Chapter 164: Departure

Levi quickly returned to the Far Wanderer camp, returned the Rank 2 horseback attendants to Captain Cam, and explained to them that he was going to travel far away.

After listening to Levi's words, the captain of the garrison, Cam, was not too surprised, but first congratulated Levi on becoming an official Ranger Knight, and then he muttered: "Levi, this is a good thing, all the young knights of Bretonnia will experience this kind of thing, only by passing, they can become stronger." Your current strength is also very good, I don't have anything to teach you, only some command skills that you learned when you were in the empire, I don't know if you are willing to learn? ”

Levi didn't expect such a good thing, he didn't do any tasks, and the other party actually started to reward himself directly, which is probably the feelings accumulated for a long time, he immediately nodded and agreed, and then he found that he had an extra skill in the system panel.

Hold your ground: With the commander's orders, soldiers will work harder to defend, temporarily increasing morale and defense by 2, slightly increasing resistance to knockdown and knockback abilities, costing 10 mana, and the duration and range will depend on the individual's knowledge and charisma.

Although this skill doesn't seem particularly conspicuous, it turns out to be a group buff, and Levi is also very grateful to Captain Cam of the garrison.

After a few polite words, the captain of the garrison, Cam, waved his hand a little impatiently: "Okay, Levi, don't say any more, you are not gone forever, if you really want to thank me, come back as soon as possible and help Oak Village." ”

"Haha, okay, I will." Levi also laughed a little, but then he knew that this should be what the other party really thought.

Garrison Captain Cam hummed twice, then took out a token and handed it to Levi: "Originally, the resources here are not rich, so there is no way to support too many of your high-ranking subordinates, but because of the assistance from Bastogne, this situation has been slightly alleviated." ”

Levi took it and took a look, it turned out to be a recruitment order for a horse squire and a horse squire archer, and compared to the information Levi saw last time, this time the recruitment price was not so exaggerated, probably about thirty percent more expensive than ordinary second-order troops, such as swordsmen.

After thinking a little about his existing money and the maintenance fees of his subordinates, Levi decided to recruit 8 horseback attendants and 4 horse attendant archers, just to form a team, no matter what, they are all rare cavalry at this stage, so they will be led by Huames.

But after the actual recruitment was successful, Levi found that he still slightly overestimated their abilities.

In terms of attributes alone, their attributes are not higher than those of the swordsmen, and their defense is even slightly lower, but they all have a riding skill, and the speed is undoubtedly faster than that of the swordsmen.

But looking at the thin layer of leather armor on these guys, Levi can also roughly understand why it is like this, probably to reduce weight, after all, the horses under their crotch look much worse than their own...

However, Wallames was very happy, because she finally did not have to charge alone, and although Levi also had a mount, he was the commander of the troops, which determined that he could not charge at will as a soldier.

After saying goodbye to the captain of the garrison, Cam, Levi found the mysterious wanderer Slaary and told her that he might not be able to provide those flowing water elements for sale anymore, because the White River was now all occupied by Naga and the fish-men, even the flowing water altar was no exception.

The mysterious wanderer Slarry wasn't much disappointed, anyway, she had many ways to make money, and it wasn't a big deal without this one, but when she heard that Levi was heading to the Grey Mountains, and it seemed that she wanted to go to Fort Marien, she still gave a few words of advice.

"Levi, Marienburg was originally an imperial city, but about a hundred or two hundred years ago, a large number of merchants joined forces to buy the independence of Marienburg from the then mediocre emperor, and since then, Marienburg has become more profit-oriented. They can do anything for the sake of profit. ”

"And because they were the most powerful and wealthy ports in the Old World, they were strong enough to face all threats, even the mighty empire and Bretonnia were powerless against him. And, as a city for profit, any race can be present there, so be careful if you want to head to Marienburg. ”

For the other party's warning, Levi firmly remembered it, although he had also learned about Fort Marien's information from many aspects before, but this was the first time he had heard of this content, it seemed that Fort Marion was very likely to be a black-hearted port that relied on money and strength.

After thanking each other and replenishing the supplies of his troops, Levi finally decided to set off officially, and instead of returning to Oak Village again, he began to head northwest, which was the direction they had not been before, and the closest direction to the Grey Mountains.

