Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 198: Star of Destruction, Legendary Deeds
A quarter of an hour later, the battle was completely over. No matter it was the horned demon that served as cannon fodder, the evil god king who was good at attrition warfare, or the extremely tough Soul-Judgement Demon, they all turned into rotten corpses in the end.
In front of the army of wood elves, most of them were no different and were easily crushed.
The only exception is probably the six-armed snake demons.
When their six swords were waving at the same time, Levi seemed to see a shining shield. No matter whether it was flying arrows, ordinary swords, or even the spears of the Wood Elf Giant Deer Knights, they would be easily cut into pieces by them.
When they twist their snake-like bodies and actually launch an attack, they appear more sharp and even elegant.
Yes, elegance. Levi saw in them superb martial arts skills that were rarely seen in ordinary warriors.
You have to know that before, whether it was Zhou Miyin, Simon, or Cindy, when they entered the battle, their attacks were methodical and straightforward, just trying to kill the enemy in the simplest and most efficient way. They rarely played any tricks. They all used pure military combat skills.
But Levi was sure that these six-armed snake demons were really skilled in martial arts, and no wonder they were called six-armed sword saints.
It was precisely because of their existence that the attack of the wood elves was hindered, but this was only temporary.
When the wood elf leader riding a huge black eagle swung his weapon and fired amber energy spears, the six-armed snake demons were no longer a problem.
The long swords in their hands and their seemingly tough scales were easily shattered by the opponent. Although they resisted with all their might, their heads were still smashed by the opponent in one go.
Levi also learned from the priests that this was the reinforcement they had been waiting for, the Lord of the Kunos Hunters - Tyrandor Destroyer.
He was originally the woodland lord of Agvilon, one of the twelve territories in the Great Forest of Athel Loren, the home of the Wood Elves.
The status of these twelve territories is similar to that of the ten kingdoms of the high elves, except that they are much smaller in scale. However, they undoubtedly possess quite high status and power.
However, in order to better search and hunt down his arch-enemy, the Beastmen, he resolutely transferred the position of lord to the legendary tree man Durthu. He himself led a large number of wood elves who had the same idea to embark on an expedition. They traveled to many places and now even to the overseas colonies of the high elves.
Although his exact strength is unknown, he is certainly an extremely powerful hero. Because he fights extremely fiercely and practices both magic and martial arts, he usually leads a large number of giant eagles to descend from the sky to inflict devastating blows on the enemy. Therefore, he has earned the title of Star of Destruction. Even now, outsiders often only know his title but not his real name and origins.
Then Lilith's priest told Levi that his weapon was called the Spear of Dess, and it was made by Dess, the legendary blacksmith of the Wood Elves.
It is worth mentioning that this Dais is almost indistinguishable from the elves' god of forging, Vaal, in terms of appearance and forging ability, and the temple where he lives is also named the Anvil of Vaal.
So although there has been no real confirmation from the gods, many insiders have already understood that Dais is the incarnation of the god of forging.
The Spear of Dess created by him is a genuine semi-artifact and also the most powerful weapon that mortals can use , because a true artifact often requires divine power to be fully driven.
There is no doubt that, not counting the projections of Orcus and the gods, the other party should be the strongest of all the indigenous people Levi has seen so far.
This made Levi slowly have an idea about the legendary black dragon Blake...
But he soon shook his head, not only because he was completely unfamiliar with the other party's temperament, but also because the other party was not of the same race as him and was not worthy of trust.
Perhaps, we need to wait until the legendary wizard Teclis arrives and then look for an opportunity.
In half a month, this legendary wood elf will obviously not leave too quickly. After all, in addition to catching and killing beastmen, they also hunt demons, and the acting lord here will definitely not miss such a powerful help.
After killing the six-armed snake demon, Star of Destruction rode a giant black eagle to the front of the temple.
Before, when the other party was flying in the sky, Levi didn't feel it, but when he got closer, he really felt the powerful pressure coming towards him, not only from the Star of Destruction, but also from the unique black giant eagle.
The wingspan of this thing is over 20 meters, which is several times larger than that of an ordinary giant eagle. It is probably some extremely rare mutant species.
