Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 300: Dracula's Descendants
After dividing the spoils, everyone's morale was boosted. Even Cai Jin, who suffered the most losses, was very satisfied, because Levi had just favored her very much and gave her a lot of extra spoils and negative energy crystals worth over a hundred dollars.
It's totally worth exchanging hundreds of useless harpies for these things!
Now she had gradually understood that the harpies were not only weak in the initial stage. Even if they were barely trained to become wind wizards and lightning wizards, they were still very weak. And this was basically their limit. They could only be used in the initial stage.
In fact, in her recent battles, she has begun to gradually abandon them and instead concentrate resources on cultivating stronger Dapeng and Red Flame War Eagles, etc.
Similarly, Suifeng and the others were also very satisfied, so they all tacitly did not mention anything about the God-given building. Levi contributed the most, so it was natural for him to get the biggest share. If they were too greedy, there would be no way they could cooperate for long.
After finishing these, let a younger brother stay with the golem to guard the passage.
Under normal circumstances, slow movement is their biggest weakness, but if it is just to guard the passage, it is the most suitable thing for them to do. Even if the drow elves really have the courage to strike back, they can at least hold on until the arrival of reinforcements.
Cai Jin also asked her to send a group of catwomen to thoroughly search the entire valley to prevent the possibility of other secret places. Levi led the remaining troops to the valley to set up defenses.
This time, Cai Jin and others felt much more relaxed. Although they had just experienced a great battle and suffered heavy losses, they still had a total of nearly three thousand troops.
Unless the other side has an extremely powerful hero, as long as you defend the valley, the undead hordes that are several times your number will not be able to attack you easily.
Everyone knows that the Undead are extremely short of long-range troops and can only rely on the magic of the Necromancers and vampires among them. However, both the dwarves and the high elves are very strong in long-range attacks.
And now they have almost figured out that the different forces of the undead in the Underdark have extremely distinct characteristics.
Velsharoon's followers are good at transforming various undead creatures and reviving low-level undead cannon fodder on the battlefield;
Herman Gost is good at assisting with various corpse transporters, including amplifying, healing and resurrecting the undead, as well as affecting the spellcasting efficiency of enemy mages;
Dracula's army is mainly composed of vampires and their followers, and the followers have quite the military presence, and are likely to have received professional training;
As for the Silver Blood Army, since they had never dealt with the other side before, and these guys were defeated too quickly in the battle with the drow, so relatively speaking, there is the least information about them.
However, judging from the spoils the drow obtained from them, they should be the most common kind of undead, with a mix of various types of troops, but no particularly outstanding features.
While setting up the formation and casting various summoning and auxiliary magics, Levi also looked at the dwarfs' army.
It's true that Rune Blacksmith Hans really put in a lot of effort for this battle. Not to mention a large number of conventional troops such as dwarf warriors, warriors, crossbowmen, musketeers, butchers, he even brought five hatred catapults and two cannons.
In addition to being generally equipped with heavy armor, the dwarves are often most famous for their various gunpowder weapons, and the cannon is undoubtedly a very famous war machine among them.
And unlike the Eagle Claw crossbow that Levi owns, which can only fire straight in most cases, their cannons and catapults can cross certain obstacles and attack the enemy's rear positions in an arc. The effect is somewhat similar to Donna's projectile skill.
This resulted in the dwarf troops carrying catapults and cannons fighting in a very different way from regular troops.
They could just use artillery to bombard the enemy's long-range forces first, and then force the enemy to launch an attack on their highly defensive positions. If they could kill all the enemy's archers, the impact on the battle situation would be enormous.
In addition, most of the dwarf's troops are very tough, which means that other races really don't want to provoke them unless it is necessary.
Well, in fact, this is also one of the reasons why Levi subconsciously ignored the Chaos Dwarves in the north when considering the future development direction after conquering the haunted town.
To deal with this kind of enemy, no matter whether we can win in the end, we will definitely pay a high price.
While checking whether there were any loopholes in the formation, Levi was thinking about how to ask the question. If he could purchase some cannons from the dwarves, he would definitely gain more advantages in the next battle against the undead.
But before he could figure it out, Stump brought the latest news that the vampires seemed to have discovered his helicopter and were speeding towards this place.
Although they were deliberately conducting covert reconnaissance, the steam-powered helicopter would inevitably make some noise.
Levi immediately increased his attention and ordered all troops to be on high alert.
Less than 5 minutes later, a large number of vampire clansmen wearing armor and holding swords and shields or guns and shields appeared in their sight in neat formations. They looked very imposing, just like a regular army.
But Levi and the others were not afraid at all, because they knew that these vampire followers were basically quick-made and inferior products.
