Levi immediately looked at the light caster: "Has there been a similar situation before?"
The Lightcaster shook his head hurriedly: "I don't know, because we have never attacked here before. Only the aborigines have officially attacked the Black Castle, but they never told us about such a thing."
Master next to him also echoed: "That's right, Levi, the demons in the nearby plains were very dense at the beginning. If it weren't for the indigenous people who kept in touch and led us to carry out encirclement and suppression, we wouldn't have been able to get here at all."
"Is that so? Then maybe they have measures to deal with it."
Before Levi finished speaking, he heard a large-scale magic message: "No need to panic, as long as the fire resistance reaches 5, you can be immune to this effect!"
The lightcaster suddenly grinned: "It's easy to say, but ordinary low-level soldiers have no magic resistance at all!"
If you are fighting in a team of ten or twenty people, even if you are in such a negative state, it is actually not a big problem and you can always find a way to overcome it.
But now in this kind of large-scale battle, each God-chosen hero often has hundreds of subordinates under his command. Not to mention whether the magic value is enough, there are simply not enough mages who can cast magic so frequently and take good care of all the subordinates.
!
Moreover, he still has doubts. Now that he is nearly ten miles away from the Black Fort, he already has this negative state. If he really gets closer to the Black Fort, will this effect be strengthened?
He has long heard that the demons are trying to transform Black Castle into a city that truly belongs to them and has the characteristics of the bottomless abyss!
In contrast, the expression of Master next to him is much more relaxed, not only because their Arcane Temple has many mages, but also because the main members of their team are all golems, who are directly immune to this negative effect.
of.
In normal times, many of his younger brothers had complained to him about the weaknesses of the golems, and they had wavered more than once as to whether they should rely so much on the golems in combat, but now he was glad that he had persisted until now.
"Levi, do you want us to help?"
Li Wei glanced at the light caster, and when he saw the other party nodded slightly, he smiled and said: "Okay, I'll trouble you, we will definitely make some compensation afterwards, but I think the aboriginal people may have already felt this.
Already prepared."
He was not too nervous, not only because he had judged this from various signs, but also because he recognized that the female voice in the magic transmission just now was none other than the mage Michaela, who had a good relationship with him.
If she was prepared, she would be taken care of if she took the initiative to catch up.
And in the final analysis, the aboriginal people brought many God-chosen heroes here to let them participate in the battle, not to let them come for sightseeing. How can they be allowed to retreat easily just because of this small setback?
Master also heard something interesting, and he had witnessed the intimate conversation between Levi and Mikaela before, so he tentatively asked: "Then let's go and meet with the aborigines.
and?"
Levi nodded slightly: "Yes, let's cast a spell for protection first, and then let's see what happens."
Guessing is just a guess, he still has to see the specific situation with his own eyes. He had seen Mikaela's location before, but it was just because she was commanding the troops with a dozen other heroes at the time, so he didn't join in.
past.
Master nodded and immediately gave the order, so many mages began to cast spells and filled bottle after bottle of magic potions.
Levi also started to cast spells, but the main target was the long-range troops in the team, because all the Silver Guards had magic resistance, and elite subordinates like Cindy also had magic resistance that increased more or less.
Or fire-resistant equipment, don’t worry about being affected.
But the other God-chosen heroes had their own thoughts, and many of them took the initiative to evacuate due to pressure.
The aborigines did not take any action, which made Li Wei feel very interesting.
The aborigines definitely need these forces, even if they are used as cannon fodder, but they do not dissuade them. Is this because they are selecting the most reliable people, or do they also want to retain some of their vitality?
After casting magic dozens of times, and seeing that many of his subordinates were still not taken care of, Levi suddenly laughed. Maybe he didn't need to go to Mikaela.
Because he saw that some quartermasters had arrived one after another, and they were shouting loudly from a distance, claiming that they could provide consumable potions and magic scrolls that improved fire resistance, and these things would be used after the battle.
Only then will a certain amount of money be charged, or military merit points be directly used to offset it.
The lightcaster couldn't help but cursed secretly: "Damn, why did they go there earlier? Half of them are gone now!"
"Perhaps, they were not sure whether it was enough before?"
Even so, they still took the initiative to greet them one after another, and everyone asked for a lot.
