"Uncle Clay, where did you hire these four stubborn guys? Do you really have the heart to drag them down with you?" Gavin couldn't help but sigh again. Such honest mercenaries are rare. It's a pity that they died here. "You just heard that they have already taken the money." Knowing that he was not immune, Clay naturally wouldn't be kind enough to tell Gavin about their true origins. Humph, even if he died, he would dig a pit for this arrogant guy. Did he really think that the rock was his backyard and he could do whatever he wanted? Sooner or later, he would have thick arms and legs that he couldn't chop off. The fleeting secret smile on Clay's face made Gavin alert. He couldn't help but take another look at the four heavily armed guards. Finally, he landed on the badge on their chests and couldn't help but take a breath. It was a fiery red crow flapping its wings. I almost got tricked by Clay. If I really killed the four heavily armed guards in front of me, I would get into big trouble - at least it would be very disadvantageous for my early development in the Rockland. There is only one mercenary group near the Rockland that uses this badge - the Red Crow Mercenary Group. This mercenary group is not very famous in other places, but it is very famous in the northeast of Cormyr and the west of the valley. The most famous point is that this mercenary group signed a contract with the Cormyr royal family to clear the Rockland. Their leader, Leyana Ross, has always been striving to take over the Rockland and obtain the baron reward from the Cormyr royal family. This is also Gavin's goal, but the route is different. Leyana relies on mercenaries. Gavin is using barbarians to fight barbarians, using monsters to fight monsters.
Seriously speaking, Gavin formulated the plan of using barbarians to fight barbarians, and Leyana contributed to it. Because in his previous life, he knew that there was such a mercenary group, but they were unable to conquer the Rockland until they were old, which helped him to reject the possibility of conquering the Rockland from the outside. After all, from the military point of view, it is impossible for him to organize an army that can rival the Purple Dragon Legion of the Kingdom of Cormier in a short period of time. In terms of mercenaries, he can't compare with the Red Crow Mercenaries, which have been operating here for decades. If possible, Gavin doesn't want to be dragged into a vicious competition with the Red Crow Mercenaries, and it is better to cooperate. After all, he just regards the Rockland as his starting point, and he is not going to stay here for the rest of his life. He will eventually go out. With a lot of thoughts in his mind, but without any expression on his face, Gavin pretended that he didn't recognize their identities. It's one thing to take action if you don't recognize their identities. It's another thing to take action if you recognize their identities. "Okay, I respect your dedication to your work, and today I will fulfill your wish, and take action." Gavin ordered. The four Erds, led by Captain Buck, simultaneously clenched the psychic stones in their hands. As their mental power was highly concentrated, the transparent psychic stones flashed with azure light. The four heavily armed guards were highly alert. They knew that the other party was casting spells, but they were powerless. The vines that kept swinging and spreading greatly restricted their mobility, let alone launching an attack or evading. Moreover, the four Erds were suspended in the air. Even in normal state, they could not do anything to them. Bang! Bang! Bang! Three of the four heavily armed guards fell on the spot. The one who didn't fall was not because he was too strong to withstand the bombardment of mental bullets. But the Erd who was aimed at him failed to cast a spell. Casting spells is not a 100% success thing, especially for beginners like them. The success rate of casting spells with psychic stones is even lower. A three-quarter success rate is already quite amazing.
