Others might be a little confused for a moment, but Donna couldn't help but let out a low cry, and Elegy couldn't help but chuckle. It was obvious that both of them were familiar with this name.
As for Levi himself, he couldn't help but grin.
Although they are all shepherds, it depends on who they are shepherding. If they are shepherding Zeus, the king of gods worshipped by the Amazons and Spartans, then their status is not low at all!
The shepherd - Pan, his real identity should be the shepherd god - Pan!
Although in this world, Zeus and other gods are all doing pretty badly due to the serious lack of believers, if you throw in weak divine powers like the Moon Bow or Lilith, they will probably be ranked in the second tier.
But since he is still a god, he must be stronger than the Star of Destruction from the Wood Elves, right?
As it turned out, this was indeed the case. The sound of the flute of the shepherd god Pan must have some kind of extremely large-scale charm or illusion power, which directly helped his side to eliminate the major threat of the Quasser demon in a clean and efficient manner.
Although these little guys are only level 1, there are tens of thousands of them, and there are many elite units among them. Whether they are simply acting as meat shields or affecting the spellcasting of shooters and mages, they can play a very significant role. But now they were almost all solved by him in one move.
Then he rode a bone dragon to join the air battle, and almost instantly changed the situation on another battlefield. Several ghost dragons and bone dragons, with hundreds of vampires, directly betrayed the demons and launched an attack on their former friendly forces.
Even those who had not yet betrayed entered a trance for a moment, and their attack power, casting speed, etc. were affected to a certain extent.
So the High Elves, whether they were the natives or the chosen heroes, all began to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
Princess Belinda of the High Elves and Star of Destruction of the Wood Elves also immediately stepped up their attacks. For a moment, the Demon Commander had no time to spare. He knew that if the battle continued like this, the Black Castle would most likely face a great crisis, but he could only try his best to save his life.
In comparison, the various mage units on the ground were the most efficient, because they didn't need to worry about the accuracy at all. They just needed to bombard the mountain of flesh piled up by the Quasser.
Levi certainly did not miss this opportunity, and he started with the most powerful and wide-ranging micrometeor that he currently possessed. Then all the chosen heroes who were on his team saw an extremely spectacular scene.
There were so many numbers, hundreds or even thousands of them, representing the damage, that they almost blinded their eyes.
Levi felt very satisfied. Although almost all demons were resistant to fire, there were not many of these Quasers. Coupled with the magic penetration of his own equipment and racial talent, the damage was still considerable.
Then the combined Holy Light Yakong also threw two Holy Light Storms, causing a large amount of damage again.
Combined with the many magic spells of other mages, more damage numbers began to emerge.
Although none of them had learned powerful magic like Meteor, there were some people who knew other large-scale magic. For a moment, the densely packed damage numbers almost amounted to visual pollution.
So everyone blocked the damage numbers in the settings. After all, based on their experience in countless battles, they could roughly determine the status of most enemies just by looking at the appearance of their armor and wounds.
In comparison, the numerous demons had a much harder time. Without harassment from the air force, the melee troops at the front of the High Elves were difficult to break through, while the ranged units and mages at the back could output continuously.
Often they overcame numerous obstacles and successfully launched a charge, but the result was like fat hitting a spear, with little apparent effect.
The demon Maris was still hesitating about what to do, but the smarter Namuth saw the opportunity quickly, and simply abandoned all the evil gods and kings and slipped away quietly.
Levi noticed the opponent's movements. Although he was temporarily unable to distract himself, Donna shouted and launched a volley of arrows at the opponent. Even Lisa Dilan, Julia and others joined in.
Facing this kind of attack, even as a heroic unit, if Names is hit by all of it, he will be seriously injured if not killed.
But at this critical moment, she just glared at Levi fiercely, and then directly used a magic scroll.
As the firelight appeared, her figure disappeared right on the spot.
Levi immediately knew that this must be some kind of special teleportation scroll. Maybe this was also the thing the demon Maris wanted to use before he died last time.
With the ability to teleport and resurrect, these demon heroes’ ability to survive is pretty good.
