Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 242: Nar's Seal
Nar waved her hand, and the weeds in front of her separated to the left and right by themselves. A fairly wide road appeared, and a green energy shield in the distance came into their sight.
There was no need to say more. At Levi's signal, Zhou Miyin and other melee troops took the lead in forming a neat formation and moving forward. Donna and other long-range troops followed closely behind. As for Simon's cavalry troops, they temporarily cooperated with some archers to guard the entrance of the valley.
If they want to completely eliminate the threat of the Lizardmen, they must go deep underground, and ordinary cavalry will be of little use.
In the past two days, they followed Li Wei in his battles and gained a lot of attention, but this time it was their turn to take a break.
The dryads and huntresses from the night elves were not affected, and their movements were still very flexible.
Similarly, Risadilan and the Avalons he brought with him could also join the battle. Even without mounts, they were very skilled archers.
As he moved forward, Levi cast various summoning magics. Soon, dozens of summoned creatures appeared in front and behind him. As the number of their species continued to increase, it took him a long time just to summon them before each battle, which actually troubled him a little.
As he moved, Nar, who had been secretly watching him, became more and more surprised. If ordinary monsters and elements were relatively common, then the appearance of so many celestial creatures was extraordinary.
But this is a great thing for them. Perhaps this time they can really solve the problem of the war lizards permanently.
As the distance got closer, Levi also heard a series of dull collisions. He soon saw that under the green energy seal with a diameter of several meters, a large group of ugly humanoid lizards were desperately attacking. They must be the war lizardmen.
As they continued to attack, some tiny cracks soon appeared in the energy seal. It seemed that although Nar had the ability to set up such a sealing array, it served more as a warning rather than protection or blocking.
Dozens of Dragon Tooth Soldiers were also holding bone spears and round shields, surrounding the seal, and it seemed that they were already accustomed to this kind of thing.
"Alduin, what are you going to do next?"
"Of course, we have to block the entrance of the cave. After suffering a certain number of casualties, the Lizardmen will retreat on their own." Alduin answered without hesitation.
"Then we chase them and slowly find and kill them one by one?"
Alduin was a little confused, but Nar beside him immediately understood what he meant: "You want to release them?"
Levi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I want to see how many there are!"
It is certainly safer to block the entrance of the cave and kill them, but in that case, it will be difficult for the long-range shooters and mages to be very effective. It is better to release all the war lizards and have a large-scale fight with real swords and guns.
He just didn't believe that these chaotic evil lizardmen could defeat them.
Especially after he was promoted to warlord, the bonus to the high elves under his command became even stronger. I'm afraid that ordinary level 3 soldiers will not be able to cause any damage to the Silver Guards who are in a martial state, right?
Alduin and Nar looked at each other, then nodded at the same time, both agreeing with Levi's plan.
In theory, their valley was also the territory of the High Elves, so they naturally had a certain degree of understanding of the many types of High Elves' troops. With the power displayed by Levi, the ordinary three to five hundred War Lizardmen might not be enough for them to kill in a quarter of an hour.
Moreover, this is a valley. If we cannot completely defeat our own side, those lizardmen will not be able to escape even if they want to, and they will not pose a threat to the villages or towns outside.
The two sides quickly reached a consensus, and Levi quickly arranged the formation dozens of meters away from the magic circle, and now he was just waiting for the enemy to appear.
Alduin and the Dragonfang soldiers stood at the front line, shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Miyin and others.
In fact, according to Levi's original idea, he could just stay in the rear and command to avoid any accidents.
Although you look down on the Lizardmen, it is better to be cautious. This is called despising the enemy strategically and taking the enemy seriously tactically.
But Alduin rejected his kindness, saying that Dragonborn warriors were never afraid of any enemy, and he was about to reach the critical moment of upgrading, so he hoped to kill more enemies with his own hands.
As if to strengthen his persuasiveness, he directly used his special power to make his sword emit a warm light like a torch, which was obviously an effect similar to weapon enchantment.
Now that things have come to this, Levi naturally won't dissuade him. At most, he can just ask the priests to keep an eye on him later.
Following Nar's delicate cry, the magic circle, which was already covered with many cracks, dissipated on the spot, and the two war lizardmen who had exerted too much force fell halfway.
