Chapter 448: The Small Fortress

This world is very large, this is Wu Pifu's feeling after coming to this world for a day and a night.

It was not obvious in the forest. When he came to the boundless grass, this feeling was much deeper. Not to mention anything else, even if Wu Pifu's body was weak to the extreme, he could still see the distant sky when concentrating blood energy. And when looking at the distance on the grass, the horizon seen was not the kind seen on Earth, but a hazy zone formed because the viewing distance was too far. Even this hazy zone could vaguely see buildings or mountains in the extremely distant distance.

This world is probably not a spherical shape like Earth or a planet, but a form like the "Heaven is round and the Earth is square" in myths and legends. It's just that I don't know how big this world is, or is it still a planet? Just a bigger planet? But what about gravity?

Wu Pifu was full of wild thoughts, various miscellaneous thoughts were born, this was because his spirit was incomparably weak, and from time to time he would feel his brain twitch and hurt, so miscellaneous thoughts were naturally born. Now, except for the control of "Seeing God, Indestructible" that still existed, other power systems were almost weak to the extreme.

Walking east from the edge of the forest, Wu Pifu's walking speed was not fast, even slightly slower than the walking speed of ordinary people. Along the way, he was trying to find food, from grass seeds to insects, from various flowers to small granular fruits, and the food given by the female creature, about two or three catties, but they were all dried meat, which was high-quality protein. Wu Pifu had chewed and eaten it all.

Eating and walking, about one o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Pifu found traces of human life. There were wheel marks pressed by heavy objects in the wild, and traces of walking pressed by a large group of people, horses, and other livestock. Following these traces, Wu Pifu walked for about another hour, and he saw reclaimed wild farmland.

However, Wu Pifu only looked at these farmlands for a few eyes, and his brows frowned slightly.

These farmlands were not the kind of vast farmland areas, but small pieces of irregular farmland pieced together. And the crops planted were leaning, and there was no neatness at all. Although there were no weeds, it could be seen that they had been managed, but there was no doubt that this was completely different from the modern agriculture Wu Pifu knew.

Just from this, it could be seen that the technological level of this world was estimated to be very poor.

Thinking of the female creatures in the forest, this world might still be a world where multiple intelligent creatures live together, but it is not yet known whether this world is in war, or has a fixed independent regime, or multiple regimes, etc.

Thinking about these, Wu Pifu continued to move forward in the direction where the farmland was dense. He did not go to these farmlands to pick vegetables. The energy and nutrition that these vegetables could give were very scarce, and it was not as nutritious as some insects like grasshoppers he caught.

However, having a village and a gathering of people meant safety, at least not worrying about a group of beasts or monsters suddenly rushing out in the wild, and this also meant that there could be a safe residence and a more stable and more food source. These were what he needed urgently now. The only thing to worry about was how to integrate into them. After all, if this was in a very backward, feudal, and possibly serf-like ancient environment, then any people in the village would be vigilant and resistant to outsiders.

Wu Pifu walked along the farmland, and soon he saw a village... Is this not a village? Is it a market, or a small fortress?

From the previous signs, he might have to face a very ancient, backward, feudal, and possibly serf-like extremely broken small village, full of shit and urine, broken clothes, serfs, etc. These he had already expected.

But what was presented in front of him was a small fortress with multiple guard posts and arrow towers, although low, it was indeed a small fortress made of earth, gray and stone. And leaning outside this fortress were a large number of old and short thatched houses. There were indeed many people who looked like serfs, short, thin, and gray-black.

But on the road facing the fortress, there were cargo carriages, pedestrians wearing decent clothes, armed personnel wearing armor and holding weapons, and even a few cavalrymen riding horses, or similar armed personnel. Although it was not said that people were coming and going, at least hundreds of people were seen within Wu Pifu's reach, and his arrival did not cause any onlookers or special attention, because there were more than a dozen people with similar images to him, some even more miserable than him, and they could only be dragged into the fortress by a large flatbed cart pulled by two horses.

Wu Pifu was tall and big, even if he looked extremely miserable, and his muscles were atrophied and fat was almost exhausted, but the skeleton was here. When he walked to the fortress gate, the people around actually looked at him with envious and respectful eyes, and the four soldiers guarding the fortress gate did not stop him at all, letting him walk into the fortress. At the same time, when he walked in, soldiers waved to him, and more than a dozen people with similarly miserable images went in the same direction. Wu Pifu didn't care, followed them forward, and saw a small playground. The playground was full of people with broken weapons, rotten armor, and injuries all over their bodies. However, none of them were as seriously injured as him.

After arriving at the playground, soon a few people who looked like serfs brought a large pot of black stuff, and soldiers stepped forward to give everyone who had just arrived a full bowl of paste, which looked green and gray, and at the same time, each person was given a large gray-black cake.

