Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 277 New Hero, New Village
After Levi dealt with several enemy heroes with one move, without their command and attribute bonuses, the attack and defense of the greenskins on the front line declined to a certain extent, but the most obvious decline was in their morale and organization.
It makes a completely different difference if there is a hero behind to support the team and give occasional commands. This is also the reason why those wild monsters are easy to kill.
After holding on for another ten seconds, the green light on the greenskins' bodies burst like bubbles.
Zhou Miyin felt it at the first moment that the opponent's attack power and other aspects had decreased significantly.
After being suppressed and beaten for a long time, he finally cheered up and planned to launch a counterattack. However, he soon received an order that surprised him very much. It did not come directly from Lord Levi, but from Inspector Yakong.
Lord Levi was clearly in the air not far away, and he could hear him if he shouted, so why did he use this method? The Inspector Sub-Area could only transmit a few words in total...
But he had followed Levi for a long time, and had seen and learned a lot. After thinking for a while, he immediately figured it out. This must be for the sake of secrecy, or for some next plan!
So he immediately obeyed the order, pretending to be defeated by the two special stone trolls, and deliberately let the Jade Warriors leave a gap on the side.
At the same time, the rain of arrows from Donna and other distant troops also became obviously much slower, and even their attack power was weakened to a certain extent, as if they were gradually exhausted.
The Ghost Wolf, who was originally in grief, noticed this keenly. He was immediately overjoyed. It really was a blessing in disguise!
"Hurry, hurry, attack with all your might. Use all your best tactics. Success or failure depends on this one move!"
Several shamans were cheered up at once. In order to survive until now, besides being timid enough, they naturally had certain means. They used five or six consumable items in succession, and expanded the gap a little more.
Without caring about anything else, the Ghost Wolves and Shamans personally led their subordinates and rushed through the gap in a swarm.
This charge made them completely discover the weakness. The enemies in this direction were unexpectedly weak. There were even some mushroom people who were knocked away on the spot by the green-skinned big guys under their command without much effort.
It means that there is not enough time, otherwise Ghost Wolf would be completely confident that he could kill them all in less than three minutes with his own guards!
But when he thought of his personal guards, Ghost Wolf's heart suddenly twitched again, because all his personal guards had just died. If he could have discovered the opponent's weakness earlier, this battle might have had a different ending...
At the critical moment, Zhou Miyin and others began to try their best to stop him. At the same time, the rain of arrows gradually began to fall. The Ghost Wolf did not dare to stay for long, but just rushed forward. Now he did not seek to kill the enemy, but only to escape.
Both sides began to fight hard, which resulted in less than a hundred greenskins of Ghost Wolf being able to escape.
Even the ogre hero fell behind. He was being desperately entangled by a half-dragon. He couldn't run away even if he wanted to, and the Ghost Wolf could only give up helplessly.
As for the greenskins who were still trapped inside, Ghost Wolf had even less time to care about them.
Anyway, without the hero's command, those greenskins would not obey orders at all and would only act according to their own instincts, which was a good opportunity for them to delay time.
Just as he ran out, Ghost Wolf was about to turn around and say a few harsh words, when he heard Levi shouting in a slightly frustrated voice: "Ghost Wolf, don't think you can run away, I will find you sooner or later!"
As he spoke, Ghost Wolf saw a light bursting out of the darkness, and some celestial creatures were summoned.
He was suddenly startled and didn't dare to say anything more. In order to avoid more trouble, he decided to slip away.
However, it seems that I cannot turn against Beast Blood Boiling right away, otherwise, with such a huge loss this time, who should I ask for help?
But he was so focused on running away that he didn't notice that in the darkness behind him, there were a number of pitch-black cats carrying some night elves who were most suitable for fighting in the dark.
There were also two natives of the Underdark, a sword dancer from the Moonsinger, and several rat masters who were proficient in invisibility.
They want to track him all the way to see where he will run to!
