As the troops continued to advance inward, the forks in the road began to gradually increase. As a last resort, Sun Knight and others had to divide their troops into several groups and launch an attack at the same time.
Levi immediately heightened his vigilance. Based on his understanding of those three guys, especially the Vampire God's Chosen Hero, he would definitely take the opportunity to do something, such as a counterattack or something.
But unexpectedly, they continued to advance very far, and no sudden incident occurred until they came to the center of the entire manor, a building that covered an area of about two to three hundred square meters and looked extremely gorgeous.
.
This unexpected situation not only made Li Wei wary, but even the Sun Knights, Lightcasters and others were particularly surprised. Therefore, they did not rush to attack the enemy's last stronghold, but began to prepare for war on the plains.
In any case, our side has captured more than 90% of the area here. As long as they defeat the enemies in front, they can completely occupy this large manor.
At the same time, some priests, druids, and bards have also begun to use various buffs. With or without BUFF, the combat effectiveness is really different.
But before they were fully prepared, the enemies inside seemed to realize this, so with a loud bang, the entire door flew out, and then a large group of undead poured out.
After a few casual glances, Levi, Sun Knight and others all frowned in unison, because they knew that although the number of enemies in front of them was not large, probably only a hundred or so in total, they were a rare elite force.
The most obvious thing is that there are not even any skeletons or zombies among them. The weakest ones are ghouls and tomb guards, and there are also several new types of soldiers.
The first is a muscular giant that is more than two meters tall and has a strange purple-black color all over its body. Although it does not have any weapons, it is already marked by bone spurs all over its body and a pair of huge claws that are severely mutated and glowing with purple-black light.
their level of danger.
They are the advanced unit of ghouls, Tomb Ghouls. It is said that their advanced conditions are very special. Not only must they accumulate enough experience points, but they must also drink the blood of a real vampire or devour the flesh of a vampire.
, to advance successfully.
Although the conditions are extremely harsh, their level 4 strength is worthy of these difficulties. Their attacks are armor-breaking and poisonous, and they have a certain self-healing ability. If they are singled out, the horned demon warlords who are also level 4 will also be defeated.
They can easily be defeated.
If we have to talk about weaknesses, it is probably that in addition to the general weaknesses of the undead, their own defense is relatively weak. When they are attacked by long-range attacks, they can easily fall into the street, and the flames will also cause their own damage.
The healing ability is completely disabled.
Then came some melee infantrymen armed with two-handed giant swords and covered in black armor. If the ordinary tomb guards looked like professional soldiers, then they looked like elite warriors.
They are the dark warriors of the undead, corresponding to the great swordsmen of the Sigma Empire. They are both level 4 and are very good at killing fragile unarmored or low-armored infantry.
Finally, there were some who were holding thin swords, had pale faces, and wore extremely gorgeous pointed ears. Between opening and closing their mouths, some sharp canine teeth were vaguely exposed. They were all vampires.
Now it's a little bit troublesome, because vampires are a race of both magic and martial arts. It's difficult to accurately judge the opponent's strength before fighting in person.
There was no intention of communicating at all. As soon as they appeared, the ghouls and tomb ghosts roared and charged, their eyes full of desire for flesh and blood and killing.
The Tomb Guards and the Black Warriors also lined up in neat formation and advanced slowly. Although they were not really close yet, many of them seemed to have felt the cold edge of the opponent's sword.
But the ones who were faster than them were the vampires. Following the spells, dozens of magic circles soon shone, and then large groups of wild wolves and bats emerged from them. Judging from their appearance, they were all
Undead.
They are also the ones that vampires like to summon most. Although their strength is very poor, there are quite a lot of them, and they may have miraculous effects in melee.
Then these vampires retreated instead of advancing, each one pulled away with a strange smile, and continued to cast magic, as if they wanted to fight a war of attrition.
Fortunately, along the way, this was not the first time that everyone encountered a similar situation. Li Wei directly released all the wind elements. With their small-scale group attack skills, they were able to fight against groups of bats and wolves.
It will be extra advantageous for enemies that are larger in number but extremely weak in strength.
Then he began to summon the Archons and Gaidin Celestials, and went around from the side, trying to entangle these vampires who were not a big threat, but were very good at causing trouble for others.
