Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 179 Breaking through the Camp
As soon as Levi and his companions received the news, they rushed to their destination as fast as possible. However, when they actually arrived, they couldn't help but feel a little depressed, knowing that they were still a little slow.
Because there were already several corpses on the ground, they were either corroded by acid or burned by flames, and it seemed that they were attacked by the spit of the evil dragon's descendants.
Simon, with his armor torn and his body covered in blood, was leading the remaining Elion cavalry to fight against the descendants of the evil dragon. Although their horses were faster than the enemy, because their goal was to intercept the enemy and because of the absolute gap in strength between the two sides, they did not dare to fight hard, so the difficulty of this mission increased sharply.
The only thing to be thankful for was that, perhaps because his brain was not working properly or because he was stimulated by the blood and death, the descendant of the evil dragon seemed to have temporarily forgotten what he was going to do. He just kept chasing after them and trying to attack them, so Simon and the others were able to successfully delay the arrival of Levi and others.
Due to the experience of successfully killing the evil dragon's descendants twice, this time it would be relatively simple. However, in order to prevent the opponent from escaping, Levi still spent some time to carry out an outflanking attack and tried various magic one by one.
In the end, he helplessly discovered that even without the magic of the kobold wizard, the evil dragon's descendant's own magic resistance was ridiculously strong.
Apart from using the micro-meteors that do not distinguish between friend and foe, magic missiles, spider web magic, grease magic, or witch Tiva's earth magic have almost no effect on it.
Although the potential and power of the evil dragon's descendant cannot be compared with those of a real dragon, for Levi now, there is not much difference between its scales and real dragon scales, both of which have very high resistance to magic.
Coupled with the sword of law-breaking in its hand, the two wizards, Levi and the witch Tiva, were helpless against it even when they joined forces.
After thinking it over, he believed that next time if he encountered such an enemy alone, there would only be two ways to deal with it.
Either rely on summoned creatures to kill the opponent, or simply choose to run away and challenge again when you are stronger.
If you choose the latter, it is not shameful at all, because according to Levi's current experience, hero units win because of their extremely high growth limit, and they are not particularly powerful in the early stages.
For example, when Donna first met him, a few more level 2 soldiers could have besieged her to death.
But now that she has grown to the point where even dozens of level 2 soldiers are just prey that can be killed in a few minutes with her and two big cats.
Similarly, if the Descendants of the Evil Dragon were a Tier 5 elite unit, a hero of at least Level 8-10 would be able to contend with them in a duel, and the chances of winning were not guaranteed.
If you change to a warrior or thief hero, the equipment and skills are not good enough, and the level required may be even higher.
There is no way. Although the warriors are good in the initial stage, when other professions are able to use special powers such as divine arts and magic, they who only know some martial arts will be much weaker in comparison.
That’s why the saying gradually spread: Heaven is on the left, warriors are on the right.
As for thieves, it is even more obvious. Although they will gain some lethal moves after becoming an official profession at level 5, if they can become assassins or the like, they may pose an extremely powerful threat to fragile magic units in a duel.
But in general, they have never been good at killing monsters.
Fortunately, Levi was not alone this time, so relying on their numbers, they quickly killed the last descendant of the evil dragon. After all, both the melee troops and the Sky Eagle archers possessed passive skills against large-scale attacks, which happened to be the opponent's nemesis.
Simon, who was seriously injured, came to report immediately and expressed his guilt for his improper command, which resulted in the death of many excellent cavalrymen.
Levi also felt a little emotional. In the previous battles, he had never used the Arion cavalry. On the one hand, it was because they did not have the opportunity to perform perfectly most of the time. On the other hand, it was also because he was reluctant to use them.
They were originally Reiner's personal guards, and were assigned to him because of the mission. He had wanted to bring them over to Reiner to see as they were. Everything had been going smoothly before, but he didn't expect that there would be losses here.
However, he did not mean to blame Simon. After all, Simon's judgment was very accurate. If this descendant of the evil dragon was allowed to run back, it would only be more disadvantageous to their side.
If anyone should be blamed, it should be Levi himself. If he had equipped the enemy with dozens more horse thieves, the Arion cavalry would not have suffered such losses.
