"Aren't you going to continue fighting?" Ban asked.
"If you really have the Sword Master status, I won't look down on you with nothing. But you can't do it now. Go back and change to a better weapon, at least don't take the broken one. If you want to die, you can continue to hinder our rescue."
Man, I will not hold back my hands when the time comes. In short, if you dare to provoke with bare hands, you must have the consciousness of bare hands."
The humans were the most excited when they heard that this barbarian who had appeared from nowhere and killed Armida was planning to release her.
But no one made any accusations. A strong person is qualified to be willful, and others can't point out a single mistake. Taking a hundred steps back, even if you are dissatisfied, you can't punish the other party. So why bother to offend the strong person on your own side. For
Provocateur, Midland has no tradition of giving in.
He didn't even say thank you or say anything for the occasion, but left directly and neatly. Before leaving, he took another look at Killer Armida.
He was very sure that the other party was not a barbarian. What it was, it was hard to say. But what was certain was that he instinctively rejected the other party, similar to the kind of rejection he would when encountering a natural enemy.
But it's not fear, and the two sides are not necessarily enemies. But what is the origin of this disgust at first sight, he can't explain. This is also the reason why he will simply leave, because this opponent makes him feel too weird.
After leaving halfway, Killer Armida looked at the confused and angry people around him and asked, "Are you still going to save people?"
Everyone woke up from a dream and rushed to treat their comrades, including Ezio. Some people also fired fireworks into the air, allowing the airships that were off the ground but still had room to land again to collect people.
It's just that everyone seemed quite silent, unable to understand the behavior of this barbarian letting the strong orcs leave. But what should be done was still done, and everyone still remembered this mission.
The sacrificed comrades must bring back their relics, and those who are still alive must rescue them and leave. If the person to be rescued dies, it depends on whether he has any relatives to deal with the funeral. Otherwise, no one will accept the relics.
As for the corpse, a big pit was dug and buried together. There is no tradition in Midi that attaches great importance to the body of the deceased, because even if the monster with a sharp nose is separated by several layers of copper coffins, it will dig out the food just because it is hungry.
Those who have the conditions are buried in guarded family cemeteries, or cemeteries guarded by certain churches. If there are no conditions, then the funeral arrangements can be said to be quite casual; or they can be burned or directly cremated.
After all, if you take it too seriously and keep the body too intact, it will easily become the material for the necromancer. This is even worse from some perspectives.
The most troublesome ones are those who are only injured but not dead. If they are rescued, they may not be able to be saved. If they are not rescued, it will be too inhumane. You must know that everyone knows that they came out this time, and they also shouldered the task of political propaganda.
Don't think it's too troublesome to save people, so kill them all to shirk responsibility by pretending that no one can be saved. This kind of thing was often done by people in the lost land in the past.
Especially in the eyes of the nobles, are ordinary people considered human beings? The nobles themselves are aware of the lack of human resources, so they are still afraid of executing some ordinary people. Or are they wasting precious medical resources on inferior people?
Today, although the new school of doctors who combine the undead and life has emerged, it has not yet become truly popular. It is even less likely that the views of the aristocrats will change so quickly.
But we can't live like this at the moment and rely on this mission to boost morale. If there is a large-scale scandal, then it is really better not to save it than to save it.
The final approach is to save minor injuries and delay serious injuries. Anyway, there is still room in the airship, so let everyone come up. If you don't make it back alive, it's just a life. Don't look at the sergeants who come to save people, they will also die.
He is disabled. It’s not that they won’t save him, but that he can’t be saved on site.
After the orcs left, the surrounding orc army seemed to have received the news and withdrew. If it was a normal battle, the human side should catch up and completely hurt the enemy.
But this is an abnormal situation. Besides, if the enemies gather together and retreat in an orderly manner, this is simply the best bait for the airship.
But the enemy is like a tree falling and the hozen is scattered, fleeing in all directions. No matter which direction you pursue, you must have mosquitoes.
The old general of the Haider Empire simply issued a rally signal and stopped sending fully loaded airships to pursue them.
When everyone in the prisoner camp had boarded the airship, and the sergeants responsible for rescue and security on the ground had almost all returned to the airship, only the one who had done nothing but kill Armida had not yet boarded.
Before Haider's last airship lifted off the ground, someone called the barbarian to board the ship, but he shook his head and refused. The sergeant guarding the hatch said in surprise: "Sir, you don't know that this is a demon."
Let’s occupy the area.”
"So what, who can hurt me?" Killer Armida grinned heartlessly. The sergeant who asked him was speechless on the spot.
"You go, don't worry about me. This is the best hunting ground, as long as you don't disturb me."
