Chapter 102: Lady with a Light Sigh (117)
With the Tiger King forcing the last wave of apostle soldiers led by a few mid-level apostles to a corner of the canyon to prepare for the final encirclement and suppression, the ambush battle of the entire canyon can be said to be about to come to an end. This war itself is an extremely difficult war for the humans of the Denomah Empire, and it may even suffer total annihilation.
After all, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides are very obvious. In terms of numbers, the apostles had almost exhausted all they had, almost reaching four or five thousand people. And what about the humans of the Denoma Empire, although reinforcements are still coming to this canyon from the rear. But the ratio between the two sides is still only less than 1:5.
One to five, of course, it is worth it that the apostolic side is one, and those human sides of the Denoma Empire are five. This ratio of five to five was calculated by the so-called experts of mankind through a series of complex calculations. The approximate meaning of this one-to-five victory method is. In a normal war between the Apostles and the Humans, if the Humans wanted to win, they would have to expend at least five times as many troops as the Apostles. Of course, this one-to-five victory method can actually be changed. For example, in the case of terrain advantage, it may be that the victory method is only 1 to 3 or less. But if there are high-ranking apostles among the apostles, then it may be one to ten, and they are all in vain.
The second bad effect on the humans of the Denoma Empire is that they have ambushed heavily in the only canyon in this armored city that can be called advantageous terrain. But it was not so much that the apostles were ambushed, but that the apostles were running headlong. Because this canyon does not have any topographical disadvantages for most of the apostles. Isn't it just a canyon of a few tens of meters? It is not an absolutely smooth cliff, and most of the apostolic soldiers only need to take a slight leap, and then with the help of the rocks protruding from the canyon, they can easily climb the canyon. And once they climbed the canyon, the soldiers of the Denomah Empire were left with only one way to die.
But all these wars, which were supposed to be won by the apostles, were completely reversed because of their carelessness and for an unexplained reason. Carelessness kills people. This is very clear to both the humans and the other races that live on this continent. But these apostles don't have the slightest bit of awareness, take this canyon as an example. If they had chosen to bypass it, they would not have been ambushed by human soldiers here. Moreover, even if they came to the canyon, they would not use such a rude way, if they were willing to divide their forces to attack the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, then it would be impossible for those human soldiers who were ambushed on the canyon to maintain such a comfortable long-range output so easily.
As for the other reason, although I don't want to have anything to do with it, at least the Tiger King and the human soldiers of the Denoma Empire have always insisted that it is because of my merits. And why do I say that? Because almost all the last surviving humans and tiger kings have seen with their own eyes, and the horrible appearance I have become, and the huge scythe that suddenly appeared and disappeared, and the skeletons that have suddenly mutated, are the reasons that changed the tide of this battle. And in the end, it seems that it was still me who completely ended a war.
Killed two high-ranking apostles, wounded one high-ranking apostle, and caused another high-ranking apostle to escape. I seem to have done a lot of things that humans would never have been able to do. However, is the war really over so quickly? According to statistics, the number of apostolic troops who came to attack the armored city this time was about 12,300. In this case, it should be necessary for at least four high-ranking apostles to lead this large army of apostles. If that's all there is to it, then it seems that I have killed or driven away all the high-ranking apostles. But is it really that simple? Is it true that all the High Apostles have been killed or defeated by us?
At this time, the Tiger King had almost cleaned up the battlefield. Only a hundred or so apostles remained. And the Tiger King is targeting those middle-level apostles. Without the high-level apostles, in the current situation, only those middle-level apostles have the ability to pose a threat to the humans of the Dnoma Empire.
And what about me? The focus now is on how to extract clues about the War Juggernaut from the mouth of this high-ranking apostle who is already dazed with a double sword in his hand (now a single sword). Well, believe me, I'm pretty good at torture.
I took a jug of water from a soldier of the Dnomah Empire and poured it on the head of the groggy High Apostle. With a large amount of water washing his mind, he finally regained his senses. However, after he saw me, he actually had a tendency to faint again.
This high-ranking apostle is really strange enough. Compared to the human world, the high-level apostles should belong to the nobles. Especially among the apostles, if he has made enough achievements in battle, it is possible to become a high-ranking apostle, then he should also come out of the war, but why is his courage so small now? This is so small that it is much more than I expected.
"When you wake up, don't go to sleep. "I looked with interest at the High Apostle whose thigh I had pierced. In fact, he should have made me feel good for myself. For the arrow I shot through his thigh did not carry the breath of my death. So it was just a penetrating wound to him, which was nothing at all in terms of the physique he was trying to. "Now, you can tell me, do you want to live?"
The High Apostle gave me a hateful look and immediately turned his head away. It seems to be quite tough. Well, good, I love that.
"Do you think you're going to be able to live without you talking? No, what I'm trying to tell you is that I know what you're up to. Don't you want to be able to recover from the injury on your leg as soon as possible and then find a way to escape? One, you can't beat me, and second, your recovery speed can't keep up with the speed at which I hurt you again. ”
"What?" the High Apostle looked at me with some horror, "How do you know?"
