The troubadour took it excitedly, then solemnly placed the badge on the table, closed his eyes solemnly, and muttered for a while, and Tuga could only hear one word: "light". The originally vague pattern in the middle of the badge suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, turning into the figure of a dragon in mid-air...... This magical scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern, and Tuga was the first to react, and quickly grabbed it, who knew that the pattern was as hot as a soldering iron, and Tuga's palm rattled. For a moment, Tuga felt as if he was suddenly in a ray of light, and he didn't feel any pain in his palm, and then a dragon appeared in the void in front of him, talking to him.
The people outside saw a different situation, they just saw Tuga put his hand on the badge and didn't move, and then his body began to glow, and his eyes were extremely sacred. The timid burghers had even begun to worship, the mercenaries drew their weapons and retreated far away, the bookseller was stunned at first, then took out a large book out of nowhere, and kept flipping through it, and the troubadour looked at Tuga with complicated eyes, and then disappeared. The swarthy man, who was indifferent to everything, looked at Tuga thoughtfully......
When the dazzling light ended, Tuga opened his eyes, raised his palm and looked at it, and sure enough, he was imprinted with the image of a radiant dragon. Looking at the emblem that was as shiny as it was reborn, Tuga incorporated it into dimensional space. He turned around and said, "The ......," only to realize that the troubadour was gone, and Tuga's words came to an abrupt end.
At this time, an excited roar came from the front: "Haha, I found it, the golden badge painted with the Radiant Dragon!" The bookseller's voice became smaller ......and smaller, and the cold sweat on his face became more and more serious, and after a while, he closed the book in horror, quietly glanced at Tuga, and hurriedly ran away.
Tuga shrugged and smiled, then turned back to pick up his glass and drank slowly. Looking at the gold coins in the stands, Tuga's heart moved, and he said loudly: "Boss, I want to invite everyone here to have a drink, the money is here." After the conversation he stood up and greeted the crowd, and the people were silent for a moment, and then began to cheer, and a group of citizens had been drinking about the same, and then they poured it down one by one, and one by one they actually danced, and Tuga saw this, shook his head and smiled, turned around and sat down in front of the bar, and continued to drink. Unexpectedly, a drunken guy squeezed over and said to him, "You know, there has always been a legend in my hometown of Eledaigus, uh, hiccup, there is a ...... there" Tuga just smiled as drunk at first, but slowly his face became serious, and then the knowledgeable proprietress interjected and said a few words......
The next day, Tuga, who learned the mystery of the hero's badge, could not send a message to Harlaus, who was close at hand, and led the team straight to Al Degg early in the morning. It happened to escape a group of elite people called by the bookseller, and by the time they found Tuga's accommodation, there was no one for a long time.
At this time, Tuga was also a little anxious, dense forests, endless cold arrows. Fortunately, Tuga's sense of direction was first-class, and Mama Tea could also help a lot, and everyone slowly but firmly approached Eledegar. The trees in front of them seemed to be starting to thin out a bit, and it was indeed a little depressing to stay in the dense forest where they couldn't see the sky, and just as everyone walked to the open area to breathe a sigh of relief, a large number of arrows rained down.
The crowd fled in a hurry, hiding behind the trees. "Head, there are a large number of bandits gathered in front, not to mention four squads, and I don't know how many more are coming in the future. Mama Tea went out to observe and came back and said.
"Well, it seems that the enemy is not stupid, I suspect that those cold arrows are trying to drive us in this direction, how far are we from Al Deig?" said Tuga as he shot the enemy.
"It's close, but we're not familiar with the terrain, so if we concentrate on it, we'll be surrounded, and if we disperse, it's easy to be scattered. Mama Tea said.
Tuga thought for a while and said: "No, jungle combat is the opponent's strong point, we can't fight them everywhere on the slopes and trees, sometimes the place that seems to be a dead end happens to be where our advantage lies, the whole army gathers and rushes to the open field, the infantry is outside, the shooters are inside, just pay attention to keep the shape." As I have just seen, most of the enemy's weapons are very rudimentary, and it is difficult to shoot through our 'regular army equipment'. I'm going to harass alone, you take the direction, and I'm sure we'll be to Al Deg soon. ”
Sein looked at Tuga quietly, Tuga nodded to her, and she reluctantly followed Jamila and the others to start the march. Tuga gathered his equipment and mounted his horse and circled around the enemy's right side.
Some bandits were easily dealt with, and in the distance, Tuga's subordinates had already started hand-to-hand combat with the bandits. Although judging from the current battle situation, hand-to-hand combat still has the advantage, but he knows that he must deal with the enemy's long-range troops as soon as possible, otherwise, once he can't pass quickly, the enemy's follow-up reinforcements will continue to increase, and if the battle situation is stalemate, even if he wins in the end, he will suffer heavy casualties.
