Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 218 Donna's Sisters and the Shepherd
Soon, with the thunderous roars of the demons, the war officially began. Tens of thousands of demons launched a fierce charge, and many indigenous people and God's chosen heroes also launched a head-on attack.
Because of the chaotic and disorderly nature of the demons, they could barely maintain a simple formation when they were near the city walls, but once they really launched a charge, they instantly filled the mountains and plains, and began to attack from all directions.
In order to resist their attacks, many indigenous people did not take any action, but they ordered the chosen heroes to fight the enemy separately. As a result, it didn't take long before the originally mighty demon army was divided into dozens of smaller battlefields in this massive war.
Until this time, it was the turn of Levi and other God-chosen heroes to take action in this siege battle.
However, the number of enemies this time was large, so Levi did not let Master and his golems bear all the pressure alone. In fact, they were unwilling and would not do that, so he took the opportunity to do a small favor and let the Lightforged and others cooperate with them to share the pressure.
As for the two female demon heroes, as Levi expected, they all chose to attack in his direction.
A large number of horned demons took the lead in launching the charge, and then the demon Maris, who was killed by him, snatched a flaming warhorse from somewhere, glared fiercely at Levi and Risadilan who was riding her previous mount, and flames condensed in her hands.
But this time Levi was prepared and didn't want to give the other party a chance to release magic.
At the command, Donna led the archers in a successful throw, instantly clearing out all the horned demons around her.
Although she was not killed instantly due to her full equipment and enhanced status, she was still frightened and ran back nearly a hundred meters without looking back. She dared not get closer again. Instead, she could only cast some enhanced magic to assist the horned demons in the battle.
Even though Levi specially sent out celestial creatures, and even asked Lisadilan to ride the flaming warhorse that originally belonged to her to provoke her, she resolutely retreated, which made him feel a little regretful. He might have used too much force.
However, he did not regret it. Even if he could really kill the opponent, he would basically only get a fragment of the hero's spirit. But if the opponent really succeeded in releasing the fireball, his own troops would definitely suffer casualties.
Then he soon realized that, perhaps because he had just been killed once, he had lost a lot of strength. In any case, the gain received by the horned demons this time seemed to be slightly weaker than before.
Although this number is very small, it does exist.
This made him wonder, could it be that the other party's quick resurrection was at the expense of his own level? However, this was indeed a good thing for them.
In comparison, another demon hero, Namis, is much smarter.
After realizing that Maris, the hero who specialized in horned demons, had the same goal as herself, she did not step forward first, but prepared to see what the situation was.
Although last time because of Levi, her mission failed at the most critical moment, and her status in the Black Castle plummeted, she directly became the most ordinary demon hero instead of the adjutant of the Black Castle.
But after observing for a long time in that battle, she had to admit that this elven wizard was indeed quite outstanding among his peers in terms of both his sensitivity to the battlefield and his mastery of magic.
So she decided to observe for a while longer, and then she saw the miserable plight of her own people, which made her secretly congratulate herself for her wisdom.
Then she let the horned demons go to their deaths, while secretly preparing to have the evil kings join forces with her to cast a spell.
Under normal circumstances, the evil kings can only summon horned demons, but if her special abilities are added, she may be able to summon more powerful high-level demons to help, just like the last time outside the Lilith Temple!
But Levi already knew the opponent's move, so how could he not be on guard?
So he started using a large number of magic scrolls for reviving skeletons as if they were free, and even gave some to Master and others, allowing them to cast spells together.
Although Master and the others didn't quite understand why Levi did this, they still chose to follow him. As a result, their efficiency increased greatly in the first place. Almost in the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with the most timid little skeletons.
Even some of Master's group had already learned this magic, and there were still some skill books left, so they gave one directly to Levi, allowing him to learn it on the spot.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of scrolls.
Moreover, the priests from the two temples, in addition to healing the melee troops, would also use the power of the silver magic circle to cast large-scale purification magic, and their efficiency was even higher than that of Levi and his team.
So almost every time a horned demon died in battle, its body would either turn into a skeleton or simply be purified.
As a result, Names on the opposite side became very uncomfortable. She didn't know how the other party found out about these things, but now her and the Evil King's skills were almost useless!
