Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 89: Disgusting Troll
When the flaming arrows hit their bodies one after another, the trolls, who were originally drooling, were suddenly shocked. They didn't even care about the delicious food in the pot in front of them. They all roared like wild boars and jumped up to look for suspicious enemies in all directions.
Some trolls even rolled on the ground, as if they were afraid of being set on fire by the rockets.
As soon as he saw their actions, Levi knew that although they behaved very stupidly, the instincts of these trolls should not be underestimated. They knew their weaknesses and how to deal with them, so they were somewhat intelligent.
But in a moment, Levi began to doubt his judgment.
Because after discovering Levi and the others, these trolls, without exception, all had their eyes shining and their saliva began to flow more and more.
“Human!”
"Meat, delicious meat!"
"Eat meat, eat meat!"
While shouting like this, seven or eight trolls either picked up a broken wooden stick from the ground or simply rushed towards Levi and the others with empty hands.
Levi couldn't help but shake his head slightly. If they were really intelligent, they should also know how to judge the situation. If they were really stupid, they would not be so reckless to attack enemies that far outnumbered them, because even animals have instincts and know how to judge the situation.
But it was precisely this half-stupid and chaotic brain that made them make the most wrong choice.
However, their talents are indeed extraordinary. That thick skin that looks like it's full of filth can actually protect them from a lot of damage. As a Tier 3 soldier, their defense is terribly strong.
Except for Donna, both the level 2 half-elf longbowmen and the level 1 half-elf hunters could only cause single-digit damage to the opponent, and this was because their arrows were all equipped with the effect of burning arrows.
Levi even saw a troll that was previously shot by Donna. After the arrow was pulled out, its wound began to shrink and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. This is the most terrifying talent of the trolls - the ability to heal themselves!
Even the blazing rockets could only suppress their talents temporarily, but could not completely offset them. After all, the flames on the arrows with the Burning Arrow Technique would quickly go out after being shot out.
And based on Levi's current level, he can only enchant a maximum of 10 arrows at a time, and there are not many rockets available in total.
Although they are stupid, they have exchanged wisdom for strength.
As they got closer, even while riding on horseback, Levi could feel the ground vibrating slightly.
There are only less than ten trolls, yet they are so powerful?
Levi couldn't help but become more cautious when he saw this. He immediately ordered, "Donna, concentrate your fire and kill the outermost trolls first. I will also let the small fire elements suppress their self-healing ability."
"Zhou Miyin, command the spearmen to form a formation and focus on defense!"
“Cindy, Simon, take the swordsmen and other melee troops as the second layer, don’t let the enemy get close to the ranged troops!”
Having said this, he first summoned an ordinary tier 2 Water Sub-Sky, and then cast his auxiliary magic again, this time targeting the Flame War Goose.
Since its large size can easily attract the enemy's attention, let it attract more of them!
"good!"
"Yes, sir, all the spearmen are here, line up!"
Following Zhou Miyin's shout, the spearmen responded one after another, placing the ends of their spears against the ground and pointing the tips of their spears diagonally forward. In this state, their skills in resisting charges could produce the best results.
"Okay, Brother Levi!"
The big loli Cindy also felt her blood boiling for a moment. She also responded to the shout and summoned a translucent war hammer that was floating beside her.
The swordsman Simon, the son of Sigmar, said nothing , but just silently guarded Cindy. Levi also approved of his behavior. After all, although Cindy has excellent talent, her current strength is not strong, and she also needs someone to watch over her and help her.
Simon, who holds a sword and shield, has both offensive and defensive capabilities, has level 3 strength, and obviously cares about her very much, is the best candidate.
“Ahhhh!”
While making bestial roars, the trolls charged forward, but under the concentrated shooting of Donna and others, two trolls fell to the ground one after another on the way, their bodies full of arrows, becoming like porcupines.
At this time, under Levi's command, the small fire element, which was in a full state of enhancement, had already pounced from the side at the first opportunity.
Its blurry hands pressed slightly, and the first troll twitched suddenly. A number "-3" appeared above its head, and then it became completely motionless, and no damage numbers appeared anymore.
Normally, the ignition effect of the small fire element should cause 5 points of damage in 3 seconds, but this is the case now. It not only shows that the troll's fire resistance must be negative, but also shows that it is really dead this time!
At the same time, the other trolls avoided the small fire element from a distance, as if they were afraid of being ignited.
Obviously, they could kill it with just two blows of their sticks, but they had no intention of saving their companions and would rather go around it. It was obvious that the fear of fire was ingrained in them.
