On the way back, Levi also stopped by the Bee Tribe, otherwise Janet would never feel at ease. Then they discovered something very unexpected. They didn’t know whether it was because the location of the beehive was too remote or secret, or because
They said they were lucky enough that the place was not invaded by demons.
But despite this, when they arrived, the entire hive was still on high alert. After all, even if they had not been attacked yet, the previous movements and the remaining abyss fissures hanging in the sky were not
Fake.
After a few casual glances, Li Wei knew that they were developing well these days. The defenders outside now had more than thirty soldiers and fifty or sixty drones, and there were more worker bees and giant bees inside.
Coupled with the favorable terrain here, even if the old witch with unknown strength does not take action personally, it is impossible for an ordinary jackal slave hunting group to capture this place.
But now their enemies have become real demons. Although the flying castles have gone to attack the high elves, those abyss fissures are still there. After their energy is restored, more demons will inevitably pour out of them.
, and once they notice this place, there must be only one ending waiting for the bees, and that is death and destruction.
The old witch was obviously aware of this problem, so when Janet asked for a meeting, her face, which had been smiling before, was now full of worry.
Li Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. In this case, maybe he had a good suggestion.
Janet inquired about the situation and found out that the hive had indeed not been attacked recently and was getting better and better, so she finally felt relieved.
But the old witch couldn't let go. After a slight hesitation, she finally asked: "Lord Levi, how long do you think it will take for this commotion from the devil to end?"
It's a pity that Levi couldn't answer this question because he couldn't figure it out at all. The details depended on the actions of the high elves and nearby temples. Otherwise, if they just relied on their divine selection of heroes, I really don't know how long it would take.
Yue, at least there is no way they can take those flying castles in a short period of time.
So he answered the other party truthfully.
"Is this so"
Not getting the answer she expected, the old witch suddenly frowned even deeper. Although she successfully escaped from the Underdark, she also got rid of her disgusting and even hated kin, but she didn't expect that the surface world was also so dangerous.
"I know what you are worried about, and I can tell you for sure that even if there is no change from the devil, it will be difficult for you to stay in the rocky highlands safely, because the power of the God-chosen heroes is constantly getting stronger, and sooner or later they will pay attention
As you can tell, not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am."
He is not completely intimidating the opponent, because for many God-chosen heroes, especially the God-chosen heroes from the evil camp, they cannot give themselves mission rewards or use them for their own use, which is mobile experience points that can be killed.
.
As soon as the words came out, not only did the old witch frown more and more, but even Janet next to her became a little impatient. Although she had followed Levi now, she still had deep feelings for the bee tribe.
But the old witch was not a fool. She quickly realized that since Li Wei said this and still smiled, there was obviously some solution.
"Then I wonder if Mr. Levi has any solution? I hope that because of Janet's cooperation with us, Sir, you can lend a helping hand. The Bee Tribe and I will definitely be rewarded afterwards."
Levi smiled, knowing that the fish had taken the bait: "Of course there is a way. You know that the surrounding towns or villages, whether humans or high elves, cannot accept you, but if you are a hero chosen by God, there is another way.
Let’s forget about it.”
The old witch suddenly realized that she seemed to have guessed something: "Lord Levi, are you ready to build your own village?"
Levi shook his head: "No, it's not just me, but an organization united by many elite God-chosen heroes. We are preparing to build a village. If you can cooperate with us, your safety will be owned by us.
People protect each other, but at the same time, you also know that you must give something, just like now."
This answer was slightly beyond the old witch's expectations, but it actually sounded better. As for paying something, she didn't have much objection, it was just a matter of course.
"So it's just to provide recruitable subordinates?"
"Yes, but if you can do more, of course we will welcome you more. At that time, we can sign a long-term contract under the supervision of the gods. Even if you and the Bee Tribe are separated for other reasons in the future,
If you want to leave the village, it is something that can be discussed."
For Li Wei himself, although the bees are a flying unit, they can only be of some use in the early stages. With the rapid development of strength, most of the bees will soon be eliminated. After all, their foundation is too weak.
But if the old witch can bring the bees to join the guild, it will definitely be of great benefit to other people. This can be regarded as a contribution made by myself as the vice president to the guild. Anyway, instead of giving others an advantage, it will be of great benefit to others.
It's better to take advantage of your acquaintances.
And further, if I can recruit the old mage Tes, the old witch Greta, and the jackal witch Tiva, three powerful legal aborigines under my command, wouldn't it be a direct takeoff?
The old witch was immediately moved: "Thank you, Lord Levi, but I need to discuss it with other bees and the new queen first."
Having said that, everyone knows that this is just a statement, and the actual controller of the bee tribe is still herself.
Li Wei didn't take it too seriously. He nodded casually: "Of course, we also have to choose a place that is most suitable for building a village."
A few minutes later, Levi left the hive with a few more soldiers and bees. At the same time, there was another communication token in his backpack, which was from the old witch.
After consuming a certain amount of magic, they can send messages to each other, but the maximum range is only a hundred miles, and it may be affected by powerful magic or mages, which may lead to the risk of the communication being eavesdropped or simply failing.
