Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Eagle Cliff Cave
Eagle Bluff.
It is one of the few peaks in the rocky field, poked alone in a group of low and flat mountains, and from a distance, it is like an eagle's head sticking out of the flat ground, which is the landmark terrain of the surrounding area.
What really gives it that name is the figures that often fly around it - the Harpy.
This is a family-style harpy nest, in which there are no less than a hundred harpies, to all the surrounding intelligent life, especially the males, they are disastrous existences, listening to the eagle cliff and change color.
Eagle Cliff is not far from the Black Well tribe in a straight line, only twelve or thirteen kilometers.
But in the complex terrain of the rocks, it is as much as twenty or thirty kilometers to go around and around, especially in the middle is the blood claw of the big goblin tribe that has a grudge against the Black Well tribe.
Speaking of this blood claw, since the trap tribe was escaped by Gavin by stealing beams and replacing pillars, there are no worries, and the noise is really happy, recruiting troops and horses, plundering everywhere, and making a few surrounding mountains, making a lot of trouble.
Gavin made full use of Susie and the Trap tribe, and actively contacted the kobold tribes who were in an increasingly difficult situation in this vicinity, and several tribes were already ready to move to the Black Well tribe.
If you want to pick them up this time, it won't be easy to use if you steal the beams and change the columns, so you have to move the real thing.
Whether it is a former feud or curbing the development of the Black Well Tribe, the Bloodclaw Tribe will not easily let these kobold tribes join the Black Well.
The two tribes were too close together, and it was only a matter of time before conflict and war broke out.
Gavin knew this, and he believed that the leader of the Bloodclaw tribe, Bloodpaw, knew this.
However, this time I sneaked near Eagle Cliff, not to investigate the situation of the Bloodclaw Tribe, but for the mother clan mentioned by Goss, the Eagle Cliff Cave.
This tribe is located in a cave beneath Eagle Cliff.
At its current size, the Black Well tribe cannot be closed doors, but needs to establish a lot of diplomatic relations - with kobolds.
Eagle Cliff Cave is the first one.
When Gavin arrives at Eagle Bluff with Goss and the goblin sorcerer Vic, it's already late in the evening, and there's just a fierce war going on here—an air battle.
On one side is the nester Harpy above Eagle Cliff, and on the other side is the burrower kobold below Eagle Cliff.
Kobolds also have an air force.
There are a small number of kobolds who are born with leather wings and have excellent flying ability, and this kind of winged kobold is also known as Ode.
Gavin originally thought that Odo kobolds were very rare, after all, the Black Well tribe had developed until now, and he had not seen a single Oard, which was rarer than kobold warlocks.
But the situation in front of him overturned his cognition.
The people circling and flying around the Eagle Cliff were all this kind of winged kobolds, no less than two or three hundred, and with the support of the ground troops, they were circling around the Eagle Cliff and fighting guerrilla warfare with dozens of harpies.
When it comes to air combat capabilities, the Harpys are definitely superior, their body structure is more suitable for flying, they have faster speed, and their hands and feet have evolved into Eagle Claws, which are easier to tear and grasp.
But the kobolds, on the other hand, have not only a numerical advantage, but also a terrain advantage.
The name of the Eagle Cliff Cave is not blown, they are about to dig the Eagle Cliff into a beehive, and they have carved countless holes on the irregular columnar cliff body.
Once those Odo kobolds saw the wrong thing, they immediately shrank their leather wings and burrowed into the nearby cave, the harpy did not dare to chase them in, once they entered this small space melee combat, they would not have any advantage.
Within a few minutes, the Odo kobold emerged from another hole, threw stones and flapped his wings, and joined the battle again.
Obviously, the caves are connected inside.
The Harpy's sharpest weapon, the Song of Temptation, obviously doesn't work for these kobolds.
Needless to say, these kobolds must have plugged their ears like Gavin and them, and if they hadn't done so, those Odo kobolds would have fallen to the ground like dumplings.
Harpy is hard to catch, like a loach-like Odo kobold.
It is difficult for the Erd kobolds to inflict fatal damage on the harpy with only daggers and throwing stones, even if a certain amount of damage is accumulated, those harpies, as soon as they turn around, fly back to the eagle's nest, and those winged kobolds dare not chase.
No matter how you look at it, this is like a daily harassment war, and it has not developed to the extent of a bloody battle regardless of life and death.
For the Ode kobolds, this error tolerance rate is obviously much lower, and the slightest mistake can be fatal.
An Ode kobold, after successfully sneaking up on a harpy, couldn't dodge in time, and was caught by the other party on the leather wing, and his flying posture was immediately affected.
The harpy, who was originally careless, immediately screamed and launched a sharp counterattack, not directly pounced on the Odo kobold, but flew to the nearest cave first, waiting for the Odo kobold to deliver it to the door himself.
Forced to be helpless, the Odo kobold could only flee in other directions.
The Harpy repeats her old trick and makes up her mind not to let the little reptile back into the dog hole, and it won't be long before she can enjoy a delicious dog meat feast.
The wounded Ode kobold, staggering and forced farther and farther away from the Eagle Cliff Cave, had no choice but to fly down, trying to pass through the hole in the ground and return to the Eagle Cliff Cave.
With a cruel smile, the harpy chased after her, and that look, like a cat that played with rats, rushed up from time to time to claw and struck.
The wounded Ode kobold, gritting his teeth and refusing to let out any screams, he has been at war with these cruel harpies for many years, and knows very well their sadistic nature, any screams will only provoke them more fun and make them more tyrannical.
The wounded Ode kobold who was in a desperate situation suddenly lit up, and behind a boulder below, a kobold leaned out of half of his thin body and was waving at him.
Is there an ambush from below?
The wounded Ode kobold couldn't care so much anymore, and flew crookedly in that direction.
As long as it lands, as long as it lands, there is still hope for life.
Harpies are weak in melee combat on the ground, and they will never get too close to the ground, especially after seeing other kobolds.
Not only did the wounded Odd see the kobold, but so did the harpy.
She stopped playing and was ready to carry out the final killing.
On her beautiful face, a strange smile mixed with holiness and cruelty floated, and an incomparably beautiful magical movement emanated from her mouth, and the magic net trembled, sending this beautiful, seductive song to the ears of every creature within a hundred meters of the surroundings, and many creatures who had been hiding in the shadows shakily walked out.
"Wake up." Gavin felt his cheeks receive a small punch like a cone stab, and suddenly broke away from his state of confusion.
The song of temptation really lives up to its name, but it is simply plugged into the ears, but it is not completely blocked.
If it weren't for the spirit crystal servant Artoria who gave Gavin a punch, their carefully designed ambush plan would have been stranded, not to mention, he would have been exposed to the claws of the harpy, he believed that according to his body and face, the temptation of the harpy was definitely higher than that of the wounded Erd.
Gavin shuddered a little when he thought of the males, captured alive by the Harpys, and the tragic ending - the Harpies had no males, and their mating was done by capturing males of other humanoid races.
