Although killing these Deviant Ghosts didn’t yield much, the experience points they provided were quite generous.
As one of the factors that make up their strength, level played a crucial role for magic-based professions.
For example, among legendary-tier magic-based professions, the power displayed by a level 40 mage and a level 50 mage was evidently not on the same level; the gap in their strength could be several times over.
And individuals like Elin, an epic-tier mage who was nearly at the maximum level, could easily handle a hundred of them without breaking a sweat.
Recalling the immense power that Elin demonstrated in the past, Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration and motivation.
He believed that one day, he could reach that level, and perhaps even surpass it!
“Full-scale assault, leave none behind!”
Hearing the supreme command from their leader, the morale of the legion surged, and they pushed back the thousands of approaching Deviant Ghosts, cutting them down one by one.
A team in robes advanced on the icy plains, climbing up from the side of the valley, cautiously peeking over the cliff edge towards the valley below.
The pointed ears and graceful faces peeking out from beneath the hoods, unmistakably marked them as elves.
At this moment, these elves watched the Ocean Crown Army slaughtering the Deviant Ghosts in the valley, and they couldn’t help but reveal expressions of surprise and curiosity. They began whispering to each other.
“Captain Arlin, where did these peculiar creatures come from? We’ve never seen anything like them.”
“That’s right, that human leading them doesn’t seem like the army from the human settlements on the eastern ice plains, does it?”
“It doesn’t seem likely. If they had the strength to confront the Deviant Ghosts head-on, they would have already attacked us and tried to seize our land.”
The elf they referred to as Captain was a mature-looking female elf. She frowned when she saw the young elf squad members chattering away without any sense of caution and scolded them.
“Don’t discuss it. Deviant Ghosts have keen hearing. We don’t want to alert them. We can’t handle this many.”
The young elves immediately fell silent, clearly regarding Captain Arlin with great respect.
“In any case, the sudden appearance of this unfamiliar army on the isolated ice plains must signify some kind of change. We need to report the situation here to the elders immediately.”
Just as Arlin was about to lead the young elves away from the area, she suddenly noticed the human in the middle of the unfamiliar army directing his gaze towards their direction. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly signaled her team members to stay still.
How is this possible?
From such a distance, they could still perceive us!?
Arlin’s heart pounded in her chest, and she dared not move a muscle until she saw the human turn his head and continue directing the battle. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She gestured for the young elves to slowly crawl backward, and when they had all descended, they stood up and hurriedly ran in the direction of the village.
Ji Chen looked towards the cliff on the left side of the valley, his brow furrowing.
Why did it feel like someone was spying on them from the side?
Could it be the soldiers from the two Bass Kingdom fleets?
That possibility was slim; they wouldn’t have set foot on land, and without the firepower of their warships, they were essentially powerless. Moreover, it was highly unlikely that they would have coincidentally found them in such a vast ice plain.
It was strange. Were there any other living beings here besides the Deviant Ghosts and the soldiers from the Bass Kingdom fleets?
After a moment of contemplation, Ji Chen, who couldn’t shake off his concerns, secretly called for Anina.
“You, go around this valley secretly and check if there’s anything on the left side of the cliff.”
Anina nodded, wielding her large sword as she maneuvered through the rear of the army, circling around towards the left side of the valley’s cliff..
