Chapter 438 437. Two boxes of loot
Because the Hailansa Guard Battalion is about to perform a new mission, the defense of the city wall section will be handed over to the City Defense Recruit Battalion in the afternoon, and the treatment room will also be closed before the afternoon.
Suldak had no choice but to ask the injured guards who hadn't had time to be treated to go to the field hospital in Wojmara City for treatment, and then took advantage of this time to clean up the treatment room thoroughly, wipe the blood on the floor, and put together All the wooden boxes that formed the bed were pushed down to the corner, and the 'Water Gathering' rune board hanging on the wall was taken back.
The treatment room that became a warehouse again suddenly seemed empty, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air, which could not be dissipated.
The ceremony of signing the magic contract is very simple. You only need to write the regulations agreed by both parties on the scroll of the magic contract, and sign or stamp on the scroll to take effect. In this way, Andrew, a native Nanai warrior, and Samira, a half-elf archer Become a follower of Suldak, but the two of them are members of the security team of the Badlands of Pagros Mountain, the High Lansa Guard Camp.
The Hellhound was pinned down by the Benar heavy cavalry on the battlefield outside the city gate. There was no energy left to attack the city, and the city wall seemed very quiet.
Suldak put away the two magic contract scrolls and decided to fulfill his promise. He left the archer Samira behind and asked the native warrior Andrew to wait outside the warehouse for a while.
When 72 yellow gold coins were stacked neatly on the square table, Samira could not take her eyes off those gold coins. She sat in front of the table, recounted the number of gold coins very carefully, and then carefully put the gold coins into a cloth bag Li raised his delicate face and looked at Suldak with a pair of pale red eyes.
Surdak stood opposite Samira, nodded to her and said, "I can only give you half a day, and you must return to the guard camp before the post is handed over in the afternoon."
Samira nodded. She didn't seem to like talking very much. Maybe her sweet voice didn't match her cold temperament, so she tried to avoid talking.
She stood up and walked outside. When she was about to reach the warehouse, she was stopped by Suldak again: "Samila, wait a minute!"
The half-elf archer turned around suspiciously, the warehouse door had already been pushed open by Samira, and the outside sunlight shone in on her long legs, and the somewhat glaring light made her legs thin and long.
Suldak dug out a set of Salamander leather armor from his magic waist bag and piled it on the wooden table. The dark red monster leather looked extra dazzling. He reached out and patted the leather armor twice and said, "This set of leather armor I'm using it for you temporarily, it may not fit well, you can go to the leather shop to change the size later."
"Oh!" Samira agreed and walked back.
Picking up the salamander leather armor on the table, she did not avoid Suldak, and directly tore off the tattered cloak on her body, revealing her upper body covered with linen bandages. She was tall and slender, with a well-proportioned frame, standing up straight It is only half a head shorter than Suldak, and the only shortcoming is a flat chest.
Wearing the salamander leather armor on her body, the size is actually quite suitable, only the shoulder pads and breastplate are a little looser, even if the buckles and straps are tightly tightened, it is still not too snug, because she is too thin.
She is the kind of person who doesn't like to express her emotions very much, but at the moment Samira's eyes are full of brilliance, it can be seen that she likes this earth red leather armor very much.
Standing in front of the square table, Samira straightened her short, broken hair, looking at Suldak with light red eyes, as if asking Suldak: Is there anything else?
Suldak scratched his head with his hands, thinking: Since a set of expensive salamander leather armor has been given away, a woolen cloak is not missing, so he took out a light brown hooded cloak from his magic pocket. The cloak was handed to her so that she would not have to put the linen cloak with countless holes on it again.
Samila took over the brand-new cloak, not caring that the hem was a little long, and draped it on her body refreshingly, and skillfully covered her elf-like face with the hood.
She was not willing to throw away the linen cloak, she rolled it into a ball and held it in her hand, striding out of the treatment room.
On the opposite side of the street at the foot of the city wall, a group of children squatted under a Taylor tree. When they saw Samira come out of the treatment room, they swarmed around her and walked towards the orphanage like this. A little sad, they knew that Samira had found a suitable price to sell herself this time, and would leave the Maca plane in a short time.
