Chapter 81 Greed, you are my favorite original sin

You will never die until you reach the Sanggan River - a proverb that has been circulated in the Aegean continent ever since.

***************************************************

*********************The journey of Master Fran and Master Ortega back to the other side was not smooth. Another magic apprentice fell to that place on the way back.

The damn little witch is under the endless magic water arrows.

After finally reaching the south bank, the two masters used space to trade for time, and gradually regained the momentum.

Across the wide Sanggan River, it is not easy for even a sharp archer to hit a moving object, let alone attack with magic. At this time, the magic battle on both sides started from close range and quickly.

The confrontation has become a training hall for mid- to high-level magic - only the covering strike of mid-to-high-level magic can have a certain degree of damage to long-distance targets.

From the equipment point of view, there is not much difference between the two sides.

The two magicians came well prepared, with magic scrolls tucked into their arms in bundles. After fighting for a long time, the two great magicians suddenly remembered that they also had several gems and magic crystals tucked away in their pockets.

——This low-level mistake cannot be entirely blamed on the two masters. Master Fran and Master Ortega have also participated in battles before, and they still have some combat experience. But in which battle, the magician was not the one holding the favor?

The palms of my hands were afraid of flying away, and I was holding them in my mouth for fear of melting. I was safely placed at the back and sat there, calmly performing magic. There had never been a battle like this, with so many tough and strong opponents.

.

Since I arrived in this damn Beamon territory, I was first seriously irritated by the figure who couldn't be beaten no matter how hard I tried. After finally solving this figure, before I could recover, I fell into another hard battle, and then was "bloody"

This unexpected surprise greatly stimulated them, and then they were severely humiliated by an intermediate water magician. There was no room for the two masters to calm down and think.

But it's not too late now. Although the magic power stored in gems and magic crystals is not as exaggerated as "blood marrow", it is better than nothing. The two masters blushed at each other and quickly changed the gems on their staffs.

.

The equipment on Avril's side is not bad either. Not to mention the "Fountain of Elements" and magic crystals, there are quite a few magic clam shell scrolls that have been hoarded in the past two months. Karu stuffed his pockets with a bang, and is now

The proprietress stood behind her in a majestic manner. There was not much, just half a pocket of magic clam shell scrolls.

But in terms of real strength comparison, Avril Lavigne has no advantage at all.

Water magic is inherently the weakest in attack power among all magics, and fire magic happens to be the nemesis of water magic. This gap is not easy to see when using low-level magic, but when using mid-to-high-level magic,

During the competition, this gap became obvious. However, after all, mermaids are sea people who are born with the ability to communicate with the water element. Although she is an intermediate magician, Avril can still summon high-level magic through the clam shell scroll. Compared with just

Master Ortega, who can use intermediate magic, is of course much stronger, but with the addition of Master Fran, a high-level magician, Avril's luck will end here.

In a long-distance battle between magicians, both sides use mid-to-high-level magic to blast each other. Even if the mermaid's spellcasting speed is fast, it is still much faster than a human magician, let alone one on two.

Master Ortega first used the intermediate fire magic "Fire Meteor" to launch a retaliatory attack on Avril. Avril Lavigne met her with the high-level water magic "Water Blade Storm", completely defeating the power of this "Fire Meteor".

After the water element and the fire element collided fiercely and disappeared into the air, Master Fran made a time lag insidiously, and his high-level space magic "Three Rounds of Dimensional Slash" was launched just at this time.

After all, they are two cunning magicians. I have to admit that even Avril, who has a small mouthful of "Fountain of Elements" under her tongue, can't compete with this kind of fighting style. Avril just used her speed to fight one against five.

, now she, in turn, is restrained by speed.

The defeat just now had nothing to do with strength at all. The two masters were really stunned by Avril's quick and fast rogue style of fighting, which took full advantage of her own speed and used "bricks to break martial arts, machete to chop fighting spirit" at close range.

In fact, it was not only the two magicians who were stunned, but also all the members of the slave-catching group, who was not beaten by Feilengcui's gang of country behemoths who just beat the old master to death with random punches.

He was beaten so hard that he couldn't even find his direction.

Human beings are human beings. After stabilizing their position, they can always find a solution, explore their own strengths and exploit the weaknesses of their enemies, and then attack their opponents in turn. This is why humans can dominate this continent, not Behemoth, elves, or

The fundamental reason for dwarves.

