Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 197: Despair? Hope?
Almost in an instant, the most reckless Tiger Envoy who chose not to obey Levi's orders was overwhelmed by the herd of big-horned beasts. Then, with their remaining momentum, they pounced directly on the remaining Tiger Envoys and Patrolling Wolf Envoys.
Levi, who learned of this situation through his magical pet Xiao Qi, immediately gave another emergency order and reiterated his battle plan.
This time all the summoned creatures chose to obey and marched directly in the direction of the demons.
And because they were really attacked, their plan was much more realistic than the fake defeat plan Levi had arranged for them before.
At the same time, perhaps he finally felt that it was his turn , the Beast King roared again and personally joined the pursuit team.
Many summoned creatures fled all the way, and their numbers were getting smaller and smaller. Some of them had their summoning contracts severed, and some were actually killed by the enemy. Even with Levi's bonus, most of them were not very strong and could not resist the enemy's attacks at all.
Then they quickly approached the location of the demons. The Beast King seemed to have noticed this, but it did not show any intention of slowing down.
Because it has had enough of these cowardly and stupid demons, now it wants to personally kill these alien enemies that make it feel very uncomfortable in front of them, and then command the demons to attack the temple together, and then it will personally perform the sacrificial ceremony!
Then it was very surprised to find that some uninvited guests appeared in the demon army. They were some evil kings and a demon hero!
It instantly became alert, because the evil king was most famous for sacrifices, and now they appeared here, could they want to snatch this huge credit from it? This was not okay!
Levi had no idea what happened afterwards, because Xiao Qi had secretly flown back halfway, and the few remaining summoned creatures were killed instantly by the angry demon hero with the fireball technique.
Compared to the kobold wizard in the previous kobold camp, the area covered by her fireball may be slightly smaller, but the speed of release is obviously much faster.
However, half a minute later, the flames and roars that rose again in the distance, as well as the remaining beastmen who slowed down their attacks around the temple, seemed to explain everything to them very clearly.
The battle situation was developing in a more favorable direction for them, and the demons and beastmen actually had an internal conflict!
But Levi knew that this might just be a flash in the pan. Although the Beastmen had some backup plans, he didn't think that they could defeat so many evil gods, let alone Names who looked very cunning.
They must seize this brief opportunity to wipe out all the beastmen in one fell swoop, and then face the real demon army!
There was no need for any explanation. Levi quickly issued the latest battle orders, and then all his subordinates began to fight desperately. Similarly, many Yakong and Gaidin people who were summoned by him again also joined the battle.
Even the Tiger Envoys who had previously doubted Levi's command and wisdom, now chose to obey wholeheartedly like the Wolf Patrol Envoys, because the most skeptical companion had already warned them with his own life.
The priests from the two goddesses were still a little confused, but Levi didn't have the energy to explain it to them for the time being, not only because time was tight, but also because there was no need.
Not counting the huntress who went out, almost all of the melee infantry belonging to the temple had died in the previous fierce battle. Now there were only some night elf archers with almost no arrows and some priests with little magic left.
Although they had a lot of reserves, they were not enough in such a fierce battle.
After once again taking inventory of the various supplies in the space ring, Levi's heart couldn't help but slowly sink, because he didn't have much left in reserves.
If the demons summoned only a small number of elite troops, then it might be possible. However, if the other side still has a large number of cannon fodder, then our side may really be forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the losses will definitely increase sharply at that time.
And the most important thing is Names, as a hero unit, all signs have shown that she is a powerful fire magician!
At this moment, the flames in the distance disappeared, and the sound of explosions quickly died down. The beastmen around the temple seemed to have received some news. Almost in an instant, the remaining beastmen retreated like crazy and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
After such a long and fierce battle, they finally collapsed completely.
Zhou Miyin, who had been staying at the front line with the blood-red spear, couldn't help but show a look of relief when he saw this. Simon and others also felt relieved, but only a few people who knew the situation, such as Levi, showed solemn expressions.
