Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 237: The Difficult Shaman
While thinking, Levi did not stop his hands. He used the stinking cloud technique and continuous fireballs one after another, blooming everywhere in the greenskins' position. He did not seek to kill the enemy, but only to disrupt the enemy as much as possible.
The longer they delay here, the higher the chance that their reinforcements will arrive.
At the same time, he also learned through Monitoring Yakong that Lisadilan and his men were constantly reducing the number of the enemy's cavalry and chariot units. If they could kill all the enemy's cavalry, it would be much easier for them to evacuate from the village.
Of course, what he really wanted was to take advantage of the chaos to destroy the enemy's catapults, as they posed too great a threat to the village.
Unfortunately, even though he was severely damaged by the Stinking Cloud Technique, the number of enemies was too large and he still couldn't find a suitable opportunity for a while.
So he could only continue to harass while secretly monitoring Yakong and giving orders to Simon and others, asking them to find the right time to cooperate with him.
If we can't destroy these catapults, it will be almost impossible to defend that small village with our current military strength.
The other mages also understood what he meant, and at the same time they attacked from all directions, trying their best to create chaos for the greenskin army while ensuring their own safety.
What's more, after trying it themselves, they found that this method is really effective.
The greenskins have almost no decent mages, and their long-range archers are weak. Even though the rain of arrows has almost never stopped, it only makes them look dangerous, but they are actually relatively safe.
However, they also knew that this trick could only bully the greenskins in front of them. If the opponent had some flying troops, their results might not be even one-tenth of what they are now.
If the enemies were replaced by elves or humans, they would either be directly knocked down by various magic spells or shot into targets long ago.
After another round of stinking cloud technique, Levi suddenly heard a very old sigh.
"well."
Along with a gust of breeze, his stinking cloud technique, which had always worked, was actually blown away by half!
Although it is only half the area of a Stinking Cloud Technique, there are at least seven or eight similar places on the battlefield, but this is enough to illustrate the threat posed by the enemy.
He immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from, and then he found that under the protection of many green-skinned big guys, an old green-skinned shaman with gray and disheveled hair walked out with a staff.
Almost at the same time he saw the other party, the other party cast magic again and blew away the other half of the stinking cloud spell.
Then the old shaman pointed his finger at him and said, "Blast your head!"
Levi suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his head as if it was pricked by needles. Although he did not actually suffer too much damage thanks to the many magical protections on his body, he still felt very uncomfortable.
He immediately knew that this old shaman might be the guy who made Master and his men return in disgrace yesterday.
Considering the greenskins' social system of the survival of the fittest, anyone who can live to the age of having Whitebeard is definitely a strong man in every aspect.
But this old shaman is really cautious. It is true that old people are shrewd, and the greenskins are no exception.
If it wasn't for his own Stinky Cloud Technique that happened to be thrown on his head, would he have continued to hide?
Obviously there is a way to resolve the Stinking Cloud Technique, and he also knows how to deal with it, but he has been hiding it. If he is not just here to watch the fun, then he is definitely hiding a big conspiracy...
Thinking of this, Levi did not rashly move forward towards the opponent's position. Instead, he retreated a little and once again threw a stinking cloud spell in another direction as a demonstration.
His intention was very clear. Even if the opponent could solve the Stinking Cloud Technique, as long as he could not solve himself, the Stinking Cloud Technique would never stop.
Moreover, his mentality was very stable. His main task at the moment was to delay the enemy, and his secondary goal was to kill those catapults. As for killing this old shaman or the goblin shaman over there, that was not very important.
The provocation of this magic was so strong that even the old shaman, who was very patient, couldn't help but get angry.
While he cast wind magic to blow away the stinking clouds on the battlefield, he also alternately used the "Blast Your Head!" spell, which was easy to interrupt the casting, and the missile-type "Brother Mao's Gaze", obviously wanting to have a spell duel with Levi.
Moreover, Levi soon discovered that this old shaman also possessed the expertise of increasing the range of spells, which directly led to him being unable to continue bullying him like he had bullied other greenskins before.
