Chapter 325: The Collision of Land and Sea (6) (2 in 1)

Some people say that the boar people are very brave, and they can charge to the death in the face of strong enemies, and they will rest until they die;

It is also said that the boar people are cowardly, that they are always unable to hold out until the end of a fierce battle, and that even the most powerful of them, their leader, often joins at the end of the battle or runs away first.

However, neither of these claims is necessarily credible, as I suspect that the providers of both claims have their own prejudices against the boar people.

The former was something I learned while chatting in a tavern with a dwarf adventurer who was roaming Kalimdor. About half a month ago, the team of this dwarf adventurer had just been sacked by a group of wild boar people bandits, and only this dwarf thief in the whole group had escaped by chance, and it was estimated that he was scared out of his mind.

After all, judging from my years of contact with the gnomes, the most of them are either daring madmen or trembling cowards......

The latter view comes from a Minotaur friend of mine, Good's Titan Power Totem.

Well, anyone who has had a deep encounter with the mighty Minotaur Overseer should know something about his hatred and disdain for the Boar and Centaurs.

Although he is a big man with a high status, and he is a heroic master. However, his statement is not accurate in his perception of the boar and centaur races.

……

Well, it turns out that Goode was right.

The Boar People really aren't a heroic race. These damned robbers, bandits, villains. They almost burned my beard! Oh, Moradin, I'm definitely not going to try to reason with those savage creatures in the future!

The only thing they were interested in was how to steal my archaeological paraphernalia and travel supplies!

Damn it!

If I meet them again, I'll bury them all in the caverns of the collapse!

Certain!

……

Straight to the point.

When two evenly matched tribes of the Boar People fight, once the battle is scorched, the leaders of both sides can resolve the conflict through a duel, and the defeated will lose a qiē, the tribe, the people, the rights, the weapons, and of course, its life.

However, when facing armies of other races. Boar people rarely use this rule, preferring to flee and look for the next chance to win when the battle is unfavorable or the opponent's advantage is too obvious.

Of course, occasionally the leader of the Boar People may play a little trick in the event of a victory, in order to have some rare fun and show his bravery to his people and subordinates.

The premise is that the opponent's duelist is clearly not his opponent.

……

A reminder to travelers and adventurers who want to set off on a trip to Kalimdor to explore. When you face those savage and ferocious boar people, make sure to take care of your beard, eyebrows, hair...... and a qiē material...... Excerpt from "Mysterious Land: Boar People"

Author: Brian Brass Whiskers

The clock went back half an hour ago.

Captain Jayvan has been fighting the opposing Boar General Rigwo Steelback for a long time.

Contrary to the steelback beast's expectations, the old-looking minotaur on the opposite side was not only strong and athletic, but even better than himself in the prime of life.

Dozens of rounds of treacherous and intense fighting had passed, and Rigwo Steelback himself was out of breath. But the old minotaur on the other side still had some spare strength, and he didn't seem to feel the slightest tiredness.

And now, the attack from the opposite side is becoming more and more violent, wave after wave, and for a while, the "steelback beast" is tired of running for his life, and the wolf bèi resists, and he can hardly breathe.

The Boar Man side is not only at a disadvantage in the battle of generals, but also in the overall battle situation. Nearly 20,000 newly promoted Boar People troops. At this time, he was beaten by the minotaur warriors in their early 4,000s under the leadership of the old man Gundr, and the wolves rushed to the mound.

In just a few moments, the offense and defense are out of position.

The hunter has become the prey......

Taking advantage of the gap to look around the battlefield, Rigwo* Steelback was already timid in the unfavorable situation of the battle, and began to look for the opportunity and path to get out of the battle.

Seeing the veteran Jevann charge in front of him again, the steelback beast slammed the steel flail in his hand. Slammed into Jayvan's chest.

It's not that Rigwo* Steelback doesn't want to attack the head and neck of a Minotaur veteran, but even if he is taller than the average Boar Man warrior, he can face a Minotaur ...... His height is still very problematic!

