Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 305: Shadow of War
As she spoke, Lucia's face was full of eagerness, as if she couldn't wait to go and hunt down Dracula herself.
But Levi shook his head slightly. A seriously injured legend was still a legend. They did not have enough ability to defeat him now.
But he thought it would be a fierce battle, but who could have thought that the opponent would suffer a crushing defeat just after a few minutes?
But no matter what, now is the time to reap the harvest.
"Lucia, don't be too ambitious. Kill the leaders of these families first!"
Although Lucia felt very sorry, after thinking about it for a while, she sighed silently and agreed with Levi's opinion.
Now it seems that my road to revenge is still very long!
Seeing Lucia proactively rushing towards the vampires in front, Levi was very satisfied. He immediately asked Donna and others to cooperate. After all, Lucia knew best which of these vampires was most worth killing.
As for everyone else...
"Attack with all your strength, kill them!"
Following Levi's orders, Hans, Caijin, Shudun, Suifeng and others all excitedly took the initiative to attack. Only Pamela, the sword dancer and other drow stayed where they were, as if they had made up their minds to continue following Levi.
Levi was a little surprised. He thought Pamela and the others would take advantage of the situation to take revenge on the evil drow in Ostak City.
But after thinking about it for a while, he roughly understood what the other party meant.
The only reason one could temporarily put aside the imminent act of revenge is for the greater good.
I have to say that she is indeed very smart and has a good eye for people. Levi will definitely not let his friends down.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to continue communicating with the other party for the time being because he was getting restless.
With one of his two strongest enemies dead and the other escaping, and the biggest threat gone, is it possible for him to go to the black dragon's lair to join in the fun?
Tigris and the others didn't leave there immediately. Obviously, they were delayed by other things, right?
For example, are there other enemies in the nest?
When he looked at Michaela, he saw that the other person's eyes were also burning with war.
After all, she is a fire element scholar of a fairly high level. If she can't deal with the old black dragon, can't she deal with its other minions?
But before the two of them could take action, a portal filled with darkness and death opened a few hundred meters away, and then hundreds of knights wearing heavy armor and holding spears, swords, and sabers came out one after another.
Michaela, who was about to say something, suddenly changed her expression because she quickly recognized these types of soldiers.
The largest number of them is the famous 5th-order soldier of the Undead Tribe - the Terror Knight!
The biggest feature of these guys is that after hitting the target, there is a chance to curse the opponent, reducing the opponent's attack, and there is a chance to cause double damage.
Coupled with their charge bonus and so on, their power is as terrifying as their name suggests.
They are notoriously difficult to deal with among the Tier 5 troops. Not to mention ordinary infantry and archers, even spear-wielding or halberd-wielding troops that are specifically designed to restrain cavalry units can often be killed by them in one wave if you are not careful.
But even though these Terror Knights are very powerful, they are actually the most ordinary existence in this army.
The second type is some ghost knights with translucent bodies, but unlike regular ghost knights, a considerable number of them are some very special Centaur Ghost Knights.
The leader was several times larger than an ordinary centaur. He had a weapon that looked like a knife or a gun, as thick as an ordinary person's arm and six or seven meters long. It looked extremely powerful.
Finally, there are some death knights riding skeleton horses, wearing frost armor, and holding rune magic swords.
Although they are the smallest in number, with only 13 in total, they are the ones that Michaela fears the most, because all Death Knights, without exception, are heroic units!
They didn't know whether to be thankful or angry that these newly emerged powerful undead completely ignored them.
Except for a few of Qian Ce's subordinates who happened to be blocking their portal and were killed instantly by some Death Knights, they did not attack anyone else.
When a death knight with long pale hair appeared, he rode his horse and charged towards the black dragon's lair.
As he charged, lines of frost quickly spread, and the swamps that troubled the undead army and the drow quickly turned into hard frozen soil, allowing all the knights behind him to pass smoothly.
Their charge was so fast that in less than 10 seconds from start to finish, they had quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Levi, what should we do? They look like they are going after Teclis and Lord Imrik!"
Levi felt a little toothache: "I saw that some of the horror knights' mounts have six legs, and some knights have four arms. They are probably the undead army of Velsharoon's followers."
Michaela's expression became even uglier. "He has only been a deity for a short time, and he only has weak divine power. There shouldn't be any believers under his command who can possess such power."
"Unless, these undead came from him..."
This is exactly what Levi was worried about. This Visharon is really a dog that doesn't like to bark and only likes to bite people!
According to his previous speculation, Velsharoon should have cooperated with Dracula and taught him the secret of how to convert the undead into believers.
But after Dracula was defeated, he immediately decided to take his place and personally sent his men to seize the fragments of the godhead.
