Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 164 Guild Action
A few hours later, the Sun Knight, Lightforged and others finally came with their troops to reinforce. Because Levi said that this place might be suitable for building a village, they even gave up their original plan to charge a fee at the entrance of the dungeon, and came directly here after completing the dungeon.
However, they encountered a group of demons on the way. Although they won the battle without a doubt, it still delayed them for quite a while.
Then the Sun Knight immediately reported the good news to Levi. In addition to successfully acquiring a village heart, his efficiency in recruiting people was also unexpectedly high. Looking around, there were at least nearly a thousand troops within sight.
Although in Levi's opinion, their average strength is not that good, but being able to gather so many people in such a short time is something that even Levi cannot guarantee. Perhaps this is the efficiency of money.
In other words, the Sun Knights actually regarded this action as the first official appearance of the War Heaven Guild?
Then the Sun Knight immediately invited Levi to join the guild and appointed him as vice president.
An organization like a guild cannot be established casually, because it involves the interests of many people, so he worked hard for an entire afternoon yesterday, and under the witness of the God of Justice and Contract, he managed to set up the framework.
However, after introducing the new members of the guild to Levi one by one, they were all a little dumbfounded when they looked at the current situation of Silent Manor.
The Lightforger couldn't help but shout, "What's going on, Levi? Has this place just been attacked by demons?"
That's right, the huge manor was full of potholes, and there were flames on the ground that had not yet burned out. It even seemed that the manor had been bombed and was in a shaky state.
Levi smiled, responded with a few casual remarks, and then selectively shared the information he had discovered with the other party.
There are several hours left before the other party arrives. He can't just sit here and wait, right?
So he found something to do, and the first thing he did was to ask his subordinates to continue searching for enemies that might be lurking outside the manor.
The three guys had buried their troops in the ground before and waited for an attack. Now that they are in their own territory, it is natural for them to do the same.
If a fight breaks out later, it will be quite uncomfortable if they attack us from both sides.
As expected, the mastiff chief Yakong and the wolf patrols, who had the keenest sense of smell, discovered several groups of enemies lurking underground, and then dug them out one by one and killed them easily. For this, they almost plowed the entire manor.
During this time, the three undead guys could no longer sit still. They tried to rush out and launch a counterattack more than once, but were easily repelled without any suspense. Even the ghost was killed instantly by Levi once again. After that, they basically stopped making any movement and could only watch Levi and his guys wreak havoc.
There is no way. The undead are most famous for their sea of cannon fodder, followed by various curses. Apart from magic, they have almost no decent long-range attacks. It is really difficult to fight back in this situation.
Then, with his abundant mana, Levi began to use micrometeors to bombard the unfinished buildings in the manor, further forcing the opponent to come out and fight him. Anyway, due to the existence of arcane conductors and magic potions, as long as he did not squander it, his magic was still relatively sufficient.
If the two crossbows did not require special skills to use properly and had relatively little ammunition, he would even want to blast them all together. After destroying those buildings, he would also gain a certain amount of experience points, even more than killing ordinary soldiers.
Reaper Ballista (War Machine), Attack 50-100, Defense 10, HP 435/500
Skill
1. When attacking a building during siege, the damage will be increased by 15%-35%;
2. Armor Break: Ignore 10-20 points of armor when attacking;
3. War Machines are not affected by morale or most negative skills. They cannot gain experience points through combat. After being attacked, they cannot heal themselves over time and need to be repaired by special repair skills.
4. Long range, maximum attack distance is 340 meters;
5. Fireproof coating, fire resistance +5;
6. State switching, which takes 5 seconds to switch between sniping and scattering, requires different types of ammunition. In the sniping state, the attack power is normal, and in the scattering state, the attack power is halved , but up to five crossbow arrows can be fired at the same time;
7. Bulky, the moving speed is greatly reduced;
8. Slow reloading, basic attack speed is 1 round/minute. When you master engineering, artillery, war machinery or other similar expertise or skills, you can slightly increase its reloading speed. Otherwise, it will not be able to exert its full power.
