Although Wang Jerry was quite alert, when he saw the performance of those generals and priests, he knew something was wrong, so he took the lead in retreating.
But no matter how fast he ran, he could never be as fast as Levi riding a griffin.
First the ice storm slowed him down, then the ice wall blocked his way, and finally the black tentacles + steel constraints. Wang Jerry was immediately fixed in place, and his companions and subordinates could not move.
The slave rats and clan rats that served as cannon fodder began to die in large numbers.
At the same time, Luna also caught up with a large number of female hunters. Under Luna's excellent command, the female hunters who survived to the present are at least level 4 after such frequent battles.
Combined with the mounts they ride on, it is almost impossible for even ordinary storm rats to defeat them in a single fight, not to mention other ratmen.
And when Levi summoned a large number of poisonous scorpion guards, their idea of ​​escaping through the underground passage was completely destroyed.
The female ratman next to her was still carrying the dimensional stone and raising her gun, trying to continue resisting, but the priest riding a skeleton warhorse following Levi had already thrown out a light net at the right time.
So she was silenced instantly.
Although he was much worse than Teclis in the past, and even needed to cast spells continuously, he still had no problem dealing with a God-chosen hero who was lower in level than him.
As for the opponent's hero units, they are either warrior type or assassin type. In this situation, they can't exert much power at all.
Instead, the male Onmyoji used some wind or fire spells in an attempt to change the situation.
But it was obvious that due to the huge gap in strength between him and Levi, his resistance seemed so powerless.
However, he seemed to be a summoner. He soon spat out several mouthfuls of blood as a sacrifice and summoned a giant wheel with flames burning all over the body and a big bald head in the middle. He barely broke the shackles of ice and gave them a chance to breathe.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This monster called Rinrudo is very ordinary in ordinary models, but with the attribute of flame, this thing can barely be regarded as an entry-level high-level monster. It should have the strength of a 5th-level elite.
The other party cast spells one after another, summoning several ape-like ghosts holding large spears and with horns on their heads, as well as two mud wall monsters that looked like stone walls, surrounding them in the middle.
The strength of these two kinds of monsters is not very strong, and their characteristic is that they are relatively resistant to attacks. However, the Onmyoji can be considered to have some strength to summon so many monsters in succession in such a short period of time.
There is also a female monster holding a folding umbrella, which shoots out a series of poison needles in succession. Even the Tiger User and others are inevitably poisoned, slowed down, weakened, etc. It seems that she should be a heroic unit.
In addition, there is a small and delicate red fox riding on a bamboo tube, floating about one meter above the ground.
It used the bamboo tube as a musket, spewing out balls of flames with considerable power.
Unfortunately, compared with Levi, he is far behind.
Because in just these few seconds, the Onmyoji discovered that there were fifty or sixty more celestial creatures around him, who had different appearances but all looked very powerful.
Looking at Levi's summoning speed, he was even more dumbfounded.
He summoned these monsters one by one, and had to pay a certain price afterwards.
But the opponent summoned whole teams one after another, and it was almost instant!
He immediately turned around and glared at Wang Jieri. Although he didn't say anything, his anger was clearly conveyed: Why did you have to pick on this kind of guy when you could pick on anyone else?
But Wang Jierui was too busy to pay attention to him for the time being. Even now, the helplessness in his heart had gradually surpassed his resentment towards Li Wei.
"Levi, why is it you again..."
Everyone knows their own business. After the failure of this sneak attack, the elite power of the Corrupted Clan in this place will probably be lost overnight.
Next, the other party will have a smooth journey to the ratman's lair.
When he saw that the situation was not good, he was the first to start retreating in a hurry in order to preserve more strength.
Of course, it’s not just that.
But now that he has been caught up by the other party, not only will his wish not be realized, but today will probably not end peacefully.
Levi laughed: "It seems that you are very resistant to me, but there is no need to be, because we don't have any essential conflict."
He really did not deceive the other party, because his original purpose was only the Ninth Volume of Nagash, while Khalida wanted to eradicate the cancer left here by the Vampire Queen - the Silver Blood Army.
Although they felt that there was something wrong with the ratmen at the Peak of Resentment, they really didn't expect that this would be an important base of the Corrupted Clan.
It can only be said that the rats' sneak attack exposed them in advance.
