The drow were not stupid either. Although they didn't know that Levi had deliberately let them go, as they saw more and more of their own casualties, a drow priest soon took the lead in running away, and then the other drow chose to follow.
Xiaotian and the guards led the celestial creatures in pursuit, but as they had animal characteristics and no effective protective equipment, they were not good at frontal combat.
But this kind of pursuit is not dangerous. It requires more speed, which is undoubtedly their advantage. Moreover, if they attack the enemy from behind, the critical hit rate and other aspects will be improved to a certain extent, which will be more beneficial to their pursuit.
Luna also brought the female hunters to assist. In the previous battles, they did not have much room to play, but in this kind of mopping-up operation, their advantages can be quickly reflected.
Punisher and Cindy went straight to the leading drow priest.
Because they all keenly realized that the other party not only did not try to escape, but was fighting desperately. She even gathered a small group of diehards and joined forces with several other drow priests, and was using an evil summoning magic!
Unfortunately, it was already a little late when they discovered it, and the other party was hiding in the deepest part of the valley, some distance away from them, so they were unable to stop the other party's actions in time.
With a flash of light, their magic had succeeded.
First, five or six amorphous mud monsters emerged from it, and then quickly turned into giant candles two meters high that kept melting.
In the middle of these large candles, there is a terrifying blood-red eyeball, and eight whip-like tentacles are twisting on its sides.
The Punisher suddenly roared: "Damn demon!"
Cindy exclaimed softly, "Ah, it's the wax melting monster!"
Levi also frowned slightly. These demons called wax melts came from the bottomless abyss. They were quite powerful and proficient in transformation. They could change freely between big candles, female drow, mutant spiders and mist forms.
Some stronger wax melts will choose professions such as bard, priest or warlock, which can further enhance their combat effectiveness, but that is just good enough and not worth his fear.
In fact, as a hero chosen by God, there is nothing that is truly worthy of his fear.
But what he was afraid of was the other party's identity. Waxmelts were usually believed to be the maids and messengers of the Spider Queen Rose. Once they were killed, they would almost certainly come into the Spider Queen Rose's sight. Being targeted by that ferocious female spider was not a good thing.
But he was just a little afraid. Even if he did nothing, Spider Queen Rose would hate all the high elves. What's more, it would not only be them who would take action next, but also the punishers under Sigmar!
After the summoning was completed, the drow priest took out some chain mail, skirt armor, maces, swords, etc. from the space ring. They were similar in shape to hers and sparkled with bright silver light. They were all forged from mithril.
The hardness of Mithril is similar to that of steel, but it is much lighter than steel, and has a chance of adding additional agility attributes. Therefore, it is very valuable and is very popular among professions such as priests and rangers.
Although compared to most races, the drow, as the overlords of the Underdark, can more easily obtain special materials such as mithril, but the fact that this drow priest can produce so many mithril creations at one time shows how wealthy she is. Her status in the city of Ostak is by no means ordinary.
But it is no wonder. Although the drow are more populous than the dark elves and high elves, the drow are not a race known for their large population. The fact that she can lead thousands of troops already speaks volumes about her identity and status.
With a few screams, the wax melts quickly transformed into charming, slender female drow elves, and began to equip themselves with chain armor, weapons, etc.
But the Punisher, who was originally planning to launch an attack, turned pale and subconsciously covered Cindy's eyes with his hands. The big loli couldn't help but scream "Ah", and even Levi and others behind him couldn't help but be stunned.
Because after these wax-melting monsters transform, they are all fully naked!
Although we have just seen their true appearance, many people still can't help but have some fantasies. They really look very beautiful after the transformation!
Donna and Elegy looked at each other, then chuckled at the same time, because they both felt that they had won in some way.
Just as their movements slowed down a little, the wax-melts were already fully armed and stood in front of the drow priests, with spells flashing one after another. It seemed that most of them had acquired the priest level part-time and were determined to continue resisting.
The Punisher also raised his hammer again and attacked the opponent immediately.
