Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 285
Thanks to the ghost of the death elf, Li Wei and Sun Knight's search for loot later became extremely smooth.

It is a pity that the Haunted Forest has already been abandoned by the undead, and all the valuables have been taken away. The death elves themselves are not strong enough, and they have been squeezed out, so they are naturally powerless to fight. It's something that people don't like.

For example, those miscellaneous soldiers who were killed by Li Wei and the Sun Knight before, and some low-level ones, which can recruit buildings such as skeleton soldiers, zombies, and ghosts.

Sun Knight originally planned to dismantle them all, and then the two of them would share the corresponding resources, but Li Wei felt that he was not in such a hurry.

The black magic sword in his hand has a special effect. Every 7 days, by consuming resources, a certain number of skeletons, zombies, and ghosts of rank 0-2 under his command can be upgraded by 1 rank.

Skeletons and zombies are nothing more than that, and it is difficult to exert much effect in the hands of non-undead, but if the second-level ghosts are raised to third-level, they can barely be used. After all, they can fly, and they are special. Spiritual units.

A few minutes later, looking at a bunch of brand-new Tier 3 ghosts and the Black Demon Sword in his hand, the Sun Knight made a major decision. He must produce enough precious treasures for use in Exchange the Black Magic Sword with Levi!
After cleaning the battlefield, demolishing all the buildings, and happily sorting out the dirt, since the Sun Knight brought the undead troops, he simply didn't bother to enter the town again, so he decided to go back to rest for a while, and then headed straight to the Underdark Region, and went to Glory of Blood to find They will meet again.

Li Wei waited for Mikaela's arrival in the chamber and reported the latest progress to her.

"Herman Gost? The legendary necromancer who controlled the corpses of his brothers to pull carts for him?"

Although Mikaela's tone was very flat, and there was not much expression on her face, Li Wei could still hear her faint disdain.

Then he learned that Herman Gust was originally a horseman, unfortunately encountered a plague, and his whole family died. In order to revive his five brothers, he began to study necromantic magic. He said that if he saw this, he was still a person worthy of sympathy.

Later, by chance, he met a legendary vampire-Manfred von Carstein, got a lot of secrets about necromancy, and gradually grew into a legendary necromancer.

Well, that's right, it has the same surname as the vampires that Li Wei killed before, and it is said that this surname is also the real top-notch family among vampires.

Although they are all vampires, just like elves are distinguished by high elves, wood elves, or wing elves, vampires from different families also have their own specialties.

The Strigger family is the ugliest of the vampires. It is said that this is because their clan used to only drink the blood of the dead in the cemetery, which made their appearance and abilities greatly changed.

Although this makes them despised even among vampires, they still have beast-like strength unmatched by mortals, and they are typical warrior vampires.

The blood dragon family is a military expert. It is said that they only choose the best knights to develop their descendants, so the number is also the least.

The Nicholas family are all professional dark magic masters, good at magic scrubbing.

In the Lamia family, the most beautiful vampire ladies are used to lurking in human society, infiltrating, charming, and even manipulating mortals. They are also the vampire family that cause headaches for many gods and temples with a strong sense of justice.

Because other vampires are either hiding or attacking with real knives and guns. Only the Lamia family likes to provoke internal fights among mortals, and even kill people with knives.

The von Carstein family is known as the king of humans and the undead. They are not only powerful, but also good at governing internal affairs. There have been many kings who ruled the human kingdom in history.

Even now they still occupy the Sylvania region in the east of the Sigmar Empire, and their current Patriarch is Manfred who once taught Gost the power of the undead.

As for Dracula, although his reputation is not small, he has no famous descendants.

Gust may have revived his brother in the beginning, but in the long years, Gust's initial warmth has long since disappeared, and now he is just an evil existence that the living hate and even hate.

The only thing related to his being a mortal is probably his favorite making various corpse vehicles.

It can improve the resistance of the undead to fire and magic within the range, improve their offensive and defensive attributes, and even slowly repair the injuries of all the undead, and even restore the undead who have been broken into bones into skeleton soldiers Wait, many kinds of corpse wagons.

Among the many legendary necromancers, Gust has never been known for powerful lethal magic or curses, and what he is best at is cannon fodder sea tactics.

With the command of necromancers, coupled with various evil magic and multifunctional corpse vehicles, even low-level skeleton soldiers can play a certain role, very restraining those physical barbarians, such as beastmen, Greenskins or most humans without priests and mages.

And when you watch your teammates who were fighting side by side with you a minute ago, turn into a bloody corpse in the blink of an eye, waving weapons to kill you, this also has a great impact on morale.