Wang Jierui subconsciously wanted to refute: "How is that possible? Earl Edward said..."
But halfway through, he felt something was not right, because from beginning to end, they were just listening to each other instead of getting the information themselves.
No one knew what was going on, but the rat warlords and rat prophets here easily believed the other party's words and cooperated with the other party to send troops.
By the time they felt something was wrong, Edward died cleanly at the hands of the other party, making it difficult for them to get off their horses.
Later, the other party followed them all the way and they had nowhere to escape.
Wang Jerry couldn’t help but curse: “Damn, there must be something wrong with that Edward!”
At this time, the female ratman who had been silent also spoke up: "Maybe he is not Edward."
Levi immediately smiled and nodded: "It seems that you are not stupid, it's just your heads. Were those natives fooled by vampires?"
Seeing that Levi had no intention of taking action immediately, but instead started communicating with them here, although he was still a little nervous, Wang Jierui gradually relaxed a little.
He nodded and said, “That’s right, our military rank is not high enough, so we can only follow orders, so don’t blame us, Levi.”
Levi waved his hand: "Of course, I have never blamed you, it's just that everyone has a different standpoint."
He really had never hated the other party. If the other party had not tried to rob the Zhendan caravan before, how could he have established a relationship with the Zhendan Weibei Province and the Yuan family so quickly?
Wang Jierui's mind suddenly became more active. He felt that he had heard something of what Li Wei meant: "So you want us..."
Levi smiled and said, "Like I just said, we don't have any fundamental conflict. Khalida wants to kill the natives, not the chosen heroes."
"So, if you can point out the way to the Corruption Clan's lair here, or even the location of the Silver Blood Army's lair, I can guarantee that not only will I let you go, but Kalida may even give you some rewards."
He was not just saying this casually. In Khalida's opinion, the Vampire Queen and her subordinates were the real mortal enemies.
In comparison, these ratmen are just minor troubles and some moving organ jars.
What's more, Wang Jieri and the others are heroes chosen by God and cannot be easily killed completely, so she is too lazy to be so serious.
If the other party could help her successfully defeat the Silver Blood Army, she might really give him a reward . Anyway, with so many gem mines, she really has no concept of ordinary small money.
Wang Jierui's heart suddenly beat fast. Now everyone knows that even if the chosen heroes can be resurrected, it will not be without cost.
If you die multiple times in a short period of time, it is possible to permanently lower your level cap.
Not to mention the impact on their subordinates after they died in battle.
Races with higher morale and loyalty, such as dwarves, may be relatively less affected.
But given the nature of the ratmen, once he died in battle, the ordinary ratmen would probably run away, and even the ratmen heroes under his command would feel strange.
Because compared with other races, the heroes of the Skaven have a very special attribute - loyalty.
The quality and quantity of direct subordinates, the granting or deprivation of equipment, the success of the war, and most importantly, the life and death of the God-chosen hero, will all have varying degrees of impact on their loyalty.
If their loyalty is too low, they will not just run away, they may even rebel with their troops.
So if you can avoid dying, it’s better not to die.
However, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he turned around and whispered a few words to his two companions, and then turned around and started bargaining with Levi.
"You can lead the way. We happen to know the location of the Silver Blood Army's lair. It is said that the place where they stayed was dug out by us ratmen."
"But we have other conditions besides keeping ourselves safe."
Levi's smile remained unchanged: "Oh, are you going to corrupt the things in the clan's lair?"
The reason why the other party was so anxious to escape just now, apart from seeing that the war was not going well, was simply because of this reason.
Betrayals among the Skaven natives are endless, and the chosen heroes will only make things worse.
Seeing that Li Wei spoke so directly, Wang Jierui was too lazy to beat around the bush. He simply nodded: "Yes, to you, those things are worthless, but to me, they are very precious, and I am determined to get them."
If he could obtain all the research data of the Corrupted Clan here, even if this nest was destroyed, it would not be a big deal, because he could then establish a completely new clan of his own!
Levi had no objection. The ratmen did not use gold coins as currency, and their equipment and skills were basically only applicable to the ratmen.
Theoretically, even if he raided the other party's house, he would at most get some experience points, and there would be little that would be of real use in other aspects.
Using the spoils that he never got and were of no use to him to exchange for the other party's cooperation was a win-win in any way.
