Thanks to Grena's full cooperation, the process went very smoothly.
Although she has been locked up in the core area as a slave, as a prophet and a person with different aspirations, of course she is always paying attention to collecting all useful information, which helps Li Wei a lot.
Happy Forgotten Palace (Black Ark)
(Because you failed to obtain the authorization from the Witch King and Witch Queen, but instead occupied it by force, you are temporarily unable to use all functions normally and can only view part of the information)
Super giant vehicle (15 kilometers x 28 kilometers)

Special Building 1: Composite Mage Tower-Temple, the current worship gods are:

God of Disaster-Illinir (weak divine power)
Hydra Queen - Hecate (weak divine power).
Can cast battle magic: Kane's whip, soul rain, vicious black fire, blood pool from the sky.
Special Building 2: Sea Beast Capture House.
Special Building 3: Black City Wall (105 meters high, current overall integrity is 97%)
Seeing this, Li Wei was really shocked.
Even if he already knew from Grena, the black city wall of the Ark should be calculated from the underwater part, so the high point is understandable.
But after they put in so much effort, they only got 3%?
Although in actual battles, it is not necessary to break down all the city walls before launching an attack, as long as there is a breakthrough, it is enough.
But it can also be roughly seen that Black Ark's defense is really invincible.
This also made him more and more tempted. No matter what the price, he must persuade Lilith to help him solve the key problem.
As for the source of power, several other Levis can probably understand it. After Grena explained the power transformation ritual, Levi also immediately understood it.
To put it simply, that thing is like a super giant hamster wheel.
There is a large lake in the south of Black Ark that can be connected to the bottom of the sea. Dark elves can usually catch fish for food and various sea beasts.
Sea beasts that have fighting power and are relatively easy to tame will try to transform into their own troops, and then put them together with those Hydras and the like, and drive them to fight the enemy.
If they are those who have no fighting ability or are stubborn, they will throw them into the lake, first use magic to confuse them, and then make them spin in circles wildly.
At that time, the magic circle will absorb its kinetic energy and serve as the driving force for the operation of the Black Ark.
When those sea beasts have lost their strength or are exhausted to death, the dark elves will either kill them and eat their meat, or pull them into the sacrificial circle and use them again.
Coupled with the traction of the mage tower and sea beasts, Black Ark's power sources are still very diverse.
But despite this, because its area is so large, unless it is still, moving will cost money, and it costs thousands of gold coins of magic crystal every day.
If there was a war like today, tens of thousands of gold coins would probably be lost. Such a huge expense would make it difficult for ordinary dark elf lords to afford it.
This is also one of the reasons why the dark elves tend to rob more crazily after obtaining the black ark.
Now that the dark elves have fled with the Hydra and others, without their traction, the cost of simply using magic crystals will be even higher.
As for other buildings, they are almost the same as ordinary dark elf towns, including blacksmith shops, grocery stores, and taverns.
There are more than a dozen god-given buildings that can recruit dark elf pirates, gloomy swordsmen, fear spearmen, wizards, harpies, cold lizards and other troops, but Levi has not yet figured out how to use them.
Once these soldiers from the evil camp are recruited, they may immediately start a life-and-death fight with them due to conflicts between races and camps.
Although the Cold Lizard is a barely usable combat beast and mount, it is really difficult to deal with it as it goes crazy at every turn.
Levi felt that he either had to sell them to people who were not afraid of death through the Lotus of the Red Brotherhood, or the Sun Knights, etc., or he had to find some particularly professional animal trainers.
For example, lizard people or Amazons.
They can even deal with big dinosaurs, and they will definitely have no problem dealing with cold lizards.
It may not be easy over the lizard people, but Levi has decided to go to Paradise Island later.
With Donna and Dirge, and finding some animal trainers, it shouldn't be a big problem.
There are also buildings such as fighting halls and arenas, which were originally places where the dark elves used the lives of slaves for fun.
But because they hadn't had time to rob or capture slaves on a large scale, they had not been put to use for the time being.
Levi thought that with a little modification and some priests, they could become places where his subordinates could have daily leisure and entertainment, as well as earn some experience points.
If he is willing to spend some money, he can also follow the example of the big crocodile Sobek and give his subordinates something valuable as prizes to stimulate their enthusiasm.
However, there are still some beings worth saving in the slave camps.
