Chapter 282: Dark Ant-Man's Lair
According to the information provided by the gray dwarf Duke Hemlock, Levi and the others soon arrived at the Dark Ant-Man's lair, a huge complex covering an area of thousands of square meters that looked like a collection of countless egg-shaped rooms.
If you are a person with dense phobia, it will definitely be very, very uncomfortable. And the buildings that look like these eggs still seem to be in a way that Levi can't understand too much now, forming a complex complex of buildings large and small, connected by various vertical and horizontal passages.
That is, they are not completely finished yet, so Levi can see some details from the side. If they are really completed, even if there is an enemy attacking head-on, I am afraid that they will soon be divided by these buildings, and these dark ants can gradually defeat the enemy by virtue of their geographical advantage.
A series of exclamations rang out behind him, and the members of the Watchers Guild were obviously amazed by the building in front of them, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could imagine, let alone build.
Uh,It doesn't seem right to say that.,Dark Ant-Man has a human character in their name.,But they don't really seem to be human...
Changqing Jian was a little surprised: "Boss, don't you say that this ant shouldn't be digging a hole in the ground?" How did they build so many things directly on the ground? ”
Levi retracted his thoughts, and he glanced at the Evergreen Sword: "Are you stupid, aren't we in the underground world now?" ”
"Huh?" Changqing Jian was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly snorted to hide his embarrassment, "Then, boss, when are we going to attack, it seems that these Dark Ant-Man's defensive buildings have not been perfected, and they are still building houses there." ”
"Well, give the order and prepare to attack. However, it should not be taken lightly, ants have always been known for their numbers and unity, and these dark ant-men will not be much of an exception, and even the gray dwarves are afraid of them, they will certainly not be particularly simple. ”
Although he was a little amazed by the other party's construction ability, it was a pity to destroy such a building directly, but they were in the hostile camp of each other, and what Levi wanted was the foundation on which the other party depended for survival, so he had to be ruthless.
"Okay, boss, I'll go!"
With the order of the Evergreen Sword, the troops of thousands of people were quickly mobilized, although they were damaged in the previous battle with Ms. Bai, they were not injured at all, especially the long-range troops among them, which were very well preserved.
Their big movement naturally attracted the attention of the Dark Ant People in the distance, and soon these two-meter-long, six-legged humanoid creatures with six legs, who were two meters long, formed a simple defensive front in front of their huge unfinished nest.
Although the arms are weaker than ordinary humans, the Dark Ant People have six limbs, except for a pair of legs used to move, they can use four arms to use weapons, so many Ant-People are dual-wielding weapons, or use super long guns, but their weapons are relatively much weaker, basically few are completely made of metal, it seems that either their forging skills are not up to par, or they do not have enough metal resources.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, there is almost no big difference in the appearance of these humanoid ants, but after careful identification, Levi still found the difference, because not long ago, he had seen the chaotic battle between the dead White Lady and the Beastmen, and many of them were controlled by the White Lady.
Almost all Dark Ant-Men have a layer of pitch-black natural armor, but the more advanced Dark Soldier Ants, those Tier 3 units, have some distinctive black-and-red stripes on their armor, as if to indicate their identity and status.
After the evergreen sword reported that everyone was ready, Levi waved his hand and signaled to attack, he didn't come here to stare at the other party so big-eyed, he was here to destroy the other party's lair, and then grab the heart of the town from the other party's ruins!
With Levi's order, the ranged troops immediately began to exert their might, first with mortar bombardment, then muskets and crossbows, and from time to time Levi also applied a storm of arrows or firing to his troops to strengthen their attacks.
Members of his guild also flex their abilities, either attacking enemies or using various support skills to strengthen their troops.
Being able to be selected by Levi and brought to participate in this battle itself shows their ability, and those players with poor strength are still under the leadership of some guild backbones, to do all kinds of large and small tasks, or to go to the next dungeon.
Under their attack, these dark ants immediately suffered heavy casualties, but in the back nest from time to time there are new companions to join the battle, so they will not be completely defeated in a short time, and then they don't know where to receive any information, these dark ant people no longer passively defensive, but began to fight back.
It's just that they need to survive the hail of bullets on Levi's side and get in front of Levi's side of the melee troops, and they don't seem to have many ranged troops.
"What, I thought they would be very powerful, but now that I look at it, most of these big ants are only 2nd order troops, and less than a fifth of them are 3rd order."
Changqing Sword was a little disdainful, because now in just a few minutes, there have been at least hundreds of corpses belonging to the Dark Ant-Man in front of him, and this number is still growing rapidly, these guys can't rush forward at all, and they are directly killed by their own powerful firepower on the way.
"But don't underestimate them entirely, they are still highly resistant to ranged attacks, especially bow and arrow attacks. And did you notice the guys with extra-long guns? ”
Levi didn't just watch the excitement here, he was also constantly evaluating the opponent's abilities in all aspects, because with the continuous killing, he had already opened the opponent's class illustrated, and he could see most of the attributes and data, and finally he found that if these guys could be recruited, they would still be very good cannon fodder troops.
