It took a long time for Li Wei and Penthesilea to discuss relevant cooperation.
Amazons are good at bows and arrows, spear throwing and jungle warfare, followed by riding and animal taming. Except for not having tree people as allies, in other aspects, they are actually quite similar to wood elves.
Of course, the overall strength is definitely not as good as that of Wood Elves, because Wood Elves are not only more numerous and very good at magic, but also have longer lifespans, so it is often easier to hone powerful skills and strength.
The Amazon's magic is not outstanding. Except for the curse witch who was trained by Zeus as the god of death, so she masters many curse and dark magics, the other spellcasters on the island are basically priests, who are essentially priests.
.
With the departure of Zeus and other gods, their strength also plummeted, because the priest's spells were originally the power obtained from the gods.
Now, in addition to using basic bows, arrows and spears for self-defense, the priests can also grow some herbs and serve as pharmacists and doctors.
Or they can tame a group of snakes, temporarily act as a druid, drive the snakes to fight, extract snake venom, and apply some poison to Amazon weapons.
Of course, if Lilith or other gods are willing to accept them, they can spend some time changing their beliefs and soon regain some of their spellcasting abilities.
Such experienced priests are quite popular with other gods as long as they pass the test in terms of faith.
But in a short period of time, they are still of little use.
In terms of military types, Li Wei basically learned about them all in advance from Elegy and Donna.
For Levi, the more Amazons the better, and the many monsters are also very good, but there is a serious problem here.
That is, the Amazons rely on the divine power of the gods to reproduce, and there are no god-given buildings related to the arms.
This means that if Amazon wants to develop and restore its population, it must seek refuge with a god. It also means that it is impossible for Li Wei to get too many troops from them, especially in this special situation.
Perhaps Penthesilea also knew that she had too few cards, so she offered to give half of it to Li Wei after the Amazons who were still poisonous snakes were rescued.
And their only level 5 unit produced from a god-given building - Guardian of the Spiritual Spring, which can be freely recruited by Li Wei.
Speaking of this kind of military unit, we have to mention a special god-given building on Paradise Island - the Fountain of Youth.
As the name suggests, if mortals can drink 1 unit of spiritual spring, they will be able to maintain their youthful appearance for the next month.
If you drink it continuously for 100 months, the effect will be constant and there is no need to drink it again in the future.
Unless you are near the end of your lifespan, or like a cursed witch, you overdraw your vitality in a large amount at once, you will never age again.
The Spring of Youth produces 3 units every day, 90 units a month. Even if the goddesses occasionally come to take away some of it, it still allows the many elders on Paradise Island to maintain their youth and beauty.
It's a pity that the shelf life of the spiritual spring is only 3 days, and they have not found a solution. Otherwise, Penthesilea would be sure to repay Li Wei's debt based on this alone.
But Levi was still tempted. Divinity could increase the maximum lifespan by 10 times, but it would still inevitably lead to physical aging, but the process might be much slower than that of ordinary people.
This effect of eternal youth will definitely be of great interest to both Dirge and Donna, as well as Khalida and Michaela.
Even the Dragon Prince and others would definitely not mind taking a few sips.
Some male elves are pretty, but they are no worse than female elves.
Those human nobles and so on will definitely be very willing to have a few bites.
As for the shelf life issue, if Amazon can't handle it, he can ask Mikayla to contact some elf mages, and they can always find a way.
He couldn't estimate the value of this thing for the time being, but he felt that even if he left some of it for Penthesilea and the others, it wouldn't be too much to earn ten thousand or eight thousand a month, right?
Moreover, he felt that selling only raw materials would be a waste of resources. If it were made into a special potion through magic alchemy, its effect and value would be greatly improved.
Anyway, Penthesilea wanted to repay himself by selling it, so he might as well keep it to himself for a few months and let Michaela find someone to do some experiments. If it succeeds, it will be a super big deal with huge profits.
