Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 317 City Lord Levi
Several hours later, after a somewhat lengthy street fight, Levi and his men finally killed the last resister and truly occupied the entire city of Ostak.
This process was slower than he had expected. He thought that since he had two siege experiences, he would be able to end this battle faster. However, he still underestimated the hatred of most drow elves for the high elves from the surface world.
They killed all the enemy's regular troops on the front battlefield, but the drow who had been hiding in houses, markets, taverns, or other buildings rushed out and launched suicidal attacks on them.
It was precisely because of these attacks that Levi and his companions realized that the drow in the city of Ostak might truly be a nation of soldiers.
Although these drow were very brave, since even the regular army was defeated, it was natural that these militiamen would be no match for them.
After the dwarves and golems that were supposed to clean up the battlefield finished cleaning up and arrived one after another, the speed of clearing out the enemy became even faster.
However, there were dozens of drow families of varying sizes in the city, and each family had hiding places like basements. Some drow continued to resist in them, which wasted some of their time.
There were quite a few imprisoned slaves who had been staying there obediently.
There were even some cave dwellers who had participated in the war and then escaped, and finally ran back and locked themselves up.
Compared with the drow, they unexpectedly reduced some of the workload of Levi and his team.
Therefore, Levi also sent people to identify some slaves from the surface world who were relatively friendly, such as humans and dwarves, and released them and converted them into civilians.
After this battle, there were a lot of ruins in the city of Ostak, and the arrow towers and city walls were badly damaged, which required their help in cleaning and repairing.
It's no wonder that these drow are experts in capturing slaves. Even after selection, Levi and his men easily liberated more than 500 slaves. Now the town has a new group of initial residents.
When the system prompted them that they had won another resounding victory, it also proved that the battle was completely over.
But for Levi, this is just the beginning.
"The coalition army led by you successfully captured the city of Ostak at a very low cost. Your good command has begun to spread throughout the Underdark. Your legend degree +1."
Now Levi roughly understood that when it comes to town level, the system often rewards legendary degree rather than regional legendary degree.
Because this kind of town is of extraordinary significance to the indigenous people, their colony of Caledo originally only had three towns in total.
"Crimson Knight's chessboard, charge points +360."
"Because you have achieved great victories in a short period of time, you have further attracted the attention of the Crimson Knights."
"Your combat level increases by 14, and you can choose new magic."
"The current random magic list is:
Level 4 magic: sun cloak, steel drill blast, levitation, fire wall;
Level 5 magic: Emerald Explosion, Telepathic Barrier, Fossil to Mud;
Level 6 Magic: Supreme Robe."
Without any hesitation, Levi would of course choose only the last option. Not to mention that it was the only rank 6 magic that had appeared so far, he also believed that it might be a relatively rare celestial magic!
Supreme Robe (Level 6): Active skill, consumes 135 magic points, allows the target to gain holy power, and for every 5 casting levels of the caster, increases magic resistance by 5 points, defense by 10 points, and immunity to energy absorption effects. The duration is based on level and intelligence, etc.
Levi was a little shocked. Is this the power of the sixth-level heavenly magic?
He is now level 14. With just one spell, he can increase his or a friendly unit's magic resistance by 10 points and defense by 20 points? This is almost like wearing an extra piece of epic armor!
"Your Celestial Mystic has been upgraded to level 4, you have obtained the Crystal Heaven - the blessing of Solanya, and you have obtained the supernatural power - Heaven's Calling.
Heaven Summoning: When you summon celestial creatures, based on your own level and intelligence, as well as your reputation with the other party, you can summon multiple celestial creatures at once, but the total number cannot exceed your summoning limit.
If you do this, you will need to consume an additional 0.3 times the mana and other necessary costs."
"You can spend 77X5 gold coins as a gift to directly comprehend the supernatural power - Heaven's Leader."
“Leading the Heavens, you can make the celestial creatures you summon enjoy the bonuses of your battle skills and battle attributes.
If you do this, the other party will not receive the bonus of being a summoned creature, and will need to use your leadership. "
"You can spend 77X7 gold coins as a gift to directly comprehend the special passive skill - immunity to disease, and 77X12 gold coins as a gift to comprehend the special passive skill - immunity to toxins."
Because of the great surprise, Levi felt as if his brain was a little numb.
What worries him most recently is that before each battle, it takes too much time to summon celestial creatures, but the combat effectiveness of most of them is not particularly ideal.
But now, the two supernatural abilities, Heaven Summoning and Heaven Leading, directly solved most of his problems.
