Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 211 Michaela and Master
When they saw Levi standing on the white city wall and looking at them with a smile, the six descendants of the evil dragon and a dozen dragon warriors roared in unison and then charged directly towards him.
A high elf hero who was in charge of defending the city wall immediately used magic to send a warning to the other side, but was directly ignored by the other side. Even a descendant of the evil dragon spit out flames in a provocative manner.
I don't know whether they are brave enough or stupid enough, but the facts prove that these guys really dare to declare war on the defenders and rush straight to the city wall.
So after two consecutive warnings received no response, the hero defending the city directly ordered an attack, and forty or fifty crossbows and hundreds of archers started shooting at the same time.
Although the descendants of the evil dragon and the dragon warriors fanned the black flames and tried to use their archery skills and special abilities, facing such a dense and fierce attack, more than half of them were killed in an instant.
Their strength can restrain arrows to a certain extent, but its effect on crossbows is greatly reduced.
At this time, many defenders at the arrow tower also launched attacks. Not only ordinary bows and arrows, but also magic arrows mixed with blue and white flames. Those were from the Avalon sisters. The enemies who had just barely survived were completely killed on the spot this time.
From the time they appeared in sight until they were all dead, it only took a few minutes, which was astonishingly fast.
Then several teams of cavalry went to check the bodies, while the other defenders continued to patrol, guard, load arrows, etc. They did not even sound any alarms. It was obvious that they were no longer worried about such small-scale attacks.
Although the enemy this time was indeed capable, when they dared to provoke the defenders, their lives no longer belonged to them.
Although this farce did not cause any commotion among the defenders, Michaela next to Levi could not hide her surprise: "Descendants of the Evil Dragon and Dragon Warriors, Levi, is this the surprise you mentioned before?"
Levi smiled and said, "Yeah, is that enough?"
After receiving the system prompt, he did not let Michaela leave, but instead extended an invitation to her.
Although the other party has not yet explained her position and identity in the colony or Ashridge Town, just looking at her condescending attitude when she mentioned Lisadilan and Reiner, Levi knew that her identity was most likely high.
Moreover, she was very friendly to him, so now that he had caught up with her, he naturally wanted her to witness it with her own eyes.
Although Reiner had made reports before, they did not have any definite evidence at the time, but now these enemies who came to attack him were real.
At the same time, after these attackers were easily killed by the town's defenders like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, he also successfully received a prompt from the system saying that the old black dragon would not target him for the time being, which eliminated a small hidden danger.
That guy didn't know how to give them orders. If the conflict happened on the wild plains instead of in the town, he would have to pay some price even with his current strength.
But now they died so easily and didn't cause any waves at all.
"That's enough. Every time an evil dragon descendant appears, it means that a real metal dragon egg has been desecrated. Six evil dragon descendants just appeared. This is no small matter."
She was not only surprised, but more of a regret. If all those dragon eggs could be handed over to her, the power of the colony would definitely be strengthened to a considerable extent. After all, their Kingdom of Caledo was best at taming dragons.
Whether it is the evil five-colored dragon or the kind-hearted metal dragon, they can reach a consensus with it and even influence the other side's camp to a certain extent. This is the biggest secret of the Kingdom of Caledor.
Except for the white dragon, due to their own outstanding talents, most of the other dragons are level 7 soldiers when they grow up. They have powerful melee abilities, can breathe dragon breath, can fly, have their own dragon power, and their thick scales can block most physical and magical attacks. They are incredibly powerful and have no weaknesses at all.
They are even more formidable if they are willing and able to learn magic, as their magic is often more powerful than that of the average elven wizard, thanks to their natural talents.
In comparison, the descendants of evil dragons transformed by desecrating dragon eggs are only level 5 soldiers, which is really too wasteful.
As soon as he saw her expression, Levi knew exactly what she was thinking, because he had imagined the same thing.
"So after we finish the battle with the demons, maybe we should defeat the black dragon as soon as possible. Maybe some dragon eggs can be saved?"
Mikaela nodded immediately and decisively: "I understand. Reiner has already mentioned this matter to the Acting Lord. I will communicate with him, and then we will mention this matter to the Acting Lord again together."
