Chapter 323 Aftermath
The scorching sun was burning the earth. On the emerald green plains, countless dark green orcs trampled on the scattered weeds on the plains and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks around a small hill.
At the foot of the besieged hill, the legion soldiers who were fighting hand-to-hand with the green-skinned orcs were defending in an orderly manner around the advantageous terrain of the hill.
Relying on their comprehensive qualities that far exceed those of the green-skinned orcs, the legion soldiers are ruthlessly slaughtering all the green-skinned orcs that are rushing towards them.
Behind the first row of legionnaires, there are several more rows of legionnaires. Once the legionnaires in the front row are exhausted and need to rest, they will rotate and let the legionnaires who have recovered their strength take over.
In addition, if they encounter greenskin warriors or greenskin transcendents, the legion soldiers in the back row will attack decisively, surround and beat them, and kill the greenskin transcendents here.
At the same time, above the legion soldiers, a large number of spells were bombarding the densely packed green-skinned orcs in front of them.
A large number of greenskin transcendents would be quickly engulfed by a large number of spells as soon as they showed up. Therefore, only a few low-level greenskin transcendents could successfully reach the front line of the battle.
Hela stood on the top of the hillside. Under the protection of the legion soldiers, she was able to exert her great power on the green-skinned orcs around her without any worries.
The Grimoire floated in front of Hela. As Hela continued to cast spells, countless spells were released from the Grimoire, continuously bombarding the green-skinned orcs that were rushing up.
Every dark spell attack could easily clear out a small area when it landed on the group of green-skinned orcs.
Hela watched indifferently as the green-skinned orcs ignored the bodies of their dead comrades, stepped over them, and continued to surge forward.
almost.
After using a dozen spells to briefly clear an area, Hela completed the last piece of the puzzle.
She placed her right hand on the magic book in front of her, then she moved her right hand upwards, and a complex spell model was pulled out of the magic book.
At the same time as Hela pulled out the spell model, the legionnaires in the front row also burst out, throwing all the green-skinned orc corpses piled up nearby away. Then, they switched to a defensive posture and inserted their shields into the ground one by one, forming a layer of shield that protected all the legionnaires in the front row.
Fourth-level spell - Corpse Explosion.
As Hela cast this spell, the densely packed corpses that covered almost the entire battlefield rapidly expanded.
Except for a few corpses that were not affected by Hela, the remaining corpses, even those that had been trampled into minced meat, responded to the spell.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With the hillside where Hela was located as the center, the entire area within a radius of one kilometer, except for the safe zone on the hillside, experienced continuous explosions.
The fourth ring's corpse explosion technique can be spread, so the new corpses killed by the corpse explosion technique also become new media and explode directly.
The explosions continued for two or three minutes.
When the explosion stopped, the entire area was blown to pieces, and the huge number of green-skinned orcs were almost wiped out, turning into countless pieces of meat that were unevenly scattered throughout the area.
Under the contamination of necromancy, the meat scraps almost changed color to gray-black.
After witnessing Hela's horrific killing power, the green-skinned orcs outside the explosion range also became a little noisy.
Just as the legion soldiers collected their shields and prepared to continue fighting the green-skinned orcs, the noisy green-skinned orcs finally chose to retreat.
Amid the scolding and cursing of some greenskin priests, this large greenskin tribal army that was wandering over chose to run away.
After the greenskin army turned and left, Hela stretched out her right hand and slowly closed the magic book in front of her. The legion soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since Eleanor led the coalition forces to launch a counterattack against the Green Tide, the relative peace and stability of Donnar was completely disrupted.
The situation in the entire Donnar turned from peaceful to chaotic.
Under Eleanor's leadership, a large number of greenskin tribes were massacred and several greenskin warlords were destroyed by the coalition forces.
Eleanor absorbed the experience of the previous battle and did not only attack the greenskin warlords, but also ignored the greenskin tribes and large greenskin tribes.
This time, the coalition forces advanced steadily and slowly, slaughtering all the green-skinned orcs.
However, the Allied Forces did not have Roland's means of sealing vitality. Therefore, although the Allied Forces slaughtered all the greenskin orcs in several greenskin warlord territories, they did not eliminate or seal the vitality of the greenskin orcs flowing in these warlord territories.
Therefore, these vitality flowed back into the green tide and were distributed to other surviving greenskin warlords and greenskin tribes.
With more vitality, a large number of greenskin orcs were born among these greenskin warlords and greenskin tribes with overflowing vitality.
Although the greenskin transcendents have more vitality, they still need war and time to be born. Therefore, the number of greenskin orcs in their hands is increasing.
As the number of greenskin orcs at their disposal increased, the greenskin warlords became more and more active and began to start wars and fights everywhere.
At the same time, some greenskin tribes, especially large greenskin tribes, also had new ambitions after their population exploded.
Greenskin tribes attempt to challenge the status of other larger Greenskin tribes, while larger Greenskin tribes attempt to compete for the status of Greenskin Warlords.
Therefore, the infighting among the green-skinned orcs became increasingly fierce.