Seeing the magic circle disappear but they did not suffer the expected attack, the two lizardmen looked at each other and felt that they were equally confused, but then they became excited.
I don’t know how many battles they went through, but finally, they successfully broke out of the ground!
Following a series of disgusting howls, the war lizards rushed directly towards the nearest high elves like wild dogs on the loose.
Their simple intelligence is not enough for them to immediately figure out why new enemies appear, but this is actually irrelevant to them. The only thing they know is that the other party is food and sacrifice!
Signaling Donna to wait and see for a while, Levi just quietly watched the war lizard man rushing towards him.
The entrance to the cave is so small, and the number of War Lizardmen that can pour out at once is extremely limited. Even if left alone, their numbers will not be too exaggerated in a short period of time.
Now the firepower of the shooters under Donna's command is too strong. If they kill too many in one wave and scare the enemy away, they will have to work hard next.
A few seconds later, the first wave of lizardmen swung clubs and hammers at the shield of a Silver Light Guard, but the attacked Silver Light Guard didn't say a word, and even his shield didn't shake too much. He directly responded with a spear.
Then Elegy, Zhou Miyin, the shrunken Bayoru and Oduin and others also launched a counterattack. Almost in an instant, the battle area was filled with blood and flesh, and many casualties appeared.
Seeing this, Levi couldn't help but sigh, these war lizardmen were just so-so, they could only just break the defense of the Silver Guards. Even if they stood there without dodging, it would be difficult for them to cause much damage.
But on the contrary, they could create a huge bloody hole in the opponent's body with a single thrust of their spear. Often, the two sides would fight for no more than five rounds before the Level 3 War Lizard Hammerer would become a cold corpse.
Excluding those rare soldiers that are difficult to recruit, the Tier 3 Silver Guards, in their martial arts state, are already the best among Tier 3 infantry.
Apart from their slightly weaker physical fitness, they have almost no obvious shortcomings. The recruitment and maintenance costs are not particularly expensive, and the cost-effectiveness is very good. This is already recognized on the forum.
The only ones with similar positioning and comparable to them are probably the Dwarf Warriors of the Nature Department, the Chaos Warriors of the Chaos Department, the Lizardman Spearmen of the Guardian Department, and a few others.
With the support of Levi's military rank, battle attributes, battle treasures, etc., a Silver Guard could kill three or five War Lizardmen without suffering much injury himself. The gap between the two sides is really too big.
This is when the stench of the war lizards takes effect. Once the druids and priests behind them cast purification magic to remove their body odor, they will be no match for them.
On the other side, Alduin's performance also surprised Levi. Holding a sword and shield, his fighting style was a bit like Simon at the beginning, before he was transformed into a knight.
Each of his moves was very steady, and it was difficult for the Lizardmen to break through his shield's defense. But with one strike of his sword, the Lizardmen would be seriously injured. With two strikes, he could kill one on the spot. His attack power was incredibly high.
This is when he only used a weapon enchantment and didn't use the paladin's signature abilities like Evil Break and Holy Healing. Once all of them are used, he will surely become even more powerful.
Now Levi is a little bit convinced that if they were fighting on flat ground, he should be able to match the green-skinned warrior.
On the other side, Nar also performed very well. She did not summon any animal companions. She seemed to be a druid who was proficient in various natural spells related to plants.
Not counting the previous magic circle, she can summon poisonous vines to entangle the enemy, and can also use bark magic and healing magic, etc.
Although these spells are not very powerful, they can be regarded as a very comprehensive and practical auxiliary druid, and they complement Alduin perfectly. Coupled with her wisdom, it is no wonder that Alduin asks for her opinion on almost everything.
In comparison, the performance of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers was somewhat unsatisfactory.
On the surface, they all looked extremely calm, with guns in their left hands and shields in their right hands, and some even wore armor, which made them look quite serious. But after really fighting with the war lizards, Levi found that they were just show-offs.
Often, a single blow from a War Lizardman would knock them to the ground. If a few slightly stronger War Lizardmen rushed forward, they could easily tear the Dragon Tooth Soldiers to pieces in just a few seconds.
However, the scene after they died in battle was a little special. Not much blood was leaking. They were like some undead. Their bodies quickly turned into white bone powder and then disappeared on the spot.
