Volume 4 Chapter 473: Receiving the Fear Rock
Things went even more smoothly than Levi had expected. When they entered the town, they did not encounter any decent resistance at all because there were no defenders in the town.
It is not known how fierce the battle was between the Dark Elves, Nurgle Demons and Lizardmen, but the troops that tried to rescue Malus might really be the last troops of the Dark Elves.
This resulted in Levi gaining a new title just a few minutes after entering the city - Lord of Fear Rock. The whole process went incredibly smoothly.
But Levi was undoubtedly very satisfied, because the Fear Rock, which had been developed by the Lizardmen for hundreds of years, was also a real city.
In addition to basic buildings such as blacksmiths and taverns, Dread Rock also has a large number of resource buildings, including sawmills, mines, crystal mines, mercury refining rooms, etc.
Even if you only sell resources, you can earn dozens of gold coins every day.
But compared with the many special buildings of the Lizardmen themselves, they seem so insignificant.
The spirit of Taibok is very good at taming dinosaurs. They have carnivorous, herbivorous, flying, running, and swimming dinosaurs.
And there are quite a lot of them, more than 20 different types of dinosaur nests.
From then on, Levi could recruit four types of land dinosaurs alone: Salamander, Spinosaurus, Wild Triceratops, and Wild Ankylosaur.
Among them, the salamander is an amphibious, swamp-like dinosaur similar to a crocodile.
They are born with a special kind of corrosive mucus that, when sprayed out of the esophagus and in contact with the air, will catch fire within a few seconds.
Therefore, the salamander is one of the few dinosaurs that can eat cooked meat solely by its own ability.
The remaining ones who can do this are basically sub-dragons with red dragon bloodline.
But their shortcomings are also very obvious. This attack, which is essentially similar to spitting, can basically only reach a few dozen meters.
The Spinosaurus looked like some oversized porcupines, with dense bone spurs covered all over its body. They could not only be used to intimidate the enemy, but could also be fired like arrows.
Although their accuracy is not very good, they have enough thorns and their regeneration speed is very fast, so when the number increases to a certain level, the power is still very good.
Their biggest flaw, like that of the Salamander, is probably their relatively short range.
No matter how strong their muscles are, the bone spurs they fire are far inferior to those of bows and crossbows or muskets.
As far as Levi knows, the strongest Spinosaurus can hit a target 120 meters away.
But the maximum range of an ordinary Spinosaurus is basically only about 100 meters, and usually after 60 meters, the accuracy is not very good.
For Levi, a high elf , if the same number of troops were fighting on the plains, he could easily kill them without any injuries with his archers.
But in areas with more jungles like Fear Rock, they can be barely used.
In many more complex terrains, it is not suitable for ordinary archers to shoot, but these two types of dinosaurs can often launch attacks more easily due to their own talents.
And their production is also very good. As a tier 4 troop, each building produces about 10-15 heads per week. There are a total of 4 related buildings here, which means about 50 heads per week.
Levi planned to put them all into the patrol team to be careful of attacks by salamanders and not to cause any forest fires.
Next is the Triceratops, which is the highlight.
As a level 5 dinosaur, with a thick crest and giant spear-like horns on its head, and bony scales and spikes protecting its body, it has few rivals in the jungle.
They have thick skin and flesh, are very resistant to blows, and have strong charging abilities, but they are also relatively docile in temperament and generally do not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Of course, if they really encounter trouble, they will definitely not be afraid of it.
More importantly, they have a natural desire to protect small humanoid creatures, which makes them very suitable as mounts and magical pets.
The lizard people are accustomed to placing a huge platform on the back of the Triceratops, which can usually carry a dozen or twenty spirit lizards, or placing crossbows or something like that, using them as mobile war machines. Levi also plans to do this.
The only thing is that their output is a little low. There are a total of 3 related buildings, but they can only produce 12 Triceratops per week. It will obviously take some time to truly achieve scale.
Next is the Ankylosaurus, a level 3 war beast.
Does it sound a bit outrageous? Because other war beasts are at least level 5.
For example, giants or sphinxes are at level 6 or 7, which is normal.
