Chapter 211 Lightning Staff
By investigating the ogre camp, Richard found some body parts and pieces of meat.
Ogres are large humanoid creatures that are inherently evil. It is a branch of goblin-like creatures in a broad sense, and is related to bugbears, kobolds, etc.
But compared to kobolds, ogres are very powerful and difficult to deal with. They are lazy and ferocious. They are social creatures and have strong adaptability to the external natural environment. They can survive on various lands, waters, and underground caves.
Ogres are omnivorous and can be vegetarian or carnivorous, but their favorite food is always human meat.
Even if the ogre does not awaken his bloodline, his natural strength will exceed ten points, which is better than that of second-level professionals.
If he becomes a professional, the strength of a fourth-level ogre will reach twenty points, making him even more difficult to deal with than a sixth-level warrior.
Ogres are naturally powerful warriors. Even orcs are the food that ogres hunt.
There are occasionally a small number of magicians in the ogre tribe.
Ogre magicians are even more intelligent than ordinary humans. They can obtain part of their knowledge by devouring the brains of intelligent creatures.
In the Plane of Dawn, ogres are as notorious as necromancers.
After investigating the intelligence, Richard found Sanders and asked straight to the point: "Bishop Sanders, the Church of Dawn is very well-informed. Can you tell me whether the great nobles of the Grant Kingdom have signed a contract with the legendary ogre?" contract?"
Sanders said without hesitation: "Viscount Richard, the Kingdom of Grant is a human kingdom granted by the Holy Glory Empire. It is the guardian force of order and will never sign a contract with the legendary ogre. However, Duke Edward, the same as the legendary ogre, The humans and demons have some tacit understanding. Duke Edward will let the ogre tribe capture some people, and the ogre tribe will not cooperate with the orcs to attack Duke Edward's territory, leaving Duke Edward in a two-front battle. "
After hearing what Sanders said, Richard relaxed a little. As long as the Grant Kingdom did not sign a contract with the legendary ogre, Richard would have reason to take action.
Richard summoned the backbone of the investigation team together and said with a solemn face: "Now there is an ogre tribe in the territory. This ogre tribe is not big or small. If it eats people every day, it will eat at least a thousand people every year. .
As the lord of this land, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the people.
But there is a strong backer behind the ogre. My opinion is to be polite first and then fight, and see if we can expel the ogre through negotiation. "
After detecting the information, Richard immediately mobilized his troops and mobilized the Fort William Cavalry Brigade, the First Brigade, the Third Battalion of the Depot, the Guard Squadron, and the Reconnaissance Squadron to the nearby area. About 2,400 soldiers were gathered.
The mobilization of a large-scale army was very noisy, and the ogres soon noticed the abnormality.
Upon discovering the mobilization of troops, the ogre magician was very decisive and immediately decided to launch a surprise attack on Richard to avoid being surrounded by human soldiers and falling into a passive situation.
Ogres are powerful warriors and might become overlords of the Dawn Plane if their fertility rate were not so low.
Although there are only fifty ogres including young and old, this force is not easy to deal with.
There are five or six ogres whose bloodline has advanced to the intermediate level. The most powerful ogre leader has exceeded the seventh level, and his power is far beyond that of the ninth level warriors.
The ogre leader wielded a thick iron rod. This iron rod seemed to weigh about two hundred kilograms. In other words, only an ogre with infinite strength can wield such a heavy weapon on the battlefield.
Even a high-level warrior like William wouldn't be able to withstand this kind of iron rod.
There were no advanced melee fighters in the investigation team. When he saw the ogre rushing towards him brandishing a thick weapon, Richard decided to immediately release the powerful spider web technique.
A spider web appeared in front of the ogre leader and entangled the ogre leader in an instant.
As soon as Richard released the Spider Web Technique, Sophia released a Wooden Vine Winding Technique at the ogre clan leader.
At the same time, Thoros loosened his bow string, aimed at the chest of the ogre leader, and shot an arrow.
The ogre leader's strength was so great that he suddenly tore apart the cobwebs and broke the vines, but the two powerful magics did not trap him.
On the contrary, the arrow shot by Thoros pierced the chest of the ogre leader fiercely. The heart of the ogre leader was pierced by the arrow and blood spurted out.
In an instant, the ogre leader made a very surprising move. He pulled out the bloody arrow from his chest and threw it at Thoros with all his strength.
