Volume 4 Chapter 505: Allied Forces Attack
After a little time, Levi first took a boat to the colony and picked up ogres such as Braut Big Mouth, with whom he had worked before.
In theory, it is very easy to get employment contracts for ogres. No matter whether they are the Dragon Prince's minions or the God-chosen heroes, they are all somewhat interested in these guys who are willing to do things obediently and not fear life and death as long as they are given money and meat.
But there was one thing that they found difficult to satisfy Braut, and that was his favorite food, giant meat.
At the same time, since the battles between several ogre legends have not yet ended completely and are even getting more intense, the ogre kingdom is currently in the midst of war.
Before the winner was decided, they had defeated many small ogre tribes, so a large number of ogres began to migrate in all directions.
Some of them fled westward to the Dragon Prince's colony, and quite a few were hired by the indigenous people or the chosen heroes, so they were not so particularly concerned about Braut.
So when Levi used giant meat as bait and promised that all the giant meat obtained in the next battle with the greenskins would be given to the other side, and also because they had a basis for cooperation before, Braut agreed very readily.
Of course, Levi also warned him in advance not to have any inappropriate thoughts about the mountain giants and hybrid .
Braut thought about it, and finally agreed quite readily.
He liked eating giant meat, but he was not completely picky about food. Mountain giants happened to be the species he did not like very much because their skin was too thick and the earthy smell was too strong.
Judging from Levi's expression, if he didn't agree, the deal would probably not be done. There was no need for him to give up the opportunity to go to the badlands just for the little bit of meat in front of him.
He also had his own little thoughts. He didn't believe that after the battle, none of Levi's mountain giants would die.
In order to avoid wasting the corpse, wouldn’t he have a chance to eat meat then?
While sailing towards the city of Lahmia, Levi was communicating with the other party to determine Braut's true strength.
Braut's troops also suffered some damage during this period, but he was lucky enough to have absorbed some of the migrating ogres, so now he still has about 300 fat men.
In addition to the original Bull Warriors, Lead Sprayers and Crusher, he also gained about a hundred new soldiers - Yeti.
Yeti, also known as the Snow Ogre, is a special variant of the Ogre. They are covered in white hair and usually live in snowy mountains.
But thanks to the ogre's powerful vitality, they can still be alive and well even if they go to the mountains and plains.
In addition to emitting cold air all over their bodies and their normal attacks being able to cause ice-attribute attacks and slow down effects on the enemy, since they have lived in the snow-capped mountains for a long time, they are also very good at moving in rugged terrains such as mountainous areas.
And it has higher resistance to water and ice attacks.
The downside is that they are weak to fire and tend to have lower intelligence than regular ogres.
Therefore, even though they generally have a strength of level 3-4, their status in many ogre tribes is relatively low. They are slightly stronger than cannon fodder and backup food such as saber-toothed beasts and gnolls, but their status is also very limited.
The intelligence of ogres is much lower than that of humans, but there is also a chain of contempt among them. For example, Yeti and giants are not well-liked by ordinary ogres.
But as cannon fodder, they are still very qualified.
As they chatted and moved forward, Levi soon brought Braut and the others to the city of Lahmia by boat.
Here, Lunala had already used the Black Ark to transport the troops for this battle, and they successfully met up with Khalida's army.
Levi did not mobilize too many troops this time. On the one hand, it was because Fear Rock still lacked garrison troops, especially since even the bronze dragon was killed so easily. The threat from pirates was obviously far from over.
While Levi launches the expedition, Lunala will also cooperate with Sumi, Alduin and others, and help each other with Paradise Island and the Sea Dreamer to prevent the pirates from causing greater harm, and try their best to eliminate the enemy when possible.
On the other hand, as Levi's strength increased and his relationship with the celestial creatures improved, the types and numbers of his summons now became extremely exaggerated.
Combined with the large number of Death Guards, it is enough to replace regular infantry teams in most cases.
What's more, this time we are fighting in conjunction with Khalida, so there is no shortage of cannon fodder.
Therefore, the infantry he led were basically his personal guards, for example, the drow sword dancers of Elegy, Zhou Miyin's three Zhendan teams, Motriti's watchers, and so on.
Penthesilea also brought a personal guard this time. After several days of purification, more and more Amazons broke free from their restraints. She carefully selected a team and named them Ares Swordmaids.
As the name suggests, they are the unique soldiers of the god of war Ares and use swords and shields as weapons.
This is relatively rare for Amazons, as they usually prefer bows and spears.
Their special skill is that in battle, as they continue to kill enemies, their attack power and critical hit rate will increase.
But Penthesilea didn't care about these, because she brought them out simply to broaden their horizons and understand the outside world. She didn't expect them to kill many enemies.
