"Marquis Walter, the lord of Zhongping Ridge, he has calculated almost everyone, whether it is allies or trolls. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Then, Jabu suddenly looked up at Sauron, "This has caused the trolls to either hold back on the outskirts of the Thorn Forest, or on their way to take revenge on several human towns. Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Marquis of Vought wants to loot and devour all the resources of this trolls tribe that he covets. This man's appetite is not ordinary. ”

Jab's eyes were wide open, and he was not afraid because he was mentally prepared, but instead focused his gaze on Sauron's, "However, this Marquis of Walter never dreamed that the gods favored an inconspicuous little lord, and right now, we are standing beneath the trees that pluck the fruits of victory. ”

"If nothing else, the Zhongpingling army will occupy this trolls tribe in the next half day. I have to admit that although the Marquis of Walter is despicable, his war strategy of avoiding reality and avoiding fiction is very appropriate and successful. ”

Zoro's tone revealed a surprise that could not be hidden, and he felt that the cunning and insidiousness of the Marquis of Walter were worthy of vigilance.

Jab's excitement was not only due to what the dwarf Thorin had said before, but he himself knew, "Among the savage trolls, there are two of the most valuable resources, one is the Bloodbow Wood, which grows vigorously and is abundant, and is the most suitable wood for forging a longbow. Bloodbow wood only grows in the trolls tribe, which in itself is a pity. It is precisely because of this regret that in human society, the value of a blood bow has been hyped up to dozens of gold coins. Due to the constraints of time and manpower, the goal of our trip is not to do it. It's another more valuable resource in the trolls tribe, totem liquid. ”

Totems are not only scarce in number, but their value and meaning are even more invaluable in gold coins. Its main purpose is full of mystery.

"Bear goblins, take a break and regain your strength before you get ready to fight. Next, we will fight side by side with the warriors of the Dragon Court Glade to wash away our hatred of trolls with the blood of trolls. ”

Dole boosts the morale of the bear goblins through constant motivation. In Sauron's eyes, he was a sturdy and capable bear goblin with clubs, bows and arrows, and the ability to lead a team, as agile and strong as a sea otter, with dark and round skin. In Yab's words, "This bear-faced guy has the courage and willpower of a leader. ”

"Dolben is the patriarch heir of Eighty-Eight Gang." Thorin said.

At this time, Zoro and Jabu glanced at each other, and they knew in their hearts that the fighting strength of their own team was not as solid as Dor's courage.

Because whether it is an ogre or Zhongpingling, there will be no shortage of elite professionals.

"Yabu, remember my advice and never do what you can't do."

To this day, Yabu has not forgotten his mentor's parting words. But he decided to take the plunge today, "In all the stories of adventure and glory, there is never anything that is sure or anything that is far from it." ”

The weather was colder than expected, and the howling wind blew in every direction with a shrill sound, and about ten minutes later.

The dark arms of the bear goblins invariably protruded from the green tendons.

Dole's rhetoric to them was that even if they sacrificed their lives, they had to complete the mission. All the necessary bloodshed and sacrifice is for revenge on the ogre. The same goes for the dwarves.

With the same goal, everyone's eyes are filled with determination and courage. Next, in Zoro's sight, there was a dense crowd.

All the buildings of the Trolls Tribes seem to have some irregular curved shapes, and everyone agrees with them from the bottom of their hearts, and if the masters of the art of the Human Architectural Guild are called here, it is enough to make some professional human architects and structural engineers scratch their heads.

This trolls tribe called 'Skull' can be called a large tribe. Most of the buildings above three stories were used for unknown purposes, perhaps as lords' residences or as sacrificial services.

But there is one thing worth observing, and that is judging by the signs that cover the stones. So in this huge tribe, there is only one need to look in one direction.

Thorin has already told that the Forest of Thorns and the Forest of Blackwood, the Forest of Fire Maple are vast forests that are connected together. In total, there are 6 trolls scattered in these forests. At the moment, this trolls tribe is only the worst.

And the chief of the 'Skull' trolle tribe has a position among the 6 trolle tribes, ranking behind the other 5 tribes.

……………………

In the dwarves' eyesight, buildings marked with a large number of skulls stand out like bedbugs on bald heads.

A backwater lake that separates the skull trolls from two areas.

In addition to the large number of irregular curved nests just seen, the target building is on the other side of the lake. The building is surrounded by a number of zigzag areas, separated by heavy stone walls.

"Woo woo

The front entrance of the Trolls Tribe, in the direction of the Iron Plate Bridge. From there, it was not difficult to hear from the trumpets that the army of Zhongpingling had used all its strength.

"Zhongpingling has an army of 5,000 people, and it is not very difficult to attack the iron plate bridge, which is only guarded by a small number of trolls elite. We're going to hurry. Thorin reminded. He knew that the tighter the trumpet sounded at Zhongping Ridge, the more time was left for his side.

And after this trumpet, those waves that were sometimes vague and sometimes clear gradually became more and more deafening, and the noise echoed noisily. By the end, a low gloom hung over the entire trolls tribe.

"It sounds like the Zhongpingling army has launched a general attack."

In the heart of the dwarf Thorin, it was as if there was a wall clock, ticking and ticking to play a light and rhythmic tune, parallel to his thoughts.

At this time, the dwarves and bear goblins beside him were very light, and they walked cautiously, but their speed was extremely fast.

Suddenly.

There was a strange movement in front of them, and as Dole made a gesture, everyone's movements invariably stopped.

Then, from an area behind the corner behind a wall opposite, there was a jumble of footsteps.

Encounter at close range in a passage that is not narrow.

The troll, who almost crashed into the arms of the bear goblin, jumped backwards like an electric shock.