In order to avoid encountering any unexpected situation, and in order to let Hua Meisi officially command those riding attendants, Levi simply asked her to take them to the front to reconnoitre, if you encounter a low-level enemy, you can also practice training by the way to see the actual combat ability of the riding attendants, anyway, even if you encounter any strong enemies, with their speed, they can always run back safely, Levi has not encountered any powerful and fast troops near here, after all, this is still within the scope of the novice village.

At first, Hua Meisi was a little unaccustomed to it, but soon she deployed those horse attendants very smoothly, but because the quality of the horses under their crotch was not good, they couldn't keep up with the galloping Xiaobai, which made Hua Meisi a little uncomfortable, but compared to being able to charge with a team of cavalry, this was bearable.

Soon Hua Meisi and the others encountered a team of wandering beastmen, after sending a horse squire back to report, she tentatively launched an attack on the beastmen, anyway, most of the beastmen in front of them are slow pig-headed inferior horns, only the leader is a sheep-headed horned beast, there is no big threat to her at all, just to see the combat effectiveness of the horse riding attendants.

When Levi and the others, who received the report, felt the battlefield, he found that five pig-headed inferior horned beasts had been lying on the ground, and most of the remaining beastmen were also wounded, and the horseback attendants behind Huames were quite a few, and they were preparing to launch a new round of charging under the leadership of Huames.

In the distance, the horseback attendants and archers stopped where they were, and when the beastmen advanced towards them, they immediately stopped what they were doing, and kept their distance from the beastmen, who were actually using the tactics of kite flying.

Leviston was a little surprised, it seems that sometimes it is really impossible to judge whether a class is really strong just from the attributes, these guys are more expensive than the swordsmen, and there is indeed a reason why they are expensive.

With a wave of his hand, Levi's melee troops swarmed up, completely overwhelming the remaining Beastmen squad in an instant, and they were killed before they could launch any resistance.

Huamez immediately ran back happily, Levi saw her expression, and knew that the little girl was very satisfied with the combat effectiveness of these horseback squires, in fact, he also felt good, because from his system panel, he had already found that these horseback squires had basically not lost blood in the battle just now, although it was basically certain that it was because Huameisi was the sharp knife of the charge, resisting most of the attacks of these beastmen, but this was also something that the swordsmen could never do.

"Haha, Levi, these guys are very powerful, but they are cavalry~" Hua Meisi's little face was full of smiles, and even her big eyes were like a pair of crescents.

Levi gently patted the other party's little head: "Okay, if you want to take them to the front to explore the way, and be more familiar with their strength, but you must remember that safety comes first." ”

"Mm-hmm, don't worry, Levi." Hua Meisi nodded hurriedly, then turned and leaned over to the horseback attendants, looking at her appearance, this excitement was estimated to be slowly retreating for some time.

In this way, after encountering several teams of beastmen in a row, Levi clearly felt that Wallames was becoming more and more proficient in commanding the horseback squires, because by the time their follow-up troops arrived, the corpses of the fallen beastmen in front of them were also getting more and more, and it was obviously all due to Wallace.

Levi couldn't help but think thoughtfully, it seems, compared to those infantrymen, Huames likes it more, and is better at commanding cavalry troops, but unfortunately, even Oak Village doesn't have too many resources at the moment, and he can't make up more cavalry troops for her in a short period of time...

Soon, when the horsemen came to report again, things changed slightly, because this time it was no longer the wandering group of beastmen, and Huamez found a group of gnolls in front of him, and there were quite a few of them, about 40 of them.

Although compared to Levi's current subordinates, the other party is no longer much of a threat, because according to the information Levi has collected so far, although the gnolls are more insidious than the beastmen or something, they are basically first-order or second-order creatures, and Levi's current strength is enough to crush them.

However, Levi was not too careless, because the monsters roaming in the wild are usually about 1 squad, but there are 3 and a half squads of enemies directly here, which is a bit abnormal in itself.

Soon Levi rushed to the location of the gnolls with a large army, probably because Huamez and they had alarmed each other before, so now the gnals were already holding their weapons, with their backs to a small wood, facing Levi and the others, and they seemed to be ready for battle.

And after a little glance, Levi also knew why so many gnolls gathered together, because in addition to the common gnolls, gnolls warriors, gnolls scouts and gnolls poachers and other troops, standing at the front of the team was a tall jackal man who was nearly two meters tall and covered in blue-gray fur.