The Guardians of the Spiritual Fountain and the Spiritual Fountain of Youth were born together. In addition to maintaining their youth, they also have extremely strong physical strength and very low demand for supplies. It is not a problem to go without food for three to five days.
They also have strong resistance to toxins, and have a certain degree of self-healing ability, which can restore 1 point of health every second.
At the same time, they are also a relatively rare type among the Amazons. They are heavily armored, bear shields, and use long swords or spears as weapons.
Overall, they are very qualified defensive troops. As for the slow speed, it is not a problem. It is not their turn to chase down the enemy anyway.
In terms of monsters, Amazon has a variety of dinosaurs such as cold lizards, saber-toothed tigers, ground vultures, giant macaws, and Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and even Tyrannosaurus, which can serve as war beasts or mounts.
But similarly, they are all domesticated by Amazon themselves, rather than recruited from God-given buildings.
This makes the whole process relatively long, and once the war beasts die, it will take a long time to replenish them.
This time, they were attacked by the Talos Church and their entire army was basically wiped out.
Penthesilea said that they would work hard to tame the beasts and repay the debt, but with this output, Levi felt that they should not have any expectations in the short term.
But there is an exception. Apart from a small number of level 7 Vajra Giant Apes that are born naturally, they can also be recruited from special god-given buildings.
Levi was also very surprised when he heard this. What Donna and Elegy knew was that this was not the case. It could only be said that the queen had even deceived them all.
As a seventh-level war beast, the King Kong Giant Ape has thick skin and thick flesh, and is very powerful and physically strong. Compared to its size, it can definitely be called flexible.
Their recruitment mechanism is very different from that of ordinary soldiers. They can recruit 5 soldiers every month.
Penthesilea decided to give all the quota to Li Wei not only to repay part of the kindness, but also not entirely because their recruitment fee is as high as 1,500 gold per head, but also because they are super edible and Amazon cannot afford to feed them.
But King Kong also has many advantages.
First of all, they don’t require maintenance fees because they are included in the daily food.
Secondly, as special apes, their intelligence is quite high, basically equivalent to ordinary 7- or 8-year-old human cubs.
After a little training, they can not only be equipped with weapons and armor, but can even learn some superficial martial arts.
Although the health value is only about 3500, which is far inferior to the Great Unclean One of Nurgle, the King Kong Giant Ape in its prime state can still absolutely crush Levi's Sphinx.
If they become elite units and equipped with particularly powerful equipment, they may not be unable to defeat the Great Unclean One of Nurgle.
Unfortunately, there are no rich resources on the island. There are only a few iron ore mines, stone mines and lumber mills, which can barely maintain the daily needs of the Amazons, but they are not of much value.
Because the Greek pantheon came too late, they were just clones, their average strength was not high, their foundation was shallow, and they were not able to get to the truly rich places.
Being able to seize this paradise island with many kinds of beasts and establish a relationship with the lizard people of Lustria, they are already very capable.
In Penthesilea's own little treasury, there are also some knick-knacks she had accumulated in the past.
For example, there are dozens of low- and mid-level magic books about earth, fire, water, wind, and thunder. The obsidian throat-cutting blade blessed by the priests can strengthen physical strength and greatly enhance resistance to fear in a short period of time.
Koka magic medicine and so on.
The value is not high, but it is still quite rare and should be worth a little money.
Then there is the unique totem mark of the Amazons, which is somewhat similar to the green-skinned war pattern. By painting magical patterns on their bodies, the Amazons will be able to gain some special powers after paying a slight price.
Donna has the piranha, falcon, and panther warrior in the Amazon, and most of them are determined based on the totem marks they choose.
Among them, Piranha emphasizes aggression and lethality. While increasing the critical hit rate, it may also cause bleeding effects;
The falcon can improve the maximum field of view and the hit rate of long-range attacks, and is generally preferred by archers;
The black panther is synonymous with agility and ferocity, and can enhance dodge and attack power.
