My Magic Age
Chapter 169 169 Feast of Slaughter
The wind and sand blew on the swamp zombies, quickly taking away the moisture on their wet surface, and covered their moss-covered bodies with a thick layer of loess. There were a lot of these swamp zombies, and they were scattered in the fields of Windmill Hill, wandering aimlessly.
The sky became very dark, and the wind and sand that covered the sky seemed to want to bury everyone. The dry and cold wind mixed with gravel made these zombies very uncomfortable. The yellow soil under their feet was full of ground potatoes. These plants occupied too much space for them in the swamp. This kind of plant with tenacious vitality can easily survive no matter where it goes.
Sister Guoguo even said that they were more like a group of mentally retarded earthworms. I think this joke is a bit cold.
The whole windmill hill was full of swamp zombies. When Chief Maxine died, the swamp zombies lurking on the edge of the windmill hills marched towards the windmill hills without stopping. Thousands of swamp zombies appeared in the wilderness of the windmill hills.
This is the first test for our team. I didn't expect it to come so quickly. If we can't defeat these swamp zombies, then we might as well go home early and hide in the town of Guludin. There are far more swamp zombies in Drowning Pond than this. Perhaps these swamp zombies in the wilderness are part of the Drowning Pond.
We must open up a path in Windmill Hill so that our entire team can pass safely. The first fifty beast female warriors followed us out to clean up the zombies. The reason is that they hold the magic antelope horn short javelin in their hands. This indestructible javelin is the nemesis of the swamp zombies. And we need a beautiful victory, not only for us, but also for the entire Laitu tribe and the beast females who joined our team later to add some confidence to win. We need victory to maintain our optimistic attitude.
The entire Laitu tribe needs someone to guard it. Geerle is responsible for leading the beast women warriors who stayed to protect the elders and children of the tribe, while the maid Asakusa is responsible for leading the beast women in the Laitu tribe to accept the beast women and children who were driven out of Bange Manor. At least now their physical strength is a problem. They need to replenish their physical strength, drink some water, eat a full meal, and preferably take a short rest, because we still have a long way to go. If Gribaschin was there, these things would be done well without any arrangements, but it is obvious that Geerle prefers to get along happily with the beast women warriors, and is unwilling to pay attention to the fleeing beast women who are dirty like pigs and covered with dirty blood. He instinctively has a psychological rejection of them, which is the contempt of the orcs for the weak.
These things must be done by someone after all. The maid Asakusa was pushed to the front by Kuz in this situation. The main reason is that Kuz wanted to rush to the front with me to kill the swamp zombies, and he couldn't find anyone else to trust. Asakusa, who was in charge of assisting the maid, was a tall and broad-framed wolf beastwoman. I could clearly remember that she was the first beastwoman recruited by Gribaschin when dealing with the dead argali after defeating the dwarf leader Barent. She should have a daughter who was also with our team.
When I looked at her again at this time, I found that her tall and well-proportioned body had become more plump in the past few days with sufficient food. There was a strong confidence in her eyes, and her chest was as tall as a mountain, which was about to burst out under the simple leather armor. She was a very strong and sturdy female orc. It can be seen that she was very prestigious among the beastwolves who joined us at the foot of Night Wolf Cliff.
Before the team set off, Sister Guoguo repeatedly reminded Viru to try not to use the "repel arrow". The explosive arrow momentum was wrapped in a huge force, which would completely destroy the entire arrow. We didn't carry many wind wolf tooth arrows. The other members of the Wind Chaser team dared not say these words in front of Viru anyway, only Sister Guoguo dared.
At this time, Ti Adamren rode his Gubolai horse to the front without hesitation. As an excellent ranger scout, his advantage is that he can identify the weakest number of swamp zombies scattered in the windmill hills at what time. We have to choose a breakthrough point, rush out from here, and head towards the drowning pond.
The first battle must be won, which is crucial to the morale of our entire team, so we carefully chose a positional battle. Fighting on such an undulating hilly terrain, occupying the top of the hillside will have a very obvious advantage, especially for some archers and javelin throwers.
