Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 254: Blood Glory
As soon as they entered the village, Levi went straight to the meeting room, while Zhou Miyin and others, led by the Shadow of Silence, went to the warehouse. The good thing about having an insider is that you know which place is the most valuable.
The others split up and began to formally check the village inch by inch to see if there were any other undead people.
Although Lucia had made a surprise counterattack, Levi felt that she might not simply want to massacre the undead here. She was more likely to want something that Dais left in the village, so he still couldn't be careless.
In just two minutes, Levi had successfully occupied the small village called Blood Glory.
Levi took a quick look and found that this village was somewhat different from the Silent Manor or Bitao Village.
In addition to regular buildings, this village also has a cemetery for recruiting low-level undead soldiers such as skeletons and zombies, bone piles, braziers, and gallows to strengthen the power of death, a sacrificial abyss for sacrificing living people and then pulling out ghosts, and an evil temple that transforms the living into undead, etc.
The existence of these buildings would affect the morale of the troops composed of the living, and they were of low value, so Levi ordered them to be demolished first and directly exchanged for resources.
However, a thrilling grove for recruiting level 0-1 ferocious bats and dire wolves, as well as a crystal pool for absorbing and transforming negative energy, can be retained.
The ferocious bats are very useful as cannon fodder air force, because you won't feel bad even if they all die. If they can interfere with the enemy's archers, mages and other long-range troops, then you win.
Dire wolves had never appeared in Dais's army before, but they could be considered a kind of high-speed cannon fodder. They could still play a role in attacking enemy ranged troops or harassing some weaker cavalry units.
The key point is that these two types of soldiers are not undead, they are ordinary beasts from the neutral camp and have no effect on morale.
Although Levi has no use for the negative energy crystals, he can sell them for money, which is a very stable source of income. Naturally, there is no need to dismantle them.
Next is the desolate graveyard where you can recruit desolate graveyard warriors. Levi is a little hesitant.
As a Tier 3 soldier, the Graveyard Warriors have always been the backbone of the Undead Tribe. Their strength is relatively outstanding among those of the same tier. The village can recruit two types of them, one wielding a sword and shield, and one wielding a two-handed greatsword. To be honest, it would be a waste if they were dismantled directly.
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to keep it for now. There are more than just the Sun Knights in the evil camp in the guild. There are also a few people who have chosen the Undead. He can give them some first. The same goes for the Dragon Tooth Soldiers and others.
While winning people's hearts and strengthening the opponent's fighting power, he can also make a little money.
Well, in that case, should we ask the Sun Knight to only send the chosen heroes from the evil camp this time?
The more Levi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Coincidentally, according to Lucia's map, there was a small evil force composed of grimlocks nearby. He could just kill them and let other chosen heroes occupy that village and help this village.
In this way, Silent Shadow also has a place to go. If he is really taken with him to find the Sun Knight, it will be somewhat inconvenient on the road.
As for the death energy emitted from the desolate tombs and crystal pools, the worst that could happen is to leave a few more priests and have them do nothing but perform purification around the desolate tombs every day.
Leave a silver magic circle. It was originally used to deal with demons, but now it is definitely more effective for ordinary purification.
He just couldn't believe that with so many methods, he couldn't deal with that little bit of death energy?
It’s a pity that there is no vampire recruitment building in the village, that thing is really valuable.
According to the Silent Shadow, Dais's vampire troops were either regularly transferred from other vampire villages and towns in the Underdark, or he took the initiative to capture some humanoid races such as humans and elves, and then transformed them using the Blood Kiss in the Evil Temple.
At the same time, because it has been occupied by the undead for a long time, there are some filth and death power here that need to be purified, but it is not as serious as the Silent Manor. It is estimated that it will be almost done in three or two days.
He also planted a red flag upside down behind the tavern. Lotus of the Red Brotherhood had once proudly said that as long as they did this, their Red Brotherhood would be able to receive intelligence and send out personnel.
Now he wanted to see whether Lotus was bragging or not, and whether their influence could cover the Underdark.
