Chapter 2: Angry, Violent Creatures
The rain of fire is not very powerful.
If this magic attack is an ordinary person, he only needs to hold his breath and run out of the fire rain range before the oxygen in his lungs is exhausted, and there is a chance of survival.
After all, these flames are not very hot and do not have any adhesion.
Ordinary people just become bald at most after a few seconds.
But the Gnolls are different.
Their thick, greasy fur is excellent insulation......... It's also an excellent fuel. Even if the gnolls that were contaminated with fire escaped the range of the rain of fire, most of the individuals who were not strong enough would be burned alive.
Only the gnoll warriors who wielded the power of rage, as well as the shamans and priests with magical spells, survived the rain of fire.
Then, they encounter real monstersββββ the Dragonborn knights on the opposite side.
Beneath their human exterior lies inhuman powers.
The power of rage allows the Gnoll Warriors to crush hard rocks with their claws, and even the Great White will not be able to defeat them in their frenzied state if they are one-on-one. However, the powerful claw attack could not grasp the dragon scale armor on the surface of the dragonborn knight's body.
It can only be slaughtered by them unhurriedly.
The Storm Shaman of the Imperial Envoy Thunder and the Abyss Sacrifice with demonic powers can hurt these knights. But a few spellcasters were powerless in the face of more than a dozen dragon vein warlocks.
Ultimately.
Under the witness of Wang Kai, a large tribe of more than 3,000 people was solved by an army of less than 100 human beings.
The whole process did not take more than five minutes.
This made Wang Kai truly understand how dangerous this world really is.
According to Jay, this army is just an ordinary hundred-man brigade in a small border city in the vast Platinum Empire. Even without his mentor, an archmage of a transcendent rank, he went to war. Three such brigades were enough to wipe out these three thousand gnolls.
But the combat effectiveness of these hundred-man teams is simply not comparable to the soldiers of the same number of Sequence Legions.
And a standard sequence legion is about 10,000 people.
Legions like this, there are eleven in the Empire!
On top of this, there is also the Royal Guard Legion, which is composed entirely of transcendental rank powerhouses, and the strength of each of them is not inferior to that archmage who cast the rain of flames.
One archmage is so powerful, and thousands of equally powerful people gather together...... Thinking about it made Wang Kai feel terrifying.
At the top of the pyramid of the empire's power is the real ruling class of the empire.
- Metal Dragons!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The destruction of the tribe was not a bad thing for Wang Kai, and the death of the sacrifice allowed him and Dabai to obtain the freedom they had always dreamed of.
For the past six months, the two of them have been wandering around the borders of the Platinum Empire, and they dare not do anything other than steal one or two cattle and sheep from the farm.
During the day, they didn't even dare to approach a kilometer around the Imperial Highway.
For fear of being accidentally discovered and being hunted down.
As for Jay, the poor mage apprentice, he was let go by Wang Kai on the way to escapeββββ he was also a poor man, the originally handsome and handsome little straight man met a perverted mentor, and he was bent by Leng Shengsheng.
And as soon as the apprentice who won the favor of the mentor disappeared, it naturally provoked the archmage to be angry, and sent troops to wipe out this tribe of gnolls who did not know whether to live or die.
This allowed Wang Kai to be free.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Meanwhile!
More than 100 meters behind a wolf and a jackal, on the mound, another dispute is taking place.
"That's what you call a raging wolf? Are you blind, or blind, or blind! Yes! β
A tall, fierce-looking teenager said angrily.
He pinched the neck of a man dressed as a hunter with one hand, and pointed at Dabai in the distance with the other, and the expression on his face was undisguised, and the fierce killing intent brought by the anger in his heart was revealed.
"Shut up Ethan! Do you want to scare that wolf away? Be quiet! Kyle's soundproofing barrier is limited in the amount of volume it can isolate. β
Ethan's voice was uttered by a tall female knight, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long red hair that stood out even in the dark, and purple eyes that were like jewels.
She was sitting on a tree stump beside her. Under the silver battle skirt, the pair of long round legs wrapped in thin leather pants were undoubtedly revealed due to the posture.
Although stopped Ethan.
But her pretty face was also covered with frost, and her eyes stared at the guide dressed as a hunter on the opposite side.
"But sister, this untouchable dares to lie to us. It was obviously a mutated wind wolf, but he told us that it was a raging wolf, and it was clearly a lie about the military situation, and he should be hanged according to the law! β
"Shut up! Do you want that wolf to discover us? Either way, we can't alarm them right now, and we're not sure of the gnoll's strength yet. β
The tall and beautiful female knight reprimanded the boy named Ethan in a low voice. "And! Now you're going to call me Captain, understand! β
"Okay, sister...... Captain Garcia! β
"Can you remember it later?"
ββ¦β¦ Well. Ethan responded, but he was a little depressed after being reprimanded by his sister.
"Okay, tie up this guide, gag his mouth, and we'll go back and deal with him."
The female knight Garcia didn't pay attention to her reckless brother anymore, frowning at the man and wolf in the distance, feeling a little worried.
As a member of the Sharpsburg Guard Knights, he was ordered to take several reservists in the regiment to eliminate this berserk wolf, but he didn't expect this to be a false information.
In Tygulas, there are several kinds of supernatural powers that warriors can practice.
Anger is arguably the simplest and most pervasive.
Among the tall races, such as the giants, ogres, and polar people (barbarians), almost all of their warriors are angry.
It's a powerful force that comes from a creature's rage, allowing berserkers who use it to go berserk. Multiple, if not tenfold, increases Berserker's explosiveness, body strength, energy resistance, and intuition. It also makes Berserker immune to psychic abilities while berserker.
Tolerance for pain has also increased greatly.
The practice of anger does not depend on race, and any flesh and blood creature with a certain level of intelligence can potentially master anger.
Therefore!
Occasionally, wild beasts in nature that can use their anger can also be found. The intelligent race of Tygulas call them ferocious animals.
But it also creates some problems. Ferocious animals, despite their anger, are incapable of restraining their actions, and some are unable to lift their rage.
As a result, ferocious animals will continue to attack all life around them until they die.
If a ferocious animal appears near a gathering place of intelligent creatures, it needs to be removed as soon as possible to avoid too many casualties.
Garcia could understand the guide's thoughts.
It is the duty of the Knights to exterminate the ferocious creatures, and they do not take any money.
And magical creatures ...... There are so many things that the Knights have to deal with every day. Patrolling the territory, clearing out gnolls and robbers, and so on, every day, just a demon wolf, just pay a few adventurers.
