Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 45: Attack of the Hobgoblins
A few minutes later, Levi and his team arrived near the ogre camp.
Sure enough, just as Sam said, the hobgoblins came, and they were not just a small group of goblins like before, but a real army.
The earth elves that appeared in their sight were all well-equipped, in neat formation, and looked very well-trained.
Among them, there are more than sixty level 1 hobgoblin soldiers alone, and among them are some hobgoblins with better equipment who look like squad leaders. They may be the hobgoblin sergeants that Donna mentioned before. Although they are also level 1 soldiers, almost all of them are elites.
There were even a dozen earth elves riding wolves in the back, with about thirty or forty tamed coyotes.
In addition, there are more than three hundred mixed troops. Although most of them are cannon fodder-level goblins, there are also some upright big rats, which are Skaven, as well as some fishmen with scales all over their bodies and carp heads, and even a few werewolves.
Their weapons and equipment are also varied, and it seems that they are most likely slaves and servants who were tamed after being defeated by the earth elves.
The most eye-catching ones are the giant ants that are three or four meters long. On their backs are professionally processed tree trunks with metal heads installed. They are a kind of war weapon - a battering ram!
Donna had said more than once before that the hobgoblins were an evil race with combat wisdom. Although Levi kept it in mind, he did not truly appreciate it. He even looked down on them a little. After all, the opponent's strength was not that good.
But now he saw with his own eyes the other party's peculiarities. Although goblins and hobgoblins differ by only one letter, they are actually completely different species!
He suddenly felt that he was in trouble.
He originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, but although he guessed that both sides would have a certain degree of wisdom, he did not expect that the earth elves would be so powerful.
If the hobgoblins crushed their way through and easily broke through the kobold camp, then I wouldn't have any chance at all and most of the day would have been wasted!
Soon, following the command of a hobgoblin holding a flag, dozens of hobgoblins moved quickly, with the hobgoblins holding swords and shields in the front, followed by spearmen, and finally some archers, crossbowmen and other ranged troops. They were arranged in a very neat formation, guarding the giant ants and battering rams.
However, they did not head towards the ogre camp immediately, but waited where they were.
They are now several miles away from the ogre camp, and there are plenty of trees and grass as cover, so they don't have to worry too much about being discovered by the enemy in advance.
Levi was a little confused for a moment and couldn't understand what the other party was doing, but his expression became more and more serious. Could it be that he had been busy for most of the day and in the end he really had to be a dowry for the earth elves?
Really, that big goblin holding the flag was too cunning. It actually shrank right into the middle of all its companions, not giving itself any chance at all.
After staring at him fiercely for a few times and remembering the appearance of the hobgoblin commander deeply in his mind, Levi confirmed with Amazon again: "Donna, I remember you said that the hobgoblin wolf cavalry are all level 3 soldiers, right?"
Donna shook her head slightly. "No, I mean those experienced earth wolf cavalrymen who may be able to reach level 3. They are also called wolf bosses. There is no difference in appearance, but they usually take a few younger brothers with them in battle. As for ordinary earth wolf cavalrymen, they are generally only level 2 in strength."
"There are thousands of hobgoblin tribes on the eastern prairie. Each hobgoblin tribe has dozens to thousands of wolf cavalrymen, which is the strongest combat force that an ordinary hobgoblin tribe can have. If they can all reach level 3 strength, that would be hundreds of thousands or even millions of level 3 soldiers. I'm afraid even the powerful Zhendan Dynasty would find it a bit troublesome, right?"
The 0-2 level troops, apart from some differences in basic attributes, do not have a particularly large difference in strength. If the 0-level troops are equipped with the best weapons and armor, they may be able to challenge the 1-level troops.
But after reaching level 3, the gap in strength between them will become larger with each level increase, because they no longer fight by brute force as before, but begin to possess a variety of skills and talents, and their combat wisdom will also increase rapidly.
Levi was slightly relieved. If it was a dozen level 3 Earth Wolf Cavalry, he would have no idea of attacking at all. He still remembered the powerful strength of the suspected level 3 werewolf commander.
But if it is level 2, the problem will be much simpler.
However, the information Donna just revealed, hundreds of thousands of level 3 troops, can only make the Zhendan Dynasty feel a little troubled? Based on this inference, these indigenous forces are a bit terrifyingly strong!
But it is not unacceptable. After all, as the chosen heroes continue to grow, each of them may have hundreds or thousands of soldiers under their command in the later stage. If the indigenous people are too weak, some small villages may be easily plundered by them.
Seeing that Levi was a little absent-minded, Donna couldn't help but raise the bow in her hand: "Levi, don't worry too much, I have regained my former strength. They are just some hobgoblins. We still have a chance."
" Apart , I can't see their commander for now. But according to convention, it's unlikely that he will exceed the third-level elite. As for the remaining slaves, although there are many of them, they are nothing to be afraid of."
Levi knew that the other party had some misunderstandings. Although he was a little annoyed about the big changes in the plan, he was not afraid of these guys.
But he did not explain, he just said with some emotion: "It is because of your existence, Donna, that I dare to take advantage of the situation and make such a decision. Unfortunately, you are just employed by me now. If I lose your help in the future..."
He didn't finish his words, but Donna certainly understood what he meant. She smiled immediately and said, "If it weren't for you, Levi, I wouldn't have recovered my memory and strength so quickly. Besides, it was you who brought me out of prison in the first place."
"Proud Amazons are born to fear the strong and the wise. Although we have not met for a long time, I think your wisdom is not inferior to the priests of my tribe. If you really need the power of me, Donna Drake from Paradise Island, then join me in killing a hero of the enemy force!"
After a slight hesitation, she continued, "Or, if you can give me a hero's spirit, that will also count. How about changing the time to half a month?"
As she finished speaking, a system prompt rang in Levi's ears. The mission regarding the other party that he had received in prison was terminated directly. There was neither any reward nor any punishment.
In its place was a new mission.
Its introduction is very concise and clear. It means that if one of the two conditions specified by Donna Drake is achieved within half a month, the powerful hero unit Amazon Ranger can be successfully recruited, and during this period, she will always work with him.
Levi was immediately surprised. He didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain!
"Donna, thank you very much for your trust. I will definitely not let you down."
He said so and thought so. In comparison, the things happening in the ogre camp were no longer important.
No matter how wealthy the ogres are, can their camp provide him with a heroic unit?
Even if it costs him his life, he must kill enough gnolls to exchange a hero's spirit for her.
But, she is already a hero, so what does she need that thing for? Didn’t she say it has a lot of weaknesses?
Donna laughed but didn't say anything else. If Levi could really complete her task, there would be many days ahead and they would have plenty of time to communicate!
