Chapter 382: Defeated
In Lajwa's last sentence, the murderous aura of Sen Sen made the second elder shudder involuntarily.
The Holy Mountain and the city of Gitriit beneath the Holy Mountain are home to the Council of Elders, the titular ruling body of the Trolls. Although the troll tribes have fought fiercely over the years, no one has ever had the idea of fighting the city of Gitriet.
According to the sacred code of trolls, the city of Giterit does not collect taxes or wars, and everyone who enters the city must be approved by the Council of Elders, so it has the scale of the first city of trolls.
Now Lazhwa is asking for permission from the Council of Elders to let his soldiers into the city, ostensibly to help the Council of Elders fight profiteers and collect strategic materials, in fact, everyone knows that it is easy to invite God and send God, once the soldiers of the Eagle Wind Tribe enter the city of Gitrit and want to invite them out, it will be difficult.
The second elder glanced at the Great Elder, who cleared his throat, touched his fangs that had experienced vicissitudes, and finally spoke:
"The soldiers entered the city and went on a killing spree, I am afraid that it is not in line with the ancestral system of trolls, and it will be difficult for the Elders to allow it. ”
Rajwa was not angry, and bowed to the Great Elder with one hand.
"That's my recklessness. But I can't think of any better way to raise supplies, so I'd better ask the Council of Elders to figure it out on its own. ”
The Great Elder pondered for a moment, then took out an elemental pistol from his bosom and said to Rajva:
"There are about a thousand such guns in the Elders, and they want to use them to exchange some food for the tribes. I don't know the Eagle Commander, are you interested?"
Originally, when they got the guns, the Presbyterian Church wanted to pick some tribes with no background and form a force loyal to the Presbyterian Church. But now that such a plan seemed unrealizable, the Great Elder simply brought the gun to the surface and sought a deal with Lazhiwa and other large tribal leaders.
He passed the spear from the hand of the Great Elder to the hand of Lazhva. Lazhwa stroked the body of the spear, and did not immediately give a definite answer, but said to the Great Elder:
"I wonder if the Great Elder can give me this gun, I also need to go back and test the performance of this gun, and if there is any surplus food that can be traded. ”
"But Great Elder, don't worry, if the Eagle Wind Tribe can't eat so many guns, they will inevitably seek the cooperation of other tribes. At the end of the day, guns are always good stuff. ”
As soon as these words came out, the other tribes present all looked forward to the light of Lazhva.
The Grand Elder nodded in agreement with Rajva's statement. He also didn't mind leaving the distribution of guns to Lajva. Now that Zantana is gone, it would be most appropriate for the more than 1,000 guns to be divided among Rajva, and the Elders' own division would cause great controversy.
Anyway, as long as Rajwa can come up with enough food in exchange.
Rajva put away his gun, and today's meeting was coming to an end. Unexpectedly, before leaving, Lazhwa said:
"I heard that a few days ago there was a young man with a gun who was going around the city of Geterit to exchange supplies. I don't know if their guns are the same as the Presbyterian guns, and is his gun trade a personal act, or is it an act authorized by the Presbyterian Church?"
Lazhwa's eagle-like gaze swept over the venue, and Luo Songxi couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. But Ražva's gaze quickly swept over Suya and Suji, and even though Suyasuj involuntarily showed some nervousness, Ražva's gaze did not stop.
Luo Songxi can judge that in fact, Lazhiwa does not know his own side that sells guns.
The Great Elder and the Third Elder glanced at each other, and neither of them tacitly looked at the two Su Ya and Su Ji brothers. Then he began to look down and tidy up his things on the table, as if he hadn't heard Lazhva's question.
This attitude is obvious, and the Council of Elders once again showed its bottom line: the affairs in the city of Giterit are not your turn to take care of Lazhwa.
