Seeing that it didn't take long for Cindy to become familiar with Khalida, making the stoic Khalida smile. Levi could only sigh, this little guy is so lovable.
She wouldn't say anything flattering on purpose, but for some reason, it was hard for everyone to feel bad about her after seeing her cute little look.
Obviously her charm attribute is not particularly high and cannot compare to those warlocks who rely exclusively on charm, but that is the fact.
It can only be said that in many cases, attributes do not represent everything.
Intelligence attributes are not exactly equal to wisdom, and mages with high intelligence may also make some common low-level mistakes.
Similarly, charm attributes cannot completely determine a person's popularity.
As they continued to advance, attacks and harassment on the road became more frequent.
Although there was generally no threat to their army of tens of thousands, the skeleton soldiers under Khalida were still slowly but surely reducing their numbers.
There is no way, they are too weak. Apart from their loyalty to Khalida and strict military discipline, they have almost no other advantages.
But Khalida didn't take it seriously, because in the past years, she had long been accustomed to seeing these skeleton soldiers as nothing more than consumables.
And unlike the skeletons of the undead, even if their bodies are broken, they can still be recycled and reused.
Because what drives them is the souls of heroes who have been blessed by the gods, not the evil magic of the undead.
Whenever a skeleton soldier dies in battle, the tomb technicians accompanying the army will take action. Just like Levi collects soul crystals, of course they will also do this.
And the uses are similar. They will also use each other's souls to create new guards of the gods, and even the skin snakes under the grave knights' asses, etc.
If Lahmia City masters the manufacturing method of other constructs in the future, they will also use it.
All structures of the Tomb Kings faction, including those Tomb Scorpions and Bone Giants, are actually powered by these heroic souls.
It is for this reason that they often appear to be more flexible than other constructs.
The difference between them and the Death Guard is that these heroic souls are voluntary.
The Death Guard fuses multiple souls into one, completely crushing the consciousness within them, leaving only the necessary, basic wisdom, combat skills, etc.
If the materials are temporarily insufficient or there are other external reasons, the tomb technicians will find a new body for these heroic souls so that they can continue to serve Khalida as skeleton soldiers or mummies.
Unless the souls are captured and destroyed by the enemy, or their consciousness gradually disappears after multiple resurrections, they must always be loyal to Khalida.
They have a long lifespan and can be resurrected even if they die accidentally in battle. Doesn’t that sound great?
But in fact, they are the real workers who live forever and ever. They are exploited while they are alive and will not stop after they die.
They seem to like it very much, which is outrageous enough. It can only be said that the Tomb Kings' brainwashing of them was really successful when they were alive.
Similarly, the cost of resurrection for the indigenous heroes of the Tomb Kings faction is therefore much lower than that of races such as humans or elves.
This is also one of the blessings given to them by the Egyptian gods.
Perhaps in the eyes of other gods, many of the practices of the Egyptian gods seem a bit stupid or childish, but one thing is that they are indeed very good to their loyal believers.
However, sighing, Levi did not delay his actions. He first transcribed the advanced summoned monsters and learned this new magic.
The army continued to move forward. Seeing that the mountain that Khalida mentioned before had appeared in sight, she didn't know if she realized that such harassment was meaningless, so the frequency of enemy appearances quickly decreased.
When many of the God-chosen heroes saw this, they couldn't help but celebrate, thinking that they had achieved a small victory.
But Levi instead asked Cindy to be more vigilant, and he even secretly summoned some celestial creatures.
If the enemy's coach knows strategies, then he cannot only know this trick!
Sure enough, not long after, there was a loud noise, and an unknown number of tons of soil was blown into the air, and then smashed down on the head and face.
Almost at the same time, at least more than twenty underground passages were opened.
Accompanied by a series of "squeaking" sounds, countless rat-men, who could make trypophobic people collapse on the spot, swarmed out of the underground passage and launched a surprise attack on Khalida's army. This came from
The underground menace of the Skaven!
At the same time, a large black mist also appeared out of thin air, not only blocking the sight of the army, but also covering the actions of the rat people.
Those who were the first to come into contact with the mist screamed because the mist also came with more than one curse, which was the evil magic from the undead.
Then there was a series of roars, and the transformed beastmen, ghouls, tomb ghosts, and some cairn wraiths holding scythes also emerged from the caves and launched an attack together.
