Chapter 189: The Annoying Guy (For the Heresy of the Ticket King)
Although the Wood Elf named Trisli is haughty, foul-mouthed, and completely unable to speak, her plan is completely feasible, and her subordinates are very good.
After a few waves of arrows and some obvious provocative movements, some of the centaurs who had been happily eating the barbecue made by the Harpy suddenly ran out as if they had seen a bull with red cloth.
In their opinion, there are less than 10 damn wood elves on the other side, and the same number of centaurs is enough to kill them, and the remaining centaurs can continue to eat and drink, and even some centaurs naturally start to think about what to do after they are full, and there are many females among the centaurs.
And it was precisely because they were divided into a part of their forces to chase after them that Levi discovered that there was a leader among the centaurs.
It was a creature that looked almost indistinguishable from other centaurs, and the only thing that was slightly different was probably the weapon it carried around its waist.
The other centaurs were all throwing axes, spears, and battle axes, but it was the only one that carried a large black wooden stick that looked like charcoal burnt on its back, and Levi would not have recognized it had not given the order to divide his forces to pursue him.
Because other enemies, whether it is a wandering squad randomly refreshed by the system, or an aboriginal type monster, or an enemy in a dungeon, there is always something special about any boss.
Either he is extraordinarily tall, or his style is more imposing, or his weapons and equipment are unique, in short, people can basically tell at a glance that he is different.
But this centaur with a black wooden stick on his back is different, its appearance is no different from other centaurs, although Levi has seen its weapons before, but he still thinks that this guy is responsible for the fire and barbecue, so he carries this thing on his back!
However, Levi did not have time to observe it for a while, because as the ground shook slightly, nearly a small group of drunken centaurs had already rushed into the woods and into their ambush site.
Levi raised his hand and threw a dust curse over, and at the same time ordered the armored ogre, whom he named Chubby, to lean over with his frost banner before issuing the order: "Attack!" ”
A large cloud of grayish-yellow sand first surrounded the centaurs, binding their hands and feet, and then some frost power appeared out of thin air, making their blood less smooth, then some arrows broke through the air, and finally some armed coalition troops ran out from behind the trees and launched a vicious attack on the centaurs.
The centaurs, who were rushing over and about to catch up with the wood elves in front of them, were suddenly blinded by a series of attacks. They were still fantasizing about whether they would hack them to death or roast them if they caught up with these damn long ears, but they didn't expect their illusions to be shattered so quickly!
However, after feeling the pain on their bodies, the ferocity of the centaurs was also aroused, and they began to fight back with heavy weapons, and for a moment they were on par with the infantry squires who rushed forward first.
Levi frowned, but he was not too surprised, because he had long known that as the top centaurs in the 3rd order class, their strength was quite strong, and they could definitely defeat the same 3rd order infantry squire one-on-one, not to mention that Levi soon found out that there were 3 centaurs among them who seemed to be elite units, so even if they were besieged and hit by their own magic, they still had the ability to fight back.
Seeing that the wood elves were shouting and responding to the battle according to their previous promises, Levi did not delay time, and directly asked Temu and Huamez to take their subordinates around and outflank the back of the centaurs to prevent them from escaping.
Soon the encirclement was completed, and Levi also saw the appearance of the opponent's first victim.
However, unexpectedly, the opponent did not die at the hands of Tanato, or Varmes, let alone by the fire of ranged troops, but by the wood elf Trisli and her forest guards.
Although the spears in their hands look inconspicuous on the outside, they seem to be just branches cut from trees, and they are used to fight after being pruned casually, but in fact they exert quite good power, even if they are hard to fight with the heavy tomahawks of the centaurs, there is no sign of breaking, and at least half of them should be Tier 3 troops, and their own attack power is also very good.
Levi noticed that the dead centaur's entire face had changed color, and it was obvious that it had been subjected to a venomous attack, not snake venom, but much more ferocious.
This is not an ordinary wood elf skill, it looks like it should belong to their leader Cui Sili, but the gray-black face of the centaur, full of ominous aura, makes Levi feel a little familiar inexplicably, as if he has seen a similar situation somewhere, but he can be sure that he has not been exposed to this strong poison, otherwise he would not have any impression, which is a little strange.
After secretly noting this, Levi continued to command the troops in battle, while not forgetting to send someone to guard the movements of the rest of the centaurs.
