The ancestor of the Trigoval Paladin family once dealt with the Assyrian Empire, and he has information about the Assyrians in his biography.

Assyrians, barbarians, dwarves and halflings are all Inhumans. Barbarians are tall and strong, generally over 2.5 meters tall, and their arms are thicker than ordinary people's thighs. Caligula of the Randall family has the appearance of a giant.

Nickname, but in front of adult barbarians, he can only be regarded as a dwarf, and his body size is obviously smaller; dwarves are thick and stocky, with an average height of 1.5 meters, a body like a wine barrel, a big nose and small eyes, thick hair, and a long beard.

to the chest; the halfling has a cute appearance, only 1.1 meters tall, like a miniature version of a human.

Of the four alien races discovered so far, only the Assyrians are the closest to humans in body shape and appearance. The only difference lies in their physical features. Ancestor Trigoval recorded that adult Assyrians have fine hairs on the soles of their feet, elbows, and ears.

scales; the canine teeth in the mouth are hollow, similar to snake fangs; their pupils are very small, only one-third of human pupils, and are dark green. If you ignore these detailed features, there is no obvious difference between Assyrians and humans at least in appearance.

.

"We felt a sense of intimacy when we first met the Assyrians in the Endless Forest. Even though we knew that they were all aliens who worshiped the devil, we still could not accept the cruel blood sacrifice rituals of the Assyrian Witch King."

There is such a description in the notes of Paladin Trigoval. Klaus now saw a group of living Assyrians through the gaps in the wormwood, and realized where the so-called intimacy of the legendary Paladin came from.

This is a group of underage Assyrians, both male and female. The oldest is like a human girl about ten years old, and the youngest is a baby held in the arms of an Assyrian girl. They wear brightly colored linen clothes, with their hair disheveled.

None of them were wearing shoes, their expressions were dull and confused, and their eyes were confused, as if they had just suffered a disaster, and their pitiful appearance of being at a loss made the young knight of the Randall family feel pity.

Klaus, who had been away from Pinghu Town for almost two years, suddenly saw an Assyrian who looked like a human child in the virgin forest, and couldn't help but think back to his homeland.

Klaus calmly retreated into the depths of the rainforest. He nodded to his companions and said, "These Assyrians are indeed a group of children."

Nelson rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "I always feel something is wrong. These Assyrian children are unarmed, their clothes are brightly colored, and there are no adults following them. They are too conspicuous in the rain forest."

Rogers, who was born in the mountains, said gloomily: "In the village, parents will also dress their children in brightly colored clothes so that they can be seen and they will not get lost easily."

Brandon looked down at the black mud on his body and asked with interest: "You mean, only adult mountain hunters need to disguise themselves. Children don't need to go out to hunt. Wear them bright clothes so that their elders can see them."

them."

Rogers grinned, nodded and said, "Little guys like to run around, so we can't dress them in green, black, or brown clothes. I didn't expect that the Assyrians and us mountain hunters have similar living habits."

Nelson turned his head and asked: "Rogers, tell me, where are the adult Assyrians?"

"This...I don't know."

Klaus coughed slightly and said: "The notes of Ancestor Trigoval record that the blood sacrifice ceremony of the Assyrian Empire has formed a celebration regulation. A big sacrifice is held every fifteen years, and thousands of Assyrians are sacrificed every four years.

There is a regular sacrifice once a year, with blood sacrifices for hundreds of people; the nobles of the Assyrian Empire will also hold accompanying sacrifices and blessing sacrifices, which are private sacrifices. The scale of private sacrifices should not exceed 30 people. The sacrifices of Assyrian blood sacrifices are mainly slaves, death row prisoners and volunteers

, and savages.”

"The Assyrian Empire has a vast territory, and there are many savages who are similar to human mountain people. They live in groups and make a living by hunting, collecting and planting crops called khat trees. When the Assyrian Empire held big sacrifices and regular sacrifices, the empire

The slave-catching team went out to capture the savages. They captured some of the savages as sacrifices and sold the other parts to the Assyrian nobles as slaves. The slave-catching team also had rules for catching savages. They only captured young and strong savage males, leaving the old ones behind.

Weak women and children." At this point, Klaus paused and continued: "It's like harvesting crops, leaving seeds, and then continuing to harvest after the seeds grow into crops."

Rogers' eyes were sinister, he clenched his fists, and said angrily: "The pagans who deserve to be killed, cannibalize themselves, are more cruel than orcs!"

Red Wolf nodded in agreement: "Yes, take away the young and strong, leaving only the old, weak, women and children. How can the savages survive?"

Brandon shook his head disapprovingly and said: "The Assyrians do not think that holding blood sacrifices is an evil and cruel sin. In fact, the Assyrians believe that blood sacrifices are the way to the realm of all spirits, and the sacrifices will be in the realm of all spirits."

