Chapter 214: The Undead's Lair
With the goal of fighting, in the next battle, Tudou and the others were extremely brave, and even in order to kill the undead patrol as soon as possible, these chosen heroes went into battle to kill in person.
I have to say that their results are not bad. With the innate high attributes and high growth of the Chosen Heroes, plus the additional attributes of the equipment, although they are not as powerful as the 3rd tier troops for the time being, they are stronger than the ordinary 2nd tier troops.
And this is only because they didn't have much personal combat experience before this, if they have enough time and enough combat experience, they have a good chance of exerting more powerful combat effectiveness.
In fact, most players at this stage are like this, because compared to those aborigines who have been in this world for decades and have practiced martial arts for a long time, players will inevitably fall behind in terms of combat skills.
For example, Levi and Wallace.
If the attributes, skills and equipment of the two of them are adjusted to the same level, and then let the two of them go head-to-head, even if Levi is quite confident, he has to admit that even if he relies on his own cleverness, I am afraid that he may not be able to defeat Huamesi once or twice in a hundred times, after all, Huamesi has been practicing martial arts for a long, long time, and he is more suitable for those powers than Levi.
After paying some price, Levi and the others finally arrived at the undead lair that Huames had previously scouted.
As Wallace said, it was shrouded in some gray-white mist, and the air was constantly wafting with a rancid smell that made everyone who smelled it frown.
And the two leopards with the keenest sense of smell under Levi's command and a fierce lion kept covering their noses and retreated, as if they didn't want to get closer.
Tiemu couldn't help but spit out: "Phew, the smell of rotting corpses is really unbearable." ”
Before Levi could respond, a somewhat sharp, slippery, and uncomfortable-sounding male voice suddenly came from the mist: "You damn creatures, I can't stand the stench of you too!" ”
Then, as if echoing his words, a series of terrifying clicks sounded, and Levi immediately became a little vigilant, because it definitely represented a rather terrifying number of skeleton legions!
Soon, a group of skeleton soldiers walked out of the undead lair with a fairly neat pace, and the number was quite large, as Levi had estimated. Not counting the hidden in the mist, there were at least more than five hundred skeleton soldiers as far as his eyes could see.
They carry swords or swords, or spears in their hands. Although the weapons are all different, the materials are almost the same, all made of miserable white bones, and the rudimentary standard armor on many skeleton soldiers also told Levi that at least more than half of these guys are Tier 2 skeleton soldiers!
"Just, kidding, huh?"
"How can there be so many?"
Tudou and a few others were suddenly a little frightened, you must know that although they were able to deal with the enemy of a patrol before, it would take a lot of effort to defeat the other party, but now there are so many second-order skeleton soldiers here, and they can definitely crush them easily!
"Haha, shouldn't you have expected it a long time ago? You must know that even the original Avengers lost at least hundreds of subordinates before they killed the undead of a village with human lives. Although their strength was still very weak at the beginning, it was enough to see their strength. ”
First affirmed the strength of the other party, so as not to underestimate the opponent by a few budding newcomers, Levi then said quite demagoguously: "But, think about it, the Avengers gathered so many talents to capture a village, if we can do the same thing... ”
Potatoes suddenly perked up, although they knew that when the Avengers acted, they basically relied on the 1st order troops, and the 2nd order troops were very few, and now the progress of the game is obviously much faster than at the beginning, and even they have a team of 2nd order troops, so they really can't make such a simple comparison. But I have to say, it's really tempting!
"Boss, you say, what are we going to do!"
"That's right, Boss, we'll all listen to you!"
A few little Mengxin suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and they were full of fighting spirit. Although they were still very worried about the enemy's strength, they were afraid that they would be wiped out if they were not careful, and all their efforts would be completely destroyed.
But if you think about it from the other side, even Boss Levi didn't retreat, if he was defeated, his losses would be countless times higher than that of himself and the others combined, okay?
The boss is so confident, how can the younger brother retreat from the battle?!
"Well, wait for my orders." Levi nodded, and then continued to wait for the movement of the undead, because a path suddenly parted between those skeleton soldiers, and it was obvious that there was a high-ranking enemy about to appear, so it was not too late to observe and then start a battle.
And let's be honest, even if he wanted to let the ranged troops attack first, due to the nature of the skeletons, the damage that the bow and arrows can do is very limited, and the ammunition of the musketeers is better reserved for more important enemies, which is too wasteful to use on these skeletons.
Levi didn't give the order, and several dwarves didn't move even though they were nervous, so as not to delay Levi's arrangement.
Soon, under their gaze, the real enemy appeared in their sight.
It was an enemy dressed in black and red robes, holding a staff of white bones in one hand and a book in the other.
