V1.Chapter 95

    The casualties in this war were not small. 274 Greek heavy infantry were killed, and most of them were soldiers who stayed in the front line. They bear the full impact of the wolf cavalry, they are fearless warriors, with life in exchange for victory!


    Except for the Greek heavy infantry, there were almost no casualties in other arms. At most, they were wounded.


    Nearly 600 dead jackals were left on the ground, most of which were forced to dismount after the war. Because of the failure to cut the infantry line and limited space, the Jackal cavalry had to step down to fight, which led them to confront the Greek square with Spartan heavy infantry as the core. Without the bonus of charge, the strength advantage of jackals begins to be weakened. After all, they are not the advanced jackals whose physique is far superior to their peers. As ordinary male jackals, they have no advantage over the Greek heavy infantry.


    In fact, the real casualties of jackals are definitely more than that.


    The casualties of the Jackal cavalry during the frontal charge were very few, less than two or three hundred. The real scale casualties were when they were forced to step down and break up. When they lose the courage to break up, it means that they have to run 200 meters as fast as possible under the shooting of nearly 2600 archers. Almost after the jackals broke up, the jackals who had their backs exposed to the archers began to suffer mass casualties.


    According to Lady Elizabeth''s plan, the arrows were all poisoned.


    Therefore, those jackal cavalry who have not died immediately after being hit by the arrow will have their whole blood surging in the process of escape, and send the toxin to the heart!


    After dressing the wound, Murphy ordered the soldiers to send the wounded to the rear.


    Then gather the militiamen as reserves to continue to build fortifications. Murphy was a little dizzy because of the blood loss. After he handed over the task of building the fortifications to general Marcus Kane, he sat alone in the wagon and pondered. The Knights of the general''s guard guard stood by him silently and did not dare to let anyone disturb Murphy''s thinking.


    The casualties are far greater than expected!


    Although Murphy knew that there would not be too many wolf cavalry among jackals, the crux of the problem was that this time the wolf cavalry took it lightly and forced to charge the Greek infantry square, and it was still in such a narrow canyon.


    If they''re in the plains, if they have infantry!


    Then, these wolf cavalry are a group of terrible enemies!


    Now what Murphy is really worried about is not whether he can defend the canyon or not. There is a saying in China that "there are no three-thirds, I dare not go to Liangshan". Since Murphy has come, naturally he has some assurance in his heart. What he really worried about was whether the army of the human city-state could arrive at the canyon in two days. If the army of the human city-state cannot arrive within two days, the holy water made by the temple will be ineffective.


    At that time, Murphy''s casualties were far greater than they are now!


    The zangara mountains are connected to the karazan mountains, the former extending from the southern plain to the southern wilderness, and the latter spanning almost half a continent.


    In the interior of these two mountains, there is an open and fertile plain area, which is also the foundation of human development.


    Murphy is not very clear about the cavalry formed by the human city states in the southern plains.


    But if there are not enough heavy cavalry to contain these jackal cavalry, I''m afraid they will be suppressed in the battle of the plains.


    The real difference is not in combat effectiveness.


    It''s the ordinary soldier''s fear of these giant wolves!


    Now Murphy can only hope that in this extremely difficult world, the nobles of the human city-state have not been completely corrupted by the power and the government. At least they have the courage to fight with the enemy! Live up to the glory of their forefathers!


    It seems that because of the baptism of blood, Mrs. Elizabeth has grown up a lot.


    At least she now knows to follow Murphy honestly, instead of meddling in other things. Even if there are some suggestions, she knows to ask Murphy for advice before making a decision.


    Casualties are mainly concentrated in the first front, with the powerful therapeutic effect of holy water. It is estimated that many wounded soldiers will be able to recover their combat effectiveness tomorrow.


    Without Murphy''s command, the soldiers consciously cut off the head of the Jackal and piled it together.


    The wolf''s body has been collected, and some soldiers are skinning to collect the bloody fur. If this battle is won, these fur will bring a lot of income after being processed. And the wolf meat was cut into pieces, ready to stew as food at night, to supplement nutrition for the soldiers. The wolf''s corpses are about 500, nearly 1.5 meters in height, which is as high as a hill. It can be said that because of this, soldiers at least don''t have to worry about meat in the next few days. The bodies of five hundred giant wolves are enough for them to eat meat.


    It must be mentioned that wolf meat is delicious.


    It''s a little bit worse than dog meat.


    It lasted until about five o''clock in the afternoon.


