Act Twenty-One: The First Battle of Ogre

In order to escape from the goblins, Locke made several round-trips in the grasslands of the Arathi Heights, until he determined that the goblins were incapable of discovering their location. Locke made the decision to return to Deadwood Village.

On the way home, Locke cautiously noticed whether there were any stalking creatures, and he was delayed for a while.

Five days later, Locke rode a velociraptor and quickly ran towards Deadwood Village, but to Locke's surprise, the Deadwood Troll Patrol that was usually on guard did not encounter any of them today, which made Locke's heart rise a bad feeling.

"What the hell is going on? Where are the Deadwood Tribe's guards? Locke thought to himself, but there was no show on his face.

Liliana said softly, "I felt an unstable arcane wave in the air. ”

At this time, Locke grabbed the reins of Animan because before his eyes, there was a picture of the smoke rising slowly from the forest of Deadwood Village in the middle of the mountains, and the earth-shattering drums echoed in the forest.

Locke knew the sound of the drum, it was the drumbeat of the Deadwood tribe being attacked by the enemy, and Locke had only heard it in his previous life when the Hinterland Evil Branch tribe invaded the Arathi Plateau.

"Yes." Locke looked at the Deadwood Tribe not far away, and in the vicinity of the Deadwood Tribe, the only one who had the ability to pose a threat to the Deadwood Tribe was the Stone Fist Ogre Tribe not far away, an ally that had formed an alliance in the Second Orc War!

"Liliana, it's ogres, these beasts are attacking the Deadwood Tribe." Locke paused, and then said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you can go." ”

Liliana blinked her blue eyes and said slowly, "No, I want to see what the war between the tribes is like, don't worry, I have recovered a lot of strength in the past few days, maybe I can help you." ”

Since Liliana said this, Locke couldn't continue, he nodded, and then patted the somewhat restless velociraptor Animan "Come on, man, let's hurry up and head to the Deadwood Tribe and see what's going on." ”

Smoke filled the air, and when the smoke made of hay rose into the air, it often echoed with screams, either the screams of trolls or ogres.

The closer Locke rode the velociraptor and ran, the louder the screams and roars became, and the roars were mixed with the sound of weapons colliding.

"Whoa!" The sound of breaking through the air from the right made the velociraptor Animan jump quickly to the left.

I only saw that in the smoke and dust, a huge ogre slowly walked out of the smoke, he was bloated, holding a mace in his hand, and what was even more strange was that he had two heads.

"What do I see?"

"Elves and humans, flesh and flesh!"

The ogre didn't take a step before the earth trembled slightly.

At this time, Locke had already jumped off the body of the velociraptor Animan and took down the silver greatsword in his hand, carefully observing the ogre in front of him, in the old horde period, the ogre was a raiding unit on the battlefield, they were infinitely powerful, physically strong, and did not have enough knowledge of death...... It is the cannon fodder class of the old tribe.

However, it is undeniable that in terms of the powerful attribute of strength, ogres are even more powerful than orcs, not to mention, among ogres, those powerful mages even impress most of the tribesmen.

It is impossible for a forest troll to stand up to an ogre in terms of strength, let alone Locke.

Locke placed the silver greatsword in his hand sideways in a defensive stance, he was not completely sure that he would defeat the ogre in front of him, but reason told him that this battle must be fought quickly. Because in the village of Deadwood not far away, High Priest Ryan is still leading most of the forest trolls to support him, perhaps waiting for his rescue.

"Ogre, did you know how many wings a bird has?" Locke said calmly.

The ogre was slightly stunned, but the next moment, he launched a charge against Locke: "I want meat and flesh, humans are good meat, and the meat of trolls is not delicious, it is very hard." ”

The mace in the ogre's hand made a crackling sound in the air, and Locke had no doubt that if he took the blow hard, he might be sent flying by himself. So Locke moved to the right, and of course shot a throwing spear.

"Wow"

Blood gushed out from the ogre's waist, and the hot blood surprised the ogre, and his two huge eyes instantly turned red: "I'm going to kill you." ”

"Eat you!"

Locke was very calm at the moment, he activated the evil aura, and then seized the moment of the ogre's rage, walked forward quickly, and sent the silver greatsword in his hand into the ogre's abdomen.

A large amount of blood spurted from the ogre's abdomen, which also made the ogre go crazy, and it raised its mace in its hand to smash Locke in front of it.

A huge mace appeared on top of Locke's head, and Locke was taken aback, if he took a mace at this distance, Locke would definitely not be able to recover his full health tonight.

At this moment, there was an arcane wave in the air, and a brilliant purple magic arrow shot out of Liliana's hand, hitting the ogre's body with unmistakable accuracy.

The ogre didn't even snort, it just turned into ashes and disappeared in front of Locke.

"You have gained 196 experience"

"Liliana, have you regained your strength?" Locke said to Liliana beside him, he was a little surprised, if Liliana regained her strength, then it means that now Liliana only needs to show her blue dragon might, and she can directly drive these ogres away.

Liliana just shook her head and said slowly, "No, I haven't fully recovered yet, I just have the ability to cast some small magic." ”

Locke nodded. Then he glanced at his experience and found that the gains of the past few days were enough to raise his level by one level again.

"Death Knight...... Damn, if I keep leveling up this class, won't I be going to be an undead again soon? Locke muttered quietly, but when he raised his head and looked at the battle-torn village of Deadwood not far away, he sighed, if he couldn't get rid of the invading ogre in a short time, then his efforts would be in vain. If he didn't have the identity of the chief of the Deadwood Tribe, how could the Evil Branch tribe let an outsider become Zurkin.

"Assign all XP points to the Death Knight."

"Death Knight level up to level 3, your strength increases by 1 point, you learn Ice Chains, Death Coil."

[Ice Chain]: Consumes 2 Ice Runes to form an Ice Chain at the enemy's feet, dealing 150% weapon damage and imprisoning them in place for 2 seconds, then reducing their movement speed by 30%.

[Death Coil]: Consumes 40 rune energy to throw a piece of death magic at the enemy, dealing 225% weapon damage and 300 base damage, and if used on undead subordinates, it will always cause critical hit recovery.

Locke sighed. In the thick smoke, a rush of footsteps gradually came out. Presumably it was the fight just now that angered the ogre not far away.
