Chapter 113 The First Servant
Chapter 114 The First Slave
"Dib, it's probably not enough to just be vigilant. If we can't eliminate the doubts in the hearts of the tribesmen, the blood food we capture will become less and less. At that time, the three-headed snake god Kumera will disappear from the protection of our tribe! Then when the black tide comes."
Fingat said in his unique hoarse voice.
"Hiss!" The faces of the middle and high-level fishmen warriors changed immediately.
This situation has never happened when the old fishmen prophet was there, but with the great loss of the tribe's strength this time, there will be a situation where there is not enough blood food.
"Then what do you say, Fingart!" Faced with Fingart's obvious sabotage, Dib suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.
"You can't just talk and not do anything. Tomorrow, I will lead the tribe's warriors to search for the missing tribesmen team. I want to see them alive or dead! Eliminating the fear of the tribesmen is the most important thing!"
——
At this time, Richard was thinking about a problem. The internal fighting of the fishmen seemed to be a good opportunity.
The fish prophet can speak Akkadian, a wizard language widely circulated in ancient times. It can be reasonably inferred that the two prophet disciples, Dib and Fingart, must also speak Akkadian to some extent.
So can I reach a cooperation with one of them?
Richard thought, folded his arms and paced back and forth in the cave.
The specific plan was constantly studied in his mind. After a while, Richard had roughly thought of a plan, but the specific content still needed to be carefully considered.
——
The next morning, Richard, who had just completed a cycle of Rodrigo's meditation method, received a warning from the Soul Devouring Spider in his mind, saying that a large number of fish warriors began to search around the fish camp.
Richard was immediately delighted when he heard it. What he thought came true.
There must be a commander for such a large operation of the fish tribe. If the commander happens to be one of the two disciples of the old fish prophet.
Obviously, the whereabouts of the high-level magic stone will be known with a high probability.
This was also part of Richard's plan last night. In the best case, he would capture or kill the fishman prophet's disciple alive.
Of course, Richard also considered that if it didn't work, a high-level fishman warrior would also work, but there would be more subsequent links and the whole process would be more troublesome.
Immediately, Richard walked out of the cave and planned to confirm who was the commander of the other team?
With a wave of the White Bone Summoning Staff, as the light green light on the ground lit up, two skeleton archers and skeleton berserkers crawled out of the reverse pentagram magic circle. Richard took the skeleton guards guarding the cave entrance, and a group of five people immediately rushed to the direction of the Soul Devouring Spider.
When approaching the fishman, Richard arranged a skeleton archer to hide in an extremely thick dragon fern tree. The trunk was tens of meters high, the branches were intertwined, and the leaves were wide. If the fishman warriors under the tree did not look up attentively, they would not be able to find the skeleton archer hidden in it.
After the placement, Richard avoided the search of the fishman from a distance.
Soon, a large number of fishmen warriors searched the area in scattered groups. Richard quickly found a gray-robed fishman suspected to be a disciple of the fishman prophet through the zero-level witchcraft undead vision and the vision of the skeleton archer on the treetop.
This made Richard overjoyed. He thought that this action would most likely be carried out by a high-level fishman warrior, but he didn't expect that the only two prophet disciples would also be dispatched.
This made Richard's plan directly tend to the best!
Now, I just don't know if it's Dib or Fingat?
Richard continued to observe through the undead vision. As the gray-robed fishman gradually approached, his face gradually became clear.
But to be honest, in the eyes of humans, the appearance of most fishmen is difficult to distinguish, which is probably the same difficulty as distinguishing humans from fishmen.
However, compared with the difference in the dress of the two prophet disciples in the memory of the double-bladed fishman before, Richard can basically conclude that the gray-robed fishman in front of him should be Fingat, not Dieter.
Because one of Dieter's signature features is a fishbone staff that is very similar to the fishman prophet.
And Fingart is holding a short staff, and the gray-robed fishman in front of him is holding a short staff.
Now that the target has been determined, the problem facing Richard now is how to capture or kill the opponent alive.
There are nearly thirty or forty fishman warriors in front of him, and they are numerous and powerful. If Richard fights hard, it cannot be said that there is no chance, but the risk and loss will be relatively large.
