Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 210 Ashridge Town
After confirming Li Wei's name and identity, Mikaela was obviously more enthusiastic. She quickly expressed that she would take the things back as soon as possible and hand them over to the acting lord for personal inspection. Once there is any result, He will be notified immediately.

Li Wei had nothing to do, so he followed the other party to Ash Ridge Town.

After chatting for a while on the way, he realized that the high elves have established magic guards in many places outside the town. Once there is a large wave of fire magic, they will immediately dispatch to investigate.

This is mainly because most of the demons are good at fire magic. Ash Ridge Town has encountered several similar attacks before. Later, the acting lord decided to use the magic sentry to snipe the enemies out of the town as much as possible.

But soon Mikaela also proudly said that these guard posts had not been triggered for a few days, because as time went by, reinforcements from various kingdoms had arrived one after another, and the wood elves also extended Therefore, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides has been reversed. More often, they are attacking and the demons are defending.

Soon she also expressed some annoyance, but unfortunately, because the demons desecrated the dragon's cemetery, they summoned many bone dragons and ghost dragons, and combined with the almost endless army of demons, many large-scale attacks by her side failed. Return in vain.

So after several failed attempts, the high elves had to temporarily change their battle strategy, that is to fight daily, try to attack Black Castle, and at the same time destroy as many demons as possible to prevent them from attacking other surroundings village.

However, because the demon army can not only pass through the teleportation array, but also fly out directly through the abyss fissure, its direction of advance is difficult to predict, so the current battle situation can only be said to be beneficial to its own side, but it has not gained a decisive advantage.

After introducing some basic information, they almost arrived in Ash Ridge Town. Mikaela greeted Li Wei and led the troops away.

After scanning around, he found that the size of the town was unexpectedly large, with no end in sight at a glance. It was a large settlement that could accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people.

The defense here is also extremely strong. The pure white city wall is two stories high and seems to be made of marble, with a faint magical light shining on it.

Moreover, the city wall is also very wide, and Li Wei can at least see hundreds of spears, archers, Lothern Ocean Guards, and Silver Light Guards patrolling on it.

A dozen flying beasts such as giant eagles and griffins were lazily basking in the sun, and there were more than fifty ballistas beside them, and several high elves who looked like commanders were organizing personnel to adjust them.

Then there is a series of dense arrow towers, all of which are four to five meters in diameter and tens of meters high. They are not so much arrow towers, but in fact they are more like individual small buildings, which are not at all like those arrow towers in Bitao Village. It is not a level.

It also contains a large number of shooting holes. Roughly speaking, it should not be a problem to hide three to five hundred people in these arrow towers.

Li Wei was already very surprised by what he saw. This was just a daily defense. If there was a real battle, he wouldn't be too surprised if the number of defenders was 10 times larger.

After entering the city, the scene became more obvious. On the side of the road more than ten meters wide, there were all kinds of shops and special buildings.

Looking around, he could easily find libraries, weapons training centers, taverns, barracks, magic towers, etc. according to the signs, and there were at least a dozen temples from different elves and gods. Those small villages are too prosperous.

Although it was a time of war, the atmosphere here was not particularly tense, and most of the faces of the aborigines were filled with smiles.

And even though he couldn't see it with the naked eye, he could sense waves of energy waves emanating from somewhere in the city, constantly scanning for something, probably confirming his camp and race, After dozens of seconds, it seemed that the investigation had been completed before it slowly stopped.

They are already so strong, yet this place is just a town?This is much stronger than the defense of small cities of other races!

After walking a few steps, he saw a huge signboard at first glance, which listed more than a dozen taboos in Ash Ridge Town.

Including the prohibition of casting spells at will, the prohibition of fighting in places other than the arena, the prohibition of breaking into other people's residences without invitation or permission, and the stricter prohibition of rummaging in other people's houses
The more he looked at the back, the more Li Wei felt outrageous, because he felt that normal people were unlikely to violate these rules. Most of them were for the heroes chosen by the gods, especially the thieves among them, right?

This really made him speechless
At this time, the former guild member came over with a smile: "Vice President, I am Bai Zhange. You met me in Bitao Village before."

Li Wei nodded slightly: "Yes, I remember you, are the Lightcasters in town?"

"No, no, they are now divided into two groups. One group is going to recruit a hero, and the other group has already gone to the border to fight those green-skinned God's Chosen heroes."

Li Wei suddenly became interested: "Are there many heroes in this town?"

Although he now has Donna and Leonidas under his command, and it will be a matter of time before Tiva returns to his command, he still wants more. After all, with the improvement of his strength, leadership has always been stretched, even if it is Quality heroes, he doesn't mind either.

White Battle Song couldn't help but frown: "Originally, there were about a dozen heroes from different races one after another. At first, we thought that this would be our chance. After all, under the leadership of several bosses, our guild The members have been developing well."

