Chapter 3 Ambush Complete
Gregory was in a very bad mood today.
It had spent more than a month looking for a place to live, but in this hellish world, it couldn't find a place to be dry and warm. It's cold, damp everywhere, and there's always sewage seeping out of the cracks in the rocks. If you live on the top of a mountain, the wind will be mixed with countless cobweb-like sticky things, and it will soon cover your body with a thick layer. This makes it even more uncomfortable.
Impatiently, it blew a whirlwind that swept the murky, foul-smelling water out of the cave.
Gregory stood on all fours and trembled. Droplets, slime, and a few pieces of carrion shook off his body. It sighed, wordlessly looking at its stubby limbs, its tail swept boredom around. How can there be the slightest majesty at the moment when it looks like this? It's just a crocodile!
It is nostalgic for its hometown. It was warm everywhere, and what a pleasant thing it was to lie on the hot, black rocks, bathed in a gale full of sulfur, and the lava flames that spewed out of the cracks in the rocks would pass through its body from time to time, and the heat would penetrate into the marrow!
A gust of cold wind hit, and it involuntarily sneezed, spewing out a pale green dragon breath from its mouth. This made it feel even worse, thinking that at the beginning, he was also a member of the most superior race in the Demon Realm: a member of the Abyss Demon Dragon! Although his strength was several among the adult dragons in the clan, as a naturally noble Demon Dragon clan, Gregory's strength could be regarded as a strong one in any other race. It's a pity that although the Abyss Demon Dragon Clan is powerful, the number is scarce, the whole clan is only a hundred demon dragons, and the adult dragons are only more than thirty. Otherwise, the Demon Realm King would have become an abyss demon dragon long ago. What made the Demon Dragon Clan even more humiliating was that they actually had to rank among the five major races alongside the shameless, cunning, and tasteless Demon Realm War Pig Clan!
Although the Demon Pig Clan has a cunning and insidiousness that does not match their stupid appearance, what makes them one of the five races is that the Demon Pig is an extremely fertile creature!
Although the Demon Dragon is powerful, even the Dragon King would not think that he can fight more than 20,000 first-class war pigs, and the corresponding to the thirty adult dragons of the Demon Dragon Clan is actually a million War Pig Warriors! As for the number of the Demon Pig Clan, no one has ever said clearly. Therefore, although he is not ashamed to be on the side with the Demon Pig Clan and is extremely disgusted with them, the Abyss Demon Dragon King will not be stupid enough to start a war with them.
As a demon dragon, although his strength is relatively low, as soon as he reaches adulthood, Gregory can also be reused by the Demon Emperor and become the first-class guard of the Demon Emperor. But it was stunned by such honors, it had never been out of the Demon Dragon Valley in the Hellfire Basin, and it was dazzled by the beauties in the Demon Palace, and actually tried to protect a dark banshee favored by the emperor. As a result, the enraged Demon Emperor threw Gregory into the Demon Domain's holy land, the Dark Demon Abyss. The eternal fire of reincarnation in the Demon Abyss instantly burned its body, but its soul was miraculously preserved and floated into this space.
After all, Gregory's predecessor was also one of the most powerful dragons, and he quickly reorganized his body in the other world and turned into an ugly bone dragon. What made it even more dissatisfied was that although his original sour surname Dragon Breath was considered inferior among the demon dragons, it was a hundred times stronger than the powerless Wind Poison Surname Dragon Breath in front of him!
Whether it's the Demon Realm or this Otherworld, which is full of dead things, poison is a useless thing. Especially in the Atlas, can you poison another zombie?
It is a demon dragon known for its innate and powerful magical power, (although it is a previous life), Gregory has to rely on his teeth and claws to fight zombies, skeletons, and ghosts, which makes him feel extremely ashamed! Although the weak in the demon world have no qualifications for shame, but this is the other world, it is ashamed, no one will have objections, right?
