It’s the probing cavalry from the Cordim humans and beasts.
When it snowed during the day last night, the Crops who came here were empty. They couldn't find any valuable clues, so they left tonight. They just wanted to use the houses here to keep out the wind and cold and rest for a few days.
Hour
A large part of the texts used by the Cordim beasts are derived from ancient human texts and have similar meanings, but their language is completely different from any language currently used by humans. Except for linguists and specialized magic,
There is no other way to communicate. The cultures, customs, and cognitions of both parties are very different. Even using body language and painting, it is difficult to understand.
Under normal circumstances, when adventurers encounter Cordim, it is similar to encountering a group of hungry lions. The Cordim want to eat meat, and the adventurers want skin. In addition, the genitals of male Cordim are very affected by those.
Rich men who are not very men when it comes to sex are welcome
Of course, there are not exceptions. Just like sometimes lions can coexist peacefully with humans. However, this kind of peace is very difficult to maintain and is generally short-lived because there are some antagonists on both sides who destroy the harmony, such as the ferocious Cordym.
, greedy poachers...
The darkness of night had little effect on the Cordim. After stepping over a trap, they simply started to test it blatantly.
The early warning device set by Neo was very effective. When the Cordim man and beast tentatively advanced towards the village, Neo and everyone were already fully equipped.
"Remember, if it's Cordim, the room is our advantageous area." Neo explained the key points first, and then called by name: "Barrett, Dick, and Bothlem, you three will go out with me to ensure my rear.
, pay attention to self-protection, pay attention to arrows Borglem, you bring a throwing gun."
"yes"
Neo's request basically explained the three people's responsibilities in the combat team. Barritt and Dick picked up two shields standing aside, and Borglem brought 6 metal-headed spears.
At the same time, Neo said to the old young man with a yellow face: "Mahe, you will be in charge of the rest of the people staying in the house."
Maher nodded expressionlessly. His facial expressions rarely changed, so he wasn't looking at Neo's face.
Neo threw the magic fire blunderbuss, a relic of Bishop Tellus, to Edward, "I heard that you have used similar weapons."
Edward was a little flattered. He had experience in using muskets, but it was an old-fashioned flintlock gun, which was far from comparable to this one.
Then, Neo handed one of his blue steel swords to Barritt. He punched Barritt and knew that the sword Barritt was using was too light for him.
"Dick, you three, please don't say anything without my permission. Let's go." Neo fastened the leather buckle of the sword pouch, picked up the gray spear and left the big house first. He took the side door, and the front door was a trap.
Although the wind is not as strong as last night tonight, the coldness is particularly extreme. The wind blows hard like a swishing blow, blowing on the face like a knife.
There were no lighting objects such as torches, so the Cordim humans and beasts were fine, but Dick and the other three could only see 3 or 4 meters away. Fortunately, Neo just ordered the three of them to follow his steps, and pay attention to the fact that his gestures were loud enough in the wind.
, you don’t have to worry about the sound of stepping on the snow while walking.
At the side of a room, Neo stretched out his hand, signaling to stop and hand the spear to Borglem behind him, and took a throwing spear from Borglem. His hard bow of yew wood had already been given to him.
Wright uses, otherwise in this case, the bow and arrow would be his first choice
In human form, Neo's dark vision is only 15.6 meters away, but he has already been able to flexibly use his sense of smell and hearing, so his enemy locking range is actually at least twice as large.
Suddenly jumping out, Neo threw the spear forcefully. This throw relied more on experience.
The two Cordim beasts who had just walked out of the covered wooden bridge saw a shadow flashing on the originally empty street in front of them. Before they had time to react, the spears had already been fired, poof! The leading Cordim
Dim's chest was pierced, his front legs bent, he knelt on the ground, and let out a painful scream.
Another Cordim shouted loudly, signaling to others of the same kind that they were ready to engage in battle. There were not many enemies. At the same time, he rushed towards this side along the road. After about 20 meters, one of his front hoofs suddenly missed the path of the Cordim.
With a certain degree of preparedness, he thrust the spear and spear in his hand toward the ground, using it as a fulcrum to forcefully support his toppling body. However, before it could make another move, Neo had already pounced down on the house on the side of the street, his sword
The light flashed across Cordim's throat, and blood spurted out. Cordim's spear-holding hand was exhausted, and the momentum of forward movement was still there. The hoof got stuck in the pit again, and the inertia of the heavy body directly pulled the leg.
Broken, then rolled over on one side and died soon after
Shaking off the blood on the blade, Neo walked back calmly and sheathed the sword at the same time.
Joining Dick and the other three, Neo took another spear, and then led the three of them across the street into a private house and went up to the second floor. He went directly through the open skylight, locked the direction, and threw the spear again. This time
He was not so lucky. He only hit the base of a Cordim's forelimb. The Cordim was in pain. His feet slipped and he fell down the slope of the snow-covered roof. There was a loud "boom!" and he fell hard.
