Chapter 676 Farewell

When the second Balrog General passed by the mercenaries, Lancelot had already obtained accurate casualty figures: 471 people were killed and 122 were seriously injured. Among the mercenaries, there was a priest profession

There are less than ten of them. Of course, it is impossible to cure everyone with these few, and their number of spell castings has been used up in the battle just now.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to stabilize the injuries of the seriously injured. All you need to do is take care of the wounds and cast a 0-level magic called 'Life Sustaining Technique'. However, if you want to get further treatment, you can only wait until you return to Shuangqiao.

After the suppression. In addition, Lancelot also mingled among the priests to help. Although he cannot cast healing magic, he has rich experience in treating wounds. Coupled with a trace of pure true energy input into the target's body, the effect may not be as good as that of the priest.

Their spells are bad.

Almost everyone among the mercenaries failed, but compared with mortals, the recovery ability of demons is obviously much stronger. Even without any treatment, their injuries can recover slowly. Although the speed is not as exaggerated as that of trolls

, but according to Lancelot's estimation, ordinary berserker demons can recover from serious injuries to minor injuries in at most three days, and minor injuries can be fully recovered, which shows their supernatural vitality as demons.

In addition to the dead and seriously injured, there were also 230 moderately wounded. These people either had a broken arm or had an eye blinded. Although they still had a certain fighting capacity, Lancelot decided

Let them return to Shuangqiao Town together with the seriously injured people on the grounds that those people need escort.

To his surprise, Sonam readily agreed to the proposal. The reason was of course not that the snake demon suddenly became kind-hearted (what a joke), but that she thought those people had become a burden, even if Lancelot didn't

He said that they would not be allowed to continue to follow the team.

The mercenaries who return to Shuangqiao Town will receive the enemy-killing bonus that almost cost them their lives, but the employment contract ends there, and this may mean the end of their adventurous career - regenerating their severed limbs.

It is an effect that can only be achieved by high-level magic, and the price is very expensive. If you have not had the habit of saving money in your previous adventure career, it may be difficult to afford this kind of service.

But this is the price of the bloody battle mercenary profession.

Thanks to the fact that each mercenary carried a metal plate recording his military exploits, the officers quickly compiled an accurate number of enemy kills: 1,362 demons, all of whom were bearded demons.

Of course, the devil is not included in Lancelot's head). From a numerical point of view, the mercenary legion shows that

However, they achieved a beautiful victory, and it was still under attack. This is enough to prove the strong fighting power of the mercenaries - adventurers who dare to take the initiative to make money in the abyss may have some brain problems, but their strength is definitely

It is above ordinary low-level evil spirits.

If what had just been attacked was a demon army, the casualty ratio would definitely be very ugly - the demons would first kill the weak, stupid, and uncooperative cowardly demons like chickens, and then rely on their numerical superiority to separate them into each other.

The mid-level demons in the battle surrounded them one by one. Only the top-level Balor Balrogs were dominant on the demon side: since they were completely immune to fire and damage, they always had the upper hand in the battle with the Hell Fiends, but this advantage was not huge.

It's enough to neutralize half an army, not even a quarter.

To Lancelot's expectation, the mercenaries' request to rest in place did not require anyone's consent at all - Sonam just 'informed' the black-armored Balrog General of this decision, and the other party shrugged and continued to move forward. What follows?

The demons would cast curious glances at the mercenaries as they passed by (mostly towards the mountains of demon corpses next to them), but no one was interested in stopping to mind their business, so they just walked away in a noisy manner.

It's past.

About three hours later, 'Lady Spider Web' Ilmaris and her army of spider demons appeared in everyone's sight, and they were already the last troops of the coalition. Lancelot pulled his six-armed snake demon general

, went to bid farewell to the wounded soldiers who had left. Those who could still walk were covered with bandages and moved forward silently, while their seriously injured companions lay on the flatbed cars behind - a few people would cry out for every bump.

Moaning, and more often than not, completely unconscious.

Suddenly, a certain mercenary walking past Sonam stopped and turned to face the six-armed snake demon.

"Thank you, General." The mercenary saluted solemnly, and then nodded to Lancelot, "And you, my lord, I will always remember you."

'What is he doing?'

Sonam's telepathy immediately sounded in Lancelot's consciousness. The next mercenary passing by did the same thing, and added at the end:

"It's an honor to fight alongside you, madam. I wish you all the best."

More mercenaries also made the same move, but Sonam's despising temperament suddenly disappeared, and her whole person froze in place as if she had turned to stone.

'They're thanking you, that's all.'

'Why do you want to thank me?'

'Because you did what mortals thought a good general should do, but they didn't expect you to do it.'

'Because I allowed them to deal with the injury?'

'Yes. And let them return to Shuangqiao Town in an organized manner instead of staying where they are and waiting to die.'

'What a ridiculous reason...what should I do now?'

‘You don’t have to do anything, just showing up here is enough. Of course, it would be better if you give me a little nod in return.’

So when the next mercenary bowed to her, the six-armed snake demon lowered his chin by about half a finger.

"You fought well. I hope we have another chance to fight together in the future..." Sonam suddenly spoke on her own initiative, "But it would be better for you to be a demon by then, rather than the fragile mortal body you are now."

"General..." The mercenary opened his mouth in surprise, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, "I... thank you for your kindness."

"You're welcome." Sonam glared at him fiercely, "Hurry up and move forward, you're blocking the road!"

"As you command!" the man replied loudly, striding forward, and his figure seemed to feel much more relaxed.

'I did a good job, right?' Sonam's voice sounded in Lancelot's heart again, 'He seems quite happy.'

'You did a great job.' Lancelot encouraged sincerely, 'But they may not be used to hearing the blessing of turning into a devil.'
