Volume 4 Chapter 491: Phantom Assassin
Although it was for revenge, due to distance and time reasons, in order to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, Levi still chose to use magic to teleport.
This means that the number of accompanying conventional troops is destined to be not too large.
Needless to say, Penthesilea will be on her first journey for Levi as this will be her first battle for him. She is also the strongest fighter on her side, so she must go along.
Next came Elegy, Cindy, Maltis, Sefa, Sally, two little female dragons, and Donna, Luna and Kerillian, each with a few guards.
Others such as Alduin, Alyssa, Lunala and others will stay in the Black Ark and Terror Rock.
Sonia also rarely traveled with her good sister Sefa.
On the one hand, it was because she had finally found her favorite way of fighting, which was the bow and arrow, and it just so happened that Fear Rock also needed a commander in this field to stay behind.
On the other hand, her family got in touch with her again and sent people to Fear Rock.
Levi hasn't asked about the details, but seeing her mysterious look, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
Combining the two factors, when Sonia proposed to stay, Levi readily agreed.
Despite the secret advice of the blood elf heroes, Kayle still chose to go with Levi. He had nothing to do in Dreadrock anyway, so he might as well go out and gain some experience.
Although the heroes were helpless, they had no choice but to obey and accompany them as guards.
At the end of the day, they are just subordinates who can offer suggestions or opinions, but they cannot really make decisions for Kyle.
This made Levi completely understand that as long as he could get Kyle to go with him, he would get some free cannon fodder every time.
Although these heroes are generally not of high levels, they can still play a certain role with the help of equipment.
As for the army, Levi also chose the strongest lineup, including King Kong, mountain giants, hybrid giants, and multi-headed feathered serpents equipped with metal weapons and armor, and then some auxiliary units such as priests and druids.
Their total number this time is only over a hundred, but their fighting power should not be underestimated.
And because Levi's summoning spells have become increasingly powerful, Sefa and Sally have also obtained some of the summoning authority granted by the Messenger of Mercy.
In addition, everyone has a large number of unactivated Death Guards in their space rings. As long as the war requires, their total strength can be increased several times at any time.
It is also worth mentioning that early in the morning, Lunala ran over excitedly to report to Levi, saying that the Black Ark suddenly became normal, as if the restrictions imposed by the Witch King on it had completely disappeared.
Although this is extremely incredible and has never happened in history, it is undoubtedly a great thing for them.
From now on, as long as Levi prepares sufficient troops and energy, the Black Ark can truly travel the world, instead of being placed in the port as an oversized decoration.
Levi knew very well that it must be Lilith who had been here. With her strength, it would be impossible for Lunala to detect it.
But this is indeed a good thing. As long as he has enough troops, he may be able to send it out to do something.
For example, march eastward.
The Snake People and the Nibon People come out to act as pirates every day, so he can turn around and cause trouble for them.
The internal structure of these two forces is not monolithic. As long as you do not openly declare war on them collectively, but choose to take sides or support agents, there is a great possibility that you will successfully participate.
Even if the gods behind them know that this is a plot, the mortals who think they are smart will always be unable to resist trying to take advantage of the situation.
If the looting behavior is turned into an internal dispute, the impact of the matter will be much smaller.
Since it was not clear how much time it would take, and Levi also intended to successfully visit the Tomb Kings around the destination and the wood elves in the Orion Camp, Levi gave Alyssa and the others a few more instructions.
During his absence, the main focus is on defense. If a powerful enemy really invades, in addition to sending him intelligence, you can also ask for help from the Twin Moon World and Ostak City.
Thanks to the Messenger of Mercy, both places have now established stable teleportation arrays with the Dread Rock, making it very convenient to support each other.
Furthermore, God-chosen heroes such as the Sun Knight and even the Shield Dwarves of the Underdark can also send out a certain amount of troops.
If that still doesn't work, there are Kalida and the Dragon Prince on the other side watching over and helping. In short, even if Levi is away for a short time, the defense of Fear Rock will not have any major problems.
As the troops were about to set off, the fleet patrolling at sea reported that a new visitor had arrived, who claimed to have received Illidan's orders and came to serve Levi.