Because they all knew that the reason for this situation was that it was almost certain that the Beast King had died at the hands of Names!
Levi turned to look at the pastor, intending to ask.
There was panic on her face, but she quickly calmed down. She didn't need to say anything because she had understood what Levi meant. She was certainly not a fool as she could guard a temple of such a scale.
"Lord Levi, there are still hundreds of refugees in the secret room. I will not leave, and I will not betray the glory of my Lord."
Another priest also realized: "Yes, Lord Levi, we will fight here until the last moment, so that we can ascend to the kingdom of God as soon as possible."
"But Lord Levi, you can choose to leave, and no god will blame you."
"No, as a proud Asur, how could I be a shameful deserter?"
Maybe Levi had wavered before, but now he has strengthened his belief. Things have come to this point, how could he possibly run away?
Not to mention what the gods who might be paying attention to this place would think, his mission rewards would definitely be greatly reduced!
Of course, he understood the other party's subtext. The other party wanted him to take the sealed object and leave, while they themselves delayed time here.
But if he guessed correctly, he would not be able to escape whether he had the seal or not.
The demon Nameth was so calculating that she even went so far as to kill the Beastmen hero herself. How could she not have some backup plans in place to prevent her own side from escaping with the seal?
"No, listen to me, Lord Levi"
Lilith's priest was about to explain, but a burst of fire, followed by a huge inverted pentagram formation shining, and Namis and many demons appeared together in an open space hundreds of meters away, which directly interrupted her unspoken words.
"Hehe, I have to admit that your resistance is unexpectedly tenacious."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. It is because of your presence that the sacrifice I am about to begin will go more smoothly."
Even though the distance made it difficult to see the other person's face for a moment, everyone could imagine that Names must be very proud at this moment.
As she spoke, hundreds of remaining demons rushed towards the ruined temple. At the same time, the Evil King continued to swing his whip, sacrificing the blood, corpses, and wailing souls on the battlefield.
Then, in less than half a second, at least fifty or sixty horned demons emerged from the magic circle, surrounded the temple in the first place, and completely shattered the priest's fantasy.
Unless they can fly, no one can escape.
After doing all this, the Evil King temporarily stopped his actions and continued to stand guard beside Namis, while the cunning female demon began to cast spells seriously.
The light of magic shone again, and dozens of powerful demons appeared in everyone's sight.
With their appearance, whether it was the priests of the two goddesses, other subordinates, or Levi himself, they couldn't help but feel a trace of despair in their hearts, because the opponent's strength was too powerful.
First, there were more than thirty abnormally fat boar-headed demons. They were about 6 meters tall, and their eight fingers were almost as thick as a baby's arm. Although they were unarmed, no one would doubt their destructive power on the battlefield. They were level 5 Soul Judges.
Although they look big and stupid, they can actually use a special evil aura that can cause shock, fear, and even dizziness to enemies in a small area. This makes them better than the evil gods of the same level 5 in both single combat and group combat.
Even Levi's current position would become extremely dangerous, because they could reach them directly by simply raising their arms slightly.
Even when Levi and the others were at their peak, it would be difficult for them to have any chance of winning against these demons.
But even more terrifying were the five half-human, half-snake monsters behind them.
There are many creatures that have both human and snake features, such as snake-men, Medusa or Naga, but these level 6 six-armed snake demons with six arms in the upper body and long snake-like bodies in the lower body are undoubtedly qualified to compete for the strongest throne.
Because they have six arms, like to fight with long swords, and have amazing martial arts skills, these guys are even called six-armed sword masters by those who like to gossip.
Although there are only five such powerful demons, if the influence of the hero units is removed and they are allowed to fight against the more than 2,000 beastmen, their killing efficiency may be higher than Levi and his men.
But now Names summoned them all out to deal with them who were already a remnant of the army, which really showed that he took them seriously.
After doing all this, Names finally smiled.
