Chapter 496 The Fifth of the Nine Volumes of Nagash - The Book of Rotten Corpses
"You have gained knowledge about many fields. Since the knowledge has been completely analyzed by other beings and you possess divinity, you can receive it smoothly. However, since you do not possess divinity, you can only exert a very small part of your power."
Domain:Animals
Animal incarnation, you or an animal you designate can transform into other non-magical animals, take on the appearance of the other person, and gain natural abilities such as flying, climbing or swimming.
(The premise is that the other party has it. For example, you cannot gain the ability to fly when you transform into an ordinary carp)
Depending on the shape of the transformed animal, you may gain additional strength, agility, physical fitness, defense and magic resistance bonuses.
At first glance, it seems quite interesting. If Li Wei got this thing in Novice Village and caught ordinary birds, turtles, etc. as magic pets, and then turned them into tigers or lions, it would definitely be very effective.
Greatly enhance combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that it came too late and has too many restrictions. Now it can only be used as a plaything.
I just don’t know whose hands Paine’s other relics have fallen into now.
Field: Charm
Charm +2, forces in a non-hostile state will have an increased initial favorability towards you.
There is nothing more to say. There is never too much stuff that directly adds attributes.
Domain: War
Your battle skill - Offensive Technique, has been strengthened, with additional effects: the critical hit rate and experience gain rate of your troops are increased by 5%.
There is basically nothing wrong with anything in the field of war, but in Li Wei's view, even if the above three are added together, they may not be as good as the next treasure.
The Fifth of the Nine Volumes of Nagash - The Book of Rotten Corpses (Golden - Legend - Strange Objects):
Effect 1, bind the soul
Effect 2, Evil Oath Binding
Effect 3, nine volumes echo
Effect 4, blood ritual, through sacrifices and rituals, you can try to transform the living into vampires;
Effect 5, carrion transformation, you can transform zombie-like undead creatures to create more novel or powerful works.
"You have successfully collected five and nine volumes of Nagash. Since you are not a god and meet other hidden requirements, you have activated the hidden power of the Book of Carrion - Immortal Reincarnation."
Undead Reincarnation: After your subordinates die in battle, you can transform them into undead creatures such as vampires, zombies, and skeletons.
Depending on the strength, soul fragments, gold coins, elemental crystals, or corpses and blood, etc. need to be consumed as sacrifices (hero level requires additional hero spirit)
If you consume 2 times more materials, you can resurrect it as a living person, but its level will be reduced by at least 1 level (or its level will be reduced by 1-5 levels randomly).
Note 1: If you want to be resurrected as a living person, you need to preserve the opponent's soul and body as much as possible. This will prevent the opponent's strength from declining too much;
Note 2: You cannot resurrect special races such as angels, demons, devils, elements, undead or constructs, and the resurrection success rate for dead people whose level is higher than yours is greatly reduced;
Note 3: Resurrection of the dead is the authority of the gods. If you do not possess the divinity, priesthood or domain of death, every time you do so, you may attract the attention of the gods of death from various gods and cause unknown consequences.
(Only honest and pedantic people can truly abide by the laws of nature. Nagash holds the secret of cheating death, which is now written in the Book of Carrion, but if you want to use this power, you will definitely pay a price)
The resurrection of the dead has always been the authority of the gods.
Although powerful beings such as demon lords can also possess similar abilities, they are usually directly resurrected into demons.
Or after paying an extremely high price, such as sacrificing part of the soul, or blood sacrifice to relatives, etc., there will be other consequences.
Able to bypass the power of the gods and resurrect the dead, Nagash has indeed learned some of the secrets of the God of Death.
Its other effects were of no use to Levi, but its ability to resurrect was enough to make him ecstatic.
And according to the system prompts, this should be something that even Lilith absolutely doesn't understand. Because she is a god, she can't use the Nine Volumes of Nagash at all.
But the side effects are too great. If you are unlucky and the level 20 resurrection drops by 5 levels at a time, you will really be unable to cry. Nagash is obviously still far away from the real God of Death.
This has advantages and disadvantages for Levi.
The good thing is that he doesn't have to worry about the revenge of a god-level Nagash for the time being.
