Since both parties are very decisive people, once the decision was made, they naturally chose to execute it immediately.
So before Levi could even stand firmly, and even before the ratmen on the top floor of the fortress city were completely killed, he had already followed Belegar and went down to try to recapture the King's Hall.
However, the troops around them this time were obviously much smaller.
Belegar only brought with him a number of dwarven ancestral spirits, a hundred Ironbreakers, and five teams of Iron Dragonhand artillerymen and Thunder Gunners.
It's not just because the pressure behind the fortress city will be very great and a large number of troops will be needed here, but also because he knows that after going down, perhaps not so many troops will be needed.
There are many narrow secret passages in the dwarf's underground fortress. Often, only one Ironbreaker Warrior is needed in the front, with 2-3 Iron Dragonhand artillerymen taking turns to spray flames, to resist hundreds or thousands of times more ratmen or goblins.
The battle will not end until the Iron Dragon Hand artillery runs out of fuel or the enemy collapses completely. This is a tactic that the dwarves have tried and tested.
The reason why it gradually became less effective was that the ratmen began to use poisons, plagues and warpstones, as well as the assassins of the Clan of Eshin, which could all pose a serious threat to the Ironbreakers.
But now he has the ancestral spirits who are completely immune to the plague and conventional poisons, as well as the Ironbreakers, and with Levi, the powerful celestial mystic, this tactic can still regain its effectiveness.
But for Levi, even with the illumination of the Holy Light of the Sky, there were still too many shadows below, which was very conducive to the actions of a dark race like the Ratmen.
There's no need to risk sending fragile magic units like Michaela over here.
Therefore, this time, in addition to the supervisors who had to command the Tiger Envoy and the Rat Envoy, he also brought Penthesilea, Elegy, Cindy, Martis, Mortidi and others, who were very capable of self-protection.
Then, as expected, almost at the beginning, they were attacked by the ratmen.
Plague, magic, warpstone, assassins of Clan Eshin...
Basically, the rats used all the methods they could.
But for Levi and Belegar, who formed a strong alliance, most of them were useless.
Conventional attacks could hardly cause much damage to Belegar or the dwarf ancestors.
Their original defense against magic was relatively poor, but after traveling with Levi, this problem was greatly alleviated.
Even if the rats used some poisons and skills specifically to try to slow down the speed of Belegar and others, Levi could solve the problem with a simple purification because of the negative effects.
After the attack failed, some ratmen still wanted to escape by relying on their own agility.
This trick has worked for them in the past, after all, dwarves have never been known for their speed or agility.
But at this time, it was Motriti's turn to show off her power.
As an assassin, she has far superior equipment, strength and skills than her opponents. Even though she is not as familiar with the surrounding environment as her opponents, she can still easily kill most of the rat assassins.
Even if there are some fish that slip through the net occasionally, they will never escape Levi's light net and the hammer of justice that follows.
Therefore, despite all the attempts of the rat people, it was actually difficult to even slow down their progress.
No matter how deep and winding the tunnel was, their actual speed of travel was still extremely fast, and they soon approached the King's Hall.
At this time, Belejia in front slowed down a little: "Levi, be careful, the King's Hall is almost 20 meters high and covers an area of ​​more than a thousand square meters."
The King's Hall is an important place for the King to hold meetings and meet with envoys from other forces, so it naturally cannot be too shabby.
Levi nodded: "So we have to be careful of the Great White Bear and the sneak attacks of the rat people."
A spacious venue would undoubtedly be more conducive for the ratmen to take advantage of their military strength, and the area of ​​the King's Hall was also most suitable for the Great White Bear to fight.
So Levi could be 100% sure that once they appeared in the King's Hall, they would definitely face the enemy's most violent attack.
But this was not a big problem. Levi asked everyone to replenish their buffs, then summoned several teams of Death Guards and ordered them to walk in the front to act as cannon fodder.
The celestial creatures led by the supervisors strengthened their vigilance with all their strength, and some shadow elements that had never appeared in front of the rat people before escaped into the shadows behind Levi.
As special incorporeal creatures, when necessary, their bodies can shrink to a very small size, enough to hide a large number of them.
If there are some rat people who think they are smart and dare to launch a sneak attack at this time, they will definitely get an unexpected surprise.
As for the rest, it is nothing more than meeting the enemy with our troops and blocking the water with earth!
As expected, when they were ready and sent the Death Guards to enter the King's Hall first, all kinds of spells, including at least twenty or thirty kinds of long-range attacks, came like a storm.
There are so many varieties that even Levi couldn't recognize them all.
