Chapter 60: The First Battle (I)
After midnight, it rained as Chang Hao said, and the rain was so heavy that it seemed to flood the whole world. The Guangmino infrastructure is equipped with a sound drainage system, and the rainfall is still under control.
A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating the pitch-black figure that had set up an ambush on the back slope.
The bear-man warriors who let the rain wash over their bodies had already put on leather armor and held heavy swords on the door panels, and they followed the boss close to the back slope without saying a word, and the cold rain could not extinguish the burning desire to fight in their eyes.
"It's raining so hard that you can't even see anything 50 meters away from the sentry corner, the sound and smell of the rain is a natural protection, and it's very likely that those guys from the Troll Tribe will take advantage of this rainstorm to launch a surprise attack on us, as the boss said. Herbert said as he wiped the rain from his face.
"No matter how cunning those trolls are, they are not as good as our boss. Panta winced his eyebrows, and his ass became more and more perfect.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Panta has already evacuated the pandaren who were on duty on the sentry corner. The sentry tower is isolated and helpless in the night, and it is absolutely lifeless to be attacked by trolls, so it is better to deliberately sell a flaw to let the opponent relax his vigilance.
In addition to the bear and panda people, who were waiting for the rabbits, the monks were supposed to apply to fight, but Chang Hao rejected them, and they were given the task of protecting the women and children. Chang Hao is planning to have a tough encounter this time, and he must test whether the power in his hands can shake the two troll tribes now.
Emilia stood beside Chang Hao in a magician's robe. The waterproof mage robe was blown tightly against her body by the strong wind, outlining her graceful curves one after another, and she held her staff tightly in her arms.
She's the undisputed magic boss of Bright Wild, and tonight she'll be providing ranged magical fire support to Herbert and Panta's stormtroopers.
The big guys all know that the boss made a lot of magic crystals in the Warcraft Forest some time ago, and the number of magic crystals in that pile is simply staggering, if it is converted into gold coins, that number will be moved even if he is the governor of the northern provinces.
In addition to the taxes of the major provinces and territories, the financial revenue of the orc kingdom still depends on the export of various ores, rare precious metals, animal skins and magic crystals.
Although the smelting technology of the orc kingdom is backward, it is superior to the vast territory and vast resources. The Iron Hills where the dwarves gather need to consume a lot of metal resources every year, and the mages of the Human Empire also need a lot of high-quality magic crystals. Therefore, the kingdom council and the temple at that time began to export to foreign countries hundreds of years ago in line with the business concept of "I can't use it up anyway, I might as well sell it".
It is recorded in the historical documents of the Human Empire that the upper echelons of the Orc Kingdom were willing to exchange tons of high-quality magic crystals for advanced smelting technology to break the technical barriers, but they were refused. The Orc Kingdom strongly condemned and protested against this "false" account, believing that the Human Empire was clearly created out of nothing.
Returning to the bright field, half of those magic crystals were given to Weishui Jianlu, and some were exchanged for gold coins to buy back hundreds of sets of leather armor and food, and the remaining high-quality magic crystals were all given to Emilia by Chang Hao.
The quality of these magic crystals is naturally inferior to the crystals he gave to Emilia Flame Dragon before. Although the Dragon's Crystal can increase the caster's magic power and speed up the chanting of magic, it also has the drawback that it cannot store the caster's own mana.
The Dragon's Crystal is a dragon's will, a strong and arrogant will that will not allow the magic of the weak to coexist with it, so Emilia can't store a little bit of her own magic in it until she reaches enough height.
But these magic crystals brought back by Chang Hao are different, the magic power in them can be extracted by the owner and then add his own magic power to form a unique magic circuit.
To put it bluntly, these crystals are like cups full of various drinks, and you can pour out the drinks you don't like and replace them with the ones that suit your taste.
What are the magicians fighting each other?
It's all about the power of magic, the chanting speed of magic, and the amount of magic.
The cultivation of the Kyushu immortal cultivators is not only to improve their cultivation, but most importantly, to break the shackles of life and seek immortality. In contrast, Western magicians are much more pure, and the essence of their level improvement is to increase the power of magic and the speed of chanting, as well as the amount of magic stored in themselves, which is simple and crude.
And in the simple and crude magical environment of Middle-earth, it is natural that there will be smart people who will find another way, which has also derived the method vigorously advocated by a certain unscrupulous lord in the bright field - equipment crushing.
A magus who can cast forbidden spells is awe-inspiring, but an intermediate mage who is rich enough to squander high-quality magic crystals as jelly beans is no small to be reckoned with.
