Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 124: Epic Victory
After about half an hour, the battle finally came to an end. At the end, their speed in killing the enemies began to slow down.
On the one hand, even with the light ammunition trucks, their arrow inventory was rapidly decreasing. They had already used up a lot of them before arriving here, and in order to return smoothly, they had to leave some in reserve.
On the other hand, such high-intensity continuous shooting in a short period of time has begun to make the arms of many low-level shooters tremble. Physical strength is a hidden attribute. Although it cannot be directly seen on the system panel, it does exist.
As their physical strength was rapidly depleted, the shooters' hit rate and efficiency in killing the enemy began to decline continuously.
Although accuracy is not crucial for group battles, dozens or hundreds of arrows flying together are enough to destroy the enemy. What's more, there are at least eight hundred enemies below, so they will not miss the target even if they shoot randomly.
But this in itself already meant a bad signal. They didn't want all their ranged troops to be in shock or exhausted after this battle. They still had to save their strength to return to the village, and maybe even have to fight a few more battles. After all, this was already the central area of the Jackals.
So Levi and Donna made the same decision at the same time, which was to let the shooters slow down gradually, preferably combining work and rest so as not to overdraw their physical strength, while the melee troops should work harder.
Fortunately, since the Flame Portal was closed, the total number of demons was decreasing, and they finally won the battle without much difficulty.
At the same time, Levi also received recognition for his first epic victory in history.
To be honest, he really didn't expect to get such an evaluation. After all, although the number of these demons was large, their average strength was far inferior to his own.
But the facts have proved that although the system evaluation requirements are extremely high, when the number of enemies reaches a certain level, it seems to become more tolerant. After all, Levi and his team killed more than 10 times the number of enemies this time, and the losses were zero!
"Results of this battle: Our team killed 623 small monsters (level 0), 436 inferior demons (level 0), 287 babu demons (level 1), 175 slaughter demons (level 2), 97 ape demons (level 2), 7 Gog (level 2), 4 Magog (level 3), 6 hellhounds (level 3), 13 hell jackals (level 3), and 2 fly demons (level 3 elites). The casualties were zero."
"Based on the comparison of both sides' strength and casualties, this battle is evaluated as an epic victory, with an experience value multiplier of 135%. The top five contributors (Donna, Li Wei, Yuyong Jibing, Cindy, Zhou Miyin) will receive some additional experience value rewards."
"At the same time, one of your random non-elite subordinates will be promoted to an elite soldier, and two random subordinates will have the opportunity to be promoted (based on the strength of the enemies you defeated in this battle, their highest promotion will not exceed level 3)."
The top three were no surprise, but Levi didn't expect Cindy and Zhou Miyin to make it into the list. It seemed like they had really tried their best in the previous battles.
Especially Zhou Miyin, he doesn't have Cindy's psychic hammer, and relies entirely on the spear in his hand. He can defeat other Jade Warriors despite his disadvantageous attributes. Of course, it is because Levi equipped him with the best equipment and even gave him a troll blood bracelet that can continuously restore life in battle, but he is indeed worthy of encouragement and reward.
And looking at his current experience points, he is not far from the next advancement, by which time he will be able to command all the Jade Warriors with full justification.
"You have successfully thwarted a demon's plot. Your regional legend level has increased by 1. Your related tasks have made great progress. Please report to the corresponding high-level natives as soon as possible."
"You have disrupted a part of the plan of Yeenoghu, the Lord of the 422nd Layer of the Abyss - the Abyss Demon - the King of Jackals. Although it has not noticed you for the time being due to the difference in the speed of time passing between the Main World and the Abyss, if you perform other similar actions again, there will be a higher chance of attracting the enemy's hatred."
"You have obtained information about small monsters, inferior demons, etc. Please click to view it."
"You killed a large number of demonic enemies at once. You have obtained the campaign title - Demon Slayer (Elementary). When fighting against demonic enemies, the attack power of all your soldiers will be increased by 1 and the health will be increased by 5."
Although the process was somewhat dangerous at one point, the rewards were indeed generous. And that’s not all. After killing so many enemies, the half-elves who contributed a lot got the opportunity to advance.
At the same time, there are hundreds of demon corpses on the ground, waiting for them to be looted!
If it weren't for the system's calculations, Levi wouldn't have known that they had killed thousands of enemies in one battle. Even with Levi's current strength, there would be a reduction in experience points for killing level 0 monsters, and even if he had to share them with Donna and many subordinates, he still gained thousands of experience points at one time, and nearly a thousand points of additional battle experience as a reward.
