Long Live the Call of Heroes

About an hour later, when the system reminded them that they had won another hearty victory, Li Wei was completely relieved when he saw that the title of Mayor of Thorn Town appeared in his status bar.

Perhaps it was because the Church of Cyric and Mask had already teamed up to clean up other large and small forces here when they occupied Thorn Town, and destroyed many buildings, so their encirclement and suppression operations were much easier this time.

The strength of the Cyric Church could not withstand their attacks at all. The thieves and assassins of the Mask Church who were good at escaping, because there were not many places to hide, were quickly killed, and most of them were killed. A sewer slipped away.

After all the calculations, the duration of this battle was much less than the time they spent waiting in the forest.

As a price, Cyric's prestige became a deadly enemy, and Mask's side fell to hatred. Next, we must be careful not only of them in the wild, but also of those thieves and assassins in the city.

It is a little regretful that this time his title of mayor only brought him 1 point of fame, but no more leadership bonus.

Just like before, among the deputy mayor of Swineherd Town, the mayor of Ostak City, and the mayor of Thorn Town, he can only choose one at a time to give him a leadership bonus.

The title of Deputy Mayor of Swineherd Town was given to him by Sobek, so he can't control it, but the other two territories are his own, so he can grant the title to others.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Wei handed over the title of Mayor of Thorn Town to Donna. In the battle system of the high elves, archers can be said to run from beginning to end, occupying a very important position.

Now, her leadership power has increased by 500 at once, and she can command more than a hundred more subordinates.

In addition, probably due to the impact of frequent wars before, the various buildings in Thorn Town are also worse than those in Ostark City.

Not counting basic buildings such as taverns, blacksmith shops and markets, there are six main god-given buildings, namely swordsman, archer, spearman, halberdman, black-hearted musketeer (tier 3) and ruthless swordsman (4th order).

The first two types are not of high value, just some very common cannon fodder. The last two types have unusual names, but in fact, their attributes are not much different from those of similar units, and their output is not high.

Fortunately, it is still practical, and it is very practical for defending the city.

Then there is a secret camp, which can produce a certain number of thieves, spies, and assassins every week. Levi thinks that this may be built by the Mask Church, but now it is cheaper for him.

Although their frontal combat effectiveness is very good, and the strongest assassin is only a third-level crispy skin, but in reality it will be very practical.

Recently, Li Wei has used the monitoring of the archon as the mainstay, supplemented by cavalry such as huntresses, to carry out related reconnaissance tasks.

The success rate of their missions is very high, but one is a flying unit and the other is a cavalry. When encountering some enemies with higher perception and better eyesight, it is inevitable that they will be detected in advance by the opponent.

If it is a special terrain such as a forest or a secret room, the effect they can play will be greatly reduced.

But now with the addition of these walking spies, this relatively weak link will also be completed.

In terms of resources, Thorn Town has a small element channel (earth) / (water). Although the daily output is only 5 units, but because the quality is not bad, it can also be worth a little money.

After that, the name of Thorn City came from, and the garden of thorns that can produce those two special thorns.

Levi also probably figured out why they produced so many.

Because it is different from the cycle of other ordinary god-given buildings, they are not based on weeks, but have production every day, and the production is not fixed.

If one can use special water sources and soils that contain magical energy, such as those two element spars, it is not impossible for them to produce hundreds of them every day, and there is even a very low chance of appearing higher than the third level. Variation arms.

If there is no one to take care of them, or if there is no water source, they may not even produce half of them. This is the first time Li Wei has encountered this kind of god-given building.

At the same time, there is a special requirement, that is, no matter daily care, recruitment, battle, or special cultivation, a certain number of druids are required.

Otherwise, they would be like before, they were almost trampled to pieces by the troops of both sides in the battle, but they just used their hard thorns to bite their feet a little bit, and they didn't show any activity or aggression at all. .

All in all, this is a special building with relatively large input and output, and it should be mainly the lords of various towns and villages, not ordinary adventurers.

In addition to the temples of the two evil gods, Cyric and Mask, which were ordered to be demolished by Li Wei, they also found a small temple in the city.

Li Wei was a little strange at first, and mistakenly thought that the other party hugged Cyric's thigh to survive the disaster.

Because the other temples in the city, no matter good or evil, were basically wiped out by the Church of Cyric, and the Church of Cyric would not care about other people's face.

But soon he realized that he was wrong. It wasn't that Cyric taught each other to take care of each other, but that they couldn't provoke each other at all. It was a temple belonging to the girl of disaster, Beshaba!

Even if Cyric is full of enemies, he will never dare to provoke Lady Lucky and Misfortune, a pair of sisters who love and kill each other.

Similarly, other powerful evil gods, such as the black king-Bane, the storm god-Talos, etc., are absolutely unwilling to provoke them, and even keep trying to please them.

