Chapter 1454 1441. Night Talk by the River
Before seeing Suldak, Captain Emile Mason never thought that a paladin would have such a great effect on an army.
As the priests and battle priests of the Temple of Liberty left the Roland Continent one after another, the Grimm Empire's army seemed to be restrained by an invisible big hand. The Constructed Knights, which originally spanned the entire continent, could only retreat to the Empire now. native.
In the past few years, the plane wars of the Grimm Empire have occurred frequently, and the Constructed Knights are also running back and forth between the various planes and the empire.
Healing potions have been fired at sky-high prices, water magicians have gradually been promoted to the altar, and first aid has become a compulsory course in war colleges everywhere. Even so, the battle damage caused by serious injuries on the battlefield is still the biggest problem for every knight order .
Many knights are afraid of being injured, so their combat power is not as good as before.
Many times, Captain Emil Mason seemed powerless to do this, and could only ask his knights to replace them with better armor.
Many magic-weave constructions made of Warcraft leather have also been abandoned by the construction knights, or some knights simply wear double-layer armor...
At the moment when the first aid technique is prevalent, when the paladin Suldak appeared on the battlefield, the effect of the holy light technique was infinitely magnified in an instant, especially in this cruel battlefield with heavy casualties, the appearance of a paladin meant that This means that countless seriously injured knights can be rescued.
Suldak did achieve this, and besides using the Holy Light technique, he also used the power of sacrifice.
More than 200 constructed knights will be blessed with the blessing of the "Divine Blessed Body" after being rescued by Suldak. These constructed knights are now lying on the Yinyin grass by the Buruin River.
There is a canopy above their heads that covers half of the starry sky. Many constructed knights are lying on stretchers, and they can see the sparkling Buruin River.
Captain Emile Mason has been busy here until very late. He didn't know how many people he had introduced to the commander of the West Route Army—Lord Suldak.
…
The blood stained on both arms has turned the linen shirt on Surdak into a starched **** garment, and the two blood-soaked sleeves have become stiff under the baking of the bonfire.
Andrew, Tago, and Gullitum sat not far from his tent, sitting and chatting around the campfire.
Tiger was combing the long silver hair of the Frostwolf Bonita, and a half-roasted leg of lamb was placed in front of Bonita, which seemed to be full.
When Andrew was resting, he never lacked a whetstone in his hand, and he vigorously polished the edge of the butcher's axe.
His butcher ax is just a high-quality imitation, not an epic magic weapon, but after so many battles, the blood soaked in the pattern on the big ax has given this big ax a unique pattern , Ordinary people can smell the strong smell of blood on the sharp ax more than ten meters away.
Andrew said he had to put the butcher's ax under his head every night to sleep peacefully.
Wolf Knight Tiger said very seriously that he has to hug Bonita every night to sleep...
The two-headed ogre brothers said that one of their brothers would sleep soundly in the first half of the night, and the other would sleep soundly in the second half of the night. Even when they were at home, they would maintain this habit, because the young boys in Wall Village always wanted to To steal his gazelle.
Suldak walked over with his tired body, sat between them and stretched out his hands to warm the fire.
This season is not cold, he just wants to dry the blood on his sleeves.
"Why don't you wash it?"
At a time like this, only Andrew would dare to ask such a question.
Suldak lay back and looked up at the starry sky half-covered by clouds. It is said that many astrologers can identify their own position with the star map.
"I guess I'll be busy in a while, so take a break first." Suldak said.
Gulitham handed over the skewer with the barbecue in his hand, and asked, "Do you want to eat something?"
Suldak shook his head and said with a smile, "I just drank a little oatmeal and paired it with a bottle of spiritual power potion. The taste is really amazing..."
The two-headed ogre brothers thought about it seriously, no matter who they were, they had never eaten like this before, and they immediately became interested.
Andrew came to his senses, leaned over to Suldak's side and asked in a low voice, "Did you get the batch of magic potions back?"
Suldak nodded.
