"So all things considered, the situation is somewhat unfavorable to us at the moment."
After listening to what Reiner said and looking at the map on the wall, Master almost had the urge to roll his eyes. Not only was this disadvantageous, he was simply being chased and beaten by the opponent!
Beast Blood Boils has more than two hundred God-chosen heroes. Even if each of them only has 100 troops, that is still an army of 20,000, not to mention the larger number of green-skinned natives.
However, the high elves currently only have about 2,000 low-level troops here, and they have to defend multiple villages respectively. They are unable to carry out any counterattack at all.
If it weren't for another important military stronghold - Warrag Fortress, the straight-line distance from this village is only ten or twenty miles. The greenskins are somewhat afraid, and there seems to be an abyss rift there, so the greenskins are slightly scattered.
Pay attention, I'm afraid they will almost reach Ash Ridge Town at this time, right?
But despite this, Reiner must bring his Dragon Prince and Silver Helm Knights with him every time he travels, otherwise he may be attacked by green skins at some point.
Under such circumstances, he actually dared to lead troops to participate in the battle of Black Castle before. It can only be said that he is really courageous.
Reiner sighed again: "Although I have ordered the villagers to evacuate many times and then concentrate on defense, those half-elves are very reluctant to part with their land."
In the colony, except for the three important strongholds, most of the other villages are half-elves, occasionally mixed with some humans who have taken refuge. Because the high elves hardly rely on the taxes of ordinary small villages, these humans are in their own territory.
You can usually live a better life.
But compared to pure-blood elves, their talents, lifespans, etc. are much worse. Even after these years of development and reproduction, many half-elves have become pure farmers and regard the land as their first priority.
Two lives, this is something that he cannot completely reverse.
"What about reinforcements?"
Reiner shook his head slightly: "We have just captured the Black Castle. It is impossible to send too many reinforcements in a short period of time. Even if some come, they are basically to assist in the defense of the village, and"
He then changed his tone: "If our reinforcements are responsible for all the enemies, then what is the meaning of our existence? Is it just defense?"
Master and the Lightcaster couldn't help but were stunned. They both saw the light shining in each other's eyes, like a raging flame, which represented unwillingness, anger, and even ambition.
It's not just them, the God-chosen heroes, who are looking for opportunities to become stronger, so are the aborigines too?
Levi also saw something of the meaning: "Liner, if you have any ideas, it's okay to say so. They are all my friends too."
Master and the Lightcaster naturally nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, let me tell you the truth. Recently, the greenskins have been using some insidious methods, such as cutting off food and grass, encircling the points for reinforcements, etc. Originally, I did not have enough troops, but now I want to take the initiative and use these methods.
Use it on them."
Although it is a magical world, the daily ration supplies, arrows and other consumables for thousands of troops stationed in the village, as well as the weapons and armors worn every day, and even the wood and stone used to repair buildings, etc., of course cannot be all
They are all transported through space rings.
Therefore, even the high elves with highly developed magic had their teams transporting supplies intercepted and robbed by the greenskins before.
But after studying for so many days, Reiner began to have a new idea. Since the greenskins dared to do this, could he also use the same method?
At least the greenskins do not have as many space rings as the high elves, and they will rely more on normal transportation!
Levi and others were immediately excited. In fact, they didn't have too detailed ideas at first, but now the idea proposed by Reiner is very feasible, and more importantly, the loot from plundering the enemy's supply team will definitely be very great.
So rich!
However, this mission is relatively dangerous. After all, it must go deep into the enemy's hinterland.
Although each village is basically more than ten miles apart, Beast Blood Boiling has more than 200 God-chosen heroes. You may encounter each other even if you walk a few miles, not to mention the many green-skinned natives.
Therefore, what Reiner proposes now should only be a general idea, rather than asking them to do it immediately, otherwise it will just be death.
After pondering for a moment, Levi then said: "Then what exactly do we need to do now?"
