Chapter 17 Growth on

The advance base was in shambles, and a soldier who had slipped through the net quietly touched the corner, trying to escape over the wall. Passing by the doorway of a house, he suddenly sensed something and looked inside. At a glance, he suddenly showed a look of horror, and instinctively opened his mouth, wanting to scream!

However, at this moment, his whole body suddenly shook, the expression of his face was sluggish, and two blood lines spurted directly from the ear holes. Then a thin line of dark green water came out of the door, and spit right in his mouth. The waterline was extremely corrosive, and the warrior's mouth immediately made a snorting sound, and large clouds of hookah continued to emerge. He couldn't make any more sounds, and fell to the ground, his hands in his throat, rolling desperately. Two blades suddenly protruded from the door, pinning the warrior's shin and dragging him inside.

Brood ......

In a short period of time, its psychic impact power was greatly enhanced, and an acid spitting skill was added.

The soldiers who surrendered were escorted to the cellars under the tavern. Their injuries were simply treated and bandaged, and the two knights who were more seriously injured even received a treatment for minor injuries each. This made all the prisoners of war temporarily reassured, since the other party's priests were willing to use precious magic skills, at least they should not be slaughtered.

Two infantry knights followed Tiramisu to the outside of the base, where there were two other captives of considerable value, a knight who was so badly injured that he could no longer move, and a priest who had been knocked unconscious.

The rest of the Foot Knights began to clear the battlefield, take stock of the results, and search for enemies who might be hiding. More than a dozen warriors escaped over the wall at the end of the battle, and the elf Orar had already chased after him. It was impossible for him to intercept all the fleeing enemies, but he was the only one who had some spare strength to chase them down, and by the way, he would do some exploration of the surrounding situation.

The battle was finally over, and it was a miracle that no one on Richard's side was killed in the grinding disc-like strangulation. And the biggest creator of miracles is actually quicksand. Her Mirror of Time directly led another powerful Sir Huber to be killed instantly, and then, in the stalemate battle, she used a total of seven powerful healings, twelve healings, and nearly thirty healing minor injuries, which was equivalent to adding more than half a life to everyone. Quicksand alone is almost worth a small group of priests. In addition to her special talent and profession, the book of time in her hand also contributed a lot. Nearly one-third of the magic is stored in zài time.

The roles of Richard, Gonde and Splash are unquestionable and almost equal. Gangde pestered Mintae the whole time, and Richard killed and injured a large number of ordinary soldiers, if you talk about the number of kills alone, there is no doubt that he is the first. Although there were only a dozen people who died under the splash knife, they included five knights, and the rest were almost all elite veterans.

However, in Richard's calculations, the greatest contribution was actually the elven troubadour Oral. His Battle Song effect can now bless three people, and the boost effect is roughly equivalent to going from level 10 to level 11. It doesn't seem like much improvement, but in the long stalemate like a meat grinder, the song runs through the whole battle, and the cumulative effect of its little effects should be very considerable. Oral himself hunted close to ten, the elven archery accuracy is really good, and he avoids the knights and only looks for wounded warriors to sneak attack, so one arrow is often fatal.

All seven foot knights survived, and at such times, a strong will to fight and rich battlefield experience played a decisive role. In the early days of the Alien War, the role of such a veteran was more important than that of any young genius. It was only now, when Gordon did not hesitate to consume valuable teleportation slots, that the role of equipping Richard with veterans was fully revealed.

Numbers aside, Richard's contribution to the battle was much more than it seems.

Through Guò Soul Sense, he was able to judge the current position and battle situation of the nearly half of the battle, so that he could appear in the most critical position at the most critical moment. And at the beginning, the two ogres were ambushed, and the victory was established in one fell swoop when both sides became the end of the crossbow.

At this time, Richard stood in the center of the base, listening to the infantry knights report on the results of the inventory of the battlefield. In pre- and post-war affairs, these veterans handled them with such proficiency that they didn't even need to be asked by Richard. In contrast, the likes of Gonder, elves, and ogres can only kill people.

However, as Richard listened, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the number of enemies. The bodies of those who fled and those who died in the war were combined, and there were a dozen fewer people in total. Of course, Richard could not have had an insight into what happened on the battlefield, but the difference in numbers was so great that it was impossible to ignore.

Richard searched his memories and finally concluded that the dozen or so vanished warriors had either escaped or were still hiding somewhere in the base, and that they should all be corpses. So the problem now is that all these bodies are gone.

The battle had just ended, and there should be no other enemies in the base, so where did these corpses go?, Richard pondered, and suddenly felt a headache. His ears were always haunted by the small sound of Qi Qi's chirping, and he didn't think there was anything at first, but he thought that the background sound of the surrounding environment was now getting clearer and clearer, and it was more and more weird.

Richard stood up suddenly, pulled out the long knife stuck in the ground, beckoned to quicksand, splash and Gangde, followed the direction of the sound sensed in his consciousness, and soon came to a corner of the base. When I got here, the origin of the sound was very clear, which was the ground floor of the two-story building in front of me.

"Brood?" Richard called out. In his consciousness, the brood was in this small building.

The brood's response immediately resounded in Richard's consciousness: "Master, here I am." There is no danger here, you can come in. ”

The sentence was very fluent, and after a day's time, the brood had fully mastered the lingua franca of the Norland continent, as it had said.

Richard was puzzled, and strode into the door with everyone, and as soon as he entered the door, Richard was shocked by the scene in front of him!

The ground floor of the small building, which used to be a living room, is now in disarray, with all the furniture reduced to a pile of scraps of wood and rags, and a large piece of space has been cleared. In the middle of the living room, the mother nest is crouching. It was keeping its head down, chewing on its torn armor, shields, and weapons, and that's where the clattering sound came from.

But even Richard was extremely shocked and unfamiliar with the brood that was now two meters long and more than one meter tall and more than one meter wide. At the beginning of the battle, the brood was no more than a meter in size.

Gangde and Splash subconsciously put on a posture of battle, and the huge brood has already brought them a strong sense of danger. Although they had already seen the brood and knew that it was some kind of soul contract creature of Richard, it was not possible for anyone to connect the brood, which was only one meter long, with the terrifying creature in front of them.

"What's going on?" asked Richard in shock.

"These metals make my carapace stronger. The equipment I picked was completely scrapped and had no reuse value. The brood said.

This answer shocked Richard again, but this time it was astonished by its intelligence. In less than a day since birth, the brood has already had a concept of value.

The conversation between the brood and Richard is directly connected to the spiritual level. While communicating, it never stopped devouring discarded armor and weapons. The hard steel is easily crushed under the complex mouthparts and then swallowed. Occasionally, a few drops of saliva fell from the mouthparts and dripped onto armor or weapons, making an immediate snorting sound, and in the blink of an eye, a deep pit corroded by the finely forged steel.

Seeing this scene, both Gangde and Splash became more vigilant. The combat effectiveness of other aspects of the brood is not yet known, but if it is stuck with such saliva, the consequences are conceivable.
