Lord Highlander

The town of Dodan in the distance is immersed in the night, and only the lanterns hanging on the watchtower on the north city wall can be seen in the distance.

Even the Thorny Mountains were hidden under the night, and there was only a dirt road stretching far away on the grass, and a row of thunder rhinos were marching towards the town of Plantos with heavy steps.

A row of deep giant footprints were left on the soft grass.

Lei Tingxi occasionally makes a deep, 'gululu' sound, which is extremely oppressive.

The caravan moved along the dirt road, and not long after, two Thunder Rhinos broke away from the team and stopped on the grassy slope. The two Thunder Rhinos let out a long and low cry.

Director Joerg hurriedly let the Thunder Rhinoceros in his car rush to the front.

Two riders were already standing by the front legs of a thunder rhinoceros to check the situation. Behind them were two assistants carrying lanterns, and several of them were whispering.

Director Joerg and Quartermaster Handel came down from the ladder and walked over quickly. The two drivers hurriedly whispered a few words to Director Joerg, and then led him around the two front legs of Thunder Rhino. .

Not long after, Director Joerg also walked back with a frown, and said to the quartermaster with an ugly face:

"Master Handel, we have two Thunder Rhinos with ulcerated toes. It should be because they were bitten by red ants when we encountered ghost-striped red ants last time."

Handel took a deep breath. Since Director Jodl took the initiative to talk about it, it meant something happened, so he asked, "Is it troublesome?"

Director Joerg nodded and said, "We have treated the wound, but the festering has not been cured, and now the situation is getting worse."

"Need to find a potionist?" Quartermaster Handel asked.

Director Joerg shook his head and said, "No need for now! We have sent a message to Wilkes City, and a special animal trainer and therapist will come over."

"Can you stick to Prantos Town?" Quartermaster Handel frowned and asked, looking at the dark grass again.

Director Joerg said with some concern: "The injury to the toe will make Lei Tingxi very irritable, and there may be problems."

Quartermaster Handel thought for a moment before saying: "Then put the goods on these two Thunder Rhinos on the other Thunder Rhinos, take them back to Dodan Town, and the other Thunder Rhinos will continue to Prentos Town. "

"Yes, Mr. Handel." Director Joerg breathed a sigh of relief, and it was really easy to communicate with the logistics director of the military department.

As the youngest director of the Thunder Rhinoceros Caravan, this time he led the team to the northern towns of Wilkes City. In fact, it was quite stressful. After completing the transportation task, he will be in charge of the Thunder Rhinoceros Caravan in the future. The position will be stable, if it is not done well, I am afraid that I will have to go back to other caravans to be the deputy.

Because the two thunder rhinos were injured, they didn't have much cargo on them.

Director Jörg asked the two riders to return to Dodan to wait for the animal trainer and healer who came from Wilkes.

The caravan still needs to continue on its way.

Before leaving, Quartermaster Handel took out a piece of parchment letterhead and handed it to Director Jörg, and said to him: "I have a good relationship with the commander of the Dodan Town Garrison. This is what I wrote to Commander Suldak. I wrote a letter, and when your people return to Dodan, give this letter to him, and I believe he will take care of your people."

Joerg quickly thanked: "Thank you so much, Lord Handel."

Not long after, the two drivers took the letterheads and drove the two Thunder Rhinos back to Dodan Town, while the other Thunder Rhinos continued to head towards Prantos Town.

...

Andrew returned to the barracks from the Dodan Canyon with a troop of cavalry from the cavalry battalion very late.

Almost all the cavalry were stained with some acid and rot. After returning to the station, a group of cavalry wearing full-coverage heavy armor rushed under the bath wall to wash off the acid on their bodies, and took off their armor with a yell. The sour liquid was corroded and turned red, and many skins were severely ulcerated.

The war horses gathered next to the stables and kept neighing, apparently suffering varying degrees of injuries. The aboriginal herdsmen in the barracks quickly ran out of the dormitory to take over the war horses. Then shave the horse, drink water, feed fodder, and finally lead it into the stable.

But this time, these aboriginal herdsmen ran to Andrew and talked to the shirtless Andrew for a long time beside the bath wall.

