Chapter 387: A New War Machine
In the following days, Levi and the others did not carry out a particularly large operation against Blood Raven City, but while accumulating strength, they dispersed into several detachments, with newly made war machines, swept the villages and towns of the surrounding chaotic camp, and used them as training troops.
After continuous training, the watchers are now proficient in small siege warfare, but the small forces of the chaotic camp have suffered a lot, either directly destroyed, or looted after breaking through the villages and towns, and for a while the watchers and the participating hemlock forts, as well as the hunting wind tribe, all benefited a lot.
And those surviving forces are not so safe, either they are lined up in Levi's little black book, or Levi is ready to fatten up and then kill, and there are many other Chosen Heroes who fish in troubled waters, and every day villages and towns are destroyed and looted, in short, everyone in the underground world is in danger for a while.
Although Levi's purpose was to deal with the chaos in the underworld, after he came, it was even more chaotic now than before.
The only thing that didn't make much movement was probably the forces of the three dark elves, Shatar and Blood Raven City were licking their wounds because of heavy losses one after another, while Tahamat was eyeing Blood Raven City and was ready to unite with Levi and them to stab it in the back.
But everyone knows that behind this turmoil, a bigger battle is brewing, and maybe when the time comes, they can decide who is the real overlord in the underground world of Blackstone Castle.
After successfully destroying another undead lair, Levi looked at the cannon carried on the steel chariot in front of him with great satisfaction.
It is worthy of the war machinery carefully made by the gray dwarf blacksmiths, not only the attack power is stronger than the mortar cannon, but also the range and hit rate are more excellent, just because of the attack of this giant cannon, it can break through the city gate so quickly, otherwise with the undead wizards in the village who can continue to summon and revive the undead, this battle may have to last for a long time before it can end.

(This is a copy of the human war machine of the Hemlock Castle's Grey Dwarf, but it is more powerful than the original, and due to the cannon on the vehicle, it is a very powerful threat to large monsters.)
That's right, this is a war machine that Fort Hemlock has built at Levi's behest, and it's one of the best.
Originally, the Grey Dwarves used cannons to defend the city, for example, against the previous Blood Raven City. Even in the field, they would at most pull a few guns and bombard them at a fixed point, and they never seemed to think of mounting cannons on their vehicles and then using them to attack the enemy.
The war ramparts brought by Levi gave them a new idea, so they quickly got to work, and with the help of the Grey Dwarves' superior forging skills than humans, they created an enhanced version of the war ramparts, and divided them into two models, a mortar and a cannon, the former emphasizing area-of-range bombardment and the latter emphasizing targeted sniping.
The former was owned by Levi before, and they directly copied it, while the latter was made by the gray dwarves themselves on a whim, in their words, they are all magnifying cannons anyway, and aren't all kinds of cannons the same?
Moreover, the gray dwarves are still researching more types of war fortresses, and they don't only have two kinds of cannons in Hemlock Castle, but the other cannons are larger and more bulky, and the carriages can't be transported, so they haven't made much progress for a while.
Among the war machines that have been completed, the one in front of Levi is the best among them, although the attack speed is extremely slow, and it is not very good at dealing with enemies who move faster, and it has one less bombardment skill than the mortar cannon, so it cannot pose a threat to a wide range of enemy troops, but so far, any enemy hit by it head-on has never been able to survive, even if the enemy's thick and strong city walls and gates, it can't carry a few cannons at all.
It's a pity that only one war fortress of this quality has been made so far, and other ordinary war fortresses are still a little weaker in terms of power, but Levi also knows that this is his own greed, and in the same quantity, their power is definitely enough to suppress the Reaper ballista in Blood Raven City.
At this time, the military advisor ran over to report to Levi about the harvest of this battle, and as soon as he looked at his smiling face, Levi knew that he had also gained well in this battle, as the only undead in the guild at present, if there are any good things of the undead, they will definitely gather to him in the end, and this is an undead village after all, he can also take the opportunity to find out if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, so as to accept him as his little brother.
After listening to the other party's report, Levi knew that this was another small harvest, but he had experienced similar things more than a dozen times recently, and he was a little numb.
"Hey, Strategist, Evergreen Sword and Weak Water Three Thousand, as well as the Assassin Alliance, is there any new information coming from them?"
The military advisor shook his head hurriedly when he heard this, of course he knew why the boss sighed, but the other party just didn't take the bait, no one could do anything, "Boss, not yet, even if we deliberately divided into three troops, the Blood Raven City side still didn't move, and didn't plan to attack us at all, it seems that they plan to slowly recover their strength there, and then wait for us to attack the city." ”
"Really, should I say that the Agatha mistress was cautious, or cowardly?"
In the face of such an enemy who nests in his hometown all day long, Levi also has a little headache, he has thoroughly confirmed the reliability of the Assassin Alliance through the Women's Federation, so if the army of Blood Raven City dares to go out of the city, ambush a wave by himself, the Assassin Alliance backstabs a wave, and then pull up the Hemlock Castle, the Wind Hunting Tribe, and the Jingo Society, which is very eager to cooperate with him on behalf of Tahamat recently, will definitely be able to kill the army of Agatha's mother, but now the other party has been nesting there without moving, and everyone can't do anything about her.
Although the dark elves, like the wood elves, have their own feelings, so they do not use any gunpowder weapons such as guns and cannons, not like the lords of Bretonnia are too poor to afford, so there are no cannons on the walls of Blood Raven City, but their various enchanted war machines are no less powerful than cannons.
If Levi were to storm it, he and Fort Hemlock alone would never be enough.
Now that Blood Raven City is not taking the bait, Levi really has no choice, is it possible to drag it down so hard until they create enough war machines that can capture Blood Raven City? But how long do you have to wait, materials, time, and blacksmiths are indispensable, on the contrary, in the end, money is a small matter...
"It would be of great help to let the vegetable family continue to work hard to increase their reputation in Blackstone Fort, if they can also buy more mortars, or customize this kind of war fortress."
Similar to Hemlock Castle, Blackstone Castle never thought of attaching cannons to chariots, but this was also related to their geographical location and racial disadvantage, as their natural short legs made them unsuitable for fighting enemies in the field, and it was not uncommon for them to be able to fight but not be able to catch up.
In addition, the mountain roads that are far more rugged than the underground world are really not suitable for this kind of war machine, which is probably why the empire has steam tanks, and the dwarves, who are more skilled in both forging and mining, do not have any tanks at all.
The military advisor nodded hurriedly, saying that he would immediately send someone to inform the vegetable family, he knew that the vegetable family was the first to follow Levi, and had always been responsible for guarding the watch village, and they were a group of dwarves, so it was the most suitable to prompt the prestige in the Black Stone Castle.
Suddenly, with the sound of rapid footsteps, a little brother ran over with excitement on his face, Levi knew that the other party belonged to the scout force, and looking at the other party's expression now, he knew that something good must have happened.
Sure enough, before he could get ahead, the other party had already taken the lead in shouting, "Boss, we have detected a new situation, a group of natives from the empire are being besieged by the greenskins and goblins!" ”
For the Aborigines, being besieged is dangerous and unfortunate, but for Levi's, it is likely to be a rewarding task!
"Send the order, speed up, let's go and call for their help!"
