Defeating the ogre camp is naturally extremely dangerous, but the benefits are also great.
Just being able to rule firmly is already a great reward, not to mention that the ogres often have a lot of collections. Things that the dragons don't like may not be worthless to Baron Dar.
Moreover, if the ogre can be captured alive, whether it is trained into a soldier or sold, it can bring huge profits.
If it's the former, as long as there are two or three tame ogre soldiers, Baron Dar will dare to attack other surrounding lords to expand his sphere of influence; and if it's the latter, he can at least get a large sum of money, and it's more likely that he can borrow money from This was an opportunity to get on the line with some forces that he had long wanted to establish good relations with.
Even if all the ogres are dead, the dead ogres are still valuable. Many parts of their bodies are made of good materials, especially the famous "Ogre Gloves", which can greatly increase the strength of ordinary people and turn them into humanoid beasts.
Baron Dahl remembers that his newly hired consulting mage is a talented person who understands alchemy and enchantment techniques. If there were enough ogre materials for him to join forces, it would not be a problem to make such a few pairs of ogre gloves.
This kind of treasure that can immediately enhance your strength is good whether you keep it for your own use or sell it for money.
As for the danger, he has also considered it, but after all, the group of ogres were robbed by the dragon, and even the shaman died. Even if there is some danger, it is not impossible to take the risk.
Thinking of this, he made up his mind.
Of course, he will never go up the mountain this time. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the crusade, he must not be in danger.
For this reason, he made a heavy promise. If the crusade was successful, no matter how much the profit was, 70% of it would belong to the crusade team that went up the mountain. And even if the crusade fails, he will use a large sum of money from his own property to pay the reward.
He didn't say a word about pension or anything.
This is not because he is reluctant to give up the pension, but because he knows that at this time, he can only mention the benefits, not the risks. He must make everyone jealous before he can get this done.
As for whether people will die? How many people will die? By this time he had given up.
As long as it's not you who dies!
Now that Baron Dar had made up his mind, the knights agreed with him after some discussion.
In any case, defeating the ogres is always a great achievement, enough to brag about for many years. And if you don't even dare to mess with a group of useless losers who have just been robbed by a giant dragon, then how can you have the dignity to ride a big horse through the city? Just go home and take your wife and kids as soon as possible!
Not to mention, the rewards of this adventure are quite generous and worth it!
The priests of Masked Void Church did not even hesitate. For them, as long as there was enough hope, it was a matter of course to fight evil and eradicate monsters. As the saying goes, I am a soldier and you are a thief, why do you have to think so much!
As for whether this matter will benefit Baron Dahl? No matter how bad Baron Dahl is, he is still a human being and a lord. At least he has to bear the basic responsibilities of a lord - such as cleaning up the monsters in the territory. Unless someone is insane, like the Madonna of the European world before Sui Xiong traveled through time, who would regard monsters as more believable than humans
The good guys are all bad guys, but the devil is very loyal. It is an anti-traditional romantic story and cannot be taken seriously!
But they were also discussing, not whether they should fight this battle, but how to fight it.
According to the opinion of the Kabbalah priest, it was best to carry the altar up the mountain, and of course he himself had to follow, so that he could use his trump card at the critical moment. But everyone did not agree and opposed it together.
It wasn't that they didn't mind carrying the altar up the mountain. The altar was made of wood and wasn't too heavy for an intermediate paladin who could pull a bull and knock down a tiger, but they didn't want the Kabbalah priest to go with them.
The sword has no eyes, especially if the opponent is a dangerous ogre. What if something happens to the priest
The two sides argued for a while, and finally the Kabbalah priest, relying on his high status, convinced everyone and settled the matter.
So they went up the mountain together, walked slowly along the steep mountain road, and came to the ogre's camp.
The camp was indeed in a mess, and the ogres had just sorted out the corpses of the deceased, and they were lying there one by one, even before the funeral could be held. And there is no mention of sentries - the two sentries were knocked off the cliff by the giant dragon. Even if they did not die, they are still struggling to survive at the bottom of the mountain. How could they come back
Speaking of which, the expedition team arrived at just the right time. During the battle with the giant dragon, many of the ogres were knocked directly out of the cliff. At this moment, several strong young ogres were going down the steep hillside, trying to see if there was any chance of escape. of. Apart from the old, weak, sick and disabled, there were only a few wounded people left in the camp.
However, even these wounded people caused great trouble to the expedition team.
How can a group of guys who can fight against a giant dragon and survive survive be so easy to deal with!
It is clear that every one of these wounded has advanced, and the weakest one is also an ogre warrior - this is enough to defeat most adventurers who have not reached the intermediate level one-on-one; the next best ones are the ogre warriors. -If he is not injured, a mid-level paladin has a 70% chance of winning in a duel with them; there is even a two-headed ogre.
Oh, the "former" two-headed ogre.
Because one of its heads had been torn off by the dragon's claws.
Fortunately, one of its heads is missing. Otherwise, if the expedition team encounters it, they really don’t know whether it is here to subjugate demons or to deliver goods to your door!
You know, the strength rating of the two-headed ogre can barely reach the "high-level" level.
This guy's two heads can think separately and are extremely sharp when fighting. What's even more frightening is that one of its heads often turns into a warlock. In other words, when fighting, it is equivalent to an excellent warrior. The ability of a warlock to cast spells at will at any time.
It's a foul, isn't it
The lost head of this two-headed ogre happened to be that of the "Warlock". As a result, he fell back to his original form from a dual-core superman with both magic and martial arts skills, and turned into a big man who was a little clumsy when walking.
Well, because it is missing one head, it is not yet very adaptable to its new state, and its movements are a bit bumpy.
"I hope it can learn a lesson in its next life, or just be reborn as a good fetus." After cutting it down, standing on its body, the strong bear-like paladin said with a smile, regardless of the serious injury to his left shoulder that was almost shattered. .
Soon he stopped laughing.
Because the young ogres who went out to look for the tribesmen who fell off the cliff came back.
The battle was extremely fierce. In the end, almost all the paladins were seriously injured, the priests also exhausted their magic power, and one of the two rangers lost a leg and became disabled.
Fortunately, this glorious victory was appreciated by His Majesty the Mask of the Void, who graciously granted divine favor and restored health to all the injured.
Including those who do not believe in Him.
When the warm holy light stood like a pillar of light in the ogre camp, the winter cleaning in Darland finally came to a successful conclusion.
