Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 138 Mildis is curious about "Tinder".
Excited hearts, trembling hands.
Mildis felt a little man whispering in his ear, causing the hand that was wrapped around his chest to let go of it involuntarily, and then leaned forward little by little.
- How does it feel to hold the Philosopher's Stone in your hand?
- What if you change the position of those circle substrates?
- What kind of carving knife is used to carve the notched lines on the circle, this is a pure gold alloy! Can I make my own? How do you get started?
Curiosity has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Even if various promises and promises have been made before, they can't stop the little dwarf from exploring the unknown!
Of course, there was another voice in the other ear.
- No, you can't! Promised the big man not to dismantle!
- The big man gave me a lot of delicious sodas! Promised the big man not to do it!
- The young lady also gave the most beautiful music box to Mildis, and Mildis also promised the young lady!
The two voices soon became two villains, one black and one white. The black villain kept urging Mildis to do it, and the white little man kept telling the little dwarf to stick to it and keep its promises. Of course, it's useless to just say it. Adhering to the principle of never moving their mouths if they can do it, the two villains soon began to pinch each other, and then they became a ball.
Because he was still struggling with whether to dismantle the "tinder", Mildis naturally stopped with his outstretched hand.
The little dwarf blinked, and quickly focused his attention on the music box that had been opened in front of him.
Don't look at the dwarf's fingers, which are short and thick, and seem to be bulky, in fact, the dwarf's fingers are dexterous beyond imagination.
The scattered gears and various metal parts gathered together in a blink of an eye, turning into a delicate gear set, and then the gear set was lightly stuffed into the music box by the stubby fingers.
Mildis quickly put the music box away, then pinched the clockwork a few times and put it back on the ground.
The music box on the floor throbbed violently a few times, and then made a sound. Although it is still a crisp canon variation, it is obviously out of tune!
- Great! Mildis is a genius!
The little dwarf's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of joy. The black and white villains in their minds stopped fighting, and praised their master's ingenuity in unison.
- Since this box that makes a sound can be contained, then the "Tinder" must also be able to do it!
Mildis's confidence was more than ever, and his hand naturally reached forward again, touching the "fire" in front of him.
The little black man in his head sang praises loudly and danced as he sang. The little white man hesitated for a moment, then began to sing and dance.
The "tinder" was within easy reach of Mildis, and it took little effort for the little gnome to grasp it in his hands. And just before his fingers could touch the "tinder" and the cold touch of the magic metal began to pass back, the side of the camp suddenly became noisy.
The little gnome is looking for prestige. I saw that on the trees outside the camp, the figures of elves jumping up and falling one after another. As they appeared, a rattling arrow slashed across the camp. The busy camp was quiet for a moment, then it became more noisy.
"Homecoming! Homecoming! Push this thing away! ”
"Get ready to fight! Get ready for battle! ”
"Where's the spear! Hurry up, move fast! ”
Commanders at all levels shouted loudly, and the soldiers under their command immediately began to move, and they were in position in an orderly manner. Judging by the eagerness of the commanders and the calm expressions of the soldiers, it is clear that there have been many trainings.
A large man more than three meters tall appeared in Mildis's sight.
The big man has two heads on his shoulders and holds a thick tree trunk aloft as a weapon - a two-headed ogre!
The two-headed ogre is a "subspecies" of ogres, which is the product of a small probability mutation. They have more strength and an exaggerated appetite than normal ogres, and one of their heads has a higher chance of gaining spellcasting abilities. The combination of power and magic makes the two-headed ogre extremely difficult to deal with, especially when the two heads work together. Of course, most of the time both heads will be in a state of infighting......
Mildis's little hand reaching out to the "tinder" stopped. He recalled the words of the "big man" and immediately took a picture of himself with an arcane gaze.
The scene in front of him suddenly became different, and the world of "spirit" instantly unfolded in front of the little dwarf's eyes.
The left side of the two-headed ogre's head was shrouded in a dark red mist, and Mirdis immediately recognized that it was the effect of a spell of Bloodlust. The head on the right side is covered with blue air masses, a sign that the caster is gathering mana.
But that's not what Mildis is concerned about. Although the two-headed ogre is relatively rare, the little dwarf has seen it, and he has killed one with his own hands. What he wants to look at is the crystal cluster, and what he wants to look for is the spar on the quasi-crystal family.
Sure enough, Mildis soon saw a flickering dark blue glow on the two-headed ogre's right arm holding a thick tree trunk.
