Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel
Chapter 170 A sudden turn of events
"Go and bring two orc prisoners here quickly, and also bring some grain captured from the small orc food team last time!
Also, call me the Blood Claw!
There are also herbal collectors, all invited over, let them see the condition of the poisoned person and see if there is any way to detoxify! "
Originally, Levi felt that he had always been in control of the battlefield and acted calmly and calmly in everything he did, but the sudden accident made Levi panic a little.
After a while, a centaur prisoner and a tauren prisoner were taken to Li Wei, and then the two were forced to eat a large amount of food seized from the orcs.
In just five minutes, the two orcs' faces began to turn pale, and fifteen minutes later they began to vomit, as if they were poisoned.
"It's really poisonous!"
Li Wei carefully sniffed the poisoned grain and observed the symptoms of the poisoned person. For a while, he didn't even recognize what kind of poison it was.
Just when Li Wei was frightened and angry, Li Wei's herb collectors brought even worse news.
"What? Chronic toxin?"
"Yes, Lord Baron, we have seen it. This poison is not a fatal toxin, but it is not easy to remove. You need to take blood-clearing and detoxifying drugs for ten consecutive days to detoxify it.
During the poisoning period, humans and animals will suffer from weakness and gastrointestinal discomfort. They are prone to vomiting, diarrhea, etc. after eating, and their combat effectiveness will be basically reduced by 70 to 80%.
Fortunately, extraordinary beings of the third level and above are resistant to this poison, so the impact will not be too great, but the second level will not be immune.
We just took a general look and found that nearly a hundred people in the army were poisoned and more than 150 horses were disabled. "
Seeing Li Wei's ugly face, everyone lowered their heads for a moment and did not dare to speak.
"We were careless this time. It seems that the orcs are going to kill us! What do you think we should do next?"
After a moment of hesitation, Bellam, as Levi's confidant, stood up first: "Lord Baron, I think that since the orcs are determined to deal with us, we should break out of the encirclement as soon as possible and get out of the orcs' sphere of influence.
The area near the orc food route is full of their strongholds, and our whereabouts are probably under their control.
What is the specific plan of the orcs? We don't know. In order to prevent us from falling into passivity, getting out in advance is the best way. "
Surprisingly, the second person to speak turned out to be Bloodclaw.
"Lord Baron, if you trust me, I can take a few prisoners to a nearby small stronghold to inquire about the situation."
Immediately afterwards, several other people also spoke.
"Lord Baron, since the grain captured by the orcs has been scrapped, the grain we have left is only enough for eleven days. According to Yaqis, if we return to Xiaoyunshan Village now, the grain will be enough."
"But what to do with the poisoned people? Their current condition is not suitable for a rapid march to break out! And if the orcs are determined to intercept them, can we really return to Xiaoyunshan Village smoothly within four or five days?"
"It's better for the poisoned person to just give up."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Finally, Levi spoke.
"Bloodclaw, please help me a little later and take ten prisoners who have completely surrendered to set up a situation."
"As ordered!"
"Uncle Bellam is right. Since the orcs have made up their minds to deal with us, we cannot passively wait for the enemy's methods. It is most appropriate to break out as soon as possible.
The poisoned people are indeed not suitable for action together, but we cannot leave them alone, otherwise the morale of our lone army that has just been kneaded together will collapse. "
Levi paused and continued: "Yaqis, is there a suitable hiding place nearby?"
Yaqis pondered for a moment and said: "One day's journey to the south, there is a cave that is particularly suitable for hiding. The entrance of the cave only allows one person to pass through, but it can hold hundreds of people inside. There is also mountain spring water in the cave."
Li Wei turned to look at the herb collectors and asked, "Can poisoned horse meat be eaten?"
"Lord Baron, you can't eat it. Eating too much horse meat will cause poisoning. If a patient who has already been poisoned ingests poisonous horse meat, the symptoms will be aggravated."
"Will you die?"
"That won't happen."
"Well, I remember that we brought a lot of extra coarse salt when we set off. We slaughtered thirty horses with the mildest symptoms first and simply marinated the horse meat.
Let's head south first, to the cave Yaqis mentioned, and collect some detoxifying drugs along the way.
The unfortunately poisoned soldiers were temporarily placed in that cave. The remaining troops only took away enough food for a week, and the rest of the food was left for the poisoned soldiers.
These more than 100 people do not have horses to consume food, and they are just lying down and resting. The food consumption will be very slow. The remaining grain and horse meat are enough for them to survive for at least three or four months. If they save a little food, they may be able to survive for half a year.
After we escape this time, we will definitely find a way to get them out! "
(Note: Assuming that horses consume twice as much food as people every day, Li Wei’s team, including hunters and herb gatherers, totals 800 people and 1,800 horses in its intact state. With so many people and horses, they can store food for three days. Enough for a hundred low-consumption soldiers to live for a long time. The author's data is not random)
After Li Wei issued this series of orders, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Siegfried, who had previously raised the issue of how to deal with poisoned soldiers.
To be honest, although Siegfried, Villefort and others all knew that Ci did not control troops, they would also be disappointed if Li Wei really abandoned Pao Ze, who had fought alongside him for more than a hundred years.
Sometimes, what determines the combat effectiveness of an army is its morale. If the morale and morale of the army are lost, the army will become a mess.
"Lord Baron, do you need to hide this matter?"
"what's up?"
"Well, the orcs are poisoning the military rations and we are trying to break out."
"No need, just tell the soldiers directly. We haven't completely given up on our comrades in Paoze. I believe they will understand."
"Okay sir."
After an afternoon of marching, while camping for dinner, a series of events at noon spread among the army.
Fortunately, Li Wei's reputation was very strong, and all the rewards he gave were honored one by one. The soldiers believed in Li Wei's decision.
Many people also thought that Mr. Li Wei was too kind and even escorted the one hundred poisoned unfortunates to a safe and hidden place before breaking out of the encirclement.
There were even a few poisoned private soldiers of the Monterey family who shouted that they did not want to drag down their baron and asked the baron to break out of the encirclement earlier.
"Lord Baron, Bloodclaw is back!"
Beside the campfire, Levi finally waited for the werewolf Blood Claw who came to inquire about the news.
