75. Combat power soars
Let's not talk about how Tariq, the future overlord, found a reason for his stealth life, but in short, compared to such a pre-war arrogant, wartime nonsense, and post-war silent commander, the performance of the inspired warriors, or the people of the forest, is actually quite good in comparison.
may also know that the "human design" that the Divine Inspired Warriors have worked hard to maintain over the years, and they also know how evil they have done and how many lives they have killed, so they also know best what will happen if they fall into the hands of the villagers after losing power.
Therefore, among the more than 300 Apocalyptic warriors, except for Tariq alone, none of them chose to surrender with him, whether they fled in all directions by taking advantage of the chaos and darkness of the night, knowing that there was no way to retreat, whether they wanted to fight a bloody way, or even those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Tariq or Ron's back, in short, none of the people of the forest dropped their weapons.
The pursuit and slaughter of these recalcitrant Apocalyptic warriors continued until the end of the second half of the night, and the dawn of the next day came when the sky was just slightly bright, after all, as the saying goes, even 30,000 pigs could not be caught for three days, but after all, they were still people, and it was indeed very difficult to chase if they wanted to escape, and it was indeed very difficult to chase, you must know that there was a deed called the fastest legend of the Gaoliang River in front of it.
So long after dawn, there were still legionnaires escorting and carrying the foresters, who had barely breathed, back to the village of Ustock, and finally imprisoned with Tariq in a pigsty, guarded by the Boar General himself.
The exact number of gains has not been counted until the end of the next day, of course, because the battle line is quite long, but more because everyone in the legion is extremely tired, and it is beyond reproach for anyone to fight to the death.
You must know that even a few of the ten commanders lay down to rest and lay down on the ground to sleep as soon as the battle was over, and the most seriously injured among them was not the most courageous Carl, nor Arthur, who fought until the last moment.
It was John, because John was really worried that the legionnaires would travel lightly in case they failed to complete the strategic goal of annihilating the enemy, so he just took off the protection except for the imperial scale armor, and followed the legionnaires with dozens of pounds of weight.
Although he managed to come back at the last minute, he was so tired that he vomited a mouthful of blood, but John still joined in the chase and did not stop to rest until early in the morning when nothing major had completely subsided.
All this can be seen, so it is indeed reasonable that the work efficiency after the war has dropped significantly.
At noon on the third day, as most of the people were recovering from exhaustion, Ron learned the results of their battle against the forest people based on a summary of all aspects.
There were as many as 100 Apocalyptic warriors who died directly at the hands of legionnaires and strong women and old men, and more than 100 people were seriously injured by rolling logs, or burned by hot feces and couldn't bear the torment and died, and more than half of the remaining 100 people died although the injuries were not serious, but because they did not receive effective treatment in time, the wounds deteriorated and died.
Of course, with the idea of the people of the forest wanting to slaughter the village of Ustok and the concrete actions to put it into practice, even if the legionnaires had the time to spare, spare energy, and rich love far beyond this era, it is estimated that they would not be too concerned about this group of prisoners of war, and they would be very kind if they did not pour them with high-quality horse urine and fresh sashimi of dead rats.
So in other words, there are only more than 20 people alive in this group of Divine Apocalyptic warriors, and among them, except for more than a dozen people who are tied up in the pigsty, the rest of the foresters who are on the run are not to be afraid at all.
In other words, after a night of fierce fighting, the Northern Boar Legion slaughtered more than 300 Apocalyptic Warriors! If the Apocalyptic Warriors also have a compilation, then they have been completely wiped out of a composed Apocalyptic Warriors, and for a long time, the village of Ustok will no longer be bothered by this group of fanatical part-time bandits.
This also means that the forest, which is rich in resources, has since been completely opened to the village of Ustok.
There are also the various strange styles of armor pulled from the corpses of the Apocalyptic Warriors, counting those that can continue to be used after the sewing and repair, enough for the Northern Boar Legion to arm two more centurians, and although most of their weapons are not sophisticated, they are still several times better than the "one-time" spears improvised in the hands of most legionnaires, at least until the weapons promised by Hofho are delivered, they can be held for a while.
"Legion Commander, we're running out of medical stones."
A soldier who was busy caring for the wounded legionnaires approached Ron and asked Ron to give them some more "stones" with wonderful healing effects, which Ron naturally supported strongly, but the shells he collected from the children were not many in the first place, and they had used them once before against the pirates, plus the heavy rain during this time......
