Chapter 44
"Leopard Man, what we did before is not over yet!" Demps looked at the battle report in his hand. This time the mercenaries suffered heavy losses. From the beginning of more than 3,000 combatants, now only
More than two thousand people were killed, and the battle losses directly reached one-third. As for the material losses, not to mention the material losses. Originally, the army was supposed to prepare six months of supplies, but after such an attack by the Leopard Men, they originally
Six months of supplies were prepared, but they were only able to last for five and a half months. The losses were so heavy, and something even more worrying for Dempsey still happened.
The casualties in this war were too serious. Many mercenaries no longer wanted to fight anymore and started running back to Shanyue City. He had no way to stop them because the treaty clearly stated that they
It's just up to them to pay for the war and how long it lasts. As long as they think that there is no point in continuing this war or the risk is too high, they have the right to leave on their own. The mercenaries who left voluntarily said so
Let's go, the number of remaining mercenaries is less than a thousand, which makes all Dempsey's previous plans cancelled, and he can only make new plans.
"Deputy Lord Dempsey, do you want to stop the mercenaries from leaving?" An officer looked at some mercenaries who were packing their things. Before they left, they specially took the heads of the leopard men they had killed before and exchanged them for them.
However, this approach made some officers somewhat dissatisfied. They originally planned to use these mercenaries as cannon fodder, but now the cannon fodder is about to leave with an advantage. How can this be done?
"Letting them leave and forcing them to stay will only cause more trouble. If you don't want the Mercenary Kingdom to cause trouble for us, just be honest!" Why doesn't Dempsey want to keep the other party?
What? But the problem is that they can't do it. Don't really think that the mercenary treaty of the Mercenary Kingdom is just for viewing, but that it really works. They can pretend they didn't see the small actions at ordinary times, but if things become big!
They are not afraid of you. You must know that there are a lot of mercenaries in Tianyue Continent. If you look at pure numbers, even those empires are not as good as them, and they are considered to be quite a lot of masters and strong men. Really?
If a fight breaks out, even those empires are unwilling to fight them because there are too many of them. In the mercenary kingdom, there are some large mercenary groups, and their level is no worse than that of the regular field army. If there really is a fight, for
There is no benefit to everyone, so under normal circumstances, no one is willing to offend the mercenary kingdom. Of course, the mercenary kingdom will not take the initiative to stir up trouble. They will only accept their tasks honestly.
"Yes!" The other officers also looked at each other. They suddenly almost forgot that since the mercenaries established their own kingdom, the status of the mercenaries has been significantly improved. In the past, everyone just waved the mercenaries away.
Just come and go. If they are not satisfied, they will send troops to suppress these mercenaries. But with the establishment of the mercenary kingdom, everyone no longer dares to play like this. Why? The reason is that there were three kingdoms before.
To play, they were given the go-ahead, and the territories were all managed by them. However, after the mercenary kingdom solved those three kingdoms, it no longer showed the desire to expand the war, so everyone was relieved.
"Let's go, what happens next has nothing to do with us!" After He Ziwei and Allen packed their things, they took one last look at the military camp, then turned around and walked towards Shanyue City. They are now
We need to go back to Shanyue City to see if there is any other good place to go. As for the subsequent development of this war, what does it have to do with the two mercenaries? Whether Shanyue City wins or is defeated, for
It had no impact on either of them.
"Humans, our previous game has just begun!" The Leopard Royal Family saw the number of human armies decreasing. Of course they were happy. For them, they dispersed the opponent's army and defeated the opponent with just one attack.
Morale, this is of course a good thing for them, but these Leopard Royals don't know at all that they defeated just a group of mercenaries without any organization. For Shanyue City, losing these mercenaries is the biggest
The impact is just the lack of a group of low-priced cannon fodder.
"I haven't felt this relaxed for a long time!" When He Ziwei and Allen were walking on the road, they looked at the various crops grown on the farms on the roadside. They were walking on the path, and there were small paths on both sides of the path.
You can also see many fish moving in streams and small streams. From time to time they swim to the surface of the water, spit out small bubbles, and then return to the bottom of the water.
"Well, I worry every day that I don't know when I will go to the battlefield, and I don't know when my life will be taken away by the Leopards." Allen also agreed with He Ziwei's words, and he just squatted down.
On the edge of the stream, I gently stirred the water surface with my own hands, causing a circle of water splashes.
"War is like this. Without going through the tragedy of war, how would we know that peace does not come easily!" He Ziwei also squatted next to Allen, casually pulled out a piece of grass on the side of the stream, and put it directly in
Biting it in his mouth, He Ziwei felt the slightly bitter taste of the grass juice flowing into his mouth.
"War?" Allen shook the water. He stared at the water. It was still clean at first. Pictures of him and He Ziwei were killing each other on the battlefield. One by one, the leopard men fell on the two of them.
Under the sword, other people also fell under the Leopard Man's paws, and a large amount of blood stained the ground red like rain.
"What are you thinking about?" He Ziwei looked at Allen, whose eyes were in a daze, and he touched him lightly. He suddenly realized that this Allen was really full of emotions. He was killing you to death on the battlefield last night, and he will do it again today.
I'm in the mood to lament the problems of war. I really don't know how his emotions are so rich. He doesn't even have so many ideas. War is just a group of people who have to fight for their own interests or survival.
Just like this time, Shanyue City needs the wood resources in Shanyue to develop, and the Leopard People only rely on Shanyue Forest to survive. Both sides have their own ideas, and no one on either side can say who is right and who is wrong.
Everyone is just living for their own goals.
"Nothing, let's go!" Allen looked at He Ziwei next to him and felt a little embarrassed. He wiped away the bloody pictures in his mind, and then suddenly stood up and covered He Ziwei.
Startled.
"Okay!" He Ziwei spread his hands helplessly. He didn't know what Allen was thinking, but he looked at Allen who was walking forward.
"Hi! Allen! This way to Shanyue City, there's no way for you to go that way!" He Ziwei had to interrupt loudly. Allen was rushing forward because he was going in the wrong direction and there was no one in front of him.
