Long Live the Call of Heroes

Sure enough, within two hours, Virginia hurried over.

"Li Wei, the scouts have found that a large number of undead are approaching, the number may be three or four thousand!"

Li Wei, who was practicing the magic constant technique in the room, couldn't help temporarily stopping the movement of his hands when he heard the words.

He already has both the Flying technique and the Specialty-Creating Magical Oddities, and now he can actually try to make some flying brooms or flying magic carpets.

But when they are made, not only can they not be disturbed, they often need to last for several hours.

Once stopped halfway, there is a great chance that all previous efforts will be wasted.

So he didn't try it now, but planned to concentrate on research after finishing the next thing and returning to the Mage Tower.

Just now, he just cast 2nd-level magic-activated weapons on ordinary knives and guns, and combined with the magic constant technique to create some lowest-level puppet creations, which can be regarded as a slight improvement in proficiency.

Now it seems that I did the right thing, otherwise I would have wasted a lot of time and materials for such an interruption.

The undead didn't disappoint him, nor did he wait for them for hours.

After waving his hands to put away the things, Li Wei immediately issued a warning to his subordinates, and then asked: "How many vampires does the other party have? Is there any air force such as bloodthirsty ghosts?"

Whether there is an air force is a very critical issue for Donna and the others, because it will determine their fighting style.

"There are about five or six hundred ordinary vampires, followed by more than two thousand grave guards, and hundreds of black knights and dark werewolves each."

"I haven't found the air force yet, but I'm afraid there are bloodthirsty bat wolves among them."

Virginia responded quickly, and there was even fear in her voice that she hadn't noticed yet.

She originally thought that the undead would not dare to offend the temple of the goddess, but now it seems that she underestimated the other party's boldness. Not only did the other party dare to come, but there is even a high possibility of breaking through here!
Hearing these unfavorable news, Li Wei also frowned slightly. The opponent really allocated so many troops, and it really was a stingy female vampire.

He confirmed again: "Bloodthirsty bat wolf? How many are there?"

Deep in the heart of every vampire lies a predatory nature, which, coupled with a bloodthirsty desire, drives them to drink the blood of their enemies.

This is the price they pay for their strength, it is their curse, and it is their weakness that should be overcome.

But if one day, this valve is opened and no longer closed, they will start to be driven by the bloodthirsty impulse, sucking blood and devouring flesh and blood without any scruples.

Although their strength can be greatly increased in a short period of time, their wisdom and magic ability will be greatly weakened.

Their appearance will also be transformed into a brutal giant beast, into a monster running like a wolf on all fours - the bloodthirsty bat wolf.

Like the bloodthirsty sky ghosts, they are also the product of the wrong evolution of vampires.

But sometimes, being wrong doesn't mean being weak.

The Bloodthirsty Sky Ghost is a Tier 5 unit, while the Bloodthirsty Bat Wolf is simply Tier 6, the same level as the Bone Dragon.

Although their wings didn't grow with their body size, but degenerated to the back of their elbows, making them completely unable to carry them in flight, they still used them to glide or jump quite quickly.

If it is attacking an ordinary small town, when a bloodthirsty bat wolf leaps onto the city wall, it often means the beginning of a massacre.

Similarly, this also slightly solved some of Li Wei's previous doubts.

Those female vampires probably didn't personally charm all the dark werewolves, they just controlled them in disguise by controlling the bloodthirsty bat wolves.

Those werewolves worshiped strength, and they even worshiped powerful kin. Those bloodthirsty bat wolves did look like powerful werewolves in appearance, and they usually had long hair all over their bodies, except that they had mutated little wings on their elbows.

"The rangers found close to 20 bloodthirsty bat wolves, but it is not ruled out that there are more."

Li Wei nodded slightly. This number is acceptable. After all, they still occupy a favorable terrain, and the opponent's most powerful charging ability can't play any role.

However, should Donna take off with the Sky Slayer?

After careful consideration, Li Wei finally gave up the idea.

Now that the other air force of the other party has not been found, it does not mean that it must not exist, and it is really not a good idea to engage in air combat with vampires in the dark.

So while notifying his subordinates to prepare for the battle, he used various summoning magics. At the same time, Li Wei also asked Virginia to continue to strengthen the illusion magic.

If one side wins the battle in the end but loses the Sky Slayers, it will still be a blood loss.

Even if their prices are not cheap, since every Skyslayer has to be transported from Ulthuan Island, the homeland of the high elves, the number is really not much.

