After his subordinates left, Levi found a quiet place to sort out his thoughts while waiting for Khalida to deliver the materials.
He didn't have to wait long. In less than five minutes, he received the materials he had agreed on and several architectural drawings.
After looking through it for a while, Li Wei was very satisfied.
Pegasus, as its name suggests, is a war horse with wings.
It is only at level 3. It only has one hoof strike, plus a detection camp. Its combat effectiveness is very tight. It is basically about the same, not to mention being at the bottom of the same level.
If it's a head-on battle, just bring in a Jade Halberdier or a Silver Guard and defeat it in minutes.
But if it is paired with an excellent knight, it will be completely different. Do you understand the value of the flying cavalry?
In addition, their appearance is also very outstanding, and they can understand many common languages. They are considered a relatively intelligent species, so they are very popular among the indigenous people and the chosen heroes.
Basically, they are not available in stores, they can only be found in auction houses. Basically, each Pegasus egg starts at 10 gold coins.
Of course, they also have certain requirements for their master, and they will only be loyal to their master if the other party is at least a neutral or good camp.
If they are from the evil camp, even if they are forced by the other party's pressure, they will surrender temporarily, but once they seize the opportunity, they will start running away as soon as possible. They still have this wisdom.
As for the Silver Pegasus, it is one of its advanced varieties. In addition to all the attributes being improved, they also have a special skill - the caster's nemesis.
If an enemy unit within a certain distance wants to release magic, its required magic value will be consumed +2.
Although it seems inconspicuous, this is a passive halo-type ability. A level 4 silver pegasus can cover up to 4 enemy units within a radius of 16 meters whose strength does not exceed it.
Well, it's really not of much use. If they can successfully break into such a close distance from the enemy's French troops, then the battle is basically almost over.
But in addition, they also have improved magic resistance and have purification skills, which is more powerful.
Of course, while their strength has been significantly improved, their prices are also more expensive, basically double.
Adding up these drawings, Levi can recruit more than 30 animals every week.
Although recruiting them requires special light-attribute magic crystals and gold coins, which is quite expensive, overall, if he is willing to sell them to others, he can easily earn a few hundred gold coins every week.
However, compared to hippogryphs, these two Pegasus are much inferior.
These flying creatures, which have antlers on their foreheads, look more like deers in their hindquarters, and have huge wings, are all level 5. It is said that they even dare to fight against giant dragons bravely.
Regardless of the final outcome of the fight, their courage alone is already better than most intelligent creatures.
The hippogryph itself does not have many special abilities. Its biggest feature is that it is as fast as the wind and flies extremely fast. Then it has wild strength, which can improve its attack power and armor-breaking ability.
You can tell by looking at their appearance. Whether it's sharp claws or a giant eagle-like beak, they can easily penetrate ordinary armor.
However, their own defenses are relatively weak, and they do not have any magical abilities, so engaging in close combat with the enemy is not a particularly smart approach.
What is really suitable for them should be to become mounts for archers or spellcasters.
This is what the night elves did, and Levi plans to do the same.
He had already asked Luna to choose some girls and try to use the flying leopards sent by the Moon Bow Goddess as mounts.
They also performed very well and have always been the bodyguards of Donna and Sky Slayer.
It just so happens that they, who have received sufficient training, can be replaced by more excellent hippogryphs.
Although the number of hippogryphs is much smaller than that of Pegasus, they are still extremely valuable.
Khalida didn't give him architectural drawings, she simply gave him a small mountain of gold. She was indeed a well-known rich woman.
It's a pity that they are still just blueprints. Even if he will use the magic of Lahmia City later to send the things to Thorn Town and other places as soon as possible, it will still take a certain amount of time to truly transform them into actual combat effectiveness.
time.
Not only did he think of the Asgard in Cathay again, but if he could carry that thing around with him, he could use it directly no matter what kind of drawings he got!
But despite this, he was very satisfied.