"Why don't you give us 300 bottles of the First Constructed Knights this time..." Andrew Lion said with a big mouth.
"It's not that much in total, but it's okay to give you a hundred bottles, and the second construction knights will have so many quotas, and I will put the rest on the merit exchange list." Suldak said Thinking about it, he said. "By the way, this battle on the Buruin River reminded me of one thing!"
The three looked at Suldak at the same time.
"What?"
Suldak stretched his arms again, and his bones were making crackling sounds.
"What if I go to the aboriginal tribe in the north of Moyunling and recruit some big witches to join my lord army?" Suldak said.
What he said was not without purpose. Andrew himself was a native of the Nanai tribe, the two-headed ogre was from the ogre tribe, and the wolf knight Tiger was also from the wolf orc tribe, so Suldak wanted to hear how they were. people's opinions.
Without thinking about it, Andrew shook his head and vetoed: "I only ask the great witches to come over to help you, I guess you won't be able to invite them."
Seeing Suldak looking over in surprise.
Andrew went on to explain: "You don't know these aboriginal tribes. These big witches are considered nobles in the tribe. They live very well in the tribe, eat and drink well, and are surrounded by women. Why would they run away?" To serve your life in your army!"
Although these words were a little rough, they made it impossible for Suldak to refute.
"Then what do you think is more feasible?"
"I don't know." Andrew said irresponsibly, spreading his hands.
He just doesn't think it's going to work, but there's no good way to fix it.
Suldak patted his forehead.
Those aboriginal tribes have not broken the inheritance, and the elder-level witches in the tribe preside over the sacrificial ceremony. If they are brought into the army, Suldak feels that the combat power of these constructed knights and ant cavalry can at least be improved a step.
He was just thinking about it, when he heard Tiger, the wolf knight, say:
"If we follow the way of our orcs, then convince their entire tribe to form a strategic alliance with us."
"For example, the orc tribes. On the Pai Plateau alone, there are wolf tribes, ligers, centaurs, etc. If it is on the eastern continent, there are also cat tribes, rabbit tribes, etc."
"The existence of these tribes is basically an alliance. As long as a war breaks out in one place, all tribes will send soldiers to fight."
The words of the wolf knight Tago immediately opened a window in Suldak's heart. It turns out that this can still be done!
At this time, even the two-headed ogre Gullitum came up and said:
"Actually, the orc tribes in the past were stronger than they are now. Strictly speaking, almost all of our ogres, cyclops, and roc tribes joined the orc tribes, and we separated only after we stopped fighting."
"After all, you and Tago still have such a relationship..." Andrew laughed loudly.
Gulitum stared at the eyes like copper bells, and angrily said to Andrew: "What I want to express is that the matter that the boss is considering is very feasible. If he can invite the big witches from the aboriginal tribes, then he doesn't have to do so." busy"
Suldak patted Tago's shoulder with his blood-stained hand, and said with satisfaction: "It's worth a try, at least for now we have a common enemy, and we can't keep them stationed in Moyunling, or we will It may be a big trouble if something rushes down."
"Furthermore, based on the current strength of our West Route Army, it is impossible to push the battlefield all the way to Moyun Ridge, and it is even more impossible for the aboriginal tribes in the northern mountains of Moyun Ridge. You can really think about it!"
Thinking of this, Suldak's thoughts were suddenly opened.
He began to discuss with the three people around him about reaching a strategic alliance with the aboriginal tribe.
…
It wasn't until the magician Basil rode a magic scorpion handle down slowly under the cover of night that Suldak stopped talking about this topic.
The group of magicians who came to the Warsaw plane with the Suldak Lord Army are now almost all members of the investigation team, and these magicians have long adapted to this kind of hard military life.
They have to carry out a lot of investigation activities every day, and many magicians have become dark and thin these days.
Basil came out with Suldak this time mainly to investigate the group of ghost warriors who rushed in from Naroda, and to carry out night investigation at such a late hour was also to determine the course of action for tomorrow morning.