With such a sigh, Levi continued to bombard with magic. In fact, he still had a question: why at this time, the high elves had not used their back-up plan?
Then, within a few seconds, as if hearing his inner voice, a certain demon hero in the distance suddenly roared, and then his entire body exploded from the inside out under the influence of some powerful force, and was replaced by a strange demon with a naked upper body and a huge crescent-shaped blade in each hand.
The reason why he is peculiar is that although his body is considered strong, he is a little thinner than ordinary demons. However, the demon horns on his forehead and the bat wings behind him are surprisingly powerful.
At the same time, green flames were emanating from his entire body, even from his eyes. He even had the long pointed ears unique to elves, and the many runes on his upper body were all elven characters.
He looks like a combination of an elf and a devil!
Thinking of the sealed object of the legendary fire demon, Levi suddenly had an extremely bold guess. Could it be what he thought?
After casually swinging his sword a few times and easily killing several of the nearest six-armed snake demons, the newly appeared demon flapped the huge bat wings behind him, and then almost instantly appeared thousands of meters in the sky.
And almost everyone could see that he didn't use any magic, he just relied on his own strength and agility!
As he swung his moon blade continuously, several meters long, crescent-shaped green energy blades flew out of his body and headed straight for the Eye Demon-shaped flying castle in the sky.
Although their volumes were many times smaller than those flying castles, as soon as the two sides touched, an unprecedented explosion occurred, which even stunned the troops of both sides fighting below.
The battlefield came to a brief standstill, and everyone couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from.
Then they were stunned to find that, like punctured balloons, all the Eye Demon Castles began to spin and plummet to the ground, with billowing black smoke.
Regardless of the surprise and shock in his heart, Levi quickly shouted: "Everyone prepare to resist the impact!"
Such huge flying castles must weigh thousands or even tens of thousands of tons. How much damage can they cause when they fall from a height of thousands of meters?
He even had some doubts. After they all landed, would there be any survivors on either side of the entire ground battlefield?
Although this guy covered in green flames is extremely powerful, and his direct combat power may even be better than that of the shepherd god Paine, he is a little too reckless...
But a few seconds later, a giant water-blue trident that was several hundred meters long appeared out of thin air. It shook slightly, and several waves were generated. With just a slight roll, it swallowed up all the flying castles in an instant.
Then the remaining waves did not disappear completely, but fell from the sky, wandered around the interior of the Black Castle, and then instantly broke through the three gates of the Black Castle, forcibly cooling down all the magma that served as the moat, turning it into steaming black rock.
After doing all this, the waves disappeared without a trace along with the trident in the sky, without even leaving any moisture on the ground in front of the Black Castle, demonstrating the user's excellent control over the power.
It was not until this time that everyone finally understood that the appearance of the shepherd god Paine was just the beginning.
Not to mention the demon covered in green flames, the owner of the trident behind is almost certainly a true god !
The next moment, the desperate roar of the demon leader Selron seemed to confirm everyone's speculation.
"Deep Sea Sashela? You despicable high elves actually let the gods do it for you?"
Deep Sea Sashela, the patron saint of sea elves among the elven gods, is also known as the Dolphin Prince or the King of the Seabed. Most importantly, he is a god of medium power with a divinity level of 11.
In terms of combat power alone, he is firmly in the top ten among the current high elf gods.
So in addition to despair, Selron felt more incredible and even a little aggrieved at this moment.
Although they have stockpiled hundreds of thousands of troops in the Black Castle, most of them are low-level cannon fodder such as Quasers or Horned Demons, and are prepared to be used in the sacrificial ceremony.
Moreover, due to the limitations of the abyss rift, the number of high-level reinforcements they can obtain is actually constantly decreasing. Many powerful demons simply cannot cross over. In addition to the consumption of many previous battles, there are actually not many high-level demons of level 5 and level 6 in the Black Castle.
Although these low-level troops are numerous, is it necessary for the gods to take action personally?
Although the other party still had some dignity and did not attack any demons directly, even so, the city defense facilities that he had spent a lot of resources and had worked so hard to renovate have now been completely destroyed!
