The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Everyone followed the corpses and blood stains, and from a distance away, everyone could hear the noise.

The last two survivors of the caravan hid in the cave and threw an orange glass bottle at the entrance of the cave. This was an alchemical flame and had the same effect as an incendiary bomb. They relied on these magical versions of Molotov cocktails to build a burning path. The flame defense line prevented the jackals from attacking.

Jackals are naturally afraid of fire, so they just stare at the entrance of the cave.

"Rugen, the alchemical flame is almost running out!" A young man with brown skin looked sad and reported to the veteran in a panic.

"How many are left?" The veteran's face was ashen and his teeth were clenched.

"Within less than ten bottles, they will come in, right? Those jackals." The young man's expression collapsed, "Gods, save us. I don't want to be eaten, they will bite me alive."

The adventure team arrived in time. If it had been half an hour or an hour later, there would be no need to collect the bodies of these two unlucky guys.

Asdalen quietly went up to inquire about the enemy. When he came back, his pale face was filled with a gloomy look.

"There are a lot of jackals..."

The next thing to face is the main force of the gnolls, led by a gnoll warlord who was infected by the mind flayer tadpoles. The rest are the gnoll hunters with bows and the hyenas accompanying the team, the total number is about ten.

It doesn't sound like there are many, but they all have unique skills. The hunters are proficient in three-shot bursts, and the warlords are even more powerful.

Such a team of gnolls could easily wipe out a village, which was quite tricky. It's quite challenging especially for today's adventure teams.

But Linde had no worries, after all, there was always more than one way to win a battle.

On the rocks leading to the cave, someone printed a special religious emblem with blood. It was shaped like a palm, and there were two eye socket-shaped holes in the palm, making it look like a skull.

This is the emblem of the Supreme God, but it is not in its complete form. The complete emblem also includes an inverted triangle. Skeleton, palm, and inverted triangle, these three elements come from the holy symbols of the three gods of death. For adventurers who already know the real murderer behind the scenes, this is another solid evidence.

Linde carried out simple tactical deployment according to the terrain environment.

There are highlands on both sides of the cave entrance, and in the middle is a twenty-foot-wide downhill slope. The main force of jackals gathers on the main road, with one or two hunters placed on each highland on both sides.

He asked his teammates to sneak. Asdalen, Gale, and Shadowheart climbed up the raised cliff on the east side of the cave entrance and occupied the high ground. Yankee Girl went to the raised rock on the west side and killed the archers there. Will stayed at the end. , preparing to block the enemy on the main road with him.

"Once the war starts, I will use darkness to seal the main road. Archers will not be able to threaten the dark area. Once you are selected as a target, find a bunker or hide within the range of darkness. Is it clear?"

The Yankee girl said to Linde with admiration: "I like tactical battles." She changed the subject, "But I prefer to go up and kill people directly!"

Shadowheart never forgets to quarrel with Raizel, "This is the only reason why you were captured by the mind flayer, you stupid and reckless man."

Gale knelt down awkwardly, imitating Asdalen's sneaking approach, but he looked like a gecko clinging to the ground, while Gale walked more like a duck.

He muttered, "I'm really not that good at it. I'm pretty good at invisibility."

Linde shook his head and smiled. The Archmage of Waterdeep City was destroyed and re-established. The journey of the mage started all over again. Currently, he could only release magic spells. When the new magic network in the body gradually grows stronger, it can accommodate more complex spells, and this requires him and Shadow Heart every night. Taking the time to steal divine power to weave a web for Gale is a long-term job.

In short, Gale needs time to grow, but the future is promising.

Linde can cast the invisibility spell, but many spells in the 5e version of DND require concentration to cast. Both the darkness spell and the invisibility spell require concentration, so he can't help.

After everyone entered the stealth state, Linde walked forward swaggeringly.

The Jackal Overseer heard the footsteps and turned around to see the upright paladin standing behind her and politely raised his hand to say hello.

Out of the corner of her eye, the warlord vaguely caught a glimpse of several sneaky figures walking behind the paladin, but she didn't pay attention. Instead, she was attracted by Linde's fair skin and well-proportioned frame.

This is the best fresh meat! It just so happened that the warlord was going crazy with hunger. It was as if all the flesh and blood she had eaten had fallen into a deep pit in her never-ending stomach. It was as if there was a twisted hole in her internal organs, and the hunger caused severe pain in her stomach.

However, just as she was waving the flail in joy, preparing to perform a simple and primitive craniotomy on Linde and enjoying the sweet and fragrant brain, a wave of psychic power emerged from the brains of both parties.

The familiar feeling of connection, and the familiar headache.

This is a bond that boils with blood between true souls.

Linde delved into the memory of the Gnoll Overseer, and he saw how this bloody and greedy creature became infected - the goblins and drow captured her, and then a mind flayer took out tadpoles and placed them on her In his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the Overseer's thoughts were conveyed.

The bloodthirsty impulse echoes in the spiritual connection between the two: meat! Eat eat eat! Eat eat eat eat!

What a pure cook! Linde thought with emotion, and then used a telepathic message to say to the Jackal: Warlord, you are one of our own.

The intelligence of the Mind Flayer tadpoles is higher than that of the gnoll's pitiful brain. The Overseer obeys the orders of the tadpoles in his head. Since the tadpoles say that what is in front of him is not meat, he cannot eat it.

Linde looked at the Overseer's subordinates and showed a simple and charming Paladin smile: Hungry, why not eat your own kind, they are also meat.

He used the skill of making friends without leaving any trace, and the warlord nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

A jackal came up and looked at the female boss doubtfully: Why haven't we started the party yet?

The warlord swung his flail and knocked the gnoll hunter's head open with his backhand. She spread it on the corpse and started chewing it happily.

Linde successfully instigated the boss on the other side, but the expressions of the remaining jackals changed dramatically - Overseer, why did you rebel?

"Ouch!——"

A jackal carnivore let out a bloody roar. Hearing the sound, all the jackals rioted and shot at the governor and Linde regardless.

"Do it!" Boss Lin shouted, and the men who were lying in ambush launched together. In one round of attack, they knocked down the archers on the high ground on both sides.

When the two survivors in the cave heard the noise, the newcomer was overjoyed, "Someone is helping us, Rugen, let's go help too!"

The veteran stopped his impulsive companion, "Don't be stupid, man, let's take care of ourselves."

"But they might need help!"

"Don't go! Let them fight on their own. You don't know if they are good guys or villains."

The novice looked unconvinced, but he still listened to his companion's words and threw the alchemical flames honestly, not daring to step out of the cave.

On the main road, Linde summoned the magical black mist in time, and the jackal hunters fired fiercely like mud cows into the sea, and got into the black mist without causing even a ripple.

This kind of covering spell is the natural enemy of archers. Unless you use special arrows such as acid arrows and thunder arrows that have a large-scale killing effect, you can only rely on thousands of arrows to be fired at once to hurt the enemies hiding in the concealment spell.

Lind and Will stood within the envelope of darkness. They both had devil vision, so they could release magic energy explosions easily and happily. Only they can hit people, but their opponents can't do anything to them.

Those who tried to rush into the black mist were met with Linde's long-planned Holy Slash. The magic contract spear easily pierced the thick skin of the jackal, and the flames of holy light washed away the internal organs. Those who were hit by it were also destined to die.
