www.biquge.info The cessation of the torrential rain seemed to put an end to this brutal battle, and the two armies that gradually separated were like two exhausted fighters, both thinking that they were going to win, but the fatigue made them have to stop for a while......

From sunrise to evening, the battlefield of a day of hard fighting has become the hell of Shura at this time, and the blood that cannot be stored in the countless potholes stepped out by people and horses slowly flows outward, and the reddish-brown liquid is constantly intertwined and contained, and finally even forms a blood-colored river

Perhaps the people who have died are the luckiest at this moment, at least they don't have to cry out in pain and despair like the wounded soldiers in the cold and damp land, and they don't have to be secretly sad like the nobles who are faced with casualty data......

The smell of the earth, the smell of the earth, the stench of broken arms and human entrails all over the ground on the humid plateau after the rain makes the strongest warriors unbearable to look at it

Compared with the retreating Imperial Alliance, Leo, who still had a little strength to spare, gave the latest order after a short silence

Under his orders, Finn led the Knights to inspect the battlefield, and some of the remaining soldiers joined the ranks silently after a little rest, of course, they may only care about their own robes

But to be honest, Leo himself understands that his approach is self-consolation at best, and in this kind of weather, and in this era of extremely poor medical conditions, the chances of a wounded soldier, especially the seriously injured, surviving are infinitely close to zero

With a wry smile, Leo suddenly had some envy of those seniors who had two-way doors or could easily make sulfonamides and penicillins......

Seeing the hellish scene in front of him but not helping was undoubtedly torture, Leo gave a few simple words to Al Andgristes, who was covered with many colors on his body, and then temporarily left behind under the escort of Keith

This may not be an escape, after all, Leo also needs time to prepare mentally for the fact that he may be horrified by the casualty figures that may be heard later

God used an unexpected rainstorm to make Leo pay a terrible price for his persistence for the first time......

********************

In the middle of the night, Leo's tired body curled up in the makeshift tent, and the pale blue flames in the furnace in front of him danced briskly, but he didn't feel a trace of warmth all over his body

Wrapped in his coat, Leo picked up the teacup on the stove and took a sip of black tea without honey, the slightly bitter taste was so strong in his mouth that it was almost impossible to shake off

Frowning, just about to close his eyes and rest for a while, the sound of clear footsteps came from far and near, and soon, with the brief influx of cold wind, Al and Finn, who were hanging on one arm, came together

With a bitter smile in his heart, Leo regained his body and looked at the two calmly, but his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth

"Tell me the stats, my friends......"

The battle, which took place in the autumn and winter of 1177 A.D., on the northern plateau, ended with the cessation of heavy rain and the exhaustion of both sides......

But the war itself had terrible consequences for both warring sides, breaking up countless families and making the leaders of both sides more cautious in the days that followed

Among them, the Imperial and Church coalition forces invested nearly 130,000 troops in this battle, and Rolf, who was almost desperate at the last moment of the battle, also left only 20,000 guards by his side

The army of the principality of Leo invested almost all of the strength of more than 40,000 people, and at the last moment, the number of people around Leo was at least twenty......

In terms of casualties, the direct losses of the Imperial Church coalition army were as high as 50,000, of which the number of killed accounted for eighty percent, and at the same time, the number of missing on the battlefield also exceeded 5,000, most of which were due to the opportunity to flee

In addition, because of the targeting of Tyre and the chaos of the battle, the Empire and the Church have forever lost more than 500 officers of all ranks, most of whom are middle and low-ranking officers, so that there are many cases where the supreme commander of the legion after the war is even a captain or even a squadron leader

In addition, in terms of high-end combat power, less than 3,000 knights with glory and the temple as the main body were defeated back to their prototypes in the first battle, especially other noble knights with relatively poor strength were almost all lost in this battle

Faced with just over a thousand knights, I am afraid that after the war, Rolf and Nathaniel could only look at each other and burst into tears, of course, they may be much better off than the nobles who lost the last knight of the family......

And the side that caused this consequence Leo paid the same extremely heavy and eye-catching price

More than half of the champion swordsmen were killed or wounded, and the brutal force, who was also on the front line of hand-to-hand combat, was almost canceled due to combat style and equipment problems, and even Edward and Tydamir were seriously injured

Stormwings suffered forty percent casualties, the pikemen suffered more than half of the casualties, and even the archers and spear corps, which were the last to enter the battlefield as reserves, lost more than thirty percent......

Or it can be said that after this battle, if the source of troops in Stormwind City cannot be replenished quickly, the nearly 50,000 soldiers of Leo before the war can still fight, and there are no more than 30,000

After the pre-battle ratio of 1 to 4 was turned into 1 to 3, Leo didn't know whether to comfort himself for making progress or curse the sudden bad weather......

In terms of the knights, it can be regarded as a mixed bag, on the good side, because of Finn's command of the battle and the acquisition of opportunities, although it also lost more than 200 people, but the total number of knights of 500 is the closest to the enemy's high-end combat power since the start of the war

What's more, the Knights of Punishment, who kept their lineup intact, and the Knights of the Dawn, who lost only one person, allowed Leo to retain the decisive assault force in his hands to the greatest extent

However, the casualties from the Knights of the Dawn and other knights made Leo not happy at all, and the largest proportion of the more than 200 killed was the Knights of the Dawn who fell into madness in the later stages, and the Knights after the war only had fifty-one remains, and they were almost removed from the battle

If these Leo gritted his teeth and could accept it, then the news of the death of Alexander, the Grand Master of the Knights of the Dawn, almost made him desperate to attack again after being overwhelmed with grief......

Several people in the quiet tent had no intention of speaking, and after reporting the data, Al and Finn were also quiet for the time being, only the crackling sound of the torches burning on both sides was still ringing tirelessly

It took a long time for Leo to open his mouth in a seemingly calm voice, but his red and swollen eyes showed his mood......

"Order, in the name of my Grand Duke Leo of the Storm, to promote the late Grand Master of the Knights of the Dawn to the Marquis of the Duchy, and to choose one of his sons to inherit the title, and to order Professor Pericles to choose a new fief for his family in the Duchy, and to send someone to escort His Majesty the Marquis of Alexander's ashes back to Stormwind City and buried in the Ruhr Cemetery after the funeral, and I will personally award him the knightly sword representing honor and loyalty at the funeral."

~ After speaking, Leo sighed with relief, carefully untied the precious paladin sword on his waist, and gently stroked the slightly rough scabbard for a long time......