But the bad thing is that even if he collects all nine volumes of Nagash, he may not be able to obtain the extremely powerful power as previously expected.
However, it is too early to consider these now, because for the next four volumes, except for one whose whereabouts are not yet known, and where there is some certainty about the treasure house of Bafeng Mountain, the difficulty of obtaining the other two volumes is not low.
Black-Arkhan and Manfred von Carstein, two famous legendary undead
After checking the many required materials in the appendix, Li Wei was completely relieved.
Because he has most of them on hand, and although the remaining ones are not low in value, they are also things that can be bought with money. This is much easier to handle. He plans to buy some first when he has time, so that he is prepared.
.
After carefully putting it away, Levi thought about it and did not take out the phantom divinity. This thing is of course the most suitable for Mortred, but he has given her too much today, so he should wait for now.
At this moment, Luna also reported the latest intelligence, that there was a melee between various forces in the direction of Bagh City.
The main battle is that the Tomb Kings are relying on the geographical advantage to resist the attack from the Greenskins and Skaven.
There are also some elements, humans, dwarves and other races mixed in. It seems that they should be some heroes chosen by God to participate in the war as mercenaries.
They are also divided into two camps fighting each other, so the current situation is very chaotic.
But in general, it seems to be a bit disadvantageous for the Tomb King's side, because the gate of Bagh City has been broken, and the two sides are currently fighting in the streets.
As we all know, the Tomb Kings are just like the undead. Most of the troops in the army are cannon fodder, and only the constructs are the main force.
The strength and defense of the construct are sufficient, but the agility is often not good. However, the agility of the Skaven is very good. If it is a chaotic street fight, it will be difficult for the Tomb King to fully display its strength.
In addition, the Skaven are also very good at assassination. If heroes such as Tomb General, Priest or Technician as the leader are killed, the Tomb King's victory rate will definitely decrease accordingly.
However, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity for our side to intervene.
So after resting and replenishing their summons and death guards, they headed straight for Bagh City.
Looking from a distance, when he saw the flames soaring into the sky, Li Wei knew that the situation was indeed very unfavorable for the Tomb King's side.
Whether they are mummies or skeleton soldiers, they are all afraid of fire. If possible, why would they let the city catch fire?
Therefore, he also speeded up his advance slightly. If Bagh City fell, their favor would not be given away.
Since the battlefield was already very noisy, Li Wei and the others also had the cooperation of feathered snakes and invisibility, so they approached the rat men's troops very smoothly.
Yes, the target he chose for his sneak attack was the Rat Man.
Because compared to the stupid green-skinned ones, these rat-men might come up with some special weapons or monsters, so let’s deal with them first.
As they got closer, Luna continued to send back more information.
The number of the Skaven army exceeds 20,000, but more than 90% are slave rats and clan rats. It can be said that they are all fill-up, and it can be regarded as consistent with the proportion of the Skaven army.
Most of the corpses inside and outside the city belong to them.
Only on a certain hillside were stationed two thousand well-trained Storm Rats and Death Running Rats, as well as dozens of Level 5 Rat Trolls.
Then there are the clan rats whose equipment and training are obviously better. There are about three thousand of them. They seem to be waiting for something at this moment.
As for the leader of the rat men, they haven't found it yet because there is a small forest behind the hillside.
Most wererats are very good at saving their lives, and they rarely take the initiative to reveal their identities.
Even if they are not hiding in the woods, maybe the rat hero among them is disguised as an ordinary soldier and staying in a corner at this moment.
Only when we actually fight, through battlefield performance and giving orders, can we gradually discover their existence.
After hearing this, since he had just dealt with the devil, Levi's first thought was, could it be that these rat men also wanted to hold a sacrificial ceremony? Otherwise, why would they have this attitude?
As a sacrifice, the quality of ratmen is definitely not better than that of humans or elves, but if there are not enough of them, they can still do something.
But I have never heard of the horned rat that they believe in. Will they cooperate with the devil or devils?
At this time, new information came from Carilian on the other side, which somewhat solved some of Levi's doubts.
She found several special flags in the city, embroidered with an extremely majestic golden lioness.
That one may represent the woman chosen by Tefnut, the goddess of rain and moisture, and Bastet, the cat god, the golden lioness Queen Rashute.
