Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 376 Vampire Queen
Similarly, the vampires of the Lamia family soon discovered this abnormality, and they also thought of the beastmen.
Because they had received intelligence that the beastmen had created a blood zone covering dozens of miles.
In addition to special materials and sufficient magic power, a large number of corpses and blood are also necessary conditions for creating a blood domain.
After realizing this, many vampires became furious. Since when did even a mere beastman dare to take advantage of them?
And soon, vampires reported that when they tried to summon the resentful and unwilling souls from the corpses of the greenskins, they often failed.
Those souls were either incomplete or had disappeared into thin air.
This immediately confirmed the vampires' guess that the beastmen were probably taking advantage of the chaos to collect blood and souls for use in sacrificial ceremonies, or even using the blood domain to summon demons or something.
"These damned beasts!"
"Despicable beast!"
Many female vampires couldn't help but curse, but soon the leading female vampire understood the point.
"Well, since these beasts can collect blood and souls, they must be not far from the battlefield. Go and find them!"
So under her command, a large number of ghouls and dire wolves began to rush around frantically, determined to find those beastmen.
Farther away, everyone who heard Inspector Yakong's report looked at Levi with admiration in their eyes.
Sure enough, everything was as he expected.
If he had not given the urgent order just now, his side would probably have been discovered by now.
Levi smiled slightly, but it was not because of their eyes, but because Luna on the other side had also brought good news.
She had discovered that there were indeed a large number of beastmen lurking in the woods on the east side of the plain.
It seems that the beastmen not only want to collect blood and souls, but also want to do something to the vampires.
Malar's priesthood includes hunting and blood. Even when hunting the undead, it will still be effective, even if the other party has cold and filthy blood...
Sure enough, some zombies soon discovered the beastmen hiding in the dark, and the beastmen did not hesitate and launched an attack directly.
For a moment, all kinds of beastly roars were heard one after another, and a gray-black army covered with fur, scales, and with sharp claws rushed out of the forest and headed straight for the vampires.
The vampires naturally launched a counterattack immediately, and the battle became extremely fierce almost as soon as it began.
Sonia and the others were just lamenting that they had missed a great war, but soon a new war will begin, and they will have the opportunity to participate in it personally and attack the hateful undead.
Of course, not now. Even if the vampires are fighting with the beastmen, their power is still too strong to be dealt with easily.
So they tried their best to hide themselves while watching the fight between the two tigers.
At the same time, Luna, Inspector Yakon, Ratmaster, and even wind elementals, wood elves and tigresses were all sent to the surroundings.
They don't want to be ambushed by other enemies while they are enjoying the show.
What's more, they soon made new discoveries.
In the forest surrounding the battlefield, there are different forces from at least a dozen races, large and small. Among them are indigenous people and gods' chosen heroes, all there watching the show.
Just think about it and you will know that when the greenskins and vampires fought before, the two sides had a total of tens of thousands of troops. Such a huge momentum would naturally attract the attention of many people.
After sharing this information, Sonia, Sefa and others became more alert. Even though they were full of hatred towards the undead, they must not act rashly at this critical moment.
Even though these small forces that emerged later had troops ranging from thirty to fifty to several hundred people, in the melee, no one knew what they would do and how much damage they could cause to their side.
So they watched the show while keeping alert.
It’s true that these beastmen are quite capable. No wonder they dare to cause trouble in front of the vampires.
In addition to their tens of thousands in number, they also come in a wide variety of species.
In addition to the many types of troops that Levi had seen , such as horned beasts, giant horned beasts, centaurs, minotaurs, and scorpion-tailed lions, there were also a large number of cat people, fox women, monkey people, werewolves, and other miscellaneous races.
It seems that it is not just the centaurs who have responded to Mala's call.
I just don't know if he summoned the cat-people in the name of the Father of All Beasts, or the name of the ancestor of the cat-people or something like that?
But what really attracted everyone's attention were several super-giant four-armed monsters that frequently used skills such as spinning backslash, iron back kick, and football kick.
At first glance they look like enlarged versions of minotaurs, and in fact they once were.
However, when they ate a large number of their fellow minotaurs and gained a powerful body size and matching strength, they became another kind of creature, which the beastmen called Gur beasts.
