Chapter 177: A Pyrrhic Victory


In front of the ancient tribe, the sound of killing gradually subsided.With the last orc being slain, the battle is finally over.In this battle, 10,000 wolf riders, tens of thousands of orcs, 300 mammoth beasts, and 100 griffin cavalry, after a whole day of fierce fighting, finally won in the evening.The invading enemy coefficient was killed, and even with an elder of the beast clan, the second highness of the beast clan all fell here.As the sun fell, the entire battlefield looked extremely depressed, with ruined walls, corpses all over the ground, and blood pooling into streams.The thick smell of blood drifted for dozens of miles, condensing into pieces of blood mist in the sky, and the anger was overwhelming, and the resentment was pervasive.In front of the ruins of the ruined city walls, tribal warriors dragged their scarred bodies and searched the entire battlefield with their tired bodies, killing the fish that slipped through the net."

Aang!"

There were mammoth beasts wailing, bound by bronze chains, locked up, and captured alive one after another.As for the orcs, they lost their minds after going berserk and refused to surrender as slaves, so they were directly slaughtered, but they captured a large number of excellent mounts.For example, the dire wolf, 10,000 beast wolf riders, suffered casualties in this battle, leaving only thousands of dire wolves to be deliberately retained and captured back to the tribe.More than 5,000 dire wolves, although most of them were injured, were not life-threatening, and they were able to recover quickly, thus becoming excellent mounts.Dire wolves that have been domesticated naturally do not need to be re-domesticated in the hands of the tribe, and they can quickly adapt to form a wolf horse.As for those mammoths, their five-meter-tall bodies and thick fur have strong defensive power, which is even more comparable to the powerful power of the Qi Refining Realm, and they are rare barbarian beasts.The Orcs brought three hundred mammoth beasts this time, and more than a hundred died in the course of the battle, leaving only about one hundred and eighty still alive.Of course, some of them are seriously injured and need to be treated well to recover, but they are already a lot of trophies.Mammoths, both in strength and defense, are extremely powerful, and can even be used to transport large quantities of supplies, hauling wood, ore, etc."

Roar!"

There were griffins wailing and struggling, but unfortunately they were firmly locked in their wings and could not fly.One by one, the griffins were knocked down, and they had no chance to run, so Gu Chen personally shot the orc cavalry above with a war bow, and then captured these griffins.Before they could react, they were taken down by Gu Chen.The flying cavalry is a special type of troops, so naturally those griffins can't be spared.Of the hundred griffins, about twenty were torn off, and none of the remaining eighty griffons escaped, and all of them were taken down and captured by Gu Chen himself.The war was over, but there was no sense of joy in everyone, but a sense of sadness and heaviness.One by one, they dragged their tired bodies to all corners of the battlefield, moved out the corpses of their clansmen, and cleaned up the battlefield.It is also necessary to clean up the corpses of the orcs, as well as collect the loot.Under the setting sun, a figure slowly walked across the battlefield, its body stained red with blood, as if it had just crawled out of the sea of hell blood.It was Gu Chen, the bronze secret armor on his body was tattered, and there were drops of blood flowing from it, viscous, bloody, and terrifying.He was silent, stepping on the sticky and muddy blood water step by step, stepping over corpses, stepping on stumps and severed arms.And on his body, there were thick blood gases around him, and strange blood qi poured from corpses in all directions.Without exception, these blood qi energies were absorbed by the mysterious beads in the Purple Mansion Consciousness Sea, filling the energy consumed inside.The entire battlefield was quiet, only the sound of Gu Chen stepping on the blood water step by step, and bursts of blood splashed with each step.He is like a great demon, and like a Shura, surrounded by blood, evil energy, and even a cloud of resentment.Blood clouds gathered in the sky over the entire battlefield, and the evil qi was rolling, as if there were countless wails reverberating, revealing deep resentment.Gu Chen walked all the way, and finally stood on the ruins of a section of the city wall, looking around the entire battlefield, his thin figure looked a little gloomy and lonely.The casualties in this battle were too tragic, and although it was said to be a victory, it was a tragic victory."

Patriarch!"