Levi took a few glances and found that these potions had similar effects to the fire-proof potions he had obtained before, except that they lasted much longer.
The effect of those scrolls is slightly weaker, but they can be used on a wide range of friendly forces. With them, you basically don't have to worry about being affected by negative statuses.
For a time, everyone's morale was lifted, and they once again followed the indigenous people and marched towards Black Castle.
As they continued to advance, they began to encounter various attacks along the way. At first, the undead suddenly emerged from the earth or the magic circle, and then there were a large number of Quasai demons, mixed with a small number of cavalry demons.
Falling from the sky.
Although the high elves had aerial combat beasts such as giant eagles and griffons with their army, and the wood elves also had some giant eagles and giant eagle mounted archers, in comparison, their numbers were too small and they could not intercept them at all.
But this time their background was revealed.
Priests from many temples took action one after another, and the sacred light burst out, making it look a bit dazzling even in the daytime.
Then there are the mages of various types, especially the two types of magic, wind and thunder. Almost every move can kill a dozen or even dozens of Quasai demons.
And one thing I have to admit is that the bonuses given by many indigenous heroes to their respective units seem a bit too powerful.
Even seemingly ordinary level 2 spearmen (with shields) can fight against level 4 cavalry demons. At least from Li Wei's point of view, the aboriginal troops suffered almost no casualties along the way.
In comparison, the average strength is relatively weak, and there are not so many powerful priests and mages among the divinely chosen heroes, so losses are inevitable. Even Li Wei and the others are beginning to suffer battle losses.
There is no way. Although they are stronger and their troops can complement each other better, no one can be sure where those magic circles that can teleport the undead will appear.
If it's on the front, it's okay, but if it's fired directly in the center of the long-range troops, it'll be bad luck.
Two young men in the guild encountered such an unfortunate thing, causing all the long-range units to be killed on the spot. This made their mood instantly hit the bottom, because they all knew that even if they could successfully capture the Black Castle this time,
, it will be difficult for them to make up for their losses.
If the indigenous people fall short in the end, they will pay the compensation directly to their grandma's house.
The only good thing is that the demons don't seem to be able to accurately control the locations where these magic arrays appear. And as they continue to approach the Black Castle, the frequency of the magic arrays begins to decrease sharply, and the opponent seems to have almost exhausted their own means.
.
But when looking at the flaming castle from a distance, Levi felt that he might need to give it a new name. Where was the Black Castle? It was clearly a red fire castle!
Compared to Ash Ridge Town, Black Castle's defense facilities are more complete. In addition to the five- to six-meter-high city walls, hundreds of arrow towers, and thousands of demons waiting in full formation, the most conspicuous thing is
Its five to six meter wide moat is filled with boiling magma.
If the high elves launch an attack, they will first try to fill in the moat, and then face the three huge city gates that are red-black in color and constantly emit magical light.
Then the inside is like a pyramid, with two layers of walls that are slightly shorter but still have protective power. In the center and highest area is the crimson castle.
Ash Ridge Town is a town with hundreds of thousands of residents and covers a very large area.
The area of Black Fort is much smaller, but it is a solid fortress that truly exists for war.
Then, among the dense dark clouds in the distance, there were several spherical objects with a diameter of several hundred meters, which were beholder-shaped aerial castles that had appeared briefly before.
Although they themselves do not appear to be offensive in any way, no one knows how many demon armies there are inside, waiting to join the battlefield at any time. They and the armies inside them are the core area of the Black Castle.
After seeing this clearly, the Lightcasters and others made sounds of surprise and admiration, but then they frowned because they really couldn't figure out how the high elves could conquer such a well-defended fortress.
What are these God-chosen heroes even here for?
Even if the magma can be settled, ordinary low-level soldiers cannot jump up the 6-meter-high city wall!
Is it possible that you just want to use their long-range troops?
But at least those arrow towers must be dismantled first, otherwise any troops will be bombarded by thousands of fireballs.
Even Li Wei was a little confused about what kind of medicine the aborigines were selling in their gourds. Could it be that they spent so much effort just to force out the hidden power of the undead in disguise?
Is it really necessary to go to such great lengths? Moreover, the mission he took on is still there, which shows that not all the undead backers have been lured out.
