Chapter 35: An Unexpected Discovery Outside the Battle Line
readx;
Baroque didn't know what was going on in the Frostwolf tribe, and he didn't know that Muru had surprised him with a big surprise
Although when he chose to disappear, he expected that there would definitely be a lot of unrest in the tribe. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but he didn't take it to heart...... As long as Muru and they firmly grasp the military power, then everything is a trivial matter. It was true that Muru had guessed Baroque's mind. He did have the purpose of encouraging some people to make trouble. Because some old guys in the Frostwolf tribe occupy a position of power, but they are corrupt and incompetent, he has long wanted to have a major rectification.
However, this will not be carried out until he returns to the tribe, and there are things to be done in front of him.
After many days of traveling, he had reached the edge of the Elven Forest by this time. But instead of touching the protective guard set up by the Tree of Life, he walked around. He was going to go to the frontline battlefield where humans and dragons were opposed. After all, if you want to ally with dragons and elves, you have to know a little bit about their strength. Otherwise, don't be looked down upon by them, but you will be bored.
Since the elves and humans completely turned their faces, the periphery of the elven forest has been heavily guarded. Bands of elven hunters or archers roam through the forest. Unless they want to launch a large-scale attack, the human army will not dare to disperse and approach casually. However, Baroque's concealment was much more powerful than that of the elves, and he came and went like a light breeze, dodging countless beautiful and graceful female warriors with extremely hot statures.
A few days later, they were once again on the southern coastal front where the dragons were confronting the human Holy See. On the long front, there were all kinds of flags and emblems, and groups of heavily armed warriors patrolled around the temporary fortifications built at the front, which were the armies sent by various kingdoms or empires in response to the call of the Holy See, and there were more than 100,000 troops. Of course, they couldn't compete with those warriors of the Knights of the Temple of the Apocalypse and the Knights of the Light Warriors. They have to do all the dirty and messy work, and they can't complain
It seems that the dragons are not in a good place, they have advanced hundreds of miles from the sea. But now it has been pushed back by more than half. You can even feel the dampness of the sea breeze from afar. Fortunately, the Holy See's fortresses on the coast were still firmly controlled by the dragons, so that the situation of confrontation was still stable.
Baroque had such a rare opportunity to observe the human army, how could he let it go? Letting go of the wind wolf who led the way, he sneaked into the barracks to take a look around. The armies of those small countries are undisciplined and low-ranked, and there is nothing to see, only the armies of the Great Empire or the Holy See are worth observing. He saw Odria's legions one after another, the army of the Kaplin Empire. Even the Samoan Empire, a little further south, had a legion stationed here. Obviously, this kind of confrontation involving the entire race cannot be immune. Baroque once again realizes that the key to the Apocalypse is that only the Holy See can unite the power of all human kingdoms, and still pride the entire continent under the threat of beasts, giants, dragons and elves.
What is clear...... If the Apocalypse Holy See can be severely damaged, or even destroyed, then the human race will immediately become a plate of scattered sand, and the other races will have a chance to rise again. As for who will have the last laugh in the end, it depends on everyone's ability and luck. Baroque knew that it was unrealistic to destroy the Holy See, because as long as the God of Light existed, he would not allow his inheritance on land to be broken, and he would not let his followers perish. Instead, offend his race and will be punished by him.
It seems that there is a long way to go, and I feel pessimistic when I think about it. It's like someone else can hit you and you can't fight back...... Even if you fight back, you can't hurt the other party, otherwise people will call you parents and beat you to vomit blood
Everything has to be strong on its own............ He knew his path and the key to the rise of the orcs. It was in the crystal in the black metal box left by the former King of Maudun in his hand, and the yellow animal skin scroll. He desperately needed time, a lot of time to study, to understand that terrifying divine power. Before that. He needs to raise the strength and status of the orcs to a higher level, and maintain the balance of power in the continent, so that humans can invade the orcs at will. This is the key to forming alliances with dragons and elves. As for why you don't get in touch with the giants who eat humans as food, it seems that they are very different from the noble and elegant giants in the legends of the past. More bloody, more brutal. Baroque vaguely felt as if they had changed badly, just to be on the safe side. It's better to ignore it and wait and see what happens.
The huge brass horn suddenly sounded, and the warriors who had just rested immediately stood up, hurriedly put on their armor, grabbed their weapons and began to assemble in the direction of their army. This was the warning horn of the enemy attack, and more than a dozen black dots appeared in the distance in the sky, and it was a giant dragon.
