Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 156: The Fall of Black Castle
When they saw this large group of humans and half-elves joining the battlefield, Chen Zhui, the Last World, and the Witch Diva were both surprised, thinking that new enemies had appeared. After all, they, the gnolls, could be said to be notorious, especially with the incident of the demons, they would definitely be hated by everyone in the future.
However, they soon noticed Guang Yakong, who was charging with a sword in hand, and several familiar faces following him. They then felt relieved, knowing that the other party would not become their enemy for the time being.
But they were surprised again soon. The opponent was too powerful. Even the witch Diva couldn't help but feel a little scared. Because according to the comparison of the forces of both sides, if a conflict occurred, she might not be able to escape unscathed. After all, as a mage, her movement speed was not very good...
With the two sides attacking from the front and back, dozens of zombies were quickly killed. However, after seeing the troop lineup of the witch Tiva and the doomsday Chen Zhui, Levi was also a little surprised.
Although Donna had said last time that the opponent might be weak, he never expected that the opponent was so weak!
Apart from the dozen or so jackal harpooneers and some jackals that had obviously mutated and grown to giant sizes around Chen Zhui, there were actually less than thirty jackals in total. The rest were all ordinary jackals and hyenas. They were pure cannon fodder, and their numbers were very small.
In addition, the witch Tiva herself is not a powerful offensive wizard, so it is no wonder that they can fight against just a few dozen zombies.
Without any polite words, Chen Zhui came up and thanked him directly: "Levi, thank you for your help. I even regretted making an enemy of you in the first place."
The witch Diva also forced a smile: "Yes, it is not the right choice to be your enemy."
Strength is nothing, the most important thing is the opponent's growth rate. I thought the growth rate of Chen Zhui, the last elf next to me, was fast enough, but I didn't expect that this high elf was even more exaggerated. It's only been a few days, and there are so many powerful soldiers in front and behind him.
And if I am not mistaken, except for Guang Yakong, those guys with white hair all over their bodies, staring at me fiercely, should be members of the Gaiding Celestial Clan, right?
At this rate, it won’t take long for him to defeat me in the magic duel, right?
No, it might even be enough now. After all, I can hardly handle all those summoned creatures!
Although the opponents had two jackal faces, Levi could see that the effect he wanted had been achieved.
But on the surface he kept smiling: "There is no need for us to be enemies. This world is huge, with many continents, countless islands, a vast underground world, and countless other planes. There is no need for us to create eternal hatred for the sake of petty gains in front of us."
While speaking, he mainly looked at Chen Zhui of the End of the World. As for the witch Tiwa, although she looks very strong now, the biggest shortcoming of the indigenous people is their fighting enthusiasm.
They won't go out to kill monsters every day. Working for three days and resting for two days is considered diligent. Some adventurers may take a break for ten days or half a month after an adventure. Unless they follow a god-chosen hero like me, it is possible for them to make rapid progress in a short period of time.
The most obvious example is that on the first day, there were at least several hundred militiamen in the novice village, but now they are still militiamen. The one who chose to follow me and finally survived to the present day is a level 2 animal tamer.
The efforts of the past few days were much more efficient than those of the past few decades, although the cost was also very high and the trainer was the only survivor.
Chen Zhui of the Last World also nodded slowly: "Indeed, there is no need for us to be enemies forever."
Now that he realized the other party's ability and wisdom, there was really no need to continue to fight the enemy, as there were more vulnerable spots to be exploited elsewhere.
Seeing the witch Diva beside him nodding, Levi continued to smile: "That's great, but speaking of it, how did you become like this? Did those two guys do it again?"
Hearing this, the two gnolls gnashed their teeth at the same time. If it weren't for those two guys who were willing to surrender to the devil, they might not have ended up in such a miserable state.
But then Chen Zhui shook his head and chose to tell the truth: "No, those two guys somehow won the favor of Hogg, and now they are probably riding the flying castle to your high elf town. The reason why we became like this is entirely because of the demon's attack."
