Chapter 42, Killing the Gnoll Watcher

In Sid’s many years of mercenary career, there is a more common “green skin” theory.

That is, generally speaking, the bigger the orc in a broad sense, the stronger.

So when the Gnoll Watcher came into view, Sid knew he had found his target.

Gnoll Watcher, challenge level Paragon Rank to Hero Rank, as the winner of the gnoll-eating chicken tournament after awakening a trace of dragon bloodline and mastering part of Bloodline Power, Gnoll Watcher Even the height of the hunchback is more than 2.3 meters. There is a huge horn on the huge head. The wolf’s head is leaning forward. Bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl drips saliva. Showing its mighty power, the densely covered blue veins form a ball, and at first glance, it is not to be trifled with.

What Astartes cultivator?

Sid released the mark of hatred from a distance, and the outline of the Gnoll Warden’s body was immediately marked in the eye of the falcon.

It’s a little troublesome, the gnoll watcher is wearing a full body leather armor that doesn’t know how long it takes a gnoll craftsman to craft. The leather armor is inlaid with a lot of iron rings, and its weapon is A huge flail with a spiked iron ball hanging from a long chain, this weapon is lethal to heavily armored units.

What made Sid even more troublesome was that the Gnoll Warden’s shoulder pads were made tall and large.

This made it impossible for Sid to cut his throat from the side, not to mention the large collar hanging around the neck of the gnoll watchman.

According to the Temple Guard, this big guy knows two powerful magics, one is Shockwave, the other is Lifebloom, the former is a powerful control technique that adds a lot of damage, and the latter is to quickly recover his injuries .

“In the name of Jupiter, go forward!” Sid was still thinking about what to do, the roar of the Temple Guard Ulrich had already sounded, the patrols moved quickly along the road in the forest, the soldiers They lined up first, aiming the crossbows at the gnoll’s camp and pulling the trigger.

A rain of arrows hit for a while, and the little jackals and the pure jackals that were kept free were hit by arrows one after another.

The jackals let out an inexplicable roar, and gathered together under the watcher’s order. The light infantry was in the front, the heavy infantry was in the back, and the jackals supported the flank, and they fought with the wolf patrol in an instant. , both sides are not very powerful professionals and monsters, it seems that the fight is very lively, but in fact the casualties are not large.

The Wolf Patrol strictly abides by the Sid’s combat experience, except for premature use of ranged weapons, and thus has an advantage in this small encounter, the human physique is not the same among the continental races. Excellent, but still has an advantage against gnolls.

However, the biggest reason for the patrol’s fighting intent to defeat the gnolls is the roar of the lion in Istvan. I feel that my physique strength has been greatly strengthened, the equipment on my body has become lighter, and my physical strength has been restored.

This is the Overseer, and his most important role is not to fight in person, but to add buffs to the group.

Sid is still waiting for an opportunity at this time.

The outcome of the battlefield is not important. Whether or not to drive away the gnoll is also the responsibility of the Temple Guard, not Sid. His responsibility to the Wolf Principality has long been consumed in the previous series of events. Exhausted, for Sid, there is only one goal of the Gnoll Watcher. This guy can make the Holy Grail of Sins produce slurry, allow Sid to try the advanced special profession, and let him try his own skills.

Sure enough, this simple encounter soon turned to the disadvantage of the gnolls. After more than a dozen corpses were left behind, morale began to fluctuate.

Gnolls are such creatures. They have weak morale and like group fighting tactics. As long as there are more people than the opponent, they tend to attack, and as long as the number is smaller than the opponent, they are full of retreat.

The gnoll watcher at the back obviously noticed that his tribe was at a disadvantage, and the guy finally decided to join the fight himself. On the battlefield, its each step action makes the forest shake.

Bloodthirsty Rampage!

The werewolves who were fighting immediately noticed that the gnoll watchmen moved towards them!

How about Mr. Connor? Where is Your Excellency Connor?

Master Killer, let’s do something!

And Istvan even discovered that the gnoll watchman didn’t even look at anyone else, and his huge, blood-red eyes had only one target, and that was himself!

