Lord of Hyranza

Chapter 1 Prologue
As the deafening screams of killing faded away, corpses lay scattered on the battlefield on the north slope of the forest farm in northern Handanall.

The mulch in this woodland is extremely soft, and three thunder rhinos carrying heavy military supplies slowly walked down the hillside, leaving three rows of huge footprints between the forest roads opened by hundreds of loggers in the forest farm. Nearly 20 meters long and more than nine meters tall, the Thunder Rhino looks more like a three-masted sailing ship on land. Each Thunder Rhino is covered with various supplies.

These thunder rhinos have four sturdy thighs, and with each step, their cumbersome hooves sink deep into the soft dirt.The footprints were more than one meter in diameter and half a meter deep, and they looked like a horse trap designed to prevent cavalry from charging.

A group of soldiers wearing metal armor followed Thunder Rhinoceros. They belonged to the infantry of the Fourth Battalion of the Seventh Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment under the Duke of Newman. They withdrew from the front line a week ago. Clean up the battlefield on the north slope.

The cleaning of the battlefield should be attributed to Baron Sidney, the captain of the Fourth Battalion. If he were not the younger brother of the wife of the infantry regiment commander, this kind of good job of cleaning the battlefield would never have happened to the infantry of the Fourth Battalion. The corpses of the soldiers were uniformly carried to the corpse truck. The armor and weapons on their bodies were all stamped with the steel stamp of the 57th Infantry Regiment, which belonged to the property registered on the Infantry Regiment's material list.

The damaged ordnance can be repaired, and those that cannot be repaired can be replaced at the logistics office, but when cleaning the battlefield, there is no way to take these equipment as trophies. Not the mercenaries of the legion headquarters or the private army of the local noble lords.

The nameplate of each dead soldier's body is removed, which means that the soldier is officially killed, and the nameplate will be sent to the soldier's hometown along with the fallen soldier's personal belongings and a pension.

The only thing that can make the soldiers who clean the battlefield gain oil and water is to search for the property of the dead enemies on the battlefield.

After the soldiers on the front line kill the enemy, the most valuable parts of the enemy's head and body will be collected by the soldiers on the front line, followed by some auxiliary soldiers who will search for a round on the battlefield. By the time the infantry regiment was cleaning the battlefield, it was already the third or even the fourth round. The benefits that could be obtained from the enemy were not many, but there would still be a lot of valuable things if you searched carefully.

This time, the legions that fought against the Hell Demon Legion on the north slope of the forest farm are the Fourth and Seventh Constructed Knights under Duke Newman, the Seventh Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment and the Nine Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment of Brothers. Duke Newman is in this area At the edge of the forest, nearly a thousand armored knights and nearly [-] heavy armored infantry were assembled, just to be able to swallow this search team of less than [-] evil spirits in one go.

At the beginning of the battle, under the rain of steel arrows after the longbowmen of the heavy armored infantry regiment fired a salvo, three hundred evil spirits were surrounded by thousands of construct knights. While bit by bit nibbling away at these evil spirits, they did not expect that another evil spirit that was wandering nearby received a distress signal and rushed over quickly.

The Seventh Constructed Knights pursued along the way, leaving hundreds of demon corpses on the road.

……

Several vultures hovered constantly above the blue sky and the blank clouds, and the smell of horse dung was mixed in the soil.

Surdak carried a square shield on his back, a steel axe with an ebony handle on his waist, and a bulging hemp sack on his shoulders. The blood-soaked sack seemed to be very heavy. Every step left a deep footprint on the soft mulch of the woodland.

Others in the team are carrying the corpses of human soldiers on the battlefield. After the team leader confirms the death of these corpses, experienced veterans will tidy up the remains, and all the amputated limbs and arms scattered elsewhere will be picked up. Pieced together and wrapped in linen into a mummy-like shape, the identity cards and valuable relics of the fallen soldiers will be put into uniform linen pockets, and the bodies will be tied together and transported back to the camp.

Perhaps it was because of the work of cleaning up the battlefield so much that every veteran's face became a little numb.

Veteran Sam would say something like 'You are dust, and you will return to dust after death...' when wrapping the body, these words are not to comfort the souls of the deceased, but more to comfort themselves.