(Although gunpowder weapons have begun to circulate among humans and dwarves, the relatively cheap and safer ballista is still favored by most races)
Thanks to the excellent cooperation of the three guys, Levi seized a total of two such Reaper crossbows, as well as three different types of ammunition.
Compared to the arrows used by Donna and others, these giant arrows are generally more than one meter long and thicker in diameter than fingers. Their attack power starts at 10 points. Adding the power of the crossbow itself, it is no wonder that both Yu Yong and the half-elves would be seriously injured if they were hit by them.
At the same time, he also completely proved that the Dark Elves were supporting the Undead here. Although war machines such as ballistas and crossbows were basically owned by all mainstream races, only the Dark Elves had the one called the Reaper, which had two attack modes.
But the dark elves probably never thought of hiding it. After all, they have been mortal enemies of the high elves for a long time, right?
After listening to Levi's series of analysis, the Sun Knight and the Lightforged were gnashing their teeth, because they had all suffered some minor setbacks here before. Originally, they didn't take it too seriously. After all, losing to the natives was not a shameful thing.
But now it seems that the undead gods are actually behind this, and from what Levi said, the other party doesn't seem to be very smart. So what has he become? A big fool who is fooled by fools?
Therefore, this kind of deception can only be completely washed away with the opponent's blood!
At the same time, they were very interested in Levi's proposal.
This is the only way to the town and is considered an important transportation route. In addition to ordinary wild monsters, there are also some special terrains such as mass graves and haunted tombs around it. You can also kill undead monsters when you have nothing to do.
Not far to the north is a forest, where resources such as wood and stone are not scarce. Less than ten miles to the south is the sea.
At that time, it will be very convenient to travel to other villages and towns by water, or go directly to the islands further south to visit the Amazons and Lizardmen there, or to cause trouble for the dark elves.
Moreover, the area of this manor is very large. Even if it does not expand at all, the existing buildings alone can accommodate at least two to three thousand people. It is even several times larger than the Maple Leaf Village where they used to stay.
No matter from which perspective, it is indeed a good place to build a village.
But now, there is still a problem before them, which is to kill the undead entrenched in the manor!
Following an order, hundreds of subordinates rushed into the manor together. Then they were immediately ambushed at the entrance. Various traps were triggered one after another. For a moment, flames, ice, poison gas, etc. instantly illuminated the entrance with colorful lights. The first wave of troops that entered was almost wiped out.
But no one cared much, because this time their troops were large enough and the men who died in the battle were only a tiny part of them.
The Sun Knight waved his hand, and then many thieves, robbers and wanderers rushed forward and began to check and dismantle the traps ahead. Levi also asked Sam to join in the fun.
This kid hasn't participated in any formal battles recently, and his experience points have basically not been touched. His presence has been getting lower and lower. It's a good opportunity to take this opportunity to gain some experience points. It's rare to encounter a situation like this with traps all over the ground.
As they moved, large traps were dismantled and the road ahead became smooth again. However, seeing this scene, the guards inside could no longer sit still. With the sound of slightly noisy and heavy footsteps, a large number of undead swarmed out.
The Sun Knights and Lightforged immediately commanded their own troops to meet the enemy. In this special environment, all strategies and tactics had lost most of their meaning. What mattered was the hard power of each other. This would be a brutal war of attrition.
As more and more enemies emerged, everyone discovered that in addition to the more common humanoid soldiers such as skeletons, zombies, ghouls, and grave warriors, there were also many corpses from other races, and even some animal zombies.
Now everyone became more convinced of Levi's previous speculation that these undead must be related to the dark elves, otherwise it would be impossible for them to collect such a comprehensive collection on their own.
Especially after seeing several of them clearly, Donna couldn't help but wonder: "Why are there dinosaur corpses here? Could it be that those dark elves are going to provoke our Amazon Paradise Island, or the Lizard People?"
There are many types of dinosaurs and they are generally strong, but their distribution range is not particularly wide. Generally, there are more dinosaurs only in the rainforests where lizard people and Amazons live. They often drive these cold-blooded giant lizards to fight together, so it is no wonder that Donna would have such doubts.
