"If you run away, run away~," Jose recalled the scene when he opened [Phoenix Heart].
At that time, the situation was critical, and he had no choice but to open the [Phoenix Heart], but the crisis was lifted after a while, so he closed it immediately.
Later, he deliberately said a word to mislead the witch, misleading the witch into thinking that the fire on his body was due to the treasure, and used the instant magic in the [Lurence Staff] to prove that he really had the treasure.
As for the wound healing, the wound was on the shoulder, and the witch couldn't see it because of the perspective.
Simply perfect!
Jose praised his wit in his heart, and looked down at the battlefield below.
Losing the two main forces, the witch and the chief, the barbarians did not completely collapse. It was not because they were brave, but because it was dark and they could not see well. Only a small group of people knew that the chief was defeated, so that the outsiders didn't know it, and they were still fighting with wolves. people desperately.
At this time, the ogre joined the battlefield.
I saw an ogre charging forward, knocking the barbarian with his horse into the air, and brandishing a terrifying mace, smashing the fallen enemy into a pulp.
Some ogres lost their maces, simply grabbed the horse's legs, swung the horse up as a weapon, and smashed it.
"Jose, aren't you going?" the green dragon asked beside him.
"The enemy is sure to lose, and the rest is for training. Let's take a look."
"All right."
…
In less than three minutes, the barbarians completely collapsed and were either killed or surrendered. Only a few lucky ones snatched the horse and successfully escaped from the pursuit of the wolf cavalry.
When the throat of the last barbarian who resisted was slit, the whole world fell silent, only the whistling of the night wind and the suppressed sobbing of the female captive could be heard.
In the sky, Jose said loudly: "Take the captives to the open space to the west, concentrate on guarding them, and let them all lie down."
"Hogg, take some wolf cavalry to search the surroundings and drive back all the escaped livestock. You must come back before dawn."
"Others collect the loot, gather the corpses together..."
"..."
One order after another was ordered, and the post-war work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Time passed little by little, gradually, the sky in the east was pale, and it was almost dawn.
"Master, the results of the battle have been calculated," Ergou, who was in charge of statistics, saluted the red dragon resting on the grass.
"We killed 1,481 people in battle, killed 7,412 enemies, captured 3,523 barbarians, and captured 10,500 cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock. Forty-eight, and dead livestock carcasses..."
"Skin the dead livestock and cook them for breakfast, and if it's not enough, kill some more."
After feeding the soldiers, José ordered the piled corpses to be set ablaze to prevent plague, and the army returned triumphantly.
Deliberately brought out the secret weapon of the salamander, but it was not used. Jose ordered Ergo to take the salamander back through the tunnel and continue to hide in the snow.
The rest escorted the captives and headed towards Thorn Town with the booty.
Just as Hosse had hoped, the appearance of barbarian captives and a large herd of livestock shocked everyone in Thorn Town, deterring a large number of dissidents.
All this, the red dragon did not see it with his own eyes, because he and the green dragon flew back to the Mordo Peak Forest first.
Neither Jose nor Olivia would show up easily if it wasn't necessary.
Maintaining a sense of mystery and distance is also a deterrent, Jose thinks so, and Olivia may simply despise inferior races.
Back in Mordo Peak Forest, Olivia didn't go home directly, but came to José's underground kingdom as a guest under the pretext of discussing the sudden appearance of a witch. As for the real reason for not going back, only she knew.
The delicacies cooked by the halfling chefs were served to the two dragons' tables one after another, and the two dragons chatted while eating.
Olivia cut a piece of reindeer meat with an elegant dining knife and put it in her mouth, chewing carefully: "Jose, do you believe what the witch said?"
"As far as I know, most of the Northland witches are a group of arrogant guys who don't bother to lie."
The mage's hand held a whole reindeer suspended in the air. Jose took a bite and continued: "I am more inclined to believe her, but I can't believe it all. Even if it is a private job, she would not dare Do it."
"What should we do? Report to the Dragon Sect and demand the fulfillment of the contract?"
"It's useless, the evidence is insufficient. This time we are the ones calling. The Frostax barbarians are not stationed in the Triangle Plain. As long as the witch just says that she happens to be a guest in the barbarian tribe, we can't do anything about her."
"I agree with what you said, but I still think it's okay to report to the Dragon Worship Cult," Olivia wiped her mouth. "Even if it's useless, it's good to put some pressure on the Witch Council."
Jose nodded: "You're right, I didn't think of that."
"..."
After Olivia left, Jose took out the biggest gain of the trip, which was Arman Frost Axe's weapon, the ax that chopped him down.
"I've heard that some large barbarian clans have inherited weapons, but I didn't expect to get one today..." He held the ax in his hand and played with it, watching it.
This is an ordinary-looking single-edged battle axe. The black surface of the ax is uneven and pitted. The blade is matte but extremely sharp. The end of the handle has a slight downward curvature, which makes it more comfortable to hold. hand.
Jose touched the surface of the axe, and it felt cold and prickly to the touch. The inside of the ax contained the power of frost that was completely opposite to that of the red dragon.
He probed his mental power into the inside of the axe again, and found a complicated magic circle inside, and he couldn't recognize the origin of the magic with his knowledge.
"I think this is the magic that traps me. It's really an insidious magic. Ice suddenly emerges to trap the enemy, and then strikes down with a sharp axe. If other dragons really fall for it."
"No, this magic also has a limit. With the energy response at that time, this magic can only deal with juvenile dragons."
"However, for the legendary fighters, this ax is really a one-on-one artifact."
After playing and exploring for a while, Jose lost interest in this unknown magic axe and threw it on a golden mountain, mainly due to the mismatch of attributes.
"Until a suitable owner is found, it can only be used as a display."
Three days passed, and all Jose heard was good news these days.
For example, the news that the brown-skinned wild boars and frost ax barbarians have been severely injured one after another continues to ferment. The large tribes around the Triangle Plain have no intention of driving away the dragon. Green dragon lord's preference.
Another example is that the Dragon Cult agreed to put pressure on the Northland Witch Council, asking why there were witches helping the barbarians deal with the green dragon.
According to the information received so far, Jose estimated that if there were no accidents, the three dragons would have gained a firm foothold in the Triangle Plain.
