As soon as he returned to the village, Li Wei found that reinforcements were arriving one after another. The number was quite large, at least two to three thousand, so that the small village could no longer accommodate them.
At this moment, many troops are taking a temporary rest outside the village, or are waiting for further orders.
There are also some troops transporting wood and stone. It seems that they intend to further strengthen the village's defense and prepare for a long-term battle.
There are also sporadic divinely chosen heroes arriving in the distance with their own troops. It seems likely that Mikaela has issued some mission for them to meet here.
If the greenskins really dare to catch up, they will definitely be the ones who die.
The reinforcements from the Moonbow Temple were also present. Among the many high elf troops, their number was not very large. There were only about two hundred in total, but the night elves' violet skin was still very conspicuous.
Noticing his gaze, several leading priests returned friendly looks. Levi naturally smiled and nodded, because he had met them before in Ash Ridge Town, and both parties were no longer strangers.
In addition, Levi also discovered some other uninvited guests, some humans dressed in red.
There is no doubt that they are members of the Red Brotherhood.
But for a while, he was not sure whether the other party came for him, because they were currently following several divinely chosen heroes. There were almost a dozen acting leaders of the Red Brotherhood, and Lotus Iris also
Just one of them.
So he did not approach immediately, but asked Cindy and others who had been working hard for a while to rest first, while he followed Michaela and Reiner to the meeting hall.
Sui Feng and others are preparing to report the good news to their guild leader Master, and also plan to brag to other companions. After entering the game for so long, how many people can achieve the evaluation of epic victory?
Although they are not the main force in this battle, they are still one of the participants!
Noticing their actions, some of the God-chosen heroes who were resting suddenly became a little commotion. They could only stay outside the village, why could the other party enter the village?
And that guy dressed as a mage can actually follow behind Michaela, who has always been arrogant and indifferent? It’s really annoying to compare people to each other!
But there was no need for Li Wei to speak. As soon as a few guys murmured, Sui Feng and others had already taken the initiative to move over. They followed Li Wei in the battle this time, and they really benefited a lot. They couldn't just sit back and watch others look down upon them.
Or misunderstood Levi!
Levi didn't notice the incident happening behind him for the time being, or even if he did, he didn't care. He just listened carefully to Mikayla's description of the upcoming battle plan.
Generally speaking, our side plans to launch a full-scale attack. The God-chosen heroes can each choose their own attack route. The aborigines will give priority to ensuring that the current village is no longer lost. After defeating the enemy in front of them, they will go forward again.
Refers to Pigherd Town.
However, they don't want to capture it. Not to mention that the surrounding terrain is too harsh and there are few resources there. There is no point in capturing it. They just want to use this to attract other greenskin armies to surround the site and provide reinforcements to the maximum extent possible.
It's just reducing the greenskin's combat power.
At the same time, they also need to find out as much as possible the real reason for the large-scale appearance of bugbears and snake people.
Especially the former, because it's likely to involve a demigod.
In order to achieve this strategic goal, in addition to the support of other colonies, many temples in Ashridge Town have taken action, and many God-chosen heroes are also working together. The Dragon Prince Imric who is far away in the Ulthuan Ring Island has also launched an external campaign.
Ask for help.
As a result, the two sub-species of elves, sea elves and wing elves, will soon send reinforcements.
Although they are completely incomparable to the high elves in many aspects such as power and population, they are still much more powerful than the night elves. These two sub-races of elves also each have a racial patron saint with medium divine power.
One is the patron saint of sea elves that Levi had known before - Deep Sea Sesela, and the other is the patron goddess of wing elves - Adri Fenria.
Sea elves have fish-like gills and are a race that lives deep in the sea. Once they join, the coastal areas of the colony will become very safe.
At that time, they will also be responsible for investigating and defending the threats posed by the sahuagin, as well as the vampires and other undead that cooperate with the sahuagin.
The Winged Elves will try to assist them in attacking Swineherds Town. The swamps outside there are a great trouble for the infantry, but for them, who all have wings on their backs, it is not a problem.
