Chapter 168: Chapter 167: Victory of the mystery and post-war remedy
Translator: 549690339
The war ended in the victory of the human race. However, this victory made the survivors very confused, especially the person in charge of the three armies, Rox!
There was a feeling of inexplicable victory…
Not long after the war began, the battlefield was shrouded in a thick fog. Rox vaguely heard from the rear that the terrifying dragon crossbow had been destroyed, and his heart chilled.
Then, he commanded the four generals who a.s.sisted him to support the middle army, while he fought against more than a dozen sword saints by himself!
As a 300-year-old man, it was indeed very strenuous for him to face such a high-intensity confrontation. After fighting for a few minutes, he felt that his physical strength had declined severely. Just as he was about to take out a few sword saints at the risk of getting injured… Suddenly, he felt that the number of sword saints attacking him in the fog seemed to be decreasing, and in the end, they actually disappeared… …
He wondered if they had gone around him to the middle army. Therefore, he hurriedly returned to the command center of the Middle Army. When he returned, he found that the adjutant on the command center had also disappeared. There was only a chess piece left there, and his heart immediately became cold.
He raised his head to look, but he found that he could not see the situation around him clearly. In his heart, he judged that this was definitely not an ordinary fog. With his strength, when he focused his gaze, he could only see about ten meters…
This was not good. In such a situation where he had completely lost his vision, not only was he unable to see the situation on the battlefield, he was also unable to command the army. Even though he had three hundred years of experience on the battlefield.., at this moment, he could not think of any way to resolve this deadlock.
If this fog was a tactic that the beast race had prepared beforehand, he was afraid that he would really be doomed today… …
Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted out the names of the few generals. At this moment, he could only choose to reserve his strength and retreat!
However, after he shouted, he realized that no one responded… …
No Way?
Instantly, Rox’s heart went cold, and he immediately knelt down on the command platform as if he had lost his soul… …
He was fully armed, but he did not expect that he would be defeated in such an important battle after his old age. Moreover, he was defeated so deeply that there was not even a single general left in the Empire. Such a crushing defeat with all his troops wiped out.., he did not even dare to think about how much the morale of the empire would suffer when this news was spread out!
When he thought of this, he revealed a bitter smile and slowly took out his favorite southern soft wine from his pocket…
He had bought it secretly in Kodovia. Originally, he had thought that after winning the war, he would find a small town, order a piece of fat steak, and get drunk alone.
But it seemed that he would not be able to enjoy that kind of leisure time…
“Here’s wishing the marshal good luck and a triumphant return! !”
Just as Rox was about to open the bottle cap and fall for one last time, a beautiful face and that gentle voice that was like water appeared in Rox’s mind.
Immediately, the wine bottle that he had brought to his mouth froze on the spot… …
After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally sighed and closed the wine bottle again. He put it back into his bag and picked up the long sword that was thrown to the side and slowly stood up.
He could not give up just like that…
Even if he lost, he had to live on and return to the Empire with shame. This was what a marshal like him should do now…
Although he would definitely face the saliva of thousands of people if he returned like this, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he had to have the courage to accept defeat even if he lost… …
He could not let down those people who wished him good luck behind his back…
Rox, who had regained his light, took a deep breath. Just as he was about to retreat, a gust of wind suddenly rose from the ground and the surrounding fog began to dissipate slowly…
Rox was slightly shocked and quickly turned around. If the fog dispersed, he might still have a chance to take away a batch of soldiers and reduce the empire’s losses… ! At the very least, he had to take away those griffins!
But when the thick fog dispersed, what he saw was an extremely unbelievable scene…
The empire’s soldiers, who were actually wearing silver armor, stood on the battlefield in the end. At a glance, there wasn’t a single beast that was confronting them. Under the morning light… … Their armor, which had been soaked in blood, became an extremely beautiful scenery.
Rox had an expression of disbelief…
Just like that… They won?
