Tauren Overlord
Page 88
Since the entire army knew there would be a battle the next day when they went to sleep last night, they mobilized very quickly.
Erica originally planned to wait until the White Lion Chariot Regiment completed its armed reconnaissance before moving to a farther location.
Her caution led to Lu Heng's attack on the high elves' camp, which was actually not much different from directly going to war with the entire army stationed in Wormwood Town.
Because many of the outposts in Artemisia Town were also placed at roughly this distance to prevent the main base from being raided.
As the Baron of the Mountains and the deputy commander in charge of this operation, Lu Heng's choice was to quickly wake up Jules and go together to reinforce the Elf Lord Erica.
It would be bad if he was seen to be slacking off.
At least at this stage, he doesn't want his identity as the Tauren Overlord to be exposed!
Anyway, he knew very well that Erica's resistance collapsed in less than 10 minutes.
Even if you arrive at the battlefield, you will only see the remains of the high elf camp.
As for how to deal with Jules' troops later, he has no shortage of backup plans.
……
As for the high elves, Lu Heng found that they were not as difficult to control as he had imagined.
Before Douglas could exert much strength, the entire camp was already filled with the high elves' pleas for mercy.
They all said weird things like "Please don't hurt me, I'm fragile!" and then scrambled to tie up their other high elf compatriots.
Sasha Turk still feels a little dazed until now.
She thought the rat people were finally going to fight a fierce battle, but the enemy chose to surrender without even putting in much of a fight.
The actions of the high elves even made Douglas a little panicked.
He could vouch with his reputation as a dog man that all dogs were unlikely to be so docile.
Battle Sister Diana and her Harpy Witch combat team also lifted their stealth and began to assist the ground forces in escorting the prisoners to the Drawbridge Monastery.
Although Diana and her friends heard on the top of the mountain that there was a group of people called high elves in the world who were good at self-management.
It is said that if you lock the High Elves together, you can prevent them from climbing trees and escaping.
Because whenever a High Elf tried to climb a tree, another High Elf would grab his or her legs to ensure that he or she could not escape.
How does the Luna proverb go?
Even if you have heard about it a hundred times, it is better to see it with your own eyes once.
It was the first time for both Lu Heng and Diana to learn that in the traditional culture of the high elves, surrender is divided into different levels.
When faced with a situation where they need to restrain each other, those who give priority to tying up their compatriots or subduing them by other methods are the benign elves among the high elves.
Those who are suppressed by their fellow elves are the evil elves among the high elves.
For thousands of years, benign elves have demanded that outsiders treat them better, or at least better than evil elves.
Lu Heng was also not familiar with the culture of the high elves, but in order to save management costs, he temporarily agreed to let the benign elves be responsible for escorting the evil elves.
This saves a lot of manpower costs.
As for further transformation, they can discuss it after they arrive at the Suspension Bridge Monastery.
In this way, the high elves left the battlefield under the escort of their compatriots and the supervision of Diana, Douglas and Shashatek.
Lu Heng stood alone on the hillside, overlooking the land below.
The view here is very broad. He has seen that the Aicao Town at the foot of the mountain has begun to mobilize, and the cavalry has already headed here.
He began to build up his emotions, preparing to have a pleasant "chat" with himself.
However, at this moment, the picture in his eyes suddenly changed.
The sun had just pierced through the pre-dawn darkness, but it immediately retreated below the horizon, plunging the world back into darkness.
The cavalrymen who had just started to move out at the foot of the mountain also retreated back to their camps - they did not turn around, but simply retreated backwards.
Is time going backwards?
No! This strange scene of everything going backwards only appeared in the sight of the Minotaur Overlord!
As the Baron of the Mountains, Lu Heng knew very well that he was on his way to the hillside.
What exactly is going on?
The ability to travel back in time... Is this what Gaspard, the "Reviver of the Past," is up to?
When Lu Heng realized who his opponent was, he immediately felt a pain in his chest, as if he had been shot by a crossbow arrow.
But when he looked at his chest, he didn't see any arrow.
What's going on here?
Lu Heng quickly asked his entry ability and cast healing magic on his chest.
As the healing light lit up in the darkness, a line of small words flashed across his sight:
"You have been hit in the chest by the pox arrow of Taimenia. If you don't start treatment immediately, the venom will flow through your chest to your entire body..."
Fortunately, Lu Heng cast healing magic on himself immediately, preventing the venom from spreading throughout his body.
But then, he felt pain in his chest again.
Lu Heng did not dare to be careless. He quickly touched his chest with his hand, and sure enough, he felt two crossbow arrows in the pain.
He immediately endured the severe pain and pulled the two crossbow arrows out of his chest, while rolling sideways on the ground to avoid the enemy's next attack.
126. I am so awesome, I smile with a crooked mouth
The biggest question right now is - where is the enemy?
Lu Heng retreated into the portal and continued to cast healing magic, but he could not find Gaspard.
This is so strange. Judging from the effective range of Taimenia's crossbow, the enemy should be within 100 meters nearby. Why is there no trace of him?
Even when Lu Heng asked questions about the entry ability, the answer he got was:
"The enemy that attacked you has not been found in the current field of vision. This entry does not have the ability to analyze across time and space."
Across time and space?
Lu Heng quickly recalled his observations of the "Reappearance of the Past".
During the investigation of the theft in Artemisia Town, Gaspard also used this ability to allow people, including Lu Heng, to see scenes from the past.
