Chapter 252: The Wind Rises
Levi thought so, and he did the same, and for a period of time, he continued to lead his troops to attack the Skaven in the Gray Mountains, near the underground world of Nunn, which greatly increased Nunn's reputation and obtained a large number of dimensional stone fragments.
Then he finally succeeded in mastering the ability to mass-produce the Great Swordsman with 4th-order strength through the transaction with Mage Ofini and his own consumption of a lot of materials to create the Soul Shame, and also learned the opponent's Soul Shame Repair Technique, now these expensive Soul Shame are no longer just consumables, he can repair them himself, and then recycle them repeatedly.
So in the future, even though Levi's troops were often lost, he basically never went to Nunn's barracks or tavern to recruit ordinary cannon fodder troops, because his soul was enough to do most of the tasks, and they were in some ways better than the real soldiers.
At the very least, there is no need for maintenance fees for Soul Shame, which greatly saves Levi's expenses, allowing him to use more resources to improve the Soul Shame Carving Technique, and gradually forms a virtuous circle, and the overall strength has developed at a high speed.
At the same time, the various forces throughout the game are also surging.
Just like the beastmen in the previous expansion, the current protagonists, those Norscar pirates who had divine help for a while, have now invaded all the coastal areas of the entire Old World like locusts, and the Kingdom of Kislev, the first country of ice and snow, has suffered even more, thanks to a large number of Chosen Heroes to support them, relieving a large part of the pressure on the natives, so that their losses are not as great as imagined.
Levi's first knightly kingdom was also invaded by Norscan pirates, and a major event occurred during this time.
That is, the Duke of Musilon in the Knight Kingdom, which had been abandoned for a long time, was now occupied by a powerful vampire called the Red Duke, and his strength was also very strong, and he easily repelled the Holy Grail Knight of the Duke of Langis, who was the first to attack him in the past, and transformed it into a vampire on the spot, which made the entire Knight Kingdom have an earthquake, because the Holy Grail Knight almost represents the strongest combat power of the Knight Kingdom, and it also represents the glory of the goddess!
So almost all dukedoms have issued a wanted warrant for the vampire the Red Duke.
It's just that because of the ravages of the Norscan pirates, the Knight Kingdom is now unable to organize a large army to fight against it, because the coastline of the Knight Kingdom is too long, and they must concentrate on defending against the Gnoscan Pirates, otherwise they will break through the coastline, which will be a disaster for the Knight Kingdom.
Therefore, the king of the Knight Kingdom, King Lawne the Lionheart, issued three orders in a row, namely the Forest Protection Order for the Beastmen, the Death Grip Order for the Undead, and the Winter Mourning Order for the Norscan Pirates.
The rewards can be very generous, in addition to the regular recruitment rights of various classes, there are also a variety of excellent mounts from Bretonnia, including Pegasus, Griffons and even Hippogriffs!
Although they are both flying mounts, the preciousness of Pegasus and the like is obviously higher than the Arabi Magic Flying Carpet that Levi has, because the flying carpet does not have any attack ability, and even Pegasus can easily kick Greenskin's head with his iron hooves!
And this is only part of it, the state religion of the knight kingdom, the sect of the goddess in the lake also issued a similar order, not to mention the skills of the troops, the major forces have similar ones, but one thing is different, that is, the hero order included in their rewards, which can make ordinary troops grow directly into heroes, and the requirements for use are only 4th order elite units!
This is more popular with players than the Hero Orders offered by other forces, which require at least Tier 5 elite units to be able to use!
So up to now, at least more than one-third of the Chosen Heroes in the entire Knight Kingdom have gathered around Musilon, and this number is still expanding, and even the Empire, the Wood Elves, and the distant southern kingdoms have players going there, constantly fighting with a large number of undead all day long, for that heroic order.
However, Mu Xilon's interior seems to have countless refresh points, and the army of the undead can't kill them all, I really don't know where the Red Duke and a vampire got so many troops, and he is not a necromancer who is good at summoning zombies and skeletons.
