Blasphemy: 6 routs
A few days after the peaceful days of the dwarves, the invaders came back with several times the number. This played right into the dwarf king's wish.
This time, more than 400 invaders came, and their arrogance was naturally very different from before. The human race walked out of the Forest of Silence and chose a slightly higher hill to cut wood and set up camp outside the forest. This time, the human race actually brought in more than a dozen war horses! They were still as cunning and vicious as ever. As soon as they walked out of the Forest of Silence, they sent out a large number of people to search for the dwarves. The dwarves did not expect that the humans would move so quickly, and a dozen dwarves who were on guard were captured.
"The Hammer of Fury" excitedly tapped the armrest of the throne. Two small earth beasts have brought back the information he needs, and a dwarf wizard in green robes is interpreting to him everything the earth beasts have seen.
The dozen dwarves sitting in the Dwarf King's meeting hall are all confidants of the "Hammer of Fury". But now there is a vacant position, which originally belonged to the Sky Eye.
The majestic voice of the Dwarf King sounded: "This time, we will teach these invading humans a lesson. We will mobilize the most elite warriors to completely bury all the invaders on this land. Go and notify Giants, get ready! Mobilize the miners and open a passage to the back of the human camp!"
"My king, should we not kill them all, but capture them?" a dwarf said hesitantly.
"Yeah!" The dwarf king's eyes were obviously displeased.
"King, the captives can be used to exchange rewards with the humans, oh, I mean, to exchange the brewing formula." The dwarf did not dare to look directly into the eyes of the dwarf king, but he insisted on finishing.
The Dwarf King hesitated, and the other dwarves whispered among themselves. It seemed that many people agreed with his idea.
Yes, I tried the taste of human spirits, and all the ales were as tasteless as water.
"Okay! That's it! Capture more prisoners! Attack the human race early the day after tomorrow!"
The person who led the human adventurers was obviously a military expert. The small camp was surrounded by mountains and rivers, occupying the entire terrain. Tall arrow towers have been erected at all important locations, and there are no blind spots from every angle.
But fighting the dwarves is different from the war within the human race. The underground is the dead end of the human race!
The dwarf king looked at the human base from a distance, smiling confidently.
The adventurers are not monolithic. In the center of the camp, Paulus is fiercely arguing with Rogge and others about the feasibility of tactics. In the last battle to lure the enemy, four of the elite Golden Lion Knights were killed and five others were injured, which made Paulus extremely sad. It was only the heavy casualties among Rogge and Jing Ge's men that kept him from having a complete attack. But this did not lessen his disgust for Rogge, a sinister and despicable guy. He said more than once that after returning, he must report everything Rogge did to Lord Ofiloch.
However, in the face of a powerful enemy, Paulus was not ignorant of the general situation. He was indispensable in regular battles against the dwarves.
The third day when the humans set up camp.
In the early morning, the sentry felt a nervous breath in the wind, and the arrow tower seemed to be shaking slightly. After a while, the sentry realized that this was not an illusion. The arrow tower was indeed shaking, and the amplitude was getting bigger and bigger. Soon the sentry discovered the source of the vibration, and countless dwarf warriors walked out of the morning mist in neat steps. In the center of their team, there were three tall and terrifying figures.
Dang! when! when! The sentries sounded the alarm as hard as they could.
"The Hammer of Fury" was riding on the Salamander, with the hammer raised high. The dwarf warriors stopped and formed a neat square formation, 500 meters in front of the human camp...
This time he brought five hundred elite dwarf warriors and three hill giants. More than three hundred soldiers were left in the underground city because of illness. But five hundred warriors are enough to deal with at least eight hundred human troops, not to mention that the enemy in front of them is no more than five hundred people?
The Dwarf King raised his hammer again. A hill giant nearly five meters tall walked towards the front of the formation. He held a stone the size of a millstone as if it were a rubber ball. With his roar, rocks were thrown out like meteors, hitting the wooden wall of the human camp. With a bang, a big hole was opened in the wall lined with logs held by one person.
The humans on the wall were in a panic, obviously not expecting that the dwarves could mobilize so many troops.
