Before dark, Levi and others successfully arrived at a small town located in the north of Bafeng Mountain.
With the dwarves' massive counterattack, they rarely encountered greenskins along the way. Instead, there were quite a lot of dwarves heading south.
Judging from the direction they are heading, a considerable number of them are probably heading to Bafeng Mountain.
This also made Levi feel a little emotional. The fierce attack of the greenskins at the beginning seemed to pose a crisis of national extinction to ordinary dwarves at any time.
But when the dwarf gods took action, the situation immediately underwent a dramatic reversal.
If you can't become a god, you are just an ant after all, the only difference is that there are big and small ones.
However, in this situation, the green-skinned gods, who are known for their bad temper and unwillingness to suffer losses, never took action. What restricted them?
Since Belegar and the others had already made arrangements and gave Levi a token of passage that was recognized by the Angrand clan, Ironforge, the High King and the Butcher King, the local dwarves also received them very warmly.
After a night's rest, Levi began to prepare to meet the war dance spirit.
The invitation letter has quota and level restrictions. In addition to Levi himself, he can only bring 10 companions who are at least level 10 or level 7, which makes it impossible for Levi to lead a large army in.
And if the war dance spirits are located in some special small planes, Levi's summoning spell might be affected.
So Levi carefully selected the list of participants.
Taking into account the abilities and characteristics of the War Dancer, people like Donna, Kerillian, Luna and others who mainly use long-range attacks don't need to go there.
Even for someone as strong as Donna, there is basically no chance of winning unless she relies on the professional spells of the Silver Girl. The restraint of the War Dance Spirit on archers is too great.
Although Donna and the others felt a little regretful, they could not force such a thing. Moreover, when Levi and the others were invited to leave, the troops left in the town also needed a commander, and they could be responsible for this matter.
So the main forces in the next battle will be the three legends Penthesilea, Khalida and the Red Prince, followed by Elegy, Cindy, Michaela, Cefa, Maltis and Mortidi, as well as Winnie the Pooh.
It is worth mentioning that in the system's recognition, little Zeus is still a special magic, not a summoned creature or a pet, so you can go together.
As for the Crystal Vanguard, probably because she is essentially an incarnation of a goddess, her power and authority are much higher than those of the War Dancers, so she can also go.
This is very good news for Levi.
Now that both sides have had a frank talk, Seleket also formally met with Lilith last night.
Levi is not clear about what specific agreement has been reached between the two parties , but Seleket has already moved her body to the vicinity of Lilith's kingdom of God and became a neighbor of Leila, the phantom goddess who is in disguise and working for Lilith.
Under such circumstances, she would naturally do her best to help Levi.
And if there is really something to gain, Levi will definitely not let her work for nothing, both parties are aware of this.
But after using many enhancement and protection magics and making all preparations, when Levi chose to activate the invitation, he was slightly surprised to find that a portal made entirely of flames opened.
Even before actually entering, the smell of burning heat and a hint of sulfur could be felt in the face. It seemed that the opposite side was a plane dominated by the element of fire.
Michaela and Sefa couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, both feeling a little amused.
For them, going there would potentially allow them to grow greatly, but if they encountered enemies there, they would basically be able to do nothing but watch.
Due to the restraint in attributes, the three types of magic, water, ice, and fire, basically have no effect in the plane dominated by the fire element.
For Michaela, the only thing that can be used is probably the Yangyan Explosion.
Although Sefa is an all-rounder as she is able to master the four elements of ice, fire, wind and thunder, she is still a little behind in terms of level and cannot play any role.
So they all prepared to speak up at the same time, wanting to withdraw themselves and replace Levi with other candidates.
But before they could say anything, Levi stopped them with a wave of his hand: "We are a group, we must trust our companions."
Of course, he could understand what they could think of, but this was also a rare opportunity for both of them to practice.
Especially Sefa, as the reincarnation of the Jade Phoenix Mage who is best at fire magic, it is possible that her breakthrough will happen today.
The elegy beside him also smiled and said, "That's right, Queen Khalida, Sister Peng, and Prince Red are here, you two just need to watch the fun."
