As the Death Summoner was beheaded cleanly by Elegy, the Centaurs, who had been beaten from beginning to end, finally lost the courage to resist.
They all began to flee along the two paths left by Levi.
At this time, the crossbowmen and musketeers of Tree Stump began to show their power. Due to the limitations of their weapons, they could not use projectiles, but now this kind of direct shooting was what they were best at.
As they continued to kill, the corpses of the centaurs almost completely blocked the two paths.
But Levi didn't care about these for the time being. They were just centaurs and really posed no threat. He just smiled and greeted his friend whom he had only met once.
That’s right, it’s Virginia from the Moon Oracle.
To be honest, Levi was not at all surprised that she fought side by side with the wood elves and appeared here.
However, the beastmen in their team were a little beyond his expectations. At the same time, he immediately understood what the centaurs had said before, because the other side were really tigresses.
Unlike the tiger people in Zhendan, they all use bows and arrows as weapons. Perhaps that is why they joined this team.
However, just by looking at their strong muscles and thick tiger claws, Levi knew that their close combat ability would not be weak either.
Moreover, they were able to reduce the number of the two thousand centaurs by almost half. There should be more than just this number, right?
So after exchanging a few pleasantries and politely declining the other party's proposal to join the battlefield immediately, Levi asked this question tactfully.
Virginia looked at the tigers behind her, and then she laughed: "In fact, we don't really have many tiger friends."
"We took advantage of the cover of a few woods to kill most of the centaurs by surprise. The main force was our wood elf friends."
Centaurs are good at fighting on plains, while wood elves are best at fighting in forests. Using the strong to defeat the weak is naturally an invincible force.
After being ambushed several times and suffering heavy losses each time, the Centaurs finally dared not even enter the forest, but found a valley to rest.
Virginia was a little worried about how to deal with them. After all, there were too many beastmen this time.
Once these centaurs unite with other beasts, they will become more difficult to deal with. After all, not all beastmen are incapable of jungle warfare.
In other words, the opposite is true. Except for a few limited types of Beastmen such as Centaurs and Minotaur, most Beastmen are good at jungle warfare.
But she had no choice for the time being, because the coalition forces of the Moon Oracle, the Wood Elves, and the Tiger Men she found only made up a few tens of the Beastmen's army, with only a few hundred people.
But she didn't expect that she would have an unexpected reinforcement like Levi to help her solve the trouble here.
Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but frown slightly: "How many evil forces are currently gathered near the pollution pit?"
Virginia said with a little caution: "There are about four to five thousand greenskins, among whom there are more than a dozen heroes or heroes chosen by God."
"But because of the greenskin leader who started the 'WAAAGH', their numbers are still growing."
WAAAGH is the racial talent of the greenskins and their battle cry, but it is also their most passionate activity.
Once a greenskin leader starts a call called "WAAAGH", they will launch a large-scale attack on a target town, destroying everything they encounter along the way.
Other greenskins, because of the warlike blood in their bodies, will often join in spontaneously, and even give up past hatreds to a certain extent, temporarily forgetting the differences between tribes, just to enjoy the upcoming battle.
Therefore, once the greenskins successfully start "WAAAGH", their numbers will increase like a snowball and they will become almost unstoppable.
This massive activity will not end until they are defeated in a battle by a more powerful enemy, or the greenskin leader who initiated the "WAAAGH" is killed.
However, Levi didn't even frown. Although the greenskins were strong in combat, their biggest flaw was their poor brains. He had plenty of ways to deal with them.
What's more, these greenskins' target is definitely not us, but the ratmen and beastmen, so they are the ones who should be the headache.
"Since the ratmen are used to staying in the Underdark and moving through various tunnels, we don't know their exact number yet. We only know that they should have come from the Camelback Mountain in the north or the Grey Witch Mountain."
"At the same time, these ratmen are unexpectedly good at fighting. Even though they are inferior to greenskins, they can often defeat the same number of low-level beastmen."
Hearing this, Levi's expression couldn't help but become a little more serious.
The rat people have always emphasized quantity, but when their quality improves, it represents some kind of trouble that cannot be ignored.
After a brief pause, she continued, "As for the largest number, it is undoubtedly the Beastmen. We have already detected nearly 20,000 of them, and new Beastmen are gathering here every moment. These Centaurs are just one of them."
