The Great Thief - Chapter 625

Chapter 625

Lu Li left Gorgrom base camp and began flying towards the Midza Ruins which were located in Ogre territory . Ogre Grunts occupied the outer ring while the higher-grade Elite Ogres resided in the center of the map .

Lu Li had heard in his past life how Shadow Wind had Stealthed in from the outside and pulled the monsters . However, he had done this when he was already level 50 .

Lu Li dared not attempt this because Mosh'Ogg Witchdoctors could detect Stealth units . Unless he constantly stayed more than 5 yards away from them, a mere level 40 Thief would be killed instantly once detected .

In his mind, he was thanking the developers for not designing an air unit for the Ogres .

When he arrived at the Ogre Main Camp – Mosh'Ogg Troll Hill – he began to descend carefully .

This was originally an underground palace for the Trolls, but the Ogres came and claimed it as their main camp . The defense here was quite scarce because they had placed all their manpower in the outer borders and were confident that no one could break through .

In saying that, there were still a number of Mosh'Ogg Maulers, Witchdoctors and Spellcrafters patrolling the area .

Lu Li Stealthed into the cave; this was the key factor in determining his success .

Fortunately, most of the Ogres were asleep and there weren't any Witchdoctors around that could detect him . There were some Mosh'Ogg Shamans, but Lu Li could easily sneak past them .

After exploring the cave for a while, he finally found what he was looking for .

Lu Li climbed onto a pillar so that he could overlook the palace . He almost scared himself to death when he saw Mai'Zoth . He had only seen him once in his past life, but Lu Li recognized him immediately because of his distinctive model .

Mai'Zoth was one of the strongest Bosses in Stranglethorn Valley, along with Commander Aggro'gosh and Far Seer Mok'Thardin . He specialized in controlling souls with magic .

His greatest achievement was luring the famous Coulson Special Forces, including their commander Colonel Conrad, into their downfall .

Conrad was an experienced general and an outstanding tactician who had brought many great victories for the Alliance . Colonel Conrad, along with the Special Unit, was ordered by the Stormwind Kingdom to station in Strangelthorn Valley to carry out a classified task .

The Special Unit codenamed "Coulson" was a team created to protect the royalty of Stormwind . The team consisted of famous commanders such as Chief Esquivel, Captain Doren, Jacob Anders, Chief Gaulus and Officer Mirenda . Each and every member of the special forces was an elite soldier and had received strict training prior to the mission .

Unexpectedly, Captain Doren started a rebellion against Stormwind Kingdom by convincing his group to leave the campsite . They then engaged in guerilla warfare near the North of Strangelthorn Valley against the Special Unit .

This was the former campsite of the Rebels who were defeated .

Upon seeing a Mai'Zoth, a monster who was capable of wiping out an entire Special Force Unit, Lu Li was scared senseless . He dared not to look or feel anything; he even stopped breathing completely .

After a while, when Lu Li could no longer hold his breath, the sound of Mai'Zoth's staff hitting the ground as he walked became more and more distant .

Lu Li waited even longer before peeking out to make sure Mai'Zoth was gone .

It didn't matter what the Trolls did here back in the day; this palace belonged to the Ogres now . A palace was incomplete without a king .

The developers had yet to give the new king a proper name . He hadn't been properly crowned as a king because he was still a child . The previous king was assassinated by Shadow Hunter Vol'jin, the chieftain of the Blackspear Tribe .

Lu Li would not go easy on him, even though he was still a child .

That's right – his target was the little Ogre . If he managed to kill the little rascal, the whole Mosh'Ogg Troll Hill would be infuriated .

Lu Li carefully studied the pattern of the patrols and found the right timing to sneak past them into the palace . There were no guards or servants inside .

The little Ogre was napping .

Lu Li walked closer towards the tiny Ogre then casted Preparation and Ambush, stunning him immediately, then finished him off with the rest of his combo .

Lu Li overestimated the little Ogre because he hadn't realized that he was only level 10 .

Even though he was an Elite boss with 10,000 HP, as a level 10 monster, he was no match for Lu Li's damage .

Each hit dealt more than 2,000 points of damage and the little Ogre was killed before Lu Li could finish his combo . The sad part was that the little Ogre was crowd controlled the whole time, so it couldn't scream for the guards for help .

Lu Li slit the corpse open and collected two bottles of Fresh Ogre BLood .

The level 10 Steel Grade Equip that he looted was thrown away because it was worthless and took up inventory space .

After finishing his job, Lu Li left the Ogre underground palace as quickly as he could because the patrolling guards would check up on the little Ogre ever so often .

Although he had limited time, Lu Li was the type of person to perform under pressure . He was able to remain calm the entire time, avoiding the Ogres along the way as he carefully sneaked past the cave .

Right before he left the cave, he heard loud and chaotic cries of anger echoing behind, and the entire Ogre camp became frantic like a colony of ants .

All of the Ogres began rushing into the cave, making Lu Li's exit even harder . However, they were all distracted by the loud cries and screams and didn't notice Lu Li, who was Stealthed right next to them .

When he exited the cave, Lu Li saw Mai'Zoth rushing towards the cave from afar .

Mai'Zoth was the Elite boss of the area and usually patrolled around the entire map instead of being stationed around the palace like the other Ogres . As soon as he had heard the news, he hurriedly rushed back .

Lu Li avoided the Elite boss completely . He waited a while and took out the two bottles of Ogre blood in his bag, then threw them onto the ground . The unique scent of Ogre blood traveled through the air very quickly and immediately caught the attention of all the Mosh'Ogg Ogres .

Lu Li shapeshifted into a Crow and rolled around in the blood before taking flight into the air .

"Damn intruder! We'll make you pay for this!" Mai'Zoth roared like thunder upon realizing that his king had been assassinated .

He casted lightning bolts towards the crow, but Lu Li had predicted this and had already flew out of range .

In his past life, Shadow Wind had run away on foot, but he was much higher level . Lu Li decided against this and took the safer route of escape in the air .
