Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 350 Chain Lightning
Levi suddenly felt it was very interesting. This copy was very different from the one in the Black Castle . It was actually a small competition between the main world and the first layer of hell.
Compared to the Black Castle, which is full of unknowns every time you enter, here there are certain restrictions on the strength of both the enemy and our own forces, so there is no need to worry about the emergence of too powerful enemy forces.
But we can't be careless. If the devils get angry, they will send out the highest combat force allowed by the rules every time. With 10 level 15 devil heroes and 200 level 5 devils participating in the battle each time, that would be a very scary force.
As for the special treasures mentioned by the system, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be the things that were scattered when the Phantom Goddess self-destructed.
I just don’t know whether it is a fragment of the godhead, divinity, or something else.
While the last piece of information seemed very ordinary, Levi felt that he could very likely use it to do something.
It was suddenly quiet here. The Xirik Church would definitely send someone to check it out. If he could set up an ambush in advance, wouldn't it be a big surprise for the other party?
As if in response to his guess, the blood-red light beam in the air quickly converged until it disappeared.
The gate that was originally emitting light seemed to have lost its electricity. At first glance, it was made of black unknown substance, and its size had even shrunk by several percent.
Whether it was Shudun, Zhang San and others who were delighted with the great victory, or Lucia and Martis who were chatting more and more happily, they were all attracted.
Seeing their collective confused expressions, Levi knew that the system was really good to him this time. It seemed that even Shudun and others who also participated in the battle were unable to get detailed prompts from the system.
However, he did not reveal too much for the time being. He just casually chose chain lightning as his new magic. The portal had been closed, so he naturally did not need to waste this opportunity.
Chain Lightning (Level 6): Releases a powerful bolt of lightning, causing heavy damage to the primary target. After hitting, the lightning will jump to another secondary target within a few meters, causing half the damage to it. If it jumps again afterwards, the damage will no longer decay.
The maximum jump distance of lightning is (3 + (level + intelligence) / 5) meters. If there is no secondary target within the range, the magic will end immediately.
The maximum number of secondary targets is (your level + Intelligence), and you can specify each secondary target individually or have the magic choose secondary targets randomly.
You can also terminate , but in any case, the same target can only be hit once at most.
How to say it, as the most famous 6th-level magic, Levi believes that it is not as powerful as expected for a God-chosen hero like himself who commands a large army.
Because it is too random, it is easy to accidentally injure friendly forces. After all, most offensive magic does not distinguish between friend and foe.
And with his current strength, Lightning can jump about 10 meters each time. If it does not specify a target, it is entirely possible for it to cross the entire battlefield within a few seconds.
Although he could specify the target, even if each designation only took him 0.1 seconds, it would still take him several seconds to cast one spell with thirty or forty targets.
With this much time, he could complete a new mid- to high-level magic.
It should be most suitable for the lone wizard who uses magic such as flying to bombard the enemy from a high position and then ignores it after that.
But no matter what, we still have to see the actual effect. Let's find more enemies to test it later.
At this time, Martis and Lucia also walked over side by side.
"Levi, Lucia is right. Perhaps I should find out the truth of what happened. However, I am currently employed by the Bane Church. I wonder if you can help me with this?"
Although it was only a few minutes, Levi could see that Maltis's temperament from the inside out had undergone a fundamental change.
Even her eyes began to shine again, now like a pair of dazzling rubies.
Because she found hope, just like Lucia did.
After secretly sighing for a while, even though the other party did not ask anything specific, Levi still nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, leave it to me, I will do my best."
Anyway, I can ask Lucia about the specific matter later. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be related to her death. Lucia will not let me down.
After nodding to Levi, Maltis turned and was about to leave.
Levi quickly waved his hand to indicate that the other party had not yet obtained the spoils she deserved, and he was still thinking of joining forces with her and the Church of Bane to deal with the Church of Cyric again.
A lot of changes may happen within the 24 hours after the copy is made public.
Unexpectedly, Maltis waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care about the spoils at all. The Bane Church gave her a lot of rewards, and she hasn't used it all yet.
This time she lost some troops again, so the remaining people could get more.
Levi was speechless. There was indeed nothing wrong with this idea, but her attitude towards the members of the Legion of Fear, as if they were consumables that could be abandoned or sacrificed at will, made him somewhat uncomfortable with it.
But looking at how lifeless those guys looked from beginning to end, he felt that this was not completely incomprehensible, because the difference between them and zombies now might be that they could still breathe.
No one knows what methods the old black dragon used at the time, but it did produce some very qualified cannon fodder.
But he didn't want to take advantage of this small opportunity. He was still thinking about recruiting the other party, so of course he had to show his generous and magnanimous side.
And he really had something to ask her and discuss with her.
So Maltis stayed for a few more minutes before leaving with some of the spoils that Levi had forced upon him, as well as some information to be delivered to the Bane Church.
Levi also learned a lot of useful information from the other party.
Just like the colony established by the Dragon Prince, the three nearby towns that currently belong to humans, and the more villages around them, actually did not always belong to humans. Humans are actually also colonists.
The real indigenous people here were, at first, dwarves who had no strength and their reproductive capacity gradually declined, so they occupied a large number of the plains, and later they were greenskins, beastmen, etc.
Even now, the three races of greenskins, beastmen and dwarves are still engaged in uninterrupted fighting in the plains and mountains of the West covering millions of square kilometers, which are called the Badlands.
As the name suggests, it is really not a good place. In comparison, the rocky highlands that were originally occupied by the jackals are much better.
Originally, the dwarves who occupied Karak Ironforge, the Dark Iron Mine and the Filth Pit were adjacent to Deadwater Town. Although they did not like the Church of Bane, they would generally not easily provoke a war.
