lizard lord

Chapter 154 Superposition of Coincidence

Obviously, the lizard man in front of him is not a tour guide, and he has no intention of taking him for a sightseeing tour, so he is not going to talk much.

He recovered to a relatively concealed size, climbed onto the opponent, and prepared to go to the opponent's stronghold.

Tang Zhao has sharp and sharp claws, which are very suitable for embedding into wood and some soft rock walls. In other words, it is suitable for climbing. This place is full of dark green or even black water, and he can ignore such small problems as unsanitary , but he does not have any aquatic specialization, at most he has a relatively large tail, which allows him to swim faster in the water.

In short, it's better to borrow the body of this lizard man and take a ride.

The other party didn't mind Tang Zhao doing this either. He bent down like a crocodile, using his webbed limbs and oversized tail to swim at high speed in the swamp.

Taking this opportunity, Tang Zhao, who was somewhat curious, was also observing the surrounding environment.

It is not much different from what he imagined. It is mainly forest and swamp, the water depth is generally about one meter, and there is not shallow black mud under the water, which is almost the place where black dragons like to inhabit.

The transfer point was not far from the opponent's stronghold, and they arrived at the target point in less than half an hour.

The description Franz used was a "stronghold". At first, Tang Zhao thought it would be a relatively hidden settlement, but he didn't expect it to be a village.

It was built on a mound slightly higher than the surrounding area, surrounded by a fence made of stones and animal bones, which looked solid.Most of the villages are one-story houses, and the building materials are basically earth and stones. The exact size is hard to estimate, but Tang Zhao believes that there will be no more than 500 people.

I didn't see any wood products, because the place is too humid, and ordinary wood will rot in a short time.

When we arrived at the gate of the village, we could see many Lizardmen standing guard, and the weapons they held in their hands were relatively simple—they were basically equipped with bone/stone weapons, and with the shield covered with animal skin, the appearance was very ordinary.

However, their physique of nearly two meters and a body of tendons were placed there. Under the premise of sufficient strength, any weapon could be fatal. Tang Zhao did not despise them.

Obviously they knew that there would be guests visiting. When Tang Zhao passed by, many lizard people stopped their work and stared at Tang Zhao with no emotion.

Tang Zhao didn't care too much about this aggressive gaze, and followed the guide all the way to the center of the camp, which was also the highest point in the surrounding area.

There is a stone house built in the center, which is much larger and stronger than the surrounding houses. This is the residence of their leader.
-
Entering the stone house, Tang Zhao was a little surprised by what he saw with his eyes.

The flat stone wall is covered with some kind of graffiti, the lines are very messy, but if you look closely, it is obvious that the paintings are animals in the swamp.

In the center of the various patterns is a tall lizard man with saffron scales. He is the leader of this tribe, that is, the shaman.

Their tribe does not have tribal chiefs in the popular sense, and shamans are chiefs in the actual sense, and there is no problem. After all, there are many clans with political sacrifices in ancient times.

The other party seemed to have been prepared for a long time. After the guide brought Tang Zhao into the building, he slowly retreated. Only Tang Zhao and the shaman were left on the field.

The shaman pointed to himself: "Red Scale, manage the Red Scale Tribe."

[Understood, I think that old man should have told you all about me, no nonsense.What is the situation now, I need to know. 】

The lizard man whose name seems to be Red Scale nodded, took out a piece of animal skin from under the table, hugged it to the table, and slowly spread it out. The image of the rough painting on it was presented to Tang Zhao.

This is a map, it is indeed a bit crude, but after so long, Tang Zhao is almost used to recognizing simple maps.

Honglin didn't talk much, but he didn't talk nonsense, and basically provided information that Tang Zhao needed to know. It can be seen that their IQ and language organization ability are actually fine, they just don't want to talk.

By the way, the lizardmen speak the same language as the kobolds, which is also the language of the dragon. It is said that it was taught by the dragons a long time ago. They also respect the purebred dragons and will take the initiative to worship these creatures.

Purebred dragons have countless advantages, including wherever they go, there will be loyal younger brothers to follow, most of the time they are reptiles like kobolds and lizardmen, but goblins and humans are not excluded.

