Chapter Ninety-Three: Troll Bloodline
Entering Lake Zanga, Bai Qi and the others set off overnight, bypassing the space soldier fleet on the islands in the middle of the lake and entering the south of Lake Zanga.
The fleet found a relatively hidden river bay to hide in the south of Lake Zanga, and Bai Qi finally made room to interrogate the troll witch doctor they had captured.
The interrogation of the troll witch doctor was surprisingly difficult, and Bai Qi tortured the old troll for three days, and no amount of hypnotic spells could pry open the old stubborn mouth.
Having succeeded in killing Captain Sassen, the space soldiers recruited by Bai Qi became increasingly dissatisfied with his stay in Lake Zanga.
Bai Qi had to arrange for these indigenous warriors to return to human territory first.
In order to avoid accidents, Bai Qi arranged for Rounda to be the leader of the fleet, and promised Ustutu an additional 3,000 gold coins in his employment fee, so that he would be responsible for protecting Roundup.
In the end, Bai Qi only left his own ship, the Dawn, and some trusted old subordinates such as Gunder and Duncan.
After sending off the native warriors, Bai Qi simply used the more time-consuming and stupid method of "boiling eagles" to deal with the old troll.
It took seven or eight days to finally weaken the will of the troll witch doctor, so that Barian completely destroyed his will with the two spells of hypnosis and "seducing humans", and asked them what they wanted to know.
It turned out that the reason why the Emerald Kingdom wanted to attack the Zangar clan was because the king of this kingdom, a powerful green dragon warlock, actually researched a method to extract the life essence of the troll, and was able to inject the life essence of the troll into the bloodline of other creatures through a special bloodline ritual, so that other creatures could also have the regenerative ability of the troll.
No wonder the trolls are trying to escape the dark forest. In the Dark Forest, there are many creatures that are more powerful than trolls. They all envy the troll's powerful regeneration ability, once this method of seizing the troll's regeneration ability spreads. Trolls feared that they would be wiped out, so they wanted to escape the dark forests of powerful creatures and escape into the weak realm of humanity.
After the interrogation revealed the result, Adrian and Barian were given a new assignment.
Class Quest "Gifted Bloodline": The genetic scientists at the Tower of Babel are also very interested in the trolls' regenerative abilities, so they can seize the dragonman's method of performing the bloodline ritual and get at least one copy of the troll essence, bring it back to the space, and give it to the Evolution Hall.
See this task. Adrian and Baryan were both dumbfounded.
Dragonmen are born with more powerful strength and melee ability than human God's Chosen Warriors, and they also have spell-casting abilities that are not weaker than first-level mages.
This is a barbaric era where strength is respected, and the king of the Dragonman Kingdom is at least one of them, if not the most powerful dragonman in the Dragonman Kingdom, so how powerful he is, Bai Qi doesn't even dare to imagine.
To snatch food from such a strong man, the difficulty is simply desperate.
Adrian and Barian couldn't help but wonder if the space had gone wrong.
Bai Qi after some careful consideration. It's better for everyone to go and see it first.
The authority of the space system is unquestionable, and Adrian and Barian know that complaining won't solve anything.
The trio found a hidden shore on the southeast shore of Lake Zanga and docked their boats.
Discovering Bai Qi, their target seems to be the Emerald Kingdom. The Troll Witch Doctor seems to have become a little more cooperative.
Despite this, Bai Qi still ordered Barian to use hypnotism to repeatedly confirm the information provided by the other party.
From the mouth of the troll witch doctor. The trio received a surprising message, based on the news brought back by the trolls who had escaped from the dragonmen and multiple reconnaissances. The trolls judged that the Dragonman Kingdom had most likely moved the center of the country to Zangar City, the former capital of the Zangar tribe. Other words. The dragon king is likely to be inside the city of Zangar.
Leaving Gunder to guard the ship and the troll witch doctor, the three of them took Duncan and seven or eight sailors to sneak from the jungle to the outskirts of Zangar City.
According to the information provided by the troll witch doctor, the group found a hill seven or eight kilometers south of Zangar City.
The hill was densely forested, and the sailors, under Duncan's command, soon set up a makeshift camp on the slope of the hill with the city of Zanga on its back, and set up lookout posts on several large trees on the top of the hill.
These sailors were much more obedient than the unruly Chosen Warriors recruited by Bai Qi, and the camps and observation posts built made Bai Qi very satisfied.
As the capital of the Zangar tribe, Zanga City is the largest city on the shores of Lake Zanga, and at its peak, it once housed more than 20,000 trolls.
Today, there don't seem to be many inhabitants in this sizable city.
As masters, the dragons do not seem to be willing to live with slaves, and most of the lizardmen and kobolds do not live in Zangar City.
A large number of lizardmen have established large and small settlements on the shores of Lake Zanga, while kobolds have settled in the forests southeast of the city.
