Chapter 103: Saledo the Elf
Camp.
"Sir, in this battle, a total of nineteen people were wounded, three of them were seriously injured and three were killed, namely the shield warrior Draco, the heavy sword warrior Simon, and the heavy sword warrior Henry, and the body has been collected." Reporting to Rollin was the lieutenant of the detachment and the captain of the warrior detachment, named Hansen, a loyal and reliable fellow.
Luo Lin listened silently, his heart was very uncomfortable, it was only half a day after he came out, and he had also seen three seriously injured, looking at this situation, according to the ordinary method of recuperation, it would take at least a month to recover his combat ability, his detachment was only one hundred people, and the real combatants were ninety, and there were six fewer at once, which can be described as a heavy loss.
Although he was depressed, Rollin also understood that he was the commander of the team and the pillar that maintained the morale of the army. Any negative feelings he expresses will be magnified in his soldiers, and eventually form the evil result of 'low morale'.
There is a saying on the earth that there will be a nest of bears, and this is the effect.
So, as a commander, he had to be as energetic as ever.
After listening to the report, looking at the corpses that were placed side by side on the ground, Luo Lin waved his hand, and his face was expressionless: "Orderly, the body will be buried in the ground." Put away their swords and shields. β
"Yes, sir." Several orderlies came over and carried the corpse with them.
Luo Lin looked at the seriously injured who were groaning on the side, these wounded were all shocked by the huge strength of the jackals, and they had already taken the healing potion, but their injuries were too severe, and whether they could withstand it in the end depended on their creation.
He walked over. Squat down in front of a seriously wounded man. Hold his hand firmly. In a commanding tone, he said, "Soldier, you must survive, Du Hui fΓΉ, this is an order!" β
The wounded man's body shook slightly, he felt the powerful power contained in the hand holding him, and for a while, a force seemed to be injected into his heart, and his somewhat scattered eyes condensed again. Weak response: "Yes, sir! β
Rollin gave him a military salute, and then gave the same order to the other two seriously wounded, and when they responded, he stood up, pointed out a few soldiers from the soldiers around him, and ordered: "You, you, and you, you five in a team." Send them to the town of Solal to find a priest to heal their wounds, and send them to the after. The two of you stay for protection, and the other three return immediately."
The small town of Solal is in this area, about twenty miles away, and Rollin can only hope that these seriously wounded people can survive there, and that the priests there are pious enough to heal their wounds with enough divine magic.
"Yes, sir." The soldiers saluted and then acted immediately, without the slightest dissent, reflecting the prestige that Rollin possessed.
After the arrangement, Luo Lin looked around again, and saw that some of the rest of the soldiers were cleaning the camp, some were repairing the wooden thorns around the camp, and some were clearing the outer trenches, and almost all of them were assigned tasks by him, and he was a little relieved.
Tonight's battle was not only his first battle, but also the first time these young soldiers had seen blood on the battlefield, and Rollin could see that many of them still had a look of horror on their faces, and if they were allowed to rest now, they would definitely be cranky, and there might be a lot of unexpected troubles, such as ruining disasters like the camp howling in the middle of the night. And now that they're all busy, they don't have time to think about it.
Finally, Rollin walked up to Dai Wei and asked with concern, "How are you feeling?" β
Dai Wei has been through a lot of battles lately, and he is not too worried that she will be scared.
Dai Wei squinted and smiled: "I'm okay, it's just a little headache, I guess it's because I cast too much arcane just now, just rest for one night." It's you, Rollin, uh...... How to describe it, yes, I think you look more and more majestic. β
Dai Wei watched the whole process, although she didn't know much about military affairs, she was familiar with Luo Lin, she felt that there were subtle changes in him, his every move, his voice seemed to have an indescribable power, which could easily convince people, and she couldn't refute and question it, including her.
Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this is the role of the so-called leader's charisma. What the hell is this? He was a little curious, and wanted to ask Zhi Brain, but after thinking about it, he hadn't forgotten that at the beginning, Zhi Brain still despised his IQ, and it was estimated that even if he explained, he wouldn't understand.
So be it, this property is good stuff anyway.
He laughed and said to Dai Wei, "Thank you for the compliment." Then go and rest, my battlemage can't get tired. β
Davi was a great help tonight, and if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have lost so much.
"Yes, sir." Dai Wei also gave a decent military salute, then winked playfully at Rollin, and turned back to his tent.
Rollin could not rest yet, so he turned back and began to inspect the camp.
The reason for this is to supervise the work of the soldiers, and more importantly, to let the recruits feel the existence of him as a commander at all times, so that their flustered hearts have a pillar to rely on and deepen their spiritual connection. In the book of war, this trick has a name, called 'training soldiers', and the principle is similar to 'reindeer' and 'dog training'.
Time passed slowly, the barracks in a stable and orderly atmosphere, slowly calmed down, the soldiers hurried during the day, and were busy setting up temporary camps, in the middle of the night experienced another battle, and then they were busy, and they had no energy to think nonsense, except for the soldiers who took turns to keep vigil, the others fell asleep as soon as they returned to their tents, and their bodies were stained with their own covers.
It was only then that Rollin really became free. He returned to his tent, and only then did he relax the majestic image he had always maintained, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After experiencing it firsthand, he realized that it is not easy to be a good commander. He has to judge the shape of the battlefield in an instant, distribute the most timely and correct orders, subtly grasp the rise and fall of morale, grasp the psychology of the soldiers, etc., etc., etc., among which there are too many doorways to pay attention to.
He felt that an excellent battlefield commander. More than just a combat master. Must also be a master of psychology. Master tactician, if he is lucky enough to become the generalissimo in command of the three armies in the future, then he must have far-reaching strategic vision.