So under Levi's command, even though two demon heroes came at once, they actually did not suffer too much pressure. Everyone attacked with all their might, because the life of each demon represented experience points and military merit points.
Similarly, because the natives were extremely well prepared, it was difficult for the demon army to break through their defenses.
So as the battle went on, the Demon Commander of Black Castle began to feel that something was not right. Why hadn't they been able to quickly gain the upper hand so far?
And most of those killed were troops of God's chosen heroes? This was different from what I expected!
But he soon looked up at the battle in the sky and felt relieved. Fortunately, the battle there was going relatively well for their side.
Although the attack power of the high elves' airships is extremely strong, their flexibility is far inferior to that of their own demons and vampires. Once they are entangled and forced into close combat, they immediately become precarious. After all, each airship can only carry about a dozen elves, and they are often besieged by enemies that outnumber them several times.
The battle at the dragon's place also gradually changed, mainly because the dragons were still living beings and their dragon breath could not be spewed continuously.
However, bone dragons and ghost dragons are all transformed from undead energy. Although the power of their dragon breath is much weaker, they can be used more times.
So even though five or six bone dragons had been broken into pieces and two ghost dragons had been killed, the remaining ones gradually gained the upper hand as one grew stronger while the other grew weaker.
Although the Wood Elves' Star of Destruction was also extremely brave, the troops he led were somewhat lacking in strength in comparison, so he was almost like a fire-fighting teammate, constantly running around.
After a brief hesitation, the demon leader suddenly made up his mind to let the eye-shaped flying castle in the distance join the battle. He wanted to secure victory in one fell swoop!
Although Levi and others did not hear his order, they could all see the movements of those super-giant aerial fortresses very intuitively. They were rushing towards the front battlefield, and as they flew, large numbers of Quasers continued to pour out of them. Their number was endless and overwhelming.
Although they are all only level 1 demons, their numbers have reached such a level that no one can ignore their existence.
Apart from anything else, the blocking of the archers' vision alone is likely to cause big problems at critical moments, not to mention the interference in the mages' spellcasting once they get close to them.
And there are not only Quasers, there are also a small number of vampires and Iron Knights, which makes it impossible for anyone to completely ignore their existence.
Master and the others became a little nervous and began to summon wind elements and various monsters with flying abilities as their guards.
Levi also called back the cavalry and archery troops and many celestial creatures to prepare for defense.
He also worked together with Xiao Qi to summon many small floating cannon-like Holy Light Sub-Sky again, preparing to let them enter the combined state. In the current situation, their Holy Light Storm will definitely be able to exert very high output.
And somehow, looking at the rapidly moving flying castles, he suddenly had an epiphany. Perhaps this moment was the real turning point of this war!
But no matter what he thought, despite the obstruction of numerous magic spells and arrow rain, the Quassers fell in groups, but they still successfully approached their own essence. For a time, a considerable number of ranged troops were forced into close combat.
The natives are fine. With many bonuses such as battle attributes and battle treasures, even the ranged units have quite good defense. If they are Avalons, they can easily kill groups of Quasai demons.
But the chosen heroes were in a more miserable situation. Even Levi had to use all his strength to cast summoning magic, allowing the Mastiff Sub-Sky and wind elementals and other flying troops to intercept the enemy as much as possible.
The Tiger Envoy, Wolf Patrol Envoy and Antler Envoy began to nervously guard the priests from the two temples, because if they lost them in this situation, it would be almost impossible for them to continue the next battle.
As for Master and other wizards of the Temple of Arcane, they were more like a group of frightened quails at this time, only concerned with saving their lives. However, because most of them did not have the expertise to focus on casting spells, any slightly stronger magic could be easily interrupted by the Quasers.
And because their existence seriously interfered with their own troops, neither Levi nor the priests had the energy to deal with the corpses of the demons.
Then many demons, including the demon hero Names, began to show their power, and a large number of evil sacrificial rituals were successfully used.
Middle and high-level demons such as the Horned Demon Marshal, the Soul Judge Demon, and the Iron Cavalry Demon Pathfinder appeared one after another. Even the powerful indigenous people began to suffer casualties. Although all of them fought back desperately, their numbers were too small compared to the almost endless demons.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant.
After seeing this scene, the Demon Leader, who had been slightly worried, finally relaxed his brows. He laughed heartily and used his last hidden means.