For almost all races, eating one's own kind is a taboo. The Gur beasts that ate their own kind also absorbed the bloodthirsty desires and evil energy of the dead minotaurs. Naturally, their bodies underwent serious mutations.
The most obvious external feature is that they have four arms, and then they have fangs and sharp beaks growing on various parts of their bodies.
Considering their bodies are at least four or five stories high, these big mouths are not small, often half a meter to one meter wide, which allows them to drink the blood and flesh of the enemy while fighting, restoring their life and physical strength, etc.
In a way, they are more compatible with vampires.
But no matter what, they are also level 7 behemoths like dragons and phoenixes, and may be even stronger in hand-to-hand combat.
Almost any of their moves could repel or knock back large groups of undead.
Perhaps it is because of their existence that the beastmen dare to launch such a bold attack.
Even if the vampires deliberately selected some grave guards who used spears and halberds and were more effective in restraining large units, it would be difficult to completely reverse the situation.
Because these Gul beasts are not unarmed, they are all equipped with super-giant iron claws, and some rough but sturdy armor all over their bodies. Coupled with their own strength, they can set off a storm of killing almost wherever they go.
The vampires didn't realize how powerful they were at first, so they sent out their few terrifying beasts to fight back. They were then pinned to the ground and beaten up. Two of them even had their wings torn off and were killed directly.
As the rank increases, the gap between each rank becomes larger and larger. If among the same type of soldiers, rank 2 can defeat rank 3 under reasonable tactical arrangements, it is difficult for rank 6 to defeat rank 7.
Because that often represents an all-round crushing of attack, defense, life and so on.
Especially this relatively rare Gur beast, which can easily have 2,000 or even higher health points.
If an ordinary warrior hero has not reached the legendary level, it would be difficult for him to fight the opponent head-on.
According to what Goddess Lilith knows, level 7 is the pinnacle of the military class, but even if they are both level 7, the gap between the strongest and the weakest may be even greater than the gap between level 7 and level 0.
If the Gulmon can be upgraded to a heroic unit, it might be able to directly enter the legendary level.
However, the more powerful the troops, the higher the requirements for becoming a heroic unit, and it is not even simply a matter of the heroic spirit.
Otherwise, powerful races such as dragons and phoenixes would have already completely occupied the entire world.
Only then did the vampires realize the true power of each other. Although the Terrorbeast looked large in size, most of its size was taken up by a pair of wings, while the Gulbeast was made up of solid muscles all over its body.
Therefore, they can only use some magic to consume and restrict the opponent first, and then send a large number of cannon fodder to consume the opponent's physical strength, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
This scene shocked everyone, including Levi.
The destructive power that this war behemoth can unleash on the battlefield, as well as the blow to enemy morale, are simply beyond the reach of ordinary troops.
In other words, their opponents are the undead who have no morale. If they were facing an army of ordinary humans or greenskins, there would probably be a lot of deserters by now, right?
But when it comes to ways to deal with it, Levi has quite a lot.
Just fly in the air and keep throwing magic spells down. Even if it has thick skin and flesh, how long can it last?
As long as Disintegrate or Finger of Death takes effect once, it's basically finished.
Likewise, Donna's archer troops are similar. As long as they can break the opponent's defense, the Gul beasts that cannot defend against the air will be worn down sooner or later.
In comparison, the few giants with green faces, fangs and horns on their heads were obviously giants that had undergone some kind of mutation. Although they were also very powerful, they were not as conspicuous.
They were surrounded by a dozen teams of graveyard guards armed with heavy halberds, and were beaten up by some flying frost wraiths and dozens of mid- and high-level vampires. Some of them fell down soon.
This look made Sonia and Sefa look a little contemptuous.
The Cyclops they killed was still injured, but his performance was much better than these guys.
Levi didn't feel too surprised.
The giant race, due to its small number, has been engaging in long-term inbreeding, resulting in their strength and wisdom being weaker with each generation.
Although their bodies are huge, their brains may not even be as big as a walnut. Therefore, almost all intelligent creatures with a certain level of strength can control them.
Including but not limited to greenskins, humans, beastmen, and even ogres.
