Chapter Ninety-Seven: Departure and Dressing

(Thank you for the rewards of the Firmament Egret, Mystery Shade, and Imisery, and thank you to the Purple Blood Demon Emperor, 98321, ck1234, o~ye~ for the monthly passes!)

"Lord Lord" "Lord Baron!"

Although all the people present were some unruly mercenaries and adventurers, they were all civilians, and when they saw a noble lord like Donald and a powerful mage, they couldn't help but give up their pride and humble salutes compared to ordinary people.

In front of everyone, Donald said mildly but in the demeanor of a strong man:

"Thank you valiant warriors for coming to Dalaran to help me and my people deal with the threat of those ogre monsters! As Lord of Dalaran, I am very grateful for the kindness you have brought, so before I set out, the conditions promised in the bounty will now be distributed to you as a reward for the early mission. ”

As he spoke, William, the administrative officer, ordered a team of attendants to bring up a tray of crystal bottles, which naturally contained the alchemical potion that Donald had promised in the bounty earlier.

Just listen to Donald's introduction:

"These three potions are purification potions, life potions, and recovery potions!"

"The purification potion can get rid of negative states such as curses, restore mental power, needless to say, life potion, everyone knows the effect, as for the recovery potion, it is a combination of the effect of life potion and magic potion, which can restore life and magic power in all aspects, and it has a great effect on warriors and mages. ”

As an early reward for these dozens of adventurers and two teams of mercenaries, of course, Donald would not come up with any high-grade precious potions, all of which were the most basic small purification potions and small recovery potions in the Book of Truth, etc. It cost less than 800 gold soles to exchange these more than 200 bottles of potion.

But for these adventurers and mercenaries who had little contact with alchemy potions, they were amazed at this amount of money when they saw so many expensive potions in front of them.

Sure enough, it was a powerful bronze mage, and they were usually reluctant to spend money to buy a bottle of alchemy potion when they were injured, and they distributed it like boiled water.

In the consciousness of most adventurers, with these three vials of elixir, this mission is already worth the ticket price.

"You can fight for my Dara, as a lord, naturally you can't help but say, these potions are for the purpose of preventing everyone from getting hurt, once you are injured in the battle, please don't be stingy with these potions, even if you take them, after winning the battle, I will sell these three potions and other alchemy spell products to the warriors present at the cost price!"

Donald's release of these words made these adventurers and mercenaries even more happy. For some older adventurers, being able to buy some potions at cost price, as long as they resell them, will be exchanged for a large sum of gold soles, enough for them to buy a family property, can retire home and live a prosperous life, no longer have to live this life of coming and going in the wind and rain, licking blood on the knife, and fighting for their lives every day.

For the more disciplined mercenary squad, the first thing that comes to mind is to buy more potions for the regiment to carry out important tasks in the future, and at critical moments, they may save the lives of many brothers because of these potions.

With Donald's pre-battle mobilization, the adventurers present were in high spirits, and they couldn't wait to rush out immediately to fight the ogre.

No more impressionable than the adventurers, the two teams of mercenaries were much calmer, and although they were essentially no different from those adventurers who fought for money, their training and experience taught them that it was necessary to remain calm in battle, and to be able to save their lives was the ultimate victory. So they won't get carried away by a little benefit in front of them.

"Lord Baron, can you tell us about the enemy?"

The two mercenary captains came to Donald in unison, although they were rivals, but for the safety of their own teammates, the two had to put aside their prejudices for a while and asked Donald together.

Donald smiled appreciatively and replied:

"There are quite a few ogres, there are at least fifty of them in this tribe, and thirty of them are adult males!"

When the two mercenary captains heard this, their faces immediately turned ugly.

The captain of the North Wind Mercenary Regiment said on the spot: "Lord Baron, your mission didn't say that there are so many ogres, this is simply going to die!"

The captain of the Bloodstone Mercenary Regiment also said angrily: "Yes, I won't let my brothers die in vain, we won't accept this task!"

Donald didn't get angry when he heard this.

"Only these people naturally can't confront an ogre tribe head-on, but I've never thought of talking about chivalry with those man-eating monsters, no matter what the method, as long as I can destroy them!"

When the two captains heard this, their faces softened, and then they apologized to Donald in unison.

"You don't have to care, and I didn't explain it beforehand. We'll have to wait for a helper, and we'll be on our way when we arrive!"

As he was talking, he heard a cold voice in the air say:

"Don't wait, I'm already here, you can announce your departure!"

I saw Master Chris, dressed in gray mage robes, slowly descending from the sky and landing on the square.

The mages who can perform flying spells are at least bronze mages in the eyes of adventurers, and counting Donald and his men, there are now six mages in the team, three of whom are also powerful bronze mages, which can't help but make them feel great confidence in this mission.

"Master Chris, thank you so much for helping!"

Donald immediately greeted him and said.

"Don't thank me, I just want an ogre or two to use for research!"

