Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 267 Refugees and Blood Elves
So after synchronizing relevant information with Michaela, Levi, the Sun Knight, Master and others also began to take joint action.
That was to pretend to give up the attack on the Pigherd Town, and instead bypass them to attack the villages and gathering places further north.
As a result, with many factors combined, the greenskins fell into the trap, and both the indigenous people and the chosen heroes gradually withdrew from Swineherd's Town.
On this day, after joining forces to take down a small village, Levi and the Sun Knight returned to the Beastmaster Castle together. They decided to stay quiet for the time being in order to paralyze the Pigherd Town and prepare for the real battle to come.
As for the issue of joining forces with the Sun Knight, it was mainly because he felt more and more dangerous as he continued to fight northward.
The green-skinned natives are fine, but the wisdom shown by those guys with boiling blood means that they are unlikely to retreat so quietly. They might even plan to launch a surprise attack and then run away.
If he acted together with the Sun Knight, he would have very good cannon fodder.
Now his main forces are either the Undead or the many Dragon Tooth Soldiers that Levi helped him get, all of which are very suitable to serve as consumables.
The Sun Knight also wanted to use this to repay Levi a little. He had received a lot of benefits from Levi recently, but had not yet acquired much magic and skills suitable for Levi, so he could only make up for it a little in this aspect.
Anyway, his plan is very clear. It's okay for other troops, but it's really easy to recruit the Undead, which is most suitable for someone like him with a lot of money.
As he was walking, Levi suddenly received information from the surveillance sub-kongs. At the same time, the Sun Knight shouted, and he also received a report from a Purgatory Bat acting as a scout.
As a dark guard, he can use some supernatural powers to a limited extent, such as the Purgatory Servant, which allows him to summon some small animals with Purgatory characteristics, the most common ones are bats, cats, horses, toads, etc.
The relationship between them is somewhat similar to that between a wizard and a magical pet, they can both communicate telepathically and so on.
Since it had almost no combat power, the Sun Knight summoned a Purgatory Bat for reconnaissance, as a double insurance with Levi's Inspector Subkong.
Correspondingly, the holy warriors can only summon mount-type animals, such as camels, horses, donkeys and the like.
"Hey, Levi, why are there some tents ahead?"
Levi nodded: "I also received the reminder, let's go and take a look."
Now they are located in the east of Zhuguan Town, quite a distance away from the Beastmaster Castle. In this situation, the sudden appearance of some tents in the wild looks strange no matter how you look at it.
Soon they approached their destination, and they saw several tattered large tents on the plain, which looked like they could accommodate hundreds of people.
Levi narrowed his eyes slightly. Could this be a trap? But if there were only a hundred people, unless all of them were Tier 5 soldiers, it would not be a threat to him now.
But he still cast summoning magic, signaling the celestial creatures to go and check, while letting the vampires who were monitoring the Akong and the Sun Knights to scout the surroundings. When the situation is unclear, it is always better to be careful.
Everyone moved quickly, but unexpectedly, when the celestial creatures opened the tent with a little caution, they did not find any hideous monsters. Instead, they saw a large group of humanoid creatures in rags and with looks of weakness on their faces.
There are humans, half-elves, the occasional small creature like dwarves and gnomes, and real elves.
When his subordinates opened the tent, they seemed to be even more nervous than themselves. However, after the Wolf Patrol and others determined that the other party posed no threat, Levi still walked in personally.
Because most of the other side were civilians, and almost none of them had combat capabilities, they naturally posed no threat. He also roughly judged the situation in front of him, and that they should be some refugees fleeing.
As for the Sun Knight, he could only stay outside helplessly.
There was no way. As his strength continued to increase, even when there were no undead creatures around him, his increasingly gloomy and evil aura would cause disgust and even hatred among many indigenous people.
Evil aura, dark blessings, despair... These abilities that can enhance his strength are terrifying to ordinary people.
If he went in with Levi, even if he didn't say anything and just stood there, I'm afraid many people would be scared to death.
As soon as they saw Levi, the refugees became excited as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"It's Master Mage, we are saved!"
"Sir, please save us, we are being chased by evil monsters!"
At first, only the few people closest to them spoke, but soon as the sound spread, more and more people began to waile, and some were so emotional that they started crying on the spot. For a moment, the whole scene seemed very chaotic, and Levi was unable to collect much useful information.
"Quiet!"
Levi raised his hand and cast several secondary silencing spells in succession. This was a gift given to him by the Sun Knight in the morning, along with a third-level magic fireball spell.
