Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 238 Reinforcements have arrived
With the addition of Michaela and the air force she led, the process of clearing out the enemy cavalry units became unusually smooth. The enemy could neither escape nor resist, so they were quickly killed by them.
During this process, Levi discovered that he had slightly overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Goblin Wolf Chariot.
Because the greenskins' magic is very underdeveloped, there are no life-linking magic circles between their knights, chariots, and mounts.
This resulted in the cavalry archers such as Lisadilan having to snipe the pulling mount wolves first, and the wolves would be directly destroyed. Then Simon and others could easily take down the enemy with a charge.
At the same time, Levi also learned that the Yangyan Explosion that Michaela had used before was an 8th-level magic.
It looks like fire magic, but in fact it is a hybrid magic of light and fire . Its full power has not been shown just now. Its power can be maximized when dealing with the undead. It is a powerful magic that she has just learned.
Based on this inference, she is now most likely a powerful wizard with a level above 16, at least twice as high as Levi.
After killing the enemy's cavalry units, they successfully joined up with Reiner and other cavalrymen. Levi also saw the reinforcements clearly.
In addition to the cavalry led by Reiner and the several native fire mages that Michaela had mentioned before, there were also some special night elf reinforcements from the Moonbow Temple.
First, there are dozens of Storm Druids who can transform into Storm Crows. When in human form, they can cast some low-level healing and auxiliary magic like ordinary druids. After the transformation, they can use flying troops of wind and lightning magic, and are very flexible in combat.
Next are some special beings with the upper body of a female elf, starting from the waist, and the lower body is some deer.
Some of them held long spears in their hands, while others carried short spears on their backs. They moved quickly and were natural cavalrymen.
At first, Levi thought they were some beast people who had surrendered, just like the Zhendan Dynasty conquered the tiger people, monkey people, and panda people, but they were a little too beautiful.
But Reiner soon explained to Levi that this was not the case.
They are called forest fairies, or dryads, and are said to be the descendants of a vanished nature demigod.
They are swift and intelligent, love nature and peace, hate evil and violence, and call themselves the protectors of the forest.
They are very flexible cavalry units, and their spears or javelins are coated with poison, which can cause damage to the enemy and reduce the enemy's movement speed.
In addition, they also know some basic healing and purification skills, which means they often have an absolute advantage when fighting against other infantry.
Moreover, they are very good at fighting in the forest, which makes it difficult for outside enemies to invade their habitats, and they have always lived a peaceful life.
Only in a few areas do they maintain an alliance with the wood elves to fight against invasions by beastmen or humans.
The status of beastmen in the main world is no different from that of demons. They are both hated by everyone, so it is not surprising that the tree monsters deal with them.
As for being against humans, it is because they hate the large-scale deforestation of humans, which is the same as the druids, so it is easy for them to become friends.
But this time it was a little different. The reason they appeared here on their own initiative was because quite a number of tree spirits had completely surrendered to the night elves.
Speaking of which, this matter is somewhat related to Levi.
A long time ago, he killed some fallen tree people and learned the name of the twisted tree spirit Maokai from them. He then gave the information and related mission items to Reiner.
Reiner, who was then the captain of the Silver Helmet Knights, naturally reported it to Princess Belinda as soon as possible.
Then after a period of reconnaissance, they discovered that in a forest hundreds of miles away, there were a large number of fallen tree people entrenched there, trying to corrupt the entire forest. Therefore, they were fighting with the tree monsters there. The mastermind behind this was the famous twisted tree spirit.
Creatures like tree people seem to think and act slowly and have stubborn personalities, so once they decide on something, they are likely to stick to it.
It is said that the home of the twisted tree spirit was once destroyed by a magical catastrophe caused by humans, and since then, he has embarked on a path of revenge.
Then it gradually lost itself in the process, and might even have been bewitched by demons or monsters, and began to indiscriminately attack all races that used magic without distinguishing between right and wrong.
They had originally planned to go and help, and then see if they could try to recruit them, but unfortunately the demons soon began to invade in large numbers, leaving them unable to split their forces and unable to lend a helping hand to the tree demons.
It was not until the Black Castle was recaptured that Illidan Stormrage of the Moonbow Temple and Star of Destruction from the Wood Elves worked together to solve the problem.
Even though the Twisted Dryad is a legendary hero, it still seems vulnerable when facing the combined forces of the two. After all, races like dryads and tree people have very obvious strengths and weaknesses.
Afterwards, the Star of Destruction returned to the Great Forest of Athel Loren with the Twisted Dryad to judge and purify it, and to inquire about any hidden secrets that might exist.