On the outskirts of the city, large swaths of wooden houses built by trolls have been razed to the ground, and prisons have been built in which hordes of trolls are kept.
Quite a few draconian guards led hordes of lizardmen around the prison area.
The interior of the city was sparsely populated, and there was silence except for the dozens of dragonmen patrolling back and forth around the temple in the center of the city.
After observing the general situation in Zangar City, Bai Qi ordered Adrian to infiltrate Zangar City to find out the details that night.
The next morning, Adrian returned, looking at her with a solemn face, Bai Qi knew that the situation was not optimistic.
Adrian said, "The Emerald King is in the temple of Zangar City, and he is accompanied by four dragonman generals and a dragonman guard of hundreds of people. With such a huge force, even if we sneak into the temple, I'm afraid we won't have a chance! Adrian said.
Bai Qi nodded noncommittally and motioned for Adrian to continue.
"The aura of the Emerald King is very powerful, not even much worse than Leony's consul, and considering the other party's part-time warriors and dragon vein warlocks, I think that is by no means a storage zĂ i that we can deal with now. The dragon generals under him are all strong men at the level of great samurai. â
"The core hall of the temple cannot be infiltrated, there are eight dragonman guards there all the time, and the gate is very narrow, even if I stealth it, there is no way not to alarm the guards."
Bai Qi asked again, "How about the defense of the city's periphery?" â
Adrian said: "The perimeter is very lax, because dragons and lizardmen are not good at using bows and arrows, on the city wall, the arrow tower built by trolls is almost abandoned, it is easy to climb over and sneak in, but not far from the city wall, is the prison where the trolls are held, the guards there are very tight, even me, when I sneak in, it is very thrilling." â
"However, after careful investigation, I found a loophole, and there is a prison on the west side of the city that is empty, and the guards there are much more relaxed."
Bai Qi asked again, "Is it possible to release the imprisoned trolls and cause chaos?" â
Adrian said: "This is the most disappointing part, the dragonmen are very strict with the trolls, and the number of lizardmen guarding them even exceeds the trolls in the prison, and those trolls are all unarmed, and even if they are released, they are only sent to death." â
Hearing this, Bai Qi couldn't help frowning.
After pondering for a long time, Bai Qi looked up at the clouds in the sky, and then at the trees on the mountain, frowning, as if he was remembering something.
After a moment, he furrowed his brows and asked Adrian, "If we take ten sailors with us, are we sure to sneak into the interior of the city?" â
Adrian thought for a moment and nodded: "It shouldn't be a big problem, there are no dragonmen guarding that empty prison, only a few teams of lizardmen patrols, these sailors in Leoni City are good, they should be able to do it." â
After listening to Adrian's answer, Bai Qi finally showed a faint smile.
Seeing the familiar smile on Bai Qi's face, Adrian knew that he already had an idea, and his heart couldn't help but feel relieved.
Bai Qi summoned Duncan and told him to inform the sailors to infiltrate Zangar City with him tonight.
Although he didn't understand why Bai Qi wanted to sneak into the dangerous Zanga City, Duncan, who had long admired Bai Qi to the extreme, didn't ask for a reason at all, so he went to gather sailors and announced Bai Qi's order.
This time, all the sailors left behind by Bai Qi were the ones who had followed him for the longest time, and these brave Leoni soldiers did not even hesitate to express any hesitation about Bai Qi's extremely dangerous order, and they all silently began to prepare.
Looking at these sailors, Bai Qi's mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
He left the camp, climbed to the top of the hill, climbed a large tree, found a position with a good view of the city of Zanga, took out a telescope, pencil, paper, and began to draw a topographical map of the city.
After a few exercises, Bai Qi gradually became proficient in drawing maps, and after drawing the maps, he returned to the camp and made eleven copies of the maps, exactly one for each person.
Bai Qi gave Adrian all the maps and asked her to mark the weak points of the city's perimeter guards.
Adrian took the map and looked at the dozen or so tall wooden buildings in the north of the city that were specially marked by Bai Qi on each map, and seemed to understand something, and his eyes suddenly lit up. She marked each map with the location of the weak points of the city's perimeter guards.
Bai Qi gathered the sailors together and explained to them how to read the map. Finally, Bai Qi pointed to the location specially marked by him on the map, and said: "There are two relatively tall wooden buildings marked by me on each map, and the wooden buildings marked on each map are different, after you get the map, the location of the wooden buildings marked in the map in your hand is your goal to infiltrate Zanga City this time, and everyone must remember their target location." â
After speaking, seeing that the sailors seemed to understand what he meant, he sent the map down.
After handing out the map, Bai Qi handed Duncan a telescope and asked him to take the soldiers to the top of the mountain to observe the city of Zanga, and try to let the soldiers match the map in their hands with the real city. (To be continued......)
