Throne of the Warlord

Chapter 39 The Thrilling Evil Aura

This jackal is probably two meters tall, with a wolf head, bare upper body, extremely muscular, with red magic lines engraved on his body, which is emitting a faint blood-colored glow, extending to the hair all over his body is also dyed red.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Li Qing always feels uncomfortable when he sees the bloody magic pattern.

Gnoll leader Larson (hero): Monster lord, third-tier berserker, two-star rarity.

The leader of the gnolls, Larson, is a third-tier berserker, a hero, and a monster lord at the same time, with a rarity of two stars.

The so-called monster lord is a title and a status. At the same time, it will have a certain bonus to the hero's strength. The stronger the monster lord's power, the higher the bonus.

Not all monster leaders can be called lords. They must be the leader of a monster group, and the group they lead has a complete hero inheritance, such as Larson's Berserker professional inheritance.

And the ethnic group can develop and grow. For example, the wolf man tribe can continuously produce new wolf men and grow stronger.

Of course, the advancement of growth requires more resources, at least there must be enough food sources to feed more jackals.

The fragments of the plane in front of me are not large. Although the kobolds, the servants of the gnolls, can farm, their output is limited. Most of the food can only be hunted, and the food in the forest is also limited. As a result, the scale of this gnoll tribe is limited and cannot grow.
But no matter what, it is still a large tribe with nearly two hundred jackals and five or six hundred kobold servants.

Larson was surprised that Li Qing moved out two big arrow towers out of thin air, but without any pause in his movements, he turned around and picked up the two two-handed swords carried by the tribe behind him and swung them forward. The gnolls surrounded by him roared They all rushed to the battlefield.

Gnolls don't have any tactics at all, they don't have the concept of tactics and command.

More than 300 kobolds and more than 100 jackals rushed forward, and the infantry in the front row was immediately under great pressure.

Fortunately, all the archers withdrew to the top of the arrow tower, and the infantry had no worries and could fight with all their strength.

As the captain of the infantry, An Yiqiu naturally fought at the front. He roared with his heroic power shock, and the kobolds around him were in chaos. They rushed everywhere in fear, but they couldn't get anywhere on the crowded battlefield. Instead, it affected the Wolf man behind.

An Yiqiu is taking the route of a functional hero. The two hero skills are not directly lethal, but they are very useful on the battlefield.

However, his roar immediately attracted the attention of the wolf leader. Larson, who was about to rush towards one of the arrow towers, suddenly turned around and roared halfway, and a large number of kobolds quickly parted a way. The red light began to light up, and the whole person seemed to be burning with blood.

With a sharp stamp of his right foot, he leaped five or six meters into the air and rushed towards the infantry phalanx.

The powerful threat made An Yiqiu shudder, and suddenly raised his head to look at the leader of the jackals falling like a red meteor, holding a shield in his left hand in front of him, his body bent slightly in a posture to accept the impact.

"boom!"

The bloody meteor hit the steel shield in Zhong'an Yiqiu's hand hard, and with a loud noise, a circle of thick blood exploded, rushing all the kobolds around and flying backwards, and the human infantry who were close back repeatedly fell on the ground. On the rear infantry.

And An Erqiu, who was directly impacted, was directly sent flying by the huge force, hit the ground a few times, and got up awkwardly with the long sword in his right hand supporting the ground.

Raising his trembling left hand, the two-finger-thick steel shield was forcibly split by this sword.

"What a powerful force!"

An Erqiu knew in his heart that he was no match for this jackal hero.

With a turn of his right hand, he turned the round shield in a circle, and moved the part that was split to the bottom, ready to meet the opponent's attack.

But Larson, who landed on the ground, let out a roar, but did not attack. Instead, he turned around sharply, spread his hands, and turned quickly to the infantry shield formation on the side.

Berserker Hero Combat Technique - Whirlwind Slash, wielding a whirlwind of death on the battlefield.

It took less than two seconds from landing to Whirlwind. Even though An Erqiu quickly reacted and ordered the infantry to retreat, it was too late.

The whirlwind of death rushed into the infantry phalanx, and there was an instant tearing sound. The powerful force combined with the sharp two-handed sword forcibly tore off the chain mail of the second-tier senior infantry and the scale armor of the third-tier elite infantry.

"Fuck!"

Almost instantly, four infantrymen were torn apart and sent flying with blood spurting from their bodies.

Li Qing immediately said to Long Shou beside him:
"Block him and lead him out of the battlefield."