But no matter how many doubts they had in their hearts, the aborigines had already stayed outside the maximum shooting range of the opponent's arrow tower, and began to prepare for war. For a while, various magic lights shone non-stop, which was because they were applying auxiliary magic to the troops.
.
The Speeder Artillery Team, which was hired and carefully protected along the way, began to debug nervously.
Next to them are hundreds of ballistae of the high elves. Although they are not as powerful as artillery, they are more numerous.
At this moment, a black-red light suddenly flashed from the top Black Castle. Levi couldn't help grinning. Since the war started today, every time he saw this special light, he was absolutely stunned.
Nothing good happens!
Sure enough, a few seconds later, when the light spread to them, the system prompted that the fiery field exerted by the demons had been temporarily strengthened. Now, at least 10 points of fire resistance were needed to ignore the enchantment effect brought by the magic.
.
Now, except for Levi himself, everyone including Donna, Cindy, and the Silver Light Guards, who were good at magic resistance, all began to lose their health points.
Although the amount is not high, especially after the magic scroll is applied, ordinary archers will only lose about 20 points per minute, which is not as much damage as being slashed by the enemy.
But now this magic covers tens of thousands of troops, and the added damage per minute is too terrifying.
The longer the delay is, the more serious our losses will be.
No wonder the high elves failed to recapture the Black Castle for so many days. They had to endure such pressure just standing outside the Black Castle.
The demons choose to strengthen the effect of the fiery field at this time, in order to force themselves to make a choice, either to launch an attack as soon as possible, or to retreat quickly!
Just as Li Wei was busy casting new protective magic for his subordinates, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and he saw several carriages carrying dozens of priests, rushing straight towards his location.
Looking at the various patterns and symbols on their bodies, they clearly come from Lilith and Moonbow Temple.
He couldn't help laughing immediately, and he roughly understood what the other party meant. They must be worried that their troops would not be able to survive, so they came here to help.
Although their respective gods are very weak, they can still remember themselves when they encounter troubles. For this reason, they must cooperate with each other more in the future!
As expected, the priests quickly said that they were here to treat and assist Li Wei and others.
The quantity of arson medicine prepared by the army is still a little low. Now there is no excess to provide to the chosen heroes, so they can only resist.
Li Wei naturally expressed his gratitude immediately, and then he raised his own question, does the acting lord have any trump cards this time?
Does she really think that the current army is enough to capture Black Castle?
And the army is already here, it seems like she and her dragon haven't shown up yet, right?
Unfortunately, the pastors just shook their heads, indicating that they did not know clearly.
Although the temple is sending troops together with the lord's army this time, the two sides are not subordinate to each other. They have absolute freedom to choose who to assist in the battle. Similarly, the acting lord will only tell them the general battle plan, not
Teach him all his secrets.
Soon with the roar of artillery, the Speeder Artillery Team took the lead in launching the attack, and then many ballistae followed. As war instruments, their range was longer than that of ordinary archers, or those in the arrow tower of Black Castle.
Gems, it's much further.
Not to mention, their power is also quite good. With just one shot, all the demons on a certain city wall were cleared cleanly.
For a moment, all the chosen heroes who saw this scene couldn't help but have some thoughts, even Levi was no exception.
Although the attack intervals of war instruments are very long, in this special situation, the power they exert is unmatched by ordinary archers. The range alone occupies a very large advantage. Do the aborigines want
Relying on this trick to break into the Black Castle?
Soon it turned out that the aborigines did seem to have this idea, because during the second round of bombing, they actually changed the target and began to attack those arrow towers. As a result, dozens more arrow towers were blown down, and many of them were destroyed.
Many Gog and Magog were beaten to death.
After several rounds of bombings, the demons in the Black Castle finally couldn't sit still. Although there were a lot of demons, within a few minutes of the battle, they had killed thousands of mid-level demons, while the opponent only lost some ammunition.
That’s all, how can they endure this?
And if they don't take some measures, I'm afraid the enemy will be able to demolish all their own arrow towers with just war equipment!
Then, with a roar and a flash of fire, about twenty evil-looking guys appeared together in an open space on the city wall.
After seeing the other party's face clearly, Levi couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although most of the enemies were unfamiliar to him, he happened to know two female demons among them, because one of them was Names who had tried to besiege the Lilith Temple before, and the other was the demon Maris who had just been killed by him.
