Chapter 111 The Fallen Knight
Where is it? Where is it? Where is the enemy?
In the woods, the whole Ug tribe exploded. All the members of the tribe, men and women, old and young, rushed out of the wooden house, especially a group of hippoons. Some of them were still confused and bare, completely driven by instinctively, they raised wooden sticks and sledgehammers to look for enemies everywhere.
As soon as these gangs joined the battle group, the swamp water demons suddenly collapsed.
These hippo warriors absolutely did not have a good stubble. When they found the enemy, several people rushed over and smashed it randomly. The thick wooden sticks greeted each other's heads and necks, and put them down one in the blink of an eye.
However, their combat efficiency was still not as good as that of Leon's scout team. Ten leopard soldiers held a crossbow in their hands, so that the swamp water demon could not be defeated.
The crossbow in their hands is a standard ordnance, equipped with a special armor-breaking arrow, which can penetrate the metal armor within dozens of steps, and there is no pressure to deal with the layer of scales on the water demon.
The only disadvantage is that the shooting frequency of the crossbow is relatively low, but the lethality of one arrow is terrible. These water demons who are used to fighting melee with hippo warriors can't resist it.
What's more, there is a brave Leon rushing to the front.
He cut the water demon warlock with a knife. Leon just warmed up a little. He was very dissatisfied with the murderous intention. He stepped forward and began to chase the fleeing enemy.
Oh!
Summedly, a silver-white water arrow flew out of the darkness of the bushes and shot straight at Leon's chest.
This water arrow with the thickness of the arms came very suddenly, and the speed was even faster. Leon, who was caught off guard, had no time to dodge at all.
Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough to raise his hand and block his chest.
Bang!
The water arrow fell heavily on the surface of the knife and exploded, and the huge impact made the sword hit Leon's chest, making a dull sound.
Awesome! Leon stepped back several steps in a row, and his chest was so stuffy that he almost couldn't breathe.
Fortunately, his copper and iron bones are solid enough, and the ribs in his chest are not broken.
A dark green giant crocodile crawled out of the bushes. Its raised eyes stared at Leon, twisted its body and shook its long crocodile tail, and pulled it towards Leon!
Boom!
It was not able to hit Leon. A thick tree blocked the blow for Leon, and the huge trunk trembled with the trembling, shaking countless fallen leaves.
The warlock in the swamp water demon has the ability to tame and drive some aquatic monsters. This swamp giant crocodile was obviously brought by the warlock who had just been killed by Leon, so he vented his hatred on Leon.
But this blow has caused me a lot of trouble.
Leon rushed forward a few steps, and suddenly jumped directly to the giant crocodile facing him. Before it struggled, the burning flame-burning sword in his hand inserted down fiercely!
This time, Leon also stimulated his thunder power, and two powerful forces directly hit the giant crocodile's head along the wound caused by the sword.
Explosive!
A skinned skull of the giant crocodile was blown up directly, and the red, white and black fragments splashed everywhere, and both eyes did not know where they were going.
Hiss!
The fatally hit giant crocodile suddenly opened its mouth big enough to swallow a calf. It shook its body desperately and threw Leon out of its back.
But this is only the last return of the swamp bully. It opened its limbs and climbed forward a few steps, then collapsed to the ground and twitched, and there was no life in a blink of an eye.
Leon took a long breath. This big guy has brute force and magic, and his ability will never be small. Fortunately, he seized the opportunity to kill him with one knife, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with.
With the death of the swamp crocodile, the night battle in the woods soon came to an end. Only a few swamp water demons fled under the cover of the night, leaving at least hundreds of corpses.
Only two people were injured in the scouting squad, and no one in the Ug tribe was killed.
The way these hippo warriors handled the corpses of the swamp water demon was an eye-opener. They cut off the hands, feet and head of the water demon and put them all in animal skin pockets.
Elder Uger said that these things are worth a little money, and mercenaries who enter the forest will buy them. It is said to be a good ice water magic material.
"Lord Leon, thank you so much this time!"
After the battle was completely over, Elder Ugg expressed his gratitude to Leon between the troops cleaning up the battlefield.
This time, the swamp water demons are definitely prepared, with hundreds of warriors, a warlock and a swamp giant crocodile, which is almost the full strength of a water demon tribe.
