Gavin was shocked by the power of the half-dragon attribute template.
This half-blue dragon was not shocked by the monster's extraordinary transformation.
The opponent's ability to transform into a half-dragon is by no means something he can do originally. If he could, he would have used it from the beginning, so why delay it until the middle of the battle.
Instead, during the battle, he constantly imitates his own physical condition and undergoes on-the-spot transformation.
What he has shown is not only his powerful ability, but also his unimaginable learning ability.
The half-dragon body has always been something he is proud of, because it is an innate talent and ability. If you are born with it, you have it, and if you don't have it, you don't have it.
At least that's what he thought until a few minutes ago, but Gavin told him based on the actual situation that using some special spells, he could imitate their physical condition.
Even though his psychological quality was extremely strong, he also suffered a big impact.
This directly made him determined to stay with this young man and explore the secrets of this magic. If he could bring this magic back to the clan, he believed that he would receive the highest gift.
"Moremi clan? Are you born from the blood of Moremi?" Gavin couldn't help but look at the half-blue dragon warrior again, and sure enough, he saw traces of hobgoblin characteristics in him.
He is a cross between a blue dragon and a hobgoblin, a half-blue dragon hobgoblin.
The Blood of Moremi is a very famous dragonborn organization in the North, especially around the Silver Moon Alliance. They originated from the legendary blue dragon Moremi. The entire organization is composed entirely of blue dragons, half-blue dragon hobgoblins and dragon-veined hobgoblins.
They have been entrenched in the Nese Mountains for thousands of years, and they have been living there before the Silver Moon Alliance was established.
Even after the Silver Moon Alliance was formed, they did not dare to provoke this organization easily, because no one knew how many half-dragons and dragon-veins those blue dragons had raised over the years - whether they were half-dragons or dragon-veined hobgoblins, They are all immortal species. The richer the dragon's bloodline, the longer their life span.
Theoretically, a half-dragon has half the lifespan of a giant dragon. Pushing down according to the algebra, the lower limit is the maximum lifespan of another parent race.
Another reason why this organization can be neighbors with the Silver Moon Alliance for a long time is that the lawful part of their temperament is dominant. Although they also have a lot of desire for expansion, it is not in the territory, but in the blood.
They often use troops against the Eternal Wilderness or cross the Supreme Forest to attack the Supreme Wilderness, plundering a large number of female hobgoblins from here as breeding stock, and raising more half-blue dragon hobgoblins and dragon-veined hobgoblins.
This effectively suppresses the number of hobgoblin tribes in the Eternal Wilderness and the Supreme Wilderness, which is extremely beneficial to the surrounding human cities.
Many things have two sides, even those evil organizations.
"Your Excellency, have you heard of the Blood of Moremi?" A trace of pride appeared on the half-blue dragon's face, which was not good at expressing emotions. When he revealed the name of the Moremi clan to Gavin, he He has no intention of hiding his true origin.
However, introducing this kind of thing to someone by yourself is far less satisfying than if the other person has heard of it before.
"I've only heard of it. Organizations like yours that are purely composed of dragonborn are rare. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet one today, and in this way." Gavin said thoughtfully, " If you join this slave trading group, it won't be a clan mission, right?"
"That's right." The half-blue dragon hobgoblin readily admitted, "The hobgoblins on the Giant Plains, especially the gigantic hobgoblins, are very unique. We are trying to use them to cultivate more powerful descendants. This slave trading group has dealt with Our Moremi clan has the first right to purchase hobgoblin slaves, especially the giant hobgoblin slaves."
Gavin showed an expression that was true. This half-dragon hobgoblin was an out-and-out quasi-legend.
Based on the combat prowess he has shown before, he is a character who can be taken up and put down wherever he goes. It is very abnormal to condescend to a slave trading group and be used as a sentinel, unless the other party has no choice but to Reasons to stay here.
If it comes from a clan mission, it's perfectly normal.
Even if it hadn't happened today, it would have been a matter of time before this half-blue dragon hobgoblin surrendered to him.
Compared to this kind of slave trade, it would be more convenient to cooperate with myself, the controller of the Giant Plains.
Knowing that the other party did not want anything else, Gavin felt more relieved and said to the half-blue dragon: "If this is the case, I think we can find common interests. We will discuss it in detail later. Before that, please Help me uproot this slave-trading ring, and from now on, they will no longer have a foothold here."
"No problem." The half-blue dragon grinned slightly and said with a ferocious smile, "I have wanted to do this for a long time. Now that I have a better partner, there is no need for this kind of dung to exist in this world. In addition to Yilip, I also know their secret lairs and warehouses in other cities. As long as you are willing, I can lead you to take them all down."
His behavior was so normal that it wasn't even considered a betrayal, because his loyalty from beginning to end was not dedicated to the Basilisk Human Slavery Group, but to his own clan.
When he discovered the enemy before, he raised the alarm, which was an act of kindness and justice.
