Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 133 The Battle Ends
"Stop them! There are only three of these sons of bitches left. Don't let them get away!"

The bandits' shouts and curses echoed through the mountains, and the black-robed witch returned. Without the two blood wolves, she seemed even stronger.

The blood raven skull in Li Wei's arms would occasionally tremble, and now he was certain that this was the channel through which the black-robed witch controlled the giant raven.

She used the large crows to circle high in the sky to pinpoint the location of the three of them, and could quickly swoop down from the air to launch harassment tactics when needed.

Therefore, Li Wei never looks up!
He had already hung the iron spear in his hand on the hook on the side of his backpack. His backpack could hold a total of three spears, which was very convenient to use thanks to Topney!

He took down the two-star composite bow, holding it in his left hand while also gripping four cone-shaped arrows, and in his right hand he held a fifth cone-shaped arrow.

If necessary, firing five shots in a row is not difficult.

If he had positioned himself as a melee fighter in the quarry, he had now returned to his familiar territory and transformed into a cold-blooded archer.

"Adjust your breathing, watch your step, don't fall behind, don't look around, and don't worry about that beast in the sky. Conserve your energy as much as possible. With me here, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Li Wei spoke calmly, but when it reached Clyde and Leon's ears, it felt strangely awkward.

You say they're not strong enough? That's utter nonsense!
Clyde's sword and shield combo and Leon's two-handed greatsword can both defeat the Black Witch in melee combat, but they just can't control the rhythm. They're always a step behind or being led around like a dog.

I have never been able to find the most suitable opportunity to enter the battlefield.

In contrast, this elementary school student is truly at ease and in his element on this battlefield!
He annihilated the opponent's strongest unit at the start, securing the first blood. His fighting spirit was unwavering, his strategic maneuvering was on point, and in crucial close-quarters combat, he could even single-handedly kill a two-star Blood Wolf in the blink of an eye!
If Old John and Sophie hadn't been such trash, they could have definitely killed the witch in that team fight, or at least severely injured her.

Now, with two of their own men killed, the road back to the city is blocked, and they remain unfazed by the bandits and witches chasing them across the mountains and fields.

That's already quite remarkable.

Just as he was pondering, he saw Li Wei suddenly draw his bow and quickly point it into the air, seemingly about to shoot the giant crow. But the next second, he swiftly changed direction and shot it out to the left front!

Immediately following was a scream; a bandit more than seventy meters away had been hit by an arrow.

No, that archery skill is pretty impressive.

They were already jogging, and the bandits were also running to intercept them. Moreover, it was dark, and there were large crows attacking from the sky. This made their control of the battlefield situation quite extraordinary!
However, Clyde and Leon did not know that Li Wei was not that magical. He relied entirely on the Blood Raven Skull in his arms to eavesdrop on the Black-Robed Witch's orders. Moreover, the Black-Robed Witch had already experienced Li Wei's archery skills last time, so how could she dare to put herself in such a cruel predicament again?
So as long as she pulls the big crow to dodge, the rest is Li Wei's time to improvise.

Really, it's not a big deal.

It would definitely work if we brought in old John.

While on the move, within a hundred meters, a single shot can hit the target with 100% accuracy. Isn't that a basic skill of the hunter profession?
Next, Li Wei led Clyde and Leon, who were not yet familiar with the environment, on a run across the mountains and fields, occasionally shooting an arrow as they ran.

I wouldn't dare say I'd get a 100% kill rate, but I can definitely hit the target 100% of the time. Even a wounded bandit is still a bandit.

Clyde and Leon were completely numb; the two powerful professional warriors were as frustrated as two timid wives at this moment.

They were eager to return and fight, but the black-robed witch's icy crystal ball terrified them. If they were controlled, they would be sitting ducks!

But Li Wei was truly in form, attacking with both hands and occasionally using aerial intimidation, forcing the black-robed witch to jump up and down, but she dared not actually control the giant raven to swoop down.

In less than ten minutes, eight robbers had been either killed or injured, and one of them had broken his own leg.

This is mountainous terrain with steep slopes and complex topography. Only long-term residents can understand the terrain; who else can?
Moreover, Li Wei truly memorized every stone and every ravine.

He led the way, occasionally seizing an opportunity to fire an arrow, and also taking the time to remind Clyde and Lyon to watch their step.

In fact, there were archers among the bandits.

However, given the complex terrain, the darkness of night, and the fact that Li Wei could hit them from 60 or 70 meters away while they couldn't shoot at them from that distance, they had no chance.

Li Wei's arrows often arrive a step ahead of time.

In short, if we keep wandering around like this, things might turn around!

Because the bandits' initial high spirits had turned into a chorus of curses and screams, some of them had stopped chasing.

