Chapter 322: The Dark Elves' Way of Thinking

There is no doubt that the "skirmish" between the gray dwarf caravan and the Kou Tao fishmen is obviously not the key to attracting the attention of the dark elf scouts.

Because of this kind of roadblock robbery or black eating black, it is so common in the intricate tunnels of the dark area that it is not a big deal at all.

In particular, as the leader of the squad, Venar once attacked and plundered no less than six caravans on the road to the surface, and relied on the precious survival materials seized from the other party to successfully reach Luskan, the city of a thousand sails.

What's more, the gray dwarves themselves are not a good thing.

Don't look at them always behaving in front of the dark elves, and even occasionally they are bullied, blackmailed, and blackmailed, but they are out-and-out bullies in front of other races.

Some large enough caravans of gray dwarves don't mind sacking small settlements and turning captured underground gnomes, goblins, and orcs into slavery to be sold in the next city.

So even though the situation of the Grey Dwarf caravan looked very bad, Zuo Si and Trist always watched from the sidelines and did not have the slightest intention of interfering.

In addition to these two groups of people, in the darkness where they could not see their fingers, there was a group of monsters that looked like a mixture of a hulking beetle and an ape.

These creatures have a scientific name called "Dirt Trolls", and they are one of the most dangerous monsters in the entire Dark Regions.

Its hard shell is as protective as the strongest plate armor, and its barbed-like claws can tear a person in half alive in half.

And the reason why they were not dominated by their instinctive desire to eat, and rushed directly to kill, was because behind the earth trolls, they were followed by seven or eight Mind Flayer demons wielding tentacles like octopuses.

Obviously, this is a good show of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.

When the Kou Tao Fish Man and the Gray Dwarf began to suffer a large number of casualties among each other, the Mind Flayer controlled the earth trolls to swarm up, and without saying a word, he first threw a bunch of psychic blasts towards the most densely populated area.

As a result, the unsuspecting Kou Tao Fishmen were the first to be attacked, and they were shocked by this kind of psychic attack and couldn't move in place.

In contrast, the Grey Dwarves are only hit by a certain amount of psychic resistance due to their innate level of psychic resistance.

The rest hurriedly launched their innate ability [Great Transformation Technique], which made their size increase rapidly, and at the same time, their strength attributes were also strengthened to a certain extent, and they took the initiative to charge like little giants.

Because they all know very well that if they don't strike first when facing the Mind Flayer, it won't be long before they will be controlled and captured by powerful psychic abilities, and eventually become slaves and puppets controlled by the other party.

Some gray dwarves have launched another natural ability, [Invisibility Technique], to disappear from the opponent's line of sight first, and then find an opportunity to use the strong crossbow in their hands to release cold arrows to sneak attack.

Even the miserly caravan owner didn't care about saving at this moment, so he immediately took out a magic scroll from his pocket that exuded a strong elemental aura, and chose to activate it without hesitation.

I saw a dazzling earthy yellow light flash!

A gigantic stone elemental giant immediately rose from the ground, swinging its sandbag-sized fist and slamming the earth troll that had rushed forward to the ground.

In terms of size and strength, this is at least a giant earth element that can only be summoned by the magic of the sixth or even seventh rings.

With the addition of the giant earth element, the gray dwarf caravan, which was originally at an absolute disadvantage, immediately began to fight back frantically like chicken blood.

The guys who had used the invisibility technique to hide before also came out of the dark corners now, aiming at the Mind Flayer and shooting crossbow arrows smeared with poison.

Two Mind Flayers who didn't have a protective spell for themselves were instantly pierced through their bodies and heads by sharp crossbows, screaming and falling to the ground and pumping violently, before swallowing their last breath.

But the Mind Flayer was obviously not a vegetarian either, and immediately began to activate his innate psychic abilities, either trying to invade and charm the Grey Dwarven warriors, or controlling the intimidated Koutao Fishmen and allowing them to join the battle as cannon fodder.

Blood splattered all of a sudden, and the original confrontation between the two sides turned into a three-way scuffle, and the scene was simply chaotic.

"What are we going to do now?"

Venal, the female leader of the Dark Elf Squad, asked Zuosi in sign language.

"I think we should help the gray dwarves. At least these guys can still talk and communicate, but those terrible Mind Flayers are clearly only interested in capturing slaves and eating brains. ”

Trist also hurriedly expressed his opinion in sign language.

In his opinion, gray dwarves are not a good thing like the dark elves, but they can at least be classified as intelligent beings.

As for the Mind Flayer, although he also has a very high level of intelligence, he has always been classified as a monster like the Eye Demon.

"Help the gray dwarves? No kidding! There were at least eight earth trolls over there, almost ten Mind Flayers. If we really do make a move, even if we succeed in the sneak attack, we will have to pay the price of three or four people's lives. Venal unceremoniously rejected the Ranger's offer.

