Chapter 230 The Cheap Way

In this battle, because the royal camp had made preparations an hour in advance, it stubbornly withstood the centaur's flood-like offensive.When the centaur loses thousands of troops due to poor attacking, but the opponent gains an advantage instead, its speculative psychology will inevitably appear.A troop retreated with the leader, and the other leaders chased after them not to be outdone.Anyway, the law does not blame the public, does the great chief really dare to kill all their leaders?For a moment, like an arrow, he rushed back into the mountains and disappeared like a tidal wave.

When the royal family gathered the army and returned to the camp, and Jay Leno and other high-level military officials had returned to report the situation of the battle, Nassus' four wild boars "sprinted" from the sky far away.When everyone was marveling at the "higher animal mutation" of supernatural power, the leading crystal dragon-veined ogre priest seemed to have changed his temper. He changed his tone of contempt just now, and instead praised Naisu in front of the generals with great fanfare. At the scene of Si, he praised how many and how wonderful his supernatural power is, and even said with a sigh: "I can transfer my own spells to animal companions at will, and there is no barrier of distance. This ability is exactly What our priests don't have. And we can also maintain a very close spiritual connection with animals. This kind of magical supernatural power, I think it is more than ten times more powerful than the magician's level 5 arcane telepathic connection! Our priests It is even beyond reach! You have achieved such accomplishments at such a young age, it really makes us old men feel ashamed." The sincerity of the words is almost like an old friend.On the contrary, it made Nassus feel embarrassed because he was already over [-] years old, so there was no such thing as a "young age".

Of course, being praised and yelled by such a high-ranking priest as the other party, the people next to him also cast envious eyes, which immediately made Nassus a little elated.Most of the unhappiness just now dissipated.

Next, the royal family wanted to discuss the major issue of defending the centaur from another sneak attack, so they had to be courteous and ordered non-core people such as Jay Leno and Nassus to leave the big tent, leaving only the gem dragon veins and the priest of the gem dragon god , All kinds of psychics discuss military affairs.

After leaving the camp.Jay Leno, who was twice as tall as Nassus, suddenly leaned over and whispered: "You wild boar is so powerful? If you change to a bigger animal partner and make them bigger than the dinosaurs in the sky, wouldn't you be invincible?" I said, hurry up and find an opportunity to change to a large animal. The priest seems to have a good impression of you. If you can seize the opportunity and make a contribution, you may be rewarded by the royal family, and you can live a wealthy life in the future , isn’t it better than living alone in the wilderness?”

Nassus smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "It's not that I'm powerful alone, it's me and Heng Heng who combine their abilities and support each other. That's why we are powerful. As for Heng Heng, I will definitely not change. Once we It is almost two bodies and one mind with it, how can I bear to struggle? Secondly, my supernatural power of higher animal mutation can only change medium and small animals, and it is too difficult to change large animals, it is almost doubled Going up, it’s only possible when you reach the legendary realm! Besides, although the absolute combat power of big animals is strong, their relative combat power is actually very weak. You see, although the absolute power of elephants is great, if you really shrink the elephant to It is the size of a buffalo, but its strength is not as good as a buffalo! The Archdruid of Arilu once said to me. Huge things often rely on their own weight and absolute strength to suppress the enemy. But there are not many relative strengths. If Shrunk them down to the size of ordinary animals, then their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of ordinary animals. This is like a huge bureaucratic system in a country. It seems extremely powerful, but in fact it maintains its dominance by relying on a certain dominant position Its own relative ability is not only not strong, but extremely weak. Once it encounters serious challenges, such as strong invasion, great changes in the environment, riots, etc., it will immediately fall apart. In fact, the smaller the animal, the greater its relative combat power. It is strong. A beetle can lift hundreds of times its own weight, but an elephant cannot lift another elephant. If a beetle is enlarged to the size of an elephant, its shell is stronger than several layers of steel armor, and an elephant The skin and flesh can be pierced with a wooden spear! The short legs of beetles can also be fine. Or, as long as the elephant's legs are slightly injured, their lives are in danger. So using smaller animals to make them bigger, then Its combat power is ten times stronger than that of ordinary big animals!"

Jay Leno thought for a while, and then said to himself: "That's true. But why are the relative combat power of those small animals stronger than those of big animals?"

Nassus smiled helplessly: "Because the smaller the animal, the harsher the life, if the combat power is not strong, or there are no unique skills to save their lives, then they will all die long ago! Elle Luda The Druids said that it is not that they want to be stronger than big animals, but that those who are not strong are all ruthlessly exterminated in the constant changes of the universe. Therefore, real practitioners should not rely on family, because family is ultimately It is impossible to conform to the immortal Tao by relying on something that is bound to be dispersed; and do not depend on the church, because the church will eventually perish one day, and it is impossible to conform to the Tao by relying on something that is bound to perish. Do not rely on the country, because the country is disintegrated, relying on something that is bound to disintegrate, it is impossible to fit in the way of immortality; let alone rely on your own emotions and desires, because the emotions and desires are illusory Disillusionment is even more unreliable. Only a self-supporting person who does not rely on everything inside and outside the body and mind can fit in with the immortal Tao, and the Tao will establish him. This self-reliance is different from the self-reliance of ordinary people, and it cannot be confused."