Less than half a day later, she was resurrected again. Whether it was due to the sacrificial ceremony or other reasons, the information contained in it was too shocking.
At this time, the lightcaster next to him couldn't help shouting: "Levi, look at that guy, it's Hogg!"
Following the direction of his finger, Levi also quickly discovered a five to six meter tall jackal with muscles and ferocious bone spurs all over his body. Compared to ordinary jackals, it was many times stronger.
But despite this, neither Hogg nor the two female demons seem to be the leaders of these demons. What is really special is a male demon standing alone in the front row.
At first glance, he looks like a gentle man with a beard. His clothes are exactly the same as those of humans, except that his skin color is a little red and he has a pair of devil horns on his forehead.
"Good day, I am the leader of this place, the demon hero from the 113th floor of the Abyss - Sellon."
Even though the artillery and ballistae did not stop, he issued a polite greeting like a gentleman, obviously having a completely different upbringing than most demons.
But at this time, no one thought he was really kind. Soon a male high elf dressed as a general emerged from the crowd and said disdainfully: "So, you despicable and shameless devil, are you here to surrender?"
Upon hearing these words, Lightcaster, Master and the others laughed in unison. Sure enough, the high elves were so unkind, even in the face of such a powerful demon, he was not honest.
Not far away, Lisa Dilan couldn't help but snorted coldly. Levi immediately knew that it was probably this general who had dealt with him before.
In fact, he has inquired through many channels. This general may be a little too harsh in dealing with him, but in normal times, whether internally or externally, this senior man named Isdir
Elf generals can definitely be called wise and decisive.
Moreover, he also made great contributions to the development and expansion of the colony, without any black spots at all.
Faced with this kind of existence, forget about any crooked ways. What Rissadilan and himself can do is to climb up step by step, and finally defeat the opponent openly and honestly with their strength.
Facing the provocation of General Isdir, the demon commander named Sellon suddenly became angry. He felt that he had been very polite, but he did not expect that these high elves would dare to be so provocative!
"Damn elves, in this case, you must pay the price for your arrogance and stupidity!"
The demon leader Sellon roared angrily, and began to cast spells quickly. At the same time, the interior of the black castle in the distance also lit up with a black-red light, which instantly made his spell casting speed significantly increase.
So within a few seconds, he raised his hand to summon a large red cloud covering an unknown number of thousands of square meters, and then slowly floated towards the high elf army formation.
"Haha, come and try my Cloud Burning Technique!"
Although it looks very beautiful, many high elves feel like they are facing a formidable enemy. They are shouting and taking action because Burning Cloud is a powerful magic up to level 9. Once it succeeds, they will probably lose a lot.
Lots of troops!
As a result, various magical rays of light shone continuously, but the most powerful one came from the legendary hero of the Wood Elves - the Star of Destruction.
I saw him slightly struggling to dance his spear, and dozens of amber-like energy spears flew straight into the sky, forming a series of violent explosions.
After receiving such a heavy blow, coupled with other people's magic, the Burning Cloud Technique was forcibly stopped before it could float very far.
Although he already knew the power of the opponent's semi-artifact spear, when he actually saw this scene, the demon leader was still so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.
Although he looked very relaxed, how could he cast such a powerful magic so quickly without any cost?
Seeing that the other party's eyes had gradually turned towards him, he immediately waved his claws slightly angrily and panicked: "Come out, my undead army!"
As he roared, more than twenty giant beasts with a length of tens of meters and pale white bodies gradually rose into the sky in the black castle. Among them, there were also five or six alien beings with translucent bodies, which were level 6
The bone dragon and the 7th level ghost dragon!
As soon as they saw their figures, many high elves couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation. They wished they could rush into the city themselves and kill them, because these giant beasts were transformed by demons who desecrated the dragon cemetery in the Black Castle.
of!
In contrast, the hundreds of vampires following them were holding long swords, wearing cloaks, and had muscles all over their bodies. Their bodies were enlarged by several percent, and they looked obviously mutated, as well as a larger number of vampires.
The giant dire bats are no longer so eye-catching.
