Chapter One Hundred and Three: Keep Attacking!

The sky is spotless after the rain, and the red sun that is about to fall between the mountains burns the clouds on the horizon red. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the muddy ground, the soldiers who had fought all day were dragging their tired bodies to clean up the battlefield. The blood that could not be stored in the potholes that countless people stepped out of slowly flowed outward, and the reddish-brown liquid continued to interweave and contain, and finally merged to form blood-colored streams.

Perhaps the dead are the luckiest at the moment, at least they don't have to cry out in pain and despair like the sick and wounded in the cold, damp land.

The rain-soaked fields lacked the scent of the earth, and the stench was stinking with severed limbs and minced flesh and internal organs, a sight that even the most elite legion guards turned pale.

The best inn in Shining Gold Town, the pride of the Lion King, is already full of sick people, and there are more wounded people who have been brought in by the soldiers who are cleaning the battlefield, and there is hardly even a place to put their feet here!

The nun's face turned pale, a sickly flush appeared on her cheeks, beads of sweat slid down her forehead, and she couldn't remember how many healing spells she had unleashed! One thousand or eight hundred?

Even so, there were some seriously injured soldiers who had already returned to the arms of the dragon god before she could be treated.

"That's right! In this way, crushed ground grass and silver leaf grass are applied to the wound and then wrapped with clean linen. The nun endured the feeling of dizziness, ignored the screams of the wounded, pressed the wound hard, and then tightened the bandage in her hand: "Be sure to tie it tightly, even if the wounded person curses you or threatens to kill you, you must tie it tightly, otherwise the wound will burst and kill them!" ”

Even if she is promoted to a high-level nun, she can use large-scale group healing techniques, but the seriously injured need more precise individual treatment, which is why she will overdraw her mental power.

The remaining lightly wounded were not in danger of life in the short term, so the nun began to teach some of the soldiers assigned to help in the wounded barracks to bandage their wounds after releasing a cure that had been weakened by lack of mental strength.

Quickly bandaging a soldier with a slashed arm, the nun stood up and was about to speak, but the dizziness made her stagger, but fortunately the soldier who followed her helped her in time.

"It's okay, you go ahead and let me rest." The nun gritted her teeth, waved her hand at the soldier who was supporting her, and then struggled to a corner and sat down to close her eyes to rest.

The few houses in Shining Gold had been given to wounded soldiers and soldiers after a great battle, and a tent appeared next to the blacksmith shop in Shining Gold, which was the temporary headquarters headquarters.

The wet dirt made everything in the tent soazy, but Isabel and Edric were unconscious, waiting for the results of the post-battle statistics.

The curtain was opened, and the commander of the First Legion, Sharif, walked in, gave a military salute to the two, and said with sadness:

"Commander, General Edric, after this brilliant victory, allow me to inform both here."

Isabel nodded, her face was also very serious, she was the supreme commander in this battle, and she even made some very cold decisions on the battlefield in order to win.

Taking a deep breath, Sharif unfolded the sheepskin scroll in his hand, gently blew the still wet ink, and said in a mournful tone:

"First of all, let's talk about the results of our battle, in this battle, we killed and captured a total of more than 1,500 enemy troops, of which a total of 367 were captured, not including the seriously wounded, some of the remaining enemies fled into the forest, and some fled to Stormwind City, I think they will be captured by Stormwind City, but there are not many of them."

Isabel breathed a sigh of relief from the results, it was a glorious battle, even if the number of enemies defeated was not much more than the number of enemies that had been fended off by relying on the walls before, but fighting the enemy head-on, this was the first great victory in the City of Angels!

She had been worried that the lord's personality was too kind, and she would be furious when she learned of the heavy losses. This time to launch a counterattack against the orcs, she repeatedly emphasized that the orcs in the Storm Kingdom area were empty of defense, and it would not take much loss to take it.

However, after this battle, the damage inflicted by the enemy was somewhat beyond Isabelle's expectations, and the wounded and corpses all over the ground nearly broke her down while proving that human courage was not inferior to that of orcs!

"Go on!" Isabel calmed down, the first frontal defeat of the enemy, and more than a thousand killings, were enough for her to hand over to Xiao Yi, only the number of casualties was not so tragic......

"I'm sorry commander, honorable general, I'm afraid the following news will affect the mood of the two of you." Sharif's expression became more and more somber.

"Our casualties in this battle are as follows, 1,000 legion guards, about 650 people can still fight, 120 killed, the rest are wounded, the current injury is stable, I believe that we will be able to return to the army soon, there are no cripples."

