Broad World - Chapter 314
Chapter 312 D’Annisborg 4
Based on the knowledge obtained in the book, Henry quickly found a way to deal with the soul troll. First of all, the “Thunder and Lightning”, “Fire Trap”, “Lightning”, “Fireball”, and “Skeleton Trap” in the low-level spells can cause considerable damage. Secondly, it can also summon a lot of cannon fodder, especially the fire element which restrains the troll’s regeneration ability very much. Finally, there are control and weakening magics like “slow spell”, “poison spell” (significantly reduce the magic resistance of all enemies within ten meters), and “monster fixation”.
However, considering the large number of enemies, he thinks it is the most cost-effective to use group-damaging magic. After all, summoning the fire element requires at least level 5 magic or level 6 magic, and ordinary monsters such as evil wolves and ogres have no effect on trolls.
After deciding on his combat strategy, Henry placed more than a dozen “flame traps” on the outside of the corridor, turning it into a death channel. I believe that when the trolls pass by here, they will be burnt to death at least one-third, or even more. Especially in the narrow terrain here, the guys who rushed up in the first wave couldn’t even retreat.
After finishing all the preparations, he drank a bottle of invisibility potion and walked to the hall lightly. It was exactly the same as Imoen said, it was a purgatory scene. The trolls were devouring corpses while throwing human heads around like balls. Most of the blood on the ground has been dry, forming a thick viscous substance, exuding rancidity and fishy smell.
Seeing the leftover bones eaten all over, Henry only felt a stick of anger rushing to his brain. This does not stem from kindness or anything else, but simply because it cannot accept the same kind as food by other races. Maybe the aboriginal inhabitants of this world think this is normal, but he can’t bear it with the memory of the earth.
After all, the human family is the only one on earth, and there is 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 for his human identity. But unfortunately, the Faerun mainland he is now in is not like this. Although humans are the race with the largest number of primary material planes and the widest distribution, they do not have much advantage in high-end combat power or technological level.
Especially the endless monsters have seriously affected the population growth. They break through a large number of villages every year. This led to the destruction of farmland and even the destruction of cities. Among them, there are only a few that are the most threatening, including trolls, goblins and their subspecies (bear goblins, hobgoblins, etc.), ogres, kobolds, giants and their subspecies.
Henry’s attitude towards these monsters is very simple. Anyone who dared to enter human gathering places or attack business travelers will be killed. This radical behavior has caused dissatisfaction with the primitive Druid sect near Baldur’s Gate. These satiated guys think that he has broken the balance of nature and is not what an archdruid should do. Had it not been for Mike, the leader of the annual ring, to negotiate many times, it might have caused a large-scale confrontation.
The practice of primitive Druids. Strengthened Henry’s determination to replace them. Now the annual rings are accumulating power quickly, as long as Amn’s adventure is over, he will immediately go back to eradicate these uncontrolled forces. Thinking of this, he showed a sneer on his face, and then he took out his staff and shot three shots of “fireball” in a row.
“Boom boom boom”, after three loud noises. Almost all the trolls were blown up, and many of them were still on fire. However, with the powerful regeneration abilities of the mountain trolls and soul trolls, these burns are not too severe. Henry even saw that some burned areas had begun to grow new flesh, and it would have been impossible for ordinary trolls to recover so quickly.
The monsters quickly got up from the ground, and when they saw the human standing at the door, they let out an angry roar. The soul troll almost entered the invisible state within a few seconds, and the other mountain trolls also rushed up with their claws. Seeing that his purpose of angering each other has been achieved. Henry turned and ran without hesitation. With the speed boots under his feet, he quickly left the monsters far behind.
As soon as he walked through the tunnel full of traps, he shouted at the teammate waiting at the other end: “The enemy is coming! Everyone is ready to fight! Shandi! Get ready for the real sight! I don’t want to be the soul troll. Sneak attack!”
As soon as the voice fell, the trap in the corridor exploded without warning. Everyone only heard a series of loud noises, and then six or seven fire men appeared in the passage out of thin air. Hina did not hesitate to take out the fur and glass rod from the spellcasting material bag, and then began to chant a spell loudly. A few seconds later, a lightning bolt shot from her fingertips, and the soul troll that had already appeared was directly worn through. through. All standing still twitching.