With only a level 3 skill, you dare to call yourself a war beast?
In fact, compared with other war beasts, the Ankylosaurus is indeed completely defeated in terms of attack power and skills.
Especially in terms of speed, it would be an exaggeration to say that they are terrestrial turtles, but they are indeed slow in both attack speed and movement speed.
Apart from the tail hammer, there is basically no other way to attack.
But it is indeed listed as a war beast and is recognized by many God-chosen heroes.
Because its defense is the best among the 4th-level meat shields, it has a bony shell, steel-like scales, and thick hard skin, at least three layers of defense, and a health value of nearly 500.
For some elite or mutant ankylosaurs, their defense and health may be further enhanced.
Based on these data alone, even if it stood still and allowed other soldiers of the same level to attack it, the opponent would not know how much time it would take to completely kill it.
At the same time, because the class is very low, the output of God-given buildings is very high.
There are now 6 God-given buildings here, which can produce hundreds of heads every week.
It is unlikely that they can be used as the main force, but as cannon fodder, there are few more cost-effective and good-quality animals than those who can survive by eating only grass.
If they were not like most dinosaurs, which would easily go crazy when seeing blood or getting injured, Levi felt that their value would be even higher.
But if you are acting as cannon fodder acting as a meat shield, going crazy is not a big problem.
Of course, while having such outstanding features, they also have some obvious weaknesses.
The first is the speed, which is pitifully slow. Although it is almost impossible for enemies of the same level to kill them in a short period of time, they can completely bypass them.
Moreover, mages, archers, and some skilled thieves or warriors can kill them without any injury.
The second problem is the difficulty of recruitment. Basically, they can only be recruited from Lizardmen, and Lizardmen are notoriously difficult to deal with.
If you catch an ankylosaur in the wild, it really depends on luck.
But for Levi now, this is no longer a problem.
Finally, there are the costs of recruitment fees, daily food, and the issue of Ankylosaur's eating.
Although it is nominally a Tier 3 unit, the recruitment cost of Ankylosaurs is also on the high side among Tier 4 units, and they are really good eaters.
The average ankylosaur weighs more than 3 tons. After upgrading, its size and weight will further expand, and the larger ones can weigh 4-5 tons.
They can eat food equivalent to a quarter of their body weight every day, which is about two thousand kilograms.
They are herbivorous dinosaurs, and how much weight can ordinary plants and trees have? This directly leads to the fact that they spend most of their day eating.
The unit price of grass is very low, but the total amount is too large, so the price is still not cheap, and it will undoubtedly be a huge test for the capacity of the space ring.
If they were grazing in the wild, if there were dozens of ankylosaurs, the nearby grassland would probably have been eaten up the next day.
However, for Levi, this is not a big problem either.
The Spirit of Tibok has specialized in taming dinosaurs for hundreds of years, so naturally, he had already figured out how to overcome these weaknesses.
There are three special buildings here, dedicated to servicing various dinosaurs.
The first one is the magic garden. Although it is called a garden, it is actually a large grassland planted with special magic grass.
They have no other use except to serve as food, and one is worth a hundred.
If an Ankylosaurus eats ordinary grass, he may need two thousand kilograms a day, but if he eats this magical grass, twenty kilograms will be enough, which will undoubtedly save a lot of eating time.
Next was the insect farm. Levi went to take a look in person. Under the huge sealed dome, there was a deafening sound of flapping wings, like a whistle.
The insects inside are all giant, ranging from one foot in size to over a meter in size.
There are many strange species , but basically they are not aggressive and only care about growing taller and gaining meat. They are cultivated as food.
Herbivorous dinosaurs such as Ankylosaur and Triceratops usually feed mainly on plants and trees, but they also don't mind eating some small insects in the grass to supplement their protein.
The Spirit of Typok specifically created these giant insects and stuffed them into the grass.
With the basically non-existent intelligence of the Ankylosaurs, they could not tell the difference between the two, which could further reduce their daily eating time.
The nutritional value of giant insects is undoubtedly much higher than that of ordinary plants.