Adding to his previous accumulation, he can choose to upgrade either the combat level or the campaign level. Similarly, Donna has almost enough, but if they want to upgrade again, their upgrade speed will become slower and slower.
As for Yenogu's hatred, it may seem scary at first glance, but in reality, it is just that simple.
The main world is a place of protection for the gods. There are at least hundreds of good, neutral or evil gods from all races. Although they are from different camps and races, their believers and priests often go to war, but they will never allow demons to invade the world on a large scale.
Moreover, most of the abyss demons are only strong in their own territories and can be compared with some of the weakest gods. If they leave their nests and go to other places, their strength will drop drastically.
Because the gods cannot invade the Abyss, if Yeenoghu stays in his own territory and does some small things, they can only watch.
But if it really dares to extend its claws to the main world and attack a God-chosen hero, who knows who will die first!
All in all, this threat does exist, but the probability is very slim, and for Yenogu, the cost will be extremely huge, which is completely not worth it.
The most it could do was probably to order the gnolls under its command to attack Levi continuously, but for the moment, this was actually the best situation, because all the gnolls meant military merit points!
The only thing that worried Levi was that he still didn't understand what the dead Chaos Dwarf hero was doing in the swamp.
If he really colluded with the gnolls and even the demons here, what he did would probably not be so simple. Did he also want to summon more demons at the beginning?
At this time, another new system prompt popped up, which surprised Levi very much.
"Your subordinate Crane Gunner killed the demon tribe's battle hero - Dennis Stinkfly. The killer received extra experience points as a reward, and the chance of breaking through to an elite unit was greatly increased. Since the opponent was able to enter the main world after suppressing his strength, you only received some experience points for the kill and 2 fragments of the hero's spirit."
"You killed the demon tribe's battle hero. Your reputation among the demons has dropped significantly and is currently hatred. Your reputation among the stinkfly tribe has also dropped significantly and is currently hatred."
Both of these system prompts reveal a lot of information.
It is said that demons in their own Abyss will have special rules and a certain degree of immortality.
There, even if they are killed, they will not completely perish, but will be transformed into the lowest level demon maggots, and then advance again into many demons through continuous fighting.
It is said that some powerful demons can retain some of their power even after death, so they do not turn into maggots, but start climbing up again from mid- to high-level demons.
As for the strongest wave, big bosses such as the Demon Lord, even if they are killed in other places outside the Abyss, they will not die, and will not even degenerate, but their strength will be damaged for a short period of time.
Corresponding to this are the devils in the Nine Hells, who also have similar rules.
It is precisely because of this that, although angels, archons and even the gods of the good camp all know that demons and devils are the evil shadows of this world, they are powerless to change the status quo.
Of course, the world is always fair. Demons and devils have such special benefits, but they will naturally pay a certain price. One of them is that it is difficult for them to leave their nests and come to the main world.
Although it is not absolute, their strength will be suppressed to a certain extent. The more powerful the demon is, the more difficult it is for it to come to the main world, and the greater the price they have to pay.
This is also the fundamental reason why there are usually only a few demons in the main world, and most of them live on the edge of the world or in some extremely hidden corners, living a life like mice, fearing that they will be besieged by many good camps.
This fly demon fighting hero came to the main world after suppressing his own strength. So who summoned him in the first place?
Is it Hogg the Gnoll, or the dead Chaos Dwarf hero?
But that can only be a question for now, because the information currently available is still very limited, so Li Weixian put it behind him. He was just more surprised at his gains.
He knew that the fly demon was very powerful, but he never expected that he was actually a heroic unit. Moreover, from the rewards, it could be seen that he was even stronger than the Chaos Dwarf hero they killed last time. He actually gave him two fragments of the Hero's Spirit.
The only thing he didn't quite understand was why the system specifically marked that the other party was a combat hero?
Considering that all the demons before had not received any special combat attribute enhancements, Levi had a rough guess. Could it be that the opponent was only specialized in combat and did not possess any combat attributes or combat skills?
But no matter what, this time it can be said that the harvest is fruitful. With these two fragments of the hero's spirit, plus the one in Donna's hand, he can synthesize a real hero's spirit and hope to gain the loyalty of a new hero!
"Through continuous battles, your hero unit Donna Drake's heroic demeanor has won the admiration and praise of everyone. Her charm attribute is +1."