Long Shou nodded, dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, drew out his long sword, walked to the edge of the arrow tower and slid down.

At this time, Li Qing said to Xie Zhu next to him:

"Get ready and cooperate with Long Shou to kill it."

Xie Zhu nodded, and took out a fine steel arrow from his back and put it on the bow.

There are two kinds of arrows on his body, one is an ordinary wooden arrow, and the other is an armor-piercing arrow made of fine steel, which is specially used to kill powerful opponents.

When Long Shou came down from the arrow tower, Larson's whirlwind had already pierced through the infantry phalanx, and more than eight infantry fell to the ground covered in blood.

Li Qing blamed himself a little, why didn't Long Shou stay below, otherwise there wouldn't be these losses, which also exposed his immaturity in commanding troops.

But it’s just a bit of self-blame. As a newcomer, you always have to let reality teach you a lesson in order to have a deep memory.

After suffering this loss, you will know how to deal with the same or similar situation next time.

Generals die in hundreds of battles, and there is no one who is immortal in battle.

Right now, this kind of thing is nothing. After experiencing more tragic and cruel battles, more people will die at that time.

While he was blaming himself, Long Shou had already jumped down from the arrow tower, and the round of Whirlwind Slash by Wolf Man Larson had ended. Feeling Long Shou's undisguised powerful aura, he immediately turned his head, his expression changed rapidly. Have to dignify.

Without any hesitation, Long Shou raised his sword and rushed forward.

The leader of the wolf man, Larson, roared and rushed forward without fear.

Two little giants, one big and one small, quickly collided with each other, and the two swords clashed with each other with a crisp sound. Larson's blade was directly pressed down by the dragon guard, forcing the sword in his left hand that he was about to free to quickly press on the ground. On the back of the sword in his right hand, the joint efforts of both hands could barely support Long Shou's huge strength.

Although I don't know why Larson can have a body size of two meters, no matter how strong he is, it is impossible to compare his strength with Long Shou, who has the blood of a giant dragon. Press Larson up.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing felt relieved.

As long as it can be blocked, it will be easy to operate later.

Relatively speaking, An Yiqiu was more reassuring. He breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered the infantry to reorganize the defense line. The eight men who didn't know whether they were alive or dead could not be managed for the time being. Whether they survived could only depend on their own fate.

On the other side, Long Shou obeyed Li Qing's order just now, and after fighting the jackal Larson, he began to consciously pull the battlefield out of the main battlefield.

Both are strong generals, and their fighting style is open and close frontal collision. Every time the weapons of the two sides collide, there will be harsh sounds, and the wind of swords will sweep across. From time to time, kobolds who are close will be swept away by the aftermath.

If you rub it, you will be injured, and if you touch it, you will be disabled.

When the two sides left the main battlefield, Li Qing looked at Xie Zhu beside him. He had already put the fine steel arrow on the bow and started to charge.

However, just as he had just started to accumulate energy, the wolf lord Larson, who was in an inseparable battle with Long Shou, instantly sensed this powerful threat. After a wrestling with Long Shou, he looked up at On the arrow tower, he raised his head to the sky and let out a roar.

Then he suddenly murmured words that he couldn't hear clearly.

A few seconds later, the lines on his body quickly glowed with blood, and his figure swelled up a little.

The next second, Li Qing, who was in doubt, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the stone palace in the center of the wolf tribe.

At this moment, he sensed a strange fluctuation coming from the direction of the central stone palace of the wolf tribe.

At this moment, a palpitation suddenly rose from my heart.

"This is."

This feeling is very annoying.

It was only faintly felt before, but now it is very obvious.

Li Qing thought for a while, and shouted to the bottom:

"The infantry shrank the line of defense and approached the arrow tower."

An Yiqiu, who was fighting ahead, was a little puzzled, thinking that there was a sudden change, he immediately ordered the infantry to adjust their positions, commanding the infantry brigades to retreat alternately, with the injured infantry retreating first.

As for Long Shou on the other side, he didn't give any extra orders.

He just looked at Xie Zhu at the side. At this moment, he had already pulled the bow to its fullest, and had completed charging for five seconds, but he hadn't shot the arrow yet.

Li Qing just watched his bow stretched wide and aimed at the bottom, and kept moving left and right but never fired. Then he saw the dragon guard and the leader of the wolf man moving back and forth below, and he knew it.

"Dragon Guard, ray breath!"

Long Shou took a step back immediately, and opened his mouth, and a breath of threat came from the wolf man leader Larson. Larson immediately retracted his sword and retreated into a defensive posture.