"Okay, as long as you can tell me if it's something related to the rat people, I can leave it to you to deal with."
Wang Jerry nodded. "One more thing. If the original plan had been followed, the leader of the ratmen here should have already taken the latest creation of the Corrupted Clan, the Nest Rat, to attack Khalida."
"If it wasn't killed by Khalida, I hope you can help me kill it."
"Nest-fearing rats?"
This is another new word that Levi has never heard of. It seems that the Corrupt Clan has really come up with a lot of new tricks without realizing it.
"Well, you can think of it as a monster that combines the size of an ankylosaur, the appearance of a crocodile, the characteristics of a ghoul, and the cunning of a rat."
"Although the Corrupted Clan cannot be mass-produced yet, they are likely to be stronger than ordinary rat trolls. They are a war beast between level 5 and 6 with extremely strong vitality."
Even if he didn't say it, as long as they appeared on the battlefield, Levi would naturally get the relevant information quickly, so Wang Jerry didn't mind doing him a favor.
Levi narrowed his eyes slightly. Even if mass production was not possible, if the rat people had a behemoth of this level, would they still be willing to stay in the most desolate areas or under human towns, living by picking up garbage from the sewers?
"Okay, I agree. Let's set off immediately without further delay. First, we will go to the lair of the Silver Blood Army, and then to the lair of the ratmen."
Hearing what Levi said, Wang Jierui suddenly became anxious: "This won't work, we must go to the rat man's lair first!"
Looking at Levi's half-smile, Wang Jieri gritted his teeth again, but at this point, the situation was no longer under his control.
He could only reveal the whole story: "The ratmen's nest is less than three miles away from here. It is for this reason that the ratmen came out in full force to attack Khalida."
"If we go to the Silver Blood Army's lair first, by the time I come back, it will probably have been emptied out by other ratmen."
Levi nodded: "But if that's the case, then I can't give you all the spoils right away. You can take 30% first, and I'll give you the rest after we find the Silver Blood Army."
Wang Jierui was very dissatisfied: "I understand the reason. We can't trust each other, but isn't 30% too little?"
The female ratman next to him also chimed in, "That's right, Levi, you are such a famous person, do you really have to be so fussy?"
"Haha, do you think you still have room for bargaining? Listen to the voices over there, the war is almost over."
"When Khalida catches up with us, she may not be as easy to talk to as I am."
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Wang Jierui and others had no choice but to compromise.
In the final analysis, it is because they are not as strong as others. Now they are trapped here, and even their life and death depend on Levi's decision. No matter how aggrieved they are, they can only accept it.
However, according to the many rumors about Levi on the forum, at least he is still very honest. As long as he does not regret the deal, it will definitely bring many benefits to his side.
After confirming the general idea, they stopped talking nonsense and started leading the way.
Levi asked the priest to convey a message to Khalida, while summoning more Tiger Envoys, Patrol Wolf Envoys and Swift Rat Envoys.
These guys are very fast and have a keen sense of smell. If the other party wants to do something sneaky, they can at least take precautions.
However, in order to make the other party work honestly and not have any unnecessary thoughts, Levi took the initiative to calm down and communicate with the other party in a gentle voice, trying to ease the relationship.
Although he was in a bad mood, Wang Jierui couldn't help but give face to Levi since he had this attitude.
And in the final analysis, the hatred between the two sides was also initiated by them, and Levi was just passively counterattacking.
Although he was angry, he still had a clear mind on this issue.
Then Levi soon learned that the other party had been active in this area from the very beginning. In this entire mountain range, there were only two Ratmen God-chosen heroes, a man and a woman, which allowed them to develop quite well.
As for the Onmyoji, he was their real-life friend who had traveled thousands of miles on a Nebon pirate ship to meet them.
The Onmyoji of Nipon, in terms of combat, relies heavily on various summoned creatures called "Shikigami", followed by spells such as earth, fire, water, wind, and thunder.
When summoning, unless one has overwhelming strength and conquers the opponent by force, various sacrifices are often required.
Including but not limited to blood, souls, monster cores, elemental crystals they call "spiritual stones", and even dimensional stones.
This is also one of the important reasons why the other party easily decided to meet Wang Jierui, because among the rat people, these things are not lacking.
It seems that the profession of Onmyoji is quite evil.
But there is nothing they can do about it, their Shikigami are essentially just demons and monsters.
