However, soon after another supervisor Ya Kong received new news, he felt that the problem seemed a little more serious.
In addition to leading a large number of zombies, skeletons, dire wolves, ghouls, tomb ghosts and barren tomb guards, these undead also carried more than a dozen corpse trucks with the army.
Some of them burn with an unknown gray-white corpse fire, which can strengthen the power of the surrounding undead and slow down the recovery rate of all non-undead magic in a large area.
Others carry magnet bells, which can improve the defense of the undead and slowly heal them with the power of death.
With the cooperation of the two, the strength of all surrounding undead will be greatly improved.
Since the corpse transport vehicle increases by a fixed value rather than a proportion, the lower the level of the unit, the greater the improvement.
In addition, the necromancers themselves have the ability to strengthen the undead. Even the strength of level 1 skeleton soldiers will be greatly improved, and it is not impossible to double the attributes.
Of course, if this was just the case, Levi might just pay attention to the opponent, but not think that the problem was serious. After all, the basic attributes of the skeleton soldiers were too low, and it would not pose any threat to them even if they were doubled.
And he already knew that once he stepped into the Underdark Realm, he might come into contact with the legendary necromancer Herman Gouster and his unique corpse truck.
However, there are more than forty necromancers in front and behind the corpse truck. More importantly, they also have some special emblems on their mage robes and pale bone staffs.
With a black hexagon as the background, there is a grinning skull wearing a crown on its head, which is the holy symbol of the Lich God-Vesharon.
If the God-chosen heroes wear this holy emblem, there is actually no big problem, that is, they superficially believe in the Lich God to gain power. The God-chosen heroes have no real piety towards the gods.
.
But if so many aborigines wear it collectively, it can only mean one thing, they are all believers of the Lich God!
Although the Lich God Velshalun only has weak divine power, he is vain, selfish, and narrow-minded, but he is definitely not a god to be trifled with.
In fact, any god that involves magic, war, death, killing, destruction, etc. will have extra powerful combat power, and Veshalun, who involves both aspects at the same time, can completely defeat most other weak gods.
And his background is also very strong.
He was originally an ordinary lich who was promoted to a subordinate god by Talos, the god of storm and destruction. However, Talos, as a member of the chaotic evil camp, would certainly not be so generous. He just wanted to fatten the pigs and then kill them for meat.
That's all.
Vesharon was keenly aware of this, so he immediately turned to Azuth, the human god of wizards, and indirectly received the protection of Mystra, the main god of Azuth.
Mystra is known as the "Mother of Magic". In this world where magic is king, she is probably the most powerful god.
She even has the ability to prevent other gods from casting spells. It is said that this is because most magic needs to mobilize energy through a special network called the "Magic Network" before being released, and she is the true incarnation of the Magic Network.
Of course, most, not all.
For example, Cindy's psychic powers, the green-skinned Goge and Mao's magic, the shaman's natural power, Cathay's yin and yang power, etc., are not entirely magic and can be unrestricted.
In addition, after spending a certain amount of money, you can also cast spells through the "Shadow Demon Network" of Shar, the goddess of the night;
A very small number of talented mages can penetrate the mysteries of the elements and cast spells across the magic network;
Races with a god of magic can grant their followers magic, etc.
But despite this, it is still not enough to change the fact that Mystra is the most powerful magic god. The only ones who can rival it are the Elf God King Corellon and the Dragon Emperor of Cathay Haotian.
In addition to these, there is another point worthy of Li Wei's attention.
Under normal circumstances, the undead cannot generate any power of faith, but the Lich God, whose followers include high-level undead creatures such as necromancers and lichs, is also the only one who can
A god who recruits the undead as followers.
You must know that even the powerful God of Death - Kelemvor, his followers are basically dying people, undead hunters and undertakers and other people related to death, rather than undead creatures. This Lich Lord
This is where the specialness of God becomes evident.
Of course, by recruiting undead creatures as followers, he also attracted the hatred of the God of Death.
Although he is the god of death, Kelanwo is a lawful neutral camp. He believes in "dust to ashes, soil to earth", and what he hates most is the desecration of the corpses and souls of the deceased.
It is worth mentioning that the Mother of Magic and the God of Death were once a couple, but the Mother of Magic, a neutral and good camp, ultimately chose to protect the Lich God, a neutral and evil camp.
This made the relationship between the former lovers very tense now, which can be regarded as an illustration of the wisdom and skill of the Lich God. He must have used a special reason that the Mother of Magic could not refuse to convince her.