Princess Belinda was about to reply when she heard the shepherd god Pann shouting, "How dare you disrespect the gods?"
As he spoke, he stroked the bagpipe, creating dozens of huge physical notes, which he blasted directly at the opponent.
Although Selron tried his best to drive the corpse dragon to dodge, it was still hit several times in succession. The whole corpse dragon was almost blown into two pieces. Although it was now an undead creature, it had almost lost all its fighting ability.
But after hearing this, Princess Belinda's mood suddenly became delicate. The other party was a devil. How could he be respectful to the gods?
And she didn't know if it was her illusion, but why did she feel that Paine's fighting ability didn't seem to be worthy of the power of a true god?
While commanding the dragons to attack in different directions and using the controlled bone dragons as vanguards to attack the remaining enemies together, Princess Belinda couldn't help but think secretly.
Is he just a demigod and not a true god?
Well, it may be even lower. After all, according to the combat capability he has shown so far, at least his offensive capability is quite weak.
However, this is not completely impossible. She knew the name of the shepherd god Pan, and she also knew that the pantheon he came from did not seem to have many believers in the main world. Moreover, he was basically at the bottom of his own pantheon, so it was understandable that he was weaker.
But at this special moment, the other party suddenly extends a helping hand. What is he thinking?
But no matter what, his assistance is extremely beneficial to our side.
The shepherd god Paine was about to make another attack, but he saw a flash of green light, and a powerful warrior holding a moon blade, half elf and half demon, swooped down from the air.
There was a flash of knife light and raging green flames, accompanied by a series of crisp "click" sounds, and dozens of layers of magic protection and enhancement status on the demon leader Selron were all shattered on the spot.
Then, the multiple life-saving rings, bracelets, magic crystals, etc. on his body all emitted dazzling light, and they were attached with many passive magics, which would be automatically triggered .
But despite this, all this still failed to save his life. The knife flashed again, and Selron, who had triggered countless life-saving magics, was still beheaded cleanly.
Then the green flames circled around, and before Selron's body turned into ashes, it had already burned it completely.
It was only then that his wailing could be heard faintly.
But obviously, no matter what kind of backup plan he had, after being burned by the green flame, even if he was lucky enough not to die, he would definitely pay a very painful price.
Then the visitor stepped on the corpse dragon's neck.
So the corpse dragon, which had already been an undead creature, now stretched out its neck like a loach that had come ashore, and let out an extremely tragic wail. Then green flames burst out from its entire body from the inside out, and it fell straight to the ground.
After doing all this, he looked directly at the shepherd god Pan.
Although the other party had a calm expression, the shepherd god Pan still felt a great deal of pressure. He immediately forced a smile and said, "Hello, I am Pan, the shepherd god of the Greek pantheon."
Although the other party's appearance was extremely special, out of his god's instinct, he knew that the other party was likely to be a god as well, and was much stronger than himself.
Fortunately, I had listened to the little guy and chosen to help him. Otherwise, if he was regarded as a group of demons and attacked by him, I really don’t know what would have happened to me. At least I had not been able to detect his existence before!
A deep and cold male voice sounded: "Dalal Firecloak, Lord of the Green Flame, this was my former name."
Then he changed the subject: "But now I have a new identity and power. You can call me the Demon Hunter - Illidan Stormrage!"
After a brief pause, he continued, "I am a member of the night elves."
The shepherd god Paine took a deep breath, because he was familiar with the name Lord of Green Flame.
It is said that he was once a god of the elven pantheon, but later he experienced a series of complicated things and was entangled in betrayal, deception, conspiracy and other things. He disappeared for a long time since then. Now even the temples and priests who believe in him cannot be found in the main world, let alone any believers.
He originally thought that the other party had already died completely, but he didn't expect that he would appear now with a completely new identity .
Demon Hunter, in order to hunt demons, will he even transform himself into a demon?
This is too extreme. Although he can gain extremely powerful combat power for a while, in the long run, if he does not develop into a god, he will probably never recover his former glory.
Because compared to gods, the upper limit of ordinary demons is too low.
