"Kill!"
The human cavalrymen led by Bai Xiaowen collided head-on with a phalanx of dark elves' patrol team.
Deterrence!
Invisible coercion spread out, and the patrol team composed of ordinary dark elves instantly fell into a state of coma or fear.
The three knights, Tim, Mark, and Phil, held their lances and, like a sharp arrow, cut through the dark elves' patrol team, assassinated the dark elves who were unable to move, and forcibly cut open a bloody path before leaving.
Although the dark elves regained their mobility midway, when the infantry faced the cavalrymen and their formation was disrupted, they could only be lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen's army was in a hurry to escape and did not continue fighting. Otherwise, more than a hundred dark elves would have been annihilated. They watched the cavalrymen led by Bai Xiaowen leave, but they could not catch up.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the cavalrymen around him.
After nearly a day and a night of raiding, there were only more than sixty cavalrymen left, and the rest were covered in blood and their armor was damaged.
The battle loss ratio was close to 40%. If it were an ordinary army, the morale would have collapsed.
Although the proportion of losses was not small, the results were quite fruitful.
"The total number of strongholds behind the allied forces that you have burned is: 8/4. Elite-level side task: Surprise attack on the enemy's rear has been completed. Completion rate: Excellent. "
"Please see Prince Nicholas or Archbishop Arlo to submit the task and receive the reward."
The task required at least four strongholds to be destroyed, and Bai Xiaowen destroyed eight, so it was natural for him to get an excellent completion rate.
"I thought it would be a perfect completion rate," Li Shuyi whispered as he rode beside him, covered in dust.
"A perfect completion rate, I'm afraid we have to destroy at least ten strongholds. It's good enough to get an excellent score, "Bai Xiaowen said.
"I think the difficulty of this A-level elite task doesn't seem to be very high," Li Shuyi said. "When we attacked the various strongholds, there was no decent resistance. In comparison, only the rearguard patrol team of the Allied Army of the Remnants is a little troublesome, but with the combination of your deterrence skill and the cavalry assault, they are not too difficult to deal with. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "This A-rank elite mission has not been submitted yet. The real difficulty is the way back! Its difficulty is a kind of flexible mechanism. "
"Elastic mechanism?" Li Shuyi repeated.
"That's right. Everything depends on how much damage we cause to the allied army and how much time it takes."
Bai Xiaowen explained.
"If we destroy the four strongholds and complete the basic degree of completion before retreating, the allied forces of the remnants will suffer such a degree of damage. It is estimated that it will be just enough for them to withdraw and defend, but they will not hate us too much. Moreover, because we returned early, we will only encounter some rearguard troops when we retreat, and we won't encounter the main force. "
"Now that we have expanded our achievements and destroyed a total of eight strongholds, there are beacons everywhere in the rear of the allied forces. They must hate us to the core. Moreover, because we have destroyed twice as many strongholds, we will return later, and it is very likely that we will encounter the main force of the remnants. Therefore, the real difficult moment has not yet come, and we need to be mentally prepared. "
Li Shuyi said in surprise, "The main force of the remnants? How can we fight with only a few dozen people left? "
"Of course, we can't fight head-on, but our whereabouts are relatively hidden, which is a great advantage. The main force of the remnants can only search for us in small groups. Therefore, we will certainly not encounter a large force, but a small elite force of dozens or hundreds of people, which is more likely. "
Li Shuyi said with a smile, "I understand. The main force of the remnant is like a big net, and we are the fish … Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, we can go through the net and return to the Black Rock Fortress without fighting."
"You'd better not have such a fluke mentality. Generally, there will not be such a mistake in an A-rank elite mission. It is not realistic to expect a mistake in the calculation of the rules of the spiritual world," Bai Xiaowen said.
After an hour of galloping, Bai Xiaowen and the others could already see Black Rock City on the distant horizon.
"We're almost there," Li Shuyi said happily.
"Wahaha, when I go back, I will be a hero of mankind!" Kitts laughed, and many cavalrymen of the Whitestone Army raised their weapons and cheered loudly.
