Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 53: Unexpected Attack
At this time, they heard loud shouts and curses, dog barking and wolf howling, as well as the sound of flesh being cut from behind. They were attacked and it was obvious that a fight had already started!
Without even looking back or turning around, he immediately put on a mage armor for himself, and then ordered the small wind element and the ferocious ape whose duration had not yet expired to attack the nearest enemy.
After doing all this, Levi turned around and faced the enemy.
After he saw the other party clearly, his eyes focused instantly. He originally thought that some kobolds had ambushed him, but he found that he was wrong. It was not kobolds, but some jackals!
No wonder the opponent's first target was not him, the God-chosen hero, but rather the relatively vulnerable subordinates such as the Halfling Wanderer Sam and the Half-Elf Hunter who fell behind, because the Jackal's crossbow could not reach their position at all!
At this time, five or six hyenas and coyotes were besieging Sam, and at the same time, a dozen jackals were surrounding them from both sides, seemingly trying to stop them.
Not far away, there were two jackals with rather strange looks supervising the battle. One of them was holding a long whip. There were at least a dozen hyenas and coyotes surrounding . On his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, were two bald necks, which looked like some kind of strange vultures.
This gnoll seems to be a beast tamer, but I don’t know whether he is a hero chosen by God or a native.
As for the other werewolf, he was not completely unfamiliar with it, because the other party was the werewolf hero he had noticed before!
I don't know how they noticed something was wrong and turned here to attack Levi and the others.
They have two vultures that can act as scouts in the sky, and being high above does give them a considerable advantage.
Fortunately, Sam is very agile and has just advanced to a Tier 2 Wanderer, which further enhanced his strength . He is not afraid of sudden attacks and can fight calmly.
Besides, he was not alone, as Zhou Miyin and the volunteers had already gone to meet him, so although it was dangerous, he was not seriously injured for the time being. He just had a few more claw marks on his body, which made him look a little embarrassed.
And after the small wind element and the ferocious ape arrived one after another and further distracted the opponent's attention, he was finally out of danger.
It’s just a pity for those half-elf hunters. They had no close combat ability at all, and two of them were killed on the spot under the enemy’s targeted raid.
This is also one of the differences between the God-chosen heroes and many low-intelligence wild monsters. The God-chosen heroes all know that it is better to break one finger than to hurt ten fingers. Once they fight with them, casualties are inevitable regardless of victory or defeat.
At this time, Donna also shot arrows continuously, and killed two . This made the jackals a little afraid. With this delay, Levi quickly readjusted the formation of the troops. After all, there were only so few people in total, so just shouting a few words would be enough.
The two gnolls looked at each other, both feeling distressed and troubled. What distressed them was that two level 1 gnolls were killed instantly by the enemy.
Although they had monopolized the Gnoll Novice Village in Stoney Highlands and faced almost no competitive pressure, recruiting troops still cost money.
The headache was that they didn't expect the enemy to be so unexpectedly strong. Even though they launched a surprise attack, they only killed two ranged units. That guy who looked like an Amazon was a bit too strong. Could it be that the bow in his hand was very special?
But the arrow had to be shot, and with the roar of the werewolf trainer, more hyenas and coyotes rushed forward.
As if noticing Levi's gaze, the jackal trainer chuckled and said, "Dude, you didn't expect that, did you? This is called the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
His words immediately allowed Levi to confirm the other party's identity, that he was undoubtedly the hero chosen by God.
Another gnoll echoed, "That's right. You two have been in the warehouse for so long, you must have made a lot of money, so just spit some out. After all, this is an opportunity created by us gnolls!"
"That's right, we're brothers and we're not greedy, so we can just split it in half when we meet."
As he spoke, his gaze kept drifting towards Donna, or more precisely, towards the bow and arrow in Donna's hand, and there was obvious desire in his eyes.
It seems that he has misunderstood. Although the bow and arrow is not bad, it is just an ordinary piece of stuff. The reason why it can kill a werewolf in seconds every time is more because Donna herself is strong enough!
But Levi certainly didn't need to explain to the other party. He snorted coldly, held the Flame Iron Badge in one hand, and stretched out his hand to grab forward.
"You created the chance? How shameless! We relied on our own strength and wisdom!"
As the magic power circulated, blazing lines of fire rose up, like a burning giant hand grabbing the herd of beasts in front of it.
