"Kill!"

The human cavalry led by Bai Xiaowen collided head-on with a phalanx of dark elves' patrol team.

Deterrence!

The invisible coercion spread, and the patrol team composed of these ordinary soldiers of the dark elves instantly fell into a state of coma or fear.

The three knights, Tim, Marco, and Phil, held their spears, like a sharp arrow, cut through the dark elf patrol team, assassinated the dark elf warriors who were controlled and unable to move, and forcibly carved a bloody path and drove away.

Although the dark elves regained their mobility halfway through, the infantry versus cavalry, and when the formation they relied on for survival was disrupted, they could only be lambs to the slaughter.

Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen's army was in a hurry to flee and did not fight, otherwise these more than 100 dark elf warriors would definitely be annihilated. They watched the cavalry team led by Bai Xiaowen go away, but they couldn't catch up.

Bai Xiaowen glanced at the cavalry beside him.

After nearly a day and a night of raiding, there were still more than 60 of the 100 cavalry, and the rest were also covered in blood and their armor was torn.

The battle loss ratio is close to 40%, and if you put it in an ordinary army, I am afraid that the morale has collapsed.

Although the proportion of losses is not small, the results are also quite fruitful.

"The total number of Remnant Coalition rear strongholds you have burned is: 8/4. Elite Side Quest: Completed after the surprise attack, completion: Excellent. ”

"Meet Prince Nicholas or Archbishop Arlo and submit a quest and receive a reward. ”

The task required the elimination of at least four strongholds, and Bai Xiaowen destroyed eight of them, and it was natural to get an excellent completion evaluation.

"I thought it would be a perfect finish. Li Shuyi rode a horse and followed her, and said in a low voice.

"Perfect completion, I'm afraid it will take at least ten strongholds. It's good to have an excellent rating. Bai Xiaowen said.

"I don't think the difficulty of this A-level elite mission is very high," Li Shuyi said, "There is no decent resistance when it comes to raiding various strongholds." In comparison, the Remnant Alliance's rearguard patrol team is a little more cumbersome, but with the combination of your deterrent skills and cavalry assault, it's not too tricky. ”

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "This A-level elite task has not been submitted yet, what is really difficult is the way back! ”

"Elastic mechanism?" Li Shuyi repeated.

"That's right, it's all about how much damage we've done to the coalition of remnants and how much time it takes,"

Bai Xiaowen explained,

"If we destroy the four strongholds and retreat after completing the basic level of completion, the remnant coalition forces will be damaged to this extent, it is estimated that it will be just enough to withdraw the troops and return to defense, but they will not be too hateful to us. And because of the reason for going back early, when we retreated, we would only encounter some rearguard troops, and not the main forces. ”

"Now that we have expanded our gains and destroyed eight entire strongholds, the rear of the remnant coalition is full of smoke, and we must be hated to the core. Moreover, since we have destroyed twice as many strongholds, we will return relatively late, and it is very likely that we will run into the main force of the remnants returning to defend themselves...... So, the really difficult moment has not yet come, and you need to be mentally prepared. ”

Li Shuyi said in surprise: "The main force of the remnants, how can we fight with the dozens of people we have left. ”

"Of course, we can't fight head-on, but our whereabouts are relatively secretive, which is a big plus, and the remnants can only be searched in pieces. Therefore, we will definitely not encounter any large troops, a small elite force of dozens or hundreds of people, and it is more likely. ”

Li Shuyi said with a smile: "I understand, the remnant democratic forces are like a big net that is opened, and we are a fish...... Perhaps, we'll be lucky enough to slip through the mesh and make our way back to Blackrock Fortress without a fight. ”

"You'd better not have this kind of luck mentality, A-level elite missions generally don't have this kind of mistake, and it's not realistic to expect the rules of the spirit world to make mistakes. Bai Xiaowen said.

After an hour of galloping, Bai Xiaowen and his party could already see Black Rock City on the distant horizon from afar.

"It's almost there. Li Shuyi said happily.

"Wowhaha, after Lao Tzu goes back, he will be a hero of mankind!" Kitts laughed, and many cavalrymen of the White Rock Army raised their weapons and cheered loudly.

