So, unless you take the initiative to embrace the other person like Zeus, once you become a god, is it possible to resist the corruption of the four gods of chaos?
After returning to Lahmia City, the damaged construct was thrown to Hapros for repair. Khalida went to check the preparations of the fleet, Elegy and others replenished supplies, while Levi was still thinking about Lord Croca.
what was said.
It's just that before he actually collected all nine volumes of Nagash, he didn't really want to become a god.
Because he and Lilith have always suspected that the nine volumes of Nagash may contain knowledge about the priesthood or field of death.
After all, Nagash single-handedly caused the deaths of tens of millions of people, and there will only be more people who died indirectly because of him.
It is completely understandable to say that he realized some special power because of this.
Even though he carries a lot of notoriety, he is still recognized as the most talented among all human mages from ancient times to the present.
If you can obtain the priesthood of death and then become a god, it will be much better than ordinary miscellaneous gods.
But that can be discussed later. Taking a look at the ring, Levi found that it was still fused with the remaining power of the God of Mystery Locks.
There's not even a countdown, I don't know how much time it will take, let alone what it will look like after fusion.
So he turned to look at the divinity of the Mysterious God.
I don’t know if the self-consciousness in it was removed when it was originally handed over to Lord Croca, or if it gradually passed away over the long years.
In short, in the system's notes, there is only pure power and knowledge, and there is no thought or consciousness.
After pondering for a moment, he directly chose to use it.
After a few seconds, Levi successfully obtained its power.
The responsibilities of the God of Mysteries include protection, protective magic and Mysteries.
Li Wei is not sure about the field he controls for the time being, because this god was very mysterious in the past.
Lilith only knew a little about it, because before a certain point in time, she was just an ordinary elf goddess who only knew about pleasure all day long. She was very heartless, just like most of her kind.
She seemed to wake up suddenly at a certain time.
Considering the amount of information she had revealed before, Li Wei had already made some vague guesses.
Did she get information from other outer gods, or is she one of the outer gods herself?
But that has nothing to do with him for the time being. He only needs to know that she has always been good to him. It is enough.
Her true identity is not important, what is important is her position and attitude towards Levi.
Closer to home, now he is certain that the God of Mystery Locks must own the field of craftsmanship, because he has learned a magic related to it.
Artisan's Touch: You can repair or damage constructs and magic items with a direct touch.
Now, even if Harpulos is temporarily absent, he can still repair the Sphinx and other constructs.
Moreover, Li Wei vaguely felt that there still seemed to be room for improvement in the process of creating the Death Guard according to the fool-like operation of Nagash's Nine Volumes.
This is what makes him even more excited. If so, as he continues to become more proficient, will he have the ability to independently create Death Guards after getting rid of the Nine Scrolls of Nagash?
Thinking of this, he no longer wasted time and directly found a quiet place to create the jackal guards he was most familiar with.
This process was not smooth at first, but after many failed attempts, Levi was finally able to make slight improvements, which immediately made him very excited.
Although the Nine Scrolls of Nagash were good, he did not want to be bound by them for the rest of his life. After all, they were foreign objects. Only those who truly learned the skills would belong to him forever.
So he was slightly excited and kept busy for several hours.
Although nothing has changed in his skill bar, he is already confident that if he practices it a few more times, he will be able to completely master this skill.
By the way, he also created some Tomb Scorpions. This special unit can definitely exert good power when dealing with ratmen and other races that can also burrow.
After finishing this, Donna came over with a smile and told him some relevant information sent by Khalida.
Greenskins and dwarves are still in the mountains, fighting around various strongholds.
The greenskins are better because they have more people and they have the power of thinking, so their offensive is very fierce.
The dwarves win because they have geography, and there are many divinely chosen heroes from various races who choose to side with them, which allows them to get a lot of reinforcements.
After all, compared to the greenskins who don't even have gold coins, the various weapons, equipment, war equipment, and even runes of the dwarves are all good things.
Therefore, although there is a huge gap in the strength of the two sides, the dwarves can still bear it for the time being.
The greenskins hold the initiative in the war, but they do not have more troops to deal with other races.