Except for the greenskins who may treat them relatively well, other races treat them as cannon fodder or reserve food.
In this case, it is hard to say how much combat effectiveness they can exert.
Of course, what we are talking about here are the most common giants. In fact, the subspecies of giants may not be less than the subspecies of elves.
Sand giants, cloud giants, frost giants and the like are often much stronger and smarter than ordinary giants. They have established their own gathering places and towns, and some even dominate a region.
There is also the very powerful Hundred-Armed Giant, which is also one of the top-level troops among the 7th-level troops. If they can become heroic units, almost all of them are legendary.
He was a little surprised at the past performance of the two girls.
Cyclops is also a special species. Their single eye can often release some kind of energy beam, which can bombard enemy forces in a small area.
The rarer ones may even have the ability to petrify things, and their overall lethality is often considered pretty good among the 7th-level ones.
Although the Cyclops was injured again, the two of them were able to defeat the opponent by joining forces. It was indeed very powerful.
Then Levi's attention was also shifted to the vampire army, the hundreds of musketeers and crossbowmen. He even used advanced invisibility to observe them up close.
This 4th-level magic allows him to maintain his invisibility even when he launches an attack or is attacked, making it an excellent magic for reconnaissance and spying.
Then he could be sure that those guys were indeed living people, because low- and mid-level undead would not whisper to each other, slack off, or feel fear or anything like that.
It seems that they are either mercenaries who value money more than their lives, or they are the "Hargui" who were conquered by the Lamia family.
Levi is more inclined to a combination of the two, because these female vampires also like to "get something for free" in various senses.
After watching the show for a while, Levi knew that if the vampires did not find a way to contain those Gul beasts, it was possible that they would be killed by them in the end.
But just waiting like this doesn't seem to be a good idea, and the other small forces around seem to be a bit of a hindrance.
I was thinking of waiting until both of them were defeated, and then I would reap the benefits, but now there are too many fishermen.
So he began to secretly instruct Luna to cooperate with Xiaotian, the supervisors and other celestial creatures, as well as griffins, giant eagles and the like, to start targeted elimination.
Anyway, he had just counted it. No matter whether they were the indigenous people or the heroes chosen by God, none of the races here were kind, so they could be killed.
Besides, the vampires are already busy taking care of themselves, so even if they find something unusual, they don’t have the energy to take care of it for the time being.
After hearing his decision, Virginia, Sonia, Sefa and others also expressed their desire to participate.
Levi also agreed, and he simply sent Elegy, Alduin and Cindy out to fight alongside them.
Now there are so many hero units alone, and except for Virginia whose killing efficiency is a bit poor, the others are all very strong.
With the help of the personal guards including wood elves, tigresses, dragon warriors and sword dancers, safety is also guaranteed.
Unfortunately, in order to avoid being discovered and subsequently besieged by vampires and their terrifying beasts, Donna, one of the strongest output players on her side, was temporarily unable to lead her ranged troops to join the battle.
It is true that the Terrorbeasts cannot defeat the Gulbeasts, but their names in life were Titan Bats. Both in strength and speed, they are extremely powerful. At least the Skyslashers will never be able to escape their pursuit.
Lucia wasn't very interested, so she just accompanied Levi to watch the fun.
Likewise, Stump did not participate. With their short legs and heavy armor, the dwarves could forget about any sneak attacks or covert operations and could only watch the fun from here.
As the war became more intense, Levi became more courageous.
After using advanced invisibility, they even dared to observe the fight between vampires up close.
He had always wondered, if the Nine Volumes of Nagash really were here, why didn't the famous vampire queen come here in person?
Isn't she afraid that a vampire will take the stolen goods and run away with them?
The control that high-level vampires have over their own descendants is not absolute, and vampires have never been known for their loyalty and reliability.
They are the ones who are good at using metaphors both internally and externally and changing their attitudes according to the situation.
Of course, Lucia and her younger brother Alucard should be the only exceptions.
Similarly, Lucia was also a little busy. She was not busy observing the opponent's fighting style, she was just looking for Alucard's trace.
Before, the other party insisted on returning to the Lamia family, continuing to lurk, and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, but now she did not see the other party on the battlefield.
