Chapter 628: Strange Crystal

On the battlefield, the goblin orcs scattered and fled, and there was no chance to turn the tables. The victory of the human army is decided, and there is no need for the support of the two highnesses. Victor and Roland led the three high-ranking female knights of Gombis and dozens of guards to go directly to Maverick Village to capture the kobold leader.

Calf Village is located on a rocky plateau with a commanding view of the surrounding wilderness, and now it is more like a lair after the destructive alterations of goblins and kobolds. The walls and houses of the village were razed to the ground to make more room for more orcs, and the goblins used demolished wood and stone to build many low, winding walls to divide the area, with only 11 abandoned arrow towers and a few intact storehouses silently indicating that it was once a large human settlement.

Walking into the central area of the orc's lair, Victor found that it was unexpectedly clean, and the goblin tribe had the ability to collect feces and manure the land, but the orc's habit of defecating everywhere could not be changed, and the air was filled with a stench that ordinary people could not bear.

There were no ordinary people who assisted in the capture of the kobold leader, and the weakest of them, the Randall Junior Cadet Knight, would not be stunned by the smell. However, Caligula was bent on his waist and crept behind the low wall, and his vigilant appearance made people laugh.

Maverick Village originally had a large number of female goblins and goblin cubs, and when the goblins were defeated and fled, they all ran away, leaving only a few orcs lurking in the lair, mainly the kobold leader's fellow guards.

Some creatures are stronger than mighty, and dragons are a prime example of this. They may not be more powerful than the white ape or the hydra lizard, but their dragon power is like a substantial spiritual power that can oppress the minds of most creatures. Some classes in the Alchemy Tower have the talent of being immune to soul intimidation, such as Dragon Warriors and Savi Warriors. Victor guessed that among the enemies who invaded the Alchemy Empire were dragon-like beings, and used soul intimidation as a means of defeating the enemy. Ancient alchemists had to design combat units that were immune to soul intimidation.

From this, it can be reversed, the extraordinary nature of the dragon's might.

Legend has it that the dragon didn't know what to ride and gave birth to kobolds as his slaves. Anyway, in ancient texts, dragons have no discipline to speak of. In short, the kobold belong to the dragon vein wisdom species is undoubtedly confirmed, the dragon vein kobold people have a trace of dragon power, their feces can even frighten the sensitive and suspicious feline beasts, but their weak combat power and ferocious momentum are diametrically opposed.

The strength of the kobold is not small, and the strength of the dragon vein kobold is comparable to that of a beginner knight, but they have a ferocious physical fitness, but they do not have a violent mind, just like a blacksmith holding a Mithril Essence Gold Sword in his hand, or a blacksmith, it is impossible to exert the extraordinary characteristics of the Mithril Sword.

Caligula's mental instincts were sharper than those of the Spotted Tiger, and he felt the imperceptible dragon power from the smell, and became cautious, his huge body sneaking like a big cat, silent and ready to blow up at any time.

Aka is as timid as a mouse, but his skills are extraordinary, and he can beat ordinary dragon-veined kobolds with one hand. And the dragon vein kobold is aggressive, but his strength is average, isn't it just right to train Caligula?

Victor's heart moved, he jumped to the top of the low wall, closed his eyes, listened carefully for a moment, jumped back to the ground, called all the servants, and commanded:

"There are also 68 dragon-veined kobolds and about 200 small monsters in Maverick Village, and this lair has a difficult terrain, they are hidden in hidden corners and scattered locations. I want to capture all the Dragonvein kobolds alive and kill the goblins and kobolds...... Aka, you take 2 elite guards to the west, and you have to capture the dragon vein kobold alive with your own hands, at least 5. ”

The stupid big man and the two Gripen militiamen walked towards the west side of the village, but he still snuggled against the wall, and turned back in three steps, staring at Victor with a blank eye, hoping that his master could not bear to call him back again, which made the little squire knights snicker.

"Charlotte, you also go to the west, there are 22 dragon vein kobolds, be careful. Victor said, turning his head.

"Ahh......h As you wish, my master. ”

Charlotte, who had ear-length blonde hair, was stunned for a second, put away her gentle smile, and gave a knightly salute, chasing Caligula with three secretly excited little trainee knights.

Victor was a little uneasy and sent all 8 alchemy warriors over. Every naturally awakened knight is precious to the Randall family, and war can sharpen their will, establish a sense of honor, and strengthen their bond with their master. Victor gave them the opportunity to exercise, but also to minimize the risk of death or injury.

