Of course, Goron would not think of anything that the swordsman Alex could consider.
If you consider it from the perspective of recruiting "temporary partners", the Vikings are obviously a much better choice than the "Determiners". However, Goron has not forgotten his original intention. Only by extracting as much information about Montenegro from young people as possible can they deliberately get closer to them.
Later, after learning about his adoptive mother, the Emerald Dragon Princess Ysera, Goron wanted to intervene in the bounty incident of General Zuo De. Now it seems that in order to find the core character (monster) Saloman Snake, even taking into account the secret secret cards of the duelist, the Vikings are still more confident than these few noble brats who have never seen the world.
Fortunately, Goron doesn’t need to worry about how to choose. Mia, the female leader next to her, said first: “We have seen a lot of people from the mainland, and we have killed many people who call themselves brave warriors. Young people like you who are more outstanding than you are There are really not many people, except Gloria of course, so I believe you, we Vikings are willing to work with you."
These words, whether they should be said to be sarcastic or flattering, sounded particularly awkward to the ears of the young men in the decisive battle. Although they hated these rude, brutal and dirty Vikings, they really had no other better choice. Having fought against these barbarians, they knew how powerful these pirates were. Even though they had no professional cooperation or formations, these barbarians who swarmed them in a fight could always easily tear apart their perfect formations and lead them to the battlefield. The proud classic professional combination was torn into pieces.
Alex knew that this was not because of any flaws in their combination or formation itself, but simply because the strength gap between the two sides was too huge.
After the Vikings and the Duelists formally formed an alliance, Gronn also took the opportunity to introduce the cat girl Fatima to join the team. Due to Gronn's brilliance, coupled with the long-standing discrimination received by the orcs and the imminent threat of the Salamander, Threat, no one showed much interest in the half-orc girl whose profession is "thief" and whose gender is female. Who would have thought that this inconspicuous half-orc thief would actually be the famous sand cat war group under the Desert Throne? Elite.
Regarding Goron's sudden move, the cat girl Fatima originally planned to try her best to dissuade her. After all, their mission was to wait for the Desert King's mission to the empire to appear, chat with the adventurers casually, and find out the news. , what the hell are you trying to do by joining them
But when the cat lady heard the news about the appearance of the salamander, she immediately changed her mind. If nothing else, every time a salamander appears, it will affect an area of hundreds of kilometers in radius, which can take as short as a few hours or as long as ten days. The Desert King's Mission will certainly be affected as well. There was no way it would be possible to join the mission before the Salamander disappeared.
And as a resident of the desert, Fatima's fear of the Saloman snake is naturally deep in her bones. However, behind the fear, there is still a deep curiosity, a person that even the invincible Desert King in the desert is unwilling to provoke. There seems to be an opportunity to touch her at close range. It would be a lie if Fatima is not moved at all.
In this way, a temporary team was formed consisting of a nation of pirates across the seven seas, a group of young men and ladies from the imperial capital of Montenegro, a cursed hybrid ogre who transformed into a human girl, and a half-orc thieves from the sand cat tribe.
When they finally walked out of the tavern, they found that the entire sky had turned black and the wind was howling. In just a short time, the yellow sand under their feet was buried up to their ankles. The whole town was silent, and all the houses had their doors and windows tightly closed. Close, even the lights are all out.
"Is this the sand storm caused by the Salamander? It is indeed well-deserved. I can hardly open my eyes!" A big Viking man shouted at the top of his lungs. He had to shout, otherwise, his voice would directly It will be drowned out by the howling wind.
Seeing the Vikings yelling, Fatima, the only desert resident present, sneered. No matter how hard she tried, the cat lady's slightly sweet and soft voice reached the ears of everyone present: "What kind of sandstorm is this? It's just a little bit of 'flying dust' brought up by the real sandstorm. Have you seen the pure black tornado column in the distance? That is the true body of the sandstorm where the Salamander snake is hiding. Still. Yes, you should stop shouting and learn to use fighting spirit when speaking. Otherwise, if the sand storm gets closer, you will not be heard even if you shout at the top of your lungs."
Only then did everyone notice this petite beast girl with an unremarkable appearance, and then realized that at some point she had wrapped layers of clothes around her head, covered her nostrils and ears tightly, and also wore a plastic mask on her eyes. Weird windproof goggles, wrapping the eyes airtight inside.