The smarter Triceratops could see that, but they didn't care.
The price is that these two special buildings require continuous input of various elemental crystals in order to function normally.
Otherwise, their catalytic effect on magic grass and giant insects would be severely limited.
In short, this means spending money in exchange for the ankylosaurs spending less time eating and more time fighting.
This is not a big problem for Levi.
Although the Lizardmen have almost no desire for money, they do not deliberately collect gold coins, etc., and the warehouse in Dread Rock only has a few thousand units of meat, insects, plants, etc.
But he is not really short of money now. If he has no money, he can just sell some Death Guards.
Besides, the wealthy woman Khalida is right next to him. If he really needs money, he can just ask her.
Finally, there is the beef cattle ranch. As the name suggests, this is a place dedicated to raising cattle, which is used to feed many carnivorous dinosaurs.
Next is the Pterosaur Hatchery and the Rhacophorus Hatchery.
Pterosaurs themselves are very fragile and have almost no advantages except their speed.
But with a little training, they can become flying mounts.
However, in addition to the high skill requirements for the rider, the rider's weight is also crucial because pterosaurs are too weak.
If they want to maintain normal flying ability, they can basically only carry less than 150 kilograms of weight.
In addition, the rider will also carry weapons, armor, etc., which requires the rider himself to be very light.
Before, the lizardmen only used small skinny lizards to control pterosaurs, and then carried simple blowguns, javelins, or slings to act as scouts and messengers, etc.
Skin lizards are much thinner than ordinary humans, and basically weigh less than 100 pounds, which is just right for pterosaurs.
For Levi, he can basically only choose slim female elves, and not those with too good figures.
Of course, pterosaurs also have stronger subspecies. If they evolve into Quetzalcoatlus with a wingspan of nearly 15 meters after many battles, their carrying capacity will naturally increase sharply.
Levi plans to hand them all over to Kerillian. She has now gradually become the air force commander and Donna's deputy. It is time to expand the force.
Compared with pterosaurs, the combat effectiveness of Rhacophorus is obviously much stronger, but for Levi, there is not much difference in their value, and the Rhacophorus may even be lower.
Because the beaked dragons are too aggressive, once they find an enemy, they will immediately pounce on the enemy and try to tear the enemy's body with their razor-sharp claws .
They are undoubtedly very useful when bullying weak enemies or chasing them, but once they encounter a strong enemy, they will all die quickly, and even the riders on their backs will die with them.
Even the lizard people who specialized in taming dinosaurs found it difficult to change their habits, let alone other races.
Therefore, in Levi's opinion, this type of soldier is destined to not have very high training value.
Because he has worked hard for three years to cultivate it, but it may all be destroyed in five minutes on the battlefield.
Finally, there are several buildings bestowed by the dark elves.
After Malus captured the Dread Rock, not only were the Lizardmen's buildings preserved, but the Dark Elves also built several new ones. It seemed that they had decided to develop here for a long time.
However, they probably had never expected that Kuga, the Dragon Prince, Levi and others would react so quickly, which resulted in the final winner - Levi - getting the upper hand.
The divine buildings include a recruiting hall where you can recruit Dread Spearmen, Dark Swordsmen and Black Crossbowmen.
Due to conflicts between factions and races, these three basic types of dark elves' troops are not particularly meaningful to Levi.
Then there is the messenger shack where the Dark Riders are recruited.
From the name of the building, we can tell how weak these Tier 3 cavalry are. They are even obviously weaker than the High Elves' Tier 3 cavalry - the Arion Cavalry.
The only advantage may be that after a certain amount of training or advancement, they can get a hand crossbow or a repeating crossbow and become special rangers.
But if they encounter the Arion pillagers armed with bows and arrows, they will still be beaten up because of the difference in range.
Next are the Harpy Roost and Bird Pavilion, which can summon Harpies and Harpy Wind Wizards and Lightning Wizards.
They are all somewhat useful, but not very useful soldiers, so Levi decided to incorporate them all into scouts.
The area of Fear Rock is so large that even with his current strength, he can only barely control the area near the town in a short period of time. The demand for scouts will undoubtedly be very great.