What makes it even more dissatisfied is that when it is in the Demon Realm, just relying on the mighty appearance of the Demon Dragon and its innate dragon power will make creatures of other races avoid it, but in the other world, there will always be some undead creatures to challenge their authority, no, there are two more things that don't know how to live and die to find trouble with it.
Gregory rushed out of the cave, his wings flapping sharply, but the leaky bone wings only flew a few dozen meters with him.
That's enough for it to fly to the top.
Gregory posed in what he thought was a mighty dragon, with only two hind limbs and a tail on the ground, the upper half of his height stood tall and his wings spread out, welcoming an uninvited guest with obvious bad intentions.
Its posture is very majestic for a demon dragon, but it is a pity that Gregory has forgotten that its body shape has changed a lot since it became a bone dragon.
Rog, who had turned into a skeletal corpse witch, spotted the ridiculous undead creature on the distant peak two kilometers away.
This is a strange thing that looks like a dragon and a snake, obviously with long body and short legs, but it only uses a quarter of the lower half of Shen to land on the ground, and the rest of it stands tall and staggers in the strong wind of the other world. Its wings should be spread widely, so that its whole body is like a reed in the wind, swaying from side to side, as if it could go away with the wind at any moment. Rog Yin couldn't help it, laughed in his heart, and his gloomy mood was diluted a lot.
Fengyue doesn't have Rogge's sense of humor. Her powerful fighting instincts allowed her to spot the weakness of this vanity bone dragon in an instant.
Fengyue's wings spread wide, and a strong wind formed in front of her, rushing towards Gregory like a devastating force. The vain Gregory has poor eyesight, and when he first arrives in the other world, he is not likely to use his mental power to sense the world. It finally saw that the two skeletons that came to attack didn't seem to be so low-level, especially since it didn't seem to have seen a flying skeleton in its memory. But before the poor Vanity Bone Dragon could figure out what was going on, a strong wind pulled it up on the spot and threw it far to the bottom of the peak.
Gregory was so heavily planted in the pile of strange rocks at the bottom of the peak that it almost fell apart.
It finally rolled over and shook its dizzy head, and a wave of magic from the summit made it lose its soul again! Rog quickly completed a few small spells, and several tabletop-sized stones floated up on the summit and smashed at the strange bone dragon that had just risen.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Gregory was buried under the boulder pile again.
It's angry, it's finally angry! The dragon's proud blood makes Gregory angry!
It's a magic dragon, how can it be so toyed with by two low-level, lowly, filthy skeletons! A dragon roar sounded leisurely, and with a bang, the rocks flew all over the place, and Gregory soared into the sky in the gray mist and stone chips!
No sooner had it circled proudly in the air than the dastardly corpse witch reached out and pointed at it!
Yes, despicable! Incomparably despicable! They didn't even say hello, they attacked when they came up! At least this time, without waiting for Lord Gregory to prepare for battle, or even before he could complete its graceful and mighty combat flight in the air! The corpse witch used a spell on it! It was the most shameless gravity technique!
The space around Gregory's body fluctuated, and every bone around it immediately weighed several times as much. The bone dragon flapped its wings in despair and plunged headlong into the ground. When it was still in the air, the winged skeleton that was chasing the Demon Emperor inexplicably appeared in front of it. Feng Yue made a round of scythes in his hand, and used the handle of the knife to slash the bone dragon away.
Plop! Gregory was triumphant for less than a minute, and then he was planted back in the heap of rocks that had soared into the sky.
No sooner had the poor bone dragon poked its head out of the stone pile than its neck bone was pinched, and an irresistible force pulled it out of the stone pile.
Fengyue spun around Gregory, who was much larger than herself, and then slammed it to the ground. Rog began to hold the spell, and a purple soul fire drifted towards Gregory, ready to use this rare tonic. However, with a swing of the Wind Moon Scythe, the purple fire was extinguished. Feng Yue then grabbed the Bone Dragon Neck Bone that was about to escape and lifted it up.
