Extraordinary Profession: I Awakened Lord

Chapter 123 Heavy casualties
Chaoge City.

The light yellow afterglow slowly faded, and the dark ink gradually swept into the sky, and the stars slowly emerged from the water, spreading their starlight to the world.

At this time, under Chaoge City, there was a smoke-filled atmosphere, there were deep and uneven pits everywhere, and thousands of corpses were scattered everywhere, and streams of fishy blood flowed everywhere on this spring-filled land.

"quack!"

Three or two crows stood on the dense branches, their scarlet eyes staring strangely at the corpses below, and they made a few harsh sounds from time to time.

"Lord, you haven't rested all day and night. Why don't you go back and rest? Judging from today's battle, the orcs are expected to give up on capturing Chaoge City."

An Geshi walked over with a tired expression. He looked at Yin Zhao who was motionless, and said in a rather worried tone.

"It's okay! I'm not in a hurry to wait for a while! After all, I've survived a day and a night, so why would I care about this little time. But you, Angeshi, you'd better go back and rest!"

Yin Zhao, whose face was covered with dust, turned his head, looked at the blood stains on An Geshi's body, and said with some worry.

Although Angoshi is a hero, this does not mean that Angoshi is made of iron and does not need rest. Angoshi is both a human being and a hero, but he also needs rest. He will still feel pain when he is injured and needs rest. .

Yin Zhao survived the war for a day and a night, but An Geshi persisted no less than Yin Zhao, or even longer than Yin Zhao.

Because he was lazy, he delegated many things to An Geshi and the others. Therefore, An Geshi not only had to command the troops to fight against the orc army, but also needed to deal with some matters related to Chaoge City.

Therefore, Yin Zhao knew that An Geshi was more tired than himself and needed rest more.

As a result, not long after Yin Zhao's words had passed, he heard Luo Fu's cold voice ringing in his ears.

"If you really can't bear it, go back and rest. We are still on the battlefield! It's not like without you, the orcs will come in and suffer the consequences!"

After An Geshi finished listening, a smile appeared on his silent face.

And Fei Yeti covered her mouth and snickered, she looked at Yin Zhao for a while, and glanced at Luo Fu secretly, she looked like a fool.

Yin Zhao smiled awkwardly, scratched his hair, looked at Luo Fu who was concerned, and said with a sneer:
"I didn't! I just wanted to see if the beasts would come, otherwise I wouldn't be able to let go. Even if I go back, I wouldn't be able to sleep!"

After listening to Yin Zhao's explanation, Luo Fu's face looked better. She snorted coldly and said:

"It probably won't come. Just watch it for a while and then go back and rest. We are still here and we won't let the beasts come in!"

After speaking, Luo Fu left here briskly.And Fei Yeti covered her mouth, and after dismissing Yin Zhao with a coquettish smile, she started to follow Luo Fu and left here.

After a while, only An Geshi with a calm face and Yin Zhao with a sly smile were left here.

This scene was embarrassing for a while, but how could it be difficult for him, Yin Zhao? If it weren't for the fear that An Geshi was thin-skinned and couldn't bear it, he, Yin Zhao, could have continued to be so embarrassed. After all, he was not the one who boasted about his face. He Yin has never lost.

However, An Geshi was still there after all, and for the sake of his subordinates' feelings, Yin Zhao quickly found a topic to break the toe-snapping atmosphere.

"How many casualties are there today?"

Listening to his lord's questions, An Geshi quickly calmed down. After thinking for a while, he said in a heavy tone:
"As of today just before night, there have been nearly 700 casualties, including 320 people dead, 210 five seriously injured, and 150 eight lightly injured."

After Yin Zhao heard this number, he gradually fell silent. Today's battle was the most brutal near night, because the orc army never attacked Chaoge City in the first half.

And just as night was approaching, at about 06:30, the orc soldiers, who had no idea what was wrong with them, poured in frantically towards the song city. Even among the archers, crossbowmen, giant crossbows, magicians, and even Under the threat of the magic ballista, they still moved forward bravely. This behavior of not fearing death directly shocked Yin Zhao at the time.

Under this charge that was not afraid of death, the orc army quickly rushed to the foot of Chaoge City. They set up a ladder and climbed up with all their strength.

