The vanguard set up an additional temporary camp one kilometer downwind of the rest camp, and all the loot collected from Greyhound Village, except for food and supplies, was transported here for sorting and processing.

The booty was quite abundant, more than 400 tons of grain plus nearly 20 tons of cured meat were only a small part of it, and there were cattle and sheep raised by goblins in the pastures outside the village. The specific number of livestock, there is no clear statistics, Xunniao light riding has gone to check and accept, it is estimated that there will be no less than 500 heads.

It has to be said that goblins are orcs who know how to make calculations, and the Ogre Overseers obviously know how to use goblin slaves as well.

There are also materials looted by the orcs in the Greyhound Village, and the most valuable ones are metalwork. After being smelted by kobold blacksmiths, they were transformed into two heavy maces, a pair of Ogre Overseer half-body armor, and a handful of goblin daggers, totaling over 1,100 pounds. The amount of metal is indeed not much, but it is enough to make tens of thousands of bronze arrowheads. For the iron-scarce Eastern Frontier Defense, every arrow and crossbow during the war was precious.

The trophy camp was filled with a bloody stench, and Victor used X-3 to dilute the sense of smell, and almost all the soldiers in the camp wore towels to cover their mouths and noses. Dressed in canvas aprons, they were dismantling the orcs' corpses with the paladins.

"Your Highness, you are here. When a mid-level paladin saw Victor, he dropped the horned dagger in his hand and took the initiative to greet him through the board.

He was one of the few people who didn't tie a towel, his hands and apron were covered in blood, but his face was filled with a smile of joy, and the disgusting smell seemed to have no effect on him. On the bloody board was the corpse of a kobold, the chest cavity had just been cut open, and the heart inside was missing, but there was a barrel on the ground next to the board.

Victor glanced at it, and there were 19 kobold hearts in the bucket, the same boards, the same buckets everywhere.

That's right, the loot camp is dedicated to handling the carcasses of orcs, collecting useful materials.

Just as orcs make humans into reserve food, humans are never polite to orcs. Kobolds and Ferocious Orcs have the heart to make Dragon Vein Elixir, ogre, bear goblins, and ferocious gnolls that can be used as bowstrings for ballistas, and ordinary goblins have no valuable materials on them, but most of the alienated war beasts are not picky eaters. It is said that the Moon Bear War Beasts of the Teutonic Principality can gain greater power by devouring the flesh and blood of ferocious creatures, and even have the opportunity to become a real ferocious Moon Bear. The corpses of ogres, bear goblins, and ferocious orcs fell into the hands of the Moon Bear family, and it was not wasteful at all.

Although the six-legged swiftloids do not have the ability of the moon bear, their appetite is quite amazing. A swiftlocosaurus weighing more than 700 kilograms, consuming an average of 50 pounds of meat per day, almost doubles its appetite during high-intensity combat or marching. The Vanguard's 100 Swiftlocosaurs eat 4.5 tons of meat per day. August called poor all day long, and he was really eaten poor by the Swift Dragon.

Although the supply of the Gambis vanguard army is shared by the Sassan Empire and the Church, the current supply system of the Eastern Defense Line is unable to meet the mobility needs of the Swift Dragon War Beasts. The vanguard army can't wander around the eastern frontier for a few days, so let's take Xunlong back to the supply point to eat meat.

Therefore, the alienated war beast must be fed by war. The church only ensures that the supply points are well stocked, and no matter when the war beasts come back to eat and rest, they must keep track of how much food the war beasts need, how many have died, and finally settle with the reinforcements with gold coins or supplies.

Fortunately, the six-legged swiftloon is not a picky eater, and the carrion is also swallowed. These orcs, and the air-dried meat they make, are enough for the dragon to eat for a while. All the soldiers had to do was break down the valuable materials and try to preserve the flesh of the orcs.

Smoking is a good idea.

Inside the camp, the bonfire was roaring, and the stench of blood mixed with the smell of barbecued meat was disgusting. However, when these disgusting materials are converted into gold coins, they are worth dozens of times more than those food and material loot.

That's why it's called the trophy camp.