The demon skeleton and the poor bone dragon came face to face. Apparently the bone dragon was not very satisfied with the demon, and Fengyue shook Gregory heavily from time to time, shaking it so that it was covered in rotten flesh.
The pride of the Demon Dragon Clan turned out to be nothing in front of the ferocious Fengyue.
Moments later, Gregory fully realized this. It watched as Feng Yue took a little gold star in his right hand and poked into his mouth. Even if it knew that Venus represented the most unequal soul contract, it was helpless. If it bites down, the right hand of the devil with a metallic luster will be absolutely fine, but it will crush its own skull with its backhand. Gregory had already understood this from the exchange he had just had.
The situation is stronger than people, and sometimes it is stronger than the magic dragon. Gregory is a keep-savvy bone dragon who has no choice between destruction and enslavement. What's more, in the Demon Realm, only the Demon Emperor and a few dozen of the most advanced demon clans have freedom at all.
The contract was completed, and Fengyue let go of his hand and threw Gregory to the ground. It crawled up and followed Fengyue's feet in despair.
Rog watched it all dumbfounded. Although the strength of Gregory's bone dragon was ridiculously weak, even inferior to the thousand-year-old zombie lord he had encountered, the scene in front of him was obviously far beyond Rogge's comprehension.
"Fengyue!" Rogge tried to communicate with Fengyue, who was taking the bone dragon away.
Feng Yue turned around, passed the idea of "this is the end of today", jumped on the back of the bone dragon, and went all the way.
Roger Moran. After a while, the skeleton was scattered and left the other world.
"Smack!" a vase was smashed to pieces on the luxurious star-stone fireplace. A tragic fate was followed by several crystal goblets, a Renaissance saucer and half a bottle of wine from the Age of Elegance.
Andrei gasped, and after a series of drops, his mood finally calmed down. Even if you are already a few strong people, smashing things is still a good way to vent.
"Why did you let Floya go on an adventure alone, and keep me here?! I doubt my father was right to put you in charge of the affairs of the Duchy of Bavaria!
David obviously didn't take Andrei's threat to heart, sat leisurely on the sofa and sipped black tea, and said slowly: "My dear brother, of course you can knock me down and step me out of this hall. But you also know the temper of my father, and since I am in charge of all the affairs of the principality, and you are also under my management, these impulsive actions will only cause you trouble. You don't want to go back to the Heavenly Fire Forest for another three years, do you?"
Hearing the words "Heavenly Fire Forest", Andre's expression was obviously a little unnatural. He grabbed a heavy imperial encyclopedia and smashed it viciously at David. David touched the ground on tiptoe, and even the sofa was like gliding on the water, and he easily dodged. But the encyclopedia suddenly shot out of a few pages, which exploded on David's head, spilling scraps of paper all over his head.
David smiled and calmly arranged his clothes. Now that Andrei has obeyed himself in disguise, there is no need to worry about this younger brother in small matters.
"You don't have to worry about Floya, how can she be in any danger if she has such a huge force to catch a few dwarves? No, no, there are really not many people who can match her in terms of intelligence. Besides, she also has a small team of Golden Lion Knights and Rogge guarding her, this lineup, even if you go to rob, it may not be successful!"
Andre looked up suddenly, and said, "That ugly fat man looked at Floya with a blatant look, if you hadn't stopped me, I really wanted to kill him!
"Waste, waste?" David said silently twice, and then became rare and serious, "My dear brother, with your sixteenth-level fighting spirit, in our generation, you are only inferior to Ofirok. The starry sky is vast, and you should always be like water. Why do you and Floya want to kill an insignificant Rogge so much?
Andrei pondered.
David finished cleaning up his clothes and began to drink tea again. "My dear brother, what's so hard to think about? You and Floya are rare geniuses, not comparable to mortals like my brother and me. Correspondingly, you are much more sensitive to the world around you. ”
David paused, and then said, "You want to kill him because your intuition tells you that Rogge is a threat to your lives!"