Rox rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked over carefully… … He suddenly realized that something wasn’t right… …
There were more than 500,000 soldiers, and at most, there were only a few tens of thousands of people standing there. It seemed very tragic…
But…
But why… . At a glance. … ? . This mess doesn’t look like a million-dollar fight?
———- —
“Marshal… . What shall we write about this war report?”Asked a sergeant-cla.s.s soldier nervously as he approached Rox in the Morondor Hall after dusk.
Rox is still in shock. He doesn’t know how to write… …
A large-scale war between two sides with more than a million people. In the end, only tens of thousands of people survived in the empire, but there were less than a thousand corpses on the battlefield… …
He really didn’t know how to write it…
Two Thousand Gryphon troops of the Empire, tens of thousands of Dragonhorse knights, and ten generals of the Empire. Even his adjutant was nowhere to be found. He even needed a corporal to remind him to write a report…
No one was alive, no one was dead… ? … how should he write this report?
And the orcs, too. If the Orcs were defeated, why were there so few corpses on the ground? If they were not defeated, why did they withdraw from Molendor?
Did they not know that once they withdrew from this pa.s.s, once the arcane devices of the Empire were reactivated, they would lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Who can tell me… … What the h.e.l.l… … What was going on?
Rox scratched his head in confusion…
“Could it be…”the soldier guessed nervously.
“HMM?”Rox’s eyes lit up. “What could it be? Tell me.”
Rox urgently needed someone with a big brain to explain to him, even if it was just a bunch of nonsense… …
“Could it be… the orcs were defeated, and our soldiers chased after Morondor?”
The eyes of the surrounding officers lit up when they heard that. “That makes sense! !”
What makes sense?
Rox covered his head and rolled his eyes. But at this moment, other than this logic that was full of loopholes, he could not think of any other explanation…
In the end, after a moment’s hesitation, Rox ordered, “Send a message back to Cordovia. Ask them to send more men to fortify the defenses, and organize a team of soldiers to take a look outside Molundo.”. . Um… . Go see if it’s true… . Rushed out . . .”
Officers: “Yes…”
———- —
“Rain girl… . . How much more of this are we gonna get?”
In the base on Mars, a large group of players were forced to knead dough in the center of the base… …
Upon closer inspection, one would find that these dough were very strange. After being mechanically processed, these dough were actually pieced together to form human and ORC models…
“Who told you to capture so many?”Inside the base.., raindrop’s face was pale with anger. “Are you locusts?”? “Previously, we agreed to catch half of them and leave half of them behind. Later, when the officers count the Beastmen’s heads and the human soldiers’corpses, we will secretly fill in the missing corpses. In the end, you guys are fine. You only need to catch almost all of them. Don’t you think that you can afford to catch so many of them?”
“We just feel that it’s a pity that half of them are dead…”a player said weakly.
Rainless melon immediately glared at him. The player quickly shrunk his head and kneaded the dough obediently.
“The humans have already sent out a search party…”the AI suddenly prompted.
Rainless melon covered her head helplessly and asked, “How many models are there?”
System: “300,000…”
“Get someone to put these models on the ground and throw them along the way. Try to make the scene as realistic as possible…”
“Will this work?”Xi Ye asked curiously.
“What else can we do?”Rainmaiden Wu gua rolled her eyes and said, “Although there will definitely be suspicions… It’s better than doing nothing… by the way… boss, how’s the quality of your magic flour? It Won’t be exposed, right?”
“Of course not!”Xi ye said confidently, “What I bought are all high-quality goods!”
“High-quality goods that cost a thousand divine coins…”ai quickly prompted.
Xi Ye: “Shut Up!”
Rain girl without melon:”…”
“Ahem…”Xi ye coughed lightly and continued, “It’s a little cheap, but the quality is very good. I’ve tried it myself, right… the newly made model will have the smell of flour…”
RAINWOMAN without melon: “I. . .”
