Chapter 728
611 The founding battle, a bitter victory
During the battle between Su Mo and the God of Forest.
It was also the period when the human race army led by Riku fought against the beastman army.
With the help of the Ex-Machinas, the first city of mankind, Elkia, was officially built.
The first capital of mankind, with towering walls and magnificent urban construction, was more majestic than the capital of the elves.
At the gate of Elkia.
All human races gathered on both sides of the avenue, looking forward to the outside world.
They were waiting for the arrival of their own army.
For Su Mo, the founding battle of human race may be just a test.
But for the people of human race, it is no different from a torment.
"Can the army really win? The enemy is the beastman!"
"Shouldn't we have built the city in the first place? Otherwise, we wouldn't be facing this danger..."
"Although Lord Su Mo has blessed us, can the human race of "700" really beat other races?"
Under the leadership of Su Mo, the human race has made great progress in strength.
However, the common sense passed down for millions of years is still deeply rooted.
Before Su Mo, the human race relied on this common sense to survive.
But after the human race became stronger, this common sense also became the source of their thoughts and inferiority.
Before.
Under Su Mo's command, many human races actually fought small-scale encounters with beastmen and demons.
And they won more and lost less.
Such facts actually aroused a lot of self-confidence in the human race.
Many people began to think that the human race would never lose to other races.
However.
After the founding war, which invested all the troops, began.
The emotion of fear once again grew in people's hearts.
The more beautiful the city is, the more magnificent the house is.
The more uneasy they are.
Are they really qualified to be on an equal footing with other races?
Can they really own such a beautiful city?
Such thoughts will inevitably suddenly come to mind.
However, even if everyone has such thoughts in their hearts.
But no one said such discouraging words.
They are all outstanding survivors of the doomsday.
They are all people who have experienced unexpected difficulties.
These doomsday survivors understand one thing very well.
That is, no matter how afraid they are, they must show a strong attitude.
The enemy will not let you go because you beg for mercy.
But they will choose to give up because you look difficult to mess with.
Before Su Mo arrived, living towards death was the code of survival for humans in this world.
And at this moment, the strongest army among them is fighting the enemy.
How can they say discouraging words at this time and chill their hearts?
In this situation.
The remaining humans looked into the distance without saying a word, but their eyes were full of passion.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo nodded with a smile.
"This is the trial!"
Just like gold ore with impurities being thrown into a raging fire.
At this moment, the more distractions people have in their minds.
When the news of victory comes.
The greater the impact on them.
As we all know, after the impurities are calcined, pure gold is obtained.
The same is true for the people in front of them.
After the distractions in the heart are forced out and then hit by the iron hammer of victory, the mental state of the entire human race will also rise to a level, reaching the toughness of steel.
At this point, Riku and Su Mo's views are very accurate.
And now, everyone's psychological threshold has reached the peak.
"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing..."
Su Mo said softly, raised his head after a few seconds, and looked at the city gate.
The people who had been keeping quiet and looking forward to it suddenly made a noisy sound.
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
The sound of horse hooves came from far to near, and the messenger who had reported the news in advance waved the flag and told his compatriots the good news.
Accompanied by his desperate roars.
Like a hammer forging materials.
The expressions on everyone's faces changed one after another.
There was surprise, dullness, enthusiasm, and pride.
Just as Riku expected.
For the first time in human history, the beastmen were defeated on the front battlefield. This news brought a huge shock to the human race.
After the surprise, people forgot everything for a while and came forward to find the messenger to find more detailed information.
The knight who reported the news ignored them.
Instead, he rushed to Su Mo with a heavy face.
This information was to be passed to the leader Su Mo as soon as possible.
And seeing his heavy expression on his face.
The people who had been cheering at the beginning seemed to understand something.
Everyone stopped laughing and gathered around 0 .....
On the largest square in the city, everyone gathered around.
In the middle of the crowd, the messenger knelt on one knee and handed the victory report to Su Mo.
Su Mo took the victory report, but did not read it. Instead, he looked at the messenger with a sad face.
"According to Riku's previous calculations, the battle situation should not be too tragic, right?"
"Yes!"
The messenger replied in a heavy tone.
"According to the pre-arrangement, under the leadership of Riku-sama, we had the advantage of terrain and were indeed victorious."
"However, even Riku-sama did not expect that there were blood-damaged individuals hidden in the beastman army this time!"
Hearing this news, the people gathered around took a breath of cold air.
The blood-damaged individuals among the beastmen can be said to be the highest-level beastmen.
The physical fitness is close to the physical limit, and the combat power is even comparable to that of the divine beasts.
This level of beastmen is enough to defeat the enemy alone, and even adventurers at level 6 are not their opponents.
If they encounter such individuals, it is possible that the whole army will be destroyed.
But if this is true...why did he say it was a victory before?
Could it be that even against the blood-damaged individuals? They also won?
Thinking of this possibility, everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Because this is too contrary to common sense.
However——
"After confirming this information, Lord Riku immediately made a decision and asked us to continue to hunt down the Werebeast army. Lord Riku himself, together with Generals Allei and Iwan, led the LV5 special team 3.0 to attract the blood-damaged individuals to the Jedi."
The messenger said with a tearful voice.
"I don't know what happened afterwards. After sweeping the Werebeast army, we tried to reinforce Lord Riku. After investigation, we found that Lord Riku, Lord Allei, and Lord Iwan led their troops to lure the enemy's blood-damaged individuals into the abyss, and then designed to trigger a landslide, and both sides had perished together!"
The blood-damaged individuals on the Werebeast side were killed, and thousands of troops were also wiped out.
On the human side, only a few hundred warriors were lost.
This battle was naturally a victory.
Simply comparing the number of casualties, it can even be said to be a great victory.
The premise is that all three generals are still alive.
If all three generals died, although the human race had an advantage in numbers, the losses were not so easy to measure.
612 The Heroic Spirit that Receives Noble Souls
After listening to the news from the messenger.
The excitement on everyone's face stagnated, and everyone was silent.
If we only look at the results of the battle, this is indeed a great victory.
However, the deaths of Riku, Arei, and Iwan are also a heavy price.
In the entire human settlement.
The one that people respect the most is naturally Su Mo, the leader and god.
However, Su Mo's position is too respected, so even if he doesn't have any airs, people will involuntarily keep a sufficient distance.
So, in comparison.
Kroni, the priestess, and Riku, the executive officer, are the leaders who are closer to people.
Especially Riku, because he has a good brain, Su Mo never lets him rest.
At the beginning, he was trained as a perfect tool.
That is why he has the heaviest responsibility and is more respected than Chroni.
Riku's death is bad news for all humankind.
Not to mention, the two generals 05 Allei and Iwan, who have recently gained fame, also died in this war.
People suddenly don't know what to say.
Should we celebrate the victory or remember our companions?
