Chapter 78: The Courage to Break Free from the Shackles (I)
Seeing the defeated grey dwarf soldiers retreat in the direction they had come from, Urs confirmed that the battle was over for the time being, and then took the initiative to lift the rage that had remained on him at this time.
Although the Grandmaster-level Berserk Specialty is still one point away from the final ultimate level, the Berserk effect of this level can be said to be very good in the eyes of young people, whether it is the length of time the state lasts, the strength of the increase in one's own attributes, and the various immunity that is connected in the list of specialty descriptions.
Just of course - the Barbarian's berserk state is not suitable for non-combat situations, after all, this typical combat feat, which is almost exclusively designed for bloody fighting, will not only give the young man a massive increase in the strength and body stats and multiple debuff status immune resistances that can be used against the caster's enemies, but also make him more murderous and violent than usual.
He was sure that there was basically no danger of the grandmaster-level rage getting out of control, and it was not a good thing to look at his friends with a pair of murderous eyes, right?
What's more, although this state has the effect of strengthening the physical attributes of the activator, the dual consumption of physical strength and spirit is actually a set of loads.
At this point, Urs took the initiative to break away from his violent state, his red eyes returned from a bloodshot appearance to their normal brown color, looked back at his teammates who had regrouped around him, and then walked a few steps towards Rouldorf's corpse and bent down.
The grey dwarves seemed to be afraid of his strength, and so, presumably, in order to ensure the efficiency of the retreat, they did not even carry the dead commander of their army away, so that the latter's body lay on its back in the young man's sight.
He still had the scars on his neck that had been pierced by the sword, and had been torn into a large bloody hole in the skin of his neck by the brutality of the young man who had used his entire body as a war hammer.
Of course, Urs's focus was not on how ugly the gray dwarf officer had died for his own reasons, but on the main and secondary weapons that had fallen with his corpse.
A large metal shield with a slash mark on the surface, and a mace with spikes on the head of the hammer.
Urs crouched down on his knees, reached out and picked up the two pieces of equipment in turn, and learned the following information through the item data that came to mind one after another-
【Zhuoer delicate mace】
Item Type: Mace +2 (Magic Item)
Weapon Damage: 1d8+2 (Slash/Pierc)
Completely damaged after continuous exposure to sunlight
Requirements: 10 Strength
- Maces are very simple and practical blunt weapons that can deal considerable damage with a simple smash. In addition to this, the special craftsmanship of the Drow Elf gives it even more excellent equipment quality, and at the same time, it also makes it unsightly.
【Zhuoer Exquisite Shield】
Item Type: Large Shield +2 (Magic Item)
Block bonus +3 and an additional +1 block bonus against ranged attacks
Completely damaged after continuous exposure to sunlight
Requirements: 13 strength
- The large shield is between the middle shield and the tower shield in weight and area, and the wide shield surface can improve the wielder's tolerance for defense in battle, as well as some long-range protection against arrows. In addition to this, the special craftsmanship of the Drow Elf gives it even more excellent equipment quality, and at the same time, it also makes it unsightly.
"No wonder the sword I swung at him failed to break the shield directly."
Urs checked the attributes of the big shield, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Ruldorf was able to hold up the shield and barely block his fierce blow in the previous battle, after all, his strength attribute had crossed the threshold of 30 values when he was in a berserk state, and he had an absolute advantage in crushing the concept when dealing with humanoids of normal size.
From this point of view, the main problem in attack and defense that time was indeed that the +1 cross greatsword in his hand was not enough to fight.
At the same time, he suddenly missed the cursed blade he used in Twilight in the past - but he also knew that the "door plate greatsword" with +3 enchantment had already been torn open by Dambert and collapsed with a dissociation scroll, so he didn't think too much about it, and then reassigned the mace, which was limited to +2 enchantment under the condition of "not seeing the light", to Xia and Xia , thinking that his group should not return to the surface for a short time anyway.
As for the shield, he chose to leave it alone, after all, Deputy Koto's fortress shield was in every way better than the pseudo-+2 enchanted shield, and the regular +2 Mithril full-body armor he wore was better than the set of full-body armor on Ruldorf's corpse.
Urs then focused his thinking on the names of the two pieces of equipment.
The common prefix of the two names is Drow Exquisite.
This represents the craftsmanship of the Dark Elves, and may prove that the Grey Dwarf army led by Barend and the Palomite City is indeed inseparable from the Dark Elves hiding behind the scenes, especially the Zergun family, which has become known to everyone in this series of events.
Deep in the dark regions of Castaño, the famous dark elven city of Morberas, the Zelgon family.
At this time, on both sides of the street at the main entrance of the city hall, the dwarf houses built along the street were suddenly pushed open from the inside and the windows were gradually pushed out, and the figures of underground dwarf slaves slowly walked out of the house.
Although the grey dwarf soldiers under the command of Rohldorf had imposed martial law on the streets during the previous battle, ordering the underground gnomes who had been enslaved in the city to hide in their houses and not to come out, a small number of them were still driven by curiosity and dared to open their windows to peek into the streets.
The Thorn Squad's victory was clearly a big surprise to them.
The underground gnomes living in the city gradually came out of the house, and looked at the group standing between the corpses of the gray dwarves in a blank eye, and Moredi, who was staying with everyone at this moment, and pressed several pairs of eyes with joy in shock as if to ask, "...... you guys How, exactly?! ”
Moredi wanted to ask the same question. He looked at his people, and turned to look at Urs, Thea, Raven, Stonefist, Koto, Bellinglith, Dorothy, and Abel...... Let's also count Soros, the black cat pet hidden in the head of the organic.
A nine-member adventurous team...... Actually repelled an army of gray dwarves of 100 people?!
Such a feat—should we say that they were indeed worthy of the heroes of the high priest's prophecy?
After a while, he thought yes......
That's right......
They are undoubtedly the heroes who came to save the city.
The city of Palomite will be liberated at their hands!
This city, which belonged to everyone, not the gray dwarf bastards, has finally been saved!
Moretti clenched his fists, and the excitement in his heart soon manifested itself involuntarily on his disfigured face, and his dark eyes looked excitedly at his fellow people who had come out of the houses on both sides of the street, and suddenly saw a familiar figure also spotted him, and then ran quickly towards him and shouted: "Moredi, are you alright?" ”
"Dorier?" When he saw her, his black eyes were slightly surprised, "You...... Why are you here? ”
