Capítulo 22: Conflict with Other Players
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In order to farm monsters and gather more efficiently, Joey divided the demons that were not low in level into several groups, hunting in different directions in the forest.
Joey no longer let his subordinates work on cutting wood and picking stones. It was more efficient to concentrate on hunting. The demons were all playing to their strengths. If they needed basic materials, they could just buy them directly in the trading space, it was estimated that the proficiency of the gathering skill would not be of much use in the short term.
As the first red-eyed demon that was summoned, Little Tall's combat level had reached level 6 and it had become an elite-level unit.
Its appearance had also turned into a two-meter-tall giant. Two thick and sharp black horns protruded from both sides of its forehead. Its entire body was filled with solid muscles and bulging blood vessels. Some parts of its body had even faintly grown dark blue hard keratin, he was full of vigor.
Little Tall, who was searching for prey in the forest, discovered a wild wolf. His red pupils flickered with a bright light as he dashed towards the wild wolf at high speed.
However, before he could get close, an arrow shot out from god knows where had pierced through the Wild Wolf's head, causing it to fall to the ground immediately. Dark red blood slowly seeped out from the wound.
"Huh?"
Little Tall stopped and stood beside a big tree, calmly observing his surroundings.
"There are other people here?"
Soon, he heard a series of noises.
A group of people were rushing over from the forest.
"He killed a level five wolf in one shot! Captain is getting more and more powerful!"
"It should be here!"
A group of people who looked like humans came over and saw little Tall.
They pulled out their weapons and kept a distance from him.
"Oh my God!"
"What a filthy and ugly creature!"
"I'm going to throw up!"
There was a young man who was obviously different from the others.
Could he be an Otherworld Lord like the supreme-being?
Little Tall chose to restrain himself.
He opened his mouth and stared at the humans.
"Stupid humans! You should be glad that I restrained myself. Otherwise, I will tear your souls and bodies apart!"
He then let out a terrifying roar, causing the leaves around him to rustle down.
The young man was pleasantly surprised.
"It's a level-6 demon? Could it be a special wild monster?"
"My luck is too good!"
"Soldiers, your Lord is ordering you to kill this evil demon!"
"Don't be afraid, its combat strength is only a mere level-6!"
When these human underlings heard the Lord's words, they also rubbed their hands together and equipped themselves to take down this demon.
They also believed in their lord very much. Although the Lord's combat strength was not very strong, he was able to possess many powerful and miraculous abilities.
For example, seeing the combat ability of living creatures.
Although this demon looked very terrifying, it was only a mere level-6.
Then there was nothing to be afraid of.
After all, their captain and vice-captain were also level six elites.
And they had more than ten people at level four or five helping them.
They could definitely destroy this demon.
"Charge! For the Lord!"
"Destroy this demon!"
"Purify this filthy creature!"
Led by their captain and vice-captain, these people surrounded little Tall and attacked him.
Their captain drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming steadily at his head.
"What an infuriating fellow!"
Little Tall chuckled and used his feet to pull the fallen leaves on the ground.
"Die! Damn bugs!"
Little Tall's speed clearly exceeded the expectations of the militiamen. He roared and charged at the militiaman closest to him. With a punch, that man was knocked flying by him and kept spitting blood as he flew through the air.
The militia captain shot an arrow, and the bowstring vibrated. The arrow spun and flew towards Little Tall. He dodged to the side and took the opportunity to kill the other militia.
Seeing that two of the militia had already died, the young man was a little angry and depressed.
He had thought that he could easily take down this special wild monster and was still fantasizing about whether it would drop something good, whether it would have advanced blueprints, or at least a lot of advanced materials, he had not expected that two of his subordinates would suddenly die from fighting it.
These were all warriors that he had painstakingly trained for so many days!
The more the young man thought about it, the angrier he got. When he saw another militia being killed, he turned his head and started cursing at the militia captain.
"What's going on! Don't you usually know how to shoot? Why are you so f*cking crappy this time?! Hurry up and shoot that demon to death!"
The captain shot another arrow, but Little Tall still dodged it.
"Damn it!"
He picked up another bow and was about to put it on the bowstring when he suddenly felt a few strong gusts of wind around him. He had no choice but to drop the bow and bow, crouching down and rolling backward a few times.
The sneak attack of the two demon soldiers missed.
The four demon soldiers led by Little Tall finally came to support him. The deputy captain of the militia, who was originally waving his long saber, could still suppress Little Tall when he was alone with a group of subordinates. Now that the reinforcements had joined, the situation immediately reversed.
The vice captain of the militia was not as lucky as the captain. He did not dodge the sudden sneak attack of the demons, and his back was severely injured.
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was not in his favor, the young man hurriedly gave the order to retreat.
"Retreat! Hurry up and leave!"
Needless to say, the morale of the militia had fallen to the bottom. They had thought that there was only one demon enemy, but they did not expect four more to appear.
Who knew if there would be more demons that would suddenly appear out of nowhere to ambush them.
The militia retreated one after another. Without the cover of their formation, the militia was killed even faster by the demon army, falling one after another.
After running for a short while, the young man also clearly realized the error of his orders.
Thus, he ordered the injured vice-captain to lead a few people to cover his back while he retreated with the captain and the others.
"What a pity. Although the vice-captain is also a special talent, he is already injured. The territory doesn't have any healing methods or tools, so we can only give up on him!"
Fortunately, the vice-captain also knew that he didn't have long to live, so he was willing to stay behind to cover his back.
The young man quickly ran away with a few people.
"It's a pity, vice-captain! Under such circumstances, their loyalty is still as high as 67 points! The rest of the militiamen who cover the rear have loyalty of 30 to 40 points. They could betray us at any time!"
After running wildly, the few of them finally returned to the castle of their territory.
They quickly ordered the remaining militiamen to close the city gates and let the militiamen who were gathering nearby retreat to the castle first. The young man and a few militiamen who had escaped directly lay on the ground, panting.
"Damn it! We've suffered a great loss this time. I don't know if we can survive the upcoming Beast Tide!"
Just as the young man was still thinking about his future plans, a cry for help suddenly sounded from outside the castle.
"Help! Open the door and save me!"
There was actually a militiaman who stayed behind to cover the rear.
Not far away, there were a few demons chasing behind him.
The young man's expression changed greatly, and he shouted to stop the militia that wanted to open the city gate.
"Don't open the gate for him!"
"Let him die!"
