Chapter 171: Into the Ground

The young man said without a beginning or an end, and Levi and the dwarf Timwood Hammer looked at each other, and found that the other party was also confused, so they had to look at the young man again.

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be stimulated by something, his eyes widened and he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, a puddle of blood had already spurted out, and then this guy fell down directly, and he lost his breath in an instant.

"I'll go!" Levi hurriedly cast a spell, wanting to replenish a little health for the other party, but soon he found a prompt from the system, saying that there is no object that can be used to cast magic, in other words, this guy is really dead this time!

Temu Brute Hammer is also a big head, but he is also a dwarf who understands things, and there is no bloody plot, and the cause of the other party's death is blamed on Levi's, because he has long known that the other party is only one breath away from death, and in fact, if he can make the other party say a few more words, it is already Levi's magic is strong enough.

He could only sigh, lamenting the fragility of the other party's life.

However, Levi soon noticed that something was wrong, and the other party's chest seemed to have a little weird bulge.

After talking to Ironwood Brutehammer, the dwarf immediately reached out and touched it without hesitation, and took out a letter from the dead young man, which was written on paper, unlike the parchment scrolls that Levi was common to in Oak Village!

After a few glances, Timber Brute Hammer suddenly realized, and then handed it to Levi.

After a few glances, Levi found that there was not much text on the letter, but only a rough explanation of the contents, saying that the owner of the letter had been attacked by necromancers, greenskins, and Skaven, and was currently trapped somewhere underground, and asked the dwarves to notify the Draken family of Nunn to come to the rescue as soon as possible.

After reading the letter, Levi found himself with a mission in front of him, which was to go to the underground of the Gray Mountains and rescue the Draken family, and the reward was not specified, just a series of question marks.

Levi didn't follow for the first time, but turned to look at the dwarf who seemed to be a little irritated: "Nunn's Draken family? ”

Levi knew the name Nunn because, in addition to being the most important transportation hub and trading town in the southern part of the Empire, it also had the most attractive place for Imperial players, that is, Nun was the most powerful and well-known siege machine manufacturing site in the entire Empire.

Although only a small number of players are able to enter the city of Nunn due to their current strength and status, they have confirmed that a large number of cannons and muskets are manufactured from Nune at all times, and then gradually transported and spread throughout the empire.

And unlike most cities in the Empire, Nunn is an independent city that belongs to the Empire, but does not belong to any province, due to its own great strength, and before that, only Fort Marien, which was at the junction of the Empire and the Knight Kingdom, had a similar situation.

Fort Marion was very advantageous due to its isolated terrain, coupled with its own being the largest and most prosperous trading port in the Old World, and had the financial resources to raise a large army.

Nunn, on the other hand, is entirely due to its extremely developed factory equipment, which not only contains a large number of steam tanks, but also an artificial creation known as the Nunn Land Boat.

Just listen to the name, that kind of thing looks like it directly pulls the warship to the ground, and then puts wheels on it to make it move, even the smallest land-based ship is more than ten meters wide and forty or fifty meters long, it is simply a moving war fortress!

"That's right, Levi," the dwarf nodded, "The Draken family is our friends at Blackstone Castle, their Black Lady has helped us solve a lot of troubles, and they are also an important trading partner of our Blackstone Castle. ”

I don't know why, a strange expression appeared on the dwarf's face when he said this, it was a mixture of fear and awe, and Levi suddenly realized that this Draken family was probably not just as simple as the dwarf said...

After a little hesitation, Levi finally decided to take on the task.

"Temu, it will take some time for your reinforcements to arrive here, but look at this poor young man, his master must be in need of urgent rescue, and I have decided to go into action."

"What?" The dwarf was slightly taken aback, but soon he realized that this was indeed a good idea, but the dwarf's friend had to ask another friend to save it... This made the dwarf feel more or less awkward.

Although Levi didn't know what the other party was thinking, he also guessed according to the dwarf's personality, and he smiled: "And I've long wanted to kill more greenskins and Skaven ratmen, and in the meantime, my subordinates need you to take care of me." ”

Levi pointed to the horseback attendants behind him.

Although he has not yet entered the Underworld, the Dwarves and Greenskins have already shown in the many videos uploaded on the forums that the Underworld is definitely not a suitable place for cavalry operations.

There are many places that are so narrow that they can only be passed by a single person, and there are many places where the times are so rough that if horses or other mounts enter them, it will probably not be long before the hooves of the horses are broken.

And the combat effectiveness of these second-order horseback squires is not very strong, and after getting off the horse, they are a group of chickens, in order to prevent them from dying in the underground world, it is better to leave them in the dwarf outpost, of course, it is impossible to ride in themselves, and even Huamesi has to get off Xiaobai's back.

Although this dwarven outpost has just been attacked by the undead, it seems that there is only one and a half dwarves left, and basically everyone is injured, but there is no good way, but according to Ironwood Brutehammer, their messenger for help has almost arrived at Blackstone Fort at this time, so presumably the reinforcements should arrive here after a while to defend this attacked outpost.

Temu Brute Hammer lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally agreed to Levi's proposal: "Levi, the Brute Hammer Clan owes you a favor, and you will be a friend of our Brute Hammer Clan. But I can't let you do it alone, our dwarven warriors are better at operating in the underworld, and they've been digging down there before, and they've fought greenskins before, so I'll send you a few and let them be your guides. ”

As he spoke, Temu Brute Hammer called over four dwarven rangers with bows and crossbows and battle axes, and assigned them to Levi's very resolutely.

Looking at the other party's expression, Levi knew that even if he refused, the other party would forcibly stuff it into him. But why would you refuse such help?

