my age of magic

Chapter 1256 60. Alia's Worries
Before leaving the plane of Hierro, the 450 barbarian slaves who remained on the plane of Hierro were divided into two teams, led by Justus and Bernd respectively.

Justus led more than 200 barbarian slaves to the eastern area of ​​Green Valley to clean up the giant spiders and spider warriors who fled from the northern spider camp to the depths of Green Valley.

Bernd led more than 200 other barbarian slaves to the western area of ​​Green Valley to contain the spider warriors in the spider camp in the west of Green Valley, and also cooperated with the armed Yero natives in the Green Valley jungle. Hunt giant spiders inside.

And Kalancuo returned to the Trum camp with more than a hundred orc warriors, and was responsible for eliminating the Nebru spiders who were trying to infiltrate into the Trum area.

But life is always full of unexpected things. I thought that the situation in Green Valley had gradually stabilized. This trip to the plane of Hierro would be a pleasant trip to the plane. I even invited Ellie Ya also came with me to the plane of Yero, and assured her that it was very safe here, and everyone would spend a happy weekend here.

It's just that I didn't expect that the first news I received after arriving at the plane of Yero was bad news.

The barbarian slave team led by Bernd was so bold as to cover the retreat of a tribe of Yero natives, he was so bold as to confront the four spider warlords head-on. The green passage opened by the elves to escape the pursuit of the spider warriors.

Bernd and more than 200 barbarian slaves have been pursuing the strategy of supporting war with war in the Hierro plane.

Because barbarian slaves prefer to eat juicy juicy giant spider legs compared to those baked wheat cakes and canned luncheon meat.

After we destroyed the northern spider camp in the Green Valley, Bernd believed that there were a large number of giant spiders roaming in the Green Valley, and there should be no shortage of food. The Black Forest on the Yero plane is in summer, and the climate is warm and rainy. There is nowhere to store so many materials, so there are not many materials left.

Barbarian warriors are prone to develop colorful ringworm in the hot and humid environment. He was hunting in the Green Valley Forest. Apart from the necessary black iron heavy armor and heavy crossbow, he was covered with a piece of cloth. None.

As a result, after the barbarian warriors experienced the defeat of this battle, in the absence of magic crossbows and food and circumstances, the dwarf Bernd had no chance of making a comeback.

Without the help of the ancient tree of war and the dryad, Bernd and the barbarian warriors would not be able to get rid of the pursuit of the four spider warlords.

When Bernd told me about this incident, he was constantly annoyed, bluntly saying that he was too careless to cause the battle to fail.

I patted Bernd on the shoulder and said to him: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. If I were in place, I might not be able to handle this matter better than you."

Bernd shook his head irritably, followed behind me, and said to me: "I would like to lead the soldiers out of the battlefield earlier."

Bernd and I walked through the barbarian crowd and briefly checked the injuries of these barbarians. Although these barbarian fighters suffered injuries of varying degrees, with their strong physique, some of the slightly injured The barbarian's wounds are almost completely healed now.

A barbarian slave had a bandage on his arm. He took off the bandage and examined the wound carefully. A black iron spear pierced a bowl-sized wound on his arm. I washed his wound with some salt water again. After a while, he used silk thread to suture his open wound, and then performed a 'hydrotherapy' on him, and re-wrapped him with a hemostatic bandage.

As I tended the wounds of the wounded savage slaves, I said to Bernd: "Since we have formed an alliance with these natives, it is a bit rash to lend a helping hand to them when their homes are destroyed." , but your decision is correct."

I motioned for the next barbarian warrior to come over here, and two barbarian slaves came up carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher lay a barbarian slave with a wounded thigh.

I then said to him Bernd: "The problem is that we are a little bit proud and complacent. The consecutive victories we have won during this period have made us somewhat underestimate this group of Nibru spidermen and rely too much on the power of those giant crossbow bolts. There is no clear answer." Recognize the horrors of the Spider Overseer."

Bernd took out a flat wine bottle from his arms, and took a sip. His eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he hadn't slept much recently.

I asked Bernd, "Any news about Justus?"

"I've already asked the dryads to pass on the news from this side, and the information from the other side is that Justus is on his way back." Bernd's voice had become a little hoarse, and even his voice He looked so tired: "Three days ago, Kalancuo just sent Deborah to the Green Valley. It is estimated that the Trum camp already knows the current situation of the Green Valley."

I nodded to Bernd, and with the sound of my incantation, a magic circle with the pattern of eyeballs appeared on my chest, and then silently sank into Bernd's forehead.

This is 'hypnotism', I used it on some spider warriors in the reeds of the Hierro plane.

Bernd looked at me blankly, apparently he didn't know what this magic could do.

I said to him: "Since Justus and Kalanzo have received the news here, they should arrive soon. Before they arrive, the most important thing we need to do is to rest Audi. Make a plan on how to teach those arrogant Nibru tribe spidermen a lesson."

Seeing that some color had recovered in his eyes, I suddenly stretched out my finger, shook it in front of him, and said: "You should have a good sleep now, and when you wake up, you must regain your strength and recover what we lost. The belief in victory and the courage to fight will be regained."

Before my words fell, the dwarf Bernd fell down with a thud, snoring like thunder.

The barbarian slaves sat in twos and threes on the twisted roots of the giant pine to rest.

A barbarian slave captain nailed a water-gathering rune board to a tree, and the clear water flowed out from the funnel under the rune board. They took off their heavy helmets, filled a helmet with clean water, and drank freely. Then these barbarian slaves would go around the tail of the line and refill a helmet with clean water. They gathered the helmet over their heads and let the clean water pour down on their heads.

