World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 358

c358 Rub the bandage together

Two more days passed, and the Barren Land was still in flames.

Yang Yi stayed at the inn in Deadwater Village, making [Delicious Wind Snakes].

Compared to the deafening sound of killing outside, his days were as peaceful as living in a paradise.

“My cooking ability is stuck at ’20/20′. It seems that no matter how many [Delicious Wind Snakes] I make, I can’t break through. If I want to raise my cooking level to level 3, I need to find a high-level chef to be my teacher, or I need a level 3 cooking recipe skill book.” Yang Yi thought.

After three days of unremitting efforts, Yang Yi has made no less than 100 [Delicious Wind Snakes].

He is very tight on money now, and these 100 [Delicious Wind Snakes] are 100 golden coins in his eyes. No wonder he can stick to it.

Yang Yi is now very good at making [Delicious Wind Snakes]. It is no exaggeration to say that he can do it with his eyes closed.

Seeing that his proficiency was already full, but the cooking skill level could not be raised to level 3, he had no patience.

“If the cooking skill cannot be raised, then don’t waste time. Anyway, there are still many level 2 fishman chefs in Ratchet Town. When the time comes, send a few to Deadwater Village to make [Delicious Wind Snake].”

Yang Yi encouraged the Red Gill Chef and asked him to stay and continue to work hard, and then he left the inn.

He couldn’t leave Deadwater Village now, and there were fewer and fewer fish in the lake, and even fishing was not good.

After wandering around the village, he returned to the inn after half a day.

This time, Yang Yi not only came back alone, but also followed by several fish laborers. These fishman laborers carried large and small bags on their shoulders and hands and entered the inn.

Trapped in Deadwater Village, Yang Yi, who had nothing to do, decided to enrich himself and learn the professional skills that he had not had time to learn before.

Yang Yi held a book in each hand, the left hand was [First Aid Doctor’s Notes], and the right hand was [Intermediate First Aid Textbook – Bandage Binding]. The former was obtained by lottery, and the latter was bought from a merchant.

[First Aid Doctor’s Notes] contains the methods of making basic bandages and anti-poison potions related to first aid, and you can master first aid skills by learning it.

[Intermediate First Aid Textbook – Bandage Binding] is a one-time consumable skill book, which can be upgraded to an intermediate first aid doctor after learning it.

With these two skill books, plus the materials [linen], [wool] and [silk] brought by the murloc laborers to make first aid bandages, it is enough for Yang Yi to upgrade his first aid skills to level 4.

“With the skill book, I don’t even need a teacher. I don’t know when the fight outside will end, so I’ll just study first aid in the inn with peace of mind.”

Yang Yi found a reclining chair and read [First Aid Doctor’s Notes].

…

The northern part of the Barrens was filled with smoke.

The pursuit of the orc wolf cavalry and the Kokar Centaur cavalry continued.

Hezrul Bloodseal brought a total of 5,000 Kolkar Centaur warriors to attack Crossroads, which was almost all the fighting power of the Centaur in Sweetwater Oasis.

The reason why they chose to go out in full force to fight was not only because of Hezrul Bloodseal’s inner enthusiasm for war, but also because of practical reasons that had to be overcome.

The Kolkar Centaur had been harassed endlessly during this period, which made them very annoyed. These harassments did not come from orcs or tauren, but from adventurers.

Since the adventurer mercenaries recruited by the orcs mutinied in the Deadwater Oasis, the orcs realized that they could not organize the adventurers into teams to act with the orc army.

So Crossroads changed its strategy. They no longer recruited adventurer mercenaries on a large scale, but instead assigned tasks to adventurers.

Crossroads still posted a bounty notice on the bulletin board as before, facing all adventurers, asking them to hunt centaurs and collect centaurs’ ears. The difference is that now the bounty notice has a target number, for example, collecting 15 centaur ears will complete the task.

When an adventurer comes to the crossroads with 15 centaur ears, the orcs will give them a follow-up task, such as collecting 10 centaur wristbands of the Kolkar Plunderer.

When the adventurer completes the task again, the next task may be to bring back the turban of the Kolkar Storm Prophet, eliminate the centaur captain, kill the centaur leader, and so on.

Under such a strategy, the orcs do not have to take the adventurers around, but let the adventurers play freely. This not only saves the orcs trouble and effort, but also makes them more popular with adventurers.

So the Kolkar centaurs suffered.

Although the adventurers are not of high level, they are talented. They have all kinds of tricks to make the Dead Water Oasis restless.

In more than a month, nearly two hundred centaurs died under the swords of adventurers in the Sweet Water Oasis, which made Hezrul Bloodseal furious. He organized many counterattacks and killed several waves of the hateful adventurers.

But it was useless. Adventurers were like weeds in a barren land. No matter you cut them with a knife or burn them with fire, the next crop will still grow.

Adventurers were not only interested in the quest rewards at the crossroads, but also in the increased tribal reputation after completing the quests, so the threat of the centaurs could not offset the enthusiasm of the adventurers.

In the end, Hezrul Bloodseal was fed up with it and decided to do something big. He thought about simply taking down the crossroads that he had coveted for a long time. Solve the problem once and for all. Of course, the cruel and violent nature of the Kokar centaurs and their enthusiasm for plunder were also one of the main reasons why they launched this war.

