Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 134: Seeds of Rebellion
Although the number of the Elion cavalry seemed insignificant when facing the hundreds of remaining enemies, the power of their charge was extremely strong due to the blessing of many enhancement states.
Ordinary coyotes and hyenas will all be killed instantly. Although the stronger jackals will not be killed instantly, they will either be lifted high up by the cavalry's spears and then smashed to the ground heavily, or be directly hit by the oncoming war horses and cause blood to spurt from their noses and mouths.
They had already gathered their strength for a long time, and now formed a small triangular formation, with many spears pointing directly in the direction of the witch Tiwa. For a moment, they looked aggressive and their purpose was extremely obvious.
At the same time, Donna also cooperated with the long-range troops, using rain of arrows to clear the way for them.
Levi also used several summoning magics in succession, causing many summoned creatures to rush over together. At the same time, many melee troops also launched counterattacks. The gnolls, who were already somewhat defeated, suddenly fell into a clear disadvantage. Even though most of them were vicious guys, some deserters finally began to appear.
Seeing this, the witch Tiwa became more cautious, but although she was shocked, she did not panic. While retreating, she called for many troops to come back for protection, and kept using quicksand traps around her.
As her only two magic skills, she believed that even if the enemy was the high elf cavalry, once they stepped into the trap, they would definitely not be able to escape successfully in a short period of time.
But when most of the remaining troops returned, before she could lead her troops to retreat a few hundred meters, she was shocked to find that the cavalry did not continue to charge forward, but instead turned around and charged at the jackals who had already begun to flee.
Then the enemies in the distance seemed to have changed their battle strategy. They were retreating quickly in another direction. Although I didn’t know what had happened, it was obvious that I seemed to have been deceived!
The witch Tiwa was filled with resentment. Although she had been specializing in the Eagle Eye technique for many years and had rarely commanded large-scale battles, she was tricked by a hero chosen by an alien race. She couldn't swallow this humiliation!
But after hesitating for a while, she finally chose not to pursue, because apart from wasting some magic points, she didn't suffer any losses. The guys who were killed were all Hogg's men, and few of her confidants were even injured because they had not participated in the battle from beginning to end.
At this time, Chen Zhui of the Last World appeared out of nowhere and said, "My Lady Witch, that God-chosen hero is still there. Should we give chase?"
Although most of the troops were retreating quickly, from a distance, there were still a dozen figures lingering on the hillside. They were the main enemy this time.
His question only made the witch Tiwa more determined. She rejected the idea immediately and said, "No, since you know he is God's chosen hero, you certainly know how afraid he is of death. Now he is obviously trying to seduce us. I can't be fooled!"
Although he felt a little regretful, Chen Zui of the End Times also nodded. It was indeed that the other party's actions were too obvious. Although he didn't know where the other party got the confidence from, he decided to let the other party go this time.
Seeing that the other party was not moving, Levi and the Lightforged breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Although if the other party really caught up with them, it would be a rare opportunity for them, but if they could not kill the other party quickly in a short period of time, once they were encountered by the Howling Scavengers on the other side, it would be very disadvantageous for them.
Although this is not the most ideal outcome, it is not bad. Our side has suffered minor casualties in exchange for a large amount of experience points and spoils.
Li Wei raised his leg and stepped onto the glazed jade lion. After thinking for a while, he shouted, "Yes, Witch Tiwa, you are the only intelligent gnoll I have ever seen in the Stone Highlands. You must understand that there is no good end to going against us high elves. Now you are just our God-chosen hero, but tomorrow, our army will be on the border!"
He dug a small pit for the other party. Although it might not be of any use, it didn't cost him anything anyway. But if the other party was really scared and left the rocky highland, then he might have a chance...
The faces of the witch Tiva and the doomsday Chen Zhui turned dark at the same time, but the reasons were different.
