"Uncle Clay, where did you hire these four brainless guys? Do you really have the heart to drag them to be buried with you?" Gavin couldn't help but sigh again. Such an honest mercenary is really not good.
It is so common that it would be a pity to include it here.
"You just heard it, they have already taken the money." Clay, who knew he was inevitable, would not kindly tell Gavin their true origins. Hehe, even if he died, he would still give it to this person.
The big guy digs a hole. He really treats the rocky ground as his own back garden and can do whatever he wants. Sooner or later, he will have thick arms and legs that he can't chop off.
The fleeting mysterious smile on Clay's face made Gavin wary. He couldn't help but take a second look. The four heavily armored guards finally landed on the badges on their chests. He couldn't help but gasp.
Got a breath of air-conditioning.
It was a fiery red crow fluttering in flight.
I was almost tricked by Clay. If I really killed the four heavily armored guards in front of me, I would be in big trouble - at least it would be very detrimental to my early development in the rocky land.
Near the rocky area, there is only one mercenary group that uses this badge - the Red Crow Mercenary Group.
This mercenary group is not very famous in other places, but it is very famous in the northeast of Cormyr and the west of the valley.
The most famous thing is that this mercenary group signed a contract with the Cormyr royal family to clean up the rocky land. Their leader, Rayana Ross, has always been aiming to win the rocky land and obtain the baron reward from the Cormyr royal family.
This is also Gavin's goal, but the route is different. Leyana relies on mercenaries.
Gavin uses barbarians to fight barbarians, and monsters to fight monsters.
Seriously speaking, Gavin's plan to use barbarians to defeat barbarians was partly due to Leiana's contribution.
Because in his previous life, he knew that there was such a mercenary group, and even in his old age, he could not conquer the rocky land, which helped him reject the possibility of conquering the rocky land from the outside.
After all, in terms of military, it was impossible for him to organize an army that could rival the Purple Dragon Army of the Kingdom of Cormyr in a short period of time.
In terms of mercenaries, there is no way he can compare with the Red Crow Mercenary Group, which has been operating here for decades.
If possible, Gavin does not want to get into vicious competition with the Red Crow Mercenary Group, so it is best to cooperate.
After all, he only regards the rocky land as his starting place. He is not planning to stay here for the rest of his life. He will eventually get out.
Thoughts were racing in his mind, but his face remained calm. Gavin pretended that he didn't recognize their identities.
It's one thing to take action without recognizing your identity.
Recognizing the identity and taking action is another matter entirely.
"Okay, I respect your dedication and dedication, and I will help you today. Take action." Gavin ordered.
The four Erds, headed by Captain Buck, simultaneously clenched the psychic stones in their hands. With the high concentration of their mental power, the transparent psychic stones shone with blue light.
The four heavily armored guards were on high alert. They knew that the other party was casting spells, but they were unable to do anything. They kept swinging and the spreading vines greatly restricted their ability to move, let alone launch an attack or dodge.
What's more, the four Erds are suspended in the air. Even if they are in a normal state, there is nothing they can do.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three of the four heavily armored guards fell on the spot.
The one who didn't fall was not because he was too strong and could withstand the bombardment of psychic bullets.
It was the Erd who aimed at him who failed to cast a spell.
Casting spells is not a 100% successful thing, especially for beginners like them, who use psychic stones to cast spells, and the success rate is even lower.
The success rate of three-quarters is already quite amazing.
Before the heavily armored guard could wonder what was going on, he snorted and fell down.
Gavin, who had already activated his jumping technique, was able to finish the last hit.
After just two jumps, he appeared in front of Clay and slashed with the long sword he picked up casually.
Clay calmed down and raised his sword to fight. Even though he knew he was dead, his survival instinct still made him unwilling to surrender.
The sound of parrying did not appear.
As soon as Clay raised his sword, the tip of the sword came out of his chest.
Gavin's slash was just a bait, the real killing move had long been lurking behind him, and Cang Ya emerged from the hidden mist.
The chop turned into a sweep, and Clay's head was cut off directly.
Gavin ordered the kobolds around him: "These four people, don't hurt them. I will strip their equipment, tie them up, clean the battlefield, strip all the equipment from the bodies, and bury them on the spot.
Take all the goods with you."
Gavin walked back to the dog demon who looked like a dead dog, and smoothly pulled out the long sword stuck in his neck.
The feeling of the cold and sharp blade piercing through the neck made the dog demon's hair stand on end. The hairs on his neck stood on end, but he did not dare to move at all. Even if he was trembling, he did not dare to hit one, for fear that the sword would be tilted upward.
One deflection severed his main artery.