After returning from this battle, these war horses were all physically exhausted. Even if they could heal their hidden injuries, they might not be able to charge on the battlefield.

Although they have lost weight several times, these ancient horses still cannot bear the weight of cavalry and full armor.

After a few charges, the hamstrings of these Gu Bolai horses were all damaged, and even if they were trained now, they might not be able to restore their previous state.

Andrew did not expect that the matter would be so serious. Although he knew that these war horses were not the first choice of heavy cavalry, he never thought that this matter would be so serious. A war horse of twenty gold may only be used to pull Car, this is really unacceptable.

The cavalry who were taking a bath also gathered around one after another. Everyone was a little dumbfounded when they heard the complaints from the aboriginal herdsmen.

Thinking that I have not received formal knight training after all, and I am not very proficient in formal riding skills. Once I went out of the city to fight, my horses would be disabled.

Suldak was still at the side of the small building, preparing to use the holy light technique to heal the knights who had returned from the Dodan Canyon. He could see from a distance that many knights were corroded by acid and had large areas of skin festering.

Seeing the cavalry surrounded by the stables, he walked over and found a group of honest and responsible aboriginal herdsmen all furious. After listening carefully for a while, he realized that Andrew was a little too greedy for merit in fighting in the canyon this time, so that these The physical strength of the war horse cannot bear the high-intensity charge.

When the ogre heard about this, he ran to the stables. At this moment, he looked at the horses with more ferocious eyes, and he did not hide his strong appetite, just like a lion wandering in the grassland.

When the aborigines saw Suldak and the half-elf archer Samira approaching, they greeted them one after another, and expressed their inner thoughts to Suldak, hoping that the cavalry in the cavalry battalion would better wear hard leather In addition, the heavy armor on the horse is also discarded, so that the horse can run.

Suldak didn't want his heavy cavalry battalion to become light cavalry all of a sudden. The most dominant unit of the Green Empire was the Constructed Knights, followed by the Heavy Cavalry. The light cavalry was not as good as the heavy armored infantry. for what?

After much consideration, he decided to go to the stables to see if the war horses still had a chance to heal.

At this time, a team of four-wheeled carriages drove into the barracks. These carriages were loaded with the corpses of some ghost-striped drones and giant soldier ants. The carriage was parked in the open space in front of the small building, and the aborigines in the town jumped out of the carriage and began to unload the goods in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Andrew led the cavalry to the middle of the canyon, drove away the ant colony there, and hired a group of aborigines from the town to dig out all the ghost-striped male ants buried under the rocks.

Basically, it is considered to transport all the gains from the battle back to the garrison camp, but these gains are likely to be worth more than these ancient Bolai war horses.

Suldak could only comfort these aboriginal herdsmen, and those horses that had run away could be incorporated into the logistics regiment. The Bailin plane was full of large pastures, and it was easy to buy some war horses.

The only problem is that the newly bought ancient horses still can't carry the heavy cavalry, and the new horses have to cultivate a close partnership with the cavalry.

When the group walked to the stable, Suldak suddenly saw his old buddy. This ancient horse was brought back from Handanar County by him. After Suldak became a knight, it also faced The problem of not being able to bear the weight of Surdak.

This may be a problem that all heavy cavalry regiments need to face. Unless they can buy stronger blue-scaled horses, they will have to try to face the more popular Gubolai horses.

Standing in front of the stable, Suldak stretched out his hand to gently stroke the smooth mane of the old man. The aborigines took good care of it, and recently the coat has become shiny.

Seeing Suldak, the ancient Bolai horse licked Suldak's palm with its wet tongue very meekly.

Suldak remembered that he had obtained a strengthening scroll from Scholar Ferdinand, so that his war horse had enough carrying capacity?

Although I don't have a strengthening scroll in my hand now, the life magic pattern 'strength and tenacity' obtained from the giant ghost pattern soldier ant is so much that the magic sealing box can hardly fit it.

The veterans in the cavalry battalion implanted this magic pattern almost as soon as they reached one turn.

After all, there are only a few dozen veterans who can be promoted to the first rank, and the remaining life magic patterns cannot be sold publicly. Once this thing is noticed by the magic union, they may be treated as heretics.

