Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 130 Bloodthirsty Night
At that moment, Li Wei suddenly sensed a slightly violent vibration emanating from the raven skull in his arms. It seemed that the black-robed witch was using some kind of secret method to give some kind of command to the large raven in the sky, or to transmit some kind of message!
In that instant, Li Wei immediately recalled the scene of the black-robed witch hijacking the prison cart.

The giant raven delivered the message, and the bandits, upon receiving it, went to rob the prison wagon. As for herself, she attempted a flanking attack, basically following the pattern of artillery bombardment followed by infantry charge, and infantry charge followed by artillery bombardment.

This black-robed witch is both a scout and a key player, but she can never quite get into rhythm.

Does this mean that a gang of bandits is hiding in the forest east of the creek?
She was ordering the raven to deliver a message, intending to intercept and kill the five of them outside the camp.

Or perhaps we could take the opportunity to attack the city?
At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Li Wei's mind. On the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant, but in reality, he gritted his teeth and made a decision: if he didn't take down the witch on the other side, this city defense battle would definitely not be easy.

However, after walking less than a hundred meters forward, a rapid gong sounded from the camp behind them!

Emergency!
Immediately afterward, more than a dozen torches appeared in the forest on the east bank of the stream, accompanied by loud noises, just as Li Wei had predicted.

"Brother, we have to go back and provide support immediately!"

"Sir, the bandits have attacked the city! We must prioritize defending it!"

"George, if we don't retreat now, our escape route will be cut off!"

Leon, Clyde, and Old John spoke at the same time. They were all surprised, but not too surprised, because they had all been on the chaotic killing battlefield and returned alive. How could they be scared by such a small show of force!
Li Wei looked at them, and the dim starlight could not hide the joy hidden in their surprised expressions.

Yes, it's exhilarating.

Your head of the family acted rashly and recklessly, leading the main force out of the city in a panic. You almost fell into the enemy's feint, ended up in a sorry state, and ultimately missed the opportunity to defend the city, resulting in significant losses to your family's property. Isn't this a ready-made excuse for impeachment?
So they weren't worried about bandits attacking the city, or even about the so-called witch; they just wanted Li Wei to suffer!

This elementary school student was too dazzling and flamboyant, and as a result, he took too big a step and now he's finally pulled the egg!

Haha!

You little gambling addict!

But Li Wei chuckled to himself at that moment; he wasn't a gambling addict!

"Silence! Don't panic! I'm sure the witch is in the quarry. Charge in and kill her, and we'll solve all the problems once and for all!"

Li Wei suddenly roared fiercely, his eyes contorted with rage, like a ferocious beast!

Then, regardless of what others wanted to say or do, he charged forward first.

Ah, this is exactly the effect I wanted!

First of all, Li Wei, as the head of the family, has just declared a state of war, with war as the top priority. You can't say, "Oh, there are some things to do at home." All excuses are useless!
Secondly, Li Wei is the head of the family. He has already launched the attack, why aren't you following suit?

You dare not follow!
Not following this rule will result in a serious NG (no good) penalty, which won't just be a random loss of a few attributes!
It's double!
So for a moment, even Clyde, who had always been calm and shrewd, felt a chill run down his spine and his back go cold! Cold sweat was about to break out.

This recent elementary school graduate is so damn difficult to deal with!
Leon frantically winked at Clyde, pleading for advice from his advisors. Damn it, in wartime, even item cards are unusable!

"Follow the master, protect the master!"

Clyde could only shout out these words in the end: there was no more hesitation. Serious mistakes would be punished twice as severely. In other words, any attempt to slack off or hold back during the battle was strictly forbidden.

The only hope now is that there is no witch in this quarry. If that happens, we can settle scores later and impeach Li Wei on the grounds of missing a battle opportunity!

It would be even more perfect if Fila and Penny were to die and Penny injured, respectively. No need for impeachment, the head of the family would be dismissed on the spot! He would be removed from his post and subjected to a six-month punishment!
So, whether you're Fila or Penny, please face your deaths calmly for everyone's benefit.

Let's gamble! Let's take a gamble!
As Clyde strode after him, Leon quickly realized what was happening, along with Sophie and old John. Yes, they had no choice but to gamble. Could the four of them possibly lose to just one person?

We don't believe it. You don't have a pet crow, nor a third eye, yet you're so sure the witch is up here? Stop with the fantasy—hmm, what's that smell?
It smells a bit bad!
A gentle evening breeze brought tranquility to the night, but also an indescribable stench—the stench of decay.

At that moment, the expressions of the gambling addicts all changed.

Immediately afterward, under the dim starlight, a tall figure walked down the steep slope above the quarry, standing at least two and a half meters tall!
He's so big, he's like a different world version of the Mountain!
Key features include a full-body armor of thick steel, a heavy bucket helmet that only exposes the eyes, and a two-handed sword on his back that looks like a guillotine!
Damn, what is this thing?
"Ouch!"