Richard's mind turned, and he immediately had a general idea.
Quickly coming to a nearby valley, Richard buried a bundle of Fire Dance Stars and Silver Moon Dust in the bushes at the entrance of the valley and carefully covered it.
This location is the only way to enter this valley.
Richard tied two tubes of Fire Dance Stars to the arrows of two skeleton archers, and then hid them on the high slopes on both sides of the valley.
He took the Skeleton Berserker and the Skeleton Guardian and waited in a secret place hundreds of meters away from the valley.
After everything was arranged, Richard ordered the Soul Devouring Demon Spider to control the Shell Octopus, quickly killed an ordinary fishman warrior, and dragged its body slowly into the valley.
After a while, the fishman warriors found that someone was missing, and quickly followed the Shell Octopus's trail to the entrance of the valley.
After a conversation, several double-bladed fishmen led the way, followed by dozens of ordinary fishmen, and rushed into the valley aggressively, while the gray-robed fishman and another senior fishman warrior were at the end.
At this time, many fishmen warriors had already discovered the back-shelled octopus that killed their compatriots, and were fighting with the back-shelled octopus controlled by the Soul Devouring Demon Spider. The back-shelled octopus, with its thick skin and flesh, was not afraid of the attack of such ordinary fishmen warriors.
Whether it was arrows or swords, they were all bounced off by the tough epidermis when they chopped on its thick skin.
If the double-bladed fishmen could chop it, it would scratch its skin a little, but it would not be far from breaking its bones.
The fishmen warriors also relied on their numbers and fearlessly besieged the back-shelled octopus, probably thinking that after the prophet's disciples and senior tribesmen warriors arrived, they could quickly kill the "culprit" in front of them.
"It seems that this should be the culprit for the disappearance of the tribe team the day before yesterday. However, monsters like the back shell octopus usually come out to look for food at night. How come this one came out during the day? It's really strange." Fingart said to the senior fishman warrior beside him.
"Gru, it seems that you have to take action. Wait a minute, I will cast witchcraft on this back shell octopus to reduce its defense! Later, it depends on you." Fingart looked at Gru encouragingly and said.
"Yes, Lord Fingart!" Gru patted his chest heavily.
After that, Gru, who was tall and holding a big knife in his hand, took a big step and went out!
And those ordinary fishman warriors who were besieging the back shell octopus immediately separated a passage from the middle to allow the senior fishman warrior named Gru to join the battle.
Richard saw it and his eyes lit up. The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.
Suddenly, on the high slope on one side of the valley, a skeleton archer stood up abruptly and shot an extremely accurate arrow at Fingat, who was casting some kind of witchcraft to reduce the defense of the back shell octopus. The tip of the arrow was faintly red.
Fingat immediately noticed the arrow and immediately interrupted the spell. A huge water ball suddenly emerged around him and wrapped himself in it.
"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded!
This sudden explosion sound came from the back, causing many fishmen warriors in the battle in front to look back in a hurry. They saw their own prophet disciple Fingat walking out of the water ball with a calm expression, and his robes were not damaged at all. They immediately felt relieved.
"Over there!" Without Fingat's command, a double-bladed fishman took the initiative to lead several ordinary fishmen warriors to rush to the skeleton archer who had just shot the arrow.
Suddenly, there was another sharp sound of breaking through the air from the other side. This time, Fingat's eyes flashed with a trace of panic, and he rushed forward quickly in a bit of embarrassment.
He had just used up the defensive magic in his short staff.
"Boom!" There was another violent explosion, which caused the senior fishman warrior named Gru to stop waving his sword and turn his head to look at Fingart in surprise without paying attention to the shell octopus.
This time, Fingart was no longer as calm as before. He had a head of grass and his gray robe was splashed with mud.
Richard, who was hiding and observing, felt relieved and thought to himself, "That's it, and he's a third-level wizard apprentice. It seems that he doesn't even have two magic props!"
These two arrows were a test to test how strong the prophet's disciple is, so as to make subsequent plans, but obviously, the opponent's strength is weaker than Richard expected.
