The gilded main hall is more than ten stories high, and the large multi-faceted glazed windows on the eight walls reveal a brilliant brilliance, like a magnificent rainbow illuminating the bright marble floor inlaid with gemstone flowers, filling the open and towering hall with exotic brilliance.

But the guests of honour seated at several elegant long tables had slightly gloomy faces. On the family throne composed of eleven metal staffs, the Duke with a multicolored gemstone head ring had blue bags under his eyes, and his brows were twisted: "Reinforcements will not arrive for a while." If you don't support me now, if they break the city, you won't be able to get those debts back. Anyway, you've already got a batch on credit~~~"

"Don't tell me about this!!" The black-skinned woman Zhuoer on the long table on the left roared like a lion in Hedong: "I gave you that batch of arms on credit because I fell for you, and now I don't have any money, so I don't want to come a second time!!" Her face is also clear and beautiful, but there is a natural poisonous attitude between her eyebrows and eyes, which makes it difficult for people to have the idea of getting close. The originally smooth silver long hair wore a hideous golden spider-like headdress, its unfolded sharp claws and six eyes shining with a faint purple demonic light, which made the poisonous face look even more weird, making people feel far away. And what she said was even more cold: "I have already investigated clearly, and the reinforcements you mentioned do not exist at all! They just want you to fight to the death with the puppet king, and then they sit back and enjoy it! There will be no reinforcements at all!!"

"Priest Motia, don't be impatient. The Duke said in a deep voice, "I don't know anything about the rest of the world, but Virgin City is still under my control, and I've sent people there to raise money for the rebellion." They are all sensible people, and the citizens do not want to continue to live in the shadow of the puppet king. Soon there will be ~~~"

"That's enough!" said Motia, the priestess of Drow, with a slight fuss, "you are not sincere at all! Virgin City is in your territory, but the citizens there are scheming and disloyal merchantists! I won't die with you!, and I've heard they're against you, too!"

"That's just some people who can't get on the stage!" the Duke argued loudly, "The real influence is a few big families. They don't want their property to be plundered by the barbarians!", but this was also debunked by Mortya: "Don't think I'll be fooled again! I know a little bit - those big families, although they originated in Virgin City, have already done business throughout the Olivier Kingdom. If necessary, they will also abscond with the money in advance!"

Damn merchants!! Although these guys also have a lot of land and property, more interests come from commerce, and they can leave with gold and silver as soon as there is a stir, which is far less reliable than the nobles of the various fiefdoms, at least once the fiefdom nobles pat their butts and leave. It is tantamount to giving up the most important property - land. Damn, the old king was right to restrain these wealthy merchants. These white-eyed wolves will only add icing on the cake, and will never be a charcoal in the snow.

When he thought of the old king who was hacked to death by the two kings, the two kings who were blinded and locked up in the dungeon, and the three kings who were blinded by the two kings but were overridden by the grand dukes from all walks of life, the grand duke's heart was mixed. It was still a whole back then, but now it's like it. It's completely a mess! Just buy some foreign mercenaries with money and dare to invade the country and plunder the city. And these dead ghosts, Drow, simply think of themselves as emperors!

He sighed mentally, not only Zhuoer, but also all kinds of 'emperors' from all walks of life gathered from abroad. Even the big families in Virgin City want to be the emperor. was frowning, and suddenly heard the butler's high voice: "It doesn't matter if those wall grasses run out." Because the Austrian Federation is the !! that supports us"

The white jade gate of the hall creaked open, and slowly entered a Naga nobleman with a human upper body and a lower body as a snake, and his hair was long and fluttering with magical power.

"Hahahaha," said Motya, the Drow priest, laughed, "You Naga are considered the Arcane Federation, which is funny!"