Now that Veshalon's followers appear in large numbers in the Underdark, Levi has to think about it: This time the vampire Dracula, who is also an undead creature, is trying to become a god. Is he also involved in this?
He felt that the chance would be very high. Otherwise, even if Dracula successfully became a god, he would not be able to gain any followers among the undead unless he could get the power from Vesalun to make the undead also generate faith for him.
's secret.
In this case, there will be a big problem. It involves the real god. Even if Tigris and the god Paine come together, they may not be able to solve it, let alone a little mage who has just been promoted to the paragon level.
Got it!
Donna, Elegy, Cindy, Caijin, Suifeng and others all looked at Li Wei whose expression changed a bit. Although they didn't know what happened, it was obvious that Li Wei seemed to have encountered a problem.
However, after a short period of thinking, Levi finally made a decision. Even if he offended the sect of the Lich God, the price would be extremely huge, but now the opponent is almost at his door.
There are more than forty necromancers, almost each with two to three hundred undead. If they successfully reach the Glory of Blood, even if there are Nar and Rowan there, there are many defenders, and there are also celestial creatures.
In a coordinated defense, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long.
Velsalun itself is a neutral evil camp, but most of his followers are chaotic evil necromancers and lichs. There is only one possibility when seeing the living, and that is to start a war immediately until all parties on one side are dead!
As a hero chosen by God, how can you let the opponent beat you in vain without fighting back?
So what if the other party is a follower of Velsalun, behind him there are the two goddesses Moonbow and Lilith, and even the entire elven pantheon!
"Everyone is ready to attack. We will give priority to killing the Necromancers. We will also notify Blood Glory, Sun Knight, Qian Thief and others. After leaving the necessary defensive troops, they will try to attack from other directions and encircle us."
"Since these guys have no good intentions, let them all die here!"
Following Levi's order, everyone began to prepare for battle. The legal forces used various buff magics one after another. Cai Jin and her sisters prepared to command the harpies to charge against the necromancers among the enemies.
Most mid- and low-level legal units will subconsciously try to distance themselves from the enemy after being approached by the enemy. In this way, their own long-range units will gain more attack opportunities.
Although Cai Jin also understands that based on the strength of the harpies, once they charge, they will probably never return, but if she can really replace the lives of some necromancers, she will definitely make a lot of money.
Very profitable.
But after confirming the approximate identity of the enemy, Li Wei reminded her again not to be careless.
Wild necromancers may be easy to deal with. I believe that these guys who believe in the Lich God are organized and disciplined to do evil. The magic they know and the undead they control will definitely be more powerful.
Caijin listened to his warning, so she sent more cat people to reconnaissance, and tried to analyze the composition of the opponent's troops to avoid any unexpected situations.
Not to mention, she soon gained something.
These undead people don't just rest there. In other words, the undead people have no physical strength to speak of and don't need to rest.
The reason why the other party stayed there was because there seemed to be an ancient cemetery in that abandoned village. At the moment, the undead were digging up corpses, probably planning to use the corpses as spare troops and resources.
In addition to the regular undead troops, there are two special beings in the opponent's army.
The first type is dozens of humanoid zombies with gray bodies and slender heads.
They are an enhanced version of ordinary zombies. In addition to greatly improving their attack and defense, they have a certain degree of resistance to fire and lightning, and they also have a very terrifying stunt - death gaze.
Once they stare at a certain target, and if the opponent's physique, level and other attributes are not up to standard, they will be instantly killed on the spot and transformed into a brand new Boda Corpse in a very short period of time.
Repeat this several times, and if you fail to get rid of them immediately at the beginning, you will probably face an undead army composed of Boda corpses in a quarter of an hour.
This really frightened Caijin into a cold sweat, because she knew that if she didn't pay attention and let the harpies wander around in front of Boda's corpse, they might all become the enemy's help.
Caijin's little sisters were also a little scared. They originally planned to send out their heroic units, or simply go out to fight in person, but now it seems that they might as well forget it.
Death Gaze is an instant death skill. Even if there is a being whose strength far exceeds that of Boda Zhi, if he is unlucky, he may be hit by it. If it is not necessary, it is better not to gamble on that probability.
The only good thing is that there are not many of them, and the release distance of Death Gaze is also short, less than 10 meters. If necessary, Donna can kill them all with a hail of arrows.
The second type is some disgusting skeletons that look like they have retained their internal organs and tongues. They are called Demon Soul Corpses and are slightly stronger than Boda Corpses.
Enemies killed by them will quickly turn into ordinary zombies. At the same time, their several-foot-long tongues also have the paralyzing touch skill, which can be said to be the nemesis of melee units.
