Chapter 405: The war is over for a while
In the next few days, Levi was busy leading his younger brothers to clear out the remnants of the dark elves and Tzeentch demons in Blood Raven City, and at the same time he was busy communicating with the messengers of other large and small forces.
Many forces don't know what happened in Blood Raven City that day, and they don't know that those Tzeentch demons were summoned by the dark elves, but Blood Raven City is now in burning ruins, and they definitely know this, so a large part of the people believe that Levi and the Warden Guild led the incident and burned the entire Blood Raven City, because it is obvious that they are the final beneficiaries of the matter.
This made them feel shocked and even frightened by Levi's power, after all, the Blood Raven City was once the most powerful force in the Gray Mountain Underground World, and it was because of offending Levi and them that Blood Raven City began to gradually decline, and finally fell to the current point.
Even Blood Raven City couldn't stop them, so who would dare to stand up and fight against them if there were other weaker forces?
So in the end, the more the story spread, the more exaggerated it became, and some people said that Levi had the power to summon dragons, and that Blood Raven City was destroyed by those fire-breathing dragons, which obviously didn't know how to put the Black Lady's mount on their heads.
Even Tahamat's Jingo Society couldn't help but quietly send someone over in the end, while vaguely asking for information about the dragon, and at the same time very actively wanting to form a close ally with Levi, not only to form an alliance with their Jingo Society, but also to represent the meaning of the Tahamat Dark Elf natives.
Sha'tar, another surviving dark elf force, also sent his own emissary, saying that he would establish a peace treaty with the watchers.
Even the most powerful dark elves in the underground world took the initiative to bow their heads, and the envoys of other large and small forces were endless, and no one wanted to become the next Blood Raven City.
After a series of negotiations and a considerable amount of benefits, Levi also picked out some forces that were neutral, or like the gray dwarves, which were evil but at least kept their promises, and chose to agree to the other party's request, because the purpose of his coming to the underworld was never to kill all the creatures here, he was just to complete the recruitment task.
As for those undead and nezumi or something, they were all directly rejected by him, because there is no possibility of peace between them at all, the undead and nezumi are notoriously cunning, and if they promise peace today, they may attack you tomorrow, compared to the dark elves are good.
And the greenskin or something is thinking about fighting all day long, and has not communicated with them at all, and it seems that he is determined to fight.
Levi was also happy to do so, after all, he still had to leave some of his younger brothers in the underground world, and the watchers and their allies also needed certain enemies, didn't they?
On the other hand, the Assassin Alliance, which had suffered heavy losses, also took the initiative to offer an olive branch, and after several negotiations, the Assassin League eventually became a half-allied and half-vassal guild of the Wardens, and Levi helped them capture a small troglodyte village not far from Hemlock Castle, and then settled the Assassin League and the dark elf family they supported there.
After the Assassin Alliance made a series of promises such as intelligence sharing and mutual help, they also gave a part of the resources produced by the village to the watchmen, and at the same time, they also handed over a part of the trained dark elf priests to the watchmen's guild every week as a reward.
In this way, the Assassin Alliance, the Hunter Wind Tribe, and the Hemlock Castle can barely form a small offensive and defensive alliance, if you add Tahamat and Jingo. It can be said that nearly half of the underground world is controlled by them, and many of the remaining evil races, including the undead, greenskins, goblins, and nezumen, etc., cannot compete with this offensive and defensive alliance at all.
After successfully establishing this offensive and defensive alliance and setting a lot of rules, two days later, Levi actually received a reminder that the mission was successful, saying that the first stage of the legendary mission of Bellega's Ambition had been successful, and the second phase of the mission would start in six months, because the various messengers in other aspects had not yet been completed, so Levi could only wait.
But now he can finally leave the underworld and go somewhere else, and he can go directly to Blackstone Fort to receive the mission reward.
Leviston was very surprised, because originally Blackstone Castle was facing two major threats, one was the many chaotic faction races in the underground world, and the other was that they were worried that there were still many undead in the lair of the dead Lich Master, but now that he has only solved the problem here, the mission has been directly successful?
Doesn't that mean that something unexpected has happened to the Lich Master's lair? It can't be that the undead themselves all committed suicide and followed the Lich Master, right?
But in any case, the hint of mission success can't be faked, so Levi returns to Blackstone Fort after arranging things.
He first gave his younger brothers a vacation, and then followed the dwarven messenger from the Anglond tribe alone to receive the task reward.
Levi originally thought that the other party would lead him to a secret base or something, but he didn't expect that in the end, the other party led him directly to half of his acquaintance, that is, the king of Blackstone Castle.
After meeting Levi, the expression of the King of Blackstone Fort was not as happy as Levi imagined, but seemed to be a little aggrieved and uncomfortable, and he wanted to stop talking, but he finally handed over the task reward to Levi.
Levi was a little confused at first, but it dawned on Levi when the quartermaster of Blackstone Castle pulled out the mission rewards, some dwarven helicopters and dwarven cannons, and some dwarven rune equipment from their own armory.
The Bronze Mountain Fort of the Anglond tribe is hundreds of miles away, and they definitely won't deposit the mission rewards here in Blackstone Fort beforehand, and according to what Levi knew before, they may not have the ability to take out these things.
In other words, these mission rewards are most likely paid for by Blackstone Castle out of its own pocket!
Not only that, after Levi dealt with the aliens in the underworld, Blackstone Fort had to fulfill its original promise and bring its own dry food to help the Anglond tribe on the expedition.
Not to mention how many soldiers will be lost in the course of the expedition, whether they will succeed in the end, and even if they succeed, what will they get in exchange? It's better to keep your nest!
