Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 314: Secondary Heavenly Kingdom Legion Flag
Naturally, the Sun Knights would not have any objections. Such a big move today was originally for the city of Ostak. Since they could not bring the undead as cannon fodder, they could just let the ogres be cannon fodder.
However, the dwarf Hans and the shield dwarf Dusser and others felt it was a pity.
Many of their tribesmen and subordinates had just been celebrating this rare victory, but now they learned with regret that they might not be able to participate in another great victory.
But although they were regretful, they were not unreasonable and they quickly expressed their support.
They immediately cooperated with the mages brought by Pamela, using spells such as turning fossils into mud to reopen the previously closed passage. Then the two of them decided to take all the dwarf priests and shield dwarf priests with Levi to the city of Ostak.
They also said mysteriously that if they were to launch a siege, they would definitely be able to give Levi a surprise.
Considering that the dwarf helicopter is large enough to carry them, it will not slow down the troops' marching speed.
Moreover, some of their war equipment can be disassembled and then placed in the space ring, which will definitely play a big role in the upcoming siege. Levi naturally agreed.
They traveled quickly all the way. With Pamela and Dussel around, they took shortcuts and walked for several miles without encountering any enemies blocking the way.
No matter whether it was wild monsters or other small forces, facing their troops, they either fled early or stayed in the village trembling in fear.
Even if they temporarily eliminated some of the slower troops, they still have nearly two thousand people. This number is already more than the total population of most villages in the Underdark. It is impossible for them not to be afraid!
Levi was not idle. He began to check the ransom from Names. These little gadgets were his exclusive spoils and he didn't need to share them with others.
But after reading it, Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Names was still playing a little trick.
The quality of the things she gave was good, and she was even very generous in order to save her life, or rather, she had to be generous under Levi's threat, so she contributed a total of 6 green items and 4 blue items.
The only special thing is that they either require the race to be a demon or a chaotic evil camp. At first glance, they are completely unsuitable for Levi and his subordinates to use.
If it's just one or two things, then it's understandable, but if it's all like this, then it's not normal.
You have to know that she had looted the Black Castle before, and fought against the high elves and greenskins, so she must have corresponding spoils.
But everything she gave was like this, it was obvious that she was deliberately trying to disgust Levi.
Unfortunately, she probably didn't expect that as a celestial mystic, he had a special expertise in purifying evil magical items.
He can try to change the properties of these evil items to neutral or sacred by spending a certain amount of magic and gold coins. The usage requirements will also change accordingly, so these equipment will not be wasted.
However, Levi was too lazy to waste time on the green quality items, so he started directly to purify the blue ones. After spending a total of forty or fifty gold coins, he completed it quickly and successfully.
A Red Flame Bracelet that increases fire attack was thrown to Sally, and a Glory Knight Glove that increases attack speed and a little defense was given to Elegy.
A Warrior Order that increases critical hit rate, critical hit damage rate and armor breaking effect was given to Donna.
But what Levi really values is the last special item with a usage limit of 20 times.
It was originally named the Secondary Abyss Legion Banner. It does not have any attributes and only has one active skill - summoning the Secondary Abyss Legion.
The effect is to summon various types of demons such as Iron Cavalry Demon, Horned Demon General, Hellhound, Horned Demon, Gog, Magog, etc. by sacrificing blood and souls.
The more sacrifices there are, the higher the level and number of demons summoned, but the level will not exceed 5. The maximum number and duration, etc. are based on the user's level, intelligence and other related attributes.
While being summoned, if they kill the enemy, they may accumulate separate, special charging points and continue to summon their own kind.
Theoretically, each participant can summon one of its kind, but those of its kind will no longer be able to summon its own kind.
If the user has a special contract with a demon of one of the races, he can also specify that demon of that race appear when summoning. Of course, the sacrifices required cannot be discounted at all.
This is also the most valuable of these trophies.
But the reason why Names was so willing to do so was obviously because he had no good intentions. In addition to the requirements for attributes and levels, it also required that one must be a demon or chaotic evil camp to use it.
According to common sense, Levi would definitely not be able to use it. It can only be said that Names is really good at disgusting people.