To explain it in a simple way that all junior high school students know, this quicklime has a chemical reaction with the moisture in the air to turn into hydrated lime, so now Ron is only left with a small bag of "medical stones", and if he wants to burn more quicklime, he can only wait until the sea thaws after a month or two.
The soldier departed happily with the "medical stone", the effect of which had spread throughout the legion and even in the village, and it was a gift from the gods in an era when human waste was still used as medicine, and most of the soldiers who had died of complications caused by wound infection were saved this time.
And at the mention of this, Ron's expression became strange.
The casualties of the Northern Boar Legion, frankly speaking, were really very low, because the main battlefield of the Legion was in the lumberyard, and the protection of two layers of leather armor per capita there, and even more so the pressure of ten heavily armored soldiers, coupled with the earth-shattering power of 20 iron-clad crossbows, only 15 people died in the whole battle.
And among the fifteen people who died in battle, more than half of them died when they lured the enemy into depth, and in fact, the original said defeat turned into a real escape under the surprise attack of the forest people, otherwise even these people would not have to die.
What will really hurt is that more than half of the soldiers under Karl's command were killed, half were seriously wounded, and even two of their left and right hands were broken, and these soldiers were the most elite in the entire legion.
However, apart from the casualties of the legion, the rest of the casualties were very heart-wrenching, and in order to defend the village where they had grown, more than 30 of the 50 able-bodied women were killed, the rest were also wounded to some extent, and the old men who participated in the battle were not survived.
If it is purely from the perspective of competition or population optimization, exchanging inferior combat power for the enemy's high-end combat power is simply a big profit, but this is not a game after all, everyone has a family relationship that blood is thicker than water, even if there were big or small contradictions before, at this moment, under the premise of a big victory, Ustoke Village is still filled with sadness.
However, it is unbelievable that the total combat power of the Northern Boar Legion has increased more than tenfold after this battle.
The accumulation of several great battles is now enough to complete the upgrade of the legion!
Even the experience gained from this big victory is enough to overflow!
Among the remaining 73 soldiers, the original 21 [Stegia Warriors] were upgraded and strengthened twice in a row to become [Stegia Spearmen].
The Stemia men who have reached this level of strength, physical strength and combat skills have become the main force on which the country depends, they are definitely the decisive force on the battlefield, if they can be appreciated by the boyers and go further, they can become middle and low-level officers, and if they have made enough military achievements, it is not impossible to become a noble family from now on.
They are also the most headache for the former Imperial Legion of the Northern Empire, and when they encounter a quick sword like the Kusette, even if they are defeated, there is nothing to blame, and the Senate will not say anything, after all, they are absolutely crushed in terms of mobility. But these Stegian spearmen are also heavy infantry with shields, and if they play an excessive exchange ratio, they can't get rid of it.
However, this group of Stegian spearmen, who were inferior to the Imperial Legion in all aspects of armor protection, were always able to occupy an absolute advantage in small-scale battles, and only when the number of people reached a certain size did the Imperial Legion rely on high training and organization to dare to say victory.
Relying solely on these 21 Stegian spearmen, it is not impossible for Ron to participate in the war between nations even as a mercenary.
And the legion is far more than these 21 people, and the remaining 52 [Stegia Boar Warriors] have also been promoted two levels in a row to become [Stegia Boar Sergeants].
After Ron's test, he found that these boar sergeants were similar to the combat units in the form of "Jiading", one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, long-pole weapons, throwing, bows and crossbows, all of which had a certain level of proficiency, and horseback riding was much better than simple horse infantry, but after all, they were militia backgrounds at the beginning, and their physical strength was inferior to Sturgia spearmen in all aspects, and they could do everything, but they were not proficient in everything.
It can only be said that as a support class, they have surpassed the others by too much, and the selection criteria for the Stirgia Boar Warriors are also much lower, which means that the inferior horses of the Northern Boar Legion can touch the enemy's medium horses.
And several ten-captains have also improved their abilities, White has become the only cavalry archer in the Imperial Legion of the [Imperial Private Cavalry], Carl has become the [Imperial Elite Pistolmen], and Arthur John has added the word elite to the current [Imperial Mounted Cavalry].
