Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 325: Autumn's Elegant Spirit
Early the next morning, Michaela ran over happily and returned the Secondary Heavenly Legion flag to Levi.
Levi took a look and was very satisfied. Just as he had requested before, the skills attached to the battle flag did not change at all, but the quality changed from blue to purple epic.
The original limit on the number of times has also disappeared. Now as long as he has enough gold coins, he can use it at will. This is really a significant enhancement for him.
After thanking Michaela, she just smiled and shook her head, then added: "Princess Belinda asked me to thank you for you, and she also reminded you that it's best not to spend all your military merits recently."
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Sometimes smart people don't need to say too much. Now the three of them know that the opportunity Princess Belinda asked for yesterday must be of great help to her.
But they should use their military merits sparingly, because maybe some precious items or soldiers will appear later for them to exchange for?
Although he hasn't spent much recently, he also has little income after the war with the Red Cloud Tribe.
This gave him a bit of a headache. Could it be that in addition to the daily tasks of fighting against evil aliens, he also had to take on some tasks like training new recruits?
But Michaela shook her head and indicated that she didn't know. Although she had a good relationship with the Dragon Prince, Princess Belinda was also the deputy city lord, so it was normal for her to know more than her.
But she also provided Levi with a piece of information: "Because you captured the drow town, promoted the strength of your race, and contributed to the spread of faith among the gods, the Phoenix King and the Everqueen, as well as the princes and princesses of other kingdoms, are currently discussing whether the act of capturing towns of other races can be included in the military merit system in the future."
"Because of the recent war, some soldiers who performed well have been rapidly promoted in military rank. We need more territory to reward them, so Lord Imrick has a new proposal."
"For example, if the chosen heroes of God voluntarily return the captured villages and towns to us in exchange for military merit, we can then use it to reward other senior officers. So far, it seems that the success rate is very high."
The ten kingdoms of the High Elfs each have their own colonies, and the Phoenix King and the Everqueen also have some independent small overseas fortresses. These places have recently been generally hit by various natural disasters and man-made tragedies, and there are more or less some God-chosen heroes active.
Although at present, there is no battle that can match the scale of the battle in Black Castle, and there is no hero comparable to Levi's God-chosen hero, it cannot be completely ignored.
The High Elves are not a short-sighted race, they have to focus on the future.
Then Michaela changed the subject: "But the specific details are still under discussion, because no one wants to receive an empty fiefdom."
Hearing this, Levi immediately laughed. Many God-chosen heroes have the ability to capture the villages on the front line, but they cannot deal with the enemy's counterattack, so before evacuating, they often take away everything they can from the village, and even dismantle the buildings into raw materials.
If there are no restrictions on this, they will find ways to find loopholes.
But if the Dragon Prince's proposal could really succeed, he would be the one who would benefit the most among the many God-chosen heroes.
With his current strength, I can't say how many more he can do, but it is still easy to capture three or five small villages a day. Even for such a small matter, he can attack at the same time with Donna, Cindy and others.
After saying goodbye to Michaela, they officially set off. The army looked mighty, with Sky Slashers flying in the sky, carriages and giant crocodiles as mounts on the ground, and various cavalry and huntresses in front and behind for scouts and guards.
It was at this time that Anaconda and the others suddenly realized that although in their opinion the two sides had only not seen each other for a few days, Levi and the others' strength had increased many times.
Thinking back to how proud they were before, even she, who was a carefree person, couldn't help but blush a little. It was really embarrassing!
However, Levi's current troops include high elves, night elves, drow elves, and the newly arrived blood elves. Is he trying to form an elven coalition?
Hearing her ask this, Levi's heart moved, but he quickly shook his head, at least not for now.
In fact, some of the chosen heroes in Blackburg and Ashridge have already recruited winged elves and sea elves. One of them is good at air combat and the other is good at water combat, which is also a great supplement to the high elves.
