Chapter 69: The Rabbit's Revenge (II)

By the time the night of burning fire had finally passed, and the faint morning light appeared in the eastern sky, the 300,000 troops that Emperor Sochar had brought to the city of Itarica were completely gone. And the city of Itarica itself, which was "taken care of" by thermobaric bombs, was almost razed to the ground.

So, when the floating fleet that ended the battle landed on the ground, the headhunter rabbit female warriors of the Chengguan team jumped out of the cabin under the reflection of the morning glow, holding high-carbon manganese steel ****** and carbon fiber spears, and carefully stepped into the battlefield. These violent bunny girls, who were originally full of excitement and looking forward to a bloody fight, were soon disappointed to find that what they still needed to do at this time was really only "picking up corpses......

The vast barracks that lined the Avenues of Appia had now been transformed into a vast graveyard of death, filled with a flurry of ash and a pungent smell of burnt meat, as well as a strange smell of roasted meat. Large swaths of the tent had been scorched, and between the scorched earth and the wreckage, there were all kinds of corpses scattered in all directions: some were charred, some burst from their bodies, some were bleeding, some were just lying there motionless, but they were already cold, and there were all kinds of frightened expressions on their faces.

Between the corpses and char everywhere, you can occasionally see a few living people who are half dead, some of them are scorched alive, lying on the ground and letting out a faint howl that does not resemble a human voice. Some half-sat up with their backs against the broken fence and coughed breathlessly, each cough spurting out large mouthfuls of blood...... Now, about eight hours have passed since last night's carpet bombardment, and those who were not seriously injured and could still move have long since fled far away, or have been killed by bullets from the air. Those who are still alive in the camp are the seriously wounded who are unable to move. Seeing the headhunter rabbit female warriors coming with knives and guns, these people did not have the urge to struggle or roar, but showed a certain expression of relief. The entire barracks is like a purgatory with the end of the world, making people shudder to watch.

In the face of such a cruel and bloody scene, the female headhunter rabbit warriors, who have already experienced a hundred battles and seen all kinds of horror and cruelty, do not feel any gagging, but they also do not feel the joy of victory and the joy of revenge, but have a subtle feeling of emptiness and abruptness.

However, despite the strange mood, the bunny girls continued to raise their spears to "wipe out the remnants of the enemy" and poke those dying enemies to death one by one In view of the Pacific theater during World War II, there were many well-meaning American medics who treated the wounded Japanese soldiers, only to be killed by the wounded Japanese soldiers in the process of rescue. The authorities, who could hardly afford massive casualties these days, said hello before planning the battle: the war convention on Earth was invalid in the Atlas, so they were not prepared to treat a group of seriously wounded enemies, as long as they brought the corpses back to the medical school for hand training. In addition, some of these experienced female warriors also changed their weapons to war hammers at the behest of Queen Tiyure, and then struck the back of the heads of their dying enemies to leave as intact corpses as possible...... Next, according to the practice that had been practiced many times in the "corpse picking exercise" before, the relatively intact corpses were carried out on stretchers and placed in rows on a vacant lot that had been temporarily cleared. Since it was only the beginning of spring, the weather was still very cold, so these fresh corpses were not in danger of rotting maggots for a while.

At the same time, the gunfire in the distance basically stopped, and some of the "air guerrillas" with [Bamboo Dragonfly] on their heads ended the hunt that lasted for most of the night, carrying an automatic rifle with empty bullets, and returned to the destroyed emperor's barracks, and then quickly changed their faces before shooting and killing the enemy from the sky in the night, for them it felt more like playing a shooting game, and it was also the kind of pure target shooting game where the enemy would not fight back, and there was no superfluous emotion except excitement. But when I returned to the ground, I saw so many corpses lying and miserable, charred skulls, splattered brains, messy internal organs and minced flesh...... These guys, who killed for the first time in their lives, immediately and decisively coaxed.

So, while the headhunter rabbit female warriors were silently killing people and carrying corpses, these "Death Reapers" who were still majestic last night were pale and depressed, some even vomited, and some people didn't dare to stay longer, so they rushed back to the cabin of the battleship.

However, the headhunter female warriors did not laugh much at these disgraced colleagues. Because in the previous collective training, they had already learned that the group of otherworlders who fought side by side with them were not veterans, but rookies who had just been recruited, and now it was the first time they experienced a battle and the first time they killed someone, so it was no wonder that they behaved like this When they killed for the first time, they were probably not much better than the newcomers in front of them. But their experience at the moment is something that every qualified soldier has to go through, and only in the midst of blood and killing can they slowly grow into a qualified warrior, a brave warrior who can ignore life...... Provided, of course, if they survive.

Well, judging by the near-zero casualties in Itarica City, it doesn't seem that difficult to do that.

When the chengguan recruits who had just bid farewell to their peaceful life and experienced the feast of their first killing were vomiting and shivering among the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, Wang Qiu, who was wearing the [Superman Suit], also flew down from the flagship, but he turned a blind eye to the wreckage, broken arms, and bloody brains around him.

A few years ago, he had not been pulled into the infinite space by the main god to become a reincarnation, and he had behaved like these rookies, maybe even worse. But today, one brutal and bloody cross-plane adventure after another has already allowed him to train the heart of a qualified warrior.