Finally, there are several Cold One Caves and Cold One Knight Training Schools, the former producing 24 per week and the latter 15.
How to say it, these two types of troops are not outstanding among their kind, but just like French units, the value of cavalry troops is still relatively high.
And if worst comes to worst, Levi can try to throw them all to Maltis.
She is a good cavalry commander, but she is still a commander without troops. Fortunately, she has a large number of troops, so it is time to give her a chance.
After reading this, Levi immediately started to build a portal, intending to summon the Gaiding people first.
According to their previous agreement, every time Levi captured a town or village, they would send corresponding garrisons, and now was the time.
Moreover, he also intended to show it to the Messenger of Mercy.
This really worked. After asking, the Merciful Messenger immediately stated that what the Gaiding Celestial Clan could do, they at the Seventh Heaven Mountain could also do, and they could do it even better!
But Levi certainly couldn't let the other party pay in vain, as that would be detrimental to the long-term relationship between the two parties. He also paid some elemental crystals and gold coins as a price and signed a large-scale employment contract with the other party.
It was roughly the same as the one signed with the Gaidin Clan before, except that the troops were replaced with Yakong, and the types and scales were more numerous and larger.
At the same time, the Messenger of Mercy also allowed Levi to obtain their summoning authority. As the Lord of Golden Heaven, his military force was still very sufficient.
According to the summoning abilities Levi currently possesses, each town under his command can summon 50 of each of the six elemental sub-sonics: earth, fire, water, wind, light, and ice, and 100 of the legion sub-sonics.
Their strength is generally low, basically all at level 3, pure cannon fodder.
Next are the main combat forces, Storm, Clay, Crystal, Ice and Flame, and their strength is much stronger.
There are also many subspecies, for example, the Flame Sub-Aerial includes Ash Followers, Flame Steelers and Ember Guardians, etc.
They use boxing gloves, scimitars and giant axes as weapons respectively. Their strength ranges from level 4 to level 5, and their skills are also different.
The Ice Sub-Aerial includes Frosthammers, Haillashers and Frostshapers, etc. Their offensive power is relatively weak, but the power of frost can often slow down or freeze the enemy.
Other storms, clay, crystals, etc. are all in similar situations. Overall, there are still quite a few types.
When commanding them, how to make them cooperate with each other and maximize their strength will be a severe test for the commander.
The Messenger of Mercy was very generous and allowed him to summon dozens of each type, with a total number of more than 500. They would become the most important protective force of the town.
Then there are some Holy Light, Overwatch, Guard and Night Owl Archons. There are not many of them, but they are all relatively functional.
In addition, there are two new species of sub-space.
The first is the Level 5 Hard Shield Yakon, a small giant covered in heavy armor and more than 3 meters tall. They are born for war and guarding.
This is not an adjective, but simply a description of the facts.
It has three unique skills, the first one is called Spear and Shield.
They can transform their arms into spears or shields relatively freely. Yes, they are Archons, but they are also powerful weapons of war.
But they cannot turn both hands into a spear or a shield at the same time.
Next is Stability, which treats their weight as doubled when fighting against enemy knockback or knock-up effects.
Finally, there is magic - castling.
Its effect is exactly the same as the magic of the same name mastered by Levi. With this ability, Solid Shield Yakong will undoubtedly become a very qualified guard.
That is, when they use this trick, there is a limit on the number of times they can use it, up to 3 times a day.
But despite this, they are undoubtedly still very qualified guards. Levi is even considering whether he should find an opportunity to ask the Messenger of Mercy to grant this summoning authority to mages such as Sefa and Sally.
Next is the Justice Archon, who is also at level 5. Holding two-handed swords and wearing heavy armor, they are basically equivalent to holy warriors and are specialized in fighting against all kinds of evil.
Compared with real paladins, they know relatively fewer spells, but they can fly, which is their biggest advantage.
In addition, the Messenger of Mercy also said that he would go back and select a few suitable commanders for these hundreds of Yakons. Levi naturally expressed his gratitude with a smile.
