Of the more than 23,000 goblins, more than 1,000 were disabled and useless to be cured, and they couldn't work, and Canute definitely didn't want them, so he was executed that night.

Hannibal's losses were not light, the eldest group lost only 900 people, and the second group lost nearly 300 people, and only 1,200 people remained! That is to say, only 2,100 of the 3,000 Viking warriors brought by Hannibal remained, and there were many seriously injured and disabled, which were Hannibal's diehards.

And what makes Hannibal almost heartbroken is that he originally planned to leave the cub and specially asked for a male and a female two mammoths, and now the male is dead, after seeing the devastating momentum of the mammoth cavalry group, Hannibal often fantasizes that he can have such an army, and now he is disillusioned, and no one has sprinkled seeds on it, how can he give birth to a little mammoth??

The Anglo warriors have grown from almost 13,000 at the beginning to just over 8,500. Plus the recuperation can make up enough 9000 good!

Hannibal sat on the city wall, listening to Marcus holding a thick notebook on the side to report to Hannibal, after the battle was cleaned up, a total of more than 15,000 spears (for Hannibal they were spears) were activated, 3,000 shields, but most of them were damaged and could only be used as firewood, more than 20,000 short knives (daggers for Hannibal and them), 30,000 short-handled muskets, and 20,000 long-handled muskets! 30 brown bears alive, three catapults destroyed, and two left! 9 ballistae! More than 20,000 sets of various worn-out goblin mini armor are useless!

Hannibal patted his ass: "It is estimated that Knut will not be able to come in a few days, anyway, I have to take care of these guys in the next few days, I can't let them be idle, order them to cut down all the trees within this radius of two hundred miles, I will increase the height of the city wall by two meters, and make the rest into spears!"

"Yes!

"Also, we should go and pick up these goblin lairs one by one and see if there are any surprises?"

The Temple of Odin - is the spokesperson of the god of war - the official residence where the great sacrifices of the past dynasties lived, and it is also the symbol of the god of war, it is located in the most central area of the wasteland, the area is not large, and there are more than 10,000 households living around, it is the most sacred place in the hearts of all orcs, barbarians, and people in this plane.

The two major sects on the mainland - the Holy See that believes in the supreme god and the temple that believes in the god of war, respectively have billions of believers, the difference is that the Holy See is much larger than the Holy See, the Holy See not only has a country completely under its own jurisdiction - the Vatican, but also has no less than a million apologetic troops, a completely obedient to the Pope, the elite of firm faith, and the Holy Temple is much more lonely in comparison, orcs, barbarians (barbarians) for the God of War piety can not be questioned in the slightest, but the various barbarian countries have always been "clerical" and "kingly." "The fight never stopped! From the temple's less than 50,000 apologetic troops and the pitiful small fiefdom, it can be seen that the clerical struggle has been lost!

The unique armed forces of the Holy See are the Holy Knights - the Priests!

The Temple's unique armed force, the Wind Farewell, is the Totem Warrior - the Shaman!

Shamans do not have any attack power, and like the Priest, they can only help the warriors improve their combat effectiveness and heal the wounded, except that they cannot directly attack enemies or heal allies, and must use totems that are inserted around them one by one.

And what exactly is a totem warrior like? What characteristics are there that no one has ever seen before! At present, there are less than 100 totem warriors in the entire temple.

Today is a happy day for the Viking Da Dan Yu - Germain - Macehead, last night, the prince of the building told him that the Turkic princess Aurora, who had just married into the door, was pregnant, haha we are going to hold our grandson, this is not the happiest, the happiest is the day of the annual sacrifice to the god of war.

Da Shan Yu took 30,000 royal court guards, escorted more than 30,000 slaves and 1,000 adult mammoths, and a full ten carts of other tribute, which can be described as a huge march towards the Temple of Odin.

The God of War is a grumpy but unusually fair man, and all of his followers can offer their own tribute to the Temple of Odin for a blessing!

Da Shan Yu has already sacrificed three times, this is the last time he will sacrifice to the God of War! (Every believer of the God of War can sacrifice to the God of War four times in his life) What blessings the specific God of War will send depends on the tribute Da Shan Yu has offered and the piety of the God of War.

The team walked forward less than a kilometer, the huge red and white temple gradually became clear, from the fork in the road in front of a sudden sound of hooves, a team of knights riding the same color of the red war horse and wearing plate armor rushed over, the first knight saw the banner of Da Shan Yu from a distance, and immediately shouted: "Venerable Da Shan Yu, I am ordered by the great sacrifice to escort you to the temple to hold a sacrifice ceremony!"

Both teams greet each other, then dismount and walk the last distance to show their devotion to the god of war.