And the wood elves next to the knight kingdom are not having a good time, because their hometown, the magical Athel Loren Great Forest is under siege by the beastmen, among which the number of the beastmaster and the screaming shaman has broken through double digits, this number is not a small number even for the entire race of wood elves, they are all survivors in the previous expansion, and now they have joined forces to find trouble with their feud.
And at the top of the list are several legendary Beastmen heroes: One-Eyed Kazak, Dark Prophet Malago, Shadow Moguel, Taunos Bronze Bull, Gros Warhoof...
These guys, who were not small even if they appeared alone, now formed a group and formed a loose alliance to attack the Wood Elves together.
At first, the players on the forum felt very incredible, because the beastmen really didn't have much intelligence and emotion to speak of, cooperation was almost impossible for them, and their main passion was killing.
In the end, some Beastmen players couldn't help but reveal on the forums that if the Beastmen can successfully occupy the Great Forest of Athel Loren, then gather their screaming shamans, and they can use the magic in the forest to create ten thousand magic rocks on their own!
At that point, it's not impossible to recreate the majesty of the Beastmen from the first expansion, or even go further!
And that's just part of it, in the kingdom of the mountains, the dwarves are fighting with the greenskins and goblins;
In the Southern Realms, mysterious armies of the undead have appeared out of thin air, and their skeletons are far more powerful than those summoned by ordinary necromancers;
In the Empire, there are all kinds of evil sects constantly fighting against each other, and on the outside, there are a large number of greenskins, beastmen and undead people are wreaking havoc;
Even in the underworld, evil races such as the Skaven, the Dark Elves, the Grey Dwarves, and the Cavemen are constantly fighting each other.
It seems that there is an invisible big hand, disturbing the strings of fate, and for a time almost all races are like ignited powder kegs, and they begin to fall into large-scale battles, and even the halflings who have been holding the thighs of the empire have to organize large-scale armies to protect their cities.
Levi was also puzzled at first, but after many contacts with Master Ophini, he finally understood that there was a high probability that this was the hand of the four gods of chaos, and the tide of chaos was really coming!
But on the other hand, frequent and continuous large-scale battles have also accelerated the improvement of players' strength, and various forces have gradually opened up the recruitment authority of higher-level troops, and even the leaders of major guilds, those top players with the most resources, have begun to have hero units under their commands.
Although it was the Knight Kingdom that took the lead at the beginning, other major camps also opened rewards such as hero orders one after another, and the Chosen Heroes who grew up rapidly, even powerful aborigines like them could not be taken lightly.
Although many players are miserable because of the rapidly becoming stronger enemies, and every day there are players who have to start over because their troops are killed, or simply give up the game, but with the risk is also the opportunity, if there is a particularly lucky player, it is not impossible to pick up a hostile remnant boss on the battlefield, and the strength will soar.
And now Levi is on his way to defeat the Greenskins of the Bloodclaw Tribe.
He has been staring at this green-skinned tribe for a long time, but the strength of the other party is also very strong, Levi has even found several squads of ogres in the greenskinned army, and the leading green-skinned leader is even more unknown, and it also has a team of black-skinned, well-equipped black orcs as a personal guard, so Levi was not sure for a while, and he had not taken action before.
Yesterday, however, he had received the latest news that the Greenskins had fought with another group of Skaven Rats, and had succeeded in destroying them, and after plundering almost all of the loot, they had burned down the gloomy and hidden rat holes, leaving behind the idols they had built out of their own.
However, the strength of the Bloodclaw Greenskins has also been greatly damaged because of this, and it is the best time to attack them.
The troops soon approached the Bloodclaw Tribe's lair, and Levi ordered the troops to take a break and prepare for the upcoming battle.
Soon, the Dwarven Beast Trainer reported that his Thunderhawk had spotted that the Greenskins seemed to be partying for their previous victory, and that there did not seem to be any sentinels on the outskirts of the Greenskins' lair, and Levi immediately knew that the time had come, and he immediately gave the order: "Huames, Tanato, each of you will lead the cavalry to attack first, bring as much confusion to the enemy as possible, and if you encounter a hard idea, withdraw first!" ”
"Flame Blade, Davey, you two are following behind Bloomus."