Then, a few seconds later, a rotten corpse dragon, accompanied by two huge demons five or six meters tall holding giant sickles, emerged from the magic circle.
With the flicker of fire, the demon leader appeared directly on the back of the corpse dragon. Then, without any hesitation, they rushed towards the acting lord who was struggling with the bone dragons in mid-air. Their purpose was very clear, and they were obviously going to use a decapitation tactic!
Everyone who saw this scene, whether they were the indigenous people or the chosen heroes, couldn't help but feel a tightness in their hearts.
Because if the acting lord and the dragons were killed on the spot, other troops would no longer have particularly effective methods to fight against the bone dragons, and this battle would probably come to an end!
"Levi, what should we do?"
"Levi, do you have any backup plan?"
The Lightforger and Master looked at Levi at the same time, wanting to seek some answers.
Levi couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. At this point, he actually had no other choice. His strength was simply not enough to reverse the situation. He could only hope that the high elves still had backup means.
At least Mage Michaela is still fighting there, and at least the special existence who was personally welcomed by the acting lord has not appeared on the battlefield yet. This battle is not yet completely over.
At this moment, Donna suddenly spoke up and said in surprise: "Levi, my sister has completed her trial and can join the battle at any time!"
Levi was immediately delighted, but then he sighed: "It's a pity that it's at this time. Although there are many opportunities for fighting and killing here, it is also very dangerous."
Donna's sisters said at the beginning that they wanted to undergo the trial in order to retain some of their strength, but who knows how much that is?
If she is a level 1 rookie, I might have to assign some people to protect her!
But it's too late.
"Haha, Amazons are never afraid of danger!"
Accompanied by a very queenly laugh, a female warrior with a red ponytail that reached down to her hips, smooth muscle lines all over her body, and who looked very agile, stepped out of the magic circle.
The beads of sweat on her forehead and the blood that was still dripping from the sword in her left hand and the spear in her right hand seemed to indicate that she had just finished another fierce battle.
Moreover, unlike most other Amazons who only wore leather armor, although she also wore leather armor, she had shiny metal armor on key parts such as the knees and elbows, and there was also a shiny headband with stars on her forehead.
But what attracted the most attention was her towering breasts. He didn't know how strong she was yet, but her figure was really strong!
Donna was not considered small to begin with, but she was two sizes bigger than that. Levi could also fully understand why, as an Amazon, she did not carry any bow and arrows, because her body size restricted her from using that kind of weapon!
So almost the moment he saw the other person, Levi had made up his mind that he would keep this girl!
After a quick glance around, she nodded to Donna first, and then the red-haired lady looked at Levi very seriously: "I am the Amazon warrior from Paradise Island - Elegy, meeting Lord Levi!"
Of course she had to be serious. Although it was due to the efforts of her sisters and herself, as well as the generosity of the goddess, she would never have been able to successfully resurrect so quickly without the heroic spirit provided by Levi!
"Okay, Elegy, no need to be polite. From now on, let's fight side by side. Your first mission now is to protect your sisters!"
As he spoke, Levi continued to cast spells, releasing many auxiliary magics to the opponent. Such a powerful and charming subordinate must be well protected!
"Of course, I will try my best!"
Feeling the power surging rapidly in his body and the layer upon layer of protection, Elegy nodded seriously again, then laughed and swung his weapon, casually hacking to death the low-level demons that pounced on him while rushing towards where Donna was.
I don’t know if it’s because she has such a great figure, but Levi feels that her fighting movements look like a graceful dance.
But we have to admit that her aggressiveness is as violent as her body. The greatsword in her left hand is a weapon that ordinary people need both hands to use, but she can wield it easily with one hand.
After quickly glancing at the other party's attribute column, Levi seemed to have come up with the answer.
Her race is of course Amazon, but her profession is unusual. Her name is Diana's maid, a special profession named after a god!
Name: Elegy
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Faction: Guardian - Paradise Island
Race: Amazon
Occupation: Diana's Handmaiden (Battle Hero - Blue - Rare)
Level: Level 4
Combat attributes: Strength 16, Agility 13, Constitution 12, Intelligence 3, Perception 4, Charisma 8.
Her attributes completely crushed most people in the team, and perhaps only Donna and Cindy were slightly better.
