From early morning to nearly noon, both Charles and Leng Yue realized that it was a foolish act to forget to buy a horse to travel around when they went out of town, so that they were now sweating profusely.

In the midst of the frustration, the wolf lord, who had disappeared for most of the morning, suddenly ran back at a gallop and reported solemnly: "I found a caravan attacked by a wilderness ogre in front of me......"

"Caravans?" Charles raised his eyebrows slightly, "In this direction, it could only be a caravan shuttling between Cowell and the Secret Lake Valley...... How many ogres are there? ”

"More than thirty, but none of them are ordinary ogres, but skull-crushing ogres!" Zeke said in a deep voice.

"Skull-crushing ogre?"

Leng Yue was puzzled, but Charles sighed when he heard this.

Skull-crushing ogres are a subspecies of ogres that, although shorter than the average ogre and less rude than the main branch, are more disciplined, aggressive, and cruel.

Skull-crushing ogres, specially trained as war soldiers, have long been born, and their villages are lined up like military camps, surrounded by walls and watchtowers to protect their homes, and domesticated war elephants to charge into battle.

With more intuitive level data, the Cranial Ogre has 8 starting levels when it is born, and when it reaches adulthood, a random Cranial Ogre has a level between lv15-lv20, among which the outstanding ones and advanced models are also relatively common.

More than 30 skull-crushing ogres, which is a tribal organization. Charles didn't want to rush over and die in vain, so he cautiously asked, "What about the caravan?" ”

"The caravan is okay, about a hundred guards, resisted for more than an hour, people are sleepy and tired, and the skull-crushing ogre has not yet mounted the war elephant to charge, obviously consuming the physical strength of the caravan guards."

Zeke is smart. When scouting, it's not hard to see the tactics of the Skull-Crushing Ogre team.

Task!

Charles and Leng Yue glanced at each other, both keenly aware that this might be a sudden regional mission in the wilderness, and since the caravan was heading to the Secret Lake Valley, it might be an opportunity.

"Come up—" Charles didn't say a word, and turned over and rode on the back of the wolf, Zeke was huge. It was no problem to sit three or four people on his back, and Leng Yue sat behind Charles. Without Charles's command, Zeke felt that after the two people on his back sat firmly, he immediately started running at full speed.

The rumbling of war drums became clear as the distance approached.

Ten minutes later, Zeke stopped on a slope, Charles and Leng Yue looked down not far on the wolf's back, below was a chaotic battlefield, a large merchant group with a total number of nearly four or five hundred people, but was frightened by more than 30 skull-crushing ogres and fled everywhere.

More than 100 guards formed a formation. Relying on the carriage as a protective fence, barely able to maneuver the brutal skull-crushing ogre, the other combatless merchants and servants shivered near their respective convoys.

Looking down at the battlefield, Charles could clearly see that the more than 30 war elephants brought by the ogre were still on the edge and had not entered the battlefield, while on the contrary, the caravan was already doing its best.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

"Don't give humanity a respite!"

Each skull-crushing ogre is encased in a thick layer of armor. The arrows fired by the guards could not hurt them at all. In the ogre team, there are several skull-crushing ogre officers who stand out. Armed with heavy swords and spiked shields, and clad in spiky black full-body armor, they hid in formation and commanded the attack of ordinary skull-crushing ogres with a loud roar.

Charr's eyes scanned the past, and the monster information showed that it was on the retina:

Skull-Crushing Ogre Sergeant (Exemplary)

Level: 20

Health: 400/400

Attributes: Strength 30, Agility 13, Constitution 20, Intelligence 10, Perception 12, Charisma 6

Characteristic: Dark Vision (60 feet)

Specialty: Specialized in Xenomorph Weapons (Epee), Proficient in Heavy Attack (Epee), Specialized Weapons (Epee), Proficient in Shield Strike, Mounted Combat

Special Attack: Unknown

……”

The level 20 exemplary monster gave Charles the pressure to face like a dragon.

Looking at the 30 strength points on the Skull-Crushing Ogre Sergeant's profile, Charles felt a sense of weakness in his heart. Looking at the ogre sergeant's appearance of being protected by the thorny black armor, he understood why there were more than a hundred caravan guards. It will also be completely suppressed by more than 30 ogres.

There are 4 such skull-crushing ogre non-commissioned officers, and there are at least 10 skull-crushing ogre soldiers with elite templates in the team, so you can imagine how terrifying the comprehensive military strength of this group of skull-crushing ogres is!

"It shouldn't be!" Charles sat on the wolf's back, puzzled.

With the armament of this skull-crushing ogre, it is completely possible to try to attack human villages and towns, and the gain is no less than attacking caravans.

"It's supposed to be a sudden mission triggered by the plot. There's something to dig into! Leng Yue sharpened his knife on the wolf's back, his eyes flashed with eagerness, and he said with a little excitement: "Look at the minimap, we are already in the red circle of the mission, it is a purple regional mission, if we successfully expel this group of ogres, there will definitely be many rewards!" ”

"Nonsense!" Charles rolled his eyes.

With four exemplary monsters plus more than a dozen elite monsters, and then an ogre lieutenant who was silent in front of the elephant herd, Charles couldn't help but feel distressed for the more than 100 caravan guards when he saw the battle.

He found that the proportion of humans and elves and half-elves in this group of guards was almost half, and only one or two percent of the people were half-orcs and dwarves.

This proportion is very abnormal, and if you look at the merchants in the caravan, this is also the case. Charles seemed to realize why the caravan was able to enter and leave the Secret Lake Valley. It turned out that there were a lot of their own people.

The elven tribes, centaur tribes, and other elven tribes in the Secret Lake Valley have a demand for handicrafts and some manufactured goods from the outside world unless they want to live a very primitive life.

"Your level is too low, you will remember the guerrilla tactics later, don't fight with the skull-crushing ogre, even if you are hit by an ordinary skull-crushing ogre with a mace, you may be killed in seconds."

Charles and Leng Yue turned over and jumped off the wolf's back, and before intervening in the battle, he specially told Leng Yuedao.

"I know ......"

Leng Yue dropped a word, and drew his sword and rushed down the slope.

"Leave him alone, take care of yourself first." The cat on his shoulder cast a sneering gaze, and said in a clear voice: "There are my clansmen below, I will not lift the transformation to help you, so you can do the battle yourself." ”

"Hmm." Charles nodded.

Of course, he knew that he couldn't fight the skull-crushing ogre, but using the flying technique to drop a range scroll at a high altitude would not have a great killing effect, because even ordinary skull-crushing ogres were wearing barbed half-body armor, and unless the spell level was very high, it would not be able to achieve the effect of group seconds.

It's a trade-off between input and benefit. At present, Charles is not sure what he can gain from this sudden mission, and throwing scrolls to Secret Lake Valley without the props of the bottom box may delay his advancement.

Therefore, Charles thought about it and decided to take the risk of hand-to-hand combat, with a wolf Zeke by his side, the probability of his death on the battlefield was very low. (To be continued.) )
