Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 108 Goodbye Reiner
Just after parting with Zhou Miyin, a God-chosen Hero who happened to be passing by said in surprise: "Damn, a light ammunition truck? As expected of Boss Levi, he is so rich!"
Levi also smiled: "It's Richie, it's so late, are you still in a hurry to leave the village?"
After enchanting for several days in a row, a large group of people appeared in his friend list, and he became familiar with the other God-chosen heroes in the village. He would meet acquaintances almost wherever he went.
Richie was one of the people he was more familiar with, because he not only enchanted several weapons himself, but also helped to attract about seven or eight customers. Although he didn't particularly need it, he still had to do this favor.
The high elf warrior named Richie shook his head and said, "No, someone just said that probably because many people have chosen to use military merit points to recruit high elves in the past few days, there are dozens of indigenous teams joining in every day as a reserve force."
This is also a matter of course. For example, the upper limit of the number of level 2 spearmen (shield bearers) that can be recruited through military merit points is 1,000, and this number is shared by all the chosen heroes participating in this mission. Once all the points are used up, there will be no more recruitment.
This is also the reason why many people, even though they know that the Hero's Spirit and the Village Heart are more valuable, cannot suppress their restless hearts and choose to recruit soldiers in advance.
Because they were afraid that after seven days, they would not have accumulated enough military merit points to exchange for heroic spirits. When they wanted to recruit soldiers, they would find that the number had been reduced to zero. That would be too tragic.
But it is impossible for the high elves to leave these thousand people in one village and wait there. That would be too stupid. Although Levi didn't see it, there were actually people who were secretly carrying out the deployment.
Richie continued, "But for some reason there's a pretty high-ranking person outside today, and there are even some high-ranking cavalry inside. Boss Levi, do you want to go and take a look?"
"Cavalry, what kind of cavalry?"
Levi subconsciously thought of the captain of the Silver Helmet Knights named Reiner Caledo. Excluding the old witch whose strength was unknown, the other party should be the strongest native he had ever seen . After all, ordinary Silver Helmet Knights were all level 4, and his surname was Caledo.
He has collected information in the past few days. All the surrounding villages and towns of the High Elf are actually overseas colonies of the Kingdom of Caledor, one of the ten great kingdoms of the High Elf!
And another point is that the ten kingdoms each have their own characteristics. Although the strength of the God-chosen heroes is currently relatively low and most of them are still hanging around the Novice Village, everyone has also roughly summarized the characteristics of some kingdoms.
Kingdom of Chrace: Raising and training white lions, the White Lions of Chrace are famous, and later there are even stronger White Lion Warriors, White Lion Chariots, etc.;
The Kingdom of Safri: It is known as the kingdom with the strongest magic power. There is more than one magic tower and magic library in each town under its jurisdiction.
It is also said that they also have a unique kind of magic swordsman, who, as the name suggests, is a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts. Levi is very interested in this aspect;
Terenrock Kingdom: The kingdom of chariots. They have many different chariots, including light and heavy chariots, flying arrows, flying axes, and throwing spears.
The Kingdom of Arion: It is said that they only love riding and killing, and it is also the kingdom with the largest number of cavalry. They are reckless and reckless.
The tier 3 Elion Cavalry and Elion Reaver are typical examples, and are the first pureblooded High Elf cavalry that anyone can recruit.
Kingdom of Iris: The domestication and flight of birds, and also the best at air cavalry. After all, in this magical world, even geese can have mutant species that are 3 meters tall, and it is very normal for birds to carry knights weighing hundreds of kilograms;
The Kingdom of Lothern: Ocean and Trade. The Lothern Ocean Guards, a well-known Tier 3 all-round soldier in the forum, come from this kingdom. It is said that they are responsible for patrolling the coast on the large circular island in the High Elves' homeland.
Moreover, Levi seriously suspected that they might very well be the richest or even the most powerful of the ten kingdoms. After all, maritime trade was too profitable.
