Abe the Wizard - Chapter 589
Chapter 589: Information
Head Commander Brodley shouted, ‘Markham, be careful.’ Then, he and his mount became phantoms that rushed into the battle.
He was using the skill “charge”, but its power was essentially different from the other knights. It had greater power and speed. Mana was required for using this skill, so Ii seemed more like a secret skill used by head commanders.
Head Commander Brodley rushed into the forefront of the wolf riders. Then, he swung his sword. The enemy quickly resisted with the spears.
However, Head Commander Brodley had gained a double damage boost from the charged skill. His sword cut through the spear and landed on a wolf rider’s shoulder. Then, after another swing, the wolf rider was cut into half together with the wolf he rode.
There were five wolf riders in the squad. Just when Head Commander Brodley killed one of them. The remaining wolf riders immediately charged toward him.
One of the wolf riders tried to make a howl behind the squad, but the sound was stopped before it was heard.
An arrow from Abel penetrated its throat. It prevented the wolf rider from calling for reinforcements.
The remaining wolf riders were no match for Head Commander Brodley. They were killed with just a few swings.
‘Is Basil okay?’ K3305 asked Head Commander Markham.
Head Commander Markham answered, “Yeah, he is fine for now. The arrow was not poisoned; we just need to remove the arrow and apply some medicine. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to join us for the battle in the next few days.”
“Use this potion.” Abel took out a bottle of blue quality “healing potion” from the portal bag and gave it to Head Commander Markham.
“Good stuff .” Head Commander said while accepting the potion from Abel.
“There is no need to apply it to the wound. Just drink the potion and remove the arrow.” Abel reminded Head Commander Markham.
Head Commander Markham hesitated for a moment because logically, the blood wouldn’t stop bleeding until they applied the potion onto the wound.
However, he had faith in Abel’s words. He poured the blue quality healing potion into Basil’s mouth.
“Basil, hold on!” Head Commander Markham shouted.
He pulled out the arrow with a strong force. Just when he thought the blood would bleed. A blue light flashed and sealed the blood from leaking out. Meanwhile, the wound started healing before his eyes.
Just as expected, Basil sobered up and said to Head Commander Markham. “Thanks for your help, Lord Markham.”
Head Commander Markham stared at the bottle of the healing potion. Then he said to Basil, “You should thank K3516 instead. It was the potion he gave that saved your life.”
K3308 became very confused. He didn’t understand how Abel got his hands on so many rare items. He was a little jealous of Abel.
Honestly, if he was the one with the blue quality healing potion, he would have been reluctant to use it on a warrior he had just met. A potion with such quality and effects could definitely save his own life when it was needed.
However, Abel just gave it out with no consideration.
“Thank you, Lord Wizard.” Basil knew how bad his injuries were. Since the potion was able to heal his injury and regained most of his strength, the potion must have been precious. He quickly stood up and bowed in thanks.
“No worries. Now, tell me what you have found.” Abel asked.
“Yes, my lords. We should get out of here immediately. There are a hundred wolf riders ahead.” Basil quickly said as he recalled his mission.
“A Hundred,” Abel and K3305 stared at K3308. At this moment, K3308 must be deeply regretting what he had said before.
“I’m just kidding. It’s none of my business.” K3308 quickly explained when he realized the crowd’s attention.
“Let’s not make fun of K3308 and talk about what to do next, shall we?” Head Commander Brodley interrupted.
“How strong were the hundred wolf riders squad you saw?” Head Commander Brodley asked Basil.
‘Very strong, I was spotted from a hundred meters away. In the squad, there were a few bear riders.’ Basil as a hunter, had very sharp eyes. With just a glimpse, he could analyze the squad completely.
“Bear riders.” Head Commander Brodley’s eyes flashed coldly. He quickly estimated the strength difference between the wolf riders squad and his team. He tried to judge the strength of the wolf rider’s squad from the information gained from Basil.
Bear riders were a minority race among the orcs, but their strength is unquestionably strong. Every bear rider had terrifying strength and defense, making them the strongest warrior among the orcs.
An adult bear rider’s strength could even match a head commander’s knights. Therefore, encountering a bear rider came as a great surprise to Head Commander Brodley.
“Wizard K3516, how many head commanders can you fight with your full strength?” Head Commander Brodley knew the strength of his companions very well–except for Abel.
Although he had fought with Abel once before. He still couldn’t know how powerful Abel was. Therefore, he would make his decisions according to Abel’s answer.
Abel was stunned when he heard the question. This was because Abel was not very familiar with the power system of the knights. Instead, he should have used an elite wizard as an example.
Abel had a deep thought. Then he answered, “A head commander knight wouldn’t be much threat to me.”
Head Commander Brodley and Markham were startled by Abel’s answer. Even though they heard rumors about Abel defeating a head commander with a light long sword, it became more astonishing when they heard it from the man who did it himself.
K3305 was shocked. He didn’t think Abel was bragging. He couldn’t help but wonder about the identity of this masked wizard.
K3308 had doubted Abel. The head commander was the strongest knight in the Holy Continent. What Abel said was his strength was at the same level as an intermediate wizard.
Head Commander Brodley believed in Abel. There was no way he could doubt a wizard who could kill a wolf rider captain and a warlock with an arrow.
“My suggestion was to fight and crush the hundred wolf riders squad.” Head Commander Brodley said to his team.
“I disagree. It is way too risky.” Head Commander Markham said while shaking his head. He was worried about the safety of K3308. If they fight against a squad of hundreds that has bear riders. He wouldn’t be able to protect K3308.
“Markham, you want to run away from the orcs?” Head Commander Brodley said with a cold tone.
“I would call it a distraction rather than running. We will face a square with hundreds of wolf riders with bear riders.” Head Commander Markham quickly explained.
“There are kobolds and worgens in their squad. Do you seriously think you could distract them?” Head Commander Brodley continued.
Head Commander Markham didn’t say another word. He understood that no matter how hard they tried to escape. They couldn’t escape from a squad that had kobolds and worgens unless they returned to the Miracle City immediately. However, considering the speed of the wolf riders. There was no way their horse could outrun them.
The only possibility was the wolf raider squad did not come after them, which was impossible for them because they had killed five of their wolf riders.
