Tadelal eventually handed over the task of eliminating the Fishmen and clearing the Jasper Mines to Raphael, and he himself began to organize a group of Southsea civilians to board a transport ship and leave the Hillsbrad Hills. This is not a good errand, because leaving here means that these commoners will lose the land and property they rely on for survival, and it is impossible for the kingdom of Ashwood to provide these commoners with their own land, and even if there is such land, it will have been divided among the various nobles in the kingdom long ago.

It was not the most difficult thing to convince the commoners to leave Southsea Town, but even more difficult was to prevent the human nobles from taking advantage of the opportunity to make war gains and encroach on the farmsteads and fields of the Hillsbrad Hills. With the help of the panic and chaos caused by the war, these human aristocrats have countless means to take advantage of the wealth that the commoners have accumulated over their lifetimes and swallow it in one gulp. In a sense, it is precisely because of the existence of these nobles that there will be those scum who do not hesitate to betray the race and lead the wolf into the house.

Tardlar was reluctant to let Raphael get involved in these things, he knew very well that what the girl needed was enough merit and pure identity, the former had been successfully achieved by now, and the latter, he and Tibester, needed to be the two protectors. umbrella to protect her from the wind and rain.

"You've worked so hard for that little girl. I think you might as well be a nobleman, a priest! A human archmage sneered at Tadrar as he dripped werewolf blood into the container in his hand.

The archpriest replied with tears and laughter: "You have the strength to make fun of me, why don't you hurry up and give me the antidote to research!" Otherwise, I'll go around and tell people that your so-called great alchemist is not worthy of his name! ”

Matthew Slene, the Grand Mage of Dalaran and a Grand Alchemist, has master-level alchemy, and is best known for analyzing poisons and breaking curses. The reason why Antonidas sent him to support the expeditionary force was not only because Matthew was the best person to study the antidote, but also because the archmage had a friendship with Tadelar when he was young, unlike other archmages, who had a tense relationship with the Holy See of Light. Antonidas, who was busy guarding against Maltan while trying to find the Book of your, really didn't want to spoil the relationship with the Holy See of Light at this time.

Seeing that the potion bottle in his hand turned into a pile of ashes in a burst of dark purple flames, Matthew pushed the magic lens on the bridge of his nose: "Well, this thing is even more interesting than I thought, it seems to have a trace of bloodline power, I can't believe that those shadow creatures can also have bloodlines?" ”

"Getting to the point!"

"The point is, what you think of as a toxin isn't actually something that actually exists. Turning civilians and soldiers into werewolves is neither a poison nor a curse. ”

"And what the hell is this?" Tadelar believed Matthew's words, because in this regard, few people could be more authoritative than the archmage in front of him.

Matthew waved his hand and swept aside the reagent bottle on the lab table, "Do you know about vampires?" ”

"Bats that live in the shadows under the shelter of the undead?"

"That's right! You won't be unaware that vampires can suck the blood of their prey and turn them into their own slaves, or even their own kind. For a long time, Dalaran thought that the way vampires turned their prey into their own kind was by injecting poisons or applying curses to their targets, but after countless researches, we finally determined that those vampires were using simpler, more fundamental methods. ”

"Don't sell it!"

"To put it simply, a vampire injects a portion of his own blood into his prey, and these bloodlines spread neither poison nor curse, but a blood-making material that essentially replaces the prey's original blood with new blood. For example, I'm called Matthew Slime because I have the blood of the Banner family in my veins, and if I have the blood of the Banner family in my vein, then I should be called Matthew Banner! ”

It didn't take the Great Alchemist to continue, Tadelar understood what he meant: "In other words, those civilians and soldiers who have been transformed into werewolves are completely because the blood in their bodies has been replaced by the blood of werewolves?" ”

"Not just the blood, but their minds, self-perceptions, and maybe even the soul, I don't have much research on the soul aspect, so that's just my inference. The only way to remove this effect is to eliminate the source of this bloodline. "Although Matthew claims to have not studied much in the soul aspect, as an archmage, even if he only dabbles in some soul knowledge, it is enough for him to come up with a solution." If I'm not mistaken, this bloodline probably originated from Fenruth the Devourer! ”

Realizing that there was a high chance that a powerful Shadow Wolf would be involved, Tadelar felt that the future was dark. Even if they gathered to kick the Ster, the strength of him and Matthew would not be able to defeat Fenruth, a shadow creature that had survived from ancient times, let alone kill him.