With enough money, they will naturally be able to equip a strong enough army, and naturally have enough funds to expand the caravans and protect them. By repeatedly benefiting each other, their strength and potential must be extremely terrifying.
As for the overseas colony under his current feet, it belongs to the Kingdom of Caledo, and what they are best at is taming dragons!
That's a giant dragon. How many people who play fantasy games haven't had fantasies about giant dragons? Just think about it and you'll know that it's at least a sixth or seventh tier soldier!
The next second, Richie directly confirmed his guess: "There are quite a few Silver Helmet Knights and Arion Cavalry. The leader seems to be an elite. It seems that he has been here once before. I just don't know his name."
Levi was immediately certain that the other party must be Reiner whom he had met that day. It was possible that his advancement and acquisition of racial talents would fall on the other party!
When Levi and Richie arrived at the entrance of the village, they found that there were indeed hundreds of high elf troops in bright armor outside. In addition to some spearmen (with shields) and archers, there were also 3rd and 4th level cavalry. There were obviously hundreds of them, but they did not move and their horses did not neigh, showing their extremely high military quality.
The leader was the captain of the silver-helmeted knights whom he had met before - Reiner Caledo.
At this moment he was explaining something to the old village chief, and there were at least a dozen God-chosen heroes watching nearby, occasionally interjecting a word or two.
Levi listened quietly for a while and found that the other party was instructing the old village chief to be more careful and strengthen vigilance recently, because there were more and more monsters and alien races in the wild recently, and the war between the lord and the dark elves was becoming more and more intense, and there were no spare troops to support the villages.
As for those God-chosen heroes, except for two girls who chatted with each other because they thought they were handsome or because they were proud of their beauty, most of the other God-chosen heroes wanted to get some tasks from them.
But those two girls were really overthinking it. All the high elves are handsome men and beautiful women, and they don’t know if it’s the power of blood, but the stronger the strength, the more obvious it is. Looking at the appearance of the captain of the silver-helmeted knights, if he dressed up as a woman, he would probably be much more beautiful than these two girls.
But maybe it was because he took into account that these chosen heroes were all high elves from the same race as him, so even though the captain of the Silver Helmet Knights looked obviously a little impatient, he still managed to endure it.
Seeing that they had almost finished talking, the God-chosen heroes who were watching had not gained anything, so they gradually dispersed. The captain of the Silver Helmet Knights also seemed to be gradually deciding to leave. Levi, who had been silent all the time, took the initiative to walk over at this time.
Seeing him coming, the captain of the Silver Helmet Knights frowned unconsciously, obviously a little annoyed, or perhaps he mistakenly thought that he was just like the others and came to talk nonsense with him.
But the old village chief next to him hesitated for a moment, but instead helped Levi explain: "Lord Reiner, this is Master Levi. He is very outstanding among the many heroes chosen by God..."
This not only surprised Levi, but also made Reiner look at him with a higher opinion. Then Reiner's eyes suddenly lit up: "Levi, are you a veteran?"
Levi knew that the other party must be talking about his military position. He didn't expect that he had just been promoted and this would come in handy. He nodded immediately: "Yes, Lord Reiner, I have killed hundreds of gnolls. I have now reached a critical moment, so I would like to consult you on how to tap the power hidden deep in my blood and how to be promoted to a formal mage."
This was his real purpose. Although he did not use any reconnaissance skills, through his observations over the past few days, he already knew that the old village chief was a loser. He might not even be a Tier 1 soldier, and he could not be relied on in combat at all.
If he missed Reiner this time, Levi really wouldn't know where to find him.
"Hahaha, I see. I don't understand the magician's business, but the power of blood has always been with you!"
Levi couldn't understand for a moment: "Always here?"
The next moment, the system prompt popped up.
"You have successfully comprehended the power hidden in your blood. You have gained a talent - martial arts."
Martial: When HP is above 50%, attack power +2, defense power +6.
Wow, just one sentence made me realize a talent. What is going on?
Although still a little confused, Levi chose to thank him immediately.