It is a small trouble that it takes up leadership, but there is no shortage of equipment to improve leadership, and the extra 0.3 times is not a problem for him at the moment.
If this is paired with the Secondary Heavenly Kingdom Legion's battle flag, in a small-scale battle, I'm afraid I won't even have to lead the troops!
And the two special passive skills at the end also require gold coins. Aren’t they too powerful?
Although the amount of gold coins consumed also increased, it still gave him a sense of unreality.
There may not be many enemies using diseases, most of them are necromancers or mummies. It may be a bit troublesome for warriors, but the purification of priests and druids can easily deal with it.
There are definitely hundreds of enemies that can use poison, and there are many types.
Nerve poison, blood poison, and corrosive poison are the more common ones. They basically manifest as continuous blood loss, paralysis, slowdown or weakening of defense, etc. Some of them may even have a poisoning effect on special races such as elemental creatures or undead creatures.
Some magic can also cause poisoning effects. For example, drow wizards and drow spider masters are very good at this ability.
But now this special passive skill does not have any additional suffixes. Does that mean that as long as he spends the money, he will be immune to all poisons from now on?
For all mortal beings under the gods, this is something that can only be dreamed of but not achieved, right?
Just over a thousand gold coins can give you permanent immunity to diseases and toxins. This is really worth it!
Fortunately, he is a hero chosen by God. If he were an ordinary native, I really don’t know how long it would take to collect so many gold coins.
He also had a vague feeling that there might be many more similar places in the future where he would need to spend money.
It seems that part of the blessing of the Seven Heavens Mountain has nothing to do with poor people...
Since the level and attributes already met the requirements, Levi immediately used the compensation from Visharon, so within a short period of time, he obtained level 6 magic and level 7 magic successively.
Finger of Death (Level 7), an active skill, consumes 150 magic points. You can immediately try to kill a target (the success rate is based on your intelligence, level, the opponent's physique and magic resistance, etc.).
If the instant death effect does not take effect, the target will suffer a large amount of damage (based on your level and intelligence).
Note: Since this magic was taught by the Lich God himself, it will ignore 5-15 points of the target's magic resistance when attacking.
Levi was suddenly a little surprised. He didn't expect that Visharon's magic would give him some extra help.
If this guy knew that his current fate was largely due to his own information, he would probably want to eat him alive, right?
Well, considering the possible consequences, Levi decided to keep it secret for the time being.
Although Visharoon's kingdom was destroyed and all the gods and believers in it were killed, now that he has drifted to the main world, he, the Lich God, has become extremely secretive and deadly.
Before the many forces that were besieging him discovered his exact location, Levi felt that he should keep a low profile and not attract his attention.
In Levi's opinion, this kind of instant death magic may pose a relatively low threat to the indigenous people, but to other God-chosen heroes, the threat is extremely great.
Especially since his current level and intelligence have already crushed almost all God-chosen heroes, this threat has increased.
The only drawback may be that as a 7th-level magic, its casting time will be relatively long.
"Donna's combat level has been raised to 12, and she has gained the expertise - Evasion."
Dodge. A ranger can try to use her agility to evade attacks and spells. When attacked and damaged, she can immediately attempt to dodge the damage (based on her level, Dexterity, etc.).
If the judgment is successful, it is possible to reduce 10%-25% of the damage suffered.
This expertise seems to be very good, but unfortunately Donna will not have many opportunities to use it. As the hero whose status in the team is second only to Levi, she is rarely attacked by the enemy.
What followed was a series of prompts about the subordinates' upgrades or advancements. However, since it did not involve many important subordinates, Levi just casually took a look at the more valuable giant eagles and so on.
In fact, because of the special passive skill that costs money, he is now somewhat unable to remain calm, and he wants to possess them urgently.
Although there were not enough gold coins in his space ring, they had captured an entire town this time, so there must be enough gold coins in the warehouse, right?
So he let his subordinates rest for a while and then prepare to deploy defenses, and he went directly to the direction of the conference room.
After walking a few steps, another system prompt appeared: "After careful planning, the coalition forces composed of high elves, dwarves, and shield dwarves have successfully captured the drow elves-Ostark City, and all the drow families in the city have been destroyed."
Then there is a prompt directed solely to Levi, asking him whether he wants to occupy or destroy something.
Of course Levi would choose to occupy it. Wasn't it just to capture this place that he had gone through so much effort?
So the next moment, he found that he had a new title - the Lord of Ostak City!
Ostak City
Lord: Levi
City Lord: Levi
Deputy City Lord: None
Garrison officer: None, 5 vacancies
Garrison: None.