Almost as soon as they came into contact, the first few teams of Death Guards that went out were shattered into rubble on the ground, but Levi had enough Death Guards on his body, so he didn't feel anything at all.
What's more, they are used to delay time!
With several muffled sounds, the entire King's Hall trembled. The three-headed Sphinx had descended and blocked more than 90% of the ratmen's attacks in an instant.
The ancestral heroic spirit, who had been prepared for a long time, roared, raised his shield and launched the charge first.
And Belegar once again used his ability as a god to attract considerable attention.
Next came Mortidi and Maltis. Although they were confident in their abilities, they were not arrogant. Of course, they let the dwarves with stronger defenses charge first, and they followed.
Elegy and Penthesilea also protected Levi on the left and right, following behind.
As he walked, Levi activated more Death Guards. They were indispensable whether they were used to attract fire, kill enemies, or defend the King's Hall later.
But he was a little puzzled as to why he didn't hear any bear roars?
Is it because Wang Jerry exposed the information that the rats temporarily moved the great white bear, or are these cunning rats preparing a new trap?
Thinking of this, Levi became more vigilant.
But until he successfully stepped into the King's Hall and saw the extremely fierce battlefield in front of him, he still had not encountered any attacks.
After the Sphinx attracted most of the firepower, Belegar and the ancestral spirits were like tigers among a flock of sheep, killing nearly a hundred enemies in succession.
The Ironbreakers also threw out explosive packs one after another, and amidst the muffled noises, they had created at least several hundred corpses.
In comparison, although the achievements of Mortiti and Maltis were far inferior to those of the dwarves in terms of numbers alone, their targets were mainly the elites among the enemies.
After taking a quick look around, Levi couldn't help but be surprised to see the rats retreating step by step and seemingly on the verge of complete collapse at any time.
Would the rats so easily give up the King's Hall, which has extremely special significance to the dwarves?
And he never attacks me by surprise?
But when he thought about it, he immediately understood that the other party might have seen through the strength of Sister Peng and Wange.
The rats were not sure they could hurt or even kill themselves under their protection, so they would hold back and continue to wait for a new opportunity.
If you want to deal with the other party as soon as possible, you can only take the initiative to give the other party a chance...
Thinking of this, Li Wei winked at Wange, indicating that she should take Sister Peng with her to help first.
Out of long-standing tacit understanding, Elegy immediately knew that he was going to set a trap for the enemy again.
So she didn't say much. Although Penthesilea next to her was still a little confused, she was not stupid and soon followed Elegy to the battlefield.
After these days of contact, she has deeply understood a truth: Levi may not be omnipotent or almighty, but in most cases, at least you won't suffer any loss if you listen to him!
After the two of them left, Levi left behind a few Wild Horse Envoys and summoned a team of Death Guards.
Then he prepared to walk towards a dark corner, as if he had made up his mind to rely on the terrain there for defense.
His choice was not wrong, because that was the only direction without any ratmen.
And according to the current situation, Belegar, who is in the state of a god descending from heaven, is unstoppable, and their victory is only a matter of time.
But he hadn't walked a few dozen meters when the ground around him suddenly collapsed, accompanied by a series of rat-men's unique giggles and squeaks.
First, dozens of Clan Eshin assassins and storm rats swarmed out and surrounded him.
Then, the rats around, who had been beaten back step by step, launched a desperate counterattack, squeaking and screaming, as if they had received some order.
Unfortunately, this level of attack was nothing to Levi. He had already guessed that such a clean corner must have been left for him by the rats.
He himself did not even focus on them. With just a thought, the many shadow elements that had been hiding behind him had already pounced on the assassins of Clan Esin and immediately caused certain casualties.
Although the shadow elements do not seem to have any special performance due to their own positioning and relatively low intelligence, the strongest among them are real level 6 soldiers, which are more than enough to deal with these ratmen.
At this time, with a roar, a knight covered in heavy armor and extremely strong, riding a three-meter-long white bear, which seemed to be surrounded by ice mist, came out along the passage dug by the rats.
He held a golden shield in his left hand and an icy scimitar in his right hand. Although his hair was disheveled, one could still roughly tell that he was a human .
Without saying a word, the bear and the knight charged towards Levi with red eyes.
Behind the knight, there was a pair of wing-like ornaments. As he charged, the wings moved like real wings, making bursts of whistling sounds that tore through the air.
Seeing this, Levi's mouth twitched. Before, he had been talking about finding a way to get in touch with the bear god, Ersun, and now the opportunity had come to him.
Although the other party's identity is not clear yet, his appearance is very obvious. He must be a Winged Hussar from Kislev!