However, to the surprise of the steel-backed beast, the old Minotaur who had been trembling with himself with his skills all along, and had not fought hard with him, chose to approach him without giving in this time.

Raising the wearer's heavy steel armor's left arm, Jayvann relied on the thickness and toughness of his heavy steel armor to parry and parry. At the same time, grasp the right hand of the totem pole. He had already used his brute force and stabbed forward.

The huge and heavy totem pole was like a battering ram crashing into the unstable city wall in the terrified eyes of the steelback beast, instantly hammering Rigwo* Steelback far away!

It has to be said that although the armor and weapons created by the minotaur blacksmiths have no technical characteristics, they also have shortcomings such as heaviness and roughness. But there is one feature that is most suitable for the Minotaur warriors - leather is carried!

Glancing at the location where the flail wheel was blocked, the arm armor made of pure steel had no other damage except for a few scratches left on the surface by the spikes on the head of the flail hammer, and a slightly deformed depression.

After moving his arm slightly, Jayvann made sure that his arm was okay except for the bruise in the hollow of his armor, and he had picked up the totem pole again and hurried towards the crash of the "Steelback" that had been hammered several meters away.

As a member of the Terror Totem Clan, the hatred of the Boar People and Centaurs has long been integrated into the blood of Jayvane, and the only thing the veteran captain wants to do now is to do his best to deal with this idiot who dares to provoke and threaten the dragon wrestling army.

"Whoosh!"

A slightly messy sound of breaking the air came from the veteran's side. A pang in the chest. Jevann, who was extremely experienced in combat, turned sideways, slashed the wide totem pole in his hand into a circle, and swept away several crossbow arrows that broke through the air with a slight knock.

As early as the beginning of the war, Jayvann noticed that something was wrong with these Steelmane Clan boar people.

It's not the first time the veteran captain has dealt with these boar men.

But no matter what the confrontation was, whether it was the so-called elite of the boar people or the chieftain's guards, they were not equipped with such sophisticated weapons and equipment as this time. If the current weapons are considered to be excellent, then the thing in the hands of the boar people before was simply a bunch of broken copper and iron......

Just like the bows and crossbows in the hands of those wild boar hunters, it is obviously a shotgun for a cannon!

If it was the shoddy bow and arrow shot by the boar people in the past, Jevarn didn't even bother to use the totem pole to block it. After all, it can't hurt the heavy armor to protect the inner body from a long-range strike...... Just ignore it.

In an instant, he suppressed the doubts in his heart about the origin of the Boar Man's weapons, and the Javann Terror Totem, who was on the battlefield, understood that this was not the time to explore the strange things behind it.

Dodging to the side, he pulled up a terrified boar warrior to block a lightning bolt not far away.

The veteran captain's eyes swept over the crowd of boarmen, and he immediately spotted the Boar Man Thornweaver standing not far from the "Bristleback" casting a spell: an old boar man with a bent back, and at this time it was preparing to make the next offensive spell, wanting to deal a heavy blow to Jayvahn......

Untying the metal javelin he was carrying behind him, the veteran shouted and aimed the javelin at the boar man's spellcaster.

"Collapse—"

There was a crackling explosion, and the javelin sliced through the space with the burning sensation of rubbing against the air. Instantly turned into a black light, and in the blink of an eye, it shot through the ugly head of the boar man shaman, and shot another armored boar man behind him.

The metal javelin, like a piece of rotten wood, pierced through the boar warrior's back, pierced through his chest, and firmly nailed the two corpses to the ground......

"Die!"

A roar of rage. Showing off his throwing skills, Jayvain* Terror Totem strode wildly, and in a few steps he reached the back of Rigwo*, who was trying to stand up. In the next second, the huge and heavy iron plough wood totem pole had already "boomed" with brute force, and hammered into the frightened face of the steel-backed beast...... It's like smashing a watermelon with a hammer, splashing red and white on the ground.

