Chapter 55: The Criteria for Earning and Losing in War
Dark Fire's soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, and gunshots would be heard from time to time. They formed a group of three or five, and their attitude was no less cautious than in battle.
For humans, vampires are always the most dangerous enemies. Especially when faced with a dying vampire, if they are suddenly bitten, they will also become blood slaves. Therefore, in the process of cleaning the battlefield, the standard procedure is to see only
Blood slaves or vampires with signs of life will take a shot first before approaching.
Perhaps because of this, the vampires' treatment of human prisoners of war has become increasingly cruel, even more harsh than when they raised domestic animals before the Thousand-Year War.
Between the two camps, the war between humans and vampires is always the most cruel.
When Qianye came back, he saw Zhao Yuying walking around more than a dozen blood warriors. After a battle, these were the only prisoners of war. Humans only have one way to deal with blood slaves, and that is to kill them.
Kill them all, but very few vampire warriors are willing to surrender.
Zhao Yuying pinched her breasts and patted her butt from time to time, just like a patron choosing a girl in the hall. Then Qianye saw her open the mouth of a blood knight and look at his blood-sucking fangs.
, this is completely the way to select animals.
Qianye really doesn't know how to evaluate Miss Sun of Lord Youguo. The longer he spends time with her, the more surprised he will be. For example, these originally vicious vampires are actually as docile as animals in front of her.
Kitten. You know that looking at vampire fangs is the greatest humiliation for the Vampires, but they actually tolerate it.
Qianye couldn't help but said: "How did you do it?"
Zhao Yuying didn't look back: "Call me sister and I'll tell you."
"We'll talk about it later." Qianye tried to muddle through.
Zhao Yuying rarely pursued them fiercely, but continued her selection, saying lightly: "It's actually very simple. I just told them that if anyone dares to disobey, I will let them die for three days."
"Is it that simple?" Qianye didn't believe it at all.
"It's that simple!" Zhao Yuying answered decisively.
Qianye unceremoniously exposed her lies: "You don't have that much time." For people like Zhao Yuying, time is very precious, and they can't waste three days on such things.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuying laughed and said, "I always have time for this kind of thing."
After a while, Zhao Yuying picked out ten vampires and said, "They are my reward. I will send someone back to me later."
Looking at the remaining vampires, Qianye frowned and said, "This is more than just 10%."
Zhao Yuying put a hand on Qianye's shoulder and said with a smile: "Qianye, why are you so stingy! Mom, no, I am your sister anyway!"
Qianye patted her paws off calmly, "This matter hasn't been confirmed yet."
Zhao Yuying put her paws up again and said with a smile: "Why didn't you confirm it? We only have a few brothers and sisters in the Zhao family, how can we still admit our mistakes?"
Of course, there are more than a few people in the Zhao family, there are tens of thousands of young people under the age of thirty alone, but Zhao Jundu naturally has only a few people in Zhao Yuying's eyes.
Qianye frowned slightly, not wanting to get entangled with her on this issue, and said without giving in: "You can take more of these prisoners if you want, and you can give back more in the future."
Zhao Yuying pouted, "You have so many younger brothers, how could you be such a stingy person!"
"I only have this little wealth. If I weren't stingy, you would have eaten and spent it all."
"Speaking as if you are an old woman's man!"
"You'd better find a man quickly."
"Have you ever done this to your sister?"
Qianye was too lazy to argue with Zhao Yuying anymore. He glanced at the ten vampires she had picked out and asked, "How did you pick these people?"
"Of course it depends on strength and quality."
Quality? Qianye never felt that there was any quality that could be seen in these vampires. Even if there was any, it couldn't be seen in the way she picked them, and no matter how you looked at them, it seemed that she was selected based on their appearance and body shape.
Qianye vaguely heard that among the upper-class nobles of the empire, vampire and demon slaves with outstanding looks were very popular.
The results will soon be counted.
In this battle, Viscount Dormer's entire army was wiped out. More than 20 knights and above were killed and two were captured. Nearly 500 formal warriors of the blood clan were killed and more than ten were captured. The blood slaves lost 6,000.
Qianye's hidden fire casualties totaled more than 300 people. By imperial standards, such a battle loss ratio was a brilliant victory, but in Zhao Yuying's eyes, it was not so. Qianye used ten rounds of expensive dawn flash grenades.
, to achieve such a result. If these ten rounds of flares are included, this battle is only a small profit.
After Qianye heard Zhao Yuying's conclusion, he was a little puzzled. After all, Zhao Yuying was from a famous family and had a frighteningly carefree personality. How did he develop a love for money as much as his life?
From Qianye's point of view, ammunition and weapons will be used up sooner or later, but soldiers will become stronger as they fight. It's a good deal to exchange ten rounds of illumination bombs for a big victory.
After wiping out Viscount Duomo in the first battle, Qianye did not stop, but marched all night. The troops were divided into two groups. One group was led by Zhao Yuying to attack the mine, while the other group was led by Qianye himself and went straight to Viscount Duomo's lair.
