5. Foothold Chapter Ninety-Three: The Ogre Tribe
When Donald found the ogre, the other party's lunch was almost over, probably having eaten two kobolds as snacks and padding the bottom, so the ogre quickly finished eating, and got up with the remaining half of the prey carcass and headed northeast. Although the kobolds who were picking up the leftover bones of the food residue were not full, they could only scream a few times helplessly because of the ogre's power and closely followed the footsteps of their masters.
It's not as far away as before, and you can let go of the speed and hurry.
At this point, it was time to act carefully, and Donald ordered everyone to let the horses go, let them go out of the woodland on their own, return to the interior of the territory, and then follow the ogre's trail and march deeper into the forest.
An hour later, the group followed the ogre to a ridge in the Izumo Mountains in the northeastern part of the Barony of Dalaran and Red Maple, deep in the Green Cloak Forest.
"I think we're here!"
Donald, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and through the perspective of the owl, he saw a valley not far ahead, the nearby mountains were quite gentle, the entrance to the valley was relatively hidden, and the surrounding was covered by purple, red, orange and yellow mountain vines and old trees because of late autumn, and it looked like a paradise at a glance.
It's just that now this secluded valley is being occupied by savage and terrible ogres, the valley is full of smoke and miasma, and dozens of huge ogres are lazily lying on some smooth rocky ground, and a group of no less than a hundred kobolds are working, cleaning up the ogre's excrement and food scraps, and then dumping them all on the side of the valley.
I saw that the ravine on the side of the valley was full of bones of various creatures, including wild beasts, demonic beasts, and of course, a small number of bones that looked like humans.
Donald saw the situation in the valley, and his face couldn't help but become very ugly.
"My lord, have you found the ogre's lair?"
Master Murray asked when he saw Donald stop.
Donald nodded, and said in a deep voice: "We've found their lair, but we're probably not enough to have a meal!"
"Are there a lot of ogres?"
Donald smiled bitterly: "There are no less than fifty heads, more than a dozen small ones, it should be a female xìng ogre and a juvenile little ogre, and the rest are adult male xìng ogres, if I am not mistaken, one of them is an exceptionally huge mutant ogre with blue-gray skin, it seems to be their leader, it should be the ogre wizard mentioned by Master Murray before." ”
The two mages also frowned when they heard this. This amount exceeded their expectations. Imagine what kind of force dozens of powerful warriors of the Bronze Peak were, at least not something that a low-level mage like them could match without reaching the Bronze Threshold. And mutated ogre wizards generally have at least the combat power of the first stage of silver, and to defeat it, they have to be strong in silver.
Now this point of manpower is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and rash action is to go and have no return.
Of course, Donald also knows this, but he has completely absorbed the power of the Fire Burning Demon, and his hidden strength has steadily reached the level of an ordinary silver powerhouse, once he casts a demon transformation, then he has the combat power of the silver peak, although there is a time limit, unless the opponent cultivates a special secret technique, otherwise there is no opponent under the gold.
Donald reckoned that he could at least fight against the ogre wizard while also supporting half of the ogre, and the remaining old and weak relied on the cooperation of many summoned creatures and Uther, and should be able to temporarily contain them for a while, and then solve the rest after he eliminated those main ogre forces.
However, although the three mages of Murray had shown some loyalty, Donald could not have predicted how they would feel when they saw him transform into a powerful demon. Moreover, the amount of magic cores required to summon enough summoned creatures to fight against ogres is also very staggering, and at least all the magic cores above his third level must be consumed, and Donald does not want to waste these rare and precious magic cores unless he has to do so.
So he immediately decided: "Since the enemies are too strong for us to fight, then don't alarm them and return to the territory now!"
Master Murray took the lead in nodding in agreement, acting in a planned manner without being reckless, and being steady and not panicked in case of trouble, which is the good quality that a good mage should have. As for Uther and the others, they naturally all take the orders of Donald, the master, as their own responsibility, and there will be no disobedience to the master's decision.
Only Mage Diner seemed a little unwilling, and Donald advised: "Don't be disappointed, finding their lair is not a small gain, depending on the location, they are still a long way from the territory border, and they don't often appear in the direction of the territory, so we still have some time to find a way to remove these ogre threats!"
Diner naturally knew this, he was just a little sorry for not being able to fight the ogre. Sometimes he wished he had been a warrior instead of a mage!
Now that the lord Donald persuaded him, and Murray, who had always respected him, he had to say, "Okay, lord, but you must call me next time you deal with ogres!"
