164. The Plague of the Wolves
The sky is shining brightly.
The temperature difference between day and night in the wilderness is large, but the two times when the temperature difference is most extreme are noon and late night. One makes people feel like they are in a sea of lava and fire, and the other makes people feel like they are in the abyss of an ice cave, unless they are people who live in a wild place, otherwise it is difficult for anyone who does not carry a special hooded cloak to survive here, and even if ordinary people have the protection of a hooded cloak, they will choose a backlit shaded place to rest at noon.
As soon as you get through the most difficult two hours, the temperature will start to drop.
It's a bit bittersweet.
Of course, after the coldest two hours of the night, the temperature will start to rise, which is a bit of a trough followed by a high tide.
However, at this moment, the temperature is not in the hottest period, about 22 or 3 degrees, but the wind is slightly stronger.
The wolf stared at the battlefield in front of him with a grim face.
This is the battlefield where Sean led people to raid Berair yesterday.
The battlefield had obviously been cleaned, and a large number of arrows that could still be reused were taken away, but the remaining weapons that could not be taken away, Sean, did not leave them to the wolf, but let Cecilia burn them all with magical flames, leaving behind a large pile of iron slag that melted into pieces, even if he wanted to reuse it. However, it is relatively decent that all the armed soldiers who died here, Sean and the others did not touch them, even if the money bags on these people were all copper.
In addition, there were hundreds of people shivering and hugging together, but more than a dozen of them had turned into stiff corpses.
After a big war, due to blood loss, physical depletion and many other reasons, the body's fitness and resistance must decline. Under such circumstances, Sean and the others also burned most of their equipment. Each person was left with only a special hooded cloak, which was even more vicious than killing them. But as the side of the vanquished, they have no choice but to stay here and wait for death.
Of course, Sean was still very kind enough to let a person quickly report the situation to the wolf.
And the wolf was just as Shaun had expected, except for some of her men to guard the camp, the others immediately rushed over as quickly as possible, and finally arrived here in the morning. But when she saw the mess that Sean had left her, the wolf felt a sense of dizziness, because among the hundreds of people left behind, there were as many as forty or fifty uninjured. However, for the nearly 3,000 troops behind her, this manpower is simply dispensable.
And because of the defeat last night, the lack of food and the cold, these people have now been severely damaged, both physically and mentally, and it is absolutely impossible to let them go to war for another month or two without recovery.
If it's in a real battle. Then you can also hand these over to the wounded barracks for healing.
But now, the only thing the wolf could do was to leave one or two hundred men to take care of the wounded soldiers. And this care is still free. She even had to give them the supplies of her own troops. Because all the materials carried by this army have been looted by Sean, and all the parts that can't be taken away have been burned.
Now these hundreds of people are not a support to the wolf at all, but a burden!
The wolf gritted his teeth and looked at the hundreds of demoralized people, but there was a burst of killing intent in his heart, but it was very fast. She pressed it down. If she dared to kill all these people, then I am afraid that the morale of the army behind her would immediately disperse, which was not the result that the wolf wanted. So in desperation, the wolf finally had to grit his teeth and pinch his nose to carry this burden on his back.
"Damn Sean!" The wolf's voice was a little muffled. Combined with her expression and tone at the moment, it really looks like a wild wolf that is showing its might, "Everyone move faster!" We must get back to camp before noon, or the heat will bring us even more trouble and danger. ”
Soon, the soldiers brought by the wolf rushed up to help support the captives who had surrendered and were released by Sean.
Each of them had a little dry food and water bags on them, so they handed the food to the captives as soon as possible, and let them recover their mental and physical strength first, otherwise they would not be able to continue walking for a while. As for the rest of the people, they immediately began to dig a pit on the spot, digging a pit in the Gobi-like terrain of the Wild Land, which is definitely not an easy job, and this pit must be deep enough, after all, they are to bury the corpses of those who died in battle, and they cannot let these corpses become food for the demonic beasts that crisscross the wilderness.
Seeing that almost all of the soldiers he brought were looking like coolies at the moment, the wolf knew that he was afraid that this army would completely lose its combat ability today, so even if he found the traces of Sean and the others today, the soldiers he could lead the attack were probably only about 2,000 people. After all, last night he suddenly heard that his subordinate was injured and reported that Berair had been ambushed, and in order to prevent this from being a trap, the wolf brought out a thousand light infantry.
