Chapter 192: Subduing the Barbarians!

"No, stop!" Iron Bear shouted.

But the soldiers remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Iron Bear could only look at Gervas. "Noble Gervas, we surrender!"

At this moment, his former barbarian pride was completely shattered.

"Still calling me Noble Gervas?" Gervas remained in his leisurely manner.

Iron Bear felt both shame and urgency, but the agonized cries of his companions finally silenced his stubbornness.

"Mas... Master, we surrender! Please spare them!"

"That's right! See, that wasn't so hard!" Gervas smiled and looked up directly.

Seeing this, Lauren immediately shouted: "My lord has ordered the spear formation to cease attack!"

The guards immediately stopped attacking, raising their spears and wolf-bristles into the air.

The barbarians who had been amidst the blade forest finally found release, collapsing to the ground, turned into men of blood.

A crowd of barbarians rushed forward anxiously, looking at their bloodied companions with both anxiety and worry.

"Vic... Victory, my lord! The guards actually won! You defeated fifty barbarians with just fifty ordinary guards!"

Seeing this scene, Knight Mi Gen and the other knights finally reacted!

Their own lord had truly won.

Moreover, by calculation, it was a one-sided, crushing victory!

Gervas smiled faintly, paying it no mind.

"Thomas, Isabella!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Hearing this, Thomas and Isabella immediately took several girls and followed Gervas toward the barbarians.

And seeing Gervas approach, the barbarians all glared at him with anger.

Gervas paid it no mind and said calmly: "If you don't want them to die, then move aside!"

"Everyone, move aside!" Iron Bear's reprimand immediately followed.

"Captain Iron Bear... it was this noble's people who injured Bear One, Bear Two, and the others like this!"

"Silence! Do you refuse to obey my orders? And have you forgotten the oath I swore before the Giant God?"

"Do you want me to bear the sin of breaking my oath to the Giant God?"

Although the pitiful state of his companions made Iron Bear feel pain in his heart, he clearly understood that this noble had actually shown mercy.

Otherwise, if iron spearheads had been attached to the front of those spears, most of the clan would likely already be fallen.

Moreover, the opponent truly defeated them using ordinary guards.

Therefore, they must keep their oath.

Hearing Iron Bear's reprimand and questioning, the barbarians finally lowered their heads and silently moved to the sides.

Only then did Gervas nod in satisfaction. "Not bad, you have some self-awareness!"

Immediately, he signaled to Thomas and Isabella, and the two immediately moved.

Thomas first took the girls and used hot water and Mao Jin to wipe the blood from the bodies of the several barbarians.

Afterwards, Isabella took out medicinal powder and liquid and poured them onto the barbarians' bodies.

In the next instant, a miraculous scene appeared: the wounds on the barbarians' bodies visibly began to heal.

Although they ultimately stopped at the state of slight scabbing.

But this meant the few of them were no longer in mortal danger, avoiding the tragic fate of bleeding to death.

Even, the several barbarians no longer wailed, because the initial healing of the wounds reduced the pain by more than half.

"This..." Iron Bear and the crowd of barbarians stared in shock; they had never seen such a miraculous situation.

"These powders and liquids were extracted from one thousand kilograms of magic-beast meat containing mana, roughly equivalent to the meat quantity of three magic-beast wolves, worth at least one hundred gold coins!"

"Now these medicines have been completely used up, so, rescuing these few of them cost Lord Gervas over one hundred gold coins!"

Isabella glanced at the barbarians and coldly explained it to them.

Toward these barbarians, Isabella held no good attitude.

It was not because their appearance did not fit her aesthetic.

But because they had betrayed Lord Gervas's goodwill.

Until this moment, these fellows who should have been slaves still did not understand gratitude.

You must know, being bought by Lord Gervas is absolutely their fortune.

"Three magic-beast wolves? Worth one hundred gold coins?!" Iron Bear and the other barbarians were visibly moved.

What magic-beast wolves represented, they understood very clearly.

Even for their barbarian tribe, hunting magic beasts was very difficult.

Instead, they frequently suffered clan casualties due to the appearance of magic beasts.

Additionally, even if exchanged for the value of over one hundred gold coins, that would be enough to buy another batch of barbarian warriors like them.

Therefore, the noble before them truly owed them a debt of gratitude beyond measure.

Especially since this wizard had obviously prepared this in advance.

It showed that Gervas had thought of treating his injured clan members from the very beginning.

On the contrary, they themselves had been single-mindedly wanting to leave Storm Territory, and even after losing the competition, they were still unconvinced...

"Mas... Master! Thank you for your mercy!"

Iron Bear slowly knelt on the ground and spoke slowly toward Gervas.

Although the word "Master" was still not very comfortable to say, Iron Bear was already convinced in his heart.

The other barbarians, seeing this, though their whole bodies trembled and they felt extremely uncomfortable, finally slowly knelt down. "Mas... Master! Thank you for your mercy."

"All rise! Although you have become slaves, I, Gervas, am not a cruel master!"

"Especially for you barbarian warriors who possess courage, I grant you permission to forgo the kneeling prostration; you need only offer me a military salute!"

"Furthermore, you probably do not know that within my territory, as long as there is sufficient merit, even tomorrow, your slave status can be pardoned, and you can become serf subjects!"

"Therefore, shedding your slave status is actually not difficult!"

Gervas was very satisfied.

Although much time and resources were wasted, subduing these big fellows was equivalent to gaining a two-hundred-man infantry squad seasoned in battle.

Even if equipped with suitable battle armor and weapons, they could hold their own against an equal number of cavalry.

As for the cost of the potion that Isabella mentioned later, the actual cost was only one-fifth.

Because that potion was extracted from the scales of the Blue-Scaled Sea Beast.

Moreover, this potion was merely a first-tier potion of the lowest grade.

The wounds it could heal could not exceed six centimeters in length.

For larger wounds, it was ineffective.

Thus, this potion was actually for use by lightly wounded soldiers to rapidly restore combat effectiveness.

Of course, sometimes it could be used on the severely wounded, but it could only increase the survival rate slightly.

Of course, overall, only a transmigrator like Gervas, who possessed an intelligence system, could afford such extravagance with this potion.

Because for other nobles, possessing these materials meant they could be sold outright, or used to craft other, higher-grade potions.

Rather than being wasted on these 'consumables'.

【Ding! Daily intelligence refreshed...】

【Intelligence One: Located seventy nautical miles due east of Sugarcane Island, there is a small island of less than one thousand square kilometers; in fact, this is an active volcanic crater,

beneath which connects a source of elements. Because the source of elements is far too pure and concentrated, by chance, after being nurtured for thousands of years, it has actually given birth to an Element Spirit.

The Element Spirit can permanently increase the elemental concentration in its surroundings, causing crops and animals to grow more robust, and even providing immense benefits to the cultivation of Battle Qi.

Its effective range is one li.

This Element Spirit, during the earthquake three months ago, had already come to the surface through a crack.

However, because its location was in the ocean, the Element Spirit could only remain trapped there until death.

Without trees to replenish its elements, after three months of wind and rain, it has become dying, on the verge of death.】