Lena said without hesitation: "First attack two or three frontline villages to find out the enemy's weaknesses, and then concentrate your forces to launch a fierce attack. It is naturally best if you can capture it, but if the opponent's resistance is too strong, then pretend to retreat.
Attract the opponent out, and I will lead my troops to launch a surprise attack from the side."
It can be seen that he has been thinking about this plan for a long time.
Li Wei and others nodded one after another. There is nothing wrong with it. In any case, we need to weaken the enemy's strength first. Otherwise, there will be tens of thousands of troops under the command of the God's Chosen Hero alone. In a head-on battle, with our own existing strength,
There's no way to win.
Although the further we delay, more aborigines and divinely chosen heroes will come to our aid, but as Reiner just said, the credit will not be theirs!
After confirming some details, a few divinely chosen heroes were left to assist in the defense. They began to set off one after another. Lightcaster headed northwest, Master headed northeast, and Levi headed due north, which happened to be able to attack three enemies at the same time.
village.
The number of his troops is much smaller than the other two directions, but the average strength of the troops is undoubtedly the first. Even if he encounters the ordinary three or five green-skinned God-chosen heroes, he is not afraid at all, and can even defeat them in turn.
other side.
Of course, the most important thing is that Reiner is following him.
The troops he led this time were smaller, but there were 2 squads of level 5 Dragon Prince Cavalry and 5 squads of level 4 Silver Helmet Knights, plus hundreds of Elion Cavalry, and he could defeat hundreds or even thousands of enemies with one charge.
Very relaxing thing.
Reiner has now become a hero, and he is a member of the Caledor nobles. It is normal for him to have some battle treasures and learn some battle skills to strengthen the cavalry.
The gap in combat effectiveness between the cavalry under his command and the cavalry led by Simon will be very obvious. When fighting in the Black Castle before, Levi had paid special attention to the other party. He had to admit that Simon was still very, very far away from him.
distance.
While moving forward, Levi also humbly asked Reiner about many aspects of the green skin, especially things related to its gods.
As of now, he has directly or indirectly known that many gods have taken action. It is unreasonable for the green-skinned gods to be completely silent, especially when it comes to elves.
After all, as we all know, the green-skinned god Gruumsh became one-eyed because he was blinded by Corellon, the current Elf God King. Therefore, they are always doing their best and trying to defeat the elves in every aspect - now mainly
High elves, seeking revenge.
Reiner naturally would not refuse Li Wei's request, so he spoke quickly and explained to Li Wei a lot of secret knowledge that was difficult to access in ordinary times.
Speaking of which, before the high elves built large-scale colonies overseas, and before the rise of humans, the greenskins had been glorious for a long time.
In the beginning, the forging craftsmanship of each race was underdeveloped, and their magic was not perfect, so they mostly relied on their own strength and skills.
At that time, the greenskins, who advocated chaos and cannibalism, maintained high-intensity fighting with each other in the form of small tribes, quickly eliminating the weak. This made their average combat power very powerful, so they could continuously attack cities.
Grab land and expand your territory.
Affected by it, the green-skinned gods at that time were also very powerful. They even once attacked a certain human pantheon and successfully defeated it. Many human gods died in the battle.
Although the human race has more than one pantheon, Cathay, Kislev, Nibon, Inda, Sigma Empire, and even Donna and the Amazons also have their own gods and pantheons, but the green-skinned gods at that time
The combat effectiveness is also evident.
Even during this process, there were evil gods from other pantheons lurking in the dark and taking advantage of the situation to seize some profits. However, the harvest of priesthoods, divine realms, divine powers and many other trophies still made the green-skinned gods stronger, even at that time.
The greenskins do not have any weak or weak divine power in the entire pantheon. Their lowest divine power is medium.
But this also made the gods of other pantheons see the threat, and the original oppression of various races by the green skins, causing elves, dwarves and many other races to begin to fight back.
Coupled with the maturation of forging technology and the gradual rise of magic, life for the greenskins has become increasingly difficult.
