Chapter 122: Earth Warriors
The mysterious figure standing behind Roger lifted the cloak he was draping on, and at that moment his body swelled up again, revealing a hideous face with a fat head, big ears, and green fangs. (For the latest chapter reading, please visit)
Just when everyone was stunned, it was the people in Roger's own camp who reacted first. The gold-splitting hand and the poisonous widow changed their faces in unison, and cried out in a lost voice, "Grum, why are you here?"
There is only one word difference between the pronunciation of Grom and Grum, the former means son of the earth in ancient language, and the latter is the warrior of the earth!
Among the natives of the brownland hills, the number of humans is actually only a small part, and the vast majority of them are bandits, mercenaries, smugglers and other scumbags. In addition to humans, there are also a large number of intelligent creatures such as goblins, ogres, and centaurs that thrive in this land. In fact, these tribes of intelligent creatures expelled by humans are the real "natives". They lived there even before the establishment of Dioente in Caceros.
Grum is the current chief of the Ogre Limestone Tribe, and his tribe occupies a sizable area of land in the southern part of the brownland hills, and even has several vassal goblin tribes, so it can be said that he is a veritable lord of one side. However, the harsh natural environment and scarce survival resources of the brown soil hills are of course impossible to feed the full consumption of such a large tribe. For the sake of the future of his clan, he led the elite warriors and goblin vassals of the clan to start a business of raiding houses and houses.
If Roger is the king of robbers recognized by human society, then Groom is the king of robbers in the hearts of the natives of other tribes. His reputation in the brownish hills is not necessarily worse than that of Blackbeard and Roger, but for some reason, Grum has a very low-key style and has always maintained a good relationship with the human robber king.
However, his low profile seems a bit silly in the eyes of others, so much so that many times they subconsciously ignore him. During the hunt against the exiles of Isttalen, Groom never showed up, and no one knew what kind of agreement he had made with Roger.
The Poison Widow and the Gold Teller had privately speculated that the reason why Roger dared to hire an Istaron warrior to die for him was probably because he used Grum's strength as a surprise soldier, that is, a negotiating card. But they didn't expect that Roger would be able to win Grum's complete trust, so much so that this huge fat man dared to hide alone in the team without saying a word.
This kind of petty conspiracy is not worth mentioning, but it requires unreserved trust from both sides. I'm afraid that except for Roger, it is impossible for anyone else to dare to take an ogre chief who is three meters tall and weighs more than five hundred pounds with him, don't forget that the name of this race is called "ogre"!
Glum tore off his tattered cloak and pulled out a huge wooden stick with iron skin from behind his back, the thickness of an ordinary person's thigh, the height of a man, and he didn't know where he had hidden it before this. He slammed the wooden stick on the ground, kicked up a puff of dust, then untied a roasted leg bone of an unknown creature from his waist, took a bite of meat and devoured it, bowed his head and said to Roger, "Ghost wolf, what do you want me to do?"
"Break open the gates of the Night's Watch Fortress!" Roger said bluntly.
Grum looked up in the direction of the Night's Watch Fortress with a grim smile on his face. He nodded and said, "It's good, it's hard enough, it's strong enough, and Groom likes that." ”
"Take me with you, Mr. Groom!" "Thea squealed and climbed up Glum's body with dexterity, sat down on Grum's shoulder with skillful movements, reached out and pointed forward, and shouted happily, "Groom's chariot is off!"
On the ramparts, El once again dodged the flames of the Saroman serpent, closing the distance between himself and Quezalas. However, after the last sneak attack, Quezalas was noticeably more cautious, and he continued to sprinkle sharp ice crystals around him, like barbs to stop El's progress.
However, the reason why El has not attacked so far, of course, cannot be because of these ice crystals that have caused negligible damage. Just as Lolana had guessed, he was trying his hand at Quezalas.
Up to now, the abilities revealed by the Wind Scar have at least two effects, "Sharp" and "Demon Breaker", but El still feels that there is still a power on this knife that he has not yet tapped into. Although his ability is not enough to exert the full power of Wind Scar, within his endurance, this knife still has room to tap its potential.