Avril is now complaining endlessly. The "three rounds of dimensional slashes" flying over the river are like three flying axes riding the wind and waves. She finally knocked off one with continuous water arrows, and the remaining two have already flown in front of her.

.

Master Fran's expectant expression was disappointed.

He ignored the two beautiful priests again. Ignoring the priests was as stupid as ignoring the magicians. Just when Master Ortega summoned the "Fire Meteor", the two priests had already begun to sing loud war songs.

The remaining two extremely powerful magical powers of this "Three Rounds of Dimensional Slash" disappeared without a trace the moment they approached the river bank. Although the power of a war song of "Alina's Dispersion Song" alone cannot eliminate the energy of a high-level magic

, but with two war songs and a war dance, it is definitely not a problem to dispel a mentor-level magic.

"Song of dispelling magic?" The two masters looked at each other and shrugged regretfully.

I will never give up until I reach Sanggan River.

Knowing that the chanting speed of Priest Beamon's war song could not match the magician's casting speed, the two unyielding magicians once again summoned a high-level magic and a mid-level magic through the scroll and blasted them to the other side.

This time, Avril was too lazy to intercept the two magics. She directly used "Hurricane Wave Slash" to bring the huge waves of the Sanggan River and fiercely pounced on the two human magicians.

Sacrificial pets are not just for free. The thunder and lightning of Komodo War Beast and Velociraptor also made the two magicians aware of a serious problem - sub-dragon-level monsters, but only the union title is Mage.

Only magicians of above level can resist.

Although the magic used by the two monsters is not high-level, they can cast magic instantly, rather than the long spells and chants required by magicians to summon them.

In medium and long-distance battles, except for the mentor-level magic, grandmaster-level magic and holy-level magic used by magicians, magisters and Shengqiao magicians to make the sub-dragon monsters powerless, other levels of magic and sub-dragon-level monsters

You can completely rely on the speed advantage of your instant magic to defeat quality with quantity.

Neither of the two masters had reached the level of using magic above the master level, so they could only watch and continue to suffer.

The furious "Hurricane Wave Slash" suddenly shattered the magic shields of the two masters into pieces. Instead of a row of mercenaries volunteering to protect them with battle shields, the two masters were more or less dead.

Colorful.

Under Count Toti's helpless summons, the two arrogant magicians fled to the river embankment. After both sides were unable to do anything to each other, the magic war came to an end with a tacit understanding.

Count Toti wanted to cry at this time.

When they set off from Dolot, there was a luxurious formation of three thousand mercenaries and plunderers. As soon as they entered the Feilengcui gate, a whole squadron of spearmen, a squadron of great swordsmen and a squadron of archers fell on the red clay slope.

On the steps of death, there was also a heavily armored scythe operator who was burned by a fire, the catapult and bed crossbow operators who were killed by the cheating Pige, and the terrifying bird-wing crossbow vehicle.

According to a conservative estimate, four hundred and fifty of the mage's followers fell before crossing the river.

Not to mention the tragic situation in the Sanggan River. Because they didn't know how to drink water, at least seventy or eighty mercenaries fell into the water and drowned. Two dozen hippo warriors each smashed five short axes, killing at least one person.

One hundred thirty or forty people, including men and horses, killed about two hundred and fifty light cavalry. The three hundred mercenaries who finally climbed up to the north bank were killed by two Yalong priests, two Templar knights, and one

The mixed team of Mammoth Cavalry and the help of hundreds of bugbears, hobgoblins and ogres who suddenly appeared were all killed.

He finally tried to teleport forty cavalry, but it was in vain.

At present, there are less than 1,600 people left in the entire slave-catching group. From the nearly 3,000 people when they set out, half of them were lost in the blink of an eye.

Among the remaining personnel, except for the more than 300 retinue knights loyal to the Sherpa family and their servants who were intact, the Sherpa family's biggest loss was that a slave-catching squadron and the originally dispatched slave squadron were defeated by hippo warriors when crossing the river.

There are more than forty excellent scouts in the "Tornado" mercenary group, but the others are in a miserable state. There are only fifty giant scythes left in the "Tornado" mercenary group, and the two squadron leaders are dead. The "Metal Rose" mercenary group is even worse, with the leader

With the deputy regiment commander all hanging up, there are currently only three squadrons of light cavalry and about 70 regiment commander's personal soldiers left on the south bank. Three hundred light cavalry are still dripping wet - a medium-sized cavalry with 1,500 people.

