661. One night

Captain Gabri could feel the strong aura of holy light in the tent, and when he saw a mercenary with a bandage on his arm bowing his head out of the tent, he hurriedly called the mercenary named Ed, and asked a little about the knife wound on his arm, as well as some of the healing methods of Baron Surdak, Ed was very happy and whispered the whole healing process.

Captain Gabri was now sure that Baron Surdak did indeed have the Holy Light Technique in his hands.

For the Sea Giant Mercenary Regiment, this was a real surprise.

Since a few years ago, the temple priests and battle priests have been withdrawing from the battle groups of the Grimm Empire's army one after another, and now, it is difficult to find priests in the entire Grimm Empire. As a result, now being injured on the battlefield has become a very dangerous thing, in addition to simple bandaging and suturing, it is mainly relying on one's own physique to resist, and magic potions and water magicians have gradually become a luxury means of treatment.

Captain Gabri had never hoped that a noble knight with Holy Light would help deal with the wounded mercenaries after the battle.

Surdak was busy until late before he came out of the tent, but in the blink of an eye he didn't know where he had gone.

For the first sheriff of the Badlands, Captain Gabri felt that he might still underestimate his strength every time, and when they first met and accepted the mercenary, the mercenary group entered the village of Wall, when he stood on the pass of Paglos and saw the imposing dam upstream of Wall, when he looked at the rows of newly built houses in the village, when he lit up his knightly aura during the battle in the Sweetwater Oasis......

The bonfire by the sweet pool had not yet been extinguished, and even above the vent, the pungent smell of burnt paste could still be smelled, and the corpses of more than a hundred thieves had been reduced to ashes in the fire.

A group of women sat silently around the campfire, some of them had lived among the robbers since childhood, and some were nomads from the surrounding barren mountains who had been robbed by the bandits and became slaves, some were village girls in the barren land, and some women were said to have come to the desert province of Salva, and they followed the bandits around.

They were slave girls when there was plenty of food, and when there was a famine they became food for the robbers, who were not even worth as much as an old horse carrying goods in the eyes of the desert robbers.

There was no one to take care of them on the side of the cavalry battalion, but because they were counting tents and other supplies one after another, they were driven out of the tents by the veterans and gathered around the campfire, some people were trembling with fear, some people were numb, and some people's eyes were full of hatred, this is a desert, and it is in the cold winter, without horses and supplies, it is impossible to leave the Sweetwater Oasis.

As long as the horses and camels are guarded, there is no fear that anyone will run.

Many camels and horses died in this battle, so instead of marching rations, dinner was eaten with bone-in broth and large pieces of horse meat.

The ogre sat beside the campfire, paying no attention to the white-burning bones in the fire, holding a burnt horse's leg, on which from time to time the dagger was cut and thrown into his mouth, unaffected by the corpses in the fire, but ate with relish, and frightened the women beside the fire for a moment.

Captain Gabri found out that this was a reasonable ogre, and he was willing to follow the rules as long as he thought what you said made sense.

The biggest gain of Surdak in this battle was the war horses and camels, in addition, there were some pastures and grains hoarded in the Sweetwater Oasis, which was not much, but there were several large stacks, and the grain was very mixed, and miscellaneous grains and beans were the majority.

There were only a few dozen bags of wheat flour, which was a pitiful amount for a bandit group of about two hundred.

Every robber has a little savings, but they don't keep all the money on them, so this time there are not many gold coins collected on these robbers, and some money bags are collected into their pockets on the spot by the mercenaries of the mercenary group during the battle, even so, there are more than fifty gold coins collected, and the veterans of the cavalry battalion also found a bag of gems in the tent of the robber leader.

In addition to the gold coins, more than 40 tents were seized, which looked dirty and old, but they were very warm, and they were very simple to set up, and there was no need for a windbreak rope, and this kind of old tent was much smaller than the standard tents in the barracks, and the biggest advantage was that it was simple and convenient to set up.

