Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 114: Shared Mission
With everyone's efforts, this large group of greenskins were quickly strangled to death, and even the boar rider died even faster.
Although he was a level 3 elite, he was besieged by three level 2 soldiers and was shot with a string of arrows by Donna. Of course, he had no choice but to die on the spot.
It's just a pity for the big wild boar under his command. After its master died, it went straight into a state of frenzy. Donna and Janet both shook their heads when they saw it, indicating that Levi had no way to tame it.
Levi could only regretfully ask the tamer to send two geese and a group of giant bees to kill it. At least its experience points would not be wasted. In fact, as one of the notoriously poor races, the greenskins could only come up with experience points, followed by various weapon skill books with very low probability.
After the battle was completely over, the two chosen heroes came over and thanked him repeatedly.
Levi took another look at the Arlion cavalry and found that their faces looked much better now. They didn't seem to be resentful because Levi didn't let them fight. What they cared more about was that these rude greenskins were completely killed, and that was enough.
He then casually dealt with the two God-chosen heroes. He had never dealt with these two people before because they were both half-elves. They probably just entered the game yesterday and saw that the rewards for the regional tasks were rich, so they wanted to join in the fun. However, it seems that their personalities are not bad, but he doesn't know what specific abilities they have.
Generally speaking, a half-elf is someone who has the blood of both elves and humans flowing through his body. The concentration of this blood varies. Half-elves like those under Levi's command basically have very low blood concentrations. They only have a slight advantage over ordinary humans in terms of agility and archery. As for other talents and skills, they have none at all.
But as heroes chosen by God, they are completely different. In their background settings, one of their parents is a pure-blooded human, and the other must be a pure-blooded elf.
This makes them very different from the half-elf natives. The strong elven blood will bring them different attributes, talents, skills, etc.
I just don't know whether these two guys in front of me chose high elves, dark elves, blood elves, or some other kind of elves.
However, since they can appear in the territory of the high elves, they should all have chosen the elven bloodline that tends to be lawful and good.
"Do you know where these greenskins came from? There doesn't seem to be a large greenskin tribe nearby."
One of the half-elves said with a twinkle in his eyes, "Well, maybe they migrated from other territories to fight for territory. After all, the gnolls have been weakened recently."
Levi narrowed his eyes slightly. In his opinion, this place was very poor, but for gnolls and orcs, this place might still have some appeal, so at first glance, what the other party said did make some sense.
But the other person's expression seemed to be telling him that he was lying. It seemed that the other person's real age was not very old and he did not have much experience in lying, otherwise it would not be so obvious.
But before he could say anything, another half-elf tugged at his sleeve and coughed dryly , "Sorry, Brother Levi, in fact, in addition to what he said, there is another reason. An old human wizard is trapped in a hidden valley somewhere."
"These greenskins were originally chasing him. We received that mission by coincidence. The purpose was to disperse the greenskins' forces and take the opportunity to rescue him."
"It's just that we are too weak. These greenskins charged head-on and dispersed us. Our mission failed because of this. But if you, Brother Levi, rush over now, maybe he can still be saved?"
The other half-elf was also a little embarrassed, but he finally agreed, "Sorry, Brother Levi, I just said the wrong thing. You should go over there and take a look. Maybe he is not dead yet."
As he spoke, he also took the initiative to share with Levi the information about a failed mission, and took out his map to show Levi the location of the valley he mentioned.
This kind of map is a relatively basic magic prop. Its effect can be automatically expanded as the chosen heroes continue to explore more areas. It can also display different terrains more clearly, such as mountains, lakes, bridges, etc.
You can also add a lot of notes on it by yourself, and even different maps can complete each other by sharing information. It can be said to be a very useful gadget, and the price is very cheap. Levi and Donna each have one.
Levi then understood that it was a mission. No wonder the greenskins appeared here.
After copying the opponent's map information and asking carefully, he learned that there were even fewer greenskins left in the valley, only about thirty greenskins, half of which were level 2 greenskin archers, posing a greater threat to the old wizard.
He nodded to the two half-elves, then took out a few weapons and equipment that he didn't think much of but should be good enough for newcomers and threw them over.
