Chapter 19 Ambush Complete
After two days of rest in Makul, Rog marched into the mountains again to see how strong the Tikton tribesmen were. For Rogge, such a special case of disobedience to rule must not be allowed under his own jurisdiction.
When the army entered the mountains, a figure flashed on the mountain.
Rogge glanced at it and said lightly, "Spare him his life." β
Raphael, in the shadows, unleashed the Elven King's bow and shot it with lightning bolts. The figure flickered flexibly, but still couldn't dodge the magic arrow of the Elven King's bow, and in the scream, his right arm was pierced on the spot.
He jumped from the tree and disappeared on the other side of the hill.
Rog saw that it was still a teenager, and he couldn't help but reassess the fighting power of the Ticton tribesmen.
After half a day's effort, Rogge's army had arrived in front of the village of the Tikton tribesmen.
Although Frey had described in detail how strong the village of Ticton was, Rogge couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it with his own eyes.
The village of Tipton is made up of more than a dozen huge circle buildings.
The circle building is made of huge stones, more than ten meters high, and only at a height of seven or eight meters above the ground does it begin to open windows, and these windows are also very narrow. It seems that hundreds of people can live in each ring building. More than a dozen circle buildings are enclosed in a large circle, and each building is about 20 meters apart from each other, responding to each other, leaning on each other, and the defense is extremely strong.
Thinking of the fact that someone in this tribe can pierce Frey with an arrow, the strength of the force can be seen. It's no wonder that the land of the snow falcon has been a Tikton tribesman for generations. The country of the Snow Falcon was only 7,000 troops before it was destroyed, and it seems that at least 3,000 people would have to be lost if it wanted to defeat the Tikton tribe. It's a bad deal.
The Tikton tribesmen had already been on guard, and the small windows on the upper floor of the circle were open, and behind each window there was a cold light of arrows.
Rogge's army formed a formation on a small platform five hundred meters outside the village. The place is too narrow for the army to spread. The front row was only crowded with more than a hundred hoplites. They lowered their masks and raised their heavy shields. Although this distance has long exceeded the range of ordinary archers, Frey was pierced by an arrow at a distance of 400 meters that day, and 500 meters cannot be said to be safe.
For example, when the Elven King's Bow is in Raphael's hands, the range can reach more than 1,000 meters, and when it is in the hands of Wind Butterfly, the range will reach a terrifying distance of 1,500 meters. If it is in the hands of Hughes...... Rogge couldn't help but shudder.
Rogge carried a hideous dragon slayer spear and rode out of battle. He was dressed in silver dragon armor and was not afraid of bow and arrow attacks, so he did not bless himself with protective magic. But as soon as he came out of the battle, there was still a magic light flashing on his body, and it turned out that Floya had blessed him with protective magic such as defensive long-range attacks and magic shields.
However, the protective area of the vest-like silver dragon armor was too small, and Rogge was unwilling to get an arrow on his arm or thigh, so he stopped his horse when he came to a distance of four hundred meters, and began to shout from afar with the help of amplification magic:
"Brave Tikton tribesmen, I am Rog the Magician, and the new master of the Snowy Falcon Nation! I have heard more than once about your bravery and martial arts! But now, why can't I see it alone?! Brave tribesmen, you are all shrunk in turtle shells, and none of you dare to speak on behalf of your tribe? What about your courage? What about your archery skills that wounded my friend?"
With a creak, a small door opened under the circle, and an unusually burly man almost squeezed out of the small door.
He was two meters tall, looked to be in his early fifties, his face was carved with the marks of wind and frost, and his thick beard was already a little gray. He wore a white bearskin robe, and his knotted muscles were bare in the cold wind, as if he had no idea what the cold was. He carried a heavy machete in his left hand and a huge horned bow of one and a half meters on his back. The pale yellow bowstring is made of some kind of creature's tendons, and it is two fingers thick, and the bow body shines with a faint luster, and it looks like it has been very old.