Of course, he couldn't completely rely on the illusion, and the guards would also bring some celestial creatures and the tigress to defend at the closest position to the Sky Slayer.

Once the illusion fails, or some other unexpected situation occurs, they will do their best to defend.

The only advantage is that those high platforms are at the back of the temple, and there is still some distance away.

Under normal circumstances, even if the vampires surrounded the entire temple, they wouldn't be able to run that far.

As for Luna and the huntresses who are still hiding in the forest, don't move out for now. When the battle changes, maybe they can give each other an unexpected surprise.

Virginia naturally agreed, because she was still a little afraid of Li Wei and the others running away. With him, a powerful mage, it was not impossible.

And after losing their support, the temple may be turned into ruins after tonight, and now she must of course satisfy all his requirements as much as possible.

"Oh, by the way, does the temple have a no-fly barrier?"

Virginia shook her head: "Sorry, no."

There are only two enemies of the Goddess, the first being her powerful and evil sister - the Night Goddess - Shar.

This goddess who made up her mind and then acted would be fine if she didn't make a move, and if she made a move, she would kill people directly. It doesn't make any difference whether the temple has a no-fly barrier or not.

The second is Malar, who is seriously opposed to the goddess in her attitude towards the Beastmen.

I don't know why, it is theoretically the lord of all beasts, but in fact only those beastmen who walk or run on land will choose to worship or believe in it.

Few of the harpies flying in the sky and the branches of the Beastmen in the sea would worship him.

In this case, there is no need to decorate the temple.

Li Wei nodded, although he was a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do.

If things really got to that point, let Bill and the others take action.

Although the Sky Slayer is not small in size, if dozens of bear-headed envoys work together, they can still be successfully teleported away.

"However, we have already sent an emergency signal to the wood elves friends nearby, and they will definitely come as soon as possible."

This is good news. Although the wood elves are few in number, their average strength has always been relatively strong, especially those treants, who are perfect cannon fodder.

Then she took out two scrolls from the interspatial ring: "Li Wei, this is the treasure of our temple master priest. In order to thank you for escorting us all the way, I hope you can accept it."

Li Wei raised his eyebrows, and he saw at a glance that it was a scroll that recorded magic.

What is this, Virginia's apology?
But no matter what he thought in his heart, he still took it with a smile and expressed his gratitude.

Not to mention, these two spells are indeed very suitable for the current situation.

One is the third-level magic - Moonlight Sword. Once used, he will create a sword-like weapon completely condensed by moonlight out of thin air.

It can be a long sword, a short sword or a thin sword, etc., depending on the size of the body, it will cost him different values ​​of mana.

It can be granted to other people to use. When attacking, it will be regarded as a pure energy weapon of blue quality, so it can ignore most ordinary armor and can attack ghosts and other incorporeal creatures.

The second one is called the Wall of Moonlight, and its effect is similar to that of the Wall of Fire spell. All evil creatures that try to pass through it will be damaged.

The biggest advantage of both of them is that they can both cause extra damage to undead creatures.

The disadvantage is that it can only be used at night or under the cover of magic moonlight, and it has little effect on the good camp.

This is what Li Wei has seen, and I don't know how many magics are specifically aimed at the undead.

It can only be said that although the undead have extremely obvious advantages, there may be many things that can restrain them.

Regardless of the alignment of good or evil, almost every god has one or two ways to deal with them.

As a series of sirens echoed inside the temple, everyone soon began to defend at each entrance.

Priests, druids, and the winged snakes that Li Wei summoned all began to cast various auxiliary magic.

At the same time, one after another magic circles also rose up. Affected by them, the casting speed, casting consumption, magic duration and mana recovery speed of all legal units have changed to varying degrees.

For Li Wei or Cindy, etc., the overall increase in combat power is actually not high, but for those ordinary priests, the effect is quite obvious.

Coupled with the passive aura of the spirit fox envoys, their battery life will be greatly improved.

Then I don't know what kind of power the temple used. In short, the moon in the sky seems to pour a little energy down, like a huge, bell-shaped energy shield, covering the entire temple, and you can tell this at a glance. Can greatly strengthen its defense.

Shudun also began to direct his subordinates to line up and prepare for battle.

The two heroic units behind him began to use rune magic unique to dwarves.

He has also fought side by side with Li Wei for a long time. Although there are occasional twists and turns along the way, basically every time he can gain a lot and lose very little.

Under such circumstances, his subordinates have also grown up rapidly, and there are already two rune blacksmith heroes.

