Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 30: Wild Wolf Brotherhood
After a few minutes, this group of werewolves was completely defeated, and Levi also saw the Sigma priest use different divine spells many times.
In addition to the blessing spell that can enhance attack, he can also treat minor injuries and has a special technique to strengthen attack. Levi doesn't know the name of that power for the time being. After all, the priests use divine arts, not the magic familiar to mages. He doesn't have the energy to understand it in depth for the time being.
But what he was sure of was that this Sigma Priest was at least a Tier 2 soldier, and there was a high probability that he was an elite.
He also received another mediocre battle evaluation. This time he was not surprised, after all, two militiamen on his side did die in the battle.
And although the opponent has three level 2 soldiers, our strength is not inferior. After all, we have Sigma Priest and others as reinforcements.
In addition, it should be related to the battle on Sam's side. Through the system prompts, he learned that they also suffered some casualties as bait.
After thanking Levi in a very hurried manner, Priest Sigma ignored his own fatigue, bent down and groped for something on the ground.
Levi couldn't help but feel curious. What was going on? Was this priest trying to steal the spoils?
Although he was indeed the one who killed the werewolf, there was absolutely no way they would have been able to do that without his rescue, right?
But after a few seconds, Levi knew that he had guessed wrong. Priest Sigma was not looking for trophies, but had bloody cut off the ears of two werewolves and pulled out several fangs from their mouths. Most importantly, he found a blood-stained letter.
When seeing the letter, his two companions beside him also showed the same joy. Obviously they all knew the importance of this letter.
Before Levi could speak, the slightly disheveled halfling thief came back. The little flower fairies were still staying by his side intact, but the two militiamen stayed in the wilderness forever.
Sam's face was filled with shame: "Sir, I..."
Levi waved his hand: "I know, you have tried your best. In order to fight against evil, sometimes you have to pay a price."
Even in the fierce battle, he did not miss the system prompt of the death of the two militiamen. At the same time, he knew that Sam did try his best, because the arrows of the werewolf hunters were coated with poison, and the two militiamen were poisoned to death.
Even Sam's own health points are now only in single digits. You know, in order to better complete his task, he had deliberately given the opponent a foot grease to increase his speed. Coupled with Sam's own agility, he should still be safe. But now he is still in this state, which means that he really risked his life.
Upon hearing Levi's words, Pastor Sigma next to him immediately perked up: "Yes, sir, you are right. Thank you again for lending a helping hand to us!"
The two men next to him, whose specific occupations were not yet clear, nodded repeatedly, looking very approving.
Levi immediately smiled secretly, exchanged a few polite words with the other party, and then began to ask them why they were here.
Perhaps because his life had just been saved, and the two words Levi deliberately said resonated with him, so Pastor Sigma quickly told him the truth.
"We have evidence that the strength of these gnolls in the Stoney Highlands is slowly increasing. Among them, the strength of a very small number of elite gnolls has increased by leaps and bounds, and their offensiveness has also become stronger and stronger. So we suspect that this is most likely related to the Wild Wolf Brotherhood."
"Unfortunately, when we were about to pass the message back, we were unexpectedly attacked by these beasts, and even our scholars were killed on the spot."
Having said that, Priest Sigma pressed his chest again, where there was a blood-stained letter, which was also an important evidence left by the scholar.
Hearing this, Donna couldn't help but get excited: "The Wild Wolf Brotherhood? Is it the evil organization composed entirely of werewolves?"
Levi knew why she behaved like this. Although they had not met for a long time, he already knew that Donna had a strong interest in hunting various powerful monsters. Creatures like werewolves could undoubtedly be classified as prey by Donna.
Priest Sigma nodded. He still had an impression of this Amazon. If it weren't for her precise archery skills, the previous battle might have been even more dangerous.
"It is said that there are all kinds of werewolves and jackals in the Mad Wolf Brotherhood. Their leader is a giant werewolf hero with a head level of over 15. He is notorious and is wanted in many regions because of many large-scale looting and massacres."
"Some werewolves were born naturally, some were cursed, some were transformed by evil wizards with magic, and some were even born from lycanthropy. In short, their origins vary, but all of them are giant werewolves. And it seems that it has a special way to make them all have the power of frenzy, becoming more bloodthirsty and more powerful. "
Level 15?
Levi knew that if what the other party said was true, this might be a large-scale continuous task.
