Volume Two: Heroes of Might and Magic and Magic: The Death Battle, Chapter 169: Survivors
He became a cold corpse. No matter how glorious he was in the past, at this moment, he was a worthless dead body. Of course, after Li Wei collected the Guardian and Skill Book that he dropped, no one paid any attention to the corpse anymore.
The southern human settlements were also defended.
This battle directly annihilated the force that John had brought out, which was equivalent to 70% of the Scourge camp. As if it were a premonition, Li Wei's Yellow Paper jumped out.
"Mission Two, The Revenge of the Forsaken, Completed, Scoring in Progress"
"Together, kill the Undead Scourge and assist humanity in defending the southern stronghold. Kill the Undead commander and name the enemy reincarnation squad members. The final score is 244 points. The squad members will be rewarded with 244 points upon completion of the mission."
Li Wei no longer paid any attention to the instructions on the Yellow Paper. After being forcibly teleported back to Shadow Street, all his attention was focused on "Card Magic."
This is the Skill Book obtained after killing John. Without a doubt, this is the highest-rated Skill Book Li Wei has ever seen, reaching a terrifying level.
Presumably, John hadn't fully mastered this skill either, otherwise his combat strength would definitely be much higher than three.
Li Wei went to great lengths to kill John, and his preparations were enough to make John, his enemy, feel ashamed.
From the very beginning of the probing, Li Wei had been considering how to deal with this troublesome enemy. To be honest, if it were just him or any one of his team fighting against John, they wouldn't have a sure chance of winning, and there was even a high probability that they would be killed by the other party.
Therefore, we can only use Li Wei's old method, which is to leverage existing momentum.
In the mission world, there are almost no forces that can be borrowed. Although he is Forsaken, he is just an ordinary member and has no way to command or drive high-level Forsaken leaders.
That leaves only the human side.
Undoubtedly, Scottlin, with his combat prowess, would be an excellent choice.
In fact, Li Wei had already come up with this idea when he learned that John was going to lead the Undead to attack the human stronghold. Only by joining forces with the Wang-class Scottlin could he possibly gain the upper hand against John.
So he leaked the news that the Scourge was going to attack the southern stronghold, so that Scottlin could be on guard. All that was left was to prepare a surprise force to contain the Scourge.
Everything was proceeding as Li Wei had envisioned. Under the combined attack of Li Wei and Scottlin, John indeed began to retreat. In fact, if the opponent had gone all out and fought desperately, even with Scottlin's help, Li Wei was not confident of defeating him.
In the end, John died from that little bit of "cowardice" and Li Wei's Web Spell.
Who would have thought that a melee fighter would possess magical abilities?
As for the final blow that surprised John, Li Wei used Shifting Forms and Changing Positions at close range, which allowed him to kill with a single strike.
Turning to the first page of the Card Magic Skill Book, Li Wei saw a very basic magic card called "Light," which could consume one card to release a ball of light that lasted for 5 minutes.
This is a relatively small and very easy card to make; it only requires some drawing skills.
Besides the light source, there were also some basic cards. Of course, Li Wei also found the card called "Apostle of Annihilation," which turned out to be a level 5 advanced magic card.
The cards are divided into 6 levels. The easiest ones to make are naturally the first level. Starting from the second level, making cards becomes very difficult, and the fifth level card is extremely difficult to make.
The materials needed to make this card are simply beyond Li Wei's current capabilities.
It was like "the soul of the wronged" and "the armor of King Ran of Hell, this soldier"—a small piece of gossip. Li Wei, let alone Dan, hadn't even heard of it, let alone gotten to the four...
"It looks like we can only use some basic cards for now!" Li Wei put away the Skill Book and then took out John's Yellow Paper.
The other party's Yellow Paper contained many materials and numerous completed cards, but according to the rules of magic cards, he was not the owner of these cards, and even if he held them, he could not use them.
Aside from the cards, there wasn't much else, and John had very few points, less than four, which seemed to have been spent on purchasing materials.
When Li Wei returned to the real world from Shadow Street, he discovered that Zheng Yutong and the others had already returned. Amakusa, who was originally hundreds of miles away, had also returned to the villa area through the portal opened by Zheng Yutong, which significantly enhanced the villa area's defenses.
Back in his room, Li Wei collapsed onto the bed. At that moment, he didn't want to think about anything. He always felt extremely exhausted after each mission.
Li Wei slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky before waking up.
Li Wei opened the window and looked outside.
The Doom Tree has now grown to the sky, its height definitely exceeding a thousand meters. Its enormous canopy isolates a large area, plunging those areas into darkness without sunlight.
No one knows what has happened on the other side of the tree. Li Wei himself doesn't know either.
At that moment, the sound of a gong rang out from outside the palace.
Li Wei didn't know who would come looking for him at this time.
When the door opened, Liu Piaopiao appeared with a shy expression.
"Master, a convoy of several hundred people just stopped about a kilometer from the villa area. They want to talk to the person in charge here,"
This news surprised Li Wei somewhat.
When Li Wei finished dressing and arrived at the place Liu Piaopiao had mentioned, he saw nearly a dozen cars of various kinds parked on the roadside, clearly belonging to a group of survivors.
Li Wei saw that Blood Wolf and Xue Yan had already arrived.
Therefore, Li Wei did not approach Xiao but instead observed him carefully.
The group of survivors appears to be around 100 people, including men, women, and children, but the vast majority are young people.
At this moment, many of the survivors, young and middle-aged men, were confronting the patrol team of the villa area with various types of guns. The smell of gunpowder could be detected from a distance.
As Li Wei approached, he heard a rather gruff voice shouting, "Why can't we go there? Even if it's your home, in this critical time, it should be given to the government. Get out of the way and let us through!"
Among their side, Xue Yan was the highest-ranking member, yet she glanced at the people opposite her and sneered, "So, you represent the government?"
She had already seen that there were more than a dozen reincarnators hidden among that group, none of whom were very strong. The strongest of them was only at the Tian level. The one who had just shouted was a fat man with a big belly, who looked like an official from the Old World.
It's hard to imagine that he was also a reincarnator.
However, they lacked the ability to Eye of Perception or Insight Technique, so they couldn't discover Xue Yan's identity at all.
"Little girl, stop talking nonsense. I'll give you a few minutes to think it over. If you're still so stubborn, don't blame us for being ruthless!" The fat man was clearly getting angry.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so reincarnators in the opposing team stepped forward, unleashing a powerful aura.
At this scene, Xue Yan had only a dozen or so special police officers behind her, while the other side had hundreds of people, including more than a dozen reincarnated beings. No wonder the fat man was so arrogant.
