Long Live the Call of Heroes

So in the next few days, Li Wei stayed at the dwarf's fortress.

After realizing the advantages of constructs such as the Death Guard in fighting the plague of ratmen, the enthusiasm of the dwarves became even higher.

They originally intended to use them as an auxiliary, but now it seems that they may gradually become part of the main force.

For this reason, the dwarves are almost unlimited, and the supply of materials such as Levi's stone and metal is to allow him to create more death guards as soon as possible.

Li Wei also became busier.

On the one hand, he will continue to create various Death Guards;
On the other hand, he has to go out frequently to slaughter enemies such as greenskins and goblins, because he needs to get the soul crystals needed by the death guard from them himself.

The dwarves soon understood Li Wei's behavior, but they didn't show any strange eyes because of it, but were very happy.

Because Li Wei let those nasty green skins not rest in peace after death, but instead fought for their dwarves and killed more green skins, this is of course worthy of joy!

In the end, it was time to restore the one hundred dragon golems.

However, after the actual operation, he felt that he still slightly underestimated the difficulty required for the actual operation.

But fortunately, the materials are sufficient. He also accumulated a lot of experience when making the Death Guard in the past, so after spending a few days and consuming some semi-finished products that came to pull, he can be regarded as thoroughly understanding it.

Today, he not only successfully activated all the remaining dragon golems, but also mastered the expertise of making these two kinds of dragon golems.

Compared to the gold coins of the dwarves, this is his biggest gain these days.

While he was busy, since he had just defeated tens of thousands of green-skinned troops and had Kalida's reinforcements, the dwarves could also defend with peace of mind.

Seeing this situation, after the two dwarf ancestor heroic spirits got some death guards from Li Wei, they left first with their respective troops.

They were all anxious to go back to Mount Eight Peaks to fight against the greenskins with Belgar, because the battle situation there was more urgent.

At the same time, they did not forget to extend an invitation to Li Wei, saying that if they have the opportunity, they must go to Bafeng Mountain to enjoy the enthusiasm of their dwarves.

Of course, Li Wei agreed very happily. Among other things, the nine volumes of Nagash hidden in it were enough for him to go there in person.

However, the fire is not yet ready, the dwarves have not yet reached the most critical time, and his ability is not enough to reverse the situation of the battle.

At the very least, he would not consider going to Bafeng Mountain until the ruthless one's revenge army successfully arrived at the evil land and made some achievements.

While Li Wei was working hard, Donna, Elegy and the others did not slack off either. They began to attack frequently and attack the green skins and goblins around them.

With Khaleda's troops acting as cannon fodder, their men gained a lot of experience points with very little loss.

One of the reasons is that Amazon is warlike and warlike by nature, but the other reason is that it was stimulated by Levi.

Now he has been able to communicate with the goddess on a near-equal basis many times. In addition to the wisdom he showed before, it also lies in his potential, which has been recognized by the goddess. …

If they don't work harder, I'm afraid the gap between them and Li Wei will become bigger and bigger in the future, and they don't want to be seen as a drag.

Seeing their performance, Cindy, Sally, Sepha and Sonia, and even Alduin and Bayoru, who were usually not very enthusiastic about this, all fought bravely.

It’s okay to be lazy once in a while, but if everyone is working hard, but you are still fishing there, it’s a bit too protruding.

Seeing this situation, Li Wei was very pleased.

It's not that he is really black-hearted. In fact, if those old subordinates who follow him are tired of this life of fighting and killing all day long, he will also arrange a retirement position for them.

For example, the halfling Sam, the witch Tiwa, and the old mage Tes who stayed in the town, and even Lisa Dilan and Zhou Miyin, etc.

But if they are willing to work hard to catch up, he will naturally give them more convenience and opportunities!

At the same time, the entire main world is in turmoil and wars are raging.

In addition to the green skins, ratmen, and beastmen, more evil races, such as gnolls, trolls, and even kobolds, etc., also started large-scale wars and attacked their hostile races.

Whether it's a good deal, or they want to fish in troubled waters, this does put more and more pressure on the dwarves.

The only good news is that the rat people's main attack direction is not them, but many human empires.

They swarmed out of the sewers, and for a time, from south to north, from east to west, almost all human countries were involved in the flames of war.

As the rat people showed more and more abilities, the situation in many human countries was not much better than that of the dwarves.

Compared with dwarves, humans have more priests and mages, but they do not have the natural magic resistance of dwarves, so their resistance to plague is relatively weak.

Moreover, the dwarves live in various fortresses, and their roads leading to the outside are usually sealed or narrow paths.