Because things related to luck are very mysterious, even the gods cannot fully control them.

Really angered the girl of misfortune, she will reduce your luck to the extreme, and the legendary mage may also die because of the backlash of magic when releasing the first-level magic. Beating a kobold on the roadside may attract a head The dragon launches a crazy attack on you.

If you offend the lucky girl, her threat is relatively small. She will mainly strengthen your enemy's luck crazily and let him take a critical strike.

It is also because of this that although the churches of these two goddesses are small in number and chaotic, their power is extremely powerful.

You don't have to believe in them, but you will definitely hear about them, and you will never want to offend them.

Li Wei felt that it was necessary for him to visit the other party later, but he dared not say too much, as long as he could recruit a mid-level and high-level priest, the believers of Cyric and Mask would definitely be very afraid if they wanted to trouble them. , because they will also be very afraid of hurting that priest in battle.

As for the warehouse and armory, there are only the most basic materials such as wood and stone, and equipment such as long spears, great swords, bows and armors of the highest green quality.

In the current view of Levi, they can only be regarded as strategic materials, not valuable equipment.

The total amount of gold coins is less than 3000, and as for consumables such as other magic items and magic potions, they are even less.

It seems that the Church of Cyric may have completely exhausted all the reserves here in order to prepare for this war.

On the contrary, the members of the Church of Cyric who participated in the battle more or less contributed some spoils, including dozens of pieces of blue quality equipment, which can give the subordinates a small update.

What satisfied Li Wei the most was the two pieces of equipment contributed by the priest-Hatum.

One is a bracelet of protection, which comes with 3th-level magic-secondary spell invalidation enchantment three times a day, and each replenishment requires 4 magic points.

It seems to be a very practical blue equipment, but unfortunately it is too demanding to use, level 10 + 15 points of intelligence, so it can only be used by Li Wei at present.

Then there is a health talisman. For people whose constitution is not higher than 10, it can provide 2 points of constitution and 40 life upper limit, otherwise the halving will take effect.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Wei handed it to Donna. Apart from himself, only in her hands can it have the greatest effect.

Then Li Wei took another look at the combat performance of his subordinates.

Needless to say, Cindy and Donna, one is stronger than the other. The other Xiaotian and the supervisors have also gradually mastered the essentials of commanding the troops, and their strength on the battlefield is also stronger than before.

He focuses mainly on the new recruits.

Not to mention, the performance of the blood elves is also very good. Several mages among them can use small-scale fire magic, so they can deal a lot of damage in this kind of battle.

Spellbreakers also benefit from being able to cast longer range than Huntresses due to their mid-range attacks.

But what surprised him the most was Elling-Qiufeng. Although he was slightly inferior to ordinary blood elf mages, he was already pretty good as a half-baked guy who knew everything.

So he asked a little bit about how he did it.

Only then did he learn that besides using bows and arrows, the opponent used the charm technique the most.

Coupled with Eladrin's racial talent-charming existence, he is almost invincible when dealing with the enemy's low-level defenders. His own side created an opportunity, so the system also gave him a high evaluation.

Li Wei felt that Qiufeng could continue this fighting strategy, because they would definitely continue to have conflicts with the Church of Cyric in the future, and there were not a few low-level cannon fodder in it.

Those guys from the Sigma Church are also working hard. They have been bullied by the other party more than once before, and today just happened to take revenge.

It's a pity that most of their strength is not very good. Although they are in an advantage in this battle, they still have casualties, which means that the priest guards performed well.

Then looking down, after pausing on a certain name, Levi thought for a few seconds, then first gathered some intelligence-enhancing equipment, and then handed over the frugal duet-the Summoner's Ring to Bayoru.

As a Hole Elephant, Bayoru's own movement speed is not fast, and his attack methods are extremely frequent. Unless it is a defensive battle, he usually doesn't get much experience.

What he did the most was throwing throwing axes that were powerful but had a short range.

But in this battle, by virtue of his ability to summon celestial companions and the ability to summon summoned objects in chains, he summoned a total of 2 Holly Elephants and 1 Asura, instantly improving his overall combat effectiveness several times.

So Li Wei decided to help him. Anyway, with the battle flag of the Second Heavenly Kingdom Legion in his hand, this ring is far less important to him than before.

And referring to the reason why he initially signed the contract with the Gaidin Celestial Clan and the Yakongs, if Bayoru has a good relationship with his celestial partners, there will definitely be greater benefits in the future.

Many subordinates also upgraded or advanced in this battle, and Alduin also successfully comprehended the unique skills of combat heroes - the personal guard.

Guards, command an elite squad, make it attack +5, defense +5, life +30.

