343 Ice Demon Strikes Back
Anubir's gray face went from a calm and expressionless face at the beginning to an irrepressible angry expression at the back.
At this time, Anubir slapped the frozen table in front of him, and in an instant, the ice table became a fragment, and at the same time, some of their strong ice demons also began to be extremely angry, and they communicated in a low roaring voice.
After hearing these roars, Anubir also responded to them, only to see that the expressions on the faces of these strong ice demons changed from anger to excitement at the beginning, and then walked out of the cave one by one, and began to gather the ice demon soldiers in this village, preparing for a counterattack with Storm Castle.
On the other side, Duke, under the protection of the new storm guardian Dole, led the storm guards, which had expanded to a size of 100 people, to an ice demon village. The size of the previous storm guard team of more than a dozen people is too small for the current Duke, and it may not even be possible to guarantee Duke's safety in some dangerous situations.
Therefore, this time the Storm Army has expanded, and Duke's Storm Guardian Team has also been officially expanded, upgraded to the size of a 100-person Guardian Team, and will be built into a professional escort team, not drawn from the Storm Army as before. At the same time, the guards in the castle have also been transferred from the previous Storm Army to the Storm Guards full-time defense.
What's more important is that Dole's own strength has reached the strength of a high-level swordsman, that is, he can release his sword qi. After all, in the future, Duke will become more and more powerful when he comes into contact with the enemy, and at least a high-level swordsman level guard is needed to ensure Duke's basic safety.
At the same time, with the previous Allen and Cassel completely teaching the experience and exercises of cultivating Dou Qi, there were more and more fighters in the Storm Army who attacked the high-level swordsmen. According to Allen's estimates, in the future, there will be more than a dozen people in the Storm Army who have reached the strength of high-level swordsmen, excluding a few old men.
You must know that in the eyes of the outside world, Storm Castle is still just a small viscount territory, which is a small territory on the continent of Europa. But with nearly twenty high-level swordsmen, this is simply unthinkable for other territories.
Even according to Allen's estimate, Fei Duo is very likely to reach the strength of the Great Sword Master, because Fei Duo is a declining nobleman, his previous family martial arts foundation is really good, plus he is also very young and talented, and after entering the army, he also has combat experience that other high-level swordsmen of martial arts academies do not have.
The Great Swordsman and the High-level Swordsman, just like the difference between the High-level Mage and the Magi, this is not a level gap, but a qualitative gap. If Fei Duo can break through to become a great sword master in the future, then the strength of Storm Castle will be even higher, and it will be a terrifying thing to think about with the viscount territory of the mage master and the great sword master.
Duke looked at the ruined Ice Demon Village in front of him, smelling the smell of gunpowder in the air that had not completely dissipated, but his heart was not as happy as he imagined. For it was evident from here that there were some corpses with feminine and child features, just like the women and girls in the human race, and those who had the slightest pity would not be very happy.
But Duke also doesn't have the mercy of women, he knows that this is war, and if he doesn't contribute to the Ice Demon Village today, then the future may be the scene of the fall of Storm Castle, and the Ice Demon will not show mercy to women and children.
At the same time, Duke also found that the layout of the village here is basically some wooden houses. Although most of the houses are made of wood, they are not like these shacks. It can also be seen from this point that although the ice demon is converted from humans, and even intelligent creatures, in fact, the IQ is still much lower than that of humans, and the degree of use of tools and civilization is far inferior to that of humans.
Maybe this also has something to do with the strong physique of the Ice Devils, after all, even if they don't have a house, they don't have to worry about the cold of winter.
"Lord Lord, this is the first time we have seen the appearance of the Ice Demon Child, and we can't imagine their magic conversion ritual, nor do they directly transform the child into an adult. ”
Alan said to Duke in a surprised tone, although the Ice Demon is already famous in the French Empire, but seriously speaking, this is the first time that the French Empire's army has captured the Ice Demon's village, and naturally it is the first time to see their children.
"When it is impossible to become an adult directly, no matter how you say it, you must also follow the law of conservation of energy, otherwise it will be too unscientific!"
Duke replied casually, in fact, this question had been thinking about it in his heart for a long time before, that is, how did these ice demons survive in the Valley of Monsters. How can it be said that in modern society, the law of conservation of energy is simply the law of the universe, can it be said that this world can still break the law of conservation of energy, and ice demons can generate magical power out of thin air?
Even if it is to absorb the magical energy in the air, it may be in short supply for the action power of the Ice Demon, right? With the Storm Army now attacked, Duke finally understood all this, the Ice Demon does not generate energy out of thin air, they also need supplies, that is, from the Demon Beasts and Magic Crystals in the Monster Valley.
And the babies they plundered humans did not directly become ice demon warriors, but grew up in this kind of ice demon village. As for whether the growth rate is the same as that of humans, this Duke is unknown. However, judging from the number and age of the Ice Demon children in the village, they should grow up far faster than humans.
To be honest, this kind of magical energy is really magical, before Duke just wanted to be an existence similar to electrical energy, but from the previous Vesalius anatomy results, magic energy still has the effect of biological energy on the ice demon, and even whether the ice demon is still a carbon-based life, Duke is curious, but this world has no conditions to study these, I hope that after the progress of science and technology in the future, it can open the mysterious door unknown to this magical world.
Just when Duke was curious about the various observations of the Ice Demon Village, the leader of the Storm Army's War Sheep Cavalry, Tan Huo, rode a majestic wild boar over. Like the hammer before, the dwarven tribal leader level characters are not riding war sheep anymore, but this mutated wild boar.
This war pig has the same exaggerated tusks as an elephant, and its body is also very strong, almost like a rhinoceros, and it is considered the top and most powerful monster mount in the dwarf tribe.
Charcoal Fire jumped off the war pig and came to Duke and said respectfully: "Lord Lord, the scout cavalry has received the news, and the ice demons in various villages have begun to assemble, and they have begun to prepare for a counterattack!"