There are so many layers in the Abyss, and most of the demon lords are only at the legendary level, or maybe even lower. They are the kind that will be frequently harassed or hunted by powerful celestial creatures.
Moreover, quite a few demon lords have died because of this. Over the years, the number is at least in the tens of thousands.
Only in the layer of the abyss that they control, can they become temporary demigods with a divinity of zero with the blessing of the power of the abyss.
However, the priesthood, domain, kingdom of God, etc. brought to them by the power of faith of the gods are what make gods truly far stronger than other creatures. These are things that ordinary demon lords can never possess.
Perhaps only demon lords of the level of Ocus, the culprit who caused the riot nearby, would appear to be slightly stronger, but they are also stronger in their lairs.
As for those special beings who are both gods and demon lords, such as Spider Queen Rose and others, they cannot be generalized. After all, their numbers are too small, and they can be counted on one hand in the true sense.
In comparison, it is not difficult to understand that the other party calls themselves the night elves.
There are many elven gods who possess powerful strength because of the faith of a certain elven branch race. The most obvious one is the patron saint of the sea elves who just took action - Deep Sea Seshela.
But even though he was secretly muttering in his heart, the shepherd god Pan did not show it on the surface. He was even more diligent, because even if he knew all this, it would be useless. At least the other party was still much stronger than him!
Even in the eyes of Princess Belinda, who kept looking at him from time to time even in the battle, his performance was a little too flattering...
But the shepherd god Pan himself didn't care. Their Greek pantheon was no match for the elven pantheon, and he was even more insignificant within the pantheon. So he was forced to leave the Kingdom of Olympus and come to the main world to be a bard.
On the one hand, this is to have some fun for myself, and on the other hand, it is also to try to find a new way out.
It’s just that because the time is short, the places he wants to go are often not valued by people, or are unwilling to pay enough, and those who value him basically can’t afford it.
That's why he kept wandering around, and occasionally played some pranks, tricking some greedy adventurers into fighting powerful enemies, just as a way to spice up his boring life.
But now I have found a rare opportunity.
Although the Demon Hunter sounds very extreme, and even his camp may be completely evil, the Sea Elf God has just appeared, which means that at least within the elven pantheon, his behavior is highly recognized. For him, this is enough!
The silent return of a god must have the help of other gods behind him, and he claims to be a member of the night elves. Does he also aspire to be the patron saint of the night elves?
If I can take this opportunity to get close to the other party, then I will surely have a bright future, at least much better than when I was in Olympus.
Thinking of this, he felt sad again. He had been away for so many years, but until now not even a single god cared about him!
Illidan certainly didn't know why the other party would think so much, but the attitude he showed now was extremely clear, which made him feel a little surprised but also sincerely excited.
Although I have suffered a lot of hardships, I finally see hope now. I have only just recovered, and my strength is less than one percent of my peak, but there are such people who have come forward to show goodwill. Everything is moving in a better direction!
However, it seems that I owe a small favor to someone because of this...
Thinking of this, Illidan's gaze couldn't help but turn to the position of a certain elven mage below, and then he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Because even though they were so far apart, out of some instinct, he was the first to detect the unique mark of some kind of god, and there was more than one, and not even all of them were from the elven pantheon.
It seems that my favor cannot be repaid as easily as I thought before...
Following his line of sight, the shepherd god Pan also saw Levi below. He couldn't help but think of something. Could it be that even the Lord of Green Flame, no, Illidan Stormrage, was interested in that little guy?
If that's the case, maybe I should show off a little bit. It just so happens that I can give the other party the place I used for the prank before...
Levi didn't notice these two special gazes for a moment. In fact, he didn't have the energy to do so, because with the actions of several big guys one after another, especially after the magma outside the city was extinguished, the indigenous people also launched a real counterattack.
High-level magic such as earth, fire, water, and wind flashed continuously, and other magic professions such as priests, bards, and warlocks also started to take action. Compared with mages, their skills had their own characteristics, and their power was not necessarily weaker than orthodox magic.
Some druids either cast various magics that are biased towards nature and the earth, or transform into various extraordinary beasts and rush forward to fight with their animal companions.
