The human cavalry led by Bai Xiaowen collided head-on with a dark elf patrol team.
deterrence!
Invisible pressure spread, and the patrol team composed of ordinary dark elf template soldiers fell into a coma or a state of fear.
The three knights, Tim, Marco, and Phil, held their lances, like a sharp arrow, slicing through the dark elf patrol, assassinating the dark elf warriors who were controlled and unable to move, and forcibly cutting a bloody path.
, and walked away.
Although the dark elves regained their mobility midway, the infantry faced off against the cavalry, and when the formation they relied on for survival was disrupted, they were nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen's army was in a hurry to escape and did not hesitate to fight. Otherwise, these more than a hundred dark elf warriors would definitely be annihilated. They watched the cavalry team led by Bai Xiaowen go away, but they could not catch up.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the cavalry around him.
After a day and night of raids, more than 60 of the 100 cavalrymen were left. The remaining men were also covered in blood and their armors were damaged.
The battle loss ratio is close to 40%. If placed in an ordinary army, the morale would probably be shattered.
Although the loss ratio is not small, the results are also quite fruitful.
"The total number of rear strongholds of the Allied Remnants that you have burned is: 8/4. The elite side mission: Surprise Attack on Enemy Behind has been completed, and the completion level is: Excellent."
"Please meet Prince Nicholas or Archbishop Arlo, submit the task and get the reward."
The mission required the destruction of at least four strongholds, and Bai Xiaowen destroyed eight, so he deserved an excellent completion evaluation.
"I originally thought it would be a perfect completion." Li Shuyi, covered in dust, rode beside her and said in a low voice.
"For perfect completion, I'm afraid we need to destroy at least ten strongholds. It's already good to have an excellent rating." Bai Xiaowen said.
"I think this A-level elite mission is not very difficult," Li Shuyi said. "There was no decent resistance during the surprise attack on various strongholds. In comparison, the rearguard patrol team of the Remnant Alliance Army was a little more troublesome.
, but with the combination of your intimidation skills and cavalry assault, it’s not too tricky.”
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "This A-level elite mission has not been submitted yet. The real difficulty is the way back! Its difficulty is a flexible mechanism."
"Elastic mechanism?" Li Shuyi repeated.
"That's right, everything is based on how much damage we caused to the Remnant Alliance and the time it took,"
Bai Xiaowen explained,
"If we destroy four strongholds, complete the basic level and then retreat, the remaining coalition forces will be damaged to this extent. It is estimated that they will be just enough to withdraw their troops and return to defense, but they will not be too hostile to us. And because of the reason of returning early,
, we will only encounter some rearguard troops when we retreat, not the main force."
"Now we have expanded our results and destroyed eight strongholds. There are beacons everywhere in the rear of the remnant coalition, and they must hate us. And because we have destroyed twice as many strongholds, we will be late when we go back, and there is a high possibility of collision.
The main force of the troops returning to the defense is the survivors... Therefore, the real difficult moment has not yet come, so we need to be mentally prepared."
Li Shuyi said in surprise: "The main force of the survivors? How can we fight with only a few dozen of us?"
"Of course we can't fight head-on, but our whereabouts are relatively secretive, which is a big plus. The main force of the survivors can only be divided into parts to search. Therefore, we will definitely not encounter any large troops, but small groups of dozens or hundreds of elites.
, the possibility is relatively high.”
Li Shuyi smiled and said: "I understand, the main force of the survivors is like a big net, and we are just a fish... Maybe we are lucky enough to pass through the mesh and return to Black Rock without fighting.
Where is the fortress?"
"You'd better not take chances. A-level elite missions generally don't have such mistakes. It's unrealistic to expect that the calculation of the rules of the spirit world will go wrong," Bai Xiaowen said.
After an hour of driving, Bai Xiaowen and his party could already see Black Rock City on the horizon in the distance.
"It's almost here." Li Shuyi said happily.
"Wow haha, after I go back, I will be a hero of mankind!" Kitz laughed loudly, and many cavalrymen of the White Stone Army raised their weapons and cheered loudly.
