Chapter 776.2: Very soon
After Su Xiao ate five bites, he felt full, got up, and headed to the frontline.
— I went.
— The senior warden nodded. The battlefield wasn't the best place to get acquainted. Many veterans didn't want to know the names of the recruits. Making friends with the new recruits was a bad idea. Recruits could die at any time, and because of this, veterans preferred not to interact with them.
After all, no one wanted to lose their friends.
Even though it was already night, the battlefield wasn't dark. The fire lit up the battlefield. From time to time, a "green shooting star" would roar through the sky».
After a few minutes, the empire's warriors appeared in front of Su Xiao, and he quickly blended in with them.
A swing of the sword took the life of the opponent, so immediately after the swing, he was looking for a new one. If there were a lot of enemies, he would use the Qing Gang Yin energy. If there were too many enemies, Su Xiao would use ring break.
Su Xiao noticed that some of the imperial warriors had fatigue in their eyes. It wasn't physical fatigue, but internal fatigue.
He didn't feel so tired, because he kept reminding himself that all those who died by his sword had to be killed by him, or else it would have been him who took their place.
Killing wasn't a good habit, and although Su Xiao might not be able to get rid of it, at least he wouldn't let himself get used to it.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Xiao's hands started to hurt again. Fortunately, the enemies in the vicinity were gradually becoming less numerous, and the still-living orcs were increasingly looking at him strangely.
There was hatred, unwillingness, and even more fear in their eyes.
— Brother... Brother, he's already dead, that's enough, " the empire warrior said as he looked at Su Xiao and swallowed involuntarily.
— Su Xiao kicked the orc's corpse away. When he looked up, he found that the sky had turned white.
Dawn came. He fought all night long.
Moving his aching hands, Su Xiao looked at the fortress half a kilometer away. This battle was almost over. The next step is to capture this fortress. Once they captured this stronghold, he would be able to move freely around the world.
At approximately 8 a.m., the Imperial army surrounded and destroyed the last small group of the Union Army.
The day-and-night battle came to an end.
The success of the imperial army was not as great as it might seem at first glance. Of course, more than 200,000 Tribal Alliance warriors died on the battlefield, but about 80,000 managed to escape to the fortress.
Su Xiao sat down on the pile of corpses and lit a cigarette. The screams of the dying finally disappeared, replaced by the screams of the wounded.
Medics, supervisors, and messengers immediately began to scatter around the battlefield. Medics were responsible for finding and treating the Empire's wounded warriors, while observers were responsible for finding, capturing, or killing the Union's wounded. As for the messengers and other people, they started delivering orders, and people with large backpacks started collecting weapons.
In addition, some prisoners were forced by the guards to clean up the corpses or dig holes for them.
The total losses of the two sides in this battle alone exceeded 100,000 people. If so many corpses were not disposed of in the shortest possible time, both sides would be in big trouble at once. Environmental pollution was a small thing. The plague was the main danger. Plagues were an integral part of any war, unless the corpses were handled properly.
In this medieval world, a plague outbreak will kill far more people than any war.
The corpses of imperial warriors were piled onto carts after being identified. After that, all their valuables were taken away, and the corpses were put on carts. Items that could be used to identify a person were sent to the family of the deceased. Those who could not be identified immediately on the spot were sent to the rear for further proceedings..
The wounded were treated and either returned to service or returned home..
As for the corpses of the union warriors, everything of value was taken from them first, then piled up and burned.
— Hu~, " Su Xiao blew out a puff of smoke and took out his tablet, then started the parkour game. It must have been installed by Bubtney. No one else could touch Su Xiao's tablet.
[Notice: The enemy has successfully captured the core of the world, you must return it within 20 days.
Otherwise, after 20 days, the core of the world will belong to the enemy.]
After seeing this notification, which was more like a bolt out of the blue, Su Xiao immediately checked Bubtni's condition and found that Bubtni's vital signs were normal.
Su Xiao sighed and pondered. His next steps were too obvious.
He was supposed to recapture the core in the next 20 days.
At that moment, he received a message from Bubtney.
«Master, hold on, I easily got inside and I'm about to steal this shiny stone!»
As soon as Su Xiao saw this message, a notification from Heaven immediately appeared in front of him.
[Notification: You have successfully taken the core of the world back. Please don't let the enemy take it away for the next 20 days.
In 20 days, the core of the world will belong to you.]
The cigarette fell out of Su Xiao's mouth. It happened too fast, but he decided to send a message to Bubtney first.
«Bubtny, well done, keep it up....»
But before Su Xiao could write a message, a new notification from Paradise appeared in front of him.
[Notice: The enemy has successfully recaptured the world core, you must recapture it again within the next 20 days.
Su Xiao was baffled. What exactly happened there?
Sighing, Su Xiao realized that he had to get inside the fortress as soon as possible, otherwise Bubtney would run into trouble sooner or later.
If he wasn't around and Bubtney decided to act too brazenly... Who knows what might happen.
