Chapter 698 687. Riding
The herdsmen just put the multigrain cakes on the iron spit and put them next to the campfire, trying to use the temperature of the campfire to bake the multigrain cakes into a burnt color.
The water in the iron pot was boiling loudly, and 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 On the wooden board, peel off the skin with a knife, run to the river to clean the internal organs briefly, and throw all the meat with bones into the soup pot, and finally add a little salt.
Two herdsmen are responsible for taking care of the horses by the river, and the other two herdsmen carry the stretcher to the fire.
Several herdsmen sat together with gloomy expressions, as if they wanted to wake up the herdsmen on the stretcher, but after tossing for a long time, they got nothing, even the water for feeding flowed out from the corner of their mouths.
They saw the cavalry battalion not far away. It seems that there are usually many troops and caravans passing by on this road, and the herdsmen didn't seem to care.
Suldak and Selina led Signa over, and a guide followed behind him.
Several herdsmen who were about to have dinner quickly stood up and saluted Surdak awkwardly.
Suldak waved his hand, walked up to the injured herdsman, saw him lying unconscious on a stretcher, squatted down and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"The horses were frightened. Jeb rode forward and wanted to rush to the front and stopped the leading horse, but he was accidentally hung on the rope, fell off the horse, and was trampled by the horses behind. His ribs were broken. We wanted to send him back. In the village." The herdsman said.
Then he added: "The horses can't run anymore, they need to rest and drink water, so let's stop here!"
The imperial language of the herdsmen who spoke was not good, and there were some local aboriginal languages that he could not understand. Fortunately, there was a guide to help translate.
The imperial language spoken by Suldak, these herdsmen did not sound difficult.
Feeling injured The herdsman fell asleep, his breathing was very weak, and his face was as white as a piece of paper.
"Can I see his injury?" Suldak asked the herdsman.
At this time, several herdsmen came over and stared at Surdak, Selena, and Signa warily. One of the herdsmen talked to the guide in the local aboriginal language, and then said:
"Of course, please look, here is the rib broken by the horse."
As he spoke, he lifted the blanket that covered the injured herdsman, and saw that the horse's hoof had stepped on the injured herdsman's chest and saw a fist-sized depression. It seemed that the ribs had collapsed, and his chest was full of bruises and purple marks.
Suldak frowned slightly. At first he thought it was just a broken bone, but he didn't expect that the ribs in his chest were trampled off. The broken ribs were probably inserted into the victim's organs in reverse, which caused the injury in his eyes. .
The herdsman smeared some paste-like green herbs on the wound, which didn't seem to have any effect on the injury.
"He was badly injured, several ribs were broken..."
The herdsman said this. He knew how badly his companion was injured, but he couldn't help much. The other herdsmen were also silent beside him.
Suldak asked: "Are you from the village in front?"
The herdsmen were like a few stupid geese, nodded at the same time, and said in a hurry: "We are all from the village of Desowatz, and the baron of the Goss family hired us to graze their horses."
Suldak glanced at Selina, and asked again: "Is there a wizard in your village?"
The herdsmen shook their heads at the same time.
Selena blinked, and couldn't help but look at the herdsmen twice more.
While speaking, Suldak's palm had gathered a mass of holy light power, like a warm light cluster continuously spreading outward in Suldak's palm, several herdsmen couldn't help but stare. He closed his eyes, staring at the ball of light in Suldak's hand, his eyes changed from surprise to shock.
A herdsman couldn't help exclaiming: "Are you the priest in the temple?"
"No, I'm just a knight leading an army passing by here, and I happen to know some healing methods." Suldak covered the sunken wound of the injured herdsman with his hand, and the injured herdsman seemed to feel a bit of pain in his lethargy, his face A struggling expression appeared on his face.
"His ribs are broken, and the broken ribs are probably pierced into the internal organs. Now I want to cut a wound on his body and take out the broken ribs." Surdak stopped and said to several onlookers.
After finishing speaking, he took out a small skinning knife from his thigh, rubbed it on the belt twice, and cut open the hollow on the herdsman's chest without hesitation. Fortunately, the ribs were not injured. Instead of reaching the heart, it was inserted into the lung lobe, and there were as many as three of them. Surdak pulled out three broken ribs from the chest cavity with his hands, and blood gushed out from the wound immediately, and the herdsman's breathing followed stopped.
Suldak hastily cast the holy light technique again to forcibly heal the wounds of the herdsmen...
At the same time, Suldak said a sentence of 'Nef'...'Sol'...'Ith'.
In the dark night, a magical halo flashed across his throat for an instant.
He hand-painted a magic circle on his chest, which is a set of runes composed of runes.
Among the magic crystals left by the red dragon Lord Johannes, it is a very simple rune language. It took Suldak nearly a month to master its drawing method, and the success rate of each casting is only about 30%, but Fortunately, it was a success this time.
This rune language known as 'brilliance' can give people a series of buff effects such as strengthening themselves, enhancing vitality, transferring 15% damage to the arms, and increasing magic resistance.
Seeing a magical force pouring into the herdsman's body, the herdsman's breathing suddenly became smoother, and his pale face became rosy, so Suldak breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the first time he has combined the runes into a more powerful rune language, and used it to activate the seal, and 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 whole treatment process, the five herdsmen gathered around, watching Suerdak carefully pull his companion back from the hands of the **** of death, seeing his chest recovering, the wound quickly scabbed, and then wrapped with a hemostatic bandage, and finally breathed become stable.
