Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 353 Ambush and Assassination
After joining the Woking Church with Cindy and others, the female priest Della showed unprecedented enthusiasm this time, and even took the initiative to hand him two space rings, saying that they were necessary consumables prepared for the next battle.
With just a casual glance, Levi found that it was full of various magic scrolls, magic potions and other consumables.
Levi accepted it with a smile. The Woking Church was wealthy and powerful, so he didn't need to be polite to them. Besides, this was also a way for them to express their goodwill.
In fact, after he said that the high elves had officially given up their plan to attack Silver Town, the relationship between the two sides quickly heated up.
There was no longer any vigilance or caution in the look in Pastor Della 's eyes when she looked at her. Instead, it was full of enthusiasm and expectation.
The reputation of the high elves in the main world is still very good, because they are a lawful camp, and they also like maritime trade very much, and almost regard reputation as their life.
It doesn't matter if you don't ask. Once you agree to something, you don't have to worry about regretting it.
With Levi's help and the power of their Woking Church, retaking Silver Town is almost a foregone conclusion.
Since the large forces of the Church of Woking had already taken action in advance, the Town of Thorn now seemed a little more empty.
Looking at his subordinates who were ready to go, Levi confirmed again: "What is the situation of the Xirik Church?"
"Because the Legion of Terror has been patrolling nearby, they did not take action before out of fear."
"But just like , the Legion of Terror suddenly left about a quarter of an hour ago. The Xirik Church must have received this information immediately, so Silver Town has been mobilized. But we have already ambushed them on the road they must pass through."
Speaking of this, Pastor Della's face was full of smiles, but she was not completely free of any suspicion in her heart.
It's really because the Legion of Terror is too cooperative and Levi's intelligence is too accurate. There is a high possibility that there is a deeper connection between them.
But that has nothing to do with the current war. Their immediate goal is to defeat the Church of Cyric, retake Silver Town, and then slowly settle accounts with the Church of Bane.
If Levi can really pull the Legion of Fear over, it may not be a bad thing for his side.
Levi nodded. Although he wanted to kidnap Martis, the relationship between the two parties had not reached that point yet.
So he helped the other party to find out the truth, and the other party helped him to scare the Church of Xirik. This was also a very reasonable deal, right?
However, it is just to help find the truth, and it is not necessary for Maltis to fight to the death with the Xirik Church. If the Xirik Church really continues to advance, according to the agreement, Maltis will have the right to freely choose to retreat.
It can only be said that the cooperation of the Xirik Church made all the other means he prepared useless, which was really beyond his expectations.
After thinking it over, he thought there was only one possibility.
They are the guys who summoned the devil. Their status is extremely high, so high that once they are lost, the Xirik believers in Silver Town will lose their unified command and become chaotic in a short period of time.
In other words, those other mid-level members who were originally below them might also be going with the flow.
Given the crazy infighting nature of the followers of Xirik, they absolutely hope that all those trapped in the valley will die so that they can take their place.
A night passed and there was still no reinforcement. According to the other party's understanding, the trapped people had either escaped or were now dead.
But no matter what, it is time for them to take action, so the Xirik Church reacted so quickly today.
But there was no need to tell the other party all this. Although they had common interests and common enemies, Levi believed that the money-hungry people of the Woking Church could be friends, but not long-term comrades whom he could trust with his life.
Businessmen are profit-driven by nature, and have nothing to do with kindness.
With a wave of his hand, Levi led the large army out directly. The ambush location they were looking for this time was more advantageous than yesterday because it was a canyon.
It can be said that as long as one side is blocked, the archers, mages and other ranged units on both sides can output without any scruples.
He wanted to completely cripple the military forces of Baiyin Town in one wave as much as possible.
Moreover, Della and her group in the Woking Church seemed to have been prepared and had a very complete grasp of all kinds of intelligence. They could react immediately if there was any movement in the Xirik Church.
It is obvious that the last time the Church of Cyric instigated some people to rebel, the Church of Woking followed suit this time.
Mercenaries live for money. If it really comes down to it, the Church of Waukeen has never been afraid of anyone.
After speeding all the way, Levi and his men arrived at the ambush site half an hour in advance. In order to avoid being detected by the enemy in advance, Donna's Sky Slayer rose far into the sky, out of sight.
Then the Church of Waukeen began to use various magic scrolls in large quantities as if they were free, trying to hide all their troops as much as possible.
