Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 227: Exploration and new troops
Howling north wind
The cold wind on the snowfield often lasts for several days when it blows, and the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero is considered warm,
The goose-feather heavy snow can easily pile up to a thickness of two to three meters, and the vast white land has no color at all. This place is definitely a forbidden place for humans, but for the snow giants, this kind of climate It actually made them feel comfortable,
Seven snow giants are walking in the ice and snow at this time. Their movements are very brisk and not affected by the bad weather at all. Looking at it like this, they are even enjoying it.
"Brother, do we really want to find the place on the map?"
This team of seven is the Bingyan tribe warriors led by Mangu. Under Richard's order, they must first explore the places on the map and then bring back the obtained information. Richard has a good basis. Their intelligence will be used to determine whether there are still mage tower ruins in those places.
This is easy to say, but in fact it is not easy. Although the snow giants have adapted to the environment in the snowfield and are not afraid of the cold, they still need to eat. The creatures on the snowfield are not too dense. Although there are giant consumption There are also large prey such as cattle and mammoths, but they are not easy to encounter. It is difficult to encounter if you are not familiar with the hunting ground.
And even if we encounter them, it will be on the hunting grounds of other tribes. If we are discovered, there will be a conflict.
The location on the map is at least four to five hundred kilometers away from the edge of the wilderness where the magic crystal mine is located. After such a long journey, the possibility of not being discovered by other tribes without hunting is very small. This is also what Xiaoman is worried about. question,
After all, they were driven to the fringe area because of their inability to fight for hunting grounds before, and Barbarian Bones was seriously injured at that time.
"Of course, do you want to defy Lord Richard's will?"
Man Gu’s words were very certain. Xiao Man opened his mouth to say something, but finally gave up. In fact, the most he could do was complain. He really didn’t dare to disobey Richard’s order, at least not now. .
Man Gu was not very loyal to Richard. After all, he had been beaten all over his body not long ago, and not everyone was afraid of his mother. It's just that Richard happened to pinch Mangu's seven inches. Now the Bingyan tribe is completely controlled by Richard. As long as Mangu still cares about the tribe, he must conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by Richard.
Fortunately, Richard is also a normal person and has never thought about using Mangu and others as cannon fodder and doing inappropriate things. Although this mission is not easy, it is still within Mangu's psychological endurance. ,
At least Mangu was quite confident in his own strength, and since the snowfield was so big, it was not easy to meet people from other tribes.
"You guys, put down your prey immediately and get out of Shiraiwabe's hunting ground!"
Barbarian Bones:…
A snow giant suddenly walked out from behind an ice hill. The person shouting was a nine-meter snow giant. After he finished shouting, more than 30 snow giants came out one after another behind him.
This group of snow giants also brought a lot of prey, including cattle, snow deer, and two mammoths. It seemed that they had gained a lot,
This should be a hunting team from a medium-sized tribe. While hunting in the hunting ground, they accidentally ran into Man Gu and others.
Mangu and others did not bring much supplies when they set out, and they tried their best to supplement their supplies by hunting along the way, because they were always in motion. Even if they hunted in other people's hunting grounds, they would leave immediately, let alone conflicts, and even meet each other. I’ve never fought before,
This time, we met head-on. The opponent was trying to defeat them with their numerical advantage.
"We can leave here right away, but it is impossible to put down the prey."
Barbarian Bone is not a bad-tempered guy. The original code of conduct of the Ice Flame Department is to survive for the purpose of survival and try to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
It’s okay to leave this hunting ground. They have to move on anyway and are not here to occupy the hunting ground, but it is not easy to accept leaving the prey behind.
These prey are food for their exploration team for several days. I don’t know how many days it will be until the next time I encounter prey. If I hand over the prey now, I will probably starve next. This is something that Barbarian Bones must not do. Accepted.
But Mangu didn't want to think about the conflict, and the other party didn't intend to let them go easily. After all, it was a medium-sized tribe with a numerical advantage. Seeing that Mangu had a tendency to give in, they had to strike while the iron was hot.
"I say, let you put down the prey and get out of our tribe's hunting grounds. You have no right to bargain."
