Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 99 The Battle Is Over

The sky was cloudy, blood flowed like rivers on the vast wilderness, corpses were strewn all over the field, stumped limbs and arms were everywhere, and there were ferocious jackal heads rolling to the corners.

The air after the melee was filled with a sickening smell of blood.

Flocks of carrion-eating birds hovered in the air, uttering terrifying screams, sometimes swooping down, their huge wings flying close to the ground, suddenly setting off gusts of wind, sometimes frightened and flying up, accompanied by the screams that gradually faded away, In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the depths of the sky.

The battle between the Twilight Town army and the Gnoll tribe is finally over.

With the death of the wolf man leader, the wolf man was completely defeated.

Many jackal warriors fled in embarrassment. Since they had no means of transportation, no one chose to chase them down.

Moreover, even if these jackals who lost the protection of the tribe escaped, they would not be able to achieve anything at all.

Because many intelligent races oppressed by them on the wasteland hate it so much, where there is oppression, there will be resistance, this is an eternal law.

If the number of goblin kobolds forms a crushing advantage, these little guys will bravely besiege every wandering gnoll.

After all, even unpalatable meat is much more delicious than those unpalatable weed bark.

An adult Gnoll corpse is enough to keep a dozen little goblins from worrying about food for three or four days. This kind of adventure is worth trying.

With the end of the war, many exhausted soldiers dropped their weapons and sat down on the ground as if paralyzed, gasping for breath.

Some people even lay sprawled on the blood-soaked grass, looking at the cloudy sky with resolute eyes, feeling the joy of victory.

A wave of inexplicable emotions surged into their hearts, and suddenly they turned into face-changing masters one by one, with slightly stiff faces, sometimes in a daze, sometimes smirking, sometimes confused, sometimes firm...

The "Song of Perseverance" played and sung by the singer of war has long since ended. The moment this song of rage, which can make people temporarily forget all the pain, ends, the wailing of the wounded is ushered in.

There is no priest profession in the player force, even the druid who is proficient in healing magic has already poured out all the magic in the battle just now.

Many players who are proficient in medical bandaging carry medical kits and shuttle through the crowd to treat each injured person.

For those fatal injuries that cannot be dealt with, these players who have survived countless bloody battles also know how to deal with them.

Under Sarayan's order, some warriors who were still intact drew their weapons and cut off the heads of the gnolls, abyss gnolls, ogres, and mountain giants one by one.

This is their most important trophy, because this is not only Twilight Town's first active attack, but also the first active attack of all player forces in the entire Emerald Field to invade the enemy.

And it was won. Today's battle will soon make all the wilderness forces understand that these players who rely on the city wall all day long will also take the initiative to launch a counterattack, and it is also bloody.

They are no longer rookies who vomited when they smelled body odor a year ago, but a group of experienced professionals.

After a year of struggling to survive, they finally showed their dignity through this battle.

These jackal heads will be sent back to Twilight Town, and after a simple embalming treatment, they will be piled up in front of the city wall or hung in various conspicuous places outside the town.

On the one hand, it shows their achievements, and on the other hand, it also deters the enemies around them.

If there are some blind intelligent races who want to invade Twilight Town, then they have to weigh it first to see if they can resist these gnolls who came to Renda Jianshen Mountains.

Not surprisingly, Twilight Town may be able to survive the most stable winter. When the ice and snow melt, a new chapter will welcome them.

After a short rest, the soldiers began to clean the battlefield.

The army casualties in Twilight Town reached nearly 200 people, especially the fighters who resisted at the forefront, almost everyone had large and small wounds.

War is cruel, and there must be a price to pay, everyone knows it very well.

Almost none of these visitors from another world were accompanied by relatives or friends, and some were just comrades who fought side by side.

They watch and help each other, feel the warmth brought by the collective, and pursue illusory hopes.

Faced with these dead comrades-in-arms, the surviving players suppressed their grief, helped them contain the corpses, and carefully spliced ​​those missing arms and legs together.

Then transport it back intact, give these brave fighters a decent funeral, and let them lie quietly in the cemetery that has been expanded many times in Twilight Town.

It is impossible to return the fallen leaves to their roots, but at least let them go to the ground with the few things they have left.

In addition to collecting the corpses of comrades-in-arms, cleaning the battlefield also needs to harvest spoils.

In addition to the wealth in the wolf man's camp, the weapons in the hands of the wolf man and the furs of various beasts are things that are in short supply in Twilight Town.

Although most of the Gnoll's weapons are heavy weapons such as maces, maces, and bone crushing hammers.

But as long as these unused iron weapons are brought back, after being recast by the mountain dwarves, they will become lethal weapons that can threaten all humanoid creatures in the wilderness again.

After all, mineral resources are the most scarce thing in all players' territories. Although the entire Emerald Field contains rich natural resources, but they don't have the strength to mine them, so saying anything is superfluous.

The battle of swords, lights, swords and shadows has long since ended, and the glare of the sun has been obscured by the gunpowder smoke and low-hanging gray and white clouds that permeate the air.

The howling wind blew the wild land, drifting away with the smell of blood.

Thorn sat alone on a rock not far from the Wolf man's camp, his long sword stood within easy reach, and there was a medical kit by his side, concentrating on dealing with the three scratches left by the Wolf man's leader.

Tick!
Bean-sized beads of sweat slowly slipped from Thorne's forehead, soaked into the blood on the ground, and disappeared with an imperceptible sound.

In bursts of suppressed muffled hums, Thorne finally cleaned up the wound on his chest, then applied ointment and wrapped it with a bandage.

Then Thorne took off the water bag hanging from his waist, took out a piece of black dry food, and slowly swallowed it with the cold water, slowly recovering his exhausted physical strength.

These dry foods belong to the specialty of Winter City, which is different from the kind of coarse grains mixed with unknown substances.

This is a mixture of various nutrients and fine grains that has been refined by an alchemist. Except for the weird taste and hard to swallow, everything else is pretty good.

Of course, what Thorne likes most is that the dry food has a strong shelf life and does not take up space. In addition to supplementing the necessary nutrients for the human body, it is very convenient to eat, so that people do not need to spend time looking for food and eating.

With a few sips of water and dry food, Thorn's physical strength is gradually recovering.

Although the moves of the Nine Swords style have no limit on the number of times and can be used almost at will, they consume his physical strength and Qi energy.

Previously, some first-level moves might not consume a lot, and Thorne didn't feel it very obvious.

Since activating the second and third level sword moves, he can clearly notice the rapid consumption of physical strength and energy of energy after each use.

"It seems that after returning to this "Qi Refining Technique", we must study more to see if there is any way to improve quickly, otherwise it will be too difficult to rely on our own cultivation speed."

Thorne couldn't help thinking about it while eating the hard-to-swallow dry food.

Then Thorne got up and glanced at the Gnoll camp, then at the busy group of players, without any emotional fluctuations, raised his long sword and walked towards Twilight Town.

Whatever glory war may bring, it will surely leave pain in the end.