I smiled contemptuously: "You apostles are really like this, you can't turn your brains." You think yourselves are clever enough, but your intellect is low. Listen, of course you might live. But the only way you can survive is to answer my questions honestly. Otherwise, your ultimate fate will be like the corpses of the other apostles in this canyon, and you will become the food for the new life of this canyon. ”
Then, obviously, I could see that the High Apostle was suddenly trembling. This is a normal reaction to being frightened. Hahaha, I didn't expect that he, as a high-level apostle, was still scared by me. It's just hilarious, hilarious.
"Say, is there an orc imprisoned in your world?"
"I don't know!" the High Apostle tried to resist, but I immediately shot an arrow, and this arrow was different from the previous one that hit him, it had a little bit of my death breath. And I shot at the right target, hitting his injured thigh, and although it seemed like it was only making his slowly healing wound a little bigger, my breath of death was deep in the flesh of his thigh. If he is injured again, then the best situation for him in the future is to spend his life in a wheelchair.
"You are very proud, apostle. I smiled coldly and stepped on his wound: "But, you don't understand, your legs have been invaded by my death breath. Of course, this is not a terrible thing for your apostles, after all, you apostles have great resilience. However, the situation is different for you now. Didn't you notice that you were already injured, and if you weren't able to recover from your injuries, your leg might not be saved. What's more, I can't promise that I won't do anything to other parts of your body. ”
"You, what do you want to do?" the High Apostle stared at me with wide eyes, his eyes full of horror. The body was shaking from the severe pain in the thighs.
"What I wanted to do was very simple. I smiled coldly: "That's to tell me, did you catch an orc!
"I, I'm thinking about it... ”
"Listen, ugly thing, you don't have much time to think about these questions at all. You can only answer me as soon as possible! Otherwise, the big man next to you will be your best example!"
The big man is naturally the sturdy apostle next to him. Of course, now he's just a corpse. I ended his life in the most direct way possible. Obviously, this should be a good example of him. After all, this was one of his companions, and they should still be of the same high status among the apostles.
"Wait, I remember! We did capture a lot of orcs as slaves. But I don't know which one are you talking about?"
"It's the high-ranking apostle that the thing just ran away talked about. Do you want to die?"
"Wait, think about it, I know who he's talking about! That dog thing, ran away on its own, left us here, he'll regret it one day! The bereaved lord won't let him go, a hybrid bastard!"
"Do you say or don't you say?" the arrow came out of the string, but it didn't hit him. The threatening arrow still made him cry out in terror.
"I didn't say I wouldn't say it, you give me a chance, let me think, by the way, I remember!" the High Apostle hurriedly shouted, "I know who he is! he is an orc brought back from the northeastern border of this country when the Lord Mourned laid an ambush on you!"
"What's your name, say!"
"This, I really don't know this! But we don't usually deal with these races that have been captured from your world, I really don't know about that!"
"Isn't it called the War Juggernaut!!" Another arrow was already formed, and such a death threat was still very useful.
He thought for a moment and affirmed, "Yes, yes, it's the War Swordmaster!" It's just that I haven't seen him either, but I've only heard from the mouth of that half-blood bastard that he seems to be the test subject of the Lost Lord, used to improve the abilities of our apostles. ”
I see, I didn't expect that such a great orc hero as the Sword Master of War would now end up with the fate of becoming an experimental object of the Apostle clan, and because he was in the Apostle's world, would he be able to come back alive? It seems that the only one who can escape safely in the world of the Apostle who is caught in the Apostle's world should be Viren, the magician. "Say, how did you get the War Juggernaut to improve your abilities!"
"This, I don't know, I really don't know. "I saw that my bow and arrows were already aimed at his head, and it seemed that I didn't mean to let him go anymore. He hurriedly hugged his head and lay on the ground, trembling: "Although my level is also a high-level apostle, Lord Mourner seems to prefer the kind of half-blood mongrels and those cannon fodder of the test products. I just heard that a test subject named Jun said that Lord Mourner extracted the blood of that orc through a means from another world, and then used what method I don't know!"
Blood, I pursed my lips. Could it be that orc blood can really improve the apostles' abilities? I have seen this, because the high-ranking apostle of the half-blood just now is a good example of this. "That orc, what's going on now? ”
"I really don't know. Undead, although I am also a high-ranking apostle, there is also a hierarchy among high-level apostles. Now that the bereaved master trusts that human being very much, there are still three test subjects, and we don't have much value at all. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been pulled in, and it would have been just this waste. ”
"Waste? You would still say that the soldiers you brought with you were waste? If it weren't for the fact that you were waste, these soldiers would have easily fallen into the hands of humans? At this time, you don't think about your own responsibility, but instead pass the buck to those soldiers, you, damn it!"
