Long Live the Call of Heroes

Without waiting for the other party to reply, she continued to say to herself: "But that's right, when I saw the vampire fighting side by side with the more humble rat people, I should know how cowardly he is."

Ratmen have always been ranked alongside goblins and kobolds. Their biggest feature is their low combat effectiveness, and they reproduce extremely fast and in large numbers, almost inexhaustible.

They have always given people the impression that they are the weak among the weak, and those who work with the Ratman will naturally not be the strong.

Although Li Wei reminded her and after today's battle, Kalida's impression of the Ratman will be fundamentally reversed, but this will not prevent her from using it to anger the vampires.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, a middle-aged vampire with much more gorgeous clothes finally couldn't help but flew out of it.

"Kalida, don't bully people too much, so what if you are a legend?"

"As long as I run away with all my heart, can you still fly up and catch me?"

Khalida chuckled: "Oh, is this your greatest wish?"

The people next to them who heard their conversation were somewhat speechless for a while.

This guy named Edward, if nothing else, should be the leader of the Silver Blood Army, and has the status of earl among the vampires.

He has been entrenched here for many years, and he can be regarded as a party figure, but in the end, this is actually his success?
Edward snorted twice, and didn't say any more nonsense, just threw a few magic spells casually, as if he wanted to vent his anger.

However, the power of those spells may not be very great, but the sound and light effects are quite extraordinary, directly covering a considerable area of ​​sight.

Before anyone had time to disperse, several pitch-black figures jumped out from the ground deftly and headed straight for Khaleda.

Although they couldn't see their specific appearances clearly, the short blades that shone with dazzling green light almost showed their identities.

In the main world, only the alchemy masters of Cathay, a very small number of death mages, and ratmen can process and utilize dimension stones.

The former two use the energy of the Dimension Stone, and only the Ratman will use the Dimension Stone as a weapon!

There were also several arrows of the same color that flew out from an unknown corner and went straight to Khalida.

At the critical moment, Edward also widened his eyes, staring closely at the development of the situation below.

According to the information he has received, Khalida seems to be in a weak state at present.

If this assassination is successful, perhaps they will not only be confined to this barren mountain, but more likely to invade south.

They don't care too much about Khalida's treasures. For vampires, those don't have much meaning.

But the countless bones and souls sleeping beneath the city of Laimia were exactly what they dreamed of.

The Tomb Kings use those things to make broken skeletons and tomb guards, which is really a great waste. If they can be obtained by them, they can do more!
But before he could imagine a bright future, several rays of light flashed at the same time, followed by the whispers of a man and a woman.

"Holy glacier!"

"Rainbow Dharma Eye!"

First, an ice wall full of sacred aura blocked the Ratman assassin, and then colorful energy sprayed out.

Skaven assassins who only emphasize agility and strength, but their physique is not enough, can't be exempted from the multiple effects that come with it.

One was petrified on the spot, and the other was first burned and cracked by lightning, then soaked in acid, and finally frozen.

As for the last one, it seems to be a little lucky, because it was just poisoned.

But that was just an illusion, because in the next moment, Li Wei's magic pet, Xiao Qi, had already released a steel restraint on it.

After fighting with it for so long, it has also successfully reached level 9.

Although based on the particularity of the mage's magic pet, its health and defense have not increased at all, so any Tier 1 unit can easily kill it.

Therefore, most of the time now, Li Wei only infuses it with some summoning magic in advance, so that it can hide far behind.

But every loss must be gained, and when necessary, it can also play an unexpected effect, such as now!

Then several groups of shadows that were darker than the Ratmen floated out from a certain corner.

With just a light touch, all the movements of the rat-man assassins in trouble, whether it was running, jumping, or struggling, stopped completely in an instant.

Because they have lost their lives permanently.

Although after getting it, Li Wei hardly used it a few times, and usually didn't see them appear at all.

But the giant shadow elements are still summoned creatures up to level 6. The most important thing is that they can change their body shape at will, so they are really very hidden!

There are even a few Shadow Elements, Javelins, and Wind Elements, etc., who have already touched the arrow in the direction it came from.

Because the body structure is very different from that of humans, the Ratmen are not good at using bows or crossbows. They prefer simple and practical slings.

But now there is a Ratman using it as a weapon. It is obviously not a trick, and it may be able to gain some unexpected gains.

Khalida, who was planning to make a move, couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw this, but she didn't stop at all, and directly launched a volley stab at Edward with her backhand.