Over time, as Gost's footprints gradually spread to every corner of the main world, his notoriety increased day by day, and he was wanted by many countries, forces, and temples of the good and lawful camps.

So Gost has become the target of everyone. He may have decided to travel around the world in order to collect magic that can revive his brothers at first, but now it may be more to escape.

There is no way, the legendary necromancer sounds very powerful, but those temples that have stood for thousands of years are all rich in heritage, and he has been on the must-kill list of at least thirty or forty legends.

However, for the high elves who are very good at magic, this is not a big problem. Even if there are extra fire resistance provided by those corpse vehicles, it is impossible for ordinary skeleton soldiers to resist fireball or something.

Probably because of this understanding, Herman Gost never faced the high elves in the past.

Although it has been found out that the haunted forest is related to the other party, considering that the other party has already run away early, Mikaela put this information aside for the time being, and first reported to Princess Belinda to see her attitude.

As for the Silver Blood Army, you can tell just by looking at the name that they are a force headed by vampires. Their sphere of influence is probably located in the northwest of the colony, among a series of mountains called "Glory of Nagash", with some human beings in between. In the small towns, I usually don't have much communication with the high elves.

Although the high elves have some gods of the evil camp, their race is undoubtedly a representative of law and goodness, while the nearby humans are more inclined to evil and chaos, so the colony has always been inconsistent with each other, and they are too lazy to deal with each other , let alone go beyond them to fight against the Silver Blood Army.

And the Silver Blood Army should be regarded as a very low-key and very down-and-out undead in the main world.

They basically never set foot outside the mountains, and races including humans and dwarves have no interest in the worthless barren mountains, which are said to be much barren than the land of green skins.

In addition, there is a strong undead atmosphere in the mountains, which is not suitable for the living to live in, so even though they occupy a lot of territory, they have always been like a little transparent who keeps their own place.

But now it seems that they are not safe, they are all vampires, and they are likely to be involved with Dracula.

After listening to Li Wei, he felt a little weird. If the Silver Blood Army never stepped out of their own territory, then they basically have no ability to recruit or transform new troops. With the rapid development of other races, how can those vampires Isn't it just waiting to die?

Could it be that they are following the elite route?

Or, can they actually get a reliable source of soldiers from other places?For example, the Underdark?

Hearing what Li Wei said, Mikaela's expression changed slightly.

Indeed, if the Silver Blood Army can freely go to the Underdark to carry out hunting activities, then they really don't need to do anything in the surface world. They pretend to be so well-behaved, and they are probably preparing for some big move.

In this way, it may hinder our own future plans.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she hastily opened the interspatial ring, and found a few ancient sheepskin scrolls with a long history.

Li Wei couldn't help but join in the fun, these things seem to be very valuable.

But soon he discovered that it was not a magic book, but some books that recorded history and poetry. Although he was somewhat disappointed, he still read it patiently to learn more background knowledge. It will come in handy.

A few minutes later, Michaela suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, I found it!"

"It is said that among the mountains occupied by the Silver Blood Army, there is a fortress left by the legendary mage Nagash, so the mountains there are called the glory of Nagash!"

Li Wei felt that the name was a little familiar: "Nagash? I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

Mikaela sighed softly: "It is because of him that the gods of the Mulhorand pantheon have weakened to this point, the Tomb Kings have become neither human nor ghost, and their territory has changed from the original The fertile plains have now become endless deserts."

As the pride of the high elves, she seldom looked down on other alien races, but the existence named Nagash was a strong man she had to respect.

With the power of a mortal, he directly changed the fate of the entire country and even the gods, and was even called the most powerful human mage in history. Although their positions are completely different, his knowledge and power are indeed worthy of awe.

Even if thousands of years have passed since his death, who can guarantee that he has no other hidden backhands?
At this time, Li Wei also remembered the relevant information. The Tomb Kings were originally a powerful country comparable to the Cathay Dynasty, but because of an accident, the land began to dry up and a large number of people died. The strength of the gods plummeted.

Even after thousands of years have passed, they have not been able to regain their former glory, and it is conceivable that there should be no chance in the future. After all, they have been working hard to recover, while other races or forces are developing at a high speed .

And the culprit that caused all this was Nagash.

Mikaela sighed again: "More importantly, there are rumors that Nagash, a mortal, once tried to make a potion of longevity, and achieved success in a disguised form, that is, to create a large number of vampires. Some people even think that , he is the true ancestor of vampires in the main world."

Li Wei suddenly realized that the reason why the Silver Blood Army willingly entrenched in the mountains must be for the legacy of Nagash.

