In the next two days, Li Wei did not leave Bitao Village too far, but was busy building and developing this village that truly belonged to him.
First, Lilith Temple agreed to the idea of adding refugees to Bitao Village. After conducting many escort missions, although there were occasional minor casualties along the way, the number of villagers in the village was still successfully more than doubled.
Although these villagers are basically ordinary farmers and rarely have special talents with other skills, they have also greatly supplemented the village's vitality.
Now, in addition to buildings such as taverns and grocery stores that require professionals, other lumberyards, open-pit mines, and the like are now operating at full speed, with a steady stream of resources being added to the warehouse every day.
But it is almost reaching its limit now, because there are not that many destroyed villages nearby, and although demons are still pouring out from the cracks in the abyss, except for the Black Fort, which is the center of gravity of the battle between the two sides, in other places,
Not only did the threat posed by the demons not increase, but it gradually decreased.
This is mainly due to several reasons.
First of all, many heroes chosen by the high elves gradually arrived for reinforcements. Although their average strength was not high and they were unable to fight against large-scale demons, after all, their numbers, potential, and wisdom were all there, so they were eliminated.
Less devil.
Then reinforcements arrived one after another from the colonies of other nearby high elf kingdoms. In addition to providing more abundant recruiting opportunities for the God-chosen heroes, the addition of these regular troops also began to gradually station in each village, which gradually strengthened the defense strength of each village.
Finally, it was because of the existence of Tyrandor Destruction Star and the numerous wood elves under him.
According to Lilith's priest, after solving the group of demons who were trying to do evil and sending the sealed objects to an unknown location, they did not just leave, but joined the battle again, near the Black Castle.
He showed great power on the battlefield, killed a considerable number of demons, and even took the lead in attacking the interior of the Black Castle several times.
It's just a pity that the demons obviously planned to use it as an important base for their march into the main world. Therefore, after occupying it, they built a large number of fortifications, deployed a large amount of protective magic, and accumulated a large army of demons.
More importantly, just as Levi had worried before, they really desecrated the dragon cemetery and created two powerful undead creatures, the bone dragon and the ghost dragon.
Although except for a few special beings such as lich, most creatures will have their strength reduced to varying degrees after becoming undead. According to intelligence, bone dragons and ghost dragons are also likely to be level 6 or even level 7.
level of arms, and besides the Dragon Prince himself, probably no one knows how many dragon bones there are in the dragon cemetery.
Coupled with the large number of demons, as well as at least a dozen demon heroes, and the demons' sacrificial rituals, even if they have the upper hand for a while, it is difficult to be truly broken.
Even if the Star of Destruction is a legendary hero holding a semi-artifact, he cannot defeat the city alone and can only hope for more reinforcements.
And it can be expected that as the reinforcements increase, the battle between the two sides around the Black Castle will become more and more intense.
However, Li Wei feels that if he wants to truly and completely resolve this war, he may have to wait for the arrival of the legendary mage Teclis.
Because if the abyss rift is not completely closed, the demons will have a steady stream of reinforcements arriving. Mortals will never be able to compete with the demons in numbers, and no matter which side has war dead on either side, they will become part of the sacrificial ceremony. That is really
It's so disgusting.
After the villagers almost settled down, several buildings were officially built one after another.
The temple of Sehani Moongong occupies the largest area, with three floors above ground and one underground floor. The total area is probably more than 3,000 square meters. Moreover, two ancient guardians were planted at the entrance of the temple, which once caused the villagers to
of intense onlookers.
But it also brought many benefits to Li Wei. First of all, after having this temple, when encountering an invasion by a foreign enemy, all the personnel in the temple will participate in the battle.
There are about a dozen priests inside now, and a total of more than 50 night elf huntresses and archers, which is considered a good fighting force at this stage.
In normal times, priests can also help purify evil forces such as undead and demons, and occasionally treat villagers injured in accidents for free. At the same time, they can also create holy water, some low-level consumable scrolls, etc.
