Big! So big!

Ugly! So damn ugly!

This was Herbert's first impression when they saw a strange creature like a troll.

They are generally more than nine feet (three meters) tall, almost twice the height of ordinary people. Even if you don't stand in front of them, they still give people an inexplicable sense of intimidation, and they are extremely incompatible with human beings, or in other words, big ones.

The aesthetics of some humanoid creatures.

Although trolls and frost giants belong to the same class of giants, it is unknown whether it is due to living in a humid environment for a long time. Their bodies appear shriveled without much fat, like skin and bones, but there are many places on their bodies that are enough to cause intensive fear.

The disgusting tumor-like object that caused the patient to die suddenly on the spot was unknown whether it was caused by parasites.

And because of their dry skin, their teeth are basically exposed, so no matter what their mood is, they always give people a malicious and ferocious smile, paired with their slender and droopy noses.

, enough for anyone to tell at a glance that this creature is evil and chaotic.

But be ugly, they are not here for a blind date, but for hunting trophies.

After a cursory look around, just as the company commander "prophet bear boy" Ralph "predicted" when he sat down, there should be no problem with a troll in his early twenties.

"Everyone disperse! Act according to the established plan!"

Following Herbert's order, the twenty teams that had originally gathered together quickly scattered around, and some even climbed into the trees like nimble monkeys.

According to the information they received from the mage masters, although this creature is huge, its movements are not slow. If they shoot in groups, they can easily be attacked at close range.

Those trolls obviously did not expect to encounter so many humans in such a place, and after taking a quick glance at the place where there was no troublesome guy wearing a hat and a stick, they all showed excited smiles on their faces.

I originally thought there was only one escaped 'monkey', but now so many have appeared. If they were all brought back, the shaman and chiefs would be happy. After offering their heads, they would be able to share a lot of meat.

.

That way we don't have to spend our days eating each other's limbs like in the winter.

Although the eaten limbs can always grow back, it will be very painful and will cause a long period of weakness.

Just when both sides regarded the other as their own, with the sound of bowstrings, the relative silence in the forest was instantly broken by the sound of flaming arrows piercing the air.

The arrowheads of these arrows had been immersed in a flammable 'black oil' found in the Underdark.

Levi, who was first reported to the police, thought he had found oil in this world, and was excited about it for a long time. However, after research and analysis by the mages, it turned out that it was just a kind of colloid secreted by a fungus.

To a certain extent, it is equivalent to their excrement.

Originally, Levi was a little disdainful of this stuff, but this time in order to improve the new army's chances of winning against the trolls, Zelandia specially asked Zelandia to collect a batch.

After all, it is for the new troops to undergo trials, not for them to line up to deliver food.

Those trolls were not stupid either. They seemed to be naturally sensitive to flames. After seeing the flames rising from the arrows, they immediately screamed and hid behind the tree trunks.

In an instant, there was the dull sound of arrows hitting the tree trunks.

However, the trolls were generally larger in size. Even if they shrank their heads behind tree trunks, they were still shot into their bodies by many arrows. They immediately let out bursts of painful howls and kept trying to extinguish the sparks on their bodies.

And this kind of pain seemed to annoy them a little. They started to cover their eyes with wooden sticks in their hands or directly raised their long arms, and charged at them. Some even lifted rocks or pulled out the simple javelins behind them and still responded.

Fight back.

There were constant faint roars in the air, and arrows with flaming arrows were shot into the forest. You could often see the tree trunks where the New Army soldiers were hiding being shot out by the trolls, and most of them collapsed on the spot.

The power of this was comparable to that of a bed crossbow. Some recruits were even suppressed by the violent firepower and were unable to lift their heads.

‘Fuck! He’s not as stupid as he looks.’

Herbert was obviously not satisfied with such unsatisfactory results.

Immediately, he no longer hesitated. While commanding each team to focus on the trolls who were trying to rush into their crowd, he took out the Demon-Splitting Repeater Crossbow, which was only equipped with two in each company, from behind, and aimed at a

The big guy with the javelin in his hand pulled the trigger.

A dull sound broke through the forest.

The targeted troll seemed to have sensed the crisis in advance, but the rate of fire of this giant crossbow was too fast!

Puff!

He had tried his best to avoid the critical part of his heart, but he was still hit in the chest by the crossbow arrow. His entire huge body was staggered back by the huge impact.

But it's not over yet.

