The Rise of the Cemetery

As a mercenary team that has lived in the Feralas mountains for 7 years, the Lynx mercenary team is very familiar with the terrain here, otherwise they would not have been specially selected by Siris to be Jack's mage's helper in training.

For this young mage who came out of Isidil Arcane Tower, members of the Bobcat Mercenary Team had a good impression of him. Compared with other formal mages, mage Jack is undoubtedly more gentle and humble, and he is not so domineering when communicating with his companions.

To be honest, they have experienced this kind of work hired by mages to complete certain tasks in the past few years, but it is rare to have such a harmonious scene. Those middle- and low-level mages whose eyes are above the top are simply another copy of the stupid noble lord, but they are more arrogant and domineering than them. In many cases, even arbitrarily using gold coins and mage authority to force the hired team to carry out some almost deadly expeditions.

However, these past bad impressions were completely reversed in Master Jack.

The Lynx mercenary team knew very well about the identity of Master Jack.

He is the direct disciple of the number one powerful mage in Oneiros City, and such an identity and status are far beyond their reach. As Mage Jack's first time out to practice, Siris also attached great importance to it.

During this trip, Mage Jack only took a few special items needed for the mission. All other loot belonged to the Bobcat Mercenary Team. 30% off most supplies.

Such favorable conditions are usually hard to find with a lantern, so when Siris approached Captain Tren as the head of the Arcane Tower, he agreed without hesitation.

The heavy snow that had been falling for two days finally stopped, which undoubtedly increased the chances of winning for the upcoming hunting, so the atmosphere of the team became more and more high.

"Mage Jack, how are you? Are you physically strong enough?" The team temporarily stayed in a leeward place to wait for news, and a female ranger with a more lively personality hopped up to Jack's side.

"It's okay. But it's really cold here!" Jack lifted the windshield that covered his nose and mouth, showing his smiling face. A gust of white hot air spewed out from the nose, forming two thick white dragons. Although he was also wearing a heavy fur coat, the cold air was still pouring into the neckline and cuffs, a feeling he had never felt before.

Lanxie who came over was the younger sister of Captain Teren. She was only 16 years old this year, but she was already a head taller than Jack. Although Lan Qian's appearance is not outstanding, but because of practicing martial arts, her body is as elegant as an antelope and full of agility and youthfulness, which is also very attractive to men.

After all, Jack is only 13 years old this year, and he is usually polite when picking up and sending off like an adult, but once he encounters such an enthusiastic and unscrupulous "wild girl", he can't help but reveal his shyness and youthfulness. Not only did she never dare to touch the other party's big black eyes when speaking, she even stuttered when speaking, which made Lanxie giggle even more.

Everyone smiled.

Such scenes have appeared countless times along the way, so everyone has a better understanding of the temperament of the young Master Jack. A young boy pretending to be a solemn mage, and his gentle and shy personality makes it difficult to feel malicious towards him.

It can be seen that he has the utmost respect for his mentor, because many of his behavior patterns are simply imitating his mentor. Some guys who claimed to have seen Li Xun's high-ranking mage said so.

Soon, John Sr., a 57-year-old ranger who went out to investigate, returned excitedly with good news.

There were traces of ice trolls ahead.

Surprised, really surprised.

After all, this place is only the periphery of the ice troll's circle of activities. It usually takes a little luck to see ice trolls here, but now it seems that their luck is undoubtedly very good.

So the team assembled again, and under the leadership of Old John, they crossed an empty ice field and found these ice trolls on the edge of a forest.

Total of 4 ice trolls, one adult male, two adult females, and one small one.

Ice trolls, a collateral branch of troll-like creatures, have skin colors between white and blue. The sharp mouth, fangs, red proboscis and slender pointed ears may make them look a little funny, but the adult ice troll is 3 meters tall, has a powerful body, and a brutal and cold temperament, but it can make all the positive Those who encounter them are intimidated.

They are omnivores. From the rhizomes of plant fruits to insects, snakes and rats, as long as they can eat, they will eat them all. Even humans are in their diet.

The Lynx mercenary team came just in time.

When they slowly entered the battlefield from the downwind under the leadership of the ranger Old John, a family of ice trolls in the forest in front of them was obviously hunting, and their hunting target was the most rampant species on the mainland— — Goblins.