So after Levi took the initiative to express his goodwill, this Onmyoji named Kamo was the most enthusiastic towards Levi among the three, because he was very envious of Levi's many summoning spells.
If one could summon celestial creatures, who would want those ugly and terrifying monsters that always want to eat people or even eat him?
There are indeed some pretty ladies among the high-level shikigami, but his current strength is still not enough...
Levi was also chatting with Wang Jieri, learning more about the Corrupted Clan and the Silver Blood Army, and responding to him casually.
That's not all. He even had enough energy to keep in touch with his subordinates and Khalida through Monitoring Yakong, and to deal with the occasional temptations of the female ratman.
He didn't know when his brain's operating speed began to increase continuously, and now it was common for him to multitask, and he didn't even feel tired.
You know what, maybe he really wanted to ask Levi for advice, so in just a few miles, He Mao almost exposed all his family background.
Levi also took the opportunity to find out that he had some interesting little gadgets in his hands.
A Fox Contract can be used to sign a permanent contract with a small fox that can float at low altitude and breathe fire. It can not only be used for summoning, but can also become a magic pet of a wizard.
Although the strength of the tube fox is very average, the appearance of the little fox is still very good, and among the low and medium-level monsters, it also has higher potential.
The Broom God Talisman can forcibly summon several Broom Gods.
As the name suggests, broom gods are broom spirits. If you have your own village, you can let them sweep the floor.
Since they are monsters, as long as they are rewarded with some elemental crystals, they can work 24 hours a day without interruption, without eating or drinking.
Then there is a Tubi Stone, which can be used 3 times a day, and each time can summon 2-5 Tubi, which are small monsters like mud walls.
It is said that they are some mud walls that collapsed and crushed people to death, and then by chance, they turned into monsters.
Their movement speed is almost zero, but their defense and health are decent, making them very typical meat shield cannon fodder monsters.
Although Levi had no shortage of these little things, the other party was so proactive and enthusiastic that he was willing to express his goodwill, so he exchanged two Jackal Guards with the other party.
With Khalida's support from behind, the Jackal Guard is really a bargain for him now.
These rather novel little things can be used as small gifts to be given to Sefa and others later.
Seeing this, not only , but Wang Jieri and the female rat man's expressions also looked much better.
Again, there is no permanent hatred between the chosen heroes of God. As long as the benefits are sufficient, they can cooperate even if they belong to different races.
If the two sides can really live in peace in the future, is it possible for them to also obtain this special construct?
The first time this thought arose in Wang Jierui's mind, it could not be shaken off.
Except for some modified, brainless beastmen, almost all ratmen have one thing in common, that is, they bully the weak and fear the strong, and cannot fight tough battles.
Those seemingly ferocious beasts, after being transformed and having the characteristics of ratmen, will also become afraid of death and are still not perfect cannon fodder.
But a construct, who has ever heard of this thing being afraid of death?
However, he didn't have time to look carefully for the moment, because the ratman hero in front of him had stopped and nodded at him.
He immediately said: "Levi, we are here."
Levi looked around and there was nothing special about him. It was just a typical desert Gobi. If he had come here alone, he would never have thought that there was anything unusual here.
He nodded to the other party, indicating that the passage could be opened.
Then he saw Wang Jerry take out some tools such as shovels and pickaxes, as well as a few green things shaped like electric drills, and some strong storm rats, and started working together.
He almost couldn't hold back. He thought there would be some special method, but it turned out to be just brute force digging?
However, although the principles of those electric drills are definitely different, the actual effects are really the same as those of electric drills. With bursts of noise, gravel flew everywhere for a while.
Seeing Levi's rather strange look, Wang Jierui was also a little embarrassed. Then he said, "I bought this thing from the Skryre clan specially. I originally planned to use it to counter your spell."
"But later I found that although they are effective, they make too much noise. Once used, they can be heard for miles around, making it impossible to launch a successful sneak attack."
Levi waved his hand, indicating that he was not surprised by this. He was just curious why they chose to dig a hole?
Why don't you just go back to where you came from before?
Faced with this question, this time it was the female rat man who took the lead in explaining for him.
She is Wang Jerry's biological sister, and has a jokey name - Wang Tom.
From the rather awkward expression on her face when she gave her name, Levi couldn't help but suspect that this might be her real name. It can only be said that their parents are really careless...