Levi shrugged. "Yes, although the dark elves and high elves in the south have temporarily ceased fighting, the lizardmen will not let them go."
I don't know if it's because the territory is too large, so it's inevitable that there will be many enemies, or if the system or the gods intentionally weaken the strength of some powerful races. In short, the more powerful the race, the more enemies it will have to face at the same time.
For example, even though the High Elves have temporarily ceased fighting with the Dark Elves, they are also at war with multiple races including the Green-skinned Orcs, Skaven, and the newly emerged Demons.
Similarly, the Dark Elves are also fighting against Lizardmen, Ratmen, Pirates, etc. The others are fine, but the Lizardmen are really difficult to deal with.
There are many kinds of Lizardmen, each with its own faction. Most of them tend to be dark or evil, and their appearance and body shape vary greatly, so it is usually difficult to distinguish them.
But there is a most special kind of lizardmen among them, who will never be mistaken, and that is the guardian lizardmen. They are known as the guardians of order, and they have been so firmly practicing their own ideals, which is to protect the world and prevent it from being invaded by the evil races of chaos and destruction.
Moreover, compared with other lizardmen, they have no expression in their eyes, their movements are uniform, and the appearance of the same type of soldiers is almost exactly the same, just like some robots coming out of an assembly line. Therefore, when fighting, even if they have roughly the same attributes as the enemy, they can often win.
Now the dark elves have provoked these lizardmen, so they are inevitably dragged into the quagmire of war.
And Donna told me that the relationship between these lizardmen and the Amazons is a bit special. They are not allies, let alone helping each other. Sometimes there are even some small disputes and conflicts, especially when facing their favorite dinosaurs.
But when both sides face the enemy, the other side will subconsciously help, because they have all called themselves the guardians of order.
Judging from the current situation, if the dark elves cannot end the war with the Lizardmen as soon as possible, they may have to face a new enemy before long.
While chatting, Levi threw out a few magic spells from time to time, trying to gain some experience.
That's right, even with his strength, he can only muddle along now, because his own side is too powerful, and there is no need for him to use his full strength.
Although the Undead had been resisting the invasion with all their might, they were still defeated as their large forces attacked and the chosen heroes showed their abilities. Soon the ground was covered with their rotting corpses.
Not to mention that the journey was smooth, but there was basically no decent resistance either, which allowed Levi to enjoy a rare moment of relaxation.
All along, he and his subordinates had usually won with fewer troops, and rarely had the opportunity to crush the enemy like this.
But he had to admit that it felt really good.
Levi even had the mind to chat with the Sun Knight.
Then he learned that they had all made a small fortune because they had just completed a dungeon.
Levi thought about it and took out the negative energy crystals and vampire essence he got from the three guys.
Since the Sun Knight is planning to become a dark guard, he will definitely need these things in the future.
And although vampires have several weaknesses, in fact, as long as they are not used against the chosen heroes, but against the natives and wild monsters, their strength is still very strong.
The Sun Knight was overjoyed when he saw this, as this was exactly the key item he needed to change his job to a dark guard. However, the High Elves were lawful, neutral and kind, and it was impossible for something like this, which had something to do with darkness, to be sold in public. He had been trying to buy it for several days but failed. Levi had solved a big problem for him.
So after giving enough gold coins, he immediately returned the favor: "Levi, I heard from the Lightforger that you don't seem to have any offensive magic, and your priest subordinate doesn't seem to know how to perform healing magic, so the Lightforger and I decided to buy a few skill books for you."
"We were originally planning to continue to acquire some more powerful ones, and then give them to you all at once after the guild is established. But now that we have caught up, you can take them first. I hope you don't mind."
Levi immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at the Lightforger next to him.
Cindy is indeed not good at healing. Her best skill is to smash the enemy's heads with two hammers, but I don't have any offensive magic?
Do you think that the open space outside was lit up by me with torches?
