Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 274 Recruitment and Exchange

The next day, in the magic library of Castle Black, Li Wei stretched his waist vigorously: "Ah, it's finally finished."

He still didn't go north yesterday to participate in the battle of the Sun Knight and the others.

The main reason is that after capturing and plundering several villages, the green-skinned aborigines and the nearby god-chosen heroes have reacted and started to launch targeted counterattacks.

Since there were also a lot of opponents, it was inevitable that they would be damaged in a fight, so they retreated one after another.

Anyway, the greenskins were threatened by demons behind them, so it was impossible to maintain such a large number of troops all the time. However, Pigherd Town had already been captured, and most of the remaining territories of the Red Cloud Tribe were almost defenseless for the elves.

They can prepare well next time, gather more troops, change the time, or change the angle, and launch a new attack, there is no need to rush for a while.

So Li Wei thought about it, and chose a backup plan, and returned to Black Castle with his troops, intending to learn magic and skills first, and also played this week's dungeon.

At the same time, he also began to send a letter to Glory of Blood, asking Alduin and Naar to come over and fight side by side with him, one instance at a time.

Although he intends to recruit these two heroes, the relationship is mutual. If he blindly gives without asking for anything, the other party will inevitably feel awkward after a long time, which may lead to various conflicts.

But this time Li Wei asked them for help, which meant that he still needed them, and their feelings were completely different.

Sure enough, the other party agreed very readily, and decided to follow the path explored by the sword dancers from the Moon Singer and rush to Black Castle as quickly as possible.

After spending several hours, Li Wei finally finished copying his own magic, but this simple copying did not allow him to master it immediately, and he still had to learn slowly.

The two spells he transcribed were very particular, and they were chosen after he specifically asked Mikaela and combined with his own needs and abilities.

Among them, the fourth-level magic is called Ava Black Tentacle. Its effect is to summon a large number of energy tentacles. Once they appear, they will immediately strangle the enemy like a snake. control magic.

As the strength of the enemy increases, the control effect of the spider web technique becomes worse and worse, and there is also a weakness of fire, which is difficult to be effective against demons.

But it would be different if the Aivar black tentacles were pure energy without attributes, and would not be subject to any special restraint by magic, and normal physical attacks would be almost completely ineffective.

The fifth-level magic is called Flaming Skull, which is one of Michaela's specialties.

Once used, the huge head with a diameter of more than two meters and made entirely of flames will charge forward like a galloping bison.

Even if it hits something, it won't dissipate on the spot, but will forcefully knock it into the air. It is a powerful large-scale magic, especially good at destroying the enemy's formation.

As for other magics, to be honest, there are some very good ones, but unfortunately most of them have requirements for attributes, alignments, specialties, etc., and some magics even require strength and physique, which is really embarrassing for him.

These two spells are his best choices at the moment.

It is a pity that the magic of copying cannot be learned immediately. With his current ability, it is estimated that it will take a few days to actually use them.

After leaving the library, Li Wei went to join his subordinates. While he was busy, many people did not rest.

Li Wei spent his remaining military merits, supplemented all the hero units with primary leadership skills and primary military point skills, and improved their ability to lead troops. There are not many combat skills available for exchange at the quartermaster, but Both of these can be regarded as very basic and practical.

In addition, there are some weapon specialization and riding skills. Li Wei's ultimate goal is to let all his subordinates either ride the Sky Slayer or transform into cavalry, which can greatly speed up their own marching speed.

He himself specializes in common elements such as earth, fire, water, wind, light, darkness, electricity, etc., and has mastered all of them in one brain. As he masters more and more types of magic, he needs them more and more.

Now the subordinates are all in the training ground of Black Castle, practicing relevant skills hard, in order to further master them thoroughly.

However, the one who really worked hard may be the blood elf Sally, because in addition to the arcane conductor obtained by killing the enemy before, Li Wei gave her five new magics in one breath.

The first is a non-attribute magic missile, which is necessary for low-level mages, followed by the three-piece set of mage armor, invisibility and protective arrows, for her self-defense.

As for the last one, it is the summoning element.

Li Wei himself, as well as Cindy and Janet, all know how to summon magic, and the performance is also good in actual combat. It can't make Sally, a legal unit, stand out, right?
It's a pity that there are no magic pets suitable for her at the quartermaster, because basically all of them have been snatched up by other God's Chosen heroes.

