I don’t know if all the surrounding monsters were killed by the three chosen heroes before, or whether they were conquered by the undead entrenched nearby. In short, the rest of the journey was relatively peaceful.
If we had to talk about enemies, it would probably be the corpses of some beasts occasionally found on the roadside. Under the influence of evil forces, they turned into resurrected low-level undead and began to attack them.
It's just that their strength is very weak, and just a few people can easily destroy them.
But despite this, the expressions of Levi, Donna and others were a little serious, because they were not sure for a while whether this was due to the power of the undead here, or the influence of the abyss demons and the cracks in the sky.
If it's the former, that's okay, but if it's the latter, it means that the scope of influence of the devil's power is much wider than they imagined.
It's a pity that their current strength is still not enough to explore the truth. Among other things, the closest one of those abyss fissures to the ground is hundreds of meters away. Even Levi's magic can't reach that far, let alone
Go do something else.
After advancing for some distance, everyone saw a large, completely unreasonable black cloud hanging high in the air, covering a large area of land below.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "They actually created a dark sky. It seems like these undead can really seize the opportunity."
Even if the low-level undead are only exposed to sunlight, they will weaken or even die. This is why many high elf villages knew that there were undead here, but only regarded them as troubles, not threats.
reason.
Unless it's a cloudy day, a rainy day, or at night, they can only stay in that manor.
But now that there is a dark sky, their range of activities will suddenly expand countless times.
When he got closer and could really see the situation in Silent Manor clearly, Levi discovered that the information about the Lightcasters was seriously lagging behind. Not only were the undead here unaffected by demons, but they had made a huge profit from who knows where.
Pen.
The specific manifestation is that they not only built a simple low wall around the periphery of the manor, but also two arrow towers in the corners on both sides. At first glance, their defense facilities are even stronger than those of ordinary villages.
Moreover, there are some unfinished facilities in the back. It is obvious that the undead people who are entrenched here are trying to develop and expand while the high elves have no time to take care of it.
Unfortunately, because the arrow tower was tightly blocked, Li Wei didn't know what kind of enemy was inside for a while. After all, according to common sense, the low-level undead, whether they are skeletons or zombies, do not have enough wisdom and ability at all.
To complete a series of complex actions such as drawing a bow and shooting an arrow.
And probably because he had killed the three chosen heroes before, the undead here also received early warning, and there were already a large number of undead waiting for them at the gate of the manor.
Originally, according to the Lightcaster's intelligence, enemies would only appear in the manor, in the dark corners where the sun could not shine.
But now it seems that just entering this manor is not easy.
However, the area of this manor seems to be quite large, and the undead have carried out preliminary construction. If I can completely capture it, is it possible to use it for other purposes?
For example, build a new village here!
After taking a few careful glances, Levi couldn't help but become more cautious. He felt that the next battle might not go particularly smoothly.
Because in addition to the several types of undead that have been seen before, there are not only a large number of enemies here, with at least three to four hundred skeletons and zombies in total, but also many types, because they come from various different races.
In addition to the most common humans and half-elves in the nearby area, he even saw two ogres and a tauren holding a long-handled battle axe.
These big men, about four meters tall, were all a strange pale or purple color. They had obviously become undead for a long time, but just by looking at their size and muscles, he knew that even if they were dead, they would not have enough fighting power.
It’s definitely not vulgar.
I just don’t know if I was frightened by Levi’s magic, but I didn’t see the killed undead God’s Chosen Heroes for the time being.
Still some distance away, Levi ordered his troops to prepare for battle. He first put himself in a buff state, and then began to summon the ice archers to enchant the arrows of the long-range troops. The melee troops began to use
Holy water, etc. Since we know that the next step is destined to be a war, we naturally have to be fully prepared.
But looking at their actions, the other party couldn't sit still.
"Hey, your name is Levi, right? Aren't you quite famous? Why are you stopping there now and not daring to attack? Are you a coward?"
Levi was not surprised that his identity was guessed. He was no longer an unknown person in the nearby area.
He was just a little amused at the other party's low-level provocation: "Listen to the voice, you are the ghost that I just killed, right? Why don't you dare to come out and face me?"
The ghost was instantly stuck. Of course, he didn't dare to do that because he was afraid that once he really walked out, he would be killed by the opponent again!
But someone next to him couldn't help it anymore. The vampire immediately walked out from the group of soldiers, and then he shook the black and red cloak behind his back. He looked a bit handsome and dashing, but his price dropped a bit as soon as he opened his mouth.
"What are you talking about? It's just that you have better luck!"
Even from a distance, Levi seemed to be able to hear the strong sourness in his tone, which contained envy and jealousy.
Because the fact that Donna is a heroic unit has already been speculated by people who are interested, and some people even speculated about the approximate time when she started to follow Levi. This inevitably made many people jealous beyond recognition, because at that time, most of them
Some people don’t even have a level 2 soldier yet!
