The priest insisted that we stay until we had completed the task we did not know, and refused to say what it was, but insisted that we stay on the surface and wait for the right time.

The instructor who led the team did not object. In the Demon Blade Academy, the priest status of the Spider Academy is also higher than that of the ordinary instructors of the Mage School and the Fighting Tower.

But I think something is wrong.

I don't know the content of the priest's mission, so I can't doubt it. However, as time passed, I became more and more uneasy, and I couldn't think of anything wrong.

No one in the village of the High Elves should be able to escape, right? At least that's what the instructors think. If you kill them all, you won't be found out about the destruction of the village for a while, so you don't have to worry about retaliation for the time being.

Is there something overlooked?

That's right, it's the variables that players bring!

The High Elves are also one of the player's optional races. Although the destroyed villages seem to be mainly villages where NPCs gather, it is difficult to ensure that there are not a few players mixed in. If there are players, you can notify other players in the game in reality as soon as possible, but it is estimated that the player's ability will not be too high now, and he should not be able to hold important positions yet. NPCs in positions of importance will only listen to the testimony of the person concerned, which means that only people who have actually experienced the massacre can report the crime.

NPCs must be helped by others to revive in order to be revived, and the chance of respawning is low. However, after death, the player's soul can be resurrected in a nearby temple. The cost of the Temple's "Full Resurrection" can be replaced with XP, but the waiting time for resurrection varies depending on the level, 1 hour for level 1, and then the number of levels stacked one by one, with the waiting time being 3 hours for level 2 and 6 hours for level 3......

If it's a high-level player, don't worry, players above level 2 will probably leave the surface after waiting for the respawn time to expire. However, if there is a level 1 player...... The news of the destruction of the village can be known in other places in the high elf after 1 hour, and it is easy to verify the correctness of the news with spells...... If the High Elves had an armed convoy, perhaps they were already tracking down the killers in the destroyed village, our tracks, and were on their way to take revenge on the invaders......

I was taken aback by my own thoughts. hurriedly talked to the instructor about this hidden worry, and the instructor was quite unimpressed. NPC intelligence has never been able to understand the difference between players and them, perhaps this is also stipulated by the game system.

I had no choice but to leave the cave by myself and find a place with a good view and convenient concealment. The cave is located some way from the ruined village, but it won't be too difficult for foresters familiar with the surface to find our tracks.

Preemptively strike before the other party finds out about us. Now I'm a grasshopper on the same rope as these NPC idiots.

The twinkling stars in the sky had not yet faded, and I had already condescendingly noticed movement in the woods in the direction of the destroyed village.

The woods were so dense that I couldn't see the approaching team too clearly, so I could only count through the gaps between the branches and leaves, ten, twenty, or thirty? Depend on! It's too hard to count.

Instead of counting them one by one, I broadened my field of view to a single area, silently memorizing the movements that occurred simultaneously in the gaps in the trees, and calculating the approximate number of people over time. Well, there won't be less than 30 people.

I can't see the appearance of the person who came, but it is estimated that the person who came is not good, and eighty percent of the things I was worried about before really came.

Carefully stealth through the trees and rocks, and sneak back to the cave. Be extra cautious at this time, as it is said that surface elves can see twice as far as humans in the dim light of stars, moonlight, and torches. Of course, for us dark elves, in the dim environment, it's like a surface creature seeing in bright light, well, perhaps, a little brighter.

Telling the instructor about the matter, he gritted his teeth and said, "These surface are coming quickly this time!" ”

…… Didn't I warn you before!

The instructor took out a glass prosthetic eye from the bag of materials around his waist and placed it in front of his eyes, reciting the incantation.

He stared intently, his eyes seeming to see into the distance through a glass prosthetic eye.

This is the "Eagle Eye" spell that allows the caster to focus on a certain location and see as if they were there. Distance is not an issue, the point is that the caster needs to be familiar with that place, or if it is the obvious location.

The instructor had raided the elf village with us, and was fairly familiar with the woods in that direction, and I had reported to him the approximate location of the other party. Therefore, it is barely eligible for the use of the "Eagle Eye Technique".

A few minutes later, the instructor finished the spell with a gloomy face.

"It's a team of high elves, numbering more than 30, and they've brought the beasts of the surface to track our tracks, so the march hasn't slowed us down. The other party came prepared, and the number was three times that of us......" the instructor mused.

"The proud Dark Elves must not back down in the face of Rose's enemies! Destroy them all! The priest screamed.

Depend on! I hate religious fanatics.

"Back into the ground, the high elves don't dare to chase down. Even if we chase down, we have a good position...... "Alas, I originally wanted to say that more is better than less, and I proposed to retreat first."

Seeing the current situation, I had to change my tone and put forward a second plan: "So, before they find out about us, let's ambush them first and give them a head-on attack, right?" ”

The instructor seemed to be very suspicious of the priest's opinion, and after thinking about it, he agreed: "This is a remote location, and it came so quickly, it won't be the elite from the city, it may just be the guards organized by the nearby villages and towns...... That's a lot, we've killed a hundred or so elves before. You are all elites selected from the best students in the Demon Blade Academy, and you are completely outnumbered. Destroy them! "The last sentence is shouted at everyone.

Come on, most of the hundred or so high elves in that village are just low-level ordinary villagers, and the combat strength of the people who are chasing them will not be so bad.

"Praise Rose! All for the prestige of the Spider God Queen! The priest shouted feverishly.

I really hate religious fanatics...... Especially since she only patronizes a series of buff spells on herself.

The Level 3 Arcane "Invisible Orb" can make all creatures within a 3-meter radius of the recipient invisible. Affected mobs will appear outside the area of effect, but mobs that walk into the area of effect after casting will not become invisible.

We commandos can't see each other under the influence of the "Invisible Orb", but we can see ourselves and the team of high elves who are about to enter the ambush circle.

I tightened my grip on the compound bow and aimed it at a target, and although I couldn't see my companions around me, I could imagine that the crossbow they were holding in their hands had also found its target.