He had long, slick shawl hair, two large blue and dark circles on his pale face, and nothing more striking than the corners of his mouth, where a pair of sharp fangs poked out of his mouth.
After combining the identity of the other party, Levi immediately knew that this was a vampire, and it seemed that he was still a mage vampire, because as he moved forward, he was muttering something in his mouth, and then the black-red mist had quickly floated up, and the gray-white mist that had been shrouded nearby was also rapidly converging in his hand, he was obviously using magic, and it didn't seem to be ordinary magic!
Levi immediately felt that something was wrong, and he immediately called the name of the half-elf: "Sienna!" ”
"Yes, the target is that vampire, rocket launch! Dwarven musketeers concentrate their shots! Without any hesitation, Sienna immediately commanded the long-range troops and launched an attack according to the plan that had been laid out long ago.
"Haha, damn human, it's too late! Come out, my servant, bull-headed maniac! ”
With the rampant laughter of the male vampire, all the mist suddenly rolled inward, and then the four of them were more than three meters five tall, even taller than Levi's ogre Chubby, with extremely majestic figures, and a pair of huge skeletons with horns on their heads, which appeared in front of the vampire out of thin air.
Sienna and the others' attacks happened to fall on them, and with a thud, these tall skeletons didn't seem to be hurt much, because they were covered with a layer of armor made entirely of white bone!
The vampire suddenly laughed even more wildly: "Hahaha, it's useless, this is a bull head maniac bone that I carefully made, do you think it's those ordinary skeleton soldiers?" Now obediently wait for death! Offensive! ”
Didn't grind and chirp like an ordinary villain, the vampire directly issued the order to attack, all the skeleton soldiers present moved, the click of bone friction was a bit deafening, and the only female player in the team, Tomato, couldn't help but scream quietly, but she quickly blocked her mouth again, and looked at the surging white bone group in front of her with some excitement.
It's just that no one pays attention to her anymore, and even the few little boys who have a good impression of her on weekdays don't have the energy anymore, because the big war is just around the corner!
Levi immediately began to deploy the combat mission quickly: "Tanato, Burke, Temu, and Huameis, you each lead a team to resist this so-called bull-headed maniac bone, the Great Swordsman, you lead the team to support." Sienna, you take ranged units for concentrated shooting, with reducing the number of enemies as the first priority. As for the Beast Tamer, let me see your new treasures, and if they're too weak, don't want me to build any big houses for your treasures!" ”
Most of his subordinates responded and began to move, while the animal trainer laughed: "Don't worry, Lord Hero, I will definitely get my house!" Come out, babes! ”
In the past, the dwarven beast trainer had tried to ask Levi for an extra house, not because he wanted to change his residence, but because he wanted to live for his thunder eagles, forest leopards, and ferocious lions, but Levi did not agree at the time.
Although there is absolutely no shortage of this land in Hope Valley, there are also materials for building houses. However, based on the bandit personality of the dwarven beast tamer, Levi decided that he could not follow the other party, but was ready to make it a little difficult, or give the other party a task, and then give the house to the other party as a task reward.
In fact, after realizing the unique character of the other party, Levi also looked for a solution, because he would definitely recruit more 4th-order or even higher-level troops in the future, and he couldn't be so cunning with every subordinate, right? He didn't have that much time and energy.
After some searching and research, he finally unexpectedly got the information he was looking for on the forum, which was a post made by a green player.
Generally speaking, when the personal strength of the Chosen Hero is insufficient, or there is no way to meet some hidden requirements, but he accidentally recruits some classes that should not be recruited at this stage, it may lead to a rebellious mentality among his subordinates.
While they are unlikely to rebel, they are also unlikely to obey orders from the Chosen Heroes. Usually this only happens with classes with special templates, such as the Dwarven Beasttamer in front of you.
The situation of this dwarven beast tamer is not bad, according to the greenskin player, although several of his thorny subordinates did not rebel against him, but they asked him to go head-to-head every now and then, and said that he would use heads-up to decide who was the boss and who should listen to his command in the future battle, which gave him a headache.
To solve this problem, the green-skinned player also proposed two possibilities, the first is the method that Levi is currently adopting, using some small strategies, but this can only cure the symptoms and not the root cause.
The second, however, has a very high chance of fundamentally solving the problem, that is, to increase the strength to the point where it can surpass these thorns, or to the extent that it is so powerful that it can completely suppress these thorns. Then these guys will definitely not dare to find fault again, but will be like other subordinates, honestly as an ordinary subordinate.
Levi couldn't achieve the second option for the time being, so he had to rely on the first one. But so far, he's doing pretty well.
