Since the troops had suffered losses in many previous battles, and the tree stumps and celestial beings had left one after another this time, the size of Li Wei's troops now seemed much smaller than before.
In addition, Donna and others are still flying high in the sky, and Luna is leading a large number of huntresses and dryads, who are elusive and hiding in various shadows or blind spots in the line of sight.
This leaves Levi's army, at first glance, with only a few hundred Silver Guards left, plus a small number of priests and druids, as well as heroic units such as Cindy and Dirge.
But there are advantages to this.
That is, all kinds of enemies on the road will no longer run away as easily as before when they see them. Instead, they will even dare to take the initiative to attack.
Although Maura was defeated in the Dirty Pit, the call he initiated still seems to be affecting the beastmen in a large area.
Even though the battle there has ended, there still seems to be a large number of beastmen heading in that direction.
Therefore, we will encounter them, other aboriginals or God-chosen heroes very frequently.
At this time, Levi did not let Donna take action because he wanted to see the power of the Death Guards in actual combat.
Similarly, Alyssa, Sefa, and even Maldis also wanted to test their new equipment.
The difference is that the former two want to try out the flying magic carpet, while the latter want to try out the lance.
She was not polite at all to Li Wei's gift, she put it away directly, and soon showed her superb marksmanship on the battlefield.
He even saw Levi nodding repeatedly. Not only did Maltis know how to use this weapon, he even felt that she was no worse at using it than Reiner.
As for the flying magic carpet, it goes without saying that its flexibility and maneuverability are beyond the comparison of ordinary mounts.
After several battles, Li Wei gradually understood the general characteristics of these death guards.
Not only are they very useful, enemies often notice them first and tend to attack them first.
No matter how powerful they are, at least based on their size, the enemy will subconsciously consider them to be extremely threatening.
It can be said that they can perfectly attract the enemy's hatred and are the best cannon fodder.
At the same time, he also roughly figured out that soul crystals of different qualities would indeed have a slight impact on the combat effectiveness of the Death Guards.
It is specifically reflected in its fighting enthusiasm, frequency of dodging and parrying, etc.
But the margin is actually very small. If it is a one-on-one fight, it is not enough to give one side a big advantage.
Unfortunately, they are quite difficult to collect.
Along the way, they killed at least 1,300 to 400 low- and mid-level beastmen. As a result, Li Wei only harvested less than 30 soul crystals in total.
I don't know if the strength of these beastmen is too low, or if Nagash's requirements are too high, it doesn't look down on any beastmen below level 3 at all.
Level 3-4 beastmen can only collect soul fragments. They need to collect multiple pieces before they can be pieced together into a complete crystal, which is still elementary.
Only level 5 tauren can contribute intermediate-level fragments.
Following this principle, if you want to obtain high-level soul crystals and create a level 7 Sphinx, wouldn't you have to kill multiple level 6 and level 7 enemies first?
Even if you have a treasure like the Nine Scrolls of Nagash, you can't take shortcuts so smoothly.
However, he had some doubts. Did Nagash really only know these types of Death Guards, and all of them were recorded in this volume by coincidence?
This is much smaller than the types of God Guards created by the Tomb Kings.
Although according to Lilith, Nagash seems to have no emotional intelligence, there is no doubt about his wisdom and magical talents.
If it were a different place, Levi felt that with Nagashina's even somewhat arrogant pride, he would either not copy, or if he wanted to copy, he would have to copy a set that was more numerous and stronger than the original to prove his strength.
But this is just his speculation. We will not know the details until we get other volumes. I hope Nagash will not disappoint him.
Just as she was thinking about it, Luna suddenly sent a message saying that there was a battle ahead and some beastmen were attacking humans.
In fact, they had encountered similar battles once or twice on the road. There were aboriginals and God-chosen heroes, so Luna was already used to it.
But this time it was slightly different, because judging from the other party's attire, it seemed that they were from the same Cathay troops as Zhou Miyin, and the other party also carried a lot of oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages.
This is already very obvious. This is probably not an ordinary army, but a caravan from Cathay.
Speaking of which, these guys are really extraordinary. From the Kingdom of Cathay to this area, it is more than a thousand miles away?
Now that you have encountered it, let’s help.
Naturally, the subordinates had no objections, and Sonia and Sefa were also very interested, because the Cathay Dynasty was really famous.
Like the Tomb Kings, he is an ancient dynasty that has been established for a very long time and possesses splendid culture, advanced technology and powerful military power.
Different from the kings competing for hegemony among the Tomb Kings, the Cathay Dynasty almost always maintains a unified state, constantly conquering the east and west, oppressing many surrounding countries to the point of breathlessness.
After what Nagash did during his lifetime, the strength of the Egyptian gods and the Tomb Kings plummeted, and now the number of the undead far outnumbered the living.
Since then, the Kingdom of Cathay has naturally become recognized as the strongest and oldest human nation.
Although it is a human country, when other races and forces refer to them, they basically have the same attitude towards the entire high elves.
As for Sefa and the others, almost every Cathay caravan will carry some special goods from the East, as well as some magic items that are very novel to them, so they don't want to miss this opportunity.
