"Why did the speed of the Behemoth slow down?" Tang Qi asked in confusion.
On the battlefield, the speed of the Behemoth beast was obviously a step slower. Even if it was slashed by the angel troops, they could still dodge, and they were completely in a state of being beaten.
Fortunately, Behemoth's special skills are very powerful. Even though they have no defensive attributes, they can still last for several rounds.
"The magic of slowness, strategic magic!" Mocott gave Tang Qi the answer.
Strategic magic is different from the existence of strategic skills. Unlike strategic skills, a hero can obtain or upgrade a strategic skill every three strategic levels.
Strategic magic requires heroes to take the initiative to learn it. There are still many ways to learn low-level strategic magic.
Tang Qi's power also has a place to learn strategic magic, and that is the miraculous building of the Level 1 Magic Guild in the City of Darkness.
Level 1 magic guilds require level 3 cities to build, so Luoyue Village is not yet eligible.
The frequency of Tang Qi's appearance in the City of Darkness was also low. Even if he went there, he would either look at Cook or see how many ghosts and vampires Kaiseri had spawned.
Even if he wants to go to some miracle building, he still goes to the tavern. He is more concerned about what heroes are refreshed in the tavern.
"Mocott, how should we deal with this guy?" Tang Qi asked Mocott, but did not answer his question.
"This Gale Sword Master?" Ebor said.
"Who are you and why are you attacking us?" said the human hero leading the enemy.
"!"
Tang Qi took out the demon-sealing shackles and put them on the enemy's leading hero, controlling him.
Liya's troops then joined the battlefield, and the battlefield turned from evenly matched to Tang Qi's side.
So Tang Qi didn't send his troops to fight. At this time, Tang Qi couldn't care anymore. He wanted to use Kaisery's Corpse Witch troops to destroy the human troops that were attacked by cannon fodder.

"Your Excellency Ebor, consider surrendering!" Tang Qi said straight to the point.
Originally, Tang Qi could have sent phantom shooters to attack their heroes, but Tang Qi didn't want them to die. The dead heroes would most likely be resurrected in the Milodi family, so that they would know everything that happened here.
The heroes supported are also a priest and a knight.
"No problem, Lord Count!"
The only advantage they have is the cannon fodder. The marksmen, who have lost their long-range capabilities and have their melee damage reduced by half, are not much stronger than the first-level big-eared monsters and kobolds at this time. They are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and are defeated by a group of them.
The cannon fodder surrounded him.
In a chaotic battlefield, long-range troops are not so easy to use. People and horses on both sides are intertwined, and no matter how good the shooter is, there is no guarantee that he will not hurt his own people.
The heroes of the stronghold race are basically magic idiots. They naturally hate magic, and the setting in the game is also the same. They cannot learn the strategic skill Wisdom, so they cannot learn advanced strategic magic.
"Okay then, Mr. Duke, please ask these gentlemen to stay there for a few days first!"
Tang Qi, who lacked gold coins, had done nothing to build or upgrade the city, so he didn't even know that there was a level 1 magic guild, a miraculous building that could learn strategic magic.
The addition of Kaiseri's skeleton army finally caused panic among the enemy heroes, and they no longer commanded the battle so calmly.
"Oh! Lord Ebor also knows the Sword Master of Glory!"
On the battlefield where command was lost, the formation of the enemy troops began to become chaotic. The Behemoth Behemoth began a full-scale counterattack after removing the effect of the slow magic.
The best choice is to capture them alive. There are only three heroes in the enemy. They are at a disadvantage and they did not run away. They are obviously very confident.
"Damn it, you can fight so well!" Tang Qi was surprised to find that the enemy's leading hero could actually fight Duke.
"Hmph, don't even think about it, you can kill me if you can!" Ebor refused.
【Large gold mine】
After capturing the five garrison heroes of the Milodi family, Tang Qi, Mocott and his party walked through the tunnel and arrived at the sinkhole inside.
The ballista troops were also unable to fire normally under the attack of the cannon fodder, which was considered to have disabled one of their great weapons.
After the hero was captured, the uncommanded human troops went into complete chaos. Finally, Tang Qi's army wiped out all the enemies on the battlefield and entered the sinkhole.
The level 14 Behemoths can still hold up, but the level 13 Behemoths are a bit unsustainable. Their health value and stunts are far behind those of the Behemoths, so they are not that able to withstand angels of the same level.
If you can't kill him, you can only grind it slowly, and Tang Qi has no better way to do this.
-☆-
The departure of the angel troops left their heroes without protection, and now was a good time for a sneak attack.
Tang Qi resisted the urge to beat him up, and instead asked Duke to escort them personally and imprison them in the dungeon of the Emerald Castle Fortress.
