So in the next few days, Levi stayed at the dwarf's fortress.
After realizing the advantages of constructs such as the Death Guard in fighting the Skaven plague, the dwarves' enthusiasm became even higher.
They originally only planned to use them as auxiliary, but now it seems that they may gradually become part of the main force.
For this reason, the dwarves supplied Levi with almost unlimited amounts of materials such as stone and metal, just to allow him to create more Death Guards as quickly as possible.
Levi also became busier.
On the one hand, he has to continuously create various death guards;
On the other hand, he also has to go out frequently to kill enemies such as greenskins and goblins, because the soul crystals needed by the Death Guard need to be obtained from them personally.
The dwarves quickly understood Li Wei's behavior, but they did not show any strange eyes because of it, but were very happy.
Because Levi made those hateful greenskins unable to rest in peace after death. Instead, they had to fight for the dwarves and kill more greenskins. This is of course worthy of joy!
Finally, it’s time to repair the hundred-headed dragon golem.
However, after the actual operation, he felt that he still slightly underestimated the difficulty of the actual operation.
But fortunately, the materials were sufficient, and he had accumulated a lot of experience when making the Death Guard in the past, so after spending a few days and consuming some of Laila's semi-finished products, he was able to completely understand it.
Today, he not only successfully activated all the remaining dragon golems, but also mastered the expertise in making these two kinds of dragon golems.
Compared with the dwarves' gold coins and so on, this is his biggest gain these days.
While he was busy, since they had just defeated tens of thousands of green-skinned troops and had reinforcements from Khalida, the dwarves could defend with peace of mind.
Seeing this situation, the two dwarf ancestors got some death guards from Li Wei and left with their respective troops.
They were all anxious to return to the Eight Peaks Mountains to fight against the greenskins with Belegar, because the war situation there was more urgent.
At the same time, they did not forget to invite Li Wei, saying that they must go to Bafeng Mountain if they have the opportunity to enjoy the enthusiasm of their dwarves.
Of course, Li Wei was very happy to agree. Not to mention anything else, the nine volumes of Nagash hidden inside were enough for him to go there in person.
However, the heat is not yet there, the dwarves have not yet reached their most critical moment, and his ability is not enough to turn the situation around.
At the very least, he would have to wait for the Ruthless One's revenge army to successfully reach the bad land and achieve some results before he would consider going to the Eight Peaks Mountain.
While Levi was working hard, Donna, Elegy and others did not slack off either. They began to frequently take the initiative to attack the surrounding greenskins and goblins.
With Khalida's troops acting as cannon fodder, their subordinates suffered minimal losses but gained a large amount of experience points.
Amazon's war-like nature was one of the reasons, but the other reason was probably stimulated by Levi.
Now he has been able to communicate with the goddess on an almost equal footing many times. In addition to the wisdom he showed before, it is also his potential that has been recognized by the goddess.
If they don't work harder, I'm afraid the gap between them and Levi will become wider and wider in the future, and they don't want to be seen as a drag.
Seeing their performance, Cindy, Sally, Sefa and Sonia, as well as Alduin, Bayoru and others who were usually not very enthusiastic about this, also fought bravely.
It's okay to be lazy occasionally, but if everyone is working hard and you are still fishing, it will be too prominent.
Seeing this situation, Li Wei was very pleased.
It's not that he really has a bad heart. In fact, if the old subordinates who follow him are tired of this kind of life of fighting and killing all day long, he will also arrange a retirement position for them.
For example, there was the halfling Sam, the witch Tiva, the old mage Tes who stayed in the town, and even Lisa Dilan and Zhou Miyin, etc.
But if they are all willing to work hard to catch up, he will naturally give them more conveniences and opportunities!
At the same time, the entire main world was in turmoil and war was raging.
In addition to greenskins, ratmen, and beastmen, more evil races, such as gnolls, trolls, and even kobolds, etc., have also started large-scale wars and attacked their own enemy races.
Whether it was a negotiated decision or a desire to fish in troubled waters, this did put the dwarves under increasing pressure.
The only good thing is that the main direction of the rat people's attack is not them, but many human empires.
They swarmed out of the sewers, and from south to north, from east to west, almost all human countries were involved in the war.
As the rat people show more and more abilities, the situation of many human countries is not much better than that of the dwarves.
Compared with dwarves, humans have more priests and mages, but they do not have the natural magic resistance of dwarves, so their resistance to plague is relatively weak.
Moreover, dwarves live in various fortresses, and the roads leading to the outside are usually either sealed or narrow.
