Chapter 392 The Storm Has Not Stopped
Chapter 392 The Storm Has Not Stopped
The war only broke out for ten minutes, but within those ten minutes, tens of thousands of werewolves died. The wailing and falling of those werewolves with the bloodline of the Jag clan frightened the other werewolves into fleeing frantically.
After all, these werewolves didn’t know that Weiss had ordered the werewolf army to retreat in order to delay the duration of the human supernatural potion.
For them, retreat itself means failure and escape.
Now, the wolves have no leader and are naturally in chaos.
We were retreating and fleeing before, so there seems to be no problem in continuing to run now.
There is an order to retreat, but there is no order to fight to the death. Under the current situation, there is no need to consider further what to choose.
As more and more werewolves began to flee in the mountains and forests, the war soon came to an end.
“You—yell at me again!”
With one sword, he cut off the huge werewolf’s head. With a rapid breath, Bogold grabbed the werewolf’s head and looked into its eyes without any emotion.
Unfortunately, this werewolf with bared fangs could no longer roar and roar at her ferociously.
On the battlefield, the effect of the Hound’s Heart potion gradually wore off, and a knight’s squire fell unconscious on the ground, amidst a pool of blood and corpses. The soldier next to him had blurred vision and approached him panting. When he took off his helmet and placed his fingers on his neck, the latter had already lost his body temperature.
The soldier who stretched out his hand also felt his vision becoming increasingly blurred. His throat was extremely dry, as if it was being burned by fire. He had an extremely severe headache, and his entire body felt as if all the bones were shattered and he couldn’t even lift a muscle.
More and more soldiers fell down. Ryan quickly came to the battlefield and opened the door to the plane.
“Hurry up, send them in!”
He personally carried the knights and attendants to Bilki’s world. The civilians who followed him, who were originally used for transportation and laying iron nets, finally found their place. They carried the extremely heavy knights into the gate of the plane.
On the other side, the metal cage seal softened, and the hard metal turned into liquid surrounding Rose, and finally, it was all swallowed up by his metal arm.
And that metal arm, which was scarred all over, became shiny again, and in its palm, it was holding the head of the werewolf leader Weiss.
He killed the werewolf from the sanctuary. It seemed that after experiencing the godslaying battle, Rose’s combat effectiveness had improved significantly.
“He relies too much on his brain. His strength is not enough to suppress my alchemical arm, but he always tries to lure me into revealing my weakness.”
Rose shook her head. Killing this sanctuary werewolf required a lot of luck.
One by one, the knights’ servants were sent into Birki’s world, along with Mage Luna. As a great mage who was proficient in life magic and soul magic, Mage Luna was the only one in the Frozen Territory who had the ability to treat and alleviate the backlash of the potions in these knights’ servants’ bodies.
However, Ryan still went to Svadifari and sent Archmage McKen over there, as well as Alchemist Rose. After all, this was the first alchemical potion he had ever made.
“The power of blessing can alleviate the backlash of their souls, but the souls of most people are already incomplete.”
Mage Luna said to Ryan, shaking her head regretfully, the Hound’s Heart alchemical potion would consume the souls of these soldiers during its blooming process, and even the gods could not recover the lost soul fragments.
“Where’s Bogard?”
Ryan forced himself to calm down and asked in a cold voice. He didn’t expect that Bogeld was so bold as to take an alchemical potion with huge side effects.
“She is in good condition. Her soul is just traumatized. It can be repaired with some magic potions. Your Dawn Holy Water is the best extraordinary healing substance.”
Ryan took out the holy water without hesitation and handed it to the servant next to him to send to Bogeld.
“Her desire and method of fighting are too extreme.”
Even Mage Luna said so. After she completed the coverage of the metal net, she used magic to kill the werewolves, not the golem puppet itself. As a magician, she was still not used to the power of this powerful body itself.
She saw Bogeld’s battles. This legion commander, who looked heroic but was said to be not very old, fought every battle with the attitude of life and death, with both sides suffering losses.
Be ruthless to the enemy, but also don’t give yourself any way out.
“It’s hard to change.”
Ryan said this. Bogeld has always been like this. Arrogance is a flaw or even a fatal weakness for many people, but only for her, arrogance makes this girl extremely powerful.
As for the consequences of arrogance…only Ryan can deal with it.
After leaving the Bilki world, Brand had already made a preliminary assessment of the damage caused by the battle.
“The werewolves of the Garg clan were almost wiped out, and the number of other werewolves killed was about 13,000, but our soldiers…”
Brand’s expression darkened.
“Only 3,850 people remain.”
This is the number of people who are still alive, no matter how serious their injuries are.
Including the 1,500 men of the Armored Bear Legion and the Stag Legion stationed in Winter City, this is the only number left.
Ryan took a deep breath and cut down three big trees beside him with a sword. The flames burned the tree trunks, turning them into charcoal with crackling sounds.
Only Ryan himself knew how many people he had blessed for this war.
