Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 208 Iron Skin Butcher
After discussing some details with the priests of the Moonbow Temple, Li Wei left Bitao Village with his troops and formally marched towards Ash Ridge Town.

It's not just the Red Brotherhood that needs to be carefully discussed and considered. In this matter, the priests can't make the decision, because the Moon Bow Goddess has never gained believers from humans on such a large scale before.

Moreover, the reputation of the Red Brotherhood is not very good. After all, the industry they are involved in is mainly the trading of captives, so the priests need to pray earnestly to wait for the god's reply.

Due to the different speed of time flow between the main world and the God Realm, neither Li Wei nor they know when they will have a definite answer.

So Li Wei didn't bother to wait any longer. Anyway, whether it was the Moonbow Temple or the Red Brotherhood, they all had strongholds in Ash Ridge Town. Even if he got there, he would not completely lose contact.

Moreover, he is essentially just an intermediary introducer. After talking about this point, his existence is actually not as important as imagined.

Of course, once this matter is really successful, Yue Gong, as a goddess, will never forget his dedication. Except for a very few gods of the chaotic and evil camp, most gods can definitely be called rewards and punishments.

On the one hand, this is because the gods usually encourage mortal things to serve them in this way, and on the other hand, it is probably because what mortal things ask for is usually meaningless to them.

Not counting the many elite subordinates, the number of Li Wei's troops this time has exceeded 200. Among them, the long-range shooters include the Avalon sisters, Skyhawk archers, and half-elves. There are nearly 100 people in total. They are the main output of the team.

As for the ordinary Tier 2 archers who were taken away from the village by accepting the task of training recruits before, Li Wei stayed in the village and handed them over to Tiwa to command, or simply serve as temporary village defenders.

Although with Donna's addition, their strength is not bad, but Li Wei still needs to free up a certain amount of leadership to prepare for the new troops that may be encountered next.

The five priests from the temple, although they are not combat priests like Cindy, are relatively fragile, but they are very important and they are targets that need to be protected.

Then there are 20 night elf huntresses. Li Wei mainly asked them to cooperate with the monitoring archons to carry out the investigation work under the leadership of Julia. So far, they have done well.

If I have to say the disadvantages, it is that they cannot enjoy Li Wei's military rank bonus, and they don't match Julia's fighting style well.

At present, Julia has gradually transitioned into a riding and shooting unit. It is not too much to say that within a hundred meters, it is not too close.

But the attack distance of the huntresses is only a few tens of meters, which led to the fact that in most cases, Julia was shooting non-stop by herself, and they could only watch.

After finally waiting for the enemy to enter their range, Julia decided to lead the team to evacuate because the enemy was too close
Everyone, including Li Wei and Julia, is aware of this problem, but they have no solution for the time being, because there is indeed a lack of riding and shooting scouting troops in the team, so they can only go to Ash Ridge Town first.

If there is a suitable opportunity, replace them and stay in Bitao Village. Their special attack methods are still very useful when fighting against skeleton soldiers and other miscellaneous soldiers.

As for the final melee troop, there are mainly two types, 50 Silver Guards and 20 Caledor Sentinels.

The number of people is a bit small, but the average combat effectiveness is very good. In addition, Li Wei can also summon many celestial creatures to assist in the battle, so the overall strength of this team is still very good.

It's just that even though they tried their best and wanted to fight a few battles, they didn't know whether it was the efforts of the chosen heroes or the aborigines were strong enough to move forward, but they found that they didn't encounter many enemies.

Even if they are encountered occasionally, they are basically small groups of demons or green skins, and they look like the kind of broken-up army.

This made Li Wei feel a little bit emotional. It seems that during his stay in Bitao Village, the outside situation has changed to some extent. Everyone is working hard.

But even if he was given another chance, he would definitely make the same choice.

Because as long as there is a little development and construction, the benefits that Bitao Village can bring will be endless, and to be honest, he hasn't been delayed much.

What's more, he is confident that even if there is a slight delay, their strength will definitely surpass ninety-nine percent of God's Chosen Heroes!
The closer he got to Ash Ridge, Li Wei found that the number of encounters with enemies decreased, and the frequency of encounters with God's Chosen Heroes became higher and higher. However, everyone basically kept on going because there were really no monsters in the wilderness. Can kill.

