Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 204: How to fight?

From the treasure trove of the Jackdaw tribe, Kerry brought out the best armor and weapons for his four warriors. [77nt.] They opted for round helmets and steel shields that did not interfere with sight. Originally they had chosen long guns as their weapons, but Siegel stopped them. In addition to the ice gun, it is difficult for ordinary piercing weapons to leave scars on the golem.

Kerry doesn't have to wear armor, any metal armor will become brittle and lose its toughness when he uses his full icy air. In addition to affecting activities, it will also destroy the protective effect of freezing gas. His armor was taken from the dead red dragon, and only the magic-resistant scaly dragon hide provided adequate protection at low temperatures.

The giant invited out the ice spear and solemnly tied it on his back. Then he put on the mane helmet that symbolized the power of the chief of the Jackdaw tribe, and the mane from the king of the horse hung down from the back of his head like a long braid. He came out of the longhouse, and Myrcella immediately stepped forward with the wine: "Salute to the king of the Jackdaw tribe!" She said: "Drink the wine in this cup, and I wish you invincible victory!"

Kerry took a sip from the cup and kissed his wife on the cheek. It wasn't part of the expedition ceremony, but no one cared about the love between the chief and his wife. She then handed the cup to the other warriors of the tribe, and asked them to drink a glass of wine together, sharing blessings and difficulties. There was excitement in her eyes as she stood in front of Siegel: "Bring my husband back."

Siegel took the glass, drank it, and then replied firmly: "This is the first, I promise you."

"You all listen!" Kerry stood at the front of the team and said to the people who came to see him off: "The war is about to start, so you all give me a good drill! I will go to the activities first, and I will check when I come back. Are you being lazy!"

The crowd laughed. Even in the face of the **** battlefield, they will respond with a smile, and there will never be the slightest timidity. After the original home was destroyed, everyone was holding back the idea of ​​revenge, and the Jackdaw tribe who ate the dragon meat. There is no fear of giant beasts at all. There is no grazing in winter, and there is nothing else to do except practice martial arts, so the entire tribe has entered the atmosphere of preparation for war.

"When I leave, Myrcella can do the work of the main tribe. You have to believe in her wisdom as you believe in my strength. Do you understand?"

The crowd held back laughter. Quickly nodded in agreement.

At this time, a knight came to Kerry and reported: "We have found Mr. Siegel's entourage, and he will be here soon."

"It's finally here," Siegel said. "I thought he couldn't find a place."

In order to pray for all the best, Myrcella insisted that everyone share a new glass of wine so that Maul, who was late, could be counted. Kerry and Siegel walked down the hill side by side, followed by the others. while riding a horse. The giant Kerry looked back. Myrcella was standing at the door of the longhouse holding the child, waving at him vigorously, and then raised her arm high and gave a thumbs up.

The giant did the same, then took the lead and rode towards the city wall mountains to the west.

They roared all the way, singing free and cheerful songs. Snowflakes fluttered from the sky. But it doesn't slow them down in the slightest. The Raven's return brought Siegel back with Scouts, so they went pretty well along the way.

During the break, Moore would report to Siegel about the situation in Heimland. Two demented patients were properly housed. Both Fizzack and Janet have speculated about their identities and are seeking secure channels to verify them.

"The lady guessed that it was probably the missing lord of the hub, Kira Stadt II. There was only one of the aristocratic children who disappeared near the hub, and who also liked to play the piano." Moore reported: "The identity of the other knight is unknown."

"Why didn't he get killed, but turned into an idiot and imprisoned?" Siegel couldn't think of the reason, maybe he could only know the answer when they returned to normal.

"Building a magic tower. The matter of mortgaging the Striped Gold Mine was abrupt, and some knights raised objections. However, with the support of Humke and Mana. No one would disobey the orders of the lord's wife. She invited Edith from the Association of Mages. The master discussed this matter, and the master agreed very happily. The design drawings have already been started."

"Many knights are still living on our monthly salary. The maintenance cost of armor, weapons and mounts is not cheap, and we have not given them land." Siegel said: "If they lose the gold mine, they have I can understand what I'm worried about. As long as you continue to obey the orders and keep the original pledge of allegiance, these things can be ignored."

"I also brought all the scrolls in the castle, including the ones that Master Edith took out of the library and gave to you. He said that you need to pay them back, but don't worry about it for a while." More said: "He heard that you are still a master at using various weapons, and he gave you a cloth belt to wrap around the handle of the weapon."

Siegel took the tape and found that it wasn't textile at all, it could only be made from the skin of some kind of creature. It was cut into a finger-wide, nearly two-meter-long strap, with spells permanently sealed with thorn ink on both sides. Siegel read it carefully and learned that this is an enhanced magic that can make weapons sharper and can damage ghosts and other incorporeal creatures.

Generally, this type of strengthening spell is made on the scabbard, so that the weapon can be constantly warmed up. However, due to the different shapes, and weapons such as hammers and maces do not have sheaths, this method cannot be used. The mages continued to study and made progress on the basis of their predecessors, and now they have been able to make this kind of wrapping cloth. In this way, as long as it is a hand-held weapon, it can add a sharp edge and the effect of hitting the incorporeal body for a long time.