The Clay Man is also very angry. The arrogant attitude of the opponent's leader makes Mangu and others feel a little suffocated. Xiaoman and others are okay, they are just ordinary snow giants. Facing so many people from the opponent, they don't dare to do anything easily. Action, but Barbarian Bones is different,
Barbarian Bone is a snow giant leader whose strength has been enhanced by absorbing magic crystal magic. He can fight more than ordinary snow giants. If we really want to fight, Barbarian Bone is not afraid of the same nine-meter-level snow giant leader opposite him.
The opponent's attitude was tough. Barbarian Bone didn't say anything more. He quickly picked up the stone spear on his back and pointed it at the opponent. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
…
"Dang, Dang, Dang!"
"Bang!"
Barbarian Bones won this battle quite easily. Although they were both nine meters tall, Barbarian Bones had the magical assistance and had the upper hand from the beginning of the battle. Even though Barbarian Bones deliberately hid his magic ability, he suppressed the opponent's leader with just physical combat. Hit,
Mangu was superior in terms of strength and combat experience. After several exchanges of stone spears from both sides, Mangu found an opportunity to seize his stone spear and kicked him to the ground.
"Don't move!"
The leader of the snow giant who fell on the ground was still trying to get up. When he looked up, he saw that the tip of a stone spear was already pressed against his neck.
"Let go of the leader!"
Seeing their leader being brought down to the ground by the opponent, the snow giants who had just been watching the battle couldn't help but stepped forward one after another, trying to stop him.
Although Xiaoman and others on the other side were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, their momentum was not lost after Mangu took down the opponent's leader, and they stepped forward to confront each other.
"Stop!"
"Can we leave now?"
"Leave our tribe's hunting grounds immediately."
Man Gu didn’t say much. Sometimes after proving one’s strength, communication becomes much easier. After being knocked down by Man Gu, the opponent’s leader was obviously more wary than before. Even with his own numerical advantage, after getting up, he No order was given to attack together.
Most of the leaders of the snow giant tribe are able to weigh the pros and cons. They can only control a small amount of prey. As long as the opponent leaves immediately and is not here to occupy the hunting ground, they can actually accept it. There is no need to fight with the opponent at the expense of the loss.
After the leader of the Snow Giant Tribe stood up, the surrounding Snow Giants quickly gathered around, staring closely at Man Gu and others. Xiao Man and a few others on Man Gu's side also stared at the opposite side without showing any sign of timidity.
"Leave immediately, you have to stay in our hunting grounds again!"
"Get your people out of the way."
"Get out of the way, let them go."
Man Gu and his men quickly left with the prey under the gaze of the other party. The other party stayed behind Man Gu and others for a while, and only turned around and left after confirming that Man Gu and others had walked out of the hunting ground.
"Brother, you have become stronger again."
"Not enough."
Man Gu’s words were still brief, but Xiao Man could understand what the other party meant. If he was really strong enough, he wouldn’t be beaten to the ground by humans and forced to surrender.
"Go on, find a place as soon as possible so that you can go back and report to Lord Richard."
"Yes"
Now the Ice Flame Department has no other choice but to obey Richard's orders.
…
On the other side, Richard has rushed back to Stone Castle from the wilderness. Anyway, with Elena, the seven champion knights and the giant here, there will be no trouble with or without Richard,
Now with the Flying Dragon King and the two treasures, Richard's efficiency on traveling alone has greatly increased. He rushed back to the Stone Castle from the wilderness in less than a day's flight. As soon as the matter here was settled, Richard immediately He came to the Congress Hall of Stonefort to receive the mission reward.
"Quest: The Mystery of the Snow Giant (Completed)"
"Whether to receive the reward."
"Yes"
"Congratulations on gaining 325,600 experience points."
The experience reward for the mission is a little less than Richard expected, only more than 300,000, but if you think about it, you can probably understand that the ogres are all killed and eliminated, and the focus here is on investigation, even if The Snow Giant is stronger, and the mission rewards are not higher than those of the Ogre.
"Congratulations on getting the treasure: Giant's Ring"
"Effect 1: You can summon a giant to fight for you. Duration: one hour. Cooling time: one month."
"Effect 2: Giant Power, gain the full power of a giant. Duration: one hour."
"Congratulations on getting the bonus unit: Frost Giant X1"
Richard:? ? ?