This Queen of Rashute is also a very famous antique. She became famous thousands of years ago.
She was originally a priestess of Tefnut, and later became the queen of a direct descendant of the Immortal Emperor Settra.
Although her husband has the blood of the Immortal Emperor flowing in his body, he is actually a weak and incompetent guy.
Under his leadership, his city-state was bullied by other foreign enemies every day. In the end, the enemy bribed a traitor and was directly assassinated on the throne.
Normally, the next step would be for the city-state to be annexed, and she would become the opponent's plaything.
But at this time, Queen Lashute, who had acted very ordinary before, showed extraordinary power.
She prayed directly to the goddess, summoned a golden lioness, and wiped out the traitor neatly, which is also the origin of her title.
Then she faced the danger and went into battle, temporarily assuming the identity of queen, preparing to resist the enemy's attack.
The cat god Bastet, who loves to have fun by nature, didn't know whether it was because she found it interesting or because she had a brain convulsion. He also gave her some power by the way, making her the co-choice of the two gods.
Since Bastet also took part in love, pleasure, etc., when she showed some strength on the battlefield, the enemy generals and soldiers were very worried that they would be deprived of love, pleasure, etc. if they offended her.
At that time, not all the Tomb Kings had become mummies, so they still paid more attention to this aspect.
As a result, the enemy's morale plummeted and they did not dare to attack her.
But she showed no mercy and attacked directly, successfully defeated the enemy coalition forces and avoided the crisis of annihilation of the country.
Later, with the help of the power of the two goddesses, they frequently launched marches and captured cities and lands.
A few months later, under her leadership, the city-state not only did not lose any territory, but also expanded some territory, which could be regarded as allowing her to completely secure her position as queen.
According to past achievements, among the women in the Tomb Kings, she may be second only to Khalida.
However, her own strength is not clear, and it is unclear whether she has been promoted to legend, because even in the most critical moment, she did not show her full power and only drove her summons to fight.
But the golden lioness given to her by the goddess is also famous for being able to fight at level 7.
Later, when the Immortal Emperor returned to his throne, she was also highly appreciated by him, and she became his general very smoothly.
As for her incompetent husband, he has disappeared long ago, and no one even pays attention to whether he has lost his soul or turned into a mummy.
In addition to the powers mentioned above, she can also create and drive two special mummies, namely cats and lions.
Due to the use of special magic and the divine power of the goddess, they seem to be very inconspicuous, but once transformed, they immediately become 3rd and 4th level troops.
She was even allowed to be named after the goddess, called Tefnut the War Lion and Bastet the War Cat.
As a raw material, there may not be many lions, but there are too many cats.
According to past records, at most one time, she had dispatched millions of Bastet War Cats to fight against a certain attack by Nagash.
Although that incident naturally ended with the annihilation of all the Bastet Fighting Cats, no one knew how many Bastet Fighting Cats she had accumulated after so many years.
In addition, there are also rumors that she later developed more than one new type of military unit.
For example, gradually expand the scope from lions and cats to other cats such as leopards and tigers.
Another example is using cat people from Beastmen as raw materials to create cat-man mummies, etc.
But because they have never really appeared on a large-scale battlefield, Li Wei does not know more information.
But no matter what, this big cat and kitten can not only easily deal with ordinary enemies, but also definitely have extra bonuses against rat men.
The Golden Lioness is also among the kings of the ancient tombs, one of the very few who are keen to cause trouble for the rat people. It is unknown how many rat people died because of her in the past.
In this case, if it is known that the golden lioness is also sitting in the city, it is no wonder that the rat men would come to join in the fun.
Whether it is revenge or the honor of killing the golden lioness, it is enough to drive them to join the war.
Moreover, these rat men are obviously very smart. At present, they are only using some cannon fodder troops to consume the opponent's troops. The real elites are recharging their strength and preparing to choose the right time to join the war.
But now, since you have seen it, don’t think about it any better!
After sighing for a while, Levi began to gradually ascend into the sky with Kyle, Sefa and others, preparing their strongest magic together.
After all, the movement of King Kong, Giant, etc. is not small. Even with the protection of invisibility, the smell and footsteps cannot be covered at the same time.