Siegel carefully tied the gauntlet to the hilt and chanted the activation spell. They have left the confines of the "Holy Land", and magic can function normally. I saw a faint light enveloped the sword body, then trembled rhythmically, and finally disappeared slowly. Siegel used the magic-detecting spell, knowing that the Stardust had now been enchanted.

Mage spells are always evolving, and new techniques and new ideas are always coming out. Siegel's Rune Elemental Guard is an example, as is the Sharp Edge Gloves. Maybe one day, the whole world will see the convenience brought by magic everywhere. The mage is no longer a lonely researcher in the mage tower, but the backbone of changing the times. I don't know what that world will be like, it should be much better than now - as long as it is not a mage like the Knox Common Club in power.

After three days of riding, they arrived at Longshi Cliff before the snow closed the mountain. This place has been guarded by dwarves, and there are seven people on duty day and night at the sentry tower under the mountain. It is said that there are more dwarves patrolling the mountains. With the letter of passage issued by Erinte, Siegel was taken to the foot of the Dragon Lion Cliff. Four dwarf tents have been erected in the place where the Knox Commons would have set up their camp.

A red-bearded dwarf was the leader of the eight-person team, named Occam Stone. He was five hundred years old and an experienced warrior. When Siegel shook his hand, he could feel the strength of his broad palm.

Occam's voice was thick. Straight to the point: "Mr. Siegel, Erint has commissioned us to assist you. What are we going to do?"

Siegel pointed to the platform protruding from the mountainside, called everyone over, and said, "On that platform, there are two golems. Each is nearly six meters high. Three meters wide. Their attack The control range is about three meters, but I don't know how fast they move or how nimble they are. Our job is to kill them and break them into parts. Only when they are very secure can we try to capture them."

"What kind of golem?" asked the dwarf, evidently familiar with the construct.

"It's not very clear," Siegel replied. "Elint has said that these golems are very strong and can mend themselves with the dirt around them. When fighting around them, watch your feet. There may be Mud puddles appear, affecting your steps. Let's call them rock golems."

"How resistant are they to magic and the elements?"

"As far as I know, strong," Siegel said.

"Okay. Mr. Mage, this battle is not easy to fight." The dwarf said: "They are on a platform protruding from the mountainside, with a cliff on one side, and there is no similar place within a distance of several hundred meters, so they can't build trebuchets or crossbows. Cannons. Even if a platform is dug out of the mountain wall, ordinary firearms will probably not be effective - and the opponent will be able to recover."

"The formation can't be formed on the platform. The size of the golem has a great advantage. The most dangerous thing is to be knocked down by the golem, and it will definitely fall into meat sauce."

"We have defenders among us. Hammer throwers, and a rock priest. But none of us can fly."

Siegel said with a smile, "I'll worry about flying. As long as the golem can't fly, we have a chance of winning."

The dwarf blinked, looked back at the platform again, and said to Siegel, "You want to dismantle the entire platform? That's not easy. I see that the rocks on the mountain are very solid, and the construction work surface is very small, you can guarantee Don't golems attack when digging mountains?"

"So hold on to the golem," Siegel said. "Take a break first. Let me test the golem's attack method and resistance, and then we'll start building our positions."

"Position?" Kerry asked in confusion, "Isn't the battlefield on the platform?"

"I want a secure victory, so the position is essential." Siegel replied: "What if this height can't break the golem?"

The crowd entered the camp of the dwarves, and Maul took the horse to the stable, where he would take good care of the mounts and restore them to their best condition. There are dwarves here already prepared hot food, but everyone is concerned about the upcoming battle, so they quickly fill their stomachs and stop eating.

In order to be able to attack the golem, the dwarves repaired the stairs leading to the platform, and both passages are now available. Only one person can pass through each passage, and everyone can only climb up one by one. Siegel motioned for everyone to stop as they approached the platform, and took out the scroll from his backpack.

"Fossil to Mud", a spell that only works on natural rocks. Unlike Siegel's Earth Elemental Rune Guard, this spell is of little use against processed stones like city walls and foundations. However, the earth element cannot be unfolded on the steep stairs, so you still need to use the spell scroll.

The mud turned into stone flows down the mountain wall, leaving a three-meter-square pit. This is a platform for observation and support. If you shoot with a bow and arrow, it can cover a small area of ​​the platform.

"Can this be used as a platform for catapults?" Siegel asked the dwarf.

Occam stuck his head out, looked up and down, left and right, then shook his head. "Bad angles. Unless the catapult is in mid-air. Mage Siegal, can you do that?"

"One or two small trebuchets are still possible, but it's impossible to do more." Siegel said after a visual inspection.

"That's useless, it won't hit at all."

"In that case, use the original plan."

Siegel took a deep breath. Then hold his breath, this time he's going to try something he's never done before. When facing a golem, a single summoned monster cannot pose any threat. If you want to know the limit of a golem, you must increase the number of summoned objects.

