Chapter 170: Ranger Outpost
In the next moment, Levi saw about a half group, less than 20 dwarves armed with battle axes and crossbows, rushing out of the small outpost, roaring and mercilessly attacking the skeletons and zombies left on the battlefield.
Although the height is shorter than the other party, the effect of these dwarves' attacks is quite significant, and with an axe, the ordinary 1st order undead are basically dead, even the 2nd order undead are seriously injured, and it can be seen that the strength of these dwarves is still quite good, at least it is also a 2nd order of troops, and even a few of them have a high probability of having elite templates.
If there were two times as many of them, and a few commanders were there, I am afraid that without the help of Levi, these dwarves themselves would be able to repel the attacks of the undead.
Seeing these dwarves, the Black Stone Fort Flying Axe Men who were still by Levi's side also suddenly became excited, looking at his appearance, if it weren't for wanting to repay the favor, I am afraid that he would rush directly with the axe.
However, the friendly army is so powerful, Levi is not too bad, he directly launched the order of the general attack, anyway, by now, there is no suspense about victory or not, it is better to seize the time to grab more experience points and loot from the hands of these dwarves.
With the joint efforts of the two armies, the undead who were soon weakened by the withdrawal of the necromancer were killed by them, leaving only the bones that smelled of decay all over the ground.
One of the dwarves with his beard hanging straight down to his belly gasped, then put away a pair of weapons that were very different from most dwarves - a pair of axes, and then he looked up at Levi, "Human, thank you for your help!" ”
Levi jumped off his horse with a smile: "Don't be so polite, because we have been allies since ancient times." ”
In this chaotic and dangerous world, every race needs to face dangers from all sides, and the strength of a race is limited after all, so it is essential to form an alliance with those races or forces of the same camp.
Dwarves and humans are the most natural allies, because both sides not only have common enemies, but also do not have any conflict of interests, humans are accustomed to the plains, and the dwarves, known as the sons of the mountains, only like to live in the mountains or even underground, while drinking, while mining, while fighting the goblins who also like to live underground, the greenskins and the Skaven rats.
The two sides also have various complements, for example, humans can sell food to the dwarves, after all, the ground without sunlight is suitable for growing high-yield wheat, and the dwarves' exquisite forging technology and rune magic, as well as all kinds of powerful gunpowder weapons produced by the dwarves, are also beyond the reach of human engineers, so the two races have been the most solid allies for thousands of years, and Levi is not wrong at all when he says this.
Of course, although they are both humans, the relationship between the empire and the dwarves, the largest human state in the Old World, is still closer than that between the knight kingdom and the humans, because they founded the country earlier, and their friendship with the dwarves is longer and deeper.
The bearded dwarf laughed twice: "That's right, human, we are all allies, welcome to our Blackstone Castle!" ”
As soon as the dwarf's voice fell, Levi heard the prompt of the system, and he had successfully opened the reputation system of the dwarves of Blackstone Castle, and directly brushed up neutrality, reaching a higher level of friendliness.
"Haha, of course, I've been looking forward to the wine of Blackstone Fort for a long time, it turns out that when I stayed in Oak Village, I could only drink some rough rice wine and fruit wine, and I wanted to taste the wine from the dwarves."
He wasn't lying, because he was severely allergic to alcohol in the real world, let alone drinking, even if he sprayed toilet water, he could faint for a long time, so he didn't dare to approach any alcohol products at all, but in this highly realistic game, he could taste this kind of thing without any scruples, so he didn't try it less when he was in Oak Village at first.
It's just that Oak Village is not superior in its own economic conditions, so there is no high-end wine, which soon made him a little tired, and this time he happened to come to the dwarven fortress to taste it.
He didn't hear his halflings say how good the dwarven beer was, and Bretonnia had almost no good wine other than Barto's brandy, and even the acorn wine, which was a specialty of Oak Village, could only barely be said to be passable, and it was far from the real good wine in the world.