After returning to his station, Luo Songxi was a little more cautious. He had the craftsmen create a batch of silencers for the elemental muskets, which were mounted in the muzzles of the guns to counteract the sound of the compressed fireballs rubbing against the chambers.
In this way, when the soldiers are practicing target shooting, there will not be a lot of movement.
Compared to the relatively mild Presbyterian Church, these large tribes of trolls are aggressive and aggressive. Luo Songxi could see that they all saw this time guarding the Holy Mountain as a new opportunity to expand their sphere of influence.
This also made Luo Songxi even more worried about the upcoming war. He could only hope that the lizardmen's situation was just as bad as the trolls'.
......
......
On the fifth day after the meeting, Luo Songxi's troops had already suffered losses.
A ten-man scout team encounters the lizardmen's scouts while scouting, and two trolls die in the lizardmen's blood magic. Fortunately, Luo Songxi equipped one of the scouts on the front line with two guns, and under the cover of a burst of heavy fire, the other eight were able to escape.
After getting out, they galloped all the way and brought back important information to Luo Songxi.
When the lizardmen advanced to a distance of more than fifty kilometers from the Holy Mountain, they changed their previous slow speed and suddenly accelerated their march at full speed. The scouts estimated that if the lizardmen had maintained this speed, they would have already begun to storm the defenses of the Vast Sea Tribe at this point.
Luo Songxi frowned, but he still quietly rewarded the tribe where the two dead scouts were located, and let Su Ya use the sacrifice of the two scouts to carry out a pre-war mobilization, and the morale of the entire army was improved again.
Luo Songxi is no longer a rookie recruit who was compassionate when he saw the sacrifice, maybe because he commanded the troll army, so his psychological burden should be smaller, and he can already use the sacrifice of the soldier to dig out greater value.
After that, he called Suyasuj together and said to them:
"The military literacy of the lizardmen is much better than I had predicted. At least in the early stages of the war, the trolls who are fighting each other can't be their opponents, and we must be prepared for a hard fight. ”
"How's the progress of your two cultivation?" he asked the brothers.
The brothers' talents are indeed good, under the guidance of Luo Songxi, under the pressure of the war, the spiritual magic has entered the door.
When I entered the door, I had just advanced to the bronze level, and I was far from the golden level that Su Ya was known for. In the cultivation of spiritual power, there is really no way to take a trick, and it takes hard work to accumulate sand into a tower.
But Luo Songxi's psychic magic was originally born in the wilderness, and what he trained the brothers was some routines he developed himself - how to use lowly psychic magic to interfere with the enemy in battle, so as to maximize his martial arts.
At this time, he took out two magic weapons from the space box and handed them to the brothers.
"These are all gold-level one-time life-saving magic weapons, and I will teach you the specific usage later. The reason why I didn't give it to you before was because I was afraid that you would rely on the life-saving magic weapon and refuse to cultivate hard to improve your own strength. ”
The gold-level life-saving artifact was originally something Veronica couldn't look down on and casually threw in the corner of the space box. But in the tribe of trolls, it's a first-class and precious thing.
Presumably, a big man like Zantanarařiva can use all his savings to get one or two pieces from the goblins.
The brothers were holding the magic weapon, their hands were shaking and their hearts were beating, and they didn't know what to say to Luo Songxi.
At this time, another scout sent back an urgent report:
The vast sea tribe, the largest and most powerful force of the troll clan, was caught off guard by the impact of the lizardmen's vanguard team. The defense line laid by the Liaoyuan Sea Tribe was defeated in an instant. The leader of the tribe, the ascetic master Zantana at the pinnacle of the Sanctuary Rank, was killed on the spot.
Subsequently, the more than a dozen large tribes attached to the Liaoyuan Sea Tribe, which claimed to be the first line of defense for the Holy Mountain at that time, only resisted for an hour in the face of the attack of the lizardmen, and then collapsed!
The scout also brought another piece of information: the lizardmen's army had a human elemental mage. There are not many of them, but the damage is huge.