But despite this, it is still a pretty good gadget.
After walking two or three miles, Levi flipped through the magic book again, and then successfully learned the Lesser Owl's Insight. Among the many magics he has copied, only the two first-level magics of summoning poison ivy and magic missiles have not been learned.
.
At this time, the old mage who had just been watching quietly without saying a word finally sighed: "Lord Li Wei, although I already know the special features of the God's Chosen Heroes, but you
Time and time again it exceeded my expectations.”
"There are jackals, bees, and even so many different types of soldiers from different races in the team. How many secrets do you have?"
This was the first time he called Li Wei "my lord". Before that, even though Li Wei rescued him, out of the mage's pride, he was only willing to call each other "mage".
Li Wei smiled. The other party had not formally surrendered to him, so of course he would not reveal all his secrets.
However, the old mage just sighed and had no real intention to get to the bottom of it, but in fact both of them knew that he was getting more and more shaken.
After a slight hesitation, the old mage finally sighed: "Lord Levi, I should apologize to you, because the duet ring we traded may have caused some trouble for you."
"Oh, is he the green-skinned shaman?"
The old mage was shocked when he heard this: "What? You already know?"
Levi shrugged: "Haha, those green-skinned orcs don't seem to have any other spellcasting professions."
Each race has different talents and specializes in different professions. For example, it is almost impossible for fishmen to have fire magicians. Similarly, orcs do not have real magicians. They either rely on nature and the earth.
and the power of ancestors, or rely on the mysterious and mysterious power of WAAAGH to cast spells.
The old mage gritted his teeth: "Since you have guessed it, I will not hide it from you. I indeed snatched that ring from a green-skinned shaman. He is the leader of a small tribe. Those green-skinned shamans before.
Pi is here to seek revenge from me, and you may also be attacked by them."
Li Wei had already guessed this: "How strong are they?"
"Because it's just a small tribe, it's not very strong. The most elite are some green-skinned big guys and war pig boys. There may be stronger ones, but at least I haven't found any."
Li Wei nodded: "How strong is the shaman?"
Most greenskins are brainless guys. They only know how to show off their strength and bravery. When they encounter an enemy, they rush forward in a swarm. It is almost impossible for them to ambush or lure the enemy, so generally as long as they can
After surviving their first wave of onslaught, the advantage will gradually and rapidly tilt to the other side.
But if there are special green skins such as shamans, it will be more troublesome, not only because of their spells, but also because of their brains.
"Level 4 elite, proficient in summoning, but after losing the ring, his strength has been greatly reduced. It shouldn't take much effort for you to deal with him."
If the opponent is really strong, he won't be able to succeed so easily.
Levi suddenly laughed: "I see, I know, forget it if they don't come, if they really dare to come, I will let them know how powerful I am."
Today is different from the past. As long as he is not attacked while fighting others, the threat of these low-level green skins is not high.
The old mage also nodded and said no more. Now he has finally solved a knot in his heart. To be honest, although he concealed this, no matter how you look at it, he definitely did not treat Li Wei badly in the original transaction.
Compared with when they went there, they did not encounter many enemy attacks on the way back. It seemed that with the departure of the demon's flying castle, the jackals and demons here also disappeared without a trace.
However, when they returned to the village, they found that there were about dozens of low-level demons attacking here, and there were almost the same number of corpses on the ground around them.
Looking at the many buildings that looked more dilapidated than when he left, Levi knew that the village was not stable during this period.
Since there were many divinely chosen heroes in the village leading the defense, some demons were almost killed in the blink of an eye, but the old mage kept groaning, appearing to be extremely sorry.
Levi suddenly felt a little weird. Logically speaking, this is the territory of high elves and half-elves. You were just invited by the old village chief to help. Why do you have such an expression?
But soon he thought of another key point. Since it is a half-elf, it certainly contains the blood of both elves and humans. If this old mage has some blood relationship with the half-elves in the village, it doesn't seem to be anything.
Something that is completely incomprehensible.
It happened that the old village chief was also leading the team to organize defense, so Li Wei went directly to hand in a task. When he saw that he had returned successfully, the old village chief was immediately overjoyed, although their number was much smaller than when they set out.
But after all, some people came back alive from the hands of the devil.
Regardless of the interaction between the two old men, Li Wei was very satisfied to see that he had received a large amount of reputation, military merit points and experience points. This time the reward was battle experience. As long as he works hard for a day and a half, his
The battle level is almost ready to be improved.
But this was not over yet. After arranging for the old mage and other prisoners to rest, the old village chief quickly forced out a smile: "Congratulations, Lord Levi, there is a magic communication from Ash Ridge Town, for you.
Rewards and encouragement.”
Levi suddenly became energetic and knew that this matter must be related to Reiner. Could it be that the town knew about a series of things he did before the demon invaded?
The next moment, as the old village chief spoke, Levi's system prompt also popped up.
