Chapter 114 The curtain rises! All parties take the stage! (Second update)
"Captain Harper, our target is the humans in front, why didn't we catch up and deal with them earlier!"
A large group of kobolds were walking in the snow.
Compared to the fourteen people ahead who were exhausted from the long journey, the eighteen kobolds were in good physical condition.
“Our order is to monitor their behavior and find their purpose, not to kill them!”
"Cullen, I'm warning you not to question the captain's orders, otherwise I have the right to hand you over to the priest!"
Hearing Harper's words, Cullen shrank his head. Act like you're being obeyed.
In the kobold tribe, there are distinct classes.
Kobold warriors are the lowest-level wage earners. They can only do things silently and cannot engage in any "interruption", "hands-on" and other rude and disobedient behaviors.
This kind of strict class is very useful for people like kobolds who have IQ but do not reach the height of human IQ.
With the leader of a kobold warlock, basically a small team can attack wherever they go.
Of course, kobold warlocks are also divided into three, six or nine levels. Every time they go out to fight, they will act according to the division of labor among the captains.
When away from home, the captain has 100% right to convict the people below, but when it comes to punishment, it can only be carried out through sacrifices.
“Human meat is not delicious, but their blood is quite delicious. Once we catch their females, let them lay cubs every day for us to suck our blood!”
Next to Harper The kobold bared his teeth, and the words that came out of his mouth would make any human shudder when he heard them.
However, none of the kobolds said anything cruel. Instead, they all nodded in agreement.
The cold does not affect their bloodthirsty.
Similarly, the wind will not take away the messy footprints left on the ground.
With Harper's order, all the kobolds split into two groups, forming a larger pocket again, surrounding everyone before.
“Strange, why does it feel like Maeda Taketo is not in a hurry at all and walks so leisurely?”
With footprints leading the way and being familiar with the nearby terrain, Somo walked on the snow with light steps and nimbly crossed one small pit after another.
Because of the telescope, Somo could adjust his position at any time according to the picture in the telescope, even if he was hanging far behind Maeda Taketo and the tall man.
As for Oreo.
Sumo lowered his head and smiled immediately.
Originally, Oreo is a combination of black and white. Now, after covering its hair with a whole layer of snowflake "armor", it directly transforms into the good brother-Samoyed of the Three Idiots on the Sled.
If it weren't for Oreo's still delicate dog face, in this weather, with Somo's eyesight, it would be difficult to spot where Oreo is as long as it is twenty or thirty meters away.
Seeing that Maeda Taketo was not in a hurry and seemed to be waiting for something, Somo was not in a hurry at all and walked slowly behind.
The distance between the deep sea shelter and the underground shelter is three and a half kilometers, which is seven miles.
Following the two of them, Somo walked for a full hour before reaching a location less than one kilometer away from the shelter.
Seeing Maeda Kento sitting down with the tall man, Somo did not hesitate and sat down as well.
There is no strong sunlight, and Somo has an absolute home field advantage in the long windy and snowy days.
Concentrating his thoughts and looking at the ample food in the storage space, Sumo was not only not in a hurry, but even looked at the size of the footprints on the ground leisurely.
The kobold's footprints were obvious in the snow. Somo tried to trace them, and they were about the size of his palm.
As for human footprints, they look much larger. The smallest ones are over 40 yards long.
"Unfortunately, with the combat power of humans, if we were careful in encounters and kept the distance within ten steps, these kobolds would have no way of threatening humans"
"Let's not talk about the power of kobold warlocks, just talk about these warriors. It is not a problem for an adult human to fight two!"
The skinny legs and petite soles of kobolds, according to the characteristics of living creatures, , the explosive power is far inferior to that of humans.
The wide soles of human feet bring grip, thick thigh muscles, extremely explosive calf muscles, plus the rotation of bones to transmit power.
If we really want to fight, without using weapons, the kobold warriors will be beaten to pieces as soon as they come face to face with them.
As for the strength of the upper body, it goes without saying that the maximum weight of a kobold is fifty kilograms. No one with a little courage will be afraid of such a weight.
"It's a pity that for such a garbage creature, there are still people who continue to work as lackeys and rapists for no reason."
Shaking his head regretfully, Sumo's eyes were full of emotion.
In any era, there will be no shortage of magical creatures like the "Leading Party".
Including Marshall, the overseer, and even the kobolds, these three groups are still kept in the dark by Taketo Maeda, and they play the role of beating up the workers.