Suldak took out a handkerchief and wiped the sticky plasma on his hands, and said to several herdsmen, "His injury has stabilized for the time being, and it is not suitable to move at the moment. He needs to be observed all night until the condition does not deteriorate until tomorrow morning." If not, his life will be saved."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, and before the herdsmen could thank them, he turned and returned to the cavalry camp.
The five herdsmen were terrified by Suerdak's way of saving people. They watched Suerdak pull out the broken rib from his companion's chest with **** hands, and they were already speechless in amazement. When Suldak left, he even forgot to say some words of thanks for a moment.
Only the horses by the river neighed '咴咴咴'.
Selena returns to the tent with Signa.
After getting into the tent, Selina asked Suldak: "What did you cast just now? That magical power seems to be very powerful."
Suldak tried again to draw a simple rune in front of him, a faint magic halo rose, and then poured into Suldak's body, he took a deep breath, as if feeling the Inexplicable power, explained to Selina: "It is said that it is the holy seal of the knight. I understand it, and it feels good, but the effect lasts a little shorter! But when used in battle, it can instantly increase a person's strength. Son!"
Signa looked up at Suldak, the expression in her eyes was complicated and difficult to understand.
Suldak only stayed in the tent for a while, seeing Selena spreading out the leather mattress in the tent, Suldak said:
"You go to bed early, I will go to the camp to inspect again, the recruits in the cavalry battalion have no experience in wild life, we are in the Bailin plane, we can't make any mistakes, I don't want to just walk out of Wilkes Before long, they will be led back in despair."
Selena knows that Suldak still needs to get in touch with the cavalry battalion recently. After all, his cavalry battalion has not been formed for a long time, and many things have not yet formed a habit.
Selena yawned, helped Signa lay out the blanket, and said to Suldak, "You also go to bed earlier."
…
A silver line lit up on the sky, and the light of dawn spread across the grass.
The leaves of the wild grass are covered with dewdrops, and these dewdrops appear crystal clear in the sun.
Walking in the wild grass, the leather boots touched the grass leaves, and the dewdrops burst in the grass, and the trouser legs would soon be wet.
The horses were still grazing on the **** with their heads bowed. Several herdsmen not far away surrounded the injured herdsman in a small tent, watching him wake up from his lethargy, opened his eyes and asked his companions for water. The herdsmen cheered in unison.
"It's a miracle that Jeb was so badly injured and healed in just one night. I planned to take him back to the village while Jeb was still breathing, and let him take a last look at it." My family, I never expected to rush to the river and meet this Lord Baron, who actually healed Jeb's wound." A herdsman babbled repeatedly, speaking in an aboriginal language.
Another herdsman poured a little water from the clay pot, fed it into the mouth of the injured herdsman with a 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 one of you will go with me?"
Several herdsmen, you 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, thanking Surdak repeatedly.
After dawn, Suldak could see their faces clearly. The complexion of these two herdsmen was as yellow as beeswax, and the interpupillary distance between their eyes was slightly narrower than that of the imperial people. They don't have any special tattoos, but they can be seen from the same thing. They should be the natives of the Bailin plane. The two herdsmen are dressed in rags like beggars, but their bodies are very strong, and their open chests are muscular.
They can speak a lot of simple Grimm Empire language, and when they are eager to answer, they can speak the native language easily.
"Master Baron, thank you for your help."
The old herdsman said that his face was narrow and thin, with deep wrinkles on his face.
Suldak planned to take a tour outside the camp, but when he came out of the camp, he met these two herdsmen who came to express their thanks.
Suldak quickly called the guide over and said to the two herdsmen, "It's not a big deal. It's just within my ability. Whether he can wake up depends on his own will to survive. I have treated many of them. For such a seriously injured number, some people survived and some died, and the help I can give is still very limited."
The old herdsman put his hands on his shoulders, bowed his head to Surdak, and said: "You have helped us, but we don't have any decent gifts for you. If the schedule is convenient, please stop by our village Just a moment, our village is not far from here to the north, it's called Desovots."
Suldak turned his head 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 seems that Suldak 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 recruits in the cavalry battalion.
There are no trees around this grassland at all, and the cavalry don't have the habit of collecting horse manure. Fortunately, before Suldak's trip, he prepared some scrolls of the 'Fire Gathering Technique'. Although the cost of living and cooking is a bit higher Well, fortunately, it is convenient and fast.
After breakfast, the cavalry battalion packed up the camp and set off in line.
The herdsmen also drove the horses and followed behind the cavalry battalion.
They tied the wounded herdsmen to their horses and drove the horses towards the north
Five herdsmen showed the cavalrymen of Suldak what 'riding' is. They rode on bare horsebacks, their bodies were almost integrated with the horseback, and no matter how exaggerated the twisting, they could re- Get back on the horse.
They can drive the horses to sprint twice as fast as the cavalry...
Or let the Gubolai horses trot all the way, adjust the breathing method of the Gubolai horses, so that they will not feel tired after running for a long time. According to the veterans in the cavalry battalion, this is the real "riding skill".
In fact, Suldak didn’t know this either. He had been studying at the Knight Academy for nearly half a year, and he didn’t even know that ‘riding’ included these things.
Aside from the short-handled long whip, several herdsmen only had a long rope hanging around their waists. It is said that this long rope was used to lasso horses.
They were swinging the rope on the grass, throwing it casually into the horses, and they could wrap around the neck of a Gubolai horse. This kind of ability made the cavalry in the cavalry battalion very envious.
Along the way, watching the performances of several herdsmen, near noon, the cavalry battalion rushed to the village of Desowatz.
