The herdsmen had just put the multigrain cake on the iron chisel and inserted it next to the bonfire, trying to use the temperature of the bonfire to bake the multigrain cake to a charred color.

He threw a handful of washed wild vegetables with roots into the iron pot, then squatted aside, nailed a marmot from the field to the wooden board, peeled off the skin with a knife, ran to the river to wash the internal organs, and threw all the bone-in meat into the soup pot, and finally added a little salt.

Two herders were responsible for tending the horses by the river, and the other two carried stretchers to the fire.

Several herdsmen sat together with gloomy expressions, as if they wanted to wake up the herdsmen on the stretcher, but after tossing for a long time, they found nothing, even if the water was fed, it flowed out of the corners of their mouths.

They saw a cavalry battalion not far away, probably there were a lot of troops and caravans passing on this road, and a few herdsmen didn't seem to care.

Surdak and Selena led Signa by the hand, and a guide followed him.

Several herders who were about to eat dinner quickly stood up and saluted Surdak awkwardly.

Surdak waved his hand, walked over to the injured herdsman, saw him lying unconscious on a stretcher, and then squatted down and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"The horses were frightened, Jeb rode forward and tried to rush to the front, stopping the head horse, but accidentally got caught on the rope, accidentally fell off the horse, and was trampled by the horses behind him and broke his ribs, and we wanted to send him back to the village." The herdsman spoke.

Then he added: "The horses can't run anymore and need to rest and drink, so let's stop here!" ”

The herdsmen who spoke did not speak well in Chinese, and their speech was mixed with some incomprehensible local indigenous languages, but fortunately, there was a guide on the side to help translate.

Surdak spoke the imperial Chinese, but these herders did not have a hard time.

I felt that the injured herdsman was sleeping, breathing very weakly, and his face was as white as a piece of paper.

"Can I see his injuries?" Surdak asked the herders.

At this time, several herders came over and stared at Surdak, Selena and Signa with a wary expression, and one of them spoke to the guide in the local indigenous language before saying:

"Of course, you see, this is the rib that was trampled by the horse."

As he spoke, he lifted the blanket covering the injured herdsman's body, and saw that the injured herdsman's chest was a large dent in the fist of the horse's hooves, as if his ribs had collapsed after this section, and his chest was full of bruises and purple marks.

Surdak frowned slightly, originally thought it was just a fracture or something, but he didn't expect that the ribs in his chest were stepped on and broken, not to mention, the broken ribs were probably inserted backwards into the organs of the injured person, which would lead to the injury in such eyes.

The herdsman's wound was smeared with some paste-like green herbs, which did not seem to help the injury.

"He was badly wounded, and he broke several ...... ribs"

The herdsman said this, knowing how badly his companion was injured, but he could not help much, and several other herdsmen were silent.

Surdak asked, "Are you from the village in front?" ”

The herdsmen nodded their heads at the same time, like a few goofy geese, and said in a rambling voice, "We are all in the village of Desowoz, and the barons of the House of Goss hired us to herd their horses. ”

Surdak glanced at Selena and asked, "Are there any wizards in your village?" ”

The herdsmen shook their heads at the same time.

Selena blinked, and couldn't help but glance at the herdsmen twice.

As he spoke, a ball of holy light had gathered in Surdak's palm, as if a warm ball of light was spreading outward in Surdak's palm, and several herdsmen couldn't help but widen their eyes, staring at the light in Surdak's hand, their eyes changed from surprise to shock.

One herdsman couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you a priest in the temple?" ”

"No, I'm just a knight who leads an army through this place, and I just happen to know some healing." Surdak placed his hand over the dented wound of the injured herdsman, who seemed to feel a trace of pain in his sleep, and a struggling expression appeared on his face.

"His ribs are broken, and the broken ribs are likely to have pierced into the organs, and I'm going to cut a wound on him now and remove the broken ribs." Surdak paused and said to several herders watching.