Malus had robbed several times when he came here. These guys were the victims of one of the accidents, and they came to a rather special place, the country of mist - Obien.
It is said to be a country, but it is actually a large island located to the north of the high elf Ulthuan ring.
As the name suggests, it is shrouded in fog all year round, and there are some red-haired, blue-tattooed, savage and primitive human tribes living on it.
Albion is rich in a type of druid called the "Truth Speaker", as well as a variety of mercenaries.
But the most famous one is probably Stonehenge, which is carved with a type of Ogham script.
It is said that they can block the power of demons and demons, prevent the arrival of these otherworldly evils, and provide powerful power to the "Truth Speakers".
Li Wei is not sure whether it is true or not, because before the devil comes, they themselves are already in misery.
Because it did not form a unified country, but existed in the form of large and small tribes, the overall strength was not strong.
They are also hanging overseas, with no lawful and good allies nearby that they can rely on, so every time the Norscan pirates go out to sea in large numbers, or when the dark elves pass by, they will inevitably be robbed.
The power of Stonehenge is not enough to protect their safety.
However, it is said that there are some giants and swamp monsters near Stonehenge, and they will form a temporary alliance with them. I don’t know if it is true or not?
With such doubts, Li Wei released all the prisoners.
Without any hesitation, about three hundred Obiun soldiers all swore allegiance to Li Wei.
Because the environment in their hometown is too harsh, the Obiens are originally very professional mercenaries, habitually loyal to various lawful or good camps.
Facing the questions raised by Li Wei, they also gave a positive answer, there are indeed some big guys on the island.
But in recent times, they have become violent and irritable, killing people at every turn, and even the "Truth Speakers" have split into two parts.
Some of them called themselves "Dark Messengers" and led the giants to occupy Stonehenge, denying others access.
As soon as he heard this special name, Levi knew that there was a problem.
It’s just unclear which evil god is behind this, or is it simply the devil?
Although the life of the Obien people is a bit miserable, they are robbed all the year round, and the island is also filled with various swamps that are not suitable for survival, there are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of people on it.
For medium-level divine powers, they are all very attractive.
Unfortunately, even if he knew, he didn't have the energy to do anything for the time being, but he could provide the information to Lilith later.
Doesn’t she also have the identity of Lady of the Mist? She should be a good match for the Kingdom of Mist, right?
However, she should also know this, but she has never taken any corresponding action.
Speaking of which, there seems to be no god worship on Obien Island.
The craftsman's workshop can also manufacture Reaper Ballistas. Although this kind of war equipment is a specialty of the dark elves, it has no alignment at all, so it can still be used.
Then there is what Grena is most concerned about, the Hall of Silence where Medusa can be recruited.
Level 5 special units are still very valuable.
Even though the output is a little low, the two Halls of Silence can barely make up a team every week.
In addition, what Li Wei valued most was the area of the Black Ark.
It is a full 420 square kilometers, more than half of which is uncultivated rainforest, a quarter is plains suitable for farming, and a small part of the remaining area is used for garrisons, towns, etc.
If this is taken care of, hundreds of thousands of people can easily be fed simply by farming.
But the warehouse was empty. Levi only found magic crystals worth about 18,000 gold coins, which could be enough to run the Black Ark for about 10 days.
This is mainly because Malus also recently obtained it from the Witch King. He robbed a human on the way, killed two groups of pirates, and then went straight here without any savings.
In terms of defense, overall, the Black Ark does not have conventional offensive weapons such as ballistae, only the battle magic released by the mage tower, and then it carries many sea beasts and troops. From this aspect, it is a bit like an aircraft carrier.
But while it is powerful, it also has some disadvantages, not only in terms of energy consumption, but also in daily protection.
With an area of 420 square kilometers, the required garrison troops are naturally in the tens of thousands, and Black Ark's biggest weakness is actually anti-aircraft defense.
Under normal circumstances, Malus was in charge personally, and there were many black dragons, manticores, and thousands of harpies as the air force.
Coupled with the presence of a large number of black and sharp repeating crossbowmen, Medusa and many mages, this is naturally not a big problem.
But this time Malus mobilized part of his troops and encountered powerful enemies like Li Wei. They almost drove them straight in and fought all the way to the core area.
If the owner of the Black Ark is replaced by Li Wei in the future, then he will naturally be the one who has the headache. He does not have so many troops.