Whether it is sold directly to Li Wei or placed in a store, it can enrich the village's output to a certain extent.
As for the price Li Wei had to pay, it was insignificant. He just allowed them to spread their faith in the village.
For the gods and their priests, this is a very important matter, because it is related to the divine power they possess. It can be said that except for the elemental gods, most gods value this very much, because they are originally known as
A god who lives by faith.
And for a weak divine power like Sehani Moonbow, the number of her followers is estimated to be only 8,000 or 8,000, or even less. If the seven or eight hundred people that this village currently has can be counted,
Turning her into a devout believer would definitely be a great tonic for her.
There is no way. Although the main world is large, the competition is also very fierce. There are dozens of elven gods alone, and the total number of gods from different human factions is already three digits. Her priesthood only has prophecy and illusion.
Such small gods are of little use and it is difficult to compete with other gods.
Although she has now become the patron saint of the night elves, one of the elven subspecies, at present, the night elves are still small in size and there are not many in total. Moreover, due to the different fighting habits of the members, it is still divided into
There are several different factions.
Some believe in Hos, the god of knowledge and wisdom, some believe in Kunos, the god of hunting, and some believe in Solonor Shanlandri, the god of bows and arrows.
Among these three gods, even the weakest god of bows and arrows has medium divine power, with a divine level as high as 11, which is far beyond what her weak divine power with a divine level of only 3 can match.
Therefore, it is understandable that they attach great importance to Bitao Village. The priests even vaguely revealed to Li Wei that if he and his subordinates were willing to choose to believe in this goddess, the goddess's dependents might be sent out more
Many night elves came to help.
Of course, Li Wei would not agree so easily. After all, judging from the situation shown by the other party, not counting those few seeds, the strongest among them was only level 3, which was far from worth his effort.
It's hard work.
And even if you really work hard, there is a better choice in front of you. Lilith seems to be much more generous than her, and she has a lot of energy. It is almost certainly her handiwork that she can get Bitao Village. After all,
Her identity and background are laid out there.
At the same time, Li Wei also quickly learned through insinuations why the other party was so impatient and even showed his trump card early.
Because just a few days ago, Sehani Moonbow's temple located in the redwood forest and a nearby village that believed in her were destroyed by the passing demon army.
This is not a major bleeding for a weak god, but it is definitely not a wound that can be completely ignored. Her priests naturally want to make up for the loss of their gods as soon as possible.
It's okay that she didn't say it, but after she said it, Li Wei had to think more seriously. For a goddess in such a situation, it's not a bad idea to say that she is a loser among the gods, right? If he runs over, I'm afraid he will be brutally beaten.
Squeeze hard?
But the good thing is that if her divine quality is really good and she has enough power to further enhance her divine power, the rewards will be quite generous.
After all, this is a task directly received from God, and it is much better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake.
But that is what will happen in the future. Not counting heroes, the strongest enemy he has ever killed was only level 5. Things related to gods are far beyond what he can get involved with now.
Next came the vicious Ostrich Garden. Levi first tried to recruit a few of them and let them fight with the bloodthirsty jackals in the Coliseum. Then he discovered that these big guys with a height of more than 2.5 meters and vicious temperaments had great fighting capabilities.
But it is much stronger than the war geese of the same level.
Whether it was the huge claws or the equally huge and sharp beak, both had high attack power, and also had a slight armor-breaking effect. This resulted in a total of 3 competitions, all of which ended with the vicious ostrich winning.
This result was not only surprising and surprising to Li Wei and others, but even the witch Tiva was a little unable to understand it.
As a jackal, she certainly knew the fighting power of the bloodthirsty jackals. They were relatively outstanding at the same level, but she never expected that these vicious ostriches were even better.
This result also made Li Wei decide to focus on cultivating them. No matter whether they can become mounts after they advance, they will never suffer any loss.
Currently, he can recruit 18 vicious ostriches every week. Although the number is not as high as the bloodthirsty jackals, it is not too small.