But the Lightforger was unaware of his inner complaints. He just smiled and nodded: "That's right, Levi, although you didn't act with us, we all saw your efforts for the guild."
Then the other chosen heroes responded one after another: "That's right, Boss Levi, today's copy made me earn a lot of money!"
"Yes, Boss Levi, I should thank you for this!"
Although he was a new member recruited by the Sun Knights, because Levi often enchanted others, there were almost no God-chosen heroes nearby who didn't know or recognized him, so he was not completely a stranger.
"That's right, Levi. This is what everyone wants. You are the top mage in the guild and also the vice president. The stronger you are, the more famous our guild will be."
Although he knew the answer in his heart, he couldn't refuse everyone's kindness. The Sun Knight had already said this, so it was difficult for Levi to refuse, so he accepted it.
After getting it, Levi knew that the Sun Knight had indeed lost some blood.
Holy Rays (Level 1), an active skill, consumes 15 magic points, emits positive energy rays with both eyes, causing damage to the enemy. Initially, it has 2 rays, and for every 3 levels, an additional one is added. Each ray causes 5-13 damage (based on intelligence), and the damage to undead is increased by 30%.
Levi was not completely unfamiliar with this magic. He had once exchanged a magic scroll with similar effects from the thief Thousand Thieves, and had put in some effort to use it when dealing with the fly demon hero. Although this magic was not very powerful, it was quite cool to use. It was like being able to kill people with just the eyes.
But in terms of value alone, it may not even be one-tenth of the second magic.
Ice Ring (Level 2), an active skill, consumes 25 magic points, creates a circular ring centered on itself (the diameter of the ring is based on the level), causing 6-9 damage to enemies within the range (based on intelligence), and enemies attacked have a 30% chance to reduce their movement speed by 10%-25%, lasting up to 3 seconds, and have a 5%-10% chance to be frozen, unable to attack or move for 0.2-1 seconds.
Range attack, chance of slowing down, chance of freezing, these three effects are superimposed on one magic. Even Levi couldn't believe that it was just a tier 2 magic. For a low-level magician, this was a life-saving magic skill!
There was nothing to say, he learned both magics on the spot.
The last book was a book on treating minor injuries that was common to many professions, including priests, paladins, bards, druids, and rangers. He gave it directly to Cindy, but Levi felt that Cindy would not have many opportunities to use it. Although she looked cute, she was not just a nurse...
After learning, Levi thanked the Sun Knight and the Lightforger very seriously.
To be honest, he was not particularly enthusiastic about forming a guild in the beginning. He just thought that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so if possible, he would just add this one. But now he was a little touched. It was obvious that the Sun Knight could not have been acquired just now. It was very likely that he had already started preparing for it since they parted on that mission.
No matter what, Levi had to appreciate the favor.
Both of them waved their hands and didn't take it too seriously, but in fact they were quite happy in their hearts, and even a hint of pride could be seen at the corners of their mouths.
One of them is a wealthy man, and the other is a well-known master. However, ever since they met Levi, they have always been at a disadvantage, and sometimes even feel that they owe Levi something, which actually makes them somewhat uncomfortable. But now, Levi also thanks them in return, and they immediately feel much more comfortable.
After seeing the other party's performance, Levi was a little confused at first, but soon he laughed. So that's how it is. Do you two like this way of getting along?
That's great. I may have to trouble you more in the future.
The number of a wizard's 0th-level tricks exceeds fifty, and the number of 1st-level magics exceeds one hundred. Not only do they have their own characteristics, but even offensive magic is divided into multiple different attributes, which will play completely different roles when fighting against different types of enemies.
For example, the micro-meteors that Levi controls are very weak when fighting against demons that are naturally resistant to fire, but they are extremely refreshing when killing these undead. Therefore, Levi has always been eager to collect more magic.
But if you think about it, you will know that the amount of magic used by humans and high elves alone is definitely more than three digits, not to mention the unique magic of many other races.
Therefore, if he only relies on what he gains when upgrading, or collects with his own strength, I really don’t know how long it will take to collect everything. In this case, I’ll just leave it to you!
