Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 224 New Heroes, New Subordinates
Just when most of Levi's men were taking a break, Lightforger, Master and others soon withdrew from the dungeon.
As soon as he saw their happy and sad faces, Levi almost knew what each of them had gained.
He immediately stepped forward to learn more information. Although Michaela said that there were some relevant records in Black Castle, when neither side in the battle was a high elf, those records would probably not be of much use.
The Lightforgers and others were also very happy to share information. After all, it was easy to imagine that Levi, who was the first to successfully pass the level, must have more information.
So after some communication, everyone gained a lot.
Although the two sides involved in the battle are not exactly the same, this copy actually still has certain rules.
Generally speaking, in simple difficulty, most battles are fought on flat ground, or the chosen heroes act as the defenders and have a certain advantage.
The normal difficulty level either requires you to attack a city, or the opponent's numbers completely outnumber yours, which increases the difficulty a lot.
No one has tried the difficult difficulty level personally yet, but since Mage Mikaela said so, they shouldn't count on it in the short term.
But soon another unlucky guy pointed out that in addition to these, this copy also has some hidden elements, that is, the intrusion of powerful enemies.
He had just encountered this situation with great misfortune. It was clearly a simple difficulty, but a demon hero appeared in it, and he was accompanied by two soul judges...
Faced with such a powerful enemy, if he had not acted decisively, he would have suffered heavy losses. Although he managed to escape with his life, he also lost an opportunity.
Everyone couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at him at once, because they all remembered another hint from the system. Due to the instability and uncertainty of space, there was a very low chance that an unexpected enemy would appear...
But they never expected that the sudden enemy would be so powerful.
But then they couldn't help but think of more things. Since, according to the system prompt, the demons from the Abyss are also eligible to enter the dungeon, do they have a chance to infiltrate the other party's dungeon?
After all, it's rude not to reciprocate!
Unfortunately, there is too little information at the moment to draw any conclusions. We can only wait and see.
But since there is a threat of demons invading, they had better be cautious.
Then they all made the same decision as Levi, which was to try to play the easier levels first, get the money first, strengthen their combat power, and then challenge higher difficulty levels after becoming stronger.
Moreover, seeing that they had solved the problem of the dungeon, they would basically go for the decisive battle with the Boiling Blood of the Beast, and they needed this money.
After dealing with the Boiling Blood of the Beast, I guess it’s time to reset the number of copies per week.
Then Master volunteered to send someone to purchase information about the dungeon from other God-chosen heroes, and to make as detailed a strategy as possible. Naturally, Levi and the Lightforged expressed their gratitude.
As they were discussing, they saw several wizards walking quickly over and using magic to set up some information in the most conspicuous location nearby.
Levi originally thought it would be related to the copy, but he didn't expect it to be related to other tasks.
1. Searching for beholder-type flying castles: After many days of continuous efforts, the high elves have destroyed most of the beholder-type flying castles, but there are still two missing. Anyone who provides accurate information will receive a large amount of military merit points as a reward;
2. Defeat the remaining demons: As the flying castles of the beholders are destroyed one after another, a large number of remaining demons are scattered and fleeing. In order to avoid the impact on many towns and villages, please do your best to defeat them. Depending on the number and level of demons defeated, you will receive different levels of military merit points. If you defeat a heroic demon, you will receive additional rewards.
3. Explore the hideout of the Undead: Various signs indicate that the Undead still have hidden forces in the Plains of Bones. Find or destroy them.
4,……
All in all, it's all about demons and undead. It seems that while recuperating, the natives are also trying their best to reduce risks and prepare for a real counterattack.
Levi naturally took over all of them, and found a quiet place for Donna and others to rest for a while, waiting for the arrival of the Mastiff-Shou Yakong.
Mastiff-headed Yakong did not break his promise, and soon he returned with dozens of legionary Yakongs who were holding two-handed swords, wearing armor, helmets covering their faces, and with a pair of metallic wings behind their backs.
They all expressed their willingness to swear allegiance to Levi in exchange for a certain amount of money, and to follow him in fighting against evil. If he needed them in the future, more legionaries would be willing to serve him.
However, because the two sides are not particularly familiar with each other yet, the Legion's sub-airmen can only send a maximum of 50 companions to fight each week.
But for Levi, this is actually a lot. He doesn't want them to be cannon fodder. Besides, you have to know that the weekly output of many God-given buildings is only a dozen or twenty.
Without any further ado, he generously handed the Hero's Spirit to the Mastiff-Chief Yakon, and also gave some gold coins to the Legion Yakons.
Anyway, he and Donna had just completed a normal difficulty copy respectively, so they were still relatively well-off.
