Knight with Wand

Chapter 132 Cleaning up the battlefield

Listening to the retreat call from the other side, Knight Heinkel looked at the floating bridge that was about to be built in front of him and pounded his fist angrily.

It was only necessary to wait for half a minute longer! If the young master had listened to his advice before the attack!

The reluctance turned into a sigh. The old knight didn't know why he was defeated in the front battlefield with twice the number of troops, but since the main force had retreated, he and the two hundred militiamen were powerless to turn the tide.

Heinkel stopped the soldiers from building the bridge and turned to lead the army to evacuate the north bank.

As the Wolf family's army gradually moved away from the way they came and completely disappeared from the battlefield, the soldiers gathered by Old Brian really felt the arrival of victory.

But after cheering, people still couldn't stop and rest immediately.

Some soldiers remained on guard, while more people began to look for their own wounded on the battlefield and treat any villagers who still had hope of survival.

Old Brian at the bottom of the slope was running around, organizing the soldiers to build a temporary camp, and asked people to go back to Longka Village to get simple stretchers made of door panels and wood boards to carry the wounded.

Leon didn't want to be idle, so he temporarily handed Cannis to Olivia, Sir Redo and others to be taken back to the camp for imprisonment. He ran down the high slope with his soldiers to search and rescue the people.

The medical level of this era is worrying, and Longka doesn't have many treatment methods. Now, every time you find one more wounded person as soon as possible and clean the wound, you may be able to save one more life.

Those enemy soldiers who were not taken away by the enemy and were not completely dead, Leon didn't have extra time to care, but for the soldiers fighting for him, saving one more is one.

Especially the Selva people, many young and strong Selva people have not had time to reorganize their families and leave offspring. If these people die in battle, it will really be completely extinct.

Running around the battlefield, although the power of the boiling heart was fading, Leon, whose physical fitness had grown rapidly after this period of crazy magic stimulation, was still far stronger than ordinary people, and his efficiency in carrying heavy objects was naturally much higher than that of ordinary young men.

"Is that the Lord?"

The soldiers who were busy saw the silver-armored figure running past them, and looked back in surprise, watching the knight lifting the wounded he had found, walking back and forth between the battlefields full of corpses with fast and steady steps. They were a little surprised that the noble knight would condescend to do such dirty work.

Not far away, Lohak had bandaged the injured Azerien, and seeing Leon running around, he thought about it, rubbed his palms, took off his iron gloves, and ran over to help his partner.

The two of them worked with the soldiers, and dozens of wounded soldiers with minor or serious injuries were temporarily transported to the wounded camp for treatment.

Although Longka did not have a military doctor at the moment, fortunately, there was a young mage on the scene who was more proficient in "medical skills" than most civilian doctors in the Western Continent.

And the Duwana veterans under Sir Redo also had some experience in simple bandaging and treating injuries.

Facing the panicked thanks of the lightly injured soldiers, Leon comforted everyone a few words, then turned and went to the operating tent not far away, where wailing and screaming were constantly coming out.

Walking into it, the bloody smell filled the nose.

In front of the operating table that looked like a slaughter scene, the clothes and hands of the young man in a simple robe were stained with bright red.

".Hold him tight!" Corvis changed his gentle and elegant voice in the past, and now he sounded like a calm butcher.

In fact, what he was doing did look very similar to that of a butcher.

However, the butcher took away life, while the blond boy was trying to save life as much as possible.

Leon sighed and quickly stepped forward to help hold down the struggling and crying wounded.

Without anesthesia, the pain of the amputee would be like torture.

Leon realized the great value of the drug-like "Spiritual Comfort Incense".

Compared with using it for committing crimes, it might be the right way to use it in medical surgery.

Dealing with the seriously injured who were constantly carried into the treatment camp, and performing surgery on more than a dozen critically ill soldiers, the blond boy's forehead was soon covered with sweat.

He wiped him with a cloth that had been boiled in boiling water for half a quarter of an hour and disinfected. Leon was ashamed that he was just an ordinary office worker in his previous life, and he did not have medical skills, nor did he have the ability to transmit magic elements like Corvis, and infuse his own energy into the other party.

He had to use his only simple hygiene knowledge as much as possible to help the little wizard.

They kept passing the surgical instruments disinfected with flames back and forth. Fortunately, the medical tools prepared in advance were sufficient, including steel knives, tweezers, pliers, hammers, chisels, saws, needles and thread, splints, bandages, etc.