The enemy is so powerful that he doesn't have to hold back anymore, and since everyone is from the same guild, even if they know part of his strength, it actually doesn't matter anymore.
Then arrows rained down like a rain of arrows, magic and divine spells flew together. As soon as the battle started, it instantly became extremely fierce.
As for other mages, they have begun to prepare fire magic. Enemies with self-healing abilities such as trolls and tomb ghouls can basically be contained with fire, not to mention that most undead are born with fire magic.
Weaknesses, using fire to deal with them is a sure-fire deal.
Soon enemies such as tomb ghosts and black warriors also collided with the melee troops. At this time, the strength gap between the two sides became apparent. Even though they had a lot of buff magic and they had an advantage in numbers,
However, troops continued to die in battle.
But fortunately, the number of their troops this time is large enough. Before the war started, the Sun Knight said that if one layer of gun array cannot stop the enemy, then just put up a few more layers. Anyway, they have a lot of people now!
The only exception is probably Zhou Miyin and others.
They themselves are relatively strong, and have many buffing magics, the protection of the soldiers and the anti-evil magic ring of Guang Yakong, etc. Even if they face level 4 enemies, they are only slightly at a disadvantage.
And those tomb demons will definitely not have a hard time. Many of the skills of the Jade Halberdiers were originally designed to fight against charging cavalry or large monsters.
But their performance is still not as good as Cindy and Julia, the two little girls. There is no way, this is because they have specialization in the industry.
However, as he continued to fight, as the number of enemies decreased rapidly, Levi felt that something was not right. Why didn't any of the three undead God-chosen heroes see a shadow?
If they don't launch a counterattack now, they will really have no chance at all!
But even though Li Wei was full of doubts and confusion, as the battle continued, all the undead present were successfully killed without any unexpected incidents.
Several vampires tried to escape by turning into bats, but Archon the Mastiff and the Wolf Patrollers did not let them go, and forcibly pulled them down and beat them to death.
Then the Sun Knight and others broke into the enemy's last building one after another. Whether there were remaining enemies inside or the wealth accumulated by the undead, they needed to find out.
Then after a careful search, they all knew where those guys were, because in addition to a small vault, there was a back door inside the building. Those guys probably ran away when they saw the situation was not going well.
Got it!
Although it was a small regret that I could not take revenge personally, after spending a long time and sending out more than a dozen thieves and rogues in turn, opening the door of the vault and seeing the many trophies hidden inside, no matter it was
Both the Lightcasters and the wealthy Sun Knights were all smiling. It was no wonder that they had spent so much manpower and material resources, and the rewards were indeed amazing!
First of all, there are a large number of silver and gold coins, elemental crystals of various series, and valuables such as pearls and agate.
Li Wei made a rough calculation and found that the value is at least between 120 and 150 gold coins. Even if part of it is set aside as guild assets, plus the income from the Dwarf Hills dungeon, it can be said that every participant today will directly
It took off on the spot.
Then there were dozens of sets of standard battle armor, which looked exactly like those worn by the Tomb Warriors before.
Although after killing them before, a lot of them were dropped, but how can those parts be compared with this complete set of brand-new goods? The feeling in my heart is different.
Then there were several large piles of arrows. One look at their specifications showed that they were not prepared for ordinary archers, but for ballistae. Li Wei had already acquiesced that they belonged to him, and they were for others to use temporarily anyway.
Not on.
That is, he may need to recruit some professionals to control the ballista, or learn relevant skills for some of his subordinates, so that they can better control them in battle.
Moreover, the daily transportation of ballistae is also a big problem. One Reaper ballistae will occupy a full 10 blocks of space. After installing two of them, plus the space occupied by other supplies and so on, there will be no space.
How many grids are left?
He even began to consider whether to buy a new space ring or move the two ballistae to another place, for example, buy two carriages to carry them?
Then there were five or six parchment scrolls. When he saw them, Li Wei immediately stepped forward to take a closer look, because he knew that in this treasure house, perhaps their value was the highest.
After seeing the attributes, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh. He was so sleepy that he hit the pillow. These things were just right for the War Heaven Guild at this moment.