The witch Diva also sighed: "We overestimated our ability to hide. The sense of smell of these demons is much stronger than we thought."
Levi narrowed his eyes immediately, and he looked directly at Chen Cone, the Doomsday: "Where is their target? Is it Black Castle?"
Chen Zhui was a little surprised when he heard this: "Did you guess it?"
Levi suddenly felt that he was in a bit of trouble. Originally, the demons had more than one type of flying soldiers. The level 1 Quasser was already the easiest to deal with. But if the Black Castle was captured by the demon army and the dragon skeleton inside was awakened, they would have many more and stronger flying soldiers.
Although everyone generally believes that, except for a few special beings such as Death Knights and Liches, most undead creatures are weaker than when they were alive and have many additional weaknesses, whether it is a bone dragon, corpse dragon or ghost dragon, they should at least be fifth or sixth level soldiers, right?
The demons' behavior this time was completely different from usual. They acted in an orderly manner, one thing after another. They did not seem like warmongering demons, but more like scheming devils. This was definitely because of the orders of Orcus, the mastermind behind the scenes.
So what it is plotting may not be temporary destruction and killing, but real conquest. It wants to expand more and wider territories in the main world!
It is true that heroes are more likely to emerge in troubled times, but in this situation, the chances of being crushed would be even greater. After all, if even the indigenous people are unable to take care of themselves and are unable to protect their own towns and villages, where can they get surplus troops for themselves and others to recruit?
Thinking of this, Levi couldn't help but sigh. He could only do his best. He was far from being strong enough to change the situation.
"Those prisoners should not be dead yet?"
Chen Zhui shook his head. "I'm not sure. Since last night, these demons have been wandering around like crazy. We hid from them but couldn't get rid of them. They finally stopped when those big eyeballs flew away. If even we are like this, the fate of those captives may be even worse."
Levi couldn't help but frown more and more. He knew that what the other party said was indeed true. Looking at the task that still hadn't changed its status, he could only sigh: "Okay, anyway, take me to the destination first."
Chen Zhui of the Last World immediately followed suit: "That's no problem. In fact, we were planning to go and take a look at the situation."
After reaching a consensus, the few people moved forward together, but because of their different camps and races, they still kept a certain distance from each other.
Although the summoned Guang Yakong, Wolf Patrol and Mastiff Yakong were very confused about Levi's behavior, Levi quickly succeeded in convincing them.
Although the gnolls are evil, they are still a species native to the main world after all. But the demons are more evil and deserve to be killed more.
Now using the power of these jackals to hunt more demons is a kind of compromise, but overall, it is also for the purpose of better defeating the enemies of evil and practicing the path of justice!
After a brief thought, they all expressed their agreement, because Levi was not the first person to do this. Compared with the real evil like the demons, it was not a big problem to let a few jackals go.
Even further, even races like demons or devils, which are evil by nature, are not necessarily completely unusable or unforgivable.
Because there is a ready-made example. It is said that an angel once successfully redeemed a succubus. As a result, she became a succubus paladin who was not favored by any gods but successfully changed her camp and profession, becoming a unique succubus paladin only by relying on her firm belief in light and justice in her heart.
In comparison, Levi's use of the werewolves was not really an unforgivable thing.
After hearing this little story, Levi, Donna and others were amazed for a moment. Just by hearing this description, they could fully imagine how much effort this succubus had put in and how much she had to give up for it. After all, the succubus's many innate abilities were completely in conflict with those of a paladin.
After moving forward for a while, Chen Zhui said that they were almost at their destination, but there would probably be many enemies ahead.
Levi immediately asked his subordinates to be more alert. After crossing a small hill, he found that everything in front of him had changed dramatically.
The originally sparse grassland disappeared without a trace, replaced by ashes and raging flames all over the ground. The earth was also cracked and the topography of the place was permanently changed.
If magic is not used to restore it, I'm afraid nothing will be able to be grown in the future. This environment is suitable for demons, but it is definitely not suitable for the survival of humans, high elves or even werewolves.
