The Great Demon King

Chapter 99 "The little skeleton that is worshipped"

“old brother Calvin, has the village been found by forest trolls?” Han Shuo's face turned serious as he turned towards Calvin, asking him in a serious tone.

“Han, why did you suddenly ask such a question? There have been several encounters with forest trolls recently in the last few days, but even we don't know if they found anything, “Calvin first started and then explained.

According to the field of vision coverage of the original demon, Han Shuo discovered that the number of forest trolls present currently numbered around five or six hundred this time. There were forest trolls, warriors, hunters, and priests. They all advanced regularly, and coordinated with each other in a very reasonable manner. This suggests that this collection of forest trolls should certainly come from a powerful faction. Five to six hundred forest trolls grouped with the right number of troll and priest hunters would produce considerable power.

There were only 50 or 60 dwarves strong enough to participate in the battle in this village. Coupled with Han Shuo and some elves, their strength was completely below the standard forest troll ‘. This made Han Shuo understand that it was really difficult to overcome the current danger.

“Five to six hundred forest trolls are heading in this direction. Looks like your village is completely exposed. ”Han Shuo let out a low sigh and slowly revealed the truth.

Benedict listened to Han Shuo's words in disbelief, but Calvin's group of dwarves immediately panicked upon hearing that five to six hundred forest trolls were heading their way. They are confused as to what to do and propose a wild plan.

“What to do, what should we do?” The iron hammer waved in Bennett's hand as she glanced at the women and children behind her, looking extremely worried and resigned.

The dwarves are not a race of cowards and fear of danger, but they cannot be held accountable to their women and children. When danger comes, their first thought is how to protect the women and children.

“Chief Calvin, I know that your village is hidden within a mountain valley. Is there any other way to leave the valley? No matter how suitable the valley is as a residence, I think we need to evacuate as soon as possible. We will be hard pressed to fight against five to six hundred forest trolls, “Han Shuo tried to persuade.

Calvin's brows were tightly intertwined as he looked quite anxious. After thinking for a while, he spoke to Bennett first. “Go gather all the villagers and have them pack their belongings and prepare to leave from the back side of the mountain valley. We'll stay behind and see if we can bring retribution to these criminals. ”

Bennett immediately left on Calvin's orders, exclaiming continuously towards the small houses behind the village, urging all the villagers to take rations and weapons, he said, and temporarily leave all the others behind.

At this moment, the two dwarves, who had been standing guard outside, finally rushed in in in panic, they started shouting loudly before arriving at the place where the head stood, “Bad news! Bad news! Many forest trolls headed towards us. They're everywhere in the bush! ”

Benedict was a bit hesitant, but no longer doubted Han Shuo's words now. The group of fairies, with Benedict as their leader, all unsheathed their weapons and wiped them with calm expressions. Benedict held a bow behind his back in his hand, looking ready for battle at any moment.

“Troll Forest is our natural rival fairy. I want them to feel our strength this time, “Benedict shows no signs of fear and speaks excitedly.

By this time, Bennett had already finished giving the dwarves behind him their orders. Using the real devil. Han Shuo discovered that the forest troll was indeed heading towards the mouth of the village. He looked back unknowingly at the surrounding dwarves and said to them, “I think we should block the narrow path that leads to the village at this moment, he said, and strive to buy time for the women and children to go first.”

Han Shuo nodded at Calvin as he said these words and took a few steps forward into the mouth of the village. Benedict hesitated and showed his intentions to the elves, and followed behind Han Shuo, towards the entrance to the village.

As of now, Han Shuo could basically make sure that these forest trolls were aiming for the dwarves. Otherwise, they would not have appeared here due to such a coincidence. Five hundred or so forest trolls had already started searching through the nearby bushes under the cries of the extremely burly forest trolls, looking for the entrance to the dwarf village.

According to how the situation developed, the shrubs and leaves covering the entrance of the village would not be able to hide it any longer. Han Shuo did not become panicked after arriving here and chanting some magic spells. Several skeletal warriors and two huge zombie warriors appeared in front of him.

“We should take this time to make some simple traps. The entrance to the village will definitely be found, but it is not wide enough here, so we can take advantage of this to create trouble for them, he said, “ said Han Shuo calmly as these dark creatures appeared.

The skeletal warriors and zombies immediately began to dig a trap under Han Shuo's orders. The zombie warrior had a strong body and was tasked with moving rocks long distances to block the path. The dwarves had set up some traps here to begin with, Han Shuo had only added a few more steps. The dwarves also mobilized themselves to help Han Shuo organize.

“Necromancy magic is the most disgusting magic, to think that you, human, are the evil necromancy expert!” Benedict seemed to hate the appearance of skeletal warriors and zombies as he complained.

Han Shuo was completely unmoved by Benedict's grievances and only concerned himself with setting traps. When Han Shuo felt that everything was ready enough, he took out a few bows from the space ring and distributed them to the surrounding dwarves. He then directed them to retreat backwards and disperse themselves in the growth of strong trees and shrubs.

The dwarves were experts at forging weapons, but an elaborate bow did not require great crafting skills, but rather required proper design and thought. The range of fire and the power of automatic arrows is very high, and is one of the most remarkable inventions created by humans in recent years. Their weakness is that they are too heavy and the frequency of firing is not that fast. Each arrow takes a bit of time to reload after firing, unlike how bows and arrows, which can be quickly reloaded.