Without paying any attention to Levi, Star of Destruction went straight to Lilith's priest and took a scarlet gem that was larger than an ordinary person's head from him. Then, without saying a word, he turned around and left.
The only time he glanced at Levi was when he gave her a very slight nod. If Levi hadn't been staring at him, he probably wouldn't have noticed it at all. It can be said that he was very aloof the whole time.
However, the system's prompts could not be false. With just a quick glance, Levi directly unlocked a new reputation level.
"Wood Elves - Agraviron Territory, neutral 80%."
This is enough to show that the other party is not really ignoring him, but is probably just naturally indifferent.
After many giant eagles soared into the sky again and the giant deer knights retreated into the darkness with a dexterity that was completely inconsistent with their size, the priests all breathed a sigh of relief, because they knew that today's events must be completely over.
The other party's behavior must mean that there is no threat here at all, and they have finally managed to survive.
Then they turned to Levi at the same time and bowed deeply: "Thank you very much for your help, Lord Levi. Without your wisdom and strength, the temple would have been conquered by the enemy. From now on, you will be a distinguished guest of our temple."
The system prompt also popped up at the right time.
"When facing a powerful enemy, you fully demonstrated your wisdom and strength, completed a nearly impossible task, and ultimately successfully delayed the arrival of reinforcements."
"Because of your hard work, a beastman regiment was completely wiped out, two beastman heroes died in battle, and at the same time, a conspiracy of the demons was shattered."
"Based on the comparison of the strength and casualties of both sides, this battle is evaluated as a legendary feat, with an experience value multiplier of 150%. The top five contributors (Levi, Donna, Diva, Lisa Dilan, and Cindy) will receive some additional experience value rewards, among which hero units will receive additional campaign experience value rewards."
"You have successfully thwarted the great conspiracy of the beastmen and the demons. Your legend level is +1, currently 2."
"You have obtained 3 limited resurrection scrolls. You can revive friendly targets that died in this battle, or save them for later use."
“The target must meet all three of the following conditions:
Death within 24 hours;
The target can be your subordinates, friendly forces fighting alongside you, or yourself;
The target cannot exceed level 10/tier 5.
The target will not suffer any loss in this way.”
"You have gained the recognition of Lilith, the goddess of fairy dreams and innocence. Your reputation level with her temple has increased to friendly 30%."
“You have gained the recognition of the elven goddess of prophecy and illusion, Sehani Moonbow. Your reputation with her temple has been raised to respected. Although you are not her believer, you still have the right to recruit troops from her temple. The troops you can currently recruit are level 0-3 (unlimited), and level 4 (limited to 5 people per week).
You have been granted the right to build a temple to Sehanine Moonbow. Please consult with the priests and other relevant personnel."
"Because of your heroic performance, the followers of Sehanni Moonbow - the night elves admire you very much. Your reputation level has been raised to friendly 50%."
Seeing this, Levi felt a little confused. They clearly protected Lilith's temple this time, so why was their improved reputation so much lower than that of Shahanni Moonbow?
Obviously, both of them are rooster gods with weak divine powers, so the difficulty of improving their reputation should be about the same, right?
Could it be that this trouble didn't originally belong to Lilith, and she was just an innocent victim? That's why she behaved like this?
Moreover, he had not expected that the night elves would be the tribe of Sehanine Moonbow. Although the night elves were much smaller than the high elves and wood elves, they should not be controlled by a weak god, right? Even if her priesthood included the moon!
However, he just thought about this question. The gods were still too far away from him. Although the three resurrection scrolls had certain limitations, they were indeed generous enough. Now he didn't have to worry too much about losing Donna or Cindy.
It’s just a pity that he didn’t give his subordinates a chance to advance as a reward this time, otherwise he would be ecstatic no matter who got the spot.
"You have obtained information about inferior horned beasts, horned beasts, great horned beasts, gore beasts, minotaurs, etc. Please click to view."
"As you continue to defeat demons and other evil enemies, your faction has changed to Lawful Good. The initial reputation of some factions and races has increased, and the speed of gaining reputation has increased. The effects of a few skills may be strengthened as a result."
"Your campaign level has been raised to 4. You can choose new campaign skills."
