Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 393 Rapid Battle Flag
Levi on the other side also obviously noticed the other party, not only because it was this guy named Ramses who was shouting just now, but also because of that special battle flag.
Even from such a distance, he could vaguely feel that it was very much like an epic equipment that existed in Lilith's memory.
Epics, legends, and legends, followed by sub-artifacts or artifacts used by the gods.
As an epic equipment, the fact that it can be remembered by Lilith is enough to prove its value.
It is called the Swift Battle Flag, and it is very suitable for troops with charge and ramming capabilities, such as cavalry and chariots.
Similarly, it will be very suitable for the Sphinx that has just been baked and not yet officially activated.
As an extremely special epic treasure, although it is not unique, the number of it is indeed not large. If you miss this opportunity, it may take many years to see it again.
So when it appeared in his sight under this circumstance, an idea immediately came to his mind, that is, to kill people and steal treasures!
After the God-chosen heroes die in battle, there is a high chance that they will randomly drop one or several items, ranging from equipment on their bodies to items in their space rings.
If we lower his luck a little bit more...
You can try it!
Although Levi and his men used various methods, there were still many chariots that rushed up because there were enough of them.
But when they hit the scarab, they only felt like they had hit a steel wall.
Although the scarab's counterattack did not cause much damage to them, the spears of the silver guards hidden behind it should not be underestimated.
Since he knew the opponent's weaknesses, how could Levi not release some fire enchantments on them?
But the opponent was not completely powerless to fight back. Several magic units used the special magic of the Tomb Kings.
For a moment, the battlefield was filled with flying sand and rocks, obscuring the vision of many people. Then countless illusory energy locusts swarmed out and began to gnaw at the silver guards and others.
There was also a huge energy skeleton falling from the sky, spinning and spitting out countless bone fragments from its mouth.
It’s a pity that although they look powerful, their actual results are not outstanding.
Not to mention heroic units like Levi, the Silver Guards are most famous for their high resistance to magic!
Several God-chosen heroes also rushed to the front of the formation, but after a tentative charge, they retreated helplessly.
In the past, their chariot battalions relied on the power of collision to forcibly tear apart the enemy's formation and then kill them in large numbers.
Or they could constantly stay on the periphery, using their own super high speed to erode the enemy, and then defeat them in one fell swoop after the enemy is weakened enough.
But this time, due to the special terrain here, the second tactic could not be used at all. As for the first tactic, it was almost ineffective.
Because except for a few heroes with better equipment and higher levels, ordinary chariots simply cannot hit the opponent!
As expected, a great reputation is worthy of its name. Levi is indeed very strong, and they all know that this is not even his full strength.
At least those Sky Slashers haven't appeared yet, and those unknown number of female hunters have never shown up from beginning to end.
So they could only look at Ramses again. If he didn't take action, no matter how aggrieved they were, they could only order a retreat.
Although the loss was heavy this time and nothing was gained, it was still better than being completely wiped out.
Levi certainly noticed the other party's timidity, but despite this, he did not let Elegy and Alduin and the others just give up and launch an attack.
Because Ramses seemed to be charging very fast, almost arriving first after starting later, but he did not directly attack his own side.
He kept circling around the periphery, seemingly trying to find the right angle and opportunity to charge, but wasn't that also just avoiding his own side's attack?
Since he wanted to trick him, Levi couldn't scare him away all at once.
For this reason, he even did not launch a sniper attack on the other chosen heroes. Otherwise, once he opened fire at full strength, the opponents would not be able to rush over at all.
Under pressure from both sides, Ramses turned half a circle, gritted his teeth, and finally chose to charge.
When he charged, Levi immediately realized that, except for the flying units, the speed of all his infantry and cavalry could not catch up with the enemy.
The extremely high speed is not only convenient for running away, it can also enhance the power of the charge. A God-chosen hero with ordinary equipment, even a warrior with thick blood, will probably be severely injured on the spot by his charge.
But now, the faster he runs, the faster he will die!
Seeing that the other party was finally about to fall into the trap, Levi did not launch an attack immediately. As a figure who has been famous here for a long time, Ramses would not be without any backup plan, right?
Sure enough, when he was less than 50 meters away from his own formation, the Silver Light Guards on the northeast side suddenly felt a tremor under their feet and the ground suddenly collapsed.