"Through the power of magic, the many efforts you made before the official invasion of demons, including but not limited to killing the heroic units of Chaos Dwarves and Fly Demons, annihilating Yeenoghu's fangs, destroying the furnace of flames and the evil lair, have been accomplished.
Known by many high elves."
"Although it is too late now, the proud Asul will never let down a true hero. The acting lord has personally rewarded you as follows."
"Your regional legend is +1. Your regional legend has accumulated to 5 points, which is converted into 1 legend point. From now on, as time goes by, more and more existences will notice you.
As you rise, your glorious deeds will continue to be spread among the people, and you will gain additional hidden advantages when recruiting all indigenous people."
"Your military rank is promoted to sergeant, and the military merit points required for your promotion to non-commissioned officer are reduced by 60%."
Sergeant, life +15, magic +15, leadership +30, all high elves under his command +10 life, half-elves +5 life.
"You have started a new military mission - patrolling and vigilance. When you destroy monsters around high elves' towns or villages, you will receive additional experience points and military merit points based on their number and strength."
"You gain feats - Mounted Spellcasting, Moving Spellcasting."
Mounted Spellcasting - You can cast spells while mounted (except flying mounts).
Mobile Casting - You can cast spells while moving.
"You have completed the mission entrusted by Lena Caledo. The Erion cavalry will be at your command at any time. You can incorporate them into your formal subordinates, or continue to let them serve as guards."
"In order to resist the invasion of demons, a small army of high elves will arrive in two days via warships. If your military rank is high enough, you may get some convenience in recruitment - Lena Caledor.
"
With this series of system prompts, Levi's mood became better and better. Indeed, this is a world with many strange magics. As long as he meets a wise leader, his efforts will not be in vain. Now it seems
, neither Reiner nor the female acting lord above him lacks wisdom and generosity.
Those two specialties were originally what he wanted to redeem. A mage who could only stand still and cast spells would be too dangerous once targeted by the enemy. But with these two specialties, his flexibility in casting spells has been greatly improved.
Well, this acting lord, who has never been masked before, really understands his thoughts very well.
Moreover, he also completely understood the usefulness of legend. Before, he had only slightly guessed it from the performance of the old village chief, quartermaster and others, but now he can finally be sure of it.
Then he took another look at his military merit points and found that after the discount, he could barely be promoted to a non-commissioned officer. However, in this way, he could exchange for the battle skills to improve leadership for Donna, the magic item manufacturing expertise for himself, and the gift for Donna.
Janet had to continue to postpone her preparations for the little gryphon.
But Reiner's reminder was obviously not something he would say casually, which really made him a little embarrassed.
However, after a brief consideration, he decided to listen to the other party's advice and go to the quartermaster's office to further improve his military position. After all, this guy always seemed to be quite reliable.
"Your rank has been promoted to sergeant."
Sergeant, life +30, magic +30, leadership +100, all high elves under his command +20 life, attack +3, defense +3, half-elf life +10
"You have opened a new military position authority. During the war, after the town or village garrison is sufficient or with the approval of relevant personnel, you can temporarily mobilize no more than one squadron of high elf garrison. Military merit points will be continuously consumed during the transfer.
If any garrison suffers casualties as a result, you need to compensate accordingly."
"You have started a new military mission - training new recruits. You can take new recruits from some towns or villages out for training. If their rank is improved within the specified time, you will receive a certain amount of military merit points as a reward. If
If a recruit accidentally dies in battle, you will suffer certain punishment."
"You have opened a new military mission - Troop Garrison. You can station part of your troops in towns or villages. The troops stationed during the period will not consume your leadership, and the garrisoned area will provide food for your army.
Waiting for necessary supplies, you will be rewarded with certain military merit points every day based on the strength of the garrisoned troops.
If a town or village is attacked during this period, your troops will participate in the battle together. Depending on the outcome of the battle, your troops may suffer casualties, but they may also receive additional rewards."
Levi suddenly became more and more interested. He knew that as the military rank continued to increase, the attribute bonuses would become more and more exaggerated, but he did not expect that the bonuses for sergeants would be so much.
Coupled with the racial talent of the high elves and their martial prowess, even the defense of level 2 spearmen will become extremely exaggerated. If they are duel with ordinary level 3 soldiers like the horned devil, they may not be at a disadvantage in a short time.
The two new military assignments also interested him very much.
At first glance, training new recruits is not an easy task. It is better to train outsiders than to train your own real subordinates, and you must also ensure that the new recruits do not suffer casualties. But if he is not rushing to complete the task from the beginning, but wants to prostitute them for free.
What about its combat effectiveness?
I just don’t know what the strength of these recruits is yet. If they are all level 0 and level 1 half-elf miscellaneous soldiers, forget it. But if they are high elf soldiers, even the lowest level starts at level 2.
, then it will be useful.
The second mission is more suitable for the current Li Wei. He has always been worried that his leadership cannot keep up with the rapidly expanding army, but now he has found a suitable place for the weaker ones.
There is no need for them to go out to fight. They can just work as guards in the village and pay their own wages. They can exchange the money for military merit points!