This made her think in a bad direction: Could it be that he was discovered by the other party and then killed?
Tree Stump was not idle either, he was looking for the trace of Chen Cone, the last man in the world.
Previously, the other party said that they would join forces with Brother Levi to trick the Beastmen, but now such a big thing has happened here, and they have not received any relevant information in advance.
Could it be that the benefits offered by the beastmen were too high, so this guy decided to eat alone? Then he had to help Brother Levi keep an eye on him.
Levi's plan went relatively smoothly. With the help of Cindy and others, the troops sent by ordinary small forces were simply unable to resist and many of them were annihilated one after another.
But it is foreseeable that his clearing operation will bring him many new enemies , but he is not afraid of it at all.
Anyway, due to the racial differences and conflicts between the camps, he had no chance of establishing any friendly relations with the other side.
But those guys didn't just sit there and wait to die. Some began to retreat, some began to resist, and soon the noise became louder and louder, to a point where the vampires and beastmen could no longer ignore it.
But just as Levi speculated, even if they knew it, both sides were temporarily unable to deal with them.
The vampires were exhausted because they were tormented by a few Gul beasts, and the beastmen were obviously inferior to the vampires in terms of average strength, equipment, coordination, and even spells, except for the Gul beasts, so they could not be distracted.
Even though everything was going smoothly, Levi did not let his guard down, because he knew that the truly decisive factor had not yet been fully revealed.
If nothing else, the Vampire Queen didn’t show up.
On the side of the Mala Church, Chen Zhui, the doomsday figure who had already gained a certain status, also did not show up.
As a hero chosen by God, he understands the opponent best. If he gives up the battle here, it means there must be other places that attract him more!
As the battle continued, Cindy and his men fought more and more bravely, and soon killed thousands of enemy soldiers. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining small forces basically all chose to flee.
They were initially attracted by the battle here and wanted to watch the excitement, but it was not worth risking their lives.
Basically, most of the God-chosen heroes now know that dying in battle once or twice may not have any obvious consequences for the time being.
But if it happens too many times and affects your level cap, the loss will be too great.
Likewise, the battle between vampires and beastmen became increasingly intense, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.
Apart from those that can fly and some spirit-like units, the vampire side only has a dozen bloodthirsty sky ghosts that can be considered powerful forces.
Other terrifying beasts, bloodthirsty bat wolves and many human "Hagui" were all killed by the Gul beasts and others. They seemed to particularly like killing strong enemies and devouring human flesh and blood.
Faced with the wild attack of the Gul beasts, the vampires obviously would not deliberately spend a lot of energy to protect those "Ha Ghosts".
However, the Beastmen were not having an easy time either. During the fierce battle, many Beast Kings and Shamans, which were heroic units, were found and killed by the vampires. Some of the stronger Giants and Minotaur were also almost wiped out.
Now the whole scene is being held up by a few wounded but still standing Gul beasts.
However, due to the loss of the secret command of the heroic units, if the fight continues, it is likely that the vampires will still win in the end.
Because they have learned to be smart now, they only use a small number of Grave Guards to attract the enemy, and use a large number of spirit units to besiege them. As long as the recovery of the Gul beasts cannot keep up with the damage they suffer, it is only a matter of time before they are killed.
All in all, things seemed to be developing in the direction that Levi wanted most. When both sides were exhausted, it would be their turn to take the stage.
But Levi frowned slightly, because he found that even when the two sides were fighting fiercely, there was still no blood on the battlefield.
This seems to indicate one thing, that the special rituals of the Beastmen have not stopped.
Does that mean that Chen Zhui, the last days man, is currently holding a real ceremony with some high-level beastmen in some other place?
For example, summoning the so-called "Father of Beasts" to come?
After having this idea, seeing that there were no small forces around, Levi gathered Cindy, Elegy, Sefa and others around him again.
At a time like this, it is better to be cautious. After all, they have watched a good show and killed thousands of troops, so it is not a wasted trip.
They didn't have to wait too long, as the Monitory Sub-kong soon sent them information that the range of the blood zone set up by the Beastmen seemed to have expanded several times more than at the beginning, and it looked like it was almost approaching the pollution pit.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown.
