Chapter 567 The Brass Fortress and the Victorious Archer
As if in response to his speculation, news came from the Messenger of Mercy that there were no normal humans in the central tower.
In addition to the Nurgle demons, there are Nurgle believers inside, and they seem to be preparing for a larger-scale sacrificial ceremony.
Just in case, the Mercy Messenger did not alert the enemy, but notified Li Wei immediately and asked what to do next.
What to do? Naturally, rush forward and kill all the Nurgle demons, completely purifying the Brass Fortress!
Li Wei thought so and decided to do it. Vasily, the chanter next to him, naturally expressed his full support immediately.
He is the leader of the Church of Sigmar here. If the Brass Fortress is captured by the Nurgle Demon while he is stationed there, even if he fights to the death, he will not be able to make up for his fault.
Even when the soul ascends to the Kingdom of Sigmar, it is still a head lower than other colleagues. Now that the famous Prince Levi is willing to take action, he will naturally do his best.
So as soon as Li Wei went out, he saw two to three hundred bald men gathering outside.
Their equipment is extremely simple, but their expressions are full of fanaticism. They are the whippers, ascetics, fighting pilgrims, etc. unique to many churches.
Due to demons and demons, as well as corrupted mortals affected by them, they often have proliferated limbs, and horns on their foreheads are the most common.
So shaving your hair is also one of the ways to declare that you are still pure.
These guys may not be very good at fighting, but driven by their faith, they will definitely dare to risk their lives.
Not only are they not afraid of death, they also regard fighting to death as their pursuit, because it can allow them to ascend to the kingdom of God faster, so they are also cannon fodder that many churches like very much.
But Levi no longer needs cannon fodder like them, so he just signaled the chanter Vasily to let these loyal believers of Sigma protect the church so that he can have a safe rear area.
This time it was somewhat beyond the chanter's expectation. There were actually people who didn't want free cannon fodder?
Is he really so kind-hearted, or does he look down on these cannon fodder?
But no matter what, he certainly chose to follow Levi's instructions unconditionally.
A few seconds later, when he saw Levi summoning many celestial creatures and constructs with a wave of his hand, most of the chanter's doubts were lifted. With these powerful beings, Levi really does not need these volunteers.
Believers who devote themselves to God.
In fact, Livy only needed a guide to show the way, and a chanter was enough.
So after the summons was completed, he marched directly to the central tower.
Looking from a distance, this originally majestic building has now been covered by unnatural growth.
Layers of leather-like green growths grew on the outer walls, and huge blisters formed from time to time, which occasionally swelled and burst, spewing corrosive and foul-smelling pus around.
In some larger blisters, there may be some low-level Nurglings that appear along with the pus, cheering and running around to attack all non-demonic existences.
In addition to blood, corpses and pus on the streets, there are occasionally small groups of aboriginal adventurers who are joining forces to deal with these low-level demons.
I don’t know why, even though these Nurglings looked ferocious and were unwilling to die, but at this moment, Li Wei had a rather strange feeling, that is, they were all laughing and celebrating something!
At the same time, at the top of the tower, white lights flashed, and occasionally explosions were heard. Mercy messengers and messengers were fighting fiercely with the enemy.
The enemy is a legendary demon prince of Nurgle who calls himself the "Wither King". Occupying a favorable location and reinforced by a sacrificial circle, it is one against two and is not losing at all.
But the Messenger of Mercy did not seek more help from Li Wei, but instead urged him to enter the central tower as soon as possible because he sensed that the Nurgle demons were preparing even more terrifying rituals!
Li Wei still trusted the judgment of the Mercy Envoy, so he just sent the dragon-headed envoy and the high-level red flame envoy as support, and then led the rest of the people directly to the central tower.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard a series of groans and roars, and hundreds of enemies armed with swords, guns, swords and halberds, and covered with diseases and flies, had already taken the lead to kill them.
After seeing it clearly, the chanter couldn't help but cursed angrily: "These abominable demons!"
