Chapter 436 435. Berserker Andrew
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the row upon row of roof ridges of Wojmara City, setting a dazzling golden edge for this beautiful city.
The half-elf archer Samira stood on the archery tower, with the warm wind blowing the ends of her hair protruding from the hood, she sighed softly in her heart, these vicious dogs besieging the city were both opportunities and suffering. The hidden injury on her right arm made her suffer a lot, and she had relapsed several times before, all of which were collapsed when she was overdrawn, but none of them were as serious as this time.
The scene that Samira didn't want to see finally appeared on the hill outside the city. The second three-headed hound appeared in the hellhound group.
Thousands of hellhounds died in the siege battle, but there are always a few of the strongest and luckiest ones who can survive on the battlefield. Their bodies have transformed, and they stand out on the battlefield and become hellhounds. The king of the dog army.
This is not good news for the soldiers of the Green Empire.
The War Command even specially arranged for these two hellhounds to have two construction knights at the peak level to keep an eye on their movements. The two three-headed hellhounds even possessed elementary intelligence, hiding wretchedly among the hellhounds. Even if the bed crossbow on the archery tower can't do anything with them.
There are far fewer hellhounds that can rush to the top of the city now than in the previous two days, so Samira's harvest is not as much as in the previous two days.
Before some hellhounds can climb up, they will be pierced by spears protruding from between the walls and fall from the top of the city. Some hellhounds will fall to their deaths under the city in this way, and the city wall guards must take advantage of a certain gap when the battle subsides to use a rope-attached grappling hook to pull the hellhound corpses up to the top of the city, otherwise they will be killed by other hellhounds later. The vicious dog dragged away.
Military merit needs to count the number of hellhound heads, and the number of hellhound heads that can be distributed to archers is even more limited.
Samira dragged her exhausted body, with only three vicious dog heads hanging on her waist, her right arm was tightly bound by a bandage, and she could still feel the pain inside, she could feel that the condition of her arm was getting worse and worse. Too bad, she was hesitating whether to go to that treatment room again and ask the Construct Knight to heal with holy light, but every time she took out a hellhound head as a reward, it made her somewhat reluctant.
The lights were on in that treatment room, and there was a long queue at the door. Now they are willing to wait patiently outside, almost all of them are guarded by native warriors from the Maca plane. The knight in this treatment room is very special, and his eyes are calm. And sincerity, there will be no deep-rooted discrimination in the eyes because of the aboriginal blood or half-elf blood, which is still rare in the Grimm Empire where 'knight glory is above all'.
She pursed her dry lips, took out a water bag from her waist and took a sip of water before walking over.
The injured native guards next to her gave way to the side. Samira's archery and stinginess are well-known in this area, and no one wants to offend an archer like her.
When I came to the door, I happened to see Suldak push the door open and send out a cured injured guard.
He glanced out of the door habitually, and sure enough, the half-elf archer in tattered leather armor was standing outside the door silently like a ghost, but today the head of the hellhound on her waist is a bit lacking.
Surdak let her sit on the wooden bed, began to check her broken arm, and sighed softly: "You can't do this, how long do you expect these **** dogs to stay outside Vojmara?"
The incandescent flame of the holy light torch was under her arm, almost completely enveloping her arm. Samira could feel the broken meridians and blood vessels in her arm were healing rapidly. Samira pursed her lips and remained silent as usual.
Suldak was not discouraged, and said to her: "Are you planning to chase into the dangerous jungle alone and hunt these **** dogs alone?"
Indeed, she was waiting for that opportunity, she wanted to get into the jungle and maybe find more opportunities to make money.
She is a little worried that these hellhound heads can't be sold at all now, there are simply too many of them. The military merit converted from the head also dropped again and again. Now that the heavy cavalry can rush out from the main gate and plunder the hellhounds outside the city, the head of the hellhound is facing another depreciation.
Suldak continued: "Your right arm injury is deteriorating, and you will soon be unable to draw a bow, and I will not be here forever. When our guard battalion receives the next task, I will With the Guard Battalion out of here, I don't belong here."
He stopped, fixed his eyes on the half-elf archer, and asked her, "So what are you going to do?"