"Even though we have been sniping as hard as we can, it is still not enough to change the current situation."
Levi understood immediately: "You also know that this might be Mala's conspiracy?"
The Moon Oracle believes in the Moon Maiden - Sulen, who likes to recruit kind-hearted beastmen to fight against Malar.
If these beastmen could still be saved, Virginia would never be so decisive.
Since she has now joined forces with the Wood Elves and the Tiger People to carry out targeted sniping, it can only be because she has concluded that these Beastmen are hopeless.
Virginia nodded seriously. "Besides him, we can't think of anyone else who has such great appeal. We are almost certain that many beastmen leaders have been hypnotized or brainwashed by special powers."
Levi pondered for a while: "What on earth caused the destruction of the dwarves in that deep pit?"
"I'm sorry, Levi. The battle there is too chaotic. With our current strength, we are completely unable to break through. So we haven't been able to find out the truth yet."
"Okay, I see. Thanks for the information."
As they were talking, the sounds of fighting and screaming in the valley quickly died down, and it was obvious that the battle here was about to end.
Seeing Levi's calm expression, it was obvious that he had expected this. Virginia, who was in urgent need of fighting power, could not help but take the initiative to invite him.
"Levi, our wood elf friends awakened a new magical forest half a month ago. There is also a temple of our god there."
"At the same time, they are not too far from the Black Iron Mine and the Pollution Pit. Do you want to take a look on the way?"
Levi couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, I can go visit the goddess, but will the wood elves welcome me?"
"Of course, you may not know it yet, but your reputation has spread quickly, and they will welcome a strong man like you."
Fame? It should be legendary, right? I didn't expect it to be so useful. Even the stubborn wood elves would change their attitude because of it. This is really good news.
Seeing that Levi seemed to be interested, Virginia was also happy: "In addition, we are planning to attack the Black Iron Mine, which seems to have been occupied by some undead recently."
Upon hearing this, Levi immediately became alert: "Is it mainly vampires or undead wizards?"
Lucia also pricked up her ears. Ever since the war in the Underdark, except for Toxido who specialized in charm, all the other undead had quickly disappeared one by one.
They seemed to be afraid of provoking the high elves. Could it be that they all ran over there? No wonder there has been no information about them recently.
Virginia was a little confused as to why he was so excited, but she answered him honestly.
"They have both, but they are mainly necromancers. They also have a lot of corpse transporters. We think they may be subordinates of the legendary necromancer Herman Gost."
Just like the four major vampire families, the many existing undead legendary heroes also have very obvious characteristics.
This Gost's favorite thing and what he is best at is making all kinds of corpse transporters. His second favorite thing is to collect corpses, and then to overwhelm the enemy with a sea of ​​cannon fodder from the undead army.
But overall, he can be said to be the most orthodox and least threatening legend.
Because there were too many people chasing him, he never exposed himself to collect corpses. He just sent out some low- and middle-level undead wizards that he had trained casually to do these things for him.
Even if these undead wizards were killed, he would not care at all, let alone avenge them.
Although the various types of corpse carriers he invented can make skeleton soldiers and zombies exert several times the combat effectiveness, they are still low-level undead after all, and can be killed by a single fireball.
Moreover, their speed is ridiculously slow. Even if something unexpected happens and the situation gets bad, they can easily retreat.
This is also the reason why she and the wood elves both want to attack the black iron mine, because there is really no danger at all.
Among all the races in the main world, wood elves can be said to be the best at guerrilla warfare and kite warfare, without a doubt.
Similarly, the Moon Oracles are mostly rangers, and they often need to face evil beastmen that are several times or even dozens of times more numerous than themselves, so they are also very good at this aspect.
After looking at Lucia, they both became interested. Although they were most likely Gost's subordinates, it would be interesting if there were vampires from the 13 families among them.
This is not impossible. Those vampires can mingle with the Snake Cult and join the Church of Cyric. In comparison, it is very easy to understand why they are following Gost now.
Vampires call themselves the nobility of the night. Apart from their inexplicable arrogance, most vampires are also very good at changing with the times.
So Levi decided to agree decisively.
Then they walked for dozens of miles, along various forest paths.
No, in fact, there is no road at all. They need to cut through the thorns and create a road by themselves.
According to Virginia, this is a route they often take, and most of them have woodland walking or other similar expertise and abilities, so there is no problem walking on these routes, and they can also help block pursuers.
