Crown of Chaos

Chapter 169, First Drop of Blood

In the distance, Aaron and others saw an orc team.

The orc squad consists of an orc officer, several orc soldiers and a small number of retinues. Orc retinues are often composed of complex members. They welcome giants, ogres, trolls and other races to join them and become one of them. They will also choose to enslave goblins, kobolds, gnolls and other races that they consider to be inferior. The reproductive power of orcs is so strong that they can mix with almost any creature, which is comparable to dragons. .

Therefore, there is also a powerful hybrid species between orcs and dragons, called "dragon orcs". This kind of dragon orc has an orc in its upper body and a crawling dragon in its lower body. It has a huge body and amazing fighting power. Not only is it powerful in strength and physique, but many Dragon orcs are all born sorcerers.

It is said that there are a few dragon orc tribes in the Anonok Desert in the north of Cormyr.

The followers of this orc team are several jackals armed with chain hammers and equipped with poisonous arrows. These guys are not very strong and cannot be said to be particularly powerful monsters. They are just cunning.

"Shh!"

The four-person team hid in the forest. Disma, the leader, observed the movements of the orc team and signaled Aaron his plan.

I'll deal with that orc officer and I'll leave the rest to you.

The second senior's plan is really simple and crude.

Aaron did not object. Instead, he was thinking about the role of the ranger profession in adventure. Rangers and rogues have the same problem, that is, they are good at taking risks but not good at fighting. Once they fall into a protracted war, the ranger's troubles will follow. Time gets bigger.

But compared to rogues, rangers are much more flexible. Each ranger will choose and carefully practice the terrain he is good at - in this terrain, they can move like a fish in water with ease.

For example, the terrain that Disma is good at is the forest. Unless it is affected by magic, Disma will not get lost in the forest, will not be ambushed, will not be slowed down by difficult terrain, and can stay hidden for a long time. Down.

Therefore, people always refer to the Ranger as a profession of "Dragon at Home, Worm at Away".

"Is this my specialty in terrain?"

——Questions that rangers always have to think about before taking risks

Another advantageous factor is that most rangers know some minor spells. The appropriate combination of spells makes the ranger's combat method very flexible.

Aaron thought it was a good idea to take a look at the strength of the second senior and his cousin.

The Chaos God Warlock made a gesture, and Eleanor understood immediately. The priestess raised her war hammer, and a standard silence spell was prepared. Maximian opened the monk's robe and took down the longbow behind him, while Disma He jumped up in small steps, like an old ape, climbing up the snowy treetops without any effort and without making any sound.

The swords were already unsheathed, and Disma in the darkness was already aiming at the orc officer.

At this time, the tall orc officer was still scolding his men, especially the jackals. This orc officer was tall, with arms as strong as two iron pillars, and a messy black head like straw. His hair was simply tied back, and strong leather armor covered most of his body. On his shoulders were a pair of iron shoulder armors, one larger and one smaller. They were obviously ripped off from other creatures. .

The orc officer was angry because patrolling was a stupid job for the orcs.

He paid no attention to the movement in the forest.

This gave Disma an excellent opportunity.

Thorn Raider Trait - Sneak Attack!

The second senior student was like a fallen leaf, leaping down from the treetops lightly and swiftly. His figure was not exposed until he was within five meters of the orc officer. The scimitar and dagger in his hand followed the gap in the orc officer's leather armor. Pierced directly from his back!

Dual weapon attack! The sword penetrated from behind, and the orc officer's heart had been pierced.

Kill with one blow!

"Ha!" Disma stepped on the orc officer's shoulder. He laughed and pulled out the sword with both feet and flew into the sky.

The orc officer only had time to cover his chest with both hands. He shouted, and dirty blood flowed out from between his fingers. He also tried to struggle to signal his subordinates to sound the alarm, but found that no sound could be heard from his throat.

Eleanor's silence spell has been activated.

And along with Miss Priest's silence technique came arrows that pierced the air!

A silent arrow shot through the air, carrying a special energy. An orc soldier who was close to the orc officer was pierced through the chest by the arrow. He looked in disbelief that his thick leather armor had no effect at all. , killed immediately.

A monk from the Sword Saint Sect, a natural weapon—longbow shooting!

The second arrow continued to fly. The second orc soldier had just raised his double-headed battle axe, and the arrow directly penetrated his iron helmet and sank deeply into his head.

The monks of the Arrow Saint Sect don't care what armor you wear, every shot they make is a magic shot, and ordinary equipment is like paper to them!

