Chapter 439: Marching to Talabek

After a short break, the Empire's armies began to march again, and although their numbers were much smaller than at the beginning, their morale did not weaken much, as the Emperor carried out a large-scale reward operation after the battle, and all the soldiers who participated in the battle were quite rich.

Taking Reinhardt as an example, in addition to obtaining a large number of meritorious services, she also obtained some troop recruitment privileges, some elite troops that are usually not open to the public, three teams of Rick Royal Guards and three teams of Honorary Swordsmen of Fort Karon, and they are all 5th order elite troops, but she can only recruit them in Rick Leader and Aldolph Imperial City, and she will not be able to use them in the next battle for the time being, because it is impossible for the troops to turn back now.

As for the recruitment orders belonging to the different knights, there were hundreds of them, and since most of the knights had bases in various provinces, Reinhardt could replenish her forces at any time if she could find them.

Although the other Imperial soldiers and Chosen Heroes do not have as many feats as Reinhardt, they also have a variety of rewards, after all, it is the Emperor of the Empire who is rewarded for this mission, and he is definitely one of the richest handfuls in the entire old world, so there is everything from equipment, skills, troops, to various official positions, titles and even territories.

The army had basically never encountered any enemies of any size along the way, whether it was the most common beastmen or the greenskins, all of whom had disappeared now, and Levi estimated that after this battle, if nothing unexpected happened, this safe environment should be able to maintain for several years.

After all, the beastmen who are better at screaming shamans and beastmasters or something, have basically been killed, and the remaining beastmen, even if they have some brute strength, will definitely not be the opponent of the garrison armies in various towns and cities of the empire, if they dare to take the initiative to attack, they will definitely be easily killed, although there are no particularly powerful infantry, but the empire is most famous for their various war machines.

But when it comes to completely cleaning up these beastmen, Levi feels that it is still a basically impossible task, because there are too many forests suitable for the beastmen to live in the territory of the empire, and the territory that humans can actually cover is actually only a small part, because their number is too small, and basically no one dares to take the initiative to open up the wilderness, because once they are far from the important towns, they will be attacked by all kinds of powerful alien races, which is all the bloody lessons of the past thousands of years.

So after a few years, when the brainy boss-level units reappear among the beastmen, they will definitely rise again, but that is not something that Levi should be concerned about.

At this moment, under the guidance of the Heavenly Lone Star, a few more Chosen Heroes came to visit Levi with dozens of personal guards, saying that they were the top leaders of such and such a guild, and Levi cheered up and greeted the other party for a while, and then let them go.

In fact, this is not the first time Levi has received this kind of person, since the end of the war with the beastmen, he has successively received dozens of waves of messengers from different guilds, all of whom said that they wanted to come to meet him, to do an information exchange between guilds or something.

The performance of the troops led by Levi in the previous battles has long been obvious to all, and they all want to hug their thighs. Although Levi was already a little annoyed, he didn't refuse the other party rudely, because he really needed more information, and it was good to have a relationship with these guilds, and it was always a good thing to have more friends.

After sending off the group again, Levi saw a dozen griffin knights fly overhead, landing on Emperor Karl's flagship, and not long after, several dwarven helicopters that existed as scouts also rushed back, reporting to Levi about the urgent military situation.

"My lord, I found a fighting army in front of me, one side is human, look at the banner is the Talabek leader, they are in a rout, the number cannot be counted for the time being, and on the other hand, there is a green-skinned army all over the mountains, I am afraid that the number is nearly 100,000!"

Levi, Reinhardt, Orfini and the others glanced at each other, and immediately knew that this must be one of the reinforcements arranged by the emperor in advance, but they didn't expect that they also fell into the trap of the green skin, so they fell into the current situation.

But the army led by Talabek is really tenacious, it has been more than half a day since they encountered the ambush, and they have only just begun to rout, either they have brought a lot of troops, or they are extremely powerful leaders in their troops!

However, the emperor must have received the same report, he will definitely not sit idly by, thinking of this, Levi immediately began to quickly deploy his troops, he pulled out all the cavalry troops, and with the rest of Reinhardt's cavalry began to move towards the front line, he wanted to seize the opportunity in the next operation!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Levi to receive a new system prompt, and Emperor Karl had once again issued a mission: to rescue the Imperial army coming from the direction of the Talabek Lord, ensure the life of the Lord of Talabek, Helmut Feuerbach, and the Pope of the Sigmar Sect, Volkma the Heartless, and defeat the Greenskinned army!

Only then did Levi know that Emperor Karl had even sent all the bosses of the Sigma Sect to pull reinforcements, but this Pope was also quite unlucky, and he was ambushed by the Greenskin army before he went far.

And Levi was also a little surprised to find that there were some extra tasks on his system panel, from requiring him to kill a certain number of green-skinned big guys, green-skinned boar cavalry, black orcs, to killing berserk trolls, enslaved brute giants, and even Araknari giant spiders and greenskin bosses, etc.

Although the rewards of the missions are not particularly rich, but the number of victories is enough, which can be considered quite a good reward, Levi soon knew that this was due to the additional gain brought by his new official position - Imperial Centurion, and he opened the military mission unique to the Imperial Army system, which can be shared with other Chosen Heroes with similar official positions, based on his current position as a Centurion, he can take up to 10 missions at the same time.

However, these tasks are not given in vain, after carefully reviewing the corresponding information and rules, Levi found that while enjoying the task rewards, he also has to bear a certain responsibility, if he takes the task but fails to complete it, not only will there be no rewards, but there will be a large number of meritorious punishments, if the remaining merits are not enough to deduct, and may even be demoted.

