"You have unlocked the authority - primary arms commander. Please consult the relevant personnel for the conditions for obtaining it."
"Thanks, Michaela, I didn't expect you to come in person."
After reading this series of information, Levi was truly surprised. His leadership ability had been greatly improved, and he didn't have to worry about this issue in the short term.
Mikaela smiled and said, "We in Asur will never let down our compatriots who are brave enough to fight. Besides, the two beings asked me to bring you a gift each."
As he said this, Mikaela reached out and handed over a very simple bagpipe. Levi originally thought that it would be a rare piece of equipment specially used by bards, but after getting it, he found that it should actually be considered a "key".
Paine's Bagpipe (special item): After use, it can trigger a portal leading to a hidden snow area to challenge a special copy. The cooldown time is 120 hours.
Note: Due to the rules set by Paine, there is no limit on the number of people who can enter the portal, but this instance is a special single-player instance, and only one person is allowed to enter each time (mages/warlocks, etc. can bring magical pets, and druids/rangers, etc. can bring animal companions).
Even if you fail the challenge, you will not die, but 50% of your current level of experience will be deducted.
If your experience points are not enough to deduct, your level/rank will not be reduced, but you still need to pay all the experience points before you can continue to upgrade.
After reading the attribute introduction, Levi was still a little confused. Not dying in battle was indeed a good thing, but he could only enter the challenge alone every time. The threshold was a bit too high.
This shouldn't be particularly difficult for Donna and himself. After all, those two big cats alone are already very powerful fighters, and there are no restrictions on summoning magic.
For Cindy's little guy who is almost a hexagonal warrior, there shouldn't be any problem. But if it's Zhou Miyin, Janet or Simon, or even other priests or archers, it might be more difficult. After all, their strengths and weaknesses are often equally prominent.
However, to know the details, you still need to go and see it in person. Maybe the difficulty of this copy is particularly low?
With this information flashing through his mind, Levi nodded to Michaela and said, "Thank you very much. Please convey my gratitude to the Shepherd God for me."
Mikaela smiled slightly: "I will. Besides, Lord Illidan Stormrage from the night elves said that if you can hunt down a powerful enough demon and possess the spirit of a hero, he is willing to make a special job transfer for you or one of your subordinates."
As she said this, she handed over a small and exquisite crescent-shaped scimitar, only a few inches in size. In the middle , there was a hideous demon head.
Combined with the previous information, this so-called special job change is actually already obvious.
The only thing that surprised Levi was that the other party was actually from the night elves.
Isn't it said that this subspecies is very weak and doesn't even have its own patron saint? How come such a powerful boss suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
Illidan's Relic (special item): If you kill a powerful demon, you can try to seal all its life and soul essence into this relic. With the help of a hero's spirit and the power of Illidan Stormrage himself, you can transfer yourself or one of your subordinates to become a demon hunter (the other party must be an elf).
Note: The more powerful the demon you kill, the stronger the Demon Hunter will be after your job change, and you may gain special powers as a result.
Demon Hunter, in order to hunt demons, will he even transform himself into a demon?
Although he had not discussed this with the shepherd god Paine, at this moment, Levi could not help but reach a consensus with him.
But when he thought about it again, Levi felt that everything made sense.
They fought hard at Lilith's temple that day to protect the sealed object of the Fire Demon and prevent it from being taken away by the devil.
Finally, the thing fell into the hands of the night elves, and it created a powerful warrior of at least legendary level. Then he immediately extended a helping hand to the high elves, which in turn led to the great victory of Black Castle last night.
From this point of view, the whole thing is closely linked, and the efforts I have made in it cannot be ignored.
Well, but judging by the wisdom shown by the indigenous people, especially the gods, it seems unlikely that they would place all their hopes on a hero chosen by God like themselves, right?
If he had failed to resist at that time, or had simply given up before the battle and ran away on the spot, the demon side would have immediately obtained a powerful legendary fire demon hero.
