Chapter 0559: Ice Troll

As a mercenary team that has lived in the mountains of Firas for 7 years, the Bobcat mercenary team is extremely familiar with the terrain here, otherwise it would not have been specially selected by Hillis to be used as a helper for Jack's mage.

The members of the Bobcat Mercenary Team have a good impression of the young mage who came out of the Arcane Tower of Istir. Compared to other formal mages, Mage Jack is undoubtedly more gentle and humble, and he is not as domineering when communicating with his companions.

Truth be told, this kind of work hired by mages to accomplish some kind of task has been experienced by them in the past few years, but it is rare to have such a harmonious scene. Those mid- and low-level mages with eyes above the top are simply another copy of the stupid aristocratic lord, only more arrogant and commanding than them. In many cases, even arbitrarily using gold and mage authority to force mercenaries to carry out near-death expeditions.

However, these bad impressions of the past were completely reversed by Master Jack.

As for the identity of Jack Mage, the Bobcat mercenaries know a lot.

He is the personal disciple of the first powerful mage in Oneros City, and this kind of identity and status is far beyond their reach. As Master Jack's first outing experience, Cialis also attaches great importance to it.

On this trip, Mage Jack only took a few special items needed for the mission, and all the other loot belonged to the Lynx mercenary team, and after the mission was completed, most of the materials purchased by the mercenary team in the Arcane Tower of Istil could be discounted by 7%.

Such generous conditions are usually impossible to find with lanterns, so when Cialis approached Captain Tren as the head of the Arcane Tower, he accepted it without hesitation.

The heavy snow that had been pouring for two days finally stopped, which undoubtedly added a few more chances of victory for the upcoming hunt, and the atmosphere of the team became more and more high.

"Master Jack, how is it, can you still eat it?" The team temporarily stayed in a leeward place to wait for news, and a female ranger with a more lively personality jumped up to Jack's side.

"It's okay. But it's cold in here! Jack lifted the windshield covering his mouth and nose and revealed his own smile. A white expanse of hot air erupted from the tip of his nose, forming two thick white dragons. Although he was wearing a heavy fur coat, the cold air was still pouring into the neckline and cuffs, a feeling that he had never felt before.

Lancey, the younger sister of Captain Tren, is only 16 years old this year, but she is already a head taller than Jack. Although Lan Xi's appearance is not outstanding, because of the exercise of martial arts, her body is as elegant as an antelope and full of smart youth, which is also very attractive to men.

After all, Jack is only 13 years old this year, and he is usually polite to receive and send him in the style of a small adult, but once he encounters this kind of enthusiastic and unscrupulous "wild girl", he can't help but reveal his shyness and youthfulness. Not only did he never dare to touch the other party's big black and smart eyes when he spoke, but he even stuttered a little when he spoke, which couldn't help but make Lan Xi smile even more.

Everyone was smiling.

Along the way, there had been countless scenes like this, and everyone had a better understanding of the young Jack Mage's temperament. A young boy disguised as a dignified mage, and with a gentle and shy personality, it was hard to be malicious towards him.

It can be seen that he has a great respect for his mentor, because many of his behavior patterns are simply imitations of his own mentor. Some guys who claimed to have seen Li Xun's high-level mage said.

Soon, John Sr., a 57-year-old ranger who had gone out to investigate, returned in high spirits and brought back good news.

There was a trace of an ice troll in front of you.

Very unexpected, really unexpected.

After all, this is only the outer part of the Ice Troll's circle, and it usually takes a bit of luck to see Ice Trolls here, but now it seems that their luck is undoubtedly good.

So the team regrouped and led by John Sr. traveled across an empty ice field and found the ice trolls at the edge of a forest.

There are a total of 4 ice trolls, one adult male, two adult females, and a small one.

Ice Trolls, a collateral branch of trolls, have a skin color between white and blue. Their pointed beaks, fangs, red proboscis and slender pointed ears may make them look a little funny, but the 3-meter height of an adult ice troll, their powerful body, and their brutal and ruthless temperament can make everyone who encounters them head-on feel fearful.

They belong to the category of omnivores. From plant fruits, roots, and stems, to insects, pigs, snakes, and rats, as long as they can eat them, they eat them all. Even humans are in their recipes.

The Bobcat mercenaries came at the right time.

As they slowly walked into the battlefield from the downwind under the leadership of the forest ranger John Sr., a family of ice trolls in the forest in front of them was clearly engaged in a hunt, and their hunting target was one of the most widespread species on the continent - goblins.

