Chapter 481 480. Homecoming
Under the vision of the "Eye of Reality", the upper body of King Gog who is constantly burning seems to be a complete life pattern. The body of King Gog is lying flat in the hotel yard, and Suldak stands Meters away, you can feel the heat wave emanating from it.
Suldak took a bucket of water from the well in the yard and poured it on the burning King Gog, instantly extinguishing the flames on it.
There was a trace of green smoke coming out of King Gog's body, Suldak quickly pulled out the skinning knife, squatted on the ground, and quickly peeled off a piece of reddish-brown leather of King Gog.
The 'Eye of Reality' allowed Suldak to see some slowly flowing magical breath on the leather. The magic power slowly flowed and gathered in the dark lines of the peeled leather, while two vaguely appeared around the leather chest. Similar to the patterns of magic runes, one of the magic patterns is like a snake curling up into a ball, symbolizing the life conceived in the mother's body, and the other magic pattern is like a giant beast squatting on the sky with its mouth open. Among the burning flames, it was these two magic pattern patterns that made this leather full of hot flames.
Suldak folded the leather stripped from King Gog's body and put it in the magic sealing box.
Then he picked and picked the King of Gog for a long time, but he didn't find anything more valuable.
Andrew has been busy with Suldak until the end.
After that, he cleaned up the remains of King Gog in the yard, and then slept on a wooden bed built with a door panel in the storage room on the first floor of the hotel.
The window of the attic was pushed open, and Samira leaned out of the hammock with a blanket and took a look out. Seeing that Suldak had finished busying in the yard, she retracted into the sleeping bag of the hammock and closed it. Eyes, she also likes to hang herself on a tree in the wild, and she can sleep peacefully in this position.
The ogre Gullitum roasted two half-cooked Gogs. This kind of Gogs is not afraid of fire at all. However, the meat of Gog is still very strong, and the bones of the body are not hard at all. The ogre chewed it a few times, and it creaked like chewing a bone. After eating this string of supper, the food The demon got into the spacious stable, lying on the warm hay and sleeping soundly.
…
The three guard battalion commanders discussed it, and they were not in a hurry to lead the guard battalion knights out of the town of Dixon, but planned to stay in the town of Dixon for three days and send a squad of knights to chase down the hellhounds scattered in the hills and mountains. , continue to expand the results of the battle and search for survivors in the town.
When attacking the town of Dixon yesterday, several knight squads reported to the three commanders that another battle group was found outside the town. Earl Collins guessed that it might be the remnant armed forces of Dixon town. After the town of Dixon was occupied by the Knights of the Guard Battalion, it is not known why they did not return to the town.
After some discussions, the three commanders decided that the guard battalion sent half of the knights into the surrounding hills and mountains to chase the hellhounds, and the rest of the guard battalion knights stayed in the small town of Dixon.
The morning sun was extremely glaring, people were coming and going on the street outside the hotel, and the sound of footsteps made it impossible for Suldak to continue to sleep.
Lifting the blanket covering his body, Suldak got up from the sofa in the lobby of the hotel, and saw teams of guard battalion knights passing by the hotel door one after another. Suldak took out the 'earth' from his magic pocket. The shield' magic pattern structure, one by one set on the body.
Just as she put on her heavy iron boots, Samira brought a tray from the dining room. On the tray was a glass of water and a piece of white bread with a thick layer of tartar jam. Suldak had tasted it yesterday. This kind of tartare jam has a slightly sour taste, which is mixed with the yeasty taste of white bread. It is not as delicious as the rumors. It may be that the white bread is not dry enough or hard enough.
Suldak drank the water in the cup, went out and pushed the door of the hotel wide open, and saw Karl and several team leaders rushing past the hotel, seeming to be coming back from the direction of the town council hall, preparing to return to the support squadron. As a member of the support squadron, Suldak hurried over to see what tasks Karl had.
Karl conveyed Viscount Emmet's order to Suldak.
