Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The Patriarch of Salou, who had fallen under the spell of Koseni, immediately fell into a state of half-sluggishness and half-trance. The silver-robed mage pointed at him and ordered, "Where is the map of the secret passages in the Vesurasa Mountains?" Come with me and get it. ”

"No...... It's a tribal treasure, I can't ......" Patriarch Salou shook his head, trying to get rid of the influence of the spell on his consciousness.

But this resistance did not last long.

Coseni accentuated his tone: "Say it quickly! My commands, which are the truth, must be obeyed! ”

"Yes, in the midst of our sacrificial offerings to Lord Zehir...... Patriarch Salou finally said the message that Koseni wanted.

By this time, Gordon's Ice Golem had crossed the riverbank, and was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Salo spear warriors defending the shore.

It was only under the guidance of Koseni that these Salou people learned how to form formations and fight, and they were naturally invincible against other natives, or tribes like the Aikans, who were not good at fighting. But in the face of a weapon like the Ice Golem, as well as the private army of the Freeman family that followed closely behind, it was vulnerable.

What made these Zehir believers even more desperate was that the ice storm released by the Ice Golem caused the temperature of the surrounding environment to drop suddenly, which was already a few points colder than the coldest winter that these natives of the southern country had experienced before.

The poisonous snakes they were going to use against their enemies also died because of this sudden change in low temperature.

The ten Ice Golems were like sharp ice picks, cutting through the Salou defenses in a devastating way. Leaving behind the corpses, the Ice Golems continued on their way with their giant fists covered in blood-stained ice slag.

The Freeman private army, which followed closely, spread out in all directions, continuing to expand the results created by the Ice Golems.

In order to adapt to jungle combat, Gordon's army was uniformly equipped with a small light round shield and a saber for both stabbing and stabbing. Whether it's weapons and equipment. Or military suze, Gordon's army is enough to crush these semi-civilized natives. What's more, he also has a sharp weapon like the Ice Golem.

Evenly matched battles do not appear today. In its place, there was a one-sided slaughter.

However, the only thing that is commendable is that when the Salou people faced such a rout, not too many people chose to flee, but most of them stayed. Bloody battle to the end - although such an act of personal valor is of little use in the face of formidable golems and well-organized battle formations.

The reason for this is that during this military operation, the entire tribe of the Salou people accompanied the army. Their idea is to rely on numbers to increase their momentum. Another point is that after defeating the Aikans, he can quickly occupy the opponent's fertile land.

Several other tribes united with the Salou had the same mind.

Although they claim to be swamp dwellers, this does not mean that the Salou people really want to live in the damp and barren swamp area for the rest of their lives. The people of Aikan used to be swamp dwellers, but TongguΓ² actively cultivated the land and transformed the swamp. It has gradually transformed into a farming tribe with a more comfortable and prosperous life.

They originally thought that after the victory, they would be able to lead their clansmen to quickly divide the fruits of victory, but they didn't expect that today they were tied to their heels because of this decision.

For Gordon, of course, this is a good thing. The more people who resist to the death, the fewer the routs, and the easier it will be to sweep the tail end in the future. He didn't want to devote a lot of troops and financial resources to the swamp and old forest for a long time to suppress bandits.

As a coalition of several tribes, it is also the strongest Salou after the defeat. This panic and sense of failure quickly spread. The Native coalition army, which had lined up a wide line along the riverbank, collapsed in record proportion.

"Your Excellency. After the bitter battle between the Northlands and the tundra orcs, I never thought that the war would be as easy as it is today. Chuck stood beside Gordon with a relaxed expression. He did not go into battle. After all, his identity is different, and now Chuck is the commander of Gordon, the commander of Count Hairin, so naturally it is impossible to fight in person often.

The former platinum centurion was only holding a shield to keep Gordon and the ladies on the lookout for possible sneak attacks by hidden arrows. As a matter of fact. It's just for show. Because Gordon maintained a state of protective arrow spells throughout the battle, there was basically no danger.

"The war was fought between two armies. And today, we are facing an enemy that is not even an organized army. So this can only be regarded as a bandit. It can't be considered a war. Gordon said.

He's in a good mood too. Because beating a child is always easier and more enjoyable than fighting a strong enemy.

Vigna was a little surprised when she heard the conversation between the two men. She was a native of Ferredon, but she spent ten years in isolation on the peninsula, living among indigenous tribes. Although she thinks that she has not wasted her time in the past ten years and has gained a lot, she has also become disconnected from the whole world.

The Salous, whom she thought were fierce and bloodthirsty and invincible, were scattered in the face of a newly trained private army from the Earl of Ferreton.

"Platinum Empire......" Venia suddenly brought back memories in her heart. Although her current identity is the most respected matriarch of the Aikan tribe, in her bones, she knows that her name is Venia. Stirling is the eldest daughter of the Stirling family, and the family fief is in the Near South Province.

