Chapter 49: The Seven Sins, Greed (5)
Glancing at the uneasy expression of the wounded as they returned to the battlefield, Krantiel left the front line wounded, receiving treatment from Lozfar.
Although I heard that the logistics troops quickly set up tents in the open space, they did not expect to be so well prepared, although the medical equipment is not sufficient, but considering that this is in the field, it is already the limit.
In the distance, the soldiers who were still fighting could be seen, and the soldiers who had completed the escort mission bowed to Krantiel and left, and the mastery of the battle had been handed over to Crotta.
All Crantil has to do is wait until he can play again.
Krantiel lay on the plank, looking at the glittering array of healing magic.
The silence of the clearing was so piercing that it was no longer heard except the wails of the wounded.
The extra armor in the tent was concentrated in a lonely corner, but it was not really superfluous, and each armor had monster tooth marks or claw marks, and the dozen or so wounded around Krantil were staring at him.
The group were all dressed in blood-stained armor, and the heat from them made the tent feel even more crowded.
The atmosphere was almost like worrying that the end of the world would come.
"Lord Klan."
The bald, bearded, red-armored man lying beside him spoke, and Crantiel cautiously lifted himself up and looked at the man head-on, his eyes wide:
"I remember you, Imperial Knights......."
"yes, when I was participating in the breakout operation, I was made out of the wall of fire by that guy...... Well. ”
The left part of the thigh below is all gone, probably amputated, but the wound is not visible under the gauze, and the white gauze is stained with thick blood.
"That guy...... Does it mean greed? ”
At this moment, as if Crantiel had mentioned a taboo name, all the wounded were shaken and bowed their heads.
Perhaps sensing the silence around him, for this glorious wound was bound to demoralize, the knight spoke:
"This leg was not taken away, I gave it to him, I will, no, the empire will, crusade against that monster!"
"Please don't force yourself, rest assured, when this battle is over, I will arrange the rest of your life."
Krantiel's injuries were almost healed, and he wasn't cut off like the knight, so a low-level healing technique could heal him.
"No, I want to fight heroically to the end."
The knight sighed deeply, as if feeling sorry for his injuries and inability to participate in the battle.
"You still have a wife and children...... You should be allowed to do what you want to do. ”
Krantiel stroked his beard and looked around at the faces of the people gathered here.
"Has everyone here fought greed?"
"No, the only people who can break through the enemy's strong and dense formation are the small group led by Klaas, us and Krotta...... Almost all of them were played by the enemy's deliberate actions, and it was ironic to say that the enemy seemed to have better leadership than us, who were able to speak. ”
Because of the early exit, Krantiel did not know what happened before and after the breakthrough, so with such a question, Krantiel once again threw out the question.
"Something happened."
"Klaas and His Excellency Lin Feng broke through the defense line of the demonic beast, but they were quickly filled, and the flame barrier appeared again, this time it was different...... As long as it touches, it will end up with my legs. ”
As he spoke, the knight clenched his fist hard and slammed it into the hard mud ground.
"What if I say there's a reasonable reason why they're so uniform?"
"What do you mean?"
Recalling the information Lin Feng had given him, Krantiel searched for one-sided words to piece together a complete clue.
"I think, greed, I'm afraid it's like an animal like a bee."
Krantiel's speculation puzzled everyone, both the wounded and the logistics troops could not help but turn their heads in shock, and the knight showed a surprised expression.
"It's ...... What do you mean? ”
"The soldiers of the Empire, both in terms of strength and equipment, are among the best among human countries, and even more than ten years ago, in the war launched with the Asians, our Empire was at an advantage, so why, such a brave Imperial army, with the help of knights and adventurers, would be defeated in this battle? In addition, although I have known about it for a long time, don't you think that this phenomenon of greed has never appeared in a frontal battlefield is strange when you think about it? ”
The knight touched his bald head and tilted his neck in confusion.
"I can't figure it out, is it rare that Lord Crane has found the answer?"
"Warcraft are beasts that follow their own wildness, unlike ogres and demons, ogres and demons are subhumans, why are they with Warcraft."
"It's greed!"
"That's right, if it was subhumans who had that kind of intelligence, although they would be surprised, it was also within the reasonable range, but subhumans fought side by side with the Warcraft, and the Warcraft acted in an orderly manner...... It's like having a military advisor in command. ”
Crantiel deliberately didn't continue, because he felt that there was no need for that, and the expressions on the faces of everyone present were enough for him to know that everyone had figured it out.
It is not unheard of for greedily manipulating the Warcraft to effectively fight the army, and also allowing the Warcraft that is known for its speed to detour back to the rear to surprise the army, trying to raid our back.
Whether from the perspective of timing or otherwise, this timing is too perfect, I am afraid that greed is a monster with wisdom.
“......”
Then the knight closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, and seemed to have guessed correctly.
"Then, if according to what Lord Klan said, let His Excellency Lin Feng enter the rear of the demonic beast and participate in the greedy crusade plan, will it be a situation set up by greed...... Isn't he the target of Warcraft? ”
"Your opinion is very informative, and indeed, I wonder if there is such a possibility, but, in any case, we can only leave our expectations to them."
"About the Flame Barrier...... Does Lord Klan have any specific information? ”
The knight who opened his eyes asked as if he was panting.
"Not really.".
"Sure enough...... Because we didn't receive any information about the flame barrier, but it was undoubtedly made by that guy, I heard that His Excellency Lin Feng had a magic weapon to obtain greedy information, why didn't he find out that guy had such an ability! ”
"Don't blame him, there are many reasons, but one of them is that the Seven Sins are too powerful, the countries that tried to stop them from attacking all suffered a miserable end of land loss, so almost none of the crusading troops sent by the country could get those information alive, and it is normal for His Excellency Lin Feng to have omitted the information obtained."
