Chapter 274: It's over
The remnant sun is like blood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the slightly sad sunlight of the western sun, many human soldiers cleaned up the battlefield in batches, mending the seriously injured and still not dead, whether they were humans or elves.
All the corpses were gathered, including the already somewhat stinking human corpses at the back of the camp.
Large-scale corpses that are not properly disposed of can cause a plague, which is a common knowledge written in the training code of the garrison, so even if the body is tired now, these human soldiers will deal with it as quickly as possible.
It is not only the so-called death that is great, but also for the sake of one's own small life.
A large amount of ignition and corpses returned to dust, and the fire continued from night to the next night, and the warm wind blew, driving puffs of green smoke.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to dispose of the corpse, Giggs also asked his soldiers to take the opportunity to adjust their state and recover their strength, and at the same time ordered the officers to count the number of people under his command in the shortest possible time.
When the report was placed on Giggs's desk through Duke, even Giggs, who thought he was hard-hearted and had a rock-solid mental will, couldn't help but gasp after opening it.
When I came, the garrison of an entire division and regiment and the guard of a wing added up to a huge contingent of nearly 8,000 people, but now when we count them, there are less than 3,000 people, and the battle loss rate is nearly 60 percent, and it is the battle damage that has already been declared dead, which is really chilling.
"The entire Sixth Division was basically disabled, and there was not a year or two for this spirit to be replenished. However, also because of this battle to the death, when the new recruits join and reorganize the Sixth Brigade, this army may become a mighty army in the hands of His Majesty. ”
Shaking his head, Giggs didn't speak for a moment, and only spoke after half a sound.
"They are soldiers of the kingdom, and it is really what they should do to shed their blood for the kingdom, not only them, but also you, and me, what we are pursuing, struggling, and working hard is nothing more than five words. ”
"Rise for humanity!"
Giggs got up from behind the desk and walked around the tent for half a circle, Duke consciously followed Giggs half a step behind, bowing his head in wait.
"I just sighed a little, so many soldiers, I also have an impression of many of them, and I have heard the names of some officers, but I didn't expect it~ In a war, so many faces will become memories forever. ”
"In the previous war with humans, our army was indeed invincible among humans, but when we fought against the overlord races on these continents, I realized that we still lacked too much. ”
"The elven army of the Whispering Forest, to put it bluntly, is armed in some places, just like those old human nobles before, but in fact, they are not very strong armies. ”
"And in the face of such a motley army, we have about the same number of troops as them, maybe even more, but we have paid more casualties than them. ”
Duke was also silent, frightened by such a big difference in strength,
As important ministers under Giggs, Duke and Alan both vaguely know a little bit of Giggs's inner thoughts and ambitions, which is enough to prove that the current foundation of the Rising Sun Kingdom is far from enough in Giggs's eyes.
And this time, the development of the elves in the Whispering Forest made some radicals in the army feel enthusiastic, shouting that humans are invincible, but after the battle report is transmitted back this time, it should be able to clear the minds of those guys.
Giggs didn't notice what Duke was thinking, or rather, he was slightly aware but didn't care, and said in a calm voice.
"Although this is based on the long life of the elves and the good policy of all the soldiers, we must also remember that the regular army on the other side is not even fifteen hundred, and our side is a professional soldier with a minimum of two years of training. ”
"But that's okay, you don't have to be discouraged, Duke. Elves have elven advantages, and we humans have our human advantages. ”
"Just like in this battle, we lost most of our brigade, but we only need one to two years to recover the strength of this brigade, and in this time, we will have several more divisions. ”
"And these elves, but need to recuperate for decades, before they can recover the vitality of this tribe, the elves can't afford to lose, and we lose, this is the advantage of our human beings. ”
"Besides, some of our secret weapons haven't been used yet~"
The corners of Giggs's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, this war also gave him a bottom in his heart, and he understood the strength of the enemy and me, which was the most important gain.
"Okay, there's no need to say compliments, order people to monitor the situation in the town opposite, and at the same time send sentinels, don't let these elemental elves run away for me. ”
"I can now announce that the Whispering Forest has been incorporated into the territory of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun!"
Duke couldn't help but exclaim, and when he found out that there was no etiquette, he quickly pleaded guilty to Giggs, but the surprise in his heart was incomparable, what did this mean?
"Let's go down~"
"Yes!"
Leaving the tent, Duke let out a long breath and couldn't help but look back at the tent, but it happened to meet Giggs's dark jade, shining like stars, and quickly lowered his head, and bowed respectfully before hurriedly leaving.
Two days later, after a tentative assault, only to find the town's defenses crumbling, Giggs immediately ordered an all-out attack.
In this way, in less than an hour, the garrison had already entered the center of the town, but the resistance it suffered, although it seemed tragic to the elemental elves, did not make any difference to the overall situation of the garrison.
The elite of the elemental elves ran away, also through the secret passage, which made the moon elves who walked in with the army feel quite speechless.
In this regard, Giggs didn't say much, but just ordered Duke to gather the spies outside, it is good to be able to find it, if it is not found, then which direction of the spies did not come back, it shows the direction of the escape of the elemental elves.
Half a day later, only two spies from the north did not come back, at the signal of Giggs, Duke took two thousand soldiers in pursuit, and after encountering the first wave of laid traps and losing nearly a hundred soldiers, remembering what Giggs had told before, Duke returned directly with the soldiers.
Giggs was not much of a surprise to him.
The commander of the elemental elves is definitely a smart guy, and the gains in chasing down outweigh the losses, and Giggs noticed the direction of the escape and couldn't help but sneer.
"The North, the Forest of the Mist, what a good excuse~" (To be continued.) )
