Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 104: Battle of Revenge
After killing hundreds of enemies, they planned to return to the village to rest. Not only were they all exhausted after fighting for a whole day, but also because the supplies they carried with them, such as arrows, herbs, and bandages, were running low.
Although Levi and his men now have two small space rings specifically for placing arrows, they are still not enough when the battle situation is tense.
Especially today, we encountered some tough tree people, which really cost us a lot.
Moreover, fighting in the dark is actually very disadvantageous for half-elves or humans who have no dark vision. It is difficult for archers to see in the dark, and even more difficult to aim.
On the contrary, all gnolls have the ability to see in the dark to a certain extent, and coyotes, hyenas and some elite gnolls may also have the ability to fight at night, which can enhance their attack power and other attributes. If one gains while the other loses, it will be very difficult to fight against each other.
Therefore, no matter how much military merit points one is eager for, almost no God-chosen hero would choose to fight at night, because the gain does not outweigh the loss.
Likewise, the wilderness at night will become extremely dangerous. In addition to the fact that many animals and monsters have the ability to fight at night, becoming more difficult to deal with than during the day, there are also many ferocious animals roaming around.
Of course, for the drow elves who are accustomed to living in the Underdark, and the undead who associate with darkness, night is when they are truly active.
What's more, as the battle continues, after more than 8 hours, the chosen heroes will gradually enter a state of soul exhaustion.
Their personal attribute panels will not be affected in any way, but the experience points they can gain through combat will decay rapidly, and once 16 hours have passed, the efficiency will be almost zero. Even if they kill a level 3 enemy, they will not gain any experience points at all.
Therefore, no matter how hard-working you are, you will not fight for that long every day, because once you start fighting, it is easy to suffer casualties, which often does not make up for the gain, especially for professions such as priests and paladins who need to pray every day, the impact will be even greater.
Levi also follows this principle. He is usually out for more than ten hours, and uses the remaining time to replenish supplies, sell spoils, enchant other people's weapons, communicate, collect and organize intelligence information, etc.
During the march, Sam, who was in charge of reconnaissance in front, hurried back and said with gritted teeth: "Sir, I have scouted two teams that are very different from ordinary gnoll patrols. One of them is a beast tamer with a long whip, and the other is a thief wielding two daggers!"
Levi's breathing suddenly became a little unsteady: "You mean, the other party is likely to be those two guys?"
At this time, Donna next to him also became interested: "Oh, it was the two wolf-chosen heroes who almost successfully ambushed us outside the kobold camp?"
After spending a few days together, she learned a lot about Levi, especially after joining the team. It seemed that only those two enemies posed a strong threat to Levi, and they really had the possibility of success at the beginning.
Of course, Levi didn't tell anyone about how he was tricked by the kobolds, mainly because it was too embarrassing.
Sam nodded vigorously. "Although I didn't get too close to avoid alerting the enemy, I am almost certain that it was them!"
Even though they were both gnolls, there were huge differences between the chosen heroes and the natives in many details such as behavior, dress, and even way of thinking. At least regarding those two hateful guys, Sam could guarantee that he was not mistaken.
Levi clenched his fists fiercely: "Okay, it's a good time to settle the hatred!"
Then he turned around to look at the confused and bewildered Big Lolita Cindy and Little Queen Janet and the others: "I'll tell you the details later. Now you just need to know that they are the enemies we must kill!"
Cindy responded immediately and clearly: "Okay, Brother Levi, I understand. It is my duty to fight against evil!"
In fact, she didn't need to know so much. Anyway, the other party was a hateful werewolf, so just kill him!
Janet naturally wouldn't have any objection. After all, she and the bees had now become Levi's subordinates, not to mention that her new friend Cindy had already said so.
So a few minutes later, Levi and his men, led by Sam, rushed towards the opponent's temporary resting place with great momentum.
In order to conceal himself and make the sneak attack as successful as possible, Levi didn't even let Janet and the others go first.
After arriving at the place, he found that it was indeed those two hateful guys. They seemed to have just had a fight with a high elf hero chosen by God. There were still some residual bloodstains and tattered clothes on the ground. They were resting at the moment.
Moreover, they seemed to have monopolized the gnoll novice village in the Stoney Highlands, which had allowed them to develop quite well. Compared to the last time they were outside the kobold camp, the size of their troops had increased instead of decreased.
