Chapter Eighty-Eight: Sneaking in the Night

Retreating to the depths of the forest, setting up a sentry, Bai Qi tied the unconscious kobold in his hand to a large tree, took out a leather bag filled with cold water from the storage space, and poured it on the kobold's head.

The icy water of the lake made the kobold sober up, figured out his situation, and immediately struggled violently, and let out a frightened cry, sure enough, it was a gurgling sound very similar to the barking of a puppy, but if you listened carefully, it was not, it was a rather complicated language.

Bai Qi took a step back, drew his decapitation sword, and stabbed the tip of the sword into his mouth, finally telling him to shut up.

Barrian duly used all-night language on Bai Qi and the kobold.

Bai Qi shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up, scream again, and I will cut off your hands and feet, hang you here, and let the beasts eat you." ”

After speaking, he slowly drew his decapitation sword, and the kobold did not call anymore, but prayed in a low voice: "Don't kill me, Pagan won't scream." ”

Grace said that kobolds are cowardly and ferocious creatures who grovel when they are strong, and when they are weak, they are cruel and tyrannical.

Kobolds are the easiest slaves to tame, but they are also the most unfamiliar slaves, they are very obedient when their masters are strong, but when their masters show a hint of weakness, they will show their ferocious minions.

Bai Qi put the long sword on his shoulder, the sharp blade next to his neck, and the feeling coming from the sword told Bai Qi that the tiny scales on this creature's body had no low defense, no worse than the scales of the lizardman.

He twisted his face, trying to look as murderous as he could, and asked, "Where are you from?" What are you doing here? ”

Kobold Pagan tilted his head hard, trying to keep his neck away from the blade. He quickly replied, "I'm the leader of a kobold reconnaissance team under General Pasaladin, and my name is Pagan." I've been ordered by Commander Schneiderlongen to scout the trolls. ”

Bai Qi asked again, "Who is Pasaladin?" And who is Schneiderlongen? Have there been any large-scale battles between dragons and trolls lately? ”

As he asked, he moved his decapitating sword, pressing the blade harder against Pagan's neck.

The kobold Pagan felt the sharpness of the blade pressing on his neck, looked at Bai Qi's fierce eyes, seemed to be very frightened, and quickly replied: "General Pasaladin is the ...... over there" Speaking of this, he pointed to the northeast of Molinger City, "The general of the Passaladin's fortress, he is in charge of the fifty dragonmen in that fortress. One hundred lizardmen warriors, ten thousand lizardmen warriors, fifty thousand kobold slaves. ”

"His Excellency Schneiderlongen is one of the dragonmen under General Pasaladin, and he is my immediate superior, and I came here to investigate on his orders."

"There has been no fighting in months, and the last time ......we attacked this gate," he said, he pointed to the northwest gate of Moringer, "...... More than a dozen dragonmen were killed in battle. I heard that His Majesty was very angry and gave the order for a truce. ”

"Do you know why the Emerald Kingdom attacks trolls?" Bai Qi asked tentatively.

The kobold Pagan said in horror: "I don't know, Pagan really doesn't know, Pagan is just a kobold squad leader." How is it possible to know such an important thing. ”

Bai Qi, who had expected it, was not disappointed, but he still slapped the other party fiercely, and asked viciously, "You often scout here." Have you ever seen a group of creatures like us come into town? ”

The kobold shook his head in horror and said, "No, I haven't seen it." It's also the first time I've seen such a beautiful and intelligent race as you. ”

Bai Qi interrogated repeatedly for a long time, but unfortunately this little thing knew very limited. Seeing that he really couldn't ask anything, he was going to cut off the head of this ugly little thing with a sword.

The other party also seemed to see Bai Qi's malice, kept begging for mercy, kept begging, was willing to be his slave, and muttered about his strengths.

In this guy's muttering, Bai Qi realized that he was still a warlock.

Warlocks are a unique type of spellcaster among dragons and kobolds, who cast spells not by faith, nor by intellect and knowledge, but by bloodline talent.

There is no such spell-casting profession as a Warlock in the space, only a mage who casts spells on intelligence, a priest who casts spells on faith, or other magic professions.

In this mission space, human priests, troll witch doctors, and orc shamans are all primitive mixtures of mages and priests, who master both intellect and faith, but the magic they master is relatively simple and single, and their power is not as good as space spells and magic spells.

Of the three spell-casting classes, the human priests have the most and most complex spells, while the orc shamans have the fewest and most primitive spells.

