Lord Highlander

It was very dark.

A row of pine oil torches were lit on the top of the city, vaguely reflecting the silhouettes of the knights on duty at the top of the city.

Suldak pushed open the wooden door of the treatment room and sent away the last seriously injured guard. Most of the first night in Wojmara City had been spent quietly. Claire expressed his thanks.

Under Karl's persuasion, the injured city guards waiting in front of the treatment room were finally willing to leave first with the number plate written by Karl himself.

When the sun rises, the place will become busy again, and Suldak only has two or three hours to take a nap. Fortunately, he has the 'Divine Blessed Body', and his physical strength and energy can be recovered quickly enough. Walked to the front of the 'Water Gathering' magic rune board, took a glass of water and took a sip of warm water.

The thin army blanket on the hospital bed was already soaked in blood, making it impossible to lie on it.

He took out a red-eyed hyena skin sleeping bag from his magic pocket, spread it out on the floor of the warehouse, then took off the heavy magic pattern armor on his body, wiped it carefully, and stored it in the space of the magic pocket Among them, this set of 'Earth Shield' magic pattern armor is the most valuable thing on Suldak.

The two horse lanterns hanging on the wall exude soft light, and the room is not bright.

Suldak was lying on the ground wearing a linen shirt. Perhaps he was a little too excited during the day's battle. He couldn't fall asleep lying in his sleeping bag. He felt a little regretful about taking over such a mess. Obviously, the casualties of the city guards It was worse than imagined, most of the guards didn't have any way to deal with the injuries on their bodies other than simple bandaging.

There are certain toxins between the canine teeth and sharp claws of hellhounds, especially the saliva is highly corrosive, and the wounds will fester after a long time and it is difficult to get better unless the carrion can be patiently cleaned up, but many wounds involve When it came to the organs, some injured guards needed to have their limbs amputated. Vozmara's city guards fought bloody battles at the top of the city for seven days and nights. The casualty rate was so high that Suldak alone couldn't handle it.

According to Karl, this time Bena province has gathered a group of mages, including several water magicians who are good at healing and detoxification. It is estimated that the wounded on the side of the city defense army may be relieved to a certain extent after tomorrow.

As for the treatment of city guards this time, since the decision has been made, it should stick to it, Suldak said to himself in his heart.

The treatment room was full of bloody smell, and there was also a sour smell from rotting flesh. In short, the smell in the room was not that pleasant. He felt the signal from the magic notebook in the magic pocket, so he took out the magic notebook. , put in front of who will take the lead.

Cyrus. Hickok Black Mage's magic notebook is automatic without wind, and the pages of the book keep turning backwards until the last page is turned. There is a face of a magical girl on the page, but she is looking at Su seriously this time. Eldak.

"How on earth did you find the magic-weave spirit bone on the Hellhound?" Celia Cooper asked Suldak curiously.

"I can see the magical fluctuations in the hellhound's body," Suldak said.

"Then you...can also see the life magic pattern on the leather of the monster?" Celia Cooper finally realized and asked in surprise.

When Suldak usually hunts monsters, he rarely wastes sacrifices to open the 'Eye of Reality', so he doesn't know. He said uncertainly: "Probably it should be possible, but I don't know if it will be possible. I haven't seen many monsters, but I was in charge of skinning the black devils from the evil spirits on the battlefield of the Warsaw plane."

Celia Cooper smiled and said, "Your skinning technique is really amateurish!"

"..."

Suldak felt that he had nothing to say.

...

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the door of the treatment room in the morning, Suldak crawled out of his sleeping bag and opened the treatment room.

According to the order of last night, there was a long queue at the door of the treatment room again. Suldak simply washed his face beside the clay pot filled with water, and then signaled the injured guards who had been waiting outside to enter the treatment room.

Facing the rising sun, Suldak saw a familiar figure appearing on the stone steps of the city wall. The slender and tall half-elf archer wrapped his hands tightly and slowly climbed up to the top of the city again. Arrow tower, among the archers standing on the archery tower again, he grasped a forest bow that looked like a light green vine, and glanced towards Suldak as if aware of it.