Caught off guard, several silver guards and two scarabs fell into the deep pit at the same time.
Then, accompanied by several screams, several giant scorpions, five or six meters long and shining with black light, rushed out of the ground waving their huge pincers.
It is one of the characteristic constructs of the Tomb King faction, a superior alternative to Levi's Scorpion Guard, a Tier 5 Tomb Scorpion.
As soon as they saw their claws and the blood on their bodies, everyone knew that the silver guards who fell into the deep pit would obviously not be able to survive.
As for the scarabs, their high weight and low agility mean that once they fall into it, they will not be able to climb out immediately even if there are no enemies inside.
At this time, Ramses also shouted loudly and decisively launched a charge, targeting the corner that was about to collapse.
Seeing this, the other God-chosen heroes were also overjoyed, but then they all had different expressions.
There are no such giant scorpions in the city of Lahmia. When did Ramses get in touch with other Tomb Kings without their knowledge?
But Levi snorted lightly, no longer holding back, and directly threw over a supply of the unfortunate girl.
Several Doom Priests who had been given instructions in advance also used Luck Deprivation.
Ramses, who received the system prompt, immediately felt something was wrong. Now his luck was reduced, which was a bit outrageous!
Levi did not use any offensive magic, but just kept lowering his luck. What was his idea?
But before he could react while charging at high speed, Xiao Qi had already released the spider web technique, Cindy and Sally also used magic to restrict his range of movement, and Levi, who was well prepared, stretched out a finger from a distance.
But as soon as a green light flashed, all of Ramses' movements stopped instantly. Then his entire body turned into ashes and disappeared with the wind. Only the chariot he was riding in continued to gallop forward.
With just one move, he was killed instantly even though his health had been kept at full capacity.
Several God-chosen heroes were all stunned. It was because they knew Ramses' strength that they realized how terrifyingly powerful this seemingly insignificant magic was.
They immediately thought of the famous instant death magic - Finger of Death!
Levi also felt very satisfied. The last time he faced a level 15 wizard, and this time it was a level 10+ God-chosen hero. This was the domineering nature of the instant-death magic.
Once it takes effect, no matter how much health the opponent has, he will die.
Of course, this move learned from the Girl of Doom also really added a lot of power to it. Otherwise, the success rate of ordinary Finger of Death would not be so high.
Unfortunately, there are only one chance left out of the three. I don’t know what conditions the other party will put forward when I go to the Temple of Doom next time.
This thought flashed quickly through Levi's mind, and then he remembered the Finger of Fear that seemed to be very greedy for his body - Lasha.
Could it be that I am going to sell my body?
Shaking his head secretly, Levi gave an order and ordered his troops to launch a full-scale counterattack.
Several Rat Masters who had experienced countless battles and had been promoted to higher ranks had already used the invisibility spell and were quietly running towards Ramses' chariot.
Although he was dead, the battle flag remained on the chariot, and Levi's goal had been initially achieved.
Next, it’s time to harvest.
Elegy immediately laughed loudly, and with a whirlwind slash, he cut the chariots in front of him into pieces.
Alduin also roared and transformed into a half-dragon, leading his own dragon guards and launching a charge.
Before, they took a defensive stance in order to avoid scaring the other party away. Now that Levi's goal has been achieved, they naturally don't need to continue pretending.
Harpros also commanded the scorpion guards, scarabs, etc. to besiege the giant tomb scorpions. Although the opponent's average strength was stronger, his side had the advantage of greater numbers.
Even Martis, who had always been a bit inactive, picked up the spear Levi gave her and took the initiative to launch a counterattack.
At the same time, Luna also led the huntresses and tree spirits, jumped out from the forests on both sides, and launched an attack on the enemy.
She had been hiding in the forest for so long, not just to watch the fun, she was actually looking for the opponent's weak points.
She did gain something. If they only charged in a straight line or engaged head-on, the female hunters were no match for the chariots.
But if she were to maneuver in a small area, she was absolutely sure that she could defeat the other party!
Sefa, Sonia and others naturally fought back with all their might, especially Sonia's whip, which actually had extra lethality against the troops of the Tomb King faction.
Often when she whipped the driver, he would be killed instantly, and when she whipped the chariot, a hideous crack more than one meter long would often appear on the body of the chariot.