There was even an extremely dense sound of flapping wings coming from the mist.
If it were bats, the number would be at least over five hundred. It may not seem like many, but in fact, most middle- and high-level vampires can transform into bats!
Since multiple underground passages were opened in different places, and some were opened directly in the middle of the troops, several unlucky God-chosen heroes were caught off guard and killed on the spot.
In addition, the incident occurred suddenly and black fog obscured the view, so it is not known how many troops died in the battle and how many enemies there were.
Suddenly, screams, roars, curses and screams emerged one after another, resounding throughout the battlefield.
Khalida was suddenly shocked and angry. Before, she and Levi only suspected that rat men were involved, but now they just showed up!
Before she could give the order, the air was torn apart and the scream sounded. This was the sound of gunfire!
At the critical moment, Levi directly controlled the big palm to block Khalida's body, and used the wind-making technique to blow away the nearby fog, and then started to use some auxiliary and protective magic on her.
Since he had been vigilant for a long time, the various buffs on his body were not interrupted from the beginning to the end, and it was not particularly necessary for a while.
As for his subordinates, they have nothing to worry about.
On the one hand, it was because he had warned them before, and on the other hand, it was because they had been deliberately walking only on rocks.
If the Skaven launch an underground threat and launch a full-scale attack on the army, they will definitely choose the easier-to-dig soil instead of the hard stones.
It turns out that he was right!
Then he discovered as expected that in the face of at least thirty bullets emitting green light, the big palm was shattered without any suspense.
It's not that its defense power is weak, but those bullets not only use dimension stone as the raw material, but also have many strange patterns engraved on them, and they are enchanted.
Ordinary Skaven cannot do this because their unique Skaven magic is not good at these. What they are best at is plague and the like.
But if they cooperate with vampires, they will naturally have these special bullets.
But just such a delay was enough for Khalida to react.
She immediately squealed and waved the short staff that Levi thought was just a decoration.
I saw the short staff fluttering in the wind, and instantly turned into a snake-headed spear.
Then she connected with her spear, and the remaining bullets were all reduced to bits by her without exception.
But at this moment, hundreds of bats swooped in from the air and quickly transformed into humanoid creatures with red eyes, pale skin, and a pair of ferocious fangs at their mouths.
Being able to do this means that they are all vampires of at least level 4.
On the ground, more cairn wraiths holding sickles were already floating towards their direction.
The enemy wants to carry out beheading tactics on Khalida!
What's more, several of the God-chosen heroes brought here by Khalida also took advantage of the situation to fight back, intending to cause even greater chaos.
It was obvious that they had a very pleasant conversation with Li Wei before, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it, but at this critical moment, they resolutely betrayed Khalida.
Levi could only sigh. He just didn't move. He went all out when he made a move. It must be said that the opponent's coach did have a few tricks up his sleeve.
But if that’s all it is, it’s far from enough!
As his mind raced, the supreme robe was thrown on Khalida, and then Levi put a reaction spirit armor on her with his backhand.
With these two protective spells, plus Khalida's own equipment, if those stone cairn vengeful spirits slashed her, she would lose half of her life first, regardless of whether they could cause damage.
Cindy released the Sacred Glacier and the newly learned Blade Barrier, both of which are particularly effective when used to delay and hinder enemies.
Similarly, the celestial creatures disguised as soldiers also lifted their cloaks and transformed into fighting postures.
For a time, various attacks that were biased toward holiness and light shone continuously, which not only further dispersed the surrounding black mist, but also killed dozens of vampires on the spot.
Khalida also shouted and ordered the troops to launch a counterattack.
Maybe she wasn't particularly vigilant when she set out from Lahmia City.
But along the way, unusual things happened many times, and Li Wei warned her several times. If she hadn't been on guard yet, then she would be too stupid!
But one thing she never expected was that when the enemy launched a surprise attack, there would be many God-chosen heroes who chose to rebel and tried to cooperate with the enemy inside and outside!
It didn't matter that the Beetle Prince had been incited to rebel before. Everyone was from the Tomb Kings faction, and the Beetle Prince was indeed very generous when needed. She could understand that those guys might not be able to resist the temptation.
But wererats and vampires.