Penthesilea naturally nodded seriously, and Kalida also smiled in response.
If it were an ordinary Tomb King, with their mummified bodies, it would be a problem for them to survive, let alone fight, but she was completely different. She was now more and more grateful for her meeting Levi.
But the Red Prince felt helpless.
He was the leader of the Knights and a sword master who grew up in the land of ice and snow. He had to rely on the power of ice for most of his attacks and defenses. Now he was walking to fight in a world dominated by fire elements. I'm afraid he couldn't even match Elegy who was covered in luxurious equipment...
Levi had said this, so Michaela and Sefa naturally stopped being pretentious. They just nodded seriously.
At the same time, he made up his mind to face the upcoming battle with all his strength. Even if he couldn't help, at least he couldn't be a drag.
After casting some protective magic specifically against fire, seeing that no one had any objections, Levi nodded with satisfaction. Then he let Winnie the Pooh temporarily serve as the Red Prince's mount.
The most powerful army in Kislev is, of course, the Bear Cavalry.
Winnie the Pooh, who had been secretly bribed, roared, restored his three-meter-long appearance, and walked in front of the Red Prince.
The Red Prince was pleasantly surprised and delighted at once, it was certainly not the first time he had fantasized about this, but after being controlled by the Horned Rat before, Winnie the Pooh also had his self-respect, and of course it was impossible for him to ride him again.
And if a fight really breaks out, he may not be able to defeat the opponent.
Although he knew that Levi had temporarily allocated it to him only because it was needed for this battle, he might not have the chance to do so in the future.
But this feeling is still great!
Looking at the Red Prince who was full of gratitude and kept saying thanks, Levi was also very satisfied. This time he had completely mobilized the Red Prince's enthusiasm.
Winnie the Pooh’s position in the team is a meat shield, so will you understand something next?
As it turned out, the Red Prince was indeed not a fool. Without Levi saying anything, he took the initiative to cross the portal and go ahead to explore.
Then Levi, Khalida and others came in one after another, Michaela, Cefa and others were in the middle, and Penthesilea and Martis were at the end.
After crossing the gate of flames, wherever you look, whether it is the sky or the earth, it is all red.
Hot magma and erupting volcanoes can be seen everywhere, and above the sky, there are thick clouds of fire as big as small mountains.
The ground is not so much hot rock as it is a flat plate pressed into flames. The surrounding rivers and quagmires are essentially hot magma.
From time to time, clouds of hot steam and raindrops made of hot ashes fell from the sky, and all of this was shining with fire.
Even though he had used various magics in advance, he still couldn't avoid feeling the heat coming towards him, and even his vision was slightly distorted.
Except for Levi, who didn't need to breathe, most of the others felt a burning sensation in their noses and throats. If a mortal stayed here, they would probably not survive more than half a minute and would be roasted from the inside out.
Even the powerful Winnie the Pooh couldn't help shaking his head and letting out a series of low roars that expressed his discomfort.
Before encountering the enemy, Levi and his men were given a warning by the harsh environment here.
Although both are different dimensions, the Twin Moon World is like heaven compared to here.
Levi, Michaela, and Sefa used flying magic for their friendly forces at the same time, allowing everyone to leave the surface.
Then they all saw in the distance, in a place similar to the ruins of a temple, there were densely packed with at least fifty or sixty war dance spirits.
Perhaps because they have lived here for too long, they have also undergone corresponding mutations. The weapons surrounding them are burning with a layer of flames, and the armor on their bodies has also turned black and red.
From the number of their weapons, flying speed, etc., Levi quickly got the general information that these guys seemed to be all level 6.
Four or five of the leaders, in addition to swords and other things, also have flaming whips wrapped around their armor. They are most likely tier 7 soldiers, or even hero-level units.
Even for our current side, this is not a battle that can be easily won.
As for the activation spells that the war dance elves like best, Levi has not observed them yet. This is mainly because in this environment, some activation spells that tend to have fire attributes are too easy to hide.