So after comforting them for a few words, he asked Cindy and the bard to give them emergency treatment, because the battle was not over yet.
Soon the follow-up troops followed. Because of Levi's urgent order, they did not even chase the remaining kobolds. They just drove most of the enemies away to ensure that they would not come back to cause trouble. Some of the kobolds even ran towards the kobold camp under their deliberate guidance.
Witch Tiwa was very confused at first, because if the enemy ran back, wouldn't the subsequent battle be more difficult?
It was just that she was already very impressed by the strength Levi displayed in this battle, so she decided to speak less until she fully understood it.
Then she soon understood that all the fleeing kobolds, although full of panic, did not rush into the camp together, but chose to enter one by one along several extremely narrow paths.
Although she had never been here before, she immediately knew that there must be a large number of traps outside the camp, which was why these gnolls became so well-behaved.
But Levi couldn't help but frown. After not seeing them for a while, he realized that these gnolls were really diligent. They had set up so many traps and only left a few narrow paths. Even if he had memorized the roads, they would not be enough for the attack!
Besides, it is not realistic to ask Sam to dismantle the trap. He may not be able to finish it even if he works until dark!
Seeing that the large army was ready for battle, he simply began to use magic again. Since this road was blocked, he would use magic to forcibly open up a path!
A few seconds later, micro-meteors fell from the sky, causing the ground to shake slightly and breaking part of the trap set by the kobolds.
Not to mention this lowest-level manual trap, even most magic traps would be forcibly activated by the power of micrometeors.
After two consecutive spells and twelve micrometeors, the land in front became bumpy and even half of the fence was blown down. While a considerable number of traps were removed, at least two or three hundred gnolls, less than ten dragon warriors, and two or three teams of poisonous lizardmen were revealed.
Levi didn't feel surprised at all. Gnolls are cunning and timid creatures. They will only fight when they have the advantage in numbers and strength.
He had just demonstrated the power of magic. If there were no dragon people supervising the battle, it would not be uncommon for half of the ogres present to choose to flee.
However, it is too naive to think that you can stop us with just this little bit of power!
"Infantry, hold the line. Donna, get ready to start shooting. I want to see if they can withstand our attack!"
As he spoke, Levi began to cast spells again. Now that there was no fence to hinder him, he and the ranged troops could directly attack the ogres in the camp. With just three or five rounds, even with dragon warriors supervising the battle, those ogres would definitely collapse completely!
"Don't worry, just leave it to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the first wave of arrow rain had covered dozens of poisonous lizardmen. There was no suspense at all, they were all killed on the spot.
The Sky Eagle Archers can perform well when dealing with Dragon Warriors, and they are even more adept when dealing with these miscellaneous soldiers who are no more than level 2. As long as they are hit by two arrows at the same time, they will definitely die!
After two waves of arrow rain, Levi also successfully released micro meteors. With several loud bangs, while bringing huge psychological pressure to the dog-headed people, he also killed at least twenty of them on the spot.
As for those who were affected, even if they did not die immediately, almost all of them were seriously injured. With his current strength, and using level 3 magic to deal with these miscellaneous soldiers, it was simply too cool.
Now the dragon warriors could no longer sit still. Although their intelligence was not very high, as long as they were not fools, they could see the current situation.
If they don't make changes immediately, they will be killed at no cost by the enemy in a few minutes!
So they rushed out roaring and slammed into the solid line formed by the Jade Warriors, Spartans and Silver Guards, and until they died in the battle, they were unable to truly shake their defense.
Although their average strength is better, their numbers are too small after all.
Once the dragon warriors died, the threat posed by the enemy was greatly reduced. For a moment, many summoned creatures, led by the three big cats, took the initiative to attack the camp, and even Levi rushed in.
To be honest, he still felt a little emotional. His original purpose this time was very simple. He just wanted to lure out a few dragon people and add some warrior equipment to Zhou Miyin and others. If he could take advantage of the ogre wizard, it would be even better.
But he never expected that the other party would be so reckless and rush out to confront him head-on.
I don't know if it's because it has killed many God-chosen heroes in recent days, repelled several attacks from demons, and has dragon warriors and descendants of evil dragons as guards, so its self-confidence has swelled so much?
