As soon as he left the tavern, Levi noticed that countless troops were pouring in one direction in the streets. Among them are the aborigines, but more often than not, the chosen heroes and their men.

Most of them are dwarves, but occasionally there are a few humans, all of whom have recently arrived at Blackstone from the imperial border city of Helmgat, which is arguably the closest human city to Blackstone.

Levi also rushed over with the crowd and went to the first floor of the Blackstone Fort Fortress, which was the battle area directly adjacent to the outside world.

That's right, the dwarven Blackstone Fort fortress is layered. Despite its name, Blackstone Fort was built by hollowing out the entire mountain.

Although the dwarves have adopted a strict military blockade for areas below a certain level, whether it is Levi, the dwarves' chosen heroes, or ordinary dwarven natives, they are not allowed to continue to advance. So Levi didn't know how many floors Blackstone Fort there were, but even the area that was currently open to the public had six floors.

The first level has direct access to the plains, which is where the dwarven armies are assembled and where they are most fortified. The dwarves built walls, watchtowers and other defensive structures here, and arranged a large number of war machines such as cannons. A little farther out is the main area where the dwarves and greenskins, beastmen and other enemies are fighting.

The second to sixth floors are basically commercial and living areas with various markets, taverns, houses, breweries, and the base camps of various clans.

However, based on the information that has been revealed so far in Blackstone Castle, Levi has roughly estimated that there are probably at least three to five floors in the area blocked by the dwarves, and if the dwarves work hard enough and dig deep enough into the ground, it is not impossible to do more. It's just that he doesn't have any relevant information yet, and even the Brute Hammer Clan, which has a good relationship with him, has not revealed any information, so Levi has to put aside this question for the time being.

When Levi arrived, he found that the walls were already full of dwarves with all kinds of weapons. In addition to the large number of Chosen Heroes who came to join in the fun, as well as the subordinates they led, Levi also saw many dwarves who were armed to the teeth and looked like high-level troops.

There are even some dwarves whose weapons and equipment are printed with all kinds of runes, and they can't help but exude a faint magical light, looking at the envious eyes of Tiemu and Burke Yansu, Levi knows that they are definitely some high-level rune equipment, which he has never seen before, looking at their fierce appearance, they should be the leader of these dwarves.

Coupled with some dwarves constantly shouting and correcting war machines such as cannons, and helicopters hovering back and forth in the sky from time to time, Levi knew that this was definitely a big operation!

By the time he managed to squeeze to the front of the wall, Levi quickly knew why this was happening. Because on the plain outside the city, the beastmen who used to be in the east and west were now gathered together very abnormally.

Ignoring the rules of system refresh, ignoring their respective alert and patrol ranges, they are now rushing towards Blackstone Castle, apparently to attack this dwarven fortress!

"Oh my God, it can't be a monster attacking the city!"

A male human player to Levi's left shouted Levi's heart, and then his words were also recognized by a large number of players around him, and everyone began to discuss it.

"That's right, it must be so, otherwise they wouldn't be so united, and the beastmen of different races would have fought themselves!"

"Thousands of beastmen are killed every day outside Blackstone Castle, and I've never seen them like this before."

"A friend of mine was killed by the beastmen directly when he was in the wild, and most of his subordinates died, which can be said to be a heavy loss."

"But the dwarves of Blackstone Fort don't seem to pay much attention, they only fire one shot at the beginning, and then they don't move." It was still the man who had first shouted that the monster was attacking the city, and Levi couldn't help but look sideways, because the other party seemed to have come quite early, and he might have some information that he didn't know.

"Brother, it looks like you know something about it?"

The other party first glanced at Levi's equipment, as well as the dwarven troops following behind him, he immediately showed a look of surprise, but he quickly smiled and said: "Brother, it seems that you have been here for a long time, but I don't seem to have seen you in Hermgart before." ”

Helmgart, is the border city of the Human Empire, and it is also the closest human spawn point to the Black Stone Castle in the Empire.

At least Levi hasn't seen any players from the Knight Kingdom yet, and there is still a big difference in appearance between the two countries' troops, which is easy to tell with a little look.

Levi snorted, "Because I'm not from Hermgart, it's a bit of a long way off, but it's worth it." He didn't reveal his true origins, and while it wasn't a secret, there was no need to tell a stranger he had just met.

The other party didn't care about Levi's somewhat cold attitude, but took the initiative to come over with a smile: "Hello, brother, I'm burning ice, I don't know if you have a guild, brother?" Some friends and I were recently planning to form a guild, a guild made up entirely of human players from Helmgart, and we would be able to take care of each other in a place we didn't know well. ”

Levi shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, I already have a guild, and I am the leader of the guild, you can call me Levi." ”

His intuition told him that the other party seemed to know something, but after a short contact, he knew that although this burning ice looked about twenty-three or four years old, not much older than himself, he was probably a real old fritter.