Jay Leno joked a little impatiently: "Why have you become so wordy after you have been with Eliludruid for a few days? I just want to know why the relative combat power of small animals is higher than those of big animals. You are Why add a bunch of repeated words at the end, I am confused." Nassus, who is several times shorter than him, smiled and said: "This is the original words of the arch druid of Arilu, it is a bit difficult understand."

Suddenly, the ogre psion with the crystal dragon veins walked by. He smiled and asked, "What is difficult to understand? Can you tell me?"

As soon as Nassus saw him, he remembered how complacent this guy was when he introduced the astral construct giant beetle during the day, just like the ogre priest with crystal dragon veins.So he responded casually: "It's something inside the secret druid. Oh, by the way, where is your astral construct? After the two battles just now, it must have suffered a lot. Why don't you take advantage of it?" Repair it during this time?"

The psion of the crystal dragon vein replied: "Hehe. My astral construct has the natural ability to repair, and it has completely returned to normal now. You see it is here." Then he picked up a ring in his hand Suddenly, a wisp of silver-gray light mist flew out from the gemstone of the ring, like a wisp of weightless earth-bright ghost floating in mid-air.

Nassus asked in amazement: "Is this palm-sized thing the nature-constructed beetle you mentioned? Or something else?"

Hehe chuckled with pride on the other side and said, "Of course it's my astral structure armored beetle. It looks like a small incorporeal life, which is strange. This is a skill I just learned, which allows me to The astral construct turned into an incorporeal form, and then it can be hidden in this ring of mine. I'll make it look different right away." After saying that, the ray of void time in front of him screamed. It flew to the top of the head, stretched out, and turned into a silver-gray incorporeal beetle that was not as huge as a rhinoceros.It is exactly the same as the big beetle in the physical construction during the day.They all have ferocious faces, huge and weird mouthparts, and their bodies are thick and full of thorns that are as sharp as daggers.It was very frightening at first, but now it is in a translucent incorporeal state like a ghost, and it also emits a faint blue brilliance, which is even more weird and compelling.

The crystal dragon-veined psion silently released a pale green strange light like a ball, and saw the big beetle in the incorporeal state fly down to the open space next to it, and then transformed into a steel-like creature with a whimper. Solid, solid form.I saw that its whole body was shining with cold light, and its footsteps were as heavy as a hammer, just like the daytime.

Nassus saw that it could change from reality to reality, and thought that this astral construct could fly in the air as lightly as a feather.It can be as heavy as a strong thing such as a ramming fortress of a siege cart.I couldn't help feeling a little envious.I have to admit that in terms of combat alone, this thing is better than my own four wild boars.He said sincerely: "This thing is not only as strong as a steel chariot, but also can be carried around like a ghost. It can also repair damage by itself, and can attack invisibly at will. It is indeed a good thing."

At this time, I heard the ogre psion of the crystal dragon vein say with a little bragging: "Actually, my astral construct is not good enough. Recently, I plan to continue to strengthen the astral construct. On the basis of giving It has two abilities Spike Storm and Elemental Shockwave. Identifying Storm can stab its whole body like a dagger. It shoots like a shower of flowers to 60 feet away, and its killing effect is equivalent to several large fireballs scattered over a large area. Clear Those times are much simpler, a storm can kill dozens of people in a crowded place! The elemental shock wave can make my astral armor beetle spray out violent elemental breath like a dragon, which can be used at medium distances Clear out those difficult opponents." Then he talked endlessly about the many benefits of astral constructs, even pulling out reasons such as "no need to eat, drink, or practice".Instead, Nassus became alert: Why does this guy seem to be bragging?Although this thing is strong, there's no need to bother bragging about it in front of me.

He was chatting with this guy in doubt, but an order ogre ran out of the big tent not far away, and passed an order to Jay Leno and the others: This battle is of great importance, but the Cyclops tribe Reinforcement was not coming for a long time, and Jay Leno and his subordinates were sent to the Cyclops tribe with a letter written by the king.There are also some psykers who also serve as guarding forces.And the crystal dragon vein ogre next to it is also impressively listed.

The real message can be sent by using "short message technique" and so on. There must be some kind of secret contract in the so-called "letter".While thinking about this question, Nassus followed Ji Renault to prepare the team for departure.He originally came to assist Jay Leno in accordance with Dongzi's order. This time, he can also take a trip to Fazinula Village along the way.And Jay Leno also has this intention.

When the 20-odd barbarians and psykers set off, the most conspicuous in the team was the ogre psion with crystal dragon veins. Put it away, let the brilliance of the whole body flatten, and then sit on the back of the beetle carelessly and move forward leisurely.It seems that a noble person is traveling on a strange big sedan chair, and his majesty is enviable.On the contrary, Jay Leno, the master, seems to be a guard following behind.