"Of course, if it's just to stop this force, it's not impossible." Knowing that the solution he had just made was too embarrassing, Matthew immediately let Tadelal continue to ignite hope, "Although there is no way to completely eliminate the possibility of transforming into a werewolf, as long as the bitten person is determined, and after proper treatment, coupled with the potion I concocted, there is no need to worry about being transformed into a werewolf in a short time." ”

This was probably the best news Tadelar had heard in the past few days, and he agreed to this method without hesitation, and hoped that Matthew would prepare enough potions as soon as possible, not only for Nanhai Town, but also for Tibest, and the poor commander of the expeditionary force had been tormented by this problem and could not eat or sleep well.

"Anyway, aren't you really worried about that little girl? The fish-man and the naga don't care for now, and the kobolds and gnolls in the jasper cave aren't a problem, but don't tell me you don't know there's a bunch of ogres in that mine, and those things aren't for a bunch of kids! ”

Ogres are an alien species, and orcs come from the same world, but compared to orcs, ogres are stronger and more savage, these guys who are more than three meters tall are generally not very intelligent, and they are mainly small groups ranging from a dozen to dozens of them, scattered all over the world in Ntagre. The savage habits of ogres have kept them in the habit of eating them raw, and their recipes include not only various beasts, but also kobolds, gnolls, boar people and other humanoid races.

Some groups of ogres with special bloodlines may have the birth of a strange existence such as a two-headed ogre, and the two-headed ogre with two heads can gain a higher level of intelligence, giving them the opportunity to master the advanced ability of magic.

Although the ogres occupying the Jasper Mine Cave are only a small family with no more than ten in number, they are still a strong enemy for Raphael, after all, in a place like the Jasper Mine Cave, there is no way to give full play to the advantage of numbers.

"Don't worry, this time with the transport ship is not only you, but also a shield guard of the Holy City, Cardinal Meradel values this future Lightbringer more than I do."

"There's no need for a little girl to send out the Aegis guards, right? I'm afraid that the real purpose of your Light Holy See is still for Fenrus the Devourer, isn't it? Hehe, a shield guard! The legacy of the Griffin Dynasty is used by you as a nanny, and a fool will believe that it is for the little girl whose hair has not yet grown, is it really because I have become a fool in alchemy! Matthew scoffed at Tadelal's answer.

Tadelal didn't care if this guy saw through their plan, anyway, the great alchemist had to mix potions day and night.

The good news of the antidote didn't make the expeditionary force happy for long, and just when Raphael led a group of players, mainly the Radiance Watch team, to achieve the achievement of killing the fishmen and kobolds, the impatient orcs and trolls finally made a move.

The Bloodcave Clan of Dunhold Castle sent an army of 15,000 men to capture the Naisan Outpost on the east side of Southsea Town, sealing off the road from Southsea Town to Hinterland Eagle's Nest Mountain. The Dark Pine Trolls on the Shattered Ridge were almost outcast, and the troll army of 25,000 people was divided into two parts, of which 15,000 were led by werewolves through the Silver Pine Forest, entered the Tirisfal Glade, and began to attack the camp that Tibest had established there. The remaining 10,000 trolls advanced directly outside the town of Southsea, where they joined up with the werewolves who had increased to 5,000 and began to surround the town, intending to destroy the most important stronghold of humanity in the hills of Hillsbrad.

Confident players have just gotten their first drop of blood from a werewolf, only to be counter-killed by the sudden appearance of orcs and trolls, which not only loses a lot of equipment, but also causes a very low morale. If it weren't for the fact that more players continue to come to Nanhai Town, it is estimated that these unlucky eggs have already begun to retreat.