Before the heavily armed guard could wonder what was going on, he snorted and fell down. Gavin, who had already activated the jump spell, was able to finish off the enemy. After just two jumps, he appeared in front of Clay and chopped with the long sword he picked up. Clay concentrated his mind and raised his sword to parry. Even though he knew it was a dead end, his instinct for survival still made him unwilling to surrender. There was no sound of parrying. As soon as Clay raised his sword, a blade tip appeared on his chest. Gavin's slash was just a bait. The real killer move had been lurking behind him. Cang Ya appeared from the hidden mist. The slash turned into a sweep, and Clay's head was directly chopped off. Gavin ordered the dog-headed men around him: "Don't hurt these four people. Take away their equipment for me, tie them up, clean up the battlefield, take away all the equipment on the bodies, bury them on the spot, and take away all the goods." Gavin walked back to the dog demon who was like a dead dog and pulled out the long sword stuck in his neck. The feeling of the cold and sharp sword piercing his neck made the dog demon shudder. The hair on his neck stood up, but he dared not move at all, even if he trembled, he dared not strike a blow, for fear that the long sword would deviate and cut his aorta. Gavin did not mean to talk nonsense with the dog demon, even though he knew that he had a high IQ and could speak the common language, and dragged him away by one leg. A strong sense of humiliation surged into the dog demon's brain, making him want to turn around and bite off the head of this half-elf man. It was too bullying for the dog, after all, he was also a highly intelligent alien creature. Compared with this grief and anger, the two broken limbs kept rubbing on the ground, causing severe pain, which was nothing. But he didn't dare, because he had just witnessed the killing determination of the young man in front of him. Not to mention killing aliens, even if it was killing his own kind or his acquaintances, he would not blink an eyelid. He believed that as long as he showed any desire to escape or attack, he would not have a second chance. "Eat him." Gavin dragged the dog demon to Clay's body and added coldly, "Use your gnawing ability." Hearing the last sentence, the dog demon suddenly felt cold, knowing that he was not wronged this time, and met a master. The young man in front of him knew his race very well. The dog demon did not dare to hesitate, and used his two broken limbs to prop up his upper body, and the magic power began to surge. "Don't have any crooked thoughts, believe me, without two front legs, no matter whether it is the door or the flash, it is impossible to escape my pursuit. Your magic is not faster than my sword or my psychic power." Gavin gently waved the long sword and warned in a calm tone. The dog demon knew that what the other party said was the truth. Not daring to have any crooked thoughts, the ugly mouth opened to the extreme, biting and tearing at Clay's body. Due to the lack of two front paws, the biting speed was obviously much slower than usual, but it did not affect the corresponding effect. The dog demon extracted strands of life substances from Clay's body. This is the most powerful ability of the dog demon. He can absorb the life essence of humanoids by gnawing on their bodies and use them for himself, so that he can gain more powerful strength. As Clay's life essence was absorbed, the dog demon's broken limbs squirmed, and strands of flesh buds began to grow, just like performing regeneration.
For corpses eaten by the dog demon, ordinary resurrection of the dead will not work on them, and even powerful wishing, miracle or complete resurrection spells will only have a 50% chance of resurrecting them. Hmm. Clay will not be resurrected 100%, even by wishing and miracle spells. Because just as the dog demon was gnawing at his head, a faint figure with a scream was swallowed into his stomach. All souls were eaten by the dog demon. Unless the gods personally take action, the magic of the mortal world will no longer work on him. This young man named Gavin is a ruthless character. He not only wants people's lives and robs people's wealth, but also does not let go of people's souls. If Andy had known that the person he was trading with was such a ruthless character, he would have killed the dog demon and would not have encouraged Andy to have evil thoughts. Following such a powerful person and waving flags and shouting is the most correct choice. While the dog demon used the gnawing skill, he criticized Gavin in his heart. Ouch! The dog demon screamed in pain. Just now, Gavin took advantage of his attention to gnawing and slashed his two front paws, which had not yet grown completely, at elbow level again. Damn, this young man is too cautious and doesn't give him any chance. This is not a half-elf at all, it is a demon in human skin. Those demons are not as cunning and cruel as him. "Real name." Gavin asked, leaning on his long sword. "Andrew." The dog demon answered obediently. The other party even knew the dog demon's eating, so it was impossible for him not to know their high intelligence. Gavin looked at the dog demon with an expression that said you are fooling a fool, "The devil's real name in the book of real names, if you fool me again, I will cut you into pieces bit by bit." The dog demon was silent. Are you kidding? How could I give you the devil's real name in the book of real names? Once you control the devil's real name, won't it be your slave for generations and never turn over? I would rather die than be a slave. Tsk! Gavin took actual action directly and cut the dog demon's broken arm with a sword. This time he was prepared, and the dog demon did not scream, but just trembled all over. Still responded to Gavin with silence, making up his mind that even if he was really killed, he would never tell his devil's real name. The devil's true name is the origin of all demons and the birth of demons. Once known by others, they will be controlled by him and cannot disobey any of his orders - even death, real death. Under normal circumstances, in the material world, demons cannot be completely killed, or in other words, only their bodies are killed, and their souls will return to their hometown in the abyss, where they will use the power of the abyss to reshape their bodies. The same is true for demons, but they return to hell.