Although the witch Tiwa was in a good mood after being praised like this, she soon realized that what the other party said was true. Even though she still couldn't really figure out where Hogg recruited so many soldiers every day, the strength of the high elves was unquestionable.
Once they get really serious, there will be only one outcome for Stoney Heights, Hogg, and even themselves.
And Chen Zhui of the end of the world was also annoyed by what the other party said. What did she mean by she was the only intelligent werewolf? Is my brain worthless too?
But on the surface, she couldn't admit defeat so easily. She gritted her teeth fiercely: "Levi, right? I remember your name. Don't think you can be complacent just because you have taken advantage of me. This is not my real power, nor is it Hogg's real power!"
Levi's heart suddenly moved. What is Hogg's true power? What is it? Is it the purgatory jackal or the real devil?
He simply laughed out loud: "If you guys took out the Infernal Jackals, I might be a little more afraid, but now?"
Witch Tina and Doomsday Chen Zhui were both stunned. Purgatory Jackal?
What is that? There is such a special type of soldier in the Stoney Highlands? It sounds like it has something to do with demons?
They looked at each other subconsciously, and then they both knew that the other person was as confused as they were.
Although Levi couldn't see the other person's expression due to the distance between them, the action of turning his head and the brief silence actually explained something.
He immediately laughed again and said, "It seems that until now, you still don't know about Hogg's cooperation with the demons, and you don't know that they have joined forces to summon the Purgatory Werewolves and invade the main world? Have you never doubted the source of Hogg's troops?"
Although he is still not completely sure whether this was the intention of Hogg himself, or one of his subordinates, or whether a demon was acting in the name of Hogg, it would be right to put the blame first. Anyway, the witch Tiwa would not bring herself to Hogg.
The witch Tina became more and more uneasy after hearing this. Although the jackals are usually in the chaotic evil camp, they eat meat when they see it and fight when there is a fight. When they are forced into a corner, they will even beat and eat their own people . These respects are the same as those of the devil.
But she was in the relatively rare chaotic neutral camp. Because she wanted to learn more magic, she even visited several foreign wizards and learned from them during her wandering. She was deeply influenced by them and even had a tendency to turn towards absolute neutrality.
Although she temporarily joined the Stoney Highlands because of the reward promised by Hogg, the actions of these gnolls had already made her very uncomfortable. Now if Hogg really cooperated with a more evil and more wicked demon, her first thought was to quickly get away from him.
Since ancient times, no matter how powerful a person or how prosperous a race is, once they have anything to do with the devil, they will definitely not have a good ending.
Because the main world is the realm of the gods, they often have frictions with each other and even go to war over the fight for faith and believers. How could they allow demons to invade?
Although there are many races on this continent and each has its own conflicts, overall the order camp headed by humans, high elves, and dwarves is stronger because they have too many gods and their apostles and walkers on land.
However, the many demons and evil gods behind the demons and devils are far away in other dimensions, and it is difficult to really project their power over here. Every time you finally open a portal, as soon as you go out, you will find a bunch of powerful enemies blocking the door!
No matter what, even if cooperating with the devil can bring temporary benefits, there will definitely be no good ending in the end.
High-level demons or devils can often be reborn in the abyss of hell after death and make a comeback soon. The effect is no worse than the power of resurrection or hero altar, but they, the mortals, do not have that power at all.
She chose to help Hogg temporarily because of the reward he promised and because she wanted to improve the status of the gnolls on the continent.
But the other party first expanded massively, directly offending the high elves and humans, and now seems to be cooperating with the devil. Even if it can occupy a large tract of land in the future, what awaits it will surely be endless attacks and encirclements!
Chen Zhui, the Doomsday man standing next to him, also had some thoughts. Although cooperating with the devil could create the Infernal Jackals, which sounded stronger than ordinary Jackals, if he simply wanted to pursue strength, why didn't he just choose to reincarnate as a demon?
And Hogg has not revealed any news to himself or the witch Tiwa until now. This is not good news. With Hogg's brain, it is very likely that he will be used as a gun by others...