Although the legion guards have always been at the forefront, their excellent equipment, good training, and rich experience, as well as the division of troops in the later stage of the orcs, make their casualties not as great as they seem.

"There are three thousand five hundred champion swordsmen, the number of good battles is one thousand seven hundred, the number of casualties is one thousand eight hundred, of which eight hundred were killed in battle, two hundred and sixteen were seriously wounded, and the rest of the wounded are in solid condition, but nearly five hundred will forever lose the chance to take up arms again......"

The huge casualty figure made Isabelle's hand grip on the arm of the chair tightly, and Edric also looked at her with some concern: "Read! Gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word.

Swallowing his saliva, Sharif hurriedly continued reading: "There are a thousand marksmen, one hundred and thirty casualties, of which thirty are dead, the rest are wounded, no one died from their wounds, and they will soon return to the battlefield." ”

The enemy once again divided his forces on the already small number of troops, trying to quickly crush the human flank, but encountered the marksmen, who can also perform some long-range strikes on rainy days, to teach the enemy attacking the flank a hard lesson, and succeeded in eating all the incoming enemies with small casualties!

"The archer corps as a reserve army of two and a half thousand men, casualties ...... Most of the casualties were lost, of which less than 1,500 people of the 1st, 3rd and 5th regiments survived...... Less than two hundred. Sharif's voice stuttered a little, even for an iron-blooded man like him, grief gnawed at his heart in the face of such huge casualties among his comrades.

"Bang-" The wooden handle of the chair was crushed by Isabel, and the sharp wooden thorns even pierced into her beautiful hand, and blood dripped down it. But no one comforted him, and no one dared to speak.

Isabel felt that the loss of the Light Marksman Legion, the lord would probably have to skin her alive! Because the reason why these three regiments are so tragic is themselves!

But Isabel did not regret it, at that time, the archers had lost their most important role, and at that time, if they did not react, the individual strength was strong, and in the chaos that was most beneficial to the orcs, it was very likely that the infantry line would be penetrated by the enemy!

Don't think about it, she knows that when the infantry line is broken through by the orcs, there is no doubt that the infantry will be defeated, and if the infantry is defeated, then what's the use of holding these more than 3,000 people in her hands? Expect these shooters to fight the enemy like infantry?

So even if she does it again, she will use these soldiers who have lost their long-range strike means on the battlefield to ensure the stability of the infantry line!

"Anything else?" There was a long silence before Isabel spoke.

"The griffons are not damaged, the last air force of the enemy, under the blows of Lord Alux, has already been killed, and for some time to come, the enemy will be left without an air force! That's it all! Sharif quickly finished the rest of the report.

Underneath the cold data, there were fresh lives, and Isabel was silent for a while, and finally shouted, "General Edric." ”

"Ma'am!" After the war, Edric's address to Isabel changed back to Lady, and he stood up and saluted.

"Reorganize the army and gather the Legion Guards, Marksmen, and Champion Swordsmen who can still fight! Tonight we rushed overnight to take Stormwind in one fell swoop! Isabel thrust the long sword leaning against the edge of the table back into the belt and said without the slightest emotion.

Edric paused for a moment, then hesitated: "With all due respect, ma'am! ”

He frowned and said, "Although this is a very good opportunity to attack, I have to remind you that the soldiers have just gone through a battle, and the physical strength consumed has not been fully replenished, and such an attack by you will exhaust them!" ”

As he spoke, Edric's voice also raised little by little: "And you took most of the soldiers with you, leaving me with less than a thousand shooters and a large number of wounded soldiers, if the enemy organizes enough troops to raid us, then the town of Shining Gold will definitely fall, and you will be blocked by the enemy!" ”

"I understand! I understand all this, Your Excellency! Isabel said in a strong tone:

"Even though I know all this, I'm going to do it! Now the enemy's large army has just been defeated by us, although the enemy's organization is very weak, but if the enemy once the enemy has reorganized a small army, it is easy to resist our attack by relying on the city wall! Tell me, then, how many more men do we need to fill that fortress, General? ”

Isabelle's eyes were fixed on Edric, and he said in a very serious tone: "If we can't capture Stormwind City in time, will the enemy, who has suffered such a huge defeat and is under our command, ask for help from the enemy's navy?" If we can't block the port in time, then how can we resist a large-scale enemy landing? ”

Edric was silent, he knew that Isabel was right, and it was the right thing to do to attack the enemy quickly and contain the favorable terrain before he could recover from the defeat, but his weak forces and cautious character forced him to object.

"You convinced me." Edric said dryly: "Bring the griffin and the silverback wolf, they can keep you safe from attack at night, and I will transfer the two thousand champion swordsmen left behind in the West Spring Fortress......"