Li Wei was a little bored when he was idle, so he began to experiment with the newly acquired large-scale summoned elements one by one, wanting to get more familiar with their fighting methods.

He has summoned the two elements of water and wind before, and now it is the turn of earth and fire.

Then he found that the combat effectiveness of the two of them had also improved considerably.

The new abilities of the large earth elemental are called push and siege. The former allows it to cause a certain amount of damage to any enemy blocking in front of it when it is moving or charging, and there is a lower Chance of knocking the opponent to the ground.

Although he feels that under normal circumstances, there are very few enemies who cannot avoid its charge, after all, its speed is too slow, but if multiple large earth elementals are summoned at once and charge directly at the enemy's position, then Is the enemy hiding, or not hiding?
The latter can allow it to have extra damage when attacking buildings and war equipment, which is also very good, especially when combined with his spell expansion expertise, it may give the enemy an unexpected surprise at any time.

The new abilities of the large fire elemental strength are called lighting and throwing fireballs. You can tell the meaning just by looking at the name. Compared with the other three elements, its improvement is not much, and it is more like complementing its shortcomings. Anyway, it is also a Tier 4 unit, especially with his blessing, it is still very capable of fighting.

While experimenting, the team continued to move forward. Seeing that they were less than 10 miles away from Ash Ridge Town, a supervisor archon suddenly sent back a message.

Li Wei was also slightly taken aback when he saw it. It wasn't that the other party had discovered any powerful enemy, but he saw a rather strange picture, and even a message technique was a little unclear.

Out of curiosity, Li Wei also ordered his subordinates to adjust their direction a little bit. He felt that with his own strength, even if something unexpected happened, he could easily crush the opponent.

Thinking of this, he began to cast summoning magic non-stop. Now that the number of melee units on his side is small, he has to rely more on these summoned creatures, and participating in battles and killing more enemies will also help him and the celestial creatures. relation.

Soon they arrived at their destination. From a long distance, they saw about thirty or so three-meter-high ogres covered in fat who were burying pots for cooking. There were also some unknown meats hanging, and it seemed to be in full swing for a while.

Judging by their appearance, they should be Tier 3 units - ogre bull warriors.

There are about twice as many miscellaneous soldiers who look like goblins but have muscle bumps all over their bodies. They are camping by the edge of a lake.

They are Gnobla, a subspecies of goblins. Because the ogre race is too powerful, they serve as low-level miscellaneous soldiers. It is a bit similar to the half-elf soldiers in the high elf novice village. The class starts from 0 There are up to 2nd stage.

Different from the timidity of ordinary goblins, no matter how many enemies there are or what strength they are, as long as the ogre gives an order, they will dare to fight until all of them are dead, and will hardly surrender.

Of course, this doesn't mean how brave they are, it's just that they have no brains, so they basically don't have the emotion of fear.

So even though in the society of ogre, besides serving as miscellaneous soldiers and slaves, they also serve as spare food, but they still enjoy it.

At this moment, apart from camping, there are some Goblas who are holding fishing nets and the like, constantly pouring things out of the lake.

In fact, if it is just like this, it is not a special event. Although this is not the territory of ogres, these fat guys who are willing to do anything for food will often go out of their own tribes, and all over the world. As a mercenary, you don't even need money, just eat.

But as the team got closer, Li Wei also gradually understood why the inspector Yakong felt weird.

Because the lake is not only very small, only about a hundred square meters, calling it a lake is an exaggeration, and it should be called a small puddle.

Moreover, there seemed to be no water source around, resulting in a very poor environment. Many palm-sized flies and mosquitoes and other giant insects were flying around.

Although they can't pierce the thick skin of ogres, they will be slapped to death by them, and then grabbed and thrown into their mouths to eat as snacks, but they still have a certain degree of lethality against Gnobras.

But even so, Gobula still seemed very excited, because every time they moved, they could harvest a lot of things, which were the corpses of humanoid creatures. From a rough look, at least they had been fished out from the shore. Hundreds.