Reiner smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to do so: "I am Reiner Caledo, the captain of the Silver Helmet Knights of Ashridge Town. I am very happy to see another fellow with a martial spirit. I hope you won't let me down."
Levi also introduced himself a little more formally: "I am Levi Goethe, a mage, I believe you will not be disappointed."
Perhaps now there is a big gap in strength between the two sides. It is almost certain that the opponent is at least a level 4 elite. After using his skills, he may be able to kill him instantly with just two shots. However, there is one thing Levi is convinced of, that is, the growth rate of the God-chosen hero will definitely surprise all the natives.
And I will surprise most of the God-chosen heroes!
He laughed twice again and made a hand gesture. Immediately, a silver-helmeted knight came over with a horse. It was obvious that he was planning to leave. After all, it was already late, and it was somewhat dangerous in the wild even for them who were very powerful.
Levi immediately took two steps forward again: "Please wait a moment, I have some information related to the Underdark, and also about the twisted tree spirit Maokai."
There were only a few God-chosen heroes left around, so he had nothing to worry about. And to be honest, knowing that there was a black dragon behind him, he wished someone would die first, so he naturally would not be afraid of being heard by others.
Reiner was stunned for a moment, obviously very surprised: "Underdark? Twisted Dryad?"
Levi immediately explained the situation quickly, and then took out the bark he got from the leader of the fallen treemen. After listening and reading, Reiner's expression became much more serious: "Levi, I don't know what's on the bark. I will take it back and give it to the mages to carefully identify."
"But the information about the Underdark is extremely important. Unfortunately, I can neither make the decision nor take any action."
"Because we are currently at war with many parties, our military strength is obviously insufficient. Even the Dragon Prince was forced to go to the battle himself and confront the Dark Elves' Black Ark and the legendary lord Malus Blackblade. After arriving at the next village, I will also go to the border to defend against the green-skinned orcs of the Red Cloud Tribe."
"And the gnolls are also a very serious problem. The number of these beasts is many times greater than we expected."
They, the High Elves, are very powerful, and can even be said to be not as powerful as other-dimensional races such as demons and angels. The only ones who can compete with them in this world are their old rivals the Dark Elves, who are thousands of years old, and the rising star humans, who are numerous and talented, and finally, the Lizardmen, who claim to be the maintainers of world order and fight against all evil.
Apart from that, whether it is the smelly and tough dwarves, the green-skinned orcs who only know how to fight all day long, or the Skaven in the sewers, as well as the Undead and Tomb Kings who have turned into skeletons but still remember the glory of their lives, they do not pose an absolute threat to the high elves.
But this was not their native island of Oshuan after all, but just a large overseas colony. Whether it was defense facilities or military strength, it was far inferior to their homeland, and there were no other nine kingdoms to help each other.
So even though Reiner was proud, he gradually realized a fact that made him a little painful: it might be difficult for them to completely defeat all the enemies around them in their lifetime.
Levi thought to himself, of course, hundreds of God's chosen heroes had been catching and killing jackals in the Stoney Highlands for four full days, but their numbers were still so large. Even rabbits or mice couldn't reproduce so quickly. They had to at least learn from the cockroaches.
After thinking about it, Levi could only come up with two guesses.
Either that guy Hogg secretly hid a lot of God-given buildings and resources, so at this critical moment of life and death, he began to recruit.
Or maybe there are other supporters behind him who used the power of magic to achieve this effect.
For example, transforming ordinary wolves into gnolls, or using teleportation spells to summon them from other places.
The priests of the Sigmar sect had previously suspected that Hogg had a connection with the Mad Wolf Brotherhood. If the other party really fully supported Hogg, then it should not be particularly difficult to create the current situation. After all, although their numbers are large, their average strength is just so-so.
But no matter what, this state cannot last too long. Hogg's resources are limited. Even if they are teleported here by magic, it is impossible to keep sending them to die like this, because this kind of tactic of adding fuel to the fire is like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather. It is meaningless at all, right?