But Levi and the others felt a little uncomfortable.
But there was no other way, they could only grit their teeth and persevere. In the future they might face all kinds of enemies and terrains, and it would be impossible for them to find the most suitable environment every time. They needed to adapt more.
In fact, Levi has a solution. He can just use flames to protect himself, burn all the trees along the way, and then let his subordinates move forward. It will definitely be much smoother.
But firstly, it would be too conspicuous and the fire would be difficult to control. Secondly, the wood elves would definitely have objections, so he just thought about it.
Seeing them like this, Virginia felt a little embarrassed.
But there was no way, the terrain in this area was generally bad, and the route she had found now was the quickest and easiest one to pass through.
In other places, not only will you encounter various enemies, but there are also steep cliffs and filthy and dangerous swamps everywhere. Even if you don't encounter enemies on the way, it will take at least three times more time to go around.
So she could only make up her mind secretly to entertain them well when they arrived at the place later, since they were not far from their first outpost anyway.
But as he walked, Levi discovered something quite interesting: those tigresses seemed to be very interested in the several tiger masters headed by the supervisors.
The undisguised light in their eyes was just like the way Winged Snake Ai Ci looked at him before.
Indeed, as celestial creatures, the monitors are clearly superior to ordinary tiger men in terms of appearance, demeanor, and combat ability.
Levi thought about it and quietly moved over to watch the fun.
If the Guards could have sex with these Tigresses, what would be the result? Some beastmen with celestial blood?
Although he was not particularly smart, the guard was not stupid either. When he saw Levi's look of wanting to watch the fun and not be afraid of trouble, he felt a little overwhelmed.
He immediately took the opportunity to complain to Levi. He didn't want to be entangled by those tigresses.
In fact, since he became a heroic unit, he could also return to Paradise when he had nothing to do to help Levi seek more reinforcements.
But almost every time, he would be entangled by the tigresses there, causing his actions to be greatly affected.
To be honest, he's had enough. Sometimes, being too popular isn't a good thing...
Levi smiled and signaled that he didn't have to refuse.
Not to mention that this will definitely help improve his relationship with these tiger people, what if he really hits it off with one of the tiger people?
On the other side, Virginia also noticed the situation here. She immediately took the initiative to explain: "Levi, they are not believers of my god, but believers of Goddess Furik."
"It's just that their tiger village happens to be next to us, and our factions are also quite similar, so we have always had a good relationship, so they came to help us."
Levi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that these tigresses used bows and arrows as weapons.
Furik is the goddess of the tiger men among the beastmen. It is said that she once served the powerful god of nature, Silvanus, together with her brother, the bear god, Balado.
The God of Nature originally intended to restrain them and prevent them from going out and doing evil. After all, as gods with weak powers, if they go crazy, the harm they can cause is much greater than that of ordinary beastmen.
But the God of Nature soon discovered that the brothers and sisters showed wisdom, rationality and restraint that were completely different from most beastmen. They were warlike but not bloodthirsty, and they did not like to cause trouble.
So it is not known whether he observed them for hundreds of years or not, and finally he set them free.
I don’t know if they learned a lot of principles of dealing with people and things from the God of Nature, so after regaining their freedom, these siblings became more different from other beastman gods. They even actively approached the gods of other good camps.
Not only do they maintain a fairly close relationship with the dragon gods of China, the God of the Bear Men also makes friends with the bear god of Kislev - Ersun, Larui's friend - Lord of Firemane, and a series of gods related to beasts and inclined towards the good camp.
The tiger-man goddess gradually established a relationship with the elven gods through the seal goddess, another beast-man god who was also a member of the Sea Dreamers.
She also learned archery from the elven god of bows and arrows, Solonor Shanlandre.
Since then, her followers have generally abandoned claws and fangs and have begun to use bows and arrows as their primary weapons.
Perhaps some gods thought that she was flattering the elven gods in this way, but now this kind of flattery has lasted for thousands of years, and her believers have never changed, which can be completely regarded as her sincerity.
In this case, it might be a good opportunity for the supervisor.
If he could please these tiger men and the goddesses behind them, maybe he could also switch to a rare profession?
Although the Five Lords of Gaidin can be considered demigods or gods in the Paradise, and they can each undergo special job transfers to become celestial creatures, they are not true gods after all.
