Chapter 142 The Just Adventurer (Third update, please subscribe)
The entire monster army is under the control of the red dragon and the strange object.
So Zuo Si spent the next hour or so constantly tricking those monsters that were individually powerful or had professional levels into them and made them into biological cards that could be used as cannon fodder.
Among them, creatures such as orcs, half-orcs, hobgoblins, and gnolls are directly infected with the lycanthropy curse and transformed into werewolves, and then made into group summoning cards in teams.
Creatures such as trolls, ogres, half-giants and snake wizards are kept as they are and are made into independent cards one by one.
In order to make up for the huge consumption of mana, Zuo Si even drained many magic weapons, equipment, potions, scrolls, items and wands that were temporarily unused.
If that’s not enough, bring the Shadow Legion to sneak into the monster’s camp and quietly hunt down those unlucky ones who are sleeping soundly.
Especially those goblins who are so messed up that even they don’t know how many they have.
Their status in this monster army is simply cannon fodder, coolies, and food reserves for emergency times.
No one would care even if they were all dead.
As for the orcs and gnolls who mastered divine arts, Zuo Si was not sure if the gods or demon lords would continue to grant them divine arts if they were sealed into cards, or whether they would be aware of his actions.
So I didn’t move for the time being out of caution.
After his troubles, the quality of the monster army that was originally "full of talents" immediately dropped by several levels.
Especially after the loss of many hobgoblin officers responsible for maintaining order and coordinating conflicts between different monsters, internal instability began to increase rapidly.
In less than an hour, several small-scale conflicts and fights broke out.
Of course, this is also related to the previous large-scale hunting by the Shadow Legion.
Although it was eventually suppressed by strange objects with psychic abilities, it was only a matter of time before it collapsed.
After all, these monsters were forcibly integrated together.
Just like the nomads in ancient times.
Although they are all nominally subordinate to a leader called "Khan", they are still essentially composed of countless small tribes.
Perhaps one is braver than the other when fighting against the wind.
Once you encounter setbacks or failures, the collapse speed will be faster than the snowball gathering.
It is simply not comparable to those real armies that have gone through strict training and discipline.
But this is also the result of Zuo Si's deliberate actions.
Watching Wilmes' huge body rise into the sky and disappear into the night sky, he said to himself: "I hope this red dragon called Bertogas will be captured in Mailantma. Maybe I will be attracted by wealth. Otherwise, I may have to make some modifications to the existing plan.”
"Master, what are we going to do now?" the werewolf girl Fangus asked in a low voice.
Her eyes clearly still contained shock, confusion and confusion.
I don’t understand why all the guys who were transformed into werewolves by me disappeared inexplicably.
"Next? The next step is of course to be a righteous adventurer and rescue all the captured humans here. You and the manticore go to hide in the woods over there first."
< br>Speaking, Zuo Si turned around and glanced at Jahira and Khalid, who were still standing stupidly not far away.
No hesitation!
He used the [Disarm Wand] directly on these two people.
As the power of the third-ring arcana—dispelling magic—began to take effect, they quickly regained consciousness from the controlled state.
Especially Jaheira, who was completely naked, was suddenly awakened by the cool night breeze.
She glanced down at first, and immediately subconsciously blocked her important parts with her arms. She couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn it! Where is this place? Where are my clothes?"
"Jia...Jahira! Are you okay?"
Khalid also got up from the ground and asked with concern.
"I'm fine! It's just that my memory is a little confused and I can't remember what happened before." Jahira pressed her temple hard.
Obviously, the strange object's psychic powers put a certain strain on her brain. But fortunately, it doesn't seem like the problem is big, it's just that a small part of the memory is temporarily missing.
After confirming that these two people did not know what had just happened, Zuo Si immediately picked up the clothes, leather armor and weapons that originally belonged to Jaheira on the ground, walked directly to them and handed them over.
In an instant!
The pair of half-elves were startled by the sudden appearance of the person.
Khalid even blocked Jaheira behind him, and stammered and asked sharply: "You...who are you?"
Zuo Si pretended to be harmless to humans and animals. She shrugged her shoulders: "Don't be nervous, I'm not hostile, I just want to bring clothes to the lady behind you.
Also, do you really not remember what happened before?
Such as being captured by a powerful red dragon? "
"Red dragon?
Ah! I remembered!
We wanted to get closer to investigate this monster camp, but we were caught by the patrolling gnolls.
Then he was brought to an evil and violent red dragon.
This is the last picture I saw when I lost consciousness. ”
Jahira suddenly recalled the lost memory, and couldn’t help but shiver all over, her eyes filled with deep fear.
Similarly, Khalid was Under the reminder of the former, he also recalled the horrific scene, and his lips trembled slightly uncontrollably.
It took several minutes for the two of them to slowly recover from the despair.
In the end, Jaheira was the first to stand up, took the clothes and leather armor from Zuo Si, and bowed solemnly: "Thank you! Thank you for saving our lives! Although I don't know how you did it. But if it weren't for you, we would have been killed by now."
"You're welcome. I only dared to get close and use [Dispel Magic] to help you after I saw the red dragon fly away. I regained consciousness." Zuo Si raised the [Release Wand] in his hand and shook it.
"Fly...fly away? Where did the red dragon fly to?" Khalid asked stammeringly.
"I don't know. Maybe he went hunting, or maybe he was just wandering around boredly. I think we should take advantage of this time to rescue the humans who were captured by the monsters." Zuo Si took the initiative Invitations were sent.
Obviously, he was deliberately trying to get close to the two members of the Harper Alliance so that he could get more useful information from each other in the future.
Jaheira put on her clothes and leather armor very quickly, and echoed with a serious expression: "You are right! We should give priority to rescuing those innocent civilians and prisoners. But you are sure that you can do it with just the three of us. To this point? "
"Of course! I am a very powerful mage and can easily deal with the orcs guarding the prisoners.
All you have to do is organize these people. , escape as quickly as possible before the monster is discovered.
Don’t panic if you are accidentally exposed, just run towards the city wall of Mailatma.
I will take care of it.”
Zuo Si deliberately put on a confident look and took care of everything.
But Jaheira, who was cautious in character, obviously didn't believe it, and even showed unabashed suspicion.
In her opinion, the human being in front of her was too young, so young that it was impossible for her to become a qualified mage.
But I don’t know how to refute.
After all, Zuo Si really saved her and Khalid from the hands of the terrifying red dragon just now.
Especially the "magic wand", which can only be used by those with magical training.
Standing there and weighing the pros and cons, Jaheira decided to give it a try first.
Anyway, there is definitely no hope for Mailatma. It is better to rescue everyone now than to let the monsters enslave them to death.
In this way, the three of them quickly reached an agreement and sneaked towards the place where the human prisoners were held.
After they were completely submerged in the darkness, the werewolf girl slowly walked out of the woods where she was hiding, and asked with a puzzled face: "What on earth is the master doing?"
"Don't think too much. With your little head, it's impossible to figure out the master's thoughts. All we have to do is obey the orders honestly. Let's go, I will take you back to the caravan camp now." The tailed lion flapped its wings vigorously and urged impatiently.
Fangers nodded thoughtfully, quickly climbed onto the back of the manticore and grabbed the thick mane around the manticore's neck. He quickly rose into the air and became an inconspicuous little figure in the night sky. black spots.
