Chapter 446 After the War
The evacuation of the armored dragon quickly brought the battle to an end.
The crossbow troops have exhausted their giant crossbow arrows and are temporarily unable to continue their pursuit of the armored dragon.
The cavalry troops on both sides were entangled in the retreat. It was not until the lizard infantry on the opposite side began to lean against the rain forest and throw short spears at them to attack that the Zhou cavalry troops were forced to stop. He gave up the pursuit and started to keep a safe distance from the rainforest area.
During this period, outside the frontline camp that had been reduced to ruins, Li Ce was commanding the logistics troops to clean up the mess.
He knelt down, picked up a completely deformed sword, and then looked at the iron gun with the broken barrel next to him. He was also in a very melancholy mood.
At this moment, a logistics staff drove over in a carriage.
"Lieutenant."
"How's it going?"
"That should be all."
While speaking, the logistics staff pointed to the weapons on the vehicle. They had already picked out as many weapons and equipment as possible from the ruins of the camp that were still in good condition. At a glance, it seemed that the vehicle was full.
But Li Ce knew that this was not even one-fifth of the original amount.
"Where is the food? How is the food stored in the camp?"
The food left in the camp is enough for everyone in the camp to eat for at least ten days. Although the armored dragon has an appetite, It’s big, but it’s impossible to eat it all at once.
But this does not mean that the other party will leave them intact.
"A lot of the stored food has been trampled to pieces, but some of it should be edible after being washed."
When this happened, the logistics staff also got angry.
Li Ce, on the other hand, didn't even have the energy to get angry and just waved his hand.
"Go and count the amount of food and weapons and equipment in the supplies sent by the logistics force this time. After completing the statistics, report to me."
"Yes!"
The movement here is still very fast, mainly because the logistics troops who come here are very aware of the amount of materials they send, which makes their work more effective with half the effort.
Listening to the reports from his logistics staff, what Li Ce was most fortunate about at this moment was that the logistics supplies happened to be delivered today.
Let’s not talk about weapons and equipment. Given that the frequency of battles between the two sides is not high, the losses are still relatively small, and generally there is no big problem.
The focus is on food storage on the front line!
The original ten days of food storage in the camp was a 'fault tolerance' left for them. Even if the energy channel appeared a few days later, or something unexpected happened, they could still pass it. The extra grain storage went through relatively smoothly.
But now, this food reserve is gone.
Although taking into account the supplies just delivered, plus some of the food rescued by the logistics team, it should be enough for them to survive for more than half a month, but it is obvious that they cannot be as comfortable as before.
During this process, Li Ce thought about whether he could hide the food and weapons reserves elsewhere outside the camp.
In this way, even if the armored dragon attacks their camp, the safety of the supplies can be ensured.
But this idea was quickly thrown into the trash can by him.
Don't forget, there is an eyesore pterosaur rider in the sky.
This pterosaur rider does need to rest, but the opponent's reconnaissance frequency is still very high, day and night. If you want to hide supplies on the plains, most of them can only be hidden underground. At the same time, the size of the supplies means that digging a small pit is not enough.
Under this premise, it is basically impossible for you to avoid the detection of the pterosaur rider.
Not to mention the problem of getting supplies later.
When he thought of this, Li Ce couldn't help but sigh.
Just like when Soros launched his action before, he felt helpless in the face of his watertight response.
Facing the pterosaur rider flying in the sky, he was also helpless.
At the same time, after finishing the operation here, Thoros quickly ordered people to confirm the injury of the armored dragon.
How can the word "miserable" describe the appearance of the armored dragon at this moment?
The entire burly body was almost turned into a hedgehog by the weapon from the opposite side. Looking at the giant crossbow arrows that penetrated the armored dragon's body, the lizard people felt incredible and at the same time at a loss what to do.
Because they have never encountered such a situation.
Although the armored dragon's recovery power is good, if the giant crossbow arrow continues to be inserted there, causing the wound to be unable to heal, it will definitely not work, and it must be pulled out.
This really took them a lot of effort. In the process of pulling out the giant crossbow arrow, the armored dragon roared frequently due to the stimulation of pain, and at the same time, its body also instinctively made resistance movements. It brought them a wave of unexpected casualties.
The giant crossbow arrows that were pulled out were now piled in front of Thoros.
Most of those bloody metal arrowheads have been deformed. When they broke through the armored dragon's carapace, they were distorted by the squeeze of force because of their insufficient strength.
Soros tried to touch the edges of the arrowhead with his fingertips. The sharp touch made Soros's scalp numb. He understood why this thing could penetrate the armored dragon's body. Shelled.
At this moment, a lizard soldier ran over.
"Lord Thoros, the wounds on the armored dragon have been treated. As of now, they are just flesh wounds."
This result made Thoros greatly relieved.
The weight of the armored dragon itself is very alarming. In order to be able to support its heavy body, the bones and muscles of the armored dragon are very strong.
Although the astonishing power of the opponent's new weapon exceeded their expectations, it was obviously not that easy to pose a fatal threat to the armored dragon.
After sorting out his thoughts and confirming the situation of the armored dragon with his own eyes, Thoros stood up, rushed to the temple as quickly as possible, and reported the situation here to the high priest in person.
In the temple, the high priest who listened to the report frowned the whole time. When he heard the news that the armored dragon was injured, he almost had a seizure on the spot.
Fortunately, Soros, who sensed the bad atmosphere, quickly showed off his achievements, wiped out the opponent's frontline camp, and destroyed a large number of the opponent's weapons and food reserves, making the opponent's previous efforts in vain.
As soon as the results were reported, the high priest's brows suddenly relaxed a bit.
In this troubled time period, this was rare good news.
"Well, you did a good job, Thoros. You continue to contain the other side. When the battle with the ratmen in the south comes to an end, I will immediately send troops back to destroy them!"
< br>When talking about the latter part, the high priest could not help but reveal a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.
A series of recent troubles have made him feel more and more irritable. The forces of the New World, which he originally ignored at all, have accidentally become confidants who can directly affect the life and death of their lizards. Serious trouble.
This not only made the high priest feel more troubled, but also made him completely determined to eliminate future troubles forever!