There are so many kinds.
As for their costs, they are actually relatively minor. What's great is lowering the life or magic limit or something.
Penthesilea said that he could help elves or humans in need to draw these totem marks. If the price is right, it is not impossible to sell the technology directly and permanently.
As for the end, of course it is herself.
"Levi, how much do you think I'm worth?"
When a fair-skinned and beautiful man with long legs asked such a question, Li Wei felt a little strange in his heart, but of course he knew that the other person was actually asking about the price of a legendary hero.
"You want to be a mercenary? What about the reconstruction of Paradise Island?"
"I only know how to fight, and Lavasana is even better at it. She has always been secretly helping me."
Li Wei smiled: "If you are willing to become my partner in fighting from now on, then the so-called debt will naturally be written off directly."
"But if it's just temporary employment, then it's 500 per day, and double it when there's a battle. If there are legendaries or higher among the enemies, how about giving extra rewards based on the difficulty of the battle?"
Penthesilea's eyes widened instantly. As a descendant of God, she had never been a mercenary, but she also knew that the price was undoubtedly very high.
A rough estimate is that the 100,000 gold coins she owes will probably be repaid in more than half a year!
She immediately nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I agree!"
Li Wei also felt very satisfied. She was a descendant of the God of War and had fully demonstrated her strength in the previous battles.
He has a large shield in his hand, which is obviously of very high quality and cannot even be broken by a newborn.
Those level 6-7 demons seemed very arrogant, but they were still firmly guarded by her, and they didn't even lose much blood. From beginning to end, Cindy didn't cast any healing spells on her.
He is capable of resisting and fighting, his agility is not weak, and he can throw a spear with one hand. Apart from not being able to use magic, he is almost an enhanced version of Maltis.
The only drawback is that her output is not very high.
In previous battles, she had no problem picking up those Chaos Eggs, because those guys were like thin-skinned and big-filled wontons, with almost no defense.
But when dealing with two kinds of heavily armored Khorne demons, she obviously had some difficulty.
Even if it was a one-on-one fight, she would probably have to use some tricks to kill the opponent.
But this top-notch human shield works perfectly with himself and spellcasters such as Sefa and Sally.
Although Cindy and Elegy are very capable of surviving, they are not professionals after all.
He seems to have spent a lot of money, but as long as he can defeat a few more legends and explode a few legends or legendary equipment, he will almost get his money back.
If you encounter a divine enemy, you will make a lot of money.
And according to his next plan, three to five legendaries would be considered a small amount.
She has been staying on Paradise Island, and she still has no idea how much the outside world has changed.
He is not worried about her running away once she pays off the money. Let alone the reconstruction of Paradise Island, which will definitely require a lot of resource support in the future. As long as he gives more favors in peacetime, such as divinity, she is afraid that she will not be able to part with it.
Gone.
Then there are some details. For example, there are about 20 special feathered serpents on Paradise Island, and Penthesilea will give them all to Li Wei.
Now, no matter whether it is assigned to Donna, it will help her better hide the Sky Slayer and flying troops.
Or it can be given to Luna's reconnaissance unit, which can exert very good power.
And send someone to check whether all the King Kong Giant Apes on the island have been killed by the people of Talos Church. If not, they can be handed over to Levi now.
These super foodies usually hate men, but as long as Amazon is around, they will definitely be very tame.
Then it was time to gather the Amazons scattered in various villages. Now that they have suffered such a disaster, it is the time when they need to concentrate their efforts.
Finally, special Star Blades were awarded to Donna, Elegy and others.
Although their quality is only epic, they have the functions of battle treasures and weapons. They also have additional bonuses for Amazons, and can reduce part of Amazon's recruitment fees and maintenance fees. They are considered equipment with very strong comprehensive functions.
More importantly, they are handed down from the gods, and only true Amazon heroes are qualified to wear them, which is both a symbol and an honor.
