Chapter 275: Armbands that resist the "instant death" effect, doubts
Fear comes from the unknown.
When something beyond one's understanding appears before one's eyes, this invisible fear will be completely magnified.
After Tang Zheng easily ignored the magic cast by all the demons with his own strength, Queen Nasurini gave up resisting.
The Demonic Tribe of 1,500 people was controlled by Tang Zheng. Although the number of people was small, the strength of the Demonic Tribe as a whole was far greater than that of the Blue Maggot Tribe and the Penders Tribe.
The total number of the three tribes has reached 8,500, and the entire southernmost area of Abelion Hill is under Tang Zheng's control.
A temporary castle room was built on the hill.
The wooden table is made of two chopped down trees, and it feels very rough and is covered with tiny burrs.
Tang Zheng was standing at the edge of the table, looking intently at a hide map made of some unknown beast skin, which had an ancient and old feel.
This is a map of the Abelion Hills, contributed by the Demon Man, which shows the approximate locations of various tribes in the hilly area.
As expected, they are one of the top tribes in the hilly area. The two blue maggot tribes, who hide deep in the cave and rarely communicate with the outside world, cannot produce a map like this one.
"If I remember correctly, after Future Demiurge quickly took control of the hilly region, he assembled an army of 100,000 demihumans to attack the Holy Kingdom."
Tang was staring at the map, his eyes flickering with thought. "Given Demiurge's personality, these demihumans are just a group of tools. They won't care about manpower and emotional issues."
"According to this calculation, the total number of all demihumans in the entire Abelion Hills should not exceed 150,000."
If we divide all the demi-humans in the entire hilly area into two categories, one category is the ones who are bloodthirsty by nature and treat humans as food. In the terms of the game, they are a race of demi-humans with a relatively evil "justice value".
The other type may not necessarily have a good impression of humans, but they also have a certain moral standard, such as the Blue Maggot Clan, the Pandes Clan, and the Demon Clan currently under his control.
Ordinary ogres are a relatively evil race, but fortunately they have low IQs, so they are best used as tools.
Tang Zheng picked up the burnt branch in his hand and used the charred charcoal below to draw a mark on the tribes of several sub-human races that were bloodthirsty by nature.
"Then we will focus on these bloodthirsty subhuman races as the subhuman tribes that really need to be cleaned up."
Tang Zheng raised the burnt black wood branch in his hand, "We need to weaken the strength of the demi-humans in the hilly areas, but we cannot completely deprive them of their strength."
“It’s really hard to grasp this degree.”
As Tang Zheng raised his hand, the cuffs of the red robe slid down, revealing a bronze arm guard that fit snugly around his wrist.
The bronze armband has black silk thread inlaid on it, and if you look closely, you can notice a faint glow.
This armband is exactly the magic item carried by the Demon Queen Nasurini, and its name is "Death Guardian Armband".
Although the level is not high, it has the ability to grant the wearer complete resistance to damage from "instant death effect" once a day.
This resistance can even resist the instant death effect caused by the super-level magic "Dark Fruitful Sacrifice".
Not to mention the eighth-level magic "Death" and the ninth-level magic "Heart Mastery" that Bone King is best at using, these two magics cause "instant death" damage.
certainly.
It is useless against the Bone King's trump card "Death Clock", which comes with instant death. The only way to counter this trump card is to use rebirth magic or possess resurrection items.
No matter what.
Before this, Tang Zheng had no means to counter the "instant death" type of effect skills, but now he finally has it.
In this way, even if he faces a desperate situation in the future, he will still have a certain degree of confidence. He has not forgotten that the weapon that the opponent often holds is the artifact of the god of death, "Charon's Guidance", one of the six gods.
This weapon has the eighth rank "Death" built into it.
Dang-dang-
There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in." Tang Zheng said without raising his head.
The lizardman Kuruxue, still wrapped in straw, walked in respectfully from outside the door, his long white tail dragging on the ground with the tip of the tail slightly raised, seeming a little nervous.
"Sir." The lizardman Kulu crossed his snow-white claws on his chest and spoke respectfully to Tang Zheng in the room.
"Have you mastered "cloud operation"? " Tang Zheng asked without raising his head.
"No, nothing."
The tip of the lizardman Kuruxue's tail curled up a little higher, and his voice became more nervous.
Tang Zheng took his eyes off the map and looked up at the other party: "What's that?"
Lizardman Kuruxue took a deep breath and said, "Sir, the ogres and goblins sent to the border of the Holy Kingdom for the second time have been killed, and the gold ore they carried has also been taken away by humans."
After saying this.
The lizardman Kuruxue lowered her head wrapped in straw, as if she was afraid that Tang Zheng would get angry. She didn't understand why the adults did this.
But subconsciously, I felt that this kind of thing would make Tang Zheng angry.
However unexpectedly.