"Even if the opponent is a legendary black dragon and may have obtained something related to God, with the addition of Archmage Teclis, our chances of winning are still very high."
In fact, she believed that the chance of winning was 100%, but out of courtesy, she did not say anything definite.
And she felt that if the target was really a legendary black dragon, even the Dragon Prince who was recuperating on the island of Oshuan would be very interested in it, right?
Levi nodded slightly, and became even more curious about the legendary wizard whom he had never met before .
Although they have never actually met each other, it seems that all the native high elves have full faith in his abilities and believe that he will be able to completely resolve the demon invasion. Even warriors like Reiner and Risadiran are no exception.
After a very brief silence, Michaela suddenly showed a very bright smile, and she looked straight at the sky in the distance: "Levi, it seems that our chances of winning have been further improved, because the acting lord has successfully returned."
Levi looked in the direction and found a giant beast with a golden red body, a wingspan of dozens of meters and probably more than 20 meters from head to tail. It was ferocious, majestic and gorgeous. It was breaking through the clouds and approaching rapidly. It was a real dragon!
Even from such a distance, the visual pressure was overwhelming. For such a terrifying beast, ordinary low-level soldiers would probably have exhausted all their courage just by standing in front of it, let alone attacking it.
In comparison, the giant eagles and griffins, which were dozens of meters behind and lower than it, although they usually looked very majestic, now seemed somewhat insignificant.
"Is that the acting lord's mount?"
Levi felt his throat a little dry. There was no doubt that the acting lord was a fire mage. If she could ride a dragon, didn't that mean he had the same chance?
"They are also partners. They don't think of themselves as mere mounts. Neither do we."
Levi finally understood. Indeed, whether in terms of strength or wisdom, the dragon was qualified enough to bargain with the high elves.
"Then, what qualifications do you need to..."
He didn't finish his words, but Camilla could certainly understand what he meant. She found it a little funny: "For us, if it is a level 20 legendary hero with at least the military rank of warlord, the kingdom will try its best to provide a dragon."
"As for your God-chosen heroes, I'm not quite sure yet, but I think the requirements are similar."
"In addition, those who have made great contributions or have been granted special permission by the Dragon Prince may also be granted the title of Dragon in advance. However, just thinking about it will show how much merit this requires. The Acting Lord is an exception, but at least I don't count on it."
Levi felt that what she said made sense. When he was doing missions before, the missions that rewarded military forces were often more difficult than ordinary missions, not to mention that it was now a level 7 dragon.
But do I need a level 20 legendary? It seems that this top-level beast is very rare even among high elves. I'm afraid it can't be treated as an ordinary consumable.
Thinking of this, Levi saw a giant dragon cutting through the sky and finally landing on an open space in the city. He also noticed with sharp eyes that on the dragon's back, in addition to a female wizard in a fiery red robe, who was somewhat similar to Michaela's dress, and should be the elf who was acting as the lord, there was also an even stranger guy.
The other person was wearing a cloak that covered his entire body, so he couldn't tell his gender, let alone his face. However, there was a circle of green flames on his body, fluttering in the wind like a cloak.
He can ride on the same dragon with the acting lord, so it is obvious that his status and strength should not be underestimated.
Perhaps, these were the reinforcements she summoned personally?
However, Michaela said that the acting lord was an exception. Could it be that her strength was not at the legendary level, but she obtained the dragon in advance?
"Well, would you mind telling me the real name of the acting lord?"
All along, everyone only called the other party the acting lord, but he had never actually heard the other party's name.
Michaela chuckled, "It's Princess Belinda Caledo."
Levi couldn't help but grin. Wow, if the surname Caledo only described the other party's bloodline, then the princess's value would undoubtedly be much .
Because for the high elves, the title of prince or princess is based on military merit and honor, not bloodline.
They are military positions of a higher level than generals. If Levi can accumulate enough military merit points in the future, he may even be called Prince Levi.
It was unknown how much contribution Belinda, the acting lord, had made to become a princess, and it was not difficult to understand why she was granted a dragon as an exception.
"Okay, Levi, I'm going to go meet Lady Belinda and greet that Lord. You should also prepare for tomorrow's battle."
That adult? As expected, that person is definitely not an ordinary person...