The rat people are famous for their keen senses, and when they get within a certain distance, they will definitely be able to sense that something is wrong.
So before him, he has to give the other party a hard blow!
Soon Levi and the others entered the optimal shooting range, looked at each other, and released their magic at the same time.
For Kyle and the others, there may be more than one choice, but for Levi, of course, the only possibility is that Yang Yan explodes!
As the spell was released, it bloomed from his hand like a small sun, and then fell rapidly downwards.
The rat people, who were always wary of Bagh City, noticed it immediately, but it was already too late.
Only some of the most observant were able to make a short and sharp cry, while others did not even have time to make any movement at all.
With a loud bang, Yang Yan exploded into the densest place of Storm Rats, which was also the location closest to the forest.
In an instant, countless rat-men were turned into ashes on the spot, and the small forest turned into a huge burning torch. Levi once again committed arson.
The magic of Kyle, Sefa, Sally and others also followed, creating more flames.
The violent sound and light effects even stunned the two sides fighting in Bagh City in the distance. Many people with keen minds took the time to send out scouts such as thieves and assassins to find out.
The rat-man troops who were watching from the sidelines were a relatively worthy of attention for both sides in the battle.
But now they have encountered such a surprise attack. With such a powerful spellcaster, their fate may be very bad. This will definitely have a very direct impact on the next battle.
Of course Li Wei and the others knew this, but they didn't care. They just launched an attack on the rat people according to the plan they just made.
Penthesilea took the lead, and together with Dirge, Martis, Mordity and others, under the cover of the many-headed King Kong and the mountain giant, they launched a charge towards the rat people.
Cindy also swooped down with the celestial creatures. She found that there were still some survivors at the edge of the Yangyan explosion. Those who could survive in this situation were most likely the opponent's heroes or other high-level heroes.
Class arms.
Moreover, Carilian and the others did not get too close to the forest in order to avoid alerting others.
But now with the release of the Yangyan Explosion, most of the forest was destroyed, and she was keenly aware that there were some war equipment shining with green light among them.
Could it be the Skaven's warpstone weapon? She felt the need to stop him personally.
The frightened rat people had no way of resisting when they suffered such a violent attack.
The most stupid and powerful rat trolls bravely rushed forward, but Penthesilea easily killed a large group of them like chopping melons and vegetables, and couldn't even delay the attack.
Elegy and Mortred also showed off their power. Their talents, levels and equipment were far superior to their enemies. Even the rat trolls, who were known for their rough skin and thick flesh at the same level, could not withstand their attacks.
At the critical moment, a certain rat man hero took out a thick needle with green light and pierced his neck directly.
Along with a series of shrill howls, its body expanded rapidly, and it was about to fight the rat troll. This was obviously an extremely powerful magic potion mixed with dimension stones.
Some were far away from the central area of the Yangyan Explosion, so the high-level ratmen who survived could not help but look at it with eyes full of expectation.
It was originally a heroic rat warlord, but how powerful would it become if it used a mutation potion personally made by one of the nine bosses of the Hell Pit of the Corrupt Clan?
But the next moment, with a soft drink, three spears mixed with golden and red light flashed past like shooting stars.
The rat warlord, who was still howling, had his chest exploded by the first blow, his head was pierced by the second blow, and the third blow was more severe, hitting his throat directly and accurately, and burst open violently.
As a result, the rat warlord, who had three large holes in his body almost at the same time, could only fall to the ground with a "thud" and turned into a puddle of rotten flesh that had completely lost its life.
After seeing this scene, the rat people around them all screamed and started running away in all directions, regardless of their identity.
The difference in strength is really too big. Even if they resist desperately, it will not have any effect. They should hurry up and save their lives!
After doing all this, Penthesilea still had a calm expression on her face, and just turned around and continued to kill the remaining rat trolls.
There was indeed no pride or pride in her heart. The opponent was not even level 15, and he came from a notoriously poor and squishy race - ratmen.
She is the daughter of Ares, a legendary hero, and she used her skills to instantly kill the opponent. Isn't it natural?
Soon King Kong and the Mountain Giants also joined the battlefield one after another. Their movements were not too fancy, and they mainly focused on flying bricks with great force.