He strode forward until he reached fifty meters of Rogge before he stood still. His voice was so loud that it seemed to be no less than the magically amplified Rog's voice, "I'm Zagur! I'm the leader of the Ticton tribe." Young man, don't insult the brave Tiktonians! or you'll pay a terrible price. You have come to the village of Ticton with so many troops, are you here as a guest? If not, then please go back! We don't care if the Principality of the Snow Falcon changes its master. Since you claim to be the new owner of the Snow Falcon Country, then we will hand over to you the one hundred animal skins we used to give to the Snow Falcon Country every year. β
Rogge snorted and said, "Don't think I'm as easy to deal with as the Duke of Annath! You insulted my first tax collector and shot and wounded my governor of the province of Lector to end this matter with a hundred animal skins, maybe your idea is too good, right? I'm not like those wastes in the Principality of the Snow Falcon, they can't help your fortress, I want to demolish it, it's not a difficult task!"
Zagur roared angrily and shouted, "The Tikton tribesmen will not accept threats!"
Rogge asked indifferently, "So, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Zagul's eyes flashed, and he whispered, "What challenge!?"
"Since the Tikton tribe prides itself on being brave, then we will each have five warriors to fight. If we win three battles, Mr. Zagur, I demand that the Tikton tribes submit to me henceforth, for my army needs such brave warriors as you. As compensation, I will choose a fertile land for you to live on, so that you will no longer have to seek food and clothing in the mountains and forests in the bitter cold season. β
Zagul sneered and asked, "What if you lose?"
Rogge laughed, "If we lose, we will recognize the reading status of the Ticton tribe." β
Zagul looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, and said, "Lord Rogge, you have taken advantage of this bet, right?"
"On the contrary, I have suffered a great loss, Mr. Zagul. You don't have much to bet on me for this game, and my army can level your village. But I love and need brave Tikton warriors, though that doesn't mean I have to tolerate what the Tikton tribe does. Mr. Zagur! You have insulted me by tying up my tax collector and shooting and wounding my friend! I propose this gamble only to let you know who the real warrior is! I want you to know that with your bravery, you are not qualified to insult me. I'm treating you like a true warrior now, and I hope I don't make a mistake this time. β
Zagur was furious, his face flushed! He held back for a long time before he shouted, "I agreed! One more thing, I want to remind you that the strength of the Ticton tribe lies not only in the number of strong men, but also in the quality of the warriors!"
Rogge interjected and smiled, "I see, then after five matches, let's have another thirty-on-thirty mock battle." If there are too many people, it is not good to have dead and wounded. What do you think?"
Zagur calmed down and exclaimed, "Very good! That's it! You'll regret your decision." β
"Wait a minute," Rogge called to Zagur, "there are magicians among us. I guess you should be reminded as well. β
Zagur was stunned for a moment, and then said meaningfully, "Any magician is vulnerable to the bows and arrows and spears of the Ticton warriors!"
Hearing this, Frey's face turned red, ashamed and annoyed.
Due to mutual distrust, the contests were agreed to be held in a square outside the village.
The Ticton tribe was all warriors, but to Rogge's surprise, there was a female surname among them! She was tall and athletic, a head taller than Androni, and her long fiery red hair was tied into a huge ponytail nearly a meter long. She wore a helmet made of a large beast's skull, covering most of her face, two huge scimitars at her waist, and five throwing spears behind her back. She was also completely unafraid of the cold, and large areas of skin were exposed on her shoulders, waist, and thighs.
Rogge was confident in these five battles, and he scanned Zagul with his mental power, and found that although his fighting spirit was strong, it was about level fourteen. If Wind Butterfly hadn't been injured, these five matches could have been easily won. But now as long as you win three games, it doesn't mean much if you have a wind butterfly or not.
At this time, the Tikton tribesmen began to walk out of the fortress one by one and came to the square to watch the battle. Rogge and Charlie counted them one by one, and finally estimated that there were nearly 300 Tikton tribesmen living in one circle tower! This village has fifteen circle buildings, that is, the Tikton tribe has at least 4,000 people. The adult men and women of this tribe seem to be excellent warriors, and the older children are also very combative, so it seems that the warriors of the Tikton tribe will have at least eight hundred to a thousand. Relying on such a strong defense system, it is no wonder that the Principality of Snow Falcon will be defeated several times in the past.