Because he suddenly realized a problem. These wax-melting monsters were only wearing armor, and there was nothing inside? He couldn't let them pollute Cindy's eyes!
Cindy also launched an attack immediately. Although it was the first time she saw such a scene, which made her a little shy, she always remembered that the other party was a devil, an evil person, and an enemy!
The harpies in the air also took advantage of the situation to launch an attack. Although they had just been badly beaten by the drow priests with many casualties, they now had friendly forces to resist them in front of them, so they could launch a sneak attack.
He originally thought that the other party would fight to the death, but unexpectedly, when the Punisher hit a wax-melting monster with two consecutive hammers, cleanly and neatly blew up all the defenses and turned it back into a large pool of motionless liquid candle, all the remaining drow immediately scattered and began to flee, which made him stunned again.
He was a holy knight during his lifetime. Due to his devout faith and unremitting pursuit of justice, he was able to ascend to the kingdom of gods after his death. However, this was his first time dealing with the drow. Their current behavior seemed to be completely different from what was said in the legend?
Cindy next to her also felt a little uncomfortable, because the opponent threw out a lot of dark fog when he was running away, which not only affected her vision to a certain extent, but also made it impossible for her to catch the opponent's leader.
But Levi in ​​the back laughed instead, not only because as the enemy fled, the other drow and their slave armies on the battlefield began to retreat in an all-round way.
Moreover, it was because he had seen through the other party's true purpose. They had done so many things, wasn't it just to pass off fake things as genuine?
Otherwise, why didn't they even cast a dark spell when they were running away? It was because the wax melt couldn't cast the drow's dark spell!
But if you think you can get away with it just by doing this, then you are being too naive!
"Cindy, sixty meters northwest, the fourth drow priest!"
While shouting, Levi controlled the battle griffin and released a secret mark on the opponent. Although this low-level magic was cracked by the opponent in the blink of an eye, it was enough for Cindy to see clearly who the real target was.
She immediately flew over with the angels. Since Brother Levi asked her to hunt down this specific target, it could only mean one thing!
The drow priest's expression suddenly turned stern. She had just witnessed the opponent's fighting power. If she was caught up by him, she would not be able to run away even if she wanted to.
However, she did not let other priests delay for her, because at this special moment, she knew that even if she spoke, the other party would ignore her and might even take the opportunity to give her a fatal blow.
Except for those fools who defected to Eilistraee, conspiracy and betrayal filled every aspect of the lives of other drow elves, because that was what Spider Queen Lolth wanted most.
So she just quietly used a special backup plan that she had kept a long time ago, and in the blink of an eye, a drow priest who fled with her suddenly screamed, and his whole body underwent drastic changes.
In less than half a second, she changed from a pretty drow to a monster with the upper body of an elf and the lower body of some giant spider - a spider drow!
The spider-like drow immediately realized that she had been hit. She cursed angrily and raised the warhammer still in her hand, trying to attack it.
At the same time, she did not forget to curse him the most viciously: "Damn you, may the light shine on your head!"
Under normal circumstances, the drow priest would have been furious, but now she smiled sinisterly and activated a spider-shaped magic item in her hand. The spider-shaped drow, who had been aggressive, immediately became blank-eyed and then docile.
Seeing her back-up plans succeeding one after another, the Drow Priest suddenly felt great joy. She had disliked this guy for a long time, and the other party had always been eyeing her position. Now it was the perfect time to completely solve this problem!
But before she could be happy too soon, Cindy's hammer came whistling in accompanied by a gust of wind, instantly breaking through her magic defense and leaving several wounds on her body. The light damage added by the Divine Hammer would undoubtedly cause higher damage to the drow.
Before she could start cursing, Cindy and the angels arrived quickly, followed by the Punisher. Faced with such a siege, the drow priests and spider drow tried to fight back, but no matter how good they were at fighting, they could not compare to the Punisher and Cindy.
Their resistance was completely useless, and they soon turned into two corpses.
All her schemes and tricks could not save her life.
After her death, the remaining drow completely scattered, and looking around, the entire valley was filled with defeated soldiers.