However, they still need to be carefully protected from being harmed by demons or enemy long-range attacks. Compared with most elves, the lives of wing elves are much more fragile.
In order to be able to fly, they naturally have to give up some things. Compared with ordinary elves, their bodies are more slender.
Overall, as long as we can withstand this wave of counterattacks by the greenskins, the colony's situation will become higher and higher, from the original passive defense to an active attack.
The only thing that is a bit helpless is that since the abyss rift has not been closed, demons still haunt the territory from time to time. In addition, the previous losses in the fall of Black Castle were heavy, so in addition to defending many towns and villages, Princess Belinda
We can't send many reinforcements for the time being.
This time, the hundreds of reinforcements brought by Michaela and Reiner were finally mobilized through gritted teeth.
There is no other way. The high elves' home island of Ulthuan is too far away from here. Even if the Dragon Prince sends reinforcements now, he doesn't know how many days it will take to reach them, and how far they can reach.
Because there are often more dangers on the sea than on land, such as wind, waves, rocks, pirates, aliens, and monsters.
No matter which reason is encountered, once the warship is damaged and capsizes, an entire ship of troops will be lost.
Therefore, the main force in the next battle may only be the troops of many God-chosen heroes.
Based on what they saw today, the green-skinned warrior was no ordinary reckless man. He would probably try to reorganize his troops and even accumulate more strength for a large-scale invasion. In fact, the pressure on his own side was still considerable.
Li Wei didn't have much opinion on this. Judging from many actual battles and the information provided by Master and Caijin before, the number of green-skinned troops was indeed several times greater than that of the colonies, but the quality was obviously much worse.
.
Now they are at war with demons, dwarves, ogres, Skaven, etc. at the same time. Even their numerical advantage has been offset. This is their best opportunity.
As for the green-skinned warrior and goblin shaman, with Michaela and Reiner here, the other party should not be too presumptuous.
But Reiner next to him could not help but explain with some embarrassment that in fact he might not be able to deal with the green-skinned warrior.
Because unlike most heroes, he specializes in campaign level, not combat level.
This leads to the fact that although with the blessing of equipment, skills and expertise, his combat effectiveness is pretty good, but when it comes to one-on-one combat with green-skinned warriors who have always specialized in fighting, it is still a lot worse, let alone
The opponent is also riding a flying mount.
He is a cavalryman who specializes in charging. He is somewhat unable to hit a single hit. He immediately flees thousands of miles away and waits for the next charge. In terms of head-on fighting, he is also average among warrior heroes of the same level.
The kind that goes down.
Being able to let the proud high elf reveal his weakness like this, Levi knew that with many battles, the relationship between the two parties has gone further, and Reiner should not be self-deprecating. He is really not sure, after all, he has become a hero.
It didn't take long either.
"Will we still have warrior heroes as reinforcements?"
Michaela and Reiner both shook their heads. The reason why the colony was able to quell the demons pouring out of many abyss cracks with weak forces without causing greater losses to the other side was because of the reinforcement of the troops by many heroes.
become.
Although the God's Chosen Heroes are not bad, at present, none can compare with Levi, and they have always been unable to benefit early, so they dare not place all their hopes on each other.
As for the recently recruited alien heroes, not to mention that their loyalty has not been completely guaranteed, and their strength is not very good, otherwise they would not have traveled thousands of miles to a foreign country to serve the high elves.
Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but frown slightly. Although on a large-scale battlefield, a warrior like a green-skinned warrior can exert powerful power like a mage. As long as he is prepared to guard against the opponent's decapitation tactics, he is just a senior soldier.
, but he felt somewhat uneasy.
This Mogrol Ogre does not look like an ordinary reckless greenskin. He has brains. If possible, it is best to find an ally who can match the opponent, just in case.
Seeing him frowning, Michaela subconsciously comforted him: "Levi, you don't have to worry too much. The strength of the goblin shaman is usually considered weak even among the green-skinned legal professions. Even if one fights two
, I will not fall into the disadvantage."
