Looking at a series of system prompts, Levi didn't know what to say for a while.
He originally thought that the greenskins were attacking the dwarves, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
But according to what he knew, the greenskins should be completely incapable of declaring war on all races at the same time. Even if they were to be replaced by any other race, this would be purely seeking death.
Could it be that their alliance with the Ratmen gave them this confidence?
However, the Rat Man's official declaration of war did not exceed his expectations. After all, this was already a well-known fact.
Although he felt a little emotional, he immediately shared the information with Donna and others.
They were also very surprised, because even though they had learned a lot of information before, they never expected that things would develop like this.
This is simply like the greenskins are gambling with the future of the entire race. The risk is too great. Could it be that the greenskin gods collectively went crazy?
But before they could discuss it for a few words, Luna had already issued a warning, saying that small groups of green-skinned troops were beginning to appear in front of them.
They don't have any flags or signs that represent their identity. They may have heard the news and came here to prepare for the super WAAAGH.
There is nothing more to say. Levi naturally asked Luna to kill them all as much as possible.
At the same time, he also started communicating with General Poisonous Scorpion, planning to let him send part of his troops to participate in the battle so that he could witness their combat effectiveness.
Although Khalida asked them to act as the vanguard, Levi was not just satisfied with this.
The Scorpion Warlord naturally agreed, and then he seemed to think of something again: "By the way, Master Levi, I heard that there is an ogre warlord named Brout Big Mouth nearby recently, and he is looking for an employer.
, he seems to be very interested in giant meat."
Li Wei immediately smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much, I will pay attention to it."
While talking, he also secretly asked Luna to continue to strengthen her reconnaissance.
What this guy means is that next, we may not only encounter ogres, but also the green-skinned army leading the giants?
As for the other heroic units that came with the Scorpion Warlord, Li Wei asked a few questions casually and found that they were just some very ordinary heroes of white or even gray quality.
They only provide some basic bonuses for the troops, but their knowledge of other aspects is very limited, so Li Wei didn't waste time.
The giants have not yet been encountered, but soon several huntresses riding Pegasus have discovered new enemies, which are some greenskins riding war boars or driving wild boar chariots. The total number is probably close to 400.
They seemed to have just ended a battle, but what surprised them most was that this time the greenskins were not in a hurry to feast on the battlefield, but instead picked through the enemy's weapons and armor fragments on the battlefield.
.
Not to mention that this is completely inconsistent with people's conventional understanding of green skins. Those fragments and the like are actually difficult to recycle and reuse. They are essentially just waste materials.
However, these greenskins didn't seem to just use it as a decoration. They watched helplessly as the other party glued some sharp metal fragments to their wooden sticks, turning them into more lethal fangs.
Great.
Other greenskins also have their own ideas. Some insert metal fragments into the gaps in their leather armor to form sharp barbs to hurt enemies who try to attack them, while others simply stuff them into their own leather armor.
to increase defense power.
Some are painting pigs with enemy blood and internal organs, and inserting the head of the dead in the front of the chariot, probably to scare the enemy.
There are so many kinds.
Even though he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, just listening to their reports, Li Wei felt that something was unusual.
Could the greenskins really make use of those waste materials?
Or is this some kind of special sacrificial ritual? Like a demon or devil?
First, he told Luna and the others not to alert the enemy, and then Levi turned to look at the Scorpion Warrior, wanting to see if the other party also knew something about this.
But this time the big man showed obvious confusion, and he knew nothing about it.
Similarly, Elegy and others are in a similar situation, because the green skins they killed before did not show similar characteristics at all.
Or it may be that those guys were killed as soon as they came out, and there was no chance to use the scraps for the time being.
Levi didn't feel too disappointed, because he vaguely felt that the abnormal performance of the greenskins might be the reason why they were so arrogant and dared to openly declare war on the world.
If they show great strength and frighten other races, and then allow the other side to cede territory and seek peace afterwards, they should be able to control the war within a certain range.
However, something is still wrong.
Because even if this is the case, after this incident, the diplomatic environment of the greenskins will definitely become very bad.
Even other evil races absolutely do not want to see a brutal chaotic evil race rise again.
This is obviously extremely detrimental to the long-term development of the greenskins and the greenskin gods.
So Li Wei couldn't figure out why they made such a choice.
Anyway, the first target is the dwarves, why not just declare war on them?
