Chapter 162: Fallen Priest, Heavily Attacked? 【4K】
The soldiers were already familiar with cleaning the battlefield, and they quickly got everything done.
The time is not early, Chels and the others have no intention of continuing to hurry, it is important to rest the troops after a big battle, after all, there may be a rebel army around at any time, or recuperate.
Chels chose a camp site, and the victorious team began to set up camp and prepare a limited celebration feast, after all, it was the first victory on the battlefield.
Ryan's troops were stationed on a hill, and although the battle had been on the edge, more than 100 people were killed on the spot and more than 200 were wounded.
For a time, the temporary wounded storage center was overcrowded, and Danya, the "head nurse" handpicked by Lane, shuttled through it with only three field nurses to simply disinfect and bandage their wounds.
At the beginning, they overcame some psychological obstacles, but now they are more proficient, and they deal with the wounds calmly.
The most difficult to overcome is Lilia's side, as she is the only transcendent who can heal her wounds, and all the people who send her are seriously injured.
Some of the intestines fell outside, and they were still steaming. Some of their legs and feet were cut off, and the blood was pouring profusely. Others were cut open in the stomach, and the organs were unabashedly exposed in front of her eyes.
It's just a teenage girl, where has she ever seen this kind of scene, she was scared and trembling at first, but fortunately, Xiyue, who has always shouldered the mission of protecting them, has always been by her side and has always encouraged her, otherwise she may not have crossed this hurdle.
Clearly, the medical team had paid off, and eight of the twelve seriously wounded had been saved thanks to Lilia's tireless efforts.
This cure rate is not low, at least in Ryan's opinion, the medical conditions in his previous life may not be able to achieve this level, he is already extremely satisfied.
Unexpectedly, the little girl blamed herself for this for a night, so that Danya and Xiyue were enlightened for a while.
The light wounded were even more impressive, and under the multiple measures of alcohol, light salt water, alchemical potions, etc., the wounds deteriorated very little, and most of them were able to pick up the sword again.
Seeing such a remarkable effect, Ryan also felt a sense of accomplishment, after all, this is an epoch-making product in this world.
According to his understanding, in the army of this world, although there are military priests, occult mages, etc., their magical secret techniques are all for the service of nobles, as for soldiers, heh, who will care about the life of an inferior person?
Therefore, Ryan's move is very groundbreaking, considering the huge workload of several of them, Ryan plans to select some soldiers in various units for basic training in the future, so as to relieve their pressure......
The soldiers reveled in the camp, while the heads and minds of Chels gathered to study the altar that had been split in half by Ryan.
Although I don't know the specific information about this altar, I can still guess it based on the existing information.
This is one of the most common means of sacrifice for the apostles of the evil gods, and in the beginning, they will use this altar to make a batch of small pills, and there will be no problems at first after being consumed.
But as long as the critical moment comes, as long as someone sacrifices this altar, the person who has taken it before will be squeezed out of the full potential of the body in an instant, and become a walking corpse without thoughts, without pain, and only knowing how to kill.
And because the potential of their bodies is squeezed out, their lives will also become very short, generally not as a last resort, and the rebel leaders do not want to use it, this is a trick to kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 themselves.
This kind of thing is very much in line with the temperament of the cultists, and if it weren't for this trick, they would not have been able to develop this rebellion to this point.
For this thing, everyone present has no good way to deal with it, and the people who are controlled can only fend for themselves, and it is estimated that only their old opponent, the Holy Light Sect, can deal with this aspect.
The next day, Chels's party set out again, accompanied by the coalition of nobles who had survived the battle, and they were supposed to withdraw to rest, but in their current state, if they encountered rebels on the road, they would basically be unable to escape.
So the three nobles combined, and simply took people to mix with Chels and huddle together to keep warm.
As a result, the team that had been reduced by half due to the departure of Viscount James was once again enriched, although it was a remnant army, but its combat power was much more reliable than that of Baron Jin Yanhua.