If Teclis hadn't set up the space magic beforehand, this portal would probably have opened directly next to Dracula, right?
No, judging by the character shown by the other party, I’m afraid this cooperation may not be genuine.
Perhaps even if Teclis and the others had not appeared, Dracula would still be attacked by them after seizing the fragments of the godhead.
But no matter what, these are no longer important now. What really matters is that the other party is an enemy!
Hearing that Levi also agreed, Michaela suddenly became more uneasy: "Levi, what should we do now?"
"Don't panic. You should trust the strength of Lords Teclis and Imrik. Moreover, the goddess is always watching this place."
Michaela then took a deep breath. Yes, Lord Tigris was the chosen one of Goddess Lilith. If any unexpected situation really happened, the goddess would not sit idly by.
"But we can't just sit there and watch. We need to continue the attack, kill all the undead blocking our way, seize the passage to the black dragon's lair, and push our troops through!"
Although very unexpected and shocked, Levi did not lose his mind. Facing so many powerful undead, it would be of no help even if the two of them went.
Those ghost knights have the ability to hover at low altitude or even fly, and the death knights can also use magic.
Its signature ability, Death Coil, can cause damage to enemies and heal undead allies. It is even said that powerful Death Knights can add a special fear effect to it.
Even if the two of them flew over, the most likely scenario was that they would be killed instantly by the opponent's dozen or so Death Coils.
Moreover, Levi always felt that the white-haired Death Knight in the lead and the oversized Centaur Ghost Knight did not look like ordinary hero units.
If Velsharoon's original plan was to snatch the spoils from Dracula, could he have sent out a bunch of random soldiers? Most likely they were also Legendaries!
Mikaela naturally nodded immediately, and the magic swordsmen who had been very silent before also spoke up: "We can all turn mud into stone, and we have prepared a large number of magic scrolls. If you need anything, Lord Levi, we can repair a passage."
The magic swordsmen are unable to master high-level magic, so whenever possible, they will develop in numbers so that they can fight in different situations, which comes in handy now.
"Okay, let's continue our fierce attack and carve out a passage!"
At this time, Cai Jin and others who had slowly dispersed could not help but gather together again. They also wanted to ask what to do next.
These newly emerged undead look very powerful, so after killing them, we will definitely get even richer spoils!
Only the dwarf Hans and Stump did not return immediately, because they had discovered a group of retreating drow, among whom happened to be one of Hans' enemies, so they naturally gave priority to revenge.
Levi thought that these guys had a really big appetite. He just wanted to take the troops over to see the situation, but they were already thinking about the spoils.
But it's a good thing to have help, so he told the other party his plan and tried to open a path in the shortest time possible.
But there is no need for everyone to work together, because in front of those powerful knights, most of the Sun Knights' troops are not even qualified to be cannon fodder. It would be better to take the opportunity to kill more undead or something.
Everyone was not stupid. After hearing Levi's analysis, they went back to continue their current battle.
Although they all knew that if they could kill these powerful knights, the rewards would be extremely generous, they would need to have the strength to do so!
After Dracula fled first, the morale of the coalition forces he had gathered suddenly dropped and they all just wanted to flee.
Low-level skeletons, zombies, ghouls and the like have no minds and therefore no morale, but it is different for vampires and drow.
Having wisdom means that you will often understand fear and retreat because of fear.
Therefore, the resistance Levi and his team encountered was not fierce, and they soon arrived at a passage that had been destroyed by the dragons.
The magic swordsmen began to turn mud into stone, turning the swamp into flat land. Lucia came to Levi with a smile and stretched out her hand to show him three new family rings.
Just now, with the cooperation of Elegy and Sword Dancer, they easily killed the leaders of three families.
It was unknown how much time it took Dracula to establish the 13 families, but within two days, they were killed and only 6 were left, so Lucia was truly happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Levi, Elegy is really strong. She actually defeated Fan Zhuo, the strongest warrior among the 13 families, in a head-on duel. Now the only one who deserves our attention is Lesenba, nicknamed 'the commander'."
Levi was not too surprised by this. These 13 families sounded powerful, but in fact they were basically around level 10, so .
Their boss is just a Dracula who wants to be deified, but Diana, the boss of Elegy, is already a real goddess!
After dealing with a few words, Levi also asked casually: "You should be able to exert the power of these rings, right?"
Lucia nodded: "Yes, if Levi is willing to let one of your subordinates become my bloodline, he can also use the power of these rings."
Levi smiled and shook his head, politely declining the offer.
He would never do this knowing that vampires have so many weaknesses, but Lucia said this at this time, could it be that she was planning to use this as a reward? This is not okay!
So he took out his own ring and handed them all to the other party: "Since you can exert their power, I will give them to you."
