Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 261: Invitation from the Sun Knight
After listening to Levi's analysis, everyone couldn't help but look serious. There were actually too many gods involved around the colony.
Now there is a new god from the evil camp. Even if the opponent’s main target is the snake people, it is definitely not a good thing for them.
The only consolation is that the other party will not dare to completely break off relations in the short term, and the development direction is temporarily placed in the dark area, so it will not become a real threat for the time being.
But despite this, they still need to report to Princess Belinda as soon as possible. As long as the matter involves the gods, they have no say in it.
In addition, the transactions behind the vampire Dracula and the spider queen Rose, who are trying to become gods, also need to be reported immediately.
Even if, as Levi said, Moonbow Goddess and Lilith Goddess already knew about this matter, their Elf Kingdom still needed to be prepared.
The gods never want to do everything themselves, otherwise they could just close all the abyss rifts. Whenever possible, they still hope that the elves can solve the problem themselves.
At this point, Michaela was about to announce the end of the meeting, when suddenly she noticed Levi's hint.
She suddenly had an idea, and after the meeting, she separated from the others and held a small private meeting with Levi and Reiner.
So Levi revealed something about the big crocodile.
While being shocked at Levi's frequent contact with the gods at such an early age, Michaela also immediately realized another thing.
"So you let the other chosen heroes attack Broken Bay, using them as bait to draw away some of the troops from Swineherd Town, so as to facilitate our subsequent attack?"
Li Wei smiled and said, "It's not just a bait. If they can really succeed, it will be extremely beneficial to our next battle."
"I think the plan is feasible, Levi, you are really worthy of me!"
Reiner responded to Levi immediately, because according to his current understanding of those greenskins, once their offensive slowed down and the war in Broken Bay became tense again, the greenskins in Swineherd's Town would definitely withdraw some troops to support, because they believed that Swineherd's Town was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Michaela thought about it and felt that it was not a big problem, but she had to wait for Levi's next notification for the details. After all, the Crocodile God had not really decided to help them yet. This was just a strategic plan of Levi.
However, if it really works, she can't let Levi or the crocodile man take all the credit. She also needs to seek some help from other directions...
After finalizing some details and further perfecting the plan, Levi and Reiner also said goodbye as they had their own things to do.
After walking a few steps, Reiner suddenly said: "By the way, Levi, when you were away, a hero chosen by God named 'Sun Knight' came to see you. The evil aura on him is very disgusting, so you should be careful."
High elves are naturally inclined towards law and kindness. Even the elven gods of the evil camp will be alienated by the elves because of this, not to mention a hero chosen by God.
Levi couldn't help but grin. Wow, the Sun Knight has reached this point?
He asked casually: "I know him. Although his camp is evil, he should also be working hard to fight against the greenskins, right?"
Reiner snorted coldly: "So what? Even if he led the team to kill thousands of greenskins and made many contributions, it is still not enough to change his evil nature."
"If we only consider strength and not faction, how can we ban the worship of Kane?"
Levi was speechless for a moment. Indeed, Kane, the God of Bloody Hands, who was a powerful being, was boycotted because of his evil camp. So what was the Sun Knight?
This is probably a small shortcoming of the high elves. In comparison, many human countries are much more tolerant. They are inclusive, and for the sake of power, many countries and city-states can maintain their faith in evil gods.
After ending this little episode, Levi planned to go to the military camp and the tavern to see if he could recruit some suitable soldiers, or try his luck at finding an elite or something.
Although there are many God-chosen heroes staying or passing by here every day, the possibility of him being able to get one is extremely low, but if he goes there at least there is a chance. If he doesn't go to see it, then there is absolutely no chance.
After going around, he didn't gain anything as expected. The natives themselves were short of troops, so it was naturally impossible for them to open up to the God-chosen heroes for recruitment on a large scale.
Those winged elves were not open to the outside world for the time being, but relying on his own legendary status and military rank, he still successfully opened up his reputation and received several small tasks.
In addition to this, he also saw more reinforcements from other temples. It seemed that almost all the temples in Ashridge Town had sent reinforcements, and each temple also had its own special forces.
Unfortunately, he is not yet qualified to recruit soldiers in these temples. He can only do some small tasks and slowly improve his reputation.
Then he discovered that the statues of the two goddesses, Lilith and Yuegong, actually existed in the same temple at the same time. It seemed that the relationship between them was really getting better and better.
After walking around for another half circle and seeing that there was really nothing there, Levi decided to go and look for trouble with the greenskins himself.