Compared with the magic of humans or elves, there are very, very few types of rune magic for dwarves. There may be a dozen or so in total, but they are all extremely practical.

For example, now, they mainly cast two kinds of range-type magic: oath and steel rune that can improve defense, and hearth and home rune that can greatly increase resistance to fear.

Many high-level monsters, especially those that are larger in size or more ferocious in appearance, often have a great chance of spreading fear or other similar skills.

Undead monsters have a higher chance of this, and they are just prepared in advance.

At this time, the roars of the werewolves in the distance were also approaching, and at the same time, there was the sound of neat steps. It seemed that thousands of undead were marching at the same rhythm.

Being so well-trained made many priests of the temple slightly discolored.

On the contrary, the wood elves still had grim expressions on their faces, and many beastmen who had surrendered to the temple were even more excited about the upcoming battle.

This scene made Li Wei very interesting. He began to have a guess. Perhaps these priests had hardly encountered battles before?
Soon, thousands of undead rushed up the hillside. Thanks to the bright moonlight tonight, Li Wei also really saw those bloodthirsty bat wolves.

Almost at the same time, he immediately understood why Virginia had that expression just now.

Because these guys are ridiculously big, they stand on all fours like gorillas, their forelimbs are extremely developed, their big fists are one meter in diameter, their forearms are more than two meters long, and their height is almost three stories high.

There is no need to jump at all, they can easily reach Donna and the others just by raising their hands.

In their huge open mouths, every tusk pulled out can be used as a short sword.

Such a terrifying giant beast is completely a monster born for war and killing.

That is to say, now they are using the location and magic of the temple, so they can still have a little confidence.

If it was fighting on flat ground, Li Wei seriously doubted that even his own defensive formation would be easily destroyed by it.

Even with his bonus, the attributes of the Silver Guards are far superior to those of the same rank, but it is still difficult to match such an enemy.

Because in many battles, not only the basic attributes such as attack and defense are looked at, but also strength and weight.

When the gap between the two sides is large, they may be easily repelled or knocked into the air. Even if they are full of martial arts, it is difficult to truly display them.

Resist charge and similar skills can improve this aspect to a certain extent, but they cannot completely make up for the fundamental gap after all.

Now it seems that, not counting legal units such as myself and Cindy, the only person who can really fight these big guys more effectively in a frontal battle is Elegy.

She weighs about a hundred pounds, plus weapons and armor, as well as the strengthening of earth elemental gems, it can basically be equivalent to about two tons when subjected to knockback and other effects.

Coupled with her superb martial arts, she should not be knocked into the air by the opponent at will.

But the one who can really maximize the effect of unearthed elemental gems should be Bayolu.

As a Huolai Elephant, he might weigh five to six hundred kilograms under normal body shape, but his strength is much worse than that of Elegy.

Followed by Alduin, as a dragon man, he also weighs several hundred catties.

Unfortunately, limited by his profession, he can only be used as a human shield most of the time. In terms of killing efficiency, he is much worse than Elegy.

When seeing them, even Lucia's expression became a little more cautious: "Li Wei, I have never heard of the vampires of the Lamia family before, and they can create and drive them."

Li Wei nodded slightly: "Me neither, this may be their hidden power."

"Now it seems that there seems to be something very attractive to them in the deep pit of gathering pollution, so that they will not hesitate to expose it and gain an advantage in the next battle."

Lucia frowned a little. In the past thousands of years, they have always looked soft and weak, with the help of charming foreigners.

She couldn't figure it out for a while, what was it that made the other party willing to pay such a high price?
But suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and she remembered the location where the Silver Blood Army had been staying before, the mountains called "Glory of Nagash".

Nagash is considered the true inventor and creator of the vampires of the Overworld.

Nagash created an "Elixir of Life" and gave it to his most loyal lieutenant, counselor, apprentice and underling the Black-Arkhan.

Black-Akhan used the so-called "life elixir" to "rescue" his dying lover, the queen of the Lamia family-Nevreta, making her the original ancestor of vampires.

The queen continued to transform her husband, younger brother, general and priest, etc., a total of eight people, who together formed the first generation of vampires.

The ancestors of the four well-known existing vampire clans, the beast-like Strigel clan, the Jade Blood clan who fell to the Cathay Dynasty, and many other clans are actually acquaintances of the Queen.

This is also one of the reasons why the vampires of the Lamia family have bewitched many people and caused many disasters, but they have not been killed until now.

Apart from the fact that she is really good at hiding, she also has a lot of supporters or guardians.

