Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 258 More Reinforcements
A quarter of an hour later, Levi had already arrived at the battlefield with his troops. After receiving the notification, important combat forces such as Alduin and Nar quickly joined him.
But despite their great speed, they still didn't have time to actually join the battle because the enemy had already been driven away.
To be honest, the opponent's strength was not particularly weak, but who made them choose the wrong enemy?
In addition to the Moonbow Temple, Zhoujiazhai and Spartans who Levi had expected to arrive first, the Red Brotherhood also sent troops, but what surprised Levi the most was the Lilith Temple and the bee people led by the old witch.
The Temple of Lilith received information about Dracula from Levi, so it is understandable that they took the initiative to send troops to reinforce without Levi asking for help.
But the huge beehive with a diameter of more than ten meters, guarded by hundreds of beemen, directly showed that the old witch had completely abandoned all her escape routes and chose to go all out.
If the beehive is destroyed and the queen and unhatched bee eggs are lost, the entire bee tribe can be declared extinct.
But Levi would not let that happen. Although the old witch hesitated for several times, she finally made up her mind. Judging by actions rather than intentions, since they were here, Levi would let his subordinates protect them well.
Although Levi no longer looks down upon the power of these bee people, they are still fully capable of being farmers and taking care of various plants and farmlands.
Several chosen heroes also ran over to report their battle results and the reasons why they fought to Levi.
It turned out that they had passed through that passage several times, which attracted the hostility and dissatisfaction of some evil races, so these God-chosen heroes joined forces to launch this wave of attacks.
However, they completely underestimated their own strength. When they were still three or four miles away, the night elves had already discovered the enemy first.
After several waves of arrows and magic, the other side suffered heavy losses and realized that they had picked the wrong enemy, which was a tough nut to crack, so they simply chose to cut off their tail to survive and retreated immediately, leaving only some stupid natives behind to die.
Levi nodded, indicating that he understood and he didn't take it too seriously.
Because of the strange appearances of the various races in the Underdark, very few people choose their God-chosen heroes. The most numerous are the drow elves, which are much more than all other races combined.
However, the nearest large drow town was hundreds of miles away from Blood Glory, and there were many other forces in between, so there was no need to worry about the other side attacking in a short period of time.
As for the remaining enemies, let Qian Ce and the others deal with them. We can't expect him to worry about everything.
While they were chasing the remaining enemies and clearing the battlefield, he took the initiative to approach the many indigenous people who came to help, expressed his welcome to them, and learned about the specific situation.
Seeing him coming, many indigenous people came over on their own initiative. The first came from the strongest Moonbow Temple. This time they directly sent out more than two hundred night elves, including archers, huntresses, druids and dryads.
The leader was not a stranger either. She was Lisa, one of the priestess of the Moon Bow Temple, whom Levi had dealt with many times before. She said directly that because of Levi's information, they could be stationed in his village for a long time, and if he wanted to recruit them, that was completely possible.
While speaking, she secretly pointed to the sky. Levi immediately knew that this must be the intention of the Moon Bow Goddess.
But the information about Dracula alone should not be enough to make them so generous, so it must be that the matter of Sobek has been resolved?
He suppressed the joy in his heart and signaled the other party to talk in detail later.
It’s just that last time they said that the number of night elves was very small and they might not be able to provide too many recruitment places. But as soon as I showed my value, they directly sent out more than 200 of them. How realistic!
Next came the reinforcements from the Temple of Goddess Lilith. Strictly speaking, Levi was not familiar with them, but perhaps because the information Levi provided was indeed valuable, the other party did not hold back this time.
First came 30 Silver Guards, followed by 20 Sky Eagle Archers, Avalon Sisters, and Shadow Mist Servants. The number was not too large, but their strength was quite extraordinary. They were all level 4 soldiers.
They not only provided recruitment quotas, but of course they were not free gifts either. Levi had to spend half the normal cost to recruit them.
It can be said that this support force alone is enough to slightly improve the overall strength of Levi's troops.
The number of reinforcements for Zhoujiazhai was relatively small, only 70 in total, and the composition of the troops was also very monotonous. Among them, 50 were level 3 Jade Brave Halberd Soldiers, and 20 were their advanced Jade Brave Guards. This made Levi feel a little regretful.
In fact, the Yuyong series of soldiers from the Zhendan Dynasty, whether they are spearmen, halberd soldiers or crossbowmen, are considered to be quite powerful among the same level soldiers, and have a good cost-effectiveness, and are still very popular among many God-chosen heroes.
