Chapter 446: Post-War
The evacuation of the Shield Ankylosaur brought this battle to a swift end.
The crossbow troops had used up all their giant crossbow arrows and were temporarily unable to continue chasing the Ankylosaurus.
The cavalry units on both sides were entangled during the retreat, until the lizardman infantry on the opposite side began to lean against the rainforest and threw short spears at them to attack. The cavalry units of the Great Zhou were forced to stop the pursuit and began to keep a safe distance from the rainforest area.
During this period, outside the front-line camp that had turned into ruins, Li Ce was directing the logistics troops to clean up the mess.
He squatted down, picked up a completely deformed sword, and then looked at the iron spear with a broken barrel next to him. He felt very melancholy.
Just then, a logistics staff member drove over in a horse-drawn carriage.
"Lieutenant."
"how's it going?"
"That should be all."
As he spoke, the logistics staff member pointed at the weapons on the vehicle. They had picked up as many intact weapons and equipment as possible from the ruins of the camp. At a glance, the vehicle was full.
But Li Ce knew that this was not even one-fifth of the original.
"What about the food? How is the food stock in the camp?"
The remaining food in the camp is at least enough for everyone in the camp to eat for ten days. Although the armored dragon has a big appetite, it is impossible for it to eat it all at once.
But this does not mean that the other party will leave it to them intact.
"A lot of the stored food has been trampled, but some of it should be edible after washing."
When talking about this matter, the logistics staff also became furious.
Li Ce didn't even have the energy to be angry and just waved his hand.
"Go and count the food and weapons and equipment in the supplies delivered by the logistics troops this time, and report to me after you've done the statistics."
"yes!"
The action here is still very fast, mainly because the logistics troops here know the quantity of supplies they are sending, which makes their work more efficient.
Listening to the reports from his logistics staff, what Li Ce was most thankful for at this moment was that the logistics supplies happened to be delivered today.
Not to mention the weapons and equipment, given that the frequency of fighting between the two sides is not high, the losses are relatively small and generally not a big problem.
The key point is the food reserves on the front line!
The original ten-day food reserves in the camp were their "tolerance". Even if the energy channel appeared a few days later, or if any unexpected situation occurred, they could still get through it relatively smoothly with this extra food.
But now, this food reserve is gone.
Although considering the supplies that had just been delivered, plus some of the food that the logistics troops had rescued earlier, it should be enough for them to survive for more than half a month, but it is obvious that they can't be as relaxed as before.
During this process, Li Ce had thought about whether he could hide the stored food and reserve weapons in other places outside the camp.
In this way, even if the Ankylosaur attacks their camp, the safety of supplies can be ensured.
But he quickly threw the idea into the trash.
Don't forget, there's an annoying pterosaur rider in the sky.
This pterosaur rider does need rest, but the enemy's reconnaissance frequency is still very high, and it happens day and night.
If you want to hide supplies on the plains, you can mostly only hide them underground. At the same time, the volume of the supplies means that it is not possible to just dig a small hole.
Under this premise, it is basically impossible for you to avoid the detection of pterosaur riders.
Not to mention the problem of getting supplies later.
When he thought of this, Li Ce couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Just like when Soros was taking action before, he felt helpless in the face of his flawless response.
He was equally helpless facing the pterosaur rider flying in the sky.
At the same time, after finishing the operation here, Soros quickly ordered people to check the injuries of the Ankylosaurus.
How could the word "miserable" describe the appearance of the Shield Ankylosaurus at this moment? Its entire sturdy body was almost shot into a hedgehog by the opponent's weapons. Looking at the giant crossbow arrows that penetrated the body of the Shield Ankylosaurus, the lizardmen felt incredible and at a loss as to where to start.
Because they have never encountered such a situation before.
Although the armored dragon has a good recovery ability, it is definitely not okay to keep the giant crossbow arrow stuck there, causing the wound to not heal. It must be pulled out.
This really took them a lot of effort. In the process of pulling out the giant crossbow arrows, the Ankylosaurus roared frequently due to the pain, and its body instinctively made resistance movements, causing them a wave of unexpected casualties.
All the giant crossbow arrows that had been pulled out were now piled in front of Soros.
Most of those bloody metal arrowheads had been deformed. When they broke through the armored dragon's shell, they were twisted under the pressure of the force because they were not strong enough.
Soros tried to touch the edges of the arrowhead with his fingertips. The sharpness he felt made his scalp tingle. He began to understand why this thing could penetrate the shell of an armored dragon.
Just then, a lizardman soldier ran over.
"Lord Thoros, the wounds on the armored dragon have been treated. So far, they are only flesh wounds."
This result greatly relieved Soros.
The weight of the Scutosaurus is very amazing. In order to support its heavy body, the bones and muscles of the Scutosaurus are very strong.
Although the amazing power of the opponent's new weapon exceeded their expectations, it was obviously not easy to pose a fatal threat to the Ankylosaurus.
After organizing his thoughts and confirming the situation of the Ankylosaurus with his own eyes, Soros stood up and rushed to the temple as quickly as possible to report the situation here to the high priest in person.
Inside the temple, the high priest listened to the report with a frown on his face the whole time, and he almost had a fit when he heard the news that the armored dragon was injured.
Fortunately, Soros, sensing that the atmosphere was not good, quickly showed his achievements, flattened the opponent's front-line camp, and destroyed a large amount of the opponent's weapons and food stores, making the opponent's previous efforts go to waste.
As soon as this result was reported, the high priest's brows relaxed a little.
This is rare good news during this troubled time.
"Well, well done, Soros. You continue to contain the other side. Once the battle with the ratmen in the south comes to a temporary end, I will immediately dispatch troops back to destroy them!"
As he spoke later, the high priest couldn't help but reveal a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
A series of troubles recently had made him more and more irritable. The New World forces that he had originally ignored had unexpectedly become a serious threat that could directly affect the life and death of the Lizardmen.
This not only made the high priest feel even more upset, but it also made him completely determined to eliminate the trouble forever!
