1441. Night talk by the river
Before meeting Surdak, Emir. Captain Mason never imagined that a paladin would be of such a great use to a legion.
As the priests and battle priests of the Temple of Liberty left the Roland continent one after another, the army of the Grimm Empire was like being restrained by an invisible hand, and the Constructed Knights who originally crisscrossed the entire continent could now only retreat to the empire itself.
In the past few years, there have been frequent plane wars in the Grimm Empire, and the Knights of Formation are also going back and forth between the Grimm Empire.
The healing potion was hyped to a sky-high price, the water magician was gradually pushed to the altar, and the first aid technique became a compulsory course in the war colleges everywhere, even so, the battle damage caused by serious injuries on the battlefield is still the biggest problem for the various Constructed Knights.
Many knights are afraid of getting hurt, so their combat strength is not as good as before.
Very often, the emir. Captain Mason was powerless to do anything about it, so he could only get his knights to change to better armor.
Many of the Monster Leather Monster Fabrics were abandoned by the Knights, or some Knights simply wore double armor......
At the moment when first aid is prevalent, Surdak, the paladin, appears on the battlefield, and the effect of the holy light technique is infinitely amplified in an instant, especially in this cruel battlefield with heavy casualties, the appearance of a paladin means that countless seriously injured knights can be rescued.
Surdak did just that, and in addition to the Holy Light, he also used the power of sacrifice.
More than 200 Constructed Knights are blessed with the blessing of the 'Divine Blessed Body' after being treated by Surdak, and these Constructed Knights are now lying on the grass on the banks of the Buruin River.
There was a canopy above them that covered half of the starry sky, and many of the costumed knights were lying on stretchers, with a view of the sparkling Bouine River.
Emir. Captain Mason had been busy here until late, and he didn't know how many people he had introduced the commander of the Western Route Army, Lord Surdak.
……
The blood on his arms had turned Surdak's linen shirt into a bloody garment, and his blood-soaked sleeves had hardened under the campfire.
Andrew, Tygo and Gullit sat not far from his tent, chatting around a campfire.
Tego was grooming the frostwolf Bernita's silver hair, and a half-roasted leg of lamb was placed in front of Berita, who looked like he was full.
When Andrew rested, he never lacked a whetstone, and he rubbed the edge of the butcher's axe vigorously.
His butcher's axe is just a imitation of excellent quality, not an epic magic weapon, but after so many battles, the blood soaked in the pattern on the big axe has given this big axe a very unique pattern, and ordinary people can smell the strong smell of blood on the sharp axe from a distance of more than ten meters.
Andrew said he had to put the butcher's axe under his head every night to sleep peacefully.
Wolf Knight Tiger said very seriously that he had to hug Benita every night to sleep......
The two-headed ogre brothers say that one of them will sleep soundly in the first half of the night, and the other in the second half of the night, even when they are at home, they will maintain this habit, because the young lads of Wall Village are always trying to steal his yellow sheep.
Surdak dragged his tired body over and sat between them with his hand stretched out to bake the fire.
It's not cold this season, he just wants to dry the blood off his sleeve.
"Why don't you wash it?"
At this time, it is estimated that only Andrew dares to ask such a question.
Surdak lay back, looking up at the starry sky half-obscured by the clouds, and it is said that many astrologers were able to identify their location with the help of the astrological charts.
"I guess I'll be busy in a while, so I'll take a break first." Surdak said.
Gulit handed him the skewer with the barbecue in his hand and asked, "Would you like to eat something?" ”
Surdak shook his head and said with a smile: "I just drank a little cereal porridge with a bottle of spiritual power potion, that taste is really amazing......"
The two-headed ogre brother thought about it seriously, no matter who the two of them really had never eaten like this, and suddenly became interested.
Andrew, however, came to his senses and leaned over to Surdak's side and whispered, "Did you get that batch of magic potions back?" ”
Surdak nodded.