Emilia is a good match, and she's been infusing the shard for all this time.
In addition to the Flame Dragon Crystal at the top, her staff was inlaid with countless shining magic crystals from head to tail, which could simply blind people's eyes.
Herbert the Bear swears that this is the most extravagant wand he can imagine, and any magician of the Human Empire will go crazy at the sight of it!
As long as two magic crystals can make the magic circuit in her body from dry and exhausted to full of floods, and now Amilia's strength is far better than before, directly turning into a humanoid spell machine gun, which is why Chang Hao agreed to let her participate in the war.
"I'm going to try not to fight tonight, I'm going to see what your real combat power is. Chang Hao turned to the two followers and said, "I have all set your names, Herbert's bear-man troops are called Sparta, and Panta's panda-man troops are called rangers. ”
Emilia on the side smiled knowingly, it was really an apt name.
"What does Sparta mean, boss?" asked Herbert.
"Sparta is for us, and only the bravest and strongest men deserve the title. Chang Hao remembered the movie Spartan 300 Warriors he had watched.
"That's not to say, we're not Spartans!" Herbert was very pleased with the name chosen by his boss, and the bears behind him also roared.
"Rangers, boss, where are our Pandaren warriors' mounts?" Panta, who didn't know why, looked around stupidly, and Herbert punched him twice.
"The fighting styles of your two teams are very different, and it is not easy to expand in the future, it just so happens that I have always advocated that raising soldiers is not expensive, so take the route of elite soldiers, as long as you can each fight one against a hundred, I can't afford to raise so many soldiers. Wouldn't it be better for me to smash all of those resources on you?" Chang Hao directly dug his heart with the two oldest followers.
"Don't worry, boss!"
Herbert and Panta were in tears, and when they met such a good boss, all they could do was to do their best to clear all obstacles in his way for the boss.
What the boss is pointing to is the direction in which Sparta and the Rangers are fighting!
Cook, the leader of the saline troll tribe, stopped before the last back slope of the Bright Field, followed by a large group of burly trolls, the darkness of the night was their cloak, and the pouring rain wiped out their tracks, everything was just right.
Cook wiped his ugly face covered with rain, he almost wanted to look up to the sky and smile, he believed that the troll king Trandel must be protecting him, otherwise why didn't there even be half a guard on the corner tower of the bright field?
It's providence!
For some time, the two tribes of salt trolls and trolls have been testing the new lord. They have been dashing for an unknown number of years, and even the army of Kotav City can't do anything about them, and they naturally don't want to see an extra lord on their heads, so the leaders of the two tribes have temporarily put aside their rivalry with each other and aimed the spearhead at the newcomer lord.
After a few painless attempts, at the cost of just a few swamp goblins, they thought they had figured out what the lord was capable of: a bear-man warrior in his early 100s and a panda-man warrior in his early 100s. As for the humans whose waists are not as thick as their wrists? Those humans are not on their radar at all.
The combined number of trolls in their two tribes is nearly 400, and each of them is a hardcore who has fought against the Kotaav army. They are taller than the bears, stronger than the bears, and have a numerical advantage, so how can they lose?
Speaking of the loot, the most exciting thing for Cook here is the hundreds of human women in the hands of this lord!
The trolls are already sorry for their appearance, and the female trolls are even more sorry for the sorry, which even the trolls themselves can't refute, so they especially like to prey on the females of other races to take back to their nests to eat and give birth to them.
Cook himself once led a team to rob a human caravan.
At that time, he took a fancy to a female escort who was following the caravan, and vented wantonly after stripping the female escort like a lamb in front of everyone. None of the caravan members who were let go could forget the female guard's hoarse cry for help and dark eyes, and they watched as Cook grabbed one of her feet and dragged her back to the troll's lair.
The caravan hadn't seen the female escort since. And since that time, Cook has been particularly interested in the human woman who appeared in the wasteland.
"This time, our two major tribes poured out of the nest, according to the previous agreement, the human women will be given to you, and the weapons and equipment and corpses will be ours. "Zaya, the leader of the Troll Tribe, stepped on the back slope, and as soon as he climbed over the back slope, Bright Wild would be bullied like a naked woman.
"Kill all the men and snatch the women!" Cook screamed, and the trolls behind him rushed up the slope with their white bone sticks in hand.
A thunderbolt tore through the night sky, and Zaya's pupils suddenly contracted.
At the top of the back slope, at some point, groups of figures appeared, high and downward, the corners of their mouths grinning in an arc colder than the night rain.
Herbert spat out the cigar in his mouth, and the heavy sword flipped over and slashed at the troll's head.