After confirming these, Levi discussed with the Messenger of Mercy, and then began to contact the other side, asking the Yakons to transport all the unconscious guys here.
The Messenger of Mercy began to build a larger-scale magic circle in the city to facilitate Levi's subsequent purification.
After finishing all this, he also handed over all the relevant materials and information for building the teleportation array to Levi, allowing Levi to arrange them himself later.
As a lord of Mount Paradise, he previously responded to Levi's call and fought against demons.
But now that the battle is over, it is not appropriate for him to stay any longer. This is based on certain rules set by the gods.
Although so many years have passed, and in fact even the gods themselves are secretly violating the rules, it is best not to violate them if you can avoid it.
Because he not only represents himself, but also the entire Paradise Mountain.
Levi understood this, and this was also the result he wanted to see most, because he could completely use the teleportation array in the Twin Moon World.
The other one leads to the city of Ostak, and then allows Lisadilan, Nar and others to transport troops from the Underdark.
Even the Sun Knight, Cai Jin and others could help a little.
While Levi was busy all day long, they were also constantly expanding their territory in the Underdark, fighting against various evil races, and their power had increased significantly.
So now there is only one last question left, did Shenzhu, the light dragon of the Zhendan pantheon, go to Mount Tiantang before he disappeared?
Faced with this question, the Messenger of Mercy looked solemn and said, "That is true, but she only communicated with the Watchers in person. Even I don't know the secrets."
So if you want to get the truth, you still have to go find the Watcher?
But as the boss of Paradise Mountain, he can't even see the Messenger of Mercy easily. With Levi's current strength, he is not qualified to summon him.
Therefore, we must continue to become stronger.
After the Messenger of Mercy left, Levi began to sort out the equipment and other spoils obtained from the battle.
He basically doesn't care about the things dropped by ordinary Nurgle demons and dark elves.
The Great Unclean Ones of Nurgle contributed some machetes, but they were essentially just epic-level weapons that required very high strength. They were also evil weapons that required him to purify them before they could be used.
In addition, they are so big that Levi feels that unless they are giants 10 meters tall, they can't be used by others at all.
Yes, as epic weapons, they cannot change size freely, which is outrageous.
Then most of the items they dropped were things that enhanced plague or poison, and in keeping with the characteristics of Nurgle, they were usually very disgusting in appearance, so Levi and the others would definitely not use them.
So after all this time, in the end, there was only one epic Ring of Eternal Conqueror, which was considered to be a relatively valuable item.
In addition to enhancing fear resistance, it does not provide any attribute bonus, and it only has one passive skill - Eternal Conqueror.
Restores 10 health points per second until the health is full or the daily limit of 10,000 points is reached, and there are no usage requirements.
Simple and crude, but undoubtedly very powerful, and so versatile that Levi even didn't know who to give it to for a moment.
After thinking about it, he felt that this thing could perhaps be handed over to the little female dragon. After all, it would be a waste of her talent for her to only specialize in mist magic.
With the encouragement of this equipment, she should be able to participate in the battle more bravely, right?
Malus's guard captain, Hillal, although his combat power was not very strong, he was also very generous and left behind three pieces of epic equipment.
A long sword of the captain of the guard. In addition to its decent attributes, it also comes with a skill - Guard. When there are other friendly hero units in range, the defense and magic resistance are increased. After active activation, the defense can be further improved.
A shield of Hag Grave, this special name is the name of Malus's hometown.
Similar to the Dragon Prince, his territory here is actually an overseas colony.
So even though he suffered heavy losses this time, he is not at the end of his rope.
In addition to its good defensive capabilities, the shield also comes with a passive skill - Crush. When used as a weapon to hit the enemy, it can cause higher damage and knockback effects.
Levi decided to give them all to the magic swordsman - Nochon.
If he could only be considered good before becoming a hero, he could be considered excellent after changing his job and deserves further encouragement.
The last one is a black amulet, inlaid with a mysterious gem that sparkles like midnight, which increases defense and magic resistance by 15 points.
It is considered a very powerful accessory, but unfortunately it has requirements for strength and physique, which means it can basically only be used by high-level warriors. Levi gave it to Maltis.