"Ahh
"It stands to reason that with his strength, even if there are dozens of them, there will be no threat to you. But there are only two reasons why you can perceive a threat: one is that he is too cunning and hides his strength, and the other is that he may have great potential, which makes you feel uneasy. From the information I have, the first reason is unlikely, and only the second reason remains: he has enough potential to threaten you!"
David played with the crystal cup in his hand for a long time, and said, "My dear brother, now you understand why Ophiloc and I value him so much and keep courting him? As for why he has so much potential, sooner or later I'll figure it out. ”
Andre was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Dead people don't have any potential at all. Kill it, why bother so much?"
David smiled and said: "Even if your master is here, how sure are we that we can clean up Ophorok and Elesis? It's easy to kill Rog now, but how do you deal with Opherok's revenge? Not to mention that the Grand Duke of Bavaria was a generation of war gods of the alliance when he was young, and he has run the principality for twenty years, and how many killers are hiding in the shadows, we still don't know." Dear brother, if you let your surname mess around, if you ruin your father's big business, don't blame your brother for being unsympathetic!"
Although David was smiling, the grimness of his words made Andre shudder.
"My dear brother, in fact, with your skills and intelligence, even if your strength is not as good as that of Opirok, at least you are his fierce rival. But in this little matter of Rogge, you have made several mistakes, and in the final analysis, it is just your arrogance that is at fault. Your arrogance and vanity make you refuse to admit the strength of your opponents, and your perverted perfectionism makes you accustomed to judging a person by their appearance. You feel threatened by Rogge, but you don't want to admit it. These factors are the key to preventing you from going further. Otherwise, with your peerless talent in martial arts, you might have already reached the Sword Saint level by now. ”
David said a lot in one breath before he sighed and whispered a poem: "O vanity, you are my favorite original sin!"
Andrei slowly stood up and regained his composure. With a gesture of his hand, the broken porcelain and crystals on the ground flew up one after another, gathered in his palm, and turned into a crystal of blue and transparent under the starry sky. He played with the crystal and asked, "So what do we do now?"
"Do nothing, wait for my father's orders. ”
"What to do with that fat pig?"
"Of course it's for me!"
"What will that cunning fat pig do?"
"If he refuses, I'll recruit a son-in-law for my father. ”
"What!" snapped, and the blue crystals shattered on the ground.
The Clark Chamber of Commerce's convoy traveled west, secretly unloading goods in a small town on the way, and then headed southwest, finally arriving at the Chamber of Commerce's mine a day later.
Only once you have been to the mines of the Duchy of Ron will you know why Ron has the title of Mine Country.
The mines of the Clark Chamber of Commerce stretched across the valley, and there were more than 3,000 miners of all kinds, including women, old people, and children, forming a bustling town. Like most miners' villages, the town is home to pubs of all sizes. When the convoy entered the city, it was already nightfall, and the taverns were at their noisterious, and there were already drunks staggering on the road.
The convoy entered the city causing a small sensation, and a group of children screamed, jumped, and ran after the convoy for a long time.
What made Rogge very uneasy was that the defense mission in this small city turned out to be the Ice and Snow Silver Fox Mercenary Regiment!
Although the Ice and Snow Silver Fox mercenaries who had met with Rogge and the knights of the 'Dragon and Beauty' had been killed cleanly, all the main forces of the Ice and Snow Silver Fox were wiped out by Ofirok, and the Ice Fox was killed on the spot, and the Silver Fox and the Wind Fox are still struggling in the dark prison of Lille City. But even if they lose a few thousand elites, the Ice and Snow Silver Fox mercenaries still have a huge strength of more than seven thousand, and once Rogge's identity is revealed, even if the number of people is doubled now, he will definitely die.