All that’s left is to wait for the other party to come.
As pieces of information continued to come in, Della was sometimes excited and sometimes frowned. It was obvious that she was paying great attention to the upcoming battle, because it was related to whether they could successfully regain the lost territory.
But Levi was calm and composed.
The Bane Church was entangled in Western affairs, so except for Maltis, no one else could get away for the time being.
But the Xirik Church had nothing else to do, and they probably hadn't figured out the whereabouts of the high-ranking members of their church yet. Whether they were dead or alive, they had to go and take a look.
What is really important next is to see how the Church of Woking performs and whether they can keep all the opponents here!
A few minutes later, the huge army of the Xirik Church began to approach the valley, also with more than 2,000 people. Considering that Dark Blood Hand and his men had just experienced a disastrous defeat, this army could be considered the main force of the Xirik Church .
As long as they can successfully annihilate them, Levi and the Waukeen Church's next plan to attack Silver Town will definitely be much smoother.
But whether out of caution or because they noticed something, their speed obviously slowed down as they approached the valley.
Della suddenly became nervous and anxious. No matter how perfectly their previous plan was implemented, everything would be in vain if the Church of Xirik did not step into the ambush circle!
She immediately turned to look at Levi, intending to ask.
Levi nodded slightly, indicating that the other party could implement the backup plan.
Della immediately sent a signal with magic, and ten seconds later, the members of the Xirik Church were quite surprised to find that on the other side of the valley, there was a combination of four to five hundred cavalry and infantry coming towards them.
Judging from their flags, emblems, etc., they are none other than the Woking Church, one of their enemies!
Both sides seemed stunned, but then the Church of Woking, which was obviously much weaker than them, quickly tried to turn around and retreat.
On the contrary, the Xirik Church was overjoyed and began to accelerate their pursuit.
Although some priests, priests or chosen heroes had doubts, the two highest-ranking priests of Xirik did not care at all.
One of them shouted, "Charge forward and kill all these followers of false gods!"
The other one was not to be outdone and personally led the charge.
Because according to the information they currently have, the highest-level chief priest of their church here secretly went to the Phantom Valley to try to see if there were any lost fragments of the godhead and divinity of the Phantom Goddess, but accidentally provoked the devil and is now very likely to have been killed.
As a result, the other party's position is temporarily vacant. According to the church's management, whoever of the two competitors performs better in fighting against the rival church will be more likely to gain the leadership of Silver Town!
However, they still maintained the most basic vigilance until several priests and mages used powerful spells to kill dozens of enemies at the back, and after confirming that the other side was really running away, they actually launched a charge, determined to wipe out all the enemies.
So they chased them all the way, killing enemies one after another, and soon they entered the ambush circle.
As they got closer, Della became more and more excited because she knew the plan was almost successful.
But Levi next to him frowned secretly. Even though he knew that this was part of the plan, even though he knew that those who died were mercenaries who came for money, Della's current performance still made him somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, they were just hundreds of temporary subordinates, and there were also some members of the Church of Woking as commanders among them. But now nearly 70% of the members had sacrificed their lives for their own plans, but she did not feel any mourning or regret.
Such a person and the church behind her can only be friends, not comrades-in-arms.
But no matter what, the Church of Xirik quickly entered the ambush circle. After looking at each other, Levi and Della gave the order for a general attack at the same time.
Almost in an instant, arrows, bullets and magic fell from the sky, instantly overwhelming a part of the members of the Church of Xirik and forcibly dividing the large army into three parts.
At the same time, some earth mages also triggered the traps that had been set up in advance. At least fifty or sixty stones with a diameter of more than one meter rolled down from the cliffs on both sides.
This thing is not magic, it is just big rocks that roll down with the help of weight and inertia. However, the destructive power they can exert is definitely not inferior to that of fireball.
Many flying soldiers and mages took off and began to try to snipe the enemy's magic units. Donna also commanded the Sky Slasher to land and began to pour arrows on the enemy.
The cavalrymen who had been lying in ambush on the other side of the valley, after receiving the magic message, also tried to encircle the Xirik Church from behind according to the previous plan.
Under such a series of fierce attacks, the Church of Xirik was almost stunned in an instant.
It was a full half minute before they began to try to reorganize their formation.
Only a few people like Dark Blood Hand, who had been alert for a long time, deliberately stayed behind and reacted faster. They began to try to retreat first.