The only pity is that, as chondropods, their wings have completely degraded. They can flutter occasionally and take a run-up, but there is no hope of flying.
Then there are the buildings of Guang Yakong and Gaiding Celestial Clan. They are different from ordinary buildings. They are all light gates and cover a small area. Li Wei feels that if the Fierce Ostrich Garden is a kind of god-given building, then
These light gates are essentially just portals.
And there is one thing that is different from other subordinates who are recruited normally, Guang Yakong and Gaidin Celestial Clan come with conditions.
First of all, they are only willing to fight within a ten-mile radius centered on the village, and will not launch active attacks on targets in the lawful good and lawful neutral camps.
After learning about it, Donna felt very angry. These were not subordinates at all. They were clearly garrisons sent by friendly forces to assist in the defense!
In fact, Li Wei thinks so too, because not only are their recruitment fees very cheap, but they also don’t need maintenance fees. They only need to provide daily accommodation and supplies for free. At the same time, all the proceeds from the battle will be handed over to Li Wei and the village. Isn’t this just
Helping the Defense Force?
But unlike Donna who was very angry, he was actually very happy, not only because they were really cheap, but also because the village now needed reliable defenders.
What's more, a radius of ten miles is not too small. Whether it is a valley, a river beach or a forest in the north, it can be completely taken care of.
Even the threat of the undead in the south can be handed over to them. Where can ordinary God-chosen heroes find such a good thing?
Of course, the most important point was that the Wolf Patroller, who was most familiar with him and had the most forthright personality, revealed that the reason why they have these conditions now is entirely because they are afraid of entrusting someone to someone else.
Because in the past, there were some mages who pretended to be good people in front of them at first and deceived them, but then quickly used them to do evil and discredit the Gaidin Celestial Clan.
Therefore, in order to avoid making the same mistake again, the Gaidin Heavenly Clan became much more cautious after that. Whether summoning or recruiting, they needed to take into account the opponent's camp, even faction and race.
Of course, the Wolf Patrol himself highly recognized Li Wei. He had followed Li Wei in many battles against evil forces. He also believed in Li Wei's character that he would never do such a thing.
.
After listening to this, Li Wei felt that it was because his reputation level was not enough. What kind of problem was this? Kill more demons and other enemies every day, and it is estimated that the other party will change their attitude towards him again soon.
So Levi appeased Donna and happily accepted these conditions, which made many of the more honest and honest Mastiffs Akons feel embarrassed.
In contrast, the Shuiyakongs are not so serious. They were truly recruited by Li Wei, and they have no objection no matter who they kill.
Among them, the 2nd-level ones of Light Archon and Water Archon can each recruit 10 people per week. The 3rd-level ones, like the Wolf Patrollers and Mastiff-headed Archons, can each recruit 6 people per week. They are quite good in this regard.
Be extremely consistent.
Coupled with the blueprints provided by Tiva, Levi can now recruit hundreds of subordinates from the village every week.
The other Yakon and Gaidin clansmen probably haven't been in contact with Li Wei long enough, or they haven't fought side by side often enough, because they haven't given him permission in this regard for the time being, and Li Wei doesn't care too much, it's just the length of time.
Just a problem.
At the same time, he also began to continuously explore the situation around the village.
There are no surprises in the valley. The open-pit mine there is really just a few shallow layers. It is estimated that if the villagers work hard, they may be able to completely dig it out in less than a month.
But Levi felt that after that, the true value of the valley would gradually be reflected, because he could use some magic such as turning fossils into mud to change the terrain of the valley, and then build some buildings inside to develop into another safer place.
garrison location.
Bitao Village is still some distance away from the valley, river or forest, and there is almost no danger around it. It is most suitable for a commercial village. In the future, he can put the real core buildings in the valley.
As long as the only entrance is guarded, even if the enemy has several times the strength, it will be difficult to capture it easily.