After this period of fighting, the strength of all Levi's subordinates has improved to varying degrees, for example, the original great swordsman Dawei has now successfully transformed into an elite imperial knight, and was awarded a mechanical war horse by Levi that is stronger than ordinary war horses, which is the task item given to him by the Evergreen Sword before, although Dawei's strength is not as strong as the flame blade for the time being, but it is much stronger than ordinary imperial knights.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
"Yes, sir!"
With a few echoes, Wallace and Tanato each led the charge with several squads of cavalry troops, all of whom were human knights in iron armor, armed with spears and shields, and even their horses covered with heavy armor, they were the 4th rank of troops recruited by Levi in the Nunn camp - Imperial Knights!
Name: Imperial Knight
Gender: Male
Faction: Order - Kingship - Empire
Race: Human
Tier: Tier 4
Attack 20, Defense 6, Health 85
Skill 1, intermediate marksmanship specialization;
Skill 2, Intermediate Riding Mastery;
Skill 3, holding a shield;
Skill 4, Anti-Infantry, when fighting against infantry units, increases attack damage by an additional 20%;
Skill 5, Charge, after a short charge, launches a charge attack on the enemy, and gains an attack power bonus of 1-7 points according to the distance and speed of the charge, and the attack bonus will be rapidly decayed within 5 seconds after stopping the charge.
(Imperial Knights are either noble-born or promoted from battle-hardened civilian soldiers, but when they charge, they will inflict the same ferocity on their enemies.)
Compared to the Great Swordsman, who is also a Tier 4 unit of the Empire, the Imperial Knights do not have the upper hand in terms of pure attributes, but when combined with skills, they are more lethal to the infantry, and they also seem to have a hidden skill, that is, the first attack after the charge, the critical strike rate is obviously extraordinary, according to Levi's recent calculations, it has increased by at least 20%!
Levi has seen it more than once, and the knight who charges up kills a second-order class with one shot, and even a third-order class is seriously injured!
And now this situation is repeating itself in front of Levi's again.
When Hua Meisi and the others roared and rushed into the Bloodclaw Greenskin Tribe, those Greenskins who were eating barbecue in groups didn't know what was going on for a while, but soon the screams of the Greenskins who were being knocked out by the high-speed charging Imperial knights, or pierced their chests, or simply shot them away, made them immediately realize that they were being attacked!
Before they had time to launch a counterattack, countless arrows and bullets had fallen from the sky, and then more humans joined the battlefield with neat steps, quickly harvesting the lives of the greenskins, who stayed on the periphery, even if they ate meat, they could only eat the worst kind of greenskins, naturally they would not have much strength, so they almost failed to organize any resistance, and were quickly slaughtered by Levi's troops.
However, this situation did not last long, the more they moved inside, the stronger the strength of the greenskins, and when they heard the screams from the periphery, they also had enough time to react, so the resistance encountered by Huamesi and the others became stronger and stronger, although in the face of ordinary greenskins, she and Tanatoto were able to kill them in one hit, but the flame blade was a little worse, and those imperial knights behind could not do this.
However, Hua Meisi did not have any worries, but only excitement, she immediately raised the spear in her hand and shouted: "Bretonnia Riding Spear Formation!" ”
The white light was like water, shining out in an instant, and then quickly soaked into the bodies of everyone behind her, even the heroic Tanato, and then the speed of all of them charged sharply, and the attack power was also slightly improved, which was the battle skill that Huames had recently comprehended!
The cavalry charged more powerfully, and soon messed up the entire greenskin camp, but the greenskins, who were born to fight, were not afraid, and the further they went, the stronger they became, and their morale was stronger, and they roared, grabbed everything around them that could be used as weapons and rushed forward, even if it cost them their lives.
But they had no command at all, and they didn't have any formation to speak of, and in the face of the regular army commanded by Levi, they could only be slaughtered in large numbers, until a green skin with a height of more than three meters, almost the same size as Levi's ogre, Chubby, came out of a tent, and these green skins had a little bit of organization.
The tall green-skinned roared, and chopped to death a scurrying green-skinned boy with a machete: "Damn human, you dare to sneak attack while we are eating, you dare to offend my bloody claws, watch me hack you to death in a while!" ”