Kuz's proposal was agreed by everyone. He wanted to rely on the advantages of the beast girl warriors to win the first battle. Almost all of the beast girl warriors are excellent throwers. Their right arms are extremely powerful. Usually when they herd sheep in the tribe or hunt small wild beasts in the wilderness, they rely on slingshots to complete it. Now the slingshot has been replaced with a sharp short javelin, which is more handy to use.
Theia found a hill that looked taller for us as our main battlefield. The gentle slope in front was more suitable for the battle between archers and javelin throwers, and the slopes on both sides were slightly steeper, so that the zombies we had to face could only rush up from the front.
In this battle, the Wind Chaser Team was only responsible for assisting from the side. The commander of this battle was Kuz. As the new leader of the Laitu tribe, he had to grow up quickly. Fifty beast girls lined up at the top of the slope. The zombies wandering in the distance had not yet discovered the defense line formed here. Someone had to lead the swamp zombies scattered in the hilly wilderness.
We were at the top of the slope, looking at the swamp zombies in the wilderness in the distance. Kuz skillfully took out several frost scrolls from the magic box on the back of the Yagui beast, made several frost traps, and was about to set the traps in front of the earth slope. Sister Guoguo was sitting next to me to rest. Seeing this, she couldn't help but press her forehead and said to me with contempt: "Look at what messy ideas you and Qige have instilled into Az's mind. What is war for money? Look, as long as there is a battle, this kid must be the first to take out the magic scroll to make a bunch of traps. Will it always be like this in the future? What about later?"
"We are not strong enough!" My defense was a little pale. Sister Guoguo's meaning was very clear. After all, I couldn't stay with Kuz for a lifetime. To be more precise, it might not take too long. I will go back to Schroit Province with Sister Guoguo. At that time, if Kuz wants to use cheap magic scrolls, he can only buy them at the auction house. If a large number of magic scrolls are needed in every battle, it will definitely be a big burden for Kuz.
Sister Guoguo responded with a sentence: "Quibbling!"
I laughed and whispered in Sister Guoguo's ear: "If Az can find a beastwoman shaman as his wife, wouldn't this problem be solved?"
"What a joke! Do you think that any shaman or magician can make a scroll? If I can make a magic scroll, why would I come to the Pai Plateau to eat sand!" Sister Guoguo flicked a slap on my forehead.
"This orc child is not as simple as you think!" Qiang Bach, who was sitting next to me drinking water, said calmly.
"Oh?" Sister Guoguo was surprised that Qiang Bach had such an evaluation.
Qiang Bach just smiled and said nothing. After a moment, he pointed at the simple frost traps Kuz arranged on the earth slope and said, "Look at his settings. Most of these traps are arranged very extreme. Some are arranged at the farthest range of the short javelin. Now there is no effect. When the battle officially begins, you will find that the first batch of swamp zombies will definitely trigger these traps, so that the beast female warriors will definitely achieve brilliant results in the first round of javelins. The remaining traps are obviously to prevent accidents. They are arranged at the nearest place of the team. Even if the swamp zombies can rush over, they will be hindered to a certain extent."
Virul rarely interrupted in small talk. He was only willing to chat with Qiang Bach in private.
At this time, Viru sat aside and said, "Trap hunters are rare on the Pai Plateau."
I know that Kuz has another idea in his mind: he wants to test whether ordinary frost scrolls are effective against swamp zombies.
It has always been said that swamp zombies are the top existence in the first-level magic beasts in terms of physical defense and magic defense. In addition to speed being the biggest flaw, their attack ability is also very strong, and they also have earth-based spells such as "gravity field". As long as they gather together in groups, even wolf cavalry will have to retreat. But I don't think these swamp zombies are scary if they lose their speed advantage.
Tia rode back on the Gubolai horse against the wind and sand, followed by a large group of swamp zombies, but because these zombies were a little slow, Tia had to stop and wait, and occasionally use bows and arrows to lure the lagging swamp zombies to catch up.
Waiting for the zombies to gather together is a very long process. The beast female warriors sat in groups on the hillside, wiping the short javelins in their hands and chatting to relieve stress. When they really had to face these swamp zombies, they were still a little nervous. These fifty beast women warriors were selected from the Laitu tribe. They had seen swamp zombies since childhood and knew their temperaments. In their eyes, these swamp zombies were hard to be hurt by swords.