But unlike the lawful high elves, most of them are in the chaotic good camp. If they really fight side by side, there will be no big troubles, but small troubles will continue.
Even if the attributes and skills of the heroes and soldiers of the Chaos Camp are the same as those of the Lawful Camp, their performance on the battlefield will be different.
Because they always want to act according to their own will and will not fight completely according to the established plan.
This casual behavior may produce better results in some battles, but it may also be worse. In short, it adds a lot of uncertainty, which many God-chosen heroes dislike very much.
At present, the troops of the lawful neutral camp may be the most useful.
Because for them, order is more important than simple good and evil. As long as the order is coordinated and correct, they will complete the goal wholeheartedly at all costs, regardless of the consequences.
The high elf gods are almost completing the nine camps, but at present, almost all members of various arms are lawful neutral or lawful good, so they are very efficient when carrying out various combat objectives.
His current main subordinates, Donna, Elegy, Zhou Miyin, Janet and Julia, are all lawful neutral. Therefore, he is usually very confident in the tasks assigned to them, because he knows that they will not cause any trouble.
But if it is the winged elves from the chaotic good camp, this cannot be guaranteed. While completing the task, they always want to do something new.
Unless Levi has obtained some special treasures or skills, it is best to wait until you have recruited hero units of the corresponding race before recruiting them.
It is always easier to discipline a hero unit than a group of troops.
After finishing this topic, Levi also asked Luna not to kill all the enemies when she found them. He also wanted to see the fighting power of the Law Breakers with his own eyes.
Donna wanted to train her new cheetah well. It had great talent, but was just at level 3 now. It couldn't play any role in a battle of a larger scale. It would be better to improve its strength as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, because this is the heartland of the high elves, God's chosen heroes and indigenous patrols can be seen coming and going almost everywhere. Apart from the goblins and ogres whose reproductive abilities are like those of rats, there are no decent enemies to be seen.
But if you just kill them, you can't test their combat effectiveness at all.
Therefore, Levi, who was a little bored, could only speed up his march, thinking that he would naturally encounter more enemies after reaching the border.
It didn't take long before they arrived at Bitao Village smoothly.
Compared to many days ago, this place has changed a lot now. Not only are there many wooden walls and watchtowers, but there are also many different types of patrolling troops.
Levi had previously obtained the architectural drawings of the Gunnery Arena, the Fiery Altar, and the Hunter Swamp. Now it seems that they have all been successfully built by the witch Tiva and her team, and the corresponding troops have been recruited.
Moreover, the number and types of Spartans have increased a lot compared to before he left. It seems that the small village has developed well recently and has enough energy to support Leonidas.
Because their army was large and they had notified the village in advance, the witch Tiva, Leonidas, Sam, as well as old subordinates such as the animal trainer were all waiting for his arrival at the village entrance.
Since he didn't plan to stay for too long, Levi only allowed some of his trusted subordinates and the three Anaconda sisters to enter the village.
While observing the changes in the village, Levi asked about the latest situation.
All in all, everything went smoothly in the village. Whether it was training wild beasts, exterminating the undead, or picking pearls, no accidents ever occurred and the village was always very safe.
Originally they had to be wary of attacks from the merfolk, but ever since the sea elves and others officially declared war on the Shahua merfolk, the merfolk seemed to have been driven by the Shahua merfolk to join the war, and they almost disappeared from this place.
The most recent time was three days ago, when some defeated murlocs ran to this area. Before Leonidas could get on the newly built boat and lead the crocodile people to join the battle, a group of Nagas had already chased them to the vicinity of the village and killed all of them.
They even apologized for it, saying they had missed some enemies and left some corals and other things as gifts before leaving. They were generous and good Nagas.
Levi chuckled. Only Leonidas thought that the other party was generous. For marine creatures, what was the difference between coral and stone?
However, the movements of the Nagas are worth paying some attention to.
