Chapter 315 Battle Banner of the Secondary Celestial Legion
Chapter 315 The Battle Flag of the Secondary Heavenly Kingdom Legion
Naturally, the Sun Knights would not have any objections. They made such a big move today just for the sake of Oostark City. Since they cannot bring the undead as cannon fodder, let the ogres be used as cannon fodder.
On the other hand, the dwarf Hans and the shield dwarf Dussel felt very pity.
Many of their tribesmen and subordinates were celebrating this rare victory just now, but now they regretfully learned that they may not be able to participate in another great victory.
But it's a pity, they are not ignorant people, and they quickly expressed their support.
They immediately cooperated with the mages brought by Pamela, using spells such as turning fossils into mud to reopen the previously closed passage. Then the two of them decided to bring all the dwarf priests and shield dwarf priests to follow Li
Wei went to the city of Ostark.
And they said mysteriously that if there was to be a siege, they would definitely give Li Wei a surprise.
Considering that the dwarf helicopter is enough to carry them, it will not slow down the march of the troops.
Moreover, some of their war equipment can be dismantled and put into space rings, which will definitely play a great role in the subsequent siege battle. Li Wei naturally agreed.
They walked quickly along the way. Since Pamela and Dussel were with them, they took shortcuts and walked for several miles without encountering any enemies blocking their way.
Whether it was wild monsters or other small forces, facing their troops, they would either flee early or stay in the village shivering.
Even if some of the slower troops are temporarily eliminated, they still have close to two thousand people. This number is already more than the entire population of most villages in the Dark Region. It is impossible for them not to be afraid.
ah!
Levi was not idle and began to check the ransom from Names. These gadgets were his exclusive spoils, and he did not need to share them with others.
But after seeing it, Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and Namesi still played a little trick.
There was no problem with the quality of the things she gave. She was even very generous in order to pay for her life, or in other words, she had to be generous under the threat of Li Wei, so she contributed a full 6 pieces of green and 4 pieces of blue.
The only special thing is that they either require the race to be a demon or a chaotic evil camp to be used. At first glance, they are completely unsuitable for Levi and his men to use.
If you talk about one or two things, it is still possible to understand, but if it is the same for all, it is abnormal.
You must know that she has looted the Black Castle before and fought against high elves and greenskins, so she must have corresponding trophies on her body.
But all the things she gave him were like this. It was obvious that she was deliberately trying to disgust Li Wei.
It's a pity that she probably didn't expect that as a celestial mystic, he has special expertise in purifying evil magic items.
He can try to change the characteristics of these evil items to neutral or holy by spending a certain amount of magic and gold coins, and the usage requirements will also change accordingly. These equipment will not be in vain.
However, Li Wei didn't bother to waste time on getting the green quality things. He directly started to purify the blue ones. After spending a total of forty or fifty gold coins, he completed it quickly and smoothly.
A red flame bracelet that increases fire attack was given to Sally, and a glory knight glove that increased attack speed and a little defense was given to Elegy.
A Battle Pass, which increases the critical hit rate, critical hit damage rate and armor-breaking effect, was given to Donna.
But what Li Wei really values is the last special rare item that has a 20-time use limit.
It was originally named the Battle Flag of the Secondary Abyss Legion. It does not come with any attributes and has only one active skill - summoning the Secondary Abyss Legion.
The effect is to summon multiple types of demons such as Iron Riding Demon, Horned Demon Overseer, Cerberus, Horned Demon, Gog, Magog, etc. by sacrificing blood and soul.
The more sacrifices there are, the higher the level and number of summoned demons will be, but the level will not exceed level 5 at most. The maximum number, duration, etc. are based on the user's level, intelligence and other related attributes.
During the process of being summoned, if they kill the enemy, they may accumulate separate, special charging points to continue summoning the same kind.
Theoretically, each participant in the battle can summon one of the same kind, but those of the same kind cannot continue to summon the same kind.
If the user has signed a special contract with a demon of a certain race, he can also specify the demon of that race to appear when summoning. Of course, the required sacrifices cannot be discounted at all.
This is also the most valuable of these trophies.
But the reason why Names is so willing is obviously out of good intentions. In addition to the attributes and levels, it also requires that you must be a demon or chaotic evil camp to use it.
