044. Think Carefully
"I'm now at level six, and I'm sure I'll be able to work for you!" Kata looked at Levi with sincerity in his eyes.
Levi was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Kata to be so bold to risk his life to gamble and ask him for a chance.
"Okay, then I'll get you food now. ”
Naturally, the food he was talking about was not taken from his own plane, but he called Egg, asked for a dozen bags from his plane and handed them to Kata.
Egger was very generous, and wanted to give more, but unfortunately the gnolls couldn't take it anymore.
With the ready-made food, Kata selected fifteen gnolls warriors to take the old and young with them and followed the path that Levi showed them to the lighthouse camp, while the gnolls who followed Kata to fight with him divided the dried meat and dry food from before.
After all these things were arranged, Levi's team continued to set off towards the mission location.
With nearly sixty gnolls joining, the team grew even larger, making its way through the woods.
Verin patrolled the neighborhood with two dark elves, reporting every now and then, and there was no movement around them.
"This guy is really able to hold his breath. ”
Dai Erman smiled and said, "Will you be scared away by us?"
"If it really scared away, the road wouldn't be so clean. ”
The way to the pit was relatively close to the camp before, but from time to time they would still see a living skeleton or something, but now that they had gone deep into the Norsen plane, the forest was quiet, which was obviously abnormal.
"It must be watching us secretly somewhere. ”
The ghosts of the undead are able to transform into a special form, which the undead lords call the Shadow Minions. They don't have any combat power, but they are very good at concealment, and many undead lords use them to scout their enemies.
Levi believed that the undead lord was also staying somewhere, watching them with shadow minions, plotting something.
"Looks like there's an ambush for us somewhere......"
Levi smiled, they are now in the open place, the more cautious the other party is, the more it means that the strength is insufficient, otherwise they would have been pushed over with the undead servants.
But where is this ambush?
Could it be that the other party will also use the art of war to take advantage of the geographical advantage to fight an ambush war?
Levi shook his head, slicing the thought out of his head.
On the one hand, I don't believe that the undead lord can understand any art of war, and more importantly, the terrain change of Northon is not very obvious, and there is no very good terrain for the other party to use.
As he was thinking, Kata leaned in and asked with a little embarrassment, "Lord Levi, do you have any water to drink there...... There are so many of us that the water has long since run out. ”
The gnolls hadn't had enough to eat for the past two days, so after Kata had finished distributing the dry food, they all stored it in their stomachs, and drank all the water that was left.
"Ah, there is. ”
Levi then called out to Egger and asked him to bring a few buckets of water, "A few more buckets, there are more ...... gnolls."
As soon as these words came out, it suddenly occurred to him that maybe this undead lord was not using the terrain to ambush them, but to use numbers.
Iger asks the dwarves to arrange buckets of water for the gnolls, when he suddenly hears Levi ask him.
"Egger, our mission is to rid the Western Valley of the undead, how many do you say there are?"
"At least eight hundred to a thousand, the information says there are three small tribes around. ”
After the dwarves sent all the water out, Egger closed the portal and said, "If it's less than eight hundred, we shouldn't be sent, let alone a team mission." ”
"Well, it should be, so do you think that guy will use all the undead there against us?"
"You're saying that the undead lord plans to have his undead minions come out of the side while we clean up the living corpses of the natives?"
Levi nodded.
"Will it?"
Dai Erman asked suspiciously, "How does that guy know about our mission?"
Levi explained: "It may be speculated, but there are the most undead in the vicinity, so it is basically not considered a walk for so many people like us to come here, right?"
Next to him, Iger thought about it and added: "Levi reminds him that the other party may also drive those living corpses over to deal with us, or simply turn those living corpses into his own servants."
It's just that both of these are cumbersome and require time and effort. ”
"Then it depends on how much he wants to pay. ”
If the undead lord does not take him as a servant, the converted natives will not accept his control at all, and he will not be able to direct the movement of the ownerless living corpses.
Whether to drive over and besiege or wait for the rabbit depends on what the undead lord wants to do.
"And what are you going to do?"
Iger asked softly, the undead lord really used all the undead in the western valley as Levi said, and it was really not easy to successfully complete the task.
"Don't worry, let everyone rest in place first, eat something to replenish their strength, and then continue to hurry. ”
"Good. ”
Egger and Delman didn't ask why, and answered to deliver the order.
Kata was a little dumbfounded, knowing that he wouldn't let the gnolls eat so quickly.
After everyone had sat down to rest, Levi called Verin to his side and opened the map in front of her.
"Verin, you work hard, pick two more people to bypass this direction, and rush to the valley from the side to investigate the situation. ”
"If you encounter an undead lord, don't stop, turn around and run, if you go to the valley and don't meet any strange people, and you find that the living corpses are all gathered together, then fly kites with those living corpses!"
"Master, what do you mean by flying a kite?"
"That is, you shoot an arrow at a living corpse, and if they chase you, you run, and if they don't, you keep shooting until they are all scattered. ”
"Understood, master, I'll fly them all!"
"Okay, go ahead, remember not to fight, give priority to saving your life!"
"Yes!"
Levi's last two sentences warmed Verin's heart, nodded vigorously, and then called the four dark elves to his side and muttered a few words, and the five of them rushed into the woods from different directions.
After the five dark elves left, Levi smiled and looked around the surrounding forest to see what the undead lord was going to do.
The team rested for a long time, and after half an hour, Li Wei slowly asked everyone to gather and set off, and deliberately slowed down the march. One time teasing Valila, the other slipping Arya away, it doesn't look like going on a mission at all, but it looks like playing.
Levi was not in a hurry, and Egger and Dai Erman were naturally not in a hurry, swaying on the road, but Kata and Dina couldn't understand it.
It's just that the three lords didn't have any words, so naturally they couldn't say anything.
But at this time, Wood, who was dressed in black robes, lost patience and got up from a pile of bushes in a hurry.
It wasn't an easy task to gather the wandering ownerless living corpses together, and it took a lot of effort for him to do it, with a dozen skeletons shredded along the way.
But those living corpses were not dead things after all, and even if he brought them all together, if it took too long for no one to take care of them, these living corpses would still wander somewhere else, and then all his efforts would be in vain.
Originally, he had already calculated the time according to the speed at which Levi and the others were hurrying, but the news from the shadow servants just now showed that those people were not halfway through now!
"If it weren't for the Holy Lord's order not to move those guys, there would be no need for such trouble!"
The Undead Lord's voice was low to himself, but there was a strong hatred in it.
These aborigines have the most influence on the Norson plane, and they all become undead in order to speed up the transformation of the Norson plane, but if they are controlled by the undead lord, then this influence will disappear directly.
This kind of order didn't care about the undead lord at the beginning, after all, the power status of these aborigines of Northon was not worth mentioning when they were transformed into living corpses.
But now that he has lost most of his ghouls, he urgently needs to replenish his forces to deal with the enemy.
"No matter, there are so many aborigines in this plane, it's not bad!"
The vast majority of undead lords have become extremely irritable because they have been affected by the necromantic qi, and they will not think about it at all.
So driven by hatred, Lord Wood decided to take some of the living corpses and drive all the others over!
Leaving the shadows where they were to keep watch, Wood gathered the rest of the undead minions and walked towards the place where the group of living corpses was.
However, when he arrived, he was instantly furious when he saw the scene in front of him!
The living corpses that were supposed to be gathered together turned out to be scattered in the woods, scattered everywhere!