Among the special forces of Kislev, the War Bear Cavalry is naturally the most famous, followed by the Winged Hussars, and of course there are also some special War Bear Winged Hussars.
But no matter what, the other party is able to ride on what appears to be a great white bear, so his strength and status are definitely not too weak.
But the knight and his mount had red eyes, filled with anger and frenzy. Had they been bewitched by the evil power of the ratmen?
Although he had some emotions and doubts in his heart, Levi did not delay his business at all. He used a king's rook castling to teleport to a place dozens of meters away, and then summoned two sphinxes to stop the white bear and the knight.
At the same time, a team of snake girls appeared in front and behind him.
Next came the high-level Red Flame Envoy and the Dragon Head God Envoy. Today, he has more and more cards to use.
Unfortunately, if it weren't for the fight against evil beings from other worlds such as demons or devils, the Messengers of Mercy would hardly go into battle, because the leaders of the three major celestial clans would try their best to avoid getting involved in the confrontation between the gods and their believers.
Otherwise, this battle might be easier.
But despite this, it is enough to temporarily resist the opponent.
The white bear and the knight were stopped by the Sphinx, but the well-prepared Elegy brought Penthesilea back and together they stopped the other side.
Although the white bear roared continuously, forcing the Sphinxes to retreat again and again, with gravel flying all over their bodies, it was still unable to break through the interception by force.
Belegar on the other side also looked over frequently, obviously intending to join the battle immediately if things got out of control.
The snake women also brandished their swords and scimitars, reaping the lives of the surrounding ratmen as quickly as a whirlwind of steel.
The ratmen's raid was futile and the war was quickly stabilized.
After Levi summoned some celestial creatures, he began to support the battlefields in other directions.
Because just after the White Bear Knight appeared, the ratmen from other directions also received hundreds of reinforcements.
Although the number is small, there are two new types of soldiers.
One type is a group of guys who dual-wield daggers or short-handled maces, covered in blood and vomit, and look very disgusting. They are plague monks from the Plague Clan.
After being transformed by many potions and plagues, their bodies were covered with diseases, and they had lost their sense of pain, reason, fear, etc.
Although it is only level 4 and has low health and defense, it can still be a very qualified cannon fodder and can spread diseases, etc.
The second type is an advanced version of the Plague Monk, the Level 5 Plague Censer Monk.
There is not much improvement in their health and defense, the biggest change is their weapons.
Some special ones have flails with small metal incense burners at the end.
This weapon not only greatly increases their attack power, but more importantly, all incense burners emit a dazzling green light from the inside out, carrying dimensional stones that have been transformed by evil forces.
Being hit, or simply getting too close, will poison you and cause your appearance to change horribly.
Some of the weaker dwarves not only felt powerless all over, but even the exposed skin on their faces began to develop pustules, which then festered and rotted.
As for the injuries, pain, weakness, etc. suffered as a result, there is naturally no need to mention them.
Such a change occurred after only a few rounds of fighting. One can imagine how evil and terrifying the opponent's weapons are.
The dwarven ancestral spirits are immune to this influence, but their numbers are too small to take care of the entire battlefield.
Fortunately, Levi was there and he could continue to perform purification.
Unfortunately, conventional protective magic seemed unable to resist the opponent's evil power, which made Levi extremely busy.
At this moment, the white bear, which had been blocked, suddenly let out a shrill roar, and then its entire body quickly swelled up as if it were inflated.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant with a body length of more than 10 meters. Then it stood up directly and even threw the knight on its back away.
Seeing it take a deep breath and its chest begin to swell rapidly, Elegy, Penthesilea and the others immediately knew what it was going to do.
There is no doubt that it can only be breath!
Belegar couldn't help but roar when he saw this, and prepared to use Storm Hammer to forcibly interrupt the opponent's attack.
But at this moment, a new group of assassins emerged from underground, some rushed towards Belegar, and some rushed towards Levi.
At the same time, a large group of spear slaves and clan rats acting as cannon fodder also rushed up, seemingly wanting to provide some cover for the assassins.
Although Belegar immediately killed the enemy who blocked his way with several hammer strikes, he was still a step too late.
The next moment, biting ice rushed out like a glacier. Wange and the others naturally dodged it in advance, but the two Sphinxes were far from being so flexible and were frozen into two big lumps on the spot.
The white bear roared again, like a mountain falling down, and it smashed the ice and the sphinx in it into countless pieces.
Seeing this scene, Elegy and Levi couldn't help but frown.
Although the Sphinx's strength can only be described as average among various war beasts, the fact that the white bear killed them so easily still fully demonstrated its power.
If these two slaps were given to someone else, they would probably have turned into a layer of meat paste on its paws, right?