As Han Shuo and the dwarves stood up to defend themselves, a loud forest troll shout came from the distance. The forest trolls then immediately cheered and quickly approached with loud screams. Through the eyes of the original demon, Han Shuo knew that one of the forest trolls had found a hidden entrance.

Indeed, the leader of the new forest trolls gave orders in the language of the forest trolls as over a hundred forest trolls came attacking with weapons in hand. The troll warriors were in the front row, with the hunters and priests following behind, as they carefully and slowly tried to sweep the cover.

Han Shuo roared low and did not wait for the forest troll to walk through the entrance. The arrow in his hand had already been shot out, and the dwarf beside him also sent an arrow bolt whistling in the air.

Some forest trolls, who had just entered this area and had no time to peel the cover, were sent flying by the immense momentum behind the arrow bolts. One of the forest trolls, which Han Shuo had struck, was pierced by his arrow bolts and nailed to a tree that was two people wide.

“Look at the power of my magic arrow.” Benedict looked at Han Shuo with disdain and suddenly pulled his bowstring. A faint magical pulse came from the bow in his hand and the arrow suddenly started to fiercely burn in the air after it was fired. When it landed in the middle of the forest troll, it suddenly exploded ferociously with sparks. Ten or more forest trolls were attacked by spark damage from the sparks and started to burn, Three of them did not extinguish the fire in time and were swallowed by the spreading flames.

Han Shuo was completely shocked, he did not expect the arrow to have such power and subconsciously looked at Benedict.

“Benedict, you must not waste such a precious magic arrow on this cursed forest troll. You know that these magic arrows are precious! ”A somewhat angry female elf saw Benedict showing off and lecturing her.

Benedict stuck out his tongue and made a face as the female elf lectured him and then spoke honestly to Han Shuo, “Did you see that just now? The magic arrows that have been inspired by the magic of our elders possess such powerful strength after being shot with magic bows. If those dwarf-made weapons were modified by us, they would soon turn into powerful magical weapons and bring a lot of trouble to the forest trolls. You have to give us that weapon. ”

It seemed like the elf had still not forgotten his duty, even now, and was still trying to use his naive and ludicrous words to persuade Han Shuo. It was a pity that other than glancing at him at first, Han Shuo did not notice him anymore and only calmly gave some orders to the surrounding dwarves.

After the first batch of forest trolls paid a lot of casualties, they were much more cautious the second time around. First they approach the troll warriors, and then the priests add blessings to them, making their bodies more nimble and strong. The enhanced forest troll immediately shoveled the weeds at the entrance with great enthusiasm.

At this moment, the crossbow in Han Shuo's hands and the dwarves were continuously darting across the tall grass, but each time their cross marks appeared, it was the same, the long spears of the troll hunters would sweep through the air, also falling on Han Shuo and the dwarves.

But since the crossbow had a longer firing range, this caused the distance assessment of the forest trolls to be imprecise. The long spears fell in line in front of the group, without causing any damage to them.

After paying the price of the lives of a few more troll warriors, the forest trolls finally pushed aside the obstacles to the village entrance. With another loud shout, the forest trolls raised their weapons and charged out with large strides.

Traps installed at the village entrance began to show its deadly nature. The forest trolls in front all fell into a deep hole with sharp sticks at the bottom, and they lay there groaning in pain. The entrance to the village was finally overcome, but not without ever-increasing forests, casualties and fatalities.

“There are too many forest trolls, I think we should retreat.” Han Shuo looked at the entrance of the village filled with forest trolls and understood that the difference between the two was too great. He shook his head and sighed.

Benedict also showed his current fear and nodded in agreement with Han Shuo's words. “Yes, I think we should back off first and wait for me to return to the tribe to warn our people. When our people arrive, these damned criminals will pay a painful price. ”

When Han Shuo and Benedict said so, the ten or so dwarves around them looked a little sad as they all laid down their weapons. One of them said, “The tribal chief said that we should listen to Han. If Han wants us to retreat then we will retreat. ”

Han Shuo smiled faintly when he heard his words, “Because this is the case, then all of you should return, otherwise we will be in big trouble.”

The dwarves, who had been determined to fight to the death, all retreated to the back of the village according to Han Shuo's orders. The bow in their hands kept shooting. In the face of the dense forest troll, the arrow bolts would all hit their targets, without needing to be pointed.

Upon seeing that the dwarf had already retreated, a few dwarves also stood wisely behind. Han Shuo thought for a moment and summoned the small skeleton. He wanted to use the seven bone spurs on the back of that small skeleton to shed the last blood wave and create some trouble for the forest trolls.

However, it was beyond Han Shuo's expectation, when a small skeletal boned dagger appeared at the village entrance, he did not even have time to fire his bone spurs when the forest of trolls at the very front all showed an extremely excited expression. They laid down their weapons with thumps and bowed to small skeletons with their hands held high, exclaiming continuously, “Datara, Datara, Datara ..”

Han Shuo was flabbergasted and stunned where he stood. He did not know why the forest troll worshipped the small skeleton faithfully.
