Chapter 223 Dungeon - Black Castle Attack and Defense
Chapter 223 Copy-Black Castle Attack and Defense
Soon Levi, Lightcaster and others found the mage in charge of the dungeon. According to the mage's introduction, because teleportation magic has a certain load and impact on the body of people who are not strong enough, they can only enter this dungeon every week.
3 times.
At the same time, the copy also has a number of special instructions:
First, the number of people entering in each batch shall not exceed 200;
Second, there are only three ways to exit the dungeon, which are to kill all enemies, achieve the mission objectives required for the dungeon, and voluntarily admit defeat.
If you choose the last method, the times consumed this week will not be refunded.
Thirdly, since Black Castle has changed hands several times in the past history, and many battles have taken place, after entering the dungeon, the friendly forces and enemies they encounter may come from different races, which means that every time they enter
, all have great randomness, but the system will perform a certain disguise to make them temporarily look similar to friendly forces in appearance.
Fourth, because casting teleportation magic requires a certain amount of materials, you have to pay money to enter this dungeon, and the fee is still per head.
Each subordinate is 1 silver coin. If Li Wei wants to bring 200 subordinates, the ticket price alone will cost 20 gold coins. Even if they try their best and finally clear the dungeon, they don't know if they can get their money back?
Everyone was in an uproar for a while, but soon after a few quartermasters who came over after hearing the news gave a brief explanation, Li Wei understood that it turned out that they could get discounts based on their military positions, and the discount ratio was quite high.
As long as he is a new recruit, he and his troops will receive a 30% discount. Then the discounts for veterans, sergeants, and non-commissioned officers will become higher and higher. By the time Li Wei becomes a lieutenant, it has become a 20% discount. In this way, Li Wei
Wei came in with 200 of his subordinates, but they only had 4 gold coins, which was a huge blow.
The other God-chosen heroes are also very satisfied, because after experiencing successive battles, even if they have spent part of their military merit points on equipment, skills or recruiting troops, they can basically be promoted to the level of sergeant or non-commissioned officer.
For example, the Lightcasters, who are more proficient in calculations, have successfully been promoted to lieutenants based on yesterday's battle, thus saving a lot of money on admission tickets.
However, most people still don’t quite understand why the initial price is so expensive but the discounts are so generous?
Levi had the same doubt at first, but soon he smiled and explained to the Lightcasters: "Perhaps the aborigines are very confident in this copy, so they want to make a profit from other people."
At this moment, the Lightcasters suddenly realized that indeed, the previous system prompt said that both divinely chosen heroes and indigenous people could participate, so if other races wanted to enter this dungeon, they would probably have to pay a higher price.
For example, the dwarves who are closer to here!
The lightcaster immediately shook his head. If it was just a coincidence, then that would be fine. But if it was really intentional, then the aborigines would be too targeted.
After all, dwarves cannot hold any military positions among high elves, so it is naturally impossible for them to enjoy this discount. However, they are very rich. This is true.
But no matter what, in such a short period of time after the dungeon appeared, the aborigines came up with such a plan to make a fortune, which shows that the wisdom of the person in charge cannot be underestimated.
But after saying this, Levi was stunned for a moment, because he suddenly realized a problem.
If he and Donna lead teams to enter the Dwarf Hills dungeon separately, can they enter it twice a week?
So how should this discount be calculated?
Although according to Donna's current leadership ability, the number of troops she can lead is far lower than her own, there is still a big difference between the original price and the 20% discount.
And for special beings like Risa Dilan who have not yet been truly hired by him, but are already almost inseparable teammates, what kind of rules will be followed by the Amazons on the other side?
I have confirmed that Amazons can be temporarily hired even if they are not recruited, so it stands to reason that they should also be able to enter the dungeon.
So he immediately asked about this issue, and then he found that the quartermaster and the mages looked at each other for a while, as if they had not thought about this issue at all.
Then they immediately paused the transmission, and the mage began to use the communication technique, apparently intending to ask his superiors for instructions.
