Chapter 32
The soldiers in the territory need to rest and replenish after fighting. So even if he doesn't want to go back now, he has to go back, because if he doesn't leave now, the casualties of the troops will increase and the combat effectiveness will be reduced by more than 30%. "Europa, how about we burn the remaining two hundred dwarf corpses?" There are several ways to destroy the corpses. One is to dig a big pit and bury them, which is called burial.
The second is open-air treatment, but this treatment method is prone to plague outbreaks; the third is composting, burying and fermenting the corpses as plant fertilizers; the fourth is to burn them into ashes with sparks, but it may cause forest fires, but this method is the fastest way to deal with corpses.
Europa said: "My resurrection spell will cool down for two days... After two days, the souls of these corpses will not be enough to revive."
Su Yue said: "Then cremate them."
More than 200 corpses were piled up like a pile of Arhats. At this time, Su Yue just raised the torch and asked his subordinates to start the fire, and then there was a bang!
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were lightning and thunder in the grove.
The prepared firewood and cotton wool were all wet by the rain...
"It's raining..."
Su Yue looked at the lord's log.
"Your soldiers have entered the rain state, morale -3."
The rain will expose the wounds, making the soldiers who are already wearing armor even heavier and more difficult to move. The soft forest terrain also created restrictions and troubles. The thin and soft rot layer absorbed moisture and slowed down the walking speed.
The probability of encountering landslides and mudslides on the top of the mountain will also increase.
"... This is too real."
Su Yue's hair was also wet by the rain, and lines of rain flowed down his face.
Europa was different. The rain near her seemed to have evaporated.
"I'm sorry, master... I'll help you cast magic now."
Su Yue smiled and said, "No, it's already wet."
Seeing that he wasted a little time, Su Yue didn't care so much. It was a trivial matter. He said, "Give up these bodies and go back..."
It is definitely impossible to burn them, and Su Yue naturally doesn't want to waste too much time on the trivial matter of dealing with the bodies. But now he has discovered another thing, that is, the military advisors and people who handle internal affairs are very important.
It would be nice if there was a secretary who is proficient in military affairs and internal affairs and can help him deal with some trivial matters.
Europa is an archangel.
He is not a hero, and he has no idea about marching, corpse handling, food, clothing, housing and transportation. He is not a qualified lord, nor a qualified internal affairs official...
Su Yue couldn't help thinking in his heart: "I wonder if the 1652 refugees who entered the territory today can produce another talent in internal affairs?"
If there is a talent in internal affairs, management will be much easier in the future.
The lord should criticize the problem from a strategic perspective and angle, not get caught up in such meaningless trivialities. Of course, this is inevitable, who makes the Turin world an extremely real world?
"Too real..."
The firewood and cotton wool were all wetted by the rain, and Su Yue's linen clothes were tightly attached to his skin, feeling sticky. There was a fresh smell of soil in the air around, and the raindrops sprinkled on the half-rotten maple leaves, crackling.
"Retreat, go back and repair."
"The lord has ordered, go back and repair."
When Su Yue followed the soldiers to abandon the bodies, he actually saw a woman in a cloak walking towards them in the rain and fog of the forest through his reconnaissance perspective.
The cloaked woman hunched over, which was very consistent with the image of the witch in Snow White and the Dwarfs.
"Witch?"
Su Yue looked at the woman in front of him curiously.
She said: "Respected Lord of the Divine Tong, I suggest that you should take these two hundred bodies back instead of abandoning them in the wilderness..."
Su Yue pulled the reins of the white horse, and the more than 600 troops behind him were scattered in the dense forest, not in formation... He looked around to be alert to the appearance of possible enemies who might attack, and signaled Europa to explore the surroundings as well. Because
Because of the rainy day, the detection rate around has been reduced by about 20%. Europa is also alert to possible attacks and dangers around. Witches are creatures in medieval legends, and none of them are good people.
It is rumored that they like to use crucibles to make green and black foaming potions, which can treat various chronic diseases. There are also goblins and apprentices accompanying her. The world of Turin is full of dangers. Who knows if there are troops attacking Su Yue behind her?
Who can guarantee that what she said is not a lie?
What makes Su Yue even more curious is how she knows that he is the Lord of the Divine System? How does she know his name?
"Do you know me?"
The silver-haired witch in the cloak kneeled respectfully, regardless of the dirtiness of the rain, and crawled wetly in front of Su Yue, and bowed.
"I am the servant of the great Abraham von Heinrich Anatos... I was specially sent by Lord Abraham to tell him the information."
"..."
Again, Abraham, the sixth brother! Su Yue was shocked. Let's see what he is up to. It can't be the Six Monkeys Elixir.
The silver-haired cloaked witch said, "Lord Abraham asks you to take these two hundred bodies back. The souls of these bodies have not yet dissipated, and they are very valuable to Lord Abraham."
"Wait a minute?"
The silver-haired cloaked witch explained the information, and suddenly in front of Su Yue, she turned into a powdery silver smoke... Her body actually dissipated? Is this an illusion or magic? Or does this silver-haired witch really exist?
Su Yue subconsciously clicked on the lord's log.
The lord's log will not lie to you.
"You were advised by the witch subordinates sent by Abraham, who hoped that you would bring back 200 dwarf corpses and supply them to the great devil to obtain souls."
"Souls?"
Su Yue fainted. Europa could resurrect the dead... Abraham played with souls?
Is this the difference between an angel and a great devil?
Although Su Yue's thoughts drifted, no matter how old Abraham was, he was still his companion and subordinate... Although Su Yue said he disliked him and often expressed dissatisfaction with him in his heart, he had to admit that many of his excess returns were brought by him.
There was a feeling of "mental dissatisfaction, physical honesty".
If Abraham was compared to an old staff, Su Yue would be the lord who relied on his wisdom. The lord who truly ruled the world did not need absolutely strong strategic ability or absolutely strong military force, but should be like Liu Bang.
Being able to use two subordinates with strong strategies and strong military power... Su Yue felt that Abraham was a guy with strong wisdom.
This guy's plan has been calculated for 100 years.
"Who knows what Abraham, the sixth man, is thinking. He wants the corpse... This notification method is also strange."
Su Yue and Abraham couldn't communicate by phone at a distance.
So Su Yue directly asked the troops to brave the heavy rain and start carrying corpses.
Good guy.
Originally, the combat power of braving the rain and injuries was -30%, but now more than half of the more than 600 people were carrying corpses. Some cave dwellers carried the arms of the corpse in front and the two thighs of the corpse in the back. As a result, because the injuries in the middle were too severe, the corpse was directly broken into two pieces; like the second-level blind warrior, one person can carry two corpses.
Those wearing armor couldn't carry the corpses, and could only follow the large army in a daze, one footprint and one puddle.
The combat power of the overall troops was reduced by at least 70%.
If two hundred more dwarves come now, I'm afraid they can kill all the remnants of the defeated army.
If there is another mudslide, or an ambush like a rolling stone, Su Yue will definitely flee... This is the most realistic point of the Turin world.
"Europa, explore the nearby map."
"Yes."
