Chapter 43: The Cunning Warlock
It's actually a +1 item!
Although it is still within the scope of shimmer items, there are not many people in the world of Feinan who know how to enchant!
Marven was overjoyed, held the jade dagger in the palm of his hand, and involuntarily turned around a few times.
【Emerald Dagger (+1)】
Quality: Shimmer
Attack: 6-9
Effect: Armor Piercing +5
Enchantment Effect (+1): Parry +5
……
This dagger seems to be the weapon that the shepherd used to defend himself. The two attributes of armor-piercing and parrying are completely two extremes.
"What can a dagger do......"
Marven couldn't help but want to complain about the enchanter who enchanted the dagger. But on second thought, although the attribute of parrying seems to be very chicken, sometimes it can also come in handy.
In addition, the current Marven is not a thief in the first place, although he can use a scimitar in his right hand and a dagger in his left hand, while maintaining high attack and flexibility, it will weaken the power of the double knife flow.
So the dagger, for Marven, can only be used as a third weapon.
He replaced the tabula rasa dagger on his waist and replaced it with a jade dagger, and when it was critical, he could also discard the scimitar and replace it with a dagger to attack.
This provides a variety of flexible offensive routines.
The only pity is that the treasure chest is not a scimitar.
If it is a scimitar at the shimmer level, then Marven's combat power will rise to a notch!
"After you get the territory this time, you must get a good pair of scimitars."
Marven thought to himself.
A double-knife ranger, the knife is a guy who eats, playing with a pair of whiteboards all day long, what kind of system is it?
……
In the treasure chest, apart from the bottle and the scimitar, there was only the envelope left.
The envelope was sealed with a fire paint seal, and the shepherd was dead anyway, Marven checked it and made sure there were no traps or curses on it, and opened the envelope.
Inside was a letter, written in the secret language of the Shepherds' organization.
Marven searched the language mastered by the nobles, and unfortunately found that he did not know the secret language of the shepherd.
This is also normal.
The Shepherd Order, like the cultists of the God of Plague and the Twin Serpents of the World, is an evil force active on Fernanda6. They have their own internal systems and secret words that they use to communicate with each other. Except for the shepherd himself, it is difficult for the rest of the people to decipher the secret words of the shepherd.
Their rivals are the Migratory Bird Council of the North, a powerful force of Druids. Among them are legendary great druids.
Because the shepherds sowed poisonous seeds everywhere and stirred up the feelings of living beings, the druids were very dissatisfied.
These natural balancers have been working to eradicate the shepherds.
Perhaps the druids might have understood the language of the shepherds.
……
After packing up the loot, Marven no longer stayed in the mine.
After making sure nothing was missed, he walked out of the mine along the tunnel.
This time, he didn't encounter any earth spirits very smoothly.
But when he walked out of the mine, he was now awake and ready for battle!
Most adventurers hide in the shallow depths of the mine or behind obstacles in the camp.
Only the men of the garrison of the White River Valley were behind the fortifications, ready for battle.
Torches were erected, and in the darkness in the distance, some eyes that shimmered with a ghostly light appeared.
The gnolls are coming!
……
"They're coming so fast."
"I thought it would be at least tomorrow at noon, but I didn't expect this gnoll warlock to be so decisive and actually arrive before dawn."
Marven crept over, next to Anna, and inquired about it, before he suddenly realized.
The gnolls had just arrived.
Fortunately, there were two rangers on duty at night, one of whom was a lone archer, and his name was Joey.
Joey is a human, but has a natural specialty, Insight.
His eyes are so sharp that he can detect stalking, gnolloll scouts, even in the dark.
It was precisely because of this guy's strong personal strength that the group was saved from being attacked by a sneak attack!
At that time, it was said that four gnolloll scouts were quietly approaching the camp.
But Joey, who had all reacted, was shot to death with a bow and arrow without mercy!
This made Marven a little impressed with him.
These guys, sure enough, still have some skills.
"He just used scatter and fired six arrows, four of which hit the target." Anna lowered her voice and said, "This kind of archery talent is rare even among pure-blood elves. ”
Marven nodded.
Needless to say, Anna also knows how perverted this ability is.
In addition to [Deep Insight], Joey must have other great specialties in him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do this.
He's a talent.
Such a thought flashed through Marven's heart.
"What do we do now? After the failed sneak attack, the gnolls did not choose to attack, they looked cautious. ”
Anna asked in a low voice.
She kept the adventurers in the mines or out of sight of the jackals.
In this way, only the members of the garrison and Joey were exposed.
This is a very sensible approach.
"How many gnolls are there?" Marven asked.
There is no moonlight tonight, and his eyesight is about equal to O, and it is normal for him to not be able to see the number of enemies clearly.
"I don't know." Anna shook her head solemnly.
Among their people, they are all ordinary humans, and none of them have dark vision.
Even Joey only sensed the stealth unit, and couldn't see exactly how many people were eyeing outside.
"It's okay, we can wait, it's dawn soon."
"If I'm not mistaken, these gnolls will attack after dawn!"
"Let's go ahead with the original plan."
Marven thought for a moment and said.
After saying this, he found a bunker and went to rest.
……
Why do the Gnolls attack after dawn?
The reason is simple. Their eyes are almost wolf-like, with a faint dark green glow in the middle of the night.
The human side, on the other hand, is purely hiding in the dark.
In this way, if the sneak attack fails, if you attack strongly, the gnolls will become a moving target, and the losses will be relatively more.
The gnolloll warlock was not a fool, on the contrary, a warlock who could control a tribe was often very smart.
He certainly wouldn't waste the lives of his men.
Attacking after dawn is the best option.
As everyone knows, Marven has already laid a bigger trap against them.
……
As Marven expected, the jackals who failed in the sneak attack did not rush to attack.
They rested outside the northern mines, except for a few mutated coyotes who let out wolf howls from time to time, the rest of the gnolls did not move.
Such a situation is actually very rare.
Because it does not fit the characteristics of the gnoll.
Marven was very happy about this, because there was only one possibility for the jackals, who had always been careless, to show such discipline.
That's the Gnoll Warlock, too!
That guy is here, don't even think about going back!
Although Marven was pretending to sleep, he was still very excited.
A first-order ranger, killing a second-order warlock alone, is actually a very challenging thing.
Not to mention the chaos in the army.
It's exciting to think about, even with Marven's strength and experience, it takes some luck!
But if it really doesn't work, Marven still has a backhand.
He believes in his skills and strength, but he trusts his mind even more.
In Marven's view, the real master is never the kind that doesn't say a word and does it.
It's like it's going to be done without saying a word, but in fact, before I got it, I had calculated it tens of thousands of times in my head......
There is no doubt that Marven is this kind of person.
……
Minutes and seconds passed, and dawn was coming.
The members of the garrison took up arms one after another and were fully prepared for battle. They were mostly melee personnel with only two archers.
After all, the cost of archer training is high, and talent is also required, and from the price point of view, the consumables such as arrows are also very expensive.
Luckily, Joey is also an archer and a good marksman, which gives them a lot of support.
The gnolls in the distance began to move.
Suddenly, a total of six coyotes roared out of the gnolls' formation and rushed towards everyone's position!
"What a cunning and greedy fellow!"
"He actually wants to use coyotes to rush out of our positions and break through our defenses in one fell swoop."
Such a thought flashed through Marven's mind.
It is true that the impact of the mutant coyote is amazing, but Marven has already dealt with it!
He yelled at Joey, "Help me find that warlock hiding in the crowd of jackals!" ”