At the moment, he doesn't have any good solution to the problem. If a hostile army invades, he will naturally either use superior force to crush them, or use many battle magics to bombard them indiscriminately to prevent the opponent from approaching.
But if a few elites attack, there is no way to defend such a large area.
Unless, let Lilith and other goddesses help take some protective measures.
Malus worships Kane and other gods here. If Lilith, Moonbow and Illidan were replaced, would there be any special effects?
But Li Wei soon had no energy to think about this, because Khalida's fleet arrived.
After getting her order, her subordinates did not chase the fleeing dark elves, but came to meet them immediately.
The pursuit tasks are all handed over to those heroes chosen by God.
Li Wei selectively opened a gap and let her fleet in. Inside the Black Ark, there were multiple ports where warships could be parked.
Soon after, Su Mi also came in with the few remnants of the Water Tribe.
In the first half of the war, she and her little sisters suffered no losses.
But after confronting the Black Ark, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. After a few battle spells, the sea was filled with corpses.
Now the total number of troops added up to a group of people is less than four figures, which makes all of them look sad.
In order to repay Li Wei's kindness, they were indeed prepared to pay a price, but they never expected that the price would be so high that they were not even given a chance to regret or hesitate.
Levi could only comfort her a little, saying that as long as she followed him, he would definitely not treat them badly.
Now that we have obtained the Black Ark, it is the right time to employ people.
It just so happens that this special situation is also very suitable for aquatic tribes like Sumi.
In the sea, there is absolutely no shortage of monsters and battles, and Black Ark is undoubtedly a very stable and reliable rear area.
The only problem is that if Sumi makes a choice, their dependence on Levi will be very, very high.
If they still have ambitions and want to get their own town, it may not be easy for them to get the chance, because Black Ark needs them as defenders all the time.
But that requires them to discuss it themselves and consider it carefully. There will be gains and losses, and Li Wei will not force them.
Then he cooperated with Khalida and arranged most of the troops into defensive positions.
Since he is not a dark elf and has not been recognized by the dark elf Witch King and Witch Queen, Levi is indeed unable to restore the normal movement of the Black Ark for the time being, but in other aspects, there are almost no restrictions.
After all, no matter what, he has indeed officially occupied this place now.
It's just that Khalida's troops also suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and now only one-third of them are left, which is simply not enough to defend such a large Black Ark.
Black Ark can now garrison 200,000 troops, and Khalida's troops have just met about 5% of the requirements.
Even after learning about Li Wei's needs, she immediately asked the priests to send a message to Laemia City, and asked the priests who stayed behind to awaken the troops buried in the ground of Laemia City as quickly as possible, but that still required
A certain amount of time.
So she temporarily mobilized the garrison from other towns and asked them to rush over as soon as possible.
Levi was quite grateful for this, because it meant that her town would become weak in a short period of time.
As for the various Death Guards and Dragon Golems that Levi spent so long accumulating, even if he activated more than 90% of them on the spot, they would still be a drop in the bucket.
There is no way, the area of Black Ark is really too big.
After some time, after Li Wei prioritized arranging his existing troops in some of the most important places, those deserters were also chased a long distance away.
The system officially reminded him that this massive naval battle was over. He won another hearty victory and gained 3 legendary points.
Cindy, Elegy and others have upgraded one after another, improving their strength, but it is Donna who has really gained the most.
Because after going through so many battles, she was finally promoted to a legendary hero.
She did not receive additional attribute enhancements, but the bonus to health and mana based on physical fitness and intelligence was doubled again, and the enhancement to the upper limit of life and magic became +100.
In this way, one point of her constitution can increase her health by 30 points. With other bonuses and magical enhancements such as false life, she can easily exceed 500 points when entering a battle.
As long as you are not attacked by a particularly powerful enemy, your life safety can still be guaranteed.
But the system also reminded him that she had reached her current limit and needed to raise her combat level to 21 and become a legend before she could make further breakthroughs.
Yes, it's just possible.
Levi feels that in addition to level, talent, record, or passing certain trials may be needed to upgrade the quality to legendary.
If you think about it, you can understand that although the level of a scumbag like Bad Guan is legendary, his quality is obviously not that of a hero.
But the Dragon Prince, Teclis, Black Arkhan, and even Khalida are definitely twin legends.
Each of them is a famous figure in the main world.
As for the loot, since the Black Ark was newly acquired by Malus, there wasn’t much.