Not only does it take effect on Paradise Island, even if it is taken to Lustria, they will treat it with courtesy after seeing the Star Blade, and will also allow Elegy to recruit some troops.
Levi also remembered that the three Anaconda sisters from Lustria had the same thing hanging on their waists before. At that time, Donna and the others were a little curious and envious.
However, Penthesilea boasted so much that Li Wei didn't pay much attention.
Anaconda and the others were not even at level 10 at the beginning, and they were not very good in terms of commanding ability or combat. They couldn't even handle it with one person?
Even though the rules in Lustria may be different from those in Paradise Island, this thing is certainly not particularly rare.
And he felt that with Zeus and other gods running away, and the cursed witch's sister being killed by Pan, the Amazons in Lustria might be in a different situation now. This thing may not be as bad as imagined.
it works.
Then he also asked about the situation there. Donna and Elegy didn't know about it, but Penthesilea and the Cursed Witch obviously knew about it.
Then Li Wei learned that the situation there was similar to that of Paradise Island, with a witch paired with a divine warrior.
Every certain period of time, the Greek gods would let their descendants take turns to be the queens of the two places. The other descendants of the gods who had not taken their turn would stay in the kingdom of the gods with the gods.
Then in the chaos caused by Zeus, they seemed to be completely wiped out, leaving only Penthesilea and her biological sister in Lustria who were on duty this time and escaped.
Her name is Hippolyta, and unlike Penthesilea, whose profession is the daughter of the God of War, she chose to become an archery practitioner. She is better at archery and command.
But no matter what, she is also a legendary hero and her combat power is still very good.
If it weren't for the distance, Penthesilea would have thought of asking her for help.
At this time, the Mercy Messenger also sent news that he had successfully arranged the purification circle using the materials Li Wei had just given him.
As long as the normal operation of the magic circle is maintained, the Amazons will gradually return to their original state.
It's time for him to leave. Even if there is a certain reason, it is not good to stay in the main world for too long.
The gods regard mortals in the main world as forbidden, which makes alien beings like him who sincerely want to help good people always encounter some constraints.
Li Wei also expressed his gratitude, and then he and Penthesilea left this space.
Chusheng is dead, and there is no need to exist here anymore. You can find an opportunity to talk to her later, and dismantle the sealing circle and other things together in exchange for money.
After all, it was left by the Greek gods themselves, so maybe you can get something unexpected.
Then he planned to send a message to Khalida immediately, asking her to help prepare some elemental crystals or something, but there was no need to tell Penthesilea about this.
Then as soon as he came out, Levi saw a cursed witch sitting on the ground among the dense venomous snakes with a smile on her face.
Compared to just now, her aging seems to have been slightly alleviated.
Without Li Wei asking questions, she already took the initiative to tell her that it was the generosity of the Mercy Messenger. As long as she stayed in the magic circle with the Amazons, she could slowly recover, and she would stay here for the rest of the time.
Although they voluntarily sacrificed their lives to protect Paradise Island, what they became now was also related to her, and she was willing to tide over this difficulty with them.
Moreover, the magic circle also needs to be guarded by spellcasters, just in case. Even those heroic souls need to be comforted by the power of the magic circle.
Originally, they resisted the Church of Talos and the Newborn with a death wish. Now that the powerful enemy is gone, they no longer need to lose their souls. However, new problems have arisen.
Most of the gods they believed in, such as Zeus, ran away, and now there is no kingdom of gods to accept them.
There are only two paths before them: wait for the guidance of the God of Death in the human pantheon, and then face an unknown destiny.
Or take a gamble and place your hopes on Diana who has not yet replied to the letter.
But as temporarily transformed heroic souls, their remaining strength, consciousness, and even rationality are being consumed and weakened every moment.
Without the help of the magic circle, they would not be able to survive for long, which would also require cursed witches and more elemental crystals.
