Chapter 204: How to Fight?

From the treasury of the Raven tribe, Kerry took out the best armor and weapons for his four warriors. They opted for round helmets and steel shields that did not interfere with their vision. Originally, they chose a spear as a weapon, but they were stopped by Siegel. With the exception of the Ice Spear, it is difficult for ordinary piercing weapons to leave scars on the Golem.

Kerry doesn't have to wear armor, and any metal armor becomes brittle and untenacious when he uses his cold and freezing breath at full strength. In addition to affecting activities, it will also destroy the protective effect of freezing gas. His armor was taken from the dead red dragon, and only this magically resistant scaly dragon skin could provide adequate protection even at low temperatures.

The giant invited out the Ice Spear and solemnly tied it to his back. He then donned the mane helmet, which symbolized the power of the Jackdaw chieftain, and the mane taken from the King of Horses hung down from the back of his head like a long braid. He walked out of the longhouse, and Mycella immediately stepped forward with a wine: "Salute to the king of the Jackdaw tribe!" and she said, "Drink the wine in this cup and wish you invincible!"

Kerry took a sip from the cup and kissed his wife on the cheek. It wasn't part of the ceremony, but no one would mind the chieftain and his wife's act of affection. She then handed the cup to the other warriors of the tribe and asked them to drink a glass of wine and share in blessings and hardships. When she stood in front of Siegel, her eyes flashed with excitement: "Bring my husband back." ”

Siegel took the glass, drank it down, and replied firmly, "This is the first one, I promise you." ”

"Listen up!" said Kerry, standing at the front of the line, to the crowd who had come to see them off, "the battle is coming." So you all give me a good practice! I'll go to the activity first, and when I come back, I'll check if you're lazy!"

Everyone laughed, even in the face of the bloody battlefield. They will also respond with a smile and will never have the slightest hint of timidity. After the destruction of the original home, everyone held back their thoughts and wanted revenge, and the Jackdaw tribe, which had eaten dragon meat, had no fear of the giant beast at all. In winter, there is no grazing, and there is nothing else to do except practice martial arts, so the whole tribe has entered the atmosphere of preparing for war.

"When I left. The Messirah can do the things of the Lord tribe, and you should trust her wisdom as much as you believe in my power, do you understand?"

Everyone held back laughter. Hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this moment a knight came to Kerry and reported: "We have found Mr. Siegel's retinue, and he will be here in a short time." ”

"It's finally here. Siegel said, "I thought he couldn't find a place." ”

In order to pray for the best, the Messira insisted that everyone share a new glass of wine, so that Mohr, who was late, could be counted. Kerry and Siegel walked down the hill side by side. Others followed. When riding a horse. Kerry the Giant looked back and saw that Messira was standing in the doorway of the longhouse with the child in her arms, waving vigorously at him, then raising her arms high and giving him a thumbs up.

The giant did the same, and then rode to the west of the walled mountains.

They roared along the way, singing songs of freedom and cheerfulness. Snowflakes fell in the sky. But it can't slow them down in the slightest. The return of Raven gives Siegel a Scout again, so they all went well along the way.

At the time of the break. More would report to Siegel about the situation in Heim's territory. The two patients who have lost their minds have been properly housed, and both Fezak and Janet have speculated about their identities and are seeking safe channels to verify them.

"Madame guesses that it is most likely the missing lord of Hub, Kira Stadt II. The son of a nobleman who disappeared near Fort Hub, and who also likes to play the piano, is just that. Moore reported: "The identity of the other knight is unknown. ”

"Why wasn't he killed, but imprisoned as an idiot?" Siegel couldn't think of why, and might have to wait until they got back to normal.