People's adaptability is very strong, no matter how disgusting things are, if you see and smell too much, your senses will naturally make habitual adjustments, but the psychological gap will not be so easy to adjust. Although handling prey and corpses was a compulsory subject for squires, a true warrior should enjoy the glory of victory, and it was the job of a servant to clean the battlefield and collect the spoils of war. The vanguard warriors are all the elite of each family, and each of them has at least the status of a vassal. Some were ashamed that they had not been able to fight, the most important of which was Victor's men.

The Paladins also did not participate in the war, and their main task was to protect the safety of the combat priests, and they were willing to do some menial work after the war.

Compared to the Holy Warriors of the Church, the attendants of Silvermoon Manor are too immature.

Victor nodded to the mid-level paladin and ordered, "Gather everyone over." ”

It didn't take long for the soldiers of the booty camp to gather in front of His Highness Randall, and the warriors from the centaur hills stood in the front row.

Without saying a word, Victor pushed the kobold away, picked up the corpse of a raging ogre and threw it on the board, took out the adamantite dagger, and began to decompose. The sharp blade sliced through the ogre's blue-gray skin, revealing the fishy yellow fat, and the white, slender hand reached directly into the foul-smelling chest cavity to remove the huge heart wrapped in fascia. Throw the ogre's heart into the bucket and pick out the tendons and thigh bones instead. His expression was extraordinarily focused, the blade was smooth and natural, with a flowing beauty, as if he was painting and carving, rather than dismembering a filthy ogre, and the tendons were taken out completely, and the thigh bones that were as hard as iron were cleaned, revealing the yellow bone that was as clear as glaze.

He took the bone rod and looked at it carefully for a moment, nodded in satisfaction, and said almost to himself, "The ogre's bones are tougher than fine iron, more elemental than Mithril, and light enough. Leg bones can be made into bone swords, and ribs can be made into bone shields. They are worth ten thousand gold, and they are the glory of showing martial bravery. It is only in orc warfare that we have the opportunity to see numerous bone swords and bone shields, but this is not wealth, nor glory, but only extraordinary weapons and shields to help us survive. ”

"It's not for sale...... Give it to those who can get the most out of their extraordinary performance. ”

Victor smiled at the corners of his mouth, put down his bone stick, and swept his dark golden eyes over Caligula, Charlotte, Brandon, and Klaus, over the Red Wolf, Rogers, and Marcie, over the Rose Knight and the Arcane Warrior, and over everyone present, until they straightened their backs, then put away their inexplicable smiles, and said solemnly:

"It's not important work to break up the loot...... It is a must-have job. When I'm alone, as long as I have the conditions and time, I will also do what you are doing. When you are by my side, in addition to fighting with me, you also have to collect the spoils for me. If someone doesn't like to do this kind of thing, think of it as a grind. Whether you like it or not, high or not, you must do everything possible to help more people survive until this war is won.

"Remember, this is part of the war, and we are in it. ”

"Well said...... But that's my trophy, and your ogre overseer is broken. ”

Roland, who had his hands behind his back, walked over with a grin, and beside him was the tall and cold Gillian. I don't know when it started, but the miserly Miss Chebman became her good friend.

"Go to work. ”

Everyone hula dispersed, each continuing to deal with the orc booty. Victor called out to the breeze, cleaned the blood from his hands, and said lightly, "The Ogre Overseer's bones are still intact. ”

Roland's expression froze, and he glared at Victor angrily. The Void Water Elemental has the lethal properties of freezing, penetrating, and corroding, and her Mithril stabs through the ears of the Raging Ogre into the head, killing her in one blow without damaging the tendons and hearts, which is a perfect kill. Victor's killing of the Ogre Overseers seems to be effortless, but in fact, it cuts the tendons of its body, which is not only wasteful, but also brutal. However, it is an undeniable fact that the quality of the Ogre Overseer's bones is a notch higher than that of the Berserk Ogre Leader.

Gillian's eyes lit up, and she pointed to her nose and asked, "Honey, are the ogre Overseer bones for me?"