The High Elves have lost their powerful reinforcement Illidan. As the situation changes, the colony may be in danger of falling before the arrival of the legendary wizard Teclis.
Although Star of Destruction is also known as a legend, from Levi's point of view, his performance in battle is far inferior to Illidan and Paine. It is not known whether he is weak and relies entirely on the semi-artifact spear, or he simply wants to slack off.
After all, as branches and subspecies of elves, there are still big differences between the wood elves, who have long been an independent race, and the night elves, who depend on the high elves for their existence.
Thinking about it this way, even if I hadn't been able to turn the tide at that time, the gods might have had other means. After all, the Elf God took the initiative to attack the Black Castle yesterday, so it was only natural for Lilith to take action to save her own temple, right?
Unfortunately, even if you already have this thing, it is still not an easy thing to truly become a powerful demon hunter.
As expected, Illidan dealt with a powerful legendary Firelord. So what kind of demon should he choose?
But there is no need to rush in the short term. After all, there are no suitable candidates among his many elven subordinates.
But no matter what, combined with the previous gains, this trip to Black Castle was really a good one.
And that’s not all. While they were talking, the half- elves were performing a blood purification ceremony in an area dozens of meters away. After they finished, their strength would surely be further improved.
After thanking him again, Levi began asking questions about his newfound authority.
Then he found out, as expected, that these things required a lot of money or military merit points before they could be exchanged , and in terms of price, they were much more expensive than when he was on the regional mission.
With Levi's current savings, he would have to spend a lot of money if he did one thing, and he would almost go bankrupt if he did two more things.
And maintaining them also requires some special resources. For example, magic towers require magic crystals and mages, etc.
So he could only give up temporarily and decided to go to the border to fight a few battles with the greenskins first, collect more spoils, and then consider their affairs. Anyway, as long as he could afford the price, he could exchange them at any time.
As for the last basic military commander, to some extent, it can be regarded as a special racial title of the high elves, or it can be understood as a battle skill.
After learning it, he will have a certain bonus to a certain type of soldiers. Before, the natives with level 2 spearmen could defeat level 3 horned demons, and this skill played a lot of role in it.
And he doesn't need to invest any skill points in it. As long as he keeps fighting with a specific type of soldiers, this skill will gradually grow and eventually become stronger.
According to his current military position and title, he can choose from many troops not exceeding level 3, such as spearmen, archers, sea guards, rangers, silver guards, Chrace war lions, etc.
Of course, if he is wealthy enough, he can choose both at the same time, but the cost will be very, very high.
As for higher-level troops, he will need to continue to improve his military rank and title before they can be unlocked.
Other races also have similar things, but they may be called differently. The High Elves call it Spearman Commander, and the Greenskins may call it Boar Boy Boss or something like that, but overall, they all belong to the same category.
After figuring out these details, Levi did not make a choice immediately, because he did a little calculation and found that if he completed all the tasks he received in Ashridge Town, he would actually be very close to being promoted to the next level of military rank.
He will most likely unlock more permissions by then, so there is no need to waste them at this critical moment. After all, even without this thing, with his current troops, even if three or five ordinary green-skinned God-chosen heroes come at a time , he can probably beat the opponent easily.
Soon he began to communicate with Mikaela about Black Castle, the night elves, and the upcoming war.
Mikaela was not at all displeased, and it was not known whether it was because Levi's performance yesterday was too outstanding, or because Illidan and Paine valued him, but it was obvious that her attitude towards him was even kinder than before.
This scene really stunned the God-chosen heroes who happened to pass by. They could hardly believe their eyes.
You should know that among the many indigenous heroes in Ashridge, except for the acting lord and the powerful Elan Dil, Michaela is the most difficult to communicate with. She even used her own privileges to promulgate a rule in Ashridge.
If you approach her without permission or stop her on the street, you will lose a lot of reputation and even military merit points.
But now she is chatting with Levi with a smile on her face. They are both heroes chosen by God, so why is there such a big gap between them?