After the Kokar Centaur army was dispatched, most of the soldiers stationed outside were gathered back at the crossroads, making the number of defenders at the crossroads more than 6,000.

Five thousand Kokar centaur warriors attacked the crossroads with 6,000 defenders. Even though seven thousand orc reinforcements were later added, the Kokar centaurs still did not shrink back and did not change their fanatical and warlike heart.

The majority of the orc army is infantry, and only about three thousand orc wolf cavalry can compete with the Kokar Centaur in terms of speed. This allows the Kokar Centaur to see the possibility of victory.

The cavalry pursuit battle is not only about speed, endurance is also the key to determine the burden.

Although the Kokar centaur is not as explosive as the orc marauder’s swift warg, the centaur’s endurance is stronger.

The Orc Wolf Cavalry must stop to rest and feed after running for a certain distance. Therefore, when the Kokar Centaur is chased by the Orc Wolf Cavalry, the large force can always escape and then choose an opportunity to launch a new round of offensive.

In the three days since the war began, the Kokar Centaurs have lost more than 400 warriors, and the casualties have reached nearly 10%. But the losses of the orcs were even more severe. Twice as many orc soldiers died under the arrows of the centaur bows. In addition to some crossroads defenders and orc wolf cavalry, there were also several orc soldiers passing by guard posts along the way.

At noon on this day, the crossroads were shrouded in Liege.

The garrison soldiers were constantly rotating their posts day and night. They were already exhausted and all of them were drowsy.

Suddenly a rapid horn sound came from the distance, and the Kokar Centaur army somehow circled back and launched another attack on the crossroads.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” Orc Thok was the leader of the crossroads. He patrolled the defense line with a giant sword and shouted anxiously after hearing the sound of the horn. “Cheer up, all of you, cheer up!”

“Damn it, why didn’t you see the warning smoke rising in front of you? Could it be that the sentry team over there has been…” Orc Thok’s heart sank, and he knew that what he was worried about might have happened.

The Kokar Centaur’s maneuverability on the plains was unmatched by the Orc Sentinels, and they may have been killed.

The defenders at the crossroads regained their strength and relied on fortifications to once again resist the Centaur bow and arrow attacks.

After a few rounds of shooting, the rocket fell again.

The fire that had just been extinguished erupted again at the intersection.

The orc Thok’s eyesight was splitting, and he wanted to lead the defenders to rush out and fight to the death with the Kokar Centaur, but in the end he held back.

The overall commander of this battle was not Thok, the leader of the crossroads, but Eitrigg, the war chief’s war advisor, so Thok could only obey orders.

The defenders at the crossroads held the line in disarray.

After holding on for an hour, the belated Orc Wolf Cavalry team finally appeared outside the horizon.

Orc Thok had never felt that an hour was so long. He looked forward to it, and finally waited until the orc wolf cavalry approached. Then he raised his arms and shouted, leading the defenders to rush out of the fortifications.

“Power and glory! For the Horde!”

The orc Sok shouted and rushed to the front, wishing to kill all the centaurs in front of him with one sword.

“For the tribe!”

The defenders at the crossroads had been frustrated for a long time, and they rushed to charge in the direction of the centaurs.

Hezrul Blood Seal just laughed and waved his hand. “withdraw.”

The Kokar centaur escaped again before being attacked from both sides.

Tactics such as marching, detours, insertions, and false defeats are all the foundation of the Centaur. They are already extremely skilled in retreat.

The defenders at the crossroads fell into the air again, and the orc Thok stomped his feet in anger.

The orc wolf cavalry continued to pursue the fleeing Kokar centaur.

…

In the hotel that was still a backwater village, Yang Yi stood in front of a large dining table. The table was piled with [Linen Bandages] and [Thick Linen Bandages] made of [Linen Cloth].

In the morning, Yang Yi read the “Emergency Doctor’s Notes” from beginning to end and learned the first aid skills.

At that time, he thought that first aid was nothing more than that. I didn’t know how to do it immediately. He could reach level 4 in one day.

What Yang Yi didn’t expect was that what awaited him next was a long and boring journey of rubbing first-aid bandages.

Each [Linen Bandage] requires one [Linen Cloth], and each [Thick Linen Bandage] requires two [Linen Cloths].

Yang Yi spent half a day rubbing the [linen bandage], and then spent most of the day continuing to rub the [thick linen bandage].

At the end of the day, Yang Yi’s eyesight was blurred. His back was sore and his hands were cramped. As a result, his first aid skills were still at level 1.

After numbly rubbing another [thick linen bandage], Yang Yi didn’t hear the upgrade prompt he had been waiting for.

Even so, he couldn’t help but take another look at his attributes with the Lord’s Eyes.

“Hey, it’s still ‘First Aid 10/10’…” Yang Yi sighed, “When will it be upgraded to level 2?”

The little murloc Empty Wine Barrel waited in the hotel for a long time. Hearing the mayor sigh, he encouraged: “Come on, mayor, you can make level 2 bandages when you upgrade to level 2. Look, mayor, I have already prepared it for you.” The [wool materials] used to make level 2 bandages were picked out and piled together.”

Yang Yi glanced at the bags containing woolen materials that were piled almost to the ceiling, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