Donald naturally won't take this mage's words seriously, people can come to help, or it depends on his teacher's friendship, Chris, the three bronze peak mages in the club, can be regarded as Donald's half of the senior brother, for him, the little junior brother has taken care of him many times, and these feelings Donald has kept it in his heart. There will be something to pay off in the future.

Donald didn't want to owe too much to the mages in the clubhouse, otherwise this ogre tribe, as long as he summoned twenty or thirty mages, it would not be a problem to solve it head-on. Accepting the help of Master Chris is because of a special relationship, he has already helped himself a few times, and he doesn't care about owing some more favors, for the help of teachers Messer and Chris, how to repay him, he already has some ideas, but he has not had time to do it yet.

When the men were ready, Donald didn't wait long, and announced that the team would leave immediately.

The adventurers, who couldn't wait, rushed forward excitedly, roaring loudly in the direction of the forest outside the town. The two teams of mercenaries followed, and finally there were eight men led by Donald, two bronze powerhouses of Uther and Kael'thas , three mages such as Murray, and three infantry fighters such as Clinton, George, and Bush. Mage Chris, who joined later, also walked with them. There were also two griffons hovering overhead.

That's all the strength of this mission.

The monsters of the Moonlight Glade had long been cleared by the members of the hunting party, and the border was defended by Donald, so there were only a few gentle beasts living here, so the party traveled through the Moonlight Glade without any hindrance to the depths of the Green Cloak Forest.

Two griffons with Donald led the way in the air ahead, and even in the dangerous Green Cloak Forest, the team was not attacked by monsters. The coercion of the griffin fifth-level demonic beasts is enough to make most low-level demonic beasts retreat far away, even if they enter the territory of the fifth-level and above high-level demonic beasts, and see that Donald and the others are outnumbered, they will choose to temporarily retreat, and will not cause meaningless disputes.

A few hours later, Donald and dozens of people arrived in front of the valley of the ogre's lair that they had observed.

"Guys, we're here, and there's the ogre's lair ahead!"

Donald said loudly, pointing to the hidden valley.

Everyone who was notified was alert and ready to fight.

Originally, Donald's plan was to release a few summoned creatures to break into the ogre's lair to harass them, and then lure them out of the valley, blocking the exit and not letting one go, and destroying the monsters in batches.

But this time Donald looked closely, but found that there was a hidden exit behind the valley, so the previous plan could not be implemented, his plan was to completely destroy this ogre tribe, if they escaped a few, a few years later, it would develop into a new ogre tribe, which would be another threat to Dalaran!

So Donald prepared to use his backup plan.

And he stood on a rock, and gave orders to the people.

"I'm in charge of luring the ogres out, and using spells to make at least half of the ogres ineffective, you guys will cooperate with my actions in a while, and strive to uproot this ogre tribe, now when I change my clothes, start attacking as planned!"

The first words are relatively normal, but the latter words make everyone feel incomprehensible.

How could this lord still have the heart to change his clothes? Is this a quirk of some nobles?

But when the newly dressed Donald appeared in front of everyone again, everyone no longer thought so, but couldn't help but marvel.

The young mage was wearing a delicate circular crown made of silver, with a turquoise gem inlaid on the front, and the aristocratic hunting costume on his body had been replaced by a white mage robe, and the outer part was covered with a magic cloak that constantly emitted dark green flames.

Looking at the ornaments hanging on the body of this lord of Dalaran, as well as the two rings he wears, they are also extremely valuable spell equipment, and there is an unknown potion bottle and two eagle-shaped wands stuck in his belt.

This is a piece of equipment prepared by Donald for his backup plan, in which the noble ring on the head can improve his perception and strength in an all-round way, the energy pendant worn on the body, the magic pendant, and the philosopher's stone are all equipment to restore magic and increase the upper limit of magic power, the guardian ring and the white crystal ring are originally there, and the waist is inserted with magic potions, large magic potions and recovery potions, as well as magic scrolls and recovery scrolls.

As for the Flame Cloak on the outside, similar to his Demon Hunter's Sacrifice ability, the Wearer is surrounded by flames and is immune to normal fire elemental attacks, dealing continuous scorch damage to enemy ground forces around him, but this equipment cannot be used at the same time as Sacrifice. However, the sacrificial ability has to consume its own mana all the time, but the effect brought by the flame cloak does not need to be consumed at all, and the core of the magic circle in its own equipment transforms the external fire element to obtain a steady stream of energy replenishment.

Therefore, Donald spent a lot of energy to exchange this legendary spell equipment that had reached the primary legendary level to enhance his own protective security.

Of course, although the effect of the Flame Cloak is long-lasting, it is not permanent at all, and its ability cannot be repeated in a day, nor can it last for more than six hours.

But this time is enough, and it is not a war like tens of thousands of people, most of the real battles end in a short time, even if this ogre tribe is eliminated, Donald estimates that it should be able to do it in an hour and a half, and the rest of the time is mostly used to clean up the battlefield.