Zhou Miyin also successfully occupied the warehouse and came back to report to him, saying that in addition to some corpses probably used to transform the undead, there were also a large number of stones, wood, negative energy crystals, gold coins and other valuables, as well as fifty sets of equipment for grave guards, which were of considerable value.
Next, a small treasure chest was opened, which contained some low-level green-quality equipment, dozens of low-level dark attribute magic, as well as 3 intermediate troop advancement orders and 1 intermediate elite token.
One of them can immediately promote ordinary soldiers of level 0-4 to level 1, and the other can promote soldiers of level 0-5 to elite soldiers, which are very useful.
I just don’t know what other things were originally in it, but Levi felt that it was basically certain that they were taken away by Lucia, so it didn’t matter.
She provided so much information, so it was only right that she should receive a portion of the reward. Moreover, before they arrived, these spoils theoretically belonged to her.
After a little consideration, Levi used them all on the night elves, creating several team leaders for the huntresses, druids, and dryads respectively. The elite token was used on the huntress who was the most advanced and performed the best.
Although they are all still under his command at present, in the long run, it is necessary to select a heroic unit from among the night elves.
The Huntress did not disappoint Levi. After becoming an elite unit, the number of bounces of her Moon Blade directly increased to 4 times, and the third and fourth bounces were calculated based on 33% of the attack power.
Next, the maximum range of her Moon Blades and the maximum number she could carry at the same time were both doubled.
This was originally the most regrettable thing about ordinary female hunters. Their attack distance was only about 20 meters, and they could carry less than 20 moon blades at a time. They had to replenish supplies immediately after almost every fight.
But now this female hunter who calls herself Luna has made up for both of these aspects. If she has to deal with a group of big bats next time, I'm afraid she can easily kill hundreds of them by herself.
Even her mount is still an ordinary little leopard, which is no longer suitable for her now. Levi is considering whether to spend some military merit points to prepare a new mount for her from Ashridge Town or Black Castle.
Levi first encouraged Luna with a few words, and then promised her that if there was a chance, he would recruit more female hunters to join her.
In fact, it's not just the huntresses, he also wants to recruit more other types of night elf soldiers.
The night elves are best known for their innate abilities, night vision and shadowmeld. These two features are not very obvious on the surface.
But in the Underdark, besides the drow elves, which other elves have more advantages than them?
The huntress was naturally full of gratitude, and hurriedly assured Levi that she would do her best to do better.
At this time, Donna and others also came to report, saying that they had conducted a thorough investigation and found that there were indeed some remaining undead in the village, but they had now been killed by them.
Another thing she wanted to report was about the prisoners.
They found about two hundred slaves in the cell, most of them were humans and elves, with a few dwarves occasionally mixed in. It was said that Des originally planned to keep them as blood slaves.
Vampires, as the name suggests, need to feed on blood. If they do not drink blood for a long time, they may become weak and their various abilities will be affected.
Vampires of different identities and strengths have certain requirements for blood. Some guys who claim to be nobles prefer pure girls.
Some of those who have fallen on hard times may not be so picky. Some will swallow the blood of wild beasts in the wild, or simply go to the cemetery to suck the blood of the dead.
It is said that if this behavior continues for a long time, it will in turn have a certain impact on the appearance and abilities of the vampires.
After hearing this report, Levi was greatly surprised. He originally thought that he would have to wait until tomorrow and call people from Silent Manor or Stump to carry out large-scale transformation of the village, but now it seems that he might be able to start work ahead of schedule.
He immediately went to check it out in person, and then he was very disappointed to find that these guys were just ordinary villagers.
Among them there were occasionally a few people working in life professions such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and hunters, but there was not a single person who could be a warrior. I don't know if they had been dealt with by the vampires in advance.
Nevertheless, they can play a significant role in this situation.
After distributing a large amount of food, water and other supplies, he spoke frankly and expressed his intention to recruit the other party to build the village together.
So after a few minutes, most of them chose to join the village.
Putting aside the life-saving grace, they knew that they were now in a dark area. Even if they were allowed to leave, they might .