Further away, there are some buildings that vaguely resemble villages or towns, which may have been built by the indigenous people here, but now they are all in ruins.
Due to their warlike nature, almost all of the war elves are in the neutral evil camp. When affected by the blazing flames here, their personalities will definitely become more violent.
It is estimated that the indigenous people had a conflict with the war elves and were then massacred.
Almost at the same time when Levi saw the other party, the war elves also obviously noticed it. They reorganized their formation slightly, as if preparing for the upcoming battle.
Levi began to cast summoning magic. In this situation, there was no need for him to summon low- and middle-level celestial beings such as the Tiger Envoy, because they could not withstand the flames flowing on the ground without fighting.
At the very least, it would have to be the flying Archon of Justice and Archon of Horn, or the Archon of Flame, which also have fire attributes, such as the Embers Guard and High-level Crimson Flamer. They would surely be able to gain good benefits in this environment.
A few seconds later, Levi's guess was confirmed, and the strength of the latter two increased by 10% to 20%.
But at this moment, Seleket suddenly said in surprise: "Levi, something is wrong! Why do I feel the breath of multiple gods?"
"There are not only human gods, but also green-skinned gods!"
"Wait, Osiris, Set, and Anhor from the Egyptian pantheon, and Gruumsh and Inavr from the greenskin pantheon..."
"Oh, damn, God Ra, and the aura of Marduk and Gilgamesh, Levi, this is not an ordinary fire elemental world, but the site of the original Orc Gate War!"
Levi was also surprised when he heard this special word.
The Orcgate War was the largest and most intense war that broke out when the Greenskin pantheon was at its peak.
At that time, the green-skinned gods showed their great power and directly destroyed the Egyptian pantheon, causing the rapid decline of the Egyptian gods and also laying the groundwork for Nagash's later troubles.
But in fact, in addition to the greenskin pantheon and the Egyptian pantheon, there was another small pantheon participating in the war, that is, the Sumerian pantheon, or the Babylonian pantheon.
The Sumerian pantheon includes many gods, including Marduk, the king of kings; Nergal, the lord of the underworld; Gilgamesh, the hero king; Gelu, the lord of fire; Inanna, the goddess of war and love; Raman, the god of war and thunder, and many others.
Their priesthoods can be said to be numerous and have great potential, but unfortunately their strength is somewhat insufficient, and they were obviously tricked before the war.
So the final result is that their entire pantheon was almost wiped out, and the only known survivor seems to be the god of vengeance - Hall.
But the green-skinned gods have always wanted to wipe out the roots, and the Egyptian god of war, Anhor, has always wanted to take revenge on Howl.
Before the Battle of the Orcs, the Sumerian pantheon was also at war with the Egyptian pantheon, and there was a great hatred between the two.
In addition, Hall's priesthood was basically useless, so after continuous attacks, his current godhood level was only 2, making him a very weak god.
If he died, the Sumerian pantheon would be completely destroyed.
However, although many gods were killed or defeated, the greenskin pantheon at that time did not gain much benefit.
In the end, it seemed that only the God of War, Inavur, gained some power and knowledge related to war, the God of sneak attacks and thieves, Shags, slightly strengthened his sneak attack ability, and the God King, Gruumsh, and the God of Bravery, Bagchu, were slightly strengthened in the field of strength.
But the green-skinned gods had none of the very useful divine duties and fields, such as Marduk's wind, rain, thunder and lightning, Gilgamesh's cities and sports, and Gru's fire.
This may be because their priesthood and faction are in serious conflict with the Sumerian gods, so they cannot perfectly accommodate these forces, but Levi is more inclined to believe that the greenskin pantheon is likely to be a wedding dress for others.
Ever since that war, the Greenskin pantheon has been jointly besieged by the Human, Dwarf and Elf pantheons, until it has fallen to its current predicament. This actually explains part of the problem.
For many beings, if robbery or theft is committed, the best solution to solve the problem once and for all is not to return the property to the original owner, but to completely kill the original owner.
And the reason why this war is called Orcgate is because a portal inexplicably appeared in the greenskin territory.