They certainly knew that it was not the only legendary dryad that had fallen into darkness , but they discovered during the battle that the twisted dryad seemed to be secretly in contact with other fallen dryads, which was very important to the wood elves.
Because several other dark tree spirits had a special hatred for the wood elves, believing that the wood elves had occupied the forest that originally belonged to them and disturbed their peace.
As for the tree monsters who were severely tormented by the fallen tree people, in order to repay their gratitude and to find a backer for themselves, they joined the night elves.
Both types of troops are reinforcements sent by the Moon Bow Temple. They are both level 4 and have extraordinary combat effectiveness.
Of course, their weaknesses are also very obvious, that is, their defense and health are low, they are afraid of volleys of arrows, and they are not good at close combat.
Except for priests and a very small number of warlocks who can transform, the health points of most magic professions are quite pitiful, and druids are no exception.
The dryad sisters were all dressed very coolly and pleasing to the eye, but it was obviously impossible to expect high defensive power from equipment made of animal skins and leaves.
At this point, a tree demon next to him, who was obviously dressed much more gorgeously and should be an elite captain, also took the initiative to smile at Levi: "My lord, I am Lunala. Lady Renee sent my sisters here. We will wait for your orders from now on."
Levi's eyes suddenly lit up. Renee was the bishop of the Moonbow Temple in Ashridge Town and almost the highest commander of the Moonbow Temple in this colony. He had met her before and had a good conversation with her.
Although there are only dozens of these tree monsters in total, and the role they can play in such a large-scale battle is minimal, this illustrates one thing.
Neither Renee nor the Moonbow Temple have forgotten about me. It seems that there may be new progress on the side of the Red Brotherhood.
So he smiled and nodded to the other party, and signaled the other party to continue to follow Reiner for the time being and pay attention to protecting his own safety.
Lunala naturally agreed with a smile, and then Levi turned to Reiner again. He felt that Reiner did not have any fear or disgust for Illidan, but rather had a faint admiration for him? Obviously, Illidan acted like a demon that day, didn't he?
Facing his question, Reiner immediately changed his smile and said solemnly and respectfully, "Lord Illidan was once called Dalar Firecloak, the Lord of the Green Flame. He was a true god. In order to fight against the evil Lolth, he was once severely injured and underwent an extremely evil and cruel transformation."
"But now, with the help of the goddess, he has finally been freed and regained his freedom."
"In order to continue to fight against evil, he does not hesitate to use the power that he hates and even detests. He is a true hero!"
Seeing the other party being so serious, Levi could only nod his head, but he was somewhat worried in his heart. This statement didn't seem to match the information he had.
Although they all utilize the power of the devil, there seem to be major problems with the order of sequence and cause and effect.
If I guessed correctly, Illidan became like this after he obtained the sealed object of the legendary Fire Demon, right?
Hmm, maybe this is what the elves and gods say to each other? Then I'd better not say anything more. Although I was full of doubts during the process, it was obvious that the Moonbow Goddess had already figured it out.
Although he still had some doubts in his mind, he was still on the battlefield, so Levi did not waste time. Instead, he followed Michaela and took advantage of the situation to kill a lot of people in the greenskin formation.
What's more, this time he really witnessed the power of the high-level wizard with his own eyes, and once again confirmed the greenskins' biggest weakness.
No wonder the greenskins who once became the overlords of the main world are now all oppressed into a barren and bitterly cold land. Even the power of the greenskin gods has been greatly weakened, because they can't do anything to mages like themselves and Mikaela!
So Levi pulled Michaela along and tried to clean up those guys from the Boiling Beast Blood first. It was not entirely to avenge the previous insults, but more for strategic considerations.
They also sent out thousands of troops this time, and their number was not much less than that of the indigenous people. If they could kill all the chosen heroes of God, the remaining scattered sand would no longer be a threat . At least half of the threat would be eliminated this time.
They were also very successful at the beginning. Due to the outstanding appearance of the God-chosen heroes and the fact that most of them were located at the front or center of their teams, they were able to and killed five or six of them very quickly and neatly.
During this process, the goblin shaman, who was originally calm and composed and indirectly caused the death of the old green-skinned shaman, also secretly tried to attack them.
But soon, when Michaela threw a fireball and cleared all the goblins around it on the spot, it could only hide under the body of the Arachnari giant spider in shame, trying to survive instead of fighting back.
But the remaining few guys were more difficult to find. After seeing the miserable plight of their companions, they became smarter and took the initiative to replace their more conspicuous equipment.
There were also two people who were probably thieves who hid themselves, so they searched for a long time but still couldn't find the real culprit.