    It was already a little dim, and the sun was half set.


    The basic fortifications, including sandbags and horses, have been completed. The soldiers are resting and the rest of the work will be left for tomorrow after the day. The militiamen in charge of logistics are preparing food. Hundreds of cooking stoves have been set up in the gorge. Two hundred wolf carcasses have been cleared out. The barbarians employ military skilled techniques to peel and bone them, cut them into pieces of wolf meat, and throw them into big pots to stew.


    Soon the fragrance overflows!


    On average, each wolf with a weight of nearly four or five hundred kilograms is enough to feed 10000 people.


    With a large number of troops, eating is also a problem.


    You can only cook in batches.


    Murphy''s appetite was not very good tonight. He ordered the Knights of the general guard to set up a bonfire beside the tent, and then cut off the fattest part of the wolf''s body, put on a thin iron bar, and baked it on the bonfire.


    The material of this era is very poor.


    In fact, the stewed food tastes average, because it''s basically just salty.


    The only thing to be thankful for is that there are at least peppers and a plant similar to cumin.


    This plant comes from the high elves and is one of their main seasonings.


    It is said that there are still a small group of humanoid people called "halflings" who are proficient in cooking and are born gourmets and chefs.


    Halfling Murphy has never met, so it''s hard to imagine.


    However, it is estimated that it should be a relatively short human, and the difference in appearance should not be too big.


    "Almost burnt..." Mrs. Elizabeth looked at Murphy, who was slightly distracted, and cautioned carefully.


    "Well? Well Murphy turned over the wolf meat and sprinkled salt and seasoning again. Murphy''s barbecue technique is average. In his previous life, he only barbecued a few chicken wings occasionally, but he still knew how to cut a few scratches with a knife before barbecue.


    After sprinkled with cumin like seasoning used by the elves, it tastes delicious.


    This is a special sauce prepared by the chef for Murphy. It''s only a small bag. Ordinary soldiers, including general riodary, only have salt. Add a little pepper at most. The price of this exotic cumin is about equal to the same volume of silver, which is a very expensive seasoning.


    The meat is a little big.


    It''s been baked for a long time. It''s slightly burnt outside, but it''s not well done inside.


    But it''s delicious.


    Murphy had to take the shelf off, cut the meat again, and put it on again.


    Goo Goo


    Murphy heard someone''s tummy growling. He looked at Mrs. Elizabeth, who was blushing slightly in front of him, and asked, "hungry?"


    "Well." Elizabeth rarely nodded her head cleverly, without her former strong side.


    Murphy drank a bowl of wolf blood after the battle, so he was not hungry.


    So he baked it slowly.


    But Lady Elizabeth is different. As a woman, she can''t swallow the smelly wolf blood. So from noon until now, she has been hungry, but because of face did not say it.


    "Would you like something else first?" Murphy looked at Mrs. Elizabeth and was about to signal the general''s bodyguard to get some gravy first.


    "No more." Lady Elizabeth shook her head. Her eyes fell on the golden roast ribs of the wolf, which were dripping oil. She could not help but swallow her saliva and whispered, "I''m not very hungry yet."


    A woman of duplicity.


    Murphy shook his head and waved to the general''s bodyguard to bring him two bowls of broth.


    Then, he went on with his barbecue.


    A lot of thinking makes him feel a little headache. He needs to relax a little and rearrange his mind.


    If the army of the human city cannot arrive in two days.


    What should he do?


    It was until a slimming figure in a long, narrow gray cloak came to him.


    "Can I have some?" The voice was a little hoarse. After that, the figure in the gray cloak squatted in front of the campfire with a sword in his hand, staring at the wolf platoon with big eyes and swallowing: "this looks delicious."


    It''s the one around the magicians.


    What a strange guy?


    Murphy looked up at him curiously. His face was thin, his nose was small, his skin was very white, and the lines of his face tended to be feminine, but he could see the masculinity of a small number of men. The eyes are very big. The pupil is a very rare emerald green. Murphy has only seen this kind of pupil in the Elf Ranger who saved himself once. The fingers are thin, and the skin is a little transparent, as if you can see the cyan blood vessels.


    The guy''s cloak was so long that it almost covered half of his face. Murphy could only see a few strands of long golden hair. It is said that the blood lineage comes from ancient human heroes.


    This person has a light fragrance. The taste is a little special, but it smells good.


    In this world, quite a large part of noble men are using perfume and powder, and Murphy can not understand the gender of each other for a time.