The king of Blackstone Castle must have had similar thoughts, but because of the dwarf's good-faced personality, he couldn't say it, and he couldn't play tricks, so he showed such an unwilling expression.
Levi can also understand the other party, after all, he has heard that the last expedition of the Anglond tribe was killed by those green-skinned goblins or something, and there are not many people who survived, and if he has such a pit ally, he will definitely not be able to laugh.
However, he only sympathized with it and finished it, anyway, the other party completed the task of recruiting troops, and it was a matter of course to receive his reward.
The King of Blackstone Castle probably thought the same thing, so when Levi commanded his troops to receive his mission rewards and prepare to transport them back to his station, he still frowned, but he still stopped Levi.
"Levi, the effect you have accomplished this time is beyond my imagination, in order to reward your efforts, I can open an additional permission for you, the matter of griffins you mentioned last time, I agreed, you can use my warrant to recruit a team of griffins."
Livingston was overjoyed, and after thanking him, he didn't be polite, and directly received a recruitment token from the other party.
When he reached the cult stage of Blackstone Castle's prestige, he knew that only at this stage would the real goodies of Blackstone Castle be open to him, including the Griffin, a special class that can be used as both a flying mount and a beast in the air.
It's just that the griffons not only have very strict recruitment conditions, but the requirements for riding them are also not low, requiring at least level 10 hero units, plus advanced riding skills.
Levi didn't meet this condition originally, and he could only recruit one, so he didn't care about it for the time being, but he didn't expect that the king of Blackstone Fort would be so generous this time, and he would directly have the recruitment authority of a squad!
Levi thanked the other party again, and at the same time he remembered another question, so he hurriedly asked the other party.
"You mean what happened to the Lich Master's lair?" The King of Blackstone Castle frowned, seemingly reluctant, but finally answered Levi's question, "Well, according to our intelligence, those pointy-eared people in the Great Forest of Athel Loren carried out a raid there yesterday, and now the Lich Master's lair is completely in ruins, so it is not a threat to us. ”
"Athel Loren's pointed ears? Did the Wood Elves do it? Hearing this unexpected news, Levi was also stunned, haven't those guys been fighting with the beastmen? Why did you suddenly free up your hands and snatch away your own tasks?
Although this saved himself a lot of effort, Tanatoko still kept thinking about going there again, killing more undead creatures, and avenging his dead colleagues, and now that the Wood Elves have directly demolished the lair of the Lich Master, then they are still going to fart?
"Yes, right in those pointy ears." Seeing Levi seem a little unhappy, although he didn't know why, the king of Blackstone Castle still felt a little happy, but he could be sure that he was definitely not gloating.
He quickly coughed dryly, hiding his true feelings, "Levi, I know you're wondering something, but it's true, because the battle between those pointy-eared people and the beastmen has ended for the time being. They didn't want to admit it, but they had won once again, and were now hunting down the fleeing beastmen. ”
As we all know, the dwarves and elves once had a war that brought heavy damage to each other, which also led to the rapid decline of the two races, you must know that when they were at their strongest, the whole old world was their territory, and the dwarves were not only nesting in the mountains and mining at that time, they also lived in the plains, and the other races, whether they were humans, greenskins, or beastmen, under their great power, could only hide in the corners and shiver.
So even after thousands of years, they still remember their previous hatred, although now because they each have new enemies, and they also have common enemies such as Chaos Demons, so they have temporarily let go of their hatred for each other, but this does not mean that they have really forgotten.
Levi couldn't help frowning more and more, the war between the wood elves and the beastmen lasted so long, even earlier than the war between the Knight Kingdom and the Red Duke, it had always been evenly matched, why did it suddenly turn over?
"I heard that it was their king of the forest who somehow suddenly came back to life, and brought a horde of treants into battle, and there was also a legendary treantman, Oak Heart Dursu, who appeared on the battlefield. You know, Levi, those pointed ears didn't resist beating at all, they only knew how to put cold arrows, but with the Treant in front, they could fight back, and they were as cunning as ever. ”
While explaining, the king of Blackstone Castle did not forget to say two sentences to the other party, it should be said that it is worthy of being a race with a book of hatred, and it is indeed very grudgeful.
However, this solved part of Levi's doubts, Levi originally knew that the king of the forest of the wood elves hung up, but their queen seemed to have fallen into evil and did not let the king of the forest be resurrected, which caused the strength of the entire wood elf clan to be affected by this, and now the king of the forest is not only suddenly resurrected, but also brought a large number of reinforcements to participate in the battle, and the wood elves may indeed win because of this.
It's just that I don't know if the resurrection of the king of the forest was due to the efforts of the aborigines themselves, or if there were other chosen heroes involved?
But no matter what, those things don't have much to do with Levi's, his main force at this stage is either cavalry or war machinery, even if someone tells him that there is a hidden mission in that forest, he can only watch, after all, cavalry can't charge in the forest!
After bidding farewell to the king of Blackstone Castle, Levi went to recruit all the griffons as soon as possible, although it cost a lot of money, and the maintenance cost was quite high, but after seeing the other party's attributes, he felt that it was all worth it.
The griffin is an eagle in the front half, a lion in the back half, and a pair of winged creatures on its back, and the manticore is a 5th-order flying monster unit, with quite extraordinary attributes such as attack and defense, and it also has a series of combat skills, such as claw strikes, pounces, dives, screams, etc.
And what Levi values most is their protector skills, that is, they can temporarily attach 20% of their own health to the master on their back, which is powerful, and it is enough to save lives at critical moments.
Levi decided to stay at Blackstone Fort for a few days, and be sure to customize the top-of-the-line supporting facilities for these griffins from the dwarven craftsmen before moving on to the next step!