After a while, I couldn't get up for a long time
Whoosh! Two powerful arrows flew from different directions. One of them came from the roof across the street. It was shot by a Cordim who had just climbed onto the roof, but Neo had already retracted it.
in the room
"Watch the roof!" Neo said, taking the Gray Spear from Borglem.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, bang! There was a sound from the roof, it was the sound of Cordim leaping and stepping down. These human beasts with leopards on their lower bodies and human bodies on top are better at climbing and jumping than centaurs, and they are also more flexible and faster.
, but the endurance is average, and the weight is an advantage when charging, but now it is obviously a disadvantage.
Bang! Neo held the gray spear in both hands. Less than a second after the Cordim landed, he thrust it out with all his strength. The gray spear directly penetrated the roof, pierced the Cordim's lower abdomen, twisted violently, and then pushed towards
With the next pull, Neo withdrew his spear, narrowly dodging an arrow shot from the skylight, and said: "Dick, Barritt, go down and seal the door."
Then he took another throwing spear and threw it directly from the skylight. This time he didn't even lock the target and hit the slope of the roof of the opposite house. The tiles shattered and there was a loud crashing sound.
The other side continued to fire arrows back. In fact, even Cordim couldn't see the room clearly from the outside. The Cordim archer who later climbed to the roof only did it because of Neo's spear throw.
immediate response
At the same time, Neo had already taken Bogram downstairs and towards a large window
Bang! Bang! On the other side of the main entrance, a Cordim smashed the thin wooden door with two or three axes. Barrett and Dick stood in the door and faced off with the muscular beast. They exchanged blows with each other for a while.
Even the children can't do anything to each other
Neo said to Bogram: "You are here, use the spear for a while, and look at the position guided by my weapon."
Bogram nodded. Although the room was dark, many of the wall panels and wood in the room had been removed, causing air leakage and light leakage everywhere. Bogram could barely see. Then Bogram saw Neo walking to the window first, and soon
He quickly walked to a wall that was missing two planks of wood, and then pointed diagonally at the thin wall with his sword.
Boom! A Cordim broke through the thin wall and rushed in. What greeted it was Borglem throwing spears with his left and right hands. Borglem was also ambidextrous, and his left and right hands were equally powerful.
This human beast rushed in with a shield on its head. Facing the spears that were thrown at it, it swung its shield to block them all. At the same time, it also successfully knocked away the gray spears flying from the side with its knife.
It's a pity that this gray spear is also a trap to lure it into action. The real fatal thing is Neo himself who has already taken advantage of the chaos to rush up to the ground. From bottom to top, he lifts up a flash of sword light diagonally from the waist to the shoulder diagonally opposite.
, almost split the man and beast in half diagonally.
Neo then kicked the human beast's side, pushing its huge body to the side, smashing several wall panels, and then ejected to one side. He picked up the knocked-off gray spear and held a sword in his right hand.
Hua shook off the blood drops on the blade, put it back into its sheath, then rushed to the body of the man-beast to pick up the large shield, and got out through the hole in the wall broken by the man-beast. "Pay attention to the direction upstairs." Neo was about to go out.
Alert Borglem
Not long after he came out of the house, Neo was spotted by the Cordim on the opposite roof. Whoosh! Bang! The opponent had a bow and arrow, and Neo had a shield. He shot hard and blocked easily.
With his skillful hands, it didn't matter which hand was the spear or which hand was the shield. Neo just strode forward and turned around to the main entrance.
The Cordim fired two more bows, but seeing no effect at all, he retracted his bow and jumped from the house towards Neo. Almost at the same moment, the strong Cordim who had been confronting Barrit and Dick appeared.
He also discovered Neo and turned around and rushed towards Neo.
Neo seemed to have known that the Cordim on the house would jump down, a jump over there, a bang over here! He directly inserted the tail vertebra of the gray spear into the snowy ground, and then suddenly pulled away, as Neo dodged back.
, Codim jumped down from the house and saw the gray spear standing sideways on the ground. That was exactly where it landed. If it didn't deal with it, it would be stabbed through the body by the spear when it fell.
At the critical moment, Cordim flew out his hand axe, successfully knocked down the Gray Spear, and landed safely. However, before he could stand still, Neo, who had retreated before, rushed back from the side, with his shield standing in front of him, and fiercely struck him from the side.
Dim's front body hit him sideways, and the huge force caused Codim to stumble and fall out. At this moment, the blue steel sword shined again, he took a step, unsheathed the sword, stretched out his arm, and the blade flew away.
, this move is called 'Shield Blade', which uses the shield to destroy the opponent's fighting posture, create an opening, and then use the weapon to complete the aerial pursuit. This skill may seem ordinary, but it requires proficiency, strength, reaction, sword-drawing speed and skills.
very high
Neo's 'Shield Blade' skill was obtained in exchange for a large bag of mead and a human guard. It is his most popular skill when holding a shield. Now that his power has been greatly improved, this attack is definitely above the standard.
A sword struck the base of Cordim's right front leg, cutting off a huge wound nearly one meter long. Blood spurted out, and one and a half of Cordim's front legs were almost scrapped.
