At this time, a system prompt popped up, saying that they had won another epic victory.
Yes, although it was not particularly smooth at the beginning and many temple defenders were killed in the battle, Levi's subordinates did not suffer too many casualties.
On the contrary, their results were brilliant.
It would be fine if there were just a large number of vampires, werewolves, and grave guards, but those bloodthirsty bat wolves, as well as some heroic units hidden in the army, actually made a lot of contributions.
Although in actual combat, they are most likely the lowest-level, grey-quality heroes that can only specialize in a certain type of soldier, but in the system's judgment, their value is still quite high.
So after the first battle, Cindy, Donna, Luna, Elegy and others were upgraded, and many subordinates also advanced.
Donna's Silver Girl has been upgraded to level 2. Now she can transform her unicorn mount into energy wings and fly into the sky.
Although it is not used in most cases, it can undoubtedly greatly improve her mobility when necessary.
In addition, due to her past accumulation, she had improved her combat skills of archery and projectiles to the intermediate level through continuous actual combat.
It seems that there are only a few numerical improvements, but considering the number of archers under her current command, the overall improvement will undoubtedly be huge in actual combat.
The tree stump next to him was also grinning with joy. He felt that it was a blessing from God that he could follow Brother Levi.
Although each battle seemed very dangerous, when he counted the results afterwards, he actually didn't suffer much loss, but instead gained a lot.
Next, the person Levi cares about the most is Sally.
The previous fire burned the undead once, and this time she fought bravely as well, so she finally succeeded in advancing to level 6.
Comparing with others, we can only say that the growth rate of the magic troops is by no means comparable to that of ordinary warriors.
The new magic she had learned was a 5th-level magic called Dautim Flame Tentacles. Its effect was quite similar to Levi's previous black tentacles. It also bound the enemy and caused damage. The only difference was that it was of fire attribute.
Although Sally was a little dissatisfied, Levi thought it was very good. In most cases, restrictive magic is more applicable than ordinary output magic.
Although what the two great wizards said before was a bit one-sided, it still made some sense.
Even though Fireball is only a level 3 magic, it is really practical. Even though I have already mastered level 6 and 7 magic, I still like to use it on a daily basis. So Sally doesn't have to worry about not having any magic to use.
After comforting her a little and promising to help her acquire stronger magic as soon as possible, Sally felt relieved. Anyway, with Lord Levi around, she didn't have to worry about not having any useful magic.
Under the leadership of Virginia, mysterious reinforcements also arrived.
Although they were called reinforcements, their number was unexpectedly small, with only two in total.
One is a girl with a golden ponytail, long legs and a high waist. She looks a little older than Cindy, but definitely younger than Donna and Elegy.
Apart from a short sword which is obviously her secondary weapon, her specialty weapon is very special, it is actually a long whip.
The holy and shining aura rippling above shows that it definitely has a powerful restraining effect on evil creatures.
On her chest she wears a distinctive, small skull cross, which at first glance looks evil, but is actually a pure skull, one of the characteristics of the Church of Sigmar.
Because in this world where all kinds of evil alien races emerge one after another, the number of humanoid races with horns on their heads or fangs in their mouths can be said to be countless.
So in a sense, this kind of skull is something that only normal humans can possess, so the Church of Sigmar uses them as one of its symbols.
In addition, she had two small bags on her waist, one on the left and one on the right, in which some props such as holy water, garlic, and crosses could be vaguely seen.
This is a little strange. For someone like her, a space ring should not be a rare thing. In addition to convenience, maybe the two small bags have some special functions.
The other was a mysterious man covered in a blue hood, whose face could not be seen clearly. Many of the magic that Levi had seen before might have come from him.
Virginia smiled and said, "Levi, let me introduce you, this is Sonia from the Belmont family."
The girl Sonia had obviously been told a lot by Virginia about Levi's deeds before, so although she was a little curious about the subordinates of different races behind Levi at this moment, she was more of an undisguised admiration for him.
So she took the initiative and greeted Levi in ​​a slightly awkward and respectful manner.
Levi naturally returned the greeting with a smile. He also knew the origin of this legendary human family and the extraordinary long whip around their waists.