Hearing Levi's words, the bearded dwarf's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found some kind of life confidant, and his eyes widened to look at Levi: "That's right, our dwarf's wine is the best in the world, you won't be disappointed with it!" ”
Speaking of this, the dwarf realized it later, he patted his head and looked up at Levi: "By the way, I haven't had time to ask your name yet, I'm Timber Brutehammer, a two-axe fighter from the Brute Hammer clan of Blackstone Castle, and the captain of this ranger outpost. ”
Levi knew the clan as a unit peculiar to dwarves.
Unlike the small family composed of a man and a woman and a few children, the dwarves are usually a large family composed of hundreds of people, that is, clans, because the birth rate of women in dwarves is far lower than that of men, basically only one or two out of every five or six newborns are women, which leads to many dwarf men can only fight singles for a lifetime, so after a long time, it finally forms a special aggregate of clans.
Although the birth rate of the entire dwarven race is not too high due to the scarcity of female members, it has a lot of advantages, that is, the dwarves of the same clan tend to be very united, and for those young dwarves, he will also have more uncles who treat him as his own son, whether he wants to learn to fight, or learn to black, or learn other things, he has more free teachers who are willing to teach him.
"Hello, warrior from the Brute Hammer Clan, I am Levi, the chosen hero from Oak Village in Bretonnia."
Although this is the first time Levi has seen so many dwarves in the game, he is ready to communicate with each other, dwarves are a very good-looking race, as long as you hold them, they will definitely be very happy, and the rest of the conversation will be much smoother.
Sure enough, the dwarf who was called a warrior by Levi was even more excited, and even his beard couldn't stop shaking, but he had seen the powerful subordinates of the human in front of him easily defeat the undead who besieged the outpost, and the other party now called himself a warrior, does that mean that he is also very powerful?
While his subordinates were cleaning up the battlefield, Levi chatted with the other party for a long time, and finally finally talked about the reason for the undead's attack.
"Oh, you say this, we saw those abominable undead chasing our friends at Blackstone Castle, so we didn't hesitate to attack them." Speaking of which, Ironwood Brute Hammer looked very proud.
Feelings turned out to be your initiative to attack the enemy?
Looking at the half-crippled dwarves around him, who were no more than two squads combined, and then looking at each other's triumphant looks, Levi didn't know what to say for a while.
You're really reckless.,It doesn't seem to be very reliable.。。。
However, for the sake of a so-called friend, he can take the initiative to attack enemies who are far stronger than himself, and it is no wonder that such a race is called the most suitable race for the most allies.
However, Levi was also a little curious: "Friend? What kind of friend is it? ”
"Oh, it's a human from the Imperial province of Nunn, he and his master helped us a lot, and even once when we were famine, they supported tens of thousands of of our units of food, and we in Blackstone Fort will always remember this kindness."
Speaking of which, even the dwarven Timwood Brutehammer, who didn't seem to be very reliable, his expression became solemn, and when it came to things like favors and friends, he definitely couldn't be so casual anymore.
Levi became more and more curious about this, he glanced at the already somewhat dilapidated outpost behind the other party, but did not find any human beings coming out, and just as he wanted to speak, a dwarf with a very panicked expression suddenly ran out of the outpost.
"Captain Ironwood, is that unconscious human vomiting blood again?"
Levi raised his eyebrows, the word "again" is really well used.
Timber Brutehammer's eyes widened suddenly: "What? Vomiting blood again? Will he be able to hold out until our reinforcements arrive? ”
After discovering the traces of a large number of undead, of course they did not sit still, although the dwarves have the courage to deal with the army alone, but they also do not want to die in vain, not to mention that there are friends of their own Blackstone Fort here, so they sent a messenger to Blackstone Fort for help as soon as possible, in addition to the fact that the number of these undead is a little too much, and the seriously injured human can no longer move, so they can only call someone to save her.
"I'm afraid it's unlikely, the messenger we sent out to ask for help hasn't reached Blackstone Fort yet!"
The dwarf who reported the news was also sweaty, although his intelligence level was not very high, but he was also a dwarf after all, and it was definitely a shame for the dwarf to watch a friend die here!