A large number of greenskins took this opportunity to rush into the territories of the Sumerian and Egyptian pantheons, slaughtered a large number of humans, and destroyed countless towns and villages, eventually escalating the war into a war between gods.
But let alone that time, even now, with the greenskin shamans' spellcasting ability, it is impossible for them to open a portal that can allow tens of millions of troops to pass through.
If it wasn't the green-skinned gods who took action, then there must be a fourth force in the dark.
Then Levi was ecstatic again. Looking at the characteristics of this plane, the most likely place was the remnant of the power of the God of Fire - Gru. He made the right decision to bring Michaela and Sefa here.
The Jade Phoenix Wizards are powerful and mysterious, but the gods have never really taken them seriously because they have no divinity and are always mortal beings.
But if Sefa can obtain divinity and is given enough time to grow, she may become the most powerful Jade Phoenix Mage in history!
Taking a deep breath, Levi tried to calm himself down and turned to look at the war dancing spirits.
They gathered here inexplicably. Did they sense the remaining power of the God of Fire?
Maybe there is no need to kill them all directly, I can try to get some information...
While his mind was racing, Levi also passed to Khalida and others, while Seleket continued to feel the extremely weak fluctuations of divine power, trying to trace the source and solve the problem at one time.
It's just that the war took place thousands of years ago. Not to mention Seleket who is in poor condition now, even if her original god king Osiris came in person, it would be impossible to find any trace so quickly.
As he was thinking about this, Levi saw a big man about four meters tall, standing out among the many war dance spirits, suddenly shouting:
"Are you the challengers this time? You do seem to have some strength."
"But you'd better speed up. The enemy is approaching. We won't let you go in the upcoming massacre!"
As if in response to his words, a red torrent began to surge rapidly on the distant land. Upon closer inspection, it was actually an army composed of countless fire creatures.
In addition to fire elements of different sizes and classes, there are also many other races such as magma beasts, fire dwarves, fire giants, fire lizards, etc.
Some of them are pure elemental creatures, while others are made up of flames and flesh, but without exception, they all lean towards the evil camp.
Even Maltis, who had better eyesight, noticed that quite a few powerful high-level fire giants looked at her with eyes full of hatred and greed.
Even though this is not the real fire elemental world, these fire elemental creatures also do not like any colder or flesh-and-blood creatures.
They would like to burn her since she is a death elf and has the lowest body temperature, so as to create more fire.
Seeing this, Wange and the others came to their senses to a certain extent. It seemed that the challenge from the war dance spirits was not to fight against the war dance spirits, but a competition between the two sides to kill the most enemies?
The war dance spirits are powerful and numerous, which is indeed a challenge for our side.
But Levi, Kalida and others felt something was a little strange. When did even the War Dancer become so easy to talk to? Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary.
So Levi didn't rush to act. He just further confirmed: "What are the rules of the challenge? What can we get?"
"The rules are simple. Whoever kills enough and is strong enough will be the winner."
"If you win, you can pick 10 brothers to go with you, but if you lose..."
The leader of the War Dancers paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Then become a sacrifice to the Lord of Flame just like those guys before!"
"Lord of Flame?"
Levi felt that he was gradually getting closer to the truth. The war dance spirits could indeed be considered to be masters of both magic and martial arts, but they were completely incapable of opening channels connecting different dimensions.
Unless there is someone else behind them, such as the so-called Lord of Flame.
"Yes, He is everywhere and He is omnipotent. He is a God born from fire!"
The other war dance spirits around also started to stir: "The Lord of Flame Lives Forever!"
Even though their bodies were completely covered in armor and their expressions could not be seen clearly, everyone could feel the enthusiasm of the war dancers at that moment.
But Levi vaguely understood that these war dancing spirits were so fanatical and they also liked sacrifices. If they were not evil gods, they could be some powerful devils or demons.
We cannot fully trust what the war dance spirit just said. We still need to make more preparations in advance.
Penthesilea, the Red Prince and the others looked at each other in confusion, not knowing whether these war dance elves were really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
They must have been smart to know how to trick people into coming here to serve as sacrifices.