The magic of the warlocks varied greatly according to their bloodlines. There was even a warlock who probably had the bloodline of a dragon. He was so excited in the fight that he actually transformed into a ten-meter-long bronze dragon.
Although compared to the real dragons flying in the sky, he was like a small figure at this moment, but he was still much more powerful than ordinary soldiers.
Many warrior professions also began to show their power.
Throughout the history, except at the very beginning of the game, warriors were powerful for a while due to their high attack and high health, but they were soon crushed by many magic professions.
Many warrior-type God-chosen heroes have gradually given up on output and instead focused on saving their lives and commanding troops, because they know that they can never compare with the magic system in output.
But at this moment, several warriors holding big swords, who looked extremely powerful, started spinning like small tops, creating waves of blood and rain among the enemies, as if telling them that the warriors also had their powerful side!
In contrast, the demons had no intention of resisting, especially when a dragon corpse that was burned to only one-third of its body fell from the sky and smashed to death a large number of defenders on the city wall. Almost all the demon heroes were truly scared.
Even the Corpse Dragon, a rare Tier 7 soldier, was burned into this state. Even the commander of the Black Castle is missing. What are they still fighting for?
So even though there was no communication, suddenly, almost all the demons took out a special magic scroll and prepared to run away.
The reason why I said almost all is because there are still four or five guys who don’t have it, and I don’t know whether they have used it in previous battles or have not been granted it at all.
Among the enemies Levi faced, there was such a being. Yes, it was the demon Maris whom he had killed once today!
I don't know if this guy is stupid or just too stubborn, he didn't run away immediately. Levi naturally wouldn't be polite and directly asked Donna to send a rain of arrows to attack him.
Although he failed to kill the opponent instantly, he seriously injured the horse under her crotch and knocked her to the ground.
At the same time, cavalrymen such as Risadilan and celestial creatures such as Mastiff-headed Yakong rushed over first. Although she still tried to fight back, she was eventually besieged and killed helplessly. Finally, Julia successfully took the final blow.
However, this guy was still very arrogant before he died, and claimed that he would take revenge on Levi sooner or later. It is estimated that he is not dead yet.
I just don't know whether she will return to the Abyss or be resurrected somewhere else.
Although this group of demons have gathered a lot of power in the Black Castle, this is not all of them. At least a dozen Beholder-type flying castles are not here. They may have gone to other places to capture cities and establish branch bases. The battle with the demons has not ended so soon.
Then Master, Lightforged and others surrounded Hogg tightly. There was no way around it. Both its reputation and its huge size attracted a lot of attention.
But even in this situation, this guy still maintained a very strong fighting power. With a swing of a three-headed flail, even the golems were smashed into pieces. Only the two most powerful granite golems could stand in front of him.
However, it was difficult for them to cause effective damage to it, not only because Hogg possessed an agility that did not match his body size and could often easily dodge the heavy blows of the Granite Golems, but also because he was followed by a large group of Hellish Gnoll minions, as well as many black robes who could cast auxiliary magic for him, which greatly enhanced his survivability.
Seeing Hogg desperately trying to escape, even completely disregarding the safety of his brothers, the weakness of Master and his troops was revealed. That is, if the enemy did not want to fight them, they could neither forcibly detain the enemy nor conduct effective pursuit.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Levi arrived quickly with his troops, and attacked with rain of arrows and magic, killing many black robes first and revealing their true faces. Sure enough, they were the fly demons that he had killed several times before.
After losing the assistance of these magic units, the mages first used various means to remove the many beneficial states on Hogger, and then several melee heroes including Elegy rushed forward together and forcibly stopped it.
Although Hogg was still very ferocious at this time, he was no longer that difficult to deal with. At least his level was far lower than that of Elegy. Even if he fought against it alone, he would probably be able to hold out for a few minutes.
It was quite agile for a Granite Golem, but far too clumsy for Elegy, who was only one-third of its height.
So Elegy swung the greatsword in his left hand and stabbed with the spear in his right hand. Although he could basically only attack its legs, he did cause a lot of damage, and Levi also received envious glances from many of the chosen heroes.
