Volume 4 Chapter 501 The Enemy is in Action
After resting for another night in Bag City, Levi was ready to return to Fear Rock.
Elegy and her companions successfully retrieved some extremely majestic giant stags yesterday afternoon.
Judging from their size, these big guys are even stronger than wild tigers, and their strength is also very reliable.
They don't have many fancy skills. Apart from the berserk ability that can be switched on and off freely when their health is over half, they also have some regular skills such as running, charging and woodland adaptation.
In return, it gains advantages in attributes such as strength, physique and agility, just like the green-skinned Dapeng, simple and unpretentious, but powerful enough.
It’s a pity that the number is a little small, only 30 in total.
There's no way around it. The wood elves themselves are not a race famous for their population, and the same goes for the many monsters they control.
Since the number was too small to form a standardized army, Levi simply distributed them all.
Not only Penthesilea, Elegy and others have one, but also Sefa and magic units.
Even the blood elves were given a few as a welfare benefit.
For the remaining part, Levi planned to use the teleportation array to hand it over to Lisadilan, Zhou Miyin and others stationed in other towns.
Although they haven't followed me on my expeditions recently, they have been staying in the territory all day and have been busy with a lot of things, so they deserve a reward.
Queen Lashut's gift has also been delivered. Her idea coincides with that of the Twilight sisters. They are two pieces of the Dragon King's power: dragon armor and dragon tooth necklace, as well as a duplicate dragon eye ring.
There are nine separate pieces of the Dragon King's power, plus the one Levi had obtained before, now he only needs to find the dragon shield to successfully assemble it.
However, the next step is also the most difficult, because this equipment is not only a battle treasure, but can also be used as combat equipment.
But Levi was not in a hurry. Even if he had gathered all of them now, what would it matter?
In addition to ordinary bonuses, the main power of the Dragon King is to strengthen dragons and dragon vein creatures. He currently has only two little female dragons and an Alduin under his command, so he is considered qualified.
On the contrary, it might be more useful if Alduin could successfully convince his fellow tribesmen on the island.
Levi had heard before that the Dragon Prince had successfully assembled a set hundreds of years ago. If he had time, he would ask Michaela if he had any extra parts.
Apart from this, it is not known what Queen Rashut and King Lamizazi discussed. In short, after learning that Levi's Fear Rock was seriously short of garrisons, they finally made a unanimous decision to send some troops to reinforce for free.
Even though they were badly beaten before, the Tomb Kings have neither shortage of money nor troops. In just a few days, Bag City will have tens of thousands more troops.
Logically speaking, the relationship between the two parties is far from being so close. Even if it is out of gratitude, they don't need to do this. After all, the reward they gave is already very generous.
So Levi could only guess that either the recent changes in the main world had made them all feel the crisis, and they were eager to find new allies who were as reliable and powerful as themselves.
Or, is it the instruction from the gods behind them, like the Scorpion Goddess?
But no matter what, Levi still chose to accept the cannon fodder that was delivered to his doorstep for free.
Even though it's impossible to fully trust them in the short term, there are many places on Fear Rock where troops are needed, so it would be better not to leave them in the key areas of the town.
Since the teleportation array had not been completely built, Levi still asked the bear-headed gods to carry out the collective teleportation when he returned this time.
It is because of the addition of new members such as the snake girl and the giant stag that this process seems to be longer.
Out of responsibility considerations, he and Penthesilea, Elegy, Mortiti and others prepared to leave last.
Watching his subordinates being teleported away one by one, when it was Levi's turn, he suddenly sensed a special, undisguised malice.
Following his line of sight, he saw several local God-chosen heroes.
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
He, a visitor from a foreign race, saved the city of Bagh from crisis, won the recognition of the two kings, and snatched away a large number of rewards that should have belonged to them. Of course, this would cause dissatisfaction among many people.
But before this, no one had ever behaved so obviously. They would even take the initiative to come forward to greet him and try to make some deals with him.
Now that you see you're leaving, you're too lazy to pretend?
But it didn't matter. The teleportation spell had already been completed. In two seconds, he would be completely away from Bag City. No matter how unhappy the other party was with him, he would have to endure it.
But suddenly, there was a violent fluctuation of magic power on the other side, which made Levi's heart tighten. He knew that he might have fallen into a trap and the other party was just trying to attract his attention!
Without even turning his head, he subconsciously, based on his feeling, threw a supply of the Unfortunate Girl in a certain direction, and then directly triggered a series of consumable items.
When teleporting, both the caster and the recipient are actually very dangerous and vulnerable.
If the transmission fails due to carelessness, the other party might be thrown into a harsh environment such as a volcano or the sea, or get stuck in underground rocks.
