Although it was for revenge, due to the distance and time, in order to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, Levi still chose to use magic to teleport.
This means that the number of accompanying conventional troops is bound to not be too large.
Needless to say, Penthesilea naturally needs to say more. This will be her first battle for Li Wei. At the same time, she is also the strongest combat force on our side, so she will definitely accompany him.
Then came Dirge, Cindy, Martis, Sefa, Sally, the two little female dragons, and Donna, Luna and Carillian who each brought a few personal guards.
The others, Alduin, Alyssa, Lunala and others, will all stay behind to guard the Black Ark and Dread Rock.
Sonia is also rare and does not travel with her good sister Sefa.
On the one hand, it was because she had recently found her favorite way of fighting, which was bow and arrow. It happened that Dread Rock also needed a commander in this area to stay behind.
On the other hand, her family regained contact with her and sent people to Fear Rock.
Li Wei hasn't asked about the details yet, but judging from her mysterious appearance, it seems like it's something bad.
Combining the two, when Sonia asked to stay behind, Levi readily agreed.
Although the blood elf heroes secretly dissuaded him, Kyle still chose to go with Levi. Anyway, he had nothing to do in Dread Rock, so he might as well go outside and experience it.
Although the heroes were helpless, they could only choose to obey and accompany them as guards.
After all, they are just subordinates who can make suggestions or opinions, but they cannot really make decisions for Kyle.
This made Levi completely understand that as long as Kyle can accompany him, he can get some free cannon fodder every time.
Although these heroes are generally not of high level, they can still play a certain role with the support of equipment.
As for the army, Levi also chose the strongest lineup, including King Kong, mountain giants, hybrid giants, and multi-headed feathered serpents that were already equipped with metal weapons and armor, and then some auxiliary units such as priests and druids.
Their total number this time is only a little over a hundred, but their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
And because Levi's summoning spell has become increasingly powerful, Sefa and Sally have also gained some of the summoning authority granted by the Messenger of Mercy.
In addition, there are a large number of unactivated Death Guards in everyone's space rings. As long as the war requires, their total strength can be increased several times at any time.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that early in the morning, Lunala came over excitedly and reported to Levi, saying that the Black Ark suddenly became normal, as if the restrictions placed by the Witch King on it had completely disappeared.
Same.
Although this is very incredible and has never happened in history, it is undoubtedly a great good thing for them.
From now on, as long as Li Wei prepares sufficient troops and energy, the Black Ark can truly travel across the seas, instead of just being an oversized decoration in the port.
But Levi knew very well that Lilith must have been here, and with her strength, it was completely impossible for Lunala to detect it.
But this is indeed a good thing. As long as he has enough troops, he may not be able to send it out to do something...
For example, march eastward.
The Snakes and Nippons come out to be pirates every day, so he can go the other way and cause trouble for them.
These two forces are not monolithic within themselves. As long as they do not openly declare war on them collectively, but choose to take sides or support agents, they are very likely to successfully participate.
Even if the gods behind them know that this is a trick, mortals who think they are smart will always be tempted to seek skin from the tiger.
If the robbery is turned into an internal dispute, the impact will be much smaller.
Since he didn't know how much time it would take, and Levi also wanted to visit the Tomb Kings around his destination and the wood elves in the Orion camp, Levi gave Alyssa and the others a few more words.
.
During his absence, he mainly focused on defense. If he really encountered a strong enemy invasion, in addition to sending him information, he could also ask for help from Twin Moon World and Oostak City.
Thanks to Mercy Messenger, both places have now established a stable teleportation circle with Dread Rock, making it very convenient to support each other.
Furthermore, God-chosen heroes such as the Sun Knight and even the shield dwarves of the Underdark can also send a certain amount of troops.
If that doesn't work, there are Khalida and the Dragon Prince on the other side to help. In short, even if Levi is away for a short time, the defense of Fear Rock will not cause any major problems.
Seeing that the troops were about to set off, the fleet patrolling the sea reported that a new visitor had arrived. The other party claimed to have accepted Illidan's order and came to serve Li Wei.
Levi knew immediately that this should be the assassin Illidan mentioned before.
A few minutes later, a dozen female night elves with exquisite figures and special costumes gradually came into view.