Gavin had no intention of talking nonsense to the dog demon, even if he knew that he had a high IQ and could speak Common Language, he just dragged him away.
A strong sense of humiliation surged into the dog demon's brain, making him want to turn around and bite off the half-elf man's head.
What a bully dog, why is he also a highly intelligent alien creature?
Compared to this kind of grief and indignation, the two severed limbs rubbing against the ground and causing severe pain were nothing.
But he didn't dare. It had just witnessed the killing decision of the young man in front of him.
Not to mention killing foreigners, even killing his own kind and acquaintances without batting an eyelid.
He believed that as long as he showed any desire to escape or attack, he would not get a second chance.
"Eat him." Gavin dragged the dog demon to Clay's body and added coldly, "Use your gnawing ability."
Hearing the last sentence, the dog demon suddenly felt chilled. He knew that he had not been wronged this time. He had met a master. The young man in front of him knew his race very well.
The dog demon did not dare to hesitate. He used his two severed limbs to prop up his upper body, and his magic power began to surge.
"Don't be wrong. Believe me. Without two front legs, no matter it's any door or flash spell, it's impossible to escape my pursuit. Your magic-like spells can't be faster than my sword."
My psychic powers." Gavin waved his sword gently and warned in a calm tone.
The dog demon knew that what the other party said was the truth.
Not daring to have any evil thoughts, he opened his already ugly big mouth to an extreme, gnawing and biting wildly at Clay's body. Due to the lack of two front paws to assist, the chewing was much slower than usual.
The biting speed is obviously much slower, but it does not affect the corresponding effect.
Threads of life matter were forcibly extracted from Clay's body by the dog demon.
This is the most powerful ability of the dog demon.
He can eat the corpses of humanoid creatures and absorb their life essence for his own use, making himself more powerful.
As Clay's life essence was absorbed, the dog demon's severed limb began to squirm, and strands of flesh sprouts began to grow, as if a regeneration spell had been performed.
Ordinary resurrections of the dead will not take effect on corpses that have been eaten by dog demons. Even powerful wish spells, miracle spells or complete resurrection spells only have a 50% chance of resurrecting them.
Hmm.
Clay will definitely not be resurrected, even with wish and miracle spells.
Because just when the dog demon was eating his head, a faint figure screaming in agony was swallowed by him.
His soul was eaten by the dog demon.
Unless the gods personally take action, mortal spells will no longer take effect on it.
This young man named Gavin is a ruthless character. He not only wants people's lives and robs them of their wealth, but he also won't let go of their souls.
If he had known that the person Andy was trading with was such a ruthless person, and killed the dog demon, he would not have encouraged Andy to have evil thoughts. It would have been the most correct choice to follow such an awesome person and wave the flag.
While using the gnawing skill, the dog demon was criticizing Gavin in his mind.
Ouch!
The dog demon screamed in pain.
Just now, Gavin had taken advantage of him to focus on chewing food, swiped his two swords, and chopped off the two front paws that had not fully grown yet again at the elbow level.
Damn it, this young man is too cautious and doesn't give him any chance.
This is not a half-elf, he is simply a demon in human skin, and those demons are not as cunning and cruel as he is.
"Real name." Gavin asked, leaning on his sword.
"Andrew." The dog demon answered obediently. The other party even knew about the dog demon's gnawing. It was impossible not to know their high intelligence.
Gavin looked at the dog demon with an expression as if you were trying to fool a fool, "The devil's real name is in the Book of True Names. If you continue to fool me, I will chop you into pieces piece by piece."
The dog demon was silent.
Just kidding, how could I give you the devil's true name in the Book of True Names?
Once you control the devil's true name, wouldn't it mean that he will be your slave for generations to come and will never be able to stand up again?
I would rather die than be a slave.
laugh!
Gavin directly took action and cut the dog demon's broken arm with a sword.
This time, he was prepared, and the dog demon did not scream, but only trembled all over.
Still responding to Gavin with silence, he made up his mind that even if he was really killed, he would never reveal his true devil name.
The devil's true name is the origin of all devils and the devil's birth. Once known, he will be controlled by him and cannot disobey any of his orders - even death, real death.
Under normal circumstances, in the material world, demons cannot be completely killed, or in other words, only their bodies are killed, and their souls will return to their home in the abyss, where they will use the power of the abyss to reshape their bodies.
The same goes for devils, but they go back to hell.
If someone controls the devil's real name, even if he returns to his hometown, he will be dragged back by his real name.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Gavin struck with his sword several times, but the dog demon remained silent.
"Okay, be tough." Gavin gestured his thumb to the dog demon and said, "I hope you can be as tough as you are now, Anna, healing spells."
Upon hearing the healing spell, the dog demon's expression couldn't help but change.