"Oh, boss, you said those guys, they're quite special, normal ordinary spearmen and halberders or something, their weapons basically range from 1.5 meters to two meters 2, and these guys' weapons are almost three meters five, right?"
"That's right, I'm not afraid of bows and arrows, and I can deal with cavalry, as long as it's not particularly expensive to recruit, this is simply the best choice for dealing with cavalry units."
It is precisely because of this that Levi has no intention of sending them to the court until now. Ordinary cavalry units, even if they are Tier 4 Imperial Knights, are too easy to lose in the face of such a horde of Dark Ant-Men, and it is not worth it to lose in battle with them, they can casually pull out more companions from behind, just like the huge portal that links behind.
Of course, Levi knew that these spears of more than three meters were not particularly exaggerated, you must know that in the Qin and Han dynasties in the real world, super spears of seven meters or even ten meters appeared on the battlefield at every turn, specifically to deal with cavalry and chariots from the north, etc., which was simply to use those barbarians as sugar gourds to wear strings.
"Boss, you're right, but we haven't encountered any cavalry enemies so far...
Levi snorted, "That's because you've been moving around Blackstone Fort, it's full of rocks and dwarven territory, but if you go outside, you'll inevitably encounter cavalry units." Moreover, I'm not just talking about dealing with these aborigines, now that the major guilds have begun to form cavalry units, we watchmen will not take the initiative to provoke right and wrong, but we must also take precautions in advance. ”
Although Levi usually doesn't communicate with other players and only likes to play games by himself, he has always collected information about related aspects, and even with the gradual development and expansion of him and the Warden, it is not surprising that he has received many pulls from various forces, and even the dwarven guild in the mountains far east of the empire has expressed goodwill to him.
For example, in the Knight Kingdom's current largest guild, the Avengers, more than once expressed goodwill to him through Shangqi, who had a relationship with him, and there was also a lot of exchange and communication between them.
Although Levi has not yet given a very clear reply to the other party about when to let the Avengers and the Wardens form an alliance, they both know that it will only be a matter of time, because they have a common little trouble, that is, the Dark-Blood Brotherhood entrenched in Maple Leaf Village, not far from Oak Village.
After Levi left Oak Village, the Darkblood Brotherhood spent a certain amount of time and cost to finally turn Maple Leaf Village into their own territory, and at the same time figured out Levi's identity.
It's just that Levi had already left at that time, which caused them to have a grudge and no place to revenge, and Oak Village and the Far Wanderer camp belonged to the official Knight Kingdom, and they didn't dare to move, unless they didn't plan to mix in the Knight Kingdom.
In the end, they can only vent their anger by spreading rumors everywhere and smearing Levi, saying that Levi was scared away by them.
At first, no one paid much attention to this matter, because Levi did not have any reputation in the Knight Kingdom at all, but soon the Avengers stood up and took the initiative to clarify the matter for Levi, and condemned a series of bad behaviors of the Darkblood Brotherhood, and Levi's fame spread rapidly because of this, because the Avengers have now become the undoubted number one guild in the Knight Kingdom, and there is not even anyone who can challenge them.
And because of the strength of the Avengers, the Dark-Blood Brotherhood dared not speak out for a while, although they also secretly developed their strength in the knight kingdom, but they couldn't and didn't dare to confront each other head-on, and in the end this matter was over.
And the Avengers don't know why they didn't clean up the power of the Darkblood Brotherhood, but according to the recent communication between the two sides, Levi secretly estimated that when he returned to Oak Village, it would be almost time for this matter to end.
Levi was a little distracted now, his mind was no longer on the battlefield, which was still a very rare thing for him, but he couldn't help it, it was because the current battle was too boring.
Even after suffering a terrible price, the Dark Ant Men finally broke through the blockade of the ranged units and began to fight with the melee troops on Levi's side, but most of them were Tier 2 units, and only a few relatively elite Shadow Ant Ants were Tier 3, but except for the numerical advantage, the others were not worth mentioning at all.
Players at this stage, who don't have a team of 3rd order units in their hands, and even elite players like Levi brought out this time, although they are far from being comparable to Levi, but a team and a half of 4th order troops, they can still take it, so although the attack of the Dark Ant people looks very fierce, the damage that can actually be caused is very limited.
Especially the newly joined Poseidon Knight Werner under Levi's command, after using his battle skills Flowing Water Protector and Battle Treasure Black Flag, a layer of aqua blue armor has covered the melee troops on the front line, their defense has been further enhanced, and the damage of those dark soldier ants to them has become more inconspicuous, and it is inevitable that Levi will get bored.
"President, a new class of troops has appeared on the other side, and it seems that it is still the main force!" A very excited male voice rang in Levi's ears, compared to Levi himself, or the evergreen sword, this voice seemed extraordinarily young.
Levi looked up and found that it was a new guild mid-level that he had promoted, a player from the imperial border city of Hermgart.
"Ah, I see," Levi casually chatted with the other party while observing the new enemies, "By the way, Yaori, have you been online a lot lately, is it a school holiday?" ”
Yao Ri immediately held his chest very proudly: "That's right, President, we have a holiday, now I have time to play games, and sooner or later I will catch up with Brother Purple and Brother Night." ”
That's right, the reason why Yao Ri has a young voice is because he is still a high school student in school, and he is very young.