Overall, their average strength should be at least level 3. If there are elites among them, their strength may be even stronger.
At this moment, they are surrounded by many necromancers, with a total number of four to five hundred. If Caijin rushes to send troops to kill them, they will probably suffer heavy losses.
At the same time, the appearance of several kinds of evil and disgusting undead also made Li Wei and the others more and more sure that the status of these necromancers in Veshalon's sect is definitely not low.
Because these two special kinds of undead were all researched and created by Veshalon himself under the guidance of his lich and necromancers.
The Lich God and his followers like to research and create new undead creatures. After successful research, they often release them to do evil to test their abilities.
They would even personally take them with them to participate in actual combat when the mood strikes.
And when necessary, they will even steal the funerary objects in the tombs as funds, dig up the corpses inside as materials, or openly spread the magical knowledge on how to create and transform the undead, etc.
Because of this, the Lich God Vesharon has attracted the hatred of almost all good and most neutral gods. If he hadn't hugged Azuth and Mystra, he would have been beaten by the group.
Caused death.
Originally, Li Wei only heard about it, but now he really saw the other party's bad behavior.
At the same time, it also made Li Wei feel a little conflicted and disgusted with those two gods. They knew that Vesalun was an evil person, but they still chose to protect him. They could be regarded as covering up the crime!
Although his mood was very complicated, Levi still quickly performed many summoning spells and assigned his subordinates their respective tasks.
Since you are going to fight, fight well and don't give the opponent a chance to fight back!
Soon many troops quickly approached each other and began to enter the most suitable position to launch an attack.
Not to mention, the opponent's location is indeed very suitable for a large-scale battle.
In many places in the Underdark, those thick rock walls often become obstacles, causing the distance above the head to be very low, and long-range units cannot be effective.
But at this moment, the opponent's large force is about fifty or sixty meters away from the cave roof. Not only will Donna's shooting be unaffected, but Caijin's flying force will also have enough space to move around.
I don't know whether they were busy digging up corpses or there were no scouts, so they didn't react at first.
But as they got closer, some ghouls finally made a slight commotion, seemingly because of the undead's special sense of life.
Even though it was still some distance away from his own best range, in order to avoid any accidents, Li Wei made a prompt decision and directly ordered everyone to attack.
As a mage, he can understand best that a mage who is attacked and a mage who is prepared have completely different threats to the enemy!
Following his order, Donna took the lead in shouting. She and the Avalons' magic arrows served as the first guide, and then hundreds of arrows from the Aquila Marksmen and others flew over together, killing dozens of them instantly on the spot.
Head necromancer.
At the same time, Levi also muttered something, and used the level 5 magic that he finally mastered after several days of study - Flame Skull!
A huge skeleton several meters high and made entirely of flames appeared out of thin air. Then, like a wild bull running wild, it wreaked havoc in the camp of the demonic corpses, plowing out a path about two meters wide and long.
A path of flames stretching dozens of meters.
Then came the various types of magic from Sui Feng and others, the druid and the harpy wind witch, and the lightning arrows and wind blades from the electric witches, etc., all flew over and cleared out a small area of Boda corpses in an instant.
In just one sneak attack, the three enemies that threatened them the most had lost more than half of their troops.
At the same time, the Red Flame War Eagle, Dapeng, Harpy, Li Wei's Griffin and Giant Eagle under Cai Jin and others, as well as Sui Feng's flying troops, also descended from the sky and launched an attack on the undead wizards.
Raid.
Although the enemy army is many times larger than our own, if the most intelligent necromancers among them can be killed first, the threat from the remaining undead will be greatly reduced.
But the enemies they encountered this time were not ordinary wild monsters, but well-trained elites who had engaged in many large-scale killings.
Faced with the sudden attack, the Necromancers reacted very quickly. With just a few "bang bangs", a large black mist spread instantly, completely covering their location.
Although Donna still shot the second wave of arrows according to her previous impression, the black mist seemed to have a certain protective effect, and the damage they caused this time was significantly reduced.
The harpies still insisted on swooping down, but in the blink of an eye, along with a series of screams, there was no more movement in the black mist.
Immediately afterwards, the necromancers also began to counterattack, first with several rounds of ice blasts, acid balls, death ripples, and a series of bone teeth, bone arrows and bone spears rising into the sky, instantly beating the harpy.
It's all in pieces.
Although they are necromancers, it is certainly impossible for them to only know some dark magic. Most necromancers will master some backup methods.
The undead who were standing there all let out low roars one after another. Dire wolves, ghouls and tomb evil spirits took the lead in rushing towards Levi and the others, and then the tomb guards also started in neat formation.
