Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 234: Flame Sun Knight
A few minutes later, Levi and others left quickly. Looking at his receding back, several girls under Cai Jin seemed to be tempted, but they did not take any action in the end. They just looked at Cai Jin.
Cai Jin did not take any action, but instead asked his Red Flame Warhawks and Harpies to continue their investigation.
Although both parties have confirmed their intention to cooperate and are sincere because of their common interests, she still wants to find out the other party's background, right?
Then, within half a minute, she couldn't help but look surprised, because through some special ability, she used the eyes of a certain Red Flame War Eagle to see clearly the troops that had been hiding behind a certain woods.
It’s okay for the ordinary Arion cavalry and silver-helmet knights, although there are quite a few of them, it’s understandable.
But who else could those guys wearing blue scaly armor and holding large shields with dragon patterns on them be if not the fifth-level Dragon Prince Cavalry?
In the previous battle, the native named Reiner led them to attack many times, causing considerable trouble to their side.
Because the opponent is not only fast, powerful in attack, and high in defense, it makes it difficult for all of our cavalry to confront them head-on. What's even more outrageous is that these guys' magic defense is also extremely high.
If their numbers were not so rare, they would have caused even more trouble.
But now there is such a person in Levi's team. No matter whether he was recruited by him or temporarily loaned to him by Reiner, it can fully demonstrate his strength.
As a partner, naturally the stronger he is, the more help he can provide to me.
In comparison, the loyalty of his little sisters is enough, but their brains are not enough. The experience points they can get by killing him are not even comparable to the benefits they can get by cooperating with him.
Really, being with greenskins who only know how to fight and kill all day seems to have affected their brains a little, although they are not particularly smart to begin with.
But it's no wonder. Apart from various data, as well as gameplay features such as the refreshing of corpses and bloodstains, the game's realism is indeed very high. Whether it's the earth, the woods, the rushing rivers, or the breeze blowing in your face, they are all no different from the outside world.
More importantly, apart from those cannon fodders who were purely treated as consumables, basically any elite soldiers were almost the same as real people in many aspects. If they were heroic indigenous people, she had suspected more than once that they were all played by real people.
All these things led to her unable to help but get involved, let alone others.
Many thoughts flashed through Caijin's mind quickly, and then she snorted softly, turned around and left.
Now that I know what Levi is looking for, I should show my abilities and, under the right circumstances, send that guy under Levi's blade!
On the other side, in the galloping team, Levi and Lisadiran were both quite excited. The harvest this time was really very, very great.
Especially the latter, his excitement was beyond words, because he finally found the culprit who led him to his current situation.
Even if he killed the other party, he would not be able to restore his original identity and status, but at least he could end this hatred.
However, after a brief moment of excitement, he also remembered a crucial issue, that is, without Levi, he would never have been able to do this so quickly.
Even if Reiner had always wanted to help him, it would have been difficult to do so. After all, the indigenous people and the chosen heroes were different in many ways.
Coupled with the friendship they had fought side by side for many days, as well as what he had seen and heard, he finally made up his mind.
Even powerful heroes like Donna and Elegy are willing to follow in Levi's footsteps. In comparison, how much can I be proud of?
He looked back at the Avalons whom he regarded as sisters. Due to the tacit understanding formed over a long period of time, he didn't even need to say anything. Several Avalons nodded, obviously understanding what he meant.
After taking a deep breath, Lisadilan looked up at Levi in mid-air: "Lord Levi, from now on, I would like to formally pledge my allegiance to you. I hope you will not refuse!"
As soon as the words came out, Levi was a little surprised. He originally thought that Risa Dilan would only say this after he had actually killed the murderer.
After all, not only was he a Tier 5 elite, but those Avalons were also elites without exception.
Moreover, this mission is actually quite difficult, because the enemy is one of the vice presidents of Beast Blood Boiling. Not to mention how strong he is, or whether we can defeat him, just finding his whereabouts will definitely not be easy.
But I didn't expect that Lisa Dilan would make the decision now.
But of course he would not refuse, so he smiled and said, "Welcome to join, Lisa Dilan. I will never let you regret making this choice. If possible, I will also try to get you back in the military."
