Chapter 278: Casualties
At the top of the staircase of the city wall, all the slave soldiers were still standing, holding spears and tense their bodies.
Originally, there were fifty people in the spear phalanx of slave soldiers, but only thirty-nine were still standing at this moment, except for the three who were seriously wounded at the beginning, and eight more were killed and wounded under the city walls.
The spear phalanx has its back against the city wall, and there are surviving guards on the left and right sides, so the orcs are all rushing from the front, and the newly wounded slave soldiers are also in the first three rows.
The slave soldiers who had fallen to the ground were all lying quietly in their original positions, and there were more than a dozen broken spears on the ground.
It is precisely because of the impact of the orcs that the spear is broken, and the broken spear means that the attack performance is lost, and the gap in the formation is immediately exposed, and the orcs are breaking into this gap and causing damage to the slave soldiers, but fortunately, the slave soldiers in the rear rows found the situation and filled the loopholes in the phalanx as soon as possible, otherwise the phalanx may be torn apart in the next second.
Seeing the eight slave soldiers lying motionless on the ground, Gervais's heart tightened.
"Could it be that these slave soldiers are all killed, otherwise if they were only wounded, they would have moved and wailed."
Gervais couldn't help but want to speed up his steps to check, but only slightly faster than the speed of his steps, the muscles on both sides of his thighs came from the incomparably sore, and Gervais couldn't help but gasp, and he could only slow down helplessly and rush towards the foot of the city wall.
But at this moment, the manservant of Rose Castle also rushed to the front and began to treat the wounded.
"A few of you, quickly divide a few people to treat those soldiers in the phalanx!"
Seeing that those servants did not enter the phalanx for the first time to check the slave soldiers who fell to the ground, Gervais couldn't help frowning, although it was said that other people's lives are fate, but if it weren't for the slave soldiers tonight, most of the people present would not be alive now, so Gervais shouted slightly eccentricly, at least to check if his soldiers were really out of breath.
When the servants heard Gervais's command, they did not dare to slack off, and immediately separated a few people and ran into the phalanx.
In fact, these servants were not to blame, the wounded guards and servants under the city walls were rolling on the ground in pain and wailing loudly.
The slave soldiers in the phalanx did not make the slightest noise, and of course the servants rescued those who were clearly still alive.
Several servants walked up to the phalanx and began to check, and the next moment they were surprised to find that the fallen slaves were actually alive.
For example, a slave soldier who fell in the front row, his body curled up motionless, but his eyes were open.
Of course, these slave soldiers didn't fall to the ground and pretend to be dead to avoid the battle.
When the servant took a cursory look at his injuries, the slave soldier had his arm broken and a rib in his chest broken.
"Is this still human?"
Glancing at the slave soldier who was still silent, the manservant was in awe, and then quickly summoned a companion and carried the slave soldier to a clean place to the side to begin treatment.
Seeing this scene, Gervais was a little happy in his heart, but also a little indescribable!
Rejoice, of course, because these slave soldiers are still alive.
Then Gervais pondered what brutal methods these slave soldiers had gone through to be trained to be like this.
Screaming and wailing have always been the main theme of the battlefield, and even the modern age of the past life cannot be avoided, after all, the wail of pain or fear is unavoidable by living beings.
But the slave soldiers did.
In this world of cold weapons, the wails of the wounded can sometimes easily irritate some soldiers with poor psychological endurance, and it is easy to cause them to flee and disperse, as long as one person in the infantry phalanx escapes, the consequences are likely to be devastating.
These slave soldiers were wounded and lay on the ground without making a sound, no doubt to prevent such a thing from happening, and Gervais only now understood why the slave soldiers sold by the slave owners were so highly regarded by the nobles that they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy them.
"Don't be wary! The battle is over, everyone rests in place! ”
Gervais finally walked up to the slave soldiers and gave orders to the soldiers who were still holding their spears with expressionless faces.
Fortunately, there weren't many people fighting tonight, and after all the servants in the castle were dispatched, there were more servants here to help.
All the soldiers who fell to the ground were carefully carried to the clean ground by the servants, and several male servants who knew how to heal also began to bandage and treat them.
Gervais watched silently for a while, sighed in his heart, and didn't say anything more.
Life and death are the norm in this world, and although their subordinates are seriously injured, they are much better than those who have no corpses, and the number of guards and servants who were killed by the orcs on the spot on the other side of the wooden house is at least more than three hundred.
Having given an order to Ike to take care of the wounded slave soldiers here and wait for the arrangement of the Rose Castle, Gervais walked towards the sacrificial corpses of the orcs he had killed.
None of the three orc sacrificial mounts escaped Gervais's crit slash, and all of them became the souls of the Mithril longsword.
Since it was the monster he killed, Gervais was still thinking about the monster spar on their body.
Gervais walked over to the nearest orc sacrifice corpse.
This is the corpse of a sheep's horn sacrifice, and the mount under his crotch is a wind and thunder lizard, which can release lightning in its mouth, and when Gervais stepped forward to fight, the wind and thunder lizard released an arc of electricity towards Gervais, but it was narrowly avoided by Gervais, and finally he was hacked to death by Gervais's sword.
Instead of immediately starting to search for the Monster Crystal, Gervais picked up the orc sacrificial staff that had fallen from the side.
When gambling in the gladiatorial arena this morning, Gervais was very interested in the staff in the hands of the Sheep's Horn Sacrifice, but in the end, the Sheep's Horn Sacrifice chose to blow himself up, not to mention the staff, and even the scum was not left for Gervais, and it also blew up Gervais's trophy, that is, the demonic wolf that can attack spiritually.
The staff of this orc sacrifice is not long, that is, more than fifty centimeters, it is very light, the whole is made of wood, the texture on it is clear, it is not ordinary wood at first glance, and at the top of the wooden stick there is a skull made of the head of an unknown creature, and the forehead of the skull is inlaid with a monster spar, but this monster spar has now been broken.
"It's the enhanced inscription and the Monster Crystal again, it seems that these orcs either have their own alchemists, or they have channels to get these things!"
The shattered Monster Crystal was useless, and Gervais looked at the complex patterns around the Monster Crystal and came to a conclusion.
This was the second time he had seen orc weapons with monster crystals and inscriptions, which showed that the place where the orcs were located was no worse than Eurasia in terms of weapon enhancement and manufacturing, and it was likely to be higher.
After checking for a while, and finding nothing else special, Gervais directly threw the damaged staff on the ground, not to mention that this staff cannot be used by humans, and even if it can be used, it has been damaged.
And Gervais is not uncommon, he is now the one who has a purple elf, and there will be a lot of opportunities to encounter orc sacrifices again in the future.
Gervais looked around, and saw that everyone was busy and no one was paying attention to him, so he crouched down next to the head of the Wind Thunder Lizard.
Soon, the Mithril longsword that Gervais was churning in the lizard's head collided with a hard object, and with a slight flick of the sword in Gervais's hand, a transparent chromatic crystal with a little blood stained fell out of the lizard's head.
Gervais was not too dirty, and quickly held the monster spar in his hand, and then wrapped it in the rags that had been prepared long ago.
Next, Gervais did the same, and soon found two monster spars from the corpses of the other two monsters, which were wood attribute and water attribute monster spars.
Satisfied, he put away the monster spar before Gervais walked towards the gate of the inner castle.
If this matter is known to anyone, it is guaranteed to be shocked, and every time you kill a monster, you can get a monster spar, is that a myth?
If this is really the case, then what kind of territory will be developed, it is better to kill two more demonic beasts, and one demonic beast spar can be worth four or five years of taxes for ordinary small nobles after it is sold.