A nearby wizard from the Temple of Arcane seemed to want to help him, or perhaps simply wanted revenge, but he was directly blocked by the opponent's "Brother Mao's Gaze", which fired four or five missiles, seriously injuring both him and the eagle, and frightened him so much that he flew hundreds of meters away on the spot.
This even made Levi couldn't help but grin. Although it now seemed that the level 4 giant eagle had only a decent flying speed, all other attributes were quite poor. After landing on the ground, it was almost no match for ordinary level 3 infantry.
But the old shaman was able to seriously injure him with one move, so his strength must be extraordinary. It is possible that he did not use his full strength to deal with Master and the others yesterday.
After several attempts that all ended in failure, Levi thought about it and threw out a spider web technique, trying to snipe the opponent. If this trick works, and with the cooperation of others, it may not be completely impossible to behead the opponent.
Unfortunately, the old shaman was not only experienced in combat, but also very decisive. He directly summoned several flaming daggers, endured the possibility of being burned, and forcibly broke the spider web technique.
Levi had no other choice now. Seeing that many of the stinking cloud spells had dissipated because their duration had expired, he hurriedly cast the spell again.
But this time, thanks to the old shaman's magic, the impact of the stinking cloud on the greenskin army was reduced a lot. At the same time, the goblin shaman on the other side no longer watched the fun.
It began to prepare its troops and drove the giant Arachnari spider under it towards Levi's direction. It seemed that it had seen enough of the fun and this time it wanted to join forces with the old shaman to get rid of him.
The other mages couldn't help but come closer, ready to wait for Levi's orders. They all felt that Levi had done enough.
With the strength of just a few people, they were able to delay the greenskin army for so long. If this was a mission, wouldn't the reward be sky-high?
But Levi couldn't help but frown. Even though he tried so hard here, the number of the greenskin army was too large.
Simon and others have not yet entered the best position, and Lisadiran, Julia and others are still dealing with the enemy's cavalry units, which puts him in a very embarrassing situation for a while.
If they continued to hold on, their lives would be threatened. If they turned and ran, once the greenskins' trebuchets arrived, the village would be captured in the blink of an eye. If they were to be charged again, they would suffer heavy losses...
But he didn't have to worry for too long, because the inspector Yakong in the south of the village suddenly brought good news that reinforcements had arrived, and their strength was even stronger than he expected.
In addition to some heroes chosen by God, Reiner also quickly arrived with hundreds of regular troops and reinforcements from the temples of the two goddesses, Moonbow and Lilith, including some night elves.
More importantly, Mikaela also brought several air force teams with her. Once she joined, he would no longer have to worry about the goblin shaman and the greenskin old shaman.
Levi immediately asked Inspector Yakong to ask Michaela for help. At the same time, he quickly changed the battle strategy. He no longer used the stinking cloud technique to disgust the enemy, but pretended to be weak and tried to lure the old shaman out.
Compared to the goblin shaman who likes to watch the fun and make trouble, he thinks this old green-skinned shaman is more dangerous.
If the enemy could be careless and be lured out from the army by him, and then he could join forces with Michaela to use a decapitation tactic on the enemy, then this mission would be perfect.
Unfortunately, the old shaman was very cautious and immediately noticed something was wrong. Not only was he not attracted, but he actually stepped back.
There were a few green-skinned God-chosen heroes nearby who seemed to sense an opportunity to take advantage and began to rush towards them with their troops.
If it were normal, Levi would be very happy with this result, and then kill all the opponents, but now he frowned slightly.
At this time, a wizard named Suifeng noticed something and approached Levi: "Brother Levi, how about letting me try?"
Levi glanced at him, somewhat confused. These mages sent by Master were indeed experts, but they hadn't shown any special abilities before?
Even many of his companions were bewildered and looked at each other, wondering why he had the guts to take on this task. Could it be that he had some hidden magic that no one knew about?
But Levi quickly agreed and signaled to the other party to go ahead and try. Even if it failed, there would be no loss.
Then everyone saw the other party rushing over carelessly, first using an unknown wind magic, and then coughing twice: "Hey, greenskins and goblins down there!"
In an instant, the sound traveled several miles away. It was obvious that it should be a magic that could amplify his volume.
Many greenskins and goblins' attention was attracted by this, even the two shamans were no exception.