Just when the ogre leader was seriously injured, the two-headed ogre magician immediately released a spell to treat serious injuries.
Under the influence of the healing technique, the wound was actually stopped.
The wound stopped bleeding, and the ogre leader's speed became faster and faster. He had already covered a distance of more than 200 meters in seven or eight seconds.
With a whoosh, the troll's huge iron rod passed by his ears, and the sound of the wind made his ears hurt.
If Richard hadn't reacted quickly, his head would have turned into a rotten watermelon when he was hit with a stick by the ogre leader.
Although Richard has fifteen points of strength, it is far from enough compared to the ogre leader. If the weapons collide, they will immediately be crushed.
After dodging the blow, Richard dodged sideways and hid beside the ogre leader.
The ogre leader hated Thoros for hurting him, and immediately swung the iron rod and smashed it down at Thoros.
Although Thoros has advanced to a sixth-level warrior, his strength cannot compete with the ogre leader. Seeing the iron rod coming down, he immediately ducked to the side.
Although the iron rod was heavy, the ogre chieftain used it with ease.
The iron rod turned into a sweeping blow while it was being chopped down.
Seeing the iron rod sweeping towards him, Thoros was so flustered that he had no time to dodge and could only barely block it with the enchanted longsword.
As a result, Thoros was hit by the rod and rolled more than ten meters away. He was immediately injured and blood flowed from his mouth.
Richard dodged the ogre chieftain's attack and immediately raised his longsword to stab the ogre chieftain's head while the ogre chieftain was injuring Thoros.
The ogre chieftain's head was very large and looked particularly ugly. A foul smell came out of his mouth. The strong irritating smell made Richard cry.
The enchanted longsword pierced the ogre chieftain's skin fiercely.
The ogre's skin was very rough and thick, with many wrinkles. The skin of this evil creature, like the fur of Warcraft, can be made into enchanted armor.
The enchanted long sword fiercely pierced into the neck and shin of the ogre chieftain, making a dull sound like a sharp knife piercing through animal skin. In an instant, a stream of smelly blood sprayed on Richard and poured all over his head.
This sword was a fatal wound and achieved immediate results.
Seeing that the ogre chieftain was about to die, the two-headed ogre magician once again released a spell to treat serious injuries.
The blood was stopped instantly, and the ogre chieftain's vitality immediately recovered a lot. He picked up a huge fist and smashed Richard's head fiercely.
】
Seeing Richard and the ogre chieftain in close combat, Sofia and Wendy were very worried.
However, only Richard and Soros had strong close combat capabilities in the territory. If they did not stand in the front, the magicians would be chased around by the ogre chieftain.
Without magicians to control the battlefield, the hundreds of people in the guard squadron and the investigation team might not be able to withstand it.
The encirclement was not formed, and the ogre could easily break out.
Seeing Richard in danger, he immediately released a six-ring magic protective force field to protect Richard.
Wendy found that Richard was no longer in danger, and immediately released the second-ring magic of crazy laughter.
A strong laugh came, and the ogre leader couldn't help but bend down. He began to cough madly, trying to resist the laugh. Tears came out of his face, but he couldn't stop laughing.
The necromancer Heath also participated in this battle and seized the opportunity to use the blindness spell on the ogre leader.
After being hit by several spells in a row, various negative states appeared on the ogre leader.
Finding that the ogre leader was in a bad situation, the two-headed ogre magician immediately used a four-ring magic to clear the negative state and rescued the ogre leader from various negative states.
Before the ogre leader recovered his vision, Richard had already released the lightning spell on the ogre leader.
A strong electric current hit the head of the ogre leader.
The lightning spell is a powerful lethal magic with great power.
The electric current burned the ogre leader's skin and made it smelly. It also blinded the ogre's eyes, nose, and mouth. Even the ogre's brain was burned into a paste by this magic.
The ogre magician was about to release the healing magic, but found that the ogre leader had died on the spot.
To save him, he needed to release the seven-ring magic resurrection spell.
But Richard didn't give him a chance and immediately used the enchanted long sword to chop off the ogre's head.
Richard endured the stench and quickly put the ogre's head in a cloth bag and threw it to a soldier for safekeeping to prevent the ogre leader from resurrecting.