The Naga also has a racial god, and has always been at war with the Snake God, but this Naga goddess is different from many gods, she is very willful.
When she is in a good mood, she may respond to her believers three times a day. When she is in a bad mood, she may not respond for more than ten years. If it were not for her, she would still grant her priests divine powers, and even the Nagas would suspect that she was dead.
So gradually, except for the Naga, other races may not know her name.
In this situation, although the Naga tribe has great talent and strength, they have not been able to make any progress. There is no way, because their goddess took the lead in doing bad things.
Under normal circumstances, with so many gods declaring war on the Shahua people, the Naga Goddess, who already has many conflicts and disputes with the Shahua people, should also take advantage of the situation to declare war and seek revenge.
But so many days have passed, and she hasn't made any movement. It is obvious that she is still in a state of being in a bad state, and her believers have to take the lead themselves.
Well, speaking of it, this Naga goddess's slacking seems to have lasted for decades. Even for her, this should be the first time that it has lasted so long...
After looking around, the three anaconda sisters were very satisfied with the environment and geographical location here, so they immediately decided to keep some of the sisters and build this place into an outpost for their Amazon for later comers to temporarily stay.
Levi also signaled to the witch Tiva to provide them with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and try his best to meet all their reasonable requests. Anyway, he is very rich now, and the village is also rich under Tiva's management.
In return, Anaconda immediately stated that every time a sister arrived, some members would stay behind to cooperate in the defense and provide the village with some recruitment quotas.
But they couldn't be sure of the specific number and type of troops, because they had no way of knowing in advance what kind of sisters would come in the future.
After signaling Leonidas to take some people to help, Levi followed the witch Tiwa to the menagerie.
Things were going smoothly there as well. Various beast-type troops, such as crocodiles, jackals, ferocious ostriches, etc., were in good order. There were also several animal trainers in charge outside, whom she recruited according to Levi's orders.
Their daily task is to take them to beat up the undead, and once they are upgraded to a certain level, they will be handed over to Lotus, who will take them to other places to sell them in exchange for gold coins and other resources. They have become very skilled at the whole process.
With the closure of the Abyss Rift, the chance of high-level undead appearing in that ancient battlefield has been greatly reduced. Now basically the strongest ones are the ghouls and the like. As long as you bring antidotes and the like, this kind of battle is almost risk-free.
Occasionally, a few soldiers such as Tomb Demons and Ghosts may appear, which are relatively difficult to deal with.
But in that situation, there was no need for the witch Tiva to take action personally. The fire elements and flame elements they brought with them could easily deal with the opponent.
At the same time, Tiwa also said that there was a little surprise waiting for him. That was the wind element that was initially a summoned creature and later became his subordinate, and happened to have reached the critical moment of advancement again yesterday.
Since she knew he was coming today, she did not act on her own but waited for him to decide for himself.
Levi was indeed surprised. Among all his subordinates, the Wind Element was the one that had followed him the longest.
It can even be said that if he had not obtained the magic of summoning elements and the wind element had not appeared, his subsequent circumstances might have been very different.
But because its strength could not keep up with the rapidly increasing battles, he arranged for it to retire here. Unexpectedly, by killing skeletons and zombies every day, it actually had the opportunity to advance.
But when it reappeared in front of him, before he could check its attributes or anything, the system prompt had already popped up.
"Due to its racial talent, the medium-sized wind element sensed the information of other powerful wind elemental mutants that once remained in you. It made a request to you. If you are willing to give it the corresponding items, perhaps it will have a new possibility of advancement."
Levi was a little confused because he didn't quite understand what the other party was referring to.
There was no other way. After conquering the drow city, he had really made a lot of spoils. He basically kept the treasures, materials, equipment and the like in the city, but there were still some small things that he hadn't figured out completely, because some of them even had question marks in the system notes.
Normally, these things were either complete waste, or already broken, or they were special items that were sealed by magic and required certain conditions to be triggered.
