Chapter 818 A large number of corpses Early the next morning, the coalition forces packed their bags and continued to march towards the central area of ​​the Psychedelic Valley.

That unlucky mercenary group was the first batch of human mercenaries that the coalition forces saw after entering the psychedelic valley, but it would definitely not be the last batch!

Almost every tens of meters to hundreds of meters deep, members of the coalition forces will find human corpses. According to everyone's judgment, these human corpses should not all be mercenaries from other countries who came to the kingdom of Wilson for adventure. Yes, some of them are mercenaries or soldiers from the Kingdom of Wilson!

The clothes of the mercenaries of the Kingdom of Wilson are not much different from those of other countries. It is impossible to tell who the corpses belong to only from the clothes, but the soldiers of the Kingdom of Wilson are very easy to identify. They were all wearing uniform military uniforms, which was very obvious, especially since Nicholas, the leader of the Kingdom of Wilson, was in the coalition army, so they could be recognized immediately.

"These corpses may be left behind when the Kingdom of Wilson sent troops into the Psychedelic Valley, so they are wearing the military uniform of the Kingdom of Wilson."

O'Kriman's words did not arouse any controversy among the members of the coalition forces. In fact, when they saw these corpses, most members had already made similar judgments. After all, these corpses don't look very fresh, so they shouldn't have died recently. Yes, but it is impossible for them to die for too long, at most within a few months, or the corpses would have been completely rotted long ago, and it would be impossible to keep them forever.

"These soldiers are really unlucky. They didn't die on the frontal battlefield, but they died here in a daze, and became a pathfinder for those in power. It's really sad!" Alex said with emotion.

"Anyway, it's death. What's the difference between dying on the battlefield and dying here?" Nicholas looked at Erics, and then at the members of the coalition with the same heavy heart, feeling very inexplicable.

In fact, this is the difference between the different cultures of the Skansen Kingdom and the Wilson Kingdom.

In the Kingdom of Skansen, due to the superior geographical environment, mercenaries have become a popular industry, while soldiers are a relatively unpopular industry. The vast majority of civilian-born professionals will choose to become mercenaries, and few are willing to become soldiers. of.

In order to encourage more ordinary people to join the army, the upper echelons and aristocrats of the Skansen Kingdom deliberately raised the status of soldiers and publicized the benefits of sacrificing for the country.All ordinary families who join the army can enjoy the preferential policy of halving their taxes, and once they die on the battlefield, not only can they get a generous pension, but the whole family can also be taken care of, and even directly exempted from paying taxes for more than ten years. tax.

Through the implementation of various policies, coupled with various positive publicity, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Skansen have become a noble profession, and many young people have chosen to join the army because of this, although this makes the number of troops in the Kingdom of Skansen There has been a certain increase, but compared with young people who are willing to become mercenaries, there is still a very big gap.

After all, the money earned by serving as a soldier is fixed, and it is impossible for the Kingdom of Skansen to give soldiers too much favorable treatment, otherwise, even the wealth of the Kingdom of Skansen would not be able to support it.So even though soldiers have a high status and are highly respected, there are still a small number of young people who are really willing to join the army.

Another point is that even if these young people join the army, their status as ordinary people determines that it is impossible for them to rise to a high level. A particularly big change, otherwise it would be impossible for ordinary people to cross that gap.

The reputation is high, but the money is not much, and the future is not bright, this is the current situation of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Skansen.

But becoming a mercenary is different. You may earn less at the beginning, but as your strength improves, you will earn more and more money, and occasionally you can make a lot of money if you are lucky. Soldiers can't compare.

The members of the Heavy Rain Mercenary Corps and the Glorious Mercenary Corps are basically natives of the Skansen Kingdom. Although they also admire and admire the soldiers in their hearts, they all choose to become mercenaries in the end. This is the reality.

The situation in the Kingdom of Wilson was different.The Kingdom of Wilson has been suppressing the development of mercenaries, and even formulated a very strict system. The purpose is to control the number of mercenaries within a certain range. Otherwise, you can only embark on the road of joining the army as a soldier.

In this way, it is impossible for the people of the Kingdom of Wilson to have a strong sense of belonging to the soldiers. In addition, the Kingdom of Wilson often wages wars with neighboring countries, so wars cannot avoid casualties. The soldiers don't have a generous pension, so the residents of the Kingdom of Wilson don't have a good impression of the soldiers, on the contrary they hate them very much.

It was for this reason that Nicholas, who was born in the Kingdom of Wilson, was very indifferent to the soldiers, which was in stark contrast to the reactions of other members of the coalition forces.

Seeing that Erics and Nicholas were still arguing, Li Yan interrupted quickly. "The national conditions are different, and everyone's views on soldiers are naturally different. There is nothing to argue about."

What deserves the most attention now is not the origin of these corpses, but the scars on these corpses, this is the point!

People with good eyesight can judge from these scars how they died, whether they died in an illusion, at the hands of monsters, or at the hands of humans, and this also determines whether the next journey of the coalition forces will be There was an accident.

If these corpses all died of illusions, it means that there should not be too many monsters living nearby, which is undoubtedly good news for the coalition forces.

But if these corpses all died at the hands of monsters, then it is necessary to carefully identify what kind of monsters they died at.Was he killed by facing the enemy head-on, or was he killed by a sneak attack without paying attention?Did he die in the hands of a large monster, or in the hands of a small monster?Die under the claws of the monster, or die under the magic of the monster?

All of these are exquisite, and it is not enough to just look at them casually.For an inexperienced person like Li Yan, even if he was asked to watch it for ten days and a half a month, he would not be able to say anything of value.

This job is naturally dominated by the experienced O'Kriman and others. Even the stronger Mike is inferior to O'Kriman and the others in this aspect, so he can only obediently listen to them from behind. judge.

In addition to inspecting the wounds of the corpse, the other members of the coalition under the leadership of Emma took on the heavy responsibility of vigilance.It has not yet been determined how these corpses died. If they were really killed by monsters, it would prove that there are a large number of monsters living nearby.
