Chapter 174: A Chance Encounter in the Underworld

After a quick sweep of the battlefield, Levi found that he had lost a bit of a battle this time.

These Skaven rat people are not only weak in single combat effectiveness, but the loot on their bodies is even more scarce, except for experience points and a scarce amount of money, there is basically no valuable loot in this sudden battle, after all, just look at their equipment, they themselves are in rags, if you want to drop good equipment, the premise is that they have it!

And his troops have suffered a lot of losses, the melee troops are basically all injured, not to mention that only two of the robbers who surrendered are now still alive, and the archers led by John are also three dead, which are all the handiwork of those rat thieves, although their attack power is insignificant to Levi, but it is still very deadly for ordinary archers.

While two melee troops also died, both of them during the Nezumi sneak attack from the rear, the troops led by Tanato were intact and did not suffer any losses, and even the dwarves who led the way survived with their own high defense.

After a few words of praise to Tanato, Levi found that Tanato, as always, was not proud, but was a little puzzled and asked the swordsmen to bring over a black armor.

"My lord, this is what I found earlier, and the nezumi seemed to want to take this armor away."

Looking at the pitch-black full-covered armor in front of him, with all kinds of scars on the surface, and the broken long sword firmly held in his hand, while respecting it, Levi was a little surprised: "Look at the size of this corpse, this is obviously a human, it is a bit too big for the nezumi, he should have been a warrior subordinate to that Miss Draken when he was alive, we are definitely not looking for the wrong place." ”

The dwarven ranger who led the way also nodded in agreement: "That's right, look at the coat of arms above, this undoubtedly belongs to the Draken family!" ”

The Draken family is the family to which the young man who died before belongs, and Levi went deep into the ground to save the young lady that the other party said, and because of the urgency of time at that time, just looking at this pitch-black rose, Levi couldn't help but have some associations.

"Black Rose, Tanato, do you have any impression of this Draken family?"

He still remembered that the Moorish sect to which Tanato belonged often used black roses as decoration, and even when he was in the Moorish garden, he saw patches of artificially planted black roses.

Tanato's brows furrowed, obviously thinking of this, but he didn't remember any of the Drakens among the Moors, and it was in Nunn, an important city in the Empire, but the black rose had almost become the symbol of the Moorish order, and others almost never used it, after all, it symbolized death.

Seeing him frowning and thinking, the dwarven ranger who led the way couldn't help but laugh: "Don't you even know about the Draken family? The famous Lady Rose of the Cemetery, you should know about it, right? ”

"Graveyard roses?"

"Graveyard roses?"

Tamus and Tames shouted at the same time, but they had completely different ideas, Tamus just thought that the name sounded nice and powerful, while Tamus was completely surprised, because he knew what the name meant, it was a famous death archmage!

"My lord, Lady Rose of the Cemetery is an extremely powerful mage of death, and even the chief high priest of our Moorish Sect has praised her, calling her a mysterious and powerful Black Lady, but I never knew the name of this Lady of the Rose of the Cemetery before, so I am not connected to the Draken family at all." Tanato, speaking quickly, introduced Levi.

"Oh, that's really good, if we save the people of the Black Lady family, the reward must be indispensable, right?"

Levi is also a little happy, because in the game, the title is usually proportional to its strength, and the name Cemetery Rose is very tall when it stands up, and Tanato shows this mixed with worship and admiration, then the other party is definitely not ordinary cannon fodder, and it is definitely a good thing to be able to get in touch with such a powerful aborigine.

"Of course, the Lady Rose of the Cemetery is very rich and generous, and she once transported tens of thousands of units of food to us when our Blackstone Fort was in danger." The dwarven ranger on the side added.

"Okay, then what are we waiting for, let's go!" Levi glanced at the shattered armor, apparently his master had been through a rather brutal battle in his lifetime.

"Thanato, bury him, he's the corpse of a warrior, and he can't be defiled by those filthy ratmen." This corpse made Levi understand that the path he and the others were on was not wrong, then its mission was completed, and it was impossible for Levi to leave with him.