Even if he became his subordinate, as long as he was willing to use his military merit points, he could actually allow Risadilan to become a lieutenant again, or even a higher military position.
Before he finished speaking, a system prompt popped up, saying that several elves including Lisadilan had officially joined his team.
The few Avalons did not strike him as particularly rare. They were basically just enhanced versions of ordinary Avalons. The rare thing was Risadilan himself.
His profession is called Noble Ranger Knight. Besides having better attributes than ordinary Avalon and his charm is not low either, he also has the Bow of Avalon, Noble Ranger Armor, Enchanted Boots, Enchanted Sword and Shield, as well as the Ghost Lance and Free Pendant that Levi once gave him and many other equipment with very good attributes. He can be said to be armed to the teeth.
Now all he lacked was a suitable helmet, because he thought it might block his vision while riding and shooting, so he had not found a decent one before.
In addition to many skills such as riding, archery expertise, mobile shooting, mounted shooting, and the Moonfire used to imitate the magic arrows of Avalon, he has two other special features.
First of all, although his military position had been completely demoted, his title was not affected, and he is still a lord of the Kingdom of Avalon.
Next comes his profession. When you encounter female soldiers in the wild or in taverns, his presence can slightly increase the opponent's initial friendliness.
According to Levi's understanding, it should be due to his pretty face.
In general, Levi was very happy with the joining of Lisadilan and others, because if he had the spirit of heroes in the future, he would have more choices. Lisadilan and the Avalons who had been through life and death together with him were both capable and potential.
After finishing this matter, they continued to rush towards the battlefield. When they were still several miles away, the inspectors reported to Levi that in a woodland ahead, the Lightforged and the Greenskins had already engaged in a fight, and the Lightforged were on the passive defensive side.
This made Levi feel a little strange. This shouldn't be the case. Judging from the battle situation, the number of the enemy's troops was smaller than theirs. Could it be that the enemy's average combat power was higher?
But after getting closer, Levi discovered that this might not be the case. In addition to wanting to shrink the defense area and thus reduce their own casualties, the bigger reason was that the Lightforged chose an extremely special battlefield.
In Levi's opinion, the position where those greenskins were located was a slightly concave valley bottom with a slight slope, which was the most suitable terrain for them to launch a charge at them from behind.
After receiving the intelligence that reinforcements were coming, the Lightforged One chose a method that would save the most energy and manpower. It seemed that after finishing the current battle, he wanted to continue marching northward.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the Blood Boiling Beasts had sent more reinforcements, and their encounter with the greenskins here was not a pure accident.
But no matter what, it would be a pity to miss such a godsend opportunity!
After carefully confirming the terrain, Levi immediately and decisively gave the order to attack, and then he flew high into the sky, ready to cast offensive magic.
With the rumbling sound of horse hooves, hundreds of cavalrymen charged fiercely from the rear of the greenskin position, while Xiaotian led the Yakongs to attack the enemy's ranged units directly.
Although the greenskins realized it at the last moment, it was too late. Like a hot knife cutting oil, two huge gaps were plowed out in their positions.
The Lightforged immediately gave the order without hesitation, and ordered the troops to launch a full-scale counterattack. Levi also immediately cooperated with the ice storm.
So in less than half a quarter of an hour, the greenskin army was completely wiped out. None of the three greenskin chosen heroes escaped, and they were all killed by the cavalry.
Although the system's battle evaluation was not particularly high because his side had an absolute advantage in strength, Levi was not surprised. After all, this was a crushing victory.
And this time was not without gain. In addition to the advancement of several knights, with the previous accumulation and the recent series of battles, Simon was finally promoted to level 5 and became the Flame Sun Knight he had always dreamed of.
Of course, Levi ordered him to advance as soon as possible, and then he found that the other party had obtained a very cool black and gold armor, which was depicted with a burning sun that constantly emitting beams of light.
All of his original attributes and skills have been enhanced to a certain extent, especially the Scorching Spear, which has been strengthened the most and its duration has been greatly increased.
Then he also gained two new abilities, one called Fight Against Undead. As the name suggests, when fighting against the undead, his attack power and defense power will be slightly improved.