But the result was still acceptable. With the death of many God-chosen heroes, at least nearly two thousand troops lost control, and a large number of greenskins and goblins fled in all directions. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while, and even the indigenous army was messed up.
This was a good opportunity for the cavalry units including Reiner and Simon, allowing them to take advantage of the opportunity to kill a large number of people.
Seeing that they had circled several times but had not found a new target, Levi couldn't help but suggest: "Michaela, do you want to deal with that goblin shaman?"
Although the current situation is very favorable for his side and the greenskins have almost collapsed across the board, the best option now is to withdraw directly. However, the goblin shaman did not choose to retreat, which made him feel a little worried.
The other party is likely to have reinforcements or other backup plans.
If it is the former, it is actually not a big deal. They are all highly mobile troops this time. Even if the battle is not going well, they can just retreat directly.
But if it is the latter, they will not be able to respond in a targeted manner.
In order to avoid the opponent's sudden outburst and cause unnecessary losses to your side, the best choice is naturally to take the initiative to force the opponent.
Michaela thought for a moment, then looked around the battlefield, and finally nodded: "Alright, although the Arachnari Giant Spider is a level 6 war beast, known for its defense and health, if it just passively takes the beating, it won't take us much time to kill it."
Although she said it was us, Levi knew in his heart that the main output would of course be herself.
It's not like he hadn't tried to attack the giant spider just now, but although the goblin shaman looked very timid and stupid and hardly played any role in the encounter from beginning to end, it did a pretty good job in defense.
He threw a few energy totems onto the ground, and with the green energy shield in place, even his micrometeors were powerless against the opponent.
Although the greenskins and goblins do not have any magical heritage, their strength has reached its level, so they still have some unique skills.
They have very few spells, but because of this, they are forced to become more specialized.
But suddenly, Levi changed his mind and wondered if the reason why the goblin shaman behaved so cowardly and weak was also a strategy?
The conflict between the greenskins and goblins has a long history. At its level, it is impossible for it not to be aware of this matter.
Although the relatively stronger goblins suffered greater casualties in this battle, goblins are just like mice or rabbits, with extremely strong reproductive abilities, and they live in large nests in the wild.
On the contrary, if too many greenskins die, it will not be easy to replenish them.
If the facts are really as he guessed, then this is really a good thing for them. With internal troubles and external threats, how can the Red Cloud Tribe not be defeated?
Now that they had made the decision, they naturally headed in the direction of the goblin shaman. While flying, Levi also noticed that Michaela was constantly scanning the entire battlefield.
He hadn't noticed it before, but he noticed it this time. Michaela's eyes fell more than once on the bear goblins who were fleeing because of the death of the chosen heroes.
Even though they were considered brave among infantrymen of the same level, they were not worthy of her attention, right?
Thinking of her previous caution, Levi couldn't help but ask, "Micaela, is there anything special about those bugbears?"
Michaela hesitated for a moment, but she finally chose to tell the truth.
"Levi, you should know that goblins, bugbears, and greenskins all have their own pantheons and gods, right?"
Seeing him nod, she continued, "The bugbears have one lesser divine power, one weak divine power, and one demigod, the bugbear god of fear, a demigod of chaotic evil - Skegret."
"We just received an oracle that the God of Fear suddenly left his kingdom a few months ago. He not only severed ties with the gods in other pantheons, but also completely cut off communication with his followers. He has disappeared without a trace."
Levi narrowed his eyes immediately: "So you think that the reason why Beastblood suddenly has so many bugbears as subordinates is probably related to the demigod of fear?"
Michaela nodded simply: "Yes, the Red Cloud Tribe has never driven any bugbears before, and there has been no trace of them around here, so we have every reason to suspect that there is a connection between the two."
In fact, this is the real reason why Lord Dragon Prince decided to launch a full-scale counterattack. Lord Dragon Prince has been stuck at the legendary level for a long time.
If they could find clues about the opponent, or even kill him and allow him to advance to demigod, then the entire colony and even the entire high elf race would definitely benefit from it.
In comparison, whether or not we can kill a thousand or two thousand more greenskins and goblins here is actually not that important.
Although Michaela obviously still had some concerns and did not speak openly on this occasion, Levi could not help but feel a surge of emotion.
Another demigod has joined this chaotic game. It seems that when he and his men wipe out the Red Cloud Tribe, it may not be as smooth as expected.
But because of this, things are starting to become more and more interesting!
After a brief pause, Levi asked another question: "Michaela, I wonder if it is convenient, which god is this oracle from?"
"It's the goddess Lilith."
Levi immediately thought to himself that it was as expected, and at the same time he couldn't help but have more thoughts in his mind.