At that time, Lu Heng just thought that this ability was a magic weapon for investigating past cases.
But this ability can also force the enemy to only see past images... No, not just images, but also sounds!
As long as the trapped person remains in the "past", Gaspard, who is effectively invisible, can attack from the "present" at any time.
This is how to do?
Lu Heng tried to fight back with the padlock gun, but even a powerful padlock gun still needed a specific target.
How can we chase the enemy if even the owner can't see where the enemy is?
Then among the thirty-six strategies, the best one is to run away!
Lu Heng immediately adjusted his landing point vision, trying to teleport out of Gaspard's casting range.
As long as the opponent's psychic power has an upper limit, his "time travel" ability will definitely have weaknesses.
Either his spellcasting range is limited, and Lu Heng can restore normal vision and hearing as long as he jumps out of a certain space;
Either his casting time is very short, and as long as Lu Heng jumps out of his casting range first and his spiritual energy is exhausted, it will be time to counterattack!
However, just as Lu Heng was about to increase the distance by teleporting, his landing point visually "hit" an invisible wall and he was unable to float farther.
This means that he cannot set the landing point outside the "wall", and therefore cannot teleport to a distant place!
Lu Heng's heart tightened, realizing that he was really going to face a fierce battle this time. He continued to hide in the portal while thinking about how to deal with the situation.
The interior of the portal is temporarily safe, and any arrow shot into the portal will be redirected by Lu Heng.
Therefore, in this battle between time and space, Lu Heng is temporarily in an "invincible" state.
But this does not mean that Lu Heng can stay here forever. He needs to constantly send fresh air into the portal, which requires continuous consumption of spiritual energy.
At this moment, Lu Heng heard the teasing from Gaspard.
"If it were someone else, they would have died from my first attack. I didn't expect you to still be able to struggle until now. You are truly unique."
Lu Heng listened carefully and found that the sound came from the left side of the portal, so he activated the lock gun and stabbed towards the suspected source of the sound.
However, this attack hit nothing.
Lu Heng immediately made the lock gun rotate like a propeller, and the sharp tip of the gun swept across the area wildly.
Still nothing was scanned.
During this process, Lu Heng continued to consume psychic energy in the portal - otherwise, he would have to consume more psychic energy to fight the venom.
After a while, Lu Heng heard Gaspard's voice again.
"This javelin is indeed under your control. What a pity. Do you really think that what you heard is my current voice?"
Lu Heng's thoughts raced, and he quickly understood that the "Re-emergence of the Past" could also control the time of sound transmission.
When he heard a sound, Gaspard might have already moved away at this moment.
At this time, counterattacking the enemy based on the direction of the sound source would be like looking for a sword on a boat!
To the current Tauren Overlord, Gaspard is almost invincible.
What's worse is that Lu Heng was unable to evacuate the battlefield due to some unknown reasons.
How can we fight back?
It's not like there's nothing we can do.
Theoretically, if Gaspard was indeed nearby, Lu Heng might be able to hope to hit Gaspard by accident with a random attack.
But the probability of this happening is too low, and Lu Heng does not intend to use his limited spiritual energy to try out luck with an extremely low probability.
Because even if he was in such a desperate situation, he still had some unused cards.
Not long after, Gaspard's voice rang in Lu Heng's ears again.
"Minotaur, you seem to be very persistent, but it's a pity that you can't escape. This is where you will die."
"I trapped you with your beastmen's fighting ring, and this is just the scraps we took from your main nest."
"To be fair, you have a lot of treasures!"
Lu Heng had also heard of the Beast Fighting Ring, which was a magical prop commonly used by the early Luna people for entertainment. It could create a temporary arena.
Its principle is the same as that of a magic defense barrier, the difference being that a defense barrier usually has the user inside the barrier, using it to defend against attacks from outside.
The fighting ring covers an area, which can prevent people inside the "temporary arena" from casting spells outside.
As long as the external energy supply is stable, the mages inside will not hurt the people outside the arena even if they like to cast fireballs.
Then, Gaspard changed the subject and began to talk about the Lock Gun:
"If I'm not mistaken, the gun you are controlling is the one that originally belonged to Ruby de Polporo, right?"
"You beastmen have so many treasures, but you still took away the treasures of our Polporo family. You really have no conscience or bottom line!"
After hearing what Gaspard said, even though Lu Heng was not a native of Luna, he wondered if this man was going back in time and had become sick.
The reason why you were able to inherit so many magic items from the Luna people is because you massacred the capital of the Luna Academy.
The New Luna City, which has a population of 50 all year round, was killed by your eastward expedition team and only 3.5 people were left, which is why the "ownerless" treasures are everywhere.
So much so that after the massacre, even the leader of Taimenia, who had always been forced to rely on the people from the imperial headquarters, got a lot of excellent magic props.
As the party being slaughtered, they are accused of lacking conscience and bottom line by the party carrying out the slaughter. This is really a serious illness.
Gaspard also inadvertently reminded Lu Heng that there were still too many treasures in Lunayuan that were plundered by the empire and had not been recovered.
It would be a long and arduous journey to take back these treasures from the empire, or even make the empire pay a higher price.
But no matter how long the road ahead is, Lu Heng has already embarked on the direction of progress.
This time, I will inherit the abilities of the "Reappearance of the Old Ones" and then complete my revenge step by step!