When the mercenary agreement was signed, in order to maximize the benefits, Captain Gabri raised the price of killing the robbers to one piece of hardware, and for this reason, he gave up many additional rights to Surdak, including war horses, those supplies in the camp, the money on the robbers, and even weapons and leather armor.

Most of the weapons used by the robbers are scimitars and spears, short bows that are easy to use on horseback, these spears and short bows of the robbers are very ordinary, far inferior to the standard weapons of the guard battalion, knight spears and alloy bows, such second-hand weapons can not be sold for money in the thrift market, but those scimitars whose arc is a little exaggerated are very popular with the nobles in the market.

After cleaning the battlefield, the veterans sat down beside the bonfire, took out knives and twine to repair the rough leather armor, and re-sewed the cuts of the swords, and eagerly put them on their bodies, which made the bonfire look very lively for a while.

At that time, Commander Gabri considered that he could not completely wipe out the robbers in the desert oasis, so he could only use wolf pack tactics in the desert to hunt the robbers in exchange for a reward, so it was more in the interests of the mercenary group to hunt heads in exchange for a reward.

Looking at it now, Commander Gabriel has miscalculated, and the benefits of a battle are far more than a few hundred gold coins.

Baron Surdak was the big winner of the Battle of the Sweetwater Oasis.

Among the mercenaries who originally needed to be on duty tonight, several of them who were slightly injured were arranged to rest by Captain Gabbri, in the desert, they had to maintain their most basic physical fitness at all times, once the overdraft was too bad, it was difficult to recover from this difficult environment, so Captain Gabry did not let other mercenaries replace the injured mercenaries on duty at night.

He stood in the cold night wind.

To the north of the Sweet Water Oasis is a poplar forest, shadowed by the cold glow of a crescent moon.

At this moment, he had a feeling that was difficult to describe, and the whole night was like a pair of invisible hands, hugging the Sweet Water Oasis tightly......

……

For Viru, his body is at a certain critical point at this moment, as long as he takes that step, he can step into the ranks of second-turn powerhouses, but last time in order to probe the details of Surdak, he gave up the best time, and now he can only wait for the opportunity to break into that level again.

The cold wind blew through the treetops, the dead branches covered with rime shook slightly, and countless ice crystals and snow flakes formed by hexahedron condensed flew down from the forest, like a wisp of residual snow falling from the sky.

The slave girls around the campfire wept softly, the charcoal crackled and exploded in the fire, and several horses in the herd snorted impatiently......

The subtle sounds burst into Viru's ears, and he struggled to discern from them whether there was any danger lurking.

In the desert oasis, only a few veterans of the cavalry battalion were guarding the horses.

The big ogre, after roasting a whole leg of the horse, sat down beside the horses with his steaming legs and feasted on them, and his rude behavior frightened some of the horses next to him into not even daring to eat the forage in the trough. The strand was towards the ogre, and if he dared to get closer, he was bound to kick him hard.

The honest smile on the ogre's face was full of joy for his friends, but it was a nightmare for his enemies who feared him.

I don't know where Surdak found such a partner.

Surdak and the taciturn woman sat on a haystack, looking like they were admiring the crescent moon in the night sky.

It's a cold night, but it's quite emotional.

The only bad thing is that it's a bit cold on the haystack.

Viru felt that Surdak was very different in personality compared to before, and he was too calm before, but he would not have this kind of mood.

In today's battle, Viru is also carefully observing Surdak, although he chose to take the knight's road after a turn, but his basic combat method is still a shield warrior holding a shield and swinging a sword, but he has comprehended the aura of a knight, it seems that if he has the opportunity to advance to the second turn of the strong in the future, he will also become a big knight, and he will go farther and farther away from his defensive road.