Although this ambush site is a hillside that obscures the view and is a forest, it is not particularly far from the centaur camp in a straight line, coupled with the various shouts and screams that inevitably appear in the battle, especially the dwarves who habitually shout the names of their various gods and ancestors, the movement is definitely not small.
However, it was probably because the centaurs were immersed in pleasure and wine, or they trusted their brothers enough, until the centaurs were completely dead, and there was no movement there, let alone reinforcements.
Levi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and killed the strength of the opponent's squad at one time, no matter what method he adopted, it would be much easier to deal with the centaurs, if such an action could be repeated a few more times, and if it was successful, then he probably wouldn't need these foul-mouthed wood elves at that time.
As soon as the short ambush battle was over, the wood elves Cui Sili ignored the blood stains on the ground and the severed limbs, and couldn't wait to start groping on the corpses of the centaurs, and the wood elves did not lay down their weapons, but continued to stand there on guard.
Levi unconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, because looking at the appearance of these wood elves, they were obviously not vigilant at the moment, but their own group, if it was just to search for lost property, as for being so careful?
"Kelly," Levi whispered the name of the Half-Elf Blade Guard, who had been staying by her side as a guard with the half-blood hunter Dahl, "to see what they were looking for, although they had some strength, we were the main force in the battle, and even if there was any loot, we should look at it first, and be careful." ”
After the battle just now, Levi could conclude that most of these wood elves were third-order troops, and Cui Sili was at least a third-order elite, but their number was there after all, so in the battle just now, Levi's side contributed the most.
"Yes, sir!" Kelly nodded vigorously, and then hurried towards the wood elves with brisk steps.
In the face of Kelly's approach, the wood elves did not react at first, but when Kelly showed their intentions, they immediately became nervous, and their weapons were raised, Kelly naturally quickly retreated, and at the same time made a color towards Levi, and the dwarves who were resting next to them were the first to react.
"Damn, you vile and treacherous little things, what do you want to do?"
The first to speak was the two-axe fighter Tiemu, his eyes were wide at the moment, and it seemed that he had been wary of the wood elves, so he was able to react so quickly.
Levi was also feeling a little bored, and he wondered if he should take this opportunity to kill these damn wood elves.
Presumably to search for the centaur's body, they were now unwittingly surrounded by their own troops. Although almost all of them were Tier 3 troops, in this situation, Levi had absolute confidence that he would defeat them and not lose too much.
Levi reached out and stroked the spear, turning it fiery red in an instant, and at the same time reached out to summon the young thornback lizard: "Cui Sili, my patience has reached the limit!" ”
If the other party continues like this, he doesn't mind killing them directly, although the task is important and the rewards are certainly generous, but he plays games for fun, not to be bullied by these damn wood elves!
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, the originally quite arrogant wood elf Cui Sili suddenly changed her attitude, and the original arrogance on her face was no longer there, but with a somewhat stiff smile: "Stop, sisters, these humans are not our enemies!" ”
After waving her hand to stop the commotion of the wood elves, Trisley turned her head and smiled stiffly at Levi, "I'm sorry, humans, my sisters have lived in the forest for generations, so they are not very good at dealing with other races. ”
Compared with before, her attitude has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, as if she has completely changed a person, this look suddenly stunned most of the people present, even the dwarf Tiemu, who has always been deeply hostile to them, can't maintain that angry look for a while, dwarves are the most typical ones who eat soft and not hard.
"Hey, what the hell are you treacherous little things up to?" Although Timber was only just above the chest of the Wood Elves, he screamed at a small thing.
Cui Sili glanced at him, but she didn't mean to reply at all, for her own purposes, she could temporarily bow her head like the human in front of her, but it didn't mean that she would bow her head like a dwarf, she looked directly at Levi: "I'm sorry, human, I'm just a little anxious to recover our lost belongings, as for your loot, we will definitely not take possession of it." ”
As she spoke, Trisley motioned to her forest guards to take some rough battle axes and spears, ignoring the dwarves and handing them over to the half-elf Kelly, regardless of whether she could handle those things or not.
Levi motioned for the others to go up and help, anyway, most of the credit for killing these centaurs was his own group, and he didn't feel any guilt at all when he held these things: "Cui Sili, I'll forgive you this time, but next time I hope you will pay attention to it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Cui Sili nodded: "Of course, it was my mistake just now, I'm sorry." Oh, and there are quite a few rare half-elves among your subordinates? I didn't expect to run into it twice in just one week. ”
Cui Sili seemed to have seen some novel treasure, her eyes couldn't stop lingering on the half-elves, she had just seen these people, but out of her own arrogance, she didn't have the heart to take a closer look at the other party's appearance, so she only found out now.
