Chapter 62 [Mysterious Reward]
Help the Forest Centaur tribe defeat the Gnolls. Quest Reward: [Mysterious Reward]
[Help the gnolls defeat the forest centaur tribe. Quest reward: Spirit Essence, three Bronze Souls.]
[Note: This task presents two options; once one is selected, the other will automatically become invalid.]
Multiple task selection?
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. This was the first time he had encountered such a mission, and he had no choice but to carefully examine the two missions.
First, we need to help the forest centaurs. Hmm... this task should be a bit more difficult, since Liga said that their tribe is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the gnoll tribe. And with the task being more difficult, the reward for this task is still unknown.
Mysterious reward?
What will be the reward?
Unable to find a solution, Lin Tian turned to another option: the mission to help the gnoll tribe.
This task is undoubtedly simpler, since the gnolls are now stronger. Perhaps Lin Tian won't even need to lift a finger after accepting the task; the gnoll tribe will win on its own, and Lin Tian will win without lifting a finger.
Although it was a win without lifting a finger, the reward for this mission was quite substantial, a full 10,000 points of spiritual energy and three bronze spirit souls. Keep in mind that all he had right now was three bronze spirit souls.
After that great battle, Lin Tian extracted a bronze spirit from Wells' body, which puzzled him greatly. He had heard from Bai that Wells had already reached the strength of a silver-level being, so why was he still a bronze spirit?
Bai later guessed that because Wells's upgrade was forced, he was not actually a Silver-rank, and the essence of his life was still Bronze-rank, so what was extracted was also Bronze Essence.
As for Vito, he was killed by Wells using unknown means, so even his spirit could not be extracted.
This is enough to show how precious the Bronze Essence is. Right now, this mission directly rewards three of them. It's impossible not to be tempted.
However, compared to being moved, Lin Tian was more curious about the mysterious reward.
What could it be?
After some deliberation, Lin Tian decided to reluctantly give up the three bronze spirits and choose to help the forest people.
Firstly, he had already fallen out with the gnolls, and given their personality, helping them would be a difficult decision for him. Secondly, he was genuinely curious about the mysterious reward.
After making his decision, Lin Tian was not one to hesitate. He immediately told Liga that he would help him. Liga was initially delighted, but then a hint of worry appeared between his brows.
Is this guy planning to annex his own tribe as well?
Liga's concerns were not unfounded. Apart from Lin Tian, who was himself very strong, he had seen a large number of warriors here. These warriors did not seem weak. He did not know whether they could defeat the gnolls, but if he attacked them, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
But Liga had no choice. Even if they weren't allowed to go, the tribe would continue to push forward and eventually encounter them.
Their own tribe was now in imminent danger; even if they weren't annexed, they would be devoured by the gnolls. They were truly surrounded by enemies on all sides...
After some struggle, Liga finally agreed to Lin Tian's request, and said to him with a complicated look in her eyes:
"Thanks........."
...........................
"Elder, those guys are here again!"
Within the forest centaur tribe, a young centaur galloped up to a centaur two rounds older than him and spoke in an indignant tone.
"Ah~"
The older centaur sighed. His hair and beard were white, and his face was wrinkled. Time had left its mark on his body. Fortunately, due to his race and his long-term training, his body was still strong and he could still draw a longbow and throw a spear!
He was the leader of this tribe. In fact, in general, the leaders of some tribes are usually young and strong men. However, due to the long-term struggle with the jackals, the tribe was left with only the elderly, women and children, and a few young men who had just come of age. There were very few who could stand alone, and it was truly a time of generational transition.
In his youth, he was extremely powerful, reaching the Silver level. With a single draw of his bow, he could take a life. Now, with age and hidden injuries, his strength has gradually declined, and he can only barely maintain the peak of the Bronze level.
This level of strength is completely insufficient to deal with those gnolls; their forest centaur tribe is currently facing a tremendous crisis.
But now is not the time for sorrow. Their hunting party has not returned for a long time, and these beasts are starting to stir again.
He grabbed the longbow that represented the generations of chieftains of the forest centaurs, and walked outside with a resolute look in his eyes.
At this moment, a fierce battle is raging outside, with the remaining dozens of forest warriors in the village fighting against twenty or thirty gnolls.
The elderly soldier had just arrived on the battlefield when he saw this scene. His eyes were filled with anger. He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and the veins on his arm bulged.
call out!
A whooshing sound rang out, and a gnoll in the midst of fierce battle was instantly pierced through the head by the arrow.
Boom!
The body lay on the ground, and all the fighters from both sides looked at the old man, Ma, who had come out.
Their expressions varied. The jackals saw more fear in the eyes of the old man and horse, while the centaur warriors saw more admiration and joy.
Seeing the expectant eyes of the warriors in the tribe, the old horse knew he couldn't let them down. He drew his bow and arrow again, and two more lives were lost.
I will protect this tribe until I die in battle!
........................
Lin Tian was meticulous in this operation; he brought not only the leaders but also all the minor demons.
He brought almost all the wolf demons with him: 150 wolf scouts, 100 wolf archers, 100 wolf captains, 100 wolf swordsmen, and 30 wolf warriors, wolf assassins, and wolf guards.
With the addition of 100 Little Frogs, 10 Snake Patrolmen and Crow Sages, it was basically a full-scale mobilization. Only 50 Wolf Scouts, Little Fungus and Little Ginseng Spirit remained at the stronghold.
A total of 600 troops were deployed this time. According to Liga, the gnoll forces numbered around 500 to 600. Lin Tian believed he could wipe them out in one fell swoop.
As the main force set off, this formidable force began to advance into the central part of the Black Forest. Their momentum was fierce, and the surrounding birds and beasts were frightened and fled in all directions.
At this moment, no one could have imagined that the Black Wind Army, composed of these minor demons from Black Wind Mountain, would soon sweep across the entire Black Forest Central Ring.