The only thing that needs to be vigilant is probably that the enemy's air force directly takes advantage of it. This is really difficult to solve. In addition to using the air force to defend, or suppressing it with arrows, Li Wei has only found out about three other types of enemies.
The best solution.
The first is to set up a large-scale no-fly barrier. It is said that the most advanced barrier can even make giant dragons fight on foot, greatly reducing the threat.
Of course, this thing is basically the same as the legend. There is not even the Black Castle before the fall. The Dragon Prince cannot get it, or is not willing to build it. It is almost impossible for him now.
The second method is relatively easy, that is to directly seal the top of a city or village with protective magic. Unless the protection is broken, you will naturally not be able to fly in.
It's a pity that this is only relatively easy. Not to mention how much it costs, Levi is not luxurious enough to use them in a small village.
The last option seems to be more feasible, which is to recruit some wind-attribute magicians.
They have a magic called sky turbulence, which can directly disturb the air, making it difficult for flying troops to maintain balance, and may even fall to the ground directly, becoming a living target.
Levi has asked the Sun Knights and Lightcasters, but there is little hope in the short term.
Because since many mage-chosen heroes have shown strong combat effectiveness, the importance of the mage-chosen heroes from other professions has also skyrocketed, and they are not so easy to recruit.
Compared with the valley here, the river beach to the west is much richer. After building the pearl oyster farm, the fishermen quickly started work smoothly and harvested a lot every day.
In addition to ordinary white pearls, there are occasionally a very small number of black pearls and red pearls. Although the river is mostly filled with mussels, probably because it leads directly to the sea, there are occasionally some rare species that come over, but the number is
There is no guarantee.
Li Wei checked the information he collected, and was very pleased to find that if this situation continued, he would be able to earn at least several gold coins every day just by selling pearls.
Then the fishermen also occasionally went fishing and so on, but Li Wei didn't pay much attention to these. Except for part of the supply for him and Donna, Tiva's direct troops and the group of beasts, the rest was distributed directly to the villagers.
, used to attract people's hearts.
Although the system did not give any prompts about this, he could still feel an extremely obvious change in the villagers' attitudes and expressions towards him, which was indeed useful.
Although they have hardly left the village for a few miles in their lives and have no cultural knowledge, they are not fools after all.
Then there is a wooden bridge that connects to the other side of the river. There are several small villages within ten miles over there. The original village chief is usually willing to do small business and barter with them.
When Li Wei discovered those villages, his first thought was to recruit troops.
Even if the strength is not enough, the numbers must be increased, so he directly pulled out 200 level 0 militiamen, thugs, gangsters, etc. from several villages.
At this stage, other God-chosen heroes look down on them, but with the blessing of battle attributes and magic, they can definitely be sent whether they serve as a facade, go to the south to fight low-level undead, or serve as pure cannon fodder.
Come in handy, they're cheap enough anyway!
Originally, he wanted to try to trick some villagers or other miners, lumberjacks, etc. into coming over, but he failed for the time being because most of the villagers were unwilling to leave their hometowns.
He could only decide to go back and study special welfare policies to further enhance its appeal to refugees, farmers or traveling traders.
Although all villages and towns in the colony have to pay 5% of the basic tax to the Dragon Prince, so it is impossible to directly exempt it completely where the system is set up, it is still very attractive compared to other villages.
And as a hero chosen by God, he can think of more roundabout ways.
For example, policies such as giving houses directly to merchants when they settle in the village, or assigning soldiers as bodyguards to merchants, would probably also have a big effect.
Then Li Wei also roughly figured out the role of the village garrison. Simply put, as long as they are classified as the village's garrison, there is no need to consider the issue of leadership. They will obey the village chief and deputy village chief when necessary.
Fight with the garrison officer's orders, and the maintenance cost will be slightly discounted.
The combat range is not very high. Based on the current level of the village, the combat radius is guaranteed to be 5 miles. After that, it will depend on the abilities of each commander.
