Chapter 88: The Troll's Block

The war between Black Rock City and the trolls lasted for two or three months, and Tarenmiya also entered the season of fire, which is equivalent to the summer of the earth. At this time, the Night Song Forest and the Cold Winter Season are completely different. Not only are the numbers in the forest lush branches and leaves, but various wild beasts and even monsters also begin to appear frequently.

Xu Yue has been in this world for almost half a year. He feels that more things have happened in this short half a year than he has encountered in the past ten years. Sitting on the beast car, Xu Yue looked at the completely different scenery on both sides of the road from the time he first came, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"See Master Xu Yue, you have experienced a lot of things recently!" Alex, who was sitting next to him, smiled after seeing his expression.

He was slightly surprised, and Xu Yue smiled without knowing how to speak on the surface and said, "It's true that there are a lot. You know, I have never participated in a war that was as big as before."

Alex nodded in understanding and asked, "Did Master Xu Yue grow up in Chatner? Sorry, for Chatner's country and race, it always makes people feel as if they are shrouded in mystery. The strange customs and living habits there always want people to explore."

Xu Yue smiled and said, "I did grow up in Chatner, but I always lived in a small mountain village until my teacher brought me out. In fact, there is not as mysterious as people imagine. The reason why others feel mysterious there is just a disunderstanding of the customs and habits."

Xu Yue had a detailed understanding of the Chatners who were very similar to the Chinese on Earth in this world, who were very similar to the Chinese on Earth in the morning. The result also surprised him very much.

The Chatners are a very special race in this world. They have the same appearance of black hair, black eyes, yellow skin as the Chinese on Earth, and some similarities with some of the living habits and political systems that were sensible in ancient China on Earth, and even some similarities with the language and writing of ancient China on Earth.

Chatner is the name of this race. It is also the name of the empire composed of people from this race. The more Xu Yue knew about this country and race, the more he doubted whether this race similar to the Chinese had some special connection with the Chinese on Earth.

In terms of the unique clothing and daily necessities of the Chatners shown in the earth pictures, he could even see some of the characteristics of the Han Dynasty clothing and utensils. Even he was not sure whether this was a coincidence or an internal connection.

At first he suspected that the so-called Chatners here were probably ancestors of ancient China and came to this world for some unknown reason. Then, after living in this world for a long time, he was influenced by local culture, so that the similarities with ancient China on Earth showed.

But if the Chatners suddenly appeared, at least some relevant information would be revealed. However, after searching the information of the Magic Guild Branch, he could not find a place that could prove his guess. So far, he still couldn't be sure whether the Chatners had anything to do with the Chinese on Earth.

However, his large amount of searching for Chatner's information also brought him one advantage, that is, he knew a lot about Chatner's living habits and customs. Although the specific situation is not clear, it is enough that he will not reveal obvious flaws when people who do not know Chatner's questions.

As a scholar, although specializing in linguistics, Alex also had a strong interest in other aspects of knowledge. When a person who he thought was genuine, this was a good opportunity to understand the mysterious kingdom and race.

The two of them asked and answered each other, but they found something to do for the boring journey. However, as the conversation deepened, Xu Yue gradually couldn't stand it anymore. His understanding of Chatner was only known from the books of the Magic Guild, and he didn't know the details of the real Chatner people's life. In many cases, when facing some questions from Alex, he could only be vague.

However, Alex did not doubt him, but thought that this was the habitual unwillingness of the Chatners to reveal their racial habits to outsiders, so the Chatners were so mysterious.

Just when Xu Yue felt that what he was saying was likely to be revealed. Suddenly, a clamor came out of the front of the team, and the subsequent riots immediately attracted Alix's attention. Seeing that Alix no longer paid attention to him, Xu Yue quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "I'll go and see what happened?"

After saying that, he lifted the curtains in the carriage and walked out of the beast car. Alex came to his senses only after hearing his words. After seeing Xu Yue go out, he shook his head with some regret, thinking that he had missed a good opportunity to learn more about Chatners.

After getting off the beast car, Xu Yue saw that the soldiers around him had begun to be alert. Every battle was filled with weapons and protected the beast car firmly.

Seeing him get out of the car, a small team leader next to the beast car hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sir Xu Yue, please go back to the car. Now the team has encountered an attack, and the situation is quite dangerous. There will be an accident."