In the tent, the next thing was the frightening sound of knives cutting flesh or sharp saws cutting bones, and from time to time there was the sizzling sound of branding burning wounds

After an unknown amount of time, the last horrible surgical operation was finally about to end.

The white flame rose in Corvis's hand, and the jumping holy flame brushed across the wound to stop bleeding. After all the invisible unclean foreign objects were removed and the bandage was completed, the almost exhausted boy breathed a sigh of relief and almost fell down.

The Duwana soldier, who was sighing inexplicably, quickly supported the beautiful little wizard beside him, or the little doctor?

He knew very well how lucky these militiamen and comrades who underwent this surgery were. Even though the process was painful, there was a sorcerer personally presiding over the treatment, which was a treatment only available to the nobles.

The dazzling magic looked much more reliable than the crude techniques of ordinary military doctors.

"Thank you." Corvis then helped him stand up again, but his sleepiness made his eyelids fight uncontrollably.

The boy, who had already exhausted his magic power in the battle, had overdrawn the magic in his body.

"Leave it to me." Leon came over and took the help from the Duwana warrior, and took off his bloodstained robe, and helped the shaky boy out of the operating tent.

The most serious and critically injured were all treated as properly as possible.

As for the remaining lightly injured, the other soldiers also understood the disinfection and bandaging procedures that he had repeatedly ordered in the past, and there was no need for everyone to be overly troubled by Corvis's personal treatment.

"You've worked hard, go back and rest." Leon looked at Corvis, who couldn't even stand steadily, and quickly called the soldiers to bring the warhorse.

"Well, thank you for your trouble, my lord. I can't stand it anymore. I'll sleep for a while."

The boy swayed and leaned against Leon, closing his eyes with peace of mind.

Leon looked down at his reliable partner who finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep standing up, and patted his little brother's shoulder with gratitude.

In today's battle, Corvis played a great role. His role was not just to hold the flag. Without the magic power he provided today, not only could he not summon the powerful ancient Yanyang Guards to break the formation alone, but he could not maintain the boiling state and fight to the death with the powerful Wolf Knight named Canis.

It is impossible for me and Olivia to force a breakthrough of so many heavy cavalry, plus three knights of military honor, to complete the feat of capturing a general alone.

To be honest, considering Garron as a trump card in this crisis is also a big gamble.

Leon knew that the ancient guards who turned into heroes should be very strong, but he had no idea how strong they were.

He just used the ancient memory of the summoning as a standard and guessed that he might be able to take a chance.

After all, the ancient dead souls who turned into heroes will not die a second time anyway. Even if they cannot fight, the spirits will be defeated by the heavy cavalry charge, which is at most the return of the dead soul. Therefore, Leon has no guilt in letting him face the strong enemy and take the bullet for himself.

Of course, now it seems that he still underestimated the power of the ancient wizard guards.

If it weren't for the fact that the magic power of himself and Corvis combined could only last for a few seconds, if the time was enough, the ancestor of the Faroris family thousands of years ago, relying on martial arts and that powerful armor and weapons, could kill through the army of the wolf leader alone.

Tsk tsk, it's so terrifying, so terrifying. Fortunately, when I met it in the forest, it had no malice when it turned into a zombie, otherwise.

Riding on the warhorse, escorting the drowsy boy all the way back to the camp, Leon found that during the time when he helped Corvis rescue the wounded, there was actually a large group of Faroris red-robed soldiers in Longcane.

Reinforcements?

Hurrying to the village house, Leon helped the boy down and walked quickly into the open first-floor hall.

At the big meeting table, he saw a familiar face. It was Knight Marcello who was stationed at Wachterburg. Next to him was an officer from the baggage camp whom he had seen in the past. Sir Redo was talking to them.

"I'm ashamed, Lord Leon. I led my troops to come at full speed as soon as I got the news, but I still couldn't catch up with the battle." Marcello bowed and apologized.

"Don't blame yourself. You are bringing infantry after all. You came fast enough."

Leon shook his head. He asked everyone to wait for a while, and then went upstairs to carry the exhausted Corvis back to the room to rest.

Moving the griffin cub occupying the bed aside and putting the boy down, Leon rubbed the little griffin that was curiously looking at him before leaving.

"Listen, be quiet and don't make noise. Don't disturb your daddy's rest, understand?"

After jokingly instructing the fat chick, Leon opened the window for ventilation, then turned and went downstairs to meet the reinforcements coming from Wachter and Selva.

Sir Marcelo and the officers of the baggage camp each brought two squadrons of Faroris soldiers to support, four squadrons, a total of 200 elite infantry.