At this time, the muscular Cordim, who had been in a stalemate with Barritt and Dick before, had already pounced on it. It was holding a stone ax with both hands and was very powerful and heavy. However, Neo used his shield to carry both axes and collide with it. It turned out to be evenly matched.
Only then did Shuokedim realize that the man in front of him was not only extremely fast, but also very powerful. His explosive power was even stronger than it. After all, it had a weight advantage.
After the confrontation, Neo took the initiative to retreat violently, and then charged forward ferociously. Cordim also became ferocious, howling and holding up his stone ax to meet him.
Boom! With just one axe, the shield was blown away. Immediately afterwards, the strong Cordim felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Looking down, he saw that his stomach had been disemboweled, and his internal organs and blood were flowing out. It turned out that Neo had been hit.
The trick of the turtle taking off its shell
Neo, who was lying flat on his back and slid out from behind the strong Cordim, stood up, sheathed his sword and picked up the gray spear, calling to the three Dicks in the room, "Kill all the injured ones, and try to pay attention to the integrity of the fur."
"As he said this, he whistled, got some white socks, got on his mount, and left.
About half an hour later, Neo came back. He went to chase the Cordim exploration cavalry, but two of them were killed. One of them was successfully ambushed by Neo, was wounded, and then lost his life. The other ran desperately, but failed.
He was able to outrun White Socks, but was eventually overtaken and killed. Neo came back a little late because he was dragging the corpse of the last Cordim.
By the time Neo came back, all the previously injured cordim in the village had been taken care of, a total of 9 of them.
"Bleed! Peel the skin!" It is more convenient to do these two things when the corpse is hot. This is actually similar to slaughtering a large animal. Although no one except Neo is a skilled worker, and the tools are not professional enough, 7 or 8 people do it together.
Finished in less than 1 hour
"Oh, let's sleep!"
How could it be easy to fall asleep after just going through a battle? Except for Neo, Wiz and Borglem, everyone else was tossing and turning to varying degrees. Tony and Hagen, for example, twisted on the bed for nearly an hour before falling asleep.
fall into deep sleep
Early the next morning, Neo still got up around 6:30, but it was already 90 minutes before he woke up Dick and the others. Two of them had strong biological clocks and woke up early, Borglem and Mach.
The breakfast that day was made by Neo. The stew was particularly fragrant and delicious. However, Borglem and Maher ate with serious expressions. Tony asked them what was wrong, and they both said they had a bad appetite.
Dick asked Neo what secret method was used to make the stew so fragrant. Neo said that the secret would not be revealed until noon...
It was a very tiring morning. Whether it was blacksmithing, tanning and drying leather, or collecting shaped boards and simply processing them into spare materials, it was not an easy job. At noon, when everyone was tired and hungry, Neo told everyone
, I ate Cordim meat in the morning
The others were okay. Tony and Hagen were vomiting violently, but the food had been digested and they couldn't vomit anything out at all. As a result, they had a very economical lunch and only consumed less than half of the usual food. The pacesetter this time was Wiz.
, I can eat it just like it was in the morning. Neo patted his shoulder and said nothing. Whether it was because he was very nervous or because he remembered what he said, one thing is true: Wiz is working hard to recover.
After a short break after the meal, the work at the blacksmith continued. The remaining people were processing the internal organs of the Cordim according to Neo's instructions. The rest was easy to say. The most troublesome thing was the intestines. According to Neo's request, all the intestines were required.
Wash, remove oil, and make large casings and small casings. Large casings are one of the good bowstring materials. Small casings can be made into casing threads, which are used for surgical sutures. In addition, casings also have the most basic function of filling sausages.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the fruits of the hard work came out. First, two two-horse sleds, light and strong, were completed. This kind of sleigh was built with Neo's personal participation and supervision. Just one sleigh is completely capable.
Carrying all the team's supplies means that if there are only 9 of them, they can completely maneuver with livestock power.
Another piece of good news, Barritt, Borglem, Dick, and Wiz, all four of them have weapons of their own.
Neo also made simple personalized treatments based on their personal requirements. Like Barret, he uses a thick-ridged one-handed heavy sword with a hexagonal handle. He is personally more accustomed to the role of shield fighting, and because of his physical body
It seems that he has the potential to develop into a defensive warrior. Neo also specially made a thick wooden and steel edge tower shield for him.
Borglem's sword is like a curved iron bar, the slenderest and sharpest. In addition, the hilt of his sword is special. It is a curved cover with a tail. Neo needs to hold it with his hand to use the sword according to it.
Features: It is designed with an asymmetrical copper arm armor. The left arm arm armor is extremely strong. There are also three vertical steel ridges on the forearm, which can withstand the chop of a tomahawk. The right arm has an elbow and no gauntlet.
, because his weapon has completely protected his hand. The focus of the arm armor on his right arm is the flexibility of the wrist. This took Neo some thought and effort, and it was not done in a day.
Dick prefers the style of Neo's blue steel sword, but it is impossible to have that processing time nowadays, so his sword looks