Just send some powerful Hammer Warriors or Iron Breaker Warriors, and a few Iron Dragon Hand Artillery, and you can resist for a long time.

If it is a hero unit, it is very common to fight one against a hundred.

But human sewers have too many entrances and exits. It is entirely possible for the rat people who have lived below for an unknown number of years to attack dozens or hundreds of different locations at once.

There are enough of them, but the human defenders are limited.

More importantly, they occupy the initiative and can launch an attack at any time and decide where to focus the attack.

But humans can only defend passively, and they can't judge the main attack direction of the Ratman in a short period of time, which is very passive.

As for completely sealing off the sewers, or taking the initiative to go in and wipe out the ratmen, that's unrealistic.

The sewer system has existed for more than a thousand years, so it is so easy to change, not to mention that many sewers have been expanded by the rat people after so many years, and many of them have even been dug to directly connect to the dark area.

It is a very stupid choice to rashly attack the Ratmen who are familiar with the terrain. …

So far, dozens of large and small forces have tried to do this, but in the end, without exception, all of them ended in failure. Instead, the Ratmen took the opportunity to severely damage them, and even more than one village or town fell due to this.

The Ratmen are not eager to possess, they just kill all the living things, and then pack away the corpses, food, and all other available resources, and then they return to the sewers or the dark area again.

They are very aware of their own strengths and weaknesses. Killing and occupying are not the primary goal. They only want to obtain food and various materials so that they can continue to develop.

If the rat people occupy the town, it will attract a large-scale siege from the enemy.

Among them, the one with the heaviest loss may be Aviland, one of the twelve provinces of the Sigmar Empire.

Their leader, Mario Redolph, who has the qualifications to be an elector and is called the "Crazy Earl", went down himself.

With his status, it is indeed commendable that he can take the lead and personally take risks to share the worries of the people.

But he underestimated the Ratman.

In addition to the many methods shown before, the Ratmen have come up with new weapons, which combine warp stones, plague and magic gas bombs.

To bear such an attack in a narrow sewer, just think about how dangerous and deadly it would be.

Relying on his high level and powerful equipment, the "Crazy Earl" barely escaped, but it is said that his personal guards were almost wiped out.

At the same time, his rune sword, the mother of ruins, which was the symbol of the elector, was also lost in the chaos.

At present, he is offering a huge reward, hoping to recover the lost property, and once again intensifying his efforts to encircle and suppress the Ratmen.

If it were someone else, he might be afraid of it, but he was called the "Crazy Earl" for no reason.

When he was young, he used to hold a long sword, from Nanshan to Beishan, slaughtered countless of the most ordinary bees, and called it war, similar things are not one or two.

But no matter what, after the news came out, many races and forces raised their attention to the Ratmen again.

Although the intelligence showed that the other party strapped a gas bomb to his body and launched a suicide attack, the "Mad Earl" suffered heavy losses.

But if you think about it, you know that it is only a matter of time and materials for the Ratmen to modify them into other forms, such as bullets or shells.

Immediately afterwards, another news spread that the Ratmen launched an attack on Nun, an important military center of the Sigmar Empire and the city with the most developed war equipment, and the scale was unprecedentedly large.

Although the defenders there are very strong, many churches also have temples, and there are even three legend-level existences:
The archmage of the death department-Cemetery Rose, Kasmir IX, one of the two great reciters of the Church of Sigma, and a powerful warrior known as the Titan Executioner-Theodore.

However, due to the large number of Ratmen, the sudden attack, and the obvious lack of defense of the defenders, the city was still in chaos for a while. …

Legendary heroes are also human beings, and they have their own affairs to be busy with. Of course, it is impossible for them to stare at the city's sewer all day long. They have no such obligation or responsibility.

After repelling the Ratmen, after the event, due to the outstanding performance of the three strong men, the defenders lost very little, but the arsenal suffered a sneak attack.

The rat people stole a lot of raw materials and knowledge about making artillery, which may be their real purpose.

At the same time, this confirmed their previous guess. The Rat People probably wanted to take the opportunity to create special cannons with poisonous gas, plague and warp stones as ammunition!
After learning of this information, even Li Wei couldn't help but become cautious.

The Ratmen they knew were already very strong.

But maybe this is still not the full strength of the Rat People, gradually appearing on the battlefield, is it because the Rat People are trying to test their achievements through actual combat?
At the same time, in the south of the Sigmar Empire, separated by a mountain range, a large number of Beastmen began to gather rapidly on the outskirts of the Great Forest of the Wood Elves.

Outsiders may think that the Beastmen want to take advantage of the distraction of humans and other races and have no time to pay attention to them for the time being, so they want to join in the fun.