Seeing that the opportunity cannot be missed, Henry immediately added a “fire wall technique” in the passage, which completely sealed the monsters’ retreat. Suddenly, the air in front of him seemed to fluctuate, and he vigilantly cast a “greasy technique” toward the front, only hearing a “bang”, the invisible soul troll slipped to the ground.
Naria, who was hiding behind, rushed out violently. With a ferocious expression, she shouted at the soul troll: “Go to hell! You monsters who cannibalize people!” After saying that, she released the only first-level magic “burning hand” today.
The grease on the ground was directly ignited by this spell, and the enemy was once again burned by flames. At this moment, Shandi finally completed the sixth-level magic “True Sight”. The power of magic revealed all the invisible targets, Hina immediately transformed into a half-dragon and rushed forward. Instantly slashed a dying soul troll under the sword.
“Hina! Don’t fall in love with war! Bring Naria back!” Henry shouted to the Dragon Girl. Because Naria was like crazy, and quickly swung a short sword to pierce a soul troll into holes. But she was obviously doing useless work like this, because the wound healed automatically as soon as the dagger was drawn out.
“Damn! What a silly girl who is not worrying!” Hina cursed in a low voice, and immediately ran over and pierced the head of the soul troll with a sword, and then forced Naria with her like a chicken. come back.
As soon as the two of them returned to the rear, the mountain troll came out from the corner. Henry was now reluctant to teach Naria, and immediately raised his staff to carry out an overloaded bombardment in front of him. These guys with low IQ obviously didn’t expect this to happen, and they were blown into corpses by the howling fireball in an instant.
The originally heavily injured soul trolls didn’t even use a divine spell, and became a scorched corpse, while the mountain trolls were even more miserable, and they couldn’t even find a slightly larger piece of meat. It can be said that Henry took advantage of the long and narrow terrain here and successfully killed all the enemies with minimal cost.
If it is a head-on conflict, the magical skills of these soul trolls alone will be enough for everyone to drink a pot. Coupled with the large number of mountain trolls, it would be impossible to win so easily without using a few spells above level six. As a certain archmage said, once you find that you have encountered a great problem, don’t rush to try to change tactics or methods, you will find that everything will become very easy.
After coming to Faerun Continent for so many years, Henry has carved this sentence firmly 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 if you leapfrog the challenge, it is not impossible. Of course, all of this is based on the mastery of a large amount of knowledge, and most adventurers cannot read so many books.
After the battle, everyone severely taught Nalia, who did not obey the command and acted arbitrarily. However, for the sake of his eagerness to revenge and a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes, it was finally gone. Only Henry, who was familiar with the plot, knew that Sir Deannis was almost dead now. If you don’t vent now, when you see her father’s tragic death with your own eyes, this noble girl may collapse completely, or become a complete avenger.
You know that hatred can be said to be one of the most powerful forces in this world. It not only allows a person to quickly improve their 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. Many of these guys developed to the end and became utter lunatics, and it is not surprising that they even turned one or two cities into ruins.
Henry didn’t want his intervention to change the trajectory of Naria’s life. Although her current idea seems a bit silly, it is much better than taking revenge on society. We must know that many paladins became crazy because of the death of their relatives or comrades in arms, and eventually all fell into the dark guards of the evil camp. One of the most famous is Erebeth in Neverwinter City, but her fall will not happen until two years later, that is, DR1372.
Everyone simply cleared the passage, and then directly bypassed the hall and headed towards the stairs. They would rather take a long journey than walk through the purgatory hall, the smell of blood and corpse inside is too heavy. After going around in a big circle, everyone came to the stairs through the back door of the kitchen.
Here, everyone had a servant who was almost killed by a troll learned from his mouth that Naria’s aunt was not dead, but was trapped in the west of the second floor. Side room. Not only are there many trolls patrolling in the corridor upstairs, but there are also a few snake-man mages who remain in the library management.
After sending away the frightened servant, 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. There is a secret passage leading to the entrance of the dungeon. According to Daleson, father must be locked in it now.”
“That means we are going to save your aunt first?” Imoen asked, scratching his head.
Naria nodded with a wry smile. “That’s right. But this person is a bit annoying… I mean rigid, full of old ideas of aristocratic supremacy. Anyway, you just ignore what she says, otherwise… it would be a disaster.”