Those equipments dropped by ordinary dark elves are not very attractive to Levi now.
On the other hand, the equipment captured by Lunala was quite good, a piece of legendary crimson armor, which was basically similar to the super powerful enhanced version of Alduin's Vanguard Shield.
In addition to its strong defense, it can also provide various effects such as life limit, damage blocking and life recovery.
Li Wei naturally handed over Elegy, who had the strongest melee ability on his side. Although Cindy often charged into battle, she also had a variety of healing skills, so she didn't particularly need it.
Next is an epic dark frost blade, which can attack with both darkness and frost attributes at the same time, and has a chance to slow down the target.
Since it was a one-handed sword, it was not suitable for Elegy, and its dark attribute was not suitable for Alduin as a paladin, so Levi threw it to the magic swordsman Nochon.
Since his job change, his upgrade speed has increased several times, and he has also shown keen insight and certain command abilities.
What can be expected is that as long as he is trained for a period of time, he can become one of Li Wei's generals.
An Edreze amulet has no attributes of its own and only comes with one active skill - Edreze's Strike.
Adreze is the Lord of Blades among the elven gods, and the Dragon Prince once had a crush on him.
It's just that he himself is not very strong, he is just a weak divine power, and he does not have any powerful priesthood.
In addition, it is a chaotic camp, and it seems that it has not thought about vigorously developing the church, so its sense of existence is very weak.
In fact, this is also the current situation of many weaker and chaotic camps with weak divine power.
Because they are limited by their own clergy, fields, backgrounds, and many other aspects, no matter how hard they try, it will be difficult for them to grow, and they will simply fail.
The power that different clergy can provide, as well as the heights they can reach in the future, are really very different.
But this piece of equipment bearing his name is pretty good.
After activation, all attacks within 30 seconds will be armor-breaking (-20 defense, lasting 10 seconds), and the attack power will be strengthened by 20 points and the attack speed will be strengthened by 10%.
This is basically equivalent to increasing attack power by 40 points.
After thinking for a moment, Levi handed it to Sonia with his backhand.
Although this girl lost her legendary whip and was very discouraged at one time, she has become more diligent recently and has shown outstanding talents in both swordsmanship and archery. This can be regarded as a small reward for her.
Although others were not able to obtain equipment of this quality, they still had a lot of various gadgets and gold coins.
Li Wei was very generous to his subordinates who performed outstandingly.
Whether it is purchasing equipment, recruiting troops, or simply having fun, they do need a lot of gold coins.
After settling these matters, Khalida also received new information.
Some God-chosen heroes have detected the situation in Dread Rock. The dark elves are fighting against some disgusting demons whose bodies are covered with green abscesses and explode when beaten. They seem to be at a serious disadvantage now.
In fact, as soon as he heard this, the people who had rescued Lord Croca together with Li Wei already felt a little physically uncomfortable.
It is not difficult to kill those Nurgle demons. Their combat power is not much stronger than other demons of the same level. The key is that the process is too disgusting.
In addition, much of the land on Dread Rock has also turned green.
But what it represents is not the crispness of the vegetation, but instead it is full of corruption and ominousness, and even the air is filled with a foul smell.
There are even occasionally huge cysts on the ground. Once they are punctured, they will cause a small-scale plague infection to the surrounding troops, causing corrosion and poisoning.
Hearing this, Levi, Khalida and others looked at each other and became more and more certain that the land there had obviously been corrupted by the Nurgle Demon.
Although it is unknown what kind of deal Malus and the Nurgle Demon made before, the two parties joined forces to annihilate the lizardmen of the Spirit of Taebok.
But now it is obvious that at least one of the two parties no longer intends to keep their promise, so they went to war.
The question now is, what action will Li Wei and the others take and wait for the two sides to finish the fight?
Just as Levi, Khalida, Mikaela and others were discussing together, suddenly, they all looked in the direction of Fear Rock at the same time.
There, a completely white light fell from the sky. Even though they were far apart, they could still feel the boundless power, and there was also a vaguely familiar feeling in it.
After a little differentiation, Levi immediately confirmed: "It's the lizard man's teleportation magic!"
Khalida was also a little surprised: "It's such a large scale. Did they teleport an entire army?"
The dirge next to him suddenly became a little excited: "They must want to take revenge on the dark elves!"
Although there are rumors that the spirits of Tepok are somewhat unruly and do not obey Mazda's orders, they are still part of the lizard people.