Fortunately, the artifact is in hand, and the rate of fire of the elven bow is almost twice that of a normal bow, especially the parabola of the arrow is almost straight, which is very easy for aiming. Tuga can even shoot enemies quickly with a half-open bow at will. The only thing that needs to be solved is the problem of line of sight, the terrain is too undulating, there are too many trees, and it is difficult to quickly lock on to the target. In desperation, Tuga had no choice but to take the risk of shooting at close quarters, narrowing the range to less than 100 meters. This range is very dangerous, it is easy to spot the opposite of the enemy, even the enemy is easy to find you, and secondly, the bow and arrow and throwing weapons that are rudimentary from the enemy can also exert a strong lethality, especially when attacked by the enemy.
After killing a dozen enemies quickly, Tuga had to shift, and relying on the vision provided by the gifted Eagle Eye, Tuga's flexible guerrilla came into play, and he was able to take on a bow squad alone. Of course, injuries are inevitable, and after fighting in several places in a row, although he himself only suffered some scratch injuries, the horse was hit by a few arrows, but fortunately, the vest was well protected and was not fatally injured. There was almost a one-sided slaughter on the frontal battlefield, the enemy's morale was plummeting, and some deserters had already appeared.
After repelling several waves of bandits on and off, the enemy finally gave up and came to Al Deig, where Tuga first visited the village chief, chatted with the old man, and after stuffing a few dinars, he finally obtained some useful information, and immediately began to mobilize his men and horses to search for suspicious places near the village. After a brief search in the vicinity of Al Deig to no avail, Tuga shifted his focus to the village, and after a few days of careful searching, Tuga decided to expand the area, eventually finding a half-collapsed hole on the slope of a hill behind two hills to the east of the village. After cleaning up for a long time, I finally sorted out a passage that could accommodate one person to enter. At first, Tuga planned to send a few soldiers to explore the way, but who expected that none of the people who went down would come back, and finally asked someone to tie a rope to go down, and after pulling it back, he was already unconscious, and poured a little water on it, and the tied soldiers came to their senses and told them that all the people below had passed out inside.
Tuga thought for a while and said: "It should be poisoned, there is a lot of poisonous gas in the perennial unventilated underground passage, go get some charcoal." Soon Mama Cha got some charcoal in the village.
Tuga said: "Smash the charcoal as much as possible to get out the powder, and then wrap it in a cloth, remember to spread the charcoal powder, sew the edges well, yes, fold it a few times, well, this thickness is good, now wet the surroundings, cover your mouth and try it, can you breathe?"
Mama Tea tried it and said, "It's too thick, it's hard to breathe." ”
"Just be able to breathe, now you tie him to the mouth and nose with a rope, remember not to leave gaps, yes, this tic-tac-toe binding method is good, speed, you immediately take the rope down now, tie up the people below, if you feel dizzy, you pull the rope and go back quickly, if you can bear to tie the person and pull the rope three times, we will start pulling, you have to tie it up to see if anyone is stuck. After Tuga finished speaking, he double-checked it again.
Mama Tea lived up to the trust and pulled people out, but fortunately, the time was short and there were no dead people. Tuga finally put on a makeshift mask and went down to look at himself, and Sein tried to follow, but Tuga refused. Not far from the tunnel, Tuga found some corpses, some of them were wearing good equipment, at the end of the tunnel he found a stone door, but he didn't find the mechanism to open it for a long time, at this time the tunnel suddenly shook slightly, and some stones fell on his head, although Tuga dodged, but unfortunately scraped his nose and took off half of the mask. In a panic, he accidentally inhaled a few puffs of gas from outside.
Afraid that he would faint after being poisoned and collapse again, Tuga quickly held his breath and ran back, but the distance was too far, and he urgently needed to breathe, but he had to hold his breath desperately. Suddenly, there was a roar in his head, his mind became extremely clear, he actually completed the ventilation without external breathing! Yes, in this emergency situation, he completed an unprecedented internal breath, but the only consciousness he had now was running out......
Running out of the hole, Tuga breathed a sigh of relief, and then he began to realize that he seemed to have breathed just now, but why didn't he have anything at all? Could it be that Tuga raised his hand to stop Thein who came to ask, and he pulled on his mask and re-entered the hole.
He slowly walked to where the soldier had fallen, then quietly pulled down his mask and breathed a little air into it, a musty smell. He moved forward a little more, took a breath, the musty smell was more earthy dust, but there was still no abnormal reaction, he slowly inhaled deeply, and finally felt a little nauseous when he was halfway through the inhalation, and then began to feel a little dizzy. He felt like he put the mask on, but the feeling of nausea and dizziness did not go away, but tended to intensify, and he quickly turned around and walked back, and when he reached the entrance of the cave, he was already slightly shaky.
Finding a place to sit down, Tuga drank some water, and after about a quarter of an hour, he finally recovered. He thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out why he wasn't poisoned the first time, when an idea suddenly popped into his head to burn the gas with fire, which made him feel a little scared. Because lately, he often has some inexplicable thoughts, and even consciously verifies him, although it is very effective every time, but the content that appears this time contains a lot of things that he doesn't understand at all. (Scientific knowledge, gas nouns are too advanced for these aborigines)