The soldiers in front had already made contact with the dragon, as if they had long been accustomed to the dragon's sudden attack. Although busy but not flustered, the tower shield warrior Britta shield defended, and the crossbowmen behind him methodically shot their crossbow arrows at the attacking dragon. Those crossbow arrows were special clusters of arrows doped with adamantite that pierced the dragon's scale armor and posed a great threat.
More than a dozen dragons wreaked havoc in the sky, but they didn't dare to fly too low, the clusters of arrows were annoying to them, and even if the wind with their wings flapped could avoid most of it, many of them would still hit their bodies, and the pain would upset the dragons. Vicious humans, in particular, have smeared their arrows with a poison specially made by magicians, which will cause them to slow down their movements and reduce their flight altitude. If the altitude is too low, the human spearmen will throw short spears in a wild way, which is a fatal blow to the dragon.
Baroque hid in the shadows and nodded repeatedly............ It seems that humanity has overcome the initial panic and disadvantage of encountering the dragon, and has gradually found a way to deal with it. Dragons can no longer have the same big advantage as they did at the beginning. Once the advantage is lost, it can only consume each other's vital forces. And for a large number of human beings, the last thing they are afraid of is to fight a war of attrition. Even if a thousand soldiers were killed in exchange for the killing of a dragon, they could easily gain the upper hand.
Perhaps this was just the most ordinary harassing attack, the dragon didn't fight hard, and the Holy See's Phantom Warrior didn't show up. After finally killing dozens of ordinary soldiers, the dragon circled in the sky and turned back. The human soldiers have a tacit understanding to collect their troops, clean up the battlefield, and collect the remains of the dead.
The totem beast Rak had just quickly made a circle around the battlefield, and took a look at the general situation of the battle line nearly ten miles long on the left, and through the eyes of Rak's spirit beast, Baroque also had a general understanding. The situation is deadlocked, and unless one side makes a big move, this balance will always last.
The Holy See's commander here has not been found, perhaps they are on other fronts further afield. The Baroque quietly retreated, and if he wanted to make contact with the dragon, it was best to be introduced by the elves, otherwise the clever big guys would not believe in the identity of the Baroque.
Instead of returning from the same path, they planned to cross the battlefield diagonally, preparing to enter the misty forest of the elves from the southeast. After walking through the front-line camp and into the battle zone between dragons and humans, he walked for more than ten miles, and suddenly, Baroque stopped and frowned slightly. Just now...... It seemed that he noticed a strange fluctuation, it seemed to be the rhythm of magic, and it was fleeting, and he didn't really feel it.
"Baroque, it seems like we've just walked through an interesting place, and I feel a wave of magic that seems to be magical. Dawnstar suddenly said, followed by several other wolves, and Baroque finally confirmed that he was not wrong. Indeed, there is a range of areas on the battlefield that are filled with the smell of magic. Although he can't do magic, he can sense the breath of magic.
Baroque suddenly realized a problem............ Why didn't you see a magician in the human barracks just now? You must know that human magicians can cause great damage to dragons, and even magic giant crossbows can be called dragons' nemesis, why didn't the Holy See recruit magicians to help in the battle? So what happened to the magic fluctuation just now?
Baroque felt as if he had grasped a critical problem, and he immediately released all four Donwolf brothers and sent them to search around the battlefield. And let Thunderhawk Evian fly high into the air to find out if there was any trace of the magician on the left side of the entire battle line. He himself and the totem beast Rak retreated from the same path to the place where he had just felt the fluctuation of magic...... The feeling is clearer.
Circling around this magical area, a roughly delineated range of fifty meters in diameter. Baroque took out a sword, dug up the dirt from the ground, dug a few places, and sure enough, he made a discovery. Under the cover of the soil, there is actually a pattern of a magic array, linked by spar and aquamarine, and the few nodes found are all inlaid with the magic core of the demonic beast. Since the hedron was not imbued with magical powers, the magic circle, which was not known to be of true use, was not activated. Baroque was able to perceive the looming magic movement, entirely because his perception was too strong, and other people, even saint-level warriors, would be concealed.
The four brothers quickly returned, and sure enough, they found such magic arrays buried under the soil in other places, and there were very many of them, at least dozens of them. Baroque drew on the ground, marking the locations of those magic circles one by one, and then it was clear at a glance............ The magic circle covered a radius of miles, like a pocket-like trap.
Baroque had a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly knew the usefulness of these magic arrays. To be continued.
