Chapter 166 Olivia's Acid Arrow and the Halfling Decapitation Operation



With the fireworks blooming at the church celebration, this not-so-peaceful night came to a temporary end.

But when the two of them parted, their mood was not so good.

Beatrice, in particular, looked at Qian, who had no expression, with trepidation.

Qian didn't say anything, nor did she scold. She just sat in the carriage, opened the door and let Beatrice in.

Beatrice no longer had the vigor and vitality she once had.

Sitting in the carriage, she looked at Qian Mama's cold face and at Louis with an expression that looked like he was about to die.

Louis showed a helpless look, and then he saw Beatrice leaning back by the car window, apparently she had fallen into a state of slump.

Just like that, the two separated temporarily and returned to their base to wait for tomorrow's arrangements.

But that night, Louis couldn't rest in peace.

Because he received two text messages.

The first short news is that Tunisia has made a breakthrough in the battle in the Giant Plains.

Previously, Tunisia was stuck in the quagmire of "two breads with cheese".

Tunisia has been having a tough time these days, dealing with harassment from the Hidden Forest and the Troll Horde at the same time.

Even Konoha, the "You regret my shadow" sect, rarely launched large-scale battles against the two major countries at the same time during several Ninja World Wars. It basically gathered its main forces to defeat one country and then moved on to target the next one.

But the troll tribe is different.

The tenacious vitality of the trolls makes it difficult for Tunisia to achieve significant results without deploying more soldiers.

On the other side, the secret forest, even though its territory has shrunk greatly in recent years, was once the axis of the elves.

If the High Forest were to fall into a disadvantage, there would be no reason for it not to help its allies.

This meant that after the war between Tunisia and the Troll Tribe began, more troops had to be put into defending the possible joint army of the Secret Forest and the High Forest.

There is no way to free up my hands and feet, and I am destined to be trapped here.

But now the war situation on the front line has suddenly changed dramatically. A magic brigade deployed by Tunisia has achieved great results in a very short time.

To be precise, it was a first-rate team of wizards who had mastered a certain magic and, in the process of verifying the new magic, unleashed an astonishing tactical effect.

"Olivia's acid arrow?"

Louis was surprised.

Just by looking at the name of this magic, you can tell that this spell model was created by our own Little Swan.

If we look at it from a purely magical perspective, the damage of this magic is not much better than Ma Youfu's acid arrow.

Ma Youfu's Acid Arrow summons a flashing green arrow that flies rapidly towards the target and explodes into a strong acid mist after collision.

The corrosive effect this magic causes on the enemy is very obvious, and it also comes with secondary corrosive damage for a certain period of time.

It can be said to be one of the most cost-effective spells among the second-ring spells.

Olivia's acid arrow is a little different. The corrosive damage caused by this magic immediately after the explosion is not that strong.

It can even be said that the initial damage is far lower than that of Ma Youfu's acid arrow.

But the problem is that this magic can cause continuous corrosion damage four times, and the corrosion damage is heavier each time.

The corrosive damage that originally only lasted for about half a minute has now been extended to more than ten minutes, and the damage becomes more and more severe as time goes by.

It is said that this magic is the reason why Olivia joined the White Tower Mage Exchange Group.

Moreover, two days before everyone went to Tunisia, the relevant spell models and learning points had already been sent to the Tunisian side.

Perhaps many people will find it strange that even though the damage of Olivia's strong acid arrow is very high after multiple stages of corrosion, the power of the second ring magic has its limits.

Many trolls can even resist the fourth ring of magic without dying, so why use the second ring? But in fact, this is not the case.

What the trolls are most proud of is their strong vitality.

If the damage does not exceed a certain limit, it will often turn into a very embarrassing situation.

The damage inflicted on the trolls in battle is not even as fast as the trolls' natural recovery rate.

So you fight the trolls on the front line, and also have to be on guard against the trolls in the rear who are not completely killed and may stand up again and attack you.

But Olivia's acid arrow, which lasted longer, temporarily changed this embarrassing situation.

Firstly, the level of this magic is low enough, so it is easier for the mage group to master and can be used more times.

Secondly, the trolls have no way to control their own recovery ability. Olivia's strong acid arrows with a long duration will make the trolls use more of their recovery ability to restore their own corroded skin.