Then within two minutes, a very powerful elf warrior wearing heavy armor came here, and Li Wei was no stranger to him. It was the general Yi who caused Rissadilan to end up in such a situation.
Lan Dill.
After communicating with each other for a few words, the quartermaster quickly announced that if they are indigenous heroes who have pledged their allegiance to the God-chosen heroes, they can naturally enjoy the same discount treatment. If they are in a temporary employment status like Amazon, they will be hired according to their employment status.
The discounts for God’s Chosen Heroes are halved.
For example, if Levi's is currently offering a 20% discount, then the Amazon he hired will be offering a 40% discount.
And because Li Wei pointed out this problem, when he and all the aborigines under his command enter the dungeon this month, all the expenses will be borne by the Military Supplies Department. To put it simply, he will not have to spend a single coin in the next month.
Copper coins.
When he said this, Elan Dill nodded slightly to Levi, quickly glanced at the many subordinates under his command, and then left to mind his own business.
Although many of the God-chosen heroes next to him were filled with envy and jealousy, Risa Dilan gritted his teeth so hard that he knew that the other party had seen him. After all, as a stronger subordinate, he stood there.
Behind Li Wei, the other party's gaze did not stop for a moment.
He regards the other party as an opponent and a target that needs to be surpassed. However, after the other party ruined his future, he seemed to have completely forgotten his existence. Is there any kind of humiliation that can be more cruel than this?
Levi patted Risa Dilan's shoulder lightly, but didn't say much. He just told the other person with his eyes: If you want to change this situation and make him think highly of you, try your best to become stronger.
Bar!
The surrounding God-chosen heroes were all discussing eagerly, because soon a smart man realized a problem. If he could reach some kind of agreement with the adventurers among the aboriginal people, could they take advantage of the discount and bring them with them?
What if the natives buy the copy and make a profit?
However, some people soon objected that the number of times you can enter this dungeon is limited, so instead of serving the aborigines, it is better to lead a team to defeat the dungeon by yourself. Obviously, the latter will benefit more.
After all, playing dungeons is not only for money, but also for experience points, equipment, and other special props that may exist.
But anyway, this at least provides an idea. If any unlucky guy has just been wiped out, he may be able to use this opportunity to make a profit, and then try to make a comeback.
After just a short delay, someone had already paid the money first, and then Levi immediately heard the other person shout loudly: "What? There are more difficulty options? Why do I only have easy and normal, what is the last one?"
The mage responsible for the teleportation was not angry, and just replied with the usual arrogance and calmness of the high elves: "The last one is difficult. You need to clear the normal difficulty before you can enter."
The God-chosen hero hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to choose easy difficulty first. Anyway, he had three opportunities every week, so at worst he would choose normal difficulty next time.
But if he chooses the normal difficulty directly when he comes up, if the difficulty of the dungeon is too high, he may have wasted an opportunity.
As the light flashed, he and his troops suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Li Wei, Lightcaster and others also heard the exchanges between each other and looked at each other. They all felt that it was necessary to send someone to explore the bottom first.
Especially for Levi, this issue may be even more important. After all, at present, it is difficult for other God-chosen heroes to have reliable subordinates like Donna who can take charge of their own affairs.
At this moment, Master and the others had already rushed over, and he couldn't help but be curious as he looked at the people who had gathered together but did not move.
After he figured it out, he immediately patted his chest and said generously: "Let my people go take a look first!"
Not allowing Li Wei to refuse at all, the two mages had already entered the dungeon with their respective subordinates, choosing different difficulties.
Upon seeing this, the Lightcasters were not to be outdone, and sent four of their younger brothers in at once, because the troops in their Arcane Temple were mainly composed of golems, spears, archers and magic, which was suitable for them.
Difficulty, but it is not necessarily applicable to myself and others.
Then less than a quarter of an hour later, the mage who chose the normal difficulty in the Arcane Temple ran back in disgrace, and the number of subordinates behind him was also reduced by almost a quarter.