The leader was wearing a green armor and a cape. The edge of the cape was a series of crescent-shaped sharp blades, which did not look like a mere decoration.
Under the owl-shaped helmet, in addition to a lavender lip, there are sharp and determined eyes.
Then there is a long ponytail, a pair of small wing-like decorations on the back of the shoulders, and a ring in the hand about half a meter in diameter, full of sharp blades.
The troops behind her were equipped with uniform light armor and throwing blades that were almost like a full moon.
But unlike the huntresses under Luna, there was still a little moonlight floating in the middle of their weapons, and they did not carry spare flying blades.
This seems to indicate that their weapons are very special.
Luna behind her suddenly said in slight surprise: "Sir, it's the Phantom Assassin Mortridy and her Watcher troops."
Luna quickly explained to Levi that the Watchers were a special force of the night elves.
In addition to serving as prison guards, they are also responsible for hunting down, killing and sealing various evil creatures, including but not limited to ratmen, greenskins, demons and devils, etc.
They have the characteristics of both huntresses and assassins, a combination of strength and agility, and can often easily blend into their surroundings.
The weapon in his hand has also been specially forged, and now it has been blessed by the Moon Bow Goddess…
After spending a little magic, a magical flying blade can fly out with each swing, so they don't need to carry too many spare weapons with them.
If they fight at night or under moonlight, their strength will be further improved.
Phantom Assassin-Mortred Shadowsong is from the clan of Warden Shadowsong.
She abandoned the moon-shaped flying blade and instead specialized in close combat, and in a very short period of time, she became a unique assassin among the entire night elves.
Not only because of her family heritage, she also works very hard, but more importantly, she is extremely talented, and she even has spatial abilities.
The space spells commonly used by mages on the battlefield are usually level 4 magic gates. The more popular ones may be castling of the king's car mastered by Levi and Jiandun Archon.
Another possibility is the level 3 magic flash spell, which flashes back and forth between the main plane and the extra-dimensional plane at the expense of reducing one's own spellcasting ability. Therefore, the enemy's attack will have a greater chance of error.
But for ordinary mages, these magics require casting time.
But Mortred's Flash Strike was truly instantaneous, with no warning in advance.
And after appearing, the special power of space will greatly enhance her attack speed in a short period of time.
In addition, she can also throw the suffocating blade dagger with slowing poison, and the flying knives at the hem of the cloak can be launched to form a whirlwind-like array of knives.
And because she specializes in assassination and is good at attacking weak points, her normal attacks have a very high critical hit rate.
This means that even though her level is not too high, less than level 15, her success rate in many pursuit and capture missions in the past has been 100%.
Not only can ordinary enemies not be able to outrun her, they can't defeat her at all.
Hearing this, not only Li Wei was very interested in her, but also Elegy and others, because she was the assassin type unit that our side currently lacked the most.
Luna's job is to be a sentinel, not an assassin.
The strength of the Rat-users is too low. Once discovered by the enemy, the opponent can easily kill them.
The shadow elements are powerful enough, but except for the summoner Li Wei, who can communicate relatively smoothly, others are basically unable to communicate with them normally.
Moreover, their intelligence and ability to adapt to situations are not very good either.
So no matter how you look at it, they are indeed in urgent need of talents like Mortred.
The only thing that puzzled Levi was why did Illidan show such a proud expression before?
Mortred's strength and honor were all worked hard by her, and had nothing to do with him, who didn't know where he was lying dead before. It was unlikely that he was proud of her strength.
Could it be that he has a grudge against her? Is sending her to him a disguised exile?
But the age difference between the two of them is countless times. Even if the Demon Hunter doesn't look like a good person, Mortred isn't stupid enough to offend him, right?
After thinking about it, Levi could only think that there might be some ancestors of Mortred who had conflicts with Illidan.
Now the opponent's ashes may have disappeared, but Illidan is still a god, and can also command the opponent's descendants at will. It is understandable that he feels a little proud...
The leader of the Night Elf Watchers, the Warden, is an official position inherited from the family. You can go back and check the special family of Shadowsong to see if there has been any powerful existence that can make Illidan remember it until now.
