Early in the morning, Levi did not rush to the wild to find trouble with the greenskins. After assigning the daily reconnaissance tasks and letting other subordinates move freely, he stayed in the house and was busy.
This is mainly because after so many days of continuous efforts, his specialty - enchanting - weapons, has finally reached a bottleneck. Once a successful breakthrough is made, there will likely be major changes. He is somewhat impatient to see the effects of the upgrade.
After a few hours, his hard work paid off and he finally succeeded in upgrading this expertise to a high level, and its effects also changed dramatically.
At the primary stage, enchantment will only convert the weapon quality to green quality and increase the attack by 1. Its decorative effect is far greater than its actual function.
After the intermediate level, the weapon will have an additional 1-3 points of attribute attack, which makes it quite usable.
When it reaches a high level, the quality of the weapon will be upgraded to blue, and when attacking, there will be a low chance of attaching a certain degree of special effects.
Fire is hot, water is contaminating, earth is heavy, wind is entangled, light is purifying, and darkness is corrosive.
The first two can reduce the enemy's fire and water resistance respectively, the earth and wind can reduce the enemy's movement speed and attack speed respectively, the light system purifies the enemy's gain state, and the dark system reduces the opponent's defense. It can be said that each has its own characteristics.
The specific probability of special effects is not fixed, but is random within a small range based on the selected materials and the state of Levi when enchanting. After trying many times, he can basically determine that the probability is approximately between 5% and 15%.
To be honest, the probability is a bit low. In actual combat, the weapons he made would probably be hard to compare with other blue-quality weapons captured by defeating the enemy. Moreover, the whole process consumes more materials, resulting in a very high actual cost.
But their biggest advantage is that they can be mass-produced and customized in large quantities.
Just think about it, if all the troops under Levi's command were equipped with weapons enchanted with water, how much of an advantage would they have when fighting against the demon army where almost all members have weaknesses to water and ice?
Of course, Levi was just thinking about it. Due to the high cost, it is completely unnecessary for low-level troops.
The price of a blue weapon is probably more expensive than recruiting one more soldier, so it will be enough to popularize it to high-level soldiers.
Using all the materials at hand, Levi first prepared several weapons for melee units such as Elegy, Zhou Miyin, Simon and Bayoru. After thinking about it, he also prepared two war hammers with different attributes for Cindy.
Although she could pass the secondary alien alliance to summon little angels to become her weapons, he suspected that they could most likely only be transformed into light-attribute weapons, and he had no way to verify it yet.
Because based on Cindy's current strength, she can sign contracts with up to six alien creatures at the same time. Now she has one each of the four little angels, namely the Holy Helmet, the Battle Armor, the Jingwu, and the Shield Crown, plus two level 5 fighters - guardian angels. She has used up all the quota.
Unless both parties agree to terminate the contract, the contract time expires, or the angels die in battle, she will not be able to use this magic again in a short period of time.
Since these angels were sent by the great god Sigma, Levi thought it would be better not to act rashly and just wait until the time was up.
However, this business can continue. Both the many temples in Ashridge Town and the Lotus of the Red Brotherhood should not be short of money.
After roughly determining what to do next , Levi took a short rest. After sorting out the materials and supplies in the space bag, he planned to go and find out about the movements of the greenskins.
Yesterday, Master and his men suffered a counterattack from the greenskin shamans, which means that in addition to being wary of the blood-boiling army, they also have to be wary of the greenskin native troops.
Then as soon as he went out, he saw Donna and Elegy leading several female hunters, walking towards him in a hurry.
As soon as she saw Levi, Donna was immediately delighted: "Levi, you came at the right time. The birds trained by the female hunters have discovered the traces of a large group of greenskins, at least six or seven thousand!"
After frequent battles, more than one female hunter has now advanced and gained the skill to tame birds as sentinels.
She, Elegy, Janet and others had nothing to do, so they helped to catch the birds. With the special abilities of rangers and druids, they completed the task very easily.
However, the little bird was unexpectedly discovered by a large number of enemies not long after it was released, and even the poor little bird was killed by the enemy.