He wasn't exactly flattering. Among other things, just because Li Wei asked them to meet the troops who came to help in advance, he immediately recruited a large number of subordinates, which already distanced them from the others.

Then he changed his voice: "But soon we found that we had overlooked a problem, because our competitors are not only other God's Chosen heroes, but also the aborigines in the town in order to strengthen their combat effectiveness, and they will also throw olive branches to them."

"And they were very generous this time. They took out a lot of gold coins and equipment, and even conferred military positions on the spot. Human heroes are directly sergeants, and half-elfs are non-commissioned officers. This allows us to compete for the first place. what?"

Li Wei was dumbfounded, isn't it? If even the aborigines took action, even if they wanted to rebate the money, I am afraid that many people would rush over there. After all, the hard power of the colony lies here.

As for the one that the Lightcaster is currently working on, it was probably left by the high elves. It is estimated that either his ability is not good enough, or his race or appearance does not meet their standards.

As elves, they still look at their faces very much.

"Are there any left in the tavern?"

White Warsong spread his hands: "Let's not talk about heroes, there are no soldiers anymore. Now I follow Master Mikaela's ass to do some patrol and guard tasks all day long, and there is another brother who spends most of the time squatting in the tavern. In order to be able to recruit available arms at the first time."

Well, now Li Wei has a clear understanding of the cruelty of the battle.

It's no wonder that the Lightforgers decided to send people to fight the green-skinned God's Chosen heroes, because they clearly couldn't fight the demons in a war of attrition under such a shortage of troops.

But playing green skins is different. Everyone is a hero chosen by God, and the troops are hard-earned. Even if you want to kill the opponent in your heart, you usually don't come up and beat you to death.

After inquiring about some relevant information, Li Wei and White Warsong separated. They also had missions to do, so he went to the barracks and the tavern respectively to accept missions such as killing a certain number of demons and collecting certain materials.

Although this large-scale invasion of demons, the system did not release large-scale regional tasks like the previous crusade against the jackals in the rocky highlands, but he can still accept various tasks independently, and he will also have military merit points, and he can still use Used to improve military rank or exchange for certain items.

At the same time, he also found that the quartermaster in the barracks regretted that in order to ensure the defense of the town, there would be no remaining recruitment places until the next reinforcements arrived.

Unsurprisingly, the tavern seemed a bit empty. The aborigines who usually like to stay here to drink, chat, and brag are probably recruited by other God's Chosen heroes at this moment, and then went out to participate in various battles.

In addition to some ordinary townspeople, there are two special guys who seem to be heroes.

After seeing their appearance, Levi seemed to be able to understand why they were not recruited by the aborigines, because one of them was a dwarf and the other was a cat.

The former is fine, the elves just can't understand or are a little tired of them.

But the latter, allowing him to walk into the town alive, is actually considered generous by the high elves.

The catman is a relatively small branch of the barbaric system. Most of the camps are chaotic neutral and evil, and they are hated by the high elves. However, since he can sit here safely, he should be regarded as a member of his own race. Heresy.

Although a little curious, Li Wei just took a look, because these two guys were surrounded by at least four or five God's Chosen Heroes, and their attitudes were very earnest. He didn't bother to compete with the younger brother sent by the Founder to stay behind.

After leaving the tavern, he replenished his arrows and various supplies first, and then he planned to visit the other major temples one by one to see if there was an opportunity to recruit troops or buy some special items. At the same time, he also stopped by other taverns to find Take a look at Sadylan.

The other party seemed to have been taken back from his residence, so he could only live in a tavern, but there were more than one tavern in the town, and the one he went to just now was the largest one, and Mikaela didn't know which tavern he could find the other party in.

Then he planned to stop by the temple of the Moon Bow Goddess and the stronghold of the Red Brotherhood. There was no other purpose, just to show his face and tell the other party that he had arrived here.

Then he was very surprised to find that, probably because of his popularity and his military position, he received a relatively warm reception every time he went to a temple.

But it's a pity that there is still nothing to do about the arms, because they have expressed that the vitality of the temples has basically supported the regular army, and he can only replenish some consumable scrolls and holy water from various temples.

Then his luck was not bad, he successfully found Lisa Dilan in the third tavern.

It's just that when they really saw each other, everyone couldn't get rid of this bearded, drunk, and even some unknown and filthy guy, and the previous one who dared to charge against the demon army that was several times his own. The Warriors connect.

Mikaela said before that Sadilan's situation was not very good, but Li Wei never expected that the other party was so bad.

Even though Li Wei brought Donna, Julia and others in, Lisa Dilan didn't notice them at all, and just kept pouring wine into his mouth.

Li Wei couldn't help looking at the Avalon girl guards next to him: "What's the matter? How did he drink like this? You don't care?"

