After bidding farewell to Fei Shi, Li Wei slightly changed his route and decided to march on the plains as normal.
In this way, they immediately no longer had to deal with those disgusting murlocs, but they soon attracted the attention of demons. First, there were a few small groups of first-order quasai demons serving as scouts and vanguards, and then at least sixty or seventy demons.
The demon raiding party roared in.
There are many level 3 or even level 4 demons among them, which are definitely powerful enemies for ordinary heroes chosen by God, but for Li Wei and the others, it is nothing more than a matter of a few rounds of arrows.
Levi also took the time to experiment with the two newly obtained level 1 magics. How can I say that when dealing with these demons, the performance was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Because many demons not only have strong fire resistance, they also have high resistance to water and darkness. In addition, the attack limit of level 1 magic is not high, so the actual damage it can cause is very small.
Even more pitiful.
Often, Levi's water arrow can cause over 10 points of damage to the opponent. The price-performance ratio is far different from that of magic missiles.
In comparison, Shark Ghost Bite may be better, because in addition to causing slightly higher damage and looking quite majestic, it also has a chance of causing bleeding effects on the enemy. Of course, it is only a little better.
However, they were only level 1 magic in the first place. Li Wei didn't have high expectations, so naturally he wouldn't be much disappointed.
But despite this, because the long-range shooters are powerful enough, and the witch Tiva also uses magic assistance very frequently, the number of demons that can actually rush in front of them is often less than one in ten.
If you encounter a slightly weaker demon raiding team, the battle will be completely over without the need for close combat troops such as Zhou Miyin and Simon to take action.
It's just that although this makes them feel a little relaxed, it is also a little helpless, because if they cannot participate in battles frequently, they will naturally not become stronger as soon as possible.
On the contrary, the witch Tiva seemed very happy. Although in the previous battle with the sahuagin, the jackals under her command suffered heavy losses, and they were often the first to suffer casualties in the subsequent battles. It is estimated that there will be more casualties in the next few battles.
This time, they were almost all dead, but she didn't particularly care anymore.
Not only because she could sense that her camp was slowly but surely shifting towards absolute neutrality as she continued to fight demons, but also because Levi had just given her a book of Water Arrows.
With just one click, the entire principle and structure of magic was already clear to her mind. This was a treatment she had never enjoyed before.
Because of this, she worked harder and harder in the following battles and began to frequently use auxiliary magic such as body protection stone skin. It seemed that she wanted to win the favor of Li Wei and others so that a similar opportunity would appear next time.
time, they could think of her.
This scene made Levi a little funny, but at the same time he sighed a little. After all, he was a heroic unit. How could he be so humble?
It can only be said that she was probably deceived by the race she came from. After all, although the jackals have a person in their name, they are more like beasts that drink blood and have no magical heritage at all.
But for him, this is a good phenomenon, because it means that his success rate in recruiting opponents will increase further.
No, maybe the heat is almost there now. The only thing missing is a village of his own, right?
Whether it is the old mage, the witch Greta of the bee tribe, or the witch Tiva in front of them, they all seem to have a special obsession with the village. They probably all believe that only a village that belongs to them can be regarded as ownership.
With a stable rear area, maybe I should really speed up my actions.
Thinking like this, Li Wei and the others followed the instructions on the map and headed to the village where they could stay, intending to replenish consumables and inquire about the surrounding intelligence. If they could find some clues in the tavern and recruit some rare troops,
That would be even more perfect.
But when they actually arrived, they found that they seemed to have arrived too late, because there was no village there anymore, replaced by burning ruins.
Just where they could see, there were at least four to five hundred demons dancing in the flames, looking extremely excited. Moreover, the vague magic fluctuations and a huge magic circle seemed to indicate that they were holding some kind of sacrifice.
Sacrifice ceremony.
As for the original residents here, the fate can be imagined. If they had not escaped in advance, they would have all been killed.
This is the most hateful thing about demons, because they never think about conquest, but slaughter and destruction.
The only good thing is that because they were so far away they could see the light of fire here, so Li Wei and the others sneaked along the forest and were not noticed by the enemy for the time being. Whether they were fighting or escaping, they all had
A certain amount of initiative.
Donna and other subordinates, as well as the witch Tiva, all looked at Levi, waiting for his order.
Levi looked at the enemies in front with a slight frown, not only because the terrain was not conducive to their fighting, but also because he found that these demons were slightly different from the types they had fought before, and they were more difficult to deal with.
The most obvious thing is that the opponent's cannon fodder troops are no longer lemures or babu demons, but replaced by a group of short, fat men with a height of one meter and bloated bodies - original demons.
They have pale skin and flesh of the same color, and even Levi can clearly see some twisted maggots in the wound of the primal demon closest to him.
Even for demons, this is not particularly common. Usually only those who have undead characteristics will behave like this.
Although the original demons are all level 1 cannon fodder, with short hands and short legs, and the only attack method is claws, but after killing them, their corpses will explode directly on the spot, and the broken flesh and internal organs will make enemies in a small area stunned.
Hence the poisoning.
Although this kind of attack is not very powerful, it is a skill that every original demon has, and they are really disgusting, and the blow to morale is often higher than the damage they can cause.
Then there are the second-level Slayer Demons and Ape Demons, probably less than fifty Gog and Magog who use fireballs as weapons, about thirty Cerberus, and forty or fifty others. Although the level is not low, their strength is not very good.
The Horned Demon and the Horned Demon Warlord.
They are all old acquaintances of Li Wei. Li Wei is not to say that he is fully aware of their many weaknesses, but after seizing the first move, he is still confident that he can successfully annihilate them without paying too much of a price.
other side.