Who wouldn’t want a girl who is this beautiful and this good at fighting?
Unfortunately, they could only think about it. When they saw her outstanding performance in battle, they knew that recruiting her might require not only strength but also luck.
Another hero who performed extremely well was a Foot Knight from the Lightforged. According to him, that guy was from Bretonnia, the most famous knight kingdom in the main world.
That country is somewhat similar to King Arthur in real mythology, and they really do have the Lady of the Lake. Even many high-ranking knights who are brave and skilled in fighting have received the holy water bestowed by the goddess, making them the Holy Grail Knights who are like dragons among men.
In terms of physical fitness alone, they should be the top group of all humans. It is said that the powerful Holy Grail Knights can ignore ordinary bows and crossbows, and can even take on cannons head-on.
Although this foot knight abandoned his warhorse and thus lost the knights' most powerful charging ability, he gained extremely powerful defensive capabilities. In addition, there were many priests behind him to provide treatment at any time, so he alone took on more than 30% of Hogg's attacks head-on.
This also made Levi start to think that his team was actually missing an important link, that is, a meat shield-type subordinate like him.
In comparison, the performance of other heroes is somewhat disappointing.
Master and his team concentrated their main energy and resources on the golem, and the heroes they occasionally recruited were basically used to increase the leadership limit of the troops.
As for the minions brought by the Lightforged, some of them were there for the same reason, and some of them were simply because they themselves were not strong enough, so they could only use the Hero Spirits on their subordinates and consume their potential to quickly create hero units. The heroes produced in this way were of course not very strong.
But no matter what, their numbers were there, and under the overwhelming siege, Hogg finally let out a very helpless wail, and was then knocked to death on the spot by Cindy's two psychic hammers.
And to the surprise of many people, Hogg's body did not turn into dust quickly on the spot like other demon heroes, such as Master, but still retained its broken body.
Levi couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that despite doing so much for the demons, Hogg still hasn't received any attention. It hasn't even been transformed into the purest demon!"
Hero-level demons basically have a chance to be resurrected after death, but now it seems that Hogg is dead this time!
The next second, the system's prompt seemed to have confirmed his speculation. Multiple wanted and subjugation missions were completed directly. Even without counting the spoils on Hogg's body, he could still get a very good reward from these.
The younger brothers in the guild had long been accustomed to Levi's strength, so they did not feel any strangeness or dissatisfaction at all and immediately began to look for their next target.
The mages behind Master were a little agitated, but when they thought about the powerful fighting ability that Levi had shown along the way, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction. There was nothing they could do about it. Who told them that they were not as strong as the other party?
However, Levi was not too greedy. He directly told Master that he did not want Hogg's spoils and asked him to discuss with the Lightforger how to distribute them.
He was still thinking about continuing to cooperate with the other party and making those greenskins boil with blood. There was no need to act so greedy. There would be plenty of opportunities to take advantage of them in the future.
But what he said actually aroused Master's self-esteem. Although his strength was indeed inferior to others, his demeanor was definitely not inferior!
He immediately stated that Levi was the biggest contributor to killing Hogg, and he would never ignore this. He would discuss it with the Lightforged, and even if there was no suitable equipment for Levi's subordinates, he would definitely give them corresponding rewards.
Levi certainly wouldn't refuse what the other party had said, and he also sensed the goodwill from the other party, otherwise he wouldn't have sought out the Lightforger to discuss it.
They were both vice presidents of the same guild, so no matter how he looked at it, the Lightforger would definitely be biased towards him, right? Because he knew that even if this would make him pay more, he would definitely compensate him afterwards.
But these are just trivial matters. Although they have achieved a certain victory temporarily, their real goal today is to capture the Black Castle, not to continue fighting outside the city!
Another micro-meteor shot completely wiped out all the Infernal Jackals in front of him. Levi waved his staff excitedly: "Brothers, I want to camp in the Black Castle tonight. I wonder if you can make my wish come true?"
The Lightforger and Master looked at each other, then laughed at the same time: "Of course, we will do our best!"