Although it looked disgusting, and it must be neither clean nor hygienic, Wu Pifu didn't care about these, and he was not a hypocritical person. If there is good stuff to eat, if there are conditions to be particular, he will not hate fine delicacies. If there is no good stuff to eat, if there are no conditions to be particular, he can even eat grass roots. At this time, he was not polite, picked up a large bowl and drank all the paste in one gulp, and then swallowed the large cake in a few bites. Others who had just arrived were even blowing at the paste, wanting to blow it cold before drinking.

The soldier who distributed the food was stunned. He looked at the large pot with a little paste left, and then at the two large cakes left, and simply gave all the remaining paste to Wu Pifu, and the two large cakes were also given to him.

The surrounding wounded were silent, each eating their own food, only looking at Wu Pifu with envy.

Wu Pifu was not polite, the paste was still swallowed in one gulp, and then he tore and chewed the cake, eating it all in less than a minute.

From his observation, the highest of the wounded on the field was estimated to be about 1.7 meters, and most of them were between 1.5 and 1.6 meters. Although they had muscles and good physique, the height could not be faked. Obviously, they were all born as ordinary mortals.

And he was over 1.9 meters tall when standing, at least two heads taller than the tallest person on the field, and his shoulders were wide and his skeleton was large. Although he was covered in injuries and his muscles were atrophied, he still looked like a big man.

And as he ate all the food, a sound like cheering came from not far away. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few soldiers guarding a person who looked like an officer. This officer wore thick leather armor and had iron armor to protect his vital parts. He seemed to be eating too. Seeing Wu Pifu eating and drinking heartily, and his figure was tall and big, he couldn't help but cheer, and then said a lot of words in a gibberish.

But Wu Pifu couldn't understand what he said at all, just stood in place and looked at him.

The officer was stunned for a moment, and someone said something to him beside him. He looked at Wu Pifu up and down, and saw that there was a bird and a dog in the broken cloth beside him, so he nodded and talked to the soldiers beside him.

However, after a while, a person wearing a gray linen robe ran over. He talked to the officer for a few sentences, then chanted something, and held a pair of wing-sculpted decorations in his hand. Immediately after, light emerged from his decorations and body, and this light fell on Wu Pifu. Only then did this person say: "... It can last for three days and three nights. When the sun reaches the middle of the sky on the fourth day, your mastery of language will expire."

After speaking, he didn't care about Wu Pifu's reaction, turned and ran to a building behind him.

The officer said from far away: "Barbarian, I ask you, how is your tribal army?"

Wu Pifu shook his head directly: "I don't know, I just came here."

The officer nodded, thought for a while and said: "That's right, you barbarians know the least about discipline, but the fighting is still fierce. Looking at your injuries, I can imagine the bitter battle you experienced... Okay, a good soldier should get good treatment. I will let the priest treat you after the evening prayer, and I also know that you barbarians eat a lot, your food ration is tripled, and if you have military merit, you can double it."

After speaking, the officer picked up a piece of food that looked like a roast chicken from his table and threw it at Wu Pifu from far away.

Wu Pifu caught it in the air, nodded slightly at the officer, then found a vacant lot and sat down, and began to eat the roast chicken.

And after dusk, the priest who had performed the mastery of language for him came again, chanted a lot of spells that he couldn't understand, and then a white light fell on him. A stream of heat came out of thin air and circulated in his flesh, bones, and bones, and he didn't suppress anything. This white light began to heal his flesh and bones, and even his eyelids and lips began to heal and grow on their own, and the missing skin on his body gradually grew out, but it was not enough to treat all his injuries.

And this priest was still in a hurry, only performed this healing magic, and didn't care whether Wu Pifu was fully healed, turned and left, still going to the building similar to a church or sanctuary.

Wu Pifu was still silent, just sitting in place, silently feeling the healing of his body, while treating the injuries of the three small animals, while carefully listening to the conversations of the wounded around him.

This world... seems to be in chaos everywhere.

However, this also allowed him to muddle through. It seems that there is a kind of human called barbarian in this world, whose body is tall and big enough. The people of this world mistook him for a barbarian, and it seems that the forces of this fortress are fighting on the front line, and this is one of the supply points and transit stations, and will also accept small groups of wounded soldiers who retreated from the front line, so his arrival did not cause any suspicion.

(... It's really luck.)

Wu Pifu treated the three small animals, then lay on the ground beside him, while carefully thinking about his action policy after that.

(First find out the situation, then participate in the war as a barbarian, seize a certain merit, at least have a place to stay, enough food, and then consider others after my strength is restored. Since I can come in, there must be a way to go out...)

I remember you!