March.
Levi originally thought that some undead creatures would become weak and uncontrollable because of losing their masters, but now it seems that under the cover of the black mist, other necromancers have immediately received the relics of those who died in the war.
Controlled all the ownerless undead.
At the same time, several gray-yellow clouds that didn't look very clean appeared out of thin air in the formation of the Silver Guards and Cindy's ogres.
Li Wei's expression immediately changed slightly, because he was very familiar with this move, which was the Stinky Cloud Technique in level 3 magic.
Forget about the ogres, they can basically ignore this move, but the Silver Light Guards are different. Even if they have a certain degree of magic resistance and good physical strength, it's hard to hold on for too long!
"Suifeng, use the wind-making technique immediately to offset the effect of the stinky cloud technique. Priests, hurry up and purify!"
Suifeng immediately responded quickly, and with the howling wind, the gray-yellow clouds were blown away instantly, but at the same time, two mages groaned, and they suffered a magical backlash.
Levi was suddenly a little surprised. The wind creation technique was a level 2 magic, and they were not affected by the smelly cloud technique. Why was there a magic backlash?
Before he could ask any questions, the two mages quickly told him the truth.
"Boss Levi, there is something wrong with the other party's corpse truck!"
"Yes, the system prompted me that it was the corpse truck that affected my magic. Since I don't have the expertise to focus on spell casting, there is a chance that I will suffer backlash every time I cast a spell!"
The corpse truck still has this effect? Is it a type newly developed by Gosit?
But before he could think clearly, the melee troops from both sides soon collided with each other. For a moment, the green skins roared, the catwomen screamed, and the ogres roared, and the calm elves, dead silent,
The undead form a strong contrast.
Donna's arrow rain was still tilting, but she soon had to change the target, because under the cover of the black mist, the necromancers left many more corpses behind, but it didn't take long.
, they still successfully moved to a place beyond their range.
Caijin's harpies also had a bad start. Because the necromancers' counterattack was too violent, hundreds of them died in vain, but they failed to achieve any results.
After finally waiting until the black fog dissipated, they were able to rediscover their target, but hundreds of giant bats emerged from nowhere and started a melee with them.
Although the harpies had the advantage in numbers, the giant bats were assisted by necromancers, so they soon suffered heavy losses.
This made Caijin and the others very distressed, but they still did not order them to retreat, because if they lost their interference and the necromancers could free their hands, the threat to other troops of their own would only be greater.
!
At the same time, the corpse fires on the dozens of corpse trucks burned fiercely, and the magnet clock kept flashing. The magic was almost invisible to the naked eye, but the actual magic began to take effect, covering the undead in the front row.
Affected by this, their abilities in all aspects have been slightly improved.
Just as soon as they made contact, Caijin and her greenskins began to suffer certain casualties. After all, greenskins have never been good at defense, and some tomb demons' attacks also have poisonous properties. Obviously, they may have been affected by
Special transformations of necromancers.
In comparison, the situation of Levi, Sui Feng, their silver guards, and the ogres was much better.
The former's defense is strong enough thanks to many bonuses, while the latter itself has rough skin and thick flesh, and is also more resistant to toxins and the like.
But despite this, Levi also felt the strength of the other party. He was worthy of being a follower of Vesalun. Not only did these necromancers know many types of magic, but the undead under their command were also very powerful.
He even suspected that there was more than one heroic unit among them, because the opponent's counterattack was quite organized, and it was obvious at a glance that someone was commanding from the center. If it were not a heroic unit, other necromancers might not obey the opponent's command so easily.
But even with this, it is still impossible to defeat our own side, not to mention that the Sun Knights have already been dispatched, and reinforcements will arrive soon!
But unexpectedly, before Levi could speak, a certain necromancer took the lead and laughed strangely: "A mixed army of elves, ogres and beastmen? It's really rare, but you think you can challenge the followers of Velsalun with this?
That would be a big mistake!”
Levi casually fired an ice storm to weaken all the remaining Boda zombies. Then he turned his head and pretended to be very confused: "You are followers of Vesalun, but why do you want to replace Gou?"
Serving for Ste?"
After carefully looking at the opponent, Levi found that the opponent was actually a dark-skinned Nico. Compared with the pale necromancers next to him, he seemed to be more suitable for fighting in the dark area. After all, the race has its own invisibility talent.
.
As soon as the words came out, the other party seemed a little surprised: "Herman Gouster? We have heard of this legendary hero, but we do not work for him. We are just embarking on a journey of destruction and testing our new pets.