It was not until a certain war that the second-generation Elf God King Corellon defeated the green-skinned god Gruumsh. The other elven gods also relied on their absolute superiority in numbers and strength to defeat the green-skinned gods at once, causing their strength to decline significantly.
.
At the same time, the armies of elves, dwarves and humans also took action in a tacit understanding, driving the greenskins from the fertile plains to the barren badlands in a very short period of time.
In this process, the green-skinned gods were also continuously affected. For example, the green-skinned military god Inava, the god of strength and foolish courage, Bagchu, etc., were originally medium-level gods, but under the attack of the elves,
After that, all of them turned into weak divine powers.
Among the green-skinned gods, only Brother Goge and Maoge have medium divine power. Although the two of them are classified as green-skinned gods, they are actually incompatible with other gods and have never fought side by side.
They also do not pay attention to their own beliefs at all. They are almost the kind of people who have no desires or desires. It is entirely because their behavior style is very appetizing to the greenskins, so they spontaneously worship them.
After that, although the greenskins were greatly weakened, other races did not relax their vigilance. So after who knows how many years have passed, the mortals may no longer know the reason for the initial war, but as long as they see it
Orcs, just hack them to death.
At the same time, the gods are also trying their best to prevent the green-skinned gods from making a comeback. The most obvious thing is that after so many years, the green-skinned gods have never been born who hold the magic priesthood.
You must know that except for the dwarves who are born with magic resistance and therefore cannot learn magic, almost all other larger and more educated races have magic gods, the most typical ones being elves and humans.
However, the green skins do not have a magic god. This means that the green skins only have wizards, shamans and other unorthodox magicians. They have no systematic inheritance and knowledge at all. In a head-on magic duel, they will basically be defeated by mages of the same level.
Then there is a similar reason. Except for the priests under the green-skinned life goddess Ruseko who can heal, the priests or priests of other green-skinned gods basically mobilize the earth, fire, water, and wind, or cast some gain or debuff magic. There is almost no
The ability to heal.
Coupled with the chaotic nature of the greenskins, this led to the fact that in many subsequent wars, when the number of armies of both sides was equal, unless a powerful leader appeared who could determine the outcome of the battle, the greenskins almost never won.
The gods such as elves and humans have grown rapidly, and even now, both sides have completely crushed the green-skinned gods in terms of number of gods.
Not counting the second brother Gomao, the greenskins only have one powerful god and five weak gods. Even if the elven gods experienced a split and many gods were taken away by Spider Queen Rose, there are still a total of thirty
Many gods.
Of course, this does not fully represent the true strength of the gods on both sides. Except for the goddess of life, Ruseko, the wet nurse, the rest of the green-skinned gods are all fighting types, and are tightly united under their main godhead.
Under the command of Ush.
On the contrary, there are many gods of history, illusion, pleasure, etc. among the elven gods. Their actual combat effectiveness is very poor, and they are divided into multiple different camps internally.
For example, Kane, the Bloody Hand God, is completely chaotic evil, and in recent years, he has become more and more inclined to the dark elves.
The God of Disaster, Illinir, the God of Floods, Estris, etc., only spread their beliefs, showing off their divine power to both the enemy and ourselves, regardless of race.
There are a total of more than thirty gods, but they include eight major camps, except for lawful evil. Although the overall combat power seems to be very powerful, in fact, it is difficult for such elves and gods to truly unite as one.
Especially after the three powerful gods, Asuryan, the Emperor of Heaven, Aisha, the Mother of All Creation, and Eth Haiai, the Goddess of Death, disappeared almost at the same time, the situation became more and more serious.
The current God-King Corellon is from the chaotic good camp. Whether it is strength, qualifications, or control over other gods, he is far inferior to the first-generation God-King Asuryan.
The reason why the high elves can suppress the greenskins almost everywhere is because they have developed themselves, rather than relying on the protection of the gods.
But recently, Reiner has observed that these greenskins no longer fight in a swarm, but become organized and use strategies. This makes him a little worried, whether they are the greenskin war gods, or even other people.