Seeing this scene, the wizard suddenly became a little proud: "Hey, that old green-skinned shaman, do you dare to fight with us in the forest over there, or do you want to learn from your one-eyed god and just run away when you see us elves?"
In an instant, the entire battlefield fell silent, and even Levi stared at the other party with wide eyes.
He had just thought of several possibilities, but he had never expected that the other party would launch such a direct and fierce verbal offensive.
As we all know, one of the eyes of the orc god Gruumsh was blinded on the spot during a duel with the current elven god-king Corellon, and it is said that under the influence of divine power, Gruumsh's eye can almost never be restored.
This has always been considered a shame by Gruumsh, and has also become a taboo for many greenskins and the gods they believe in.
But now, on the battlefield, in front of thousands of troops, this elven wizard directly revealed the opponent's past, and the taunting effect was maximized on the spot!
However, Levi had never thought of using such a strategy before. After all, this was a world with true gods. What was the difference between exposing other people's secrets and pointing at a monk and calling him a bald donkey?
Deep Sea Sashela had previously breached the Black Castle's many defensive facilities in one fell swoop. If this attracted Gruumsh's attention and he punched down, wouldn't their entire army be wiped out in an instant?
Although this guy should know how powerful the gods are, in the final analysis, he still has a serious lack of reverence for the gods, even the hostile gods.
Thinking of this, Levi immediately distanced himself from the other party to avoid being affected by possible retaliation.
He would really rather not have this kind of credit.
After the many greenskins used their limited brain capacity to roughly figure out what he wanted to express, they all suddenly became furious.
Large groups of greenskins stared at him with red eyes, howled and waved their weapons, as if they couldn't wait to hack him to death.
Some of them were so impatient that they just threw out their heavy axes and machetes. It didn't matter even if they missed. They just wanted to vent their anger and hatred.
In contrast, the goblins did not react much.
Although goblins and hobgoblins often account for nearly half of the greenskins' many tribes and armies, they were not completely in line with the greenskins from the very beginning, because they were actually forced and enslaved by the greenskins.
Maybe some goblins will spontaneously worship Big Bro, but most of them still choose to believe in Magnubiye, the main god of goblins and hobgoblins, rather than Gruumsh, the main god of greenskins.
The goblin gods, including Magnubbiye, have been in a long-term war with the pantheons of many human races, including greenskins, dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, etc., and the focus is on the war between the greenskin gods themselves.
Because the greenskins love to enslave goblins and hobgoblins and use them as cannon fodder in their armies, and the greenskin gods also try to treat the goblin gods in the same way, which the goblin gods absolutely cannot tolerate.
In the Overworld, the Greenskins need cannon fodder, and they will still try to enslave the Goblins and Hobgoblins.
Unfortunately, the goblins and hobgoblins were not strong enough to completely get rid of the greenskins, so they could only compromise with each other reluctantly.
In the end, even in many tribes, the goblins gradually stole the high positions, because they were cunning and timid by nature, and could survive the frequent wars more easily than most greenskins who only knew how to be reckless.
This gave the goblin gods an inspiration, and they issued orders to the goblins under their command, asking them to try to enslave the greenskins in turn.
The greenskin gods certainly knew this, but because they and their greenskin people were all in a chaotic camp, not to mention changing their orders every day, there were frequent conflicts between the greenskin tribes and even villages, and there was no way to effectively avoid the infiltration of the goblins.
So over time, until now, a situation has been formed that Levi thinks is incredible.
It is obvious that the greenskin gods and the goblin gods hate each other, and so do their people, but when it comes to dealing with many foreign races such as the high elves and dwarves, they will still fight side by side.
Listening to the constant shouting of the elves in the sky, looking at the gazes of the greenskins around him, and the meaningful gaze of the goblin shaman, the old greenskin shaman gritted his teeth, his heart and head filled with curses.
Of course he knew that this was the enemy's strategy, and he also knew that once he went there, he would fall into a trap, but as a target of criticism, he had to stand up.
Otherwise, after today, he would definitely be punished and judged by other shamans, and it is not impossible that he would even be executed directly.