After putting away a few drawings, he began to make the death guards that Khalida needed.
Although Khalida could choose any kind, this was the first time the two parties were trading. In order to show his sincerity and to strengthen his attraction to her, he naturally gave her a little of each kind, and he also wanted to create as many as possible.
The best Death Guard.
I don’t know if it was because he had made it more often, but Levi felt he was more proficient, and he completed the scheduled task in a shorter time.
Taking advantage of this moment, he made several more magic flying carpets.
Although Sally and Alyssa already have them, with the continuous fighting, the strength of other blood elf mages has gradually improved, and they will also need them in the future.
And even if it is not used temporarily, he can still sell it for money or exchange it for some important materials.
After finishing this, Levi's eyes gradually shifted to another item.
That special long sword from the Cathay Caravan, do you want to try to transform it into a flying prop?
Facts have proved that Levi is still very talented when it comes to making magic items.
Even though it was the first time to make a flying prop with this shape, he was still a great success.
But he felt that he might have been deceived by the caravan leader, or that the other party had been deceived by others.
Because except for the different shape of this flying sword and the magic flying carpet, the effect is basically the same, and it is far less powerful than the other party boasts.
The only special thing is probably that when a spellcaster is riding on the flying sword, if he casts magic, there is a 35% chance of spending an additional 60 magic points each time, thereby additionally expelling all friendly forces within a diameter of 30 meters.
Demonic effect.
(Exorcise evil spirits, instantly recover from fear, and increase resistance to fear effects)
The range is not small, and it does not limit the level of magic. If necessary, Levi can continuously cast the lowest level 0 magic just to brush this BUFF on his own troops.
In addition, it also has the function of amplification, which can be used by multiple people at the same time.
As for other windproof and fixed functions, they are all basic functions.
Of course, the most important thing is that it looks really handsome.
So when Levi took off in the city early the next morning on this flying sword, the aborigines might have been okay, but the other God-chosen heroes who witnessed this scene were all in a collective rage.
Many people even asked the price on the spot and wanted to buy it.
There are not only legal units among them, but also some warriors who join in the fun. Obviously, it attracts them all equally.
In fact, Levi doesn't mind selling if the price is right.
Although this thing looks very handsome, except for the additional characteristics, whether it is speed, flexibility, or comfort, it is far inferior to the griffin.
Moreover, in critical moments, griffins can still fight, but flying swords cannot do this.
It's a pity that these guys can't come up with anything valuable for a while. Levi can make those gods guards himself, so why do he need them?
But at least his goal has been achieved. If there are good things in the future, I believe many people will think of him first.
And he felt that what they were interested in might not be the attributes of the flying sword itself, but just its very oriental shape.
Then he can find some other Cathay-style long swords and sell them specifically to them. This is also a way to make money.
Similarly, some smart people among them have thought of this, and they very smartly chose to make reservations with Levi.
There are even some who are impatient and want to pay part of the deposit immediately.
But Li Wei hadn't even determined the price yet, so it was naturally impossible to collect the money first. He just promised them that if he wanted to sell it, he would contact them as soon as possible.
After adding friends one after another, the commotion was quickly calmed down.
Because Khalida has begun to command the army and is preparing to march north to conquer the Silver Blood Army entrenched in the mountains.
If it is a mortal army, it may take a little time to recruit.
But for those guys who have been dead for who knows how many years, the meaning of their existence, apart from revenge on Nagash who does not know whether he will be resurrected again, is only loyalty to the Tomb Kings.
.
First there were thousands of skeleton soldiers, but unlike the regular undead skeleton soldiers, in addition to those holding spears and swords and shields, these guys also had at least a thousand holding bows and arrows.
The kings of the ancient tombs are known as the kings of the group, but their death dates may differ by thousands of years.
The popular conventional fighting methods in each era are different, and it may even be simply due to different preferences, so almost every Tomb King has a different fighting style and army configuration.