The Mastiff Chief Yakong was naturally overjoyed. He chose to use it at the first opportunity. Then, accompanied by a flash of light, his height suddenly increased by a foot, and his muscles became more bulging. He knelt on one knee and formally swore allegiance to Levi. The Yakongs in other legions also performed the same action in silence.
Naturally, Levi looked at the attributes of him and the Legion's sub-kongs first.
Then he found that the attributes and skills of Mastiff-Shou Yakong had changed greatly, and the level was also 3/1, which saved a little time in the initial leveling.
Unfortunately, he was only a white-quality hero, and his attributes were even slightly worse than Leonidas'. This resulted in his individual combat effectiveness dropping drastically in a short period of time after he became a hero from level 5.
But fortunately, his profession turned out to be a paladin, and he has many skills.
In addition to the skills he already had: human form/dog form, low-altitude flight, threatening aura (reduced attack speed), communication with his own kind, protection from evil at level 4, and evil slash at level 5, he also learned two new signature skills of the Holy Knight: camp detection and holy healing.
The former is not very useful, but Holy Healing is a healing skill and is indispensable at all times.
In short, Levi is quite satisfied with this new heroic subordinate. Although he is of white quality now, there may be opportunities for him to become stronger in the future.
Levi was also very satisfied with the level 3 Legionnaires. All of them possessed the low-altitude flying ability that he needed very much at present, and they were an important air force. In addition, they also had one active skill, heavy attack, and two passive skills, pure faith and detection of evil.
There is no need to say much about the heavy blows, and pure faith shows that they are only willing to accept the direct command of angels, gods' messengers, the Gadins and the Yakons, and they don't mind the race of the higher-level commanders.
However, their direct commanders and the targets of their loyalty must also be lawful good or neutral good, and they will not accept commands from other camps.
The last one, detecting evil, is their innate ability. Once an evil creature steps into the area within a 9-meter radius of them, as long as the strength of both sides is not too different, they can immediately distinguish the exact camp of the other party, whether it is chaotic evil, lawful evil, or neutral evil.
How to say it, this is basically a useless skill, because for most races, you can basically infer the opponent's camp just by looking at their appearance. If the opponent is in the evil camp, Levi will not give the opponent the opportunity to approach him safely!
After first giving Mastiff Subkong a full set of equipment and a few gadgets to improve his leadership, Levi gave him the Elite Light Subkong and all the Legion Subkong. Now his flying unit had finally taken shape, and he no longer had to worry too much about the long-range units being attacked by air strikes in small-scale battles.
Soon afterwards, the Patrolling Wolf Envoy also arrived with several Pengyu Envoys, but his expression was a little awkward, because the two sides were not familiar with each other at the moment, so the Pengyu Envoy would only accept summons for the time being and would not accept permanent employment.
Levi didn't care. As long as he agreed to the summoning, the rest would be a natural thing.
After looking at the attributes of the Pengyu Envoys, he found that it was just as he expected. Apart from their high agility and decent intelligence, their other attributes were very poor. Even among ordinary tier 2 soldiers, they were basically below average.
But he didn't dislike it. Low-altitude flight, holy healing and disease removal, this is a flying nurse. There is no need for them to fight head-on. Once summoned in the future, they just need to cooperate with the air force of the Mastiff-Shou Yakong to fight.
After finishing all this, Levi took out Paine's bagpipe and prepared to enter another copy.
This time the number of people was very small. Not counting the many subordinates with names and surnames, he only brought the Avalons under Lisadilan and the new Mastiff-headed Yakong heroes.
Although there is no limit on the number of people who can play in this dungeon, just think about it and you will know that since it is something that a demigod brought out, how could the difficulty be low?
First, he added full-body buffs to many of his subordinates, and then he chose to use them. With a flash of light, everyone suddenly came to an unfamiliar area.
But to Levi's surprise, he originally thought that the opposite side would be an extremely dangerous and cruel area, but when the light dissipated, he found that the opposite side was a wetland rainforest full of vitality, and there seemed to be the sound of gurgling water, indicating that this place was very close to the river.
Donna beside her was suddenly delighted, because this was very similar to the environment on Paradise Island, but Elegy next to her suddenly exclaimed in surprise, as if she had discovered something wrong.
But before Levi could open his mouth to ask, accompanied by the sound of trees falling, a human-sized crocodile several dozen meters tall appeared in front of them.
Levi immediately ordered everyone to be on alert, but he did not launch an attack right away because he actually saw a hint of smile on the opponent's crocodile-like face.
He wasn't sure if this was an attempt to toy with his prey or a way of expressing goodwill.
But fortunately, a thunderous male voice dispelled their doubts temporarily: "Are you the little guys sent by Paine? Paine asked me to take care of you, but your strength doesn't look that good."
