Chapter Seventy-Six, The Mercenary's Invitation
Two powerful knights escorted the wizard back from the darkness, and in a short time, four or five more groups returned, all of whom were sentinels sent out by Adonis to reconnoitre.
"How's it going?" Osmond glanced at the indifferent teacher and spoke carefully.
This time it was all the elite of the Hermitage Society, a total of six gifted wizards.
Adonis sent them out, not only because the wizard could shield his senses and detect the enemy more covertly, but also with the order for them to drive the monsters to attack Gloom City.
The sentinels replied: "Within a thousand miles, there are fifty second-order demonic beasts and ten third-order demonic beasts, and Gloni's potions are very powerful, and now they and their clans are gathered around the edge of Gloom Crystal City, and as soon as the torch disappears, they will act." ”
Osmond was obviously a little dissatisfied, and frowned: "There are only so many demonic beasts nearby? The dragon servant army in Dark Crystal City is maintained at about three hundred all year round, and with the cooperation of the temple wizards, it is unlikely that such a few magical beasts will cause them too many casualties. ”
The sentinel said: "After all, Gloomy Crystal City has almost been upgraded to the power of a medium-sized city-state, and the demonic beasts within a thousand miles have been swept up all year round, if it weren't for the decline of the city-state in the past thirty years, we wouldn't even be able to find the demonic beasts here, but we found traces of the goblins and the servants of the Sivana Temple on the way, which seem to be the same as our goal." Mentors, do you need to send someone to contact them? The three of them joined forces, and it was easy to take down Gloomy Crystal City. ”
"Djinn City and Fury Wing City?" Osmond's face changed, "Why are they here, do they know the news that the Dark Spirit Dragon is dead?" ”
"The dragon god of Gloom City is dead?"
The wizards all looked at Adonis in shock.
No wonder Castlevania dared to send troops to attack from a distance, it turned out that the dragon god who guarded the city-state died. As the overlord of the transcendent species, the dragon clan can almost have more than one enemy, and it is an invincible existence of the same level. If the dragon was still there, how would the hermit dare to send troops?
The Flesh and Blood Great Wizard's face did not change, and he said lightly: "Osmond is not wrong, thirty years ago, the leader and the city lord of the Giant Spirit City attacked the dark crystal dragon and seriously injured it, and since then they have been waiting for the news of its fall, until the spy sent back the news not long ago, I knew that the dragon fell ten years ago, so we were sent to collect the fruit." I was surprised that the people from Djinn City appeared, but I don't know how the half-bloods in Furious Wing City got the news. ”
After a moment of silence, Adonis said, "If you can find them, they may not have failed to discover us." Since they haven't moved for the time being, we will also go our own way, after all, there is no point in forming an alliance now, let's look at the strength of Gloom Crystal City before making a decision, so as not to waste saliva when we meet. ”
Everyone didn't dare to refute, and the demonic beasts outside Gloom Crystal City were gradually approaching. Three tribes were slaughtered that day, and nearly 1,000 people were killed or wounded.
The tribe below the mountain was in danger for a while.
The news soon spread to the temple, and the seven priests and the top of the dragon servant army gathered together to deal with the sudden tide of demonic beasts.
High Priest Otis looked at a burly middle-aged man and asked, "Legion Commander, how are the casualties now?" Has the tide of monsters under the mountain receded? ”
The leader of the Dragon Servant Army, Valk, frowned and said: "There are only three tribes that have been exterminated, and the other tribes have only lost some population, generally speaking, more than 900 people have died in the past twelve hours, and now the tribes at the foot of the mountain have moved to the mountain, do you want to stop it?" ”
Otis shook his head: "After all, they are the people of the city-state, so you can't watch them being devoured by demonic beasts, find a piece of land for these tribes to gather on the mountainside, and then move back to their original place after the tide of demonic beasts has receded." ”
"Okay." Valk agreed, and then asked, "This wave of demonic beasts is strange, have you found out the reason?" It stands to reason that with Lord Svein sitting in the city-state, it is absolutely impossible for the nearby demonic beasts to be half a step close to Black Dragon Mountain. ”
Otis moved his eyes and looked at the other party, Valk's face did not change as if he had no deep meaning, so he said quietly: "It has nothing to do with Long Wei, according to the corpses of the demonic beasts provided by your dragon servants, these beasts were drugged and deliberately driven here." I hope that the Legion Elder will send some masters to investigate what is abnormal within a radius of a hundred miles. ”
"Got it."
After thinking about it, Valker continued, "If you want to incite such a large-scale Warcraft tide, I am afraid that it is not possible to rely on individuals alone, there must be forces behind this. Whatever their purpose, this beast tide probably won't just be a matter of a few dozen hours. The dragon servants are responsible for guarding the temple and protecting the city, so I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with the monsters below the mountain, so I would like to ask the high priest to allow the city-state to recruit mercenaries to resist the tide of monsters. ”
Although Gloom City is remote, there are many foreign knights and wizards, and if they can be hired, it will be a big help.