Xu Yue looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't forget that I am a magician. And I am a magician who has been on the battlefield. I am not a civilian with no combat power. You don't have to treat me as a protected person who cannot take care of himself in battle."

The captain then remembered that the magician in front of him was a famous figure in the previous war. In the legend of the army, this person rushed into the troll's camp alone, and took the troll's supply camp alone. Then he dragged most of the trolls to cover the retreat of the Black Rock City army.

People always have many fantasies about heroes in war. After a simple thing is processed by people through many processes of their own fantasies, it often deviates from the facts. What's more, the upper class of Black Rock City did not disclose the detailed process of Xu Yue's mission due to various concerns.

So after some people who only knew part of the passage spread, Xu Yue had originally destroyed the troll supply camp by sneak attacking for a lifetime, and turned into a troll camp with his super strength. Then he rushed to the troll camp with his spell. Then he beat the trolls and turned it over with his spell and burned the troll supply camp. Then he relied on his power to drag the trolls' footsteps and covered the retreat of the Black Rock City army.

Although the final result has not changed, the process of things has become unrecognizable. People always worship heroes, especially those fighting heroes who rescue them from the disaster of war. They will not consider whether the rumors are reasonable or whether the content of the rumors is exaggerated. Under strong worship, they are only willing to detail the parts they want to believe.

So the result is that Xu Yue became a powerful magician in the eyes of most people and saved Black Rock City with his own strength. Although many rational people sneered at this, most people still blindly believed this. One advantage this brought to Xu Yue was that his reputation among the people under the Black Rock City reached a very high level in a short period of time.

The team leader in front of him was obviously one of these blind people. Although as a soldier, he also felt that the rumors were a bit exaggerated. However, he knew that what Xu Yue did did did indeed cause the troll to retreat and defeat, but he still believed that most of the rumors were true.

This made him feel a little embarrassed. Although he thought that the person in front of him who could be an idol in his heart did have strong strength, his responsibility was to protect Xu Yue, which made him have some conflicts for a while.

"But sir! We are responsible for protecting your safety!" The captain blushed and said with courage.

Looking at this warrior who was in his twenties and even younger than him, Xu Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just coming down to learn about the situation. I believe that Captain Brandt and you loyal warriors are here, so there is no need to let me join the battle."

After being praised by his idol, the captain's face turned redder, but this time he was excited. Even the soldiers guarding next to the carriage did not consciously straighten their waists.

Xu Yue saw the reactions of these soldiers in front of him. Then he realized that he had such a great influence on them. He had heard some rumors about him in Black Rock City, but he just used them as gossips from the people for a while and did not take them seriously. At this time, he realized that he seemed to be somewhat underestimated about his reputation in Black Rock City.

But soon he put the matter down, turned to look at the front of the team before asking the captain next to him: "What happened before? You seemed to say that a battle had happened. Is it a troll?"

The captain put away the excited expression on his face and said seriously: "It's not a troll, but a monster, and it seems that there are still a lot of people. Captain Brand has already gone to check it out. Now the team in front is fighting those monsters."

"A large number of monsters?" After hearing the captain's words, Xu Yue suddenly rang something. Then he thought quickly and said, "I'll go ahead and take a look. I want to confirm some things."

"But..." the captain said anxiously when he heard this.

Xu Yue waved his hand and interrupted him and said, "It's okay, I just look at it and don't join the battle!"

The captain saw Xu Yue's insistence and nodded helplessly, then called a soldier to take Xu Yue to the front of the team. His responsibility was to protect the beast car. Moreover, there was also the main object of protection for this trip in the beast car. Xu Yue was actually one of the people who protected the Aless.

When Xu Yue was led by the soldier to the front of the team, many soldiers were shooting in a queue to fight with a group of monsters. There were more than a dozen monsters, but the battle formation formed by the soldiers was not at all messed up.

"Glut-eating demon pig!" Xu Yue was shocked when he saw these monsters in front of him. The scene of discovering the troll altar for the first time appeared in his memory. It was the troll who was commanding this monster to attack a small caravan that he only discovered the troll altar after following the traces.

After carefully observing these gluttony pigs, he looked up and looked around. Now they were on a road between the Ye Song Forest, of course they were not the same as the road he came from Komodo town at that time, but the scenery around them was not much different.

