Chapter 188: The Woman with Her Back to the Corpse
The next day, in the wasteland hundreds of miles away from Fort Quito, a fierce white-knuckle battle was being staged.
Even if she knew the severity of the situation in the empire, there was nothing Walter could do now, and now she could only try to regroup.
The sound of fighting echoed on the tragic battlefield, hand-to-hand combat, the remnants of the strong orcs and an orderly human army collided together, in the shadow of the sword and sword, the stumps and broken arms flew sideways, and the blood stained the red and blazing sand, dyeing the dry sand grains red, like the residue of iron ore, exuding a strange metallic smell under the scorching sun, and the adrenaline stimulation made both armies sacrifice their lives to attack, and in the face of skill and numbers, even the orcs who were born with superiority gradually collapsed.
A slender figure that shouldn't have appeared on such a battlefield snapped back and forth among the orcs like lightning, the two short swords in her hands were as nimble as her arms, aiming at the orc's deadly and vulnerable parts to deliver fateful attacks.
Then she stopped in front of the leader of the orc army, took a deep breath, and pulled out the heavy sword she was carrying behind her with a beautiful whirlwind, swung it at an incredible speed, and smashed it into the green-skinned orc in front of her with ten thousand momentum, under the onslaught of the heavy sword, the orc raised the huge axe card that blocked and shattered in response, and the armor was twisted like fragile tofu under this gravity, and then I saw her twist her waist to drive the muscles of her whole body to whirl, and the second sword was swung out, slashing from the top left to the bottom right, The sound of the wind from the swing of the heavy sword whistled in my ears.
Walter's expression was serious, his wrist was forced, and the orc's shoulder bones were crushed by gravity, and with a morale-boosting shout, Walter cut the opponent in two, and then raised the heavy sword with one hand, and put it back into the rough scabbard behind her with a heavy lift, she gasped, the looming black tattoo on her face slowly faded, and looked up at the battlefield on the other side, her own soldiers had almost cleaned up the enemy.
After the demonization of her body, the power of both the Brilliant Flower and the White Dew Sakura Blowing Snow has been greatly improved, and now she will not necessarily lose even if she faces a whole team of orcs, except that the black tattoo on her body will appear when the power is overused, and the body does not seem to have any side effects.
"Chief, it's been taken care of." A soldier stepped forward to report.
This battle is just to sweep up the defeated orc army, this kind of opportunity is not much, after the collapse of the empire, the most issued task of Fort Quito is to cover the retreat of the army, and this kind of task is actually not bad with sending the head, rather than accepting a commission with a high risk factor, she would rather take her own people to fight guerrilla warfare on the dangerous battlefield, by cutting off the enemy's head in exchange for a commission, although the efficiency is a bit low, but it is always safer.
"Cut off all the heads of the corpses, and we'll go back." Walter commanded.
"Yes."
Walter leaned down, pulled out the two short swords pinned to his waist, skillfully inserted them into the neck of the corpse, and then turned his arm to make a beautiful circumcision, cutting off the orc's head, the technique was beautiful and skillful, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations on her face when she did these things, as if she had just cut off a leek, and after staying on this kind of battlefield for a long time, she was naturally used to it, everyone said that the battlefield was precarious, and she was walking on the edge of life and death, but when this kind of wandering has become a part of daily life, it is nothing more than that.
Thinking about the people brought out this time, and the people who were still standing on the battlefield, a trace of gloom flashed in Walter's eyes.
It was she who had harmed them, she thought to herself.
Looking up to the west, the sun had already set, and the remnants of the sun were like blood, reflecting everyone's tired and haggard faces, but there was also a trace of relief on their faces, for they could soon rest, and in the safety of Fort Quito, when great sorrow was accustomed, even this small rest could bring happiness, and eating meat in front of the campfire with their comrades who were still alive was already the greatest joy for them.
"Hurry up, the sun is going down, and there will be demonic beasts after that, and then it will be troublesome." Walter urged everyone, and his head cutting off also sped up a little.
In the end, when they completed the collection task, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, darkness covered the earth, and after the light disappeared completely, everyone could only move in the direction of Fort Quito through the dim moonlight, the distance was not far, only a few thousand meters, if there were no demonic beasts in these thousands of meters, then it was easy to say anything.
The troops moved slowly, much more reliable than the mercenaries, who had experienced real combat and training, and Vought's troops were the strongest in Fort Quito, and their loyalty and cooperation were beyond the reach of an ordinary rabble, they had collected a large amount of commissions in a short period of time by various means, but so far they had not raised enough capital to make a comeback, not even a tenth.
War is the most financially and materially draining activity, and now with the emperor's call, it will definitely be much easier to recruit, but money and equipment are still an issue.
If she could, she wanted to wait until she had raised enough money and then go to Felik.
It was really helpless to say goodbye in the first place, she couldn't selfishly give up the remnants of hope for her because of her own wishes, and if she hadn't come here, she wouldn't have found the living Emperor Bagh.
"Felik, where are you now, and who are you saving?" Walter muttered to himself, a smile on his lips.
"Chief, front...... It seems that there are Warcraft. ”
Suddenly the scout's arrival made Walter vigilant, and in the night, a glimmer of light flashed in her pupils, and she walked towards the front troops, who were lying behind a hill, cautiously peeking out, Walter leaned forward, grabbed the mound of dirt in his hand, quietly poked his head out, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, a pitch-black silhouette in the distance was crawling on the way to Fort Quito, from that silhouette, Walter knew at a glance that it was a monster.
Do you want to take a detour?
No, the situation seems to be a little weird, why is this monster motionless, although it is upwind, the other party can't smell it, but it is unreasonable to be so quiet as a nocturnal creature.
Sniffing lightly the smell in the air, the strengthened body gave her excellent five senses, and there seemed to be something mixed in the fishy smell in the air.
After observing for a few more minutes, Walter made a judgment: "It seems to be dead." ”
"Dead? Wouldn't it, Captain, you see that its head is still there, shouldn't it be cut off and brought back when it dies? ”
Warcraft of this size are much more expensive than orcs, and if it was done by a mercenary, it would definitely be brought back, even if it was not done by a mercenary, lying in this kind of place, it would definitely be cut off from the head, and there was no reason why the body was intact.
Although there were some doubts in his heart, Walter still firmly believed in his judgment: "Dead." ”
She took the lead over the small hill, slid down the steep slope, slowly approached the monster, and then went around to the other side of the monster, she saw the smashed face of the monster, and the woman sitting on the belly of the monster, the other party turned his head and looked at her coldly, the strange dark green pupils glowed frighteningly in the darkness, like a nocturnal beast.
"You...... Who is it? Walter spoke.
