Chapter 13: The Green-Skinned Troll
The expected night attack did not come, and everyone was in good spirits in the morning.
"Luckily, we arrived in Quettalin in one go." Hadurun Bright Wing boosts the morale of his men. Don't forget to please Shane and send delicious food and fresh milk.
It's not a hard bread eaten by ordinary men, it's a cake garnished with meat floss, and it's well preserved by the freshness spell.
The team continued on and had two days to reach Quettalin, where they rested for a day before continuing south. Good luck doesn't usually come with you often, and one of the big cars had its axle torn. Hadurun Mingyi immediately asked his men to transfer the goods, and then pushed the cart under the roadbed.
Shane saw that the cargo was weapons and armor, with a faint magical glow on them. Judging by my own experience, they are all 'green'. The word 'smuggling' instantly crossed his mind. If it's a bastard, you can take the opportunity to blackmail. But that's his business. Sitting on a magic golem with tea at hand and books in hand.
Hadurun Mingyi didn't say anything, and the team moved on.
The farther away from Quelsala, the rarer the magical energy in the air becomes, but the air has a different sense of lightness. Compared to the thick and greasy feeling of Silvermoon City, the air here is normal.
For the first time, Sean felt such fresh air and took a few deep breaths. Sure enough, it was different, the magic energy was primitive and clear. Close your eyes and meditate, and the magic power will be replenished smoothly, compared to the radiation of the sunwell, it is as rare as a trickle but it will not be interrupted.
"User, a large number of humanoid creatures have been spotted a thousand meters ahead"
When I opened my eyes, there was a mountain pass ahead, and the road was sandwiched between two hills, and I don't know why Shane remembered Kabonia's career line. The hills on both sides are dense broad-leaved forests.
"Can you tell how many there are?" Only trolls, Shane judged.
"The distribution is out of detection range and cannot be judged."
At this time, it is best to stop the line and defend well. Shane searches for Hadurun Mingyi in the team. It just so happened that he also rode a chocobo and ran to the puppet's feet.
"Your Excellency, after the mountain pass, we will camp again, and the road will be delayed by an accident for a lot of time, and it may be a little late."
"I don't mind if that's all there is to it," Sean looked at him from above, "but you'd better stop now and send someone to the mountain pass ahead to investigate." ”
"What's the matter?"
Of course, it is impossible for Shane to reveal the secret, "Your team only has seventy or eighty people?" ”
"Yes," he nodded.
"Shipping a special item?"
"Yes"
"Then I can't think of any reason for the trolls to let you go."
Hadurun Mingyi sent two attendants to ride to reconnoitre, and the convoy camped in place, slowly forming a circle, and did not leave today. The two waiters, riding to the edge of the woods, stopped and looked inside. One of them took off his bow and shot his arrow. 'Chirp~~~~' a poignant voice came from afar.
Shane had read in the book that it was a ranger's arrow, shooting into the woods to scare the snake.
"If there are trolls, with their discipline, they can't hide," Hadurun Mingyi explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two attendants fell down the chocobos, and then the two mounts that had lost their owners were nailed to the ground with javelins.
"Here it is" Hadurun Mingyi jumped to his feet. Hurriedly sounded the alarm and asked everyone to take up arms and prepare for battle. Shane was at the top of the spot, where the trolls were in full view, and their green skin curled out of the trees like a green carpet. They are armed with a variety of weapons, including wooden sticks and stone knives. Almost no one has full clothing. They roar as they walk or wield seemingly huge weapons as a way to show their bravery.
"Three hundred, four hundred, four hundred and ninety-eight, the confirmed number is four hundred and ninety-eight. Three strange individuals were discovered, containing special energy. "The Eye of Truth reports the numbers." The user is ready for battle, and with the exception of the three anomalous individuals, the rest are unable to effectively defend against the user's spell attacks. ”
At this moment, Hadurun's men stood on the cart, sword and bow in hand, ready for defense.
"Don't mind if I stand somewhere!" Hawkins-Firehawk appears. He spent the whole day in the cart and let the two female attendants comfort her.
"Of course I don't mind"
Hawkins-Firehawk stood in the puppet's hands and was lifted to the height of Shane.
Kilometer distances are very short for trolls. No sooner had the defense been made than they rushed to their front. The first wave of arrows rained down, knocking down a dozen. Arcane brilliance rains down 'Sharp Weapons' and 'Sturdy Armor' in succession. Hawkins-Flame Eagle continued to surge mana, arcane magic took shape in his hands, and most people were blessed.
"He's majoring in change."
Shane also used the fourth-level monster summoning technique, and the giant boar fell from the sky, smashed into the ground, crushing several enemies who had no time to dodge, and then went on a rampage all the way, targeting one of the three hex.
The second wave of arrow rain turned out, and the effect was better than the last time, and more than two dozen were shot down.
Immediately after that, the Flame Explosion Technique exploded on the periphery, clearing a clearing. Hawkins-Flame Eagle's cheeks turned purple, and he turned on the icy blood. Taking advantage of the blessing of the super magic technique, he continued to release the fire explosion technique, and in one go, he didn't let the troll get close.
The form doesn't seem that hard.
"Look!" Shane motioned for attention to the Troll Magnum. His boar broke through several obstacles, and was about to overturn a sorcerer, when the smoke flashed, and the boar turned into a frog, and was split in half by a troll that came on.
The trolls seemed to have learned wisely, and instead of rushing to the front, they began to circle in both directions.
"Lord Shane, it's us who dragged you down. If you don't die after this battle, I will agree to whatever you ask. "Hadurun Mingyi is frustrated. Surrounded by everything, everything is over, but there is a feeling in his heart that Shane, who seems to be more reliable, may have a chance to turn the tables.
The trolls surrounded the convoy and did not rush to attack. There were a few roars from their formation, and the trolls got out of the way. Three sorcerers stepped forward, followed by dozens of men armed with metal weapons.
"They're warriors, notice the throwing axe on their waist, that's the deadly thing." Haduron reminded Shane.
The sorcerer in front of him snorted at the convoy and laughed triumphantly, causing hundreds of trolls to laugh as well.
"What did they say?" Hawkins-Firehawk asked Hadurun.
"I don't understand, I guess if you give up resistance, you won't eat us, hahahaha"
"This joke is terrible, if I don't die after the battle, I will go back to my hometown and marry my two retinues." Hawkins-Firehawk
"So, if I didn't die, I'd go to the Ranger Vanguard." Hadurun - Bright Wing
"So, what about you? Master Shane. ”
'If you two die, it's entirely your own fault,' Shaun scolded. The strength of the three sorcerers was roughly calculated by the Eye of Truth, and their energy level was basically the same as that of Shane, so the odds were very high.
"I don't want to die, I won't die. You two have to take good care of yourselves. ”
Shane commanded the Finishing Eye in his head, "The Eye of Truth assigns ballistics and assists in hits." ”
"Understood, let's do it."
Shane activated his magic with all his might, and the output was modulated to a peak that had never been seen before, illuminated at forty times the speed of light. The fire above his head spread to his shoulders, and the light flew up a meter. The three-series orbs that were originally spinning blinked overhead and covered the background canopy.
Forty times cast, Frostfire Arcane Missile