Now if it can be implanted into the bodies of these ancient Bolai horses, maybe the problem of insufficient carrying capacity can be solved.

Although Suldak wanted to try it, he was in no hurry to do it right away.

He first ordered Andrew to check the injuries of the cavalrymen. Serious injuries should be given priority for treatment. Cavalrymen with light injuries should go to the cafeteria to finish their dinner first, and then come back for treatment.

...

A kind of wild grass with oval thick leaves is abundant in the local area. Although it is not a magical herb, it has a unique curative effect on the burns caused by the acid rot of the ghost pattern red ants.

Recently, more and more cavalrymen were injured and burned by acid in the military camp. Nika heard from the local aborigines that this weed is very effective, so he took some aboriginal children to the wild to pick some back, and then used a stone mill to grind them Broken into a green juice, stored in a clay pot.

Now this group of cavalry came to heal their wounds. As long as the body was burned by the sour liquid, the green grass juice can be applied directly after the skin is cleaned. It is said that it is still very effective.

Although Selena looked haggard after recovering from a serious illness, she still had to count the seized supplies in the barracks.

Holding a sheepskin ledger, she was covering her mouth and nose, leading someone to count the ghost-striped male ants in the empty field in front of the small building.

There is no way, there are too few people in the barracks who can do material statistics.

Signa just squatted in the kitchen to boil water, reboiled the hemostatic bandage so that it could continue to be used, and Suldak concentrated on treating the injured cavalry.

After sending off the last wounded soldier, Suldak leaned against the railing in front of the house, looked at the northern city wall hidden in the night not far away, and took a sip of a glass of golden cider, feeling indescribably relaxed.

The fourth queen exited Dodan Canyon with the colony in the canyon, and the garrison camp was a little easier.

Just as he was about to return to Pustule Mountain through the Void Gate to see the red dragon Iser, he saw Adams and Gallatin walking over from the dormitory.

"Commander Suldak!" Adams wore mithril-plated armor and a bright red cloak, and walked in front of Suldak with his chest upright, looking heroic.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Suldak guessed what they were thinking.

"What? Do you want to try to clean up the ghost-striped red ants outside the city tomorrow?" Suldak asked with a smile.

"I have this plan. I don't need Gallatin and I to take turns guarding the city wall during the day tomorrow, so we applied to clean up those ghost-striped red ants in the canyon!" Adams said.

Suldak agreed casually: "Yes, tomorrow I will arrange for Samira to guard the north city wall during the day, but you should also pay attention to safety and try not to go too deep..."

Seeing that Suldak agreed, Adams and Gallatin left the small building contentedly.

As soon as Suldak put down the wine glass in his hand, the guard at the gate of the camp ran in and reported to him: "Commander, the two drivers of the Thunder Rhino caravan have sent a letter."

Suldak frowned, received the letter in his hand, and saw that it read:

'Baron Suldak:

Sorry to bother you at this time!

When I read this letter, the caravan had already left Dodan Town and was on its way to Prentos Town. However, when we set off, we found that the two Thunder Rhinos were slightly injured, and we need to stay with you to recuperate for the time being. We have sent people back to Wilkes City to ask the animal trainer for support. Before the animal trainer arrives, please take care of it.

your friend Handel'

Suldak folded the letter again and put it in his arms before asking, "Where are the two Thunder Rhinoceros riders? Are they still at the door?"

"Yes, Commander!" replied the guard at the gate of the camp.

Suldak nodded and said, "Okay, you invite the two of them in, I'll arrange this..."

I wanted to ask the two riders to live in the barracks, but I didn't expect that the two riders could live directly in the wooden house on the back of Thunder Rhinoceros. They just hoped that during the period in Dodan Town, they could get Suldak The Baron's Asylum.

'As long as you don't break any laws in Dodan, no one can do anything to you! ’ Suldak said.

The two drivers left the barracks gratefully.

In fact, Suldak originally wanted to ask what kind of injury Lei Tingxi had suffered.

It's a pity that the two drivers walked so fast that he didn't have time to ask...