Warlocks are said to be a special spell-casting ability that only creatures with dragon blood will have, this ability is rooted in their bloodline, no need to learn, no need to exercise, as long as they are adults, they can awaken, and when casting spells, they will not consume mental power, but will consume the spell energy stored in their bodies, completely unaffected by the spell bit, as long as the mana is not exhausted, they can cast any kind of spell in the bloodline at will.

This kind of spell-casting ability sounds very tempting, but there are also disadvantages, the disadvantage is that this kind of spell-casting ability from the bloodline cannot be improved, what level is it when you become an adult, it will always be what level, you can't improve through guò training and learning, and the magic power of the warlock is much lower than that of the mage.

According to Grace, the power of the dragonman's spells is only two-thirds that of the witch doctor.

At present, it is known that the only races with the bloodline of warlocks are the dragons and kobolds, so many kobolds believe that they have the blood of ancient dragons like the dragons, of course, the dragonmen will never admit this.

The kobold's warlock bloodline is very thin, and only about one percent of the kobolds can awaken the warlock ability, and after awakening, they can only master one or two zero-level spells at most.

For example, this kobold warlock named Pagan, he only mastered a zero-level spell, called "Acid Splash", which can shoot a corrosive energy mass, because the energy mass can be sputtered like a liquid, so it got such a name, but it is not actually a real acid.

The amount of spell energy that can be stored in the kobold's body is also very limited, and Pagan can only fire three acid splashes to deplete the spell energy, and it will take several hours for the body to regather the energy to release a spell.

It is said that an adult dragon leader can release seven or eight first-level spells with the spell energy in his body, or four times as many zero-level spells. Moreover, after the spell energy is exhausted, it only takes a few minutes for the energy in the body to naturally gather and release a zero-level spell.

Barian was very curious about Pagan's warlock abilities, and Bai Qi heard the guy claim to be very familiar with the nearby terrain, so he didn't kill him in the end.

Lowering Pagan from the tree, the group sneaked back to the edge of the clearing in front of the northwest gate of Mohringer, where they continued to observe the troll city.

Bai Qi led everyone to lurk in the forest for a whole day, during which several teams of trolls entered and exited the city gate, and the number of them was surprisingly large, all of them were huge teams of more than a thousand people.

In the forests northwest of Mohringer, there are a number of smaller troll towns, and the nearest town, Zugbu, is less than a day's walk from Mohringer.

The city of Molinger, which is besieged on three sides, is transported from these towns for daily needs.

The reason why the trolls must hold on to this lonely city is partly because some voodoo elders are unwilling to completely abandon this homeland that raised the ancestors of the Zangar clan, and on the other hand, it is also to buy time for the north to break the human defenses.

Once this last strongly-defended city is abandoned, it will be difficult for the small city in the northwestern forest to hold on.

In order to prevent the dragon army from looting, every time the trolls delivered supplies and food, they were a large force, at least the size of thousands of troll warriors.

After watching it all day, Bai Qi found it difficult to find an opportunity to scratch his tongue and had to turn his gaze to Adrian.

Sending Adrian into Moringer to search for Captain Sassen's location was a last resort for Bai Qi, but now he had to choose this not very good plan.

Adrian saw Bai Qi's eyes, understood his thoughts, nodded slightly, broke away from the team, and dived into the jungle alone.

At this time, it will be dark, and the stealth technique of the Darkwalker is a dark magic spell, which can be combined with the night, it can exert 200% effect, and the night can better protect Adrian's safety.

Adrian's strength at this time has reached the ceiling of the E-level, and she has even raised several main and secondary attributes such as agility, perception, and intelligence to the upper limit of the E-level.

The bottleneck of E-level only restricts the improvement of the soldier's skill level, but does not limit the improvement of the soldier's basic attributes.

The abundant dark divine power brought by LV5's killing feast allowed Adrian to perform 5 stealth spells in a row, and the stealth skill level of up to level 5 allowed him to maintain half an hour of stealth every time.

In this way, five stealth techniques are two and a half hours, but two and a half hours is still far from enough for a city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and to find a few people in this city, let alone two hours, even two days may not be enough.

Therefore, entering at night is not only more secretive, but also can use the cover of night to find a place to pray and restore divine power.

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Adrian returned to the appointed meeting place, looking at the sleepless and exhausted Adrian shaking his head at himself, Bai Qi was not too disappointed.

Relying on one person to sneak up on a few people in a city with tens of thousands of troops stationed is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and Bai Qi didn't have much hope. (To be continued......)