The dense deep forests on both sides of the road and the shrubs on the ground completely blocked the situation in the forest. He observed carefully for a long time but could not see anything. He turned around and found that Captain Brand was standing in front of the team, so he walked over quickly and said a few words to him in a low voice.

"Captain Brandt, how did these monsters appear."

"Master Xu Yue, you are here too." Brandt said politely after finding Xu Yue beside him. After hearing Xu Yue's question, he thought for a while and said, "These monsters suddenly appeared in the forest next to the road, and there was no sign of any sign before. If the soldiers hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been sneak attacked by these beasts. Fortunately, the soldiers who came this time were all elite, so there would be no problem dealing with these beasts."

Xu Yue nodded and said, "Did these gluttony demon pigs have been attacking like this after rushing over?"

Brandt also said with some depression: "Yes. These beasts didn't know what crazy they were going, and they looked desperate as soon as they rushed over. There were twenty-one of these gluttony demon pigs at the beginning, and five of them had been killed by us, but they did not escape and were still attacking them to the death."

"Did the monsters often attack humans on this road?" Xu Yue asked again.

"I haven't heard of this before." Brandt said here, and his body suddenly shook and turned his head in surprise. "You mean...troll?"

Xu Yue nodded and said, "Yes. I've encountered a caravan where trolls commanded monsters to attack humans. And the monsters commanded by the trolls happened to be the glutton-eating demon pigs. This may be a coincidence, but first-level monsters like the glutton-eating demon pigs generally dare not attack teams with a large number of people like ours. Moreover, the behavior of these glutton-eating demon pigs is a bit strange. Generally, if the glutton-eating demon pigs are too dead and injured and cannot kill prey, they will generally retreat according to their instinct, but these glutton-eating demon pigs are completely dead and never take a step back. If no one is commanding behind the scenes, their behavior is too unreasonable."

After hearing his words, Brandt squinted his eyes and looked at the gluttonous pigs in the battle circle carefully. He found that the eyes of these monsters had turned blood red and had completely lost their minds. Although the Gem Grinding Bead had a bad temper, he rarely lost his mind except when he was extremely hungry. The behavior of these gluttonous pigs was indeed very abnormal.

"Yes, the possibility of these monsters being controlled is very high, and the trolls who just lost are the most suspected. Is there a small group of trolls stranded nearby and not found? They want to retaliate against us by controlling the monsters?" Captain Brandt said with a frown.

"There is a great possibility that there are trolls to control these monsters. However, the reason for attacking us may not be to retaliate against us. Even if the trolls behind these monsters are not good at using their brains, they know that these dozen first-level monsters alone cannot cause any harm to us." Xu Yue shook his head and said.

"What do they mean?" Brandt thought with a frown.

"How far is this place from the nearest troll altar?" Xu Yue asked suddenly.

Brandt's face suddenly changed and raised his head and said, "Oh no! The trolls are delaying time. Their purpose is to the altar!"

When Xu Yue saw Brandt understand, he nodded and said, "It should be that way. These trolls may have some actions on the altar, but they found that our team had the intention to get close to it. So they sent these monsters to harass us for time. Oops, if that happens, the soldiers guarding the altar might be in danger."

Xu Yue nodded and said, "Our movements are going to be quick!"

After Blan nodded, he pulled out his two-handed sword from behind, and then inspired the fighting spirit and rushed into the battlefield instantly. Originally, the soldiers who came this time were all elite soldiers who retreated from the battlefield, and a small number even reached the first-level professional level. When facing these gluttony pigs, they can also effectively kill these monsters by cooperating with each other, but it will take some time to kill all of these monsters.

However, after Brandt, a warrior at the peak of level 5, joined in, these gluttony demon pigs suddenly became dishes on the chopping board. The double-handed sword of the level 5 warrior, which had been blessed by the fighting spirit, could easily cut these first-level monsters into two segments. As several sword lights flashed, the dozen first-level monsters suddenly turned into a pile of incomplete corpses and fell to the ground.

"Take the corpses of these monsters aside. We have no time left. I inform everyone to speed up. When we get close to the altar, we abandon the car and enter the Yege Forest. We must arrive at the altar as fast as possible." Brandt ordered solemnly.

After receiving the order, these soldiers quickly showed their efficiency. Several soldiers quickly threw the corpses of those monsters to one side of the road, and did not even look at the materials on the monsters. Then the speed of the entire team doubled and rushed towards the destination with all their strength.