He kept recalling the summoning spell in his mind, waving his wand in one hand to condense the air element. The other hand threw the dwarven rune of earth elemental convergence to the ground. The surrounding energy is all excited, and the fluctuations of the two elements affect each other. Siegel gritted his teeth, trying to make the light air element rise and the turbid earth element sink, gathering towards the core of the two elements respectively.

It's a weird feeling. There is a great sense of incongruity to overcome. It's like looking up with one eye and looking down with the other. Fortunately, the condensation of magic has inertia, and Siegel is very proficient in elemental summoning, and he does not need to keep an eye on it like a novice. When he can't be distracted, he quickly switches his attention between the two.

The whirlwind-like air element appeared faster and slammed towards the golem. Then the heavy earth element, stretched out his arms and tried to balance his body, climbed up the steps. in pursuit of quantity. Siegel summoned all small and medium-sized elements, so that he would not instantly drain the surrounding elemental energy. The first two elements climbed onto the platform, but the mage did not stop. Continue to cast Elemental Summon.

The golem sensed the invading enemy and stood up instantly. The dust attached to them was shaken off, revealing their massive bodies and stout limbs. The air element approached from the air, lightly dodging the first punch.

Just when it changed direction, the second punch caught up at a faster speed, accurately hitting the air element that was too late to dodge. Just heard a bang. Just like squeezing a balloon, the air element is directly destroyed.

The earth element climbed up. Activated its special ability: Mire. Part of the platform became a mud puddle, unable to support the weight. The golem walked straight towards the earth element as if he didn't see it. There was a rumbling sound from the broad soles of the feet.

Just as it was about to step into the quagmire, a brownish-yellow light emanated from the soles of the golem's feet, turning the quagmire back into solid ground. Siegel was summoning the next batch of elements and did not command the enemy, so the earth element was at a loss. It could only charge at the golem with its fist raised.

The golem stepped on the earth element's waist with one foot, and both fists poured down. If the body of flesh and blood is cut in half, how can there be strength to fight back? The Earth Elemental doesn't feel pain, so it still has the will to attack when it is stepped on. Before the golem's fist flattened it, its swipe left two clear scars on the enemy's ankle.

At this moment, the second and third elements climbed up, this time with fire and air elements; then the third wave was with water and earth elements. Siegel figured out the trick, as long as you don't summon opposing elements at the same time, and keep your spell power as low as possible, such summons are more stable.

Because casting spells in this way takes up the mage's full attention, this technique is of little use in actual combat. However, the current purpose is very clear, which is to test the action mode of the golem in the face of multiple enemies. There is no better "death squad" than a large number of elemental creatures.

Siegel cyclically summoned the four elemental creatures, and the surrounding magic fluctuations caused various anomalies. There were crackling sparks in the air, cracks began to appear in the rocks of the mountain, and snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky above, but disappeared without a trace before they hit the ground. A steady stream of elemental monsters finally climbed onto the platform, spawning faster than they could be destroyed.

They left scars on the golem, but they only surfaced and did not affect the golem's mobility. And in front of the golem's fist, no element can survive the second blow. The platform is getting more crowded, and the two golems have changed the way they fight. Instead of using straight punches, they open and close, spreading their arms across the space around them. When he was confident, he suddenly merged his palms and slammed the element that couldn't avoid it like a slap to death.

"Their movements are very efficient, and it is too dangerous to rely on dodging blindly." The dwarf Occam said: "Our defenders should be able to hold on, but no more than ten times."

"That's already very powerful." Kerry was very excited to see such an opponent: "If it was me, there would only be a maximum of five chances to make mistakes."

"It's best not to commit it once." The dwarf said to the giant: "After being hit, the state will decline, creating a vicious circle, and it will soon become unstoppable. Only the skills specially trained by the defender can ensure that it is always as strong as the earth. "

It seems that these elements annoyed the golems, or some mechanism was triggered by being besieged for a long time. The two golems suddenly collided with each other with their fists in front of them, making a loud buzzing sound. Siegel was very sensitive to element fluctuations, and immediately noticed the abnormality: the energy of the earth element and the air element was drawn away by the golem ~www.novelmt.com~ and was sucked into the two bodies respectively.

"Be careful!" He only had time to shout before seeing the golem attack.

The golem that sucked the power of the earth element stepped on it hard, and the soil waved like a wave, violently overturning the element standing on the ground. Fortunately, the earth element is not afraid of ground fluctuations, and it only stands firm after shaking it, while the water element suffers all disasters and is directly thrown off the platform.

The golem that sucked the power of the air element opened its palms and pushed it hard, and a gust of wind spread violently around it. The fire element was extinguished, the earth element was all overturned to the ground, and many were rolled off the ground and thrown off the platform. Only the air element remained, rolling in the air, and although it was far away from the battlefield, it did not disappear.

If the other two golems are still there, I am afraid that the power of the four elements is activated together, right? Siegel stopped summoning the little element, gasping for breath, thinking about how to deal with this situation.

"Call them elemental golems." The dwarf stroked his beard, then said in unison with the giant Kerry: "This thing is interesting!" (To be continued)