At the special moment, Otis was not a conformist, and only thought for a moment before agreeing: "I agreed, you can hire foreign knights and wizards to hunt demonic beasts - but the various hubs of the city protection array cannot be known to them, and they cannot be involved. It is a matter of the safety of the city-state, and I hope that the commander of the legion will let the dragon servant army do a good job of secrecy. ”
"Of course I know that."
Valker solemnly agreed, and then followed Anderson out to discuss the details of the employment. The temple is in charge of the logistics of the dragon servants, and Anderson is the temple's chief steward.
After everyone left, the rosy on Otis's face quickly disappeared, and his gray face was like a dead man. When he stopped using his magic to bind the space around him, an indescribable smell of decay permeated.
The great wizard who had been in charge of Dark Crystal City for nearly a thousand years retreated from his majesty at this moment, his eyes were empty, he was obviously middle-aged, but his eyebrows were full of twilight. After a long time, he sighed: "The three cities are gathered, is there really a traitor in the temple?" ”
In the eyes of ordinary people, the dragon god is just an ethereal belief, but for the rulers of the surrounding city-states, the dark spirit dragon entrenched in the magma lake of Black Dragon Mountain is a brutal creature, even the domain wizards can't defeat it. It was by virtue of its prestige that Gloom Crystal City was able to gain a foothold here, and other city-states would never dare to provoke a pure-blooded dragon clan if they did not know that the Gloom Spirit Dragon was dead.
There are a total of six priests in the Dragon Temple who can access the dragon's information, and they are also six gifted wizards. These people were brought up by Otis when he was a child in the temple, teaching them to read, teaching them to sense spiritual powers, and even watching the older ones marry wives and have children...... Otis is no different from them than he is to his daughter Sally. Unexpectedly, there were still traitors among these disciples.
In the city, Herman, who had just returned from the bottom of the mountain, saw that a dragon servant army posted a notice in a fountain square, and at the same time preached to the people, informing the citizens that due to the ferocity of the monsters, the dragon servants are now collecting temporary members to go down the mountain to hunt monsters, and the knights can get 1 D-grade power stone every day, and the wizard can get 5 pieces per day. Each first-level Warcraft killed will reward ten D-level power stones, 10 to 100 C-level power stones for second-level Warcraft, and 100 B-level power stones for third-level Warcraft.
Kill a total of ten demonic beasts, and you can learn the Dragon Servant Army's secret dragon scale strength.
Kill a total of 20 heads, you can exchange for a D-level fighting skill, or a higher power secret skill.
……
Herman was surrounded by the crowd, and seeing that the dragon scale was already very moved, he thought for a moment, and asked the vortex knight, "If I want a map near Dark Crystal City, how many monsters do I need to hunt?" ”
Ask about the map - Outlander?
The whirlpool knight's eyes sank, but he found that he couldn't see Herman's strength at all, so he replied honestly: "I don't know, I can only go back and ask the chief." If you can afford to wait, I'll get back to you by this time tomorrow. ”
Herman nodded: "Looking forward to your reply!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, and in the square, the eyes of several people fell on him, and when they saw him leaving, they quietly squeezed out of the crowd and followed.
Even in the city, there are many dark alleyways, and Herman picks one at random, walks in and turns to stand still.
Sure enough, after a while, the four source knights also followed.
Herman was unhurried, leaning against the wall and whispering, "Everyone, want to find fault? ”
The knight at the head was an old knight who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and the world, and he rationally stopped at a safe distance with his companions, and then said: "Don't misunderstand your friend, we are here to talk about cooperation." If you're going to accept an offer of employment in Gloom City, we might as well be together. ”
"Together? Why? Herman did not refuse, and continued to ask, "There are so many of you, there is only one on my side, if there is a conflict in the future, it will definitely be me who will suffer, why do you make me trust you?" ”
The old knight was very honest and said, "Because our goal is also a map. ”
"Maps?" The boy raised an eyebrow.
The old knight nodded and pointed to his companion behind him: "We were originally mercenaries from Gloom Crystal City, and we have escorted the small caravan behind the temple caravan to other city-states a few times before, and we found that the caravan was very profitable, so we wanted to try our hand at business." The most important thing to do business in the dark world is the cost and a safe route, we have already had the capital, and now we can almost guide the caravan to the map of other city-states, but this kind of thing temple has always been secret, even if this time it is willing to be released, the asking price must be very high, I think it is extremely difficult to complete it with personal strength alone, I just saw that my friend is good in the square, so I want to find you to cooperate. I don't know what you think? ”
"Maps are not something that can only be used by one person, and we will find more people to cooperate with in the future, so friends don't have to worry about us being alone."
Herman thought for a moment, and instead of agreeing, he asked, "Where can I find you?" ”
A smile appeared on the old knight's face, and he smiled and said an address before leaving with his companion.
Because when this kind of thing is usually said, the other party has already made a decision.
