Chapter 160 Passive guarding? Take the initiative to clean up!
Pate's attitude towards protecting the territory is more cautious than that of Old Bill.
He was not as optimistic as Bill, who thought that monsters were easy to deal with and could be destroyed easily.
In the battle before arriving in the Misty Valley, he and Gale were able to deal with it easily because they were on the outskirts of the dark forest and most of the monsters were level 0 and level 1.
The magic released by a third-level mage is already incredibly powerful.
What's more, they have still lifted the restriction of spell slots. Many other adventurers see small-scale monster lairs that they can only take a detour from. Peter and the others can directly use level 3 magic to kill them.
But it’s different deeper in the dark forest!
Level 2, level 3 and even higher level monsters are entrenched in the depths of the forest, where the evil god's pollution is more serious, so even more terrifying deformed monsters can be born.
Peter was worried about whether there would be attacks from higher-level monsters.
Fortunately, the mission oracle sent down by Novan made him feel relieved.
[Task: Protect the Altar of Creation]
[Description: The gray fog is about to dissipate, and a large number of monsters are approaching the Altar of Creation. They will gather near the Misty Valley and launch an offensive in 7 days, intending to destroy the miraculous creation of the God of Knowledge]
【Target】
Destroy level 0 monsters 0/185
Destroy level 1 monsters 0/31
Destroy level 2 monsters 0/7
[Reward: Activate territory development and construction series tasks]
“Praise the God of knowledge!”
"It would be easier if we knew the number of monsters!"
What Pet was most worried about was that there would be no high-level monsters that could not be resisted.
When monsters attack, the most fearful thing is actually unclear information.
This is especially obvious during the monster red tide.
Without knowing the number and strength of the incoming monsters, it is impossible to prepare corresponding defense forces in advance.
If you are under-prepared, your defenses will be overwhelmed; if you are over-prepared, it will be a waste of combat power.
If the scale of the attack can be known in advance, it is comparable to having a full view of the map in a war, and the intelligence advantage is huge.
However, even if there was no attack from high-level monsters, Peter was still worried about the scale of the attack.
Because according to his observations a few days ago, with the current combat effectiveness of the 30 believers in the valley, except for him, Gale, Brandon, Miranda and Reina, although the others can barely be regarded as level 1 professionals, they are really There isn't much fighting power.
What they are good at is reclaiming wasteland for farming, raising animals, and building houses.
Fighting is not their strong suit.
Even if everyone can fight with all their strength, they may have to pay a lot of damage in order to barely eliminate these monsters.
Apart from the Altar of Creation, there is nothing in the valley now, and there is not even a decent house. They now have to pitch a tent to spend the night.
It is absolutely a waste to let the life-oriented citizens who can promote the development of the territory die in the battle.
Peter was thinking about how to coordinate everyone to fight with all their strength and minimize losses when he suddenly realized.
"Huh? Wait, it seems...something's not right?"
Pate became aware of a detail in a mission description.
"They will gather near the Misty Valley?"
"Oh! I understand!"
Peter had a bold idea.
Call the other 4 people together.
"Tell me, is there a possibility?"
"Actually, the Lord has already given us guidance."
"Why wait until 7 days to prevent the monster attack in 7 days!"
"Didn't the oracle say that the monsters will gather nearby first?"
"The mission requirements only require us to destroy these monsters, but they don't say when they will be eliminated!"
"Why 7 days later?"
"These seven days are clearly reminding us that we should take the initiative to deal with them!"
"It's difficult to deal with them all at once, but wouldn't it be much easier to break them up like we did with the Blood Fang Gang?" "Doing this can definitely minimize the damage, even if we can If we destroy them all before the gray fog dissipates, will the monster attack be over?"
"That must be the case!"
The more Pete thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very reliable!
He must have once again succeeded in interpreting the will of the oracle of the God of Knowledge.
…
"You must be tall!" Noven noticed Pet's unique thinking and was convinced.
This guy's reading comprehension has never been correct, and he can even think of strange directions every time.
The gray fog "dissipating" is a reminder prepared by Noven for the believers.
In fact, the gray fog that permeates the outside of the valley can be regarded as a kind of protection unique to Noven, and will prevent other people and monsters from entering.
By temporarily removing the gray fog, the irrational monsters nearby will detect the atmosphere of civilization in the valley.
When the evil gods saw Noven's followers, one or two ran faster than anyone else;
These irrational monsters are different from the evil gods that pollute them. They are unaware of danger and only spread chaos and destruction. , so I dared to rush over and attack.
Novin can use this to manually create a small-scale "monster red tide".
The number of monsters marked in the mission is actually the number of monsters that came after Noven briefly removed the gray fog and sensed the atmosphere of civilization after the believers entered the valley.
Novin does not intend to use the gray mist to protect the believers forever, as that will only make them fall into comfort and lose their fighting spirit.
It won't take long for the believers to discover that as long as the gray mist protects them, neither monsters nor others can get in.
This place is even more powerful than the protection of [Past Glory].
But there is only so much gray fog near the Misty Valley, and it is only this valley that can be enveloped.
We can’t let the believers stay in the valley forever, right?
Now he is in the state of "Xuanquanquan"!
He can't play with the evil gods, those guys are all crazy;
His identity as a god in the past, no matter whether he is good or evil, he cannot fit into the circle of the righteous gods in this era anyway, and he might even be declared war by the churches of the righteous gods!
One disadvantage is that everyone in the world is an enemy, and all mortal monsters must be defeated.
Novin intends to use this method to remind believers that they need to improve their strength and be ready to face danger at any time, and not to eat and die in the shelter.
It turned out that Peter was lucky, and he was surprised to find a way to fix the bug.
In a sense.
Pet Qingqi's idea is also correct.
There are many ways to address hazards.
In addition to staying in the misty valley and waiting for the monster attack to arrive;
Killing all the nearby monsters in advance can indeed solve the attack crisis!
Noven hesitated for a while and sighed.
"Oh... forget it! That's okay!"
"As long as they don't plan to hide in the valley all the time, I will have achieved my goal!"
…
With a plan, they were extremely efficient.
The small-scale red tide of monsters originally designed by Noven directly turned into an action where believers took the initiative to search for monsters and eliminate them near the misty valley!
Don’t say 7 days!
In less than four days, they found the last level 0 monster near the valley through a blanket search!
In a daze, he killed all the monsters that Nuowen had seduced, and not a single one was left!
Noven had no choice but to release in advance the development tasks he was preparing to guide the believers in building the territory:
[The series of tasks for territory construction have been released! 】
【Complete the series of tasks to unlock the lord campaign! 】
…
Presented at the fifth update! After thinking about it, I stopped writing about battles and chapters. I will just write it all in one stroke. The focus is on the subsequent recruitment and construction of the territory.
