299 Bitter victory

Anubir just looked at Gandalf, and then looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, and with his long howl, almost all the ice demons and ghouls turned and fled at this moment, and even the bodies of their companions could not be estimated, because they could no longer withstand the irradiation of this white light.

The rout of the Ice Demon may have never happened in the history of Storm Castle, even if it had the help of the Holy See Army before, it was just to send them back to square one. Even the Ice Demon can calmly take away the corpses of the dead every time, instead of running around like now!

Watching the ice demon and the ghoul escape, the faces of everyone on the city wall changed from initial surprise to ecstasy.

Storm Castle is defended! This means that their homeland, their comrades, and their loved ones can all survive safely.

"Stormfort will never fall!"

Hammer roared angrily, and then all the dwarven warriors shouted this common slogan of the Storm Army. It is only after experiencing the crisis of co-existence with Storm Castle that they truly identify with this castle.

Because in this castle, there are also their relatives and friends!

"Stormfort will never fall!"

At the beginning of the sentence, the entire Storm Castle walls resounded with fierce cheers, and everyone vented their joy and excitement after the victory of the war, because they defeated more than 10,000 ice demons and ghouls, which may be unprecedented in the history of Europa.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if this city is guarded by the Holy See Army today, it cannot be better than the Storm Army. Because they don't have their own wives and children and parents behind them, this is not their home!

Duke was also extremely excited at this time, to be honest, he was able to stand on the top of the city wall all the time. There was even a moment when Duke felt a sense of despair as he watched the black fog come over, and he thought that the Storm Army would be destroyed.

But he didn't expect that Gandalf would once again give himself a chance to survive in this desperate situation. Gandalf may never talk about Stormcastle, but his actual actions have been working hard to protect Stormcastle.

It's just that when Duke saw the corpses on the city wall, the smile that had just appeared on his face faded instantly. Although Gandalf later used magic with unknown names to dispel the dark magic of the necromancer, the previous period of shrouding still caused heavy casualties to the storm army above!

Coupled with the casualties in the previous close battle with the Ice Demon, Duke estimates that the casualties of the Second Regiment of the Storm Army and the Dwarven Legion this time should not be less than a thousand.

You must know that the official legion of the Storm Army has only two legions, and the powerful dwarven legion constitutes the main combat system of the Storm Army. As a result, in one night, the Storm Army and the Dwarven Legion were basically disabled.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days, Duke also understands the principle of using soldiers for a while, but when the real casualties are in front of him, he still feels very difficult to accept. After a year of desperate development and constant training, a one-night casualty is almost a restart. There are still many enemies in the future, how can the Storm Army break this stalemate?

Although the Storm Army suffered heavy casualties, the Ice Demons were even more exaggerated, except for the wounded they took away at the end, there were at least thousands of Ice Demon corpses lying on the ground in front of the Storm Castle, not counting those who were not humanoid. Coupled with the thousands of ghoul casualties, it can be said that this time, the Ice Demon has at least more than two thousand casualties in front of Storm Castle.

And there were also the wounded they brought back, many of whom were more troublesome injuries such as gunshots and burns. Although Duke doesn't know if ice demons and ghouls are at the same risk of infection as humans, Duke believes that they definitely don't have the ability to regenerate severed limbs, so the casualties caused by the storm army this time should be more than 3,000!

This is definitely a staggering number, and it is no exaggeration to say that the exploratory attacks of the Ice Demons faced by Storm Castle in the last ten years combined, probably did not reach the three thousand casualties caused to the Ice Demons.

It's just that the victory of this casualty is still not what Duke wants to see.

"Alan, clean up the battlefield and rescue our soldiers first!"

Duke immediately gave orders to Allen, and then the reservists under the city walls rushed up and carried the wounded in the direction of the hospital. At the same time, at this moment, the whole curfew and martial law have been fully lifted, because the casualties of the Storm Army are too many, and the help of all citizens must be mobilized.

And there are still so many corpses outside, even if it has entered the level of late summer and early autumn, the temperature is still relatively high. As long as it is left for one day, it will basically rot. You must know that with the casualties of the Storm Army itself, the corpses outside may be as high as 3,000.

And that's not even counting the casualties on the beach, although the bodies of the 1st Regiment of the Storm Army had been brought back to Stormfort, but they didn't have time to be safe due to the rush of time. And the thousands of corpses left by the Sea Tribes are still placed on the beach.

These corpses are like a time bomb, and if they are not quickly disinfected and buried, they will soon become a source of plague. The great war and the great tribulation will be followed by the great plague, and the source of this phrase is to describe the current situation.

The pit that needs to be dug to bury so many corpses is definitely not a trivial matter, and only by unleashing the entire force of Storm Castle can it be completed in one day. And more importantly, the remains of the Storm Army soldiers need to be placed in the Storm Fort military cemetery, which is not just a matter of digging a pit, but also requires utensils such as coffins and some public sacrifice rituals.

With Duke's order, Alan first arranged for the wounded to be sent down, and Duke also called some nurses, so that the witches were all settled. It can be said that this time Storm Castle was able to hold on, and Hera and her group of witches can be regarded as making a great contribution.

After dealing with the most important things, Duke suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, and the high mental tension for a long time also made him in a very tired state.

But at this time, he happened to see Gandalf sitting alone in the corner of the city wall, you must know that with Gandalf's character, he pays great attention to his appearance and identity as a great magister, and will definitely not find a place to sit down casually like ordinary citizens.

So Duke was very puzzled by this scene, so he walked in the direction of Gandalf, and before he came to Gandalf's side, he saw beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was very tired.