Following her movements, several snake-shaped phantoms came out of the body and turned into sharp arrows, knocking out half of Edward's body and wings on the spot.

Without the assistance of magic or props, she can't fly, but that doesn't mean she can't air-to-air!
Caught off guard, Edward fell directly to the ground, but the severe pain on his body was far inferior to the shock in his heart.

He looked at Khalida in disbelief: "Why? You can attack in the air, but you have never used it on me before?"

Khalida chuckled, and the Herald turned the spear into a giant python, devouring the opponent's other wing completely, and then she answered the opponent's question.

"Because you never had the guts to get so close to me before!"

The enemy wants to target her, so why can't she use her body as bait?
Although based on the queen's glory and majesty, she originally disdained to use this method to win the battle.

But since the enemy took the initiative to come to the door, it would be a waste if she didn't take advantage of it.

Seeing Khaleda's performance, Li Wei roughly understood why Khaleda, the warrior queen known as the best at bows and arrows, didn't carry any bows and arrows with her.

Originally, he mistakenly thought that the opponent was only good at commanding archers to fight, but now it seems that it is more than that.

Her snake-headed spear can also launch long-range shooting like a bow and arrow, and its power is quite terrifying, probably at least a legendary weapon.

"So that's the case, then it doesn't count if I lose."

Before the words fell, Edward's figure quickly degenerated into a pool of blood, and he seemed to be about to run away.

But Khalida didn't make any moves. At this time, the two priests who had been staying behind her and had never participated in the battle from the beginning to the end finally made a move.

I saw several white lights flashing, and two light nets condensed by pure positive energy had appeared out of thin air, not only enveloping Edward, but also forcing him back into human form from a pool of blood.

This is the famous Amintoke's Net in light magic. It does not have any attack power at all, but in the hands of a powerful enough mage, it can exert extremely terrifying effects.

Bondage, immobilization, silence.
In normal times, even if these three effects appear on one magic alone, they are very powerful effects, but now that the three effects are combined into one, it is not only powerful, but terrifying!
It is also a binding magic, it is much stronger than black tentacles or steel restraints, etc.

With despair and surprise on Edward's face, he looked incredulously at the two ancient tomb priests who were still reaching out to maintain the optical network.

"Damn it, you guys actually went to learn light magic? Is it such a rare magic?"

Although thanks to the blessings of the Egyptian gods, these mummies have become extremely special undead. They can even learn and use light magic, but that will also cause certain damage to themselves.

Not even God can completely eliminate this fundamental thing.

But Khalida just chuckled and ignored it.

Physical wounds or spiritual wounds, which one will hurt more?
For others, she can't be sure, but for some special priests who have a deep hatred for Nagash, they would rather endure this pain, and wait until Nagash returns again, so that they can take revenge in person!
Yes, they firmly believe that Nagash will definitely return again, and they can afford to wait, anyway, their lifespan is very long.

Li Wei was also very surprised. He had noticed that these two guys were fishing before. He didn't expect that they were not lazy, but special sacrifices for fighting against powerful enemies.

Although the level of this magic is only level 5, but before that, he has only seen it in the hands of Teclis, which shows its rarity.

But Khaleda seemed to have no intention of talking nonsense with the other party anymore, she just turned her head and looked at Li Wei: "Li Wei, purify him."

Now that her strength has reached her stage, killing this kind of enemy is meaningless.

If she wants to become stronger quickly, she can only pursue things related to gods, such as divinity, godhead, and even priesthood.

Of course, if the opponent is a legend, she will never let it go.

But Edward, his strength is far from enough.

The Chosen heroes have always been very keen to kill, which can make them stronger.

And when Sobek killed the sad little maid in the Temple of Bones, maybe even Sobek didn't notice it, but she, who couldn't do much in the cage, did notice it.

At that time, Li Wei wanted to rush up and beat Sobek. Like other God's Chosen heroes, he was also very enthusiastic about it.

Then if I give him the opportunity now, it can be regarded as repaying the kindness just now, right?

Faced with such a good thing, Li Wei naturally would not refuse. Although Edward's performance is much worse than Khalida, he must be at least a level 10 hero unit to be the leader of a party.

The other party is bound by magic again, which is more convenient for him.

However, why didn't Khalida ask the other party for any information?