Chariots, magic, constructs, etc., to name a few.
Khalida, the warrior queen, is best at and loves the art of bow and arrow.
Then there are a large number of tomb guards. Basically, the rotten flesh on their bodies has not been completely weathered, so they are more resistant to beatings and their strength is slightly stronger. There are about two thousand in number.
Then there are the graveyard knights that Khalida loves most, and there are also nearly a thousand of them.
Although these level 5 troops, nicknamed "skinny snakes" by the God's Chosen Heroes, are very weak among the same level, they are almost the same if they are not at the bottom.
But they are level 5 troops after all, and the basic attributes are there. Being able to take out so many at once is enough to show the strength of Khalida's background.
In addition to using halberds, most of them are also equipped with fire-breathing dragon staffs from Cathay and venom staffs modified from Lahmia City.
In this way, whether they are dealing with the undead or other living beings, they will have stronger combat effectiveness.
Then there are the jackal-type god guards that are basically common to all tomb factions, and there are about three hundred of them.
Half of them are also holding giant bows. The arrows they use are basically equivalent to the short spears used by humans. One look at them shows that their lethality is definitely not low.
Then there is a new variety that Khalida has never shown to the public before.
They were three giants that were more than ten meters tall, showing a bloated, super giant skeleton shape, and they also used bows and arrows as weapons.
Their arrows are even larger, thicker than ordinary people's arms. They can be considered siege equipment.
Li Wei felt that if they could wield a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and cooperate with the tomb guards and others, they would definitely be able to exert extraordinary combat effectiveness in plain battles.
But Khalida still let them use bows and arrows, and didn't even equip them with a spare weapon. It can only be said that she really likes bows and arrows, and maybe Donna will have a lot in common with her.
When seeing them appear, not only Li Wei was very surprised, but also the local God-chosen heroes.
Because they had never received any relevant information before, they could only say that Khalida had hidden it too deeply.
In addition, there are about dozens of God-chosen heroes, each with hundreds of troops, and their troop configurations are diverse.
Because except for constructs, most of the Tomb Kings' troops are weak and have fire weaknesses, so they often find ways to make up for this.
Recruiting dwarves, humans, and even lizards and elves is a very common choice.
Although the living and the mummies stay together, there will be a certain penalty on morale, but as long as different heroes lead the team, there is no problem.
And this is not a problem at all for the God-chosen heroes at this stage. Who doesn’t have a few heroes at their disposal?
So Li Wei soon discovered that Khalida had easily gathered an army of more than 30,000 people.
Although most of them are tomb guards and skeleton soldiers who serve as cannon fodder, the number is really not low. It is also the first time for Levi to participate in a war where his own side has such a huge advantage.
Because in the many battles he participated in in Black Castle and other places before, the number of high elf troops was pitifully small, and they were crushed by the enemy almost every time.
This is the fundamental difference between races. Because the Tomb Kings adhere to the funeral sect, the number of their dead is far greater than that of the living.
Under the protection of their gods, the dead can now become part of the army.
This is something that no one, including elves, dwarves or humans, can compare to.
However, Li Wei felt that although Khalida's army was large in number and its overall strength would undoubtedly be strong, it still had weaknesses.
That is, there is no real cavalry unit with strong impact, and there is no decent air force.
The skeleton cavalry, skeleton chariots, and some carrion vultures, gargoyles and the like under the hands of the God-chosen heroes could not sustain any big scenes after all.
The Silver Blood Army is a vampire force, but everyone who is a vampire can fly, okay?
But at this juncture, he certainly would not bring trouble to himself and get into trouble.
After Khalida ordered the official attack and the army left the city at full speed, he waited for a moment, then leaned over and handed the death guard to the opponent that he had promised to him before.
Khalida also nodded politely.
Li Wei immediately smiled and praised the opponent's efficiency and neat army lineup, and he would definitely be able to successfully defeat the Silver Blood Army.
