Captain Gabri could feel the strong aura of Holy Light in the tent, and saw a mercenary with a bandage on his arm walking out of the tent with his head lowered. He quickly called the mercenary named Ed over and spoke for a moment.
After asking about the knife wound on his arm and some of Baron Suldak's treatment methods, Ed was very happy and whispered the entire treatment process.
For the Sea Giant Mercenary Group, this is really an unexpected blessing.
Since a few years ago, temple priests and combat priests have been withdrawing from the Green Empire's army. Now, it is difficult to find priests in the entire Green Empire. So much so that getting injured on the battlefield has become a very dangerous thing.
, in addition to simple bandaging and suturing, mainly relying on one's own physical strength to resist, magic potions and water magicians have gradually become luxurious treatment methods.
Captain Gabri never expected to have a noble knight with the Holy Light spell to help deal with the injured mercenaries after the war.
Suldak was so busy that he walked out of the tent very late, but in the blink of an eye he didn't know where he went.
For the first Sheriff of the Desolate Land, Captain Gabri always felt that he might still underestimate his strength. When they met for the first time and accepted employment, the mercenary group entered Wall Village and stood at the Paglos Pass.
When he saw the majestic dam upstream of Wall Village, when he saw the rows of newly built houses in the village, when he lit up his knight halo while fighting in the Sweetwater Oasis...
The bonfire beside the sweet pool has not been extinguished. Even if it is located above the wind outlet, you can still smell the pungent burnt smell. The bodies of more than a hundred thieves were reduced to ashes in the fire.
A group of female relatives sat silently by the campfire. Some of them had lived among bandits since childhood and were accustomed to a life of robbery. Some were nomads from the surrounding barren mountainous areas. They were snatched back by the bandits and became female slaves. Some were
They are village girls in the deserted land, and some women are said to have come to the Salva Province on the other side of the desert, and they move around with the bandits.
When there is plenty of food, they are female slaves. When there is famine, they become food for bandits. In the eyes of desert bandits, their value is not even as good as an old horse carrying goods.
There was no one at the cavalry camp to watch over them. Just 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 were trembling with fear, and some had expressions on their faces.
There was numbness, and some people's eyes were full of hatred. This was a desert, and it was cold winter. Without horses and supplies, there was no way to leave the Sweetwater Oasis.
As long as the horses and camels are supervised, there is no need to worry about anyone running away.
Many camels and horses were killed in this battle, so the dinner was not marching rations, but bone-in broth and chunks of horse meat.
The ogre sat next to the bonfire, not paying attention to the white-burned bones in the fire. He held up a slightly burnt horse leg, and from time to time the dagger cut a strip on it and threw it into his mouth, not caring at all.
Affected by the corpses in the fire, he ate with gusto, which scared the group of women next to the fire into silence for a while.
Captain Gabri found that he was an ogre who was willing to be reasonable. As long as he thought what you said was reasonable, he was willing to follow the rules.
The biggest gains from this battle in Surdak were war horses and camels. In addition, there was also some pasture and grain stored in the Sweet Water Oasis. The pasture was not much, but it was enough for several large stacks. The grain was very mixed and miscellaneous grains.
Mostly beans and beans.
There were only a few dozen bags of wheat flour, which was pitifully small for a bandit group that probably numbered close to two hundred people.
Every robber has some savings, but they don't keep all the money with them, so they didn't collect many gold coins from these robbers this time, and some of the money bags were used by mercenary groups during the battle.
The soldier put it into his pocket on the spot. Even so, there were more than fifty gold coins confiscated, and the veteran of the cavalry battalion also found a bag of gems in the tent of the bandit leader.
In addition to gold coins, more than 40 tents were seized. This kind of tent looks dirty and old, but it is very warm, and it is very simple to set up. There is no need for windproof ropes. This kind of old tent is better than the ones in the military camp.
Standard tents are much smaller, and the biggest advantage is that they are simple and convenient to set up.
