Chapter 41: The Incredible Spoils of War
The two most important heroes died in battle, and Chu Zaizhong directly lost his fighting spirit.
He didn't say anything, just silently transferred troops to the rear of the palace and led the remaining main forces to retreat.
He didn't even say anything ruthless, just glanced at Li Qing deeply, turned around and left.
Succeed in the king's defeat, everyone depends on their own ability.
I wanted to pit Li Qing first, but I failed, this is because my skills are not as good as others, and I have nothing to say.
It can only be said that a part of the living force will be saved and withdrawn first, and then the troops will be retrained and recruited for a period of time in a low-key manner, and this revenge will be brought back next time.
Li Qing didn't chase down, there was no other reason, the main reason was that the scene was too chaotic, there were still more than 400 jackals and kobolds here, how could there be a chance to continue the pursuit.
Standing on the city wall, he watched the gnoll command the kobold to surround and kill more than fifty soldiers after the severe.
During this period, Li Qing was not idle, and Long Punctual spewed out rays from time to time, sniping the gnolls and undead warriors with Xie Zhu.
This thing is very threatening, and it needs to be cleaned up in advance.
The power of his ray breath was not much different from the fiery ray first blow of the mage hero just now, and it could melt half of the undead warrior's head in one bite.
Every time he melted a large number of muscles in the undead warrior's face with a breath of dragon breath, revealing charred bones, Xie Zhu's steel armor-piercing arrow could come as promised, piercing through his head.
Although there is no point in the undead like this, the control center is indeed in the head.
Once the head is forcibly destroyed, although he will not die for a while, he can no longer control himself, and he falls to the ground and struggles unconsciously.
Three minutes later, the remaining three Gnoll Undead Warriors had been sniped, and Li Qing immediately recalled Long Shou.
Six minutes later, Chu Zaizhong's last soldier behind the palace was killed.
The remaining gnolls also let out a cry of excitement, and under the leadership of the gnoll hero Larsen, they rushed to the city wall with high morale.
"And a hundred and twenty-three gnolls, kobolds in their early two hundreds, and a gnoll hero!"
"No, he's not in the right state?"
Li Qing looked at Larson, the gnoll hero whose body was almost burning with demonic patterns, and even his pupils were covered with crimson killing intent, and he felt that he seemed to be a little abnormal.
I don't know if it's because of too much killing, or if it's the influence of the magic patterns on his body, he seems to be a little unable to control his fanaticism now.
Under normal circumstances, seeing his high walls, without any siege tools, it is impossible for any leader to be so reckless.
However, whether it was affected by the magic patterns on his body or not, this was a good thing for Li Qing.
If you don't have siege weapons and want to attack the city, it's not death.
Larsen, who was covered in blood and flames, was even faster than before at this time, and when he was about five meters away from the city gate, he jumped violently, and slashed at Li Qing on the top of the city gate with a span of nearly ten meters.
"Does this magic pattern give him a bonus to his strength?"
Li Qing took a step back, and the dragon guard stood in front of him and swung his sword back.
"Bell!"
A long trills exploded, and the dragon staggered back several steps, and Larsson was bounced back under the walls because he had nowhere to be forced.
Li Qing leaned out from behind the guards and looked at the huge gap in the blades of the two hands in Long Shou's hands in surprise, with a look of horror on his face.
"The strength has improved so much?"
He remembered very well that Larsen's previous jump slash could only jump about six or seven meters, and now he jumped from five meters away from the city wall, and he still had the strength to fight with Long Shou when he jumped to the six-meter-high city wall, which showed that his current jump distance was at least twice as long as before.
It is unbelievable that the strength of kung fu has increased so much in a moment.
He was almost certain that Larsen's skyrocketing strength was due to the demonic pattern on his body.
At this moment, an incredible thought had risen in his heart.
The magic pattern on Larsen's body, it shouldn't be the legendary magic pattern construction, right?
Thinking of this, Li Qing's heart suddenly became irrepressibly excited.
It stands to reason that this is almost impossible, how could such a small tribe have such a thing as a magic pattern.
But
It would be different if the Gnoll tribe was part of a large plane before it was broken, and if the tribe was a large Gnoll tribe in ancient times.
