The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 126: Unexpected Disaster
Fifteen minutes later.
The intersection of Wind Chaser Trail.
The frogmen were lying dead all over the place.
This battle was much more difficult than Roger had expected.
There are only 16 frogmen.
The two sides fought hard.
If Roger hadn't appeared out of nowhere from time to time and killed them one by one with his sword, the tough guys might not have been able to defeat these frogmen!
Even so.
After this wave of team battle, 6 of the horn-like demons were injured - 5 were slightly injured and 1 was seriously injured!
The combat effectiveness of Sloan frogmen.
So terrifying!
…
afterwards.
While Roger was searching for spoils, he was reflecting on the team battle that had just taken place.
What he had been worrying about for a long time happened:
Gradually, the horned demons could no longer keep up with his needs.
Their average level is around level 33.
A tall body and devilish bloodline.
It can indeed help them gain the upper hand against ordinary monsters.
But except for Woodpecker who evolved into an elite template, the rest are ordinary characters.
Even though Roger used the Stone Contract to renew it for them in time.
In the face of increasingly powerful monsters.
They began to resist the pressure.
Sloane Frogmen range from level 36 to 40.
These guys are not tall and their weapons are simple, but don't underestimate these smooth-skinned short guys.
Roger discovered during the battle.
Their muscle density is very high, and their jumping and running speeds are amazing. Their attack methods are quite similar to Master Black Tiger's philosophy.
If the harpoon weapon hadn't been so weak, the losses of the horned demons would have been even more serious.
The most important thing.
They are meaty.
That is to say, the health value is extremely high!
Take Roger, for example.
Without triggering the Ten-Year Sword and the frog-like natural enemies, even Chi Yue can't kill them all with one strike!
It would be even more difficult for others to harm them.
"This isn't the level of an ordinary template..."
Roger grabbed the body of a frogman, fumbled around in it, and performed a preliminary autopsy with a knife.
The autopsy results did not provide a clear answer.
But at this moment.
A sudden idea flashed through Roger's mind:
"Every time the Red Moon cut into their bodies, it seemed as if a layer of cherry red light flashed."
"Is that a magic shield or a divine shield?"
"Wait…why am I just realizing this now?"
Roger's expression was serious.
on the data bar.
…
"Sixth Sense:
You noticed something unusual about this group of Sloan frogmen.
When fighting, they have a 'divine shield' solidified on their bodies.
at the same time.
Someone is trying to block relevant information.
…
"Divine Shield" can absorb a large amount of damage of all types.
No wonder these frogmen look so fierce.
But this "blocked information" made Roger particularly alert.
This is a very powerful interference force!
If he didn't have extraordinary perception, he might have been deceived.
Ordinary people would see the divine shield but ignore it subconsciously.
"If he's not a high-level divine magician, then he must be some evil god."
Roger's expression grew more serious.
But he will not back down because of this.
To be exact.
When the attribute "True Vision" appears.
No one can save the Sloan frogman.
He just needed to collect more intelligence to perfect his hunting plan.
…
Clear the battlefield quickly.
Roger and his brothers officially entered the Wind-Chasing Trail.
This is an area made up of steep mountain roads that cross the remnants of the mountains.
The terrain here is treacherous and the paths are complicated.
Generally speaking, there are two main roads, east and south, both leading to the "Thunder Heights" hanging high above the sea.
After entering this area.
Roger didn't rush into it.
Instead, I observed it for a full week.
During this period.
Roger carefully checked the monsters on the two main roads and countless small roads.
Unfortunately.
There aren't many monsters in Wind Chaser Trail.
The main road to the east is occupied by the fierce Sloane frogmen.
There are also many frogman outposts on the nearby paths.
There are usually more than 20 frogmen in the outpost. These guys have overdeveloped muscles and their weapons have changed from harpoons to spears.
What's more troublesome is.
Among them there are elite templates with red halos under their feet!
See this scene.
Roger silently chose to retreat.
…
The road to the south was blocked by a group of arrogant harpies.
It was a steep cliff.
The cliffs are covered with banshee nests.
They are natural archers and magicians.
Anyone who tries to get close to the cliff will have to endure one or two rounds of arrow volleys and magic attacks.
The banshees are in a commanding position, enjoying an absolute advantage in vision.
Their level is about the same as frogmen.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy.
During the investigation, Roger did not try to find out the details of the banshee.
certainly.
The most important reason is.
He also found the "divine shield" on the harpies!
But the color is royal blue.
This means that behind the Harpy, there is also the support of high-level divine magicians or gods!
"Brothers suddenly have someone to protect them."
"Isn't this forcing me to make it more difficult?"
Roger couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.
At present.
Sloane frogmen and harpies occupy most of the territory in Windward Pass.
This greatly compressed the living environment of the remaining monsters.
Roger's hope of improving the attributes of these two monsters was basically shattered.
