Eternal Night

Chapter 446 Title, Forest Witch

(PS: More updates will be added tomorrow.)
In fact, what Wu Xianxiao didn’t know was that he thought he was “getting away with it”, but that was not the case.

This fortress is located at the supply node of the front-line war, and it itself is an important defense point against enemy war zones. There is a small magic tower in the fortress, and magicians are stationed there all year round.

In fact, Wu Xianxiao's judgment of this world comes from "technological" civilization. This world not only has priests, but also magicians, or other various supernatural systems. The supernatural operations in them are completely different from technological civilization.

When he arrived at the city gate, there had already been a scan of the essence of life. If he was not human, there would have been an alarm. At the same time, any registered soldier would have recorded that he was not on the roster. However, his height was too deceptive. Not only did the officers think he was a barbarian, but the magicians and apprentices in the magic tower also thought so.

In addition, the three small animals he brought with him, especially Jiujiu and Daphne, all have demon blood, and are classified as Warcraft in the magic tower's scan. This also perfectly fits the characteristics of a barbarian, who is tall and strong, and can sign contracts with certain Warcraft and even borrow the power of these Warcraft.

Seriously injured, tall and strong, carrying two dying monsters... yes, it's a barbarian!
Because this world is special, after confirming that Wu Xianxiao is a barbarian, the people in the Mage Tower have already believed that he is a barbarian soldier who has not yet been registered. Recently, several barbarian tribes have joined the team of Maduo Yishen. Most of these barbarians cannot understand the common language, have no records, and have no beliefs. They are recruited as cannon fodder, so it is entirely possible that Wu Xianxiao has not been registered.

But they are just cannon fodder anyway, they just need to be provided with food. Mages have a very high status, equivalent to that of priests, so they naturally know that even if there are any remnants of these barbarians after this battle, they will probably be cleansed by the Winged God Maduo, either as sacrifices or as materials. In any case, it is unlikely that the Winged God Maduo will let the barbarians survive. After all, barbarians are recognized as a group without faith, and keeping them would be troublesome.

Wu Xianxiao naturally didn't know these things, and even if he knew it wouldn't matter. What he lacked now was recovery time. Once he fully recovered, there was nowhere in this vast world that he couldn't go.

In this military camp, Wu Xianxiao had a rare chance to relax and rest for a night.

Early the next morning, he really got three times as much food as the people around him. There was nothing to say about it. After a while of eating and drinking, in the morning, a ball of white light suddenly emerged from the top of the religious building. The white light rose into the sky and then turned into white light particles that fell like rain. Most of them penetrated into the wounded soldiers. Even Wu Xianxiao was affected a lot. Then all the wounded began to heal. Except for the broken hands and feet, there were obvious changes in the rest of the serious injuries.

This time, Wu Xianxiao did not let the white light heal his body. Instead, when the white light entered his body, he sensed all the changes in his body. At the same time, he extended his fingers to the three small animals. Then the healing energy generated by the white light was gathered and transformed by his body, turning into controllable heat and shock waves, which acted on the bodies of the three small animals. After a long time, the bodies of the three small animals had recovered a lot, and the natural recovery speed was also constantly increasing.

Not long after, a messenger arrived at the barracks and shouted, "Except for those with severe injuries, all others must arrive at the main military camp within one day, otherwise their registration will be revoked and they will lose the protection of the Winged God of Maduo!!"

Although the rest of the wounded soldiers still looked a little weak, except for those with broken limbs, the others began to stand up with numb faces, and then went to the warehouse behind the messenger to exchange for new weapons and paper armor. Some special soldiers could even exchange them for a leather shield and a piece of leather armor.

Just as Wu Xianxiao stood up, another clerk came with a document. He stood in front of Wu Xianxiao and looked up and said, "Barbarian, you also need to register. Really, a barbarian is a barbarian. You went to the battlefield without even registering. Don't you know that you won't get any merit at all? Come on, register now. Your tribe is that one."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "I don't know, it's a human tribe."

The clerk rolled his eyes, lowered his head and said while recording: "Then let's go to the Eagle Tribe. This tribe has the largest number of people... What's your name?"

"Wu Xianxiao."

"Wu... the pronunciation is weird, is it a little bug named Wu?"

"Wu Xianxiao."

"I see. A little bug named Wu... is really strange. Can't you barbarians give yourself nice names? Either a bear, a wild boar, or a lion scorpion, but you just named yourself a bug..."

"Wu Xianxiao."

"I know, I've recorded it... Come to think of it, you do look very weak. Although you are tall and strong, this is the first time I've seen such a weak barbarian like you."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned, and did not bother to correct the other party's description of his name. He looked at the clerk in surprise and asked, "Really? Do I really look weak?"

The clerk was stunned. He was confused and asked, "Are you...sick in the brain?"

