Age of Adepts

Chapter 597: Beacon fires are everywhere

Views:

The edge of a dirty, filthy pool of water.

An old hag wearing a gray wizard robe and a gray pointed hat, with flabby skin wrinkled like dead bark, a hooked nose, cloudy eyeballs, and scorched and broken teeth, was crouching on the edge of the pool, silently chanting the words of outsiders. Weird and unintelligible incantations.

As slight fluctuations of witchcraft spread in the stinky pool, in an instant, the miserable green and muddy water surface boiled like boiling water.

It didn't take much effort, toads covered with bean-sized abscesses, dusty and ugly poisonous water snakes, water mice with sharp beaks and beards, snapping turtles crawling slowly step by step, and all kinds of shocking things. Strange swamp creatures that were difficult to identify one by one gathered around the old hag.

Judging by the size and size, the ones gathered by the old witch are all small or miniature swamp creatures.

Without the restraint of witchcraft, these swamp creatures would never run out of their hidden lairs, let alone huddle together with other swamp creatures quietly without attacking each other as before.

"Little babies...Look at you, how cute you all are..." The poisonous woman Endo bent down with a smile on her face and gently stroked the toad that jumped to her feet.

Those bean-sized abscesses, that sticky body fluid, that ugly body shape and appearance... It is estimated that only a crazy old witch like her would call a poisonous toad a cute baby!

"Cute little ones... I need to send some presents to the big guys in the camp over there... Now I'll trouble you to go there yourself..."

With a burst of nervous murmurs, the poisonous woman Endo took out a clay pot from her arms, and carefully dripped the black and sticky liquid inside on these swamp creatures one by one.

Once the black ** touched the skin of the swamp creature, it quickly penetrated and blended into it.

Those small animals carrying the black liquid turned around, submerged into the pool again, and began to dive towards the bustling dragon camp in the distance in their own unique way. And those small animals that didn't carry the black liquid rushed to Endor's side one after another, piled up into a ball, scrambling to wait for the black liquid to drip.

The foggy and wet Swamp of Sorrows just got even more eerie!

Murloc camp.

A one-sided massacre continues.

A murloc is a bipedal, amphibious, fish-like creature that lives by the coast, lake and river. They have a fat, round body, a huge mouth lined with sharp teeth, and a skin filled with sticky body fluids.

There are many different types of murlocs in color, from turquoise to dark gray, almost every color is available. And their height is usually about 1.3 meters to 1.5 meters.

Murlocs like to live in groups, dozens or even hundreds of murlocs can form a small village.

And their villages are all made of broken branches and mud, without any planning. There are no fires, no clean roads, and no fortifications in murloc villages. Murloc huts are natural and crude, small shacks supported by logs.

The murloc villages that the dragonman food collection team plundered this time belonged to the swamp murlocs in the murloc genealogy.

Swamp murlocs are the most common and most numerous low-level monsters in the Swamp of Sorrows, and they are ashamed of their status as monsters.

In front of the tall and mighty dragon warriors, their insignificant Frostbolts, crude spears made of wooden sticks, and fishing nets woven from plant fibers simply couldn't stand on the table.

The Frost Arrow chanted by the murloc priest, which is rare among the swamp murlocs, is extremely weak. When it hits the tall dragon man's chest, it will only burst into a crystal frost flower. Not to mention freezing the enemy, you can't even cause some damage to the enemy.

Those dragonmen who were hit by the Frostbolt often laughed loudly and scraped off the layer of frost on their chests with steel gloves, and then smashed the murloc priest's head back into his chest with a light punch.

Since the dragon people came here, what they wanted to confiscate was not the leftover animal bones and black jerky from the murlocs. What they want to confiscate is actually the swamp murloc itself.

Swamp murlocs are a group of fish with arms and legs. Get a few murlocs into the pot, and the fish soup made is also very delicious!

And the dragon people are all big eaters, and a dragon army of 200 people, even if they wiped out the entire murloc village, would not be enough to eat.

Therefore, the dragonman food collection team that rushed into the swamp murloc village didn't care how the old murloc village chief was yelling indiscriminately. As soon as they got here, the dragon people directly killed the murlocs and quickly killed the murlocs, then gathered their corpses together and strung them up with the vines they brought in, ready to take them away.

The ice arrows of the murloc priests can at most cool down the bodies of the dragonmen, and the polished spears of the murloc warriors will often shatter on the scales on the surface of the dragonmen. As for the throwing net, it couldn't withstand the strong tearing of the dragon warriors and the cutting of the metal axe.

If it weren't for the dragon's huge size and slow movement, I'm afraid not even a single survivor could escape from this small village of more than 130 murlocs.