After chatting for a few more sentences, a bright light suddenly burst out from the side, and then Levi suddenly laughed, because all his half-elf subordinates had undergone great changes.
The most noticeable thing is that their faces, which were originally of ordinary level, have now become extremely outstanding, regardless of gender, and their ears have all become long, pointed ears unique to elves. The ceremony has been successful!
Donna, who was chatting with Elegy, was also very happy. These half-elves were almost all brought up by her, and she certainly hoped to see them become stronger.
Seeing that the ceremony was completed, Michaela also took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Okay, Levi, I won't bother you for now. There are still many things waiting for us to do in the Black Castle."
Levi naturally expressed his gratitude again, and then he pretended to hesitate for a moment before asking, "I heard from other God-chosen heroes that you and Lord Dragon Prince..."
"After Princess Belinda was promoted to acting lord, I became his new full-time wizard, or you can also think of me as one of his lieutenants."
While speaking, Michaela looked calm and composed, and it was obvious that she had not known how many people had asked her this question before.
But Levi couldn't take it lightly. He now finally understood why, although he had inquired before and found out that Mikaela didn't seem to hold any official position, her status in Ashridge Town was extremely special.
She has a direct line of communication with the Dragon Prince, which is even more useful than Reiner's last name Caledo!
After Michaela left, Levi also came to the many new elves. He now had one thing to do, which was to choose a new advancement direction for them.
Levi looked around and found that some guys had dropped back to level 3, perhaps because the elven blood in their bodies was too thin. However, after completing the blood purification ceremony, their potential was improved.
Because of the change in race, they can no longer continue to be half-elf eagle-eyed archers. They can now basically transfer to the more versatile Lothern Ocean Guardians, or the Sky Eagle Archers who specialize in shooting. There are even a few guys who can transfer to the 3rd level Shadow Warriors or the 4th level Shadow Walkers.
The ten kingdoms of the High Elf have their own characteristics, and each kingdom has some unique arms of its own. According to the introduction, the blood of these guys comes from the Kingdom of Nagarythe, which is the best at ambush, assassination and mobile shooting.
Although their name is warriors, they are actually similar to the sisters of Avalon. Their main means of output is still bows and arrows, but they have certain melee capabilities.
Judging from their attributes, their melee ability should be similar to that of ordinary tier 2 spearmen without any bonuses other than martial arts. However, since they do not have shields and are not heavily armored, their actual performance may be even worse.
This certainly wasn't outstanding, but it was still pretty good as a free skill, at least if they were to encounter a surprise attack from a Quassem or something like that next time, they would definitely have some ability to protect themselves.
In addition, they have two skills, one is the characteristic skill of the Kingdom of Nagarythe, mobile shooting, and the other is stealth movement, which makes it difficult for them to be discovered by the enemy while marching, which is very consistent with the outside world's perception of this kingdom.
After a brief discussion, Levi and Donna made arrangements one by one. They both thought it would be better to specialize, as ordinary soldiers did not have the energy to take care of both melee and ranged combat at the same time.
So they gave up the Tritons and transformed most of the elves into Eagle Archers or Eagle Sharpshooters, and the last three guys were transformed into Shadow Warriors and Shadow Walkers, wearing quite concealed light leather armor and half a cloak on their backs.
However, in this case, Levi himself was fine, but Donna's leadership was a bit stretched, because after many of her subordinates were upgraded to level 4, the effect of her military technique (primary) of reducing the leadership requirements was no longer effective for them.
Even with successive upgrades and the various treasures on her body, her current leadership is just over 300. The leadership requirement for a level 4 subordinate is usually 5 points, so she can only lead about 60 people in total.
It seems that after returning to Ashridge Town, I still have to find some ways to improve my leadership, or upgrade the level of my military skills.
After confirming some details, Levi let his subordinates take a short break. He took Donna and Elegy and took the initiative to find the Amazons to ask about their next plans.
After communicating with the two elves, Reiner and Mikaela, he felt that he should continue to fight the greenskins. However, he had previously agreed with the Amazons to build a place for them to stay in Bitao Village. This caused some conflicts, so he needed to confirm it one last time.