"Oh, that's a shame, but Levi, let's add a friend, maybe there will be a chance to cooperate in the future, after all, we are all human players from the Empire."

Levi didn't refuse this, anyway, in this game, simply adding a friend, at most, can remind you that you once knew someone, what race you belong to, what name you name, and there is almost no effect on the other side.

The burning ice wanted to say something, but then there was a sudden commotion from behind, and then the crowd quickly parted, and a large group of soldiers who looked quite advanced came over with a few white-bearded dwarves, and among them there was even an acquaintance of Levi, who was an elder belonging to the Brute Hammer clan and Tiemu's uncle Iron Lock.

It's just that at the moment he is in the middle of the ranks, and there are at least a dozen old dwarfs in front of him, and obviously, he is definitely not the tallest in the ranks of these people.

Timber apparently noticed his uncle as well, "Hey, the old guy is there too, but how did he get mixed up with those guild guys?" ”

The elite Iron Guard Burke said in a deep voice beside him: "I am more concerned about the guards around them, if I can obtain the armor on their bodies, my strength is definitely not just what it is now." ”

Hearing Burke say this, Tiemu couldn't help but scratch his head: "That's meteoric iron, the highest grade metal that only rune blacksmiths can smelt, except for the king's guards, only the broken iron warriors and a very small number of the most elite long-bearded warriors can get it, we don't even have rune weapons now, don't think about it so much." ”

The elite guard was speechless, and although he was confident in his strength, he didn't think he was as strong as the powerful dwarven warriors who outnumbered him in age and strength, and he wasn't so arrogant.

While Temu spoke, Levi just watched and listened quietly, while Tiehu, an elite butcher who was also a dwarf, just snorted coldly and didn't interject.

It wasn't until Ironwood finished speaking that Levi asked, "Ironwood, what guilds are you talking about?" ”

Of course, he wouldn't think that the guild that the other party was talking about was the same thing as the guild he formed, and as for those high-level troops and what meteorite, he only secretly wrote it down and didn't ask questions, because it was obviously not something he could get into at this stage.

"Guilds, trade associations, miners, blacksmiths...

Before Temu could finish speaking, a loud male voice had already sounded: "Fellow dwarves, and human friends, these foul-smelling beastmen have arrived in Blackstone Castle, and now it's time for us to take out our battle axes and fight fiercely, so that they can taste our strength!" ”

An old dwarf with a silver-white beard, even wrapped around his waist like an apron, and looked very old, continued to roar: "In order to encourage your struggle, His Majesty the King and the presidents of the various guilds have unanimously decided to fully support you in your battle. With the exploits you have earned in this battle, you can come to our guilds and exchange them for everything you want! ”

Levi still didn't know why, but almost all the dwarven natives in front of him and behind him exploded with a bang, as if they had heard something big and surprised.

"Levi, this is a good opportunity, we must work hard!" Temu was very excited to wave his battle axe, and it looked like he was about to jump.

Levi wanted to ask a question, but at this time, the system's prompt had already sounded: "You have triggered the regional mission: clear the beastmen, assist the Blackstone Castle to exterminate the beastmen outside the city, you can get the corresponding prestige rewards and experience points according to the combat performance, and at the same time, the merits obtained in this battle can be exchanged for various items at the major guilds in the Blackstone Castle or the quartermasters of the major clans after the battle."

And based on all the merits earned, the top 10 Chosen Heroes will receive items that are personally sponsored by the King of Blackstone Castle.

The following are the names of all the guilds of this mission: Miners' Guild, Blacksmith's Guild, Engineer's Guild, Ranger Guild... ”

Levi took a look and found that these guilds should be based on professions, almost all of them have them, but what Levi values most is one of them called the Rune Blacksmith Federation, not because of its special name, but because he has heard Temu and them talk about runes too many times before, and this guild has a high chance of exchanging rune weapons and armor for them!

Seeing the boiling crowd, the old dwarf who had just spoken nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly raised a battle axe with flashing runes in his right hand, and waved it fiercely: "For the great ancestors, for the fearless, for the goddess Valaya, let's fight it out!" ”

As if in response to the old dwarf's words, several cannons on the city wall roared in unison, and then several blank areas suddenly appeared among the beastmen who were originally gathering towards the Black Stone Castle, and there was no doubt that where the cannonballs fell, all the beastmen affected, whether they were Chaos War Dogs, Centaurs, or Razor Beasts and Great Horned Beasts, were all killed in an instant, and even the bones were not left intact, this is the power of the dwarf cannon!