Levi did not order his subordinates to kill all the enemies completely. He just adjusted the troops and asked them to kill some of them as quickly as possible and drive the remaining enemies away from the passage on the west side to welcome the approaching vampires.
Of course, if some enemy forces are too dense and cannot get into the passage in a hurry, he doesn't mind throwing a few fireballs or flaming skulls to help them.
Similarly, magic units such as Sally, Lily and Suifeng also showed their power for a while.
Seeing this, the Punisher did not join in the pursuit. Although he hated evil, he still had some self-respect as a strong man. It would be fine to fight head-on, but it was really beneath his dignity to chase after these miscellaneous soldiers whose ranks were often less than half of his own with hundreds of friendly forces.
Levi didn't care, or rather, this was more to his liking as he didn't have to worry about the other party taking away too much experience points.
He looked at the remaining light element crystals and other things again. He wanted Cindy to confirm with the other party how long he could continue fighting and whether he could be summoned as usual next time.
Then he received good news and some neutral news at the same time.
The good news is that he can at least keep fighting for a quarter of an hour, and then he can respond to Cindy's call again. However, due to the gap in strength between the two sides, it will take at least seven days.
In other words, he could still participate a little in the battle against the vampires, but if other major battles broke out, he would not be able to participate.
After a slight sigh, Levi calmed down. After all, he couldn't always rely on such an incredibly powerful summoned creature. Most of the time, it depended on his own hard power.
Cindy was a little excited, because this meant that she could see her father again every 7 days, and when her strength improved, this time would be further shortened!
Within a few minutes, there were only a few dozen surviving enemies left in the valley.
Levi ordered the most elite troops to prepare to meet up with the dwarves who had arrived at the entrance of the valley and set up a defense line together. He asked Suifeng to lead the golem troops to continue blocking the passage on the west side to prevent the drow from returning.
Xiaotian and the Jianbing cleaned up the remaining enemies, while the weaker and faster fox girls and cat girls under Caijin were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. The other troops recovered their combat effectiveness as quickly as possible and prepared to continue fighting the enemy.
As for himself, he went straight to the location of the God-given building.
The reason for fighting such a battle today is certainly to weaken the enemy's strength, but isn't it also to occupy the God-given building?
"You have discovered the God-given building - the Magic Mercury Refining Room (currently occupied by - Ostak City - Os Family). You have defeated all the defenders. Please choose to occupy, plunder, destroy or abandon it?"
There is no doubt that Levi chose to occupy it. Now they have the strength to enjoy such wealth.
Moreover, even if we take a step back, once they occupy this place, they probably won't need to actively look for the enemy, as the enemy will come running over and provide them with a steady stream of experience points, right?
"Occupy it successfully. It will provide you with 10.5 (+0.5) units of magic mercury every day."
Seeing this, Levi finally understood why the drow were willing to send out thousands of troops. In addition to wanting to ambush possible enemies, the value of this God-given building must also be one of the reasons.
He had inquired about it before. One unit of magic mercury was worth between 4 and 5 gold coins. If there was a large-scale war or other special circumstances where advanced healing potions were urgently needed, its value would increase further. Moreover, they were usually priceless and the demand far exceeded the supply.
As long as they occupied this place, they would earn at least 50 gold coins every day. No wonder those drow would not hesitate to go to war with the undead.
But what does that +0.5 mean?
So after a brief search around this building that looked like an automated mine, Levi easily found a small silver bottle. It turned out to be the mercury bottle, one of the combination treasures he had been looking for!
Should I keep it here to provide the 0.5 bonus, or combine it into a complete set of treasures?
There is no need to hesitate at all!
As the light flickered, the four treasures quickly merged into one, and a brand new horn appeared in Levi's hand.
Sulfur Ring + Gem Ring + Crystal Cloak + Mercury Aquarius = Horn of Harvest!
Horn of Harvest (Rare Item - Blue - Excellent): Provides 4 units of sulfur, crystal, gemstone and mercury each day.
