Chapter 339: Eastward Hunting

After joining the Harland Territory, the elves began to settle down and gained a peaceful environment for development, albeit in poor conditions.

Sylph and the two High Elves Helen and Freya quickly recovered from their injuries and began to scout the nearby enemy.

The elves like to live in the forest and are the darlings of the forest, especially the middle-aged elves like Sylph, who are not only strong in their own right, but also have accumulated a lot of experience in surviving in the jungle, and soon have a rough understanding of the magical beasts that are active nearby.

During this time, Richard also began to organize a large number of high-level demon hunting teams, going deep into the vicinity of Viscount Bolton to cooperate with the elves' reconnaissance activities.

After the reconnaissance began, Wendini settled in Fort William, temporarily residing in the Mage's Tower, where she eagerly learned new knowledge while she began repairing the armor that had captured Pirosa.

It took more than forty days to enter March, and the repair of this high-level armor was finally completed.

Wearing the eighth-order defensive armor and the ninth-order long sword of the Azure Sword, Richard's melee ability once again increased by a few points.

March was the season of recovery, and Richard organized Haaland to lead the demon hunting team and entered the forest once again.

This time, Richard transferred more than 200 people from the army, formed three demon hunting teams, and transferred two squadrons of demon beast cavalry from the 1st Warcraft Cavalry Brigade, preparing to clean up the high-level Warcraft 200 kilometers near Viscount Bolton.

Although the elves don't like to kill very much, for the survival of the tribe, high-level professionals such as Wendini, Sano, and Sylph will also participate in this operation, and the security of Bolton Collar is entrusted to several sixth-order elves.

In particular, the ferocious bipedal wyvern and terrain dragon are the key targets of Haaland's leadership. By cleaning up the bloodline descendants of the legendary dragon, see if you can lure this legendary dragon to appear.

If this legendary black dragon is led into a trap, it is possible to kill the enemy with the power of the Harland Leader.

Before this hunt for Warcraft, two more important members of the Haaland Leader had successfully advanced.

The first is Soros, who took the Advanced Life Evolution Elixir purchased from a multinational auction, and Soros successfully advanced to become an eighth-order warrior. Although Soros is not good at close combat, his archery skills are amazing, and in some special environments, he is a few points more threatening than a ninth-order warrior.

The second is Jennings, who is one year younger than Richard, and was promoted to the seventh rank at the age of thirty-two, and at this rate, he can break through the legendary bottleneck in his forties.

This time entering the territory of the legendary dragon to hunt, Harland led a large number of elite soldiers, formed three demon hunting teams, and dispatched two hundred demon beast cavalry, in addition to the Harland Mage Association also transferred two squads of magicians, and the high-level leaders of the Mage Association poured out, Sophia and Wendy were all involved in this operation.

The first target Richard chose was the Earth Drake that had just woken up.

The Earth Dragon Beast, also known as the Earth Dragon, is a high-level magical beast, and the lowest adult Earth Dragon Beast is also the seventh order, and some powerful male Earth Dragon Beasts can even grow to the ninth-order level.

The bloodline of the earth dragon beast has awakened a variety of dragon spells, and it is also covered with tough wurm skin, its defense is amazing, and it has a very large body size with strange power.

A seventh-order earth dragon beast in a head-on conflict is often a few points more powerful than a ninth-order knight.

But the Earth Dragon Beast has a very big weakness is that its head is not smart, and the IQ of the Earth Dragon Beast is not even comparable to that of the Iron Wildebeest, and it is as stupid as an ordinary beast.

Without a smart head, it's easy to fall into a hunter's trap.

As long as there is some preparation in advance, a seventh-order silver knight leading a team can often successfully hunt the Earth Dragon Beast.

Richard still remembers that the first time he entered the Eagle Mountains, under the leadership of Thoros and Roland, he captured the Iron Wildebeest herd, and found the lair of the Earth Dragon Beast, at that time everyone was terrified, and also smeared the feces of the Earth Dragon Beast on his clothes to prevent the Earth Dragon Beast from smelling it, and finally saved his life.

The Earth Dragon Beast has the habit of hibernating, and the Earth Dragon Beast, which has just woken up in spring, has a strong aggressiveness, and will frantically attack all enemies who enter the territory.

Unlike more than ten years ago, now Haaland is leading the army strong, plus the number of elf high-level professionals exceeds ten, and the number of middle- and low-level professionals has been transferred to three hundred this time.

Although the Earth Dragon Beast has rough skin and thick flesh and is not weak, it cannot compete with this army at all.

Soar is the fastest and most agile, and takes on the heavy task of luring the enemy.

Although the terrain dragon is stupid, it can also distinguish between strong and weak, and does not dare to attack a few hundred troops.

