Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 248: Fighting the Undead Legion (Part 1)
Not only did the vampire Dais fall silent instantly, but even the vampire hunter who was originally planning to light a second cigarette was a little stunned.
Although she had heard of the pride and arrogance of the elves, she had never thought that they could actually say such words. It even made her heart, which had long stopped beating, seem to twitch faintly.
As a race that is widely distributed, numerous, and not lacking in wisdom and power, the lack of souls and gods has always been the greatest regret and pain for vampires.
Now that the other party had pointed this out openly, it was not only an unspeakable pain for Dais, but all other vampires, except for heretics like himself, would probably be furious, right?
She suddenly became interested. If she could have an elf like this as a fellow elf or a partner, it would probably be very interesting to get along with it, right?
Everyone, including Levi, stared at the vampire Dais without blinking, wanting to know what the other party would do next, because that might very well affect the outcome of the battle.
After all, the enemy's military strength is indeed too large. If they can kill this vampire first, the rest of the undead will surely weaken rapidly, and the following battle will be much easier.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed. After a brief silence, the vampire Dais did not explode on the spot. Instead, he looked at them with ridicule.
"Elf, I have to admit that your tongue is as deadly as the tip of my sword, but your stupidity also makes me laugh, because we vampires are welcoming our own god, and then all the living will crawl at our feet!"
Levi felt a little regretful that the other party did not fall into his trap in the end, but he could also understand it. After all, he was ordered to carry out conspiracy in the Underdark and had accumulated so many troops, so it was obviously unlikely that he was a real fool.
After hearing each other's words, Donna, Elegy, Cindy, as well as Nar, Alduin and others, all became attentive, because they all knew that a major mystery might be revealed next.
That is the vampire who is trying to become a god in the legend. Who is he?
Unfortunately, they were all going to be disappointed. Before they could make any response, the vampire Dais had already raised his blood-red sword high up: "All troops, attack, and defeat these pathetic survivors!"
Following his orders, the bloodthirsty sky demons and descendants of the evil dragon took off into the air one after another, and their movements were unexpectedly agile.
Levi was a little scared when seeing this scene. He originally thought that these descendants of the evil dragon were malnourished or weak, so they were much thinner than the previous one.
But now it seems that they may have done this on purpose in order to enhance their flying ability!
But it is not known whether it is because they are more cautious in nature, or they want to carry out special tactics, or simply because the low cave ceiling limits their flying ability. In any case, the vampire Dais did not order them to pounce directly at the first time, but began to detour to the side.
But this would pose a greater threat to Levi and his team, and they would need to be careful and guard against the enemy's air raids at all times.
Then a large number of graveyard guards began to march forward in orderly steps.
Compared with most races, low- and middle-level undead do lack intelligence, but their advantage is that they are under the unified command of high-level vampires or undead wizards. Therefore, they are truly disciplined and well-organized, and I am afraid that even humans or dwarves cannot match their discipline.
Then hundreds of vampire warriors cast magic, summoning thousands of low-level animals such as bats and mice.
Although they are extremely weak, they may be able to play a role in the chaos on a large-scale battlefield, and they can also attract the enemy's attention, which is the vampires' favorite fighting method.
From the passages on both sides that Levi was guarding against, there were also bursts of strange roars and hisses. First, at least five or six hundred zombies and tomb ghosts rushed out from the left side.
Then almost the same number of ghosts floated out from the right side. Most of them looked similar to those killed by Levi and his men not long ago, but at least hundreds of them were different.
Ordinary ghosts basically use their own energy claws as weapons, but these ghosts not only have darker body color, they also all hold sickles that emit a faint blue light in their hands, and their lethality is obviously incomparable.
They are a rare type of soldier - Stonecairn Wraiths, ranging from level 3 to level 4, and are considered to be a relatively strong type of soldier among ghosts.
After seeing the enemy's entire force, both Alduin and Nar couldn't help but become a little nervous, because the enemy was not only numerous, but also quite powerful.
But everyone including Donna, Cindy and Lisa Dylan were less worried about this because they all knew their own strength and they felt more sincere admiration and respect for Levi.
If he had not discovered the clues early on, it is not impossible that when his side was in a head-on battle with the vampires, and these enemy troops rushed over from both sides, his side would be directly hit hard. Those ghosts and stone tomb spirits posed too great a threat to his side's long-range troops.
But now, after we have been prepared, although they are still a big threat, they are no longer fatal.
Similarly, Levi was not afraid. Although the enemies were numerous, most of them were weak. Not to mention, it was not certain whether those zombies and ordinary grave guards could break through the defense of the silver guards in the front row.
Apart from the two vampire heroes, the only ones we really need to be wary of are the enemy's flying troops!
"Janet, you are still in charge of the druids. The ice and frost elements are also in your hands. You should mainly defend against those ghosts."
"Xiaotian, take the Legion Yakong to assist Janet."
"Naer, the priests still have to trouble you."
"The huntresses and dryads should act according to circumstances and try to keep a safe distance from the enemy."
"Cindy, take your two angels and move freely. Besides, you know what to do and when."
Levi winked at the big loli.
