Despite the help of the Magician Bomb Group and the Red Dragon Yinser, this battle was still very difficult.
Countless war horses fell on the battlefield, and some construct knights were also entangled with the evil ghost warriors. They looked strange when they died.
The blades of the long swords in the hands of many knights were broken into countless small holes, and the precious armors they wore were also scratched with countless holes. I don't know how the inscription masters were able to repair the inscriptions on such tattered armors.
Even Surdak never thought that the fighting will of this group of evil ghost vanguards would be so tenacious, and they looked like they would never retreat.
However, the battle has already reached this moment. If you retreat, you will have nothing. If you advance, you will at least be able to give a generous pension to the fallen construct knights. Therefore, no one from the East Route Army or the West Route Army said to retreat.
At first, everyone followed behind the soldier ants and charged. Later, too many giant soldier ants died, and the knights took advantage of the cavalry to distance themselves and charged in a wave style.
Knowing that the horses of the construct knights had also been killed by the evil spirits, the knights jumped off their horses and fought on foot with their shields raised.
Speaking of the initial battle, Surdak's Western Route Army has a huge advantage, because almost most of these armored knights are converted from heavy armored infantry.
On the grassy slopes of the high hills on the bank of the Bu Ruin River, the corpses of war horses, corpses of evil ghost warriors and corpses of soldier ants almost covered the entire battlefield.
The lightly injured knights spontaneously began to take out the corpses of their companions from the pile of corpses, wrapped them in linen cloth, and placed them in rows on the top of the grassy slope of the high hill.
The mercenary group watching the battle at the back were excited to see the scene at the beginning. Many people behind were simply frightened. There were also some quite spirited ones who followed the ant cavalry to fight on the battlefield. In the end, those who came back alive were almost all covered in blood.
Seeing that the last evil ghost warrior had fallen, the members of the mercenary group cheered up and rushed up to the edge of the battlefield.
At this moment, they looked at the battlefield like a group of red-eyed hyenas staring at carrion.
This was an extremely brutal battle, so cruel that the entire battlefield was littered with corpses.
The blood gathered together showed a strange purple-red color, flowing along the grassland to the bottom of the slope, and finally flowed into the nearby Buruin River, dyeing the water near the north bank a pale red.
…
When the construct knights discovered that the number of ghost warriors on the battlefield was getting smaller and smaller, and a few construct knights began to chase and kill an evil ghost warrior, everyone realized that this battle had finally ushered in a moment of victory.
After the two evil ghost generals injured seven second-level warriors from the Eastern Route Army, they were finally strangled by the furious construct knights of the Eastern Route Army, killing one and seriously injuring the other.
After severely injuring the evil ghost general, he finally managed to break through with more than a thousand evil ghost warriors and escaped northward.
Seeing the evil spirits fleeing wildly into the distance, the knights were unable to pursue them. Only the magician Basil rode on a magic harpoon and chased them.
In this battle, Surdak's Western Route Army also paid a heavy price. Nearly half of the more than two thousand giant soldier ants that rushed to the battlefield were dead, and hundreds of ghost-striped soldier ants were seriously injured.
Many soldier ants had their legs cut off by evil spirits and lost their ability to move.
Fifty-seven of the thousand construct knights who participated in the battle were killed, and nearly 90% of the construct knights were injured.
Surdak's ant cavalry regiment only joined the battle in the second half of the war. Although they served as a new force to fight the tired ghost warriors, they were still as fragile as eggs after entering the battlefield. The ant cavalry warriors
Almost all of them are ordinary warriors who have not been promoted to the first level. The soldier ants are also ordinary ghost-patterned soldier ants. Without the protection of Selina's fog of war, the devil warrior's war blade can easily cut off the limbs of ordinary soldier ants.
The 1,500 ant cavalrymen were saved by Suldak in more than five months. Unexpectedly, nearly 500 ant cavalrymen were killed in this battle.
The war horses with the highest battle damage rate were the Construct Knights. Surdak and the two Construct Knights' war horses lost nearly 800 horses in the battle, and the remaining two hundred magic-patterned war horses were almost covered in blood.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no available war horse, Andrew would never have let the seriously injured evil general escape from the battlefield.
Compared to Surdak's West Route Army, the East Route Army, which assembled nearly 3,500 construct knights this time, suffered even greater losses. Less than 2,500 construct knights survived, and all the war horses were destroyed.
The evil ghost warriors vented their anger and killed them all in a desperate counterattack.
…
At this moment, Surdak is the busiest person here. In fact, he had already withdrawn from the battlefield in the second half of the war and began to treat some construct knights who were seriously injured but not dead.
There are thirty ant cavalry dedicated to carrying these injured knights on the battlefield. Without Nica and her medical team, Surdak's work becomes very arduous.
Some construct knights took off their breastplates only to find that their internal organs had been smashed to pieces. Now they can still breathe, but they are just burning the last bit of life force.