It seemed that even though the Egyptian gods had blessed them, making them different from ordinary undead, to her whip, they did not seem to be much different.
Faced with such a fierce attack, several God-chosen heroes who had already considered retreating looked at each other, and without saying anything else, they whistled, turned around and started running.
But the sky suddenly darkened, and a wave of deadly arrows fell from the sky. Of course, it was none other than Donna, who had also been waiting for a long time.
One unlucky guy was killed instantly on the spot, and the other two were half-crippled. Under such an offensive, the enemies, who had no intention of fighting, dared not even utter a harsh word, but just used some hidden means and began to run away as fast as possible.
After Ramses' death, other chosen heroes also fled the battlefield. Although the remaining bone chariots were still resisting, they were soon defeated by Levi's side with full firepower.
Luna and the celestial creatures were busy hunting down and besieging the remaining enemies, while Levi was admiring the new spoils.
Banner of Swiftness (Purple - Epic - Rare Item):
Effect 1, movement speed +30% (up to 50);
Effect 2, charge power +30% (up to 50);
Effect 3, with the passive skill - Terrain Adaptation. The movement speed will not be affected by harsh terrain such as swamps, deserts or shallow water, but it is still possible to receive corresponding damage (such as magma, etc.);
Effect 4, with passive skill - Brisk Steps, acceleration ability +100%, deceleration ability +100%.
Special restriction 1: This item cannot be worn in the equipment slot and must be held or fixed somewhere to take effect.
Special restriction 2: For every level increase in the holder's level (including combat and campaign levels), one additional target can be designated, but the target must be of the same type with the same name.
(No matter what the weather is like, the Swiftness Banner will always fly high, as if in the wind, and the people under it will be able to move as fast as the wind no matter what the situation is.)
It must be said that as expected, it is a treasure that even Lilith has an impression of, it is indeed very powerful.
Not to mention the movement speed, charge power and terrain adaptability, the "brisk walking" actually refers to the starting acceleration and the ability to brake in an emergency.
This will undoubtedly be very useful for cavalry, chariots, and even war monsters like the Sphinx.
As for the restriction, it is actually nothing. Levi can just insert it on the back of the Sphinx and let Bayoru or Leslie serve as the flag bearer.
Then, turning around, Levi saw the sharp eyes of Martis. He was a little surprised, as it was the first time he saw her like this.
"Why, are you interested in it too?"
Maltis nodded: "Yes, I recalled part of it again. In my memory, I would carry the Swift Battle Flag on my back and lead my guards to charge."
Levi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. After witnessing the dark side of Maltis several times, he now began to have some doubts.
Did she really recover that part of her memory, or did she just want to use this as an excuse to get the Speedy Battle Flag?
But it doesn’t matter. I’ve taken my things. Do you still want to run away?
The people waiting for you are mine, so what if the things are left with you!
But unexpectedly, Martis refused Levi because she had no cavalry subordinates at all and it would be a waste to take them.
Levi smiled and put it away for the time being, indicating that if she needed it in the future, she could always come to him for it.
He didn't give it to Luna, mainly because it was too conspicuous for her, and the big cats ridden by the female hunters already had similar skills.
There were some other trophies, but Levi didn’t even bother to look at most of them. Those chariots were only level 3, so what good things could they drop?
Instead, Harpros happily told Levi that he had successfully defeated the opponent's tomb scorpion and recovered some materials.
Perhaps it was because long experience made the doctor wise, his success rate in making constructs was very low, but after failure, he would not lose all the materials directly like others.
Likewise, after defeating a hostile construct, he might also be able to obtain some additional loot, as he is doing now.
But for Levi now, this little money is of no importance at all.
He was more concerned with other issues.
"Does Lahmia City have the method to make the Tomb Scorpion?"
Harpros shook his head hastily. "My Lord, I can guarantee that there is absolutely no such thing. The strongest constructs in the city are the sphinxes that have been handed down from thousands of years ago, followed by the Queen's favorite giant cobra and the jackal-type guards of the gods."
"So, he either unearthed some treasure and obtained the lost Tomb Scorpion, or he has connections with other Tomb Kings?"
Harpros thought about it, then nodded vigorously: "It is very likely, but I don't know which Tomb King it was, because many Tomb Kings have mastered the technology to make them."