In Levi's opinion, their actual combat power is probably not as good as that of the level 3 War Lizardmen. No wonder even with the combination of two powerful men, Alduin and Nar, they can only barely defend this passage to the Underdark instead of completely eliminating the War Lizardmen.
It’s really because their strength is too weak, far from what is said in the legend.
But Levi thought again, if the Dragonfang Soldiers were really so weak, they would not have been noticed by the gods. The problem was most likely with Alduin.
The legendary Dragonfang Soldiers are made from the teeth of giant dragons. Could it be that these useless Dragonfang Soldiers are made from Alduin's own teeth?
At this time, more and more war lizardmen emerged. They did not seem to be afraid or retreat because of the easy death of their companions. Instead, they seemed to be stimulated by the strong smell of blood on the battlefield, which aroused some hidden ferocity.
They began to charge towards their own melee troops one after another, and then died in front of them one after another.
Seeing that the proportion of hammerers among the enemies began to increase rapidly, and piercers using javelins began to appear one after another, Levi knew that these should be the main force of the war lizardmen.
After thinking about it, he sent Donna and her pets and many celestial creatures out to kill the enemy, and asked Donna to take Julia, Lisa Dilan, Avalon and other elite troops to snipe the Piercer.
The tree elves and huntresses joined the battle from the flanks. They were all very agile and in this situation, as long as they were not threatened by the enemy's long-range forces, they could still exert a high level of combat effectiveness.
As for the other professional archers, he did not let them take action for the time being.
For a long time, due to the excessive strength of the long-range troops led by Donna, it has been difficult for the melee troops to accumulate experience points or advance. Excluding Cindy, the others such as Simon, Zhou Miyin and Bayoru were able to advance due to various unexpected factors.
Now that we finally have this seemingly peaceful opportunity to gain experience points, we should give it to the melee troops.
Donna and the others had no objection, because for ranged troops, unless the melee troops protecting them had been defeated, or were directly attacked by the enemy's air force, they were generally safe and had plenty of opportunities to gain experience points, so there was no need to fight for it.
Then Cindy immediately raised her hand, indicating that she could give up temporarily.
She was very self-aware. Even if she didn't summon the two guardian angels, the output of her two psychic hammers alone would be far greater than that of ordinary troops.
But Levi disagreed. Having one more ordinary level 4 infantryman would make almost no difference on a large-scale battlefield. But if Cindy could advance to level 6 as soon as possible, it would be different.
In fact, up to now, although it is still a level 5 troop, ordinary hero units are no longer enough for her to defeat.
Apart from anything else, even if Leonidas and Xiaotian were to come together, it would probably not be enough for her to warm up when she was firing on all cylinders.
Factors such as level, equipment, attributes, skills, talents, combat skills and awareness may affect how much strength can be exerted on the battlefield.
Now it seems that Cindy has almost all the advantages in these aspects.
Cindy chuckled and stopped refusing immediately. She picked up the warhammer and rushed to the battlefield. She really wanted to become stronger, because only when she became stronger would she have a greater hope of taking revenge with her own hands.
Their heated discussion made Nar next to them speechless. They were clearly on a dangerous battlefield and the enemies were brutal lizardmen, but how come in your mouths, they were just like some harmless little lambs, waiting to be slaughtered at your will?
But there was one thing she had to admit, that following these temporary teammates whose confidence and strength were overflowing, she really felt a lot safer. It had been a long time since she had been able to cast spells in the rear so comfortably.
Noticing this, Elegy, who had been secretly keeping an eye on her, couldn't help but chuckle. Although the target had deviated a little, it seemed that Levi's strategy was indeed effective. Maybe this time he could not only recruit a bronze dragonborn paladin, but also a high-level druid!
So they killed at least five or six hundred war lizardmen in a row. Levi roughly estimated that after the battle, seven or eight melee troops would be able to advance.
In addition to ordinary Lizardmen and Hammerers, some more powerful Level 4 War Lizardmen warriors also appeared later.
Their equipment is better and their overall strength is stronger, and they are already capable enough to threaten the level 3 Silver Guards.
It’s just a pity that if they were to fight against the Level 4 Silver Guards, or if Levi cast some auxiliary magic on the Silver Guards, they would still be beaten.