The command of the Lord God.
If that is the case, the problem will become many times more serious, which may lead to huge changes in the entire main world, because green skins exist in almost all continents.
However, since the greenskins often use several times the force to defeat the weak, it is difficult for him to have the energy to find out the special existence among them. This is just his temporary suspicion.
He did report to the acting lord and others, but the war was urgent and all the elves were busy dealing with the demons in Black Castle, so they had no time or energy to investigate this matter carefully.
Li Wei also secretly kept in mind that if the gods were betting on it, there would probably be someone in the Beast-Blooded Boiled God who was valued by the green-skinned god. After all, the Beast-Blooded Boiled had captured many villages one after another.
This is something that even the Red Cloud Tribe could not do in the past.
At the same time, he also learned very important information. The pantheon that was defeated by the green-skinned gods was coincidentally the Mulhorand pantheon, where the giant crocodile Sobek he had just seen was located.
pantheon
The hatred between the two sides is probably much stronger than the hatred between the elves and the green-skinned gods.
This made him feel very interesting. Sobek must not be reconciled to being ostracized by other members of the pantheon. He must be trying to change the status quo. So what could be more effective than inflicting heavy damage on the green skin?
Although he still has no idea what the greenskins are busy with, and it will take several days to see Sobek, but this is at least a direction to work towards.
If it really succeeds, Sobek won't let his work go in vain. The law of evil is also law, and the emphasis is on rewards for meritorious deeds.
Even the elven gods may take the opportunity to express their kindness to Sobek. The elven gods are either mages, archers or agile warriors. They really lack human shields and cannon fodder, while the crocodile man and the crocodile god are...
They all look like excellent human shields!
Well, speaking of it, last night, Elegy even came to him quietly and said that the rainforest where they met Sobek was almost exactly the same as the environment she had at the goddess Diana.
Not only the surrounding trees, but also the special energy and atmosphere that is almost everywhere in the entire space.
As living beings, they might not be able to feel it for a while, but as someone who had died once and was just a spirit body at the time, she would definitely not remember it wrong.
This can't help but make Li Wei have more associations. Is it that the territories of the two divine systems are so close, or is Sobek unable to bear it anymore and even voluntarily left the plane where his own divine system is located? That's why
Could it be a coincidence that he had an intersection with Paine, the god of fauns?
After a long conversation, Li Wei learned a lot. In order to express his gratitude, he reciprocated the favor and told the other party about the dungeon in detail. Reiner left too early that day and missed the opportunity to enter the dungeon.
After listening to this, Reiner was very interested. He was not interested in the rewards of the dungeon. He just wanted to participate more in the battles that took place in the Black Castle in the past. If he could fight the enemy heroes, that would be even better.
alright.
After hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but think, if you really think so, how about going to fight the difficult dungeon with me?
But after thinking about it, he finally didn't speak. Although Reiner said so, if he could really get some trophies while fighting, I'm afraid he wouldn't refuse, so why bother to pay for himself?
What about part-time work?
At this time, Supervisory Archon also sent a warning to him, saying that a large group of greenskins had been spotted ahead, numbering more than a thousand, and among them were many God-chosen heroes.
Although the Supervisory Archons were a little unclear at first, after Li Wei emphasized several times, they finally learned to distinguish between the aboriginal people and the God's Chosen Heroes. In fact, the most important thing is that the costumes of the God's Chosen Heroes often look different.
It's very conspicuous. They all use whatever attributes are good, so the style of the equipment may be completely inconsistent.
Especially for the greenskins who are relatively poor and only have animal skins or rags for weapons, this contrast will be even more obvious.
Levi immediately shared this information with Reiner and asked him to command the cavalry troops on his own. I believe that with his experience and strength, he can definitely give the greenskins a big surprise.
Reiner immediately rode away without saying anything. He had been passively defending for such a long time and had endured so much harassment from the enemy. He had already accumulated a lot of anger, and now it was time to vent a little!