Surdak sounds a little tired, but his task of cleaning the battlefield is not to deal with these dead human warriors. As the only soldier in the squad who masters skinning skills, Surdak is responsible for collecting the evil spirits on the battlefield. down the corpse.

Although the extremely precious black-patterned demon skin on the heads and chests of these evil spirits was cut off, there are still many valuable materials on these corpses, and these parts need to be handled by warriors with skinning experience like Surdak.

Less than 20 meters away from Suldak lay the corpse of a three-meter-tall evil ghost. The dark purple blood on his body had been completely solidified, and the wound on his neck seemed to have been struck by a mountain axe. Although it is not neat, there are no more traces of beheading. It is obvious that an experienced warrior chopped off the head of the evil spirit and took it away.

Surdak held a bloody horn knife in his hand, and cut open the cloth armor woven from some unknown material on the corpse of the evil spirit, revealing iron-blue shoulders, the size of a slap along the muscle texture of the shoulders. The black enhancement magic pattern.

Surdak breathed a sigh of relief, secretly begging for his own luck. He actually harvested five pieces of this small black-patterned magic skin along the way. He squatted down and carefully cut the skin that was tougher than raw cowhide with a knife. The devil's skin is only one inch long, and the horns and sharp knives can no longer cut it.

Surdak could only pull out the knife, took out a fist-sized whetstone from his arms, and sharpened it twice on the blade, and then it was much easier to cut the skin.

The blade of this knife is running out. Every time Surdak sharpens the knife, he will be very careful. In order to prolong the life of this skinning knife, this skinning knife needs to be sent to the blacksmith for repair. The blacksmiths on the side are of average craftsmanship, and the maintenance fees charged are very expensive. Surdak plans to return the legion to the town of Handanar and find a small blacksmith shop in the town, which can save at least three silver coins.

Surdak's hands were stained with dark purple viscous blood, he put the bloody black-patterned demon skin in his pocket, and continued to search for other valuable materials on the corpse of this headless demon, with a large black on his back. The patterned demon skin has been peeled off, but unfortunately the black pattern on the evil spirit's buttocks has not been fully formed, and has not formed a complete pattern.

He grabbed one arm of the demon's corpse with both hands, trying to turn it over completely, so that the demon's chest and abdomen were facing the sky.

But the corpse was too heavy, and he could only greet Sam, a veteran who was carrying the corpse not far away: "Hey, I said buddy, come and help me, I want to turn this big guy over, maybe his belly There will be a complete black magic pattern..."

Sam's face was covered with brown freckles, and when he laughed, he would show rotten teeth. He put down the roll of linen in his hand, and walked over to Surdak carelessly, saying, "Dak, haven't you slept yet? Are you awake? If there are magic lines on the abdomen, this evil ghost will not be lying in the mud like this."

Although Sam complained to Surdak in a playful tone, his footsteps did not stop, he went straight to the corpse of the evil ghost, hugged one leg of the corpse of the evil ghost, and helped Surdak turn the body of the evil spirit over. come over.

A large piece of the devil's skin on the evil spirit's chest was cut off, the blood between the chest and abdomen, and even a few broken ribs protruded from the fascia, exuding a disgusting stench, Surdak's eyes were filled with blood. The corpse of the evil spirit was attracted, and he didn't notice the strangeness around him at all.

Sam on the side loosened the sturdy thighs of the corpse of the evil spirit, pointed to the human being pressed by the evil spirit on the ground, and said in surprise, "Oh my God, who is this?"

He instinctively stepped forward, stretched out his hand to lift the man's face buried in the mud, and when he touched the man's stubble chin, his eyes widened and he couldn't wait to shout to the surrounding: "He It seems that there is still breathing, come on, there is a living..."

The soldiers of the second team scattered in other places heard Sam's cry, quickly put down what they were doing, and ran to this side quickly.

The man had only a faint breath, and everyone stood around the survivor's body and said in a loud voice, "He's not wearing a military uniform, he doesn't seem to be one of us."

"So where did he come from?" Another young warrior with a scar on his face asked curiously, half squatting on the ground.

……wake up……