They were beaten into this state of virtue, and it was impossible for the lizardmen not to react in any way.
Moreover, Lord Croka is known as the incarnation of Taibok, so he must be somewhat tied to the spirit of Taibok.
Regardless of whether it is public or private, the lizard man's revenge is a matter of course.
Similarly, this is also a very good opportunity for ourselves.
The three-party melee is the time when the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman is profiting.
As for the plague, Li Wei was not too worried, because the disaster avoidance book in Nagash's nine volumes happened to be its natural nemesis!
After understanding this, almost everyone became excited.
It's just that someone still needs to sit on top of the Black Ark, waiting for the reinforcements from Lahmia City and the High Elves.
In order to protect the Black Ark as much as possible, Levi has also sent an invitation for help to the Dragon Prince and the Sea Dreamer through Mikaela.
The main force of the Dragon Prince is still attacking Dragon Tooth Mountain, but it can still be done by dedicating a part to defend the Black Ark.
There is not much hope for the Sea Dreamers, because they suffered a wave of losses before. Although that is not their entire strength, they also have other tasks.
The Dragon Prince is attacking the dark elves, and he doesn't want pirates or other evil aliens to disturb them. This is what the Sea Dreamer needs to do.
Li Wei did not directly appoint candidates, but asked everyone to nominate themselves first.
So Alduin, who had always been very silent and pragmatic, took the lead to stand up.
To be honest, Levi was a little surprised, because judging from the other person's character, his hatred of demons should be far greater than his hatred of filth.
Alduin shouldn't be afraid of the stench and filth of Nurgle demons, right?
But soon Levi realized that he was wrong. Alduin actually had other plans. He wanted to bring over all the dragonborn from his hometown.
The Bronze Dragonborn Island is about 50 miles away from Bitao Village under Li Wei's command, so it's not particularly far from here.
Originally, they were relatively safe thanks to the level 15 bronze dragon hero on the island and the protection of the high elves.
But after following Levi and experiencing this series of battles, Alduin was no longer so stupid.
Apart from anything else, if Malus led the Black Ark to attack, even if the high elves wanted to protect them, they might not have time to do anything.
In his opinion, the best and safest way at present is to join Li Wei directly.
But he is not particularly good at eloquence, and he does not want to deceive his own people, so he needs to learn more about Black Ark first, and then think about what to say.
Li Wei naturally agreed with this. The average strength and potential of the Dragonborn race are better than ordinary humans or elves.
It's just that he doesn't expect much from Alduin's approach.
After being close to the colony for so long, they were not recruited by the Dragon Prince. There was obviously some special reason.
As far as he knew, the relationship between the dragon gods and the elven gods was never good.
The decline of the dragon god system seemed to have something to do with the elves and gods.
But there is no need to pour cold water on him at this time, just let him try his best.
Then there is Alyssa. Her personal combat ability is not outstanding, but she is better at command and logistics. Currently, Black Ark needs her more.
Then Michaela, Sally, Sefa and others also spoke one after another, expressing that they did not want to deal with the Nurgle Demon.
Li Wei can completely understand, because fire mages like them are really not suitable to go.
Nurgle demons are already full of stench, and when the fire magic is heated, the smell often becomes more intense.
Likewise, melee units are not suitable for fighting Nurgle Daemons.
So in the end we discussed it for a while, and Levi only brought Elegy, Cindy and Maldis.
He doesn't even plan to lead the air force led by Donna and Kerilian. Donna will shoulder the patrol and security tasks together with Luna.
Even if he wanted to go to Dread Rock to get a bargain, he had to focus on the Black Ark.
And he didn't go there to kill everyone this time, and they didn't have the ability.
According to intelligence, Malus still has 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops on Dread Rock, and there are even more Nurgle demons, which are simply overrun.
Therefore, it is better to let your main force stay behind the Black Ark to prevent any possible enemy raids.
In fact, he didn't even want to bring Elegy to them, but he had no choice. They had to fight alongside him, so he had no choice but to let them.
As for Khalida, she also decided to take some generals and priests with her to fight. Mummies have a very high tolerance for smells.
It's just that in order to protect the Black Ark this time, they don't have many troops to command. This will be a very elite assault team with less than 20 people.
I just don’t know how many chances Malus, Nurgle Demon and Lizardmen can give them?