Note: The subordinates who are incorporated into the personal guard do not need to consume any leadership power. The maximum number that can be commanded at the same time is twice the combat level. The personal guard cannot be a hero unit, and the rank cannot exceed 2/1 of the combat level.

Although this enhancement is fixed, and there is still a certain gap between it and the orthodox battle hero, but no matter what, Alduin can really command the troops to fight.

With his current level, he can command more than 20 subordinates no higher than Tier 6 at most. If he can really gather so many Tier 6 troops, then he can be regarded as an extremely sharp knife on the battlefield.

Moreover, Li Wei thinks that his skill has other uses. He can completely hand over all the subordinates who consume the most leadership power to him to command.

In addition, what Li Wei is more interested in is that Elegy did not upgrade in this battle, but she comprehended the roundabout skill by herself during the battle.

Either she is extremely talented, or her profession has some hidden advantages, or both, but no matter what, this is a great thing for my side.

After closing the battle report with great satisfaction, he waved his hand and generously rewarded the three Amazon sisters and Stump according to three times the battle contribution.

And let them choose the equipment they are interested in at will from the remaining loot, and enter the armory for supplies, etc.

He has already won the most valuable trophy in Thorn Town, and the other gold coins and supplies are not worth mentioning.

He has always been adhering to the principle that he eats a lot of meat, but at least he has to drink some soup for those friends who help him.

After they have completely cleaned up and rebuilt Thorn Town, he can also provide the anacondas with some places to settle down.

Since the Amazons are going to travel and take risks on this continent, naturally they can't just have a small outpost in Bitao Village, right?

Everyone was overjoyed for a while, and the anaconda said again and again that it was the first time for them to fight such a fun and rewarding battle.

In the future, unless Li Wei drives them away, they will always follow Li Wei and fight side by side together!
But of course it was impossible for Li Wei to do that, because from the beginning, he was not only for the opponent's combat effectiveness, but for the gods behind the opponent.

Even if the Greek pantheon is very bad, even the little-known god of fauns, Paine, is a demigod. How can it be impossible for other gods to be worse than him?
Larue is also a demigod, but she casually gave Donna some benefits and made her a Silver Maiden.

Even if it is a demigod, there is still an insurmountable gap between them and ordinary people. This is the difference in the essence of life.

Originally, he wanted to get in touch with Apollo, the god of light, through Donna. After all, she was taught a skill by the other party.

It's a pity that the plan didn't change quickly. There are no temples or churches in the vicinity of the Greek pantheon. He couldn't make any connections. It happened that he met Lurui again yesterday. Considering that the sooner he changed his job, the better it would be for Donna, he agreed instead. Larry meant it.

But this does not mean that he has given up the opportunity to develop relationships with the Greek gods. In other words, after Donna has successfully changed jobs, the anacondas have become more important, and he naturally has more reasons to treat them better.

Shu stump was also very happy. In this battle, he actually took a little risk at the beginning, and then basically followed the others to play soy sauce.

But brother Li Wei is still so generous and treats him so well, it seems that he really can only sell his old sister to him in return!

After distributing the loot, Li Wei and the others didn't rest there, or they might face more powerful enemies next, so they couldn't rest now.

So Li Wei quickly issued a series of orders:
First of all, it is natural to build temples for the two goddesses, Moon Bow and Lilith. The other party develops faith, and he uses the other party's power, but he doesn't know how effective the elf god's mission is among humans.

Then build a portal for the celestial creatures, and then send a message to the lotus, so that the Red Brotherhood will also send people to further strengthen the defense here.

Mikaela also sent a message, but whether she will come or not is still unpredictable.

Then let the three Amazon sisters help to guard around Thorn Town, and jointly monitor the archons to pay close attention to the direction of Silver Town.

They have been fighting here for so long, but the main force of Cyric Church has not returned. It is because their plan failed and they lost a lot.

Or did they decide to put all their eggs in one basket and capture Baiyin Town and Backwater Town with all their strength?
The two completely different situations will determine their next approach and attitude towards the Church of Cyric.

Tree stump took the dwarves and the local residents who had surrendered, and stepped up to repair the damaged city walls and arrow towers.

They were pretty cool during sieges, but it's not particularly difficult to repair now, most dwarves are good at mining, forging and building.

Donna commanded the archers and sky slayers to set up their defenses. Now that there is not a single sentry tower left, and there is another big hole in the city wall, it will be too much trouble for them for the time being.

Luna continued to carefully search the hidden corners of Thorn Town, paying special attention to sewers and similar places.

Because Mask's believers escaped from this kind of place before, in order to prevent them from going back and making trouble again, Luna has to work a little bit harder and carefully investigate all hidden dangers.

Li Wei even felt that it might be possible to set up a special team in the future to guard against enemies who might use similar means to make trouble.