Following the instructions given from above, they came to the predetermined location, which was already on the edge of the Plains of Terence, near a forest and beside a large river.
This is one of the roads to the main battlefield, and if there are rebels who want to rush to the main battlefield, then there is a good chance that they will take this road, and even if they don't choose this side, there are already people waiting for them on other roads.
It can be said that the area around the main battlefield has long been covered with people and horses of the aristocratic coalition army waiting for the rabbit, and whoever wants to go over has to weigh whether they are qualified enough.
At first, it was relatively calm for a while, and Chels and others cut down trees and set up camp, waiting for their prey to take the bait while grinding in the army.
Chels allocated three hundred people to Ryan's troops, so that the total number of troops did not decrease but increased after the first battle, but the combat effectiveness was not the same.
It is worth mentioning that among these three hundred people, there were two knights, and the nobles to whom they were loyal were killed in battle, and they had no good fruit to eat when they returned, so they had no choice but to turn their allegiances to Ryan......
One day, Ryan and the others were holding a routine military meeting, who expected that it didn't take long for the outside to panic and chaos, and Chels was about to ask, when a knight covered in blood broke in.
The armor on his body was already in tatters, and several arrows were thrust into it, and the blood oozing from the wound had soaked his clothes.
The knight staggered to his knees and said with difficulty: "The grain and grass are under attack...... Please also support ...... quickly"
As soon as the words fell, he collapsed to the ground as if he had been sucked out of the bones of his body, and he had more air out and less air in.
Everyone present was immediately shocked, and hurriedly called someone to rescue them, but the other party was too seriously injured, and they all rushed here to report the news in one breath, and the magician under the command of Chels had already choked his breath before he arrived.
For a while, the atmosphere in the big tent was a little heavy, and the words "heavy attack" hit everyone's hearts like a sledgehammer.
Everyone knows what the baggage represents, if there is no food and grass equipment, they will not be able to complete the tasks assigned by His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and they may not even be able to do it if they are withdrawn.
A shadow appeared in everyone's hearts, and they all turned their eyes to Chels, waiting for him to announce the next order for action.
The situation was urgent, and Chels said crisply: "If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, Baron David Bella would definitely not send someone for help, and there is no room for loss in food and grass, and we must take measures immediately."
But we can't give up on the camp, and ask Baron Jin Yanhua and Baron Ryan to be in charge of garrisoning the camp, if you encounter a small group of rebels, you will eat them, and if you encounter a large army, you will rely on the fortifications to defend and counterattack, waiting for us to return to defense.
In terms of support, I also asked the three barons of Jiangnan Province to go with me, everyone is now one, and if the grain and grass are lost, the consequences are clear to everyone. ”
His sharp gaze swept towards everyone, and his tone was incomprehensible, baggage was the root of life, and he didn't have time to talk to them now.
Everyone said that they had no objection, even if the three barons of Jiangnan Province were only temporary partners with them, they had to agree to Chels's arrangement at this time, because everyone was a grasshopper on a rope.
The troops of all sides immediately moved quickly, and before leaving, Chels found Ryan and said solemnly: "Ray, this attack on the baggage always makes me feel a little uneasy, so I left you to garrison the camp."
Baron Jin Yanhua is unreliable, so this time your pressure will be very high, I will leave you a cavalry team of three hundred people for you to deploy before leaving, and you must guard our retreat. ”
Ryan also had a hunch in his heart, and at their level, the hunch was often very accurate. He nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, this is our retreat, and I will definitely defend it." ”
……
Chels set off with the group, and Ryan watched the group move away from the watchtower, and the feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, making him very uneasy.
At present, there are only more than 2,000 people left under the command of him and Baron Jin Yanhua in the camp, and it can be said that the defensive force is abnormally empty, and if there are rebels who take the opportunity to attack, the consequences are unpredictable.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to make some arrangements in advance, the crystal bomb and the thousand machine crossbow were his killer weapons, but they could not be easily exposed, so he had to work on other places, such as the one who had been following the team and the purpose was unknown.
