Volume 4 Chapter 508: The Whale-Body Divine Envoy and the Dog-Headed Man's Lair
Even though the enemy still did not give up resistance, and even at the critical moment, there were several God-chosen heroes, as well as the greenskins' sneak attacks and the believers of the god of thieves, Shagga, who came to help, but in front of Penthesilea and Elegy, the outcome was still no suspense.
The explosive power of Penthesilea, the warrior legend, in small-scale battles was far beyond their ability to resist.
Mortiti and her team of watchers are far superior to ordinary thieves and assassins.
Her strength was already very strong, and with the equipment Levi gave her, she became elusive and moved freely on the battlefield, and the enemy could not even touch her.
Levi nodded secretly as he watched. He was capable, intelligent, and had great potential. He was excellent in every aspect.
It seems that after she has achieved more victories, it is time for me to give her the Phantom Divinity. It will surely greatly improve her assassination and survival abilities.
Others such as Martis also performed very well.
The chosen heroes were almost killed by two big moves, and the attacker was killed again. The overall combat effectiveness and morale of the greenskin army were immediately severely affected.
It's not just about the command of the attackers, but also the many bonuses that the hero units give them.
Levi took a look and simply used the Hammer of Axiom to instantly kill a few God-chosen heroes, and then he didn't make any more moves.
In fact, at his current level, the experience points he gained from killing these ordinary pump trucks, trolls and the like were already negligible.
Because his experience decay was so severe, even if he killed tens or millions of ordinary greenskins, it would still be far from enough for him to level up by 1 level. It would be better to leave the opportunity to his subordinates.
Even Penthesilea was the same. After killing the attacker, she returned to Levi.
Even if she really wanted to pay off the debt as soon as possible, she had to know how to do it. There was really no point in killing these ordinary soldiers. She still had to defeat the powerful enemy.
And to be honest, even if Levi and his men did not take any action, with Khalida's current military strength, it would not be particularly difficult to defeat the enemy. It would only be a matter of losing troops and wasting time.
So Levi prepared for the next action while observing his subordinates' actions to see if there were any shortcomings.
After a check, he was very pleased to find that Donna and Luna were now fully capable of taking care of themselves.
Kerillian is a little worse, but the tactics of a flying archer are relatively simple. It is nothing more than being wary of enemy spells and arrows, keeping a distance from flying enemies, and implementing kite tactics.
Since all the enemy's air forces had been killed, many magic units would often be met with a rain of arrows from Donna and others as soon as they showed their heads, and they could not even save their lives, let alone launch an attack, so she was very relaxed now.
However, Zhou Miyin's performance was beyond Levi's expectations.
Obviously, there weren't many battles in the Thorn Town where he was stationed before. Usually, he just fought monsters at the city gate and killed rats in the sewers.
Apart from that, at most he would occasionally deal with the minions of the Prince of Lies, Cyric, and the God of Thieves, Mask.
But the younger brothers of the latter two have rarely appeared in the city recently.
Firstly, Levi had already specially arranged some patrol teams, and there was the local tyrant - the Red Brotherhood, as well as the Gaiding Tian clan, such as the Tiger Envoy and the Wolf Patrol, who had very sensitive hearing and sense of smell.
Basically, as soon as the thieves and assassins sent by the other side showed up, they would be surrounded by troops dozens of times their number that had been ambushed in advance, and they would not be able to make any waves at all.
So after several attempts, the two evil churches have now basically temporarily given up their attempts to retaliate against Thorn Town in this way.
On the other hand, even though these two churches were angry that Levi had snatched away the fruits of their victory, they were more envious of the Church of Wealth, after all, the other side was really rich.
Thorn Town is lost, but if we can rob the treasure house of the Church of Wealth, we might have enough money to build ten Thorn Towns.
But even so, Zhou Miyin's command ability has improved greatly. Li Wei can only think that Zhoujiazhai gave him some special treatment.
After all, Zhou Miyin should be regarded as the strongest person to come out of Zhoujiazhai, and their boss may not be much stronger than him. It is reasonable and just to train him more.
This also made Levi feel a lot more at ease, and at the same time he gave him a new idea.
According to Zhou Miyin's current abilities, it would be a waste if he were only kept as a guard in the Immortal Palace.
Perhaps, he can also take on more important tasks...
As for Kayle and the others, since they are all heroic blood elves this time, it is not a problem for them. As long as they stick together, the enemy will have no way to deal with them.
Then he thought about it and used the End of the Crusade again.
