After the unfortunate incident with the Bolton soldiers, I went to Hornwood and stopped in the Training Space to train with the familiars, where I rested for a while.
Now, Po, Erebus, Berus, and I can fight the dummies without restraint.
After Berus grew into an adult dog, its timidity disappeared, and its personality became more protective and possessive.
As time went on, all my familiars became stronger than ordinary animals. At this point, while Berus could not bend steel, it could bend ordinary iron armor with its teeth.
On the other hand, Po has become more adept at using the wind element; she can now cast a dive bombardment spell from a height of about 6 meters. She has also learned a new spell, "Eludo jelmio" ( Eludo Jelmio ), to cast on herself.
Like Erebus, Berus grew stronger and stronger. His claws and beak were extremely sharp, capable of bending and scratching iron armor, and he continued to grow larger. He was now 1.6 meters long from head to toe, while Berus was 1.1 meters long from head to toe.
Im is less than 1 meter tall, but he has demonstrated his magical abilities. He can use earth elementals, spit poison, and spray. He cannot use any earth elemental attack spells, but he can dive into rocks or soil like water. As for his poison, he can send concentrated poison up to 6 meters or spray it in a 2-meter cone.
Sith and Lika are about 60 centimeters tall and love to fight, as they are beasts by nature, but I only let them fight against dummies that can only defend. While we continued training in the Training Space, I learned from Bo and Erebus's Crow retinue that there was a battle about 2 kilometers away.
We immediately left the Training Space, and I used Promodynes ( to Find Animal ). There were about 80 people fighting. Since I could contact the Dominated Crow at this distance, I looked at what was happening and saw that a caravan on the main road had been attacked. I thought this was a great opportunity to increase my reputation with Aermir's Squires, so I used all my Buff and started running in that direction.
When I arrived at the scene, I understood what had happened. Of the eighty people, fifty-three were civilians and twenty-seven were bandits. The scene was chaotic, and there wasn't a single real fighter among the civilians. They all tried to defend themselves with farm tools and sticks, resulting in many deaths.
I wasted no time and began shooting arrows at the bandits with the highest attributes. Before the bandits realized what was happening, I had killed ten of them. Of the remaining 40 villagers, only ten were still able to fight. The other 30 were children, the elderly, or men and women who were too afraid to fight.
Two villagers in the fight particularly caught my attention. One was 1.8 meters tall, wielding a huge wooden stick, swinging it like a club. This man had a strength of 8.5. The other was a boy of 12-14 years old, who moved nimbly around everyone as if he were coated in oil, stabbing anything that came near with his dagger.
What caught my attention about this child was his speed; he had a speed of 8.9. The fastest bandit only had a speed of 7.4, so they couldn't catch him, but it was clear that this child didn't know how to fight or use a dagger. Of the remaining 17 bandits, 7 had already begun to surround them, and another 10 were walking towards me.
I couldn't use spells to eliminate them like I did at the bandits' hideout because there were so many people around, so I had to use spells that wouldn't be noticeable in a crowd. As I approached the bandits, I also threw knives. Of the five knives I threw, three struck the bandits' vital points, and the other two caused minor cuts, but seeing that three more of their friends had died, they hesitated even more.
So I immediately seized the opportunity and attacked the furthest bandit. He blocked my first attack, but my next move caught him off guard. I slashed a deep gash on the inside of his calf. At the same time, as the other bandits tried to surround me, I dug a small hole in the Mold Earth with "formotegon," and the bandit in front of me tripped and fell to the ground.
The other three bandits following him were tripped and fell to the ground. This temporarily disabled four of the remaining six bandits. I placed Trap " (letagon) on the remaining bandit, and as the other two fell, he fell on top of them, causing a few seconds of stalemate. Meanwhile, I quickly dealt with the two remaining bandits.
Of the four robbers lying on the ground, only one was able to get up; the others were still struggling to get rid of their paralyzed friend. I threw another knife at one of the men struggling on the ground, striking him in the back.
Seeing this, another bandit attacked me, but thanks to my Buff, I had 8 points of strength and 9 points of speed. Therefore, none of the bandits could stand in my way. It took me several minutes to kill the remaining bandits. Seeing this, the bandits fighting the villagers began to flee. Of the ten villagers who had fought, only four remained.
Children, kill the fleeing bandits when they are out of the villagers' sight.
My familiars all happily agreed. They all turned into battle maniacs.