But this situation will not last long, because the dwarves are dying one by one.
But while the super WAAAGH lasts, the greenskins seem to be planted out of the ground, almost endless, and their troops are replenished very quickly.
And following races such as goblins, bugbears and trolls, kobolds have gradually begun to participate in the fight against dwarves.
Perhaps to many God-chosen heroes, kobolds seem to be similar to goblins, they are just mobile experience points in Novice Village.
But in fact, the further back, the greater the gap between the two sides, because the kobolds really have the blood of the dragon.
When they gradually become stronger and awaken into dragon vein warlocks, dragon tablet guards, etc., they will completely defeat the goblins in terms of strength and wisdom.
In addition, there are enough of them, so the main god of the kobolds, Kurtumak, is considered to be the strongest among the medium powers.
Although kobolds mostly only fought with dwarves before, they are also good at mining and have a lot of problems with dwarves.
In short, I don’t know whether the green-skinned gods promised some reward or simply wanted to take advantage of the situation. Now they have chosen to join, which makes the green-skinned gods even more powerful.
When the dwarves can no longer hold on, it may be the time when they suffer a chain rout.
However, both Levi and Khalida knew that this ideal situation for the greenskins would actually have a high probability of not happening.
Because the Mist Expeditionary Force of the Ruthless One, Eltharion, has been setting out for many days, and counting the time, it is almost time to arrive.
If he could give the greenskins a hard blow from behind, he would be able to disperse the greenskins' military power to a considerable extent and give the dwarves a chance to breathe.
The rat people have completely shifted their targets and put all the focus of their attacks on the various human countries.
For them, humans are undoubtedly easier to deal with than elves or dwarves.
Even according to intelligence, many human officials would take the initiative to cover up the existence of rat people for the sake of their official positions, which undoubtedly helped them.
In the Sigma Empire, a church called the "Yellow Fang Cult" gradually emerged. Its members are all humans, but they worship the rat god, which leaves many people in the know speechless.
At the same time, many beastmen had already crossed the mountains and ridges and began to head towards the great forest of Athel Loren, the home of the wood elves.
Unless someone is unlucky and happens to be blocking their way forward, their overall threat to other races is strictly speaking reduced a lot.
As for the snake and Nibon pirates who usually frequently harassed Khalida's territory, they seem to have become more peaceful recently.
According to intelligence, they all seemed to have been absorbed by the Queen of the Sea, and then joined forces with the dark elves to fight against the sea dreamers and high elves.
In short, everything is going well so far. They can officially go to sea tomorrow and launch an attack on the dark elves.
So early the next morning, Levi got ready early and headed to the port with Khalida.
Even though he had expected it, Levi still raised his eyebrows. This time, Khalida's hand was very big.
Looking around, there are hundreds or even thousands of warships with flags fluttering. The smallest ones are 10 meters long, and there are many others that are thirty, forty, fifty or sixty meters long.
At a rough look, if they were fully loaded, Khalida would have to mobilize at least 40,000 to 50,000 troops this time.
Even for the Tomb Kings, whose sources of troops are relatively easy to obtain, this is not a small number.
However, if it is a pure naval battle, she does not actually need to bring so many troops, because naval battles are mainly based on long-range attacks, and the frequency of boarding battles is still very low.
Those who sail the ship, those who control the ship's ballistas, trebuchets and other war equipment, and then the archers, etc., the melee troops come second.
Unless, Khalida not only wants to fight a naval battle, she also wants to fight a landing battle!
Seeing Li Wei's slightly emotional look, Khalida was also somewhat proud: "How is it, Li Wei, how is my fleet?"
"Yeah, very majestic."
I just don't know what the actual combat effectiveness is. Most of the warships here look like they are old and in disrepair.
Or do they just like this tone?
Secretly complaining in his heart, Levi was also led by Khalida to his warship.
She had said before that she would give him part of it.
But after seeing the unique shape with his own eyes, Levi was still somewhat speechless.
Do you Tomb Kings like pyramids so much? Do you even want to build warships like this?
That's right, the 70-meter-long warship that Khalida prepared for him had three pyramids of different sizes on it.
