Although he had already guessed it in his mind, Levi couldn't help but feel happy after it was confirmed.
Because Bokaha is the surname of the royal family of Kislev, the real identity of Ivan should actually be the prince of Kislev, or the prince.
He is the son of the previous ruler of Kislev, the Red Tsar Boris Ersun Pokaha, and the brother of the current ruler, the Tsarina, the Ice Queen Katerin Pokaha.
He was once the most famous sword master in Kislev and the leader of the strongest winged cavalry regiment - the Griffin Knights.
It can be said that no matter his identity, status, personal combat power, or command ability, he was all very outstanding, and he did not have any particularly major shortcomings. He was even once regarded as the next Tsar.
But that was several years ago. He later voluntarily gave up all his glory and even gave the throne of Tsar to his sister, and chose to wander alone.
Well, not entirely, because his sister is also incredibly strong in every aspect. She is the most powerful ice witch in Kislev.
Even if this scope is expanded to all human beings, or even the entire main world, it may be applicable. She is fully qualified to become the tsar.
Although he voluntarily gave up these, his sister still retained his identity and status as a prince.
But most of the Kislevites are accustomed to calling him the Wandering Red Prince, because he usually likes all kinds of adventures and is still wandering.
Of course, there is no family grudge or complicated conspiracy here. The relationship between the brothers and sisters has always been good. The reason why the Red Prince made such a choice is entirely because of guilt and self-blame.
Because he drank too much vodka and kvass once, his Griffin Legion failed to provide timely support to the Red Tsar who was out fighting the Kurgan bandits, resulting in the entire army being wiped out and their bodies disappearing.
In fact, under normal circumstances, for the Red Tsar, who was once specially given the surname Ersun by the Bear God and is also a legendary level, it would not be a problem for him to fight against thousands of ordinary Kurgans alone.
He didn't need the Red Prince's support at all, not to mention that he himself had the Tsar's Guards and the War Bear Cavalry Guards.
But on that occasion, it was not known whether the Kurgans went mad for power and sacrificed hundreds or thousands of people, or whether the demons were simply in a better mood, or whether the demons also went mad.
In short, not only did the Kurgans gain tremendous power, but the demon army also arrived.
The Red Tsar didn't know how many demons he had killed, but when the Red Prince arrived, the ground was littered with corpses of both enemies and our own people and the ashes of demons, but the Red Tsar himself was nowhere to be seen.
But his weapons, armor, and his favorite war bear mount, which had been beaten unconscious, were found at the scene.
In this case, we can basically only conclude that he is dead.
Even the bear god, Ersun, remained silent on this.
But only the Red Prince firmly believed that his father was not dead because there was no body.
So, probably to atone his sins, he gave up all his honors and status, let his sister succeed him to the throne, and began to wander around looking for the Red Tsar, which made him more worthy of the title of the Wandering Red Prince.
But how did he get involved with the Great White Bear now?
Although they are all bears, Kislev of the bear god Ersun is still far away from the North Pole.
When Levi asked this, the Red Prince smiled bitterly again: "Because when I was searching for my father, I accidentally found the frozen Blood Tsarine. What's more coincidental is that there were several powerful vampires trying to revive her at that time."
The Blood Tsar was a cruel queen who once ruled Kislev for hundreds of years. Later people discovered that she was actually a vampire, which was why she was so powerful and lived so long.
Although Kislev and the Sigmar Empire joined forces to drive him off the throne, this is still a shame that Kislevites cannot erase.
It is worth mentioning that the Bloody Tsar’s body was never found at that time.
Faced with hordes of vampires and the corpse of the Blood Queen, the Red Prince felt that he seemed to have vaguely found some clues.
So even though he knew he was no match for his opponent, the Red Prince had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward.
Then he was beaten up badly and used magic to escape at the critical moment.
However, the teleportation magic was eventually disrupted by the vampire, causing his destination to deviate greatly. He flew directly to the North Pole, and by coincidence, he was rescued by the great white bear.
The great white bear wanted the red prince to work for it in return for saving .
In fact, up to this point, the Red Prince has been treated as the protagonist.
Although it is almost impossible for the Great White Bear to defeat multiple legendary vampires, it has lived for more than a thousand years after all, and has rich knowledge and experience.
Whether it is teaching the Red Prince or joining forces with the Red Prince, there is a high chance that it will play out a story of Prince's Revenge.
Unfortunately, the Horned Rat soon managed to get over and captured the Great White Bear, and the Red Prince became an extra.
