Chapter 229: Departure and Ambush
A few hours later, Levi had already set off with his troops and Qingquan Liuxiang, and then he found that Qingquan Liuxiang really didn't tell him the truth.
In addition to the troops he said before, now he has an extra team of dwarven crossbowmen and a team of dwarven axemen in his team, which is okay, he may have been recruited in the past two days, but there are also two wood elf cavalry armed with spears and riding the same type of war deer as the Qingquan Liuxiang seat, but it is unlikely that they were newly recruited, because Levi has not found any wood elf villages near Blackstone Fort so far.
At the same time, Qingquan Liuxiang was also a little surprised by the strength shown by Levi, he didn't see so many third-order rock sheep cavalry when he was in the siege of the city that day, there were two squads, and there were two chariots pulled by rock sheep, which was even more amazing.
In comparison, the two Battle Deer Jungle Guards who hid themselves were not so conspicuous, although they were third-order elites, and they were stronger in terms of individual strength, but the number was too small.
Levi didn't know what the other party had in mind, he was just a little curious that the other party dared to carry the wood elves and dwarves in the same team at the same time, which was a rare thing. After all, even if they are in the same order camp, but putting the dwarves and wood elves in the same team will produce a particularly serious morale punishment, almost the same as grouping humans and the undead together, and they are already lucky if they don't fight!
But now it seems that under the command of Qingquan Liuxiang, they get along with each other quite well. But Levi didn't ask the other party why, it was annoying behavior, and they weren't familiar with it yet. He was more concerned about what was happening at the Ten Thousand Demon Rock, according to what the other party said, the Beastman defenders at the Ten Thousand Demon Rock were constantly decreasing, and now they were less than seven percent of what they were before.
"Qingquan is ringing, forget it, I'll just call you Qingquan, you've been investigating the movements of the Ten Thousand Demon Rock recently, but you haven't found anything suspicious?"
Qingquan Liuxiang was also a little embarrassed when he heard this: "It's true, but this is also a helpless thing, my troops don't dare to get too close there, my reconnaissance can only be observed in the sky through a special unit, but there happens to be a dense forest there, which seriously obstructs the line of sight." ”
Levi was also a little helpless when he heard this, but he didn't say much, after all, it wasn't a day or two since Blackstone Castle offered a bounty on the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks, and so many aborigines and players couldn't find out, so they could see how secret it was.
At this moment, the window of a rock sheep chariot was opened, and the dwarven beast tamer poked his head out of it: "My lord, I have something to report to you!" ”
I don't know if it's because Levi's reputation in Blackstone Castle has reached the level of worship, or because he has seen Levi's increasingly powerful power, the dwarven beast tamer is now 100% obedient to Levi, and he can't see what he was like before.
Hearing this, Levi rode his horse over, and after half a minute, Levi returned to the side of Qingquan Liuxiang, with a strange expression on his face: "Qingquan, maybe the matter of the beastmen has been put aside for the time being, because we should now think about other issues." ”
Qingquan Liuxiang was stunned for a moment: "What? ”
"We're in company, my scout told me that 3 kilometers behind us, there are about 400 mixed forces of humans and dwarves who have been with us since we left Blackstone Castle."
Qingquan Liuxiang was taken aback: "Who is it?" Surely they have discovered our target? We're not far from the Ten Thousand Demon Rock here! ”
"yes, think about it, have you done anything noticeable lately?"
Qingquan Liuxiang suddenly felt a little distressed: "Levi, Blackstone Fort is a city of dwarves, even if I don't do anything, just standing there is enough to attract attention!" Even if I have brushed my prestige to respect during this time, those aborigines just don't give me a look anymore, but what they sell me is still 10% more expensive than what they sell to others, ah! ”
Accidentally, Qingquan Liuxiang told a little secret of his own, in fact, he didn't really can't buy arrows at all, although the dwarven blacksmith shop didn't have any inventory, but batch customization could still be done, he just didn't want to spend that 10% of the unjust money, so he would ask Levi to help buy it at the beginning.
