The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 22 Attacking the Tribe

The Red Horn Wilderness is a wilderness located more than two hundred kilometers north of Black Rock City.

There are few plants in the wilderness, water sources are hard to find, and there are only many jagged rocks that look like red sharp corners. This is where the name Red Horn Wilderness comes from.

Due to the harsh environment, apart from the black-scaled lizard people, there are no other groups of intelligent creatures in the Red Horn Wilderness.

It is precisely because it is difficult to find enough food in the Red Horn Wilderness that every winter, the Black Scale Lizardmen invade the territory of Black Rock City, plundering enough food for the winter, and consuming too much of the tribe's population.

Everyone in Black Rock City hates this barbaric race that is predatory and brings disaster to Black Rock City every year.

Therefore, when Key ordered a raid on the Black Scale Lizard Tribe, he immediately received a fanatical response from the knights.

"I have been unhappy with those lizard bandits for a long time. I must destroy them today!"

Qiao Dun was riding on the black rock leopard, his face full of excitement.

The knights around were also gearing up.

Out of the importance he attached to this war, in addition to dispatching the newly formed cavalry regiment, Key also mobilized 500 soldiers.

With the support of sufficient gold coins, Blackstone City's current army has expanded to a thousand people.

This does not include the militia.

It can be said that the military strength has increased several times compared to last year.

With the cavalry regiment in front and the infantry behind, the long team of more than 500 people marched orderly in the wilderness.

Key and Sunan were in the middle of the team, both riding a black rock leopard.

But compared with the black rock leopards of the cavalry regiment, the black rock leopards they rode looked stronger and taller, and their body luster was darker.

[Black Rock Leopard (Puppet/Senior Knight Level), a puppet creation made of black stone iron. Its body is stronger than black stone iron. It has the ability to sneak in black stone iron veins. It can replenish energy and recover from injuries by swallowing black stone iron. 】

This is the elite black rock leopard synthesized by Sunan from seven black rock leopards.

Each head has the combat power of a high-level knight, and the body is harder. Even weapons made of black stone iron can only leave a shallow mark on it.

Key couldn't put it down for this elite black rock leopard, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with his mount.

As we go deeper into the Redhorn Wilderness, the surrounding environment becomes increasingly desolate.

After another half hour of driving, the scout in charge of the investigation returned and said loudly: "Sir, there is a tribe of black-scaled lizards about two kilometers ahead."

"very good."

Key cheered up and ordered in a deep voice.

"Everyone speed up and get ready for battle!"

As the order was issued, the team's speed suddenly accelerated.

Not long after, a tribe of black-scaled lizards came into view.

It is said to be a tribe, but it is actually a small house made of hay and wood surrounded by wooden fences. It is primitive and backward everywhere.

An army of more than 500 people was approaching, and the black-scaled lizards were not blind, so there was no way they would not notice it.

When the army arrived, hundreds of black-scaled lizards were already gathering in front of the tribe with weapons in hand, staring fiercely at the incoming enemy.

The black-scaled lizard people can be said to be a group where all the people are soldiers. Even women and children have fighting prowess that is not inferior to that of normal adult men.

Adult black-scaled lizards have a level of strength comparable to that of a knight's attendant.

A few elite black scale lizards can reach the level of apprentice knights.

If there is an atavism, the black-scale lizard man who has awakened a trace of dragon lizard blood is enough to compete with the knight.

Standing at the front, there are red lines on the scales on the body. There are more than ten knight-level black-scaled lizards who have clearly awakened the dragon lizard bloodline.

The leader, the black-scaled lizard man who was nearly 2.5 meters tall and exuded a fierce and violent aura, gave Sunan an aura that was almost the same as Keyi's.

You must know that just last month, Key was promoted to the peak knight.

In other words, this black-scaled lizard man who is suspected to be the tribal chief is likely to have the power of a peak knight level. In addition, the number of black-scale lizard warriors holding weapons was obviously more than two hundred.

The number of people may be smaller than theirs, but the individual strength is higher than lower.

Winning this battle seems not that simple.

However, both Key and the knights under his command showed no fear and high morale.

Just because there is a wizard standing behind them!

While running, all the cavalrymen in the cavalry regiment took out the medicine at the same time, opened the cork with their thumbs, and poured it into their mouths.

Brutal strength potion!

A zero-level potion that can greatly enhance your strength!

For this battle, Sunan made more than 60 bottles of medicine at one go, so that each member of the cavalry regiment was equipped with one bottle.

With the blessing of brute force potion, even a trainee knight can exert a power that is not much inferior to that of a formal knight!

"charge!"

Key drew his sword and shouted loudly.

With his troops galloping in front of him, the cavalry regiment slammed into the black-scaled lizard people's defense line like sharp arrows!

In an instant, blood spurted out and limbs flew everywhere!

The battle broke out instantly and quickly became intense.

The open space in front of the tribe turned into a **** battlefield in an instant!

This is the first time that the cavalry regiment, with the Black Rock Leopard as its mount, has truly gone on the battlefield since its formation.

The fighting prowess they displayed did not disappoint either.

Even if the black scale lizard man could withstand the weapons chopped down by the cavalry, his chest and abdomen would soon be torn apart by the sharp claws of the black rock leopard.

What they faced was no longer a single cavalry individual, but a joint attack between the cavalry and the Black Rock Leopard.

This was completely different from the cavalry armies they had faced in the past.

As expected from the initial information, the black-scaled lizard people suffered heavy losses.

Sunan stood behind, looking at the battlefield and nodding secretly.

It seems that there has never been an example of taming exotic beasts as mounts in this world.

At least there has never been one in the Principality of Stars.

Because of this, it is easy for people who encounter the Black Rock Panther Cavalry, an unprecedented unit, to make the wrong response for the first time.

On the ever-changing battlefield, the wrong response often means death.

The Black Rock Panther Cavalry is currently relatively small in number. When this army expands into a truly large-scale cavalry regiment, it will surely bring a huge 'surprise' to the enemies of Black Rock City.

Sunan looked away, glanced at Brad who was standing by, and sighed slightly in her heart.

He had to be promoted to a second-class wizard apprentice as soon as possible, otherwise he would always be a fragile mage and would have to be protected on the battlefield.

Shaking his head, Sunan gathered his thoughts and spit out strange syllables. The void in front of him quickly condensed into a ball of acid the size of a basketball. As he stretched out his fingers, he flew towards a knight-level black-scale lizard man like a sharp arrow.

The distance of the mage's hand is not long enough and is not suitable for use on the battlefield at this time.

Therefore, Sunan chose to use acid splash.

Tsk!

The black-scaled lizard man didn't expect an attack from a distance, and was caught off guard and hit in the face by acid.

In just a moment, the acid corroded a big hole in the face of the black-scaled lizard man. All the facial features were corroded, leaving only a large black hole, and even the bones inside were corroded.

The black-scaled lizard man twitched and fell to the ground, seemingly dead.

The terrifying power of the acid splash made the scalps of the surrounding black-scaled lizards numb.

For a moment, the black-scaled lizard man looked at Sunan with deep fear in his eyes.

They are not afraid of human sharp blades, fists and kicks, but this weird and terrifying attack is beyond their knowledge and understanding.

What exactly is this power?
