The tents on the high hills have been almost evacuated, and a large number of injured construct knights were sent to the central city by the new army of Handanar City, where there is a better environment for treatment and recuperation.
The grass was a mess.
There are hundreds of vultures flying in the sky, and there are many ships transporting supplies along the Buruin River. It seems that they should be transporting supplies to Naroda Fortress.
Marquis Edmund Arnold only made a mistake in his decision-making this time, which allowed more than 40,000 evil ghost warriors to break into Handanar County. No matter how well he did this time, at least for now,
Naroda Fortress is still controlled by the Western Route Army.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops in that fortress. There is no need for horse teams to transport supplies. They can directly take boats down the Buruin River. Merchant ships can enter the dock closest to the Naroda fortress in just five days without stopping day and night.
.
Many Constructed Knights in the Eastern Route Army suffered heavy losses this time, and they also need to return to Handanar County to rest and recuperate.
Whether it is purchasing war horses or repairing magic pattern structures, these high-end services may not be available even in Handanar City.
You know, although Surdak's war horse is a magic pattern war horse that is strengthened by the ancient Bolai horse implanted with the magic pattern of life, the horses required by the construct knights of other lords are almost all pure and precious scale horses.
.
These military horses are strictly controlled in the Green Empire, and it is not easy to buy such high-end war horses.
The mercenary groups following the army have long since dispersed. They have been inquiring about the Eastern Route Army's Constructed Knights. They are probably hunting lone ghost warriors in a large area around the tributaries of the Bouyin River.
On one side of this high hill by the river is a battlefield stained with blood and buried with countless corpses, and on the other side is a mess after the camp was broken up.
Merchants from Handanar City have already come to contact these construct knights, and the construct knights from the Eastern Route Army will sell them the black demon skins they obtained.
No soldier from the West Route Army was willing to sell the captured trophies, not even the black-striped magic skin.
They are more accustomed to handing over these trophies to the Logistics Office. The Black Magic Crystals they captured are used in exchange for merit, and the Black Magic Skins are their private property. The West Route Army Logistics Office will conduct a public auction.
In this way, the battle was so miserable that at the end of the battle it was not clear who owned the loot. The Black Magic Crystal only received a total amount.
But whoever peels off the black devil's skin belongs to him...
There is also the issue of pensions after this war. Suldak may have to shell out a sum of money.
The lord's flag of the West Route Army fluttered in the wind, and 1,135 giant ghost-striped soldier ants were ready to go. Some giant ghost-striped worker ants with broken limbs and legs have now grown pink and tender new limbs on the broken wounds.
It's still very small, curled up against the healed wound.
Those giant ghost-patterned soldier ants with sound limbs and legs have some very thick wolf skin mattresses spread on their backs, because these soldier ants have very hard stinging needle-like protrusions on their backs. Now that the construct knights have no horses, they want to
To return to Moyun Ridge, you have to ride these giant soldier ants.
The ant cavalry are still sorting out the last batch of military tents in the camp. The ordinary ghost-patterned soldier ants not only have to carry the luggage of the ant cavalry, but also the luggage of a group of construct knights. Many ghost-patterned soldier ants have their butts.
It was filled with parcels of all sizes.
Surdak's command post had been demolished, and only a small table with a map was left in front of him.
The leader of the Ant Cavalry ran over and reported to Surdak:
"Report to Commander, the Ant Cavalry Regiment is ready!"
Suldak turned around and glanced at the clear Buruin River, and ordered the leader of the Ant Cavalry Regiment: "Notify Andrew, let's set off!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Not long after the leader of the ant cavalry regiment left, the giant ant troops of the West Route Army began to move.
The wolf knight Tago is at the front of the team. He rides the frost wolf Bonita to lead the way. In this battle, neither Tago nor Bonita suffered any serious injuries. As for minor injuries, they are naturally inevitable. On the battlefield
There were so many evil spirits staring at him.
Andrew and the two-headed ogre Gulitem only suffered minor injuries this time.
Probably because they killed an evil ghost general at the beginning, which made all the evil ghost warriors around them fearful.
However, Surdak could see that these three people had gained something from this battle. Perhaps only this kind of bloody battle could stimulate the deepest potential power in the body.
He felt that Gulitem seemed to have become a little taller, leaving bland rock-like marks on his skin.
Andrew's biggest achievement this time was to cut off the curling blade of his Butcher's Tomahawk. Surdak finally needed to consider replacing him with a decent epic weapon.
The biggest change is in Wolf Knight Tiger.
It is said that only the orcs will grow up after being baptized with blood, and this time Tago seems to have understood the way of fighting. When he was riding Bonita, his cold eyes made Surdak feel uncomfortable when he saw it.
Chill.
After the second turn, every step forward for the strong becomes extremely difficult.
Seeing the group of friends around me growing up desperately...
Surdak couldn't help but knock the shield on the hook, thinking that he would have to work harder.
…
There are also some injured construct knights from the Eastern Route Army at the temporary camp.
They will also take a boat upstream later. The boat is ready, but the trackers responsible for pulling the boat will not arrive until noon.
Almost all of the injured Eastern Route Army construct knights left here waiting for the ship were slightly seriously injured. Returning to Handanar City by ship would be less painful than taking the land route.
Surdak rode past the remaining military camp of the Eastern Route Army and saw many seriously injured construct knights lying on stretchers, basking in the sun on the grass outside the tents.
When they looked at Suldak, many of them had eyes full of respect, gratitude, and of course some other complex emotions...jealousy, reluctance, admiration, and hatred.
The respect for this commander of the West Route Army is not only because he can summon a real dragon, but also because he fought sleeplessly for nearly a week after the war to treat illnesses and save people.
Although for a paladin, it is their priestly duty to shine the holy light to every corner of the world, heal diseases and save people.
But as a commander of the West Route Army, he was able to focus on treating illnesses and saving people without rest after the war. This is extremely valuable.
It is precisely because of Surdak's move that he will at least bring back nearly a thousand seriously injured construct knights from the hands of the God of Death.
As for jealousy itself, it is not clear. The starting point is different, and jealousy will be different. Some people are jealous that Surdak has a red dragon companion, some are jealous of the mysterious alchemist with fairy wings, and some are jealous that he has ghost marks.
Soldier ants, this death-defying army...
And some knights hate him, of course, they still hate him for launching a war here and ending their glorious knight career...
Surdak jumped off his horse, stood on the soft grass, looked at the construct knights lying on stretchers waiting to get on the ship, and stepped forward.
"Everyone...I'm sorry!"
"The brutality of this battle is indeed beyond my judgment. Each of you is a great hero. I know that you will have a long period of recuperation. You can live in Handanar City for a while.
, wait a minute, if you feel any physical discomfort, you can come to me at any time, and my promise to you is that I will do my best to treat you no matter when and where."
Suldak said this to all the wounded soldiers, then mounted his horse again and followed the large troops of the Western Route Army all the way north.
