In the alleys of CheLun Town
Tassanya, dragging a male warrior whose fate was unknown, walked up to Leila and bowed slightly:
“Lady Leila, this is the only third-tier servant I can contact.”
Upon hearing this, Leila took out a small notebook, looked at the contents of the notebook, and said:
"Then let's go find the second-tier ones next."
"The master only told you to complete the fourth task, but didn't say how to do it."
"In that case, Tassanya, you should try to weaken as many combat forces as possible before tomorrow."
Tassanya bowed respectfully:
"Yes, all for the master."
The two slowly walked towards the exit of the alley.
Suddenly, the two stopped and looked at each other.
Feeling the increased power within their bodies, both of them realized what was happening.
The owner has started.
Chapter 48 Points Soar
East of Wheel Town, on the Slime Plain.
The necromancers, dressed in grey and white vulture robes, split into two groups and approached the slime corpses that had just been killed by the knights from the left and right sides.
The person on the left, who was in the lead, raised a white skull staff, from which countless gray-white ghosts sprang forth.
They twisted and turned in the air, their faces contorted as they burrowed toward the fallen second-tier slime corpse.
Behind the person on the left, the other necromancers also raised their staffs.
The ghosts released from the staff burrowed into the other Tier 1 slime corpses on the ground.
As strands of grayish-white ghosts were injected into the slime's corpse.
The slime that had been dead suddenly started moving again. Its shattered pieces slowly pieced themselves together and it began to stand up.
【Soul Infusion】: The necromancer can manipulate the power of the undead and infuse it into the corpse, giving it a certain consciousness and making it obey the necromancer's control.
The remaining slimes, seeing their companion resurrected, had their eyes flashing crimson.
They could smell that the resurrected companions smelled different from before.
Some of the slimes lunged at the newly resurrected slimes.
"Pop...pop!"
The slime that had come back from the dead made a sound like a gear without lubrication, and under the control of the necromancer, it lunged at its living companion.
In an instant, the resurrected slime corpse and the living slime began to wrestle together.
However, only a minority of the slimes died.
It was clear that the slime corpse controlled by the vulture was about to be torn to pieces again by the dense swarm of second-tier slimes.
Grayish-white blades materialized and shot out from the staffs of the necromancers on the right.
The firepower was focused on the second-tier slimes that were fighting the corpses.
At the same time, mournful sighs came from the group of necromancers behind them, and the second-tier slimes visibly paused for a moment.
[Undead Blade] + [The Lament of the Dead].
A series of explosions and roars rang out, and one after another, the second-tier slimes collapsed, turning into new slime corpses.
On the left, some necromancers continued casting [Soul Infusion], manipulating new corpses. Others began drawing power from the souls on the field.
The two groups of people alternate in a cycle.
The situation on the field gradually changed, and the number of controlled slime corpses began to increase.
Grand Master Ecklaus of the Knights was somewhat bewildered by what he was seeing.
How did vultures end up here?
He had never heard of these guys who ate the dead joining the battlefield on their own initiative.
"Ecklaus, what are you standing there for? What do we do now?!"
The woman in black robes standing to the side asked.
Ecklaus was genuinely at a loss for what to do.
According to the original plan, they were supposed to have a symbolic fight on the first day.
They pretended to desperately defend the city for several hours, sacrificing some of their men and killing a few low-level slimes.
Then the slime will pretend to be repelled.
I'll have no choice but to announce my retreat when the high-level slime appears tomorrow afternoon.
After witnessing the appearance of the high-ranking slime, the nobles will begin to evacuate Wheel Town.
Leaving behind a bunch of slimes, they began the subsequent packaging and transportation without any hindrance.
At that time, this land reclamation project will be considered complete.
But the appearance of the vulture left him somewhat bewildered.
This is clearly the time to counterattack. How could we not fight?
Even acting isn't done like this.
Looking at the soldiers, their faces filled with anticipation as they awaited his command,
Ecklaus sighed slightly, having made his decision.
If you go all out on the act, what if you win?
Besides, these damn slimes...
The familiar faces that had just been swallowed whole by the slime flashed through Ekraus's mind, and his gaze turned heavy.
Although they knew that the current favorable battle situation was due to the fact that the high-ranking slimes had not yet arrived,
Ecklaus quickly gave the order:
"Forward squad, change formation! Berserkers, charge! Paladins, provide cover!"
"The healing team's target has been changed to the Berserker!"
"The ranged squad should focus fire on the heavily wounded slimes and try to kill them!"
"The reconnaissance team will scout around the healing team to prevent any stragglers from breaking into the formation."
"Hit me!!!"
【Tactical Rotation】 has been changed to 【Tactical Inspiration】!
For a time,
The explosions of various magical missiles filled the battlefield, while the roars of slimes and the shouts of the knights rose and fell.
The warrior's blood and slime's sap stained the entire sky a pale red, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air.
Everyone present was completely immersed in this all-out war.
No one noticed.
Under the cover of billowing dust from the battle, amidst the chaos of combat,
A figure dressed in a vulture robe, wildly waving a skull staff in his left hand, charged headlong into the pile of slimes, rampaging through them.
Beneath the wide robe and hat was Luo Xiu's excited face.
It’s been done.
His right hand was hidden beneath his vulture robe, and he held a sharp dagger in his hand.
Whenever he passed by a slime with low health, he would slash down with his dagger to finish it off.
[Host has killed a small slime, points +2]
[Host has killed a medium-sized slime, points +5]
……
Seeing his available points rapidly increasing, Luo Xiu didn't hesitate and immediately started adding points.
First is physique, then agility and magic power.
Luo Xiu had 28 points before the battle began. He kept only the last 20 points and used all the other points to add to his stats as soon as he gained them.
After all, the faster your strength increases, the faster you can kill slimes and the faster you can add points.
Amidst the ringing system notifications, Luo Xiu felt the changes in his body and was overjoyed.
This is an unprecedented rate of growth.
He pushed off with his feet, weaving through the slime horde like a phantom. Wherever he went, the slimes, already battered and bruised by magic and spells, fell to the ground.
In no time, the number of slimes on the field had decreased by twenty or thirty.
As the number of slimes on the field dwindled, even the most frenzied slimes eventually realized something was wrong.
The opponent's combat strength seems to be much stronger than I imagined.
They watched the fierce battle amidst the billowing dust, the clamor and chaos almost obscuring Luo Xiu's increasingly agile figure.
And every time the smoke clears, all that's left inside is a pile of slime corpses.
A second-tier slime that looked larger than the others roared angrily.
Its intelligence is clearly a bit higher than that of other slimes.
He felt this was definitely a human scheme, a pretense of making an agreement to prevent his side from deploying high-level combatants.
Then, take advantage of the absence of their own high-level combatants to launch a surprise attack.
Despicable humans!!!