They are a family living on the border between the Sigma Empire and Sylvania. Every generation they have an outstanding son who wields the holy whip that can only be used by their family bloodline - the vampire slayer. He goes out and eliminates many evils.
Similarly, most other members of their family can also take up a special profession with the same name - vampire killer.
Even a stranger who knows nothing about this should be able to roughly guess the origin of their family just by hearing the name.
Yes, their whole family are vampire hunters, and they do basically the same job as Lucia.
In addition to frequently invading Sylvania to hunt down vampires of all levels, they also particularly like to go against Dracula, Vlad and other legendary vampires.
The Vampire Killer itself is a legendary weapon, so Sonia, holding it, is naturally not too weak.
The other members of her family were also elite warriors, so they had some reputation in the main world.
Whether they succeed or not is another matter, but their courage alone is enough to be admired.
Levi could only say that these vampires from the Lamia family were really unlucky.
If Lucia, Alucard, or someone from the Belmont family showed up alone, it would only be a nuisance to them, but not a big threat.
But when they all gathered here, plus himself, Cindy, Donna and others, no matter what conspiracy they had, the ending of failure was almost inevitable.
But he still had some doubts. How could it be such a coincidence that they came here at this time?
She did not introduce the other mage, only saying that he was his companion.
But considering that the other party had performed very well before, killed a lot of undead, and came with Sonia, there was nothing to doubt.
Of course, the temple also secretly used magic such as detecting camps to make sure that the other party was a kind person who could be trusted.
The next step is to clean up the battlefield and arrange troops for defense and vigilance.
Levi made some arrangements, but still mainly relied on his troops.
It’s not that he didn’t trust Virginia’s ability, it’s just that in the previous battle, the temple’s defenders suffered heavy casualties in various senses, and their numbers were no longer enough.
After a night, nothing happened.
Levi returned feeling refreshed. He had obtained a lot of interesting information on the forum last night.
In addition to a large number of indigenous people, the Filth Pit now also gathers a number of God-chosen heroes, including greenskins, goblins, ratmen and beastmen.
They were engaged in fierce fighting all the time.
Under such circumstances, the origins of those particularly warlike ratmen could naturally no longer be concealed.
It turned out that they were from the Grinning Clan who came from the Camelback Mountain and Gray Witch Mountain in the north.
This clan is not one of the top four clans among the ratmen, but it is also considered first-rate.
Even more noteworthy is their clan leader - Trites Weiwei.
This guy is notorious even among the rat people because he loves betrayal and selling out.
What it is most famous for, besides its good luck, is that when it sees that the battle is going badly, it will immediately retreat thousands of miles away and never put itself in real crisis. It is the most typical character that bullies the weak and fears the strong.
But it is not completely without strength. Roughly speaking, it is at least a hero unit of level 15 or above.
This is quite high for the rat people.
Because rat people maintain extremely high reproductive capabilities, their lifespan is naturally very short.
Not to mention compared with elves or dwarves who have existed for thousands of years, they are even far inferior to humans.
Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, rat people around 10 years old will gradually die due to aging.
But in fact, 99% of low and middle level ratmen may be dragged to the battlefield as cannon fodder when they are just a few months old. It is already remarkable if they can survive beyond 2 or 3 years old.
No one knows the actual lifespan of Tritus Weiwei for the time being, but if you think about it, you will know that compared to humans, its growth rate is really astonishingly fast.
As for the second piece of information, it also came from there.
Due to frequent battles and deaths, a certain green-skinned hero who was a war maniac and chosen by God encountered his bottleneck when his level reached 11.
The system told him very clearly that from now on, unless there was a divine force involved, his level cap would be only 11, which was a punishment for his too many deaths.
If he dies more times, there might even be permanent deductions in his attributes.
As soon as the news came out, the entire forum was in an uproar.
Although when they first entered the game, the system's rendering of the death penalty made many people a little scared.
But they soon discovered that the system seemed to be just scaring people. Even if they died two or three times in a short period of time, it would at most affect the efficiency of gaining experience points.
I never expected that the real punishment was actually waiting here.
At level 11, you can still show off your power in some small towns, but in front of a real strong man, you may not even be cannon fodder.