After carefully selecting in the space ring, he finally took out a few things that might be related to the other party.
The wind element spun in front of him, and then he saw that the opponent's advancement options had increased from 1 to 4.
Branch 1, Large Wind Element, which can be further advanced to Extra Large, Giant, and Elder Wind Element. It is the most normal advancement route for Wind Element and requires 1.3 gold coins;
Branch 2, God Monster, originated from a destroyed wizard organization. It has weak combat ability but can release several buff magics. It requires 1.1 gold coins.
Branch 3, the Wind Lamp God, is a mutated wind element entity that needs a magic lamp as support and cannot fight outside for a long time. It requires 1.5 gold coins;
Branch 4, Autumn Elves, are special creatures that look similar to elves and also believe in Corellon, but are essentially fey. Their abilities vary, but they have great potential. It requires 2 gold coins.
Levi suddenly found it interesting. He had heard of the first three and had a certain degree of understanding of them.
The large wind element had long been his summoned creature, so it didn't matter if there was one more or one less.
Monsters are relatively rare tier 4 troops. Unfortunately, in many cases, rarity does not mean strength. It is also possible that they become rare because they are too weak and have been killed by many people.
Gods and monsters are typical examples of this. As a warrior-type soldier, their health is only slightly stronger than that of thieves and magic soldiers of the same level. Their advantage is that they can release several low-level enhancement magics and can fly.
The Gale Djinn is the creation of the Arabi warlocks. It has decent combat capabilities, but requires a supply of magic power, otherwise it cannot last long.
As for the last Autumn Graceful Spirit, it was the first time Levi had heard of it, but both its highest price and the information in the notes were enough to make him interested in it.
It turns out that among the followers of the Elf God King Corellon, there are actually some special elven creatures?
He didn't know much about the Autumn Elegant Spirit, but he had some information about the spirit creatures. Basically, they could be understood as magical creatures born from concepts or nature.
Theoretically, all things in the world can become spirits. Water spirits embody the beauty of nature, tree spirits represent the heart of the forest, war spirits symbolize the power and cruel nature of battle, and the clown spirits they encountered in the Underdark before were born from laughter, and so on.
Compared to mortals such as humans or elves, they generally have some special abilities, and have a certain resistance to physical or magical attacks, and their intelligence is generally not too low.
So following this line of reasoning, the Elegant Spirit of Autumn was most likely born from the concept of autumn?
Then he suddenly remembered that when he was leveling up before, a skill called "Four Seasons Summoning" had appeared in his magic list.
At that time, he thought it might be magic that changed the climate in a small area, but now he thought that it might be related to these elegant spirits.
Since there is autumn, there must be three other seasons!
But even though he already had an idea in his mind, Levi still went through the process and asked the wind element about his thoughts.
As it turns out, although the wind element's current intelligence is not particularly high, it is not stupid either. It agrees with Levi's idea and also chooses the Autumn Elegant Spirit because this choice is the rarest.
Then, accompanied by flashes of light, everyone around watched it transform from a large ball of gust of wind into an adult male elf holding a longbow with an arrow across his body.
Almost the moment he appeared, their eyes fell on his face at the same time, as if there was something there that attracted their attention.
Then Levi was the first to react. He frowned slightly and said, "Put away your ability."
He is a man and likes women. Normally, he would not stare at a man so seriously. This could only be due to his ability.
"Hold, I'm sorry, sir, I'm not very skilled yet."
After the promotion, Qiu Zhi Yaling spoke with a slight stutter, but soon everyone found that the special attraction had disappeared.
Then he knelt on one knee and pledged his loyalty to Levi.
Levi then smiled and asked the other person to stand up, and gave him a name, "Autumn Wind".
After this special advancement, Qiu Feng lost almost all of his original talents and powers, leaving only a wind blade, which was replaced by a new set of attributes and skills.
His attributes are very average, including strength, agility, and intelligence. His physique is slightly low, but his charisma is high.