Levi immediately knew that this should be the assassin that Illidan had mentioned before.
A few minutes later, a dozen or so female night elves with slim figures and unique attire gradually came into view.
The leader was wearing green armor and a cloak. On the edge of the cloak were a series of crescent-shaped blades. It didn't look like a mere decoration.
Under the owl-shaped helmet, in addition to a pair of lavender lips, there are also sharp and determined eyes.
Next is the long ponytail, a pair of small wing-like decorations behind the shoulders, and a ring with a diameter of about half a meter and full of sharp blades in the hand.
The troops behind her were wearing uniform light armor and throwing blades that were almost like a full moon.
But unlike the female hunters under Luna, there was a little moonlight floating in the middle of their weapons, and they did not carry any spare flying blades.
This seems to indicate that their weapons are very special.
Luna behind him said with a little surprise : "Sir, it is the Phantom Assassin - Mortidi, and her Watcher troops."
Luna quickly explained to Levi that the Watchers were a special force of the night elves.
In addition to being prison guards, they are also responsible for chasing, hunting and sealing various evil creatures, including but not limited to ratmen, greenskins, demons and devils, etc.
They have the characteristics of both a huntress and an assassin, a combination of strength and agility, and can often easily blend into their surroundings.
The weapon in his hand has also been specially forged and is now blessed by the Moon Bow Goddess.
After consuming a small amount of magic, a magic blade will fly out with each swing, so they don't need to carry too many spare weapons with them.
If they fight at night or in a moonlit environment, their strength will be further enhanced.
The Phantom Assassin - Mortidi Shadowsong, comes from the clan of the Jailer Shadowsong.
She abandoned the moon-shaped flying blade and instead specialized in close combat. In a very short period of time, she became an outstanding assassin, unique in the entire night elf race.
It's not just because of her family heritage, she is also very hardworking, and more importantly, she is extremely talented and she even has spatial abilities.
The space spells that mages often use on the battlefield are usually the 4th-level Magic Door. The more unusual one might be the King's Rook Castling that Levi and the Shield Archons have mastered.
The next possibility is the 3rd-level magic flash, which flashes back and forth between the main world and the other dimension at the cost of reducing one's own spellcasting ability. The enemy's attack will therefore have a greater chance of failure.
But for ordinary wizards, these magics require casting time.
But Mortidi's Flash Strike is truly instant, with no signs beforehand.
Moreover, after appearing, the special force of space will greatly enhance her attack speed in a short period of time.
In addition, she can throw a suffocating blade dagger with a slowing poison, and the flying knives under her cloak can be launched to form a whirlwind of knife formations.
And because she specializes in assassination and is good at attacking weak points, her normal attacks have a very high critical hit rate.
This means that even though her level is not very high, less than level 15, her success rate in many past pursuit and arrest missions is 100%.
Not only could ordinary enemies not outrun her, they couldn't even defeat her.
After hearing this, not only Levi was very interested in her, but Elegy and others were also very interested in her, because she was exactly the assassin-type unit that their side lacked the most.
Luna's job is a sentinel, not an assassin.
The strength of the Rat Masters is too low. Once they are discovered by the enemy, the enemy can easily kill them .
The shadow elements are powerful enough, but except for the summoner Levi, who can communicate relatively smoothly, others can basically not communicate normally with them.
Moreover, their wisdom and ability to respond to emergencies are not very good.
So no matter from which perspective, they really need talents like Mocuiti.
The only thing that puzzled Levi was why Illidan had shown such a smug expression before?
Mortidi's power and honor were all earned by her own efforts, and had nothing to do with him, who was lying dead somewhere before. It was unlikely that he would feel proud and proud of her power.
Could it be that he had a grudge against her? Was he considering sending her to him as a disguised form of exile?
But there is an unknown age difference between the two of them. Even if the Demon Hunter doesn't look like a good person, Mortidi wouldn't be stupid enough to offend him, right?
After thinking about it, Levi could only conclude that there might be someone among Mortiti's ancestors who had a conflict with Illidan.
The other party may have turned into ashes now, but Illidan is still a god and can command the other party's descendants at will. It is understandable that he is a little proud.