"The construction of the Magic Tower and the mortgage of the Striped Gold Mine was sudden, and some knights objected. However, with the support of Hum Ke and Mana, no one did not obey the orders of the lord's wife. She invited Master Edith of the Mage Federation to discuss the matter, and the Master happily agreed, and began to work on the drawings. ”

"Many of the knights still live on our monthly salaries, and the maintenance of their armor, weapons, and mounts is not cheap, and we don't give them a share of land. "I can understand their concern if they lose the gold mines," Siegel said. As long as you continue to obey orders and keep your original oath of allegiance, you can ignore these things. ”

"I also brought all the scrolls in the castle, including the ones that Master Edith took out of the library and gave them to you. He said that you need to pay it back, but there is no need to worry for a while. "He heard that you are also an expert in the use of all kinds of weapons, and he gave you a cloth strap to wrap around the handle of your weapon," said Moore. ”

Siegel took the cloth belt and found that it was not a textile at all, but could only be made from the skin of some kind of creature. It was cut into a finger-wide strip that was nearly two meters long, and the spell spell was permanently sealed with thorn ink on both sides. Seegal read it carefully and learned that it was a powerful form of magic that sharpened the weapon and could damage imaginary creatures such as ghosts.

This type of enhancement spell is usually made in the scabbard of the sword, so that the weapon can be kept warm in normal times. However, due to the different forms and the fact that weapons such as hammers and maces do not have sheaths, this method is not possible. The mages continued to study and improve on the foundations of their predecessors, and are now able to make this wrapping. In this way, as long as it is a hand-held weapon, it can be applied to the effect of sharp edge and striking virtual body for a long time.

Siegel carefully tied the handguard cloth to the hilt of his sword and recited the activated incantation. They have left the confines of the "Holy Land", and the magic can work normally. I saw a faint light enveloping the sword body, and then it trembled rhythmically, and finally slowly disappeared. Siegel uses a spell to detect magic, knowing that Stardust has now been inflicted with a magical effect.

The mage's spells are always improving, and there are always new techniques and ideas popping up. Siegel's Rune-Elemental Guardian is a case in point. Ruifeng hand cloth is also an example. Perhaps one day, the whole world will see the convenience of magic, and the mage will no longer be a lone researcher in the mage tower. It is the backbone of the times. I don't know what that world would be like, it would have been much better than it is now—if only it weren't for the fact that the Knox would have a mage in power.

After three days of riding, they arrived at Longshi Cliff before the heavy snow closed the mountain. It is already guarded by dwarves, and there are seven people on guard from the watchtower below the mountain, and it is said that there are even more dwarves patrolling the mountain. With the passage letter from Irling, Siegel was taken to the foot of the Dragon Lion Cliff. In the place where the Knox Commons had set up camp, four dwarven tents had been erected.

A red-bearded dwarf is the leader of the eight-man team. His name is Occam Stone. He was five hundred years old and an experienced warrior. When Siegel shook hands with him, he could feel the grip coming from his broad palm.

Occam's voice was deep. Speak straight to the point: "Mr. Siegel, Elint has entrusted us with your assistance. What are we going to do?"

Siegel pointed to the platform jutting out from the mountainside, called everyone over, and said, "On that platform." There are two golems. Each one is nearly six meters tall. Three meters wide. Their attack control range is about three meters, but I don't know how fast and agile they are. Our job is to get rid of them and break them down into parts. Only if it is very safe to do so, try to capture them. ”

"What kind of golem?" asked the dwarf, apparently knowing something about the constructed creature.

"It's not very clear. Siegel replied, "Eleint once said that these golems are very sturdy and can mend their bodies with the dirt around them. Watch your feet as you fight around them. At any time, there may be mud puddles that affect your pace. Let's call it the Rock Golem. ”

"How resistant are they to magic and the elements?"

"As far as I know. Very strong. Siegel said.