But Tanato, however, did not immediately follow Levi's order: "Wait, my lord, that's exactly what I want to say. ”

"Oh, what's wrong?" Levi had never doubted Tanato's loyalty, so he knew that the other party had definitely made an important discovery.

Tanato bent down and lifted the face armor of the corpse on the ground, "Look, my lord. ”

Levi looked over, and then he immediately wondered, "What's going on?" ”

The curious Hua Meisi also looked over, and then she also cried out, "Why is there nothing in here?" ”

Levi immediately ordered directly: "Remove all the other parts of his armor!" ”

The swordsmen were quick to get into action, and when they were done, the others who had heard Bloomus's exclamation gathered around them.

Sure enough, as Wallmez had said, the armor was scarred on the outside, but it was empty inside, and there was no broken warrior corpse that Levi had expected.

But Levi was 100% sure that this corpse, no, strictly speaking, should be this armor, and this armor had definitely experienced a terrible battle before.

After being slightly surprised, Levi became more interested in this Draken family, because whether the owner of this armor escaped from the armor out of thin air, or this armor itself is a combat unit, it is enough to show that the other party is powerful.

Levi was more inclined to the latter, as the armor was obviously not of the usual thickness, and it was difficult to accommodate a full-grown male warrior. Being able to operate such armor in battle, this Lady Draken is likely to be a magician!

But since the other party is just a piece of armor, there is no need to bury it.

"Leave it alone, I can't wait to meet this lady of the Draken family."

After a cursory cleaning of the battlefield, Levi and the others continued to set off, and soon they found more traces, which were a large number of greenskin and nezumi corpses, they didn't know why there was a chaotic battle here, and left at least hundreds of broken corpses.

Well, there were also some human corpses, and several sets of full-coverage armor also decorated with black rose coats of arms, and after Levi ordered the other party's visor to be opened, he found that it was also empty, which looked like a three-way scuffle.

And Levi noticed that some of the corpses of the ratmen were obviously not killed by cold weapons, because several of them did not have any scars on the surface, and the other green-skinned corpses were also several circles smaller as if they had shrunk, which was definitely not the effect that ordinary physical attacks could achieve, Levi's previous guess seemed to have been verified, even if the woman from the Draken family was not a mage unit, she definitely had a subordinate who could use spells!

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the southeast, the squeaky sound characteristic of the nezumi, and the excited roars of the greenskins and goblins, but more often than not, the muffled sound of weapons hitting the body and the chaotic running sound, it sounded as if there was a pursuit going on!

Livingston became excited: "All ready to fight!" ”

The area they were currently in was a fairly wide passage, ideal for large-scale troop engagements, and with a completely solid stone wall behind them, it was a perfect place to choose a battlefield, as Levi no longer had to send out men to be wary of enemies popping up from behind.

Soon, after Levi's formation was completed, the noisy sound quickly approached here, and then Levi saw a large group of rat-men who looked very embarrassed suddenly appeared in the passage in front of him, and the pursuers further behind were not all the greenskins that Levi had guessed before, but most of them were some well-equipped goblins.

These goblins are completely different from the goblins that Levi encountered in the wild before, these goblins have darker skin tones, larger sizes, and a little more muscles on their bodies, and in addition to the weapons and simple leather armor that are obviously specially made by craftsmen and suitable for the goblin body type, these goblins' eyes are constantly turning, and they look very cunning, which those spicy chicken goblins in the wild do not have at all!

As soon as they came out of the passage, the rat people saw that the humans who were waiting for them blocked the way, and they were obviously stunned, but soon the goblins behind had rushed up to attack them, in this case, even if the rat people were unwilling, they could only be forced to attack Levi and the others.

Because compared to these humans with unknown strength in front of them, those guys in the back are enemies who can definitely kill them, so it's better to try their luck, maybe the humans in front of you are some weak guys!