At this moment, Levi reached out and took several trophies handed to him by the Moorish knight Tanato, and after carefully checking them, he slapped his hands and slapped one of the broken parchment scrolls into a white light, and he learned a new skill on the spot, and it was a skill that happened to be useful here.
"Maybe I can help."
Hearing this, Timber Brute Hammer couldn't help but look at Levi with curiosity, although he didn't communicate with humans very often, but he also knew that the knights of the Knight Kingdom were very good at holding spears on the flat ground, but he had never heard that they could use magic?
Aren't they just as magically incapable of using as the dwarves? Those who know magic should be from the empire next door, right?
But no matter what doubts he had in his heart, the light just now still couldn't be faked, and the other party had just saved this place, out of the nature of the dwarf, he immediately chose to believe the other party, anyway, the worst would not be worse than now, if they let these rangers and warriors watch, that guy could only wait for death, which would make them even more embarrassed.
Following behind Ironwood Hammer, Levi quickly burrowed into the dwarven outpost.
I didn't see that although my height was a big difference with my own, and it was not at all comparable to my long legs, the speed of the very anxious Timber Brute Hammer was not very slow, and he ran to the outpost at a trot with a pair of small short legs.
Levi also hurried to follow, and at the same time, he did not forget a lot of his surroundings.
Well, it can be seen that these dwarves are really pragmatic enough, the interior of this outpost is basically not decorated, but is covered with all kinds of weapons and boxes of arrows, although in Levi's eyes, these are basically white quality equipment, and they are not valuables, but they seem to be more sophisticated than those produced by the blacksmith shop in Oak Village.
The only thing that stood out was probably the various wine bottles scattered on the floor, even if he didn't get too close, Levi could smell the smell of wine escaping, and Ironwood Hammer was right, it was indeed much better than the inferior wine in the Oak Village Tavern!
But soon Levi didn't have the heart to think about it anymore, because following the dwarf's footsteps, he had come to a bed made of two short beds, and a young man with a pale face was closing his eyes, and his body was covered with red blood, and blood was constantly flowing from his mouth, and his breathing seemed to be very weak.
A dwarf next to him was wiping his mouth with a rag, but the blood was gushing like a spring, and it seemed that if there was no way to get blood, this guy would not be far from death.
Seeing Ironwood Brute Hammer and Levi arriving together, the dwarf who wiped the blood was sweating and shouted: "Captain Ironwood, this guy is dying, he is constantly vomiting blood!" ”
Ironwood Brute Hammer glanced at the lying young man, and turned his head directly to look at Levi, he had already seen the injury of the guy on the bed, so they were so anxious to send a messenger to Blackstone Fort for help, but it seemed that this guy would not be able to hold out for reinforcements.
"Levi?"
Levi nodded, took a step forward, and watched the other party's state up close, and then soon he couldn't help frowning, because in addition to the messy claw marks on his body, the other party's chest obviously collapsed, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the blood that continued to spill from his mouth verified Levi's conjecture, this guy was definitely seriously injured in his internal organs, which is a rather serious negative state!
But no matter what, he just said that there was a way, and it was not good to give up without trying anything, Levi still used the spell he had just learned, a trophy obtained from the elite tomb demons, although it was not useful in normal times, but it could play a little value here.
Demon's Touch, by touching the target, you can drain the target's health, dealing 10 damage and restoring 5 health to yourself, or dealing 10 damage to yourself and restoring 5 health to the target.
When Levi's hand lit up and pressed it three times in a row on the unconscious man, everyone present heard a moan, and then the pale guy slowly opened his eyes and met Levi's directly.
The guy was stunned for a moment, not knowing who the stranger in front of him was, after all, before he fell unconscious, he remembered that he had come to a dwarven outpost, but soon he forcibly turned his head and looked around.
He was slightly relieved when he saw the familiar dwarves again, especially the one with the double axe, but soon he struggled to sit up again: "Son of the mountains, please send troops to rescue Miss immediately, and pass on this message to Nunn, the Drakken family will definitely repay Blackstone Castle!" ”