He intends to let the existing knights of the first, second and third squadrons of the support squadron carry out the hunting mission, and Suldak will stay in the small town of Dixon to continue treating the wounded.
The knights of the guard battalion were resting in the small town. Because of the follow-up treatment work, it was difficult for Suldak to be idle for a while. He knew this would be the result.
After all, treating the injured knights is more important than chasing and killing those **** dogs. After Karl arranged the tasks of each team leader, he waved to Karl, returned to the small town hotel that was converted into a field hospital, and began to conduct routine sanitation for those injured knights. Phototherapy to speed up wound healing.
Samila was sitting at the front desk of the hotel lobby polishing the arrow clusters in the quiver, while the ogre Gulitam was sitting in the backyard of the hotel brushing his teeth with a giant brush.
After Andrew returned to the hotel, he seemed a little preoccupied, and followed behind Suldak hesitantly.
Suldak checked the wound of an injured knight again, and after performing the Holy Light spell, he asked him:
"Andrew, what's the matter? You seem a little absent-minded early in the morning."
Andrew scratched his head with his hands, and said to Suldak with a embarrassed face: "Captain, there is something I want to tell you, that is, I met a Nanai brother this morning, he is... their The tribe did not give up the jungle and went into the city at the beginning, they have always maintained their previous way of life, relying on hunting and gathering in the jungle, but this time..."
Andrew, a Nanai warrior, shared his troubles: In the morning, a Nanai compatriot sneaked into the guard camp in Dixon Township, and told Andrew about the troubles encountered by his small Nanai tribe. Andrew from the army came forward to help.
After hearing what Andrew had said in detail, Suldak asked Andrew again: "So the warriors of your tribe saved some residents of Dixon Township and brought them back to the tribe?"
"Only saved a few residents who escaped from the town of Dixon," Andrew nodded, and then said: "Although they have the strength to fight against **** dogs now, once they encounter giant **** dogs, it is still difficult to defeat them. They want to ask our guard battalion to help them drive away those giant hellhounds."
Suldak thought for a while, and felt that this matter should not be difficult, so he said: "I understand, you should tell me about this kind of thing earlier, I will go and talk to Karl, and try to get the support squadron to go out this time." Execute the mission, put the target area in your Nanai tribe, clean up the **** dogs around the tribe, you and Samira will also go out with everyone on the mission this time!"
"Yes, Captain!" Andrew puffed out his chest and was in high spirits.
"Do you want to take Gulitum?" Samira asked Suldak.
Suldak nodded: "Alright, it's boring to see him sitting in the yard, so let him go out for a walk."
When Suldak found Karl, there were 20 knights in the support squadron stationed ready to go. Suldak told Karl the request of Andrew, a fellow Nanai. Karl's eyes lit up and he patted Suldak on the shoulder. Said: "I was still worried just now. I didn't know which direction to lead the knight team. Now that I have a special guide, I don't have to worry about not getting any results from this mission."
…
At night, when it was just dark, Karl returned with a team of knights.
Almost every knight has a string of hellhound heads hanging on their waists. The knights in the support squadron are almost the most rewarding team among these pursuit teams. Seeing the trophies on the knights, other guard knights can't help asking. Where did you find so many hellhounds.
The ogre Gullitum also had a string of giant hellhound heads hanging on his bone-crushing stick. He strode back from outside the town, lowering his head from time to time to talk to the half-elf archer, and he didn't know what the two were talking about.
Suldak was sitting on a chair on the terrace of the hotel to rest. Karl was walking at the front of the line. When he looked up and saw Suldak, he waved to him.
During the day, several more wounded were sent to the hotel one after another. Suldak was not as busy as last night, but he was not idle all day long. Moreover, the carrion on some injured knights had not been cleaned up, and the wounds continued to spread. It deteriorated, and there were also signs of corrosion in the tiny wounds that I hadn't noticed before. Suldak had to treat the wounds again. He was busy at this time, and he just took a break.
