Chapter 44: The Wolf Camp (5)
As the leader of the gnolls, Greypaw Kutus has an extremely tenacious vitality, even if his sternum has been shattered, he has not completely lost his combat effectiveness, he struggles to get up, supports his body with a large sword, and is half-kneeling on the ground, as long as he increases his strength, he can stand up.
Kaizhe was using a healing spell on the grizzly bear, and it took two consecutive spells to barely heal the wound, and the broken shoulder blade had not fully recovered, and the grizzly bear had already rushed over with a roar.
Cardina's abdomen was sliced open, and she struggled to her feet, pressing her abdomen with one hand to keep her entrails from slipping out, and gritted her teeth and walked towards the gnoll leader.
The dwarf, who had been unable to intervene in the battle, finally stopped looking up at the enemy in front of her, and with her sharp eagle axe, she jumped up and slashed the throat of Greyclaw Kutus.
A large amount of blood gushed out, and the tall, burly leader of the gnolls fell to the ground with a glare.
"Oops! I killed their boss? ”
The dwarf's mouth was wide open, and the expression on her face showed that she didn't believe it herself.
"Well, good job."
Mu Kai barely smiled, and his face was terrifyingly pale after his mental strength was exhausted.
"Grizzly bear!"
Mu Kai turned his head and made a decapitation gesture at him.
Grizzly Bear, with a cunning that did not match his appearance, understood what Mukai meant, so he held the spear in his left hand, and with a single spear he chopped off the head of Greyclaw Kutus, nailed it to the tip of the spear, and held it high.
"Wolf cubs! See what this is? ”
The grizzly bear's thick voice spread throughout the camp like a muffled thunderbolt.
His warhammer had been strengthened to level seven, and the entire weapon was unusually striking with a faint blue glow, and even more striking was the hideous gnoll head worn on the tip of the spear.
The jackals saw the head of their leader at a glance, and their morale fell instantly, and the mercenaries cheered and took advantage of the situation to slash and slash.
At this time, smoke suddenly rose from the direction of the camp gate, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.
The situation immediately became clear, and there was no hope of victory, and some of the jackals began to flee, and then there was a chain reaction, and the entire camp completely collapsed in the blink of an eye.
The Jackals scattered and fled, soon spreading to the camp in the southwest and the fighting near the gates.
When fighting a tailwind battle, the jackals are extremely fierce, and when they want to escape, they are also scrambling, which is the habit brought by the gnolls in their bones, so once they win, they will kill a chicken and dog, and once they lose, it will be a complete rout.
The chase continued until noon, and the mercenaries returned to the camp one after another, even though they were bandaged and limped along, but everyone had smiles on their faces.
A lot of money was dug out of the pockets of the jackals, and if the stronger mercenaries killed three or five enemies, they would have captured more loot than they had earned in the previous year.
All the cross marks were counted, and more than 800 jackal soldiers were killed, and the rest were scattered and fled into the deep mountains and dense forests, and the group of gnolls entrenched in the hinterland of Guruudin was basically wiped out.
The mercenary groups have their own losses, but they are nothing compared to the gains, as long as they have enough gold to back them up, they can recruit a large number of people at any time.
After a short rest in the camp and dealing with the aftermath, the mercenaries still divided into two roads, each going east and west.
The war mercenary group escorted the dwarven caravan at a slower pace, camped on the side of the road after dark, and arrived in the village of Gurudin by noon the next day.
This time the return of the caravan did not cause much repercussions, and the adventurers and mercenaries who walked in front had already brought the news of the extermination of the gnolls back to the village, and as the mercenary group that commanded the entire campaign, the prestige of the war was raised to a new height.
After the battle, Mu Kai did not squeeze the interests of the small mercenary group, and also showed great tolerance to those adventurers, this kind of generosity and tolerance is extremely rare in the adventurer's world, so they also had great kindness when they spread the word about this battle, and when they mentioned the name Kelmore, they were basically more pertinent evaluations.
Clouen took the caravan to Merck to hand over the task, and Ally was responsible for arranging the food and lodging of the mercenaries, and now that there are more people, the issue of food and accommodation cannot be as casual as before.
Mukai went straight to Parina's office, and although it wasn't class time, it was a minimum of respect to go and meet the teacher first when he returned.
"It's good to come back safely, you, it's still a bit risky, you should pay attention in the future."
Seeing Mukai, the sorceress was also very happy.
Even though she spends most of her time studying magic, as the head of the union, she knows a lot about Gurudin's big and small things, and she is still very satisfied with this student.
"I'll definitely pay attention to it later."
Mu Kai replied as he took out a small box made of walnut and handed it to Parina with both hands.
"I met a dwarven craftsman in the town of Gurudin, and I happened to make a pair of earrings, and the quality was not bad, so I specially bought them and gave them to you, the teacher."
Parina smiled and took the box, opened it, and immediately showed a look of surprise.
"Immortal bird earrings? Kai, you're not meeting any ordinary dwarven craftsman, it's a great master. ”
This is an accessory that can be used for her current level, which can only be made by a very few dwarven masters, and the success rate is not high, it is a very rare equipment, and the price will naturally not be cheap.
"Spent a lot of money, didn't you?"
"It's just a little bit of the student's heart, and I hope you don't shirk." Mu Kai said sincerely.
Parina hesitated, closed the wooden box, and placed it in a drawer.
"This time, the teacher accepted it, remember, you can't break the bank in the future."
"Got it, teacher."
"Well, you've worked hard these days, go back and rest first, and we'll start classes tomorrow." Parina said softly.
The mage has no lover or children, spends all her energy and time trekking on the path of magic, and at the same time, she is also a careful and considerate person.
"Hey! This way! ”
Coming out of the temple, he finds Yana and Sareen sitting on the steps outside, and Sareen is waving to him.
"How are you sitting here?" Mu Kai walked over and asked.
"I'm waiting for you!" The female dwarf looked like she was right.
"Huh? Wait for me? ”
Yana stood up, looked at Mu Kai and said, "Hey, have you noticed anything, is there any difference in the village from before?" ”
"Well, I didn't see any difference, well, I saw some elves on the street just now."
"Didn't you talk about elves, didn't you find out?"
The female dwarf was a little anxious, and took Mu Kai's hand and shook it.
"Wolves! It's a wolf! I've seen a lot of adventurers with pet wolves! ”