Even if it was a legendary hero, unless he was a mage with many means, he would surely be in a very miserable state even if he could save his life.
If your luck is even worse and the entire teleportation magic collapses, your body might be torn apart by the power of space, or you might be teleported to a small alternate dimension that even the gods would have difficulty finding.
This is why, although the rank of teleportation spells is not too high, more stable teleportation arrays are still hard to come by.
The next moment, a male voice full of arrogance and pride came over: "Damn elf, Black-Arkhan greets you!"
"boom!"
The violent magic explosion directly engulfed the bear-headed messenger who was still unaware of anything, and then the remaining force rushed towards the area where Levi was.
Levi turned around in a hurry and soon saw a torn body and a dry head with an expression of astonishment on the face, spinning and flying dozens of meters away.
As he flew, his upper and lower jaws kept opening and closing: "How is this possible? Why am I being attacked by the spell?"
Judging from the appearance, the other party should be a lich who is not particularly dependent on the body.
But despite this, his entire body collapsed under the gaze of the Girl of Doom.
If it was a mortal wizard, that one strike would be enough to kill him.
After the Doom Girl took away the divinity, the system did not tell Levi what she did specifically, but now it seems that she may have secretly enhanced the power of that skill.
Since the bear-headed god who cast the teleportation spell was also attacked by the opponent, he also suffered the backlash of the spell and died on the spot, so the teleportation spell was forcibly terminated.
Penthesilea was the first to rush forward and stepped on the head of the opponent who was trying to escape.
Levi used restrictive magic such as dimensional anchor and light net. The opponent seemed to be of a high level and was a magic unit. Under normal circumstances, it was unlikely that he would be affected by such low- and medium-level magic.
But now he only has his head left, so Levi can naturally deal with him at will.
At this time, the mummies serving as guards nearby and some warriors from the Scorpion Church also rushed over.
Especially the heroes of Bag City, even with their mummy faces, their anger could be clearly seen.
In their territory, the guest who their king had specifically ordered to be taken good care of was assassinated in public.
Although Levi himself was not injured and only lost one of his subordinates, as guards, how could they still save their face?
Levi didn't pay much attention to their concern. He just pointed out the guys who looked at him with strange eyes just now.
Regardless of whether they are cooperating with this lich or simply building a bridge, I think King Lamizazi will give him an explanation.
He turned and looked directly at the grinning, wind-dried head: "Did that defeated general of Arkhan send you here?"
The lich's head froze instantly: "W-what?"
"Oh? It seems that he did not tell you his defeat honestly."
"But it's no wonder. After all, it's not a glorious thing. I'm not even a legend yet."
"Nonsense! You must be lying. How could Lord Arkhan be defeated by you?!"
Levi snorted, "Then do you want me to tell you all the effects of the title I gained by defeating him?"
Even though it was due to many coincidences and the cooperation of the Vampire Queen that he was able to achieve the final victory.
But victory is victory, and defeat is defeat.
Levi then quickly took out one of the Nine Volumes of Nagash and shook it at the other party: "Besides, you should recognize it, right?"
Of course the lich would know it. As the supreme artifact in the hearts of almost all undead, the Nine Volumes of Nagash held an extremely high status in their hearts. The lich had already memorized every detail.
Looking at Levi's confident look, the lich fell silent again.
No wonder Lord Arkhan had repeatedly stated that he would definitely be able to retrieve the Nine Volumes of Nagash, but in the end he returned empty-handed.
No wonder Lord Arkhan seemed so unhappy even though he had defeated the incarnation of a goddess.
Before, he and other vampires, liches, etc. who worked for Arkhan had all kinds of speculations. One vampire even said that Arkhan might have gone to see the Vampire Queen again and was tricked by her, so he looked like that.
But now, the real answers to those many unreasonable things have been found from the other party's mouth.
It would be a great shame for Lord Arkhan if he were defeated by this elf and the Nine Volumes of Nagash were taken away.
The reason why that adult was willing to expose himself in order to disgust the other party was finally discovered.
Seeing the other party's expression, Levi also smiled slightly: "So, tell me, Arkhan sent you to lurk in the town of multiple Tomb Kings because he is plotting to formally establish his own power?"
Although he was a little surprised at first, Levi soon realized that this lich might not have always been in Bag City.
Otherwise, when Bag City was besieged by the greenskins yesterday, the enemy would have had more opportunities for sneak attacks.
Or there will be many opportunities when you go to Spider Web Mountain and fight the Reproductive Queen.
Moreover, in such a chaotic situation, it would be easier for the other party to escape.
Even though liches are not afraid of death as long as their life boxes are not destroyed, death will still inevitably cause certain losses to them.