If the war goes well and the Silver Road is captured, it will never be too late for them to continue declaring war on humans and other races.
Unless they have no choice but to do so, or have been fooled.
After thinking for a long time, Li Wei gave up temporarily because the current information was too little and he could only wait until later.
With such a big thing happening, the gods, including Lilith, will also try to find out the truth, right?
After all, the elves are the greenskins' biggest enemies, even more so than the dwarves.
A few minutes later, Luna had already led the huntresses to cut off the opponent's retreat, while the Scorpion Warlord led the Grave Knights to cover from both sides.
Li Wei personally led some skeleton cavalry and skeleton chariots and marched from the front.
He also wanted to see with his own eyes how much the strength of these special green skins had changed.
The greenskins, who were already careless and busy, didn't notice the enemy's arrival from the smoke and dust in the sky and the shaking of the ground until Li Wei and the others were several miles away.
Although he wanted to test the opponent's strength, Li Wei was not stupid enough to give the opponent a chance to reorganize his formation. He directly ordered part of the army to speed up the attack.
Among them, there were two hundred skeleton chariots and two hundred skeleton cavalry each, which was roughly the same number as the opponent. Dirge and Alduin also brought their own personal guards to fight together.
They have dealt with other greenskins more than once before, so they can naturally make more accurate judgments.
Accompanied by the slightly excited roars of the greenskins, the armies of both sides quickly collided.
Then Li Wei frowned slightly and discovered that even though he had the upper hand and charged in a group manner, except for taking advantage of the first wave, those skeleton chariots and other things that followed were basically beaten while hanging.
Already.
Although the War Pig Chariots and War Pig Boys on the Greenskin side have poor agility and are not particularly fast, their instantaneous explosive power is extremely strong and they are very resistant to beatings.
In comparison, the Skeleton Chariot is almost useless except for its relatively fast speed due to its light weight.
So within two minutes of the start of the battle, their losses had quickly exceeded double digits, and the rest were basically disabled.
You must know that the opponent did not have a hero to lead the team, but most of the skeleton chariots and others enjoyed the bonus of the hero unit, and there were some squad leaders among them, but they still ended up like this.
It can only be said that the behavior of the greenskins is not meaningless, and they have indeed benefited a lot from it.
After coming to this conclusion, there was no point in continuing, so Li Wei directly asked his subordinates to take action with all their strength.
After several waves of arrows and indiscriminate bombardment by magic, hundreds of greenskins were wiped out, but Levi's brows only became more and more frowned.
Because he unexpectedly discovered that based on the greenskins' different uses of waste, blood and internal organs, in addition to improving physical defense, they seemed to be able to produce varying degrees of damage to long-range projectile weapons such as arrows, and even magic attacks.
Resistance.
This is a bit outrageous.
No wonder they dare to launch a large-scale invasion of the dwarves. If they all used waste materials in a targeted manner, the damage caused to them by the bows and muskets that the dwarves are proud of would generally be reduced by 5-15 points.
This is only what ordinary green skins can do. If it is a more intelligent legal unit among the green skins, or simply a hero, it is very likely that it can do better.
The greenskins mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops at once this time. This one move alone could reduce their casualties.
It's just that these weird things don't look like something the green-skinned gods could do.
Among the green-skinned gods, there are two legal gods. One is the wife of the god-king Gruumsh and the mother-goddess of the green-skinned ones, the goddess of life-Rusek.
The other one is Idras, known as the "Maggot King". He mainly studies plague, and secondly, death.
The rest have nothing to do with magic or technology at all.
In fact, the green-skinned gods only believe in fists. These two legal gods are also ostracized and despised within the pantheon.
Even Ruseke's son, Bagchu, looked down on his mother.
Of course, this may also be related to Bagchu's own brain. After all, he is known as the "God of Foolish Courage".
So after thinking about it, Levi felt that if these things were not related to the horned rat, the most likely possibility was that they were related to demons or devils. After all, they like to do these weird things.
After cleaning up the battlefield a little, Levi continued to advance with his troops, and as they continued to advance, they encountered greenskins more and more frequently.
After several battles, they were completely convinced that the greenskins had indeed mastered the recycling of waste materials.
Those greenskins who seemed to have encountered battles before had more or less decorated themselves and improved part of their combat effectiveness. This made Li Wei more and more worried about the subsequent rescue work.