Could it be that the fight for the girl failed?But a few days ago, didn't he say that the girl happily accepted the Flame War Goose from him as a gift?

A few Avalon sighed and smiled bitterly. They tried to stop it, but it didn't work at all!

At this time, probably hearing Li Wei's voice, Lisa Dilan reluctantly opened her hazy drunken eyes: "Ah, it's Li Wei, I'm sorry for letting you see me like this."

Li Wei pulled up a chair and signaled the other subordinates to find a place to sit down first.

"What's the situation? Have you been dumped?"

Lisa Dilan couldn't help showing a wry smile: "Yes, but not exactly."

After a few words of communication, Li Wei finally understood that the girl Lisa Dilan was looking for had many suitors, and Lisa Dilan was just one of them.

And because he has participated in several battles in succession recently, and he gave his sister a favorite gift. At the same time, his status in Ash Ridge Town and his own strength have improved a lot, so his self-confidence has increased rapidly.

So he invited another most powerful competitor to a duel between men in the wild to decide whether he had the right to continue pursuing the girl, and the loser had to give up immediately.

This is actually a bit of a violation, because high elves are strictly forbidden to fight among themselves. Even if a duel is to be held out of honor or other needs, it must be witnessed by local nobles and priests. This is mainly because In order to avoid any accidents from happening.

But because the matter involved a girl, both parties were a little impulsive, and the other party agreed to him without hesitation.

Then the two had a one-on-one match, and finally ended with Lisa Dilan narrowly winning. Although the opponent was very unwilling and helpless, he finally agreed to withdraw voluntarily.

Up to this point, it was actually a good thing, but after Sadilan left, a little accident happened.

A group of green-skinned god-chosen heroes passed by with a team, and then found the high elf who was seriously injured on the side of the road.

Did they see such a good thing?Immediately, he swarmed up and killed that unlucky guy.

Afterwards, when the nearby patrol team found traces of a large number of green skins, they only found the other party's body, and Lisa Dilan who also felt something was wrong, so they turned back.

What's even more coincidental is that the leader of the patrol team was the deceased's father, a Caledonian nobleman who had considerable power in the colony, and was also one of the most powerful figures in the colony after the acting lord.

Although Sadilan hated the competition between the other party and himself, this kind of competition is far from rising to the level of hatred. He didn't think that the other party would really die, so he told all the ins and outs of the whole thing Come out, and under the detection of magic, he can't lie.

What happened next, even if he didn't say anything, Li Wei and others could easily guess it.

Of course, the noble who lost his beloved son arrested him immediately, and deprived him of all military positions and meritorious service. By the time the acting lord, who was fighting against the devil, and Rainer, who had heard the news, arrived one after another, the matter was already over. The dust has settled.

And to be honest, even if Reiner pleaded for him, it would be very difficult to work.

On the one hand, it was because Lisa Dilan had indeed violated the ban. On the other hand, both the deceased and his father had the surname Caledo. Reiner, a new hero, was far inferior to the other party in this place. .

So he exhausted his strength, and in the end, he only got the nobles to withdraw the order to completely deport Lisa Dilan, but he could no longer join the battle as a soldier within three months.

This time may not sound very long, but we both know that the current situation where we need to fight against greenskins and demons at the same time is the best opportunity for advancement.

If he missed this time, even if he rejoins the army in the future, he can only start as a lowly soldier, and he doesn't know how long it will take to climb up to the position of lieutenant again.

What's more, since he offended that nobleman, the other party may never give him a chance to make meritorious deeds again.

Among other things, if he gave an order to attack Black Fort casually, he probably wouldn't be able to survive for half a day.

In desperation, Leiner could only comfort him, and decided to find another opportunity to reuse him after three months, and then hurried to the front line to fight against the green skins.

Next, the nobleman used his authority to forbid the girl from interacting with him, and even the girl wanted to return the Raging Flame War Goose to him, but he resolutely confiscated it.

But even so, after suffering this series of blows, all kinds of negative emotions such as remorse, anger, and unwillingness have filled his heart, and he can only drink to survive.

After listening, everyone couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation. Although Sadilan was indeed at fault in this matter, the punishment for him may not be too severe, right?
But Li Wei didn't feel particularly surprised. This was mainly because of the overwhelming gap in strength between the two parties. When Lisa Dilan did make a mistake, although the other party's treatment was a little harsh, it was definitely considered a serious problem. It's not a violation.

He even had some doubts, if it wasn't for the gods watching from above, the nobleman might have killed him secretly, and then put him on the green skin's head.

No matter whether other people want to believe it or not, as long as they fool around a little more, no one except Reiner will be willing to explore the truth.

In contrast, it is a blessing in misfortune that Sadilan is still alive now.