Often when vampires are in urgent need of a large number of cannon fodder, some middle and low-level vampire nobles will ignore their own consumption and forcibly produce a large number of followers.
Compared with real vampires, in addition to inheriting the characteristics of photophobia and blood-sucking, they have lost many special abilities, such as the most important spellcasting ability of vampires.
Seeing that the enemy was approaching rapidly, Levi asked his subordinates to get ready. The dwarves loaded ammunition and were ready to launch an attack.
But suddenly, for some unknown reason, the vampires stopped where they were. After a brief panic, they turned around and ran, quickly disappearing from their sight.
Everyone was stunned by this accident, even Levi was a little confused.
But soon Cai Jin's harpies discovered clues. Among those vampires, there were five or six evil alien races such as cave dwellers, Kuo-Toa fishmen, and several heroic units with magic equipment.
Behind the vampires were thousands of humans in tattered clothes who appeared to be slaves.
Now Levi and the others immediately understood most of the situation. There must be a hero chosen by God among these vampires.
Because apart from some adventure teams, there are very few indigenous peoples mixed together like this, not to mention that the vampires claim to be the nobility of the dark night and look down on races like cavemen. They won't even go to cavemen for blood sucking, let alone incorporate them into the army.
No wonder they chose to retreat so easily after seeing their own army. The heroes chosen by God never do anything without benefits, and they are best at changing their attitude according to the situation.
As for those slaves, whether they were prepared as food for vampires or for transformation into undead, for Levi and his men, rescuing them was an imperative matter.
Moreover, they originally mistakenly thought that the other side had more than 2,000 troops, so they treated them so cautiously. But now half of the other side are slaves, and they are led by a hero chosen by God. No matter how strong they are, their strength is limited. What do they have to worry about?
"Hans, please stay here. Stump, take your helicopter troops and come with me. Suifeng, you also take the faster troops to pursue. As for the other slower infantry, half of them will stay to defend, and the other half will follow!"
As for Levi's own direct troops, he only brought Luna's huntresses, the faster celestial creatures, flying soldiers such as griffins and giant eagles, and finally Cindy and other heroic subordinates.
Although Donna and Elegy can neither fly nor have mounts suitable for the special terrain of the Underdark, Levi can cast the spell of flight on them, so they can still chase the enemy.
But at the same time, he also made up his mind that after the battle here was over, he should prepare higher-level riding skills for them as soon as possible so that they could ride griffins or giant eagles to fight as much as possible.
After quickly issuing a series of orders, Levi turned to look at what would likely be the main force in the next battle: "Cai Jin, I'm going to have to work hard for you again."
Ordinary vampire followers are fine, but real vampires can fly. When there are no large number of archers participating in the battle, they still have to rely on flying troops to contain them.
Cai Jin smiled and said, "If every sacrifice can be rewarded, we won't refuse it~"
Levi also smiled: "Of course, I will not treat unfairly any friend who is sincere to me."
Since they were all fast troops, it only took them a few minutes to quickly catch up with the enemy.
There was no intention of greeting the other party at all. Levi started with a flaming skull, and Suifeng and others followed suit. All of a sudden, all kinds of magic rained down, and instantly a huge gap was blasted out in the vampire army.
At the same time, Cai Jin also commanded the harpies to rush forward. Before the real battle began, a large number of wind blades and lightning arrows had already flown out, causing further casualties to the enemy.
Although more than half of her harpies were killed in several battles, those who survived these brutal battles had made some progress to some extent.
A vampire who was suspected to be the chosen hero of God immediately exclaimed, "Hey, brother, I'm the Cursed Blood Spirit. Have I ever provoked you before?"
"And I just avoided you guys on purpose, why did you just come up and start fighting?"
Levi remained noncommittal. Even now, doesn't he understand that this world determines each other's positions based on camps and races?
Do the high elves really need a reason to attack the undead?
He just casually cast another fireball, killing a large number of enemies quickly and efficiently.
Behind him, Sally and Lily, who were riding on the same magic carpet, also used magic one after another, killing or seriously injuring dozens of enemies. They looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds at the same time.
As expected, just as Lord Levi said, these vampire families might be even weaker than the ordinary graveyard guards. They are just for show...
The Cursed Blood Spirit wanted to say something, but a bald strong man with a very sloppy appearance next to him roared: "Damn elf, you don't know who you have offended!"
Levi suddenly became interested. He could confirm that the other party was a vampire from the other party's pointed ears and fangs, but vampires usually called themselves nobles of the night and would not be dressed so sloppily.
Could it be that the other party is a member of the Strigoi family, the ugliest and most beast-like among vampires?