Once the Earth Dragon Beast escapes, it is particularly troublesome to hunt, and it also needs the help of the Lion Cavalry. There is a bipedal wyvern activity nearby, and the bipedal wyvern has a very strong sense of territory and will attack all demonic beasts that rise into the air.

Now that Haaland is led by only two squads of eighteen Warcraft cavalry, it is difficult to replenish the losses, and Richard certainly will not let the Lion Cavalry suffer losses easily.

Sarno acted as a decoy, and sure enough, it was easy to introduce the terrain dragon into the encirclement, and the five archers of Richard, Soros, and Sylph suddenly used cold arrows to accurately shoot the high-level armor-piercing arrows into the vital point of the terrain dragon, and the hunt was easily successful.

"Take the dragon marrow fluid."

Richard gave an order, and the adjutant beside him hurriedly opened the big mouth of the earth dragon beast and collected the dragon marrow liquid into a porcelain bottle. The magician immediately placed a seal on the vase and stored it in a storage item.

Hunting Warcraft in the jungle is easier for an elite squad of more than a dozen high-level professionals. The reason why Richard sent his army into the primeval forest was mainly to deal with the legendary dragon.

This legendary black dragon has a mixed army under its command, which includes dragon-veined kobolds, gnolls, bipedal wyverns, and even a small number of trolls and ogres to serve the dragon.

At a critical moment, this legendary dragon can pull out thousands of elite troops.

Once you don't have a numerical advantage, it is easy to fall into the trap of the dragon and be attacked by the dragon's army, which will be extremely risky.

After all, the legendary dragon is different from the earthly dragon beast, it is a highly intelligent creature, and it may be more cunning and intelligent than humans.

This time to break into the territory of the legendary black dragon, Richard needed to take as many troops as possible, but he was limited by the supply capacity, so he chose to transfer 400 people.

Viscount Bolton is eighty kilometers away from the Twin Star Castle, this Viscount is already on the edge of the legendary dragon territory, Richard provoked the legendary dragon this time, squeezing the living space of the legendary dragon territory, mainly to solve the security problem of the Harland territory once and for all, and create a good security environment for the elves by the way.

Although the biggest enemy of the Harland Leader is the orcs, the east and west sides are surrounded by legendary black dragons and legendary ogres. Compared with orcs, the legendary black dragon and the legendary ogre are soft persimmons, and their territories are easier to expand from east to west.

For this hunting operation, Richard took two months to prepare, because two hundred Warcraft cavalry were transferred, and a large amount of baggage needed to be prepared.

The food consumption of one Warcraft War Horse is equivalent to ten people, carrying two hundred Warcraft cavalry, and the amount of baggage consumed is equivalent to two thousand three hundred infantry. Moreover, 300 professional officers and soldiers were dispatched for this operation, and the amount of food consumed by the professionals far exceeded that of ordinary people. The consumption of 400 men under Richard's command is roughly equivalent to 3,000 infantry, and the food consumed every day is as high as tens of thousands of catties.

If it weren't for the purchase of two space bags at auction and the seizure of Pilosa's legendary space props, Haaland would not have been able to support this kind of operation at all.

After all, the Viscounty of Bolton had no output and could not provide baggage at all, and it was already very difficult for East Grota County to maintain a food supply line of two thousand indentured slaves. According to the manpower and material resources of the current Grotta region, it is simply not possible to support the army's activities in the eastern part of the Viscount of Bolton.

Immediately after killing the terrain dragon, the members of the demon hunting team began to peel and cramp.

The wurm skin of the terrain dragon can be used to make medium-level enchanted armor, and a set of dragon skins can make more than a dozen pieces of medium-level armor, and now the Harland Mage Association has Wendini, a high-level alchemist, who can effectively use this resource and will no longer be over-profited by the Grant Mage Association.

The blood of the Earth Dragon Beast is also a precious potion material, which can be used to refine the Dragon Blood Elixir, the internal organs can be used to refine the Venant Elixir, and the bones of the Earth Dragon Beast are all high-value alchemy materials. Successfully hunting a terrain dragon can roughly be exchanged for 20,000 or 30,000 gold coin resources. Because of the Jonathans' family, a large buyer nearby, the dragon marrow fluid can often be sold at a premium in exchange for more funds.

After hunting the terrain dragons, Richard and the others began to operate within 200 kilometers east of the Viscount of Bolton, and successively discovered the nests of seven terrain dragons and cleaned up the seven terrain dragons.

In addition, one hundred and twenty kilometers away from the Viscount of Bolton, Richard also discovered a tribe of dragon-veined kobolds.