Now it was Lucia's turn to be embarrassed, because she felt that Levi seemed to have seen through her thoughts...
At this time, Michaela cheered : "Levi, the passage problem has been solved!"
Although she could fly over on Xiaohong, that would be too conspicuous and she didn't want to become the target of those Death Knights.
At this time, Hans and Le Dian Dian came running over with the dwarves. He had just carried out another successful revenge and killed seventy or eighty evil drow.
If those guys hadn't been so intent on escaping and hadn't fought them head-on, he would have definitely achieved a more brilliant result this time.
But it’s not bad now. When he returns to his family and drinks to celebrate, he will have something to brag about.
Stump was also in a good mood. Facing the drow who almost did not fight back, his helicopter team really made a great contribution this time and killed quite a few enemies.
Unfortunately, helicopters themselves are also war machines. No matter how many enemies they kill, they cannot be upgraded. We can only collect more money and try to recruit more and stronger helicopters.
Although according to Hans, these types of helicopters have basically reached their limit of development in terms of weapons, he can start from other aspects, for example , increasing the total amount of ammunition, strengthening armor, etc., all of which require money.
Levi nodded to them and waved his hand: "Okay, march immediately!"
As they continued to move forward, they could hear slight vibrations under their feet, which seemed to indicate that a fierce battle was taking place inside the black dragon's lair.
Although it looks like a rock cave that is only a dozen meters high, since the old black dragon himself once lived in it, and Imrik and his companions also brought the dragon and the phoenix in, the space inside may be countless times wider than it looks on the outside.
At the same time, as they continued to go deeper, the corpses of gnolls, lizardmen, dragonmen and others on the roadside became more and more numerous.
In addition to some who seemed to have been killed by the undead who ran over from other directions, some were frozen by frost, had their heads chopped off neatly, or had large holes on their chests that were transparent from front to back and surrounded by a faint frost.
Even the stronger dragon warriors among them didn't seem to have much ability to fight back.
If Levi and the others just thought that the person who did the killing was very powerful, the expressions of Elegy, Pamela and others became more and more serious.
Because as warriors themselves, they know how powerful it is needed to achieve this.
That is the perfect combination of strength, agility and skill. All the murderers are incredibly strong. I'm afraid almost none of them is below level 6!
After getting this information, Levi frowned a little. Feeling the continuous vibration under his feet, he thought about it and finally decided to set up the formation on the spot.
The cavalry sent by Visharon were all high-speed charging cavalry. If they were to encounter them suddenly during the march, I'm afraid the Silver Guards would not be able to resist them.
It would be fine if Teclis and his men won, but if they were ultimately defeated, the Silver Guards who formed a formation could at least delay the time a little.
Hans also led the dwarves to form a battle line. Perhaps because he was unable to rush to Levi's aid immediately, he seemed a little guilty and took the initiative to insert the dwarves among the Silver Guards as an aid.
This is a very rare thing for the dwarves, who are also very proud and proud.
Levi naturally felt their kindness, so he asked the priest and other subordinates to cast some auxiliary magic for them. As dwarves who were born unable to cast spells, they should rarely enjoy this kind of treatment, right?
Almost as soon as they finished setting up the formation, accompanied by a burst of rapid horse hooves, the Centaur Ghost Knight, who had received special attention before, rushed out of the black dragon's lair with several ghost minions.
As soon as they saw his condition, everyone, including Levi, felt something in their hearts and realized that this might be an opportunity.
Because although he was originally a translucent ghost, his body was at least intact.
But now it was different. His ghost body was in tatters, and many parts were simply empty. It was obvious that he had been beaten badly.
On the other hand, the conditions of the ordinary ghost knights behind him seemed to be pretty good, but it was obvious that their strength was much weaker than his, and they were undead creatures, so it would definitely not be too difficult to deal with them.
Levi immediately summoned Big Slap and the 6th-level elite bear-headed messenger Bill. Who knows, the other party may be able to provide him with the best trophies of the day!
At the same time, he also asked Cindy to prepare for battle. Facing such an enemy, after much thought, they felt that only the two of them were the most suitable to fight against it.
Michaela also let out a delicate cry, restored her little red to its original size, and controlled it to rise into the air.
It would be fine if it were a group of Death Knights, but if the enemy was these special Ghost Knights, she would not be afraid at all!
Levi also flew up with Cindy, several angels, and more celestial creatures, intending to attack the enemy from a high position.
Donna also immediately ordered the archers to take out consumable items such as holy water and magic weapons. After all, except for the sisters of Avalon, other archers are currently unable to effectively cause damage to ghost-like enemies and must rely on these items.
Upon seeing their actions, the other party immediately understood what they meant. He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Humble mortals, your souls are begging for liberation. Come and see the power of the Shadow of War - Hecarim!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already started charging, and several ghost knights chose to follow him.
