Chapter 69, Rabbit’s Revenge (Part 2)
When the night of burning fire finally passed and the faint morning light appeared in the eastern sky, the 300,000 troops brought to Italica by Emperor Soshar had completely disappeared. The city of Italica itself, which was "taken care of" by thermobaric bombs, was almost razed to the ground.
So, when the floating fleet landed on the ground after the battle, the female headhunting rabbit warriors of the urban management team jumped out of the cabin under the light of the morning glow, holding high-carbon manganese steel guns and carbon fiber spears, and carefully After entering the battlefield. These violent bunny girls, who were originally full of excitement and looking forward to a bloody fight, soon discovered to their disappointment that the only thing they needed to do at this time was to "pick up corpses"...
——The huge fortresses distributed along both sides of the Appian Avenue have now turned into a huge death cemetery, filled with flying ashes and a pungent burnt smell, as well as some kind of weird... The smell of barbecue. Large areas of the tents have been completely scorched, and among the scorched earth and debris, various corpses are scattered in all directions: some were burned to coke, some exploded from the body, some were bleeding from all the orifices, and some were. He just lay there motionless, but his whole body was already cold, and various frightened expressions still remained on his face.
Among the corpses and charcoal on the ground, a few living people could occasionally be seen - half-dead people, some with half of their bodies scorched alive, lying on the ground and letting out weak and miserable howls that were not like human voices. Some of them were half-sitting up with their backs against the broken fence, coughing out of breath. Every time they coughed, they would spurt out large mouthfuls of blood... Approximately 10 minutes have passed since last night's carpet bombing. For eight hours, those who were not seriously injured and could still move had already fled far away, or were killed by bullets from the air on the way to escape. Those still lingering in the camp are the seriously wounded who are unable to move. Seeing the Headhunting Rabbit female warriors approaching with swords and guns, these people had no urge to struggle or roar, but instead showed some expression of relief. The entire military camp is like a purgatory at the end of the world, making people shudder when looking at it.
Facing such a cruel and bloody scene, the female headhunting rabbit warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles and witnessed all kinds of horror and cruelty did not feel sick, but they also did not feel the joy of victory or the pleasure of revenge at all. On the contrary, there is a subtle feeling of emptiness and sadness.
However, despite being in a very strange mood, the bunny girls continued to raise their spears to "clear out the remaining enemies" and stab the dying enemies to death one by one. In view of the fact that on the Pacific battlefield during World War II, many well-meaning American medics treated Japanese soldiers. The wounded were killed by Japanese wounded soldiers during the rescue process. Nowadays, it is difficult for the relevant departments to withstand large-scale casualties. Before planning the battle, they gave a warning: Earth's war conventions are invalid in other worlds, so they are not prepared to treat a group of seriously wounded enemies. They only need to bring the bodies back to the medical school. Just use it for practice. In addition, some of the female warriors who were experienced in fighting also changed their weapons to war hammers according to Queen Tiurei's instructions, and then used the method of hitting the back of the dying enemy's head to let them leave as complete a body as possible... and then the next step , in accordance with the method practiced many times before in the "Corpse Picking Exercise", the relatively complete corpses were carried out on stretchers and placed in rows on a temporarily cleared open space. Since it was just the beginning of spring, the weather was still very cold, so these fresh corpses were not in danger of rotting and getting maggots for a while.
At the same time, the gunfire in the distance basically stopped. Some of the "aerial guerrillas" with [Bamboo Dragonflies] stuck on their heads ended their hunting that lasted most of the night, and returned with empty automatic rifles. When they arrived at the completely destroyed emperor's barracks, their expressions quickly changed - before, shooting enemies from the sky in the night felt more like playing a shooting game to them, and the enemy would not fight back. It's a pure target shooting game, with no extra emotions other than excitement. But when I returned to the ground, I saw so many corpses lying in a miserable state of death, with blackened skulls, splattered brains, messy internal organs and minced meat... These guys who were killing people for the first time in their lives immediately gave up decisively. .
So, while the female headhunting rabbit warriors were killing people and carrying corpses in silence, these "gods of death in the air" who were still majestic last night were all pale and depressed. Some people even vomited, and others Not daring to stay any longer, he rushed straight back to the cabin of the battleship.
However, the Headhunting Rabbit female warriors did not laugh at these embarrassing colleagues. Because in the previous collective training, they had already learned that the group of aliens fighting alongside them were not veterans, but new recruits who had just been recruited. It was their first time to experience combat. This was their first time. Killing people, no wonder they behave like this - when they first killed people, they were probably not much better than the newbies in front of them. But what they are experiencing at this moment is something that every qualified warrior must go through. Only in the blood and killing can they slowly grow into a qualified warrior, a brave warrior who can ignore life... Of course, the premise is that if they If you can survive.
Well, judging from the near-zero casualty battle in Italica City, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to achieve this.

When the urban management recruits, who had just bid farewell to their peaceful life and experienced their first killing feast, were vomiting and trembling among the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Wang Qiu, wearing a [Superman Suit], also flew down from the flagship, but he was facing The surrounding wreckage, broken arms, and blood-stained brains turned a blind eye.
——A few years ago, before he was pulled into the infinite space by the Lord God and turned into a reincarnation, he used to behave similarly to these rookies, maybe even worse. But to this day, one brutal and bloody interdimensional adventure after another has already trained him to become a qualified warrior.