Although they were in a state of hostility and the other party was an evil demon, even Levi had to admit that this demon was indeed quite pretty. If all female demons were as pretty as her, it would be no wonder that so many people would be willing to throw themselves into the darkness.
"Surrender and hand over the sealed object. Perhaps I can consider giving you a chance to live."
But after hearing what Names said, no one was shaken at all, because everyone knew that demons, like devils, were full of lies in their words and could not be trusted at all.
The reason why they say this is simply because the other party feels that they have won the game, so they want to have some fun before the real massacre, just like a cat teasing a mouse.
For some of the more intelligent demons in the chaos camp, this kind of show is their favorite.
Therefore, everyone just silently clenched their weapons, and the priests kept making their final prayers to their gods, and it was obvious that they were ready to die in battle.
Levi didn't want to pay attention to it at first. He was busy giving his subordinates buffs. Although it seemed that his side was bound to lose the battle, he would never give up until the last moment. At least he would try his best to send Donna, Cindy and others out.
Although each temple can perform resurrection, and considering that I fought to the end, I guess Goddess Lilith might give me a discount on the resurrection fee, but if they can survive, I should try my best to let them leave here alive.
But suddenly, several inspectors who had been on the loose sent back a message. At the same time, Janet and Donna looked at him at the same time, their faces full of surprise. It was obvious that they had discovered the same thing.
Li Wei suppressed his inner excitement and pretended to be interested: "Can you let us go? What are your conditions?"
Namis laughed, stretched out her beautiful body seductively, and then pressed her flaming red lips lightly with one finger: "First of all, of course, you have to hand over the sealed object. It is not something you can keep."
"Secondly, handsome boy, you seem to be a very promising wizard. Why don't you join me? I will help you become a real man~"
Levi was stunned for a moment. He had thought that the other party would say something to try to undermine him, but he never expected that the other party would actually tease him!
And he always felt that the other party seemed to have something else in his words. What is a real man? Could you detect this?
Cindy next to him couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Shame on you!"
Although Donna didn't say anything, but when you hear the "clacking" sound of her teeth, you can tell that she is obviously very angry.
Although they were very restrained in order to avoid affecting the conversation between Levi and the other party, the powerful Names obviously noticed their movements.
She rolled her eyes and chuckled again: "Of course, sister can also help you become a real woman~"
Levi couldn't help but grin, wow, this is a universal plug?
Then in the next moment, a system prompt suddenly popped up.
"The demon hero Namis has extended a formal invitation to you. If you choose to accept her offer, she will transform you and your subordinates into demons to serve her together."
"Please note that since demons are the public enemy of all good and righteous factions in the main world, once you accept their proposal, the reputation levels of all the towns, villages, temples, etc. that you currently own will directly drop to hatred, and your subordinates will also make their own judgments."
"Depending on their intelligence, camp, race, and relationship with you, they will make different choices, including following, betraying, or rebelling."
Levi was surprised again. He didn't expect that this guy was not just joking, but was serious?
But of course he couldn't agree to the other party. Not to mention that once he turned into a demon, he would be hated by everyone and be hated by almost all races. Just the frequent infighting among the demons was something he couldn't accept.
In comparison, he still prefers the lawful camp. Even if it is lawful evil, it is much better than the chaotic and funny demons. The disorderly chaos is the real headache.
If it were a group of lawful evil devils, my body would have been cold by now and there would be no possibility of wasting time talking to them.
But there was no need to rush to refuse. He just pretended to be silent, as if he was thinking. After about ten seconds, when he saw that the other party seemed a little impatient, he quickly spoke.
"Isn't this a bit too hasty? I don't even know what kind of strength you have, nor do I know what benefits you can give me."
"And with your strength, even if you really get the Flame Demon's Sealed Item, you won't be able to control its power at all, right?"
Although he mainly wanted to delay time, he was actually somewhat doubtful.
