Chapter 127: Riverclaw Warrior
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Everyone watched in awe as the Master Mage cast his magic and carried away the pile of crop golems that gave them a headache, which was a complete miracle for the farmers who rarely saw magic.
Egger was clumsy, and after he finished transporting one, he noticed everyone's surprised looks, so he took advantage of the situation to look very tired, and told old Satin that these wrecks were handed over to him to deal with, but he needed to rest for a long time for each one he hauled, because his mental strength was not enough......
In fact, he transported these wheat field puppets (less than a ton) weighing about 1,000 catties, there is no problem at all, the spiritual power index of this goods is far from ordinary people, and even the larger ones can be moved, just in order not to shock the world, this is deliberately like this, every time he finishes moving, he will find a place to sit down and stay, in the eyes of others, this is Hugh as a whole, so that it seems a little more balanced. Isn't it 15 units anyway? Anyway, he is now a bodyguard, and he is not in a hurry to do anything, he has plenty of time.
The farmers were temporarily free from the distractions of these heavy tasks, but their enthusiasm was suddenly high, and everyone divided a piece of land to dig and weed, sweating for the next harvest...... Beside him, Iger rode vigilantly and kept an eye on the movements around him.
There are no big animals to help with the farm work, especially no oxen to pull the plow, and now only a few young men can pull it by manpower, which is inefficient. However, Egger was not kind enough to contribute his war horse to do farm work. His dark clouds covered with snow were war horses, and he had never been trained to pull a plow. Of course, no fellow dared to borrow a horse from the knight to plough the land, which was really a long life.
After a day's work. However, there was a small episode, a wild boar suddenly broke in, and before knocking over a peasant woman, it was blown away by Egger's fireball technique that arrived in time, and also contributed a lot of meat to the group...... Of course, this is if Iger agrees to take it out, after all, this is his prey and has absolute dominance.
In the evening, when the brigade returned home from work, it was at the door of old Sardin's house. Resting a group of fighters. There are about a dozen people, and I think the support from Sentinel Ridge has arrived! Soon, the appearance of Luke, the second son of old Sardin, illustrates the whole problem. Iger didn't bother to bother with his words. Let Heiko explain it to his brother himself. I asked for some water. After taking a shower and completing the meditation routine, I went to sleep.

……
As promised, he accepted a silver coin from Heiko to pay for the hired assignment, and in the grateful eyes of the family, Egger reappeared. As for what he had been instructed before, Heiko had already done it, and these KPA soldiers would continue to protect everyone after completing the sowing task this season before they would evacuate with the grain, of course, the grain was sold by Iger to Stallman, and a certain army commander had to pay for it, and I believe he would be happy to do so. As for Heiko himself, he has officially talked to the squad leader that he will temporarily withdraw from the sequence of the Western People's Army and set up a small local guard near Satin Farm to deal with some sudden small problems, while his younger brother Luke will continue to fight for the People's Army.
According to the last words of old Sardin, the family finally has a hope.
……
The Riverclaw Gnoll mission, the Beach Fishman mission, and the Mine Capture mission are the goals that Iger can currently prioritize. Among them, on the side of the Riverpaw Gnoll, the task does not require a fixed location, just kill as many as possible, and there is no need to do it. Fish-people are only found along the Gold Coast and need to be cleaned up. Only the Jangorod Mine, from the geographical point of view, is the most suitable to be solved first, and by the way, you can also see if there are any gnolls nearby that can be killed?
Distressed! Judging from the location of these missions and the vastness of the western wilderness, I am afraid that I will have to sleep in the wild for quite a long time. It's not that you can't endure hardship, but no one wants to float outside for a long time, so you have to do it as a last resort.
Geographically speaking, the closest to the Jangorod Mine should be the Goth Farm that he had infiltrated before, but even if the two relatively close locations are still quite a distance, at least they have to ride a horse, and it will take a long time to walk.
From the Sardinia farm, just head diagonally to the northwest, anyway, in this wilderness, most of the place is roadless. Along the way, he passed several small abandoned farms, which were no longer empty, and were either killed or fled, all by thieves. In the deserted fields, there are still some lonely wheat field puppets, some of them are completely lying down, and some are still patrolling the wasteland. Iger thought for a moment, and probably understood what was going on.