Just send some powerful Hammer Warriors or Iron-Smashing Warriors, and a few Iron Dragon Hand Cannons, and you can resist for a long, long time.
If it is a heroic unit, it is very common to fight one against a hundred.
But human sewers have too many entrances and exits. It is entirely possible for the rat people who have lived down there for countless years to launch attacks on dozens or hundreds of different locations at once.
Their number is sufficient, but the human defenders are limited.
More importantly, they have the initiative and can launch attacks at any time and decide where to focus their attacks.
However, humans can only defend passively, and cannot judge the main direction of attack of the rat people in a short period of time. This is very passive.
As for completely sealing the sewers, or taking the initiative to go in and eliminate the Ratmen, that is unrealistic.
The sewer system has existed for more than a thousand years, and it is so easy to change, not to mention that many sewers have been expanded by the rat people after so many years, and many have even been dug to directly connect to the Underdark.
Rushing to attack the Skaven who are familiar with the terrain is a very stupid choice.
So far, dozens of large and small forces have tried to do this, but in the end, without exception, they all ended in failure. Instead, they were severely damaged by the rat people, and more than one village or town even fell due to this.
Rat people are not eager to possess, they will only kill all living creatures, and then pack up the corpses, food, and all other available resources, and then return to the sewers or the underdark.
They are very aware of their own strengths and weaknesses. Killing and occupation are not the first purpose. They just want to obtain food and various supplies so that they can continue to develop.
If the rat people occupy the town, it will attract a large-scale siege from the enemy.
Among them, the one with the heaviest losses may be the Ivey Territory, one of the twelve provinces of the Sigma Empire.
Their leader, Marius Radolfo, who had the qualifications of an elector and was known as the "Mad Count", went down personally.
With his status, he is able to take the lead and personally take risks to share the worries of the people. This is indeed worthy of praise.
But he underestimated the Skaven.
In addition to the many methods they have shown before, the Skaven have also developed a new weapon, a gas bomb that combines warpstone, plague and magic.
If you think about it, you will know how dangerous and fatal it would be to withstand such an attack in a narrow sewer.
The "Crazy Earl" managed to escape with his high level and powerful equipment, but it is said that his bodyguards were nearly wiped out.
At the same time, his rune sword, the Mother of Ruins, which was the symbol of the Elector, was also lost in the chaos.
Currently, he is offering a large bounty to recover the lost items, and is once again intensifying his efforts to suppress the Ratmen.
If it had been anyone else, he might have been frightened, but he was called the "Crazy Earl" for a reason.
When he was young, he once held a long sword and fought from Nanshan to Beishan, killing countless common bees and calling it a war. There were not two similar things.
But no matter what, after the news came out, many races and forces once again increased their attention to the rat people.
Although the intelligence showed that the other party tied a poison gas bomb to his body and launched a suicide attack, which caused heavy losses to the "mad count".
But if you think about it, you will know that converting them into other forms, such as bullets or cannonballs, is just a matter of time and materials for the rat people.
Immediately afterwards, another news came out. The rat people launched an attack on Nuln, a major military town in the Sigma Empire and the city with the most advanced war equipment. The attack was unprecedentedly large-scale.
Although the defenders there are very powerful, many churches also have temples, and there are even three legendary beings:
The death mage-Cemetery Rose, Casmir IX, one of the two great chanters of the Church of Sigmar, and a powerful warrior known as the Titan Executioner-Theodore.
However, due to the large number of ratmen, the sudden surprise attack, and the obvious lack of defense of the defenders, the city still fell into brief chaos.
Legendary heroes are also human beings, and they also have their own things to be busy with. Of course, they cannot stare at the city's sewers all day long. They do not have that obligation or responsibility.
After repelling the Ratmen, an afterthought showed that due to the outstanding performance of the three strong men, the defenders' losses were very slight, but the arsenal suffered a sneak attack.
The Skaven have stolen a large amount of raw materials and knowledge about making artillery, and this may be their true purpose.
At the same time, this confirmed their previous guess. The rat people probably also wanted to take the opportunity to create special cannons using poison gas, plague and dimension stones as ammunition!
After learning this information, even Li Wei couldn't help but become cautious.
The rat men they knew were already very strong.
But this may still not be the full strength of the rat people. They are gradually appearing on the battlefield. Are they trying to test their results through actual combat?
At the same time, in the south of the Sigma Empire, separated by a mountain range, a large number of beastmen began to quickly gather on the outskirts of the large forest of the wood elves.
Outsiders may think that the beastmen want to join in the fun while humans and other races are distracted and have no time to pay attention to them.
But Li Wei got the news from Chen Zhui in the last days, yes and no.