"Thank you very much. I will rush there as soon as possible. These pieces of equipment will be my thank you fee."
Having said this, he also signaled his subordinates to act as quickly as possible. The sooner they got to their destination, the higher the chances of the old wizard's survival would be.
And to be honest, these greenskins are so poor that they don't even use copper or silver coins as currency. They use the teeth of various ferocious beasts for daily transactions within their race.
Although this thing can be sold in the village, it really can't be sold for much. At most, it will be recycled by the grocery store, and then it may be made into arrowheads, but the price is very low, so it doesn't matter whether you pick it up or not.
No matter what the original mood of the two half-elves was, there was only joy on their faces now. Although the mission had failed and the militiamen were almost all dead, these few weapons and equipment were definitely worth several militiamen!
Seeing Levi and the others moving very quickly, one of the half-elves couldn't help but shout at their backs: "Boss Levi, my name is Charlie, thank you so much!"
Levi waved his hand and didn't take it seriously. He gave the other party that thing on the one hand to express his gratitude, and on the other hand he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Newcomers should hang around the Novice Village. Coming here is just looking for death.
Besides, he already has more than 200 people in his friend list, so having one more or one less ordinary friend doesn’t really matter.
On the way, Levi also took the time to communicate with the Arion cavalry. Then he learned that there were actually two reasons why the other party was so eager to go into battle in person to kill those greenskins.
On the one hand, it was because they had heard that the green-skinned Red Cloud tribe on the border had captured some small half-elf villages and launched a massacre, and there was a blood feud between the two sides.
Although these high elves are all pure-blooded, there are always some real high elves among the parents of those half-elves.
Moreover, because the high elves have a long lifespan, unless they die in battle, it is easy for them to live to a thousand years old. Therefore, many of these high elves who look to be in their twenties or thirties have blood relations with those dead half-elves. Some of them have even witnessed those villages being built from scratch, and watched them being destroyed by the greenskins.
This hatred is enormous.
The second reason is the special character of the entire race of high elves.
First of all, they value martial arts. All high elves value martial arts, and their long lifespan also gives them enough time to train, so any adult pure-blooded high elf will not be lower than level 2.
At the same time, their racial talent for martial arts seems to be the most direct manifestation of this characteristic. They will not return until their swords are unsheathed and blood is seen!
Next is the emphasis on honor. Because of their long lifespan, excellent appearance, highly developed civilization, extremely advanced magic, world-class forging technology... and other reasons, after countless years, the high elves have attached great importance to the honor of themselves and their race.
Once honor is insulted, it often has to be washed away with the blood and lives of the enemy.
A more rational wizard or high-ranking general might be able to restrain this almost instinctive impulse to a certain extent due to some deeper considerations, but these Arion cavalrymen came from the country of mount and blade, one of the ten kingdoms of the High Elves. They certainly did not want to restrain themselves, not to mention that the other side was the crude and stupid greenskins whom they completely despised, and they had a blood feud with them.
Of course, because they were temporarily obeying Levi's orders, as qualified soldiers, they would first choose to obey the general's orders, so they did not act impulsively before.
Now judging from the results, all the greenskins are dead, so they won’t have any objections to this.
After listening to this, Levi just kept calling out "Wow!", because to some extent, these seemingly noble and elegant high elves were the same as those hot-tempered dwarves, in that they could not stand humiliation!
Many people have shared on the forum how to anger a dwarf as quickly as possible.
First, question his abilities of drinking, mining, or forging, which are what dwarves are most proud of;
Second, call him a dwarf;
Third, he looked like a goblin or a Skaven.
If you choose the first option, you still have some chance of recovery as long as you are better than him in this aspect.
If it is the second one, then you can basically prepare your coffin, because even if you defeat the dwarf in front of you, his brothers, uncles, and even dwarves of his grandfather's generation will jump out to seek revenge on you.
Even if you kill their entire family, they will record you in a small book called the Book of Hatred before they die, waiting for other dwarves to avenge them. And someone will definitely do so, because you have not only insulted him and his family, but also their entire race.
If it's the third one, you might find it difficult to find an intact body. Even the subordinates of the God-chosen hero will most likely choose to rush forward after being insulted by the enemy. This is an instinct engraved in their blood.