After saying that, from the big. A skinning knife was found on his leg, only rubbed twice on the belt, and without hesitation, he slashed the depression in the herdsman's chest, fortunately the ribs did not hurt the heart, but inserted into the lobes of the lungs, and there were as many as three, Surdak pulled out three broken ribs from the chest cavity with his hands, and blood suddenly gushed out of the wound, and then the herdsman's breathing also stopped.

Surdak hurriedly cast the Holy Light Technique again to forcibly heal the herdsmen's wounds......

At the same time, Surdak uttered the phrases 'Nef'...... 'Sol'...... 'Ith'.

In the dark night, I saw a magical halo flash in his throat.

He cooperated with the hand-drawn magic pattern circle on his chest, which was a rune language composed of a set of runes.

Among the magic crystals left by Lord Johannes the Red Dragon, it was a very simple rune language, and it took Surdak nearly a month to master its drawing method, and the success rate of each spell was only about 30%, but fortunately, it was a success this time.

This runic word, known as 'Radiance', allows people to gain a series of positive effects such as strengthening themselves, increasing their vitality, transferring 15% of their damage to their arms, and increasing their magic resistance.

Seeing a magical power poured into the herdsman's body, the herdsman's breathing suddenly became smoother, and his pale face became ruddy, and Surdak breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the first time he had combined the runes into more powerful rune words, which were used in a way that inspired the Holy Seal, and this power fell on the herdsmen as he wished.

This magical power lasted less than a quarter of an hour before dissipating silently.

During the whole treatment process, the five herders gathered around, watched Surdak carefully pull his companion back from the hands of death, saw his chest recover, the wound quickly scabbed, and then wrapped in a hemostatic bandage, and finally his breathing became stable.

Surdak took out a handkerchief and wiped the slimy blood on his hands, and said to several herders: "His injuries have stabilized temporarily, and it is not suitable to move at the moment, and he needs to be observed overnight, and if his condition does not deteriorate tomorrow morning, his life will be saved." ”

With that, he stood up, and without waiting for the herdsmen to say something of thanks, he turned and returned to the cavalry battalion.

The five herdsmen were stunned by the way Surdak saved people, and they were already speechless in astonishment when they watched Surdak pull out the broken ribs from their companions' chests with their bloody hands, and they forgot to say some words of thanks for a moment as they watched Surdak leave.

Only the horses by the river neighed.

Selena returns to the tent with Signa.

Getting into the tent, Selena asked Surdak, "What did you just perform?" The magic seemed to be very powerful. ”

Surdak tried to draw a simple rune in front of him again, a faint magic halo rose, and then injected into Surdak's body, he took a deep breath, as if feeling inexplicable power, and explained to Selena: "It is said to be the knight's holy seal, I realized it, it feels good, but the effect lasts a little shorter!" However, when used in battle, it can instantly increase people's strength! ”

Signa glanced up at Surdak, the look in her eyes complicated.

Surdak only stayed in the tent for a while, and when he saw Selena spreading out her leather mattress in the tent, Surdak said:

"You guys go to bed early, I'll go to the camp to patrol again, the recruits in the cavalry battalion have no experience in the wilderness, we can't make any mistakes in the White Forest plane, I don't want to lead them back in a gloomy way not long after I got out of Wilkes."

Selena knew that Surdak still needed to get along with the cavalry battalion recently, after all, his cavalry battalion had not been formed for a long time, and many things had not yet been formed.

Selena yawned, helped Signa lay out the blanket, and said to Surdak, "You should rest early, too." ”

……

A silver thread lit up on the horizon, and the dawn of dawn spread across the meadow.

The leaves of the wild grass are covered with dewdrops, which appear crystal clear in the sun.

Walking among the grass, the leather boots tossed the blades of grass, and the dew drops burst between the grass, and the trouser legs were soon wet.

The horses were still grazing on the slopes, and several herdsmen not far away surrounded the injured herdsman in a small tent, watching him wake up from his slumber, open his eyes and ask his companions for water, and several herdsmen cheered in unison.