Villagers: 535
Tax rate: Normal (adjustable)
architecture:
City lord's mansion, 528 residential houses, enchanted city wall (damaged), dark light gate, 58 watchtowers (damaged), drow warrior camp, drow crossbowman training center, stone blind barbarian training ground, 5 general stores, 3 blacksmith shops, armory, 3 taverns, drow priest banquet hall, drow mage meditation room, 6 Rose Temples, 25 Rose Shrines, demon torture chamber, material warehouse, slave cellar, dark mercenary guild, slave pens, giant spider nests x3, underground giant lizard caves, magic guild (primary), evil eye pillar, death arena, black market, prison.
characteristic:
1. Dark Light of Spider Queen Rose. It is said that there are relics of the Spider Queen in this town, so its appeal to drow and spiders has been greatly increased, and the output of the corresponding God-given buildings has been slightly increased.
Note: This effect can only take effect if the city lord and most of the city members choose to believe in the Spider Queen Rose. Otherwise, the drow and spiders in other towns may frequently launch attacks in order to seize this holy place in their minds.
2. Deadly Arena. The casualty rate in the death arena is extremely high. It is said that the land has long been stained with blood. Therefore, there is a low chance of attracting special evil beings such as vampires and demons to watch the battle or participate in the competition.
vassal:
1. Bone Collectors - Harpy Tribe;
2. Ant-Dark Ant-Man's Lair.
(This place belongs to the royal power system - High Elves - Kingdom of Caledor - Levi Goethe)
"You have obtained the title - Lord of Ostak City, Leadership +500, Legend +1, and you have absolute control over this town."
"Because you seized a drow town that worshipped the Spider Queen Lolth, your reputation with them has dropped to mortal enemy, and your reputation with Selvetarm has dropped to hatred."
After reading this series of system prompts, Levi felt like he had drunk a bottle of iced drink on a hot day. In one word - refreshing!
There are a large number of buildings in this town, and there are nearly 10 types of soldiers for recruitment. Even though most of them are evil-oriented, Levi himself does not need them, so he can ask the Sun Knight, Qian Thief and Cai Jin to recruit them.
There are also a variety of special buildings.
The Demon Torture Chamber can consume a certain amount of resources to summon bound demons, and then directly slaughter them to gain experience points. In Levi's opinion, this is basically equivalent to spending money to buy experience points, but the cost is not low.
Slave cellars and the like can be used to gradually tame captured enemies and make them work, but you don't have to pay them wages, just a meal. Of course, you also have to be careful that they don't run away or rebel.
The death arena is where all kinds of soldiers can be thrown in to fight, often until death.
As the city lord, Levi can collect ticket fees. He takes the lion's share, and the winners in the arena share the remaining small portion.
At the same time, he can also offer additional spoils to attract more participants.
If there are winners that he or other spectators like, he can sell them and make some money, which can be said to be fully utilizing their value.
There is a chance to buy things on the black market that are not available in ordinary stores, but the cost may also exceed the original price of the item. Just like drawing a blind box, it also depends on the buyer's vision and luck.
The Dark Mercenary Guild is similar to the black market, where various types of soldiers from various races appear randomly, relying purely on luck.
The effect of the Magic Guild is similar to that of the Magic Library in the Black Castle, where one can learn all kinds of magic.
But considering that this thing belongs to the drow and is of elementary level, not only is the magic contained in it of a lower level, it is probably mostly related to poison, curse, and the like.
There is nothing much to say about the prison. For the drow, those guys who have certain value but have not yet been tamed into slaves will be thrown into the prison. Levi plans to go and take a look later, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.
He felt that those temples and shrines of Rose were a little tricky at first. Directly destroying the temples or statues of gods would undoubtedly be the most direct blasphemy.
But he changed his mind and realized that he still had Pamela and the others on his side. The Eilistraee they believed in had been fighting with the Spider Queen Rose for who knows how many years. They definitely wouldn't mind doing these things. Maybe it would be good for them.
However, he found the two characteristics of the town very interesting.
Especially the former, does this mean that there will be an endless stream of drow and giant spiders coming to get beaten up in the future?
It is the second feature that seems to be of little significance at present, and may even be a hidden danger.
It would be fine if it was an ordinary evil enemy, but if it was a vampire of Dracula's level who came running over following the scent, wouldn't his town be in danger of changing hands?
Although that probability must be very small, it cannot be completely ignored.
So Levi decided to let the celestial creatures cooperate in defense as soon as possible, build a temple of the elven god in the city, and strengthen the strength of the defenders as much as possible.
