Trolls attack Broken Snow City, which sounds like the grand finale of a banquet.
Of course, Erwin is not the kind of person who likes to joke. Judging from his expression and tone, the situation has reached a serious level.
"Are the casualties serious?"
"No one died, but several guards were injured," Erwin said. "This mountain monster didn't use its full strength. We don't know its intentions yet."
"It doesn't matter whether it uses its full strength or not," Imma said with disdain, "Kill the mountain demon and send the injured to my hospital. For such a simple matter, do you still need to alert the lord?"
"It's a pity, Imma," Erwin said, "We can't send the wounded soldiers to the hospital for the time being, because the troll happened to attack your hospital."
"Oh my God!" Imma quickly followed Reggie to the hospital, and Natalie also chased after her. Just as Barcello was about to go out, Catherine looked reluctant to leave.
"My warrior, when will you come back?" Catherine took Batchelor's arm and coquettishly.
"Maybe... I don't have to be so anxious," Batchelor pinched Catherine's cheek, "I think the lord can easily deal with this mountain monster."
…
On the way, Reggie kept recalling the knowledge related to the troll. As one of the rarest creatures in the world, there are not many books about the troll, but the troll in the Lost Mountain is a special case. The Bachello family
There is a whole series of books describing them in detail.
According to the records in the book, the mountain monsters in the Lost Mountains were originally kind-hearted humans, but they were cursed by the God of Mist and degenerated into evil creatures.
They killed the wild beasts in the mountains and each other. Years of battles and heavy grievances finally awakened the evil spirits underground.
After the evil demon was reborn, it almost wiped out all the creatures in the mountain. Just when the mountain demon was about to perish, a great mountain demon king, Theo Titan, appeared.
He united all the mountain monsters together and drove the evil spirits underground again. He set rules for the mountain monsters, so that they were not allowed to offend the humans under the mountain, and they were not allowed to kill the wild beasts in the mountain indiscriminately.
The story sounds very cliché. Almost every dynasty will make up a similar story at the beginning of its establishment, so that the people are about to perish, and then a powerful king is born to save everything.
But this proves one thing. Troll monsters are not only intelligent, but they have also formed their own culture. Their culture has even affected humans. The towns around the Lost Mountain have always adhered to an iron law. The Lost Mountain
The mountain monsters will not come down from the mountains to harm people, and people cannot go to the mountains to disturb them.
Of course, there will always be some gaps in the rules. Daring hunters dare to go to the Lost Mountains to capture some rare birds and animals. As long as they are not too greedy and do not spend the night in the mountains, if they are not very lucky, they will generally not be affected by the mountains.
Monster attack.
But it is very rare for a mountain monster to come down from the mountain and attack humans. There have been records of mountain monsters attacking farmland before, but there has never been a precedent of a mountain monster attacking a city. Moreover, this mountain monster attacked a hospital. What did it want to do? To cure the disease.
What?
"Erwin, how do you know that thing must be a troll?" Reggie asked.
"Because it bears the brand of Diotitan, which is the unique mark of the Lost Mountain."
When he arrived at the hospital, Reggie saw the brand that Erwin mentioned. Just like the picture in the book, the brand looked like a pair of wings, with an upright eye in the center of the wings.
No wonder Erwin saw this totem at a glance, because its position was so conspicuous, and it was branded on the face of this mountain monster. The upright eyes were on the eyebrows, and the wings extended along the eyebrows to the cheeks.
As for the appearance of this mountain demon...
Reggie always thought that all trolls should be as beautiful as Dorothy, but this troll was obviously far from his imagination.
He has a head, a drive, and limbs. Although the thick hair makes him look like a hairball, the overall shape is still relatively close to that of a human.
Judging from the well-developed muscles and deep roar, this mountain monster should be a man.
His height should be around five feet, which is about one and a half meters.
But the width of his body seems to be about five feet, which makes him look like a square brick with long hair.
As for his face, his eyes are a little bigger, probably like a baby's fists, his nose is also a little bigger, similar to a goblet in later generations, and his mouth is also a little bigger. It seems that he can swallow two fists, and his facial features are still separated.
It is easy to recognize, but when placed on a face that is almost as wide as the shoulders, it looks a bit abstract.
The troll squatted at the door of the hospital, picking up everything he could find and throwing it at the surrounding guards.
A stone flew past Reggie's cheek as fast as a bullet.
Erwin's judgment was accurate. The mountain monster was not using its full strength. If he killed it, there would be at least a few corpses left on the scene.
Of course, the guards did not use their full strength. They did not use grenades. On the one hand, they did not want to cause damage to the hospital, which was the hope of survival for the wounded soldiers.
On the other hand, they don't want to have a grudge against the mountain monster. All the residents of Broken Snow City have a natural awe and fear of the mountain monster.
"Give me the order, my lord," Erwin said. "The guards can kill him at any time."
The mountain demon has been injured, and the injury is serious. Even without a grenade, it is only a matter of time before he is killed.
But Reggie had to figure out one thing: why did this mountain monster attack Shattering Snow City?
Reggie slowly took a step forward and raised his hands to show that he had no weapons in his hands.
"Hello, friend, I don't want to hurt you," Reggie looked directly into the troll's eyes and said slowly, "Why did you come here? Do you need help?"
The mountain demon squatted on the ground and stared at Reggie with his huge eyes. He was very tired and there was some fear in his eyes. He was frightened. At least he was not as dangerous as others described him.
"You're bleeding, I can help you stop the bleeding," Reggie took another step forward, "Maybe my technique isn't very good, but I can ask Dr. Imma to come over and help you."
Reggie looked back at Imma, who shrank behind Erwin.
"Don't look at me, don't look at me, I won't touch that guy!" Imma trembled. Reggie's words seemed to remind the mountain demon. He pointed at Imma and said in a low voice.
: "Cusata?"
Cusata? Foreign language?
It seems that the mountain monsters of Lost Mountain have their own language system.
"Uh..." Reggie didn't know how to respond. He saw the expectation on the mountain demon's face, so he simply followed his instructions and nodded, "Yes, yes, Kusata, she is Kusata."
."
"Kusata." The mountain demon also nodded, and then rushed towards Imma crazily. Imma screamed loudly, but Erwin, who was standing in front of him, showed no fear.
Erwin calmly raised his sword, and the mountain demon also rushed in front of Erwin. It seemed that this time neither party would show mercy. At least one corpse would be left on the ground. At the critical moment, a strong wind blew and lifted the mountain demon.
Falling to the ground, Erwin swung his sword in the air and quickly took Imma to take a step back.
It was Natalie who took action, and her calmness greatly exceeded Reggie's expectations.
The troll lying on the ground still refused to give up. He struggled to get up and tried to rush towards Imma again, but was slammed against the wall by Natalie's strong wind.
The fall was so hard that the mountain demon fell to the ground unable to move.
He raised his head with difficulty, looked at Natalie, and murmured: "Tulitu, Tulitu."
Reggie nodded and said: "Yes, she is Tulitu, a very powerful Tulitu!"
The mountain demon lost his fighting spirit in his eyes, and Reggie took the opportunity to have him tied up and sent to the dungeon.
Erwin did not agree with Reggie's approach: "Sir, either let the mountain monster go or kill him immediately. You must not lock him up. He will call his companions to come and rescue him."
Standing at the door of the dungeon, Reggie had already heard the piercing cry of the mountain demon.
"Dio! Dio! Dio!"
Erwin said: "He is calling the Mountain Demon King. Sir, please kill him immediately!"
