Chapter 168: Goodbye Double-Headed Eagle (Part I)

It was getting dark. In the distance, there are snow foxes looking at the camp curiously, this kind of monster is not very aggressive, many of its close relatives like to live near the city, and even some demon foxes will survive in the city.

Small foxes prey on rats and eat garbage thrown out by humans, so they can live with humans. Some foxes in the south also prey on snakes and insects, similar to domesticated cats.

Sitting on a tall rock, Salin looked at the little creature that haunted the distance, and felt a little better. Whatever happens, the city base must be expanded.

When the city is built, with the defense network formed by the magic tower, even the blood knights will be helpless to take the city. When the time comes, it seems that it is time to catch some snow foxes and go to the city to stock, no matter how perfect the city is, there are always some places that humans can't take care of, snakes, insects, rats and ants are troublesome things. With this animal, the city will be much cleaner.

In the makeshift camp, pirates lit bonfires. There is not much else in the chaotic swamp, and there are dead branches and leaves. Sprinkle it with cheap magic powder and it will burn for a long time. Salin didn't stop this, he didn't come to the swamp to sneak into the ruins, he was meant to get the attention of the Holy See.

If Salin really wanted to sneak into the ruins. There simply won't be so many people coming out. These more than 100 pirates rode skeletal horses, and they were very swaggering along the way, and anyone who paid a little attention would know that such a team had entered the swamp of chaos.

However, the last time Saleen executed a dozen pirates, so that the rest of the people were much more restrained, and there were no more drunkards, and from a distance, the camp was quite neat and quiet.

Salin remembered how she had escaped from the swamp of chaos, and Neris carried her on her back and ran wildly. At that time, he was afraid that the white deacon Picasso would change his mind, and he had no power to resist at all. It's only been a few years, and I'm going to be able to come back with a swagger.

If he encounters a magician of Picasso's level again this time, Salin is sure to win. The battle with Zola built his confidence. The advantage of mages is that they have too many ways to defeat their enemies.

It only makes sense that a mage who throws a fireball is not a good mage. Different spells can be combined to form a kaleidoscopic variety of combat styles.

The amount of magic in the Saleen Guild is not very large, but it is almost never used in the same way in every battle. Depending on the enemy, he will have different fighting techniques. This is the advantage of magicians, but few people understand. Most people think that the power of a magician is just manipulating the elements, but in fact, the wisdom of a magician is what is more important.

People who are not smart enough will never become good mages.

In the snow in the distance, a lone snow wolf slowly approached the camp, and when he saw more than a hundred skeleton war horses standing in the camp, the snow wolf hesitated to leave. Warcraft has always been sensitive to danger. This camp is not at all an object that snow wolves can attack.

Bang!bang......

Farther away, some unknown huge demonic beast awoke from its slumber and moved rapidly. Maybe there was some other monster disturbing its sleep. Perhaps it was too hungry to continue its sleep and had to get up to feed.

This is the swamp of chaos, where every species has to fight for survival, and no one can survive their lives in peace.

"Huh?" Salin looked up sharply, and a black dot passed by high in the sky, and he quickly took out the alchemy telescope and looked up. Flying from above was an eagle with two heads.

Saleen became a little nervous, the double-headed eagle and the dark mage in the swamp of chaos, he couldn't sit still, jumped off the rock, and quickly returned to the camp.

Aini was training in the tent, and it was Daniel who helped him protect him. Daniel willingly helped Aini, of course, because Aini was also a necromancer, and his rank was higher than him, so he could learn more. Seeing Salin's gloomy expression, Aini knew that something unexpected had happened. Saleen rarely had a bad look on his face, unless it really confused him.

"What's wrong?" said Aini, putting away the necromantic flames, now that he and Salin were grasshoppers on a rope, not just friends.

"I just saw the double-headed eagle!"

"What!" Ani thought he had misheard, the biggest crisis of his life was the last time he was besieged by a dark mage in the baron's castle. Dark mages are even more annoying than rats, and they have the ability to expand their population like rats.

Daniel's reaction was much smaller. He hadn't experienced it himself, and certainly didn't know how terrible a black mage could be.

Salin and Aini thought back to the Headless Horsemann and the Abomination Drake, and felt that once the number of that thing reached scale, their team would be wiped out.

The mighty Abomination Dragonbeast can even knock through the breaches in the city walls, and the Headless Horseman is a swordsman who has no sense of pain or fear at all. In contrast, the Blood Knight is quite easy to deal with, because the Blood Knight still has pain, and if you slash it with a sword, you will lose your hands and feet, and the Blood Knight will have no threat.

The Headless Horseman is different, the Headless Horseman himself doesn't even have a head, and it is difficult to kill completely without magic. As long as the Headless Horsemann has a limb remaining, he can continue to attack enemies. And now in the swamp of chaos, there is no castle to rely on, and it is difficult to win more with less.