Before they could ask questions, he complained again and again: "Boss, the randomness of this dungeon is too great. I was actually assigned to the side of the siegeers, and attacked the undead defending the city with a group of beastmen."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances. As the most typical chaotic evil race, beasts and demons are the same as everyone shouting to beat them. Not only do they have no diplomacy at all, but the strength of each class of soldiers is also not very good.
Although it is said that after the level is improved, powerful soldiers such as tauren and cyclops will appear, and Li Wei also confirmed some of them, at least at this stage, they are stronger than goblins, kobolds and the like in the wild.
points, basically equivalent to the kind of wild monsters used for leveling.
But he hasn't finished yet: "The overall strength of the undead is not particularly strong. Except for about five or six catapults on the city wall, they only have about 300 barren grave guards and twice as many cannon fodder skeleton soldiers."
"The number of beastmen on our side is obviously much smaller, less than 300, and there is basically no command. They all rush upwards. Fortunately, the walls of the Black Castle in the dungeon are not high, and they are still there.
It's less than two meters, and they can jump right over with a little effort."
"But what is very strange is that in addition to having about dozens of low-level necromancers who can resurrect skeletons as cannon fodder and impose various curses, they also hire some human crossbowmen and musketeers to help defend the city.
, How have I ever been able to fight this?"
As soon as these words came out, many people immediately laughed even more happily.
As we all know, what the undead lack in the early stage is remote output means. After all, those skeletons and zombies have no brains at all and cannot perform a series of complex actions such as drawing the bow, loading the arrow, aiming and shooting.
To put it bluntly, low-level undead are just bones and rotten flesh that have been resurrected by magic. They are far different from the Tomb Kings who have a soul in every skeleton.
But now these human mercenaries have filled in this important part. It can only be said that this guy is so unlucky that he happened to encounter such a difficult opponent.
But what's more interesting is that his troops are all disguised as beastmen inside, which seems quite strange.
Levi also laughed at first, but soon he thought of more things.
If humans can accept employment from the undead for profit, then if the profit is big enough, can they do more?
He was still doubting before that the vampires were entrenched in a small area like Silent Manor. Apart from the occasional corpses thrown to them by the dark elves, they had almost no other channels to recruit soldiers. So how did they accumulate so many vampires?
In yesterday's battle alone, at least nearly a thousand vampires were wiped out. The demons obviously wouldn't make that thing. It was probably done by the vampires who had already died at their hands and the organization behind them.
But based on this reasoning, even the black dragons of the Snake Worship Cult can develop followers in human towns, and it is very logical for the vampires to also establish a stronghold there.
After all, as long as they don't appear during the day and are covered up a little, they don't look much different from humans at first glance, except that their skin is slightly pale.
Moreover, those towns do not belong to any well-known big countries. They are also places similar to colonies established by some small human countries. There are various conflicts between them, and small-scale frictions occur from time to time. This
This gives the black dragon and vampires even more opportunities to intervene.
Unfortunately, even if he speculates on this possibility, he can't do anything for the time being, because the high elves are currently too busy to take care of themselves.
At this moment, Elegy smiled and said to Li Wei: "Sir, just after you communicated, I noticed that a few of your compatriots seemed to be eavesdropping, and then they walked over there."
"Eavesdropping?"
Levi was stunned for a moment, then followed the direction pointed by the dirge, and found that that was the core area of the Black Castle, which was currently prohibited for the chosen heroes.
He quickly asked: "Can you tell whether they are the subordinates of the God's Chosen Hero or ordinary aborigines?"
Elegy pondered for a moment: "Their clothes are somewhat similar to shadow warriors, but they don't have bows and arrows. They should be agile swordsmen or assassins. I have not seen them among other teams of God's Chosen Heroes for the time being.
Similar attire."
"That's it"
Levi thought about it for a moment, and figured out that the other party should be a special type of military from the Kingdom of Nagaries. They were rich in this type, but why did they want to eavesdrop?
Is it possible that they are collecting intelligence? Maybe the aborigines do not fully understand the things in this copy?
However, this had little to do with him. After scanning a few times and finding no aboriginals dressed similarly, Li Wei nodded to Elegy: "Thank you, you did a good job this time."