As for guards, that's out of the question because they are only level 5 soldiers, and with more than a dozen of them combined, it wouldn't take Penthesilea long to deal with them.
The main force this time is still the flying unit led by Donna and Kerillian.
Due to the recent expansion of the army and the support of the Dragon Prince, Donna now has more than 30 Sky Slashers under her command.
There are four types of Skyslashers of the High Elves, which can carry from a dozen to 50 people. Even so, a part of the area must be allocated to auxiliary units such as priests and druids, as well as war machines such as crossbows.
But now there are nearly 700 archers who can fight on it. It can be said that Donna can now form an independent army.
With her powerful bonus, a wave of arrow rain can often cause tens of thousands of damage to soldiers of the same level.
Cooperating with them are two little female dragons and Kerillian's flying troops.
Originally, due to the severe shortage of flying mounts such as hippogryphs, giant eagles, griffins and wings, the size of the flying force was relatively small.
But after accumulating for this period of time, the Red Brotherhood helped to purchase some of the troops, and most importantly, pterosaurs and giant macaws joined Fear Rock and Paradise Island, and the size of her troops finally increased significantly.
There are now a total of 300 flying archers. Although there are many types of mounts, so it looks a bit messy at first glance, but the combat effectiveness is impeccable.
Levi also instructed Kerillian to select suitable talents as her lieutenants.
Next came the female hunters led by Luna, about five hundred of them.
Their initial strength was not high, but because they had followed Levi long enough, the veterans among them were generally promoted to level 4 or 5.
After getting Levi's permission, Luna selected 5 heroes at once. It was not that she abused her power, but they were all really good enough.
Except for special beings like the Ratmaster who can use the ability of invisibility or hiding, most scouts are more capable than ordinary people think.
Because they not only need to conduct reconnaissance, but often also have to deal with the enemy's scouts and vanguard troops.
Next came the Celestial Army led by Cindy and several Horned Archons.
In addition to her original angels, there are also some permanently recruited Archons of Justice, Archons of Shield, Archons of Storm, Archons of Feathered Peng, Archons of Winged Serpent, Archons of Lion-Headed God, Archons of Tiger and Archons of Patrolling Wolf, etc.
In addition, through the repeated use of the 9th-level magic - the Last Crusade, Levi not only became familiar with many alien creatures from the good camp, but also received assistance from some Caleb angels.
As high-level angels, they are all level 6 elite soldiers and are the strongest celestial soldiers Levi has recruited so far.
They have two forms in total. One is a powerful warrior holding a giant sacred flaming sword and protected by spiritual energy.
At the same time, he can also use low- and medium-level healing and auxiliary spells like a priest, and can use invisibility, anti-invisibility, monster freeze and teleportation like a wizard.
They have almost gathered together the best skills of many celestial creatures such as the Bear-Headed God, and if any of them stands alone, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary evil beings to defeat them.
Even because of their extremely high mobility, in a one-on-one duel, even the little female dragon Catherine was beaten to the point where she could only defend herself and had no power to fight back.
This made her feel very frustrated, but more than that she was unwilling to accept it.
Dragons are all proud. How could she be willing to be bullied by angels like that?
So the little female dragon is now very ambitious and wants to perform well in the next battle.
But the Caleb angels are not weak in any way. They are more like warriors in essence. On a large-scale battlefield, unless they use decapitation tactics, their overall effect is definitely far inferior to that of the little dragonets. This is the difference in focus between the two sides.
The second form is somewhat similar to the Holy Light Sub-Sky, and is a large light ball with a diameter of 1.6 meters.
While in this form, they cannot cast magic, but can fire powerful beams of light that bypass most damage reduction abilities.
Its range is much longer than that of the Holy Light Ark, at 100 meters. Its power and attack speed are naturally much greater. It can basically be understood as a small magic machine gun.
Even in this state, their defense and movement speed will be greatly reduced, and they still need help and cover from friendly forces.
Of course, as an angel, flying is the most basic ability no matter what form it is in.
After reaching level 6, many types of soldiers are proficient in both magic and martial arts, can fight at long range or close range, and can even fly. Angels and demons are the most typical examples.
Finally, there are King Kong, Mountain Giant and two teams of Hybrid Giants. They will serve as the personal guards of mages such as Sefa and Sally together with the Shield Archon, Wild Horseman and others.
Because of the time constraints before, their equipment was forged in a hurry and the attributes were not very good.
But this time, with a few days' time, the dwarf blacksmiths used more advanced materials to make more sophisticated equipment for them, and their overall strength improved to a certain extent.
Next are heroic units such as Elegy. It is worth mentioning that this time, in addition to Alyssa, Lunala and Alduin who stay behind, Kayle and Mikaela will also accompany them.