Not long after, the camp door opened wide, and the human invaders filed out and began to form an array. The number of humans also surprised the dwarf king. Instead of four hundred people, there were clearly seven or eight hundred people! However, when he thought of the 600 miners and junior warriors who were digging tunnels and preparing for a sneak attack, "Hammer of Raging Flames" still felt very at peace.
The hill giants once again threw boulders at the human beings in formation, but three fireballs flew out of the human camp and accurately hit the boulders in the air, shattering them in the air.
Throwing stones is not the specialty of the hill giants. After more than ten rounds of throwing, the three giants were obviously tired. "Hammer of Raging Flames" waved to stop. After all, they were still the main force in the battle formation. Then he raised his warhammer high again, and before the humans got into position, he shouted wildly:
"For the honor of the God of War!"
"For the honor of the God of War!" All the dwarves and giants shouted in unison!
Huh, a stream of flames spurted out from the mouth of the Earth Salamander, and it rushed towards the human race with the dwarf king on its back.
The human invaders quickly formed a formation, with the Golden Lion Knight in the center, the Dragon and Beauty Knights at the back, Jing Ge's slave-catching warriors guarding the two wings, Benjamin's Shadow Killers scattered in the formation, and the Black Warriors and The Golden Lion Knights stood in front of the battle together.
The three hill giants followed the dwarf king and rushed to the front.
The Dwarf King raised the "Hammer of Fury" high, and with a deafening roar, the war hammer hit hard. A wave of flames spanned a space of tens of meters and rushed towards the human camp, killing them in the blink of an eye. A golden lion knight and a black warrior devoured. The giants also threw the stones in their hands, knocking over a dozen people, and then they drew out the huge wooden sticks behind them and rushed towards the human position while shouting wildly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Paulus swung his sword and faced the dwarf king. The two guards of Kate and Jing Ge intercepted three hill giants respectively.
The dwarf brigade then arrived, and a melee broke out on the field.
In the battle formation, the Golden Lion Knights formed a small square team, facing the dwarfs' sudden attack but refusing to retreat even one step. In a blink of an eye, a dozen dwarves fell in front of the golden lion. Surprisingly, the dragon and beauty knights did not fall behind against the elite dwarf warriors. Anyway, the master is rich and a big weapons merchant. Rogge's men are all equipped with heavy shields, spears, battle axes and hand crossbows. This is specifically designed to deal with dwarves. The spearmen were armed with axes and spears, and rather than killing enemies, they were pushing the dwarves away. They kept wrestling with the dwarf warriors. Dwarves are born with short arms and short legs, and they also like to use battle axes. How can they kill people when they are held by these long guns?
For a while, the elite dwarf warriors were helpless against the dragon and the beautiful knight.
But the dwarves can't do anything, which doesn't mean the dragon and the beauty knights can't do anything either. As the standard configuration of the Dragon and Beauty Knight, the hand crossbow exerts unexpected power. Within such a short distance, the hand crossbow refined by the Hammer of War is enough to penetrate the chain armor of an intermediate dwarf warrior. Although the crossbow arrow does not penetrate deeply into the flesh, it is enough. You know, how can there be no reason not to feed poison on the arrow at this time? Moreover, the poison she was fed was specially prepared by Froya for the dwarf's constitution. Just to catch more live animals, this time they were given a special and powerful anesthetic.
Kate only fought against the hill giant for a few rounds alone, and was shocked by the giant's unmatched strength until the corner of her mouth bled. But Kate worked hard to stimulate her fighting spirit and refused to retreat. He knew that if he retreated, the battle formation behind him would be in chaos. Kate's body was shrouded in holy light, blood spattered, and the steel gun in her hand also left wounds on the giant.
Rogg summoned a huge sword spider and several skeleton warriors. As his understanding of necromancy deepens, the skeletons he summons are now fully equipped skeleton warriors. Now all he lacks is the soul of a strong man, so he cannot study more powerful undead creatures.
Rogg then used a short spell to bless himself with the same "power of the bull", "acceleration" and blessing as the third child. After the three magic spells were cast, Rogge on the war horse turned into a war fortress again.