He is obviously a violent damage-prone warrior, but he still has such keen insight. He is indeed a person valued by the goddess.
Elegy smiled and did not respond. Instead, she continued to chat with Donna. They had been separated for several years, and had been separated by life and death. Now that they were reunited, they had endless secrets to talk about, and she also had a lot of otherworldly experiences.
Want to share it with others.
Levi didn't take it too seriously, and within a few minutes, two younger brothers from the guild reappeared in the magic circle, but their expressions and the results of the battle were completely different.
One is to challenge the normal difficulty, where you have to fight side by side with the dwarves against the greenskins who came to attack the city several times. In the end, you had no choice but to defeat, but you also gained a lot of experience points and a lot of trophies from the greenskins in the process. In short, although you didn't make any money.
It's not much, but it's definitely not a loss.
The other one is on easy difficulty, where you fight against the murloc invasion with humans.
There is nothing more to say. Although there are many opponents, most of them are miscellaneous soldiers. Moreover, after the fishmen leave the water, their own combat effectiveness will be reduced.
In addition, although the number of humans defending the city was not large, they were a combination of halberdiers and musketeers, and they also had several artillery pieces. They successfully killed all the opponents and gained a lot of experience points and loot.
Roughly speaking, even if the ticket cost to enter the dungeon is deducted, you can still earn about 10 gold coins. The explosion rate of this dungeon is still very high.
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but get excited. If this is the case, then even if you just clear the easy difficulty dungeon three times a week, you can steadily gain about 30 gold coins. This is for the ordinary God-chosen heroes at this stage.
It's really quite a temptation.
From this point of view, although the charging standards of the aborigines are a bit high, as long as they can successfully pass the customs, they will definitely make a profit without losing any money.
And people with stronger abilities will obviously challenge the normal difficulty or even the difficult difficulty, trying to win more loot, and naturally earn more.
Presumably after a period of fermentation, the God-chosen heroes and aborigines from other races around will also come one after another and willingly offer gold coins.
From now on, this will become a long-term and stable income for Black Castle, and the amount will definitely not be low. It can generate at least hundreds or thousands of gold coins every day. Even for the aborigines, this is definitely not a small amount of money that can be ignored.
Already.
After confirming the approximate number and class of enemies with several people who had entered the dungeon once again, Li Wei frowned a little.
He originally planned to let him and Donna lead the team separately and fight three dungeons each, but now it seems that after they are separated, if they are not lucky, they may not be able to fight.
The main reason is that the enemies we face are too random. The few guys who came out have never encountered the same enemies or teammates in the dungeon. I don’t know how many races have occupied Black Castle.
.
And the quality of the troops is not bad either. There are level 5 troops in the normal difficulty, and there are more than one. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to encounter heroic units.
However, if it is just a simple difficulty, the witches Tiva and Leonidas who are still in Bitao Village should be able to pass it relatively smoothly. It seems that if there is a chance, they can also try it.
It's just that the land route takes a little longer. We'll go back to Ash Ridge Town to see where we should be able to hire a boat.
After finally discussing it with Donna, Levi decided to give it a try, so they divided their troops into two groups.
In addition to Zhou Miyin, Simon and the Elephant Man Bayoru who continued to follow him, many other named subordinates, as well as the Avalon sisters, some devout priests, plus the most elite Sky Eagle Marksmen and Silver Guards
, all in a group with Donna.
Especially Elegy, Cindy and Rissa Dilan, their combat effectiveness is still very reliable.
Then the remaining archer troops, Caledor Sentinels, Silver Guards, MOA Cavalry Archers, Silver Helmet Knights and other cavalry all joined him.
Donna's side is going for elites, while Levi's side is going for numbers, plus the assistance of magic and many summoned creatures. Although there is a big difference in the number of people, the combat effectiveness of both sides should not be weak.
You can try to challenge the normal difficulty.
If you can pass the level smoothly, it will be better. If you can't, then you will have to challenge them together again.
In fact, Li Wei originally planned to call in some more foreign aid to enhance his success rate, but before he could leave, he discovered that the three Amazon sisters had already arrived with a large number of subordinates, and they happily paid the money.
