Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 177 Scout Leader

"Wait, there are too many people."

Wang Yue and his men entered the activity range of the troll scouts, but did not act rashly.

In addition to the troll lying on the farmland, there was also a stone house in the farmhouse that had not collapsed.

Since the windmill is made of wood, the farmhouse that is hundreds of years old should also be made of wood. The stone house must have been built by the trolls later, and there might be a leader-level monster inside.

"There are twenty outside, and maybe two hundred inside. You stay where you are and wait for me to lure the monsters out."

The Lost Soul's ability in one-on-one combat is still not strong, and if it gets involved in a melee, its combat power will drop greatly.

Therefore, the tactic Wang Yue thought of was to rely on the undead to attract hatred, draw the attention of the trolls, and then lure the single target back to the main force.

"Go ahead, Skull Wolf."

The highest level of the undead summoned by the first-level bone fragment is 19, and they will no longer be able to be helpful in the future. Wang Yue should spend them all while he can use them now.

The fast-moving Skeleton Wolf rushed into the local border area. The troll scout who was slacking off immediately stood up and raised his hand to use [Freeze and Slow].

The running skeleton's limbs were covered with frost and it struggled hard on the snow, but it couldn't run fast.

The troll that arrived punched and bit the skeleton wolf, and the fragile body turned back into pieces.

"Keep going, don't let it go back."

The first summon dies and the second one takes over.

The new skeleton wolf took a symbolic bite, turned around and was caught up by the troll again on the way back, and was smashed to pieces after two more attacks.

"I'm going to get on, get ready to strengthen me."

Wang Yue raised his rapier, and the troll that was attracted had already noticed him.

The Lost Soul filled the Bone Spike with holy light and used [Strength Amplification] on Wang Yue again.

“I felt the power surge out of my body.”

Wang Yue's attack has light attribute damage, and as long as it hits the enemy, all targets in the fan-shaped area will suffer heavy damage.

But this is not enough, the bone spurs filled with energy begin to drip blood, and the skills are ready.

"You go ahead and beat it to death with random punches."

The protagonist must stay until the last appearance and keep the head for himself.

The Lost Souls who received the order raised their wooden hammers and surrounded the elite monsters. With one blow from each of them, the Troll Scout's health was reduced to only one third.

"Everyone, move away. Look at me bleeding and stabbing."

This is Wang Yue’s strongest attack now, aimed at the weak point on the troll’s neck.

The tip of the sword pierced through the troll's [Ice Armor], and blue blood gushed out of the wound. Then, light energy burst out, and the exploding light spot completely devoured the troll.

[Damage caused: 492 (weak point)]

[Damage caused: 200]

After killing the enemy instantly with one strike, not even a body was left behind, and the spoils of war worth more than a dozen copper coins automatically entered Wang Yue's backpack.

From attracting monsters to killing them, the whole process is safe and efficient, it just costs materials and mana.

Fortunately, Wang Yue is no longer short of materials today. If his mana is insufficient, he can use [Dark Energy Extraction] to "eat" the materials and recover quickly.

"Let's get on with it and don't be lazy."

The skeleton wolves continued to gallop across the ice field, and there were fewer and fewer trolls near the farmland.

Finally, after all the trolls on the ground disappeared, the door of the huge stone house opened.

[Warning: Emergency Battle]

The name of the troll comes from its appearance, which is as ugly as a monster and larger than ordinary wild beasts.

But the one who is truly called a "troll" is not the three-meter-tall troll scout, but the [Scout Leader Deco] who makes the ground tremble as soon as he appears.

[Scout Leader Deco: The chief of the troll scouts, seven meters tall just when sitting]

【Level: 22】

Troll Scouts are elite monsters, and the stats of Scout Leaders are only higher.

"Xiao Nuo, send me the monster panel."

"Message has been sent, please check."

Dirk swung up the remaining half of the windmill, and a red range damage warning appeared on the ground.

The retreat route was blocked by an invisible wall of air, and there was no way to retreat.

"Spread out to the left and right, concentrate the light energy, and we will crush it with hand-to-hand combat."

The obedient Lost Souls ran to the sides, just avoiding the falling windmill.

The scout leader did not stop. Not satisfied with just throwing the windmill, he also demolished the stone house and threw huge rocks at the approaching Lost Souls.

"Hey you, move to the left a little. Hey you, stop and don't move."

In panic, Wang Yue had no choice but to pray that the system could understand who he was calling.

Miraculously, the brainless Lost Souls actually understood his orders, and except for the designated units, the other Lost Souls continued to attack.

"Sure enough, our culture is extensive and profound."

As the main output force, Wang Yue would certainly not fall behind. He commanded the Lost Souls to dodge the attacks and did not forget to summon the Undead to harass the targets.

"Skeleton trolls, let your leader taste your unique skills."

The giant skeleton stood up again. They used [Freeze Slow], and frost crawled up the troll leader's knees, slowing down even the action of lifting stones.

The first Lost Soul arrived at the feet of [Scout Leader Deco], and the broken mark formed by the holy light took effect where the wooden hammer hit.

Then comes the second and third.

More and more shattering effects appeared, and more and more men arrived at the feet of the scout leader, and its health decreased rapidly like a roller coaster.

There were no longer enough stones to throw, the stone house had been completely demolished by it.

As the scout leader, it felt there was no hope of survival and turned around and ran away.

"Bluffing me? It must be a trap."

Wang Yue ordered his men to retreat, as he did not want any Lost Souls to be killed.

Then a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. Both sides were retreating, but because of the emergency battle, the battlefield had a boundary, and both sides could no longer retreat because of the boundary.

"Don't move. I'll go up and find out about it by myself."

The scout leader's health is only 5% left. Although it is a bit dangerous, it is enough for Wang Yue herself.

Opposite him, the leader monster was hitting the air wall, but no matter how hard he tried, there was not a single crack in the invisible barrier.

"It doesn't seem like it's a sign of a big move. Does it really want to escape?"

As a stronger elite monster, its performance is too poor. Apart from throwing items with area damage, its two skills are useless.

One is [Frost Slow] which slows down the group, and the other is [Frost Shock] which causes area damage.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the information Xiao Nuo gave me? Or is there something wrong with this leader?"

Wang Yue really wanted to understand the reason, but he was now in a parallel space with an emergency battle, and he could only get out by killing the enemy.

He was close to his target and made a tentative first thrust.

[Damage caused: 366]

The damage amplification effect of [Fragile] is still retained. After this attack, the monster's health is only 2%.

Unable to escape and with his health almost running low, the scout leader was finally forced into a corner.

[Warning: Frost Shock]

The scout leader raised his hands above his head, and his fists alone were two meters wide.

The wind and snow gathered in the monster's hands, and the hands covered with ice crystals were about to smash down hard.

"Fancy, I poke."

The simple stab made the monster's health bar disappear, and the condensed ice energy turned into white mist and snowed overhead.

The battle is over, the unbreakable wall of air is finally there.

The scout leader who tried to escape finally took the last step and let the body fall outside the border.

"Your duty is to act as a scout, but my goal is to root out the problem completely."

The battle went so smoothly because the Lost Soul's skills were so powerful.

The cumulative damage of [Fragile] is specially designed for BOSS. It is hard to imagine how powerful the opponents that the Lost Souls could challenge would be if they were in their prime.
