Chapter 1557 Imperfect Success

"You don't plan to continue fighting?" "Half asked.

"If you really have the Sword Master status, I won't look down on you with nothing. But not now, go back and change to a better weapon, at least don't take the bad one. If you want to die, just continue to hinder us from rescuing people, but I won't hold back when the time comes. In short, if you dare to provoke with bare hands, you must have the consciousness of bare hands. "

The human side was the most excited when they heard that the barbarian who had killed Armida and planned to release her from nowhere.

But no one made accusations. A strong person is capable of being willful, and others can't even point out a single mistake. To put it a hundred steps back, even if you are dissatisfied, you cannot punish the other party. So why bother offending your own strong man. Midland has no tradition of backing down from provocateurs.

He didn't even say thank you or say anything for the occasion, but left directly and neatly. Before leaving, he took another look at Killing Armida.

He was sure that the other party was not a barbarian. What it is, it’s hard to say. But what is certain is that he instinctively rejects the opponent, similar to the kind of rejection he encounters when he encounters a natural enemy.

But it's not fear, and the two sides are not necessarily enemies. But the origin of this feeling of disgust at first glance is half impossible to explain. This is also the reason why he will simply leave, because this opponent feels too weird to him.

After leaving halfway, Armida looked at the confused and angry people around him and asked, "Are you still going to save people?" "

Everyone woke up from a dream and rushed to treat their comrades, including Ezio. Someone also fired a firework signal into the air to allow the airship that was off the ground but still had room to land again to collect people.

But everyone seemed quite silent, unable to understand the barbarian's behavior of letting the orcs leave. But what needs to be done still needs to be done, and everyone still remembers this mission.

The fallen comrades must bring back their relics, and those who are still alive must rescue them and leave. If the person to be rescued dies, it depends on whether he has any relatives to deal with the funeral arrangements. Otherwise, no one will even accept the relics.

As for the corpse, a big pit was dug and buried together. There is no tradition of attaching great importance to the body of the deceased in Midland, because even if a monster with a sharp nose is separated by several layers of copper coffins, it will still dig out the food because it is hungry.

Those who are eligible are buried in guarded family cemeteries or cemeteries guarded by certain churches. If there are no conditions, then the funeral arrangements can be said to be quite casual; otherwise, it can be burned or directly cremated.

After all, if you take it too seriously and keep the body too intact, it will easily become material for the necromancer. In some ways this is even more ominous.

The most troublesome ones are those who are only injured but not killed. Rescue may not bring you back. Not saving him would be too inhumane. You must know that everyone knows that they are out this time, and they also shoulder the task of political propaganda.

Don't think it's too troublesome to save people, so kill them all to shirk responsibility by pretending that no one can be saved. This kind of thing was often done by people in Midi in the past.

Especially in the eyes of nobles, are ordinary people considered human beings? The nobles themselves have realized that they are short of human resources, and they are still afraid of executing ordinary people. Or are precious medical resources wasted on inferior people?

Today, although a new school of doctors who integrate the undead and life has emerged, it has not yet become truly popular. It is even less likely that the views of noble gentlemen will change so quickly.

But we can't live like this at the moment and rely on this mission to boost morale. If there is a large-scale scandal, then it is really better not to save it than to save it.

The last resort is to save minor injuries and delay serious injuries. Anyway, there is still room in the airship, so let everyone come up. If you don't make it back alive, that's your fate. Didn't look at the soldiers who came to save people, they were all dead or disabled. It’s not that they didn’t save her, it’s that there was no way to save her on site.

After the strong orcs left, the surrounding orc army seemed to have received the news and withdrew. If it were a normal fight, the human side should catch up and beat the enemy thoroughly.

But now it is an abnormal situation. Besides, if the enemies gather together and retreat in an orderly manner, this is simply the best bait for the airship.

But the enemy was like a tree falling and the hozen scattered, fleeing in all directions. No matter which direction you pursue, you must have mosquito bites

The child’s awakening. The veteran general of the Haider Empire simply sent out a rally signal and stopped sending fully loaded airships to pursue them.

When everyone in the prisoner camp had boarded the airship, and the sergeants responsible for rescue and security on the ground had almost all returned to the airship, the only one left to kill Armida, who had been doing nothing from beginning to end.

Before Haider's last airship lifted off the ground, someone called the barbarian to board the ship, but he shook his head and refused. The sergeant guarding the hatch said in surprise: "Sir, you don't know that this is a demon-occupied area." "

"So what? Can anyone hurt me?" ” Knife Armida grinned heartlessly. The sergeant who asked him what to say was speechless on the spot.