He did have reason to scold, because even though his whole body was swollen and rotten, and there were large and small devil horns growing on his forehead, it could be vaguely seen from the opponent's filthy military uniforms that they were originally stationed there.
The army here.
They are not pure demons, but Nurgle's plague bearers.
But looking at their current appearance, it is obvious that they are hopeless. The only thing we can do is to free them as soon as possible and let them die!
Levi was also keenly aware that some beings had marks unique to Nurgle, which could further enhance their life limit, defense, recovery capabilities, etc.
However, in front of Li Wei and the others, these enemies are still not worth mentioning. When fighting, Li Wei and the others need to use powerful magic more cautiously, otherwise accidents may easily occur in such a confined space.
This tower is not entirely made of rock, but also of flammable wood.
Due to their absolute crushing strength, these corrupted beings were almost killed in just a few breaths.
At this moment, sporadic gunshots suddenly came out in the distance, and then became more and more intensive, getting closer and closer to Li Wei and the others.
Levi suddenly felt a little strange, because so far, they have not found any Nurgle demons or those corrupted by Nurgle who can use crossbows or muskets as weapons.
Perhaps the swollen fingers are no longer enough to support them from winding up, to aiming, and finally shooting. Therefore, even if they use long-range weapons, Nurgle demons or beings corrupted by Nurgle will mostly use throwing axes or javelins.
Mainly, but in fact the latter is still very rare.
Nurgle demons using muskets are unheard of, so the most likely possibility is that the opponent is some resister!
The chanter next to him was also overjoyed: "Prince Levi, the sound is from the direction of the dungeon. It may be the victorious archers led by Sir Durze Gundermann."
"They responded immediately after the Nurgle demon appeared. I thought they had all suffered misfortune, but I didn't expect there are still survivors!"
Li Wei has also heard of this name. In addition to the unique arms of each church and the large number of knights, the twelve provinces of the Sigma Empire have their own special arms.
The Victory Archers are a special unit of the Hawke Territory. They are musketeers who are good at forest warfare.
This sentence alone is enough to explain how extraordinary they are. After all, muskets cannot be thrown. Being able to shoot smoothly in the forest without being blocked by trees reflects their strength from the side.
Durz Gundermann is the commander and trainer of this army, but it is worth mentioning that he is not part of the Sigma Empire army, but a mercenary.
As a mercenary, he was so desperate, and there might be some other hidden secrets, so Li Wei immediately sent Shadow Elements and others to the rescue.
Dirge and Mortred also volunteered, although fighting the Nurgle demon was a great stimulation to their senses of sight and smell.
However, with the air filter bubbles and other magic that Levi had cast in advance, as well as the experience of several recent battles, they gradually adapted a lot.
Levi led everyone to follow behind. Except for the entrance hall, the interior of the central tower was mostly divided into many densely packed small rooms. No one knew whether some powerful enemies would suddenly jump out of there, so
It's better to be careful.
But with Dirge's current strength, it was no problem to deal with some Nurgle demons. They quickly killed some Nurgle demons that followed them and rescued dozens of musketeers, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
When the bearded man in the lead saw Levi, his eyes suddenly lit up: "I am Dulz Gundermann. Thank you very much for lending a helping hand in a critical moment!"
While saying this, he showed Li Wei a special token in the blind spot of the chanter's sight, which represented his identity as the Harper Alliance.
Levi raised his eyebrows, okay, now he probably had some guesses about the whole thing.
The Harper Alliance has been working hard to nip the crisis in the bud. It is estimated that they have noticed in advance that there may be a change in the Brass Fortress, but they are not capable enough and ultimately failed to stop it.
But it is also understandable that the Harper Alliance is a large organization spread across the main world. Their actions and creeds are supported by multiple races, but they have two obvious weaknesses:
First, because there are too many places to focus on, the power is extremely dispersed. It may not be a problem to deal with ordinary evil, but to deal with powerful demon lords and the like, they often need to call in friends and seek reinforcements, which may lead to a delay in fighting.