There are various shooting holes left, and judging from the appearance, I know that its defense will be very strong, but pyramids are generally prepared for mummies.
But no matter what, this is her intention, and her flagship is the same.
So Li Wei smiled and thanked him, and then arranged for some of his troops to enter the warship, familiarize themselves with the operation of the ballistae and other weapons as soon as possible, and prepare to get some experience points.
Yes, with only some melee infantry, Donna will still float in the sky with her Sky Slayers, ranged troops, and air force.
Whether it is the Queen of the Sea, the Sahuagin, or the Dark Elves, what they are best at is naval combat.
In the air, it is the safest for Donna and the others.
Then there are the 30 dragon turtle eggs that Sumi gave him before. After careful care by the druids, emergency catalysis of elemental crystals and many other methods, they are now mature.
These behemoths, with diameters of six to seven meters and possessing level 5 strength, can all officially participate in battles as escorts for warships.
Khalida also told Li Wei that she had mobilized a total of 40,000 troops this time, and specially transferred some elite archers from several towns in the south, just to fight this battle successfully.
As for the other God-chosen heroes who have signed up to participate, rough statistics show that they can gather an army of tens of thousands. This does not include the 2,500 water tribe troops brought by Shudun's sister, Sumi.
This number of wars, excluding the previous battle to annihilate the Silver Blood Army, should have never happened in this area for hundreds of years.
"So, what's your plan?"
"The whole army attacks, and puts pressure on the Gravel Islands, Dragon Tooth Mountain and Dread Rock at the same time, and then avoids the strong and attacks the weak."
In fact, this wouldn't be particularly complicated in the first place because her fleet is so large.
As long as the other party is not a fool, they will definitely keep an eye on them since they sail out of the port.
Levi is in charge, not to mention that this is Khalida's own army, and she has absolute control.
He has never commanded such a large army before, so he had better not show off his strength.
"Then shall we separate, or..."
"Let's get together, Malus Blackblade is a difficult character."
Li Wei was convinced that even though he had not seen the other party in person, the fact that the other party could injure both the Dragon Prince and his legendary dragon without a flying mount showed off his strength.
Moreover, the intelligence he collected from many aspects all emphasized that he was almost immortal.
Regardless of whether it is a physical or magical attack, it either does not break the defense at all, or the damage received cannot be recovered as fast as he himself.
For him, if his strength is below a certain level, the human wave tactics are meaningless.
Khalida even asserted that without her own mount, Kuja would never be a match for her opponent.
If there is a mount, the opponent will have a greater chance of winning.
Facing such an opponent, no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious.
There was no cumbersome process. After Levi met with Sumi and Khalida gave the order, the fleet was roughly divided into four teams and set sail.
The Poisonous Scorpion Warlord and many of her generals and priests marched towards the Dark Elves' original home base - Dragon Tooth Mountain, trying to test the defensive strength there.
Some generals transferred from the south pointed their swords at the Gravel Islands.
The dark elves have established many small outposts there, and their main purpose is to destroy them as much as possible.
Except for Li Wei and Sumi, the many divinely chosen heroes who were under her control were organized into a third team, and her constraints were relatively loose.
She only asked them to try their best to destroy the enemy troops they encountered. If the enemy was too strong and they were unable to fight against it, they could also immediately alert several other teams.
Of course, it doesn't matter if there are those who insist on following her.
As for her and Levi, they headed straight for Fear Rock.
The Dark Elves had just captured Dread Rock not long ago. Although they first relied on the power of the disease from the Nurgle Demon, according to the latest intelligence, the Lizardmen were not completely without resistance.
Therefore, many of the defense facilities there have been destroyed. In the rush, they may not have all been repaired. This is their opportunity.
Or even worse, they can test out the opponent's main force.
And she also used a little trick. Her fleet is the smallest and the most ordinary in appearance, but its true strength is the strongest.
This may not have much effect, but at least it won't make the other party recognize her at a glance.
If the opponent's general is a fool, she will have a chance.
She also planned to gradually approach Fear Rock, and she would further divide her troops and send out some suspicious soldiers to attract the opponent's attention. This was one of the reasons why she prepared so many warships.
