Chapter 104: The Barbarian's Change
"Lord Baron is indeed powerful, but this time the barbarians are not easy to deal with!" Luo Sheng glanced at the dense fog outside and said with a sigh. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared with Eden, who does not understand the situation of the Golden Rank and can only guess the strength of Baron Cook based on the battle situation, Luo Sheng is still relatively clear about the true strength of Baron Cook. In the past, although Baron Cook was considered a leader in the Golden Rank, he was still slightly inferior to Marcia, who had a legendary inheritance. With Baron Cook's combat strength last year, dealing with three barbarian warriors of the same rank at the same time is already the limit, and if he wants to hit the other party hard, unless Baron Cook burns the source of his fighting qi desperately, he can't do it at all.
However, after the real cooperation with the Nine Rings White Tower, the situation has changed dramatically. Although the high-level spellcasters of the Nine-Ring White Tower did not directly participate in the battle against the barbarians in order to calculate the Holy See, they did provide Baron Cook with several powerful warrior equipment.
The profession of a warrior has a lot of factors that affect combat power, such as the level of one's physical attributes, the mastery of martial arts skills, the quality and quantity of fighting spirit, and the reaction and will when facing the enemy, all of which have a great impact on the combat power of a warrior. But in addition to the quality of these fighters themselves, the impact of equipment on the combat effectiveness of fighters is also extremely huge. Sometimes a powerful weapon, a sturdy piece of armor, or a special piece of magical equipment can give a warrior a huge boost.
In the past, although the equipment on Baron Cook's body was not bad, it was definitely not very good. Except for the Flame Fang, a fourth-order magic weapon, which is relatively good and is also very suitable for Baron Cook himself, the other equipment can only be regarded as decent. Not to mention that compared with a legendary-level master like Marcia, even compared to the clan chiefs of barbarians like Taimor, they are slightly inferior. It's just that Baron Cook's own attributes and combat skills are much stronger than those of Tymore and others, so this weakness is not reflected. In the real face of siege, this is actually a big loss.
However, after equipping the few pieces of equipment provided by the Nine Rings White Tower, Baron Cook's strength was not at the same level as before. Although the Nine-Ring White Tower was reluctant and did not dare to hand over the Legendary-level items to Baron Cook, he took out a few pieces of equipment that could allow the Gold-level warriors to exert their peak strength. Like the 'Throw of Fate' used by Baron Cook before, although it is only a copy of a legendary item, it can still greatly amplify the warrior's 'Heroic Throw' skill. Combined with Baron Cook's own strong strength, the combat power he exerts can definitely reach the limit of the Golden Rank.
To put it mildly, if Baron Cook at this stage is full of firepower and uses all the equipment power on his body, his combat power will even surpass that of Marcia, who does not use legendary items, and it is definitely the pinnacle of the Golden Rank. So even in the face of the siege of three gold-level barbarian warriors, Baron Cook was still able to deal with it calmly, and even had the opportunity to counterattack and inflict heavy damage on the opponent.
However, even though Baron Cook is amazing, Luo Sheng is still not optimistic about the current battle situation. With Baron Cook's strength, dealing with five Gold-tier enemies at the same time is already the limit. If the opponent's golden-tier shaman dared to take the risk of fighting, even the four golden-level shamans might be able to suppress Baron Cook. At this time, the barbarians gathered the six major clans, and the number of gold-level masters was close to ten. If the barbarians really come out, the defense of Snow Castle will probably be in jeopardy.
"I know you're worried, but it's not so easy for the barbarians to really unite. Eden glanced at the wolf smoke outside, and then restrained his smile, but still said with confidence.
The barbarians gathered so many forces, but they did not directly gather all their strength, and with a thunderous blow, they broke through the Snow Castle in one fell swoop, in addition to being afraid of Baron Cook's desperate counterattack, pulling some gold-level masters on their backs, and the magical defense measures of the Snow Dragon Pass may cause casualties among gold-level masters, there is also a more important reason, that is, the barbarians are not really very united within themselves.
Although they are collectively referred to as barbarians by all human countries, and even the major clans recognize each other's identities with each other, it does not mean that there are no contradictions between the major barbarian clans. In fact, in the bitter cold of the Northland, any survival resource is extremely valuable. In order to strengthen themselves, it is extremely common for major clans to attack surrounding clans by overt or covert means and compete for survival resources for themselves. Over a long period of time, the relationship between the major clans is basically similar to that of enemy countries. If it weren't for the suppression of the Holy Land and the Legendary Shaman above the major clans, I am afraid that they would have been killed on a large scale.