At the same time, they both thought at the same time, no wonder Hogg could summon so many gnolls almost endlessly, it turned out that it was connected to the devil...
Although it was just a sentence and there was no evidence, they believed it firmly at this time because the matter was full of doubts from the beginning to the end!
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Levi became more confident. Since the other party hesitated, it meant that internal differences had arisen, and they might even have had similar doubts a long time ago.
"Today is already the seventh day of the regional mission. If the high elves march in force tomorrow, do you think the Stoney Highlands will be able to survive?"
"You have cooperated with the devil. Although the world is big, where will you find a place to stay?"
"Humph, there are other places. It's not just the Stoney Highlands where gnolls exist."
Witch Tina opened her mouth to refute, but anyone could tell that she was somewhat lacking in confidence.
The Werewolf player remained silent because he wanted to hear what the other party had to say. In fact, he had already thought about it. The area of Rocky Highlands was too small and there were enemies everywhere nearby. It was not a place to stay for long.
"Oh, really? Fighting for territory with orcs, or the undead, or the ratmen underground?"
Levi then changed the subject: "Why not find some other direction, or take the opportunity to get some important things first, and then cut off the relationship with the devil as soon as possible."
Since she is a witch who can cast spells, she must have special wisdom and is not an ordinary fool.
Moreover, as a heroic unit, she must have a very high status in Stoney Highlands. Even if the key information related to the devil is hidden, she must know a lot of other things. Similarly, as the strongest wolf-chosen hero in Stoney Highlands, she must know something.
If we can really instigate them to rebel together and launch some joint actions, the gains may not be much less than killing Hogg directly!
Of course, you must also be careful not to be tricked by the other party, after all, both sides are still in a hostile state.
As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Zhui of the End Times, who already had some similar thoughts, even the witch Tina seemed to be moved. Even though her wolf face didn't show much expression, but her eyes were rolling around and her mind was not here, Chen Zhui of the End Times could still see it.
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhui spoke again: "If we leave the Rocky Highlands, do you have any suggestions?"
He had no psychological burden at all about betraying Hogg, but he still needed to find a good place to stay in advance.
The witch Tiwa opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. However, everyone understood her thoughts. This silence itself represented an attitude.
Levi smiled and said, "There are dragon warriors and poisonous lizardmen in the Kobold camp, and I am almost certain that they have obtained the wealth of a giant dragon."
There are many dragon warriors and kobold heroes in the kobold camp, and there may be traces of dragons below. It is a good opportunity to let these two guys go and test it out. Anyway, I didn't lie, I just kept some key information.
As he said this, he took out the gem beetle that he had kept until now and said, "As a witch, you should recognize them, right?"
He originally wanted to use it to make a deal with others and get himself a better magical pet, but unfortunately he hasn't met any suitable target so far.
Witch Tina's eyes flashed, she did recognize it.
Although this kind of bug is very weak, it does not mean that it can be found everywhere. It can even be said to be extremely rare, because they usually only survive in the dragon's treasury, coexisting with gold coins and treasures.
Secondly, it is said that in the great desert in the south, in the treasure houses of the ancient tomb kings who have turned into rotten bones but still remember the glory of their lives, they occasionally exist, but they are too far away from here.
The appearance of this kind of insect often means a large amount of treasure.
Seeing that Witch Tina nodded but still didn't speak, Chen Zhui of the End of the World thought about it secretly and roughly understood what she meant. Did she want him to step forward and be the bad guy?
But he finally chose to speak. Anyway, all the gnolls loyal to Hogg had been killed, so he was not afraid of anything.
"If I want to contact you next time, how should I contact you?"
Seeing that with this delay, his men had almost completely cleared the battlefield, and the Arion cavalry had successfully returned and were guarding him once again.
Li Weicai nodded with great satisfaction: "I will be staying in Maple Leaf Village recently. If you are interested, please come to find me there between 8 and 10 o'clock in the evening. Use the Yakong you summoned as the messenger of communication. I will say hello to them."