Hearing this, Levi felt a little relieved. Since he knew the name of the shepherd god Paine, it seemed that the other party would give him some face.
However, this honor might not be that great, because the other party called him by his first name without any additional honorifics, and obviously had no respect for Paine...
So he bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I am Levi Goethe from the High Elves. May I know your name?"
The big crocodile grinned and said, "No problem. I'm Sobek."
Then, after glancing at Donna, Elegy, Cindy and the others, the big crocodile who called himself Sobek couldn't help but laugh even more happily.
"Haha, it looks like Paine really put in some effort this time..."
Then he lowered his voice quickly and muttered a little unclearly: "The toys he chose seem to be very interesting. It's worth my coming here in person."
Levi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, not knowing what expression he should make at this moment.
Although you think you are speaking quietly, don't forget your current height and body shape. To us, your mumbling sounds louder than an ordinary person shouting at the top of his lungs!
However, if the other party was Sobek, it would be no wonder that he had such an attitude towards the shepherd god Pan.
Because he is also a god, a weak divine power belonging to Mulhorand.
Almost all the gods in their pantheon have animal heads, but almost all of their believers are humans, or at least used to be humans.
A very important faction in the game, the many tomb kings in the sea of sand are their believers.
Thanks to the protection of their divine power, those guys who have obviously turned into skeletons can actually use light magic, which is really enough to make the undead creatures such as liches, vampires and necromancers angry to death.
In Levi's view, the Mulhorandi pantheon is basically equivalent to the Egyptian pantheon in the real world.
Sobek's priesthood includes crocodiles, crocodile men, wetlands, dangers of rivers, etc. In addition to being a racial god, his priesthood is more or less related to combat.
So in Levi's opinion, the opponent's fighting ability may be stronger than Lilith and Yue Bow, so it is natural for him to look down on Paine, a poor man.
After all, according to the current intelligence, and the slight contempt that Michaela hinted at for the Shepherd God Pan in her words, Levi felt that although he was a god in name, his actual combat power should not be that good among the same level...
However, their positions in their respective pantheons are somewhat similar. The Egyptian pantheon is basically composed of good or neutral figures, and there are only two in the evil camp, namely Sobek and Set.
But Set is the younger brother of the King of Gods in the pantheon, and he is also a mid-level god with many powerful priesthoods such as evil, desert, storm, and destruction. Even if other gods are dissatisfied with him, they basically dare not show it.
Therefore, all their anger and pressure seemed to be transferred to this big crocodile in the lawful evil camp. As a result, Sobek's status and situation in the Egyptian pantheon may not be much better than Pan's in the Greek pantheon.
This also broadened Levi's horizons. It turns out that God also knows how to bully the weak and fear the strong...
However, despite knowing this information, Levi still behaved very respectfully. There was a serious conflict between the big crocodile and Levi and his group of good people. This was on someone else's territory, and they were here to take advantage, so it would be better to have a proper attitude.
But at this time Sobek seemed to have noticed his mistake, so he smiled slightly awkwardly, and then his whole body seemed to deflate, and quickly turned into a one-meter-tall, cute-looking little crocodile.
But his tone was not small at all: "In the past, I always released some monsters into this forest, and played a jungle battle royale game with those people who were deceived by Paine because of greed."
"But since it was Paine who asked you to come this time, I'll give you some convenience. Come and draw lots!"
As he spoke, he waved his right paw lightly, and a thing similar to a Russian roulette immediately appeared on the ground. Levi could see very clearly that there were at least thousands of different choices on it.
Including but not limited to equipment, skills, magic, soldiers, gold coins and experience points, etc., but more are densely packed enemies.
And I don’t know if they forgot or were deliberately malicious, many enemies only have a name and no specific class.
What about Minotaur, Bone Dragon, Terror Knight, Frost Giant, Four-armed Bat Demon, Flame Weaver, Acidic Basilisk, Horror Ghost Rider, Wax Melt Demon, Blood Medusa...
There were even many that Levi had heard of for the first time, but despite this, what he saw was already astonishing enough. Probably none of them were below level 5, and almost all of them were soldiers from the evil camp.
If you are unlucky and draw the enemy who is most powerful against you, not to mention ordinary subordinates, even Donna or Levi may be taken away by the enemy in one round of charge.
Should we say that this is worthy of the work of the shepherd god Pan? Although it seems to be a reward, the risks involved are indeed not low.
Seeing that the expressions of Levi, Donna and others were becoming more and more serious, Sobek rolled his eyes and waved his right claw. Then Levi found that the number of enemies on the turntable suddenly decreased by almost one third.
"Haha, at least you have God protecting you, so I will lower the difficulty a little bit, and I will allow you to have the chance to give up after you draw the lot. Of course, this is only this time."
