lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
Till the end of the battle, counting the wounded, more than 30 soldiers suffered cuts and corrosion injuries to varying degrees, while the death toll was 17.
Most of them were killed by the sharp claws of sand worms. Although their acid was quite terrifying, they were fortunately blocked by the soldiers' armors and shields.
The one who counted the number of injuries was a young guard from the Guards, with red and swollen eyes, and reported the number of casualties to Aslan and Locke.
Among the dead soldiers, the Imperial Guard and the Dark Guard each accounted for half.
The former is because it blocks the first line of the sand worm’s offensive tide, and the latter is because the dark guards who only wear leather armor face the acid spray from the sand worm, which will corrode a large piece of flesh. .
Aslan commanded the soldiers to clean the battlefield and cremated the bodies of the soldiers who had just died. They have the responsibility to bring these ‘dead’ soldiers back to China in the future.
Angelina also stepped out of the carriage later and expressed condolences to the soldiers who had just gone through the hard fight. But soon, she was invited back to the carriage by the stubborn Captain of the Guard. Although these sand worms had been withdrawn, it was difficult to guarantee Will they be killed again.
Except for the soldiers who are busy, the magicians in the team are not idle. Everyone takes out bottles and jars from their magic robes. Some are powder, some are green liquid, just like that. After pouring around the camp, the liquid immediately volatilized into gas. With the powder, a pungent smell that couldn't be melted filled the surroundings.
Although several magicians did not say, Locke guessed that this should be a potion to drive away demonized creatures.
The wind and sand are gradually rising, and the big storm that belongs to the Tucson desert at night is coming again. During this period, Locke has not experienced much.
Just when Locke was about to give orders to the soldiers to find a place to hide in the sand, several magicians approached the door.
"Captain Locke." This is an old man with a thick white beard. With long white eyebrows floating down, and a kind expression, it seems that the magician is easy to talk, and in fact it is.
"What's the matter? Master Anter." Locke asked. The white-browed magician was the only one among the six magicians in the envoy who had communicated more with him.
"We hope that your soldiers can help us collect the carapace and acid sacs of these sand moths." Old Mage Ante said.
These magicians are not affiliated with the army, but are supported by the Faustin royal family, so although their status is aloof, they have no command over the soldiers.
The wind and sand are coming, and a strong hurricane visible to the naked eye is approaching their convoy. Locke hesitated to let the soldiers take the risk and collect these ‘useless’ things for these magicians. Is it worth it?
Ante saw Locke's hesitation, and then said, "We can exchange silver coins, or potions." Ante winked at Locke.
Interesting old man, Locke smiled.
"All soldiers! Now that you have nothing to do with your hands, go and collect the stumps of sand moth!" Locke shouted, "Go!"
Everyone knew that Locke was the third person in the convoy. There was no rebuttal, and the soldiers quickly moved into action.
The wind and sand will not have time for the soldiers to tell which is the sand borer's carapace and which is the sand borer's acid sac. Collect them all and let these magicians sort them by themselves.
Aslan did not raise any objections at this time. He was also busy. The cyan sand moth that was frozen by Mage Nolan was being carried back by him. It was full of half-human worms, Luo Guang It looks a little hairy.
Through the ice crystals, Locke can clearly see every burr on the eight legs of the cyan sand moth, plus the petal-like, split mouth and countless jagged teeth inside. Locke is worried that she will look again. Will spit out in a while.
Immediately before the sandstorm came, the soldiers collected every piece of sand borer that they could see, and then leaned on a carriage, hid in a leeward place, and got into their sleeping bags.
Since entering the desert of Ritucson, the convoy has no tents, and the soldiers have each distributed a sleeping bag.
Tonight's sandstorm was a bit bigger than the sandstorm of the previous nights, and the intensity of the sandstorm was only a little bit smaller in the early morning of the next day.
As the sun reappeared above the horizon, the soldiers who had been buried in the wind and sand all night came out again.
