Sure enough, within two hours, Virginia hurried over.
"Levi, the scouts have seen that a large group of undead are approaching, probably three to four thousand in number!"
Levi, who was practicing magic constancy in the room, couldn't help but temporarily stop his movements after hearing this.
He already has both the flying skill and the specialty of making magical objects. Now he can actually try to make some flying broomsticks or flying magic carpets.
However, when making them, not only cannot they be disturbed, but they often take several hours.
Once you stop midway, there is a huge chance that all your previous efforts will be wasted.
So he did not try it now, but planned to wait until the next matter was over and return to the mage tower before concentrating on the research.
Just now, he just used level 2 magic - activated weapons on ordinary swords and guns, and combined with magic constancy to create some lowest level puppet creations, which could slightly improve his proficiency.
Now it seems that I did it right, otherwise a lot of time and materials would have been wasted by such an interruption.
These undead did not disappoint him, and it was not in vain that he waited for them for several hours.
After waving his hand and putting away the things, Levi immediately issued a warning to his subordinates, and then asked: "How many vampires are there on the other side? Are there any bloodthirsty ghosts waiting for the air force?"
Whether there is an air force or not is a very critical issue for Donna and the others, because it will determine their fighting style.
"There are about five to six hundred ordinary vampires, followed by more than two thousand Tomb Guards, and several hundred black knights and dark werewolves."
"The air force has not been found yet, but I'm afraid there are bloodthirsty manta wolves among them."
Virginia responded quickly, with fear in her voice that even she hadn't noticed yet.
She originally thought that the undead would not dare to offend the temple of the goddess, but now it seems that she has underestimated the boldness of the other party. Not only does the other party dare to come, but there is a high possibility that they will even attack this place!
Hearing these unfavorable news, Li Wei also frowned slightly. The other party really sent out so many troops. It turned out to be a stingy female vampire.
He confirmed again: "Bloodthirsty manta wolves? Approximately how many are there?"
Deep in the heart of every vampire lies the nature of a predator. This nature, coupled with the desire for blood, drives them to drink the blood of their enemies.
This is the price they pay for their power, this is their curse, and it should be their weakness to overcome.
But if one day, this valve is opened and no longer closed, they will begin to be driven by bloodthirsty impulses, sucking blood and devouring flesh and blood without any scruples.
Although their power can increase to a large extent in a short period of time, their wisdom and magical abilities will be greatly weakened.
Their appearance will also transform into a brutal giant beast form, turning into a monster that lies on all fours and runs like a wolf - the bloodthirsty bat wolf.
Just like the bloodthirsty ghosts, they are also the product of the wrong evolution of vampires.
But sometimes, mistakes do not mean weakness.
The Bloodthirsty Ghost is a level 5 unit, while the Bloody Manta Wolf is simply a level 6 unit, the same level as the Bone Dragon.
Although their wings did not grow along with their body size, but instead degenerated behind their elbows, making them no longer able to carry them for flight, they could still use them to glide or jump quite quickly.
If you are attacking an ordinary small town, when a bloodthirsty manta wolf leaps onto the city wall, it often means the beginning of a massacre.
Similarly, this also slightly solved some of Li Wei's previous doubts.
Those female vampires probably did not personally enchant all the dark werewolves, they just controlled the bloodthirsty bat wolves in disguise.
Those werewolves worship power, and even more so their powerful kin. Those bloodthirsty bat wolves do look like powerful werewolves in appearance. They are usually covered in long hair, but they only have a pair of mutated small wings at their elbows.
"The rangers found nearly 20 bloodthirsty manta wolves, but it is not ruled out that there are more."
Li Wei nodded slightly. This number was quite acceptable. After all, they still occupied a favorable terrain, and the opponent's most powerful charging ability could not play any role.
But, should we let Donna take off with the Sky Slayer?
After careful consideration, Levi finally gave up the idea.
The other air force of the opponent is not found now, but it does not necessarily mean that it does not exist, and it is really not a good idea to engage in aerial combat with vampires in the dark.
So while notifying his subordinates to prepare for war and using various summoning magics, Levi also asked Virginia to continue to strengthen illusion magic.
If our side wins the battle in the end but loses the Sky Slayers, it will still be a blood loss.
Even though their price is not cheap, since each Skyslayer has to be shipped from the high elves' homeland - Ulthuan Circle, the quantity is really not that much.
Of course, he couldn't completely count on the illusion. The supervisors would also bring some heavenly creatures and the tigresses to defend the position closest to the Sky Slayer.
