Chapter 142: Encountering Senior Brother
Many of the sergeants returned to Damo City, and the professional soldiers belonging to the two countries were stationed in special camps under the leadership of their respective leaders, while the surviving freelancers scattered in all directions. These freelancers are not bound by the rules of the military outside of the battlefield, and they only join the war for profit, wealth, or merit.
Locke, like the other freelancers, left the army as soon as he returned to the city. After this war that can be said to be a fiasco, most of these freelancers have nothing to gain except for a few who have gained some merit, and many more have left their lives on the battlefield.
You must know that these freelancers who participated in the war, only a very few strong people fought for merit, and most of them were for the sake of seizing wealth. Once defeated, these freelancers will not only be able to get their collectibles from the deceased, but will also be able to enter the city and loot everything at will.
For those ordinary people, as long as they survive the battle, the wealth they can grab after winning the war can make them eat and drink for a long time, or even a lifetime.
However, the cruel reality made these professionals and ordinary people who freely joined the war know that wealth sometimes needs to be gambled with their lives, and the probability of winning the bet is extremely low.
After this fiasco of war, many freelancers have put out their thoughts of participating in the next big war. Only those who are confident in their own strength, or who want to gamble on everything, still do not change their original intentions.
During the war, Locke also gained several merits by virtue of the number of enemies killed. But Locke didn't care about any of that. Originally, Locke's purpose in joining this war was to obtain the massive corpses left behind after the Great War, including the corpses of those who were strong. However, after a big battle, Locke knew that he had no chance to collect the corpses in front of everyone.
Although he had left the battlefield, along the way, Locke still remembered the large number of corpses scattered on the battlefield. You must know that among these corpses on the battlefield, the proportion of professionals is extremely high. These corpses alone are no less than the corpses collected by Locke who handed over the mission of Mingzun. Especially among these corpses, there are several corpses of seventh-level existence, which are also more attractive to Locke.
After dispersing with the soldiers of Damo City, Locke quietly rushed towards Anyang City again.
With the speed of a Locke seventh-level magician, in just ten minutes, he had already come to the vicinity of the battlefield outside Anyang City again.
At this time, more than an hour has passed since the end of the war, and for such a long time, the property in the corpses on the battlefield has naturally been looted by the soldiers of Anyang City who cleaned the battlefield.
From afar, Locke could still see the civilians of Anyang City who were still scavenging on the battlefield. Although the battlefield had already been cleared by the victorious sergeants, it was unlikely that these sergeants would not have left nothing behind.
You must know that on the battlefield, there are more than 10,000 corpses, either scattered in a messy manner, or a little piled together. No matter how meticulous the sergeants were looting, there were always a lot of belongings missing. And there are some items on the corpse, those sergeants may not look at it, but for the civilians, it is still a good thing.
There were even civilians who did not find their belongings and picked up the clothes worn on the corpses.
The sergeants who died in battle, many of them were professionals, and the clothes they wore were naturally attractive to some civilians.
On the battlefield, from time to time, there will be some civilians, because they have found a piece of clothing or suitable items to wear, and they will laugh and share the harvest with their companions. If someone is lucky enough to find a gold coin, his heart will be even more happy, and he will secretly hide it on his body, not daring to make a noise, for fear of arousing the jealousy and thoughts of his companions.
Finding such a situation, Locke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sneaking into Anyang City, after finding a set of civilian clothes to put on, Locke also rushed to the battlefield like those civilians.
Among the scavengers, none of the civilians noticed that there was a different kind of scavenger.
At this time, although there were no sergeants on the battlefield, there were still a large number of sergeants on the walls on the edge of the battlefield to monitor the battlefield.
However, Locke did not have the idea of collecting corpses in large quantities, and Locke's only purpose in entering the battlefield was the corpses of several high-ranking professionals who had invaded the two countries who had died in the previous war.
People die like lights out, no matter how powerful the aura they can burst out during their lifetime, they will still lie silently on the battlefield after death. Locke wants to find the high-level professionals among the tens of thousands of corpses, but unless he can sense the breath of the corpses, he can't find them instantly, and it will take some time.
Fortunately, Locke is a seventh-level undead lord, and he doesn't need to be investigated by the naked eye, he only needs to release his own spiritual power, and he can always find the corpses of seventh-level powerhouses scattered on the battlefield.
The vitality of the seventh-level powerhouse is strong, and they will only die if they are extremely injured, and the death qi transformed into vitality in the body is far richer than that of those middle and low-level professionals. Of course, the time for these seventh-level powerhouses to die is too short, and the vitality in their bodies has not yet been transformed into death qi. Locke could only judge the physical strength of the corpse by its injuries, so as to find the corpse of a high-ranking professional hidden among the tens of thousands of corpses.
As Locke's spiritual power extended, everything within nearly two kilometers of the surrounding area fell into Locke's mind sense. At this time, the battlefield was full of civilians with low strength, and it was naturally impossible to sense the spiritual power extended by Locke.
From time to time, Locke would flip around, probably the corpse of a high-ranking professional, and Locke behaved almost like any other scavenger.
"How so. More than twenty minutes passed, and Locke searched through all the corpses on the battlefield, but still did not find the corpse of the seventh-level professional he wanted.
"Could it be that the corpses of those seventh-level professionals have been taken away by the soldiers of Anyang City. Locke couldn't help but guess in his heart. During the investigation, Locke also found a lot of corpses of fifth- and sixth-level warriors with strong bodies, but none of them were seventh-level corpses.
The corpses of those fifth- and sixth-level warriors that Locke turned over were all secretly included in the magic bag by Locke who took advantage of the corpses that people were not paying attention to.
After inspecting the battlefield, Locke did not continue to stay on the battlefield, but entered Anyang City.
Although he didn't get the corpse of the seventh-level professional he wanted the most, Locke was not too disappointed.
Because, at this time, Locke had the opportunity to obtain a large number of corpses killed on the battlefield.
At this time, the civilians scavenging on the battlefield were already constantly carrying the corpses. There is no custom of burning corpses in the Loki plane, and Locke has just discovered that these corpses have been transported to a burial place outside Anyang City and buried in a pile.
Locke only had to wait until all the corpses had been moved to the burial place, and when night fell and no one was around, he would be able to put the corpses into the altar space.
Back in Anyang City, Locke opened a room and began to sleep and meditate. Not long ago, Locke devoured several soul fires of the same level in a row, and although his spiritual power increased rapidly, it was also mixed with a lot of soul fire impurities, and he needed to eliminate soul impurities through long-term meditation.
For undead creatures, the soul fire is strong, and it is truly powerful. Although Locke has now obtained several high-level necromancers that he has not mastered, Locke has never been distracted from studying these necromancy, as long as Locke has time now, he will fall into meditation to enhance his mental power.
After half a day's work, Locke woke up from his meditation. After a short period of meditation, the improvement of mental power has no obvious effect. However, because Locke remembered the large number of corpses in the burial place, he did not continue to meditate.
Appearing and wearing a black robe, Locke quickly left Anyang City. After such a long time, the battlefield outside Anyang City has long been cleared.
Although night did not fall, Locke believed that he should have no problem going to the burial place to collect the corpses at this time.
In a short time, Locke arrived near the burial place.
"Well, who is it? In his thoughts, Locke found that in the place where the corpses were buried, there were two black-robed figures who were constantly collecting fresh corpses that had just been moved.