It just so happens that these two types of monsters are typical social creatures.
The kind that pulls out the radish and brings out the mud.
If you are not careful, the horn-like demons will be wiped out in a matter of minutes.
Roger had to be extra careful.
But during this week.
He discovered that there were several small-scale conflicts between the two monsters.
This could be a breakthrough!
…
Wind trail.
In the familiar underground camp.
Carefully complete the hunting plan to the last detail.
Roger let out a long breath.
He had thought of many ways.
For example, sowing discord——
Induce Sloane Frogmen and Harpies into a large-scale war.
You can make a profit from it.
But he quickly rejected this plan.
First of all, his observations over the past few days made him realize that these two kinds of monsters simply could not fight together!
Each side has its own combat terrain and areas of expertise.
One is in the sky and the other is underground, and no one dares to rashly enter the other's territory.
The so-called small-scale conflicts were just for fun.
The two sides fought back and forth fiercely.
When the troops were called back, no one was injured.
Only Roger, a spectator, was silently sad.
…
And according to current intelligence.
We can basically rule out the option of "there are high-level divine magicians among the monster group."
That means there are temples in the settlements of frogmen and banshees.
And it is a temple of considerable size.
Only in this case.
They can have an endless supply of divine shield.
Roger's thinking was clear.
Frogs without divine shields are good brothers.
So tonight.
He plans to visit the frogmen's base camp!
…
at night.
Under the cliffs of Wind Chaser Trail.
The frogmen are patrolling diligently.
And it's just out of their sight.
Roger, wearing only his Invisibility Cloak, is moving forward at full speed!
Take advantage of the ladder to climb up.
He ran against the wind between the steep rocky cliffs.
That feeling is still a bit cold.
After a while.
He sneaked into the base camp of the frogman settlement alone!
It was a settlement built on a dangerous terrain similar to the "Line of Sky".
But after going deeper into it.
There's something else going on inside.
What’s strange is that.
There are not many frogmen in the settlement .
Roger pulled at the invisibility cloak.
I adjusted my posture to make myself more comfortable.
Then he cleverly avoided the guards' sight.
Guided by the sixth sense and the ultimate hunter.
He successfully found the deeply hidden temple!
…
To Roger's surprise.
This temple looked ordinary, not as grand and majestic as he had imagined.
Although there are frogmen guarding the outer perimeter of the temple.
But there was no sign of clergy among them.
Roger walked around the temple three times.
Carefully observe the surrounding and interior scenery.
…
"Hint: You have discovered the Temple of the God of War"
…
"Sixth sense: This temple in front of you will not pose any threat to you."
…
"These days, what kind of idiot evil god dares to call himself the God of War?"
Roger almost laughed out loud.
This kind of priesthood is born to seek trouble.
Generally speaking, only those faceless evil god trainees who are trying to debut as the center will come up with such a copycat name.
The purpose is to deceive believers.
In addition to the title of "God of War".
Roger didn't gain any additional information.
The angle of view outside the temple was limited, and he couldn't even see the statue clearly.
Through the sixth sense.
He was basically certain that this temple with a strong mountain-style atmosphere posed no threat.
But just to be on the safe side.
Before entering.
Roger still gave himself a fortune telling.
…
"Divination result: If you rashly enter the temple, you may encounter unexpected disasters."
…
Roger was slightly stunned.
This was the first time he encountered "Perfect Sixth Sense" and "Qi Gauge" producing completely opposite results!
“Is it related to “blocking information”?”
Roger fell into deep thought.
In theory.
The sixth sense is more credible .
The results of divination by qigong may be blocked or misled artificially.
But combined with the various abnormalities of the Sloan frogman.
He also felt that it was not unacceptable that there was something strange about this temple.
While he was thinking.
An inexplicable warning emerged in his heart!
…
"Sixth sense: This temple in front of me may encounter a disaster."
…
Roger ran away without saying a word!
There is no need to look at the reminder in the data column.
In the blink of an eye, he saw a huge dimensional gate appear in the sky.
A scarred mechanical creature slid out from inside.
That's the Corvus starship!
And the location where the starship crashed.
It was that temple!
Boom!
The starship was deeply embedded in the rocks above the "Line of Sky", causing a massive rockfall in the canyon!
The frogmen's screams came one after another.
…
After a moment.
Roger stood at the entrance of the narrow gap in shock.
Looking at the half-broken starship above my head.
I couldn't help but mutter to myself:
"Is this the sudden disaster?"
“Isn’t this thing too big?”
He was just about to touch it and see what was inside the starship.
But in chaos.
Roger suddenly noticed that the "divine shields" on the frogmen had disappeared!
"Will that God of War be destroyed just like that?"
His eyes lit up.
It's a starship.
Or a frogman?
"Of course I want them all!"
Next second.
Roger decisively started the hunting mode!
…