The mercenary group was actually beaten and crippled alive. With the help of "blood marrow", the two magicians were killed by the other party, their two apprentices and all their followers, and they fled back in embarrassment.

"I've been fooled!" Count Toti stared at the Sanggan River reluctantly and repeated this sentence in a muttered voice.

The opponent has 200 powerful slave warriors, 20 Orphan warriors, 20 hippopotamus warriors, 300 hobgoblin warriors and 200 vassal warriors, plus two Yalong priests and two temples.

The knight plus a water magician are powerful enough to fight a head-on battle with the slave-catching group.

But the opponent chose a strategy. Under this insidious strategy, Beamon annihilated half of the human slave-catching group at the cost of minor casualties and a burned red clay slope!

"I thought that I, a talented student who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy of San Francisco, was unknowingly manipulated by a group of stupid orcs. They relied on the dangerous terrain to block the attack and misguided my thinking.

Underestimating the enemy's advance, and then using the Sanggan River navy to attack me...Who came up with such a vicious plan? We are here to attack them..." The earl was thinking about this question over and over in his mind. The poor earl

They were almost driven crazy by the torture.

Looking at the insurmountable natural danger of Sanggan River, the earl couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Priest! Why didn't I bring a high-level priest this time but a priest! If there was a priest's sacred spell, how could I let the evil aura of the Behemoth priest wreak havoc on my cavalry? Why didn't I bring enough heavy equipment this time?

Infantry! With heavy infantry, how could I have eight Behemoths blocking me on the steps of death for so long! If my catapult team and crossbow team were still there, and the geometer Archimedes was still there, how could it be possible?

Let the two magicians personally cover the infantry who landed! Why don't I have a magician? Sanggan River, why don't you have a fucking bridge?" The earl yelled at Sanggan River why, and pulled out his own

The sword slashed at the air again.

"Sir, should we retreat back to Dolot first?" Master Fran asked cautiously.

"I'm so unwilling." The earl shook his head painfully and stared at the other side again. There were beauties there and everything he wanted, but there was the Daosang River, and there was a group of extremely dangerous hippo warriors.

The Behemoths on the other side burst into cheers, and countless Behemoth warriors began to climb on the rattan boats and bamboo rafts. It seemed that they were preparing for a counterattack.

The earl stared at it blankly for a long time. Only when he saw these Behemoths actually rowing the oars did he realize that it was indeed true.

Is there such a good thing? The count rolled his eyes in disbelief.

The earl quickly used his military acumen to make an accurate estimate. There were only five or six hundred soldiers in Behemoth. The number of rattan boats and bamboo rafts was not very large. The first batch of people transported across the river was only two or three at most.

Hundreds of people, the Komodo War Beast cannot settle accounts yet due to its huge size. The Velociraptor and the Mammoth can swim, but the two magicians are still there, their magic power is still abundant, and both masters are

He can use the fire magic that mammoths are most afraid of. There are still 1,600 people in his own headquarters, including 1,000 light cavalry. When Beamon comes ashore, he can charge with lances to cover up the kill, and there are 50 heavy scythes.

There are also five to six hundred soldiers and infantry.

This ratio made Lord Earl's heart beat so fast.

How could they be so confident without the natural danger of Sanggan River? Is it another conspiracy? The count was quickly calculating another possibility.

As if in response to the count's conjecture, dozens of rattan boats appeared out of thin air on the river, with countless Behemoth warriors sitting on them.

"Bah! This is just a cover-up! Lord Earl, what should we do now? You must not be deceived by this kind of magic that manipulates light." The two magicians were obviously ready to make a move, and the human subconscious was unwilling to accept it.

Even the learned magician is not immune to the personality of surrendering.

"Everyone is ready!" Lord Earl gritted his teeth: "Line up to meet the enemy!"

A slightly strange "king"-shaped battle formation opened its bloody mouth on the tidal flat below the river embankment where the "Feleng Cui Toll Station" on the north bank is located.

Five to six hundred servants were deployed in a skirmish line at the forefront, and together with more than 300 Sherpa slave catchers and hundreds of engineers behind them, they occupied the most open beach on the north bank of the Sanggan River.

