Thanks to Grena's full cooperation, the process went very smoothly.
Although she had been imprisoned in the core area as a slave, as a prophet and a person with ulterior motives, she was of course always paying attention to collecting all useful information, which helped Levi a lot.
Happy Forgotten Palace (Black Ark)
(Since you have occupied the place by force without authorization from the Witch King and Witch Queen, you are temporarily unable to use all functions normally and can only view part of the information)
Super large vehicle (15 km x 28 km)
Biomass (cannot be estimated)
Cargo capacity (cannot be estimated)
Garrison (0/200000) (can be upgraded)
Power source:
1. United Mage Tower (enabled);
2. Sacrifice array (not activated);
3. Power Transformation Ceremony (Enabled);
4. Sea beast traction rope (enabled);
5. Magic Sail (not enabled).
Special Building 1: Composite Mage Tower - Temple, currently worshipping the following deity:
Bloody Hand God - Kane (powerful divine power)
God of Disaster - Illinir (Weak Power)
Queen of the Hydra - Hecate (weak divine power).
Can cast battle magic: Cain's Whip, Soul Rain, Vicious Black Fire, and Blood Pool from the Sky.
Special building 2: Sea beast capture house.
Special Building 3: Black Wall (105 meters high, current overall integrity 97%)
Seeing this, Levi was really shocked.
Even though he had learned from Grena that the black walls of the Ark should be calculated from the underwater part, the higher point was understandable.
But they put in so much effort and ended up with only 3%?
Although in actual combat, there is no need to destroy all the city walls before launching an attack, as long as there is a breakthrough, it is enough.
But it can also be roughly seen that the Black Ark's defense is truly invincible.
This made him even more tempted. No matter what the cost, he must convince Lilith to help him solve the key problem.
As for the source of power, the other Levis could probably understand it. After Grena's explanation of the power conversion ceremony, Levi also immediately understood it.
Simply put, it's like a giant hamster wheel.
There is a large lake in the south of the Black Ark that is connected to the seabed. The dark elves can usually catch fish for food and also capture various sea beasts.
They will try to transform the sea beasts that are capable of fighting and relatively easy to tame into their own troops, and then put them together with the Hydra and the like, and drive them to fight the enemy.
If they were weak in combat or stubborn, they would be thrown into the lake, bewildered by magic, and then made to spin madly.
At that time, the magic circle will absorb its kinetic energy and serve as the power for the operation of the Black Ark.
When the sea beasts are exhausted or die of exhaustion, the dark elves will either kill them for meat or drag them into the sacrificial circle and use them again.
Coupled with the traction of the Mage Tower and sea beasts, the Black Ark's power sources are still very diverse.
But despite this, because its area is so large, unless it stays still, it costs money to move, and it costs thousands of gold coins of magic crystals every day.
If there was a big battle like today's, tens of thousands of gold coins would be lost. Such a huge expense would be difficult for ordinary dark elf lords to afford.
This is also one of the reasons why the dark elves tend to rob more frantically after obtaining the Black Ark.
Now that the dark elves have run away with the Hydra and others, without their traction, the cost of simply using magic crystals will be even higher.
As for other buildings, they are similar to ordinary dark elf towns, with blacksmith shops, grocery stores, taverns and the like.
There are also more than a dozen God-given buildings that can recruit dark elf pirates, gloomy swordsmen, fearful spearmen, witch elves, harpies and cold lizards, but Levi has not yet figured out how to use them.
Once these soldiers from the evil camp were recruited, they would probably immediately engage in a life-and-death battle with him due to conflicts between races and camps.
Although the cold lizard can be used as a war beast and mount, it goes crazy at any time and is quite difficult to deal with.
Levi thought that he could either sell them to those who were not afraid of death through the Lotus of the Red Brotherhood, or the Sun Knights, etc., or he had to find some very professional animal trainers.
For example, lizard people or Amazons.
They can even deal with big dinosaurs, so they will definitely have no problem dealing with cold lizards.
It might not be easy with the Lizardmen, but Levi has decided to go to Paradise Island later.
With Donna and Elegy, it shouldn't be a problem to find some animal trainers or something.
There are also some fighting gyms and arenas. Originally, these were places where the dark elves used the lives of slaves for fun.
But because they had not yet had time to carry out large-scale robbery and capture slaves, they were not put to use for the time being.
Levi felt that with a little renovation and some priests, they could become places for his subordinates to relax and entertain themselves on a daily basis, as well as a place to earn some experience points.