With the continuous improvement of the strength of many God's Chosen heroes, the gap between various professions has also been quickly reflected, and Mage has become the undisputed number one.

Therefore, among the newly arrived God's Chosen heroes, the proportion of mages has increased rapidly, and the prices of related equipment, skills, magic, etc. have increased to varying degrees.

The magic pet is the first to bear the brunt, because the magic pet often has to accompany the mage for a long time.

There is no way, Li Wei can only let the Sun Knight continue to help with the acquisition, and at the same time see if he can meet a suitable target in the following battles.

When he arrived at the training ground, his subordinates were still working hard, and at the same time, he also accidentally found several acquaintances. Donna and Elegy were chatting with them.

That's right, it's the Amazon heroes from Lustria, the three sisters, the anaconda, the bird and the piranha.

Although it's only been a few days, it shouldn't be a big deal to the aborigines with a slow pace of life, but Li Wei can tell that their momentum has obviously changed.

It's not how much strength has improved, it's more like the whole person has experienced blood and fire, so the temperament has changed from the inside out, and they have become more restrained and calm.

Seeing Li Wei coming, they also greeted him with a smile, and then he learned that the reason why they showed this appearance was mainly because they needed to frequently participate in battles recently.

The elves are busy fighting demons, and the slightly stronger God's Chosen heroes have all gone north to fight the greenskins. The enemies in the field near Black Castle need them and some foreign heroes who have taken refuge in the elves to encircle and suppress them. .

Forget about other things, but recently the number of Beastmen is a little bit too much. In addition to the ordinary bad horned beasts, horned beasts and big horned beasts, there are harpies and centaurs appearing on the other side, which really brings them a lot. pressure.

There are quite a few cavalry archers in Amazon, but no matter how agile they are, they can't compare with natural cavalry like centaur.

But fortunately, Beastmen only appear more frequently recently, and the number of each group is not large, which gives them a chance to defeat each other. The continuous battle for many days has allowed every Amazon who has survived until now to get Get enough exercise.

After chatting for a few more words, he also asked about the recent battle in Black Castle.

Generally speaking, everything is going well, because the space magic of the elves restricts the place and direction where those demons come out, every time they appear, they will be massacred on a large scale, so gradually, the frequency of their appearance and the number began to decrease gradually.

Although the demons in the bottomless abyss are almost endless, this kind of meaningless death, even the demons are unwilling, it will make them look stupid.

It is predictable that sooner or later, the demons will give up completely. If the elves are free at that time, they Amazon will not be able to change places and continue to accept the employment of others.

They could only kill some Beastmen all day long, and they gradually got bored.

Of course, they have not forgotten the agreement they made with Li Wei before. If they really want to leave, they will also go to Bitao Village to build a permanent place for their sisters.

Li Wei felt a little annoyed. Originally, he wanted to let the witches Tiva and Leonida lead the team separately to come to Black Castle to fight the dungeon, so as to improve their combat effectiveness.

Although he often communicated with the other party and learned that everything is going well now, they can beat murlocs and the almost endless low-level undead in the east every day, and the level has also improved to a certain extent, but after all, it is not as fast as the dungeon.

But now it seems that the road is still a bit unsafe.

It's not safe to go by sea, transit in Ash Ridge Town, and come to Blacksburg again, because the movement of those sahuayu people has become more and more loud recently.

If things don't turn around, it will be a matter of time before a large-scale war breaks out between the sea elves and the sahuagin.

Although it is a little regrettable, this is also something that can't be helped. Life can't go well, so let them wait a little longer.

After thinking about it, he just sent an invitation to the other party: "If possible, after the battle here is over, you might as well accept my employment and go to the north to participate in a new battle together, how about it?"

Although the drow, the old black dragon, the undead, and the sahuagin are all enemies, the most important enemy in front of us is the green skin. If we call the anaconda and the others together, we may be able to attack some of the green skin together. a town or something.

And Li Wei felt that after killing the green skins, he could continue to hire them. To the north and east of the Red Cloud Tribe, there are still a large number of villages and towns of ogres and chaotic dwarves, especially the ogre kingdom, which occupies an area of The area is not ordinary, so there is absolutely no need to worry about not having enemies.

Anaconda and the three sisters looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement. During the past few days in Black Castle, they had heard many stories about Li Wei.