Through repeated use recently, he has gradually figured out some rules.
Generally speaking, if he used this move when there were no enemies in front of him, the beings he summoned would most likely be somewhat dissatisfied, unless they had particularly good tempers.
Because they would think that Levi wasted their time. If they did not accept Levi's call, they might have gone to other battlefields to fight against demons and other evils.
So after being reminded once by a chanting angel in a slightly dissatisfied tone, Levi realized his mistake.
Although he is busy all day long, the celestial beings who are also dedicated to fighting evil are not idle every day.
So after apologizing to the other party, he changed his strategy from then on and would only use this trick when he encountered an enemy.
Then, accompanied by a flash of light, a mature female voice like a poem sang: "Weilei has responded to the call, you are my...ah!"
With a loud "boom", a huge monster about ten meters in length, mixed with bursts of salty sea water, "squeezed" out of the magic circle.
Levi’s first reaction was: It’s so big!
At first glance, the other party was an oversized mermaid holding a lightning spear. The clothes on her body were almost exactly the same as her skin, with the black and white material making Levi unsure for a moment whether she was born with this ability.
But with this shape, color, and her tail, no matter how Levi looks at it, she looks like a whale.
And with this energy aura, the other party should be the Gaiding Celestial Clan, right?
Although he may not be as strong as the Dragon-Headed God Envoy, just by looking at his size and the surging energy in his body, one can know his approximate strength. He must be at least level 6 or even level 7.
"Oh, it's Lord Levi. Excuse me, I am the whale-bodied messenger from Paradise - Wei Lei!"
As she said this, Wei Lei stretched out her hand and cast a magic spell, shrinking her body a little, but still about two meters and five centimeters tall.
At the same time, there was a magical fountain surging under her, supporting her so that she did not have to touch the ground directly.
Levi also responded immediately: "I'm sorry, I didn't know there would be someone like you. It's rude of me to respond to my call under such circumstances."
But in fact, before making the summons, he had already explained in advance the environment he was in, the enemies he encountered, etc., but the other party still chose to accept it. It can only be said that she did it on purpose.
"It's okay. I want to meet the Celestial Mystic Master who has become famous recently , Lord Levi~"
As she spoke, Wei Lei stared at Levi with her eyes wide open, looking him up and down. At the same time, the system also prompted Levi that the other party agreed to sign an alliance with him in another world. She was quite decisive.
Levi could fully understand it, because while she was speaking, she winked at the Dragon-Headed Messenger next to her, and the Dragon-Headed Messenger also nodded slightly to him.
It seemed that even if they were not acquaintances, they had definitely dealt with each other before.
After all, apart from the Dragon-Headed Divine Envoy, the Whale-Bodied Divine Envoy is almost the strongest individual among the Gaiding Celestial Clan, and their numbers are also extremely rare, so it would be abnormal if there is no connection between them.
Levi took a quick look and found that the opponent was actually a level 7 elite soldier.
In addition to the series of abilities possessed by the Gaidingtian clan and her expertise in water battles, she also possesses spells such as ice cones and lightning beams. When fighting underwater, the power of these two types of spells will be enhanced to a certain extent.
Moreover, her melee ability is also quite good. After all, she has a large body size, and with 2,000 health points, she is quite durable.
Her most core and powerful ability is called Whale Roar Shock Wave, which combines the triple effects of cold, lightning and sound waves.
However, this move can only exert its maximum power underwater. If it is in a plain area like now, it can probably only exert about one-third of its power. It has almost no effect on beings above level 5.
But no matter what, with her presence, if we encounter a naval battle in the future, we will have a good trump card.
Although Weilei kept saying that she was able to help Levi even in a battle on the plains, how could Levi have the nerve to force her?
So after a few polite words, he gave her some elemental crystals as small gifts and let her go back.
At the same time, after a period of fierce fighting, the morale of the coalition forces of greenskins, goblins and ogres finally collapsed.
A large number of kobolds fled first, followed by the enemy troops and greenskins.
The greenskins are extremely warlike, but they are not stupid. When faced with an absolutely invincible enemy, or in the current situation, most of them will not choose to fight to the death.
However, without any heroic units to command them and without air force and cavalry to provide cover, their escape seemed somewhat ridiculous.
Levi didn't even need to say anything, Luna and several new female hunter heroes had already led their teams and started the pursuit.
But this time their pursuit seemed very cautious.
Because Levi had specifically reminded them that corpses are good things for both the undead and the ratmen.
