Chapter 734: Chapter 513 Legendary Six-armed Snake Demon_1

"Attack with the Fireball Technique," came the command, and the Druids within the Goliath Battle Group also took action.

Seven or eight fireballs exploded among the common Trolls, searing flames causing them to howl in pain.

They were fully experiencing what it meant to be between ice and fire.

One moment, they were being battered with hail from the Revenge Storm, and the next, they were baptized by the Fireball Technique.

All the more disconcerting to them was that the incredibly strong Noble Giant Trolls had been buried alive in pits after just one encounter, without even touching the enemy’s hair. How were they supposed to fight this battle?

The Troll Warband, having lost its core command layer, directly became a disorganized mess.

Some skulked in the back, clearly ready to flee at the first sign of trouble; after all, they were just a temporarily assembled warband. Especially the common Trolls who had just joined and were often oppressed, they had no loyalty to speak of, instinctively making the choices that served their best interest.

Howling fearlessly and foolhardily charging at the Goliath Battle Group made up the majority.

Trolls usually measure combat prowess by size; those significantly larger than them are entities to be revered and avoided, whereas those smaller are considered weaker prey.

The moment they charged up to the Goliath Battle Group, they regretted it.

Following an order to ignite, all large weapons in the hands of the Goliaths burst into flames.

Of course, Gaven had not indulged to the extent of replacing all the Goliaths’ weapons with fiery magic weapons.

Though they did purchase a large quantity of weapons and equipment in Ruitawen, all of which were ordinary weapons ranging from a few dozen to several hundred gold, magic weapons were scarcely acquired.

Those are typically extravagant items costing thousands or even tens of thousands of gold, with flame magic weapons commanding even higher prices in Ruitawen due to the prevalence of Trolls in the Troll Mountains and Giant Plains; many Adventurers reserve such weaponry for its effective counter properties.

Gaven had spent one million eighty thousand in Ruitawen, buying enough ordinary items to arm twenty thousand people, with plenty to spare.

Yet, if he were to buy magic equipment, it would only suffice to equip a hundred people with the lowest-grade magic gear.

This was the terrifying aspect of Ruitawen’s three thousand Light Cavalry: their gear averaging five thousand gold each, they were a moving vault.

However, knowing they could potentially face a large number of Trolls in upcoming battles, they naturally had to prepare things related to fire and strong acids.

Gaven, besides amassing various rockets and petroleum, also snatched up all the reasonably-priced Blazing Gel in Ruitawen.

Blazing Gel is an Alchemy product, conventionally used by packing it in glass bottles and throwing it like an Incendiary Bomb directly at hard surfaces.

The thick Alchemical Gel Liquide would splatter out and stick where it lands, burning for several minutes—a highly unconventional use.

Spreading Blazing Gel on weapons and igniting them naturally turned them into temporary flame weapons.

This kind of temporary flame weapon is different from a flame magic weapon.

The latter is a magic effect that doesn’t harm the user and generates no heat.

Temporary flame weapons, however, are genuine physical reactions that can injure the user if mishandled, also generating significant heat that can make the weapon very hot, particularly if the handle is made of metal and held for an extended period.

In this respect, the Goliaths had an advantage; they wielded two-handed weapons designed for large creatures like Trolls, sufficiently large and solid that heating them up to the point of burning hands was not something that could happen quickly.

But to the Trolls, these temporary flame weapons were almost the same as the real thing, barring the absence of magic-infused damage.

Wherever they were struck, the flesh was charred black, suppressing any regenerative ability.

Those limbs that were directly severed, which in the past might still crawl around or even jump up to attack the enemy, became lifeless nuisances.

After being cut by a flame weapon, the severed ends turned black and inert, losing their vitality just the same as the Trolls’ wounds.

The Trolls’ most fearsome trait is their regenerative ability.

If you fight them without using strong acids or fire, it is an absolute disaster.

You slash them once, and within seconds, their wounds heal, and their life force is restored.

But when they claw you, you either need medicine, or you end up scarred all over.

Moreover, Trolls are well aware of their advantage and often fight with reckless abandon, enduring three of your blows just to land one of their own.

As the saying goes, the brute fears the rash, and the rash fears the reckless.

Once they take up a fight-to-the-death approach, if the power difference isn’t too great, they tend to gain advantages in all respects and become the survivors on the battlefield.

Now the situation was completely reversed.

The Trolls, facing the temporary flame weapons, shrank back apprehensively, afraid to engage in their usual aggressive combat style.

Meanwhile, the Goliaths, bolstered by the five great auras, with damage reduction starting at ten points and capable of slow life recovery, had nothing to fear, adopting a fight-to-the-death tactic themselves.

On top of that, the Special Ability activated by Earth Resonance was enough to compensate for the difference in levels.

Just one clash resulted in a dozen or more Trolls falling.