Cindy's secondary alien alliance has a limit on the number of alien creatures that can be summoned at the same time. Originally, there were 6 places available, but she used all of the 4 pieces of equipment and 2 guardian angels she had.
But after advancing to the 6th-level troop, she had one more spot.
When the main force was resting, she quietly used a summon, and then got a chance to summon again.
Yes, only once, because compared to the guardian angel and so on, the opponent is much more powerful, so the requirements are inevitably higher.
Before, he was happy about Cindy's good luck, but now it seems that it is not good luck at all. The more likely possibility is that the god she believes in has sensed the danger of this trip to the Underdark, so he gave it to her for self-defense!
Although he had never really dealt with that god, Levi had to sigh again that the boss was really open-minded and he was really good to Cindy!
Cindy chuckled. She knew that the strongest moves should be reserved for the strongest enemies or the greatest crises.
"As for the rest of you, you know what you should do."
"Haha, of course!" "Okay, Brother Levi!" "Leave it to me!" "Yes, sir!"
As a series of orders were issued, Levi also received more responses. By now, his subordinates had already accumulated considerable experience, and in many aspects, there was no need for him to emphasize them specifically; they knew what to do.
Especially Donna, who was the first to follow him, had already been able to act on her own, so almost at the moment he gave the order, she gave a delicate shout and led the troops to launch a wave of deadly arrows.
As smart as she is, she certainly understands that if she wants to win this battle beautifully, the ranged troops need to cause as much damage as possible.
As the rain of arrows fell, dozens of graveyard guards were killed instantly, and a gap of moderate size appeared in the originally neat formation.
But the vampire Dais didn't even say a word, and directly ordered the troops in the rear to fill in the gap.
The undead may have many weaknesses, but they also have many advantages.
Unaffected by morale, 100% execution of orders, easy to manufacture, whether it is a skeleton, corpse or soul, it can be transformed into a usable soldier, and most importantly, it has an absolute advantage in numbers!
Levi also took action immediately afterwards, fighting against the undead in this special environment, making his magic such as ice storm and stinking cloud ineffective.
But fortunately, he has confirmed that the rocks in this space are extremely stable, and his most powerful micrometeor can finally be used!
With two loud bangs, the graveyard guards at the landing point were instantly killed, and more than forty graveyard guards around were all seriously injured. A considerable number of graveyard guards were put into a burning state and continued to suffer damage every second.
There was no other way, because the Undead were naturally restrained by fire , and they were so densely packed together, making them the perfect target!
Seeing such power, the vampire Dais' eyelids couldn't help but twitch. This was a powerful attack that he could not ignore.
After thinking about it, he directly gave the order, letting the descendants of the evil dragon and the bloodthirsty sky demons launch an attack. Apart from those disgusting but weak Legion Sub-airs, the other side didn't seem to have any air force, which was just right for him to implement a decapitation tactic!
At this time, groups of ghosts also flew into the air first. They were originally ferocious and ugly, and now they were densely packed together, looking even more terrifying.
But Janet was not afraid at all. She imitated Donna, shouted softly, and commanded the druids and ice elements to launch a volley of attacks.
Numerous lightning arrows and ice arrows flew over together, instantly killing a small group of ghosts. While possessing strong physical resistance, the ghosts' weakness was also particularly obvious, which was that they were afraid of almost all magic.
Just as Janet was feeling a little overjoyed and was about to transform into a fire element to attack with them, she was very surprised to find that among the many ghosts, there was a guy who was dressed particularly fancy, with at least five or six pieces of equipment emitting magical light.
Due to the large number of ghosts, no one had noticed this before, but her attack happened to expose the opponent, and the two sides looked at each other with their eyes wide open!
"Fuck, fuck me!"
This particular ghost cursed out loud, then tried to shrink back behind his companions.
But Janet has followed Levi for a long time. His special appearance, coupled with these words, made her confirm his identity. He is a hero chosen by God!
She immediately began to call for support: "Cindy, I found a God-chosen hero among those ghosts!"
"Here I come!"
Cindy, who had been prepared for a long time, fired a Sigma Comet with her left and a Spear of Pure Good with her right. At the same time, three hammers filled with flames also floated over.
Now she was not afraid of these war hammers being seen by the other party, because even if they were seen, it would not matter. The positive energy emanating from the war hammers would make the ghosts avoid them even if they had not actually hit them!
After trying to defend, the magic shield was shattered in the blink of an eye, and the Ghost Chosen Hero immediately floated further back.
The surprise attack failed and the enemy was too restrained, so there was naturally no need to continue fighting. Anyway, our side had an absolute advantage in military strength and there was no need to take risks.
What's more, the reward promised by Dais is not high enough to be worth sacrificing his life!
It's just a pity that I can't seem to get revenge right away...
The two guardian angels and many celestial creatures led by Xiaotian also rushed forward. Although the number of enemies was nearly ten times that of theirs, in order to protect the archers and mage troops behind them, they naturally had no reason to be afraid or retreat.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the two sides were fighting each other, and relying on the absolute advantage in average strength, they quickly gained the upper hand.
Because the ghost hero not only ran far away himself, but after seeing Cindy's strength, he also took away a large number of stone tomb ghosts at the first opportunity.