Even though the defenders of Chaoge City relied on a large number of falling rocks and rough wood, they still could not stop the crazy orc soldiers.

Fortunately, Yin Zhao had been prepared. After a large number of elite soldiers took action, these crazy orc soldiers either died on the city wall or were forced to retreat again.

At the most critical moment, the Orc soldiers almost completely occupied this section of the city wall. Fortunately, groups of heavy cavalry rushed over and gave Yin Zhao a chance to breathe.Otherwise, it is estimated that Chaoge City will fall today.

The ability to push back the orc soldiers again did not rely entirely on the elite soldiers defending the city. Instead, after an hour and a half, the morale of these orc soldiers faded away. They were no longer as crazy as before, and their combat effectiveness also dropped to the level.

In short, in the past, a fully armed elite soldier could fight at most one brave orc soldier, but just now, an elite soldier could easily kill four or five orc soldiers, and some soldiers even completed a Pick Ten feat.

It can be said that the front is very tragic and the back is very peaceful.

However, the losses suffered are undoubtedly a huge number for Yin Zhao today.

Yin Zhao knew that the battle would be tragic and the losses would be huge, but the level of tragedy was far beyond his imagination.

In less than two hours, he had lost nearly [-] troops. If this happened a few more times, would his huge Chaoge City still have soldiers to defend the city?

no!no!The reinforcements from the Frankish Kingdom must be urged again, otherwise they will all die before the reinforcements arrive.

But he built this Chaoge City from scratch bit by bit. If he gave up and let this group of arrogant and ignorant orcs who only know how to fight take over, he could now imagine the future of Chaoge City. Looks good.

Besides, without Chaoge City, how could Yin Zhao negotiate terms with the greedy nobles of the Frankish Kingdom?Chaoge City is where he, Yin, is established. If he loses these, he will be sucked dry by those greedy nobles in minutes.

The last and most important thing is that he is a lord and it seems that he cannot leave Chaoge City.If this city is occupied, then his game will be over.

However, if it was just occupied by the orcs, it would be fine. But as soon as Yin Zhao leaves, the extraordinary beings of the orc tribe will definitely come out to destroy his lord's sacred stone.

Therefore, Yin Zhao cannot leave Chaoge City.Too dangerous.

"No, the casualties are too great, we must find a way!"

Yin Zhao looked at the battlefield below, with a look of anxiety in his eyes.

"Didn't you say that the orcs should retreat tomorrow?"

An Geshi asked with some doubts.Because Yin Zhao and the others had predicted before that if the Orcs had not captured Xia Chaoge City after today's battle, they would most likely send their troops straight to the border of the Frankish Kingdom.

"This is just speculation, not fact! Besides, we don't know what the commander of the beast tribe is thinking. We can only ask ourselves for the most tragic situation!"

Yin Zhao spoke slowly. After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at An Geshi, and then continued:

"Besides, the recent tactical arrangement makes me doubt the minds of the orc commanders. If they really want to fight us to the death, what can we do? Can we still persuade them to lead the troops straight to the border of the kingdom? Although According to normal logic, the time of the orcs is running out, and there is a high probability that they will lead the army to attack the border of the kingdom, but you must know that they are not normal?"

"It's true! The orcs are difficult for the wise, and there are more fools! According to today's situation, they may have really angered them. Maybe they will continue to fight with us to the death!"

An Geshi nodded and said with understanding.After all, that reckless man of the orc clan is full of anger and recklessness in his head. If he really makes up his mind to carry on with Chaoge City, it is a matter of high probability. Now it depends on the methods of the commander of the orc clan. I can suppress those reckless men.

If it can be suppressed, it is good to say that it can leave Chaoge City with a chance to breathe. If it cannot be suppressed, then Yin Zhao and the others have to consider the issue of reinforcements.

What an annoyance!

Yin Zhao felt a surge of anger in his heart. He didn't want to entrust his comfort to others, but the situation he faced now forced him to do so.

"So, tonight, my lord, you have to watch here. If the orcs don't attack at night tonight, then there is a high probability that they will lead their troops down to the border of the Frankish Kingdom tomorrow, and if they attack at night tonight If so, then get ready tomorrow! The most brutal war will continue!"

When An Geshi was asked by Yin Zhao, he understood the reason why Yin Zhao didn't go back to rest, because he wanted to know the attitude of the orcs and then prepare for the next plan.