As a special race left over from ancient times, goblins once overthrew the elven empire that ruled the entire plane side by side with humans, and founded a special civilization of their own - goblin empire. These guys, who look short and weak on the outside, are worthy of the envy of others in engineering and alchemy. At the height of the Goblin Empire, goblin airships, goblin shops, goblin steam trains, and goblin sawmills once traveled throughout the continent of Klein.

The cunning and greed of the goblins in the business arena have made them the most famous merchant race in Klein. And in the battle against the Elven Empire just past, the goblins built a large number of battle machines.

The battle mechs made by the siege master Hesso are typical examples. The pungent smell of fuel and the loud noise of the goblin smasher are the goblins' best use for collecting wood, cutting down a stout tree in an instant with a razor-sharp blade and slicing enemies in half. Once upon a time, this group of short-sighted guys who only wanted money became mercenaries, intervened in the civil war of mankind with their own "boom", and had extremely high popularity in Klein.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and after the Elven Empire was overthrown, humans raised their butcher knives against this former comrade-in-arms in the subsequent land battle.

For a time, more than 90% of the goblins in the Klein Continent were slaughtered by humans, and the rest were scattered and fled into some wilderness and remote places to survive. With the collapse of the civilization chain, the once highly civilized race of goblins has also fallen. Relying on its superior reproductive ability and a good stomach that eats everything, the goblin survived in the cracks of human society, and degenerated into a half-beast that only relies on instinct and is driven.

In these goblins scattered in the countryside, barren mountains, jungles and hills, you can no longer see the shadow of half of the intelligent creatures of civilization, only a group of ugly figures similar to large mice.

They resemble a group of large rats that can walk upright, with green skin, pointed beaks and big ears, dressed in simple and dirty leather armor, and holding large swords shaped like iron bars and wooden shields with gaps, gathered together, screaming and playing "games" with the ice trolls.

Yes, it's a game!

An adult ice troll is more than 3 meters tall, while a normal goblin is only more than 1 meter tall, and the two stand together, which is simply the difference between the shape of a human man and a five or six-year-old child.

The difference in physical form, the difference in strength, coupled with the asymmetry of the body, makes this confrontation comical and ridiculous.

4 Ice Trolls slaughtered more than 16 goblins.

So such a battle scene appeared again and again: a group of goblins gathered together, dared to scream and howled up, vainly trying to poke a wound in the ice troll's indigo-blue hard skin with the tattered "iron bar" and "wooden stick" in their hands, but only to end up with a broken sword and a broken stick.

The attacking goblins were reduced to a pile of torn meat sauce by the whistling wind of the ice troll's giant stone axe.

Many times, ice trolls who are overly excited to kill will raise their huge basin-like paws to kick them away and stomp them away, and occasionally raise stone axes and open their mouths to take in the blood and minced flesh of goblins dripping from above. The face of the axe, made of rough rock, was so colorful that it was impossible to tell what was sticky on it.

The death of their companion made the goblins scream in terror and fled, and the swarms rushed up just now, and now the swarms scattered and fled. After regrouping in the distance, under the loud curse of some big goblin, they forgot the lesson they had just learned, and once again raised their weapons and rushed forward......

And so on and so forth, until there is no longer a basic number that can make them forget their fears, and this suicidal attack will end.

So, it's time for them to run away with their heads in their hands.

There may be only thirty or forty goblin tribes of more than 16 people who can escape from the battlefield, but there is no need for outsiders to worry about it, and perhaps when the summer comes, this remnant tribe will be able to become a small tribe with hundreds of people again. Provided, of course, that they find enough "food" to eat.

This family of ice trolls who went out hunting were apparently collecting "food" while also nurturing their cubs. Throughout the battle, a female ice troll was by the little troll's side, teaching him how to crack open goblins' heads with a crude stone axe, stomp on their bellies, crush their limbs, and hold them in his hands like toys and play with them at will.

Although the little troll is still underage, he is also nearly 2 meters tall, and he is not stingy in front of the goblins. Even if you don't have your mother's companion, you can easily torture and kill these small "big rats".

The whole battle was too light-hearted, and the ice trolls didn't have a chance to show off their talent for ice-based spells.

Seeing that the goblins began to really flee, the other two ice trolls, one male and one female, let out a creepy roar in the sky, and began to scatter out to capture the live goblins. There is enough "food" today, and if you want to transport it all back, I am afraid that you will need the help of some "slaves".

So, taking advantage of the scattered efforts of the Ice Troll family, the Bobcat mercenary team finally got a glimpse of the opportunity and rushed out of the invisible place.

The battle is on!
