"Mission Ogre Scourge completed

1. Kill the Ogre Chief Grugosh (completed).

2. Destroy their descendants and block their path to rise (completed)

Please claim the mission reward as soon as possible."

The task rewards given by the system have always surprised Richard, and the more difficult the task, the more generous the reward.

Because of this reward, Richard focused on annihilation warfare in the formulation of the battle plan at the beginning, rather than pursuing a rout war.

If the main battle is a rout, Richard has at least a few ways to expel the four major tribes from the middle of the wilderness, whether it is a cavalry attack, or a blitzkrieg battle using the speed advantage brought by the knight's glove and the Divine Walking Boots, it can achieve the goal of defeating the ogre while controlling casualties.

But it is easy to defeat, but it is difficult to annihilate, the territory of the wilderness is too large, even larger than the entire Northland, and there are hundreds of thousands of ogres scattered on the wilderness.

If Richard defeated them by cutting meat with a stewed knife, the casualties would definitely be much smaller than now, but in order to complete the mission, Richard estimated that he would have to play hide and seek with ogres in the wilderness.

After all, the four major tribes are not stupid, when the casualties reach a certain level, they will no longer stick to the territory in the middle of the wilderness, compared to those civilization technology and wealth, of course, survival is more important,

If the four major tribes are directly broken up and flee in all directions, even if Richard can catch up and slowly wipe out, this time is not cost-effective.

It's not as good as the dignified and upright battle of the ogre, the four major tribes that have not felt the horror of the Richard system army, in the face of the attack of the human army that does not seem to be too large, must still focus on the battle.

This is the opportunity for Richard to eliminate the main forces of the four major ogre tribes at one time, and it is worth bearing some losses in order to get the task reward.

…

"Goo, goo..."

The sound of mourning birds kept coming from the battlefield, and these unlucky things made many soldiers upset, and they subconsciously drove away but couldn't finish it.

These funeral birds, scavenging birds, are not common on human territory, and humans have the habit of disposing of corpses, whether they are humans or animals, so funeral birds do not have much source in human territory, and they are regarded as a symbol of bad luck once in a while to be driven away.

But the creatures of the wilderness have no habit of cleaning up the corpses, whether they are beasts, kobolds, ogres, etc., the final destination of the corpses is to enter the wombs of other creatures or mourning birds.

This also fed a large number of mourning birds, and after the war, these mourning birds, who did not know whether they smelled blood or death, appeared on the battlefield in flocks, and the number was so large that it made people feel a little chilled to see.

However, it is precisely the presence of mourning birds that prevents the accumulation of a large number of carcasses and the cause of plague, and it can be said that this extremely ominous creature in the human world is actually an important part of the wilderness ecology.

There were so many corpses on the battlefield that they hadn't been buried yet.

The corpses of ogres and kobolds are dug deep pits and buried directly, but the human side can't be too perfunctory, not only can not just let the mourning bird as a ration, but also try to identify the identity, and the officers with higher status should try to bring the corpse back, even if it is an ordinary soldier, if there is a condition, they must bury the monument alone,

Although these things are cumbersome, but when conditions permit, Richard still tries his best to ask to do them, although people die like lights out, but some things are done for the living, and a certain sense of ritual is conducive to maintaining the morale of the army.

…

The night gradually darkened,

The soldiers finally set up camp before it was completely dark,

A camp like this for a temporary overnight rest will not be built in a particularly particular way, but there should be a rejection of horses, shallow ditches are still there, and a few temporary towers have been built, and a few half-elf scouts with good eyesight have been put as sentry posts.

In fact, with air units such as royal griffons scouting in the air, these sentry posts are of little significance.

But Richard still strictly requires the two legions of the Flying Bear Army and the Tiger and Leopard Army, or all the non-system legions under his command, he doesn't want these armies to be able to fight without the system army one day, and the battlefield quality that should be possessed must be possessed.

Richard inspected the camp as usual, checked whether the standards had been relaxed, and the results were quite satisfactory to him, although he had just experienced a rather tragic battle, and the huge casualties made the morale of both armies not high, but the role of strict requirements and strict training in peacetime was reflected,

The camp is still meticulous, but the atmosphere is still inevitably a little heavy, after all, although it is victorious, it is not a complete victory, the losses are not small, and the battalion is full of wounded soldiers.

However, Richard was not too worried, as long as the rich rewards after the war would soon heal their wounds, and these surviving successes would become a model and encourage more people to follow the path of joining the army.

"Hello Marquis."

"Lord Marquis..."

Richard took Elena and several officers all the way to the tour, and finally came to the last stop of his inspection,

Wounded barracks.

In addition to the people who died directly in battle, there are more wounded people who are being treated at this time, compared with other armies of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, Richard's army pays more attention to battlefield treatment and is more professional, although it is not as good as the medical treatment of later generations, but the conventional bandaging and disinfection is very set, and it also greatly improves the survival rate of the wounded soldiers, after all, in this era, it is more about the subsequent infection that takes the life of the wounded soldiers.

"Ahh

"Brother, give me a good one!"

In the wounded barracks, there were constant wails, even if there was a good treatment team, but Richard didn't know how to get anesthetics, and all the pain caused by treatment was resisted by soldiers.

"The Marquis is here."

Soon, sharp-eyed people discovered the existence of Richard and the others, and many wounded soldiers who could still move tried to salute Richard, and even the original wails became much quieter.

"Don't move, get some rest."

Richard stopped those who tried to salute him, and began to make his rounds around the camp of the wounded soldiers, speaking words of encouragement to the wounded soldiers, and helping to refresh two more medicines, and quickly calmed the wounded soldiers.

The wounded soldiers who can be brought here are basically still saved, only the recovery is good, and even many can return to the battlefield, but sometimes there is a little accident, at this time Richard stopped in front of a bed,

The person lying on the bed was a low-ranking officer of the Flying Bear Army, the injured officer didn't seem to be missing arms or legs, it didn't seem to be a major injury, but the corners of his mouth were oozing a little blood, but Richard could see that his chest was a little sunken, and he hurt his internal organs, I'm afraid he wouldn't live long,

The other party is an old man who has been working for Richard since the Hunter family and the Will family fought, although Richard can even call out his name, the other party has slowly accumulated military merits in the battle after battle to exchange for breathing methods, and has become a low-level officer, if he can survive, with his accumulation, he will probably be able to change the steel breathing method this time.

The person lying on the bed also sensed something and slowly opened his eyes.

"Lord Richard."

After recognizing Richard, the other party even wanted to get up and salute, but was quickly stopped by Richard.

"Lord Richard, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you anymore."

Richard was silent and silent, sometimes Richard defined some of his actions as showmanship, but after doing this kind of thing for a long time, who can tell whether it is true or false.

The so-called more than doing is becoming a gentleman.

When you keep doing something, it can't be simply put on show.

Such a loyal man who wanted to serve him until his death inevitably touched Richard.

Richard turned his head to look at Elena, who remembered that she could use all the magic of the light system, and it might work wonders for healing.

Elena shook her head helplessly at Richard, she understood what Richard meant, and she also wanted to try her best to treat the wounded soldiers, but her state did not allow it.

"My magic is always running dry here."

"Magic?"

Richard thought for a moment, then took out a small piece of red crystal from his bosom and threw it at Elena.

"Here, you try this..."