Moreover, they are almost unable to grant divinity to mortal beings, as they themselves may not even have much divinity.
More importantly, according to what Lilith knew, this tiger goddess was a relatively open-minded person. It seemed that every ten years or even dozens of years, she would come down to earth in the form of a clone.
It's not for anything else, I just want to find a tiger guy I like and have a shot or a few shots with him.
If the monitor spreads his reputation among these tigresses and then the tiger goddess finds out, wouldn't he be able to get a big leg up?
Although he felt somewhat helpless, under the encouragement (threat) of Levi's eyes, the guards had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the initiative to strike up a conversation with those tigresses.
Levi found this scene a little funny, although he didn't know whether these tigresses were considered beautiful in the eyes of the tiger masters or the tiger people.
But at least he could confirm one thing, these tigresses' chest muscles were really well-developed, and they would definitely not let down their future offspring...
After walking for more than ten miles, when Li Wei and his subordinates had gradually become familiar with each other, the supervisor also got along very smoothly with the tigresses and agreed to their request to visit the tiger village.
There were even a few tigresses who expressed their willingness to fight alongside the guards on the spot. It seemed that in such a short period of time, they were conquered by his strength and charm.
After learning more about them, Levi became more and more interested in these tigresses.
In addition to the innate strength of their own race, most of them can easily become rangers and are particularly good at fighting in complex terrains such as jungles, swamps or mountains.
You have to know that Donna's original career was also a ranger. Even if these tigresses could have half of her talent, no, even 30% of it, they would be a very beneficial addition to their side.
Even if he didn't take them out to fight, but just stationed them in villages and towns, they would still be very useful, at least they could detect possible enemies around them in advance.
Especially those followers of Mask who like to sneak into the town through the sewers, and the Skaven rats.
A tigress can also be understood as a big cat, which is just right for catching these annoying little mice.
At this time, Virginia also said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Levi, I was inconsiderate and made you work hard."
"But there is a sentry post ahead of us, and you can take a rest there."
"Next is a flat road, and we will soon reach our temple and the magical forest of the wood elves."
"In order to prepare for the upcoming war, we have recently jointly produced some supplies and magic items. Some members also want to follow the chosen heroes to go on adventures. If you are interested, Levi, maybe you can gain something later."
Levi nodded in satisfaction. Virginia was indeed very sensible.
But he didn't hold out much hope, because wood elves were very typically unproductive and were obsessed with environmental protection.
Even their arrows mainly consist of naturally fallen branches, so what else can they expect?
I guess at most they are some low-level magic items made mainly from the skins and bones of wild animals.
In addition, there may be some elf accessories.
Almost all elves are good at making things that are beautiful but almost useless. They usually use them for trade with other races, and wood elves are no exception.
It’s no wonder that many merchants and nobles from other races like that thing.
As for recruiting troops, the Wood Elves have never been famous for their numbers. Coupled with their xenophobia and the current urgent war, it is even less likely that they will be able to spare many men, but this at least shows the other party's attitude.
But before they actually stepped out of the forest, Levi's face suddenly changed because Supervisory Yakong sent urgent information.
A cloud made up entirely of vampires, numbering in the thousands, had just left above a small woods ahead.
As they moved, a giant black energy shield, obviously powered by magic, was hovering above them, moving with them to prevent them from being harmed by the sunlight.
What made Levi even more alert was that Inspector Yakong saw the opponent's emblem and logo, not the survivors of Gost or the 13 families, but the Silver Blood Army!
Soon Luna also sent back similar information, which was more specific. There were also a large number of undead advancing on the ground.
There are no most common and weakest skeletons and zombies. Their main force starts with level 3 grave warriors and vampire warriors.
Moreover, unlike before, they have significantly more types of weapons, including spears, two-handed swords, swords and shields, and so on.
This means they can be more effective against different types of enemies, such as cavalry and infantry.
What's more important is their number, at least nearly 10,000. If they were allowed to join the battlefield in the West, they would instantly become a powerful and highly competitive force, and might even be the strongest among them.
Next came a large number of Grave Demons, Stone Cairn Wraiths, Black Knights and Ghost Knights, representing that the other party possessed extremely strong exciting power.
Similarly, like those vampires, they are also shrouded in special magic, which allows them to march and fight in broad daylight without any scruples.
