Chapter 406: Marching into the Gray Mountains
After taking care of all the affairs in his hand, Levi finally set off again, but this time he didn't bring too many younger brothers, not only because as the territory occupied by the watchers continued to expand, more people were needed to defend in all aspects, but also because after Ophine's painstaking research for so long, her soul battle carving technique finally had a new breakthrough, and she alone was enough to summon a large army, and Levi no longer needed to carry too many younger brothers.
Of course, it is also necessary to bring a few, and he can't be asked to go out in person for any small thing, right?
This time their target is the Grey Mountains, and although the Lich Master's lair has been destroyed by the Wood Elves, Thanato's still wants to visit there, and Levi has another mission, which is to help Davey complete his job change mission and challenge and defeat a horned eagle!
These two tasks can be done together, as Hippogriffs also inhabit the Grey Mountains.
During Levi's temporary break, the game also underwent a major update, that is, in the Nehekhara region further south of the Southern Realm, a special race of the Tomb Kings was opened.
It turned out that Levi thought that there was not much difference between the Tomb King and the undead, at most the Tomb King had some skeleton archers and skeleton cavalry, but after digging deeper, he found that there was still a big difference between the two races.
Although most of the Tomb King classes are skeletons or zombies, they also have a lot of special non-living forms made of metal, bones, or simply dirt, such as the Tomb Scorpion made by Orfini, which is one of them, plus mummies, sphinxes, scarabs, etc., the Tomb Kings are actually more like a race based on the culture and mythology of the ancient Egyptian region.
And there is another thing that is surprising, that is, despite being skeletons, the mage units of the Tomb King can not only master the dark, death, sand, and their unique Nehekara magic, but they can also use light magic that has a great restraint on the undead and even on themselves!
This is something that the vampires and necromancers of the old world would never have dared to think of!
Because of this, at first, the players on the forum, especially the undead players, were almost about to quarrel, but soon the official gave a more detailed explanation, that is, because these Tomb Kings all believed in the gods of Nehekhara during their lifetimes, including gods such as the Sun God, and their gods have gradually awakened recently, it is precisely because of the blessings of these gods, plus the Tomb Kings are not enslaved undead creatures, but more like heroic spirits, Most of them have a living consciousness and belief in the gods, which is why they have the ability to use light magic.
But after all, they also belong to most of the undead, and the light magic also has a very strong restraint effect on them, and the burden of using this kind of magic is also very large, not only to consume mana, but also to consume their health, which can be regarded as a disguised increase in their casting costs, which can be regarded as a balance, and the undead players on the forum can be regarded as stopping.
Of course, it doesn't matter if they don't stop, many players have already discovered that the official of this game has always adhered to one idea: Hello dear players, I'm your father, I love to play, don't play roll!
And Levi is more concerned about the movements of the gods in the Nehekala region, he has personally contacted the Sphinx before, and the god seems to have just woken up, but within a few days, the gods of the Tomb King have all woken up, is there really such a coincidence?
But this is not their own business for the time being, after all, the Nehekala region is too far away from here, and he doesn't have time to travel there, anyway, Ophini has already told the relevant information to Ms. Hei, if the strong eldest sister goes there in person, what information will be brought back, it will definitely not hide from Ophini, then it means that she also knows.
It's just that I don't know who will be stronger at this stage, the famous cemetery rose, and the Sphinx who has just woken up?
At this moment, a rough and loud voice suddenly woke up Levi in his imagination: "Boss, I found a group of beastmen who were camping and resting in front of me, in addition to ordinary cannon fodder, as well as a small number of elites and some minotaurs, there is also a real big guy!" ”
Levi raised his eyes and looked over, but before he could see the other party's face clearly, his eyes were flashed by a bald head, and he couldn't help but quickly cover it with his hand, "Sky Lone Star, what kind of big guy?" ”
Tian Lone Star, who changed into a brand new rune armor, was very excited to carry a sledgehammer that was also engraved with runes and ran over, Levi had gained a lot in the underground world before, so his little brother also followed suit, not only gained a lot of wealth, but also his personal strength soared, "Boss, it is a monster more than ten meters high, and it is the 6th order of the beastman - the savage giant!" ”
"What?" Levi's immediately came to his senses, if you want to say this, I won't be sleepy, "Where?" How far is it going? ”
He didn't have any worries at all because of the opponent's 6th-order identity, although there are very few 6th-order troops that players have successfully challenged, but at least half of them are occupied by savage giants, and even now, the other party has almost become the weakest 6th-order soldier recognized as the weakest, so for Levi's and them, this is not only not a danger, but a benefit sent to the door!
