Everyone was originally in a light sleep state, but when the explosion sounded, they were all awakened. After all, they were in this desolate land and could face danger at any time. No one dared to sleep too hard.
Before the night watchman finished speaking, everyone had already formed an elemental barrier and stood up with weapons in hand.
Together with Allen and other four fire element knights, they reacted quickly and immediately raised four fireballs. The dazzling red light illuminated everything within a few hundred meters, and everyone whose vision was no longer restricted quickly gathered.
Several earth elemental knights also had gray-yellow light flashing around them, and clusters of stone thorns emerged from the ground, blocking the way of everyone, blocking the oncoming enemies.
"The Balrog!"
Ming Ke, who was in front of the crowd, looked at the sneak attacker, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly.
At this time, Mingke's body was filled with purple electricity, and his gray armor shot out lightning from time to time. He was holding a purple battle axe, and he was a rare knight with the element of thunder.
Ahead, under the light of the fireball, dozens of humanoid creatures appeared. These creatures were blocked by stone thorn bushes. Their original momentum was stagnant and they could only stop hastily.
Is this the Balrog? On one side of the crowd, Allen looked at these dark guys in front of him in surprise.
Although he had known about the Balrogs from books before, this was the first time he had actually seen them.
They are generally a head shorter than humans, and their skin is as black as ink, like old tree bark full of ravines.
The pair of eyes on the bald head are as small as slits, but their gaze is very fierce. The wings of the nose are unusually wide, and the two ears are the size of rose petals, which are tightly attached to the skin on the side of the head.
These Balrogs have no hair, and most of them have a worn-out animal skin hanging on their bodies. Most of the weapons in their hands are sticks and stones, with only a few rusty metal weapons.
"Haha! It turned out to be just some 'wild dogs', which scared me!"
After he really saw who the sneak attacker was, a middle-aged knight wearing green armor and a beard on the left side of Allen said with a loud laugh.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Most people were actually shocked by the sudden attack, but when they actually discovered the attacker, they all felt relieved.
The Balrog that appeared in front of me was just rubbish among the Balrogs!
"Wild Dog" is what the mercenaries active in the Flame Realm call the Balrog in front of them.
There are two types of Balrogs, one is the blood-striped Balrogs, who have very conspicuous blood-red patterns on their skin, and the other is the Balrogs in front of Allen now, who have completely black skin.
The blood-striped Balrogs are the Balrogs that the mercenaries say they are afraid of every day, and the Balrogs in front of them are called 'wild dogs' by the mercenaries.
Wandering, crazy, pitiful, and disgusting are all words that can be used to describe wild dogs.
The Balrog clan is very similar to the Kobold clan. Both are divided into levels from the moment they are born, but the Balrog clan is even more extreme.
The blood-striped Balrog's IQ is much higher than that of wild dogs, and can even be compared with humans. It can breathe fire and grow by soaking in volcanic magma and absorbing the rich fire element.
The "wild dogs" have relatively low IQs, not much higher than normal wild beasts. They are ferocious and bloodthirsty and have a strong desire to attack. Unfortunately, they are very weak and cannot even live near volcanoes. Their physical fitness is about the same as that of ordinary humans.
In Allen's opinion, the relationship between the blood-striped Balrog and the 'wild dog' is the relationship between an owner and his pet.
The 'master' feeds the 'wild dogs', and the 'wild dogs' serve as cannon fodder and consumables to fight for the master.
When the 'master' is hungry, he can kill the 'wild dog' for meat. When the 'master' is unhappy, he can beat the 'wild dog' for fun. When the 'master' is in a good mood, he may reward the 'wild dog' with a bone.
As long as mercenaries have been active in war zones for a long time, they will probably encounter some varying numbers of 'wild dogs', most of which lost contact with their 'masters' during the war.
These disorganized ‘wild dogs’ will wander throughout the Fire Realm, hunting life and obtaining food. Although they are not strong, they are extremely annoying.
As soon as they see humans, they will swarm them, regardless of their strength. They are completely a group of unintelligent beasts. Only by using thunderous means to hurt them will they run away in fear.
"Take action and kill them." Ming Ke said slowly, his eyes still cold.
Once humans and Balrogs meet in the Flame Territory, both sides have only one choice, and that is to kill until the other person dies, even if the other person may be as fragile as an ant to you.
This is a territorial dispute and a racial dispute. No one has the ability to persuade the other party to retreat, and there is no reason to argue.
Hey! Hey!
As soon as he finished speaking, the tomahawk in Mingke's hand flashed with thunder, and he could be seen wielding the ax in the air and slashing in the direction of the Balrog.
In an instant, Leith danced in the air, dazzling light bloomed, and a purple thunder struck at the group of Balrogs.
The thunderbolt passed over the stone thorns in the blink of an eye and accurately hit the center of the Balrog.
boom!
The thunder roared, the thunder light flashed, the powerful thunder exploded, the earth trembled, and the air waves rolled.
The nearest Balrogs were blown to pieces, and a dozen Balrogs had their limbs blown off.
After a bolt of lightning, most of the Balrogs were damaged, and not a single Balrog was still standing safely.
This attack is like a high-level knight fighting an ordinary human, and the outcome will naturally be disastrous.
"ah……"
The injured Balrog lay on the ground groaning, making incomprehensible cries. His charred severed limbs could no longer be connected, and his eyes were full of fear, like a wild dog that was being yelled at and fled in a hurry.
.
However, the Balrog's misfortune was not over yet. After a thunderbolt, several scorching fireballs, sinister thorn vines, rapidly rotating wind blades, and sharp stone thorns all attacked the Balrog.
The fireball exploded, blowing up many Balrogs to pieces. The flesh was burned black, and thorns were wrapped around it. Finger-long wooden thorns were pierced into the Balrogs' bodies. Wind blades cut them, and stone holes were pierced. They were still alive.
The Balrogs were immediately killed by this wave of attacks.
After killing these Balrogs and setting up traps again, the night became quiet again.
When Allen woke up again, it was already dark. Except for the group of Balrogs, there were no other attacks on the camp last night.
The sun gradually rose in the distance, and the team began to head towards Kechila Volcano.
Allen sat on the back of Black Rhinoceros, looking at the still barren land in front of him, and squinted his eyes.
At present, they are still far away from the Kechila volcanoes, and they still need to walk for about two days, which means that it may not be until the evening of the day after tomorrow that they can reach the Kechila volcanoes.
