Because so many people died, it has long been impossible to count who the many evil ghost heads belong to.
Therefore, the demon heads collected from the battlefield were stored together with the nods and consents of each Constructed Knights.
The construct knights were like a group of vegetable farmers who entered the cabbage field, used kitchen knives to cut off the heads of evil spirits, put them into wooden boxes, and then transported them to the temporary camp on the high hill.
Since almost all the war horses were killed, the Constructed Knights were unable to pursue the remaining ghost army.
All the construct knights who can still move will skin the black demon on the battlefield, pick up broken weapons and equipment, relics of companions, etc.
Next, each knighthood is sorting out the personal information of the fallen construct knights, and the captains are responsible for sending their ashes, relics and pensions back to their hometowns.
It was impossible for so many corpses to be left here to rot forever, so they were burned that night.
After the corpses of war horses, evil ghosts, and soldier ants were picked over by the construct knights, they would continue to be searched by the mercenary group, and then they would dig holes and bury them on the spot.
These war horses, devils, and soldier ants are all large in size, and it is a physical job for the soldiers to move them away.
Another thing worth mentioning is that all the ghost-striped soldier ants killed in the battle belong to the private property of Lord Surdak, just like the luggage on each war horse belongs to the knight who owns the war horse.
…
Although it was the West Route Army that took the lead in this battle.
However, the Eastern Route Army also sent a large number of Constructed Knights to participate in the battle, and the losses were also very heavy.
So with one stroke of his pen, Surdak split the black magic crystal obtained from killing the evil spirits on the battlefield into two halves.
Half of it was kept by himself, and the other half was given to the Eastern Route Army Constructed Knights.
But all the demon heads belong to Surdak.
As for the black devil skins on those evil spirits, whoever peels them off will belong to them.
The main reason why Surdak did this was because he saw the extremely exaggerated comparison of the death lists of both sides. There were only fifty-seven Construct Knights killed on his side, while the number of casualties on the Eastern Route Army's side was over a thousand.
It was for this reason that Suldak made a decisive decision to divide the spoils equally to make up for the losses suffered by both sides in this battle.
In fact, Suldak didn't consider one thing. He was invited by Captain Emil Mason to help quell the chaos. Even if he didn't share any of the spoils, he should.
…
As for the reason why there is such a big gap in the number of casualties between the two sides.
The answer is self-evident.
At the beginning of the war, there was nothing unusual, but as the war entered the second half, the ghost-striped soldier ants on the battlefield began to be selective about who they protected.
This is not to say that the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants have reached this level of intelligence, but that their controllers, the young Druyins from the southern part of the Bailin plane, have a choice. They will let the ghost-patterned soldier ants take the initiative to
Rescue the Constructed Knights of the Western Route Army who are in danger.
In addition, another reason is that 1,500 ant cavalry entered the battlefield as a new force in the second half of the game.
Although the ant cavalry suffered heavy losses, their role on the battlefield cannot be ignored. They were the ones who made every effort to rescue the construct knights of the West Route Army from the battlefield in the second half of the battle.
We are also rescuing the wounded from the battlefield, so why not give priority to rescuing our own people?
However, if the giant soldier ants are also counted as Surdak's elite warriors, then Surdak's losses this time are actually not small...
…
Of course, everyone was relieved that the evil ghost army that had broken through the Naroda Fortress was completely defeated this time.
Otherwise, once the vanguard of the evil ghost army breaks into Handanar City, the consequences may be disastrous.
It's good to say that the majestic city cannot be conquered. Once it is conquered, almost a million people gathered outside the city and outside the city will become the food of the evil ghosts. Moreover, the evil ghosts are making so much trouble in the rear area, and Bena's army is destined to be unable to attack.
Conquest of Kornberg County.
It's just that no one realized that the decisive battle would come so early, including the leaders of the Eastern Route Army's Constructed Knights.
This battlefield has long turned into a dark brown color.
The strong smell of blood floated in the air, filling it with a disgusting taste.
The corpses of the evil ghosts, war horses and soldier ants were not burned, but were buried directly in the soil, and the burial was not deep.
In the future, when the body gradually decomposes, a large depression will inevitably form on this land.
However, there is a vast grassland nearby. It is not easy to find enough firewood to burn these corpses, so they can only be buried on the spot.
The people involved in digging the pit were almost all the mercenaries who were waiting and watching at the back.
Because only the mercenary group that participates in cleaning up the battlefield can come in and get a share of the pie after the knights clean up the battlefield.
The first army to arrive on this battlefield was a new regiment of about 3,000 people from Handanar City. They originally wanted to follow the knights to gain more experience, but they didn't expect that they would not be able to fight just after they came out of the battle.
If you don't see it, the battle here is over.
Seeing countless injured construct knights wearing tattered armor lying on the grassy slope behind the high hill, many recruits were so frightened that their legs became weak.
In the eyes of the new recruits, each of these Constructed Knights is a hero in their hearts, a brave man who would not hesitate to fight to the death in order to defend Handanar City.
