Chapter 302: Reaching a Consensus
Li Ce didn't want to say what was next, but he had no choice.
At the same time, the soldiers under his command had probably already guessed it.
"The meat of the four dead war horses was removed."
“…”
At this moment, whether it was Li Ce who said these words, or the soldiers who listened to these words, their expressions were somewhat ferocious.
"yes."
But they had no choice.
In order to transport supplies, they brought out two wooden carts and hid them in a hill, but the transportation capacity of the two wooden carts was limited.
The war horses were large, and their seriously injured and sacrificed comrades had to be sent back, so where was the space to place four war horses? They could only deal with them on the spot! In fact, it was not only the war horses that needed to be shaved, but also the bodies of the lizardmen.
Compared to the pain of dealing with the corpses of the war horses, they obviously felt no psychological pressure when dealing with the ten corpses of lizardmen.
When the processing was almost done, Li Ce only needed to use a "Skeleton Soldier Control" to easily complete the finishing work and transform them into ten clean skeleton soldiers.
As for the ten velociraptors' corpses, he didn't have the mantra of 'beast' and couldn't control them directly, but it would undoubtedly be a pity to throw them away.
In terms of size, these velociraptors are only about half the size of war horses. Compared with war horses, their bodies are also relatively thin. After shaving the meat and breaking them into bones, they can be placed on a wooden cart and taken back. I think there shouldn't be any problem.
On their side, while they had basically finished all the subsequent post-war work, the two soldiers had already returned in their carriage.
Carrying the seriously injured and sacrificed comrades, as well as the skeleton of the speed dragon, the two carriages quickly left, and Li Ce, Zhuo Ge and others also moved quickly.
After that, time passed quietly and the sun set...
This was definitely not a peaceful day for the lizard people.
On the first day of the operation, the three forces, including the grassland elves, all tacitly chose to search the opposing hunting team on the periphery and launch an attack.
By denying their method of obtaining food, they forced the Lizardmen to retreat.
At the end of the day, all the hunting teams that were sent out returned to the camp one after another, but two of them were still not back, which made the lizardmen realize something.
Cavalry units can never be cheap units no matter where they are placed, and the same goes for Lizardmen.
Moreover, velociraptors are carnivores, and the cost of raising one is only higher than raising a horse.
The two teams of velociraptors disappeared after going out hunting. This was not something that the Lizardmen could ignore, not to mention that one of them was a large team.
Generally, the hunting teams of Lizardmen are composed of dragoons, but the normal size is a team of five. The team of ten focuses on large prey. In order to facilitate the transportation of prey, a giant lizard is usually added, which makes the value of this team even greater and makes the commander of the Lizardman camp even more restless.
Before dark, search teams composed of lizardmen rushed to the vicinity of the camp as quickly as possible, began searching for traces of the two hunting teams, and gradually expanded the search range.
Under such circumstances, the area where the battle took place was inevitably discovered by the Lizardmen.
After the news was passed back, a lizardman leader with a scar on his left eye became furious in the camp.
"Find! Find all these damn guys. I want to twist off their heads!!"
Accompanied by roars, the lizardman leader paced anxiously in the camp. At this moment, he was filled with anger and had no place to vent it.
The surrounding lizardmen naturally did not dare to offend their leader, so more troops left the camp and began to search along the traces left by the enemy on the grassland.
But how could Li Ce make such a low-level mistake?
There are indeed too many traces at the scene, and it is basically impossible to completely erase them.
But after running far away, he deliberately left wrong traces to mislead the other party and covered up their correct whereabouts.
At this moment, the angry lizardmen were searching the grassland for their traces.
At the same time, in a hill somewhere on the grassland, Li Ce and Zhuo Ge and others, who had been hungry for a day, were enjoying their dinner.
Compared to dry food that is easy to carry and can be stored for a long time, they would definitely eat fresh meat first.
The fresh meat produced by four war horses, two bison, a giant lizard and ten velociraptors was enough for them to eat their fill.
After simply cooking and sprinkling some coarse salt for seasoning, this dinner could be considered luxurious in that era.
However, at this moment, it was clear that none of them was in the mood to enjoy this luxurious dinner.
The atmosphere at the scene was dull and solemn. Everyone just numbly stuffed the meat into their mouths, chewed it, and then swallowed it.
During this time, Li Ce was holding a picked-up lizardman spear in his hand and studying it silently.
The material of the spear head was different from any material he had ever seen. It was pitch black, but the surface was very smooth, similar to a crystal material.
"That seems to be a kind of weapon material unique to the Lizardmen. The polished spearhead is not only sharp, but also very sharp at the edge. However, the strength is not very high."
After listening to Drogo's explanation, Li Ce nodded. The weapon was not very strong, which he had seen during the battle during the day. During the collision of the weapons, this thing had many cracks.
Taking advantage of Drogo's words, Li Ce started talking to him about the current battle situation.
"Captain Drogo, I have an idea. Do you think we can harass the Lizardmen's camp at night?"
Li Ce's specific idea was to use his own mantra of 'controlling the skeleton soldiers' and, under the cover of darkness, let the skeleton soldiers attack the Lizardmen's camp at night, so as to make the other side restless and thus affect their situation the next day.
At this, Drogo shook his head.
"I don't think that's a good idea. Those lizardmen can see very clearly at night. It's unrealistic to move in the dark in front of them. It's better to go during the day. At least you can see clearly."
Zhuogo's words basically made Li Ce give up this idea.
If the Lizardmen's night vision was really that strong, then attacking the camp at night would indeed be a stupid idea.
At least they could see both sides clearly during the day, but at night, only the other side could see clearly. Wouldn't that mean they were going to die? Li Ce put the night attack plan on hold for the time being, and turned around to discuss with Zhuo Ge about how the two sides should take care of each other.
"Captain Drogo, I'm sure you know that these lizardmen are indeed difficult to deal with. If we fight alone, there is a high probability that some unnecessary casualties will occur. Therefore, I hope that in the next operation, both sides can take care of each other appropriately..."
When they were dividing up their responsibilities, the Centaurs led by Drogo were right between them and the grassland elves.
In other words, Drogo and his men are close to everywhere.
After experiencing today's battle and fully realizing that the Lizardmen are indeed difficult to deal with, it would be best if both sides could take care of each other and provide timely assistance.
Faced with Li Ce's proposal, Zhuogo naturally would not refuse. He agreed very readily and was even happy.
After all, it had only been a few days since they escaped back. All the Centaurs were injured at the moment, so they would definitely be happy if Li Ce suggested taking care of each other.