The former is because of the higher level, and the latter is because they have not yet become official heroes, so their attributes are temporarily inflated.
In terms of skills, in addition to many common warrior skills such as anti-infantry, anti-large, woodland adaptation, heavy attack, sweep, and slash, as well as weapon specialization skills such as two-handed greatsword, spear, longsword, and axe, she also has multiple special skills.
Dance: Some of the most outstanding Amazons can make their combat movements look like dancing, greatly increasing their dodge chance and having a chance to reduce the attack power and attack speed of male enemies who are looking at them;
Dual wielding means you can use two weapons at the same time to fight, but the attack power is reduced.
Single-handed weapon - Greatsword, can be used with one hand, and the attack power is weakened.
In addition, she also has a professional talent called All Weapon Mastery, the effect of which is that the critical hit rate is slightly increased when using all weapons. Another professional talent is actually a series of question marks for the time being because of its low level.
But despite this, she is now only level 4 and already possesses more than a dozen skills and specialties . Although she has just joined, her combat effectiveness has almost instantly reached the top. Except for Donna, Cindy and Lisa Dillan, there is no possibility for anyone else in the team to challenge her.
Even these three people can basically only try to win by flying her as a kite, and there is absolutely no way they can compete with her in close combat ability.
If I had to nitpick, it would probably be that without a shield, she lacks resistance to arrows and magic, and her magic points are also low.
But this is not a problem, because Levi will not let her fight alone. Once she joins the battle, he will naturally give her full body buffs as soon as possible.
The latter is even less of a problem. Many of the warrior's skills either consume pure physical strength or consume very little magic. It can be said that she is a latecomer and has directly become the strongest warrior in Levi's team.
And she did not let down her gorgeous attributes and skills. With just one charge, she instantly killed all the Kwasai demons in a small area.
This is entirely due to her Cleave skill.
Once she successfully kills an enemy, she can completely ignore her own limitations such as agility and stiffness, and launch a fierce attack on the next enemy within a few steps at an extremely fast speed.
And because she was wielding a giant sword and a spear at the same time, it was really easy for her to deal with the level 1 Quasser. For a moment, her weapons even produced phantoms. She was indeed worthy of being the maiden of Diana, the goddess of bravery and fearlessness!
With such an exclamation, Levi immediately shouted: "Cindy, prepare for the secondary alien alliance!"
Regardless of whether the appearance of Elegy at this time was a coincidence or the goddess' instruction, it also gave him new ideas. If he had to say where there might be hope of changing the situation, it seemed that he could only gamble on how much the great god valued Cindy!
The big loli, who had been fighting bravely and was covered in the devil's foul blood, was stunned for a moment, but she immediately shouted excitedly: "Okay, Brother Levi!"
Levi nodded, then began to take out gold coins and some light magic crystals from his space ring. These were what he purchased in Ashridge Town, specifically for Cindy's summoned creatures.
Then, turning around, he saw the undisguised envy and jealousy in the eyes of the Lightcaster, Master and others.
They were attracted not only by Elegy's fighting ability, but also by her outstanding appearance.
Although Elegy is just an aboriginal and nothing pleasant can happen between him and the God-chosen Hero, but having such a beautiful girl in front of him, just looking at her every day is already a great satisfaction!
Levi just smiled and ignored them. Really, it’s already this late and you still have time to pay attention to her. This means you haven’t reached your desperate situation yet!
A few seconds later, accompanied by a flash of holy light, a woman holding a sword and shield, with wings on her back, looking righteous and awe-inspiring appeared in everyone's sight.
Based on her obvious features, everyone could immediately confirm that she was an angel!
Moreover, unlike the Holy Helmet Angel who had to negotiate the price with Cindy before starting to serve, this angel first swung his sword and killed several vampires and Quasers that pounced on him, and then immediately stood in front of Xindi in a guarding posture.
Her face was full of excitement: "So many demons? My god Sigmar, today is the day for us to die!"
Although her attitude was very good, Levi was a little disappointed, because from the few sword strikes she had just made, he had already seen that although the opponent was strong, she was far from being able to change the situation of the battle.
After a quick glance, it turned out that the other party was called Guardian Angel and was indeed a member of the angel clan, but his rank was only 5th level.
