The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 030: Strong Physique
On the hillside bathed in moonlight.
A group of short and strong shadows came towards them menacingly.
Half of them were armed with crossbows, while the rest were armed with sharp hand axes and round shields.
These gray dwarves on night patrol seem to be in high spirits.
Their eyeballs were rolling around and their ears were twitching from time to time, as if they were keeping an eye on all directions and listening in all directions.
Roger hid in the darkness and watched the gray dwarf patrol leave.
Compared to last night, things have indeed changed.
First of all, the number of people.
Last night, the gray dwarves were organized into groups of six, but today they were organized into groups of eleven.
No! Actually, it's twelve.
It was not until the patrol team went far away that Roger noticed the gray dwarf following them stealthily.
Does he appear to be sneaking?
Although his movements were a little clumsy, there was no doubt that he was a member of the patrol team and was following orders seriously.
"Is this to prevent a large-scale enemy attack, where not a single person would be left alive?"
That's what Roger guessed.
Secondly, the weapons equipped by the gray dwarves are also different.
Perhaps the tragic plight of those sentries yesterday made them no longer superstitious about crossbows.
At least half of the gray dwarves used a combination of hand axes and small round shields tonight.
With such flexible and rapid adjustments, it is hard to imagine that this is an army composed of monsters with low intelligence.
Roger began to feel a little curious about the head coach of the gray dwarves.
However, the reason why he didn't take action was not because of these changes, but because the location was wrong.
This is too close to his cave.
If we start the operation near the cave, it will be fine in one or two days.
Over time, accidents are likely to happen.
After letting this group of gray dwarves go, Roger walked another two kilometers to the east and ran into the second patrol team.
Like the previous team, this patrol team also has an "11+1" personnel configuration.
The air-gazing technique first locked onto the lone gray dwarf.
Roger completed the assassination with ease.
Then he grabbed Ziying, followed her a few steps forward, estimated the distance, and decisively drew his bow and shot the arrow!
call out!
A white-feathered piercing arrow tore through the back of the neck of the last gray dwarf in the patrol.
The rest of the gray dwarves took action upon hearing the news.
But before they could see the direction of the enemy clearly, another sharp arrow came flying through the air!
The second arrow took the life of another gray dwarf.
At this point, they finally saw Roger's position.
The gray dwarf holding a short crossbow cursed angrily, took aim, and pulled the trigger.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Six crossbow arrows were shot out rapidly.
But Roger remained indifferent. He still stood where he was, aiming at the gray dwarves who did not have round shields.
Take the arrow and string the bow!
Draw the bow and shoot the arrow!
His movements were smooth and fluent, and two more arrows took the lives of two gray dwarves.
But those crossbow arrows couldn't hurt him at all——
The distance between the two sides was too far, beyond the range of the short crossbow!
The remaining two gray dwarves holding short crossbows swore angrily.
Unfortunately, Roger didn't understand.
He was already very satisfied after using Ziying's range advantage to kill four gray dwarves in seconds.
Seeing those shield-wielding gray dwarves rushing over, Roger ran without hesitation!
This running made the gray dwarves so angry .
Their legs are short and they can’t keep up!
"Tiyunzong" plus "Tayueerxing", anyone who uses it will know it!
In a short while, Roger disappeared.
Instead, the gray dwarves were exhausted and panting.
Unable to catch Roger's shadow, several gray dwarves bumped into each other and started pushing each other roughly.
However, at this moment, two arrows were suddenly shot out from the reeds next to them!
In this way, Roger pulled and shot, and wiped out a 12-man gray dwarf patrol easily and efficiently.
"Sure enough, low intelligence is a fatal flaw."
Roger was very satisfied with his hunting performance.
He used the Qi-gazing technique to take a quick look.
Tonight, Yellowstone Island is filled with these gray dwarf patrols.
They seem to be conducting a massive cleanup of Yellowstone Island.
On Lettuce Avenue alone, Roger found seven human corpses.
Their bodies were forked and placed in the middle of Lettuce Avenue like road signs.
Some of them were dressed as refugees.
It seems that the word "ally" may not exist in the gray dwarf dictionary.
…
Take advantage of the environment and use the pull of the Tiyunzong.
Roger wiped out six gray dwarf patrols overnight.
During the following day, Roger was woken up several times by the passing gray dwarves while he was sleeping.
They looked very angry and seemed to want to dig deep into the ground to find Roger.
Their numbers have also increased to an unimaginable number.
Several times, they almost found the entrance to the cave.
The closest time was when Roger, who was still half asleep, was ready to activate the mechanism at the entrance of the cave.
But in the end, he was luckier and the gray dwarves failed to discover his shelter.
The next night, Roger, who hadn't woken up during the day, chose to attack with a heavy punch.
He killed nine gray dwarf patrols in one go.
The reason why I couldn't kill more was that I ran out of "White Feather Piercing Arrows".
After this night, the gray dwarves changed their strategy and began to retreat.
This made Roger puzzled, but at the same time he was finally able to have a good sleep during the day.
…
At dusk on the third day, Roger woke up as expected.
He was not surprised by the changes in the gray dwarves. Last night he had seen the outlines of several camps from afar.
At that time, densely packed gray dwarves were working hard on the construction.
They are planning to set up a formal camp on Yellowstone Island!
If it comes to a protracted war, Roger is not afraid at all.
But this cave will be discovered sooner or later, and then he will no longer have such a comfortable sleeping environment.
Before setting off, he took inventory of his equipment.
Including the batch of arrowheads confiscated last night, he only had more than 30 white-feather piercing arrows in his hand.
The chief of the gray dwarves was keenly aware that the crossbow was ineffective against Roger, and more and more gray dwarves chose the combination of shield and axe.
This greatly limits the effect of Ziying.
Roger decided to try Ziying for another night.
If you are sure that this method of killing by blocking the range is not working, then try another method -
The best hunters are the ones who constantly update their hunting methods.
The gray dwarf commander is certainly very smart.
But if he continued to be led by Roger, he would probably never be able to touch Roger's clothes in his entire life.
"Um?"
"It seems that the number of gray dwarves required is much less than that of the Exploding Frogs."
When checking his own data, Roger suddenly discovered that the progress bar below the sin mark had reached 2%!
He pulled out the battle records he had missed last night and discovered that he had gained a new ability.
…
"You killed 1 Marsh Gray Dwarf, and have killed 200 Marsh Gray Dwarves in total."
"You gained 10 XP"
"Your 'Toughness' is slightly increased."
"Your 'Toughness' accumulates to 10 %, and you gain 'Tenacious Physique'"
"Strong physique: Your resistance to disease, plague, and poison increases by 10%;
Your tolerance to hunger, thirst, and pain increases by 20%;
Your resistance to knockback, collision, and pulling increases by 10%."
…
“A very comprehensive ability.”
10% toughness value can have such an effect, which makes Roger very satisfied.
Judging from the current data, perhaps ten thousand gray dwarves can maximize the toughness value.
Compared with the 160,000 explosive frogs, it is nothing.
Of course, the fighting power of the gray dwarves is not comparable to that of the magic explosive frog.
…
After counting the equipment, confirm its status.
Roger jumped out of the cave with familiarity and started his hunting for the night.
But after walking for a long time, he didn't even see a patrol of gray dwarves.
"Have they already started?"
Roger realized something was wrong and started heading towards Longya Village.
It is still half a mile away from Longya Village.
He saw the flames rising into the sky and heard the tragic cries.
…