The dragon warriors under Fire Dragon Lady are naturally gifted with the fire element, and some of them with outstanding talents can release extremely powerful fireballs. Ordinary dragon warriors can only direct the flames to the weapons in their hands, adding some fire element damage to them.

In order to capture the 'food' better and more completely, many dragon warriors put away their metal weapons, crushed or dropped these defenseless murlocs to death with their bare hands.

They scattered throughout the murloc village, chasing after the frightened murlocs who were running around screaming and covering their heads, grabbed one and threw it to death before chasing the next one.

Like an eagle catching a chick, the entire village of murlocs was plunged into loud and piercing screams in an instant, and the captain of the dragonman even lit a fire outside the village to block the escape route of the murlocs.

Therefore, when Desera and Medusa brought a group of men to the periphery of the battlefield, what they saw was such a bleak scene of chaos and the end of life.

The 12 dragon warriors have been completely dispersed and are chasing after groups of murlocs, busy hunting them down.

The only ones gathered together were Captain Dragon and his two subordinates, who were blocking the biggest exit of the murloc village, and were also happily killing the unlucky ones who bumped into them one after another.

"How to fight?" Medusadana swayed her graceful waist, propped up her body with her long snake tail, and looked at the battlefield carefully and carefully.

Although she is naturally intelligent, she was born as a monster after all. In terms of skills and methods, she obviously does not have the innate cunning and insidiousness of human beings. So although she is stronger than Desera, she is still willing to listen to the opinions of this human wizard.

Sure enough, Desera's comments were insidious enough.

"You can't swarm!" Desera is a famous wind wizard, and he is very proficient in levitation and flying. He floated slightly in the air at a height of 3 meters, inspecting the battlefield from a distance, and sneered and put forward his own opinion: "The terrain here is wide, if the dragon people want to run wholeheartedly, our strength is not enough to keep them all."

"so… "

"So the magical equipment we brought is hidden for the time being. Let's not go first. The two of us and the two snake demons you brought will sneak attack Captain Dragonman first."

Turning her head to think for a while, Dana still felt a little confused.

Shouldn't all battles be swarmed? Whichever side has the most numbers and the biggest fist will naturally win the final victory. Can this battle be won by leaving most of the manpower outside

As if seeing Medusa Dana's confusion, Desera explained with a little pride: "Master Mary sent us here not only to let us defeat these dragonmen, but also to keep them all. So this battle is a victory." It's not difficult, the difficulty lies in how to keep them all on the battlefield."

"Leaving the magic equipment will keep the dragonman?"

"We only had 4 people at the beginning, and the sneak attack was their captain. The dragon people think that they have an advantage in numbers, so they won't run away as soon as they fight. Stick them on the battlefield and slowly wear down their numbers. , and then ask Magic Equipment to form an interception network on the periphery, and cut into the battlefield if necessary. In this way... there is greater confidence in keeping all the dragon people behind!"

"I have no problem fighting the dragon people, but my two subordinates..." Medusa Dana is not a cold-blooded and heartless person after all, and has always cared for the younger generation of the same race.

The two subordinates she brought were all young masters of the clan. They had already grown four arms and could control multiple weapons at the same time. Coupled with his fast-moving figure, it would be like a hob formation when he wields the saber.

With such strength, there is no problem in bullying middle and low-level monsters without equipment. But when they faced a powerful creature like the dragon man, they became somewhat powerless.

The strength of the four-armed snake demons is still a bit weak. It is almost impossible to cut through the thick metal armor of the dragon man's upper body or the solid and dense scale armor of the lower body. If they really want to fight, there will inevitably be some awkward situations where they cannot be cut.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the battle, Medusa Dana had already worked hard for them.

After being begged by Dana's soft words, Desera was already a little dizzy.

For his future as a wizard, Desera has been extremely strict and demanding on himself since his apprenticeship. Although it can't reach the level of being unfeminine, it is also more self-disciplined and stricter than ordinary peers.

After becoming a sorcerer, although he had a little bit of meat, he was still much more mature and resolute than other sorcerers of the same rank.

But for some reason, Desera became somewhat infatuated with Medusa Dana unconsciously after getting in touch with Medusa Dana a lot during this period.

That exquisite and perfect face, that fiery body, although the snake hair and petrified pupils are a bit difficult to deal with, isn't this more exotic, isn't it

So it's rare for a "beauty" to ask for it, so he naturally has to take special care of it.

"Then bring two more 'lumberjacks'! They'll be much safer with these two meat shields up front..."

A sweet smile appeared on Medusa Dana's face immediately, and the snarling snake hair was even denser and made a strange noise.

"Okay, get ready, let's go!"

Following an order, the two wizards of the Crimson family, the two snake demons wrapped in the hob array, and the two 'lumberjacks' striding forward... They are like a group of howling The whirlwind, quickly and fiercely rushed towards the dragon captain.