Sergeant Haider was speechless. In the end, he could only salute and said, "Then I wish you a triumphant return." Then he closed the hatch and the airship took off from the ground.
It wasn't until the airship completely disappeared from sight that Armida, who was standing on the ground, turned around and left. But instead of walking away, he suddenly disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
Of course no one saw this scene. In fact, there has never been such a person in this world.
In other battlefields, the team was not as unlucky as Ezio's team. The airship's overwhelming combat power and speed were an insurmountable presence for the demon and orc armies for a while.
In fact, the airship army has such advantages no matter where it is and who its opponent is. The reason why it cannot become the mainstream of war in the Lost World is because the airship army is a high-tech branch, and the cost and maintenance are beyond the reach of ordinary countries.
load.
To be honest, those non-mainstream commercial airships are no different from flying into the sky with explosives, or they will fall down at any time. If I don't have the courage, I really don't dare to ride on this coffin-like thing.
In short, the number of airships is the biggest reason why it is difficult to form an army. In the entire Mystery, only the wealthy Haider Empire can afford such an expensive unit. In fact, the operating mode of the airship army of the Haider Empire has not been disclosed to the outside world.
It is revealed that it is not fully protected by the empire as most people imagine. The secrets are difficult for outsiders to know.
In short, using such a proud force to fight against the orcs is just like using airplanes and cannons to fight against primitive people.
But another important factor is that the only ones surrounding humans or capturing humans are orcs. Basically, demons have no need for food, and of course they will not do such thankless things. Demon sacrifices are all done on the spot.
, I won’t pick a good and auspicious day.
Therefore, the rescue operations in various places can be said to be quite smooth. The biggest damage is the worrying situation mentioned before. This area, which is completely isolated from the outside world, has developed some unique rules.
In order to deal with these leaders who regarded themselves as mountain kings, the sergeants who conducted the rescue operation fought against each other. However, these people were just thieves who took advantage of the situation and were certainly no match for the airship troops. They were defeated one after another and even killed on the spot.
It can be said that there is only one alien species like the strong beast man and a half. In other words, only one has been seen for the time being.
However, even though previous calculations were based on intelligence, the number of survivors in some human gathering places was still higher than expected, or the airships did not evenly accommodate the number of people accommodated, so some airships were overloaded.
Although there is no so-called safe load in Midland, there is no such thing as overloading. However, these fully loaded airships are more sluggish in operation, which is quite fatal when passing through terrain with strong winds in multiple directions.
The result of this is that all airships will return around the Wind Emperor Mountains instead of risking their way through this cursed mountain range.
There is also another theory, which is to land somewhere and adjust the number of people carried by each boat. However, this opinion was quickly overturned.
Now everyone wants to leave as soon as possible, so there is no reason to extend the stay. Besides, this is an area occupied by demons and orcs, and it is not safe enough to allow the airships to land and adjust the number of crew members.
And the advantage of making the adjustment is that you can enter the dangerous Fengdi Mountain Channel. Is this equivalent to gambling everyone's life again??
one
At first, everyone would choose to cross the Fengdi Mountains because they wanted to gain time and avoid being discovered by the enemy. But now there is no urgency for time, and there is no need to deliberately take this risk.
In addition, all airships have non-combatants on board, and we hope that they will not interfere in emergencies, so why not avoid the possibility of harm from the beginning.
Therefore, the commander in charge of this mission, a veteran general from the Haider Empire, decisively issued instructions to detour.
All airships immediately formed a formation and rose to a height that was difficult for ordinary creatures to reach. This height ensured that everyone could return to the rear safely, except for a few unlucky people.
Just like Ezio's serious injury, the doctor on the Twin Griffin who was educated in an elementary school tried all methods but failed to cure him. He could only drag his life until he returned to the rear base camp. If something unfortunate happened in the process
, then you will only get a regret.
Ezio's situation is not an exception, it is also the norm on the battlefield. Unless you are quite high-profile and wealthy, you can hire a life priest or bishop to perform magic and save lives. But for ordinary people, really
It can only depend on fate.
The old general has no intention of forcibly passing through the Wind Emperor Mountains for these people. They all have doctors stationed on their respective airships to treat serious injuries. If they can't survive this, it can only be attributed to bad luck. But there is also a chance.
live.
Although there is a chance of passing through the cursed Wind Emperor Mountains, if one mistake is made, the entire airship will be destroyed.
Comparing the two, it is self-evident which choice a normal person would make. Simply put, the value of the former is not high enough to gamble with the latter, whether it is for Ezio or any rescue.
The team is the same as the injured human beings waiting to be rescued.
