Devil's Journey

Chapter 465 Extracting Energy
A small group of kobolds really dare not attack human villages, but if there is a kobold warlock, it is not necessarily so. The kobold warlock who activates the dragon blood will lead the kobolds to build lairs, build traps, and even take the initiative to attack humans Gathering places to get more food to develop the clan.

If this attack is successful, three or four hundred human corpses and other food will allow this kobold tribe to grow rapidly. As a small village on the border, there is not even a single professional above the Bronze rank.

The strongest Ike in the village is only a level [-] hunter, while the other captain of the militia is a level [-] fighter. Both of them are the strongest professionals in the village, but they have no chance of winning against the kobold warlock. You can only take the militia and young adults to rely on the buildings and narrow roads in the village to defend.

The fireball just now directly caused the casualties of more than a dozen people. If it weren't for the buff of guarding their homes, the morale of the militia and young adults would have collapsed.

A larger number of kobolds held spears, stone axes, wooden sticks, and slings. Under the command of the kobold warlock, they continued to attack the young defense line of the militia along the only road in the village. Some kobolds even used Torches lit the houses on both sides.

The sound of fighting and screams, the burning flames, and the crying of children were mixed in. Some strong women and old people also came out with messy weapons. The kobold who got in from the corner blocked back.

Ketia put the baby in the animal skin bag, and carried it behind her back, holding a short bow around the fierce battle area, looking from the edge to the middle.

In the battle area at this time, some hunters put down their crossbows and held scythes to the front line. Under the leadership of Ike, several hunters with better bow skills tried to suppress the kobold's stone throwing, and at the same time looked for opportunities to shoot at the dog's head Warlock.

The kobold warlock was a little anxious at this time. Although he had a few other spells, they had little effect on the battle situation. If he could have another fireball, he might have already won the victory at this time.

His tribe has expanded to a certain extent, and if he wants to go further, he needs a lot of food for reproduction. It is difficult to find so much food in the mountains, and it is not impossible to find it, but the large-scale tribes in the mountains are not his branch. Small tribes can be provoked.

That's why he took the risk to lead the tribe to attack this village. As long as it succeeds, the tribe will not have to worry about food in the next few months. After a few months, the new generation of cubs will be able to participate in the next round of raids.

as long as
Ketia, who walked around to the side, saw the opportunity and shot an arrow at an unsuspecting kobold guard, then abandoned her bow and drew out her short sword, and rushed forward.

The kobold guard, who was caught off guard, was shot through the neck by an arrow ten meters away. After being fatally injured, he clutched his neck and dropped his wooden shield and fell to the ground.

The kobold warlock suddenly woke up and turned around quickly, watching Ketia rushing towards with a dagger and stretching out her hand in panic to cast a spell, but Ketia, who had prepared the spell long ago, released a special shock spell unique to the priest of destiny in advance.

A phantom of a demon suddenly appeared, and then instantly possessed the kobold warlock. A terrifying demon appeared in the mind of the kobold warlock who couldn't save himself, screaming and stretching out his hand to grab him.

Ketia rushed forward with a dagger in her hand, swiftly dodged a kobold guard's attack, and brushed the kobold guard's neck with the blade of her backhand, blood spurting out in an instant.

Regardless of Ketia's young age and low professional level, but after receiving Julian's blessing, her physical attributes are very high, and even her agility is slightly higher than that of a kobold.

Ike, who was standing on the roof and shooting arrows, also spotted Ketia who was attacking, and quickly called other people to shoot arrows to cover Ketia.

The kobold warlock in a state of panic had no defense against the imminent threat of death, and the other kobold guards had just turned around, but Ketia had already aimed her dagger at the kobold warlock's neck and stabbed straight at it.

Although this kobold warlock is a sixth-level warlock, but at this time he is deeply involved in the horror art, and he is completely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. When the short sword penetrates the kobold warlock's neck and causes fatal damage, a strong life energy flows from it. Extracted from kobold warlocks.

In a blink of an eye, the kobold warlock turned into a mummy. After a flash, the extracted life and soul energy were swallowed by the baby behind Ketia, and Ketia also got a little moisture and recovered her physical strength.

In addition, this kobold warlock and the other two kobolds killed earlier provided Ketia with another mysterious energy, killing power (experience value).

Ketia didn't care about feeling this mysterious energy, and retreated while holding the short sword, while blocking a few crazy kobold guards.

Relying on a little higher agility and the support of Ike and others, Ketia fought and retreated, her indifferent expression showed no panic, but beads of sweat continued to ooze from her forehead.

A feathered arrow was shot from the roof 30 meters away. Unfortunately, the hunting bow's weight was not high. The feathered arrow was stuck in the kobold's vest. Although it pierced the rough leather armor, it failed to penetrate the kobold's heart.

But Ketia took advantage of the situation to fight back, piercing the mouth of the kobold who was stunned by the arrow in the back with a sword, and stabbing the bloody blade from the back of the kobold's head.

"Huh? Can you upgrade?" Ketia quickly chose to upgrade the ranger while avoiding the attack of the kobolds. Although the priest profession is more important, Ketia, who was besieged by the kobolds at this time, could only choose to upgrade to the ranger.

A warm current flowed through her body, Ketia's fatigue was swept away, and her body became more agile. After dodging a kobold attack with a sliding step, she skillfully cut her throat with her backhand, beheading the kobold guard as well. up.

The tribal people in the southern mountain forest are fierce and fierce. Both men and women have been trained since childhood. The most employed are wilderness rangers. They are good at weapons such as bows, short spears, and swords. They also have the ability to communicate with the wild. killing.

After being promoted, Ketia continued her efforts and killed the remaining kobolds. The extracted energy flashed by, but the life energy that these kobolds of the black iron rank could extract was too thin, almost impossible to extract. It was found that the body was only slightly shriveled.

After the death of the kobold warlock, the kobolds in front gradually woke up from their bravery, and their cowardly nature surged up again, while the young and strong militiamen who had also reached their limits were greatly motivated. Under the encouragement of the militia captain and hunter captain Ike , Pressing forward more and more bravely.

Battle formation skills are different from those of adventurers. The crowded battlefield greatly restricts everyone's performance, but the advantage is that they don't need more complicated training. The militiamen are holding spears, followed by pitchforks The young and strong people, as well as hunters with sickles and axes, gradually gained the upper hand.

Ketia did not leave the battlefield, but kept shooting arrows not far away with a short bow in her hand. When she killed a kobold, she could get a ray of killing power, while the baby behind her could directly come from the battlefield. Death on the body draws life energy and soul energy.

Soon the kobolds couldn't hold on any longer, and the remaining thirty or forty kobolds turned and fled towards the outside of the village. Even if they managed to escape, most of these kobolds scattered back to the wilderness would only become meat for other predators , very few will find a kobold tribe willing to accept themselves.