In the middle of this compact phalanx are heavily armed scythes and earls, plus dozens of skilled personal guards. Even a dozen black slaves have issued weapons to follow them, and thousands of light cavalry are following them.

Spreading out from the two wings behind the earl, two magicians and magic apprentices were sitting behind the cavalry on a simple high platform made of temporary bamboos, ready for battle.

This kind of hierarchical structure, to put it bluntly, has a direct descendant of the earl on each level, which has the meaning of supervising the battle team.

Why put the most poorly equipped servants at the forefront? In addition to the low life of these servants, the two magicians and the earl had other considerations and had deep-seated plans - this battle is really a training exercise

After experiencing a series of blows, the two magicians began to learn to think about problems very calmly.

The more Count Toti observed the terrain, the more confident he felt.

This place is really good. One hundred yards behind the tidal flat is the river embankment. Two hundred yards away from the river embankment is the burning red clay slope, which can provide a good line of sight. The tidal flat is very large. Directly in front of the battle formation is the

An open space about forty yards long and two hundred yards wide is also the only large embankment. The river embankments in other places are too narrow and steep due to the river water, but here it feels like a sap.

There was a huge collapse, forming a natural port.

If this group of Behemoths choose to climb ashore from other steep river embankments, the cavalry can rush over quickly and stab the exposed Behemoths to death one by one with lances; the lush reeds on the beach are harvested by the servants.

After that, they all lined up in a row and piled up at the mouth of the river beach. This was used to set fire to block the mammoth cavalry. Because of the winter, the originally soft silt of the entire beach became as hard as iron, which was perfect for cavalry charges. One thousand

What a great cavalry! The earl thought that it would be enough for me to exchange two cavalrymen for the life of one of your Behemoth warriors.

Everything was ready, and the earl was sweating in his hands.

The two magicians began to compete with the two priests again. The magic beast's attack magic was only two to three hundred yards away, and the magicians still had a lot of initiative. Although the two magicians knew that they wanted to fight between a mermaid and two

Sinking a ship in front of a priest who can use "Alina's Dispelling Song" is just a dream, but you have to try it.

The real and fake vine boats were mixed together. If the two magicians had not discovered gems and magic crystals later, they would have had no backup plan to deal with these cunning Behemoth warriors.

The distance was close to two hundred yards, and the raptor that could swim began to roar in the river. Master Fran and Master Ortega began to be beaten passively. The instant magic of Warcraft was powerful, and the two masters gave symbolic help.

The scythe-wielders added a few shields and then stopped responding. At this time, the arrangement of the two masters worked. The servants used simple wooden shields to protect the scythe-wielders and slave catchers. The wooden shields resisted

The Velociraptor's "Chain Lightning" attack has a very obvious effect - wood is non-conductive. Although the servants suffered some losses, the result was completely acceptable to the Count.

The slave catcher also began to use the bow and arrow he picked up to suppress the opponent. After all, he was not a well-trained professional archer. He didn't know that he should use upward shooting instead of horizontal shooting at this time, so this sparse arrow rain would not bring any harm to the opponent.

No matter how much damage is done - the opponent has a lot of shields. The two vine boats at the front also have two super turtle shells erected like door panels.

The count once again shouted in regret and annoyance why there was no archer in the squadron.

The light cavalry were restlessly restraining the horses in the rear row. Although the horses did not do anything extraordinary, they could not help but subconsciously rein in. Most of the cavalry were trembling. The feeling of falling into the water in winter was not good.

It was so uncomfortable that they felt their hands holding the rifles were a little numb.

As if ten thousand years had passed, Behemoth's rattan boat and bamboo raft came to a halt about thirty yards from the shore. Even the mammoths and velociraptors that came slowly to swim in the water also stopped.

We have stopped moving forward, and now we are in shallow water. A dozen giant beasts are half wading in the water, and half of their bodies are exposed in the cold, dry air.

This is a dangerous distance.

The earl and the two magicians were calculating that this distance was enough for the beautiful priest to release the Komodo war beast, long enough for the mammoth cavalry to charge ashore, and more suitable to light the reeds.

However, the Komodo War Beast did not appear, and the Mammoth Cavalry and Velociraptor did not wash up on the shore.

This was simply torturing the nerves of all humans. The small-scale harassment by both sides stopped at this time. The weapons in the human hands tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, and everyone was swallowing and spitting with difficulty.