Once you offend her, it means you will be hunted down by almost all the vampires in the main world.

Of course, that was the very beginning.

After the population of mortal races such as humans, elves, and dwarves increased rapidly, and magic and divine arts became popular, she was also forced to disappear.

The forces of other families are also gradually falling apart, and some ancestors are even killed by humans, and the threat in this regard is greatly reduced.

The Vampire Queen had heard, seen, and even worked with and fought with Nagash back then.

So she would naturally know that after Nagash tried to invade the Sigmar Empire, and was crushed by Sigma, the god of war who had not yet been conferred at the time, and was killed by the Egyptian gods, he left nine scrolls in human skin A mysterious book forged with human blood.

Its name is "Nine Volumes of Nagash".

It records countless knowledge about necromancy and death. They are the supreme classics of vampires, liches, and necromancers, and they are also powerful magic weapons.

Taken out individually, each volume is a treasure of the legendary level, and together it is comparable to a real artifact.

Except for Black-Arkhan who clearly obtained the ninth volume, the other eight volumes have long been lost in the dust of history and are nowhere to be found.

The vampire queen's intentions seemed to be very obvious.

The mountains where the Silver Blood Army stayed were exactly where Nagash stayed before his death.

They drove the Silver Blood Army before, and they almost certainly wanted to find the relics of Nagash, and even the nine scrolls of Nagash.

The reason why it is said to be a certain death is because as a strong man who single-handedly created the entire race of vampires and directly caused the rapid decline of the Egyptian pantheon, he naturally possesses the ability of continuous resurrection.

Now that they are headed to the west with such great fanfare, they are no longer afraid of being detected by the forces along the way. It is obvious that they have enough motivation and confidence again.

They probably thought that once this matter was successful, they would no longer be forced to hide behind the scenes, but would have the right to stand in front of others.

Apart from Dracula's unreliable plan to confer gods, what else can give them this confidence?Of course, it could only be because of the nine volumes of Nagash.

"Li Wei, could it be that one?"

Lucia didn't fully say the other person's name, but just made a mouth shape.

Li Wei nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed possible.

If it is said that a few days ago, he simply had a little similar guess about the many abnormal actions of the silver blood army.

But after he obtained the divinity of the goddess Lilith and learned a lot of knowledge from it, he became more and more suspicious of the reason why the other party stayed in the mountains.

Now that the vampires of the Lamia family appeared so openly, it directly confirmed his conjecture.

It's just that he still doesn't know for the time being whether there is a black-Akhan conspiracy.

Since Nagash's last death, he disappeared with Volume Nine, not even meeting the Vampire Queen.

There are different opinions from the outside world, but according to the information of the goddess Lilith, although Black-Akhan participated in the creation of the race of vampires, not all the ancestors liked him, and he was even killed once by the ancestor of the blood dragon.

The reason is that the reason why he became the lover of the vampire queen was that after he was defeated and captured in a certain war, he hooked up with the queen in prison, and later joined hands with the queen to murder his own husband.

Li Wei can only say that the expensive circle is really chaotic.

Therefore, Black-Akhan would probably be afraid of the undisguised hostility towards him from the ancestor of the blood dragon, and would not reconcile with the vampire queen.

In addition, Goddess Lilith has two other tidbits of news.

First of all, although the black-Akhan became the lover of the vampire queen at the beginning, but at that time he had already become an undead creature-lich, the kind without chickens.

The vampire queen seems to want to get knowledge and power from him, plus one is a queen and the other is a prisoner. The huge difference in identity seems to have brought strange stimulation to the queen, so she finally develops into a relationship with him. Spiritual lover.

However, no one can be sure how sincere and how long this combination of interests can last.

The second lace news is that the vampire queen seems to be a lesbian. She has several wives in the Lamia family.
In this case, if Black-Akhan had a little brain, it seemed that he would not be able to reconcile with her, because the other party probably didn't miss the old relationship at all, and only wanted to kill people and seize treasures.

But no matter what plots Black-Arkhan or the Vampire Queen have, they are all legendary powerhouses.

Coupled with the turmoil of the Beastmen over there, it is almost certain that Malar will be involved, and the battles involved in the pit of gathering pollution will escalate more and more, and he also needs to make some preparations in advance
As the undead gradually approached, at a distance of several hundred meters, they finally stopped slowly, and a proud female voice also sounded.

"Listen to the humans and elves in front, hand over those guys who dare to provoke us, especially that hateful mage, maybe in the name of the Lamia family, we can barely forgive your crime of covering up."