Levi was immediately perked up: "Is it the boiling blood of the beasts? There are more troops than expected. Could it be that the greenskins of the Red Cloud Tribe have also joined the battle?"
The huntress shook her head quickly. "The intelligence of those little birds is low. They can't tell whether the enemy is the natives or the troops of the chosen heroes. In fact, we even figured out the number of the enemy's troops after the fact, not what they told us."
"Is that so? How far are they from here?"
"It's only about 10 miles away now, but the enemy's marching speed is very slow, so we should have enough time to prepare."
Having said this, Elegy waved her greatsword demonstratively. In fact, she quite liked fighting against those greenskins, because they rarely played tricks and would only engage in her favorite head-on battles!
Levi nodded. "Okay, thank you for your hard work, but it's not time to rest yet. Let's go find Lisadiran and Julia right away. We need to keep the enemy outside the village and delay the main force of the greenskins for a while."
"Donna, Master and the others are still here, right? Immediately notify them to prepare for battle!"
After experiencing yesterday's setbacks, Master and his team decided to wait and see for the time being, waiting for the other side to attack, so they did not go out immediately today, which coincided with Levi's decision.
As he spoke, Levi began to quickly cast summoning magic, asking the inspectors to continue their investigation, not only to see the greenskins, but also to look at their own rear.
Last night, Reiner had specially sent back several teams of Silver Helmet Knights as messengers to report to him on his latest progress.
After learning that the greenskins were weak, all the high elves, including the acting lord Princess Belinda, were extremely excited. Like Reiner, they couldn't wait to take revenge on the greenskins to wash away the humiliation they had suffered.
Although they are seriously short of manpower because they have to deal with the demons pouring out from other abyss rifts every day, Princess Belinda has begun trying to invite reinforcements from many temples.
If the temple is willing to send troops temporarily to help defend the city or launch an attack on the greenskins, then they will naturally be able to draw out more strength.
And by the time Reiner sent out the messenger, many temples including Moonbow, Lilith, Hoeth the God of Wisdom, Lady of the Mist, Lady of the Golden Heart, Deep Sea Sashela, and Val the God of Forging had agreed, and more temples were in the process of negotiation and communication.
If all goes well, reinforcements are expected to arrive at the front lines of the battle today.
Princess Belinda then issued a series of public missions to all the chosen heroes in the colony.
In the battle with the greenskins, anyone who recaptures a previously lost village, or captures a greenskin gathering place or village, will receive a large number of military merit points as a reward.
If one is able to independently capture a greenskin village or even a town, as long as his military rank reaches that of lieutenant and his camp is neutral or good, the colony will directly recognize his right to rule, and whoever captures it will own it!
Under such strong stimulation, almost all the God's Chosen Heroes were going crazy with joy. Even if Ashridge Town did not have enough reinforcements, other God's Chosen Heroes must be on the way.
Levi was also extremely excited. The other chosen heroes might need to cooperate to capture the greenskins' territory and divide the spoils together.
But he already has enough ability to deal with small gatherings of greenskins. If he can find an opportunity in the next battle, it is not impossible for him to add two more villages under his command!
Then Reiner revealed to him that because of his outstanding performance, Princess Belinda was very satisfied with him, and rewards would be issued soon, and his military career would definitely be promoted further.
Reiner still didn't know what Levi and his cavalry did after he left, otherwise Princess Belinda would definitely give more rewards.
Unfortunately, the Lightforged could probably not be counted on, because he had received intelligence last night that in addition to the troops led by Cai Jin, the indigenous people there also sent out thousands of troops and pressed forward from the northwest. They could protect themselves for the time being, but it was almost impossible for them to send reinforcements to their side.
Donna responded quickly: "I know, Levi, be careful, don't die!"
Levi laughed and didn't take it seriously, because he knew that the other party was definitely not cursing him out of pure will. This was just the Amazons' unique way of caring for people.
But a minute later, Levi had already ridden a griffin and rushed out of the village with hundreds of cavalrymen, heading straight to the north. Xiaotian and the Legion's Yakongs naturally followed along.
Compared to yesterday, the size of his team was larger this time, because several mages from the Temple of Arcane joined with their respective cavalry units.