But unexpectedly, what Sean left her with was not a second ambush in the style of encircling Wei to save Zhao, but a big burden, which was even more ruthless than luring the wolf and others out and ambushing them again.
Standing on the Gobi in the wilderness, the wolf really paid attention to his opponent this time.
It was nothing if it was only a huge burden left for her, for in time of war this necessary means was very important, and it was even more likely to cause problems for the enemy than the slaughter of prisoners. What really bothered the wolf was the corpse lying in the center of the battlefield.
Blair.
The barbarians are a people who can throw their heads and spill their blood for the sake of honor, and dying on the battlefield is the most glorious moment for them.
Therefore, the death of Bellaire is actually the most perfect destination for the barbarians.
It's just that for wolves, it's a problem.
She could already feel the surprise in the hearts of the three lower Golden Realm powerhouses who came with her.
This time, there were a total of four lower Golden Realm powerhouses who came with the army, and there were five of them in total, including the three tribes that were intercepting Rena's female madman, as well as Bolair. Then there are a total of nine powerhouses of the lower Golden Realm. And the nine of them are not the kind of people who have no experience but are just empty realms, each of them has gone through countless bloody tests to finally have today's achievements.
It's just that among the nine, Berair's strength is undoubtedly the strongest.
Not only does he have the power of the bloodline, but the power of his bloodline has also been revealed, and in terms of his combat power, the wolf is not sure of victory against Blair.
But now, Bolair is dead.
If Bolaire were to die on the battlefield and the enemy had paid a heavy price, then the outcome would have been acceptable to the wolf. But she knew that Blair's death was just a soldier for the other side. And through the report of her own subordinate, the wolf even knew that the other party's army also had a priest, which was by no means good news for her.
What's more, if the other party takes out their anger on Blair's corpse after killing him, then the wolf can still arouse everyone's hatred.
But that was not the case.
Sean instead gave this enemy the highest respect!
The blood stains on Blair's body have been completely washed away. There's even a cloak on the place where he's lying. Even his hair, Sean had the Northland barbarians wash it. After that, it is braided into small braids. The crossed hands were placed on his abdomen, and the high-quality spear he used before his death was also placed on his body by Sean, and the crossed hands gently pressed the spear.
If all this etiquette is done according to the tradition of the barbarians, then the thirteen long swords with Bellaire at the core and inserted by his side happen to form a circle. It is a traditional funeral recognized by everyone on the Miracle Continent.
Thirteen Swords Funeral.
This is a gesture of high respect for the enemy's martial military capabilities.
Of course, there is actually a subtext to this kind of funeral.
That is, Sean killed Berair out of necessity, and if it weren't for this helpless situation, he wouldn't mind surrendering or letting Berair go. But it's a pity. Creation makes people, so he has no choice but to kill Bolaire, but Bolaire's bravery and fearlessness have also won his appreciation.
The wolf swept the three powerhouses around him who were also Golden Realm strengths out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes were already a little awe-inspiring.
Because she saw that at this moment, at the moment when she saw the funeral of the thirteen swords, the hearts of these three people all fluctuated a little. And this fluctuation also means that they will definitely not be lethal in the next battle with Sean, because they don't have much grudge against Sean, and Sean not only showed his strength to kill the next golden powerhouse, but also gave these strong people enough respect, so if they want to leave, Sean will definitely not stop them.
Before the fight began, these people had already begun to think about retreating, so how could they go all out in the next battle!?
First of all, he left her with nearly 100 wounded soldiers, which affected her morale and further depleted her material reserves, and the funeral of the thirteen swords at the same time shook the hearts of all the golden powerhouses.
The wolf hated so much that the madness and anger in her heart almost made her lose her mind, but she still had to suppress it.
At this moment, two subordinates under her direct jurisdiction also ran over.
Seeing these two people, the wolf asked, "How is the situation?" ”
"Staring at Sean, their eyes are dead." The first subordinate spoke, "Now we have lost all traces of them. ”
"I know it." The wolf nodded, "Since they were able to ambush Berair, and the eyes didn't report it to me, it proves that the other party must have sent him and killed him." Speaking of this, he looked at the second person and said in a deep voice: "I hope you can bring me good news." ”
Hearing the wolf's voice, the man's head hung down, and he said weakly, "I'm sorry...... My lord. ”
"Say it." The wolf whispered, but no one saw it, but the hands hidden under the cloak were clenched tightly.
"The defensive line of the three major tribes was broken through by Rena. And...... And Lord Winter Wolf...... Die. ”
"What!?" (To be continued......)
