Chapter 117 Irrational Emotions
Dagon met six students from the academy, including three elves and three humans. There were originally three dwarfs, but two of them were currently in Chimera's belly, and the third was in a bathtub filled with healing potions.
"Did the dwarves grow out of mud? Why did another one come?" A conspicuous boy wearing a bright red cavalry gown and almost drew a target on his chest and said with a smile. "But it doesn't make sense to come. Only the charge rifle can pierce Chimera's skin."
"It's stupid to aim at scales and skins." said an elf next to him with a giant bow. "Aim at the throat, or shoot through the eyes, and thrust the brain directly, and you only need one accurate attack to knock down Chimera."
"But in short, there is no need for dwarfs to get in the way." The man in red clothes said with a smile: "They have short legs and slow rushing. They only have some advantage in retreating because they are behind."
"Looking at him, I was so angry that I couldn't speak."
Dagon scratched his beard and was too lazy to care about their own entertainment. The six people on the other side were all students and had not graduated yet, so they were definitely not "elites". Not to mention whether wearing such bright red clothes on the battlefield was a target, just say that the most critical part of this action was to hide approaching and lurking, and that clothes were not suitable. What should the elf archer do if he hangs the bowstring when he is not fighting? He wasted the lifespan of the recurved bow and reduces its power. The most important thing is that if the deformation occurs, the accuracy of the archery will be quickly reduced.
If you can cooperate, then cooperate. If you can't cooperate, then do your own thing. A warrior cannot always think that the people around you are the same elite soldiers. Disciplined mercenaries, peasants and soldiers with no battlefield experience, and sick soldiers who are not accustomed to the local conditions are all possible situations. Dagon observes these people and estimates what impact they may have on the battle situation - whether it is good or bad - and then fight on this basis.
Shiloai came in from outside the door, and she had just sent away the satisfied and satisfied Earl. They changed to an inn, after all, the Golden Horn Inn was messed up by the Earl. The students gathered here to prepare for the last tactics to deal with Chimera.
"The magic circle covering the village of Berlin will disappear tomorrow, and Chimera's stomach should be hungry. I will set up bait in the south, thanks for the livestock provided by the Count." Shiloai said with a smile: "One day you will get familiar with each other and be prepared to move northward. At noon tomorrow, when the bait takes effect, we will set off immediately and head east toward Manlin."
"Are you going to enter Manlin?" asked Dagon.
"The dwarf doesn't like the jungle." said the elf, "Or don't take him with you."
"We didn't enter the Manlin, and Chimera did not choose to build a nest there for unknown reasons. Its nest is by the lake, close to a forest, but it was just a small hand that the Manlin stretched out to Mawang Bay. I have asked the Mana White Eagle to detect it, and the creatures there were scared away by the smell of Chimera, so it is unlikely that there will be disruption."
"How far is the woods from the nest? Can heavy crossbows be placed in the middle of the trees?" asked Dagon.
"The closest distance is fifty meters, and you can put down a heavy crossbow."
Fifty meters is not a good number. Hesitant to see the hardness of Chimera scales and skin with his own eyes, Dagon hopes to put the heavy crossbow on Chimera's body and shoot, otherwise he will always worry that the power is not enough.
"Just hide in the woods, don't come out to get in the way." The man in red dress had no idea why he was so hostile, so he shook his finger at Dagon. "If I don't give the order, you'd better not shoot, so as not to hurt us by chance."
"Are you sick?" Dagon said, touching his beard, "Are you here to kill Chimera or to embarrass you?"
The man in red stood up with a smile, slowly began to take off his gloves, and said, "Finally, I thought that all the dwarves in the world were cowards. It would be best if you could speak back, and I could challenge you to fight."
"Sit back!" Shiloai waved his hand, and a strong airflow blew the man back into his seat. "I will deduct your credits from the loss of personnel outside of Chimera's battle!"
"At most, five credits will be deducted, and even ten more anger will be the ones. I handed it over for him." The elf holding the giant bow said to Hiloai with a smile: "I think that if you can clear out the useless dwarfs, the rest can complete the task better."
Dagon shook his head and sighed. Is this the style and atmosphere of the academy? He no longer has any hope for the academy. In the past, he just heard that the Jiangu people were rejected, and the elves were the masterminds, and humans were the pioneers. Now he has seen it. Perhaps the elite academy does have knowledge and can learn something, but is this kind of atmosphere good for the Jiangu people?
"Ri Liqi, I will deduct you ten credits first." Shiloai snorted and said, "Dinma, if you want to start the duel, you have to pay the fee first. My Chimera project is worth twenty-two credits. You pay me this first. Then you can do whatever you want and be the commander."