But Levi found it completely understandable.
According to what Lilith knew, even if the indigenous people were resurrected with the help of God's power, it would be fine once or twice, but if it happened too many times, it would definitely damage the foundation.
How could the heroes chosen by God come without any cost?
After just walking around for a while, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the temple.
Soon Donna also told her that this was because the reinforcements of the wood elves had not yet arrived and no intelligence had been received.
Soon Virginia couldn't sit still anymore. Although she was very embarrassed, she still took the initiative to find Levi and expressed her desire to check it out.
The magical forest occupied by the Wood Elves is very large. The Wood Elves are the race that is best at jungle warfare, and they also have Tree Men and many wild beasts as their companions. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be no news at all.
Levi had no objection, because he was also curious about what had happened and who did it.
He thought it was unlikely that there were vampires from the Lamia family.
They only have so many troops in total, and they have already sent some of them to cause trouble for me, and then they were annihilated by me. This is already very hurtful.
Send some of them away to play hide-and-seek with the wood elves in the woods. Do they still want to do their work?
Even Levi had some vague guesses.
The wood elves in the woods have almost no nemesis. If we have to mention enemies that are threatening, the most important ones are of course the beastmen.
The magic forest is suitable for the survival and fighting of wood elves and tree people, but on the other hand, once this power is used by the enemy, it can also play a significant role.
It just so happens that the Beastmen shamans and priests know this.
After certain sacrificial rituals, they can transform the magic forest into a special territory called the Blood Domain.
Except for demons or beastmen, almost all other races that enter will be weakened in various ways, or even directly harmed by evil energy.
If they are lucky enough, or if the magic forest contains enough energy, they can create a special existence called Ten Thousand Demon Rock.
As the name suggests, through it, they can not only call for more beastmen to gather, but also summon demons to descend upon the main world.
This is also the reason why many God-chosen heroes believe that the Beastmen are all imperial armies.
It just so happened that Mala was summoning beastmen in the name of the Father of All Beasts, so there was really no shortage of beastmen nearby.
As Levi had witnessed the massive invasion of demons, he certainly knew best the damage and destruction that demons could bring.
Although using the Ten Thousand Demons Rock to summon demons is basically a one-time thing and their number and strength are also limited, Levi cannot ignore them after all.
Sonia and her teammates naturally chose to follow because they had been temporarily employed by Virginia.
Although they are vampire hunters, like other similar professions, they certainly do not only hunt vampires. In fact, most evil creatures are within their hunting range.
The difference between them and the paladins is probably that the paladins are truly dedicated to fighting against evil, while a considerable number of them are also after the other party's treasure.
But there is nothing to blame. You can fight against evil without fear of sacrifice and without asking for anything in return, but you cannot expect others to be as selfless as you.
Even though they had certain selfish motives, these hunters really played a very important role.
After obtaining Levi's consent, Virginia also began to mobilize troops and prepare for the attack.
Although it is called preparation, in fact, the main focus is still on Levi.
The temple's troops were not numerous to begin with, and they suffered heavy casualties yesterday. Apart from herself, the only men they could rely on were basically some tiger men.
After last night's battle, the temple sent people to the Tiger Village overnight, on the one hand to seek help, and on the other hand to jointly resist possible foreign enemies.
The tiger people also agreed readily, because whether it was the undead or the beastmen, they all had the same attitude towards them, the kind-hearted tiger people.
Although they are all beastmen, they can still easily distinguish each other's approximate camps. Ordinary beastmen are often more ferocious when they encounter tiger people.
Perhaps, because they were considered traitors?
In addition to benefiting the temple, the guards also benefited from the arrival of the tiger people.
When he was defending yesterday, Levi deliberately put him in a better position, where the pressure was not great and the danger was not high.
Therefore, all the tigresses who followed him survived and witnessed his fighting ability.
So now they are even more obsessed with him, and then they seem to share this information with their sisters, which leads to more tigresses actively asking to join his team.
Similarly, some of the male tiger men in the tiger village were not convinced, some wanted to follow or protect the tigresses, and some wanted to travel with the supervisors.
Levi naturally wouldn't refuse.