The Sun Knight and the Lightcaster couldn't help laughing on the spot, because these parchments were actually architectural drawings!
Residential houses, guard towers, taverns, fences, and blacksmith shops, except for a spiritual tomb that summons ghost troops, which they cannot use for the time being, plus the heart of the village they already own, a brand new village is already in front of them, and they have another
How could you not be happy about it?
Sun Knight directly took out a spherical object, which vaguely contained a miniature village, which was the heart of the village.
"The system just reminded me that I have killed all the defenders and occupied important areas, and the owner of this place is no longer here, so we have officially conquered this place. I will build a village now, okay?"
The master is not here?
Levi frowned a little. Although he had killed a considerable number of undead, he had not killed the final vampire BOSS, which was somewhat of a hidden danger.
However, at such a critical moment, he certainly would not let the other party lose face. He immediately nodded directly: "I agree, it is better to build the village sooner rather than later, and the undead have left us so many buildings, so we can just use it."
The Lightcasters and others next to them also nodded, so the Sun Knight laughed and pressed the Heart of the Village to the ground. When it just touched the ground, he seemed to hesitate, but within half a second, he still
He continued his actions.
There was only a glimmer of light, and although there was no change in appearance, Levi subconsciously felt that everything here felt familiar to him.
Then he discovered that there was a new page in his property panel, which was the guild's residence, a village called Silent Manor.
Since it had just been built, except for the luxurious mansion where they were located, which was the central area of the entire village and town, all other buildings were in a dilapidated state, and were basically equivalent to nothing for the time being.
At the same time, he also understood why the Sun Knight hesitated just now.
Because this place has been occupied by the undead for many years, the evil power has already penetrated into the earth, forming a special undead corruption. Its effect is somewhat similar to the corruption of demons. Ordinary plants cannot survive here.
The attractiveness of Aboriginal people has dropped significantly, and tax revenue will also be affected to a certain extent.
Moreover, special undead disturbances occur regularly. Every midnight, in the open space outside the manor, resurrected skeletons, zombies, and even ghost-like enemies may appear to invade.
If it is not dealt with in time, the morale of ordinary Aboriginal people who witness this scene will drop significantly in the next few days. If the same Aboriginal people are affected multiple times in a short period of time, they may take the initiative to relocate to other places.
village.
In addition to the need to eliminate the undead that appear in time, if you want to completely change this situation, you must either build a temple to suppress them, or send out priests regularly every day to purify the land until the land returns to normal.
And even if you do this, it will take at least ten days and a half to slowly recover, and if you want to plant the land again, it will take even more time. It is really because the undead are against
This place is so poisoned.
But correspondingly, this place is not entirely disadvantaged.
The first is the luxurious mansion they are currently in. In addition to attributes such as defense and health, which are far superior to those of ordinary novice village meeting halls, there are also two negative energy magic circles below the mansion.
Originally, the vampire BOSS here used them to maintain the normal operation of the undead army. At the same time, the magic circle would automatically produce a certain amount of negative energy crystals every day.
For others, they are used in exchange for money, but for Sun Knight, a person who is committed to changing his profession to the Black Guard, this is a pure surprise.
Secondly, the vampire BOSS is probably studying how to recruit Skeleton Knights and Black Knights. Although he has never seen these two types of troops before, probably because he has not really succeeded yet, he also quietly instigated a special building - the Cursed Stable.
Only a small amount of negative energy crystals are consumed to recruit a certain number of bone horses and corpse horses from them on a regular basis.
Although according to the attribute introduction, their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning at all, and they are still undead. Riding them will slightly affect the morale of the living, but Levi does not think this is a drawback, or at least not completely.
Because for the God-chosen heroes, sometimes attractive appearance is more important than strength.
Think about it, when others are riding little donkeys, you are riding a bone horse. This suddenly widens the gap. Even Li Wei began to consider whether to suggest that Sun Knight sell limited quantities to the outside world.
The smaller the quantity of some things, the more precious they are.
And the more important thing is that when they are used as mounts, they are the same as ordinary donkeys and do not require riding skills at all, which makes their value even higher.