Levi smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I finally got it." But now we should speed up a little, there is a dense forest in front of us, just enough to ambush, we must deal with these little tails before we reach the Ten Thousand Demon Rock. ”
Qingquan Liuxiang suddenly became a little excited, he was able to come to the dwarf's Blackstone Castle from the great forest of the wood elves, he naturally experienced battles, and even fought with the green-skinned players in the gray mountains more than once.
And he also likes that kind of battle very much, because whether it is from the enemy camp or not, as long as it is not from his own race and his own camp, the experience given by killing a God's chosen hero is much higher than that given by ordinary troops, not to mention that sometimes there are meritorious deeds to be taken!
Moreover, Qingquan Liuxiang also has an experience that he has figured out, that is, when his troops kill the chosen heroes of the opposing camp, they will have a very high chance of advancement, and this is how his two elite battle deer jungle patrols came about!
But now it's definitely not going to be greenskin, so it's a little bit of a flaw.
"Levi, you're not going to kill all those guys in the back, are you?"
Levi looked at the other party very strangely: "Of course, if you don't kill them, will you still keep them to follow us all the way to the Ten Thousand Demon Rock?" They have been following us since they left the city, and their goal is very clear! ”
"Oh no, that's not what I meant," Qingquan Liuxiang quickly explained, "It's just that you are all from Hermgat in the Empire, and if you take the initiative to attack them, your reputation in Hermgat will be reduced a lot." ”
Probably because the system wants to love each other with players in the same faction, so players whose initial arrival location belongs to the same large area will reduce the prestige of their spawn location a little when attacking each other, but this constraint is not too big, for example, human players who are also in the empire, as long as the largest city near the spawn point is not the same city, then there is no impact on this aspect at all.
"Don't worry, I don't mind," Levi didn't care too much, although he belonged to the Imperial camp, but he had never been to Helmgart at all, how else could he be lowered, could it be that he was lowered to a negative number?
Well, if you think about it, it's not impossible, there are a series of prestige levels such as indifference and hatred below neutrality.
But it doesn't matter, the border city of Helmgat is a small, completely militarized city, and it's not friendly to players.
It's not that the attitude of the aborigines is bad, but that all the materials there are very expensive, and the difficulty of recruiting troops seems to be at least 20% higher than that of other human cities, otherwise there would not be a situation where large-scale human players run to Blackstone Castle. It's a big deal that I won't go there in the future!
Seeing Levi's look like he was in his chest, Qingquan Liuxiang didn't say anything more, the previous reminder was just out of the care of his temporary teammates, since the other party didn't care, then he wouldn't care, anyway, it didn't have anything to do with him, but it could also allow him to take the opportunity to earn more experience points!
Ten minutes later, a large group of low-level troops composed of humans and dwarves came to the place where Levi and the others had just been, led by a full eight Chosen Heroes.
It's just that compared to Qingquan Liuxiang, they are really a bit miserable, among the 400 troops, they can't even make up 4 squads of the 3rd order troops, and most of the remaining troops are cannon fodder, and there are even several squads of 0-order miners mixed in, and I don't know what these players are hiring them for, after all, at this stage, these 0-order troops are not even enough to be cannon fodder.
This seems a bit miserable, you must know that after experiencing the plague of the beastmen in the entire old world, as long as you are not unlucky to hang up at the beginning, with the merits in battle, even ordinary idle players can have a few Tier 3 troops.
For example, the cheapest Tier 3 class currently announced on the forums - Halfling Chaser, each only needs 100 merits, and most players who start with the siege and participate to the end can get at least two or three hundred merits!