.The general of the Wei family still led the engineers and logistics to maintain a safe distance from the army, so that he could not only defend the retreat, but also rush for reinforcements when necessary.
Zhao Yuying made an extremely painful choice between sweeping the Viscount's castle or capturing the mine. Qianyeyou saw the other side of her dilemma, but he thought that she would only be so hesitant about money.
After this battle, Dark Fire's military front finally alarmed the entire earldom.
Many lords under Stuka began to mobilize at this time. No wonder they were slow to react. Human beings have always been defensive in the direction of Blackstream City, and there was no large-scale attack at all. Until Domo's entire army was annihilated,
The viscount himself died in the battle, and they realized that this time humans were really waging a war.
In a castle to the southwest, an extremely tall and strong werewolf was sitting on a high seat, looking down at his subordinates who were filling the hall.
The hall is full of werewolves, without any other races, which is very different from other lords. Moreover, all werewolves remain in their original form and have not turned into human form.
The werewolf on the high seat has flaming red hair, a ferocious face, and a huge scar on his chest. He is called the "Terrible Red Bruno" and is the only werewolf viscount under Stuka.
Brudo is cruel and tyrannical by nature, but he is strong in combat and has no regard for the consequences when he goes berserk. The scar on his chest was left when he challenged Stuka.
A second-class viscount dared to challenge Stuka and still survived. After this incident, people all knew how crazy and powerful Brudo was.
This werewolf viscount is also an extreme racist. He always believes that only werewolves are worthy of trust, so only werewolves are allowed to live in his territory, and all other races are slaves.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing at this moment, and Brudo's heavy breathing was like a bellows, echoing in the hall. All the werewolves were cowering, afraid to make a sound.
Brudo finally said, "Where are those humans?"
A werewolf walked up to the large map hanging on the wall and pointed out the locations of Qianye's three troops one by one.
"When did this happen?" Brudo asked.
"Last night."
Bludo suddenly roared: "Don't use vague words like last night to prevaricate me! Tell me the exact time, how many hours ago!"
The werewolf in front of the map said with a trembling voice: "Fifteen, about fifteen hours ago."
"Fifteen hours, huh!" Brudo rarely continued to get angry. He stared at the map with a pair of green eyes, and there was an indescribable solemnity on his face.
According to the known intelligence, no matter what standards were used to deduce the battle situation, Domo was defeated too quickly, too quickly.
As a lord who also works under Stuka, Brudo knows Dormer very well. Although the insidious and cunning vampire is as timid as a mouse, the combat power of his army is not weak, even better than Brudo who pursues werewolf supremacy.
Even stronger. Was he defeated just like that?
Brudo slowly turned his head and asked: "Are all the warriors from each tribe here?"
"Fighters from all tribes are summoned, except"
"Except for what?" Bludo's eyes flashed fiercely.
"The Fengyang tribe didn't come. They said that a vital sacrifice was being held and the whole tribe had to participate, otherwise the ancestors would blame them."
"Fang" Brudo squeezed out the word through his teeth, and the end sound was a low growl. Anyone familiar with the scary red-haired person knows that when this war is over, Brudo will use the word "Fang".
Every member of the tribe was torn to pieces.
A brown-haired werewolf waved his claws vigorously and said, "Sir, let's go now. I will be the first to tear up all those human reptiles!"
Brudo stood up, walked back and forth in front of his seat twice, and suddenly said: "No, we defend. Inform our people to call back all patrols in the territory outside, and all hunting activities are suspended. All soldiers retreat.
At the pass, as long as the humans don’t take the initiative to attack, we are not allowed to fire, even if we watch the humans passing by, we are not allowed to attack!”
"Sir, this" The werewolves were all surprised and uncertain. They had never seen Brudo give such an order.
"Go and execute!" Bludo roared, releasing his ferocious aura without reservation. The werewolves lowered their heads in fear, firmly remembering the lord's order, and then exited the hall one after another, conveying the terrifying red-haired will to everyone.
Bludo was the only one left in the hall. He stood in front of the big map and stared at the marks on it. His eyes, which were originally full of ferocity, were now full of thoughts and fear.
On the Dark Fire side, the forward battalion led by Duan Hao was still sweeping away the dark race settlements one after another, and at the same time annihilating all patrols that came into view. After annihilating the main force of Viscount Domo, neither Qianye nor Zhao Yuying could
It took no effort to achieve their respective goals.
Qianye swept away all valuable things in the Viscount's castle, and sent a company of soldiers to escort hundreds of vampire captives and tens of thousands of raised humans to Black Current City, while he led an army to join Zhao Yuying.
When the two met, Qianye's first question was how many casualties there were, while Zhao Yuying's answer was that the battle had made a lot of money.
Qianye tried his best to turn around in his head and confirmed that the losses of the troops were very small.
