Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 6: Trap
He called back the militiamen who wanted to go to the rescue, and asked them to form a formation on the spot, while he shot arrows continuously, aiming directly at the kobold slingers.
Although the gnolls fled before because they intentionally lured themselves into a trap, they were also defeated by their own side. Moreover, they had no military skills at all, so during the escape, more than a dozen gnolls kept a considerable distance from each other.
There are only a few gnolls and a hyena in front of him. There are small wind elements pulling back and forth to attract the opponent's attention. This battle may not be impossible to continue!
Although the militiamen whose companions had just died looked very scared, they still chose to obey orders and began to form a formation in front of him. However, the six militiamen with wounds all over their bodies were somewhat weaker than the dozen or so kobolds.
Four or five ogres came around the trap from both sides, and the remaining one raised its slingshot again. However, before it could launch an attack, a rough wooden arrow hit it, interrupting its movement directly. Then another arrow flew over and interrupted its movement again.
Although Levi's bow and arrow was also very simple, it had certain advantages over the slingshot in terms of range and accuracy.
The small wind element did not continue the pursuit, but took the initiative to meet the kobold reinforcements including hyenas, wandering back and forth, leading them to the other side of the trap, not seeking to kill the enemy, only to delay them.
Since the enemy has the advantage in numbers, we must eliminate them one by one!
After a while, Levi had discovered that he didn't need to shout out orders to the small wind element. There was a special , and he could communicate with them directly mentally.
Perhaps the dog-headed people are naturally good at digging traps, or perhaps they were originally used to catch large prey, so the area of this trap is very large, dozens of square meters, which is just right for them.
Soon the low intelligence of the dog-headed people became apparent. They might be a little cunning by nature, so they could set traps and use ambushes, but they did not possess real wisdom.
Therefore, most of them were quickly attracted to it, and they were unable to realize that the small wind element was deliberately luring them. They always wanted to catch up with it and kill it.
But Levi had secretly given orders, asking it to keep the gnolls hanging, keeping a distance of several meters, and start circling around the trap.
It seemed that the dog-headed people could catch up with one pounce, but they didn't know that this distance of a few meters was something they could never reach because the difference in agility between them was too great.
Even if some smarter ogres tried to attack Levi directly, they were no match for the combined strength of multiple militiamen.
So before he knew it, when Levi's arrows were almost exhausted, the ogres that had returned to the battlefield had been almost all killed by him, leaving only two still fighting with the militia.
Looking at their actions against each other, Levi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was really just a fight between two noobs. Both sides were very cautious and would only really attack each other after a long time of gestures. They were nothing like the small wind element over there. No matter how many enemies there were, he would just raise his fist and hit them.
He couldn't help but have some associations. Perhaps the class of a military unit affects not only its combat effectiveness or potential, but also its fighting enthusiasm, and even more?
It seems that we need to get rid of these ordinary low-level soldiers as soon as possible.
Inadvertently, a dog-headed man looked back and found that most of his companions had turned into corpses on the ground. It immediately couldn't help but bark, as if it finally began to think of running away. But at this time Levi no longer concealed it, he directly ordered his subordinates to attack together.
After a few minutes, although they unfortunately fell into a trap, under Levi's command, after a hard battle, they finally turned defeat into victory and killed all the enemies in front of them.
At this time, the duration of the small wind element had expired. Accompanied by a faint light, its entire body dissipated in the wind, leaving only Levi and six militiamen covered in blood and scars.
Although they were not dead, their health points were basically only in single digits, which was very dangerous. If another group of hyenas came, they would probably be killed together with Levi himself.
“The settlement of this battle:
Our team killed 12 Kobolds (Tier 0), 6 Kobold Miners (Tier 0), 5 Kobold Slingers (Tier 0), 1 Kobold Slinger (Elite Tier 0), and 1 Hyena. The casualties were 2 Militiamen. The highest contribution was made by the Small Wind Elemental, which received 10 extra experience points as a reward.
Since it is a summoned creature, this reward will be given directly to the summoner.
Based on the comparison of the strength and casualties of both sides, this battle is evaluated as a hearty victory, the experience value acquisition rate is 120%, and you have successfully obtained 85 experience points, as well as 10 additional experience points as a reward. "
"You have obtained some information about kobolds, kobold miners, and kobold slingers. Please click to view it."
As soon as he looked at the system settlement, Levi immediately thought that as expected, enemies killed by his own hands would gain higher experience points.
But there is an elite unit among them? No wonder one of them is more resistant to attack. Maybe it is also responsible for commanding this ambush?
But it didn't matter anymore, the battle was over.
After looking at the information about the ogres, he found that the physique of the ogres was similar to that of the militia, but their health points were less, which meant that their physique was penalized more. Even if it was the same 1 point of attribute, it could have completely different effects on different races and professions.
He assigned half of the militia to clean up the battlefield and search for the spoils of battle, and the remaining half to remain on guard. He began to study the system's prompts.
Last time, no one on our side was injured, so the evaluation was slightly advantageous. This time, two militiamen died and the rest were all seriously injured, but the evaluation was higher. In addition to casualties, could it be related to the comparison of combat effectiveness between the enemy and us before the war?
Moreover, as a small wind element summoned creature, it seems that it does not account for a large proportion in it. If this is the case...
However, after killing four types of enemies, I only have information about three of them, but not about the hyena. Is it because the number of kills is not enough, so the next stage cannot be unlocked?
Unfortunately, there is too little information now, and studying them is just a waste of time. After gaining so much experience points, the first thing he does is of course to upgrade!
There was no flash of light, he just felt his body slightly warm and his mind clear, and then he had successfully reached level 1.
"Ding! Congratulations on your upgrade. You have gained 1 free attribute point. Your leadership has increased by 10 points. Based on your profession, your maximum health has increased by 2, and your maximum mana has increased by 5."
"Your professional talent: Summoning Magic Pet has been successfully activated. You can summon a small animal with magical talents to be your partner. Depending on your choice, this can enhance certain aspects of your abilities."
"When your familiar is upgraded, your abilities may also be upgraded. When you try to revive a dead familiar or replace it with a new one, it will consume some of your experience points and money."
“The default available animals are bats, frogs, cats, falcons, lizards, mice, snakes, ravens and weasels, etc. You can also find other animals as your partners. Some of the rare animals may provide you with additional attributes or skill bonuses.”