"As for the potatoes, you guys, according to your own ability, participate in the battle appropriately, and the most important thing is to protect those miners, because it is likely to be related to whether we can win the battle beautifully, and how much you can gain later."
With the vampire's spell, the gray-white mist in front of it also disappeared almost completely, revealing some buildings made of white bones inside, although it seems that most of them are not yet completed, but simple fortifications such as fences and horses are already in place, and it is just right to send dwarven miners to attack, because destroying these fortifications will also be rewarded with experience points.
Although they were shocked by the strength of their boss when he became really serious, several dwarven players showed good qualities, and they responded to Levi's one after another, saying that they would not drop the chain at this critical moment.
After losing some of the low-level cannon fodder troops, the Minotaurs were held back, and Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
Because according to the battle situation, these minotaurs who seem to be minotaurs before their deaths, the most outstanding thing is their defense, their attack power can only be said to be mediocre, and the attack speed is still medium to low.
If they are against cannon fodder troops, they will sweep across the battlefield like tanks, but when facing enemies of similar level, it is difficult for them to gain the upper hand, and at most they can only delay their own death with their high defense and high health, and buy opportunities for other troops.
And it just so happens that Levi's most powerful subordinates have the same strength as the bull head and crazy bones, or even higher.
In particular, the Moorish knight Tanato, who specializes in fighting the undead, and Huamez, who can release white energy and restrain the undead, are not inferior to each other, and even after becoming familiar with each other's attacks, they have gradually begun to gain the upper hand.
On the other hand, the great swordsman, who had recently taken refuge in Levi, was eager to show his strength in the first official large-scale battle, so he did not completely obey Levi's orders, but coincidentally got the opportunity to fight a bull-told.
So he immediately had a careful thought, he wanted to kill the enemy in the shortest possible time, so that he could show his strength and live up to Lord Levi's approval!
Although Levi frowned slightly, he didn't completely blame the other party, because just now the bull-headed maniac launched a charge, directly across a long distance, and Timwood and Burke didn't have time to stop it, which was considered to give the great swordsman a chance to challenge alone. Now it seems that with the assistance of the infantry attendants, his results are not bad.
The fourth Minotaur looked weaker, as it faced two dwarves who were only waist-tall.
Although whether it is Ironwood or Burke, they are all third-order elites, but in the face of the condescending bull bone, they were still suppressed in a short time, because the bull head bone they faced used a heavy hammer, and each of its attacks could cause a certain repulsion effect, which made the dwarf very uncomfortable.
So in the end, the dwarves had to change their tactics. The elite dwarven guard with a shield in one hand and an axe in the other began to defend with all his might, and he spent most of his time dodging and blocking, and then cooperated with his brothers, some Tier 3 dwarven guards to defend together. The task of attacking is basically handed over to the double-axe fighter Tiemu, although the enemy is very fierce, but the two of them cooperate very well, and they belong to the steady and steady type.
Although the four squads were strong and weak, the attack of the four bullheads and wild bones was contained accordingly, and with the follow-up of the follow-up troops, the momentum of the undead attack was suddenly resisted.
The vampire mage was also a little shocked for a while, he didn't expect the other party to be able to resist his most powerful summon, you must know that this is a spell that the lord got from a distant foreign country, if it wasn't for his mission this time, a vampire like him would not have a chance to get it at all!
But after seeing the battlefield clearly, he laughed sadly: "Hmph, arrogant and stupid human, do you think this is the end? ”
The staff and scroll in the vampire mage's hand danced at the same time, and then four or five chaotic spells quickly drifted towards Tanato and the others.
I don't know if it's because his accuracy is not enough, or if the magic is not deep enough, these magic did not completely fall on them, but they were also dyed in several different colors, and their attacks, speed, etc. were also reduced to varying degrees.
Levi checked their status and found that they were all hit by the other party's curse-based necromancy, which was mainly based on reducing attributes, and there were no direct attack spells, which made Levi feel a little more at ease.
This vampire is not as strong as he thinks, he is more of a vampire who is more of a summoner than a powerful guy with explosive bursts like Levi met before in Moore Garden, which is good news for him.
However, he was not careless, as almost all players who have fought with creatures like vampires say that they are very treacherous. Although the strength shown by the opponent is already very powerful, it is unlikely to be the full strength of the opponent, and the opponent should still have the hole cards that have not been revealed.
Levi glanced at the situation of the battle on the front line, and suddenly came to an idea, perhaps, he should not immediately take a targeted counterattack, but should make the other party more proud, so that he may expose his hole cards in advance.
Thinking of this, Levi secretly stopped the magic he was about to use, and at the same time signaled the dwarven beast tamer not to use his most powerful junior brother for the time being, because it was likely to turn into a surprise soldier and bring a fatal blow to the opponent!