What can they give? Stink and blood?
Enraged, she was determined to show some real strength.
As a result, the front half of her snake-headed spear suddenly changed, and its size expanded dozens of times. Then, like a truly giant venomous snake, it opened its mouth and spat out a large cloud of venom, covering a space of more than ten meters in radius.
The large group of vampires that were enveloped screamed and fell downwards.
But before they actually hit the ground, the screams often stopped abruptly, because almost all of them were killed by the violent poison in just a few seconds.
Although as special undead creatures, they have high poison resistance, attacks from legendary heroes are certainly not easy to resist.
Several skull giants also drew out their giant arrows several meters long and shot them at the vampires in mid-air with agility that was not consistent with their bulky appearance.
As special high-level constructs, the Bone Giants do not entirely rely on sight to observe the enemy, so even if there is still a little black mist, they will not be affected.
With the scream of the air being torn apart, each giant arrow can cause as few as five or six to as many as a dozen vampires to explode into a cloud of blood mist.
Rather than saying that they were killed by arrows, it would be better to say that they were knocked to death alive, because their entire bodies were smashed into pieces flying in the sky.
Although Li Wei believes that using bows and arrows as weapons cannot maximize their power, they are still a rare sixth-level unit, and they are naturally invincible against ordinary vampires.
The priests who had been fishing before also showed their abilities and summoned many dinosaurs.
Some Ankylosaurus and Triceratops surrounded the outside of Khalida, Levi and others, forming a solid human shield. Some flying Pterodactyls, Rhythrosaurus and Aeolian Pterosaurs, etc., took the initiative to face the vampires.
them.
Although compared to their counterparts living on the ground or in water, flying dinosaurs are mostly squishy.
But their advantage is that they are extremely fast and their attack power is not too low. They can still delay the enemy.
Some sphinxes, a specialty of the desert area, also jumped out of the magic circle and faced the tomb evil spirits.
These monsters with lion bodies and huge wings may have various heads.
Crocodile, lizard, jackal, lion, even a man or woman's face.
Their abilities will also be slightly different because of this, but the only thing they have in common is that they all have good combat effectiveness, and some can also use some spells. They are at least level 4 and can fly!
However, Levi feels that these guys don't seem to be completely summoned objects, but more like Alyssa's Abyss Viper, some kind of combat-type magic pet.
Several priests even joined forces to summon a swarm of magical locusts, overwhelming them.
It's hard to say exactly how many vampires were killed, but it did delay the opponent greatly.
Even a vampire cannot completely ignore this disgusting bug that is usually as long as one finger.
Seeing this, Li Wei, who had just released the Glory Crown, didn't feel much surprised.
Khalida dares to conquer the Silver Blood Army, of course, not just with those skeleton soldiers and tomb guards, and even those in front of her may not be her full strength.
Thinking this, Levi glanced at the other side again.
Then he discovered that even though he and Cindy were not present for the time being, everyone was still fighting in a decent manner.
The terrain was chosen well, and we were always on guard. This was one reason why we were not attacked by the opponent. Another reason was our stronger average strength.
But there is another important reason, that is, Maldis and Alyssa finally began to show their talents.
Of course, there is no need to mention Maldis. She has been in battle for a long time. She has worked for the Snake Cult and the Benn Church successively, and has extremely rich combat experience.
The Death Knight's frost-type powers were very good at preserving life and controlling them. With the strength of the rat people and ordinary undead, they could not pose any threat to her.
But her attacks, whether they are spears or swords, are very deadly to the enemy.
In terms of pure physical attacks, she may be slightly inferior to Elegy, but Death Knight is also a very typical magician and martial artist. Her frost enchantment is much stronger than ordinary low-level enchantment magic.
It is worth mentioning that Levi also temporarily handed over the Rapid Battle Flag to her for use. After all, she is the strongest knight on her side, and she can exert the greatest power in her hands.
And Li Wei could also see that although this girl kept an indifferent face to everyone except him and seemed to be very difficult to deal with, she also didn't like to owe favors.
The Rapid War Flag is an epic rare item, so what does she want to give in return?
Alyssa on the other side has newly changed her profession to a warlock with heavenly blood, which will naturally give her additional advantages when dealing with vampires and other undead.