Hearing this, Reiner next to him suddenly became more and more embarrassed, but he had no choice. Who made him prefer to command a large group of cavalry across the battlefield than to fight the enemy one-on-one?
But suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he remembered another thing: "If you want reinforcements, it's not completely impossible."
Levi and Michaela, who were about to say something, looked over together, but Reiner didn't waste any words: "Levi, you should remember what I said before about a hermit in the valley who owned a gemstone ring, right?"
?”
Levi nodded slightly. Of course he would not forget it. In fact, he had already found out clearly that the gem ring, mercury bottle, crystal cloak, and the sulfur ring he held could be combined into a strange object called the Harvest Horn.
.
At that time, it can produce 4 parts each of gems, mercury, crystals and sulfur every day. Over time, this is not a small amount of money that can be ignored.
"Now I have found out clearly that the hermit is not a human or an elf, but a powerful bronze dragonborn warrior. If you can convince him"
Levi suddenly exclaimed in his heart, he just fell in love with the other party's gemstone ring, but now he fell in love with the other party himself?
However, the other party is indeed very attractive. During the previous battle in Black Castle, although I did not have much energy to observe carefully, both the giant dragon and a certain dragon-born warlock showed extremely powerful power.
If you can recruit such a subordinate, that would be a great thing.
Among the ten common types of dragons, bronze dragons should be the easiest to communicate with, for no other reason than that they are almost all lawful good, exactly the same as Levi's camp.
Mikaela next to her was also a little surprised, but then she nodded: "If you are a bronze dragon warrior, your moral character and strength can be guaranteed. Levi, I also support you in doing this.
"
Now it's Li Wei's turn to be helpless. Why is it that in your mouth, the other party is like cabbage on the roadside, which can be picked up at will?
Seeing his appearance, Michaela immediately chuckled: "Haha, don't worry, our Kingdom of Caledor is the best at training dragons. The characteristic of bronze dragons is that they especially like sharks and pearls. The former is food and the latter is snacks.
Their dragonborn are naturally the same."
"Although I don't know why he abandoned his favorite ocean and came inland, it's obvious that he couldn't eat them for a long time. I'll leave that to me."
"What do you love most about the ocean?"
"Yes, let's do this. I will record some information about the bronze dragon and give it to you later, and arrange for someone to prepare food. It should be delivered tomorrow morning. You can have enough time to get to know the other party."
"You don't have to be too reluctant. Even if you can't recruit, you can just hire them temporarily."
"As far as I know, bronze dragons and their descendants still love fighting evil. If there is money as a reward, they will be even more happy."
After talking to this point, how could Levi still refuse? But he thought that things might not really be as simple as Michaela said.
The bronze dragonborn who loves the sea ran inland and became a hermit. No matter how you look at it, he has quite a secret.
But no matter what, for the God-chosen heroes, this should be a task, but it may be more difficult.
After confirming some details, Levi thought about it and decided to put forward one of his proposals first.
He originally planned to communicate with the Moon Bow Temple and try to use the power of the Moon Bow Goddess.
But then I thought about it, he was a soft-spoken person after all, and the Moon Bow Goddess might not really be particularly willing to do it.
If she wants to win over a god with the same weak divine power as her, let alone whether she can pay a high enough price, even if she succeeds, how much benefit will it bring to her?
More importantly, the Moonbow Goddess's camp is chaotic good, while the crocodile Sobek is lawful evil. The two camps are completely opposite. It would be nice if they don't fight after meeting. I'm afraid it won't be possible to talk about cooperation or the like.
Maybe.
But if the colonies come forward, the problem will be much simpler.
There are currently a dozen legendary heroes among the high elves in the main world, and the Dragon Prince is one of the strongest among them. He is also the Lord of the Kingdom of Caledor, and his words must be many times better than his own.
And because he holds the token that can communicate with Sobek, unless the gods go directly to Sobek's kingdom, this matter will probably not get around him in the end. If it can really happen, there is no need to worry.
award.