And the Curse Witch also said that she has successfully contacted some of the priests who have lost their power. They have now successfully gathered some of the Amazon remnants and are preparing to rebuild two troops specializing in poison attacks:
Jungle Serpent Archer and Python Spear Warrior.
Once they succeed and become stronger, they can become reliable guards of the treetop city, or they can be handed over to Li Wei to serve as mercenaries.
Although this was good news, it left the Queen speechless.
Of course she hopes that these sisters who have devoted themselves to Paradise Island will have a better ending, but this seriously conflicts with her previous plan.
She has decided to help Levi fight. If the cursed witch is sitting here, who will take care of Paradise Island?
Seeing something strange in her expression, the Cursed Witch couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, and then after listening, she also frowned a little.
The two looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
Li Wei smiled slightly, wouldn't the opportunity come now?
"I can help find professionals from the elves, including internal planners to rebuild Paradise Island, necessary earth mages, construction workers, and various resources needed for the reconstruction work, and even patrols needed on the island and nearby waters.
Team."
Alyssa was originally the best at internal affairs. Since she was promoted to the hero unit, Levi has given her more authority so that she can start training adjutants.
Especially after being recently assigned to plan and manage Fear Rock, the demand in this area has increased significantly, so she has also dug out several lieutenants one after another.
In addition, Michaela also hired some relevant personnel from Black Castle and Ash Ridge Town, which is enough to meet the needs of Paradise Island without delaying Dread Rock.
Even if necessary, Michaela can do more.
Even though she has been following Li Wei everywhere recently, she had also stayed in the colony for some years before, and her relationship there would not be easily severed.
As for the patrol team, just leave it to Luna's several lieutenants and Sumi's water tribe troops.
If nothing else works, he can hand over some death guards to Amazon.
Although the priests have lost the spellcasting ability of priests, they still have no problem controlling some ordinary death guards.
As long as you survive the initial difficult period, the situation will soon improve.
The Mercy Messenger's purification array is not meant to purify tens of thousands of people at once, as that process would be too long and risky.
As long as the magic circle lasts, a certain number of Amazons will be restored to human form every day. After a little rest, they will soon be able to rejoin the garrison of Paradise Island.
Looking at the smiling Levi, Penthesilea could only nod slightly helplessly again.
Now that things have come to this, where does she still have any choice?
I just hope that Goddess Diana can restore contact and give them some help!
So after Levi borrowed money from Khalida, he immediately began to organize and rebuild Paradise Island, and successfully harvested three King Kong Giant Apes.
Talos Church's main attack direction is the treetop city, so the losses suffered in other places are not particularly large.
In addition, these big guys looked very difficult to deal with, and they were far away from the treetop city, so the people from Talos Church stopped taking action after a little trial.
I guess they originally planned to let the sword master take action, but they didn't expect that they were all killed later.
These big guys are almost five meters tall when they are on all fours, and three stories tall when they stand up. They look very intimidating.
In fact, after seeing them, Levi discovered that they were really just like unicorns, and their attitudes towards men and women were completely different.
It is obvious that he is a celestial mystic who is very popular among many celestial beings, but in the end, they do not abandon him at all.
But when it comes to women, not only Amazons like Elegy, but also death elves like Cindy, Sefa, and even Maltis, they all treat them equally.
And often the stronger they are, the more enthusiastic they are.
At the same time, because their intelligence is not low, they will take the initiative to pick some fresh fruits, flowers and plants from time to time and give them as gifts.
This doesn't even have anything to do with their own gender. Female Vajras are the same, which makes Elegy and others very happy, but leaves Levi a little speechless.
Levi felt that if he built some giant armors and shields for them, they would protect them with their own lives without him saying anything or signing a contract.
With this in mind, he asked the dwarf blacksmiths at Dread Rock to give them priority in forging shields.
In the recent battle, mages such as Michaela, Sefa and Sally did not gain much, so this time they were given a diamond as a guard.