I hope the garrisoned dwarf general can give him some strength, so that he won't be killed by the enemy before reinforcements arrive.
Fortunately, after half a day's march, Luna finally received some important new information.
The good news is that the greenskins are still besieging Drakadrin Fortress, and they still have time to rescue them.
But the bad news is that the greenskins ahead are densely packed, like weeds. Not only can they be seen everywhere, but there are also quite a lot of them.
So far, she has found more than 8,000 greenskins, which is nearly twice her own number, and they also have more goblins as cannon fodder.
Moreover, she had not checked the Drakadelin Fortress carefully, because the opponent also had some flying units such as harpies, rocs, and wyverns there, so she did not get too close to avoid alerting the enemy.
Li Wei naturally expressed his appreciation for this, although he was confident that as long as Wei Guang himself was not here, it was entirely possible to win with his own strength.
But his direct troops were fine. Of the three thousand vanguards sent by Khalida, I'm afraid there won't be many left after the battle.
Therefore, we still need to use some means to save troops.
But to deal with green skins, you don't need too sophisticated strategies.
Levi first found a dangerous terrain suitable for an ambush, and asked the Scorpion Warrior to lead his troops to ambush on both sides, and then asked Luna to go and lure the enemy.
Strictly speaking, ordinary huntresses are not particularly suitable for this task, because their little leopards are not known for their speed.
But the big wild boar of the greenskins is also not a fast unit.
In addition, it is surrounded by mountains and rugged rocks, which is not conducive to a straight charge, so it is more beneficial to the female hunters.
Martis also volunteered to help Luna complete this task.
Li Wei naturally had no reason to refuse, but he knew that Maldis was definitely not just out of good intentions.
She just wanted to conduct multiple experiments on different terrains to adapt to the effect of the rapid battle flag.
Sometimes, being too fast is not always a good thing. She also needs to practice repeatedly to achieve complete mastery.
But regardless of her starting point, she did help Luna a little.
Soon, without any casualties, more than a thousand greenskins and almost twice the number of goblins rushed over, and then plunged into the trap.
So Li Wei gave an order, and the cemetery guards took the lead in attacking, using the fire-breathing dragon staff on the left and the poison staff on the right to weaken them first.
Then Donna fired a volley of arrows, and he, Sally, Sefa, and others threw a few more magic spells. In a very short period of time, almost ordinary green-skinned immortals were disabled, and the rest was harvest time.
When the greenskins and goblins suffered heavy losses and wanted to escape when they saw that the situation was bad, Luna naturally began to block the gap immediately.
In fact, according to normal circumstances, in order to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall in a hurry, they will often surround the enemy and give the enemy a hope of escape, so that they will not fight to the end.
But Levi and the others are not just satisfied with killing these thousands of enemies. He wants to repeat this process many times to reduce the number of enemies to a certain level before attacking the greenskins surrounding Drakadelin Fortress.
In this case, of course he must kill all the enemies as much as possible to prevent the information from being leaked.
And he doesn't have to worry about the losses being too great, because the mage units such as Cindy, Sefa, and Sally have quietly moved there.
When the enemy fled, they took the lead in releasing many death guards and summoning many celestial creatures to assist in the battle.
In addition, there were some skeleton cavalry to help, so it didn't take long for this group of enemies to be wiped out very easily.
Unfortunately, probably because our side has the absolute upper hand in terms of military strength, even though the casualties are minimal, the system's evaluation is still only slightly superior.
However, the Yin Red Knight's chessboard gave a lot of energy.
Li Wei had already discovered that there was a big difference between her and the system's evaluation standards. As long as the victory was beautiful enough and the loss was small enough, charging points could be accumulated quickly.
If the enemy is green skinned and demonic evil forces, further bonuses will be obtained.
Now that it is more than half charged, he is looking forward to it. When the progress bar reaches 100%, will it also be upgraded to legendary equipment?
This was repeated several times. Thanks to the stupid brains of the greenskins and the excellent cooperation of his subordinates, Levi and the others quickly killed tens of thousands of greenskins and goblins, while only losing a few death guards themselves.
Facts have proved that even those goblins have learned to use waste materials, but their own foundation is too poor to play much role at all.
Moreover, their morale was too low. Almost every time, after Levi and the others killed all the greenskins, no matter how many goblins were left, they would all scatter and flee.
Then they were killed by Sally, Sefa and other mages, as well as Luna and the huntresses, as easily as chickens.