However, Illidan shouldn't really be that cautious.
In addition to being part of the deal, he should also feel that following Li Wei will bring out her power more.
Moreover, her profession is Phantom Assassin, and what she is about to look for is the lost property of the Phantom Goddess-Laila. How could this be just a simple coincidence?
Unfortunately, Lilith didn't express anything before. All she can say is that these two guys are all Riddlers.
While speaking, Mortred had already led the watchers to Li Wei, put one hand on his chest and saluted him.
"By the order of the patron saint of the night elves, Mortred swore allegiance to Lord Levi Goethe from now on."
The other elves following her naturally did the same thing.
Levi raised his eyebrows secretly. Upon hearing this and looking at her actions, he knew that the other party was probably somewhat unwilling to give in.
He was staying well in the clan, but he was sent out to work for a high elf with whom he had no contact before. Everyone would have a bad temper.
Even though Li Wei is now considered a well-known figure, Mortred is also not a mere soldier. She will also have her own arrogance.
But that doesn't matter. As long as she is willing to serve him sincerely, there are plenty of opportunities and ways to completely convince her.
Because she is just an outstanding young genius, not a veteran powerhouse, while Levi is a level 19 mage and the prince of Caledor.
So he didn't show it on his face, but said rather enthusiastically: "Thank you for your hard work coming from afar, your strength will never be wasted."
Saying this, he quickly looked at the opponent's attribute panel.
Mortred's current level is 14/3, and the campaign level is so low. It can be seen that she does not like commanding troops, preferring to assassinate alone or perform tasks in a small team.
In terms of attributes, she is mainly agility, supplemented by strength, and her physique and intelligence are relatively low.
Even with the bonus of an epic hero, the maximum life limit is less than 300, and the defense and magic resistance are also very average.
It can be said that in a large-scale battlefield, she will be seriously injured if she encounters a few area-of-effect magics.
But these shortcomings are not enough to cover up her advantages. In addition to a lot of skills related to reconnaissance, stealth and assassination, as well as the skills Luna just mentioned, she also has two special skills.
The blurred phantom can make her figure difficult to see clearly. Even if she stands still, the enemy's attack will have a high chance of missing. This is essentially part of her application of the power of space.
Then there is a super powerful skill that even Luna cannot fully understand - Gift of Emancipation.
As her level increases, her normal physical attacks will cause more damage when a critical hit occurs. Currently, she is level 14, and this multiplier is 3.5 times.
When he saw this, Li Wei was a little shocked.
If she is equipped with good equipment, coupled with the enhanced attack speed of her flash attack, if she is lucky enough, a human shield warrior of the same level may not be able to withstand it for a few seconds, right?…
It's really brittle, but its output is also really high. It's a typical glass cannon, but if she can be paired with phantom divinity.
Laila's attack power is at the bottom among the gods, but the power of phantom is undoubtedly very strong whether it is for assistance or survival.
After asking a few casual questions about the journey, Levi also took out a bunch of equipment from the space ring and handed it to her.
Except for the weapon called the Wheel of Judgment in her hand and the Warden's cloak, which are epic, her other equipment is not very good.
Although the best things in Li Wei's hands have been allocated to Elegy and others, they are still much better than what she has.
Then there are some consumable props, including various strengthening and restoring potions, as well as scrolls for improving various abilities and weapon enchantments.
Assassin is a profession that is definitely afraid of mages. Secondly, it is not easy to deal with ghosts and other incorporeal creatures, so it can only be compensated by using external objects.
Mortred's expression moved slightly, she glanced at it, and took it directly without saying anything.
Then she gave him a small bow again to express her gratitude, but this time, she was a little more serious.
After putting it on, before Li Wei could speak, she took the initiative to ask if Li Wei had any important tasks next.
After all, one look at the way they are getting ready to go, and you know they must have something to do.
Of course, Levi would not hide anything from Mortred, who had become his subordinate. He explained it clearly to her in just a few words.
Mortred was obviously excited now, and she offered to go hunting the swamp-dwelling demon together.
In addition to the hatred of evil, the other party's nickname - Mist Walker, seriously blasphemed the mist lady - Radlily.