At this moment, the Blood Raven skull in Li Wei's arms trembled again, clearly indicating that the black-robed witch had also noticed something was wrong. How could they continue fighting like this?
So the bandits began to gather and retreat with the wounded.

Li Wei finally looked up at the sky. He couldn't see the giant raven, but he believed that the black-robed witch could see him through the raven's eyes.

He really wanted to give the middle finger, but in the end he did nothing. He just placed his right hand on the quiver, where a one-star eagle feather arrow was hidden, but he never had a chance to shoot it.

The black-robed witch maintained a distance of approximately 150 meters from them. Moreover, she moved with incredible agility, traversing mountains and valleys as if on flat ground—hardly the image of a delicate, aristocratic witch.
Li Wei had a feeling that the black-robed witch would become even stronger after absorbing Sophie's class card.

But that's probably how it will end up.

Unless the black-robed witch commands the bandits to attack the city, nothing will come of it.

But siege warfare is definitely a technical skill.

"Let's go back!"

Li Wei finally released the one-star eagle feather arrow.

The bandits gradually disappeared into the night, taking all the corpses and equipment with them.

There was nothing they could do; they couldn't stop Li Wei and his two companions, but surely they could clean up the battlefield?
That's the advantage of having a large number of people.

As Li Wei and his two companions returned to the city walls and climbed up using the rope ladder Penny had lowered, lines of information finally appeared, signifying the end of this short, small-scale, and low-intensity battle.

The mysterious Snow Mountain Witch has temporarily retreated with the bandits who were bewitched by her magic. They suffered heavy losses, but they did gain something. In the future, capturing this camp, which seems suitable as a stronghold, will be the Snow Mountain Witch's main focus.

George, the patriarch of the family, commanded the battle. His rich experience, excellent combat skills, and reasonably competent strategic vision prevented a devastating defeat. However, it is also true that the family lost three important family members as a result.

[George, the head of the family, killed a three-star Fallen Guardian Knight in this battle, earning him 200 family contribution points!]

[George, the head of the family, killed a two-star mutated blood wolf in this battle, earning him 50 family contribution points!]

George, the head of the family, killed three ordinary bandits in this battle, earning him 15 family contribution points!

[Family member Leon killed a two-star mutated blood wolf in this battle, earning him 50 family contribution points!]

[Family member Fila killed an elite bandit in this battle, earning her 10 family contribution points!]

[Family member Clyde performed exceptionally well in this battle, securing a kill and effectively deterring the opposing Blood Witch, earning him 10 contribution points.]

[Family member Penny played calmly and effectively in this battle, earning her 5 contribution points.]

[The battle has ended, and George, the head of the family, is ineligible for re-election. The monthly summary will resume tomorrow morning, and the difficulty of missions will be adjusted based on the current storyline.]

-

The messages gradually faded away. In the firelight, the remaining five family members looked at each other, all somewhat dazed. Who could have imagined that Peter's stubbornness in going to gather information would actually advance the difficulty of the mission? A three-star Fallen Guardian Knight? What kind of thing is that?
And this battle was truly thrilling.

If Li Wei hadn't acted quickly and shot Peter, who was infected with the plague, with an arrow, most of the people would have thought that Fila's medicine could cure the plague, and then everyone would have been infected.

With a three-star Fallen Guardian Knight leading the way and the witch's giant raven scouting from the air, the camp of over thirty bandits could very well be captured.

Li Wei was able to seize the opportunity presented by the witch and the bandits splitting up into two groups, and decisively launched an attack, first defeating and weakening one group, ultimately resolving the crisis.

From all perspectives, Li Wei's performance was definitely above average.

Could it be that this year's competition will produce a new champion?

The group was filled with mixed emotions, but no one said much. They took turns patrolling at night, not daring to slack off. Now, the undeniable facts proved that the information that surfaced was not necessarily safe.

The black-robed witch could even somehow publish messages riddled with typos.

And so, everyone stayed up all night.

As dawn broke, before the sun had risen, Li Wei returned to his room, and Leon caught up with him, his brows furrowed, as if he had finally made some kind of decision.

After closing the door, Leon didn't say a word. A faint silver card swirled between his brows, directly activating a two-star Sincerity Card!

"Your family member, Leon, used an item on you—the Two-Star Sincerity Card. You and he can talk freely for the next thirty minutes. The Sincerity Card guarantees that neither of you will lie."

I go!

This guy has really gone to great lengths. The Sincerity Card is different from the Conspiracy Card, especially since it's only two stars. It seems like Lyon wants to make a deal with him.

However, Li Wei's first question was, "Brother, how many item cards did you buy? These things aren't cheap, are they? And that three-star 'Stealing the Host' card from before, tsk tsk, I feel like you need at least 300 standard gold coins to complete this title mission."
