Chapter 29: Ideals and Reality

The kobold shaman could only watch as the warriors standing in front of him dwindled and the devilish butcher drew closer.

"Don't come!

"Got you!" Richard grinned, grabbing his clothes and picking up the dwarf shaman.

Without the support of the caster, the bloodthirsty thaumaturgy vanished, and the robbers' sane brains began to take over the high ground again.

The harsh and barren environment had made the natives accustomed to the threat of death, and they thought they would not be afraid anymore. But it turns out that quantitative change can cause qualitative change.

The slaughterhouse-like mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of him is like a basin of ice water poured on his head, and even the most disregarded natives feel an irrepressible chill.

This kind of coldness has nothing to do with courage, it is purely an instinct hidden in the depths of the consciousness of all intelligent beings.

The centaurs and barbarians had knives in their eyes, making them feel as if they were walking naked in the snow and ice.

And the knight covered in blood...... None of the warriors of the usual high-flying and domineering tribes dared to look at him directly, as if they would be burned in the eyes just by looking at him.

The robbers were tempted to run, their courage had long since dissipated with the lives of their dead companions, but all of them stood still. After the bloodthirsty thaumaturgical blessing, there were significant side effects, and now everyone was in a state of extreme exhaustion and detachment, and they couldn't run even if they wanted to.

They cursed the damned shaman in the most vicious language in their hearts.

"Alpine Fort doesn't seem to have to worry about running out of slaves. Richard looked as if he had just returned from a swim in the river of blood, leaving a damp bright red footprint behind him with every step.

He bent down to pick up the skin that the kobold shaman had torn earlier, and looked at it carefully. The black leather is very uniform and delicate, and there are many strange symbols painted on it with a gray-white paint, which at first glance looks a little mysterious.

If you close your eyes and use your mind, it seems that there are not weak elemental fluctuations.

"What is this?" he shook his skin.

The old kobold pursed his lips and refused to speak, trying to maintain his dignity as an elemental user, but the trembling amplitude of his calves betrayed him.

"Hurt, give this thing a hand. Richard didn't bother to talk nonsense with a captive, and handed him over directly to the most honest-looking centaur.

"Yes, sir. Hurt put a grim smile on his face and walked away with the kobold.

Centaurs are all herders, and herders tend to be very good at using whips.

"Boss. Gunther took off his horn helmet, revealing a face with a blue nose and swollen face. Even through the thick helmets, the bandits' attacks were not really a threat at all.

His voice was unusually low, "There are a few brothers who are dying. ”

"Take me to see it. Richard glanced at the system panel, revealing that the three brutes were in a state of serious injury and dying.

Taking the initiative to launch a surprise attack on the enemy with an absolutely inferior force sounds like a pride, but in fact it is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife. Almost every barbarian had some kind of wound on his body, but because their strength and equipment were crushing the average bandit, most of them were not seriously injured.

There were only three exceptions - they were the best armed, the hardest, the hardest, the hardest, and therefore the fastest.

Without exception, the chest and abdomen were cut out of the terrible tearing wounds, and the most serious ones could even be seen in the abdominal cavity, and blood gushed out one by one. Richard guessed that it was the work of the goblin heavy sword commandos, and the other bandits did not have the awareness of such a lethal blow at all.

Richard opened the system panel, and the experience of this battle was more lucrative than the sum of the previous battles, and most of the soldiers could already advance.

He had long discovered that the system soldiers could get a certain amount of recovery every time they advanced, and the effect was similar to a weak healing technique. At this time, he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he raised his hand and chose all the advanced.

The effect was immediate, the lightly wounded warrior healed almost immediately, and the condition of the three seriously wounded barbarians improved. The bleeding stopped for the time being, and the ruptured wound shrank slightly.

But Richard's face quickly turned gloomy - the healing effect was not enough for the injury, and the system showed that their lives were still slowly withering away with time.

It would be wishful thinking to find a priest in the wilderness who could use divine magic, but in fact, at the moment, as long as there is a reliable doctor, it is enough to save the lives of a few barbarians

There were a few faint screams in the distance, followed by the sound of a stormy leather whip entering the flesh, and the big-shouldered and round-waisted Hurt was wielding the whip to the left and right with his bow.

The best medicine in the entire Alpine Fort may be the kobold shaman who is being smoked and screaming, but where can you expect it?

"I'm going to call him to try it. Gunther carried the old kobold like a chicken.

The fierce icefield warrior grinned, and in a rare way at Richard and others outside of his kind, trying to show kindness to the barefoot doctor who had been improvised but actually scaring the crying child.

"You're dreaming!"

The old kobold must not know what it means to be a man who knows the times, or rather, he really has a bit of a hardness that the ordinary wilderness natives don't have.

Richard crouched down and slowly stretched out his palm. When the kobold shaman subconsciously retreated thinking that he was going to be beaten, Richard just wiped the blood from his face.

"Heal them, and I will keep you safe in the name of your lord. ”

"Lie on the ground and go to school with two dog barks, and I will promise you. The kobold looked like he was smiling with his head held high and his mouth full of fangs.

The atmosphere became almost frozen for a moment, but the kobold shaman felt very proud in his heart, this is the importance that an elemental user should receive.

He has become an old fritter, and he doesn't really want to be stubborn to the end, but he just plans to raise his price with a shelf. I firmly believe that with my own skills, I should be a guest of honor wherever I go, and today will be no exception.

But there is often a gap between ideals and reality, and this is the time to ......

"Richard. Anne, a half-elf girl, held a crystal bottle and trotted over the hills like a gust of wind, "Holy water." ”

"Thanks, I'm really dizzy, I should have asked you. Richard slapped himself on the forehead, reached out and took the crystal bottle and handed it to a centaur, "Dilute it with a bucket of water, this concentration of holy water will sting people directly." ”

He wouldn't be embarrassed, since the caravan was protected by the mountain fort, he should pay some protection money.

The kobold shaman suddenly felt that something was wrong......

"As for this deflated three. Richard smiled and showed two rows of snow-white teeth, and snapped his fingers crisply, "Hurt, give Lao Tzu a hard slap and find out where these robbers' nests are!"

"I'll go too!" Gunther clenched his fist, and the joints rattled.

"And me. ”

"And me. ”

“......”

A large group of Alpine Fort warriors hula around them ran away halfway.