Tim and the other knights, who were in their prime, seemed to have not yet recovered from the guilt of slaughtering civilians, and remained silent. However, a hint of relief and relaxation could also be seen in their stone-like faces.

"Prepare for battle. Bai Xiaowen suddenly reined in his horse and raised his right hand.

The crowd stopped.

There was silence all around, and there was a dead silence in the air.

A slightly jerky voice came from behind the hillside not far away:

"You're a human. The perception of danger is as sharp as that of a beast. I now understand why you are here under the siege of the army. ”

With that, a group of troll warriors appeared.

This team of troll warriors, about fifty people, are all stout and strong, and they are rare elites.

The most terrifying thing is the troll at the head, with red hair tied into fine braids, two fangs twisted, and skin glowing an eerie dark blue. A strange and powerful aura surged through his body.

Bai Xiaowen first lost an insight into the past.

[Khalhan (Boss Level 7)/Undead 78%]

[Race: Humanoid/Troll]

[Class: Death Stalker]

[Attributes: Strength 42, Agility 70, Constitution 31, Spirit 17]

[Skill 1: Shadow Strike: Passive skill, Khalhan's normal attack will release an additional shadow energy, causing additional shadow spell damage to the target. 】

[Skill 2: Death Siphon: Khalhan absorbs the souls of the plague undead and heals himself.] Every plague undead creature that dies in the vicinity will restore 20% of Khalhan's maximum health. 】

[Skill 3: Blood Spear Battle Banner (LV2): Passive skill, Khalhan's HP is increased by an additional 400 points, and 40% immunity to control effects and ailments is granted. 】

[Skill 4: ???]

[Skill 5: ???]

Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath. Khalhan, the Bloodspear Overseer, didn't expect to encounter him here. Khalhan's strength is probably stronger than that of the vanguard officer giant mallet berserker Kelman!

What Bai Xiaowen cares about more is the state of "78% undead" on Kaierhan's body, what does it mean?

Bai Xiaowen thought of a possibility in his heart, and he followed up with the troll warriors next to him and also threw out his insight, only to find that these troll warriors were already undead in troll skin, and all the races were "undead species/corpse demon clan"!

However, for unknown reasons, these troll warriors still retain a considerable sense of intelligence.

Just as Bai Xiaowen was pondering, a troll warrior beside Kaierhan was already laughing: "Chief, this timid human is already too scared to speak. ”

The other troll warriors laughed.

Khalhan shook his head: "Shut up for me." This is a warrior who dares to go deep alone and surprise the rear of our army, you can kill him, but you can't laugh at him. ”

The troll warriors kept silent.

The conversations of the trolls were all spoken in the accent of the relict language, and only Bai Xiaowen could understand it. However, the other human knights could also see that Khalhan had stopped the troll warriors' mockery.

Bai Xiaowen's heart moved, urging the war horse to take a few steps forward: "You are the overseer of the Blood Spear Clan, Kaier Khan?"

Kaierhan was a little surprised, and then nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that the intelligence of the human alliance army has been so detailed?" He didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to be able to recognize it.

Bai Xiaowen didn't answer him this question, but made a strange move.

His arms were spread out, drawing a large arc in the air, then his left hand supported his right elbow, his right arm stretched forward, his index finger gently hooked, and then said, "I, the human Lord of Whitestone Town, Dio Skelboom, now challenge you!

"A one-on-one duel?" said Khalhan, smiling playfully, "You are familiar with the traditions of our remnant tribes, and even the provocative movements of the duel are no less than the same. If it weren't for your human appearance, I'd have suspected that you were an orc or a troll. ”

"Don't say so much, bet on the honor of your ancestors, do you dare to accept the challenge!" Bai Xiaowen shouted in a deep voice, and at the same time shouted in the language of the remnants.

Kaierhan didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to use the relict language, and was stunned.

Seeing Bai Xiaowen so arrogant, the troll warriors couldn't bear it. A stout troll guard stepped 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 remnants: "Then you come first, after I kill you, I will kill your leader!"

