Chapter 454 Chapter 457 Fire

This former lycanthrope has shown two good qualities : Caring for companionship and honesty. In the presence of the crowd, he took off his shoes, took out the bone dagger from under the deformed sole, and handed it to Dagon. Dagon took it himself, looked at it carefully, and returned it to him. "This dagger is well made, you should keep it, you will definitely use it. I cured you of lycanthropy, how about you do something for me?"

"Okay! What? What?"

"Go to Egg Island and warn the chief there that Dagon Olison is coming with the Vanguard, and ask him to surrender. I will occupy Egg Island, and those who are willing to obey me and those who obey the Vanguard's management Everyone can stay, and I will slowly treat them with lycanthropy." Dagon thought for a while and said, "Remember that, I can't guarantee that every lycanthropy will be cured, don't let your friends It will be wrong, and I will lie to them later."

"Remember, I will do it, and I will try my best to convince him." This person no longer uses the title of chief, and directly uses a" The word "he" indicates that the victory or defeat between the Vanguard Army and Egg Island has already been decided in his heart. "I'll go now, keep going all the way, and rush back as fast as I can."

"Go." Dagon said: "These two of your companions are temporarily locked here with me, so they won't be hungry. thirsty and thirsty for them." Dagon waved and ordered the soldiers to return the things to him, then watched him leave the camp.

The two lycanthropes saw that their companions were fine and were let go, so they stopped struggling and resisting. The three of them said a few words to each other in the gu lu language, patted each other on the shoulders, and temporarily separated. They obediently asked the soldiers to tie their hands with ropes, and they stopped grinning and provoking, but kept saying: "Eat, eat?"

"Give them something to eat." Dagon turned to the leading officers of the vanguard and the The bishop of the temple said: "If you don't let him go, the vanguard may make a surprise attack; let him go and let him warn the lycanthropes, then the first War General of the vanguard will be a dignified battle."

Tohens nodded, said: "No matter how we fight, we will only win the vanguard. I have great confidence in the young men."

"I also have Confidence, but be prepared for lycanthropy." Dagon said: "Anders, you're in charge of supervising the soldiers must wear gloves, bracers, and leggings before battle, and don't expose their hands and feet even when the sun hits their heads. Go out. See if there is enough canvas in the supplies, and whether it can be made into a scarf that covers the face, so as to block the nose and mouth."

"Everyone knows that lycanthropy mainly depends on biting and clawing. It spreads, but the spit and blood are the bane." Dagon said: "Be careful when you enter the battlefield, you can't ignore the threat of lycanthropy just because our Jiangu clansman's body is tenacious, and it should never be the style of the vanguard."

"Dao Zun, we will work with Priest Ori to perform a dive technique to protect the vanguard from disease. If it is just infected, incantation can also relieve lycanthropy." A bishop said: "It's just We don't know this dive technique to get rid of the deep-rooted lycanthropy of lycanthropes. Which ceremony should I use to pray to Oli?"

"There is only one prayer ceremony that allows you to learn this dive technique, That is to study lycanthropy well." Dagon said: "We are in the service of Oli, not Oli for us. Oli protects and cares for Jiangu clansman, the priest of Oli Temple assists Oli through the same work, practice Do what he wants, instead of putting the blame on Auli, and say how to pray to get the dive technique? This won't work!"

"How to expand the use of the therapeutic dive technique, the temple needs to think carefully, especially It's the high-ranking priests above the bishop, don't be compared by a seventy-year-old youngster." Dagon glared at the two bishops, and then said, "Now the meeting is over, have a good rest, and have a rapid march tomorrow."

There are still a little more than two days left to go to Egg Island. At this time, the order for a rapid march made the soldiers a little confused. However, the training results of the Pioneer Army appeared at this time. The whole army did not have any questions or complaints. Everyone acted quickly. As soon as the sun left the ground, the Pioneer Army had already left the camp.

"Pastors, follow me to the camel caravan." Dagon asked Bart to communicate, and the dive technique sorcerer all gathered next to the logistical row of yaks. "The yak of the vanguard can carry weight, but not fast. Now they are marching fast and there are not enough troops to defend them, and it is difficult for them to keep up with full speed. Now is the time to show your diving technique ability, you must ensure that the yak To be able to keep up with the rapid march, there should be no livestock damage or loss of luggage, the yak must be healthy and still have enough physical strength to march normally tomorrow."

"We have no incantation for the yak! That is the Druid It’s something that only shamans can master.”

“Well said, bishop-sama, you are really useless.” Dagon still waved his hand and said: “Everyone, think of a way, even if you carry it for the yak. I have to meet my requirements."