1. Primary artillery, improves the attack power of long-range war equipment, the degree of improvement is based on attack (battle attribute);
2. Primary magic resistance, increases the magic resistance of all troops by 2 points, and has a certain chance to invalidate the enemy's low-level negative magic. The basic invalidation probability is 1%, and the additional probability is based on defense and knowledge (campaign attribute);
3. Elementary mysticism: increases the magic recovery speed of all subordinates by 10%, and allows them to recover an additional amount of magic every half hour. The basic recovery value is 3, and the additional value is based on knowledge (campaign attribute).
Levi took a quick look and found that except for artillery, which he did not need for the time being, the remaining two options were both very good.
Magic resistance can improve the survivability of all troops when subjected to magic attacks, while mysticism can improve everyone's endurance. Whether it is Cindy, Janet, the new priests, or Simon and others, they all need this aspect, but unfortunately you can't have both.
After hesitating for a while, he finally chose elementary mysticism, because his defense and knowledge in the battle attributes were still 0, and it was easy for him to make a choice between 1% and 3.
"Donna's campaign level increased to 4, and she chose to increase her attack, 5→6."
She can choose one campaign skill:
1. Primary defense skill, which increases the defense of all your troops. The basic increase value is 3, and the additional value is based on defense (battle attribute);
2. Primary First Aid, which improves the healing effect of your own healing spells and medical tents. The degree of improvement is based on knowledge (campaign attribute);
3. Elementary Archery: Increases the attack power of all your ranged troops. The basic increase is 2, and the additional value is based on attack (campaign attribute).
"Donna's campaign level increased to 5, and she chose to increase her attack, 6→7."
As always, Donna still insisted on her fighting style, and there was no hesitation among the three options, she had to choose elementary archery!
"Your pet Xiao Qi has been upgraded. Its rainbow jet has been upgraded to six colors, and the newly added ray is indigo. It causes petrification damage, and the cost has been increased to 9."
"Your pet Xiaoqi has gained a new ability - talking with the master. It can communicate with the master through sound, as if they were using the same ordinary language. Others cannot understand their communication without the help of magic."
Xiaoqi's rainbow jet has become even stronger. Although the consumption is a little higher, it is not a big problem. It's a pity that it can't use the equipment of humanoid creatures, otherwise its combat effectiveness will be further enhanced.
As for the ability to talk with its master, it can only be said to be better than nothing, because he can communicate with it through mental link. Moreover, as a colorful parrot and a smart magical pet, it can already speak some simple words or even complete sentences.
Then came a series of information about the advancement of his subordinates. They were basically ranged units. Many half-elves advanced to Eagle Eye Archers, and several Sky Eagle Archers advanced to Level 4 Sky Eagle Archers, including the lucky elite unit from last time. Now he had a greater chance of becoming a captain under Donna.
The new skills they acquired are the same as those of the half-elves, which are Eagle Eyes that can increase maximum vision and critical strike rate. They are still very practical. And because they are high elves, their potential has not reached its limit, and they can still continue to advance.
Cindy, Janet and the bard are almost close to their next advancement, because they have contributed so much in this battle and they drank so many bottles of magic potions alone.
As for the melee troops, few of them were advanced, because they had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles, especially the Spartans led by Leonidas, almost all of them died. However, as a team leader, he did not feel sad at all, because for them, the Spartans, dying on the battlefield was the highest honor for a warrior.
The only one who successfully advanced was Zhou Miyin, the leader of the infantry.
Armed with a bloody spear, he has been fighting on the front line. With the Troll Blood Bracelet, his survivability is far superior to that of most infantrymen. Combined with his long-term efforts, he can finally advance.
And no one knows whether it is because of his natural talent or because his performance in this battle was too outstanding, but he actually has three different advancement options this time.
Branch 1, the Iron Frontier Army, guards the borders, is good at resisting the Earth Wolf Cavalry and the Huns and other corrupted humans, but is a heavy armored unit with poor agility, and requires 4.5 silver coins;
Branch 2, Jade Warrior Guard, the hero among the Jade Warriors, when standing still, will gain additional defense enhancement, 5 silver coins;
Branch 3, the Heavenly Guards, warriors who have fought for a hundred battles, are often the most reliable guards of the Heavenly Dragonborn and require 6 silver coins.