Tim and other young knights seemed to have not gotten over the guilt of slaughtering weak civilians, and remained silent. However, a trace of relief and relaxation could be seen in their stone statue-like expressions.
"Get ready to fight." Bai Xiaowen suddenly reined in his horse and raised his right hand.
Everyone stopped.
It was quiet all around, and there was a smell of death in the air.
A slightly unfamiliar voice came from behind the hillside not far away:
"You are an interesting human being. Your sense of danger is as keen as that of a wild beast. Now I understand why you were able to come here despite the encirclement and suppression of the army."
Following this voice, a group of troll warriors appeared.
There are about fifty people in this team of troll warriors. They are all stout and have powerful auras. They are rare elites.
The most terrifying thing is the leader of the troll. His red hair is tied into fine braids, his two fangs are twisted, and his skin is a strange dark blue. A strange and powerful aura surges around his body.
[Skill 1: Shadow Strike: Passive skill, Kelhan's normal attack will release an additional shadow energy, causing additional shadow spell damage to the target. 】
[Skill 2: Death Siphon: Kelhan absorbs the souls of the dead plague undead and heals himself. Every dead plague undead creature around will restore 20% of Kelhan's maximum health. 】
[Skill 3: Blood Spear Battle Flag (lv2): Passive skill, Kelhan’s health will be increased by an additional 400 points, and he will gain 40% immunity against control effects and abnormal conditions. 】
【Skill 4:???】
【Skill 5:???】
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath. Blood Spear Warlord Kelhan! I didn't expect to encounter him here. Kelhan's strength is probably stronger than the Vanguard Officer Giant Hammer Berserker Kelman!
What worries Bai Xiaowen more is the "78% undead" status of Kelhan. What does it mean?
Bai Xiaowen thought of a possibility, and he immediately cast insights into the troll warriors next to him, only to find that these troll warriors were already undead wearing troll skins, and their races were all "undead species".
/Ghoul Tribe”!
However, for unknown reasons, these troll warriors still retain considerable wisdom and consciousness.
While Bai Xiaowen was deep in thought, a troll warrior next to Kelhan laughed loudly: "Chief, this timid human being is too scared to speak."
The other troll warriors laughed.
But Kelhan shook his head: "Shut up, everyone. This is a warrior who dares to go deep alone and surprise our rear. You can kill him, but you can't laugh at him."
The troll warriors all fell silent.
The trolls' conversations were all spoken in the Remnant dialect, and only Bai Xiaowen could understand it. However, other human knights could also see that Kelhan stopped the troll warriors from mocking.
Bai Xiaowen's heart moved, and he urged his war horse to take a few steps forward: "Are you the warlord of the Blood Spear clan, Kelhan?"
Kelhan was a little surprised, then nodded and said: "I didn't expect that the intelligence of the human coalition forces has been so detailed?" He didn't expect that Bai Xiaowen could recognize it.
Bai Xiaowen did not answer his question, but made a strange action.
He opened his arms and drew a large arc in the air. Then he supported his right elbow with his left hand, stretched his right arm forward, slightly hooked his index finger, and then said: "I, the human lord of White Rock Town, Dio...
Skelboom, I challenge you now! Kerhan, do you dare to fight me?"
"A one-on-one duel?" Kelhan smiled playfully, "You are very familiar with the traditions of our remnant tribe, and you even have the same provocative moves for a duel. If you hadn't looked like a human, I would have wanted you.
I suspect you are an orc or a troll."
"Don't say so much. Do you dare to accept the challenge at the risk of the honor of your ancestors?" Bai Xiaowen shouted in a deep voice, while shouting again in the remnant language.
Kaierhan didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to use the remnant language and was stunned.
Seeing Bai Xiaowen being so arrogant, the troll warriors could no longer bear it. A thick troll guard took a step forward and said loudly: "You are not qualified to challenge the leader, I can tear your head off!"
Bai Xiaowen shouted in the remnant language: "Then you come first, and after I kill you, I will kill your leader!"
"Back off!" Kelhan shouted loudly. The troll warrior did not dare to disobey and could only retreat angrily.