And it is a very special war fortress.
Since the strong men of the dwarves were all restrained, Rogge was able to kill as if he were in a deserted area. Under the protection of sword spiders and skeleton warriors, Rogge no longer had to worry about his own safety, but instead began to worry about the safety of his future property.
He rotated "Soul Binding" in a circle and hit a dwarf century-old warrior hard with the back of his axe. There was a loud bang, and the stainless steel shield in the century-old warrior's hand was smashed to pieces, and the left arm holding the shield was also fractured. The century-old warrior had an expression of disbelief on his face, shook a few times, fell to the ground and fainted.
Even a century-old warrior is vulnerable, so why should other dwarves be afraid? Rogge became more and more confident. The tomahawk pointed forward and cut down one; the ax handle was extended backward and knocked another one unconscious; even punches and kicks were not successful. As for being accidentally hit by the dwarf warriors, it is difficult to deal with the triple protection of the "reincarnation" of the armor.
He suddenly saw Kate fighting a giant, so he galloped towards him. Kate had cooperated with him for many years and had a good understanding. With a loud shout, the fighting spirit turned into strong holy light. The giant narrowed his eyes, then let out another cry of pain and jumped up. It turned out that Rogge stabbed the giant with an ax from behind, and the entire ax tip was lost. Just because of his height, the ax hit the giant's thickest butt. The thickness of the hill giant's buttocks was far beyond Rogge's imagination. The foot-long ax tip penetrated completely, but it still didn't touch the bone.
The injured giant immediately went crazy, swinging his stick around the battlefield to chase down the despicable villains who sneaked up on him. However, his accuracy was not very good in his anger, and many dwarves were accidentally injured.
At this moment, the battlefield in the melee suddenly seemed to have stopped for a moment.
The originally clear sky was filled with dark clouds at some point. The clouds seemed to be alive, still gathering from all directions at an incredible speed.
A huge vortex quickly formed in the center of the clouds. Electric light shone in the vortex, and huge thunders kept coming. The hands of all those fighting slowed down, and they looked at the vision between heaven and earth in fear.
A female magician in red robe flew into the sky from the human camp. Her long hair was flying, and a strong red light floated on her chest. Only Rogge and a few others on the battlefield could see through the red light and see a strange-looking small tripod slowly rotating in the light ball.
Froya's cold, melodious chanting voice floated down from the air.
"The kingdom of sin!"
The little tripod suddenly started spinning crazily. The ground on the entire battlefield seemed to be alive and began to slowly squirm. Slowly, blood began to seep out of the soil.
"Hammer of Raging Flames" suddenly trembled, and all the strength drained out of his body. The Dwarf King took a deep breath and tried to regroup his energy, only to find that the power of fire that had almost become a part of his life had disappeared without a trace.
This must be the work of the witch in the sky! That **** "nation of sin"! The dwarf king roared to the sky with great anger, but when he looked around, he found that the centuries-old warriors around him were on the verge of falling. He suddenly realized that those who were swaying were those who drank from the two small barrels of whiskey that day!
For a moment, regret, self-blame, and anger filled the dwarf king's heart. But because of his responsibility as a king, he couldn't just sink into guilt. No, although the senior warriors have been cursed, the war has not been lost yet!
The underground troops are about to break out of the ground!
Froya in the sky was still chanting the spell. After a while, the spell was completed. She pointed to the ground and uttered a few words that sounded as clear as the phoenix in the sky: "The Wrath of the Abyss!"
The earth shook violently, and the sounds of subsidence coming from the underground made the dwarf king more and more desperate.
Froya tapped her jade hand repeatedly, and where her fingers touched, the ground rippled violently.
"Retreat! Retreat!" The dwarf king knew that the situation was over.
The dwarf warriors suddenly rushed towards their opponents like crazy, desperately escorting the weak dwarf king to retreat to the underground city.
"Want to retreat? Is it that easy?" Rogge snorted coldly, summoned a new sword spider, and chased after it.