"Twice? Are there half-elves around here? ”
While talking to the other party, Levi waved his hand to signal his subordinates to let go of the encirclement of the wood elves, he didn't know why the other party's attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn, but since the other party has softened, and now there is still a place to use the other party, let's leave them alive first, and he noticed that Kelly next to him hinted at him again, obviously she just found out.
"That's right, I've seen some migrating half-elves on the outskirts of the Blight, and the poor ones seem to have been destroyed by the greenskins, and might still be alive if they hadn't broken into the Blight."
Cui Sili said indifferently, obviously, she definitely didn't lend a helping hand at the beginning, and even treated other races with the attitude of wood elves, if those half-elves strayed into their territory, I am afraid that they would be attacked by their people.
Both the half-elves Sienna and Kelly looked at Levi a little nervously, obviously worried about their kindred who had never met, as a sparse number of half-elves with low social status, they were far more united than humans, even if there was only one message from each other, they were also very concerned.
But Levi shook his head slightly, the withered land is the nest of the wood elves, a territory in the Great Forest of Athel Loren, it is far to the east of the Bretonnian knight kingdom, separated from here by a mountain, across the river, and there are several dukedoms in the middle, to say the least there are hundreds of miles, these wood elves who are not too strong don't know how to come here so smoothly, but it will be much more difficult for Levi and his troops to go there.
And there's no need for that.
Although Levi was very sympathetic to the suffering of the half-elves after learning about it, in such a world where battles are frequent, weakness itself is a sin, and he does not have the strength to change their state, so there are more important things to do at the moment.
"Okay, Cui Sili, the cooperation just now is quite smooth, please start the second time, I hope this time it won't cause misunderstanding."
Cui Sili smiled slightly, obviously in a very good mood, even if they had just encountered the threat of force from Levi, they did not have any resentment on the surface, it was like a different person.
"Of course, people, no, Levi's, let's go, please arrange the ambush as soon as possible." As she spoke, Cui Sili picked up her weapon and set off, looking a little heroic and charming.
After the other party left, Levi's face sank: "Kelly, what did you just find?" It was the other party who gave him a look before that Levi's attitude softened.
"My lord, although the wood elf moves quickly and secretly, I still found that the wood elf has put some gray-black sharp crystals that can't help but emit a faint green light into the pocket of his waist."
"I don't think I've seen this kind of appearance, but I've just heard of it...
Levi immediately remembered what Mage Ofini had learned from the Nezumi Vault, and the wandering wizard Camelot had said something similar, it was the Dimension Stone, the favorite of death mages and beastmen!
Tanato, obviously, also thought of it with Levi, after all, he was a Moorish knight who specialized in dealing with the undead, and it was almost impossible to say that he had never seen such a thing, but now his face was full of consternation: "My lord, listening to Miss Kelly's description, it seems to be a fragment of the dimensional stone!" But what the wood elves are best at is natural magic, right? That kind of thing hurt them even more than ordinary humans, so how could she carry it with her? ”
Levi smiled playfully: "Yes, I'm also curious, it seems that our wood elf Miss Cui Sili, her identity is not necessarily as simple as it seems." And, since Thanato, you mentioned natural magic, I wonder if this Trisley, the gray-black glow on her spear, belongs to natural magic, or death magic, or rather, belongs to the magic of the beastmen? ”
He had already noticed that the light on Cui Sili's spear was not normal, although it showed a certain toxic effect, but unlike the poisonous snake's toxin, the gray-black aura was full of ominous aura, coupled with the dimensional stone that Kai Li said, and such a contradictory change in the other party, Levi immediately had a rough judgment.
This Cui Sili is definitely doing something that violates the traditions and rules of the Wood Elves, which is why she is so eager now, wanting to use the power of herself and others to kill the centaurs.
And after the matter is over, in order to hide her true purpose, I can't say what other means will be used to frame Levi and the others, Levi remembers that the other party said before that they were just one of the teams that came to search for centaurs.
There are not too many such squads, as long as there are 3 or 5 more, Levi's troops are probably going to be wiped out, and even if Levi is lucky to win, according to the character of these wood elves, they can cross hundreds of miles to hunt down some centaurs who steal their property, so what kind of attitude will Levi have towards Levi who killed their people?