Since Luna had already conducted preliminary reconnaissance, the number of attacking caravan beastmen was less than a thousand.
Although there are some tauren and two giants among them, there are no flying units. The threat to them is very low, and there is no need for Donna to take action.
Levi asked Luna to lead the huntresses and dryads to attack first, and then he, Cindy, Dirge, and Sally rushed to support first.
Some of them have flying mounts, some are called magic flying carpets, and they are all very fast.
The follow-up troops were temporarily put under the command of Alduin and Alyssa. Although one of them was a combat hero and the other was not a hero at all, Levi still issued such a mission.
There's nothing I can do about it, it's really because their sense of existence has become weaker and weaker recently.
He is trying to tap their potential in other areas, otherwise they may become more and more marginalized in the future.
Alduin is still a little unhappy. As a bronze dragonborn + paladin, he really only likes to fight against evil. It would be too troublesome to bring some personal guards who are also dragonmen. Commanding the troops or something like that would be too troublesome.
But Alyssa was overjoyed, because from Lord Levi's recent attitudes, she could see that he was constantly giving her new opportunities!
Levi didn't pay much attention to their expressions behind him, because he had already released a big slap to protect his body, and led several women straight to the battlefield.
Still some distance away, Sally and Sefa had already released fireball spells, and Sonia began to throw down some blazing glue to fuel the fire.
Levi and Cindy both cast summoning magic, and then began to use various restrictive magics, such as sacred glaciers, spider webs, black tentacles, etc., to create chaos among the beastmen and restrain the stronger beastmen among them.
.
Forget about other things, there are three giants among them, they should all be 6th level soldiers.
The weapons in their hands seemed to be small trees pulled up from the roadside. Often, with one stick, at least three or five jade warriors would fly into the sky.
Those who vomited blood while flying were considered lucky. Those who were even more unlucky were already motionless while they were still in mid-air because they were instantly killed!
Several giant shadow elements were disguised as ordinary medium-sized elements, quietly wandering around the edge of the battlefield, waiting for opportunities to move.
For beastmen of this size, even if there are no heroic units such as beast kings or shamans, there must be other leaders.
Their mission is to find each other and then assassinate them.
Although their body shapes became very ordinary after using their special abilities, their various abilities were hardly affected at all and were still at level 6.
Once they find their target, lower-level hero units may not be able to withstand their onslaught.
Under Levi's instruction, Sally and Sefa followed him and began to fly towards the central area together, wanting to prioritize the lives of important people in the caravan.
When they got closer, they saw that this group of caravans didn't know if they didn't hire many guards in the first place, or they had encountered several battles on the road, so now they only had less than 200 people in total.
If they had arrived a quarter of an hour later, they might have only seen some cold corpses.
Almost at the same time, Luna also led her little sisters to fight out of the nearby forest and attack directly on the back of the beastman.
This group of beastmen may not be robbing humans for the first time, so they actually have some horned beasts that use bows and arrows as weapons. For them, they are still a bit of a threat, and they are the enemies that need to be eliminated first.
Seeing the sudden reinforcements, the besieged Cathay caravan was overjoyed.
A guy with a big beard and dressed as a military attache immediately opened his voice and shouted: "Master Elf over there, we are a caravan from Cathay. Thank you very much for lending a helping hand. Once we repel these damn...
After the beasts, we will be grateful!"
Li Wei nodded slightly, feeling very comfortable hearing these words.
If that's the case, then you should spend a little money.
Light flashed, and dozens of bear-headed envoys headed by Bill appeared at the same time, starting with a series of monster immobilization techniques.
Bill himself even threw a Sinful Retribution, and was very lucky to get a tauren into internal strife, and gave the giant next to him an ax with his backhand.
Although the giant was a little surprised, it was not someone to be trifled with. He immediately responded with a heavy punch, and soon the two of them were fighting together, which made the caravan guards in this direction relax a little.
Considering that they are generally at level 3, with occasional level 4 troops mixed in, it is really too difficult to fight against the giants.
Seeing this, Li Wei also came to join in the fun. He no longer liked ordinary low-level beastmen and had little experience in killing them, so he was more willing to leave them to his subordinates.
But for giants, that's different.
For a moment, the arrows of holy power flew downward like rain. This magic is specifically aimed at evil creatures. Even if there is some accidental damage occasionally, it is not a big problem. It is just suitable for such a chaotic battlefield.
Now the stupidity of the giant was revealed. Even though there were enemies constantly attacking above it, and the tauren recovered from the magic effect quickly, it still insisted on fighting with the opponent.
So after receiving several heavy punches in succession and being seriously injured, the tauren also became angry, so they ignored the attacks above their heads and began to fight desperately.
This scene almost made Levi laugh. Probably only someone as stupid as a beastman can maximize the effect of this magic, right?
But no matter what, this did greatly benefit his battle. It didn't take long before he had both of them in one pot.
This even made him feel a little emotional. As his strength continued to improve, now, even giants could be killed by him so easily?
When the giant's huge and heavy body fell backwards, even crushing five or six low-level beastmen to death, the surrounding caravan guards were stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of cheers, because they finally saw
Hope to live!
