The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Night is a troublesome thing.

After confirming that the enemy was a living person and not the Brelands who had obtained the secret arts, Nass's army no longer hesitated to use the undead's advantage in night battles.

The heavy bombardment from the iron birds during the day, the explosives used by the infantry to clear the way, and the cavalry who rarely used wolves as mounts, all of this was beyond what they thought the small Kingdom of Wommza could do to fight back.

Therefore, after dark, Nas's army immediately seized the opportunity and strengthened their attack on the enemy overnight.

However, it can only be said that both of them were seriously injured in the encounter during the day and the continuous fighting at night.

Whether it was Nas's army relying on the undead, or the 3,000-man army that Abes called through the radio, by the next morning, they were unable to fight each other.

What worries Abes the most is that if the fight gets to the end, they might be the first to collapse.

They need to continue watching the Eastern Wilderness, observe the fertile land in the south, and guard against enemies crossing the mountains and reaching the royal capital. Even the newly acquired Carter Castle needs manpower to maintain stability for a period of time. The number of people directly transferred to the Breland family is too small.

There were only these three thousand people on the first day.

The next day, another two thousand people came from Carterburg, and the number of people was equal to that of Nasra.

Some people might say that it is a shame for the time travelers that they had guns, cannons, and even air strike force but failed to achieve a great victory immediately after the numbers were equalized.

But the problem is that the enemy can be reused four to five times at least after death, and in extreme cases even nine times, which makes it longer able to survive than the black cat.

Magic and guns, they are all cheating against each other, and the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.

Judging from the current battle situation, there is no reason to say that the magic grenades and other explosives created by Hibiki and Kronos are definitely more powerful than the opponent's.

In addition, the other side at least has experienced regular troops, while the experienced regular troops on Abes' side have already destroyed themselves in a battle royale game at Crow Castle.

It’s not that the troops recruited and trained by Abes himself are not strong, but their past victories in the capital region have made it difficult for them to grow.

In addition, several difficult battles were fought around city walls and artillery bombardments, which meant that the army that Abes had high hopes for was actually not very capable of fighting battles other than sieges.

Most importantly, they were not mentally prepared for a long-term battle.

After a day and night of hard fighting, Abes's army was obviously more exhausted.

The steel...did not succeed in suppressing the pile of bones.

----------

The next morning, we received support from friendly forces who rushed over immediately after finishing their business in Carterburg.

The Tricolor National Salvation Army finally regained its foothold near the Breland family's castle.

And Gaviling, the young, almost childlike officer whom Abeth trusted, found some unusual feedback in his statistics.

There were a large number of frostbitten people in several teams.

Some people may say that in the northernmost part of the entire continent, howling cold winds are common, so how could frostbite be a big deal?

Not to mention freezing off fingers and toes, even freezing to death would not be a surprise.

But here's the problem.

People in the north, who are used to the cold winter, are also the most accustomed to taking precautions against it.

So you are going to report that you have been able to airdrop soldiers and airdrop supplies;

The Gyeonggi region relied on the magic industrial system's assembly lines to produce all kinds of materials at full capacity, ensuring that cities, towns, and even more remote villages had a warm and well-fed New Year.

With so many prerequisites, how could there be soldiers who got frostbite?

This is simply a shame.

If Lord Abes heard about these things, I wonder what he would think.

Do they feel that they are just like the regular armies of small kingdoms that collapse at the slightest touch, and can only fight civil wars among themselves?

Are they vulnerable to the outside world?

After questioning, leaders such as Gaviling and Kurgei finally figured out what had happened to their men.

Sure enough, it was all due to the mentality of quick victory.

Yesterday at noon, during the first encounter, they achieved a great victory.

With the high-yield explosives in the air and the shells fired from the magic cannons clearing the way, they easily forced Nas's team to retreat several miles quickly.

Without exception, those teams that suffered from the cold were all desperate. They even threw away all the weights on their bodies and rushed forward lightly, holding magic grenades and magic arm armor.