Although the Barbarian Giant has implemented the poor attributes that the Beastmen have always had, it is also a 6th-order class, and the harvest will not be too shabby, and if there is a force to kill it, someone will definitely advance on the spot!
After following Levi for so long, the Sky Lone Star is naturally very familiar with Levi, of course he knows why his boss is so excited, in fact, he is also excited for the same reason, "There are about 800 meters left, and it was discovered by the guy who touched the fish, but we haven't found out who is the leader of the beastmen yet." ”
"Oh, that's the boy, well done." Levi nodded, indicating that he understood.
As the Watchers Guild continues to grow, in addition to establishing solid relationships with more guilds, more and more players are coming to the Guild, including some masters, and Fishing is one of them.
And unlike most players who actively develop troops and defeat enemy troops with a large number of troops, Touching Fish emphasizes the elite strategy, and his own combat effectiveness is also quite good, because he is a master of the archery club in the real world, and he chose the Wood Elves, a race that is good at archery, which can be said to be like a tiger with wings.
Now he is mainly responsible for commanding some long-range cavalry in Levi's troops, such as the pioneer cavalry who wields muskets, and the ranger cavalry who use bows and arrows, etc., and is also responsible for some reconnaissance missions.
Levi immediately commanded his troops, "Prepare for battle, Tanato, you are responsible for finding the commander of the other side, don't let these beastmen escape!" ”
He didn't say this casually, it was really possible.
With the end of the war between the Wood Elves and the Beastmen, the surviving Beastmen began to flee across the Old World, and it is not known if it was because they were beaten so badly by the Wood Elves, and now they have learned to run away when the war is unfavorable. And because they've plundered a lot of land before, there's a good chance they'll be carrying some extra loot, and Levi doesn't want to let these guys go.
And the reason why Levi is so sure that the other party has a commander is not only because the number of this army is here, but also because almost all the barbarian giants are sacrificed by the beastmen, or other high-level beastmen command, they themselves are so stupid that they only know how to eat all day long, and they have no ability to command the army at all.
With Levi's order, the large army moved quickly, although this is the foothills of the gray mountain range, the terrain is not very conducive to the cavalry to charge, because there are all kinds of boulders everywhere, once the cavalry charges at high speed, it is very likely that it will not have time to brake, and then directly hit the stone, but the simple encirclement task is still no problem for them.
On the other side, Tanato, Fireblade and Davey jumped off their respective mounts and took on the new flying mounts that Levi had prepared for them, and the griffins from Blackstone Castle, after greeting Levi, they took the lead in the sky, ready to launch a surprise attack on the beastmen later, and at the same time, a mixed team of griffins and manticores, under the command of the beast trainer, followed closely behind them and took off.
Then the helicopters of the two squads, also with the roar of machinery and black smoke, took off straight. They were one of the rewards that Levi got in that recruiting mission, and the weapons on them were all the latest models of Blackstone Fort, and the ammunition was absolutely sufficient, because Levi had ordered several special ammunition trucks from Blackstone Castle this time, specifically to serve them.
In fact, Levi could have brought out more helicopter units, because the gray dwarf Duke also chose to use war machines as a reward, but there are now too many races in Levi's army, and they are still gray dwarves in the chaotic camp, and if you bring them again, the impact on the morale of your own troops, especially the dwarves, is really serious.
So Levi finally had to give up this idea and instead assigned them to a vampire military advisor to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the opposing army.
After all, according to the plan he made, the other party will stay in Hemlock Castle instead of himself for a long time in the future, on the one hand, to maintain the relationship with the gray dwarves, and on the other hand, as a half-overseer and guard, saving other short-sighted Chosen Heroes from thinking carefully, and there must be a certain amount of strength under his hands.
Several of the younger brothers around them suddenly showed envious expressions, although they were very few, but no one dared to ignore their combat power, after all, they were 5th order flying monster units!
Levi looked at Thanato and the others who were far away, and he was actually a little envious, but as the commander of the troops, he was also responsible for commanding the battle, and he couldn't be as easy as Thanato, after all, the three of them who flew away were all combat heroes.
In the same way, Wallamis and Poseidon Knight also have their own duties, so although Levi also gave them a griffin each, they only used it as a spare mount and carried it with him, and did not really ride it, and the griffin could move far less quickly on land than the war horse and the lion.
As the troops advanced, Levi soon saw with his own eyes the big guy that Sky Lone Star was talking about.
Among the beastmen with an average height of less than two meters, the savage giant was a lot taller than them even when he sat on the ground, almost about the same as the minotaurs who were more than three meters tall.
