Chapter 618 Trophy(1/2)
The Pioneer Army set up an additional temporary camp one kilometer downwind of the rest camp. All the spoils collected from Greyhound Village, except food and supplies, were transported here for sorting and processing.
The spoils of war are quite generous. More than 400 tons of grain and nearly 20 tons of cured meat are only a small part of it. There are also cattle and sheep raised by goblins in the pasture outside the village. There is no clear statistics on how many livestock there are. The Swift Bird Qingqi has already
I went to check and collect them, and it is estimated that there will be no less than 500.
It has to be said that hobgoblins are orcs who know how to calculate carefully, and the ogre warlord obviously also knows how to use hobgoblin slaves.
There are also materials plundered and looted by the orcs in Greyhound Village, the most valuable of which are metal products. After being smelted by the kobold blacksmith, they turned into two heavy maces, a pair of ogre warlord half-armor, and a small number of goblin short knives.
A total of more than 1,100 pounds. The amount of metal is indeed not much, but it is enough to make tens of thousands of bronze arrowheads. For the Eastern Defense Line where iron is scarce, every arrow and crossbow during the war is precious.
The loot camp was filled with the stench of blood. Victor used x-3 to dilute the related smell without discomfort. Almost all the soldiers in the camp wore towels to cover their mouths and noses. They wore oil canvas aprons and were decomposing together with the paladins.
The corpse of an orc.
"Your Highness, you are here." When a mid-level paladin saw Victor, he dropped the horn dagger in his hand and greeted him across the chopping board.
He was one of the few people without a towel. His hands and apron were stained with blood, but his face was filled with a smile of joy. The disgusting smell seemed to have no effect on him. There was a dog head on the bloody chopping board.
The human corpse's chest had just been cut open, and the heart inside was missing, but there was a wooden barrel on the ground next to the chopping board.
Victor took a glance and saw that there were 19 kobold hearts in the bucket. The same chopping board and the same bucket were everywhere.
That's right, the loot camp is specifically responsible for processing the corpses of orcs and collecting useful materials.
Just like orcs use humans as food reserves, humans are not polite to orcs. The hearts of kobolds and dire orcs are important raw materials for making dragon vein potions; the sinews of ogres, bugbears, and dire gnolls can be used as crossbows.
Bow strings; ordinary goblins don’t have valuable materials on their bodies, but most of the alienated war beasts are not very picky about their food. It is said that the moon bear war beasts of the Teutonic Principality can gain more power by devouring the flesh and blood of ferocious creatures, and may even have the opportunity to transform into
Become a real dire moon bear. When the corpses of ogres, bugbears, and dire orcs fall into the hands of the moon bear family, there is no waste at all.
Although six-legged velociraptors do not have the ability of moon bears, their appetite for food is quite astonishing. A velociraptor weighing more than 700 kilograms consumes an average of 50 pounds of meat every day. During high-intensity fighting or marching, their food intake is almost doubled.
times. The 100 velociraptors of the Pioneer Army needed to eat 4.5 tons of meat every day. August complained that he was poor all day long, and he was really eaten by the velociraptors.
Although the supplies of the Gombis Vanguard Army are jointly borne by the Sasanian Empire and the Church, the current supply system of the eastern border defense line cannot meet the mobility needs of the Velociraptor Beasts. The Vanguard Army cannot simply wander around in the east for a few days and lead the Velociraptor Beasts.
The dragon runs back to the supply point to eat meat.
Therefore, the alienated war beasts must be supported by fighting. The church only ensures that the supply points have sufficient supplies. No matter when the war beasts come back to eat and rest, they must record how much food the war beasts need and how many died, and finally use gold coins or supplies to
Reinforcement settlement.
Fortunately, the six-legged velociraptors are not picky eaters and will eat carrion. These orcs and the dried meat they make are enough for the velociraptors to eat for a while. What the soldiers have to do is to break down the valuable materials and preserve the orcs as much as possible.
of meat.
Smoking is a good idea.
In the camp, the campfire was blazing, and the smell of blood mixed with the burning aroma of barbecue was nauseating. However, if these disgusting materials were converted into gold coins, their value would be dozens of times that of the food and material trophies.
That's why it's called the trophy camp.
