Chapter 465 After the War
For this ending, the high priest never expected it.
Although the battle with the Ratmen in the south ended with a victory for the Lizardmen, the Ratmen were not already destroyed by them. The fact that the other party was able to withstand their multiple attacks shows that the Ratmen There is still the strength to fight, and the high priest does not dare to mobilize a large number of troops back with great fanfare, giving the rat people an opportunity.
With this as a premise, while ensuring that the ratmen attacks from the south can be dealt with at any time, the high priest has mobilized as much as possible and gathered enough troops to come back and solve the battle here.
In fact, their strength is indeed sufficient.
The strength of Dazhou's troops was indeed a bit beyond his expectation, but the key to their defeat in this battle was not that, but the centaur clan that suddenly appeared halfway!
[This group of centaurs clearly appeared on the southern battlefield before, but now they have moved back? ! 】
From a time perspective, it is actually quite enough to make this move.
But the problem is that the Centaurs should not be aware of their actions.
With no idea of how or when they would act next, the other party still appeared here in time.
That can only mean one thing, that is, this series of actions were planned by the other party from the beginning.
Their actions will not affect the actions of the Centaur clan. The other party is just immersed in following their own planned steps.
If you want to compete for the plain battlefield, the most important thing is the cavalry. However, this wave caused the cavalry on their side to lose everything.
No matter how angry the high priest is now, he can only swallow his breath now.
"Soros, Gruul, you two guard the rainforest defense line, I'll leave this to you."
After saying that, the high priest directly ordered the blue lizard guards to lift up the shoulder carriage and send him back to the temple.
After receiving this order, Soros and Gruul's facial muscles twitched unconsciously.
As expected, it’s still too early to relax.
The high priest did keep silent about the defeat in the battle just now and stopped pursuing it, but now that he turned around, the remaining mess still fell on their heads, and they needed to bear it. as a result of.
After forcing themselves to watch the high priest leave, Thoros and Gruul's expressions quickly became ugly.
Not to mention that the Velociraptor Cavalry has no room to play in the rain forest environment, but as the core combat force in the rain environment, it is their lizardman infantry unit.
Although some people stayed behind and did not rush to join the battle, the remaining people did not even make up a quarter of the original total infantry strength. What should they do?
However, now that the high priest has turned around and directly acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, what can they say?
It’s impossible for them to argue with the high priest, right? Isn't that seeking death?
Unlike Gruul, whose mentality is a bit broken now, Soros is still calm for the time being. At this time, he has begun to think about ways to borrow some temple guards from the high priest. Replenished troops.
Of course, it's definitely not possible now. Let's wait for some time to talk about this matter slowly, but we can't hit the high priest's gun.
At the same time, on Li Ce's side...
On the front line, each department basically knows what they should do when. They only need a little arrangement from Li Ce, and it will be done soon. Run at high speed.
The busiest thing at the moment is undoubtedly the medical department.
Judging from the current situation, we must stay up all night.
Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, Li Ce himself was not idle. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to handling the post-war work. He was busy until late at night, and finally had a chance to sleep. Although he was exhausted physically and mentally, Li Ce's powerful biological clock as a soldier still allowed Li Ce to wake up on time the next morning.
After a simple breakfast, I devoted myself to a new day's work.
He didn't dare to say he was tired. You know, the people in the medical department didn't sleep a wink all night, and he even took them to sleep for a while.
“Is there any movement over there among the lizard people?”
"The pterosaur rider flew over early in the morning and has been hovering over our camp. There is no movement in the rain forest. After that battle, the lizard people should not dare to act rashly in a short time, right?"
Listening to the report of the soldiers beside him, Li Ce nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
The pterosaur rider basically does this every day, it’s not a strange thing, as long as the lizard man army doesn’t move.
Taking a long breath, Li Ce couldn't help but rub his sore eyes, and then began to confirm the subsequent report.
In terms of casualty statistics, we need to cooperate with the diagnosis results from the medical department, which have not been sent yet.
However, the losses in weapons and equipment have been calculated.
When the Lizardmen attacked before, they just had a batch of supplies delivered. Along with the supplies, there was also a batch of weapons that had just been enchanted.
Li Ce reacted quickly at that time. When he received the news that the armored dragon on the opposite side had entered the plain area, he immediately asked all the soldiers to put on enchanted weapons and prepare for battle without saying a word.
The enchanted weapons effectively increased the lethality of their Zhou cavalry in the following battles. However, after such a round of defeat, the power of this batch of enchanted weapons was also completely exhausted.
Of course, this is something the lizard people don't know.
Li Ce is not sad at all about the loss of this batch of enchanted weapons. If they were defeated in yesterday's battle, the frontline troops would most likely be wiped out. As the price of victory, what does the loss of this weapon count?
The report from the medical department was not delivered until after noon.
“Report to Lieutenant, this time in the battle with the lizard people, thirty-four of our soldiers were killed and sixteen were seriously injured. In addition, there were thirty-seven wounded who were not seriously injured... …”
Along with the report, the member of the medical department also reported to Li Ce the details of each injured person.
The situation of the sixteen seriously injured people is not optimistic. We have only treated their wounds now. Whether they can survive depends on their fate.
In addition, the centaurs headed by Drogo and the elf soldiers headed by Silk were all injured, and many of them were seriously injured, including Drogo himself.
In the previous battle, among the centaur soldiers, Drogo charged the hardest and was injured the most. He suffered several holes in his body from the opponent's weapons. Fortunately, his internal organs were not injured and there were no fractures. Otherwise, he could be sent to the seriously injured area directly.
This wave of Zhou cavalry undoubtedly suffered more than half of their casualties, but in fact, in the face of the siege of the Velociraptor cavalry, which was significantly larger than them, and even the larger lizard infantry, If they could maintain this level of casualties, it was because the scale armor assigned to them by their king was working.
After this battle, the scales on his body saved at least two or three lives of each soldier!
If the king hadn’t upgraded their armor in time, the consequences of this battle would have been unimaginable!
An update is sent, thanks to book friends "The Heavy Rain I Missed in Those Years" and "Yiyun Thirteen" for their rewards!