After all, everyone now knows that whether they cooperate with each other or are enslaved by powerful forces, the undead have chosen to serve the demons in this battle.
As for the demons who look down on the power of ordinary vampires, it is completely understandable to provide them with some enhancements that have serious side effects.
At this moment, beyond the expectation of many people, several dragon roars were heard from the high elves formation.
As the illusion was shattered, the golden-red dragon that Li Wei had seen before rose into the sky with two smaller copper dragons and three smaller silver dragons, constantly heading towards those
The bone dragons roared angrily.
Even if they don't understand the language of the dragons, everyone can see their anger, just like ordinary humans facing the skeletons and zombies of the undead.
And the female mage standing on the back of the leading dragon is not the acting lord Princess Belinda, who else could it be?
There were also hundreds of Skyslayer airships pulled by giant eagles, carrying ballistas and a dozen elite warriors, as well as forty or fifty cavalry riding griffins, approaching quickly from a distance.
Only then did Levi suddenly realize that he had always thought that the acting lord was not accompanying him, but was waiting to appear at a critical moment. But now it seems that she was actually always there, but she just used some kind of magic to cover herself up.
It just exists!
Then, as the illusion was shattered, the appearance of many units in the aboriginal formation underwent earth-shaking changes.
Even if they couldn't all recognize their specific arms and classes for a while, everyone could be completely sure that they were weapons and equipment that were many times more gorgeous and that were constantly emitting magical light.
The strength will definitely be extremely powerful!
Master next to him suddenly laughed: "Hey, Pure Mane White Lion Guards, Gavin Knights, White Lion Ax Knights, Sky Slayer Airship, Phoenix Guard, Hoth Sword Master, Dragon Prince Cavalry"
"There are so many powerful units that are rarely seen in ordinary times, but they are disguised as the lowest-level spearmen and archers. No wonder they have hardly reduced their numbers along the way. Their true strength is amazing!"
Just like Levi, he has actually noticed this unusual situation. He originally thought that the various bonuses of those heroic units were too exaggerated, but now it seems that it is not the case at all!
The light caster couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, if those guys who have given up see this scene, they will probably regret it and vomit blood, right?"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and the air was filled with joy for a while. They were all glad that they had made the right choice, so they were qualified to laugh at those idiots.
But Li Wei did not participate in it. He just looked at the Dragon Prince cavalry unit in the distance with men and horses in great surprise. Their armors were all blue, and the shields on their left hands were also decorated with dragon patterns.
That figure was not unfamiliar to him.
"Lisa Dilan, you know."
Before he finished speaking, Lisa Dilan was already shaking his head slightly excitedly: "No, I didn't know that Reiner also secretly participated in the war!"
That's right, the leader of this Dragon Prince Cavalry is Reiner, who claims to be fighting on the front line against the Greenskins!
For today's battle, the aborigines have obviously made a lot of preparations. In order to succeed, they not only deceived the devil, but even hid it from their own people. If they didn't succeed, who else could succeed?
However, I didn't see the strange guy surrounded by green flames.
Thinking of this, Li Wei suddenly asked: "Risa Dilan, what are the Dragon Prince's cavalry best at?"
"It's the charge, as well as the strong resistance to flames. The armors of them and their mounts are all forged in the volcano and strengthened by magic!"
"Is that so? It's obviously a siege, but so many cavalry are sent out, and there's also a lava river that serves as a moat."
Levi felt vaguely that he seemed to have touched something, but for a while he did not completely pierce the last layer of veil. However, he still got his subordinates ready for battle immediately.
On the other side, although the enemy was coming fiercely, and the artillery and ballistae continued to exert their power, destroying more arrow towers, the smile on the face of the demon commander became more and more.
"Is this the hidden power you have been accumulating all this time? I have to say, I am really disappointed!"
"Offensive, let me defeat these hateful elves. I will prove to you, Sir, that I can not only defend the Black Castle. After defeating these seemingly smart high elves, I will be able to occupy a wider land!"
As he shouted, many bone dragons and ghost dragons first let out silent roars. Under the protection of a large number of mutant vampires, they took the initiative to charge towards the lord and other giant dragons.
Then several demon heroes with the ability to fly took the initiative to take off with a large number of cavalry demons, mutant vampires and quasai demons, and launched a charge in the direction of the artillery and ballistae, with a very clear purpose.
