Chapter 31: The Boar Man
"Aunt Em was running out of the house to wash the cabbage, and when she looked up, she saw Dorothy running towards her." My dear child! Aunt Em cried out, wrapping her arms around the little girl, leaning over her little face and kissing, "Where did you come from?" "Dorothy said solemnly: I have come back from the place of Ochi, and so has Toto, ah, Aunt Em, how happy I am to come home!" Phew, finally finished, the convoy didn't encounter any danger in the past two days, I didn't do anything, just sat in the carriage and told the story. "Alright, that's the story."
"Huh~? Are you done? And what about after that? Will Dorothy return to Ozie in the future? And what happened to the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion? Ellie asked. Xiao Hei also raised her head and looked at me steadily, and after listening to the story for two days, she no longer had to put the back of her head at me, and John's ears were pricked up as he sat next to me.
"Dorothy has lived happily with her family since then, and the scarecrow has fulfilled their wishes, and they are also very happy in Ozhi." The younger siblings in the orphanage used to ask me strange questions after hearing the story, and I didn't have to think about them to know what to say.
At this time, the party arrived at the camp that was scheduled for today, and Pat came up to me and said, "Mr. Lee, Bernie has asked all the regimental commanders to go and gather at the front, it is said that it is because the scouts who have scouted have discovered something, and they want to discuss it with everyone." ”
"Okay, I'll go over it. Xiao Hei, you stay with Elle, and Lao Pu you go with you. "Xiao Dai has been responsible for leading the team in the rear to take care of the goods for the past two days, so he didn't stay with us. The team led by the Guardian of Light should be here tonight, and I've already greeted Bernie and Pat before, so I'm afraid there will be some misunderstanding.
Bringing Lao Pu to the front of the group, Bernie was directing his mercenaries to set up camp, and when he saw me, he nodded to me and motioned for me to wait by the side. When everyone had arrived, Bernie walked over with a mercenary dressed as a scout with a solemn face. "That's right, the scout found something when he was scouting in front, and I'll let Joe explain it to you now."
"Hello everyone, my name is Joe, and it is like this, there is a boar man camp on our way, about three hours away from us. The camp is in the woods not far from the road, and it is supposed to have been recently relocated. There are about eighty wild boar people in the camp, and it cannot be ruled out that there are wild boar people shamans and priests, as well as more than two dozen battle wild boars domesticated by wild boar people. ”
"That's what happened." When Joe finished speaking, Bernie took over. "If we want to pass this road, we will definitely be discovered by this group of wild boar people, and everyone knows the temperament of the wild boar people, and when they see our convoy, they will definitely attack and will not let us go, so I plan to lead the team to this camp at night." Humans in this world do not have such symptoms as night blindness, and people can clearly see their surroundings at night with the help of a slight moonlight.
Bernie paused at this point, looked around and found that no one objected, and then said: "I plan to take my team, plus the two mercenary groups of the God of War Elbow and the Silver Elbow to attack the camp of the boar people at night, leaving the two mercenary groups of the Demon Dragon King and the Goddess of Dawn to be responsible for the security of the camp." "Bernie hasn't used the abbreviation since the last time he was ambushed, when he called the other mercenary groups." If there is no problem, the mercenary group that participated in the battle at night will go to prepare now, and then set off immediately after eating and resting for a while. ”
"Captain Li, please wait a moment." I was about to go back to arrange my guard duty for the night when Bernie suddenly stopped me. "That's right, regarding the operation of the night, I would like to seconded with you that goddess priest in your team to go with us, you can rest assured, I will definitely guarantee his safety." The title of priest is not found in this world, and the healers who master restoration magic in this world are called priests, such as shamans, light priests, elven priests, and so on. Because of the name of my mercenary group, everyone thinks that the priest in my team is a goddess priest who believes in the goddess of dawn, and Lao Pu is a paladin who serves the goddess, as for me, I am probably regarded as the pope, and I don't bother to explain this.
"Okay, Pu, you go and call Doc." Doc is the name I gave to the pastor, and it's a reasonable request, and I have no reason to refuse. Besides, my relationship with Bernie has eased a lot since the last ogre incident, and he doesn't think about digging me all day long.
Bernie led the team to a stop not far from the boarmen's camp, ordered the others to fix their place, and took Joe to the boarmen's camp to check on the situation. The moon is shining well tonight, and you can clearly see the situation in the boar man camp. There are more than 30 simple thatched huts scattered throughout the camp, and wild boar men with fighting boars can be seen patrolling the camp, and a few torches are burning in the camp. Because the battle boar has a very sensitive sense of smell, Bernie and Joe do not dare to get too close, and can only observe from a distance.