Only after the Ghost Wolf and the pitifully few remaining soldiers quickly went away did Levi stop pretending and ordered his men to open fire at full power and kill the enemy in front of them as quickly as possible to avoid any other accidents.
As for the Ghost Wolf, to be honest, he only planned to see where the opponent was and had no plans to launch an attack immediately.
If the Ghost Wolf was going there for the purpose of boiling blood, there must be a large number of troops and solid defenses there, which would definitely not be something he could capture in a hurry.
If he was going for the bear goblin demigod, he would not be able to provoke him now.
However, just because he cannot be provoked does not mean that the bear goblin demigod is truly invincible.
Illidan, the demon hunter who was so majestic in the Battle of Black Castle, Pan, the shepherd god who is trying to cling to the elven gods, Sobek, the big crocodile who recently joined the elven pantheon and whose followers’ territory is in the Swineherd Town, and the goddesses Moonbow and Lilith who have been quite active recently...
Surely they wouldn't refuse to take down a mad bugbear demigod?
But that is a matter for later. Now Levi’s primary goal is to kill all the enemies in front of him!
The battle lasted for another quarter of an hour before it gradually came to an end. The main reason was that there were about a few dozen relatively cunning greenskins who chose to retreat into the snakeman's nest when they saw that the situation was not good, which delayed a little time in chasing them.
Although Cai Jin had been very disdainful of the Ghost Wolf before, after seeing him today, Levi thought that the opponent was still very powerful, especially that wave of WAAAGH, which caused heavy losses to his own melee troops and celestial creatures.
In addition, when they finally broke out, they killed almost all the corpses of the reinforcements controlled by the Qin people, which also caused the battle evaluation to drop slightly.
But no matter what, they finally won a resounding victory, and many subordinates were advanced. The most noteworthy one was probably Lisadilan. His long-term efforts, coupled with the battle today, finally allowed him to successfully advance to level 6 and reach his own bottleneck.
Levi decided to directly give him a hero's spirit and make him a new hero.
In this battle, they killed over a thousand enemies, six or seven of whom were indigenous heroes recruited by Ghost Wolf and his men. Combined with Levi's previous accumulation, he had collected four hero spirits, so he didn't have to worry about this in the short term.
Lisadilan naturally bowed deeply to Levi first to express his gratitude.
Although they did not kill Ghost Wolf today for strategic reasons, the heavy casualties and the losses brought to Ghost Wolf were enough to make his life worse than death.
For Lisadilan, this hatred has actually been almost eliminated, and the next step is to be loyal to Lord Levi wholeheartedly!
A few minutes later, Levi had a new hero of level 6/4 under his command.
It has been proven many times that the greater the strength accumulated before becoming a hero, the higher .
Now Risadilan's pure combat attribute is indeed much weaker than when he was at level 6, but the enhancement he gave to his subordinates and their future development prospects are completely incomparable to a level 6 soldier.
He now possesses two combat skills. The first is a very practical elementary leadership skill, and the second is probably a special combat skill brought by his identity as a noble knight-errant - aristocratic demeanor.
Noble demeanor, your elegant manners can better attract people of the same kind, or those who aspire to join the noble sequence. When belonging to a town or village, there will be a lower chance of attracting special soldiers from certain noble sequences.
Levi is not sure about the specific effect for the time being, but after all, it is a rare skill that no one has heard of, so it should not be too bad.
In addition, Lisadilan currently holds the title of lord, which is quite special as it gives him a bonus of 1 point of charm and 100 leadership.
In addition, he himself has rich combat and command experience, so once he becomes a hero unit, he immediately has the ability to fight alone.
Looking at him, and then looking at the snakeman's nest in front of him, which seemed dilapidated after the war but was still quite large in scale, as well as the Qin people next to it who were constantly trampling on the snakeman's corpses to vent their anger and hatred, Levi suddenly had an idea.
If Lisadilan is willing, with the help of these Qin people, he may be able to occupy this village!
