"hateful……"
I slapped my palm hard, and Xiaoxue under me leaned down slightly uneasily, growling and warning the surroundings.
The white fog, which started from unknown time, is getting thicker and thicker. Now it has reached the point where I can almost lose my sight. There is a vast expanse of white in front of me, and I can’t see anything. Not only me, but even Xiaoxue’s sense of sight and smell are blurred. It was severely hindered. In fact, this strange thick fog seemed to be able to vaguely isolate the connection between me and the summoned pets. Once out of sight, the telepathy between me and other pets would completely disappear.
As a last resort, I could only take back the poisonous flower vines and the others, leaving only my mount Xiaoxue. With its speed, even if it encounters any danger, it shouldn't be a problem to escape.
At this point, I was like a rabbit trapped in a maze. Where is this? Where are you? Where to go? In the vast white surroundings, is there a cold, sharp mouth waiting for me with a sinister smile? The fear of the unknown made me more and more nervous and uneasy.
"Hey, is anyone there?"
I shouted loudly into the misty abyss, even if it is an enemy, it is better than hiding in the dark.
However, the only thing that responded to me was the echoes that kept echoing from the depths of the mist. This was a snow-white world without anything. In the whole world, only Xiaoxue's slight breathing could make me feel at ease and lonely.
This is not a dream.
"Xiaoxue, let's go."
I urged the restless Xiaoxue to continue moving in the unknown direction. Anyway, it was just a knife to extend and a knife to shrink. In any case, it was better than waiting to die here. And there is no time to hesitate anymore. I have been delayed for a lot of time before coming, and I don’t know what happened to them...
Thinking of those people, I felt anxious again.
The current situation has to start from yesterday morning...
After eating Vilas's breakfast. I immediately planned to walk around the village. Yesterday's battle ended very late. When the soldiers chasing the monsters came back, the moon had almost risen in the sky. In addition, the soldiers were already very tired, so those The statistical data is only a rough estimate. The real specific situation requires careful investigation today to draw a conclusion. If the monster doesn't attack now.
It was dark last night and I couldn't see very clearly. Now along the way, I can really re-evaluate the losses in yesterday's war. First of all, in terms of architecture, there is no doubt that the battle site in the northwest of the village has been devastated by the covering arrow attacks from long-range monsters. Not a single house was intact, even those solid stone houses made of dark green asphalt stone, as if they had been swept by machine guns, with arrow holes in front and back. Not to mention that the roof made of thatch and wooden boards had already collapsed and became an open-air house. In this way, the roof of a house with air leakage in all directions can be re-roofed. It can no longer be inhabited.
As for those simple wooden houses. The destruction was more complete, and even the effort of dismantling it was saved. Some of them are still producing choking smoke, just like those villages that were looted and burned by bandits.
But the house is nothing. The most important thing here is land and wood. As long as there are a few people to help, it is not difficult to build a small wooden house that can shelter from the wind and rain. Fortunately, the people in the house had already moved away, otherwise there would be absolutely no data like "17 villagers".
At first glance, the situation of casualties seems to be much better than yesterday's situation with corpses and blood everywhere. Only some soldiers with bandages in non-vital places were lying down and resting in temporary tents set up, but in reality This is absolutely not the case. When I went to bed last night, the seriously injured soldiers had been taken care of and carried into the house. The remaining slightly injured soldiers were still outside. That was because the house was already full. , they had to set up temporary tents outside. If the soldiers inside the house were carried out, the scene I saw now would definitely be several times more tragic.
In addition, there are many warriors who have fully recovered after a night's rest. Most of them are on guard duty, and the rest are busy repairing the arrow towers and high platforms in order to prepare for the next monster attack. When attacking, occupy a high enough position to shoot arrows.
After walking around half a circle and seeing that the entire village had gradually begun to resume operations, I thought about going to Dhruv to see if he had anything else to add. Unexpectedly, a hurried figure entered after a few steps. My sight.
"Linya."
I screamed happily. Although I learned last night that the two deceased job transferees were unknown to me, I still felt very relieved to see Linya standing in front of me safe and sound.