So he immediately asked this question, wanting to get more information from the other party, because this big bald guy didn't look very smart.
Unexpectedly, the bald guy became furious as if he had been insulted.
"Damn elf, I am a member of the Eclipse Alliance, the leader of the Last Kavi family of the thirteen blood descendants under Lord Dracula - Last Kavi Dracula. I am not one of those beast-like fools!"
His words came out so quickly that the cursed blood spirit next to him had no time to stop him. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.
Because he knew that the secret that Dracula tried so hard to hide would probably be completely exposed, and might even implicate himself.
Although that guy is powerful, he is too moody. He may be reluctant to punish his descendants, but he will never show mercy to a hero chosen by God like himself.
Really, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have partnered with this well-known idiot among vampires...
Levi didn't know that the Cursed Blood Spirit had thought of so many things in his mind at this moment. In fact, most of his energy was now attracted by what the other party said.
In addition to the previous vampire hunter, Lucia, Dracula actually secretly developed so many descendants and families?
However, their power should not be too strong at the moment. After all, vampires are a race that feeds on blood. If they have a large number of vampires under their command, it must mean that there will be more mortals as their food.
Unless they are like those guys entrenched in the Sylvania province in the eastern part of the Sigmar Empire, who directly collect blood taxes from mortals as rulers, the large-scale hunting activities of vampires will inevitably alarm many races and forces in the good camp.
Vampires are hated by everyone. No matter how low-key they are, there will always be people who will come to attack them. If they expand aggressively, they will definitely be surrounded and suppressed.
However, perhaps I can follow the clues and kill all of Dracula's descendants first to weaken his power!
As they were talking, the Harpies and other air force units had already rushed over, and hundreds of vampires also took off into the air.
At the same time, they also summoned a large number of bats, rats, wolves and the like to help. Although most of these summoned creatures were 0-1 level cannon fodder, their number was quite large, and the entire battlefield instantly became much more chaotic.
However, this time the team was led by Cai Jin and others personally, with Cindy and the angels assisting them, so Cai Jin and others not only did not fall into a disadvantage, but instead had an advantage.
In a battlefield of this small scale, the appearance of powerful pioneers like Cindy and the angels is fully qualified to change the entire situation of the battle.
At the same time, Luna also led the huntresses to attack from the side. Their mounts were as flexible and agile as they themselves. Even though the Underdark was full of rugged rocks, it did not have much impact on their movements.
Donna, Elegy, Alduin, Nar and others, under the protection of the celestial creatures, cooperated with Suifeng and other troops to launch a frontal attack. The battle became fierce in an instant.
Levi also noticed that Bayoru, who was brought here specially because he had just advanced, also successfully cast the summoning spell and summoned a 5th-level elephant man.
Then they whispered something to each other, and the elephant-man accepted some gold coins and light element crystals, and then summoned an Asura who looked like a fire-winged bird-man.
Levi immediately raised his eyebrows. Is it possible to play like this?
So if you are lucky enough and each elephant man summons a new elephant man, wouldn't you be able to do it infinitely?
If that's the case, maybe I can get him some equipment to improve his intelligence, and then lend him the Duet Ring temporarily, so that he can summon more elephant men to increase the success rate of the infinite nesting dolls.
However, this thought only flashed through Levi's mind, because the battle suddenly became intense, and the vampires on the other side also made new moves.
Mokawi roared, the fangs in his mouth grew further outward, his hands turned into iron-blue claws, his eyes turned red, and his entire head transformed into a beastly bat form. A pair of pitch-black flesh wings broke through his clothes and popped out from his back.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he turned from an ugly bald man into an even uglier bat monster.
This is the unique combat style of middle and high-level vampires, sacrificing a certain amount of intelligence, rationality and spellcasting ability in exchange for a short-term improvement in attributes such as strength, agility and physique.
It is basically the favorite of warrior vampires, and as their strength increases, the side effects will become smaller and smaller.
Of course, there is a hidden price involved, which is that the appearance will become extremely ugly, so it is often not favored by female vampires and most male vampires.
They call themselves the nobility of the dark night, and in most situations, especially those that do not endanger their own lives, they pay more attention to their manners.
But now it seems that Mokawi obviously doesn't mind this at all. Although he denies that he is a member of the Strigoi family, his fighting style is not much different from that of the other party.
However, despite the opponent's fierce attack, Levi was not in a hurry. He first asked Lily to cast a light magic. After a slight delay, he successfully released his newly acquired magic.
A 3X3 meter standing palm - Bigby's protective palm appeared out of thin air, just blocking the path of Mokawi's charge.