Dagon didn't just talk about it, he showed the word "lucky" rune, built a puppet mount in the shape of a bear lizard, and directly shared half the load of the two yaks. . The two yaks had only a light load left, making it much easier to march quickly.

"Bless the power of the cow with the dive technique?" Several priests discussed: "How many times can I use it in a day? Can it last for a day? Or I can use it every once in a while to give the yak enough time.

Rest?"

"Summoning Technique doesn't seem to be able to last all day..."

"Shall we use the yak's gigantic technique?"

"No, that can only make dwarves or humanoids bigger, not useful for cows."

"Dagon Dao Zun, I know a dive technique can solve this problem." At this time, a dark brown The bearded Jiangu raised a high hand and said, "Dao Zun, I know how to strengthen the weight of all yaks."

Dagon glanced at it and recognized that it was Deborah from the Ao Li Temple in Anjing City , he was one of the priests who volunteered to stay. "Oh, Deborah, what do you think, tell me."

"Jiangu clansman from Anjing works mostly as a porter at the dock, and some of my brothers are among them. The temple comes to me to rest. Sometimes, I always go to join them. My physical strength is not as good as theirs, so I use the dive technique to strengthen it, and then I gradually found that a prayer ceremony can enhance the weight-bearing capacity. Only increase the weight, not increase the strength or change the body shape.” Bola said: "It is not in the dive technique of Oli, and my temple bishop does not recognize it as a qualified ceremony, so it does not allow me to perform it."

"You come and see it." Dagon smiled and encouraged him.

Deborah nodded, came to a yak and took a deep breath. As he focused on prayer and used a few complex gestures, divine energy descended on the yak, which immediately became more relaxed, and even turned its head and snorted happily at Deborah.

"If I exhaust the power of prayer, I can perform this diving technique on six yaks at the same time." Deborah looked at Dagon and asked nervously: "Master Dao, this is Oli. Divine technique?"

"Yes." Dagon bowed to Oli and said, "The divine energy from Oli, serving the glorious army, cast through the hands of a Jiangu clansman, this must be Oli What is the name of this incantation?"

"Heavy load technique. Thank you Lord Dao for your recognition." Deborah clenched her fists tightly under her robe and said excitedly: "And One is called the common weight-bearing technique, which is actually a diving technique, just a technique for casting spells..."

A bishop finally couldn't bear it anymore, blowing his beard and staring, loudly shouted: "Nonsense, how can you Modify the dive technique like Arcane?!"

"Did Auli say that?" Dagon asked, tilting his head: "My knowledge is not very broad, mainly in Myris The elite Academy Psorda's temple school is studying the diving technique. I remember the priests of Psorda boasting that they were the first in history to define and classify the diving technique and Arcane. One?"

"No!" Debow stretched his neck loudly and said: "Oli didn't say that you can't force Divine Transformation incantation. Divine technique and prayer ceremony can't be modified, it's just a customary habit!"

"Pymo bishop, is that so? What do you think, if it goes against the teachings of Ori, then I must criticize him."

"It goes against the rules of the temple. "

"The rules of the temple can't be bigger than the rules of Ori?" Dagon patted the bishop on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Ori has been watching us, and he is happy to see The Jiangu family is stronger, and the diving techniques have become richer. Encourage and encourage young Jiangu clansman, let them develop. Let's watch, are we afraid of problems?"

"Dao Zun, I'm worried The pastors will do whatever you like and try their best to transform the diving technique and reduce the training of basic skills. Not good for the long-term development of the temple. "

"Your concern is well-founded and wise." Dagon nods his time and says: "What Paimon bishop said is, don't fumble around, it's too much of a waste - I'll tell you how to do it effectively. "

"Go to work, to actually help fellow citizens to do things." It's hard to expand the uses of the diving technique incantation by wiping Saint Artifact and building more statues of Ori, let alone thinking of new diving techniques. Imagination and random experiments are not enough. Just sink your heart, walk out of the temple, enter the life and labor of the ordinary person, listen to their needs, experience their fatigue and troubles, and then you will know what kind of diving technique will work better. "

"Dao Zun, uh...I..." Paimon hesitated for a while, he seemed to see the Earth Forging Hammer flashing before his eyes, so he immediately changed his mind and said, "I basically mean the same thing." , the pastor must help Jiangu clansman. "

"Well said. Dagon nodded and said, "Deborah, since you have this spell, teach it to everyone." The two bishops are relatively old, so you can take up their work together, no problem, right? "

"No problem! Deborah replied forcefully, with excitement and joy in her voice.

