Chapter 312 de Anisberg IV
Based on the knowledge gained from the books, Henry quickly found a way to deal with soul trolls. First of all, the low-level spells such as "Thunderbolt", "Fire Trap", "Lightning", "Fireball", "Skeleton Trap", etc., can all cause very considerable damage. Secondly, you can also summon a large amount of cannon fodder, especially the fire element, which is very restrained by the troll's regenerative ability. Finally, there are the "Slowness", "Poison Spells" (which greatly reduces the magic resistance of all enemies within 10 meters), and "Monster Immobilization", which are weakening magic.
However, considering the number of enemies is a bit large, he thinks it is best to use group damage magic. After all, summoning the fire elemental requires at least level 5 magic or level 6 magic, and ordinary monsters such as wolves and ogres have little effect on trolls.
After deciding on the battle strategy, Henry and his company laid more than a dozen "flame traps" on the outside of the corridor, turning it into a death passage. It is believed that the trolls will be burned to death by at least a third or more when they pass through here. Especially in the narrow terrain here, the first wave of guys rushing up can't even retreat.
After all the preparations, he drank a potion of invisibility and made his way to the hall lightly. This place is exactly what Amon said, it is a purgatory-like scene. The trolls devoured the corpses as they tossed human heads around like balls. Most of the blood on the ground had dried up, forming a thick layer of viscous substance that exuded a rancid and fishy smell.
Looking at the leftover bones eaten everywhere, Henry only felt a stick of anger rushing straight to his brain. It's not out of kindness or anything else, it's simply that it is not acceptable for one's own kind to be used as food by other races. Perhaps the indigenous inhabitants of this world feel that this is normal. But with the memory of the earth, he was completely unbearable.
After all, humans are the only ones on Earth, and there is simply no second species that can threaten their absolute dominance. Henry, who has lived in this environment for decades, naturally has a high sense of superiority over his human identity. But unfortunately. This is not the case in the Faren Continent where he is now. Although the human race has the largest number and the widest distribution range in the main material plane, it does not have much advantage in terms of high-end combat power or technological level.
In particular, the endless emergence of monsters, Yan zhòng affected the growth of the population. Every year, they break down a large number of villages, destroying farmland and even cities. Among the most threatening are trolls, goblins and their subspecies (bear goblins, goblins, etc.), ogres, kobolds, giants and their subspecies.
Henry's attitude towards these monsters is simple, anyone who dares to enter a human gathering place or attack a merchant caravan. Kill them all. This radical behavior has already caused discontent among the original Druids near Baldur's Gate. These well-fed guys think he's upsetting the balance of nature, which is not what a great druid should do. If it weren't for Mike, the leader of the rings, who had negotiated many times. It may lead to large-scale confrontation.
The approach of the original Druids strengthened Henry's determination to replace them. Now the annual rings are rapidly accumulating strength, as long as they wait for the end of Am's adventure, they will immediately go back to eradicate these uncontrolled powers. Come to think of this. A sneer appeared on his face. Immediately afterwards, he took out his staff and shot three "fireball spells" in a row.
"Boom, boom", after three loud bangs, almost all the trolls were blown away, and many of them were still on fire. However, with the powerful regenerative abilities of the Mountain Trolls and Soul Trolls, these burns are not too severe. Henry could even see that new flesh had begun to grow in some of the charred areas, and it would have been impossible for a normal troll to recover so quickly.
The monsters quickly got up from the ground and let out a roar of rage when they saw the human standing in the doorway. The soul troll was invisible almost in a matter of seconds. The other mountain trolls also rushed forward with their claws waving. Seeing that his goal of provoking the other party had been achieved, Henry turned around and ran without hesitation. With the Boots of Speed under your feet. Soon the monsters were left far behind.
As soon as he passed through the passage full of traps, he shouted at his teammates waiting on the other side, "The enemy is coming!" All ready to fight! Shantil! Prepare for True Sight! I don't want to be attacked by soul trolls! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the trap in the hallway exploded without warning. All they heard was a series of loud noises, and then six or seven Burning Men appeared out of thin air in the passage. Without hesitation, Hina took out the fur and glass rod from the spellcasting kit, followed by the chant of the incantation, and after a few seconds, a bolt of lightning shot out from her fingertips, and the soul trolls that had already appeared were directly pierced, and they all stood in place and twitched.
Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Henry immediately added a "fire wall technique" in the passage, completely sealing the monsters' retreat. Suddenly, there seemed to be a fluctuation in the air in front of him, and he vigilantly cast a "greasy spell" in front of him, only to hear a "bang", and the invisible soul troll slipped and fell to the ground.
Naria, who was hiding behind, rushed out and shouted at the soul troll with a hideous expression: "Die! You man-eating monsters! With that, she unleashed the only first-level magic of the day, the "Burning Hand".
The grease on the ground was ignited directly by this spell, and the enemy was once again incinerated by the flames. It was at this time that Shantil finally completed the sixth-level magic "True Vision". The power of magic revealed all the invisible targets, and Hina immediately transformed into a half-dragon and rushed forward, slashing a dying soul troll under the sword in an instant.
"Sheena! Don't be in love! Bring Naria back! Henry shouted to the dragon lady. Because Narya was like crazy, and with a quick swing of her dagger pierced a soul troll with holes. However, she was obviously doing useless work, because the moment the dagger was drawn, the wound healed automatically.
"Damn! What a silly girl who doesn't make people worry! Sheena cursed under her breath, and immediately ran over and stabbed the soul troll's head with a sword, then forcibly brought Naria back like a chick.
As soon as the two of them were back in the rear, mountain trolls poured out from around the corner. Henry didn't care about teaching Narya a lesson now, and immediately raised his staff and overloaded the bombardment ahead. These guys with low IQs obviously didn't expect this to happen, and they were instantly blown up to corpses by the roaring fireball.
The soul troll, who was originally very injured, didn't even perform a single magic spell, and became a charred corpse, while the mountain troll was even more miserable, and he couldn't even find a slightly larger piece of flesh. It can be said that Henry took advantage of the narrow terrain here and successfully killed all the enemies at the lowest cost.
If it's a head-on conflict, the magic of these soul trolls alone is enough for everyone to drink a pot. Coupled with the large number of mountain trolls, it was impossible to win so easily without using a few spells above level six. As a certain archmage said, once you find yourself in a big problem, don't rush to try a different tactic or method, you will find that it will be very easy.
After coming to the Faren Continent for so many years, Henry has firmly engraved this sentence into his soul. In this world full of supernatural powers, almost all powerful creatures will have weaknesses, as long as you find them and make full use of them, even skipping the challenge is not impossible. Of course, this qiē is based on the mastery of a large amount of knowledge, and most adventurers do not read so many books.
After the battle, everyone gave Naria a hard lesson for not obeying the command and acting on her own. However, for the sake of his revenge and good attitude of admitting his mistakes, it will be over in the end. Only Henry, who knew the plot well, knew that Sir de Anies was now almost dead. If you don't vent now, when you see her father's tragic death, this aristocratic girl may completely collapse or become a complete avenger.
Know that hatred is arguably one of the most powerful forces in this world. It not only allows a person to quickly improve his personal strength in a very short period of time, but also makes people abandon the bottom line of morality and become more and more unscrupulous. There are quite a few such guys who develop to the end and become complete lunatics, and it is not surprising that even one or two cities have been reduced to ruins.
Henry didn't want his intervention to change the trajectory of Naria's life. Although her current philosophy seems a bit silly, it is much better than going to take revenge on society. You must know that there are many paladins who become crazy because of the death of their relatives or comrades-in-arms, and finally all of them degenerate into dark guards of the evil camp. The most famous of these was Erebeth of Winterfall, but her fall would not happen until two years later, in DR1372.
The group simply cleared the passageway, and then went directly around the hall in the direction of the staircase. They would rather travel far than traverse the purgatory-like hall, where the smell of blood and corpses was too heavy. After a big circle, everyone came to the back door of the kitchen to the staircase.
Here, the crowd dropped a servant who was almost killed by the troll. From his mouth, it was learned that Naria's aunt was not dead, but was trapped in the room on the west side of the second floor. Not only were there a lot of trolls patrolling the hallway upstairs, but there were also a few snake mages left behind in the library management.
Sending off the terrified servants, Naria immediately drew a sketch of the second floor of the castle on the ground. She pointed to the passage on the west side and said, "This is my aunt's room, and there is a secret passage leading to the entrance to the dungeon. According to Delson, my father must be locked up right now. ”
"So we're going to save your aunt first?" Ammon asked, scratching his head.
Naria nodded with a wry smile. "That's right. This guy is a bit of a nuisance, though...... I mean rigid, full of old notions of aristocratic supremacy. Anyway, just ignore what she says, or else...... It was nothing short of a disaster. ”