The air was suddenly filled with the smell of burning flesh. The hyenas and coyotes were burned and ran around on the ground. The sound of whimpering could be heard all over the place. Two coyotes were burned to death. After all, Zhou Miyin and the others were not there to watch the fun, and they were not in full health before.
And this time Levi was a little surprised to find that the damage value was a little high, even exceeding the damage described on the Flame Iron Badge, but then he immediately realized that this was the effect of his high elf racial talent - spell penetration!
At this time, Donna screamed again, and shot three arrows in a row, directly killing another werewolf.
After accidentally receiving a miracle at the magic pond, she regained her former strength and truly possessed the power that matches the title of hero.
The most obvious thing is that her health and magic points have become extremely abundant. She can use a series of arrows like this up to five times in a short period of time. After killing all these jackals, let's see how arrogant these two guys in front of her can still be!
Seeing that the Amazon on the opposite side had killed another of their subordinates, the two Werewolf God-chosen heroes looked at each other and suddenly felt a little bit at a loss, knowing that they had met a tough opponent this time.
Does this woman have an endless supply of mana? And she can use such powerful skills continuously?
If she releases it three or five more times, even if they can kill all the enemies in the end, it will not be of much benefit except venting their anger. It may not even make up for the losses they have suffered. After all, they have no way to snatch the things in the enemies' space bags!
Seeing the woman opposite killing a werewolf with three consecutive arrows, and the elven wizard slowly moving his hand towards the hyenas and coyotes on the ground, the werewolf trainer was suddenly frightened. He immediately swung the whip, making a very crisp sound in the air, and then slowly retreated.
Another Jackal God-chosen hero also gritted his teeth in hatred and said, "Brother, we were careless this time . You can keep all your things for yourself. We will decide the winner next time we meet!"
With his whistle, the jackals immediately turned around and ran away, howling. Donna was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she saw such cowardly jackals.
But her actions did not delay at all. No matter what these werewolves were thinking, it didn't matter to her. She only knew that turning these guys into corpses was the right thing to do!
Levi was not surprised at all. This was the hero chosen by God. Seeing that the situation was not good, it was natural for him to admit defeat and run away. How much was face worth?
However, he did not expect that the opponent would be scared off by his fake move. If he had known earlier, he would not have pretended. Maybe he could have defeated the opponent completely after fighting for a while.
Thinking this in his heart, he did not spare anyone's words: "Why wait for next time? Let's fight to the death this time!"
Yes, that's right, you die and I live.
The Wolf Man's Chosen Hero spat but said nothing more. He didn't even turn his head, but just ran faster.
He was not stupid and knew that he had indeed met a tough opponent this time. He even lost when fighting two against one.
Originally, there was a chance that they would win if the raid was successful, but since it failed, the Amazon on the other side seemed to have a very powerful bow and arrow in his hand, which could kill one of their werewolves instantly. If they didn't run away, they would be the ones to die.
Seeing the other side running away, Levi didn't show any mercy. The half-elf archers and Amazons continued shooting, specifically targeting the gnolls. In the end, the other side left behind nine gnoll corpses and more than a dozen hyena and coyote corpses. The battle was truly over.
Levi also received a slightly superior evaluation, mainly because two half-elf hunters were killed in the first sneak attack, and later the group of hyenas and coyotes also killed a militiaman, and several gnoll poachers even shot and killed a half-elf soldier alive, which made the system's evaluation lower a lot.
Fortunately, the crossbows used by the werewolf poachers had a short attack range, otherwise if they had secretly launched a volley of fire at me, I would have died unjustly.
So Levi decided that after returning to the village to sell the spoils, he must update his and Donna's equipment to improve their survivability.
After checking the battle records again, Levi discovered that he could gain experience points by killing the subordinates of the God's Choice hero and by killing monsters in the wild, and there was no difference in the values. A werewolf even dropped a rough werewolf flail, which was of gray quality and not worth much.
It’s a pity that I didn’t keep the opponent’s chosen hero. I don’t know if there will be any extra rewards.
Looking at the corpses that quickly turned into light and disappeared, Levi's mood was not so good. Except for the time when he was ambushed by the ogres when he just entered the game, this was the second time that so many of his subordinates died in a battle.
He decided to buy some paper and pen to write this matter down when he returned to Green Blade Village.
"On the evening of a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, two gnoll gods dared to attack me, killing many of my men on the spot. I will remember this grudge and make them pay with blood!"
