Chapter 18 The Swamp Trolls

"Sure enough... Wide perceptual magic cannot detect their existence in the slightest... Haruka didn't notice when the other party surrounded them.

"Your Majesty, leave it to the knights to deal with here. Belya blocked Haruka, who was about to make a move, "Although the other party can't use magic, it's not weak in physical combat. ”

"If you want to do it, remember not to kill them all, you have to extract their saliva. Sicily reminded.

"All the knights obey the order and immediately enter the battle mode!!" With Belia's order, the knights instantly drew their swords, and the knights standing in the outermost circle raised their shields in front of them.

As the trolls' encirclement shrinks, the battle is about to begin.

"Wait a minute!!" a very awkward-sounding voice came from the troll's ranks.

"Stop!" the knights, who had raised their swords and intended to charge, were instantly stopped by Belea.

"There's something in the trolls' ranks... Sicily reminded.

"Yes, and the other party seems to be able to use magic. A faint point of light suddenly appeared on Haruka's sensing magic.

I saw that the originally tense team of trolls suddenly gave way to a passage, and a dark red troll slowly appeared in front of them. Compared to other blue trolls, the troll in front of me is not only different in color from other trolls, but also smaller than ordinary trolls, which looks very different.

"I see, it's a mutant... Sicily seemed to understand at once.

"What's a mutant?" asked Haruka, turning his head.

"Generally speaking, trolls have their own tribes, but their IQ is very low, and it is difficult for them to act in an organized manner, and it is hard to imagine that their intelligence can do something that surrounds us silently through the fog like this. Sicily explained.

"Yes, as Sicili said, although the average troll race has low intelligence, every race will occasionally give birth to an existence called a mutant, and most of the mutants will be more powerful than the individual in the original race, whether in intelligence or otherwise. ”

"Does that mean this red troll is smarter than the others?"

"Yes, and it can even use some simple magic, as evidenced by the fact that it can feel the magic on it. ”

"Wouldn't that be a bad thing ... "I thought I would be able to easily defeat the trolls, but suddenly a mutant appeared, which obviously made the battle full of uncertainties in the future.

"Don't rush to conclusions, since the other party can talk, there is room for negotiation. Sicily said.

"Excuse me... Are you His Majesty the Demon King of the North?" the other party walked to the front of the troll team and shouted directly at Haruka.

"Do you know me?" Unexpectedly, the other party came up and revealed his identity, and Haruka was somewhat surprised.

"Of course, our people have been living here for hundreds of years, and we were already secretly observing you the last time you were here. ”

"Last time... Could it be that when I passed through here with Angelia before... Haruka said unconsciously.

"Yes, you and the witch who was able to manipulate the Magic Silk expelled the Lord of the Swamp for our people, and it was only then that our fearful lives were restored to peace... As he spoke, he suddenly fell to one knee in front of Haruka.

"Uh... Lord of the Swamp ... Is that the big centipede? I didn't expect the other party to thank me, and I was a little flattered.

"Speaking of which, the Lord of the Swamp should be considered your natural enemy, did you not expect such a large tribe of trolls to inhabit here in that situation?" Belia couldn't help but ask.

"You're right, as the only mutant in my clan, I have been able to use some magic since birth, and my intelligence is much higher than the others, and thanks to these blessings, I have been able to lead the remnants of my clan to survive in this huge swamp from centipedes. ”

"Haruka and Angelia took the nightmare out of your clan when they passed by, so now are you here to show your gratitude?" said Belia.

"That's right, in order to repay the favor of the Lord of the North, I am willing to lead us swamp trolls to swear allegiance to you... The other party bowed his head respectfully, and the trolls who had looked like they were dancing their teeth and claws also threw down their spears at the same time, and they all fell to their knees in unison.

"Uh... This... Haruka looked at the trolls in front of him at a loss.

"It's not very good, not only did you avoid fighting, but you also got new troops, and most importantly, the troll saliva that can make an antidote, which can be easily obtained. Xixili on the side said with a smile.

"Since you're a mutant, you must have your own name, right?" Belia stepped off her mount and slowly walked over to the other party.

"Yes, the villain's name is Morse, and I am willing to sacrifice my endless loyalty to the Demon King of the North......"

"Morse... Haruka whispered in the air......