The fact that the aid squadron had harvested a lot of loot from hunting Cerberus this time quickly spread to Viscount Emmet, who personally asked Karl about the situation, and Karl did not hide it, and directly told Viscount Emmet that it was because of the local aborigines As a guide, and in the Nanai tribe, the Knight of the Guard Battalion also met more than 20 residents of Dixon Township who took refuge there, and their current living conditions are good.
Viscount Emmett hopes that Karl can find more Nanai indigenous guides, and clear the area around the town of Dixon from the hellhounds as soon as possible.
The resistance force formed by the Nanai tribe and the residents of the small town formally appeared as a guide in each squadron of the guard camp. The knights of the three guard battalions relied on the local residents and aborigines to chase down the hellhounds that fled to the hills and mountains. The footsteps of the pursuit team gradually expanded to some villages around the town.
Samira and Andrew harvested a large number of hellhound heads during the battle, and the accumulation of military achievements was also very fast. The yard of the town council hall was full of large boxes containing hellhound heads. In the city of Wojmara, exchange military merits with the war headquarters.
During this period, Suldak met many brave Nanai warriors. They were optimistic and brave. They led the tribe to deal with **** dogs in the jungle in adversity. Even in the most difficult situation, they never lost fighting spirit.
By the fourth day, the news that the town of Dixon had been captured had been sent back to Wojmara City.
Some adventure groups and business groups came to the town one after another. These business groups brought a lot of supplies, and also solved the problem that these spoils could not be transported for the guard camp.
However, the arrival of some adventure groups is not so pleasant. These adventure groups are more flexible. They did not enter the town of Dixon for charity, but to take the opportunity to hunt some hellhounds. With these new competitions Or, the knights of the guard battalion went out to harvest every day, and there was a stepwise decline every day.
Seeing that the Cerberus around Dixon Township has been almost cleared, and the guard battalion has not received any new mission from the War Command, it is preparing to evacuate Dixon Township and return to Wojmara City.
Just the night before the evacuation of Dixon Township, a caravan brought news from Wojmara that the Constructed Swordsmen had successfully destroyed the Passage of Hell. The black magician at the mouth tried to detonate this space channel by using his own mana as a medium.
Once the channel formed by the space-time rift completely collapses, the space-time storm will be extremely destructive.
It is said that once this kind of space-time storm cannot be contained in the early stage, it is easy to cause the entire plane to collapse completely. Many planes are finally collapsed due to over-development and strong battles. Those planes have now become extremely dangerous positions. Even the most experienced adventure group dare not go to those planes.
On the way back to Wojmara City, I met several caravans and adventure groups along the way.
So many small adventure groups have drilled out of Vozmara City, which means that the war on the Maca plane is gradually coming to an end. Adventure groups are more like cleaners at the end of the war. Only such small groups can earn long-term profits. The way of bounty is to travel between the mountains and jungles of the Maca plane.
Counting the days, it has been more than two months since the guard battalion left Hailansa City. These days, some knights have died in battle. These frustrating news have been covered by victories. Now that I have calmed down, I realized that Some of the knights left altogether.
Suldak noticed a lot of abandoned buildings along the way. This time the Cerberus Legion's invasion of the Maca plane had a huge impact on Bena Province. The Bena people have been operating in this plane for nearly a hundred years before they opened up a vast territory. This time the Cerberus Legion besieged the city of Wojmara, almost breaking the largest cornerstone established by Duke Newman on the Maca plane.
The journey back to Wojmara City seemed relatively easy even though there were no battles along the way.
But the knights became silent instead, perhaps because some people felt homesick, and the team sang the popular ballad of Hailansa City:
‘Singing, let’s sing together! '
'Sing the sun, the stars, the moon, the mist, the rain, and the sky. '
'Sing the sun on the new shoots, the dew on the feathers, the wind on the open hills, the flowers of the smoked heather. '
'Sing the honeysuckle in the oak forest, the water lily in the mountain spring. '
‘Like the daughter of Prince Angelbald and the Elven Princess! '