If someone controls the devil's true name, even if it returns to its hometown, it will be pulled back by the true name. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Gavin slashed several times, but the dog demon was still silent. "Good, tough." Gavin gave the dog demon a thumbs up and said, "I hope you will be as tough as you are now next time, Anna, healing spell." Hearing the healing spell, the dog demon's face changed involuntarily. Casting a healing spell on a demon from the evil plane, is this something that people can think of? "I'm here." Anna, who seemed a little bored, responded crisply and trotted over. Her big round eyes also showed some doubts, "Mr. Gavin, is it appropriate to use a healing spell on him?" This was the first time in her life that someone wanted to use a healing spell on a devil. "How do you know if you don't try? Don't worry, the effect is better than you think." "Okay, I'll try." Anna gave Gavin full trust. He said so, so it must be right. Treat minor injuries. With a trial mentality, Anna only cast the most basic healing spell. After the pure healing energy was injected into the body of the dog demon, it was like a bucket of cold water poured into a boiling oil pot - don't even mention that scene. The dog demon, who was chopped off his broken limbs like bones by Gavin's long sword, howled and rolled all over the world without a hum. Puffs of black smoke came out from inside. The positive energy that constitutes the healing spell is essentially in conflict with the power of the dog demon. Entering his body, not only will it not have a healing effect, but it will burn his body and soul. This kind of pain is not comparable to the flesh alone. The side effects of Anna's healing spell did not appear this time. It did not have a healing effect in the first place, so naturally there were no side effects. "So powerful?" Anna was obviously surprised that her own healing spell could have such an effect. Anna had no psychological burden for the ugly demon monster like the dog demon. She quickly recited the prayer and cast healing spells on the dog demon one by one. The effect of treating minor injuries was so powerful, not to mention the treatment of minor injuries with more positive energy. At the end of the roll, the dog demon was sweating profusely, and he collapsed directly, lying on the ground, motionless. From beginning to end, he refused to tell his real name of the devil. It is not so easy to get a devil to tell his real name. For a while, Gavin had no way to deal with the dog demon. This time, the magic sword was directly inserted near the heart, and he was ready to take it back to the Black Well Tribe first. The goods that Clay was going to trade to the goblins were naturally taken by Gavin and dragged back to the Black Well Tribe. There were a total of 22 heavy trucks, 20 of which were carrying old grains, and the goods were even better than those transported to the Black Well Tribe by the caravan.
I don’t know if it was intentional to gain the trust of the goblin tribe, or if it was not possible to collect so much moldy grain at once. Anyway, Gavin's cheeks twitched several times. The other two trucks were loaded with weapons and equipment suitable for small races. What Gavin valued most was the 100 single-arm crossbows and more than 3,000 crossbow arrows. A few single-arm crossbows are not difficult to deal with, but it is difficult to deal with such a large number. This kind of weapon can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of a tribe in a short period of time, even the goblin tribe. If the goblins in the spirit crystal mines get such a pile of equipment. Gavin will definitely have a headache and can't sleep for a short time. This is the main reason why Gavin didn't let Clay go after his death and let the dog demon eat his body-Clay himself has done the worst, so don't blame him Gavin for not thinking of the past. As soon as he returned to the Black Well Tribe, Gavin distributed the 100 single-arm crossbows. Each of the Erds led by Buck was first given one, and 30 crossbow arrows, which was considered their reward for this battle. Team Erd played a great role in catching the adulterer this time. It was with the advantage of the air and Cangya's Mist Hidden Art that they followed Andy unnoticed and played with him. Through this cooperation, Captain Buck had to re-examine Gavin and his Black Well Tribe. Gavin's use of tactics, grasp of timing, and diversified coordination of magic were far beyond Buck's reach. Who would have thought that a level-one spell-like ability, Mist Hidden Art, could allow the entire Erd team to hide in the air without being discovered? Who would have thought that the goblin warlock dragged by Erd could cast a fireball from the air and bomb the ground? Who would have thought that a ventriloquism would make the group of goblin wolf knights charge at their allies without knowing what was going on? Anyway, before this, Captain Buck would never have thought of it. Gavin opened a new door for him. It turns out that the war can be fought this way. Captain Buck originally only had 30% hope for Gavin's plan to wipe out the harpies in Eagle Cliff, but now this hope has become 60%. If he were in charge, he would definitely come up with a different plan. Gavin and his men brought Clay's truck back to the Black Well Tribe, and then they transported the food that they had previously sold to the goblin tribe back. Gavin and his men were divided into two groups. In the other group, Gavin only sent Howl and fifty kobold soldiers. The other goblins in the Spirit Crystal Mine didn't know Andy's plan, and Howl's deterrent power was real. The half-ogre only needed to chase them and roar, and the group of goblins transporting food would scatter.