However, instead of ending after a few hours, the battle dragged on longer and longer.

It was not until night that they found it difficult to set up camp to rest and keep warm because of the harassment from the undead who were good at fighting at night.

In addition, there was a sudden drop in temperature.

That night, the surrounding temperature was no longer the usual minus 20 degrees Celsius in the north, but minus 30 degrees Celsius.

Those who were directly frostbitten or suffered from frostbite were considered lucky. Some of them caught a cold and had a high fever or pneumonia, while some were just so cold that they had diarrhea.

"Including the twenty or so people we just admitted, the total number of patients this day and night has reached over three hundred."

The situation of some other teams is even more serious.

"Lord Gaviling, look at this team. When they were entangled in a fierce battle at night, the entire team was unfamiliar with the terrain around the Breland family, and one-third of the team members stepped into a water-filled pit."

In extremely low temperatures, if the wet limbs are not dried and kept warm in time, and you have to continue fighting for a long time?

As expected, when he was sent back to the rear, the best option was amputation.

In a world with magic, it is not a big deal for people in high positions to lose hands and feet, as they can easily be reborn by using magic.

But generally speaking, soldiers don't have this kind of treatment.

It’s not that I feel there is a difference in status, it’s just that I’m too busy.

If all the mages stayed behind to treat the soldiers, there would only be greater casualties on the front battlefield.

Once the delay exceeds a few days or even weeks, basic spells to regenerate severed limbs will be of little use.

It would require more powerful spells and more scarce powerful beings to get it back.

But the same thing goes, I'm too busy.

You want some great wizards who can be national teachers and consultants to come and use advanced spells that take a hundred or even five hundred weeks to prepare to treat a battle where there are thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of injured people?

If you are really willing to use the Archmage in this way, and the Archmage agrees to waste a lot of time on this, then the only ones who will laugh their heads off are the enemy army and the enemy country.

To put it bluntly, under the long-standing tradition and in the context of maximizing profits, magic has never belonged to the general public.

Only under Abes's command, by encouraging Matthew to carry out research and reform in medicine, was it possible for treatment to be provided to these ordinary soldiers.

Gaviling clenched his fists. He was somewhat unhappy with both his enemies and his own people.

"If they are injured or even amputated, use the free transport birds to evacuate them and return to the capital as soon as possible."

"Also, let Lord Abeth know that this battle will obviously not be over in a day and a half or two days. We need to prepare for the worst-case scenario we have ever faced. I will draw up a list of requirements and give it to Lord Abeth to decide."

But even though the amputation could have been saved by sending him back to the capital via the iron bird, Gaviling still felt particularly angry.

"You guys, do you think you have the same detailed treatment methods as the knights in the past, so you start to waste time?"

"It's only half a day longer than the previous battle. Look at your performance in the afternoon and evening. It's completely different from the results at noon."

"I'm telling you, just because you won't die easily, get hurt easily, or even get scarred, doesn't mean you can just fight like a jerk here."

"You are able to get this opportunity because of Lord Abes's kindness, Lord Matthew's intelligence, and Lord Matthew's development of so many new diagnostic and treatment methods after being enlightened by Lord Abes."

"But what if you guys don't fight hard and cause Lord Abes in the Breland Castle to encounter some trouble."

"Even if Lord Abes's forces are completely wiped out by these damned Nas invaders, then you will never be able to use semi-magical healing methods on a bunch of you soldiers again in your lifetime!"

----------

What Jiaweiling said makes sense.

During the entire process, Abes stayed in the Breland family's castle without any retreat. At the closest point, he was less than three miles away from the battle line.

For any other commander, this distance would be too dangerous.

And there are many reasons why Abes does not retreat.

One of them is that he himself is more or less a high-end combat force and can be deployed as a surprise force.

Not to mention being so close to the front line, he would have no problem even if he went directly into the front line.

However, after experiencing the wave of undead in the Breland castle and the cluster of undead around the dead tree, Abes could guess what the scale of the undead that had risen to the level of a country's army would be.