Fire attacks are the nemesis of the undead. With this new skill, he will probably be able to defeat the undead of the same level in the future.
The second one is called outflanking and it has a special effect. It requires Simon and another ally who also has this expertise to attack the same enemy together. The attack power and critical strike rate of both sides will be improved.
But if he is alone, this skill will not work. It is said that this is related to the cooperative training that the Flame Sun Knights have received.
At the same time, he also got the opportunity to officially join the Knights of the Flaming Sun and show true loyalty to the goddess of war, Mermitia, and he would have a chance to gain additional abilities.
But the most important thing is that Levi also discovered one thing through the system description, that this goddess of war is only called Myrmedia in the southern country such as Tirell, and is believed and worshipped in a small area.
But in fact, she has another more well-known name, that is the Goddess of Strategy - Crimson Knight!
Although she only has weak divine power, she is a subordinate god of Tempus, the god of war in the pan-human pantheon. It is said that Tempus regards her as his own daughter and promoted her from a mortal to a god.
Even for Tempus, who was a powerful god, that was definitely not a price that could be easily ignored. It was easy to imagine how much he valued her and how close their relationship was.
Now this goddess of strategy has put on a vest and transformed herself into the goddess of war of the southern kingdom of Tyrell. It is obvious that she has big ambitions.
You must know that the names and titles of gods cannot be abused casually. They are related to many aspects such as their duties, divine domain, and beliefs.
Battle, strategy, and war seem to be only one word apart, but in fact they are worlds apart.
The battles of Tempus placed more emphasis on small-scale battles and individual combat effectiveness, but strategy and warfare rose to large-scale legion battles. In comparison, Levi was more optimistic about the potential of the latter.
This was mainly because as the God-chosen heroes gradually came to the fore, any ten or eight God-chosen heroes could at least produce a force of one or two thousand. Adding their enemies, the total number would be at least three or four thousand. This scale was no longer an ordinary battle.
If, as the system says, anything that happens related to one's own priesthood and divine domain may strengthen the power of the gods, then the potential of this Crimson Knight should not be underestimated.
Of course, it is only potential. In reality, because this world has many different races, there are also many pantheons within the human race. Almost every pantheon has its own god of war. They will compete for each other's faith and use various means.
For example, Khaine, the Bloody-Handed God of the High Elves, had long been forbidden to be worshipped by the High Elves because of his brutal and bloody character, and he would massacre cities at any time. However, he turned around and blessed the Dark Elves and sought another way out.
Both are evil camps, and the dark elves are seriously lacking in gods to support them, so this is a perfect match.
The other gods of war must have their own plans as well.
Therefore, even with the powerful divine Tempus as a backing, there are great doubts as to whether the Crimson Knight can achieve the greatest results.
But no matter what, Levi felt that he might have to train Simon a little in the future. Maybe he could have some relationship with the Crimson Knight or something. Didn't the other God of War Sigma look at Cindy differently because of this?
The more intense the competition is, the more opportunities there are for the God-chosen heroes to gain benefits from it. Just as he once said to the shepherd god Paine, providing timely assistance is far more worthy of attention than adding icing on the cake.
While his subordinates were cleaning up the battlefield, the Lightforger came forward with a big laugh: "Haha, Levi, I knew you would seize this opportunity!"
Seeing his rosy face, Levi knew that he must have reaped a great deal of rewards.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that they had also recaptured two nearby villages and killed four green-skin patrols, gaining a large amount of military merit points and experience points.
Moreover, there are many related tasks in Ashridge Town, Black Castle and other places, which require capturing enemy strongholds and killing a certain number of greenskins. Even after reaching the rank of lieutenant, there are also military tasks to plunder hostile forces. The combination of so many aspects will lead to their actual gains being even greater.
At the same time, the Lightforged One also said with some emotion that those green-skinned natives were really reckless. Obviously, there was a huge gap in the strength of the two sides, but every time they met, the other side would rush over like a vicious dog seeing meat, howling, which saved them a lot of worries.
The only regret is that the spoils are too little and the number of enemies is not enough. If they are divided equally among so many people, it will not be enough.