The orc team suddenly fell into chaos. After just one encounter, their leader and two deputies were killed on the spot. The remaining orcs were at a loss and could only rely on instinct to fight.

This gave Disma the best opportunity. The Thorn Raider flipped several times in the air, and he quickly landed. With the force of his fall, the swords in his hands spun into a whirlwind of death, mixed with falling, exhaling, and body movements. With such power, when the scimitar slashed open the skull of an orc, the dagger in his hand also followed the trend and chopped the body of a jackal into two ends from the waist!

The body fell to the ground, black blood gushing out, and Disma smiled and began the fight.

Similarly, Maximian, a monk from the Sword Saint Sect not far away, also put away his long bow. There were only 32 arrows in his cousin's quiver. The number was limited and should not be wasted. The fine steel long bow customized from Foujar The sword was unsheathed, like a skilled hunter, and he started hunting.

The last person to join the battlefield was Eleanor. Miss Priest's pace was not fast. She swung the Hand of the Moon hammer, and the moonlight shone on the hammer head. When the hammer fell, the orc's head exploded, and the white brains sprayed everywhere.

In just one minute, more than half of the patrol team consisting of more than a dozen people was slaughtered. The one who felt the most joy was Disma. The second senior student penetrated the orc soldier's thigh with his sword, and the blade penetrated deeply into the ground. After admiring the orc's struggle for a second, he chopped off his head with a scimitar.

The remaining enemies finally felt afraid, and the two orcs and several gnolls fled. They tried hard to make a sound to warn their friendly forces.

What they responded to were more than a dozen Chaos Missiles flying from the air. Aaron didn't know when he was stuck in position. The Chaos God Warlock smiled, and his Chaos Missile Storm killed all the enemies who escaped.

In less than two minutes, the orc team was completely wiped out.

Not a difficult battle.

"Appetizers, a good sign." Disma sniffed the smell of blood in the air with satisfaction. The second senior played with his dagger and said with a little regret, "It would be great if there was an ogre."

"If there is an ogre, Aaron should be the first to take action." Maximian tried to recover arrows from the orc corpse. The Sword Saint Sect monk smiled at Aaron who was slowly approaching: "Awesome. Aaron, even without us, you should be able to handle this team by yourself."

"Yes, including the ogres." Aaron nodded, and he gestured: "Just clean it up, we are not here to hunt."

"Don't delay, senior, cousin." Eleanor took over the words naturally. Miss Priest's boots passed through the orc's corpse, and she touched the head of a gnoll corpse with no scars on it. She looked at the gnoll's head. After being crushed by himself, Luoluo said generously: "Hurry up."

I don’t know when Eleanor began to naturally use Aaron’s social relationship to call others.

Disma and Maximian looked at each other, and seeing that Aaron had no expression, they nodded in agreement to Eleanor.

The orcs really have no wealth to speak of. A group of adventurers once learned that an orc lair contained "wealth sufficient to make the orc god Gruumsh ecstatic", so they decided to conquer the orc lair. As a result, after going through many hardships After suffering, they found the so-called "wealth" deep in the orc lair.

A large necklace made of about 100 elf ears.

The adventurers who suffered heavy casualties were dumbfounded.

This thing is really a treasure to the orcs. It is said that there are a lot of Gruumsh voters among the orcs. They have a unified title called "Eye of Gruumsh", and those who want to become Gruumsh The most basic condition for the Eye of Shi is to kill an elf yourself.

After cleaning up the battlefield a little, Aaron summoned the Fire of Tzeentch to burn the bodies of the orcs and gnolls into a charred mess. Everyone continued to set off, relying on Disma's forest terrain as a ranger's advanced profession, and they eliminated them one after another. He picked up a few orc patrol guards and slowly approached the Silver Virgin Shrine on the outskirts of Arabelle according to the marks on the map.

In fact, with Disma's reconnaissance ability and Aaron's magic ability, there was no need for them to fight one battle after another along the way. The combat effectiveness of these orc patrol soldiers was only at the apprentice level. With four people The strength of the elite squad makes it easy to deal with them.

It's just that none of the four people came up with the idea of ​​​​avoiding the battle. Firstly, it was because of the evil nature of the orcs, and secondly because this was the first time for the four of them to go on an adventure. Their previous tacit understanding was not good, and they needed some simple battles to develop a tacit understanding.

For example, Disma's fighting style is always too impatient, and he likes to grab heads and credits, while Maximian's fighting style is too smooth. As a monk of the Sword Saint Sect, Maximian is still used to fighting with a longbow. Probably because of his long life of fishing and hunting, he was accustomed to avoiding risks and pursuing maximum damage through minimum consumption.

