Chapter 166: The Wizard's Cabin
Levi smiled, he had known the hatred between the dwarves and the greenskins for a long time, it was impossible to describe in words, once they met, they had to separate life and death, so he was not surprised that the axeman could say such a thing.
Because not only in the border between the greenskins and the dwarves, but even in the southern kingdoms where mercenaries are prevalent, those dwarves who act as mercenaries will also fight when they meet, and it is said that several players have profited a lot from this.
However, Levi can also understand, because according to the information he has gathered so far, the two sides are really not in harmony, and there are a lot of dwarves that have been taken away by the greenskins, and they have been occupied until now, and it is even said that there is a super giant fortress group called Eight Peaks Mountain that connects the mountain kingdoms, and it is now occupied by the greenskins.
The reason why it is said is partly because the dwarves there did not lose all their territory, and a part of the territory was invaded by the Skaven rats, which directly led to the Skaven race ranking second in the ranking of all enemies of the dwarves.
Just then, a horseback squire came running back again, and he shouted to Levi with surprise on his face: "My lord, Lord Bloomus has found a wizard's hut!" β
"What?!"
Even with Levi's calmness, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise, because even on the forum, there were very few people who had seen this thing, and it was basically all spread by the players of the empire, because the empire had the most comprehensive and developed magic academy in the entire old world, and there were the most wild magicians there.
Combined with the barren environment of magic in the knight kingdom, he even wondered if this thing only appeared in the empire, but now the other party told him that Huames had found a wizard's hut, which was really a big surprise!
"Hurry up, take me there."
Soon, Levi came to the front of the wizard's hut that the horseman said, and at this moment Huames was keeping a safe distance of dozens of meters, not too close, and even looked a little vigilant.
But Levi can certainly understand why the other party has such an attitude, because around the closed wizard's hut, in addition to some escaped magical energy like colorful streamers surrounding the entire hut, there is also a team of big fat men who are more than three meters tall and holding a thick mace with human thighs, it is a group of ogres, and they are not free-range, but an advanced class of troops wearing metal armor-armored ogres!
Noticing the movement behind him, Hua Meisi hurriedly turned around: "Ah, Levi, you are here, I just found out here, but there are these ogres outside here, because I am afraid that it will cause too much damage to the troops, so I did not continue to advance." β
Levi nodded and complimented the other party: "You have done a good job, Huameisi, it is always right to be cautious in the face of an enemy who has not been engaged." β
"Uh-huh," Hua Meisi nodded hurriedly, but soon she blinked at Levi with wide eyes, "Then, Levi, can we go and test their strength now?" β
Looking at Hua Meisi's appearance, Levi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, although he said that he was worried, but in fact, Hua Meisi's eyes not only did not have the slightest fear, but were full of desire and expectation, it seemed that she couldn't wait to fight these armored ogres.
It's no wonder that Huameisi has always aimed to become a knight, and the most famous thing about all the high-level knights in the knight kingdom is that they are particularly capable of fighting, and in the face of enemies they have never encountered before, it is the most normal thing to come forward and challenge.
However, Huames's little abacus is about to fail, because these armored ogres just stay at the door of the wizard's hut and do not move, even if they see the arrival of Levi and the others, only a few guys look at them a few times, but they don't take it seriously at all, let alone show any hostility, they are undoubtedly owner, they must belong to the wizards here.
If it is not necessary, Levi still doesn't want to provoke the other party, the reason why this kind of hut is called a wizard's hut, not a wizard's hut, is because the owners of these huts are usually cultivated by themselves, and they have not undergone systematic training, and they are very different from ordinary magicians in terms of how they behave and how they use magic.
In addition, magic experiments are extremely prone to all kinds of accidents, and in the long run, they all have all kinds of quirks. Maybe because of Levi's bad attitude, he might just not give Levi the task, or simply attack him, which would not be good.
And the most important thing is that these armored ogres have been confirmed by the players of the southern country, they are at least all of the 3rd order starting troops, maybe three or five, with the strength that Levi has now, they can still deal with it, but with a wizard whose strength is unknown and has not been seen yet, it is not necessarily.
So Levi rode over very politely, stopped about 10 meters away from the armored ogre, and shouted into the house: "Hello, I am Levi, the chosen hero from Oak Village, is the wizard here?" β
"A Chosen Hero?"
A man's voice rang out, to Levi's surprise, not an old voice, but a rather young voice, and then soon the colorful streamers around the outer perimeter of the wizard's hut quickly flew and merged into the hut.
Then the wooden door was opened from the inside, and a young man who looked to be no more than thirty years old, armed with a staff, and wearing a red mage's robes, stepped out.