To put it bluntly, with Abes' current level three professional strength, combined with other protections, he can achieve a final actual strength of level five or six, which means he may be able to slightly suppress the little red dragon Crimson beside him.

If you charge directly into the battle now, you will definitely not get seriously injured, but you will definitely not gain much advantage either.

In other words, although there is no big problem in directly entering the front line, it does not mean that he can unscrupulously treat the battlefield as an amusement park.

Therefore, he can only be a powerful surprise force, not an all-powerful god.

If it's the latter, why does he need to ask the radio station to call for help? Can't he just do it himself?

Therefore, staying in the Breland family castle not far from the front line was not only for the convenience of command and to stabilize the morale of the army, but also to be able to intervene quickly if an opportunity was found. This was how he should use his combat power.

----------

In addition to the reason of being Abes Grande.

Another reason why he continued to stay in the Breland family's castle was naturally the original intention of bringing his companions here as [Thousand Slashers].

"The witch Aunt Wanna once stopped here. We need to know whether this witch has revealed any information about the witch gathering she belongs to. It exists here, right?"

"Why are you so reserved? Sit down."

And those around Abes were naturally his companions who followed him when he traveled as Qian Zhong Zhan.

Anivia and Crimson knew this a long time ago.

The pressure naturally fell on the last two "newbie" teammates who really didn't know Abes's identity.

Bai Renchou is an amnesiac. He indirectly discovered Abes's identity from the soldiers' mouths.

Although he was already shocked just by hearing the series of names described, his degree of shock was reduced to a lower level because he had no memory of history.

The one who could truly be said to have felt the most pressure and shock was Sauron.

He was still sulking, so he didn't go to the soldiers to ask about Abes's identity in a roundabout way that day.

His revelation of Abes's identity came from when he took off his helmet, revealing his golden eyes, and said his name.

Soran stood there blankly, his whole body seemed to be frozen, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and he seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

His hands began to tremble involuntarily, and his fingertips suddenly felt numb for some reason.

I swallowed hard, but maybe because I was too nervous or something, my throat was almost choked by the saliva.

"Abes...Grande..." He finally uttered the name with difficulty, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

Bai Renchou also seized the opportunity to throw out the names he had learned one by one.

"Yes, yes, Master Qian Zhongzhan is very powerful. I asked around and found out that he is..."

[An ancient hero from thousands of years ago][A legendary brave who came back from the dead][Pioneer of the continent][The liberator who rescued all intelligent races from the rule of dragons][The king of kings destined by the destiny star].

These titles stirred up huge waves in Soran's heart, impacting his fragile nerves wave after wave.

Is it the same name?

Is it a change of name and surname?

Is he trying to gain power by dragging his subordinates into making up stories for himself?

Soran originally wanted to make such a judgment.

But other evidence made him realize that these ideas were just something he was unwilling to accept.

The Thousand Slashes are extremely powerful, and this is a sign of the protection on the body;

Master Chizan has many different fighting styles. It is precisely because of the protection that he can have multiple sub-jobs and even professions.

And what is reflected in those soldiers.

Lady Anivia also gave an introductory talk on things such as the magic industrial system and assembly lines.

As for the soldiers nearby, any one of them could be caught and he would bring up concepts such as explosives, magic arm armor, iron birds and other unprecedented weapons and equipment.

The heroic spirit that far exceeded the current era made it impossible for him to deny the authenticity of the other party.

Soran's eyes revealed a complex emotion, including deep shock, endless admiration, and a hint of uncontrollable fear.

Soran, who had once lived a hard life and was adopted by two semi-adoptive fathers, naturally had a great fondness for the legendary hero from a thousand years ago during his childhood, just like other children.

After learning from Anivia and the surrounding soldiers what Abes did after his resurrection, he admired him even more.

And before, I actually took it for granted that he and General Paddy were the same kind of people...

This is simply an insult.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to care. Now, Thousand Slashes... Lord Abes said generously.

"Sauron, sit down!"