【Spirituality: 12008】
The appearance of a knight squire would have at least ten points of spirituality. For some soldiers who had made contributions, Ryan would give two kinds of blessings, which amounted to twenty points.
Before the worlds of Gam and Fenrir surrendered, Ryan’s spirituality was more than this balance. After gaining the loyalty of more than 100,000 people from that world, his spirituality reached a meager number in just a few months.
However, the hundreds of thousands of spirits that disappeared could not even survive a month, and most of them had already turned into corpses.
“Go back and find someone to collect the bodies here. As for the werewolves… burn them.”
……
Rumble…
This was not the roar of thunder, but the violent noise made by the fire burning the mountain. Not only the bodies of the werewolves were burned, but also the entire battlefield would be reduced to ashes. As the burning continued, some of the ground collapsed because the underground iron ore that originally supported them was extracted by Rose, and the hard metal embedded in it caused voids.
Ryan stood on a distant mountain, looking at the flames that could not even cover the darkness of the night. This war had destroyed 90% of the war potential of the Frozen Territory. In his own three levels of war, this was already the peak of the second level.
And their enemies are only one-fifth of the werewolves. Under the Silver Moon Court, there are four powerful werewolf clans, and Garg is just one of them.
Among the tens of thousands of werewolves, only one third were killed this time, and the remaining two thirds are still the huge pressure that the Frozen Territory faces in the North.
Ryan, it is impossible to replicate today’s war a second time.
Rumble!
The blazing flames finally aroused the wrath of the world. Thunder tore through the sea of clouds, and heavy rain fell to extinguish the wildfires below. However, when the rain fell into the air, it condensed into ice and turned into blizzard that submerged the majestic world before their eyes.
This is the North after all. Heat is not the master here, but deadly cold is.
The land of ashes may become another arable land in the frozen land territory in the future. Ryan returned to Rhino Horn Mountain in the silent world. The situation here is still tense. The doors of every household are closed because werewolves are hunting and harassing around Rhino Horn Mountain.
Ryan had left behind 500 knights and squires of the Stag Legion, but they could not completely defend against the threat posed by werewolves. In the approaching winter weather, many people died under the werewolves’ fangs and had their blood sucked out.
There is no such thing as plain white in this world, but the white snow all over the sky omitted the process of color. Ryan felt a little annoyed when he heard the sound of crying.
He finally understood why the human nobles longed for the land in the south. It was not only because it was warm and had a suitable environment, but also because it was far away from death and conflict.
There is a difference between personal experience and understanding through knowledge.
Standing on the Rhino Horn Mountain and looking at the snow-white world around him, Ryan had a momentary impulse to lead his troops south and occupy the land in the south.
“Will I be defeated by the North?”
Avril came behind Ryan and heard Ryan’s whispered question.
“Will you ask me this question many times?”
Avril said confusedly, pulling Ryan’s arm.
Ryan thought of when he first came to the frozen land. At that time, if he stepped down, his knees would be buried in the snow.
later……
His footsteps were getting farther and farther away. “Maybe.”
“Then I will answer you one last time.”
Ryan stopped talking and just watched. It seemed like the northern sky was snowy and windy again this year.
……
Is this a victory?
Not really, not because too many people died, but because the threat of orcs will not disappear because of a war.
The orcs who are approaching the human territory from the north have indicated that they will be everyday neighbors.
That’s what Ryan thought, but the orcs didn’t.
The increasingly deprived living environment makes them want the land in the south, the land of mankind.
“Useless! The werewolves of the Garg clan are a disgrace to our Silver Moon Court. They are just a bunch of useless people!”
“That guy Weiss claimed to be the smartest guy in the werewolf bloodline, but he was killed by a weak human!”
“The Garg clan is not worthy to be on the same level as us!”
In the wind and snow, in a tall stone palace, a lean, white-haired werewolf roared with bloodthirsty teeth bared. The sound echoed in the stone palace, shattering the flying snow falling from a round hole above its head.
“Gag has long lost the qualifications to be compared with us, otherwise the Gag clan would not have attacked the human empire’s land alone.”
“Weiss himself knows that Garg is no longer qualified to be one of the four major clans because he failed to become a legend in the Call of the Ancestors.”
“The human empire is more powerful than it was a hundred years ago. Only with the leadership of the legend can we occupy the human land.”
The one who spoke was a tall werewolf with gray-brown hair. His voice was calm and steady, without any of the aggressiveness of an orc. Judging from the tone of his voice, he sounded more like a human.
“Damn it! How come there are so many legends among humans?”
The white-haired werewolves were angry. They were puzzled, and the orcs were also puzzled. How could humans have so many legends? It made no sense at all.
If this were not the case, how could humans have occupied the warm South alone?
“Has the king not come back yet?”
The third werewolf spoke. His hair was a very ordinary gray color. However, except for the Silver Moon royal family, the hair of other werewolf clans could not prove anything. At most, white hair was more suitable for hunting in the world of the North.
Hearing his words, the white-haired werewolf became angry again.
“In my opinion, we shouldn’t cooperate with them. We werewolves can go to human land alone and kill all those humans.”