The leader of the night elf watchers, the Jailer, is a family-inherited position. We can go back and check whether this special family of Shadowsong has produced any powerful beings that Illidan still remembers.
However, Illidan shouldn't be that petty.
Besides being part of the deal, he probably also felt that following Levi would allow her to better unleash her power.
Moreover, her profession is a phantom assassin, and what she is about to look for is the lost property of the phantom goddess Leila. How could this be just a simple coincidence?
But Lilith didn't say anything before, so we can only say that these two guys are all riddlers.
As he spoke, Mortiti had already brought the watchers to Levi's front, placed one hand on his chest and saluted him.
"By order of the patron saint of the night elves, Mortidi swears allegiance to Lord Levi Goethe from now on."
The other elves following behind her naturally did the same thing.
Levi raised his eyebrows secretly. When he heard this and looked at her actions, he knew that the other party was probably still somewhat unwilling.
He was getting along well in the tribe, but then he was sent out to work for a group of high elves he had never met before. Anyone would be angry.
Even though Levi is now considered a well-known figure, Mortiti is not just a common soldier and she also has her own pride.
But that doesn't matter. As long as she is willing to work for him sincerely, there are plenty of opportunities and ways to completely convince her.
Because she is just an outstanding young talent, not an old and powerful person, while Levi is a 19th-level wizard and the prince of Caledor.
So he didn't show it on his face, but said enthusiastically: "You have come a long way, thank you for your hard work, your strength will definitely not be wasted."
As he said this, he quickly looked at the other party's attribute panel.
Currently, Mortiti's level is 14/3. From such a low battle level, it can be seen that she does not like commanding troops, but prefers single-person assassination or carrying out missions as a team.
In terms of attributes, she is mainly agile, supplemented by strength, and her physique and intelligence are relatively low.
Even with the bonus of an epic hero, the upper limit of health is less than 300, and the defense and magic resistance are also very ordinary.
It can be said that in a large-scale battlefield, she would be seriously injured if she was hit by a few area magic spells.
But these shortcomings are not enough to cover up her advantages. In addition to a lot of skills related to reconnaissance, stealth and assassination, as well as the skills Luna just mentioned, she also has two special skills.
The blurred phantom can make her figure difficult to see clearly. Even if she stands still, the enemy's attack will have a high chance of missing. This is essentially a partial application of her power of space.
Next is a super powerful skill that even Luna doesn't fully understand - the gift of liberation.
As her level increases, her normal physical attacks will cause more damage when a critical hit occurs. Currently, she is level 14 and the multiplier is 3.5 times.
When he saw this, Levi was a little surprised.
If she were equipped with some good equipment, and her flash and sneak attacks enhanced her attack speed, if she was lucky enough, a tank-type warrior of the same level would probably not be able to hold on for a few seconds, right?
She is really fragile, but her output is also really high, a typical glass cannon. But if she can be combined with the phantom divinity...
Leila's attack power is at the bottom among all the gods, but her phantom power is undoubtedly very strong, whether for assistance or survival.
After asking a few more questions about the journey, Levi took out a bunch of equipment from his space ring and handed it to her.
Apart from the weapon called Wheel of Judgment in her hand and the epic watcher's cloak, her other equipment is not very good.
Although the best things in Levi's hands had been distributed to Wange and others, they were still much .
Next are some consumable items, including various strengthening and recovery potions, as well as scrolls that enhance various abilities and weapon enchantments.
As a profession like assassin, it is certain that they are afraid of mages. Secondly, they are not good at dealing with incorporeal creatures such as ghosts, so they can only make up for it by using external objects.
Mocuiti's expression changed slightly. She took a look and didn't say much. She just took it.
Then she bowed again to show her gratitude, but this time, she was more serious.
After changing, without waiting for Levi to speak, she took the initiative to ask if Levi had any important tasks next.
After all, as soon as you see them getting ready, you know they must have something to do.
Levi would certainly not hide anything from Mortiti, who had become his subordinate. He explained everything to her in just a few words.
Now, Mocuiti was obviously excited, and she took the initiative to suggest going together to hunt the swamp monster.