In about another day, he will be able to see the big crocodile for the second time. After killing this time, the situation here is likely to change drastically. He also wants to take the opportunity to find out the current combat power of the greenskins.
If possible, contact Cai Jin again, whose blood is boiling. It's time to solve the problem of Lisadilan.
I don't know where the Sun Knight has gone now. From Reiner's tone, he doesn't seem to be having a very good time here.
If possible, it would be best to trick him into the Underdark to deal with drow, troglodytes, snakemen and the like.
When the time comes to officially start the war with vampires, drow, old black dragons, etc., we can also let him participate and use his power.
Speak of Cao Cao, and he will appear. Just now Levi and the others were talking about the Sun Knight, but Levi didn't expect to run into the Sun Knight just four or five miles north.
It’s not that he saw the other party’s face at a glance, but mainly because he was far away and he saw that in addition to some elves and human soldiers, there was also a black smoke-like energy aura covering many troops.
In this place, the only troops that have such a combination, such strength, and the courage to walk openly in the wild are probably the Sun Knights.
Soon the other party recognized him and the two sides quickly met together.
As they got closer, Levi could see the enemy's troops more clearly.
My goodness, some ogres are fine, these guys don’t care who hires them as long as they are given meat, but this one is a grave guard and a vampire, could it be that he wants to develop into the undead?
Those elves don't look normal either. Almost all of them have dull eyes and blue and black skin. I'm afraid they are all death elves?
No wonder Reiner has a problem with him. If it were Levi himself, he probably wouldn't have any good feelings towards him at all.
Even though he believed in Ers Haiai, the long-lost queen of the underworld, the current configuration would be difficult for the natives to understand or accept.
Even if they haven't seen each other for many days, there is nothing to get excited about, after all, they are in touch every day through other means.
So after a brief polite exchange, Levi quickly mentioned this issue, and the Sun Knight grinned: "Although the Queen of the Underworld has been missing for a long time, she still grants power to her believers, so I also followed the clues to find two secret small temples and obtained some recruitment rights."
"As for the ogres, this place is not far from their many kingdoms. With a little time and a little bit of luck, we can always recruit them."
"As for vampires and grave guards..."
At this point, the Sun Knight paused deliberately to whet Levi's appetite: "But I didn't convert them using ordinary troops. Instead, some beings came to me on their own initiative."
Levi's brain started working quickly, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that those vampires put aside their past grudges and want to pull you into their camp?"
The Sun Knight nodded with a smile: "That's exactly what they planned. So after paying some so-called price and showing sincerity, I gained some benefits. Of course, I also discussed this with the Black Castle side."
When Levi heard what he said, he knew that they were probably planning to dig a big hole for the vampire and trick him once and for all.
It's just that he probably didn't tell Reiner about this, otherwise Reiner wouldn't have such a big opinion of him, and the Black Castle should not have revealed all the information to the Sun Knight.
Levi pondered for a moment and decided to maintain the status quo for the time being so as not to disrupt Black Castle's plan. He then began to inquire about progress in other areas.
As a result, everything went smoothly. Relying on their rich foundation, the Lightforgers have captured several small settlements and villages in succession.
However, this also caused great pressure, forcing the Sun Knight to send most of his minions over. Currently, the Lightforged are confronting a group of green-skinned God-chosen heroes led by Vice President of the Blood Boiling Guild - Cai Jin.
Although the Sun Knight himself was quite powerful, he arrived too late and only captured a small village with a poor location and extremely scarce resources.
But the green-skinned natives seemed quite interested in the place, and often carried out small-scale looting and attacks, forcing him to leave the remaining guild members there.
Seeing that the war is now at a stalemate and neither the enemy nor our side can take the initiative, it is difficult for him to make any new developments.
This time he returned to the Beastmaster Castle to ask the natives if they had any plans for the next step.
Otherwise, he might have to find a way to change the status quo on his own, for example, to meet up with the Lightforged, try to open a passage in that direction, and continue to advance towards the greenskins in the north.
But if they did that, they would definitely be attacked fiercely by the other side. If that didn't work, he would have to move to another place to develop.
Levi immediately laughed. This was exactly what he wanted.
After thinking about it, Levi simply told the other party a lot of content from the meeting. When it didn't involve the gods, there was nothing to hide in many other things. Even if he didn't say it, the other gods' chosen heroes would sooner or later notice it.
Moreover, if Sobek was able to send troops, our side would certainly also send troops to capture Pigherd Town. Rather than letting outsiders get the advantage, it would be better to give the opportunity to the Sun Knight.