A few dwarves were somewhat reluctant, because their hometown was not far from here. They were all dwarves from the Helhain clan that occupied the Gray Woman Mountain.
But they were also willing to work for Levi temporarily for a while to repay his kindness.
Levi naturally wouldn't force it. In fact, he planned to use these dwarves as a lure to get in touch with Gray Mountain.
So everyone started to work together, first lighting some torches, and then building a portal for the celestial creatures to come and assist in the defense as soon as possible.
Although there are some luminous mosses and fluorescent stones here, and Levi's Holy Light Sub-kongs act as big light bulbs, this is not enough for them, the surface creatures.
Soon everyone started working enthusiastically. During their time as slaves, many people were taken away by vampires almost every day and never came back. They were fed up with that kind of life of fear. Now that Levi saved their lives, it was only natural for them to do some work!
Levi also summoned many celestial creatures to work together to patrol and defend.
In the current dark area, they are probably the most conspicuous here, so we really have to be on guard.
Seeing that Levi handled everything in an orderly manner and everything was starting to get on track, Alduin and Nar, who had been watching silently but unable to help, both came over.
Without any polite words, Alduin asked directly: "Levi, if you plan to develop here for a long time to fight against evil and go out to fight the greenskins of the Red Cloud Tribe, I'm afraid your current strength is not enough, right?"
Levi immediately understood what the other party meant. The two of them were not sure yet that they could call for reinforcements from multiple directions. If things went well, he might even be able to seize an opportunity with the Moonbow Temple and let them bring a large number of night elves to the Underdark to build temples and churches. In that case, the defense of the village would not be a problem.
Without knowing the inside story, they believed that if the current few hundred people were divided up again, it would certainly not be enough.
If we really encounter foreign enemies, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to fill the city walls.
But he didn't explain immediately: "So what do you mean?"
Naer immediately smiled and said, "How about I stay here and help you defend the village while suppressing the surrounding evil forces?"
"Although the Ancient Guardian is slow in action, it is still very qualified as a village guard. I can also ask the Harpers for help. I'm sure there will be many people willing to come here to fight against evil."
Levi immediately smiled and said, "It would be great if I could have your help!"
He had been thinking about who to let stay, and he even thought about using the Spirit of Heroes directly to select an elite from the Silver Guard or Avalon and promote him to a heroic unit.
But now that Nar had taken the initiative to bring this up, it directly solved part of his problem.
In terms of both ability and wisdom, she is definitely much stronger than ordinary heroes promoted by using the spirit of heroes.
Alduin next to him also opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. Levi immediately understood that he must also want to stay with Nar, but he was embarrassed to speak because he had promised him to go to the Beastmaster Castle.
But Levi could speak. He directly asked about his wishes and told Alduin not to think too much and just follow his heart. All matters concerning the Beastmaster Castle should be left to him.
As expected, Alduin agreed readily and decided to continue working with Nar.
He is a bronze dragonborn and has night vision, which makes him very suitable for fighting in this kind of environment, so everyone is happy for a while.
As for who would resist the green-skinned orc warrior at the Beastmaster Castle without Alduin, Levi was not particularly worried.
As a high elf, could it be that they could not fight this battle because they could not get the help of Alduin? How is that possible!
Given the High Elves' usual pride, they certainly would not reject reinforcements from the outside world, but they would never place all their hopes on outsiders, as that would be too foolish.
Early the next morning, after Levi read the game update information, he immediately entered the game.
From now on, sea elves, winged elves, night elves, sahuagin, bugbears, etc. can all be selected as initial races.
Now Levi has figured out the pattern. Maybe once the players have in-depth contact with them, those races that were originally not selectable will soon be truly unlocked?
But in this case, for those who have joined early, there will inevitably be some regrets.
For example, if someone who originally chose the green skin sees that a new Shahua murloc has appeared, if he wants to change his race, he often needs the intervention of a true god.
Or he could simply choose to reincarnate, but in that case, his level, skills, reputation, legend, subordinates, villages, and many other aspects would be directly cleared out.