"Ah...ah...Wu, you...hello."
Feeling at a loss for a while
, she patted her face gently, trying to calm herself down.
"Linya, what are you doing?"
"Hmm...ah...me? I'm picking herbs."
She raised her big dark green eyes and spoke softly.
"Well, herbs, herbs for treating wounds of those soldiers."
"Linya, you are so amazing, you actually know this."
I sincerely lamented that herbal medicine is always associated with the inscrutable traditional Chinese medicine in my eyes, which can make people involuntarily think of complicated stuff like the Compendium of Materia Medica and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
"No, it's just some crude herbs for treating wounds."
After being praised so seriously by me, her face immediately became ripe.
"correct."
Her slender and weak hands gently swayed in the large mage's robe, and a bottle of dark green liquid appeared in her hand.
"If you don't mind, please accept this."
"This is……"
"Special medicine to treat wounds, I will only do this now."
"Yeah!! This..."
I originally wanted to say no, as it is unlikely for job changers to have wounds, but I thought that even if I didn't use it, I could still keep it for other people in need, so I reached out and took it.
"Okay, but can you really give such a beautiful bottle to me?"
I thought it was just an ordinary bottle of potion, but after I took it and took a closer look, I discovered that the bottle was unexpectedly beautiful. The entire bottle seemed to be made of crystal, with countless exquisite patterns carved on it, and even the mouth of the bottle was beautiful. It is a small gold carving, and apart from the green potion contained inside, the entire bottle looks like a delicate and precious perfume bottle. In this world, this kind of craftsmanship is very rare.
"Well, please accept it." When I asked, Linya's face suddenly turned as red as an apple for some reason.
After saying goodbye to Linya, it didn't take long for me to find Dhruv.
"Wu, you came just in time."
Dhruv's tone was a little heavy.
"The bodies of those fallen soldiers will be cremated later. Please be sure to lie down there."
"Shouldn't we wait until the war is over?" My heart sank when I mentioned those soldiers.
"I don't know when those monsters will attack. Moreover, the weather is warm and humid now, and the bodies are prone to decay, so we can only cremate them as soon as possible to avoid causing diseases."
"Yeah, okay." I nodded.
The entire cremation ceremony was very solemn. No one would be happy when faced with this situation. 144 soldiers (except 17 villagers. In addition to those who died in the battle yesterday, 6 others also died of injuries last night) , neatly arranged in 10 rows, 15,144 corpses of young soldiers. Only when you really see them can you feel the shock, sadness and anger.
"...They gave their young and precious lives. They are all brave warriors, heroes of our Vitas Village. Here, may their souls rest in peace..."
The funeral was conducted under the auspices of an elderly man in the village. Then, the 144 corpses were cremated one by one, and the bones were put into boxes, engraved with names, waiting to be claimed by relatives...
"It seems that those monsters are not planning to act today."
Dhruv, who had just come out of the crematorium, stood on the sentry tower and looked at the army of monsters dormant in the distance. The anger in his heart seemed to have not subsided, and there was a frightening tone in his tone.
"So what do we do now?"
With a master like Dhruv here, I am too lazy to use my brain.
"Just in time, let our soldiers have a good rest for a day." Dhruv said slowly after thinking for a while.
"However, tomorrow at the latest, if they still don't attack tomorrow, we will probably give up our defensive advantage and take the initiative to attack."
"fair enough."
I nodded. I understand what Dhruv meant. If time passes, the monsters that were killed will probably regenerate and rush over. In this way, the battle last night will be in vain.
"However, I have no time to sit here and panic. I'd better go out and say hello to those monsters. The more I can kill, the better." I said with a smile.
"Well, it is indeed a good idea. The threat of long-range attacks from the opponent has been reduced a lot. If you send some warriors with strong mobility to harass and annihilate, as long as you are careful, there should be no problem. Also, send some more warriors to intercept those who are reborn. The monster came back..."
Dhruv was chattering on the side again, "Hey, let's teach Dhruv this kind of troublesome thing. I'll get out of the way first."
So, the next whole day was spent in a quite calm atmosphere until the next day...