On the other hand, Alduin seemed to be at ease. No matter the level of the enemy, it seemed to make no difference to him, it was just a matter of one more sword or one less sword.
Levi also discovered that his shield could not only be used for defense, but also for offense. When he used his skills, he could often directly knock the opponent into a semi-stunned state.
In a battle full of dangers, this state is too deadly. Once hit, they will not survive for more than 5 seconds.
But these war lizardmen are really a bit stupid. They know they can't win, but they still line up to die. What's the difference between this and the story of Calabash Brothers saving his grandfather?
Although the War Lizardmen may be the dumbest of all lizardmen, the beast also knows to fear death. It is precisely this race, which has some intelligence but not high wisdom, that may fall into this inexplicable vortex of death.
Wait, Levi suddenly realized something, looked up at the abyss crack in the distant sky, and he felt that this might not be inexplicable.
Even though it's far away, this place may still be affected by the demons' sacrificial rituals. Although Nar has sealed this place, it's connected to the Underdark below, and there are definitely more than one or two exits there!
Demons are lunatics from the chaotic evil camp, but ordinary black dragons and lizardmen are also all chaotic evil. Since lizardmen may succumb to the power of black dragons, they are naturally just as likely to succumb to demons!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly perform a storage method on Xiao Qi.
According to what Nar said before, there are about a thousand people in this tribe of war lizardmen, and five or six hundred of them have been killed or injured. This should be about 80% to 90% of the elite members of their tribe. At this rate, they will all be dead in less than a quarter of an hour.
It's not a question of stupidity anymore, it's more like madness.
Regardless of whether the other party has a conspiracy or what kind of conspiracy it is, the time will surely come soon.
Thinking of this, Levi took out the silver magic circle from the space ring and handed it to the priests behind him.
The priests of the Moonbow Temple were indeed unable to make a decision on whether they could be sold to Caijin, but they had no hesitation in selling them to Levi, as they could come in handy now.
Noticing his actions, without any communication, Donna and the others had already become alert, as it was clear that a demon might appear to cause trouble next!
At this moment, Nar suddenly approached with a serious expression: "Levi, something is wrong."
"Oh? You found out too?"
Looking at Levi who was still calm, Nar was stunned for a moment, but she continued: "That's right, the lizardmen would never be so fanatical in battle before. They would retreat immediately if they suffered any casualties."
If not for that, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for such a long time with the assistance of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
"And so far, I haven't seen any troglodyte spell-chanters or any dragon beasts, which is really not normal."
Huh? It seems like we are not concerned about the same thing...
However, he just nodded slightly and directly stated his guess: "I suspect they may have been bewitched by the devil."
"Demon? But that shouldn't be the case. I clearly..."
Halfway through her words, Nar was stunned again, because she remembered that the area below was the Underdark, so there would naturally not be only one exit!
She suddenly became a little anxious. In the main world, anything related to demons was never a trivial matter!
"So what do we do now?"
"Please be patient and wait and see what happens. Also, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? Maybe we can prepare them first."
Although it may not be her turn to play, it is always better to be prepared.
But Na was suddenly embarrassed, because when fighting against these war lizardmen or possible demons, she really had nothing to show for it, as the natural element was too severely restrained by the fire element.
"I also know the Arrow Explosion Technique, which can break wooden arrows and javelins into pieces. I also have the Vitality Tide, which can stimulate a seed or a small tree to grow into a tree guard in a very short time. The strength of the tree guard varies slightly depending on the species."
Levi immediately looked at her with admiration, although it might be of no use at the moment, because the lizardmen were all poor guys. They didn't even have bows and arrows, and the weapons they used were all made of stone and bone.
But if you are fighting with other intelligent races, unless the opponent's arrows are made of all-metal, the protective effect of the Arrow Explosion Technique will be too strong.
As for the second trick, it is really useless here because this area is full of lush grass and there is not even a single tree.
But speaking of seeds...
Although he felt a little regretful in his heart, Levi did not hesitate at all and directly threw two ancient guardian seeds over.
Each one is worth 15 gold coins. I hope you and Alduin will not let me down in the future!
Nar didn't take it too seriously at first, but after a careful inspection, her expression changed slightly. As a druid specializing in nature, she would naturally know the value of it.