.
The second point is that they don’t have any particularly strong backers behind them.
Although they have always been very secretive, they have not been able to hide it from the sight of the gods. After years of investigation, Lilith is now almost certain that the leader of the Harper Alliance is a human demigod - Vander Dragonthorn.
He was originally a bard. With the help of the goddess of luck, he killed an evil god and became a demigod. He also became the follower of the goddess of luck.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that his ministry, one of which is the transformation of art, is no different from rubbish, and there is nothing to say about it.
The other one is more special: from decay to rebirth.
If you can use this to get in touch with the other party, the decaying divinity that Lilith just obtained from the decaying dragon god may be marketable.
Vander Dragonthorn himself is only a demigod, so he may not be able to offer enough in exchange, but the goddess of luck who helped him ascend to god in the first place will definitely be able to offer it.
Moreover, there are rumors that Vander Dragonthorn has been very close to the Moon Maiden Suellen recently, and it is very likely that he is dating a rich woman.
If either of these two goddesses with medium divine power chooses to stand up for him, Lilith will definitely have a more satisfactory harvest.
As for why the other party would reveal his identity to him so easily, it is of course the druid Nal and the light mage Lily who are loyal to Levi and have always been members of the Harper Alliance.
Under Li Wei's instruction, they also cooperated with the Harper Alliance in the Dark Area and helped each other establish several small and secret strongholds.
They also cooperated with the followers of Eilistraee, the dark maiden of the drow, to fight against the evil drow who believed in Lolth, so the relationship between the two parties has always been good.
As his mind was racing, Levi waved his hand: "There is no need for polite words. Our current goal is to destroy the devil and quell this riot. What is the situation below?"
Dulz Gundermann heard Livy's subtext, kill the demon first and talk about other things later.
So he didn't waste any time: "The culprit behind all this, Samuel, is currently trying to sacrifice a large number of beasts and rat-humans to create Nurgle Abandons and Nurgle Chaos Eggs!"
Needless to say, Chaos Eggs are completely twisted, mindless monsters that never know fear.
The Abandoned are existences between the plague carriers and the Chaos Spawn. Their bodies have also been severely mutated due to the power of the devil, but they have not been completely distorted, so their combat effectiveness is also between the two.
Just as he was speaking, a large number of Nurgle Plague Carriers, Forsaken, and Chaos Spawns had already swarmed in. Even if they were still some distance away, the surrounding air became obviously much filthy.
Elegy, Mortred and others rushed forward immediately, but Levi was more concerned about the other two words: "Where did the beasts and ratmen come from in the Brass Fortress?"
This fortress originally existed to defend against beastmen. If the facts are as the other party said, doesn't it mean that the brass fortress has been infiltrated into a sieve long ago?
"Samuel used his identity to introduce him. Those idiots might have had some unrealistic illusions, thinking that Samuel was an avenger who hated the empire, but they didn't expect that Samuel actually surrendered to the Nazis. Grime Demon."
Hearing this, the chanter next to him who was casting protection and buffing spells on the front row warriors also felt something was wrong: "How do you know so clearly?"
What he didn't say was, did you also expect it? Then why didn't you inform us of the Sigma Church as soon as possible?
But Dulz Gundermann just glanced at him, and then continued to say to Levi: "We tried to assassinate and stop it, but unfortunately it ended in failure, so we notified the paladin of Tire as soon as possible, They are on their way now."
The chanter's eyes suddenly widened. The Sigma Sect has always believed that there should be only one sect in the Sigma Empire, and that is Sigma.
Even though Tyr is synonymous with kindness and justice, he will never back down when it comes to conflicts of faith.
Now the other party's actions suddenly aroused his strong dissatisfaction and even hostility.
If the matter were not critical now, and if Levi was by his side, just based on what the other party said just now, he would have every reason to arrest the other party in the name of the Church of Sigmar!
But now neither Livy nor Dulze Gundermann care much about the chanter.
