Three Major Bosses (Third Update)
After Jericho, the Terror Knight Commander, appeared, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the tower on the side of the square. Immediately afterward, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, killing a bandit instantly. The shockwave sent several nearby bandits flying.
Immediately afterwards, Chain Lightning, like writhing serpents, exploded among the bandits, claiming the lives of several more.
Everyone looked up in horror. On the tower, a majestic mage dressed in a long red robe and holding a magic wand was coldly staring down at the crowd, like a raptor eyeing a flock of chickens.
"Maki, the lord of Redleaf City!"
"He's a wizard too!"
Bai Xiaowen also used his Insight skill to detect that the red-robed mage on the tower was indeed Lord Maki himself. However, his race was no longer listed as Human Race, but as Bonefolk! However, no Bonefolk undead creature characteristics could be seen from Maki's appearance, so it seemed that he had not transformed.
Maki is also Hero Class, but he's a level lower than Jericho, only level 5. However, as a spellcaster, he's naturally better suited for large-scale battlefields, and his area-of-effect damage spells pose a much higher threat than Jericho, the Terror Knight Commander.
"Hahaha... So many fresh samples have arrived again, this is wonderful..."
A sinister, aged voice echoed from the second-floor balcony of the Lord's Manor. A figure shrouded in black robes slowly emerged. Holding a withered wooden staff, he lightly tapped it and said slowly, "Since you're here, then all of you may stay..."
As the man in black robes swung his wooden staff, large swaths of eerie mist surged forth, and all the bandits, including Bai Xiaowen, were afflicted with a negative status effect.
[Withering Mist (Level 1): Lifeforms within the mist area have all attributes reduced by 10%.]
"This person is the mastermind behind the Necrotic Plague in White Stone Fief, the one codenamed W-01..."
Bai Xiaowen used his Insight again and discovered that the black-robed man's name was "Ebizel," his class was "Lich," and he was a level 6 Boss Tier!
Three Boss Tier!
An endless Undead Legion!
This is the difficulty of Heroic Tier side quests. If you're not Heroic Tier class, don't even think about doing these quests! Moreover, even Hero Class will still be in great danger if their level is not high.
Moreover, this is a continuous mission, which is inherently more difficult than other missions.
Generally, it takes several Hero Class classes to form a team to have a chance of completing this Heroic Tier side quest.
Despite mobilizing almost the entire bandit force of White Stone Town, the gap in raw strength between Bai Xiaowen and the Undead Legion and the three bosses of Redleaf Fief was still far too obvious.
The bandits' morale rose quickly, but it fell even faster. Not to mention Jericho, the Terror Knight Commander like a god of death, the mere threat of two powerful wizards of the Leader Tier was enough to shatter the morale of this rabble.
"All troops, charge towards the Lord's Manor hall!"
Bai Xiaowen's voice, transmitted through Divine Might, rang clearly in everyone's ears, remaining calm and composed. "Don't even think about running away! We have no way out! Surrender and you'll become a ghost! Only by fighting to the death can we survive!"
Kitz roared, "That's right! I'd rather die than become one of those disgusting things! Charge!"
One by one, the bandit guard captains shouted themselves hoarse as they led their squads in a charge toward the Lord's Manor to the north.
Herod!
Jericho turned his horse around and galloped away, his greatsword slicing down two bandits in succession, attempting to block their path.
Bai Xiaowen snorted and unleashed Binding Talisman, instantly freezing Jericho in place for a full seven seconds! He could only watch helplessly as the bandits swarmed into the Lord's Manor like ants.
Just seconds after leaving the [Withering Mist]'s range, the Withering effect on the bandits dissipated, and they felt their power return to their bodies. Instantly, the courage to fight to the death returned to the hearts of these desperate men.
"Kill! Charge into the Lord's Manor and kill the mastermind behind that Undead Legion!" Bai Xiaowen ordered.
This was the most suitable direction of attack that Bai Xiaowen found amidst the chaotic battle.
Which of the three Boss Tier should be dealt with first?
Jericho Terror Knight Commander, stands in the central square. His Bone Warhorse is as fast as the wind, and with its exceptional strength and physique, it is the warrior-type main tank among the three bosses. Surrounding him means being subjected to the unreserved attacks of the other two magic-based bosses, with no chance of victory.
The Redleaf Fief Lord, Maki, is located in the side tower, which is too far away.
Therefore, the most suitable candidate is W-01, the Lich Ebizer! His wide-area Withering Mist is an extremely disgusting crowd control skill, and what's most terrifying is that it can stack! We must take him down first.
Moreover, in the battle within the Lord's Manor, the support that either Jericho, the Terror Knight Commander, or Maki, the lord of the Redleaf Fief, can provide is quite limited.
No matter how powerful Maki's lightning magic was, it was impossible for it to Piercing the walls of the Lord's Manor.
Jericho must dismount to enter the Lord's Manor... As a Terror Knight Commander, if he loses the speed advantage brought by his warhorse, what is the point of fighting? His threat level will definitely drop sharply.
Soon, a group of Elite Tier bandits, along with Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures, rushed to the second floor of the Lord's Manor and saw the Lich Ebizer standing on the balcony.
"Tsk tsk... What an ignorant bunch."
The Lich Ebizer let out a wry laugh, and his figure slowly floated up, about to drift towards the central square.
"Remember next time, run earlier if you can, don't waste time."
Accompanied by Bai Xiaowen's cold voice, a sense of fear gripped the Lich Ebizer's consciousness, causing him to stiffen and fall into Fear Status for 3 seconds, unable to move!
In those three seconds, several Elite Tier bandits rushed over and blocked the Lich Ebizer's path. The four Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier unleashed a Shield Bash skill in unison, slamming the Lich Ebizer's body backwards into the second-floor hall of the Lord's Manor!
Meanwhile, in the second-floor hall, the first squad of elite bandit guards led by Kitz was already sharpening their knives.
"Damn mortals!"
The Lich Ebizer was enraged, raising his bone claws as massive clumps of dark energy gathered.
Knock knock knock!
The rapid footsteps sounded like the beating of war drums, and the bandits tacitly parted to make way. A graceful figure flew in and crashed into him, forcefully knocking the Lich Ebizer back two steps and interrupting his spell!
The newcomer was Li Shuyi. After unleashing the Savage Charge skill, she immediately began a high-speed thrusting attack with Double Slash Refined Thrust Sword. She then alternated between combo attacks and the Sanction Dagger, quickly stacking her attack speed to 10 layers before activating the Demonfire Dance!
Oh dear, today is the last day of November... Everyone, check if you have any monthly tickets left... Don't waste them, vote for me...