The female orcs took out some baked wheat cakes and meat floss bricks from Xinliu Valley. The barbarian slaves were probably starving, and the barbarian slaves who received the baked wheat cakes did not wait to find a place to sit down. Holding the wheat cakes in their hands, they just stood there and wolfed down the wheat cakes in their hands.

Set up more than a dozen large iron pots in the forest, and set up a fire under the iron pot. When the water splashes, use a dagger to cut the layer of oil paper on the outside of the meat floss bricks, and throw the meat floss bricks into the boiling water pot. The thick soup is boiled like this.

To my surprise, these savage slaves who love meat know how to add a kind of arbor shoots that can be seen everywhere in the Black Forest to the soup pot, and the soup pot exudes a faint mint aroma, slightly bitter The breath is very unique.

Bundles of brand-new dual-attribute giant crossbow arrows were carried out from the underground warehouse by the female orcs, and the magic crossbow arrows were distributed to these barbarian slave warriors with empty quiveres.

Twenty or so female dwarf artisans walked out of the portal, carrying a full set of tools and began to repair the heavy crossbows in the hands of the barbarian slaves one by one. These heavy crossbows can only maintain their great power through regular inspection and maintenance.

"Jijia, we came here at a bit of an inopportune time." Alia sat down beside me, her face pale, and she said in a low voice: "It is said that women should stay away from the battlefield, maybe it is because my arrival brought you bad luck , so that you suffered a failure."

"That battle happened a few days ago, what can it have to do with the two of you!" I pointed to the hemostatic bandage beside me and motioned for Alia to hand it to me. She may have never experienced this before and was frightened by such a scene. broken.

Betty quickly picked it up from the box and handed it to me.

I grinned at Aliya and said, "I also want to apologize to you. This trip to the plane did not give you a happy start."

"You don't blame me?" Alia looked at me seriously and asked me.

"Why should I blame you? Is there any reason to blame you?" I wanted to reach out to pat her delicate face, but found that my hand was covered with blood, so I had to take it back.

She let out a long breath, her gaze fell on the barbarian slave resting in the open space, and she said, "To be honest, this is the first time I have come into contact with war so closely."

"Are you a little scared, don't worry, I'm still very strong on the Hierro plane." I said to Alia, and then I started to focus on dealing with the orc wounded in front of me.

Aliya's mood was a little unstable, and her voice was even a little struggling. She said to me: "Ji Jia, do you know what is the biggest difference between you and other nobles?"

I couldn't figure it out and asked, "What? Is it my status as a magician, or is it because I was a commoner before that I didn't receive an aristocratic education? I don't act like an aristocrat?"

My hands have never been idle, checking the injury, cleaning the wound, and performing 'hydrotherapy' in one go.

Aliya was beside me and whispered to me: "If it were someone else, they would look for a reason to explain this failure. Although they are usually gentlemen, their pride makes them unwilling to accept failure. At the same time And old-fashioned thinking, even a noble gentleman like my father is like this, he will attribute this failure to a woman, and will believe that a certain woman brought bad luck to this war, but you think differently , you have no such prejudice."

"In the army of the Green Empire, the number of constructed female knights is a little less, but it is not without it!" I said to Alia: "Does every battle fail, and the reason for the failure must be attributed to the fact that there are members of the team. woman."

It made me think of Katerina, who had been living the military life at Trume stronghold before, and never heard her say these things.

"Women who graduated from the Knight Academy or the Warrior Academy are all recognized by the God of War and will not be counted among them." Aliya said to me.

I asked curiously: "If... I mean, if other nobles brought a woman to a certain plane this time, and encountered such a thing just after entering the plane, what would they do?"

Aliya's face was a bit ugly, and she seemed unwilling to think about these things. She hesitated, but she still said to me: "Perhaps in order to boost the morale of the knights, this woman will be tied to the stake to sacrifice to the war. god."

I couldn't understand, so I asked her: "You mean to burn a woman to death because of the failure of a battle?"

I raised my hand to Betty who was beside me, and Betty immediately came over, took off the water bag from her waist, and helped me wash the blood stains on my hands.

I didn't care about the dripping water on my hand, grabbed Alia's hand, and said to her: "This kind of thinking is too old, and it is estimated that few people believe it now, and the gods are not involved in this war of planes." Did not stand on our side, otherwise the oracle would not be sent down, restricting the freedom of movement of those priests and battle priests, and watching our soldiers die without effective treatment on the battlefield."

As I spoke, I stitched up the barbarian slave's wound.

Alicia looked at the barbarian slave lying in front of me, watching me clumsily stitch up a foot-long wound on the barbarian slave's leg with a needle and thread, and asked me, "Do you want me to help you?"

I picked up the bloody needle and thread and asked her, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Although I don't know first aid skills, but I am very good at needlework!" Alia said, her mood seemed to be getting better again, and after the trace of worry on her face dissipated, she was charming to me. smiled.

The barbarian slaves have never suffered such a defeat since they entered the plane of Yero. With the heavy crossbow in their hands, they all have an overwhelming advantage in frontal battles with the spider warriors. The Human Overseer was forced to run around in the jungle, and his heart was full of anger.

Now, these barbarian slaves simply ate a full meal, and the arrow slots of the heavy crossbow were filled with new dual-attribute giant crossbow bolts, and they began to become irritable, as if they really wanted to fight back the next moment , give some color to those Nibru spiders who chased them all the way.

Under my compulsion, they took a short rest in the woodland.

After all, after fleeing in the jungle for several days in a row, his physical fitness has dropped to a limit. Only by recovering his physical strength can he pull the bowstring of the heavy crossbow.

Just as we were taking a short rest in the Green Valley jungle, the orc-constructed knights from Kalanzo arrived. They arrived half a day earlier than Justus' barbarian troops...