But what really makes her look more eye-catching is the 3X3, a total of 9 standing snake-shaped guards in front of her.
Although the damage they cause to the enemy with a single breath is not high, a single volley is enough to kill ordinary level 3 troops instantly.
More importantly, these gadgets are the same as Cindy's original psychic warhammer, which has a certain weak consciousness.
Unless they are destroyed, Alyssa does not need to distract them from commanding them. She can take the opportunity to do other things.
In this way, although her efficiency in obtaining experience points is not as good as that of violent output mages such as Sally or Sefa, it is still far better than ordinary warriors.
Well, speaking of it, ever since Alyssa's heavenly bloodline was completely activated, the relationship between her and her little demon pet with the abyssal bloodline has become less harmonious. Maybe it's time to find a new one for her.
However, her shadow unicorn has not changed at all, and seems to have become closer to her. Maybe it is what is called, even if it is in darkness, it has a heart for the light?
Similarly, Sefa and Sonia also showed their prowess. What they are best at is dealing with these undead.
And Donna and others, who had been hiding high in the sky, also kept shooting downwards.
With her height advantage, she can not only perfectly hide her body with her troops, but also launch an effect similar to a surprise attack at special moments.
Seeing this, Levi nodded happily, and then he motioned to Cindy to take the angels to deal with the vampires.
Anyway, there are many summoned creatures serving as cannon fodder, so they won't be in any danger.
He then activated the chessboard's summoning ability.
In order to lure Velsharon to show up, Lilith temporarily removed the covering and shielding effects on him.
Therefore, the Red Knight should have also seen the scene of the gods encircling Velsharon through her heroic warriors, just like Sigma who sent the punisher.
Now, maybe it's time to see if her attitude will change.
In fact, Lilith agreed to this, first of all, because she and Lilith were very similar to a certain extent, both had vests, and Lilith believed that she had enough wisdom and power to try to win her over.
Although the vest name of the Red Knight, Mermitia, is only a weak divine power with a very small scope of influence. The belief is only spread in a very small number of human city-states, and her body is not much stronger.
But her two identities and fields of priesthood are war and strategy. This is a priesthood with high potential and is also very scarce within the elf pantheon.
War and combat-related clergy, as well as magic, death, etc., are all recognized as clergy with high potential and high combat effectiveness.
Except for the God King Corellon, the Elf Gods only have Kane, the Blood-Hand God, and Kunos, the Hunting God, who have slightly related powers, and none of the other Elf Gods have them.
But based on Li Wei's current contact and observation, the two goddesses Lilith and Yue Gong have a very strange attitude towards Corellon.
They didn't seem to expect or rely on him at all. He was obviously Yue Gong's father (or mother).
Kane is from the chaotic evil camp. Even if he is very kind to Lilith, he cannot always be relied on. Needless to say, Levi can completely understand this.
As for the hunting god Kunos, he is the god of war of the wood elves and is very close to the human gods of nature. For Lilith, he is also not worthy of complete trust.
So in this case, it's no wonder that Lilith would be very interested in the Red Knight, who is also very wise and strategic.
Moreover, behind the Red Knight is Tempus, the god of battle who treats her like his own daughter. He is a powerful god. If he can establish a relationship with her, it will obviously be good for Lilith.
Of course, Lilith didn't completely count on her, and she seemed to have started to contact Sigma frequently.
Although he is obviously much weaker because he has been a god for relatively few years, he is still a human god of war with medium divine power.
Light flashed, and dozens of heroic warriors with translucent bodies and red armor appeared out of thin air.
"Red Guards, attack!"
"For Ms. Strategy!"
Seeing this, Li Wei also smiled with great satisfaction.
In the past, although he had shown a considerable degree of wisdom and commanding ability, every time he summoned him, the Red Knight would just randomly send him some constructs or animals, and rarely give him heroic warriors.
According to his guess, she might have cast a wide net, probably throwing out many chessboards at the same time to select the heroes among them, and give strong support to those who were willing to get close to her.
As for someone like herself, who already had traces of other gods on her body and was not particularly enthusiastic about her, there was no need for her to pay too much attention to her.
But this matter is really not entirely his fault, it is only her fault that she chose Simon in the first place.
Although Simon usually works hard enough, his talent is really limited, and Levi has gradually let him go.
