Chapter 279: Rescue
When Egger's team came to the outside of the village, they found that the gnolls inside had already moved, and even blocked the way with tables or other miscellaneous objects, seeing that this posture was ready to be held for the time being. The tents and sundries in the village are easy to block the formation, which is very unfavorable for the small but elite Egger team, and if you must rush, it is likely to cause a single person.
However, this is not a problem for mages at all.
Don't come out?
It's okay, it's out as soon as you bake it!
"Firestorm!"
Directly drop a range of magic in the most dense place of the gnolls, this so-called village becomes a sea of fire, and the vast majority of ordinary gnolls can't withstand the high temperature of this kind of Cheng dΓΉ at all, and they are quickly burned to death. Even those slightly trained strong female gnolls could not withstand the onslaught of three waves of flames in quick succession...... Where the flames reach, it is hell.
Deliberately staggering the area of the flames just now, Egg's "blizzard" covered another area, and the situation was the same as before, only a small number of the remaining gnolls warriors survived, and the rest were pierced to death by sharp ice prisms......
No matter how hard the gnolls tried, no matter how many traps and obstacles they created, it was useless, and the Egger team didn't even enter the village, and the gnolls had already escaped from the protected area of the village with a cry...... It has been ravaged by ice and fire, and ordinary people cannot survive in this environment, and the weak can only escape from this purgatory.
These so-called "survivors" were greeted by well-armed members of Egger's team.
The dozen or so gnolla warriors who had already been crippled by the mage's group spell were attacked by Claire and her men as soon as possible. It's hard for these bloody guys to last long in their hands, especially with Osha, Ellie, and the Undertaker's long-range strike group behind them...... It was a one-sided massacre, not only against soldiers, but also against ordinary civilians.
Extermination! No doubt about the extermination! Exterminate the race without mercy!
This feeling is not wonderful, after all, there are no such murderous madmen as those present. But they had to keep killing, as for the reason...... Fighting between races, without a reason. If you have to give one, the weeds will not burn inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze will blow and grow again.
Wait until the team leaves. This has become another Shura field of bloody slaughter. Perhaps, these corpses will soon be taken away by wild beasts that have emerged out of nowhere, and perhaps, in the coming year, this will become the most fertile fertile field......
A lot of low-level equipment was scavenged from the gnolls village. Goods. Grain. But there's nothing particularly worth mentioning, at most, it's just a bunch of items in the Hearthstone Tavern. It was Egger himself who caught two low-level cards.
One-star basic neutral retinue of the Witch Doctor. The 2-1 stature can restore 2-star health to an allied unit, which he has had before, so I won't introduce it much.
The other is a new NAXX card, Niruba Spider Web Lord, a two-star white neutral follower, a 1-4 stature, relatively high health, the original effect is: all followers with warcry ability, summon cost increased by 2 points. There has been a major adjustment to the physical card, and the effect has been changed to doubled the cost of any enemy minion. This includes at least highlights, mana cost, and summon time cost. For example, if the opponent has a warlock, the consumption will be doubled when summoning demons, and it will only be effective against the enemy, which is a favorable battle cry.
After returning to Lakeside Town, Iger went to the Lord's Mansion alone to hand over the mission, and Lord Hoffman was naturally full of praise for the merits of the Warcraft Mercenary Regiment, and at the same time received the reward he promised.
2 gold coins, a blue necklace, and a "little gadget......
The Wise Necklace, blue quality, can increase 6 points of intelligence, 4 points of body lì and 6 points of spirit, this Ellijie and Osa can be used, but the priest is obviously more applicable, and Xiaojie's equipment has not been updated recently, this time it is a small compensation.
As for Hoffman's "little gadget", it is actually a heavy leather armor piece, which can be firmly attached to a certain piece of armor by simply processing, playing the role of lining reinforcement, and the actual effect is to add an additional 10 points of armor to this protective gear, a special product of the leather making profession, because it is a heavy leather, which shows that the professional level of the maker is at least above the advanced level, and it is a rare "gadget", and the lord gave 4 pieces this time in order to praise the merits of the Warcraft mercenary group...... According to himself, this thing is no longer in stock.