"Lord Earl, your thoughtfulness towards your Knights of Oath is truly enviable...... Caligula has a good workout, but he can be worthy of the status of His Highness. Scorly Joshua, the Knight of the Rags, smiled and teased Victor.

She was the aunt of Lady Caterina York, a knight of Augustus and a romantic knight.

With Caterina's relationship, Scorly was closer to Victor and teased the young Earl Golden-Eyed a lot. What she meant was that Charlotte Randall was not worthy of being the Knight of Oath of the Earl of Goldeneye, and that Caligula was about the same.

Charlotte took the Golden Elixir and had already resonated with 24 elemental slots, becoming a veteran knight of the bronze rank, when he swore that the knight was more than enough. It's just that the gold potion is very important, and the high-ranking knights of Joshua, Nime, and the Chebman family don't know about it.

Victor smiled, changed the subject, and said, "There are 13 dragon vein kobolds in the east, 13 in the south, 12 in the north, and 4 around the kobold leader. ”

A living dragon vein kobold can exchange with the church for 3 places to reshape the body, and no one will think that there are too many arcane warriors in the family.

Margaret was the first to say, "House Wellington, East." ”

"Leave the south ones to Joshua. ”

"Then we Nimes will have to choose the north. ”

"You guys go and help catch the kobolds, too. Roland instructed his servant knights, pointed to the storehouse in the center of the lair, and said with sparkling eyes, "Let's go over there and catch the kobold leader...... You don't have to do it, I'll catch it myself. ”

The knights and arcane warriors of each family dispersed, and Victor and the others walked towards the kobold leader's lair.

After all, Maverick Village is a large settlement with thousands of people, and the low walls built by goblins and kobolds are like a maze, and the warriors of the major families are scattered inside, and they can't see each other, let alone provide timely support.

The Randalls' guards could only form a long line between the narrow low walls, leaving room for tossing and turning. Brandon walked at the front of the line with a round shield inlaid with copper armor in one hand and a sharp pure gold sword in the other, his boots sliding gently across the ground.

Dragon-veined kobolds are not agile monsters, they are good at hunting prey by sneaking up and setting traps, and the complex low walls and obstacles in Maverick Village are no accident. Brandon is confident in his skills, but also firmly in mind Nelson's teachings:

You can't be careless even when facing a goblin...... Focus, vigilance, and unity can save your life, as well as your comrades.

Brandon volunteered to be the leader of the team, wanting to be the first apprentice knight to capture the Dragonvein Kobold, and he had to be more cautious.

Lady Nicole's quest to hunt down the old ogre as a trainee knight has always inspired Brandon.

Heroic knights should strive for their own glory!

Brandon ...... Brandon ......" The subtle call reached Brandon's ears.

...... Is it a stupid big guy?!

Brandon raised his long sword, signaled his companion behind him to stop, did not look back, and said coolly: "Say!"

Caligula crouched on the ground, followed closely behind Charlotte, and said softly, "Brandon...... Aka wants to tell you that there are kobold monsters...... Just in front, behind the wall on the left...... It looked at Brandon and wanted to eat Brandon's meat......"

"Leave it to me, I can handle it!"

Brandon didn't hide his movements, picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, turned his fighting spirit, and threw it at the low wall on the left side of the front.

The stone smashed a hole in the low wall, and Brandon's sword and shield intersected, and in a sonorous voice, he shouted, "Come out, monster! I will cut off your head, make a specimen of your own hands, and hang it on the wall of my room as a trophy!"

"Hmm...... The owner wants to live the dragon vein kobold. Klaus, the little knight, reminded him from behind.

"Uh...... I'm going to cut off your hands and feet, and sacrifice you to my master......" Brandon paused, turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Can't I keep its head? This is the first monster I've captured in my life." ”

"I want to warn you first that you only have a shield and a sword in your hand right now, and you haven't captured monsters. Klaus said quickly, "I think the master will agree that you can keep its tail." ”

"Oh my God! kobolds' tails are like rats' tails...... Well, it's better than nothing. Brandon muttered.

Suddenly, the low walls on both sides of the front collapsed and burst, and the flying rubble and wood brought up a sky full of dust, and a dozen extraordinarily strong kobolds blocked everyone's path.

The average kobold was about the size of a goblin, and the dragon vein kobold was three times their size, and their body was a circle thicker than that of an ordinary soldier. They crouched on the ground, slowly approaching forward, their muscles stretched under their gray fur, their abdomen and back covered with brown scales, their lizard-like heads, their yellow eyes, their mouths open to reveal their shiny fangs, and their mouths made barking dogs and spewed sparks and blue smoke.