"The ratmen here are very wary of us. We usually live in the outer area. The road leading to the core area is not only extremely narrow, but also full of traps. Moreover, there may be other ratmen trying now."
"So we just dig directly from the top. We have determined that this is the shallowest, at most 4-5 meters thick, and the texture is relatively soft, which is very suitable for excavation."
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. My goodness, even if nothing happened today, the two of them probably already had plans to steal things, right?
But this takes too much time. Although according to the information from Inspector Yakong, the battle on Khalida's side is about to end, Levi has never forgotten that the real target of this army is the Silver Blood Army, not the Ratmen.
They have already wasted too much time here and can't delay any longer!
So he simply waved his hand and released the magic of turning fossils into mud. As a supporting magic, turning mud into stone and turning fossils into mud can be regarded as a spear and a shield. How could he only know one of them?
With his current strength, except for the strongest diamonds and granite, all other rocks, whether sandstone or shale, can be easily turned into soft soil.
Wang Jieri, who had just been working hard for a long time, was suddenly speechless. He felt that Levi was his natural nemesis.
He could always easily provoke my anger, but not only could I not do anything about him, I had to beg him for help!
Although he felt a little resentful in his heart, Wang Jieri's hands did not hesitate at all. Instead, they moved faster, because he had been craving for the things in it for a long time.
With the cooperation of each other, after just a few minutes, there was a loud crash, and a large piece of soil fell down, and at the same time a series of squeaks unique to ratmen were heard.
Li Wei and Wang Jieri were both delighted at the same time because they had completely uncovered the truth!
But at the same time, an unprecedented foul-smelling cloud, which even had a hint of color, also rose into the sky.
Wang Jierui, who was closest to him, screamed immediately, fell to the ground, and began to retch heavily.
The Tiger Envoys and Wolf Patrolmen who had been surrounding him also sobbed, covered their noses, and retreated repeatedly.
Most of the time, their keen sense of smell can play a very good role when chasing and hunting, but now they are in the most pain.
Wang Tom and He Mao were both confused for a moment, but they were still very cautious and kept a distance.
Seeing them behave so exaggeratedly, Levi did not dare to be careless.
First he sent out some poisonous scorpion guards and summoned some desert beetles with less sensitive sense of smell. Then, after thinking about it, he activated the Flame Guard of the Balrog.
Attacks from the types of smell and sound waves are always difficult to defend against, and in most cases one can only rely on physical strength to resist them, but flames should be able to burn off some of them.
At the same time, he signaled Wang Tom not to stop, as the cave entrance was still not big enough and it was difficult for a large army to pass through.
Seeing Wang Jerry's ecstatic look, Wang Tom chuckled a few times and followed Levi's instructions to continue expanding the hole.
He Mao summoned a dozen ghosts to investigate the situation and fight.
Speaking of which, Onmyoji doesn't particularly care about the recruitment quotas in towns.
Because as long as there are enough sacrifices and he is strong enough, he will be able to summon many Shikigami and permanently transform them into his subordinates.
This was also one of the reasons why he decided so easily to cross the sea to meet Wang Jierui.
Soon, as the entrance of the cave continued to expand, the view gradually broadened, and the battle below gradually came to an end.
At the same time, Levi also roughly figured out why there was such a foul smell here that could be called biological weapons.
Because there are a large number of imprisoned and dismembered beastmen below, as well as some messy and strange creatures that are artificially spliced ​​together.
Those that were sent out to launch attacks before should be considered successful. Many more that were unsuccessful were left here to serve as specimens, materials, or food for other beastmen.
In addition, the beastmen eat, drink, defecate and urinate in extremely narrow cages, which makes the environment here even worse and the air polluted. Ratmen are not a clean race.
Even though Levi just took a few casual glances, he immediately decided that he would never step into it.
It is a combination of a slaughterhouse, a prison, a biological laboratory and an oversized toilet.
Even though there was still some distance between them, the nightmarish scene still made his throat itch and he felt like vomiting.
Fortunately, he did not bring Cindy, Wange and others with him this time, otherwise if these young ladies saw this scene, they would probably vomit even more happily than Wang Jerry next to them.
However, the remaining storm rats under Wang Tom seemed to be unaware of this. Levi could only sigh inwardly, thinking that this was probably the racial talent.