According to common sense, Levi is absolutely useless. It can only be said that Names is really good at disgusting people.
But when it was purified by Levi, it became the battle flag of the secondary heavenly army. The devil carrying a bloody human head on the original flag also turned into an angel surrounded by holy light.
Its general principles and effects have not changed, but the camp requirements have become lawful good, and the sacrifices have become gold coins, light element crystals or other precious gems.
The most important thing is that the summoned creatures have also changed from demons to angels, Gaidin Celestial Clan, Yakon Celestial Clan and other heavenly creatures.
And how many celestial beings are currently under contract with Li Wei?
The answer is 18 types.
Among them, there are 9 types of Archons, 8 types of Gaidin Celestials, and fewer Angels. There are only Level 3 and 4 Courage Angels, which are essentially one type.
Based on Li Wei's current strength, he can theoretically summon up to 30 bear-headed divine envoys up to level 5 at one time.
Whether it's a frontal battlefield or a surprise attack, the effect is terrifying.
This is still a blue wonder, and the purple epic is not so exaggerated, okay? He can directly summon a small army!
From the current point of view, its actual combat effect is more than better than that of the Yin Red Knight's strategy chessboard.
The difference is that you don't need to spend any gold coins on the chessboard. As long as you win the battle, you can get charging points and summons for free, and you may continue to become stronger in the future. This battle flag uses real money and silver in exchange for combat power.
And what is more regrettable is that even if, as a Celestial Mystic Master, he has expertise such as Heavenly Attendant, there will be a certain degree of reduction in the corresponding cost, but if he really summons all the bear-headed gods, it will still cost hundreds of gold coins.
The average price is almost as high as the recruitment price of other Tier 5 arms.
It can only be said that this is really a gold coin-eating thing. No wonder Names would throw it to him, because as long as he uses it, no matter from every aspect, she wins.
If you are summoning a lower-strength being such as a Tiger Messenger, a Wolf Patroller, or an Angel of Courage, the cost will be greatly reduced.
Although their combat effectiveness will also decrease, with the support of Duo and other equipment, they are still pretty good and will be very useful in emergencies.
However, Li Wei believes that the most economical and efficient method may be to summon Holy Light Archon.
They themselves are only level 2. After reduction and exemption, even if dozens of them appear together, the cost of summoning them is negligible to Levi.
But they can penetrate most magic shields or strong light rays with damage reduction effects, and their power is even better than the burst of ordinary level 3 troops.
And in this way, Levi can also put them into a combined state as quickly as possible. At that time, whether it is a holy light storm or a three-shot burst of strong light rays, it will be very efficient when dealing with groups of miscellaneous soldiers.
After throwing the Holy Light Storm, cancel it directly, and then summon a new Holy Light Archon, and so on. If the enemy's strength is low and he can find a more favorable terrain, it will not be a dream to defeat ten thousand people.
It's a pity, he just thought about it this way. This thing has a limit of 20 times of use, so it can't be wasted casually. It must be used at critical moments.
However, if there was no such limit on the number of times, it would at least be an epic-level item, and it might not fall into his hands.
Well, if that's the case, maybe after the battle in the Underdark is over, he can return to the Black Keep and ask Imrik and Teclis.
If they were still there, as well-informed legendary heroes, they would probably have some good ideas.
All in all, Li Wei was very satisfied with this harvest, and he even decided that if there was another chance to meet Names in the future, he might as well let her go again and see what kind of trophies she could come up with.
.
Seeing his series of operations, Lucia beside her couldn't help but become interested.
She took the initiative to take out several rings from the Thirteenth Family: "Levi, since you can even purify demonic things, it must be no problem to purify them, right? I'll leave them all to you to use!"
Levi declined with a smile: "The most suitable ones for them are your vampires. How about we wait and see after we collect them all?"
This thing was specially made by Dracula for the 13th family. It must only be used by vampires to maximize the effect.
Even if he can really successfully purify it and turn it into a ring suitable for heavenly creatures, the number 13 has no meaning to them!
Seeing that although Li Wei was smiling, he was actually very determined, Lucia gave up temporarily. Li Wei was right, let's get it together first.
Marching rapidly, thousands of troops soon arrived at Oostak City. When they arrived, all the city gates had been closed, and the city walls were filled with drow warriors, drow crossbowmen, etc.