Humans have a strong ability to adapt. No matter how disgusting things are, if you see or smell too much, your senses will naturally make habitual adjustments, but the psychological gap will not be adjusted so easily. Although handling prey and corpses is also a compulsory skill for attendants
course, but a real warrior should enjoy the glory of victory, and it is the job of the subordinates to clean the battlefield and collect trophies. The vanguard soldiers are all the elites of each family, and everyone has at least the status of a vassal. Some people feel sad because they were not able to participate in the war.
Shame, the most important of which is Victor's men.
The paladins did not participate in the war. Their main task was to protect the safety of the combat priests. After the war, they were happy to do some menial work.
Compared to the paladin of the church, the attendants of Silver Moon Manor seem too immature.
Victor nodded to the mid-level paladin and ordered: "Gather everyone here."
Not long after, the soldiers from the Trophy Camp gathered in front of His Highness Randall, with the soldiers from Centaur Hill standing in the front row.
Without saying a word, Victor pushed the kobold away, picked up the body of a violent ogre and threw it on the chopping board. He took out the adamantine dagger and began to decompose it. The sharp blade cut open the ogre's blue-gray skin, revealing the fishy smell.
of yellow fat, his slender white hands directly reached into the foul-smelling chest, and took out the huge heart wrapped in fascia. He casually threw the ogre's heart into the bucket, and then picked out the tendons and thigh bones. His expression
Extraordinarily focused, the blade is smooth and natural, with a flowing beauty, as if he is painting and carving, rather than dismembering a dirty ogre. The tendons are completely taken out, and the iron-hard thigh bones are picked dry.
It is clean, revealing the crystal yellow bone like glazed rock.
He took the bone rod and looked at it carefully for a moment, nodded with satisfaction, and said almost to himself: "The bones of the ogre are tougher than fine iron, more compatible with elements than mithril, and they are light enough. The leg bones can be made
Bone swords and ribs can be made into bone shields. They are worth tens of thousands of gold and are an honor to demonstrate bravery. Only in orc wars do we have the opportunity to see many bone swords and bone shields, but this is neither wealth nor glory.
, merely extraordinary weapons and shields that help us survive.”
"Not for sale...given to those who can give full play to their extraordinary properties."
With a smile on his lips, Victor put down the bone stick, and his dark golden eyes swept over Caligula, Charlotte, Brandon, and Klaus; he glanced at Red Wolf, Rogers, and Marcy; he glanced at Rose.
Knights and arcane warriors; they glanced at everyone present until they straightened their backs, then put away their unclear smiles and said solemnly:
"Decomposing the loot is not an important job... it is a necessary job. When I am alone, as long as I have the conditions and time, I will do what you are doing. When you are by my side, in addition to cooperating with me
During the battle, you have to collect the loot for me. If someone doesn't like doing this kind of thing, then treat it as a training. Whether you like it or not, whether you are happy or not, you must do everything possible to help more people survive.
, until this war is won.
"Remember, this is part of the war and we are in it."
"That's good...but that's my trophy. Your ogre warlord has been shattered."
Roland walked over with a smile on his hands, and beside him was the tall and cool Gillian. I don’t know when the stingy and money-loving Miss Chebman became her good friend.
"Go to work."
Everyone cheered and dispersed, each continuing to deal with the orc trophies. Victor called for the breeze to clean the blood on his hands, and said lightly: "The bones of the Ogre Overseer are still intact."
Roland's expression froze, and he glared at Victor angrily. The void water element has the killing properties of freezing, penetrating, and corroding. Her mithril penetrated the violent ogre's head from the ear, killing him with one blow without damaging the tendons and heart.
, it can be called a perfect kill. Victor killed the Ogre Overseer. It seemed easy and freehand, but in fact, severing the tendons all over its body was not only wasteful, but also simply brutal. However, the quality of the Ogre Overseer's skeleton was better than that of the violent cannibal.
It is an undeniable fact that the demon leader is a level higher.
Gillian's eyes shone, and she pointed at her nose and asked, "Dear, are the bones of the Ogre Overseer given to me?"