Maybe I can come back alive, maybe I can’t, just like the others, there will be no news after leaving...
…
Samira left the warehouse, and then Andrew walked in.
There are only 22 gold coins on the table. Surdak signed a three-year contract with the indigenous warriors, so he gets less gold coins, but in fact it is more free.
Seeing so many gold coins on the square table, the Nanai native warrior's Adam's apple twitched slightly. He reached out to pick up a gold coin, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, and then wiped off the gold coin with satisfaction. Drooling, he gathered the gold coins on the table into his hands, and said to Suldak with a silly smile: "It's the first time I've seen so many gold coins. This thing is a hard currency in Wojmara City. You can exchange it with cassava. Noodles and chestnut rice noodles should be enough to eat at home for a long time."
"How much salary do you get a month in the city defense army?" Suldak looked at the big man in front of him and asked curiously.
He probably doesn't know what the meaning of the 'soul of the berserker' will be to him.
Andrew thought about it seriously, and answered honestly: "Twenty-five silver coins, but before the Hellhounds besieged the city, this job was very easy, and I even managed a lunch, as long as I have excellent physical fitness and have settled here for ten years The above-mentioned aborigines are eligible to apply to join the city defense army. Unfortunately, I was injured too badly this time. The defense officer above thought that even if my injury was completely recovered, I lost the ability to fight and could not stay in the city defense army. Try your luck at the airport terminal, the airships at the airport are almost full recently, and there are employers who hire coolies everywhere.”
Suldak didn't know what the consumption level of Wojmara City was like before. Whether twenty-two gold coins could allow Andrew's family to live in the city for three years. Hearing what Andrew said, it should be possible to calculate carefully.
"Isn't there a shortage of supplies in Wojmara City now?" He was worried that the war would raise prices, especially food prices, so he asked Andrew again.
"I'll see you later." Suldak said to Andrew.
Before leaving, Suldak gave the Nanai indigenous warriors the set of full-cover metal armor issued to him by the guard battalion. Although this set of armor was a bit smaller for the tall indigenous warriors, it was tight on the body. Yes, but the standard armor of the Guard Battalion was designed with common size in mind at the beginning, so the adjustment straps of each part were adjusted to the maximum, and it was barely able to wear it.
For this set of metal armor, Andrew couldn't put it down.
Same as Samira, Suldak only gave Andrew half a day, asking him to return here before the guard battalion was handed over in the afternoon.
…
During the afternoon, Suldak also stood at the top of the city wearing a constructed armor which was very rare, watching the battle situation below the city while chatting with Karl.
As a large number of reinforcements from Bena Province rushed to Wojmara City, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the side of the Bena Army, but tens of thousands of hellhounds still surrounded Wojmara City tightly, and the people outside the city gate On the main battlefield, nearly a thousand heavy cavalry were like two giant iron plows. They had plowed the land at the gate of the city countless times. The corpses of hellhounds were piled up like hills, but those hellhounds Still rushing towards the heavy cavalry one after another.
Even if the fangs of the vicious dogs cannot bite through the armor of the heavy cavalry, the ankles of the war horse, the abdomen that cannot cover the armor, and the weak spots at the joints of the heavy armor have become the main targets of these **** dogs. Even if the heavy cavalry follows behind Focusing on the heavy armored infantry regiment, after a battle, it can still cause huge casualties to the heavy cavalry regiment.
It is said that the whereabouts of the hellhounds that have been found in other areas on the Maca plane are just small groups of hellhounds roaming around the plane. They harass villages and small towns, but they will not sneak into other cities easily. Even so, The Hellhounds still cause great panic in other parts of the Maca Plane.
When people wanted to flee to the central city of Wojmara, they discovered that the city had already been surrounded by layers of Hell Dog Legion half a month ago. face spread...
