"How is John, Peter?" Joel and others walked to John, intending to see how John was doing.
"He was hit on the head by a flying stone, and the wound was not serious. But although he was still breathing, he never woke up." Peter replied worriedly, "I can't do anything. We may have to find a potion in the town.
division."
"Huh, I told you before, Joel, Peter still has a lot of skills that he can't show off."
Brutus squeezed into the crowd, squatted down and touched John's breath with his hand. It was still stable, so it seemed that the situation was not serious.
"Okay, you all spread out a little bit so that he can breathe fresh air." Brutus dispersed the villagers gathered around him, then stood up and said to Joel, "He has a concussion - to put it simply
I was knocked unconscious and my head is buzzing. The situation doesn't look serious. I should be able to wake up after a day or two of rest."
"Peter, bandage John's wound to prevent it from getting infected."
When Peter heard these unfamiliar terms from Brutus, he didn't know what to do and stood there blankly.
"Just apply the herbal medicine on the wound and wrap it with a cloth. Remember to boil the cloth in boiling water first." Seeing this, Brutus explained to Peter helplessly with his little medical knowledge, "The cloth is
The strips need to be changed and washed frequently, otherwise the wound may fester or become more serious.”
Peter, who knew what to do, immediately replied: "I will do it now, Mr. Brutus."
He grabbed a male villager and carried John into a nearby house, and then began to work.
"Brutus, are you from the royal capital?" Joel asked curiously.
"I came to the Kingdom of Loma from Gris." Brutus stated simply.
"That's it." Joel suddenly realized, "Gris is indeed a representative of civilization."
I think you may have some misunderstanding about the Gris people... Brutus still thinks that the mentality of the Lomas is strange. If the Gris represent civilization, then are the Lomas considered barbarians?
"So Mr. Brutus, what do you think we should do now?" After knowing Brutus's identity as a Grisian, Joel also added an honorific to his name.
Brutus thought for a while and decided to leave this matter to more professional people: "Wait for your captain's order. Just stay alert now."
...
The first ray of sunshine in the morning emerges from the horizon.
After finishing his night shift three hours ago, Brutus, who was sleeping soundly while leaning against a pillar, was shaken wildly and woke up completely.
He opened his eyes and looked at the culprit who woke him up. It turned out to be Captain Jack.
Jack had to be lucky that Brutus didn't get out of bed, otherwise the two of them would most likely have had a fight...
"Captain Jack, how was the situation at the other two village gates last night?" Brutus' voice was a little hoarse. He felt that he should find some water first, and his eyes unconsciously focused on the water bag on Jack's waist.
.
Jack followed Brutus' gaze and happily stuffed the water bag into Brutus' arms: "Last night there were only a few goblins at the south gate and north gate. They threw a few stones and ran away.
, you are their main direction of attack."
"I have listened to Joel and the others about what happened last night, and I also admire you very much."
"Thank you." Brutus opened the opening of the water bag, raised his head, drank a few mouthfuls for himself, then closed the lid and handed it back to Jack.
Brutus just didn't want to drink because of hygiene issues, so he didn't explain it. In his opinion, it was common sense...
Jack, on the other hand, had some doubts about whether Brutus disliked him, but considering that he was a Grisian, he thought it was quite reasonable. He didn't say anything and just hung the water bag on his belt again.
Brutus looked at Jack: "What are you going to do next?"
"I thought about it carefully for a long time and thought that we could no longer be beaten passively. The village guards must wipe out these goblins in one fell swoop, and then hang their corpses on the most conspicuous hillside outside the village to warn those damn goblins to stay away.
Our village is far away."
"What's the plan?" Brutus wanted to listen and then decide whether to get involved.
"Are you planning to participate too? That's great. I think your equipment is good. If you also join in, our chances of winning will be much higher." Jack said happily after hearing this, "I have discussed it with the team members several times and feel that
They should be hiding in a mine northwest of the village."
"Crypt?" Brutus frowned, "Can you tell me more about it?"
"That mine leads underground and has been abandoned for many years. A lot of copper was mined back then." Jack replied, "We asked some old people in the village that the mine had an underground river dug out at the bottom.
The stagnant water was difficult to drain, so it had to be abandoned.”
"Is the structure of the mine still sound?" Brutus didn't want to be buried underground, and he had to ask whether this was possible.
"Of course, people in the village will not joke with their own lives. I plan to arrange for Anil and Philip to observe the situation later. They have good eyesight and are also the fastest runners in our village."
"Well, let me think about it, you should go and do your own business first." Brutus nodded.
Seeing Jack walking to the wooden wall to check the situation, Brutus sat down against the pillar and thought about his next action.
"In a mine, there is no advantage of long weapons. However, in this environment, the goblin's flexibility advantage is not obvious in the mine. However, once it enters the open space underground, it will have to face being surrounded.
risks of."
"We have to look at the equipment situation of this village before we can decide. If it doesn't work, we should still find a way to lure the goblins out. At least we can get the initiative..."
Brutus will not take the personal strength of the village guards into consideration. In his opinion, it is unnecessary to consider personal bravery. In a battle of a certain scale, the advantages of team organization and equipment are what he needs to consider.
"Captain!" The rapid sound of horse hooves stopped, and a team member called Jack from the horse, "There is a man coming from the north gate. He said that he accepted the commission from the Sissoko Adventure Guild and came here to deal with the goblins.
."
"Great, it seems we can take action today." Jack quickly walked towards the team member who was delivering the news, and shouted to Philip who was not far away, "Philip, you go find Anil and ask him to communicate with you.
You go there now."
Jack took the reins of the horse from the team member who delivered the news, got on the horse and hurried towards the north gate.
"I hope this adventurer who takes the mission has two brushes." Brutus stood up and patted the dirt on his butt.
Brutus planned to get a piece of bread first, then check on John's condition, and exchange medical knowledge with Peter, which could be regarded as making a small contribution to Loma's medical career...