Even Penthesilea was a little stunned. She was a legendary defensive warrior, but it was difficult for her to withstand such a big slap.
Of course, there was no need for her to resist head-on. Given the opponent's current size, it would be extremely difficult to hit her!
But this move seemed to have consumed a lot of the white bear's energy, and its body size returned to its original size.
Then it was immediately besieged by Belegar, Elegy and Penthesilea, and in the blink of an eye, its white fur was dyed blood red.
Mortidi looked at the knight on the ground. After separating from the white bear, the red light in his eyes seemed to have dissipated a lot, and now he seemed a little confused.
Maybe, she can hold him back on her own!
Seeing that the situation over there seemed to have calmed down a little, Levi also asked the Dragon Head Messenger to help Mortiti, and it would be best if they could find a way to restore the knight to normal.
He also sent high-level Red Flame Envoys out to reinforce the supervisors. No matter the supervisors themselves or the low- and medium-level celestial creatures he brought with him, they were not enough in this melee.
After this distribution, it seemed that there were no special subordinates with strong strength around him.
So he was treated as a soft persimmon. Groups of ratmen began to attack him desperately. Even the slave rats, who were the weakest and most afraid of death, bravely rushed forward.
However, their strength was too weak after all, and they were unable to cross the curtain of swords formed by the snake women.
At this moment, another group of slave rats rushed up with several teams of plague incense monks. It seemed that the rats wanted to use the rat sea tactics and fatigue tactics to win.
But Levi's eyes suddenly focused, and he noticed that among the group of slave rats, there was a guy with a skull on his head as a helmet.
It looked very inconspicuous, with tattered clothes and a spear made of wood. There was no energy fluctuation on its body, and it seemed no different from its other companions.
But a sense of alarm arose in his heart. It was not his instinctive warning, but a reminder from the doomed girl, as well as a hint of disgust!
Even though she didn't say a word herself, she was able to draw her attention, even just a little bit, which was enough to show that the other party was definitely not an ordinary slave rat!
Levi was a little surprised at first, then he suddenly understood why the dwarves of Iron Peak Fort had not discovered the army of the Grinning Clan until now, because they had taken a detour to the Eight Peaks Mountain!
If nothing unexpected happens, the guy opposite is the legendary ratman of the Grinning Clan - Trites Feartail.
Only when it is frequently favored by luck would it be worth the unfortunate girl to remind herself of it.
While his mind was racing, Levi remained calm on the surface and just cast his magic as usual to kill the Plague Censer Monk who seemed to pose a greater threat.
But in fact, he was secretly contacting the Crystal Vanguard and telling it his needs clearly.
Even if it has never wanted to show its cards, now that the time has come for it to be needed, shouldn't it really show some strength?
The Crystal Vanguard said nothing, just raised his pincers and danced happily, even doing a backflip.
Despite being in a rather chaotic battlefield, it seemed to be in a good mood.
But it’s no wonder. No matter who wins or loses, it obviously won’t have much impact on it.
Levi was determined in his heart, so without any warning, he started with a three-item set including a light net, and at the same time Xiao Qi also flew over with a light net.
Then, the Crystal Vanguard, who seemed to be having a lot of fun, also fired a crystal spike, and arrived first, crystallizing the target on the spot.
Levi didn't even have time to activate the legion's flag. He just threw out the Hammer of Justice and shouted loudly: "Sister Peng! Belegar! Help me!"
The two who heard the voice turned their heads subconsciously and immediately noticed the rat man with a crystal-like appearance that looked quite dazzling.
Although they had no idea why Levi was targeting it so specifically, out of trust in Levi, they still provided support as soon as possible.
Penthesilea pulled back, reached behind her, and threw three in a row, while Belegar directly swung out the Storm Hammer.
First there were several crisp sounds, and three spears pierced through the opponent's entire body one after another. Then there was a slightly dull collision and cracking sound, and the broken crystal, along with the ratman's hand, foot and half of his shoulder, all flew out together.
But despite this fierce attack, the target did not die, but seemed to be aroused to ferocity.
It desperately used its remaining limbs to crawl towards the passage not far away, and at the same time did not forget to curse Levi: "Go to hell, you hairless boy, die, the Horned Rat will be watching you, yes, yes!"
But Levi, who was scolded, was not displeased at all. He just pointed at a distance and a green light flew out .
In an instant, all the rat man's movements stopped.
At this moment, a storm rat nearby was knocked away by the spirit of a dwarf ancestor.
So, in full view of everyone, the ratman who was suspected to be Trites Feartail was easily shattered like an illusion in the wind.