Can anyone imagine casting a healing spell on a devil from an evil plane?
"Here we come." Anna, who looked a little bored, responded quickly and trotted over. Her big round eyes were also filled with doubts, "Mr. Gavin, use healing spells on him. It's appropriate."
?”
This was the first time in her life that she heard that someone wanted to cast healing spells on the devil.
"How would you know if you don't try? Don't worry, the effect is better than you think."
"Okay, I'll try." Anna gave Gavin full trust. He said so, and it must be right.
Treat minor injuries.
With a trying mentality, Anna only cast the most basic healing spells.
After the pure healing energy was injected into the body of the dog demon, it was poured into the boiling oil pan with a ladle of cold water - forget about that scene.
Gavin used a long sword to chop the severed limbs as if they were bones. The dog demon didn't even grunt, howling and rolling around the world.
Streams of black smoke came out from the inside.
The positive energy that makes up the healing spell is essentially in conflict with the power of the dog demon.
Entering his body will not only have no therapeutic effect, but will burn his body and soul.
This kind of pain cannot be compared to the physical body alone.
The side effects of Anna's healing spell did not appear this time. It had no therapeutic effect in the first place, so naturally there were no side effects.
"So powerful?" The fact that her healing spells could have such an effect was obviously beyond Anna's expectation.
Anna didn't have any psychological burden on ugly demonic monsters like the dog demon. She quickly recited prayers and cast healing spells on the dog demon one by one.
The effect of treating minor injuries is so powerful, let alone treating minor injuries with more positive energy.
After rolling to the end, the dog demon was sweating profusely and collapsed, lying on the ground motionless.
From the beginning to the end, he just refused to tell his true name as a devil.
How could it be such a simple thing to get a devil to reveal his true name?
For a moment, Gavin had nothing to do with the dog demon. This time, the magic sword was inserted directly near the heart, and he planned to take it back to the Black Well tribe first.
The goods that Clay planned to trade to the goblins were naturally accepted by Gavin and dragged back to the Black Well Tribe.
There were a total of twenty-two heavy trucks, twenty of which carried old grain. The goods were actually better than those transported by caravans to the Heijing tribe.
I don’t know if it was intentional to win the trust of the goblin tribe, or if I just couldn’t receive so much moldy food all at once.
Anyway, it made Gavin's cheek twitch several times.
The other two trucks contained weapons and equipment suitable for small races. What Gavin valued most was the hundred single-arm crossbows and more than three thousand crossbow arrows inside.
A few single-arm crossbows are not difficult to obtain, but the difficulty is to obtain them in such large quantities.
This kind of weapon can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of a tribe, even a goblin tribe, in a short period of time.
If the goblins in the Spirit Crystal Mine were to acquire such a bunch of equipment.
Gavin definitely had a headache and couldn't sleep for a short period of time.
This is the main reason why Gavin didn't let Clay go after his death and let the dog demon eat his body - Clay himself has already done everything possible, so don't blame Gavin for not thinking about it.
And the slightest bit of affection from the past.
As soon as he returned to the Black Well Tribe, Gavin immediately distributed a hundred single-arm crossbows.
Each of Ode led by Buck received one card and thirty crossbow arrows as their reward for this battle.
This time, the Erd team played the most important role in catching the traitor.
Relying on their air superiority and Cangya's fog-hiding technique, they followed Andy without anyone noticing and manipulated them into little control.
Through this cooperation, Captain Buck had to re-examine Gavin and his Black Well tribe.
Gavin's use of tactics, grasp of timing, and diverse coordination of magic are far beyond what Buck can match.
Who would have thought that a level one spell-like ability, Mist Hidden Technique, could allow their entire Erd team to hide in the air without being discovered?
Who would have thought that the goblin warlock dragged by Erd could cast fireballs from the air and bomb the ground?
Who would have thought that a ventriloquism technique would cause the group of goblin wolf knights to charge their allies without knowing what was going on?
Anyway, before this, Captain Buck would never have thought of killing him.
Gavin opened a new door for him, and it turned out that the battle could still be fought this way.
Captain Buck originally only had 30% hope for Gavin's plan to wipe out the harpies in Eagle Cliff. Now this hope has become 60%. If he were to take command, he would definitely play a different trick.
.
Gavin and the others took Clay's truck back to the Black Well Tribe, and then brought back the food they had previously sold to the Goblin Tribe.
Gavin and the others are divided into two groups.
On the other side, Gavin only sent Howl and fifty kobold soldiers.
The other goblins in the Spirit Crystal Mine didn't know Andy's plan, and the roar was real and intimidating. The half-ogre only needed to catch up and roar, and the group of food-carrying goblins dispersed.