But last time and this time, no matter what class Li Wei summoned, she gave them all heroic warriors, which is enough to explain her attitude.
She is not only looking at Levi's potential, but also looking at the face of Lilith and other elven gods!
Although Li Wei still had some backup means and had not tried his best, under their joint counterattack, the enemy's surprise attack on Khalida still failed to have much effect.
Because the opponent seems to have a lot of numbers, but there is no strong person who can match Khalida and truly make the final decision.
After the priests continued to summon more creatures, some tomb technicians who had not shown up before emerged from nowhere and began to activate groups of jackal-type gods guards holding long bows.
The enemy threat becomes smaller.
I don’t know if it’s Khalida herself or the tomb technicians’ bonus to the Gods Guards. The attack power, attack speed, hit rate, etc. of these Gods Guards are obviously better than those of their ordinary counterparts.
This resulted in many vampires often dying on the way before they could get close to them.
There are also some priests who constantly use skills such as wind creation and unknown flames, trying to keep their own line of sight unaffected.
The tomb generals also brought their own troops and launched a counterattack while beginning to move closer to Khalida. Even though Khalida did not issue any orders to them, they did not panic at all.
After all, they are truly experienced in many battles, and some have even died more than once. What else do they have to fear?
At the same time, after the initial panic, many of the God-chosen heroes also calmed down.
Because they also discovered that the average strength of the opponent was actually not that great, because the strongest wave of enemies seemed to have gone to besiege Khalida.
So they began to fight back one after another, and also tried to move closer to Khalida.
Although with her legendary hero strength, she should not be reduced to the point of being rescued by them, but this is a rare good opportunity to show her face!
Then those rebel guys were a little embarrassed.
Although it can be seen that their strength is above the average, the rebellion they launched did pose a considerable threat to the surrounding troops.
But similarly, when the allied forces of ratmen and vampires failed to defeat Khalida's troops in one fell swoop, they instead trapped themselves in heavy siege and became the turtle in the urn!
Levi also activated some poisonous scorpion guards while using Turn Mud to Stone on the surrounding land.
The rat people may not have had the right opportunity to attack Khalida directly from the ground, but even if they dig a hole, it won't take much effort for them. After all, this is what they rely on for food.
Then within a few dozen seconds, he heard a male voice that was not unfamiliar to him.
"Damn it, why is it like this again? Why can't it be dug?"
Then came another female voice: "Do you still have to think about it? Maybe it was Levi who spread this method."
"No, it might be someone else who found it on their own. Anyway, this isn't really a profound skill."
As soon as he heard these words, Levi knew that there were many Rat Man God-chosen heroes involved in this ambush, including the two guys he beat away last time.
As for the undead, although I haven't heard any similar movements, they are probably indispensable.
Unfortunately, after looking back and forth for several times, he could not really determine the opponent's position. This battlefield was too noisy.
But suddenly, Li Wei's heart moved. A poisonous scorpion guard that had penetrated into the ground was destroyed.
Within a few seconds, the second and third victims appeared one after another. Not only were the victims extremely fast, but their attack power was also ridiculously high.
Although the Scorpion Guard is not good at life and defense, it is still a level 4 unit after all.
It can kill them almost instantly, but prevents them from even seeing who the enemy is. This is probably used to deal with Khalida!
So without any sound, Levi quickly summoned the bear-headed god Bill and other heavenly creatures.
Then, based on the location where the Scorpion Guard was destroyed, he roughly deduced the direction and location where the opponent might appear.
After seeing his actions, he only used one move to barely calm down his anger. After that, he stood quietly on the back of the skin snake. Khalida, who did not personally participate in the battle, immediately understood what was going on.
.
She immediately decided to cooperate with Li Wei's actions and deliberately moved in a certain direction. It seemed that she wanted to attack personally.
Not to mention, even if it's just a show, her attacks are extremely powerful.
Whether it is an ordinary vampire, a tenacious tomb ghost, or a stone coffin wraith as a spiritual body, there is no difference in front of her spear, they will all be killed with one strike.
Just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, after easily killing dozens of enemies, she snorted softly and looked up at the vampires in mid-air that had been killed to pieces by Cindy and her angels.
"That coward Edward didn't come, but he just sent you ignorant wretches to die?"
