But the problem is that the mutilation of these corpses was not caused by swords, but by hideous and terrifying lacerations.
Soldiers did not die from these injuries, but from the damage to their bodies after death.
In the history of human warfare, there have been cases of desecrating the corpses of the dead. The purpose of doing this is often to damage the morale of the enemy. For example, some barbaric nomads have all the ears of the dead cut off, and send them to hostile tribes in a string to tell them , This is the fate of being an enemy of me.
But these corpses were not destroyed for these frivolous reasons, and the destroyers did not have 'evil intentions' or other purposes to do those things.
The purpose of the orcs who destroyed the remains of the soldiers and ate them up was just to fill their stomachs, nothing more.
Has a huge amount of food, but its production capacity is weaker than that of humans and cannot meet the needs of food. The race that can only use plunder as a way of survival - the orcs, the country formed by their tribes, has continued in the adjacent human kingdom and dragon kingdom A long war.
Most of them are small battles for the purpose of plundering food, but there are also large-scale wars that make people doubt whether the Dragon Kingdom will perish because of this.
Every such war is a picture that ordinary people can't imagine. If you find a word from a human lexicon that can accurately describe this scene——
"Hell" is the only word that can describe it.
Calcius Laurent, the man who had experienced "hell" himself, had the same dream again, and then woke up the moment he was pierced by the orc's claws.
Sitting slumped on the desk, Calcius Laurent, the Duke of Purple Eagle, was drenched in cold sweat, and felt a tingling sensation in his left shoulder. He rubbed the wound through the skirt of his clothes.
It was an old wound from the Great War 20 years ago. Whenever it rains or when he wakes up from a nightmare, this healed wound will remind him with pain, reminding him never to forget that war.
"Falling asleep at the desk again, I'm really old." Calcius Laurent sighed softly. He opened the drawer of the desk and took out a box of dark green ointment from it.
This is a special painkiller mixed with herbs and magic potions.
Use a delicate spoon to take a little bit out of the box, then take out a square piece of oiled paper, and put that little bit of ointment on it.
Put the box back in the drawer, pick up the ointment, and eat the little ointment slowly.
This is a medicine that has refreshing and pain-relieving effects. To be honest, he has the desire to take a little more, but he restrains it because he knows that if the intake is too large, there will be a risk of addiction.
After taking the ointment, he felt that his physical condition was a little better. Duke Laurent took out a pipe, put the tobacco in it, and lit it.
Tobacco has long been addicted, but this is a trivial matter.
Calcius Laurent continued to review the official documents with the help of drugs and tobacco.
The current Duke of Purple Eagle, Calcius Laurent, is also the head of the Laurent family and the number two figure in the Dragon Kingdom's army.
Because the leader of the army is the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom, but this is only in name, Duke Laurent is the real power in the military world, commanding the royal family and his own troops directly under him, and has the power to call upon the troops of other nobles.
Although due to physical reasons, the frontline work was handed over to the eldest son and the second son, but he still performed the commanding duties in the rear.
Due to the special situation of the country, the political distribution of the Dragon Kingdom is also very special. The two major dukes in the country, one is the family of Laurent, the Duke of Purple Eagle, who directly leads the army, and the other is the one who has opened up the largest and most fertile territory, pays the most taxes, and is fully responsible The Duke of Maple Moon, Colthwaite's house, supplies grain and grass supplies.
In other words, the two aristocrats at the top of the power are both "war dukes" in essence, plus a "Huairou" queen, this is the national conditions of the Dragon Kingdom.
"At all costs." In the face of the powerful orc empire, this is the only choice for this country, and at the same time, this is also Duke Laurent's personal creed.
He's a man who survived hell.
20 years ago, the Orc Empire suffered from a rare large-scale famine. For food, they chose to start an all-out war with the Dragon Kingdom.
Several cities were quickly breached, and then the most important last line of defense of the Dragon Kingdom, the Calcius Fortress Group, became the center of the war and synonymous with hell.
Calcius Fortress is where the Laurent family is stationed, and Calcius Laurent is named after it.
At that time, in the face of the onslaught of the orcs, all human actions became pale and powerless, and they could only adopt the simplest tactic—to build a city wall with flesh and blood.
Let the orcs relax, let them think that if they want to, they can definitely break through this fortress.
To hit the orcs, let them feel the threat, and know that they will have to pay the price if they attack fiercely.
Then, use the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle so that they would not be so hungry and crazy that they would desperately attack the city.
Purely using their lives to delay time, this tactic requires the commander to be at the forefront so that the soldiers will not back down.
In just a few months, almost all the men in the Laurent family were killed or injured.
Father is dead, uncle is on top, uncle is dead, cousin is on top, cousin is dead, elder brother is on top, elder brother is on top, brother is on top!
Calcius Laurent is the last two remaining men of the Laurent family, and the other brother is not yet three years old.
The younger brother is in the royal city, as long as he is still alive, the Laurent family will not perish, and if the Calcius fortress is broken, everything will be over.
With such awareness, Calcius Laurent stepped onto the battlefield, and then, on the eve of his death, he finally waited for the support from the Holy Kingdom——the Dark Codex.
Although he was seriously injured, he still survived. Fortunately, the reproductive system was not injured, and he was able to continue the incense for the Laurent family smoothly.
However, that war still had an indelible impact on him, both physically and mentally.
I have seen such a picture scroll of hell, and then I was afraid of the orcs, and became a hideout, a fugitive—no, he would not be like this, he is a man like an old lion, the hell of iron and fire, just let his will Stronger and even paranoid.
That is a war with no room for relaxation, and such a war is bound to break out again, so——
"It must be done by any means."
Use whatever weapons you have, fists, knees, and teeth if you don't have them.
Lose all dignity, morality, and even humanity.
War with the orcs, these human virtues, are but useless encumbrances.
Unscrupulous, must be unscrupulous, only in this way can survive in that war.
In comparison, one's own reputation is nothing at all.