……

In Azeroth. There is one kind of person that should never be underestimated-the old fellows who have their own strengths......

For example, Don's legendary aunt Magatha * Terror Totem, such as "Galeries Lafayette" Tirio Ferdin, such as the old and strong Magni * Copperbeard, such as the "one-man master" King Sarufar...... Which of these old guys is not a model of getting older and more demonic?

Decades of experience, skill, eyesight, and sense of battle allow them to ensure that their strength is still strong even when their physical qualities decline. Not even down but up!

It's like Rigwo's steel-backed...... He's just a "fool" who pays the price for belittling an old guy. And that price was his life.

……

The Boar People really aren't a strong-willed race.

This group of guys who are only suitable for fighting a good battle and will never fight to the death if they are not cornered is the courage to fight to the death. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the old Tang Chang contemptuous shì They are a group of rabble.

Just think about it now, when the new patriarch and the most combat-effective Rigwo* Steelback was killed, the Boar People's troops, which originally had the advantage of troops, suddenly became a plate of scattered sand. Except for a small number of bloody boar warriors who still resisted to the death, the vast majority of cowards and "nimble-minded" guys scattered in a hurry!

Jayvan, anxious to support the mission, did not order a pursuit, rather than chasing down the frightened rabble. The mission of rushing to Razor Ridge to support the orc allies is obviously more important.

However, a particularly strange behavior in the process of evacuating and escaping the group of wild boar people aroused the vigilance of the veteran captain.

……

"What did the boar man do with the armor and equipment all over the ground and didn't pick it up, but took those corpses?"

On the banks of the Nushui River, staring at the direction of the evacuation of the wild boar people's troops, Captain Jevann frowned, and looked suspiciously at the old man Gundrew who was rummaging through the corpses of the wild boar people who had been split into two pieces by a sharp axe, and asked, "Is it for the burial of dead comrades?" ”

"How I didn't know about the Boar Man. When did you have such a sense of collective pride? And only take those barely intact corpses? ”

"Anyway, it won't be because there is not enough food and grass for the winter." The old man Gundru, who was half-squatting on the ground to carefully observe and examine, did not raise his head, spread his hands and replied disapprovingly: "Although those wild boar people eat everything, they are not to the point of degrading and not sparing even the corpses of their kind. Let's talk ...... again."

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he used a broken steel knife to pick up a tattered, filthy linen bag from the bloody corpse. Then with a solemn face, he showed half of the half-bitten black bread and the remaining half of the dried fish in the bag to the surprised veteran Jevann, and said faintly:

"Besides...... The boar people don't seem to be short of food now, on the contrary, they seem to have a surplus! ”

Rummaging through several similar crude and tattered linen bags with food, each of which was in a similar condition - fish with brown bread, and occasionally half a bottle of rum on the corpses of some of the little bosses - was the standard!

Seeing this, even the veteran Jevane's face changed from stunned to solemn......

If it is said. Carrying looted food with you, even in battle, was a normal habit for the boar people in the barrens, and it was not to be a fuss with Jayvan and Old Man Gundru. However, it is not normal to see the "surplus grain" in the food bag of the wild boar people, or the style of almost uniform equipment!

After all, with the appetite of the boar people not inferior to their beast relatives, the giant boar, it is not uncommon for them to eat even a single antelope in one free second of the day.

Now on the carcass of the boar man. It is strange to find the leftover food one after another, instead of being eaten and wiped clean by all the brains!

In this way, there seems to be only one explanation left: unless...... Before the battle took place, these wild boar people, who could be called the king of big stomachs, were already full!

This is the real key, to say that the temperament is lazy and lazy. The wild boar people who are compressed in a corner of Razor Canyon are relying on their own "self-reliance and hard work" to achieve a happy life, rather than someone behind them.

What's more, don't forget that brown bread and dried fish are not the specialties of the barrens......