"What do dark elves usually do when they encounter such a situation?" Zuo Si asked with interest in sign language.

Venar replied without thinking, "If it is according to the way of thinking of the dark elves, we should sit here and wait patiently for them to defeat both sides, and then take a shot to wipe them out." Kill all the Mind Flayers, then turn the remaining Grey Dwarf captives into slaves and take everything from the entire caravan. ”

Zuo Si touched his chin and thought about it for a few minutes, and then quickly responded in sign language: "Since I am now playing a group of dark elf mercenaries, let's follow the way the dark elves act." Let your people prepare and see my instructions later. ”

"As you wish, my master."

The corners of Venal's mouth rose slightly, revealing a very evil and cruel smile, obviously very satisfied with Zuo Si's judgment and choice.

Because she knows very well that in the cruel and dark region, only by completely abandoning unnecessary compassion and morality can she survive better.

What's more, this female Drow has already received a promise from Zuo Si that as long as she completes this journey safely, she will be able to break away from the control of the City Council and become a subordinate intelligence agency under the name of the Mage Tower when she returns to Luskan.

Not only do you have more privileges, but you can also recruit troops in the shadows, and make the most of your and your men's skills in stealth, tracking, and assassination.

Therefore, more than anyone else, Venal wants to reduce and avoid danger as much as possible, and to deal with all kinds of troubles in the safest way.

Soon, under her command, more than a dozen Dark Elf warriors and assassins quickly assembled and began to quench the weapons in their hands.

The skillful movements of these people, as well as the eerie glow of the weapon after quenching the poison, made Trist, as a ranger, frown.

However, he was not a holy warrior after all, and he did not stop this kind of behavior, which was absolutely despicable and shameless in the eyes of the holy warriors.

When almost half of the gray dwarf warriors on the battlefield were killed or wounded, and the entire front was about to collapse, Zuo Si, who had watched the show for a long time, finally gave all the dark elves a gesture to prepare to attack.

Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone around him, he completed a large number of blessings of enhanced magic and magic at an extremely fast speed.

[Blessing Technique]!

【Tenacity of the Bears】!

【The Power of the Herd Cow】!

【Elegance of group cats】!

[Anti-Evil Circle]!

[Group Advanced Magic Weapon]!

[Group Advanced Demonic Armor]!

[Crowd Mage Armor]!

【Group Stone Skin】!

[Crowd Acceleration Technique]!

……

In just a few seconds, the dark elves present realized that they were being strengthened by all kinds of powerful magical powers.

Some of the divine arts were so high that even the family mothers and high-ranking priestesses they had been loyal to couldn't use them, so they all showed shocked and incredulous expressions.

After all, all magic with the prefix "group" is basically not lower than the six rings.

Because above the six rings, whether it is magic or divine magic, spell slots are often very tight and scarce.

Most high-level mages and priests choose to memorize more powerful spells than a bunch of crowd-enhancing spells that they don't know if they'll come in handy.

What's more, in the eyes of the caster, the profession of a warrior is basically equated with "cannon fodder".

Except for a very small number of high-level warriors, ordinary warriors are not eligible to enjoy the blessings of divine arts at all.

But it's good to think about it, a pre-battle spell casts that arm everyone from head to toe, and at the same time, it also shows his powerful arcane and divine spell casting abilities to the fullest.

"Attack!"

Feeling his body become incomparably stronger under the influence of magical power, Venar gave instructions to all his subordinates in sign language without saying a word.

The Dark Elf warriors and assassins quickly exploited their racial strengths, spreading apart with great speed and using their powerful stealth skills to silently approach their chosen targets.

When they reach their designated position, they immediately unleash their own spell-like ability, Demon Fire, marking enemies with purple flames that have no damage ability.

This was followed by another racial spell ability, the Dark Spell, which completely shrouded the enemy in darkness where he could not see his fingers.

In this way, these natural assassins and killers can not only easily hide their whereabouts, but also use the light generated by the demon fire to locate the enemy's position.

As a result, in the first round of deadly sneak attacks, four Mind Flayers' hearts and heads were pierced, and they died on the spot before they could even scream.

As for the rest of the Mind Flayer, they sensed the minds of the dark elves in advance with their psychic abilities, successfully avoided these deadly poison weapons, and in turn wanted to use their tentacles to pry open the skulls of the sneak attackers and taste those delicious brains.

But unfortunately, with the blessing of mage armor, stone skin and other protective magic, they could not even pierce the outermost layer of stone skin, and they were kicked open by the dark elves whose strength and agility attributes were greatly enhanced, or the tentacles were torn off.

As for the legendary ranger Trist, he had already rushed into the middle of the earth trolls at the first time, wielding two magic scimitars, and turned on the rage mode as if death had descended.