Salin took out his rudimentary map, drew a line on it, and said, "The double-headed eagle flies in this direction." ”

"Seems to overlap with the target?" said Aini, frowning, making a terrible judgment.

"If the Dark Mage hides in the swamp of chaos, it's going to be a big problem. Saleen looked at the map, his fingers drawing lines on the map. He drew this map from memory, and when Pale Red showed him a look, he wrote down the Pale Red map. The map only marked less than a tenth of the Swamp of Chaos, and Salin added a few more, without indicating the location of the temple.

The Swamp of Chaos is a large area, but in order to cross it safely, the route Saleen chooses is almost the only one. The so-called security here is only relatively safe, and Saleen has walked by himself, and the terrain is simple. There are no too powerful Warcraft. The kind of mountain monster has no specific territory and will not appear very often.

Now that the Dark Mage's Double-Headed Eagle has appeared, the location where the Black Mage is entrenched will not be too far away, and no matter where it is, the Black Mage's range of movement will just block Sarin's route.

Saleen bought the town of Deep Forest in order to create a secret passage through the chaotic swamp so that he could quickly reach Skocina. If the Dark Mage is entrenched in the Swamp of Chaos, Deep Forest Town is the front, and may have to face the fierce attacks of the Black Mage in the future.

The climate in the chaotic swamp is harsh, and survival is difficult, but the black mages themselves are almost like undead creatures, and they don't care about the climate at all.

"Let's look at the present. Salin thought for a moment and said to Daniel, "You go and collect the pirates' weapons, and we'll refine them before we set off." Now their weapons can't deal with the Headless Horsemann. ”

Daniel nodded, and Aini said, "Do you want the Three Kings to help?"

"They may not help, let's deal with it themselves. If this were the Dark Mage's stronghold, the Three Kings would have been able to escape with us. Do you remember back then, the black mage seems to have resurrected some demon god. Even if that thing isn't a god, its combat power isn't something we can resist. ”

Neither of them mentioned the idea of turning around and leaving, and finally got the three kings to sign a contract with a trap, and this time everything was to be done. Whether it's the Holy See here, or the Dark Mage's stronghold here, the Three Kings can't avoid the fact that they must fulfill their contractual promises.

These pirates were about as effective as the baron's soldiers. There are also a few swordsmen, and most of the others are swordsmen's level. However, there are only more than 100 pirates, and there is no castle to rely on, so they really encounter a large number of black puppets, except for the magicians such as Salen and a few newly subdued sword masters such as Zola, it is unlikely that the pirates will survive.

Saleen can now only refine weapons for the Dark Mage's main class, giving the pirates a better chance of survival. Black golems are not very agile in their movements, and fighting them with long weapons can reduce unnecessary casualties. As long as a few soldiers poke at a distance with long weapons, they can easily solve a black puppet, and the key is to cooperate.

At the level of the Headless Horseman, heavy weapons are needed to deal with it. Fortunately, the pirates have all learned some rudimentary swordsmanship. Although his sword qi is not strong, it is still easy to use heavy weapons in a short period of time.

The pirate's weapons were collected and sent outside Sarin's tent.

The wooden gun was too short, and Saleen and Aini needed to double the length of the wooden gun. Fortunately, the space in the demon replacement is much larger now, and the equipment prepared for the pirates is quite enough when he goes out this time. The pirate's wooden gun had a barrel of less than three meters, which was the configuration of the cavalry.

Since the decline of the knightly class, the way knights fight has also declined. Particularly long weapons, which were used only by infantry. There is no longer such a seven or eight meter long horseman, unless it is a knight who has ridden a large demonic beast. None of the four Warcraft knights newly acquired by Salin used too long weapons, and their Warcraft was not much bigger than a war horse, and they were still omnivorous Warcraft.

Saleen now regrets not bringing Neris with him, and if Neris was there, the two constructed golems would be a powerful weapon against the black golems. It would be better if Rex was here, there are a lot of battle puppets around Rex, and the battle puppets are much more flexible and combat effectiveness than the black puppets.

Now on his own, Salin rolled up his sleeves and, like a blacksmith, picked up a wooden gun and examined it.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Daniel's alchemy was not good, but he didn't want to be idle, both Saleen and Aini began to help the pirates refine, and the weapons of more than a hundred pirates would take a lot of time.

"Do you know how to make potions?"

"I have a magic potion, and I can use it against golems. Daniel wasn't stupid, and his answer pleased Saleen.

"Then apply potion to the soldier's weapon, immediately. ”

As Saleen and Aini spoke, they had already lengthened the barrels of the two wooden guns and began to test their strength. Pirates also practice marksmanship, because when looting, if you want to jump on the deck of the enemy's merchant ship, the best weapon is a spear, and occasionally pirates will also practice javelin, the sea climate is humid, bows and arrows are troublesome to maintain, and alchemy crossbows are too expensive. The same needs to be repaired, and the gain outweighs the loss if you buy it.