Samira didn't think about this, she looked away, trying to avoid these questions.
Seeing that Samira felt a little loose in his heart, Suldak took the opportunity to say, "I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it, maybe it's a good choice."
Samira turned to stare at Suldak. Suldak tapped the holy light torch with his finger and said, "Join us."
He stood up straight and introduced himself to Samira: "Let me introduce formally, Suldak, the sheriff of the emergency rescue squadron outside the city of Hailansa Guard Battalion in the barren land of Pagros Mountain. We plan to recruit a team that not only has a formal establishment, but also has the freedom to do the usual tasks, we need fighters with rich combat experience to join us, do you want to think about it?"
At this time, he felt like a wretched uncle squatting by the pool and tricking the little girl into fishing for goldfish. He touched his nose to hide the embarrassment on his face, and continued to Samira: "The monthly salary is not bad, at least better than yours. It is much more stable now, and it is only by following me that the right arm injury can recover, and my promise to you is: you can leave at any time when you get bored!"
"How much salary can I get?" The voice of the half-elf archer was a little inaudible.
Suldak didn't expect her to speak, her voice was as clear and melodious as a tinkling spring water, and he looked at her a little stupidly: "Huh?"
"How much salary can I get every month?" The half-elf archer raised his pale red eyes and looked at Suldak very seriously.
"60 silver coins, of course there may be some other gains and dividends." Suldak thought about the benefits of the Hailansa Guard Camp, and said truthfully.
"Pay me 10 years' salary first, and I will follow you wherever you want!" The half-elf archer lowered his head and said silently.
"Are you sure?" Suldak didn't expect the half-elf archer to say this. He certainly hoped that there would be an excellent archer in the security team of the guard camp. Although her reputation was not very good, the dilapidated orphanage It is enough to explain her quality, which is exactly what Suldak likes.
"Yeah!" Samira nodded, she looked out through the wooden door, and said softly: "In another 10 years, Angolo and the others will grow up, and I hope they can support their family by then. "
Suldak had always thought she was dumb, but he didn't expect her voice to be so clear and pleasant.
Suldak thought about it, and decided to prepare a magic contract to guarantee it. He said: "Of course it is okay to pay the salary in advance, but you need to sign a contract tomorrow. After all, the money is not a small amount."
Samira lowered her head and nodded slightly.
Actually, he didn't say the last sentence...
‘We are the regular army…’
…
Suldak tossed and turned in his sleeping bag that night, sleeping a little restlessly.
Suldak wasn't sure if it was right for him to do so, but at least it could help the half-elf archer out of the current predicament.
Moreover, at present, the Hailansa Guard Battalion really wants to recruit a few people, and his subordinates can only be used by himself if he recruits himself, but whether this kind of cross-regional recruitment complies with the rules, Suldak is still a little uncertain Pay attention, so he wants to discuss with Karl, but whether he agrees or not, he wants to sign the half-elf archer, even if it is to become his entourage in the future. There is a lack of such an archer proficient in archery in the Pagolos Mountains.
In the early morning, Suldak left the treatment room facing the first ray of sunlight. He wanted to find a magic grocery store and buy a magic contract scroll there. Guaranteed.
Not far away, the army is gathering at the gate of the city. It seems that yesterday's battle outside the city must have yielded something. That's why we started preparing to go out of the city so early today. Wozhimara needs one victory after another to cheer him up. popular support.
The residents of the city lined the streets to send off the knights who went out to fight. Cheers and applause made this battle full of glory.
Suldak crossed the main street and walked quickly towards the airport pier. He heard that many magic shops in Wojmara City were close to the airport pier. Without horses, the distance seemed a bit long, and he did not The way is to stay outside for too long, so it is almost a fast trip all the way.
When passing by the airport terminal, I saw a large number of supplies and vehicles continuously pulling into the terminal. There are two airport towers in the airport terminal, and the magical airships parked on both towers. A group of hard workers are carrying heavy wood from the trucks. Box, step by step up the tower.
The two cranes on the high tower are also working at full capacity, and the entire airport terminal is very busy and bustling.
