Chapter 40 Scouts with 4 Characteristics
With one more tent, Xu Lai could arrange things more calmly, but this sudden battle in the middle of the night still left Xu Lai unable to balance.
With no other choice, Xu Lai had to take in the witch who had nowhere to go in the tent where he and Su Ya were resting.
The new scouts are too full of energy to take a rest, so they and the shooters with the most energy are responsible for patrolling and guarding.
[Scout] Level 4 warrior, each consumes 1 unit of food per day, basic mana: 100.
Features 1. Sprinting: You can gain 5 minutes of sprinting time every hour, and your movement speed increases by 40% (sprinting can accumulate up to 25 minutes).
2. Invisibility: Spend 10 mana points to enter the invisible state, which lasts for 1 hour and can be invisible twice a day.
Note: Any attack or hostile behavior will lose the invisibility effect.
3. Stealing: Spend 10 mana points to steal from the target. The success probability for targets of the same level is 15% (the success probability increases by 5% for each level higher than the target, and decreases by 5% for each level higher than the target). Probability of success)
4. Reconnaissance: Have the ability to draw maps and conduct independent reconnaissance (cannot initiate attacks actively during reconnaissance state)
The scout, like the longbowman and witch, is a level 4 unit and still uses double daggers. Unlike the rogue, he has an additional crossbow. The attack range is only 50 meters, but he can fire three arrows in a row.
The scout is equipped with a hand crossbow, but not a crossbow bolt. This means that this thing can only be used once in a battle. If you want to use it next time, you must sleep for 8 hours first.
The scout's equipment is similar to that of the rogue. He is still wearing leather armor, but the quality has obviously been greatly improved.
In addition, scouts do not suddenly become rough like longbowmen.
Relatively speaking, although the scouts are taller than the farmers, they have not gained much weight and are still slim.
This appearance made Xu Lai extremely doubtful of his fighting ability. With his figure, his strength probably didn't exceed 10 points.
However, although the combat effectiveness is questionable, this guy has a total of 4 characteristics. You must know that the long archer who is also a 4th level has none of them.
Of course, having no characteristics does not mean that the strength is weak. The long archer's big bow and two-handed sword are extremely terrifying, whether in long-range or melee combat, okay?
After sleeping soundly all night, Xu Lai did not sleep well in the second half of the night. Firstly, he was worried that his camp would be attacked by orcs, and secondly, the smell of blood from the big-eared monster not far away was too strong. .
Xu Lai remembered that Chief Lachi said that their village had been attacked long before the hero arrived, and the orc hero last night obviously came at about the same time as Xu Lai.
How could a hero who hadn't even set foot in the camp have any animal control skills to control the prairie wolves? If he had this ability, he would have joined forces with the group of prairie wolves and captured Graim Village directly.
Heroes are not natives of this world. They have no scruples in this world.
Just like Xu Lai, the favorability of the entire stronghold camp was reduced by 5 points, which was a quite serious punishment, but he didn't take it seriously because he didn't care at all and didn't understand its meaning.
There are other orcs, this is an extremely simple inference, and he just killed an orc hero, how could he sleep well.
So at dawn, Xu Lai left the scout behind and ordered him to conduct a reconnaissance around the camp and Pingfeng Mountain.
Scouts have the ability to act and investigate independently, but this ability is different from that of generals. His independence is semi-independent.
The range that the scouts can move is no longer limited to the fixed range of Xu Lai's vision, but they cannot exceed the range specified by Xu Lai, nor can they leave Xu Lai too far. The furthest they can run is ten kilometers. The farmers were left to continue farming, a few militiamen were responsible for felling trees, the remaining archers patrolled the woods and camps, and Xu Lai led the archers and long archers into the village.
With the blessing of logistics, longbowmen are not cumbersome heavy infantry. Although they are horseless, they are not too slow.
Not to mention the horse archers, their riding skills are much better than those of Xu Lai and the others. It should be enough to have these two guards.
Xu Lai and the others were already old acquaintances in Gram Village. Although the two guards behind him had risen in rank, their faces remained roughly the same.
He found the village chief of Laqi with ease. As soon as he explained his intention, the village chief of Laqi took Xu Lai directly to the village altar and found the priest Rasha.
Lazi does not have the final say in the reward promised to Xu Lai. The reward from the temple still depends on what Rasha says.
Furthermore, Lacy originally did not think that Xu Lai had the ability to kill the orcs alone, so when he proposed the commission, he said that the entire village would go out with Xu Lai.
However, Lacy did not expect that Xu Lai would actually encounter an orc team, an orc team also led by a hero.
A hero and an ordinary orc have completely different meanings.
The so-called hero is a kind of invincible creature that combines force and magic; the stronger it is, the stronger the army it leads.
As long as they are given enough time to grow, even the leaders of the major camps are no match for the heroes.
The leaders have only accumulated riches, but they are either stronger than their own force or stronger than the terrible magic, so that the two can be combined into one. In history, only the ancient heroes during the war between the clans can do this. arrive.
So, a new hero, even if he is only level 1, will automatically have the same status as the lowest nobles in the human empire.
The rewards that a noble can give are naturally different from ordinary orcs, not to mention that this orc hero was killed by Xu Lai alone, and Gram Village did not help at all.
The two prairie horses that were promised as mission rewards have already gone into Xu Lai's pocket. The remaining heart of the castle depends on the attitude of the temple.
After drinking tea for half an hour, Pastor Rasha finally walked over from the altar.
As soon as he sat down, he said to Xu Lai: "I have used the altar to communicate with the temple. They attach great importance to the orc heroes and said that they will arrange for people to come over in the teleportation array immediately.
It's just that The nearest teleportation array is at Count Aini’s castle. It will take a long time to get from the castle to our village. It is estimated that there will be no news until at least the afternoon.”
"It will be afternoon. When the people from the temple arrive, I have to ask the village chief to send someone to inform me."
Laqi smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem with this."
Xu Lai nodded and said: "Although I was lucky enough to kill this orc hero, I don't think he could be the one who attacked your village."
Laqi smiled bitterly: "Of course we know this, God Yu has clearly mentioned the time when the heroes will arrive.
But it doesn’t matter. In order to give the heroes enough time to grow, although the arrival of heroes is random, they will never come to someone other than one’s own camp. in.
The appearance of this orc hero here at this time is enough to show that the orcs covet this grassland. Their people or troops must have crossed Pingfeng Mountain. ”