Before he asked, Lisadilan himself had already raised this point. He wanted to stay here to continue to encircle and suppress the bear goblins and snake people, and at the same time guard the village for Levi. If someone could replace him in the future, he would follow Levi and fight side by side.
This was exactly what Levi wanted, so he directly appointed him as the village chief of the village called Scarlet Serpent Tongue, and assigned him some sea guards, silver guards, archers and a small number of night elves, and asked him to cooperate with the Qin people to garrison here together.
Levi didn’t care whether it developed or not for the time being. He was already satisfied that it could serve as an outpost leading to the Underdark, or a temporary resting place during battles.
The Avalons who had been following him naturally came along as well. They had extremely rich combat experience and were perfect for serving as his deputies.
As for the other cavalry archers, they were all assigned to Julia. After all, the complex terrain of the Underdark did not allow for many places suitable for horses to move.
In fact, the geographical environment of Scarlet Serpent itself is very conducive to defense. If it is equipped with a large number of archers, it will not be a problem to resist two to three times the number of enemy troops in a short period of time.
If the Qin people officially become their vassals, the various corpses controlled by them will be perfect cannon fodder.
This place is not particularly far from Zhuguan Town. If we really encounter a strong enemy, reinforcements will arrive soon.
Moreover, Levi also specifically reminded Lisadilan that if he really encountered an irresistible powerful enemy, there was no need to fight hard. He should run away first and take revenge later.
All of this is done for the sake of safety, not seeking achievement, but avoiding mistakes.
Lisadilan naturally responded to all of their requests, and then he asked Levi about the future development strategy of the village.
The Scarlet Serpent Letter was originally occupied by the snake people. Since the snake people themselves are a barbaric race that loves killing and plundering, its various internal facilities can be said to be in a mess.
Apart from a tavern, in Levi's opinion, there were only two places of real value in the village.
The first place is a large area of scarlet snake grass, which is also the origin of the name of this village. They are some relatively precious raw materials that can be used to extract poison and apply it to weapons or arrows to enhance the damage.
Of course, if used together with other medicinal materials, they can also be used to make some detoxification potions.
Levi does not have any farmers under his command for the time being, but those Qin people are the hardest working people. It is impossible to make a fortune by planting and cultivating for a long time, but it is also a good source of money.
The second place is a small dark-light iron mine. As the name suggests, it produces some iron ores that can emit a faint black light.
Weapons made with them will have weak dark attribute attacks, and armor will have some dark attribute resistance. In the Underdark, their value may be even higher than the former.
Unfortunately, the snake people are not good at housekeeping and work, which resulted in the two buildings being in a very dilapidated state. They need to be renovated and repaired before they can be officially put into use.
Fortunately, the snake people left a considerable amount of wood and stone in the warehouse, which was enough for them to use even after they had built houses, chevaux de frise and wooden walls.
In addition, there are two barracks in the village, which can recruit snake maniacs and snake warriors respectively, but Levi has no interest in these evil camps. He plans to go back and ask the Sun Knight if he is interested. If he doesn't want it, he will just tear it down and exchange it for resources.
Well, by the way, we can temporarily borrow some younger brothers from him or Master to help defend the village. It won’t take too long. After killing the bear goblin demigod, I believe the village’s defense will be completely complete.
After roughly discussing the overall plan, Zhou Miyin also took his subordinates to count the gains from this battle.
Although he has become a heroic unit, he still likes doing this kind of work very much and seems to get some pleasure from it, so Levi just lets him do it.
As always, the weapons used by the greenskins were mostly junk that Levi looked down upon, but the heroic units were all well-equipped, with at least dozens of blue or green equipment provided, so that everyone, mainly the warrior units, got a few things more or less.
There are still a lot of equipment that does not match their race or profession, which can be handed over to the Sun Knight to sell on their behalf.
Looking at it this way, even if he doesn't count the village itself, just looking at the various equipment, supplies and gold coins, a rough calculation shows that there are at least enough for him to recruit two or three new troops. Not only can he make up for the losses this time, but he can also expand the army slightly again, which makes Levi very satisfied.