"Something seems wrong." Joe whispered. "It stands to reason that now should be the time for these wild boar people to fight in the camp to determine their status, why is the camp so quiet now?"
"It's not their hunting time at night, you weren't found when you scouted in the morning, did you?" Bernie asked, a little uneasy.
"Probably not, we are all very careful, and we also pay attention to cleaning up the traces when we leave." There was a hint of uncertainty in Joe's tone.
"No matter, let's go back now, the team should have been repaired, just lead the team to kill it and take a look, I always have a bad premonition."
When Bernie led the team to eliminate the wild boar people patrolling the perimeter, he found that the adult male boar people in the camp, including the battle wild boars, were all gone, and there were only a dozen female wild boars and wild boar people cubs in the camp.
"Oh no, did the boar people also spot us and go to our camp at night like us?" Bernie said angrily. "Quick, hurry back to camp."
At the same time, I was reading "Travels to the Mainland" in the camp, and I remembered that there was a record of wild boar people in the book, and I couldn't remember it clearly, so I read it again. According to the book, the Boar People are a brave ancient race, and the Boar People are warlike and fierce warriors. Boar people often haunt the periphery of other races' spheres of influence, they are **** and killers, and carry out bloody raids on weaker races. Adult male boar people are about 1.5 meters tall and have a strong physique, with the head of a wild boar and a sharp and hard coat on their backs, which have a certain defensive power and can make simple iron weapons and armor.
Boar people live in a patriarchal society, where power is everything, and female boar people must cover their heads, faces and spines, which is rare in other races. Female boar people are also not allowed to wear any jewelry, and if they touch a weapon, they are summarily executed. Young boar people are instilled with hatred for other races from the moment they are born. The ethics of the boar people are simple, women and children must obey adult males absolutely, adult males must obey those who are stronger than them, and all must obey shamans. The Boar Man Shaman is proficient in warfare and is able to summon piglins, and according to the Shamanic teachings of the Boar People, the Boar Man Martyrs will enter the unspeakable Elysium after death.
"Ellie, it's late, it's time to go to bed, and I'll have to get up early tomorrow to hurry." I said to Ellie, who was next to me.
"No, I'm not sleepy now, I want to listen to my brother's story." Ellie grabbed my hand and said coquettishly.
"Isn't the story finished? Go to bed, my brother is going to rest. You are obedient, and my brother will tell you a new story tomorrow. "I pet Ellie's little head, and every time Ellie spoils me, I can think of my younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage when I was on Earth, and I don't know what happened to them now.
"Okay, that's settled. I went to look for Sister Anne in the carriage, and during the day in the carriage I promised her to sleep with her at night. Elle said as she jumped and ran towards the carriage. Anne and her master and servant rarely got out of the carriage since they started on the road, and stayed in the carriage except when Judy would come down to get food during meals. I don't know how they solve their physiological problems. But it would be nice for Elle to rest in the carriage, at least much better than lying in these tents outside.
Watching Ellie get into the carriage, I tidied up and got ready for bed. At that moment, Blackie and the other archers suddenly jumped onto the nearest carriage and shot their arrows into the darkness, and then heard the screams of wild boars in the darkness. Lao Pu had already come to stand beside me, raised his hand and released the expulsion skill at Xiao Dai. Little Dai led the orc warriors and spellbreakers to take up a defensive position in the camp, and the witch had already come to stand beside me. The Demon Dragon King Wang Wang mercenary group also reacted, and the warriors spontaneously set up a formation centered on Xiao Dai, and the shooters who mastered the long-range attack methods also climbed onto the car in the same way, but because they couldn't see the enemy for the time being, they didn't shoot directly like the archers. I opened the system map and found that the perimeter of the camp was densely packed with red dots, which was roughly estimated to be about three times the number of us.
The enemy had already rushed out of the darkness at this time, and the head was a dozen huge wild boars, about three meters long, covered with hard hairs, and several wild boars were still stuck in their bodies with feather arrows, huge fangs turned out of their mouths, and rushed towards the camp at a very fast speed. Behind the herd of boars were the boar men, exactly the same as those described in the book, and they attacked the camp with their weapons in their arms and roaring. Didn't Bernie attack the Boar Man camp? Where did these wild boar people come from? Damn Bernie, this shitty shit, must have staggered the path with the boar man.