Its effect is very simple, it just makes creatures within a certain range unable to speak. All priests and wizards who need to chant spells or say magic names will not be able to cast spells smoothly when they are hit by this trick.
Of course, because it is only a level 1 magic, even with his current strength, it is difficult to be effective against troops higher than level 3, and the duration is also very short. The effect on targets with higher magic resistance is greatly reduced.
But just a few seconds were actually enough. When the magic effect disappeared, no one was crying anymore, and most people looked at him with awe.
At the same time, he also took the opportunity to find out the guys who had some strength among them.
Although they all looked tattered in appearance, and some had mud on their faces and bodies, they were not affected by his magic, which meant that they were at least level 3.
He randomly called a nearby guy and said, "Tell me what's going on."
The guy who was chosen did not answer immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and turned to look at a guy in the corner who was wearing a cloak, looked a little thin and a little mysterious.
The others also looked at that guy. It seemed that he had some prestige among these refugees.
Unexpectedly, it was a clear female voice that spoke.
"Sir, our original village was destroyed by demons. During the crisis, we fled to the Underdark, hoping to hide temporarily, but we didn't expect to be captured by the snake people."
"We were originally held in an underground cave. People were taken away from time to time and never showed up again. We suspected they were all dead."
At this point, the mysterious woman and everyone around her were clearly in grief.
Snake people are an extremely bloody and brutal race. Their diet even includes humans or elves. The fate of those who are taken away seems self-evident.
After a brief pause, she continued, "But this morning, there was a sudden earthquake, which caused a huge crack to appear in the cave that trapped us. Then there were sounds of fighting and shouting in the cave. It seemed that the snake people were under attack."
"So we took the opportunity to escape. We finally got here and escaped from the snake people's territory, and we were able to catch our breath."
Levi nodded slightly. Indeed, he had sensed a small earthquake before, but he did not expect that a passage leading to the underworld would open nearby.
It must not be a narrow path that could allow so many weak refugees to escape.
Then if we successfully capture the Pigherd Town and then head to the Underdark again, wouldn’t it be much more convenient?
As for who he would fight against the snake people, he didn't bother to think about it because there were too many possibilities in the Underdark.
There was no need to ask where their original village was. Although this area was mainly the territory of elves and greenskins, there were also some small villages and gathering places of other races.
For example, the previous bee people, Spartans, etc., were all in similar situations.
The mysterious woman continued: "If we must say, we are all homeless refugees. We have nothing but our lives and freedom."
Refugees?
Levi knew that the other party was reminding him not to think about getting any benefits from them, but the other party probably didn't know that he was not that kind of person.
He nodded slightly: "In that case, I will escort you to the nearest Beast Guardian Castle, which has many elf troops as garrisons."
No one raised any objections, because for those who had escaped death, it didn't matter where they went. They just wanted to find a safe place. If they could drink some water, eat something, and have a good sleep, that would be great.
The next moment, before they made any requests, Levi had already taken the initiative to satisfy them.
As soon as he saw their appearance, he knew that they must have had a miserable life recently, and even if he wanted to take them away with him, he had to replenish his energy first.
Levi also communicated with the mysterious woman about the relevant information.
Then he was very satisfied to learn that the passage they came out of was indeed not far from here, only a few kilometers. If he went to the Underdark again in the future, he would not have to run all the way to that valley.
As for the strength of those snake people, he had almost figured it out. Although these refugees were beaten badly by a wave of attacks at the beginning, some of them successfully fought back and killed the enemy, which was no different from what he had encountered before.
There are a lot of snake people in this group, probably numbering over a thousand.
Unfortunately, before he could ask more details, within two minutes, the Sun Knight and Donna outside the tent shouted at the same time: "Levi, we have work to do!"
"Enemy attack, a large number of snake people!"
The refugees were suddenly in a panic, but when Levi raised his hand, they immediately quieted down a lot.
Levi nodded in satisfaction: "Don't panic, since these evil aliens dare to catch up, they are looking for death. It's just right for us to avenge you and those innocent victims!"
At this time, a human male who looked to be in his thirties, with a scruffy beard, but whose muscles could not be concealed even by his robe, spoke first: "Sir, please give me a weapon, so I can join the battle!"
"Sir, I also want to avenge my father!"
"Sir, please give me a chance too!"
After the man spoke, five or six refugees stepped forward. From the outside, most of them looked no different from other refugees, but in Levi's memory, they were all the people who had just ignored the secondary silencing spell.
He immediately laughed: "Of course, as a race of order, we should work together to defeat the evil aliens. I am the high elf wizard Levi, and I allow you to join the war!"