After killing the ogre leader, Richard took the time to glance at Thoros and found that Thoros had been carried off the battlefield by the soldiers. Wendy also released the healing spell for his uncle to stop the internal bleeding.
After killing the ogre leader, the power of other ogres was not that terrible. The third-level warrior wearing brute force armor could barely withstand the attack of most ogres.
Without the powerful arrow of the ogre chief, the remaining ogres, although many, could not break through the defense of the investigation team and the guard squadron for a while.
As the encirclement was formed, the ogres were besieged by the soldiers of Harland's territory.
The number was getting smaller and smaller, and they were soon all killed. Even the ogre magician also died at the hands of Wendy.
Looking at the battlefield full of corpses, Richard was not happy in his heart. He was just about to talk to the ogres.
After all, ogres are intelligent creatures. If the negotiation is successful, Richard does not want to provoke the legendary ogre. Richard would be satisfied if he could drive the ogres away from Harland's territory.
As for the ogres harming other areas, Richard could do nothing to help.
Unfortunately, he never expected that the ogres would be so impulsive and violent. Before Richard could communicate, the ogres attacked.
As a result, the ogre tribe was completely wiped out by Richard, and the ogre chief and ogre magician were all killed.
Since things have turned out like this, Richard can only take things one step at a time.
"Strip the ogre's skin, dig out the brain, and then burn the body to prevent the body from stinking and breeding plague."
The ogre's skin can be used to make enchanted armor, and the brain can be used to prepare special potions.
The brains of more than forty ogres can be sold for eight thousand gold coins. For Richard, eight thousand gold coins in cash is also an important income.
After cleaning up the battlefield, they actually seized the magic wand and magic book of the two-headed ogre magician.
The magic book in the ogre's hand recorded more than twenty spells, mainly divination, treatment, and protection.
There are several of them that the Harland Territory Magic Association has not collected, including the six-ring prophecy spell True Knowledge and the seven-ring magic Banishment. The magic book also comes with a set of meditation methods.
This meditation method is called Meditation No. 4, which is a meditation method created by ancient wizards specifically for ogres. It is simpler and more brutal than the meditation method practiced by magicians.
Richard took a quick look and found that it might be very painful for humans to practice this meditation method, and some people could not persist.
However, getting this meditation method will undoubtedly broaden Richard's thinking.
Now that inspiration has appeared in his mind again, Richard immediately took out the magic notebook and wrote down the inspiration in his mind.
When he has time in the future, he can think more deeply and improve the Book of Fire he created.
In addition to the magic book, the ogre magician also has a magic wand in his hand.
This magic wand is as thick as an arm, and the whole body is translucent crystal, and there is a magical luster flashing from time to time.
Sophia had been to the Magic Kingdom of Markholm and had more experience. After her identification, this magic wand was a very rare magic crystal.
Sophia tried various magics and found that this crystal was a lightning magic crystal.
Holding this magic wand in hand, releasing lightning spells can save 30% of magic power, but the power can be increased by about 50%.
Fortunately, the ogre magician does not know lightning magic, lightning magic, chain lightning, electric shock, lightning light, lightning fire and other lightning magic, otherwise it will be very difficult to deal with this magic wand.
In terms of value alone, this lightning crystal magic wand is of great value.
Without considering the additional effects of this natural magic wand, the price of the lightning magic crystal exceeds 30,000 gold coins.
Such a huge piece of lightning magic crystal is enough to make more than ten pieces of magic equipment with lightning attributes.
Richard gently weighed the weight of the lightning wand and found that the magic wand was about 50 to 60 kilograms.
Only people like Richard who practice both magic and martial arts are suitable to use this natural staff. Magicians with weaker physical strength like Sophia and Wendy can't lift this thing at all.
Among the magicians in the Dawn Plane, magic equipment is very rare.
There are three intermediate magicians in the Harland Territory. Sophia has three magic equipment. Richard accidentally got the Starlight Bottle and Starlight Necklace. Wendy doesn't even have a magic equipment.
After all, the number of magicians in the Grant Kingdom is too small. There are only more than 600 formal magicians in the country, scattered over a land of more than one million square kilometers, and there is not even a small-scale magic item trading market.
Many magicians trade with each other, relying on acquaintances and barter. In such an environment, it is naturally difficult to develop good magic equipment manufacturing technology.