That's why the war command can't wait to expand the victory and push the battlefield outside the city, so that the combat effectiveness of the reinforcements in Wojmara can be released to the greatest extent. At present, the war resources consumed by Wojmara alone every day, It is an astronomical sum, and only by expanding the results of the battle as soon as possible can this part of the loss be made up for.
Below the city wall, the recruits of the City Defense Army have assembled, and they are just waiting for the time to climb to the top of the city and take over the defense with the Hailansa Guard Battalion.
During this period of time, the Hailansa Guard Battalion had a fairly good reputation in Wojmara City, and the city wall had the fewest defense problems. Moreover, many people in the City Defense Army knew that there was a great knight in the Hailansa Guard Battalion. He had Very superb first aid skills, saved many people in the past few days, and he does not discriminate against aboriginal fighters, you must know that most of the city defense army are local aboriginal fighters, everyone is very concerned about this kind of thing.
When the defense was handed over, when every knight of the High Lansa Guard Battalion walked down the city, almost every knight clenched their fists and walked down with fist bumps with the recruits of the city guard. It was like the knights of the High Lansa Guard Battalion left some honor and spirit here, and those who guarded these were the new troops of the City Defense Army.
Of course, the so-called new army is not entirely new recruits. There are at least four layers of the city defense guards who are veterans of the guard army.
The knights of the guard battalion have already started to line up in the city, preparing to return to the camp to rest. Tomorrow, the Hailansa Guard Battalion will leave the city and make final preparations before the battle tonight.
"How about it... I guess they might not come here. It's more reliable to choose graduates from Hailansa Knight Academy for finding players!" Karl walked to Suldak's side, showing a gloating expression on his face. expression.
The other squadrons of the guard battalion have already set off, and the support squadron is at the rear of the guard battalion.
But Suldak still hadn't waited for Andrew and Samira. Suldak turned his head to look at the setting sun slanting to the west, and prepared to return to the station with Karl.
At this moment, the half-elf archer turned around from behind a Taro tree on the side of the street, staring at Suldak coldly.
Andrew, an indigenous Nanai warrior, was carrying a large axe, and wearing the full armor of the Hailansa Guard Battalion, ran over panting from a distance...
Suldak smiled proudly at Karl and said, "They are not too late!"
…
I originally thought that the temporary station of the Hailansa Guard Battalion in Wojmara was located in a large hotel, a large opera house, an arena, etc., but I didn’t expect that the station was only at a crossroads in the city. On the square, the entire square was filled with a vast expanse of white military tents, so that the 500 knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion only occupied a corner of the square.
In this square, there are also guard battalion knights from Constantinople and Ples City. The three parties together have more than 1,500 knights and more than 70 constructed knights.
In fact, on the way back to the garrison, Suldak found that many corps were temporarily stationed on the sidewalks of the street, and he knew that the current population of the city seemed to be saturated. Although the battlefield outside the city had not yet fully opened up, but The headquarters has already started the horn of a major counter-offensive.
During dinner, the native soldier Andrew was full of praise for the marching rations in Hailansa City, which made the other guard battalion knights think that everyone was eating different kinds of food. Samira was also quietly holding the wooden bowl and sitting in the tent Stuttering with relish, Suldak tasted it again, and it was still that disgusting paste with a salty taste...that's right.
When I was in the Moyunling camp, I almost vomited from eating this kind of food. Eating it now is really a kind of torture.
As a knight at the captain level of the guard battalion, Suldak has an independent marching tent, so Andrew and Samira arranged for their own tent, which is spacious enough anyway.
The only trouble was that the two of them did not have sleeping bags for the march, so Suldak had to find Karl again, and Karl came forward to get two military blankets in the guard camp.
In the evening, the Hailansa Guard Battalion made a post-war summary. Viscount Emmet personally praised everyone. For this city defense mission, the Hailansa Guard Battalion was nominated and praised by the Marquis Luther of the headquarters. It will be of great help to Viscount Emmet's promotion to the title in the future, and it will also make Viscount Emmet really proud among the many captains of the guard battalion.
When it was time to liquidate the trophies, Suldak's trophies were also the most in the guard camp, including two wooden boxes of hellhound heads.