Did she think it was unnecessary, or did she say
Since he already had a rough calculation in his heart, Li Wei directly prepared to perform the dissociation technique.

If Khaleda really wanted to, it wouldn't matter if Edward lost an arm or a leg.

Seeing his action, Edward immediately became a little anxious, not only because he recognized the magic, but also because it was completely different from what he expected!

"Wait, Khalida, don't you want information from me?"

"Hehe, will you say it then?"

If she could get the information easily, she wouldn't have spent so many years, but still couldn't find the real lair of the Silver Blood Army.

But this time, she has some hope, not because of Li Wei's arrival, but because the priests have found a new method.

Edward immediately put on a mask of pain. If you don't ask, how do you know if I will tell you?

If you don't even ask, and I tell you everything, wouldn't I lose face?

With such a moment of hesitation, Li Wei's magic has already come out, directly turning one of his arms into fly ash.

Edward couldn't help screaming in pain immediately, seeing that Li Wei's second magic had already started preparations, he didn't care about being reserved.

"It was the Queen who decided to cooperate with the Ratmen of the Corrupted Clan to find the secret treasure left by Nagash. They want the dimension stone, and we want the nine scrolls of Nagash."

Khalida was suddenly very surprised. Why is Edward, the leader of the Silver Blood Army, more afraid of death than those low-level vampires?

She originally thought that the other party would never reveal any information easily, so she didn't ask. Who knew that the other party was such a weak guy?

Li Wei took it for granted, except for those who had been brainwashed, only those who had no dreams, low abilities, and could not change the status quo would despise their own lives.

As long as there is some ability, how many people don't want to live better and longer?
But, this guy is still playing tricks. He seems to be very frank, but in fact he just said a few nonsense.

They have already deduced this information, okay?
And Kalida seems to be a little surprised?Did she never think that the other party would let go so easily, or did she never think about getting information from the other party at all?
Despite his doubts, his second spell came out of his hands, reducing one of his opponent's arms to flying ash.

Not to mention, Edward doesn't know whether he is really weak or just unlucky. The success rate of the dissociation technique is unexpectedly high.

If Li Wei had aimed at his head, he would have died by now.

But his vitality is indeed very tenacious, even after being seriously injured by Khalida, he was still alive and kicking after two rounds of dissociation.

Edward screamed in pain again, then turned his head and glared at Li Wei, I have already cooperated so much, why are you fighting back?
After a brief shock, Khalida also came to her senses. Since Edward was unexpectedly weak, it was a good time to ask him more.

"Where is your lair?"

Edward hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Li Wei was about to cast spells again, Khaleda didn't have any intention of dissuading him. He immediately said:

"The underground sixty miles to the northeast was excavated for us by the Ratmen, and it was also a base of Nagash back then."

"You got the nine volumes of Nagash?"

Edward immediately shook his head quickly: "No, if we got it, we would have left here long ago."

Although vampires have little need for the outside world, blood is their necessity.

However, the environment in these mountains is extremely harsh, except for the ratmen, they are undead. It is not easy for them to find some high-quality fresh blood.

Moreover, they have to deal with Khalida's invasion from time to time. If they had a choice, they would have left here long ago.

"Where is the rat man's lair?"

Edward shook his head again: "How could I know this, we just cooperate with each other, not superiors and subordinates."

Khalida was a little disappointed: "Do you have anything to add?"

Not only was she disappointed that the other party's information was so limited, but she was also disappointed that the leader of the Silver Blood Army, who had fought against her for at least hundreds of years, turned out to be such a waste?
No, maybe from the beginning, she got one thing wrong.
Edward immediately felt bad when he heard the words: "Hey, I've already told you everything I know, why don't you let me go?"

Li Wei next to him couldn't help but chuckled: "Idiot, when did we promise to let you go?"

Seeing Khalida nodding slightly to signal, Li Wei also released the third dissociation technique in a timely manner, this time he aimed at the opponent's head.

Without having time to make any sound, Edward disappeared without a sound.

Not to mention, this guy has nothing but good equipment, but his equipment seems to be very good. He directly dropped one piece of purple and two pieces of blue.

Li Wei picked up the things very naturally, and put them all into his space ring, and then he looked at Khalida again.

"This guy, shouldn't be the real Earl Edward?"

Khalida also nodded slightly: "At first I thought he was, but his performance disappointed me too much. He may also be called Edward, but he will not be the leader of the Silver Blood Army."

