Chapter 93: Reconnaissance Squad

A few decades ago, the town of Grasse was called White Grass Village, named after the gray-white weeds surrounding the town, and it was just an ordinary wilderness village.

One rainy night, the mayor's family took in a wandering knight who was passing by, and the mayor's son, who had dreamed of knighthood since childhood, became the wandering knight's attendant and followed him out of town.

Many years later, the little squire followed the wandering knight to participate in the kingdom war, the wandering knight died in battle, and the little squire grew into a real knight, and gained a lot of military achievements, and the unmanaged barren wilderness of his hometown became his knight domain.

He returned with the treasures captured in the war, built a castle outside his hometown's village, and the village of Baicao gradually prospered, and the townspeople thanked the lord's contributions, and the town was renamed Grasse Town.

The Knight of Grasse took in many orphans in the wilderness and taught them knightly skills, which is now the Knights. The Knights of Grasse have aged, but the Knights have always been devoted to the Lord, the Guardian of Grasse, and the Lord's Castle outside the town.

Chen Mian rode on the horses summoned by the summoning mount, listening to the knight squad leader named Phil tell the story of Lord Glass.

He was dressed in black iron armor, his red hair was like a burning flame, and there was a deep admiration and admiration in his eyes every time he mentioned Lord Glass.

Phil They are a scout team sent by the Knights, a group of five, the gnolls have not come to infest the town for a week or so, but they always besiege the caravans sent by the lord to the wilderness, which has attracted the attention of the knights of Glass.

The Grasse Wilderness is indeed very barren, with only one iron-rich mine and a small copper mine, which is the main resource of the entire territory, and the food production is very low, and it is often necessary to go out and buy it.

Although Lord Grasse has stockpiled a lot of food, it is always worrying that it will continue like this. Therefore, a team of knights was sent to explore around the trade road, trying to find the stronghold of the gnolls, intending to cleanse the wave.

In the past, the gnolls attacked the town, and the knights killed a lot of gnolls while resisting, and this time they planned to take the initiative, so they sent a knight team to reconnoiter the gnolls' strongholds.

During their exploration, Phil and the others encountered a team of wandering gnolls, and five hyenas hiding in the white grass burst out and bit the horses of the four knights.

The knight who had lost his horse was dragged down by the troop of gnolls who galloped out and fell into a bitter fight, and the one with the horse intact was strongly urged by the others to leave the place and return to report the news.

This gnoll squad has a total of ten adult gnolls and five hyenas, if it weren't for the gnolls deliberately playing Phil and cooperating with the hyena attack, Phil would have been attritional.

After Chen Mian entered the mission, he happened to appear on the edge of their battlefield. Phil and the four of them struggled to defend back to back, and the knight lost his horse like a falcon lost its wings, and they couldn't run away, but fortunately, the youngest Pierre's horse was not injured and ran away.

They were determined to die, but they did not regret it, it was their mission to protect the Grasse wilderness, and just when they were about to lose their support and not even wield the knight's spear, Phil's head was suddenly smashed by something, and a giant colorful bubble enveloped them.

The gnolls and hyenas surrounding them suddenly found that their attacks had landed on the colored bubbles, which only made the seemingly fragile bubbles shake and take note.

Seeing that the bubble could just protect the four people who were leaning together after it became bigger, Chen Mian was relieved and began to deal with this group of jackals.

Gnolls are humanoids, with heads similar to those of hyenas, and are dressed in haphazardly patched pieces of cloth or armor, presumably ripped from humans.

As soon as the thought moved, the lush white grass around him began to grow wildly, binding the gnolls and hyenas one by one.

Most of the ten gnolls were armed with crude spears, and it was difficult for them to break free from these crazy white grasses.

The attributes of the jackal and hyena also appeared in Chen Mian's perception.

"Race: Gnolls

Health: 100%

Attributes: Strength 18, Constitution 16, Agility 12, Intelligence 6, Perception 10

Skills: Rampant, Gnaw, Spear. ”

Obviously, the strength of these gnolls is not strong, only a little stronger than the rat people, although Phil and they are members of the Knights, the professional level perceived by Chen Mian is still a level 0 warrior, only stronger than ordinary people, but they have all learned knight spears and riding skills, and Phil, who has the highest mana value, is only 5 points.

And the hyenas are not ordinary, and one of them caught Chen Mian's attention, "Race: Gnoll People".

Chen Mian thought of the mission introduction, these hyenas had probably eaten the prey killed by Yegono, and only needed to go through a bloody battle to awaken into a gnol, which is why the gnolls cooperated with the hyenas.

She put on mage armor and cast the Ghost Hand, one of the first 10 level 2 mage spells she had learned, and she never had the chance to use them.

A light gray giant hand appeared in front of Chen Mian, it looked different from the mage's hand, Chen Mian controlled the giant hand, first used the water creation technique to condense a water ball, splashed it on them one by one, and then cast an electric claw, the ghost hand touched the enemy, and the purple arc flashed on the hyena and the jackal.

They were so electrocuted that they didn't even have the strength to break free from the white grass just now, and there was a smell of burnt paste on their bodies.

With the ghost hand, it will be more useful to contact magic in the future, and the electric claw spell is not much weaker than the attack power of the burning hand, but because the spell must be removed, Chen Mian does not use it much.

The Ghost Hand is the hand of the caster's own life energy, so it can be used as an extension of the caster's body to cast contact spells.

However, after condensing the ghost hand, the caster's health will be reduced, and it will be restored after retracting the ghost hand, and if the ghost hand is broken by the enemy in the middle of the process, the health will not be restored.

Chen Mian's current health is 80%, and the ghost hand Chen Mian can last for 3 minutes, at the speed of Chen Mian's instantaneous level 1 spell, in less than 3 minutes, 10 gnolls and five hyenas have already enjoyed the water balloon and electric claw package, lying on the ground and dying, foaming at the mouth.

The mage's mana was almost exhausted, and Chen Mian used the mana in the energy storage pattern to cast the mage's hand, carrying the staff of the violent form, and knocking his head one by one.

After Phil and the others were covered in colorful bubbles, they only saw the white grass around them tie up the gnolls and hyenas one by one like spirits.

A strange gray-black giant hand burst out of electricity, slapping the jackal and hyena one by one to foam at the mouth, and following the giant hand, they saw a black-haired woman in a dark purple robe not far away.

As soon as they wanted to talk, they saw that the delicate daughter had conjured a large staff that did not match her temperament, and there were three sharp blades with a cold light on it.

Seeing her control the white giant hand leading the staff to knock the gnoll's dog head one by one, Phil and the others swallowed a mouthful of saliva and closed their mouths tightly, not daring to make a sound, for fear that she would knock herself out of the way.