With the addition of the two legends Penthesilea and Khalida, as well as the numerous tomb generals and tomb priests of the city of Lahmia, the strength of the heroic units in this coalition will undoubtedly become unprecedentedly powerful.
When he actually arrived at the city of Lahmia, he saw everything with his own eyes, and Levi's guess was confirmed.
Nearly a hundred heroic units, five thousand each of the Jackal-type God Guardians and Graveyard Knights, this is already a very powerful force.
As for those mummies and skeleton soldiers, they were almost endless. It was impossible to determine for a moment whether there were 30,000, 50,000, or even more.
Levi knew that Khalida had a strong foundation, but to send out so many troops at once, was she drawing the main forces from all the towns under her command, intending to go all out?
Moreover, he didn't seem to see any God-chosen heroes.
Could it be that Khalida was planning to have them guard the city? What was the difference between this and having mice guard the rice jar?
However, he could roughly guess what the situation was with the three or four thousand mummies in the form of large and small cats.
As a queen, the golden lioness, Queen Rashut, must want to compete with Khalida for attention.
As if seeing his confusion, Khalida smiled and said, "These are not only my own subordinates, but also the support of the Golden Lioness and the Immortal Emperor."
Most of the Tomb Kings are brutal and cruel, and the Immortal Emperor is the worst among them. But for those who are familiar with him, it is actually very easy to get him to do things.
This is especially true for Khalida.
All she had to do was be humble and ask for his help.
Apart from wanting to restore his withered body to its original state, the Immortal Emperor actually had no great interest in wealth, land, or the army.
But he prefers to enjoy the submission and awe of others.
Especially since he knew that Khalida had only surrendered superficially before, but this time she was sincerely seeking his help, and she had also said a lot of nice things for the first time, he just waved his hand and directly sent out tens of thousands of troops.
Anyway, he has a large number of soldiers and generals, and there are no enemies around. No matter whether they are demons, greenskins or ratmen, no one will bother him.
Because the Immortal Emperor is not easy to deal with and there is no benefit in defeating him, he is now very free and has no shortage of troops.
And for Khalida, what does it matter if she says a few soft words to the Immortal Emperor in order to deal with the Vampire Queen?
What's more, in name, she and all the other kings of the ancient tombs are still subjects of the Immortal Emperor.
As for the Golden Lioness sending troops, it has something to do with Levi, but not much. The main reason is that as both are queens, she also intends to make friends with Khalida, and she also has a vague intention of showing off.
Look, your city of Lahmia still needs to ask the Immortal Emperor for help, but as a queen, I have the ability to support you!
But none of this mattered to Khalida. She even found it a little funny. She only wanted to deal with the Vampire Queen!
As for those chosen heroes, they were indeed a bit of a threat, so in order to avoid them from causing trouble, she issued a large number of tasks in advance and sent them all out to encircle and suppress the Shahua murlocs, ratmen, greenskins, etc.
She also left a large number of troops to guard the area, and Goddess Lilith also gave her something that was enough to ensure that the core area of Lahmia City would not be lost. That was enough.
Having said that, she couldn't help but smile again.
Levi also noticed that the golden mask worn by Khalida today had been modified to some extent, and now her smooth chin was exposed.
This is the first time she has done such a thing since she took refuge with Lilith and had her body improved. I wonder what this means?
But no matter what, since Khalida has arranged everything, let's advance as soon as possible.
So tens of thousands of troops took action. Since there were almost no living people among Khalida's subordinates, there was no sound of any conversation except the collision of weapons and armor. The entire army seemed extremely elite.
Levi and others were naturally arranged to the core area and protected by tens of thousands of troops.
Seeing this scene, Luna couldn't help but sigh a little, because the scale of her own army was too large and the target was too obvious.
As long as you are not a fool, any hostile presence would have run away long ago.
If she were to conduct reconnaissance work, even if she deviated from the main force by thirty or fifty miles, she might not gain anything.
Fortunately, Levi also realized this, so he let her rest for a while.
However, Luna only agreed on the surface. In fact, she still did not let her guard down, because her current position in the team was reconnaissance and vigilance.
Then, before they had walked a few miles, Luna told Levi that a new reinforcement had arrived behind.
Levi took a look and, hmm, as expected, they were the Venomous Scorpion Generals who had fought alongside him before, as well as some priests and warriors from the Venomous Scorpion Church.
There is no need to think about it, it must be related to the Crystal Vanguard squatting on his shoulder.
Because he had already felt it, when he saw the Scorpion Warrior, he started dancing with great pride.
This made Xiao Qi, who was squatting on the other side of the shoulder, look at it as if it were a fool.
It was originally a colorful parrot with high intelligence. After becoming a magical pet, its intelligence was further improved. With continuous upgrades, its intelligence continued to rise.