The elemental affinity of biomass is generally higher than that of Mithril, and ogres can be called earth elemental affinity monsters, their bones are tough enough, and they are particularly friendly to the void earth element, and the bone sword, bone shield, gauntlet, and leg armor made are very suitable for earth knights. However, with better equipment comes great responsibility, and Victor doesn't want Gillian to fend off the enemy like the Earth Knights. She is currently only a beginner-level silver knight, and her strength is far inferior to the earth knight who resonates with the 36 elemental positions, and she should not bear the responsibility of the earth knight, so naturally she can't get the best equipment.

"...... this. Victor hesitated for a moment and said euphemistically, "Honey, the bone equipment is too ugly to deserve your beauty." ”

Gillian shook her head repeatedly, patted her towering chest, and said, "It's not ugly, I'll polish it beautifully...... I promise. ”

"Promises are useless. Victor shook his head and said bluntly: "The ogre's bone equipment gives priority to the Earth Knights in the vanguard army and the main reinforcements, and if you follow me, you basically don't need these equipment." ”

Amber stared at Victor's face for a moment, and Gillian pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm sorry, dear, but I've decided not to follow you...... I'm going to follow Roland. ”

Gillian's eyes expressed seriousness and nostalgia, and Victor became serious and asked in a deep voice, "You have to think about it." ”

"Yes, I've thought about it very clearly, I'm only going to slow down your hunt for orc powerhouses. Gillian nodded, took Victor's hand, and said softly but firmly, "I have more than 100 family followers, and I can't leave them behind." If we all follow you around hunting orc powerhouses, it won't help much, and it will increase the supply pressure. I will use my sword to win my own glory. ”

Victor tried to persuade Gillian to change his mind, tempting: "If you don't follow me, the ogre Overseer's bones won't be given to you, and if you follow me, maybe there will be better loot." ”

Gillian broke away from Victor's hand, raised her sharp and charming chin, and said angrily: "If you don't give it, you won't give it, anyway, you owe me several courtship gifts." ”

"Baby, my loot for you. Roland smiled like a flower, put his arm around Gillian's bee waist, kissed her on the cheek, and raised an eyebrow at Victor defiantly.

Do you really want to dig into my corner?

The suspicion in Victor's eyes grew, his face was calm, and he asked in a low voice, "Roland, what kind of ecstasy potion did you pour into Gillian?"

Gillian, who has always been arrogant and domineering, actually blushed, shook Roland's arm, walked back in a little panic, and said, "I'll go and see my loot again...... If you die, it's worthless. ”

Her trophies were 8 live dragon-veined kobolds, monsters with a talent for treasure hunting and the ability to find rare minerals and gems, but the Church strictly forbade lords to raise orcs even more than wizards. Because no orc can be healed by the Light, they belong to the evil wisdom of the Lord of Light. But even so, there are still people who secretly use the treasure hunting characteristics of the dragon vein kobold to search for rare ore veins such as Mithril and Adamantite. However, in front of the battle priests and holy warriors, the vanguard army captured the dragon vein kobold had only one end, which was transported to the rear and made into dragon vein potion. A living dragon vein kobold is worth 30 kobold hearts, and can make 10 top-grade dragon vein potions. Jillian grabbed 8 of them, and he could exchange them for 80 places for body remodeling from the church, which is equivalent to 70,000 gold soles, and it is the kind that has no price.

This is how war money is made, but it has to be exchanged for the lives of soldiers.

Victor withdrew his gaze from Jillian's back and frowned, "Gillian, she ......"

"For the sake of her father, she was promoted to the silver rank ahead of schedule and almost died at the hands of Ant-Man...... She was very headstrong, very young, very simple, just like my sister, but she had her own pride. She is the Silver Knight Gillian Chebman. Roland crackled.

Victor smiled dumbly, shook his head, and said, "Sister, you are obviously older than her......

"You're mistaken, I'm younger than her. Roland nodded with a serious expression and said.

Victor glanced at the eldest princess's breastplate and nodded, "Well, you're younger than her." ”

Roland's eyebrows were raised like a sword, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You know a fart! The style of armor is different......