The believers of Seth Inech have already reached a certain scale, and are currently attacking several surrounding lizardmen tribes. Two medium-sized tribes have been completely defeated, and the tribesmen have become captives, which are used to enrich the tribe of Seth Inech's followers.

At first Tang Zhao was of course curious. It sounded like the native lizards were working together, and it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the small group of demon believers, but after hearing Honglin's explanation, he understood.

The lizardmen who believed in Seth Inek were not only transformed spiritually, but also received a "little bit" blessing from the demon lord when they were born. They have the upper hand in the war.

It sounds like there is only 1.7 centimeters difference between 1.9-meter and 1.9-meter creatures, but in fact, if you haven’t received much training, a 1.7-meter human can at least deal with three [-]-meter humans. , can push the opponent several steps.

This alone is barely enough to fight. Among the demon believers, there are individuals who proclaim themselves kings and queens. The strength of such individuals is far superior to that of ordinary lizardmen. Summon demons to help.

Even if they were low-level little devils, they couldn't stand the large numbers. Soon the Lizardman coalition army was defeated and had to withdraw. The encirclement and suppression immediately declared a failure.

[Please tell me about how many lizardmen believe in demons. 】

"Four hundred, six hundred. The devil doesn't know, but not many."

[If I mess up the opponent's camp, will the ordinary lizardman slaves held there help me fight? 】

"meeting."

[Can you influence other lizardmen tribes to a certain extent? 】

"Words that are good for them."

[Understood, help me contact some other lizardmen tribes and let them retreat to avoid the battle.I'm going to try the depths of those demon believers. 】

Tang Zhao wanted to explore the situation first and try not to call for reinforcements.

Needless to say, Karak Solma is now at the time of employing people, and he can't mobilize many people. It's useless to pull out some kobolds. The combat ability in the swamp is far inferior to the lizardmen he has now. .

He didn't want to shout at the Church of Heim either—it's unnecessary for a group of heavy infantry to enter the swamp, and Luford's defense is already empty. If the city fell because of helping himself, then he would really be blamed , can not take such unnecessary risks.

Therefore, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself.

Honglin nodded slightly, stood up and left the building with Tang Zhao.
-
Said he was acting alone, Hong Lin still sent him a team of about 15 people, just in case.

A group of people shuttled through the swamp, and soon arrived at the target location, the edge of the demon believer's territory.

It's not far from the village of Red Scale, so it's no wonder that he seeks cooperation with the outside world. I'm afraid they will be the next to suffer.

The small group of lizardmen stayed in place and waited for orders. Tang Zhao, who was shrunk down, swam over to observe the situation.

The smell in the swamp is very strong, but Tang Zhao's sense of smell is also very good, and he successfully locked the target in this environment.

He found a team of demon believers. They were cooking dinner at this moment, which can be said to be quite heavy.

A bucket of dark green swamp water in which pieces of meat were cooking.

Looking at the texture, it is barely recognizable as fish, plant roots and some bugs, not some humanoid intelligent creature.

A meal that is in line with the lizard people's concept, eat whatever you can find.

Tang Zhao took a look at their size, and it was indeed two circles larger than the lizardmen he had seen before.At the same time, the color of their scales is also darker, which is a typical three-point blackening.

He privately decided to call these lizard people "black lizard people", because there are so many demon believers, and it is difficult to distinguish them in the future.

To be honest, he couldn't classify lizard people by body size, because the same species of reptiles was too different.

Comparing the average weight of the largest adult liger with the average weight of the liger, there is of course a gap in the data, but the weight of 50.00% is about the same, and it is very difficult to double, unless the large subspecies is compared with the small subspecies, then the comparison is also Means nothing.

Putting it on crocodiles, the difference between the average weight of super-large crocodiles and crocodiles can easily reach three or four times. Of course, lizard people are not the same as their reptile relatives, but they are also lifelong creatures. It is normal for giant individuals to pop out occasionally.

Judging from what they mean, they don't intend to leave in a short time, and they probably want to camp directly.

Taking this opportunity, Tang Zhao went back the same way and called in his team of lizard men to surround the team of lizard men on the outside. He was going to launch a tentative attack.

