687. Riding

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

The water in the iron pot boiled loudly. He threw a handful of washed wild vegetables with roots into the iron pot, then squatted aside and nailed a marmot caught from the field to the iron pot.

On the wooden board, I peeled off the skin with a knife, ran to the river and briefly cleaned the internal organs, and threw all the meat and bones into the soup pot, and finally added a little salt.

Two herdsmen were responsible for taking care of the horses by the river, and two other herdsmen carried the stretcher to the fire.

Several herdsmen sat together with gloomy expressions, as if they wanted to wake up the herdsmen on the stretchers. After struggling for a long time, they got nothing. Even the water they fed flowed out from the corners of their mouths.

They saw a cavalry camp not far away. There were probably many armies and caravans passing by on this road, but the few herdsmen didn't seem to care.

Suldak and Selina walked over holding Xigna, and a guide followed behind him.

Several herdsmen who were about to have dinner quickly stood up and bowed awkwardly to Surdak.

Surdak waved his hand and walked to the injured herdsman. Seeing him lying unconscious on the stretcher, he squatted down and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"The horses were frightened. Jeb rode forward and tried to rush to the front to stop the leading horse, but he was accidentally caught on the rope and fell off the horse. He was trampled by the horses behind and broke his ribs. We wanted to send him back.

In the village." the herdsman said.

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

The herdsmen who spoke Imperial were not good at it, and their words were mixed with some local aboriginal language that they couldn't understand. Fortunately, there was a guide nearby to help translate.

The imperial language that Surdak spoke was not difficult for the herdsmen to hear.

The injured herdsman was sleeping, his breathing was very weak, and his face was as white as a piece of paper.

"Can you see his injuries?" Suldak asked the herdsman.

At this time, several herdsmen came over and stared at Surdak, Selina and Xigna with wary faces. One of the herdsmen talked a few words with the guide in the local indigenous language, and then said:

"Of course, please see, this is the rib that was broken by the horse."

As he said that, he lifted the blanket covering the injured herdsman and saw that the chest of the injured herdsman was trampled by the horse's hooves and had a fist-sized dent. It seemed that the back of the ribs had collapsed, and the chest was full of bruises and purple marks.

Surdak frowned slightly. He originally thought it was just a fracture or something, but he didn't expect that the ribs on his chest were stepped on and broken. The broken ribs were probably inserted into the injured person's organs in reverse, which caused the injuries in his eyes.

.

The herdsman smeared some paste-like green herbs on the wound, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the injury.

"He was seriously injured, several ribs were broken..."

The herdsman said this. He knew how badly his companion was injured, but he could not do much to help. Several other herdsmen were also silent beside him.

Surdak asked: "Are you from the village in front?"

The herdsmen were like a few silly geese, nodding at the same time and talking in a flurry of words: "We are all from the village of Desovotz, and the Baron of the Goss family hired us to herd their horses."

Suldak glanced at Selena and asked: "Is there a wizard in your village?"

The herdsmen shook their heads at the same time.

Selina blinked her eyes and couldn't help but look at the herdsmen a few more times.

As he spoke, a ball of holy light had gathered in Surdak's palm. It was like a warm ball of light spreading outwards from Surdak's palm. Several herdsmen couldn't help but stare.

He closed his eyes and stared at the ball of light in Suldak's hand, his eyes changing from surprise to shock.

A herdsman couldn't help but exclaimed: "Are you the priest in the temple?"

"No, I'm just a knight leading an army passing by here. I happen to know some treatment methods." Surdak covered the injured herdsman's sunken wound with his hand. The injured herdsman seemed to feel a little pain in his sleep, and his face

A struggling expression appeared on his face.

"His ribs are broken, and the broken ribs may have penetrated into the organs. Now I am going to cut a wound on him and take out the broken ribs." Suldak stopped and said to several herders who were watching.

After saying that, he took out a skinning knife from his thigh, just rubbed it on the belt twice, and without hesitation, he cut the herdsman's chest with the knife, cutting open the dent. Fortunately, the ribs were not injured.

Instead of reaching the heart, it was inserted into the lungs, and there were as many as three. Suldak pulled out the three broken ribs from the chest with his hands. Blood suddenly spurted out from the wounds, and at this time the herdsman's breathing also followed.

stopped.

Surdak quickly used the Holy Light Technique again to forcibly heal the herdsmen's wounds...

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

In the dark night, a magical halo suddenly flashed across his throat.

He hand-drawn a magic pattern array on his chest, which is a rune language composed of a set of runes.

Among the magic crystals left by Lord Johannes the Red Dragon, there is a very simple rune language. It took Surdak nearly a month to master its drawing method. The success rate of each spell casting is only about 30%. However,

Fortunately, it was a success this time.

This rune language, known as "brilliance", can allow people to strengthen themselves, increase vitality, transfer 15% of damage to the arms, enhance magic resistance, and a series of beneficial effects.

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

This was the first time that he combined the runes into a more powerful rune language and used it to activate the holy seal. 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 entire treatment process, five herdsmen stood around, watching Suldak carefully pull his companion back from the hands of death, seeing his chest recover, the wound quickly scabbing, and then wrapping it with a hemostatic bandage before finally breathing

become calmer.

Suldak took out a handkerchief and wiped the sticky plasma on his hands, and said to several herdsmen: "His injury has stabilized temporarily. It is not suitable to move at the moment. He needs to be observed overnight until the condition has not worsened tomorrow morning."

If so, his life will be saved."

After saying that, he stood up and turned back to the cavalry camp without waiting for the herdsmen to say a word of thanks.

