Chapter 56: Dismounting

There was a faint sound of weapons clashing in the wind, but there was no movement again.

The panda people poked their heads out of the sentry tower and shouted, saying that the geological exploration team had been attacked by unknown creatures, and all the bear people's faces suddenly turned blue with anger.

What kind of guy who doesn't have long eyes dares to touch the boss's person?

Chang Hao used his body skills to the extreme on the bright field, and a large number of bear-man warriors followed behind him looked up with a sigh, and found that the boss had already thrown them out of the distance.

On the wasteland, near the high platform where the flint condensed, Ling Xingyi sat in the water soaking wet, his robe was ragged, as if he had experienced a fight, he was panting in shock, and a panda man squatted beside him to help him gently pat his back.

"What's going on?" Chang Hao came by stepping on the wind, and a group of panda people saw that it was the boss who came, and immediately stood up obediently.

"Just now, there were a few swamp goblins hiding in this water and wanted to sneak attack us, and Brother Ling Xing walked relatively far forward and became a target, but fortunately, Brother Ling Xing was not slow to react and protected himself at the first time, and the rest of the guys were knocked to death by us. One pandaman said, pointing to several dead swamp goblins on the edge of the water.

Ling Xingmao, who came with the bear warriors, saw that his younger brother was injured, and he could no longer maintain his usual calm expression, and checked his younger brother's whole body, and found that it was only a skin injury, and finally let go of a big stone hanging in his heart.

Looking at the few sharp short spears on the edge of the water pool, Ling Xingyi couldn't help but be afraid until now. If it weren't for the spell in his arms that automatically cast a protective enchantment, he would have been stabbed in the heart by the swamp goblins.

"These swamp goblins are cunning, they are half-crouched in puddles, breathing through the water with reed rods in their mouths, and it is easy for them to catch their way if they are not careful, but their ability to resist blows is so good that a stone stick can break their backbones. The panda people report their findings to Chang Hao.

Several panda people looked at each other, looking at Ling Xingyi, and they were very upset. To be honest, they did let their guard down a little just now, after all, they had a safe journey when they came to Guangming Ye a few days ago, and they didn't expect these despicable guys to carry out a sneak attack.

Chang Hao carefully examined the corpses of these swamp goblins, and found that their skin was as slippery as a layer of oil, much like the color of the stones at the bottom of the puddle, it was simply a natural camouflage born for sneak attacks, and it was undoubtedly much more difficult than the goblin robbers they had encountered in Gondor before.

"Do you know where these guys are from?" Chang Hao asked as he stood up.

"As we learned when we were in Kotave City before, there are several entrenched tribes in the Bright Field, who often do some robbery of caravans. The pandaman blinked and said, "The army of Kotav City used to liquidate them on a regular basis, but they couldn't stand it every time, but they didn't have much effect every time, so they didn't care about it later." ”

"I'm afraid it's just collecting protection money under the banner of clearing. Chang Hao said.

The panda man touched his round head and smiled, apparently he thought so too.

"Those tribes aren't just swamp goblins, are they? Chang Hao hit the nail on the head.

"Yes boss! Those tribes are said to have the likes of trolls, and they are stronger than ogres. The panda man's expression became serious.

If the opponent is just an ogre, the panda warrior can't make a straight face. Because don't look at the ogre's big head, in fact, the flesh has grown to the stomach, and the limbs don't have much strength. When they were begging for a living in Gondor, they clashed with ogres, and with their excellent joint skills and the final blow of the thunder spear, they never lost.

Trolls are a variant of ogres with many branches, they have ugly faces, but their muscles are stronger, faster, taller, and more intelligent than ogres. This means that if you use the same habitual thinking as you would an ogre, the scales will tip in your favor from the outset.

The tribe of trolls living in the Varonian wasteland includes saline trolls and trolls, and although they are at the bottom of the historical literature of the major races, they are also difficult to deal with many ordinary orc armies.

Chang Hao's divine sense spread out a hundred meters around, and no suspicious existence was found, but there were many places in the wasteland where the grass was knee-deep, and there were many undulating hills blocking it, and no one knew if those trolls would hide on the back slope of a small hill, and when they walked by, they would burst out.

A few swamp goblins almost killed Ling Xingyi, and if it was a troll sneak attack, even the rough-skinned bears and panda people might not be able to survive it.

"The work of geological exploration will be closed today, and safety first. ”

Chang Hao waved his hand and asked everyone to go back first, everyone did not have the comfort and casualness when they first came to Vronian, and they were all cautious on the way back, for fear that a large number of trolls wielding big sticks would pop up from somewhere.

Dinner is Chang Hao's military rations and fragrant fish and shrimp pot brought back from Lonia City, Chang Ge's almost demonic craftsmanship has made the orcs' already astonishing food to a higher level, and the river fresh food counted by tons is only enough for one night's consumption.

The bear man smeared honey on the fish and shrimp, the panda man took out the bamboo rice wine that he was reluctant to drink, and the monks sat upright and ate elegantly, and from time to time added a few shelled sweet shrimp meat to the bowl of the children sitting next to them, and the atmosphere was harmonious and hot.

But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that everyone except women and children is vigilant about the wind and grass around them.

In order to avoid being overtired, the sentries in the corner tower changed shifts every two hours. Both the panda and the bear have excellent night-time vision, and if the troll tribe wants to play a night sneak attack, they will definitely not be able to escape their bright eyes.

The hall was in its infancy, the walls of thick wood kept out the cold wind howling in the moor, and Emilia used fire magic to dry the weeds and make a blanket of dry grass, and the warriors, women and children went to bed early.

Chang Hao called a meeting of all cadres late at night.

"This swamp goblin attack is just a test, and the troll tribes are testing our reaction. The crackling fire lit up Chang Hao's slightly golden eyes, "The native tribes of the Varonian Wasteland want to give us a dismount. ”

"Reverse these bullshit trolls!" Herbert couldn't control his bear temper and stood up and shouted: "Don't trolls also carry a head on two shoulders? How powerful can they be? Knives can't be stabbed or blood can't flow? Boss, you are the lord appointed by the temple and the council, we can't bear to let these turtle grandsons be powerful above our heads!"

"If you make a louder noise, the spitting stars can extinguish my bonfire. Chang Hao glanced at Herbert: "Besides, did I say that I wouldn't clean them up?"

"Oh. Herbert touched his head and sat back embarrassed.

"You must understand a truth, the so-called workers want to do their jobs well, they must first sharpen their tools, and it is also a truth to fight wars, we do not fight unprepared wars, and do not mess up because of a little provocation. Chang Hao's gaze swept over the faces in front of him that were red by the firelight.

"What do you mean by what the boss said? Why does it sound weird?" Herbert smashed Ling Xingyi next to him with his elbow.

"If you're going to fight someone, you have to prepare a weapon at your disposal, or you might be killed. Ling Xingyi rolled his eyes at the bear man.