Victor looked at Roland, who was full of anger, in surprise, and asked, "What does it have to do with armor?" I said that you are younger than Gillian, but you are stronger than her. ”

"You...... Bastard!"

"We went to the lake to talk. ”

"I won't show you when you get to the lake. ”

The two of them were arguing as they walked to the shore of the uninhabited lake. Victor was silent for a moment and said, "I'll send you 120 Swiftbird light cavalry." ”

The combat effectiveness of the Swift Bird Light Cavalry has already impressed the officers and men of the Vanguard Army, and most importantly, they are able to drive the intelligent Dust Falcon to reconnoiter the enemy situation in the air, which is equivalent to 120 more pairs of eyes in the sky. Roland's anger subsided, he slammed his breastplate and said happily, "Okay, you want me to shelter Gillian? ”

"She shouldn't have come...... She's too young. Victor sighed, his voice getting deeper.

The generals of the Cambis reinforcements are basically veteran silver knights, with an average age of about 80 years old, and most of them have even reached adulthood with grandchildren. They were mentally prepared to sacrifice, and they all had the belief of breaking through the Elemental Sea barrier. And Gillian is only 32 years old, and she is a big step behind in terms of personal strength and combat experience. As a Silver Knight with an Earth Elemental affinity, her chances of surviving the war are pitiful. But her pride and self-esteem do not allow herself to be a drag on her lover. This is related to her future knightly path, and Victor cannot forcibly interfere. In fact, Gillian made a wise choice, Victor would definitely besiege the Orc King, and instead of being able to help her in battle, she would find herself in an embarrassing situation.

With her, there was danger, and he came forward to place her, and he was criticized again. Gillian didn't want her lover's reputation to be tarnished.

Roland stroked his hair and said with a smile: "Gillian is very picky, I let her be in charge of negotiating with the Sassians about the supply of the Gambis reinforcements...... In this way, are you at ease?"

Victor smiled sideways, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your protection." ”

Roland rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to thank me, thank me with the dust falcon domestication method." ”

Victor spread his hands and smiled, "I can't help it...... It is not very clear in ancient texts that the dust falcon is close to the High Elves and is the combat companion of the High Elves, which cannot be tamed by humans. The Dust Falcon nested and multiplied in Randall's Territory, and it was for my sake that although I brought the Dust Falcon out, if they couldn't feel my breath for a long time, they would either fly back to Randall's lair or fly to my side. ”

"The York family also tried to domesticate the falcon, but ultimately failed. ”

Roland nodded, frowned and asked, "How long can the Swiftbird Light Cavalry control the Dust Falcon?"

"It won't be more than a year. Victor replied.

"A year? This war is definitely more than a year. Roland shook his head in disappointment. Dust Falcon's aerial reconnaissance brings a huge battlefield advantage, and if it can only be used for a year, she thinks it would be a pity.

Victor comforted, "Don't you still have 120 Swift Bird Light Cavalry? They are all sharp-eyed mountain hunters, who have practiced the spirit monkey secret form created by me and Nelson for six years, and can act as the most elite secret method scouts. ”

Roland asked with a smirk, "Are you really willing to give me 120 Swiftbird Hussars?"

"Gillian is right, I'm leading people to hunt orc leaders in the wild, and supply is a big problem. The amount of food that Xunniao eats is not small, and it is a trouble to bring too much. I have three squads of knights with me, and 60 Swiftbird hussars are enough. ”

Victor nodded, and added, "Don't let them stick to Greyhound Village." ”

Greyhound Village is the Vanguard's biggest trophy.

The geographical conditions of the first villages in the Eastern Frontier were excellent, and they were close to the eastern defense line. Greyhound Village is close to the Brown Fortress in the middle of the Eastern Defense Line, only more than 100 kilometers away from the easternmost camp of the Brown Fortress, surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of green wheat that is about to ripen, the building layout of the village refers to the large camp, which can accommodate 1,500 people, the wall as a whole is still intact, the top of the fourteen arrow towers is damaged, repaired, and it will soon be put into use.