Adjusting the angle again, El's eyes fixed on Quezaras's old face, clutching the hilt of Windmark's sword, his body shaking slightly, still not attacking. He had a strange feeling that the knife was just waiting for the right moment to make a splash.
It wasn't the Scars themselves that gave him this feeling, but Quezalas's reaction. Elle was keenly aware that whenever he stopped to grip the hilt of his sword, Quezalas immediately stopped the incantation he was chanting, his body tense and ready to teleport. If it's just once or twice, he always seems to be a little eager to cover it up.
Aside from Adrian himself, Queizaras was probably the most knowledgeable about the weapon, as he was the only one who knew the truth about the plan a thousand years ago, and he knew more about Adrian than anyone else. The way he looked nervous now only meant one thing - the knife contained a secret that threatened his life.
El felt that he was close to the truth, and on several occasions he felt that he had grasped the key, but out of caution he did not do it immediately, still patiently waiting for the opportunity.
With Quezaras's true strength, it was not difficult to kill El head-on with elemental magic, but after he was injured, his state inevitably dropped to a dangerous level, so that he no longer dared to chant powerful magic spells, and could only rely on the summoned elemental elves to maneuver with El.
However, he uses silent spells when summoning elemental spirits, which means that he is equally capable of this type of summoning magic. Taking advantage of the delay in El's counterattack, Queizaras quietly summoned a new Saloman snake, instantly doubling the efficiency of the firenet's blockade of El.
The battle between the two men had spread to the Night's Watch defenders on the city walls, and the flames that were spraying everywhere caused the Night's Watch warriors to suffer as well. With the idea of killing people, Quezalas naturally did not take these ordinary people who were destined to die in his eyes. But that doesn't mean the Night's Watch warriors are all fools. The dominance and prestige that Quezalas had gained on his might were not enough for the Night's Watch warriors to die for him.
Seeing that the two men were coming, the night watch warriors who stayed on the city wall immediately fled to both sides without hesitation, and among them, there were even subordinates who were loyal to General Hank, taking advantage of the opportunity of the two people fighting farther and farther, sneaked to General Hank's side, carried his stiff body on his body, and trotted all the way away from the city wall.
"How do I think you're going to hide this time?" Quezalas smirked and commanded his two Saloman snakes to force El to the edge of the city wall with flaming arrows, and saw a flash of white light from the corner of his eye, and his heart subconsciously shivered. He is also a treacherous and cunning person, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately gave up the elemental elves under his control, and in a flash, he released the teleportation again and escaped a certain distance.
As soon as Quezalas left, where he had been, the battlements of the city wall paved with blue bricks suddenly split in two, and Palanti's figure appeared above the battlements, and all the ice crystals scattered on the ground around him were blown apart at once.
"Palanti! you disobey orders again!" El cried out in frustration as soon as he saw who was coming.
"Your Excellency, Miss Lolana has asked you to make a quick decision, this magician's true intention is to cause a collapse and bury the Night's Watch Fortress as well!" said Palanti exclaimed. Although she rushed fast, she had not forgotten what she had heard before. Although strictly speaking, it was a bit of a violation to let Lolana, who was not part of the military system, give orders to herself, but Palanti felt that her generals should not mind this.
Because Lolana's reasoning is always right.
El nodded, and shifted his gaze to the two sarromans that Quezalas had abandoned to them. From the moment he started, he felt that something was not right, he always felt that the attack of these two half-human and half-god monsters was disorderly, and the flaming arrows that were sprayed looked crooked, even if he stood there, he might not be able to hit, it was just a piece of waste.
After being alerted by Palanti, he immediately noticed the rock vault at the top of the Night's Watch Fortress. Compared to the entrance to the ruins outside, the walls of the Night's Watch Fortress are almost connected to the top of the cavern. Although the attack of the Saloman snake did not fall on El, it burned on the stone wall and refused to stop until it burned a pit in the stone. The top of this cave was already burned red, and the top of the cave not far away was covered with a layer of frost. Under the mutual repellent of fire and ice, countless tiny cracks have begun to appear in the rock at the top of the cave.
At this time, as long as Quezaras manipulated the earth spirit Grom to shake the mountains once, the cave that lost its stability would immediately collapse.
And the reason why he hasn't made a move so far is probably because he has the mentality of killing everyone!