(A combination of treasures that can continuously provide multiple resources)
Even with Levi's calmness, he couldn't help but smile. The values ​​of these four materials were different, but totaling 16 units per day, the value was roughly between 35 and 40 gold coins.
Adding on the income from the magic mercury refining room and several villages that are gradually getting back on track, it is roughly estimated that he can earn hundreds of gold coins every day.
Even after deducting the expenses for supplies for the defenders, there was still a huge surplus, so he no longer needed to worry about money for the time being.
At this time, Suifeng had already killed the last big spider, and the system prompt popped up immediately. They had won another great victory.
Although the system's evaluation was not particularly high, that was definitely not because the opponents were not strong enough, but simply because they had suffered too much casualties.
Only less than 10 ogres on the front line under Cindy were left dead, and they played the role of cannon fodder perfectly. Although the elven rangers were agile, their foundation was weak after all, and nearly half of them were killed.
Other Silver Guards, Sea Guards and even archers also suffered casualties, mainly because the drow's poison and magic were too powerful. Many times the priests had no time to rescue them and they had already died.
With him like this, the troops of Suifeng, Caijin and others were in even more trouble, especially Caijin. During the raid on the drow mages, although the time was extremely short, they still killed more than 300 harpies in total, which greatly dragged down the system's evaluation.
If they hadn't killed enough strong enemies, the evaluation would probably be lower.
However, Levi did not complain at all. Instead, he decided to compensate her with more spoils, because if it weren't for the harpies' sacrifice, his subordinates might have died!
This was followed by a series of upgrade and advancement prompts. After several days of fighting, all the subordinates who survived until now had accumulated a lot of experience points. Coincidentally, this great battle had also allowed their strength to be improved to a certain extent.
"Your campaign level has been raised to 9."
"Your combat level increases by 13, and you can choose new magic."
"The current random magic list is:
Level 3 magic: Hama Demon Barbed Body Protection;
Tier 4 magic: Sharpfang Trap, Evil Gaze, Mass Giant Transformation, Spirit World Mount;
Level 5 magic: Bigby's protective palm, advanced shrinking spell, Dautim's flame tentacles. "
This time, Levi didn't have to think about anything, he directly chose Bigby's Protective Palm.
Bigby was once a very famous human wizard. He invented many powerful magics named after him, from level 0 to level 9, a total of 10 magics.
This series of magic is also jokingly called Bigby's Big Slap or Bigby's Big Bag by the chosen heroes.
Their strength lies in the fact that they are all position-based magic, which is difficult to be cracked by conventional magic. They are also extremely powerful in defense against physical attacks and are the preferred choice among magic of the same level.
And like Cindy's psychic hammer, they are also summoned by magic and have a certain basic combat awareness. They can provide very good assistance and protection to the mage in battle.
However, this does not mean that they really have no shortcomings, and they may even have more than one shortcoming.
The first is that they often consume more magic than magic of the same level. The second is that there are few channels for learning them and the difficulty of learning is very high.
But these shortcomings only apply to indigenous mages. For a God-chosen hero like Levi, this is not a problem at all!
Bigby's Protective Palm (Level 5): Active skill, consumes 130 magic points, creates a huge standing palm that always floats between you and the target, blocking the target and obscuring the caster.
Any hiding and stealth skills are ineffective against this palm. It cannot actively attack, but it can change targets.
The palm area is 3X3 meters, the basic health is equal to your health (with additional bonuses from your constitution and intelligence), the physical defense and magic resistance are (your level + intelligence) X1.5, and the duration is 1 minute/each level.
Levi suddenly became more and more delighted. He was not bragging. Among all the God-chosen hero mages, there were really only a few who had more life than him.
Moreover, he is now level 13, with 20 points of intelligence. When he summons Bigby's protective palm, he will have nearly 50 points of defense and magic resistance. For soldiers below level 5, this value will be like an insurmountable mountain.
The only thing that made him sigh was that it was indeed the Bigby series with extremely high mana consumption. The 4th-level ice storm was only 65 points, which was directly doubled.
"Donna's combat level has been raised to 11, and she has gained the expertise - Tenacity."