The main reinforcements of Cambis were preparing to take over Fort Brown, and it was of strategic and political significance for the vanguard to take Greyhound Village first. Victor and Roland easily did what Barcelius did not, and Patriarch Friedes could logically ask the Barcelius family to cede Fort Brown to defend the northern front.

However, Greyhound Village is not a defensive node of Brown Fortress after all, and if the cavalry troops cannot reach Greyhound Village from the Brown Fortress camp in one day, it will inevitably be besieged by a centaur army. However, if the Greyhound Village is abandoned, the centaur army will also camp in the Greyhound Village to recuperate, because there is a lake nearby. Whether it's from the need to pass on military intelligence or to harass the centaur army, Greyhound Village must be in the hands of the human army. It is inevitable that the defenders of Greyhound Village will be besieged by centaurs, and there is even a danger of total annihilation.

Roland chuckled lightly and said, "The garrison of the eastern border defense line is all in charge of the Sarsang's militia, and we are only responsible for cavalry maneuvering and galloping. Moreover, as long as the perimeter of Greyhound Village is built with arrow towers, horse rejections, trenches, and low walls, I don't think the centaurs can break through the Greyhound stronghold. The Sassan militia rushed to repair a few more sentry camps and connect the defenses of Greyhound Village with Fort Brown, and there would be a salient in the eastern defensive line. The rest of the pioneer villages were built in this way, and the army of centaurs or orcs ran into dozens of salients of the eastern defense line, and they could only march in waves, and they scattered as they walked, or they attacked the salient...... This suits our needs to delay the battle, and the Knights of Radiance and the main army of Sassan take advantage of the situation to attack their supply lines and drag them down alive. ”

Victor had zero experience in military command, and he also felt that Roland's strategic deployment was impeccable, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am in charge of the guerrilla orc powerhouse, and then follow the call of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Roland snorted, very satisfied with Victor's posture, and teased: "Your Wimbledon aunt should bring the news to your Barcelius eldest cousin, and in three days, we will go to meet your eldest cousin and eldest cousin, and take over Brown Fortress by the way." ”

Victor said confidently: "They will give up Fort Brown, and it is in the interests of the Barcelius family." However, we can't get too stiff with Barcelius, after all, they have 40,000 elite cavalry from the Knights of Gripen and the Lord of Sassan. I'm going to give Barcelius a gift, and I hope you'll agree. ”

"What gift?"

"Blue taro potion. ”

"I agree. ”

Roland nodded, turned his gaze to the moonlit lake, and suddenly said, "I have a feeling...... There is no orc king at all. ”

"Huh?" Victor turned his head and asked with deep eyes, "Why do you say that?"

Roland held back for a long time, and shouted angrily: "...... feeling, understand? Feeling is feeling, there is no reason...... Stupid, I can't make sense with you...... I went to sleep. ”

Victor looked at Roland's distant back and raised his voice: "I also think that there is no king of orcs, what do you think makes the centaurs unite?"

Roland turned around and ran back, looked left and right, made sure there was no one around, and said mysteriously, "I feel that Orogar has been resurrected...... I don't even believe me, don't laugh at me!"

Victor was shocked and muttered, "If Orogar is resurrected, then many things make sense...... They deliberately helped the orc slaves to invade the Eastern Frontier and establish an orc entrenchment to contain the Sassan Empire, so that the Sidon centaurs could turn around and conquer the eastern orc tribes. ”

Roland sneered, pointed at Victor and sneered, "You also believe this, how can the legendary Centaur be resurrected? I deliberately tease your ......"

Victor said lightly: "It is impossible for Orogar to be resurrected, it does not mean that there is no second legendary Centaur ......"

"The Sidon Centaur has two legendary centaurs in a row, which is even more outrageous than the resurrection of Orogal...... I don't even dare to think so. Roland pursed his lips, saw Victor's stiff expression, and asked cautiously, "You're not serious, are you?" ”

Victor laughed, "Teasing you...... You actually took it seriously. ”

"Hmph...... It's so fake, I think you're serious. Roland clasped his hands to his chest and said coldly.

Victor laughed dryly, his eyes half-closed, and he said stupidly: "You can see this...... Boring, I went to sleep. ”