Since he had lived in the dark region as a barbarian for a period of time when he escaped from Mosoblai City in his early years, he had mastered the special ability to let himself enter the berserk on his own initiative.

Although his base strength attribute is only thirteen points, it reaches seventeen points with the addition of four points of rage, and with the four points of ox power, it reaches an astonishing twenty-one.

You must know that this level of strength has surpassed that of ogres and reached the level of hill giants.

The strength of an adult earth troll is only twenty points.

Therefore, Trist was surprised to find that for the first time, he actually had the upper hand in the confrontation of the strength attribute, and he did not need to carry out any defense and dodge at all, and he could repel the behemoth with a height of more than two meters and five in front of him with the strength of one arm.

No!

More than just knock back!

With the enchantment level of the two magic scimitars and the blessing of high-level demonic weapons, he could directly tear the hard shell of the opponent's body.

As a result, his dance of death, which was originally full of dexterity and grace, unwittingly evolved into a ferocious meat grinder.

In just a dozen seconds, three earth trolls fell in a pool of blood, not only their limbs were brutally dismembered, but the carapace in front of their chest cavity was also cut into a lake of flesh, and blood and minced flesh kept spurting out from the wounds.

Strength!

Great power!

Unbeatable power!

Strengthened by so much magic and magic for the first time, Trist felt like a never-tiring, all-powerful god of war.

It was only then that he truly realized how reckless and ignorant he and his friends had been to travel and venture around without any spellcaster in the party.

If there was a caster like Zuo Si who knew how to work with a warrior, the results would be disastrous.

Of course, Trist is clearly enjoying the feeling of being greatly enhanced.

The effect of the Acceleration, in particular, allowed him to swing his scimitar faster and faster, slicing through the cracks in the hard shell of the Earth Troll at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

A Mind Flayer apparently noticed the Dark Elf Ranger's invincibility and immediately unleashed a powerful psychic ability in an attempt to invade his spiritual world.

But before Trist could feel his spirits in a trance, he saw Zuo Si, who was standing on the huge stalactites behind him, raise his hand and shoot out a small red fireball.

Next Second......

Rumble!!!!!!!!

A blinding white flame rose into the sky.

The Mind Flayer didn't even have time to react, and his entire body was instantly evaporated by the terrifying heat.

What made the surrounding dark elves feel even more incredulous was that this powerful fireball had not been accidentally injured.

The terrifying heat flames and heat waves were like eyes, precisely avoiding everyone in their area of influence.

There is no doubt that this is a fireball technique that uses the super-magical technique "Spell Strength" and "Spell Extreme", and also uses the Archmage class's advanced arcane ability, Shaping Control, to change and control the area of influence.

The difficulty of its operation is so high that it has already surpassed the level of the three-ring magic.

Not to mention an ordinary Mind Slayer, even the Heart Slayer Giant Worm will be seriously injured if it takes a shot.

Smelling the pungent smell of scorched lakes in the air, Trist shook off the blood stains on the scimitar, and couldn't help but whisper: "Damn! I'm starting to feel a little sympathetic to these octopus heads, because they've encountered a real monster. ”

"Hey, hey! I really like the feeling now. With the powerful magical power possessed by the master, even if he enters the city of Mosoblai, he can easily move between the major families. Because no mistress would easily give up and woo such a person into her family. Venal licked her lips and said in a tone full of excitement and anticipation.

"Yes! I could already foresee that entering the city of Mothob would inevitably cause a bloody storm. ”

With that, Trist couldn't help but sigh slightly, and casually cut off the head of the last earth troll.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly.

When the last Mind Flayer was pierced through the heart by the dark elf at this moment, the drama of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches finally came to an end.

The Mind Flayer and the Earth Trolls they brought with them were all killed.

Although two of the Mind Flayers said they wanted to surrender, Zuo Si clearly didn't want any captives, especially the Mind Flayer with the ability to spy on memories and minds, so he ordered the Dark Elf warriors to cut off their heads.

As for the Kou Tao Fishmen, most of them died as cannon fodder under the control of the Mind Flayer, and the rest also jumped into the underground rivers and pools after regaining consciousness.

Seeing that all the enemies were killed by the dark elves that suddenly appeared, the gray dwarf caravan guards, who were more than half killed and wounded, did not even resist, and directly chose to lay down their weapons and surrender.

They weren't stupid, they understood how powerful the dark elf team in front of them was, and with their own manpower, they were afraid that they would all die in one face.

It is better to be a slave than a dead man, and the gray dwarves have always been very knowledgeable about the times in this regard.

In the beginning, the caravan owner also wanted to pay money to redeem the carts and the goods on them, especially his personal freedom.

But after being slapped with a big mouth and stripped of all the valuable and magical items on his body, he silently accepted the cruel reality that he was already a slave......