He was more interested in a few mammoths killed by shrapnel than the disgusting corpses that could be found everywhere.

“…… Hey, I can't imagine that there are still living mammoths on this Falmatt continent! What a pity! They were all killed! If possible, the zoo in the northeast will definitely want to do a few jobs! Well, it doesn't seem to be certain whether they are mammoths by biological definition or not, although they look quite similar......" Staring at the mammoth corpse, Wang Qiu muttered excitedly.

“…… I don't understand what you mean by 'mammoth', but if you want a living mammoth, there are two more over there, Your Excellency. ”

The Queen of the Headhunter Rabbit pursed her lips disappreciatively, raised her clean and bright sword, pointed to a remnant fence not far away, and said, "...... But this big creature is not easy to feed, not only does he eat a lot, but he is also very afraid of heat, and he makes plague at every turn......"

When Wang Qiu heard this, he saw a group of headhunter bunny girls coming from behind the fence with some ragged captives, most of them pig-headed people and goblins chained, mixed with some chocobo birds and a few juvenile mammoths, all of which were cattle and slaves accompanying the army, and were firmly chained when camping, and could not escape even in the face of bombardment. Most of them died in last night's catastrophe, but some survived.

“…… Ah, even if these 'suspected mammoths' are difficult to feed, our zoos and research institutes over there are willing to pay a high price......"

Wang Qiu raised his eyebrows, "...... Also, why didn't I see the Empire's Pterodactyl Knight fly up to meet last night? I originally thought that with this air combat class, even if the Empire couldn't defeat our floating warships, at least someone would try to escape on a dragon, right? ”

“…… Pterosaur? How can they fly in such cold weather and at night? ”

“…… Oh? Pterodactyls are so afraid of the cold? And also...... You seem to know a lot about the habits of pterosaurs? ”

“…… Hey, I was forced out too! When I fought Sochar on the steppe, my tribe was chased by the dragon knights of the Empire. Thanks to the fact that the pterosaur is a desert creature, it is very intolerant to cold, and it has to retreat just in autumn, otherwise it is really possible that it will not survive the last......"

According to Queen Tiyuret, the pterosaurs ridden by the Royal Dragon Knights were not true dragons, did not shoot flames or freezing rays, and were much less combative. The first is that pterosaurs do not have night vision, and flying on them at night is similar to flying an airplane blindfolded; The second is that pterosaurs are very cold-tolerant, like snakes and other reptiles, pterosaurs also have the habit of hibernation, although there is a way to forcibly wake it up with some kind of stimulant drug, but until the last resort, generally no dragon knight is willing to do this, because it will cause extremely serious damage to the pterosaur, and the price of a pterosaur is far more expensive than five mammoths; Third, pterosaurs are not warm-blooded, and unless they are in the hottest summer months, they need a long time of activity, sun and warmth to fly, otherwise they can only jump on the ground.

Although Emperor Sochar did have a small number of pterosaurs and dragon knights in the army brought to Itarica City, the current season has just begun in spring, and the pterosaurs belonging to the imperial dragon knights have not yet finished hibernation, so they can only be packed into large iron cages and carried by heavy carriages or boats. As a result, last night's bombardment was so thunderous that the Imperial soldiers didn't have time to release the pterosaurs out of the cages before they were blown apart, so the few pterosaurs were all burned to ashes in the iron cages, and the dragon knights who slept in the tents were either dead or ran away on foot......

As a result, the headhunter rabbit female warriors cleaned up this battlefield, and only found some "roast dragon meat" in the shape of a flower chicken.

In addition, the headhunter rabbit warrior who tried to find Emperor Sochar in the city finally returned empty-handed, and because too many thermobaric bombs were dropped, the entire Itarica city has been basically razed to the ground, not to mention the neighborhood mansions, even the city walls have collapsed, and the people in the city have either been burned to ashes and charcoal, or buried under layers of earth and stones, crushed into meat sauce and bone residue, at least not human-shaped. Even if you can dig up some rotten flesh from the rubble, you won't be able to identify it...... But it looks like the emperor should be dead, right.

Sochar, the old enemy who once ravaged the Rabbit Grassland and nearly destroyed the Rabbit Clan, has finally died, but Queen Tiuret has no pleasure.

“…… It stands to reason that I should be glad to see this enemy, who had nearly destroyed our tribe, finally died here in disarray. But for some reason, I always felt empty in my heart...... At the end of the day, this revenge isn't on our own, we were actually only spectators last night...... There was no clash of swords, axes and shields, no bloody shouts, only flames and explosions that could not be resisted, this was no longer a war that I could understand. This is your victory, not our headhunter's victory......"

“…… No, it is also your victory. Don't forget, since you married and had children with our citizens, we're a group now, aren't we? Wang Qiu said meaningfully, "...... Our victory is also your victory......"

In this regard, Queen Tiyure seemed to be stunned for a moment before she said with mixed feelings, "...... Well, that's right, we're really already tied together...... However, in addition to the main force of the empire here, there is also a special force coming from the Elbe Domain, I wonder if you are ready? ”

“…… Yes...... Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have already 'warmly' entertained those from the Elbe domain last night......"