Now coupled with her own frost power, she definitely has no lack of survivability.
Malus kept the Cain Dimension Sword, a legendary equipment.
Unfortunately, this thing is not only limited to certain races, only dark elves can equip it, and it must be personally approved by Cain, otherwise even the specific attributes cannot be seen...
Levi really didn't expect that Kane, who looked like a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually had such a stingy side.
In order to avoid being picked on by the other party, Levi could only give it to Lilith later. After all, Malus could barely be considered Kane's chosen one.
The reason why it is said to be reluctant is that although Cain took care of the dark elves and became their main god, he actually did not particularly care about the life and death of the dark elves.
He just wanted more blood and death, and the dark elves happened to be able to give him that.
As a typical evil god of the chaotic evil camp, even if Malus got a weapon named after him, it is not certain how much Cain really likes Malus.
At least, neither Levi, the Messenger of Mercy, nor Elegy could sense the presence of divinity from Malus.
But no matter what, Levi felt it was worth it to use a weapon that he couldn't use temporarily to avoid Kane's possible revenge.
After he had sorted these out, Khalida also walked over and said, "Levi, I have issued orders to the chosen heroes according to your needs."
"They did find some Nurgle demons and are currently encircling and suppressing them, but they did not leave any prisoners. The slaves handed over by Malus seem to have been used as sacrifices."
Levi nodded. He was not surprised by this because the departure of the Messenger of Mercy itself represented some information.
He may have sensed in some way that those people could no longer be saved. It was probably because time had dragged on too long. After all, Malus certainly did not just hand over the slaves to the Nurgle demons.
He was about to say something when Cindy came over with Faith.
As soon as Levi saw Fei Shi’s sad face, he knew that he probably wouldn’t gain anything.
Cindy spoke first: "Brother Levi, according to your instructions, we rescued about 800 slaves. Most of them are from Obian and are willing to join us, but we did not find any fishmen."
Levi turned to look at Fei Shi and saw that her expression became more and more miserable.
In today's battle, his Murloc and Naga troops suffered heavy losses, and now only less than 20% are left. As a result, the mission failed. It was really unlucky.
The only and greatest achievement may be that I have reconnected with Levi and deepened our relationship with each other. This is a blessing in disguise.
But Levi had no choice. He didn't have any extra troops on hand, and almost all of his Death Guards and Dragon Golems had been used up.
Even gold coins cannot be given to the other party. After all, both the Black Ark and the Fear Rock require a large amount of resources to rebuild and repair.
So after comforting the other person, he could only give the other person a house and invite the other person to visit him often in the future.
Fei Shi did not refuse. Apart from anything else, the black Ark in Levi's hand was enough to make him greet her with a smile.
Anyone who has been on the sea knows how terrifying the Black Ark is.
Even at this point, he took the initiative to propose to leave some Nagas to Levi.
Levi naturally accepted it with a smile. The area of Fear Rock was very large, at least several thousand square kilometers, and there were too many areas available for landing.
Not to mention complete control, even an ordinary patrol team would require at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of people.
It is foreseeable that for a considerable period of time, he may only be able to control the city itself.
So now his attitude to anything that is not available is the same: the more, the better.
So he had 50 more Naga thugs and 20 Naga royal guards under his command.
Although the number is small, all of them are elite, which shows Fei Shi's sincerity.
After seeing off Fei Shi, Levi saw Martis walking towards him with a rare smile on his face.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "She woke up? How is the situation?"
No one knew whether it was because Illidan was too strong or he used some special technique or power, but Lunala remained in a coma. Even when Maltis changed her clothes, she didn't feel anything at all.
Looking at Martis's appearance now, there should be some changes.
"At first she tried to resist, then she tried to run away, but now she is in a daze, and I think the situation is much better than we expected."
As soon as Levi saw Martis smiling so brightly, he knew that Lunala had probably been badly beaten by her.
It goes without saying that if Lunala, as a dark elf, was not powerless, she would never surrender so easily.
"Well, let me try to persuade her!"