The eldest son of Duke Holstein’s family remembered the father’s teaching, that the Overseer should know how to hide himself on the battlefield when he is still weak, otherwise the young Overseer will be the most difficult for the enemy. A good headhunter target, the best fire target!

But it was too late for him to remember now that the gnoll watchman, dancing a huge flail up and down, raised his hand and smashed a Cornerstone Rank soldier with his full equipment into the mud. !

This scene not only stunned all the humans present, but also made the gnolls shout and their morale recovered. Taking advantage of the boss’s charge, the gnolls who had already shown signs of collapse regrouped at the watchmen. Under the banner, prepare this group of humans as a delicious meal for the next few days.

However, at the moment when the Jackal’s popularity recovered, Sid finally acted.

A gray shadow shot into the sky and landed next to the three-headed gnoll shaman. The lower half of the swift sword pierced the abdomen, kicked the shaman’s chest with a sword, and cut the throat. The head shaman pierced through the skull, Sid bent down, and the chain hammer swept from behind swept over his hood, Sid could feel the texture of his hair being touched by the thorns of the chain hammer.

The weakness of the chain hammer was clearly revealed at this time. This weapon swayed significantly after making a move. Sid immediately seized this opportunity to take a step backward and jumped up. Second Step stepped on the gnoll shaman. His chest, the swift sword pierced through his eyes.

Three seconds, three kills!

The three gnoll shamans were killed instantly, only then did the gnolls realize that there were enemies behind them, but Sid had already arrived!

“bang!”

The huge thorny chain hammer carries a fierce wind assaults the senses, Sid naturally knows that this is a powerful enemy that is impossible to push back and rolls sideways to avoid it , a mud pit was directly smashed out of the place he was standing, and the forest land after the rain was lifted up. A large mass of muddy water and grass roots were scattered by this blow. Sid swung his swift sword and slashed it on the calf of the gnoll watchman. , hoping that this blow can form a little effect.

However, the touch of the blade on the wrist is like a Knight’s sword that is not sharp enough slashing on the thick cotton armor. A wound was left, but the Gnoll Watcher’s movements did not change at all. The wound was too shallow to leave little blood. On the contrary, its movements became more violent, and Sid immediately rolled away a little distance.

The Hate Marks continued, and the Gnoll Warden’s weaknesses were marked one by one.

Neck – Protected by a spiked collar.

Abdominal and waist vitals – protected by leather armor and iron rings.

Wrists and Shoulders – One piece iron bracers and gauntlets.

Sid found that he could only attack the opponent’s eyes and the throat that was not protected by the spiked collar.

It’s tough, he will face more such heavily armored enemies in the future.

A small smile appeared at the corner of Sid’s mouth.

Disadvantage is the taste of Daigo on the battlefield!

“Istvan! Volley!” Sid pulled away quickly, as dexterous and swift as he was to withdraw seven or eight meters away almost in the blink of an eye, but he was only nimble, not fast.

“Armor piercing arrows with cone head, salvo!” Istvan immediately ordered a salvo. The six soldiers of the patrol team had been loaded with arrows, and the six cone head armor piercing distributed by Sid The arrows were fired at once, and the gnoll watcher noticed this scene, it immediately gave up the pursuit of Sid and turned to protect its head, two cone-headed armor piercing arrows penetrated its leather armor and pierced its shoulders and chest respectively, but Most importantly, the other arrows bounced off its wrists and iron belt.

Lifebloom is activated, and all the wounds on the Gnoll Watcher’s body are emitting green smoke, and they are healing quickly.

This is not surprising to Sid. As far as he knows, although Life Bloom heals quickly, it mainly relies on the magic of consuming life force and lifespan. However, the five or six-year-old gnolls can be ready to go into the ground after being placed a few more times.

“Serapis is on top! Can’t you aim?” the Duke’s first wife’s eldest son scolded, and he was about to reload the patrol soldiers, but Sid’s roar sounded first : “Get out of the way!”

The gnoll watchman has rushed over!

Istvan was stunned for a moment, the gnoll watchman had already rushed in front of him, his bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl spit out one after another foul breath, and then the chain hammer To fall, the young Overseer was a step too slow to dodge.