There are some remote places that are not worth the hands of the Diafi thieves, and they can't really control all the places, so no one should have touched the wheat field puppets in these small places, but the owner ran away directly because the thieves around him were too fierce, so the field also panicked, and the wheat field puppet was also abandoned, but these artificial intelligence had no way to judge such a complicated situation, and could only faithfully continue their duties in place, even if the land was essentially barren because of the lack of an owner.
He can bypass these puppets who have lost their masters, and do not disturb their lives, and when he is tired at night, he will find a random house on the side of the road to live in, there is no master in it, but the bed and furniture are complete, and it can be used by simply cleaning the dust, and let the elves guard the door, even if it is a good campsite, it is better than setting up a tent directly in the field, so that it is empty on all sides, and it is easy to be surrounded by enemies or wild beasts, even if there are loyal elf guards, it is still risky.
On his way to the Jangorod Mine, Iger unexpectedly encounters a group of Riverpaw Gnolls......
This is a typical western landform, surrounded by plains, sparsely landed a few old trees and maintained immortal, the only commendable thing is that there is a small piece of mud here, there is not much stagnant water in the small pool, this water quality is not drinkable by people, but it is suitable for these jackals, they will sometimes swallow the mud inside, if you are lucky, there may be a loach in the mud as nutrition.
Unlike the mud-clawed gnolls that haunt the deep forests of Alwyn, they are stronger and more adaptable riverpaw gnolls, and although they are close branches, they have little to no intersection due to geographical differences. As for the lax news that the Mudclaw Gnoll had just started a civil war, or that they had just lost their leader Hogg, who was about to become a hero, they didn't care at all. These riverpaw gnolls are concerned with how to compete with their old enemies in this barren and vast land, and ultimately emerge victorious.
The Riverpaw Gnoll has always had only one archenemy, and that is humans! It doesn't matter what the Western People's Army, what the Diafi Brotherhood is, it's all damn humans, all of them are damned humans who are competing with them for survival resources, and they all deserve to die!
These gnolls were the most hated enemies of the westerners before the Brotherhood wreaked havoc on the area. They are ignorant and savage, but they are not without intelligence, and in fact, when you realize that these riverpaw gnolls can actually give birth to many legal professions that are known for their high intelligence, you have to admit that they do have their own unique set of culture and professional systems.
Riverclaw warriors are necessarily warriors, and they are mostly berserkers with wooden shields and blunt weapons.
Riverpaw hunters are supposed to be hunters, and some of them will take mountain dogs as pets, and they can also shoot with simple bows and arrows, although the attack power is not high because of the workmanship.
Riverclaw herbalist, good at using herbs and even potions to cure diseases and save people, should be the physician in the group, the status is relatively high, generally has his own separate tent, the combat effectiveness is low, but he also has a certain melee ability.
Riverclaw Diviner, apparently a simplified and reduced version of a fire mage.
The fact that the river claw shamans, this ancient and ignorant ethnic group, actually have a profession like this spiritual pillar, which shows that they have their own racial totems.
Of course, this is not a complete list, but only the enemies that Iger can use to fight after taking a closer look at this small gnoll settlement. The problem is that there are a lot of civilian-like guys here......
It is indeed very difficult to distinguish between these gnolls who look the same on the outside as male or female! It's almost impossible to tell which name corresponds to a group of black people on the street (it is said that Europeans can't tell the yellow face, and it's easy to distinguish between men and women, but it's really hard to distinguish between people with different skin tones unless you're familiar enough with them), but Iger can at least see that there are a few female-like gnolls breastfeeding their cubs......
This is a very complete system of gnolls settlement, there are probably dozens of people, but the warriors account for at least half of them, because the gnolls do not have a female can not be a warrior, in such a harsh living conditions, women also have to participate in the battle. He observed that one of the gnolls had an asymmetrical left and right chest, while the left bulging right side seemed to be completely absent, which was extremely unnatural. It didn't take long for him to figure it out immediately, I'm afraid this is a female jackal, but the right breast room has been completely cut off because of combat needs, so that it will not be impossible to use various combat skills that require large movements in the battle for this reason.
As for breastfeeding the cubs? Just one breast room is enough, isn't it? (To be continued......)