Apart from anything else, they are indeed very strong in aspects related to reconnaissance and survival in the wild.
Then the temple provided a large number of magic scrolls, potions and other supplies. In fact, they could only use these things to slightly express their feelings.
Levi naturally wouldn't refuse, as one can never have too many supplies.
It didn't take them long to set off towards the magical forest.
After thinking about it for a while, Levi took the initiative to approach Sonia again, wanting to chat with her.
Of course, she wasn't the main target.
In addition to being famous for hunting vampires, the Belmont family also finds it difficult to refuse other evil-hunting operations, especially when the other party pays gold coins or other things as a price.
So as long as Levi is willing to spend money and she has no other tasks for the time being, it is entirely possible that she will follow him to fight, just like the way Virginia is treating them now.
As for recruiting her, that's unlikely.
Apart from obeying the Sigma Empire's call to fight against vampires and other evils to a limited extent, their family has never been loyal to any force.
With Levi's current status and position, and the fact that he took the initiative to strike up a conversation, the other party certainly couldn't refuse, even if the other party wanted to conceal his identity.
Then Levi saw the blue-robed wizard, after a slight hesitation, took the initiative to lift his hood, revealing a head of brilliant golden hair and a pretty little face.
"I'm sorry, Lord Levi, I didn't mean to hide it, but my gender and appearance caused us a lot of trouble when we went out on adventures."
The voice was clear and pleasant, and she turned out to be a female magician.
Levi immediately understood. This could only be the reason why she deliberately dressed like this.
Although there are many powerful goddesses in this world, many high-ranking officials in temples are also women, and there are many powerful women among Amazons and drow.
But many ignorant people still have some prejudice and think that women are easier to bully.
If two girls go out for a walk, even if one of them is a noble wizard, it is still easy to attract prying eyes, which will be very troublesome.
But if it is a man and a woman, and there are some summoned creatures, it will be obviously different.
"It's okay. I understand. But I'm more interested in the magic you use than your gender. If I'm not mistaken, you are proficient in four types of magic at the same time?"
If they are heroes chosen by God, let alone four, even eight would be no problem.
But most of the natives, especially before they change to advanced professions such as the Archmage, because of their limited energy, most of them will only dabble in 2-3 types of magic and focus on one of them.
Some extreme cases, such as Sally before joining Levi's army, only specialized in fire.
But it is quite rare to see someone like the other party, using four types of magic at once and making them look pretty good.
In particular, Levi had already secretly asked Virginia, and had confirmed it with many of his subordinates and inspectors.
Although she used many types of magic, most of them were low- to mid-level magic, and her level was definitely not high, which made it even more rare, and it showed that she was extremely talented.
If she could survive multiple battles and transfer to a profession like a great wizard, she would definitely be much stronger than wizards of the same level.
Being questioned by a wizard of Levi's level, the female wizard naturally had nothing to hide.
She just said with a little embarrassment that she did master four types of magic, but most of them were not mature enough and needed the help of additional magic materials or magic scrolls to release them.
It is also because of this that every battle requires the consumption of a large number of magic scrolls. After a battle, not to mention how many enemies are killed, the cost is definitely very high.
Unless there was another bounty, they wouldn't be able to earn back even one-tenth of the cost just by relying on the spoils, so the two of them were hired by Virginia.
After she finished speaking, she was still a little nervous, as if she was afraid that she would be despised by Levi because of this.
But Levi didn't think about it at all. Profit-seeking is the instinct of most intelligent creatures. Moreover, as the God-chosen hero who chased the natives everywhere to ask for tasks in the Novice Village, he really had no qualifications to look down on them.
He even became more interested.
Most mages don't need materials when casting spells, they only need magic points.
However, after mastering a rare expertise called spellcasting consumables, they can often use it to slightly enhance the power and release speed of magic, or release some magic that they are not yet proficient in in advance.
For example, if you want to cast a fireball, you can use sulfur or fire elemental crystals, if you want to cast a spider web, you can use spider webs, if you want to cast a stinking cloud, you can use rotten eggs, and so on.
But generally speaking, since it is troublesome to collect various materials, the expertise is rare, and most importantly, the improvement obtained from it is too small, there are almost no God-chosen heroes willing to learn it, and the natives rarely have it.