The Sun Knight was indeed very interested, but unfortunately, he was unable to do anything for the time being.
It's not just because he has no ships, but also because his troops are not good at naval battles. If everything goes smoothly, it would be fine. But if he encounters pirates while sailing, with his current troops, he may only be able to resort to boarding combat.
Levi suddenly laughed even more happily. That's right. Although he had never participated in a naval battle, he knew that naval battles relied on various long-range attacks.
Cannons, bows and arrows, magic, and those who are capable can also deploy advanced flying war beasts, but the Sun Knight has replaced most of his troops with Undead who do not have any long-range capabilities, so he cannot fight a naval battle at all!
"How about this, wait for two more days. If things still don't change after two days, I suggest you go to the Underdark."
"Qian Thief and his team have arrived and are making good progress. Except for the poor sight and vision at times, the prospects over there are no less promising than the surface world."
"And if nothing unexpected happens, the undead you're worried about will also do something over there."
The Sun Knight's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you have relevant information as well?"
In fact, he had guessed it a long time ago. They had captured Silent Manor together. There was no reason why those guys only looked for him and ignored Levi!
Levi chuckled and nodded: "Indeed, but I can't tell you everything now."
"Okay, I'll listen to you then."
The Sun Knight agreed readily, and then he changed the subject: "By the way, in addition to asking the natives, I originally wanted to report something to them and seek their help, but since you are here, how about we do it together?"
"Is it a mission? Or a monster?"
“Both!”
The Sun Knight shared a task with me without saying anything.
Levi took a quick look and found out that in a village located in the swamp south of Swineherd Town, there was a troll witch with some trolls and greenskins, who had been quite active recently.
They constantly attacked the chosen heroes and also launched attacks on the surrounding villages. They were very bullying and afraid of the strong. They would attack small-scale enemies and retreat into the swamp when they saw large-scale enemies. Although the damage they caused was not great, it was very disgusting.
As it was difficult to cross the outer swamps, other heroes chosen by the elven gods did not take on the task. However, the Sun Knight decided to give it a try because most of his men were undead and their physical attributes were far superior to those of the living.
Then when he just arrived at the outskirts, he found that something was wrong. The greenskins seemed to want to use that place as a trap to attract their own chosen heroes to attack, because he saw a greenskin warrior riding a wyvern falling into the village!
Levi became slightly more interested: "Is it Mogro Demon Eater?"
The Sun Knight shook his head. "Probably not. That guy never travels alone. He always brings several wyverns with him whenever he goes out. But even if it's other heroic units, this deal is definitely worth it."
This statement is true, but Levi's troops cannot ignore the swamp. Could it be that he only takes Xiaotian and the flying sub-aircrafters to participate in the battle?
The Sun Knight chuckled and said, "No need. They probably left a few small paths to facilitate their own travel and lure our side into the trap. I found them. Under normal circumstances, they can accommodate more than a dozen people in and out side by side, which is enough for us to kill our way in."
Since the Sun Knights had already made arrangements, why should Levi hesitate? Of course, he readily agreed.
So they set off directly to their destination. On the way, Levi also demonstrated his new ability, made some dragon tooth soldiers and handed them over to the other party.
The Sun Knight was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Levi.
The undead certainly have their advantages, but they have more disadvantages. Now with the addition of these dragon tooth soldiers, they can make up for the weaknesses of his troops to a considerable extent.
So without saying anything, he asked Levi for his bank account number, wanting to buy unlimited quantities of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers that Levi would produce in the future, and he would also do his best to help buy the Dragon Teeth.
However, Levi refused, as he wanted more in-game resources, such as magic, skills, and equipment.
The Sun Knight knew that his lazy plan had failed, but he had no choice but to agree to help Levi purchase these things.
Next, they headed north, and except for other God-chosen heroes, they didn't encounter any enemies at all. It seemed that they were all killed, which made Levi feel very bored.
So he could only find something to pass the time, such as the records of battles that Michaela had given him before, which he could study more. Maybe they would come in handy the next time he went to Black Castle to play a dungeon.
For example, you can communicate with the sword dancers from the Moon Singers to learn about the Underdark. This information will be useful when you deal with the greenskin issues.
In this way, time passed much faster, and soon they arrived at the outskirts of the swamp.
Although he had heard of it many times before, it was only when he actually saw the endless swamp that Levi truly felt what pain was.
An ogre several meters tall would be submerged up to his chest if he went in, and an ordinary elf would disappear instantly. What’s more important is that the stench is overwhelming, which puts a very high test on one’s sense of smell.