Temple Guard Ulrich and Sid, who was still in the distance, had urgent expressions on their faces almost simultaneously, this man can’t die here!

The shadow of death enveloped Istvan, looking at the watcher who was at least three heads taller than him, he subconsciously raised his dagger to block.

However, something stood in his way.

It’s the old soldier who asked the question before! He raised the round shield in his hand and stopped it in front of Istvan.

The giant flail smashed on the round shield, and the iron-clad round shield shattered into wooden bars in an instant, his arm cracked, and the spiked hammer continued to hit his chest, his ribs. They all sank, and blood spurted out, and in the blink of an eye, there was already a patch of blood on his chest.

The middle-aged soldier fell like this, without even a single last word.

“Damn!” Sid was furious, and he had recovered by now.

The emperor’s blood is sublimated!

The white-haired boy bathed in golden light ran and jumped in one go, jumped on the back of the gnoll watcher before he could turn around, and the swift sword followed the gnoll watch Sid cut a terrifying wound on the top of the neck that was not covered by the spiked collar, and then the Hidden Blade in his hand penetrated directly from the back of his head. Sid twisted his wrist, and the stench of blood immediately spurted out like a waterfall!

I thought that such a blow would be enough to kill the Gnoll Watcher, but before the battle was over, the Gnoll Watcher let out an angry roar and moved towards his body and released the second magic.

Shockwave!

The oncoming blood-colored shock wave hit Sid’s body, and the power of the eye of the storm caused the shock wave to deflect slightly, not hitting his skull, but hitting his shoulder!

“pa ~”

Sid was thrown out by this blow, his shoulder and right arm were fractured at the same time, and the cracked skin was immediately drenched with blood.

Life blooms! Another magic, the wound on the gnoll watchman started to heal immediately, but this time the injury was obviously serious and the healing speed was slow, and naked eyes showed that the hair on the gnoll watcher’s head gradually turned gray, and his face was gray. Wrinkles also appeared.

Obviously, the Gnoll Watcher paid a great price, roaring angrily to take Sid’s life immediately.

But it miscalculated.

When Sid was dizzy, the Water Element surrounding him turned into a trend to wash him from head to toe, washing away the impact and strong dizziness brought by the shock wave. .

What makes Sid even more strange is that, despite his broken shoulder and right arm bones, he finds that his right hand still seems to be under his control and that he can still maneuver with ease. My arm does all the movements without being hindered by a broken bone.

“Xiao Xi, your body is like a whole.” He recalled the words of the elder sister.

“It’s over.”

Sid rolled on the ground and got up again. He took out a shotgun from behind and shot the gnoll leader’s face at close range. At close range, the Gnoll Watcher’s head was bloodied by the shot.

In this world of swords and magic, once you reach the Paragon Rank, you are no longer afraid of firearms. If you are too far away, you will not be able to hit, and if you are too close, you will have the opportunity to deal full damage.

Spiral thrusts!

The swift sword, blessed by the sublimation of the emperor’s blood, goes out from the bottom through the throat!

Blood like a spring.

The gnoll watchman wanted to swing the weapon again, but its body had stopped accepting the brain’s instructions. The huge silhouette suddenly stiffened, and then slumped to the ground.

Not even a bloom of life can save this mortal wound.

Sudden feeling came from his waist, Sid immediately realized that the battle was over, he took a deep breath and took out his swift sword to look around vigilantly.

Sure enough, seeing the leader’s death, all the gnolls fled in panic.

The encounter ended in victory for the Wolf Patrol.

Everyone was shocked.

Sid almost killed a gnoll leader who was infinitely close to being promoted to Hero Rank by the strength of oneself, a gnoll watchman blessed with the power of dragon blood!

As expected of our evil werewolf!

…………I am the dividing line that ends…………

After the war, in a messy forest battlefield.

“With the blessing of Jupiter, we have won this victory, praise the Lord!” Ulrich, the sanctuary Guard, exclaimed the Lord of Heaven, as he chanted the Lord of Heaven aloud ‘s good name.