Thinking of this, Levi didn't ask any more questions, because Michaela obviously didn't want to talk more. He just nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, I'll go right away."
After today's conversation, he felt very satisfied. It would be absolutely difficult to get so much valuable information from the mouths of ordinary indigenous people.
Even during the time he was standing on the city wall, he noticed at least thirty or fifty envious and even jealous gazes looking at him from other places. They came from the many God-chosen heroes.
Michaela left with a smile. Similar to Levi, she was in a very good mood, even a little too excited, but she didn't show it.
Although she had said it was impossible before, if she really defeated the legendary black dragon and obtained some dragon eggs, and she made great contributions in the process, then is it possible that she would also be granted a real dragon in advance?
As soon as Michaela left, Levi saw at least twenty God-chosen heroes surrounding him.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why, do you have something to do?"
"Hello, I'm the vice president of the Wind Chaser Guild. I wonder if you, Master, have joined the guild?"
"We are the Storm Troop, and we are in need of powerful mages. Once you join, you will receive preferential treatment!"
"We are the Justice Angry Alliance, and we are in urgent need of a mage to lead the team. Brother Master, would you consider this?"
Many God-chosen heroes talked at once, and Levi finally realized that the other party was here to recruit people.
He immediately chuckled and shook his head: "Sorry, I'm the vice president of War Heaven - Levi, and I'm not considering changing jobs for the time being."
As soon as the words came out, there was a series of sighs around, but at the same time, more than one person suddenly realized.
"So that's it, you are Levi!"
"Ah, I've heard of you. I heard you're a master who rose to prominence in the missions in the Stoney Highlands area!"
Muttering like this, more people began to give up, because they all knew that they could not come up with the conditions to recruit Levi.
But they still came forward and wanted to add Levi as a friend. After all, he was so powerful and could even have a good chat with the famous wizard Mikaela. It was obvious that he had great potential, and it was always a good thing to make friends with him.
Levi did not refuse, and then he found that there were quite a few guilds entrenched in Ashridge Town, at least dozens of them, but he didn't know how strong they were compared to War Heaven.
After adding friends, most people started to leave soon, leaving only a young wizard wearing a green robe and looking quite handsome.
Li Wei thought the other party was still a lobbyist: "Sorry, I have no intention of considering changing jobs for the time being."
In fact, it is not just temporary. Unless something unexpected happens, he will never consider this issue again.
Because even if he changed jobs, he would still be a vice president at best. However, it was not easy to meet a president like the Sun Knight who had money, was generous enough and wise.
The risk is too great, but the reward may not be shocking. Unless he is stupid, he will never consider it.
The young wizard laughed: "No, don't get me wrong, I just want to make a friend. If we encounter an enemy that we can't deal with in the future, we may need your help. Don't worry, we will definitely not be stingy with the reward.
Levi didn't refuse. After all, more friends mean more paths. "Okay, who are you?"
The young wizard cleared his throat and said, "I am Master, the president of the Arcane Temple. We are not an ordinary guild. We only recruit wizards."
Levi found it a bit interesting. By now, basically all the God-chosen heroes who are not fools can see that this game has a special preference for magic professions, especially mages, warlocks and priests. Except for their lower health points, they are far superior to warriors in terms of output and assistance.
Although the warriors gradually began to master various special skills and powers as their levels increased, they were at best just vanguards and could not be considered fierce generals. They were completely incomparable to the wizard who could cause large-scale damage with a wave of his staff.
But despite this, a guild that only recruits mages is still a bit extreme.
The most obvious problem is that although their output will definitely be high, they lack high-quality cannon fodder. Moreover, because they have no priests, they also lack sustained combat capabilities. If they only rely on drinking life potions, it will be really expensive. Levi has a deep understanding of this.
"Okay, I understand. If there is a chance, we can cooperate."
He was indeed a little curious about what the fighting styles of other master mages were like.
After chatting for a few more sentences, probably to demonstrate his own strength, Master also revealed several hidden small tasks to Levi, and Levi naturally thanked him with a smile.
Although it is not clear yet whether the other party simply wants to make friends with him or has something to ask of him, he will not refuse such kindness.
At this moment, there was a cloud of dust in the distance, and an army of several thousand people was approaching quickly. They were the army heading to attack the Black Castle.