Although almost all members of the Arcane Temple are composed of golems as their main force, it does not mean that they do not have any cavalry units at all. It's just that their cavalry is indeed not large and the quality is very average. It is estimated that they can only fight when the wind is favorable.
In addition, some mages on flying mounts chose to follow along, wanting to use magic together with Levi to harass the greenskin army.
By now, Levi has almost figured out Master's background. He should have mastered the method of making golems, so the troops of all members of their entire guild are mainly based on golems, with other things as supplementary.
Therefore, after obtaining military merit points, they will have more opportunities to choose to improve other aspects, such as various types of magic, equipment, and even various mounts and so on.
Those who are following Levi now are basically riding giant forest eagles or Pegasus. Their combat effectiveness may not be very good, but they are still very comfortable for mages.
Most of the mages on their backs have mastered some wind magic. Levi doesn't ask them to cause much damage to the enemy, but just wants to guard against the enemy's air forces.
As we all know, the sky turbulence in wind magic can be regarded as the nemesis of low-level flying troops, and it also has a significant impact on mid- and high-level troops.
The distance of several miles passed in a flash, and Levi soon saw the green-skinned army in the distance. It must be said that the momentum was indeed extraordinary. As far as the eye could see, it was like a green ocean.
After taking a closer look, he knew that the huntress had still underestimated the number of the enemy. Even if this large group of greenskins maintained a dense formation, the troops had spread out for several miles, and their number was probably more than eight thousand!
Moreover, the enemy's troop lineup was also very complete, with infantry, archers, cavalry, chariots, and even some extremely heavy and slow war machines at the end, which were probably catapults.
If they were allowed to come within range, wouldn't the village's crude defenses, whether it was arrow towers, walls, or chevaux de frise, be razed to the ground in an instant?
Levi was very glad that he did not be lazy and choose passive defense, but instead took the initiative to rush out and delay the opponent, otherwise this battle would have been difficult to fight.
But despite this, he has quietly backed down. Should he evacuate the village directly, wait for Reiner to arrive with reinforcements, and then retake the village himself?
But when he looked at the enemy's cavalry force of nearly a thousand people, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious. If he didn't kill them all, his own infantry and archers would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
It seems that I still have to try my best to weaken the enemy's strength, and then wait for the reinforcements that are almost certain to appear.
Thinking of this, he began to cast summoning magic quickly to further enhance his own combat effectiveness.
Almost at the same time, the greenskins obviously discovered them. With a commotion, the greenskin cavalry also moved. In addition to hundreds of earth wolf cavalry, there were also some goblins riding giant jungle spiders.
Some of them hold bows, some hold spears, and they have more or less armor on their bodies. Compared with other ordinary goblins who are only covered with rags, they look quite elite.
But what Levi cared about most were the chariots pulled by giant wolves and driven by goblins.
Although they are far inferior to the Ithramar Silver Chariots, these Goblin Wolf Chariots are also rare level 3 troops. Even in a head-on confrontation, the Arion Cavalry may not be able to defeat them.
Even with the greenskins' magic level, these goblins should not have life linking arrays, but with six or seven goblins holding spears sitting or standing on a chariot, the Arion cavalry is definitely no match for them, and at least it takes the Silver Helmet Knights to try to fight them.
This group of greenskins treated the goblins unexpectedly well.
Soon afterwards, Levi discovered that in the greenskin formation, there was an extremely giant spider that was over three meters tall and at least seven or eight meters in diameter.
On its back was something made of wood, similar to a shrine. About twenty goblins holding bows and spears were standing on it, showing off their might.
In the middle of them, sat a goblin holding a staff, wearing a tattered robe, and looking extremely dry, thin, and ugly.
It had a bunch of colorful equipment on its body, as well as a lot of bones as ornaments. Seeing this, Levi could roughly understand why this group of greenskins was dominated by goblins.
Because that particular goblin was most likely a powerful goblin shaman.
He felt that the situation was a bit troublesome. Not to mention that the greenskin shaman that Master and the others had encountered before would most likely participate in this battle, and now he didn't know where the greenskin shaman was hiding. Just by looking at the posture of this goblin shaman, he knew that this battle would not be easy.