What really gave him a headache was the last kind of demon.
At first glance, they look like centaurs. They have the upper body of a human and the lower body of an horse. They also use spears as weapons, and are also very good at charging and spearmanship. Even their name is directly the Cavalry Demon.
But the difference is that they have thick demon horns, as pale and decaying bodies as the original demons, and most importantly, they have the ability to fly briefly in the air!
The survivability of the Antler Users, who are both at level 4 and can use limited holy healing spells, is indeed far superior to their opponents, but in terms of charge power alone, they cannot keep up with the Iron Cavalry Demon.
Although there are less than 20 of them in total, once they launch a successful aerial charge, Levi's team cannot be solved by reducing the number of three or five people.
Once the opponent successfully breaks into the archer troops, the impact will be even greater. Without the suppression of arrows, one's own melee troops will never be able to defeat the opponent.
Under many chain reactions, it is not completely impossible for his side to be defeated by a wave of charges. After all, Li Wei knows his own family affairs, and he relies heavily on the continuous long-range shooting of Donna and others.
Moreover, facing a powerful flying demon like the Cavalry Demon, with his current strength, there is really no more effective way to fight except using the lives of his subordinates and summons to fight against him.
This is not his pure guess or conjecture, but the blood and tears of at least dozens of God-chosen heroes.
The only good thing was that there were no Quasai Demons among this group of demons. Otherwise, if two flying enemies attacked together, he would not have any chance of trying.
But despite this, after careful observation for a while, he finally did not order an attack. Instead, he asked his subordinates to continue to lurk carefully. At the same time, he also asked Donna and others to help him find these demons, especially the leader of the iron cavalry demons.
Not to mention, Donna quickly discovered several suspicious targets with her advantage in vision.
Two guys shrouded in black robes, suspected to be legal units, and a fully armed man wearing a ferocious iron armor full of mysterious runes. In addition to the bloody spear in his hand, there are javelins and bows and arrows behind his back.
The leader of the cavalry demon.
Even if he has never fought against it, looking at the opponent's appearance, he must be at least a level 5 or elite unit. Even if it is a heroic unit, Levi will not feel particularly strange. After all, its equipment
They are obviously possessed by demons.
And those two men in black robes looked familiar to Li Wei. Could they be the fly demons they had killed before? They seemed to be performing some kind of sacrifice and summoning ceremony.
Just as he was thinking this, the next moment, a fiery red portal was opened, and a dozen cavalry demons and dozens of red fire-breathing hellhounds filed out, directly confirming his guess, and at the same time also
This completely dispelled his idea.
We didn't have any confidence at first, but now the enemy has reinforcements, so why fight?
And because the chosen heroes who choose demons and demons are too rare, there is almost no information about the sacrificial ceremony on the forum. No one knows whether this will be the only reinforcement from the opponent!
So he immediately ordered his subordinates to withdraw their troops. If he didn't leave quickly, he would be too passive when these demons discovered his side.
Not to mention anything else, if Gog and Magog throw a few fireballs casually, and every time the Fire Breath Cerberus breathes flames, he and all his subordinates will be turned into charcoal along with the forest.
And even if it's a battle on the ground, no matter whether you can win or not, unless the opponent makes a serious mistake, your side will definitely suffer heavy losses. He has just walked about a quarter of the distance, and he doesn't want to return now.
Replenish troops.
Fortunately, these demons did not have any scouts to speak of, nor did they have any flying scouts called Quasai Demons. Moreover, they all seemed to be enjoying the joy of massacre and sacrifice, so Li Wei and the others successfully withdrew some distance away.
But before they could leave completely, a series of horse hooves suddenly sounded from the north, and then the ground trembled slightly, and smoke and dust began to rise.
Levi's heart suddenly became tense, not only because the force to which the visitor belonged was not yet clear, but they were likely to be directly blocked from retreating. More importantly, this unabashed movement would even arouse the anger of those demons.
attention.
If they unfortunately encounter a flanking attack from both sides, it will be an unprecedented danger for them!
Sure enough, when he turned back quickly, he found several cavalry demons rising into the air in the distance and flying directly towards their direction.
Li Wei immediately gave a direct order: "Quick, prepare the entire army for war and prepare to turn. We must not be attacked by both sides here. Tiwa, prepare for the quicksand trap!"
Before he finished speaking, with a series of flapping sounds of wings, Sam and the other halflings had already rushed back. Seeing his slightly excited expression, Levi breathed a sigh of relief. At least this should mean a good thing.
As expected, Sam soon said very happily: "Sir, the reinforcements from the high elves have arrived!"
"How many are there? How strong is it?"
"There are about a hundred people, among whom there are about thirty or forty Airion Marauders, and the rest are all Lothern Ocean Guards!"
"Is this so"
Levi still frowned a little, because neither this number nor the opponent's strength was lower than his expectations. The Erion Marauders were all mounted-shooting units, and they could harass, but they couldn't fight tough battles.
The overall strength of the Lothern Ocean Guards is pretty good, but what can only fifty or sixty of them do?
If he were not here, these high elves would have only two choices, run away directly, or launch a brave charge and then be wiped out by the opponent!
Now that the two parties have joined forces, they can barely give it a try, but the risk is also very high. It also depends on whether the high elves who have come over are willing to cooperate.
Thinking of this, Levi directly ordered his subordinates to set up formations in the direction of the demons. He summoned many summoned creatures, and also asked the witch Tiva to help cast stone skin and quicksand traps.
The flying speed of the cavalry demons is too fast. Now that they have been discovered, you must at least kill them first, and then decide whether to fight or flee!
