Chapter 160 Passive protection? Active elimination!
Pet is more cautious about protecting the territory than Old Bill.
He is not as optimistic as Bill, thinking that monsters are easy to deal with and can be easily eliminated.
In the battle before arriving at the Misty Valley, he and Gale were able to deal with it easily because they were on the outskirts of the Dark Forest, and most of the monsters were level 0 and level 1.
The magic released by the third-level wizard is already amazingly powerful.
Moreover, they have lifted the spell slot restriction. Many other adventurers can only take a detour when they see a small-scale monster nest, but Pete and his team can directly use level 3 magic to kill it.
But it is different in the deeper part of the Dark Forest!
Level 2, level 3 and even higher level monsters are entrenched in the depths of the forest, where the evil god pollution phenomenon is more serious, so more terrifying distorted monsters can be born.
Pete is worried about whether there will be attacks from those higher-level monsters.
Fortunately, the mission oracle sent by Norwen made him feel relieved.
[Mission: Guard the Creation Altar]
[Description: The gray fog is about to dissipate, and a large number of monsters are approaching the Creation Altar. They will gather near the Misty Valley and launch an offensive in 7 days, intending to destroy the miracle creation of the God of Knowledge]
[Target]
Eliminate 0-level monsters 0/185
Eliminate 1-level monsters 0/31
Eliminate 2-level monsters 0/7
[Reward: Activate a series of tasks for territory development and construction]
"Praise the God of Knowledge!"
"It will be easy if we know the number of monsters!"
What Pete is most worried about is that the situation of irresistible high-level monsters will not occur.
The most feared thing about monster attacks is actually unclear intelligence.
This is particularly obvious during the monster red tide.
Without knowing the number and strength of the attacking monsters, it is impossible to prepare the corresponding defense force in advance.
If you don't prepare enough, your defense line will be broken;
If you prepare too much, it will be a waste of combat power.
If you know the scale of the attack in advance, it is comparable to opening the full map vision in the war, and the intelligence advantage is huge.
However, even if there were no high-level monsters attacking, Pete was still worried about the scale of the attack.
Because according to his observations a few days ago, with the combat effectiveness of the 30 believers in the valley now, except for him, Gale, Brandon, Miranda and Reina, the others can barely be regarded as 1st-level professionals, but their real combat effectiveness is not much.
They are good at reclaiming wasteland for farming, raising animals, and building houses.
Fighting is not their strong point.
Even if everyone can fight with all their strength, it may take a lot of losses to barely eliminate these monsters.
Except for the creation altar, the valley is now poor and white, and there is not even a decent house. They have to set up a tent to spend the night.
It is absolutely a waste to let the living residents who can promote the development of the territory die in the battle.
Pete was thinking about how to coordinate everyone to fight with all their strength and minimize the losses as much as possible, and suddenly reacted.
"Hey? Wait, it seems... not right?"
Pete realized a detail in the task description.
"Will they gather near the Misty Valley?"
"Oh! I see!"
Pet had a bold idea.
Call the other four people together.
"Tell me, is there a possibility?"
"In fact, the Lord has given us guidance."
"Why do we have to wait until 7 days later to stop the monster attack in 7 days!"
"Didn't the oracle say that the monsters will gather nearby first?"
"The mission requirements only require us to eliminate these monsters, but it doesn't say when to eliminate them!"
"Why is it 7 days later?"
"These 7 days are clearly reminding us that we should take the initiative to attack and get rid of them!"
"It's difficult to deal with them all at once, but it's much easier to divide and defeat them like we did when we cleaned up the Blood Fang Gang?"
"Doing this will definitely minimize the casualties. If we can even eliminate them all before the gray fog dissipates, won't the monster attack end directly?"
"That must be right!"
The more Pet thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very reliable!
He must have successfully interpreted the will of the oracle of the God of Knowledge again.
…
"It must be you!" Nowen paid attention to Pete's strange thinking and was completely convinced.
This guy's reading comprehension has never been correct, and he can even think in a strange direction every time.
The "dissipation" of the gray fog is a reminder that Nowen prepared for his believers.
In fact, the gray fog that permeates the periphery of the valley can be regarded as a kind of protection that belongs to Nowen alone, which will prevent other people and monsters from entering.
By temporarily removing the gray fog, the irrational monsters nearby will sense the breath of civilization in the valley.
When the evil gods saw Nowen's believers, they ran faster than anyone else;
These irrational monsters are different from the evil gods that polluted them. They are unaware of the danger and will only spread chaos and destruction, so they dare to rush over to attack.
Nowen can use this to manually create a small-scale "monster red tide".
The number of monsters marked in the mission is actually the number of monsters that came after Norman removed the gray fog for a short time after the believers entered the valley and sensed the breath of civilization.
Norman did not intend to use the gray fog to protect the believers forever, as that would only make them fall into comfort and lose their fighting spirit.
It would not take long for the believers to find that as long as there is gray fog to protect them, neither monsters nor other people can enter.
This place is even stronger than the protection of [Past Glory].
But there is only so much gray fog near the Misty Valley, and it can only cover this valley.
You can't let the believers stay in the valley forever, right?
Now he is in the state of "declaring the whole area"!
He can't play with the evil gods, those guys are all crazy;
As a former god, no matter whether he is good or evil, he can't get into the circle of good gods in this era, and he might even be declared war by the churches of those good gods!
If he is not good, the whole world will be enemies, and all mortals and monsters will have to fight.
Norwen intends to use this method to remind believers that they need to improve their strength and be ready to face danger at any time, and don't just eat and wait for death in the shelter.
As a result, Pete found a way to fix the BUG.
In a sense.
Pete's unique idea is not wrong.
There are many ways to deal with danger.
In addition to staying in the Misty Valley and waiting for the monster attack to come;
Killing all the monsters nearby in advance can really solve the attack crisis!
Nowen hesitated for a long time and sighed.
"Oh... forget it! It's okay!"
"As long as they don't plan to hide in the valley all the time, I will achieve my goal!"
...
With a plan, Pete and his team are extremely efficient.
The small-scale monster red tide originally designed by Nowen turned into an action in which believers took the initiative to search for monsters and eliminate them around the Misty Valley!
Forget about 7 days!
In just less than 4 days, the last 0-level monster near the valley was also found by them in a carpet search!
They killed all the monsters that Nowen lured, leaving no one behind!
Nowen had to release the pioneering tasks he prepared to guide believers to build the territory in advance:
[Territory construction series tasks, released! ]
[Complete the series of tasks to unlock the lord election! ]
...
The fifth update is here! After thinking about it, I won't write about the battle anymore, and I won't break the chapter. I will just write it here in one stroke. The focus is on the next part of recruiting people for territory construction.