Li Wei and Donna looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong. There were so many corpses hidden in such a small puddle. There was obviously something hidden about them. They just didn't know if they were elves, humans, or other races.

And Li Wei had some vague guesses.

After most of the troops die in battle, they will be refreshed by the system, their bodies will return to heaven and earth, and their souls will go to the realm of the gods or hell. Basically, only a few special races such as undead or ogres can store corpses.

Ogres are unlikely, as they never hoard food, and they never seem to have enough to eat, so they eat what's available on the spot.

Then contacting this place called the Plain of Bones, which used to be the territory of the undead, the correct answer is actually ready to come out.

Thinking of this, Li Wei decided to move on, at least to confirm the race of those corpses first, and then decide what to do next.

At this time, the ogres also noticed their arrival, and an ogre with iron-gray skin and obviously taller than the other companions stood up.

"Elves? It's not time for us to sell meat yet!"

While talking, he slammed the shield tied to his big belly, and with a wave of his right hand, he directly cut off the thigh of a corpse, threw it into his mouth, and began to chew.

Although all kinds of cloudy and unclear liquids were splashed everywhere, he ate happily, and at the same time, the ogres around him were also full of envy and jealousy.

There are even large pieces of disgusting mucus flowing down from the corners of the mouths of more than one ogre. They are obviously greedy, but I don’t know if it’s because of the majesty of the leader, or other reasons, but they didn’t move for a while, they just stood upright. Staring at his leader.

However, Cindy and Janet, who were witnesses, were disgusted, because they immediately realized where the butcher said by the other party and the things hanging on the shelves came from.

Although the name is Ogre, they never imagined that the other party is actually a cannibal!

Although Donna didn't feel very comfortable, she just gave orders silently to get her subordinates ready for battle, because from her point of view, the ogres seemed to attach great importance to these unexpected spoils, if they refused to let them If Li Wei sent someone to check, there might be a battle going on.

Li Wei also thought so, but he was not impulsive, he just ordered the troops to suspend, because he felt that the enemy might be a little bit difficult to deal with.

He looked at the messy pile of small bags tied around the opponent's waist, and then looked at about a dozen or so behind the opponent with the same iron-gray skin and weapons in their hands that looked more like kitchen knives than machetes. Demons, he has almost confirmed the identity of the other party.

Although there are very few god-chosen heroes who choose ogres, because they occupy an extremely vast territory, there are not many god-chosen heroes who come into contact with them, especially Zhendan, many people will fight with them Do business or hire them, so the relevant information is not too scarce.

"I am the God's Chosen Hero Li Wei. Judging by your appearance, are you a butcher from the Ironskin tribe?"

Ogres have many large and small tribes, and their rise and fall are very frequent. So far, no one has really counted the number of their tribes.

However, some of the most famous tribes can often stand for hundreds of years, and may have some special features. For example, this ogre, which is suspected to be from the Ironskin tribe, has a very good ability to attack physical attacks. resistance.

As for the butcher, it is one of the special occupations of the ogres. Although the ogres do not have a systematic magic inheritance, they have a very strange big stomach god, and they are the only ones who still keep their real bodies in the main world. God.

Probably considering the IQ problems of ordinary ogres, so the God of Stomach is very tolerant to its followers. Many ogres may not do anything, just cook, and suddenly realize the special power. It can use magic or witchcraft-like powers by devouring special items on various prey.

Because for ogres, cooking is the top priority, and some special parts are needed for casting spells, so they call this profession a butcher, which integrates overturning enemies, slaughtering enemies, cooking, cooking and casting spells.

There are also fire bellies. It is said that they habitually cook and dry food in the crater, and even the strong among them can drink magma directly.

Although it is not known whether it is true or not, it is a fact that fire belly can use fire magic.

Of course, whether it is Iron Stomach or Fire Belly, their numbers are extremely rare, and they are generally hero-level units.

"Haha, that's right, no matter what kind of corpse it is, it can be turned into good food in the hands of our butchers. These corpses will become our sacrifices to the God of Stomach!"

The butcher from the Ironskin Tribe laughed and swung his machete, chopping up a nearby corpse.

Seeing this scene, Li Wei shook his head in his heart. With the appetite of you ogres, you can swallow living enemies alive, and you can eat corpses that have been buried for many years. What good food can you make? ?