They were reborn in the realm, so there were also Assyrians in the upper class who volunteered to be sacrifices in order to escape the troubles of disease and poverty. Volunteers could also protect their relatives in the realm of all spirits, and at the same time enjoy the private sacrifices of their relatives."

He changed the topic and said: "The Assyrians are actually cruel by nature. If the savage tribe develops to a certain scale, they will kill each other and start headhunting. Do you know what headhunting is? It means cutting off the heads of savages from other tribes and using

The head shrinking technique is made into ornaments to show off one's bravery and form the so-called "wild sacrifice". This kind of wild sacrifice can give birth to the ancestral spirits of the wild people, which will endanger the realm of all spirits enshrined by the Assyrian Empire. From the perspective of the Assyrian Empire

Speaking of it, we must severely crack down on wild sacrifices so that the savage tribes can grow and headhunt each other. It is better to capture savages to serve as slaves and sacrifices. Moreover, the slave-catching team will not capture all the young and strong savages.

The scale of the slave hunting team deliberately let go of varying numbers of young men, five or ten. As long as they escaped faster than others, the slave-catching team would not arrest them and let these young men return to the savage tribe to become new leaders. The savage women were all

She is the wife of the new head man."

The red wolf smiled flatteringly and said: "Brandon, Klaus, you know so much."

Brandon raised his chin slightly proudly, and Klaus said calmly: "The master has obtained the notes of the ancestral paladin Trigoval, and these contents are included in them."

Rogers turned to look at Nelson and asked expectantly: "Teacher, have you also read the Paladin's notes?"

The famous Bear of the North glared and shouted, "How can I have time to read the Paladin's notes?"

Nelson spends a lot of time every day practicing martial arts secrets, and the rest of the time has to deal with military affairs. He has no time to study the notes of Trigoval Paladin. The situation of several ferocious warriors is similar, and the strength of the knight is almost God-given.

Klaus and Brandon had time to study some academics. Victor used the young knights in the family to train as staff officers, and all intelligence materials, including the Paladin's notes, were given to Klaus and Brandon to browse.

"A great sacrifice is held every 15 years. The Assyrian Empire corresponds to the cycle of ant tides." Nelson nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What extraordinary powers can the Assyrians obtain by holding blood sacrifices?"

Klaus replied: "The ancestors of Trigoval only recorded two war abilities. One is the 'evil spirit possession' of the Assyrian warriors, which improves the personal abilities of the Assyrian warriors in all aspects, the most significant is the increase in strength. And the resurrection of the dead. After the Assyrian warriors die in battle, they will continue to fight in the form of undead for a period of time. We met half-human and half-dog black-blooded demons in the Assyrian temple. They are very similar to the resurrection of the dead described in the Paladin's notes. Therefore , I speculate that 'evil spirit possession' actually allows Assyrian warriors to gain the ability to transform into semi-undead."

"The second war ability is the 'trollization' of Assyrian slaves. During the blood sacrifice ceremony, the Assyrian witch doctors turned the slaves of high-level Assyrian warriors into muscular monsters more than 3 meters tall. They were brainless and had terrifying powers. The strength and regeneration ability completely obey the orders of the master. The ancestors of Trigoval speculated that there is a special soul connection between the slave troll and the master. The slave troll and the Assyrian warrior are the main force against the ant colony."

"Trolls?" Nelson's eyes lit up. He thought of something and said, "Are those ooze trolls we encountered trolls?"

Klaus shook his head and responded: "According to the Paladin's notes, trolls are living monsters with semi-undead characteristics, but they are definitely related to the ooze trolls. After all, that's fifteen hundred According to biographies written many years ago, no one knows what happened to the Assyrians after the collapse of the Assyrian Empire. The Assyrian witch doctors may have lost the ability to become semi-undead and could only create undead creatures."

"I think the undead are more powerful," Rogers said.

"If the undead are difficult to control, the Assyrians' war capabilities will be greatly weakened." Brandon explained with a smile.

Nelson nodded, agreeing with Brandon's statement, but the historical development of the Assyrian Empire was not his focus. He asked: "What kind of extraordinary abilities will the Assyrian savages gain from holding wild sacrifices?"

Brandon replied: "It's not written in the Paladin's notebook."

Nelson didn't pay much attention to this answer, nodded and said: "We are lost and need an aboriginal guide. The fact that the legendary paladin from 1,500 years ago can deal with the Assyrian Witch King shows that the Assyrians can communicate Yes. However, the Paladins have tricked the Assyrian witch doctors, and the descendants of the Assyrian Empire may not be friendly to us. We are relatively weak, and we have to hide from the Assyrian witch doctors and Assyrian warriors, but we can find the way. The savages should be fine."

Nelson's ability to survive to this day depends on his bravery, tenacity and caution. In this mysterious rainforest, he needs an indigenous guide, but he is also wary of the Assyrian spellcasters.