If so many enemies were approaching so quickly and they hadn't noticed it, they wouldn't have been able to survive in the Underdark for so many years and become the dominant race.
It's just that the defenders in the city are still a little confused. Where are the thousands of troops they sent out? Could it be that they were deceived by the opponent's tactics?
But the next moment, Levi directly explained the truth, but this truth was completely unacceptable to them.
"Don't think about it. Your army composed of dozens of families has been wiped out by our coalition forces. If you know what's going on, quickly leave the city and surrender. We may be able to spare your lives!"
With the assistance of Pamela's magic, his voice quickly spread throughout most of Oostak City, causing a slight commotion among the defenders.
Levi carefully looked at the town in front of him and tried to find flaws in it.
But he gave up soon. Although the size of this town was much smaller than that of Ember Ridge due to the special geographical environment of the Underdark and the strength of these drows, its geographical location was
Extremely superior.
The back is directly adjacent to the mountains, and it looks like a city carved out of the mountains.
On the west side is a deep cliff. Due to the characteristics of the Underdark, no one knows how deep it is hundreds of kilometers deep.
On the east side is a lower cliff, with a rapid river below, which is also difficult to attack.
Therefore, if any enemy wants to capture this place, they can only launch a frontal attack from one direction.
Although the arrow towers on the city wall are not high, they can be considered densely packed. There are at least fifty or sixty of them. Coupled with the large number of defenders in the city, under normal circumstances, the attackers would have to spend several times the force to defeat the city.
It is possible to capture this place.
Moreover, their city gate seems to be specially made, with a brilliant magical light shining on it, and it will definitely be very resistant to beatings.
But now, the drow have been defeated several times in a short period of time, and the number of troops in the city has been greatly reduced, which is convenient for them.
While he was sizing it up, his own troops quickly began to deploy outside the opponent's maximum range, so Li Wei was in no hurry.
At the same time, the shield dwarf Dussel, who had acted mysteriously before, also took out a large number of things from the space ring, and began to work with his own kind, and the rune blacksmith Hans, and seemed to be assembling some special war.
instrument.
Stump and another dwarf hero under his command were conscientiously adjusting the trebuchet and cannon. Although this was already very familiar to them, it was still not an easy job and they had to devote all their energy.
Several shield dwarf priests and Pamela's mages were casting spells together, preparing to follow Levi's instructions to further damage the opponent's morale.
Soon several female drow dressed as priests poked their heads out from the city wall and cursed fiercely at Levi: "Damn surface elves, your inferior wisdom is not enough to fool us drow elves!"
Levi snorted. Of course he knew that the other party would not believe it easily, so he also made some preparations for this.
He glanced at Pamela, and when he saw her nodding, he waved his hand.
So in the next moment, dozens of blood-stained family emblems appeared in mid-air, together with some broken mithril war hammers, snake-headed whips, broken staffs and projections of various armors.
Almost as soon as they saw them clearly, the drow in the city subconsciously took a breath of air.
Because they all recognized those things, they once belonged to the matrons, chief mage and martial arts masters of various families in Oostark City.
Now that they appear here, it only means one thing. The high elves outside are indeed not lying. The army they sent out to encircle and suppress those hypocritical and stupid drow traitors who believe in Eilistraee must have been destroyed.
The enemy was annihilated!
For a while, even the defenders on the city wall began to waver. They knew how many elite forces the many families in the city had mobilized in order for this siege operation to proceed smoothly.
It can even be said that almost all of them who remain in the city are the weakest in normal times!
Seeing this scene, Levi couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. The hidden attribute of morale was of almost no use to the chosen heroes themselves, and their attributes would not be affected in any way by this.
But for the indigenous people, once their morale is low, their frequency of attacks and enthusiasm for combat will be weakened. After it reaches a certain level, they may even be afraid of fighting, be timid, or simply choose to escape.
This is still very beneficial to our side's upcoming siege battle.
So he immediately struck while the iron was hot: "I swear on the honor of our high elves, as long as you surrender, I will definitely settle you well!"
Originally, Dussel and Hans both stated that they wanted to kill all the evil drow. This was also a common method used by their dwarves and all dwarf subraces when fighting against evil enemies.
But Li Wei believed that it would be too wasteful to do so.
If they can successfully occupy Ostark City, they will definitely need a large number of villagers to carry out repairs, construction and other activities, which all require population.