They arrived in Longka one after another almost immediately after the Wolf Army retreated and the Longka defenders began to clean up the battlefield.

Listening to the arrival of the reinforcements, Leon silently reviewed the battle in his mind and replayed the battle he had just experienced.

In today's battle, if the Wolf Knight named Canis refused to surrender and killed him, then even if his own front line collapsed, or even if he took a step back and was besieged and killed by the revengeful Wolf Cavalry after killing Canis, this battle would still be fought.

The Wolf Army, which was at the end of its strength, could not necessarily defeat the Faroris elite brought by Knight Marcelo and his men, even if the militia on the north bank was included.

The situation on the Faroris side was much better than he expected in the previous battle.

Of course, if the battle continued like that, the losses of Selva, Longka, and Pletton would be too heavy.

According to the rough estimate of the wounded soldiers rescued on the battlefield before, the number of casualties in this battle is close to one-fifth, not counting the wounded. If the number of wounded is taken into account, the defenders have 30% to 40% casualties.

If the battle continues, even if Farolis can finally win after the reinforcements arrive, the three territories will definitely be finished.

". You really deserve the square flag title granted by Lord Elliver. You actually captured the young master of the Gunnar family on the battlefield. Now, I think that group of jumping dogs will not dare to harass the Thorn Flower Territory again in the short term.

By the way, you have to be prepared to negotiate with the envoys they sent. If there is no experienced censor, you can write a letter to ask Lord Elliver's castle to send someone to deal with it. You have to kill a lot of gold crowns from the Wolf family." Marcelo smiled.

He had heard from his colleagues who had returned from the frontline that Canis of the Gunnar family had performed very bravely on the battlefield of Mamor, killing no less than five well-known knights of the Order of Arms of Kantadar and personally killing more than a hundred enemies.

He had never expected that the other party would be defeated in front of the small village of Longka and fall into the hands of the equally young and brave Lord Pendragon.

"Young Master? Is he the heir of the Wolf family?" Leon was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, sir, Canis is the eldest son of Baron Gunnar." Sir Redo nodded and replied.

Leon couldn't help sweating slightly in his heart.

Fortunately, the guy didn't refuse to surrender, otherwise it would be unnecessary to kill the heir of the Wolf family and make a deadly feud with Baron Gunnar, whom he had never met.

But on second thought, he couldn't help but expect that the heir of a big baron family must have a lot of money.

The danger of Longka has been resolved, but Knight Marcelo and others are not in a hurry to leave. First, they are on guard against the enemy's return attack, and second, the west of Longka, which has just experienced a battle, also urgently needs a lot of manpower to clean up the battlefield.

The armor and weapons of the fallen soldiers were collected uniformly, and all the valuable things on the enemy were stripped clean.

The bodies of the enemies, except for the fallen wolf cavalry and a knight who were waiting for their families to redeem them, were transported to the wild and buried on the spot.

The victims of the three lords, except for the local Longka archers and infantry, were also identified by their respective villagers and sent back to their hometowns not far away for burial as soon as possible.

Ten soldiers of the Duwanna halberd phalanx were killed, and a knight attendant brought by Sir Redo was unfortunately killed in the battle with the wolf cavalry.

Two of the four Pleton riders organized before the war were killed and two were injured.

These four cavalrymen from the wealthy families of Plyton did not shrink from the battle, so according to the prior agreement, the families of the dead will receive a considerable pension as a reward for their bravery.

The two who survived, while receiving the bounty, also got the opportunity to pledge allegiance to Lohak and Azerien, and could choose to become their knight attendants.

What comforted Leon was that among his companions, except for Azerien's arm, which was slightly injured, the others were like himself, except for the bruises that were inevitable in the battle, and they were all fine.

And none of his heavy armored guards died, except for the three Zabron who were in the front row to meet the cavalry charge. Even with the physical toughness enhancement of the boiling heart, they still suffered considerable internal injuries and slight fractures, and needed some time to recover.

It seems that compared with ordinary soldiers with thin armor, the elite with comprehensive protection and heavy armor, as long as they are not facing powerful knights directly, have a very low death rate.

As the sun was setting, Leon followed Old Brian on the high slope after the battle and looked around the battlefield.

Listening to his centurion's report on the general situation of the army, he then asked another question that he was extremely concerned about now.

"Have you counted all the spoils?"

"We have a rough number. Excluding the horses that were too seriously injured, we captured two high-quality war horses and fifteen ordinary cavalry horses.

Two sets of knight plate armor, one of which had a pierced breastplate, and fifteen sets of heavy cavalry armor."