He is also a little hesitant now, not knowing whether to continue going north, because now it is the territory of the greenskins, and there are a large number of both the chosen heroes and the indigenous people. On the contrary, they are isolated and helpless.
And similar to Levi, he also discovered during the battle against the greenskins that the other side used three formations: square formation, triangular formation and circular formation. Even patrol teams of a hundred people had formations. The penetration rate was not low, so he was somewhat worried.
Levi laughed immediately: "Then withdraw the troops. I received news that the Beast Blood Boiling has organized a counterattack with about 5,000 people. If we can eat them, we can also be full at once."
The Lightforged One's eyes suddenly lit up. After several battles, he had roughly figured out the characteristics of the greenskin army. Simply put, as long as the front row was not destroyed by the opponent in one wave and as long as the ranged units had enough room to play, victory was only a matter of time.
Although the greenskins have recently obtained several formations from somewhere, the high elves are far superior to them in terms of training, equipment, magic, and priests.
Moreover, although five thousand may seem like a lot, the number is actually a bit exaggerated because the greenskin army is almost entirely made up of goblins as cannon fodder. If we combine our own army with Levi's and find a suitable place for a decisive battle, it may not be completely impossible to win!
"Should we notify Master?"
Levi shook his head slightly, indicating that he was powerless. After all, the number of monitoring Yakong was still too small, and it was almost impossible to cross such a long distance and find the other party accurately, not to mention the various enemies that might be encountered along the way.
"Don't worry about him for now. As the leader of a guild, he is not a fool. He should know when to retreat. If he is blinded by the interests, then he can't blame others."
The Lightforged One also nodded. In fact, he didn't really care about the other party. Although they were still allies, their allies were too strong, which was not always a good thing for them, because it would lead to competition and conflict in many aspects.
In fact, the best allies are one weak and one strong, one main and one auxiliary, and they cooperate with each other. Only in this way can the alliance last long-term and stably.
He only said this for Levi's sake.
Levi didn't think about it in detail, because for him, the high elves still need to face many kinds of enemies at the same time. As long as he is strong enough, no matter what mission he participates in, he will definitely be able to get what he wants.
He just exchanged some information with the Lightforged and asked some questions about the various greenskin gathering places, especially the Swineherd Town.
The Lightforged actually knew. According to him, there was a large swamp near the Swineherd Town. Not only was it smelly, but there were also many special monsters in it, especially various giant insects, fishmen, frogmen, snakemen, and so on.
It is difficult to attack from the direction of the high elves, because the swamp is extremely unfavorable for infantry and cavalry to march. Not to mention that they have to be vigilant against various enemies hidden in it. If they are discovered in advance by the enemy and attacked by the air force and long-range shooters, it will be difficult for them to even fight back.
At present, the only way he knew to enter Swineherd Town safely and smoothly was to make a big circle outside the swamp and advance from the north of Swineherd Town.
And as far as he knew, the High Elves had thought about completely conquering the Greenskins in the past, but the Greenskins' land was too barren, and there was no point in them occupying it.
Secondly, there is an annoying stronghold like Zhuguan Town. It would be difficult for them to take it down if they send too few troops, but if they send too many troops, the gains would outweigh the losses.
In addition, they had been fighting with their blood relatives and arch-enemies, the Dark Elves, across the sea, so over time, this matter was gradually shelved. Every time, the High Elves would just kill all the greenskins who tried to invade, and then drive them away for dozens of miles, and that was almost the end of the matter.
Only then did Levi understand why Cai Jin said that before. It turned out that the greenskins' territory was probably even less than chicken ribs to the high elves.
However, crocodiles can survive in swamps. If I can find a way to convince Sobek to take action, this probably won't be an obstacle, right?
No, he probably had nothing to offer that would impress Sobek.
Although he was severely ostracized in his own pantheon and even seemed to have fled to the border of the Greek pantheon, Sobek was a real god after all and was not so easily persuaded, even though there was a deep hatred between their pantheon and the greenskin pantheon.
After all, Sobek is in the lawful evil camp, and he won't do anything without benefits.