But Rogge was a different story. The Tikton tribe lacked powerful magicians, and it seemed to Rog that the few priests and witch doctors in the tribe had no magical powers. Mental power has a slight merit, and it seems that it should be good at cursing or blessings, healing and other auxiliary means.
Zagul seems to know some military tactics and strategies, and he has arranged the order of battle early, and he is in the center, and he has the idea of attacking and retreating.
"Charlie, what do you think, how do we arrange the order?" Rogge asked Charlie in a low voice.
Zha Li didn't want to, and said: "Now is a scene of steady victory, there is no need to play strategy at all." From the strongest to the weakest, Lord AndrΓ© was the first to fight, followed by me, Princess Floya, your lordship, and that killer Raphael under you. I'm sure the competition will end when Princess Floya comes, and you won't need to show up at all. β
Rogge nodded and smiled secretly. I have become more and more cautious and suspicious during this time, or Charlie is right, suppressing the opponent with absolute strength is the best strategy.
When Androni and the others who were ready to fight stood in the square, Zagul's face finally changed. He originally thought that the worst one on his side was a strong man around level eleven, and he had already won the victory, but he didn't expect that the other party was completely different from the army of the Snow Falcon Principality in the past, and the strength of the characters in the battle was completely unclear. There is even a soft girl who has captivated the country and the city to fight! He knows that the more this kind of seemingly easy to bully, the more difficult it is to deal with. The fighters have already appeared, and that girl dares to challenge herself, it can never be a fuel-efficient lamp. What's more, the mysterious fifth warrior on the other side only has a shadow, and his body is blurry and can't be seen clearly, and it is difficult to say what kind of terrifying ability he has.
Zagul's heart sank, and the contest looked less auspicious. But the blood of the proud Ticton warriors made him determined to fight to the end.
The competition began.
Androni's opponent was a warrior with a giant wand of pure steel, a head taller than Zagul, and his muscles wriggled as he gained strength, glowing faintly bronzed. There were several criss-crossing scars on his face, and a bone of the beast crossed the bridge of his nose.
Androni asked Rogge in a low voice about the strategy of this battle, and Rogge groaned for a moment and said, "Fight quickly, don't kill or cripple." β
Zagur was furious, and he snorted heavily.
Androni floated off the field and walked straight towards her opponent. The Tipton warrior saw such a handsome and thin swordsman, and the maced club was raised high, but he hesitated to know if he should actually smash it down.
"Tate, don't underestimate your opponent, give it your all!" exclaimed Zagur.
The Ticton warrior let out an earth-shattering roar, and the mace slammed down on Androni's head with a gust of wind!
The dust clears.
The Tikton warriors stood still, unable to move. Androni rested lightly on his mace, and the starry sky starved on his rounded eyes. Although her long sword was not unsheathed, everyone knew that with her strength, it was a small matter for the long sword to be sent away and break out of the brain.
The first match was won like this. Zagur's face was frighteningly blue.
In the second scene, Charlie is gone.
The experienced knight of the round table, Charlie's spear skills and swordsmanship have been washed away, concise and practical. His gun skills are simple and unpretentious, pure speed and accuracy, breaking wrists, stabbing knees, and throats, and a series of three shots are like electricity, others only feel that there is a flower in front of them, and his opponent has thrown the giant sword away, and he fell to the ground, looking at the tip of the gun at the throat in disbelief.
Zagur's face was completely green, and he walked into the door without saying a word, standing firmly.
Floya chuckled and whispered in Rogge's ear, "You're willing to let me deal with this big man so that I can tease the girl yourself." Don't even think of touching my finger for the next three days. β
Rogge laughed and said, "Won't you just win this time?" his bow looks good, you have to be careful of his arrows." β
Floya smiled at Zagul and said, "Chief, you are a great hero!
Zagur was speechless on the spot, not knowing what to say. For such a delicate and beautiful girl, he really can't do it, who has always called himself a hero. He instinctively despises any woman, and disdains to fight with women, let alone a goblin who looks so weak? Zagul pointed his machete at Rogge and said angrily: "You are despising me! Come on, come on, you come down, we are all leaders, let's fight!"
Floya laughed, "He's not as good as me! Since you're a hero, you should let me do it first, right?"
