Chapter 1458 1445. Tragic victory under the setting sun
Although with the help of the magician bombing group and the red dragon Iser, the battle was still very difficult.
Countless war horses fell on the battlefield, and some constructed knights were also entangled with the ghost warriors, and they looked strange when they died.
Many knights had their long swords cracked with countless cracks, and their precious armors were also scratched. I don’t know how those inscription masters can repair such tattered armor inscriptions.
Even Suldak never imagined that the vanguard of this group of evil spirits would have such a tenacious fighting will, completely looking like they would never retreat.
But the battle has already progressed to this moment, retreat means nothing, and advance can at least give a generous pension to the Construct Knights who died in battle, so no one from the East Route Army or the West Route Army said to retreat.
At first, everyone rushed behind the soldier ants. Later, too many giant soldier ants died, and the knights took advantage of the cavalry to open up a distance for a tidal charge.
Knowing that the horses of the costumed knights were also beheaded by the evil spirits, the knights jumped off their horses and raised their shields to fight on foot.
Speaking of the initial battle, Suldak's West Route Army has a huge advantage, because almost half of these constructed knights are transferred from heavy armored infantry.
On the grassy **** of the high hill on the bank of the Buruin River, the corpses of war horses, ghost soldiers, and soldier ants almost covered the entire battlefield.
The slightly injured knights spontaneously began to carry out the corpses of their companions from the pile of corpses, wrapped them in sackcloth, and placed them in rows on the top of the grassy **** of the high hill.
The mercenary group watching the battle at the back was still excited at the beginning of the scene. Many people in the back were simply frightened.
Seeing that the last ghost soldier had also fallen, the members of the mercenary regiment regained their strength 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 tragic battle, so cruel that the entire battlefield was littered with corpses.
The blood gathered together showed a strange purple color, flowing along the grass to the **** below, and finally flowed into the nearby Buruin River, dyeing the river near the north bank light red.
…
When the constructed knights found that the number of ghost warriors on the battlefield was getting smaller and smaller, so few constructed knights started chasing and killing a ghost warrior, everyone realized that the battle was finally ushered in the moment of victory.
After the two ghost generals injured the seven second-rank strong men of the Eastern Route Army, they were finally strangled by the enraged Eastern Route Army's constructed knights. One died in battle and the other was seriously injured.
The evil ghost general who was seriously injured finally managed to break through with more than a thousand evil ghost soldiers and escaped northward.
Seeing the evil spirits fleeing frantically to the distance, the knights were powerless to pursue them, and only the magician Basil chased them up on his magic horn.
In this battle, Suldak's West Route Army also paid a heavy price. Nearly half of the more than 2,000 giant soldier ants that rushed to the battlefield died, and hundreds of ghost-pattern soldier ants were seriously injured. Many soldier ants had their legs cut off by the evil spirits and lost their ability to move.
Fifty-seven of the 1,000 constructed knights who participated in the battle were killed, and nearly 90% of the constructed knights were wounded.
However, Suldak's ant cavalry regiment joined the battle in the second half of the battle. Although they were used as a new force to fight against the tired ghost fighters, they were still as fragile as eggs after entering the battlefield. Almost all of them are ordinary soldiers who haven't been promoted to the first rank. The soldier ants are also ordinary ghost pattern soldier ants. Without the protection of Selina's fog of war, the war blade of the ghost warrior can easily cut off the limbs and legs of ordinary soldier ants.
The 1,500 ant cavalrymen were accumulated by Suldak in the past five months, but he did not expect that nearly 500 ant cavalrymen were killed in this battle.
The battle horses with the highest battle damage rate are still the horses of the Constructed Knights. Nearly 800 horses of the two Constructed Knights Suldak died in battle, and the remaining 200 magic-weave horses are almost covered in blood.
If it wasn't for the fact that there were no horses available, Andrew would definitely not have let the seriously injured ghost general escape from the battlefield like this.
Compared with Suldak's West Route Army, the East Route Army, which had gathered nearly 3,500 constructed knights this time, suffered even more severe damage. Less than 2,500 constructed knights survived, and all their horses were killed. The evil ghost warriors who vented their anger fought back on the verge of death and killed them all.
…
At this moment, Suldak is the busiest person here. In fact, he has already withdrawn from the battlefield in the second half of the battle, and began to treat some seriously injured and surviving constructed knights.
There are thirty ant cavalry dedicated to carrying these wounded knights on the battlefield. Without Nika and her medical team, Suldak's work would become very heavy.