If this is the case, then if we want to go there and do something next time, we will have to endure the negative state of corrosion, which will weaken us quite a bit.
Similarly, if other forces want to go there, they must also deal with this trouble.
Before Levi could make a new plan, new changes occurred on the battlefield. Blood-red bats that covered the sky fell from the sky and pounced on several Gul beasts.
Although they looked very weak, they managed to bite through the thick skin of the Gur beasts and suck blood from them.
At the same time, their attacks seemed to have some special effects. All the Gur beasts made terrible screams, and when they tried to slap the bats, their movements were obviously several beats slower.
The other beastmen were a little confused, but the vampires were overjoyed.
"It's the Queen!"
"Your Majesty!"
“The Queen is coming!”
Amid their cheers and accompanied by a series of giggles, a vampire dressed like a noble lady, with a pretty face slightly raised, tempting red lips, and even a rose in her hair, looking extremely gorgeous, was the first to descend from the sky.
Judging from her powerful strength and the way other vampires address her, she should be the queen of the Lamia family - Neferata.
As for the man following behind her who looked like a noble prince of the dark night, who else could it be but Alucard?
It seems that after regaining his memory, he immediately relied on his own strength and wisdom to quickly gain a certain status in the Lamia family, and even won the trust of the Vampire Queen, allowing him to be by her side.
However, after seeing the situation clearly, the queen's mood immediately became bad.
She had been accumulating strength for a long time, but before she really got close to her goal, it was almost consumed by some dirty beastmen?
So she didn't respond to her subordinates at all, but just snorted coldly and continued to cast magic.
The most urgent matter is these smelly beasts. They are just wild beasts, how dare they covet blood?
The other vampires immediately felt uneasy. After being beaten like this, the queen had enough reason to punish them...
After seeing the other party take action, Levi and others on the other side also became alert, because the Vampire Queen was many times stronger than other vampires.
Although the spells of ordinary vampires can harm the Gul beasts, they can easily recover after just a few bites.
But the blood magic of this queen has at least five or six special effects: corrosion, weakening, reducing defense and recovery effects, deceleration, low probability of paralysis...
Each of these effects wouldn't be particularly impressive if taken individually, but when one magic spell has so many attributes stacked on top of it, it's no longer a question of strength or not, it's simply a bit abnormal!
This directly resulted in that even though her magic attack power did not seem to be particularly strong, the strength of the Gul beasts was severely weakened, and the bloodthirsty Sky Demons, who were originally no match for them, were able to surround them and take advantage of her.
After observing for a while, Levi frowned slightly. He didn't know what kind of magic the queen's blood bat was.
Although they are made up of energy, they are like living things. Not only do they squeak and make noises, but after absorbing enough blood, they can also split into new little bats.
This resulted in the situation that even though she only used one move, she quickly covered all the beastmen within a thousand square meters, and her attack power did not seem to be weakened at all.
Levi watched helplessly as a level 3 giant horned beast, which was originally in good condition, was pounced on by a few seemingly inconspicuous blood-red bats. In less than a second, it was sucked into a dried corpse. Then two new members joined the bat group.
If we go into battle with her later, I'm afraid all our members will be hit soon. This will be especially fatal to ranged units like Donna and many magic troops.
As expected, she is the vampire queen who has lived for thousands of years. Every move she makes seems so powerful.
Unfortunately, he had dealt with legends too infrequently to know what rank she was among them.
But no matter what, with the other party here, we probably won’t have any chance of getting any advantage.
But fortunately, after defeating other small forces, we have gained some benefits.
With such emotion, Levi secretly sent a message, asking Donna to continue to take the Sky Slayer and stay away. At the same time, his main force also began to retreat.
Otherwise, once the other party kills all the beastmen, it will be my turn to be in trouble.
But at this moment, there was suddenly a blood-red light in the distance, rushing straight into the sky, and then a laughing phantom with a red leopard face and a monkey body flashed by.
It would have been fine for Levi who had already expected this, but the vampire queen on the other side was almost frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
Because she recognized that image. It was the evil god worshipped by the beasts she was slaughtering - Mala, the Lord of All Beasts!
