The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The gnolls surrounded the town, and the murderous atmosphere made people choke on their throats, and they wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

However, right under our feet is our home, where else can we run to if we escape from here?

The originally noisy human town gradually became silent. Some people's adrenaline began to surge, sweat was secreted profusely, and the hands holding the weapons became a little slippery.

Just as people were fearing and looking forward to the battle starting quickly, the Kobold High Priest threw a bunch of Holy Light Spears into the human town from a distance.

This Holy Light Spear was thrown randomly and no one was injured.

However, the attacks of the kobolds are not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

"The Kobolds are using Holy Light!"

Li only heard a roar in his ear, and Theresa's originally determined figure suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Whether in legends or in the scriptures distributed by the temple, holy light is the blessing bestowed by the goddess to mankind, and it is the power that helps mankind to overcome all obstacles in the wilderness.

Now, the enemy also has the same power. Does this mean that the goddess no longer protects humans and starts protecting gnolls?

For those who rely on faith for their living, once their faith is shaken, the consequences will be like the collapse of the sky and the earth.

Li just felt that the situation was a bit tricky. When he turned around, he found that Theresa and several young clergymen were all lying on the ground with a look of despair on their faces.

"No, the enemy just threw a bunch of holy light and scared you all to the ground!"

Li grabbed Theresa's collar and pulled her up.

Li pointed at the kobolds from a distance and asked Theresa to look at the enemy army that began to attack.

"Those kobolds are coming. Do what you have to do, leader!"

Lee wanted to wake Theresa up and make her realize that now was not the time to complain about the collapse of her faith.

Even if you want to be depressed, save it for after the battle!

"Li, the Kobolds can also use the Holy Light. The Goddess has no mercy on us! You know, this means that the Goddess has given up on us. The Goddess is protecting a new race!"

Li looked at Theresa speechlessly. She was good in every way except that her brain was corrupted by faith.

"You mean to say that the goddess is disgusted with humans and has turned around to train dog-headed people as her followers?"

This was what he meant, but when Li said it so bluntly, everyone around him looked at him strangely.

Li smiled contemptuously and glanced at the clergy with contempt.

"I don't think that the kobolds who are still in the tribal stage are worthy of the goddess's transfer of her faith. Besides, when you pray, don't you always say that the goddess has compassion on the world and the goddess has compassion on all things in the world? Maybe the kobolds in front of you are the goddess's little pets fostered on the earth."

Li's distorted explanation of faith stunned the people around him. The clergyman wanted to continue to doubt his life as he did just now, but he found that his emotional collapse had been interrupted by Li.

The emotions were incoherent and it was impossible to be sad. Everyone looked at each other and had to stand up and busy themselves with their respective tasks.

"Fighters, take your positions and bring out the bows and crossbows from the armory! Each crossbowman should be assigned two strong farmers to help string the crossbows!"

As the kobolds got closer, the soldiers in the town began to fight back.

The ogres were well-equipped, but they didn't have many long-range weapons, and their attack was immediately thwarted after encountering arrows and crossbow bolts.

The gnolls rushing in the front were holding wooden escape techniques that were only as big as a pot lid. After being hit by a few arrows, they quickly shattered and lost their protective function.

The ogres without shields were howling and screaming when they were shot. They instinctively wanted to find cover and retreat, but they were forced to attack by the high priest.

The human side hid in the center of the town, gave up most of the area, and used maximum firepower to block the enemy from the beginning.

Everyone originally thought that it would be difficult to resist the attack of the ogres with less than a hundred warriors, but the actual fighting turned out to be unexpected.

"Those kobolds are useless, keep shooting!"

This was probably the first time the ogres attacked a town, and they thought that a siege was the same as a field battle, and that they could gain the upper hand with numerical advantage.

But reality dealt a severe blow to the dog-headed people.

"Throw oil cans and fire rockets!"

Two specially selected strong soldiers threw a three-pound oil can at the feet of the ogres a hundred meters away, followed by fire arrows. The ogres immediately howled and ran away.

This time, even with the high priest behind the scenes, order could not be maintained.

After all, no kobold wants to be roasted like a hot dog; that's not a heroic way to die.

The Kobold High Priest was a little confused. He didn't expect that humans were more powerful when defending the city than in the wild.

If we exchange identities, if someone attacks the kobolds' lair, the kobolds will fight to the death.

Thinking in this way, the high priest could understand why the humans’ counterattack was so fierce. He suppressed his irritation, called back the dogs, and started playing tug-of-war with the humans in the town.

As the situation gradually became deadlocked, Li had more time to think.

The first thing Li needs to consider is why can the kobolds use holy light?

If it was just the native Li, he would probably have his faith shattered like Theresa, and would collapse on the ground, doubting his life, when he discovered the holy light thrown by the kobold.

However, with the experience from the dream world, Li felt that the holy light was just that.

The question is, how does the opposing gnoll master the holy light?

Even if the Holy Light is just a simple power that other races can master, no one teaches the Kobolds, no one teaches the Kobolds the power of faith, and the Kobolds should not be able to master the Holy Light.

The second question Li needed to think about was why the kobolds had to attack the town?

If at the beginning, both sides did not have an accurate estimate of each other's combat effectiveness, the ogres wanted to use their numerical advantage to deal a fierce blow to humans.

Then why didn't the ogres attack other villages and towns, but had to come and attack here?

Li felt that the kobolds must be aware of the town's lack of military strength, and that the town's current state was more or less planned by the high priest.

Li admired the wisdom of the opposing high priest who mobilized the human defense force through careful planning and gathered a large army to steal the house.

But Li couldn't understand why the kobold did this.

It is definitely not worth wasting the tribe's strength just to attack human towns.

Even if the town is lost in the end, what the ogres will get will be a useless town. After all, it is impossible for the ogres to occupy the town and live, and they will eventually retreat back to the wilderness.

The investment and cost are huge, and the tribe and population will suffer considerable damage. Can the Kobolds get anything here to make up for the losses?

As he thought more deeply, Li gradually realized that there was some unknown purpose behind this war launched by the kobolds.

“…This is definitely not a battle caused simply by hatred or survival resources!”