Even if those skeleton soldiers are indeed useless, at least they are used to find traces of the opponent, or to issue warnings at the cost of their lives when encountering the enemy. That is still a contribution.
Khalida was not affected by his compliments. After commanding these troops for so many years, how could she still not know their true combat effectiveness?
Those skeleton soldiers were loyal enough, but their strength was too poor.
Except for slave rats, goblins and kobolds, or the skeletons and zombies resurrected by the evil magic of the Silver Blood Army, they basically can't defeat any other enemies.
Whenever pirates appear on the eastern coastline, in addition to the navy, they still have to rely on the Tomb Guards and Tomb Knights.
She just explained to Li Wei: "This is the bone giant that served as a guard in the Temple of the Serpent God. Later, he fell, and these bone giants came into my hands."
"The technicians spent a lot of effort to successfully repair them. This is the first time they have officially entered the battlefield."
"Oh? I wonder what their strength is?"
"Because they are just being repaired and not in their heyday, they are only at level 6, but in addition to archery, they also have certain melee capabilities."
Li Wei nodded secretly. Ordinary giants are only level 6. It sounds like these bone giants were quite powerful when they were in their prime.
Then Khalida's voice changed: "However, in comparison, Levi, you hide more things."
"This flying sword in the Cathay style, and the Sphinx."
Levi smiled slightly. He knew that once Khalida heard the news, she would definitely come to ask him, but he didn't expect that she would be so impatient.
"In addition to a large number of conventional materials and a heroic spirit, the most important thing is that making them requires high-level soul crystals. It is only possible to collect fragments of this special material when killing enemies of level 6 and above.
."
"And when it comes to souls, I can't take action every time, or I can succeed every time."
Khalida frowned when she heard this: "In other words, you have to kill at least multiple evil level 6 enemies before you can create a Sphinx?"
Level 5 is a threshold. Once it is crossed, the number of monsters in the wild, units in the army, or God-given buildings will decrease sharply.
When she attacks the Silver Blood Army this time, she can easily bring out thousands of level 5 graveyard knights, but if you don't count those who serve as commanders at all levels in the army, the level 6 troops are actually only these skull giants.
.
In this case, the production of Sphinx is destined to be extremely limited.
But she soon felt relieved. After all, the Sphinx was a level 7 unit. If it could be made casually, would the other units still have any meaning?
"Okay, I understand. Give me a list and I will ask my subordinates to try their best to collect relevant materials, including soul crystals."
"Every time I produce 3 materials, you just need to hand me a sphinx. How about that?"
Hearing this, Li Wei suddenly woke up.
Perhaps it wasn't that Khalida couldn't hold her breath, but that to her, other things were not that important compared to getting a sphinx.
Even if she might take advantage of this to raise the price, her thousands of years of savings were enough for her to ignore it.
But for myself, there is no harm in this either.
When using the Nine Scrolls of Nagash to create the Death Guard, although the operation was very fool-proof, once he lost it, he could not create it again.
But one thing is very perfect, that is, the success rate is almost 100%.
Once Khalida collects the materials, he will receive double her reward!
So he nodded very simply: "Okay, deal!"
"Oh, by the way," Khalida seemed to suddenly remember something, "Those chosen heroes who offended you have been expelled by me. At least within my territory, you will never come back.
Saw them."
In fact, if she had just offended Li Wei, she would not be so angry at all.
But they really shouldn't have betrayed her information and secretly colluded with other Tomb Kings.
Li Wei didn't take it too seriously. Those guys were just giving them experience and equipment.
Yesterday, when they had a fierce battle with the Viper Queen and others, Luna gained another level outside, and that was all thanks to the other party.
He wished there were more enemies like this.
What he is more concerned about is which Tomb King wants to deal with Khalida?
"It's the Lord of the Cursed Scarab-Prince Apophis."
Levi suddenly realized: "It turns out to be him, so no wonder."