Well, after Sobek said this, Levi suddenly understood that the god he was talking about was probably not Paine, at least not just Paine, but more so the big guys behind Cindy and others!
"Thank you, God!"
Sobek waved his hand nonchalantly: "Okay, stop dawdling and get started."
Now that things have come to this, Levi no longer hesitates. He directly lets those with weaker strength such as Bayoru, Simon, Zhou Miyin and Avalon draw lots first. If they encounter strong enemies, they will directly announce their giving up. If they get something else by chance, they will make a big profit.
They all knew the seriousness of the matter. To be fair, their strength was considered quite good among those of the same level, but these enemies were too powerful.
Unless the enemy moves very slowly and has no means of long-range attack, then Avalon still has some chance. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to win. Doing this now is the best option.
So they all took the initiative to step forward, and then soon one after another announced their giving up. There was nothing they could do, they were just unlucky and the enemy was incredibly strong.
Until the end, two lucky ones were finally born.
Janet drew a hat of knowledge.
Hat of Knowledge (Green - Excellent): Magic limit +20, restore 1 magic point per minute.
She changed her big mushroom hat with great satisfaction. Now that she has switched to magic, she naturally needs equipment that can restore magic points.
Then an Avalon drew a chance to advance, so Levi had another level 5 subordinate under his command.
After doing all this, there are only four heroes left: Levi, Donna, Elegy, and Mastiff-headed Yakong, as well as Cindy and Lisa Dilan.
Just when they were about to discuss the order of priority, Sobek seemed a little impatient.
He wanted to see fighting and blood, not to watch the drawing of lots. If everyone chose to give up after encountering a strong enemy, wouldn't he have made a wasted trip ?
That won't do. I usually get humiliated in God's kingdom, so I rely on this little game invented by Paine over the past decade to relieve stress!
So he waved his right claw and randomly picked out three cards from the big turntable: "Hey, little guy, how about a different way of playing? Do you dare to challenge an enemy by yourself?"
Levi turned around and saw that Sobek actually revealed his cards directly.
Now he has cards in his hand representing the Beast Ghost Terror Knight, Medusa and the Sphinx. It seems that he wants Levi and the others to choose one from them.
The Terror Knight is a 5th-tier soldier of the Undead. Its biggest feature is that after hitting the target, it has a chance to curse the opponent, reducing the opponent's attack, and has a chance to cause double damage.
Especially the latter, as their name suggests, are extremely powerful.
If there is a double attack during the charge, it won't be a problem to kill a tier 4 soldier instantly.
Now there is another evil beast ghost terror knight who is completely unfamiliar to him, but he is definitely not someone to be trifled with just by hearing the name, and his strength must be even stronger.
The second Medusa is no pushover either. In fact, in this game, any soldier related to snakes is mostly difficult to deal with, because their attacks are often poisonous. If they are snakes and related to women, it will be even more deadly.
Medusa, the six-armed snake demon, and even the Amazon giant snake priest on their Paradise Island that Donna mentioned before, are all very powerful.
In addition to being able to poison and shoot arrows, Medusa may also have the ability to use petrify rays.
You have to know that normal petrification is a 6th-level magic, which is a powerful magic with instant death effect, which is a bit fatal.
Moreover, the petrification ray is Medusa's innate ability, and the speed of its casting is far superior to ordinary 6th-level magic. Although there are obvious differences in the range, success rate, speed and many other aspects of their petrification rays depending on Medusa's different talents and strengths, Levi does not want to gamble his life on luck unless it is necessary.
As a hero chosen by God, his death would have a huge impact on his subordinates.
As for the last Sphinx, he didn't know much. He only knew that it was a sphinx who loved to tell people brain teasers.
If the other party can answer correctly, it may continue to play, or give you a reward and let you go.
If the other party answers incorrectly, it will slap you to death.
"Uh, Lord Sobek, we are still very weak. Can you tell us a little about their strength?"
Sobek's eyes widened immediately: "Then do you want me to exempt you from fighting and give you the reward directly?"
Looking at the cute little crocodile, Levi wanted to say yes, but he knew that beneath the seemingly cute appearance, there must be a powerful force that he could not match or even imagine.
After all, the other party is in the evil camp and it is impossible for him to do anything to help others. We must not provoke him again.
So Levi could only grin and say, "Okay, let's choose from these three."
Instead of playing the big roulette wheel, it is better to choose from these three, although each of them looks very difficult to deal with...
It seems that we can only use Tian Ji's horse racing tactics to test their true strength.
Thinking of this, Levi's gaze fell on the mastiff-headed Yakong.
"Among these three enemies, is there anyone you want to challenge?"
