Casting spells

"Oh? Interesting! A woman can have such a status. After collecting the prisoners in a while, bring her to me." Gal stroked the beard on his chin, his eyes revealing a sinister and cunning light.

Chapter 429 Development and Growth

As an orc chieftain who grew up in a harsh natural environment, Garr was smarter and more thoughtful than his kind.

Taking advantage of the approaching blizzard, he led his men to attack three or four medium-sized barbarian tribes in a row, and soon returned to the base camp with the booty and prisoners.

He is obviously very clear that as the blizzard gradually subsides, his sneak attack tactics will not be very effective. Once one or two barbarians escape during the battle, it will not be long before all the barbarians in the entire Icewind Dale will be killed. information.

Despite having the Red Spring at his back, he wasn't afraid to fight a tough fight with these proud savages and destroy them head-on.

However, considering his own losses and the potential benefits of incorporating the barbarians, he finally gave up the idea of ​​fighting head-on.

After all, winter has just begun, and there is still plenty of time, so there is no need to rush to take risks, not to mention that he has another plan, an annexation plan that will not arouse the vigilance of too many barbarians.

……

As soon as they returned to the huge cavern of the steaming hot spring, the returning orc warriors snatched spoons and bowls from the goblin servants, and stuffed large pieces of meat, fish and shrimp from the stone pots into their mouths.

In an open space not far away, a huge whale has been dismembered in half.

Part of the red meat is cut into small pieces, part of it is thrown into the pot to be cooked and eaten, and part of it is thrown out and frozen for storage.

The tongue and the fatty part are used to extract oil, so that soldiers who go out to fight can smear it on their bodies, which can not only prevent the rapid loss of heat, but also prevent the skin from drying out and frostbite under the cold wind.

As for bones and skin, the former can be used to cook soup and make crude weapons, while the latter can be wrapped inside the armor to resist impact damage and keep warm at the same time.

In short, since Zhang Cheng taught these guys the skills of whaling before he left, they have never worried about food.

Every once in a while, the orcs would take a hammer and a chisel and dig a big hole in the ice a few kilometers away. When the whales on the bottom of the sea came up to take a breath, they would stab their thick javelins in, and then followed Patiently waiting behind the reddish waters for the whales to exhaust themselves.

Since no one in the continent of Faerun realized the economic value of hunting whales, there were so many whales in the sea that they were overwhelmed, and it was not a problem to feed thousands of people.

"Invincible Great Chief! Please taste the delicious food carefully prepared by your humble servant!" A human man who looked about 30 years old knelt on one knee and placed a pot of steaming stew on the seat in front of him. stone table.

"No accidents happened during my absence, Yves?" Garr asked without raising his head as he picked up the pot and ate the stewed meat with a little spice and salt.

"Of course not! Everything is under your control! The kobolds discovered an underground mine not long ago, and together with the three dwarven blacksmiths captured, it won't take long for your army to continuously obtain the best weapons And armor. At that time, the entire Icewind Dale will be your kingdom and hunting ground, and any guy who dares to block your conquest will be crushed instantly." The man called Yves suppressed the pain in his heart Fear shouted a compliment.

As a businessman who was first captured by Akar Kessell and then accidentally fell into the control of monsters, he was undoubtedly quite aware of his situation, and he had no idea of ​​running away at all, because even if he escaped, he would not be able to pass through. After living through the perilous frozen wasteland, he simply devoted himself to serving the orcs.

He could see that this powerful orc chief with red skin was obviously different from those ordinary orcs who were full of fighting and killing. As long as he contributed his management skills, he didn't have to worry about being killed or abused. torment.

On the contrary, he has now been appointed as the head of the interior of this increasingly large tribe, not only in a position above many goblin servants, but also has two exclusive orc bodyguards.

After hearing these words, Gar swallowed the meat in his mouth and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! The master will definitely be satisfied with our progress. As a reward, I authorize you to choose a woman from among the captives."

"Woman?!" Eves raised his head subconsciously, glanced at the barbarian woman whose hands were tightly bound by ropes, and his eyes suddenly burst into a hungry wolf-like light.

Although female barbarians are far taller and stronger than ordinary humans, they generally do not conform to the aesthetics of normal humans.

But for a person who has been abstinent for several years, the female creatures around him are either unappetizing goblins, or monsters such as orcs, orcs, ogres, etc., it is completely naked temptation.

Especially one of them, a girl who looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old and had long blonde hair, almost made him have an urge to burn.

But unfortunately, before Eves asked for it, Gar hooked his finger at the girl: "Come here! I have a question for you to answer."

The latter obviously hesitated for a while, and finally came to the table cautiously, staring at everything around him with eyes full of fear.

She still can't believe that the other party can gather such a huge army under her nose, and she can feed thousands of soldiers without even going out to hunt.