For Levi, he found a more suitable guide, and Dulz Gundermann had already made a decision when he said what he just said.
If he is lucky enough to survive after this incident is over, then the worst he can do is leave the Brass Fortress and leave the area ruled by the chanter.
Anyway, with his ability, he can do well in any province he goes to.
Maybe even the Elector of the Hawk Territory would protect him and even negotiate with the Church of Sigmar to transfer the chanter away from here.
Because replacing the chanter of the Brass Fortress is not important to the Hawk Territory, but without him, Durz Gundermann, the Hawk Territory will permanently lose a special unit!
In comparison, Samuel, the son of the Elector of Hawkland, is not too important.
Regardless of whether he took the initiative or was tempted by the demon, when he decided to surrender to the Nurgle demon, he was already an enemy and a dying person to the elector.
After pondering for a moment, Li Wei continued to ask: "Who are our enemies?"
The Harper Alliance may not be very powerful, but their intelligence system is still very developed, and it's worth looking forward to.
"The dungeon and the first level we are on are all corrupted and transformed Nurgle plague bearers, derelicts and chaos eggs. The commander is Samuel. They seem to just want to delay time and prepare a larger scale sacrifice.
Sacrifice ceremony.”
"The top level is the Wither King. Prince Levi may already know that it is enough to compete with two powerful celestial beings in a short period of time. It is the legendary Nurgle Demon Prince."
"The second level is the demon army commanded by the Corruptor Volot. The Corruptor may have been a chief from Norsca."
Having said this, Dulz Gundermann paused slightly: "There is also Doctor Festus. We have reason to suspect that the reason why the Nurgle demons act in such a big way is probably to make this doctor
'Promoted to the Demon Prince of Nurgle."
Before Levi could speak, the chanter next to him couldn't help shouting: "How is that possible? Even in the capital Altdorf, Dr. Festus is the kindest and famous doctor who has saved the most people.
How could a doctor who is best at treating plagues degenerate into a Nurgle demon?"
Durze Gundermann finally answered the other party's question this time: "So, can this kind doctor cure Nurgle's plague?"
The chanter was speechless for a moment. He seemed to vaguely understand why the doctor had fallen.
Because no matter how famous he is, no matter how superb his medical skills are, he is only a mortal after all, and there is no way he can solve the Nurgle plague that combines the power of magic and demons.
Watching the patient tortured to death by the disease, or simply being corrupted into a Nurgle demon, he, the doctor, was helpless. How desperate must he be in his heart?
Despair is the food of demons. It is only natural that the demon of Nurgle would take advantage of the situation and teach the other party about the disease, and then corrode the whole body, mind and soul of this famous doctor.
Levi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly. Did Sigma specifically ask him to come here just to destroy the Nurgle Demon and prevent the Brass Fortress from being captured?
If this matter were replaced by other legends of the empire, or if the Punisher and other Sigma's Celestial Legion were to fight, the same thing could be done, but the time spent and the price paid might be different.
Then combine it with your own disaster avoidance
So the key point of the matter may lie in the famous doctor Festus!
Thinking of this, Li Wei directly ordered: "We are divided into two groups, Cindy and I go to rescue the famous doctor."
"Everyone else followed Elegy and Penthesilea to the dungeon to annihilate Samuel and stop the demon Nurgle's sacrificial ceremony, and then sweep upwards to defeat the remaining demons. Do you have any different opinions?"
Elegy and others shook their heads. Although they were somewhat worried, they also knew that with Li Wei's current strength, he could protect himself against most enemies.
The worst thing they can do is handle things more beautifully, and then go to support Li Wei as soon as possible!
Penthesilea was a little hesitant, because her current identity was still Li Wei's bodyguard, but soon after she and Li Wei looked at each other, she understood what Li Wei meant without having to speak.
More than herself, Elegy, Mortred and others need her protection more.
So Penthesilea immediately fell silent, and at the same time some inexplicable emotions emerged in her heart again.