The power of faith and other things that were valuable to God in the Great White Bear were all taken away, and the Great White Bear was thus degenerated into a mortal entity with substance.
Its power has also dropped significantly, and now it is not even a hero unit, but just a tier 7 elite.
If Levi had not come, the Red Prince and the Great White Bear, who were also bound, might have been subjected to some experiments by the Corrupted Clan. They originally wanted to splice the two of them together to create a half-human, half-bear creature.
But the battle in Bafeng Mountain was urgent at the moment, so they were fed a large amount of messy magic potions and dimensional stones, and then thrown out to fight Levi and the others.
After hearing his story, Belegar next to him felt his blood boiling and he wished he could take his place.
But the great white bear not far away, no, now it's the mini bear, whimpered and shrank into a ball even more, because the Red Prince had not yet told him some details.
Although being captured by the Horned Rat, who was a god, was not a shameful thing, being experimented on by some ratmen was another matter.
Even if Levi and the others had arrived a few days later, it might have been forced to mate with those rat trolls.
The power of the Great Horned Rat is totally beyond its ability to resist...
Levi was more concerned about the issue of vampires. Maybe it was Dracula's doing again.
Unfortunately, after some inquiries, he learned with great regret that the Red Prince only recognized the leader among them as the ruler of Sylvania - Manfred, and he did not recognize the rest.
Moreover, the other party did not have any special marks, so Levi had no way of judging the other party's specific identity.
But no matter what, since they have mobilized such a large force, Levi must realize that Dracula's camp may be joined by another legendary vampire.
"So, what are your plans next?"
The Red Prince said without hesitation: "Of course I will repay the favor of saving my life first, and then take revenge on Manfred and other vampires. After that, I will continue to look for my father's whereabouts."
The mini bear next to it also nodded hurriedly, indicating that it was the same.
The Red Prince quickly explained: "Not only has a large part of its power been taken away, but it has also lost the ability to speak."
At the same time, in a direction that the little bear couldn't see, he also made a gesture to Levi, indicating that there seemed to be something wrong with its brain because of this...
Levi nodded secretly, he actually saw it too.
If it was the great polar bear under normal circumstances, it would be an old fellow who had lived for more than a thousand years and was one of the four great servants of the Arctic God. It was impossible for it to appear so childish.
Even if it doesn't care about its face, it still has to consider the other three and the face of the God of the Arctic.
Perhaps as its strength and intelligence decrease, its instinct to be cute is awakened in order to survive.
After all, they are nominally the four divine servants, but in fact they were all just pets of the Arctic God in the beginning.
But now that I've turned into this silly and cute look, it's easier for me to fool it...
Even though it is not even a hero, it can be seen from the battle just now that its level 7 is completely different from the Sphinx's level 7.
However, Levi still turned his head and looked at the Messenger of Mercy who had also been listening for a long time, wanting to confirm it.
Even if the power of faith is gone, the brain won’t work very well, but if the original knowledge and memory are still retained, it will still be of great value.
But the Messenger of Mercy shook his head. He could not judge these because he felt a power above him, which was the work of the Horned Rat.
Levi could only give up temporarily and see if there would be a chance in the future to let Lilith give it a comprehensive inspection again.
During this period, let it follow us.
Then Levi looked at the Crystal Vanguard again, wanting to ask it if it could help take care of the great white bear.
But the Crystal Vanguard seemed not to see it at all and just danced on its own.
Levi was 100% sure that it was not that it didn't understand what he meant, it was just too lazy to take care of it. So he could only trouble Sister Peng first.
After casting some healing spells on the Red Prince and giving him some time to take care of his personal hygiene, the dwarves here almost completely killed all the enemies in the King's Hall.
The evaluation of a resounding victory was justified, but what Levi cared more about was the reward for defeating Trites Weiwei.
First of all, there are 5 points of legendary level. Although it is far less than the original black Arkhan, for Levi who aspires to become a god, the more the better.
Next comes a special title - terrified.
Effect 1, movement speed +12% (upper limit 12);
Effect 2: When fighting against ratmen, gain the passive skill - Spread Fear.
(Trites Feartail is best at turning around and running away when the battle is not going well, and then waiting for an opportunity to turn around and kill the enemy. Because it is extremely fast and lucky, it is almost always successful.
Unfortunately, luck does not always favor it. This time it lost its life to its opponent. All the ratmen who heard about this incident will be terrified.)
Neither effect is very useful. Even without spreading fear, the morale of the ratmen themselves is notoriously low.