"Roar!" One, no, three huge figures stopped in front of Rogge. There are dozens of dwarves beside the figure. Both the hill giants and the dwarves had a rare seriousness on their faces.
Rogg was furious and shouted: "Get the **** out of my way, dwarves are money, giants are nothing!"
The leader of the giant, who was stabbed in the **** by Rogge, replied angrily: "Despicable intruder, unless our blood is drained! Otherwise, you can't get your hands on the Dwarf Hills. Dungeon!"
Rogg suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "Do you think you can save a few more dwarves by sacrificing yourself? Look back and take a good look!"
At this time, Froya, who was like a **** and demon, had completed her third spell: "Thunder Prison Forest"!
Countless electric lights rose from the feet of the dwarf who was escaping quickly, and a radius of several hundred meters suddenly turned into a forest of thunder and fire. The electric fire took on an unusual dark green color. From time to time, a dwarf was hit by electric fire. In a blink of an eye, his whole body was covered with tiny green sparks, and he fell to the ground twitching.
In just a few hundred meters, the vast majority of the dwarf warriors were left behind by the Thunder Prison Forest...
The hill giant was extremely angry and rushed towards Rogge with a roar. Rogge sneered, mounted his horse to meet him, and slashed at the hill giant with a heart-stopping whistling sound.
The two passed by each other silently.
The giant let out a roar of pain, and the wooden stick in his hand broke into two pieces. A blood arrow was immediately marked from the chest.
Roger rode back and stared at the giant on the ground who was still alive.
The hill giant gasped hard: "This, this is impossible, you are just a human being..."
Rogge said calmly, "There is nothing impossible about this. Your biggest mistake is your weapon. That broken piece of wood is worth one silver coin at most, and what about the 'Soul Binding'? It's worth at least 10,000 gold coins. Use one The result of silver coins competing against ten thousand gold coins is your current fate! But of course you don't understand these, right? It doesn't matter, there is plenty of time for you to think about it in 'Soul Binding'!"
Another blood arrow was marked, and the huge head flew out far away.
A few sparks invisible to the naked eye were sucked into the black crystal on the 'Soul Binding'.
Rogg looked at the giant's body and said to himself: "It seems that in terms of strength, I am not inferior to you." He turned his horse's head and rushed towards the other two giants on the battlefield again.
The dwarf warriors continued one after another, using their bodies to carve a way through the 'Thunder Prison Forest', and finally escorted the dwarf king to escape back to the underground city.
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Froya chanted the spell softly, and the small tripod became crystal clear and sank into her chest. If there is an experienced old magician present, he will definitely recognize the origin of this small tripod: the artifact "The Kingdom of Sin".
After "The Kingdom of Sin" is activated, a huge magic barrier will be formed in a very wide range: the Kingdom of Sin. The size of the range depends on the magic power of the holder of the artifact. In the barrier, the holder of the artifact can cast magic one level higher than his own original magic power. At the same time, the artifact ‘Kingdom of Sin’ itself can also activate several unique and powerful magics.
Thunder Prison Forest is a powerful magic attached to the ‘Kingdom of Sin’. Prey caught in the "Thunder Prison Forest" will be immobilized for a long time, which is the most suitable spell for capturing dwarf slaves. The terrifying thing about the Thunder Prison Forest is that it has a vast area. Only one person out of ten can successfully penetrate the spell area without being hit twice.
Artifacts can also be divided into high and low, good and bad, and the ‘Kingdom of Sin’ is undoubtedly a very powerful artifact. Defeated by it, the "Rage Flame Hammer" was actually not unjust at all. Moreover, Froya had specially added some spices to the wine he drank. These spices were originally not poisonous, but after they resonated with the magical power of the 'Sin Kingdom', they turned into extremely harmful anesthetics.
Of course it is okay to turn into poison, but then Froya will have to face Roger and Benjamin who have lost their minds.