Everywhere you look, you can see the charred bodies of various small animals. It is obvious that they did not have time to escape. But even so, there are very obvious marks of claws and teeth on their bodies. They were not killed for hunting, but simply for destruction.
Various low-level demons were wandering in groups of three or five on the scorched earth. There were also many Quasers flying around in groups like swarms of flies or mosquitoes.
As soon as he saw this situation, Levi knew that his reconnaissance work would be extremely difficult. At least he didn't dare to send Janet and her bee people out.
If Levi and others were just sighing, then Chen Zhui's mood at the end of the world would be much more complicated. After all, this was the novice village where he had lived for quite a while.
As for the witch Tiwa, she was so angry that she was shaking all over and couldn't even speak. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: Is this what Hogg said, the rise of the gnolls?
Although the Rocky Highlands were barren, they could still allow the Gnolls to survive. But now, the Gnolls here are forced to migrate outward to compete for territory , otherwise they will die.
But if there were no demons to support them, what would the gnolls have to fight other races with? Wouldn't that be a dead end?
Even since Hogg chose to cooperate with the devil, it has led the jackals here on a path of no return.
Either the demons won a great victory, occupied many territories, and abided by the agreement to reward Hogg and the newly born Purgatory Jackals with some of the territories, or the demons suffered a great defeat, and the Jackals were buried with them.
The witch Tiva was still full of anger and hatred, but Levi didn't have time to sigh too much. He just kept heading towards his destination.
As they continued to get closer to their target, the temperature around them became higher and higher, which made his heart sink even more.
Whether it was the gnolls or the demons, it was obviously impossible for them to provide food or water to the captives. After being locked up in this temperature for several days, even if their strength was far superior to that of the civilians, even if they were not killed, there would not necessarily be many survivors...
While he was thinking, a slightly excited male voice suddenly sounded: "Damn demon, we are high elves, the darlings of the gods and the world, proud Asur, we will never surrender!"
The voice echoed endlessly, and then another system prompt popped up: "After a hard fight, the demon army has successfully captured the town of Black Castle in the High Elf Kingdom of Caledor."
Levi and Chen Zhui of the Last World stopped at the same time. Although they knew they couldn't see anything, they still subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the black castle.
In such a short period of time, the most important and most strongly defended town of the High Elves in this area was captured?
"What's wrong with you?"
Looking at the two God-chosen heroes who suddenly stopped, Witch Tiwa was a little puzzled.
Since they had signed a contract with each other, they had a basic trust for the time being, and the atmosphere was also quite harmonious, so she was a lot more relaxed than before. However, she was not a chosen hero, so naturally she could not receive any system prompts.
"The demon's flying castle has overrun the High Elf town."
Tina's face changed when she heard this: "Then we have to speed up. Once the demons build their hellish town on the ruins and continue to open the portal, we will be in more and more danger."
She did not doubt the reliability of the news. The four words "God's chosen hero" had already explained everything.
She had even seen with her own eyes that the gods' chosen heroes who were killed came back to life not long after, without any hero altars, resurrection spells, wishes or other similar magic and divine arts, as if they were born with the ability to resurrect automatically. The gods were indeed particularly .
Levi also nodded: "Yes, it is indeed necessary to speed up the pace."
But he and the other party thought differently.
As the most notorious evil race, demons and devils have always found it difficult to invade the main world. They have only a handful of strongholds in this world, and they are basically in extremely remote areas or poor areas with particularly complex terrains. Moreover, according to the God-chosen heroes of these two races on the forum, the natives of the Order camp come to their doors almost every day.
But now the demon army has openly occupied a town of the high elves. Can the high elves tolerate this? Can the entire lawful camp tolerate this? Can the gods behind them tolerate this?
Of course there is only one answer: it is absolutely intolerable!
Therefore, you need to complete the tasks here as much as possible, and then run to the town to participate in this mission which involves a larger scope and more races!