Magic pattern construction, even the worst parts can increase by more than 20%.
And the magic pattern structure on Larsen's body in front of him looks like it should belong to a set, and the combined bonus will be very high.
Of course, from now on, this set of magic pattern constructs should be incomplete, or damaged.
Normal Magical Pattern Construct only increases the strength of the Construct loader, and does not affect the user's mind in any way.
But for better or worse, as long as it's a magic pattern build, it's priceless.
"Gotta take it!"
"No matter what the cost!"
Li Qing made up his mind in his heart.
The gnoll leader was knocked down the city wall by the dragon guard, and he would not be able to continue to use the hero skill to jump and slash for a while, so he could only rush to the city wall and swing his sword to chop the wooden city wood, and a large number of kobold jackals also rushed up and slashed with their knives, or the kobold throwers kept throwing stones, and the various 'bang' chopping sounds below were endless.
But a city wall is a city wall, and it's all made of reconstituted thickened planks, and it's a dream to split it a few times.
Taking advantage of this gap, the dragon guard lay down on the city wall and charged his strength, and a cone-shaped dragon breath sprayed down, and a large stream of flames fell and spread along the left and right of the city wall, and the kobolds crowded together were burned and screamed.
At least seventy or eighty kobolds and a dozen gnolls crowded in front of the city gate were submerged and burned to death on the spot.
Li Qing saw this scene and sighed with emotion:
"Sure enough, the mage is the king!"
Powerful mages are truly god-like beings on the battlefield.
The only pity is that there are too few powerful mages.
This profession is strong, but it is too difficult to be promoted, and accumulating mana is pure water grinding kung fu, and it is basically impossible to grow quickly.
Mana is only one part of a powerful mage, and it takes years to learn and master a huge amount of mage knowledge and expertise.
In addition, many majors of mages are super expensive professions.
So the cost of cultivating a mage is really, really large, but it must be cultivated.
Long Shou burned nearly half of the kobolds and gnolls in a few mouthfuls of dragon breath in a row, and it was only then that the frenzy of these gnolls was extinguished, and even the leader of the gnolls, Larsen, was a little sober.
But under the influence of the magic pattern structure, he couldn't fully wake up for a while, and he was still frantically slashing at the city gate in front of him.
The ten-centimeter-thick solid wood gate was cut out of a gap, and the city gate hole and the defenders outside the gate could already be seen.
But it was only a gap, and it was not long before a hole was cut for Larsson to enter.
The remaining gnolls and kobolds are no longer able to support him to expand the victory.
Long Shou's breath has the same restrictions on the use of the hero skills of the mage heroes under Chu Zaizhong's command, but he has flesh essence and pure soul essence to restore physical strength and energy expended, while mage heroes do not.
So he can continue to spit after five puffs in a row.
After spraying a full ten cone-shaped dragon breaths, Long Shou swallowed a flesh essence again, and jumped directly from the six-meter-high city wall with his sword.
Li Qing also ordered loudly:
"Open the gates and counterattack!"
Ten dragons have already killed the jackals and kobolds, and there are no more defenders left, what else is there to guard.
The infantry, who had been waiting for their work on the city walls, rushed out of the gates, and the remaining fifty or sixty gnolls and kobolds outside the city were wounded, and the infantry were in two rows under the command of Anerqiu, and the front was piled up.
The Gnoll Hero, on the other hand, is in the midst of a fierce battle with the Dragon.
At this time, Larsen's body was full of charred black burn marks, and five arrows were inserted on his back, three ordinary arrows, and two stainless steel armor-piercing arrows from Xie Zhu, which were directly inserted into the depths of his body.
But at this time, Larsen was affected by the magic pattern construction, and his pain sense was greatly weakened, and he seemed to have no weakness, and he could still suppress the dragon with five arrows on his back.
Yes, even if he is so seriously injured, Larsen's strength is still much higher than that of Long Shou at this time, and his speed is getting faster and faster, as if he is tireless and crazy to tear and kill, even Long Shou can't stand it.
But high to high, the strength of the dragon guard is there, and it is impossible to kill him for a while.
And at this moment, Larsen no longer had time to kill the dragon guard.