But Li Wei got the news from Doomsday Chen Zhui, yes and no.

The Beastman really wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, but he didn't just want to be a supporting role, but a protagonist!

Omen of Darkness - Malago, One-Eyed - Kazak, Shadowbane - Mogul, Wormtongue - Moloch, Copper Bull - Taunos, Beastmaster - Gothor, Descendants of the Moon - Moonclaw
Many well-known beastman leaders in the main world have called for all the beastmen in the main world to gather and attack the wood elves' Athel Loren forest.

There are a lot of beastmen in the wild, and the reason why they have never become a big disaster is that they have only caused some minor troubles, and even gradually become the experience points of the God's Chosen Heroes and the prey of the aboriginal adventurers.

The fundamental reason is not only that most of them are low-strength and stupid, but also that they are not united enough. In order to compete for the position of the leader, they will also launch cruel fights and sneak attacks among each other.

But the guys who launched the call this time, without exception, are all at the legendary level, and their wisdom may still be insufficient, but their strength is definitely not a problem.

Even the Beastmen would not be so stupid as to challenge their powerful brethren that they could not possibly fight against.

The reason why Athel Loren was chosen was not only because the wood elves were their greatest enemy, but also because it was the largest and most energetic magic forest in the main world.

Once the beastmen sacrificed them, even the demon lords would be able to summon a bunch of them, and a true god like Malar would probably show up directly.

As for the ordinary Beastman Bray Shamans, Warband Leaders, Lords of the Pack, etc., there are even more.

However, they are not all of the same mind. In the end of the world, Chen Zhui received a special camp mission. Which beastman leader he chooses to follow may directly determine his future.

Because some of these beastmen are followers of Malar, some worship demons, some worship devils, and some worship other beastman gods. …

Of the gods related to the Beastmen, Malar is the most well-known, but not the only one, and he is far from being the only one.

Rat people, tiger people, bear people, werewolves, fox people, and monkey people, etc., all have their own gods.

Yeenoghu, whom the gnolls generally believed in, was simply a demon lord.

In this case, these legendary heroes of the Beastmen must have their own plans.

What's more, for example, the descendant of the evil moon-Moonclaw itself is likely to be an ancient evil born from the dark side of the moon. It is not even considered a beastman at all, and it is just for fun.

Once Doomsday Chen Zhui succeeds in joining the team, he may reap a lot of money, but if he fails, he may end up extremely miserable.

For example, Moon Claw has been beheaded several times in the past, but after hundreds of years, it will often be resurrected again.

So failure or death is irrelevant to it, but its little brothers end up dying every time.

Another example is that some Beastmen worship demons, but the demons don't care about them at all, only treating them as toys.

So once you choose them, it's fine if you can win all the time, but if you fail once, Moon Claw and Demon can run away directly, and God's Chosen Heroes will probably be blamed.

But Li Wei couldn't help Chen Zhui make a decision on such an important matter. He could only give the other party some death guards to help him.

In fact, Li Wei still has great expectations for him, because as long as the benefits are sufficient, he is willing to be an insider.

When dealing with the old black dragon Black before, he made a lot of efforts and provided a lot of information. If he can climb to a high position under the command of a legendary beastman this time, at the critical moment, maybe the same Can play no small role.

And although it is not certain yet, Li Wei also vaguely sensed that Lilith seems to be a little dissatisfied with the current split state of the elves.

In the end of the world, if Chen Zhui could follow the other Beastmen all the way to the wood elf's hometown, and then under his own "persuasion", backstab the Beastman at a critical moment, how good would the wood elf's favorability be? Not straight up?

This may also have some effect on Lilith's plan. After all, after accepting Lilith's divinity, Li Wei has actually become her voter, her agent on the ground.

But that's a bit of a stretch, it's too far away from the Great Forest of Athel Loren, and there aren't many Beastmen nearby.

Ordinary beasts seldom live in mountains, they prefer dense forests.

Because only in that environment can they conceal their bodies better and launch ambushes. If it is a normal large-scale confrontation, it is almost impossible for them to beat a human army with the same configuration.

Because the human army has excellent equipment, good coordination, the assistance of priests and mages, and more importantly, a large number of gunpowder weapons.

There is a saying in the Sigmar Empire: steel, faith, and gunpowder are the cornerstones of the empire, which can almost explain the importance of the three to the empire.

The belief in it refers to the belief in God, and it can also be extended to priests, or even mages, etc. After all, they all use spells. …

However, the turmoil caused by the beastmen, in this case, still made the main world more chaotic.

Not only do they burn, kill, and loot themselves, but they also occasionally hold sacrificial ceremonies to summon demons and demons from other worlds, further expanding the chaos.

