Torture abyss.
In the cold sea cave hall, the atmosphere was slightly stagnant.
Liu Qian stood in front of the huge stone wall map, and his fingertips unconsciously crossed the reef group of the "tidal reef plate".
His face said calmly: "What are our casualties in the battle of the tidal reef? "
Luo Luo swallowed his saliva, and his Adam's apple rolled: "My lord, although we won in the end, the price was a bit high, the pirate soldiers of the Torture Abyss were killed four hundred and ninety-seven, more than one hundred and thirty were seriously injured, and almost everyone was lightly injured..."
He glanced at Liu Qian with a serious face, and then carefully explained: "My lord, Kago is good at collision tactics, and many of the soldiers who died were shot dead by Kago's men with crossbow arrows because the ship sank into the water..."
Liu Qian nodded, although the pirate casualties were tragic, but that was not fundamental.
He looked at Jelena on the side, and Jelena understood, and said in a deep voice: "Seventy-three dragon spirit guards were killed." "
"Seventy-three..."
In the corner, Jorah Mormont silently recited this number in her heart.
He had experienced countless battlefields and seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but the fall of those silent warriors was particularly dazzling.
It can be said that those dragon spirit guards wearing Valyrian armor and holding Valyrian steel swords are the sharpest fangs and the strongest shield of Torture Abyss.
The loss of seventy-three dragon spirit guards was worth far more than the nearly five hundred pirates.
He looked at Liu Qian suddenly, wondering how Liu Qian would respond in the face of such a loss of core strength?
Hearing this number, Liu Qian's fingertips tapping on the chart suddenly stopped.
That night, Kago dispatched more than thirty rowing boats, five or six of the double-deck ships of the battleship class alone.
In terms of numbers, the gap between the two sides is even greater, Liu Qian's side plus Rollo's people, there are only 2,000 people, of which there are only 500 dragon spirit guards, while the pirates on Kago's side are more than 3,000.
Even though he saw through Kago's ambush and made some gains in the sneak attack from behind, he still suffered huge losses in the face of a huge gap in the number of ships and soldiers.
Jora had only trained this group of pirates for about a month, and she couldn't form a strong combat effectiveness at all.
If it weren't for the tenacious dragon spirit guards, I am afraid there would be more casualties.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the emotions in his eyes were frozen, leaving only calmness.
"Where's the boat?"
"Kago threw away his helmet and armor, leaving behind seven paddle boats that could still be repaired, and were dragged back by us."
Rollo quickly replied, trying to dilute the loss with the harvest: "But our own loss... The keels of the four medium-sized paddle ships were completely broken and could only be dismantled and burned with firewood, the trauma of the 'Abyssal Noose' penetrated deep into the internal structure of the hull and required major surgery, and one side of the 'Crab's Nest' and 'Reef Crusher' collapsed and the deck was in disarray, which also took time to repair. "
Liu Qian nodded, then he turned around, his eyes swept over Rollo and Jola, and finally landed on Jelena and Janice in the corner.
"Jerina, Janis, let's go see those dead dragon spirit guards and lead the way."
Jorah was full of doubts, and he followed silently, wanting to see what Liu Qian was going to do.
And Rollo knew last time that the Jelena sisters had the ability to resurrect the dead, and at this time they followed with a hint of inexplicable fear.
Deep in the sea cave, there is a huge empty stone chamber.
The remains of the seventy-three dragon spirit guards were neatly arranged on the icy ground, covered with coarse linen.
The strong smell of blood and the cold breath of death filled the air.
The cloth could not hide those shocking wounds, and death deprived them of all their vitality, silently telling the tragedy of the battle.
Liu Qian walked to the front of the array, and Jelena and Janice were on his left and right.
"Let's start." Liu Qian's voice was low, echoing in the empty stone chamber.
Jelena and Janice raised their hands at the same time.
Their slender fingers suddenly lit up with a halo.
The temperature in the stone chamber skyrocketed, and the torches on the walls swayed wildly, casting huge distorted shadows that danced wildly on the bodies covered in white cloth.
An indescribable aura filled the air, as if opening a gap to the kingdom of death.
Jorah Mormont held her breath suddenly, her pupils contracted sharply, and she stared at the nearest body.
Rollo took a step back in horror, his teeth rattling uncontrollably, and although he already knew that the two mysterious ladies in front of him could resurrect the dead, it was the first time he had seen the process of resurrection.