As soon as the words came out, the room became extremely quiet for a while, and Michaela frowned a little, thinking about how feasible the matter was.
Reiner was thinking carefully about the information he had about Sobek and his subordinates. Finally, he came to the conclusion that if the crocodile men, who are best at swamp warfare, could be allowed to join the battle, then his side might really be able to capture Pigherd Town.
!
But in their hearts at this moment, they all marveled at Li Wei's boldness: He was still far away from being a legend, but he dared to interfere in the affairs between gods. If this made him stronger in the future, would that be enough?
At the same time, they had to admit that Li Wei's speculation was reasonable and feasible.
After thinking back and forth for a long time, Michaela said solemnly: "Levi, I can't make the decision on this matter. I will immediately send a message to Princess Belinda and Lord Dragon Prince, and they will make a decision."
In fact, it's not just that she can't make the decision, even the two people she talks about can't make the decision at all. It's a matter of the gods, and of course the gods can make the final decision.
Li Wei also knew this, but he felt that with the wisdom displayed by the two goddesses, it would not be a big problem for other gods to have half their brains. This was originally a matter of mutual benefit.
If nothing else goes wrong, the previous shepherd Paine has actually successfully hugged him, right?
Reiner burst out laughing: "Levi, if this thing succeeds, even the Dragon Prince will look at you with admiration."
Li Wei naturally responded with a smile, and he confirmed again: "I wonder which god Mr. Dragon Prince believes in?"
"Well, the Dragon Prince specializes in riding and martial arts. He spends more time chasing and taming dragons, so he is not a devout believer in any god."
"So far, he has a certain fondness for the Lord of Blades, and he also maintains general faith in the Emperor of Heaven and the Mother of All Things."
"Is this so"
It is not surprising that the first-generation God King and God Queen are the common beliefs of most elves, but the Lord of Blades, Edreze, is just a weak divine power of chaotic neutrality, with very few believers, not even as good as Lilith.
, there is not even half of the backstage.
In addition to the title Lord of Blades, he is also the God of Honor. This is probably the reason why the Dragon Prince prefers him. After all, many rumors show that this Dragon Prince was originally a very proud elf who valued honor.
But if the Dragon Prince only prayed to him and explained things about Sobek, he would probably be disappointed.
Seeing the difference in Levi's expression, Michaela quickly added: "Don't worry, it's a serious matter. The Dragon Prince will definitely pray to the gods at the same time."
And not just the Lord of Blades.
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but of course Levi heard what she meant: "In that case, I'm sorry to bother you, but I think Goddess Lilith and Moon Bow Goddess may be more supportive of this."
There is no other reason than that he is relatively close to these two goddesses. They are wise and generous enough. If they can really promote this matter, then for him, the reward will definitely be the most generous.
Michaela immediately understood what he meant. In fact, she had already heard about the relationship between him and the two temples, and the many performances of the two goddesses' temples in the battle this time also made her feel very
of satisfaction.
"Okay, I will convey it to the Dragon Prince truthfully."
Li Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll go down and prepare the troops first."
"Well, that's fine. We will work hard to strengthen the village's defense and wait here for the arrival of more God-chosen heroes. If you have the energy, you can also take the initiative to attack, but please pay attention to safety."
Michaela rarely said a lot this time, not only because of the wisdom, strength and potential he showed, but also because he sincerely wanted his side to win the final victory in this war. He had regarded himself as
A member of the colony.
Unlike other chosen heroes, even if they are serving their own side, they care more about the promised rewards and rewards. They never seem to truly regard themselves as part of the elves.
She always felt that there was a very serious sense of alienation between them, like an invisible but actually existing wall.
This is also the real reason why she has always been cold-hearted towards other God-chosen heroes. Even Princess Belinda and others have similar views and attitudes.
So until now, the only chosen hero who has truly won their approval is Levi himself, so they began to constantly change their attitudes, and more and more resources were tilted towards him.
Reiner also laughed: "Levi, if you want to take the initiative at any time, you must call me. My cavalry and I will be at your command."
