Chapter 363 Nonaggression and the Secret of the Moon Bow Goddess
I don’t know if I have been secretly observing the activities in Thorn Town. Less than 2 hours after the Waking Church left, George Jim, the chief priest of the Bann Church here, rushed over from Deadwater Town in person.
He did not come empty-handed. In addition to some symbolic gifts, there was also a contract witnessed by the gods, called non-aggression.
As the name suggests, once Levi chooses to sign the contract, Thorn Town and Deadwater Town will not be able to carry out any form of attack on each other, otherwise they will attract the wrath of God for violating the contract.
Of course the opponent chose Bane, while Levi could freely choose gods such as Lilith, Moonbow or Illidan.
Once one party breaks the oath, the god of the other party can take action once.
This ranges from killing the oathbreaker outright, to simply razing the opponent's entire town, this is all possible.
It depends on the strength of the gods and how much effort they are willing to exert.
In theory, this contract has no time limit, but either party can notify the other party in a formal written form 10 days in advance. After the other party receives it, the contract will be terminated regardless of whether it agrees or not.
The next 10 days are the truce period. Once the 10 days are over, the two sides can start war at will.
Of course, some are dishonest, or would rather bear the wrath of God, and may unilaterally tear up treaties to achieve sneak attacks and other effects.
Or the gods they believe in have clerical duties and fields such as trickery or deception, and may circumvent the constraints of the contract to a certain extent. However, no one will easily believe a treaty proposed by such a force.
Generally speaking, this kind of treaty does not appear particularly frequently, because the forces with really good relations have no need for it at all.
Just like Levi and the dwarves, the shield dwarves, and even the Church of Woking, etc.
What is most suitable for it is that both parties have little trust, so they can only rely on the power of God to maintain the relationship.
Levi thought about it for a moment, and then decisively agreed, and chose Lilith as his god.
The church of any powerful god is not that easy to mess with, and there is essentially no hatred between him and the church of Ben, they are just competing for interests.
Now that he has completely occupied the Town of Thorns, he has made good friends with the Woking Church, and at the same time maintained non-aggression with the Bann Church, forming a three-legged confrontation. He can just sit back and watch the two of them fight.
And there is another very important point. He plans to kidnap Maltis, which will undoubtedly anger the Ben Church.
But after signing the treaty, no matter how unhappy the other party is, even if they want to start a war, they still have to wait 10 days.
Bane is of the lawful evil camp, and he will not casually let his followers violate the contract he witnessed. That would be a complete slap in his face.
Almost at the same time as he made the request, a mark belonging to Lilith appeared on the contract, which made George Jim stunned for a while.
He is the chief priest of Benn Church here, but in order for Lord Benn to agree to this contract, he also prepared for a long time and asked hundreds of believers to pray continuously for more than ten hours.
How could it be like Li Wei, who didn't even mention a word, just a thought in his mind, and the other party directly agreed?
Are elves and gods so easy to talk to?
How does this look like a believer or a hero chosen by God? The treatment of the legendary son of God and goddess is basically like this, right?
However, this performance once again strengthened his belief. It seems that living peacefully with the other party is really a very correct choice.
So soon the chief priest, Qiao Jim, left happily. After signing this contract, they could focus most of their energy on those damn greenskins and beastmen in the west.
As for the Woking Church in Silver Town, they really look down on each other. They only have gold coins but no troops that truly belong to them. The Bann Church has no fear at all!
After settling this matter, Levi was finally relieved of his worries.
Among the remaining enemies nearby, one is the Church of Mask, which can be dealt with by the Church of Woking and Blackfinger. There is also the Church of Sigmar in the town, and the Knights of Baator and the Mage Tower are on guard.
As for the two vampire families still lurking in the dark, there is nothing they can do for the time being.
After 11 families were killed one after another, they had obviously learned enough lessons and refused to show up at all. They could only look for them slowly in the future.
If this is the case, it will be time for our side to launch a new expedition.
The greenskins, beastmen, and ratmen have been fighting in the West for so long, so it’s time for our own side to get involved, right?
So he issued war mobilization and prepared to go to the West immediately.
The subordinates were very excited, and Shudun also enthusiastically expressed that he would continue to follow him.
The three Amazon sisters were very excited at first, but when they heard that the terrain there was mostly mountains, hills and even swamps, they were a little dumbfounded.
The Amazons originally lived in the jungle, so they had no problem coming to the plains. However, it would be a bit difficult for them to let their moa, cold lizards and the like climb mountains and crawl in the mud.
It's not impossible, it's just that the combat power will be significantly reduced.
Their average strength is not enough. If they are weakened like this, they won't be able to help much even if they go.
Li Wei naturally took this into consideration, so in addition to wanting to hire them to patrol near Thorn Town, or go to the Dark Territory, cooperate with Rissa Dilan and Naer, and continue their conquests, he also found them a
New opportunities.
That is to go to the front line over there in the haunted town to alert the ogres to their movements.