But after it was purified by Levi, it turned into the battle flag of the Secondary Heavenly Legion. The demon holding a bloody human head on the flag turned into an angel surrounded by holy light.
Its general principles and effects have not changed, but the camp requirement has become lawful good, and the sacrifices have become gold coins, light elemental crystals, or other precious gems.
Most importantly, the summoned creatures also changed from demons to angels, Gadins, Yakuros and other celestial creatures.
And how many celestial creatures have signed contracts with Levi so far?
The answer is 18.
There are 9 types of Sub-Sky, 8 types of Gadin, and fewer , only the 3rd and 4th level angels of courage, which are essentially the same type.
Based on Levi's current strength, he can theoretically summon more than 30 bear-headed gods of up to level 5 at a time.
Whether it's on the front battlefield or in a surprise attack, the effect is terrifyingly strong.
This is not just a blue treasure. Even a purple epic is not so exaggerated. He can directly summon a small legion!
At present, its actual combat effect is much stronger than the Crimson Knight's strategy chessboard.
The difference is that the chessboard does not require any gold coins. As long as you win the battle, you can get free charging points and summons, and you may continue to become stronger in the future. This battle flag uses real money to exchange for combat power.
And unfortunately, even though he is a celestial mystic with specialties such as Heaven's Servant, which can reduce the corresponding expenses to a certain extent, if he really summons all the Bear-Headed Messengers, it will still cost hundreds of gold coins. The average price is almost catching up with the recruitment price of other 5th-tier soldiers.
I can only say that this is really a thing that eats gold coins. No wonder Names threw it to him, because as long as he uses it, no matter from which perspective, she wins.
If you summon a lower-powered being like a Tiger Master, Wolf Patrol Master, or Angel of Courage, the cost will be reduced a lot.
Although their combat effectiveness will also decrease, with the support of equipment such as Duet, it is still considered good and will be very useful in emergencies.
However, Levi believes that the most cost-effective and efficient way is probably to summon the Holy Light Sub-Kong.
They are only level 2, and after the reduction, even if dozens of them appear together, the cost of summoning is insignificant for Levi.
However, they can penetrate most magical shields or damage reduction effects with strong light rays, and their power is even greater than the burst of ordinary tier 3 soldiers.
And in this way, Levi can also make them enter the combined state as quickly as possible. At that time, whether it is the holy light storm or the three consecutive shots of strong light rays, they will be very effective when dealing with groups of miscellaneous soldiers.
After throwing the Holy Light Storm, he would cancel it directly, and then summon a new Holy Light Sub-sky, and repeat this process. If the enemy is weak and he can find a more advantageous terrain, then fighting one against ten thousand will not be a dream.
What a pity, he was just thinking about it. This thing has a usage limit of 20 times and cannot be wasted casually. It must be used at the critical moment.
However, if there were no limit on the number of times, it would at least be an epic item and might not necessarily fall into his hands.
Well, if that was the case, perhaps after finishing the battle in the Underdark, he could return to Castle Black and ask Imrik and Teclis.
If they were still there, as knowledgeable legendary heroes, they would probably have some good ideas.
In short, Levi was very satisfied with his gains this time. He even decided that if he had the chance to meet Names again in the future, he might as well let her go and see what kind of spoils she could come up with.
Seeing his series of operations, Lucia beside him couldn't help but become interested.
She took out several rings from the Thirteen Families and said, "Levi, since you can even purify the devil's things, then it must be no problem to purify these, right? I'll leave them all to you!"
Levi smiled and declined: "They are most suitable for you vampires. Why don't you wait until you have collected all of them and then see how it goes?"
This thing was specially made by Dracula for the 13 families. It can only be used by vampires to maximize its effect.
Even if he could successfully purify it and turn it into a ring suitable for the celestial beings, the number 13 would have no meaning to them!
Seeing that Levi had a smile on his face but was actually very determined, Lucia gave up temporarily. Levi was right, they should get everything together first.
After a rapid march, the army of several thousand soon arrived at the city of Ostak. When they arrived, all the gates of the town had been closed, and the city walls were filled with drow warriors, drow crossbowmen, and so on.
If they were unaware of so many enemies approaching quickly, they would not have been able to survive in the Underdark for so many years and become the dominant race.