But Li Wei didn't care. He didn't even pay attention to the other party anymore, but concentrated on continuing to cast spells. So what happened to his good luck? If you have the guts, repeat this sentence to the goddess of luck and see if she will give you a divine punishment.
Even if I kill you, luck can be considered part of your strength!
However, these two guys have been trying to encourage themselves to take the initiative to attack, obviously there is some conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Levi first asked Cindy to release entropic light armor that had a chance of deflecting arrow attacks on himself, Donna and other important subordinates. Then he began to release mage armor and protective arrows one by one on everyone.
Especially the latter, this magic that Li Wei had copied from the old mage, he had just learned it recently, and he hadn't had time to put it to use yet, so he just wanted to test its power.
According to the introduction, during the duration of this magic, when encountering long-range projectile or flying arrow attacks, including but not limited to bows and arrows, crossbows, muskets, slings, and even cannons, etc., they will be absorbed by the magic first.
A certain amount of damage, and then calculate the protected person's own defense and so on.
With Levi's current strength, this magic can absorb up to 13 points of damage each time and can withstand up to 10 times. It can be said to be quite good. If you add the mage armor, entropic light armor, and Levi's own equipment, it can be said to be quite good.
With his defensive power, the protection of the soldier bees, the anti-evil magic ring of Guang Yakong, and many other buffing magics such as false life, the endurance of the secondary bear, it is almost impossible for him to be killed by ordinary enemies with focused fire.
Mage itself is relatively squishy, so you can't fight unprepared. You need to add all the BUFFs to your body first.
But when he cast Shiran's spell here, the enemy on the opposite side couldn't stand it. The opponent's body was flashing lights one after another, endlessly. If the opponent really needed to be properly prepared, the next battle would definitely be more difficult.
, is it possible that they just watched helplessly?
"Boss, what should I do?"
The skeleton soldier and the ghost looked at the vampire at the same time. Among the three of them, the other party was not only the most powerful, but also the smartest. It was the other party's idea to disguise themselves as wild monsters to ambush the high elves before.
.
The vampire gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, he's not done with the magic yet. Get rid of him. Our military positions are already high anyway. Now that the BOSS is away, it's just a good time for us!"
"Okay, let's do it!"
"Grandma, I must take revenge this time!"
"That's right, his head was smashed. It would be better if he could get back all the things we lost!"
Soon the three undead God-chosen heroes were completely unified in their opinions, and then there was a commotion among the skeletons and zombies, and then a four- to five-meter-long, seemingly very bulky war machine was slowly pushed out.
Even though he had never really come into contact with him, when he saw the other party's appearance, Levi instantly became serious: "Everyone prepares to defend."
Because he recognized it. It was a ballista. Because it was huge and often had wheels underneath, some people called it a ballista!
The ballista is a type of war machine that needs to be controlled by a dedicated person in order to exert its combat effectiveness. Since it is not a military unit, it is just an object, so it can also be placed in the space ring. However, it occupies a relatively large number of grids, and basically requires 5-
Only 10 squares will do.
But these guys in front of them used such a cumbersome method to push them out. Either they were so poor that they couldn't even afford a higher-end space ring, or it didn't actually belong to these guys, and they just called it temporarily.
That's all.
Then Li Wei has to be more careful and send these guys out to challenge first. Is the real owner of this place preparing other conspiracies?
"Haha, do you know you're afraid now?"
Following the slightly wild laughter of the ghost, the ballista suddenly started up, and a shriek was heard in the air. A huge white bone arrow with a diameter of more than an inch and a length of almost a person was shot directly towards the target.
Came over.
At the critical moment, Bayoru the Elephant Man, who had been standing in front of Li Wei, suddenly took a step forward and tried to block him.
However, the attack power of the ballista was so powerful that with the "bang" explosion, even the powerful Bayolu couldn't help but groan and took several steps back before barely stopping.
Although he successfully resisted the attack with a shield in one hand, and adjusted the angle of the shield at the critical moment, causing the crossbow arrow to shift slightly, thus reducing its attack power to a certain extent, but because of the powerful force attached to the crossbow arrow
Due to the impact, he still lost fifty or sixty points of blood on the spot.
There are even very obvious cracks on the shield made of metal. If it is used twice more, this green quality equipment can be thrown away directly, and it will not even have the value of recycling.
Even Donna next to her had a cold look on her face, because even as a heroic unit, she would never be able to withstand an attack of this magnitude, although once she really moved, it would be extremely difficult for the ballista to hit her.
.
But if it were replaced by other relatively fragile arms, I'm afraid it would not be impossible to be killed instantly on the spot. This is the powerful power of real war machinery.
It's just that the undead have never been good at war machinery. Most low-level soldiers simply do not have enough ability and wisdom to control war machinery. It is often almost impossible for capable necromancers and vampires to engage in such tasks.
