Chapter 1202: 1189. The wounded in the camp
Chapter 1202 1189. The wounded in the camp
In the afternoon, the Qiaotou camp was very lively. Many adventure groups brought back some hunted monsters from outside the camp. The whole camp looked like a large slaughterhouse.
There are skinners everywhere who peel the skin, cut the meat, and divide the body of the red ants. After the hard skin is peeled off, they have to be soaked in the acid solution of the red ants for two days to soften it completely before spreading it on the ground. Drying on wooden boards.
After drying, the red ant leather with ghost pattern is very smooth, but it is also hard.
Such hard carapace is easier to transport, and the peeled red ant meat can also be dried in the sun, and the claws and acid poison sacs of the ghost-striped red ant are also purchased by special personnel.
Now, the trade of ghost-striped red ants and monster materials in Dodan Town has evolved into an industrial chain, and almost every bit of material on the body will not be wasted. If there were so many merchants in Dodan Town when the beast tide broke out Those ghost-striped red ant carcasses piled up outside the city walls may bring more wealth to the town of Dodan.
I heard that the ghost-striped red ants were forced by the adventure group to dare not run out of the poisonous fog in the swamp. Now it seems that a large number of ghost-striped red ants are still captured by the adventure group every day.
Some dried hard armor has already been loaded into the truck, and the dried meat in sacks has also been transported back to Dodan Town.
Suldak changed the magic pattern structure on his body, and walked around the camp without any followers.
Not far away, I saw a skinner who was cutting translucent fresh meat. More than half of the hard carapace of the ghost-striped soldier ants had been peeled off on the meat table.
The skinning technique is very skillful. Seeing Suldak standing behind and watching, he cut off half of the red ant's leg thick as an arm and handed it over.
"Take it back and taste it. The red ant meat from this part tastes best when grilled." The skinner enthusiastically said to Suldak.
Suldak waved his hand. As long as he is a warrior who has experienced the beast tide, no one would be willing to eat this kind of jelly-like meat.
Seeing the skinner's slashing technique, Suldak pulled out the skinning knife and said to the skinner, "You can try to cut here and along this dark line, so that you can cut at least You can peel five ghost-striped red ants in a row without sharpening your knife."
The skinner followed the cutting point pointed out by Suldak, and the skinning knife silently cut into the hard armor, and it really felt a lot easier.
After he peeled off the hard armor, he raised his head to thank Suldak, but found that Suldak had left quietly.
Surdak walked on the edge of the camp, boarded a high lookout tower, looked up and saw the rocs in the sky constantly flying south, it seemed that their predation area was extending south, and the Invercargill Forest In the south is the northern occupied area of the Bainar Province in the Bailin Plane. This area is full of pastures and small towns.
The Pengniao clan here dominates the sky of the Bailin plane, so that there is no magic airship in the Bailin plane.
But for a long time, the rocs rarely flew over the Thorny Mountain.
Suldak guessed that the ghost-striped red ants in the Dark Worm Valley were hunted by the adventure group in large numbers, so that the ghost-striped red ants usually hid in the caves. Hunts in the grasslands south of the Thorn Mountains.
As Invercargill Forest was developed little by little, many negative effects were revealed little by little.
Ghost pattern red ant leather has now become an industrial chain in the northern area of the Bailin plane, and a large number of leather goods have been sent to Bena City.
But now... Suldak found that on the high platform of the watchtower, there were also two bed crossbows installed at a pitch angle of 90 degrees that could shoot into the sky.
It seems that the Peng Bird should have attacked the bridgehead camp...
…
Andrew and Tago returned to the camp with a team of cavalry, they failed to catch the slave hunting adventure group this time.
Probably knew that the garrison camp punished the slave-hunting adventure group this time, and they had to hang it on a wooden cross outside the camp and expose it to the scorching sun.
The members of the adventure group were forced to a cliff in the Great Rift Valley by the cavalry who came to round them up. All the members of the adventure group would rather jump off the cliff to fight for a way out than to be captured without a fight.