But Levi now has a very strong bonus against the high elf troops. Compared with the Silver Guards who have many bonuses, these Jade Warriors appear to be much weaker.
He had originally been thinking about whether he could get some Taoists or tiger people, but it seemed that their reputation was not enough, and Zhoujiazhai was still very cautious.
Zhou Miyin also felt a little ashamed, because Levi didn't let him go empty-handed. There were a lot of gold coins in his space ring, but he had no chance to spend them all.
"Sir, I'm very sorry. The elders said that although I have proven my strength, I have not yet proved my potential. In addition, many evil alien races have become active on the road recently, so the caravan also needs more guards. They can't give me too much."
Li Wei frowned slightly. Although he was far inferior to Cindy, Zhou Miyin had grown from a rank 1 spearman to a rank 4 Heavenly Guard in such a short time. The other party actually thought that he had not proved his potential? Isn't this requirement too high?
Li Wei was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something: "Zhou Miyin, how many heroes do you have in Zhoujiazhai? What are their professions?"
"Well, as far as I know, there are two. In addition to the clan leader who is the leader of the caravan, there is also an alchemist."
The two types he mentioned are both unique professions in the Zhendan Dynasty. As the name suggests, a caravan leader, in addition to being proficient in skills such as trading and path-finding, usually also has some abilities in improving morale and leadership, so as to facilitate leading mixed troops from different races to accompany the army.
Alchemists are a legal profession that specializes in the making of elixirs and some special metal magic.
Generally speaking, these two professions are more auxiliary rather than generals who specialize in combat. In this case, Levi may have a vague answer.
Perhaps the people of Zhoujiazhai want to see Zhou Miyin become a hero-level unit?
But with their power and financial resources, it shouldn't be difficult to get a hero's spirit, right?
Well, speaking of it, up to now, he seemed to have never heard of any natives being promoted through the Spirit of Heroes. Basically, all those who did so were the heroes chosen by God.
Moreover, even if Zhou Miyin could be promoted to a hero unit, what good would it do to Zhoujiazhai? Would he abandon me and return to Zhoujiazhai? How could it be possible!
But it doesn't matter. Even if the other party didn't have this requirement, he had originally planned to develop Zhou Miyin into a heroic unit, so as not to waste his potential and his relationship with Zhoujiazhai.
Even if Levi wants to develop eastward and establish contact with the Zhendan Dynasty in the future, the existence of Zhou Miyin and Zhoujiazhai cannot be ignored .
Next came the Spartans. Being straightforward in character, they stated very straightforwardly that they had heard that Leonidas had become a hero, so they wanted to look for the same opportunity.
If Levi hadn't sent anyone for help, they might have taken the initiative to go to Bitao Village tomorrow and fight alongside Leonidas.
This time they brought a total of 30 legion infantrymen, 20 guards infantrymen and 5 iron-blooded warriors serving as squad leaders.
Judging from the number of people and average strength alone, they may be the weakest among the support troops, because even the Iron Blood Warriors are only a level 3 soldier. With this little strength, Donna's rain of arrows can kill them all.
But Levi was not dissatisfied at all. He had personally stayed in the Spartan village, so he knew that the other side did not have many troops. It was a small number for him, but for them it was probably the best they could do.
After expressing his gratitude, Levi also asked about the Spartans' recent situation.
Overall, it was much better than he had imagined, mainly because of the activeness of many God-chosen heroes, not just Levi and his group, but also some new guys.
Although the High Elves have ten kingdoms, each kingdom has its own colonies, and some have more than one colony. There are also some military fortresses overseas that are dedicated to suppressing foreign races, which can all serve as the birthplace of the chosen heroes.
But overall, there is no place more exciting than here, and this may be true even if we expand the scope to all races.
Coupled with the advantages of the high elves in appearance and physique, a good diplomatic environment, the continuous arrival of reinforcements from other kingdoms, and the fact that newcomers can quickly obtain regular troops, many other factors have led to more and more God-chosen heroes choosing to appear here.
After a minor update, they were able to choose their birthplace more freely.
The Spartans also benefited a lot from this. For the village, the money for recruiting soldiers was actually only a small part, and the God-chosen heroes had many other places to spend money.
Soldiers have to live in special barracks or even pubs, and the purchase and maintenance of weapons and equipment, supplies, medicines, etc. all cost money.