During this process, Sefa and others became more and more proficient in mastering various types of big slaps.
Although the attack power of low- and mid-level big slaps is very weak, or they can only be used for defense, their existence can often greatly improve the survivability of mages on the battlefield.
Sonia's performance was also outstanding. Facts have proved that she can become a contemporary whip bearer and stand out among many of her kind. She must have gone through rigorous training.
After abandoning the long whip, she quickly acquired a crossbow in one hand and a long sword in the other. Coupled with the frequent use of various props, the speed of killing enemies was not much slower than before.
Even as Li Wei watched, he always felt that she was becoming more and more similar to a girl he hadn't seen for many days.
That's right, that's Lucia.
After receiving the statue of Nagash and the architectural drawings of the Terror Knight that he had specially asked Lotus of the Red Brotherhood to find a special channel to send over from the Silver Blood Army's lair, she also responded immediately.
However, there were not many words to express her gratitude in the letter. Instead, she shared some interesting stories or secrets about the Lahmia family, Silver Peak, and vampires with Levi.
Then she said that the progress between her and her brother Alucard was going very smoothly, and asked Levi not to worry too much.
Finally, she attached a list of many well-known vampires, as well as their approximate abilities, etc., saying that she hoped to be helpful to Levi.
All these things made Li Wei vaguely feel that although the two parties were temporarily separated, Lucia's feelings for him had not weakened in any way.
Everyone else was working hard, but Levi did not relax. He used summoning spells many times, not counting the ones he was already proficient in. He mainly wanted to try a few more advanced summoning monsters.
In addition to aquatic dinosaurs, he also summoned terrestrial ones. After several attempts, he was very pleased to find that although the number of high-level dinosaurs was a little smaller, they were still a very good supplement for him.
Among them, the Triceratops has rough skin and thick flesh, and a health value of more than 3,500 points. It is very resistant to beatings. Once it launches a charge, the horns on its head are not inferior to the spears of high-level knights.
Although the Tyrannosaurus Rex's vitality is relatively weaker, its attack power and attack speed are significantly better. Moreover, it also has its own violent and bloodthirsty abilities. Once it sees blood, its combat effectiveness will be further enhanced.
Compared with the rampaging Triceratops, the Tyrannosaurus is better at dealing with larger monsters, but it is truly unable to deal with gadgets such as goblins.
Because its short hands are too high from the ground and cannot reach the goblin, it can only try to step on it with its feet or attack with its big mouth.
But it also has a good helper, and that is the Titan Anaconda.
This giant cold-blooded animal is similar in length to a bus and more than one meter in diameter. In addition to being very resistant to beatings, it is also best at ground combat and dealing with groups of cannon fodder.
Whether it's swallowing whole, sweeping attacks, or simply rolling around on the ground, it can cause devastating attacks on goblins.
Unfortunately, they all have a common weakness, that is, they have almost no supernatural abilities related to magic, and they have a negative state - madness.
In other words, so far, almost all the dinosaur monsters summoned by Levi, regardless of class, have this thing.
Every time they kill an enemy or their health is reduced to a certain threshold, they have a certain chance of falling into a state of madness.
Although the effect of spreading fear will be increased during this period, ordinary goblins and greenskins may be frightened into running around.
But they have become completely unwilling to accept any orders from the summoner, and will only continue to attack the nearest enemy.
It's okay to deal with ordinary enemies, but if it's a forest-like array of spears, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Or if there are cavalry units or flying units that are faster than them, then it is entirely possible that they are like fools and are played by others.
Flying dinosaurs have a relatively low chance of going crazy, but their strength is obviously stronger. And once a flying dinosaur goes crazy, it will have to fight the enemy to the death on the ground, which is basically a dead end.
This made Levi want to go to Paradise Island even more.
Because according to Elegy, both Amazons and lizard people have mastered the technology of domesticating dinosaurs.
In addition to allowing them to control more types of dinosaurs, it is also possible to remove this negative skill.
If that were the case, their practicality would undoubtedly instantly increase a lot.
Next is the magic pet. After ordinary animals become magic pets, their intelligence is often improved, and dinosaurs are no exception. This will be very helpful to improve the situation.
Donna also expressed interest in this. Her big cat was almost done. Maybe it was time to replace it with a big dinosaur. She remembered how majestic Kuja was when he rode a tyrannosaurus.