But after all, the distance between the two sides was not far, so the troll who rushed forward the fastest quickly hit the small earth elemental on the head with a stick.
Even the small earth element, which was known for its strength and defense, was knocked back two steps, and its health points dropped sharply.
"-19!"
Levi narrowed his eyes immediately. Just by looking at this attack, he knew that the Earth Protection of the small earth element was ineffective against the trolls. Their attack methods were all blunt attacks, and their attack power was quite high, nearly 30 points.
After being blessed by his attributes, the small earth element only has close to 100 health points. Even with the blessing of the mage armor, it can only withstand 4 more attacks like this. Ordinary half-elves can only withstand two. After all, they have no BUFF!
At this time, other trolls also rushed over with roars. Their three-meter-tall bodies and ugly faces made them extremely deterrent. And it turned out that they were really powerful. In almost the first encounter, five or six spearmen were directly repelled and knocked several meters away.
Their carefully arranged gun formations were completely vulnerable to the enemy's powerful brute force, and their skills in resisting charges were almost ineffective, because their weapons were knocked away by the tall and long-armed trolls before they even touched the opponent.
And it seems that these trolls must have additional strength bonuses, which gives them powerful array-breaking capabilities.
But fortunately they were not alone. Cindy and Simon led the swordsmen behind them and rushed forward. Zhou Miyin also shouted: "Stab!"
Following his shout, the remaining spearmen subconsciously chose to follow, and more than a dozen shining spears stabbed forward at the same time.
Unfortunately, even with the ability to resist charges, the damage they cause to the trolls is still pitiful.
The only one who stood out a little was probably Zhou Miyin. He was the strongest and best-equipped among all the spearmen, and he also possessed the skills of resisting charges and countering large attacks. His damage to the trolls barely broke through the single digits.
At this time, Cindy had also finished releasing her divine magic and rushed forward with the psychic hammer.
The damage she causes is no different from that of ordinary spearmen, but the attack of the psychic hammer is real. It is said to be 8 points of attack, and each hit can cause 8 points of damage. It ignores physical defense, and the damage is not discounted at all!
At this time, Levi also finished casting the spell again. Two level 1 summoned monsters and level 2 water sub-kong rushed up together. Levi had no other requirements for them, as long as he could delay time.
At this moment, there was a "puff" sound, and a light green gas came out from behind the ogre. Even though he didn't smell any odor at all, Levi still subconsciously covered his mouth and nose.
He finally understood why Donna looked so painful when she mentioned the trolls. These damn guys were really good at playing tricks!
Then, as if a chain reaction was triggered, several trolls in the surrounding area used the same move at the same time. Caught off guard, Zhou Miyin and others who were nearby turned green on the spot. Although this thing did not cause any injuries to them, the damage to their hearts was extremely serious!
Only Simon, the swordsman and son of Sigmar, seemed to have seen trolls before, so he raised his shield immediately and protected the big loli Cindy to move towards the wind vent, and barely escaped.
Levi immediately ordered the small fire element and the Flame Goose, which had used the Flame Burst skill, to detour from the side.
Although there is a huge difference in their fighting power, the trolls' reaction after seeing them is exactly the same, which is to avoid them as much as possible.
In order to avoid them, the trolls no longer cared about the human flesh in front of them, and even ignored the stabs of the spearmen. They just kept dodging and didn't want to fight them at all.
Originally there were only seven or eight of them in total, and two of them were killed by Donna and her team on the way. After being dispersed, their numbers became even smaller, and they had no intention of breaking through Zhou Miyin and her team's gun formation.
At the same time, the flames surrounding them quickly burned away the green, lingering, disgusting gas.
Zhou Miyin and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they immediately launched a fierce attack on the trolls . If they didn't want to suffer the same fate again, they had to kill these disgusting guys as soon as possible!
Then Levi issued a series of orders, carrying out high-intensity command continuously, asking subordinates in relatively good condition to replace the injured subordinates. If they could not be replaced, he would let the small fire elements drive them away to save their lives.
But despite this, because the trolls' attack power was indeed very strong, when the battle was over, five unlucky half-elves were still beaten to death.
As low-level soldiers that can be hired in the Novice Village, they are too vulnerable in front of the Tier 3 soldiers. The trolls can kill them with just two hits.
When the trolls broke into the spearmen's position, even though they were larger and more obvious targets, it was still difficult for ordinary half-elf hunters to aim at them, and even harder to hit them.