"We have people at the top of the Arcane Federation!" The voices of the half-human, half-snake magic Naga nobles all implied mana and were as loud as a bell, but the black skin Mortia diagonally opposite was not afraid, she unfolded the light of majesty, and the whole person was shrouded in divine brilliance, and suddenly it was majestic. It's like a divine messenger: "We also have people at the top of the Arcane Federation! Mantismen, cat people, green spirits, mind snatchers, and bastards are all at the top of the Arcane Federation! This is a fart! The Olivier Kingdom has become a hunting ground, and whoever has the ability will occupy it! This is the true intention of the Arcane Federation." ”

"You're guessing!" Magic Naga is also female. At this time, he was so angry that his long hair was fluttering, and his magic was shining all over his body, and he looked like he was going to use magic to hit people. But Mortia was not afraid at all: "If it were not for the acquiescence of the Apollis Federation, how could the Apolis Foundry Society intervene in this way? So do you. ”

"You're taking it for granted. Magic Naga and several of her gargoyle servants sat down at the gilded and luxurious table on the right, and although there was beauty on their sharp features like knives, they were more mean smiles: "Anyway, we offer a loan to the Grand Duke." Grand Duke, you can use this loan to buy arms from us. ”

"Good!!" There was not much joy in the Grand Duke's voice, because he knew that the 'interest' on such a loan must be very costly! Perhaps, this is exactly what the Magical Naga have been waiting for.

Mortya's face was gloomy, anxious, and timid. They have small profits. And you can't be sure who will win, so it's hard to make a decision. In the end, I could only drop a sentence: "Our money, remember to pay it back early." The rest, more on that later. Then he left with the minotaur and the bear goblin attendant.

Out of the towering hall of Don Juan, a subordinate stepped forward to remind: "The magic nagas are very strong, especially the arcane items made by zuò are very good, with their support, this duke can win eighty percent." If we reject him too soon, we may lose our future business. Mortia cheered herself up: "What are you afraid of! Now the barbarians are very powerful, the steel-maned hairy pig who wrote the "Regang Law Body" killed the prime-aged blue dragon with three punches. Strength should not be underestimated. There is also the Apolis Foundry Association behind the scenes, and this matter will not end lightly. We can do both. ”

The drow squire shrugged his shoulders, the steel-maned hairy pig killed the blue dragon, it was taking advantage. Brute fighters are not afraid of lightning attacks. It just happened to defeat the blue dragon, so there was a fluke element in victory. But the people in charge are so persistent, it's not good for me to say much. Out of this majestic fortress built across the mountain, Mortia ordered a few people to stand and observe, and the rest moved to Virgin City: "Where to find out where the wind is going, maybe the grass on the walls of Virgin City." In the stalemate between the two armies, he compromised with the old prince and gave the duke a backhand. Hmph, it's hard to say this kind of thing. ”

+++++++++++++++++++++

There is a strange four-story house in Virgin City, which is completely covered with verdant vines, blooming colorful flowers of different colors, and exuding a calming and mosquito-repellent scent, which is very intimate. When I entered the first floor, it was like going to a grocery store. Spices, wood bronze armor, large and small wooden bronze shields, or other utensils, as well as a few potions—special potions made by Rokko Jinwei for system, agility, and strength. It's more than twice as strong as the same mage!, so it's very popular.

There were a few out-of-town merchants, including a few wax-covered frogmen and eyeless cavemen, haggling with a burly old man in wooden bronze armor. It looks like a souvenir shop. But on the second floor, there is a one-and-a-half-height wooden statue, and the goddess Mei Kaili is holding a majestic halberd in one hand and a clay pot for cultivating seedlings in the other, exuding a faint aura of adapting to the elements, so that the whole building is under the mana of 'adapting to the elements', no matter how much you wear, you feel like spring.

This is the newly built stronghold + trade point of the Mae Kaili Church. Although the facilities are rudimentary. But it's finally 'organized'. In a room guarded by earth and air elements on the third floor, Grimm communicated to Dong Hezi: "I want to tell you good news!" said the mage classmate. Brute fighters can practice skills similar to 'telepathic connection', but the distance is very limited, only more than a thousand feet. ”

