Chapter 515: Potion No. 3
In any case, relying on the water attack and the counter-charge of the reserves, Lomin bought most of the soldiers of the coalition army almost half an hour of rest.
After this time, the enemy had cleared the streams, marshes, and other obstacles, and came forward again.
Half an hour is certainly not enough to fully recover your physical strength, but if you can recover a little, you can last a little longer.
As long as it can be delayed until this evening, it is equivalent to being able to delay until the next day.
After all, the enemy will be very tired after a day of fighting today, and if you don't rest well for a night and continue to attack or pursue, fatigue will build up even more.
Such a tired army can easily collapse, or it will not be able to detect the ambush and be scattered by a sudden attack.
An extra day of delaying means means that the autumn harvest and retreat in the rear can be carried out for an extra day.
The peasants more or less knew that there would be fierce enemies to grab the grain, and basically they were reluctant to desperately grab the grain day and night, which was basically equivalent to being able to collect more grain that could be harvested in the past two days.
At this time, even a little grain is worth a thousand gold, let alone so much grain.
This basically determined the strategy for a long time after Luo Ming, almost to the point of life and death.
Of course, death is not really death, even in the most serious case, he has time to leave his territory behind and bring his core followers to a golden cicada shell.
After all, there are very few people who can kill Luo Ming now, and it is only possible to attack with two great sword masters, but even if he does, he still has a chance to escape.
But what is the difference between that and death? After three years of painstaking operation, and the fact that it happened to encounter many opportunities to develop into such a base area as it is now, and the infamy of abandoning the land and fleeing, it will take a few years to develop again next time?
If you waste those few years, if the catastrophe comes, it will be even more difficult to survive, and it is basically no different from death.
Luo Ming calculated the time, and it would take nearly three more hours, frowned slightly, and called Pelodiana over.
"You go and prepare Potion Three...... It has to be used now, according to the plan. Luo Ming said succinctly.
The young scholar's face immediately showed an expression of excitement, and she immediately smiled and saluted Luo Ming before leaving.
Looking at the way she was bouncing along the way, Luo Ming also thought that he saw a female high school student on the earth, and she looked so cute, after all, she was also good-looking, and she was quite confused.
But if you think about why she's happy, you're sure to be able to scare most people off.
Anyway, Luo Ming felt that it was better to keep a distance from him and watch from a distance.
"Hehe, it's worth it for me to run here. Human experiments on hundreds of people, no risk of being hunted down, no need to pay a penny, and even reap the reward of upside down......"
Just thinking about it made her brain secrete a large number of hormones that cause excitement and pleasure, and her face couldn't help but show a look of infatuation, and her face was a little flushed.
However, her self-control was immediately put into use, the hormones were quickly broken down, and then the whole person quickly regained her composure from her brain to her limbs, and quickly devoted herself to the work of concocting the potion.
No. 3 drug, which is the code name of a product that is a mixture of stimulants and some other drugs, is quite effective in short, and can make tired people squeeze out a lot of physical strength, comparable to a brute bull.
Although there will be many days of dizziness and weakness afterwards, as if you have a serious illness, it is much better than being exhausted and dying in battle.
But no matter how effective it is, it is impossible for a tired person to persist in fighting for another three hours. The most effective time of the No. 3 potion should be only about an hour, and after an hour and a half, the effect of the drug will begin to decline.
There is still a little time in between, and it looks like you need to fight for it yourself, Luo Ming stroked the long sword and pondered.
Soon, Pelodiana claimed to be the alchemist of Lomin's family, convincing most of the nobles to use Elixir No. 3.
To be honest, if it is for more than 2,000 people in the coalition army, it will definitely not be enough, even if Romingen spends money to produce such a large amount, it will be difficult to transport all of them here.
As a result, the amount of medicine carried this time was only enough for 200 people—some of the soldiers of each noble family were "volunteered" to use the potion, and in addition to this, the nobles promised to give Luo Ming some payment.
Although the priests and some mages have spells to detect good and evil, in the past year, Pelodiana has been watched by Luo Ming, has never gone out to harm people, has done a few human experiments, but has invented new drugs that can save more people, and has also trained a group of physician apprentices, so she can't see anything wrong with her.
And there is nothing wrong with the potion, the stimulant is not a poison that is purely harmful to people, and there is no harm to anyone's life or the use of evil methods in the preparation process, and it is impossible to see the evil qi with any spell probed.
This is also one of the blind spots of spell methods, Luo Ming remembers reading a book in his previous life that someone deceived this kind of spell by a similar method - using a tonic to harm people, or mixing several normal ingredients to produce toxins.
Tonic medicine is a good thing, no matter how you test it, you can't detect evil qi and harm, but if you eat too much, there will be problems.
For example, if you eat a whole old ginseng, a young man may be fine if he has a nosebleed, but a frail patient or an elderly person will be in danger of his life if he overmakes up for it.
It's absolutely fine to test normal ingredients alone, but sometimes, the ingredients contained in several ingredients will react in the human body, producing highly toxic substances, which are enough to harm people, and for ordinary spellcasters, this is also a trick that touches the blind spot of thinking.
Of course, there is no need to be so foolish this time - Pelodiana directly told the nobles about the possible side effects, without concealing it, but they did not object too much.
They also know that as long as they can make it into the evening, it is equivalent to an extra night.
They have held out for so long before, and many of the soldiers they brought have been damaged, and if they give up now, they will fall short, and the investment in front of them will not be recovered—the dead cannot be resurrected.
Rather than this, it is better to sacrifice a little more soldiers and hold on a little longer.
It's like many investors who refuse to cut their positions and stop losses even if they lose money, and they still want to continue to invest.
However, Luo Ming thinks that there is still a difference, the principle of the stock market itself stipulates that it is a system in which a few people benefit and many people suffer, and the dealer and even the country will use asymmetric advantages to ensure that they obtain the greatest benefit, and now in this war, every investment can get a real benefit - that is, the harvest of grain in the rear.
If we don't resist the Belan army here for a while, we won't have enough grain to eat until next autumn's harvest - considering the war, maybe we won't be able to farm well next year, so we will have to rely on grain storage for another year.
Although it was possible to deprive the peasants of their food rations, the population itself was also a huge wealth, and if too many peasants starved to death, they would have to recover for many years.