Finally, there is a special building - the dark clay mine. Compared with ordinary clay, they have a slight dark attribute, so the value is slightly higher, but compared to the previous ones, it is just an addition.
In addition, because of Levi's previous indiscriminate bombing, a large number of dilapidated buildings were left here. Whether it is directly dismantled into materials or repaired on the basis, it can save money and effort.
There are also some low-level military buildings within the manor that can summon skeletons and zombies. For guild members who are basically all lawful, neutral and good except for the Sun Knight, they are temporarily unavailable, but even if they are dismantled,
Materials can also make a small profit.
Although in theory, the heroes chosen by the Undead can build a village here to maximize their benefits, but for the Sun Knights, Levi and others, this place is definitely much better than building a village anywhere on the plains.
Well, even if you just sell bone horses, corpse horses and negative energy crystals, you can definitely make a fortune.
So the Sun Knight finally decided to build a village here. As for these shortcomings that are almost intolerable to the aboriginal people, it may be a good thing for the God-chosen heroes, because this means that they can live without leaving home.
You can kill monsters now!
As for the impact on tax revenue, although it is a pity, the tax revenue of ordinary villagers for one year is probably not as much as the harvest of a God-chosen hero fighting monsters for half a day, so it is more valuable, right?
During this half-month period, they can completely turn this place into a pure guild base and let the undead people practice for newcomers. After the priests have purified it, they can introduce a large number of indigenous people and continue construction.
After laughing, the Sun Knight signaled the Lightcasters to start distributing the spoils of the battle. Then he turned to look at Levi: "Do you think those bee people will be willing to come here now?"
Levi glanced at Janet, and after seeing her shaking her head slightly in embarrassment, he responded: "It's a bit difficult. The diets of bees and humans are different. They need to eat nectar regularly. There doesn't seem to be anything nearby.
of flower fields.”
The Sun Knight couldn't help but sigh: "If it doesn't work, I will hire some farmers first, cultivate flower fields on normal land a few miles away, and then send special personnel to defend, and then wait half a month before letting the bees officially
Move here."
Levi nodded, but he didn't have much idea about this. Apart from the reconnaissance ability, what he valued about the bees was actually the guarding skills of the soldiers. Apart from that, the bees didn't have many obvious advantages.
As his strength gradually grew stronger and Sam's kin arrived, these two uses of soldier bees became less important.
If it were not for Janet's existence and the recent demonic outbreak, the nearby villages did not have enough soldiers. He might have considered finding a time to kick them out and then recruit other stronger soldiers.
But now, I'm afraid it's not too far away from this time, because according to Reiner, reinforcements from the high elves will arrive soon.
Seeing the heated discussion among the Sun Knights, Lightcasters and others, Levi suddenly said: "Do you remember the Lotus Iris of the Red Brotherhood?"
"She said at the beginning that as long as a red flag is planted behind the tavern, she will send someone as soon as possible. How about cooperating with her to recruit some troops, garrison, and even villagers?"
The Sun Knight was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. Indeed, ordinary aborigines may be afraid of undead people such as skeletons, but the red brothers dare to fight the demon army head-on. How could they be afraid?
As long as the money is in place, none of this should be a problem at all!
After thinking for a while, Levi continued: "As for the businessman, I can also try to contact him. I happen to know a guy who is not afraid of death, but you may have to give him a discount."
He was talking about the traveling merchant Tros. That guy was a bastard. He was robbed once by the Snake Cult, so he now had no money to hire a bodyguard, but he still dared to go from village to village under such circumstances.
Jumping, just to make some profit from it, can be said to be extremely courageous.
As long as the benefits are big enough, it's definitely not difficult to call him over to open a shop in the village and make use of the connections he has. And he can definitely figure out that having his own protection here is definitely better than running a single gang on his own.
Much stronger.
And it is also of great benefit to himself. Whether it is weapon enchantment or the hunting shackles he plans to make next, he needs a stable channel. He can't always let him do everything by himself, right?
The Sun Knight suddenly became more and more moved. He immediately patted his chest and promised: "Levi, don't worry, as long as he is willing to come, I will never treat him badly. Of course, I will not treat you badly."
"Even just because of your hard work, I will definitely build our war paradise into the number one guild!"