If he was willing to spend some money, he could also learn from the big crocodile Sobek and give his subordinates something valuable as a prize to motivate them.
However, there are still some people in the slave camp who are worth rescuing.
Malus had committed several robberies when he came, and these guys were the victims of one of those incidents. Moreover, the place they came from was quite special, the Land of Mist - Albion.
Although it is called a country, it is actually a large island located in the north of the high elf island of Ulthuan.
As the name suggests, it is shrouded in fog all year round, and inhabited by some barbaric and primitive human tribes with red hair and blue tattoos.
Albion is home to a type of druid called "Truthsayer", as well as a variety of mercenaries.
But the most famous is probably the Stonehenge carved with a language called Ogham.
It is said that they can block the power of demons and devils, prohibit the arrival of these otherworldly evils, and provide "truth tellers" with powerful strength.
Levi wasn't quite sure whether it was true or not, because they were already miserable before the devil came.
Because they have not formed a unified country but exist in the form of large and small tribes, their overall strength is not strong.
They are also located overseas, with no lawful or good allies nearby to rely on, so every time the Norse pirates go out to sea in large numbers, or when the dark elves pass by, they are inevitably robbed.
The power of Stonehenge was not enough to protect their safety.
However, it is said that there are some giants and swamp monsters near Stonehenge, and they will form a temporary alliance with them. I don’t know whether it is true or not?
With such doubts, Levi released all the captives.
Without any hesitation, approximately three hundred Obion warriors swore allegiance to Levi.
Because the environment in their hometown is too harsh, the Orbians are very professional mercenaries, and they habitually pledge allegiance to various lawful or good camps.
In response to the questions raised by Levi, they also gave a positive answer that there were indeed some big guys on the island.
But in recent times, they have become irritable and murderous, and even the "Truth Sayers" have split into two.
A group of them called themselves "Dark Messengers" and took the giants to occupy Stonehenge, refusing anyone else to approach.
As soon as Levi heard this special name, he knew that there was a problem.
It is still unclear which evil god is behind this, or is it simply a demon?
Although the people of Obion live a miserable life, being robbed all year round, and the island is filled with swamps that are not suitable for survival, it is estimated that there are still hundreds of thousands of people on the island.
For medium-level divine powers, they are all quite attractive.
Unfortunately, even if he knew, he didn't have the energy to do anything for the time being. He could provide the information to Lilith later.
Doesn’t she also have the identity of Lady of the Mist? She should be a good match for the Kingdom of Mist, right?
However, she should have known this, but she never took any corresponding action...
Come to think of it, there really doesn't seem to be any god worship on the island of Albion...
The craftsman's workshop can also manufacture Reaper Ballistae. Although this type of war machine is a specialty of the Dark Elves, it has no faction of its own and can still be used.
Then there is what Grena is most concerned about, the Hall of Silence where Medusa can be recruited.
The special troops of level 5 are still very valuable.
The only thing is that the output is a little low. With two Halls of Silence, we can barely put together a small team every week.
In addition, what Levi cares most about is the area of ​​the Black Ark.
It covers an area of ​​420 square kilometers, more than half of which is uncultivated rainforest, a quarter is plains suitable for farming, and a small part of the remaining area is used for garrisons, towns, etc.
If this is taken care of well, simply farming can easily feed hundreds of thousands of people.
But the warehouse was empty. Levi only found magic crystals worth about 18,000 gold coins, which was enough to operate the Black Ark for about 10 days.
This was mainly because Malus had recently obtained it from the Witch King. He robbed humans once on the road, killed two gangs of pirates, and then came straight here. He had no savings at all.
In terms of defense, generally speaking, the Black Ark does not have conventional offensive weapons such as crossbows. It only has battle magic released by the Mage Tower, and then it carries many sea beasts and troops. From this aspect, it is a bit like an aircraft carrier.
But while it is powerful, it also has some drawbacks, not only in terms of energy consumption, but also in daily protection.
With an area of ​​420 square kilometers, the garrison troops required would naturally be in the tens of thousands, and the Black Ark’s greatest weakness is actually its air defense capability.
Under normal circumstances, Malus would be in charge, and there would be many black dragons, manticores, and thousands of harpies serving as the air force.
Coupled with the presence of a large number of Black Crossbowmen, Medusa and numerous mages, this is naturally not a big problem.