"Why do you want to give us three hundred bottles of the First Knights this time......" Andrew the Lion said widely.
"There aren't that many in total, but it's okay to give you a hundred bottles, and the Second Constructed Knights will have so many quotas, and I'll put the rest on the merit exchange list a little bit." Surdak said as he pondered. "By the way, this battle on the Brúin River reminds me of one thing!"
All three looked at Surdak at the same time.
"What?"
Surdak stretched his arms again, his bones making a caka sound.
"How about what if I go to the aboriginal tribe north of Moyun Ridge and recruit some great witches to join my lord legion?" Surdak said.
It's not out of luck that he said this, Andrew himself is a native of the Nanai tribe, the two-headed ogre is from the ogre tribe, and the wolf knight Tiger is also from the wolf orc tribe, so Surdak wants to hear the opinions of several of them.
Andrew didn't think about it, so he shook his head and vetoed: "I only ask the great witches to come and help you, I guess you can't invite it." ”
Surdak looked over in surprise.
Andrew then explained: "You don't know these aboriginal tribes, these big witches are also nobles in the tribe, they live a very nourishing life in the tribe, they eat and drink without worry, and they are surrounded by women, why would people come to your army to work for you!" ”
Although this statement was a little rough, it made Surdak unable to refute it.
"So what do you think is more feasible?"
"I don't know." Andrew spread his hands and said irresponsibly.
He just didn't think it would work, but there wasn't a good way to solve the problem either.
Surdak patted his forehead.
The aboriginal tribes have not broken their inheritance, and the elder-level witches of the tribe all preside over the sacrificial rituals, and if they are brought to the army, Surdak feels that the combat power of these constructed knights and ant cavalry can be at least improved by one level.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Tiger Tiger, the wolf knight beside him, say:
"If we go the way of the orcs, then convince their entire tribe to form a strategic alliance with us."
"For example, the orc tribe, only the Payin Plateau is divided into wolf people, lion and tiger people, centaur people, etc., if it is the eastern continent, there are also cat people, rabbit people, and so on."
"The situation in which these tribes exist is basically an alliance, as long as there is a war in one place, then all the tribes must send warriors to fight."
The words of the wolf knight Tego suddenly opened a window in Surdak's heart, it turned out that he could still do this!
At this time, even the two-headed ogre Gulitham came up and said:
"In fact, the previous orc tribe was even more powerful than it is now, strictly speaking, almost all of our ogre clan, cyclops clan, and Peng Bird clan have joined the orc tribe, but now they are separated without fighting."
"Speaking of which, you still have a relationship with Tiger...... Andrew laughed.
Gulit teed his eyes like brass bells and scolded Andrew: "What I want to express is that the leader is thinking about this matter is very feasible, if he can invite those aboriginal tribe witches, then he won't have to be so busy"
Surdak patted Tygo on the shoulder with his bloodied hand and said with satisfaction: "It's worth trying, at least for now we have common enemies, and we can't keep them stationed in Moyunling, otherwise it will be a big trouble to rush down." ”
"And with the existing strength of our Western Route Army alone, it is impossible to push the battlefield all the way to Moyun Ridge, and it is even more impossible for those aboriginal tribes in the northern mountains of Moyun Ridge, but we are united, this matter can really be considered carefully!"
Thinking of this, Surdak's mind was suddenly opened.
He began to discuss with the three people around him about forming a strategic alliance with the indigenous tribes.
……
It wasn't until the magician Basil took advantage of the darkness of the night and rode the magic handle down slowly that Surdak stopped the conversation.
The group of magicians who had come to Warsaw with the Surdak Lords' army were now almost all members of the reconnaissance team, and these magicians had long since adapted to the hard life of the army.
They have to do a lot of scouting every day, and many of the mages are dark and thin these days.
Basil came out with Surdak this time, mainly to scout the group of demon warriors who rushed in from Naroda, and to conduct a night reconnaissance at this late hour, also to determine the course of action tomorrow morning.