However, the defenders in the city were still somewhat confused. Where had the thousands of troops they had sent out to fight gone? Could it be that they had been deceived by the enemy?
But the next moment, Levi directly told them the truth, but this truth was completely unacceptable to them.
"Don't even think about it. Your army consisting of dozens of families has been wiped out by our coalition forces. If you know what's best for you, just leave the city and surrender. We may be able to spare your lives!"
With the help of Pamela's magic, his voice quickly spread throughout most of the city of Ostak, causing a slight commotion among the defenders.
Levi looked carefully at the town in front of him and tried to find the flaws in it.
But he gave up soon. Although this town was much smaller than Ashridge due to the special geographical environment of the Underdark and the strength of the drow elves, its geographical location was extremely advantageous.
The back is directly adjacent to the mountains, and it looks like a city carved out of the mountains.
On the west side is a deep cliff. Due to the characteristics of the Underdark, no one knows how many hundreds or thousands of meters deep it is.
On the east side is a lower cliff, and below it is a turbulent river, which is also difficult to attack.
Therefore, if any enemies want to capture this place, they can only launch a frontal attack from one direction.
Although the arrow towers on the city wall are not high, they are densely packed, with at least fifty or sixty of them. In addition, there are a large number of defenders in the city. Under normal circumstances, the attackers would probably have to spend several times the manpower to capture this place.
Moreover, their city gates seemed to be specially made, shining with brilliant magical light, and they must be very resistant to attacks.
But now, the drow have suffered several defeats in a short period of time, and the military strength in the city has been greatly reduced, which is just convenient for them.
While he was looking around, his own troops quickly began to deploy outside the enemy's maximum shooting range, so Levi was not in a hurry.
At the same time, the shield dwarf, Dusser, who had acted mysterious before, also took out a large number of things from the space ring, and began to work together with his own people and the rune blacksmith Hans, seemingly assembling some special war equipment.
Stump and another dwarf hero under his command were diligently debugging the catapults and cannons. Although they were very familiar with this, it was still not an easy job and they had to put all their energy into it.
Several shield dwarf priests and Pamela's mages were casting spells together, preparing to further undermine the enemy's morale according to Levi's instructions.
Soon, several female drow dressed as priests poked their heads out from the city wall and cursed Levi viciously: "Damned surface goblins, your inferior wisdom is not enough to fool us drow elves!"
Levi snorted. He knew that the other party would not believe it easily, so he made some preparations for it.
He glanced at Pamela, and when he saw her nod, he waved his hand.
The next moment, dozens of blood-stained family emblems, along with some broken mithril hammers, snake-head whips, broken staffs and projections of various armors appeared in the air.
Almost as soon as they saw them clearly, the drow in the city subconsciously gasped.
Because they all recognized those things; they once belonged to the matrons, chief mages, and martial arts masters of various families in the city of Ostak.
Now that they appeared here, it only meant one thing: the high elves outside did not lie, and the army they sent out to encircle and suppress those hypocritical and stupid drow traitors who believed in Eilistraee must have been annihilated by the enemy!
For a moment, even the defenders on the city wall began to waver. They knew how many elite forces the many families in the city had mobilized in order to ensure the smooth progress of this encirclement and suppression operation.
It can even be said that those who remain in the city now are almost all the weakest!
Seeing this scene, Levi couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. The hidden attribute of morale is almost useless to the chosen heroes themselves, and their attributes will not be affected by it .
But for the indigenous people, once their morale is low, their attack frequency and combat enthusiasm will be weakened. When it drops to a certain level, they may even become afraid of fighting, or simply choose to escape.
This is very beneficial for the siege battle that our side is going to carry out next.
So he struck while the iron was hot: "I swear on the honor of us high elves, as long as you surrender, I will definitely settle you down!"
Originally, Dusser and Hans said that they wanted to kill all the evil drow. This is also the common method used by them and all dwarf subraces when fighting against evil enemies.
But Levi thought that doing so would be a bit of a waste.
If they can successfully occupy the city of Ostak, they will definitely need a large number of villagers to carry out many activities such as maintenance and construction, which all require population.