Seeing the members of the adventure group jumping into the raging gorge one after another, some of them were unlucky and fell directly to death on the rocky shoal, Andrew felt a little inexplicably irritated.
Back at the camp, Surdak was waiting in the barracks.
The wolf rider Tiger immediately stepped forward and said to Suldak:
"Boss, when did you arrive?"
"It's almost noon."
Suldak saw Andrew sitting aside angrily, so he asked him:
"What happened to you here?"
Andrew told Suldak about the slave-catching group jumping off the cliff.
Suldak nodded and said:
"I guess it won't take long for this matter to spread in this area, and it is estimated that those slave catchers will be able to restrain themselves by then."
Andre saw that Suldak did not mention the ghost-striped red ants, so he asked Suldak:
"Boss, haven't you seen Bob Cobden here?"
Suldak looked puzzled, and asked: "Bob Cobden, who is he?"
"A member of the adventure group who was seriously injured..." Andrew replied casually.
Then lifted the curtain of the barracks, and shouted towards the outside of the garrison camp: "Who is the squadron leader who is staying in the camp today?"
Not long after, a squadron leader ran in and saluted Andrew.
Andrew pulled Suldak out of the barracks at this time, and angrily yelled at the bewildered squadron leader:
"Kingsley, what happened to you? Didn't I say that the Commander must report to Bob Cobden immediately when he arrives at the Bridgehead Camp?"
The squadron leader named Kingsley immediately explained:
"Captain, the adventure group in the camp in the afternoon wanted to use various channels to rescue the members of the adventure group who were hanging on the wooden cross outside. I have been dealing with this matter, and I haven't had time to report it to the Commander. "
Andrew pushed Kingsley aside, grabbed Suldak's arm, and said, "Boss, follow me!"
The Kingsley squadron leader was pushed back two steps by Andrew, and followed up from behind without saying a word.
Andrew led Suldak through the camp and came outside a tent. Without even saying hello, he opened the curtain of the tent and walked in.
There was a faint smell of blood and sour liquid inside the tent. There was a felt blanket on the floor, and an injured member of the adventure group was lying on the blanket wrapped in bandages, looking like a mummy.
Andreu squatted next to the member of the adventure group, nodded to the members of the adventure group, and said hello, and then said to Suldak: "Boss, this person is Bob Cobden."
Suldak saw that there was only one member of the adventure group left in the tent, probably to take care of the wounded.
Walked forward, only to find that the wounded lying on the carpet seemed to have been corroded by the sour liquid of ghost-striped red ants, and some blood oozes from the hemostatic bandage wrapped around his body.
There is also an empty bottle of high-quality healing potion on the shelf beside it.
This kind of advanced healing potion is not something that can be bought in remote areas like Dodan Town. I remember that Andrew should have two bottles in stock, which he brought back from the big battlefield. He glanced at Andrew. Bob Cobden deserves to be treated by Andrew with a bottle of high-quality healing potion.
In addition to the healing potion, there are also some antidote bottles next to it.
Bob Cobden was lying on the carpet, breathing quickly and weakly. If there was no other treatment, he might die in a short time.
Suldak pulled off a hemostatic bandage, and the skin inside had begun to rot.
The members of the adventure group standing by looked at their companions sadly...
Suldak didn't ask any questions. He squatted down, raised his hand, condensed a ball of holy light, and then dropped it on the top of Bob Cobden's head.
The Holy Light technique has the power to purify the rotten liquid, and groups of holy light fell down, and Bob Cobden's condition was slowly improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The man's rapid panting turned into a gentle groan. It could be seen that the pain in his body was still going on, but he was finally able to cry out.
Andrew looked at Suldak. Even if they didn't speak, they could understand the meaning in each other's eyes even if they made eye contact.
Andrew was asking Suldak: ‘Is this man still alive? '
Suldak then nodded and said: ‘This man can still be saved. '
Andrew didn't say anything, he patted his companion who was guarding Bob Cobden, and said to him, "Let's go outside and wait!"
Only Suldak was left in the tent. Suldak set out the sacrificial altar, summoned the double-faced demon god, and swiftly sacrificed the head of a hellhound.
