Chapter 673. The final result
"Commander Bandak, may I ask you to send a detachment of men from the forces of Dehrim's soldiers to guard the loot in the main city of the Lizardmen along with the remaining troops of the Elven Realm?" Gabr said as he walked over to Bandak's side.
Bandak looked at Gabri head-on, nodded, and said, "Of course." ”
"That's good, I'll have the team of guards assemble in front of the palace in a moment. The Bandak commander also brought Dehrim's soldiers with him. Gabr suggested.
"Well, then I'll send someone to hand over the list of fighters to you later." Bandak replied calmly.
"Judging from my experience working with you this time, the Bandak Commander is indeed very reliable." Gabr praised.
"It's just a good job." Bandak thanked him politely, and then spoke again: "This time I have captured the territory of the lizardmen. What does the Elven Kingdom plan to do with the remaining group of lizardmen? ”
"According to the usual post-war practice, it should be exiled, anyway, they will not be allowed to return to this city." Gabr thought for a moment before responding.
"Hmm." Bandak nodded, not saying anything more.
As far as the present occasion is concerned, it is not appropriate for him to say more. Moreover, the disposal of the elven country can be regarded as very gentle, in the past, there were many countries that fought in all directions, and every time they went to a place, they would choose to slaughter the city murderously. In their eyes, perhaps this is the only way to win a battle once and for all. And even now, there are many countries that will completely wipe out the armies of the defeated countries after winning the war. Prompting it to collapse.
Bandak had never done anything like slaughtering a city before, after all, he would still feel pity when he saw ordinary people who had nothing to do with war or politics.
After settling down the distribution of personnel and materials, except for the sergeant in charge of the garrison, the rest of the people once again embarked on the journey to the country of jackals.
The two nations were not far apart, and after two days and one night, all the warriors arrived at the gates of the gnoll's territory.
Before they could get closer, the gates of the gnolls were opened. From inside rushed out a number of gnolls in armor. After lining up, it was in front of everyone.
This is the most common offensive formation used by the Gnolls.
Just facing more than 10,000 soldiers, this formation did not bring much offensive momentum.
The Gnoll Lord is at the center of the array, living in a race that values strength and explosiveness, and as a leader, he stands out among the Gnolls.
"Rush!" The Gnoll Lord roared, the sound more like the roar of a beast.
The gnoll warrior slammed directly into the shield of the Swadian soldier at the front. Trying to break their formation.
But after one Swadia soldier fell, a new one stepped forward.
Crushed by the sheer numbers, the energy of the gnolls at the end of their lives could not save their lives.
The cavalry and elven warriors in the back constantly put pressure on the gnolls with ranged attacks.
Many of the gnolls fell to the ground wounded before they could rush forward.
Seeing this, the gnoll lord saw this, and with a green light of hatred in his eyes, he flew forward and slashed down one of the horsemen with the astonishing force of his right arm.
After him, many gnolls followed suit, trying to get past the defenses of the Swadia soldiers in the front row, cutting through the mages in the back and the cavalry on horseback.
With the incredible bouncing force, some of the gnolls eventually achieved their goal. Successfully disrupted the array in the rear.
When the first Gnoll Lord jumped into the rear array, Bhandak and the others launched a siege together and cut off the head of the Gnoll Lord.
Seeing the tendency of the front line to gradually collapse, he ordered loudly: "Second layer of defensive formation!" ”
Hearing the order, the Svadia sergeants jumped onto the backs of their companions and folded their shields in two.
Under a strong defense, the gnolls could not break through again.
I can only watch the other party gradually shrink into a distance from myself.
In the end, it was completely encircled and exterminated.
After the smoke of gunfire, only a few dozen elven medics were left in the mess of the battlefield.
Bandak took off his helmet, jumped off his horse, and said to Dareek, "I didn't expect the gnolls to hold out to the end and fight us. ”
"The lords of the gnolls are so different from the lords of the lizardmen." Derrick responded.
As soon as the war was over, Gabriel entered the city with a troop of men.
Bandak and Derrick remained outside the gates and did not follow in.
Organize your soldiers to set up their tents, and by late evening, the tents have been built.
Gabr also walked out of the city gate with soldiers carrying boxes.
Outside the gates of the Jackal Clan, smoke rose from the stove, and the Bandaks ate their first meal of the day.
After dinner, Bhandak, Derick, and Gabri gathered in their tents.
"Commander Bandak, Commander Derik, the results of the two searches have been recorded." Gabul took out two pamphlets from his bosom and handed them to Bandak and Derik, respectively, so that they could remember to read them.
"Thank you." After Bandak took the notebook, he said: "Actually, we can't see anything, this matter still has to be left to the officer in charge of it." ”
"Well, this campaign is almost at the end of the season. I've been lucky to be on a mission with both of you. Gabr said.
"Lord Gabriel, you've said that many times." Bandak replied, "Don't be so polite to us, the Elven Nation has been in close contact with Dehrim for the past year, and the borders of Cumberland have been under your care. If we want to say thank you, we will probably have to say it for a few days and nights. In the future, everyone may meet on the battlefield, and since they have met, they have made friends, so don't use the etiquette of thanking you in the future. ”
Darek stood aside and nodded in agreement with what Bandak had said.
Gabr was embarrassed to continue to entangle, stretched out his hand, and said, "Okay, I hope to see you again on the battlefield in the future and become comrades-in-arms side by side with you." ”
On the morning of the second day, after working out a route back to Cumberland with Derik, Bandak led the army on his journey.
The treasures found were divided into four and six and loaded on the wagons of the freight.
Kant's letter says that this is the result of his consultation with the elves, and that in order to lighten the burden of the march, these treasures do not need to be brought back to the main city by the army.
Upon arrival in Cumberland, they are to be transported back to Decherim by someone appointed by Cumberland.