They are both giant spiders, but ordinary giant jungle spiders are at most level 2 or 3. However, the super giant spider under the goblin shaman's butt probably hunts elephants for food frequently, because it is a level 6 war beast - the Arachnari Giant Spider!
It is said that in some remote places, goblins even worship this giant spider as a god. Whether it is being able to tame a level 6 giant spider as a mount, or raising it from childhood to adulthood, the level of this goblin shaman is definitely not low.
But despite this, Levi had no intention of giving up. Seeing the enemy cavalry moving, he did not retreat but advanced instead, leading his troops to draw an arc, as if he wanted to go around behind the enemy.
This situation seemed to be beyond the expectations of the greenskins and goblins. They had no choice but to temporarily stop their main force.
No matter how ignorant the greenskins were of military tactics, they knew that if they really allowed the enemy cavalry to get around behind them, their troops would definitely not be able to stop.
At the same time, the goblin cavalry were screaming, laughing strangely, or cursing, speeding up and chasing after Levi and the others, trying to intercept them.
Levi then smiled with satisfaction and waved to Lisadilan, Simon and others. The entire army was immediately divided into three.
Simon led the Dragon Prince and the Silver Helmet Knights to continue to circle around to attract the enemy's attention, while the mounted archers began to launch harassing shots. Whether it was the giant jungle spider or the mount wolf, they were far inferior to the warhorse in terms of pure speed or explosive power.
The mages from the Temple of Arcane, according to what they had discussed on the way, some of them accompanied the cavalry, ready to assist with magic, while the others continued to follow Levi.
As for Levi himself, he took Xiaotian and the Legion Yakongs and headed straight for the direction of the Goblin Shaman. He didn't think he could really succeed in beheading the other party directly, but he wanted to at least test the other party's strength a little.
That’s right, what we are bullying is that the opponent has no air force and the ranged units are not strong enough!
Besides, isn't he fishing as well? It's just that this time the bait has been replaced by himself.
Faced with his arrogant behavior, not only were the ordinary goblins and greenskins extremely angry, but some of them also uttered some very classic Three Character Classic, and you could tell at once that they were heroes chosen by God.
Although he didn't understand most of the words, the few words he occasionally understood made Xiaotian very angry. He began to look at Li Wei frequently, and seemed to want to rush over and kill the other party.
Several mages from the Arcane Temple also looked embarrassed. After all, when playing games, it was normal to have one or more fights due to conflicts between factions and races, but there was no need to start by cursing their ancestors, right?
The quality of these greenskin God-chosen heroes is not even as good as that of the greenskin natives. At least the natives can only say a few harsh words like "chop you to death, crush you".
But Levi didn't care at all. Not to mention that he would no longer be angered by such low-level language, if Xiaotian really led the Legion's Yakongs to rush forward, he would basically be seeking his death.
Having almost monopolized the territory of the Greenskin Red Cloud Tribe and having performed extremely well in the previous attack on the High Elves, the blood of the entire tribe was boiling from top to bottom, and all members received quite generous rewards.
Master's previous intelligence has clearly shown that almost all of them have hero-level subordinates, and they also have a team and a half of level 4 green-skinned big guys as their personal guards. This alone is enough to surpass many God-chosen heroes.
Even the level 5 black orcs, who are cherished by the green-skinned natives, have a few vice-president-level ones under their command.
As for whether there are other higher-level or rarer types of soldiers, Master is not sure, as that is beyond his ability.
All I can say is that the probability is definitely very high. After all, the Red Cloud Tribe also owns tens of thousands of square kilometers, three large towns and countless small villages and gathering places.
Even if it is divided equally among more than 200 God-chosen heroes with boiling blood, each person can still get hundreds of square kilometers, and there will be too many tasks and resources in it.
If Xiaotian really flew towards the opponent, even if he donated all the Legion Sub-Ark under his command, he might still be able to kill a few God-chosen heroes.
So he simply ignored Xiaotian's request. Of course, this did not mean that he would not fight back.