The two explosions caused a small number of fishman warriors who were fighting with the shell octopus in front to come back and closely guard the prophet's disciple Fingart, and their concentrated location happened to be near the bomb buried by Richard.
Now, it's Richard's turn to appear!
"Swish!" A sharp sound of breaking through the air came, and the fishmen present sighed heavily in their hearts as they watched the steel arrows that obviously missed and hit the bushes.
But the next second.
"Boom!!!" A much more violent explosion than before came, and where dozens of fishmen had stood, there was only a huge pit several meters deep and more than ten meters in diameter.
Most of the fishmen warriors guarding next to Fingart were blown to pieces, and a few were still wailing with broken hands and feet.
Even though Fingart had defensive witchcraft and many fishmen warriors who blocked the shock wave of the explosion, he fell to the side and vomited blood.
This explosion made the senior fishmen warrior Gru and other fishmen warriors who were fighting with the back shell octopus in front anxious.
On one side, his own prophet disciple Fingart was attacked, and on the other side, the giant monster was fighting with him, making it impossible to get away.
Richard ordered the Skeleton Berserker and the Skeleton Guardian to charge at the other side's senior fishman warrior Gru.
He used the Possession Skeleton to switch back and forth between the two Skeleton Archers, and used the skills of the Archery Master to kill the scattered fishman warriors.
The senior fishman warrior Gru, who could only barely tie with the Shell Octopus, was killed one by one by the fishmen who helped him. Soon, he was strangled to death by the thick tentacles of the Shell Octopus!
At this time, Richard appeared from the bushes on the side and walked slowly towards Fingat lying on the ground.
However, in order to avoid accidents, Richard was still very cautious and summoned the four undead summons to his side.
"You should understand what I said, right?" Richard said word by word in Akkadian, the common wizard language in ancient times.
"I understand!" Fingart looked at the human who suddenly appeared in front of him in shock, and said with his fish lips opening and closing.
"It's good that you understand. If you want to live, hand over a trace of your soul source and let me plant the soul mark on you." Richard said calmly.
"This is absolutely impossible. I would rather die!" Fingart said with a firm look.
"Oh, you would rather die than be the prophet of your tribe? As long as you agree to let me plant the soul mark, I have a way to let you ascend to the throne of the prophet, how about it?" Richard tempted.
"How do you know this?" Fingart's fish eyes, which were already bulging, bulged even more because of surprise!
"You don't need to care how I know, whether you agree or not!"
"No, this is betrayal!"
"Really unwilling? What a pity. In fact, if you don't cooperate with me, I can still achieve my goal, but it's a little more troublesome." Richard smiled slightly.
At this time, the senior fish warrior Gru, who had been killed by the back shell octopus, walked towards Fingat step by step.
"This, this. I know, you are a necromancer among humans, an extremely evil necromancer!" Fingat was extremely panicked at this moment, and he remembered the horrible rumors about human necromancers.
Because he mistakenly believed that Gru, who was controlled by the soul-eating spider, was transformed into a zombie by Richard.
Now, Fingat gave up and agreed immediately!
"I agree, I am willing to surrender! The humble Fingat is willing to be your servant!"
Because he knew that even if he didn't cooperate, the necromancer in front of him might extract his soul for soul search, and his body would be made into a zombie.
Instead of this, it's better to be obedient!
Richard didn't expect that Fingart would agree so easily after seeing Gru controlled by the Soul Devouring Spider.
After Fingart handed over a trace of his soul origin, Richard quickly planted a soul mark on him.
You know, after handing over a trace of soul origin and being planted with a soul mark, Fingart has essentially become Richard's slave.
As long as Richard has a thought in his mind, he can directly destroy Fingart's soul through the soul mark.
It can be said that the other party's life and death depends on Richard's thought.
According to legend, only extremely rare soul-splitting witchcraft, or some long-extinct witchcraft, can offset or weaken the effect of the soul mark, but generally speaking, it will also severely damage the soul.
Obviously, Fingart in front of him, a prophet disciple of a small fish tribe, certainly does not have this secret technique.
"Master!" Seeing Fingart standing respectfully aside, Richard felt that he seemed to be a little bolder and changed his plan.