Looking at the other party's little fangirl look, Li Wei had almost figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Probably because she is a squishy assassin, Mortred admires Lilith's vest very much. Covered by fog, her survival and ambush abilities will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced by it.
Coupled with some of Illidan's ideas, she was thrown to Levi.
No, or it's not just that.
The night elves originally had no gods of their own, and Mortred was also the only phantom assassin in the history of her clan. Where did she get the opportunity to change classes?
Considering Lilith's habit of searching for talents all over the world and investing in them, Levi felt that she might have accepted Lilith's power or knowledge unknowingly, and that's why she had such a high impression of Lilith.
Li Wei asked a few more questions about where she originally wanted to go.
Then it was no surprise that she learned that she actually wanted to join the Cold One - Eltharion at first, because he was the chosen one of Lady Mist.
It wasn't until she received clear instructions from Illidan that she changed her mind.
But now it seems that this is also a very good choice.
Many people around her were quite surprised by her bold statement.
Li Wei didn't take it seriously. No matter what she thought before, she has now become his subordinate.
Lunala was fighting with herself before, but now she has become a workaholic, working hard for the development of Fear Rock?…
And he also quite admired the other party's straightforward character.
The incident happened unexpectedly, but because Mortred acted decisively, it didn't take more than a quarter of an hour before they were on their way again.
As the bear-headed envoys cast spells, they soon arrived in a dry desert.
Normally, the teleportation skills of the bear-headed envoys have certain deviations, but because they have been summoned by him so many times and participated in many large and small battles, their strength has been improved to varying degrees.
In addition, with the sixth-level elite Bill as the leader, their maximum error is only 700 to 800 meters, and they will be tied in minutes.
This kind of error is actually very rare for a transmission that is at least thousands of miles.
Levi, Sefa, Sally and other mages immediately began to summon heavenly creatures and asked them to scout the surrounding area.
According to the wing elves, the teleportation location is about ten miles away from the oasis they once occupied.
I don't know if the power of the swamp-dwelling demon has expanded further after so many days.
Logically speaking, since there is desert all around, they should live their lives guarding the oases.
But no one knows how powerful and crazy they have become.
In addition to the possibility of gaining Laila's power, some of the surviving wing elves have used many words such as devil, terrible and terrifying to describe each other more than once.
Not only because they are indeed ugly and vicious, but also because of their brutal and bloodthirsty behavior.
It's a pity that the wing elves are too bad. They only know that the other party is very powerful, but whether it is related to the devil or the four gods of chaos, they can't tell at all.
Luna and Kerillian also went to reconnaissance with their respective teams, and even Donna sent her big cats to participate in the operation.
Since she became the commander of the flying force, she has rarely had the opportunity to fight side by side with Levi, Elegy, Cindy, etc.
Penthesilea rode a level 7 tyrannosaurus alone and looked at it from a high place.
She had never been to the desert before. She had only heard that this was the territory of the Tomb Kings. She didn't know if she would encounter them this time.
Sphinx or something, it should be very enjoyable to fight, right?
However, after looking around for a week, Mortred felt quite at a loss.
She is the phantom assassin best at fighting in complex terrains such as forests, because the environment there can better conceal her figure.
But where can she hide in this barren desert?
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long, as Carillian and Luna successively sent in information.
There are indeed a large number of swamp-dwelling demons over there in the oasis, but the environment of the oasis itself has been severely polluted.
Now there is an extremely strange scene, with all the trees, land, etc. showing black, translucent shadows.
It can be said that even if they capture that place, it is absolutely impossible for the wing elves to come back.
At the same time, the swamp-dwelling demons have a similar appearance. Most of them were originally gray-white and gray-green, but now they have also turned black.
Moreover, they also found traces of demons in many places...
Then in the other direction, there was a Tomb King's city where a war seemed to be going on.
According to previous information, it should be Bagh City, a city affiliated with Tomb King Lemizazi.
This Tomb King is not a legend as famous as Khalida or the Immortal Emperor Settra.
But because he lived long enough and spent thousands of years, he managed to reach the legendary level.
Li Wei had never heard that the other party had defeated any strong enemy in a duel, but it was said that this Lemizaqi was quite capable in commanding the army, especially in constructs.
