Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 369 Obsidian Big Stick

Caledo and his party stayed in Hesiota for a few days, during which time they made a rigorous investigation into the social situation, cultural customs, and military distribution of the Lizardmen.

In the end, they came to a conclusion. Except for the Spiritual Lizard, which had some small thoughts, the other two cold-blooded creatures that could be seen had almost zero intelligence.

Thoros can only understand simple orders issued by his superiors, and they are all military-related, such as military orders such as attack, charge, and cover, while the Skinks can only be responsible for life.

As for those monitor lizards named Corasigel, it can only be said that their IQ is really worrying. As the monitor lizard guards who guard the skinny priest grow older, they can still have some IQ. Ledo and his party remained hostile.

As for those monitor lizards that were mainly in charge of manual labor, basically as long as a group of people appeared in their field of vision, and without instructions from their fellow Spirit lizards, they would open their huge mouths full of fangs without hesitation, and charge forward waving stone pillars.

The emergence of this situation made Imrik realize something, and his thoughts on the lizardman also changed.

Originally thought that these monitor lizards should not have the tendency to attack after Master Ma, the leader, issued an order, but this order may be just a vague consciousness, which may not be understood in the monitor lizard's mind.

This shows that the giant lizard has self-awareness, but the level is too low, which makes it impossible to understand Slan's order, and only relies on the command of its friends to complete the action.

But this kind of spiritual network does exist. Slan can give orders to lizardmen, but it cannot change its nature. This is a kind of race with hive thinking. Change the nature of the setting.

Even Master Ma can't accurately instruct every lizardman to understand its meaning, and can't completely control each one. At the top of this hive thinking, there is a vacant place, that is the Old Sage.

Only the Old Ones can reverse the Lizardmen's will, and nature, and bring them into complete obedience.

In this way, the appearance of those Red Crested Skinks in Tehenhauin is somewhat interesting...

After all, from the mouth of the priest of the bar friend, almost every skink affected by Sotek will be more violent and bloodthirsty than before, and the lizardman is a killing machine made by the ancient saints, even if it is chaos, it is difficult to affect it .

Perhaps Sotek is one of the Old Sages, but the name is not proper, and there are significant differences from other Old Sages.

After the communication with Minasnier came to an end, Imrik looked out from this quaint but luxurious building with the appearance of a lizard, and saw that Davian was competing with an ancient blood warrior on the square.

The battle between the two sides was very fierce, and it looked like a never-ending battle. In the understanding of the lizard people, there were only two outcomes in the battle, one could die, or the enemy would die.

Although this kind of endless battle is not in line with the communication between the two forces that had just formed a preliminary covenant, it was actually instigated by Imrik intentionally. After all, if you want to sell equipment, you have to let the lizardmen have some ideas.

Davian in the square is using a halberd sent from the colony, and he is constantly fighting against the ancient blood warrior. At this moment, he understands some of the problems that the prince encountered at that time.

The perception of the lizardmen is a little slow, and the reaction nerves of the cold-blooded species make it difficult for them to quickly parry their own attacks, but strength and tenacity are indeed extremely rare.

The square covered with yellow stone bricks was full of traces of the two fighting. The ancient blood warrior used the bronze leather shield to stop Davian's halberd from swiping, and smashed the obsidian stick with all his might.

Once the elf turned sideways, he avoided the fierce attack of the ancient blood warrior. The bricks and stones dropped by the obsidian club immediately turned into flying fragments, and the half-meter-square ground was almost turned into powder.

Davian, who was hit by the gravel on the dragon armor, nodded secretly. He just wanted to try the power of the ancient blood warrior first. The elves are not good at strength, but as a reckless man like the prince, he will not be strong in strength. Less than half a point.

When the ancient blood warrior attacked again, Davian did not choose to dodge again, but hit the vulnerable part of the obsidian stick with his halberd.

As one of the most peculiar substances in nature, obsidian can not only be used as a weapon that can be extremely deadly through rough processing, but also contains a little magic power inside, and is a good conductor of magic wind.

But there are also disadvantages. While it is sharp enough, it lacks the ductility of metal, which means that every time it attacks a solid object, it will wear out some places, and the impact is irreversible.

The lizard people have not advanced civilization for thousands of years, resulting in a very backward smelting technology. The use of gold as an information carrier is not due to the preciousness of information, but because gold has a low melting point and is easy to shape, and it is not easy to be corroded in the humid environment of the rainforest. .

But like the strange technology of the lizardfolk, this material that most other races use to cast spells can often become deadly in the hands of skink artisans.

After all, in a fantasy world, a kind of rock is sharper than metal and quite tough, and one of the characteristics that lizardmen need most - easy to process, then it can be logically turned into an invincible killer in the hands of lizardmen. The enemy brings destruction.

The halberd gradually knocked down the spikes on the obsidian stick, and the bronze that fixed the stick began to deform. This made the ancient blood warrior become a little anxious. Years of fighting life told him that if the weapons are all damaged, then how can we talk about winning? .

Davian, on the other hand, is well aware of the thoughts of the ancient blood warrior. His physique is far superior to that of a mortal, his fighting instinct is like a beast, and his fighting style is not afraid of death. This is his impression of the Lizardman.

But these equipment made of gold, bronze, and obsidian are a bit worrying, completely wasting the talent of this war race.

This is a race with extremely different upper and lower limits of civilization. The most cutting-edge weapons can emit magic rays from the sky and become a mobile siege magic locator, while the most common weapons are nothing more than binding obsidian with wooden sticks to make A crude tool called a weapon.

In a blow, Davian exerted all his strength and slammed into the obsidian club of the ancient blood warrior.

As the core secret of Vaal's anvil, the halberd made of meteorite, under Davian's thoughtful operation, smashed the obsidian weapon carefully crafted by the skink craftsman and blessed by the skink priest.

The obsidian that turned into tiny fragments made a clanging sound of shattering glass, glowing brilliant white after being irradiated by the sun, and there was only a twisted long bronze stick left in the hands of the ancient blood warrior.

The ancient blood warrior whose weapon was shattered did not use his body to attack Davian, and he could still understand what the Skink Priest said.It's just to test whether the weapon works well, not to fight to the death in the true sense, although the ancient blood warrior doesn't mind killing the elf boy in front of him.

"Hot blood, weapons, war." The ancient blood warrior conveyed simple and incoherent words to Davian, and what greeted him was a halberd with only a little wear on the edge.

"We still have a lot of good things like this." Davian was quite tempting, using magic to imitate the vocal organs of the lizardman, and told what the prince had told him.