Although we have not yet discovered the stronger bloodthirsty sky demons or bone dragons, but judging by the combat effectiveness currently demonstrated by the other side, it is almost certain that they possess these types of troops.
It was just that because the distance was far and the other party was shrouded in magic, Luna and the others didn't dare to get too close, so they couldn't see everything clearly.
At the same time, the rat masters also discovered that there were some pale and bloodless human crossbowmen and musketeers mixed in with them.
Regardless of whether they are undead creatures transformed using a unique ritual, or they are "Harukas" who are afraid of death and therefore desire to transform themselves into vampires, this means that the other party has the ability to attack from a distance.
The undead tribe, which was originally the most inconspicuous and mediocre in performance in the vicinity, now showed its ferocious fangs.
There is no doubt that their destination must also be a deep pollution pit.
This made Levi begin to doubt his previous judgment.
If all this was Mala's conspiracy, then there was no need for him to involve the undead.
In addition to beastmen, Malar's main duties also include hunting and blood, which are mainly aimed at various beasts and humanoid creatures, rather than undead creatures such as vampires.
In a sense, the existence of vampires is even an obstacle to Mala.
For Malar would rather have his blood flow upon the earth, or be sacrificed upon his altar, than enter the belly of a vampire.
Was it the death and blood surrounding the Filth Pit that attracted the attention of the Silver Blood Army, or were they also part of the conspiracy?
But no matter what, Levi needs to be prepared. What is about to happen in the sewage pit may be more serious than he originally expected.
The only thing to be thankful for is that if there really is a god-level power taking action, he can also call for reinforcements.
Originally, the two goddesses Lilith and Yuebong gave him the opportunity to seek help, and now he has obtained their divinity, so the connection has become even closer.
While sorting out his thoughts, Levi immediately sent a message to Donna, who was flying high in the sky with the Sky Slashers, asking her to continue climbing to a higher altitude.
Due to the special structure of the Sky Slasher, as well as certain magical protections such as wind protection, she can fly to heights that ordinary flying soldiers cannot reach, thereby avoiding the enemy's sight.
Although this would require them to consume more resources, out of caution, Levi would ask Donna to do so whenever possible, so that she would not be immediately noticed by the other party.
Otherwise, once a war breaks out with those thousands of vampires, even if Levi can win in the end, he doesn't know how heavy a price he will pay.
At the same time, Levi also asked his subordinates to stop immediately and prepare for battle or even retreat.
Vampires with a little bit of strength can skillfully use small magic to summon wolves, bats or mice as cannon fodder and scouts.
How could an undead tribe of this size not have any scouts?
Moreover, judging from the weapons configuration of the grave guards and their marching formations, the other side should have one or more very good commanders.
If these tens of thousands of undead rushed over together, they would be crushed to death even if they were piled up, because the difference in numbers between them was too great .
Levi didn't even need to tell them, the expressions of Virginia and the wood elves on the other side soon changed.
Their original joy was gone, replaced by worry, fear, and even panic. It was obvious that they had obtained this information in their own way.
Everyone knows that not being discovered will be fine, but once discovered, their outpost, and even the defenders in the temple and the magic forest, will have no chance of surviving this undead army!
Noticing Levi's gaze, Virginia said anxiously: "Levi, let's retreat first and wait for these undead..."
On the other side, a wood elf who was the leader also took out a magic item, intending to contact his companions who were scouting ahead.
But before he could act, an extremely shrill scream instantly broke the relatively calm situation.
Then a female voice that sounded very proud and cruel said: "There's a little wood elf mouse? Looks like I can change things up a bit today."
Another excited female voice: "Oh, no, wait, sister, it's hundreds of little mice!"
Then came more female voices.
"It seems that there are not only wood elves, but also high elves~"
"I saw some Khajiit. Although their skin wasn't smooth, they were all long and rough hair. But it's nice to change the taste occasionally."
"Sisters, it looks like we have good luck today."
Even though he couldn't see them for the time being, Levi seemed to be able to imagine that at this moment, somewhere outside the woods, there was a group of gorgeous female vampires.
They were laughing and playing, and seemed to not take Levi and the others seriously at all, only treating them as easy food.
Finally, a female voice, which clearly had the authority of a superior, gave a summary.
"Go, my little pets, hunt them in the name of the Lahmia family!"
