The sound of "hiss-hiss-" continued to come from the bloody mouth full of dagger-style teeth with the rapid and impulsive split core. Immediately after that, under the ugly eyelids made of thin cartilage and membranes, the yellow eyes were the size of tennis balls. The creases under the cheekbones and the signature feature of the bristles protruding from the jagged edges of the scales at the back seem to indicate that the creature belongs to the reptilian family.

The grayish-brown scales that covered the long neck and the pale yellow skin of the abdomen seemed to tell the people around them that it was a creature that lived in an environment that was not very colorful. As the 20-foot-long and more than 4,000-pound behemoth slowly moved forward under the pull of the reins. The liquid that flowed from its mouth fell to the surface, and then it made a "zi-zi-zi-" sound.

Looking at the black stains under his feet, the hideous heads on the top of his head that spread out like epiphany petals. The mammoth soldier who maintained order on the side swallowed subconsciously. These guys, who were afraid that they would accidentally become monsters, had their hearts beating like they were about to burst out.

Fortunately, the sturdy little man in front of him who held the reins seemed to have trained the beast very well. So even with these delicious snacks around, those big lizards with many heads don't eat on their own. And as the tall monsters crowded the main roads of Wintersprings, the remaining mammoths drove the townsfolk they had captured to clear the road of debris - to ensure that the lizards made it to the square in the middle of the town.

Also because of their tall size, when these monsters first entered the square in front of the temple, the observers in the temple spotted them immediately: "What the hell is that?" John. but quickly informed Mr. Boreham of them. There is a case outside. ”

"Isn't that a hydra lizard? I heard it when I was in the main group. They live in swamps or underground! Where did the Northland get such creatures? "The member of the 'Wild Stone Mercenary Regiment' who came to the observation hole after hearing the voice. After seeing the scene in the square, he immediately screamed and cursed.

The observer, who had been pushed out of the way, immediately patted his companion on the shoulder: "Didn't you tell you to inform Mr. Boram of them?" In the unlikely event that the battle is lost because of this delay, will you be responsible? ”

"The premise of notification is that I have to figure out why I notified! You can't just run in and pull people with black eyes like that. The member of the 'Brute Stone Mercenary Regiment' immediately turned around as he replied, and then trotted towards the lounge where Barrett was.

Some time ago, because the mammoths couldn't find a way to break the game, their daily offensive began to slow down. The situation in the town of Winterspring has changed from the initial onslaught to a siege. Under such combat intensity, it is natural that there is no need for an elite like Barrett to stay on the front line all the time. Priest Gatsby and Mr. Yodl also seem to be intending to take this opportunity to train their men—the hard work of training is no substitute for the experience of actual combat. So players naturally have a lot of room to move freely.

In the blink of an eye, Barrett had already appeared from the corner of the passage. As he ran, he asked, "Have you noticed the color and texture on the lizard?" That's right! When he first observed, did John notice that the sight of the multi-headed lizard was in conflict with the surrounding environment? ”

"Mr. Boram, what you said is not a little too difficult for me......" The member of the 'Brute Stone Mercenary Regiment' immediately responded in a crying voice. After all, he was just a member of a small detachment of the 'Brute Stone Mercenary Regiment', just like those multi-headed lizards outside the temple, this guy had never seen a real thing before. To be able to recognize is completely dependent on the training in the mercenary regiment station, is, from the sporadic descriptions heard from the seniors. So it's not easy to recognize those multi-headed lizards, and as for distinguishing the species or something, it's not embarrassing!

Barrett, who knew his own problems, was a little difficult for the ordinary aboriginal mercenary in front of him. Then he smiled bitterly: "Forget it!" Then let me confirm it myself! ”

Hearing this, little John's muscles that had been tensed by nervousness were now finally relaxed. And Barrett, who rushed to the observation hole, swept past the tall hydra lizards. His gaze immediately fixed on the bald guys holding the reins of the lizard in their hands: "Gray dwarf! How did these damn guys get to the surface? Could it be that this time the noble council and the actions of the mammoth dynasty have anything to do with those underground rats in the place? ”

Although it looks somewhat similar to the anvil in the team. But these expressions on his underground face are not good. Although they are just as diligent, courageous and decisive as ordinary dwarves. They rarely actively raid surface areas or search for victims for torture. But these greedy, irritable, gloomy, irascible and ungrateful artisans of the Dark Lands are happy to enslave any creature that might fall into their hands. They don't waste their slaves on the cruel scenes that Drow loves. Correspondingly, they will only let their captives work to the death.

When he saw these guys, Barrett couldn't help but think of the dark elves he had dealt with only a few months ago. After all, there are not many independent cities of the Grey Dwarves in the Dark Regions, and a large number of them exist as high-ranking slaves of the Dark Elves. That's why Barrett wondered if there were those damn black skins behind this.

"It does look like a normal protolizard, but the spines on the head and neck seem to be different in color from the usual species?" Barrett, who was thinking about this, muttered with some uncertainty: "Be careful!" Who knows if it's some new breed that has been cultivated by those underground regimes? ”

"A multi-headed protosnake lizard? Everyone prepares a bottle of strong acid and blazing glue. Rieli, who arrived immediately behind Barrett, immediately commanded to the left and right.