At the same time, the smaller of the three gates of Black Castle unexpectedly opened on its own initiative.
But despite this, the high elves did not attack immediately, not only because many arrow towers still existed, but also because they could all see that there were a large number of soul-slayer demons, evil god kings and three-headed demons in the city.
Cerberus and other demons exist.
But what is more conspicuous are the more than twenty six-armed snake demons, and more special demons with arms above the knees and extremely thick and fat bodies, like a mixture of orangutans and turtles.
They are level 4 berserker demons. In addition to extremely high defense and health, they also have a stench aura that can reduce the attacks of enemies within the range. They are excellent human shields.
Of course, the largest number are the third-level horned demons. Among the stronger demon armies, they usually serve as vanguards and cannon fodder. Even if they die, they can still be used as waste and turned into sacrificial rituals.
a part of.
Then other demon heroes also took action. They each performed their duties and led a specific type or types of troops, and began to actively march outwards.
Hogg, who has been watched by Levi, Lightcaster and others, is of course one of them.
Faced with such a provocation, the native people were naturally not to be outdone, and the acting lord took the lead in shouting: "Devil, remember, it will be Belinda from the Kingdom of Caledor who takes your life today!"
As she shouted, many flying cavalry, monsters and airships also rose to higher altitudes and began to prepare to face powerful enemies.
Although they were going to fight, they also had to choose a place where they would not be disturbed by the arrow tower.
And they can be sure that the enemy will definitely follow, because if they don't stop them, they can go straight to the core area of the Black Castle in the distance!
Forget about the flying cavalry and monsters. Apart from their strong strength, their fighting methods are not surprising, but the airships slightly attracted Levi's attention.
Because they kept firing crossbows and raining arrows while keeping a distance from the enemy with all their strength, they quickly attracted many enemies away. They turned out to be like aerial cavalry-type units.
Then a slightly passionate male voice suddenly rang out: "For the sake of Mother Goddess Elsa, and for the sake of the hunting god Kunos, Aslays, attack!"
The legendary hero of the wood elves, Star of Destruction, also waved the semi-artifact spear and charged at the enemies in the sky.
Although the distance was still far away, he had already waved his weapons one after another and launched dozens of amber spears, killing a large number of enemies. The power of legendary heroes and semi-artifacts was immediately revealed.
With this shout, hundreds of giant eagles and giant eagle horse archers soared into the sky.
For a while, an extremely fierce battle took place in the sky. Almost every moment, a large number of corpses of giant bats and mutated vampires fell from the sky, occasionally mixed with some giant eagles and the knights on their backs.
Although Destruction Star is extremely powerful, he cannot protect the safety of all his subordinates.
At the same time, the lord of the time also led a multi-headed dragon and took the initiative to attack the undead who were several times his own size.
Not to mention, at this time, the gap between the living and the dead is clearly reflected.
Although the bone dragons and ghost dragons are of high level, neither their decaying dragon breath nor their pale bone claws can cause much harm to the real dragons.
On the contrary, whether it is the silver dragon or the red copper dragon, the dragon's breath breath can cause huge damage to them. Once the acting lord's mount and partner activates the breath, it can severely damage a bone dragon with almost one move.
Coupled with the magical assistance of the acting lord as a fire mage, and her command, although the number of dragons was small, they had the upper hand for a while.
But Levi didn't have much energy to continue paying attention, because the demons also took the initiative to step out of the gate of the Black Castle.
Although they have not taken the initiative to attack yet, everyone knows that when they continue to accumulate a certain amount of strength, they will definitely dare to give up the cover of the arrow tower and launch an attack on their own side.
Looking at the large number of demon heroes, everyone was a little excited, because they all knew that the rewards from killing a heroic enemy were much higher than killing ordinary soldiers.
"Levi, which enemy should we choose? Do you want to deal with Hogg?"
"Yes, Levi, although that guy is difficult to deal with, the bounty on his head is not large at all."
But Levi chuckled and shook his head: "I don't think we have much choice, because there are already two female demons targeting me."
Following his line of sight, both the Lightcaster and Master discovered that the two female demons were arranging their armies to prepare for war. The way they looked at Levi could not be called friendly at all!