When he arrived at the Buruin River, Suldak didn't want to be led by the nose by Captain Emile Mason all the time.
"How is it going?"
Suldak couldn't help asking when he saw Basil sitting down.
The magician Basil untied the water bag, pulled out the cork and took a sip of water, then said: "If you explore west along the Buruin River, you can see a large number of evil spirits, but these evil spirits are almost three The scale of more than a thousand people is probably due to the investigation of the many tributaries of the Buruin River, which led to the dispersion of the army by these evil spirits."
"This is good news for us, at least we can just eat an army of evil spirits of this size!"
Suldak suddenly came alive...
The magician Basil continued: "And I found that there is a knight formation entangled with each evil ghost army. Just in the middle of the Buruin River, I found at least eight knights of this kind. Although they seem to be in a mess, they are not as miserable as this one..."
The last sentence, Basil said very quietly.
It is indeed miserable enough, there is no knight in the entire Constructed Knights who is not injured.
Suldak knew that these Constructed Knights were troops of the Eastern Route Army. Back then, the lords of Bena City believed that Marquis Edmund Arnold could bring them good luck, so they placed their last bet.
For Duke Newman, this is actually a big gamble. It took him more than eight years for this game.
I pushed most of the chips into the betting pool before, and now the last few hands are about to see whether I win or lose...
Suldak's West Route Army has also become a bargaining chip. Thinking of this, Suldak said:
"Get ready, Andrew. Tomorrow morning, we will sweep westward along the Bruin River to clean up all the evil spirits we encounter. Tiger's Second Construct Knights will set off with you. You must try your best to respond to those constructs. Knights, this group of constructed knights is estimated to be the last property of many noble lords, we can't let them be tossed by these evil spirits here."
"clear…"
Andrew said with his chest out.
Actually, he was a bit envious of those giant soldier ants...
Let this group of giant soldier ants stand at the forefront, and the power advantage possessed by the ghost warriors will immediately disappear.
"Go on!"
Suldak threw a glass tube at Basil.
The magician hurriedly grabbed it, and then shook it gently with his hand. Seeing the light blue transparent liquid in the glass tube bubble slightly, he pulled out the cork and sniffed it under his nose.
Then said excitedly:
"This is a good thing!"
He shook the bottle of potion, moistened his lips with the light blue liquid, and sealed the lid of the bottle very stingily, and took out a small magic sealing box from his magic pocket, and kept it in the In the magic box.
Seeing Suldak and the others looking at him in surprise, he explained:
"I remember when I was studying at the Magic Academy, I was still a magic apprentice at that time. I received the allowance from the magic union every month, and I had to recite the magic rune table every day to meet the monthly exams. At that time, all the allowances had to be saved. Get up, just to be able to buy a bottle of this potion before graduation."
"Aside from alleviating mental fatigue, what else can it do?" Suldak asked curiously.
Basil laughed and said, "It's not for relieving mental fatigue. Only a great lord like you would drink the potion of spiritual power so extravagantly. Even if we are magicians, we can only drink it when the magic experiment is the most critical." It’s time to open a bottle.”
"This thing is as special as the Power of the Lion King potion. As long as a ninth-level magic apprentice drinks it, he can see himself break through the bottleneck and become a first-level mage. As long as the effect of the potion does not disappear, he can continue to maintain this state. For a magic apprentice, it is considered a successful promotion to become a magician."
"So this is a bottle of magic potion that assists advancement, but it can only temporarily improve mental power."
Suldak, who has never taken spiritual power potions seriously, finally knows why Lance, the magic union in Hailansa City, has such a proposal...
"So it is! No wonder Lance wants to make more bottles." He muttered to himself.
The magician Basil glanced at Suldak in surprise, but refrained from asking.
Andrew and Gullitum also looked at each other in blank dismay.
"We didn't think this thing would be so precious, but I still have the previous opinion. No matter what potion is now, it is inferior to the healing potion..."
Andrew said loudly.