Li Wei felt a little interesting, it has reached this point, and you still want to try to divide yourself?

It is said that the vampires of the Lamia family not only have a beautiful appearance, but also have extraordinary intelligence, so they can better manipulate men of other races.

But now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

Or, did she simply want to show off her power in this way?

But in any case, of course they will not waver in the slightest.

Leaving aside the confrontation between the living and the dead, if Virginia and the others retreated when the opponent's soldiers approached the city, it would be embarrassing to the goddess she believed in.

So Virginia scolded the other party without hesitation: "You despicable vampire, you dare to offend the temple of my god, you should beg for our forgiveness!"

Li Wei also chuckled: "Why don't you stand up first and let us meet, how about it?"

He scanned back and forth several times, but still couldn't find the real body of the other party. Obviously, she might have used some kind of special magic to only transmit her own voice, but hide her location.

The female vampire was obviously not surprised by this, and she didn't mean to talk to Li Wei. Most of the fighting power of the undead needs to be maintained by high-level vampires or necromancers.

If they were the leaders and commanders who were the first to die in battle, most of the low- and mid-level undead who had no intelligence but hatred for the living and killing instincts would actually have to reduce their combat effectiveness by at least a few percent. Not that stupid.

Therefore, the two sides did not speculate, and the undead immediately began to attack aggressively.

Twenty or so bloodthirsty bat wolves roared up to the sky first, and then those werewolves also chose to follow, and for a while, wisps of moonlight, which was almost visible to the naked eye, began to fall from the sky and fall on them.

Their size immediately swelled a bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their strength was obviously strengthened.

Whether it is a vampire or a werewolf, they can use the power of moonlight to strengthen themselves, just like the night elves, or the priests of Su Lun, this time the two sides can be considered as equals.

Under the leadership of the bloodthirsty bat wolf, a large number of beastly enemies took the lead in charging,

Thousands of barren tomb guards followed closely behind, arranged in multiple phalanxes, marching forward together in neat steps.

As the opponent's core force, they have a large number of types with swords and shields, and they will be more restrained from Donna's rain of arrows.

In fact, undead with a little bit of strength will use this configuration, because there is an extreme lack of long-range units. When fighting many enemies, they have to be shot by the opponent for a few rounds, and they will naturally strengthen their defenses in this regard.

So Donna led the archers instead and tried to kill the bloodthirsty bat wolf.

Although they are very strong, many of the Avalons have advanced to level 5, and their strength should not be underestimated.

And faster than her is Li Wei's serial lightning (sacred version).

The Thunder Snake with a thick wrist flew out of his hand, spanned a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, and hit the first barren grave guard.

Then the slightly whitish electric light flickered, and it twisted its body within a few seconds, and jumped fifty or sixty meters straight, affecting dozens of undead people one after another.

This is also the first time that Li Wei has officially used this magic on such a battlefield. How should I put it, he is a little disappointed.

It looks a bit cool, but the damage it actually causes may not be much stronger than the two fireballs.

Even if he used holy power to transform it into a holy magic with higher damage to evil reputation, except for the first target who was instantly killed on the spot, most of the rest were only wounded but not dead.

However, its deterrent power is very strong, because anyone with a little knowledge knows that this is a sixth-level magic, and it has been strengthened in some way.

Therefore, the morale of Virginia and the priests of the temple was boosted for a while.

The priests of the temple also used their power one after another, and dozens of moonlight walls lit up first, blocking the way of the werewolves' charge.

The damage they caused was second to none, but the rays of light they radiated really illuminated a small half of the battlefield, which would be more beneficial to one's side in later battles.

After seeing him appearing in the distance, the female vampire did not immediately provocateurously. Instead, she hid herself among the vampire swordsmen before speaking again.

"You dare to offend the mage of our Lamia family? You will regret it, us"

Before she could finish her sentence, Donna had already let out a coquettish shout, leading Avalon, Skyhawk Marksman and others, and projected the first wave of deadly arrow rain.

Two bloodthirsty bat wolves were shot to death on the spot, and dozens of werewolves affected were killed or injured. This is the most favorable response and counterattack for the undead.

The female vampire was furious immediately, but she didn't dare to say anything for a while, and just backed away more and more.

Although she is also a hero-level unit, she is really inferior to the bloodthirsty bat wolf in terms of health and defense alone. She has never been a vampire who is good at frontal combat.

If the other party can instantly kill them, naturally they can also instantly kill her!