Facing the menacing greenskins, his strength was severely insufficient and he was unable to take the initiative to attack. However, blindly defending was not what he wanted, so naturally he could only ask Li Wei to take him with him.
Naturally, Li Wei would not refuse. Now Reiner has nearly 500 cavalry under his command, more than half of whom are silver-helmeted knights, as well as several small groups of Dragon Prince knights.
If a wave of attacks were carried out behind the enemy, it would not be impossible to penetrate thousands of troops on the spot, which could completely change the situation of small-scale battles.
Then he gave Mikaela the triangle formation skill book that Master had given him before.
This thing should be regarded as very favorable evidence for the aborigines. Although they have already speculated, they will definitely be more cautious when they actually get it.
As expected, after seeing things clearly, both Michaela and Reiner looked serious, and they both said they would report to the superiors as soon as possible.
After leaving the meeting hall, Reiner immediately posted a notice and issued tasks to many God-chosen heroes, so that the God-chosen heroes could go out on their own and there was no need to stay here all the time.
This is also a combat strategy, using the chosen heroes to distract the greenskins so as to buy more time for their own side.
When the sea elves, wing elves and reinforcements from other kingdoms arrive one after another, the balance of victory will tilt more and more towards our side.
What they are most worried about now is actually the bugbear's fearful demigod, but if the war can be postponed until Lord Illidan is free, or Lord Teclis arrives in advance, then this battle will be safer.
Li Wei noticed that inside and outside the village, in addition to a large number of arrow towers being built, there were also some earth magicians who were cooperating with each other, using magic such as mud wall magic and turning mud into stone, and assisting a large number of magicians.
The wood and stone seem to be building a new line of defense.
Originally, this village had a low stone wall, nearly a thousand garrisons, thirty or forty guard towers, a large number of archers and ballistae, and its defense was already quite good. If the enemy did not have catapults or war equipment, it would have been very difficult.
It's very difficult to capture.
But Michaela and Reiner think this is not enough. They no longer plan to treat this place as an ordinary village. They are working hard to build it into a frontline fortress against the greenskins.
After sighing a little, he went directly to the priests of the Moonbow Temple, who were chatting with the tree demon Lunara he had met before.
In Levi's view, when the other party faced Lunala, she behaved like a subordinate and was slightly respectful. This further confirmed his previous guess that Lunala's origin was not simple.
Maybe she also has a high status among the tree demons. Now she comes out to fight, probably because the tree demons want to show their sincerity to the Moon Bow Temple.
Both the priest and Lunala welcomed Levi enthusiastically, and as he expected, the other party immediately stated that the matter regarding the Red Brotherhood had come to an end, and that they would fully devote themselves to the goddess and fight for the glory of the goddess.
Neither the goddess nor the temple forgot Li Wei's efforts for this purpose, so they brought generous rewards.
The first is the 4 Ancient Protector Seeds. With them, no matter which village they are planted in, the defense there will be greatly strengthened.
Next is a construction drawing of the Moon Well, a building unique to the night elves. Under the illumination of the moon, water with special power will be produced in the well over time.
Drinking it directly can restore a certain amount of health and magic points. It can also be carried to the battlefield in a special container for use. At the same time, it can also be used as a precious material for making various magic potions. It can be regarded as an untold secret of the night elves.
One of them.
Finally, in the next battle, they will all obey his command. If he wants, he can also recruit some of them as his trusted subordinates.
These include 5 types of troops: Illusion Priest, Storm Druid, Dryad, Huntress and Archer.
In fact, the night elves have more than just these types of troops, but because the distance is long and movement is inconvenient, these are the only ones that can come over for the time being.
Li Wei knew very well that this was probably to paint a bigger picture for himself. If he could be more beneficial to the Moon Bow Temple, then those troops might arrive in advance by "coincidence".
Despite this, he was already very satisfied. Not to mention anything else, the unit price of the Ancient Protector Seed was a full 15 gold coins. Moonbow Temple was really very generous this time.
After briefly considering the gold coins he had, he first recruited 15 storm druids and 15 priests each. At present, what his team lacked the most was the legal system and air force units, and they could almost meet these two needs.