, even entered the copy one step ahead of Levi.
He immediately knew that his plan had failed, and the aborigines were not fools.
Especially when it comes to heroic units at the level of Anaconda and the others, even though they appear to be somewhat deficient in many aspects due to experience and experience, he can clearly feel that they have grown rapidly in just a few days.
A lot, maybe this is the reason why their goddess let them out.
As he was queuing up to enter the dungeon, he saw something that surprised him. An acquaintance of his, the mage Michaela, also came here.
Moreover, she is not alone, but is carrying a large number of elite troops, so her purpose is already very clear, she also wants to enter the dungeon.
When coupled with what was just mentioned in the elegy, everything becomes logical. Apparently the aborigines quickly realized the true value of the copy and wanted to truly participate in it and confirm it for themselves.
Because if the facts are true, with dozens of heroes and thousands of elite troops, it will obviously be much easier for them to clear the dungeon than ordinary God-chosen heroes.
Compared with the troops led by many divinely chosen heroes, the several types of troops following her were obviously much more elite.
Of course, there is no need to say more about the Avalon sisters. Although Li Wei has only a few under his command, their abilities are so outstanding that they completely overwhelm other ordinary shooters.
Then there were some white lion warriors holding two-handed battle axes, wearing scale armor and covered with white lion fur. They were the fourth-level warriors among the high elves who were one of the few soldiers who used battle axes as weapons.
It is said that they from the Kingdom of Charis are particularly good at forest warfare, and are often used as bodyguards for many princes and princesses in the ten kingdoms.
The second type wears gorgeous armor and has a two-handed sword that can almost reach the height of the bridge of his nose even if it is standing on the ground. He is the fifth-level soldier, the Sword Master of Hess.
Heavy blows, sweeps, cleavage, and archery skills are all their special skills. Some of them are probably their advanced arms. They can spin the two-handed sword like a small spinning top.
Non-stop, a solid infantry killer.
Li Wei saw with his own eyes yesterday that several sword masters joined forces and cut into pieces a level 6, six-armed snake demon in less than half a minute. The big sword seemed to be completely weightless in their hands.
For a moment, the swing speed was even faster than the six-armed snake demon's long sword.
Although this may have something to do with the bonus given to them by the aboriginal heroes, there is absolutely nothing to say about their own strength.
One is known as the six-armed sword master, and the other has the word sword master in the name of his own military unit. Both of them are by no means ordinary.
The last special type of soldier wears dark golden armor, and the cloak on the back is embroidered with a flying fire phoenix. The shape of the helmet is also very similar to that of a phoenix, with two very exaggerated large wings on the left and right.
But the most special thing is the weapon in their hands. It is something similar to a combination of a halberd and an ax gun. It looks heavy and powerful. With one move, ordinary enemies will be cut into two directly.
Cut off.
They are the Phoenix Guards, a level 5 unit. Based on Levi's inference, they should be the best at fighting large units, and have extremely high physical defense and magic resistance.
Because in previous battles, they had single-handedly challenged the soul-stricken demons who were also at level 5. No matter whether the opponent's physical attacks or special abilities were used, they could not cause much damage to them. Even two Phoenix guards could join forces to defeat them.
It takes less than ten seconds to kill a soul-diagnosing demon, which is surprisingly efficient.
Then there were a few aerial beasts such as giant eagles and griffons, probably used for air defense.
Finally, there were two teams of silver-helmeted knights and several ballistae. It was obvious that Michaela was very well prepared this time.
After looking at the opponent's lineup, Levi felt that he still had a long way to go in the future, and he didn't know how much time it would take him to get the same lineup.
Just as he was sighing, Levi finally arrived in line. He waved his hands to Donna, Elegy and others behind him: "I'll go first, and you all should come together and cheer together!"
Donna nodded nonchalantly. If those chosen heroes hadn't lied, with their current luxurious lineup, it would be almost impossible for them to lose, especially since she was fighting side by side with her sister Elegy.
!