"Twenty-two..." The man in red dress shook his head: "I don't have that many credits."
"Can you get command in twenty-two credits?" said the elf holding the giant bow: "I don't want all the credits this year, I can afford them. Shiloai, I'll give you thirty-two credits, this time you have to listen to me, I think it's a good deal!"
She waved her hand as she said, and the other two elves took out parchment paper and ink pens for her. Dagon glanced at it, and exquisite and complex patterns were printed on the parchment paper in advance, leaving several spaces.
Shiloai folded his arms and looked at the three elves with a sneer on his face. Rui Liqi picked up the ink pen and began to fill in the contents in the blank. She signed her name, filled in thirty-two credits, and then prepared to write the reason for this credit transaction in the notes column. When she arrived here, she suddenly smiled, put the pen down, and said, "I won't be fooled! I won't give you a single credit!"
"What a pity, what a good opportunity." Shiloai snorted, as if he had known the result. "Since no one robbed command, then gather in the yard outside before noon tomorrow. I will give each of you a bottle of stealth potion and scent potion. Dagon, you are responsible for the dwarf's heavy crossbow, all in the car, and two horses."
"Can you change it to a donkey?" said Dagon. "I asked Geros, who said that donkeys are stupider, less likely to be frightened, and more likely to be comforted with food."
"Yes, I can ask the count to send two donkeys. Anyway, you are responsible for the car, crossbow, donkey or horse."
Dagon shook his head: "No count, I just need two from the caravan. I don't know how to control animals, so I might have to ask for another helper."
"Why are there so many things about this dwarf?" The elf Rui Liqi shook his hand hard and made a driving gesture, "Just do it yourself, you're useless anyway."
"If you want command, you still owe me twenty-two credits." Shiloai raised his hand, his index finger was like a letter spitting out by a white snake, pointing to the parchment on the table next to him: "Keep it, I welcome you to sign it at any time. Oh, by the way, you need to copy it in two copies, and signing only one is useless. If you want to pretend, please at least pretend to be a little bit."
"You..." Rui Liqi pursed her lips in time.
Dagon felt that Chimera would probably survive this time, but he really didn't want the four-headed monster to continue to do evil. Obviously, the three elves and three humans in front of him could not become comrades, and Shiloai seemed to have no good way to deal with them. Dagon even felt that the three Jiangu people chose to face Chimera, is it also related to these six bastards?
"I'm going to prepare." Dagon stood up, nodded to Shiloai, and left the room occupied by other races. Outside, the air became fresher, the sun became brighter, and life seemed to be more meaningful.
A four-wheeled carriage was parked in the yard, and the carriage boards were removed, so it was four wheels and a flat plate. Two heavy crossbows were placed on this car, and four horses were resting lazily on the sink of the stable. Shiloai said that there was originally a car here, and there was a heavy crossbow on it, but it was taken away by three dwarfs. Unless the guy in the bathtub could wake up and take it to search, Dagon could only rely on the car and two crossbows in front of him.
The heavy crossbow was exposed to the sun, and the canvas was thrown aside, with a yellow dog lying on it. Dagon climbed into the car and began to check the heavy crossbow. The yellow dog sat up, folded his feet in front of him, and looked at him curiously.
The dwarf heavy crossbow seems to be a little old. The heat of the sun makes the steel crossbow body a little hot, which will definitely cause some parts to expand and deform. Fortunately, the main mechanism of the heavy crossbow is in a relaxed state, the most important crossbow string is not installed, and the parts of the tension mechanism are also empty, otherwise...
"You can't treat weapons like that foolish elf." Dagon looked down and found a box with special accessories in a corner of the car board. The lock on it was smashed open, and the parts inside were turned, but they were not thrown away. Crossbow strings, reinforcement ribs, fixing bolts, ammunition...
No, it's still a little less. The standard ammunition should be thirty rounds, and there are only twenty rounds here, which means there are only ten shots for each crossbow. Dagon scratched his head and felt that the number was a bit small.
"It was taken away by the other three Jiangu people." Shiloai walked over, his pink and white hair seemed to be reflecting in the sun.
"Let me guess, is the heavy crossbow on the other car assembled?"
"Yes. The three of them couldn't assemble, so they only took the car. The keys for these parts were at my place, and they secretly smashed the lock and took some of the ammunition. I was looking for the car, but there was no clue at all. I didn't even know where they encountered Chimera attacks."
"Twenty rounds of ammunition are a bit insufficient," said Dagon.
"The other car was loaded with a crossbow and two sets of such accessories." Shiloai said: "Can this box hold a crossbow?"
"If you use all spare parts, you should be able to assemble two sets of them. But even if you have five sets of crossbows, I am not optimistic about this action."