Tim and other righteous knights, who seemed to have not come out of the guilt of slaughtering the weak civilians, were still silent. However, there was a trace of relief and relaxation in their stone-like faces.
"Get ready to fight." Bai Xiaowen suddenly reined in his horse and raised his right hand.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
The surroundings were quiet, and there was a smell of death in the air.
A slightly shaky voice came from behind the hillside not far away.
"You are very interesting, human. Your perception of danger is as keen as that of a beast. Now I understand why you can come here under the siege of the army. "
With this voice, a team of troll warriors appeared.
There were about fifty troll warriors in this team, and they were all muscular and had a strong aura. They were elites that were hard to come by.
The scariest was the troll leader. His red hair was braided, and his two fangs were twisted. His skin was suffused with a strange dark blue color. A strange and powerful aura surged from his body.
Bai Xiaowen first used [Insight].
[Kaierhan (Leader Level 7)/Undead 78%]
[Race: Humanoid/Troll]
[Profession: Death Hunter]
[Attributes: Strength 42, Agility 70, Constitution 31, Spirit 17]
[Skill 1: Shadow Strike: Passive skill. Kaierhan's normal attacks will release an additional shadow energy, causing additional shadow magic damage to the target.]
[Skill 2: Death Siphon: Kaierhan absorbs the souls of the Undead of Plague and heals himself. Each Undead of Plague that dies in the surrounding area will recover 20% of Kaierhan's maximum HP.]
[Skill 3: Blood Spear Battle Flag (LV2): Passive skill. Kaierhan's HP is increased by 400 points, and gains 40% immunity to control effects and abnormal statuses.]
[Skill 4:???]
[Skill 5:???]
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath. Blood Spear Warlord Kaierhan! He didn't expect to meet him here. Kaierhan's strength was probably stronger than the vanguard, Giant Hammer Berserker Kail Mann!
What Bai Xiaowen was more concerned about was Kaierhan's "Undead 78%" status. What did that mean?
Bai Xiaowen thought of a possibility. He quickly used [Insight] on the troll warriors next to him, but found that these troll warriors were already undead wearing troll skin. They were all Undead/Corpse Fey!
However, for some reason, these troll warriors still retained a considerable amount of intelligence.
Just as Bai Xiaowen was deep in thought, a troll warrior next to Kaierhan laughed loudly. "Leader, this cowardly human is so scared that he doesn't dare to speak."
The other troll warriors also laughed.
Kaierhan shook his head. "All of you, shut up. This is a warrior who dares to attack our rear alone. You can kill him, but you can't laugh at him. "
The troll warriors shut their mouths.
The troll's conversation was in the language of the survivors, and only Bai Xiaowen could understand it. However, the other human knights could also see that Kaierhan had stopped the troll warriors from laughing.
Bai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat, and he urged his warhorse forward a few steps. "You're the Blood Spear Warlord, Kaierhan?"
Kaierhan was a little surprised, but then he nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the intelligence of the human alliance army has reached such a detailed level." He did not expect Bai Xiaowen to recognize him.
Bai Xiaowen did not answer his question. Instead, he made a strange movement.
He opened his arms and drew a large arc in the air. Then, he held his right elbow with his left hand, stretched his right arm forward, and gently hooked his index finger. He immediately said, "I, the human lord of White Stone Town, Dior S Kail Bloom, challenge you! Kaierhan, do you dare to duel me? "
"A one-on-one duel?" Kaierhan smiled playfully. "You are very familiar with the traditions of our survivors. Even the provocation of a duel is not bad. If it weren't for your human appearance, I would have suspected that you were an orc or a troll. "
"Don't say so much. I bet on the honor of our ancestors. Do you dare to accept the challenge!" Bai Xiaowen shouted in a deep voice, and at the same time, he shouted in the language of the survivors.
Kaierhan did not expect Bai Xiaowen to use the language of the survivors and was stunned.
Seeing Bai Xiaowen so arrogant, the troll warriors could not bear it. A sturdy troll guard took a step forward and said loudly, "You are not qualified to challenge the leader. I can tear off your head!"