She is a Ferreton nobleman.

It is precisely because of her inseparable feelings for her past that Vignia will keep her girlhood dress so well, and even appear as a noble woman of Ferreton when she meets Gordon.

Just as Gordon's army was gaining victory, an unexpected event interrupted the female druid, who was caught in memories of the past.

A redstone guard who was in charge of monitoring the situation on both flanks of the army ran over and reported to Gordon, "My lord, our Akan allies on the left flank are under heavy attack from the enemy! ”

The so-called allies of this soldier were the three hundred men led by the arrogant "general" of Aikan, Alva. It was also out of concern for Venia's face that Gordon used the term "Allied". In fact, he thinks that the other side is not even as good as cannon fodder - at least, cannon fodder will listen to commands.

Originally, Gordon didn't expect Alva's troops to be able to help, but now that this victory has been laid, and only the final sweeping work remains, the other side has actually been fiercely attacked, and the shape is precarious. It's a bit of a strange thing.

After careful questioning, Gordon knew why.

The enemy who confronted Alva's troops across the river bank had a somewhat peculiar origin. They were not indigenous to the tribe, but a group of Kut mercenaries.

The Kuts are a half-snake people on the Haywen Peninsula, who were long ago taken under the command of the King of Hyven. The Kuters are the most powerful of the many natives of the peninsula, and they have taken refuge in the Aldrich family. Abandoning primitive barbarism and embracing human weapons and tactics, he soon became one of the most important armed forces under the command of the King of Hyperven.

After the Aldrich family's elite cavalry was wiped out, the king of Hyven relied mainly on the Kuts to maintain the situation.

When Gordon was in Blackiron City, he also fought against the Cooters. These half-snake people have undergone a civilized transformation, in terms of organization and execution. It's not inferior to the human army, and there are special spellcasters like the Vicious Witch Doctor.

And due to racial reasons, the Kuters have improved their combat effectiveness in special terrain such as jungles and swamps.

The Kuts were an important armed force under the King of Hayven, and often came to the southern part of the peninsula as mercenaries to intervene in various tribal wars and make money at the same time. It was also able to expand the influence of the Aldrich family.

In this battle, Gordon had long expected the appearance of these half-snake people. It's just that he didn't expect that these troops, who were probably the strongest troops in the enemy camp, were actually hit by Alva's embroidered pillow.

In a sense, that General Aikan was really lucky.

However, even in the face of a half-snake mercenary with strong combat effectiveness, Alva's defeat was so swift, which was still a bit surprising.

Because Gordon defeated the Salou cleanly. The entire tribal coalition collapsed. And the Kut, who were on the flank, decided to break through after seeing that the situation of the battle was irreversibly in decline. Anyway, they are mercenaries, and they don't have a family by their side, so they can run away in style.

So, the Kutite commander decided to break through and cross the river. Flee to the sea, then contact the pirates who are friendly with the Aldrich family and sail north.

As a result, Alva was directly attacked by the Kut.

There were only about a hundred of these Kut mercenaries. And the armament was also far inferior to Alva's troops. If you are cautious, you can hold your ground and wait for reinforcements to arrive, even if you can't defeat the Kuters.

However, Alva wanted to prove his ability, and put on a posture of a famous general and told his subordinates, don't panic, when the enemy is on the way to cross the river, start an attack, and you can easily achieve victory.

Alva had probably read some military books that had been handed down from the "civilized world" in the north, so he knew the general military common sense of "half-crossing and attacking". But when he read from the script, he forgot a very important fact -- the racial question of the Kut.

The Kuts are half-snake people. And the part of their body that comes from reptiles is the water snake that lives in the wetland.

It is precisely because of their ancestry that the Kuts are quite water-based, and their light bodies are able to ignore the inconvenience caused by the wet and soft silt in the riverbank area.

As a result, Alva and his troops, who were in a state of slackness and slack, were crushed by the Kuts who crossed the river with lightning before they could react.

Hearing that Alva was in danger, Venia apologized to Gordon, and then, with the ability of the druid, she turned into a leopard and ran to the flank.

Gordon shook his head helplessly, and instructed Chuck, "You take a hundred people to support." ”

He didn't care if Alva lived or died, but if something happened to Vigna, the victory would be completely meaningless.

Chuck was ordered to leave, while Gordon continued to command the army to sweep away the remnants of the enemy.

Even the warlike and cruel natives who believe in evil gods are unlikely to bear the risk of more and more casualties or even extermination.

When Gordon commanded the Ice Golem to attack the enemy's camp, it didn't take long for several witch doctors, prophets, goddesses, and other old men with high status in the tribe to collectively ask Gordon to surrender.

Gordon used polygraph spells to find a few people who pretended to surrender on the spot, but in fact he was ready to take advantage of the lax guards to lead the crowd to escape, and then execute all these accomplices in a thunderous manner.