Toughness, a specialty, in all special situations involving physical fitness, including but not limited to negative states such as bleeding, fatigue, suffocation, exhaustion, etc., resistance is slightly improved.
How to say it, it is basically not used in normal times. After all, apart from magic units such as Levi and Sally, Donna is the best protected, because her existence is directly related to the output ability of most of her own archers.
"Elegy's combat level is raised to 10, and she gains the feat - Dual Weapon Rend."
Dual Weapon Rend, a feat that allows you to inflict devastating wounds on a target with both of your weapons, with a high chance of causing it to become Rend and Bleed.
Rend, you deal increased damage to it.
Bleeding, continuous loss of health.
Then Julia, Xiaotian and the Supervisor also made progress, but Levi didn't care so much about it, because as they fought side by side for longer and longer periods of time, the gap between these heroic units under his command began to become larger and larger.
At present, the only heroes that are truly worthy of his focus are Donna, Elegy, Cindy, and the newly joined Alduin and Nar.
The witch Diva who was still in Bitao Village could barely be considered one, and Lisa Dilan was also okay, but as for the others...
It cannot be said that they are bad. Compared with those heroes recruited by others who have disabilities and other defects, they can be considered excellent. It's a pity that they are afraid of comparison.
And this is also directly related to their position in the team. Even if Julia or the supervisor are not there, it will not have much impact on his battle. But if Donna is no longer there, it will be completely different.
Other non-hero subordinates also advanced. What made Levi particularly happy was that Bayoru, who had also followed him earlier, finally advanced to level 5 this time and comprehended the special abilities of a Hole elephant man.
Summon celestial companions. As a typical celestial creature that worships goodness, the Hole Elephant Man can try to summon another Hole Elephant Man or Asura to help in battle. The opponent's class will most likely be the same as the summoner.
If the summoning is successful, you will need to spend a certain amount of gold coins, light element crystals, or respond to the other party's summons next time as the cost.
The number of times this skill can be used per day is based on your tier, currently 5.
Although there are certain limitations, Levi thinks it's not bad. There is no need to mention the Holley elephant man. Although his movements are a little slow, he is still very useful on the battlefield. If not, he can serve as a meat shield.
As for Asura, other God-chosen heroes also summoned him. They looked like humanoid creatures with bird-like claws and a pair of flaming wings behind their backs.
They have extremely strong resistance to fire, and can use flaming scimitars, flaming bows and flaming wings to fight. They basically wear armor and hold round shields. Their defense is much stronger than that of ordinary sub-sky, and they can be regarded as a super-powered version of the winged elves.
Like the angels, they were also accustomed to being loyal to the gods, but perhaps because of this, they had a fierce competition with the angels. Although they would not fight because they were all on the good side, it was inevitable that they disliked each other.
But no matter what, the level 5 reinforcements will surely help Bayorudo gain a lot of experience points.
According to the report from Inspector Yakong, the vampires were still some distance away from here and had not been discovered for the time being, so Levi took advantage of this time to divide the spoils.
Everyone suffered heavy losses just now. Although we gained a lot of experience points, we also need material encouragement.
It’s no wonder that the drow are worthy of being the dominant race in the Underdark. They are indeed very rich. They harvested more than 500 gold coins alone.
The space ring of the leading drow priest was also received by them intact. Generally speaking, this thing is bound, but this is the first time they have seized it directly.
They found a large number of weapons and armor used by grave warriors and vampires, a lot of negative energy crystals, and 21 units of magic mercury, which seemed to be the output of the past two days.
All these miscellaneous items combined are worth about five or six hundred gold coins.
In addition, there are a large number of long swords, crossbows, poisons, etc. used by drow warriors.
The more valuable ones undoubtedly come from the drow priests and mages. The former provides a dozen pieces of mithril chain mail and three black drow rune vests, all of which are blue quality.
In addition to its good defense and certain magic resistance, the Mithril Chain Mail can also increase the agility attribute by 1-2 points. Naturally, Levi immediately arranged one for Cindy, Donna and Julia.