No matter whether it is rat trolls, storm rats, or other rat people, they cannot withstand their huge strength.
Those who were knocked away or repulsed were considered lucky, but most of them were simply smashed into piles of rotten flesh, tightly united with the soil under their feet.
However, the rat people's dying counterattacks are often of no use to them.
Even though the time was short, the quality of the giant armors provided by Levi were not too high, and were generally only green or blue, but this did not mean that their defense power was very low.
Every time a piece of armor is forged, dwarf blacksmiths often spend one or two thousand kilograms of metal. Just think about it, how thick would such a armor be?
Not to mention that they themselves have level 6 or level 7 strength, and the hardness of their skin is no worse than steel!
So they just pushed them all the way, and even a few rat men were trampled to death by them.
Mages such as Kyle, Sefa and Sally kept throwing all kinds of powerful magic.
Ordinary low- and mid-level ratmen have no magic resistance at all, and their fire magic can kill a large area.
Donna, Kerilian and others specialize in sniping and killing the special-looking elite or heroic-level units among the Skaven.
Due to the limitation of teleportation spells, they did not carry many direct troops this time, so they naturally had to prioritize killing high-value enemies as much as possible in order to gain the most experience points.
And if you do this, it will also help in the next battle. The rat people have never been a well-trained race. Whether they are led by a hero or not, their combat effectiveness is not at the same level.
After encountering successive attacks, the Storm Rats and others, as the main elite force, were quickly wiped out.
The number two thousand seems not small, but in front of Li Wei and others, it is far from enough.
Seeing that many of the rat heroes and little leaders were killed, the remaining rat people were finally defeated. Levi also signaled Luna not to lead the team in pursuit too far.
She doesn't have many subordinates this time, so if she gets too far away from the main force, she may be in danger.
They are also running away, but there is still a big difference between rat people and goblins. They are more like poisonous snakes. If they seize the opportunity, they may bite back.
What's more, they didn't come here to kill all the enemies. As long as the crisis of this siege is resolved, the rest is what Bagh City needs to deal with.
Within a few minutes, these elite ratmen were killed and their corpses were strewn across the field. There were no surviving ratmen anywhere as far as the eye could see.
But except for Kyle who was slightly excited, neither Levi nor Penthesilea was proud of this. This was just a must-win game.
On the contrary, dozens of spies from other human and elemental races appeared nearby.
Levi ignored them because the current situation in Bagh City was too complicated. In addition to the clear hostility between the rat people and the greenskins, he didn't know for a while who the chosen heroes were friends and who were enemies.
.
Then, while doing a good job of defense, wait for the messenger from Bagh City to arrive.
Such an accident happened outside the city. If the golden lioness was in the city, with her wisdom, she would definitely take action soon.
So Li Wei asked his men to clean up the battlefield while advancing towards Bagh City.
At this time, Cindy also flew over: "Brother Levi, I discovered some new things!"
Looking at several things in her space ring, Li Wei also frowned slightly.
Sure enough, just as he had expected, the Ratman's equipment had been upgraded again.
Before, he only encountered some warpstone rifles and sniper rifles, but now the Skaven took out plague trebuchets and warpstone poison wind mortars.
Just by looking at these two names, you can already roughly guess their uses.
Even if the Skaven successfully raided Nunn, the military center of the Sigma Empire, and obtained a large amount of research materials, your technology has improved too fast, right?
Originally, the Ratmen won by numbers, but now they have taken out these war instruments. Levi mourned for the humans of Sigma in his heart. Their life must be very difficult now.
Levi touched Cindy's little head, complimented her a few times, and planned to go back and throw them to the dwarves to see if they could decipher some secrets.
Cindy immediately burst into laughter and felt very happy. Sure enough, no matter how many women surround Brother Li Wei, she will always be the most special one~
As they continued to approach, whether they were rat men, greenskins, or other races, there was some commotion.
Even if you don't look at the recent results, these mountain giants are definitely not easy to mess with. Although their army is small in size, its strength is ridiculously strong!
Due to the release of the Sun Flame Explosion, which can destroy corpses and eliminate traces, Li Wei did not know for the time being how many rat heroes were killed, but other rat people inside and outside the city quickly noticed this and started to commotion.