Once the illusion fails or any other unexpected situation occurs, they will do their best to defend.
The only good thing is that those high platforms are behind the temple, still some distance away.
Under normal circumstances, even if the vampires surrounded the entire temple, they would not run that far.
As for Luna and the Huntresses who are still hiding in the woods, they should not go out for the time being. When the war situation changes, maybe they can give each other an unexpected surprise.
Naturally, Virginia agreed wholeheartedly, because she was still a little afraid that Li Wei and the others would run away directly. With the existence of such a powerful mage, this was not completely impossible.
After losing their help, the temple would probably be in ruins after tonight. Now of course she would try her best to meet all his demands.
"Oh, by the way, does the temple have a no-fly barrier?"
Virginia shook her head: "Sorry, no."
There are only two main enemies of the goddess. The first is her powerful and evil sister-the goddess of the night, Shar.
This goddess who makes decisions and then acts will kill people directly if she doesn't make a move. It doesn't make any difference whether the temple has a no-fly barrier or not.
Next is Maura, who is seriously opposed to the goddess in her attitude towards beastmen.
I don’t know why, but in theory it is the lord of all beasts, but in fact only those beastmen walking or running on land choose to worship or believe in it.
Basically few of the harpies flying in the sky and those branches of beastmen in the sea would worship him.
In this case, there is no need to decorate the temple.
Levi nodded, although he was a little regretful, there was nothing he could do.
If things really come to that point, let Bill and the others take action.
Although the Sky Slayer is not small in size, if dozens of bear-headed envoys join forces, they can still be successfully teleported away.
"However, we have sent an emergency signal for help to our wood elf friends nearby. They will definitely come as soon as possible."
This is good news. Although the number of wood elves is small, their average strength has always been relatively strong, especially the tree people, who are perfect cannon fodder.
Then she took out two more scrolls from the space ring: "Li Wei, this is the collection of our temple's chief priest. In order to thank you for escorting us all the way, I hope you can accept it."
Levi raised his eyebrows, and he could tell at a glance that it was a scroll recording magic.
What is this, Virginia's apology?
But no matter what he thought in his heart, he still took it with a smile and expressed his gratitude.
Not to mention, these two magics are indeed very suitable for the current situation.
One is the third-level magic - Moonlight Sword. Once used, he will create a sword-like weapon completely condensed by moonlight out of thin air.
It can be a long sword, a short sword or a rapier, etc. Depending on the size of the body, it will cost him different amounts of magic.
It can be granted to others for use. When attacking, it will be regarded as a pure energy weapon of blue quality, so it can ignore most ordinary armor and can attack incorporeal creatures such as ghosts.
The second one is called Moonlight Wall, and its effect is similar to the Fire Wall spell. All evil creatures trying to pass through it will be harmed.
The biggest advantage of both of them is that they can cause extra damage to undead creatures.
The disadvantage is that it can only be used at night, or under the shroud of magical moonlight, and it has minimal effect on the good camp.
This is what Levi has seen, and he doesn't know how many magics are specifically targeted at the undead.
It can only be said that although the undead have extremely obvious advantages, there are also many things that can restrain them.
Regardless of whether they are in the good or evil camp, almost every god has one or two ways to deal with them.
As a series of sirens echoed inside the temple, everyone soon began to defend each entrance.
Priests, druids, and the winged serpent lovethorns summoned by Levi all began to cast various auxiliary magics.
At the same time, the magic circles also rose up. Under its influence, the casting speed, casting consumption, magic duration, mana recovery speed, etc. of all magic system units have changed to varying degrees.
For Levi or Cindy, the improvement in overall combat effectiveness is actually not high, but for ordinary priests, the effect is still quite obvious.
Coupled with the passive aura of the Spirit Fox, their battery life will be greatly improved.
Then I don’t know what power the temple used. In short, the moon in the sky seemed to pour a little bit of energy downwards, like a huge, bell-shaped energy shield, covering the entire temple. You can tell at a glance that this
It can greatly strengthen its defense.
Shudun also began to direct his men to arrange their troops and prepare for battle.
The two hero-level units behind him began to use the rune magic unique to the dwarves.
He has also been fighting side by side with Li Wei for quite some time. Although there were occasional twists and turns along the way, he basically gained a lot every time and suffered very little losses.
Under this situation, his subordinates also grew up rapidly, and currently there are two rune blacksmith heroes.