But no matter what, it has paid a heavy price for its impulsiveness and arrogance, which is death, and now it is time for it to reap the rewards !
With the experience of coming here last time, Levi ran directly to the door of the kobold warehouse this time. In order to deal with possible treasure chests, he even called Sam back in advance.
As for Donna, Cindy, Zhou Miyin and others, they were busy clearing out the remaining ogres in the camp. Not only did they want to further reduce the risk, but they also wanted to search the place thoroughly. After seeing the development of the camp clearly, Levi had a rather bold guess.
Although it is called the Gnoll Camp, in a sense, this place is not much different from an ordinary village!
Witch Tiwa hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not make any excessive requests, because now she was essentially just hiring Li Wei to protect her and had no rights at all.
As for the last Chen Zhui, he is even smarter. Even if he originally had some little thoughts, he has now completely thrown those useless thoughts out of the window.
He has only one goal right now, which is to sneak through the territory of the high elves, then head to the Longfang Road, and finally reach the Cathay Dynasty, so he naturally won't cause any more trouble.
Before entering the warehouse, Levi called the Wolf Patrol and the Mastiff-Headed Yakongs as guards to prevent any ambushing enemies inside. He also specifically reminded them that it was best to hold their breath or simply find something to cover their mouths and noses.
They were a little confused at first, and one Wolf Patrol even patted his chest and said that there was no problem. But when they actually pushed open the door, they immediately understood why Levi said that.
Because as far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of corpses.
Some of them are very fresh, but quite a few of them have already rotted and smelled bad. It seems that they did not die at the same time, so the smell is really a torture for them who generally have a keen sense of smell.
But despite the torture, they did not forget their mission and immediately began to search the entire warehouse thoroughly to make sure there were no enemies and to find the more valuable items.
Although he had expected this, when he really saw the appearance of these corpses, Levi couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because among them there were not only the cavemen and rat-like goblins he had seen last time, but also two new races.
The first type is some guys who look like mushroom spirits. They have hands and feet, and a huge mushroom cap as a head, which looks similar to the hat Janet is wearing.
But unlike other humanoid creatures, they have no other facial features except eyes, and they don’t even have faces.
They are myconids, a humanoid race unique to the Underdark. They are not very strong in combat and have relatively peaceful personalities. Apart from taking care of their own fungal crops, they seem to have nothing else to do.
I just don't know how I offended these dragon people and dog-headed people, and ended up turning into a corpse. Could it be that these dog-headed people also pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables?
The other type has long pale hair, inky skin, pointed ears and red eyes. They are the undisputed dominant race in the Underdark - the drow.
Many people are confused about the difference between Dark Elves and Drow Elves, but in fact, it is very easy to distinguish them just by looking at their appearance.
True Dark Elves and High Elves are almost identical in appearance, which is why there have been many cases in history of Dark Elf spies infiltrating among the High Elves and even achieving high status among them.
If we had to nitpick, it would probably be that the area they live in is relatively cold and harsh, so the quality of their skin is slightly worse, but in a world with magic and divine powers, this is not a problem at all.
They are called dark elves, on the one hand to distinguish them from the high elves, and on the other hand because of their hearts and their evil ways.
Moreover, the Dark Elves are a lawful evil race. Their black arks and pirate armies are rampant in the world . Almost all races with coastlines hate them but are helpless against them. They have many lords, and nominally belong to the commander-in-chief, the Witch King Malekith.
But the drow elves are a race hiding in the Underdark, fighting each other. Almost each of their cities is an independent force. Their individual abilities may not be bad, but their ability to launch large-scale wars is far inferior to that of the dark elves.
But no matter what, the fighting power of the elves is not comparable to that of ordinary ogres. More importantly , they have organization and sociality. Once they are provoked, there will often be continuous revenge and vendettas. Therefore, unless necessary, other races do not want to provoke the elves.
Now there are at least fifty or sixty corpses of drow elves appearing here at once, which makes Levi unable to help but have more speculations.
Could it be that the drow elves discovered the secret of the kobolds and the black dragon behind the Snake Cult, so they killed them to silence them?