The beastman really wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble, but he doesn't just want to be a supporting role, but the protagonist!
Dark Omen - Malagor, One-Eyed - Kazzak, Shadow Evil - Morgul, Wormtongue - Moloch, Bronze Bull - Taunos, Beast King - Gothel, Descendant of the Evil Moon - Moon Claw
Many well-known beastmen leaders in the main world have issued calls for the beastmen in the main world to gather and launch an attack on the Athel Loren forest of the wood elves.
There are a lot of beastmen in the wild. The reason why they have never become a big scourge is that they only cause some minor troubles. They have gradually become the experience points of the God-chosen heroes and the prey of aboriginal adventurers.
The fundamental reason is not only that most of them have low strength and stupid brains, but also that they are not united enough. In order to compete for the position of leader, they will also launch brutal fights and sneak attacks against each other.
But the guys who launched the call this time, without exception, are all at the legendary level. Their wisdom may still be insufficient, but there is absolutely no problem with their strength.
Even a beastman would not be stupid enough to challenge a powerful kin that he could not possibly fight against.
The reason why Athel Loren was chosen was not only because the wood elves were their biggest enemies, but also because it was the largest and most energetic magical forest in the main world.
Once the beastmen use it as a sacrifice, I am afraid that even the demon lord can summon a bunch of them, and true gods like Maura may also appear directly.
As for the ordinary beastmen hissing shamans, warband leaders, herd masters, etc., there are even more.
However, they are not all of the same mind. In the end of the world, Chen Zui received a special camp mission. Which beastman leader he chooses to follow may directly determine his future.
Because some of these beastmen are followers of Maura, some worship demons, some worship devils, and some worship other beastman gods.
Among the gods related to the beastmen, Maura is the most well-known, but he is not the only one, and he is far from a dominant one.
Rat men, tiger men, bear men, werewolves, fox men, monkey men, etc. all have their own gods.
The Yeenoghu that gnolls generally believe in is simply a demon lord.
In this case, these legendary beastman heroes must have their own plans.
What's more, for example, the descendant of the Evil Moon - Moonclaw, is probably an ancient evil creature born from the dark side of the moon. It is not even a beastman at all, it is just a simple join in the fun.
Once Chen Zui succeeds in joining the team in the apocalypse, he may gain a lot, but if he fails, he may end up being extremely miserable.
For example, Moonclaw has been killed several times in the past, but after hundreds of years, it will often be resurrected again.
Therefore, failure or death is irrelevant to it, but its younger brothers always end up dead.
Another example is that some beastmen worship demons, but demons don't care about them at all and only treat them as toys.
So once you choose them, it's okay if you can win all the time, but if there is an unfortunate failure, Moon Claw and Demon can run away directly, and the God's Chosen Hero may be the one to take the blame.
But for such an important matter, Li Wei couldn't help Chen Zhui make a decision in the end. He could only give the other party some death guards to help him.
In fact, Li Wei still has great expectations for him, because as long as the benefits are sufficient, he is willing to be a mole.
When he dealt with the old black dragon Black before, he put in a lot of effort and provided a lot of intelligence. If he can climb to a high position under the command of a legendary beastman this time, he might be able to do the same at a critical moment.
played a big role.
And although it is not yet certain yet, Levi also vaguely noticed that Lilith seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the current state of division among the elves.
If Chen Zhui in the last days could follow other beastmen and kill the wood elves all the way to their hometown, and then stab the beastmen in the back at a critical moment under his own "persuasion", how would the wood elves' favorability be affected?
Not straight up?
This may also have some effect on Lilith's plan. After all, after accepting Lilith's divinity, Levi has actually become her chosen one and her agent on the ground.
But that's a bit far away. It's really far away from the Great Forest of Athel Loren, and there aren't many beastmen nearby.
Ordinary beasts rarely live in mountainous areas, they prefer dense forests.
Because only in that environment can they better conceal themselves and launch ambushes. If it were a normal large-scale head-on confrontation, it would be almost impossible for them to defeat a human army with the same configuration.
Because the human army has sophisticated equipment, good coordination, the support of priests and mages, and more importantly, a large number of gunpowder weapons.
There is a saying circulating in the Sigma Empire: Steel, faith and gunpowder are the cornerstones of the empire. This can almost explain the importance of the three to the empire.
The faith in it refers to the belief in God, which can also be extended to priests, even mages, etc. After all, they all use magic.
However, the commotion caused by the beastmen still made the main world become more and more chaotic under this situation.
Not only do they burn, kill and plunder on their own, but they also occasionally hold sacrificial rituals and summon demons and devils from other worlds to further expand the chaos.