"Goblins!? Meat!? Iron plate bridge? The trolls grunted out the words as if someone had squeezed them out of its mouth.

Nearly 100 trolls, when they encountered Sauron and his party, terrifying thoughts popped up in their heads. Bear goblins, dwarves, underage humans...... The meat in their eyes actually entered the trolls' lair like this?

At this moment, in the Skull Trolls tribe, except for these inferior blue-skinned trolls who are still supporting the direction of the Iron Plate Bridge, there is no real tribal elite still left.

Encountered humans in the center of the tribe. This unexpected scene made these inferior trolls seem a little panicked.

On the other hand, Dole's smile was cold, "The Iron Plate Bridge has been captured, lowly trolls, today is your end!" ”

Dole's intimidation fell on the ears of his companions around him, as if giving an order to fight.

"Uhh

The bear goblin held the mace high and slammed it alternately.

In a short time, this group of inferior trolls suddenly turned into severed limbs in one place.

The sounds of battle can be dangerous.

You must know that the population base of a large trolls is huge, and just the old and weak women and children in the trolls tribe are enough to drown a team of forty people.

With this concern in his heart, Zoro immediately shouted, "We need to hurry up, full speed!" ”

The rainy weather more or less provided cover for the team.

Whenever they encounter a lone troll, the first person in the front of the team is often the ring spirit, he takes the lead, so as not to waste time, a series of skillful and delicate sword swinging movements, like a spirit snake spitting flames, only to see a flash of silver light, it is very neat to cut the throat of the other party from the front.

When you reach the front of the target building.

Every bear goblin, the dwarf, was panting, and the wind was blowing harder than before, causing the cloaks of a few people to be tied to their shoulders to be puffed up by the air behind them.

"Tear them apartβ€”" From the boulder building decorated with bones, a large number of trolls poured out like a gust of wind swept into the water. But it's just some low-class trolls, in front of the bear goblins and dwarven elites, they can only turn into steaming corpses on the ground.

Sauron grabbed a trolls' scalp, pulled its head back, and slashed it in the throat. From time to time, there are trolls behind Sauron's back, and at this time, the Ring Spirit will immediately wield the sword of the magic kiln to pierce the trolls' ribs and then stab it into the lungs, and then quickly pull out the sword and kick it away.

"Behold, he slain four trolls, and was unscathed!" A bear goblin stared at Zoro in exclamation.

Ten minutes of battle brought the lives of 5 dwarves and 9 bear goblins to an eternal halt on the steps in front of the building. Doll forced himself to examine the price the bear goblin had paid for keeping his promise to the dwarves. A bitterness swept over him, and then he noticed his hesitation, immediately drove them out of his mind, and rushed up the steps without looking back.

Whether it was a bear goblin or a dwarf, they did not die in vain, and with a sword of the magic kiln of the Ringwraite Angmar Witch King, the group successfully broke through to the three-story megalithic building.

In front of Sauron, it was not so much a monster's lair. It is more appropriate to say that it is the center of a lord's daily life.

The chief of the trolls tribe, what kind of 'man' he or she is, Zoro doesn't know. However, legend has it that a high-ranking ogre can permanently transform into a human through some kind of sacrifice, which can finally be verified by Sauron's own eyes.

"A high-level troller can be on par with humans in appearance, and this is not a simple transfiguration."

Seeing an ogre for the first time, Yabu struggled to control his blood and heartbeat.

In this hall, any chair is made into a strange curve that fits the anatomy of the human body, the back of the chair spreads out like a butterfly, like a human rib, and the legs of the chair are like bones.

A tray on the table covered with a napkin made Zoro smell the rich aroma of broth. He also saw white fur and red embroidery, and when Sauron looked up, he saw that the ceiling and walls of the house were painted with animals, and although the faces were precedented, the carvings were more elaborate than those seen before, and the patterns of flowers and plants abounded.

Zoro and Jab confronted each other for a moment, their eyes locked firmly on each other, and they both read the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Here!" Time was pressed and there was no time to take a closer look. When they heard the goblin Dore's reminder, Zoro and Jabu quickly put away their curiosity.

They followed Dole, the goblin bear, only to see a small door appear behind a curtain.

The kowtow on it turned out to be two human skulls, and Sauron felt a strange feeling when he looked at the polished thing on his back when he opened the door with his own hands.

Behind the door is a simple stone chamber that glows with a silvery glow.

"Damn humans, how did you get in?" At the first moment, an old skinny high-level ogre suddenly jumped out, the reason why she is an ogre is because she looks like a human old woman, and her exaggerated costume is woven from peacock feathers. It's a pity that before she could perform well, she was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood by a group of bear goblins who swarmed in with the hammer in her hand.

The blood gushing from those eyes finally obscured her vision. Zoro could feel her anger drenched in pain, and her determination was slowly fading like blood.

"Look!"

Hearing the reminder, in the upper right corner of the corpse, Sauron saw a natural basin-shaped stone vessel, in which clear spring water gushed and bubbled out a large number of bubbles.

Some of these bubbles resemble strings of pearls, and some resemble fleeting pearl flowers. The crystal ball is tumbling and changing, which is very strange.

"Totem liquid, this is totem liquid!"

Dole exclaimed in surprise. At this point, Zoro's eyes flickered.

Filled with a basin-sized liquid, it carries the succession and rise and fall of an ogre tribe. [Trolls ensure the reproduction of the tribe's population by diluting these totemic fluids with water.] 】

For human beings, the value of a drop of totem liquid is close to 1,000 gold coins. This pot of totem liquid, if all converted into wealth, will be an astronomical amount. It was a fortune that even the king could not ignore.

Zoro knew that a large part of the totem fluid was due to luck, and his original intention was only to seek justice for the dead and undo the damage caused by the trolls' ambush.