He also felt that he should pay a little attention to the other party. Although he didn't know the losses of these Amazons for the time being, he heard from Master that the other two mercenary groups suffered a lot in yesterday's siege.
The Speedster Artillery Team posed the greatest threat to the Black Castle defenders, so they attracted great hostility and attention from the demons and suffered targeted attacks. Even though the natives were trying their best to assist in the defense, they still suffered heavy losses.
Because most members of this mercenary group spend their days studying how to shoot shells more accurately and farther, they are more like technical talents rather than professional fighters.
There were hundreds of them when they entered the city, but when the battle was over, their number was less than one-third of what it was before the war.
The Halfling cockfighting group was completely lacking in strength. No matter whether it was their toy-like little bows or those majestic-looking big roosters, they were all useless in front of the demons. However, because the high elves gave them money, they had to work hard, so they also suffered heavy losses.
However, after meeting each other, Levi discovered that although the number of Amazons had been reduced, their spirits seemed very high. They were eating big chunks of meat, drinking big gulps of wine, and looked very happy.
As for the three heroes, the anaconda, the bird and the piranha, they were praying around several small statues.
Levi took a look and found that without exception, they were all goddesses.
Leading the group was Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, holding a shield. Next was Donna, holding a sword and shield, and Diana, the goddess of bravery and fearlessness worshipped by the elegy. The last goddess holding a bow and arrow was named Artemis.
This goddess has many duties, including wilderness, wild beasts, mountains, caves, forests, shooting, fertility... But she is best known as the goddess of hunting and the moon.
All in all, these three goddesses seem to be very good at fighting, which is very consistent with the character of the Amazons. I don’t know who is the cause and who is the result between the two.
Facing Levi's arrival, Anaconda and the others behaved normally at first, but soon, when they saw Elegy, the new Amazon hero, they suddenly became more enthusiastic.
Especially when Elegy demonstrated her superb martial arts at Levi's instruction, several Amazons admired her even more.
Although they are not as strong as Donna or Wange, they still have vision. In their opinion, if it is a pure close combat, the three of them together may not be enough to defeat Wange alone.
Looking at the three Amazons who instantly turned into little fangirls, Levi couldn't help but laugh secretly. If he told them that Wange had died once and was recognized by the goddess and switched to a special profession, wouldn't they probably just cling to Wange and call her big sister?
But no matter what, Levi's move was indeed correct. After that, Anaconda and others told him almost everything they knew.
They didn't suffer many casualties in yesterday's battle, but they achieved significant results.
This was mainly because they had learned a lot of lessons from fighting alongside Levi, so they restrained their urge to rush up and fight the demons, and instead maximized their long-range advantages. Many animals were mainly used as guards rather than to kill the enemy.
This really had a great effect. Because of their special performance, the high elves gave them some extra bonuses and invited them to continue guarding the Black Castle and fighting against enemies such as demons, beastmen, and greenskins roaming the wild.
However, she has not agreed yet, because she also wants to go to Levi's village. Although they attach great importance to the reward promised by the other party, they also attach great importance to the agreement between them and Levi.
As soon as these words came out, Levi immediately knew that the purpose of his trip would be achieved, so he discussed with the other party and decided to go again after a while, as everyone was busy with their own things now.
So both parties hit it off and decided to postpone the matter for the time being, since there was no need to rush it anyway.
Then, without waiting for Levi to speak, Anaconda took the initiative to suggest that she could ask her sisters to help Levi more, and since their relationship was already so good, she would give him a 10% discount this time.
Although Levi no longer thought highly of the strength of ordinary low-level Amazons, it was difficult for him to refuse, so he recruited 20 MOA horse archers to supplement Julia's combat power.
However, without the bonus of military rank, it is unclear whether any of them can survive after fighting against the greenskins.
After parting with Amazon, Levi originally planned to go to the Speedster Mercenary Group to see if he could recruit some artillery or something.