The female mage in front of me has such expertise, her talent is indeed extraordinary.
So Levi began to actively communicate with the other party about knowledge about magic and its application in actual combat.
He had discussed and studied with many great wizards, and also obtained the divinity of the goddess Lilith. The knowledge he possessed was incomparable to that of ordinary wizards.
Not to mention his many adventure stories. Now, there are legends and stories about him in many taverns within the colony, which is also a reflection of his legendary status.
After the exchange, regardless of how much Levi gained, the female mage felt very surprised. She even took the initiative to tell Levi her name and origin.
Sefa, a female mage who was born in Sylvania and was taught by the saints in the Kingdom of Batol.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows subconsciously. He now knew that one of the aliases of Goddess Lilith was the Goddess of the Lake of the Kingdom of Batto.
She had a spokesperson there, called the Lady of the Lake, and she developed many female wizards, called Saints.
The legal units of the Kingdom of Batto usually only have those called Saints.
They assist the king and the lords of the various duchies as their magical advisors, and occasionally form partnerships with other powerful Holy Grail Knights.
All in all, they hold a high status in the Kingdom of Batto.
Although the goddess did not directly rule the Kingdom of Batto, her influence had already spread throughout the entire kingdom.
Sefa was taken in and taught by the saints, and then appeared in front of him so coincidentally. Is it really just a pure coincidence?
For some reason that neither Sefa nor Levi know yet, most of the saints only specialize in a few types of magic, such as nature, wind, thunder and light.
They basically don't involve earth, fire, ice and other magics, and it is even more impossible for them to use darkness and other magics.
Sefa couldn't get any knowledge about fire and ice magic there, but what Levi had used most before were micrometeors, fireballs, ice storms, etc., so after the communication, she really thought she had gained a lot.
Putting aside his slightly chaotic thoughts for the time being, Levi smiled slightly: "Mysterious things? It really suits you very well."
Sefa was suddenly a little surprised. In her hometown, her name did have this meaning.
Apart from Sonia, who also came from Sylvania, this was the second person, no, the elf, who immediately noticed this upon meeting for the first time.
Seeing that the magic exchange between Levi and Sefa seemed to be over, Sonia next to them also came over and briefly explained to Levi the reason why they came here.
They heard a few days ago that the Church of Cyric was using the undead to fight and even had connections with the Underdark.
In addition, the legendary necromancer Herman Gost seemed to be active nearby, so they planned to go and investigate.
But they didn't expect to encounter such a large-scale undead here, and they dared to openly besiege the temple of a goddess.
Hearing this, Levi laughed and said, "You don't have to go to Silver Town for the time being. The Church of Woking has successfully fought back and regained its lost territory. It is currently settling accounts with all the enemies who participated in the original conspiracy, including the undead."
"What?"
"How come it's so fast?"
Both women were a little surprised. Generally speaking, the major churches would not easily start a larger war, but once it started, it would definitely not be so easy to end.
Because they often have very solid foundation, it is normal for them to fight for several months or even years.
For example, the war between the Church of Bane and the Church of Cyric has lasted for hundreds of years.
But when they looked at Levi's rather reserved smile again, they suddenly realized that he must have played a significant role in it.
Sefa said with a little curiosity: "So, Lord Levi and the high elves..."
Levi smiled slightly: "Now Thorn Town is under my jurisdiction. In addition, there are some Barto knights working for me, dedicated to fighting against the thieves of the Mask Church and the ratmen in the gutter."
After a brief pause, he continued, "After the battle here is over, would you be willing to help me clear out the evil around here?"
"As for the compensation, you can rest assured. I will never be stingy with my friends."
Hearing this, both of their eyes lit up.
Although their main target is the undead, led by vampires, other evils are also their prey.
Moreover, they are all in the stage of going out for training. In addition to obtaining enough rewards through fighting to support their next battle, they also want to fight against more types of enemies.
So after looking at each other, they both nodded repeatedly.
Levi also laughed. Although he didn't know whether it was a simple coincidence or the guidance of the goddess Lilith, he had already decided to keep her as much as possible!
