Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 301 Painful Price
The camp of the lizard people is only in one place after all, and their three forces are operating around the camp of the lizard people.

It is definitely not realistic to say that it is completely impossible to meet other forces during this period.

The appearance of the centaur clan at this moment undoubtedly saved Li Ce and the others some effort, and at the same time further reduced the risks they had to bear.

After confirming that the big lizard was really dead, Li Ce's hanging heart was finally able to be completely put back in his stomach.

"Leader Drogo, thank you for your help this time."

While speaking, Li Ce rode on the horse and clasped fists at Drogo and the others who came to support them.

"It's a small matter, the lieutenant is welcome."

Not to mention the friendship between them, but since the centaur escaped from the energy channel, they all healed, ate and rested in Grassland Village, so there was no need for Li Ce to be polite to them.

Drogo and the others undoubtedly contributed to some information from the lizardman's side when discussing tactics, and even conducted targeted discussions.

But talking about war on paper is easy after all, and fighting in actual combat is another matter entirely.

Not to mention that Drogo's mouth has always been unfavorable. In fact, he can't say anything at all in many places. In addition, different individuals have completely different feelings about the gap in strength.

This led to Li Ce's first confrontation with the lizardman, and they suffered too many accidents, and the fight was quite brutal.

After simply thanking them, Drogo didn't turn his head and leave. Judging from Li Ce's current state, they knew that they needed help here.

Looking at the corpse of the big lizard, Drogo said directly...

"The meat is edible and tastes good. It tastes like chicken, but I think it tastes better than chicken."

"..."

Needless to say, when they broke into the opposite world through the energy channel, Drogo and the others had already killed and ate them. Otherwise, how could they have survived without food for such a long time?
Originally, Li Ce saw that the big lizard was so big that it might be difficult to carry it, so he planned to leave it here first.

But when he heard that the meat was edible, he changed his mind.

Their cavalry team undoubtedly needed food supplies when they were fighting outside. Even if they brought dry food, it was impossible for them to leave the meat delivered to their door.

Not to mention that after confirming that the meat is edible, they don't want it, and the lizardman finds it later, picks it up and eats it. Isn't that sending food to the other side?
A large part of the reason why Li Ce attacked the lizardman's hunting team here was to cut off the food supply of the lizardman.

With this as a premise, how can there be any reason to leave food for the enemy at this moment?
"Hurry up, pick the meat and take it away!"

While speaking, Li Ce also signaled Drogo and the others to come up and share the meat.

The tribes that lived on the grassland had to have guaranteed hunting skills, and no one was bad at skinning and picking meat.

Although the big lizard looked big, under the premise that the centaurs came up to help, they quickly shaved off the big lizard's flesh.

During the period, Li Ce also cut off the big lizard's heart and cut it open, wanting to see if there was any 'blood' in it.

Facts have proved that he thought too much. Although this big lizard is not ordinary, it is obviously not yet at the level of an extraordinary creature.

After packing all the meat, Li Ce got on his horse and glanced at the skeleton of the big lizard before leaving.

Considering their "skeleton" mantra, the skeleton of the big lizard is of great value to them.

But right now he is leading the cavalry to fight outside, and it is not realistic to carry such a large skeleton.

I have no choice but to leave it here first, and see you later.

Call Drogo and the others, and they quickly return to the original battlefield.

At this moment, the No. [-] team and some of the wounded who stayed here have roughly tidied up the battlefield.

The arrows shot out have been recovered as much as possible, and at the moment they are dealing with the bodies of the two bison that were hunted and killed on the opposite side.

"Lieutenant."

Seeing Li Ce and the others come back, the captain of the No. [-] team hurried forward to report.

After talking about the general situation, the captain's voice became obviously heavy when it came to the casualties of his own side.

"Five people died here..."

Speaking of this, the captain, who was breathing a little faster, immediately took a deep breath and controlled his emotions.

"Five people were killed in battle, two were seriously injured, three horses were killed and one was seriously injured."

This is not considered a serious injury.

Take the captain of the No. [-] team in front of you as an example. He is covered in blood now. Do you dare to say that his injury is light?

At that time, when they confronted the Lizardmen's speed dragon cavalry head-on, their No. [-] Squad suffered the heaviest losses. Among the five brothers who died in battle, three were from No. [-] Squad.

In other words, the No. [-] Squad was all dead except for him, the captain, and the soldier whose horse lost control and ran away.

To be honest, he, the captain, was lucky to survive. If it wasn't for the rattan armor he was wearing, he would have died at least three times in that scuffle!
At this moment, Li Ce's heart was extremely heavy.

Except when they faced the hyenas in the early years, how long had it been since they suffered such tragic casualties?

They brought out twenty cavalry, but almost half of them were defeated in the first battle. They faced only a hunting party from the other side.

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Ce forced himself to calm down. Anyone can mess up here, but only he can't.

He is the highest officer here, so he must keep a cool head and make the most rational judgment.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ce pointed out two soldiers who were obviously seriously injured.

"Both of you, ride horses and drag out the two wooden carts that were hidden."

"Yes!"

With a response, the two soldiers rushed to perform the task.

But Li Ce's gaze fell on the seriously injured horse.

What these horses injured was the belly of the horse, and the internal organs were already hanging out, and its whole body was shaking from the pain.

Li Ce reached out and touched its head, and the war horse whimpered a few times, making Li Ce's eyes uncontrollably filled with pain.

"Give it a good time."

"Lieutenant!"

When they heard that they were going to kill the horse, the surrounding soldiers' eyes turned red.

For them who have been riding horses all year round and receiving cavalry training, these war horses are basically no different from their comrades in arms.

But if he stopped, he couldn't say anything.

With such an injury, it can no longer survive, and they all know this in their hearts.

"Let me do it."

While speaking, Li Ce was about to pull out the dagger pinned to his waist, but was stopped by a voice.

"I come."

Those two simple words, but the hoarse voice was trembling uncontrollably.

"It is my partner, and I should be the one to send it on its last journey."

During the melee, his horse was injured, and he fell off the horse with him, directly breaking a leg, and a bloody hole was poked in his right shoulder by the lizard man's spear.

At the moment when the dagger was stabbed, the soldier who was so injured that he didn't shed a single tear broke down in tears.

That stab seemed to have exhausted all his strength, causing him to collapse on the ground...