Bai Xiaowen shouted in the language of the survivors, "Then you go first. After I kill you, I will kill your leader!"
"Stand down!" Kai 'er Han yelled. The troll warrior did not dare to disobey and could only retreat resentfully.
"Human, your strength is not even half of mine. If you challenge me, your chances of winning are infinitely close to zero … "Kaierhan stared at Bai Xiaowen and said slowly," Why do you want to do this? "
Kaierhan did not give Bai Xiaowen time to answer and continued, "However, I will not agree. My grandfather once taught me that no matter how absurd the enemy's request seems, no matter how beneficial it is to me, I cannot agree. Greed for small gains will lead to falling into the enemy's trap. "
After a pause, Kaierhan continued, "Now, the fifty warriors under my command are far stronger than your tired soldiers. In a normal battle, my chances of winning are higher … In that case, why should I lower my chances of winning and agree to your challenge? "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "I thought that the survivors valued honor. It seems that I was wrong."
"An ugly victory is far better than a thousand glorious defeats," Kaierhan said slowly.
"Then let's fight!" Bai Xiaowen waved his hand. "All troops, charge! Black Rock City is in front of us. Kill these trolls and return as heroes! "
The knights around Bai Xiaowen answered loudly. Their desire to survive and their sense of honor were burning, and their morale was reinvigorated.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Before you die, I want to talk to you more. It's rare to see such an interesting human like you …" Kaierhan said.
"If there weren't any vengeful survivors chasing after me, I would be happy to talk to you more."
Bai Xiaowen exposed Kaierhan's plan to stall for time, and at the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart at the caution of this old fox. Obviously, he had already occupied a considerable advantage on the battlefield, but he still wanted to stall for time and strive to let the other main forces of the survivors behind catch up and encircle him.
As the cavalry charged, a flashing book with a funny face suddenly appeared in Bai Xiaowen's right hand and aimed at Kaierhan.
The additional skill of the Demon Book of Ravings, Ravings, was activated!
[Ravings: Select a target (whether enemy or friend), roll the dice, and cast a random spell on the target. The more points you roll, the higher the star level of the spell.]
Three transparent six-sided dice appeared, flipped a few times in the air, and landed on the ground — four, five, six.
The Spiritual Realm's rules prompt information:
"Your roll of the dice is: 15 points."
"The Ravings skill is activated. A random spell will be drawn from the four-star spells! Target: Blood Spear Warlord Kaierhan. "
"Spell Draw Result: Sacred Prism."
[Sacred Prism: Four-star skill. Turn the target into a prism filled with sacred energy, immediately restoring 30% of the target's maximum HP (Limit: 400 points). Shoot sacred energy to all targets in the surrounding area, restoring 10% of their maximum HP.]
After seeing the skill description of [Sacred Prism], Bai Xiaowen's face darkened.
There were so many damage and control skills, how did he get a healing skill?! Fortunately, the battle had just begun, and Kaierhan and his soldiers were full of HP. If he used it in the heat of the battle, Kaierhan's HP would suddenly increase by 30%, which was 210 +. How could he fight?
The reason why Bai Xiaowen chose to try his luck at the start of the battle was also because he had considered this point. Even if he rolled a Healing Spell, it wouldn't be of any help. At most, he would be ridiculed as a lunatic.
Of course, there was still a certain risk in doing so. What if he rolled a buff spell … However, the probability was still very small.
These thoughts ran through Bai Xiaowen's mind for 0.1 seconds. Immediately after, Bai Xiaowen was surprised to hear a scream.
The light of the sacred energy was projected on Kaierhan's body, and it actually illuminated a large area of white fog! A large area of Kaierhan's body festered, as if he had been doused in boiling oil. It was extremely frightening! Above his head, a high damage of 107 points suddenly appeared!
Immediately after, the light of the sacred energy spread out, and the surrounding Troll Warriors all had damage values of a few dozen points appear above their heads.
"Charge! May the sacred light be with us! "
"Lord Dior is so powerful! Our army will win! "
The morale of Tim, Mark, Phil, and the other knights suddenly increased. They waved the weapons in their hands and roared as they charged.
