NOVEL NEXT Chapter 82 The war is over
In the Lumen Nanshan Earth Fortress, Kyle helped Weilin up from a pile of corpses.
"Water, is there any water?"
Licking his chapped lips, Weilin felt a little confused and felt pain all over his body.
Kyle subconsciously wanted to go to the well to get water, but suddenly stopped at the next moment. He pulled out the knife he carried with him, cut the artery, and put his hand close to Verin's mouth.
Feeling the warm "water source", Weilin subconsciously sucked it to relieve his body's hunger and thirst.
After a few minutes, Verin slowly fell asleep.
"You guys come here."
Kyle tore off the strip of cloth, bandaged the wound, and said to several knight attendants not far away.
"grown ups."
Several people dragged their tired bodies to Kyle and said respectfully.
"The Lord is asleep now. You guys can take the Lord back to his room."
"Yes."
As Verin's adjutant, now that the Lord is unconscious, he needs to take on the responsibility of a temporary commander, count casualties, carry out aftermath work, and prevent the monster from coming back.
……
At five o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Weilin slowly woke up from his bed. He felt extremely hungry and wanted to struggle to get up.
"Don't move, lie down first."
The familiar voice made Weilin feel warm. He turned around and saw Flora sitting next to his bed.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
"I'm rushing over here to collect the body for you." Flora scolded with a straight face.
From his aunt's tone, Weilin heard her anger and explained in a low voice: "The situation at that time, as the commander, I must fulfill my obligations."
"Okay, I know, let me handle the rest. This war is about to end. You should take good care of your injuries these days. I will find an opportunity to take you to meet our leader." Flora looked at Weilin's stubbornness. His appearance and tone of voice couldn't help but soften.
"Yes, aunt."
Kyle, who was standing outside the door, found the commander coming out and immediately beat his chest and saluted.
Flora glanced at Kyle, and what he had done had already reached her ears.
"Protect Verin well."
"Sir, this is my mission." Kyle replied firmly.
After Flora left, Kyle entered the room carrying freshly boiled water.
After purification by the priest, the toxins contained in the groundwater have been removed and can be used normally.
"Lord."
Kyle put down the kettle and stepped forward to help Verin up.
"The jackal's hammer almost smashed me into pieces." Verin sat on the bed and said with a smile to Kyle.
"Lord, this time you are famous. Everyone calls you the Son of Frost." Kyle handed a bowl of water to Verin and then reported respectfully.
"Ahem, cough, cough, what a shameful title."
"How about we order this and stop discussing this matter?" Kyle said hurriedly when he saw this.
Weilin waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Forget it, let them go."
"What are the casualties this time?" After resting for a while, Verin handed the bowl to Kyle and asked.
"There were a lot of casualties." Kyle put the bowl aside and replied with some disappointment: "There were 6,431 people before the war, and there were only 2,786 people left after the war. We brought There were two hundred soldiers and twenty knights and knights, and now there are only one hundred and thirty-seven soldiers and sixteen knights and knights left.”
"It is impossible to avoid casualties in war." Verin patted Kyle on the shoulder and consoled him, "Cremate their bodies and take them home after the war is over."
"Yes."
Half a month later, everything was peaceful in the Lumen Nanshan Earth Fortress, and no monsters appeared.
The soldiers of the Defense Force were talking a lot. Some speculated that the frost storm was brought back to the monster army by the half-dragons. Some speculated that the southern battlefield was victorious and the monsters were about to retreat.
……
At the border of Serop, in the monster army camp, the half-dragons once again summoned the leaders of each legion for a meeting.
At the entrance of the camp, two heads were hung high on wooden poles for the passing monster leaders to "appreciate".
If you look carefully, you can see one is the head of a rat wizard, and the other is the head of a half-dragon.
The rat wizard, who completed the soul exchange at the cost of losing an extremely precious witchcraft, was beheaded on the spot when he returned to the camp to report to the half-dragon Nurul.
All the confidants of the half-dragon Nurul knew that their leader had a peculiar ability to tell whether the soul and body matched at a glance.
When he returned to the camp to report to Nurul with a sense of luck, it was the time for the rat wizard to die.
The monster leader who entered the tent looked at the gloomy face of the half-dragon Nurul, and then looked back at the half-dragon head he had just seen. He stood in his position and looked as quiet as a "good baby."
After seeing that all the monster leaders had arrived, the half-dragon Nurul stood up from his seat and announced solemnly: "You legends have orders to stop your troops immediately and begin to retreat, preparing to face human revenge."
"Sir, why is this?" The jackal leader stood up immediately and asked puzzledly.
The other monster leaders looked at the half-dragon Nurul, hoping to get answers.
"Because the Goddess of Life defeated the God of Famine in the outer starry sky, and the previous news that the Goddess of Life was seriously injured in the star realm is all false."
"How could this be?"
"Then what we did before is nothing."
"That is, if I had known earlier, I would have followed the previous seven-step testing policy and tested step by step, and the losses could be minimized. Why should I be so radical and overturn the previously formulated plan."
"The damn Famine Cult, it's all their deception."
"Asshole, my clan has suffered such huge losses. In the end, we won't get anything out of it, and those old guys won't even eat me."
"So many troops have been assembled, but in the end it has been all in vain, and we have to face human retaliation."
"Damn it, I just asked why other clans are not active. It turns out that I am the clown."
The whole camp was in chaos instantly, and the half-dragon Nurul's face became more and more gloomy, and he shouted loudly: "Shut up."
"What the hell..."
The Minotaur leader got angry and was about to confront him when the half-dragon Nurul punched him out of the tent, smashing three wooden towers and injuring and killing many kobolds and goblin soldiers.
For a moment, there was silence.
"After the Tauren legion is destroyed, the rest of the army will evacuate in turn."
"Sir, what should I do with the goblins and kobolds that were recruited?" the lizardman leader stood up and asked cautiously.
"As slaves, make up for your losses."
"Thank you, sir."
In the big tent, all the monster leaders bowed and saluted.
Half a month later, the monster army withdrew, and the battle ended with a tragic victory for the Kingdom of Ilia.
Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers died in this offensive and defensive battle, which severely damaged the vitality of the four border provinces and also caused considerable losses in the three western provinces.
