Chapter 124: After the War

It's almost there. ”

With the speed of the light snow, it didn't take long for the shouts and fighting voices from the gray sky to reach our ears with the cool breeze and drizzle—it seemed that the battle in Thomas Village was still not over!

The smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger in the wind, and I patted the light snow with some anxiety, and ran up a small hill on higher ground, and suddenly the entire battlefield of Thomas Village was revealed in front of us.

Thomas Village in the firelight, is facing the impact of waves of monsters, the screams and roars that continue to come are mixed together, so that we are still a few kilometers away We also feel the tragic residual temperature, but after a few glances, I now Thomas Village as a whole, it seems to be better than I expected, take a closer look, because the terrain is similar to Vitas Village, so Thomas Village has also dug a huge ravine around it, but the difference is that this ravine is actually flowing with gurgling river, It's really like the scale of a small moat, and it dawned on me when I looked at the trajectory of this moat.

Not far from the village of Thomas, there is such a large river with sufficient flow, so these clever warriors dug a river like two arms on both sides of the ravine, and the two rivers connect the upstream and downstream of the river, so that this ravine will form a circular circulation, the river water comes from the upstream, and then goes downstream, once the enemy falls into the ravine, it will be washed away by the river, for the monster army with low IQ, this moat is an obstacle that cannot be crossed in the real sense, It's much safer than Vitas Village, but it's also a huge project, and it seems that the organization of Thomas Village has been prepared for a long time.

At this time, the battle situation in Thomas Village seems to have already entered a protracted war of attrition from the fierce long-range confrontation that had just begun, almost exactly like Vitas Village, after surviving the initial large number of casualties and completely suppressing the enemy's long-range attack monsters. The current Thomas Village has entered a relatively stable period, although the long-range attackers of the monster army are still quite large, but in the absence of command, the attacks are too scattered, and there is no longer any threat to Thomas Village.

However, it's not that I'm boasting, although there are also special operators in Thomas Village, after all, it is impossible for me to BT like me to be able to deal with the blood crows and hundreds of crippled monsters in the army one by one. As you can see, although Thomas Village has done its best to suppress it with long-range attacks, there is still a small army of crippled monsters in the outermost layer of the monster army. The sharp lightning ball attack caused a commotion in Thomas's village from time to time, and ......

"Sister, look!!"

I pointed to the outskirts of the army, and every now and then I fired a laser-like arrow into the direction of the village.

"It's supposed to be a cold crow."

Sister Sharna whispered behind me, her tone cold and grim, making me shiver.

There was a "whoosh" sound in her ears, and she had already jumped off Xiaoxue's back, the scale armor on her body and the golden hunting bow in her hand, I don't know when she had been equipped. The gold on her head fluttered in the wind, setting off her delicate and upright figure, and the dazzling confidence and grace on her face made her look as sacrosanct as a female god of war.

"You should go back quickly, but don't let the little guys in Vitas Village think that my brother Sharna is irresponsible, just leave these little minions to me."

Sister Sharna gave me a warm look, and the next moment she was locked on the figure of the cold crow. The calm tone made me feel like tens of thousands of troops in front of her eyes for a moment, and they were just small insects.

I also understand that although the current Vitas Village has successfully held off the first and most critical attack, there are still many things to deal with after the battle. It's true that it's not when I've been away from the ground for a long time, so I'm not pretentious, it's enough to give it to Sister Sharna here, with her archery skills, to focus on the cold crow and those long-range elite-level monsters, that's not a trivial matter? It's much more useful than if I stayed.

After saying goodbye to my sister in a hurry. I urged Xiaoxue to rush back to Vitas Village as quickly as possible, back and forth, it had been a long time, and at this time, the corpses of the monsters outside Vitas Village had all disappeared, only the scorched earth and the smell of blood in the air, still telling the tragedy and cruelty of the war just now.

At this time, there were many warriors around the ravine, cheering loudly, and I curiously pulled Xiaoxue over.

"Your Excellency, you're back......"

The warriors turned around and jumped out of the way for me, as if they were celebrating something, their faces flushed with excitement.

"What happened?" I jumped off the snow and put it away.

From above, some high-level transfer jobs are doing the work of cleaning up the aftermath below, and there are many monsters in the ravine that have been crushed in it without dying, and their current job is to clean up these monsters.

These shifters are surrounding a few huge beasts and the Moon Clan below, as if playing, harvesting their lives little by little, this kind of opportunity to observe is rare, so at this time the ravine is surrounded by enthusiastic warriors, while cheering for the warriors below, if anyone accidentally makes a fool, a burst of laughter will follow.

This kind of atmosphere and scene reminds me of a famous building, the Colosseum, and these onlookers are not the same enthusiastic spectators.

I can't blame these "audiences" for being cold-blooded, in the past, I also had an extremely disgusting view of this kind of entertainment that only the devil can understand, but after gradually integrating into the dark world, I have another point of view - along with war, blood, killing, hatred, in this world, there is only one thing that can never be worthy of sympathy, and that is the enemy, who knows, how many blood of the people of the dark continent are stained on the hands of the huge beasts and the moon clan below? Only by experiencing it first-hand can you understand the behind this cruel form of entertainment

The sorrow and helplessness.