Fortunately, the Sun Knight was not bragging. After wandering around for a quarter of an hour, he finally found the path he mentioned, and everyone was finally able to stand on solid ground.
But as they moved forward, troubles also came one after another. There were many special monsters in the swamp, not to mention some giant insects, but also various fishmen, frogmen, snakemen, etc., who would use the cover of mud to attack them one after another.
They have no alliance with the greenskins, but in order to defend their territory, they will attack any invaders they see.
Fortunately, they are ultimately weak and can only be considered a nuisance rather than a threat.
But despite this, Levi finally understood why both the indigenous people and the chosen heroes would look so troubled when they mentioned Swineherd Town.
Unless the greenskins fight among themselves, they can only rely on other types of soldiers that are good at fighting in swamps, or pure air force, to capture Pigherd Town as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, the Sun Knight had many undead under his command, and he took the initiative to take on all the dirty work, so Levi and his team just had to get on with their journey.
Although those enemies are disgusting, why would the low- and middle-level undead care whether they are disgusting or not?
The situation was similar for the Dragon Tooth Soldiers. Although they were not undead, they were like puppets and did not care about these things at all.
Levi also observed the Sun Knight's combat effectiveness. It turns out that although he intended to set a trap for the vampires, those vampires really put in a lot of effort on him.
No matter whether they are grave guards or vampires, their strength has not been compromised at all. There are even two vampire wizards who can cast various small magic spells. It is really easy for them to defeat these swamp natives.
Moreover, one of the graveyard guards was a hero, and he was quite capable in commanding his troops. In addition, the Sun Knight had indeed found the right path, so after spending a little time, they soon saw the target in the distance.
But as they got closer, Levi felt something was not right. Why were there so many trolls staggering around outside this small village?
There are the more common river trolls, the moss-covered swamp trolls, and the stone trolls with rock-like skin, but there are more greenskins.
But now, without exception, they all fell into the mud around them, as if they were dead or unconscious.
Judging from the posture and direction in which they lay, it was as if there was a large-scale magic coming from the center of the village, killing them all instantly before they could react.
Could it be that some powerful native wizard got there first?
But no matter what, it is always better to do a good job of defense first, so Levi began to cast various protective magic quickly, and summoned a large water element, wanting it to explore the way ahead.
In other places, the water element appears to be very mediocre among the four elements, but in the current water environment, its combat effectiveness is still acceptable, and it can perfectly serve as cannon fodder.
The Sun Knight was obviously aware of the problem, and he was a little anxious. He had spent a long time to find such a small path, and suffered so much along the way, but in the end, the fruits of victory were taken by others? He could never accept this!
But before he could run over, a seemingly unconscious river troll suddenly twitched and let out a very tragic howl.
Before Levi and the others could react, there was a loud "bang" and the river troll's chest suddenly exploded from the inside out, and several bloody balls leaped out of it.
Before anyone could get a clear look at their appearance, they had already swelled in the wind, and in the blink of an eye they had turned into reddish-brown monsters about a foot long, with features of various insects including ants, scorpions, bees and spiders.
The ferocious fangs, sharp tail stingers, numerous long legs, and three pairs of translucent membranous wings on the back make anyone who sees their appearance feel a chill down their spine.
Levi immediately received a system prompt saying that because he was staring at the other party, the other party successfully performed a special skill called "Crazy Stance".
But because of the huge gap in strength between the two sides, he became immune to it, and within the next 24 hours, he could ignore this skill cast by other similar enemies.
But behind them there were a dozen weaker night elves who could not help but scream. They shouted "There are bugs" loudly and kept slapping the air in front of them and on their bodies, but there was nothing there.
Levi immediately knew that this must be some kind of mental skill, but he didn't know whether it was an illusion, fear, or both.
"Cindy!"
"Okay!"
With a crisp response, Cindy immediately activated the Beacon of Courage skill. As the energy surged out, the night elves quieted down one after another.
Before Levi could check the specific situation, the trolls around him who were originally lying on the ground also let out painful howls, as if responding to their companions, and then the same monster jumped out of their bodies one by one.
There are nearly two hundred greenskins and trolls outside the village. Depending on their body size, the number of small monsters that each of them can hatch is also different, but at a rough glance, five or six hundred small monsters appeared on the scene almost in the blink of an eye.
When they looked over with their dark and lightless compound eyes, and seeing the brutality and desire for killing in them, coupled with their unique way of appearance, Levi immediately understood that these guys might be some kind of special demons!
