Chapter Thirteen: Lord Wang's Worries

Under the command of Qifeng and Liuyun, the remaining orcs were dealt with. When cleaning the battlefield and counting casualties, they found that almost all the living people were injured, and the archers' archers were empty. Many people stepped forward to fight. The mage and Taoist priest were exhausted, with nearly one-third of the deaths in battle. Some seriously injured were treated by Taoist priests, saving their lives.

Those who survived first analyze the current situation.

Liuyun said: "If all the orcs gathered here just now are Beech's orcs, then at least more than half are less than the previous estimate. Although they are not sure why they are so fewer in number, losing the warrior's weapons will not be a big threat to Biqi's orcs in the territory in a short period of time."

Jifeng also said: "That's right, but this battle is really dangerous. If the warrior doesn't come out again, we can't find their leader, and most of them will be wiped out."

After saying this, everyone started to take action, physical therapy and bandage for minor injuries, relieve the burden on Taoist priests, rebuild fortifications, and dispose of the bodies. After all, people who entered the cave did not know when they would come out.

He Ming felt the bones on his body hurt like something was being knocked by a knock, so he had to sit down at the resting place in the middle to rest, but he didn't know that as soon as the force passed, he immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found that it was not dawn, so he moved his arms and felt better. At this time, someone next to him ran to shout at Jifeng and said, "That boy is actually awake!"

He Ming saw Jifeng and the two Taoist priests running towards this side and asked them in confusion: "What's wrong? Didn't I just sleep for a while? Isn't it still dawn?"

Jifeng said with a cold face: "You have several fractures on your body and are still a little bit. When you were besieged by five orcs, your internal organs were also damaged in many places! It was not what we discovered that several Taoist priests tried hard to use healing techniques on you, and you wouldn't wake up. You have been in a coma for more than a day and a night so far, so what's wrong!"

He Ming then realized that they had been here for a day and a night, and Jifeng and Liuyun took turns to be on duty. Now it was Liuyun's time to rest. Liuyun had special care for He Ming because he helped to cover up his help, otherwise he would not have the energy to let several Taoist priests treat him.

He Ming quickly wanted to get up and thank Jifeng, but was about to get up but found that his whole body was like a knife when he moved. He had to give up and then lay down and thank Jifeng with sweat: "Thank you for your care, senior, He Ming will never forget his life-saving grace!"

Jifeng smiled and said, "Bich has been in danger for many years. Every warrior who is ready to die is our brother. It is our favorite thing to be alive. How can you be grateful if you are grateful!"

"How are the people entering the cave now?" He Ming asked when he heard Jifeng say this.

Jifeng said: "During the day, they sent someone to come out first, telling us that although the monsters inside are weird and powerful, they are not dense, and they have no contact with each other. They are all unconscious puppets and should not pose a threat to people outside. So they first ask for a letter to report it, and then continue to investigate. Now they know that there is no big problem outside, so they are not so anxious to come out, and strive to find out more truths."

He Ming felt relieved after hearing this, so he continued to lie down and wait. Although the crisis had passed, everyone here was still very cautious and no one whispered to each other.

It was unknown how long it took for the time to pass in silence, and the sound of insects and the sound of beasts in the distance made everyone unable to completely calm down. Just as He Ming was thinking about it, Teacher Liu led the people into the cave. Seeing that everyone was not too late to ask about He Ming's situation, he exchanged information inside and outside with Jifeng first, and then asked everyone to prepare to return to the city, and then came to see He Ming.

He Ming was grateful and wanted to get up again, but he couldn't move. Teacher Liu told him to lie down first and not to worry. Then everyone who rested got up, Liuyun called a stretcher specifically for He Ming to carry him back.

After returning to Beech City, Teacher Liu directly arranged for He Ming to recuperate on the second floor of the martial arts hall. He asked a doctor to come here for treatment every day, and sent a servant to take care of him. He Ming's bone injury was fine, but his internal injuries were too serious and he was inconvenient to move. If Liuyun had not taken care of him at that time, he might have been as unsuccessful as the warriors who died on the spot.

Although He Ming missed the grand triumphal celebration banquet because of his serious injury. But he was extremely lucky: he saved his life. It was not easy. He was taken care of by people for a month on the second floor of the martial arts hall, and he was completely restored until the third month. It was difficult for him to be isolated for so long. However, because of this, he could completely calm down and comprehend what he had learned so far. Although he could not practice it, his swordsmanship level was greatly improved. Unlike before, he had been polished by passion and practical combat. Now if he took action again, his progress would be greatly improved in a short period of time.

