Chapter Eighty-Five: Troll Intelligence

The three of them came to the cabin where the troll captives were held again, and the troll hanging in the cabin looked a little flustered when he saw the three of them go and return.

Bai Qi's face showed hideousness and anger, he fiercely pulled out the beheading sword, pretending to be angry, and put it on the troll's neck, the sharp tip of the sword pierced the troll's neck, he roared: "You dare to lie to me, I want to cut off the flesh on your body piece by piece, I want to see if your regeneration is faster, or my sword is sharper, I will spend three days to make you regret the lie you told me!" ”

The troll was suddenly shocked and said, "No, no, I'm telling the truth, I swear, I swear by the souls of my ancestors, I didn't lie to you!" ”

Bai Qi gritted his teeth and said: "You still said that you didn't lie to me, the dragon people are so powerful, even our human race thousands of miles away has heard of it, if you are attacked by the dragon people, I don't believe that your troll tribe can still grind here so unhurriedly." ”

The troll eagerly explained: "No, no, Your Excellency, the Emerald Kingdom is not as strong as you think, really, although the dragonmen are strong, their population is very small, the green dragons in the entire Emerald Kingdom are less than three thousand, and the adult dragonman warriors are only more than a thousand. Dragonmen have very long lives, and they are rarely willing to go into battle in person, at most they only drive away the lizardmen and kobolds they enslave. These slaves are no match for our Zangar warriors, which is why we have been able to coexist with the Emerald Kingdom in the Dark Forest for so long. ”

The sword in Bai Qi's hand was slightly retracted, but he still asked with some suspicion: "If what you are doing is true, then why were you defeated by the Jade Kingdom?" ”

The troll said, "Because the dragonmen are in the war." Those dragonmen, who almost never go to battle, don't know what madness they had, and they actually rushed to the battlefield themselves. Dragonmen are very powerful. Every adult dragonman is stronger than us voodoo warriors, and they are not only powerful. And able to breathe corrosive breath and use terrifying spells, the Zangar warriors, although heroic, were simply unable to resist in the face of the charge of thousands of dragons. ”

Bai Qi put away the long sword in his hand again, seemed to believe his words a little, and asked suspiciously: "Since the dragonmen are so powerful, why don't I see that you don't seem to be in a hurry to attack the human defense line?" ”

The troll seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Your Excellency. Because the population of the dragonmen is so small, although they have killed thousands of Zangar warriors, the heroic Zangar warriors have also killed quite a few dragonmen, and their lizardmen and kobold slaves have suffered ten times more casualties than the Zangar warriors, so their attacks are no longer so ferocious. ”

Bai Qi frowned, and while withdrawing his long sword, he asked, "Since the strength of the dragonmen has been exhausted, why do you still want to migrate, why don't you fight back?" ”

Listened to Bai Qi's question. The troll became a little hesitant, but he only hesitated for a moment before he hurriedly explained, as Bai Qi stopped as he inserted the long sword back into its scabbard, "Your Excellency. It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I don't understand either, although we in Zanga have suffered heavy casualties in this war. But the Emerald Kingdom didn't feel good either, and the valiant Zangar voodoo warriors killed at least five hundred dragonmen. We also have 20,000 mighty Zangar warriors, 800 valiant voodoo warriors. And the slave army of the Emerald Kingdom has been almost consumed, although the remaining dragonman warriors are strong, we are completely sure and brave to defeat them, but I don't know why, the witch doctor elders seem to be afraid of something, they don't want to fight back, they just want to avoid the dragonman kingdom far away. ”

Bai Qi seemed to be persuaded by this troll, he withdrew his decapitation sword, and stared at this troll with interest, looking at the other party's scalp tingling.

Staring at each other for a while, Bai Qi asked, "I'm curious about your identity, an ordinary voodoo warrior shouldn't know so many things." ”

The troll hesitated for a moment and said, "I am Greis, the youngest son of the voodoo warrior Greek...... Speaking of this, he hesitated again for a moment before he said in frustration: "But, Your Excellency, if you want to use me to blackmail my father, I am afraid you will be disappointed, when I was fighting with the dragons, because of cowardice, I killed my brother, the most promising voodoo warrior of the younger generation of the Zushra family, my father has expelled me from the Zushra family and sent me to the Western Front to become the most ordinary warrior." ”

The troll captive Grace said that the voodoo warriors were actually equivalent to the great warriors of the human race.

When Bai Qi heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart that this troll might have been affected by Barian's hypnotism because he had killed his brother and had a flaw in his heart, and I am afraid it was precisely for this reason that this troll's voodoo warrior's heart was so fragile and confessed everything lightly.

Bai Qi paced, pondering Grace's words back and forth many times, but did not find a flaw.