The God-given Divine Foot and the previously acquired but unused architectural blueprints were all used here, and then the focus was quickly shifted from the Blood Glory to this place.
If the old witch agreed, he even wanted to move the bee people tribe here. The bee people's frontal combat capability was very weak, but as a flying force, their reconnaissance ability was very good.
There is only one direction in the city of Ostak where enemies may appear. With advance precautions and a full complement of main forces, it will be absolutely no problem to defend against enemies that are several times larger in number.
He even decided to move Lisadilan and the Qin people here. Although he had the help of the town's garrison, he was still alone and deep in the territory, which was dangerous. It would be better for them to stay here.
Moreover, the resources in that village will not be wasted. Levi can find a way to sell them. There are also some special products there, so there will be no worries about not being able to sell them.
At the same time, this town has two small vassal forces, one is the Harpy and the other is the Dark Ant.
Every once in a while, they would hand over a portion of their resources or income to the town, and were obliged to provide a certain amount of troops free of charge to assist in defense.
But considering that they had hardly shown up in previous battles, Levi thought that they might have just experienced a great battle and were in an extremely weak state, otherwise there was no reason for the drow to let them go so easily.
Despite this, Levi still decided to send Cai Jin and the others to take a look at the specific situation. If the other party still chose to surrender, then so be it. If the other party wanted to rebel, then let Cai Jin kill them directly.
Anyway, these two races are weak, and Levi has no interest in them.
However, he felt that the distinction between a city and a town was not as strict as he had imagined. Ashridge Town was obviously larger in area and had a larger population, but it was still a town, while Ostak, which was much smaller in area, was a city.
But it doesn't matter much, it's just a name.
In comparison, Rose's hatred was insignificant. As a high elf, even if he did nothing, Rose would never have any goodwill towards him.
As for Selvetarm, he is the patron saint of drow warriors, grandson of Rose, also known as "Rose's fighter", Rose's loyal lackey, and the only drow god loyal to Rose. It is understandable that he hates me for this reason.
However, the status of drow warriors is very low among the drow. Every time a battle occurs, whether it is internal or external, they are bound to suffer the heaviest losses.
In addition, the total number of drow is not particularly large, which means that Xiyoutam has always been a weak divine power and the threat is not actually that great.
After thinking for a while, Levi called Pamela over and said directly: "I wonder if you, the Moon Singers, are interested in settling here? I also welcome you to build a temple for the goddess Eilistraee here."
Of course, the temples of the two goddesses, Yuegong and Lilith, will be built as soon as possible.
If Illidan is interested, Levi can also be considered one.
At the same time, he decided to contact the Red Brotherhood immediately and let Cai Jin establish a contact point here as well. In short, he wanted to improve the defense of this place as much as possible, because for a long time in the future, this would probably be his most important stronghold.
Pamela nodded excitedly: "Of course, I was thinking of asking you this, Levi!"
These benevolent drow have always been besieged and hunted by the evil drow, and have not occupied any towns of any size. They either live in small villages, city ruins, or simply wander in the wild.
In this environment, not to mention the growth in strength, their numbers would decrease almost every year and every month.
Although in recent years, some of their members have established contact with some kind and lawful human kingdoms on the surface world through the Underdark.
Therefore, some small gathering places can be established near some passages that are closer to the surface, which can be considered as mutual assistance.
But this is still far from enough to change the current situation. They are at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation with Rose's followers.
Now Levi's proposal not only allows them to obtain a stable settlement, but also enables them to establish direct contact with the high elves.
This was something they had never dared to imagine before, because the high elves never focused their attention on the Underdark or them!
Levi thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Pamela, there are still many God-given buildings in the city that recruit drow. Do you have any way to deal with them?"
The others are fine, but there are also God-given buildings for recruiting drow priests and drow mages.
Even though the abilities obviously have some special tendencies, most of which are related to darkness or poison, they are magic units after all!
Pamela nodded immediately and said, "Yes, no problem. After spending a certain amount of magic materials and gold coins, we can use the goddess' blessing to change the summoned soldiers to become good."
Levi suddenly felt much more comfortable. If the opponent's camp became the good camp, he could also recruit some of them. In this way, it would be possible to form a new mage group.
After dealing with the most important drow, the only ones left are the giant spiders, underground giant lizards, grimlocks, and evil eyes.
The first two types of soldiers are beasts, and their own camps are neutral, so they have no impact. The underground giant lizard can also be used as a mount and its value is not low.
There is no way to deal with the Stoneblinds and the Evil Eyes, as they are thoroughly evil camps, so the Sun Knights can only take advantage of them.