Obviously, the high elves have dozens of gods, and this goddess Lilith only has weak divine power. In terms of strength alone, she is probably ranked at the bottom of the entire pantheon. However, in this chaotic situation, her appearance rate is unexpectedly high.
It seems that she is the same as the Moon Bow Goddess, who has accumulated a lot of power in the past, but has never shown it. Until now, when the elves are experiencing great changes, they have all decided to make a formal effort to announce their existence to the outside world.
The Moonbow Goddess quietly created Illidan, a being who was at least a legend and most likely a demigod, and also won over a considerable number of night elves.
The goddess Lilith was not to be outdone, and it seemed that she had set her sights on the bear goblin demigod.
No, it should be more than that. He seemed to have heard Reiner say before that the upcoming legendary wizard Teclis was also the chosen one of the goddess Lilith, and the goddess even personally granted him a powerful staff.
If the dragon prince Imrik could kill the half-god bear goblin, and Teclis could kill the old black dragon Blake who wanted to become a god in the Underdark, then she might be better than the Moonbow Goddess in this regard.
So, what kind of benefits can you possibly get in this process?
Is it just to help deal with some cannon fodder while the other party is encircling the demigod?
Levi thought about it and felt that the most likely possibility was that the undead were responsible.
The vampire viscount once said that a true god would also appear among them vampires.
According to the information I have collected so far, it is actually very difficult for mortals to ascend to godhood. Unless a powerful being bestows divinity on you, or you kill other gods and plunder their relics to ascend to godhood, it is almost impossible.
And even if you are lucky enough to become a god through these two methods, you will still face many challenges.
You also need a strong background to protect you and help you get through the initial fragile stage. You also need enough fame, or legendary status, to let other mortals know of your existence, so as to facilitate the subsequent spread of faith, recruitment of believers, etc.
But the current vampires seem to have none of these conditions.
Therefore, even if they really have the ability to create a god, it would probably be at most a demigod, and a vampire demigod at that, who would be severely restrained by sunlight, fire, thunder, etc.
But the most common people in the Kingdom of Caledor are fire magicians. Even the dragon prince Imrik and the giant dragon under his crotch are very good at fire attacks...
From this point of view, the final key may not be how to kill the possible vampire demigod, but how to grab the head?
But Levi immediately shook his head. No matter what, it was still too far-fetched to think about these things now.
The starting point for legends is 20. Putting aside other things, as long as the opponent randomly casts a few magic spells similar to Yangyan Blast, all his current troops combined will not be enough to kill the opponent. It is better to strengthen his strength as soon as possible.
While they were thinking, they were already approaching the Goblin Shaman quickly. Levi started with Micro Meteor, and Michaela was even more rude. She flew directly into the clouds, ready to release the Sun Flame Explosion.
This 8th-level magic is indeed extremely powerful, but it takes a lot of time to release. Even if she has many expertise and equipment, she still needs to prepare.
But as it rose, the little red under her crotch made a slightly sharp cry, warning her.
After seeing the scene clearly in the distant sky, she was suddenly shocked, because there were hundreds of flying units there, using the cover of clouds to try to approach them.
If Levi hadn't persuaded her to attack the Goblin Shaman, and she decided to use Sunburst, she would probably be faced with a surprise attack in less than half a minute!
Those harpies are fine, even though there are many of them, there is clearly no aura of energy on them, and they are obviously cannon fodder that have not yet advanced.
But one of them is similar to a small dragon, but has only one pair of hind claws and a long neck, which looks a bit like a duck. It is the strongest flying monster of the greenskins, a level 6 wyvern!
And there were more than one of them. In fact, on the back of the leading wyvern was a muscular orc warrior over three meters tall. He was obviously an extremely powerful enemy.
No wonder the Goblin Shaman did not retreat even in this situation. It obviously knew that it would receive reinforcements, and perhaps these flying units were only a small part of them.
Thinking of this, Michaela made a prompt decision, stopped the magic in her hand, and drove Xiao Hong down rapidly: "Levi, tell everyone to retreat immediately, the greenskins' reinforcements are coming!"
Levi was also shocked. He didn't expect an accident to happen at such a critical moment. Fortunately, he discovered it not too late. If the greenskins launched a sudden attack when his side was fighting fiercely with the goblin shaman, that would be really bad.
After casually throwing out the remaining micro-meteors, he immediately gave orders to many summoned creatures through the mind link, and then passed the orders to Reiner, Lisa Dilan, Julia, Simon and others.
Even Michaela is so anxious, it is obvious that the enemy is very powerful. If she doesn’t run away, it will be too late!