In normal battles, if one could summon such a powerful helper, it would obviously be something to be happy about, but now no one was too excited.
Cindy cast the spell again, and as expected, she successfully summoned the second guardian angel.
Levi couldn't help but sigh secretly. Perhaps Lord Sigma really valued Cindy, otherwise he would not have specially arranged these two guardian angels to protect her.
Unfortunately, Cindy only knows the secondary alien alliance now, and this skill obviously has a limit.
At this moment, a very frivolous male voice sounded: "Haha, good, it looks like you have attracted the attention of more than one god."
Then everyone realized that dozens of meters in front of them, there was a half-goat man leaning against a large rock. His posture was very lazy, as if the battle here had nothing to do with him at all.
Not only had they not noticed each other before, the demons around them that were charging at them also seemed to be completely unaware of his existence, and they even subconsciously avoided his location!
The Lightforger and the others immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. When they saw the other party appearing like this and the horns on his head, they subconsciously thought that the other party must also be a demon in disguise!
Levi was also shocked. Michaela had confidently assured him before that Princess Belinda, the acting lord, had said that as long as they were in Ashridge Town, no matter what level of demon the other party was, it would be impossible to cause too much disturbance.
But they had not expected that the other party would actually come to the battlefield. If he had evil intentions at this critical moment, with the special abilities he had just demonstrated, no one knew how much damage he could cause!
But on the surface he remained calm: "Can't you bear it anymore? I thought you would show up earlier."
The Faun said in a playful tone, "Oh? So you seem to have known that I have been accompanying you all the way from Ashridge?"
Accompany you all the way?
Levi felt even more threatened. He didn't expect that this guy had followed him so early. In this half day, he had countless opportunities to kill him!
But he didn't do so. Instead, he simply watched the fun. It was not until the critical moment when the high elves were in crisis that he suddenly appeared. The information contained in this was a little too much...
These thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and he smiled instead: "Of course I don't have that ability, but that person in the town already knows of your existence."
Since you have decided to use the tiger's skin and pull the banner from the beginning, naturally you have to pretend to the end!
As it turned out, his move was indeed correct.
The expression of the Centaur changed a little this time. He became a little doubtful: "If it's him..."
Without waiting for his response, Levi continued, "And aren't you curious? Why did the high elves still insist on sending troops when they knew that the gap in strength between the two sides was huge? Even until now, they have no plans to withdraw their troops?"
The satyr subconsciously asked, "Why?"
In fact, he was indeed full of curiosity, otherwise, even if he had seen several people who were being watched by gods in succession, he would not have shown up so easily.
Li Wei smiled slightly: "I can't tell you that. The only thing I can tell you is that sending charcoal in the snow is always better than adding icing on the cake."
The satyr repeated the word: "Is this a common saying from Zhendan? It's rare that a high elf like you can use it so well."
Without waiting for Levi to respond, he stood up from the ground and took out a rough bagpipe that seemed to be made of reeds.
Levi immediately clenched the staff in his hand. Up to now, he still couldn't accurately judge the other party's intentions, so he could only be on guard secretly.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any ill will towards him. After casually stroking the bagpipe a few times, with a light shout, a melodious flute sound rang out, and almost instantly spread across most of the battlefield.
After the sound of the flute came, the high elves were not affected at all, but all the demons were instantly in a trance.
For a moment, no one knew how many Quasers and vampires fell straight down from mid-air, and no one knew how many demons who were casting spells were injured and vomited blood due to the backlash of magic.
But what was even more surprising was that as he continued to play the bagpipes, the remaining Quassers seemed to be obsessed and kept gathering towards the open space a few hundred meters away. Soon, they formed a meat mountain that was hundreds of meters in radius and more than ten meters thick, which was made up purely of Quassers.
Even though numerous high-level demons around them kept issuing orders, they seemed to be unable to hear them at all, which troubled their side for a while.
There was even an injured bone dragon that took the initiative to land, lowered its head slightly with a hint of respect, and waited for him to ride it.
Although its body was covered with pale bones, at least at this moment, it looked like a puppy showing kindness to its owner.
After doing all this, the Sheep Man smiled and looked at Levi for the first time: "Levi Goethe, right? I remember this name. Please remember my name too. I am the shepherd - Paine!"