Brandon's face changed drastically, and he screamed strangely, put on a defensive posture, and shouted, "One, two, three, four...... Eleven Dragon-veined Kobolds!Aka...... Didn't you say one?"

Caligula's aggrieved voice came from behind, "Brandon, I didn't hear Aka finish speaking. ”

"Brandon, Klaus, Jayne, stand back. Elite Guards and I ......" Charlotte drew her longsword and landed in front of Brandon with a light touch of her toe against the low wall.

The eleven dragon vein kobolds are all extremely powerful, and even if a veteran knight like her wants to capture so many monsters alive, it is very difficult for the trainee knight to protect himself.

"Madame, let's try. Klaus said with his sword in his hand, and his handsome face was written with determination and sincerity.

At this time, the alchemy warrior broke the low wall and surrounded it in a fan shape, confronting the dragon-vein kobold with teeth and claws. Charlotte hesitated slightly, stepped aside, and admonished, "Be careful, don't be pushy." ”

"Klaus, if you have any way to hurry up, Jayne and I will protect you. Brandon exclaimed.

When Jayne, the youngest midshipman, heard this, he puffed out his chest and stood guard with a shield in hand.

Klaus took two steps forward, stuck the adamantite longsword on the ground, untied the bulging money bag from his waist, took out a large handful of red copper sol, and spilled it to the left and right with all his strength.

The dragon vein kobold suddenly stopped approaching, his eyes chasing the copper coin that glittered in the sunlight, and he became visibly hesitant, as if he wanted to pick up the copper coin. They looked at each other, leaned back together, barking loudly and pressing forward.

"Klaus, what the hell is this idea? bribing monsters with copper coins?"

Brandon was so anxious that he was about to cry, but he still stayed by Klaus's side.

Klaus picked up the sword and danced nervously, hesitating to think: Is the knowledge imparted by the priest of the general education school wrong......? How can monsters be bought with human coins......? It's stupid.

"Stand back, Elite Guard, throw me the hammer. ”

Charlotte dropped her sword and shield, and caught the iron hammer thrown by the alchemy warrior with one hand, and the dragon vein kobolds formed a tight formation, and it became very dangerous to cut off their legs and feet with the long sword, and now they were smashed apart with only heavy weapons, and it was probably impossible to capture them all alive.

Klaus obeyed the order and retreated in frustration, but Brandon stayed where he was, refusing to move, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the stupid big man probing his brain.

Strange to say, after Klaus threw the copper coin, Caligula, who had been walking in a cat's waist, stood up straight and curiously leaned forward to observe the dragon vein kobold.

Brandon's mind flashed to the side, and he shouted, "Aka, scare them!"

Scare? Aka is the best at scaring people...... Like a giant, Caligula held his head high, carrying his majestic two-handed hammer, strode to the front, and yelled at the dragon-vein kobold.

"Ahh

The sound was like rolling thunder, spreading throughout the cow village, and all the goblins hiding in hidden corners were shaken out. The approaching dragon vein kobolds scattered in fright, but the direction they ran was where there were copper coins on the left and right.

Brandon's eyes were quick, and he caught up with the dragon-veined kobold behind him with an arrow, and the shield smashed heavily on the back of its head, slapping it directly on the ground, and then stepped on its head with one foot, and slashed off the kobold's limbs with a swing of the adamantite long sword, and the whole action was done in one go, cleanly.

"Haha, I was the first to catch the dragon vein kobold!"

Brandon laughed happily, took out the tendon with his hands and feet, and asked while binding the mouth of the dragon-vein kobold, "Klaus, how did you come up with the idea?"

Klaus glanced at Caligula thoughtfully, and said, "Before I came, I went to ask the priest of the general education school about some knowledge about monsters...... Although they teach monster science in class, I think they will always hide some obscure knowledge, whether true or not, and it may be useful to us. You know, they love Bell so much that I used three months' pocket money to ask Bell one by one...... Priest Dakoru tells Bell that when he meets the Kobold of the Dragon, he can attract them by throwing a handful of money, and then takes the opportunity to escape. ”

"Klaus, your eyes are like a beehive. Brandon stepped on the spoils and smirked: "Thanks to you, I was the first to capture the dragon vein kobold alive, and I will share half of your master's reward." ”

Charlotte looked at the dragon-vein kobold who was picking up copper coins in the distance, turned around and asked, "Brandon, how do you know that Aka can scare the dragon-vein kobold?"