Everyone suddenly woke up and followed her example and covered their mouths, noses and ears. As for the goggles, it was not a problem. The Vikings were used to riding dragons and riding the wind and flying into the sky. Things like goggles were also basic equipment that they never left behind. , and the spare ones can be distributed to Gronn and the duelists for use.
Although the cat girl said this was just some "flying sand and dust" and could not even be called the edge of a sandstorm, such strong winds were enough to give everyone's confidence a first blow. The houses in this border town were in the early stages of construction. Even so, some houses that were not strong enough on the edge of the town were blown down by strong winds, and the residents hiding in the houses were blown away amidst the miserable howls. Blown into the sky.
Thanks to Goron and others, they all have good strength. The Vikings have been dealing with the sea all their lives. The most terrifying storm on the sea will not be inferior to this sand storm. Everyone is just not used to the large amount of sand carried in the wind. Those sands The grains were accelerated by the storm to a terrifying speed, and bloody holes would be drawn on the skin if one was not careful. If the protection is lost, the flesh and blood body will be reduced to a skeleton by the wind and sand in the blink of an eye.
The duelist team also took out the magic scrolls they had prepared in advance. A group wind-resistant barrier instantly unfolded among the crowd. Everyone was enveloped in a light blue halo. Everyone felt better in the wind and sand. many.
This kind of group resistance-increasing magic can last for a full two hours. The scroll itself is valuable, and because it is a strategic reserve resource, it has always been priceless, but the young swordsman doesn't feel distressed at all, and he just tears it apart. , obviously they have a deep family background, and what they said about being prepared should be true.
The problem now is the mounts. The fine war horses that the duelists rode are now half-dead by the wind and sand, and are of no use at all. The flying dragons that the Vikings rode used to hide outside the town to avoid trouble. Now the sand is so big, The flying dragon couldn't fly over at all.
Just when everyone was helplessly preparing to walk, Goron raised his hand and immediately summoned a large group of shadow giant wolves. After he mastered the ghost wolf transformation, he also gained a new understanding of this related shamanic summoning technique. This was one of the reasons why he dared to pretend to be a summoner.
These giant shadow wolves are somewhere between entities and ghosts. They will not leave any footprints even if they step on the fine sand, and sandstorms will not have any impact on them. However, they can be ridden as mounts. This is why they can be ridden as mounts. The perfect mount in Sandstorm.
The addition of Gronn, Cat Girl, and Battler showed a huge impact from the beginning, which also made everyone's confidence that had just been hit become firm again.
"Let's go!"
Following Mia's order, these "Wolf Cavalry" who had just completed their job transfer immediately rushed towards the black gale pillar connecting the sky and the earth in the distance.
"Hey! Look, what is that?" the female leader Mia suddenly warned.
Everyone is a master of fighting spirit and magic. After the initial adaptation period, they are now able to speak normally in the sand storm. However, their vision and hearing are greatly affected, except for the black one in the distance. Outside the even darker gale column, normal people can't see anything more than half a meter away.
Of course, this does not include Gron. After he activated his second magical power, his vision was affected but he was still able to see things normally.
So he discovered the anomaly before the female leader Mia. Not far from them, there was actually a team active. This group of people numbered about 150 or 60 people, and they were also attacking the Black Wind Pillar. direction.
At the center of their team is a huge, golden, half-human, half-scorpion monster. It is the famous sixth-level Warcraft Emperor Scorpion King. This Warcraft talent can use a variety of powerful earth magic. It unfolds a large The barrier is enough to protect this group of people from the wind and sand.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who have the idea of Saloman Snake."
Although the range of vision of the female leader is not as good as that of Gron, it is still better than that of the opponent's group. After she discovered the Great Scorpion King first, a flash of greed and murderous intent suddenly flashed in her eyes, as if she wanted to rob them directly. Show your true nature as a pirate.
The Scorpion King also discovered Goron and the others at the next moment. Under its hissing warning sound, the group of people on the opposite side were immediately ready to fight. Goron found that their movements were uniform. Although their individual strength was not outstanding, their individual strength was not outstanding. The overall momentum is very eye-catching. Rather than being adventurers, they are more like a well-trained elite army.
Of course Mia also saw the other party's reaction, but she obviously didn't care. For the Vikings who plundered the Seven Seas, there seemed to be no object they dared not rob. Even if the opponent was an army, as long as it was not an organized fleet, The same goes for saying "rob" means "rob".