The effect of increasing the movement speed is even more ridiculous. The upper limit is only 12, but with Xiaolan's strength, it has exceeded 400 at full speed.
The reason why it failed to truly demonstrate this speed was simply because it was worried that it would accidentally throw Levi away.
However, this title is consistent with Weiwei's status in many legends. It is just a guy who relies on luck for a living, and its own strength is not worth mentioning.
Next is the helmet of Feartail, an epic good luck skull helmet.
It itself does not improve defense much, but it comes with a special passive skill - Lucky Favor, Luck +3, and a lower chance of dodging all attacks.
According to the description, the goddess of luck once blessed the owner of the skull. After the owner died, Weiwei got the owner's head by coincidence and made it into a helmet, thus inheriting some of the luck.
In this regard, Levi can only say that the goddess of luck doesn't seem to be very reliable...
In addition, the Weiwei may have other equipment that improves luck, or it may have the power of luck itself. In short, after a variety of reasons are combined, it has become a legend relying on luck.
Unfortunately, once it attracted the attention of the Damsel of Doom, it was doomed to die.
Under normal circumstances, the Doom Girl might not have time to deal with it, but since she has encountered it, she will certainly not let it go on purpose.
Now that I have it, should I use it at the risk of offending the girl of doom, or use it to please the girl of doom?
This is actually not a very difficult decision. A little more luck can only be icing on the cake for Levi.
But if the Girl of Misfortune is angered by this and you lose the skills she gave you, that would be a huge loss.
So Levi quickly held a very simple ceremony and sacrificed the helmet to the girl of doom.
Almost all the churches of gods have sacrifice ceremonies, but depending on the camps the gods belong to and their preferences, the sacrifices they are willing to accept may vary greatly.
Under normal circumstances, the Girl of Doom might prefer a priest from the Church of the Goddess of Luck, but this helmet should be able to play a similar role, right?
Sure enough, a few seconds later, with a chuckle, the helmet disappeared.
And then nothing happened. She still said nothing and did not give Levi any reward.
But Levi no longer cared about these, because he knew that if necessary, the next time he used the supplies of the Girl of Doom, she would naturally provide help secretly.
Although she is considered to be a moody evil god, she actually still has her own rules of conduct.
After this simple ceremony, the dwarves had already started to get busy. At the same time, in the fortress city above, dwarves began to transport various materials and scattered war equipment, preparing to assemble them in the King's Hall.
Belegar had already made plans. Now that they had Levi 's help, they had to make some slight changes this time.
Every time he occupied a place, he would do his utmost to defend it to ensure that nothing could go wrong!
Meanwhile, the Red Prince had almost finished cleaning himself. After washing his face and shaving, he had regained his original appearance. He was probably a handsome northern man in his 30s with a determined look in his eyes.
He was also very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. After thanking Levi again, he took the initiative to present several Kislev specialties to express his gratitude.
Levi naturally would not refuse. Given Mrs. Kisslie's character, if he did not accept it, he might be misunderstood as looking down on her.
What's more, this is what he deserves.
It’s no wonder that the actions of the legendary Red Prince are truly extraordinary.
First of all, there are two training grounds for recruiting tier 4 Winged Hussars. The Red Prince is the leader of Kislev's strongest Winged Hussar Corps - the Griffin Knights, so it is natural for him to take them out.
Their attributes themselves can only be described as average, but because of the wings behind them, they have the ability to spread fear when charging, and often appear particularly powerful when bullying weak enemies.
Unfortunately, as a cavalry unit, they are not particularly compatible with the racial characteristics of Kislev.
"In the name of blood", when their health drops below 35% and they become seriously injured, they will enter a brief heroic state.
In this state, morale is greatly improved, attack speed is slightly increased, and the character is immune to conventional fear effects (cooling time is 3 minutes, and the duration is based on one's own strength).
Many God-chosen heroes will let their melee subordinates actively trigger this effect to deliver a wave of explosive output.
But if the cavalry also triggers this effect, they will basically act as consumables, which is not in line with the fighting style of the chosen heroes.
But with two drawings, a total of 40 people can be recruited each week, and the number can still make up for the shortcomings slightly.
Next is the Northern Beast Stable, where you can recruit wild bears, war bears, giant lynxes and snow leopards, ranging in rank from 2 to 4.
They are all relatively common animals in the ice and snow kingdom, but don't count too much on their own combat power. They basically exist as pets and mounts.