Without the suppression of the rat heroes, they would no longer risk their lives to fight.
In addition, the enemy was indeed a bit difficult to defeat, so many low-level rat people fled when they saw that the situation was not going well.
But the city gate is only so wide. If they want to escape, they will inevitably conflict with the greenskins and others who are entering the city.
In addition, other mercenaries such as dwarves and humans also belong to two camps, which makes it very confusing.
Therefore, the greenskins, who could not tell the difference, quickly showed their violent tempers and cut down all those who stood in the way, regardless of whether they were allies or not!
For a time, a small-scale chaos also occurred in the city, and the defensive side was keenly aware of this opportunity, and they also launched a wave of counterattacks.
This moment made a certain green-skinned shaman who was the commander angry. He originally wanted to finish the robbery and go directly to the bad land to beat up the dwarfs who resisted the most beating. Why did these skeletons still dare to resist?
No, it's because those guys outside the city caused trouble first!
So under his order, several green-skinned heroes who believed in their bravery roared with excitement, leading hundreds of big green-skinned guys riding wild boars and some stone trolls, and turned towards Li
Wei and the others launched a charge.
Due to their military type, they were not suitable for fighting in the city. Unexpectedly, they unexpectedly got a chance to fight.
Two giants who were attacking the city slowly turned around, as if they wanted to compete with the mountain giants.
A long time ago, the giants were once glorious, but when they failed to compete with the giant dragons for hegemony, their entire race fell apart, and many subspecies ran away in search of new living environments.
Due to the small number of ordinary giants and the long period of incest, their strength and intelligence have declined extremely significantly. They are the kind who just follow the food they give them.
There was even an ogre warlord who laughed at their wisdom in front of Li Wei, so it is not surprising that they are now being oppressed and driven by the greenskins.
Although the greenskins were fierce, unfortunately, this was not enough to make up for their lack of strength. Soon, hundreds of them were killed by a round of magic.
Even without Yang Yan Explosion, Levi's other magics are not something that the opponent can easily resist, let alone Kyle and the others.
As for the two giants, they failed to reach them. Donna and Kerilian worked together to kill one, and Penthesilea also killed the other with a spear.
If it is an Amazon of the same level, the attack speed of throwing spears may be slower than that of bows and arrows.
But Penthesilea was strong enough, so the speed of throwing spears was not too slow, but the power was obviously better than Donna's bow and arrow.
Li Wei once again lamented that the money spent on hiring her was really worth it. How much money had she made for him today alone?
But the movement of his hand did not stop, and he threw several rounds of the Hammer of Justice, successfully killing the fastest green-skinned hero who rushed forward. As for his companions, there were naturally others to take care of them.
So in the second wave of attacks, the Greenskin Cavalry once again lost hundreds of people, and all the heroes were killed.
After seeing this scene, the chosen heroes belonging to the green-skinned side, the smarter ones, had already begun to look for a way out.
Even if the origin of this new force is not yet known, their attitude is already very obvious.
It's impossible to defeat him, so he has no choice but to run away first!
The green-skinned shaman became increasingly angry, but before he could take any new actions, a lion's roar suddenly came from somewhere in the city.
Then, in full view of everyone, a portal opened in mid-air, and an extremely majestic golden lioness five or six meters in length jumped out of it.
While still in the air, it split into seven or eight golden shadows mixed with blazing heat, rushed towards the green-skinned shaman on the ground, and exploded with a bang.
Then it itself was like a small meteorite, hitting the ground heavily, causing more damage.
Encountering such a surprise attack, although the green-skinned shaman was not dead for a while, it was obvious that he could not escape the fate of being killed.
After seeing this scene from a distance, Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Sure enough, as the legend says, the golden lioness certainly does not control the power of gold. She is actually a lion who can use metal magic.
Then there was another roar of a lion. Hundreds of beast-shaped mummies of different sizes, but uniformly possessing some feline characteristics and wrapped in yellowing strips of cloth, emerged from many hidden corners in the city and faced each other.
The Ratmen and others launched a counterattack.
A charming female voice came from afar: "Such a powerful celestial mystic? I think I know who you are."
"Thank you very much for your help. Please forgive me, Rashute, for being rude. After repelling these despicable intruders, I will entertain you personally!"