In a four-story fortress that is growing day by day on the mountainside, a human being is sitting in the center of the large room.He ate and drank non-stop on his own, completely ignoring the centaur chief opposite him.

At this time, the originally simple and dark contemptuous room was brightly lit, and human mages had cast illusions on the surrounding thick rock walls.It seems to hang a pair of glorious pictures, in which there are emerald green mountain scenery swaying with the wind, or the transparent blue sky and clear water of the Sunshine Coast, or an old castle in the suburbs under the gorgeous and charming warm sunset, Exudes a peaceful color.It also seems that there are invisible portals installed on the wall, opening up a beautiful place in the distance.Living in it, I suddenly feel refreshed, relaxed and happy.

But this is for the mages of the Three Towers Federation in the room.For the great chief on the other side, these pictures are simply showing off and insulting a great chief. He ordered people to invite this "friendly" human mage three times, but he couldn't invite this "friendly" human mage, which is really annoying!

But he still held back his anger, today's failure is simply a fatal blow!Originally, he wanted to kill the Naintus royal family in one go, and then break through the encirclement of the local nobles, and even defeat the opponent internally and externally.However, the royal camp of Naintus had already been prepared.After halfway through the attack, he couldn't continue the attack, and was later attacked by the opponent's astral construct from behind, and his position was immediately disrupted.Not only did they lose more than 6000 lives, but they also wasted a lot of magic and military resources.

The appearance of this astral construct is simply the most fatal blow!Although the astral structure of Naintus was as hard as iron and powerful, it could not be invisible, nor could it withstand the attacks of magic weapons. At best, it was a substandard golem.Decades ago, the Metellus tribe used their high-speed mobile combat capabilities in a battle, and concentrated their firepower to kill ten large astral constructs.So they never felt like much of a threat.

Unexpectedly, the astral constructs faced in this war could be attacked by second-class low-level magic weapons, which made most centaur warriors' bow and arrow javelin attacks immediately ineffective.Secondly, it can also conduct stealth operations and concentrated raids.There are no signs of coming and going, but there are not many people who know true seeing in the Metellus tribe.All of a sudden, he was hoodwinked by the opponent and turned around.Under the front and back attack of these extremely tough and large astral constructs, the centaurs who invaded the royal camp were even more defeated.The sure-fire raid plan turned into a suicide charge in an instant.These supposedly clumsy instruments can even automatically restore damaged parts like trolls, and they can slowly recover as long as they are not dead.In this way, he is good at both surprise warfare and protracted warfare, which is really difficult to deal with!

Everything is reversed!

Who would have expected that ten years later, the astral structure of the Naintus royal family would have improved so much?No wonder they have been showing weakness for the past five years. Is it to cover up their breakthrough progress in the art of astral constructs?

What a mistake, the whole game is lost!Now that he has nothing left in his pocket, for the sake of the great cause of the ages, he had to say in a calm tone as much as possible: "This war is very important, and today's failure will greatly fuel the enemy's arrogance, and they will besiege our fortress more intensively." .If the opponent's large astral constructs are allowed to continue their endless raids, all our fortresses will be wiped out in less than three days! So in order to strengthen the defense here, we would like to borrow your Gold Essence Fortress Box Use it."

The human mage who was tasting the mellow liqueur almost spit out a sip of wine worth 10 gold coins from his mouth. He tried his best to suppress the look of wanting to laugh, and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Are you kidding? , can't be broken by swords, axes, and hammers, and has extremely high spell resistance against mages, which can withstand most direct attacks. It can also take root and is not afraid of indirect spell damage such as earthquake spells. If you add defensive spells such as copper walls and iron walls, That would really be an unfallible fortress. But do you know how much it costs? Hehe, I can tell you the truth, even if you sell half of your tribe, you still can't afford an Adamantite Fortress Box! As for borrowing. Hmph! Don’t even talk about it! We only have four of us, and we use them quite frequently. You can’t just borrow from others.” Seeing that the other party was anxious to say something: “But this war also concerns The Three Towers will have long-term benefits in the future." He waved his hand impatiently and said: "It's useless to say that! Now the battle at sea is urgent, and we don't have any idle gold fortress boxes to use! But if you want to win the war , I have a cheaper note: gather the most elite fighters and warlocks in your clan, and immediately summon your angels with the Anos Ut summoning technique. You should understand what I mean, if you want to The only way to defeat the enemy is to use this skill, and we have a lot of scrolls, very, very cheap scrolls."

Anos Ut Summoning?The great chief's expression changed, and he was angry but didn't dare to be angry and said in a cold voice: "This kind of summoning will kill the person who descended. Isn't there a better way?"

The human mage wearing a luxurious mage robe sneered contemptuously, and then said slowly with a proud face: "A good way?! You have used up all your money to buy spell materials a few days ago. Signed a ten-year employment contract, now you want money but no money, no one you want, what else can you do? Anos Ut Summoning is the cheapest, 500 gold coins per scroll, such a good deal If you don't want to, then there is really no other way!"