In this way, ordinary ghosts were no match for Cindy and the others. They began to melt rapidly like snow under the sun. Only the death energy crystals that fell from time to time represented that they had existed.
Levi took a look and felt that the other party's voice was somewhat familiar. Thinking about it carefully, the other party might be the guy who was killed by him several times in Silent Manor?
When he teamed up with a skeleton and a vampire God's Chosen Hero, he seemed stupid. Facing his own magic, he just kept running away.
Later, Silent Manor was occupied by the guild and he disappeared. I didn't expect to meet him here again.
Now it seems that after separating from the other two guys, he has obviously made considerable progress in both strength and wisdom.
Well, I can't make a decision so quickly. There are nearly two thousand undead here, and there are hundreds of vampires. Who knows if the vampire god-chosen hero is hiding among them? That guy looked the most cunning before.
After secretly raising his vigilance, Levi soon had no time to think about it anymore, because the enemy's melee troops directly ignored the illusions created by the illusion priests and went straight to the Silver Guards, and soon collided heavily with each other.
He immediately looked over with a little nervousness.
Although he had made certain preparations before the war officially started, the premise of all that was that his side could really withstand the enemies pouring in from three directions, and the pressure on the melee troops would be particularly great.
After a few breaths, he temporarily put aside his worries in this regard.
I don’t know if it’s because all the battle attributes have been added to the leadership aspect, or because a large number of elite units such as captains and warlords are used to command.
In short, these graveyard guards basically have no bonuses in terms of battle attributes. The threat they bring to melee troops cannot be said to be completely non-existent, but it can be said to be negligible.
Only a very small number of tomb evil ghosts may have advanced, or they may have undergone special mutations like the big bats and ghosts before, so their strength attributes are relatively high, making some silver light guards a little uncomfortable, but it is also within the tolerable range.
After all, they are never fighting alone. With the priests in the rear, even if they get injured occasionally, they will be healed quickly.
On the contrary, their counterattack was extremely powerful. With many bonuses, their attack power was already far superior to ordinary soldiers of the same level. After using holy water, their restraint on the undead became even more obvious.
After heaving a sigh of relief, he began to cooperate with Xiao Qi, continuously casting spider web magic. They had only one target, and that was those vampire warriors.
They are agile, intelligent, and proficient in both magic and martial arts. Although their abilities in all aspects are not particularly outstanding, they are quite versatile. Once they are allowed to rush into the formation of long-range troops, they will actually be very difficult enemies for their side.
Because they are vampires, they are best at war of attrition. If you can't kill them with one blow, they will cling to you like taffy.
Even for the sake of safety, Levi placed a lot of Tritons that could attack at both long and short range in the long-range troops, but their attack power was not strong enough to quickly destroy the enemy.
But now Levi's spider web technique is the nemesis of the vampire warriors, and their strength is not enough to get rid of it.
Donna also took the opportunity to launch several waves of volleys, so in almost the blink of an eye, before they could show much effect, nearly two hundred of these vampire warriors were killed.
Seeing this situation, Dess became furious again, because he always believed that for vampires, only their own kind were the most valuable to cultivate, and the other undead were just consumables.
But the war has just begun, and not many cannon fodder have died, but more than half of their own people have been lost!
"Damned elf, I'm going to make you pay for what you've done!"
Cursing viciously, he began to try to make all the vampires retreat and instead use magic to assist.
In addition to the lowest-level summoning magic, most vampires can also use some minor magic such as despair gaze, negative energy rays, corrosive claws, hypnosis, and awakening skeletons and zombies.
Now these elite vampires specially selected by him are the best among them and can naturally use magic.
Then he gave orders to the descendants of the evil dragon who had been wandering around the periphery of the battlefield. After that, he turned to look at the vampire hunter who had been daydreaming, as if he was thinking about something, but was actually just being lazy.
"Lucia, you come too, kill that cursed elf for me!"
The vampire hunter named Lucia seemed to have just come to her senses. After wiping the non-existent saliva from the corner of her mouth, she revealed a very embarrassed look.
"But that guy doesn't look easy to deal with. He's very powerful, and there are so many celestial beings guarding him. If I go there rashly, it would be quite dangerous..."
As she spoke, she rubbed her fingers together, making a movement that Dai Si was very familiar with when he was a human.
He couldn't help but snort coldly. Should he say that she was worthy of being hired by her own people to hunt down the hostile Night Nobles just for money? What a waste of her once glorious family name and bloodline!
"Don't worry, as long as the mission is successful, I will definitely pay you back."
Of course, the prerequisite is that you are still alive to get it and still alive to spend it!
However, he felt a little more relaxed. Since she dared to mention money, it meant that at least for now, she was still willing to work for him sincerely. Perhaps he could take advantage of her a little.
Lucia immediately picked up the musket and sword with a smile, and rushed out at a trot. At the same time, she couldn't help but complain again: That old guy who wanted to become a god found such a fool to work for him?
Even if he hadn't constantly tried to sabotage and hinder others, could his plan really succeed?
However, the elf's army was unexpectedly strong. Maybe when I let off steam later, I could act very realistically...