"Well, Mr. Mage, this battle is not going to be easy. "They are on a protruding platform on the mountainside, with a cliff on one side, and there is no place like it within a radius of several hundred meters, so they cannot build trebuchets or ballistas," said the dwarf. Even if a platform is carved into the mountain wall, ordinary shooting weapons may not be effective - and the opponent will be able to recover on its own. ”

"The formation cannot be spread on the platform, and the size of the golem has a great advantage. The most dangerous thing is to be knocked down by a golem and definitely fall into meat sauce. ”

"We have defenders, hammer throwers, and a rock priest, but none of us can fly. ”

Siegel said with a smile: "I'll worry about flying. As long as the golem can't fly, we have a chance to win. ”

The dwarf blinked, looked back at the platform, and said to Siegel, "You want to tear down the entire platform? I see that the rocks in the mountain are very solid, and the construction surface is very small, can you guarantee that the golem will not attack when digging the mountain?"

"So hold the golem in tow. Siegel said, "Let's take a break, I'll test the Golem's attack and resistance, and then we'll start building our position." ”

"Position?" Kerry asked, puzzled, "Isn't the battlefield on the platform?"

"I want a safe victory, so the position is essential. Siegel replied, "What if you don't break the golem at this height?"

The group entered the dwarven camp, and Moore pulled the horses to the stable, where he would take good care of the mounts and restore them to their best condition. The dwarves had already prepared hot food, but everyone was concerned about the battle that was coming, so they quickly filled their stomachs and stopped eating.

In order to be able to attack the Golem, the Dwarves have repaired the staircase leading to the platform, and both passages are now usable. Each passage can only be passed by one person, and everyone can only climb up one by one. Siegel motioned for everyone to stop as he approached the platform, then pulled the scroll out of his backpack.

"Fossils are Mud", a spell that can only work on natural rocks. Unlike Siegel's Earth Rune Guard, this spell is of little use for processed stones like walls and foundations. However, the Earth Elemental cannot be expanded on steep stairs, so you still need to use Spell Scrolls.

The mud from the stone flowed down the mountain wall, leaving a three-meter-square pit. It serves as a platform for observation and support, and if you shoot with a bow and arrow, you can cover a small half of the platform's area.

"Can this be used as a platform for setting up catapults?" Siegel asked the dwarf.

Occam poked his head out. He looked up and down, left and right, and then shook his head. "The angle is not good, unless the trebuchet is framed in mid-air. Master Siegel. Can you do that?"

"It's still possible to have two small trebuchets, but you can't do it too much. Siegel said after a visual inspection.

"That's useless, it won't hit at all. ”

"In that case, let's use the original plan. ”

Siegel took a deep breath and held his breath, this time trying something he had never done before. When confronted by a golem, a single summoned monster does not pose much of a threat. To know the limits of the golem, it is necessary to increase the number of summons.

He kept recalling the summoning spell in his mind, and waved his wand in one hand to condense the qi element. With the other hand, he flung the dwarven runes of the earth elemental convergence to the ground. The surrounding energies were all excited, and the fluctuations of the two elements affected each other. Siegel gritted his teeth, trying to make the light spirit qi element rise and the turbid earth element sink. Concentrate on the two elemental cores separately.

It's a weird feeling. There is a great sense of incongruity that needs to be overcome. It's like looking up with one eye and looking down with the other. Fortunately, the condensation of magic has inertia, and Siegel is already very proficient in elemental summoning, unlike novices who need to keep an eye on it all the time. When he can't be distracted, he quickly switches his attention between the two.

The whirlwind-like qi elemental appeared faster and swooped down on the golem. Then there is the heavy earth element, stretching out his arms and trying to balance his body, climbing up the steps. In pursuit of quantity. Siegel summoned all small and medium-sized elementals so that he would not instantly drain the elemental energy around him. The first two elements climbed onto the platform. The mage didn't stop, and continued to cast elemental summons.

The golem sensed the invading enemy and instantly stood up. The dust that clings to them is shaken off, revealing their massive bodies and thick limbs. The qi elemental approached from the air and lightly dodged the first punch.

Just as it changed direction, the second punch caught up at a faster speed, accurately hitting the qi elemental that had no time to dodge. I only heard a bang, as if I had popped a balloon, and the qi element was directly destroyed.

