Chapter Eighty-Four: Interrogation of the Captives
In the battle just now, twelve warships were jumped or climbed up by at least forty or fifty troll warriors, and in addition to more than twenty unlucky ghosts who were knocked into the river, more than thirty people were injured.
All of these wounded were stabbed by the trolls' war spears, some were very badly wounded, some were only pierced through the skin by the tip of the spear, but no matter how light or serious the injuries were, as long as they were injured, they all lost their combat effectiveness.
Trolls are experts at using poisons, and the tips of their spears are all made from the teeth of an unknown beast, which are extremely absorbent and only need to be soaked in poison for a short time to absorb venom and retain the poison for a long time.
The spear in the hands of the Voodoo warrior has been specially treated by the troll witch doctor, and will permanently attach extremely strong voodoo.
Anyone who is stabbed by a venomous spear will not only suffer from injuries, but also be attacked by voodoo.
Fortunately, although humans have not had large-scale conflicts with trolls before, there have been small-scale conflicts, so humans are not ignorant of trolls.
Before Bai Qi set out, the high priest had given him a batch of divine water dedicated to voodoo antidote.
After the wounded fighters took the antidote divine water, the situation improved, but it may take time to completely recover, that is, the wounded will lose their combat effectiveness in the next period of time.
The statistics after the war made everyone a little frustrated, and they almost had the upper hand in today's battle, but the result was that they suffered more losses. This made the originally confident people shake up a little.
Even Bai Qi couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder the First and Second Fleets of Leoni City ambushed the Blackwater Water Thieves and the Troll Fleet in front of the Gray Fortress that day. also had the upper hand, but only got a miserable result. ”
Bai Qi had the fleet attached to the north bank of the Suluo River. Downstream. He ordered the ships to be vigilant and told the oarsmen to stop rowing. Move forward only by the speed of the current.
After settling down, the fleet slowly descended the river, and the atmosphere on the ship was a little dreary.
Bai Qi was thinking about how to stir up everyone's affection, and Adrian and Barrian came to find him.
It turned out that at the same time as the fleet passed through the Arare Valley, the two suddenly got a prompt from the system and received a task for career advancement.
The two were tasked with the exact same task, asking them to investigate the cause of the troll tribe's attack on human territory.
This task is deceptively simple, and it seems that all it takes is to catch a random troll and interrogate it. But Adrian and the others never dared to take it lightly, the task of career advancement is by no means so easy to complete, although it is not as difficult as the challenge task, but it is also more difficult than the general advanced task, and the task of crossing the bottleneck is generally a chain task.
After listening to the request of the two of them, Bai Qi led them to a cabin in the stern of the ship, where the troll voodoo warrior whose limbs had been severed by him was imprisoned.
In just a few moments, the troll's limbs had completely crusted over, but he wanted to grow more. It's not that easy, it takes a lot of energy and time.
The trolls, who had lost their limbs, had been suspended in mid-air by the soldiers with ropes.
Bai Qi and the three of them pushed the door in, and the human stick troll hanging in the air dangled glanced at them and closed his eyes again.
However, Bai Qi keenly caught the terror that flashed in his eyes.
Bai Qi had heard Barrian say it. Psychic spells such as vertigo and hypnosis are very effective against space soldiers. But it's hard to work against natives of the same level, he guessed. This is most likely due to the fact that the Space Soldier's strength is too easy to come by, and they can't compete with the natives in terms of will.
Bai Qi guessed. Since this troll warrior can be successfully hypnotized by Barian once, does that mean that this guy is actually relatively weak?
The trace of fear that flashed in the other party's eyes just now undoubtedly confirmed this.
Bai Qi came to the troll, and Barian cast the "All Night Language" spell on him and the troll.
"All-night language" is actually a psychic connection spell.
When people speak, there will be a strong reaction in the heart, and the spell of all-night language can make the recipient have a subtle telepathy, directly feel the mental reaction when the other party speaks, so as to perceive the meaning of the other party's words, if the two sides do not understand the language, it will make people suddenly understand the wonderful feeling of not understanding the language at all.
Bai Qi pressed the hilt of his sword against the other party's chest, stopped his constantly rotating body, looked at his closed eyes, and sneered, "I'm going to ask you a very simple question, you can refuse to answer me, I will chop you into meat sauce, burn you to ashes, and then go and catch a prisoner back." ”
As soon as Bai Qi's words fell, the troll opened his eyes in surprise and asked incredulously, "Do you speak troll language?" Not right......"