A beam of light fell on Bob Cobden.
The 'Divine Blessed Body' fell on him, and the sudden strong recovery power made Bob Cobden more sober.
Suldak blessed himself with the power of the 'Eye of Reality' through the head of the hellhound, and then saw the situation inside through layers of bandages. Bob Cobden's body surface was almost completely covered with acid. The liquid corroded, as if the whole person fell into the acid pool.
The recovery power of the Blessed Body is very effective for him, but if he wants to improve his injury, he may have to pay a higher price.
The high-level sacrifices that Suldak brought out from the battlefield can be said to be one less, and it is almost difficult to replenish them here.
But judging from Andrew's attitude, he should save the member of the adventure group in front of him by himself.
I had no choice but to take out another demon warrior's head from the magic sealing box as a sacrifice, and a stronger holy light fell on Bob Cobden's body.
'Tyrants'
As long as there is still a breath, people will not die in the super-body state.
Seeing that Bob Cobden had calmly passed out again, Suldak began to carefully cut off the hemostatic bandage on his body, and then began to clean up the pus and blood from the festering places all over his body.
"Prepare some clean water and a new hemostatic bandage." Suldak shouted to the outside of the tent.
Not long after, the squadron leader named Kingsley stood outside the tent with a basin of clear water and asked cautiously, "Can I come in?"
Suldak went to the door and took the water basin, blocking him out of the tent.
After cleaning up, almost all the acid left on his body was washed away, and the wound was re-bandaged before he walked out of the tent with a wooden basin.
The member of the adventure group who was waiting outside immediately got into the tent to check on Suldak's treatment.
Suldak poured out the blood in the basin, saw that Kingsley Squadron Leader was still waiting outside the tent, and asked strangely, "Where's Andrew?"
"The captain is dealing with the members of the slave-hunting adventure group outside the camp..." the squadron leader Kingsley answered honestly.
Kingsley is a veteran brought by Suldak from the barren land. He joined the cavalry battalion at the beginning because of his rich combat experience, but he had some hidden diseases in his body. After receiving body treatment, not only did his body recover as before, but he was actually promoted to a first-rank warrior, and accepted Suldak's colonization of the magic pattern.
Now he is a squadron leader in the cavalry battalion.
Suldak patted him on the shoulder and told him: "Go! Call Andrew back..."
…
With a whip in his hand, Andrew strode into the barracks and placed the whip in a corner of the barracks.
Suldak was sitting with Tago, Gulitum, and Bonita, shaving meat from a yellow sheep that was roasted brown, and the Frostwolf was also enjoying the treatment of roast meat, instead of eating leftovers meaty bones.
After getting along with each other for a long time, everyone discovered that this Frostwolf possessed the same wisdom as an adult except that it could not speak the Imperial language.
Moreover, his performance in battle earned him the respect of everyone in the team, and he also gained the right to eat with everyone.
Tago took a knife, cut off a piece of bloodshot meat, put it on Bonita's plate, and gave Andrew an empty plate.
Andrew didn’t dislike it either, so he cut off a piece of meat where it was scorched, sprinkled some salt casually, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Andrew, don't be too extreme with those slave-hunting adventure groups, just let them know our attitude." Suldakna and the table knife said.
Andrew snorted.
Seeing Andrew's disapproving expression, Suldak continued: "You have to give them some time, some things need to be subtly changed. In many places in the Grimm Empire, slave hunting is legal. I'm afraid many adventure groups are I don't understand why we want to ban slavery..."
"So we want to publicize that even if the capture of slaves harms my interests, it is equivalent to usurping my property, and restricting them with imperial laws from the standpoint of nobles."
"Rather than means of extreme profiteering..."
Seeing that Suldak had said so much, Andrew said impatiently: "Got it, boss, I'll listen to you in this matter!"
"By the way, how is Bob Cobden doing?" Andrew asked after taking a sip of the ale.
Suldak nodded to Andrew, and said: "I have used all the means that should be used. If there is no accident, it should get better tomorrow morning. Andrew, is he your friend?"
Andrew was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and replied: "No..."