After a brief silence, there was a louder shout, and then the gates of Blackstone Citadel opened, and some of the dwarven natives rushed out first, followed by more dwarven chosen heroes, with their troops, shouting and charging at the increasing and almost boundless beastmen.

The number of people around Levi was also rapidly decreasing, and they all left the city walls and went to fight outside the city themselves, because if they ran slowly, those beastmen would be killed!

Seeing this scene, the corners of Burning Ice's mouth twitched, he was one of the few players who still remained calm and stayed on the city wall.

"I thought it would be a defensive battle, but I didn't expect them to open the gates and take the initiative to charge?"

Levi smiled, "I thought so too, but did you notice the name of that mission?" It's to clear the beastmen, not to defend. Do you think those players are stupid? No, absolutely not. Because they all know that even with these cannons alone, these beastmen can't pose any threat to Blackstone Castle at all! ”

The burning ice pondered for a moment, hey, it seems to be true!

He was immediately a little anxious, blaming himself for coming to Blackstone Fort for being too short, and he didn't know a lot of information, if he had known about this, he should have gone there together!

But soon he stopped, for his newfound friend hadn't moved yet. Looking at the terrifying troops behind the other party, this is obviously a super master, and the few dwarven players who are following him are not simple goods, and the other party may have good ideas.

"Hey, brother, why aren't you in a hurry?"

Levi heard that it was you, not you, that he must have considered both Ironwood and Burke players. It's no wonder that their performance is not much different from that of players, at least after a short period of exposure, it is difficult to tell from the outside.

"Well, I want to see if there is anything that can be exchanged first, and then go down, anyway, the number of beastmen outside seems to be very large, and they should not be killed in a short time, and we have been developing very well recently."

Burning Ice heard what the other party had not finished, that is, even if they delayed this little time, they didn't care at all, because their strength was much stronger than other players, and they had this confidence!

But I don't. If you're a newcomer, you should earn more or more. As for what you can redeem now, it's not much use, because if you don't have enough merit, just looking at those things won't do anything.

"Okay, brother, then I won't wait for you first, I'll see you later!"

"Okay, goodbye."

After saying goodbye to the burning ice, Levi walked briskly to the east, where Ironwood's uncle, Ironlock, was in a daze dealing with a few dwarven players who were also missing.

However, Levi knew that the other party was most likely waiting for him, because he had just looked at himself more than once, as well as the ironwood beside him.

Seeing Levi coming over, Iron Lock immediately perked up, and he casually fooled a few words, throwing aside a few dwarven players who were entangled around him: "Just in time, Levi!" ”

"Hello, Elder Ironlock, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Although they were already familiar with each other, the dwarves sometimes didn't care much about those etiquette issues, such as Iron Lock often arguing with his nephew Tiemu, and even more so foul language, but Levi still greeted him politely, because it was his habit.

Tie Suo first glanced at his nephew, and found that the other party was still that heartless, and then he muttered: "Well, actually, I can't say too much, otherwise it will be unfair to the other boys, but one thing I can tell you, the Ten Thousand Demon Rock is the key, destroying one Ten Thousand Demon Rock is enough for you to exchange for a helicopter, although I always thought that thing was very unsafe, but undeniably, they are indeed useful!" ”

"Helicopters? Can you even exchange it for a helicopter this time? ”

Even Levi, who had been prepared for a long time, was also a little frightened at this time, you must know that Blackstone Fort had already opened the merit exchange service before, and that place was still very close to the Aurora Firm, like the Iron Lock Elder in front of him was the person in charge of the Brute Hammer Clan, but there had never been such a thing as a helicopter in that list, it was a 4th-order flying class!

Iron Lock seemed to be very satisfied with Levi's expression, he reached out and stroked his beard: "This is a special reward just for this battle, after this incident, it will not be so easy to redeem it." For example, the Rune Blacksmith Guild, it's not so simple to want their things in normal times, after all, runes are their treasures. ”

Levi immediately understood that this was probably a temporary permission to encourage players.

So, is this Beastman Plague really coming to an end? A little sooner than he expected, it seems that the impact of the beastmen's ravages on the natives is not as small as he thought.

But that's right. Blackstone Fort certainly has the absolute strength to ignore them, but other smaller villages and towns are afraid that they will suffer a lot in this disaster.

According to the information I got on the forum, a novice village as powerful as Oak Village has not had much energy to fight with those fishmen recently due to the impact of the Beastman plague.

And the strength of Oak Village, in the novice village of all camps and races, I am afraid it has to be at the forefront. They are still like this, and a novice village like Niujiao Village, which doesn't even have many second-order troops, must be very affected.

Even without the help of the players, it is not impossible that their entire village will be slaughtered directly by the beastmen!

"Okay, I see, I'm going to fight!"