In this vast world with many gods and many different dimensions, perhaps a level 15 heroic werewolf is not a real big shot, but it is definitely a very powerful deterrent in the novice village.
Moreover, it can give ordinary werewolves the skill of frenzy. This giant werewolf may not be that simple.
Wait, when we encountered that group of Gnoll slave hunters before, one of the Gnoll warlords used the berserk skill, didn’t he?
He looked at Donna and found that she nodded at him very straightforwardly, and it was obvious that she was thinking of the same thing.
"Come to think of it, several nearby villages have indeed sensed that the gnolls in the Stoney Highlands have been a little unusual recently. So do you think that the gnolls, including Hogg, may have joined the Wild Wolf Brotherhood?"
"Yes, this is exactly why we are fighting them. In addition to the letters, scholars have said that their fangs may be a little abnormal. We may not be able to bring back their bodies, but at least we can bring their fangs back for professionals to examine. I hope you can escort us!"
With a slight sound, the system prompted him that his mission had changed and he now needed to make a choice as to whether to bring back an extra body of a werewolf soldier in addition to the fangs and the letter.
Obviously, there will be a difference in the difficulty between the two, because the Werewolf soldier is almost two meters tall and covered with muscles. The corpse probably weighs two or three hundred kilograms. He needs several subordinates to take turns dragging it, and the speed cannot be fast, which will affect their combat effectiveness and retreat speed to a considerable extent.
Although there is no clear relevant display on the system panel, he has already found out through actual detection. Just like morale, hidden attributes such as physical strength also exist and have a considerable effect. Once the physical strength is greatly consumed, the subordinates' attack speed and attack power will be affected.
But correspondingly, the final rewards for the two different choices will definitely be quite different.
After just a quick glance, Levi felt a little weird. Priest Sigmar had clearly said the key word "Wild Wolf Brotherhood", but why was it not mentioned at all in the task description?
Is it possible that Pastor Sigma and the scholar were both wrong?
Although he had such an idea in his mind, Levi was not stupid enough to bring it up now. He knew too little about this game and had even been cheated by the Kobolds before. It was better not to make rash assumptions when the information was incomplete.
Let's finish this task first. Anyway, there are many tasks in Green Blade Village and against Hogg and the gnolls on the Stoney Highlands. He still has plenty of time to figure them out.
After a little hesitation, he finally decided to carry a corpse with him. If things couldn't be done, he could just give it up.
After making the decision, he took out some supplies and let Priest Sigma and the others recover their strength. Although they were very brave just now, their health and strength had obviously been consumed a lot, and there were obvious beads of sweat on their bodies and faces. No matter how anxious they were, they had to take a break. He didn't ask them to contribute much, but at least they shouldn't fall behind.
It just so happened that Zhou Miyin and the volunteers had already cleaned up the battlefield, and Levi was very satisfied to find that compared to ordinary gnolls, the gnolls were obviously much wealthier.
Although there were only about two hundred copper coins, probably because the werewolf society did not use gold as currency, several pieces of equipment did drop.
Gnoll Flail (White - Normal): Attack 4-11, Use requirement: Strength 8;
Gnoll Spear (White - Common): Attack 3-8, Use Requirements: None;
Heavy Crossbow (White - Normal): Attack 2-8, usage requirements: Strength 4, Agility 5.
In addition, there are dozens of crossbow arrows that are compatible with the heavy crossbow, and they are not ordinary stuff, they are even slightly more precious than the heavy crossbow itself.
Crossbow - Jungle Spider Poison (Green - Excellent): Attack 0-2, 50% chance of poisoning the target (Jungle Spider Poison) when attacking, losing 5 HP within 3 seconds, multiple attacks cannot cause the same poisoning effect to stack, but the duration can be stacked, no usage requirements.
This is exactly the weapon used by the werewolf hunters. The two militiamen before had died from this poison. Fortunately, Donna and the half-elf hunters did not give the other side a chance, otherwise others might have been in danger.
Next came the spoils from the werewolf tamer, which was also what Levi expected most in this battle!
Hunting Shackles (Green - Excellent) are special items used by gnolls to capture other races or animals. The lower the target's remaining health, the higher the capture success rate. When the target is in a coma, unarmed or fallen state where they cannot resist, the success rate will be further increased.
Note: Shackles have 30 hit points and can be damaged by attacks.