But this time, Malus withdrew a part of his troops and encountered powerful enemies like Levi, so he was almost defeated by them and killed all the way to the core area.
If the owner of the Black Ark changes to Levi later, then he will naturally be the one who has the headache, because he does not have so many troops.
For the time being, he did not have any good solution to the problem. If it was an invasion by a hostile army, he would naturally either crush them with superior forces or bombard them with a variety of battle magic to prevent the enemy from getting close.
But if a small number of elite troops were to attack immediately, such a large area would be impossible to defend.
Unless, we ask Lilith and other goddesses to help take some protective measures.
The gods worshipped by Malus here are Cain and others. If they were replaced by Lilith, Moonbow and Illidan, would there be some special effects?
But Levi soon had no energy to think about these things because Khalida's fleet arrived.
After receiving her order, her subordinates did not chase the fleeing dark elves, but rushed to meet them as soon as possible.
The mission of pursuit was all given to the heroes chosen by God.
Levi selectively opened a gap and let her fleet in. Inside the Black Ark, there were also multiple ports for parking warships.
Soon after, Sumi also came in with the few remaining water tribe soldiers.
In the first half of the war, she and her sisters suffered no losses.
But when they confronted the Black Ark, the situation took a turn for the worse. After a few battle magics, the sea was full of corpses.
Now, the total number of troops added together is less than four digits, which makes all of them look worried.
In order to repay Levi's kindness, they were indeed prepared to pay a price, but they never expected that the price would be so high that they didn't even have the chance to regret or hesitate.
Levi could only comfort her a little, saying that as long as they followed him, he would definitely not treat them unfairly.
Now that we have obtained the Black Ark , it is time to use people.
It just so happens that this special situation is very suitable for aquatic creatures like Sumi.
There is absolutely no shortage of monsters and battles in the ocean, and the Black Ark is undoubtedly a very stable and reliable rear base.
The only problem is that if Sumi makes a choice, their dependence on Levi will be very, very high.
If they still have ambitions and want to have their own town, it may not be easy to get the opportunity , because the Black Ark needs them as defenders all the time.
But that requires them to discuss and consider it carefully again. There are gains and losses, and Levi will not force them.
Then he cooperated with Khalida to deploy most of the troops to defensive positions.
Since he is not a dark elf and has not been recognized by the Dark Elf Witch King and Queen, Levi is temporarily unable to restore the Black Ark to normal movement, but in other aspects, there are almost no restrictions.
After all, he has officially occupied this place now.
However, Khalida's troops had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and now only about one-third of them were left, which was not enough to defend the Black Ark, which was so large.
The Black Ark can now accommodate 200,000 troops, and Khalida's troops only meet about 5% of the requirements.
Even after learning of Levi's needs, she immediately asked the priests to send a message to the city of Lahmia, asking the remaining priests to awaken the troops buried in the land of Lahmia as quickly as possible, but it still took some time.
So she temporarily mobilized the garrisons from other towns and asked them to rush over as soon as possible.
Levi was quite grateful for this, because it meant that her town would become weak for a short period of time.
As for the various Death Guards and Dragon Golems that Levi had spent so much time accumulating, even if he activated more than 90% of them on the spot, it would still be a drop in the bucket.
There is no way, the Black Ark is simply too large.
After a while, when Levi prioritized deploying his existing troops in some of the most important places, those deserters were chased away for a long distance.
The system officially reminded him that this massive naval battle was over. He had won another resounding victory and gained 3 legendary points.
Cindy, Elegy and others upgraded and became even stronger, but the one who gained the most was Donna.
Because after so many battles, she was finally promoted to a legendary hero.
She did not gain any additional attribute enhancements, but the bonuses to her health and mana based on her physique and intelligence were doubled again, and the enhancement to her life and magic cap became +100.
In this way, 1 point of her constitution can increase her health by 30 points. Combined with other bonuses and the enhancement of magic such as false life, she can easily exceed 500 points when entering battle.
As long as you don't encounter a particularly powerful enemy attack, your life safety can be guaranteed.
However, the system also reminded her that she had reached her current limit and needed to raise her combat level to 21 and become a legend before she could make further breakthroughs.
Yes, it's just possible.
Levi felt that in addition to level, talent, achievements, or passing certain trials might be required to upgrade the quality to legendary.
If you think about it, you can understand that for a scum like Evil Gall, although his level is legendary, his heroic quality is obviously not.
But Dragon Prince, Teclis, Black Arkhan, and even Khalida, they are definitely double legendaries as well.