The ogres emphasize strength and physique, but speed is not what they are good at, and they are just restrained by the Amazons.
As long as the difference in strength is not too big, they can kill each other simply by flying kites.
The piranha was slightly moved, but in the end the anaconda rejected his proposal.
It's not because traveling hundreds of miles would waste their time, or because they don't want to work for those elves.
Although it seems difficult to communicate, in fact the elves are absolutely not ambiguous when giving money and providing various supplies.
She just felt her own powerlessness and inadequacy again.
The reason why they are in this situation is entirely because they are not strong enough.
It just so happened that they had been wandering outside for a while, and their strength and knowledge had improved, so they might be able to return to their hometown in Lustria.
So after a little discussion, they decided to split into three, with one part staying in Thorn Town, one part going to the Dark Area, and the other part returning to their hometown to report the situation and call for reinforcements.
Naturally, everyone is happy with the result. With Li Wei's current relationship with them, they have become stronger, which will of course be beneficial to him.
Zhang San was a little embarrassed because he couldn't go with him.
It's not that he refuses to take risks with Li Wei. In fact, so far, he has benefited a lot every time he fought side by side with Li Wei.
Just because the Red Brotherhood gave him an important task, he will stay near Thorn Town as a representative.
Lotus also made a big deal for him. If he worked harder, he might even become an agent here and compete with the Woking Church.
Yes, their Red Brotherhood was squeezed a lot by the other side at first, and now they have a backer. Of course, they want to get some back while being reasonable and legal and not affecting Li Wei.
Li Wei didn't care either. Zhang San's troops were still mainly members of the Red Brotherhood. Even though they had advanced many times, they were still not worth mentioning in front of the high elf regular army. With him or without him, it really didn't matter.
the difference.
Next, Li Wei began to determine the candidates for the expedition. In addition to his elite subordinates, Dirge, and Alduin's personal guards, this time the army was still mainly composed of high elves and night elves.
In fact, by now, if we did not pursue powerful war beasts such as phoenixes and dragons, Levi's troops would have almost reached a certain bottleneck.
Ordinary high elf troops, the only line-resistance infantry stronger than the Silver Guards, are the level 5 Phoenix Guards.
However, the Phoenix Guards are generally responsible for guarding major temples and are rarely seen in the regular army. Even under the command of the Dragon Prince at this moment, they only serve as personal guards and honor guards.
The high-ranking replacement for the Silver Helmet Knights is the Dragon Prince Cavalry, whose number is also not large.
Because, similar to the Knights of Bator, each of the Dragon Prince Cavalry is an outstanding nobleman, coupled with dragon-blooded horses and special armor forged from volcanoes, etc., this limits their number.
As for the regular archer troops that were stronger than Avalon, they were simply gone.
Similarly, the night elves were similar. As far as he knew, they only had one powerful hippogryph knight, a level 5 unit, and then they didn't have any powerful regular troops.
After all, compared to the high elves, the night elves are just a smaller subspecies, with much weaker power and potential.
But in other aspects, Levi still made some adjustments.
That is to leave all the cavalry troops led by Simon in Thorn Town.
There was no way, neither he nor they were strong enough. The only charge they were good at was basically useless when facing increasingly stronger enemies.
For example, when we faced the enemy's blood-armored demon before, it took little effort for the opponent to shoot down three Elion cavalry with a big gun.
The huntresses and dryads led by Luna have become more and more powerful. Apart from being unable to attack the enemy's formation head-on, they are completely victorious in all other aspects.
At the same time, because they use mid-range projectile weapons and have an excellent leader, their casualty rate in most battles is very low, which allows them to advance better.
Such a virtuous cycle has resulted in their overall strength being more than double what it was at the beginning.
If Simon and the others stay in Thorn Town, they can still learn and communicate with those Baator knights. If they can make greater progress, they may not have the opportunity to fight again in the future.
But if he continues like this, Levi may have no choice but to count on Malthus.
At least based on his previous observations, the opponent was not only powerful in personal combat, but also very good in commanding the army.
Moreover, the west they are going to is mostly mountains, hills and swamps, which are not suitable for them to fight.
After making these decisions, some were happy and some were disappointed, but no one refuted Li Wei's order. He had already proved his vision and strength with many achievements.
After sending people to say hello to the Underdark Region, Bitao Village and other places, Li Wei planned to officially set off.
But before he could actually move, a slightly cheerful female voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Levi, my divinity has been refined. In addition, in order to make up for you a little, I used my divine power to inspire some little guys nearby to see if you would like it?"
Before she finished speaking, Li Wei discovered the mark of the Lady of the Night Sky on his body, which emitted a bright moonlight, and then a bit of divinity appeared on his hands.
It is somewhat similar to the previous tip, but unlike Lilith, Moonbow has obviously fewer priesthoods and fields, but it still contains very important information.
Prophecies, visions, mysticism, dreams, the moon, stars, and the sky, the above are what she has announced to the public before, and there is no problem with them.