From time to time, a magician riding a magic handle will fly by in the sky.
Squatting in the corner of the wall outside the gate of the airport wharf are a row of hard workers waiting to be hired, but they were not hired for various reasons, so they could only line up in a row with nothing to do, waiting for the employers to come and pick them like livestock They are considered to be the bottom group of people living in Wozhimara City. In this row of people waiting to be hired, the Nanai aborigines account for the vast majority.
"Andrew, why are you here? It seems that your injury is recovering well." Suldak saw a familiar figure in the crowd, so he walked over to say hello.
That's right, the aborigine was wearing a rough linen blouse, with thick bandages wrapped around his arms and thighs, and he looked very strong. He sat with other Nanai aborigines, silently He was quietly waiting at the gate of the airport pier to be hired. He was the city guard who was the first to be rescued by Suldak—the native warrior Andrew.
Unexpectedly, with such a serious injury, he was able to get out of bed in just five days, and even went to the airport pier to do hard labor.
When Andrew was treated, this guy was unconscious the whole time, so he didn't know Suldak.
Seeing a knight standing in front of him, Andrew quickly stood up from the ground, straightened his body and said to Suldak: "Master Knight, I left the city defense army because of my injury. Forced, I have to find something to do to support my family.”
Suldak couldn't understand, so he asked Andrew: "After a while, your arm may fully recover. Why did you leave the city guard at this time?"
Andrew looked at Suldak in surprise, and asked with a puzzled look: "Aren't you the knight of the city defense inspector team?"
Suddenly a companion stabbed Andrew, and reminded him in a low voice: "Andrew, he is the first-aid knight who saved you that night!"
Andreu's eyes widened, his face was full of gratitude, he was a little excited to grab Suldak's hand, but he was a little humble, hesitant to stretch out his hand, and a simple and honest smile appeared on his face.
"You didn't recuperate and recover in the barracks, how did you come here to carry the bag?" Suldak couldn't help asking.
With the soul of a berserker hidden in his body, it is no one who wants to come here to work as a coolie.
Andrew replied with a face of shame and bitterness: "The city defense army does not support idlers. The temporary employment agreement signed by us natives and the city defense can be terminated at any time, so once injured means that we are temporarily unemployed. gone."
Suldak never thought that this would be the case. He wondered whether he would face the same embarrassment as Andrew in the guard camp in the future. It seemed that the guard camp would not just abandon the injured guard knights who could not participate in the battle.
"Is there any compensation?" He asked curiously.
Andrew's face became even more bitter, and he said naively: "I even lost my job as a city wall guard, how can there be compensation!"
"It's really a headache. Your injury is obviously more than half healed, and it won't take long for you to fully recover. How can they have the right to do this?" Although Suldak said this, he secretly scolded the city defense department in his heart. A group of idiots actually let go of a warrior who had awakened his 'potential' in vain.
Afterwards, Suldak felt that this was a good thing for him, so he took half a step forward, patted Andrew's strong shoulder and asked, "By the way, Andrew, have you ever thought about leaving Wozhi in the future?" Mara City, go to the Green Empire to take a look?"
"Of course, I really want to see the outside world!" Andrew replied honestly, but he immediately said: "It seems that it is difficult to find an adventure group that does not discriminate against indigenous fighters! And my family is still here. Wojmara City, they need my care, I can't go away at all!"
Have family to take care of and don't want to leave? Suldak thought in his heart, and the next moment he thought of Samira's request for an advance salary, he patted Andrew vigorously, and said to him readily: "Five years of salary advance, join the Hailansa guard Battalion, would you be interested in becoming a member of the Badlands Vigilante Team on Pagros Mountain?"
Andre probably only heard that the salary was paid in advance for five years, and what was going on behind it, he was not in the mood to listen at all, so he looked at Suldak excitedly, and asked in a naive voice: "Are you... serious?"
Suldak nodded emphatically, and said: "Of course, you don't need to question the character of a knight, and I will sign a magic contract with you!"
"Then I'll do it!" Andrew replied readily.
"Andrew, welcome to the security team in the Badlands of Mount Pagros..."