Compared with the magic of humans or elves, the types of rune magic of dwarves are very very few, maybe a dozen in total, but they are all extremely practical.
For example, now, they mainly cast two types of range-based magic: oath and steel runes that can increase defense, and stove and home runes that can greatly increase resistance to fear.
Many high-level monsters, especially those that are larger or more ferocious in appearance, often have a high chance of spreading fear or other similar skills.
Undead monsters have a higher chance of doing this, so they are prepared in advance.
At this time, the roars of the werewolves in the distance were getting closer, and at the same time there was the sound of neat footsteps, as if thousands of undead were marching to the same rhythm.
Being so well-trained has caused many priests in the temple to change their colors slightly.
On the other hand, the expressions of the wood elves were still stern, and many of the beastmen who had surrendered to the temple were even more excited about the coming battle.
This scene was very interesting to Levi, and he began to have a guess. Perhaps these priests had hardly encountered battles before?
Soon, thousands of undead rushed up the hillside. Thanks to the bright moonlight tonight, Li Wei really saw those bloodthirsty bat wolves.
Almost at the same time, he immediately understood why Virginia had that expression just now.
Because these guys are ridiculously big, they stand on all fours like gorillas, with extremely developed forelimbs. Their big fists are one meter in diameter, their forearms are more than two meters long, and their height is almost three stories high.
There was no need to jump at all, they could easily reach Donna and the others as long as they raised their hands.
In their huge open mouths, every fang can be pulled out and used as a short sword.
Such a terrifying giant beast is a monster born for war and killing.
That is to say, they are now taking advantage of the temple's geographical location and magic, so they can still have some confidence.
If the battle was on flat ground, Li Wei seriously doubted that even his own defensive formation would be easily destroyed.
Even with his bonus, the attributes of the Silver Guards are far superior to those of the same level of troops, but it is still difficult to match such an enemy.
Because in many battles, not only basic attributes such as attack and defense are looked at, but also strength, weight, etc.
When the gap between the two sides is large, they may be easily repelled or knocked away. Even if they are full of martial arts, it will be difficult to truly display them.
Resistance to charges and similar skills can improve this aspect to a certain extent, but ultimately they cannot completely make up for the fundamental gap.
Now it seems that, excluding himself, Cindy and other legal units, the only person who can really effectively fight against these big guys in frontal combat is Elegy.
She weighs about a hundred pounds, plus weapons and armor, as well as earth element gems to strengthen her, which can basically be equivalent to about two tons when she is knocked back and other effects.
Coupled with her superb martial arts, she should not be knocked away by the opponent at will.
However, the one who can really maximize the effect of unearthed elemental gems should be Bayoru.
As a Holai Elephant, he might weigh five to six hundred pounds under normal body shape, but his strength is far inferior to that of Elegy.
Next is Alduin. As a dragon, he weighs several hundred kilograms.
Unfortunately, limited by his profession, he can only be used as a human shield most of the time. In terms of enemy-killing efficiency, he is much worse than Elegy.
When she saw them, even Lucia's expression became a little cautious: "Levi, I have never heard of vampires from the Lamia family creating and driving them before."
Li Wei nodded slightly: "Me neither, this may be their hidden power."
"Now it seems that there is something very attractive to them in the Judong Deep Pit, and they want to gain an advantage in the next battle even if they expose it."
Lucia frowned a little. In the past thousands of years, they have always looked soft and weak, using the charm of aliens as a help.
She couldn't figure it out for a while, what on earth could make the other party willing to spend such a high price?
But suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and she remembered the place where the Silver Blood Army had been, the mountains called "The Glory of Nagash".
Nagash is considered the true inventor and founder of the vampires in the overworld.
Nagash created an "elixir of life" and gave it to his most loyal lieutenant, counselor, apprentice and subordinate, Arkhan the Black.
Black Arkhan also used the so-called "elixir of life" to "save" his dying lover, Neferata, the queen of the Lamia family, and made her the original ancestor of vampires.
The queen then continued to transform her husband, brother, general, priest, etc., a total of eight people, who together formed the first generation of vampires.
The four well-known existing vampire clans, the beast-like Streig clan, the Greenblood clan who was exiled to Cathay, and many other clans' ancestors were actually acquaintances of this queen.
This is also one of the reasons why the vampires of the Lamia family have bewitched many people and caused many disasters, but they have still not been killed.
In addition to being really good at hiding, she also has a lot of supporters or guardians.