“The Garg clan took it upon themselves to invade human territory, and you saw the result. Humans are stronger than we thought. Didn’t that army a few years ago make you realize that humans are no longer the same humans they were a hundred years ago?”
The gray-haired werewolf looked at the white-haired werewolf, and the next moment, the two furious werewolves started fighting once again. Their speed was so fast that even the wind couldn’t catch up with them. When they calmed down after a while, both were found to have bloodstains all over their bodies.
The werewolves’ powerful recovery ability allowed their bodies to recover visibly, but the atmosphere in the stone palace was extremely tense.
“How dare you compare my ‘Er’ clan to those useless people of Garg!”
“Haha, what’s the difference? If you hadn’t become a legend by chance under the call of your ancestors, your Earl clan wouldn’t even be as good as the Gag clan.”
“Well, let’s wait until the king comes back. Our goal is to destroy all of the human defenses and occupy their land.”
“I’ve had enough of this damned northern border. Snow is everywhere when I open my eyes. Snow is everywhere when I open my eyes!”
The gray-brown-haired werewolf also lost his patience and left hideous marks on the ground with his claws. Looking closely, the walls and the ground of the palace were all covered with such dense claw marks.
“It will be soon. When the king returns, we will launch a full-scale attack on the human territory and let them know that orcs have always been a stronger race than humans.”
……
In the wind and snow, the howling of wolves could be heard from the forest.
Ryan didn’t know whether these howling wolves belonged to werewolves or wild wolves, but no matter what they were, they probably wouldn’t be able to find any prey.
The outbreak of the battlefield caused the wild beasts around the Tundra Territory to flee further away. If they wanted to hunt for food, their only direction was the interior of the Tundra Territory.
Ryan kicked a wild boar. After the wild boar came to the frozen land from the other world in the mountains, it slept all day long, ate after waking up, and also ate magic crystals. Most of the magic crystal warehouse collected by Ryan belonged to this guy’s food.
If Ryan had not discovered that the meat quality of other wild boars in the frozen land area around the big wild boar had undergone extraordinary changes, he would have cut off its food supply long ago.
Speaking of this, this is also the reason why Ryan did not let this wild boar go to the battlefield during the war.
The radiation ability of this wild boar’s body exceeds the effect brought by its combat power comparable to that of the Sky Knight.
“I asked my housekeeper to find a batch of sows. I hope you can help me so that every household in my territory can raise pigs with excellent meat.”
Ryan kicked the other party again, but the wild boar didn’t respond to what he said. After receiving the spiritual blessing, it finally turned over and continued to shout loudly.
“Recently, werewolves have been hunting your offspring, and you have no reaction at all?”
Ryan kicked again angrily, and the wild boar jumped up in pain.
There were no prey in the mountains during this period, so the werewolves began to pay attention to the human territories. After their efforts on humans failed to produce any results, they set their sights on the black pigs that were raised in the surrounding mountains of the frozen land.
Hesitantly hanging around the big wild boars, the meat of those black pigs is better than many kinds of wild boars. Ryan sent them to the south and received rave reviews. Some nobles wanted to have long-term cooperation with them.
This naturally made the big wild boars receive attention, but the werewolf hunting prevented the wild boars here from growing in size.
The big wild boar looked at Ryan angrily, as if questioning why he interrupted his sleep.
I can’t eat magic crystals as much as I want here. I’m starving every day and I’m not even allowed to sleep?
When faced with Ryan’s question, the big wild boar rolled his eyes.
I don’t even mind being a breeding pig and giving my offspring to you to eat, so why would I mind these hybrid pigs being hunted by werewolves?
Ryan understood the wild boar’s extremely human expression and meaning, and couldn’t help but pull the corners of his mouth, no longer dwelling on this question.
“Mr. Rose will be back in a couple of days to draw some blood from you. You should be fine, right?”
Ryan is here to feed the spirituality, as well as this matter.
Of course, what he meant by “smoking a little” might be a bit too much, so I have to give him a heads up in advance.
Rose brought back some werewolf corpses, undergoing some kind of alchemical transformation and revitalization, and the big wild boar was his target.
And if a wild boar with strong fighting power resists, it will be a very scary thing.
The big wild boar understood what Ryan meant by “billions of bits and pieces”. Its eyes were full of resistance and rejection. It had had its blood drawn several times.
“Don’t worry, Rose has a lot of good things in her hands. You can make some demands to her.”
“What, you want the Eye of the Gray Dwarf in his hand?”
“Okay, I’ll pass it on to Mr. Rose for you.”
Ryan turned and left. It was Archmage McKen who told him about the Eye of the Gray Dwarf, but the one who needed it was Mage Luna.
Mage Luna is very poor and relies on Ryan for all her magical practice, so she cannot trade with Rose on her own.
But if successful, Master Luna might be able to create a golem puppet to help Ryan.
It will be of great benefit to the construction of the northern fortress defense line.
He can no longer continue to produce troops, so the only way now is to use fortifications to replace the effect of soldiers.
