King’s Kingdom

The setting sun was like blood, and the crimson fiery clouds spread to the horizon. The strong wind before the battle had stopped and turned into a cool breeze, which brought a little refreshment.

The battle had been over for more than two hours, and the time was approaching dusk. The soldiers took off their layers of armor and rested for a while before starting to clean the battlefield.

The wounded soldiers who were injured in the battle and survived were treated as soon as possible. Field nurses, witch doctors and monks from the Church of God of War conducted joint treatment. In addition to the seriously wounded soldiers, there were also light wounded and general seriously wounded. Not a small chance to save your life.

All the corpses of our soldiers have been collected. Fortunately, it is late autumn, so their corpses will not rot too quickly, but that's all. It is unrealistic to want to transport them back to their hometowns to give to their families.

Although autumn is not hot, it is not a winter that is conducive to preservation. Moreover, the dead soldiers also have broken bones, broken limbs, or their internal organs are exposed, and their brains are bursting. It is even more difficult to preserve.

All Theodosius could do was to cremate the bodies after a solemn funeral ceremony was held for them.

In fact, apart from the Sea God Cult, there are not too many taboos and requirements for funeral methods among polytheistic churches, whether it is cremation burial or boat burial.

In addition, the Church of God of War has an encouraging attitude towards death in battle, and regards death in battle as the most glorious way to die, so the soldiers did not feel too sad when they died because of their possession.

Because in the teachings of the God of War Church, the dead can enter the kingdom of God of War, where they can enjoy countless secrets, milk, and meat, and they can also have an immortal body. So die.

Those who died in heroic battles will receive such honors and rewards to live in the kingdom of the **** of war for a long time until the end of the world.

The religious aspect is so encouraging, and the folk customs are also martial arts and war. The Lanyin warriors restrained their comrades with a solemn and sad mentality. The solemnity is because they are about to ascend to the kingdom of God, and the sadness is because there will be many before they die in battle. I haven't seen these comrades in years.

After the bodies of these soldiers were cremated, their ashes were placed in jars with the names of the fallen soldiers written on them.

There were 408 people in total. A total of 408 soldiers were killed in this battle, including 2 Lanine Knights, 25 Varangian Guards, 40 Prairie Hussars, and 341 Lanine Warriors. .

In addition, there were 185 seriously wounded, 228 lightly wounded, and more than 90 people who were directly disabled and had to withdraw from the army. The total number of casualties was close to 1,000.

Theodosius was heartbroken when he saw the casualty report in front of him. This casualty was almost comparable to the previous counter-insurgency war, and the rebels numbered 50,000 troops. They also conquered more than a dozen castles and died in battle. The casualties were only in the early 1000s, and the casualties added up to less than 2000.

And the destruction of an army of monsters with a number of only more than 1,000 was actually paid for half the painful price of the rebel war, which made Theodosius once again have a deep impression of the strength of monsters.

It was already night, and the corpses of the monsters were piled up together. The stench and the smell of blood were overwhelming, and the filth such as internal organs, intestines, brains, etc. were all mixed into an unknown liquid, which looked extremely disgusting.

Naturally, the Lanyin warriors would not give respect to the corpses of these monsters. They would show respect to the corpses of their own kind and comrades in arms, but obviously no one would sympathize with this kind of alien species that are enemies of humans.

They are piled up horizontally and covered with some dry grass and trees. It is easy to get a lot of dead branches in Silas County in autumn. Dirty flesh and blood burned clean, returned to dust, and turned into nutrients to nurture the next year's bountiful harvest.

Otherwise, their blood and corpses will become the most deadly source of pollution, and crops that can be eaten by humans will not grow on the land. Only the agricultural products of monsters can grow on it.

Objectively speaking, Theodosius does not know whether they are evil or not, but for humans, these creatures are too harmful and full of hostility to humans.

Just like the Neanderthals who competed with Homo sapiens in his previous life, to nature, these are just two kinds of creatures, but to each other, this is the enemy of life and death, and the other is the most evil creature.

In fact, it has nothing to do with evil or justice. It is nothing more than the **** that decides the head. Theodosius is a human being, so these creatures that harm human beings are evil. If he is one of these monsters, then human beings are the evil ones who robbed the ancestral land. only.

This confrontation, which can not be called a war at all, can only be regarded as a tragic battle is over, and the end is meaningless.

In the final analysis, it cannot be meaningless. After years of development in the civilized world, war has become a tool for competing for interests. Only the amount of profit obtained is the standard to measure the significance of a war.

However, in fact, the first large-scale war of mankind was launched against monsters precisely to protect the people. Perhaps this is close to the original meaning of war.

Failing to gain enough benefits, this battle was also for the protection of the people. After destroying the monster army and sending the news to all parts of Silas County, Theodosius took the army on the journey of return.

The battle is over, but the aftermath work doesn't stop there. Although the threat of monsters has been lifted~www.readwn.com~, Silas County has been affected by fear in many aspects in the past month.

The most affected is the harvesting of grain. Although the harvest season has not officially arrived, a lot of preliminary preparations must be carried out. Even many people's granaries are not ready yet, and the issue of grain sales has not been negotiated.

Not only farmers, but also handicraftsmen, workshops, and merchants in the city suffered heavy losses in this demonic disaster.

The handicraftsmen are better. Citizens can receive some relief from the city government, and they will not starve to death, but no one will be responsible for the losses of the merchants. The closure of nearly a month has caused many merchants to break the capital chain. Reaching the brink of bankruptcy, there were complaints in Silas County for a while.

The land that had been polluted into purple and black was also discovered. Although Theodosius didn't know what was going on for the time being, he had also sent the news back to New Lanyin City and ordered the wizards and warlocks to carry out Research.

Returning to New Lanyin City with the army, Theodosius ordered the ashes of the fallen soldiers to be returned to their hometowns and to their relatives.

Under the triple treatment of witch doctors, trauma doctors and monks, those seriously wounded finally survived 60%. In the absence of antibiotics and various modern medical methods, this is already a very high survival rate. In order to make them If he could survive a little longer, Theodosius deliberately slowed down his march and walked for nearly a month before returning from Silas County to New Rhine City.

After returning to New Lanyin City, before Theodosius had changed into the clothes he often wore in the castle, Vico knocked on his door again.

"Your Majesty, the warlocks and monks said that they have some clues about your question. I hope you can take a look at it as soon as possible!"