The defeated greenskin tribe can only choose to flee and move away, while the victorious greenskin tribe will turn its attention to other surrounding forces after victory and try to expand their territory.
Therefore, all nearby forces were attacked.
Even the territories of the greenskin warlords were attacked, not to mention the war council. Ever since Eleanor led the coalition forces to launch a counterattack, there have been traces of greenskin orcs near the northern wall, and these traces have become more and more numerous over time.
In the past month, more than a dozen greenskin tribal armies have been discovered on the northern wall attempting to move to the War Council.
The War Council would naturally not just sit there and watch. The Executive Committee decisively dispatched troops to strike hard at the roaming greenskin armies. At the same time, they also strengthened the defense of the northern wall to prevent the reconstruction work from being affected by the greenskin orcs.
However, it would certainly not work if we only killed the greenskin army. After all, if their vitality is not sealed, once it flows back, it would be the same as not killing them at all.
Therefore, in order to strike hard against these wandering greenskin armies, the assistance of spellcasters is also needed to help seal their vitality.
Therefore, the Executive Committee also drew out some spellcasters from those responsible for the reconstruction of the northern wall.
Hela accepted the transfer of the Executive Committee and became one of the selected spellcasters.
After all, the second phase of the northern wall project has been almost completed, so it would be better to let the low-level spellcasters be busy. There is no need to let the mid-level spellcasters stay at the northern wall.
Moreover, at the northern wall, a mid-level spellcaster can only do the job of a dozen low-level spellcasters, and on the front lines, dozens of low-level spellcasters cannot do the job of a mid-level spellcaster.
Therefore, it is more cost-effective for mid-level spellcasters to come to the front line to help than to plaster the northern wall.
Because the corpses on the battlefield had been blown into minced meat by Hela's corpse explosion technique, and there were only minced meat of green-skinned orcs and their tattered weapons and equipment on the battlefield.
If it were during the rebel period, these weapons and equipment would still have a certain recycling value. After all, it would be nice to give them back to new recruits, which is better than having no weapons at all.
But for the War Committee, it is completely worthless to recover.
Ordinary weapons and equipment are no longer considered good things in the War Council. After the participation of an entire dwarf autonomous region and a large number of dwarves, the weapons manufacturing of the War Council has also developed rapidly, and standard weapons and equipment have been popularized to local city defense forces.
As for the army, it has basically been completely replaced with more advanced military-style weapons and equipped with a large number of strange weapons and equipment.
For the army, the weapons and equipment used by the green-skinned orcs can basically be said to be scrap metal, and there is no need to recycle them at all.
Therefore, the legion soldiers did not waste time cleaning up the battlefield, but instead took the time to rest on the spot.
On the hillside, Hela stretched out her right hand, and the vitality of the green-skinned orcs that permeated the battlefield began to gather in Hela's hand, forming an obvious ball of dark green light.
Then, two First Ring Knights carried a box to Hela and opened it, revealing a sealed greenskin priest with only a head left.
After continuous experiments, the sealing methods for greenskin priests have been improved.
Now, there is no need to seal the entire greenskin priest. As long as there is a head, it will be guaranteed to be alive when sealed. Therefore, it is relatively more convenient to carry.
Looking at the head of the green-skinned priest in front of her, Hela's expression did not change, and she calmly pushed the dark green light ball in her hand in. The dark green light ball smoothly merged into the head of the green-skinned priest.
Then, the two First Ring Knights closed the box, saluted Hela, and slowly retreated.
After dealing with the vitality seal, Hela also walked to the side. She gently patted the dust on the stone beside her, and then, without any disgust, she sat on it and took a rest.
She placed the magic book on her legs, pressed the magic book with both hands, and looked up at the control area of the green orcs.
Hela was a little worried about Roland. It had been several months since he entered the control zone. Although Roland had been in contact with the War Council and sent messages almost every day.
However, as time went on, the frequency of Roland's communication with the War Council continued to decrease.
At the beginning, Roland could still move around in the greenskin-controlled area while handling various government affairs here. After that, the amount of government affairs Roland handled became less and less. In less than two months, Roland was like when he was building the magic field, and he no longer paid attention to the government affairs of the committee.
The only daily contacts were routine greetings. Moreover, Roland's replies to the routine greetings became less and less, until in the end, there was only a number 1 left, indicating that he had received it.
Moreover, Roland's reply speed was getting slower and slower.
Although Hela was not one of the executive members of the Executive Committee, but just an ordinary member of the War Committee, as Roland's closest person, Hela's position in the War Committee was also quite special.
Therefore, for things like this that only the executive committee members knew, although Hela was just an ordinary committee member, the executive committee members did not hide information like this involving Roland's situation from her, so she was relatively clear about it.
After learning this information, it was hard not for Hela to feel a little worried.
However, although Hela was worried, she did not disturb Roland. After all, this was something Roland decided to do on his own. Just like Hela decided on her own, Roland would not stop her and would even support her. The same was true for Hela.
All she could do was to do her own thing and not distract Roland.
Hela calmly stroked the magic book that Roland made for her.