Although she hoped to get help from the other party, such help was too expensive, so expensive that her entire fortune was not worth these two seeds!
She opened her mouth, but in the end she was unable to say anything, because accompanied by a slightly shrill roar, more than a dozen monsters that were on all fours, five or six meters long, and resembled giant lizards, crawled out of the passage.
One of the monsters was covered with spikes like a hedgehog, while the other had a huge, open mouth filled with densely packed sharp teeth that looked like enlarged steel needles.
Their appearance looks very strange and terrifying, and their bloodshot vertical pupils fully demonstrate their bloodthirstiness and cruelty.
Alduin, who was originally very satisfied with the death of many Lizardmen, suddenly became serious.
He could defeat one dragon beast relatively easily, but two dragon beasts were very difficult for him. Now so many dragon beasts appeared together. If Levi hadn't suddenly visited, he and Nar would probably have only two choices: either escape or die here in battle!
Nar behind him also became a little nervous: "Levi, be careful, it's a Spiked Dragon Beast and a Needle-fanged Dragon Beast, they are both level 5 enemies, one can release the spikes on its body for close-range attacks, and the other has extremely high armor-piercing and bleeding effects when using gnawing attacks. There have never been so many of them at once before!"
She felt that things were becoming increasingly out of control. It was one thing for the War Lizardmen to suddenly become fanatical and fearless of death, but if they had been able to bring out so many dragon beasts at once, they would have been unable to stop them even at the risk of their lives!
"Okay, I understand."
In fact, the moment the other party appeared, Levi had already quickly cast many auxiliary magic spells.
The 5th-level troops were already worthy of his attention, and the two names were quite descriptive, so there was absolutely no need to worry about confusing them.
At the same time, he also gave orders to the priests behind him, asking them to act according to the plan. Although they had not yet waited for the War Lizardmen Curse-singers and the Evil Dragonspawn, it was almost time now.
Then he gave Donna a look, indicating that she could take action. Otherwise, if the two dragon beasts were allowed to attack, their troops would easily suffer casualties.
With the bonus, the 3rd-tier troops may be able to defeat the 4th-tier troops, but if they are fighting against the 5th-tier troops, there is a possibility of casualties. The higher you go, the greater the gap between the levels.
Donna immediately laughed and ordered a volley of arrows. What could a 5th-level dragon beast do today? Could it withstand hundreds of arrows?
Levi also let out a low shout, and used spider web magic and ice storm one after another, forcibly controlling the remaining dragon beasts.
Even if the Spiked Drakes can use their spikes as arrows, can they compare to real bows and arrows? Before they become a real threat, they will become corpses first!
So, while Nar was stunned, those enemies that she feared so much were completely killed before they could actually cause casualties to her side.
All of the drakes had more spikes on their bodies, but this time they were arrows that penetrated deeply into their flesh, creating countless wounds.
Those who were targeted by Donna personally didn't even have time to scream before they turned into corpses.
She knew that the troops brought by the other side were strong, but she never expected them to be so strong!
"Levi, this time it's really thanks to you. If it weren't for your help, I think Alduin and I would have..."
Before she finished her words, several figures wrapped in black robes flew out of the passage, laughing: "How can a mere bronze dragonborn and druids..."
Before he finished speaking, the mysterious man was a little stuck, because the gap between what he saw and what he had imagined was too great.
It knew that the guards on the other side of the passage were quite powerful, so it used magic to disrupt the brains of those idiots at all costs, forcing them to come over and die.
But it never expected that there would be so many unexpected enemies here.
It had clearly confirmed last night that only those two guys here were considered powerful?
And how come all those dragon beasts that it had summoned through a sacrificial ritual died all at once?
"How...how is it possible?"
Both Alduin and Nar became alert instantly, knowing that these black-robed men whom they had never seen before were probably the culprits behind this incident.
Levi laughed instead, because he was no stranger to these guys. He had killed their kind more than once. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party were some ugly but extremely vain fly demons.
To some who are familiar with them, their weaknesses, both in ability and character, are all too obvious.
So he secretly gave orders to Xiao Qi, who had already lurked on the other side, while trying to delay a little time.
"In comparison, I am more curious about why you dare not reveal your true appearance. Is it possible that you are really ugly?"