When Long Shou charged up for two seconds, a blazing light shot out from his mouth, Larson immediately turned around, and the hero's combat skill Jump and Slash moved nearly ten meters horizontally.

At this moment, Li Qing felt a white light flashing around him from the corner of his eyes.

The next second, Larson, the leader of the gnolls who jumped to the ground, suddenly let out a scream of pain, and rolled back just as he landed.

The moment he landed, there would be a buffer to unload the force. Xie Zhu immediately seized the opportunity of this moment, charged up and hit Larson's waist with an arrow, and the thick steel arrow directly passed through the waist.

At the same time, Long Shou, who was exhaling dragon's breath, turned his head quickly, and the flaming dragon's breath swept across the ground, drawing a black scorched mark and quickly swept towards Larson.

Larson, who had no time to dodge, raised the sword in front of him without hesitation, and the next moment the flame ray breath swept across the wide two-handed sword, and a large flame exploded, and the blade quickly turned red and melted quickly, but Larson There are two two-handed swords, and the second is quickly blocked behind.

Long Shou's dragon's breath can only last for a few seconds. When it melts through the first sword, the rest of its energy can no longer penetrate the second sword.

But when he breathed out, Long Shou raised his sword and rushed forward to chop it down.

The leader of the wolf man hurriedly blocked with two swords, and with a crisp sound, the sword whose body was fused was broken directly, and the other was quickly bent during the wrestling between the two sides.

The metal would have softened by heating, let alone that much force on both sides.

The bent two-handed sword was naturally unusable. The leader of the wolf man let out a roar, and the magic pattern on his body suddenly lit up. The bloody aura erupted and pushed Long Shou back. He threw the curved sword in his hand, turned around and ran away.

As soon as the leader ran away, the morale of the fighting jackals and kobolds naturally plummeted.

The stalemate collapsed in an instant, and a large number of gnolls began to retreat.

However, Li Qing did not order the pursuit. Apart from continuing to shoot from a long distance, he told An Yiqiu not to pursue impulsively, but to quickly reorganize the formation.

The inexplicable feeling in the wolf man tribe just now made him feel palpitations. Li Qing suspected that there might be other powerful heroes hidden in the wolf man tribe. That's the end of the hero.

There was not enough troops in the early stage, and there was no capital to make waves.

The jackals and kobolds quickly closed the city gate after they fled back, and the two sides continued to confront each other temporarily, but the archers on the arrow tower could use their height advantage to continuously tilt their arrows towards the jackals and kobolds on the wooden wall.

There are many throwers among the kobolds, and there are also many long-range throwers among the gnolls.

But no matter whether it is a throwing stone or a javelin, the range is far inferior to that of a bow.

So they can only be passively shot, unable to fight back.

After a while, the gnolls and kobolds on the nearby wooden wall were all suppressed and hid behind the dart boards, not daring to show up.

On the other side, the leader of the wolf man, Larson, fled back to the tribe and immediately rushed to the tall stone palace in the center of the tribe, regardless of his subordinates, and disappeared after entering.

After a while, a strange sound came from the stone hall, and then a faint gray mist exploded around the stone hall, and then many figures slowly walked out of the tents inside and outside the tribe.

Li Qing saw through the dim light of the fire that those figures were ordinary kobolds. They closed their eyes as if they were sleepwalking, shaking their bodies and gathering towards the center.

"What is this?"

In the next second, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Li Qing's mind:
"Isn't this the original ancestor totem?"

Li Qing seems to have read in some book when he was in the library in the tutor's castle before that some primitive intelligent species tribes will give birth to primitive ancestor totems because of long-term sacrifices to their ancestors, and they may also be earth-only or earth-bound spirits and the like exist.

Or in popular terms, this is the original belief in the gods.

It's just that some tribes are not strong enough.

Or the current plane is not enough to support the birth of divinity.

It is also possible that the way of belief is wrong, and other things are mixed in it, which makes the belief not pure enough, or other factors affect it.

To be honest, there are many influencing factors, and Li Qing doesn't know exactly what is in this wolf man tribe.

But that kind of evil fluctuation can be sure that the thing born in this wolf man tribe is definitely not a good thing.

This is good and bad news for Li Qing.

The good news naturally means that if this tribe can be defeated, the benefits obtained will be much better than previously imagined, and it is possible to obtain some extraordinary treasures.

The bad news is that the danger level of this tribe is much higher than previously expected, and he may not be able to beat it.