Although this kind of large-scale battle is extremely risky and if you fail, you may lose a large number of troops and get no spoils at all, but if you win, the rewards will be amazing.
Apart from anything else, even if Bitao Village has gradually developed now, it still takes a lot of talent to make so much money.
The most valuable of all the spoils was the shield worn around the waist of the ogre hero.
The guy was nearly five meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. When he used the shield to protect his stomach, the shield looked inconspicuous, but when he took it off, it was enough to become a very suitable shield for medium-sized humanoid creatures like Levi or Alduin.
Vanguard Shield (Purple – Epic):
Effect 1, health +50;
Effect 2, Damage Block. If you successfully block the opponent's attack, the physical damage will be reduced by 16-32 points.
Effect 3, restore 3 health points per second.
(A powerful shield that allows the holder to dodge the most deadly attacks)
In Levi's opinion, the introduction of this shield is still a bit conservative. After possessing it, as long as the hero is not beaten up by a group of people like the ogre hero this time, the ability to survive on the battlefield will be improved many times.
However, even though Levi currently has only two people using shields, Zhou Miyin and Alduin, he is still somewhat troubled about who should own this shield.
Zhou Miyin was an old subordinate who had followed him for a long time and led the charge in every battle, but Alduin was the one he was trying to conquer...
After a little consideration, he finally gave the shield to Alduin. At worst, he could make it up to Zhou Miyin in other ways later.
During a previous chat, he had learned that the guy had always had a dream, which was to command an army composed entirely of Zhendan soldiers, and he hoped to become a cavalry commander and gallop on the battlefield.
But later, by chance, he became a professional line-holding infantryman who took beatings. It has to be said that fate played tricks on him.
Although his position in his own army has been almost fixed, if the time permits, it may not be impossible for him to try other options.
Because Li Wei had already found out clearly that there was a profession called military general in the Zhendan Dynasty, who was skilled in archery and horse riding. He could charge into the enemy and also serve as infantry to hold the line, which was just right for him.
Alduin didn't care at first, he was happily discussing combat experiences with Elegy beside him. But when he took the shield and saw the properties of it clearly, even he, who had a somewhat carefree personality, became a little surprised.
This shield weighed only a few dozen kilograms, but at this moment it was like a small mountain, not only pressing on his hands, but also on his heart.
Even for him, a dragonborn, epic items are not something he can easily see, let alone own, because behind every epic item there is a legend of a true hero.
How could he be so worthy of being just friends with Levi at the moment?
He was not a fool, so he naturally understood why Levi was so good to him. After carefully thinking about every detail since they met, he made a resolute decision.
"Levi, I think I should give up my previous promise. Since you can be so generous to me, why should I wait any longer?"
"I wonder if you can accommodate a bronze dragonborn paladin under your command now?"
Li Wei was immediately overjoyed: "Of course, I welcome it very much!"
Following a system prompt, Levi also gained a hero-level subordinate. Naturally, he looked at the other party's attribute column first.
Name: Alduin
Alignment: Lawful Good
Faction: Ocean - Bronze Dragon
Race: Bronze Dragonborn
Class: Paladin (Battle Hero - Blue - Rare)
Faith: Bahamut, the God of Good Dragons
Level: Level 10
Combat attributes: Strength 20, Agility 10, Constitution 15, Intelligence 3, Perception 6, Charisma 8.
Health = Constitution X10X1.0 (professional adjustment) X2 (hero) + 10X4 (level and professional adjustment) + Constitution X2 (strong) = 370
Mana = Intelligence x 10 x 0.4 (professional adjustment) x 2 (hero) + 10 x 3 (level and professional adjustment) = 54
Racial Talents:
1. Bronze Dragonborn, grants the ability to breathe water, swim, and see in the dark;
2. Dragon bloodline, life recovery speed increased by 300%, defense +9.
Career Talents:
1. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: proficiency with all simple and martial weapons, all types of armor, and all types of shields (except tower shields).