It can be said that when the mercenary agreement was signed, in order to maximize profits, Captain Gabri raised the price of killing the bandit to five gold pieces. For this reason, he gave up many additional rights and interests to Surdak, including war horses and horses in the camp.
Those supplies, the money on the robber's possession, and even weapons and leather armor.
Most of the weapons used by bandits are scimitars, spears, and short bows that are easy to use on horseback. The spears and short bows used by the bandits are very ordinary, and are far inferior to the standard weapons of the guard camp, the knight's spear and the alloy bow.
This kind of second-hand weapons cannot be sold for much money in the flea market. However, those scimitars with an exaggerated arc are very popular among the nobles in the market.
A lot of tattered leather armor was seized. After cleaning the battlefield, the veterans sat in groups by the campfire. They took out knives and twine to repair the rough leather armor, and re-sewed the wounds made by the swords.
I couldn't wait to put it on, and it made the campfire very lively for a while.
At that time, Captain Gabri considered that he could not completely annihilate the bandits in the desert oasis, so he could only use wolf pack tactics in the desert to hunt the bandits in exchange for rewards. In this way, hunting heads for rewards would be more in line with the interests of the mercenary group.
Looking at it now, Captain Gabri made some miscalculations. The benefits of a battle are far more than a few hundred gold coins.
Baron Suldak was the big winner in the Battle of Sweetwater Oasis.
Among the mercenaries who were supposed to be on duty tonight, some of them were slightly injured and were arranged to rest by Captain Gabri. In the desert, you have to maintain your most basic physical fitness at all times. Once the overdraft is too severe, such a difficult environment
It was difficult to recover, so Captain Gabri did not let other mercenaries replace the injured mercenaries to stay on duty overnight.
He stood in the cold night wind.
A poplar forest to the north of Sweetwater Oasis looks shadowy under the cold light of a crescent moon.
At this moment, he had an indescribable feeling. The whole night was like a pair of invisible hands, tightly embracing the sweet water oasis...
…
For Weilu, his body is at a certain critical point at this moment. As long as he takes that step, he can enter the ranks of the second-level powerhouse. But last time, in order to explore the details of Surdak, he gave up his best
Timing, now I can only wait for the opportunity to break into that level again.
The cold wind blew through the treetops, and the dead branches covered with rime trembled slightly. Countless ice crystal snow flakes condensed from hexahedrons flew down from the forest, like a wisp of residual snow floating in the air.
By the campfire, the female slaves sobbed softly, the charcoal crackled in the fire, and several horses in the herd snorted impatiently...
These subtle sounds broke into Velu's ears, and he tried to discern whether there was any danger lurking in these sounds.
In the desert oasis, only a few veterans of the cavalry battalion were guarding the horses.
After the big ogre roasted a whole horse leg, he sat next to the horses with the steaming leg and feasted on it. His rude move scared some of the horses nearby and they didn't even dare to eat from the trough.
He couldn't hide from the fodder inside, so he could only scratch the sand uneasily and point his butt towards the ogre. If he dared to get close, he would be kicked hard.
The honest smile on the ogre's face is full of joy for his friends, but it is like a nightmare for the enemies who fear him.
I don’t know where Surdak found such a partner.
Suldak and the taciturn woman were sitting on the haystacks, seemingly admiring the crescent moon in the night sky.
Such a cold night, it is quite emotional.
The only bad thing is that it's a little cold on the haystack.
Weru felt that Surdak's personality was very different from before. He was too calm before and would not have this kind of mood.
In today's battle, Viru was also carefully observing Surdak. Although he chose to take the path of a knight after the first turn, his basic fighting method was still a shield warrior holding a shield and swinging a sword to slash. However, he also understood the knight's aura.
It seems that if there is a chance to advance to the level 2 powerhouse in the future, he will also become a great knight, and his road to defense will be further and further away.