Each of them is a well-known figure in the main world.
As for the loot, since the Black Ark was newly acquired by Malus, there wasn't much.
Levi no longer cares much about the equipment dropped by ordinary dark elves.
However, the equipment seized from Lunala was quite good, a legendary red armor, which was basically a super-powerful version of the Vanguard Shield in Alduin's hand.
In addition to strong defense, it also provides a variety of effects such as life limit, damage blocking and life recovery.
Levi naturally gave it to Elegy, who had the strongest melee ability on his side. Although Cindy also often charged into battle, she also had a variety of healing skills, so she didn't particularly need it.
Next is an epic Dark Frost Blade, which can attack with both dark and frost attributes at the same time, and has a chance to slow down the target.
Since it is a one-handed sword, it is not suitable for Elegy, and its dark attribute is not suitable for Alduin as a paladin, so Levi threw it to the magic swordsman Nochon.
Since changing his job, his upgrade speed has increased several times, and he has also demonstrated keen insight and certain command capabilities.
It can be expected that as long as he is trained for a period of time, he can also become one of Levi's generals.
An Amulet of Edreze, which has no attributes of its own, but only comes with one active skill - Strike of Edreze.
Edrezer is the Lord of Blades among the elven gods, and the Dragon Prince once had a good impression of him.
But he himself is not strong, he is just a weak god, and he does not have any powerful priesthood.
In addition, it is a chaotic camp and does not seem to have thought about vigorously developing the church, so its presence is very weak.
In fact, this is also the current situation of many weaker and more meager divine powers in the Chaos Camp.
Because they are limited by their own clergy, fields, backgrounds and many other aspects, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult for them to grow, so they simply give up.
The power that different priesthoods can provide, as well as the heights they can reach in the future, are really very different.
But this piece of equipment that bears his name is pretty good.
After activation, all attacks within 30 seconds will have armor breaking (-20 defense, lasts for 10 seconds), and the attack power will be increased by 20 points and the attack speed will be increased by 10%.
This positive and negative effect is basically equivalent to increasing the attack power by 40 points.
After thinking about it for a while, Levi handed it to Sonia.
Although this girl was once very discouraged after losing the legendary whip, she has become more diligent recently and has shown outstanding talent in swordsmanship and archery, which can be regarded as a small reward for her.
Although the others were not able to obtain equipment of this quality, they still had a lot of various gadgets and gold coins.
Levi was still very generous to his subordinates who performed outstandingly.
Whether it is purchasing equipment, recruiting soldiers, or simply leisure and entertainment, they do need a lot of gold coins.
After these things were settled, new information was also obtained from Khalida.
Some chosen heroes have scouted the situation in Dread Rock. The dark elves are fighting against some disgusting demons that are covered with green pus and explode when hit. They seem to be at a serious disadvantage.
In fact, when they heard this, the people who had rescued Lord Kroka with Levi before felt a little physically uncomfortable.
It is not difficult to kill those Nurgle demons. Their fighting power is not much stronger than other demons of the same level. The key is that the process is too disgusting.
In addition, a lot of the land on Fear Rock has turned green.
But what it represented was not the crispness of grass and trees, but rather it was full of corruption and ominousness, with even the air emitting a foul odor.
There are even occasional huge cysts on the ground. Once punctured, they will cause a small-scale plague infection to the surrounding troops, leading to corrosion and poisoning.
Hearing this, Levi, Khalida and others looked at each other and became more and more certain that the land there had obviously been corrupted by the Nurgle demons.
Although it is not known what kind of deal Malus and the Nurgle demons had made before, the two sides joined forces to wipe out the Lizardmen of the Spirit of Typok.
But now it was clear that at least one of the two parties no longer intended to keep its promise, so they went to war.
The question now is, what action will Levi and his team take? Will they just sit and wait for the fight to be over?
Just as Levi was discussing with Khalida, Michaela and others, suddenly, they all looked in the direction of the Fear Rock at the same time.
There, a completely white light descended from the sky. Even though they were far away, they could still feel the vast and boundless power, and there was also a vague sense of familiarity in it.
After a brief identification, Levi immediately confirmed: "It's the Lizardman's teleportation magic!"
Khalida was also a little surprised: "But on such a large scale...did they teleport an entire army?"
The Elegy next to him suddenly became excited: "They must want to take revenge on the dark elves!"