Although she hated the vampire queen very much, she also had to admit the opponent's wrist and strength. It was impossible for her to send such a waste to lead the silver blood army.

And the performance of the other party was completely different from what she had known before.

In this way, the credibility of the only information provided by the other party will be greatly reduced.

"Okay, then let's quell the commotion in front of us first, and then go to the place he said."

Khalida naturally had no opinion, and then turned to look at the corpses of the rat man assassins on the ground.

Although there were no obvious features on it, she quickly confirmed it: "It's the assassin of the Aixin clan, one of the four major clans of the Ratmen."

Among the four major clans of the Ratmen, Skryre was good at plagiarism and imitation. They used dimensional stones instead of gunpowder to develop some extremely unstable but powerful weapons and war instruments;
The Rotten Clan is good at cultivating various mutated beasts, or transforming humanoid creatures such as Beastmen;
The Plague Clan likes to spread plagues, and many large-scale outbreaks of plague in the human empire have vaguely pointed to them;

The last Eixin clan is dedicated to assassination. It is said that they have traveled to distant eastern countries to learn related skills.

I don't know if the cost of hiring them this time is paid by the Silver Blood Army or the corrupt clan?

As soon as Edward died, the vampires who had been killed almost scattered away like birds.

As for the Ratmen, seeing that the situation was not good, they took the lead in slipping away without even saying hello, completely leaving the undead on the spot.

Come fast, go fast, this is the Ratman's way of fighting.

Without immediately participating in the game of catching mice, Li Wei just threw dozens of arcane imprints at the fleeing ratmen.

With his current strength, this first-level magic can last for dozens of minutes. Although the distance is still limited, it is possible to follow the vines and find the rat people's lair.

He probably guessed that Khalida should have some backup plan to help her find the silver blood army's lair as soon as possible.

But he put in a little bit of effort here to increase the success rate.

Harporos on the other side is also controlling a few scorpion guards, tracking the fleeing ratmen in the underground passage for this purpose.

If they could really find out where the other party's lair was, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to kill all the ratmen before discovering the Silver Blood Army.

After quickly scanning around, Li Wei found that not only the ancient tomb technicians and priests, but also the generals, as he expected, showed extraordinary commanding ability and combat effectiveness.

Although it is not as good as Elegy or Martis, etc., it is also very majestic on the battlefield.

Once they charged, almost none of the incoming enemies could resist them.

Similarly, those god-chosen heroes also performed very well, and soon surrounded several traitors by virtue of their absolute superiority in numbers.

This kind of internal rebellion, once successful, can achieve great results, but if the follow-up is weak, it will trap itself here.

They were not in a hurry to kill all these traitors, apparently planning to inquire about the information later.

In fact, Kalida thought so too.

Even though she hated the other party's betrayal, she also knew that if she could come up with certain conditions, she might be able to get more information from the other party.

Li Wei glanced at it, and stopped paying attention, because he still had his own things to do.

There were 4 assassins who attacked Khalida just now, and 3 of them were melee-type assassins who were easily killed by him and Cindy.

But the last one who used the crossbow was unexpectedly powerful, and he is still alive and kicking.

Under the joint encirclement and suppression of many shadow elements and celestial creatures, not only did it not die, but it killed many celestial creatures one after another.

Its simple attack power is not particularly high, but the poison attached to its arrows is extremely violent.

Priests are difficult to purify, and if one does not pay attention, the recruiter may be directly poisoned to death
Moreover, all of its arrows are made of dimensional stones as raw materials, and this value is really not low.

At the same time, it can also throw some special plague grenades, and even use the power of shadows to hide its own figure.

All of these, almost at the same time, gathered the characteristics of the three major clans of the Ratmen, Skry, Eshin, and Plague, and it must have a very special position among the Ratmen.

So when he couldn't find Wang Jerry and other Ratman gods for the time being, he turned his target on the other party.

Although the opponent was extremely flexible, under the joint encirclement and suppression of Li Wei and Cindy, it was quickly forced to a dead end.

Seeing through invisibility is not a high-level magic. Even the Crazy Horse Envoys summoned by Li Wei can use three or five in a row.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, this special ratman assassin finally stopped in place and turned to look at Li Wei, as if he wanted to imprint his image deeply in his heart.

"It looks like Twitch is going to die here."

A rat man who can communicate normally?Li Wei became a little interested.

"Twitch? What clan are you from?"