It's just that if this is the case, it's really hard to say whether they and Dracula are of the same mind.

If they obtained the power enough to counter Dracula from Nagash's inheritance, if they had a choice, who would find a boss for themselves for no reason?

Even, is it possible for them to want to replace it?

But no matter what, the undead alone has three forces, and the Underdark has become more and more lively recently.

But since Mikaela can find relevant information, the elves should already know this information, right?
They have not taken any action. Is it because they are too lazy to cross the human kingdom to go on an expedition, or is it that it doesn't matter to them even if the other party gets the inheritance of Nagash?
After all, Nagash polluted all the water sources in the Nehekhara area occupied by the Tomb Kings with a magical plague, and then awakened the dead bodies buried in the ground for thousands of years at once, so that the once The glorious kingdom is on the brink of perdition.

But if this trick is used against the elves, the gods will definitely intervene, just like this large-scale invasion of demons.

At that time, the reason why Sobek and his gods failed to react immediately was because they had just fought against the green-skinned gods and were in the post-war dormant period of weakness, which allowed Nagash to succeed.

But among other things, just look at the wisdom and strategy shown by the two goddesses, Lilith and Moonbow. It is absolutely impossible for them to ignore this point. After all, the name of that mountain has the word Nagash.

I don't know if Mikaela thought of this, but she obviously realized the seriousness of the problem, so she first expressed her thanks to Levi, and then used magic to send the latest information to Black Castle immediately.

At the same time, she also told Levi that she will completely destroy the entire haunted forest next, just like the way Levi used, that is flames.

Li Wei nodded, and then he also asked Mikaela about the demon.

Due to the short time, Mikaela received the information that Li Wei wanted to report to her within a short time, so she was unable to scout the entire area, but from her point of view, the threat of the demons was not that great. At least not as good as the demons who occupied Black Castle back then, because the greenskins of the Red Cloud Tribe have also been fighting back with all their might.

Moreover, the strength of the demons who came across the border will be affected to a certain extent. Since the gods had shot at the beginning, the abyss fissure will continue to shrink because the energy supply is cut off, and the strength and number of enemies emerging from it will be affected. , will gradually be limited over time.

It can be said that as long as you grit your teeth and survive the most difficult moments in the early stage, the later the game, the more beneficial it will be for you.

Up to now, mid-level and high-level demons can hardly pass through the chasm of the abyss, and they can only summon strong ones through sacrificial rituals.

If one's own side did not choose to attack the Red Cloud Tribe at this time, basically there would only be two endings.

Either the demons relied on the sacrificial ceremony to win repeated battles and become more and more powerful, and finally like a snowball, they quickly occupied the entire Hongyun tribe.

At that time, coupled with a large number of sacrifices, they may be able to change the abyss rift above the sky from temporary to permanent, and turn the Red Cloud Tribe into another important stronghold for the demon army to set foot in the main world.

Either the demons were powerless, struggling with the help of the sea of ​​cannon fodder, and were finally pushed back by the Red Cloud Tribe.

But no matter which of the above two situations occurs, a group of relatively powerful hero units will inevitably emerge from the victor's side, which is not a good thing for the high elves.

Especially the more than [-] god-chosen heroes who were boiling with beast blood made the aborigines, including Mikaela, vigilant. After all, the god-chosen heroes grew up too fast, and they held such a strong belief in themselves. Obvious hostility.

Therefore, under the joint promotion of many factors, they still chose to send troops when their own strength was not enough.

Now the demons and the greenskins are in a state of mutual damage, and the threat has been greatly reduced. For their own side, it is almost the perfect ending.

After these words, Li Wei felt that he had learned a lot.

He originally had related speculations and opinions, but they were not so complete, mainly because of the lack of intelligence and the fact that he didn't have anyone under his command to discuss with.

It is indeed enough for Donna and Elegy to kill the enemy or be a battlefield commander, but it is too difficult for them to make suggestions and so on.

Originally, Li Wei thought that with the addition of Sally, this situation might change slightly, after all, she is a mage who is good at using her brain.

But the picture of her killing the goblin bear while laughing wildly before has been lingering in his mind, and he has begun to have some doubts about this
"So, what's the next plan?"

"Try your best to keep the two existing towns, and the Broken Bay will be handed over to the sea elves and other god-chosen heroes. After the arrival of Archmage Teclis, everything will change completely!"

After getting such a clear answer, Li Wei knew what choice he should make. First, he went to the front line to see if he could take the opportunity to make some money, and then he could return to Glory of Blood and continue to develop in the Underdark.

If you have spare time, you can go back to Bitao Village to take a look, but the problem there should not be too big.