He first swept quickly over the Moorish Knight Tanato, Huames and others, and finally his eyes stayed on Levi's body, and asked curiously, "Are you the chosen hero who just spoke?" β
The other party didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, but was just a little curious, so Levi also responded with a smile: "That's right, I'm Levi, I don't know what you call Master Wizard?" β
The young man nodded: "Don't be so polite, I'm the wandering wizard Camelot, because one of my magic props was lost in the Black Forest in front, so I stayed here temporarily, I see that your troops are very large, why don't you help me find it?" In return, I can teach you a spell I know, well, if you find one, choose one of these. β
As he spoke, the wandering wizard Colette took out several sheepskin scrolls from his waist, each of which emitted a faint glow, which was obviously a magical item.
Levi didn't expect the other party to be so refreshing, as soon as he came up, he didn't have any nonsense, and directly released the task to himself, not only the system prompt had popped up, but even the possible rewards made Levi see clearly.
"Camelot the Wandering Wizard has sent you a quest to find a lost magic item, and if you succeed in the mission, you can choose one of the following three spells as a reward."
1. Stone armor, at the cost of greatly slowing down the movement speed and attack speed, greatly strengthens the physical defense in a short period of time;
2. Foul Stinky Giant Claw, at the cost of not being able to use any weapon, makes physical attacks with toxic damage in a short period of time;
3. Flame Drink, at the cost of losing 10 health, randomly expel a negative status.
Levi immediately had a headache, he didn't know exactly what the effect of these spells would be, but every spell had a negative effect, which was a bit of a pitfall, and he hadn't encountered any spells with this characteristic before.
Could it be that this is the difference between a Wild Road Wizard and a Wizard from a systematic training background?
Although there are some headaches, it is even more difficult to choose for a while, but Levi still does not have any hesitation about whether to take that task, it is always good to have one more spell, maybe it will come in handy at some point, anyway, so far he has not found that there is a limit to the number of skills, and it is his own to learn it.
Seeing that Levi took over the task he had posted, the wandering wizard Camelot was also very satisfied: "Okay, Levi, my magic prop was lost in the black forest ahead, and its appearance is a blue axe, you can help me find it back as soon as possible." Oh, and there are some disgusting trolls out there, too, but they shouldn't be too much of a threat to your troops. β
"Trolls?"
Levi was thoughtful, although he had not encountered such an enemy so far, there was definitely a lot of information about them on the forum, they almost flooded the entire Old World like the Beastmen, and according to their respective regions, as well as their different physical characteristics, their types could be subdivided into many types.
The more common types are Desert Trolls, Forest Trolls, Frost Trolls, Prairie Trolls, and Dark Trolls, but along the river, there are also water trolls with blue and white skin, proving that there are more types of trolls than the players find right now.
However, it is still easy to distinguish the types of trolls, because these guys have a more obvious difference in appearance, the wandering wizard Camelot said that it was a magic item lost in the Black Forest, so this time the enemy will be a forest troll?
"Well, that's right, it's easier to deal with forest trolls, but they're a little cunning, and they run away as soon as they see my armored ogres appear, and I can't stand the stench on them, so I'm not sure if they picked up that magic prop for the time being, Levi, I'll leave it to you."
"Okay, then leave it to me."
Levi responded, and he didn't feel any surprise that the forest trolls ran away when they saw the armored ogres.
Although trolls are much stronger than the beastmen in terms of individual strength, ordinary trolls are only Tier 1 or Tier 2 troops, and Tier 3 is not too much.
And even the lowest-level ogre class is still 3rd order, is it good? These armored ogres in front of them are all 3rd order elites or even 4th order troops, if those forest trolls don't run away when they see them, I'm afraid that there will be a massacre next, although they are a little stupid, but they are not completely stupid.
After asking the direction, Levi set off directly with his troops, completing the task as soon as possible, and if he hurried up, he would still have time to go to the dwarven outpost that the dwarven axeman said.
Levi doesn't want to spend the night in the wilderness, not to mention the safety issues, the subordinates who don't get a good rest will have an extra weak negative state tomorrow, and the attack defense and even the upper limit of health will be reduced by at least 10%, which will not be worth the loss.
Soon, the former Bloomes sent a horseback attendant to report that she had spotted the target in the distance, and Levi immediately rushed in that direction with a large army, and then he saw Bloomis leading the horseback attendants, walking more than half of the team as if covered with a layer of moss, gray-green haired humanoids.
These creatures have a pair of long ears like donkeys, and on either side of the hideous and ugly face are a pair of long fangs, and their shoulders are always hanging low in front of them, and they seem to be a little hunchbacked, but even so, their height is close to two meters, and they look like little giants, and they can also see quite obvious muscles on their bodies, which are the forest trolls of the barbaric system of the chaotic camp, and they don't seem to be ordinary miscellaneous fish troops, at least they are also 2nd order, but this number seems to be a little small...
And now the fellows were armed with giant wooden sticks, led by a darker-skinned, taller troll with rough spears the thickness of goose eggs, and they looked angry and chased after Hua Meisi in front of them, not knowing what to shout from their mouths.