In terms of skills, there are intermediate longsword, elementary bow and arrow, magic resistance, followed by two first-level magics, sleep and charm person, and a cure for light wounds.
If you only look at this point, his ability is just good, not excellent. He has just become a bucket-type soldier who is proficient in both magic and martial arts.
If he were to be compared with some soldiers of the same rank with more extreme attributes, such as a powerful cavalry unit, a charge from the opponent might seriously injure him on the spot, and then a shot might kill him instantly, without giving him the chance to use magic.
But the last one is truly special, and it comes from the racial innate ability of the Autumn Elegant Spirit.
A charming existence. The difficulty for the enemy to resist the charm magic cast by him is slightly increased. After the charm is successful, there is a 15% chance to make the opponent your temporary ally. The success rate and duration are based on the level, intelligence and charm of both parties.
Normally, Charm Person can only make the target think that you are a trustworthy friend and ally, but it cannot control the other party. Moreover, once a battle is initiated, the magic effect will immediately fail, and the opponent will instead gain a temporary bonus against mental magic. After all, it is only a level 1 magic.
But his special skill has a chance to fundamentally change its effect, which is too powerful.
Unfortunately, Levi only has one magic item that allows him to advance. Otherwise, if he could create an army composed of elegant spirits, many battles could be resolved without any injuries from start to finish.
Now, we can only focus on training him, and hope that he might be able to contact other elegant spirits.
After changing Qiu Feng into some better equipment and giving him some inspirational words, Levi let him go play aside, because what Diva really wanted to say was obviously not about him, but about herself.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, Tiwa gritted her teeth, imitated Qiu Feng just now, and knelt on one knee in front of Levi.
Levi had enough time to stop her, but he didn't because this was a critical moment to clarify the identities of both parties.
"Master Levi, after living in Bitao Village for these days, I have fallen in love with this place. I also like to act under your command. I hope you can take me in!"
As the system prompt popped up, Levi smiled and helped the other person up: "Of course, I'd love to!"
After taking a few casual glances, Levi finally understood why Tiwa was a witch and not a wizard.
Because her attributes and skills are quite different from those of an orthodox wizard. Not only has she learned fewer and fewer types of magic, but the magic she has learned is also basically not that good.
Her level was obviously 6/5, but the only things she could really show off were Mage Armor, Stoneskin, Quicksand Trap, Summon Archon, Burning Arrows and Grease, as well as a 2nd-level magic that might have been newly learned by her - Earth Claws, and that was it.
Three of the magics were obtained from him, and were generally of very low levels, totally unworthy of her level.
Levi even thought that in a head-on battle, there was a high chance that she would be beaten up by Sally, who was not yet a hero, or even Lily.
In terms of campaign skills, in addition to Eagle Vision, there is also a useless Pathfinding skill.
Her expertise is pretty good, including spell identification, earth mastery, stone skin mastery, wisdom and academics, which allow her to copy some low-level magic from the magic book that comes with her skills for subsequent study.
The only racial talent of the werewolf that is useful is dark vision, but in general, even with Eagle Vision, don't expect her to go out and fight. Just stay at home and look after the house. She likes this anyway.
After truly confirming the status and relationship between the two parties, there was no more politeness. Levi directly threw her some equipment, various potions, scrolls and other consumable scrolls.
Diva gave him the gold coins that the village had recently accumulated, but Levi only took a symbolic portion of it.
Although Bitao Village was the first to develop, it could not be compared with Ostak City in terms of income. He was not short of this little money at the moment.
The rest are at her disposal. She can use them to recruit soldiers from the tavern. If there are heroic units passing by, she must do her best to keep them. If Lotus brings any good stuff, she can also take it down.
More importantly, if the Nagas chase the enemy here again next time, they must treat them well.
Ordinary Nagas are much stronger than ordinary sea elves. If they can be recruited, Bitao Village will become safer.