The Witch Tiva was in charge of taming the beasts, Leonidas was in charge of patrolling, and the Red Brotherhood came to trade regularly.

Thinking of this, he didn't waste any more time, and after replenishing some supplies, he started heading north directly.

However, along the way, there is not much to gain, because the other God's Chosen heroes are not slow to move, especially those who failed to participate in the battle in the haunted town, and launched an attack on the surrounding green leather villages early. attack.

At the same time, Li Wei also confirmed that the defenders of these villages are indeed stronger than usual, and they should be those guys who were driven out of the haunted town by the blood of the beasts.

After advancing for dozens of miles, Li Wei happened to meet Master and the others who were turning back, and they didn't look particularly well.

This immediately made him a little curious. If they won the battle, they definitely didn't have this expression, but if they lost the battle, why didn't they see any losses to their troops?

As soon as Li Wei asked this question, Master immediately vomited bitterness: "Li Wei, you don't know, the gang of Beast Blood Boiling are too hurt, they even voluntarily gave up their village, directly demolished the building and replaced it. resources, and then took the resources and ran away, leaving us with an empty shelf!"

If it is for other God's Chosen heroes, such an empty shelf may also have a little value for development and construction, but he is planning to go to Cathay, and he does not intend to continue to develop here at all. What is the use of occupying an empty village? ah?
Such a bare village is still at the forefront of the battle, even a local tyrant like the Sun Knight would not be willing to buy it!

Even Li Wei's calmness almost couldn't help but lie, how long has it been since the fall of the haunted town, are they too decisive?

No wonder Beast Blood Boiling can accomplish such a big thing, it is indeed very courageous!
And the other party must have a tool that can quickly send messages similar to monitoring Yakong, otherwise how could it be possible to move so fast?
Then he suddenly thought of something, and he quickly asked, "Are all villages like this? How about the green-skinned villagers?"

"Anyway, this is what we saw. At the forefront of the battle with the demons, those villages were all controlled by people with blood boiling, and most of the villagers inside also ran away with them."

Master was indeed very depressed, and rushed over enthusiastically. As a result, except for the first two untidy villages, which gave them a little advantage, the rest of them ran away in vain.

That's why he chose to turn back, because according to his speculation, the whole guild should have made the same decision for the boiling of beast blood, that is, to run away collectively, and then let the demons and elves go to war, and then they will take advantage of the fisherman's profit and find Quasi-chance to make a comeback.

Now he can only send the information back to the haunted town and see how Mikaela will make a decision.

If it is not necessary, he does not want to confront the demon army head-on.

Because they are mainly golems, and others are supplemented. They are good at setting up positions and fighting with real knives and guns on the flat ground.

But there are not a lot of flying units in the demon army. If they encountered a situation like this morning, and thousands of air forces rushed over, they might not be able to escape even if they wanted to.

"Run away with the villagers? Have they found a place to settle?"

Li Wei became more and more puzzled. Not all green skins were capable of fighting. Some ordinary green skins who acted as villagers were not as effective as human militias. They had to work hard to take care of them in the wild.

Moreover, each village must have at least a few hundred villagers, and there are at least a dozen or twenty villages in the north of the haunted town. How big is the settlement to accommodate so many villagers?At least at the town level, right?

It is completely impossible to run from here to the Broken Bay. Not to mention that there are very few entrances to the Underdark as far as the sea is concerned. It depends on the harsh environment of the Underdark. After such a long journey, how can the villagers who successfully arrive in the end be able to get there? One-tenth is not bad, it is a thankless thing.

Could it be that they occupied a certain town in the Underdark?

But if that's the case, why did they take the risk of going to war with the Hongyun tribe and occupy the haunted town?Is it swollen?

Wait, Li Wei suddenly found that his thinking seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding. Taking away those green-skinned villagers does not necessarily mean letting them go to work elsewhere. Their existence has another meaning.

For example, become a soldier of the undead, or, sacrifice to the devil!
When defending Lilith's temple back then, the demon hero, Names, once sent him an official invitation. As long as he agrees, she can transform him and his subordinates into demons, which has been confirmed by the system of.

With the disposition shown by the boiling beast blood, it is not completely impossible for him to turn to the embrace of the devil when he has no choice.

After all, not everyone is as devoted to it as Li Wei, and regards themselves as part of their own race. More people still regard it as a game, and naturally they can do whatever they want!
First it was the goblin bear and the snake man, and now it is possible to hook up with the devil again. If this is the case, then the beast blood boiling is indeed a remarkable character.

It's just a pity, he chose the wrong target this time, he really shouldn't provoke the high elves!