Just three months after He Ming recovered from his injuries, Biqi City underwent earth-shaking changes: After Qifeng and Liuyun returned to Biqi, they reported the current actual situation of the orcs to the city lord. After sending investigators to confirm, there were no traces of orcs around Biqi except for the mountains in the northwest. The scope of planting, hunting and gathering resources was greatly improved.

So the city lord launched a call for pioneering action, and the pressure on people in Biqi was greatly reduced. As the proposer and guarantor of the mountain adventure, Lord Wang was publicly commended by the city lord and now has a reputation for being the same. At the same time, because the pioneering requires a large amount of labor, Lord Yu's policy of governing homeless people caused Biqi to decrease the population and was blamed by the city lord, but he did not actually punish him.

At the same time, since the threat of orcs has indeed decreased, the priority of cultivating new warriors has been reduced. Now, in the Ginkgo Valley and the Border Village, the city lord no longer invests in providing all living expenses for the apprentices, but the tuition for learning martial arts and magic is still borne by Biqi City, so as to invest more resources in the expansion of the city.

The construction of a significant increase has caused serious gaps in tools. Biqi casts weapons and farm tools, and has increased the price of purchasing ore. Now, some people go to mining caves east of Biqi for income. In short, Biqi is in a waste of money, and a new era is just around the corner.

That afternoon, until the doctor had confirmed that his injury had recovered, Teacher Liu allowed He Ming to go downstairs. Because no matter which doctor or Taoist priest, they all agreed that He Ming's injury was so serious this time, because the secret injury had not healed for a long time and had been involved in the battle. According to this well-known doctor of Biqi, He Ming's internal injury was about one step away from lifelong paralysis, so Teacher Liu prohibited him from letting He Ming go downstairs before he recovered from injury. He Ming was really grateful for his father-like care like Teacher Liu.

In fact, He Ming himself was very afraid of the doctor's words. If a person like him is paralyzed, it would be better to die. But everything has passed. After this examination, the doctor confirmed that after he was completely healed, he would move his muscles and bones. He had never felt so good.

The first thing He Ming did after he recovered from his injury was to go downstairs to inform Teacher Liu of his complete injury.

Teacher Liu seemed extremely happy to know that He Ming was recovering from his injury and almost treated him. Then he could clearly see that He Ming had been recuperating for so long, and his bones were probably itchy. So he reminded him that it was already cold winter, so he kept warm and let He Ming move freely.

After saying goodbye to Teacher Liu, He Ming's first thing was to go to Lord Wang's mansion first.

This time, Lord Wang was not so busy. For a long time, Lord Wang had to deal with civilian affairs and also did research on orcs and history, which was a serious overdrawn work. The city lord realized that Lord Wang seemed to be over ten years old during this period, so he asked Lord Wang to temporarily study ancient classics and history. Those troublesome family questions were handed over to Lord Yu to deal with, giving him the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious contributions. So when He Ming arrived at Lord Wang's mansion, Lord Wang was concentrating on studying classics by the fire.

As soon as he saw He Ming coming, Lord Wang looked very happy and hurriedly asked He Ming to sit down and closed the book he was still reading just now.

Lord Wang smiled and said, "He Ming, your performance in that night battle has made many people praise it. I heard that your old injuries have not healed, but they are fighting on the front line, which makes them admire them very much. I heard that the injury was quite serious this time, which makes me very worried. Is the injury better now?"

He Ming quickly said, "Thank you, Lord Wang for your trouble. The villain has completely recovered. I have never felt that it is so good now!"

Lord Wang said with a look of relief: "That's good, that's good! Come and see. When Biqi was developing this time, someone found an ancient book in an old house that collapsed outside the city. It recorded some unheard news and sent it to me. It said that the orcs lost their civilization after being exposed to some evil things. Now that we are safe, many adventurers are going to the orc cave to explore. I am a little worried that the evil mentioned above will affect humans."

He Ming was shocked when he heard this: "It's finally safe, why are these people going to the orc cave to do?"

Lord Wang said: "Man is dead for money. Now we have not fully mastered the technique of enchanting jewelry in the orcs. After exploring the cave, we found that there are many valuable things in it, such as the last trophy orc warrior battle axe, which is a very powerful weapon, but it is not particularly rare in the cave. Now, in response to the city lord's further exploration there, we mainly search for valuable treasures in ancient times there."