Perhaps because he was rushing too fast and had no time to slow down, he was caught off guard and crashed into it like a big fly, making a dull "bang" sound, and then slowly slid down.
Due to the characteristics of this magic, the protective palm also slid down with it, trying to stay in the middle of Mokawi and Levi, which made the whole scene look very funny.
Everyone around who heard this sound, regardless of friend or foe, subconsciously grinned. Not only did it make the other person look a little funny, but it also sounded painful...
Sally also quickly adjusted the magic carpet so that she could always be behind Levi.
Although the protective palm would theoretically only protect Levi, the spellcaster, they had just tested it, and as long as she stayed behind Levi, she would naturally be protected as well.
"Ahh, damn elf, I'm going to tear you apart!"
Mokavi became more and more furious, and his claws began to emit a purple-black light. He grabbed the big hand that was blocking his way with a "swish".
It’s no wonder that his attack speed was really fast after the transformation. He launched seven or eight attacks in less than two seconds.
But unfortunately, Levi soon realized that in this state, his attacks should be part physical and part magical.
However, the defensive power of both sides of the protective palm was close to 50, which just happened to restrain him. His claws could not cause more than 20 points of damage in total.
And with the blessing of Levi's attributes, the protective palm has a health value of about 200 points. Even if he leaves it alone and lets him beat him, it is not something he can break through easily!
Lily took the opportunity to blind his eyes with a flash blast, and Sally used a fireball to blast him, causing him to tumble several times in the air. Although there was a vague rivalry and even competition between the two wizard girls, in fact, their cooperation had become more and more tacit.
After rolling several times in the air, Mokawi barely managed to stop and wanted to say a few harsh words, but Levi had already used another trick: "Dead Soul Immobilization Technique!"
In an instant, Mokavi was like a heavy stone statue, maintaining the pounce posture, falling straight down in a somersault.
It even hit an unlucky vampire warrior halfway before falling to the ground, followed by dozens of points of falling damage floating above his head.
Levi found it a little interesting. Generally speaking, the damage from falling is directly related to the height of the fall and the weight of the opponent.
If a vampire weighing several hundred pounds can cause such damage, then if it were a bone dragon or something like that, the falling damage alone would be much greater than what he could cause with his fireball, right?
But that is a matter for later. For now, let’s get rid of Mukawi first.
He immediately drove the battle griffin down and threw another Undead Immobilization Spell over.
You were so arrogant just now, and I thought you were very capable, but it turns out that you only have this little ability, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?
Makavi, who was upside down with his head stuck in the rubble, continued to maintain that ridiculous posture before he could make any movement.
This made Levi even more convinced of the opponent's weakness. You have to know that the necromancy spell is not 100% effective. The most likely reason for this is that his strength has completely crushed the opponent!
The Cursed Blood Spirit naturally tried to launch a rescue as soon as possible. Although he was a little annoyed, he couldn't just watch Mukavi die.
At the same time, he shouted again: "Hey, brother, there is no deep hatred between us, right?"
"And you just heard him say that he is Dracula's younger brother. If you offend him, the consequences will be very bad!"
Of course, seeking peace was part of the plan, and taking advantage of the situation to let the younger brothers launch an attack and try to rescue Malkawi was another part of the plan.
Unfortunately, the protective palm had already followed Levi like a shadow, firmly protecting him in front of him. Even Mokawi could not cause any effective damage to it. Most of these ordinary vampires and vampire followers were completely unable to break through its defense.
Sally and Lily, who also flew over closely, also bombarded with magic at the right time. Cindy also dispatched two guardian angels as guards and easily resisted this round of counterattack.
After a few seconds, Levi took a deep breath. Although he had mastered many kinds of magic, the one with the strongest instantaneous burst of power was still Dragon's Breath!
Feeling the violent surge of magic in the air, Mokawi, whose eyes could barely move a little, felt regret for the first time in his heart: Perhaps from the beginning, he should not have been so arrogant...
Unfortunately, he no longer has the chance to regret. Some mistakes can be fatal once made.
Lightning flashed, and a gully full of burn marks appeared on the spot. Mokawi, who had been in a frozen state, had completely disappeared, without even a trace of dust left.
There were only three objects on the ground that were shining with magical light, proving that he did exist.
The undead race does have many advantages, but their disadvantages are also very obvious and fatal!
Signaling a guardian angel to pick up the spoils, Levi cast a fireball to blast away the nearest circle of vampires, then turned to look at the cursed blood spirit.
Although there was no intimidation or murderous intent in his eyes, the Cursed Blood Spirit still shuddered and retreated dozens of meters.
If the opponent can beat Mokawi so easily, then killing him will be even easier!