However, there is one thing that makes Veru puzzled. With the personal strength shown by Surdak, he should be at least a first-level high-level knight. With his current financial strength, it is impossible for this level to be without a magic pattern construct.
, even his follower has a top-level magic pattern structure. He actually wears salamander leather armor without any magic patterns, which is really low-key...
The clear light of the cold moon shone on the vast white desert. Weiru closed his eyes and broke into the dreamland where countless black mist poured out...
…
Nanai warrior Andrew was surrounded by a group of veterans of the cavalry battalion, sitting in front of a campfire and telling how to deal with the battle. For Andrew, who had awakened the soul of the berserker, the best defense method was to attack. He
Now we are instilling these views in these veterans.
Of course the veterans will not 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 to attack without considering defense. In team cooperation, offense can ensure the safety of the companions around him. Veterans of the cavalry battalion hold a different view.
.
Although everyone has different opinions, these veterans are all impressed by the bravery of the Nanai warrior Andrew.
Especially, he is also a construct warrior. The heavy armor made of black iron makes it impossible for opponents to attack. Veterans believe that there are two main reasons why Andrew is so brave:
First, it is the powerful defensive ability of his top-notch magic pattern structure.
Second, his superior, Baron Surdak, has powerful healing power, which allows him to have no worries at all during battle.
As for the veterans’ views, Andrew said he did not agree...
…
Darkness has completely enveloped Sweetwater Oasis.
Selina sat up from the haystack and said to Suldak, who was a little worried about the mountains of hay next to her: "You can find your contract partner to open the door of summoning. This area has been occupied by me.
With the 'Night Barrier' covering you, no one here at the oasis will see you activate the magic circle."
Selena had a strong dark aura all over her body. She seemed to have become another person at this time, with extremely strong and confident eyes, and the look she looked at Suldak was also full of aggression.
“You also think I should move all this hay?” Suldak seemed not to notice Selina’s change, bending down and looking at the haystack.
Selena pursed her lips and smiled.
She stood aside, with a layer of black mist surrounding her body, and said to Suldak: "Of course, you have so many horses and camels now, and you consume a lot of fodder every day. Of course, you have to hoard these fodder. You
Now that we don’t have carriages and logistics groups, we can’t bring all the fodder with us, and it’s impossible to keep it here. Of course, we have to transport some of the things that can’t be taken away first.”
Suldak was a little worried and muttered to himself: "There are so many, I may have to move them all night."
Selena smiled softly and said: "That's your business. I can't help you. By the way, I can't accompany you here anymore. I want to go talk to those women. Maybe they want to talk to them at this time."
A reliance."
Suldak gently rubbed his forehead and said: "You have developed those kobold slaves, isn't it enough?"
Selena nodded very seriously and said: "Of course, the more and more devout believers of the goddess, the better..."
With that said, she walked towards the fire beside the sweet pool not far away. There was obviously light coming from the fire, but after Selena took a few steps, her body actually disappeared from Suldak's sight.
He was thinking about how to comfort Aphrodite.
Opening the summoning magic circle so frequently is also a big burden for the succubus.
But the most important thing at the moment is to transport all the things that cannot be taken away. This time we captured some war horses and camels. They can also carry some of the forage. After two days of rest in the Sweetwater Oasis, some will be consumed. The rest
Just had to move to Sulfur Camp.
It seems that I won’t be able to visit Israel tonight, and I’ll probably have to wait until tomorrow night.
As the summoning circle at Surdak's feet began to spread continuously, magic runes continued to light up, and a gate to the void appeared in Surdak.
Suldak smiled bitterly. He had hundreds of subordinates, but he still had to do this kind of transportation.
While thinking this, he put a bundle of grass on his shoulders, lowered his head slightly and rushed into the Void Gate...
…
When the dark veil of darkness was lifted little by little by dawn, the veterans of the cavalry battalion stationed at Sweetwater Oasis suddenly discovered that the large amounts of food and grass in the camp that were most inconvenient to carry and the tents piled up like a hill had all disappeared.