Now that a new deal had been negotiated, the slave trade group no longer had any value to him.
"That's the best." Gavin said happily.
The battle to seize the ship did not stop because of the duel between the two. The sailors led by General Copperfield followed closely after the hobgoblin giant boarded the ship.
After all the slave-trading sailors on the deck were wiped out, they did not rush into the cabin to engage in close combat. Instead, the female mage who accompanied the team directly tore up several Death Cloud Spell scrolls, allowing a large number of The green poison got into the cabin.
Even spells don't all depend on level, but rather on the unique environment in which they are used.
In some environments, even some low-level spells can be more powerful than high-level spells.
This is the case when the Death Cloud Technique is used to seize a ship.
The characteristics of poisonous clouds that are heavier than air make them start to gather towards low-lying areas, and the characteristics of gas make them pervasive.
And the entire cabin is a sealed space - this tightness is mainly for the outside. Unless it is a special water-tight cabin, the internal tightness is not that high.
The effective way to deal with it is the dispel magic of spellcasters.
In this situation, it is impossible for that kind of spell caster to huddle in the cabin and wait to die. Those who have the ability to cast dispel magic will naturally have the ability to cast any door. They have left the cabin as soon as possible and fled for their lives.
The following situation also illustrates this point. Many slave trading sailors who were ready to fight to the death in the cabin opened the cabin and rushed out despite the poisonous fog.
Most of the hobgoblin giants squatted here and waited, but this time they did not kill them all, but tied up those who were willing to kneel down and surrender. Only those who tried to resist were cut in half with a knife.
Seeing that the other party began to accept surrender, more slave trading sailors rushed out and knelt down to surrender. Although they did not know what tragic fate would await them next, it was better than being poisoned alive.
A slave trader with a cunning face said loudly: "I have important information to report, and there is... ah..."
Before the slave trader could finish speaking, he was slapped. The power of the hobgoblin giant was so great that it shattered his entire jaw, leaving him unable to speak at all.
The hobgoblin giant said in a rough voice: "Shut up, do you have the right to speak here? It's already a mercy for me to spare your lives!"
The surrounding slave traders suddenly fell silent, with their shoulders slumped and their necks lowered, not daring to be clever anymore. There were many smart people among them who knew what the slave trader just wanted to say.
It's just that there are slaves imprisoned in the cabin.
This kind of indiscriminate spell will kill them all together, but these killing gods don't want to know this news at all.
Since you don't know, you naturally act without any scruples. When you find out that the slaves are dead, you won't blame them, but the slave traders.
This is war. If there is no simple method, they must sacrifice the lives of a large number of soldiers in exchange for final victory.
Compared to the lives of slaves they had never met, the conqueror's army cared more about the lives of its own soldiers. This was something that was already acquiesced when formulating the tactics. Even the stubborn and conservative General Copperfield seemed not to have thought of it. There is a possibility.
In the first three minutes after the Death Cloud Technique was executed, slave traders came out. After that, even the movement in the cabin became smaller.
It was not until ten minutes later that the duration of the Death Cloud Spell expired. After the magical poison cloud dissipated automatically, General Copperfield led the Tessel sailors and rushed into the cabin.
In that kind of cramped environment, the hobgoblin giants have no use and can only rely on these ordinary sailors.
The Death Cloud Technique is brutal enough to deal with these ordinary soldiers in such a closed environment. There are basically no people below the extraordinary who can resist for ten minutes with their physical strength. Above the extraordinary, even if they can survive, they will be severely poisoned, and their combat effectiveness is only The remaining 20 to 30% were no match for the swarms of Tethyr sailors, and they were overwhelmed by long-range attacks alone.
Even the slave traders who refused to defend themselves in the sealed cabin did not cause as much trouble as imagined.
A wood-shaping spell can open a big hole in the cabin or twist the door.
If the resistance inside is too strong, just throw another Death Cloud Technique into it.
If there are only three or two people left, then directly launch a strong attack.
Both tactics had no chance to show off their power. Once they found that the sealed cabin could not stop the enemy, the slave traders inside knelt down and prayed for surrender on the spot.
General Copperfield quickly emerged from the cabin, hurried to Gavin's side and said: "Sir, there is still a little trouble. I need to trouble you to take action personally. There are several small leaders of the slave trading group who got in. Enter the isolation room where the pirate turbine is located and make a request to let them leave, otherwise the pirate turbine will be destroyed."
Gavin couldn't help but laugh and said: "There are really stupid idiots in this world who have beaten them to this extent. Haven't you seen that kneeling down and surrendering is their only way out? Okay, leave it to me. Bar!"
In this regard, he does have advantages that ordinary warriors do not have.
When he entered the cabin, the fighting here was basically over, and the Teser soldiers were carefully finishing the poisoned slave traders to ensure that they were really dead.
In several rooms, there were not only slave traders lying in them, but also the corpses of slaves who had been turned into playthings.
