The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Abes put away the bone flute in his hand, with an unreadable expression on his face.

Since this entry point is not going to work, there is no need to show it off here.

"But do you really think that I can't get something out of you?"

The only difference between the current Abes and the previous interrogation is that he has acquired a part-time job as a bard.

Not only did that knowledge allow Abes to add sound waves to his sword attacks, but most importantly, the bard was a spellcaster and had some basic spells.

Even the combat method is a group effect like Rest Song that looks relatively magical.

When rescuing the prisoners, Abes used the panic technique on the designated target, and it worked very well.

And now, maybe I could use something else.

Don't you want to taste the poet's characteristics and talk therapy?

"If you are willing to cooperate, I am also planning to use the friendship technique against you. If you don't cooperate, I can only use the charm human technique... By the way, you are a humanoid creature, right?"

Although it is used to charm humans, the effect is not limited to humans, but includes all humanoid creatures.

The lizardmen in front of us are distant relatives of the Dragonborn and should also be within the scope of the effect.

The reason why magic was not used at the beginning was simply because asking questions would never be as comprehensive as the other party's voluntary confession.

Since the other party won't cooperate, there's nothing we can do.

Abes asked nonchalantly, and then placed his palm on the lizardman's fiery red eyes.

"What a bullshit charm to humans, I am not the same kind of creature as you lowly scaleless people..." After seeing the magical light coming out of Abes' palm, the lizard man wanted to struggle instinctively, but the next moment, his tone relaxed, "Friend, why are you here?"

"Friends? Oh, friend, I want to visit your camp. Is there anything I should pay attention to?"

----------

The negative influence of barbarians on spellcasters is immeasurable.

As the profession that least understands magic, using this profession as a part-time spellcaster is definitely a combination that no player would want.

There's no other reason, rage will interrupt the concentration of the spell.

The spell fuse that occurs every six seconds is a bug that no matter how skilled the mage is, he cannot fix it.

After all, bribing the security guards and closing the gates every once in a while is the most sophisticated form of business warfare.

If the tactics were not independent of the player character's spellcasting, the buff effects on the army would have independent time calculations.

Moreover, the part that has already taken effect will not lose its effect due to the spell being blown.

I'm afraid Abes has already been trapped by this problematic construction.

Fortunately, there are quite a few magic spells in the bard's own spellbook that do not require concentration.

Charming humans is one of them.

On a failed Wisdom saving throw, the creature is charmed until it cancels the spell or the spell's maximum duration of one hour ends.

During this time, charmed creatures view you as friendly and familiar.

When the spell ends, the creature realizes that you have charmed it.

Based on this effect, we can know that the so-called charm is not physical pleasure, and it is impossible for a lizard man to become obsessed with humans.

Maybe you prefer the warm personality of a friend?

"I don't think the name is accurate at all. The effect is not a charm, and the scope of action is not limited to humans. Anyway, thank you for the information."

Abes withdrew his hand, his eyes fixed, and then he quickly left the tent where the prisoners were held.

At the same time, countless new information slowly unfolded in Abes's mind.

This is not good! Something big has happened!

Before, Abes thought that they had eliminated one seventh of the enemies in the camp.

Now that their manpower has increased almost tenfold, it should be no problem for them to take over the camp.

As a result, through charmed humans, he found out that the military strength in the central tent was not inferior to the total military strength of the divisions outside.

The military strength of each division is not evenly distributed.

The conclusion is that it is impossible to defeat it head-on...

But fortunately, through questioning, Abes also learned some useful breakthroughs.

There was a severe shortage of water in that camp.

The information revealed by this lizard man matched the results of the previous pre-raid reconnaissance.

A few days ago, when he was still a team of only fifty people, he had indeed heard such a report.

[Starting from the mountains in the north, all the way east to the camp area, there are obvious deficiencies.]

The originally densely packed defense facilities were now... dilapidated. Many of the chevaux de frise were missing, and the wooden walls and fences erected around the camp were full of gaps.

Although there was no way to get close to check, the young men in the scout team came to the conclusion after observing from the outside for a while - it seemed that these places were destroyed on a large scale by the Lizardmen themselves for the convenience of getting water.

It was a shallow stream and could be easily blocked with some means.

Abes knocked on the oil lamp in front of him, watching the dying flame light up again, and then muttered to himself to the empty tent, "After the blockage, they will have to leave the camp to look for water due to lack of water."

At that time, he could lead his newly formed cavalry and kill the enemies in the wilderness.

After all, if using cavalry to defend the home and attack the camp is ineffective, wouldn't it be better to let the enemy come out?

But problems also follow.

Although the camp is close to the stream, the lizardmen inside probably have no habit of storing water.

However, it will take some time to make them thirsty.

People need to wait three days without drinking water. Lizards have different physiques and may be able to tolerate thirst better.

In addition, intelligent creatures will always find ways to survive by using condensation, digging wells, etc., and the time may take longer than expected.

As time went on, problems surfaced.

First, what would his troops eat during such a long period of time?

At that time, he made a boast that he would no longer hunt and gather like primitive people, but would directly conquer and enjoy the good life, thinking that he could use this desperate tactic to boost morale.

If we can't attack quickly now, our supply bar will probably be overwhelmed.

Mobilize the logistics team and the security team to go hunting and gathering, which will solve the food problem.

However, if you don't keep your word, it will be very difficult to gain trust later.

In short, as a brave man, I can't afford to lose face.

Second, he had already caused a big commotion in the two lizardmen's territories, and it was time for the lizardmen to take action.

Is it safe for the entire team to stay on the avenue like this?

These two problems directly locked the situation of the entire team.

If we advance, we will not be able to win in a head-on confrontation; if we retreat, we will have no supplies unless we learn hunting and gathering like primitive people again; if we wait, our future safety is still uncertain.

Therefore, after lunch, Abes stayed in the tent thinking hard.

Then, the curtain opened, and in walked a blonde half-elf and a silver-haired girl who followed closely behind Anivia.

"Why, are you still worried that this guy is plotting something bad against me? Anivia helped us determine the true situation of the wolf's footprints, which made us determined to fight instead of running away."

"She is a hero, so stop staring at her like that." Seeing the two people coming, Abes said with a smile.

But Kronos shook his head. "We have a good relationship now. She said she wanted to confess something to you. Maybe it will help you with your subsequent plans."

"Hmm?" Abes frowned and looked at Anivia again with anticipation.

The last time she spoke, she revealed that she was a druid and helped them determine that it was a warg and not a cavalryman.

What will she come up with this time?

"You must be very distressed. The wind is filled with sadness. Is this what you want?"

The blond half-elf opened his palm.