Among them, snow leopards may be worth using occasionally because of their excellent agility and speed, and their attacks can also be accompanied by ice elements, causing a slowing effect.
But if you are not careful, these crispy skins may die suddenly at any time.
Then there are three job transfer orders, which can transfer you to Kislev's unique magic profession - Frost Maiden.
As the name suggests, they are some mage units that can drive ice, snow and storms.
In fact, although this profession itself is special, it is not particularly rare.
Kislev has a special mage academy - the Ice and Snow Court, which is responsible for training them in large numbers and selecting the most outstanding members among them to serve as advisers and maids to successive tsars or queens.
But the job transfer order that the Red Prince took out only required 9 points of intelligence and did not require any other conditions. It could allow direct job transfer, which was extraordinary.
After thinking about it, Levi decided to throw it to Sefa. Although she was originally a Jade Phoenix Mage, among the magic units on his side, excluding Levi himself, she was more proficient in ice magic.
Next is an epic dagger - Dragon Thorn, which gathers the power of the frost dragon and has certain armor-piercing effects and ice attribute attacks.
There's nothing much to say. I'll give the reward to Zhou Miyin later. That guy has been trying his best to show himself since he returned to the team. It seems that he is afraid of being left behind again. It's just right to use this to motivate and comfort him.
Finally, there are two special magics:
Advanced rock metamorphism (level 8) can change the type of rock, turning fragile sandstone into the hardest granite, or vice versa.
Advanced Stoneshaping (Level 7), can change the appearance of rocks.
This was what the Red Prince obtained when he killed a rock elemental lord during his adventure.
If it were normal, Levi would only be satisfied with these two pieces of magic, but now he had a flash of inspiration and a rather bold idea emerged in his mind.
If combined with the 5th-level magic of turning fossils into mud, could he dig out a passage directly under his feet and go directly to the treasure house below?
In addition, the Red Prince also reiterated that he was willing to follow Levi and help the dwarves recapture the Eight Peaks Mountain.
After hearing this, Levi could of course understand that the Red Prince did not want to owe him a favor, so he wanted to repay the favor all at once by fighting and killing the enemies.
However, since it involves Manfred and other vampires, they might continue to join forces in the future.
So Levi selectively revealed some of the information. For example, Manfred himself might not be particularly scary, but behind him stood Dracula's Eclipse Alliance and almost all the legendary vampires in the main world.
They are currently gathering in groups of three or five, planning shocking conspiracies, and are unlikely to act alone and give the Red Prince a chance for revenge.
Upon hearing this, the Red Prince couldn't help but frown. This was completely different from what he had imagined before.
If the enemies were so numerous and so strong, he would not be able to take revenge easily even if he returned to Kislev for help, let alone relying on his own strength.
Himself, his sister - the Ice Queen, the Prince of the Ugor people - Yuri Bakov, the Queen's champion - the Golden Knight - Nayaska Resa, and her retired old father.
Even if we add the leaders of several other churches, the number of legendary heroes in Kislev would not even reach double digits at most.
Moreover, it would be almost impossible for him to invite them, who all had important responsibilities, to accompany him on adventures and to seek revenge against vampires.
Even if it was a real decisive battle, it would be difficult for him to invite all the opponents to join.
For example, Constantine, the Patriarch of the Bear God Ersun, was extremely angry that his sister, a witch, ascended the throne and that he had escaped from this responsibility.
The more the Red Prince thought about it, the more headache he felt. In terms of high-end combat power, he could never compare to his opponent.
So, if he wants revenge, maybe he needs to follow Levi for a while longer?
Thinking of this, the Red Prince's attitude became even more enthusiastic.
Although Levi himself is not a legend, he has an Amazon queen by his side. The celestial being who just left is also a legend. There is obviously something special about him.
Maybe on the road to revenge, I will have to rely more on the other party.
Looking at the two people who were chatting more and more happily, the great white bear who was being caressed by Elegy was a little dumbfounded.
Although it has lost a lot of strength and wisdom, it has not turned into a fool.
The Red Prince has given so many things, so what should it give to the one that was also saved and just destroyed two sphinxes?
It had nothing at all. After being caught by the giant horned rat, everything on its body was looted.
So after thinking about it, it seems that only itself is left...
After a while, the guard came running back and reported: "Sir, there are many traps on the ground and walls in the direction of the Iron Pillar Hall, but there are very few traps on the roof, and the number of ratmen is not particularly large."
"In addition, we have already found several relatively safer roads along the direction they fled."