Prince Apophis, also known as the Beetle Prince, is a famous "filial son" among the Tomb Kings.
He was jealous by nature, and because he was not the first in line to succeed, but he coveted the throne, he simply killed his entire family, including all members of the royal family, in one go.
Generally speaking, if you want to fight for the throne within the family, the most you can do is kill your father or brother.
But this guy didn't even spare his mother, sisters, and even his infant child.
Such a cruel behavior will naturally not end well.
Although he briefly sat on the throne for a few days, generals from all over the country quickly rebelled and marched all the way with unprecedented efficiency. A wave of decisive battles completely defeated him.
Among them, there are many churches that are biased towards neutral and kind-hearted gods. They are secretly helping him. He is an unjust and unscrupulous person in the true sense.
Then he was sentenced to the most cruel and vicious punishment of being eaten by insects.
He was buried alive in a sarcophagus filled with flesh-eating scarabs.
And that wasn't the end of it, when he was eaten alive amidst wailing sounds, and only the hardest skull was left, a powerful curse was cast on him, trying to prevent him from reincarnation forever.
But, things always take a turn.
Although his brutal behavior earned him hostility and hatred from many people, some evil gods favored him.
I don’t know who did it, but in short, he was resurrected later.
He was not simply resurrected from the dead. Except for one of his original skulls, the rest of his body was made up of a swarm of squirming scarabs.
As long as one scarab survives, it will not die and is very difficult to kill.
In addition, he was cursed by magic, which caused his character to become even more vicious after his resurrection. He also became an extremely special undead creature and mastered a lot of evil magic.
Not only did he carry out extremely cruel revenge, killing all his original enemies, but he also began to hunt the souls of the living everywhere.
If Khalida is the Tomb King who is most friendly to the living, then he is the Tomb King who hates the living the most.
At the same time, he did not forget to achieve his lifetime goals and even further expanded them.
He has strong hostility towards all the other Tomb Kings, and he wants to kill them all.
Although after he was resurrected and captured a city, the surrounding Tomb Kings launched many attacks on him and indeed defeated him, but they were unable to kill him.
Since the Tomb Kings and their troops are also special undead people blessed by the gods, their bodies can be killed, but their souls are often not captured or destroyed by them, so the Beetle Prince does not receive much benefit.
So gradually, he and the Tomb Kings around him became less frequent in fighting, and began to use other methods, such as a series of conspiracies and tricks.
So in this case, it's not surprising at all for him to make some small moves.
It's a pity that he is quite similar to Nagash in this regard. They both think their plans are good, but in reality they are full of holes when executed.
None of the so-called plots he had prepared before had succeeded. In the eyes of the other Tomb Kings, they were just jokes.
There are even a few people who have a bad taste and will deliberately play this kind of little game with him.
For example, the undisputed boss among the Tomb Kings, the Immortal Emperor Settra, who has hundreds of titles, has done this, more than once.
He almost completely destroyed the opponent, and thus earned a new title - Purifier of Scarabs.
This beetle prince has only just recovered in recent years, and he has become dishonest again.
But in this case, those God-chosen heroes who have taken refuge in him may not end well.
Because after being expelled by Khalida, they also lost their greatest value. With the character of the Beetle Prince, what good fruits can they get?
But for Li Wei, if he fights with the opponent, he may get some extra loot.
So he suppressed his smile and looked at Khalida very seriously: "If you need me for anything, please just ask."
Khalida shook her head gently: "It's okay, his territory is far away from here, so he can only use this small method."
In her opinion, the Beetle Prince is indistinguishable and implements similar plans for all Tomb Kings. If there is progress in any one, he will concentrate on that place.
If he was frustrated somewhere, he would give up there temporarily.
In the past thousands of years, she has been harassed by the other party more than once. As long as the danger is nipped in the bud, the other party will naturally settle down in a short time.