Although it is incomparable to the Immortal Emperor, he once successfully repelled Nagash's army and regained the lost territory with the help of the legions formed by the God Guards, and was commended by the Immortal Emperor for this.
Like Li Wei, he is also good at creating and driving these special constructs. Li Wei had thought about it before, and if there was a chance, he could communicate with him.
But because the distance is relatively long, they don't yet know the details of the warring parties.
After listening to the whole content, he thought for a moment, and Levi couldn't help but frown slightly, and his shadow shape made him have some bad guesses.
"Are there any fire demons among them?"
Carillian shook her head: "What I noticed were the more conventional cerebrums, the three-headed ceremonial dogs, the horned demons, the horned demon warlords, and occasionally a few berserker demons mixed in, but the total of them is less than 100."
"The number of those swamp-dwelling demons may be relatively large, about three hundred. There are not too dense or towering trees in that oasis, and there shouldn't be too many enemies hidden in it."
After hearing this, many people looked eager to try.
Although swamp-dwelling demons can be considered a powerful monster race, they can generally reach level 4 strength when they reach adulthood. They are famous for their brute strength, thick skin and thick flesh, and their talent for spreading mist.
But if they only have this amount, even if they include those demons, they probably won't be able to hold out for ten minutes in front of their elite force.
Levi shook his head: "According to common sense, this is the case, but what if those demons have incorporeal bodies?"
Elegy and the others don't have much of a clue yet, but Cindy, Sefa and the others are bright-eyed. Due to the recent actions of the Four Gods of Chaos, they have gained a lot of knowledge about demons.
"Brother Levi, do you suspect that the Shadow Demon Queen Rex Sally is behind this?"
"That's right!"
The Shadow Demon Queen, as the name suggests, she and the most elite demons under her command all took on the appearance of black and translucent incorporeal bodies, just like what Kerilian and the others had detected in the oasis.
She is a special and mysterious demon. As the lord of Sartonon, the 49th layer of the Abyss and the desert country, she has no concern for mortals.
She is also one of the very few demon lords who have no intention of seizing the souls of mortals by invading the main world.
She will basically choose to trade with other demon lords, hag merchants, etc. to obtain the souls and other resources she needs.
Selling a large amount of demon troops is another characteristic of hers.
But despite this, how could she still sit still when she encountered something thrown away by the Phantom Goddess-Laila?…
Originally, her country also had a desert environment, so this was simply the most suitable battlefield for her.
She is also accustomed to living in darkness and shadows, and is very compatible with the swamp-dwelling monster, as well as with the phantom divinity.
And there have been rumors recently that the King of Ghouls and many other demon lords of the Abyss are planning to become gods.
It is said that they obtained the secret of being able to become gods even in the form of demons from the Four Gods of Chaos.
Although Levi thinks this is probably nonsense, because according to Lilith, the four gods of chaos are all demons condensed by emotions, and they are the only four of the same kind in the entire world.
It is a completely different existence from the guy in the bottomless abyss.
But the temptation to become a god is too great, which does not prevent the demon lords from taking action.
There happened to be such an opportunity right in front of him. Although Li Wei couldn't be completely sure unless he actually saw the Shadow Demon Queen appear, she was undoubtedly the biggest suspect.
Since she seems to have never fought against other powerful beings, it is impossible to speculate on her true power based on her past achievements.
More importantly, she is also one of the few steadfast allies of Graz'zt, Lord of Darkness, one of the giants of the Abyss, because they are siblings.
Each of their hands and feet has 6 fingers or toes.
Although blood relations are of little use to demons, past history has proven that the alliance between the two of them is indeed unshakable.
This gave Levi a bit of a headache, because if the other party was really the Shadow Demon Queen, he would have offended two demon lords at once.
Demon lords also have strong and weak strengths. They are not at the same level as the previous Ghoul King and Gnoll King.
But the matter has come to this, and he has no better choice. In order to cultivate Mortred, even if he conflicts with them, so what?
Unless they directly use their true bodies or projections, ordinary demon troops are just the materials for us to become stronger.
"Attention everyone, start casting summoning magic and activate the Death Guard. We must defeat the opponent as quickly as possible, and then go to Bagh City to find out!"
