At least at this stage he didn't think it was necessary. A leader template like this was already very cool. Even a lord could be surrounded and killed with a group of them.
It would be great if they could be carefully trained and raised to level 80 or above.
He doesn't need to achieve great things in this world, as long as he is better than other players.
Twenty minutes later, the last demon fell under a prismatic ice crystal. The girlfriend cheered and flew over to collect the spoils.
Whether the thing is valuable or not is not the point; the point is that she likes the feeling of gaining something.
Lights appeared on most of the bodies of the seven or eight hundred demons, indicating that there were spoils to be picked up.
As in the past, most of the items are venom, internal organs and other garbage that can only be sold for money. There is also a chance to get some demon claws, demon teeth, scales, tails and other white materials that can be used to make arrows, weapons and armor. After accumulating a certain amount, these can be handed over to the expeditionary quartermaster in exchange for reputation and merit.
There is only a very small chance of equipment or potions dropping, etc., and the most valuable of them is the Demon Mark.
An ordinary demon mark can be exchanged for an ordinary NPC, a green demon mark can be exchanged for an elite NPC, a blue demon mark can be exchanged for an enhanced elite NPC, and a purple epic-quality demon mark can be exchanged for a leader-templated NPC.
Unfortunately, he had never even seen a blue devil mark, let alone a purple one.
This Demon Centurion only dropped a piece of purple equipment with attributes equivalent to T3 and two green Demon Marks, but did not drop a blue Demon Mark of excellent quality.
"Green is green. After all, I am an elite. It's good to be a soldier. I have no shortage of strong subordinates."
In fact, there are many demon marks in the auction house of the Expedition Fortress, including blue demon marks, but there are no purple demon marks. No one can get a purple demon mark yet.
Besides, if someone really wanted to use it themselves, they would have already used it and would not have sold it.
These are dropped by individual players when they kill monsters, but the price is shockingly high. Any blue demon mark can cost up to tens of thousands of gold, and there is still a shortage of people. As soon as they are put on the shelves, they are bought up at a fixed price by the big guilds.
Lin Xiao had quite a bit of money saved. Even though it would cost a lot to enter the outer realm, he still had tens of thousands left. However, he didn't have anyone he trusted, and he couldn't let his girlfriend guard the auction house every day.
Speaking of which, Huiyao has a few acquaintances, such as senior Xiong Chumo, and his cousin Lin Xu in Dark Moon.
However, Lin Xiao felt that he already had a girlfriend, and it would not be good to get too close to Senior Chu Mo.
As for Lin Xu, they had been in contact when he had just entered the Outlands, but he was already doing very well in the Darkmoon Academy at this time. With the support of his girlfriend and father-in-law, he was already a prominent figure in the first year of Darkmoon. He had a group of friends and younger brothers under him, and he was also planning to follow the legion route. They definitely couldn't play together.
After packing up all the spoils, they immediately retreated several kilometers, made a big circle and came to a low slope three kilometers away from another exit of the Demon Fortress to wait.
After more than forty minutes, no demons were seen leaving the camp. Instead, a demon centurion was seen returning with another patrol of about a thousand demons. The two sides met each other, and a fierce battle broke out.
Just like the previous battle, the two leader warriors transformed into big Nagas and brutally broke through the demon army to kill the demon centurion. The archer Hills shot a shock arrow, and the two big Nagas took the opportunity to suppress it. The ice mage started to use his big move, and a spear of the Ice God made 170,000 blood disappear
and then froze him on the spot. With concentrated fire, he knelt down in seconds!
Then it's harvest time!
Clean up the remaining ones!
Clean up the battlefield!
He went through
the process very skillfully, as if he had practiced it many times.
Next, they spent two days stalking three patrols, plus the previous two, a total of five patrols, killing five Demon Centurions, more than forty level 73 Demon Captains and Demon Warriors who were also enhanced elites, and harvested a total of 32 green Demon Marks that could be exchanged for elite subordinates, as well as a blue Demon Mark from one of the Demon Centurions.
This resolved his previous doubts about whether the blue devil mark could only be dropped by the governor.
Now it seems that the Demon Centurion will explode, but the explosion rate is a bit touching.
Five patrol teams were killed in a row, and half of the demon army camp was killed. Even if the demon commander didn't do anything, he realized that something was wrong.
So on the fourth day of waiting, when they were halfway through encircling a team that had just come out of the demon camp, they heard a roar in the distance, and a dense army of demons came rushing over. In the center was a familiar tall demon, who was the Demon Overlord.
"Just in time!"
The demon commander used his men to lure him, but he didn't know that Lin Xiao was hoping that the commander would leave the barracks at this time. Now is the weakest time for the demon barracks. After a while, more demon soldiers will be refreshed, and it will become more and more difficult to fight them at that time.
The previous tactics cannot be used this time. Together with the Demon Overlord there are two centurions, plus three people who lured them, as well as a dozen demon captains and warriors who are also enhanced elite templates, seventeen or eighteen demon warlocks and wizards, all elites, and some of them are probably enhanced elites. With this lineup, his two leaders will not be able to get out once they rush in.