I didn't appreciate this kind of torture of the enemy, but I didn't reject it, so I just left a faint sentence: Before the moon rises in the sky, be sure to clear all the monsters in the ravine", and turned around and walked into the village.

Along the way through the village, I seemed to be able to empathize with the cold-blooded and cruel faces of the soldiers watching the ravine. Everywhere there were wounded soldiers in mourning, these young lives were suffering in pain, some lying there quietly, blood spilling all over the ground, and they could no longer open their eyes.

Yes, these are all soldiers.

In the Dark Continent, both class transfers and mercenaries can enjoy the special treatment of God's crude rules. As long as their health is not low, their enemies will not be able to leave any scars on them, and they will venture on the battlefield with only two options: survival and death. It has nothing to do with being disabled or injured.

But soldiers are different, God's rules do not protect them, like ordinary civilians, if they are stabbed, they may not die, but they may have their arms cut off, they may be blinded by eyes, and after the wounds on their bodies appear, they will not heal immediately like changing classes and mercenaries. If left untreated, they will die of blood loss, which is why the transfer and mercenaries have to go out to train with the responsibility of driving the forces of hell out of the Dark Continent, while the soldiers only need to be responsible for the day-to-day guards.

Therefore, in this battle to defend the village, the biggest consumables are these soldiers, who are weaker than mercenaries. In the rain of arrows of the monster army, I don't know how much I lost, and seeing the wounds and corpses lying everywhere, as well as the painful moans that came to my ears from time to time, made my heart hesitate for a while. I can't wait to pick up the weapon in my hand and kill the monsters that are still in the ravine to vent the hatred in my heart.

"Ahh Sorry ......"

Just as I was hesitantly looking at the wounded on the ground, a petite figure suddenly accidentally bumped into my arm, and then fell to the ground with a snort.

"Elula......?"

In the moonlit glow, I could barely discern from the blood-stained face that it was still an acquaintance.

"Original... It's an adult. I'm so happy to see you're okay. The serious tone, as well as the cute tone of calling myself "myself", made the sadness in my heart a little less.

This little Roger archer, who is just 16 years old, still holds a large circle of thick in his hand? The playful black ponytail has slipped down from her neck at this time, her face is a little scorched and dirty, and there have been several holes in the leather armor on her body, and her snow-white skin is faintly revealed from it, and she has been attacked a lot, but fortunately, she has been promoted to become a mercenary, and she can recover as long as she drinks a few bottles of life potion, otherwise, she may have become a member of the roadside, how can she still jump like this.

"Alright, little one, if you want to be busy, go quickly, but remember, don't tire yourself out."

Looking at the bandages in her hand, I couldn't help but smile, took out some life potions from the inventory and handed them over, these potions were diluted, and they were still very helpful for wounds.

"Yes, yes......"

She hurriedly took the potion, then bowed respectfully to me, and ran away in a panic.

When I met Ellura, I couldn't help but feel a little better when I saw her lively, and my pace quickened a little, and in a short time I was already in Druf's big tent.

Everyone but me had already arrived, and there was an oppressive atmosphere in it.

"Wu, you're here."

The greetings of the crowd seemed somewhat weak.

"Is the post-war count out?" I didn't bother to respond to them, and hurriedly picked up a report on my desk and read it.

"114 soldiers died, 21 mercenaries died, 3 people died after being transferred, soldiers were seriously injured, minor injuries can still participate in the battle, and there are villagers who died by mistake, and some people ......"

A series of thrilling numbers flowed through my eyes, as if all my strength had been drained, and I lay on the table weakly.

"The number of casualties is much lower than expected, thanks to you and Lord Sharna." Druf tried to squeeze a smile out of his mouth, but to no avail.

“……”

"That's it! All right! Don't act like you've lost the battle, the battle isn't over yet, we can't be discouraged first, now is not the time for silence. After a moment of silence, Druf broke the silence in the tent.

"First of all, after the wounded are stabilized, the personnel who are still fighting should rest for the night, and the wounded should be handed over to the villagers to take care of, and secondly, about the soldiers who are in charge of the vigil tonight......"

When everyone came back to their senses, Druff had already planned the next steps in an orderly manner and assigned them to several other people one by one.

"By the way, what's going on with the monsters?" When Druf said me, I couldn't wait to ask.

"On the enemy side, the Black Strays and Skeleton Archers have lost seven out of ten, and the Crusty Rats are almost wiped out, and as for the other monsters, if they are going to come tomorrow, I believe the ravines we dug have been almost cleared."

Speaking of the situation on the monster's side, a faint smile finally appeared on everyone's faces, and there are not many long-range monsters left that are really threatening on the enemy's side, which means that in the next battle, it is very likely that we will pick the fruits of victory without losing a single person.

When I think of this, I can't help but feel relieved.

"If the monster army continues to attack tomorrow, then we will wipe out all the opponent's ranged attackers in one go, and then ...... them."

Druf made a rude gesture of hand cut, squeezing the last words out of his teeth. "Kill them all!"
