Anka commanded the legion soldiers, constantly taking turns. In such a small battle, the physical exertion may be very small. After all, they are just cannon fodder.
But if you keep fighting like this, the physical consumption will be very terrible, so those guys who are getting more and more excited about fighting must be allowed to step back and take a rest.
However, the problem that needs to be solved now is not only the attack of these monsters, but what is even worse is that there are too many corpses of these monsters.
It was so easy for them to die in battle, and the accumulation of corpses tended to become hills in a short period of time, and it was very obvious.
But in such a battle, if soldiers are sent to clean up these corpses, regardless of whether they have the skills, what is even more troublesome is that the isolated soldiers are likely to be overwhelmed by these cannon fodder. Their combat effectiveness is almost zero, but If the number hides, it will also pose a fatal threat to one's own side.
Then, he turned his attention to the mages in the legion. There were not many of them, and most of them followed the main legion.
There is just a large team of mages here, and there are also a large number of mage apprentices among them.
But when faced with this situation, he knew that perhaps only these mages could find a solution.
Soon he found the mage who led the mage team. After a simple communication, the mage said that it was very simple to deal with these corpses.
Although among this team of mages, there is no taboo profession like necromancer that is not accepted by mainstream mages in the world of Esgaia, but almost all mages have their own methods for dealing with these corpses.
Even if they are not professional necromancers, most mages will directly or indirectly study corpses. Because corpses of humans or mainstream races are not so easy to obtain openly, so monster corpses have become the first choice.
Of course, they will not keep too many monster corpses. Except for some special species used for research, they will keep them as specimens. More corpses will be disposed of quietly by them.
Anka was immediately happy about the good news he got from the mage.
Then the mages of the mage brigade just let some apprentices appear and quickly eliminated the corpses of these monsters.
The mage apprentices brought the potion concocted by the mages, and just sprinkled a little bit of it on the monster corpses piled up randomly, and the monster corpses melted directly.
It is easier to use than the legendary corpse powder, because when these potions are sprinkled on the corpses of monsters, they directly turn the corpses of these monsters into puddles of water. It is water in the real sense. You can see Anka was stunned. If these mages were willing, they could really kill people and steal goods without being seen.
Three hours have passed since midnight. In the process of attacking Feng Zhan's legion, those monsters have lost nearly half, that is, seven to eight million in number.
Of course, it is not just that the killing efficiency of the legion led by Anka has reached such a high level, but that these monsters also feel fear when facing such crazy and efficient killings.
They are just a timid group of people living at the bottom of the monsters. It is enough to find some food and reproduce offspring. They have no real fighting power at all.
When fear occupied the bottom of their hearts, they had no choice but to run away. Because the number was too large, the monsters in front were retreating, but the monsters behind had no idea what was happening. The impact and trampling on each other caused more deaths than If they attack the waiting military formation, they will cause even more casualties.
If it hadn't been for the howls of some jackals appearing behind these monsters, they would probably have completely collapsed under their own trampling.
Even so, after losing such a huge monster, they launched another charge towards the legion under the year-round pressure of the jackals. Otherwise, they are more likely to scatter on the spot, or simply kneel down. On the ground, motionless waiting to die.
It's just that this death was at the beginning
It was very violent, and their impact seemed a bit crazy.
Because this time was different from before, the jackals also joined the fight.
Their number is probably less than a million, but when they are mixed among the cannon fodder monsters, the situation becomes different.
Driven by these jackals, these cannon fodder monsters worked much harder, became more crazy and desperate, and with the consumption of these cannon fodders on the legion in the early stage, it became much easier for them to get close.
However, this is only relative, because the archers who have been recharging their strength have already locked onto them at this time.
For these archers, these jackals mixed among the cannon fodder monsters are the best targets.
Although those cannon fodder provide good cover for the gnolls, to the elves, they are not much different from a bonfire in the darkness. The appearance of tall creatures like them among a group of dwarves is simply an oath. Their differences prompted the elven archers to focus on taking care of them.
Dense but scattered arrows were fired at the gnolls like raindrops. In just an instant, hundreds of thousands of gnolls were thrown off their feet in the rapid charge.
By the way, they also implicated the cannon fodder around them, and they were killed together inexplicably.
This does not mean that all the archers have started shooting. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of arrows launched into the sky at the same time will definitely have the effect of blocking out the sky and the sun. Those werewolf eaters may not even be able to withstand the first round of arrow rain. All died.