He waved his hand and threw out a dozen spare green-quality weapons, armors, shields, etc. After fighting every day, there would be a lot of these low-level weapons in his space ring. Now he gave them to them and reused them.
They immediately rushed forward, quickly armed themselves, and headed outside, looking like they really intended to take revenge themselves.
However, the woman that Levi focused on did not act with them.
She just walked forward slowly and slowly lifted up her cloak.
Levi immediately raised his eyebrows, not only because the other person looked quite pretty, even a little charming, but also because she was a rare blood elf with red hair and red eyes.
Although the word "elf" is included in the names of all races, there are many subspecies of elves. Currently, the ones that occupy the mainstream position and have greater power are basically the high elves, wood elves, dark elves, and drow elves. Then there are the winged elves, sea elves, and the night elves which have been gradually gaining some fame recently.
But in addition to these, there are other relatively rare or relatively weaker elf subspecies, and blood elves are one of them.
Also a branch of the elves, the blood elves are said to be naturally good at casting spells. They once desperately pursued the power of magic, even to the point of addiction.
As a result, they were tempted by many evil things, so it was not surprising that they used forbidden powers and even intentionally or unintentionally attracted a real army of demons.
Although the riot ended quickly, the demons who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to invade were soon discovered by the high elves. After expending some energy, they forcibly repelled the opponent without even alarming too many gods.
The blood elves, who were slaughtered indiscriminately by the descending demons, woke up from their dreams. Later, they gradually became good people and began to restrain their desires.
But after all, they did wrong things, caused a lot of threats, and brought suffering and death to the surrounding humans and other races. Naturally, they would be held accountable afterwards, ostracized by many races, or simply regarded as heretics.
Especially after the introduction of the demon army, because the top leaders of their entire race were involved in this evil conspiracy, they were directly abandoned by the elven gods.
Without a god of their own and not being very powerful themselves, the blood elves would face a very difficult road ahead.
Because they don't have a strong backing, this kind of post-mortem settlement is almost endless, and everyone likes to give a downed dog a beating.
You have to know that the blood elves not only offended humans, but also offended many long-lived races including dwarves and high elves, who could live for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Once a long-lived race remembers a grudge, a few hundred years is just a small matter, and a thousand years is just a few generations.
They will not directly launch a massacre against the blood elves, but after blocking many aspects of their culture, economy, military, etc., more evil races will naturally spontaneously become their butchers.
If this situation continued for a long time, it would lead to the rapid decline of the blood elves' power and make them more radical.
The specific manifestation is that the camps of many of their members have basically shifted to chaotic neutral, and some are even evil.
Since you think we are evil, let's be truly evil!
You know what, this actually changed the situation a little.
After all, blood elves are a highly intelligent race. Not only are they naturally suited to spellcasting, but it is also very easy for them to engage in conspiracies and tricks. It is not a problem to be worried about thieves stealing, but to be worried about thieves keeping an eye on you. Being kept an eye on by such a race is not a good thing.
Moreover, the power of the blood elves continued to shrink, and they split in the later period. One part began to be truly kind, and after who knows how many years, the anger of other races had been vented almost completely, and this reckoning finally stopped.
However, the impact on the blood elves is permanent, and the special experience has made their entire race very extreme.
But for Levi, this girl is still very attractive, because he is almost certain that she will be a mage unit, which is currently the most lacking unit in his team.
The blood elf bowed slightly and saluted Levi. It was not known whether it was because she lived together with humans that she did not have the pride that was said to be unique to the blood elves.
"Lord Levi, I am Sally Theron. Thank you very much for saving my life, but now I need some real weapons suitable for mages."
Levi smiled , took out the enchanted magic book and the blazing staff that he had used for quite some time before, and threw them to the other party.
After thinking for a while, he threw a few small equipment to the other party to increase the power of fire magic: "You should be a fire mage, right?"
After the blood elf Sally took it, she was immediately surprised: "Yes, Lord Levi, I am a level 4 elite fire mage."
Levi raised his eyebrows immediately. She was actually in an elite unit. This was really an unexpected surprise.
But those snake people actually kept her until now. Are they really too stupid, or did they originally plan to use her for some kind of sacrificial ceremony?
Whether it is Mershok, the snake god in the heart of Horus, or Zehir (Seth) who is stealing his believers and faith, they are undoubtedly evil gods, and they are relatively barbaric and primitive ones. They are all very fond of blood sacrifices.
"Very good, let me see your strength. The rest of you stay here, I will send troops to protect you!"