Wu Xianxiao saw the numbers in the corner of his eyes jump. If he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't be able to see these tiny jumps. But with this change and what the clerk said, he suddenly felt relieved and couldn't help laughing. The clerk continued to be confused. He rolled his eyes, quickly recorded it, and said quickly: "Okay, no matter what merits you have made before, no matter how many enemies you have killed, they are now invalid. From now on, you are a first-level private. You will be promoted one level for each enemy you kill. After you become a third-level private, you will have your own tent, a piece of meat for each meal, and gold and silver rewards for killing enemies, as well as leather shields and leather armor... Anyway, there are many benefits. Go, fight for the Maduo Winged God!"

After a while, the clerk came to the magic tower. Although he was not a magician, he could still enter the bottom floor of the magic tower, from where he could enter information and have the magic tower transmit it to the main magic tower in the main city.

A magic apprentice asked, "Has that barbarian been included in the soldier list?"

The clerk immediately said respectfully: "Yes, a weak and stupid barbarian, but he is lucky enough to join our Mado Winged God camp, and even treat his injuries."

The magic apprentice smiled but said nothing. After the clerk finished entering the information, the magic apprentice came to the second floor of the magic tower and respectfully said to the meditating magician, "Teacher, I was right. That tall and strong barbarian is actually very weak. Even ordinary people can sense it."

The magician opened his eyes and said, "It just so happens that the front line needs a living sacrifice. This strong and weak mortal is just the right person to be used as a sacrifice. However, this is the judgment of the chief priest and the gods at the front line. We will be rewarded if we send him back to the front line."

The magic apprentice nodded respectfully, and the magician asked again: "After defeating the front army of the Sheep-Headed God, the only one left around is the God of Natural Purity... In fact, it's just an old tree spirit. But the trouble is the forest witches. It is said that these forest witches are good at long-range bows and arrows. Although there are few in number, most of them are extraordinary. It seems that the magicians from the main city will also come. At that time, I will go out in person to cooperate with them to defeat the forest. You go and pick five of the magic sheepskin scrolls that I made before. I will start preparing to make magic scrolls in the next few days."

"Yes."

On the other side, Wu Xianxiao received an oversized paper armor, which was actually made by crushing and pressing a large amount of weeds and cloth. It could defend against long-range arrows to a certain extent, but its defensive power was far inferior to leather armor. For ordinary people, it was at least a layer of protection, and Wu Xianxiao naturally didn't care. But now he was naked, so he just compromised and put on the paper armor.

Just like that, Wu Xianxiao and many other wounded soldiers who had recovered received protective weapons and a large pancake each. Then they were sent out of the city by the soldiers and walked towards the far end of the road.

Wu Xianxiao remained silent along the way, and the other ten or so wounded soldiers did not speak to him either, and even stayed away from him. However, he could still understand the language of this world now, so it didn't matter even if they were far away, he could still hear it.

From the mouths of these wounded soldiers, Wu Xianxiao gained a general understanding of the situation of this force.

This force is called the Maduo Winged God Camp. They believe in the Maduo Winged God, have a main city, twelve villages, six defensive fortresses, and occupy this grassland area.

In the past year, the Winged God Maduo personally led the army to attack, and with the cooperation of magicians and priests, he also summoned several barbarian tribes in the nearby mountainous areas to help. This immediately wiped out several small forces nearby, and waged a war with the Sheep-Headed God of another city-state, and was about to defeat the Sheep-Headed God's vanguard.

"...But if we sweep all the surrounding wild gods like this, we will offend too many gods."

"A lot? What kind of gods are those wild gods and false gods? They don't even have a thousand followers. They are all chaotic and ignorant little hairy gods. As long as their followers are killed or betrayed, their domains will collapse. If their original bodies are killed, these hairy gods will not be able to revive. This will not only strengthen our Maduo Winged God and increase the strength of its domain, but also take its territory into our pocket."

"Yes, territory is the most important. I heard that if we win this battle, not only can we severely damage the arrogance of the Sheep-Headed God, but we can also establish a second city. A second city can provide so many fiefs and positions."

"Forget about the fiefdom. The most we can get is a position that can be inherited from God. It would be great if we have this position. We won't have to worry about food and drink, and we won't have to worry about going to the battlefield."

This paragraph was the most valuable words Wu Xianxiao had ever heard.

Obviously, this world is full of disputes and wars, and even the power of a city can conquer all directions. In addition, there are too much information about gods, wild gods, beliefs, divine realms, etc., which makes Wu Xianxiao confused.

(But...are the gods in this world such cheap things? Are there many gods around a city? Or are all the stronger extraordinary beings in this world gods?)
Wu Xianxiao thought silently, but he was not worried. He just wanted to live his life and wait for his injuries to heal. What did the disputes among the gods have to do with him?

At the same time, at the edge of the forest where Wu Xianxiao came to this world, dozens of fully armed scouts arrived, led by a magician in a robe. The scouts went deep into the forest to explore the terrain and size, and the magician recorded it in a book. Then the information was gathered through magic to the magic tower in the main city.

The topography of this forest is slowly being documented.