If Leon and others hadn't found out in time and took the lead and dealt a heavy blow to the water demons who came to sneak attack, and Leon had killed the water demon warlocks and swamp crocodiles with one hand, I'm afraid that the Ug tribe would really be hit hard.
"This is what it should be!" Leon smiled and asked, "How did these water demons get here?"
The swamp water demon takes the swamp as its home rather than the forest. It is located in the hinterland of Salling, which is not close to the western swamp, and there are mountains in the middle.
"Rivers, they come through the rivers in the forest..." Elder Ug explained, "They will lurk in the water during the day and come out to attack us at night."
So that's it! Leon nodded. During the exploration of the territory, there were more than a dozen forest rivers he found, which crissscrossed to form a rather secret water network.
It is very convenient for the swamp water demon to invade the forest area through the waterway. It seems that he will strengthen his vigilance and defense in this regard in the future.
So the hippo warriors in front of us are the best water defense force!
However, Leon is not in a hurry and can't eat hot tofu. As long as the Ug tribe stays here, sooner or later it will be included in its own combat system.
At dawn, Leon left the Ug tribe with the rose and the scout team and returned to the crazy hammer camp.
After more than ten days of investigation, he had a preliminary understanding of the situation of his territory and drew a general map. Although there are still many details that need to be slowly improved, there is no need to rush.
He is going to start right away, of course, to build the cornerstone of the sal collar on the shore of the lake.
Leon has already thought about it. He has decided to build a city instead of a castle. The vast mountain forest of Salling has too much potential to dig. For future development, the model of the city is the most suitable.
But it is hard to imagine the amount of things involved and the cost of building a city from nothing. You should know that on the Glorious Continent, most cities have accumulated hundreds or even thousands of years to form the current scale pattern.
Even a small city is an amazing project.
Reon's ambition is really big.
In the afternoon of the day after leaving the Ug tribe, Leon and his party returned to the bank of the border river.
The Hammer tribe is very calm. Although this place is too small, there is no threat, and the reserve materials of the tribe can also support enough time.
After the chase of the Blood Wolf Cavalry, there was no movement at all between the Colinworth Collar and the Rock Fortress, and the whole Glay area seemed to have completely forgotten the Crazy Hammer Tribe and Salling.
But under this calm surface, there is still an undercurrent.
"In the past few days, without the gray camel caravan coming, we can't buy anything." Elder Monstein said helplessly, "I got the news that Collins received an order not to allow caravans to trade with us. They arranged rangers on the grasslands in this area."
Do you want to trap Sal to death? Leon sneered, and such a situation had long been expected by him.
And to Leon's surprise, there was a family of four in the tribe - Concordia, a knight of the Colinworth family, as well as his wife and two children.
It's just that the current Concordia is neither a member of the Collinsworth family nor a knight.
Because of his performance against Leon that day, Viscount Mailer was furious after learning about it afterwards. He not only ordered to deprive him of his knight's honor, but also made people seal his soul core.
For a beast soul warrior, if the soul core is sealed, it is equivalent to being deprived of the strongest power, which can be called one of the most severe punishments.
Concordia, who was expelled from the family, had no place in the castle. After receiving the news, Elder Monstein sent someone to invite him to join Salling.
After all, the disaster suffered by this knight is also directly related to the mad hammer tribe. Elder Monstein has a good impression of this conscienceless knight, so he is willing to help when the other party is in trouble.
Concordia, who had no way to go, had to give up everything he had in Colinworth for the sake of his family and came to the Hammer tribe to temporarily live.
When Leon saw Concordia again, the tough and heroic wolf knight looked extremely depressed, and his eyes were full of scum.
He saw that Leon only smiled reluctantly, and then bowed his head and said nothing.
Concordia's wife stood behind him and looked at Leon uneasily. The gentle woman also looked haggard.
Reon strode forward and gave Concordia a strong hug: "Concordia, on behalf of Sal, I welcome you and your family. From today on, you are the captain of our Salman's guard!"
The captain of the Lord's Guard! This is the position that only the most trusted knight in the family can hold.
Concordia raised her head in astonishment: "Lord Leon, I'm not a knight anymore!"
If the soul core is sealed, it must be unlocked by another soul casting ceremony through the temple.
And how can an expelled family knight be eligible to participate in such a ceremony?
"It's not a problem!"
Leon patted him on the shoulder and laughed.
