CHAPTER XXXVIII
Defeating the ogre camp is naturally extremely dangerous, but the benefits are also great. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The mere fact that he was able to rule firmly was already a great reward, not to mention that ogres often had a lot of collections, and what the dragons didn't look up to was not necessarily worthless to Baron Dahl.
Moreover, if you can capture ogres alive, whether you train them to become soldiers or sell them, you can bring great benefits.
If it is the former, as long as there are two or three tame ogre soldiers, Baron Dahl will dare to attack the other lords in the surrounding area and expand his sphere of influence, while if it is the latter, at least he can get a large amount of money, and it is more likely that he will take this opportunity to connect with some forces that he has long wanted to have a good relationship with.
Even if the ogres are dead, the dead ogres are just as valuable. Many parts of their bodies are good materials, especially the famous "Ogre Gauntlet", which can make ordinary people greatly increase their strength and become humanoid beasts.
Baron Dahl remembers that his newly hired consultant mage was a man who knew the art of alchemy and enchantment. If there are enough ogre materials for him to join forces, it will not be a problem to make such a few pairs of ogre gloves out.
This kind of treasure that can immediately enhance its strength is very good, whether it is kept for personal use or sold for money.
As for the danger, he had also considered it, but after all, the group of ogres had been robbed by the dragon, and even the shaman had died, even if there was some danger, it was not impossible to take it.
Thinking of this, he made up his mind.
Of course, he will never go up the mountain this time, and no matter what the victory or defeat of the crusade is, he must not be in danger himself.
For this reason, he made a heavy promise that if the crusade was successful, no matter how much the profit was, seventy percent of it would belong to the expedition team that went up the mountain. And even if the crusade fails, he will take a large sum out of his property and pay him.
Pension or something, but he didn't say a word.
It's not that he is reluctant to pay a pension, but he knows that at this time, he can only mention benefits, not risks, and he must fool everyone into red-eyed hearts in order to get this done.
As for whether there will be deaths, how many people will die? At this point, he didn't care.
As long as it's not you who dies!
Now that Baron Dahl had made up his mind, the knights, after some discussion, agreed with him.
Regardless, the crusade against ogres is always a remarkable achievement, enough to boast about for many years. And even a group of waste firewood that had just been robbed by a giant dragon didn't dare to provoke it, so what kind of face did they have to ride a high-headed horse to swagger through the city? Go home as soon as possible and take your wife and children!
Not to mention, this adventure has quite a lot of rewards and it's worth it!
The priests of the Church of the Void Mask didn't even hesitate, for them, as long as there was enough hope, it was a matter of course to fight evil and eradicate demons. As the saying goes, I'm a soldier and you're a thief, so why do you have to think about it so much!
As for whether this will benefit Baron Dahl, no matter how bad Baron Dahl is, he is still a human being, a lord, and at least he has to bear the basic responsibilities of the lord - such as sweeping away the demons in the territory or something. Unless the brain is in water, such as the Virgin Bai Zuo of the world Europe before Sui Xiong crossed, who would think that the monster is more credible than human?
The decent are all bad guys, but the devil is very righteous, it's an unconventional romantic story, and it can't be true!
However, they are also discussing, not whether to fight this battle, but how to fight.
According to the Kabbalah priest's opinion, it was best to carry the altar up the mountain, and of course he himself had to go with him, so that he could use his hole cards at the critical moment. But the people did not agree, and they opposed it together.
It wasn't that they hated the hard work of carrying the altar up the mountain—it was made of wood, and it wasn't too heavy for a mid-ranking paladin who could drag a bull down a tiger, but they wouldn't let the Kabbalah priest go with them.
The sword has no eyes, especially if the opponent is a dangerous ogre, what if something happens to the priest!
The two sides argued for a while, and finally the Kabbalah priest relied on his high status to subdue everyone and settle the matter.
So they went up the hill together, and slowly walked along the steep mountain road to the ogre's camp.
The camp was indeed a mess, and the ogres had just put the bodies of the dead in order, and one by one they were lying there, before even the funeral had taken place. And the sentinels can't talk about anything - the two sentinels were directly knocked down the cliff by the dragon, and even if they didn't die, they are still slowly struggling at the bottom of the mountain, how can they come back?
Speaking of which, the Raiders came at the right time. Many of the ogres were sent straight out of the cliff during the battle with the dragon, and at this moment a few sturdy young ogres were descending the steep hillside, trying to find out if they had escaped. In addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, only a few wounded people remained in the camp.
However, it was these few wounded who also caused great trouble for the raiding team.
A group of guys who can fight the dragon and then stay alive are not so easy to deal with!
Each of these wounded has advanced, the weakest is also the Ogre Warrior - this is enough to defeat most of the adventurers who have not stepped into the middle level one-on-one, the second rank is the Ogre Elite - if they are not injured, a mid-level paladin will have a 70% chance of winning against them, and there is even a two-headed ogre.
Oh, the "former" two-headed ogre.
For one of its heads had been torn off by the dragon's claws.
Fortunately, it has lost a head, otherwise, when the crusade team encounters it, I really don't know if it is here to subdue demons and subdue demons, or to deliver it to the door!
You must know that the strength rating of the two-headed ogre can barely rub into the "high-level" level.
This kind of guy can think separately from each other, and is extremely sharp when fighting, and what is even more terrifying is that one of its heads often becomes a warlock, in other words, when fighting, it is equivalent to an excellent warrior, and with the ability of a warlock who can cast spells at will at any time.
It's a foul, isn't it?
The head that the two-headed ogre lost was the one that the Warlock had lost. So he fell back to his original form from a dual-core superman who practiced both law and martial arts, and became a big man who was a little inflexible in walking.
Well, because of the lack of a head, it is not very suitable for its new state for the time being, and its movements are a little bumpy.
"Hopefully, it will learn its lesson in the next life, or just throw a good tire. After cutting it down, standing on its corpse, the bear-like paladin laughed, despite the severe wound to his left shoulder, which was almost crushed.
Soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because, the young ogres who went out to look for the people who fell off the cliff have returned.
The battle was so brutal that almost all of the paladins were mortally wounded, the priests ran out of mana, and one of the two rangers was crippled with a leg.
Luckily, this glorious victory was appreciated by His Majesty the Mask of the Void, who mercifully bestowed divine grace and restored all the injured to health.
Including those who do not believe in Him.
When the warm light was erected in the ogre camp like a pillar of light, the winter sweep of Dahl finally came to a triumphant end. (To be continued.) )