Since when did I have such a tacit understanding with Li Wei? It's obvious that it hasn't been long since they met!
But Dulz Gundermann raised his hand: "Prince Levi, I can take you up there, I am familiar with the terrain there!"
After hearing this, the chanter gave up his original plan and said instead: "Prince Li Wei, if this is the case, then I will guide Lord Elegy."
Although he felt a little resentful towards Durz Gundermann and had some doubts about his true identity, he knew what was the most urgent matter. He would not delay the important task of saving the Brass Fortress because of this matter, let alone disobey Sigma in public.
A specially invited distinguished guest.
"Okay, let's set off immediately and meet at the top later!"
"Yes!" "Okay!" "No problem!"
Following a series of echoes, Elegy and Penthesilea took the lead, heading towards the dungeon, and at the same time secretly made up their minds.
We just hit a wall with the God of Decay, so let us vent our anger in the next battle, and let the chanter see our own strength!
Levi also summoned all the war dancers and snake girls, and then began to march towards the second floor.
Both of these arms are famous for their flexibility and agility, and are the nemesis of the sluggish Nurgle Demon.
In addition, their strength was strong enough, so although various enemies constantly blocked the road, it basically did not delay them much time.
Seeing this look, Dulz Gundermann was stunned for a while.
He is certainly not an inexperienced person who has been able to achieve his current special status, but the information in the intelligence is completely different from the Prince Li Wei he is seeing with his own eyes.
He didn't even cast any attack spells along the way, he just relied on the summons to take care of everything!
Coupled with the two powerful beings who are fighting against the Wither King, if this situation continues, I am afraid that there is no need to wait for Tyr's paladins to arrive, and the danger of the Brass Fortress will have been completely eliminated, right?
Levi was also looking at these special victorious shooters. Their names were a little exaggerated, but their strength was indeed pretty good. The announced fourth-level troops, these elites who followed Durze Gundermann, were basically
It's level 5.
At the same time, unlike most long-range troops, their skills are very flexible and their survivability should be acceptable. No wonder they can become the exclusive troops of the Hawk Territory.
It's just that compared to bows and arrows, the shooting sound of muskets is too loud, and even if their muskets are generally enchanted, they are still not as powerful as the Avalon sisters.
As for the rate of fire, it is far behind.
The good thing is that the perfect shooter should be mass-produced.
It may take decades to cultivate a qualified Avalon, but it may only take a few months to become a perfect shooter.
The same is true in many other aspects. This is one of the important reasons why humans, a young race, can quickly catch up with the elves.
As for the other reasons, it is naturally because of the human gods.
After fighting all the way, they soon reached the entrance to the second floor. Behind them was a road paved with all kinds of demonic filth.
Levi slowed down slightly, allowing Durz Gundermann and others to take a breath, and then asked casually: "With your strength, your status in the Harper Alliance must be high, right?"
Dulz Gundermann calmed down: "We are a relatively loose organization, and there are no particularly strict superiors and subordinates. I am just the person in charge of the Hawke Territory and the Midden Territory."
Li Wei chuckled, it was just this, it was used very cleverly.
The Sigma Empire only has 12 provinces in total. One province alone may be larger than the entire area of some small countries. He is not a small person.
"In this case, you must be able to contact Lord Vander Dragonthorn, right?"
"Are you talking about the legendary demigod? How can I be so virtuous and capable!"
Dulz Gundermann shook his head and smiled bitterly. At the same time, his breathing rhythm and so on did not change at all, as if he really was not lying.
But his disguise was nothing worth mentioning in front of Li Wei.
"Okay, I came here with good intentions and said that my goddess has what he wants. Decaying divinity is very difficult to get."
Having said this, what could Dulze Gundermann say? He could only smile bitterly again, but this time it was no longer a disguise, but from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, Prince Levi, I will tell the truth to my god."
Levi nodded slightly, and then motioned to the two war dancers to open the door.