The five herdsmen were frightened by Suldak's way of rescuing people. They were so surprised that they could not speak when they saw Suldak pulling out the broken ribs from their companion's chest with his bloody hands.

Surdak left, forgetting to say any words of thanks for a moment.

Only the horses by the river neighed.

Selina took Xigna back to the tent.

After getting into the tent, Selena asked Suldak: "What did you cast just now? That magical power seems to be very powerful."

Surdak tried again to draw a simple rune in front of him. A faint magical halo rose and was then injected into Surdak's body. He took a deep breath, as if he felt

The inexplicable power explained to Selina: "It is said to be the Holy Seal of the Knight. I realized it. It feels good, but the effect lasts a little short! However, using it in battle can instantly increase a person's strength.

Son!"

Signa raised her head and glanced at Suldak, with a complicated expression in her eyes.

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

"You guys go to bed early. I will go to the camp for another inspection. The new recruits in the cavalry camp have no experience in living in the wild. We are in the Bailin plane and cannot make any mistakes. I don't want to just walk out of Wilkes

Soon, we will lead them back in despair."

Selina knew that Surdak still needed to get used to the cavalry battalion recently. After all, his cavalry battalion was newly established and he had not yet formed a habit of many things.

Selina yawned, helped Xigna lay out the blanket, and said to Suldak: "You should also go to bed early."



A silver line lit up on the horizon, and the light of dawn spread across the grassland.

The leaves of the weeds are covered with dewdrops, which appear crystal clear in the sunlight.

Walking among the grass, the leather boots stirred the grass leaves, and clusters of dewdrops exploded in the grass, and the trouser legs would soon get wet.

The horses were still grazing on the slopes. Several herdsmen not far away were surrounding the injured herdsman in a small tent. They watched him wake up from his sleep, open his eyes and ask for water from his companions. Several herdsmen

The herdsmen cheered in unison.

"This is really a miracle. Jeb was so seriously injured that he was cured in just one night. I originally planned to take Jeb back to the village while he was still breathing to give him one last look.

My family never expected to rush to the river, meet this Baron, and actually heal Jeb's injury." A herdsman babbled repeatedly, speaking in Aboriginal language.

Another herdsman poured some water from the clay pot, fed it into the mouth of the injured herdsman from the clay bowl, and asked casually:

"Should we thank the Baron again?"

The nagging old herdsman raised his head and said, "This is very necessary. Which of you will go with me?"

Some herdsmen, look at me and I look at you.

"I will go with you!"

One of the young and tall herdsmen said.



The two herdsmen stood outside the cavalry camp and expressed their gratitude to Suldak.

After daybreak, Surdak finally saw their faces clearly. The skin of the two herdsmen was as yellow as beeswax, and the distance between the pupils of their eyes was slightly narrower than that of the imperial people. They had fine braids on their heads, but their bodies were

There are no special tattoos, but it can be seen that they should be natives of the Bailin plane. The two herdsmen are dressed in rags like beggars, but their bodies are very strong, and their chest muscles are bulging.

They can speak a lot of simple Green Empire language, and when they are in a hurry to answer, they can speak the native language smoothly.

"Lord Baron, thank you for your help."

The older herdsman said that his face looked a bit long and thin, with deep wrinkles on his face.

Surdak originally planned to patrol outside the camp, but when he walked out of the camp, he met these two herdsmen who came specifically to express their thanks.

Surdak quickly called the guide over and said to the two herdsmen: "This is not a big deal. It is within my ability. Whether he can wake up depends on his own will to survive. I have treated many of them.

For such seriously injured people, some people have survived and some have died, so the help I can give is still very limited."

The elderly herdsman put his hands on his shoulders, bowed his head in greeting to Surdak, and said: "You have helped us, but we don't have any decent gifts for you. If it is convenient, please be sure to stop in our village."

Come on, our village is not far to the north, and it’s called Desovotz.”

Surdak turned to look at the guide and confirmed with him: "It seems that we are indeed going to pass there?"

"Yes, Lord Baron Suldak!" the guide replied respectfully.

It was as if Suldak had rescued a herdsman. Even the tone of the two guides changed, and the look in their eyes changed from strange to full of kindness.

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

There are no trees around this grassland, and the cavalry are not in the habit of collecting horse dung. Fortunately, before Suldak's trip, he prepared some scrolls of 'Fire Gathering Technique'. Although the cost of living and cooking is a bit higher

Son, fortunately it is convenient and quick.

After breakfast, the cavalry battalion packed up the camp and set off in formation.

The herdsmen also followed the cavalry battalion with their horses.

They tied the injured herdsmen to their horses and drove the horses towards the north.

Along the way, five herdsmen showed Surdak's cavalry what "riding skills" are. They rode on smooth horses, and their bodies were almost integrated with the horse's back, no matter how exaggerated twists they made.

, can get back on the horse again.

They can drive their horses to sprint twice as fast as the cavalry...

Or let the ancient Bolai horses trot all the way, adjust the ancient Bolai horses' breathing method, so that they can run for a long time without getting tired. According to the veterans in the cavalry camp, this is the real "riding skill".

In fact, Surdak didn't know this either. He had been studying in the Knight Academy for nearly half a year and had no idea that "riding" included these things.

In addition to short-handled long whips, several herdsmen only have a long rope hanging around their waists. It is said that this long rope is used to tether horses.

Watching them swing the rope on the grass and throw it casually into the group of horses, they can hit the neck of an ancient Bolan horse. This skill makes the cavalry in the cavalry camp very envious.

Almost watching a few herdsmen performing all the way, the cavalry battalion arrived at the village of Desowoz near noon.