"You go, don't worry about me. This is the best hunting ground, as long as you don't disturb me. "

Sergeant Haider was speechless. In the end, he could only bow and said, "Then I wish you a triumphant return." ” Then the hatch was closed and the airship lifted off the ground.

It wasn't until the airship completely disappeared from sight that Kill Armida, who was standing on the ground, turned around and left. But instead of walking away, he suddenly disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

Of course no one saw this scene. In fact, there has never been such a person in this world.

On other battlefields, the team was not as unlucky as Ezio's team. The overwhelming combat power and speed of the airship were an insurmountable existence for the demon and orc armies for a while.

In fact, no matter where the airship army is, no matter who the opponent is, it has such an advantage. The reason why there is no way to become the mainstream of war in the Lost World is because the airship force is a high-tech military unit, and the cost and maintenance are beyond the reach of ordinary countries.

To be honest, those non-mainstream commercial airships are no different from flying into the sky with explosives, or they will fall down at any time. I don't have any courage, I really don't dare to sit on this coffin-like thing.

In short, the number of airships is the biggest reason why it is difficult to form an army. In the entire Lost World, only the wealthy Haider Empire could afford such an expensive unit. In fact, the operating mode of the airship corps of the Haider Empire has not been disclosed to the outside world, nor is it fully maintained by the empire as most people imagine. The secret is difficult for outsiders to know.

In short, using such a proud force to fight the orcs is just like using airplanes and cannons to fight primitive people.

But another important factor is that the only ones surrounding humans or capturing humans are orcs. Basically, demons have no need for food, and of course they will not do such a thankless thing. The devil's sacrifices are all done on the spot, and they don't pick an auspicious day.

Therefore, the rescue operations in various places can be said to be quite smooth. The biggest damage is the worrying situation mentioned before. This area, which is completely isolated from the outside world, has developed some unique rules.

In order to deal with these leaders who regard themselves as mountain kings, the sergeants who conducted the rescue operation fought against each other. These people were just thieves who took advantage of the situation. Of course, they were no match for the airship troops. They were defeated one after another and even killed on the spot.

It can be said that there is only one alien like the Orc Half. In other words, I only see one for the time being.

However, even though previous calculations were based on intelligence, the number of survivors in some human gathering places was still higher than expected, or the airships did not evenly accommodate the number of people they accommodated, so some airships were overloaded.

Although there is no so-called safe load in Midi, there is no such thing as overloading. But these fully loaded airships are more sluggish in operation, which is quite fatal when passing through terrain with strong winds.

The result of this is that all airships will return around the Wind Emperor Mountains instead of venturing through the cursed mountain range.

There is also another saying, which is to land somewhere and adjust the number of people carried by each boat. However, this opinion was quickly overturned.

Now everyone wants to leave as soon as possible, so there is no reason to extend their stay. Besides, this is an area occupied by demons and orcs, so there is no place that can be considered safe enough to allow a large group of airships to land and adjust the number of crew members.

And the advantage of good adjustment is that you can enter the dangerous Fengdi Mountains channel. This is equivalent to gambling everyone's life again??

At first, everyone would choose to cross the Fengdi Mountain Range because they wanted to gain time and avoid being discovered by the enemy. But now that there is no time urgency, there is no need to deliberately take this risk.

In addition, all airships have non-combatants on board, and it is expected that they will not interfere in emergencies, so why not avoid the possibility of harm from the beginning.

Therefore, the commander in charge of this mission, a veteran general from the Haider Empire, decisively gave instructions for a detour.

All the airships immediately formed a formation and rose to a height that was difficult for ordinary creatures to reach. This height ensures that everyone can safely get back to the rear, except for a few unlucky souls.

Just like Ezio's serious injury, the doctor on the Twin Griffins who was educated in an elementary school failed to cure him despite all his efforts. All we can do is drag on our lives until we can get back to the rear base camp. If there is any misfortune in the process, you will only get a word of regret.

Ezio's situation is not an exception, it is also the norm on the battlefield. Unless one is quite well-established and has a wealthy family, it is possible to hire a life priest or bishop to perform magic and save lives. But most people can really only look at their fate.

The old general had no intention of forcing his way through the Fengdi Mountains for these people. They all have doctors stationed on board their respective airships to treat serious injuries. If they can't survive this, it can only be attributed to bad luck. But there is also a chance to live.

Through the cursed Wind Emperor Mountains, despite the odds of a smooth passage. But if something goes wrong, the entire airship will be destroyed.

Comparing the two, it is self-evident which choice a normal person would make. Simply put, the value of the former is not high enough to gamble with the latter, whether it is for Ezio, any rescue team, or the injured human beings who need to be rescued.
