As the deafening shouts of death gradually faded away, corpses lay scattered on the battlefield on the northern slope of the forest farm in northern Handanar County.
The rotten leaf soil in this forest land is extremely soft. Three Thunder Rhinoceros carrying heavy military supplies slowly walked down the hillside, leaving three huge lines of footprints on the forest road opened by hundreds of lumberjacks in the forest farm. These long footprints
Nearly twenty meters long and over nine meters tall, the Thunder Rhinoceros looks more like a three-masted sailboat on land. Each Thunder Rhinoceros is loaded with various supplies.
These thunder rhinos have four thick thighs. Every time they take a step, their heavy hooves will sink deeply into the soft soil. The footprints are more than one meter in diameter and half a meter deep. They look like they were specially designed to prevent cavalry from charging.
It's like being trapped in a horse trap.
A group of soldiers wearing metal armor followed Zai Lei Rhino. They belonged to the infantry of the Fourth Battalion of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment under Duke Newman. They were withdrawn from the front line a week ago. After a week of repairs, they are currently receiving
The mission is to clean up the battlefield on the north slope.
The credit for cleaning the battlefield was attributed to Baron Sidney, the captain of the Fourth Brigade. If he hadn't been the younger brother of the wife of the infantry commander, this kind of job of cleaning the battlefield would never have fallen to the infantrymen of the Fourth Brigade, who died in battle.
The corpses of the soldiers were uniformly carried to the corpse truck. The armor and weapons on their bodies were all stamped with the steel stamp of the 57th Infantry Regiment and were property registered in the infantry regiment's material list.
These damaged ordnance can be repaired, and those that cannot be repaired can be replaced with new ones at the logistics office. However, when cleaning the battlefield, there is no way to take these equipment as trophies. As for the relics of the dead compatriots, the soldiers cleaning the battlefield will not pocket them unless
They are not mercenaries from the legion headquarters or the private armies of local noble lords.
When the nameplate on the corpse of each fallen soldier is removed, it means that the soldier was officially killed in action. The nameplate will be sent to the soldier's hometown along with his personal belongings and a pension.
The only way for the warriors who clean up the battlefield to gain profit is to loot the belongings of dead enemies on the battlefield.
After the soldiers on the front line kill the enemy, the enemy's head and the most valuable items on the body will be collected by the soldiers on the front line, followed closely by some auxiliary soldiers who will loot the battlefield.
By the time the infantry regiment cleared the battlefield, it was already the third or even fourth round. The benefits that could be gained from the enemy were not many, but a careful search would still yield many valuable items.
The legions that fought against the Hell Ghost Legion on the north slope of the forest farm this time were the Fourth and Seventh Constructed Knights under Duke Newman's command, as well as the 57th Heavy Armor Infantry Regiment and the 59th Heavy Armor Brothers.
In the infantry regiment, Duke Newman gathered nearly a thousand armored knights and nearly 3,000 heavy armored infantry at the edge of this woodland, just to devour this search team of less than 300 evil ghosts.
In the early stage of the battle, under the rain of fine steel arrows fired by the heavy armored infantry captain's archers, three hundred evil ghosts were surrounded by a thousand construct knights. Just as the construct knights adopted wolf pack tactics, they
While eating these evil spirits bit by bit, they did not expect that another evil ghost wandering nearby received the distress signal and rushed over quickly, tearing a hole on the west side of the northern slope of the forest farm, and the remaining evil ghosts took the opportunity to break out.
The Seventh Construct Knights pursued them along the way, leaving hundreds of evil ghost corpses on the road.
…
Several vultures hovered above the blue sky and white clouds, and the soil was mixed with the smell of horse manure.
Surdak was carrying a square shield, a steel ax with an ebony handle hanging on his waist, and a bulging sack on his shoulder. The sack soaked with blood seemed to be very heavy.
Every step he takes leaves a deep footprint in the soft leaf mulch soil of the forest.
Others in the team are carrying the corpses of human soldiers on the battlefield. After the team leader confirms the death of these corpses, experienced veterans will be hastily sorting out the remains and picking up all the severed limbs and arms scattered in other places.
They were pieced together and wrapped in linen cloth into a mummy-like shape. The identity tags and valuable relics of the fallen soldiers were put into linen bags of the same size, tied together with the corpses, and transported back to the camp.
Maybe it was because they had done so much work of cleaning up the battlefield that every veteran's face looked a little numb.