They are also very enthusiastic. No matter if it's a villager who has lost their cattle or sheep, a merchant who is short of materials, or just a small task like delivering letters or running errands, they are willing to do it.
More importantly, they have an extraordinary enthusiasm for conquering the surrounding alien races.
In the past, goblins and other species of alien creatures with strong reproductive abilities could often be seen around the village, but these days, let alone goblins, even living rabbits are hard to find in the wild. Even hunters complain that all their prey have been killed by the chosen heroes of God.
In addition, after the demons were beaten up, they temporarily ran to the greenskins to cause trouble, so the Spartan village prospered at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.
Because the profits were so great, they even built several new stores to specifically serve the chosen heroes, even though they were not good at business.
It is also because of this that the village was able to squeeze out such a team, which was something they could never do a week ago when the demons were wreaking havoc.
Levi felt very satisfied. These Spartans seemed a little weak now, but they were indeed very reliable. If possible, he would help them.
Next came the Red Brotherhood, and this time the one who came was none other than Lotus Iris, who had repaired the magic earrings and disguised herself as Big Mom again.
Levi, who already knew the other person's true appearance, was not as disgusted as before. After all, her face was fake.
He just smiled and said, "Lotus, I didn't expect you to come in person. I thought someone else would come when I stuck the flag upside down behind the tavern door."
Lotus couldn't help but roll her eyes: "We in the Red Brotherhood are not yet powerful enough to expand our influence into the Underdark, but we intend to do so this time."
Levi showed some interest: "Do you want to change the direction of development?"
Originally, the Red Brotherhood mainly developed on the human side, followed by the high elves, and the others were all smaller in scale. I didn’t expect that the Lotus would have such a big change.
Lotus sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. Although we were able to escape from the goddess of wealth with her help, we also paid a certain price."
"Business has been difficult recently due to the actions of many evil alien races. After we broke away from the Goddess of Fortune, many human organizations that were unaware of the situation gradually reduced their cooperation with us, which made things worse for us. This forced us to make changes."
"After thinking about it, I realized that only the Underdark has not been developed. In addition, the priests of the temple said that we might be needed here, so we came here."
"We know that our combat effectiveness is not good, so we brought a large number of villagers and workers this time. You won't dislike us, right?"
Levi laughed immediately. He had to admit that Lotus was indeed very smart.
"Of course not. These two are what this village lacks the most right now. If you don't mind, I can let you manage the tavern. I will also help you find a target for cooperation. Have you heard of the Moon Singer?"
Lotus was immediately surprised. It was just an idea at first, but after arriving in the dark area, she had not walked a few miles when the enemies gave her a warning, making her realize the danger here.
She originally thought that opening up this trade route would be very difficult and long, but she didn't expect Levi to be so efficient and directly provide her with a partner with great potential!
"Is it the organization affiliated with the Dark Girl?"
Seeing Li Wei nodding with a smile, Lianhua's expression turned serious: "Levi, don't worry, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will remember your kindness."
The two of them tacitly did not mention the army brought by Lotus, because after seeing the armies of other elves, the troops of the Red Brotherhood were really not worthy of being put on the stage.
The Red Brotherhood has never been an organization known for its strong fighting power. They are essentially just some businessmen with their own armed forces.
"By the way, Levi, the Snake Cult seems to have made some moves recently. They have begun to corrupt human nobles and expand their army at a faster pace. They are probably preparing something."
As their sworn enemy, the Red Brotherhood would naturally be the first to notice any movement from the Snake Cult.
Levi seemed to be thinking deeply. Was it because he felt the impending threat, or was he really preparing for the deification?
But no matter what, once its information was known to the elves, its final fate was already determined.
The Snake Cult was quite powerful, but just quite powerful. When they decided to corrupt the human nobles, they were destined to become rats in the gutter.
Even if he didn't cause trouble for them, those forces of order and justice had probably already prepared to deal with them. What they just lacked now was an opportunity.
After walking around, Levi finally came to the old witch and the bees.
Even though Janet had arrived early and was chattering about something with the bees, the old witch knew that Levi still had some goodwill towards them, but when Levi actually stood in front of her, the old witch still felt embarrassed.
But it’s really not her fault. Who could have thought that the God-chosen hero would grow so fast?
Clearly, 10 days ago, she could still look down on the other person and ask him to run errands for her, but 10 days later, she was the one looking up to the other person and begging for his acceptance.
