Ride and Cut

Chapter 43



With the blessing of the system, Richard\'s body was far more sensitive than ordinary people.

The dim night did not hinder him, so he could see a large number of corpses scattered on the ground ahead. The rotten coyotes were fighting with each other near the body, and all of them were full.

Some of these bodies belong to wilderness people, and some belong to dwarves.

Some are still fresh and still look like before they die. Some have obviously been placed for quite a long time. Mosquitoes, flies and maggots come and go in and out of their eyes. Their bellies bulge high, as if they were going to explode at the next moment.

"What a bad smell." Annie frowned and pinched her nose. She should be glad that the half elf didn\'t fully inherit the ELF\'s vision.

You know, it\'s summer. A piece of raw meat will go bad overnight.

"Yes, it smells like blue cheese." Richard dealt with it casually.

Dwarf culture attaches great importance to the concepts of compatriots, ancestors and souls. If the bodies of compatriots who died in war are not collected, it can only show that their situation has reached a very bad level.

It is true.

The dwarves are very interested in the construction of their home.

Their camp is located on a lakeside highland with relatively high terrain. The gentle slope at the edge is artificially removed and trimmed into a waist high vertical drop. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack by building a circle of two edge high walls with stones and slag.

But now several parts of the wall have been pushed, and a hundred big black men like meat mountains are rushing in along the gap.

Each of them is more than two blades five tall, and their trunk is wider than the door panel. They are fierce and brutal bear soldiers. But to Richard\'s surprise, there were still a lot of little people around them, holding simple wooden spears and bamboo guns, jumping around to cooperate with the bear man.

These small and short people have easily recognizable red eyes and big ears, and have excellent jumping ability. If you ignore the blood on their faces, they are generally cute.

"Rabbit head man?" the Lord shouted in his heart, "how can bear people degenerate into mixing with rabbit head man?"

The tall and strong bear man and the thin and small rabbit head man stand together. The extreme visual contrast is very eye-catching. This combination reminds him of a joke between the bear and the little white rabbit.

"What\'s so strange about that," Annie said naturally. "They are the appendages of the bear people."

"Vassal?" Richard searched his memory and found no knowledge that could correspond to the current situation.

But when he blinked at Annie, Gunther and hurt, he found that each of them had a strange expression.

So the Lord nodded at once, "Oh, it\'s a vassal."

He was so deliberately obvious that the air around him suddenly quieted down for a moment, and then Anne burst out laughing uncontrollably.

Hutt solved the siege for him: "Sir, powerful races such as bear people are often specialized in fighting and not good at production, so we should gather some vassals to do chores for them, and we will bring help boxing in war."

"Generally, large tribes are matched by patriarchs and vassals, and only small tribes are single races." Gunther scratched his head and added.

"Everyone knew why he didn\'t say it earlier." Richard was helpless.

"How could we think you didn\'t even know this." Annie was more helpless.

The differences brought by the environment were now highlighted. There was no doubt that Richard had been staying in the southern provinces, and it was difficult to have access to this information, and the three people who were very familiar with the tribal environment could not imagine that others did not understand this common sense.

"Tut tut." Lord, lying in the grass nest, took out his telescope and looked at it for a while. He couldn\'t help smacking his mouth.

Annie said earlier that in order to show her determination, the soldiers of the bear tribe blinded themselves in one eye. At that time, Richard thought these goods were stupid, but they really deserved the name of cruel people, and they could do it.

Now it\'s not like that - the rabbit men are blind in one eye, but their patriarch, Xiong Ren, is clear that all their eyes are intact. It seems that even if the last rabbit head man is sacrificed, the bear tribe will never give up.

"Miss Anne, you said that there were thousands of soldiers in the big tribe, did you also include the vassal clan." Richard seemed to see the dawn of victory, and he found that the number of bears could be at most one quarter to one fifth of that of rabbit head people.

Although the world is not fair, many aspects at least have their own advantages. Although a strong race like the bear people is strong, their fertility is doomed to be unable to be compared with that of the rabbit head people. This is the constraint of nature on them.

"Well," Anne nodded, "don\'t underestimate the rabbit head people. As long as the patriarch is there, they can often fight together to the end."

"What if the Lord wasn\'t there?" Richard couldn\'t help being curious.

"Well... It\'s possible to surrender without resistance."

"Shit, it\'s so powerful that you can only fight with the wind." the Lord silently reduced the threat index of the bear man in his heart.

It is obviously unreasonable to count the head equally regardless of whether it is good or bad. The combat effectiveness of the patriarch and his vassal is completely different.

Although the number of rabbit head people is more, it is praise to say that they make up the number.

The first thing the dwarves did after mining and smelting iron was to arm their peers, which led to their luxurious equipment. The excellent whole-body plate armor was distributed to the grass-roots soldiers, which made the Gaoshan castle guard drool when they first changed their clothes.

Although they are short, they are very stocky and strong. They use hammers skillfully. In fact, their combat effectiveness is quite good.

The Gaoshan Fort army industry under the wise leadership of the Lord has just started, and the order of dressing is weapons first and then armor. Several centaurs busmi are loyal supporters of the theory of slow work and meticulous work. The output is not as good as the only laying hen. The guard barely changed a round of weapons before leaving.

Therefore, the iron armor on the barbarians is not good or bad, and there are all kinds. Many of them are still the booty captured before. Compared with the dwarves, the poor and lower middle peasants have obvious temperament.

But if the object of comparison is changed to bear people, they will be very happy. The bear people\'s equipment is incomparable with that of Gaoshan castle. At most, they are barely equipped with a main battle heavy weapon. For them, iron armor is a luxury that only a few people can have.

Many bear soldiers can only wear self-made leather armor. The defense ability of this thing is better than none.

But in actual combat, the best equipped dwarves didn\'t play any advantage against the beggar bear people. These Orc soldiers are too fierce and strong!

While roaring wildly, he shook off his arm and swung out a heavy blow. The simple weapons fell to the ground. The sound of the explosion of gold and iron was like a bell. The dwarf soldier was wrapped in an iron can and was beaten to spit blood.

In contrast, although the rabbithead looks brave, their actual performance explains why the vassal can only be vassal - in the face of heavy plate armor, their lame attack seems to be tickling, completely at the level of cannon fodder.

The main purpose of the bear people taking them should be to distract the dwarves.