But before the matter was even started, they had almost revealed the whole truth. Did they believe that they could not use space magic to escape?
But then they received Levi's message, whether it was the summoning spell or the space magic, everything was completely normal. If there was really a powerful enemy that their side could not resist, they could still call for reinforcements.
Gods like Lilith and Illidan, and even powerful beings like the Messenger of Mercy, are not suitable to enter the main world frequently.
But this is only limited to the main world. In this small alien dimension, they have no taboos at all!
Despite this, seeing the fire creatures in the distance getting closer and closer, Levi still ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle.
The war dance elves might be planning to regret their decision later and use themselves as sacrifices, but these fire creatures want to kill them all now.
However, even in a battle, some strategy is required. Although these war elves are strong, they should not be able to overtake the strength of Penthesilea, Khalida and others.
So Levi asked everyone to hide their strength for the time being and focus on summoning creatures.
First, follow the instructions of those war dance spirits. It would be best to lure out the Lord of Flame, and then call for reinforcements.
At the same time, it is also a chance to take a look at the strength of these war dancing spirits. In various stories and legends, they are all very powerful. Are they worthy of their reputation?
Their slightly conservative approach made the war dance elves obviously look down on them, but the war dance elves did not express any opinions and just let Levi and the others do what they wanted.
This naturally made Levi even more certain that the war dance elves must have evil intentions, and the sacrifice they mentioned was no joke.
Soon thousands of fire creatures approached, and a great battle broke out instantly.
Faced with enemies that were dozens of times larger than themselves, the war elves did not retreat but instead advanced and took the initiative to launch a charge.
But what was faster than them was their magic - inducing frenzy.
Many low-level fire lizards and fire dwarves went directly into a state of madness and began to launch indiscriminate attacks on the friendly forces around them, causing a small chaos.
The War Dancers then used the Blade Barrier to try to split up the enemy forces, and by this time they were almost there, and could engage in close combat.
But ordinary soldiers are different. They will not stay in the same place all the time, not only to avoid being surrounded by the enemy, but also because as they run, the various weapons around them can fly up and down constantly, quickly cutting the bodies of enemies along the way.
The faster they run, the more damage they cause to the enemy.
From time to time, the War Dancer would draw out one or two of the swords and personally inflict death upon the enemy.
Except for a few elite fire giants who were able to resist, the rest of the enemy troops were basically chopped off by them like cutting melons and vegetables, and large numbers of them were easily killed.
The counterattacks of fire elements and others are often mostly blocked by the weapons surrounding the war dance spirits. Even if they can occasionally break through the siege, it is difficult to leave any marks on their armor, let alone wounds.
This was almost a one-sided massacre. No wonder the war elves said it was a massacre competition.
What made Levi feel strange was that he searched back and forth several times but did not find any suspected leader among the enemy army. It seemed that they had spontaneously united together and launched this war against the dancing elves.
Are they attracted by some force, or is it something that the war elves did in the past?
This scene made the Red Prince couldn't help but complain: "Do they really need our help?"
"Maybe they are just cannon fodder to consume their energy."
As he said this, Levi casually threw a few fireballs, and found, as expected, that they didn't cause any damage at all.
Even though his current spell penetration is already quite high, in this special environment, low- and medium-level fire magic is not completely useless against the enemy, but it would be too difficult to kill the enemy with it.
Michaela and Sefa next to them either shook their heads or spread their hands, indicating that they were really here just to watch the fun this time.
They had just tried many different kinds of magic, but the results were just as they had expected, completely useless.
But no matter what, everyone knows that there must be other powerful enemies behind.
Soon Levi and his friends also discovered some hidden tricks and activation spells of the war dance elves.
There were animated burning hands shaped like flaming claws, some crackling animated flash flames that looked like ooze monsters, and groups of gray swirling mists - animated dormant clouds.
On average, each war dancer can control at least four or five, which is not a small number.
Unfortunately, these gadgets are really useless in this special environment, and can't even cause any delay to the enemy.