A chuckle came, and the lizardman Kuruxue was stunned. The human adult didn't seem to be angry.
"Then send another batch of ogres and goblins." Tang Zheng said.
"Yes, sir." The lizardman Kuruxue responded quickly and respectfully.
"Wait a moment."
A faint smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face behind his black mask, and he continued to speak calmly:
"Don't bring gold ore this time. Bring a basket of herbs instead. If you still kill the monster, exchange it for monster fur, agate, gemstones, cave crystals, etc."
"Things like these are of little use to subhumans, but there is no shortage of them in the hilly areas."
"Yes, sir." The lizardman Kuruxue bowed deeply and carefully left the room.
"It's only January now, there's no rush." Tang Zheng looked back at the map and muttered to himself: "Experience, career..."
The border of the Holy Kingdom.
Central Fortress.
A room with slightly dark gray tones, brick walls on all four sides, and windows fully open to let in cool breeze.
Several figures were standing around a round table, all of them were captains of the Central Fortress soldiers. In addition to these, there were two other men sitting beside the round table.
One is strong and muscular, with thick eyebrows and unkempt beard, which makes him look rugged and wild. However, his pair of small eyes break the heroic feeling on his face, adding a touch of funny and incongruous feeling.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The most noticeable thing is that he carries eight single-edged swords on his body. A simple shake of his body would cause the friction between the blades and make a collision sound.
Another man sitting.
His body was equally strong, but much thinner than the other one, as if he had removed excess muscle and made his body extremely agile.
The pointed and sharp black eyes made people tremble at the mere sight of them. It was a pair of extremely terrifying gazes, and behind him was an exquisite and expensive magic bow and arrow.
The air in the room was somewhat quiet.
The fact that there were only two people sitting in the room and the rest were standing was enough to show that the two men had extremely high status.
That's true.
These two men were exactly two of the Nine Colors in the Holy Kingdom. The one with the eight swords was Olrand Campano, and the one carrying the bow and arrows was Pavel Baraja.
The so-called "Nine Colors" is a title bestowed by the Holy King on nine colors. Those who are bestowed with the "Nine Colors" are all talents in various fields in the Holy Kingdom.
These two people are also the two with the highest status in the entire central fortress.
now.
Everyone's eyes were on the three pieces of gold ore the size of a human head placed on the table.
Several standing soldier captains tried hard not to look at the gold ore on the table, but their eyes still couldn't help but glance over there.
A brief silence.
"Something's wrong." Pavel, who was carrying a bow and arrow, spoke first. His dark eyes stared at the gold ore on the table. There was no greed in his eyes, only confusion.
Not long ago, Pabel heard about a team that accidentally obtained gold ore. At that time, he sighed and said that these guys were lucky.
Now! The ogres actually sent gold ore again, and this time the gold ore was not only bigger, but also in greater quantity, with gold ore as big as three human heads.
Judging from its density, if it were refined, Pavel couldn't be sure how much it would be worth, but he knew it would be at least several hundred gold coins.
Is this normal?
Of course it's not normal! The demihumans that had attacked the city walls and fortresses were either the remnants of the demihumans who were defeated or expelled from the hilly areas. They were few in number and posed little threat, so it couldn't be considered an attack at all.
Or it could be an attack by a real large-scale sub-human force.
Regardless of which method was used, there had never been a situation where gold ore was brought to attack the city wall fortress. At least, in Pavel's memory, it had never happened.
No…it’s happened twice now.
“Isn’t that normal?”
“I don’t think so.” Olrand, who was wearing heavy leather armor, said with a relaxed smile, “Don’t be so nervous, Pavel. There’s nothing wrong with something that comes to your doorstep for free.”
"Anyway, we should just kill these demihumans no matter what."
Pavel glanced at Olrand helplessly. He felt that it was not a wise decision to discuss this with him. However, he agreed with what he said: "That is indeed the case."
There have only been two such incidents so far, which can indeed be described as accidents. After all, the situation of sub-humans in the Abelion Hills has been complicated throughout the ages, and anything that happens is not surprising.
This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. However, if I report it to my superiors, it will seem like I am making a big deal out of nothing.
Pavel was still somewhat puzzled, but he was unable to come up with any useful clues.
The most fundamental reason for holding this small meeting is that the value of these three pieces of gold ores is too high, which is completely different from the first situation.
If it were entirely handed over to the team that deals with the corpses, it would probably... definitely cause dissatisfaction among other teams.
"What's going on now?" Pavel thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the captains standing there.
"Sir, I have tried my best to block the news, but I am afraid it has spread now." One of the captains walked down with an embarrassed smile on his face and spoke in a low voice.
"Yeah."
Pavel sighed softly, knowing that he could not blame the other party for this. After all, many people saw it at the time, and even if he wanted to block the news, it was too late.
“In that case, let’s discuss the distribution plan.” Pavel turned serious and spoke to Olrand.