Arriving at the Brúin River, Surdak did not want to be always defeated by the emir. Captain Mason led the way.
"How's it going?"
Surdak couldn't help but ask when he saw Basil sitting down.
The magician Basil untied the water bladder, pulled out the wooden cork and took a sip of water, before he said: "If you explore west along the Brúin River, you can see a large number of demon legions, but these demon legions are almost all more than 3,000 people, probably because of the exploration of many tributaries of the Buruin River, which caused this group of evil spirits to disperse their army. ”
"That's good news for us, at least we can just eat an army of demons of this size!"
Surdak suddenly came to the spirit......
"And I've found that each of the demon legions is entangled with a Constructed Knights nearby, and in the middle of the Bruin River alone, I found at least eight of them, and although they look embarrassed, they are not as miserable as this one......"
The last sentence, Basil spoke quietly.
It's really miserable enough, there is no knight in the entire Constructed Knights who is not injured.
Surdak knew that these Knights were all troops of the Eastern Route Army, and the lords of Bena City believed in Edmund very much. The Marquis Arnold could bring them good luck and made the final bet.
For Duke Newman, it was actually a big gamble, and it was a game that he spent more than eight years on.
I had pushed most of my chips into the pot, and now the last few hands are about to be won or lost......
Surdak's Western Route Army also became a bargaining chip, and thinking of this, Surdak said:
"Prepare, Andrew, tomorrow morning sweep all the way west along the Bruin River, clean up all the evil spirits encountered, Tygo's second Constructed Knights will set off with you, you have to deal with those Constructed Knights as much as possible, this group of Constructed Knights is estimated to be the last family of many noble lords, we can't let them be tossed by these evil spirits here."
"Understand ......"
Andrew said with his chest puffed out.
Actually, he was a little greedy for those giant soldier ants......
With this group of giant soldiers at the forefront, the power advantage that the demon warriors possess is instantly gone.
"Next!"
Surdak threw a glass tube at Basil.
The magician hurriedly grabbed it, then shook it gently with his hand, and saw a few bubbles of the blue transparent liquid in the glass tube, so he pulled out the cork and sniffed it under his nose.
Then he said excitedly:
"That's good stuff!"
He shook the potion, moistened his lips with the blue liquid, and very stingily sealed the lid of the bottle, and took out a small magic sealing box from his magic waist bag and kept it in the sealing box.
Seeing Surdak and the others looking at him in amazement, he explained:
"I remember when I was a student at the Academy of Magic, I was a magic apprentice at that time, and I received a monthly stipend from the Magic Guild, and I had to memorize the magic rune table every day to cope with the monthly exams, and at that time all the stipends had to be saved up so that I could buy a bottle of this potion before I graduated."
"What else can it do other than relieve mental fatigue?" Surdak asked curiously.
Basil laughed and said, "It's not used to relieve mental fatigue, only a great lord like you would drink mental power potions so extravagantly, even if we are magicians, we are only willing to open a bottle when the magic experiment is the most critical." ”
"This thing is as special as the Lion King's Power Potion, as long as a ninth-level magic apprentice drinks it, he can see that he has broken through the bottleneck and become a first-level mage, as long as the effect of the potion does not disappear, this state will continue to be maintained, and for a magic apprentice, it will be considered a smooth promotion to become a magician."
"So this is a magic potion to assist in promotion, but it can only temporarily increase mental power."
Surdak, who had never taken psychic potions seriously, finally knew why Lance, the Magic Guild of Highlandsa City, had such a proposal......
"I see! No wonder Lance wanted to make a few more bottles. He muttered to himself.
The magician Basil glanced at Surdak in surprise, but he couldn't help asking.
Andrew and Gullitham also looked at each other.
"We didn't think this thing would be so precious, but I still have the same opinion before, no potion is as good as a healing potion right now......"
Andrew said loudly.
