Chapter 11 The Wrecked Dragon

If you look down at the vast plain under the dome from Saron's perspective at this moment, you can see that the originally peaceful river bank seemed to have received a silent order from some existence, and the slimes and kuo-toa were still working on the plain germ carpet.

They began to retreat toward the river bank in a synchronized and orderly manner.

Even though they were faced with the pressure of a large army, they did not make any panic moves. This undoubtedly caused the secretly observing forces, including Saron and others, to immediately raise their eyebrows at this force that had suddenly appeared and silently cultivated and developed on the river bank in recent years.

evaluate.

After all, brainless creatures like slimes will not show any anthropomorphic overreactions when they are not harmed. However, the kuo-toa are a typical species that bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Zha is so well-trained that it deserves attention.

If Levi knew what these good neighbors were thinking, he would probably laugh out of his newly replaced teeth. Where did the Kuo-Toa come from, and where did they come from being well-trained? It is obvious that weird creatures like slimes are born with a lack of...

root string.

At the same time, thousands of slimes mixed with scattered kuo-toa emerged from the river bank. Because the slimes were so dense, it was like a rising tide, flooding towards the patches of fungi on the river bank.

If this army composed of the lowest level monsters in the Underdark seems to have a somewhat bluffing momentum, then at this moment, the end of the wasteland seems to be covered by black clouds.

The 'army' led by the gnolls has been pouring out from the cave complex like a honeycomb maze to the west of the dome.

The largest number among them is the Underground Goblin, numbering as many as five to six thousand at a glance. These creatures are obviously different from their ground cousins ​​because they have lived in the dark areas for a long time and have been squeezed by various intelligent species all year round.

Most of them are short and thin, covering their shame

There was no cloth, so there was no defense at all, and the weapons were naturally not decent. Most of them were stone tools and bone knives that were polished by oneself. There were also some slingshots and arrows made from animal sinews, but due to the poor quality and rough materials

, five steps and the like may still retain some lethality.

Although there is no phalanx to speak of, it is still a bit shocking when these chaotic and extremely hungry goblin armies roll over the high slopes and stone pillars like a black tide.

And when they suddenly saw the endless edible fungi in front of them, they suddenly accelerated as if they were transforming into an army of ghouls.

Around the goblin army, hundreds of gnolls riding giant lizards were running wildly along the way. They should be considered one of the main forces and scouts of this monster army.

Although there are no uniform leather armors and weapons, they are basically equipped with long knives, stone hammers or iron flails. Once a lone Goblin is found trying to escape, or staying in place to eat mushrooms like crazy

, they will chop them to death without hesitation, and some will even pick up the corpse and eat it in public.

On the one hand, they are indeed hungry, and on the other hand, they can scare these green-skinned cubs who are not very obedient and seem to not care about their death rate.

Yes, they really don't care. If it were placed on the surface world, such an army of goblins would gather together, and if it encountered a remote town without high-level professionals, it would indeed cause serious losses or even massacre the city.

But this is a dark area where food is extremely scarce, and there are too many races that are good at spellcasting and psychic control. Any group charm or mind blast can defeat them.

Therefore, to a certain extent, these goblins driven to the front are not their army, but cannon fodder and military rations. Even if they are not all dead after the war, they will still be raised and slaughtered for food.

After all, goblins are everywhere in every corner of the material world. They can be said to be infested, comparable to Xiaoqiang. They eat almost anything, and like dragons, there is no reproductive isolation, so they always like to capture them to see what they can see.

All humanoid females found are used for reproduction, and the reproduction cycle is extremely short, which is one of the reasons why they are notorious throughout Coriel.

It is even said that there was an adventurer on the surface who was famous for hunting goblins and was written into the biography, and was used as a talking point by people with mixed reviews.

In the underground world, these goblins, who are like ratmen and myconids and can capture a large group of them at any time, are naturally not worth cherishing. Instead, they are regarded as mobile meat animals by many races and are not even qualified to be slaves!

Since it is consumed in the morning and evening, how can we bear these damn hungry ghosts wasting their precious food?

Behind this army of cannon fodder is the main force of the invasion of this dome:

A tribe of about twenty ogres, and a small combat legion of two to three hundred derro dwarves.

Ogres are a common species. Adult ogres are ten feet tall, and there is a lack of wood underground, so most of them carry cylindrical stalagmites as weapons. The thick skin on their dark brown bodies is covered with black warts.