And even if there is high-level suppression, the major clans will not be merged on a large scale, but the contradictions between them are not few. In the face of such an external enemy as human countries, although the various clans of the barbarians can barely maintain a whole and fight together, it is basically impossible for them to cooperate sincerely and completely trust each other. Therefore, even if they knew that if they concentrated their full strength, it was possible for all the Gold-level masters to directly break through the Snow Castle, but the barbarians still used the traditional attrition tactics. Even if they join forces to attack, at least half of the masters will be left in the headquarters to prevent other clans from engaging in any conspiracy.
"Eden, I'm afraid you're thinking too optimistically, the situation of the barbarians has changed this time, although they haven't really united, at least it's not a mess. Without waiting for Rason to speak, Baron Cook, who had returned to the city wall, heard the conversation between the two and took over. "The three clans dispatched this time were originally not on good terms, and now they can send troops together, which shows that the initial integration has been completed within the barbarians. ”
Eden was slightly stunned, and after thinking carefully about the situation of the various clans besieging the city this time, his face became a little ugly.
Although the barbarians also organized joint sieges in the past, the clans dispatched at that time were basically separated from each other in their control areas, and there were not too many grudges against each other. Such clans can feel a little more at ease with each other, so that they don't have to worry about being betrayed by their companions on the battlefield.
And the three clans of Frost, Glacier, and Snow Cliff that are fighting today are themselves well-known for their mutual hatred, and they will never join forces in the past. Even if they are forced to act together, they will basically calculate and betray each other on the battlefield, and there is basically no tacit understanding when fighting.
But in today's battle, although the elite troops are still combined in clans and are not really mixed together, there is not much mutual dismantling between the various squads, and even between different clans, they will cooperate with each other a little and cover each other. And the chiefs of the three major clans also united in the face of Baron Cook. All this shows that the barbarians are no longer as scattered as before, but there are signs of cohesion.
"Is it the legendary shaman Gurel from the Barbarian Holy Land?" Eden asked with some panic thinking of the sight that the barbarians might attack the city with all their might.
The social organization of the barbarians is based on the clan as the basic unit, and each small and medium-sized tribe survives alone in peacetime, and is led by eight major clans in wartime to form eight powerful troops.
However, the relationship between the eight clans is equal, and they do not belong to each other, and no one can command anyone. This is also the main reason why barbarians have always been considered a mess of sand.
The only one who can command the eight major clans, integrate the power of the barbarians, and condense them into a rope is the legendary shaman located in the shaman holy land, the true guardian of the barbarians of the Northlands. So after discovering that the barbarians were beginning to become united, Eden's first thought was the legendary shaman.
"Of course it can't be. The continental peace agreement is not so binding. And if that legendary shaman really came out of the Holy Land, I am afraid it will be difficult to return alive. Baron Cook said, shaking his head.
Compared with the more powerful races of humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, and even goblins, although the place occupied by the barbarians is not small, they are basically the lowest races in the Imir continent in terms of population and high-end strength. In the entire barbarian, there is only one Legendary Shaman in charge. And this is also the main reason why the two not very powerful human kingdoms of Elson and Durin Sect can resist the barbarian invasion to the death. Compared to other alien races, barbarians can only be regarded as a plague of scabies for the human race as a whole.
However, although the barbarians can be regarded as a scabies, if there is a chance, the human high-level will definitely not mind taking action to solve this external problem. The legendary shamans of the barbarians are guarded in their holy land, and they can exert the power of high-level legends, and can even threaten the weaker immortal ranks, so no one goes to trouble. But if he walks out of the Holy Land openly, whether it is the Holy See of Light, the Human Kingdom Alliance, or the Nine Rings White Tower, he will find an opportunity to deal with the guardian of this barbarian, and then dismember the barbarian race.
"Then why were the barbarians able to suppress their hatred and begin to unite?" Eden asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I'm afraid it's because the heir of the legendary rank shaman Gurel, the Great Shaman Parek, has arrived. Baron Cook looked at the west and said with a solemn expression.
Although the heritage of the barbarians is not strong, they can be passed down for thousands of years, and they also have their uniqueness. Especially in the inheritance of guardian power, the barbarian shaman has an advantage that is difficult for other forces to match, that is, after the death of the old legendary shaman, the successor of the legendary shaman, who is called the great shaman by the barbarians, can be directly promoted to the legend through special rituals.
So in history, no matter how dangerous the barbarians were, they never lacked the protection of legendary shamans. And this is also an important reason why the barbarians have been able to survive countless turmoil and inherit it to this day.
And because of this special way of inheritance, the great shaman of the barbarians has an extremely special status in the entire race of barbarians. Although it is not as one-of-a-kind as a legendary shaman, it also has a high prestige among various clans. With very few legendary shamans, the Great Shaman is basically equal to the coordinator of the entire race of barbarians. Therefore, if the great shaman comes forward, it is indeed possible to initially unite the barbarian clan.
"Let's not talk about the barbarians, Alyssa, how are our casualties this time?"
