Chapter 659: Found a Treasure
Yoi, a little girl, has a delicate and beautiful appearance that has never been seen in the world, and she is not a Soma at all, nor is she an orc, and it is also different from the legendary fairy race, it is definitely some kind of more magical immortal species.
To some extent, the combination of Yoe and the Ranger in Black is very much in line with the elements of the legendary story, and many of the heroes in those legendary stories have magical followers who leave good stories together.
There are rumors that the little girl next to the Black Ranger is a magical elf, and it is also said that she is a gift from the gods.
And the strength of the black-clothed ranger has been obvious to all, and there are even rumors that he once killed four trolls with one enemy and four, and each troll was almost dismembered, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
In this case, Yui, who has a mysterious background, personally promised to take care of the wounded soldier, which made others a little envious.
With Riva silent, the mercenaries didn't know if they would be accepted, and it was clear that only the most seriously wounded soldier could be considered to be able to follow the black-clad ranger now.
Yui grinned and gently patted the terrible tearing through the wound that had been wrapped around the cloth strip and simply treated.
"Does it hurt?"
"Shhhh It's a little, but it's okay!"
"Well, it's okay, it's going to be fine!"
Yui smiled and stood up, the more she looked at this wounded soldier, the more satisfied she became, no matter how you say it, she is also a hero, and she will quietly help him recover from his wounds when the time comes, how to say that it is also the first little brother of her and Riva, and he can't be left disabled.
Anyway, this person's life is really big, and he was seriously injured at the same level, and if he changed a soldier, he would basically be dead, and now most of the other wounded soldiers here are just some deep cuts, but most of them are pale and depressed.
'As the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing after a disaster, and it makes sense, when you meet me and Riva, isn't it a blessing!'
Very proud, Yoi got up and jumped to the river, sat on a rock, and soaked his feet in the water to play.
Some of the soldiers were even a little stunned.
"Ranger, they're back!"
A mercenary on guard was the first to spot the returnees, and soon after reaching the river, Riva went out with three healthy soldiers in search of food.
At this moment, Riva carried a beast the size of a goat on his shoulder, while one of the other three carried two birds the size of chickens, and two others carried a lot of wild vegetables and berry vines.
"Quick, come over and help!!"
"Light the firewood!"
"I'll take care of the food!"
...
When they see their prey, those who can still move take action, after all, they are already hungry, and their bodies continue to replenish protein.
As the sound of barbecue and broth rose in this makeshift camp, the camp grew quiet, all eyes on the meat on the improvised grill and swallowed.
Finally, after a seemingly long wait, it was time to eat meat and soup, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and Riva began to get acquainted with the group.
In the camp, the wounded soldier who had fallen asleep from exhaustion was now aware of all the changes around him, although his eyes were closed.
It is even clear that Yoe is now gathering strength at the top of a big tree next to him, and he will probably secretly come to help him recover his wounds for a while.
It's just that what Yui doesn't know is that she has a good impression of this wounded soldier, not just because the other party has a brilliant idea, but because although the wounded soldier is still a wounded soldier, he is no longer the wounded soldier he once was.
In addition to the wounded soldier, the rest of the camp got acquainted with Riva and asked him about his previous deeds, including how many refugees he had saved, whether he had really defeated the trolls, and whether he had caused exclamations or silence.
Although Riva never said that he wanted to be the head of those followers, there was a basis for building trust between them.
Riva is one of those people who would never say anything casually, even verbally, and intelligent beings of character, whether human or Soma, tend to be more committed to it.
This is also one of the points that Qin Xiaoxia appreciates Riva more, which is a manifestation of a sense of responsibility, and adding courage to this is even more valuable.
After studying the discipline of the mind for so long, within the Dawn Association, where a hundred flowers are blooming, a master of the discipline of psychic art has published a paper called "On the Mutual Influence of Excellent Qualities", in which the argument clearly states that some excellent qualities can complement each other, such as the boosting effect of a sense of responsibility on courage, and Qin Xiaoxia also thinks so.
Don't look at Riva's current state, but he can definitely feel the expectations of the people around him, even if he doesn't agree, he still cares in his heart.
'What a boy!'
The wounded soldiers, who were already quite tired, finally really fell asleep, and this sleep went straight to dawn the next day.
When they got up in the morning, the soldiers were surprised to find that the wounded soldier, who had been seriously injured and dying, was still miserable, but he was able to eat something without the help of others.