And Dong Hezi in the crystal magic mirror also said: "This is very good, the barbarians form a squad to fight, and the combat effectiveness is stronger." I also have epoch-making good news - in "Lei Gang Law Body", there is a method to lead thunder into the body in the advanced stage. Get a huge amount of energy all at once. Now I changed it. Changed to absorb the energy of electric spells as soon as you reach the middle level. As long as the barbarians have electric wands or potions on them, they will be replenished with energy, and they can use their acceleration, wind leap, and soul-shaking roar. High-level barbarians can also absorb electricity and unleash their Thunderbolt Iron Fist, Thunder Crit, etc. It's helpful for them to keep fighting. The new copy was placed in the box of the next shipment and was delivered. ”

Grimm was puzzled: "This~~~ This is also an epoch??" but saw Dong Hezi nodding affirmatively: "In the past, barbarians were all country people who practiced skills by relying on their muscles and muscles alone. It can't directly use the energy between heaven and earth, so it's far behind the mage priest and so on. Now you can directly use electric energy, and you will become a real demonic martial arts dual cultivation. Moreover, in the future, if the barbarians want to have sustained combat effectiveness, they will have to rely on electric energy, and the cheapest electric energy comes from our elemental fusion array, and the construction and maintenance of the elemental aggregation circle requires a large number of people to divide labor and cooperate. Therefore, in the future, the barbarians will become more and more dependent on urbanized communities and social cooperation. And their skills are just right for urban warfare. The barbarians will gather from the countryside to the cities, and whoever can win them in advance will be able to take some initiative in the future. ”

Grimm 'oh' for a moment, then added, "But I have another piece of bad news: the barbarians summon the air elemental to correct the flight of the axe. But the effect is not good, even if there is a qi element cultivation, it is still four out of ten. Dong Hezi frowned: "The short-handled throwing axe I gave you was specially designed by me, how could it be so bad? ”

Grimm raised his arm and made a throwing axe movement: "That's it." But their accuracy is too poor, and they don't know where to go. The primordial qi element on the flying axe is also repaired, and it does not come back. Dong Hezi was surprised: "You 'throw' the flying axe out??!! oh my God! The flying axe is 'pushed' out!!"

Dong Hezi in the mirror made a movement: "Use the waist to push the back, the back to push the shoulder, the shoulder to push the upper arm, and the upper arm to push the forearm, just like a poisonous snake catapulting and attacking, and it will be launched instantly." Finally, the forearm is accompanied by a 'throw' movement. That is: to push the main, to throw as a supplement. You're doing it upside down! Throwing your arms up, of course it's hard to aim at the target. ”

It turns out that there is still this skill! Master Ge suddenly realized, and when he was done, he went to the suburbs to tell the barbarians. The barbarians have green energy in their hands, and they have short-handled throwing axes made of all iron in their hands. This time, the '唪唪~~' successive 'pushes' out, and sure enough, the head is much stronger! The axe qi element is adjusted again, and it basically hits the target 150 feet (50 meters) away.

The barbarians laughed and were very happy, and heard that the next batch of munitions would be hidden in ordinary cargo and transported to Virgin City, and there was also a version that absorbed electricity. All of a sudden, these 'heroes' had a whim: "There are all these good things." Let's do something big—— sneak up on those Pegasus!!"

Die a big death, you guys!" Master Ge was about to object, but he heard them start arguing about the plan: "First send our miniature qi elements to fly to the duke's fortress to find out where Pegasus is." Wait for the opportunity to go in and slaughter them all!" Another said: "If they are well defended and cannot be slaughtered, then the next time they go out of the city to fight, we will lie in ambush in the middle of the road." Kill him by surprise!Master Ge, you need to get us more throwing axes and electric magic wands!"

Master Ge's mind lit up: If you lose, you will die, and if you win, I will also benefit. Then he said, "No problem, if you don't have a chance to enter the fort, I can go and talk to Prince Alex and ask him to arrange a false attack, and you will wait outside the enemy's fortress and attack as soon as you see the Pegasus troops coming out." ”

Night. The barbarians, including the fellow 'mage classmate', followed the path into the woods on the mountainside near the enemy's tall fortress, and several barbarian fighters who had cultivated the 'miniature qi element' body released a breeze-sized qi element. Before entering, as soon as you get close to the barrier, you will perceive layers of arcane surveillance and hidden energy, and if you touch the monitoring, you will be attacked by the 'Lightning Summoning Technique' and attract a large number of guards.