In this current war, the total number of troops on both sides is close to 100,000. Even if one side is composed of mummies and skeletons, the corpses and souls left behind by the greenskins are enough to attract most beings below the legendary level.
They can certainly pursue, but their primary goal is to ensure their own safety and be careful of enemy sneak attacks.
The second is to ensure that the enemy is truly defeated, so that one can clean up the battlefield with greater peace of mind.
As for killing the enemy, it is the least important thing.
At the same time, some tomb generals also commanded the cat-shaped mummies and cemetery knights to attack in different directions.
Their speed is certainly much slower than that of the huntress, but if there are really other enemies such as the undead lurking around, they can join the battle as reinforcements.
But again, killing the enemy is no longer the main purpose now. They only want to ensure that they will not be ambushed by other enemies.
After leaving the finishing work to Donna and others and saying hello to Khalida, Levi did not ride on Xiaolan, but simply used invisibility and flying skills, and then took Penthesilea, Elegy, Cindy and the Dragon-Headed Messenger to catch up with some ogre-headed men.
The other party was the target he carefully selected. Their scales were as crystal clear as jade, which obviously showed that the green dragon blood in their bodies was extremely strong.
In previous battles, if these kobolds were magic units, the acid and wind magic they cast would have been much higher in proficiency and power.
If it is a warrior unit, its defense and health are far superior to other ordinary gnolls.
With both bloodline and strength, their identities and status among the gnolls must be relatively high, and the possibility of them knowing the green dragon's lair is naturally the highest.
So Levi wanted to try to follow them to see if he could find some treasure.
However, for some considerations, he finally chose to kill all the magic units and left only a few warriors.
Because according to the information he knew, kobolds are usually somewhat similar to dwarves. They are accustomed to hollowing out rocks and then building nests inside them for easy defense.
But the obvious difference is that the dwarves often build luxurious and sturdy underground castles. Even if humans or ogres come in as guests, there are spacious places for them to entertain them.
What the gnolls built was a maze, which was not only full of twists and turns, but also not conducive for ordinary people to pass through. With a normal person's body shape, it would be very difficult to turn around in the passage, let alone fight.
There are a large number of traps inside, as well as many special partitions, or relatively fragile buildings such as rope bridges.
In this way, when faced with a crisis, they would be able to simply cut off a road. They would never think of allowing outsiders to enter their labyrinth.
This is also one of the most important reasons why the Gnolls have been living a relatively stable life. It is too difficult to completely wipe them out, and there is basically no profit to be made.
Another reason, of course, is that the threat they pose to humans, elves and other intelligent creatures is not very high.
Apart from frequent fights with the goblins to resolve population and food problems on both sides, they basically only cause trouble for the dwarves.
Even though Levi is very powerful now, if he wants to track these ogres, it is better not to dig a hole but use some magic.
In order to avoid being noticed by the other party, it is natural to kill all the magic units.
After following for dozens of miles and circling the mountains three or four times, these cunning dog-headed men finally sneaked into a seemingly inconspicuous hillside.
Levi and the others also stopped temporarily. Ordinary gnolls were just over one meter tall, and their burrows were suitable for ordinary people to enter and exit freely. From now on, they could only rely on magic.
However, it doesn't look like there is a dragon's nest nearby at the moment.
The green dragon is so big, it’s impossible for it to crawl into the dog hole like the kobolds, right?
Well, considering the character that Green Dragon Valerie has shown before, it is not completely impossible. If she wants, she is also capable of transforming into a short person over one meter tall.
After more than half an hour, the Dragon God Messenger successfully used magic to draw a rather complicated route map.
After seeing it, everyone was more or less amazed. The complexity of the map was beyond their expectations.
Even if the Dragon Head Messenger drew the route based on the underground advance route of the dog-headed men just now, it was far from the entirety of their lair.
But judging from the appearance, there is probably a super dog hole below that is more than 300 meters deep and whose area is unknown how wide.
They also made an unexpected discovery. In addition to ordinary dog-headed men, there were some dog-headed men with wings that could fly, as well as some giant bats.
The Dragon Head Envoy also looked serious: "Levi, there are a lot of extremely weak life breaths in there, and they seem to be in a dormant state, but this scale is too abnormal. I feel at least more than 30,000 existences."
Levi nodded: "Kobolds are cold-blooded animals. When they are short of food, they may enter a special dormant state like snakes."
"But this number is too much."
Then his first thought was: They seem to have caught a big fish!