Even most of its weapons and equipment were completely destroyed, leaving only a little ash and the skull helmet falling to the ground.
The Storm Rat suddenly let out a series of rapid and terrified cries. It had no idea what was happening.
But Levi smiled, and sure enough, the girl of doom had her eyes on the other person.
It was obvious that under normal circumstances, the dissociation technique would hardly be effective against a legendary level being. Even if it was effective, it would most likely only be able to dissociate some limbs. But now the opponent was so unlucky that he was killed instantly and turned into ashes.
Levi immediately asked a shadow element to pick up the helmet, and then cast several large-scale magic spells to either repel or kill the surrounding ratmen.
Then he appeared next to Mortiti through a magical door and began to summon the Messenger of Mercy.
Ever since being thrown off by the white bear, the other party has been in a trance here and didn't even attack Mortiti. It is obvious that there is a possibility of saving him.
Under normal circumstances, the Messenger of Mercy would not kill these ratmen himself, but it would be okay to ask him to help save the innocent people controlled by the ratmen, right?
It was not until this moment that the surrounding rats seemed to truly realize what was happening.
"Lord Weiwei is dead!"
"Squeak, squeak, the enemy is too strong, we are no match for them!"
"Retreat, retreat to the treasure house!"
"Wait until the powerful headhunter comes back, and then I'll make the short stacks and pointy ears look good!"
"Yes, yes!"
Following a series of panicked cries from the ratmen, the ratmen army, which was already frightened by the difficulty of the battle and too many casualties among its friendly forces, finally collapsed completely.
Faced with the coalition forces' attack, they didn't even think about parrying or dodging, but just started to flee outwards from multiple exits.
But the exit is so small, and the crowded rats will only make them die faster. At this time, the Iron Dragon Hand artillerymen began to show their power.
Not counting the underground passage dug by the other side, the King's Hall originally had only five normal exits. As long as they blocked that place, they hardly had to aim.
It was not until this time that Belegar and the others fully understood what Levi and they had just done together.
Belegar burst into laughter. "It turned out to be Trites Weiwei from the Grinning Clan? Levi, you have given me another big surprise!"
Although he is a legend, Tritus Weiwei's combat capability is very average.
It even spread rumors for quite some time that it was only level 15, but no one in the outside world doubted it at all.
Its real strength lies in its excellent hiding ability and its outrageous luck.
It is not only reflected in the general direction during the war phase, but also in ordinary battles.
For example, when it is attacked, it may just fall down, not only avoiding the enemy's attack, but also finding the enemy's weakness and then turning defeat into victory.
Anyone would feel a headache if encountering such a rogue enemy.
But now, not only was Levi easily able to see through the other party's disguise, but he was also unable to put up any resistance or struggle from beginning to end.
I have to say, this way of dying is probably the most frustrating way for it, right?
Just as he was distracted, Belegar was hit head-on by the white bear. He flew out like a cannonball, crashed into the west wall, and was embedded in it.
A large human-sized hole was punched into the rock wall.
But the next moment, Belegar jumped out and bravely charged towards the white bear again.
In the state of a god descending from heaven, his attack, defense, magic resistance, etc. have all been improved to a level that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
In addition, he himself is a legendary warrior with luxurious equipment, so he can barely endure this level of attack.
But he didn't have much chance to show his ability because Levi had already summoned the Messenger of Mercy.
Levi didn't even need to say anything, the Messenger of Mercy flew over, held down the big white bear with one hand, and exerted a special power of purification.
Then as the platinum-colored light flashed, the red light in the eyes of the polar bear that was already fighting fiercely began to fade rapidly.
Then he repeated his old trick and cast Purification on the knight who was still standing there in a daze.
Belegar, Penthesilea and others retreated upon seeing this, but they still held their weapons and remained on guard.
A few seconds later, the big white bear was the first to regain consciousness. It looked around and recalled everything it had experienced before. It whimpered and lay down.
He even covered his eyes with his front paws, looking as if he was too embarrassed to face anyone.
At the same time, its body was shrinking rapidly, and soon it became a mini bear about half a meter long.
This performance stunned Belegar. How could the monster that was so tall and ferocious just now be like a puppy now?
However, Elegy and Penthesilea beside them were somewhat excited. I have to say, it was quite cute...
Then the knight, who had a scruffy beard and hadn't washed his hair or face for who knows how many days, also recovered.
With a wry smile, he put down his weapon, folded his hands across his chest, and bowed deeply to the Messenger of Mercy and Levi.
"Thank you for saving me from the wrong path. Ivan Pokaha from Kislev pays my sincerest respects to you. May the great motherland always protect you!"
