Chapter 165: The Ogre Tribe
"Oh no, looks like we've run into an ogre!" Awani ran back nervously, the caravan numbered four, it was difficult to hide, and if the oxen were to be let go, there would be no labor to pull them! And there are a lot of goods in the caravan, and unless you give up all the goods, there is no time to escape!
But with the profit-seeking instinct of these merchants, it is better to let them give up this batch of goods, than to kill them!
The caravan leader's teeth chattered a little when he heard this, and the ogres of the Ferguson hills, who walked this way, knew their fierceness.
"It's all you, you look like an unlucky spirit, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be so unlucky to meet an ogre!" The leader of the caravan spoke a little viciously, and his eyes widened.
Raphael yawned when he heard this, and seemed to be very unconcerned, which made the caravan leader jump up angrily, and almost wanted to smash Raphael with the iron rod placed next to the ox cart. Only the weak will rely on that mouth to attack others.
"Don't say that, these ogres are already active, even if we don't have this little brother, we will definitely encounter them!" Awani frowned slightly when he heard the words of the caravan leader, it would hurt a little when he said this, but the temper of this noble young master is really not ordinarily good, so he is not angry!
Not far away, the three ogres looked at the caravan in the distance, and they all showed excited expressions, the presence of a caravan proves that there is delicious meat, and human meat is the most delicious!
"Whoa!" These big guys are screaming and running towards here, like a herd of rhinos running, and the momentum is amazing!
"Array, defense!" Avani was at the forefront, but in Raphael's opinion, it would be nice if they could withstand a few attacks from the ogre.
"Shatter Slash!" Avani's greatsword slashed forward, one of the easier skills among warriors, and it wasn't surprising that Awani was able to learn it.
"Shield Strike!" The other hand lifted up forcefully and struck a double blow at the ogre in front of him! The ogre was in pain, seeing that the dwarf human in front of him wanted to compete with himself, grinned, and smashed the big stick in his hand hard, Awani obviously knew that he couldn't resist the ogre's attack, only to see that he was short, so that the ogre's attack fell directly, but this did not hinder Avani's offensive momentum, and the shattering slash and shield hit the ogre's knee again!
"This guy's combat experience is okay! It doesn't look like some of the previous words were all bragging! "Ogres have rough skin and thick flesh, and it is difficult to do much damage to them if you only attack their flesh, but if you attack the weak points of their bodies, they should still kneel!
However, it is clear that Avani's combat power is not enough to cut open the ogre's body, and if the weapon in his hand is a blunt weapon, it may pose a greater threat, but it also cuts the ogre's flesh and skin, but it can be seen that such an injury may not even be a minor injury for an ogre!
The skillful replacement of the attack by the companions on the side, so that Awani does not consume too much energy, this is the importance of a team!
"Hell, why are these guys so thick-skinned!" Awani finally knew why the caravan was so jealous of the ogres of the Ferguson Hills, these guys were terrifying!
The two archers put their arrows on the bowstring and shoot them at the ogre's head, which is clever, and only here can it put some pressure on the ogre!
The caravan guards on the side also rushed towards the other two ogres, dealing with them carefully!
The female assassin felt the darkness and carefully walked behind one of the ogres, "Backstab!" I saw her leap up violently, the two daggers in her hands pierced into the ogre's back, the original invincible move was greatly reduced in the face of the ogre, her brows furrowed, she didn't dare to hesitate, she clicked her feet, one turned over and fell to the ground, and waited carefully for the next attack!
It seems that there is nothing for Raphael to play in this battle, and Raphael thought so at first, but after more than ten seconds, the battle situation changed again, and a low wolf howl was heard in the distance, and there was a sound of Xi Suo, "It's kind of interesting!" Raphael listened to the sound and glanced at the ogres who were under siege.
Not only Raphael, but also Awani and the others heard these noises, and their faces suddenly turned bad.
Here come the gnolls and goblins!
When they saw the besieged ogre, they howled and rushed towards everyone, and everyone's faces turned a little pale, and the house leak happened to rain overnight! They're having a hard time dealing with these ogres, not to mention the sudden appearance of a bunch of other creatures! If they were allowed to form an encirclement, then none of the people would be able to escape today!
The caravan leader shrank behind the cargo, wanting to run but not daring to run! After all, how can the speed of human running be comparable to that of an ogre, he swept his eyes, and saw the horse of the divine steed under Raphael's crotch, his heart was ruthless, and he rushed towards Raphael, "Boy, hurry up and get off the horse, I didn't charge you a copper sol when you join my team, and this horse of yours will be our reward for us!" ”
Raphael's noise disgusted Raphael, and the little fox's eyes stared at him, and he saw a ripple in the space around the caravan leader, and then he was directly sucked in!
A few seconds later, this person reappeared, his expression was dull, he came back to his senses, looked at Raphael with a frightened face, as if he had seen a ghost, and ran in front of Raphael's eyes, this kind of guy Raphael really didn't even have the interest in killing him, killing him Raphael felt that it was a waste of magic in his body!
Not many people paid attention to the situation of the caravan leader, but it was captured by the two archers, and the disappearance, appearance, and performance of the caravan leader after appearing were all watched by them, "This is not an ordinary person!" The two archers immediately defined Raphael.
"Well done!" Raphael took out a soul crystal and handed it to the little fox, and by the way, he smoothed the hair on her body with four fingers, so that the little fox felt refreshed, took Raphael's soul crystal and gnawed it.