The Earth Elemental climbed up and activated its own special ability: the Mire. Part of the platform turned into a mud pit and could not bear the weight. The golem walked straight towards the earth elemental as if it hadn't seen it, and its broad paws rumbled.

Just as it was about to step into the mire, a brownish-yellow light emanated from the sole of the golem's feet, turning the mire back to solid ground. Siegel was summoning the next batch of elementals and was not in command of the enemy, so the earth elementals were at a loss. It could only raise its fist and charge towards the golem.

The golem stomped on the waist of the earth elemental, and poured down its two fists. If the flesh and blood body is cut in half, how can it have the strength to fight back?The earth elemental doesn't feel pain, so it still doesn't lose the idea of attacking when it is trampled underfoot. Before the golem's fist slammed it flat, its swing left two clear scars on the enemy's ankles.

At this moment, the second and third elementals climbed up, this time fire and air, followed by the third wave of water and earth. Siegel has found a trick to making such summons more stable as long as they don't summon opposing elements at the same time, and reduce the power of the spell as much as possible.

Because casting spells like this will take up the mage's full attention, this technique is of little use in actual combat. However, the current purpose is clear, which is to test the Golem's action mode against multiple enemies, and there is no better "death squad" than a large number of elemental creatures.

Siegel summons four elemental creatures in a loop, and the magic fluctuations around them cause various anomalies. Crackling electric sparks burst into the air, cracks began to appear in the rocks of the mountain, and snowflakes suddenly fell overhead, but disappeared before they could hit the ground. A steady stream of elemental monsters finally climbed onto the platform, spawning faster than they could be destroyed.

They left scars on the Golem's body, but only superficially and did not affect the Golem's mobility. And in front of the golem's fist, no element could survive the second blow. The platform is getting more and more crowded, and the two golems have also changed the way they fight. They cut back on straight punches and instead open and close wide, stretching out their arms to sweep the space around them. When he was sure, he suddenly merged his palms and struck the elemental body that couldn't dodge like a dead mosquito.

"They're very efficient, and it's too dangerous to dodge them alone. "Our defenders should be able to hold out, but never more than ten," said the dwarf Occam. ”

"That's pretty impressive. Kerry was thrilled to see such an opponent: "If it were me, I would only have five chances to make mistakes at most. ”

"It's best not to do it once. The dwarf said to the giant, "When you are hit, your state will decline, and a vicious circle will be created, and you will soon be unable to hold on." Only the skills specially trained by the defenders can guarantee that they will always be as strong as the earth. ”

As if these elements had annoyed the Golem, or had been under siege for a long time, the two Golems suddenly collided with each other with their fists in front of them, making a loud buzzing sound. Siegel was very sensitive to elemental fluctuations, and immediately noticed something unusual: the energy of the earth element and the air element was drained by the golem and sucked into the body of both of them.

"Be careful!" he could shout before he saw the golem strike.

The golem that had sucked away the power of the earth elemental stepped hard, and the soil fluctuated like a wave, violently overturning the elemental standing on the ground. Fortunately, the earth elemental was not afraid of the fluctuations of the ground, and just shook it and stood firm, while the water elemental was all affected and was thrown off the platform directly.

The golem, which had sucked away the power of the qi element, opened its palms and pushed it outward, and a gust of wind spread violently around it. The fire elementals were extinguished, the earth elementals were all overturned to the ground, and many were swept off the ground and thrown off the platform. Only the air element remained, constantly rolling in the air, and although it was far away from the battlefield, it finally did not disappear.

If the other two golems were still there, I'm afraid it would be the power of the four major elements that had been activated together, right? Siegel stopped summoning the minor elementals and gasped heavily, thinking about how to deal with this situation.

"Call them elemental golems. The dwarf stroked his beard, and then said in unison with the giant Kerry, "This thing is kind of interesting!" (to be continued......