Donald shook his head and smiled, "This is natural! No one will be without Master Diner!"
After saying that, the group of sixteen people quietly withdrew from the range of the valley and returned the same way in the direction they came.
After returning to the realm, Donald did not seek help from his teacher or others, but sat in the lord's mansion and thought by himself.
Between the Black Iron Rank and the Bronze Rank is the watershed between low-level mages and mid-level mages, and it is very difficult to cross this level, generally eighty percent of mages are stuck at this step, and they cannot be promoted for many years. For example, the three mages such as Murray, although they have the help of the ** equipment and materials provided by Donald, they are still a long way from the requirements of the bronze rank.
Speaking of himself, if he does not show the ability of the Demon Hunter, the most powerful of a spell ability is the Divine Spell Frost Nova bestowed by the Book of Truth.
There's no way, it's really because the time he has been a mage is too short, and now after being promoted to a bronze mage for a period of time, there are only five fourth-level spells he has mastered, and they are all auxiliary and defensive spells, and the real powerful attack spell is only the Frost Nova which is equivalent to the fifth-level range attack spell.
However, the frost nova belongs to the list of war spells in the range, and the attack power against a single enemy is not too strong, at most it has the power of a three-level attack spell, and its powerful genus xìng lies in the freezing effect that can effectively imprison the enemy's activity ability within the spell range.
But Donald knows that although his talent and system are strong, his mana is also limited, and if he doesn't rest and recover, he will be unable to bear it if he casts Frost Nova three times in a row at most.
As for a silver-level powerhouse, it would be difficult for the frost power of this level to have much effect. Unless he himself is also promoted to the Silver ranks, the power of the innate spells will naturally increase.
"The spiritual power increased from the peak of black iron to the bronze rank is more than ten times that of before, and I can learn more powerful fourth-level spells, and with the white crystal ring given by the teacher, I can even cast some fifth-level spells beyond the level. However, it takes a short period of time to learn and apply these before they can become their own strengths. ”
"At present, one of the best ways to improve your strength is to enter the early stage of bronze, and the spirit hún level has been increased by one level, and you can choose a constant talent spell again, which can be used on those nasty indigenous monsters. ”
The first is a life-saving skill, the second is a range attack skill that controls the field, and the third is a special skill, so this time Donald decided to choose a more powerful attack skill to make up for his lack of effective attack means.
So Donald said to the empty room: "Book of Truth, open the list of skills!"
As soon as the words fell, a light curtain of Jin Sè appeared in front of his eyes, on which were listed the game skills belonging to the Warcraft.
"The Paladin's skills are excluded first, and with Uther present, the Paladin's skills are repeated. ”
"The archmage already has the most powerful skills himself, and the rest is not necessary. ”
As for the Blood Elf Prince's Flame Strike, it is not bad, it has a wide range, strong attacks, and it can last for a while, but Donald has other plans for the Blood Mage, so naturally he will not choose his special skills. And the dwarf king's skills are in conflict with the mage profession, so they are also skipped.
After the four heroes of the Terran race have been crossed out, the skills of the other three races and neutral heroes can be seen below. Although there are many unique skills of the class other than heroes, the development potential is far less than that of hero skills, and most of them are support skills or racial abilities, so they were abandoned by Donald.
Because this time I plan to choose a strong attack skill, most of the support skills have been skipped.
If the attack power of all races' skills is the most powerful, it is none other than the Orc Sword Master's ultimate Blade Storm, Donald estimates that he uses a pair of Moon Blades of the Demon Hunter to cast it, and the effect should not be inferior to the single sword of the Sword Master. However, in the end, it is not a specialized sword master, and there will definitely be a big gap in the power of the swordmaster's profession.
The effect of the earthquake of the second prophet is not inferior to that of the storm of the blade, but it is mainly reflected in the earthquake, and the direct damage is far inferior. However, the powerful ability to change the state of the natural world with one's own strength can only be achieved by at least a sixth-level war spell, and such a powerful spell can only be cast by a silver powerhouse under normal circumstances.
Therefore, Donald was very inclined to this kind of war spell that caused large-scale catastrophic destruction, because it was not only best suited to dealing with hordes of enemies, but also gave him a taste of the god-like control of life and death.
After considering several similar ultimate, Donald abandoned the Moon Priestess's Falling Stars and the Flame Lord's Volcanic Eruption in favor of Naga Sea Witch's Tornado Ultimate. @。