Even though he believed in the greenskin god of war - Inavr, rather than the greenskin main god - Gruumsh!
Damn it, when did even the elves who value etiquette and honor learn to use such a despicable and shameless strategy? Isn't this a trick only humans would use?
"Ahhh, shut up, elf, you will pay for your blasphemy!"
Roaring like this, the old shaman also rode on a war pig and took the initiative to lead his troops towards the woods.
Many green-skinned God-chosen heroes around also heard the news and moved. It was unknown whether they wanted to protect the old shaman or try to take advantage of him.
Levi didn't care. He just kept his eyes on the goblin shaman. After all, the people with boiling beast blood were just more in number, but apart from the greenskin shaman, the goblin shaman was the most threatening enemy!
Then he was very pleased to find that the Goblin Shaman had no intention of coming to help, and even now it seemed that it was beginning to reorganize the army that had fallen into chaos because of the Stinking Cloud spell, but in fact, wasn't it trying to prevent other greenskins from assisting the old Shaman?
He immediately stopped hesitating, turned around and left on the griffin, while at the same time he was busy communicating with Michaela on the other side through the surveillance Yakong.
He and she had originally chosen another battlefield, but now that they had accidentally lured the old shaman out, they naturally had to adjust their battle strategy slightly.
During this process, he kept attacking the troops of those annoying God-chosen heroes. Although their strength should be irrelevant to Michaela, it would be good to weaken the opponent in advance, and it could also be a response to the insults they had just given him.
Suifeng also kept issuing various provocations to the old shaman. Even though he was hit by two magic spells from the other party, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he cursed even more fiercely.
Now, whether it was to defend the glory of the gods or to avenge himself, the old shaman had enough reasons to kill Suifeng, and he began to use magic to fight back.
Of course, the most important reason why the old shaman's mentality changed so obviously was that Levi took them around but did not go towards the forest.
No matter if there are any unexpected changes or the opponent's trap is not prepared, the old shaman can make a decision and eliminate the opponent on the road as soon as possible.
This horse is on a plain and there is no blind spot in the vision. Isn't it much better than stepping into the enemy's trap?
The old shaman opened fire at full force, and for a moment he was chased around by the wind.
In the end, Levi couldn't stand it anymore and fought with the old shaman for several rounds.
It's true that although everyone thinks that the greenskins' spells are weak, with the old shaman's strength, even the simplest and most basic magic can exert quite good power in his hands.
Levi used the magic he mastered, such as micrometeors, ice storms, and continuous fireballs, in various ways, but the old shaman only needed one move. He used green energy to prop up a shield and withstood his attacks, showing his amazing strength.
As the fight went on, he could even occasionally imitate Suifeng and taunt Levi and the others. It seemed that he had learned something.
But he was obviously not as brave as Suifeng. Even when the two sides were in a hostile state, he dared not insult any elven god.
The other green-skinned God-chosen heroes followed suit and cursed even more harshly, which made the mages of the Arcane Temple, who already had a grudge against them, so angry that they wanted to fight the other side with real weapons.
Levi didn't care. What's the point of gaining the upper hand verbally? Waiting would kill them and their troops, which would be more effective than a thousand or ten thousand words.
Moreover, this time is getting closer and closer...
Suddenly, he received a message from Inspector Yakong. He stopped hesitating and immediately started to cast again. At the same time, he quickly ordered other mages: "Everyone, use restrictive magic!"
Although the mages were a little surprised, they still chose to obey at the first moment. Perhaps at the beginning, they were somewhat unconvinced of Levi, but after so many days of fighting, they had already been convinced.
So all kinds of small magic spells appeared one after another and hit the old shaman head-on. Even Xiao Qi took the time to cast a spider web spell.
As for Levi himself, he cast an ice storm on the spot.
The old shaman immediately felt something was wrong. He first used the flaming dagger to break the spider web, and then wanted to retreat temporarily to see what was going on.
Then he suddenly widened his eyes and looked up into the sky. Behind some clouds, there were extremely strong magical fluctuations coming from there!
But it was too late. With a delicate shout, the clouds suddenly exploded and Michaela emerged from the clouds with great vigor. A fireball as dazzling as the sun had formed in her palm and was falling down at an unimaginable speed!