Commanding Alan to take over the defense of the camp with full authority, Ryan came to a large tent in the middle of nowhere, which was Merlan's residence, and the existence of this suspected great magician could play a role on the battlefield was undoubted, and if she could be persuaded to make a move at a critical moment, Ryan would be much more sure.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
Mei Lan woke up from meditation, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light, after all, it was very taboo for others to disturb her when she was cultivating.
"Please forgive me for my rudeness, but I'm here to get your help." Ryan had a hint of apology on his face, there was no way, and he naturally had to lower his posture a little to find someone to help.
Mei Lan didn't have any special expression on her cold face, she just replied indifferently: "Why should I help you?" ”
Ryan rubbed his teeth, did this woman freeze to death in her last life, so cold.
"I don't think I've neglected you along the way, you eat mine, live in mine, it's reasonable to ask you to make a shot at a critical time, right? Great magicians can't eat and drink for nothing, can they? ”
The last sentence was a little vague, but where could she hide from Mei Lan's ears, she raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't expect Ryan to talk about this, and said after a while: "Heh, what you said makes sense, I will make a shot at a critical time." ”
Ryan was a little dissatisfied, what he could do at one time, he had to do it several times a night.
Just looking at Mei Lan's expression, it was almost impossible for her to loosen her mouth, he gritted his teeth, took out a glittering crystal with a painful face, and said, "Stone Man's life core, how about changing your shot?" ”
Mei Lan's eyes still revealed indifference, and she said lightly: "This thing is useless to me, but I can accept it, and I can change it three times." ”
Ryan's heart was dripping blood, this thing was worth a lot of money, and he was going to find someone to exchange it for a treasure suitable for him to break through the bottleneck, but in this situation, he had to endure the pain of cutting his love.
"Okay, deal, I'll let you know if there's a need." Placing the Life Core on the table aside, Ryan hurried away.
In order to strengthen the defenses, he instructed his soldiers to begin to set up wooden fences in the camp for defense, which could be relied on for defensive warfare if necessary.
Outside the camp, trenches were dug and pointed wooden stakes were buried inside to hold back the enemy infantry. Swing more antlers to block the horse from possible cavalry.
He also concentrated the scouts of the whole army and scattered them in all directions, trying to control the surrounding wind and grass, and he was now outnumbered, and he could not be too careful.
After doing this, the uneasiness in his heart faded a little.
In the face of Ryan's actions, Baron Jin Yanhua has been watching coldly, he has a very prejudice against Ryan, a young man who was lucky enough to be knighted, and now he is actually pointing fingers in front of him, which is really hateful.
"Master, why do you agree to him dispatch the army, and ignore him completely in your capacity." The chief knight beside him said with an unhappy expression.
Baron Jin Yanhua smiled coldly and said: "This camp is not safe now, let him go if he is willing to show off, and when the time comes, it will not be blamed on Ben Jue's head if he loses the camp, you prepare the horses, if you don't do it, we will withdraw, let him stand on top of it." ”
……
Ryan didn't know that Baron Jin Yanhua was already preparing to run away, and even if he knew, he might not care, in his heart, Baron Jin Yanhua and waste were equated.
As night fell, the vision outside the camp narrowed little by little, and the uneasiness in Ryan's heart became more and more condensed......
Not far away, under the hills, a man covered in black robes waved his staff slowly in the bright moonlight, and behind him were dense rebels, a faint aura flowed, and the staff exuded a black light.
Hideous skulls gathered around him, faintly emitting a roar that shocked people's hearts.
"Underworld skeletons, devour their blood, gnaw their souls, and kill as much as you like!"
A total of nine skulls accompanied his command, turning into nine gray mist and wandering past the camp in front of them, and a passing bird was shrouded in a mist, and in an instant it turned into a dry corpse and fell down.
The bonfire in front of the camp suddenly flickered, and a mist swept by, and several soldiers guarding the gate unknowingly turned into dried corpses and fell to the ground.
Ryan's eyes suddenly opened, and he felt the aura of evil......