He pondered for a long time, and then said to Grace, "I have one last question. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "I will find a way to confirm your words, if my investigation shows that you did not lie to me, swear in the name of Leonidas, the god of war, I will give you freedom, but...... If you deceive me with even one word, I'll shave every piece of flesh off you. ”

Grace had an irrepressible look of excitement on his face, "You mean, you're going to let me go." ”

"Assuming you're not lying, of course."

Grace hurriedly said, "I swear, I didn't lie to you. ”

Bai Qi asked noncommittally: "I think you should know that there was a battle between your navy and our fleet some time ago. ”

The Gris captive nodded.

Bai Qi asked again: "Then you should know that in this battle, a group of water thieves among our humans betrayed their race. ”

Grace said: "Yes, I know, the Blackwater Bandits, in fact, we have been trading with the Blackwater Thieves for a long time. ”

Bai Qi nodded secretly, and said in his heart, this is right, if there is no relatively long-term contact, how dare the black water thieves come to these completely different kinds of alien races.

He then asked, "Then you should also know that after the defeat, a group of Black Water Water Thieves came to join you, right?" ”

"Yes, I know," said Grace, "I saw them come to our dock and be arrested by order of the commander of the navy, General Renataki. Without resistance, the humans were captured by the soldiers and taken into General Renataki's tent. In the end, it is not known how they persuaded Lord Renataki to let them go and send warships to escort them and their ships out of the docks. ”

Bai Qi then asked, "Where did they go?" ”

Grace said with some uncertainty, "I don't pay much attention to these humans, but judging by the time of the ship escorting them, they should have been sent back to Molinger City." ”

"Where is Molinger City?"

"Molinger City is the current location of the Voodoo Elders of our Zangar Clan, on the western shore of Lake Zangar."

Bai Qi didn't give the other party a chance to breathe, and asked one question after another, continuously asking questions, not allowing the other party to hesitate a little.

From this troll's mouth, Bai Qi learned that the range of activities of the Zangar troll tribe was actually only a small area in the northwest corner of the dark forest.

The range of activities of the Zanga clan is mainly on the banks of the Zanga River, which is a large tributary of the Sora River in the eastern part of the Arare River Valley, which originates in the middle of the limestone mountain range and flows all the way to the northeast, where it joins the Sora River about a thousand miles downstream from the valley of the Arare River.

In the middle of the Zanga River, due to the topography, a lake of thousands of square kilometers has been formed, and this lake is surrounded by the central area of the activities of the Zanga clan, which is called Zanga Lake by the Zanga trolls, and the former capital of the Zanga clan, "Zanga City", is on the southeast shore of Zangar Lake.

Under the attack of the Emerald Kingdom, the Zangar clan lost the Zanga Lake, where their ancestors had lived for generations, leaving only a city of Molinger on the west bank of the Zangar Lake still struggling to survive.

After some inquiry, Bai Qi and Adrian returned to the captain's room, Bai Qi pondered for a long time, repeatedly scrutinizing what the troll captives had said, and found no flaws.

Basically sure that the troll captives were not lying, Bai Qi raised his head and said to Adrian: "I think, to investigate why the Green Dragons attacked the Zanga tribe, maybe there is no need to go to the Emerald Kingdom, maybe there is the answer we want in Molinger City, and if nothing else, the target of our main quest, Captain Sasen, is also there." ”

Adrian frowned and said: "Judging from the captive's confession, it should be like this, but ......, as far as we are concerned, go to the troll's lair, isn't it ......?"

Bai Qi said: "It's very difficult, due to the different races, it is difficult for us to blend into the troll city, but, since entering this space, what thing have we done not to be sleepy?" Rest assured, we'll find a way. ”

"Judging from the description of the captives, the entire Lake Zanga is still in a state of war, and there must be chaos around it, although the dragonmen of the Emerald Kingdom are very powerful, their social form is actually very primitive, and they don't know how to build ships at all. Although lizardfolk are amphibians, they actually prefer shallow waters such as river banks and swamps, so there must be room for us to live in Lake Zanga. ”

"As long as we have enough patience, in the chaotic war, we can always find an opportunity, whether it is capturing the Green Dragon, or capturing a member of the Zangar Voodoo Presbyterian Church, we can solve the problem, as for Captain Sassen...... maybe the Zangar clan who is about to die will not make great efforts to protect him, and maybe, the difficulty of killing him is actually not as difficult as we imagined."

Listening to Bai Qi's words, Adrian pondered for a moment and nodded: "What you said makes sense, the question now is how to revive the morale of those indigenous warriors, the battle just now has made many people timid, if we can't restore their confidence, it will be difficult for us to convince them to follow us deep into the hinterland of the troll territory." ”

Bai Qi smiled slightly and said, "It's not difficult. (To be continued......)