As soon as he returned to the dungeon, the dwarf king was told that all the tunnels leading to the Sunset Mountains had been broken by the earthquake just now. Due to the dislocation of the strata, the entire rock formation was blocked at the location of the original tunnel. It is estimated that it may take two months to open the tunnel again. The dwarf king, who was frightened and angry, immediately asked his attendants to help him go to the 'Gate of the Abyss' to see the old wizard Sky Eye. Accompanying him were a dozen century-old warriors who were also poisoned.
"Are you sure, do you really want to use the bloodthirsty technique?" Tianyan's voice was very calm.
"Yes! Even at the cost of fifty years of life, I will break this evil curse and fight these devils to the death!"
The centuries-old warriors behind the Dwarf King looked solemn, and their silent faces showed unyielding determination! For them, let alone fifty years of life, so what if they die tomorrow? In order to protect this home, their women and children, they are willing to pay any price!
The Eye of the Sky sighed secretly. For the old wizard, the fate of the race had already been decided when he set foot on this land. Any struggle will only add a more tragic color to the final ending.
The bloodthirsty techniques were cast on the dwarf warriors one by one. The dwarf who was under the spell was twitching on the ground in pain. After a long time, the "Rage Flame Hammer" was the first to stand up. His eyes have turned blood red, his skin has turned a strange dark red, and two long fangs have grown out of his mouth.
After a while, dwarf warriors jumped up from the ground one after another.
"My king, Nuyan has woken up from his deep sleep, and he wants to see you!" A dwarf guard eagerly reported to the dwarf king who had just completed the bloodthirsty technique.
"Raging Rock? He woke up? Great! Tell him I will be there soon!" The dwarf king was extremely excited.
Nuyan is also a giant, a giant that has been sleeping for more than three years. However, he is not a hill giant, but a much more powerful mountain giant, and he is also the giant leader of this dwarf dungeon. Nuyan is six meters tall, obviously surpassing the Hill Giant. Unlike the hill giants who have pale skin and thick bodies, Nuyan has bronze skin and a well-proportioned and muscular body.
The meeting between the dwarf king and the giant leader was simple and straightforward.
"I already know that three of my tribesmen have left me forever. But I can feel that their souls have not found peace and are struggling under the devil's flames! Hammer of Fury, my old friend, The blood of the God of War flows in our blood, and I will help you to let my people find peace after death, so that your people can live happily in the underground city again!"
"Dear Nu Yan, I have no doubt about your determination. It's just that the devil is far more powerful than you and I imagined! There is also an extremely evil weapon in the devil's hands, and this time I was defeated by it. On top of the magic weapon! My friend, I hope you can take your people out of here and return to the Sunset Mountains, to a place where the devil cannot reach."
"Dear Raging Flame God Hammer, the road to the west has been blocked by the devil. We have only one battle and no other way. Three years of sleep has allowed me to see a world that I could not peek into before. The angry who woke up The rock is stronger than before, and I will challenge these demons. I have already felt the magic weapon, and it is recovering its power, but it will not be usable in two days. So we have to fight these demons as soon as possible!"
"There is also unspeakable evil beneath the Gate of the Abyss. When necessary, I will release them and let the demons kill each other with my flesh and blood."
"Dear Flame Hammer, I can feel your sadness. Let our fate be decided tomorrow!"
The night passed quickly, and Rogge and his allies did not get much rest. Cleaning the battlefield took too much time. But this is just like picking up gold coins in a pile of rocks. No one will find it dirty or tiring, except Froya.
In this battle, more than a hundred dwarf warriors were killed and nearly 400 were captured alive. What made Rogge even more happy was that there were good warrior souls floating everywhere on the battlefield. Fatty's insight beyond worldly understanding allowed him to clearly observe whether these souls were dwarves or humans during their lifetime, and he could even tell which person's soul they belonged to.
For the dragon and beauty knights who had followed him for many years, Rogge sent their souls to... well, where should they be sent? The heaven where gods live is obviously not suitable. These evil-doers will be even more burned by the karma fire of **** when they go to the underworld. As for the Demon Realm, that is a place where only the strong can go. Even Rogge himself is not considered a strong one, let alone these subordinates. The Dragon and the Beautiful Knight is just a bit more despicable and sinister.