Levi quickly scanned a few times and found that in addition to some ragtag armies that were obviously led by the chosen heroes of God, there was also a group of wood elves whose main color was green.
They had very few types of soldiers, basically only two types of deer cavalry, one using spears and the other using bows and arrows, followed by some giant eagles, which occasionally carried some archers on their backs, and the leaders were the wood elves riding on huge black eagles, who were none other than the Star of Destruction and his minions who had briefly appeared at the Temple of Lilith before.
As for the quality of the High Elf natives' own troops, it was slightly beyond his expectations.
It's not that they are so strong, on the contrary, they seem a little weak.
Spearmen (with shields), archers, Lothern Sea Guards, Silver Guards, and Arion Cavalry, these troops that are no more than level 3 are their main force.
Then occasionally there were a small number of level 3 Sky Eagle Archers and Caledor Sentinels, level 4 Avalon Sisters, Silver Helmet Knights, White Lion Guards holding giant axes, and some crossbows pulled by carriages.
As for higher-level troops, there were only about less than 20 silver-white Ithilmar silver chariots, which were suspected to be tier 5 troops, and basically nothing else.
Although these troops are numerous, it is not easy to capture the black castle occupied by the demon army.
After all, the Black Castle has as high as 7th-level ghost dragons and 6th-level bone dragons, and other 4th- and 5th-level demon soldiers are also emerging in endlessly. The 3rd-level horned demons can only serve as cannon fodder, and the 2nd-level demons are almost equivalent to materials for sacrificial ceremonies.
There are quite a few hero units inside. At a rough glance, there are at least twenty of them. They ride various mounts and have a lot of magical equipment on them, which makes them very conspicuous.
Moreover, they come from different races, including high elves, wood elves, half-elves, humans, etc. They must be the guys that the White War Song refers to, those guys who were recruited by the natives in the tavern before.
But despite this, Levi still couldn't understand what they relied on to dare to actively attack the Black Castle. And looking at the jubilant expressions of those God-chosen heroes, it seemed that they had not suffered any losses?
But soon Levi decided not to let his imagination run wild, because he saw several familiar faces, the Lightforged and others in the guild, and over the past few days, he seemed to have recruited some new members on the spot, and there were probably nearly 20 God-chosen heroes in front and behind him.
But no matter what questions you have, just ask later.
So when he was still some distance away, he took the initiative to wave to the Lightforger.
The Lightforged soon noticed him, and he seemed very happy about the reunion, so a quarter of an hour later, they met in a tavern in the city.
At the same time, Levi was slightly surprised to find that the Lightforged had been doing quite well recently. In addition to updates to their equipment and armies, almost each of them had a hero unit by their side.
After completing the quest, the Lightforged successfully recruited the dwarf hero who had been staying in the tavern. Together with the human knight who had been carefully trained by him, he now had two heroes.
Of course, just a glance at Levi would tell you that, if nothing unexpected happens, few of the heroes behind these guys can compare to Leonidas, let alone Donna. Most of them were promoted using the Spirit of Heroes, and their potential is definitely not that high.
After a brief inquiry, he confirmed this guess. Their heroes are basically of white and gray quality. Either their attributes are not high, or their potential is low, or they carry negative status.
The worst guy even had all three elements, because his hero was promoted from a level 1 bandit. He did it just for fun, but now he has paid a heavy price for it...
After congratulating the Lightforged, Levi quickly got straight to the point and asked about today's battle situation and questions about the indigenous troops.
"It's not entirely that they are hiding their incompetence. Their main forces are indeed based on these Tier 3 and Tier 4 arms. The number of higher-level arms is also relatively small for the natives. In addition, the fall of Black Castle caused them to lose a large number of elite troops and many God-given buildings."
"Based on my observations over the past few days, the two types of soldiers they haven't deployed yet are: Shadow Warrior, a Tier 3 ranged soldier from the Kingdom of Nagarythe that can fire on the move, and Silver Helmeted Greatsword, a Tier 4 melee damage-dealing soldier. In addition, there are about a dozen Tier 3 and Tier 4 special soldiers, but they are generally few in number and not particularly strong."
"Oh, by the way, they also have a few dragons hidden, but I don't know their exact strength."