Although the miniature qi element was small, it didn't dare to go too deep, and only searched around the periphery to find out the place where the pegasus was kept in captivity. It was the size of a basketball arena. There are also archery towers in the four corners, and there are special people with the eyes of 'detection magic' to check day and night. Fortunately, the 'Micro Qi Element' is a derivative of supernatural forces. There was no magical aura, so it went undiscovered.

"Damn! it's tighter than the griffin sentry of the people. The barbarians scolded and retreated, and asked Master Ge to exercise the second plan. Master Ge found the prince in the middle of the night, secretly recited the matter, and repeatedly emphasized: "This matter must not be known to the people of Ratsyraka, otherwise they may be in trouble." These people are too high-flying. It's not good to rely too much on them. I think that the general's ambition is not small, and if he dares to give up his power, honor, and prestige in the country, then his intentions must be greater! I am afraid that a duke will not satisfy him! Besides, those under his command are also tantamount to treason, and they have suffered great losses, if they cannot make a fortune with us. These are all fire and thunder that can explode at any time. Be careful. On the contrary, those barbarians, who are accustomed to living a precarious life, as long as they are given some benefits and status, they are more reliable than those people. ”

When the prince heard this, he was even more worried, and he already suspected that the general had the intention of 'ceding the land and becoming king', but he did not say anything: "The ability of the barbarians is still limited, and it cannot be compared with the structure." Grimm stepped forward and said, "If you can kill the enemy's Pegasus troops this time." And how do you say that?"

The prince muttered, "You can let them form an army on their own, and as long as they are loyal to me, they can be treated properly." It's just ~~~~" Grimm immediately guessed what it was just - where the money was!! The prince didn't have his own property, the tax system was in shambles, and many places relied on indulgence in looting the city to 'pay bonuses'. This team is very chaotic, and it really has no future.

Master Ge has his own trick: "You can contact the Xinghan Society, this chamber of commerce can lend you money to pay your salary." All you need is your approval for them to use some mountain forests that are free of fields and minerals. It is a mountain forest without fields and minerals. They earn money from tree planting and interforestation. ”

"Is there really such a good thing?" the prince grasped the straw suspiciously, and soon several tall gray-haired Rokko guards brought by Master Ge stood in front of the prince, each holding a golden heavy staff, surrounded by the four colors of earth, water, fire and wind, or with a unique four-foot bow on his back, or a nine-ring golden knife hanging from his waist. At first glance, you can see that it is a high-ranking person.

They showed the prince the token and the deed. The prince said, "You are the disciples of the goddess Mekelly, what is the relationship between this Xinghan Society and the goddess Maykelly? Although there are some industries, the business affairs are complex and the interests are quite large. If it is mixed in the meeting, it may cause people to put the cart before the horse and run to specialize in business. Therefore, a separate chamber of commerce was formed outside the church. Our church has a big stake, and we are special members of the chamber of commerce. ”

The prince ordered his attendants and his personal mages to come. This agreement was signed after the matter was determined.

On this day, the prince ordered the army to make a move, and some of the newly arrived mercenaries were sent out to cross the bridge. In the enemy castle between the mountains, the dozens of Pegasus troops gathered together and flew away with all kinds of spell wands. In order to avoid detection, they flew close to the treetops as they had done the previous times.

Just flew out of the fort two thousand feet. Just as he was about to turn around and bomb the bridge deck, he suddenly heard a violent "!! up" below, and a swishing figure with thick arms rushed up below! The brute fighters rushed into dozens of flying horses like cannonballs, and there was a thunderous 'soul-shaking roar'. Rao is Pegasus cavalry is all arcane soldiers, with high will immunity and mana protection, and more than a dozen of them were shocked for a while.

In an instant, they were slashed by the sword and axe of the brute fighters! The men and horses screamed and fell to the ground with blood splashed, while the other Pegasus cavalry hurriedly rode their horses and flew into the distance, only to hear the brute fighters who were behind shouting "Kill them!" again, and then flew out one after another fierce spinning axes, slashing at the men and horses as if they had eyes!