Then there were about 20 feathered snakes that could cover the troops. Levi distributed them to Donna, Carillian and Luna, letting them take the time to get familiar with them.
But after actually trying it, they all said that the feathered snake was indeed very useful, but the effect was not as strong as they imagined.
The first is that there are too few of them.
The range that a single feathered serpent can cover is very limited. At least two feathered serpents need to work together to cover a Sky Slayer. Without the cooperation of the mist of the little female dragon, even if all these feathered serpents are given to Donna, they will not be enough.
.
Secondly, in a real battle, even if the enemy cannot see the troops under the Quetzalcoatl for the time being, will they really do nothing when facing the approaching Quetzalcoatl? I am afraid that subconsciously they will just throw a bunch of magic and arrows at them first.
Arrow right?
Not to mention that this is very likely to hurt the invisible troops, the Quetzalcoatl itself is also very weak to being beaten. If they are really used like this, then basically every battle, the Quetzalcoatl may suffer attrition.
Therefore, in order to maximize their power, they need to practice more and coordinate with magic.
For example, under the wings of the feathered serpent, there is a powerful mage who also casts the invisibility spell on the feathered serpent.
However, more research is needed on the specific details.
Because the invisibility provided by the Quetzalcoatl is the most common form of invisibility. It can only simply block the enemy's sight, but cannot block the sense of smell, etc.
When passing by the beach and grass, it will also leave extremely obvious footprints, which are serious loopholes.
Everything else is also running smoothly.
After giving Michaela a trial of the Fountain of Youth, she happily ran to the colony to find some mages who were friends with her, and tried to use it as raw materials to create a real potion that could maintain youth forever.
Sumi also sent several of her little sisters to become temporary patrol guards of Paradise Island.
They have fought several battles recently and gained a lot of experience points and loot. However, they also urgently need gold coins to recruit new troops, so they do not refuse such tasks.
And it won't be too boring. Whether it's evil fishmen and sahuagins, snake pirates or nippon pirates, there will never be a shortage of them in this sea area, not to mention the countless vicious sea beasts.
.
In addition, Li Wei also gave a lot of money, so they were very willing.
Yes, the money Levi borrowed from Khalida did not fall into the hands of Amazon, but was spent directly.
It is obvious that Sumi and others are working for the Amazons, but in fact he is the employer.
Because only in this way can he get the maximum benefit from Amazon.
Penthesilea and the others were aware of this, but they did not have any dissatisfaction, because in such a critical moment, they were already quite grateful that Li Wei could lend a helping hand.
It's really hard to borrow money these days.
Anyway, as long as they can save those tens of thousands of Amazons, they are willing to pay the price.
Then Levi gave it to the Amazon priests who had lost their spells, some flying eagle type and scorpion type death guards, and let them use them for daily patrols.
On the other hand, Kyle felt rather regretful about not being able to participate in the battle with Paine, the Daemon of Khorne, and the Firstborn.
His level is not low, but he seriously lacks experience in fighting against strong men. Seeing the opportunity approaching, he failed to grasp it, and he was really unwilling to do so.
But the other blood elf heroes, on the surface, were comforting Kyle, saying that there would be opportunities in the future.
Secretly, they thanked Li Wei one after another to express their gratitude.
Kyle is the last blood descendant of the Sunstrider Court, and they really don't want him to be involved in any danger.
Especially now that he not only doesn't have any offspring, he doesn't even have a girlfriend, so he can't take any risks.
Levi immediately understood what these guys meant. In addition to not wanting Kyle to continue participating in dangerous battles, he also wanted to find him a girlfriend so that he could continue the family line?
He actually felt that this matter was very reliable. In front of him was the Amazon paradise island where all women were members. With Kyle's strength, appearance and identity, he was not afraid of finding a partner.
And if the current situation continues, the high elves and the Amazons will definitely become solid allies.
If Kael marries one or more Amazons, the blood elves will be connected to Paradise Island, and they will never leave Dreadrock.