The crystalline hedron is filled with unstable energy, and the slightest excitation can cause an explosion, so it appears as a disorderly flickering point of light in the arcane vision, and its color is mainly distributed on the blue and red color spectrum.
A deep blue glow, constantly flickering but irregular—a distinct characteristic of crystal clusters. In other words, the two-headed ogre in front of him is a crystallized two-headed ogre of the quasi-crystal family.
Mildis's gaze shifted from side to side, and soon more flickering brilliance came into view.
More ogres appeared in the little gnome's field of vision, each with a more or less flickering brilliance. Needless to say, they all have crystallization and are transforming into crystallism.
- The big man took special care of it! Guys with crystal clusters are more difficult to deal with, so pay special attention. Oh yes! What do the big guys say, and what's the key to dealing with these guys?
Mildis tilted his head slightly, and began to think.
The momentum of the ogre charge is unparalleled. They were tall and muscular, their huge paws touching the ground, and their heavy footsteps were no less sound than those of a cavalry charging in formation. They dragged all sorts of thick tree trunks in their hands, waving with the sound of whistle blowing. Their ugly countenances and loud voices exude a natural intimidation, let alone the faint of heart, and even a battle-hardened veteran would be shocked to see them.
If such a group of guys charged when the two armies clashed, the morale of the other side would undoubtedly be devastated. However, they had dealt with trolls earlier, and the soldiers in the camp were just as stunned, but they still showed enough composure, especially ...... Especially after the two-headed ogre running at the front stepped into the trap and let out a howl louder than killing a pig.
The commander-in-chief, Viscount Thulick V. Norn, was not a man of the rules. Or rather, the Acting Lord is a man who is extremely lacking in chivalry. As long as he can weaken his opponent, he will do anything. Whether it's a crossbow or a trap, he doesn't mind using it as long as it can cause enough trouble to the enemy.
Both the knights and the militia initially rejected the "insidious" thing of traps. Every time I dig a trap, I am reluctant and seem to be forced. Especially the knights, the knights want to rely on their own strength to fight their opponents, not through some crooked ways. Fang Qiuling was initially persuaded on the grounds that "the forest is full of dark creatures, and there is no need to talk about morality with them".
The dark creatures in the Frost Mist Forest are still relatively "simple". The closed forests are rarely entered by humans, and the elves who had settled down have been gone for many years, and what they encounter most is actually fighting between their own kinds. The battle between the dark creatures is both primitive and savage, and the process of the battle is a simple and direct brainless fight, without any need to pay attention to tactics or anything. Therefore, although the dark creatures are fierce, they lack experience in dealing with intrigues and tricks, especially in dealing with traps, which are "shady tricks".
The first to use traps should have been hunters in order to catch their prey. From nimble rabbits to lions and tigers. Nowadays, traps are no longer the preserve of hunters, and the camp defense when stationed will more or less require traps to fill in the weak defensive areas. Fang Qiuling, on the other hand, demanded that the defensive traps be made more "ferocious", which made the knights and soldiers dissatisfied.
But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and traps are really useful. After digging a trap for several days in a row, almost every day, dark creatures that don't have very open eyes fall into the trap. Seeing the "harvest" in the trap every morning has become one of the pleasures of solving the boredom on the way.
And after several times because of the early "warning" of the trap to avoid the sneak attack of dark creatures, most people's minds began to loosen and change. The "insidious views" of the Acting Lord were gradually accepted by everyone.
The two-headed ogre who stepped on the trap was immediately attacked by the elven archers, and in an instant he fell to the ground from two arrows that had been driven into his eye socket.
The leading two-headed ogre fell, and more ogres followed. Many of them also stepped on the trap, and those who did not hit the trap tripped over the two trenches, one deep and one shallow. There was a loud shout in the camp, and along with the shouting came two rounds of javelins that were fired neatly!
Mirdis nodded.
- That's right! These are the bad guys!
The little dwarf grabbed the "tinder" in front of him and stood up.
- The big man said that there is a powerful crystal clan hidden inside. Because of this powerful guy, there are so many quasi-crystal clans!
- These guys are the minions of Chaos, very bad and bad, enemies of the big guys...... No, it's everyone's enemy! So destroy them!
- Mildis would love to destroy them himself, but Mildis doesn't have the magic power to wipe them all out. I guess it will take Minnie Mouse to do it, no, it will take Grandma Tai to wipe them all out at once! Mildis can't do it, but there are so many big guys here! The big man said that there is great power in numbers, and so many big men can definitely destroy them! So Mildis is going to help the big guys!