The cloth profession does not need to carry monsters, and these dozens of armor points may not be able to save lives, only the melee profession is more applicable, and it is undoubtedly directly assigned to Claire. However, when she took it, she put it directly into the space, and Egg hurriedly stopped: "Why don't you use these heavy leather armor pieces?" β
Claire had a difficult face: "This thing is very rare, and it is a consumable, it is very wasteful to use it directly, I want to use it after I get more powerful equipment." β
Iger laughed, "I knew you would think so." In fact, this consumable should be used as soon as possible. Do you think, if you wait until you get more powerful equipment, will these dozens of armor points really be useful? It's just a fraction. On the contrary, the worse the equipment, the most obvious the effect improvement, and the more dragged to the back, the less valuable it is. Listen to me, just use it. β
The female warrior thought about it, and this is also the reason, it is really dispensable in the back, since Brother Ai said so, it naturally makes sense, and she will use these heavy leather armor pieces happily, of course, green equipment should not be used, at least it should be used on blue equipment.
Blue chain mail, Diafi leather leggings, steel combat boots, knight helmet, these are all blue equipment, at least for a period of time will not be replaced, all attached to heavy leather armor pieces, each piece of armor increases by 10 points, this set can allow her to add an additional 40 points of armor, although it is not too much, but the defensive warrior depends on this to eat, ordinary attacks are more difficult to cause enough damage to her, and the pressure on treatment is also reduced in disguise.
There will probably not be much left of the mission of Chiji Mountain, and even if there is, it will be difficult to have any oil and water. Blackstone orcs? Egger didn't think that his mercenary group could take advantage of this group of orcs, this group of cunning and murderous guys couldn't even take an official organization like Lakeside Town, they only had a few people, and it was a bit thankless. He thought about it for a while, and felt that he should lead the team away, and the next target was preliminarily set in Yeshi Town, at least there were still night-colored insects over there......
However, just as he was discussing with everyone, an uninvited guest came from outside the villa, and the hurried knock on the door indicated that the other party was in a hurry, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Lord Hoffman who had arrived, and he only brought a butler with him.
Now that everyone was outside, Egger politely welcomed them in. The lord of Lakeside Town was not too polite, and said straight to the point: "Dear Excellency Egg, this time, I need the help of your mercenary group. β
Iger was stunned and said, "Lord Lord, please speak clearly. β
"Here's the thing, we've been fighting hard to resist the Blackstone Orcs here, and last week one of my guards managed to infiltrate the Blackstone Orc's stronghold in the north, and in one fell swoop, they destroyed the Orc's important facilities there, burning a lot of food. But because it was too late to retreat, the fighters were unable to escape back. I thought they were hopeless, but yesterday someone visited me overnight and gave me important news. β
"I also had a squad leader who survived, who was tortured after being captured, but never revealed important military information, and who was tested and worthy of the name of a warrior. Yesterday's pro was a thief, and she brought this information back, claiming that the captain had mastered the specific distribution of the Blackstone Orcs, and if he could be rescued by Shun LΓ¬, Lakeside Town would usher in a turning point in an all-out counteroffensive. β
"I've considered a lot of candidates, but I believe that only a strong team like you Warcraft Mercenary Group can bring me the news of victory in such a small-scale operation."
Unaffected by the lord's slightly agitating words, Iger calmly asked, "Have you ever thought about the difficulty of rescuing a warrior in the midst of an unknown group of Blackstone orcs?" If we are not careful, we may well be besieged to death. β
"Of course, this task must be difficult and arduous, otherwise I would not have come directly to you. How about 10 gold coins, an epic shield, and then use my personal authority to raise the level of your mercenary group to C-level? β
"Hehe, the reward is very exciting, but we have to take it? I think it's too dangerous. "Iger is still very cautious, he has always liked to fight uncertain battles, this task came too suddenly.
"Your Excellency, listen to me. I'll arrange for a sizable guard to launch a feint attack when you infiltrate the orc camp to attract the attention of these guys and make it easier for you to save people. Of course, there must be people left behind in the orc camp, and these people will need to be dealt with by yourself. Also, to make it easier for you to infiltrate, I've also asked the Stalker who brought me the news earlier, and she and her companions will lead the way and assist you in the battle. β
"The real goal of your mission is to sneak in under the guidance of the guide, find my men accurately, and then rescue my men when the Lakeside Town Guards launch a feint to attract firepower, and then kill them from the other direction, as long as you leave the camp of the Blackstone Orcs, this mission is over, and my guards will take over later."
"As a sign of my sincerity, I have brought this epic shield with me, and you can use this equipment as a reward for the mission that has been advanced to you in advance. You know, there's no way I'm going to hand over a mortal mission to you, and that's tantamount to fooling me with an epic piece of equipment. β
Hoffman took out a heavy shield and handed it over with a stern expression. (To be continued......)
