Chapter 371 Chaos Chain Hammer

"Mr. Colonel, which four conditions are you referring to?" Joan asked curiously.

"First of all, Alpha must have a tyrannical personal strength and a cunning mind that far exceeds that of his peers."

"But these two things alone are not enough. If you want to climb to the throne of the chief who leads many battle groups, you must also have noble blood and the grace of the 'God of Gnolls' Yeenoghu. The leader of the regiment is willing to surrender to him."

"As we all know, the wolf man is the creation of the demon lord Yeenogu. The "noble blood" in the eyes of the wolf man refers to the purgatory blood originating from Yeenogu."

"Gnolls with purgatory blood are stronger and crueler than others of their kind, and they also possess a variety of supernatural powers derived from their evil blood."

"As an external manifestation of its evil bloodline, the purgatory gnoll's body surface is covered with conspicuous crimson spots, like countless coagulated blood scabs."

"When a gnoll tribe loses their leader, the purgatory gnoll nobles in the tribe who are eligible to compete for the leader's throne will kill each other until the last survivor is left to prove that he is more qualified to inherit the 'Alpha' than others of his kind. 'The name."

"After that, the winner will gather his clansmen to hold a bloody and grand sacrifice to please the 'God of Gnolls', pray for Yeenogu's grace and crown him."

"When the sacrificial ceremony is successfully completed, the new Alpha will receive the divine favor from Yeenoghu as he wishes, and will obtain an extremely powerful weapon 'Chaos Chain Hammer' after the previous Alpha - this is the proof of Yeenoghu's grace, and it is also the The last condition necessary for a new Alpha."

"Chaos Chain Hammer..." Dick looked confused, "Is this weapon scary?"

"Scary beyond your expectations."

Colonel Harrison suppressed his smile.

"The Chaos Chain Hammer looks like a heavy flail with three hammer heads attached. The three pitch-black steel hammer heads are covered with sharp thorns and emit a strong red light, as if soaked in blood..."

"This chain hammer was poured with magic power by Yeenoghu himself, reflecting the moody, violent and violent nature of the 'God of Gnolls'. When each hammer head hits the enemy, it will cause the opponent to suffer severe pain, paralyze and even go crazy. torture."

"However, the enchanting effects of these three hammer heads are always changing. Even Alpha himself, who holds the chain hammer, can't tell which hammer head corresponds to which effect, and this extreme disorder is exactly The embodiment of the will of the Abyss 'Chaos'."

Joan listened silently to Colonel Harrison's description of the "Chaos Chain Hammer", compared with the prisoner's confession, coupled with his own understanding of the enchanting process, he could probably guess the unique shape and enchanting characteristics of the "Chaos Chain Hammer".

This weapon is actually three sets of flails combined on one handle.

Among them, the flails that can cause "crazy" are mostly enchanted with the 4th ring "Confusion".

The flail that causes "pain", probably enchanted with the 5th ring "Symbol of Pain".

The last flail that caused "paralysis"... probably was enchanted with the 5th level "Monster Hold"?

As for why the enchanting characteristics of the three hammerheads would switch randomly, Joan didn't know.

With his current level of enchantment, he still can't produce such a perverted effect. Besides, he feels that such messing around is simply asking for trouble, but it adds unnecessary trouble to the holder of the chain hammer—this hammer smashes down , I don't know what will happen...

Joan is a person who prefers order and dislikes uncertainty.

He couldn't figure out why Yeenogu would give his favored gnoll a weapon full of randomness.

Perhaps, mortal minds will never be able to comprehend the nature of chaos, let alone those perverted evil gods living in the "bottomless abyss" at the source of chaos.

...

On August 27, the troops rested for a day, and continued to advance southward along the river bank in the early morning of the next day.

The trip for the next two days was relatively quiet, until the morning of August 30th, when the scouts found traces of the Gnoll again.

Colonel Harrison received the intelligence report from the front, and immediately sent his servants to find Joan, asking him to turn into a hawk to track the jackal from the air, and to transmit back key information such as the number of enemies and their exact location with magic as soon as possible.

Joan obeyed the entrustment of the old colonel, cast the 2nd ring "transformation technique" and turned into a Jotunheim eagle soaring into the sky, followed the footprints found by the scouts at low altitude, and soon found himself at a distance of about 5 miles from the main force. In a canyon, a gang of wolf men were found camping and resting.

After these days of actual combat experience, Qiao An has accumulated a lot of battlefield reconnaissance experience.

Looking down from a high altitude, the canyon where the Wolf Man lives is rugged and narrow, dark and rocky, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The scene in front of him made Joan suspect that the wolf man had discovered his troops and planned to ambush here, so he blessed himself with "invisibility", leaned down and rushed into the canyon between the two cliffs, and approached for investigation Gnoll camp.

Joan flew through the winding canyon in a thrilling manner, avoiding the cliffs while observing the ground conditions, and flew back and forth three times. Fortunately, there was a strong wind in the canyon, and the howling wind covered the airflow brought by the Eagleman's low-altitude flight and did not cause the jackals Human alertness.

After a careful investigation, Joan flapped his wings and flew back to the sky, using the 2-ring "Wind Information" to report what he saw to Colonel Harrison.

The total number of Gnolls in the canyon is about a hundred, and there are almost the same number of hyenas, which happens to be a "battle group".

In addition, Joan also emphasized that the terrain in the canyon is not conducive to cavalry combat. If there is a conflict with the wolf man here, his troops will inevitably fall into a passive position.

After Joan sent the information, he hovered over the canyon, his eyes frequently moving between the gnoll camp and the camp of his own troops, waiting for Colonel Harrison's instructions.

The waiting time seemed to be extremely slow. Just when Joan got impatient and was about to turn around and fly back to ask Colonel Harrison for instructions, a red light suddenly appeared in the distant forest, and it exploded in the air, forming a ball The bright ball of light gradually dimmed after a long time.

Joan immediately recognized that it was a signal arrow, and the red light corresponded to a previously agreed battle plan.

Qiao An's long-hanging heart fell to the ground, and he retracted his wings and landed on the top of the steep mountain, waiting quietly.

After about half an hour, hurried footsteps came from behind, and Joan looked back, and it was indeed a group of Asa hunters climbing up from the gentle slope on the side of the canyon.

These Asa boys who are accustomed to climbing mountains and ridges are dressed in light tight leather armor, and their faces and clothes are painted with yellow and green stripes of oil paint, almost blending with the bushes growing on the slope.

If it weren't for Joan's sharp eyesight after transforming into an eagle man, it would be difficult to distinguish this group of vigorous hunters.

"Brother Magni, how many people did you bring?" Joan went up to him and asked in a low voice.