The elemental affinity of biomass is generally higher than that of mithril. Ogres can be said to be monsters with affinity to the earth element. Their skeletons are tough enough and particularly affinity to the element of the void. The bone swords and bone shields they make,
Arm armor and leg armor are very suitable for the Earth Knight. However, the better the equipment, the greater the responsibility. Victor does not want Gillian to face the enemy head-on like the Earth Knight. She is currently only a junior Silver Knight, and her strength is far greater than
An Earth Knight who does not resonate with the 36 elemental positions should not bear the responsibility of an Earth Knight, and naturally cannot obtain the best equipment.
"...This." Victor hesitated for a moment and said tactfully: "My dear, the bone equipment is too ugly and not worthy of your beauty."
Jillian shook her head repeatedly, patted her high chest, and said, "It's not ugly, I will polish it beautifully...I promise."
"Promise is useless." Victor shook his head and said bluntly: "For the bone equipment of the ogre, priority is given to the earth knights in the vanguard army and the main reinforcements. If you follow me, you will basically not be able to use these equipment."
Amber eyes stared at Victor's face for a while, and Gillian pursed her lips and smiled: "Sorry, dear, I decided not to follow you... I want to follow Roland."
Jillian's eyes expressed seriousness and nostalgia, and Victor became serious and asked in a deep voice: "You have to think about it carefully."
"Yes, I have considered it very clearly. I will only slow down your hunting of strong orcs." Jillian nodded, took Victor's hand, and said softly but firmly: "I have more than 100
I cannot abandon these family followers. If we all follow you around to hunt strong orcs, it will not be of much help and will increase the pressure on supplies. I want to use my sword to win my own glory."
Victor tried to persuade Gillian to change her mind and said seductively: "If you don't follow me, I won't be able to give you the skeleton of the Ogre Overseer. If you follow me, maybe you will get better loot."
Jillian threw Victor's hand away, raised her charming and pointed chin, and said with feigned anger: "I won't give it to you if you don't want to. Anyway, you owe me several courtship gifts."
"Baby, I'll give you my spoils." Roland smiled like a flower, hugged Jillian's waist, kissed her on the cheek, and raised his eyebrows at Victor provocatively.
Do you really want to poach my corner?
The suspicion in Victor's eyes grew stronger, and with a stern face, he asked in a low voice: "Roland, what kind of ecstasy potion did you pour into Gillian?"
Jillian, who had always been arrogant and domineering, turned red in the face, shook Roland's arm away, walked back slightly panicked, and said: "I'll go see my trophies again... If they die, they won't be worth anything.
"
Her trophy is 8 living dragon-veined kobolds. This kind of monster has its own talent for treasure hunting and can find rare minerals and gems. However, the church strictly prohibits lords from raising orcs, which is even more serious than raising wizards. Because no orcs can be found.
Holy light heals them. They belong to the evil intelligent species designated by the Lord of Radiance. But even so, some people still secretly use the treasure-hunting characteristics of dragon-veined kobolds to search for rare mineral veins such as mithril and fine gold. However, the Vanguard Army, in front of the battle priest,
Compared with the paladin, there is only one fate for the captured dragon-veined kobolds. They are transported to the rear and made into dragon-vein potions. A living dragon-veined kobold is worth 30 kobold hearts and can be used to make 10 top-level dragon-veined potions. Lucky
An caught 8 of them, and could exchange them with the church for 80 body reshaping quotas, which was equivalent to 70,000 gold soles, and it was the kind that had a price but no market.
This is how war wealth is made, but it must be exchanged for the lives of soldiers.
Victor looked away from Jillian's back and frowned: "Jillian, she..."
"She was promoted to the Silver rank early for her father, and almost died at the hands of Ant-Man... She is willful, young, and innocent, just like my sister, but she has her own pride. She is the Silver Knight Gilly
Ann Chebman." Roland crackled.
Victor laughed dumbly and shook his head: "Sister? You are obviously older than her..."
"You are mistaken, I am younger than her." Roland nodded seriously.
Victor glanced at the eldest princess's breastplate, nodded and said, "Well, you are smaller than her."
Roland's eyebrows were raised like swords, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You know nothing! The styles of armor are different..."
Victor looked at Roland who was full of anger in surprise and asked: "What does it have to do with armor? I said you are younger than Jillian, but you are stronger than her."
"You bastard!"
"Let's go to the lake and talk."
To be continued...