"People from the Milodi family!" Tang Qi did not answer, but pointed out their identities.
"Your Excellency Ebor has good eyesight, haha!"
The retreating support heroes and these gryphon troops could not stop the attack of the giant dragon troops, as well as the remaining vampire troops under Tang Qi and Shator. They were quickly killed and the gold mine was completely occupied.
"Mr. Duke, please take action!" At this time, Tang Qi could only ask Duke to save the situation.
The other four heroes are strategic heroes. Their own combat power is not strong, so they do not resist too much.
In addition to the retreating support troops, there were only a small number of spearmen and mining farmers in the sinkhole, as well as 30 squads of gryphon troops, which required Liya's dragon troops to appear.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what should I call you?" Tang Qi asked.
"You!" Ebor was shocked again.
"Of course, give it!"
"I hope you can think about it, Lord Ebor." Tang Qi said again, of course it is impossible to kill him.
"It's not important, is it?"
But what he didn't know was that this was all Tang Qi's bluff.
"My Lord Earl, for these few, I think we can only let them go to the Emerald Castle to rest for the time being," Mocott said.
"My lord, please lend me your demon-sealing shackles," Duke said.
"No, who are you?" Ebor asked again.
Tang Qi already knew their origins, there was no use hiding this.
There are 6 large gold mines in this sinkhole, each with a weekly output of 50,000 gold coins, and the total weekly output reaches 300,000 gold coins.
"How did you know?"
According to Tang Qi's observation, the Behemoth's speed should have dropped by half, which means that this guy is at least an advanced slow master.
"The Slowing Magic is an earth-based auxiliary magic. Its function is to reduce the speed of enemy troops!" Mocott explained.
[Production bonus]: None
Two more heroes rushed out of the tunnel, leading a group of swordsmen and archers to support them. In addition, they were actually 2 teams of angel troops.
This reduced speed naturally includes movement speed and attack speed.
In addition to the knight professional hero named Ebor, there are two other human heroes, a priest profession, and a knight professional hero who should be commanding the sharpshooter troops.
The situation on the battlefield was reversed, which put Tang Qi at a disadvantage in the duel between the final units. In the duel between the backbone forces, more than half of his vampires had been killed. If the ogres hadn't been on top, he would have collapsed.
This also gave Duke an opportunity. With the existence of the magic tower, he needed to advance carefully. The chaos of the enemy heroes gave him an opportunity to take advantage of.
The tunnel couldn't accommodate that many troops, and the chaotic battlefield couldn't be easily controlled. Tang Qi was just throwing heads at it.
"The Sword Master of Light?" Ebor said in surprise.
"Ebor Milodi!" He said his name readily.
"Wrong, Lord Ebor, to be precise, the Bloodfang Bandits are my people!"
"OK!"
Tang Qi's forces began to kill. Under constant attacks, the enemy's troops continued to fall, and the battlefield formed a one-sided situation.
Tang Qi had to order the ogre to block the gun for them to delay the attack for a while.
"Don't even think about it!"
-☆-
The attack method of the corpse witches, the main force under Kesery's command, is not suitable for the battle here. The death cloud and death ripples indiscriminately kill living units and can easily injure one's own troops.
On the other side, Duke also defeated the leading human hero and captured three of them. Only the two supporting heroes were left and retreated into the tunnel.
If this is the case, then the power of the person in front of you is not small, and is probably no weaker than the Milodi family.
The other two heroes had already been kicked to the ground by Duke and were unable to get up for the time being.
Tang Qi stared at Ebor. He might still have a few weeks of output from this gold mine group in his pocket. He was so rich.
"Emerald Castle, you are members of the Bloodfang Bandits!"
Most of the heroes in Tang Qi's forces are also from the stronghold race. Naturally, if you hang out with them for a long time, you won't know that there is such a thing as strategic magic.
"Dear Lord Ebor, aren't you Baron Milodie?"
He was too panicked during the battle, and only after he calmed down did he discover Duke's identity!
Only there could Tang Qi feel at ease and prevent them from committing suicide and escaping.
The only way to get it immediately was to use the rogue contract, but Tang Qi held back.
After understanding the function of the Contract of the Gods, Tang Qi was even more reluctant to use this contract, and even more regretted the contract used on the dwarves of the Thunder Tribe.
Tang Qi discussed with Mocott and gave him the task of recruiting them and asked him to visit from time to time to see if he could succeed.
The Brilliant Sword Master is among the human race just like Duke, the Wind Sword Master, is among the barbarians. He is also quite prestigious and influential, so it is most appropriate for him to take part in this matter.