However, in the past, he has never bribed someone as easily as he did this time with just some useless gold coins.
These chosen heroes are simply not reliable enough.
Well, except for Levi, I always feel that he is very different from other chosen heroes.
Not only in terms of strength, social scope, or attitude towards her, but there are also some things that she can't say yet, but they do exist.
Seeing that the other party didn't take it seriously, Levi then added: "No, I mean, if he steals souls by killing people, then after we defeat him.
Khalida's eyes suddenly lit up. Almost all living beings, regardless of race, gender, age or strength, were all within the hunting range of the beetle.
Even if those souls who are kind or have gods behind them cannot be moved, it is entirely possible that the souls of those evil ones can be used to create sphinxes!
When she thought of this, she suddenly became more energetic: "Okay, I understand."
Then her voice changed: "But even after killing the Silver Blood Army, you probably won't have much energy in a short time, right? The sea to the east has not been calm recently."
Although her primary target is the vampire queen Neferata, followed by other vampires and undead creatures, it does not mean that she really does not pay attention to other forces. After all, she is also a tomb queen.
Recently, the Queen of the Sea among the Furious Gods is at war with many gods in the elven pantheon, which has also indirectly affected her and Kuga.
Because those pirates from the Snake People, Inda and Nibon were originally able to plunder overseas islands and even the coastal areas of the High Elves and Dark Elves.
But now that the gods are fighting, they don't have the courage at all, so they can only cross greater distances to attack her and the lizard people's territory.
Levi nodded: "This is indeed a problem. I wonder what plans you have after this, Khalida?"
"Of course it is"
Khalida subconsciously wanted to say that she would take advantage of the situation to find trouble with Neferata. She had already found out that the other party had been developing in Silver Peak for many years.
But when she thought about the long journey and the complicated strength on the way, even she couldn't help but have a headache.
Unless she can defeat all the forces along the way, there's no way she'll get there.
Not to mention those greenskins and ratmen, not even the dwarves would let her go.
Seeing that she was stunned, Levi was also a little surprised. Good guy, are you really planning to go directly to find trouble with the Vampire Queen?
That's not possible, it may affect Lilith and Lucia's plans.
Lucia is preparing to occupy the magpie's nest and use the other party's power to take revenge on Dracula.
Lilith, on the other hand, wants to better manage the vampires in the main world and take revenge on the vampire queen.
The other party has kidnapped many young knights from the Kingdom of Bator in the past. They were all Lilith's vests - the loyal younger brothers of the Lady of the Lake. Of course she would be resentful about this.
At this time, you can't let Khalida cause trouble, you'd better find something for her to do.
So after pondering for a moment, Levi continued: "If you can't go, how about helping me fight against evil forces such as the dark elves and sahuagin, and then let us high elves deal with the vampire queen?"
He is not just talking nonsense, this plan is actually very feasible.
Although most of the Tomb Kings live in the desert, some of them actually have considerable attainments in shipbuilding and naval warfare.
Even in the past, more than one Tomb King personally went to sea and traveled thousands of miles to retrieve the lost items because his burial items were stolen.
Their warships are certainly incomparable to those mobile cities on the sea of the Dark Elves - the Black Ark.
But dealing with ordinary fishmen, sahuagin, and even the pirates under the Queen of the Sea is not a big problem. They are regular troops after all.
Khalida was also a little moved when she heard this, because she did have a navy under her command, and because the east coast had to frequently fight against pirates, it was actually more elite than the navies of other Tomb Kings.
Those guys' navy may not be able to go to sea even once in a hundred years.
Some navies may actually never see the sea in their entire lives. Who allows them to live in the desert?
But she did not make a decision immediately, because if she participated in the war, her territory would not be stable from now on.
Maybe there should be more than one race coming to harass.
Li Wei naturally understood. Anyway, he originally planned to find something for Khalida to do, as long as she didn't get involved in Baiyin Peak's affairs for the time being.