After a round of investigation, Oreo came back vigilantly and lay down next to Somo.
Seeing Oreo's cute look, Sumo subconsciously raised his hand, and when he was about to touch it, there was a sudden explosion in the distance:
Boom!
Boom! One after another, two muffled sounds appeared.
Although the sound was not as terrifying as when the thirty kilograms of fortified picric acid bombs were detonated before, it was still terrifying enough in the quiet plains now.
Inspired by the loud noise, even the wind and snow seemed to have stopped for a few seconds.
Looking from a distance, the wind has picked up thick smoke after another in the sky above the underground shelter, moving towards the distance.
Before Somo could make any move, there seemed to be faint shouts of killing and explosions coming from near the shelter!
Subconsciously, Sumo nervously opened the properties panel of the shelter and looked at it intently.
On the durability panel.
The value of the underground shelter did not disappoint, it still maintained a strong
95%!
“Damn, you scared me, I really thought these people blew up the underground shelter!”
Ninety-five percent of the green, at this time is It was so gratifying that Sumo, who had been nervous, let out a long breath and relaxed.
Since these people cannot open the underground shelter, there is only one ending for them.
After picking up the binoculars and seeing the tall man Maeda Taketo standing up quickly and rushing out, Somo immediately patted the snow on his butt and followed.
......
The rumbling sound was like a signal bomb, exploding in the sky above the underground shelter!
Groups after groups of people heard the news, and before everyone in Marshall could check whether the explosion had blown away the weak point, they suddenly discovered it!
On the original snow, eight humans suddenly appeared.
These eight people were no strangers to him. They were the overseers who had worked together in the saltpeter camp before.
"How brave, Chao Gai, do you want to die? You dare to even challenge me, Marshall!"
The smoke is filled, gunpowder is not the same as explosive, there is no detonation wave, only deflagration, No one could see clearly what the pothole looked like.
Marshall thought he had opened a gap, and Chao Gai also thought that Marshall had opened a gap.
Without too many words, the two groups directly fought together without saying a word!
Following the snow, Marshall, holding a steel knife in his hand, rolled nimbly on the ground and dodged the crossbow shot from the side.
This roll not only made Marshall safe, but also quickly approached the man holding the crossbow.
With a fierce flash in his eyes, Marshall pointed the steel knife at the crossbow-wielding man without hesitation, thrusting one blow at a time.
In an instant, the sharp steel knife caused blood to fall all over the sky, and by the way, the only deterrent self-made crossbow fell to the ground.
On the other side, Chao Gai and others are not idlers.
When Marshall looked around, except for the big head who was still holding on, the other four members of the five-person group he led had been chopped into pieces and lay on the ground thrashing.
The choking gunpowder smoke continued. As more incompletely burned gunpowder burned for a second time, more smoke was released, completely covering the entire area.
The large hole dug in the ground by Marshall's people was smoking. At first glance, it looked a bit like a hole in the shelter had been blown open.
"Big Head, I'm here to save you, hold on!"
Marshall yelled strangely, his words were extremely loyal, but the movements of his hands did not slow down at all.
Picking up the crossbow, Marshall continued to shout, but ran away without looking back.
There is no nostalgia for the "brother" behind him who is still being hacked by several people.
"Marshall! You are not good."
Da Tou saw this scene and his eyes were splitting.
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he saw Marshall running happily, and half of his body was blown up by a fireball flying from an unknown direction.
The pungent smell of blood spreads, combined with the burnt smell, making anyone who smells it almost feel nauseous!
Even the seven Chao Gai people who were leading the attack quickly looked around on guard.
In their sight, eight warlock kobolds and ten warrior kobolds walked out majesticly.
All the warlock kobolds raised their staffs, their eyes full of disdain and contempt.
Even the warrior kobold has a touch of frivolity in his eyes at this time!
Counting the big head among the seven who was not completely dead, the ratio was 18 to 8. This numerical difference was enough to make the kobolds rampage.
The encirclement is getting tighter and tighter, and an invisible pressure is pressing on the heads of the seven people in the center.
The seven people kept shrinking in, until their backs were touching the backs of others, they hurriedly discovered that there was no way to go!
"What to do, Brother Chao, fight or not, or do you want to do anything to these beasts!"
The end of the road has been reached and the end of the road has been reached.
The seven of them are not fools, and they naturally know that the kobolds are also coveted for the "Soma" treasure in the pit!
In this battle, only one of the two sides can survive!