Further west are the countless kingdoms and clans of greenskins, wild orcs and dwarves, who have been at war for who knows how many years.
The dwarves mainly occupied the mountains and built various fortresses in the mountains, mainly for defense.
The greenskins occupied the plains, and in most cases they were the ones who took the initiative to launch external attacks.
Occasionally there are some evil races such as the undead, ratmen, etc., but most of them are insignificant.
To the north of the Badlands is the core area of many dwarves in the entire main world, Karazha a Karak of the Silver Road.
Theoretically, every dwarven kingdom, or the dwarves in a castle, can have its own king, but there is only one High King of the dwarves, and that is Thorgrim the Grudgebearer who is among them.
To the south of the Badlands is the area once known as Nehekhara, which was once fertile plains, but is now mostly an endless desert.
In addition to the coastal towns and villages, there are some human colonists, a small number of settlers near the oases in the desert, and some nomadic peoples, but the most famous are the Tomb Kings.
In the eyes of the chosen heroes, those guys are just weird otakus who hardly do any expansion, but if outsiders invade, they will often take the most drastic measures to drive them away.
They command both the dead and the living, but the number of the living is far less than the dead, which directly leads to the continuous weakening of the gods they believe in.
To the west of the Tomb Kings is the Araby region. All the heroes under Zhang San's command were from there.
This is a bit off topic, but in short, because of the dwarves as a barrier, towns like Deadwater were relatively safe before. Except for the occasional small groups of beastmen crossing the mountains and attacking certain villages, they were hardly invaded by greenskins.
But now the situation has changed. The dwarves who occupied the Black Iron Mine and the Pollution Pit have suffered unprecedented damage for some unknown reasons. It is said that even several castles have been destroyed by some mysterious enemies.
So the greenskins, beastmen and others nearby immediately began to become agitated again. They began to gather their troops, as if preparing for a big fight.
There was even a large group of ratmen who appeared out of nowhere and joined the carnival that was about to begin.
The dwarves could no longer serve as a reliable barrier, and the Church of Bane had to spend a lot of energy exploring and even deploying defenses in the border areas.
Wars between different races are often much more brutal than civil wars among humans.
This is especially true for races such as Greenskins, Beastmen, and Skaven, because they have no need to take prisoners and may even view humans as food.
When the Church of Cyric captured the village before, they only killed the defenders instead of slaughtering the villagers, because their church also needed to develop new believers among the villagers.
But if the greenskins or beastmen succeed in a sneak attack, there will be no chance of any living villagers in ordinary villages. Even the corpses will be packed up and taken away.
If that happens, it will have a huge impact on the church's faith, and the Bane Church does not want to see that happen.
Levi guessed that the beastmen were most likely related to the Mala Church, but his personal undercover agent, Chen Zhui of the End Times, had not yet sent any detailed information, so he was not completely sure.
But he was somewhat confused about the movements of those greenskins, as the current intelligence was too limited.
As for those ratmen, he had even less idea.
There is no way, mainly because these guys are both cunning and despicable.
They burrow underground every day, and town sewers, ruins, or the underworld can all become soil for their survival.
For ordinary small forces, not only do we not know how their troops are deployed, we don’t even know where their lairs are.
Now we can only take things one step at a time. Anyway, the Bane Church is at the forefront, and they will be the first to be beaten. This way, we can at least get a chance for buffer and warning.
It means that in the next fight against the Church of Xirik, we may not be able to count on the other party to help.
After seeing off Martis, Levi distributed the spoils to everyone on the spot, then turned to look at the knights.
Before he could open his mouth, one of the strongest Barto knights spoke first. In addition to thanking him for saving his life, he also expressed his desire to give them a chance to repay their kindness.
They were extremely poor, and the only thing they could show off was their fighting ability.
Now that the demons have suddenly disappeared, they might be of use.
Or if Levi has other tasks, as long as it does not violate the name of kindness and the honor of their Knights of Barto, they are willing to do it for him.
Levi laughed immediately. These Barto knights were really grateful. However, the reason why they were so straightforward might have something to do with the old wizard behind them who was laughing so hard that his back teeth were almost showing, right?
Although they suffered heavy losses after the battle with the devil and now there are only seventy or eighty people left, the most common ranger knight is a fourth-level cavalryman.
Compared with the silver-helmet knights of the same level, they are not much inferior in other aspects except that they may be slightly weaker in defense due to the lack of martial arts bonus.
The unique lance formation of the Kingdom of Batto can enhance their charging capability at the expense of some defense and dodging ability, and can often break through the enemy lines more easily.
Among them there is also a small number of Kingdom Knights, who are level 5 cavalrymen. They may be much weaker than the Dragon Princes of the same level in terms of magic resistance, but they are almost equal in other aspects, and are especially good at fighting against large enemy forces.
When they were besieged before, all their war horses were killed by the devils. If Levi wanted them to exert their full combat power, he would have to equip them with a batch of high-quality mounts, which might cost a lot of money.
As for the infantry attendants who served as servants and auxiliary soldiers, their combat effectiveness was insignificant.
The Kingdom of Batto was founded on knights, and the only people it truly relied on were the noble knights. The infantrymen who came from peasant backgrounds were all pure cannon fodder.
But in any case, they can indeed be of some use in the next process of dealing with the Church of Xirik.
However, he had no intention of recruiting them for the time being. The types of soldiers in his army were already diverse enough, and except for celestial creatures and elves, he did not intend to continue to increase their types.
If possible, he would rather treat them as mercenaries like the Amazons , or like members of the Church of Sigmar, to help him do what they can.
It would be great if they were able to call on more Barto knights to go to Thorn Town.
Anyway, these Barto knights left their homes just to make money, and we can fully satisfy them!