Sid sat on the weeds, his wounds had been simply bandaged by himself, and while the Templar Guard was not paying much attention, he poured a mouthful of the Holy Grail of Sin, and the injury recovered quickly, tight. Then he took the time to count the spills of war.

It’s a pity that there is nothing valuable on the gnoll watchman, and the heavy flail and equipment are not what Sid wants, but this is not difficult for the experienced Sid, he directly holds it The short sword peeled off the gnoll watcher’s chest and took out the heart, and took out a small piece of Dragon Blood Crystal weighing about half an ounce from the still hot heart.

No one dares to come up and fight with Sid for this spills of war. Although the werewolves are greedy, they worship powerhouse!

After everything was done, Sid noticed that Istvan, the first wife’s eldest son of Marshal White Horse Legion, was standing in a daze in front of the dirtbags.

13 soldiers were killed in this encounter, among which is included the older soldier who blocked the fatal blow for Istvan, there were no Hero Rank priests, druids, wizards at the scene Under the circumstances, he only struggled for more than ten seconds before swallowing his last breath.

Seeing that he couldn’t accept this reality, Sid came to Istvan’s side, patted his shoulder, and said nothing.

“Give me two Silver Coins, okay?” Istvan said softly, “He needs two Silver Coins, and the kingdom of Hades needs an entrance fee.”

” I can give you two Silver Coins, but I’m very worried that it will be dug up soon.” Sid’s expression had a trace of sadness, he glanced behind: “There is no immortal dynasty in this world, nor There is no grave that cannot be dug.”

“He saved my life.” The muscles in Istvan’s face twitched and he pursed his mouth: “I don’t know why, I don’t even know his Name.”

“His name is Olk.” Sid lowered his eyes: “Learn to remember other people’s names, young Overseer, this won’t be the last time you experience this.”

“Hey… Your Excellency Connor, I mean, You, including you, have reasons to help me and save me, but what reason does he have?” The young Overseer leaned over, one-knee kneels before the dirt bag: “Rest in peace, my friend.”

“You don’t quite understand why the werewolf wanted to kill you before, but now he saves you?” Sid also one-knee kneels moved towards the warrior to pay his final respect, with a trace of sadness in his eyes: “Do you know what the Wolf’s Soul is?”

“What is it?”

“Hundreds of years ago, in the dark Messianic battle, the Holy Empire army faced Tianke. The Golden Wolf army led by Khan Attila, the Holy Empire army without Holy Throne Supreme was defeated, and more than 100,000 people died in the battle.” Sid said softly: “But when cleaning the battlefield, the Golden Wolf army found that only the wolf army had no one. Even the overwhelming majority of the wolf soldiers were moved towards the Golden Wolf army and died, and hardly any corpses with their backs turned to the Golden Wolf army could be found.”

“This is the soul of the evil wolf. , you treat him as a comrade-in-arms and care about his safety, and he will take you as a brother, and will protect you at all costs.”

“They are evil werewolves, and they are also evil werewolves, just like the gray tone of the wolf principality. In the same way, the world is not black and white, the world is gray.”

Sid got up and motioned for Istvan to collect the payment. care too much.

“They are imperial, and so are we.”

Istvan raised his head, gnashing teeth: “How much are they worth? How much are we worth?”

p>

“These are 20 gold, this is 50 gold.” Sid pointed to a few earthbags, and then pointed to the soldiers who were chattering moved towards “This victory was bestowed by Jupiter, and Lord Connor was sent by Jupiter. Ulrich, the Templar Guard of “The Messenger of the World”: “That is worth 150 gold, as for you… do you want me to give you an estimate?”

“Enough, don’t say more!” Istvan’s face was red, he drank Sid’s words, and said directly: “If I want to transport all the bodies of these comrades back so that they can enjoy a decent funeral, how much money will it cost?!”

“5 golden ecubits are enough.” Sid put down the head of the watchman, this is not a suitable sacrifice, it seems that the advanced Assassin Executioner needs better.

Istvan was stunned.

Just this?

He spends more than this when he goes to the market!

For the first time in his nineteen-year-old life, he experienced the cheapness…and the preciousness of life, a primordial urge that made him blurt the words out of his throat.

“I’m out of the money!”