Zagur snorted angrily and shouted, "Admit defeat quickly! my knife can't be controlled so well!" Before he could finish his sentence, he watched in amazement as Floya flew into the sky with a radiant body.
"This, this ......" Zagul didn't know what to do for a moment. The Tikton tribe's magic had declined, and he had never seen a magician who could take to the skies. But the hunter's instinct made him know that it was going to be terrible as soon as he saw Floya's frame! He took off his longbow with lightning speed, wondering whether he would really shoot such a tender girl down.
In this competition, it was disgraceful to win, and even worse if he lost, Zagul couldn't help but be extremely depressed.
But it was this hesitant effort that suddenly seemed to have an extra sun in the sky, and a large piece of dazzling light sprinkled down, and all those who looked up at the sky saw a flower in front of them, and they couldn't see anything in an instant.
Rogge secretly praised in his heart, the magic of the 'Beam of the Sun' was originally used to destroy evil creatures, and it was used here, and it was so far away that it was almost lethal to the Tikton warriors. However, they don't have the ability to scan with mental power like themselves, and there is suddenly such a round of bright light in the sky, where can they still find Floya's location? Next, naturally, they are slowly ravaged by Floya's magic.
But no one noticed that in Zagul's eyes, a lilac film fell, and Floya's figure appeared clearly in his sight. Tikton warriors hunt in the snowy mountains all year round, and the membrane inside their eyes filters out the glare reflected from the snowy peaks, protecting their eyes from harm. But where do outsiders like Rogge and Furia know this?
Zagur exhaled, and an arrow of lightning shot at her!
Zagul's heavy arrows were five feet long, with spiral grooves and tail feathers spiraling in the same direction. It was he who pierced Frey with an arrow, and since then he has been very contemptuous of Rogge's men. But he couldn't deal a heavy blow to Floya, so the arrow was to pass half a foot from her face, so that she would retreat and admit defeat.
Zagul is confident in his archery skills, he is a true marksman. The Marksman is now a rare class among all races. Except, of course, the elves.
When the arrow was less than two meters away from Floya, Floya was struck by an invisible fist and flew to the side. Zagur's powerful arrow eventually swept past her a meter away.
Floya's face turned white with fright, and a spell she was preparing was interrupted. Luckily, she blessed herself with advanced ranged attack defense after liftoff, and was able to avoid Zagul's arrow.
She quickly stretched out her left hand, and the three magic rings on her index finger, middle finger, and ring finger lit up at the same time, and lightning and ice edges fell all over the sky!
Before these magical attacks could land, a pillar of flame suddenly rose from the square, and Zagulden let out a scream!
Floya was frightened and already a little hysterical. Her figure couldn't stop flying in the air, and magical attacks landed all over the square!
Although Zagul was strong and strong, he could not withstand the endless magic attacks, and his dodge gradually slowed down, and the magic in his body increased.
Rogge was secretly alert, Floya's magic strategy was to rely on a lot of magic equipment, quickly using a large amount of attack magic to suppress the opponent, and the slightly weaker warriors had no possibility of fighting back at all. Even with Zagul's toughness, he relented for a moment and lost the first move, and he was immediately beaten to the point where he was powerless.
But Zagur was clearly unable to support it, but Floya's magical attacks were getting stronger and stronger, showing no signs of stopping!
Rogge was in a hurry and shouted, "Stop!" has already secretly brought a spiritual attack.
Floya was dizzy, then came to her senses, and immediately screamed badly, and stopped the magic in her hand.
Zagul was blackened, staggering, and unsteady on his feet. He barely cursed, "Damn! What a woman!" and fell to the ground unconscious.
Floya landed beside Rogge, still shivering. Ever since she was a child, she had never been so close to death. In the past, there was a master to protect her, and later she had powerful magic props, her status was noble, and she was a charming person, except for the incomprehensible Ophilok back then, who had ever really been cruel to her?
Zagul is a marksman, and he is the natural enemy of the magician at close range, and his arrow was intended to scare Floya, but the goblin's martial arts skills are so ordinary that he didn't see that the arrow would only pass by his face, and he thought it would pass through his throat. This time, she was really scared.