A human player frowned immediately after communicating with a class that appeared to be a thief, "They've suddenly increased their movement speed?" ”
The thief nodded a little fearfully: "Yes, my lord, in order to avoid alarming them, I did not continue to follow them, but hurried back to report to you, my lord." ”
"Got it, then you go ahead and follow your companions and follow their movements in front, and we'll follow in a moment." The human player waved his hand impatiently, signaling the other party to hurry up.
After the thieves left, several players next to them immediately asked, "What's going on?" Lao Zhang? Did those two guys find us? ”
"It's okay, Lao Li, they just picked up the speed, it looks like it's probably not far from the target location, we have to speed up too, these two damn guys actually have mounts, but we have to run with our legs."
"Ah, then let's hurry up and follow, the eldest young master told us to see what this sneaky wood elf wants to do, whether he wants to form a guild against our Traceless Guild."
"But now it seems that this guy is probably not going to fight us, but to fight the boss."
"Yes, yes, yes, I think so too, and the human being that guy is looking for is not a stranger, didn't Liuzi say it before, he asked that guy what rank he was, and was directly scolded back by the other party?"
"Hahaha, that's really good, that kid just owes it!"
"It's just that I'm not used to his dog-legged appearance, we're just working, and we're not here to sell!"
Several human players immediately began to discuss it, and quickly deviated from the topic, and even talked about the sexual orientation of the wind without a trace, it seems that they don't have much respect for themselves.
"Alright, alright, don't talk about that, we should speed up too, or they should be out of our tracking."
"Okay, let's go!"
Soon, a group of human players came to a dense forest, and after following the thieves' guidance, they should be about to catch up with each other after passing through the dense forest.
A player who took the lead walked into the dense forest, and said to his companions with a smile while looking back: "Fortunately, this is not a martial arts game, otherwise I would really not dare to enter, after all, martial arts are all in the forest!" Yes! ”
Just as his companions wondered why he had come back and said two words in a row, they watched him turn into a white light, and the soldiers who had belonged to him were suddenly in a mess, some went straight into the dense forest, some began to try to retreat, and some of them were short-tempered, waving their weapons and rushing towards them!
"Damn, Lao Wang has been killed, there are enemies!"
With his roar, in the next moment, countless arrows and ammunition flew out from the dense forest, and under one look, their troops were directly reduced by more than 10%, and the enemy's firepower was somewhat unexpectedly strong!
Lao Zhang immediately began to organize the retreat of the troops, he was the small leader of these people, so the troops were a little more: "Hurry up, I will cover, you retreat, defend the formation!" "They didn't plan to confront each other head-on now, they just wanted to follow and see what secrets the other party had, and then go back and report it to Feng Guo Wuxi.
And now judging from the opponent's firepower, even if they want to fight head-on, I'm afraid they won't be able to beat it at all!
But another player was a little desperate: "It's late, look at the back!" ”
The rumbling hooves sounded, and Lao Li only saw two squads of dwarven rock sheep cavalry rushing straight from the flank, led by a female knight riding a white lion, holding a silver spear, and her armor was like a layer of white light, heroic and sassy, and on either side of her, there were two sharp-eared wood elves riding a big deer.
Under the leadership of the female knight, the enemy's charge was surging like waves, and the long-range troops at the back were wiped out almost instantly, and even if several infantry squires tried to rush up to block the other party, they were directly knocked away by the fierce white lion under the female knight's crotch, and then they were pierced by the opponent's spear, and the person was still in mid-air, it had already directly turned into a white light, and the other party was able to kill the 3rd order troops in an instant!
"! This also hits Nima! ”
"It's definitely not a gamer!"
"Nonsense, but what level of troops is this? During the previous siege battle, the 4th-order minotaur didn't seem to be as fierce as her! ”
"I don't know, I don't want to know, I just know that there are a lot of enemies here!"
"Made, I know these two deer cavalrymen, they are the wood elves who are flowing from the clear spring!"