Levi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
This information doesn't mean much to him, but it may be of some value to Khalida and the city of Lahmia.
If the other Tomb Kings were secretly in contact with Ramses, did it mean that they were interested in the city of Lahmia?
At this time Luna also returned successfully, so he waved his hand, signaling everyone to move on.
This time he did not try to absorb the souls of the dead, because all the mummies and skeleton soldiers in the Tomb Kings were blessed by the Egyptian gods, otherwise they would not have become what they are now.
Nothing unexpected happened afterwards. Since Levi had already investigated the route in advance and with the help of a local, Harpros, they did not take any detours.
Even if there were some ferocious and brainless beasts blocking the way occasionally, they were killed early by Luna and her team, and did not cause any waves at all, so they arrived at their destination quickly.
From a distance, Levi saw a huge, broken pyramid sitting in the ruins.
A large number of dilapidated streets and houses surround it like stars surrounding the moon, and there is no end in sight.
Even though only ruins remained, he seemed to still be able to imagine how glorious this place once was.
Although it is called the Temple of Bones, in fact, there once existed a Lizardman city here that was even larger and perhaps more prosperous than the Black Castle.
But what surprised Levi was that this place was clearly the territory of the Lizardmen, and it had once been their temple, but Luna, Inspector Yakong, and others did not see any Lizardmen guards.
There didn't seem to be any signs of recent fighting around, as if this place had been completely abandoned by the Lizardmen.
But he knew that was impossible, because the Lizardmen were even more stubborn than the Dwarves.
The biggest possibility is that some external force has affected them, making them temporarily unable to estimate this place?
Thinking of this, Levi quickly issued a series of orders, and then he kept Donna, Luna, and even almost all the Silver Guards.
He only brought his trusted subordinates such as Cindy and Elegy, followed by Sefa, Martis and others.
There is no way. The interior of the pyramid is extremely narrow and difficult to pass through, not to mention that it is a ruined one.
And if one of his guesses is true, then no matter how many ordinary subordinates he has, it probably won't make much sense.
However, their mission outside is not easy. Not to mention that the owner of this place might come back at any time. Would Ramses, who had just been defeated by them and had his treasures robbed, really admit defeat so willingly?
After releasing a bunch of auxiliary magic, under the leadership of Harpros, they found an entrance and then dived in.
In an instant, a lot of decayed and foul smells hit my face, as if countless corpses had rotted here.
This made Cindy, who liked cleanliness, almost vomit.
She could remain calm even when covered in blood during a battle, but this smell was really a bit disgusting.
However, Sonia, Sefa and others did not take it seriously at all, because in the past when they formed a team for adventure, they mainly searched for traces of the undead in various secret tunnels frequently, and they were already used to it.
But the good news was that under the illumination of the Holy Light of the Sky and the props with the Eternal Flame, they could see that this place was more spacious than expected. The passage was nearly four meters high and wide enough for three people to walk side by side.
Levi nodded secretly. This should be prepared for the giant lizards among the lizard people. After all, those big guys are much larger than ordinary humans.
Moving forward along the passage, not far away, when they arrived at a fork in the road, Levi and Cindy, who had just recovered, frowned at the same time, because they both sensed the breath of necromancy and the undead.
Cindy immediately whispered: "Brother Levi..."
She already knew that in this special environment, any sound would be amplified several times, so she had to be careful.
Levi nodded slowly: "Let's go and see what those guys are doing here. Also, always maintain the anti-death barrier."
As soon as the words came out, Cindy naturally obeyed immediately, but Sefa and Sonia behind her looked at each other and became a little excited.
Finger of Death is a 7th-level magic, and can only be used by a wizard of at least level 14.
If Levi believes that there may be a wizard of this level among the undead, this may be an extremely challenging enemy for them!
Following the energy fluctuations, they took a few detours and soon found an entrance leading underground.
As the stench of the undead grew stronger, an almost inaudible sound of prayer came on the breeze.
Levi immediately perked up, and after listening to a few sentences carefully, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, because it seemed to be really about the God of Vipers.
Frowning again, Levi decisively ordered the Death Guards to go first, and the others followed closely.
No matter what, they at least wanted to see with their own eyes what was happening down there!