He wanted to confirm whether the many powers on the other party were purely accidental, or were they deliberately created by the Ratman.

Betrayals and conspiracies within the Ratmen emerge in endlessly, and frequent internal fighting will occur within the clan, and the struggle between different clans is even more tragic.

Ratmen are also one of the few races that feed on the corpses of their own kind, and they like to do so very much.

Because it is much easier to kill a ratman in the lair than to hunt its prey in the wild.

If the four major clans are willing to work together, it will not be good news for intelligent races such as humans or dwarves.

Of course, for the high elves, it's not a big problem.

Because Ulthuan, the hometown of the high elves, is a super giant roundabout protected by magic, it will be very difficult for foreign races to break in, even to find the entrance there.

Even if some lucky ones appear occasionally, they still have to meet the navy that the high elves are proud of, as well as some sea beasts and sea elves that are allied with them in the sea.

So basically only the separated dark elves can occasionally pose a real threat to them.

There are no ratmen, greenskins, or beastmen on Ulthuan, and the ratmen have no navy at all, so no matter how the ratmen rage, the high elves will at most damage the colony, but they will definitely not affect the mainland. .

"Twitch is from the end of the sewers!"

Calling like this, Tucci still didn't give up resistance, but under the siege of Donna's multi-headed cats, as well as the Tiger Envoys and Wolf Patrol Envoys, there was almost no place for him to move around.

After trying several times in a row, Li Wei still failed to get much information. He only learned roughly that the other party's hometown was located under a certain human city.

At the same time, that city may be adjacent to the dwarven town, because Twitch also wears a pair of rare glasses that dwarf engineers only use.

As for the others, it refuses to reveal half of it.

Although the appearance is very wretched, it is indeed a qualified assassin, and it is important to know that it is important to keep it secret.

So Li Wei can only kill it, because things on Kalida's side are almost done.

After one shot of black tentacles and another shot of steel restraint, Tucci was finally completely unable to move, but he still tried his best to shoot at Li Wei for the final resistance.

It's a pity that its pure physical attack can't break through the defense of the big slap at all, it can't create wounds, and no matter how violent the toxin is, it is completely ineffective.

Li Wei waved his hand, signaling Cindy to accept its life, and he turned to where Khalida was.

The few traitors have also been dealt with. Except for one guy who was able to leave with his own hero and personal guard, the rest were all executed by Khalida.

And it was predictable that death would not be the only punishment. Kalida was the Queen of the Tombs after all, and if they offended her, their prestige and military status in Lai Mia would probably be wiped out.

However, when they decided to betray, they should have already had a similar awareness. Maybe the other party really gave them a generous reward that they could not refuse.

Since Khaleda wore that golden mask all day long, Li Wei couldn't see her expression except for those eyes, so he could only ask.

"How's it going?"

Khalida shook her head: "It's not ideal, and what they know is very limited. They are not important in the enemy's plan."

That's right, no matter whether the opponent's raid is successful or not, they will suffer heavy losses. How much confidential information can such pure cannon fodder know?

Li Wei immediately asked tentatively: "Then shall we wait until the battle here ends, or?"

Although his subordinates had almost no losses, the skeleton soldiers under Kalida's command lost at least nearly a thousand in the first wave of attacks.

In the follow-up battles, there were also continuous reductions in personnel, so riding a griffin and condescending, he could see very intuitively that the army, which seemed huge at first, was already riddled with holes.

The real combat power may not be lost much, but it does look a little embarrassed.

Khalida didn't reply immediately, but looked to the side, the ancient tomb priests who had summoned the magic locust swarm before.

After seeing the other party nodding, she said coldly: "No, we will march directly!"

After quickly issuing several orders, except for several generals to be responsible for cleaning up the remaining undead here, Khalida set off again.

Li Wei also noticed that this time she hardly brought any skeleton soldiers, and even the tomb guards were only a few hundred.

Her real main force is the guards of the gods and the knights of the graveyard, followed by some generals and priests, as well as a number of god-chosen heroes.

Although the size of the troops has dropped sharply, the actual combat effectiveness that can be displayed has not been affected much.

It seemed that she knew very well in her heart that those miscellaneous soldiers would not be of much use in a really fierce battle.

After contacting some previous signs, Li Wei is also roughly sure that Khalida should have a way to find the opponent's lair.

Thinking about it, he can ask the scorpion guards to track them. These priests who can control magic insects can naturally let them do the same thing!