You must know that those who are good at drilling sewers are not only thieves, but also Skaven and so on.

It is said that in some human kingdoms, the underground Skaven can even rely solely on stealing and picking up garbage to support small tribes.

Then one day they are full of food and drink, and after they have accumulated enough strength, or when simply picking up trash is not enough to meet their needs, they may take the initiative to attack children and the weak in the town, even to launch a full-scale attack.

There are not one or two towns and villages that were occupied and destroyed because of this in history. Even now, this kind of thing has a special name-the underground threat of the Skaven.

Although there are no traces of ratmen here yet, Li Wei feels that it is necessary to plan ahead, because once this kind of thing really happens, even if they succeed in killing each other in the end, there will definitely be some losses.

After everyone finished their tasks, Li Wei called Janet and Zhou Miyin over, because he was going to give them a very important task.

In fact, even if they didn't speak, as the old subordinates who followed Li Wei, the two of them looked at each other and roughly understood what he was going to say.

Because everyone else was assigned various tasks, only the two of them were temporarily free.

It's just that the former is slightly excited, while the latter is more unwilling.

After a glance, Li Wei could see the mood of the two of them, but he didn't intend to change his mind, because this was the most reasonable arrangement for himself at present.

"It seems that you probably know it too. I want you to stay and take charge of defending Thorn Town temporarily. If you have any ideas, you can tell them."

Janet was the first to respond: "My lord, I have no objection, I will definitely take care of those thorns and that garden!"

Li Wei can naturally understand why she is so active and excited.

Druids like to deal with plants and animals, and the beemen themselves are not a warlike race.

Janet has always followed her around the world, at first because of obedience to orders, and later because of gratitude, and she also liked the time when she fought side by side with Donna and Cindy.

But from the beginning to the end, it wasn't that she really liked fighting and killing so much.

Now it just so happens that Thorn Town needs people to be stationed here, and druids are needed to take care of the Thorn Garden and the like, which perfectly fits her wish.

First, he encouraged Janet a few words, after a moment of pondering, Li Wei spoke again: "Janet, I will not let you undertake such a difficult task alone, I will keep most of the druids."

"And if possible, I will try to gather all nearby believers who belong to the goddess Lurue."

He had chatted with the Lurue believers in the small garden before, and there were not only a few of them nearby, there were dozens of them wandering in the surrounding forests, trying to deal with other intelligent creatures and recruit more for their goddess. believers, and of course those unicorns are also among the targets.

Although Lurui herself was a bit of a mess, her followers were working hard, but because there were not many people and their strength was not strong, the effect was very limited.

But now that Li Wei has occupied Thorn Town, it is reasonable to help take care of the Thorn Garden at the cost of letting them preach freely?
If the enemy comes again next time, in order to protect their authority to preach, it is reasonable for them to help fight, right?
The same applies to the Temple of Sigmar, they are good alignment, just used to resist Cyric Church.

Well, I hope they won't be so brainless, and can take advantage of the opportunity of the melee in Baiyin Town to escape there first. After all, only living can have a future.

Thinking of this, Li Wei sent another letter to a supervisor Yakong, asking Simon to lead the cavalry to march in the direction of Baiyin Town. If the other party can really escape, he will take over the other party as soon as possible.

Then Zhou Miyin also said with a resolute expression: "My lord, I will also protect Thorn Town well."

Li Wei patted him on the shoulder. He knew that the other party must have a lot of resentment, but there was nothing he could do. The position of the Yuyongs in the team was really getting more and more embarrassing now.

Even if Zhou Mi got new power from the Zhou family village because of his trip, it was still not enough to make up for this gap. In addition to Li Wei's bonus to the high elves, it was also because the two types of arms were actually different in nature.

The Silver Guards are shield spearmen with magic resistance ability, which is a rare unit, while the Yuyongs have no shields and no magic resistance, and they are common units that can be seen almost everywhere in the Cathay Dynasty.

When facing ordinary enemies before, there might not be much difference, but when the demon chaos broke out, facing the demons that generally have fire attack, the difference was instantly highlighted.

Now that there are more ranged units such as archers and musketeers among the enemies they encounter, as well as legal units such as mages, priests or shamans, the gap is even greater.

However, Zhou Miyin himself is still different. He was able to step up from a Tier 1 elite spearman to the present step by step. Of course, part of it is because of Li Wei's intentional care, but it is undoubtedly a fact that he is very good.

So Li Wei didn't say anything dead, but said that he would temporarily entrust this task to him. If they recruited other heroes who are more suitable for defending the city while he is in charge of the defense, he would welcome him back to the team.

Now Zhou Miyin was completely relieved, and happily followed Li Wei's mission to carry out patrols and guards.

As long as there is hope, he will do his best to work towards the goal!
