Chapter Twenty-Nine: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (Finale)
Evan kicked the corpse at his feet and looked to the left and right, and the brother on the left had an arrow stuck in his right arm, but he slashed it with his unskilled left hand, and his face was hideous; The brother on the right was red-eyed, roared loudly, and even bled from the corners of his mouth.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and looked up at the red sun shining on the red earth, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes, and the battle began suddenly and ended quickly.
Looking at the enemy who knelt down and surrendered in an open area not far ahead, Evan, although tired, but his heart was extremely happy, and it only took half an hour for this battle of 10,000 people to end with an absolute victory for his side, which cannot but be said to be a kind of glory.
Look at the blood-stained brown land around him, where lies a young life, at this time, this young man is pale, lying on the ground, panting heavily, covered with blood, with a long wooden spear stuck in his stomach, at this time, blood is pouring out of his fingers covering the wound, this man who was seriously injured in the end is Gale who has attacked Evan, and the funny thing is that it is also a wooden spear that makes Gale fall to the ground at this time.
"Help me? Please help me? I don't want to die, I really don't want to die? ”
At this moment, Gail's blue eyes and pupils were already a little dilated, his ** voice was getting lower and lower, and his mouth kept saying words for help, hoping that Evan who was standing next to him could save him.
But how could Evan save him, at this moment Evan's face was already stained red with blood, and he looked at Gail's eyes, without a trace of emotion, no pity or sympathy, only an ant-like contempt and indifference.
As a strong contender for the leader, as a fierce Viking, Gail's performance at this time did disappoint Evan, Gale did not even have the courage to face death at the very least, even if he inherited the territory, what would it bring to the people?
"You stop - you stop - you despicable villain, I will not let you go when I die, I will not ——。"
Gale saw Evan reach out his right hand and grasp the shaft of the spear, cursing loudly as if he were returning to the light, as if he were trying to ease the fear of the Death Leader.
Evan ignored Gail's loud curses, and as his right hand was forced, he pierced Gail's not strong body fiercely, which made Gail's words stop abruptly, his eyes opened wide as if they were about to burst out of his sockets, and blood kept pouring out of his mouth.
Seeing Gail, who had completely lost his breath, Evan drew his spear and walked in the direction of the former warriors, he was going to look for Garay's traces.
Ore's men led his men with bloodstains, wandering among the corpses, stepping on sticky bloodstains under their feet, searching among the corpses, mending the bodies of those who were seriously wounded and not dead, and ending their suffering once and for all.
This can't be said that they are cruel, in this era of lack of medical care and medicine, and the medical conditions are simple and rude, as long as the injury is serious, it represents death, and there are those who slowly shed blood and died in pain on the battlefield, it is better to cut off their lives directly, which is also a relief.
Olaf and his warriors, who were receiving the enemy who were on their knees begging for mercy, pulled out from the surrenderers with a pale face and panicked or angry yelling, broke out to the outskirts of the crowd, and cut off the heads of the opponents with a sword, allowing their blood to gush out and their bodies fall on the dirty ground.
The prisoners of war kneeling on the ground watched with fear as the fierce team members wandered around, praying in their hearts that bad luck would not befall them, they did not want to die like this, at this time they were extremely resentful of their dead lord Ramqvist and her three sons, all these tragedies were caused by them, but now how many clansmen have been buried for the mistakes they have committed, these dead warriors have their friends, they have their relatives.
In fact, Olaf did not kill the captives at will, the people he picked out were all blood relatives who belonged to the Ramqvist family after identification, and there was no need to leave the relatives of the culprit.
As a person who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, Olaf knows the meaning of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, so he immediately found out these blood relatives among the captives, and cut off their heads without hesitation, so that they can go with Ramqvist and reunite with the family.
"Adoptive father! You pay attention to Xiagaray to see if he is hiding among the captives, and by the way, interrogate the captives who knows the whereabouts of Lu Daogare. ”
"Ole, a few of you ordered to go down and make everyone pay attention to the dead manpower?"
Evan, a few steps closer, spoke loudly to Olaf and Ole, while he himself walked among the corpses scattered all over the place, looking for traces of Garay.
Time passed little by little, the sky was completely dark, countless torches shone on the open field, countless Vikings sat by the fire, talking and laughing loudly, their clothes were bloodstained, some even had scars on their bodies, but after they bandaged them with rags, they sat on the cold ground like this, talking and joking with their partners unscrupulously.
Not far from them, there were three other gathering places, which, though equally lit by torches, were much quieter than the noise here.
"Evan! No trace of Garay was found anywhere, no body was found, and the captives could not tell why, for they were beaten stupid by us, and no one paid any attention to Garay, and it seemed that Garay had left his warrior and ran away alone. ”
Ignoring the blood and dirt on his body, Olaf held a piece of roast meat in his big hand and said loudly to his adopted son as he shoved it into his mouth.
"Evan! We also searched the whole body, and there was no shadow of Garay in the dead and wounded, and it seemed that he had really escaped. ”
The Ole brothers, seeing Evan turning his head to look at them, also hurriedly said to Evan.
Seeing that everyone said this, Evan also knew in his heart that Garay seemed to have really run away, although he was a little unwilling to kill Garay in his heart, but now it is useless to say more, people have run away, there is no need to blame himself or others, as long as he is careful in the future, that Garay should not be able to make any big waves, thinking about this, Evan couldn't help but ask what he cared about.
"What about our casualties? How many people died? How much did you hurt? ”
"After listening to your order earlier, the teams have counted 756 dead and 1,089 wounded."
Speaking of this topic, Olaf, who was originally competing with the barbecue, also felt that the originally fragrant and tender barbecue did not seem to taste so good for a while, and replied with a somewhat solemn expression.