Because the abyssal rifts nearby were created by Orcus, who was known as the "King of Undead Creatures". In many previous battles, they had frequently encountered various demons with the characteristics of undead creatures.
But this time, from beginning to end, they did not see any such demons, which inevitably made him feel confused.
Namis's face immediately turned cold, and he said impatiently: "This is not something you should consider, Elf. Now you just need to answer my question. Do you choose to join my army, or fight to death?"
Many natives looked at Levi with worried eyes, as if they were afraid that he would do something that they could not accept, but Donna, Cindy and others had no such doubts at all, because they already knew what Levi would choose.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Levi just shrugged very easily: "What a stupid question. I certainly won't choose to join the chaotic and stupid demons."
Nami immediately felt fooled. She swung her whip in anger, and a circle of flames instantly covered it: "Then you are courting your own death!"
The many demons around also took a few steps forward in a demonstrative manner and let out threatening roars at the same time.
But this time, Levi was not afraid at all. He just looked at the sky in the distance and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Oh? That may not be the case..."
Supervisor Yakong and several big cats had been wandering outside the battlefield, paying attention to the movements around them and waiting for the right opportunity to join the battle. Then they discovered something very surprising...
Nami was startled at once, and she subconsciously looked in that direction.
Then she was very surprised to find that countless giant eagles with a wingspan of nearly ten meters were flying across the sky carrying some elite warriors. There were so many of them that they even covered half of the sky.
At the front of all the giant eagles was a black giant eagle that was almost as big as a dragon. A bare-chested wood elf was standing proudly on its back. In addition to the long sword in his left hand, the spear he held tightly in his right hand was constantly emitting some kind of magnificent and vast energy fluctuations.
Although she didn't know the other person at all and had no idea where the weapon came from, she couldn't help but close her eyes in pain.
Because even though they were so far away, she could confirm one thing: it was the power from God. Even if it was not a real artifact, it was at least a semi-artifact!
In comparison, the many vibrations from the ground and the hundreds of giant deer knights leaping out of the darkness seemed less important.
Damn it, I was so close to success, almost within my grasp, but now all my plans have failed...
It’s all because of that damn elf!
After glaring at Levi fiercely, Names raised his hand and released a series of fire magic, which was cast on the surrounding demons.
"Bloodthirsty magic!"
"Fire control magic!"
"Fire Shield!"
After doing all this, many demons' eyes suddenly turned red, and even their breathing became heavier.
She then summoned a portal made of flames and immediately went in. Then she left only one sentence in the air: "Elf, I will remember you!"
But facing this threat, Levi didn't take it seriously at all. You are not the only powerful enemy who hates him. There is also the King of Gnolls Yeenoghu and the legendary black dragon Blake in front of him. Although you look very strong, there is obviously a certain gap compared to them, and the gap is not small, so you'd better line up first.
He just looked at the reinforcements that were approaching quickly, those giant eagles that looked like miniature fighter planes. Whether it was their sharp claws and long beaks, or the archers on their backs, they were powerful attacks that ordinary horned demons could not resist.
At the same time, those three or four meter tall Giant Deer Knights were quickly surrounding the battlefield. It was obvious that they did not intend to let any enemy go.
As for the demons, whose fighting power was equally strong, they were thrown into chaos by the sudden departure of the hero and the attack. They had no time to continue besieging the temple and just started roaring.
Some were fighting desperately, some were fleeing, some were blindly charging in all directions, and there were even a few pig-headed Soul Judges who were still standing there in a daze. For a moment, the demons' biggest weakness was clearly revealed.
But they were already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, and now they were performing like this, how could they possibly survive?
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because they all knew that although the battle had not yet ended completely, the crisis to the temple had actually been resolved.
But at the same time, there are also people who are eager to try and want to join the battle again, not only to fight against evil, but also to make their own trial of bravery more perfect!
Looking at Donna like this, what else can Levi say?
"Come on, Donna, I'll go with you!"
"Brother Levi, Sister Donna, and me, and me!"