But Levi did not act superior. On the contrary, he smiled and spoke softly to the other party about the recent situation.
This was beyond the old witch's expectations. Before coming here, she was even prepared to accept the other party's ridicule and even mockery. After all, she had rejected the other party once before.
But she didn't expect that the other party would be so friendly to her. This was completely different from her former fellow tribesmen!
When Levi saw the old witch's excited expression, he couldn't help but laugh secretly. When the other party first refused to come here, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
After all, if she hadn't called the other party out from the rocky highlands, she and the entire bee tribe might have been killed by the demons long ago. This old guy was more or less ungrateful.
But apart from venting his emotions, anger will not bring him any benefits, but may instead create some hidden worries.
But now that he treats her like this, if she doesn't work for him honestly, no matter how he punishes her in the future, others will only applaud and praise him.
Being in the lawful good camp doesn't mean that you can't kill people. On the contrary, once an honest person gets angry, the consequences will be very serious, and everyone else can fully understand that.
Then Levi learned that the old witch and the bee tribe had not been doing well recently.
It's not just what Levi had heard before, the power of death emanating from Silent Manor will have a certain impact on the bees, and there's another point, the Sun Knight won't keep them for nothing.
Since they chose to come to Silent Manor, they naturally needed to provide manpower for other God-chosen heroes. Unfortunately, the bees were very weak, and those God-chosen heroes were not as strong as Li Wei. Naturally, they died quickly, so they tried to recruit more bees to fill this gap.
But the old witch didn't want to agree, because she had already seen that this was a bottomless pit and there would not be enough bee people to die.
So after just a few days, coupled with the differences in race and habits, the conflicts between them had accumulated to a certain extent. In addition, many of the chosen heroes had noticed her drow bloodline and were always trying to get to the bottom of it, which gave her a great sense of crisis.
But what really prompted her to make the decision was that the temples of the two goddesses chose to lend a helping hand together, and the old witch had heard more or less about Levi's activeness on the battlefield. This was the role of the legendary degree.
Levi found it a little funny. Others were interested in her bloodline, so they must have wanted to find some related tasks. However, they did not pay attention to the degree, which led to this sensitive guy being forced to come to him for help.
Of course, if it wasn't for me who introduced her, even if she wanted to run away, others might not let her go so easily.
But no matter what, the ending is good now. The old witch brought more than 300 bee people, most of whom are working worker bees. They will first serve as ordinary villagers in the village.
If the soldier bees are willing to join the war, they can do so. If they are not willing, that’s fine too. The village does not lack their manpower.
As for revenge against the drow who once enslaved them, there is no rush. They can wait until Levi has dealt with the greenskins and then come back next time to talk about it.
The old witch naturally had no objection. Since she had decided to return to the Underdark, she had naturally considered many possibilities, and now she was undoubtedly moving in the best direction.
So in order to express her loyalty to Levi, she immediately stated that after joining the village, she was willing to do her part. In the future, she would make more basic magic scrolls and potions and share them with those in need.
Levi nodded and didn't take it too seriously. The old witch had demonstrated this ability during her time at Silent Manor, but it was pretty mediocre, so it was better than nothing.
When he first met the other party, he thought that the other party was a hidden talent, but as he got to know him more, he realized that the other party was probably just a paper tiger.
Her level is definitely lower than my current level, and not just a little bit lower.
Even now, he began to doubt whether the other party was a hero unit, because she had hardly made any moves.
Even in the battle just now, she only picked up the crossbow and shot a few arrows without casting any magic.
But no matter what, since she can come, that's good. She should work hard in the future. It will benefit her and the bees. After all, she took care of Janet and brought her up, so she should give Janet some face, right?
After a circle, Levi's reputation in various forces has increased to varying degrees. Seeing that everyone has rested, Levi ordered to officially march towards Blood Glory. When they arrive, the defense of his village will be unprecedentedly strong.
He returned to the Moon Bow Goddess' reinforcements again.
This time, there was still no need to say more. The other party directly handed over a translucent milky white crescent ornament: "This is a token given by the goddess. Sir Levi, the next time you see that gentleman, just show this token."
Levi took a look and found that except for the token named Shahanni Moonbow, everything else was a series of question marks. However, calculating the time, he would be able to open it for the second time in a few dozen hours, and everything would be clear by then.
Now his task is to place all the reinforcements, then return to the Beastmaster Fort on the front line and participate in the war with the greenskins again!