But soon Levi and his companions had no time to pay attention to this little matter, because the fire giants began to cross the chaotic battlefield and launched an attack on them.
These big guys look like fire djinn and can also fly, but in fact they are very different.
The spells they master are extremely limited, and they prefer to use huge flaming scimitars to chop up their enemies, or to command other fire creatures or even demons to fight, which makes their camp basically tend to be evil.
Unfortunately, they underestimated their own strength. There was no need for anyone else to take action. Cindy led the angels and sub-airbornes and rushed forward to beat them up.
They are generally only at level 4 or 5, and even if there are seventy or eighty of them, they can be easily killed in just a minute or two.
But before Cindy had time to rest, the real main force of the enemy appeared with a series of roars and shouts.
Some humanoid monsters made of rocks and magma, level 6 Lava Dreadnoughts, formed a square formation of a hundred people and joined the battlefield carrying some burning boulders.
They can resist, fight, and throw boulders. If they are of the same rank, even if their combat power is slightly inferior to that of the War Dancers, it will definitely not be too much different.
They alone are enough to give the war elves a hard time, not to mention the dozen or so fire giants following behind them.
Even Levi felt that the situation was a little bit tricky, but he was not anxious at all. Instead, he felt a little happy.
Michaela and Sefa next to them had the same expression, because in mid-air, there were three flaming phoenixes, two in front and one behind, flying towards them in a triangular formation.
Even in the real plane of fire element, the number of fire phoenixes would not be particularly large. Now, do these three fire phoenixes, which seem to be carved from the same mold, represent some possibility?
Or at worst, they can try to communicate with them and use them for their own benefit.
Especially Mikaela, the ten kingdoms of the high elves have each reached a long-term alliance with some phoenixes.
As a scholar of the element of fire, she had naturally studied a lot of knowledge related to the Blazing Phoenix. Not to mention that she herself had a Blazing Phoenix, Xiaohong, as a mount, so she was quite confident about this.
But before that, they still need to deal with another enemy, which is a giant fire giant sitting on the back of a flaming phoenix that fell behind.
Compared with many of its peers, it has several gem products on its body, and its scimitar also shines with flames with a hint of golden light, which shows its uniqueness.
Moreover, its body size was obviously much larger, like an adult riding a goose, and even the Fiery Phoenix under it was a little overwhelmed. Its flying speed was obviously inferior to that of its two companions.
The fire giant can fly, but now it insists on riding on the flaming phoenix, which is so funny and obviously it is showing off.
After thinking for a while, Levi shouted to the leading war dance spirit: "Hey, do you have any other means?"
The elegy beside him also chimed in: "Yes, such a powerful enemy is beyond our ability to deal with. We don't want to die here in vain!"
The leader of the war dance spirits suddenly turned his head. Even though his face was still not clear, Levi could feel that he seemed to want to curse at this moment.
But he still managed to hold back: "Don't worry, you cowardly creatures. When the blood and flames are full, that will be the day when my Lord will appear. You can just hide behind with peace of mind!"
But the fire giant in the sky laughed loudly: "Fools who are still obsessed with holding the sacrificial ceremony, have you tricked some more mortals into being sacrifices?"
"Unfortunately, the gods who once existed here have long since vanished and are unable to respond to you."
"And I have successfully changed my job to become a Fire Giant Burner. Today is the day you will die!"
Before it finished speaking, Seleket's voice came over: "Levi, I found it!"
"There are some ruins in the clouds in the sky that have been decorated with permanent anti-gravity spells. In addition to a building bestowed by the War Dance Spirit, there is also a complete sacrificial magic circle!"
Levi snorted softly, he knew this would be the case.
The invitation from the war dance elves had no good intentions from the beginning. No matter whether they died in the fight against enemies such as fire elements, or survived to the end, they would inevitably become sacrifices.
This way, he would have even less reason to help the war elves fight.
However, despite what the Fire Giant Burner said, he was more inclined to believe that there was indeed a powerful existence behind the war elves.
He wanted to see, when the war elves suffered heavy losses, would the so-called Lord of Flame show up in advance?