Once you offend her, it means that you will be hunted down by almost all the vampires in the entire main world.
Of course, that was the beginning.
After the population of mortal races such as humans, elves and dwarves increased rapidly, and magic and divine arts rapidly became popular, she was also forced to disappear.
The power of other families also gradually fell apart, and some of the ancestors were even killed by humans. The threat in this area was also greatly reduced.
The Vampire Queen had heard of, seen, and even worked with and fought against Nagash.
So she would naturally know that after Nagash tried to invade the Sigma Empire, and was then crushed by the God of War, Sigma, who had not yet become a god, and was killed by the Egyptian pantheon, he left behind nine volumes of human skin.
and a mysterious book made of human blood.
It's called "Nine Volumes of Nagash".
It records countless knowledge about necromancy and death. They are the supreme classics of vampires, lichs and necromancers, and they are also powerful magic weapons.
Each volume taken out individually is a legendary treasure, and together it is comparable to a real artifact.
Except for the ninth volume, which Black Arkhan clearly obtained, the other eight volumes have long since been lost in the dust of history, without a trace.
The vampire queen's intention seems to be very obvious.
The mountains where the Silver Blood Army stayed before were exactly where Nagash stayed before his death.
They had previously driven the Silver Blood Army, almost certainly hoping to search for Nagash's relics and even the Nine Volumes of Nagash.
The reason why it is said to be a certain death is because as a strong man who single-handedly created the entire race of vampires and directly caused the rapid decline of the Egyptian pantheon, he naturally has the ability to be resurrected continuously.
Now they are heading to the West with such great fanfare that they are no longer afraid of being noticed by the forces along the way. It is obvious that they have enough motivation and confidence.
They probably think that once this is successful, they will no longer be forced to hide behind the scenes, but will have the qualification to stand in front of others.
Apart from Dracula's unreliable plan to become a god, what else can give them this confidence? Of course, it can only be because of the nine volumes of Nagash.
"Levi, could it be that one?"
Lucia didn't say the other person's name completely, she just made a mouth shape.
Li Wei nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed possible.
If it were said that a few days ago, he simply had some similar speculations about the many abnormal actions of the Silver Blood Army.
But after obtaining the divinity of the goddess Lilith and absorbing a lot of knowledge from it, he became more and more suspicious of the other party's reason for staying in those mountains.
Now that the vampires of the Lamia family appeared so openly, it directly confirmed his suspicion.
But he still doesn't know yet whether there is a conspiracy of Black Arkhan.
Since Nagash's last death, he has disappeared with Volume 9, and has not even gone to meet the vampire queen.
There are different opinions from the outside world, but according to the information of the goddess Lilith, although Black Arkhan participated in the creation of the vampire race, not all the ancestors liked him. He was even killed once by the ancestor of the blood dragon.
The reason is that he became the lover of the vampire queen because after being defeated and captured in a certain battle, he hooked up with the queen in prison, and later joined forces with the queen to murder her husband.
Li Wei could only say that your circle is really chaotic.
Therefore, Black Arkhan is likely to be afraid of the unabashed hostility of the Blood Dragon Ancestor towards him, and will not make peace with the Vampire Queen.
In addition, Goddess Lilith also has two little tidbits of news.
First of all, although Black Arkhan became the lover of the Vampire Queen, at that time he had become an undead creature-a lich, the kind without a chick.
The Vampire Queen seemed to only want to gain knowledge and power from him. In addition, one was a queen and the other was a prisoner. The huge difference in status seemed to bring strange stimulation to the queen, so she finally developed a relationship with him.
A spiritual lover.
But no one is sure how sincere this combination of interests is and how long it can last.
The second tidbit is that the vampire queen seems to be a lesbian. She has several wives within the Lamia family.
Under this situation, if Black Arkhan had any brains, it seemed that he would not be able to make peace with her, because the other party would probably not miss the old relationship at all and only want to kill people and seize the treasure.
But no matter what conspiracy Black-Arkhan or the Vampire Queen has, they are both legendary level powerhouses.
Coupled with the commotion of the beastmen over there, it is almost certain that Maura is involved, and the subsequent battles involved in the Dirty Pit will become increasingly escalating, and he also needs to make some preparations in advance.
As the undead gradually approached, when they were several hundred meters away, they finally slowly stopped, and a proud female voice also sounded.
"Listen to the humans and elves in front of you. Hand over those who dare to provoke us, especially that hateful mage. Then maybe in the name of the Lamia family, we can reluctantly forgive you for your crime of harboring."