This was another reason why Levi did not pursue them before. No matter how miserable the ratmen were, no matter how much he desired the Nine Volumes of Nagash, he would not underestimate their operations here over the years.
So the best way, naturally, is to follow the path the rats took to escape.
The two dwarf ancestors also reported similar situations to Belegar. All in all, it seemed that they had a chance to take advantage of the situation and attack.
Belegar immediately turned his head and said in a slightly serious tone: "Levi!"
Needless to say, everyone present could understand Belegar's desire. He wanted to take back the Iron Pillar Hall and the armory in one go , and even the Eight Peaks Mountain Treasure House further down!
But with the joining of the Red Prince and the Great White Bear, Levi's ambitions became a little bigger.
"What is the shortest straight-line distance between us and the treasure vault in the core area?"
Belegar's eyes widened instantly, and then he became even more excited. He thought he understood what Levi meant.
The armory is used only by common dwarven warriors, but the treasure vault contains incredible wealth and many powers that are now lost to the dwarves.
For example, the Rune Golem is a dwarf-like figure that is enlarged several times in proportion, made of rock, fine gold, and mithril, and driven by the power of runes!
If we can get back there more often in one go, our chances of holding on to this place will be greater!
After thinking for a while, Belegar walked to a corner in the southeast and stomped his feet hard.
"Go down from here, about sixty-five meters, and you will find our treasure house."
"But nearly 40 meters of it is made of the strongest granite, and the rocks around the treasure house are blessed by the gods. It is impossible for us to destroy it."
"What if instead of destroying it, you ask for it? In the name of the King of Clan Angrand, make a request to the dwarven gods?"
Levi never thought of forcibly destroying the treasure house. Whether he could do it was one thing, but once he did so, he would definitely be hated by the dwarf gods.
But what if Belegar himself prayed to the gods to temporarily remove the protective power so that he could enter and use the treasures inside?
This is the closest the Dwarves have come in thousands of years to fully reclaim Eight Peaks and recapture the treasure vault.
Although it is not entirely dependent on the dwarves' own strength, there are still outsiders like us.
But faced with the greenskins' super WAAAGH, the Skaven's endless new and deadly powers, the movements of many demon lords and devil dukes, and even the gradual revival of the four chaos gods.
In this environment, the dwarves, a race that has gradually declined due to their sparse population and difficulty in reproduction, are like a small boat in the raging sea, in danger of capsizing at any time.
In this case, would the dwarf gods still care about such trivial matters?
As long as the dwarf gods withdraw their protective forces, they will be able to enter the treasure house directly with the two magics they have just obtained, regardless of how many traps and ambushes the ratmen have set up on the way!
After explaining his general idea, Belegar was stunned for a moment, but then he was ecstatic. If this was the case, he would be more confident that he could defend this place!
So without saying anything, he knelt down with a plop and began to pray silently in his heart, just as he had done countless times in the past.
It didn't take long before the shadow of a dwarf dressed as a blacksmith with extremely developed muscles and a serious face appeared in a burst of white light.
The surrounding dwarves suddenly fell to their knees, because the opponent was none other than the Dwarf God-King - Soul Forger - Moradin!
And whether it was Levi, Penthesilea, Elegy, or the Red Prince, they all saluted to show their respect.
The great white bear shrank further into a small white ball, which was a sign of his awe for the truly strong man.
Those who possess divinity can generally be considered as spokespersons for a certain god, and their status is far higher than that of ordinary people.
But whether it is Lilith, or the bear god Ursun worshipped by the Red Prince, or the Arctic God whose life and death are uncertain, it is obvious that their strength is far from that of Moradin.
Even if they come in person, they must still be polite and respectful to Moradin.
Moradin said nothing, but just glanced around quickly, finally stopping at Levi, or more precisely, at the Crystal Vanguard on his shoulder, for less than half a second.
Then, with a little surprise and an inexplicable smile, he stretched out his hand and shook it.
With a crisp "click" sound, his shadow disappeared.
But Belegar jumped up from the ground with a cry: "Levi, we have five minutes!"
"That's enough, but we still need to go all out this time. If we can jump in through the passage, the ratmen can also get in!"
A cylinder with a diameter of one meter and a height of 65 meters has a volume of about 50 cubic meters.
As an advanced rock metamorphosis magic of the 8th level, at Levi's current level, one spell is enough to handle 30 cubic meters!
If one wanted to carve out a passage of this size, even with the addition of advanced stone shaping techniques and turning stones into mud, it would not take more than half a minute in total!