At Donna's command, hundreds of arrows flew over at the same time. Michaela and Levi threw fireballs at the same time.
Moreover, the landing points of these two fireballs are very special. The enemy who calls himself the Shadow of War can either choose to withstand them head-on or endure hundreds of arrows!
But at the critical moment, the Shadow of War did not show any fear. He roared suddenly, and his whole body became more and more transparent. He accelerated directly and passed through the blockade of the rain of arrows.
But the ghost knights behind him did not have his strength. Except for one lucky one, the rest were killed instantly on the spot.
Ghosts are a type of soldier without a physical body. Although they have a strong ability to reduce physical attacks, their health points are often much lower than those of soldiers of the same level.
Even though they were most likely level 6 soldiers, they were still unable to resist the hundreds of magic-enhanced arrows and two fireballs.
But Shadow of War didn't care. He charged faster and faster, and at the same time began to try to use some special skills.
Unfortunately, Levi did not give him a chance this time. After the mistake just now, he immediately readjusted his battle strategy, using a larger ice storm and even spending extra magic points to expand its range.
This time, the Shadow of War was not completely immune. A little frost covered his body, forcibly slowing down his speed. The special skills he was preparing were also directly affected, and he suddenly stopped moving.
Unfortunately, the damage number that appeared was pitifully low, as it had only just broken the defense.
This made Levi couldn't help but frown. Although the ice storm has never been known for its attack power, the opponent's magic resistance is still a bit too strong.
At the same time, as a high-level hero unit, he obviously had a lot of life-saving props on him. With a flash of magic light, the negative status on his body was cleared on the spot, and his speed returned to normal.
But even this slight delay was enough for the Bear-Headed Messenger, Bill, to do something.
He just stretched out his hand and pointed, and there was no flash of magical light. The surviving Ghost Knight following closely behind the Shadow of War roared and stabbed the Shadow of War with a gun.
Judging from the magical light flashing on his gun, he had obviously used up all his strength.
This is Bill's strongest move, the 6th-level magic - Retribution for Sin. Once successful, it can directly force an enemy to start fighting among themselves in a short period of time!
The Shadow of War seemed to have never thought that he would be betrayed like this. It was not until the spear pierced his body that he was shocked and angry.
After backhanding the opponent back several meters, he saw that the opponent immediately rushed forward again. He couldn't help but become more and more angry: "Damn mortal, what did you do to him?"
Levi couldn't help but smile: "Maybe he didn't want to continue to be loyal to the evil god, so he gave up evil and turned to good!"
As he spoke, he threw out a necromancy spell.
Unfortunately, this time the opponent was too strong and ended in failure.
If he were to encounter such magic at other times, the Shadow of War would have simply started to laugh at him, but now he was furious: "How dare you, ignorant mortal, disrespect my Lord Velsharoon?"
Levi raised his eyebrows. If he had only guessed , now it was confirmed that these guys were indeed sent by Visharon.
He began to use the ice storm again. The opponent was obviously very powerful. If he were to rush into the formation, there was no telling how many of his men would die in the battle.
So the best outcome is that they can resolve the battle before the other side gets close!
At the same time, the Ghost Knight who was affected by magic also attacked the Shadow of War again. Although full of anger, the Shadow of War still launched a counterattack without mercy and soon seriously injured him.
At this time, arrows rained down again, and ice storms and fireballs also fell at the same time. The Shadow of War, who was restrained in multiple ways, had no way to dodge this time, and he had to bear the attack head-on.
But just like before, the effect of this attack was also very unsatisfactory. Apart from Michaela's fireball which caused some damage to the opponent, only the attacks of Donna and the Avalon sisters were effective.
Other ranged units, including Sky Eagle Archers, were completely unable to harm the enemy even after using magic enhancements.
On the contrary, Shadow of War seized the opportunity and struck a heavy blow, turning the Ghost Knight who betrayed him into nothingness.
Then he turned around and grinned, "Pathetic mortals, is this your power? Witness the power of the Shadow of War, and then face death!"
He roared and flew straight into the air. Although his speed was several times slower than on the ground, it was still faster than an ordinary warhorse.
But Levi laughed instead. If it was just this speed, it would not pose any threat to him and Michaela, and he could not catch up with them.
What we should do now is to keep attracting the opponent's hatred and prevent him from shifting his target!
He quickly gave Michaela a look, signaling her to immediately start preparing for the most powerful Yangyan Blast. Levi did not retreat but advanced instead, and under the protection of Cindy and the angels, he pretended to move towards the other party.
At the same time, he kept talking: "Oh? Your strength, do you mean being beaten to a pulp by Lord Teclis?"