Levi smiled and responded, "Of course, I already regard the Hammer Clan as my friend. ”

Hearing Levi's words, Timber Brute Hammer suddenly became excited, and he even untied a metal flask from his waist and handed it to Levi: "Levi, this is a testimony of our friendship!" ”

Levi took it and found that it was still a green-level piece of equipment, and the name was the Ironwood Brute Hammer flask.

It currently contains something called Bergman Beer, which can be used as a buff item, and each drink will directly increase the maximum health by 10 points and morale by 2 points, although the duration is only three minutes, but this small flask, it actually contains Bergman beer that can be used 10 times, and even if it is used up 10 times, go to the Dwarven Tavern casually, and it can be refilled for a few gold coins, which is generally a pretty good equipment.

Levi naturally smiled, and after a few words with the horseback attendants, signaling them to obey the dwarves' arrangements and not allow any conflict, Levi said goodbye to Timber Brutehammer, and then directly followed the guidance of several dwarven rangers and stepped into a dark cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, Levi's vision suddenly dimmed.

Unlike the surface world, there is no sunlight here, and the only things they use for lighting are glowing mosses that appear on the walls and underground, except for the torches in the hands of the dwarves.

The sight here was quite seriously affected, and if in such a situation, under the surprise attack of the enemy, Levi felt that the combat effectiveness of his troops would be reduced by at least two or three percent.

Not to mention anything else, on the ground, the half-elf Sienna and the others can take the lead in attacking the enemy from a distance of one hundred and eighty meters, but in these twisted underground passages, they can't see that far at all, even if they can see so far, it is difficult to hit the enemy in the dark with an arrow, so in comparison, it is more reliable to melee troops.

But fortunately, this passage did not last long, and after walking for about ten minutes, the eyes suddenly opened up.

On either side of the wide, tunnel, apparently carved out by hand, were a multitude of torches, the old and dusty torches, and it was not known how long they had been here, but most of them had been extinguished, and only a few torches were still shining.

Levi couldn't help but ask a dwarven ranger, "Was this place dug out by you before?" ”

"Yes, my lord, we used to dig iron ore here, but then the mineral deposits here were emptied, so we gave up here and went in other directions, and it has been about twenty years now, anyway, the gray mountains are so big, and there are many veins underground."

Speaking of mining, even the Dwarven Ranger, who has a relatively low intelligence level, straightens his chest and looks proud.

Levi looked at the torches again, and then he had a little bottom in his heart: "Well, it seems that we have found the right direction, these torches were obviously lit recently, and they can't last more than twenty years." ”

The young man before may have been loyal enough, but his intelligence was not high, although the letter for help let Levi and the others know the general situation of what happened, but the most important thing he did not tell Levi and the others, that is, the location, where is his master besieged?

Therefore, Levi could only follow the passage and slowly look for traces, which further caused their movement speed to become slower.

"My lord, I smell some of the undead," the Moorish knight Thanato, who suddenly frowned, and then said with some uncertainties, "It seems to be mixed with the smell of some beasts." ”

"Oh? All are on alert, and melee units protect ranged units in the middle! ”

Levi gave the order immediately, he knew Tanato's character, and if it wasn't really dangerous, he wouldn't tell himself about the smell so solemnly.

But in fact, he soon smelled the stench, and I have to say, the smell was even more pungent than the one he had ever smelled on the beastmen and even the undead, not more stinky, but only more irritating to the nose.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Suddenly, a noisy cry sounded, and listening to this movement, the number of the other party was definitely quite a lot.

Several of the dwarven rangers who were exploring the path in front had already taken the lead in shouting: "My lord, it's the voice of the Skaven!" ”

Although the dwarves screamed loudly, they were not scared by their appearance, but their faces were full of excitement, as if they had encountered some fun entertainment.

However, Levi was not careless because of this, he immediately ordered the troops to be on guard and prepare to meet the enemy, fortunately, the passage here is quite open, about four or five meters wide, enough for the melee troops to set up a formation.

Soon, with a squeaky sound, a group of large rats more than a meter long with gray-green fur had appeared in the sight of Levi and the others, and with their appearance, Levi noticed that the fishy smell in the air suddenly became stronger, and it was obvious that the smell he had smelled before came from these big rats!

However, after seeing the enemy's face clearly, Levi breathed a sigh of relief: "It is the giant rat raised by the Skaven rat people, and their duties in the rat people society are similar to those of human hounds, and they also have to bear the responsibility of food in times of emergency, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning." ”

Skaven rat people are also one of the initial optional races of the chaotic camp, although because of their ugly appearance and scumbag combat effectiveness, the players selected are very rare, almost no more than the barge halflings, but they are also one of the initial races after all, there is still a lot of information about them on the forum, and these giant rats in front of them, which are not much worse than adult domestic dogs, are just a 0-order class, and there is almost no threat to Levi and others.

And it was true, although there were four or five squads of these giant rats, within five minutes they were all reduced to broken corpses on the ground, and Levi's side did not even hurt anyone except for a few arrows, because at the forefront were the Moorish knights and foot squires, and these giant rats were completely unable to break through their defenses.

However, Levi did not gain anything other than experience points, these giant rats are much poorer than goblins, and even John, the hunter who is the best at cleaning the battlefield and obtaining his due spoils from the corpses of his enemies, can only shake his head very much after seeing the corpses of these giant rats, saying that there is nothing he can do.

Levi didn't care, anyway, most of these giant rats are some 0-order troops, and there are very few of them 1-order, so it would be surprising if there were rich loot.

"Go ahead, it looks like we're heading in the right direction, since we've found the giant rat here, the Skaven aren't far away from us, let's see if we can find any trace of the Draken family."

"Yes, sir!"
