Chapter 40: What to do after the battle
The consumption of last night's "revelry" was not something to ignore, and Julius and Romeona sat by the campfire, ignoring the corpses in the surrounding area, not because they liked to be surrounded by dead bodies, but because they were too lazy to deal with them. Fortunately for them, it is winter, and even if the corpse is left unattended, it will not decay and grow bacteria for a while. As for what will happen after this time...... They didn't think that they, who might have left by then, needed to bother with such a pile of corpses. It seemed irresponsible to do so, but both Julius and Romeona thought that since they had eliminated so many horse thieves in the place, the rest, no matter how you looked at it, should not be left to the people who had done their best to maintain law and order.
But Lulunaka doesn't seem to think so, she's doing something that most people would never be happy to do as long as they have that kind of conditions, search for corpses. The faces of the dead are not very good-looking, especially since the bodies of these dead people are starting to stink. Lulunaka, however, didn't care, happily touching the corpses, which might have been cut off or poked into holes. There is a blood hole in the human face, and there is a mixture of blood and brain plasma flowing out of it, this kind of corpse, let alone a child, I am afraid that adults can also sit down with weak legs in fright.
Romeo Ona happened to see Lulunaka searching a man whose face had been destroyed, her little hands groping around his body, and finally finding a small pocket, which she picked up and screamed with joy. If it weren't for that scenario, Lulunaka would undoubtedly be a child now, but a child wouldn't laugh so happily around a terrifying death, and perhaps only a demon's child would behave like that.
"Do you have any hobby of piercing other people's faces?" asked Romeona suddenly to Julius.
Julius was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head, "No, I definitely don't have this kind of perverted hobby......" He looked at the corpse beside Lulunaka, remembering that this man was indeed killed by him, "At that time, the only way to let him die instead of me will die is to stab him in the head with a sword." He...... It's kind of unlucky, so I caught it with my face. Julius did not know this man, and he did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he was doing, and he did not feel that there was any pity in the death of a man who lived by plundering and killing others, and even by killing people for fun.
"Is it the best choice?" said Romeona.
"It was probably the most appropriate response at that time, after all, there were so many people surrounding me, and I didn't want to be slashed by a weapon behind me. "But it's also possible that I was ...... I'm so excited to do such a neat thing. Julius didn't think much of saying that he was a murderer, as if he had become a devil who killed for pleasure...... Even those killed were robbers and horse thieves.
"You scared a lot of people away. "I didn't expect a human head to be so fragile and so easily penetrated...... Many of them were probably frightened. ”
"You freak the hell out of me, too. Julius thought back to last night's events with a bitter smile on his face, "You don't feel like you cut people into pieces like that...... Disgusting and strenuous ?
"I'm used to it. "It's much easier than swinging a soaked stick in the waves." It's also good to do this, at least some people are scared and run away without looking back...... Although it was overtaken. Speaking of which, Romeona looked at Julius' body, "Are you okay with your injuries?"
"I've healed, I didn't have any injuries to my internal organs, so I'm probably fine. Julius raised his arms and examined his body.
"Your resilience is amazing. Romeona said, and Julius touched his head, "I don't think it's something to be surprised about." ”
Romeoona didn't think it was anything ordinary, Julius had a lot of luck last night, but now he didn't see any scars on his body. In contrast to Romeona's more cautious way of fighting, he behaved like a wild beast without any scruples, rushing between the men and scattering all the horse thieves who were still in a bit of formation and queue. He would do this, presumably to take some of the pressure off Romiona - but that wasn't what Romiona wanted.
But since Julius did this, it was really not good for Romeo to accuse him of being "nosy"? she was not a fool to say such unreasonable things. At least Julius was willing to do so, and he didn't seem to have anything to lose, and Romeona had a hard time talking. They are all companions who fight and struggle together, and it may be a bit hurtful to say such things.
When Romeona was entangled in all kinds of things, Lulunaka continued to touch the corpse by herself, as if she was in a lottery, if she touched a more "rich" one, she would naturally be happy, but there were also poor people, so she couldn't help but smack her tongue and kicked the dead man's head, "It's so poor to be a thief, it's better to go home and farm...... No, if you had the blessing and patience to farm, you wouldn't have died in this kind of place, and there would be no one to collect the body, haha. ”
The sight of Lulunaka kicking the dead man's head and rolling on the ground was a little too scary, and the childish smile on her face made Romeo turn her head - although the head was cut off by her, it didn't mean that she liked to see such a horrible image.
Lulunaka searched for a while, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard again in the distance, getting closer and closer. There were three riders on horseback, and judging by their attire, they should not be the companions of those who were lying on the ground. The three riders were spiky-eared elves with dark skin tones and obvious signs of underground origin - probably because they had been active in the sun for a long time, so their skin didn't look too dark. But no matter how you look at it, these three elves are all dark elves.
The elven riders came to Romeona and them, and although they had weapons on their backs, they didn't seem to be planning to pull them out and point at Romeona and the others. Since the other party didn't mean this, Julius naturally wouldn't raise their weapons, and it was not their style to do it first without any reason.
One of the riders dismounted from his horse, and the other two rode around on horseback, presumably counting the number of people lying on the ground, if they could count the man who had been divided into several pieces as one.
Seeing the tragic state of this place, and the way Romeona and Julius were sitting there, they could actually get a rough idea of what was going on. What's more, Julius was still wiping his weapon with a cloth that had been torn from someone.
Although the visitor is not a guest, it seems that he will not be an enemy.