Some constructed knights took off their breastplates only to find that their internal organs had been smashed to pieces, and now they can still breathe, but they are just burning their last bit of vitality.
There are also some broken hands and legs of constructed knights who fell on the battlefield and failed to pick them up. If they could be picked up, Suldak would actually have a great chance to pick them up for him. His arm cannot do heavy work, and this broken leg can no longer run, but at least he can maintain basic mobility.
After rescuing two constructed knights with severed limbs, Suldak asked the ant cavalry again, if the severed limbs were not crushed on the battlefield, they should be retrieved as much as possible.
Of course, if you can't find it, don't force it too much.
The heads of these evil spirits are sacrificed, and they can only bless the "Blessed Body". However, the wounds are cleaned and stitched by Suldak, and they are healed powerfully by the Holy Light. Most of them lead to severe organ failure, which can basically be saved.
There is only such a lonely tent on the high hill. Even after the treatment of the wounded is completed, they have to be carried out and placed under the awning on the back slope.
Two ant cavalry took one again. They were already running weak, but they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts to have such a job. Compared with the Shura field in front of them, this place is like a paradise.
Hastily brought in a costumed knight who was covered in blood and had a blood hole stabbed in his abdomen. The knight's eyes were absent-minded and his breath was weak, and a knight's long sword was wrapped in a bandage on his right hand, but the sword was broken. There are still a few bone spurs from the ghost warrior left on his thigh.
Suldak first checked the Construct Knight's pupils, and found that the pupils had begun to loosen, so he cut open the Construct Knight's breastplate with a dagger without saying a word, only then did he find that the abdomen was poked out The **** hole was wrung out by the evil spirit in a cross-shaped wound, and the slightly curled **** belly was opened. The blood in the abdominal cavity was almost mixed with countless severed intestines, like a pot of paste.
Suldak closed his eyes, did not give any further treatment, but knocked on the bronze bell beside him.
Two beeps of ‘clang clang’.
The ant cavalry who were waiting outside immediately brought in a wounded knight on a stretcher, and then carried out the incurable knight.
"Wait a moment!"
The two ant cavalry immediately stopped and looked at Suldak with doubts.
'You two go carry it again... Forget it, Aphrodite, you come out, you go outside and watch a little bit, and instruct them to remove the armor of the wound before the wounded are sent in, check the injury, and if the injury is too serious, let the subordinate Take the knights back, maybe there is still time to say a few last words...'
Suldak waved his hand and let the two ant cavalry go out again.
A void door was opened on the innermost side of the treatment tent, and Aphrodite walked out of the door with a cup of hot coffee.
She handed the coffee to Suldak whose hands were stained with blood, then bulged the loose curly hair into a ball head, put the black robe on her head again, and put a mask on her face A mithril mask, and then opened the curtain and walked out.
"Obey, my master!"
Aphrodite showed a mischievous look on her face, and said to Suldak with a smile.
Suldak held the coffee cup and drank half of the hot coffee inside.
The coffee seemed to contain spiritual potions, which immediately lifted his spirits.
Regarding Aphrodite's ridicule just now, Suldak immediately responded: "Tch, it is not certain who is the master, and now I feel more and more that the magic contract at the beginning does not seem to have any binding force on you! "
"How is it possible! Hee hee..."
Aphrodite's black and purple pupils almost narrowed with a smile.
"I signed all the papers, why think so much!"
Suldak turned around and stopped looking at her, and Aphrodite opened the tent and went out.
Aphrodite under the mask is extremely mysterious and powerful in the eyes of these soldiers of the West Route Army. She walked out of the tent, and the soldiers all around cast their eyes on her.
Aphrodite didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and went straight to the two warriors who were about to carry the stretcher in, pointed at the wounded knight with a light-white delicate finger, and said in extremely calm tones: " Open his shoulder armor, and I'll look at the wound..."
After speaking, he turned around and told a guard who was standing in front of the tent, "Don't stand here stupidly, now go and call some people to help, we have to do the most basic wound treatment outside,"
When the guard heard Aphrodite's order, his face flushed red. He quickly saluted Aphrodite and shouted, "Yes, my lord."
After speaking, he ran to the battlefield.
Almost all the knights and warriors who can still move are cleaning the battlefield at this moment, so they can only be found by going to the other side of the battlefield.
Aphrodite crossed her arms and stood proudly at the door of the tent, leading two ant cavalry to carefully inspect the wounded knights who were about to treat them.