He was more interested in a few mammoths killed by shrapnel than in the disgusting corpses that could be seen everywhere.
"...Hey, I didn't expect that there are still living mammoths on this Falmat continent! What a pity! They were all killed! If possible, the zoo in the northeast would definitely want it Get some live ones! Well, it seems that it’s not yet certain whether they are mammoths according to the biological definition, although they look quite similar..." Wang Qiu muttered excitedly as he stared at the mammoth carcass.
"...I don't understand what you mean by 'mammoth', but if you want live mammoths, there are two more over there, Your Excellency."
Headhunting Rabbit Queen Tiure curled her lips in disapproval, raised a clean and bright sword, pointed at a remaining fence not far away and said, "...But this big guy is not easy to feed. Not only does he eat a lot, He is also particularly afraid of heat and is prone to plague..."
Wang Qiu looked over after hearing the words and found a group of headhunting bunny girls escorting some ragged prisoners from behind the fence. Most of them were pig-heads and goblins on chains, with some chocobos and a few young long-haired animals mixed in. Elephants - these are the animals and slaves that accompany the army. They are tightly tied with iron chains when camping and cannot escape even if they are bombed. Most of them died in the catastrophe last night, but some survived.
"...Ah, even if these 'suspected mammoths' are difficult to feed, our zoos and research institutes over there are willing to pay high prices..."
Wang Qiu raised his eyebrows, "...Also, why didn't I see the Empire's pterosaur knights flying up to fight last night? I originally thought that with this air combat unit, even if the Empire couldn't defeat our floating battleships, at least it could. Will someone try to escape on a dragon?”
"...Pterosaurs? How can they fly in such cold weather and at night?"
"...Oh? Pterosaurs are so afraid of the cold? And...you seem to know the habits of pterosaurs very well?"
"...Hey, I was forced out too! When we were fighting Soshar on the grassland, my tribe was chased miserably by the dragon knights of the empire. Fortunately, pterosaurs are desert creatures and are very intolerant to cold. You have to retreat when autumn has just begun, otherwise you may not be able to survive until the end..."
——According to Queen Tiurei's explanation, the pterosaurs ridden by the Empire's Royal Dragon Knights are not real dragons. They cannot shoot fire or freeze rays, and their combat effectiveness is much worse. First of all, pterosaurs have no night vision. Flying with them at night is like flying a plane blindfolded. Secondly, pterosaurs are very intolerant of cold. Like snakes and other reptiles, pterosaurs also have the habit of hibernating. Although some The method is to use some kind of stimulating drug to forcibly awaken it, but as a last resort, there is generally no dragon knight. I am reluctant to do this, because it will cause extremely serious damage to the pterosaur, and the price of one pterosaur is much more expensive than five mammoths; thirdly, pterosaurs are not warm-blooded animals, unless they are in the hottest weather. In summer, otherwise pterosaurs need a long time to move, bask in the sun and keep warm before they can fly, otherwise they can only jump on the ground.
Although there are indeed a small number of pterosaurs and dragon knights in the army brought by Emperor Soshar to Italica City, the current season has just begun, and the pterosaurs attached to the Imperial Dragon Knights have not yet ended their hibernation period, so only It can be packed into a large iron cage and transported by heavy-duty carriage or boat. As a result, the bombing last night was so thunderous that the imperial soldiers had no time to release the pterosaurs from the cage before they were blown to pieces. As a result, the few pterosaurs were all burned to ashes in the iron cages, and in the tent The sleeping dragon knights were either dead or running away on foot...
As a result, after the headhunting female warriors cleaned up the battlefield, they only found some "roasted dragon meat" that looked like a beggar's chicken in the nooks and crannies.
In addition, the female headhunting rabbit warrior who tried to find Emperor Soshar in the city had no choice but to return empty-handed - due to dropping too many thermobaric bombs, the entire city of Italica was basically destroyed. Not to mention the neighborhood houses, even the city walls collapsed. The people in the city were either burned to ashes and coke, or buried under layers of earth and rocks, crushed into meat paste and bones. Scum, at least not humanoid. Even if some rotten flesh could be dug out from the rubble, it would be impossible to identify him... But it seemed that the emperor was dead.
Thorshar, the old enemy who once ravaged the Headhunting Rabbit Grassland and almost destroyed the rabbit people, was finally killed, but Queen Tiurei was not happy at all.
"... Logically speaking, I should be happy to see this enemy who almost destroyed our tribe finally die here in embarrassment. But for some reason, I always feel empty in my heart... ...In the final analysis, this revenge does not rely on our own strength. We were actually only spectators last night... There was no clash of swords, axes, swords and shields, no passionate shouts, only irresistible flames and explosions. This is no longer a war that I can understand. This is your victory. It’s not the victory of our Headhunting Rabbits..."
"...No, this is also your victory. Don't forget, since you married and had children with Chinese citizens, we are now a group of people, aren't we?" Wang Qiu said meaningfully, "...we Your victory is also your victory..."
In response to this, Queen Tiurei seemed to be stunned for a moment before saying with complicated emotions, "...Okay, you're right, we are indeed tied together... However, in addition to the main force of the empire here, there are also A special force is coming from the Yibei Kingdom. Are you ready? ""...Ah...don't worry, Her Majesty, we also warmly entertained those from the Yibei Kingdom last night. Someone is coming..."