For a while, except for the high elves on Ulthuan Island, who were still enjoying the rare peace, the other races and forces, regardless of good or evil, chaos or law, were almost all caught in the flames of war.

At the same time, the undead who were originally lurking in the dark corners also began to emerge gradually.

They didn't have the guts to massacre dwarves or humans, because that would often lead to extremely strong revenge.

But on the battlefield after the greenskins or beastmen have ravaged, they still have the courage to restrain some corpses and restrain some souls.

Lucia has sent letters several times, saying that even the vampire queen, Neferita, cannot ignore this huge temptation of interests.

She gave instructions to many vampires, asking them to collect as many as possible, because corpses and souls are potential soldiers for them.

After the Silver Blood Army was destroyed, Neferita lost the largest military base, especially the loss of the Terror Knight and Blood Knight there, which made her feel distressed for a long time.

After losing the nine volumes of Nagash, she didn't know how long it would take before she could re-cultivate them.

Of course, for this reason, Li Wei's name was often mentioned by Neferita. Every time her expression was full of resentment, he was obviously on her death list.

But most of the time, she was apprehensive.

Many uninformed outsiders may misunderstand that this is because her blood relative, Khalida, is sharpening his knife and preparing to take revenge on her.

But Lucia knew very well that Neferita must be worried about Lilith's revenge. There are still many vampires in her Silver Peak, transformed from the knights of the Bator Kingdom. .

They misbelieved the legend she deliberately spread, thinking that the goddess of the lake was at Silver Peak, but they didn't expect that this was actually the base camp of vampires.

However, her state of worrying about gain and loss facilitated the actions of Lucia and others, because she was worried all day long, and she no longer had much energy to manage the affairs of Silver Peak herself.

Lucia was already very strong, and she had an equally strong younger brother, Alucardo, as her side support. When the Silver Blood Army was destroyed and Neferita lost a lot of support, they quickly ascended to a high position .

After receiving the architectural drawings of the statue of Nagash and the terrifying knight provided by Li Wei, her position became more stable.

It's just that in this case, in order to further gain Neferita's trust, she was sometimes forced to do things she didn't want to do before, such as confining the corpses and souls of those innocent victims.

Although with her current status, she didn't have to do it herself, but she was the one who issued the order after all, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

She even had some doubts that if this kind of thing was done too much, her camp would be seriously shifted accordingly.

Sometimes, for the sake of kindness and justice, a limited amount of desecration of corpses is justifiable. …

Because the dead may still be reborn in the kingdom of the gods and obtain a more perfect body, or high-ranking priests also have the ability to reshape their bodies.

But when it comes to the soul, the situation is often much more serious.

For another example, Neferita actually hinted to her that she intends to take her as a harem
This is a bit outrageous, obviously everyone is a woman.

She had also faintly heard of this kind of rumor before, and she thought it was a joke at the time, but she didn't expect it to be true.

In this way, it is completely understandable why Neferita has extra trust in the high-ranking female vampires in Silver Peak, but is always wary of her.

Because of those guys, it is very likely that all of them will become one of Neferita's wives or girlfriends!

While wanting to laugh, Li Wei could only comfort her a few more words, it won't be too long.

The reason why Lilith hasn't activated it yet is because she wanted Lucia to grasp as much information and power as possible about Silver Peak, so that she could eventually replace it.

Secondly, she is likely to be secretly investigating how Neferita determined that the goddess of the lake is her.

She had been hiding for so many years without being noticed by any gods. How could she be discovered by a mere legendary vampire?
The other party is not only suspicious, Lilith must be eager to find out the reason.

But now listening to Lucia's description, Neferita is obviously extremely frightened. In this case, in order to change the status quo, she has only three choices, and under great pressure, she will soon choose one.

First, take the initiative to ask Lilith to admit her mistake, and then let it be slaughtered. With the common character of vampires, the chance of her choosing it is infinitely close to zero.

Second, just run away.

The legend she spread about the goddess of the lake is located in her lair, Silver Peak, but the main world is so big, as long as she leaves Silver Peak, it is very easy for her to hide as a legendary vampire.

In the end, it is to hold a thick thigh, thick enough to compete with Lilith, and willing to protect her existence.

But Li Wei feels that Lilith has been planning for a while, and if Neferita chooses the first one, let's not talk about it, she will probably save her life.

Lilith might look down on Neferita's combat power, but her entire vampire family is best at infiltration and charm, especially in many human kingdoms, the intelligence network is very powerful.

But if she doesn't know good from bad and chooses the other two, then Li Wei is almost sure that Lilith will do it directly to avoid future troubles!