Now with the combined efforts of the two guys, there are more than thirty gnolls in the team, including some Tier 2 soldiers, and there are almost the same number of coyotes, hyenas, jackals, vultures and other beasts as support.
All gnolls start at level 1. With this level of strength, it is indeed difficult for ordinary God-chosen heroes to compete with them.
But the problem is that they shouldn’t have offended Levi!
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. Without any hesitation, Levi gave an order and ordered the troops to launch a full-scale attack.
Donna was the first to shout and used a string of arrows to aim at the beast tamer God's chosen hero. Then dozens of arrows with the burning arrow technique fell from the sky, covering an area of several meters around him.
This is Donna's battle skill - projectile. After sacrificing a little hit rate, the archers under her command can shoot over some obstacles and the range will become longer!
There was no suspense at all. The tamer who was regarded as the target was killed instantly under unexpected circumstances. As the white light rose, the many wild beasts that originally belonged to his command were instantly thrown into chaos.
Some of them fled backwards, some turned around like headless flies, and some attacked directly in the direction of Levi and the others. What's worse, some of them launched indiscriminate attacks on other beasts around them.
After the chosen heroes die in battle, the soldiers under their command will take different actions based on their intelligence, personality, and behavioral habits, and these brainless beasts perform particularly poorly.
But this is not the end. As Levi cast spells one after another, two wind elements and a light sub-air summon also appeared. At the same time, Janet, who had already received the order, also led the bees to launch a charge. This time their target was still the opponent's ranged troops.
Finally, Zhou Miyin, Cindy and other melee troops also steadily pressed forward. This time they would rely on their absolute advantage to completely defeat the opponent in one fell swoop!
Seeing this, another gnoll rogue hero was stunned. He couldn't help but shout, "What's going on? Didn't they say that there will be a large army to attack in seven days? Isn't it only the fourth day?"
But in just a few dozen words, Donna's string of arrows had already arrived again.
He was suddenly startled, and relying on the thief's own agility, after being hit twice, he barely dodged the third arrow by turning sideways, and with the help of his equipment, he did not die in this sniper attack.
This also reminded him of a former enemy. He immediately retreated to avoid the arrows that were bound to come, and couldn't help shouting, "It's you, Levi!"
Levi in the distance couldn't help but snorted: "Oh, it seems that you are quite concerned about me."
He was not surprised that the other party knew his name. In fact, as the only God-chosen hero in the vicinity who could enchant, he had a little fame in the forum.
It just so happened that the gnolls in the Stoney Highlands were in a hostile state with several high elf villages such as Maple Leaf Village, so it was quite normal for the other party to know his information.
"Levi, no, Boss Levi, let me go, I was wrong last time, I shouldn't have troubled you!"
The werewolf thief begged for mercy while trying to command his subordinates to evacuate, but due to the harassment from many bees and several summoned creatures, his subordinates were unable to successfully complete his orders.
"If apologies are useful, what do we need the police for? Besides, you killed several of my men!"
Levi had no mercy at all. Such an enemy was not worthy of sympathy.
Seeing that his begging for mercy failed, the werewolf cursed angrily and tried to organize his troops to counterattack. Even if he couldn't escape, he had to at least bite off a piece of flesh from the enemy to make his sacrifice worthwhile.
But soon he discovered in despair that even such a simple wish was almost out of reach. The enemy killed most of his troops one after another with overwhelming force, while he only killed one summoned creature!
At the last moment of despair, he could not help but roar again: "Levi, don't be complacent, our boss Chen Zhui will avenge me. He is a stronger animal trainer than me. In addition to the regular soldiers, he has more than a dozen jackal javelin throwers and giant magic jackals under his command. Both of them are rare tier 2 soldiers, and they can restore health by eating corpses!"
Levi narrowed his eyes immediately. There was actually a third Gnoll Chosen Hero in Stoney Highlands, and he was even stronger. This was a little beyond his expectations. After all, compared to humans and elves, Gnolls were just a very small race, and because of their ugly appearance, they were not favored by the Chosen Heroes.
If the other party is not lying, Chen Zhui of the End of the World who possesses these powers is indeed quite powerful.
However, the only thing that puzzled him now was that the other party did not look like a fool. Why did he tell him his boss's strength in such detail? Was he afraid that he could not defeat his boss?
Moreover, why did they come all the way here to fight? Aren’t they afraid of being discovered and attacked by the chosen heroes of the High Elves?
Or do they actually have some unspeakable secrets?