After listening to Li Wei's speculation, Master, Suifeng and the others were a little dazed. If they were to change places, Beast Blood Boiling would really be likely to make such a choice.

Master suddenly felt a toothache: "Li Wei, what should we do now?"

"Beast Blood Boiling has more than 200 god-chosen heroes. Even if they fail miserably in the haunted town, they still have some power. If they join forces with the demons."

I dare not say too much, even if each green belt has 200 troops, that is tens of thousands of troops, even if part of the pressure is dispersed from the Broken Bay, the rest cannot be resisted by the existing forces of the haunted town, even with the addition of Mikaela couldn't handle it either, let alone a demon who was almost certain to take advantage of it.

"Don't worry, the inside of the beast's blood boil is not monolithic. It is impossible for everyone to become demons, and they probably don't know that the good days of demons are coming to an end."

I knew through Mikaela and the others that Teclis was coming to close the abyss rift, but the beast's blood was boiling, but I never knew that the seemingly powerful allies they found could not last for a few days.

Without the continuous reinforcements from the abyss rift, although the demons' sacrifice ceremony was terrible, but with the purification circle, it could not play much role.

Even if Illidan had just become a god and was at the most vulnerable stage of the gods, he couldn't help him again, and even if Teclis might have to deal with the old black dragon, he still had no time to be distracted.

But with the help of these god-chosen heroes, it will only be a matter of time before all those demons are killed.

Seeing Li Wei's appearance of holding the wisdom beads, Master knew that the other party must have learned some secret information through other special channels, and most of them were from Mikaela.

Thinking about Mikaela's business-like indifference when she treated him, it was really infuriating.

But Li Wei is a mage, so his charm value should not be high?
Could it be that Mikaela only looks at the face, not the attributes?Is being handsome a privilege?

"Okay, so from your point of view, what should we do next?"

"Send someone to tell Mikaela first, and then we will divide into three groups, and go to the dark area with the wind to check if there are any green skins. Master, you go straight to the lair where the blood is boiling, and I go to the front line against the demons." .”

"If it is not necessary, there is no need to fight. We only need to confirm the whereabouts of those green-skinned villagers and the attitude of the demons towards the green-skinned people, and we can roughly sort out the ins and outs of the whole thing."

Although it was a bit of a waste of time to go back again, Master and the others were very excited this time, because with a definite goal, no matter what information they finally got, they would not make the trip in vain.

Li Wei rested on the spot for a while, and then considered whether to send a large force, or to set off with the cavalry himself.

The main reason is that there are many flying units and long-range units in the demon army.

Magog and Gog and the like, Donna can take advantage of the advantage in range to kill the opponent first, but the two flying units of Quasai and Iron Cavalry, one has a large number and the other is stronger, are not so easy to deal with of.

Moreover, recently there have been some flying demons called Fury Demons on the battlefield, which use sharp claws as attack weapons, and violently output flying demons. This can be regarded as further improving the air force of the demons, and the demon army has become even more difficult to deal with.

It's not because of the absolute strength of the angry monsters. Most of them are only 2nd and 3rd tiers, and almost none of them are 4th tiers.

But the key is that their attributes are all focused on strength and agility. They are extremely fast and have high attack power. Unless they can be killed immediately, once the opponent rushes into a long-range position, no matter whether they win or lose, they will suffer some battle damage. Appear.

The Sky Slayer airship can fly the Harpy's kite, but it can't use the same method to deal with the fury monsters whose speed is several times faster.

But before he could make a real decision, the inspector Yakong had already issued a warning to him, and the demons came to his door, and there were quite a few of them, almost close to a thousand.

Li Wei couldn't help raising his eyebrows, it seemed that he didn't need to rush to the front line to confirm it himself.

The demons have crossed the villages abandoned by the green-skinned God's Chosen heroes, and have come all the way south to here, and their purpose is self-evident!

He immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle. At the same time, he and Cindy also took off into the air, preparing to weaken a wave of enemy air force first. Otherwise, they would not be able to hold out for a few seconds to monitor the strength of the Asian air forces.

As for Sally, forget it. Although she has a flying magic carpet, she has experimented a few times on the way. With her current strength, it is still a little bit reluctant to drive it.

Its movement speed can catch up with ordinary mounts, but it is more difficult for her to do complex movements such as rising and falling, and even braking or turning. It is not impossible to do it, and it will take a little more time.

It doesn't seem like much, but compared to the angry demon born with wings, this time will be magnified countless times.

What's more, she is using fire magic, so it's better not to feel uncomfortable in front of the devil.
