Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 20
The bipedal dragon meat was very strong and chewy, but not hard to chew. It was a first-class meat of high quality. It felt amazing; it was complemented by Wrought Iron, the spices and dwarf spirits that he was proud of, and roasted right at the right level, so everyone ate with the oil flowing beside his mouth. Even after eating, a strong taste still lingered in their mouths.
Such a grill, if in a large and crowded city, could be sold for tens of gold coins. Not only does it have a good taste, but it also has a tonic effect on the body. If you eat these foods regularly, your body can become very strong without doing any special exercises.
Almost all the descendants of the important aristocracy were trained in this way.
“Lezat, delicious!” After swallowing a mouthful of barbecue, Gerrard could not help but praise.
“Wrought Iron cooking skills are getting better and better!” Old Soth nodded, praising, “This is one's best quality when he gets old in the future.”
Wrought Iron was almost fifty years old. He could be considered young and promising among his fellow dwarves, as he would probably live for a hundred years or so. Hearing the praises of Soth, the dwarf, who had been adventuring with him since thirty years ago, could not help but laugh, “I remember when we first met, I remember, I was roasting the wolf that I had just hunted. When you sneak in, I think you're trying to steal something. But I do not expect that you will say “I will swap my liquor for your barbecue” .. ”
“Yes, it has been 30 years since then, when I just ended my internship and always thought I would do big business, make a lot of money, and become famous.” Old Soth stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Now my son has grown up, and not long ago he complained to me that little Puck refuses to obediently study business at home, but want to explore the world like his grandfather .. ”
“Thirty years have passed, and we are all old.”
“’Do not use kata’ all ‘, because only Soth and I are old. As for Wrought Iron, you are still young, the half-bearded ”elf shook his head with a smile. “Soth's energy has gone down, and in a few years, I also don't have the energy to lead a caravan. By the time young people are about to take over, you as an uncle will probably be more helpful to them. ”
Wrought Iron suddenly frowned, “I can't do business! It's not a big deal if you ask me to lead them on an adventure, but direct them to do business? Isn't that a sure loss of money !? ”
“Don't worry, we don't mean to retire suddenly. Instead, at that time, we also intended to lead them for a longer time, ”Smiles kindly show on the wrinkled face of Soth. He said, “Dan .. I still want to visit the ancient elf temple before I die and chat with the immortal elder. ”
“I agree with this! The temple had good wine, and the old frog was also very good. “Forged Iron soon turns into energetic,” Let's drink wine there! ”
While speaking, Sui suddenly felt a mass of evil energy approaching from afar. He hurriedly told Gerrard, who stood up and found a group of orcs running towards them riding on a wolf.
“It was the Cavalry of Orcs and Wolves! Let's watch! ”
The Orc and Wolf cavalry were a notorious gang of bandits in the region of four towns in the northwest. These numerous and ferocious bandits came from an empty land in the North. Because they were so fierce, they carried out ruthless massacres wherever they went. The task of wiping them out had been hung in the reward columns in the four cities, but no one could finish it. More than once adventurers left in hopes of defeating them, but they never returned.
For various reasons, the four cities in the northwest have yet to form an army. This was probably because they hoped to prevent war. But this also made them unable to disperse large-scale and agile bandit gangs like the ones at hand.
Therefore, the Cavalry of Orcs and Wolves grew and even dared to attack the caravan that resided in the empty space, which was a suburb. They often succeed.
They came to attack the caravan once again.
Seeing dozens of green-skinned orcs running here riding on gray wolves, the businessmen all panicked. Those who were vigilant and resolute left the goods and ran towards the village to find a safe place with a shield without saying anything. They hoped that the gangs would leave after plundering quite a lot of stuff and they could survive; those who dared to pull out weapons and push the carriage to form a fence, they said, determined to fight desperately and rest with dignity even if they died; as for those who were the most clever, they ran straight towards “Gold Coin Lucky”, as for those who were the most intelligent, they ran straight towards Coins, expect to work with them to take on potential opportunities for survival.
The leaders of “Gold Coin Lucky” are veteran adventurers. Once they saw the bandits, they were instantly ready to fight. Old Soth rushed far away with incredible agility, and began to set traps. His speed was incredible, as he could complete traps while breathing two or three times, fully demonstrating his outstanding skill as a veteran thief. The bodyguards, unhurriedly, wore the full set of equipment neatly and prepared for battle by utilizing the carriages. Katai, who was just busy dealing with the barbecue, boarded the carriage. After a while, he wore heavy armor that resembled a buffer skin, and became a strong warrior with heavy armor. Half-elf filled the surrounding land with arrows in a short period of time, to shoot quickly. Even the clerks also took leather armor and weapons from the carriage,
“Whi ... brother White, where is the weapon ... our weapon?” Palin looked somewhat frightened, probably because it was the first time she was faced with such a scene. She held onto her ornamental crystal stick, nervously doing magic casting preparations, but she failed to calm down. Perhaps in hopes of looking confident, he approached the big man Gerrard and asked in a low voice.