The three-meter-high carriage, after only one night, the carriage has completely sunk into the sand.
Early morning and evening are the best times of the day in the Tucson Desert. The servants in the convoy began to cook for the nobles, and the soldiers pushed the carriage buried under the sand to the ground again.
Locke opened the curtains and jumped out of the carriage, he didn't have to squeeze in a sleeping bag like the soldiers. With so many carriages, one could always be free for him.
Not only Locke didn’t sleep well, I’m afraid there was no one who slept well in the entire convoy last night. The sudden attack of sand moths let them know that in addition to the harsh environment in the Tucson Desert, there are many hidden in the dark. The creature is about to move.
Talked with Aslan about the aftermath of the dead and wounded soldiers, Locke then went to Ante.
The ground was covered with sand again, as if before, who would have thought that a thrilling battle took place not long ago.
Knocked on the carriage where Ante lived, and Locke stood quietly outside waiting.
The old man Ante should have just gotten up, and Locke outside the carriage only heard a vague mumble. After a long time, Ante, wearing a nightgown, opened the door of his carriage.
"Master Ante is so cozy!" Locke laughed. After only a few hours, the old magician put on his nightgown and went to bed. You must know that Locke, who was always nervous last night, He fell asleep in armor.
Ante ignored Locke's teasing, "Come in!" With a wave of his hand, he got into the carriage first.
Locke then bends in.
The wagon of the Ante magician is more like a small alchemy laboratory. Many reagents that Locke cannot name are placed on a wooden table in the wagon. The thin quilt and pillow should be where Ante sleeps.
"This is the reward!" Ante threw a very heavy money bag to Locke. Locke opened it and looked at it. They were all Silver Delers, roughly three hundred.
"And this!" Ante took out three light red potions from under the wooden table and handed them to Locke, "Red sand potion, promise!"
Locke took it, and took a closer look at the potion in his hand. The name of'Red Sand Potion'. Locke had heard of Uncle Yoshak a long time ago. Among these knights who practice fighting spirit, it is very popular. Of medicine.
Not only can it slightly increase the speed of fighting qi training, but it can also explode beyond 30% of the strength in battle, and the sequelae is not small, but this can't stop the knights from seeking this medicine.
As soon as he got the two things, Master Ante began to send off the guests. As soon as Locke got out of the carriage, the sound of closing the door behind him sounded. It seemed that the magician was either going to take his sleep or to do his experiment.
In the end, the three hundred silver Delers were all assigned to the soldiers by Locke. Although the treatment of the Janissaries and the Guards was good, the salary of 5 silver Delers per month was the highest. This accident Although the wealth is not much, no one refuses.
Red sand potion, Locke gave him several team captains that he usually greeted. These team leaders have high or low strength, ranging from middle-level attendants to low-level attendants. They have been with Locke for so long, and Locke also Don't treat them badly.
As for how they allocate it, it doesn’t matter to Locke.
He has long known that the sequelae of red sand medicament are extremely serious. In addition to causing a short period of weakness to the user, it will also cause some irreversible damage to the body. Locke will take the medicament in the future, and he will definitely prefer no side effects or The medicine with small side effects, red sand medicine is not in his consideration.
After a round of inspection, Locke returned to Angelina's carriage.
Angelina is playing with her unhatched familiar.
Dozens of purple scales are placed around a blue-gray dome, which is one meter high and shining with a faint light.
Angelina put her ear on the dome and said to Locke excitedly: "My pet is talking to me!"
Locke is speechless, "This is still an egg, how can I talk to you?"
"This is a spiritual communication unique to a magician, you don't understand!" Angelina rolled her eyes.
Locke put his hand on the wall of the dome, and there was a strong beating from the dome. At this time, Locke believed that this little scorpion dragon might hatch.
"How long is it?" Locke asked.
"About two months." Angelina signed a mental contract with her familiar, which can roughly estimate the date of breaking the shell.