There are also some broken arms and legs of the Construct Knights that fell on the battlefield and could not be picked up. If they could be picked up, Surdak actually had a good chance of helping them pick them back up. However, after being cured in this way, the broken arms and legs were broken.
The arm cannot do heavy work, and the broken leg can no longer run, but at least it can maintain basic mobility.
After rescuing two construct knights with severed limbs, Surdak asked the ant knights again. If the severed limbs were not broken into pieces on the battlefield, then they should pick them up as much as possible.
Of course, if you can’t find it, don’t push too hard.
Because there are too many injured knights that need to be rescued by this group of ant cavalry, we can't just find an arm and let other injured knights lie upright on the battlefield.
These evil ghost heads were sacrificed to bless the 'Blessed Body'. However, after the wounds were cleaned and sutured by Surdak, and then powerfully healed by the Holy Light Technique, no matter how serious the injury was, as long as the blood loss was not too great,
It often leads to severe organ failure, but can basically be saved.
There was just such a lonely tent on the high hill. Even after the treatment of the wounded was completed, they had to be carried out and placed under the awning on the back slope.
The two ant cavalrymen once again defeated each other. Their legs were weak from running, but they felt lucky from the bottom of their hearts to have such a job. Compared to the Shura Field in front of them, this place was simply like a paradise.
He hurriedly brought in a construct knight who was covered in blood and had a bloody hole stabbed in his abdomen. The knight's eyes were vacant and his breath was weak. There was a knight's sword wrapped in a bandage in his right hand, but the sword was broken.
There are still a few bone spurs from the evil warriors on his thighs.
Surdak first checked the Construct Knight's Eye Child and found that the Eye Child had begun to relax. Without saying a word, he used a dagger to cut open the Construct Knight's breastplate. Only then did he find that the abdomen was poked out.
The blood hole in his body was cut into a cross-shaped wound by the evil spirit, and he opened his slightly curled bloody belly. The blood in his abdomen was almost mixed with countless severed intestines, like a pot of slurry.
Surdak closed his eyes and did not provide any more treatment. Instead, he knocked on the bronze bell nearby.
‘Dang Dang’ twice.
The ant cavalry waiting outside immediately brought in an injured knight on a stretcher, and then carried out the knight who could not be treated.
"Wait a moment!"
The two ant riders stopped immediately and looked at Surdak with doubts on their faces.
'You two go and lift... Forget it, Aphrodite, come out, you go and keep an eye outside, and instruct them to untie the injured armor and check the injuries before the wounded are brought in. If they are too seriously injured, let them go.
If you belong to the Knights and take it back, you may still have time to say the last few words...'
Surdak waved his hand and let two more ant riders go out.
A door to the void opened at the innermost side of the treatment tent, and Aphrodite walked out of the door holding a cup of hot coffee.
She handed the coffee to Suldak, whose hands were stained with blood, then raised her loose curly hair and tied it into a bun, put the black robe back on her head, and put on a hat on her face.
Wearing a mithril mask, he opened the curtain and walked out.
"As you command, my master!"
Aphrodite showed a naughty look on her face, smiled at Surdak and said.
Suldak held the coffee cup and drank most of the hot coffee in one gulp.
There seemed to be some psychoactive potion in the coffee, which immediately lifted his spirits.
In response to Aphrodite's recent ridicule, Surdak immediately responded: "Oh, it's not certain who is the master of whom. Now I feel more and more that that magic contract seems to have no binding force on you!
"
"How is that possible! Hehe..."
Aphrodite's black-purple eyes almost squinted when she smiled.
"I've already signed it, why are you thinking so much!"
Surdak turned around and stopped looking at her, so Aphrodite opened the tent and walked out.
Aphrodite under the mask was extremely mysterious and powerful in the eyes of these Western Route Army soldiers. When she walked out of the tent, the soldiers around her all looked at her.
Aphrodite didn't feel any discomfort at all, and walked straight to the two soldiers who were about to carry the stretcher in. She touched the injured construct knight with her delicate green-white fingers and said in a calm tone: "
Open his shoulder armor and let me see the wound..."
After speaking, he turned around and ordered a guard who was standing in front of the tent, "Don't just stand here stupidly. Now go call some people to help. We have to do the most basic wound treatment outside."
When the guard heard Aphrodite's order, his face turned red. He quickly gave Aphrodite a military salute and shouted loudly: "Yes, sir."
After saying that, he ran towards the battlefield.
Almost all the knights and warriors who could still move were cleaning the battlefield at this moment, so the only way to find people was by going to the other side of the battlefield.
Aphrodite folded her hands on her chest and stood proudly at the door of the tent, leading two ant riders to carefully inspect the injured knights who were preparing to treat them.

(By the way, please give me one thing, "I Build the World on the Edge", fantasy genre. This is a new book written by my good brother Jingcheng Langzi for many years. Please support it when you have time. Brother Langzi has written a very wonderful book before.
"Yara's Adventure Notes" is also very interesting. Now that I have finally finished my work around me, the update is stable, but it is also a slow-burning type, so please save it! As a feedback, I will add another chapter in case of illness.)