At this moment, it looks like an enlarged version of a human being, but in fact it is stupid and simple, and it is also a little ugly and deformed, and on the top of its head is a pair of savage giants with half-meter-long horns, and it is constantly sending some corpses of unknown beasts into its mouth, and a large amount of blood keeps flowing down the corners of its mouth, and even internal organs are scattered from its mouth from time to time, falling on its fat belly covered with green and brown moss, which looks a little disgusting, but it doesn't care at all.
And some of the beasts next to him who have a very low status and strength are just like starving ghosts at the moment, watching it eat a lot, but no beastman dares to approach, this barbarian giant's status in the group is obviously not ordinarily high.
Seeing that more than a dozen black dots in the air were already in place, and the cavalry and infantry were also blocking the opponent's retreat, Levi couldn't help but smile, he turned his head to look at the most important half-elf under his hand, "Sienna, it's your turn, use our cannon to greet it well, it's best to lure out the other party's commander!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Sienna immediately responded very cheerfully, and then she stretched out her hand and pointed to several war chariots carrying special cannons on her side, and a burst of white light came out around her, just covering the war chariots, and the closer half-elf archers, as well as Kelly, were not affected at all, because this is the new skill that Levi handed over to the other party, which is specially designed to assist the combat skills of these war machines-ballistics, which can better improve their hit rate, and is useless for ordinary troops.
In fact, Levi originally planned to find a hero to command these war machines, preferably a dwarven hero. But after many days of turning around Blackstone Castle, he finally had to reluctantly give up this plan.
Because it is no longer the time for him to dominate Oak Village alone, while he is improving, the other Chosen Heroes are also making progress, and the competition is too fierce.
And after frequent contact with these God's Chosen Heroes, those aboriginal heroes have become more and more savvy, and they also know how to wait for the price to sell, in other words, they are not as easy to fool as Wallace and Tanato.
So in the end, Levi, who returned empty-handed, could only hand over this burden to Sienna again, at most, find a suitable person in the future, and then call him over to be the other party's deputy, and share the pressure on her.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time she had used this skill on a real battlefield, after all, she couldn't test the power of this skill in Blackstone Castle.
"Boom!"
With several loud bangs, the roaring cannonballs had already crashed into the Beastmen's position, although it may have been due to the long distance, or Sienna's first use of ballistics, so she didn't control the skills well, resulting in most of the cannonballs not hitting the target accurately, but blowing up a lot of Beastman cannon fodder, but there was still a cannon shell that hit the Savage Giant head-on.
The cannonball, with a diameter of tens of centimeters, with a whistling wind and a trace of fire, directly hit its face, even a barbarian giant weighing nearly ten tons, at this moment, he couldn't help screaming, and directly threw away the uneaten food in his hand, and the whole body involuntarily fell backwards, and smashed on the ground with a "boom", crushing more than a dozen unlucky low-level beastmen by the way.
Large strands of green, filthy blood, as if they didn't want money, flowed happily down from the cracks in its palms, dyeing its upper body a disgusting color almost instantly.
Sienna let out a low cry and covered half of her cheek, as if she was a little ashamed, it was not quite what she expected, but before she could say anything to Levi, the savage giant in the distance was already struggling to get back to her feet.
It was already ugly, but now it was disfigured by Sienna's shot, and it suddenly became even more ugly, but it completely ignored its still bleeding wound, and let out a thunderous roar, and then easily pulled most of the tree trunk from the ground, used it as its own weapon, and launched a direct charge in the direction where Levi and the others were.
At the same time, several squads of minotaurs, as well as some bighorns with bright hair, also moved with its movements. In the distance, some centaurs, picking up their axes and javelins, raised their hooves and charged.
From how quickly they reacted, Levi could tell that they were a true hundred-battle force, more well-trained than ordinary human armies, and they must have suffered similar attacks before!
Leaviston's face turned pale, and he put away all his lightness, because it seemed that this savage giant was not like his stupid kindred, but only acted as high-level cannon fodder for some beastmen with high intelligence, and it seemed that it had a leading position among these beastmen, and it was very likely to have an elite template, a savage giant with a certain intelligence!
But Levi was not afraid in the slightest, but even more excited, because the stronger the enemy, the more loot he could obtain after defeating the opponent!
It's just that these centaurs seem to be a little difficult, the ground is full of broken stones and a large number of boulders, so that the cavalry on Levi's side can't play their full strength, but these flexible centaurs don't seem to be affected much, although the centaurs are not strong, but it is more or less a trouble.
Levi immediately turned his head to look at Orfini, just in time to find that the other party was also looking at him very excitedly, and between their eyes meeting, they both understood what they meant.
Orfini immediately smiled and nodded, and then raised her hand to summon a large beast-like black shadow: "Leave it to me, Levi!" ”