"Is it paid? Forget it, it's for you! "In his hand, several improved arcane missiles are heading towards the goblins and gnolls!
These arcane missiles landed in the center of them, and if it was just an ordinary arcane missile, such accuracy would definitely give his mentor a reprimand, but Raphael's arcane missile was not an ordinary version of this!
Ahem, ahem, my brother has practiced!
"Boom, boom!" When these arcane missiles landed in the center, the whole exploded, and the inside was improved again, this time the arcane missiles were attached to a small string of magic formulas of the fire blast technique, these two magic Raphaels are very familiar with, especially Raphael has the experience of creating 'ice and fire two heavens', and the research experience of elemental fusion and magic fusion is also a little bit of a doorway.
This time, the Arcane Missiles are really no different from the grenades that have been thrown out one by one, and the power is even more amazing! The ground was blasted into craters one after another, bringing flames to smash on these guys' bodies, if just the fire element alone was enough for them to drink a pot, the situation on the ground was even worse!
It's like shrapnel, they don't have a piece of good meat on their bodies, the gnolls are better, their physical fitness is passable, the goblins are miserable, the fig leaf on their bodies can't bring them any defensive effect at all, these pieces of fire clay even go directly into their bodies, so that they can only roll on the ground in pain.
Although the gnolls are better, the fur on their bodies has suddenly become the source of their pain under such an attack! Raphael was a little dissatisfied with this effect, in his opinion, the scalability and filling of the arcane missile is too strong, maybe it will really be able to achieve 'biubiubiu~' when the time comes, and the opponent will be wiped out, that feeling must be great!
Raphael didn't make a move, and as soon as he made a move, everyone looked at him!
"Magician!!" Everyone looked at Raphael with a little awe, for these little mercenary groups, if they could have a magician teammate, it would definitely be like a dream. If there is a magician in a mercenary group, there will be more tasks that can be taken, because in the future, those knowledgeable employers will even directly prescribe the career ratio they need!
So, sometimes, you'll find that large mercenary groups are in competition with each other, but they don't get into a fight, because sometimes, when an employer issues a mission to a single mercenary group that is often cared for, it may involve a single member of several mercenary groups!
"So I said, maybe I can help you when it matters." Raphael had a smile on his face, and said lightly, so that everyone's hearts were put down at once, and the appearance of a strong man can always make people feel at ease!
Avani listened to Raphael's words, his face turned red, he remembered what he had said to the young man yesterday, he thought he was taking care of his family, and now it seems that even without them, the young magician would be able to cross the Ferguson Hills alone to the city of Stanbeck.
However, this mood quickly subsided, after all, now is not the time to be ashamed, the threat of the ogre in front of him has not disappeared yet, and there are too many distractions at this time to die!
The gnolls and goblins in the back were all frightened when they saw the situation of their companions, and they wanted to run but didn't dare to run!
Raphael had been observing the situation of these guys, and when he saw this, his heart was clear for a while. Sure enough, these gnolls and goblins didn't appear for no reason, they should all be slaves of these ogres!
Not only these gnolls and goblins, but the three ogres saw that there was an extra magician in each other's lineup, and they immediately had the idea of retreating, and the shaman in the tribe told them not to provoke the magician easily!
"Magician, we have no offense!" One of the tallest ogres made a sound like a drum being beaten, but there was no pleasant sensation, on the contrary, it was unpleasant, like chewing sand in its mouth.
"Hah! Interesting! Raphael listened to this ogre speak in the lingua franca of the continent, and suddenly became interested, it seems that these ogres are more numerous than he estimated, and it is estimated that they can reach the level of a small tribe! Then the number of ogres in this Ferguson Hills is a bit too much, at least six hundred!
It may not seem like a lot, but beware, this isn't a goblin tribe, it's an ogre tribe! They are much more threatening than the Gnoll Tribe, the Goblin Tribe, and the Lizardman Tribe!
The ogre's voice immediately made a subtle change in the situation in front of him, it would definitely be a good thing if the battle could be avoided, and everyone looked at Raphael, they were all waiting for the magician to make a decision.
"Ogre, what is your purpose?" Raphael didn't say whether he would let them go or continue to fight them, but instead asked his own question first, the ogres of a small tribe would certainly not supply the tribe only by robbing the merchants. This ogre tribe has at least one or two shamans and a leader, who can be said to have escaped from barbarism and have learned how to craft simple weapons, armor, domesticate the beasts that have wandered away, and enslave other tribes as slaves under their own command to help them gather, collect, and even farm.
Then the actions of these ogres in the Ferguson Hills are a bit ambiguous, they are still completely ignorant and savage, making people think that they are just a group of uncivilized beasts! If there is no bit of cattiness in this, Raphael will not believe it!
"Magician, we won't tell you anything else! Spare us, or you will be killed by our people!" The ogres don't let their enemies go! The ogre listened to Raphael's inquiry, and said with an unkind look in his eyes, and the tone of his voice was really uncomfortable!
Faced with the threat of an ogre, Raphael didn't care at all, even if he was the only one here, he had a way to kill the three ogres!
"Are you threatening me? Ogre? If you can cooperate with me well, maybe I will be able to let you go if I am in a good mood, but if you don't cooperate, then you will have to die here. As for your people's pursuit? Do you really think I'm going to be scared? "Although he didn't care about the threat of this ogre, Raphael was really interested in this matter. After all, an ogre tribe has a lot of good stuff!