The Ice and Snow Silver Fox mercenary had already faded away from Rogge's memory, but he didn't expect to come out hunting this time, but he crashed into the fox's den!
Walking between small groups of mercenaries, although Rogge appeared to be indifferent, he was extremely nervous in his heart. The Dragons and Beauties and the Golden Lion Knights are also secretly on guard. Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and the convoy passed through most of the town, and finally arrived safely at the headquarters of the Clark Chamber of Commerce in this district.
Everyone didn't care about resting, and as soon as they settled down, they gathered in a secret room in the basement of the Clark Chamber of Commerce. In the center of the chamber is a model of a sand table in this area.
A large area of hills in the sand table was painted red, which Jing Ge had just painted. The hills are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the side towards the Clark Mine is covered by a dense forest. The low-lying areas between the hills are covered with swamps.
Jing Ge began to introduce the terrain instead of Benjamin, the head of the land. As a large slave trader, Jing Ge obviously had his own unique source of intelligence. I don't know if the two old foxes have reached some tacit understanding, Benjamin is not very surprised that Jing Ge is so familiar with the terrain of his nest.
Paulus's brow furrowed, although he had known for a long time that the dwarves would not live on the plains, this terrain was obviously completely unsuitable for cavalry warfare. He protested a few words of dissatisfaction.
"Oh, could it be that your knights can only fight on horseback, this is not the quality of a first-class knight!" Jing Ge said with a smile.
Under Floya's slightly contemptuous gaze, Paulus was furious. "Nonsense! We're dismounted, and we're the best warriors! Do you want to see my swordsmanship?"
The slave hunters were already good at foot combat, and the "Dragons and Beauty" knights, who were born as hooligans in the market, were even more capable of riding immediately. Movement in the forest is not a problem, but the problem is that the dwarven kingdom has always been deep underground, and no one knows how deep their underground kingdom will dig and where it will extend. It's really easy to encircle and blockade until it's all covered.
Jing Ge said: "The reconnaissance on the ground and the warriors who surround me can do it, but the problem is how large the dwarven tribe is in the underground, we have no way of knowing. As he spoke, he looked at Rog and Floya.
This kind of underground reconnaissance is difficult, but there are many types of mages, at least most of the mage pets are reconnaissance types. As powerful as Floya, no one knows how many mysterious spells and magic weapons she has.
Floya frowned and said, "I don't have a good way to do this, maybe a large-scale earth splitting technique or even an earthquake technique will be a solution, even if they have a tunnel leading to the outside world, they will also be broken." ”
Everyone looked at each other, if it was really as this witch said, if there were a few seven-magnitude earthquake techniques, the dwarves would not be able to escape, but everyone should not think about catching slaves, just collect the corpses.
Floya glared at Rogge quietly, and Rogge had no choice but to step forward and pull out a beautifully made glass bottle with a lifelike wolf carved on it. The bottle was filled with pale gold, churning liquid. Even through the bottle, you can clearly feel the powerful magic contained in this bottle of potion.
Rogge said loudly: "The dwarf tunnels are as dense as spider webs, and it may not be easy to block them all. However, they always need to drink water, I have some 'curse of the fallen gods' here, which can make the person who drinks it extremely weak, and the effect is very long-last......ing! As long as they drink this potion, even if the dwarves run, they will definitely not be able to escape far, and we will be able to catch up with them in one day after the path they have traveled in five days!"
"And," added Rogge, "it's colorless and tasteless, and the dwarves can't even notice it!
As he spoke, Rogge continued to wave the bottle in his hand and said, "Don't look at this thing as a small bottle, but it can be diluted almost infinitely without affecting the effect! This bottle can fill the underground water veins of the entire dwarf hills in three days! At that time, no dwarf can escape our palms!"