Next is the night elf, which should be her latest acquisition, which means that she has become a racial god.
Judging from the current size of the night elf, as long as no unexpected circumstances occur, she will almost 100% be able to grow into a weak divine power smoothly in the future.
As for whether they can grow into medium divine power like the two racial gods of Sea Elves and Winged Elves, it depends on the future development of Night Elves.
The power of faith is the source of the power of the gods. In addition to the average piety of believers, the most influential factor is naturally the number of believers.
But the last priesthood is a bit outrageous, because it is death!
Levi immediately thought of Vesalun, the Lich God who had also been destroyed in the same kingdom of God and had fled to the main world.
If Yue Gong had not been secretly working hard in the past and finally obtained this priesthood, then she had also obtained a considerable amount of trophies during the beating of Vesharon, which could even allow her to condense it into a complete priesthood.
If it is the latter, then it is no wonder that Velsharon has been silent recently.
It's no wonder that Yue Gong and Lilith can become good best friends. In addition to their really good relationship, their vision and wisdom must also be the reason why they unite together.
Now coupled with the priesthood of Night Elf, Levi has no doubt that as long as she is given enough time, she will definitely become a medium-level divine power.
He didn't know whether it was because he was still busy and reaped the benefits of being in that special demiplane, or whether he simply forgot about it. In short, Yue Gong didn't remind him this time who he was going to give this bit of divinity to.
use.
But Levi, who had already experienced it once, certainly knew that the one he should give the most to was Luna, the Knight of the Moon who was blessed by the Moon Bow.
"What? You actually want to hand over such a precious treasure to me?"
Even Luna, who could maintain a very stable mentality no matter what battles she went through, found it difficult to maintain her composure after facing such a major event.
This is divinity. Among various god sects, basically only the clergy with the strongest strength and highest status can obtain a bit of divinity and become their spokesperson in the main world.
How virtuous and capable is she?
But Levi just smiled and nodded, indicating that she heard correctly.
In fact, he believes that judging from the current battles that are becoming larger and larger and involving higher and higher levels of personnel, it is not completely impossible for him to obtain divinity for Cindy, Donna and others in the future.
.
It's a little difficult, maybe because it doesn't fit them so perfectly.
From the current point of view, it is best for Cindy to use the divinity of Sigma. This great god is very powerful and generous. As long as he can give out things of high enough value, it should not be a big problem.
Elegy believes in Diana, who has weak divine power, which is a little troublesome. For ordinary gods, it is not so easy to get 1 point of divinity. Even the Moonbow Goddess took a little effort.
The most troublesome person may be Donna. Lari is a demigod with a god level of 0. She doesn’t know how much divinity she has.
But actually it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t have to be a perfect fit. At worst, he can give Donna more divinity and win by quantity!
Under Levi's urging again, although Luna was still in disbelief, she finally used this bit of divinity.
After all, Levi also said that even if there is a mage tower covering the energy, it may still attract some powerful beings, so it is better to use it as soon as possible.
So Luna quickly gained the same benefits as Levi before, including 10 times life span, high energy, magic resistance and immunity to mind control, etc.
In addition, I don’t know whether Yue Gong made any special preparations, or whether Luna is really in tune with this divinity.
Almost immediately after using it, in addition to strengthening several of her original skills, she also gained new abilities immediately.
The damage of her moonlight skill has been increased, the cost of the halo skill - Moon Blessing has been greatly reduced, and then she also got a spell to summon the Moon Bow.
As the name suggests, once used, she can summon a set of magical bows and arrows.
She can levitate it beside her and fire it on her own, causing pure magic damage to the target, or she can use it herself.
The former is more convenient and saves effort, while the latter is better because it will be strengthened by her attributes and expertise, and may be more powerful.
Every time she shoots, she needs to consume a little bit of her insignificant magic value to condense the magic arrows. With her current strength, she can easily shoot thirty to fifty times in one breath.
In addition to their very weak defense, the biggest regret of Luna or all huntresses is that the attack range of their moon blades is seriously insufficient.
Now with this trick, it can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings in this aspect.
Levi can only say that it is indeed a power from God. Even just a little bit of divinity can greatly improve the overall strength of mortal things.
At this time, Cindy, Donna and others around her also came up to congratulate Luna. They didn't feel jealous at all.
On the one hand, it's because they don't have that kind of personality. On the other hand, it's also based on long-term understanding and trust. As long as there is someone suitable for them, Li Wei will never be stingy.
At this time, the voice of the tower spirit suddenly rang: "Warning, master, there are a small number of medium-sized flying creatures approaching Thorn Town."
"The opponent's number is roughly 32-35, and their strength is estimated to be level 4. They are expected to arrive in 3 minutes. Would you like to inform the defenders immediately to enter a state of combat readiness?"
Levi suddenly laughed: "No, I think they are the little gifts given to me by the Moon Bow Goddess."
