The mage arrives

Once again, Gordon has to be grateful for the game experience in "The Elder Age" in another world.Two different worlds based on the same basic world view are like two parallel straight lines. Although there are many differences, there are also many similarities.

The frigid venom dragon is one of the earliest monster illustrations that Gordon collected in the game-you must know that this is not easy, the player must kill a thousand creatures of the same type to open the illustration.

This is because Gordon received a mission to open up a polar trade route for the NPC Chamber of Commerce, so in the few months of back and forth, he killed so many cold venom flying dragon.

He has a clear understanding of the characteristics and habits of this creature, including food, habitat, hunting methods, population size, temperament, and even the preferred posture during mating.Of course, Gordon knew almost every way to kill these deadly venom-breathing monsters.

The powder made by mixing and grinding the eggshell of the human face eagle and the dried tongue of the fire toad, after being ignited, can produce a kind of smoke that makes the cold poisonous dragon dizzy and twitches uncontrollably.This is the most effective weapon against this monster.Gordon once relied on a large bag of this powder in the game to wipe out four large dragon nests in one day, earning enough experience.

However, in the face of the mutated Poison Mist Wyvern mixed with abyssal blood, the effect of this powder was discounted.

This is not a problem for Gordon.

Since the Poison Mist Wyvern has the characteristics of a demon, wouldn't it be enough to find something that restrains the demon?

The flower of life is full of positive energy.The main ingredient used by many good and neutral clerics to craft healing potions.

This alchemy plant has become popular in the world of Tyros, and many organizations or individuals have mastered the cultivation method.

In order to deal with the demon Cyclops and heal wounded soldiers, Grand Duke Antaello had already stockpiled many dried Flowers of Life in the warehouse of Gaoyan City.

Gordon grinds the petals of the flower of life and mixes them into a powder that can restrain the cold venomous wyvern.The improved "Milong Powder" was made.He tried it out and found it to be very effective.

In fact, the poisonous smog dragon captured by him did not die under the sharp knife used for dissection, but suffocated to death after staying in the room filled with the smoke of "Dragon Powder" for less than 10 minutes.

Before Gordon made an improved dragon powder to effectively deal with the air attack of the poisonous fog dragon, the archduke had to order the field mages to prepare as many spells as possible, such as "Darson's Cool Breeze", which could blow away the poisonous fog.Because of this targeted preparation.The number of soldiers who died from the poisonous mist of flying dragons has indeed decreased a lot, but correspondingly, the mages have also had to reduce the spells used to deal with the orc siege troops.

One ebbs and another.Didn't take advantage of anything.

However, after the [-] kilograms of dragon powder that the alchemists in the city rushed to produce overnight were transported to the city wall, the aerial threat of the poisonous mist flying dragon was finally effectively contained.Whenever the poisonous mist dragon attacked, the soldiers of Ferelton would sprinkle dragon powder into the prepared fire.

The powder burns, and the pale yellow smoke emits a strange smell.Rising into the sky with thermals.The Mist Drake flies through these yellow clouds.After accidentally inhaling it, he immediately let out a strange coughing sound, and his wings twitched and fell to the ground.

In the three flying dragon attacks, there were no casualties except for a few unlucky Freyton soldiers who were killed by the poisonous fog flying dragons that fell on the ground.And Hettington, who commanded the flying dragon in the floating fortress, obviously didn't want to waste his precious biological weapons in such a useless place, and since then gave up the plan to attack Gaoyan City from the air, and rest assured to repair the damage suffered by the fortress.

The numbers on the calendar move forward day by day.Cruel and bloody siege battles continued day by day.

Eight days after the start of the war, Gordon left the arcane lab.Come to the frontline battlefield again.He completed one of the two tasks assigned to him by Grand Duke Rob Antello, and he did an excellent job of ensuring that the sky of Gaoyan City would no longer be disturbed by the poisonous fog dragons.These days, he also collected many bulging glands filled with poisonous substances from the corpses of poisonous mist flying dragons that fell in the city.

Although this thing is dangerous, it is also very valuable, and it may come in handy in the future, so Gordon collects glands from each dragon carcass like a happy farmer picking fruit.

However, another extremely important task, which could even be said to be related to the survival of Gaoyan City-to find a way to destroy the floating fortress of the Three Holy Baptists, has not made any progress.In addition, the orcs' offensive was extremely fierce today, so Gordon also had to go to the front line to support, and he could also kill the orcs to relax.

Well, killing orcs to relax, this way is very unique.

"Salute to you, protector of the sky in High Rock City!" shouted the guard guarding the gate of the Red Rock Fortress.