Brandon saw the terrifying iron hammer in Charlotte's hand, his eyes showed a hint of yearning, kicked away the kobold captive, made a knightly salute, and said respectfully: "Madam, I was just a whim, and I wasn't sure that Aka could drink the kobolds, but Aka suddenly stopped being afraid, which means that these kobolds just wanted to scare us away so that we could pick up copper coins." So, I asked Aka to give it a shout. ”

Charlotte smiled and exclaimed, "It's really yours...... Keane also behaved well, not dishonoring his master. ”

Keane, who had just turned 14, blushed and gave a knightly salute to Charlotte.

"Akha, you're not afraid of the enemy, and the enemy is afraid of you, isn't it?" Charlotte asked, turning around.

Caligula nodded violently, and said angrily: "Aka is not afraid of kobolds, kobolds are afraid of Aka, and if the kobolds want to eat Aka's meat, Aka throws money, scares it again, and catches it." ”

The little knights burst into laughter, and Charlotte stroked her forehead and smiled, "Okay...... Let's do it first. ”

Mastering the method of dealing with the dragon vein kobolds, Randall's personal guards advanced much faster, and Caligula could easily find the dragon vein kobold who was hiding, threw a handful of copper coins, roared fiercely, and grabbed the kobolds who wanted to pick up the money, twisting their limbs, and was as skilled as catching fat pigs.

Caligula's incessant roar alarmed many people and monsters, and the guards of each family sent people to check on the situation, and when they entered the large warehouse where the kobolds were hidden at the end, Charlotte and the little knights couldn't help but let out a "wow" and watched the amazing scene.

The stupid man's imposing cry was getting closer and closer to the warehouse to the west, and Roland's battle with the silver kobold leader had changed.

"Boom"

A scorching flame erupted from the top of the treasury towards Roland, and she danced the 7-meter-long Mithril whip in her hand, and the green glow of the void water element was like a tangible water wave, like an invisible rainbow light, and with the dance of the whip, it turned into a whirlpool, and the fireball that melted gold and iron fell into the whirlpool, extinguishing silently, and not even a trace of smoke could rise.

The sigh of the water elves, the weapons of Oroxia, the long whip woven from Mithril and Adamantite Thread, its circular cross handle has no religious significance, just to fill a pure water elemental hedron.

Elemental spar is the material embodiment of the Void element, containing the power of the Void element, for the Silver Knight, the power in the elemental crystal belongs to the external force, which will disrupt the perfect balance, only the Golden Knight can borrow the power of the elemental crystal, but it is also very reluctant, until the last resort, they only use the elemental crystal as an ornament for armor and weapons.

Legendary knights are able to harness elemental crystals, and Sylvia can even inspire the violent fire elemental crystals on the Rose Spear. Princess Barcelius stepped into the realm of legend with one foot, and the hydro hedron on the handle of her whip was anything but a mere ornament. The Void Water Elemental combines the solidification of the earth and the flow of the wind, somewhere between the void and the real, and not only has the characteristics of freezing, corrosion, and ablation, but also has the solid power of the Earth Elemental and the agility and sharpness of the Wind Element.

The sigh of the water elf was a whip, a sword, a spear, a shield, a sigh of helplessness for the enemy. Only the top master forgers of the Barcelius family can use Mithril and Adamantite to create this extraordinary whip, and only a few people in the entire human realm can exert its power.

Sylvia, Orokxia, and now Roland.

Roland gave life to this long whip, like an extension of her arm, where her heart pointed, and where the whip reached, behind which was a deep understanding of the water elemental sea.

Needless to say, she has half a foot in the realm of legends.

Roland easily subdued the kobold leader's fellow guards, and the dragon monster realized the power of the intruder, and it climbed on top of the warehouse, condescendingly, and greeted its opponents with a breath of fire.

Kobolds can run on their knees and lizardmen like gnolls and lizardmen, but they are mainly on all fours to cling to cliffs, using their long rat tails to find crystals, zircons and gems through the crevices of cliffs.

The kobold leader's 450-pound body moved nimbly on the roof 18 meters above the ground, dodging Roland's whiplash after jumping up, while scolding Roland provocatively with a complex dog bark and a humanized expression, and spit out a fireball every once in a while, but he just didn't come down to fight to the death.

Roland can jump on the ceiling, but the kobold leader is waiting for her to do so, and he will take the opportunity to break through the roof and flee outside.

With the speed of the kobold leader, even if he escapes outside, he can't escape from Roland's palm. However, it was a rare opportunity to scold the dragon vein kobold, and Roland was having a good time, and he was reluctant to catch it. Scolding, scolding, Roland found that he could not scold the barking kobold, and vowed to let him catch it from the ceiling himself.