Although the other party summoned the Yakons, they did not sign a contract with them, but instead learned it secretly using the Eagle Eye Technique. Their camps are seriously opposed, and the Yakons will definitely not succumb to the other side, but if they ask for it, I believe the Yakons will still be willing to give them this face.
Witch Tina's eyes moved slightly when she heard this. She was surprised and envious for a moment. He could actually influence his summoned creatures. Is this the rich heritage of the high elves?
Chen Zhui of the End of the World did not respond immediately, but fell into a brief thought.
Even though they had just had a fierce conflict with each other and even suffered heavy losses, it would not hurt for them to cooperate if there were greater benefits. After all, for the chosen heroes, this was just a game.
At this time, the Lightforged One, who had been listening from beginning to end without saying anything, couldn't help but wink at Levi. Because he had been alert to his surroundings, he saw Sam, the scout, rushing back in a panic again, which was obviously not a good thing.
At the same time, he also felt a little emotional. Should we say that this is the most realistic game so far, with the highest aboriginal wisdom? It’s okay for the players, as the rewards are in place, and hatred doesn’t really matter, but even the aboriginal heroes can be bewitched by language, this is really...
Levi received this hint, and he immediately said loudly again: "I am very satisfied with today's meeting. I hope I will be more satisfied next time, but remember , there is not much time left for you."
After saying this, without waiting for the other party's reply, he turned around and urged the Glazed Jade Lion to leave quickly under the protection of the Arion cavalry.
He had wasted a lot of time. If he continued, he would probably be caught in a pincer attack by the Howling Scavengers. If other Gnoll hunting parties happened to pass by at this time, no matter how smart the two Gnolls in front of him were, they would probably attack together, and he would be in real trouble.
This time, there were no jackals to stop them, because while the two sides were communicating, Donna was not idle. Those who did not retreat according to the order of the witch Diva, but still dared to attack them, were basically killed. Although the two jackals were somewhat suspicious of their actions, the information they just received was too terrifying, so they didn't want to chase them, but thought about what to do next.
After thinking for a while, Witch Tina looked at the End Times Chen Cone and said, "The high elves regard the gnolls in the Stoney Highlands as enemies."
Chen Zhui of the Last World tried to figure out the other party's thoughts: "But we don't represent the Stoney Highlands, and he doesn't necessarily represent the High Elves."
Witch Tina nodded with satisfaction: "So, he is not necessarily our enemy..."
Chen Zhui, the last of the world, was completely relieved at this moment: "Yes, if there is a giant dragon behind the kobolds, it is very likely to be connected to the Underdark..."
The Underdark is a vast underground world, which is said to be no smaller than the surface world. In fact, it may be even larger because the Underdark has many layers that can be explored continuously downwards.
However, the Underdark has always been too mysterious for the surface races who rely on their eyes to see things.
Apart from the dwarves who dig underground all day long, and the Skaven who are accustomed to living underground, who may have dealings with many races in the Underdark, not much is known about other races.
All we know is that the underground is the territory of major tribes such as the drow, gray dwarves, and Skaven, as well as many smaller tribes and monsters.
However, for the gnolls who are now almost in a desperate situation, it may be a suitable retreat. They also have a certain degree of night vision and even night combat capabilities.
And they don't necessarily have to go there. If they can get rid of the ogres there and obtain the treasure of a dragon, even if it is only a part of it, they can completely get rid of the current situation.
Even considering the dragon's wealth, they are not afraid of not being able to find a protector. The high elves may not be able to be bribed with money, but the human nobles are likely to make an exception and forgive them, right?
"But Hogg and those behind him..."
In the last days, Chen Zhui usually called the other party "sir", but now he changed his words directly.
"Hogg... Humph, it was the one who cooperated with the devil first. If something really happens, it's not our fault. I don't want to be buried with it..."