For a time, except for the high elves on the island of Ulthuan, who were still enjoying rare peace, other races and forces, regardless of good or evil, chaotic or lawful, were almost all caught in the flames of war.
At the same time, the undead that were originally lurking in the dark corners began to gradually emerge.
They don't have the guts to massacre dwarves or humans, because that will often lead to extremely strong revenge.
But on the battlefield after the greenskins or beastmen have wreaked havoc, they still have the courage to collect some corpses and bind some souls.
Lucia has sent messages several times, saying that even the Vampire Queen Neferata cannot ignore this huge temptation of benefits.
She issued instructions to many vampires, asking them to collect as many as possible, because corpses and souls were both potential soldiers for them.
After the Silver Blood Army was destroyed, Neferata lost its largest military base, especially the Terror Knights and Blood Knights lost there, which made her feel distressed for a long time.
After losing the Nine Volumes of Nagash, she didn't know how long it would take before she could cultivate him again.
Of course, for this reason, Levi's name was often mentioned by Neferata. Every time her expression was full of resentment, he had obviously been on her death list.
But more often than not, she felt uneasy.
Many uninformed outsiders may misunderstand that this is because her blood relative, Khalida, is sharpening her sword and preparing to take revenge on her.
But Lucia knew very well that Neferata must be worried about Lilith's revenge. Now there are many vampires in her Silver Peak who were transformed from the knights of the Kingdom of Bator.
.
They mistakenly believed the legend she deliberately spread, thinking that the Lady of the Lake was at Silver Peak, but they didn't expect that this was actually the vampire's base camp.
However, her state of worrying about gains and losses made it easier for Lucia and others to take action, because she was worried all day long and no longer had much energy to personally manage Baiyin Peak's affairs.
Lucia was already very strong, and was assisted by her equally strong younger brother, Alucard. After the Silver Blood Army was destroyed and Neferata lost a lot of support, they quickly reached a high position.
.
After receiving the architectural drawings of the Nagash statue and the Terror Knight provided by Levi, her position became even more secure.
However, in this case, in order to further gain Neferata's trust, she was sometimes forced to do things she didn't want to do before, such as collecting the bodies and souls of the innocent victims.
Although with her current status, she no longer had to do it herself, she was the one who issued the order after all, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
She even had some doubts that if this kind of thing were done too often, her camp would be seriously shifted.
Sometimes, for the sake of kindness and justice, it is justifiable to desecrate corpses to a certain extent.
Because the dead may be reborn in the kingdom of the gods and obtain a more perfect body, or high-level priests may also have the ability to reshape their bodies.
But when it comes to the soul, the situation is often much more serious.
For another example, Neferata actually hinted to her that she intended to take her into her harem
This is a bit outrageous, since everyone is obviously female.
She had vaguely heard of this rumor before, and she thought it was a joke at the time, but she didn't expect it to be true.
In this way, it is completely understandable why Neferata has extra trust in several high-level female vampires at Silver Peak, but is always wary of her.
Because those guys are very likely to become one of Neferita's wives or girlfriends!
While she wanted to laugh a little, Levi could only comfort her a few more words, it wouldn't be too long.
The reason why Lilith hasn't activated it yet is because she wants Lucia to master as much information and power of Silver Peak as possible so that she can eventually take her place.
Secondly, she was probably secretly investigating how Neferata determined that the Lady of the Lake was her.
She had been hiding for so many years without being noticed by any gods. How come she was discovered by a mere legendary vampire?
The other party is not just suspicious, Lilith must be eager to find out the reason.
But now listening to Lucia's description, Nefereta is obviously extremely frightened. In this case, in order to change the status quo, she probably only has three choices, and under the huge pressure, she will soon choose
One.
First, take the initiative to find Lilith to admit her mistake, and then let her be slaughtered. With the common personality of vampires, the chance of her choosing it is infinitely close to zero.
Secondly, run away directly.
The legend she spread about the Lady of the Lake was located in her lair, Silver Peak, but the main world was so big that as long as she left Silver Peak, it was very easy for her to hide as a legendary vampire.
Finally, that is to have a thick thigh, thick enough to compete with Lilith, and also willing to protect her existence.
But Levi felt that Lilith had been planning for a while, and if Neferata chose the first one, let alone that, she would probably spare her life.
Lilith may not look down on Neferata's combat prowess, but her entire vampire family is best at infiltration and charm, especially in many human kingdoms, and its intelligence network is very powerful.
But if she doesn't know what is good and chooses the other two, then Levi is almost certain that Lilith will take action directly to eliminate future troubles!