Therefore, this matter will probably have to fall on the shoulders of the two goddesses Lilith and Moonbow. Although their godhood levels are almost the same as Sobek's, and their actual combat power may be even weaker, their backers are the first and current God-Kings of the High Elves, which is much stronger than the lonely Sobek.
After thinking about it several times, Levi roughly determined the idea.
The cooldown time of Paine's bagpipe is 120 hours, which is 5 days. After killing the 5,000 soldiers of the blood boiling beast, it will probably be usable again...
The Lightforger did not discover Levi's clone for the time being, because he was in high spirits at the moment, and with another chuckle, he added some extra information with a little pride.
Somewhat similar to the high elves, the greenskins of the Red Cloud Tribe also have three gathering places of considerable size.
They are Swineherd Town, which is the closest to this place and surrounded by swamps;
Broken Bay, located by the sea, was once colonized by humans and built into a port town, but was later taken down by the Greenskins and then gradually abandoned;
And the haunted town in the far north, which is closer to ogres, skaven, dwarves, etc.
When Levi, who was originally thinking about Sobek, heard the last name, his attention was instantly drawn to it, because it was hard not to associate it with the undead!
"Haunted?"
The Lightforged nodded decisively: "Yes, it is just as you think. It is said that there is a haunted forest near the haunted town. It was originally a base camp of the undead. The greenskins built a town nearby in order to suppress them."
"Originally, the threat of the undead had been gradually eliminated, and even thousands of large trees had grown there, indicating that the power of nature had completely overwhelmed the power of the dead. However, recently large tracts of trees there began to wither, and all kinds of strange and shrill howling sounds were heard from the forest from time to time. It seems that the undead have gradually reappeared."
"This is the information that the Sun Knight got by using his money power. He originally wanted to give you a surprise, but now that it has come to this, I will not hide it from you."
Li Wei suddenly laughed: "You guys are hiding it very well."
Ever since killing the vampire hero, he hadn't found many useful clues in the following period of time. But now it seems that after failing in the territory of the high elves, the undead seemed to have made the same choice as the demons, which was to go to the greenskin territory to continue their development.
Compared to the demons who had many cards up their sleeves and were therefore still very arrogant, the undead seemed to be relatively low-key and secretive after being beaten and used by the demons. At least when she was communicating with Cai Jin just now, she did not mention this at all. Obviously, she thought they would not be a threat.
Even she, who is quite meticulous, thinks so, so those carefree greenskin natives will not take it to heart. When the time is right, those undead will surely give the greenskins a big surprise.
The Undead don't care whether their enemies are humans, elves or greenskins, as long as they are corpses, they will all be their source of soldiers.
A few days ago, the High Elves were facing internal and external troubles and were surrounded by enemies on all sides. However, after they killed the demons entrenched in the Black Castle, which became their biggest threat, everything quickly improved.
In a few days, the greenskins will probably repeat the experience of the high elves, and because of the existence of God's chosen heroes such as himself and the Lightforged, as well as indigenous people like Reiner who are determined to take revenge, they will be much more miserable this time. It's really a changing world!
The Lightforged chuckled and said, "I just found out about this as well. Even if I told you in advance, we still can't invade the greenskins or reach the Haunted Forest. This information is still useless."
Levi nodded, not taking it seriously: "Speaking of which, the Sun Knights are almost here, right?"
When he said this, the Lightforger smiled even more happily: "Yes, it should be in the next two days. If he moves quickly, he might be able to participate in the next battle. And if he doesn't leave, the natives will start to drive him away."
"In the beginning, he wanted to save energy, so he changed his job to become a dark guard and joined the evil camp. But now he has to pay several times the price for it. I hope he can pass the level and earn more military merits to turn the situation around as soon as possible."
Looking at the gloating expression of the Lightforged, Levi was speechless. He could only say that in this world where the indigenous people were highly intelligent, the choice made by the Sun Knight was not only related to himself, but would also directly affect the indigenous people's views of him.
Fortunately, the god he finally chose to believe in was Ers Haiai, the long-lost queen of the underworld. If he had chosen Cain, the forbidden god of bloody hands, then the situation would not be as simple as it is now!