Aaron didn't see any intention of using Monk's strongest shock punch in the early stage.

Aaron's fighting style is also different from traditional warlocks. Traditional warlocks are often arrogant and violent. They like to use the magic of the plasticity system to attack, but Aaron does not like to perform like this. He defines himself as a control position. and last-hitting positions, and also takes on a little bit of the leadership responsibility.

However, Eleanor, the priest of Suellen who should really bear the responsibility of being a leader, has a violent look on her face, always going up to crack the skulls of the orcs.

These are areas where the team needs to adjust.

After advancing in the forest for more than three hours, we were very close to the Sullun Temple.

Seeing that there were no enemies around, the four of them took a break. Seeing this, Aaron asked Disma: "Speaking of which, senior, didn't I hear that rangers all have animal conversations and animal companions? Why didn't I see you?" have?"

"Me? I never use that thing." Disma jumped directly to the five-meter treetop. He took out a round iron pot from his waist and filled it with whiskey. The second senior student subconsciously Di wanted to hang the liquor through the straps and give Aaron a sip: "Come?"

"I'm a warlock, senior." Aaron refused.

Maximian instinctively reached out to take it, but Disma took back the iron pot the moment Aaron refused, leaving the Sword Saint Sect monk's hand hanging in the air in embarrassment for a long time.

Maximian was a drinker, and few monks had a habit of abstaining from alcohol. There was even a unique sect of monks in the Karatu continent called the "Drunken Master Monks" who pursued spiritual pursuits through drinking a lot of alcohol. trance to obtain the most accurate timing of blocking and counterattack.

Eleanor, on the other hand, had no intention of taking it from beginning to end. Miss Vicarage was mysophobic in this regard, and she did not like to use a wine flask that others had drank from.

"No." Disma took back the iron pot, and the second senior said in a rough voice: "There has never been such a thing. Aren't you very good at communicating with other creatures? You can do what you want! Don't always rely on Me, junior."

Oh, Aaron got it.

It’s not that Disma doesn’t use it, it’s that he doesn’t know how to do it, but Disma won’t say he doesn’t know how, so he says he doesn’t use it.

There are also many schools of Rangers, among which the Beastmaster School, Hunter School, and Beast Tamer School mostly have animal companions, but Disma, a school that is obviously close to combat, assassination, patrolling, and reconnaissance, may not have animal companions.

Aaron stopped the question appropriately. He felt the three moon gems on his body that Su Lun personally gave him, and then asked: "By the way, have any of you ever been to this temple?"

Disma did not answer. Since he did not answer, he must not know, but Disma would not say that he did not know, so he remained silent.

"I have been there." Maximian raised his hand, and his cousin smiled awkwardly: "But that was a long time ago. I only remember that the temple of our Lord here in Arabelle is quite big and can be accommodated. Lots of people, a big pool and garden.”

"Each of our Lord's temples has large pools and gardens, cousin." Aaron corrected with a half-smile.

Then he turned his attention to Eleanor: "Eleanor?"

"I have been here many times. Arabelle's temple was once a glorious place. Although this is not the main temple of my Lord, it has an inner courtyard, a church, an outer courtyard, a garden, and a pool. It used to be in the inner courtyard hall. It was filled with hundreds of distinguished guests, birds sang outside the window, everyone shared food and praised our Lord."

A trace of memory flashed across Eleanor's delicate face, and the pastor lady sighed: "I don't know what the situation will become now."

"Are you familiar with the internal structure?" Aaron pinched his chin.

"Of course, they are generally familiar. I am my Lord's pastor after all~ Aaron, you guy, can't you completely trust me for once?" Eleanor waved her hammer at Aaron to express her displeasure.

Disma, who was standing vigilantly on the treetops, subconsciously moved his eyes away when he saw this. The second senior's mind suddenly imagined the image of Miss Maria Lysa saying these words to him, and his fists couldn't help but harden. .

Maximian smiled kindly. His cousin had always admired Eleanor and approved of Aaron and Eleanor's affairs. He deeply blessed their romance and was a staunch Eleanorist.

After a brief rest, the four of them walked for a while, and finally gradually approached the Sullun Temple in the afternoon.

Disma reported that there were about thirty orcs having a banquet in the Temple of Selun, howling strange war cries, surrounding an orc.

The orc leader only has one eye.

"Evil has taken root in the temple of my lord." Aaron began to prepare the five-ring magic - the torture of Slaanesh.

"What we have to do is to kill them all on behalf of justice!"