Rogge patted Floya on the back and whispered, "Scared, right? Bring me a bottle of your healing potion. ...... I know you're not hurt, you're here to save the big man, and I'm going to ambush them, but I can't let him die like that. β
After being poured a healing potion into a coma, Zagul finally woke up. This calmed down the angry Tikton.
He struggled to get up, stared at Floya and said angrily, "You actually lied to me! Fuck, phew! But, you are really amazing, I didn't lose unjustly! Damn, there are such powerful women in this world!"
Zagul himself knew that the arrow just now was aimed at her, and it would not be able to break Floya's advanced ranged defense, unless he used his powerful arrow skill 'Assault' at the beginning, and even his most proud 'Cloud Piercing Attack'. When it was said that Frey was under the 'Cloud Piercing Strike'. But Rog didn't kill in the first two wins, so how could he make such a heavy hand? As long as the surprise first arrow couldn't hit Floya, then he would never have a chance to fight back again. Another option is to shoot Floya as soon as the battle starts, but he has already promised to let Floya strike first, so why is he embarrassed to break his promise?
In this way, he did lose.
"Mr. Zagur is really a hero who renews his commitments, losing is losing, and winning is winning. Rogge laughed and said, "We didn't win this battle very well, but Mr. Zagur, according to our previous agreement, since we have won, then the Tikton tribesmen will be under the rule of the Duchy of Arei in the future, and the Tikton warriors will also obey the conscription of the Duchy." But Mr. Zagur can rest assured that I cherish the lives of my men. My love for the valiant warriors of Tikton will not be below you. β
"Wait!" shouted the tall female warrior, "The battle is not over yet!
"However, we have won three games in a row, dear lady, this result is irrevocable!"
The female warrior stubbornly said, "I know! But the proud Ticton warrior can't end this contest with a winless record! I demand that the remaining two matches be finished!"
Rogge and Charlie looked at each other, and Charlie said in a low voice: "You must hit them hard!
Rogge nodded, picked up the dragon slayer gun, and stepped off the field.
The Cutton warrioress's scimitar was unsheathed, and the massive scimitar danced several swords between her fingers. Seeing that Rogge had already set up the shelf, she drank crisply and rushed over!
That's when Rogge learned the difficulty of using this dragon slaying gun.
He originally wanted to use 'god-killing', but this kind of deception is the most effective at one time, and it is not good to use it too much. As for the straight stab, with his speed, strength, and the terrifying power of the dragon slaying spear, it will definitely be a lore. No matter how strong this Ticton female warrior is, she will never be able to withstand the blow of the dragon slaying spear.
With the incomparably thick body of the dragon slaying spear and more than a dozen irregularly protruding spikes, even if it is scratched a little, it will also be a terrifying wound that is difficult to heal. If you want to stab the empty space next to the female warrior with a weight, so that she will retreat, how can she do it with Rogge's two-handed gun skills?
Rogge was helpless.
The dragon slayer spear suddenly flashed with a burst of silver light, and stabbed towards the ground in front of Rogge like lightning!
She obviously didn't expect such an attack, and with a loud shout, the scimitar shone brightly and danced rapidly, blocking all the sand and gravel that would come at her. She suddenly pulled out a throwing spear from behind her back with her left hand and threw it hard!
The flying sand and gravel blocked the view of the female warrior, and it also blocked Rog's view.
With a bang, a powerful spear hit Rogge's chest!
Charlie and the others stood up at once, and Zagul also exclaimed, "Mayila, don't put down such heavy hands!"
The heavy force of the spear threw Rog out and slammed him to the ground! He struggled twice on the ground before he got up, and the pain in his chest still made his face pale, and he didn't know if a rib had been broken.
The power of the Ticton warrior's close-range spear throwing is truly terrifying!
The spear that bounced out flew in the air a few times before landing on the ground. A large hole was torn in the mage robe on Rogge's chest, revealing the inconspicuous, gray silver dragon armor inside. In the square, there was silence for a while, and everyone looked at Rogge's chest in disbelief.
He didn't have anything! Even if Rogge was pierced, no one would be so surprised.
Rogge was furious, if he wasn't wearing silver dragon armor and replaced with other armor that was a little worse, this spear would have broken through his chest just now!