When the veteran Sam wraps the corpse, he will say something like, "You are dust, and you will return to dust after death..." These words are not to comfort the souls of the deceased, but more like comforting themselves.
Surdak was a little tired of hearing this, but his task of cleaning the battlefield was not to deal with these dead human warriors. As the only warrior in the team who mastered skinning skills, Surdak was responsible for collecting the remains of evil spirits on the battlefield.
The bodies that came down.
Although the extremely precious pieces of black-striped demon skin on the heads and chests of these evil spirits were cut off, there are still many valuable materials on these corpses, and these parts need to be processed by warriors like Surdak who are experienced in skinning.
Less than twenty meters away from Surdak lay an evil ghost corpse more than three meters high. The dark purple blood on his body had completely solidified, and the wound left on his neck looked like it had been struck by a mountain axe.
Although the wounds were not neat, there were no more signs of being chopped off. It was obvious that an experienced warrior chopped off the evil spirit's head and took it away.
Suldak held a bloody horn-edged knife in his hand and cut open the cloth armor woven from an unknown material on the evil ghost's corpse, revealing an iron-green shoulder with a palm-sized pattern along the shoulder muscle texture.
The black enhanced magic pattern.
Surdak breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that he was really lucky. He actually harvested five such small black-grained magic skins along the way. He squatted down and carefully used a knife to cut open the skin, which was tougher than rawhide.
The devil's skin only made an inch-long incision, but the horn-sharp knife could no longer cut through it.
Surdak could only pull out the knife, took out a fist-sized whetstone from his pocket and sharpened it twice on the blade, and then cutting the skin became much easier.
There is not much left on the edge of this knife. Every time Surdak sharpens the knife, he will be very careful. He wants to extend the life of this peeling knife. This peeling knife needs to be sent to the blacksmith shop to repair the edge with steel. The camp here
The skills of the blacksmiths nearby were average, and the repair fees charged were very expensive. Surdak prepared his army to return to the town of Handanar and found a small blacksmith shop in the town, so that he could save at least three silver coins.
Surdak's hands were covered with dark purple sticky blood. He put the bloody black-striped demon skin into his pocket and continued to search for other valuable materials on the body of the headless evil ghost. There was a large black mark on his back.
The tattooed devil's skin has been peeled off, but unfortunately the black lines on the evil ghost's buttocks have not been completely formed and have not formed a complete pattern. He sighed softly, and then turned his gaze to the evil ghost's buttocks.
He grabbed one of the evil ghost's corpse's arms with both hands, trying to turn the evil ghost's corpse completely over, so that the evil ghost's chest and abdomen faced the sky.
But the body was too heavy. He could only call to Sam, a veteran who was carrying the body not far away: "Hey, man, come help me quickly. I want to turn this big guy over, maybe his abdomen
There will be a complete black magic pattern..."
Sam's face was covered with brown freckles, and when he smiled, he would show his rotten teeth. He put down the linen roll in his hand, walked over to Suldak and said to Suldak: "Dak, aren't you asleep yet?"
Are you awake? If there were magic marks on the abdomen, this evil ghost wouldn't be lying in the dirt like this."
Although Sam complained to Surdak in a mocking tone, he did not stop walking. He walked straight to the evil ghost's corpse, hugged one of its legs, and helped Surdak turn the evil ghost's body over.
come over.
A large piece of devil's skin was cut off from the evil ghost's chest, and there was blood between the chest and abdomen. Several broken ribs even protruded from the fascia, exuding a disgusting stench. Surdak's eyes were drawn to
Attracted by the evil ghost's corpse, he didn't notice anything strange around him at all.
Sam on the side released the thick thighs of the evil ghost's corpse, pointed at the human being suppressed by the evil ghost on the ground, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, who is this?"
He instinctively stepped forward and reached out to lift the man's face buried in the soil. When he touched the man's stubbled chin, his eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't wait to shout around: "He
It seems like she's still breathing, come quickly, there's someone alive here..."
The soldiers of the second team scattered elsewhere heard Sam's shouts, quickly put down what they were doing, and ran towards this side quickly.
The man had only a faint breath. Everyone stood around the survivor's body and said, "He is not wearing a military uniform. He doesn't seem to be one of ours."
"Then where did he come from?" Another young soldier with a scar on his face said curiously while squatting on the ground.