And if all else fails, he can also make the surrendered drow become slaves, which can be considered as labor reform.
There was another commotion in the city, but soon the extremely sharp voice of the female priest sounded again: "The drow never surrender, and they will never surrender like lowly males!"
Although this sentence had such a wide coverage that it even affected many drow warriors, the morale of the drow priests, who were all women with relatively high status and strength, was greatly boosted, and obscene words emerged one after another.
Many drow priests shouted the name of Spider Queen Rose, appearing extremely fanatical.
No matter what the other drow thought in their hearts, they could only shout excitedly on the surface, because if they showed any disrespect to the Spider Queen Rose, only death would await them.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. You guys are really stubborn. Since you don't give me a chance, there's no need for me to show mercy.
This was actually the first time he commanded a real large-scale siege battle, so it had to be fought beautifully!
"Stump, I'll leave my Eagle Claw crossbows to you. Clear out the arrow towers on the enemy's city wall first!"
"Okay, Brother Levi, leave it to me. I will definitely complete the task!"
Shudun immediately patted his chest and made the promise, then he and his younger brothers began to give the orders.
His younger brother is proficient in both ballistics and artillery, and when commanding war machinery, he can provide bonuses to its attack power, hit rate and other aspects.
He had previously spent a lot of military merit to specially get him a piece of high-level rune equipment unique to dwarves, which could slightly enhance the maximum range of war equipment.
Although the degree of enhancement is not high, in terms of range, they are slightly better than the crossbows on the city walls, which is suitable for the current task.
So with the roar of cannons and the attack of catapults and crossbows, the arrow towers of the city of Ostak began to collapse one after another.
Although the drow tried to launch a counterattack, they soon found that they seemed unable to do so because the range was not enough, which immediately made them so angry that they began to curse again.
Levi, Pamela and other very few mages with expertise in spell extension also began to coordinate the attack.
Although the enemy's city walls and arrow towers were obviously equipped with special protections and had a certain degree of fire resistance, it was impossible to completely ignore them, so they dismantled the arrow towers several times faster.
The opponent's city gate is particularly strong, and ordinary arrows and crossbows are completely ineffective. Only cannons can cause certain damage. At the same time, it seems that some special magic is attached, and there is a certain probability of reflecting this long-range attack.
But Levi had no intention of attacking the city gate by force, so after a brief attempt, he gave up.
With air force and magic at our disposal, simply attacking the city gates is really not very efficient.
However, when there were only a dozen arrow towers left, the ammunition of the tree stumps had been used up.
Even if they were prepared in advance, cannon shells were not arrows and could not be stacked in large quantities in the space ring. They required more space, and some of them had been consumed in previous battles, so their reserves were also limited.
But now it’s almost the same. The output of those dozen arrow towers is no longer a particularly big threat to their two thousand troops.
Moreover, during their efforts, Dussel and Hans finally completed their own assembly work.
After seeing the finished product, everyone, including Levi, couldn't help but express their sincere admiration.
In simple terms, these were chariots powered by steam and spirits, and their weapons were huge drills at the front of the chariots.
They have a total of two power sources, one for driving the chariot itself and the other for driving the drill.
Even if you have never seen them in actual combat, you can roughly understand their principles and functions just by looking at their appearance.
That's right, they are steam drills invented by the shield dwarves. They were originally used for mining, but now they can also be used to make holes in the city walls!
The walls of Ostak City are only about five meters high, which is relatively low in this world. Any level 4 agile soldier can jump up there, so the obstacle they pose to the attackers is not as great as imagined.
Well, dwarves may be an exception. They have low agility, short legs, and are often covered in heavy armor. In this respect, they are indeed inferior to other races.
But they are city walls after all, and it makes a whole different matter whether they exist or not. If these steam drills and mine carts can work, then all our troops, including ogres and other troops that are not good at jumping, can easily enter the city.
The shield dwarves invented them quite some time ago, but this seems to be the first time they have been put into actual combat. Duser also simply wants to show the strength of their shield dwarves in front of Levi, this powerful new ally.
Levi was also very happy seeing this, and he directly ordered everyone to launch a general attack. As long as they could cover these people and get close to the city wall, victory would almost be in their hands!