    The man didn''t care. Murphy was staring at him, and his eyes were always on the roast wolf.


    After a moment, he poked Murphy with his finger and said, "Hello, who is that! Is the meat ready to eat? "


    Murphy was stunned, then nodded.


    With that, the man, regardless of Murphy, took it down by himself and was not afraid of scalding it. He blew it and ate it.


    The man ate delicately, but quickly.


    Almost as soon as Murphy shared the roast with Mrs. Elizabeth, he had finished eating and began to take the second piece.


    "Strange guy?" Lady Elizabeth glanced at him with a slight frown.


    It''s kind of strange.


    However, Murphy was not too surprised that the magician was accompanied by one or two people with special habits.


    In fact, barbecue is much more troublesome than cooking other foods, because it requires a higher temperature, and Murphy can''t be sliced and roasted on a campfire like barbecue in previous lives. Don''t think about it. It will be scorched in a few minutes. After tossing about for a long time, he was a little hungry. He took a piece and bit it in his mouth. The taste was just right, at least it was ripe


    "Well. I''m full The man seems to be of small build, but he has a big appetite.


    Most of the wolf meat that Murphy roasted was put into his stomach. He didn''t know how he digested it. He didn''t even have a bump on his stomach.


    He raised his hand and touched his belly. The man stood up with a satisfied face, and then his eyes fell on Murphy.


    Emerald green eyes, as if with a special charm, when his eyes fell on Murphy, he would have a strange feeling of being peeped at. This made Murphy look up uncomfortably to meet his eyes.


    "Why? What a strange fellow The man looked at Murphy, but first said what Murphy wanted to say.


    He patted the dust on his buttocks. Before, he ate it directly on the ground. Then he took it out of his wide cloak. After touching it for a long time, he took out a black covered parchment book and threw it in front of Murphy. Then he said, "this thing is for you."


    "Your swordsmanship is terrible!" The man pointed to the chief priests of war who were eating meat, and continued: "the barbarian fighting style is not suitable for you."


    barbarian?


    Murphy was stunned, and then looked at the tall, dark, iron tower like chief priests of the God of war.


    The man said, regardless of whether Murphy heard it or not, dropped the book and went straight away.


    However, when he left, he quietly took away the expensive cumin like seasoning that Murphy had put by the campfire.


    "Poor swordsmanship?"


    Murphy picked up the parchment and read out the three words.


    In this era, papermaking appeared ahead of time, but it was not invented by human beings, but by high elves. Even so, the spread of knowledge was very slow, and ordinary farmers and poor people could only write their own names to the greatest extent. Now commonly used is a kind of paper similar to the previous life of straw paper, which should be thicker. Only nobles can afford to use parchment.


    The font on the parchment is neat, it seems that some years ago, slightly yellow.


    Murphy flipped through a few pages and found that the contents were not too profound. It''s twelve sword holding postures, plus some scattered words. It''s a bit similar to the so-called martial arts secret script, but the appearance is a little poor.


    At least the name is not loud at all.


    To be honest, Murphy is not very interested in this kind of knightly swordsmanship.


    If he was really allowed to choose, he would prefer the fighting style of the chief priests of war.


    However, this is obviously impossible. As the Lord of Athens, he can really fight in person. And neither the general guard nor the Temple priests will allow him to go to the battlefield in person. Unless he sticks to it, like he does today. After flipping, Murphy, who was not very interested in knightly swordsmanship, looked at Mrs. Elizabeth, handed the parchment book to her and said, "haven''t you learned a little knightly swordsmanship? Take it back and study, study. "


    "That man looks like he''s very powerful."


    Lady Elizabeth was stunned when she took the parchment, and then her face was a little complicated.


    After a moment, she nodded resolutely and stopped talking.


    The wind blew through the canyon and the bonfire went out a few times.


    At this time, it was already dark. General riodari was arranging for the soldiers to camp in turn. Because it was still autumn, the weather was warm. There was no need to set up a tent. Just spread some cushions on the ground to sleep. Nearly ten thousand people crowded together, but there is no need to worry about the cold.


    By this time, the general''s guard had set up a tent specially for Murphy.


    "Go to sleep. Tomorrow, the army of jackals should be here With that, Murphy clapped her hands to get up.


    Lady Elizabeth nodded, but said nothing.


    When Murphy reached the tent door, she murmured, "thank you."


    Unfortunately, Murphy didn''t hear.