And if that doesn't work, he can also let the surrendered drow become slaves, which can be regarded as reform through labor.
There was another commotion in the city, but soon the female priest's extremely sharp voice rang out again: "Drow never surrender, let alone surrender like lowly males!"
Although this sentence even affected many drow warriors due to its wide coverage, the drow priests, who were all female and had relatively strong status and strength, were greatly boosted in morale, and for a time there was an endless stream of dirty words.
.
Many drow priests chanted the name of Spider Queen Rose, appearing extremely fanatical.
No matter what they think in their hearts, the other drow can only shout excitedly on the surface, because if they show any disrespect to Rose, the Spider Queen, they will only die.
Li Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. You are really stubborn. Since you don't give yourself a chance, there is no need for me to be merciful.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has commanded it. A real large-scale siege must be fought beautifully!
"Stump, I will also leave my Eagle Claw Ballista to your command. First clear the arrow towers on the opponent's city wall!"
"Okay, brother Li Wei, just leave it to me. I will definitely complete the task!"
Shudun immediately patted his chest and promised, and then he and his younger brother began to direct together.
His younger brother mastered both ballistics and gunnery. When commanding war equipment, he could increase its attack power and hit rate in many aspects.
He had previously spent a lot of military merit to specially obtain a high-level runic equipment unique to dwarves, which could slightly enhance the maximum range of war equipment.
Although the degree of enhancement is not high, in terms of range, they are already slightly better than the ballistas on the city wall, which is suitable for this kind of mission.
So with the roar of cannons, the attacks of trebuchets and ballistae, the arrow towers of Ostark City began to collapse one after another.
Although the drow also tried to launch a counterattack, they soon discovered that they seemed unable to do so because the range was insufficient, and they suddenly started to curse again in anger.
Levi, Pamela, and a few other mages with magic range-enhancing expertise also began to coordinate the attack.
Although the opponent's city walls and arrow towers were obviously equipped with special protection and had a certain degree of fire resistance, it was impossible to completely ignore them, so the speed at which they dismantled the arrow towers became several percent faster.
The opponent's city gate is extremely strong, and ordinary arrows and ballistae are completely ineffective. Only cannons can cause certain damage. At the same time, it seems to have some special magic attached to it, which has a certain chance of reflecting such long-range attacks.
But Li Wei had no intention of attacking the city gate forcefully, so he gave up after trying it for a while.
With air force and magic, just attacking the city gate is really inefficient.
However, when there are still a dozen arrow towers left, the ammunition of the tree stumps has been exhausted.
Even if you are prepared in advance, the cannon shells are not arrows. They cannot be stacked in large quantities in the space ring. They need more space. In addition, some of them were consumed in the previous battle, so their reserves are also limited.
.
But it's almost done now. The output of those dozen arrow towers is no longer a particularly big threat to our two thousand troops.
What's more, during their efforts, Dussel and Hans finally completed their own assembly work.
After seeing the finished product, everyone, including Li Wei, couldn't help but express their sincere admiration.
To put it simply, these are chariots powered by steam and spirits, and their weapons are huge drills in front of the chariot.
They have a total of two power sources, one is used to drive the tank itself, and the other is used to drive the drill bit.
Even people who have never seen them in action can roughly understand their principles and functions just by looking at their appearance.
Yes, they are steam-drilling earth-drilling mine carts invented by the shield dwarves. They were originally used for mining, but now they can also be used to drill holes in local city walls!
The city wall of Oostak City is only about five meters, which is relatively low in this world. Any level 4 agile soldier can jump on it, so their hindrance to the attackers is not as high as expected.
.
Well, dwarves may be an exception. They have low agility, short legs, and are often heavily armored. They are indeed inferior to other races in this regard.
But they are city walls after all. Whether they have them or not is completely different. If these steam drills and mine carts can be used, then all our troops, including ogres and other units that are not good at jumping, can easily enter the city.
.
The shield dwarves have invented them for a long time, but this seems to be the first time for actual combat. Dussel also purely wants to show off their shield dwarves in front of Levi, a powerful new ally.
Strength.
Li Wei was also very happy when he saw this. He directly ordered everyone to launch a general attack. As long as they can cover these people and approach the city wall, victory is almost in their hands!