"Stand down!" Khalhan snapped. The troll warrior didn't dare to disobey, so he could only retreat in a huff.

"Human, your strength is not even half of mine. Challenge me, your chances of winning are infinitely close to zero......" Kaierhan stared at Bai Xiaowen and said slowly, "Why on earth are you doing this?"

Kaierhan didn't give Bai Xiaowen time to answer, and continued to himself: "However, I won't agree. My grandfather taught me that I could not accede to any request made by the enemy, no matter how absurd it may seem, and how advantageous it may be to me, and to covet the trap of the enemy in the Lesser Profit. ”

After a pause, Khalhan continued, "Now, the fifty warriors under my command are far stronger than you tired soldiers. If I fight normally, my chances of winning will be higher...... In that case, why did I lower my chances of victory and agree to your challenge?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "I thought that the remnants all valued honor, it seems that I was wrong." ”

"An ugly victory is far better than a thousand glorious defeats. Khalhan said slowly.

"Then let's fight!" Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, "The whole army charges!" In front of you is Black Rock City, kill these trolls and return as a hero!"

The knights around Bai Xiaowen agreed loudly, their desire to survive and their sense of honor were burning, and their morale was reinvigorated.

"I'm in such a hurry, I want to talk to you a little more before you die, it's rare to see such an interesting human being like you......" Khalhan said.

"If I hadn't had the remnant revenge force behind me, I'd be happy to talk to you a little more. ”

Bai Xiaowen exposed Kaierhan's calculation of delaying time, and at the same time sighed in his heart about the old fox's caution. Obviously, he already had a considerable advantage on the scene, but he still wanted to delay the time and strive to let the other main forces of the remnants who were chasing from the rear follow and encircle.

The cavalry hedged, and a flickering book with a funny face suddenly appeared in Bai Xiaowen's right hand, aimed at Kaierhan.

Whispering Grimace additional skills, Whispering is activated!

[Whispering: Specify a target (friend or foe), roll the dice, and cast a random spell on the target.] The higher the number of points you shake, the higher the star of the spell. 】

Three transparent six-sided dice appeared, flipped in the air a few times and fell to the "ground" - four, five, six.

Spiritual Rule Tips:

"The number of points you roll is: 15 points. ”

"When the Whispering skill is activated, a spell will be randomly drawn from a four-star spell! Target: Bloodspear Overseer Khalhan. ”

"Spell Draw Result: Holy Prism. ”

[Sacred Prism: A four-star skill that turns the target into a prism filled with divine energy, instantly restores 30% of its maximum health (capped at 400 points), and shoots divine energy at all targets in the surrounding area, restoring 10% of its maximum health. 】

After seeing the skill description of the [Divine Prism], Bai Xiaowen's face turned dark.

There are so many damage and control skills, how did you draw healing skills?! Fortunately, the war has just started, and Khalhan and his soldiers are full of blood. If you use it in the heat of battle, Khalhan's HP will suddenly increase by 30%, which is 210+, how can you fight?

The reason why Bai Xiaowen chose to try his luck as soon as the war started was also in consideration - even if he got a healing spell with a black face, it would not help, and at most he would be ridiculed as a psychopath......

Of course, there is still a certain risk in doing so, in case you get a BUFF-type blessing spell...... However, the odds are slim.

These thoughts turned in Bai Xiaowen's head for 0.1 seconds, and immediately after, Bai Xiaowen was surprised to hear a miserable scream.

The light of divine energy was projected on Kaierhan's body, and it actually illuminated a large area of dead white mist! Kaierhan's body surface festered a large area, as if it had been doused with boiling oil, which was extremely terrifying! On his head, a high damage of 107 points suddenly appeared!

Immediately after, the light of divine energy spread out, and the surrounding troll warriors also had dozens of damage values on their heads.

"Rush, the Light is with us!"

"Lord Dio is so powerful!

Tim, Marco, Phil and other knights, whose morale suddenly increased, brandished the weapons in their hands, roared and launched a charge.

[This...... You seem to be mistaken?]

Bai Xiaowen's words turned in his throat, and finally swallowed it, and then said: "Yes, the enemy has been seriously injured by me, kill them all!