Barrett, who was immediately from the observation hole, turned his head and said very seriously: "Go and gather all the personnel who are good at breaking weapons and decapitation here, we are afraid that we will have to adjust our tactics later." ”

For the behemoth outside, Barrett felt a little like he was on the verge of a great enemy. I don't know about the mammoth barbarians. It's how to break through the city gates. But with this reinforcement from afar. Barrett always had a very uneasy premonition in his heart. So what the hell are you going to do with that damn hydra lizard. This has become a question that must be considered - after all, the current temple of the 'goddess of wealth and commerce' can be called what is lacking.

And the hydra lizard is notoriously difficult to deal with. While the hydra's body can be killed like any other creature, the hydra has the ability to heal as quickly as a troll, and it is very difficult to defeat in this situation.

Although cutting off all the heads or destroying its body can kill the hydra lizard. However, to cut off its head, the attacker must perform a difficult slash using a slashing weapon. Because the head of the hydra lizard is constantly waving and twisting in battle, it is not an easy task to accurately cut off the head of the hydra lizard.

That's why Barrett had just ordered someone to find someone who was good at breaking weapons and decapitating. Of course, if it were Barrett, he wouldn't have taken the initiative. Instead, he tried to cut off the head of the hydra lizard when it bit him. However, this tactic not only requires difficult skills and experience, but also has a high test of mental quality. Of the remaining people in the temple, only Mr. Yodel seems to have met such a condition.

Of course, cutting off the head doesn't mean it's over. Although these heads do occupy a lot of the life force of the hydra lizard. However, after the head is cut off, the neck will heal on its own to avoid further blood loss. This makes it impossible for the hydra to continue to attack with the snake neck left after the head is cut off, but it will not continue to be damaged.

Even more troubling is that 6-24 seconds after each head is cut off, two new heads will grow out of the severed area. Although in any case, the number of heads of the hydra lizard will not exceed twice the number of its original heads. And heads that exceed the number of their original skulls will automatically wither and die within a day. But this temporary extra head is a challenge for all.

Of course, in order to suppress the growth of the severed head into two new ones, you must deal enough (at least 5 points) of fire or acid damage in the broken area before the new head grows. So the hydra lizard will not die unless all of its heads have been cut off and all of its severes have been burned by fire or acid. Because of this, Rielly would have immediately ordered someone to prepare a bottle of strong acid and fiery gel.

"Wait a minute, and ask the temple if there are any blazing weapons or acid weapons or other weapons of similar effect. Together, they should also have a good effect. Soon, Barrett remembered that the force he belonged to was fighting local tyrants. Immediately, other solutions were found. After all, that kind of magic weapon can cut off a head and deal enough energy damage at the same time, so it can eliminate the subsequent processing process.

"Luckily, I still have a lot of Fireball Scrolls in my hand. Wait a minute, it should work. Rielly said as she began to flip her pocket—the flames or acid in the area of effect could burn multiple broken heads. It can also inflict damage on the body of hydra lizards.

Barrett's expression became worse when he heard this: "Since the weaknesses of those hydra lizards are well known. In order not to think that their users won't make up for this with spells, you can still dispel the protective energy spells that may be hanging on them for a limited time! ”

"If only I could use spells like 'Dissociation', 'Finger of Death', or 'Killing' now. They're capable of killing the disgusting lizards out there with a single blow. "Rielly is desperate for those high-ring spells!

However, Barrett poured cold water at this meeting: "Those few spells can indeed kill the hydra lizard outside with one hit." However, with their strong physique and huge vitality, the probability of achieving one-time success is not very large. ”

Just as Barrett and Rielie were off the beaten track, Pastor Gatsby and Mr. Joddle were late. He was followed by the current leader of the 'Brute Stone Mercenary Regiment' detachment, Roman Heavy Swordman. Among them, Pastor Gatsby's expression did not change too significantly after confirming the behemoth that appeared in the square. Obviously, he didn't think that those few beasts alone would be able to get the sturdy outer walls and gates of the temple.

But then he couldn't laugh anymore, because after the hydra lizards had stepped into the square. There was a series of 'sonorous' sounds of iron chains colliding outside, and soon a battering ram with an A-shaped protective bracket was slowly pulled into everyone's field of vision.

Pastor Gatsby, who happened to see this scene, immediately couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "We, in Winterspring Town, are recruiting someone to provoke someone." Can you use such a big pomp and circumstance to deal with such a small place? ”

You know, the battering rams that appear now are different from the gadgets that mammoths were carried by the brutes before. This guy's tremendous strength, with the blessing of spells, would really pose a major threat to the outer direction of the temple. At present, there are no countermeasures that can effectively restrain it.

After all, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce built a small temple in Wintersprings. Although it is considered a high standard among temples of its class. But the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business' church, which is very cost-effective, is unlikely to invest resources here far beyond what was needed before.

This is like the frigates and cruisers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. No matter how the displacement of the frigates at that time was expanding, and how high-end the equipment was added. But the tasks it undertook made it impossible for it to be the same as a real cruiser. So when faced with enemies far beyond their capabilities, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce was in danger when it left its temple in Wintersprings.

"If I'm not mistaken, Winterspring is probably the closest port to Walkerson!" Barrett was sober at this time, "That is to say, the coalition of the Council of Nobles and the Mammoth Dynasty should not be able to attack well in Walkerson." That's why they can't wait to open the gap in our little place. Take advantage of the convenience of sea freight to provide sufficient supplies for the next operation. (To be continued.) )