In order to let these beast women recognize how hard the bones of swamp zombies are, Viru thought of a way, that is, to let these beast women warriors take turns to use the one-handed short axe made of fine iron to split the heads of swamp zombies. He simply poured out a bag of zombie skulls collected from Bange Manor from the bag and let the beast women warriors take turns to split them one by one. I think Viru is suspected of being lazy. If you want to break these zombie skulls, it really takes a lot of effort. Usually, these beast women warriors have to use more than a dozen axes to split a zombie skull with difficulty.
Whenever a zombie's skull was smashed open, I would go over with curiosity, not caring about the stench coming from the skulls. I would stir the skulls with my wolf tooth dagger to find out if there were any magic cores hidden inside. I've heard that there's a high chance of magic cores condensing in the brains of swamp zombies, which made Viru speechless.
But in the end, among the twenty or so zombie skulls, at most two walnut-sized magic cores were found. I think the number of magic cores produced by these swamp zombies, although higher than that of the magic antelope, is not as exaggerated as the legend says! Isn't it said that more than 90% of zombies have magic cores in their brains?
Jiang Bach laughed when he heard my question and said, "It's great to find so many magic cores in these ordinary swamp zombies. The so-called magic cores in more than 90% of the zombies refer to the corpse king. These swamp zombies scattered on the windmill hills can only be regarded as zombie puppets according to the beast tribe, not real magic beasts."
"If the corpse king had not been destroyed because of the sacrificial ceremony, it would never have been so impulsive to go deep into the orcs' manor alone and kill the orcs in the manor with its own strength. If it could have been patient and drove these huge numbers of corpses to attack from the front, this Bangor Manor would be finished today!" Qiang Bach sighed.
After listening to it, I immediately thought of the scene where the brave corpse king I saw on the altar almost strangled the wolf cavalry captain Nelson to death. Indeed, the strength of the entire Bangor Manor was really unable to resist these swamp zombies, and I thought of Chief Maxine who dared to sacrifice the blood of orcs from other tribes in the wilderness to the swamp corpse king in exchange for peace. I really just want to sigh.
When I think of the swamp full of these corpse kings, I can't help but feel a little scared.
Usually, there is a certain probability that magic cores will grow on low-level magic beasts. After peeling off the hard shell of these magic cores, a magic crystal will appear inside. These magic crystals are actually the product formed after the crystallization of magic element energy. They have a wide range of functions. Not only are magic crystals the cores of magic scrolls above the intermediate level, but most magic tools require magic crystal energy stones to work. Magicians usually use magic crystal stones to trade precious magic tools. For example, low-level magic crystal stones produced by swamp zombies can usually be exchanged for one hundred gold coins in the market. In layman's terms, a magic crystal stone the size of a thumbnail is worth about ten gold coins.
Finally, when Tia led hundreds of swamp zombies to the front of our slope, these swamp zombies that lost the control of the corpse king were very scattered. Just after they rushed into the range of the short javelins, Kuz gave an order, and fifty short javelins made of demon antelope horns flew out in unison, like raindrops falling from the sky towards the zombies.
The tail handles of the demon antelope horn javelins that could easily penetrate the fine steel plate armor had a faint white cyclone. The demon antelope horn javelins fell into the zombies, and before the swamp zombies had time to react, they were filled with short javelins, like salted fish stuck on bamboo sticks.
When they saw the javelins made of demon antelope horns piercing into the bodies of swamp zombies, it was as easy as a boning knife piercing into fresh meat. The beast girls on the entire hillside immediately boiled. The beast girls probably never thought that it would be so easy to deal with these tough zombies. For these swamp zombies that crawled like turtles, a sharp weapon was enough. Each of the beast girls only had three short javelins of demon antelope horns, so when the second round of short javelins was thrown, Kuz had already raised the short axe in his hand and shouted loudly: "Charge!"
The beast girls of the Laitu tribe were already following Kuz down the hillside with blood boiling.
It must be said that after the swamp corpse king in the manor was killed by Viru, these zombies scattered in the wilderness have become a mob. They don't even have any thoughts, just rely on their own instincts to walk aimlessly in the wilderness. Only when they find fresh and warm flesh and blood will they chase after it in a swarm. But what awaits them is a one-sided slaughter - a slaughter feast for the beast girl warriors of the Laitu tribe.
