Chapter 208 Iron Skin Butcher(1/2)
Chapter 208 The Iron-skinned Butcher
After discussing some details with the priests of Moonbow Temple, Levi led his troops to leave Bitao Village and officially marched towards Ash Ridge Town.
Not only the Red Brotherhood needs to carefully discuss and consider, but the priests cannot make the decision on this matter, because the Moonbow Goddess has not gained believers among humans on such a large scale before.
Moreover, the reputation of the Red Brotherhood is not very good. After all, the main industry they are involved in is the sale and purchase of captives, so the priests need to pray seriously to wait for God's reply.
Since the flow of time between the main world and the divine world is different, neither Li Wei nor they know when the exact answer will be available.
So Levi was too lazy to wait any longer. Anyway, both the Moonbow Temple and the Red Brotherhood had strongholds in Ashridge Town. Even if he got there, he would not completely lose contact.
And he is essentially just an introducer. After explaining this, his existence is actually not as important as imagined.
Of course, once this matter really succeeds, Yue Gong, as a goddess, will never forget his efforts. Except for a very small number of gods from the chaotic evil camp, most gods can definitely be said to have clear rewards and punishments.
On the one hand, this is because gods usually encourage mortal beings to serve them in this way. On the other hand, it is probably because what mortal beings want is usually meaningless to them.
Not counting the many elite subordinates, Levi's troops this time numbered more than 200. Among them, long-range shooters include the Avalon sisters, Skyhawk archers and half-elves, totaling nearly 100 people. They are the main output of the team.
As for the ordinary second-level archers who were taken away from the village by accepting the task of training new recruits, Levi stayed in the village and gave them to Tiva to command, or simply served as temporary village defenders.
Although with Donna's addition, their strength is pretty good, Levi still needs to spare a certain amount of leadership to prepare for the new units he may encounter next.
The five priests from the temple, although they are not combat priests like Cindy and are relatively fragile, are very important and are targets that need to be protected.
Then came the 20 night elf huntresses. Levi mainly asked them to cooperate with the supervisory archons in the investigation work under the leadership of Julia. So far, they have done a good job.
If we have to talk about shortcomings, it is that they cannot enjoy Levi's military status bonus, and they do not match well with Julia's fighting style.
Julia has now gradually transitioned into a mounted-shooting unit. It can't say it's perfect within 100 meters, but it's not too far off.
But the attack distance of the huntresses was only a few dozen meters, which meant that in most cases, Julia kept shooting alone, and they could only watch.
After finally waiting for the enemy to enter their shooting range, Julia decided to lead the team to evacuate because the enemy was too close.
Everyone, including Levi and Julia, is aware of this problem, but they have no solution for the time being, because the team does lack a mounted-and-shooting reconnaissance unit, so they can only go to Ash Ridge Town to take a look first.
If there is a suitable opportunity, replace them and stay in Bitao Village. Their special attack methods are still very useful when fighting against skeleton soldiers and other miscellaneous soldiers.
As for the final melee troops, there are mainly two types, 50 Silver Guards and 20 Caledor Sentinels.
The number of people is a bit small, but the average combat power is very good. In addition, Li Wei can also summon many heavenly creatures to assist in the battle, so the overall strength of this team is still very good.
However, even though they exerted all their strength and wanted to fight a few battles, they didn't know whether it was the efforts of the God-chosen heroes or the strength of the indigenous people. As they moved forward, they found that they did not encounter many enemies.
Even if you encounter them occasionally, they are basically small groups of demons or greenskins. At first glance, they look like a broken army.
This made Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It seemed that during his stay in Bitao Village, the situation outside had changed to a certain extent, and everyone was working hard.
But even if he is given another chance, he will definitely make the same choice.
Because as long as there is a little development and construction, the benefits that Bitao Village can bring will be endless, and to be honest, he has not been delayed much.
What's more, he is confident that even if there is a slight delay, their strength will definitely be better than 99% of the God's Chosen Heroes!
The closer he got to Ember Spine Town, Levi found that the number of encounters with enemies was less and less, and the frequency of encounters with God's Chosen Heroes was getting higher and higher. However, everyone basically kept rushing because there were really no monsters in the wilderness.
Can be killed.
Levi was a little bored, so he began to experiment with the newly obtained summoned large elements one by one, hoping to become more familiar with their fighting methods.
He had summoned the two elements of water and wind before, and now it was the turn of earth and fire.
Then he discovered that the combat effectiveness of the two of them had also improved significantly.
The new abilities of the large earth element are called advancement and siege. The former allows it to cause a certain amount of damage to any enemy blocking it when it moves or charges, and based on the difference in level and strength between the two parties, there is a lower
There is a chance of knocking the opponent to the ground.
Although he felt that under normal circumstances, there would be few enemies that could not avoid its charge, after all, its speed was too slow, but if multiple large earth elements were summoned at once and charged directly towards the enemy's position, then
Does the enemy hide or not?
The latter allows it to have extra damage when attacking buildings and war equipment, which is also very good, especially when combined with his magic range-enhancing specialty, it may give the enemy an unexpected surprise at any time.
The new abilities of the large-scale fire element are called lighting and throwing fireballs. Just look at the name and you will know its meaning. Compared with the other three elements, its improvement is not much. It is more like making up for its shortcomings, but again
After all, it is a Tier 4 unit, especially with his blessing, it is still very capable of fighting.
While experimenting, the team kept moving forward. Seeing that they were less than 10 miles away from Ash Ridge Town, a supervisor Ya Kong suddenly sent back a message.