2. Use Detect Evil at will.
Then came a bunch of weapon specialties and paladin skills. Levi glanced at them but didn't pay much attention to them because, like most paladins, Alduin was inclined to defense and fighting against evil.
There are also some passive skills that allow immunity to fatigue, immunity to trance, and immunity to nausea, which are also commonly used when guarding against evil races. It is estimated that even if magic such as Stink Cloud can still allow him to smell the stench, its impact on his actual combat effectiveness will definitely not be that great.
But unlike other paladins, Alduin has almost no spells except for the symbolic spells of cure light wounds and blessing holy water. It seems that he still prefers close combat.
Next is the transformation skill that Alduin comprehended at level 10. Even if he transforms into a half-dragon form, his attack, defense and dragon bloodline skills will be enhanced, and he will also have an additional lightning breath skill.
But compared with the 5th-level magic that Levi mastered - Dragon Breath, his move is actually a lot weaker. And unlike Levi who can use it continuously as long as the magic points are sufficient, his move has a cooling time of dozens of seconds after using it once, which is quite limited.
The equipment he had on him was all suitable for him, alternating between blue and green, so Levi didn't need to prepare anything extra for him in the short term.
But overall, his abilities are comparable to Elegy's. One emphasizes offense, the other emphasizes defense. They are both combat heroes, so if they really fight, it will be difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
After reading it, Levi nodded to Alduin again with great satisfaction. Since he had decided to follow him wholeheartedly in the future, he would definitely not treat the other party unfairly.
After formally pledging allegiance, Alduin chuckled, returned to his original appearance, and asked Levi if he had any large-scale battle plans recently.
Levi was a little confused for a moment. Of course there were big plans, and more than one. Whether it was the bear goblin demigod, the old black dragon, or the vampire who wanted to become a god, they were all very big.
However, with their current strength, even if they just go to make a cameo appearance, they might be killed instantly by the aftermath of the battle, and the danger is extremely great.
He simply asked the other party directly what his intention was.
Then he realized that Alduin had taken a fancy to the location of this village and wanted to find his enemies to fight here.
Of course Levi would not refuse. With the cooperation of him and Lisadilan, plus enough troops, the defense of this place would become more solid.
With a casual glance, he saw that the Rat Masters who went to track the Ghost Wolf had been sent back to their original world because the duration had expired, but Luna, the Huntress and the Sword Dancers had not returned yet.
It took half an hour to walk here, which means that the Ghost Wolf's original base was quite far away from here.
However, judging from their condition, Luna and the others should be safe for the time being, so he felt a little relieved.
Now we just have to wait for them to return safely, and then we will communicate with the Qin people and ask them to help build and maintain the village. Then we will look at the specific information and decide on the next plan.
While he was thinking about it, he heard his subordinates report that Luna and the others had returned, and he immediately went to greet them.
Then he saw Luna, who used to be calm and composed in the face of any powerful enemy, and the sword dancers, who always paid great attention to their demeanor, now all had faces full of fear.
As for the female hunters, they were in even worse condition. Even the black panthers that served as their mounts were visibly weak in the legs. They were not ridden back, but walked back behind the female hunters.
Perhaps that was why it took them a little longer.
He immediately felt that something was wrong, but the opponent's health was still full, and he didn't have any debuffs on his body. It looked like he hadn't been attacked at all. Why was he behaving ?
Thinking of this, he became a little excited, because this seemed to be the only possibility...
"Sir, we found the place where the ghost wolf stayed. It was a very ordinary small village, but inside it there was a black claw totem that was more than ten meters tall, and a bear goblin that was almost as tall and blood-red."
"Although it was eating and didn't notice us at all, when we saw it for the first time, we were filled with endless fear, and we haven't recovered from it even now!"
Levi was immediately ecstatic, because everything Luna said was consistent with what Michaela had told him before, the three most direct ways to identify the Fear Demigod of the Bugbears - Skiggret!
