It was three days after Austin woke up again, and his first reaction after waking up was thirst, feeling that his throat and lungs were burning uncomfortably, followed by a tingling sensation all over his body, and a moment later he felt a little itchy and numb, like thousands of ants crawling and gnawing on his body.

As soon as my mind turned around my body, I found that I only had too many wounds and muscle straines, although there were some cracks in my bones, the condition was far better than expected, and my internal organs were only slightly concussed. With his strong body and recovery ability, this situation will not take long to recover, but his body is too tired, and the effect of military recovery potions is far less pleasant than the complete set of recovery processes in Apocalypse City.

As soon as the source force was running, he felt that the pain in his body was even more intense, and he couldn't help but let out a moan. The paramedic next to him heard Austin's voice and exclaimed in surprise: "The chief is awake!

"Water—" Austin made a faint sound, and someone next to him immediately handed him a glass of water, controlling him to take a small sip. Although a person who has just woken up should not drink so much water, for a person with an ability like Austin, most of these rules can be ignored, and the main thing now is to replenish the energy in his body.

Austin's bandages made him lie on the bed like a mummy, watching as the medical staff poured various drugs into his body. Suddenly, Austin felt that the cells in his body were boiling, and the source force began to flow unconsciously, and in his perception, the dark wounds on his body were repaired at a visible speed, and the nearly depleted source power was gradually rushing in his body.

He was feeling the vitality gradually recovering in his body, when suddenly there was a breath from the door that made his heart skip a beat. Opening his eyes, Locke's figure appeared at the door, and just as he was about to knock lightly, he noticed Austin's gaze, and the movements of his hands slowed down slightly, but the protruding bone joints still made a crisp sound on the door.

"Please come in. Austin nodded, holding back his discomfort.

Locke walked in and said, "Honorable sir, it's a pleasure to see you awake, although I know that you are just tired these days, it still worries me and others. I suppose you must have been very worried about your men, so as soon as I heard that you had awakened, I rushed to inform you that your men had woken up before you, and that Mr. Davix, who had been the most seriously wounded, had many broken bones, but it was fine, and he would be healed in about a month. In addition, it may take about another three days for your injuries to be able to fight normally. ”

Austin could clearly feel the deliberate respect shown in Locke's words, the two had only formed an alliance with each other because of their own interests, Austin wanted support to control the situation, and Locke needed to contact the children of the direct head of the Julitan family to cement his position as the heir to the family.

Now, however, the reverence revealed in Locke's language was entirely the attitude of his men towards their superiors, or perhaps more appropriately, the worship of the warriors in one place as if they were idols.

Austin asked tactfully: "Thank you Mr. Locke for your concern, this time I took the risk of underestimating the enemy, making myself deeply encircled, and consuming so many military resources, did it bring a lot of trouble?"

When Locke heard Austin's question, he suddenly became excited, and the smile on his face was replaced by a flushed cheek, and said, "How can it be? You are now the idol of the entire Cold River City!"

Austin was also a little surprised, and before he could speak, Locke calmed down and continued: "I'm afraid you don't know your record...... You don't know, and we don't know either, but as soon as you got inside, the enemy's manpower suddenly began to shrink, and the resistance to our infiltration group was significantly reduced, as if the other side was scared. I have to say that the efficiency of your trip is equal to the sum of our cannibalization plan until now!"

"Not necessarily, how can you be sure that it is the result of my operation? Maybe it's the other side's strategic retrenchment, or maybe the cannibalization plan has finally worked?"

"Impossible!" Locke shook his head firmly, "The opponent's style of not fearing death has always been based on expansion, killing and injuring our living forces, and there can be no strategic contraction. As for the plan...... Whether or not the plans made by those military departments can really achieve results is a matter of two things, and it is impossible for them to suddenly explode during this time. ”

Austin only remembers that he kept killing and killing, breaking through one encirclement after another, and he had no memory of how many people he had killed.

"Mr. Austin, we have received reliable information that the other party has killed a fifth-order white-robed mage and more than a dozen fourth-order masters, do you always remember?"

Austin nodded, the white-robed mage he remembered very clearly, it was the other party who still had all kinds of powerful means that had not been used, and he and Austin were killed by him and Austin with thunder, but he made several people fall into the dilemma of being forced to retreat with a casual blow, which shows that it is powerful.

"That's it, although the Northern Barbarians are divided into shamans, mages and warriors, mages are just like our elemental powers, called mobile batteries on the battlefield, but this time the other party has laid a strange spell, every white-robed barbarian is responsible for an important part of it, the more people, the greater the power of the black mist and the promotion of the chaos. ”

Only then did Austin suddenly realize that it didn't matter how many fourth-order people he killed, but the white-robed mage he killed by mistake directly weakened the opponent's overall strength.

Locke explained the current situation to Austin again, and then said, "Then I will take my leave first, and you can rest." As for your exploits, we will report it truthfully, this matter ...... Even if it isn't, it has to be. ”

Morale is always one of the most important factors affecting war, and Austin naturally understands this. Hearing Locke's meaningful words, he sighed softly and closed his eyes again, and Locke gently withdrew.