Normally they only wear leather armor and not chain mail, because armor that is too heavy will affect their combat performance.
But because mithril is light enough, it may be lighter than ordinary leather armor, so they can all be equipped with it.
The Drow Rune Vest can increase magic resistance by 5 points and can be equipped at the same time as other armor. Levi thought about it and gave it to Cindy, Elegy and Alduin. Zhou Miyin is not here for the time being, so these three are the most vulnerable to enemy magic attacks.
There were also some mithril war hammers, mithril swords and the like, which were also distributed to them. At the last glance, it was Julia, who had not put in much effort in this battle, who had undergone a great transformation and gained the most.
However, no one can use a few snake-head whips, because they not only require weapon specialization, but also have camp restrictions, otherwise those poisonous snakes may bite back.
They also dropped a variety of priest-specific skills, and it was through them that Levi seemed to understand why those vampires were defeated so quickly.
Command the undead. Priests who harness negative energy can enslave undead creatures. The effect is based on their own perception and level.
Invisibility to undead. Lesser, nonsapient undead creatures (such as skeletons, zombies, etc.) cannot see, hear, or smell the creature protected by this spell in any way until it launches an attack or spell.
With these two spells, no matter how many low-level undead there are, they will have no effect on the drow priests, and may even become a help to them.
Unfortunately, the priests under Levi are all priests who control positive energy. They can only learn to become invisible to the undead, but cannot learn to command the undead, so Levi assigned the latter to other people.
The drow spider master dropped two spider staffs, which can release poison rays and summon giant spiders. They are good backup staffs. Because Sally declined, Levi gave them to Nar and Lily.
An elite spider master dropped four magic spells at once. Levi didn't care too much at first, as he was just surprised at his good luck. However, when he saw clearly those magic spells and several matching stick-shaped objects of different sizes and very suspicious, his expression became a little strange.
Because those magics were Enlargement, Grease, Magic Tentacles and Vibration Shock, he immediately thought of a long-standing story.
It is said that a shadow dragon was once captured by female drow. It didn't take the lustful dragon long to go from ecstasy to shock and then to a desperate escape.
In the end, the whole dragon was so thin that it was unrecognizable, but after ten months or so, the drow had a lot of half-dragon and half-drow as their fighting force.
Although the dragon race is extremely lustful and can be aroused by almost all living things, so there are countless strange dragon descendants, but the female drow are not much inferior...
The drow wizards also dropped some gadgets, but unfortunately most of the magic was single-target magic related to spiders, poison, etc. They would be very useful in a one-on-one fight, but for Levi who had already mastered powerful magic such as Fireball and Flame Skull, they were of little significance.
So Levi gave most of them to Suifeng, Caijin and others, and he only took one book on the art of necromancy.
Undead Hold (Level 3), an active skill, consumes 35 magic points. The affected undead creatures will be unable to move (up to 3 at a time). If the immobilized undead creatures are attacked or damaged, the effect ends. The success rate and duration are based on the intelligence, level, magic resistance, etc. of both parties.
If this is combined with the two skills of the drow priests, as well as more abilities against the undead that they may have, it is no wonder that those guys from the Silver Blood Army were beaten so badly.
If Levi and Suifeng also mastered these abilities, they could easily defeat the strong with the weak!
It can only be said that the undead have too many weaknesses. Even the best among them, the vampires, are often only known to have a long lifespan. But unfortunately, unless they stay in the tomb and never come out, they basically cannot live to one tenth of their upper limit of lifespan.
Adventurers, paladins, good-aligned members like the Harper, and even other evil-aligned people among the natives all like to beat them up because their weaknesses are obvious and they are often very rich.
After all, they were good at controlling corpses and liked to dig graves, so it was easy for them to obtain a large number of burial objects.
It is absolutely impossible for the good camp to rob tombs, but after killing the vampires, they can confiscate the stolen goods that were originally burial objects, and they can do it with a clear conscience.
Similarly, the fact that these drow defeated the Silver Blood Army so easily and efficiently might have been due to this factor, right?