Accompanied by infinite light and heat, the old shaman suddenly closed his eyes in pain, not only because of the stimulation of the light and heat, but also because he knew that he might not be able to accomplish the task of reviving his tribe, because he had recognized that extremely powerful magic!
“Yang·Flame·Explosion!”
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the whole earth shook violently. Even though he was in mid-air, Levi could clearly feel a strong gust of wind.
Even though the proud griffin flapped its wings desperately, it was still inevitably blown back dozens of meters. As for the others riding giant eagles or Pegasus, they were even more miserable.
Even Levi couldn't help but cover his eyes, because now his vision was full of golden halos. Even though Michaela's target was not him, he was still affected by it. This made him see once again the gap between himself and the powerful natives.
Although many natives had demonstrated extremely powerful strength during the Battle of Black Castle, he was busy fighting at the time and did not have much time to observe. He also believed that the other side was still far away from him and there was no need to make a comparison for the time being.
But Michaela was different. They were already familiar with each other and had a good relationship. Levi felt complicated when he saw his acquaintance display such powerful strength.
Although he has performed extremely well in recent days, and even just now almost single-handedly delayed the greenskin army of thousands of troops, it is far from the time for him to be proud!
While continuing to retreat, he cast summoning magic to call out the celestial creatures to protect him. Although Michaela, who had been prepared for a long time, dealt a fatal blow to the enemy, the more chaotic the situation was, the more careful he had to be.
A few seconds later, when the light faded and his eyes gradually returned to normal, the first thing he saw was a huge mark on the ground that looked like the sun, with ripples radiating outwards.
The old shaman had disappeared long ago, and along with him, all his troops within a diameter of dozens of meters disappeared into thin air. In their place were more than a dozen objects emitting various colors of light, placed on the ground that reflected light like glass.
Yes, the originally flat gravel ground turned into a slightly concave basin under Michaela's blow, and a large area of ground nearby was directly melted into hard glass.
There is glass in this world too. It is said that the first person to invent it was the Red Dragon. Now that I think about it, it should have used a similar method...
After doing all this, Michaela was obviously a little tired, but she still drove the mount under her crotch and flew down rapidly under the protection of several wood elf war eagle knights holding bows and arrows, and several times the number of giant eagles.
Since the day when the Black Castle was breached, Illidan, the Shepherd God Pan and the Star of Destruction have disappeared one after another. Now the former two are still missing, but the latter has obviously reached some kind of agreement with the high elves.
However, these flying arms, which were originally considered powerful and handsome, pale in comparison to Mikaela's mount.
Because the giant bird, which was completely red and exuded nobility and magnificence from the inside out, was none other than the legendary phoenix!
Although this phoenix seemed to be significantly smaller than what others on the forum had described, and was most likely still a sub-adult, and its rank might not even be level 7, but after such a short period of time, Michaela had obtained such a powerful mount, and it was clear that she had had some other adventure.
It was not until this time that the many wizards in front and behind Levi had time to utter a series of exclamations. It was unclear whether they were sighing at the power of this magic, or sighing that they had finally seen the phoenix with their own eyes.
At the same time, the remaining greenskins finally reacted. They all let out angry roars, and several God-chosen heroes rushed directly towards the objects on the ground.
They were not sure whether they could survive the upcoming battle, so naturally the first thing they did was to grab more spoils, and then think about other things later!
But Levi was faster than them and covered them all with a spider web. Although 99% of the damage was caused by Michaela and the old shaman's spoils had little to do with him, he could not let the enemy get away with it!
The other mages also woke up as if from a dream, and threw some low-level restrictive magic over, instantly restricting them.
Michaela also acted decisively and waved her hand to summon a flaming skull with a diameter of more than two meters, made entirely of flames.
With a wave of the staff, it was like a galloping bull, instantly knocking away several greenskin God-chosen heroes. Then, with its remaining momentum, it plowed a path full of charred corpses in the greenskin army.
Several green-skinned God-chosen heroes immediately let out a series of wails and curses, and it was unclear whether they were lamenting their failure to grab the spoils in time, or the heavy losses of their troops.