Xu Yue sat back in the somewhat bumpy beast car. He and Alex briefly explained the situation. The learned scholar also nodded and stopped talking. The atmosphere became much more serious for a moment.

Along the way, he encountered several waves of attacks from different types of monsters again, which made Brandt confirm his guess. In a hurry, he led several level 4 warriors in the team to take action personally, and clean up the attacking monsters at the fastest speed. The team's speed was almost not affected by these monsters.

After arriving at the closest place to the Altar of Warcraft, Alex and Xu Yue had to get out of the beast car, and then they would enter the Yege Forest. The dense jungle and shrubs were impossible to pass the beast car. According to the plan, some people should be left to guard the beast car, but now the situation has changed. Brandt made a quick decision to abandon the beast car, and all the members quickly entered the forest.

The trees in the Night Song Forest are undoubtedly the most luxuriant in the season of fire. The towering branches and dense canopy almost completely block the sunlight. Only the spots of light can penetrate from the lush branches and leaves. The light in the forest becomes very dim, and the continuous appearance of shrubs and roots under your feet makes it difficult to get on the road.

However, casual warriors are all elites. As a native native, it is obvious that everyone is familiar with this kind of journey in the Yege Forest. Therefore, the complex environment of the forest did not cause too much trouble to the team. Xu Yue even found that even the scholar Alex, the travel speed of the journey in this environment is no slower than the soldiers beside him.

He observed carefully and saw that there was a very dim circle around Alexi's body. The halo that looked faintly visible surrounded his body. If he looked closely, the halo was actually a text-shaped light and shadow composed of strange forces. Whenever Alexi's body was about to touch the plants around him, the branches of the plants would magically automatically deflect to one side. Even some creatures such as insects and snakes on the ground would quickly avoid the side. When his feet stepped on the uneven ground and tree roots, the land on the ground would instantly become flat or flush with the surrounding tree roots.

The plants and the earth in the forest seemed to be consciously making way for Aless. He was allowed to walk in such a complex environment without being hung up by any branch at all. Even Xu Yue, a second-level magician, bounced the near-level twig to the side with a first-level magic of an "air barrier". This spell was learned by absorbing several second-level 'inheritance magic balls' before leaving. In contrast, he was obviously not as relaxed and comfortable as Aless in this situation.

After seeing Xu Yue looking at him in surprise, Alex smiled and said, "This is just a small way to travel by relying on the unique natural prayers of the druids. Because I am not a druid, I can only sit to this level when using these prayers. I can't do it if I want to treat the forest as my home like a druid."

Xu Yue nodded with some clarity. He knew that although the scholar industry is not as focused on combat as a mage, in a world like Tarenmiya, knowledge is often linked to power. As a scholar focusing on knowledge, it is obvious that it is impossible to be a scholar-type figure like Earth who is powerless. Many scholars can use some very strange abilities because they know a lot of knowledge.

If you want to talk about direct combat power, scholars may not be as good as magicians who focus more on combat, but if they compare the weirdness and diversity of methods, then most scholars under the same level will surpass magicians.

It is obvious that Alex himself is a scholar who specializes in language and writing. Then his ability is obviously also to use various magical words and languages. In fact, there are many magical languages ​​and words in the continent of Tarenmiya that have the ability to communicate directly, such as the Carter language used by the mages, the Aleka language used by the ancient troll empire, the natural prayer of the druids, the dragon language used by the dragon, the elves' words, etc., all of which have incredible power.

As the entire team accelerated, the distance from the troll altar here became closer and closer. The trolls hiding in the dark were obviously anxious and kept sending monsters to interfere with the team. Moreover, the level of the monsters also changed from the original first-level monster to the second-level monster. This can already pose a great threat to the ordinary soldiers in the team.

In the end, not only Brandt and several senior soldiers in the team participated in the battle, but even Xu Yue and Alis also took action. Xu Yue still maintained the true nature of a human-shaped turret, and with a wave of the staff in his hand, a bunch of fireballs immediately bombarded with crazily. Often, the people next to him had no movement, and the monsters were intensively bombarded by his fireball technique and were blown into pieces.

However, when the first-level fireball technique faces some second-level monsters with high defense, a single fireball can no longer effectively kill those second-level monsters. Generally, there is a need for continuous attacks of more than three fireballs to kill these monsters. This is not because Xu Yue does not want to use more advanced mages, but because his foundation of magic knowledge is too weak. At present, he only knows a few first-level magic.