The tactics are simple: fight against each other in a regular tactical formation.
Although he has few people, he has super powerful mages, shooters, and the most important leader priest.
Demons advocate destruction, but they don't have a profession like priest. They may have seen boss-level nurses with leader templates, but they have definitely never seen a boss-level nurse with protoss talent.
The reason why players can challenge the elite monsters and bosses with millions of HP in the dungeon is because they have tanks and healers.
"boom!"
Summoned by the demon warlock, huge fireballs burning with green flames fell from the sky like meteorites and landed among the crowd. After stunning the soldiers in the range, the burning flames gathered and transformed into a hellfire that was covered in green evil energy. The five-meter-high hellfire swung its flaming fist and smashed hard at the soldier holding a shield at its feet, officially kicking off the melee.
Priest Xingyue quickly released a large-scale psychic scream, and seven or eight Hellfires all fled in fear. The leader archer Hills drew his bow and shot continuously, quickly killing the Hellfires.
"Raise your shield!"
The elite warriors in the front row stood in front of them with shields raised, staring intently at the demon army that was moving slowly in the blizzard or rain of fire but was finally approaching. In an instant, the two armies became a melee.
The ice mage Spark did not cast blizzard. Five enhanced elite demon wizards each shot a green light that concentrated in front of him to form a green ice ball. The spiritual confrontation had already begun before the front row approached. He was fighting alone against five enhanced elites over level 70. Even if he was a leader template, he could not free his hands for a while.
Lin Xiao was not idle either. He constantly summoned thunderclouds to drop lightning to kill the demons.
Although it is just an ordinary spell, the spell damage after the talent bonus is comparable to the spell effect and power of the enhanced elite. Coupled with the high burst of lightning specialization, the results of the battle are quite brilliant for a while.
But as more and more demons came to attack, especially a large number of cannon fodder demons in the front row died and the elite demons in the back row came to attack, they could not be killed for a while, and the front row warriors began to die gradually. Even with a large number of treatments, they could not control so many subordinates.
However, compared with the casualties of the demons, the casualties on his side were much less and still acceptable.
As the cannon fodder continued to die, the demon warlords behind them also began to stir. Lin Xiao had been paying attention to this big boss, and when it moved, he quickly shouted:
"Mars, get ready!"
Mars, who was about to kill a demon with one claw, looked up and roared at the Demon Overlord in defiance. The Demon Overlord immediately accepted the challenge, roared, and separated his men to pounce on him. The two powerful leaders collided fiercely and fought in a mess.
Demons are most keen on killing and fighting. If they are challenged by an enemy or a strong person, they will definitely accept it. It's like if someone invites an old drunkard to drink, and it's Maotai, the old drunkard will definitely drop his business and run over to drink.
If we can pin down the opponent's strongest commander, the rest will be easy.
Another leader warrior took on two demon centurions, and the remaining demon centurion and many demon captains or warriors could only rely on their men to hold on. Even though the casualties were so great that Lin Xiao's eyelids were twitching, there was nothing he could do, because the other leaders now had important tasks.
After Hills killed the Hellfire summoned by the Demon Warlock, he began to kill the Demon Wizard from a long distance, freeing the Starfire that was restrained by the Demon Wizard. The powerful spell of Starfire was one of the key factors for victory in this battle.
Although the Demon Wizard who restricted the Starfire was an enhanced elite template, he still couldn't stop the burst fire of a leader template shooter.
With just one charged shot, the demon wizard would not be able to bear it and would have to release the mental connection.
You have to relax. The longer the charged attack is charged, the more powerful it will be. If you are hit by this fully charged arrow, you will basically be crippled. The power is not much lower than that of Xinghuo's ice spear before. They are all mages, and if you are hit by this, you will be crippled if not killed.
After several charged threats, two demon wizards released their mental links. One of them who didn't believe in evil was shot by a fully charged arrow and lost 80,000 HP. His total HP of just over 100,000 dropped to the bottom in an instant. The huge damage directly broke his mental link.
Three of the five links were broken, and the remaining two demon wizards could no longer suppress the sparks and were forcibly disconnected.
As soon as he escaped, Xinghuo added an ice shield for himself to resist damage, then he held the staff in front of him and began to chant a spell.
As the leader template was upgraded to the maximum level of 70, Lin Xiao spent a lot of merit to exchange several powerful spells for him in the expeditionary fortress. The Ice God's Spear was just one of them.
The horrible cold quickly gathered in the air. Several demon wizards and warlocks cast spells at him to interrupt him, but they were all blocked by the ice shield.
Five seconds later, the spell was completed before the ice shield fell. The terrifying coldness condensed in the air suddenly expanded and turned into a dazzling blue light column that fell down with a bang. A circle of ice rings exploded at the point of impact, and flashed like lightning to a distance of 150 yards. All the demons in the range were frozen in place and unable to move.