"It's not just food and the act of carrying corpses, but there's another thing to be wary of." Old man Gundrew carefully rubbed the broken knife in his hand, which broke from the middle and only half of it remained. Frowning, he continued to add: "Their weapons...... Also dubious source! ”

"I broke this Kukri with my own hands...... But before my totem pole could break it, the boar-man lieutenant who used it wounded at least three boys. Even cut a piece of heavy armor with this recurve knife. ”

"The boar people's forging ability alone will never be able to create such a sophisticated weapon, even if there is ...... The number will not be too much. But in this battle, similar sophisticated weapons abound, and even one of the five boar man warriors! ”

The old man's brows became tighter and tighter, and he raised his head to look at the veteran captain on the side, and said in a solemn voice:

"Jayvan. You know what that means! I doubt ......"

"Do you suspect that the Kul Tiras Navy is secretly funding it behind it? After all, if you look at the style, these weapons are not much different from the equipment of the defenders of Theramore. Compared to the old man's worries, Jayvane's face was calm. Shaking his head, the veteran captain breathed a sigh of relief, and replied lightly: "Even if the boar people are supported by weapons, they can't make any waves, and in this land, the current legion has the strength to protect every compatriot!" ”

"Okay, that's what we need to worry about. Report the situation to Goode and let him deal with the decision. He groaned for a moment. Jayvaun* Terror Totem was exchanged for the Harpy Scouts who accompanied the army, and after whispering two words of advice, he ordered him to go to Orgrimmar to convey all the information about the ambush of the Kodo Beast cavalry troops.

Seeing the Harpy scout fade away in the sky, until it turned into a black dot and disappeared, Jayvann suddenly turned his head, looked at the old man Gundrew with a stern and gloomy face, and asked in a whisper:

"Gundr...... Does the boar man's collection of corpses remind you of one of our recent adversaries? ”

"Huh? Who? "Compared to the veteran captain's sensitivity to these strange information, Old Man Gundrew is obviously half a beat slower. After replying blankly, he suddenly woke up, and with a surprised expression, he tentatively said the name that flashed in his mind:

"You mean ......"

In the next second, the two old bullheads, Gundrew Thick Hoof and Jayvann Terror Totem, said in unison:

"Scourge of the Dead...... That's what you call a makeover? This is what you said about improving the combat effectiveness of my people? ”

In the deep and dark cavern of the Razor Heights, the patriarch and high priest of the Boar People clan, Calga *Thorn, pointed to a group of tall boar men with pale skin and dull faces behind him, stared at the figure in front of him with a look of shame and a smell of death that exuded a chill and death, and shouted angrily:

"Cunning and insidious bones, you'd better give me a satisfactory explanation! Otherwise, our cooperation ends here! ”

"And I will tear you apart with my own hands and feed you to the hyenas in the barren land before your master arrives!"

"What's wrong? Don't they meet your requirements? ”

In the face of the Boarman's old witch's angry scolding and threats, the guy who called himself Amenar turned around slowly—hollow bones, floating chains around his body, and the figure holding a bone staff was a lich!

"I don't know fatigue, I don't have pain, because my body contains plague toxins, and my damage is doubled, and I even have eternal life!" The lich's voice was hoarse and harsh, but if you listened closely, you could still make out a hint of banter and mockery in his tone:

"The great Lord of Ice, Amenar, is not teasing you, stupid boar man! Isn't it all strictly in accordance with your requirements? ”

"Also, I advise you to restrain your stupid temper, and I hope you can understand who you are talking to!" The lich's voice suddenly became vicious and cold, and he declared word by word:

"If it weren't for the great Lich King, His Majesty, who thought that the corpses of the Minotaurs you had collected were excellent material for making Death Knights, he would have been satisfied with your watch...... Otherwise....... they'll just turn into ghouls and skeletons, not me! ”

"Please remember this, and recognize where you are, fool!" (To be continued) Q