Bai Qi said coldly: "Now I am asking you questions, not the other way around, if I were you, I would have considered the choice I gave you, instead of caring about this small issue that has nothing to do with your life." ”
"The question I want to ask is, why did your troll clan, which lives so well in the rich dark forest, suddenly invade our human territory with the orcs?"
"I'll give you ten breaths to think about it, answer me, or reject me, live or die!"
As time passed, the troll's breathing suddenly became short, and Bai Qi was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that there was a play.
Just as the troll took his tenth breath, Bai Qi took a step back and pulled out his decapitation sword with a thud.
Because Bai Qi suddenly withdrew the scabbard against his body, the troll whose body spun involuntarily shouted in horror: "Wait, I'm willing to answer you......"
Bai Qi pressed the unsheathed decapitation sword on the troll's shoulder, coldly looked at the other party's eyes, and said, "Then, answer me." ”
The troll squinted at the sharp and cold decapitation sword pressed against his neck, and said in a very fast voice: "Because of the northern invasion of the Emerald Dragonman Kingdom in the south, our Zanga Voodoo tribe was defeated and lost a large area of land, and the Dragonman clan does not seem to be satisfied, and there are signs of continuing to go north, so the tribal elders decided to abandon most of the territory in the dark forest and go elsewhere to find territory. ”
"There are powerful orcs in the north, and the forests further east are the territory of the terrible green dragons, so we can only focus on the human territory on the other side of the limestone mountains, and I heard that the southern part of the human territory is a jungle no smaller than the dark forest, which is enough for our Zanga tribe to grow."
After listening to him, Bai Qi glanced back at Adrian, and she nodded slightly, indicating that they had received a prompt to complete the task.
Bai Qi turned back to the troll and said, "I hope you are honest, I will verify your words." With that, he took the decapitation sword and followed Adrian out of the cabin.
Back in the captain's room, Adrian said to Bai Qi, "The first round of missions has been completed. ”
Speaking of this, she looked a little embarrassed and said, "The second round of tasks is to continue to investigate the cause of the northern invasion of the Jade Dragon Kingdom. ”
Listening to Adrian's words, Bai Qi's brows also furrowed, if you want to investigate the reason for the northern invasion of the Jade Dragon Man Kingdom, you must go deep into the Dark Forest, how big the Dark Forest is, Bai Qi doesn't know, but just looking at the vast range of human territory, he knows that the Dark Forest will definitely not be small.
The attack of the orc and troll alliance on the human defense line was tightening day by day, and if they delayed in the dark forest for a month or two, by the time they returned, eighty percent of the daylilies were already cold.
This will inevitably require them to make a trade-off, whether to prioritize the completion of the main quest or the career advancement quest of Adrian and the two.
What's even more confusing is that, according to convention, once the main quest in the mission space is completed, all space soldiers will not continue to stay in the space for more than three days.
Adrian hesitated for a moment, and said to Bai Qi, who was frowning: "I think we should still focus on the main quest, even if this career advancement mission fails, we still have a chance in the next mission space." ”
Bai Qi shook his head and said: "No, I'd rather give up the main quest, but also give priority to completing your career advancement tasks, every time the career task fails, the task completion evaluation will be forced to lower by one level, which is directly related to your future future, and it must not be delayed." Moreover, if you can't break through the professional bottleneck this time and your strength is stuck, then our next mission will be even more difficult, even if I enter the training space next time and successfully improve my strength to E level, I will be unable to support it alone. ”
Adrian frowned and said: "But even if Barian and I complete the career advancement task this time, the evaluation of the main quest is too low, the rewards are too few, and there are no resources, what can we do to improve our strength, and if we don't have enough merits, what do you use to buy training cards?" ”
Bai Qi's brows furrowed, pacing back and forth in the cramped captain's room, lost in thought.
After a long time, Bai Qi shook his head and muttered, "No, it shouldn't be like this?" ”
After muttering a few times, Bai Qi suddenly raised his head and asked Adrian, "You have completed the advanced career quest before, have you encountered this kind of conflict with the main quest?" ”
Adrian shook his head and said, "No, not only have we never met, but we haven't even heard of it." ”
Bai Qi said: "That's right, we must have made a mistake." ”
Speaking of this, Bai Qi raised his feet and walked out of the cabin, and said as he walked: "Let's go, go and interrogate the prisoners carefully, we must have overlooked something." (To be continued......)