Looking at it this way, Guang Yakong and Gaidin Celestial Clan's 10-mile range is actually even better.
But what made him a little upset was that the fishmen in the river were really annoying. Although these guys were weak, they were quite cunning, and because they were very good at swimming, they would often sneak up on people collecting pearls or other things.
Fishing, fishermen.
But fortunately, the problem is not particularly serious at the moment. Water Archons are naturally good at water fighting. Although they are not strong, they are still enough to deal with ordinary murlocs who are at most level 1 on average.
Then the Spartans also sent over 30 people. Although Li Wei didn't think much of them anymore, because their defense was so poor that they basically couldn't face a tough battle, but with the cooperation of Shuiyakong and others,
, which is enough to ensure the safety of fishermen.
At the same time, Li Wei also found out that the recent situation of the Spartans was surprisingly good.
This is probably mainly because many people around them know about their recruitment mission, so several demon attacks were coincidentally resisted with the help of the God-chosen heroes, and the village itself suffered almost no damage.
But Li Wei feels that this is just a temporary glory, because the chosen heroes will always finish their recruitment tasks and leave. At that time, the strength of your village will be reduced because some members have been recruited. If the devil takes the opportunity to attack again,
Wouldn't the outcome be even worse?
But he didn't bother to talk about these things. In addition to being proud, Spartans were also extremely stubborn. It would be a waste of time for him to talk about it. Instead, he might incur dissatisfaction from the other party. After something really happened, it would not be too late for him to make a decision.
, and the Sun Knight is also sending people over there to keep an eye on it.
There is nothing much to say about the woods in the north. They are just ordinary groves. You can get some wood by cutting down the trees there, but Levi is not planning to sell them. Instead, he piles them into a warehouse and saves them for building other new buildings in the future.
On the other side of the woods, there are two villages under the command of other aboriginal lords, but they are not rich either and are struggling to survive under the attack of demons.
What he is really interested in is actually the South.
For most aborigines, the ancient battlefield, where low-level undead are often resurrected, is undoubtedly a dangerous place, but for the God-chosen heroes, it is a blessed place because they can continue to spawn monsters and upgrade there.
!
Then not only Levi, but even Tiva excitedly ran over with a group of newly recruited jackals, wanting to see what kind of threats there were.
Then they discovered that this was not just a blessed land, but a truly valuable leveling holy land, at least for low-level soldiers and fledgling God-chosen heroes.
Because after two days of careful observation, they discovered that there were a large number of low-level undead in this narrow area of a hundred miles, and most of them were skeletons and zombies that were very easy to deal with, even if they were occasionally mixed with a few scattered ones.
The head ghost is just a low-level cannon fodder that can be solved with half a bottle of holy water.
As for the stronger ghouls, grave warriors and the like, that's not to say there are none, but they are indeed very few. They only encountered about seventy or eighty in two days.
This led to the fact that under the leadership of Levi and Donna, the original low-level militia quickly transformed into stronger volunteers, militia captains, spearmen, bandits, bandits, etc., although in Li Wei's view they were still very weak.
, but at least in front of the skeleton soldiers, they already have the basic ability to protect themselves.
This process was much smoother than when he brought the animal trainer.
At the same time, they also used actual battles to verify the power of the new battle skills they had acquired. Levi's mystical skills improved the endurance of the troops to a considerable extent, and Donna's archery skills also showed their prowess.
Its basic increase value is 2, and it can provide additional attack power according to the campaign attributes. At present, it should be calculated based on a percentage. It is currently 7%. Although the current increase is not too high, the bonus in the later period will definitely
very horrible.
It's a pity that Levi doesn't have any battle treasures on hand to improve attack. It's currently unclear whether this skill is only effective for Donna's own battle attributes, or whether it also applies to equipment bonuses. But in any case, this battle skill has a very high
Potential, after all, it is only at the elementary level now!
Tiva also took the bunch of animals out to conduct reconnaissance from another direction. As a hero with a lot of combat experience, as long as she has enough troops, she can take charge alone.