Perhaps other people could still find out his name and past deeds, but in the hearts of the indigenous people, he was already dead.
The only things that can be preserved are the things in the space ring and the money, which will be left as heirlooms to his new identity after reincarnation.
Although with these initial resources, his growth will be many times faster than that of an ordinary person, the cost is still very high.
After sighing a few times, he found that the environment in the village was completely different from yesterday. In addition to the priests' drastic purification of the evil forces in this place, there were also many more celestial creatures in the village.
As Levi's reputation among the celestial creatures has increased, the number of people he can recruit each week has also increased slightly.
For the second-level troops like Light Yakong and Water Yakong, 12 people can be recruited each week. For the third-level Wolf Patrol and Mastiff-headed Yakong, 10 places are available each week. For the fourth-level Tiger and Deer Horn users, 8 places are available each week.
As one moves up the social ladder, their numbers decrease.
But since there are many types, roughly speaking, Levi can recruit hundreds of defenders every week.
Especially last night, the Holy Light Akongs also joined in the fun and were willing to guard the village together. Now with the existence of these mobile light sources, it will become more difficult for the enemy to launch a sneak attack.
Simon and other troops who were originally guarding the valley outside have also successfully arrived and joined up.
Five huge ancient guardians also rose from the ground, guarding the only entrance to the village. No matter what kind of enemy invaded, they had to withstand their stone attacks first.
And that’s not all, 10 guild members from War Heaven are on the way, and the dwarf Stump has also expressed his willingness to do his part.
He had also confirmed the location of the Spartans and Zhoujiazhai. Indeed, the distance between them was not too far. It was probably only a dozen miles away from the passage leading to the surface.
If the two sides can reach a cooperation intention, without considering the enemy blocking the way, they can arrive here smoothly in less than an hour.
Even Levi was considering whether to call the old witch from the Bee Tribe over.
The Sun Knight had complained to Levi more than once, saying that she was yelling all day long that the environment of Silent Manor was not suitable for the survival of bee people. What about the Underdark where they originally lived?
The reason they fled from the Underdark in the past was entirely because the drow elves treated them as slaves, exploiting them all day long and executing some unfortunate bee people at any time.
But if I were to change to a new identity now, they would surely not refuse.
The old witch herself was in a similar situation. Since she was a drow half-blood, she had a hard time in the Underdark. When she survived on the surface, she was almost always worried about being recognized and attacked by others. After all, the reputation of the drow was not much better than that of the demons.
But if she could return to the Underdark with a new identity, would she be tempted?
Did the old witch and the bees only think about escaping and never think about taking revenge on the drow who bullied them?
So overall, Levi is still optimistic about defending this place, but he may not be able to return to the front line against the greenskins immediately, because these things take time.
At the same time, he also needs to stay in the village and be prepared to defend against attacks from nearby evil races.
Many of the evil races in the Underdark are extremely xenophobic and ambitious.
Therefore, once there are new neighbors, they are very likely to take the initiative to attack and try to occupy the place.
But at the same time, they also believe in strength, so as long as they can repel one or two waves of attacks and let the surrounding forces understand that the newcomers are not easy to deal with, then the problem will be temporarily solved.
Of course, it's only temporary. If you show weakness one day, they may invade again.
In short, in the dark land where the strong prey on the weak, if you want to stay safe, you should launch wars as frequently as possible and win.
In this way, other races will be more afraid or in awe of you, and naturally will not dare to provoke you. They may even take the initiative to show goodwill to you.
The most obvious example is the drow elves. Although they are not the earliest indigenous inhabitants of the Underdark, by now, with many cruel means, they have become the undisputed dominant race in the Underdark.
They have always been the ones to attack others, and almost no other alien race dares to provoke them.
This was what Lucia reminded him of before, and Silent Shadow had also confirmed this. It was said that when Dais arrived with a large number of vampires, they were also attacked by some gray dwarves, but after they won the battle, the gray dwarves seemed to be fine and were still willing to do business with them.
This left Dais completely confused at first, and he had no idea what was going on. It took him a long time to figure out what was going on.