Everyone looked at the green bottle in Rogge's hand, and their feelings were extremely complicated. This thing is worthy of the "curse of the fallen gods", if you get a little bit of it, then the end can be imagined! The likes of Paulus, who have some festivals with Rogge, have secretly resolved in their hearts that they will never eat or drink anything that Rogge has touched in the future, and have a good relationship with the fat man, such as the old fox Benjamin is thinking about how to get one or two bottles into his hands.
It's just that everyone doesn't understand how such a bottle of things, which can be said to be priceless, got into Rogge's hands?
Kate was the most intelligent of the aristocratic youths, and he glanced at Floya thoughtfully. The goblin immediately noticed it, and looked back with a smile, but the chill in his eyes made Kate tremble, and she hurriedly moved her gaze to the side, desperately chanting God's name in her heart.
With this bottle of demonic potion as a backing, everyone suddenly felt a lot more confident, and the discussion immediately became hot, as if the dwarves had been tied into a long string and were being transported to various workshops. At this moment, the dwarf hills on the sand table seemed to have begun to show golden light in the eyes of everyone. As for the forests and mires that surround the dwarven hills, they can only be considered a trivial test. Which of the people present is not mixed up on the line of life and death? Will they be stumped by these trivial things?
In fact, the primeval forest that lies between the Dwarven Hills and the Clark Mines is called the 'Forest of Silence', and no one has been in it for hundreds of years. The humid and rainy climate of the Duchy of Ron has shrouded the 'Forest of Silence' in a thick fog all year round, and mutated monsters of all sizes are distributed in it. The demonic beasts that haunt the lands rich in mineral veins tend to be more ferocious and powerful than those in other regions. An unsung scholar once suggested that the Ore Vein-rich Land Mana Field was more powerful and unstable than other places, thus affecting the demonic beasts that lived in it. It's a pity that he didn't pay attention to his report.
Compared to the Demonic Beasts, the poisonous insects of the 'Forest of Silence' are even more difficult to deal with. But as long as Floya is there, everyone doesn't have to worry about this problem at all. And Rogge is a necromancer, so he has to study scorpions, insects, and so on. By the time the 'Forest of Silence' arrived, Rogge would naturally have a few more bottles of insect repellent in his hand.
Only Rogge knew that Floya was not only a high-level mage, but also a master of apothecaries! In her seemingly unstable carriage laboratory, there were countless strange magical materials piled up, as well as a large number of potions that he didn't know what to do. There were a few things he recognized, including five bottles of 'Sources of Magic'. Rog didn't know if Floya had mastered the recipe for this magic potion, but looking at the few bottles of extremely precious potions she placed at random, he knew that this kind of treasure that all magicians coveted was not very precious to Floya.
Elixir that can instantly restore mana is extremely rare, and the price is comparable to gold. Just like this 'source of magic', having a bottle can change the outcome of magic battles. Fighting against Floya, who has five bottles of 'Source of Magical Power', is equivalent to having to engage in a wheel battle with six fourteenth-level magicians! How many people in this world can deal with six Floya?
That's when Rogge understood how terrible Floya was. Just like after he put on his own armor 'reincarnation', the warriors who were slightly inferior in strength could only watch his magic bombardment.
The power of matter is sometimes infinite. This strengthened Rogge's determination to become rich and accumulate wealth.
Benjamin was more interested in the veins that the dwarves were developing than the dwarves themselves. After some haggling, it was agreed that after sweeping the dwarven hills, the slaves would go to Jinggo and Rogge, and the mines would be owned by the Clark Chamber of Commerce. The rare deposits dug up in the veins are sold to the Hammer of the God of War at half of the market price. In return, the Clark Chamber of Commerce will fully support all activities of Jing Ge and Rogge. In particular, in terms of ordering a large number of military equipment, the hammer of the god of war will be supplied in large quantities at a low price, which is actually equivalent to the supply of Bavarian public [***] fire in disguise.
The spoils were not evenly divided, but the cooperation resulted in unintended benefits for all parties, so the alliance is incomparably stronger, at least for now.