"First of all, tell me your name." Gar put aside the iron pot that had been eaten, and looked at the other party with great interest.

"Malvina! If you want to know why those soldiers obeyed my orders, the reason is very simple. I am the chief's daughter, and the person your soldiers killed was my father." The girl lowered her head and explained.

"Oh? The chief's daughter!" Gar was slightly taken aback, and immediately asked with a smile, "Then why did you surrender? Normally, shouldn't you put all your eggs in one basket and avenge your father?"

"No, hatred is meaningless. It can neither bring us food nor allow us to survive. I care more about living than revenge." After finishing speaking, Malvina clenched her fists tightly, her face showing a smile. A strong desire for life.

Gar looked into the girl's eyes, as if judging how much of the other's words were truth and how much was a lie.

After a full minute, he laughed unscrupulously: "Hahahaha! You are special! At least among the barbarians who regard death in battle as the highest honor! Now, I will give you a chance, a chance to change your destiny. Kneel down and offer your allegiance to the Great Master, and I will return your tribe to you, and give you great power and rights."

"I am willing! But you have to tell me, who is the great master?"

Without any hesitation, Malvina directly knelt down.

Unlike most people who believe in Tempus, the god of war, she has not yet chosen her own belief, and she doesn't care about good or evil. The only thing she desires is to survive and prove the value of her existence in some way.

"Very good! Our master is the great king of black dragons, and he possesses power far beyond your imagination. Come here, drink this gift of grace, and then you will understand what I mean."

As soon as the words fell, Gar took a cup of crimson spring water from an orc warrior and handed it to the girl...

4 Chapter Thirty

When Gar was planning to conquer the barbarians and dominate the entire frozen wasteland, Zhang Cheng, who was far away in the most luxurious house in Ten Towns, was not idle.

To be exact, he who had just completed the net-touching ceremony was hiding in an empty cellar, staring at the nearly tarnished magic crystal in his hand, with a strange expression on his face.

In fact, as early as after the final battle of Icewind Dale, he took this powerful and evil artifact into his pocket, but he never took the time to check it out.

During this period, of course, Clinshinibon tried to communicate through dreams, hints, etc.

But it is a pity that Zhang Cheng's mind has long been filled with Nelthario's madness and desire to destroy, coupled with the seductive whispers of the ancient gods, the mere spiritual hints are drowned without even splashing, so that He didn't realize that the Crystal Shard was connecting with him at all.

Until a few minutes ago, when he was trying to cast a second-level spell "Catalytic Potion", a strange magical force suddenly surged out, allowing this spell that he hadn't mastered to be released smoothly.

It has to be said that in the countless years of Clinshinibon's birth, he has never been so aggrieved like now. Not only was he thrown in a dark bag unable to absorb energy, but he was also completely ignored by the holder.

If it wasn't for its lack of legs, it would have left this nasty place long ago to find the next weak-willed mortal.

However, because the stupid Akar Kessell consumed almost all of his energy before he died, the Shard of Magic Crystal is currently in the weakest state, and he can't even emit energy fluctuations to lure the guys from the evil camp to look for him .

"You want me to start a war?" Zhang Cheng frowned and asked through a spiritual connection.

"That's right! You are a dragon! A powerful dragon with destructive power! I can recruit a loyal army for you! I can give you supreme power, beauty and treasure..." Clinshini Peng also bewitched Dao with the help of spiritual connection.

"What about after the war is over? Suppose I win a war, take away a large piece of fertile land, and establish a powerful kingdom, what should I do next?" Zhang Cheng continued to ask with a half-smile.

"Continue to expand! Conquer all lands that can be conquered! Let all creatures crawl under your feet! You are the king! The supreme ruler of this world!" The Crystal Shard gave his answer without thinking.

After listening to these unnutritious and illogical nonsense, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Sorry, I reject your proposal. Maybe you are very smart and have a smarter thinking ability than most ordinary people, but Without a little bit of rationality, it is like an insatiable child who only knows to create chaos, destruction, and destruction, and does not know when to restrain and when to restrain. If someone uses your power to rule the world one day, then you can only get It will be a devastated ruin."

"No! I can feel it! There is terrifying madness and destruction hidden deep in your subconscious mind! I can help you realize those horrible thoughts!" Clinshinibon roared directly to the soul as if he had been stimulated by some kind.

"Hehe, I never doubted this. But unfortunately, the ultimate madness and destruction is not what I pursue. On the contrary, I hope to maintain my sanity in the endless destruction and madness. You will never understand the importance of sanity .Okay, this is the end of our conversation. Don't worry, I will find you a suitable holder for you after a while..."

After saying this meaningful sentence, Zhang Cheng threw Clinshinibon into a bag full of dust again to ensure that it would never be able to touch even a little bit of sunlight.