In this way, many trolls who would have stood up in just a few minutes may take more than ten minutes to get up due to timing.

In just ten minutes, most of the trolls' greatest combat advantage was shattered.

Coupled with the outstanding performance of the front-line commander and the advance preparation, Olivia's strong acid arrow achieved brilliant results in the first battle.

The trolls were not prepared in advance, and because of the heavy casualties on both the eastern and southern fronts, they temporarily lost the ability to take the initiative to attack.

Although the troops have not been withdrawn, the sense of oppression has been greatly reduced.

"Where did Little Swan learn all these strange magics?"

But it must be said that this wave of Little Swans has made great contributions to Tunisia.

Even if the Troll Tribe found a way to deal with this magic later, it would only mean that they had lost one of their trump cards.

"Little Swan, you've been a great help!"

If Tunisia can continue to persevere, it will be beneficial to the Enser Empire and even more beneficial to the industrial chain division of labor plan.

If he gives his base more time to develop, then in the future when facing the army of the Demon King and the Abyss, Louis feels that he has a chance to fight with them and consume their energy.

Then came the second short message.

The Hidden Grove assault on the Manchester camp failed.

This news is about Louis.

Camp Manches is a large halfling settlement located near the Hidden Grove.

Halflings of petite stature usually avoid attracting attention to avoid being involved in fearless combat.

Because of this habit, they can survive in various places in the Star Continent.

Although Louis believed that the fundamental reason was that halflings, who were only 3 feet tall, found it difficult to take advantage of their physical strength when facing tall people like humans and elves.

This is not because they love peace and hate disputes, but more because they cannot win.

Compared to a behemoth like Tunisia that required all-out efforts, it was much easier for the Hidden Forest to deal with the Manchester camp where halflings gathered.

The Secret Forest has been having a rather miserable time these years.

Compared to the well-developed Supreme Forest, the territory of the Hidden Forest has been encroached upon by nearly half by the surrounding powerful countries.

——Among them, the largest ones are Forge Keep and High Forest.

This fully proves that the dwarves who like drinking and forging not only like drinking, but also like to smash the enemy's heads.

It also proves that the elves are not as peace-loving as they claim to be, and they are merciless when it comes to killing their compatriots.

The Secret Forest has recovered in the past few years and regained some territory, but more territory is still being lost.

Their internal conflicts were not much weaker than those in Tunisia. Louis suspected that the reason they were frantically making trouble on the Tunisian border was also to divert conflicts.

Of course, Camp Manchester was not part of Hidden Woods' past lands.

But who cares about their opinions? The Hidden Forest took out an elven epic from the time when the Elven Kingdom was still the Overlord of the Era, claiming that the land under the feet of Manchester Camp was their former territory.

——They were not even willing to produce the title deed.

But that's true, their so-called land deeds had long been burned when the Elf Kingdom was dismembered by various countries.

But it doesn’t matter. In the eyes of the Hidden Forest, small areas like Manchester Camp are lands that can be eaten at any time.

Previously, the elves relied on their professional level advantage to attack the Manchester camp many times.

The Manchester camp, which lacks core combat power and equipment, has seen its living space shrink over the years.

As of the end of last year, it was less than half of its peak period.

After some investigation, Louis found that if the camp continued to be reduced, the halflings in Manchester Camp would not even have basic living security.

In the future diary, this group of halflings, using almost the lowest level equipment, launched a death charge towards the Secret Forest, and were finally wiped out.

Louis did a little investigation and found that this group of halflings did have some background.

The reason why they were defeated so badly in the future was, on the one hand, their indecision, and on the other hand, the lack of qualified weapons.

It just so happened that Louis heard from the diary that there were rare undeveloped minerals somewhere in the local area.

So he discussed with Beatrice and decided to exchange weapons and equipment for the rights to develop minerals.

Firstly, this mineral is indeed scarce, and secondly, he wants to rely on the halflings in Manchester Camp to attract the attention of the Hidden Forest.

If successful, it might help ease the crisis in Tunisia.

But Louis never expected that just sending a batch of weapons to this group of halflings would allow them to directly defeat the elves stationed there.

"Ghost, these halflings are something!"