Just as he was thinking, a tired voice came.When he looked back, he saw Hei Tu dragging his scarred body up, with a sad expression on his face."

What about the casualties?"

Gu Chen asked with a blank face.Hei Tu's face was sad, and he said in a low voice: "Patriarch, the preliminary count has come out, the number of dead in this battle is 13,650 people, the number of seriously injured and the number of minor injuries have not been counted, and" Hei Tu said with some hesitation, making Gu Chen's heart sink, a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he was in a very bad mood.He expected that the casualties would be very large, but he didn't expect them to be so serious, and more than 13,600 people died in this battle, which can be said to be a bit heavy in casualties.It was a pyrrhic victory.Of course, the good thing is that most of the dead and wounded are some ordinary young Zhuang people, and the real elite part, wearing bronze armor, the number of casualties is not too much.There was no way, the tribe had just started, and before its real strength had developed, it faced the attack of tens of thousands of orcs, plus three hundred mammoths, and directly destroyed the city wall.There is also an elder of the orc clan, Second Highness, both orcs are strong, if it weren't for Gu Chen's best efforts and burst out all the hole cards, he might not be able to block it at all.If there was no powerful force in Gu Chen, there would be no thought of confrontation at all, let alone the current victory."

And what?"

Gu Chen asked softly.Heitu hesitated for a moment before sighing, "Patriarch, Temuta is dead. ”Airplanes!

Gu Chen's heart was shocked, and the breath on his body fluctuated slightly, causing the ruins to tremble slightly, and the rubble rolled down.Hei Tu trembled a little, lowered his head, and his face was full of sadness, Temuno was the patriarch of the original Ebony tribe, and he had just integrated into the tribe not long ago.I didn't expect to die in this battle, which made everyone feel very uncomfortable.Gu Chen turned around and leaped, and walked quickly to a large pit, where there was a bloody corpse, none other than Tiemu."

Tiemu" Gu Chen stood in front of the pit, looking at Tiemu's corpse, his face was complicated, sad, heavy, and his anger was constantly intertwined.He naturally felt very heavy, his tribe had lost more than 10,000 people in this battle, and he also lost one of the pillars of the current tribe.Tiemu was a strong man in the Bone Forging Realm, and his combat power was good, but after all, he fell and died in this battle, and died in the hands of the elder of the beast clan."

Send the order down, clean up the battlefield, and pile up all the corpses of the orcs outside the tribe to use as bait to hunt wild beasts in the mountains and forests."

Gu Chen's eyes were cold, and he was blazing with a fierce light, and even the black soil felt a trace of the coldness of the cold skull.Then, Gu Chen continued: "Collect all the loot, weapons, armor, and the corpses of the mounts. ”"Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible before dark, treat the wounded, and divide a part of the clan to carry out patrols and vigilance."

Gu Chen made arrangements and instructions word by word, and after the end of the war, there were still a lot of things and work to deal with and wrap up.It takes a lot of time just to clean up the battlefield, let alone collect loot.As for the issue of dealing with the corpses of the clansmen killed in battle, Gu Chen had a vague idea in his heart, just waiting for tomorrow morning.Tonight, countless people are destined to have no sleep.The orcs attacked, and although the tribe won the war, everyone was not happy, and many of the tribesmen were even more grief-stricken."

The walls of the rocks are still not enough."

Looking at the huge city wall that had turned into ruins, Gu Chen's eyes showed a hint of contemplation, the city wall made of rock rammed earth was finally broken, and it became a ruin in a major war.How can this continue?

Don't say anything else, it's normal to think about it, it's normal for a strong person in this world to collapse with one hand, what's so strange about destroying the city wall?

But after this battle, it became clear to Gu Chen that these ordinary rock-made walls were simply vulnerable, and perhaps, a stronger and stronger barrier should be built."

I'll leave it to you."

Gu Chen turned around and returned to the tribe, and before leaving, he collected the body of the flying dragon, leaving only the black soil to lead people here to clean up the battlefield.The war is over.As the patriarch, Gu Chen needs to think carefully about the next tribal development and deal with the next greater crisis.In Gu Chen's opinion, the strength of the tribe is still too weak, and it must become stronger and expanded.