"It's a miracle, Jeb was so badly injured, it only took one night to heal, I was going to take Jeb back to the village while he still had a breath, so that he could take one last look at his family, but I didn't expect to rush to the river, meet this baron, and actually heal Jeb's injury." A herder chatters over and over again, and his mouth speaks an indigenous language.

Another herdsman poured a little water out of a clay pot, fed it into the injured herdsman's mouth with a clay bowl, and casually asked:

"Shall we thank the Baron again?"

The nagging old herdsman looked up and said, "This is necessary, which of you will go with me?" ”

A few herdsmen, you look at me, I look at you.

"I'll go with you!"

One of the tall, young and lanky herders said.

……

The two herdsmen stood outside the cavalry camp and thanked Surdak repeatedly.

After dawn, Surdak could see their faces clearly, the two herdsmen's complexion was as yellow as beeswax, the interpupillary distance of their eyes was slightly narrower than that of the Imperials, they had fine braids on their heads, but there were no special tattoos on their bodies, but it was clear that they should be natives of the White Forest Plane, the two herdsmen were dressed like beggars, but their bodies were very strong, and their open chest muscles were bulging.

They speak a lot of simple Greene Chinese, and when they are in a hurry to answer, the indigenous language can be spoken easily.

"Thank you, Lord Baron, for your help."

The older herder said, his face a little narrow and thin, with deep wrinkles.

Surdak had planned to make a round out of the camp, but when he came out of the camp, he met these two herdsmen who had come to thank him.

Surdak hurriedly beckoned the guide over and said to the two herdsmen: "It's not a big deal, it's just within my ability, whether I can wake up or not depends on his own will to survive, I have treated many serious injuries like him, some people have come back to life, some people have died, and the help I can give is still very limited." ”

The older herdsman put his hands on his shoulders, bowed his head to Surdak, and said, "You have helped us, but we have no decent gifts for you, if the itinerary is convenient, please stop by our village, which is not far north from here, and it is called Desowoz." ”

Surdak turned his head to look at the guide and confirmed with him, "Looks like we're going to pass through there?" ”

"Yes, Lord Baron Surdak!" The guide replied respectfully.

It was as if Surdak had saved a herdsman, and even the tone of the two guides changed, and the gaze in their eyes changed from strange to full of kindness.

Breakfast was still monotonous and boring, but it was still delicious for the recruits in the cavalry camp.

There were no trees to be found around this meadow, and the cavalry were not in the habit of collecting horse manure, but fortunately, before Surdak's trip, some 'fire-gathering' scrolls were prepared, and although the cost of cooking was a little higher, it was convenient and fast.

After breakfast, the cavalry battalion packed up its camp and set out in procession.

The herdsmen also followed the cavalry battalion with their horses.

They tied the wounded herdsmen to their horses and drove them to the north

Along the way, the five herdsmen showed the Surdak cavalry what 'horsemanship' was, riding on sleek horses, their bodies almost integrated with the horse's back, and they could return to the horse's back no matter how exaggerated the twist.

They can drive their horses to charge twice as fast as their cavalry......

Or let the Gubo horses trot all the way, adjust the way the Gubo horses breathe, so that they don't get tired for as long as they run, according to the veterans of the cavalry battalion, this is the real 'horsemanship'.

In fact, Surdak didn't know any of this, he had been studying at the Knight Academy for nearly half a year, and he didn't know that 'horsemanship' contained these things.

In addition to the short whips, the herdsmen had only a long rope that hung around their waists, which was said to be used to lass horses.

Watching them throw ropes on the grass and throw them into the herd of horses at will, they can get a piece of Gubolai horse around the neck, this kind of ability is also the envy of this group of cavalry in the cavalry camp.

Almost watching a few herdsmen perform all the way, it was close to noon when the cavalry battalion rushed to the village of Desowats.