They regarded it as a low-level task, so the enemy's use of war machinery this time was indeed beyond Li Wei's expectations.
Is it possible that this is also because of the changes brought about by those chosen heroes?
But fortunately, they all know that although the power of war machines is much greater than that of ordinary archers, their attack speed is also much slower, and it is impossible to launch another attack in a short period of time.
.
Despite this, they could no longer prepare for war as Shiran did. The maximum range of war machinery was far greater than that of ordinary bows and arrows or magic. Unless they retreated immediately and completely ran out of the opponent's range, their best way was to
Take advantage of the opening in the opponent's attack and rush forward in one go.
Of course, if it is not this kind of battle, but a conflict in the plains, there are more ways to deal with it. Not only is the ballista's attack speed extremely slow, but it also cannot predict the situation like an experienced archer.
, so they have almost no way to deal with faster-moving targets or air force units.
But before Li Wei could give the order, something strange happened again. Lines of gray-black smoke began to spread out from the giant bone arrows that were damaged due to the collision, covering an area of more than ten square meters almost instantly.
Suddenly a series of coughing sounds rang out, and all the subordinates who inhaled the smoke fell into a state of poisoning and would continue to lose health points for a period of time. Although this situation was not particularly serious, it was very disgusting.
Cindy immediately began to cast purification magic, and at the same time Levi and Donna also took out some antidote potions that had been prepared and gave them to the subordinates for use.
At this time, several undead God-chosen heroes in the distance laughed loudly.
"Haha, how about this trick?"
"Let you taste the power of our poisonous ballistae!"
Cindy and others were a little angry when they heard this, but Levi was not angry at all, but was thoughtful.
He very calmly asked his subordinates to retreat a little, trying to avoid resisting the opponent's poisonous ballistae attack. Then he summoned several medium-sized wind elements and several swift rat users, and asked them to point in the direction of several arrow towers.
Fly over.
Before they really got close, a series of "bang bang" sounds were heard, and several wind elements suffered heavy damage, but almost all of the more agile rats were unharmed. Only then did Li Wei know that the other party was actually there.
There are some musketeers on the arrow tower!
The expressions and moods of the heroes chosen by the undead gods suddenly became a little unattractive. They thought it would be a killing move, but who knew that the other party would be so cautious?
Unfortunately, they are still unable to change anything. Although they have cooperated to ambush dozens of hostile divine heroes in recent days, and their experience points and meritorious deeds have continued to be recorded in large sums, their authority here is still extremely limited.
, are not qualified to command the musketeers on the arrow tower at all. Being able to control the ballista is already their limit!
After looking at each other, they nodded in unison and unleashed another killer weapon.
So soon Li Wei and others saw another ballista being slowly pushed out by the opponent, and then started shooting.
It's just that unlike the last poisonous ballista, the arrows fired by this ballista are obviously several times smaller, but this does not mean that Levi can ignore its threat, because it directly fired five arrows at once.
!
The subordinates who were attacked, whether they were Yuyong or half-elves, were severely injured in an instant. Although the power of each arrow this time was several times weaker than the ones that attacked Bayoru before, their defenses were still weak.
In terms of strength and health, he is also far inferior to Bayoru.
So even though no poisonous gas was erupted this time, it still kept Cindy, Janet and others busy for a while.
Although no one was killed, several undead people in the distance laughed again when they saw this. However, the corners of Li Wei's mouth gradually began to rise after being provoked. He had seen through the opponent's weakness and was vaguely inquiring.
Here comes part of the truth behind it.
However, to be on the safe side, he continued to let the wind elementals and rat messengers wander around the arrow tower. He even summoned a few monsters to block the ballista, actively attracting their firepower.
This kind of crossbow, like the crossbows used by ordinary arms, cannot be ejected. Once there are enemies blocking the road ahead, they can only attack in a straight line and cannot get around them at all.
Moreover, the wind elements also began to use wind blades, and the rat warriors launched magic missiles the size of ping pong balls, and began to try to further check the situation at the arrow tower, and soon made some progress.
The people in the arrow tower are neither zombies nor skeletons, but some humans. Although their faces are also very pale, they are indeed not undead, because under the attack of the wind element and the rat user, their wounds are flowing with bright red.
of blood.
But it wasn't over yet. Levi let the summoned creatures continue to harass under the arrow tower. It wasn't until a few minutes later that he understood the rules thoroughly, and then he sent back all the summoned creatures that had accomplished their tasks well.
The original world.
At this time, the chosen heroes who were replaced by the undead were feeling depressed.
If they were not clear about Li Wei's purpose at the beginning, but now a few minutes later, even a fool can know that Li Wei was obviously testing the attack distance, attack power, attack interval, etc. of his own ballistas and musketeers.
In total, they just killed a few of the opponent's summons, and in the end, all the relevant secrets of their own side were exposed!