Storm Druids are all level 4 magic troops. From Levi's point of view, they can only be regarded as low-end versions of Janet in terms of attributes and skills.
In terms of attributes, their strength and physique are low, but their intelligence and agility are acceptable.
In terms of skills, they have many skills such as tree skin, treatment of minor injuries, forest penetration, wind blade, thunder arrow and storm crow transformation.
After the transformation, they will lose their auxiliary abilities, but their agility will be improved, they can fly, and the power of wind and thunder magic will also be increased.
In addition, as druids, they also possess the most important natural contract skill.
However, unlike Janet, they did not form a contract with animals, but made a choice between wind or thunder, which would give them certain ability bonuses.
When they use such spells, their power, consumption, release speed, etc., as well as the resistance to the corresponding type of magic, will all gain certain gains.
It's a pity that the bonus is so comprehensive, and its value is naturally not much higher. In Li Wei's view, this is not actually a particularly good choice.
If they can all bring level 4 giant eagles as animal companions, and they can use small magic behind them, the effect will definitely be much stronger than now.
Now, Levi is a little reluctant to let them go out to fight on their own initiative. He will leave it to Janet to take command for the time being, and let's work together as assistants in the back.
As for their transformation ability, it is better to treat it as a trump card and save it for use when they are attacked by the enemy's air force. It will definitely give the enemy an unexpected surprise.
Then he recruited 10 level 4 dryads who used throwing spears as weapons. These half-elf, half-deer girls were somewhat similar to the storm druids in terms of attributes. They were all auxiliary, but only one
One is flying, and the other is landing on all four hooves.
Healing, purification, magic resistance, terrain adaptation, good at woodland warfare, spear throwing specialization, as well as self-made slow poison and poisoning. The skill panel can be said to be very gorgeous, and what matches it is their high price.
The recruitment cost and maintenance cost are more than twice as expensive as ordinary soldiers of the same level.
But Li Wei felt that it was still worth it, because now the cavalry unit could also have a treatment unit, and his unit's lineup became more and more complete.
Next are the 30 huntresses. In the previous battle with the green skins, they showed quite good strength. Whether it is straight-line charging speed or flexibility, they are more than one step ahead of their opponents. They are simply like those bulky wild boar boys.
’s natural nemesis.
Now that his military position has added bonuses to the night elves, they will definitely be able to exert greater power.
As for archers, there is no need for them. They are both Tier 2 soldiers, so he is naturally more inclined to choose archers of his own clan.
Finally, he talked with the other party about the silver magic circle used to destroy the demon sacrifice ceremony, which was also the basis of his cooperation with Cai Jin.
He plans to get more information from the other party, and Cai Jin obviously has the idea of killing someone with a borrowed knife. At least so far, the two sides are still very harmonious because they have common enemies and needs.
In order to avoid further setbacks later, he did not conceal the future whereabouts of those silver magic circles.
The priest thought about it and did not refuse directly. In fact, since they were created, the temple naturally hopes to promote them on a larger scale so as to better target demons.
Now Levi also said that he would pay money, which is even better. Although the money is not much, it also represents sincerity.
She still needs to confirm with the temple as soon as possible whether selling to the green-skinned hero of choice will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy. However, it should not be a big problem. Whether it is Levi's excellent performance in the past or his current candid attitude, it should be able to prompt the temple to quickly
make a decision.
However, to be able to develop a traitor among the greenskins, should we say that it is indeed Levi who has become famous recently?
So they quickly reached an agreement, and Moonbow Temple would arrange the matter as soon as possible and give Li Wei a reply.
Levi naturally smiled and thanked him, and said hello to the tree demon Lunala next to him. He planned to go to Master to discuss the next war.
He and Mikayla both believed that once Reiner announced it to the public and allowed many God-chosen heroes to go north on their own, the greenskins would be severely affected, and they would most likely be unable to attack their own side in time.
Then how to choose the strategy for yourself and others will become extremely important.