A few years ago, Princess Elizabeth Frederick was attacked and disappeared in the Kingdom of Dodo. The priests who protected her suffered heavy casualties. This incident showed that the destructive power of well-prepared spellcasters is astonishing. Even the Golden Paladin of the Testir family could only I can only protect myself.

Nelson did not intend to provoke the inherited Assyrian witch doctors and Assyrian warriors. He just wanted to bully the savages, and they were the same savages who had been attacked by slave teams.

According to the functional structure of Randall's mercenary army, Legion Commander Nelson determines the strategic goals, and the specific planning and implementation are handled by the Knight Staff Officer. Klaus and Brandon discussed quietly together, and they concluded that there must be a savage nearby. The tribe encountered drastic changes, and the underage savages fled here. However, it was of little significance for them to capture a young savage to serve as a guide. It was better to capture an old savage who was familiar with the rainforest.

It is almost impossible for these savage children to survive in the wild without adult care. It will not be long before they return to their most familiar homeland. As long as the five-person team follows these children, they can find the savage tribe. Once they find the savage tribe, they will make adjustments based on the actual situation.

action plan.

When it was getting dark, the 32 little savages, led by the older children, walked deep into the rain forest. Nelson's team followed them from a distance, and after walking about 10 kilometers, they saw a dilapidated savage camp.

.

The little savages called to their elders and relatives one after another. Their cries were pitiful, but no one responded in the entire camp. These little savages were tired and scared now. After crying for a while, they entered a relatively intact hut, closed the door and stopped making any sound.

A slightly louder sound.

In the second half of the night, water mist rose in the rain forest, and from time to time the roars of various wild beasts could be heard, but the savage camp was deathly silent. Most of the savage children hiding in the huts were asleep, and those who were not asleep did not dare to

Going out at this time, the five-man team walked silently into the camp, quickly surveyed the scene, and then left quietly without disturbing the ignorant savage children.

The team sneaked into the nearby rainforest, found a temporary foothold, gathered in a circle and began to discuss with each other.

Klaus took the lead in analyzing and said: "Judging from the traces in the camp, the battle took place last night. A slave-catching team of about 80 people raided the savage camp at night. They first pulled out the sentries and broke through the poisonous thorn fence.

, launched a fierce attack on the sleeping savages, but also encountered fierce resistance. The slave-catching team killed at least 20 savages and several large-headed lizard war beasts, completely shattering the fighting spirit of this savage tribe. Some savages took advantage of the chaos to escape, but

Most of the people were captured on the spot. The savages who escaped were mainly women, children and the elderly, which can be seen from the footprints. The adult savage women and old savages should not be far away, and the slave-catching team deliberately let them escape to kill the savages.

Due to the male's will to resist, the young and middle-aged savages were at a loss, and the slave-catching team sent people to capture the adult savage women and old savages, leaving only the underage savages free. Moreover, when they left, they were dealt with

There were corpses and bloodstains in the camp, as well as some food, tools, and weapons. Those little savages might have been able to survive with the help of the stinger fence and food supplies in the camp."

Rogers punched the tree trunk next to him, making a dent in the hard tree. He gritted his teeth and said, "Without the care of adult savages, it would be difficult for those little savages to survive."

As he said that, he was slapped on the head. Nelson said angrily: "What does this have to do with us? Save our own people first!"

"I'm sorry, teacher, I was wrong." Rogers immediately bowed his head to Nelson and apologized.

Brandon frowned and said: "The Assyrian slave-catching team even captured savage women and old people. This is inconsistent with the content of the Paladin's notes."

Nelson ignored the thought of continuing to teach his proud disciple, and turned around and said, "Think about it, could the slave-catching team's abnormal behavior be related to Ant-Man?"

Klaus said, "What do you mean, Sir, the battle between Ant-Man and the Ooze Giant made the descendants of the Assyrian Empire feel the pressure of the war, so they captured the savages and held a large-scale blood sacrifice ceremony?"

Nelson nodded and said with stern eyes: "The slave-catching team did not destroy the sting fence of the savage camp and left food for the savage children so that they could continue to survive in the camp for a while. The slave-catching team can still come back and bring

Walk the trapped little savage. This is because the little savage moves too slowly and cannot keep up with the speed of adults."

Brandon's heart moved and he tried to ask: "What does your lord mean..."

Nelson looked around at his four subordinates and asked in a deep voice: "You haven't forgotten the purpose of Lord Victor's expedition to the Endless Forest, right? To investigate Ant-Man's nest, and if there is a chance, completely eliminate the ant plague in the Endless Forest! Now, Ant-Man

A war broke out with the descendants of Assyria, and the opportunity came to deal with Ant-Man, how could Lord Victor miss this opportunity?"

"I have a feeling that if we follow the slave-catching team, we may be able to meet up with Lord Victor." Nelson took a deep breath and said, "The slave-catching team captured the savage young men and women and old people, and they will probably escort the captives separately.

.This is our chance...Red Wolf, can you track the slave team and the savage captives in the rain forest?"