Gavin couldn't help but let out a sigh. Wherever there is a war, there will inevitably be accidental injuries. The only thing he can do is to ensure that such accidental injuries are controlled within a certain range.
"Let us go, tell your leader, let us go, otherwise we will destroy the pirate turbine. This thing is worth a lot of money, don't you feel sad?"
"You are not allowed to get close, and no one is allowed to get close. You cannot destroy the door as fast as we can destroy the turbine."
"When someone comes out to speak, I will count fifty. If there is no reply, it will be our fault."
The voices coming from the sealed cabin were somewhat hysterical, and the requests made were not very rational. They did not consider how they would leave even if the other party agreed to their deal.
No wonder General Copperfield asked him to take action. Such people are the most terrifying. It's not that their combat power is terrible, but the damage they cause is terrible. Once desperate, they will do things that harm others and not benefit themselves.
Gavin no longer hesitated, directly covered himself with the shadow cloak, entered the invisible state, then activated the fairy step, and flashed directly into the secret room.
He has completed the attunement with the enchantment key captured from the Evil Beast Ghost, and the no-flying, no-teleportation, and no-sneaking here are no longer useful to him.
After entering the secret room, Gavin didn't stop and went straight to the slave trader closest to the pirate turbine.
There are a total of four slave traders who are resisting here. They are not low in strength and have at least ten professional levels. However, they are all pure warriors and have not seen through Gavin's stealth method at all.
By the time the first slave trader who was attacked realized something was wrong, his head was already flying in the air.
Gavin didn't even look at him. With an elf step, he arrived behind another slave trader and struck him with another horizontal slash, cutting him in half on the spot. At the same time, the roar of death also sounded, directly killing him. The third slave trader's head was blasted into a rotten watermelon.
As for the fourth slave trader, he collapsed to the ground, unable to even lift his sword. Huge fear took over his body and mind.
Three attacks ended the lives of three companions whose strength was almost the same as his. From the beginning to the end, the enemy only briefly revealed its silhouette when launching an attack. Such an enemy was simply not something they could fight against.
Gavin didn't waste any time and directly rewarded the slave trader with a peanut so that he could atone for his sins.
The enemies I faced before were all powerful enemies, and I didn’t feel much about them.
Facing these ordinary slave traders this time, Gavin just realized how obvious his advantage was. He could outwit them with just one or two abilities.
And this ghost cloak is so useful. No wonder the market price has soared to 40,000 gold coins, and demand still exceeds supply.
As long as the cloak is on, even an ordinary person can become a dangerous assassin or a skilled thief, let alone in the hands of those who are warriors.
If there is excess productivity in the future, we should continue to increase investment in production in this area. It will not only be used for selling, but mainly used to arm some special combatants. If those reconnaissance rangers have one manpower, both in terms of investigation capability and safety factor, they will be greatly improved. will be greatly improved.
"Is it over so soon?"
"That's it, why don't you look at who will take action? Lord, you can't deal with these little thieves by hand!"
"Lord, you are mighty!"
When Gavin pulled down his hood to lose his invisibility, opened the door and walked out of the secret room, there was unconcealable reverence in the eyes of the Tethyr sailors.
What was a difficult problem for them was as simple as drinking cold water for this man with a reputation as a conqueror.
Compared with the countless miracles and brilliance they witnessed along the way, all of this seemed to be natural.
Gavin greeted them with a smile, his figure flickered, and two goblin steps appeared directly on the deck.
Because he sensed that someone was waiting for him on the deck. It was Veranika, the commander-in-chief who attacked the other two three-masted warships. The war there must have ended and she came to report the results to him.
Before Gavin could ask, Veranika said with a smile on her face: "General Copperfield's prediction was correct. The two ships we attacked were all auxiliary ships, and the soldiers stationed on them were of limited strength. , unable to fight back under our powerful offensive.
Only a dozen of our own were slightly wounded and none were killed.
More than 180 slave traders were captured and more than 100 slaves were rescued.
The two armed sailing ships have been completely controlled by our sailors and are ready to set sail at any time. Please give the next instructions to the lord. "
"Ten hobgoblin giants were left in each ship, and the three three-masted sailing ships were all commanded by General Copperfield. They followed Sarold to other cities and captured the members of the Basilisk slave trading group before the remnants of the party got the news. Sweep out all the secret lairs and warehouses for me.”
Gavin said without thinking, "The others and I will escort all the captured slave traders ashore. According to the original plan, Yilip will be captured before dawn."
"As you command." Everyone responded in unison.
Only Villanica took another look at the half-blue dragon hobgoblin, doubting the loyalty of the person who had just surrendered.
But Gavin was not the kind of imprudent person. Since he had given him enough trust, he must have had his own reasons or means, so he didn't interrupt too much.
After handing over the captured slave traders to their ordinary men, Gavin and Veranika returned to the shore with more than twenty hobgoblin giants, and joined the remaining hobgoblin wolf cavalry led by Thomas to attack Ilip. This thing is beyond imagination simple.