By now, they are not much worse than ordinary humans, and they also have many emotions like humans, such as doubt, confusion, and now contempt.
It was precisely because of the other party's performance that Levi couldn't help but doubt again and again whether it was the incarnation of the Scorpion Goddess, because he had never heard of such a silly and cute goddess!
Or is it that the other party is trying to use this method to make me misjudge?
But aren’t there too many loopholes in other areas?
Unfortunately, he currently does not have much information about the other party. Even in the Egyptian pantheon, the other party is the kind that no one cares about.
The only thing that is certain is that the thinking of the Egyptian gods is generally abnormal and obviously different from that of ordinary gods.
Not to mention the King of Gods - Osiris. When the big crocodile Sobek showed no rebelliousness at all, he dealt with Sobek every few days simply because of his personal preference.
Other gods who have no blood ties will also be excluded and suppressed by their family.
No matter what Osiris's purpose was, he could definitely be described as stupid.
The other gods are similar, at most Set, the father of jackals, has some brains.
Such a conspirator who usurps the throne usually has some ability and wisdom, at least much stronger than Osiris.
The second one might be the lioness Tefnut who was defeated by Black Arkhan before.
Levi suspected that she was most likely hiding her power. After all, she was also a very ancient goddess.
According to this reasoning, it seems completely understandable that this scorpion goddess is not very smart.
But every time he saw her dancing nonchalantly, he couldn't help but want to complain:
Even if it's a real scorpion, it wouldn't be as outrageous as you, right? Which scorpion can do a backflip while dancing?
Besides, a real scorpion will only dance when it is courting a mate. You dance all the time. Who are you interested in?
But since she wants to play this game, then just go ahead. It will benefit you in every way and will not cause any harm.
If they encounter any difficult creature, maybe she can be asked to take the bullet.
After all, she is the incarnation of a goddess. It is impossible for her to be easily killed by legendary goblins or ratmen, right?
Soon, the Scorpion General came to Levi with forty or fifty people. On the surface, they said that they were impressed by Levi's reputation, so they wanted to follow him to broaden their horizons.
This reason does not stand up to scrutiny at all, because following Khalida can also achieve similar goals, but Levi did not delve into it, just smiled and welcomed their joining.
Khalida glanced at the Scorpion General and felt a little puzzled because the other party even had a general position under her name.
But she had no idea about his actions today.
Then she noticed the extremely unique and active crystal scorpion on Levi's shoulder.
Originally, there was only that little bird there. Where did it come from?
Her eyes flickered a few times, but Kalida didn't say anything. Since she could see it, Levi would surely not ignore it. In that case , she would just pretend she didn't see it...
So the troops continued their advance, but the journey became rather boring, because the enemies near the city of Lahmia had basically been wiped out in their previous battles.
Even if there are sporadic survivors, it is impossible for them to appear in front of their army of tens of thousands.
At the same time, Khalida also sent messengers to convey messages to Ironforge and other dwarves. Even though a treaty of military passage had been signed before and they were now in a state of war, it was only natural to notify the other party when the time came.
Dwarves are both generous and narrow-minded. They care a lot about their reputation, so you still have to be polite.
Otherwise, it would be so unfair to be included in their book of hatred because of such a small matter.
At the same time, they also wanted to obtain some intelligence from the other side so that they could participate in the war with the greenskins.
And by the way, take Xiaotian, the supervisor and Shudun who are stationed at the black iron mine with you.
Then, as they chatted, Levi felt that there was something wrong with Khalida's mental state this time. She seemed a little too excited.
And slowly, she became familiar with Penthesilea, and now they were discussing some strategies, tactics, and fighting techniques with each other.
Goodness, has she finally remembered that besides being the queen of Lahmia, she is also a legendary warrior?
Judging from her previous performances, I really don’t feel that she is much better than Wange. I just saw her being humiliated.
But this is good news, because originally in Levi's mind, not counting himself, the current high-end combat power of his side on the battlefield is ranked as follows:
The Messenger of Mercy, Penthesilea, the Dragon-Headed Envoy, then the two great wizards Michaela and Kyle, and then Khalida and Elegy.
Even if we don't consider that warriors are obviously weaker than mages on large-scale battlefields, Khalida's combat effectiveness is indeed a bit weak.
I don’t know whether she was inspired to fight by the Vampire Queen this time, or gained new power from Lilith, but in any case, we should be able to rely on her power, right?
As he was sighing, Kerillian suddenly reported to him that a war was taking place in a dwarf town about ten miles northwest.
The greenskin army has successfully broken through the outer defenses, and the dwarves are currently relying on the semi-underground castle to resist stubbornly.
What’s more crucial is that in the greenskin air force, there are some extremely special creatures, one big and two small, a total of three giant dragons!