The two sides are at a stalemate.

As the frequency of Aka's roar approached the warehouse to the west, the kobold leader became more and more anxious, and he could not hear Aka's scream, so he finally couldn't hold it back, spat out a mouthful of flames, and slammed into the roof.

Roland's eyes lit up, and his delicate half-heeled boots tapped the ground, and he leaped forward, and the sigh of the water fairy wrapped around the kobold leader's hind limbs, swamming around its body like a spirit snake, and dragged the silver kobold who had broken through the roof with half of his body down.

"Puff"

The kobold's 2.4-meter-long body fell firmly to the ground, and the long whip around the green light bound it firmly, and a layer of hoarfrost spread and covered the scale armor, and its fierce struggle and desperate barking gradually turned into shivering, and finally froze honestly.

The secret warriors of the House of August stepped forward and tied up the princess's frozen booty with ogre tendons. Roland put away the sigh of the water fairy, walked towards the audience, crossed his waist with one hand, pouted and said:

"I still want to hear it say a few words about the dragon, and I knew it could only bark, so I would have caught it. ”

The battle priest's gaze wandered, trying to keep his face strained, Joshua and the high-ranking female knight of the Nimes family snickered, and Margaret still looked cold.

You're almost learning how to bark...... Victor sneered, of course, he couldn't say it, he turned his eyes to the blackened pit on the floor of the warehouse, and said:

"Whoever comes near the entrance of this cave will breathe at whomever the kobold breathes, and it would rather lie on the roof at the risk of being killed by you than flee, there must be something good in it. ”

"Go in and have a personal look. Victor waved his hand behind him.

A spirit monkey militiaman with a small shield and a crystal lantern went into the pit dug by the kobolds, and did not come up for a long time. Victor could hear movement in the crater and could confirm that there was no fighting below.

Everyone talked and laughed lightly, guessing what kind of wealth was in the hole. At this moment, the Spirit Monkey Militia emerged from the pit, his shield hanging behind his back, a horse lamp in his mouth, a gray egg in one hand, and a piece of blue and white ore in the other.

"Mithril Mine?!There really is Mithril Mine down there!" The Battle Priest walked over in surprise, wanting to take the ore from the Spirit Monkey Militia and carefully observe the quality, but the Spirit Monkey Militia refused to let go, he had to let go, and when he saw the gray egg, his eyes lit up again, "The Silver Kobold is a female? This is its egg! How many eggs are there underneath?"

"It's too dark down there, I didn't count them. The corners of the Spirit Monkey Militiaman's mouth pulled into a fake smile, and he added, "It is estimated that there will be no less than 50." ”

"Fifty, that's great......" The Battle Priest couldn't help but be overjoyed as he held the Dragonvein Kobold's egg. At Victor's signal, the Spirit Monkey Militia finally gave him the egg.

"It's all mine. Roland walked over and stared at the Battle Priest with fierce eyes.

The Combat Priest muttered in a low voice, "One tenth is from the church." ”

At this time, Caligula's tall figure broke into the warehouse, stretched out ten thick fingers at Victor, and proudly said, "Master, Aka has captured 15 kobolds." ”

He flipped the back of his hand to indicate 15 kobolds.

"Well done, you're brave. Victor was not shy about complimenting Acre for any fight, raising his hand and patting him on the broad shoulder.

Caligula smiled innocently, and then gestured excitedly: "Master, Acre has found a lot of treasures, so many, so many, piled up like a hill...... Acre brought a beautiful gem to his master, who discovered it first, and Brandon asked Acre to put the gem together and wait for the master to come...... Aka didn't listen to him, and Aka ran away. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a clear crystal from his pocket. A little red like blood solidified in the middle of the crystal, and it was bound by layers of subtle runes.

The strange crystal of the Alchemy Empire!

Victor's pupils dilated instantly, and before Roland walked over, he quickly and covertly hid the crystal on Aka's palm.

"What's good?" Roland looked at Aka's hand, his suspicious gaze turning to Victor.

"It's nothing, just a crystal. Victor said perfunctorily.

"My Crystal...... Show me. Roland reached out and begged.

"It's mine now...... The Dragonvein Kobold is yours, and the Kobold's eggs are yours, but everything to the west is the spoils of Randall's family...... I am willing to share my loot with everyone, and that is my will. Victor emphasized, and his statement was unanimously agreed by the high-ranking female knights.

Roland blinked his beautiful eyes, sneered, and said happily, "Let's go and see the treasures piled up like a hill." ”

The combat priest insisted, "The tenth is for the church. ”