There is no way. Although some magic spells do not cause friendly fire, when launching physical attacks, no matter whether it is a spear, a dagger, or a bow and a crossbow, as long as it hits, you will really get hurt.
At the same time, the system once again gave a mediocre evaluation.
The one who made the greatest contribution was undoubtedly Donna. She was the strongest in the team, and with the terrain bonus from the Ranger's special skill, it was no surprise that she won the MVP.
Next was Cindy. Although her warhammer caused minimal damage to the troll, her psychic warhammer hit the troll from beginning to end, maximizing the output.
The last one is Zhou Miyin who is on the front line. With his two skills of resisting charge and countering large attacks, his output is quite high.
As for the Flame Goose that looked very majestic and chased the trolls everywhere, it actually did not really deal much damage.
"Haha, I didn't expect that we could deal with these trolls so easily. It's really different with a wizard."
Donna looked a little happy. She had fought with the trolls several times on Paradise Island before, but without the help of the priests, each battle would have lasted a long time.
Even the damage caused to the trolls by some of their weaker peers may not be as fast as the trolls’ self-healing speed.
But Levi frowned. Although it was partly due to the enemy's strong strength, this battle also once again highlighted the weakness of their troops, that is, the melee troops were not strong enough.
If the melee troops can't withstand the opponent's attacks, how can the ranged units output output?
As expected, half-elves are not worthy of reliance. If possible, they should be replaced with real pure-blooded high elves as soon as possible, not only because their equipment and attributes are more luxurious, but also because of their racial talent - martial arts!
Unfortunately, apart from the channel of military merit points, the dozen or so villages of high elves nearby currently only have mercenaries of various races such as half-elves and humans, and there are no high elves available for recruitment.
According to the information Levi had obtained from the natives, the nearest town, Ashridge, where high elves could be recruited, was nearly a hundred miles away from here.
Not to mention that once he goes there it will greatly delay his attack on the jackals in the Rocky Highlands, all kinds of messy monsters on the road will not allow him to reach there smoothly.
Really, if the frequency of Tier 3 troops appearing continues to increase, I might have to consider the use of those military merit points...
Just as he was lost in thought, Sam happily handed him a piece of trophy: "My lord, I found a piece of magic equipment."
Although the appearance of the equipment was very rough and even had a faint stench, after seeing the attributes clearly, Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his original melancholy was slightly alleviated.
Unexpectedly, there were some unexpected surprises. It seems that challenging strong enemies does have its benefits.
Troll Blood Bracelet (Green - Excellent):
Effect 1, health limit +5;
Effect 2: Restore 1 health point every 5 seconds;
Effect 3, Fire Resistance -2.
Requirements for use: Strength 5, Constitution 6.
(This seemingly ordinary bracelet can bring the user a troll-like vitality)
Although the increased value is not high, any equipment that can restore life or magic is a good thing. Unfortunately, its attributes are far less powerful than its simplicity, and it is all bragging.
As for the fire resistance -2, it's not a big deal. If you really encounter an enemy that can use fire attacks, you can just take it off first and put it back on after the fight.
After a little consideration, Levi threw it directly to Zhou Miyin.
As an elite unit, he can wear a piece of magic equipment. Now he is on the front line with a spear. Next time if he encounters an enemy like the troll today, he may have to take the risk first.
Moreover, Zhou Miyin has the background of Zhendan Dynasty. According to some God-chosen heroes on the forum, among the high-level troops of Zhendan Dynasty, there are troops with the prefix of "Heaven", and they really have Heaven.
Not one, but many towns floating in the sky.
Originally, Levi thought that the Zhendan Dynasty was based on the Qin Dynasty. After all, the Dragon Emperor could easily be linked to the First Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
But now it seems that the Zhendan Dynasty may be based on the real Heavenly Court. The potential of Zhou Miyin, a little spearman, may not be worse than that of a pure-blooded high elf. He is certainly worth training.
Zhou Miyin was suddenly a little surprised. In fact, after joining Levi's army, he was somewhat inferior, especially after Cindy and Simon joined, he felt even more powerful pressure. There was no way, the opponent was too strong.
He didn't expect that Lord Levi would take such good care of him. First, he let him personally cross levels and kill a level 3 Chaos Dwarf, allowing him to advance successfully. Then he gave him such precious equipment. He felt that he must fight with all his heart to repay the Lord's respect and grace.
Perhaps, after this period of time, I can go back to the village and ask my brothers in the clan to serve under you?
Anyway, considering the generosity of adults, they will definitely not regret it!