But no one cares about them now. Levi raised his hand and launched a series of fireballs and magic missiles, killing several seriously injured enemies one by one. Now is a good time for revenge.
Then he moved towards Michaela's direction and prepared to use his most powerful micro meteor again. Since he had decided to fight, it would be best to kill all the enemies.
Mikaela naturally did the same thing. To her, there was no distinction between the greenskins, the natives and the chosen heroes; they were all enemies who should be killed.
With the help of other mages, nearly a thousand greenskins were killed in less than two minutes. The main reason was that Mikaela's fire magic was too violent.
Although she did not use Yangyan Blast again, she could use various fire magic such as Flame Skull, Flame Vortex, Fireball, Consecutive Fireballs and Fiery Magic Wall with ease, and her overall output was far better than Levi.
Moreover, her fire phoenix is also very ferocious. Although it is currently acting as a flying mount and therefore cannot rush down to engage in hand-to-hand combat, it can still spit out fireballs continuously.
Not only is it more powerful than Levi's continuous fireballs, but it also seems to have no consumption or cooling time. The two working together are like adding wings to a tiger, and the destructive power is astonishingly high.
After finishing all this, Levi did not rest, but immediately looked at Michaela: "The other side has some catapults. If we want to defend the village, we must destroy them first!"
Mikaela smiled slightly, "I saw it. Otherwise, where do you think Reiner is now? And why didn't the goblin shaman send troops to check?"
Levi then laughed a little: "Okay, I get it. Shall we go and help? By the way, can you introduce me to your powerful and beautiful mount?"
As if it understood what he said, the Fire Phoenix immediately raised its head and let out a very clear cry.
The griffin under his crotch, which was originally very proud, now lowered its head willingly, as if to express submission to the other party. There was nothing it could do, no matter in terms of strength or appearance, it was easily beaten by the other party.
"No need. There are the Dragon Prince Cavalry led by Reiner, as well as the mages from the Black Castle and the priests from the two goddess temples. With the current strength of the greenskins, they are unable to stop them."
Then Michaela couldn't help but smile brightly. "As for it, when I was out exterminating wandering demons, I happened to discover an important hidden base of the undead. They had not been discovered and awakened by the demons before, but I discovered them."
"After burning several bone dragons and many terror knights inside, combined with my previous accumulation, my strength was further improved. It happened that the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Safri arrived, and I took a fancy to Xiaohong, who was about to become an adult, at first sight, just as Xiaohong took a fancy to me."
Hearing this, the fire phoenix under her crotch suddenly chirped proudly, as if reminding Levi that it was Xiaohong.
Levi couldn't help but twitch his lips. Such a proud and beautiful Fire Phoenix, such a powerful and intelligent wizard, ended up researching such a name, and both of them seemed a little complacent about it?
At this moment, there was a loud bang in the distance, and then flames shot up into the sky. It was probably clearly visible from dozens of miles away. Even if it was not the powerful magic called Yangyan Explosion that Michaela had just used, it was obviously extremely powerful and should have no problem destroying those catapults.
Obviously, Reiner and his men had also succeeded.
Mikaela also looked over, and then she couldn't help laughing again: "It seems that my colleagues have accumulated a lot of anger during the battle against the demons."
Most of the mages in their Kingdom of Caledor prefer fire magic. However, when they were fighting against demons before, fire magic was almost useless because 99% of demons were resistant to fire, which made them feel very frustrated.
But now, when the enemy has turned into greenskins, their strength can be fully exerted!
Li Wei immediately suggested: "Should we pursue the victory now, or kill all the enemy cavalry units first?"
In fact, in his opinion, with Mikaela as the human cannon, not counting the goblin shaman, it would be difficult for the greenskins to resist her attacks with the strength they have shown now.
As long as she had enough magic power and time, and was a little more cautious and kept a safe distance, she was afraid she would be able to kill all the remaining thousands of troops.
Mikaela hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have some concerns: "Let's kill all the enemy cavalry units first. We don't have to rush, because Lord Dragon Prince has decided that this time we will not simply drive away those greenskins. After solving the threat of the demons, we will completely wipe out the entire Red Cloud Tribe!"