Although Levi visually measured that their speed was more than a tenth faster than that of the swordsmen under his command, almost catching up with the half-elves because of their long legs, it was just a delusion that they wanted to catch up with the full-fledged cavalry.
However, Levi certainly did not just look at the opponent's pursuers, he immediately began to direct the infantry to approach slowly, and at the same time ordered the hunter John to command the archers to prepare the rockets.
Of course, Huamesi also found out about the arrival of reinforcements, but these forest trolls behind the ass were still chasing after him, and he didn't notice this at all, so Huamez rolled his eyes and didn't say anything, but continued to take the forest trolls around in circles.
Soon, the leader of the forest trolls was pleasantly surprised to find that these humans in front of him who were running non-stop like fleas, as well as the war horses under their crotches, seemed to be tired, their speed finally slowed down, and it quickly pulled out a short wooden spear more than one meter long from its back, aimed it slightly, and prepared to give the other party a ruthless blow.
But soon it noticed that the human in front of it suddenly made a big turn, and then stopped directly on the side, and the forest troll leader couldn't help but be overjoyed, and it hurriedly raised its short spear, about to attack the other party.
But before it could make any moves, it suddenly heard a tearing sound of air, followed by a burst of pain, and at the same time the fiery red flames that the trolls feared the most began to spread over it, and it was then that it noticed that there were a lot of strange creatures in front of it, and they were all undoubtedly human, and these damn fleas had fooled themselves again!
But it didn't have time to be angry, because a human in black armor and armed with a giant scythe had already rushed up with a group of men, and it had to grit its teeth and raise its spear to rush forward, no matter what, the forest trolls could not lose to these treacherous humans!
Levi didn't expect that this forest troll who seemed to be the leader was so stupid, and was directly brought into range of his long-range troops by Huames, and only after a volley of arrows did the other party react, and then it was directly surrounded by the Moorish knight Tanato's troops.
Instead of running over to talk to Levi, Bloomus led his horseback attendants directly to charge at the remaining forest trolls.
Just when Levi was a little puzzled whether the matter would end so easily, the forest troll leader who was fighting with Tanato, took a hard beat, then took a step back, opened his mouth and let out a terrible roar, and a series of roars suddenly came from the forest next to him.
Within a dozen seconds, a large group of forest trolls with gray-green hair rushed out of the forest, but compared to the little giants who were already deep in the battlefield, these new forest trolls were like some malnourished guys, their height was about the same as that of the swordsmen under Levi's, about one meter eight, and there were not too many muscles on their bodies, it seemed that their combat power was definitely not a level, but there were quite a few of them, almost 4 squads.
"Hmm, it seems that this is the main force of these forest trolls, but the previous leader was so stupid that he didn't even have all his subordinates with him, so he was easily tricked by Huames, this is really...
Levi didn't know what to say for a while, because he always thought that Hua Meisi was naΓ―ve enough, but he didn't expect that there was a guy who was tricked by her, and he could only say that the barbaric guy was really weird...
Although he wanted to laugh in his heart, Levi still commanded the troops to snipe at the newly rushed trolls, he had long expected this situation, so Tanatoe did not take all the troops with him, and the guards Davi and his swordsmen were still in front of him, not to mention that there were still a few foot squires there, so even if these trolls had a slight advantage in numbers, they could not break through their defensive circle for a while.
The battle began to reach a stalemate, but under Levi's command, the ranged troops began to rapidly reduce the number of opponents, and the original numerical advantage of the forest trolls soon disappeared.
After experiencing the real battle, Levi quickly judged that except for the trolls holding giant wooden sticks behind the forest troll leader, which were some second-order elites and third-order mixed squads, most of these ordinary trolls were ordinary soldiers of the second order, and even half of the squad was simply a number of first-order soldiers, which was not much of a threat to Levi.
"Ahh
Just as the battle continued and the situation became more and more favorable to Levi's side, a scream suddenly came from not far away.
Before Levi could see what was going on, he saw that the forest trolls who were fighting with his melee troops in front of him were in a panic, and the originally ferocious attacks were hesitant a lot, and even a few forest trolls behind had begun to quietly retreat, Levi immediately knew that it was definitely the forest troll leader who was killed, otherwise these forest trolls would not suddenly appear in this situation.
He immediately reined in his warhorse, raised his spear high, and used the reserve force: "Kelly, Dahl, attack the forest troll on the left!" β
As he spoke, he waved his hand and cast a flame spell on the opponent, which could better strengthen the opponent's combat ability.
Kelly, the half-elf blade guard who had been guarding Levi and the ranged troops, immediately responded, jumped out like a nimble female leopard, and rushed over with a few swordsmen.
In contrast, the half-breed hunter Dahl's reaction was a little slower, he didn't seem to be used to taking Levi's orders, but he quickly raised his one-handed axe and shield, followed Kelly, and killed the forest trolls, although he was originally just a hunter, but after that accident, the blood on his hands was not only ordinary animals, but also some of the non-human monsters, and now, it looks like there is another species to be added to this list...