This was another unexpected surprise. Levi had never expected that he could obtain attributes in this way.
"Yeah, I've advanced too!"
Following a cry of surprise, Levi immediately saw a glimmer of light. Cindy successfully advanced to level 3, and he was very surprised to find that not only did her various attributes increase slightly, she also gained more than one new magic, and even retained all her experience points!
Cindy Rebecca, Tier 3 (Elite) (46%), Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 7, Constitution 8, Intelligence 8, Perception 7, Charisma 6.
Life 88 (8X10X0.8+24), Magic 64 (8X10X0.8)
New divine spell 1, Ghost-breaking Elegy, active skill, consumes 12 magic points, makes a virtual creature enter a semi-solid form, at this time all physical attacks can cause half damage to it, magic, divine spells, magic weapons, etc. can cause full damage, the success rate is based on the comparison between its own comprehensive attributes and the opponent's strength, the duration is based on its own intelligence and class attributes, and currently lasts up to 11 seconds;
New divine spell 2, Spear of Pure Good, active skill, consumes 10 magic points, shoots out a platinum energy spear, causing magic damage of 2-5 times the intelligence of the enemy to the evil camp, the effect on the neutral camp is halved, and there is no damage to the good camp.
Levi could see that although Cindy's attributes were nothing when taken individually, and might even be at the lower level among the same level, she was balanced and had extremely high growth potential. If she were allowed to advance a few more times, her attributes would probably surpass Donna's!
Cindy was delighted and encouraged by the improvement of her strength. Her sister Janet, as well as Donna, Zhou Miyin and others came forward to congratulate her. Levi was also very happy. He would go back and buy some more magic arts such as blessed holy water and kind weapons. When encountering the undead, especially ghosts and other enemies in the future, the big loli would definitely beat them to a pulp.
Moreover, this special advancement actually allowed her to retain all her experience points. According to the current situation, it won’t be long before she can advance again, and her strength will surely increase further by then.
In fact, up to now, there seems to be no level 4 units under the command of all the God-chosen heroes. Levi really hopes that Cindy can be the first.
However, while feeling a little happy, Levi also found that there seemed to be some tears in the big loli's eyes, and Simon next to her also looked very relieved, which made him feel a little strange.
Is it really because of their improved strength that they are performing like this?
The second advancement spot fell to a level 2 Guang Yakong. After he was promoted to level 3, he knelt on one knee on the spot and swore allegiance to Levi, just like the medium-sized wind element before.
Yakong, who was promoted to an elite for killing the Shadow Demon, chose to follow without hesitation.
Of course Levi would not refuse. This battle was also thanks to several Guang Yakongs. Their anti-evil magic rings seemed inconspicuous, but precisely because of this little extra defense, ordinary low-level demons had no way to deal .
As for the last and most precious opportunity for elite advancement, it fell on Simon.
To be honest, even though the opponent's attributes were improved and he gained an additional sweeping skill, Levi was not particularly satisfied.
Although Simon is also a rare soldier, he is actually a meat shield with a sword and shield. In addition, he has a temporary debuff of lameness, agility -2, and movement speed reduced by 15%. This makes him more often assisting and guarding the big loli Cindy rather than killing the enemy.
Because Levi also favored Cindy very much, he had always tolerated her behavior. However, if this precious opportunity could fall on the Jade Warriors or the animal trainers, he would be very satisfied. However, he felt a little sorry that it fell on Simon.
But now that things have come to this, there is no need for him to be the bad guy anymore, so he just pretended nothing had happened and praised the other person with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, Simon, who had always been very quiet and calm, was unexpectedly excited this time, perhaps even more excited than the big loli next to him.
Levi felt a little surprised, but he still had to say what he had to say: "Simon, since you have become an elite soldier, you should work hard from now on. Your previous injuries are almost healed. Don't you still want to become a cavalryman? As long as you keep working hard, you still have a great chance."
"Yes, thank you Lord Levi, I will work hard and strive to be promoted to the cavalry unit as soon as possible!"
Seeing this man who was probably in his thirties so excited, Levi's mood also fluctuated a little. The reason why Simon behaved like that before was probably related to his past or even his injuries.
But now that he was unexpectedly promoted to an elite unit today, it seems that the passion in his heart has been rekindled. In this case, perhaps his future is really worth looking forward to .
After upgrading the half-elves one by one, Levi also reorganized the list of his troops.