"Look, that's the dragon slayer, mage Gordon Freeman!" The patrol team met on the street cheered Gordon enthusiastically.

"Lord of the Black Titans, we are proud to fight alongside you!" The soldiers who had just rotated from the city wall shouted and tapped their shields to show their respect for Gordon.

The mage found that he had unknowingly gained a lot of titles that sounded powerful.

Killing flying dragons, developing dragon fan powder, and his own symbolic black titan golem... I don't know whether it was natural or intentional, but these deeds are now widely circulated in Gaoyan City.

Gordon found that during this period of time, his identity and image as a "war hero" had become more and more consolidated in the hearts of the residents of Gaoyan City.

"If this is a publicity campaign by the Grand Duke to boost morale, then I have to admit, he's done a pretty good job."

Gordon smiled and greeted the soldiers who greeted him, and walked up the city wall.Fighting side by side with him today is still the young centurion Sward from the Redstone Legion.After being tempered by the flames of war, the fair and immature face of this aristocratic youth turned into a bronze color, stained with blood and black ash.He no longer hesitates when giving orders, no longer trembles when holding a long sword, he has grown into an excellent soldier.

War can not only make men grow, but it can also make women grow.Gordon, who was immersed in various alchemy materials and potion formulas in the arcane experiments, had a feeling of "separate sisters for three days" when he saw Xiona again.

From the first day of the war, the little girl devoted herself to the front line of defending against the orcs' attack. She led Chuck and other five Freeman retainers. Where.After Gordon's targeted training, the Chuck Five became the most efficient and accurate orc killing machine.Xie Oona led them, and was able to turn the tide every time, driving down the orcs who had climbed the city wall.

Xiona's two swords, Longyin and Zidian, have been drinking the blood of orcs every day during these days.This beautiful girl with ponytail and black hair was even called "Battle Angel" by many soldiers in private.Because every time she appears on the battlefield, she can use her beauty to naturally inspire the soldiers' will to fight, and use her long sword to defeat wave after wave of enemies.

Although Gordon is not very used to the various titles that other people give to himself, he is quite proud of Xiona's image in the hearts of the soldiers: "My sister can fight and is beautiful, of course she deserves it" Battle Angel" title.

But on today's battlefield, the protagonist has become the older brother of "Battlefield Angel".

As soon as Gordon boarded the city wall, he found that compared with when the siege battle just started eight days ago, the battlefield was filled with a disgusting stench.

The stench comes from the city walls where tar has been rolled over.In order to prevent the orcs from attacking the city, the Freyton defenders with sufficient supplies did not spare all kinds of defense materials.Those orcs who climbed up the siege ladder were drenched by the hot black, oily and sticky tar, and immediately fell to the wall with screams.Even the skin and flesh that had been scalded by the tar had cooled and stuck to the outer wall of the city wall.

This stench also came from the orc soldiers who were killed under the city by various long-range attack methods such as bows, ballistas, stones, javelins, and spells.They died on the dry grass plain in winter before touching the rough walls of Gaoyan City that were full of signs of time.

The tundra orcs, a semi-civilized race, did not have the habit of human beings and other civilized races to respect the dead. They had no intention of collecting the corpses at all, and just let the corpses of their comrades stink and rot on the battlefield.Gordon even suspected that those green-skinned savages had the vicious idea of ​​letting the rotting corpses cause a plague in the city.

Compared with the flying dragon attack and the super-nine-ring magic confrontation in the dark night eight days ago, the devastated scene now makes Gordon feel more like a war.

He silently observed the orc army that filed out from the huge camp that stretched for dozens of kilometers, and then began to line up, preparing to launch an attack.

Today, the warlord Ugru Iron Claw still seems to have no plans to send Cyclops.He arranged the big guys who were equivalent to the spirit totems of the orcs at the back. Gordon looked over from a distance, and could only vaguely see the armor spikes on the demon one-eyed bodies and the giant mace on their shoulders.

Although armed, the Cyclops is no longer unarmed like in the first battle at Saivato Fortress, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. However, in the face of Gaoyan City, a heavy ballista is arranged every ten meters, and a catapult is arranged every 30 meters. Before climbing up the city wall, these giants with huge stature and obvious targets would become the most obvious targets.

Ugru Iron Claw wisely reserved his strongest combat power, preparing to use it in the most critical places in the future.Anyway, the orcs have an absolute advantage in the number of troops, and it seems that they can slowly wear down humans with only a war of attrition.

But today Ugru Iron Claw didn't seem to be launching the boring and bloody siege battle as usual.He resorted to some means that the Fereidon people did not expect. (To be continued..)