However, there is one thing that makes Viru puzzled, with the personal strength shown by Surdak, it should at least be a high-level knight, with his current economic strength, it is impossible for this level to be without a magic pattern structure, even his follower has a top-level magic pattern structure, he is actually wearing a salamander leather armor without any magic pattern, it is really a bit low-key......

The clear light of the cold moon sprinkled on the white desert, and Viru closed his eyes and broke into the dream that poured out countless black mist......

……

Surrounded by a group of cavalry battalion veterans, Andrew is sitting in front of a campfire and telling how to deal with the battle, and for Andrew, who has awakened the soul of a berserker, the best defense is to attack, and he is now instilling these ideas in these veterans.

Of course, veterans don't blindly listen to Andrew's words.

Andrew's point of view is this, how can the attacker launch the most powerful blow on the battlefield, that is, when attacking without considering defense, in teamwork, the offense can ensure the safety of his teammates, and the veterans of the cavalry battalion have different views.

Although there are differences of opinion, this group of veterans is still impressed by the bravery of Andrew, a warrior of the Nanai tribe.

In particular, he is still a constructed warrior, and his heavy armor made of black iron makes his opponents unable to start, and the veterans believe that there are two main reasons why Andrew is so brave:

The first is the powerful defensive ability of this top-level magic pattern structure on his body.

Second, his boss, Baron Surdak, has a strong healing power, so that he has no worries at all when fighting.

Andrew said he didn't agree with the veterans' view......

……

The night has completely enveloped the Sweet Water Oasis.

Selena sat up from the haystack and said to Surdak, who was a little worried about the mountain of hay beside her, "You can ask your contract partner to open the door to summoning, this area has been covered by my 'night barrier', and no one here in the oasis should see you open the magic array." ”

Selena was full of a thick dark aura, she seemed to have become another person at this time, her eyes were extremely powerful and confident, and her eyes were full of aggression when she looked at Surdak.

"You think I should get rid of all this forage, too?" Surdak didn't seem to notice Selena's change, and bent over to look at the haystack.

Selena pursed her lips and smiled.

She stood aside, surrounded by a layer of black mist, and said to Surdak: "Of course, you now have so many horses and camels, and you have to consume a lot of forage every day, of course you have to hoard this forage, and you don't have a carriage and a logistics regiment now, so you can't take all this forage with you, and you can't stay here, of course, you have to transport some of the ones that can't be taken away first." ”

Surdak was a little worried, and muttered to himself, "So much, I may have to move all night." ”

Selena smiled lightly and said, "That's your business, I can't help you, by the way, I can't accompany you here, I'm going to talk to those women, maybe they want to find a support at this time." ”

Surdak rubbed his forehead lightly and said, "You have developed those kobold slaves, isn't it enough?" ”

Selena nodded very seriously and said, "Of course, the more believers of the goddess, the more pious the better......"

As he spoke, he walked to the fire beside the sweet water pool not far away, obviously there was light shining on the side of the fire, but after Selena took a few steps, her body actually disappeared from Surdak's sight.

He was thinking about how to appease Aphrodite.

Opening the summoning magic array so frequently is also a big burden for the succubus.

But the most important thing for the moment is to take all these things away, this time some horses and camels have been captured, they can also carry some of the forage, and they will have to consume some of it for two days in the Sweet Water Oasis, and the rest will be moved to the brimstone camp.

It looks like there's no way to visit Isser tonight, presumably until tomorrow night.

As the summoning circle at Surdak's feet began to spread continuously, magic runes continued to light up, and a void gate appeared in Surdak.

Surdak smiled wryly, he had hundreds of subordinates, and he still had to do this kind of coolie labor.

As he thought so, he slung a bundle of grass over his shoulders and rushed into the Void Gate with his head slightly bowed......

……

When the darkness of the night was lifted by the dawn, the veterans of the cavalry battalion stationed in the Sweetwater Oasis suddenly found that the large amount of grain and grass and the tents piled up like hills in the camp that were the most inconvenient to carry in the camp had all disappeared.