Especially yesterday, he was able to have a relationship with a real god. This is something they didn't even dare to think about. If they can hang out with him, it must be very exciting, right?
After confirming these, Li Wei was also very satisfied, so he went to the temple of the two goddesses, intending to supplement his own combat power.

Since the prestige level has reached respect, there is no limit to the number of troops he recruits from 0-3 ranks. As long as there are surplus troops in the temple and he has enough money, he can continue to recruit. He added some Priest units and Night Elf Huntresses.

At the beginning, he still disliked the female hunters, but with the appearance of Luna, he discovered the true value of these female hunters. Now, when Luna advances again, until her potential is exhausted, he should arrange a hero for her spirit.

Even her profession was prepared for her. The Moon Knight that Moon Bow Goddess rewarded earlier was just for her.

Tier 4 troops also have 5 quotas each week. He recruited 5 Storm Druids in the Moonbow Temple. Except for their own low HP, their abilities in all aspects are considered outstanding, and they are relatively rare Druids. As a profession, it is still very trustworthy.

On the contrary, in Lilith's temple, he was a little bit in trouble.

Because Lilith's unique units, Shadowmist Servants, are only Tier 3 melee units with almost zero defense. Their attack methods are similar to thieves or assassins, and they don't go well with his existing troop lineup. fusion.

Fortunately, the relationship between Lilith's temple and the army system was very good, so he used this quota instead and successfully recruited 5 Avalon girls.

These girls from the Kingdom of Avalon, armed with magic bows and arrows, can display quite good combat effectiveness against various enemies.

Although there are no relevant skills in the system's annotations, according to Li Wei's current observations in actual combat, their shooting accuracy is obviously better than that of ordinary archers.

After the employment was completed, he chose to believe in the two goddesses at the temple by the way. It was a simple process and donated a few silver coins.

Then he had two more shallow believer titles without any bonus at all.

He also learned by the way that in fact, his subordinates basically have their own beliefs.

For example, Donna and Elegy believe in Diana, Cindy believes in Sigma, not to mention, Zhou Miyin believes in the dragon god of Cathay, Lisa Dilan believes in the God of Hunting, Luna and other night elves also undoubtedly believe in the goddess of the moon bow, etc. Wait.

However, if the occupation is not a priest or a paladin, and the belief is not particularly pious, this will not bring them much benefit.

All things can freely choose their own beliefs, but gods will also inspect believers in turn.

In addition to ability, it often takes a lot of time, or crusade against the hostile forces of the sect, etc., to gradually increase the degree of piety.

But for Li Wei himself, he has no time and energy for the time being, and there is not much need for it.

Then he turned to the quartermaster.

Mikaela reminded him yesterday that in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the giant eagle, he can learn the skill of the giant eagle commander.

So in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the silver guards and archers, can he also learn related commander skills?

The answer is of course, but unfortunately, the merits required for these skills are not generally high, even better than ordinary combat skills, and the division is extremely detailed.

For example, the Spearmen, Sea Guards, and Silver Guards all use spears and shields as weapons, but they all have their own special commander skills.

Only Silver Guard and its advanced Silver Guard can share the same skill.

Then Li Wei discovered with great regret that after he had just emptied his old base and exchanged so many abilities for his subordinates, his meritorious service was only enough to choose one.

After a little consideration, he finally chose Commander Skyhawk Archer.

The biggest feature of his current army is that its long-range output is strong enough, so it is natural to continue to strengthen this aspect.

Skyhawk Commander, the special skill, with the increase of the battle level, it will benefit the Skyhawk Archer and its advanced arms Skyhawk Marksman, and the effects of similar skills cannot be superimposed on each other.

At level 3, attack power +3, defense power +1, life +6;

At level 6, attack power +6, defense power +2, life +9, maximum range +3%;

At level 9, attack power +9, defense power +3, life +12, maximum range +6%, arrow capacity +5.

Li Wei immediately called it a good guy. Although the price is extremely expensive, the bonus is really strong!
If you add in the bonuses related to military rank, it will be even more outrageous. Isn't this much stronger than the three simple military formations of the green skins?No wonder Michaela said that this skill could save the Giant Eagle!
He has already decided that next time he must exchange for the Silver Guard's skills, and next time it will be the Giant Eagle's turn.

Originally, he planned to go to the tavern to see if there were any special units worth recruiting. Then he saw an army under the banner of flying birds, quickly entering the city, and there were many giant eagles among them.

He immediately understood that the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Iris had arrived ahead of schedule.