Although the Lightforged One's words solved some of Levi's doubts, he still didn't quite understand: "Then how can they fight against the demons of Black Castle? Are these heroes particularly strong?"
The Lightforger nodded repeatedly. "That's right. It's mainly because the heroes who are born as high elves are stronger. Many of them are specialized in a certain type of soldier. In addition, their battle attributes, battle treasures, and martial talents mean that the level 2 spearmen can fight back and forth against the level 3 horned demons, and even gain the upper hand."
"More importantly, we are not always attacking the Black Castle itself. There are many villages outside the Black Castle that have been occupied by demons. They are trying to transform them into an environment suitable for the survival of demons. We have been mainly attacking these places recently."
"These small villages don't have any defense facilities at all. Thousands of troops surrounded them and quickly killed all the demons inside. The natives were also very cunning. They didn't even occupy them, but directly withdrew with us."
"The next day we went there again and saw that the place was occupied by demons again. We could attack again and continue to consume the demons' manpower. Those demons were fools that we played with."
"Although the experience points and spoils we can actually get are extremely limited due to the fierce firepower of the natives, I believe that as long as we repeat this for ten days or half a month, our experience points and military merit points will increase rapidly, and it will not be a dream for everyone to be promoted to lieutenant."
Many other guild members also smiled and nodded, and it was obvious that they had all gained a lot from it.
Levi finally understood, but then he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. You probably don't know yet, but today several mercenary groups from the Dogs of War entered the city. One of them is called the 'Sprinter Artillery Team.' Guess what their main combat method is?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around was dumbfounded. If they were just attacking the small village, there would be no need for any artillery. Since these guys are here, they must be attacking the Black Castle!
Suddenly, more than one person looked up to the sky and sighed, realizing that the beautiful dream they had just had might have been shattered.
"Also, don't forget that in addition to numbers, demons also have sacrificial rituals. Do you think that if you kill them all, it will be completely over?"
For the demons with their backs against the abyss rift and the bottomless abyss, the deaths and injuries of low-level cannon fodder are not important at all. Levi has not forgotten the six-armed snake demons like sword masters and the wild boar-headed soul demons that were two stories tall that appeared that night.
Even though he had just managed to kill a sleepy level 6 Death-Eyed Tyrant, he still didn't have the confidence to face them. It's not that he couldn't win the battle, but the main reason was that he would definitely not be able to bear the losses.
Although the high elves would certainly be prepared after experiencing the large-scale sacrifice ceremony in the Temple of Lilith, he did not think that their methods would have much effect in the Black Castle, which was the focus of the demons' operations.
The Lightforged couldn't help but sigh even more upon hearing this: "Okay, Levi, you win, what should we do now?"
Levi smiled slightly: "Of course we have to actively participate in it. If we can win the battle and retake Black Castle, then we will have experience points, military merit points, equipment and skills, and even new subordinates."
"And if we can successfully resolve the battle here, we can go and fight the greenskins as soon as possible. Your battle over there doesn't look very optimistic, does it?"
"That's true. Although there are dozens of guilds of all sizes in Ashridge Town, most of them are not very strong. The largest ones have only 20 to 30 members, and the smallest ones may have only two or three people. They are just playing around, and all of them are restrained by the demons."
"Although the total number of Greenskin God's Chosen heroes is less, there are still about 200 of them. The most important thing is that they all belong to the same guild - Boiling Blood of Beasts. This makes them extremely united. If we have a conflict with them, we must make a quick decision, otherwise we will be easily besieged by their endless reinforcements."
"So our goal is to end the battle of Black Castle as much as possible, and then bring other chosen heroes into the battle with the greenskins. We will then take the opportunity to retake those fallen villages."
"Besides this, I have one or two small tasks that I can share with you."
Having said this, Levi shared with everyone the task of searching for the undead that Michaela had assigned to him. Although this task was indeed somewhat difficult before the mages developed special detection props, its rewards were still very generous.
As for the second task, it is of course about the revenge of Lisadilan. Since I have promised him, I must complete it as soon as possible and find out who killed that unlucky guy.
The Lightforger nodded vigorously: "Okay, since we can't change it, let's do it beautifully and take advantage of the opportunity to gain the greatest benefits!"