In less than two minutes, the remnants of the gnolls and kobolds had been swept away by An Erqiu's infantry and archers, and then all the troops turned around and surrounded the two sides fighting at the city gate.
But it was only surrounded from a distance, separated by more than ten meters, and there was no attack.
Li Qing stood above the city gate tower, his hands spread out a whirlpool and quickly expanded, shouting below:
"Spread out!"
Ryumori, who was engaged in the battle with Larsen, immediately rolled backwards and dodged, and then a stone ball with a diameter of more than two meters and full of spikes fell from the sky and smashed the unprepared gnoll leader.
More than ten tons of weight fell from the top of two floors, and Larsen was crushed to the bottom of the stone without resistance.
But I could still hear the tearing roar from below, the outstretched hands and feet were still struggling, and the stone ball was shaken by the huge force.
Long Shou's first reaction stepped forward, raised his sword with both hands, and slashed it hard.
One leg was cut off.
Then the second sword slashed off the second leg.
"The big picture is decided!"
Li Qingchang let out a long breath, and a smile bloomed on his face.
This victory was really not easy, if it weren't for Kaihang, he wouldn't have been able to capture this gnoll tribe on his own.
When the dragon guard cut off Larsen's other two hands, Li Qingcai opened the city gate and walked out, taking away the stones, revealing Larsson who was still struggling.
At this time, Larsen's limbs were cut off, but there was not much blood on his hands and feet, and even the blood he shed was not fresh in color, and it was extremely viscous, which looked extremely strange.
However, Li Qing was not interested in learning about this, and just motioned for Long Shou to step forward and mend the knife.
After so many battles, the level of the dragon guard has been upgraded to level 24, and there is only less than 10% of the experience left from level 25, and then killing this third-order hero is considered a leapfrog challenge, and it is no problem to upgrade to level 26.
The Gnoll tribe still has some defenders, so let him kill more when the time comes, and it won't be a problem to upgrade to level 27 after the battle.
This is only one step away from being promoted to a third-order hero.
When a four-star hero is promoted to the third rank, his strength will be greatly improved.
Long Shou lifted his two-handed greatsword full of gaps and curled blades and slashed it hard, and the head of Larsen, who was still struggling and roaring, parted, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Then, Li Qing saw that a faint clear light suddenly appeared on his corpse and severed hand and arm, and quickly converged towards his head, slowly condensing into a ball of light.
Li Qing's face was first surprised, and then surprised.
"It's."
"The loot is out!"
An Erqiu said excitedly:
"Boss, this gnoll tribe is very unusual, it was definitely a large gnoll tribe before."
"It should be!"
Li Qing stretched out his hand to hold the ball of light, and Qingguang quickly restrained, slowly forming a card that emitted a faint blood light.
Everyone's eyes moved to the card with his movements, An Erqiu rubbed his hands excitedly and asked:
"Boss, what good things has this guy condensed?"
Li Qing's eyes fell on the card that had just been condensed in his palm, his pupils shrank in the next second, and then he put the card away with a hand, turned around and said to everyone:
"It's a good thing, but it's not convenient to say."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and An Erqiu shrugged:
"Okay!"
Li Qing looked at the three brothers Xie Zhu and said:
"I'm sorry, it's inconvenient to spread this, and when this operation is over, I'll send you a gift."
Xie Zhu smiled and said:
"Then you're welcome."
Although he was very curious, Xie Zhu did not ask.
After dealing with these, Li Qing shouted loudly to his subordinates:
"We have defeated the enemy, but there is still an enemy not far away, everyone rest and attack in a quarter of an hour."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the camp, and An Erqiu immediately followed, shouting loudly to the camp:
"Some people will clean up the battlefield and bring in all the corpses."
Li Qing heard a movement in his heart and nodded.
It's nice to have eyesight.
Back in his tent, Li Qing stretched out his hand and flipped through it, and the card with a faint blood light appeared in his palm, his eyes fell on the card, and its attributes immediately appeared in front of him.

Looking at the reddish card, Li Qing couldn't help but reach out and stroke it, his eyes full of amazement.
"I didn't expect to be able to condense such a good thing!"
