Eagle Cliff.
It is a rare peak in the rocky land, standing alone among a group of low and flat mountains. From a distance, it looks like an eagle's head sticking out from the flat ground, and it is a landmark of the surrounding terrain.
What really gives it this name are the figures that often fly around it - the harpies.
This is a family-style harpy nest, with no less than a hundred harpies living in it. They are a catastrophic existence to all intelligent life around them, especially males, and their expressions change when they hear the harpy cliff.
The straight-line distance between Yingya and Heijing tribe is not far, only about twelve or thirteen kilometers.
However, in the complex rocky terrain, it was as many as twenty or thirty kilometers in a circle, especially when the people in the middle were the Blood Claws of the hobgoblin tribe who had enmity with the Black Well tribe.
Speaking of this Blood Claw, ever since the Trap Tribe escaped from the Trap Tribe through Gavin's trick of substituting one of their own, they no longer had any worries and were really having a lot of fun. They were recruiting troops, plundering everywhere, and plundering several surrounding hills. .
Gavin, on the other hand, made full use of Susie and the Trap Tribe's influence in the area to actively contact the kobold tribes who were in an increasingly difficult situation. Several tribes were already interested in moving to the Black Well Tribe. .
This time, if I want to bring them over, it won't work if I try to do something else, so I have to do something real.
Whether it is an old grudge or to curb the development of the Black Well Tribe, the Blood Claw Tribe will not easily let these kobold tribes join the Black Well Tribe.
If two tribes are too close, it is only a matter of time before conflicts and wars break out.
Gavin knows this, and I believe Bloodclaw, the leader of the Bloodclaw tribe, also knows this.
However, the purpose of diving near Eagle Cliff this time was not to investigate the situation of the Blood Claw tribe, but for the mother tribe mentioned by Goss - the Eagle Cliff Cave.
This tribe is located in the cave under Eagle Cliff.
Now that the Black Well Tribe has reached its current scale, it can no longer work behind closed doors, but needs to establish a large number of diplomatic relations - with the kobolds.
Eagle Cliff Cave is the first one.
When Gavin arrived at Eagle Cliff with Goss and the goblin warlock Vic, it was already dusk, and a fierce war had just begun - an air battle.
On one side are the nest-builder harpies above Eagle Cliff, and on the other side are the burrower kobolds below Eagle Cliff.
Kobolds also have an air force.
A small number of kobolds are born with leather wings and have excellent flying abilities. These winged kobolds are also called od.
Gavin originally thought that Erd kobolds were very rare. After all, the Black Well tribe had developed so far, and he had yet to see an Erd. They were even rarer than kobold warlocks.
But the situation before him overturned his understanding.
All those flying around Eagle Cliff were these winged kobolds, numbering no less than two to three hundred. With the support of ground troops, they were circling Eagle Cliff, fighting guerrilla warfare against dozens of harpies.
When it comes to air combat capabilities, harpies are definitely superior. Their body structure is more suitable for flying, they have faster speeds, and their hands and feet have evolved into eagle claws, making it easier to claw.
But the kobold side not only has a numerical advantage, but also a terrain advantage.
The name of Yingya Cave is not just for boasting. They are about to dig Yingya into a honeycomb. They have dug countless holes into the irregular cylindrical cliff body.
Once those Erd kobolds realized something was wrong, they immediately retracted their leather wings and dived into a nearby cave. The harpies did not dare to chase in. Once they entered such a small space for close combat, they would not have any advantage.
Within a few minutes, the Erd kobold emerged from another hole, throwing stones and flapping his leather wings, and joined the battle again.
Obviously, these caves are connected internally.
The Harpy's sharpest weapon, the Song of Temptation, obviously has no effect on these kobolds.
Needless to say, these kobolds must have plugged their ears like Gavin and the others. If they didn't do this, the Erd kobolds would have fallen to the ground like dumplings.
Harpies are difficult to catch, loach-like Erd kobolds.
It would be difficult for the Erd kobolds to inflict fatal damage to the harpies with only daggers and stone throws, even if they accumulated a certain amount of damage. Those harpies turned around and flew back to the eagle's nest. Those winged harpies The kobolds didn't dare to chase.
No matter how you look at it, this seems like a daily harassment battle, and it has not developed to the level of a bloody battle regardless of life and death.
For the Erd kobolds, this error tolerance rate is obviously much lower. A slight mistake will be fatal.
An Erd kobold, after successfully sneaking up on a harpy, failed to dodge in time and was grabbed by the opponent on the leather wing. His flying posture was immediately affected.
The originally careless harpy immediately screamed and launched a sharp counterattack. It did not pounce directly on the Erd kobold, but flew to the nearest cave first, waiting for the Erd kobold to come to the door. .
Forced to have no choice, the Erd kobolds could only flee in other directions.
The harpy repeated her old tricks and made up her mind to prevent the little reptile from getting back into the dog hole. Soon, she would be able to enjoy a delicious dog meat meal.
The injured Erd kobold staggered and was forced farther and farther away from the Eagle Cliff Cave. In desperation, he could only fly downwards and try to return to the Eagle Cliff Cave through the hole in the ground.
The harpy chased after him with a cruel smile. Her expression was like that of a cat playing with a mouse. From time to time, it rushed up and struck with its claws.
The wounded Erd kobold hid in panic while gritting his teeth and refusing to let out any screams. He had been fighting with these cruel harpies for many years and was very aware of their sadistic nature. Any screams would only arouse them. More fun makes them more violent.
The wounded Erd kobold who was in desperate situation suddenly brightened up. Behind a huge rock below, there was a kobold leaning out half of his thin body and waving at him.
Are there tribesmen setting an ambush below?
The wounded Erd kobold could no longer care about so much and flew crookedly in that direction.
As long as it lands, as long as it lands, there is still hope of living.
Harpies have weak ground combat capabilities, and they will never get too close to the ground, especially after seeing other kobolds.
Not only the wounded Erd saw the kobold, but the harpy also saw it.
She stopped playing games and prepared for the final kill.
A strange smile that mixed holiness and cruelty appeared on her beautiful face. An extremely beautiful magical movement came out of her mouth, and the magic net trembled, sending this beautiful and seductive song to hundreds of people around her. Within the ears of every creature, many creatures that had been hiding in the darkness staggered out.
"Wake up." Gavin felt a small stab-like punch on his cheek, and he immediately came out of his dazed state.
The Song of Temptation certainly lives up to its reputation. Simply plugging the ears didn't completely block it.
If Gavin hadn't been punched by the spiritual crystal servant Arturia just now, their carefully designed ambush plan would have been shelved, and he would have been exposed to the harpy's claws. He believed that, according to his size, The face is definitely more attractive to the harpy than that of the injured Erd.
Gavin shuddered a little when he thought of the tragic ending of a man captured alive by a harpy - harpies do not have males, and their mating is accomplished by kidnapping the males of other humanoid races.