Take one step, count one step.

It's a pity that it's a bit too consuming for the lord.

Thinking of this, An Geshi looked at Yin Zhao, looking at his lord's blood-stained appearance, and a feeling of admiration rose in his heart unconsciously.

"Well! How can I sleep without knowing the attitude of the orcs!"

Yin Zhao blew the cool night breeze and said irritably.

And at this moment, Axel walked over with a tired expression.

Because there were too many injured near night, Asel led a group of Holy Light priests and worked for several hours before they were done.

As soon as Asel finished his work, he ran to the city wall because he wanted to explain the specific situation to Yin Zhao.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Yin Zhao woke up suddenly. He quickly turned his head to look, only to find that Axel was coming, so he patted his chest quickly, calmed down his emotions, and said helplessly:
"Assel, you're here! You scared me to death. Who did I think you were! Why did you make no sound when you walked!"

Listening to his lord's complaints, Asel was not angry, because he was the Holy Light of God. He must have a broad mind and his kind and kind face to be the real Holy Light of God.

"It's not that I don't make any noise when I walk, it's just that Lord Lord and Angeshi were too absorbed in thinking about things, so you didn't notice that I was here!"

Listening to Asel's explanation, Angoshi smiled bitterly, and then said hello to Asel.The two are both in the Holy Light Formation, so they are relatively familiar with each other.

Yin Zhao didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he asked eagerly:
"By the way, Asel! What are the specific casualties?"

After Asel was silent for a while, he replied in a hoarse voice:

"The situation is not good! Of the 210 seriously injured people, only 82 people were injured. The remaining 130 three people were not rescued and all died! And the 82 people who were rescued are all disabled and will find it difficult to take care of themselves in the future. As for the 150 eight people with minor injuries, it’s not a big deal and they only need to rest for a few months and they will be fine!”

"Whoo~"

Yin Zhao took a deep breath, and then spit it out for a long time. He felt very uncomfortable, and his face gradually darkened. He thought that no matter how heavy the casualties were, he would stabilize his emotions and not be sad.

It's a pity that humans are not grass and trees, so how can we be ruthless?Those soldiers who sacrificed their lives all died fighting for this Chaoge City. If Yin Zhao had grown older or experienced such battles a few more times, he might have slowly become numb.

But he didn't, he was still young, and he had just come into contact with this kind of battle situation, so he would be worried and sad. Maybe Yin Zhao wouldn't be worried about this kind of thing in the future, but at least now he is still a person of flesh and blood. young lord.

"grown ups……"

An Geshi saw Yin Zhao's discomfort, and he quickly opened his mouth to say something, but those words of comfort could not come out, and in the end he just uttered the word "Sir".

"Huh!" "I'm fine. Bury all the soldiers who died in the cemetery, and take good care of those who were slightly injured. I don't want to hear the news that they died due to various reasons, understand!"

Yin Zhao put his hands on the cold city wall, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said in a sad tone.

"Yes! I'll do it now!"

An Geshi responded quickly. Just when he was about to handle the matter, Yin Zhao stopped him.

"Wait!"

"As for those disabled warriors, give them the women from the grassland tribes in our hands! Then distribute some money and supplies, and then arrange housing for them! I don't want them to bleed and shed tears..."

"Yes! My lord! Your will is the direction of my progress. I think those soldiers will thank you!"

After listening to Yin Zhao's order, An Geshi's eyes burst out with enthusiasm. He was extremely excited, but he still held back the excitement, but his tone was slightly more excited than before.

And soon, An Geshi left here, he was going down to handle Yin Zhao's mission.

On the huge city wall, apart from groups of heavily armed soldiers, only Yin Zhao and Axel stood here,

Yin Zhao opened his arms and slowly closed his eyes. He felt the cool night breeze blowing through his fingers, and his sad heart slowly calmed down in the gentle breeze.

Asel just stood aside quietly and looked at Yin Zhao silently. He did not speak and did not want to disturb his lord at this time.

Because he knew very well that his lord needed this time to calm down his inner emotions.As a lord, he doesn't need too many emotions, as long as he is calm, he can beat many lords.

But now, his Lord wants to put aside distracting thoughts and return to peace.

　Two in one!