Dulz Gundermann immediately concentrated on preparing to resist the opponent's surprise attack, but unexpectedly, there were no enemies at the door, and they walked up very smoothly.
But under their feet, there was a giant carpet of flesh and blood that seemed to be paved with internal organs.
In many places, bile is used to describe poems of praise and praise, but they are not dedicated to Sigmar, but to Nurgle, the god of chaos.
Therefore, in the eyes of Dulze Gundermann, these praises and praises immediately turned into blasphemies.
Dulze Gundermann immediately felt that it was right not to let the chanter follow him. Otherwise, after seeing the scene in front of him, in order to protect Sigma's glory, he would probably rush forward and die.
There are hundreds of green giant cocoons stuck to the ceiling more than ten meters above the ground. Judging from their size, they are either corpses or some Nurgle demons. In short, they are definitely not good things.
At the same time, diseases and miasma have condensed into entities like mosquitoes and can be seen almost everywhere. They even vaguely form some special patterns, which are obviously not just simple decorations.
Even if he didn't try it directly, Levi could vaguely feel that in this special place, his space magic was suppressed and affected to a certain extent.
And a hundred meters away, there was a large army waiting in full formation.
Nurgle Beasts, Plague Toads, Chaos Spawns, these are just regular troops.
There are also three Great Unclean Ones of Nurgle among them. When they first met, they might have been more difficult enemies to deal with, but now it seems that they are just more resistant to being beaten.
But in addition to this, there is also a group of about 800 elite warriors who are arranged in a neat formation, wearing heavy armor and holding axes and shields or giant axes with two hands.
If it weren't for the fact that their armors were all green, and there was green pus oozing out from all over their bodies, as well as the mark of Nurgle on their bodies, no one would be willing to believe them even if they were said to be the royal guards of any country.
Seeing this, Dulz Gundermann also changed his expression. He was a little dry and even groaned: "It's Nurgle's chosen one, there are so many of them."
For other gods, the Chosen One is an extremely noble and rare existence. A god can usually have three or two Chosen Ones, which is considered good. Even some demigods may not have even one Chosen One.
Because for the gods, only those who have been given divinity and can walk on the earth on their behalf and spread their glory are worthy of becoming the chosen ones.
There are many demigods and weak divine powers, and they have little divinity in total, so naturally they cannot be generous enough to hand them over to mortals.
But for the Four Gods of Chaos, especially Nurgle, the meaning of the Chosen One is very different:
Anyone who is favored by them, regardless of their strength, can be called the Chosen One, and they will also be given power.
This leads to the fact that compared to other gods, the number of chosen ones under the command of the Four Gods of Chaos is simply overwhelming. For example, there are a total of 800 Nurgle chosen ones in front of them.
The Four Gods of Chaos probably want to use this method to dampen the faith and piety of mortals in the other gods.
Of course, even the Four Gods of Chaos definitely don't have that much divinity to bestow, so what they bestow is demonic power, which can also greatly increase the combat effectiveness of these chosen ones.
Depending on the specific amount of demonic power bestowed upon them, as well as individual tolerance and talent, the strength of the Chosen Ones under the Four Gods of Chaos may vary greatly.
But in Dulz Gundermann's view, the Chosen of Nurgle in front of him were probably the most elite raider champion warriors from the Norsca region before. After receiving Nurgle's blessing,
They are probably all level 5 elite units.
In addition, the number is so large, let alone this kind of surprise attack, even if it is a frontal attack, the defenders of the Brass Fortress do not know whether they can defend it.
Moreover, their leader is still the corruptor who is nearly five meters tall and has a great reputation in the Norsca region - Volot!
But Levi's eyes passed over them, and he just looked further away. On an altar, a man dressed as a doctor was surrounded by many Nurgle believers who were suspected of being mages.
The Nurgle believers did not use violence against the doctor, they seemed to be simply explaining something to him. No, it seemed more like they were spreading Nurgle's faith to him.
Levi immediately knew that if the other party was the famous doctor, it might not be too late!