Levi also agreed with this. Although due to necessity, Donna basically floats in the sky all day long, it does not mean that she will always be like this in the future.
If she can have a tyrannosaurus as a mount, her safety will undoubtedly be greatly improved in future land battles.
But in any case, although dinosaurs have many shortcomings, they are summoned creatures, and they don't feel bad even if they die. Levi just used them a few times casually, and even deliberately let them go crazy to disrupt the enemy's formation.
In comparison, Silver Dragon Catherine's performance was much better.
Her various mist and cloud magics increased the success of her own ambush by at least 20%.
And she can't only do this, she can also assist. Not to mention the Stinky Cloud Technique and the Thunder Cloud Technique, Li Wei knows it himself and naturally knows it very well.
The fog of rust can corrode the enemy's metal armor or weapons, thereby reducing defense and attack.
The heavy fog technique can greatly slow down the enemy, the freezing fog technique can reduce both the attack speed and the movement speed at the same time, and then she also has the death cloud technique, which can be called a miscellaneous killer.
As the name suggests, this is a magic with an instant death effect. Once the enemy's physique is not up to par, such as goblins and the like, they will basically die as many as they enter.
The only problem now is that this little female dragon can't control the exact time and place to release magic, which has caused trouble for her side several times.
If it weren't for the fact that those on the front line were either the mummies and skeleton soldiers sent by Khalida, or the death guards who couldn't speak at all, she would have received a lot of protests for this.
But despite this, Levi began to personally command and coach her.
I don’t know whether it’s because of his generosity, or because he really wants to learn something, or because he feels the powerful power of Li Wei. At least on the surface, the little female dragon is still very humble, and the situation is unclear for a while.
It can be regarded as a considerable improvement.
I just don't know why, after killing so many enemies, Levi found that the number of soul crystals he could collect was significantly less than that of other enemies.
To be more precise, the ratio has been significantly reduced, and often the stronger the green skin, the lower the ratio.
This made me a little confused, a little puzzled, but mostly vigilant.
The soul will not disappear out of thin air. If the green-skinned gods haven't done something, then there are other beings who are doing similar things.
Even if he hasn't detected the evil aura of demons or devils on any green skins, it doesn't mean that they really don't exist.
Because there is another possibility, that is, the opponent is far stronger than him!
With such vigilance, they went through several more battles, and Li Wei became more and more vigilant.
I have to let Lilith know about this matter.
At this moment, the latest news came from the rear: Khalida had approached with tens of thousands of troops.
However, since most of her men were infantry, it would take more than an hour to reach Drakadelin Fortress.
She wanted Li Wei to wait for her army to arrive and then march to their destination together.
Based on the information they have gathered so far, as soon as the army arrives, the greenskins will naturally be defeated.
Unfortunately, at almost the same time, Li Wei also received information from another direction, and he could not agree to her for the time being.
Because no matter how stupid those greenskins are, they still noticed it after being fucked so many times.
This time, Inspector Archon was the first to notice the unusual movements of the besiegers, and some greenskins began to rush towards their direction.
The composition of the opponent's troops is quite complicated: greenskins, goblins, wild greenskins, trolls, and even ratmen, totaling nearly 8,000 people.
The weapons they used were also varied, including battle axes, spears, swords and shields, bows and arrows, slings, etc.
Although the number of the air force is relatively small, it is also filled with hundreds of harpies, gargoyles, rocs, and a small number of manticores and wyverns.
There are about a dozen level 6 giants among them.
Their huge size and outstanding height make it difficult to hide them once they appear.
After receiving this information, Levi immediately confirmed that there must be a God-chosen hero among them.
In order to facilitate command, ordinary aboriginal heroes would not create such a motley army from multiple different races.
After pondering for a moment, Levi immediately sent out Shadow Elemental and Rat Envoy to continue trying to get in touch with the besieged dwarves. The purpose was not to get the other side to send troops to help, but to allow them to continue to defend.
The dwarves have been able to persist under the siege of such a force until now. Their strength is certainly very good.
But by mobilizing their troops in such a big way, why aren't the greenskins showing off to the dwarves?
The green-skinned natives don't have the brains, but the God's Chosen Hero might think of it.
Whether the greenskins will repel themselves or continue to attack the fortress depends partly on the reaction of the dwarves.
If the dwarves can no longer hold back and want to take the initiative, the greenskins may kill them first and then fight with them!