He rode the griffin in the air to draw a beautiful arc and stayed outside the maximum shooting range of the enemy's ranged units.
Then he used his expertise in spell range enhancement and threw a stinking cloud towards the location of the guy who had just cursed the most fiercely, and then added a series of fireballs.
In fact, he doesn't hold grudges most of the time, because he usually takes revenge on the spot!
The mages behind him looked at each other, but felt a little awkward, because at the current distance, their magic with the longest range could not reach the opponent at all, because they did not have the expertise to increase the range of spells!
But just watching is not a good idea. The president had specifically told them before coming out, asking them to learn from Levi and be more diligent.
They had no choice but to start casting all kinds of auxiliary magic, not only for themselves, but also for many legionary sub-kons, because if the greenskins had any hidden air force, they might need these legionary sub-kons to protect themselves next time.
These greenskins deserved their bad luck. Almost as soon as Levi fired the first series of fireballs, the area of ​​the stinking cloud technique suddenly increased. After three fireballs, the area of ​​the stinking cloud technique more than doubled, covering more than two hundred enemy soldiers.
Even the greenskins who paid no attention to hygiene could not stand the stench caused by magic. All the guys who were not up to standard in level and physique made a series of retching sounds, wishing they could vomit out their own throats.
Levi laughed immediately. The power of fire or thunder might be able to eliminate the Stink Cloud Technique, but it might also strengthen it. Looking at the current situation, it could only be said that these greenskins were too unlucky.
The greenskins and goblins around were also busy retreating, trying to distance themselves from the disgusting fog. As for those guys who had just been cursing, they all lost their voices for a moment.
It was not only because they did not want to be treated the same way after seeing the miserable plight of their companions, but also because they had no idea how to deal with this thing for a while.
Even the goblin hero in the distance widened his eyes, but he could only watch and had no idea how to crack it.
Whether it's the greenskins or the goblins, their magic is very simple and crude, and there are no such special tricks at all.
And according to its past experience of fighting with the elves with pointed ears, it seems that the opponent has never used this method?
After thinking about it, the goblin shaman took out a few rags from somewhere and stuffed them into his nose to be prepared.
Due to the distance, Levi didn't notice this, but because of the power other than the Stinking Cloud Technique, he immediately changed his mind.
He then threw several stinking clouds towards the locations where those green-skinned God-chosen heroes were.
Although he wanted to test the strength of the goblin shaman, his more important task this time was to delay the army and buy time for his side. Now he could take revenge at the same time. Isn't this the best outcome?
As a result, more greenskins and goblins began to retch. Even though they were on guard this time, many of the more alert ones even raised their shields to block in front of themselves. However, facing the stinking cloud technique that was almost pervasive, they still fell into the same situation.
Only a very small number of warrior-type God-chosen heroes with higher physique and level, as well as the big green guy, black orc, etc. can survive.
The stench was so unbearable that one guy was so exaggerated that he rolled off a war pig and kept rolling on the ground, trying to roll out of the area covered by the stinking cloud.
Levi's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this. He still remembered the other party and he was the one who cursed the most harshly just now.
So he immediately drove the griffin over, and asked Xiao Qi to prepare to use magic with him. Since he had decided to take action, he naturally had to deal with the opponent completely in one go!
The several mages from the Temple of Arcane behind him naturally chose to follow at the first opportunity.
Seeing his action, several hostile God's Chosen Heroes began to shout and curse loudly, and ordered some green-skinned archers to shoot at him.
But let's not talk about how much shooting into the sky would affect their range. Even if Levi stood still, with their poor shooting ability, they might not be able to hit a few arrows, not to mention that he was still flying at high speed?
Even if there were a few lucky arrows occasionally, the griffin could easily blow them away with just a casual flap of its wings.
The other mages were also safe and sound, because most of them were specially selected by Levi, and they were all good at wind magic, so it was no problem for them to deal with these messy arrows.
Then a few seconds later, four micrometeors fell from the sky at the same time.
Looking at those inconspicuous little fireballs the size of ping-pong balls, the green-skinned God-chosen hero who had just recovered and got up from the ground couldn't help but sneer: "Are these the only little things you high elves are proud of?"