After using the protective stone skin for assistance, she brought most of them to advanced levels in two days, turning into level 2 ferocious ostriches and mutated bloodthirsty jackals. Their strength was greatly improved, and the other jackals were
People also gained a lot.
At the same time, the witch Tiva was also very happy to congratulate Li Wei. The level 2 ferocious ostriches can already be used as mounts, and if you think about it, you will know that their value is definitely much higher than the ordinary little donkeys in the village.
Even if each head is calculated as 2 gold coins, the village can recruit 18 every week. If Tiva spends 2 days to bring them to level 2 and sell them, she can easily earn more than 30 gold coins.
And it is conceivable that if she is given more time, it is not impossible to upgrade all of them to level 3. The protective stone skin is too restrained for low-level enemies who can only attack with ordinary physical attacks.
Big.
As for higher levels, it will probably be more difficult in a short period of time, because once the strength gap between the two parties is large, a certain experience penalty will be incurred.
But it’s not a big problem, because Lilith’s priest reminded Li Wei before that as the abyss rifts continue to exist, the ancient battlefield may also be affected by this, resulting in more powerful undead. After all, these abyss rifts are Oka
It was opened by the powerful demon known as the King of the Undead.
At that time, as soon as the level of the undead increases, Tiva can just lead the troops there again to practice leveling. Even if the abyss rift is powerful enough, maybe Levi and Donna will join in.
The only problem now is probably that these undead appear in uncertain places and at uncertain times, and they may appear in small groups, or they may appear in hundreds at once, or they may suddenly pop out from under some corpse.
Although because they are truly brainless low-level undead, they will not engage in ambushes or anything like that. At most, they will only give them a little fright, but they can still be considered a potential threat.
But Li Wei believed that as long as he observed more often, he would definitely find patterns.
In addition, Levi also discovered some micro-resource points, such as grass that produces medicinal herbs, fruit trees with wild fruits, as well as some animal lairs, and several gathering places for goblins and kobolds. It cannot be said that they are completely worthless, but
All I can say is that it is better than nothing.
There are also three ownerless god-given buildings for wild dogs and gray wolves. Although their combat effectiveness is also very bad, Levi still occupied them immediately. Next, whether it is for the witch Tiva or the upcoming beast taming
Teachers, I think they can all play a certain value.
After another round of inspections, Li Wei was very satisfied to find that although it had only been two days, under his command, the village had quickly got on the right track, thanks to the extremely low tax rate he promised and the recognition of some outstanding people.
With the material encouragement from the villagers, they are now working very hard.
After asking Leonidas again about the quantity and quality of the fish-men killed today, Levi and Donna looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Just as he expected, there were obviously fewer and fewer high elf garrisons on many overseas islands, and there was no time to encircle and suppress the surrounding enemies, but the number of incoming murlocs was rapidly declining.
And fishermen will occasionally find some broken fish-man corpses in the river. They usually die miserably, as if they were torn apart by some beast with sharp claws and fangs, and there is rarely any blood flowing out.
.
With such obvious information, combined with the news from the fish-man Fei Shi, Li Wei was completely sure of one thing, the "fish" had taken the bait!
Fortunately, he didn't wait all the time. In addition to sending an urging message to the Sun Knight, he also sent Rissadilan back to Ashridge Town to ask for help from Reiner.
I believe that whether it is Rissadilan's gratitude to him or the sake of the flaming war goose that he gave him, he will definitely do his best.
Coupled with the respect that Reiner showed for him before and the importance of this matter itself, it can be said that unless Ash Ridge Town is under siege, reinforcements will definitely arrive. Now it depends on when the fish will actually take the bait.
Already.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a sudden burst of smoke and dust in the distance, and then hundreds of guys dressed in red and riding skinny horses galloped towards him. He suddenly knew that his plan had been completed again.
piece.
He immediately laughed: "Let's go and meet our friends!"
The work has been updated, thank you all for your votes~