When she fought side by side with Levi before, she suffered several injuries and even needed his rescue.
But this time, she wants to show him the true power and wisdom of the Warrior Queen!
In the end, most of the heroes chosen by God did not choose to go with Khalida.
Because after a recent period of observation, they have seen that with Li Wei around, their chances of obtaining generous rewards from Khalida are not great, so they might as well go for it on their own.
Sumi naturally accompanied her, and after learning that there was still a lot of free space on Levi's boat, she took the initiative to bring a few little sisters over to ride on the boat.
Although mermaids are born with the ability to swim, and the stronger ones can even move at high speeds using magic without swaying their tails, they are not as comfortable as riding in a boat.
Li Wei also communicated with her and exchanged relevant information. Sumi and the others had traveled hundreds of miles, running and killing all the way.
In terms of personal experience, it is definitely better than the simple written records provided by Khalida.
Elegy and others naturally also listened in, and it never hurts to learn more.
In this way, Sumi's small knowledge lecture hall lasted for several hours. During the process, people continued to join and some left, only to be interrupted by a slightly harsh alarm.
Li Wei, Sumi and others stood up at the same time. They had already driven hundreds of miles and encountered many low- to medium-level water monsters on the road. However, such an alarm had never been issued before.
This can only mean one thing, the enemy this time is much stronger than before!
The visitors were some pirates that were very common in the nearby waters, but there were quite a few of them, hundreds of ships came out at once, even larger than Khalida's army.
Although most of them look shabby, they are still very powerful.
What's particularly special is that there are not only bald Nippon pirates among them, but also some snake people.
It's easy to tell them apart because the appearance of their warships is completely different.
Most of the Nippon pirates were shabby little boats. It was already a miracle that such warships could go to sea.
Their fighting method is usually to fire a wave of weak arrows first, and then actively stick to them, start hand-to-hand combat, and even seize the enemy's ship.
Because as long as they can grab a boat, it will definitely not be worse than their original one.
They are also the least threatening of all pirates.
If it's that kind of rectangular ship with planks, then don't think too much, it must be an official pirate with the support of some famous Nippon names.
Their threat level will skyrocket, because they will basically be equipped with cannons, muskets and other weapons on board.
Most of the warships of the snake people are in the shape of long strips, and there are often some ferocious snake heads on the bows, which are easy to distinguish.
However, they are not just decorations, they can often spray poisonous arrows, or simply venom.
Originally, these two types of pirates would not fight side by side. The Nippon pirates did not want to provoke the Snake Man because they basically could not defeat them.
But the snakemen are a chaotic evil camp. They are almost like demons, launching indiscriminate attacks on all races.
Looking at the way they are living in harmony now, it is obvious that they have all been taken care of by the Queen of the Sea.
The God of Snake Men, Melshaok, although he is a medium-level god, he lives alone and suffers severe beatings from the Dragon God of Cathay all the year round. Occasionally, the Yinda gods and even the Monkey King will find time to cause trouble for him.
Thinking about it, he has always wanted to find some powerful allies. Kane, the Queen of the Sea and the Blood-Hand God behind the Dark Elves, will undoubtedly be a very suitable candidate.
Su Mi also looked solemn, and after quickly saying hello to Li Wei, he jumped directly into the sea and began to command the troops.
She has not forgotten that the reason why she followed Li Wei was to repay his kindness through fighting!
The Tomb Fleet on the other side didn't need Khalida to speak, and there were many generals commanding the fleet to attack.
The Tomb Kings do not use artillery, but the ammunition for their trebuchets is not ordinary stones, but enchanted ones. In terms of attack power alone, it may not be higher than their opponents.
Levi is not idle either. With an enemy of this level, there is no need for Donna and the others to take immediate action for the time being, so let Cindy, Sefa and Sally get familiar with naval battles.
Now that all of them are equipped with magic flying carpets, they can fight relatively freely.
Just those small sailboats of the Nippon pirates, a fireball spell passed by, and they were not all set on fire?