As a special race left over from ancient times, goblins once overthrew the elven empire that ruled the entire plane side by side with humans, and created their own special civilization—the goblin empire. These guys, who look short and weak like dwarfs in appearance, possess enviable talents in engineering and alchemy. During the heyday of the Goblin Empire, goblin airships, goblin stores, goblin steam trains, and goblin logging machines once traveled across the entire Klein Continent.

The goblins in the business field are cunning and greedy, making them the most famous merchant race in Klein. In the battle against the Elven Empire that just passed, the goblins produced a large number of combat machines.

The battle mech made by the siege craftsman Hesuo is a typical representative. The Goblin Crusher, which exudes a pungent fuel smell and strong noise, is a good helper for goblins to collect wood. The sharp saw blade can cut down a thick tree in an instant, and can also cut the enemy in half in an instant. Once upon a time, this group of short-sighted guys who were only interested in money became mercenaries. They brought their own "rumbling" to intervene in the human civil war, and they were extremely popular in Klein.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After the elf empire was overthrown, human beings raised the butcher's knife to this former comrade-in-arms in the follow-up battle for land.

For a time, more than 90% of the goblins in Klein Continent were slaughtered by humans, and the rest fled to some wild and remote places to survive. With the collapse of the chain of civilization, goblins, a once highly civilized race, also fell. Relying on super reproductive ability and a good stomach that eats everything, goblins survived in the gaps of human society, and degenerated into a half-beast that could only rely on instinct and be driven by desire.

On these goblins scattered in the wild mountains, jungles and hills, you can no longer see the slightest trace of civilized and intelligent creatures, but only a group of ugly figures like big mice.

Their appearance resembles a group of large mice that can walk upright, with green skin, sharp mouth and big ears, wearing simple and dirty leather armor, holding a large sword shaped like an iron bar and a wooden shield with gaps, gathered together, Screaming and playing "games" with ice trolls.

Yes, it's a game!

An adult ice troll is more than 3 meters tall, while a normal goblin is only a little over 1 meter. Standing together, the two stand together, which is simply the difference in size between a burly man among humans and a five or six-year-old child.

The gap in shape, the gap in strength, coupled with the unequal physical fitness, made this confrontation funny and ridiculous.

4 ice trolls slaughtered more than 160 goblins.

So this kind of battle scene appeared again and again: a group of goblins gathered, bravely screamed and rushed up, trying to use the dilapidated "iron bars" and "wooden sticks" in their hands. A wound was poked on the ice troll's indigo-blue hard skin, but only the sword broke and the stick broke.

And the attacking goblin turned into a pile of torn meat paste under the howling wind of the ice troll's huge stone axe.

Most of the time, the overly excited ice trolls would lift their washbasin-like soles and kick them up, step on them, and raise their stone axes from time to time, opening their mouths wide to catch the goblins dripping from above. blood and flesh. The surface of the ax polished by rough rock is colorful, and it is hard to tell what is sticky on it.

The death of the companion made the goblins run away screaming in terror. Just now they rushed up in a swarm, and now they are running away in a swarm. After regrouping in the distance, under the loud curses of a certain hobgoblin, they forgot the lesson just now, raised their weapons and rushed up again...

This goes on and on, until the basic quantity that can make them forget their fear can no longer be gathered, and this suicide attack will stop.

So, it's time for them to run away with their heads in their arms.

Of the goblin tribe with more than 160 people, maybe only thirty or forty could escape from the battlefield, but there is no need for outsiders to worry about it. Maybe when next summer comes, this remaining tribe will become a small tribe with hundreds of people again. Of course, the premise is that they must find enough "food" to eat.

This family of ice trolls who went out to hunt was obviously collecting "food" while also cultivating their cubs. Throughout the battle, a female ice troll stayed by the little troll's side, teaching him how to use a crude stone ax to knock open the heads of goblins, crush their bellies, crush their limbs, and turn them into toys. The same thing is grasped in the hand and played wantonly.

Although the little troll is still underage, he is nearly 2 meters tall, and he is not stingy with the existence of a giant in front of the goblin. Even without the company of the mother, these small "big mice" can be easily killed.

The whole battle process was too relaxed and comfortable, and the ice troll didn't have the chance to show off his talent for ice spells.

Seeing that the goblins really started to flee, the other two ice trolls, a male and a female, raised their heads to the sky and let out a creepy roar, and began to disperse to catch live goblins. There is already enough "food" today, and I am afraid that some "slaves" will be needed to help transport it all back.

So, taking advantage of the dispersal of the ice troll family, the Lynx mercenary team finally got a glimpse of the opportunity and rushed out from their hiding place.

The battle begins immediately!