Levi raised his eyebrows. In fact, from the introduction of the system and the cost of advancement, he already had the answer in his mind.
The Zhendan Dynasty is ruled by many dragon gods, and their sons and grandsons serve as lords and generals in various places to resist the invasion of evil demons. Most dragon gods do not stay in cities. They often live in a large number of flying cities called "Heaven".
From this perspective, there is no doubt which of the three branches has the greatest potential.
However, he still went through the usual process and asked Zhou Miyin for his opinion.
Zhou Miyin immediately chuckled: "Sir, of course you have to choose the Heavenly Court Dragon Guards. I heard from the elders of the clan that in the Zhendan Dynasty, if you can be promoted to the fifth-level Heavenly Court Dragon Guards and prove your loyalty, you may even have a chance to serve as the guards of the Dragon Gods in person!"
This was exactly what Levi wanted, so he readily upgraded the other party. Then he was very pleased to see that in addition to the improvement of the other party's attributes and the strengthening of the original skills, he also gained very practical new skills.
Hold On, an active skill, consumes 10 magic points, increases defense by 5 points and magic resistance by 5 points, and doubles the weight when resisting skills such as charge, knockback, and repel, lasting for 30 seconds.
Levi felt this problem when fighting against the trolls. Ordinary Jade Warriors Spearmen could easily be repelled and knocked away by enemies who were stronger and bigger.
Later, when fighting against various powerful enemies including the Abyss Badger, Granite Golem, and Evil Dragon's Descendant, this situation was manifested more than once, which made him a little worried for a while, but he didn't know how to solve it. He could only try to reduce the chance of powerful enemies approaching them.
Now it seems that the high-level infantrymen are not completely helpless in this regard, and since he has such a skill, he must also have magic with similar effects.
Zhou Miyin's current weight, including his armor, is estimated to be close to 200 kilograms. If it is doubled, it will be 600 kilograms. When fighting against ordinary tier 4 soldiers, he should not be easily knocked away. After all, he is alive and it is impossible for him to stand there and wait to be knocked away.
At this time, several big cats who had been wandering around, Supervisor Yakong, Julia, Lisadilan and others also came back. Unfortunately, there were more than fifty female hunters before the battle, but now there are only less than 10 left.
Looking at their few remaining troops and learning the details of their hard work, everyone was filled with emotion. Without their efforts, they might not have been able to hold out to the end.
Levi was especially impressed. No wonder when the wood elves were not included in the selection, Risadilan, a mounted archer, could be among the top five in contribution, even ahead of Cindy.
Because this guy is in a sense also a money-hungry person like the Sun Knight. In this battle, they have used up at least hundreds of magic scrolls, magic potions, and other consumable items such as amulets, and he probably won't be able to recover the costs.
Because Levi had just asked Inspector Yakon to take a look. The spoils of the two beastman heroes had already been taken away by Names, and the wood elves were not empty-handed either. Later, they picked up the spoils of a large number of demons. Although they were aloof, they did not show any mercy when it came to the spoils that truly belonged to them.
Although not all of them were taken away, what was left on the battlefield was definitely some junk.
Therefore, what is truly valuable is the beastmen they had killed before, for example, the level 4 Gor beasts and the level 5 Minotaur.
As for the other low-level beastmen's spoils, they are probably just things that can be sold for money.
Lisadiran also felt emotional and a little sad: "It's a pity that my most loyal Avalon, whom I almost regarded as my own sister, failed to return successfully. I hope she can enjoy herself in the temple of the gods."
Several other Avalons also placed one hand on their chest, intending to pray.
Levi then discovered that the number of Avalons had indeed changed compared to before the battle, but despite this, their strength was really strong enough. They killed so many enemies and their deaths were worthy.
However, looking at Lisadilan who was immersed in sadness, Levi had an idea. Should he waste a precious limited resurrection scroll here?
Although I am indeed a little reluctant to let him go, this buddy has really good character, and I should be able to take advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with the Kingdom of Avalon, right?
Just as he was grieving, Lisadilan found a hand in front of him, on which was placed a magic scroll that emitted a soft white light and looked to be definitely not an ordinary item.