"Brother, don't rush to do it. Let's talk it over. What do you want to do?"
In fact, up to now, in addition to anger and dissatisfaction, he was still completely confused, because he had no idea why this battle had happened. Are all the people in this underdark so cruel?
Levi felt it was becoming more and more interesting. Just looking at the opponent's troops, he knew that he was definitely not a newcomer. But he was still so ignorant. Could it be that he had been following Dracula from the very beginning and had no chance to deal with other God-chosen heroes?
In this case, maybe he really knows a lot of things?
By the way, I haven't seen Lucia for a while. She originally thought she knew Dracula very well, but Dracula has created the Thirteen Clans, but she doesn't seem to have any relevant information at all. They are really a loving father and a filial son...
He casually threw a fireball again, and then said, "We have received a mission to rescue the refugees. If you abandon them right now, I can let you go."
"What? Impossible!"
The Cursed Blood Spirit subconsciously retorted: "We all got our money from the Snake Cult..."
But at this point, looking at the smiling Li Wei, he suddenly came to his senses: "Damn, you're trying to trick me? Brother, you're really too unkind, aren't you?"
Little did he know that Levi was also a little surprised. It was obvious that there had been some friction between the Old Black Dragon and the forces under Dracula's command recently, but Dracula was still able to do business with the Snake Cult.
Is it that Dracula still doesn't understand the relationship between the Snake Cult and the Old Black Dragon, or is it that the Old Black Dragon has no time to take care of such things?
Or maybe, out of the dragons' greed for money, the old black dragon knew this, but was still willing to do it for the gold coins?
It seems that the fight between the two sides is still restrained to a certain extent, and Dracula is probably waiting for a special opportunity...
But of course he would not show it on the surface, instead he chuckled: "A flattery? I think you must have misunderstood something. Why do you think we caught up so quickly, and even stopped us halfway? Lord Black would never help the enemy!"
Blake is the name of the legendary black dragon who obtained the fragment of the godhead.
The Cursed Blood Spirit woke up instantly, and he felt that he had discovered the truth: "Damn it, that old black dragon is really a cunning and mean guy. It took the gold coins away, and now it wants to take the goods back? This is really outrageous!"
Li Wei immediately laughed out loud: "Now that you know the truth, you can die with peace of mind!"
Although the blazing fireball was flying towards him at high speed and it was obviously impossible to dodge it in time, the Cursed Blood Spirit did not panic at all this time. Instead, he laughed.
"Dude, do you think you've got me talking? But I think so too!"
"Even if you can kill me now, after I am resurrected, I will report the information to Dracula as soon as possible. Then it will be the death of the old black dragon!"
Levi seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He immediately acted extremely annoyed. "So what if he knew? Lord Black is preparing to deify him tomorrow. When he becomes a true dragon god, he can easily crush Dracula to death!"
“Becoming a god tomorrow? Haha, even though I don’t know your name yet, brother, I really should express my gratitude to you. Thank you!”
Levi immediately kept silent and just kept casting magic. He soon succeeded in controlling the opponent with the Undead spell again. Sally and Lily next to him also cast magic at the same time and killed him instantly.
Whether they are God-chosen heroes or natives, the weaknesses of vampires will not be different.
However, despite the heavy losses, the Cursed Blood Spirit still had a very smug smile on his face, as if he was the winner of this battle.
This made Levi find it even funnier, but if it made him feel better, there was no need for him to be a villain.
After the death of Mokawi and the Cursed Blood Spirit, although there were still seven or eight hundred vampires and their followers alive, they had completely lost their threat to Levi and the others.
And because they dispatched only fast-moving troops this time, even if a vampire wanted to escape, it would be difficult to succeed.
Soon the infantry troops arrived and began to rescue the refugees as soon as possible, because Levi was a little worried that some vampires would try to kill innocent civilians when they were desperate.
But he didn't know if it was because of the shoddy workmanship, but the vampires seemed a little dazed. After losing their leader, they either fought desperately or turned around and ran away. The situation he was worried about did not happen.
So after spending less than a quarter of an hour, they successfully killed all the opponents and won another resounding victory.
At this time, Levi finally laughed out loud. He had to admit that he had been holding it in for a long time in order to avoid any unexpected situations.
Although it was not the first time that he used rhetoric to deceive the enemy, this time he really couldn't help himself. He really wanted to see what expression the other party would have when the truth was revealed.
After laughing, he found that the two female mages next to him also couldn't help laughing.
Although they did not participate from beginning to end, sometimes they could have more fun as spectators.
I never thought that Lord Levi had such a side. He was a bit bad, but they didn't hate him...