, their hair is long, disheveled and greasy, and they are dressed in simply treated fur and leather, but they still cannot hide their naturally disgusting body odor.

This can be seen from the derro dwarves who are far away from them. Not many creatures are willing to be comrades with these monsters who want to take a bite of everything and especially eat Jingshen control spells, and beat friendly forces at every turn.

In comparison, derro dwarves are a unique species in the Underdark. Most of them have waxy hair hanging on their shoulders, matted with dirt, mustaches and short beards. Their eyes are gray-white and lifeless.

The pupils are almost indistinguishable. They are covered from head to toe in colorless skin, revealing blue veins and copper-colored arteries beneath the skin.

This translucent skin tissue lacks the ability to protect against sunlight. If it were thrown to the surface, the derro dwarves would die in less than a day of exposure on average, but it provides the derro dwarves with some spell resistance. This natural

There is no known reason for the resistance, it can only be related to the skin of the derro. This may be ironic: the ugly and cursed resistant skin is a permanent obstacle to their integration into other civilizations, but it is also their conquest of other creatures.

One of the few advantages of race.

No one knows when such a freak was born among the dwarves. The earliest hypothesis is that the derro are actually the direct descendants of the pairing of dwarves and hags. There are also theories that the derro are descendants of a cursed dwarf family, but

recognized by the most scholars

Yes, they are the product of a cross between dwarves and human blood. A certain myth passed down to the derro dwarves themselves tells the story of a mysterious human tribe that enslaved a dwarf clan a long time ago, and used the power of the abyss demon to breed with the captured clan women.

story.

It is precisely because of this that the derro are neither recognized nor accepted by the dwarves, nor can they integrate into humans. Also because of this, when facing dwarves and humans, they feel inferior due to envy and hate due to jealousy.

They are a miserable race, but no one shows mercy to them.

At this point, the monster alliance that suddenly arrived has completely appeared in the eyes of all the forces from the darkness, and it has also made most of the forces secretly beat the drum in their hearts, extinguishing any thoughts of fighting for this territory.

But what makes everyone strange is that the master behind the invasion of the river bank territory has not appeared for a long time. It can be imagined with the cerebellum that the jackal who is struggling to drive the goblins is incapable of integrating those.

Ogres and derro dwarves, or rather none of the three, have the ability to integrate the other two.

However, the gnoll leader seemed to have received the instructions from the master behind the scenes. Seeing that the group of slimes and kuo-toa people coming from the river bank were still a while away from coming, he used his whip to urge the giant lizards under him to bypass the army.

Before the battle, prepare to seize the opportunity to give an emotional pre-war mobilization speech to deepen the master's impression of you.

I saw him pulling out the long knife from his waist and pointing it at the messy goblins, "bastards, listen up! I'm going to be crazy today."

However, before he could call out his name, there was a shrill sound in the sky, as if something was approaching rapidly.

"More, more, Dora, run quickly!" The jackal next to him looked back, his eyes almost bulging out, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. In the face of life and death, he could no longer care about it.

The knife stabbed the monitor lizard in the butt, and the monitor lizard roared in pain and lunged forward.

This move also allowed him to escape.

Just as he left his original position, a rapidly growing shadow enveloped the place.

All the creatures seemed to see an extremely huge red figure, like a meteorite falling from the sky, directly hitting the head of the jackal leader who had not yet been able to call out his name.

There was a teeth-piercing muffled sound accompanied by a terrifying tremor. After smashing the unlucky gnoll leader into a puddle of meatloaf, the huge red figure dived into the Goblin who was less than ten feet away without losing strength.

The army was like a red-hot millstone grinding into a courtyard full of red fruits.

At that time, an unknown number of goblins and the jackal warlords who were mixed in were caught in this flesh and blood millstone falling from the sky before they had time to react. Amidst the continuous wailing, they turned into a piece of water that was more than 20 feet long, enough to reach seven or eight feet.

The head gnoll and the knight go hand in hand on the road of flesh and blood.

The originally lush carpet of bacteria has been replaced by broken bones, internal organs, and rivers of blood, like an overturned paint tray.

This horrific scene, like an abyss and purgatory, plunged the entire Dome Plain into an eerie silence.

"More, more, Doragon (dragon)" Doug, Dragon Cooker and Dachshund, who was also watching all this on the hillside, swallowed his tongue and said what the jackal wanted to say but didn't have time.

Spit out the truth.

a red dragon

A red dragon seemed to want to make a handsome appearance but slipped for some reason.