Li Wei feels a little interesting. Now that he has reached this point, he still wants to try to divide himself?
It is said that the vampires of the Lamia family not only have beautiful appearance, but also have extraordinary intelligence, so they can better control men of other races.
But now it seems that it is nothing more than that.
Or does she just want to show off her strength in this way?
But no matter what, of course they will not waver in the slightest.
Putting aside the confrontation between the living and the dead, if Virginia and others retreated because of this when the other party's troops came to the city, it would be an embarrassment to the goddess she believed in.
So Virginia scolded the other party without hesitation: "Despicable vampire, you dare to offend the temple of my god. You should beg for our forgiveness!"
Li Wei also laughed: "How about you come forward first and let us meet?"
He glanced back and forth several times, but still couldn't find the other party's true identity. Apparently she might have used some kind of special magic to only transmit her voice but hide her location.
The female vampire was obviously not surprised by this, and she had no intention of paying attention to Levi. Most of the undead's combat effectiveness needed to be maintained by high-level vampires or necromancers.
If they, as leaders and commanders, were the first to die in battle, those low- and mid-level undead who mostly had no intelligence and only had hatred for the living and killing instincts would actually be able to exert combat effectiveness that would be reduced by at least several percent. She could
Not that stupid.
Therefore, the two sides did not talk for a moment, and the undead immediately began to attack in large numbers.
Twenty or so bloodthirsty bat wolves were the first to look up to the sky and roar, and then the werewolves also chose to follow, and for a while, wisps of moonlight that were almost visible to the naked eye began to fall from the sky and fall on them.
Their size immediately expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their strength was obviously strengthened.
Whether they are vampires or werewolves, they can use the power of the moonlight to strengthen themselves, just like the night elves or the priests of Selun. This time the two sides can be regarded as equals.
Led by the bloodthirsty bat wolves, a large number of beastly enemies took the lead in launching a charge.
Thousands of barren tomb guards followed closely behind, arranged in multiple square formations, and marched together in neat steps.
As the opponent's core troops, they have a large number of sword and shield types, which will be more able to restrain Donna's arrow rain.
In fact, the undead with some strength will have such a configuration, because there is an extreme lack of long-range units. When fighting many enemies, they will be shot by the opponent for several rounds in vain. They will naturally strengthen their defense in this regard.
So Donna turned to leading the archers to try to snipe the bloodthirsty bat wolves.
Although they are very strong, many of the Avalons have already advanced to level 5, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
The one faster than her is Levi's Chain Lightning (Holy Version).
The thick-wristed Razer flew out of his hand, instantly spanning a distance of hundreds of meters and hitting the first barren guard.
Then a slightly white electric light flashed, and within a few seconds it twisted its body and jumped fifty or sixty meters, also affecting dozens of undead.
This was also the first time that Levi officially used this magic on such a battlefield. How should I put it, he was a little disappointed.
It looks a bit cool, but the actual damage caused may not be much stronger than two fireballs.
Even if he used holy power to transform it into a holy magic that would do more damage to evil reputation, except for the first target who was instantly killed on the spot, most of the rest were only injured but not dead.
However, its deterrence is very strong, because anyone with a little knowledge knows that this is a level 6 magic that has been strengthened in some way.
Therefore, the morale of Virginia and the priests of the temple was boosted for a while.
The priests of the temple also used their respective powers, and dozens of moonlight walls were the first to light up, blocking the werewolves' charge.
The damage caused is secondary, but the light they emit actually illuminates a small half of the battlefield, which will be more beneficial to one's own side in the battle later.
After the female vampire in the distance saw his appearance, she unusually did not immediately provoke him. Instead, she hid herself among the many vampire swordsmen before speaking again.
"You dare to offend the mage of our Lamia family? You will regret this, we"
Before she could finish her words, Donna had already shouted, leading Avalon and the Sky Eagle Marksman, etc., to project the first wave of deadly arrows.
Two bloodthirsty bat wolves were shot to death on the spot, and dozens of affected werewolves were killed or injured. This was the most beneficial response and counterattack against the undead.
The female vampire was immediately furious, but she didn't dare to say anything for a while, and just stepped back further and further.
Although she is also a hero-level unit, she is really not as good as the Bloodthirsty Manta Wolf in terms of health and defense. She has never been a vampire who is good at frontal combat.
If the opponent can kill them instantly, he can also kill her instantly!