Since becoming a giant after being reborn, Gerrard has never used any weapon. He buried the previously used tomahawk and the memories were in the ruins of the White Leaf village. He was without hands at the moment, even without any practical equipment.
Seeing the enemy approaching, he frowned. Looking around, his eyes suddenly shone. He quickly walked towards the tree about a foot wide.
“What ... do you .. do?” There was a businessman in the tree wearing his leather shirt, shivering. Seeing him suddenly approaching, he was shocked and stuttered.
Gerrard ignored him and looked at this tree from top to bottom.
The stems are straight, the wood is fine, and the leaves are lush; it fits.
So he leaned over, clung to the tree trunk with his hands, screamed, and pulled it in front of the nearby merchants, who were terrified. Sparks of the ground fell like raindrops, and some even fell right in the mouth of the man beside the tree who foolishly left his mouth open.
Weighing the weight of the tree with his hands and looking at the messy roots, Gerrard shook his head, somewhat dissatisfied.
So he placed his roots on the ground, violently stomped them under his feet, and slightly tidied them up with his thick palms. Then, the troublesome root was somewhat tidied up. Seeing this, he waved it again and sighed.
“It's a little light, and the center of gravity is not too good, but I'll do it.”
However, this scene shocked everyone. These entrepreneurs, as they have traveled widely, have seen many people with unusual powers, but no one has seen a man with this phenomenal power! Although there are rumors in folklore that the “giant was using a large tree as his wand”, when this scene actually appeared in front of them, he said, they could not help but feel suffocated and soft-legged, even though they knew that the giant was their friend. .
However, looking at such a powerful fellow, they were extremely encouraged for them to succeed. In that instant, the panicked businessmen all calmed down, and even those who wanted to hide all dashed out, picking up their weapons to fight side by side.
Orc and Wolf cavalry were indeed extremely powerful and extremely dangerous, but was it still more dangerous than a giant that could pull a tree and use it as a club?
It's very unlikely!
Gerrard, carrying his “big stick”, returned to the Lucky Gold Coin formation, stood in front of the team and boasted while facing the galloping bandits.
In his past adventure experience, there was more than one fight against the bandits. But he has never been as confident and fearless as he is today.
He was even quiet enough to turn his head and wave a tree taller than four or five, smiling and grinning at Palin, “Hey, you know, this is my weapon!”
“Truly an amazing weapon!” Dwarves, Wrought Iron, praises, “Looks like high it's convenient!”
“Actually, I prefer to use normal ones, such as hammer or axe,” explains Gerrard, “but I can't find one that matches my body!”
“The next city we will head to is Gold-panning City, which is rich in ore, and I will give you weapons.” Dwarf said, “Although my skill in making weapons is only average, making large axes will not be difficult for me. ”
“Thank you very much!” Gerrard laughed, “The payment ... uh, the payment is coming.”
As they spoke, the Orcs riding on wolves approached them. Apparently, they also noticed Gerrard, when they suddenly tightened the reins, hesitating to move forward.
It should be noted that not many people would be brave enough to risk being destroyed and killed when faced with a giant that was as high as the city walls and held an entire tree as its weapon.
This was true even for bandits.
Bandit leader “Bloody Hand” Ruhr, an orc, caught in conflict. He wore a leather armor that shone with a magic light, holding a sword that shone with a magic light as well.
He knew just how terrifying this gigantic force was, and under normal conditions, he would definitely lead his subordinates to take a detour that would not provoke this opponent; aside from the possible risks, he would definitely take a detour, they could not even afford the cost of killing this giant.
In order to kill such an opponent, he would have to be mentally prepared to lose half a gang of bandits.
Without a regiment of thieves, who is he in this wild savage place?
However, news from a reliable channel strengthened his confidence.
He stared at the bone bracelet on Gerrard's right wrist, which slightly shone with a magical light.
This treasure was far more precious than the entire regiment of thieves!
Legendary treasures were enough to make him famous in these four cities. Even if he returned to affluent areas, it was enough for him to settle down and enjoy a luxurious life.
In this case, he could end the historical mission “Cavalry of the Orcs and Wolves”!
Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind, wielded his sword, and issued an order to attack.