Compared with other gnolls that are thinner than normal humans, this gnoll has strong hair, tight muscles, and a long-handled metal flail in his hand, which is actually a fairly rare gnoll warrior among jackals, some of the 3rd order troops that usually exist as mini-bosses at this stage, and according to the experience of other players, it also has a high chance of being an elite unit.

"It seems that today's luck is not bad, I just ran into a small boss when I went out."

After muttering a few words, Levi gave an order directly to the remote unit: "Sienna, John, you two command your subordinates to attack the gnolls poachers first, followed by the gnolls scouts. ”

The Poachers are all ranged units with bows and arrows, which are a threat to Levi's troops, while the Scouts are agile melee units with low health and low attack power, so they are the best enemies to kill first.

Sienna and John answered at the same time, and after glancing at each other, they began to command their men quickly, although it was not too obvious, but Levi had already seen it, and there was no doubt that a rivalry had been stirred up between them, and Levi would personally ensure that this rivalry would be benign.

With the two waves of arrows after the rain of arrows, several of the gnolls suddenly fell, and the leading gnoll warrior suddenly let out a low roar of annoyance, it originally wanted to wait until the other party reached the shooting range of its own ranged units, shoot some humans, and then organize its own attack, but it didn't expect that the range of these humans was already farther, which made it very annoyed.

But standing and being beaten was not the style of the gnoll, the gnoll warrior immediately let out a low roar, waved the flail and pointed forward, and suddenly the gnolls and gnolls behind him crossed it one after another and rushed towards the humans in front of them, while the gnolls warriors sinisterly mixed in among them and rushed forward together.

Levi just smiled when he saw this, this is the usual tactic of the jackals, and the powerful guys are mixed with the ordinary troops to attack the enemy.

If it were those fledgling rookies, it was really possible to be overshadowed by them, but this didn't help Levi, and with the unique appearance of this gnoll warrior, he would definitely not notice the other party.

Gnolls, gnolls, even if there are human characters in the name, but compared to real humans, their IQ is still too bad...

"Tanato, Guards Davi, the frontal battlefield will be handed over to you, Huames, you take the cavalry to bypass from the flank and deal with the opponent's long-range troops, today we have to hurry as much as possible, it is best to reach the dwarves' fortress, we can't delay too much time on the way."

"Okay, leave it to me, Levi!"

After listening to Levi's words, Hua Meisi immediately raised his spear with an excited face: "Let's go, soldiers, follow me!" ”

With the sound of horses' hooves, Levi saw that Wallamis had bypassed the melee troops that had begun to engage in the front, and rushed towards the relatively vulnerable ranged troops of the gnolls behind, although these gnolls were cunning, but their intelligence was not high enough to leave them behind and protect their ranged troops.

And ten seconds later, the gnolls paid a rather heavy price for this, the cavalry led by Huamez directly launched a charge from the side, the gnolls were immediately hit hard, those gnolls who had experienced the baptism of arrows almost none survived, only a few relatively more agile gnolls scouts barely survived, but they were all covered in blood.

Levi glanced at it and then turned his head away, no longer paying attention, because he knew that it was absolutely impossible for the other party to block Hua Meisi's next charge.

On the frontal battlefield, the situation was also very good, although the gnoll warrior fought bravely, but Tanato only used a giant scythe to suppress it, while the rest of the soldiers, led by the guard Davi, and several foot squires, launched an attack on the gnoll.

At the 3rd order, when they fought against these 2nd order enemies, they immediately showed extraordinary combat effectiveness, and the thin formation of the gnolls was about to be completely chiseled through almost immediately, and the corpses of the gnolls were lying on the ground.

The gnoll warrior, who was suppressed by Tanato, couldn't help but roar angrily for a while, but after a few seconds, it found that its subordinates did not help it to beat up the opponent as before.

After struggling to temporarily repel the powerful human in front of him, the Gnoll Warrior finally couldn't help but look back to see what had happened. But soon it couldn't help but widen its eyes, because the little brothers it had led before, whether they were sturdy gnolls warriors or agile gnolll scouts, were now covered with their corpses everywhere!

At this moment, a human voice suddenly came from behind it: "Ha, come with me, charge!" ”

The Gnoll Warrior hurriedly turned his head to see what was happening, but the black-armored human who had been fighting it took a step forward and knocked it back a few steps with a horizontal slash, and then the Gnoll Warrior felt a sharp pain in his back, and it felt that it flew up in an instant, and then there was only darkness in front of him...