There were already two rows of young and beautiful girls standing at the entrance of the temple, each tall and full-bodied, and the blood-red high-necked sacrificial robes made them look wild and enchanting, even more charming. Blood red is always the favorite color of the god of war, and these maidens are all priests of the temple, and as the gods increase, the rank will follow the rank of junior shaman, intermediate shaman, senior shaman, and ritual, until they climb to the high priest who is in charge of the entire temple. The god of war favors sexy and beautiful women, so it is an open secret that more than eighty percent of shamans are women.

The Templar Knights stopped at the gate to line up, while Da Shan Yu's team continued to advance, and among the heavily armed royal court guards, Da Shan Yu personally carried two boxes, one large and one small, and wore a beast bone armor that was particularly eye-catching.

Stepping into the temple gate as high as 20 meters, the scene in front of Da Dan suddenly changed, and he was in a vast grassland with lush water and grass in summer. When you look at it, there is no boundary in the field of vision, as if there is no horizon, and the sky seems to be a continuation of the boundless meadow. From the outside, this temple dedicated to the sacrifice of the barbarian nobles only covers an area of about one square kilometer, but inside it is a grassland where no one can accurately measure the area.

In the center of the field of vision, there is an altar that has collapsed most of it, and you can only recall the temple's past prosperity and splendor from the few remaining stone pillars that still need to be looked up to, and half of the still magnificent rock wall. Hundreds of torches were lit in two columns on both sides of the platform.

From the bottom of the altar slowly walked out a woman with a holy and majestic temperament. She wore blood-red robes, a triple crown, and a pale gold scepter in her hand. The robes and crowns are adorned with intricate golden ornaments, revealing a rich and desolate taste. Age looks up to 30.

Da Shan Yu stepped forward and bowed: "The most noble and beautiful Great Sacrifice, the endorsement of the God of War, I extend my highest greetings to you!" Although the Holy Temple was severely suppressed by several barbarian kingdoms in the wasteland, as loyal believers of the God of War, they did not dare to disrespect the Great Sacrifice.

The High Priest smiled and nodded. Her smile is beautiful and gentle, but with an indifference and detachment that does not belong to the world, there is a taste of standing on the top of all beings overlooking the world.

No one remembered the name of the Great Sacrifice for a long time, and she herself had forgotten it, because she was almost 150 years old!

The Great Priest looked at Da Shan Yu and said with a smile, "Lucky boy, I hope your piety will satisfy the Supreme God of War. The ceremony is all ready, and I'll go to the altar and wait for you. When you're ready, you can come to me and start the ceremony. With that, the high priest walked up the stairs of the corrupted and strict zhΓ²ng to the altar.

"Preparation?" Although Da Shan Yu temporarily recalled the process of the previous sacrifice, he forgot what else needed to be prepared in addition to the sacrifice, and stood in place scratching the back of his head with a blank expression.

The high priest had just taken three steps, and when he found that there was no reaction behind him, he turned around and laughed, and said, "Child, it seems that you have a bad memory, and you are a pagan who is the introduction of the sacrifice、、!

Frowning like a big sister next door, showing a gentle smile, the high priest no longer said, with her identity such a vulgar thing is really difficult to say.

About ten seconds later, on the huge sand field outside the main hall,

Thirty thousand Viking guards slowly walked in, each escorting a slave to stand in a neat row of ten people, 3,000 people in each row, 30,000 slaves, and 30,000 royal court guards!

Da Dan Yu was one of the most trusted generals, and after three weeks of back and forth, after determining the number of people, his right hand was raised high!

Rubble!!

、、、、、、

The sound of more than 30,000 sabers unsheathed at the same time was so huge that it even drowned out the sound of the huge bronze bell ten meters high and five meters wide in the temple. 、

More than 30,000 slaves knew what was going to happen to them, some closed their eyes and faced it calmly, some knelt on the ground and shivered, many of them had fainted, and they needed to be straightened by the royal court guards who raised their sabers behind them, so that the bones would not break the blade, and experienced Viking warriors knew it.

The general under Da Dan Yu's command, the corners of his mouth went up, he smiled cruelly, and waved his right hand fiercely!

In an instant, 30,000 heads fell on the playground covered with yellow sand, and the blood spurting from the necks of the slaves stained the entire playground red.

As the heads of 30,000 slaves fell to the ground, the souls left the torsos that had lost their heads, and when they floated away, the bronze bell at the top of the temple shook more and more violently, and the entire temple inexplicably sounded a burst of hysterical shouts of killing, the sound of horses neighing and swords colliding together, the sound of boulders thrown by catapults smashing on the city wall, screams, the friction of sharp weapons cutting flesh and blood, these are all sounds that appear on battlefields of more than one million, the sound is huge, but there is no trace of image display.
