The knight in the abyss

Chapter 649 Farewell
When the No. 2 Balrog General passed by the mercenaries, Lancelot had already obtained the exact number of casualties: 470 people were killed and 120 people were seriously injured.Among the mercenaries, there were less than ten priests. Of course, it was impossible to cure everyone with these few, and their spellcasting times had also been used up in the battle just now.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to stabilize the injuries of the seriously wounded. You just need to treat the wounds and cast a 0-ring magical spell called 'Life-keeping'. But if you want to get further treatment, you can only wait until you return to Shuangqiao After the town.In addition, Lancelot is also helping the priests. Although he cannot cast healing spells, he has rich experience in treating wounds. Coupled with a trace of pure true energy injected into the target's body, the effect may not be better than the spells of the priests. poor.

Almost all the mercenaries were defeated, but compared with mortals, the recovery ability of demons was obviously much stronger. Even without any treatment, their injuries could recover slowly.Although the speed is not as exaggerated as that of trolls, but according to Lancelot's estimation, ordinary berserkers can recover from serious injuries to minor injuries in up to three days, and those with minor injuries can fully recover, which shows that they have supernatural powers as demons. vitality.

In addition to the dead and seriously wounded, there were 230 moderately wounded.These people either had a broken arm or were poked blind in one eye. Although they still had some combat effectiveness, Lancelow decided to let them return to Shuangqiao Town with the seriously injured on the grounds that those people needed escorts.

To his surprise, Sonam agreed to this proposal very happily. Of course, the reason was not that the snake demon suddenly showed kindness (what a joke), but that she thought those people had become a burden. Said that they will not be allowed to continue to follow the team.

The mercenaries who returned to Twinbridge Town will receive the kill bonus that almost cost them their lives, but the employment contract ends here, and this may mean the end of their adventurous career - rebirth of severed limbs It is an effect that can only be achieved by high-level magic, and the cost is very expensive. If you have not had the habit of saving money in your previous adventure career, it may be difficult to afford this kind of service.

But this is the price of a career like a bloodbath mercenary.

Thanks to the fact that each mercenary had a metal plaque recording his military exploits, the officers quickly summed up the exact number of enemies killed: 360 and [-] devils, all of them were beard demons (of course, the deep-hell fiend was not counted) to Lancelot).Judging from the numbers, the mercenary army obviously won a beautiful battle, and it was still under surprise attack.This is fully enough to prove the powerful combat effectiveness of the mercenaries—adventurers who dare to take the initiative to earn money in the abyss may have some brain problems, and their strength must be higher than ordinary low-level demons.

If it was a demon army that was attacked just now, the casualty ratio would be very ugly—the demons would first kill the weak, stupid, and uncooperative cowards like chickens, and then rely on the superiority of numbers to kill the weak, stupid, and uncooperative cowards. Fighting mid-level demons surrounded one by one.Only the top ballors have the upper hand on the demon side: being completely immune to fire and damage, they always have the upper hand in battles against pit fiends, but this advantage is not large enough to wipe out half an army , not even a quarter.

To Lancelot's surprise, the mercenaries' request to rest in place did not require anyone's consent - Sonam just 'informed' General Black-armored Balrog of his decision, and the other party shrugged and moved on.The demons behind would cast curious glances at the mercenaries as they passed by (and more so at the mountain of demon corpses next to them), but no one was interested in stopping to mind their business, it was just so messy and noisy walked over.

About three hours later, 'Madame Spider' Ilmaris and her army of spider demons appeared in everyone's field of vision, and they were the last troops of the coalition forces.Lancelot took his own General Serpent to see off the wounded soldiers who had left.The walking ones, covered in bandages, moved forward silently, while on the flatbed behind them lay their badly wounded companions - a few groaning at every jolt, many more completely unconscious state.

Suddenly, a certain mercenary who walked past Sonam stopped and turned to face the lizard.

"Thank you, General." The mercenary saluted solemnly, then nodded to Lancelot, "And you, Your Excellency Prince. I will always remember you both."

'What is he doing? '

Sonam's telepathy immediately sounded in Lancelow's consciousness.And the next mercenary who passed by did the same thing, and added a sentence at the end:
"It's an honor to fight alongside you, ma'am, and I wish you all the best."

More mercenaries also made the same move, and Sonam's contempt for everything suddenly disappeared, and the whole person froze in place as if petrified.

' They're saying thank you, that's all. '

'Why should you thank me? '

'Because you did what a good general should do in the eyes of mortals, but they didn't expect you to do it. '

'Just because I allowed them to deal with the injury? '

'right.And let them return to Shuangqiao Town in an organized manner, instead of staying where they are and waiting to die. '

'What a ridiculous reason... what should I do now? '

'You don't have to do anything, it's enough for you to be here.Of course, a little nod in return would be even better. '

So when the next mercenary bowed to her, the six-armed snake lowered its chin by about half a finger.

"You fought well, and I hope to have a chance to fight together in the future..." Sonam suddenly said on his own initiative, "But at that time, you'd better be a demon instead of the fragile mortal body now."

"General..." The mercenary opened his mouth wide in surprise, with a dumbfounding expression on his face, "I... thank you for your kindness."

"You're welcome." Sonam glared at him viciously, "Go ahead quickly, you're blocking the way!"

"Of order!" the man replied loudly, striding forward, his figure seemed to be much more relaxed.

'Am I doing well? Sonam's voice sounded in Lancelot's heart again, "He seemed quite happy. '

'You did a great job. ' Lancelot encouraged sincerely, 'but they may not be used to hearing the blessing of becoming a demon. '

'I know. ’ The lizard’s voice sounded like a child up to a trick, ‘but if it was a demon, I wouldn’t have to pay them. '