But for the current Levi, this is not too much of a problem, because he just observed, there are probably less than 200 tasks in this task pool, but so far, except for 10 tasks he has taken on himself, he has basically not moved, in other words, it is likely that among the other chosen heroes who participated in this battle, there is no centurion-level existence at all, and this task pool is now directly monopolized by him...

Soon bands of cavalry were diverted from the Empire's army and began to attack behind the Greenskins, and even the Generalissimo himself disembarked from the Emperor's flagship and personally led a number of half-griffin cavalry and other miscellaneous knights to charge.

Levi and Reinhardt chose another direction together, because if they followed the generalissimo, they probably wouldn't be able to make any decent oil and water.

Before leaving, in addition to the regular support magic, Levi also asked several of his subordinates who had newly turned into metal mages to cast a spell, and then Levi found that they were all very serious offensive mages.

In addition to the metal armor skill that can be applied to the cavalry unit to enhance defense, the other metal skills are basically all weakening enemy attacks or armor, as well as a wide range of offensive magic, Levi had to give up his plan to take them, after all, mobile spell casting and mounted spell casting are very advanced skills, these newly transferred magicians do not have this ability.

Although there were not too many cavalry units under the command of each Chosen Hero, after gathering all the cavalry of the allied forces of the entire empire, they still gathered tens of thousands of troops in an instant, and launched a fierce charge from the rear of the green-skinned army.

Often with a wave of his long sword, a brilliant sword qi more than ten meters long has already roared out, directly cutting off dozens of green-skinned bodies, and large and small breakthroughs suddenly appeared. Although he is a warrior, his strength has reached his point, and his simple killing speed is no worse than that of ordinary middle and high-level magicians!

However, Levi and the others were not to be outdone, and then crashed into the greenskinned army.

Although the greenskins are warlike by nature, they basically don't arrange any scouts, so their charge is very smooth, and because there are dwarven helicopters in advance, and there are reconnaissance by the horned eagle knight Davey and others, Levi's choice of attack direction is also very good, not only there are a large number of relatively vulnerable long-range units, but also the direction of the greenskins' war machinery!

War machines tend to have very good stats in terms of defense and health, which makes them more resistant to beating, but the rewards for destroying them are also very good, and most importantly, they don't fight back against you like the living enemies, you just need to slash hard!

I don't know if it's because the greenskinned side is chasing after them, so their rudimentary siege crossbows and trebuchets don't have too many defensive troops, and they were easily killed by Levi and others, but their ammunition caused a little chaos to Levi and them, because the greenskins' ammunition are all live goblins, and some of them are goblins with various poisons on their bodies, and they actually use biochemical weapons!

It's just that the strength of these goblins is very low after all, and after the initial surprise, they were quickly killed, and then Levi and the others began to attack those war weapons wantonly.

Levi also ordered his men to save some strength and leave the final blow to Reinhardt's cavalry troops, so that she could gain more merits, after all, there were not many opportunities to obtain a large number of merits without any danger.

Dozens of rugged, typical greenskin-style trebuchets were soon completely destroyed, but by this time the greenskinned army had already begun to react, although the raid was very panicked, and the casualties were also very heavy, but the difference between the militant greenskins and the beastmen was reflected, and they still howled and launched a counterattack.

And Levi and they have also encountered some trouble, about two more than two teams are five or six meters tall, and the giant holding a giant wooden stick has taken the initiative to find them.

At first glance, they looked similar to the savage giants in the Beastmen camp, but Levi soon noticed that they were wrapped with a lot of rough chains, as well as patches of whipped marks, Levi's brain turned, and he knew that most of them were the enslaved barbarian giants that he had received in the previous mission, and it seemed that they were not having a good time in the greenskin camp...

However, as enemies of each other, Levi would not pity them at all, he just raised the demon halberd in his hand and directly gave the order to attack, with many hero-level subordinates by his side, how could he stop them from advancing with only two squads of the fifth-order troops?

It turns out that the reason why these wild giants will be enslaved is not without reason, compared to those relatives who don't know whether they are related by blood, their strength is much weaker, and even a pounce of the horned eagle beast can often bring them very much damage, so it didn't take too much time for Levi to lead the troops to exterminate them.

Even Levi himself killed two heads with his own hands, and after a series of bloody battles, he not only used his halberd skills to improve rapidly, but even when he had spare time, he could use his secondary weapon, a blue quality sword, to attack the enemy.

While practicing swordsmanship, he can also practice the skill of the Red Lotus Sword by the way, after all, this skill requires only the use of a long sword to be able to exert its full power, Levi feels that if he can master it perfectly as soon as possible, he will definitely be able to exert quite good combat effectiveness in future battles.

It seemed to sense the turmoil in the rear of the Greenskins' army, and the army led by Talabek, who had been fleeing in confusion, gradually stabilized their formation and began to try to flank the Greenskins with the Emperor's army, which made the Greenskins suddenly very uncomfortable, and they had to start fighting on two fronts, but they still couldn't recover the defeat.

Especially after the two legendary mages riding silver pegasus and flaming griffins flew over Levi's head, Levi thought even more, because so far, he had not found any particularly famous greenskin leader in the greenskin camp, and even though the dark green greenskin leader was surrounded by a circle of guards, but under the onslaught of the generalissimo, he was still defeated and retreated, and he would not live long when he saw it.

Suddenly, the long horn began to echo throughout the battlefield, Levi hurriedly turned his head, and then he was a little surprised to find that many warships that were originally floating on the Talabek River were all leaning towards the shore at this moment, and a large number of troops began to walk down from the ships one after another, and then lined up on the shore, and the most dazzling of them was the emperor who was holding a Sigma war hammer, it seemed that the emperor wanted to personally crusade against the greenskins, then there would be no suspense in this battle!