Accompanied by a terrifying explosion, extremely violent flames instantly engulfed the troll's body, and it seemed as if flames were spurting out from all its seven orifices, burning everything.

A burning smell instantly filled the air.

Herbert's brown hair was also flying in the hot wind coming from the pavement. Seeing his "dazzling" victory, he felt extremely heartbroken.

This is an enchanted exploding arrow.

According to his impression of magic items, such an exploding arrow could probably cover his salary for two to three years.

But now is not the time to worry about money.

The troll completely exceeded his expectations in both strength and speed. He even did not dare to easily try to receive the troll's full blow. Although he should not die suddenly on the spot, he would still be missing an arm or a leg.

I'm afraid the probability is extremely high.

He didn't want to break his leg again on such an occasion. By then, his title of "Cripple" would be confirmed.

Taking advantage of the gap when his repeating crossbow was automatically rewinding, he raised his hand and used a tactical action command to signal another squad leader under his command who was holding a Demon-Splitting Repeating Crossbow to shoot.

There was another sound of breaking wind.

What everyone didn't expect was that this inevitable blow was dodged by the charging troll with a sharp head tilt! However, it turned a similar creature behind it into a torch.

"Roar!!!"

The strongest troll immediately rushed in front of the confused team leader and swiped away with a fierce palm. Suddenly, a warrior carrying a large shield rushed out from beside him and stood in front of him.

With a heart-breaking sound of shattering, the two of them immediately flew out like kites with broken strings. They hit the tree trunk hard and then fell to the ground. Thin lines of blood oozed from their ears, nose, and mouth, and they struggled for a moment.

He couldn't get up, and he probably had at least several broken bones.

The crazed troll was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and kill two of them first, when a loud shout sounded from above him.

"Hey! Big man! Try the hammer!"

I saw a gray dwarf smashing into the troll's head like a beast coming down the mountain.

【Thunder Strike】!

Half of the troll's head was smashed into pieces, and he was immediately left with a bloody mess.

But what shocked everyone was that this big man who had lost most of his head was like a headless fly, continuing to wave his two giant claws based on instinct.

Moreover, its head seemed to be experiencing extremely high temperatures and was constantly steaming. The muscle tissue on the edge of the fracture actually began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seems that as long as you give him some time, this monster can grow another head.

"The undead! This is the legendary undead, hey he lame, company commander! I knocked a troll to death, no, not completely. I'll give him a few more hammers."

The hammer that knocked this 'immortal' to pieces stared curiously at his trophy.

"Don't worry about it, it won't grow a head that fast. After you deal with the other trolls, just pour a little slime acid on his neck."

Herbert shouted loudly, then aimed at the next unlucky guy and turned it into a second torch.

Seeing that several trolls fell one after another in less than a moment of the short confrontation, these trolls finally realized something was wrong. One of them suddenly made a strange cry, and then all the trolls stopped entangled with the humans and began to move in the opposite direction.

Retreat deep into the forest.

"Fuck! These guys want to run away! Kill them! Otherwise, Dafa will lose you!"

Herbert also shouted depressedly.

At this point in this hunting operation, there is basically no suspense anymore.

But when they started to pursue, and when they were aiming the giant crossbow behind the next target, they were surprised to find that not far behind the trolls, there was another humanoid creature, and a seriously injured half-elf.

Fighting to the death with them.

There were several trolls who seemed to be preparing to take away this "female monkey" who looked more "bullying" before retreating.

Herbert immediately aimed at one of them and decisively pulled the trigger.

But it still seems a little too late?

In the eternal wild forest.

Alline, who was already injured, faced the troll's heavy interceptions and decisively pulled out the dagger.

As an 11th-level high-level ranger, her advantages are her high mobility as a ranger and her excellent and precise archery skills.

Facing a lone troll, she can easily kill it. Facing two trolls at the same time, she can also deal with them with some effort.

When she reaches three heads, she will obviously start to feel tired, and will usually turn around and run away without hesitation, using her agile and quick steps and archery skills to make the trolls who are trying to pursue lose interest.

But in front of me, there were more than twenty heads, as if they were a small tribe.

This means that when she faces a dense offensive, as long as she makes an evasive error, she will be defeated.

Regardless of the strength or physique of the ranger, he is completely unable to compete head-on with a creature like the troll in close combat!

But just when she thought she was going to die today, and was desperately preparing to commit suicide, the half-elf ear that she had always thought was a curse suddenly moved, and it captured some distant movements.