Although the attack interval of this thing is too long, its power is beyond doubt. In some special circumstances, it can also force the enemy to take the initiative through bombardment. This may be particularly effective in dealing with the next villages occupied by the greenskins.
After all, it is well known that the greenskins have never been a race good at construction, so whether it is their arrow towers, catapults or other similar things, the quality is very poor.
In fact, if it wasn't about dealing with the green-skinned God-chosen hero, but the indigenous people, Levi felt that there might not be any need for him to force them, as the other party would take the initiative to attack.
But now it has become the Blood Boiling Guild, and even Reiner takes them so seriously. They obviously have some abilities and wisdom, and should not be taken lightly like ordinary greenskins.
Unfortunately, when he arrived, he saw the God-chosen heroes leaving happily with their artillery, and then looked at the dozens of people still surrounding them outside, and he knew that he was probably hopeless, as these guys obviously had the same plan as him.
Although the High Elves suffered considerable losses in the successive battles and therefore could not provide too many troops to the God's Chosen Heroes, they were generous in other aspects. It can be said that each of the God's Chosen Heroes who have managed to survive to the present has quite a bit of money in their pockets.
But soon after seeing several familiar faces inside, he couldn't help but smile. Although he might not be able to recruit them, it was the same if the Lightforged could recruit them.
And once he returns to Ashridge, he will have more choices.
Although the high elves look down on gunpowder weapons because of their extremely powerful magic, there is no soldier in the entire tribe who uses muskets, let alone cannons and other related war equipment, but they still have crossbows.
And based on Levi's observations yesterday, although the power of those crossbows is inferior to that of ordinary artillery, their shooting accuracy is obviously much higher, so they can still be used.
Since he had something to discuss with the Lightforged, he waited there for a while.
Then within two minutes, he found that there was a sudden commotion inside, and then many God-chosen heroes began to disperse in disappointment. The leader of this mercenary group separated the crowd and rode away with about forty or fifty cavalrymen. At this time, there were no artillery behind them.
Obviously, his remaining artillery had probably been recruited by others, so he was relieved now.
Then the Lightforger and the others quickly came out with a smile. When he saw Levi, he smiled even more happily: "Levi, you are late. We have packed up the remaining artillery and taken them away!"
Levi smiled and didn't take it seriously at all. They had long passed the stage of getting angry over little jokes.
In the current war paradise, the characteristics of the three leaders have become extremely obvious.
The Sun Knight is a man of money and has no lack of abilities. Levi is far ahead in personal strength, and the Lightforged is good at logistics and recruitment. The number of guild members here now is more than double that when he left Silent Manor, and this is all thanks to him.
After laughing, he also discussed the next plan with the Lightforged. Reiner had already told him a lot of information last night, and he rushed back early this morning to continue defending the greenskins, so it was almost time for them to get ready to set off.
The Lightforged naturally did not have much objection, but he quickly made a suggestion. According to intelligence, the next batch of reinforcements from other kingdoms should arrive today, and they could replenish their troops before going.
Levi certainly had no objection to this. Just as he was about to go back with the Lightforged and lead the troops back to Ashridge Town, suddenly a very unexpected system prompt sounded.
"Under the influence of the abyss rift and some special force, a special mirror space related to Black Castle is forming. You may experience the war that once took place in Black Castle again."
"All demons from the Abyss and the chosen heroes or natives of the main world can go there to fight and kill to gain experience points and other spoils."
"Due to the instability and uncertainty of space, even if you enter at the same time, you may be teleported to different mirror spaces. At the same time, the conditions of the Black Castle in the mirror space may be different from those in the main world, and there is a very low chance that unexpected enemies will appear."
"The dungeon - Black Castle Attack and Defense Battle has officially begun. Please go to the relevant indigenous people for consultation."
Levi and the Lightforger looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
The last time they played in the Dwarf Hills dungeon at Silent Manor, they all made a small fortune. So what kind of surprises will this Black Castle dungeon, which is obviously much larger in scale, bring them?