So the biggest possibility is that the other party originally came for other things and just happened to meet him, so he wanted to cheat the other party.
The lich sighed, "I am beginning to understand why Lord Arkhan is so wary of you."
Levi was a little surprised that he guessed it right. But with Arkhan's bad reputation, what kind of force could he build?
The first day his power is established, the Egyptian gods will send an expeditionary force to attack him the next day, and the many tomb kings will definitely not sit idly by.
Thinking back to the rumor that Queen Rashut accidentally revealed yesterday when she was communicating with her, the biggest possibility is...
"He corrupted the Arabs?"
Apart from the Scythians, a small, camel-riding nomadic people in the desert, the largest human force bordering the Tomb Kings were undoubtedly the Arabs in the coastal areas, who liked to wear white robes and hats.
Araby was originally a very large empire, but at its most powerful time, its then leader, Sultan (governor) Jafar, had some inappropriate thoughts.
First, he seemed to want to replace the gods with himself, become the god of the world, and even imitate Sigmar.
Secondly, he wanted to expand outward.
Then Araby was beaten up by the Bretonnian Knight Kingdom, the Tomb Kings, the Sigmar Empire, etc.
Jafar, who prided himself on his bravery, was defeated by a charge of the Batto cavalry on the battlefield, and was finally killed in a very humiliating way by several farmers armed with pitchforks.
In the end, Araby ceded territory and paid compensation, and only then was it able to avoid being destroyed.
But like a curse, the Sultan's successors will always be whimsical or crazy.
Therefore, in order to teach Araby a lesson, many countries and forces have dealt with Araby more than once.
For example, the Knight Kingdom of Bretonnia was thousands of miles away from Araby and across the sea, but it still launched many expeditions of varying sizes.
The young knights wanted to grab one and equip themselves with better horses, armor and weapons, and even make great achievements.
The older knights wanted to make some money and leave some savings for their descendants.
Levi didn't know whether Lilith had a hand in it, but this kind of expedition did become the most popular career among knights for a time.
Coupled with the intervention of many gods, the huge empire soon fell apart. Now it only maintains a unified name on the surface, but in fact it is more like a very loose federation.
Each town, and even village, had different rulers, laws, culture, customs, etc., and worshiped different gods.
The royal power there declined greatly and was replaced by theocracy.
Almost all gods from various pantheons have developed beliefs and fostered agents there.
After a long struggle, many evil gods are now the most active there.
There are even rumors that many of them believe in demons or devils.
Anyway, as long as the devil doesn't reveal its true form or carry out large-scale massacres and sacrifices, it is often more gentle than the evil god.
In order to develop his own church on earth, the evil god might sometimes send people to rob some money and treasures, but the devil usually only takes away the soul after death.
If Arkhan wanted to build a force, it would undoubtedly be a very good choice.
Another point is that the area ruled by Arkhan during his lifetime was not too far from Arabia. Even the pyramids he built himself are still buried in the yellow sand.
The crowed distance to the city of the Caliphate, one of the nominal capitals of Araby, is probably less than 300 miles.
Of course, the reason why the Egyptian Gods and Tomb Kings kept it was probably for fishing.
This time the lich did not speak again, but this silence itself represented a response.
Levi felt that the situation was a bit troublesome. If Akhan ran over there, it would mean that he would not be able to send troops there.
Otherwise, Arkhan wouldn't even have to take action himself, the churches of the evil gods would just rush over and crush him completely.
Nominally, it is the place where the gods fight, but now chaos and evil have already taken absolute advantage there.
Perhaps only the Three Holy Ones and other gods are still trying unremittingly to purify that place, but other forces, whether gods or mortals, know that it is futile.
After a brief pause, Levi continued to ask, "Who is Arkhan's collaborator?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he suddenly threatened: "Since you know that I have the Nine Volumes of Nagash, you should also know that if you die here, the price you pay may be much higher than expected."
The lich, who was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, was suddenly speechless again.
All the undead know that the Nine Volumes of Nagash is the supreme artifact of the undead. It contains countless dark and evil powers and knowledge. Whoever obtains it can become an extremely powerful being.
But no one knows how much it can do and to what extent, so the Lich doesn't dare to bet on that possibility now.
After thinking carefully, and seeing that Levi was about to take out the Ninth Volume of Nagash again, the lich quickly said, "It's Dracula and the vampires of the Eclipse Alliance!"
Levi raised his eyebrows. Wow, Dracula really made a lot of preparations to become a god.
First there was the Underdark, and then he hooked up with the vampire pirates. That’s not all, it seems he has also developed a lot of power in Araby?
If Dracula and Arkhan join forces, they might be able to do something.
Unfortunately, Araby was too far away from the Rock of Terror, and it was impossible for him to cause trouble for them.