"What are you doing?" The Earl looked nervously at these Behemoth warriors, not sure what kind of medicine they were selling.

At this time, all the Behemoths collectively raised their heads to the air, and sang a song in unison with their loud throats, as if their parents were remarrying.

"A Sanggan River~~The waves are wide~~The wind blows the fragrance of tangerine on both sides~~My family lives on a high red soil slope~~I am used to hearing the whistle of the north wind~~I am used to seeing the Taimurraya Snow Mountain~

~When a friend comes, there will be rum~~If that human being comes~~There will be spears to greet it~~" {Which brother provided this?} The singing voice was particularly powerful in the chorus of hundreds of people,

The language used is also a widely circulated human common language. Although there are many dialects and local accents, it does not hinder the understanding ability of the human alliance.

"Lance gun?" Human curiosity made everyone whisper to each other strangely, asking each other what it was.

"This is the spear!" A thunderous explosion shook the earth from behind the human beings.

Humanity collectively looks back.

Twenty bear men of the Bier tribe, who were as majestic as mountains, each holding two silver spears that could turn the windmill, stood drunkenly on the river embankment about a hundred yards behind the human battle formation. Behind them was the

Thatched shack toll station; twenty-two strong Behemoth men who look like Rhine lions, each holding a copper rod, stand proudly on the left side of the bears, and forty-five Dees riding on ostrich-like mounts

The Er tribe musk men were lined up on the right side of the bear man. These musk men soon made many Sherpa slave catchers look familiar.

These Behemoths have a lot of conspicuous red dirt on their hair and clothes, and their expressions are cold and confident.

Human beings were completely attracted by the Behemoth army crossing the river, and they didn't even know when this group of Behemoths appeared.

"Don't mess! Don't mess! If anyone breaks the formation, behead him!" The count yelled at the top of his lungs. Even he didn't know that he could shout so loudly. There were vague signs of commotion in the crowd around him, but

Fortunately, the earl has many direct descendants and is suppressing them.

"They don't even have a hundred people, so you don't have to worry! Attention all infantry, keep your sights in front of you! Attention, cavalry of Metal Rose! Kill these Behemoths! For every one you kill, I will give you a reward of 100 gold coins!

"The earl tried his best to use a gentle tone and gave the order slowly.

The two masters nervously observed the movements of the vine boats and mammoth cavalry in the river, and from time to time turned their heads to observe the sudden appearance of the Behemoth warriors. Although the two masters still smiled on the surface, they were holding the staffs and magic scrolls tightly.

The tension in their hearts has been deeply betrayed.

Metal Rose's light cavalry were already preparing to shout to their horses to rush over, but a sudden blow knocked them out of their minds.

The bears respectfully gave way to a path, and seven tall and burly Orephan elephant warriors, like stars over the moon, set off a strong figure that caught the eyes of the cavalry.

What a terrifying yet familiar figure!

He has two tiger-head hooks, a mace on his back, a body of strong and wild muscles and iconic chest hair, and a thirty-six-ounce gold chain around his neck.

There was a macaw on his shoulder, which was picking its feathers leisurely. At his feet stood a frost-skinned parrot wearing a bearskin hat and a leopard-skin bellyband, and a piglet with a small tail dangling.

.

This Frost Snow Pichu actually holds two eight-sided copper hammers in its small claws that are larger than its body.

A Wolf and four Green Mantis men stood behind him with their hands folded, their eyes cold and focused.

The two great magicians had dull eyes and opened their mouths like singing hippos.

The light cavalry of Metal Rose will never forget who this Beamon is! All humans will never forget who he is!

The stairway with gleaming swords and shadows! The shining silver bird-winged crossbow! The flying guillotine! Lifting up a woolly rhinoceros and smashing it to the ground!

"Give you a fair chance! Magicians and human warriors! I will let you see what a real Behemoth warrior is!" The invincible Pigeon said loudly: "In addition, I will also let you use

Blood and life, remember this sentence unforgettable!"

A huge snow crane, accompanied by a ray of silver light, flew over the emerald green sky.

The unbeatable Pige stood proudly in the strong wind, his long hair dancing in the air, and his eyes like comets piercing the night sky.

"You are just a bunch of idiots!" Pige raised the pair of huge tiger-head hooks in his hands and let out an earth-shattering roar.

The brilliant golden steel sword illuminated the dim night at the next moment.
