Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 39 Donna of Paradise Island
If Donna and others didn't quite understand why Levi wanted to abandon those hobgoblin weapons at the beginning, although their quality was indeed not good, at least they could be exchanged for some supplies.
But when Levi turned around and killed two groups of goblins, and threw down some pickaxes and ores that were very characteristic of the goblins, Donna reacted immediately.
She said with great admiration: "Levi, your wisdom is probably comparable to that of the priests in our tribe."
Li Wei immediately said modestly: "No, no, I'm just giving it a try. Besides, they haven't taken the bait yet."
He only glanced over Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems a few times and learned a little bit, not even the basics.
"No, no, I remember now. A few years ago, a hunter in our tribe was promoted to a priestess because she used a similar strategy to make a group of ground vultures and parrots fight each other. In the end, we were able to capture a large number of mounts without much effort, and the cavalry strength of our tribe was greatly improved as a result."
Donna didn't understand Levi's modesty. She just rubbed her temples and said with certainty: "If you were an Amazon, I believe that you would be able to become a qualified Amazon priest, Levi."
Levi's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Thank you, but if it's that simple, then it seems that the IQ of your tribe's priests is not that good...
But what are ground vultures and macaques? They sound like two special mounts?
Hearing Levi's question, Amazon became obviously interested. She seemed to have recalled many memories that she had once lost, and gradually got better.
"The ground buzzard is a large flightless bird. They often fight with the equally ferocious and aggressive giant macaws. They are very good mounts."
"Of course, if I have a choice, I prefer mounts like saber-toothed tigers or pterosaurs."
Wow, it sounds like each one is stronger than the other. Donna’s memory and strength were damaged before, so Levi didn’t ask much. But now it seems that she is gradually recovering?
"Donna, do you know of any Amazon camps around here?"
He didn't dare to say more, but as long as the ordinary Amazons had half the strength of Donna, he would dare to take them to the Stoney Highlands to hunt the gnolls .
Although he could also recruit elite troops of the high elves through military merit points, he would rather keep them to exchange for more valuable things that money cannot buy, such as the Heart of the Village and the Spirit of the Hero!
"There shouldn't be any nearby. I remember that I encountered undead pirates when I came here by boat. There are several islands on the other side of the sea. In addition to the dark elves and lizardmen, there is another one that belongs to us Amazons. It has a very beautiful name, called Paradise Island."
When Levi heard this, he knew that this was another matter that was unlikely to make progress in the short term. After all, even the local high elves' regular army was confronting the dark elves, so what were these few soldiers under his command? It would be better to focus on the matter at hand.
So for the next half day, they kept repeating the process of attacking the ogres and goblins and framing each other.
Sometimes, they would also encounter other God-chosen heroes, not only high elves, but also humans and dwarves. It seemed that they were from other nearby villages and were attracted by the regional quests in the Stoney Highlands.
But most of them don't have much social interaction. When they see him beating up the ogres and goblins, the other parties often just keep a certain distance , do not interfere with each other, and just say hello from a distance.
Occasionally, there would be people willing to come over and chat, mostly to ask for directions or something like that. Levi also took the opportunity to obtain some information about the surrounding area, but most of it was of little value.
The only slightly useful thing was probably that it let Levi know that compared to the human militia in the High Elves' Novice Village, the types of soldiers that could be hired in the Novice Village of the Human Chosen Heroes were much richer.
As soon as they enter the game, in addition to the militia, there are many 0-level soldiers to choose from, such as thugs, gangsters, ascetics, peasant archers, hounds, etc.
Of course, they are basically at the same level in terms of overall strength.
But as long as they walk around the village a little, they can recruit some stronger troops, including soldiers, armed spearmen, thieves, burglars, apprentice knight squires, hunters and archers, etc. Some people even recruit unconventional troops such as bandits and pirates.
Just looking at these, both short-range and long-range, the start can be said to be very comfortable. They are much stronger than the initial militia of the High Elves. After all, once involved in close combat, there will be some damage.
But after seeing the many options in the previous regional mission rewards, Levi would never think that the high elves were that much weaker than humans.
Again, the reason why they appear so weak in the early stages is most likely because all high elves are soldiers, and the weakest pure-blooded high elves all start at level 2!
After killing another group of goblins and arranging the scene, Levi found a half-elf hunter who met the requirements for advancement.
Unlike the previous militia, this time he only has two branches to choose from, namely half-elf archers and half-elf crossbowmen. Apart from the different weapons they use, there doesn't seem to be much difference .
However, Levi still let the other party choose archers. The reason was actually very simple. It was just because of what Donna said before. She thought that using bows and arrows would have more potential.
As the user's strength increases, the attack power and attack speed of archers will continue to increase, but crossbowmen are always limited by their weapons, because except for small one-handed repeating crossbows, almost all other types of crossbows need to be restrung after firing.
It's a pity that it would be much better if there was an advancement option for the half-elf longbowmen of Greenblade Village. Now it seems that I probably still have to complete some special tasks before I can unlock this option.
Following his order, a level 2 half-elf archer soon appeared in front of everyone. After giving a few words of encouragement, Levi also improved the other party's treatment accordingly according to the system's prompts.
At the same time, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind. At the beginning, the level 0 militia had 3 advanced branches, but the half-elf hunter only had 2. Is this because the level 0 soldiers are always special, or is it because the militia has the strongest plasticity?
If you have enough time and resources, you can give it a try.
But on second thought, if you have the resources to upgrade the militia, then if you save up more, it may be more useful to use them on higher-level soldiers. In the final analysis, it still depends on the cost-effectiveness.
After secretly noting this, he continued to carry out his plan. The number of goblins led by the hobgoblins and the kobold patrols around him had obviously decreased. Perhaps the critical moment was about to come.
