Chapter Seventy-Six: Before the Banquet
The latitude of the entire Ruzel continent is high, and the temperature is not high all year round, so even in the middle of summer, when the temperature is the highest, it is actually not very hot, and now in the late summer, people on the continent will not feel any discomfort wearing long shirts and trousers.
At dinner time, outside a hidden cave on the shores of Lake Laika, the cool lake breeze swept away the last shred of the late summer heat in the mountains, and a bonfire burned brightly, illuminating the six people sitting together.
If the combination of four large and two small mercenaries appears on other medium and long-range, relatively safe routes, it is still relatively common, and it is a typical "veteran with small soldiers" mercenary inheritance team.
However, such groups are less likely to travel the ultra-short route from the north gate of Billy City to the eastern shore of Lake Laika via the mountain roads and the eastern shore of Lake Laika.
The six members of the team ate fragrantly cooked barbecued meat and flour paste with meat foam, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet, as if everyone was thinking about their own troubles.
But as long as you look at the three people sitting with their backs to the entrance of the cave, you will feel that in fact, such an atmosphere is not very strange now......
The naked upper body of the three adults and the lower ♂ body wearing shorts were all wrapped with countless "bandages", but looking at the "bandages" were clean, it could be seen that the wounds on the three of them were now oozing out of blood, and those wounds had probably begun to heal under the effect of special powder, and the time for healing and recovery was just around the corner!
But probably because there were still some wounds that hurt the internal organs of the inner house, and just after the fever, they were tied to the horse and ran away for a while to let the wound open again, and they were manipulated ♂ like this for a while, plus they learned that they had temporarily escaped the crisis of being ambushed and hunted, and the tense nerves relaxed, and the spirit became terrible malaise.
And the small figure next to him was also covered in wounds, although he was not tied into a mummy, but the figure who was also wearing a pair of shorts looked even more "terrifying", and his whole body, including under the shorts, his neck and face, were all covered with this thick layer of black ointment, which was black even in the light of the fire...... It is difficult to imagine how even and horrible his injuries were, and it is difficult to imagine how his injuries were inflicted.
But looking at his eyes that sparkled in the flamelight, and those resolute eyes full of fighting spirit, it could be seen that even though his physical state was very tired now, his spirit was still unusually full.
......
Not surprisingly, this group of people was the six of Wolff Dashi and His Highness Wells.
The "bandages" on the three Keith swordsmen were made of cotton and linen cloth piece by piece, which was made by stripping the clothes off the "boy army" they had killed before burying them, and then tearing them into one by one when they arrived at the edge of Lake Laika.
There is no way, for the productivity of the Ruizel Continent, not to mention bandages, the production of cotton and linen cloth is not very high, and it is okay to make shirts and pants, and ordinary families can afford it.
But if you get some cloth to make bandages, it is quite a luxury, even in the church, the royal family, mercenaries or the official army, the clothes used to bandage wounds to speed up wound healing and reduce the chance of wound infection are purchased from the people who are not used, or even directly stripped of the clothes on the corpses of the enemy like Wolf Dashi, and then disinfected with boiling water.
Iguli's situation is completely different, first of all, his body is not an external injury caused by a fight, it can be regarded as an alternative "internal injury", and then the injury on his body is very uniform and all-round, and almost all the muscles in his body are seriously strained and broken!
Looking at the ointment that was applied all over the body, even on the face, His Royal Highness Wells and Keith Swordsman thought that it was a potion that paralyzed, relieved pain, and accelerated recovery, like safflower oil that had appeared in the history of the earth.
But Wolf Dawet and Iguli both know that this black ointment is some "cooling medicine", not to mention that there is no pain-relieving effect, no paralyzing effect, and no recovery effect, and the medicine will amplify the pain on Iguli's body, so that the soreness on his body is accompanied by a cool feeling sensitively and magnified countless times!
Only these two masters and apprentices know that although they both need to perceive the energy in the body and use it in combination with the linkage of spirit and muscles, their own practice is not the same as that of others, and the guidance of qi needs and relies more on the linkage of body muscles, and the heart moves with force to perform sword skills, while they focus more on the unity of mind and body, and the spiritual experience of the body's body-body linkage magic power naturally moves at will, so that the affected area where the magic power reaches heals and recovers is doubled and accelerated!
So don't look at Iguli now as if he is nothing, eating and drinking with everyone, but in fact, he is in severe pain, patiently, experiencing, and comprehending, how to channel the illusory magic in the body, so as to produce substantial and significant effects.
......
Worf knew everything, and was pleased with the perseverance and diligence of the first disciple, Iguli, and silently pondered the news he had learned from His Highness Wells in the cave in the morning.
Tessali, who he had always thought was stable and peaceful, had always been a turbulent force, manipulating public opinion, inciting public opinion, and secretly creating panic, and he didn't even know anything about it.
If it weren't for the full protection and deterrence of the Kingdom of Tessali, Tessali would have been destroyed long ago!
And now facing the so-called "boy army", I understand the ruthlessness of this Bommer's conspiracy, public opinion can make the hearts of the people in the country scattered, and the military and the people distrust each other, while the "boy army" is everywhere to create panic, obstruct Tessali's communication and rescue, and make the people disappointed in the royal family, and what is even more difficult is that the "boy army" will grow, as long as the "boy army" is not wiped out by all its members, its existence will only become more serious with time!
The situation that Wolf Dashi could have imagined in a short period of time was of course imagined by His Highness Wells and the top brass of Tessali, who had known about it for a long time, but after so many years of encirclement and suppression of the "Boy Army", he understood that it was useless for the "Boy Army" who was good at concealment and would "develop the lower line" to become a new army.
His Royal Highness Wells was silent that the "Young Army", who never showed up on their own initiative, would be ordered to dispatch, which made him inadvertently think that the situation of Tessali today is likely to be more than what he thought earlier, but just the defection of Prime Minister Davide, who wants to fall to Tessali's sworn enemy Bomber and catch himself as a bargaining chip......
Instead, Bomber united with the prime minister of Tessali and used all his strength to strike a blow to completely destroy Tessali!