At the same time, the exclamations of several pastors nearby and Levi's words seemed to confirm his guess.
"Go and save your companions. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited and I can't do more."
Lisadiran subconsciously stretched out his hand, and then as a large amount of information poured in, he was shocked: "Levi, you actually..."
Levi patted his shoulder: "Stop talking, we are comrades, aren't we?"
Lisa Dilan took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "We are not only comrades-in-arms, but also true friends who can be trusted with your back!"
Having said this, he directly activated the scroll. With the flickering light, a white magic circle emerged, and then an Avalon girl holding a blue and white magic bow opened her eyes in a daze. It seemed that she had no idea what was going on.
Then the Avalon girls around cheered and hugged him directly.
Lisa Dilan turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes, then nodded vigorously again: "Levi, she is almost like my sister. If you save her, it means I owe you a life!"
The system prompt sounded at the right time, saying that Levi had officially opened the reputation of the Kingdom of Avalon.
Levi immediately smiled and waved his hand: "Haha, it's useless for me to take your life. If there is another chance to fight against the devil in the future, call me again."
If it weren't for the other party, he would not have been able to catch up with these two consecutive battles and obtain so many rewards. He even felt that the other party was his lucky star.
Lisadiran was immediately more and more moved, and at the same time he secretly made up his mind. Although he could not choose to follow Levi because of his military post, he still had many brothers and sisters in his hometown, so perhaps he could send a message back?
At this time, Pastor Lilith, who had been praying for a long time, stood up from the ground again and looked at Levi with joy: "Lord Levi, the temple is safe now, and your efforts in this battle have been recognized by the goddess!"
System prompts:
"Goddess Lilith approves of your firm stance. She is somewhat surprised by your magical talent. You have gained her initial recognition. She has granted you a primary blessing. Your intelligence is increased by 1, your magic recovery speed is increased by 10%, and the effect of your racial talent - elven magic is enhanced."
"Elf magic, passive skill. Elves are born with extraordinary control over magic. Magic penetration +1. And every time you level up, the magic penetration will increase by another +1."
After seeing this hint, Levi couldn't remain calm for a moment. He originally thought that the other party was a bit stingy, but he didn't expect that the real big shot was here!
The original talent of the high elves is very suitable for mages. Now the magic penetration can be increased by 1 point every 1 level instead of every 2 levels. If his level is higher, this passive skill alone will increase the attack power higher than that of an ordinary staff, right?
"Since you are not a believer of the goddess Lilith, you are temporarily unable to obtain her higher-level blessings."
When seeing this sentence, Levi did feel a little bit sorry, but to be honest, the heroes chosen by God had no faith at all. Now, except for many priests and paladins who were forced to do so, perhaps only some thieves would choose to believe in the God of Thieves or the God of Shadows, etc., which could improve their ability to steal and survive.
So should I also consider this aspect?
But then he felt a little embarrassed, because he didn't know much about most of the gods. Different gods have completely different personalities, and the rules of faith in this game are very strict. It's not that you can just choose one and then immediately switch to a second god if you don't like it. If you do that, you will most likely be hated by both gods.
If he had to pick one, he felt that the goddess Lilith was generous enough. Unfortunately, she was just a weak chicken god...
Levi shook his head slightly and decided not to think about this problem for the time being, because the system's prompts did not end there!
"You have successfully completed a large hidden mission - The Flame Demon's Sealed Item. Based on your outstanding performance in this battle, your military rank has been promoted to lieutenant. You have unlocked military missions - plundering hostile forces and responding to war calls.
You have unlocked the authority to unite forces. During the war, if your military rank is the highest in a village, you can mobilize the forces of a village to a limited extent, not only temporarily mobilizing part of the garrison, but also commanding defensive battles, etc., even if the village belongs to another lord. "
"Due to your achievements and the goddess's appreciation, the high elves will make an exception and grant you a village as a fiefdom in advance. Please consult the relevant people on your own."
Although it had been anticipated, when Levi actually saw this message, he couldn't help but feel excited. It was just a mission in the middle of the night, and just for killing more than two thousand low-level beastmen, he was given such a generous reward?
This goddess Lilith might really deserve more attention!