After thinking about it, he followed Mikaela's previous suggestion and hired 15 Tier 4 giant eagles, intending to serve as the escort for the Sky Slayer airship.

Probably because of his prestige and popularity, the quartermaster also took the initiative to tell him that once he cultivated the giant eagle into an elite unit or advanced it, they could all be used as flying mounts.

At that time, only intermediate riding skills are needed to ride, and coupled with excellent archers, they can immediately become flying archers. There are many such existences in the Iris Kingdom and the wood elves' army.

Although Mikaela had already told him yesterday, Li Wei still nodded his thanks, and then he did not go to the meeting hall to find Princess Belinda, even if the other party made an exception and allowed him to learn the skills of the Giant Eagle Commander in advance, he would Can't get any merit at all.

At this moment, he also just received a message saying that Alduin and Nar had arrived near Castle Black.

Naturally, he went to greet them immediately, and then he found that besides the two of them, there were some unexpected guests beside them.

It was a mixed team composed of humans, dwarves, elves, etc., and the composition and occupational distribution of its members were very complicated.

There is even a centaur holding a staff, a black-skinned and white-haired drow, and a guy with butterfly wings on his back, who looks like an enlarged version of a little flower fairy.

Li Wei immediately knew that they must be from the Harper Alliance, the reinforcements that Naer called, because among the forces he was more familiar with, only the Harper was so fraternal.

Sure enough, Naer very happily introduced to him soon, that they were the reinforcements she had invited, and they just happened to arrive here today, just in time to meet Li Weilai.

Next, they will go to the Underdark Region, and in their own way, join hands with the Moon Singer to fight against many evil forces in the Underdark Region, and they will also try to establish new branches in the Underdark Region.

If possible, they will also investigate relevant information about vampires and the old black dragon, and share it with Levi.

Speaking of this, Naer couldn't help laughing: "Li Wei, I gave up the position of captain in order to repay your kindness~"

Li Wei couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then he was a little moved.

It's the captain, but if Naer can really make some achievements in the Underdark, she might become the leader of the Harper here in the future. In this way, she has indeed paid a lot.

He couldn't help but turned to smile and said, "Okay, Na'er, I'll keep that in mind, and I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

After the harpist's team greeted Li Wei, they turned and left under the leadership of the sword dancer.

The tasks on them are still very heavy, because the entire main world has been too chaotic recently, and they must make good use of every day.

As soon as they left, Alduin couldn't help laughing: "Li Wei, I heard that today is a dungeon, what kind of enemy is it?"

The aborigines also know about dungeons. Generally speaking, it is to go through some kind of space channel and go to the past time segment to fight.

It's just that in most cases, the dungeon is one-off. It's very, very rare that it's as stable as Castle Black, where countless people can enter and exit every day, so even he is inevitably a little curious.

Li Wei chuckled: "You will find out later, anyway, I will never let you down."

There is absolutely no shortage of enemies in the dungeon, and it is definitely enough for Alduin to have fun.

As soon as they entered Black Castle, Alduin and Nar looked at everything around them very freshly. Nar was still a little restrained, but Alduin couldn't help being a little amazed as he walked.

Because as far as the eye can see, there are so many god-chosen heroes from different races.

Humans, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, etc. are more common, not to mention, he has also seen a few elemental and mechanical systems, and even mermaids, a race that usually lives in water.

Now they gathered in Black Fort at the same time, and with the troops behind them ranging from dozens to hundreds, it seemed that the entire Black Fort was very lively.

However, Li Wei knew very well that they came here for one reason, and that was the copy here.

Of course, it is because he has just experienced such a big victory in Pigherd Town, and has gained extremely rich rewards, so in his opinion, apart from experience points, the rewards of clearing a dungeon are not too much, but for the other God's Chosen heroes Still, they are very attractive.

Since the dungeon has a limit on the maximum number of people, so after a little thought, Li Wei divided the troops into three.

Donna took Naer, Zhou Miyin and Lisa Dilan together with some priests and druids to form the most stable combination of melee, archer, cavalry and nurse.

In this way, no matter what kind of enemy you face, you can have a good way to deal with it.

Naer can be used as an all-rounder and a backup method. She can exert her strength no matter in attack, defense or healing. In case of emergency, she can even summon the ancient guardian to help out.