In the dense forest, watching a few players who were following him, under the front and rear attacks of his own troops, they had already begun to cry wolf there, but Levi was very comfortable: "How about it, I said they are weak, right?" It's not our opponent at all, even if we don't hide in the jungle, we will definitely win if we attack them head-on! ”
Looking at his constantly refreshing experience points and merits, the clear spring also felt very cool, and as for the enemy mentioning his name, he didn't feel any surprise, because there were really few wood elves in the entire Blackstone Castle.
"Levi, I'll have to admit a little mistake to you."
"Oh? What's wrong? ”
"These guys should have been provoked by me, they are members of the Traceless Guild, their boss wanted to buy my war deer jungle patrol before, and after I refused, he let me go of cruel words."
"Heh, it doesn't matter anymore, when they followed us, I had already made a decision, and you don't want us to follow this group of guys behind us when we attack the Ten Thousand Demon Rock, right?"
"Haha, that's true, but after completely tearing my face this time, I'll be a little dangerous in Blackstone Fort in the future."
"Well, how about you come to my guild watcher, I happen to lack a big butler in Blackstone Castle, you can probably see that there are few people in my guild." Levi smiled and made an invitation.
Qingquan Liuxiang groaned for a moment, and did not immediately refuse, but he also did not agree immediately: "If things go well in the Ten Thousand Demon Rock, then I will go to Yueguilin near the Black Stone Castle, and if it goes well at that time, I will consider it." "Qingquan Liuxiang gave a little information to Levi, which was a signal of friendliness, because Yueguilin was the unique name of the elven settlement.
As for what would happen if it didn't go well, he didn't say, Levi didn't ask, just nodded slightly, and then continued to direct the troops to attack, the enemy had almost collapsed on all fronts, and now it was time to harvest.
Ten minutes later, the short ambush battle ended, following Levi's Traceless Guild, and in the end only one player escaped, plus less than 30 faster troops, and the rest were all killed by Levi and Kiyoizumi Liuxiang.
Levi's troops had killed almost eighty percent of them, and nearly thirty percent of them had been killed by Wallace and her Rock Sheep cavalry, each of whom had killed almost four or five enemies.
In addition to Huamez herself being promoted to another level, there are also 3 Rock Sheep cavalry among her younger brothers who have been promoted to the elite, but there is no loss at all, thanks to Huames's strength, she is simply unstoppable with a purple legendary spear, and no enemy unit can stop her, even if those desperate players launch suicide attacks later, there is still nothing to do with her.
Qingquan Liuxiang's troops killed 2 percent, that is, about 80 enemies, but the numbers may not be remarkable, but you must know that he has never sent any melee troops in this battle, except for two cavalry, relying on all his ranged units, which is not a lot at all!
After a simple distribution of the spoils, and a good compliment to Huames, Levi continued to let the other party as a pioneer to the front to reconnoitre, although the dwarf beast tamer arrived at the Thunder Eagle is still flying, but that guy's intelligence is far from being comparable to Huames, seeing that it is almost to the Ten Thousand Demon Rock, it is more reliable to let Huamesi go.
Qingquan Liuxiang, who had been given a lot of loot, was also very satisfied, although these players of the Traceless Guild didn't have any good equipment, but they didn't have a shortage of supplies and the like, and this happened to be what he needed the most.
Looking at Hua Meisi in the distance, Qingquan Liuxiang's eyes were full of envy, and he finally couldn't suppress his exuberant curiosity: "Levi, what kind of soldier is that little girl?" Why is it so powerful? ”
Levi laughed: "She's not a soldier, she's my sister!" ”
Qingquan Liuxiang naturally didn't believe what Levi said about his sister, because although the little girl was very smart, after this period of contact, he still judged that the other party was an NPC, and more importantly, absolutely no player could be as fierce as her!
"Wait a minute," the clear spring suddenly sounded the information circulating on the forum, saying that the higher the player in the siege, the more valuable the things rewarded by the lords in various places, among which there is even a hero order that can make ordinary troops advance to heroes, shouldn't it...