The division team used diving techniques and personal carrying ability to ensure the speed of the baggage caravan, and the vanguard trotted all the way to the egg island . With the advantage of dark vision, they marched until late at night on this day, without lighting a fire to cook, they directly ate cold and hard hash browns to solve their stomach problems.

"The soldier on duty tonight will be on the back of a yak tomorrow. Take a nap. Tohens, sleep well tonight, I'll be in charge of night command. "

"Can you do it without rest?" If you're unlucky, you might run into the lycanthrope of Egg Island tomorrow. "

"This body of mine is prepared for God and will not be easily tired." Look at the bottom of my eyes, are there red bloodshots? Dagon patted him and said, "Don't worry, I'm much younger than you." ”

Arriving near Egg Island, the vanguard blew the horn, and the three short beeps were the signal of encountering the enemy. The military formation immediately unfolded, the soldiers checked the status of the muskets, and the officers of each squad and platoon blew the horn. Immediately restrain the queue, must grasp the situation of each soldier, and Dagon and other officers are waiting for the horn in front. If there is no new horn, it means that the enemy is very dangerous, and the reconnaissance team may have been sacrificed.

The gunshot rang out, followed by a short and two-long horn, indicating that the front had stabilized and the army could guard the formation to advance. To be on the safe side, Dagon let the row that completed the preparations the fastest go forward to respond, and three The fourth platoon spread out to the left and right, and the slower second platoon stayed in the central army to protect the cargo camel team. This made the second platoon leader feel quite shameless, and actually fell behind in the battle when the first shot was fired. But now it is not to reprimand the few When you are a squad leader, hurry up and do your job well, and don't let Dagon catch the problem again.

The reconnaissance team quickly brought back the news that they encountered the hunters on Egg Island, and they suffered four in the first place. A javelin. Relying on dodging and blocking, the javelin did not cause any damage, so they immediately launched a counterattack, killing two on the spot and running six.

"They are setting traps on the road, they should be thinking slow down our speed. "The scout said, "We found the ropes and the clips, and the unfinished hole." "

"It seems that the lycanthrope chieftain of Egg Island does not want to surrender." "Dagon said to the officers: "Be ready for battle, they are more familiar with this place and may launch an ambush." Note that it is the eyes, ears, and spirit that prepare, not the index finger. Don't shoot when there is trouble, whoever wants to do that, his squad leader should do a good review! "

"The lycanthrope is still too savage to know how powerful the vanguard is." "

"Tohens, you can't say that either. They're not savage, they've been brainwashed by lycanthropy. Normally, let alone the vanguard, if the Northern Tribes encountered nearly 300 armed Jiangu warriors, they would not imagine that they would be able to fight head-on. Dagon said: "Surrender is an attempt to reduce casualties, and we don't really count on that." I figured that the lycanthropes might have a fever, so I ordered a rapid march, so that they could not make arrangements on the road. "

"But there's a trap ahead... or let the yak scout the way and the medic get ready?" "

"I'll fix it." "Dagon said: "It's a pity that the first shot was not fired. It's quite a memorable event. Whoever fired decisively just now, who was the first to achieve the victory, ask them clearly and record them well, and I will invite them to dinner. Tohens, let the vanguard march in three columns and follow me! "

"Yes! Tohens hammered his chest and immediately went to convey the order. Before he left, he winked at Saree, telling her to protect Dagon well, and there must be no problems.

Soon, Dagon Speeding up to the front of the team, I saw the completed and unfinished traps on the ground. It was not the lycanthropes who came to set the traps, but the most common half-human race in the north. Sometimes people can't tell the difference or don't want to distinguish which one is Half-orc or half-gnoll, maybe even they don't know.

Obviously, the main controller of Egg Island is the lycanthrope tribe, and there are some servant tribes around it. People often gather numbers and threaten other tribes with minions and lycanthropy, especially when they control the old and the weak so that they can fight and serve themselves—this is the case with the demi-humans who set traps.

Traps are very simple, more for hunting than for armies. If you wear iron shoes, those ropes and clips are no threat, only pits can be trouble. The lycanthrope thinks well , lag the vanguard on the road, and then set up the battlefield for a more favorable situation.

"It won't slow down at all. "Dagon opened the dragon sense, any cover on the potholes and rope clips is meaningless, the dragon sense swept directly, and all of them were pulled out. "Soil transportation! "Whenever a trap is found, Dagon will use rune incantation, turning the soil or moving the turf, and triggering the trap directly, so that the vanguard will no longer be threatened.