Strictly speaking, before the greenskins caused trouble, this range of mountains was the territory of the dwarves. Although there were some alien races, they were generally under the control of the dwarves.
Gnolls, ratmen, goblins, trolls and the like are not uncommon in the wild, but they have never heard of such a huge kobold nest!
You have to know that there are two legendary dwarves in Iron Peak Fort. With their abilities, they didn’t notice anything unusual here. What does that mean?
It is possible that they were really careless and did not notice at all that there were so many enemies hiding under their noses.
But this possibility is too small. A hole this big could not be built in a day. How could there be no movement at all?
Levi is more inclined to the second possibility, that is, there is a super-powerful guy who uses special powers to cover up all abnormal signs!
Obviously, the Green Dragon Valerie could never do this, but Levi had already roughly guessed the possible target.
Normally, because they do have a weak trace of dragon blood, the theoretical upper limit of the lifespan of a kobold can reach about 120 years.
But because of their low intelligence and extremely weak fighting ability, their actual average lifespan is ridiculously short, and too many of them die from various accidents and battles.
Living for ten or eight years is still like a baby to long-lived races such as elves and dwarves, or even humans.
But for the Kobolds, people of this age are basically super veterans.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for them to contribute much power of faith.
Fortunately, the kobolds reproduce quickly enough because they are an egg-laying species.
Gnolls can lay eggs after half a month of gestation, and the incubation time is about 1-2 months, which allows them to replenish their members quickly enough.
Just like the ratmen, what limits the growth of the kobolds is not just wisdom and strength, but more about food.
As long as there is enough food, their numbers can grow rapidly and they can then capture cities and territories.
What was lacking in quality was made up for in quantity, and so after a long time, three gods were born among the gnolls.
The main god of the kobolds is Kurtulmak, the god of mining, traps and tricks. He has medium power and is also known as the "Dwarf Killer".
The cause was that the dwarf god once played a joke and collapsed the cave where Kurtulmak slept, which seriously damaged Kurtulmak's confidence in trickery and mining.
Then the kobolds and dwarves became mortal enemies, and all the kobolds would attack frantically and try to kill all the dwarves within sight.
But because of their kind nature, dwarves are not warlike, so they usually only passively defend and counterattack.
It is worth mentioning that Kurtulmak once successfully ambushed the goddess of the flying feather tribe, Saranata, and seized her wings.
This caused her strength to drop drastically in a short period of time, and she was in a weak state for a period of time afterwards.
But Kurtulmak's victory ended there, because at this time, the Moon Queen of the Zhendan pantheon extended a helping hand to Saranata and successfully absorbed her into the Zhendan pantheon.
Since then, Kurtumark has been living in fear, because Saranata, who has a powerful backing, will of course think of revenge.
Next came the two kobold demigods, the first being Gaiknura, the god of deception, ambushes and traps.
Gnolls are naturally good at mining and setting traps. When Levi first arrived, he was fooled by them once.
But there are also traps in the duties of the main god Kurtulmak, which is why the upper limit of this god of traps is largely locked.
He has no military achievements in the past and looks like a very ordinary demigod. There is nothing much to say about him.
Finally, there is the demigod - K'Oyek, who is a racial god and commands the bat-winged kobolds.
He used to be Kurtulmak's servant. Just when Kurtulmak defeated Saranata, took her wings, and was very proud of it, he didn't know that this guy was lurking in the dark.
No one knows the exact process, but the result is that Keoyek successfully stole the fruits of victory.
With the wings of Saranatha and the many treasures collected by Kurtulmak, he became a demigod and the patron saint of bat-winged kobolds.
Yes, he is the final winner.
The furious Kurtumark would certainly not let this despicable traitor and thief go easily, so the war between the two sides has been going on for a long time.
At the same time, Saranata is also working hard to find her lost wings.
Even after joining the Zhendan pantheon and becoming the Moon Queen's adjutant and subordinate god, she received many gifts and rewards, so not only did her injuries heal, but her strength was also greatly improved. However, if she could get her wings back, she would of course only become stronger.
What's more, this also involves many aspects such as her honor and face.
But despite this, after so many years, no trace of the demigod Bat-Winged Kobold God has been found, let alone killed.
It's not that he is really that strong, but that he hides himself very well.
But now, Levi vaguely felt that he had cracked the secret, or at least part of it.
Kurtumark and Saranata have been searching for each other in many dimensions. They probably never imagined that the other party would be hiding in the main world, right?
