Chapter 64: On the eve of the Great War

Deep in the jungle, the bloodied night finally came out of the jungle, and behind him were the corpses of trolls lying on the ground, all with their heads separated.

For creatures like trolls with extraordinary regenerative abilities, the only way to create the deadliest verdict is to decapitate them.

However, the night also paid the price.

Only 6 health remains.

A total of 9 trolls, Nightnight unleashed twenty-one swords, three javelins and a short knife in his body.

The combat power of each troll is similar to his own, and the leader of the troll is an existence that has just entered the transcendent rank, and it is a miracle that Cangye can win.

Crawling to the river, Cangye endured the severe pain to clean the wound and wash away the smell of blood.

Then he bandaged himself.

The Dragonborn's extraordinary vitality saved his life, and after the wound was bandaged, the bleeding state was finally lifted, and his health was slowly restored.

"After a long period of exploration, your [First Aid] ability has been improved, and your points are +1."

Three days passed in a flash.

Night, whose health had returned to 70 points, finally left the ogre's territory and left the damned wilderness for half a day.

Except for his paleness, all values have returned to normal.

After returning to Hearthstone and handing over the completed map to the leaders, the night went down to heal in peace.

……

Because of this map, the meeting was hurriedly convened again.

The Hearthstone Lord held the map in both hands, and his bulging eyes were almost imprinted.

This map is so fucking detailed!

All the information in the ogre territory is clearly marked, all the military deployments and troop distribution in the wilderness city, as well as the possible hidden troops and high-level combat power...... All of them are clearly marked.

Accurate to the position of each ogre, at the same time, the night also added his own conjecture.

In addition to this, it was the map itself that shocked the leaders the most.

Is it really artificially made with such accurate drawing techniques? This is simply a seven-ring spell like [Memory Projection] that can only do this.

"It was just perfect!"

A middle-aged knight in military uniform let out an exclamation. The beautiful beard at the corners of the mouth is also jumping, and it seems to agree with this evaluation very much.

"Can a little mercenary really do this?"

A mage, perhaps over 200 pounds, looked at the map suspiciously, and the pride of being a spellcaster made it difficult for him to accept that such a work of art could come from the hands of a rude, savage, and dirty mercenary.

The Blood Raven Leader was also at the meeting, looking at the map in his hand, thinking of the eyes that made him feel terrified that day, this thundering orc's brain was a little short for a while.

Perhaps, I can recruit him?

This is the end of the night's shock, and Hearthstone is the most worried about the Ogre tribe's fortification and the forces they may have.

An ogre tribe capable of building a city and ready to settle here will undoubtedly suppress the living space of the surrounding city-states of Hearthstone.

The power of the ogres was beyond everyone's imagination, and the Lord of Hearthstone jumped to his feet and shouted:

"Surge! I want 20,000 people to look good for those fat guys! ”

As a result, the expedition was extended again, but this time, even the city-states five hundred kilometers away sent their own city guards, and it seemed that the lords there also felt threatened.

Today, Hearthstone has gathered more than 12,000 troops, and there are several mercenary groups that accept Hearthstone's employment, one of which is the 'Skinning Demon' mercenary group, which is a D-class regiment like the Blood Raven.

Not only that, but the Hearthstone Lord once again raised the mercenaries' salaries from 80,000 to 100,000. At the same time, he is also prepared to pay a high price for the 'House of Owls', a magical society in a neighboring city-state.

In other words, at least 8 or more mages will personally join this war to expel ogres.

……

The third day after the return of the night.

Hearthstone has increased its army to 22,000, and a total of eighteen city-states within a radius of 500 kilometers have sent troops, with a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 3,000, all of them elite.

And just the night before, Hearthstone sent someone to send a salary of 20,000 gold to the Wolf Tooth mercenary group station, and Cangye himself accepted another 5,000 gold reward.

Everyone in the mercenary group was overjoyed, and the head of the regiment took the pre-agreed share, that is, 4,000 gold, to the hands of Cangye.

It was a little surprising, although he was a little short-sighted, he was able to overcome the temptation of wealth and still distribute the salary according to the agreement, which made Cangye can't help but look up at the head of the regiment.

In fact, what Cang Ye didn't know was that the head of the regiment originally planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb to get the 4,000 gold, and even Cang Ye's personal reward had the idea of getting involved.

It's just that many D-class mercenary groups like Blood Raven and even major city-states have come here to ask if they are willing to transfer this group member. It was for this reason that Jones understood the value of the night itself.

After receiving the 4,000 gold, plus the previous one, Cangye now has a wealth of more than 10,000 gold.

That's enough money to buy a good first-order enchanted weapon.

Hearthstone is an alien city-state with a predominantly dwarf, and the dwarves are a race known for their equipment forging. In particular, the Molten Iron Dwarves and the Black Gold Fire Dwarves even know how to forge runes.

The price of weapons that have been forged by runes is more than two or three times that of weapons of the same level. Luckily, there are dwarven gear stores all over the streets in Hearthstone, and the prices are much cheaper than Rover City.

After walking three or four streets in a row, Cangye bought a scimitar engraved with rough runes and a 2.5-meter-long demon hunting spear for 3,000 gold and 5,000 gold respectively.

Both of them are first-order enchanted weapons level, and the rune blessings have many effects such as "extraordinary solidity", "penetration", "sharpness" and "armor piercing", which are rare products in the same level of equipment, and if they are placed in some large chain stores, the price will be about tripled.

Small shops are cheap but prone to fakes or shoddy, but if you have a pair of "discerning eyes", the chances of finding good things are not low.

The Scimitar will be used in conjunction with Nightnight to increase its power with dual-wielding weapons, and the Demon Hunter is the best weapon against creatures with oversized sizes.

After the battle of the Ogre City, Cangye once again accumulated a lot of experience points, and directly raised the sword fighter to level 8.

Now, almost all of the [Background Skills] that Sword Fighters can possess have appeared.

In addition to [Fight to the Death], there are also [Pain Loss], [Tenacious Will], and [Super Sense Explosion].

Among them, the effect of [Pain Loss] is to temporarily relieve the pain perception within 60s, completely turning the sword fighter into an unmatched killing machine, and at the same time temporarily locking 20% of the damage received by itself, and the cooldown time is determined according to the constitution attributes.

The effect of [Tenacious Will] lasts for 300s, and the will attribute is temporarily increased by 4 points during the test and judgment, and it can be used three times a day.

These two skills are like chicken ribs for the inhuman night, and the third one is really useful.

Super Sensory Burst: Perception is permanently increased by 50%, the ability of the five senses continues to increase by 25% during activation, the effective time is 300s, and the cooldown time is determined according to mental attributes.

The enhancement of the senses is not the most important ability to deal with the night, and the increase in the five senses attached to the superbrain with an awakening degree of less than 20% is directly superimposed to 300% of that of ordinary people.

Here's why this skill is really useful for Night:

[Super Sense Burst] is a precondition for [Sixth Sense Sprout].

Ordinary people can only have five senses, and the existence of the sixth sense is ethereal, which is called extrasensory perception. An intuitive yet plausible ability to receive external messages.

This ability is called "precognition" in the multiverse.