But of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to say it directly, otherwise, even if most of the ogres were short-sighted, they would probably be angry.

In order to avoid nightmares, he said bluntly, "I'm very interested in the corpses you salvaged. Can I send someone to check them out? As a price, I can pay a certain amount of meat."

As for ogres, they basically know how to cook. As long as they reach a consensus on food, there must be no big problems in other aspects.

Saying this, he signaled Zhou Miyin to give the other party some meat first, to show his sincerity.

Since the last time Sun Knight helped him acquire a few space rings, he has assigned them to Cindy and other elite troops. They all have a lot of arrows and supplies, etc., just to deal with some special situations.

But this time he made a little miscalculation. Although the other ogres seemed a little moved, the leader of the butcher didn't know why after listening to his words, his eyes stared suddenly, and his soul wandered away.

Li Wei couldn't help frowning when he saw this, he directly waved his hand secretly to release several quicksand traps, and then asked his subordinates to prepare for war at any time.

Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for an ogre to refuse food, even if it is fed by the enemy, not to mention that he has not shown any hostility before, and he has no reason to refuse himself.

There must be a very special reason for an ogre to temporarily ignore the temptation of food.

A few seconds later, before Zhou Miyin had gone far, the butcher suddenly roared, "Don't even try to take away my food!"

Without waiting for Li Wei to respond, the butcher directly took out a large handful of bones from his waist pocket, stuffed them into his mouth and began to chew.

Li Wei suddenly snorted, raised his hand and released an anti-faction circle: "Be careful, prepare to resist magic attacks!"

Swallowing certain foods is the prelude to casting spells for butchers. Compared with orthodox mages, they need to consume special materials almost every time they release magic, and there are often some special omens before the spell is successfully cast.

Before he finished speaking, the butcher had finished casting the spell. An iron gray arm with a length of seven or eight meters and a diameter of more than one meter had floated above the heads of the melee troops and slowly clenched its fist.

"Zhou Miyin, come back quickly!"

"Guardians of Silver Light, dodge magic immediately!"

Zhou Mi responded quickly, trotting and trying to return to his own position, and at the same time, the silver light guards directly below the magic scattered to the surroundings.

Although they originally had a certain degree of magic resistance and received the blessing of the anti-faction magic circle, there is no need to resist the enemy's magic, especially this kind of magic that looks slow. If you don't try to avoid it, it will make them appear It's stupid!

Two seconds later, the huge fist slammed down, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust, and at the same time shaking the surrounding ground.

Even though they dodged the most direct attack, affected by the shock wave and the overflowing energy, the silver light guards around them still lost dozens of lives, and considering their magic resistance at this time , although the release speed of this magic is a bit slow, its power is really good.

But this is also the only magic that the other party can fully release, because with a light shout, Donna and the others have already fired.

However, the butcher is worthy of being an ogre hero from the Ironskin tribe. The damage caused by ordinary arrows to him is almost negligible, especially when it hits the shield on his abdomen, it can't break the defense directly, showing that Extremely strong physical resistance.

Only the two magic arrows of Avalon can cause considerable damage.

But what really made the butcher cry out was Donna's attack. Three arrows with golden flames shot the butcher staggeringly.

While screaming in pain, he touched his big bald head inexplicably, as if he didn't understand what happened, but then he roared: "Attack, smash these elves for me, I want to taste their meat !"

Those ordinary ogres before seemed a little stupid, I don't know why the butcher would refuse each other's food, but after hearing his order, they all roared and waved their barbed fangs The stick and the heavy iron gauntlet rushed up, looking at Li Wei and the others with fanaticism and excitement in their eyes.

It's not like looking at the enemy, but more like looking at delicious food.

Li Wei was still a little puzzled at first, and the butcher's behavior seemed to be a little bit wrong, but soon after seeing the expressions of these ogres, he couldn't help grinning.

It is said that most ogres love heavy cold weapons, not only because of their great lethality, but also because they think that the flesh and blood will be more delicious after being hit hard. At first, he didn't quite believe it, but now he has no doubts what.

However, treating yourself as food, this will be the worst choice you have ever made!