After a whole day of fierce fighting, Suldak also climbed to the top of the city to participate in the battle three times in a row.

The tempo of the Hellhound attacking the city was much tighter than yesterday, and without yesterday's sporadic climb up to the top of the city, their actions appeared more unified, and their fighting will was stronger. Almost all the Hellhounds that climbed up the top of the city first It is not to kill the city guard knights immediately, but to use their lives to buy precious time for the hell dogs behind.

They pounced on the guard camp knight almost without any scruples, and the hell dogs behind also rushed up one after another. The offensive was like a sea tide. The waves in front were smashed on the reef, and the hell dogs behind continued A wave of hell dogs rushed forward, and if the knights at the top of the city couldn't deal with the first batch of hell dogs in time, they would be instantly overwhelmed by the next ones.

Karl and the squad leaders in the support squadron could not resist this ferocious offensive, even with the support of the archers on the archery tower.

Suldak was wearing the 'Earth Shield' magic-pattern armor and stood in the middle of the human wall with a dwarf chain shield in his hand. The halo of power under his feet made his companions around him feel a steady stream of power. They are knights with a 'power halo', but their fighting style is still derived from the way of the shield warriors of the heavy armored infantry regiment, standing like a cornerstone on the top of the city.

Perhaps because there were two constructed knights in the support squadron, the defense line at the Hailansa Guard Battalion was considered one of the squadrons with the least casualties.

Every time the offensive eased slightly, Suldak would silently walk down the city wall and quickly devote himself to the work of treating the wounded guards. Obviously, every wounded soldier who came to ask Suldak for treatment would carry a hell The head of the vicious dog, but it is indeed much less useful than yesterday. Suldak's reward is still the corpse of the hell dog.

But I don’t know if it’s bad luck, or the corpse of the hellhound has been left for too long. Those magic bones have melted away with the flesh and blood of the hellhound. Bone dog carcass.

After a day of hard work, the Hailansa Guard Battalion finally suffered casualties, and just as the knights stood at the top of the city for a whole day and night, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, the defense section of the Hailansa Guard Battalion also welcomed the city defense command. The defense order was changed, and the Knights of the Guard Battalion from Constantinople replaced the Knights of the Guard Battalion of Hailansa who stood on the city wall all day and night.

The Archer Battalion and the Knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion switched defenses at the same time.

At the same time, two carriages transporting military supplies also arrived at the base of the city. The auxiliary soldiers of the logistics department began to unload some arrows from the carts and carried them to the arrow tower at the top of the city. However, there were still no more important kerosene and supplies. Rolling Stones.

The knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion silently withdrew from the city wall defense section, and Suldak seemed to be forgotten in the treatment room. When the guard battalion withdrew, they did not bring him back to the temporary camp in the city. The only thing that can prove that he was tacitly allowed to stay here is that the Hailansa Guard Battalion arranged an assistant for him.

When the sky gradually darkened, the guard battalion knights of Constantinople were slowly adapting to the role of guarding the city wall on the top of the city wall. A tall figure was carrying a green vine forest bow, dragging his tired body from the top of the city wall. Walking down, this time there are three more hellhound heads on his waist than yesterday.

He didn't line up either, and walked into the treatment room without a word, and then Suldak saw that his bandage-wrapped arm was even more exaggeratedly swollen than yesterday.

"You need a little time to rest. If you don't want to lose this arm, do what I say from now on. Your arm is in very bad condition. My treatment can help you recover quickly, but it can't connect the broken arm. Lost meridians!" Suldak warned the half-elf archer.

But obviously he didn't listen to Suldak's words, and the half-elf archer left the treatment room without a word.

...

On the evening of the third day after arriving in Wojmara City, it was the turn of the Hailansa Guard Battalion to climb up the city wall to change defense after a day of rest.

The support squadron led by Karl continued to guard this section of the city wall. Karl saw the corpses of hellhounds piled up at the door of Suldak's treatment room, so he had to lead people to clean up the corpses of these hellhounds.