Moreover, although he couldn't bear it, Li Wei knew that he was secretly happy in his heart. Now that the other party is in such a state, wouldn't he have a chance?
Lisa Dilan is not only a Tier 5 elite, but the Avalons around him are also at least Tier 4 elites. If they can join him, it will be of great benefit to his own strength.

So after a few words of comfort to the other party, he said bluntly: "In this case, why don't you fight with me for a while?"

"I can give you part of the troops, help you investigate the information about those green skins, and then take revenge on them. I can even introduce you to a beautiful sister."

Saying this, he looked sideways at Julia.

Although there is no definite evidence yet, Julia has praised Sadilan in front of her before, at least she should not refuse.

What's more, I just said that I want to introduce it. Whether it can be done or not depends on their own fate.

Noticing Li Wei's gaze, and the slightly narrow gaze of Donna and Cindy next to her, Julia blushed immediately, but she did not dodge, but bravely looked directly at Lisa Dilan.

Hearing this, and looking at Julia's appearance, Lisa Dilan, who was still six to seven points drunk, became sober in an instant.

He wanted to refuse subconsciously, and just after he failed in his pursuit, he immediately changed his target, so what is he?

But after thinking about it, he still didn't say dead: "Li Wei, thank you very much for lending a helping hand to me at this time. I am willing to join your team temporarily, but I need to think about other things."

Li Wei immediately smiled and stretched out his hand: "Of course, there is no problem."

The meat is already in the pot, so why not eat it a few days later?

Then several Avalon guards also spoke one after another. There is no doubt that they are willing to continue to follow Lisa Diran.

At this time, the system's notification tone also sounded, and Li Wei glanced at it, and found that their current status was almost exactly the same as that of Donna back then, and they had joined temporarily, so they couldn't see attributes and skills clearly.

But even without these, he had already deduced the opponent's combat effectiveness, after all, they had fought side by side more than once.

The Avalon Maiden Guard has additional riding skills and mounted shooting, and is almost identical to the ordinary Avalon sisters in other respects.

Lisa Dilan can be regarded as an enhanced version of their power, but the gender has changed.

However, Lisa Dilan quickly corrected it. They actually have different occupations. He is a noble knight-errant, and the Avalon sisters or Avalon girls will never recruit any men.

The reason why it looks very similar to the attack methods of other Avalons is that he deliberately found the magic bow used by the Avalons, and also learned a special skill called Moonfire from the Temple of Lilith That's all.

Yes, not only did he have a good relationship with the temples of Lilith and Moonbow, but he was also a shallow believer of the two goddesses.

Since the elf gods are very united, it is very common to worship many different elf gods at the same time.

Of course, this only applies to general believers and superficial believers. If you are a higher-level true believer, you must believe in a god exclusively.

Li Wei didn't care too much. Except for a very few professions such as priests and paladins, whether other professions believe in gods actually has little impact. If they die, they can only acquire some insignificant skills.

This is especially true for god-chosen heroes. Although he has not yet believed in any gods, no matter which temple he goes to, the other party will warmly entertain him.

But now that Lisa Dilan has joined the team, Li Wei has to face the problem that has not yet been resolved, which is the lack of cavalry units. He can't just let him take a few Avalons out for riding and shooting. ?

After pondering for a while, Lisa Dilan said with some embarrassment that this question can actually be left to him. If there are too many people, he can't guarantee it. He is still sure about ten or twenty people.

It's just that his military position has been demoted to the end. I'm afraid he can't command any troops normally. They still need to be under Li Wei's command, so they also need to pay part of the military expenses.

He really didn't have much to spare except for a little money for wine. The nobleman whose son died confiscated his house and assets, because they were originally issued to him by the town for temporary use.

Li Wei didn't say a word, he directly handed over the remaining dozens of gold coins to the other party, and told the other party to recruit as many as possible, and he would go to get more gold coins.

After building Bitao Village and recruiting a large number of troops, his wallet was almost empty, and this time he simply cleared the balance, but the problem is not big, and he will be able to get it again after a trip to the Red Brotherhood. An emergency fund.

Lianhua had told him before that apart from buying and selling captives and acting as mercenary brokers, they could occasionally lend some money to acquaintances.

However, considering the dangers of this world, ordinary people may disappear immediately after leaving the village for half an hour, and naturally the money will not be recovered, so they usually only lend to acquaintances whose strength is recognized by them, and usually It's the kind of nine out and thirteen out.

But if it was changed to Li Wei, she promised to make a slight discount.

After confirming some details, Lisa Dilan left with a few Avalons. Although he was still unkempt, his spirit was many times better than before, because he found a new direction for his efforts .

Regardless of his military position, he must at least get rid of the culprits who caused him to be in such a predicament, get rid of those green-skinned God's Chosen heroes!

　When I woke up in the morning, the pillow was covered in blood, and my head was a little dizzy. I'm going to check it out today, sorry.