A wolf howl rang out, and two mutated blood wolves appeared from another direction. One of them carried the black-robed witch. With a flap of its wings, a large raven landed. Well, they've got a new pet.

This time, Li Wei's scalp tingled!
Can you beat it?

"Protect your lord!"

The good news is that at this moment, these veterans finally came into play. Clyde roared and stood in front of Li Wei with his small round shield, while Leon drew a two-handed sword that was clearly two sizes smaller and protected Li Wei's right side.

Have no idea!

Now that things had come to this, Clyde realized that they had been outmaneuvered by Li Wei.

The camp has walls, and Fila and Penny are both seasoned veterans who have survived the chaotic battlefields of slaughter. They can stabilize the situation for the time being, but it's normal for the bandits to cause a lot of damage to the camp, such as destroying his one-star steel furnace.

However, the decisive moment in this war truly lies here: slay the witch and you win!
Then there's nothing more to say. Give it your all, fight tooth and nail to avoid any mistakes and minimize losses!
"George! Is that you, George!"

At this moment, the black-robed witch on the other side spoke, her voice soft and melodious, like a female ghost calling out to her lover in the dead of night.

"I'm so happy to know you're not dead. It's me, Missy. We may have had a misunderstanding before, but now we can make up."

"George, look at me! I'm still your fiancée!"

As she spoke, the black-robed witch suddenly lifted her black veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, classically elegant and flawless, which was incomparable to the previous version of the fake Missy.

Because this is the real Missy.

But it's pointless. Cooperation isn't that easy. Didn't you see any messages popping up?

These are natural enemies—

As the head of the family, you have the authority to decide whether to reconcile with your aunt Luna, fiancée Missy, and sister-in-law Hathaway! Your decision will continue the story of the Abyss's Image!

What the hell? A message actually popped up!

But is it better to keep the old ways or just stay? Who misspelled the words "profound" and "abyss"? And is it about influence or imagery...?

[Error! The target is unforgivable and non-negotiable. Eliminate them immediately!]

Another line of bloody information appeared! (Emphasis added!)
I'm so happy!

Li Wei shuddered, suddenly realizing that the pop-up information was also unreliable!

He immediately shouted!
"kill!"

At the same time, he instantly switched to the Dog Slayer title, increasing his agility to 15 points. Then, he drew his bow, aimed at the black-robed witch, and fired an arrow!
Whether it hits or not doesn't matter; the important thing is that this is the signal to start the war!

"Snapped!"

Li Wei's arrow seemed to have suddenly struck a transparent barrier, which shattered instantly like glass, but the arrow also fell to the ground.

The black-robed witch quickly manipulated the mutated blood wolf to retreat, causing Old John's arrow, fired from over twenty meters away, to miss its target.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the massive, fully armored figure, resembling a demon mountain, charged down the steep slope and leaped up at the last, more than three-meter-high section, unleashing a furious slash!

It was like Mount Tai pressing down, and even stirred up a strong wind!
What the hell!
What level of monster is this?

"spread!"

"Everyone spread out!"

Li Wei and Clyde roared at the same time and then scattered in unison. At this moment, it became clear how excellent the bonus from 15 points of agility was.

Clyde and Leon could only dash wildly to the sides, while Li Wei was able to dash rapidly to the right, as if drawing an arc. He easily dodged the giant monster's greatsword slash while rushing to the side and front of the monster, closing to within ten meters of it.

At this moment, he discarded the two-star composite bow without hesitation and drew the two-star bloodthirsty spear with lightning speed!

Then, the instant the massive, fully armored monster landed, he took three running steps, switched to the Bear Hunter title, instantly raising his strength to 17 points, and naturally mobilized all his strength, converging it onto the two-star Bloodthirsty Spear!

Woo!
A whistling sound burst forth, and the bloodthirsty spear, leaving no afterimage, pierced through the eye grille of the opponent's helmet with unparalleled precision!

"boom!"

A tremendous explosion occurred. Even though the location was small, it was useless. 17 points of force was almost equivalent to the combined strength of two adults!
It blasted open the helmet's grille and tore it open, creating a hole the size of a fist!
All of this happened very quickly!
It was almost instantaneous.

The process of Li Wei drawing the two-star Bloodthirsty Spear and taking a running start to throw it was so smooth it was terrifying!

While the others were still figuring out how to respond, his Bloodthirsty Spear had already drawn blood with a single shot!

Because of the chosen throwing mode, starting from 12 points, each additional point of strength increases the armor penetration success rate by 10%, so 17 points of strength is equivalent to an additional 50% armor penetration rate.

In addition, the armor-piercing damage of the steel spearhead of the two-star Bloodthirsty Spear was so great that even though the monster's helmet was very thick, it was still blasted with a large hole, which went straight into the skull and penetrated at least 20 centimeters deep. Filthy blood and various other fragments gushed out one by one!
"Dangdang!"

The huge monster fell to the ground, its face up.

Instant kill!