Maintaining a small state, Tang Zhao slowly approached the black lizardman team on the high ground from underwater, and when he got close to a distance of about five meters, he quickly switched to a length of about four meters, bursting into the water at an astonishing speed, rushing To the unsuspecting black lizardmen team.

The black lizardman has the same intuition and reaction speed as a wild beast. When he saw an unknown black figure rushing from the water, he immediately entered a state of alert.

Tang Zhao jumped up and bit the throat of one of the black lizardmen, but the opponent dodged in time, and Tang Zhao only hit the arm.

Tang Zhao was a little surprised by the thickness of the opponent's scales - when biting down, there was an obvious sense of obstruction. Even if the body is only four meters long, this bite is not something ordinary people can bear. The hardness of the opponent's scales is completely comparable. Inferior armor.

But after all, he still didn't stop Tang Zhao. He took this opportunity to inject a large amount of venom into the blood vessels of the black lizardman, and then before the opponent's companion's spear came.He let go in time to evade.

The main task has already been completed, and if it is too late, things will change. Tang Zhao doesn't want to procrastinate any longer.

Using his psychic power, Tang Zhao cut off their throats one by one while the other party was in a trance, leaving only two black lizard men - one seemed to be the captain, the tallest, and the equipment was slightly less It's better, the one who was injected with venom is left, and he wants to test the poison resistance of the black lizardman.

After doing all this, the lizardmen lurking around also came over with great interest and helped Tang Zhao control the two captives.

After all, this is the enemy's territory. After discovering that the patrol team lost contact, the other party would send someone over to check the situation. Tang Zhao didn't dare to make things difficult for the newcomers, and let the lizardmen take the prisoners and leave by themselves.

He still needs to stay for a while, to find out more information.
-
It was obvious that no key information could be obtained from the other party. Leaving aside the stubbornness of the demon believers, the Lizardman had a strict tone, and Red Scale didn't look like he would interrogate at all.

Tang Zhao was not disappointed, adjusted his state, and continued to advance deep into the black lizardman's territory, wanting to reach the opponent's camp.

He intends to observe the situation, and if necessary, he can directly raid the opponent's camp.

But soon, he changed the plan, because the size of the camp was obviously wrong.

In the eyes, there are continuous camps, spreading from one highland to another, connected with each other by wooden pontoon bridges in the middle, judging from the experience accumulated after Tang Zhao crossed, there must be at least 2000 people.

【Even with the same number of captives, it is absolutely impossible to have so many. This is a swamp and cannot support too many people.】

Halfway through the thought, Tang Zhao shrank his eyes slightly, staring at the few flags planted on the high ground.

That was the banner of the Bloodfist hobgoblins, a powerful clan of hobgoblins.

As soon as he saw the banner, Tang Zhao knew that he and Franz had miscalculated—the hobgoblin clans received corresponding missions every year, which meant that the clans that were more powerful would receive them. What a task.

Obviously, Karak Solmar didn't need the first-class clan to face it, and the dwarves and elves who supported them were almost the same.

Now they saw a neat hobgoblin army camp in the swamp, which meant that they wanted to bypass the swamp to attack, but the main target was not Tang Zhao and the others.

One is two choices, and the rest is only human beings.

With Luford's strength, it would be difficult to deal with these black lizardmen alone, let alone deal with hobgoblins.Even if they can't bring any heavy equipment to cross the swamp, they can catch humans by surprise.

Tang Zhao wasn't even worried about the Bloodfist hobgoblin itself.

[A combat force of less than 2000 people will definitely not be able to deal with a well-prepared human sub-legion, but they still plan to attack, either because they are more confident in their own capabilities and have further support in the future, or they know that the legion is dispatched. The news is gone.]

If it's the latter, it means that there are rapes in Oran, and they are tipping off the hobgoblins.

If this is the case, then the pressure faced by the royal family of Oran is a bit too great: demons and human nobles who are not completely suppressed in the territory, hobgoblins and orcs outside the country, and maybe there are black lizardmen and gnolls and the like of.

If they attack from all directions, the royal family of Oran will not be able to withstand it no matter how abundant their troops are. The front line is too long, especially in the west, where there are no fortifications.

Judging from the current situation, this possibility does not exist, but is very large, otherwise there is no way to explain it. If so many coincidences are put together, this is not a coincidence.