First are the level 3 ones, including Cindy, Simon, five Jade Halberd Soldiers, one Flame War Goose, two Guang Yakongs, four Half-elf Archers, four Bee Soldiers, one Glazed Jade Lion, and three Crane Gunners.
Next are the 2nd level ones, including Zhou Miyin, Janet, Sam, 10 Jade Warriors, a medium-sized wind element, a beast tamer, 32 half-elf longbowmen + archers, 5 old hunters, 8 half-elf warriors and other lancers and spearmen, and 5 bee-man drones.
The last level includes two ordinary war geese, some half-elf soldiers, half-elf hunters and bee soldiers, etc. Their number is relatively small because in the frequent high-intensity battles, they have either advanced or died on the battlefield.
It is also foreseeable that their numbers will become smaller and smaller in the future. Levi is also constantly improving the average strength of the team. Bringing out too weak soldiers is almost the same as letting them die.
In addition, there are some level 0 giant bees, which are temporarily under the command and training of the trainers. Levi is too lazy to care about them, because even if they are advanced, they are just level 1 soldiers. Apart from mixing with the bees for reconnaissance, they are almost useless. Just treat them as a way to train the trainers' abilities.
But after this calculation, Levi found that both he and Donna's leadership was a little insufficient. And that was not counting the Arion cavalry stationed outside. Once the mission was completed, there was a high probability that they would choose to join their team. They were all level 3 soldiers, and they required a lot of leadership.
So they both chose to increase the battle level at the same time, but Donna chose to increase the attack as usual, while Levi chose to increase the leadership.
1 point of leadership can increase the maximum leadership by 20 points. At the same time, it also has a certain bonus to the hidden attribute of morale. Now that the sources of troops under Levi's command are becoming more and more complicated, this attribute is exactly what is needed.
In this way, their leadership is barely enough, but Levi feels that this is not a solution. If more subordinates advance or if they encounter any new soldiers to recruit on the road, his leadership will not be enough. At that time, he may only let Zhou Miyin play the role of captain and temporarily assign 10 spearmen.
After returning to the village, he might have to spend some of his military merit points to exchange for treasures or skills to enhance his leadership.
Now Levi has seen clearly that although the Heart of the Village is very valuable, it is not the most practical option for him.
After a brief communication with Donna, she also agreed. At the same time, Levi also discovered that Donna also had an additional title of Demon Slayer, with the same effect. It seems that this title can be obtained by all heroic units.
However, they had killed quite a number of gnolls before, but did not get such a title. Is it because they had to kill a large number of enemies of a specific race at one time, or is it related to that special fly demon hero among them?
Shaking his head gently, not thinking about it anymore, Levi took out two fragments of the hero's spirit: "Donna, this is yours."
Donna was stunned at first, then she showed a very rare expression of being touched, but it was only for a moment, she turned and laughed again, and said in a very careless manner: "Okay, Levi, we are so familiar with each other, I won't thank you, and if it succeeds, maybe you will thank me!"
Levi's expression changed slightly: "If there is anything you need my help with, just tell me."
Donna thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, I have. First, prepare 10 gold coins and 10 small elemental crystals of any attribute for me. Also, prepare a battle axe and a set of armor."
"Of course, you don't have to be too anxious. I think it may take some time before it can be used."
As soon as he said this, Levi became more certain of his guess. Although what Donna wanted was very valuable, if he succeeded, he would definitely gain a lot!
But since she didn't want to talk about it for the time being, Levi didn't ask. After thinking about it, he changed the subject: "Donna, how much information do you know about combat heroes? The fly demon before was a combat hero."
Donna suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
"Combat heroes, as the name suggests, are heroes who have given up battle attributes and skills and instead specialize in combat. Although they can command a small number of subordinates, they have forever lost their battle levels. Not only can they not enhance their subordinates, they can't even use many battle treasures."
"But there are quite a few people who choose this path, because becoming a combat hero is much easier than becoming a battle hero like me, and it also has fewer disadvantages. Since you were originally a militia, then you should continue to fight in the militia way."
After thinking for a while, she added: "This doesn't mean that their talents are worse. It's just that everyone makes different choices. Some of us Amazons choose to advance to combat heroes because we are too lazy to command our subordinates."
Levi finally understood, but he was not averse to combat heroes. Isn't this just like Donna, who he had never really recruited before? Even if she didn't command the troops, her combat effectiveness was quite reliable!