Seeing that Suldak still didn't show signs of fatigue, he could only sigh:

'I now know...you really have the qualifications to come back alive from the Battle of Moyunling. Inside your body is a giant ice bear that can walk in a snowstorm for a month without getting tired. '

Suldak took the barbecue from Karl, swallowed it in three or two bites, then wiped his hands and continued the rescue work.

For two consecutive days, the number of wounded guards in Vozmara City did not decrease, but some wounded guard battalion knights also joined the wounded team.

During this period, two water-type magicians also came to Suldak on a special trip. Seeing him, he had awakened the perception of sacred magic elements, and had initially mastered the holy light technique. He did have some healing methods, and there was a beautiful female magician The master offered to invite him to join the healing team composed of seven water magicians.

This kind of treatment team, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the War Command, enjoys the generous resources of the Maca Plane War Command. It not only has special guards to protect the safety of the healing magicians, but also a dedicated field hospital.

However, Suldak was not moved by the eloquent invitation of the female magician. He decisively rejected the good-looking female magician because the soldier had no plans to leave the Hailansa guard camp.

For several days in a row, the half-elf archer would appear in front of Suldak on time in the evening and receive special treatment from Suldak, but the injury on his arm was getting worse, according to Suldak That is, his right arm looks like a rotten cantaloupe, the skin on the outside looks intact, but the blood vessels that are constantly bursting inside are about to rot, and I don’t know how he uses this arm. The arm stretched the forest bow.

However, every time Suldak was on duty at the top of the city, this half-elf archer would give the most effective support. His archery skills were very precise, and almost every arrow could hit the hellhound's eyes. The most vulnerable part of the Hellhound's body, I have to say that the elves' archery talent is really unique.

It only took two days for Karl to successfully investigate the details of the half-elf archer. After all, investigating unknown incidents is the old profession of the guard battalion knights.

In fact, this half-elf archer is quite well-known in the circle of mercenaries and regiments in Wojmara City. Compared with his excellent archery skills, the evaluations given by the mercenary union and the adventure union are terrible. Yes, the two unions gave the half-elf archer the lowest evaluation of the union.

And the mercenary union also wrote very straightforwardly in the comments: Don't be blinded by his excellent archery skills, stay away from him, he is a thief!

There are similar words in the comments of the Adventurer's Union, but the tone is a little more tactful: He is an excellent archer and guide, when you cooperate with him, you should fasten your wallet tighter.

Suldak didn't expect that he would pay attention to a thief, and was stunned for a moment.

With solid evidence in his hand, Karl asked him curiously: "What do you want to do after spending so much time investigating a thief? And you seem to take special care of him. Do you like... elves?"

Seeing Karl's eyes shining with fire of gossip, Suldak wished to smash him into panda eyes with a punch.

"I'm just curious about him. What kind of belief is it that caused his arm to be injured like that, and he insisted on participating in the war! Ordinarily with his ability, life shouldn't have to be so embarrassing!" Suldak gently Sighing deeply, he said, "If he participates in the battle again, that arm will be completely useless. I want to find a reason for him to do so."

Karl curled his lips in disdain, and said indifferently: "What if you found the answer? Do you still want to help a thief and completely heal the hidden wounds on his arm? Let him use this weapon in the future. Continue to steal things?"

"..."

Suldak was speechless by Karl, but he always felt that this matter was not that simple.

...

The low-level hellhounds of the demons and the human defenders are in a stalemate in Wojmara City, consuming a lot of supplies every day.

The Wozmara City War Command is planning a counter-offensive operation. Almost every day, some magicians riding magic scorpions fly out of the city. They try to get out of the dense forest along the hellhounds and trace back to the hidden place. Hell connection channel.

The hell demons procrastinated on the Maca plane, so that the devil's son and the succubus could grow up. When the knights of the Hailansa Guard Battalion climbed the city wall for the third time, they saw a three-headed hellhound standing on a huge rock on a hill far outside the city, surrounded by several huge hellhounds .

It is like the king of hellhounds, staring at the city of Wojmara in the twilight...