Because this was destined to be a long battle, Anka did not let all the archers attack at the same time. Instead, like other warriors, they took turns shooting in batches to maintain physical strength and muscle activity.
When those cannon fodder monsters once again arrived in front of the legion led by Anka, they were already more or less mixed with some jackals who were lucky enough to escape the rain of arrows. However, the number was already very small, dozens. The appearance of hundreds of people was unable to penetrate the firepower network composed of the barbarians' spears and the dwarfs' battle axes. Apart from leaving many corpses on the spot, the jackals who could rush into the legion's formation and die were just a handful of them. countable.
This battle lasted for a full two hours, during which more than two million jackals appeared, and more than one million were killed.
The remaining 100,000 or so Jackals finally retreated after consuming millions of cannon fodder monsters. Although they were crazy, they were not completely brainless. They continued to attack even though they suffered such heavy losses. , can only be said to be an idiot, not crazy.
However, the deaths of more than a million jackals and tens of millions of cannon fodder monsters also cost the legion led by Anka the sacrifice of nearly 20,000 people to maintain the stability of the front.
After all, under the impact of rounds of jackals, the archers' shooting will also be affected. Fatigue is on the one hand, and the reserve of arrows is also an important reason, because in the subsequent shooting, those jackals seemed If you learn to be smart, you will use the cannon fodder monsters around you as your own shield.
Whenever he finds an arrow coming towards him, he will immediately grab a bunch of cannon fodder and block it in front of him, or even grab his own race as a shield.
Many archers' arrows have lost enough lethality. Although archers can't increase the power of their shooting, it will not only increase their physical consumption, but also damage their muscles. What's even more troublesome is will affect their continued combat capabilities.
Therefore, they need to shoot more accurately at the jackals. They often need to shoot directly from the opponent's neck or eyes to kill the opponent. Only in that place can they find it difficult to defend.
At dawn, after leaving behind millions of corpses, the jackals and the cannon fodder monsters all retreated.
But everyone understands that they have not gone far. They are still hidden in the dense forest, and the roars they make from time to time have shown that they will not give up easily.
Anka looked at the abandoned corpses of more than a million jackals, but fell into deep thought.
This jackal
The population of the werewolf tribe should be five million. This is the information obtained from the previous investigation. Even if there is a discrepancy, it should not be very big. But now, the jackals have sent two million people at once. After the casualties exceeded Halfway through, he evacuated in dejection.
This seems a bit strange. If they use their numerical advantage to continuously attack the legion led by him, they may still be able to break through their own defenses.
But now, they are almost consuming themselves. Even if you don't count the cannon fodder, more than one million people have died. Aren't they afraid of consuming all the Jackal tribe before consuming themselves? Even if this All the people of the race are soldiers. I'm afraid it will only take a few days if this continues.
A bad feeling made him feel very uncomfortable here, and this feeling made him feel very dangerous.
The sun has gradually left the horizon, but the temperature in the morning is still not high. After a cold night, dew gradually condenses on the leaves in the forest.
However, during this condensation, too much blood was absorbed, making them as red as blood.
The smell of blood filled the air, the breath of death made the morning no longer refreshing, and the heavy breath made this battlefield look so tragic.
Countless corpses fell on the road and hung in the forest. Most of them could not remain intact. After a night of defeat, no corpse could be taken care of by the same clan, not to mention that those monsters would not care about the same clan at all. alive and dead, let alone a corpse.
The ground is covered with corpses. This battlefield, perhaps in the coming year, will be a very fertile land, with too many lives lost here.
However, I am afraid that few people will come here to farm, and they are probably worried that the food they grow will smell of blood.
The sunlight gradually restored the brightness to the entire land, and the mess that caught the eye shocked the legion led by Anka. After all, the enemy's corpses were spread too widely, covering the mountains and plains, but they were fragmented.
You can even occasionally see some cannon fodder monsters roaming the battlefield, rummaging for this food, and their food is those of their own race that have been killed, or other races, as long as they can eat it, they will not waste it. .
Crows and vultures were lingering in the sky, seemingly disgusted by the mess on the battlefield.
Because although there are severed limbs and remains everywhere on the battlefield, there are still more monsters that have been trampled into flesh, and there are many monsters competing with them for food. Even if they want to feast, it may be difficult for them to do so. .