Wait, at this moment Levi suddenly remembered something, and his expression became serious: "Lord Reiner, I found traces of a Chaos Dwarf hero in the swamp. He was building a Fiery Furnace, trying to change the terrain of the entire swamp."
"Chaos Dwarves? The ones who love to summon and enslave demons?"
At this point, Reiner's expression was somewhat contradictory. Disgust and hatred certainly accounted for the majority of his expression, but there was also some joy.
Because the Chaos Dwarves and Demons are both in the evil camp, they are naturally enemies of the lawful High Elves. He certainly has reason to be happy when the two enemies start fighting each other.
"Yes, his presence there was too abrupt. This place is too far away from their hometown. Besides, I heard that the demons have an evil sacrificial ritual, right?"
At the beginning of the game, a few unlucky guys were sacrificed by demons and devils, resulting in irreversible and permanent detrimental status, and eventually had to delete their accounts.
But at the same time, the chosen heroes of these two races can also sacrifice the indigenous people in exchange for power, magic, treasures, and even subordinates.
Reiner couldn't help but turn serious after hearing this: "That's right, demons are an extremely crazy race. They don't even care about their own lives, let alone other demons."
"You mean, the Chaos Dwarves and Demons might be related to the Gnolls of the Stoney Highlands?"
Levi nodded vigorously: "Yes, it is possible."
Reiner immediately showed obvious anxiety. The black dragon of the Underdark was fine, as it was one of the weaker evil dragons among the five colors, only stronger than the stupid beast-like white dragon.
Moreover, those guys are generally very cautious and are unlikely to challenge the high elves, let alone the Kingdom of Caledor. After all, Caledor is most famous for taming dragons.
But if it was related to the devil, he was not sure what would happen, because those guys were just like the green-skinned orcs, they didn't use their brains at all, and everything depended on their mood.
So is fighting, so is killing, so is death!
Thinking of this, Reiner wanted to lead his troops to the Rocky Highlands immediately to check what was going on personally, but thinking of the battle situation on the border, he could only force himself to endure it.
There is only a possibility of being in danger here, but there are actually a large number of casualties on the border every day. What's more, military orders are like mountains and he must obey them.
"Levi, I cannot make any decisions on behalf of the lord and the general. I can only represent myself. If possible, I hope you can check the real situation of the Stoney Highlands for me!"
After a slight hesitation, Reiner waved to several of his subordinates on his left: "I will take these troops to various villages to replenish combat power. The cavalry will need to go to the battlefield with me later to provide support, but I can at least support you with a few of my trusted subordinates."
"And I promise you that if the mission is successful, I will personally explain the situation to the general afterwards and let him reward you personally!"
As he finished speaking, system prompts began to sound. First, there was a mission called Finding the Truth. Then, eight level 3 Elion cavalrymen temporarily joined his team. They would understand his commands and he would not need to spend any money or other resources.
Now his team had excellent archers, reliable infantry, and an air force that could conduct reconnaissance and harassment. Together with these powerful cavalry, his combat system was finally initially established.
Completely ignoring the other God-chosen heroes who had watched the show until the end, Levi simply nodded at the other party very seriously: "I will definitely do my best!"
Reiner nodded and left with a heavy heart. It can be seen that he was really worried about this matter, but he was helpless for a while because he was neither a lord nor a general, but just a captain of the Silver Helmet Knights.
As soon as he left, the strange thing that had just been listening from beginning to end without interrupting him suddenly looked over with excitement: "Boss Levi!"
Without even saying a second word, Levi knew that the other party definitely wanted to complete this task with him.
Although he did not accept the mission, according to the game's convention, as long as he participated in it and made certain contributions, the indigenous people would not forget him when the mission was completed.
Levi also nodded: "Okay, then you'll be one of us. Starting tomorrow, we'll go to the Stoney Highlands together."
Anyway, this mission obviously requires a lot of cannon fodder. So far, he has teamed up with many God-chosen heroes, but the casualties of the opponents were heavy every time. I hope Richie can hold on this time...
