Chapter 138

Here comes the troll.

The news brought by the thin monkey just now is that some trolls are moving to Zhenbei castle.

Trolls have good strength in the wilderness. It is said that they once had a huge empire, but later they failed in the war with ancient elves. Finally, the whole empire fell apart and all trolls were expelled to the wilderness.

Su Lun is well aware of the troubles of trolls. They once had their own civilization. Although they were defeated by the elves, the strength of the inherited Troll tribe should not be underestimated.

Trolls now live according to tribes. They think that the Empire once collapsed. Now all Troll tribes do their own things. After being driven to the wilderness, troll civilization has also changed greatly. For example, troll tribes began to believe in ancestral spirits and natural spirits.

Although these ancestors and natural spirits are not gods, they have the power of some gods. Those trolls can also use them to exert their elemental power. Many trolls are first-class warriors, hunters and assassins. They are very dangerous. Especially many Troll tribes are good at using poison, which is disgusting. The troll's poison is so strong that even the ogre can't carry it. Now these Troll tribes are close to the North Castle of the town.

"Why do those trolls move to us?" Su Lun wondered. Although the troll tribe is not far from Zhenbei castle, the trolls will attack humans when they are full. The trolls' enemies are elves and half elves, and even if they want to attack, how can they choose to attack in winter.

"Food! Troll is short of food." this is the only explanation that sullen thought of.

Trolls themselves don't know how to cultivate. They are nomads and rely on hunting and livestock breeding. This model is very fragile. Once they suffer some natural disasters or other events, they will suffer from food shortage. If the food is not enough, the trolls will plunder other tribes. The troll tribe near Zhenbei fort is not too large, and the number is no more than 1000.

Although the number is less than that of centaurs and orcs, compared with them, trolls are still a very difficult race. Trolls have a very disgusting talent for regeneration. Their regeneration ability is almost abnormal.

Even if the hand or leg is broken, it will grow back in a few days. In addition to using fire or strong acid, it is a variety of powerful element attacks to kill them.

The heavy snow stopped after one day. Zhenbei Fort began to clean up the snow in the morning. Fortunately, the snow is not thick. Sheriff Harrison and the security team patrol the town to see if there are houses collapsed because of the snow.

Boulder was sent to the horse farm to see if the war horses were affected. There was no Jerry built housing construction in the territory. The heavy snow did not have much impact.

Because the troll tribe showed signs of going south, sulun also sent all scouts to investigate. Even the drow elf Aton was sent out. As a drow elf proficient in assassination investigation, Aton can be said to be the strongest scout in the North Castle of the town.

About half of the troops in Zhenbei fort were arranged by sulun to escort the caravan. At present, the number of troops in the territory is not large. Sulun did not recruit ordinary serfs or refugees into the army on a large scale. Those farmers who could not hold the company commander's gun well went to the battlefield to give military merit to others.

Aton's figure flew past. Although there was a heavy snow yesterday, the snow on the wasteland was only a thin layer, and the withered and yellow weeds were half a person high, which could be easily hidden for a wanderer.

He is no stranger to the environment here. After all, in order to train the scouts, he took them to touch all the surrounding environment, but even so, Aton was not careless.

Trolls also have rogues. They can track the target through footprints, smells and broken branches and plants. In the face of these opponents, they will overturn accidentally.

"Creak!"

Aton tiptoed gently on a big tree, and then slowly fell to the ground, because the trees were lush, there was not much snow in the woods, but there was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground. It creaks when you step on it.

There are many messy footprints on the ground. Although those people disguised when they left, they were still like a torch in the night in the eyes of experts. Aton stretched out his hand to erase the messy leaves, and a trace appeared in front of him.

Following the trace, Aton found several gray hairs on some grass leaves.

Jackal!

Jackals do exist in the troll tribe. The number of trolls is limited. They will enslave other races to work for them. This Troll tribe may also enslave a large number of jackals as cannon fodder.

After discovering the trace, Aton flashed a cold light in his eyes and showed a cruel expression on his face. Even the drow elves who believe in dark girls, their cruel and cold genes are still engraved in their bones.

The battle between Scouts is very dangerous, and the victory and defeat are often only in a moment.

The most common is encounter or ambush. Even a great knight may capsize in the gutter. A low-level professional proficient in tracking, hiding and traps may also kill enemies far more powerful than him.

Aton moves quickly along the traces in the grass. As an excellent wanderer, his tracking skills are still very strong. These traces in front of him are only left today. Smart wanderers can even track the traces left a few days or even a week ago. They can distinguish the height, weight and type of the enemy through these traces.

The main force of the troll tribe has not come yet. After all, there are still a lot of things to prepare for the deployment of the army. But even so, trolls can come here in up to three days. What Aton meets now is the Scouts of the troll tribe.

"Shadow hiding!"

After passing through a shadow, Aton's body gradually melted into the shadow, and then disappeared. As a drow elf, his ears were very sensitive. Just now he had heard something from a distance.

Aton's body was shrouded in shadow, and then approached in the direction of the sound. It was close to the LOTAS mountains. Soon Aton found a cave hidden in the bushes.

The outside of the cave is covered by vines. If you don't pay attention to observation, you can't find that it looks dark inside. At this time, some movement came from the cave, but it soon disappeared. After a while, a tall figure came out of the cave. The figure pulled away the vines, and a gray hyena's head leaked out. It was the jackal, but the corner of his mouth was obviously swollen.

The Jackal looked around, then found a hidden corner near the cave and hid. Obviously, the unlucky man was arranged to watch the night.