Let Lilith launch a holy war and launch another expedition?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Levi rejected it himself.
All kinds of evil have been more active than ever before recently, and the Kingdom of Batto itself is having trouble taking care of itself.
Because their troops are mainly divided into two parts, one part is the elite but scarce noble knights, who are also the absolute main force of the army.
The other part is made up of old farmers who have received simple training. Although they are numerous, they are ultimately unable to handle the task.
Or should we wait for Eltharion the Grim to finish his Mist Crusade, and then use the remaining troops to carry out a clean-up?
But no one knows when the war in the Badlands will end. Given the Grim One's hatred for the greenskins, he is unlikely to leave early unless he completely defeats the other side.
But how easy is it to completely defeat the almost endless green tide?
So for a moment, Levi felt quite a headache. He watched helplessly as things went in a direction that was not favorable to him, but he was powerless to do anything. This feeling really made him very uncomfortable.
Seeing Levi frowning, the lich did not dare to speak actively. He could only quietly begin to try to break the restraints of the dimensional anchor and the light network and run away quickly.
Just as the two of them were looking at each other in silence, two kings quickly arrived accompanied by a series of footsteps.
Without waiting for the other party to ask about his well-being, Levi directly told him all his guesses.
In fact, he already had an idea. If he could not send the army himself, could he rely on the power of the Tomb Kings?
He was not sure about others, but if the Immortal Emperor wanted to deal with Arkhan, he would not care whether there was resistance from other evil gods!
After listening, the two kings also felt the seriousness of the situation, because every time Arkhan made a big move, it meant that Nagash was about to return again.
Yes, without exception, it seems that Arkhan was born to resurrect Nagash.
So when Li Weishun mentioned a few words, if the Tomb Kings attacked Arkhan in the future, he hoped to be able to participate in it as revenge for what happened today.
This was naturally not an difficult request. Queen Lashut directly guaranteed that if the Immortal Emperor launched an expedition, Levi would definitely be qualified to go with him.
King Lamizazi also patted his chest and guaranteed that Levi would not need to send a single soldier himself. He would send troops from Bag City to participate in the war in the name of him and Levi!
What else can Levi say? He can only say that so far, none of the three Tomb Kings he has personally met are stingy!
So he didn't waste any more words and directly signaled Penthesilea to hand over the lich's head, which was still under her feet, to the other party for disposal, and they continued on their return journey.
The top priority now is to improve the defense of Dread Rock while heading to Eight Peaks Mountain as soon as possible to participate in the war there and obtain the Nine Volumes of Nagash.
This time there were no new accidents and they soon returned to Fear Rock.
Just at this moment, a small group of night elves came rushing over from a distance, seemingly with some urgent information.
There was no need to speak, as Luna, who had returned earlier, took the initiative to greet him.
After a very brief conversation, she immediately came back excitedly to report: "Sir, Lunala was patrolling along the coast just now, and a Zhendan fleet requested to enter the port. The other party claimed to be from the Yuan family, with whom you have an old friendship!"
If it was just an ordinary small fleet, Lunala, as the de facto naval commander of Black Ark and Terror Rock, would naturally be fully capable of making the decision.
In fact, although it has not been long since the change of ownership of Fear Rock, many alien races nearby have already sent envoys, hoping to establish certain business relations with Fear Rock.
Although in Levi's opinion, there was not much worth looking forward to on Fear Rock except some big dinosaurs.
But for many indigenous people, everything here is full of mystery.
When the island was originally occupied by the lizardmen, they had no chance of landing on it, but now it is different.
Even if you don't buy dinosaurs, the island's special environment has given birth to some relatively rare flowers, plants, trees and so on.
But now the fleet coming is a fleet that can pose some threat to the Dread Rock or the Black Ark, so it is naturally different, even if the opponent is from the Lawful Good Camp's Zhendan Dynasty.
In fact, Levi would naturally not forget the Yuan family from Zhendan. It was they who helped introduce Kalida to him.
However, the relationship between Kalida and herself has probably already surpassed that between her and the Yuan family.
He had fought side by side with Khalida many times, but the Yuan family was just doing some business and making some money from Khalida. They were completely different.
The reason why the other party came this time was to fulfill his original promise and sell a Zhendan Palace to himself.
Or did he deliberately summon the Dragon Cloud Element multiple times before, which really attracted the attention of Saranata, the goddess of the Flying Feathers who holds dual positions in the Zhendan pantheon and the Dreamer of the Sea, and even the Zhendan Dragon Gods behind her?
While his mind was racing, Levi also passed down the order: "Let Lunala make arrangements as soon as possible. I will meet them in person at the Fear Rock!"