The ogres entrenched in the jasper mine cave did not pose much threat to Raphael, and the holy shield guards from the Holy City had no chance to show at all, these ogres were divided by the tacit cooperation of Glass and other players, relying on the passages in the mine that extended in all directions, and then fell under the player's sword one by one, Raphael even found an opportunity to brush a wave of presence, and she directly killed a bloody ogre with holy light, and successfully grabbed a head.

But the crisis situation in Nanhai Town no longer allowed Raphael to renovate the jasper mine and turn it into a forge shop. With the help of orcs and trolls, the wolf king Nandus finally decided to launch a general assault on the town of Nanhai.

The first offensive and defensive battle of Nanhai Town began.

On the walls of Nanhai Town, the main force of defense has been replaced by players, compared to those human soldiers, players are better at this kind of cooperation in a small area, reasonable class matching and diverse skills are obviously more lethal than the rain of arrows and spears.

"Attention! Another wave is coming! "As the most famous team among human players, Radiance Watch certainly won't be absent from this kind of big scene. Because they have been following Raphael closely from the beginning, Glass and the others have changed their guns, not only paid off all the loans, but also used the military exploits they had obtained to replace the equipment on their bodies, and even the number of team members has increased significantly.

One of the most conspicuous is Glass Radiant Wings, the leader of the team, this shield warrior can no longer see what he used to look like, and the mixed equipment on his body has also become a uniform heavy plate armor, and with the protective barrier of Cresh, it is simply a humanoid bunker, a city wall that can be walked. Coupled with the shield warrior skills that Glaste learned with ease, it was clear that there were only more than forty levels of the second order, but he could confront a fifth-order orc berserker head-on, which made the eyes of other players look straight and extremely envious.

The Paladin Eternal Lake is not much worse than Glass, he takes the orthodox knightly route, and the equipment on his body is mainly plate armor, supplemented by some chain mail to reduce weight and ensure mobility. Seeing that two more orcs climbed the ladder to the city wall, they immediately greeted Glass together.

These ladders were improvised by the orcs of the Blood Cave Clan, neither trolls nor werewolves were good at making this kind of siege equipment, and although the Blood Cave Clan did not have much technology in this area, they were able to make at least some of the simplest devices, such as ladders, such as large wooden escapes, such as the city breaker used to hit the city walls.

Rushing to the city wall were two orc warriors, facing the two tin cans of Glass and Eternal Lake, Rao was known for his brute strength, and the orc warriors who were known for their brute strength also had to bow down, the weapons in their hands were not a sharp and incomparable artifact, and they could only leave a mark on the heavy plate armor, while their opponents didn't need to think about anything at all, just keep the shield on their heads.

Soon, the two orc warriors were reduced to two corpses under the attack of the Radiance Watch team. But the rest of the city wall didn't have as many players as strong as Glass.

However, in the face of the orcs who kept rushing up the city walls, the eyes of those players who were retreating little by little did not have the slightest fear, but were full of eager light, as if these orc warriors were not enemies enough to bring them death, but moving treasure chests.

Just as the orc warriors were about to occupy a small area and open a fixed climbing point, the players who had been gathered together instantly separated, revealing the two players hiding behind them. The two players were almost naked, and the only thing they had was four or five round props hanging from their bodies.

"Allahu Akbar!" Chanting the chants of jihad, the two players activated their goblin specialty, the Alchemy Bomb, before crashing headlong into the bewildered-looking group of orcs.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! After seven or eight loud bangs, where did the orc warriors who were blown up still have the ability to resist, and the players, who had long gagged their ears with various things, cheered and rushed up, easily chopping these poor orcs into pieces of meat.

"Goblin stuff, the quality is just poor! This detonation rate is not even 80%! ”

"Be content, you! It's powerful enough, you want good quality, unless you buy those gnomes! ”

"Just kidding, the price difference is several times worse!"

"That's it! Heck, who's going to be next? Hurry up, this looks like it's about to rush up! ”

So, on the first day of the attack and defense of Nanhai Town, the wolf king Nandus was defeated and retreated under the slogan "Allahu Akbar", throwing down more than a thousand orcs, hundreds of werewolves, and the same number of troll corpses, waiting for the new ladder to be made, and then attacking again.