This hand immediately shocked this group of newly descended people.

After all, among these indigenous tribes, even if it is a status. The people in charge of the rituals of worshipping and communicating with the gods are no more than informal priests or shamans who are familiar with the gods. In their eyes, a five-ring mage like Gordon wields power like a true god.

Gordon ordered the soldiers to keep the surrenderers in check, limit their movements, and begin to clear their weapons.

At this time, Gordon, who thought that the operation to rescue Alva was going smoothly, heard several loud noises.

He had heard this noise countless times. Because this is the sound produced when the Fireball Technique explodes.

"Could it be that there are spellcasters among those half-snake people?"

A thought crossed Gordon's mind.

He fears that Venia and Chuck are in danger. I immediately went to the place of the incident.

Who knew that when he arrived at the scene, Gordon was now that the battle was already over. On the battlefield hill, where the corpses of the half-snake people lie everywhere, there are traces of spells everywhere.

There are small dirt pits and burning grass and trees caused by fireball bombardment; There are marks scorched black by lightning; There are large areas of vegetation frozen by cold arcane energy; There are also stones that have been corroded by acid and are uneven.

"It seems like there's been a fierce spell battle."

In this place of intensive baptism of spells, Alva, who was once proud, was now sitting on the ground, looking at the corpse of his comrades in front of him. Eyes glazed.

Chuck is commanding the Freeman family's private army, gathering the corpses of the Akan warriors scattered all over the place.

Despite doing what should have been a sad job, Chuck didn't have a sad look on his face when he saw Gordon - because the dead were Alva's subordinates.

He walked up to Gordon and explained the situation: "By the time Vigna and I arrived with our army, the battle was over. The army of the Akan people suffered heavy losses. Killed more than 100 people by the Half-Snake Man. More than 100 others have also fled, and I am afraid that by tomorrow they will not be able to collect them all. Today, our 'General' has only a dozen or so soldiers around him. And they were all so frightened that they couldn't even hold their swords. ”

Chuck and Venia were late, and someone else really saved Alva's life.

Now, this one has fallen from the sky. The man who saved the Akhn rout, almost like a savior, was chatting affectionately with the female druid.

This man, like Gordon, was also a mage. Judging by the mage robes he was wearing, Gordon was sure that this was a mage from the Arcane Federation. Because the sky-blue narrow-sleeved mage robe on the other party is the unique costume of the Arcane Federation. Rob. The leader of the Archduke Antello's mage regiment is Yolande from the Austrian Federation. Dumic. So Gordon dressed up for the mages of the Arcane Federation. It's familiar.

Gordon had long known that the Akan people had some connection with the Arcane Federation, so it was not surprising that such a mage appeared and wiped out the Kuts like a savior.

Now after Gordon's arrival. Venia introduced the mage to Gordon.

"I'm Rufa, a mage." The young man with gold-rimmed glasses and slender fingers said. When it comes to dispensing potions and performing various realizations, such dexterous hands are very important for the mage. Therefore, when many mages are looking for apprentices, they will even take their hands into account in the same way as pianists.

Although I don't know what the specific strength of the other party is, it can be seen from this small detail that this man named Lufa should be good.

"I'm Gordon. Freeman, also a mage. ”

Between spellcasters, the only thing they pay attention to is spell attainment, and it doesn't matter what title they have, so the self-introduction of the two people is very simple.

Rufa's appearance made Venia feel very good, and she introduced to Gordon: "Mr. Rufa is a student of the Lord of the Tower of Agarinster on the Isle of Nine Dawn, and he is a very talented young mage. He was the one who helped us repel pirate harassment from the Aikans. ”

Gordon nodded. It seems that this Rufa has had a long friendship with the Aikan people and their matriarch.

"Mr. Rufa, let me introduce you, this is ......"

Rufa raised his hand and took over the conversation: "Venia, this Gordon. I know where Mr. Freeman came from. In fact, on the island of Jiuyao, your great name is already known to many mages, and even the elders of our Arcane Federation will mention you from time to time. One of the things we've been talking about a lot lately is what you used to destroy the floating fortress of the Three Holy Baptists during the Battle of High Rock. To completely blow such a huge object apart in a short period of time, it takes a huge amount of arcane energy. The result of my discussions with my companions was that it would take at least two or three legendary spells to do so. Can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me how exactly you did that? ”

"It's too complicated and there's a lot of secrets involved. This is neither the time to discuss it, nor is it a topic that I think could be discussed, so I'm sorry, Mr. Rufa. ”

"It's okay, I understand." Rufa shrugged his shoulders and said, "In this way, I won't disturb the two of you." Alva seemed a little out of spirits, and I thought I should go and dismiss him. ”

After the mages of the Arcane Federation had politely left, Gordon said to Venia, "The battle is over, and we now have a large number of prisoners in our hands. Venya, what do you think we should do with these people? ”