"Human, your strength is not even half of mine. If you challenge me, your chances of winning are infinitely close to zero..." Kelhan stared at Bai Xiaowen and said slowly, "Why on earth are you doing this?"
Kaierhan did not give Bai Xiaowen time to answer, and continued on his own: "However, I will not agree. My grandfather once taught me that any request made by the enemy, no matter how absurd it seems or how harmful it is to me,
Even if it is beneficial, I cannot agree to it. If you are greedy for small profits, you will fall into the enemy's trap."
After a pause, Kelhan continued: "Now, the fifty warriors under my command are far stronger than you tired soldiers. If we fight normally, my chance of winning will be higher... In this case, why should I surrender?"
Winning rate, accept your challenge?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "I thought that the survivors valued honor. It seems that I was wrong."
"One ugly victory is far better than a thousand glorious defeats." Kelhan said slowly.
"Then let's fight!" Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, "The whole army charges! In front of us is Black Rock City. Kill these trolls and return as a hero!"
The knights around Bai Xiaowen loudly agreed, their desire for survival and sense of honor burning, and their morale rekindled.
"You are so anxious. Before you die, I want to chat with you a few more words. There are not many interesting humans like you..." Kelhan said.
"If there were no Remnant Revenge Troops chasing me behind me, I would be happy to chat with you a little more."
Bai Xiaowen exposed Kelhan's plan to delay time, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart at the old fox's caution. Although he already had a considerable advantage on the scene, he still wanted to delay time and try to let the other main forces of the survivors who were pursuing from behind follow him.
Go up and encircle.
The cavalry charged, and a shining book with a funny face on it suddenly appeared in Bai Xiaowen's right hand, pointing it at Kelhan.
The babbling magic book has additional skills, babbling is activated!
[Babble: Designate a target (no matter friend or foe), roll the dice, and cast a random spell on the target. The greater the number you roll, the higher the star rating of the spell. 】
Three transparent six-sided dice appeared, flipped several times in the air and landed on the "ground" four, five, six.
Spiritual world rules prompt information:
"The number you rolled is: 15 points."
"When the whispering skill is activated, a spell will be randomly selected from the four-star spells! Target: Bloodspear Warlord Kelhan."
"Spell extraction result: Holy Prism."
[Holy Prism: Four-star skill, turns the target into a prism filled with holy energy, instantly restores 30% of the maximum health (the upper limit is 400 points), and shoots holy energy to all targets in the surrounding area, restoring 10% of the maximum health.
Life value.]
After seeing the skill description of [Holy Prism], Bai Xiaowen's face darkened.
There are so many damage and control skills, why did you get the healing skill?! Fortunately, the war has just started, and Kelhan and his soldiers are full of health. If they are used during the fierce battle, Kelhan's health will be
A sudden increase of 30%, which is 210+, how can we still fight?
The reason why Bai Xiaowen chose to try his luck at the beginning of the war was because he took this into consideration. Even if he got a healing spell, it would not be helpful. At most, he would be laughed at as a lunatic...
Of course, there is still a certain risk in doing this, if you get a buff-type blessing spell... However, the chance is very small after all.
These thoughts swirled in Bai Xiaowen's head for 0.1 seconds, and then, Bai Xiaowen unexpectedly heard a scream.
The light of sacred energy was projected on Kaierhan's body, and it actually illuminated a large area of dead white mist! Kaierhan's body surface was ulcerated, as if it had been poured with boiling oil, it was extremely scary! His body surface was ulcerated.
On his head, a high amount of damage of 107 points suddenly appeared!
Immediately afterwards, the light of sacred energy spread out, and dozens of damage values ranging from dozens of points appeared on the heads of the surrounding troll warriors.
"Come on! The Holy Light is with us!"
"Lord Dio is so powerful! Our army will win!"
The morale of Tim, Marco, Phil and other knights immediately increased. They waved their weapons and roared to launch a charge.
【This...you seem to have made a mistake?】
Bai Xiaowen's words swirled in his throat, but he finally swallowed it and said: "Yes, the enemy has been seriously injured by me, kill them all! Break their bones!"