As for Levi himself, he first used advanced summon monsters several times, allowing several ichthyosaurs and ancient giant turtles to join the battlefield.
Then he summoned dozens of manatee lovethorns. These third-level little guys had almost never appeared in previous battles.
Because they are purely aquatic creatures, and their combat effectiveness is quite good, but in this case, being a scout is not a big problem.
Finally, he cast the Dragon Cloud Technique for the first time. He wanted to know what kind of existence this eighth-level spell could summon.
"Jiang Ang!"
As he cast the spell, a sound that was not loud, but rather strange, as if it could penetrate people's hearts, sounded in the clouds.
The little female dragon, who was originally considering whether to just fish in the face of such an enemy, suddenly became excited. She remembered what an elder had warned her.
Li Wei was also stunned for a moment. No wonder the notes for this spell said it was a summoned dragon, not a giant dragon, because the divine dragon of Cathay is also considered a dragon!
Yes, this is an electric dragon with a purple body and flashes of lightning all over its body.
Normally, the dragons and dragon gods of Cathay have the same meaning, because even at its most prosperous time, there were only 11 dragon gods in Cathay.
A powerful couple and their nine children.
After that, some of their children may have had offspring with mortals, but very few of them could transform into dragons.
And that often requires a long casting time, special rituals, materials, etc.
At the same time, it will also become extremely fragile during casting. In short, it is difficult to do on the battlefield, and it is definitely difficult to appear as quickly as the dragon cloud element.
So what is usually called a dragon is the dragon god.
That's why Levi was so surprised. He really didn't expect it.
As a being with a level 6 elite template, its melee combat ability may not be particularly strong, not as good as the Iron Dragon Golem of the same level, but it is better in that it can fly, swim, and can cast a variety of wind and electricity spells.
.
And most importantly, the signature ability - Might of the Dragon, all units whose level is not higher than it may be affected.
The specific effects range from weakening the opponent's attributes to simply inflicting fear, causing them to flee from battle, etc.
No, it hasn't launched any attack yet, it just simply approaches Levi from the summoning position. Many enemies in the water below are already scared to death.
Whether it is the pirates of Nibon or the snake people from the hinterland of Horeth, how could they not recognize this image?
Especially the heroine of the Blue Sea - Minglong - Yinyin in Dragon God of Cathay. She is also the admiral of the dragon fleet. She has personally participated in the battle against the Nibon pirates more than once.
Even though many of them have not entered the range of its skills at all, the fear deep in their bones and souls is already reminding them:
Invincible, escape first!
So without any warning at all, at least fifty or sixty Nippon pirate ships began to escape, leaving many of their companions confused.
Levi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he directly instructed the dragon cloud element to launch the most powerful spell, destroying many small broken ships with one blow.
This time, the surrounding Nippon pirates became more and more certain that it was not some nihilistic illusion, but a real existence.
As a result, more Nippon pirates suddenly realized what they were doing and began to turn their boats around, preparing to escape.
Although the reason why they cooperated with the Queen of the Sea and the Dark Elves was partly because of the strength of the other party, and partly because of the gold coins.
But no matter how tempting the gold coins are, they have to live and go back to enjoy them. Otherwise, their property and wives may be at the expense of a neighbor.
The snake people were a little confused at first, but soon after Li Wei's deliberate instructions, they also noticed the existence of the dragon cloud element.
Li Wei also deliberately asked Su Mi and others to cooperate with the boat-cutting underwater, and successively confused many snake people.
At the same time, Donna is allowed to lead the team to attack. Now is a good opportunity to enter and harvest.
Although things were slightly unexpected, Khalida certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
She also asked the tomb priests to work together to cast spells and create some kind of super giant dragon illusion.
Now, even the stupid snake man knows what happened.
In addition, the tops of their heads were constantly being hit by trebuchets, arrow rains, magic, etc., and there seemed to be some monsters in the sea digging into the ship. All this made them realize that the opponent was a tough nut to crack.
Therefore, less than half a quarter of an hour after the war started, the snake people began to follow in the footsteps of the Nippon pirates and also began to escape.
Just by running like this, you can see the difference between the two warships.