In addition to the hatred for evil, the other party's nickname - Mist Walker - seriously blasphemes the Mist Lady - Radlily.
Seeing the other person's fangirl look, Levi had almost figured out the whole story.
Probably because she is a fragile assassin herself, Mortiti admires Lilith's vest very much. With the fog covering her, her survival and ambush abilities will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
Coupled with some of Illidan's ideas, she was thrown to Levi.
No, or more than that.
The night elves originally did not have their own gods, and Mortiti was the only phantom assassin in the history of her tribe. Where did she get the opportunity to change her job?
Taking into account Lilith's habit of searching the world for talent and investing in it, Levi felt that she might have unknowingly accepted Lilith's power or knowledge, and that was why she had such a high liking for Lilith.
Levi asked a few more questions, asking where she originally wanted to go.
Then, as expected, she learned that she originally wanted to seek refuge with Eltharion the Grim, because he was the chosen one of the Lady of the Mist.
It was not until she received clear instructions from Illidan that she changed her mind.
But now it seems that this is also a very good choice.
Many people around her were quite surprised by her bold statement.
Levi didn't care. No matter what she thought before, she had now become his subordinate.
Lunala was fighting with herself before, but now she has become a workaholic and is working hard for the development of Fear Rock, right?
He also admired the other person's straightforward character.
Although the incident happened suddenly, because Mortidi acted decisively, it took less than a quarter of an hour for them to set off again.
As the bear-headed gods cast spells, they soon arrived at a dry desert.
Normally, the teleportation skills of the bear-headed gods have certain deviations, but because they have been summoned by him very many times and have participated in many large and small battles, their strength has been improved to varying degrees.
In addition, with Bill, a level 6 elite, as their leader, their biggest error is no more than 700 to 800 meters, and they will be together in minutes.
This kind of error is actually very rare for a transmission of at least thousands of miles.
Levi, Sefa, Sally and other mages immediately began to summon celestial creatures and asked them to scout the surrounding areas.
According to the winged elves, the teleportation location is about ten miles away from the oasis where they once lived.
I don’t know whether the power of the swamp monster has expanded further after so many days have passed.
Logically speaking, since there is desert all around them, they should be living in the oasis.
But no one knows how powerful and how crazy they have become.
In addition to the possibility of obtaining Leila's power, some surviving winged elves have used many words such as .
It's not just because they are ugly and ferocious, but also because of their brutal and bloodthirsty behavior.
Unfortunately, the Winged Elves themselves were too weak. They only knew that the other side was very powerful, but they had no way of telling whether it was related to the devil or the Four Chaos Gods.
Luna and Kerillian also took their respective teams to scout, and even Donna sent out her big cats to join in the operation.
Since becoming the commander of the flying unit, she has had the rare opportunity to fight side by side with Levi, Elegy, Cindy and others.
Penthesilea rode a level 7 Tyrannosaurus alone, standing on a high place and looking out.
She had never been to the desert before. She only heard that this was the territory of the Tomb Kings. She didn't know if she would encounter them this time.
It would be fun to fight a Sphinx or something like that, right?
However, after looking around, Motuidi seemed quite confused.
She is the Phantom Assassin who is best at fighting in complex terrains such as forests, because the environment there can better conceal her figure.
But where can she hide in this barren desert?
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long, as Kerillian and Luna sent her information one after another.
There are indeed a large number of swamp monsters in the oasis, but the environment of the oasis itself is seriously polluted.
Now it is an extremely strange scene, with all the trees, land, etc. appearing in black, translucent shadows.
It can be said that even if they conquered that place, the Winged Elves would never be able to come back.
At the same time, the swamp monsters also looked similar. They were originally mostly grayish white and grayish green in color, but now they have also turned black.
And in many places, they also found traces of demons.
Then in another direction, there was a city of the Tomb Kings where a war seemed to be going on.
According to previous intelligence, it should be the city belonging to the Tomb King - Ramizazi - Bagh City.
This Tomb King is not a legendary figure like Khalida or the Immortal Emperor Settra.
But because he lived long enough, spending thousands of years, he also managed to reach the legendary level.