Levi just smiled and said nothing. He hoped that all his enemies would underestimate this move.
The greenskin, who didn't get an answer, showed even more sarcasm on his face. He raised his axe and chopped directly at the micro-meteor: "Remember, I am from..."
Before he could finish his words, several micro meteors accelerated and hit him directly.
"boom!"
Flames suddenly erupted, and the arrogant greenskin at the center of the explosion was caught off guard and severely injured on the spot. His face was immediately filled with panic, and he hurriedly poured life potions into his mouth while trying to escape by rolling and crawling.
But another wave of micrometeors had already flown over, and with a few loud bangs, when the smoke and dust cleared, only two green equipment were left, as if to prove that he had been here before.
Levi couldn't help but sneer. It seemed that his temper and attitude were totally inconsistent with his strength.
With his death, the many greenskins under his command were suddenly in an uproar. They roared and charged towards Levi, even though he was high in the sky and they were standing on the ground with battle axes in their hands.
Levi naturally wouldn't be polite, and the meteor came again.
As his strength continues to improve, he can now launch up to 8 micro meteors at a time, and let them attack in 4-8 times. Each micro meteor can cause one blunt damage and one fire damage to the direct target, and cause partial fire damage to surrounding enemies.
Combined with his expertise and equipment, the total damage far exceeds that of Fireball, which is a powerful magic of the same level.
Although the magic used by Xiao Qi did not have these bonuses, the damage was also terrible. With the two working together, tons of damage were caused in just a few seconds.
In addition, the greenskins were very cooperative and gathered together under the excitement, so he was able to eliminate a large number of elite greenskins quite smoothly.
Other mages also used some small magic such as wind blades, whirlwinds, water arrows or lightning arrows to cooperate with him in launching the attack.
Seeing how powerful they were, some timid goblins either turned and ran, or simply betrayed them and gave up their allegiance to the chosen hero.
It was not until this time that the other green-skinned God-chosen heroes finally realized what had happened.
"The captain was killed by him!"
"Shit, this stuff stinks so bad, it's ten times more disgusting than canned herrings!"
"Shoot, shoot, shoot. Don't let him be so arrogant!"
Some immediately urged the troops to advance, some were busy avoiding the stinking cloud technique, and some began to curse on the spot. For a while, the scene seemed extremely chaotic.
Levi snorted lightly. He didn't expect that the other party was a team leader. No wonder he was so resistant to the beating just now. This was also an unexpected surprise.
He urged the griffin to retreat temporarily, and at the same time he quickly scanned the area, memorizing the appearance of those guys with the foulest mouths. When the next battle occurred, he would make sure to kill these guys first.
Then he looked at the goblin shaman over there, wanting to know how the other party would respond.
Then he was very surprised to find that the opponent seemed to have mastered the mantra of "When friendly forces are in trouble, remain unmoved like a mountain". Even though many gods' chosen heroes were in such a situation, it squatted on the shrine and watched with great interest.
Levi fully believed that if someone handed it some snacks like melon seeds and peanuts at this moment, it would definitely eat them with relish while watching!
Is it that this goblin shaman has such a bad character, or is it that the relationship between the indigenous people of the Red Cloud Tribe and the many members of the Boiling Blood of Beasts is not very good?
The more Levi thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Unlike the elves who were currently in complete control, the greenskins of the Red Cloud Tribe were clearly not as good as the God-chosen heroes like Boiling Blood. It was hard to say who would be the main and who would be the supporting one between the two sides.
When they have the upper hand at the beginning, it's natural that everyone is happy, but when they suffer defeats one after another, villages are captured, and gathering places are destroyed, can they still maintain their original harmonious state?
Although this is not entirely the fault of the Bloodthirsty, we must know that the Greenskins are in the Chaotic Neutral camp after all. If they were to be reasonable in everything, they would not be in the Chaotic camp.
The more Levi thought about it, the more interesting it became. If the intelligence could keep up, he could definitely make use of this aspect to do something.
It seems that I may have to make a deal with Cai Jin as soon as possible to let her further understand my abilities, so that she will be willing to provide more information.