Because the rapid march reduces the time consumed on the road, most The pit was not formed, and Dagon directly buried it with soil movement. The soldiers of the vanguard army saw that Dagon directly destroyed the trap, and their morale was high, so they reassured themselves to speed up and head towards Egg Island.

Their soldiers The speed completely exceeded the expectations of the lycanthropes. They couldn't even complete the fence and interception rope. In fact, the vanguard had already seen the hill where Egg Island was located that night, but Dagon did not order to attack. Not afraid of night battle, he Noticed that there are already many dug trenches with sharpened sticks inserted in them, which will affect the battle formation. Also when firing in the dark, the violent flash of the muzzle will affect Jiangu clansman's keen dark vision, too Disadvantage.

“Attack before dawn. Dagon said: "The second row is on alert tonight, the others sleep." If the enemy is attacking at night, the second row is responsible for solving it. Ask him if he needs help from another platoon, and don't say sorry. "

If it wasn't for the fear of disobeying the military order, the second platoon would really like to rush up to destroy all the lycanthropes on Egg Island and capture them directly. Their fighting spirit is fierce, one by one staring at the deep night, hoping The enemy came without a long eye and turned into military exploits. Maybe their murderous aura was too heavy, and the Barbarian Race on Egg Island had no intention of coming out.

Dagon won't wait for them. It's past midnight , he began to arrange for the troops to take turns to eat and prepare for battle. In fact, he did not have to wait until dawn, when Dagon saw that the vanguard had entered the state, and issued an order to attack.

The vanguard is based on platoons. The units are assigned the direction of the attack, and the squads are deployed into array lines, and they start to push directly. Jiangu clansman is as solid as a stone. When they act collectively, they are always impossible and secretive, and their heavy and dense footsteps are like the prelude to an earthquake. , woke up all the cats, dogs, geese and geese on Egg Island.

"Dwarf sneak attack! Really immoral! "The foul-mouthed defenders of Egg Island rushed out. In addition to the lycanthropes and some half-human servant tribes, they also released wargs and fire foxes, and pushed three mountain giants more than four meters tall to join the battlefield. .It seems that the lycanthrope tribe can occupy Egg Island, and their battle strength is really good.

The first one to pounce is the Warg, which is a black wolf with a length of more than two meters, primordial Their fangs are always out of their mouths, like the canine Saber-Toothed Tiger. They are the fastest, the most violent, and the first to see a series of flashes and hear the roar of muskets.

"Bang! boom! Bang..." The shotgun smashed down with a crackle of fire, and the wolves rolled on the ground whimpering and whimpering. The Warg had never seen such a weapon, so they were not afraid and continued to charge. At this time, another squad on the side Fired...

The wolves were kicked in the flank by the fiercely and flew out sideways. Some unlucky guys who were too public to attract extra attention (firepower) were directly smashed, each The shards flew off its corpse, and the scene was appalling. Some of the Wargs fell, knelt, and vomited blood. They tried to get back on their feet, but apparently unsuccessful.

“Check the magazines. , change the bullet. "The squad leaders kept reminding the passwords, just like they did during training. The musket line would stop at this point, take about seven seconds to complete the reload and check, and then move on. The squads covered each other, The actions of firing, checking, and advancing alternately.

After two rounds of shooting, the Warg was gone, and the smart Firefox basically fell to the ground. Originally, they were going to rush in with the Warg and use their own The elemental powers of the fiends ignite all combustibles, causing chaos and destruction with fire. But they die with the wolves before they have a chance to get close, and only the grass near the corpse is ignited.

“The medics and priests Put out the fire, and the combat troops move on! Press it up! "Dagon gave an order: "The priests of the temple can make water, right? "

"Apprentices will..." said Paimon Bishop. His voice trembled a little, it was shocked by the lethality of the musketeer. There is too much threat to the soldiers of the tribe, but the speed of solving the threat is too fast, it will be gone in less than half a minute, and the mowing is not so fast...

The Barbarian Race on Egg Island is also greatly affected. Shocked, they immediately found the reason: "The dwarves are using evil spells! Don't let them chant again! rush! Follow the giant! "

If only they had darkvision. They'd be able to see that those flashes of killing came from the hands of every Jiangu warrior, not one or two powerful "Evil Curselingers". Normally No warrior is willing to face three hundred dwarves who can "interpret the law", thirty would be enough.

The night made them misjudge the battle strength of the vanguard, and put the muskets and some with only one or two waves. The outburst of the spell was mixed up, and the charge continued. Dagon recognized the problem when he learned his lessons afterwards.

Nothing else was a problem.