Although there will be one second-level attack spell, considering that if his mental power is used to stimulate the second-level magic, even if he relies on his perverted magic affinity to stimulate the second-level spell, he can only inspire the second-level spells more than fifty times in terms of the number of spells castings.

In terms of magic saving and killing efficiency, using fireball against the upper level 2 Warcraft is obviously more cost-effective than directly using the second level 2 spell.

It was obvious that many of the soldiers next to him had seen Xu Yue's appearance when casting spells. After all, Xu Yue followed Aldridge and others to save the scene during the war. So they were not surprised that Xu Yue could release the fireball so much and so quickly. However, Alex next to him was still calm after seeing Xu Yue release hundreds of fireballs, and looked full of magic.

However, no mage's unique spell casting skills are secrets that this mage will never reveal to outsiders, so although Alex was curious, he did not ask.

Xu Yue was also very curious about Alix's way of attacking. After Alix encountered those monsters, he often used his luminous fingers to produce different types of strange words out of thin air. Some of these words were Carter words that Xu Yue knew, while others could only know which kind of words they belong to, but they did not know their specific meaning.

Once these luminous words are formed, they often form various strange effects. Some can ignite flames from the sky, while others can turn into lightning to attack the monsters. He even saw that Alex shouted out strange language several times when writing sentences composed of particularly long words. Suddenly, the sentences composed of words turned into a strange wave and instantly enveloped several monsters. Those monsters seemed to suddenly lose power and stopped in place like machines, and the fire of life in their eyes gradually extinguished, and they died inexplicably.

This strange method made the magician Xu Yue feel his scalp numb. He didn't know if it was him, could he rely on the magic shield to block this strange method. If he guessed correctly, Alexi's attack method was probably directly targeting the spirit and even the soul. There were not no magic that could achieve the same effect, but it was only a mage who went up to level three to learn. However, if it was only level three, the effect was not as powerful as Alexis had shown.

Seeing Xu Yue's expression of surprise and admiration, Alex smiled bitterly again and said, "Master Xu Yue, you don't have to look at me like this. Although my methods seem to be full of lethality and have very obvious effects, in fact, I use this method to prepare the corresponding text in my spiritual sea in advance with condensed mental power. You know that the capacity of the spiritual sea is limited, so the types and quantities of my methods are limited. And although I seem to be able to use various types of abilities, in fact, the mental power required for this method of use is far greater than that of the same level of magic, and compared to your magician's magic source."

After listening to Alex's explanation, Xu Yue nodded suddenly. Although Alex's methods are diverse and powerful, they are subject to many restrictions, and the price they pay is even more than magic. In comparison, the magician's attack methods are more direct and less limited. In Tarenmiya, the ability of scholars is more reflected in the ability to protect themselves rather than direct combat power.

Sure enough, after several hands, Alex clearly showed a tired look on her face. Xu Yue knew that this was the consequence of excessive mental power consumption. After preventing Alex from continuing to take action, he took out a bottle of "intermediate mental power recovery potion" from the storage ring and handed it to him.

"Next, please don't take action. After all, the responsibility of those of us who protect you during the battle." Xu Yue said with a smile.

Alex drank the potion in his hand and nodded. He knew that his main task was to translate the text on the altar. It was best to recover first so that he could start his work as soon as possible after arriving at the destination.

After an hour of rapid march and battle, the entire team finally rushed out of the jungle and came to a large open space. On the square kilometer of open space in front of me, an altar that Xu Yue had only seen stood in the center of the open space.

Perhaps they broke through too quickly, there were actually many trolls busy on the altar, many trolls were busy on the altar, they were moving some bricks and stones on the altar, and many trolls were demolishing the layout at the top of the altar.

These trolls obviously did not expect Xu Yue and others to break through here so quickly. Nearly one hundred trolls were stunned when they saw the sudden appearance of human army.

A tall troll standing on the altar suddenly shouted at the trolls around the altar and used the troll's unique language to shout something. Under his shouting, some trolls began to try their best to remove the stone platform at the top of the altar, while other trolls rushed towards the human side like crazy.

After listening carefully to the leading troll's shouting, Alex immediately turned aside and hurriedly shouted to Xu Yue and others: "Stop him quickly, he wants to steal the core of this altar!"