Just walking in the military camp full of wounded soldiers, the hands holding their sword hilts were shaking slightly, and the more they tried to calm down, the more they shook.
Seeing the Shura field under the high hill, the recruits did not dare to take even half a step forward.
In their hearts, this purple-brown soil has become a land cursed by God.
Although they have little combat experience and no courage to fight, as a group of free labor, they are still very valuable.
And the greatest value they have here is that they can send these injured construct knights back to Handanar City to recuperate.
…
Subsequently, several more constructed knights from the Eastern Route Army arrived here one after another.
Almost all of them came here from the tributaries of the Buruin River further away.
Seeing the tragedy of the battlefield here, seeing so many injured knights, and even more exaggeratedly, all the horses were killed in the battle, and hearing them talk about their experiences a few days ago, many people were shocked.
Some structural knights suddenly wondered whether they could gain more power by blood sacrificing their horses on the battlefield...
At first, some knights seemed unable to accept that the main force of the evil ghost's vanguard was completely annihilated by the Buruin River.
It wasn't until they saw the battlefield covered with dried blood and three huge corpse pits that someone exclaimed:
"That group of evil spirits were defeated by you just like that?"
Later, I also noticed the tragic situation here, with many people dead and even more injured. The victory in this battle was won by everyone's hard work, and no one can doubt it.
And these constructed knights with a strong army did not stay here for long.
Following the direction pointed out by the Constructed Knights, they hurriedly chased and killed the remaining evil ghost army. Some even heard that the evil general leading the team was seriously injured...
…
The fire burning the bodies of the fallen soldiers burned for nearly seven days and nights before the fire was completely extinguished.
Suldak also worked hard for a whole week before he allowed himself to stop.
During this period, he basically never left the tent. He only slept for two hours when he was too tired to open his eyes.
He has already drank seven bottles of the mental potion sent by Lance.
And every time he fell asleep, Aphrodite would stay by his side and sing him a lullaby.
In fact, the most stressful rescue period was just after the battle. Surdak worked almost non-stop to bless all the injured knights with divine blessings to stabilize their injuries before starting the week-long battlefield.
first aid.
Of course, for Surdak, more than five thousand unidentified black magic crystals are not enough to make up for the losses he suffered in this battle.
One thousand giant soldier ants, 800 war horses (300 of which are magic-patterned war horses), and 500 ant cavalry (including soldier ants).
Whether it is the cultivation of giant soldier ants, the life magic pattern that strengthens the magic pattern war horse, or the devil contract of the ant cavalry, these are all very precious things.
So much was lost all at once, and a mere five thousand unidentified black magic crystals would not be enough to make up for the loss.
But... Surdak actually has a second income.
This doesn't mean those thousands of evil ghost heads that are almost rotten.
It's about the secondary recovery of the corpses of ghost-patterned soldier ants who died in battle. The magic cores in the skulls of the soldier ants and the hard armor on their bodies can be sold for money. In addition, there are nearly a thousand giant ghost-patterned soldier ants who died in the battle. These
What do soldier ants have on their bodies? There is a certain chance that complete 'strength and endurance' life magic patterns will appear on their limbs.
The magic pattern of life is the greatest wealth Surdak has gained.
With these magic patterns, he can gradually build the third knight order.
Surdak was sitting in the temporary commander's military tent, holding this battle damage report in his hand, his brows almost knitted together.
Just when he felt a splitting headache, two soft fingers slowly pressed his temples, allowing him to relax at this moment.
"What should we do next? Do we still want to go to Naroda Fortress?"
Aphrodite let Surdak rest his head on her plumpness and asked casually.
Suldak waved his hand: "There is Marquis Edmund Arnold and his 100,000 Eastern Route Army guarding there, why should I go there to join in the fun? After defeating the vanguard of this evil ghost army, I have defeated those
All the evil ghost armies that posed a threat to Handanar City have been eradicated. According to Basil’s investigation over the past week, there are no remaining evil ghost armies on the banks of the Bruin River."
After saying this, he glanced at the door of the command post and saw that no one came in before saying:
"Emil Mason said that there were more than 30,000 evil spirits who broke through the defense line of Naroda Fortress this time. I estimate that this number is a bit conservative and should be over 40,000."
"We are about to wipe out more than 30,000 evil ghost warriors on the front battlefield here. There are also several other evil ghost armies that are followed by the Eastern Route Army's Constructed Knights. Now we don't know how to follow Bu Ruin.
Where did the tributaries of the river go? But there are the Constructed Knights of the Eastern Route Army, these mercenary groups here, and the adventure group in Handanar City. As long as these evil ghosts don't get together, then
That group of demon hunters will definitely eat them up one bite at a time."
"Say we are going back to Moyun Ridge?" Aphrodite blinked.
Suldak nodded and said: "Well, but before that, we have to meet a few lords who own ranches and buy some horses before we can go back. We can't let these construct knights ride giant soldier ants back to Moyun Ridge.
Bar!"
Aphrodite stood behind Surdak and said thoughtfully: "Actually, this is not a bad idea. After all, those ant cavalry are still too weak!"