The corners of his mouth showed a slight sneer, and said, "This honorable lady, since you want my life, then our battle will end with one side paying for its life!"
Rogge's eyes flashed with silver, and with a gesture of his hand, more than a dozen magic missiles instantly shot around the female warrior, blocking all retreats around her. Then, the dragon slayer spear lit up with a dazzling silver light, and stabbed at Mayila with a strange low roar of lightning!
Mayila's face turned completely pale, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, her other scimitar unsheathed and crossed over to block the dragon slayer.
As soon as the scimitar and the dragon slayer touched, they banged and turned into broken iron all over the sky!
The castration of the dragon slayer spear changed in the slightest, and a small cloud of silver light lit up on each spike!
"Rogge!
The dragon slayer stopped castration and stopped five inches from Mayila's chest. Although it didn't hit her, there was a crack in the bronze breastplate of the female warrior.
Androni hugged Roger from behind, and she was the only one in the room who had the ability to hold Roger in a split second.
Rogge snorted hatefully, didn't look at the frightened Mayila, turned to Zagul and said, "Dear Mr. Zagur! I don't think the last one will be compared, so as not to have any casualties and hurt the peace! I don't think there is any need to hold the last group battle, whether it is a crowd battle of thirty people or three hundred, the result will be the same." β
As he spoke, Rog pointed to the Spartan Knights and the Dark Side of the Moon, and said, "Mr. Zagur, these are my warriors, and you should know that I am not boasting. Fighting alongside them did not disgrace the warriors of Ticton. In the future, I will determine the size and richness of the land allocated to you based on the exploits of the Tikton warriors, and that's fair, isn't it?"
Only then did Zagur see the original Golden Lion Knights, and his face changed again.
It's night.
After a night of drinking with the Ticton tribe, Rog and the others returned to the tent. His troops were so numerous that they were stationed in the open space outside the village. This is also why Rogge is not worried about the newly converted Tikton tribesmen, fearing that his army will be attacked.
In the dead of night, Rogge still hasn't slept or meditated, and is conspiring with Charlie.
"Lord Rogge, now that the overall situation has been decided, you might as well see their sincerity tomorrow. Charlie is trying to persuade him.
"Charlie, these savage warriors are unruly and extremely difficult to control, and no one knows whether they really keep their promises. If they turn their faces tomorrow, it would be better to strike out while they are unprepared now, and destroy this restless tribe! These fellows are strong, and if they can't be used by me, they will be like a stinger in my flesh, and they will have to be pulled out. β
"My lord, even if you must destroy the Tikton tribe, we can let them slowly wear them down on the battlefield in the future. These Tikton warriors are immensely powerful and would be excellent hoplites when paired with heavy armor, making them a natural match for the powerful Dark Side of the Moon with your ranged attacks. My lord, what's wrong with you today, you would never have given up such a good opportunity because of such a small threat. How can you achieve great things without taking some risks?" Charlie persuaded bitterly.
Rogge was shocked, let out a sigh, and sighed: "It seems that today's two competitions scared me." These Tikton warriors, hey, are fucking awesome. Just do as you say, but you have to be careful tonight!"
Rog left Charlie's tent and was walking back when he saw Androni come out of Floya's tent.
"Thank you, Anne, if it weren't for you, I'd have killed Mayila, and that's bad. β
Androni smiled and said, "You're still very afraid of death! If you kill her, you won't want to ambush the tribe. β
Rog looked at Androni and said curiously: "Anne, you haven't been so careful in the past, and you still care about whether I can take in the Votticton tribe!?"
Androni snorted, blushing on her face, and she was enchanting for a while!
She said softly, "Are you really that attractive......?" I promised someone to help you like this. With that, she paused lightly and floated away.
Rogge was confused for a while, and secretly wondered: "Damn, who would be so good to Lao Tzu? Could it be Floya's little goblin again? Even if she has a little conscience, but his grandmother's, Lao Tzu still has to guard against her, this little goblin is not easy to deal with, who can really know what she is thinking in her heart?"
Three days later, Rog's army was out of the mountains, and unlike when they entered the mountains, this time there were 800 more Tikton warriors.
The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Holy Alliance are about to groan in the raging flames of war.
Silent gentleness.
