Chapter 90 Retrospective
Chapter 90 Retrospective
"Is it really still possible to fight?"
The saintess looked puzzled.
"That knight will definitely take the message back to Talis. Both the bear-orc and the goblin who can defeat the knight will raise alarms."
Her words made sense.
Ziyi and Zian began to ponder.
"Will Baron Taliss come in person?" Li Moss asked.
"Perhaps not."
The saintess looked up in thought.
"According to church rules, if a bishop within a baron's territory discovers that the baron is attempting to enter forbidden territory, he can report it to the church. The truth can be quickly verified using divine magic. If it is true..."
She paused.
Zi'an asked anxiously, "What would happen if it were true?"
The saintess said solemnly, "The baron's family will be wiped out, and the territory will belong to the church. Half of the value will be awarded to the whistleblower as a reward."
hiss--
Li Mosi gasped inwardly.
How cruel.
No wonder the saintess was so excited when she heard Zwan's words.
Anyone with a brain wouldn't do that.
In this way, the priests in the territory would have virtually no chance of protecting the baron.
But Li Mo thought of another possibility: "But now only knights can enter. According to the church rules you mentioned earlier, knights are not considered nobles."
The saint shook her head: "But they are considered an extension of the baron, and they will be punished for entering the forbidden area. We're not fools."
Li Moss was not surprised by this.
Although the original owner's memories as a manor craftsman meant she didn't know much about this world.
But in a world where God truly exists, the Church should be considered the strongest armed force.
Otherwise, why wouldn't others worship magicians or powerful nobles?
The largest armed group doesn't just casually appoint a baron.
Not to mention that the baron himself handed over the knife.
He brought up something that happened a few days earlier: "Zwan said the Baron was fined a lot of money by the church because of your disappearance?"
The saintess's eyes widened: "No matter how much punishment you impose, it doesn't wipe out his entire family!"
That's what she said.
But Li Moss could almost link the two things together.
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.
Not to mention blaming the Baron for the Saintess's death.
It's really hard to say.
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this anymore."
Li Mosi waved her hand, interrupting the conversation.
"Next, we'll likely be facing a group of enemies who know we have new weapons and will launch ambushes. The only good news is that it will take them many days to assemble. Oh, and they also know that Koyasu is here."
As he was talking, he remembered that Zi'an had shown his face at the very end.
Zi'an touched his round bear ears again: "Oh yeah! That guy who ran away saw me. So, will the enemy we're facing next be particularly powerful?"
Li Mosi did not answer immediately.
He first opened the [Leshanshui] map and tried to track the giant wolf's path.
A point of light appeared in the already lit area to the west of the tribe.
He tried again to track down the knight who had just escaped.
The dot on the map symbolizing the giant wolf disappeared, and no new dots appeared.
In other words, as long as an object has been tracked on a map that has already been highlighted, its exact location can be found at any time.
That makes things easier.
"Don't be afraid. Even if you can't beat them, I can guarantee you'll have plenty of time to leave here."
Li Mosi looked at her two disciples again.
"Let's first think about the scenarios where we can win. The first step is to recall if there were any flaws in this morning's battle."
Seeing his expression, the two disciples immediately felt relieved.
Although I don't know how my late master did it.
But both the morning's battle and his previous experiences showed that he was fully aware of everything around him.
The saintess looked at Li Mosi and bit her lip slightly.
She saw in this craftsman a strong sense of decisiveness and a steadfast heart, as well as a complete unknown heritage and the ability to defeat knights.
The difference in strength between a baron and a knight is usually not that great.
As long as the craftsman isn't too unlucky, he'll become a successful pioneer no matter what.
How exactly should I get him to join me...?
Li Mosi began by guiding his disciple, "What happened at the beginning of this morning?"
"Uh..." Zi'an hesitated for a moment, "Is there some idiot on horseback jumping around there, saying a bunch of things I can't understand?"
Zi Yi looked up at Zi An, then at Li Mosi: "Master, do you know what language that is?"
Li Moss shook her head: "I don't understand either."
The saintess suddenly shuddered.
Yes! There are things he doesn't understand either!
"Share what you have that others don't but need, and others will be drawn to you; this is 'benevolence'."
It's time to let this craftsman get closer to you!
Let's change the current situation first!
The saintess spoke up, "That's the written language used by nobles. It means they want you to surrender, or they'll kill you."
Zi Yi asked in confusion, "If we surrender, we won't be killed?"
"Surrender will also result in death."
Although the saintess was answering Zi Yi, her eyes were on Li Mosi.
"He's just pretending to fight you like the nobles do, but he's actually mocking you."
Zi'an choked up: "He's like an idiot."
Li Mosi was merely lamenting the arrogance of the nobility, completely unaware that the saintess was using his reasoning against him.
He shook his head and said, "His toxic pride was beyond my imagination and provided the foundation for our victory. But this is only a condition we can borrow, not an element we can control."
"Think about the problems in the battle."
Li Moss further narrowed the scope of his thinking.
Zi Yi quickly replied, "Our logs were too slow! Only the logs Zi An pushed hit the dragon horse! The goblins could only hit the people and donkeys behind them!"
Zi'an also realized the problem: "The stones the goblins throw with their poles can be blocked by their weapons, which are as big as door panels! And we can't catch up with the knights!"
"The log is too slow. The weapon isn't powerful enough. It can't catch up with Ryoma."
As Li Mosi spoke, she bent her thumb, index finger, and middle finger in turn.
"Think about it first, what solutions can you come up with for these three problems?"
The two disciples fell into deep thought once again.
"Um?"
Zi'an suddenly uttered a questioning sound.
She sniffed and turned to look at the goblins not far away.
Li Mosi, Zi Yi, and the Holy Maiden all subconsciously turned their heads.
"Wow! It's on fire!"
"What should we do? Where is the water?"
"Run away first!"
"Where's the meat? What should we do with the meat?"
A ball of flame crawled from the fire pit onto the clamp holding the meat, and the goblin in charge of roasting the meat panicked.
Zi'an quickly got up and ran to the burning rack in a few steps.
By this time, the flames had spread to the frame and black smoke was beginning to billow out.
She grabbed a corner of the frame, pulled it off, and threw it away.
The frame was thrown onto the damp grass, and the barbecue tongs were scattered all over the ground.
Li Mosi had already grabbed a shovel and quickly shoveled soil to cover the fire.
A wisp of black smoke emerged, and the fire was finally extinguished.
Zi Yi started squeaking loudly at the goblins, and the goblins lowered their heads and responded with soft squeaking.
It's obvious that he was scolded.
Zi Yi mumbled a few more words, then turned to Li Mosi and explained, "They added too many branches just now, and the fire suddenly shot up. I've already told them to do it properly."
"Just do it well, and be sure to pay attention to safety."
Li Mosi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't we just get a few new pots? Have them take them to the river to the northeast and fill them with water to prevent another fire. They can also boil the meat while they're at it, so it'll spoil more slowly."
It's autumn now, so we can't afford to start a wildfire.
Otherwise, even if the enemy doesn't attack, no one can live here anymore.
Wildfire?