Although there are rumors that the spirits of Tibok are somewhat unruly and do not obey Mazda's orders, they are still part of the Lizardmen after all.
They were beaten like this, it was impossible for the Lizardmen not to react.
Furthermore, Lord Kroka is known as the incarnation of Tepok, so he must have some connection with the spirit of Tepok.
Whether in public or private, the Lizardman's revenge is a matter of course.
Similarly, this is also a very good opportunity for us.
The three-way melee is a time when the fisherman benefits from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.
As for the plague, Levi was not too worried, because the book on avoiding disasters in the nine volumes of Nagash was its natural nemesis!
After understanding this, almost everyone became excited.
However, someone is still needed on the Black Ark to wait for reinforcements from the city of Lahmia and the high elves.
In order to protect the Black Ark as much as possible, Levi has also sent out requests for help to the Dragon Prince and the Sea Dreamer through Michaela.
The main force of the Dragon Prince is still attacking Dragon Tooth Mountain, but it is still possible to separate a part of it to guard the Black Ark.
There is not much hope for the Sea Dreamers because they suffered a wave of losses before. Although that is not all their strength, they still have other tasks to undertake.
The Dragon Prince is attacking the dark elves, and he doesn't want pirates or other evil aliens to disturb them. This is what the Sea Dreamer needs to do.
Li Wei did not directly designate a candidate, but asked everyone to recommend themselves first.
So Alduin, who was always very silent and pragmatic, took the lead and stepped forward.
To be honest, Levi was somewhat surprised, because judging from the other party's character, his hatred for demons should be far greater than his disgust for filth.
Alduin shouldn't be afraid of the stench and filth of the Nurgle demons, right?
But Levi soon realized that he was wrong. Alduin actually had other plans. He wanted to bring all the dragonborn from his hometown over.
The Island of Bronze Dragons is about 50 miles away from the Bitao Village under Levi's command, so it is not particularly far from here.
Originally, they were relatively safe thanks to the protection of the level 15 bronze dragon hero on the island and the high elves.
But after following Levi and experiencing this series of battles, Alduin is not so stupid anymore.
Apart from anything else, if Malus attacked with the Black Ark, even if the high elves wanted to shelter them, they would probably not be able to do anything in time.
In his opinion, the best and safest way at the moment is naturally to join Levi's team directly.
But he was not particularly good at speaking, and he did not want to deceive his own people, so he needed to learn more about the Black Ark first, and then think about what to say.
Levi naturally strongly agreed with this. The average strength and potential of the dragon race are far superior to those of ordinary humans or elves.
But he didn't expect much from what Alduin did.
They have been living near the colony for so long, but have not been recruited by the Dragon Prince. Obviously there are some special reasons.
As far as he knew, the relationship between the dragon gods and the elven gods had never been good.
The decline of the dragon pantheon seemed to be vaguely related to the elven gods...
But there is no need to pour cold water on him at this time, just let him do his best.
Next is Alyssa. Her personal combat ability is not outstanding, but she excels in command and logistics. Currently, she is more needed on the Black Ark.
Then Michaela, Sally, Sefa and others also spoke up, saying that they did not want to deal with the Nurgle demons.
Levi could fully understand it, because fire mages like them were indeed not suitable to go.
Nurgle demons already have a foul odor, and when heated by fire magic, the odor often becomes even stronger...
Likewise, melee units are ill-suited to fighting Nurgle Daemons.
So after a little discussion, Levi finally only brought Elegy, Cindy and Maltis.
He didn't even plan to bring the air force led by Donna and Kerillian. Donna would work with Luna to take on the patrol and guard tasks.
Even if he wanted to take advantage of the situation on Fear Rock, he had to prioritize the Black Ark.
Moreover, he didn't go there to kill all the enemies this time, and they didn't have the ability to do so.
According to intelligence, Malus still has 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops on Dreadrock, and there are even more Nurgle demons, which is simply a disaster.
Therefore, it is better to let our main force stay in the Black Ark to prevent any possible enemy raids.
In fact, he didn't even want to bring Elegy and the others with him, but there was nothing he could do. They insisted on fighting alongside him, so he could only let them do as they pleased.
As for Khalida, she also decided to take some generals and priests with her to fight together. The mummy's tolerance for smells is very high.
However, this time, in order to protect the Black Ark, they don't have many troops to command. This will be a very elite assault team of less than 20 people.
I just don't know how many chances Malus, the Nurgle demons and the Lizardmen can give them?