The axes were all cast of pure iron and weighed several pounds. It's like being hit hard by a starhead hammer! In an instant, another man howled and wounded a dozen or so people. They were unable to fly or have difficulty fighting, and were beaten by a burst of swords and axes from behind the brute fighters who rushed towards them, and they were killed in an instant.

The remaining dozen or so Pegasus knights had already flown sixty or seventy feet away, but they were still quickly caught up by dozens of heavy throwing axes, except for a few who had used the 'Wind Shield Technique' to protect the people and horses, and barely deflected the axe blades, and the others were all slashed! Rao is armor was also cut off, and blood flowed out. The unarmored Pegasus beneath them was cut into the bones and screamed and screamed. Wobbly and falling. The person who is not only the wind shield protector also has a long bloody mouth that has been slashed on the body of a horse and pulled out scarlet!

When the Pegasus leader shouted "Move!!!". The third round of throwing axes slashed after them like a torrential rain! Rao was a maneuver in the sky with their flying horses swaying left and right, but the heavy axes that chased after them still swooped down on them like evil beasts with eyes.

Most people, with armor and spells, are not too seriously injured. But Pegasus, in order to maintain agility and speed in the air, did not wear armor. The injury was not shallow, and he lost his speed at once. The brute fighters behind took advantage of the momentum and chased after them, galloping like fierce tigers, which frightened the Pegasus knights: "Why are they still flying? Doesn't it mean that they only fly for a minute or two at most??!" In a panic, they didn't care about anything. Directly take out a large range of spell scrolls, and smash the 'Ice Storm, Burst Fire Thunder, and Acid Arrow Rain' at the brute fighters who rushed like flying tigers. Some people even used high-priced 'flying high-fives' to fight for their lives, and some people thought they were smart enough to cover the brute fighters with 'psychic fog'.

This time, the 'Psychic Mist' or something was basically useless against the brute fighters in the form of the storm incarnation, and although the flying high-five slapped two or three brute fighters, the number of brute fighters who flew over was already fifty or sixty! They instantly launched an 'air maneuver' like a large swarm of wild hornets.

Bang bang!!Bang bang!!!!Continuous spell explosions bloomed in the air like multicolored giant flowers, and although they injured a dozen or so brute fighters who were not able to maneuver, many more brute fighters scattered in all directions, avoiding the main attack, and only suffered minor injuries. More brute fighters in the rear also pursued him, forming a situation of more than eighty brute fighters against ten Pegasus knights!

The fourth round of flying axes with eyes and 'wings' whistling and splitting!

Poof!!Pong!!Poof!!Puff!Puff!!

"Ha !!" The magic warrior came with a deafening 'soul-shaking roar'!!

+++++++++++++++++++++

At the giant bridge, the two armies were fighting fiercely, and more than a hundred people suddenly flew sideways above the enemy fortress, and they shot down some low-level plastic energy spells like a large hornet of purgatory, and damaged two defense towers with a 'bang, bang, bang'. The people on the prince's side were angry: "It's those brute fighters!! They really killed the Pegasus Knights! How can they keep flying? Oh my God, like mages!"

A few wisps of triumph appeared on the faces of the princes watching the battle, the deal with the Xinghan Society was really good, their Rokko Divine Guard could indeed use supernatural power to 'evade detection' to avoid the enemy's prophecy spells, and then find out the usual attack route of the Pegasus troops to launch a deadly ambush. And the brute fighters who have learned the 'lightning charge' can repeatedly perform the 'Wind Leap' and stay in the air for a long time, and they are now flying around to kill~~~~~ hehe, it looks like a combination of a gargoyle and an orc axeman.

He laughed even more obviously: the best thing is that the barbarians are much cheaper than the Pegasus troops, and they buy a group of gargoyles + half-orcs axemen for three or four percent of the money. I'm definitely making a lot of money.

Of course, you can't exalt them too much, otherwise you will lose control. Let them fight with the people of Ratsiraka, and I will have a chance to make a profit!