For the members of the Church of Xirik, rescuing their companions is simply impossible. Not adding insult to injury is considered as the other party owing them a favor.
What they have to do now is to rush back to Baiyin Town as soon as possible. In this way, if all the guys left here die, won’t they have a chance to make further progress?
Seeing this, Levi laughed immediately. He explained to Zev beside him: "Dark Blood Hand escaped before, but I will not let him go this time."
"Master Zefu, look at me and take their heads from among the thousands of soldiers!"
Master Zefu immediately praised him repeatedly: "You are indeed worthy of being Lord Levi. Then I will also lend you a hand!"
Levi immediately laughed: "Okay, then I'll be more confident."
As he said this, Levi rarely rode on the griffin, but like Zef, he used the flying technique to fly up.
Sylvie next to him frowned, not understanding why Levi did this. Was this also his way of showing respect to Zev?
However, the flexibility and maneuverability of flying skills are far inferior to those of griffins. It may not matter under normal circumstances, but in a large-scale melee, it may be fatal.
If the enemy also has a high-level wizard who can remove the magic, there is an even greater risk of falling.
All I can say is that although Master Levi is very powerful, he is still too young and too proud.
But before he could dissuade him, he watched Master Zef, who was several meters behind him, reach out and activate several magic items, and his target was Levi. He was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Because one of them was the dispel magic he just mentioned, and the other two were Disintegration and Finger of Death. One had a chance of destroying the opponent's limbs, and the other was the famous instant death magic!
But before he could remind him, he saw that Levi seemed to be prepared. He turned around suddenly and started with the instant Star of Avandor, a magic with impact force, which directly knocked Master Zef down.
At the same time, several priests wearing black cloaks on the ground, whose faces could not be seen clearly and who could only be judged as female by their figures, also released a series of black spells that looked ominous.
Cindy, holding a war hammer, also screamed, and psychic shocks, the wrath of order, the human immobilization spell, etc., hit Zev one after another.
The other people around also displayed their skills and launched a series of attacks on Zev, almost instantly shattering most of his protection.
Even a great wizard of level 15 would have almost no ability to fight back in this situation.
Xiaotian, Legion Yakong, and the Barani angels who had newly joined Levi's army also blocked the sky.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Della, who was originally excited about the successful ambush, was completely stunned. She didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
Likewise, Zev was also very shocked and surprised: "Damn it, when did you realize it? Why doesn't my Finger of Death work on you?"
His voice was now sinister and sharp, no longer as gentle and enthusiastic as before.
But Levi ignored him and threw a dimensional anchor over. Then he asked the angel Baris to cast a magic to remove the magic. At the same time, he began to prepare the Finger of Death, which was to give the opponent a taste of his own medicine.
Although he already had some doubts, when the other party actually used the Finger of Death, he was still frightened, not for himself, but for his subordinates.
As a hero chosen by God, even if he is killed accidentally, he can be resurrected immediately. But if Cindy or Donna and others are hit by the finger of death, it will be too late for him to regret.
So now Zev has only one ending, and that is death!
Now Zev was a little panicked. The reason why he decided to agree to this extremely risky thing was because he had a treasure that could allow him to escape successfully in times of crisis.
But now the opponent didn't say a word and directly used Dimension Anchor + Finger of Death. I'm afraid his treasures will not be able to play any role at all!
As another sound of protective magic breaking, he shouted in a panic: "Wait, Levi, don't you want to know who ordered me to do this?"
"Spare my life, I will tell you everything and serve you!"
Hearing this, Levi's expression finally changed a little, and a curve slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth. Just when Zev was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed.
7th level instant death magic - Finger of Death!
But as the green light flashed, Zef, who still had a trace of relief on his face, instantly turned into ashes and disappeared in the air with the wind.
Then there was a series of clinking sounds, which were the sounds of several magical items he left behind falling to the ground.
He is not like Levi, a celestial mystic who is immune to instant death magic.
Moreover, after his luck was lowered by the Doom Priests and Levi used the supplies of the Doom Girl silently, which drastically reduced his luck again, the chance of the Finger of Death taking effect on him was greatly increased.
So the result was that he was at least level 15, a great wizard who could call the wind and rain on a small battlefield, but he was killed instantly by Levi with just one move.
After doing all this, Levi nodded to Sylvie, who had not moved a step from beginning to end and just cast protective magic on himself, and then turned to look at Della.
"I think the Church of Woking has nothing to do with this assassination, right?"