After thinking about it, Rogge sent the souls of more than a dozen dragons and beauty knights who died in the battle to the other world where Fengyue was. As for whether Fengyue, who is becoming more and more assertive, can like this group of people, it depends on their fate.
No soul of the Golden Lion Knight can be spared, and Jing Ge’s men are also good players. In terms of his attitude towards souls, Rogge has always only judged heroes based on their strength and weakness, without any racial discrimination. As long as the soul has a certain strength, Fatty will accept anyone who comes, and it will be a good material for testing necromancy magic in the future.
Of course the fat man cannot let others know that he is collecting souls. He shuttled around the battlefield, greeting every soldier cleaning the battlefield amiably. Rogge could call everyone by name, and the fat man without any pretensions quickly won everyone's favor. Turning around the battlefield, a pale flame began to burn in the black crystal on the battle ax "Soul Binding". The entire battle ax began to glow with a hazy white light.
Rogg suddenly cut off a small tree with an axe, and the crown of the small tree withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Rogge accidentally discovered that when a large number of souls were stored in the 'Soul Binding', the battle ax began to automatically have a powerful curse effect.
Of course, such an evil weapon cannot be carried around openly. The soul inside must be disposed of as soon as possible. It would be a good choice to try to refine a few undead creatures.
After all, in human society, the two big golden words "justice" must be plastered on one's face.
The effect of 'Soul Binding' cannot be hidden from Froya, who is a master of magic. But the little witch herself also has serious dark tendencies, and she doesn't dislike Rogge's behavior of increasing his strength by any means necessary. At least the fat man's secret won't be exposed. Rogge is now very respectful and obedient to her words. He doesn't need this secret for the time being, but it's hard to say in the future.
Rogg carried the tomahawk that was full of evil, cold, and death aura and ran all the way, wanting to sneak back to his tent.
"Stop! Where do you want to sneak away?"
Rogg was frightened and sweated profusely. When he looked back, Froya was staring at him with a half-smile. He hid the 'Bound Soul' behind his back and said politely: "Hey, this, Your Highness, you know that today's battle is very hard, yes, the villain is quite tired, and wants to go back and take a rest!"
"Show me what's behind you!" Froya's eyes were full of smiles.
Rogg was sweating profusely and said: "It's just the villain's broken axe."
"Hmph, you are really good at sweating. You break out in a cold sweat when I ask you something. Have you practiced specially? Stand still and don't move!" Froya said and went around to Rogge's behind.
"So that's it! It seems that you, the necromancer, have gained a lot. Is this fat body fake?" The little goblin approached Rogge and pulled the fat on Rogge's face hard, causing pain. Derog grinned.
Froya snatched the 'Bound Soul' from Rogge's hand, but she did not expect it to be so heavy. With a cry of surprise, the battle ax fell to the ground, creating a deep pit. After receiving this shock, the souls inside the 'Bound Soul' became restless. The entire tomahawk glowed with green light, and puffs of faint green smoke flew around the tomahawk, constantly trying to escape from the tomahawk. Around ~IndoMTL.com~, I am always pulled back by an invisible force.
The 'Bound Soul' shook the ground and made a shrill sound, like a ghost crying in the middle of the night.
Froya stared at Rogge and smiled: "You want to refine the soul in this ax into an undead creature, right? I didn't expect this broken ax to be so heavy!"
Froya tried to increase her strength several times, and even gave herself the "Power of God" that was higher than the "Power of the Barbarian Bull", but she couldn't lift the bound soul, so she finally gave up. She looked at Rogge with interest, as if looking at a magical beast that had never appeared before. "Okay, **** fat man, how do you have so much strength? It seems you have hidden a lot of things from me!"
Rogg felt extremely guilty and hurriedly said: "How dare you, a villain!"
"Hmph! I'll settle this with you later! You don't have anything in your camp, so you should go to my laboratory to practice your undead creatures! Your level of death magic is not that good either. I’ll teach you something more by the way!”
Roger thought he heard wrongly: "What? Your Highness, are you kidding me?"
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you come over here quickly with your broken axe?" Froya walked directly to her tent.