Levi had never heard that the other party had ever defeated any strong enemy in a duel, but it was said that this Lamizazi was quite capable in commanding the army, especially in constructs.
Although he could not be compared with the Immortal Emperor, he once successfully repelled the army of Nagash and regained lost territory with the help of the legion formed by the gods' guards, and was rewarded by the Immortal Emperor for this.
Like Levi, he is good at manufacturing and driving these special constructs. Levi had thought about it before. If there is a chance, he can communicate with him.
But because the distance is relatively far, they are not yet clear about the details of the warring parties.
After listening to the whole content and thinking about it for a while, Levi couldn't help but frown slightly. The shadow shape made him have some bad guesses.
"Is there a fire demon among them?"
Kerillian shook her head. "I noticed the more conventional hellhounds, three-headed hellhounds, horned devils, horned devil warlords, and occasionally a few berserkers, but they totaled less than 100."
"The number of those swamp monsters may be relatively large, about three hundred. There are not too many dense or tall trees in the oasis, so there shouldn't be too many enemies hiding there."
Hearing this, many people showed their eagerness to try.
Although the Swamp Monsters can be considered a powerful race of monsters, they generally have the strength of Level 4 when they grow up. They are known for their brute force, thick skin and flesh, and the talent for spreading fog.
But if there are only this many of them, even with those demons included, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for ten minutes against this elite force.
Levi shook his head: "According to common sense, this is the case, but what if those demons have virtual bodies?"
Elegy and the others still had no idea, but Cindy, Sefa and the others' eyes lit up. Due to the recent actions of the Four Gods of Chaos, they had been cramming some knowledge about demons.
"Brother Levi, do you suspect that the Shadow Demon Queen Rex Sally is behind this?"
“That’s right!”
The Shadow Queen, as the name suggests, and her most elite demons all appeared in black, translucent, virtual form, just like what Kerillian and the others had scouted at the oasis.
She is a special and mysterious demon. As the lord of the desert kingdom of Shatonnon, the 49th layer of the Abyss, she doesn't care about mortals at all.
She is one of the very few demon lords who has no intention of invading the main world to seize the souls of mortals.
She will basically choose to trade with other demon lords, hag merchants, etc. to obtain the souls and other resources she needs.
Another of her characteristics is the large-scale trafficking of demon troops.
But despite this, when she encountered something thrown away by the Phantom Goddess Leila, how could she sit still?
Originally her country was also a desert environment, and this place was simply the most suitable battlefield for her.
She is also used to living in darkness and shadows, which makes her very compatible with Swamp Trolls, and also with Phantom Divinities, etc.
And recently there have been rumors that the Ghoul King and many other demon lords of the Abyss are planning to become gods.
It is said that they obtained the secret of becoming a god even though they were demons from the Four Chaos Gods.
Although Levi felt that this was most likely nonsense, because according to Lilith, the Four Chaos Gods were all demons formed by emotions, and they were the only four of the same kind in the entire world.
They are completely different from the guys in the bottomless abyss.
But the temptation of becoming a god is too great, and this does not stop the demon lords from taking action.
There just happens to be such an opportunity right in front of him. Although Levi cannot be completely sure unless he actually sees the Shadow Queen appear, she is undoubtedly the most suspicious.
Since she seems to have never fought against other powerful beings, it is impossible to infer her true strength based on her past battle records.
More importantly, she is also one of the few staunch allies of Graz'zt, the Dark Lord, one of the giants of the Abyss, because they are siblings.
They have 6 fingers or toes on each hand and foot.
Although blood ties are of no use to demons, past history has proven that the alliance between the two of them is indeed unshakable.
This gave Levi a headache, because if the other party was really the Shadow Demon Queen, he would offend two demon lords at once.
The strength of the demon lords varies. They are completely not on the same level as the previous Ghoul King and Gnoll King.
But things have come to this point, and he has no better choice. In order to train Mortiti, what's the harm even if he comes into conflict with them?
Unless they come directly with their real bodies or projections, ordinary demon troops are nothing more than food for us to become stronger.
"Everyone, pay attention! Start casting summoning magic and activating the Death Guard. We have to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, and then go to Bag City to find out what's going on!"