After a quick inspection and finding that everything was going well, Levi called Donna, Cindy, Alduin, Nar, and many other elite subordinates together because he now had two things to say.
The first thing is to send people to the channel and return to the surface world to seek help from the Spartans, Moonbow Temple, Zhoujiazhai, Red Brotherhood and other forces on behalf of Levi.
Lotus was bragging after all. It had been a whole night and no members of the Red Brotherhood had come.
Of course, this matter is not urgent. We can wait for other chosen heroes to arrive and escort us.
The second thing is that he wants to promote a heroic unit among his subordinates.
This was his village after all. Even with Alduin and Nar guarding it, he still felt a little awkward because they were not really his own people.
After Levi explained the situation, Lisadiran, Simon, Zhou Miyin and others all expressed that they were willing to ask for help.
However, they did not have any ideas regarding the hero units, because now they all knew that it was best to try to advance to heroes after reaching the limit of their own potential, otherwise it might affect their future potential.
And this impact is almost irreversible, and they are not so short-sighted.
Anyway, from what it seems now, as long as they follow Levi's lead and work hard together, they will have the opportunity to become heroes sooner or later.
In the end, it was Donna who took the initiative to suggest that she had an elite Sky Eagle sharpshooter under her command who was quite good and could be considered.
Levi felt that Donna probably saw that he really had no other suitable candidates, so she picked out this mediocre guy from among the short ones.
It's not a big problem. The high elves are good at archery. Since the main purpose is to guard the village, naturally the long-range troops will have more opportunities to perform.
So he immediately chose to act, and after obtaining the other party's consent, within half a minute, a new hero had appeared under his command.
The new hero named Rowan was ecstatic, and at the same time, he immediately formally declared his allegiance to Levi again.
Levi took a look at his data panel and found that it was, as expected, a very ordinary blank slate with a level of 3/0. His personal combat power was slightly stronger than that of the Mastiff-Shou Yakong, but he did not have any combat attributes at all and had to start from scratch.
But no matter what, he was more than qualified to be a hero defending the city. After encouraging the other party, Levi took out a space ring and some equipment to improve his leadership, put them on him, and then he began to deploy the troops.
Currently, his main force is composed of Silver Guards and Archers, Legion Archons as the air force, Druids and Priests as auxiliary, Huntresses, Arion Cavalry, Silver Helmet Knights as supplementary, responsible for reconnaissance, guerrilla warfare, rear attack and other tasks.
Many celestial creatures have both reconnaissance and mobility capabilities, and can go wherever they are needed.
As for the MOA archers, ice elementals, frost elementals, shadow warriors, and dryads, either there are too few of them, or their combat effectiveness is not enough, or their faction races are not well matched, so there is no need to bring them with you. It is just right to leave them all here to defend the city.
Then Levi left behind some ordinary archers and those guys who had been brought with him when he took on the military mission.
He planned to let them stay until the last day, until the mission was almost over, and then let them go back to report and squeeze out as much of their combat effectiveness as possible.
Add to that the arrow towers, ancient guardians and celestial creatures, even if no reinforcements arrive, without three to five times the number of troops, the enemy will not be able to capture this place easily.
After finishing everything, Levi was very proud of himself. Now he just had to wait for the arrival of other God-chosen heroes so that he could take action and even return to the Beastmaster Castle.
As for the matter of Dracula and the old black dragon, it is not the time to really take action yet. We have to at least wait for the arrival of the legendary wizard Teclis, or for Illidan to get away before we can take action.
The opponent may be a legend or a demigod, so naturally you have to put out a similar lineup!
As he was thinking, his expression suddenly changed, because Inspector Yakong sent back an alarm, saying that two groups of forces were fighting three miles to the northwest.
One of the groups was made of dwarves, and the other group was made of inspectors that Yakong couldn't describe in words. He only knew that they were very strange.
But no matter what, when Levi heard the word "dwarf", he took action immediately. No matter whether the other party was a native or a hero chosen by God, it was a good opportunity for him!
