Chapter 306: Nield's Post-War
"Leia" disappeared right under Rillifane's nose. This human who disguised herself as her new believer disappeared without a trace, as if melted by the air.
Originally, the old skeleton thought that this powerful being would chat about the plane war before leaving.
As a result, this black-haired human chatted with Alduin and the others about gossip and history for a long time.
Until the entire body disappeared, nothing major happened that attracted people's attention.
There is one thing that makes the old skeleton a little curious, that is, this human being was actually active in ancient times.
You have to know that at that time, even the elves were just a group of primitive species who had just formed clans and tribes, not to mention humans who only began to prosper in the Third Age.
Therefore, the old skeleton is more willing to believe what Iris said:
This is a time traveler who can travel to any time at will.
"Old guys, let's go back first."
The three old guys supported each other and limped towards the town.
……
That night, the Nield people, as hosts, held a grand bonfire party in the square in the center of the town.
Liz Tomba brought not only reinforcements but also food and supplies to exchange for iron ore.
Although a large number of half-dragon troops were defeated this time, Nield suffered heavy losses.
The number of Nield fighters in Annie's hands was reduced from one hundred to the last twenty. This was because the half-lings were light and agile, allowing them to avoid the death rays fired by the half-dragons.
Tomba brought more than 300 people with him, and lost more than half of them in this battle;
Fortunately, all the precious spellcasters are alive.
The one who suffered the most was Percy. This time, the reinforcements from Huiyao City led by him were only left with a hundred complete soldiers and dozens of seriously injured soldiers with missing limbs.
Even the paladins of the Church of Tyr were almost wiped out.
Although the wounded were treated in time with the help of the priests, these highest and middle-level priests did not know such high-end spells as regenerating severed limbs.
Percy could already imagine that after returning to Radiant City, he and Shuman would face verbal attacks from the parliament.
Unlike several commanders who were full of worries, the group of ordinary soldiers who survived the disaster were making a lot of noise around a huge bonfire, venting their fear and excitement.
The generous orc took out the chewing potato wine he carried with him, which was a new drink produced by the Wasteland Clan.
"It's unbelievable..."
Liz Varam sat at the door of the noble building, holding a not-so-delicious barbecue and watching the revelry crowd in the distance.
"When I was a child, I heard about the cruelty and brutality of the orc war. I never thought that now, the two races that once fought to the death would fight side by side."
"is not that right……"
The halfling Annie is also sitting here.
She did not serve food to the warriors by the campfire like the other Nields, but sat alone in the shadows, looking unhappy.
After taking a bite of the steak in her hand, Annie still felt it tasted like chewing wax, even though the sisters in charge of logistics had specially added precious seasonings.
"Yani, don't be depressed.
The fate of most soldiers is to die on the battlefield."
Liz picked up a piece of meat with a fork, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.
"It tastes really good! It seems that among the Nield people, there are experts who are very good at gourmet food."
Annie put down the plate in her hand, picked up the wooden cup next to her, and took a big gulp of the drink contributed by the orcs.
"Ahem -- gurgle -- ahem -- ahem --
It’s really spicy…”
The Halfling Paladin was used to drinking the red wine produced in Shining City, and found it difficult to adapt to the crude brewing process of the orcs.
"Ms. Liz, when we had a conflict, the total number of soldiers killed in the two-month conflict was less than ten...
But today, in just one morning, we lost hundreds of our companions..."
Yani tilted her neck back and took another big gulp of the clear liquid, which was then followed by another choking sound.
A few drops of wine flowed down her chin and dripped onto the blood-stained and tattered maid outfit.
"Yes."
Liz also raised her glass and sniffed it.
But she quickly frowned and put the drink aside.
"This is war, real war—"
"It seems that this beautiful lady has a deep misunderstanding about war!"
A sound like a bellows sounded behind him, and an undead skeleton in a white robe suddenly appeared at the door of the noble building.
"Ah! Undead!"
When Annie saw Rillifane for the first time, she was so scared under the influence of alcohol that she wanted to chant a spell to dispel the undead.
Instead, Liz beside him stood up and gave the old skeleton an aristocratic greeting.
"Faithless Lizzie, greetings to His Majesty Rillifane."
"Oh? You know me?"
After taking a look at Ivan who had regained his human form in the room, the old skeleton decided to go outside to relax and ease the depressed mood caused by the series of setbacks he had suffered today.
As a result, this human female whom he had never met before actually called out his name accurately.
"Of course, but you may not remember me at all. Twelve years ago, my elder brother and I entered the Gray Haze Forest to escape the war..."
"Ahaha! You are the little human girl back then!
They've grown so tall.
Tsk tsk tsk, you humans are growing really fast."
Liz bowed respectfully. As a human who was disappointed with the gods, it was hard to imagine that she would be so respectful to an elven god.
"Then we still have to thank you for helping us back then."
"I remember that you two were almost swallowed by an unconscious undead giant bear...
By the way, where is your brother?"
The blonde girl's eyes suddenly darkened, and Annie, who was eating melon nearby, suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Dead...died at the hands of a mad god..."
"Um...my condolences."
“It’s nothing, I have stopped my faith and live in this world with complete free will.
Oh, Lord Rillifane...
You just said that I had a big misunderstanding about the war, is it because the scale of this war is not big enough? "
Although Rillifen was Liz's childhood savior, if the other party "looked down on" the sacrifice of these soldiers today, as the leader of the family soldiers, she still had to argue with him.
“No, that’s not the case…
Real war is far more despairing than what we are experiencing today.
I met a fellow tribesman today, and it reminded me of some bad stories. "