However, this does not mean that his strength is weak, in fact, although he spends less time playing games than many guild members, his strength can barely be called first-class in the entire guild, although he is basically in the state of the tail of a first-class crane.
In addition to the fact that this guy is a master of the game, he is also very lucky, he is one of the few players in the guild who has made the switch to a legal profession at an early age, he is a priest who believes in Hendrick, the god of imperial trading.
Although he does not have much power in the frontal battlefield, when negotiating with the aborigines, he can often get quite good discounts, buy cheaper things, and sell more expensive things.
And if he is on the street, or in the wild, he meets some aborigines of the same camp, he may also spend a certain amount of money to directly recruit the other party to his command, which is a lot more than the recruitment channels of ordinary players, so although his overall time playing the game is not as good as many people, but his strength is not too bad, Levi is preparing to train the other party to be his logistics director, not to mention anything else, just by virtue of his identity as the priest of the god of trading, he can save a lot of money for the guild.
As for the purple brother and the night brother he said, they are also several masters newly promoted by Levi, and their relationship with Yao Ri is also not bad.
After a few casual conversations, the new classes began to move towards Levi's side, and soon allowed Levi to see their appearances.
Compared with ordinary Dark Soldier Ants, these guys are more sturdy, and the blood-red lines on Zhou's body are several times more, which looks a little weird, but the most important thing is that in addition to the weapons in their hands, they also carry several identical weapons behind their backs, which are javelins!
"Yao Ri, tell the evergreen sword to strengthen the front line defense. Orfini, have a spell. ”
Soon, the evergreen sword, which had received Levi's warning, made adjustments, and in fact, he didn't need Levi's reminder to remind him, and he himself quickly noticed this. At the same time, a hazy black mist floated up, this mist was caused by magic, it would not have any effect on your team, but the enemy's ranged units would have a much lower hit rate when attacking.
For example, these dark ants who use javelins now don't know what to do for a while, because they can't see the enemy in front of them clearly, and the fierce attacks in the black fog never stop.
But soon they seemed to have received some information, they began to desperately throw javelins at the black mist in front of them, and they were concentrated on a small area, the infantry units that were hit were instantly killed and wounded, their concentrated fire was still very powerful, and the originally tight defense line was opened a small gap.
At the same time, these extraordinarily powerful Ant-Man also directly followed the direction of the javelin and launched a charge, although it was not as fast as the speed of the war horse, but coupled with their own weight, the power was also not to be underestimated, and the original gap was further expanded.
Then some of the dark ant-men with deeper blood-red lines on their bodies and two short spears in their mouths suddenly came out of the ground and merged with the ant-men who threw spears, and then their six limbs worked together, and they jumped up directly from the ground, passing over many ordinary defense troops, and the target was the direction where Levi was.
It's just probably because Ophini's magic mist misled them, or they didn't calculate it themselves, the place where they appeared was still thirty or forty meters away from Levi, and there were at least hundreds of people in between, among which there were a large number of masters under Levi's command, such as Huames and Tanato, even if they could jump and pass some enemies, but if they wanted to attack Levi, it was impossible to attack Levi in a short time.
Then Levi could see clearly that they had two short spears in their mouths, and that thing was their extremely mutated upper jaw, which was almost like the two tusks of an elephant, which grew on their heads!
"Holy? What the hell is this? Ants can even jump? Don't they only know what to do before and after? Do you still know up and down? ”
A loud voice came from behind Levi, and then Levi saw a big, shiny bald head appear in front of him.
This guy is tall and sturdy, with a full beard that makes it impossible to see his real age, but there is no hair on his head, he looks like the flower monk Lu Zhishen in the Water Margin, but he uses not the flower monk's Zen staff, but a mace full of barbs.
The big bald head put his head in front of Levi, and said with a smile on his face: "Boss, let me kill them!" By the way, I caught two heads and came back, it was the first time I saw ants that could jump! ”
"Ah, Sky Lone Star, it's you, then you go and kill them. But not all ants can't jump.,For example, this kind of guy that looks like a head with horns.,They should be based on the real-world hunting sickle ants.,They've always been.。。。 ”
Halfway through Levi's speech, he saw the big bald head in front of him with a confused face, and he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, okay, Tian Lone Star, these guys will be left to you!" ”
"Gotcha! Look, you're there!"
The big bald Sky Lone Star arched his hand, then turned around and ran, as he ran, he took out a huge book more than half a meter long, with metal ramming angles, connected by thick chains, which could be used as a shield, held it high above his head, and shouted loudly: "For Sigmar, for the Empire!" ”
As he shouted, a white and golden light had already surrounded his whole body, and then a large number of bald men around him who were also holding maces quickly converged, and they also raised their maces at the same time, responding to the Sky Lone Star: "For Sigmar, for the Empire!" ”
Sky Lone Star nodded with satisfaction, and then the mace pointed directly at the many dark ants in front of him: "Attack, kill them all!" ”