There are not many people in this dragon vein kobold tribe, adding up to more than 20,000 ordinary kobolds, and even the number of dragon vein kobolds is as high as 400 people.

After discovering this large kobold tribe, Richard immediately launched an attack with his soldiers.

According to the information held by the Dukedom of Haaland, the Dragon-veined Kobold are an important force under the command of the legendary black dragon Ramoos.

When the Jonathan family crusaded against the legendary black dragon, the dragon vein kobold soldiers played a very important role, and it was this elite army that burned Duke Jonathan's grain and grass and cut off the Jonathan family's grain route, forcing Duke Jonathan to withdraw his army.

Richard had communicated with Macmillan, the eldest son of Duke Jonathan, during this demon hunt.

Macmillan is also a ninth-order epic knight who became the new Duke Jonathan last year. The previous Duke of Jonathan, Neo, is now the full-time Grand Duke of Starnick.

Because the two pieces were too far apart to rule effectively, the Jonathan family made the decision to split up. Of course, they have just separated, and the managers of the two territories have a close relationship and have a very deep relationship.

In another one or two hundred years, after two or three generations, the relationship between the two territories will be similar to that between the royal family of Grant and the duchess of York.

In recent years, the Duke of Jonathan has been under pressure from the legendary black dragon, and three generations of Grand Duke Jonathan have wanted to expand their territory to the north, but they have been blocked by the legendary dragon.

Because of the legendary dragon Ramoos, the Jonathan family has not been very successful in the eastern part of the Eagle Mountains. Castles built in the mountains have been destroyed several times by legendary dragons, and the southern foothills of the Eagle Mountains are also often used by bipedal wyverns, destroying production and hunting humans.

Especially when the orcs invade, Ramios will also cooperate with the activities of the orcs to contain the army of Duke Jonathan.

After receiving Richard's letter, Macmillan did not hesitate, agreed to Richard's request, and once again mobilized thousands of troops to the east of the Eagle Mountains, preparing to build a castle again on the same site, compress the territory of the legendary dragon, and continue to advance in the direction of the dragon's lair.

The commander of this army was also Richard's old acquaintance, Starreno.

More than ten years ago, Starrenor came to Blackriver Fort and exchanged dragon marrow fluid with the Harland family, at that time Starrenor was only a fourth-order knight, and he had little say in the Jonathan family, and often participated in some business activities, and now he has been promoted to a seventh-order silver knight, becoming an important helper of Macmillan, commanding thousands of troops.

Richard and Macmillan sent troops almost at the same time, and engaged in an east-west invasion, which greatly compressed the territory of the legendary dragon.

In particular, the dragon vein kobold tribe was led by Harland to lead a surprise sneak attack, and the casualties were immediately very heavy.

Although the Dragonvein Kobold tribe has tens of thousands of members, the Dragonvein Kobold live in a different camp from the average Kobold.

Ordinary kobolds live in underground caves, while dragon-vein kobolds live in large caves.

The Harland leader launched a surprise attack, instantly sealing the six entrances and exits of the underground cavern and blocking the dragon-veined kobold in the cave.

In the dragon vein kobold tribe, there are three high-level professionals, in addition to the ninth-order patriarch Piratu, there is also an eighth-order kobold sacrifice Latinor, and a seventh-order kobold warrior Masala.

These three high-level professionals were just about to organize their teams and launch a counteroffensive. The seventh-order kobold had died from Sylph's cold arrow.

In the face of Haaland's elite troops, the outnumbered kobolds simply couldn't compete. In the face of the sneak attack of the Warcraft cavalry, the kobold lost his organization and fell into chaos in an instant.

The troops composed of ordinary kobolds are not even as good as the serf soldiers recruited by the nobles, and they are also relatively sparse troops in the orc empire.

In the face of two hundred demonic beast cavalry, the army that the kobold had just organized fell into collapse in an instant.

Seeing countless kobolds being sealed in underground caves, they couldn't form effective tissues at all and rushed out of the underground caves.

The Warcraft cavalry jumped off their horses, cut down trees to collect wood, and threw bundles of wood into underground caves, where the wood was ignited by rockets.

Suddenly, smoke billowed and poured into the underground cavern.

The kobolds fled in the forks of the underground caverns, huddled together.

After the flame burns, a large amount of irritating toxic gases are released, which damages the nervous system of kobolds, and the large amount of smoke and dust produced by combustion will block the respiratory system and cause a large number of kobolds to suffocate to death.

As wood was added, tens of thousands of kobolds died in underground caverns.

If these tens of thousands of kobolds were organized and launched a savage charge, it was possible to inflict heavy casualties on the two hundred Warcraft cavalry, but the kobold organization collapsed and could not resist, and most of them died in the fire.