It's not easy to become a figure admired by everyone. Luo Lin exhaled a long breath, but his heart did not flinch, but was full of fighting spirit.
He was such an ambitious man.
At the same time, when the young commanders in the camp were constantly refining their command skills and hoping to transform, they were in the forest not far from the camp. Bernard, the second son of the Count of Leondonne, was the head of commercial taxation in the VendΓ΄me business district, but he encountered the greatest crisis of his life in his temporary habitat.
"Who the hell are you?" He shouted in horror.
In the camp where they were camping, there was a man in a black cloak...... The short man, this man was probably only up to his chest, but his body was very, very thick, his arms were almost as thick as his thighs, and on this thick arm, he carried a staff, and at the tip of the staff, a purple crystal shimmered like blood.
Apparently. This is a magician, which is what makes Bernard and his knights jealous.
Right at his feet. Goering, the coachman who had stayed in the camp, fell motionless to the ground, no longer breathless. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were wide and almost out of his sockets, apparently he had seen something terrible in his life.
"Hey, hey, hey." From under the cloak came the evil laughter of the dwarf: "Young man... Oh no, I should call you Master Bernard, you're a rare infatuator. β
"What do you want to do? Say it quickly, or you're welcome! The thin sword in Bernard's hand was already wrapped in an angry red light, ready to strike.
"Young people are impulsive." The dwarf laughed again.
"Up, kill him!" Bernard gave orders to his knights, and he was furious that the man had killed his loyal servant Goering.
The six knights immediately rushed forward, but they had just taken a few steps forward when they saw a purple shimmer of purple light emerge from the crystal on the staff in the evil magician's hand, which quickly condensed into a purple ball of light and flew high towards the knight.
'Ah~~~~' The three knights who rushed to the front were attacked at the same time, and suddenly fell to their knees, covered their heads, and screamed in horror from their mouths, just like those frightened women.
The other three knights were startled by this turn of events, and instinctively froze in their steps.
"Warriors of the other world, listen to my summons and come out!" The dwarf magician suddenly shouted, and then, on the ground between him and the knight, a purple circle of light appeared, the circle of light was full of mysterious magic patterns, the magic patterns rotated high, and a black hole appeared in the middle, the hole widened, and then a humanoid creature nearly three meters tall, strong and messy, covered with dark armor, quickly emerged from the hole.
The humanoid creature had a tail behind its back, a fluffy head around its neck, and a black mist all over its body, and a large number of intricate light runes could be seen on the surface of the mist-covered armor. The weapon he held in his hand was a greatsword with a curved hook at the tip.
As soon as he appeared, he roared angrily: "Damned dwarf Saledo, you summoned me again while I slept, and I swear, when I regain my freedom, I will trample you to pulp!" β
The dwarf completely ignored the guy's anger and smiled: "Ertu, stop complaining, hurry up and carry out the mission." β
The monster who was called Ertu snorted coldly and calmed down a little: "Say, who are you going to kill this time... Oh, is it this bunch of bugs? β
He saw the knight and Bernard not far away.
"The first six are killed, and the one in the distance remains." Saledo the Short smiled.
At the moment when the dwarf gave the order, the mighty and terrible creature immediately rushed towards the knights, and then Bernard saw a terrible bloody massacre, and in the face of this terrible creature, his knights were as weak as sheep, and any resistance became meaningless.
In just six seconds, one sword at a time, all six knights were killed, blood and broken corpses all over the ground, and finally, the terrible creature's sword stopped, the tip of which was no more than thirty centimeters from Bernard's nose.
He didn't stop on his own initiative, in fact, he tried to kill Bernard with him, but the dark sorcerer sent him back to some strange world at the last moment.
"Saledo, I hate you, you always don't let me kill it!" The guy howled and walked away.
When he was gone, Saledo the dwarf laughed, "Young man, you have to thank me for saving your life." β
Bernard's face was pale, and his forehead was full of cold sweat, but he still had some backbone, and said coldly: "Say, what do you want?" β
"Well, not only will I not kill you, but I will also show you a bright path with a great future. All I need is for you to use your power as the head of commercial taxation to provide me with some convenience. β
Hearing him say this, Bernard breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was willing to negotiate the conditions, he nodded and said, "As long as it's not too much, it's not impossible." β
He is not a rigid person, and it is not a shame in the aristocracy to exchange money for life.
"Very well, very well, you just have to do it......" Saledo began to say what he requested, but he was only halfway there.
"No, no way! Never! Bernard's eyes widened and he refused: "This is too much, I can't do this, this not only ruins me, but also discredits my family, you are so greedy!" β
The dwarf Saledo was not angry, and still smiled: "So, let me add another condition, I will bring your sweetheart to you, how about it?" β
"Don't you want to threaten me with her! If you dare to do this, even if I die, I will turn into an undead spirit and kill you!" Bernard was furious.
"Oh, you're stubborn and infatuated, but that's okay, what I have is patience. You'll definitely agree in the end. Saledo smiled, and suddenly waved at the dense forest, and immediately two lizard-like humanoid monsters jumped out, and the surface of the bodies of these two things was also bubbling with a rich black gas, just like the terrible Eratu just now.
"Take him back, treat him well, and straighten out that brute muscle in his head. But be careful, don't let him die, hehe. β
"Yes, master!" The two lizards screamed strangely, and then rushed to Bernard's side, about to capture him.
Bernard drew his sword to resist, but as soon as his body moved, a purple light fell, enveloping his body, and the light flew into chains, binding him together.
"Master Bernard, I think you will definitely like my hospitality, hehe, you will definitely remember it for the rest of your life, I promise, hehehehe~"
Evil laughter rang out incessantly, and Bernard's face was as dead as he listened.
This time, he seems to have been completely planted. (To be continued!)