Fortunately for the Nippon pirates, they either have small ships that can be easily turned around, or they are special warships copied from Cathay and modified.
Both the front and rear can be temporarily used as the stern or bow, so their escape process is mostly smooth.
But the snake people were very uncomfortable, because due to the shape of their warship, they needed a relatively large space to turn around.
Normally, that would be fine, but now the two sides are on fire. How could the enemy give them a chance?
Of course Khalida would not give them a chance. The warships of the Tomb Kings may not be very glamorous in appearance, but they also have many advantages, one of which is that they can run fast.
Not only because the warships are driven by magic, but also because most of them are skeletons or mummies, weighing only a few pounds.
At the same time, Li Wei gradually realized that Khalida had indeed prepared a lot for this naval battle.
Although the defense and health of the skeleton archers she brought this time were still very fragile and could be said to be destroyed by a single touch, a considerable number of them used enchanted arrows, which greatly improved their killing efficiency.
But despite this, the chase lasted for almost an hour before it ended completely.
Looking around, there were pieces of warships and corpses everywhere on the sea, and many places were simply stained red with blood.
After the battle was over, Li Wei and the others gained another epic victory as expected, which raised his battle level by another level. Cindy and others also gained something.
Legal units such as Sefa and Sally use experience points to get soft.
Because many of the Nippon pirates' small broken ships were built at the drop of a hat.
If they fall into the water, whether they are burned to death, drowned, or killed by other friendly forces, a portion of their experience points will be given to them.
The dragon turtles were in a similar situation. They often swam under the Nippon pirate's boat, and then suddenly accelerated to the surface, knocking the boat over or simply destroying it. This was slightly stronger than Levi expected.
It's just that Elegy and other warriors feel a bit bored, because most of them have been watching the show, and in this kind of chase battle, they have almost no chance to take action.
Su Mi and others were also very happy. They came here to repay their kindness and were ready to pay a heavy price.
But who would have thought that this first naval battle would go so smoothly?
Apart from about a hundred or so sea snakes, the opponent did not have any other powerful troops underwater.
Those kappas and the like brought by the Nippon pirates were not used for naval battles. So they fought very happily in this battle.
Khalida was also very happy, because after the post-war statistics, her own losses were only a few tenths of the enemy's.
Most of this is caused by those snake people who saw that the situation was not good and chose to fight to the end.
Although they look quite ugly, there are actually some strong ones among them.
So she didn't care at all about Li Wei's behavior of directly exposing them in the first battle.
With this result, she already has enough confidence even if she faces the Dragon Prince Imrik in person.
She just didn't expect that the phantom of the Dragon God of Cathay could exert such power.
How afraid are they of each other? And the God of Nibon and the Snake Man have just allowed this kind of emotion to grow?
Or are they simply unable to do anything about it?
In comparison, the quantity and quality of the loot they harvested this time were somewhat unsatisfactory.
On the one hand, it is because the opponent is indeed very poor, and on the other hand, it is because of the special environment of naval battles.
If a lot of trophies are not salvaged in time, you won’t know where they were photographed as soon as the waves pass by.
When the battle was fierce, even with Sumi and the other water tribes watching, it was difficult to be perfect, and there was nothing we could do about it.
But after the brief joy, Levi frowned a little.
Because he noticed that among the enemies this time, the number and proportion of legal troops such as snake-man spellcasters and snake-man priests were unexpectedly high.
The information provided by Khalida before has been increased by almost 10 times. This is too abnormal.
Does this mean that the cooperation between the Snake God, the Sea Queen and the Dark Elves is deeper than they expected?
When Levi raised this concern, Khalida smiled slightly: "Levi, don't worry, the snake-man god is not without enemies."
"It just so happens that you have a very good stepping stone."
After a slight pause, she continued: "You may not know yet, but four of the nine second-generation Dragon Gods in Cathay have not appeared in public for a long time."
"I once received news from the Yuan family that some of them have disappeared, including Guanglong Shenzhu."
"At this time, do you think it is just a pure coincidence that you used the holy magic from the Seventh Heaven Mountain to summon the form of a dragon?"