Li Wei was slightly startled when he saw it. It wasn't that the other party had found any powerful enemy, but he saw a rather strange picture, and even a message spell was a little unclear.
Out of curiosity, Li Wei ordered his subordinates to adjust their direction slightly. He realized that with his own strength, even if something unexpected happened, he could easily crush the opponent.
Thinking like this, he began to continue to use summoning magic. Now that the number of his own melee units is small, he has to rely more on these summoned creatures. Moreover, participating in more battles and killing more enemies will also help him build a good relationship with the heavenly creatures.
relation.
Soon they arrived at their destination. Far away, they saw ogres, about thirty or so and three meters tall and covered in fat, burying pots to make rice. On a simple wooden stand next to them
There were also some unknown meats hanging on the table, which seemed to be in full swing for a while.
Judging from their appearance, they should be level 3 soldiers - Ogre Bull Warriors.
There were about twice as many soldiers, who looked like goblins but were covered in muscle lumps, and were camped by a lake.
They are ogres, a subspecies of goblins. Because the ogre race is too powerful, they serve as low-level miscellaneous soldiers. It is somewhat similar to the half-elf arms in the high elf novice village. The level starts from level 0.
Available to level 2.
Different from the cowardice of ordinary goblins, no matter how many enemies there are and what their strength is, as long as the ogres give an order, they dare to fight until one party is dead and will almost never surrender.
Of course, this does not mean that they are brave, but simply because they have no brains, so they basically have no fear.
So even though in the ogre society, in addition to serving as soldiers and slaves, they also serve as backup food, they still enjoy it.
At this moment, in addition to setting up camp, there are also some cowards holding fishing nets and other things, constantly pouring something out of the lake.
In fact, if it is just like this, it is not a special event. Although this is not the territory of ogres, these fat guys who are willing to do anything for food often walk out of their tribes and spread all over the world.
When you act as a mercenary, you don't even need to pay, and you just have to make a living.
But as the team continued to get closer, Levi gradually understood why Supervisor Yakong felt weird.
Because the lake is not only very small in area, only about a hundred square meters, but calling it a lake is an exaggeration. It should be called a small puddle.
There seems to be no water source around, making the environment very bad. Many giant insects such as palm-sized flies and mosquitoes are flying around.
Although they can't pierce the thick skin of the ogres, they will slap them to death casually, then grab them, throw them into their mouths, and eat them as snacks, but they still have a certain lethality to the ogres.
But despite this, Nubula still seems very excited, because every time they move, they can harvest a lot of things, which are the corpses of humanoid creatures. From a rough look, at least they have been fished out from the shore.
Hundreds of tools.
Levi and Donna looked at each other, and they both felt something was wrong. There were so many corpses hidden in such a small puddle. There was obviously something hidden there. They just didn't know whether they were elves, humans, or other races.
Moreover, Li Wei had some vague guesses.
After most soldiers die in battle, they will be refreshed by the system. The body will return to heaven and earth, and the soul will go to the domain of the gods or hell. Basically, only a few special races such as the undead or ogres can store corpses.
Ogres are unlikely, as they never hoard food, and they never seem to have enough to eat, so they eat whatever they have on the spot.
Considering that this place is called the Plain of Bones and was once the territory of the undead, the correct answer is actually ready to come out.
Thinking of this, Levi decided to move on, at least to confirm the race of the corpses before deciding what to do next.
At this time, the ogres also noticed their arrival, and an ogre with iron-gray skin who was obviously taller than the other companions stood up.
"Elf? It's not time for us to sell meat yet!"
As he spoke, he banged the shield tied to his belly hard, and with a wave of his right hand, he cut off the thigh of a corpse, threw it into his mouth and started chewing it.
Although all kinds of turbid liquids were splashed everywhere, he ate happily, and the ogres around him were also full of envy and jealousy.
There was even a large amount of disgusting mucus flowing down from the corner of the mouth of more than one ogre. They were obviously greedy, but I don't know whether it was because of the leader's majesty or other reasons. They did not move for a while, but stood up straight.
Staring at his leader.
But as witnesses, Cindy, Janet and others were disgusted, because they immediately realized where the meat sold by the other party and the things hanging on the shelves came from.
Although the name is Ogre, they never imagined that the other party actually eats people!
Although Donna also felt uncomfortable, she just silently issued instructions to prepare her subordinates for battle, because according to her, the ogres seemed to attach great importance to these unexpected trophies. If they refused to give up
If Li Wei sends someone to check, there is no way a battle will happen next.
Li Wei thought so too, but he was not impulsive and just ordered the troops to hold off because he felt that the enemy might be a little difficult to deal with.
He looked at the bunch of messy little bags tied around the opponent's waist, and then looked at about a dozen Tier 4 soldiers behind the opponent who had the same iron-gray skin and weapons in their hands that looked more like kitchen knives than machetes - Iron Stomach Cannibals.
Demons, he had almost determined the identity of the other party.
Although there are very few God-chosen heroes who choose ogres, because they occupy an extremely vast territory, there are not many God-chosen heroes who come into contact with them, especially Cathay, and many people will still fight with them.
Do business or hire them, so the relevant information is not too scarce.
"I am Levi, the God-chosen hero. Judging from your appearance, are you a butcher from the Ironskin tribe?"
The ogres have many large and small tribes, and they rise and fall very frequently. No one has ever really counted the number of their tribes.
However, some of the most famous tribes can often stand for hundreds of years and may have some special features. For example, this ogre, who is suspected to be from the Ironskin tribe, has very good resistance to physical attacks.
resistance.