As the light flickered, Levi immediately found himself on the city wall, and a few hundred meters in front, beyond the maximum range of the ballista, were some square faces covered in green. Who else could they be if they weren't green-skinned orcs?
?
There are quite a lot of them. Looking at it, there are at least seven or eight hundred green-skinned boys, more than two hundred green-skinned big guys, and over a hundred green-skinned boar boys. The total number is over a thousand. It can be said that just by looking at it,
With these troops, I'm afraid it won't take more than a quarter of an hour to defeat an ordinary novice village.
In the most central area, there are thirty or fifty fat and ugly river trolls, as well as a few big guys who are green and black and are larger than ordinary green-skinned ones. They are the elite of the green-skinned troops.
, a level 5 black orc.
Not only are they stronger than ordinary green skins, but more importantly, they all have a certain degree of military literacy, and they no longer allow themselves to be dominated by chaotic nature like ordinary green skins. They strictly abide by order and are the best choice for almost all green skins.
The most favored guard or low-level commander among leather heroes.
One look at this lineup, and then at the ordinary greenskins who were busy building simple rams and ladders, Levi knew that the difficulty of this battle was definitely not low.
He immediately commanded his subordinates to enter a defensive state and cast many summoning spells.
Looking back and looking around, I saw that there were probably only two types of troops on the city wall, namely spearmen and sea guards. With the blessing of martial arts talents, they should be able to resist, but the output was not very optimistic.
There should have been arrow towers on both sides, but now they have been turned into ruins and are obviously of no use. However, there are several high elves who are urgently debugging a ballista.
Then there is a group of level 3 Erion cavalry in the city, but if it is a purely defensive battle, there is no need to count on them at all.
It seems that the situation is quite serious, but the only advantage is that the Black Castle in this copy is from who knows how many years ago. The overall area is completely incomparable with the Black Castle outside, so the area they need to defend is also larger.
Much smaller.
At this moment, a prompt from the system popped up at the right time, saying that his goal was to survive the greenskin's onslaught for two hours. Reinforcements would arrive by then, and the dungeon would be considered successful.
If during this process, all the troops defending the city are annihilated, or the interior hall in the city is destroyed, the mission will directly fail.
At the same time, the system also reminded him that the high elves in the dungeon would only concentrate on completing their tasks, which was to guard the city walls and gates, so they would never retreat to further areas.
Upon seeing this, Li Wei suddenly had an idea. He would not retreat, but what if I took the initiative to attack?
If you use cavalry troops to coordinate with your many summoned creatures, can you draw a considerable number of greenskins away from the frontal battlefield?
At that time, I can stand on the city wall and continue to bombard the city with magic in a very cool and unrestrained way.
And there is not much danger. The greenskins' strongest point is melee combat. In other aspects, whether it is long-range or magic, they are far inferior to the high elves.
Although the system says that if you persist for two hours, you can win, but if you kill all the opponents before reinforcements arrive, will you get a higher reward?
Thinking of this, he directly issued a series of orders, and soon the side door opened. Simon led dozens of cavalry troops out of the city first, and then the flying Mastiff-headed Archons and Supervisory Archons also took the initiative to try to attract
The attention of the stronger greenskins.
Sure enough, even if they couldn't reach them for a while, the green-skinned people couldn't stand this kind of provocation. They roared with excitement and tried desperately to catch up, especially the green-skinned wild boar boys.
.
Soon after Archon the Mastiff reunited with Simon, they became even more excited when they saw more enemies, and the Black Orcs seemed to have no intention of stopping them.
So at least two to three hundred greenskins were dispersed for a while, and more greenskins began to look back frequently, seeming to want to join in, but the black orcs seemed to be more strict with them, and they were yelling angrily.
Urge them to concentrate on their work.
As soon as he saw this scene, Levi immediately laughed, knowing that his plan would probably work.
If Xiao Qi is released again and finds an opportunity to use magic to kill those black orcs, the success rate of this plan will be even greater.
Although he had fought against the greenskins several times before, looking at it now, those were just small fights. But thanks to this dungeon, it seemed that he could also fight against the beast-blood boiling before he actually fought against them.