After a day of repairing, the wounds were carefully treated after eating a full stomach, and the condition of the team of less than thirty people was much better than the previous day, so Riva also decided not to delay any longer, and had to hurry to the kingdom city.
It's just that sometimes plans don't keep up with changes.
When they walked out of the mountains and into the city road after about half a day, Yui already smelled something strange.
So the group relaxed a little from the original, and returned to a state of nervous alert.
At the top of a tree, Riva carefully peeled off the dense leaves on the canopy, and looked at the so-called city in the distance with excellent eyesight, and saw that the gate was open, and the head of the city was no longer the trace of the kingdom army, but the wild orcs were wandering.
The city gates and under the walls were littered with corpses, and several trolls were dragging a cart and throwing corpses onto it.
And the direction of the city was billowing smoke in the sky, and there were some faint noisy sounds that could not be heard.
Riva adjusted his breathing, got down from the tree, and left deep in the forest, and soon returned to the place where the remaining twenty people were, who were nervously waiting for Riva's reconnaissance.
"Turnar has been lost, and there are wild orcs everywhere near the city gates, the exact number is unknown, and three trolls have been seen. β
Riva spoke directly about the situation.
"What!?"
"Impossible! Our team has only been out for three days, how can the Desolate Orcs capture a city with at least 6,000 Kingdom Army Commanders in such a short period of time!!"
"How can this be ......"
......
For a while, everyone was a little depressed and panicked, during this time, the desolate orcs have not been able to go further, thinking that they would retreat before the real winter, but they didn't expect this result.
"If a monster like a troll comes by chance and comes by surprise, it wouldn't be a surprise to take the city, and perhaps another fortress that echoes Turner has also been lost. β
When even Riva didn't know what to say, the first to speak was the half-dead wounded soldier.
"Who's got the map?"
The wounded soldier swept through everyone.
"Maps are only available to officers......"
One replied in a whisper.
"Okay, that's just going to be drawn on the ground!"
The wounded soldier climbed out of the improvised stretcher that had been carrying him, trying to support his body, but Riva reacted quickly and helped him steady first.
"Thank you, Lord Riva, I still need a twig. β
"Give!"
It was Yui who handed over the branch, and she was curious about what the wounded soldier was doing, and when she saw the wounded soldier take the branch, she drew it on the ground.
A few strokes of the line, followed by some graffiti-like symbols, circles and vertical lines plan the location, the length of the horizontal line and the density plan height, the Z-shape represents the trees, and the waves represent the river......
In less than two minutes, a very minimalist topography map appeared on the ground, and the painter used a rough tree branch.
"This is where we are, in the dense forest outside Turner, although the wild orcs also have reconnaissance and sentinel points, they don't seem to care about the rear after the advance, there is the Rebek Fortress, on the surface, it can bypass Rebek and attack here directly, but the mountains and this river, as well as the swamps there, are not good places for the army to march, and the rest of the place, the two kingdom fortresses are each other's horns, and here, here and here, there are kingdom army outposts, sending at least 12 scouts every day, and there are at least 5 towns and garrison troops behind the two military fortresses that can support each other, but limited to the size of the city, they can't all come over, what does this meanοΌβ
After the wounded soldier finished speaking, he looked at the people around him, and found that everyone was confused, even Riva and Yoi had similar expressions.
"Uh... Gurion, what do you want to say?"
A soldier who was close to the wounded soldier asked in a low voice, although he didn't know what was going on.
The wounded soldier named Gurion took a deep breath and told himself that they were just uneducated creeps.
"I mean, not only is Nariel lost, but it's also very likely that Rebek and the five kingdom military garrisons behind the two cities have all fallen, and if we go back to the kingdom's control, then at least in a big circle. β
The branch in the wounded soldier's hand drew a diagonal line with an arc on the improvised map.
No one around them spoke, and some were shocked.
"It's... How is this possible!, I mean... Gurion, how do you understand this?"
The soldier he knew stared at the wounded soldier and felt strange.
Gurion looked at it and asked rhetorically.
"When did we first meet?"
"After joining the army. β
"How many years have we been in the army?"
"Two years. β
"That's not it, you don't know much about it before that, I just don't think I need to or want to highlight myself before!"
No matter how horrific the wounded soldier is, at least it makes sense at the moment.
Yui's eyes almost lit up, and he kept tugging at the corner of Riva behind him, muttering quietly in his mouth.
"Found the treasure Riva, we found the treasure !!!"