After resting for a while on the hillside, the legion soldiers regrouped.
Hela looked at the information from the communication device. These were the final data collected and analyzed by the General Staff based on the investigation by the reconnaissance knights.
After confirming the next target, this small army, led by Hela, stepped across the bloody battlefield and began to kill the next greenskin tribe army moving towards this side.
In addition to launching a heavy attack on the large greenskin force on the northern defense line, the War Council did not sit idly by when faced with small greenskin forces of less than 1,000 in size, or scattered wandering greenskins.
After all, the reconstruction of the northern wall is of utmost priority and must not be affected or damaged by any green-skinned orcs.
Therefore, under the organization of the War Committee, mobile teams led by extraordinary people with a minimum size of ten people and a maximum size of no more than a hundred people were organized.
These mobile teams moved freely outside the northern wall, striking hard at any green-skinned orcs they saw.
In a forest outside the North Wall, several half-elves and halflings wearing light armor were moving flexibly among the trees.
Hearing the noisy sounds of the green-skinned orcs in the forest, the half-elves quickly rushed to the place where the sound came from, which was the location of the green-skinned orcs.
As war weapons created by Kan'ozu, the green-skinned orcs have many advantages, but they also have many disadvantages.
For example: They are destined to find it difficult to execute overly complex war plans because of their poor brain function.
Their poor brains do not allow them to think about too many things, they basically have no tactics, and their thick and fat hands cannot support them to perform any delicate operations.
Therefore, their marching movements are very obvious, and things like ambushes and raids are completely impossible to do. Even if greenskin extraordinary people are born, they cannot change the habits of the greenskin army.
It’s just that these shortcomings are usually overshadowed by the advantages.
After all, the green tide in Kan'ozu's hands, relying on its incredible numbers, did not play any tricks on others and just crushed them directly.
It was precisely because of these shortcomings that the War Council was able to detect the approach of the Greenskin Orcs and intercept all the Greenskin Orcs moving towards the War Council.
Half-elves and halflings raced through the forest.
As the noise of the green orcs grew louder, their pace slowed down a little. At the gesture of the half-elf captain, the team members began to slow down their movements and move forward cautiously.
As they got closer, following the half-elf captain's new gesture commands, the team members stopped one after another and found a nearby tree to hide under.
Everyone hid their figures and waited silently.
As the voices of the green-skinned orcs grew louder and louder, one green-skinned orc after another appeared in front of everyone.
Amidst the sounds of scolding and whipping, the short newborn green-skinned orcs first appeared in front of everyone as sentinels and cannon fodder.
The green-skinned orcs have no concept of respecting the elderly and loving the young. Even a newborn will only be taken care of for twenty days at most. Once the child can walk, he or she will be driven out.
If a responsible nursery is there, they will take care of the baby for a few more days, but at most they will only take care of the baby for a month.
Once you are kicked out, you can only figure out everything on your own.
If you are bought from a nursery by the greenskin tribe, it would be OK. You can start from the lowest level of slaves. Although the mortality rate of slaves is not low, at least you will not starve to death. Moreover, when you grow up, you can get rid of the status of slavery.
However, according to rough statistics from the War Committee, nearly 70% of newborns will die while being slaves, and less than 30% can successfully escape their slavery and live longer.
Under the circumstances of being exploited, these exploited green-skinned slaves were naturally covered with scars, and some of them were obviously missing some body parts.
Some green-skinned slaves who seemed to have just lost their legs could only crawl on the ground using their hands, with blood constantly flowing out from the gaps in their broken legs.
Looking at these poor green-skinned slaves, the half-elves and halflings hiding in the trees felt no emotion at all.
Green-skinned orcs are green-skinned orcs. No matter how pitiful they look, they will not have any sympathy.
For those who have passed through the Green Tide, the only good Green Orcs are the dead Green Orcs.
After all these green-skinned slaves appeared in their sight, some mature green-skinned orcs also walked out from behind them.
Several green-skinned orcs, waving whips and with fresh green-skin blood on their bodies, looked cruelly at the green-skinned slaves in front of them.
After waving the whip for a while, they looked at the green-skinned slave who was losing his legs and bleeding, becoming increasingly weaker.
Seeing this, they smiled cruelly, grabbed the whip and walked over.
Amid the sharp cries of these weak green-skinned slaves, they captured them and started eating them directly.
After taking a few simple bites, they lost interest in eating and casually threw the corpse to the green-skinned slaves who were staring at them.
Afterwards, the wounded green-skinned slaves fought frantically and devoured the mutilated corpses.
Soon, the corpses were eaten up, leaving only some blood on the ground being licked by the green-skinned slaves to prove their existence.
However, under the whip, the green-skinned slave who licked the blood also started walking again under the urging of pain.
Soon, a whole team of greenskins appeared in front of them.
Less than five hundred, enough to fight.
After silently calculating the number of greenskin troops in front of him, the half-elf captain came to a conclusion.
Then, he made a few gestures to the team members, drew the longbow first, and the other team members also drew their longbows and prepared to shoot.
It's getting late
I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to get the badge for writing 10,000 words a day.