I saw that under the linen covering the body, the originally stiff and cold silhouette first twitched extremely slightly, like a sleeping giant beast being awakened.
Immediately afterwards, there are the second and third...
In those wounds where the bones were deeply visible, muscle fibers, broken bones, and even fragments of broken viscera began to crazily wriggle and aggregate under the shroud of halo, as if pulled by invisible silk threads.
The broken bones made a tooth-piercing "click" sound and connected on their own, and the torn flesh was forcibly healed like molten wax oil.
The whole process was silent, but full of soul-shuddering countercurrents.
After a few minutes, the halo dissipated like a low tide.
Seventy-three dragon spirit guards stood up neatly and uniformly.
Their movements carried an inhuman sense of rigidity, and their eyes were colder than ever.
The scars on his body did not disappear, but were imprinted on his body like a medal, adding to his hideousness.
They turned silently to Liu Qian and Sister Jelena, as if they had never fallen.
"Return to the team." Sister Jelena ordered calmly.
The resurrected guards silently left the stone chamber with heavy and precise steps.
All that remains of the stone chamber is Jora's heavy gasps and the sound of Rollo's teeth chattering.
Jorah felt a chill rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and the palms of her hands holding the hilt of the sword were full of cold sweat.
The large-scale, naked "resurrection" in front of him was like a heavy hammer that struck his soul firmly.
He looked at Liu Qian's terrifyingly calm back, and for the first time he had a fear from the deepest part of his soul for this young man.
Jora couldn't help but ask in her heart, is this power a gift from the gods?
Luo Luo on the side was even more pale, and his legs were weak.
He finally understood why the guards were silent, why they didn't know the pain, why they were not afraid of death...
They are simply walking dead.
In addition to being shocked, Luo Luo's loyalty to Liu Qian also instantly climbed to the peak of fanaticism.
Liu Qian ignored the shock of the two, and he asked, "After Kago returned injured, what happened to the split palate island?" "
Rollo was excited, took out a sheepskin chart, and said in a voice with incomparable respect and a hint of trembling: "Big... My lord, our patrol boat that was investigating the situation near the Split Palate Island sent back the news, and after Kago escaped back, his left arm was completely rotten, and people were frightened, suspicious every day.
There were less than thirty ships under his command, all of which were huddled in the main port of Split Palate Island as shrunken turtles, and at the same time, the hidden dock on the west side of Split Palate Island received his order and was going crazy to repair the ship, seemingly wanting to restore some strength as soon as possible. "
Jorah took a deep breath and suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart due to the resurrection of the dead, and the tenacity and tactical literacy of the Bear Island Knights overwhelmed the fear.
"My lord," he said in a deep voice, his voice more hoarse and rough than usual, "Kago is holding on to the main port, and if we attack, it will be difficult for us to take advantage of him when he has a terrain advantage. "
His finger poked at the location of the main port of Split Palate Island on the chart, and quickly slid to an inconspicuous marker next to it, the dock.
"But he is eager to repair the ship, which is his biggest weakness now, the dock is some distance from the main port, and the defense is relatively weak, we can give him a sound."
"Sound from east to west?" Liu Qian's eyes instantly locked on the mark.
"Let Rollo lead a fast fleet," Chora pointed in the direction of the main port, making a feint.
"With great fanfare, create the illusion that we are pouring out and storming the main port, and make the momentum as big as possible, so that Kago must think that all our forces are pressed on the main port and attract all the reserve forces that can be mobilized."
His finger immediately clicked on the dock: "And the lord personally led the real main fleet, rushed here, while his ship was still in the dock, destroy his last hope in one fell swoop, his ship and those craftsmen can grab it, and burn the fire that can't be grabbed, if the dock is destroyed, Kago is the fish on the chopping board, and can only be killed." "
Liu Qian stared at the Achilles heel representing the dock on the chart and agreed with Jora's point of view: "Good idea, just follow this." "
Then, he said to Rollo: "Rollo, you have to act like a little bit, don't let Kago see the flaws." "
Rollo was driven by fear and fanaticism at the moment, eager to prove his worth, patting his chest, his eyes flashing with cunning and ruthlessness: "Don't worry, my lord, I have no other skills, bluffing is the best, I promise to let Kago scare his crotch and wet his crotch, so that his eyes are nailed to the main port." "
