The barbarians, the humanoid species that has existed on the continent for the longest time, have not come out of the jungle because they lack the necessary intelligence, and for hundreds of thousands of years they have used simple and primitive tools and have held their territory, except for a few migrations that nature has forced them to make, and these beings themselves are very nostalgic for their homeland. The barbarians have no taboo against all meat, especially love raw food, eating habits and living environment allow them to have a strong physique, almost every adult barbarian man, is equivalent to a first-class warrior of human beings.

Barbarians who do not have the consciousness of pregnancy are often very numerous, a tribe can reach thousands of people, and they are divided into ranks according to the degree of physical fitness, and the tribal leaders of the barbarians are generally extremely brave warriors. Although the Misty Forest is vast and has a radius of thousands of kilometers, the food in the territory is limited after all, so the barbarians have always maintained between seven or eight tribes, occupying the south of the Luyin River to hunt for a living, and they do not dare to enter the deepest part of the forest, because they know that it is a paradise for demonic beasts (demonic beasts are beasts with certain magical attributes, not demons).

No one could figure out how the barbarians could suddenly reach the North Shore and start infesting humanity, which was unprecedented, and of course Brian didn't have time to study the cause now, and he had only one purpose - to save people.

Adela and Godwin led four recruits to reclaim the lumberyard, leaving Brian reassured, and even more worried as time went on. Brian even regretted letting Adela take the risk, after all, Roy and the others were old and cruel, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers, so wouldn't it be a tiger's mouth to let him hand over the territory with a lot of money?

Brian has been asking the members of the outlaw team to conduct intensive training in the morning and evening, and he has the intention of building a special team with strong combat effectiveness to deal with future crises, but the team still lacks the necessary new members, no assassins to scout as scouts, no archers with accurate archery to carry out long-range lethal attacks, and not enough medical officers and mages, so he can only let Bourne recharge first.

Five hundred meters from the lumber yard, Steinbell joined the team and led the group down the dirt road into the dense forest, reporting the situation at the lumber yard.

"Lord Viscount, the situation is very bad, it is estimated that there are at least forty or more barbarians in the lumberyard, and before we have time to see how many and how they are distributed, we were ambushed. At the entrance, there were barbarian ambushes, and as soon as we passed yesterday, we were caught off guard, although we killed a few of them, but they were all hung up, and after escaping, they let the green harrier send a message to help. Steinbell described it briefly.

The most seriously injured recruit, the leather armor has been completely torn, there is a long wound on his back, deep bones, blood almost soaked the entire back, the huge pain makes his breathing heavy and moans from time to time, I am afraid that his life will be in danger. Brian ordered: "Julian bring the wound medicine and quickly redress the wound, and Byrne quickly release the healing technique to help relieve his pain." ”

Byrne stepped forward and said, "I don't know how to heal, only hibernation, which can put him into a dormant state." ”

"Whether it's dormancy or not, the wound will heal faster, and he can stay in pain and can't sleep. ”

Byrne recited the incantation, and with a faint light from his right hand, pressed it on the wounded soldier's head, and after about a minute, the recruit closed his eyes and fell asleep, breathing much more slowly.

"Adela, how are they?" asked Brian.

"I don't know, it doesn't seem like there's much hope of them alive. Steinbell replied sadly.

"You stay and look after him. Brian pointed to another soldier who had been lightly wounded, "The others came with me from this side of the woods to see what was going on at the lumberyard." ”

A group of men tied their horses and followed the viscount through the woods to the lumberyard. Although the barbarians had some tactics, they only laid an ambush at the entrance of the road, and other places did not consider it, Brian and the others easily approached the destination, but unfortunately there was no higher terrain nearby, and they could only see a few barbarians wandering near the tool room not far away, and then rows of large logs blocked the view, and they could not observe the whole picture.

"Scouting Eye, Bourne. Brian whispered, "Draw the situation on the ground when you're done." ”

Byrne let out a scouting eye, and drew a rough map with branches as he observed, most of the barbarians were gathered on the flat ground in front of Bartlett's big house, and a group of people surrounded the barn, in addition to the small number of barbarians scattered around the wooden field, which looked like they were patrolling and sentry.

"Any thoughts?" said Brian, asking for everyone's opinions.

"Set fire, use fire to drive them away. Emma said.

"No, if our people are still alive, setting fire to them will burn them. ”

"If there is an attack at night, the barbarians will also sleep. ”

Brian still shook his head: "Our combat effectiveness is not weak, and it is possible to win by attacking while the chaos is taking advantage of the chaos, but they are very numerous, and there will definitely be a lot of casualties, and I don't want to have any more losses." What other weaknesses do the barbarians have?"

"I remembered that my grandfather had said that the barbarian was so poor at the water that he could hardly swim, and that when he used to hunt, he jumped into the river to avoid the pursuit of the barbarians. Rossetti said, "Why don't we use the Luyin River to deal with these bastards." ”

"It's a good idea, let's grab a transport boat from Kiba and cross it to the river, and they'll definitely chase it in a small boat, and then everyone will release rockets together, force them to dive into the water, drown most of them first, and the rest will be easy. Brian excitedly said, "Bourne, check the docks and the location of the boats, and mark them on the map." ”

Byrne looked at it with his magical eyes, drew a small circle on the ground, and said, "This is the dock, two empty transport ships and a dozen canoes, all of which are near the dock, but there are barbarians guarding nearby, seven in all. ”

"Seven is no problem, let's wait until it gets dark and act, everyone take off their iron armor, take their bows and shields, swim through the water, kill all the guards as fast as possible, and seize the ships. Brian made up his mind, "Everyone eat something to replenish their strength, as long as we row to the center of the river before the barbarians arrive, I think we will win a complete victory." Oh yes, Adams prepared the fire medium, wrapped it tightly in oiled paper, and don't get into the water. ”

"What if they have rockets too?" Byrne worried.

"What do you do as a water mage? If so, your mission is to fire water bombs to extinguish fires. Brian patted Byrne on the shoulder.

"Strictly speaking, I'm supposed to be a support magician. Byrne muttered.