Cindy, Elegy, Julia, Xiaotian, Simon, and Bayoru are the second team. Their bonus to troops is relatively weak, but their individual combat effectiveness is good, and their troops are well configured.

Especially the two girls, Cindy and Elegy, have the potential to change the small-scale battle.

These two teams are fully arranged. As for the last group, it is Luna, Sally and Alduin led by Li Wei.

The strength of their troops, compared to the previous two teams, is quite satisfactory, and the strength of their elite subordinates is not very strong.

However, since Li Wei, who has advanced to a model-level mage, and Alduin, who can temporarily transform into a half-dragon, are in charge, the overall combat effectiveness is still very good.

As for the difficulty, to be on the safe side, he asked everyone to choose normal difficulty.

Mikaela said last time that when she was playing on a difficult difficulty, the opponent's leader was a level 14 undead death knight riding a bone dragon.

If he faced him head-on on the outside battlefield, with his current strength, it is entirely possible to defeat the opponent.

But in the dungeon, only 200 people can enter at a time, and the difficulty has suddenly increased many times.

Even if he fights against the opponent forcefully, he doesn't know how much he will lose in the end.

More importantly, after reading the materials that Mikaela gave him, which recorded the past battles of Black Castle, he found that the death knight sounded very powerful, but in so many battles, his strength I'm afraid I can't even make it into the top 30.

Fort Black has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and there should not be too many forces interested in it.

What Li Wei paid special attention to was that before the high elves, this place had been occupied by the undead for the longest time, so there were also the most Necromancers and Liches in the past records.

Although most of the undead units are weak and rely on a few limited units such as terrifying knights and vampires to support the scene, they have been besieged by lawful and kind races for so many years, but they still have not been completely wiped out. Obviously, they are still somewhat special reason.

On the one hand, there are some evil gods behind them, and on the other hand, it is easy to replenish troops. On the other hand, it is also because their heroes and legal units are relatively strong, especially the lethality against the living is quite amazing.

In case he is unlucky sometime and encounters a powerful lich, it is not impossible for the entire army to be wiped out, it is better to be safe.

And according to past experience, the net income of a normal difficulty dungeon will fluctuate to a certain extent depending on the enemy's race, but basically there will be a harvest of 30-40 gold coins.

Three teams, a total of nine times, if they can get through smoothly, roughly speaking, at least they can get about 300 gold coins in spoils, and a large number of subordinates will be advanced or upgraded because of this, which is already very good.

Zhou Jiazhai said last time that if Zhou Miyin can be promoted to a hero unit, they may increase their investment in their own side. After getting this money, they will surely be able to recruit many troops.

Originally, the Yuyongs performed well in many battles by virtue of their innate skills, but now with the gradual increase in the bonuses of Li Wei's military ranks and other aspects, the silver guards have become more and more hard, and they are somewhat dwarfed up.

In the final analysis, the Yuyong Halberd Soldiers are only Tier 3 units after all, and now they can no longer keep up with the increase in combat intensity, and it is time to update them.

After the teams were divided, everyone had no objections, and Li Wei gave some instructions on the details.

In case of really bad luck, there is no need to fight recklessly if a strong enemy appears among the enemies. You can take the initiative to admit defeat and give up, so as to avoid heavy losses to the troops, and then temporarily wait for his new arrangement at the entrance of the instance.

After everything was ready, Li Wei was also the first to enter the dungeon, and then he successfully opened it twice in a row.

Originally, the strength of his army was much stronger than last time, and with the information provided by Mikaela, it was even more powerful.

Similarly, the progress of the other two teams is also very smooth, because Li Wei can see through the system panel that the strength of many subordinates has improved to a certain extent.

Just when Li Wei thought everything was going well, but when he entered the dungeon for the third time, before he could see who his allies and enemies were this time, the system popped up a brand new dungeon that he had never encountered before. hint.

"Due to the instability and uncertainty of the space, a team from the bottomless abyss entered the battlefield randomly and chose to join your enemy's camp. Killing the opponent will have a chance to get extra rewards."

Upon seeing this prompt, Li Wei's expression became slightly serious.

He still remembered that the system had reminded him at the beginning that the space rift at the Black Castle was bidirectional, and the demons or God's Chosen Heroes on the other side of the bottomless abyss could also enter.

Moreover, there is a very low chance that enemies will enter randomly, but no one has mentioned the relevant information before, so he has not considered it for the time being, but he did not expect to be bumped into by him abruptly this time !