In the face of the surging rat frenzy, Hua Meisi did not have the slightest fear, but was very excited to apply a buff skill to himself: "Levi, who should we fight first?" ”

Levi's gaze quickly swept over the goblins and ratmen in front of him, and then he roughly judged the strength of the other party, the rats were basically slave rats and clan rats, plus some relatively rare, holding giant slingshots of rats, he did not find any storm rats, nor did he find any rat thieves, in general, it was a group of cannon fodder, but there were a lot of them, almost more than ten squads.

And the greenskins because there are still a lot of blockages in the passage, he can't judge the number for a while, but judging from the sound, the number of the other party should be inferior to the rat people, but the quality of their troops is definitely not weak, these goblins who look very cunning are all equipped with standard weapons and leather armor, this is at least a second-order unit, and most of the troops under his command are of the same level, and there are even a few guys with long-handled war hammers in both hands, the muscles on their bodies are very obvious, I'm afraid it has to be a third-order class.

"Ranged troops prioritize gathering fire to attack those goblins, as for the melee troops of you, Bloomus," Levi paused slightly, seeing that all his subordinates were listening intently, he smiled, and then waved the long sword in his hand fiercely, "Of course, whoever runs to you will be killed first, because they are all our enemies!" ”

"Okay, I got it!" "Yes, sir!"

The subordinates replied one after another, but overall, except for the half-breed hunter Dahl, most of them were not too nervous, because they were all considered to be experienced in combat, and they had fought with the nezumi many times today, so they all quickly saw that the nezumi in front of them were only numerous, but in fact, their strength was not very good.

As for those goblins who seem to be stronger, that's the task of a few of their strongest people in Tanato, and it has nothing to do with most of them, right?

The surging nezumi quickly crashed directly into the melee troops, but after a few seconds, they immediately regretted it, because these humans were much more ferocious than the goblins behind them!

The rats squeaked and screamed as they tried to find a way out, but soon they found that neither the humans in front of them nor the goblins behind them had given them any chance, and they seemed to have begun to make the same choice tacitly, that is, to kill their own nezumi first, and then carry out the final battle.

The number of rats who were jointly attacked was declining rapidly, but there were hardly any waves, and as the number of rats continued to decrease, this passage finally made room for the follow-up goblins, so that Levi could see the opponent's strength, there were almost five to six squads of goblins, compared with their own troops, their numbers did not occupy an absolute advantage.

It's just that in addition to a few goblins with big hammers, Levi has discovered a new kind of enemy, which is a small monster with a height of about one meter four or five, a shark-like head full of sharp teeth that occupies most of its body, and only two strong thighs, and a short and thick tail, which looks very incongruous, but no one will doubt its attack power.

There were two of these small monsters, and they were like a pair of left and right protectors, standing next to a goblin wearing chain mail with a short sword.

Of course, they don't seem to be entirely voluntary, as they are all chained around their bodies, and the other end of the chain is in the goblin's hand, and it appears that they are under its control.

Although the two small monsters were very manic, opening their mouths from time to time and making threatening movements towards Levi and the others, they never really participated in the battle, so Levi couldn't judge the strength of the other party for a while.

As if noticing Levi's gaze, the goblin who seemed to be the leader laughed: "Humans, and you dwarf winter melons, you have come to the wrong place, the night goblins will kill you all!" ”

Hearing its words, several dwarven rangers who were shooting with the rat people were all angry immediately, and began to curse back without hesitation, there is no doubt that the dwarf winter melon mentioned by the other party refers to them, although strictly speaking, the height of these goblins is only half a pound and eight taels compared to the dwarves.

But at least their swearing quickly made Levi know that these cunning-looking goblins were not ordinary goblins, but a creature known as the Night Goblins, which were stronger and more intelligent than ordinary goblins.

Under the angry scolding of several dwarves, the night goblin leader soon fell into an absolute disadvantage, because among their goblins, only it could scold people, and the other goblins were relatively stupid, and they had not learned the advanced skill of scolding, and it immediately became a little annoyed.

"You damn dwarf winter melons, let you taste the power of Squiggmon!"
