Long Live the Call of Heroes

After seeing Akhan's actions, Li Wei was also a little surprised. Akhan didn't choose to summon a ghost dragon, but turned into a big zombie?

But looking at the magic light covering the zombie, he knew that it was definitely a high-level hero unit.

There are flying units that are not used, but ground units are chosen. Could this be some kind of trap for him?
After thinking about it, Li Wei decided to be on the safe side. He turned his head and looked at the big loli next to him: "Cindy, I'm going to trouble your dad again."

Among all the summoned creatures on one's own side, the Dragon Head Divine Envoy is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by the Punisher of the 7th-level elite.

Although the little female dragon and the high-level red flame envoy are also very strong, if they fight in close combat, they will definitely be smashed by the punisher.

As for sphinxes and dragon golems, as constructs, there are no small problems in terms of flexibility, mobility, or intelligence.

In the case of a small difference in strength, the Punisher must have a higher winning rate.

And this time it happened to be infantry against infantry, no matter what conspiracy the opponent had, the Punisher's sledgehammer was not a vegetarian!

Cindy immediately responded cheerfully: "Okay!"

With the appearance of high-level arms and even hero units from both sides, the battle became more and more intense.

Li Wei also quickly relied on his own chess skills to successfully send some low- and mid-level summons to Akhan's side, causing him some damage.

And use this to force the opponent's Skeleton King and Dragon Head Angel to fight a decisive battle, and the punisher finds the zombie king.

The opponent stayed on the field all the time, it was too much of a threat, it is better to start the war as soon as possible, and find out the details of the opponent.

It is best to be able to kill the opponent, if not, he can also arrange the next plan according to the actual situation of the opponent after the battle is over.

Should we directly use the little female dragon and the high-level red flame envoy to pursue and kill the opponent by force, or avoid their edge first and attack Akhan's body directly.

Under the unavoidable situation, the Skeleton King and the Zombie King soon fought fiercely with the Dragon Head God Envoy and the Punisher respectively.

Li Wei put almost all of his attention on them at that time.

My family knows their own affairs, and if they are no match for their opponents, then their side can only count on Sphinx.

The only good thing is that they don't have to fight to the death. This board battle allows summons to surrender.

Then Li Wei also saw the fighting power of two powerful undead races. Except that the Skeleton King is not as fast as the Horror Knight, it is completely a powerful version in other aspects, and it can also conduct long-range attacks with ghost fire.

The only weakness is that it can't fly.

In ordinary large-scale wars, this weakness is actually not fatal, because it has more friendly forces.

But in heads-up, this weakness is magnified countless times.

So after some unilateral ravages, it was quickly killed by the condescending Dragon Head God Envoy with indiscriminate bombardment magic, and scattered all over the ground into bones.

But just when Li Wei thought the battle would be over, within a few seconds, the bones quickly gathered into a human form again, and it was resurrected!

But Akhan didn't give the Dragon Head Divine Envoy a second chance, he just snorted and chose to admit defeat.

Although he lost this small battle, the Skeleton King didn't lose, and he also took the opportunity to get a general understanding of the ability of the Dragon Head God Envoy.

It can only be said that the situation is not optimistic, even if it is the treasure at the bottom of the box that he is proud of - the heavy corpse dragon, it is almost impossible to beat the opponent in a one-on-one duel.

Then, like Levi, he focused his attention on the battle between the Punisher and the Zombie King.

Then within half a minute of the battle, both Li Wei and Cindy laughed, while Akhan felt more and more angry and aggrieved.

Because his Immortal King was once again perfectly restrained by the opponent!

Although the number of small zombies it summoned was large, the opponent had a small-scale split attack.

Often the ones it summons are not destroyed as quickly as the opponent, and it has no chance to use them as a medium to display other skills!
Seeing that the opponent became more and more courageous in the battle, and the negative effects such as toxins and curses imposed by the immortal king had little actual effect, Akhan simply conceded defeat again.

His Undying Corpse King does not have the resurrection ability of the Skeleton King. If it is lost here, it would be a waste of its power.

And when he made this decision, he was not as painful as he imagined.

Then he immediately realized that this was because before he knew it, he actually had a vague idea: losing to the opponent is not completely unacceptable.

The thought made him feel angry, ashamed, and helpless.

Although his luck today was indeed very bad, and he failed to summon a few truly powerful summons from the beginning to the end, but he summoned two hero-level undead in a row, but they were all cracked by the opponent.

Even if he summoned the bone dragon, ghost dragon, and corpse dragon, wouldn't the other party continue to show off their tricks?
He had to admit that if he failed today, it would not only be due to luck, but also to his arrogance!

If he launched a strong attack at the beginning and did not take this chessboard battle at all, it would not have caused so many things, and it is even possible that Neferita's relationship with him would not have dropped to freezing point again.

Thinking of this, he finally regretted it, if he had been more decisive before.
But no matter how much he was thinking now, the battle was still going on, and it became more and more unfavorable to him.

Soon, summoned creatures belonging to Li Wei's side approached him one after another and attacked him.

And with the successive victories of the Dragon Head God Envoy and the Punisher, Akhan's side's summons were completely vulnerable to them.

Even if his luck turned a little bit later, and he summoned many terrifying knights, one bone dragon and one ghost dragon one after another, it was still not enough to turn the tide of the battle, and even aroused the anger of the dragon-headed angel and the little female dragon.

Then it took a little more time, and Li Wei finally completed the entire layout, and he directly let the summons launch a full-scale attack.

Wherever he passed, it was as if he was dying, and Akhan's summoned objects were quickly and completely emptied, and Li Wei's summoned objects also reached the upper limit.

At this time, even if Akhan still hadn't given up struggling, he knew that the battle was settled.

Unless there is a miracle, he can summon three heavy corpse dragons at once, and it will be possible to defeat those dragon-headed gods who are slightly in poor condition due to many battles and so on.

But hope did not appear, and soon the dragon head angel, the punisher, the little female dragon, and the high-level red flame envoy successfully joined forces and surrounded Akhan.

Even though he knew that his body would not suffer any damage during the chessboard battle, Akhan was still somewhat startled when he saw the many enemies staring at him.

His strength is indeed extraordinary, and he can be regarded as a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, but the opponent is too close to him, and he instinctively feels threatened.

Seeing that the victory and defeat had been decided, he stopped resisting, and just looked at Li Wei very seriously, as if he wanted to imprint him deeply in his heart.

"It's such a shame that I would lose to a kid who isn't even a legend."

Li Wei smiled slightly: "You may think it is a shame now, but one day, you may regard it as an honor, because you just lost."

but not dead.

Although Li Wei didn't say the last four words directly, Akhan certainly couldn't fail to comprehend the meaning.

He couldn't help snorting softly: "Did you know that I just defeated Tefnut's incarnation of God?"

Li Wei applauded lightly, and praised: "Your strength is indeed very strong, but it's a pity that I couldn't see the whole process with my own eyes."

He originally thought that Tefnut might be a hidden boss, even though she was defeated by Arkhan, he still didn't underestimate her because of it.

Because the bronze lion-headed gods guarding the city of bronze are always a doubt that cannot be avoided.

But his estimate of her strength has indeed been lowered a lot because of this.
If she really had hidden powers like Lilith, then she couldn't have been defeated by Arkhan like this.

Leaving aside the information he has so far, the Egyptian gods would never do any tricks of "pretending to be pigs and eating tigers". They valued their own face very much.

And if she fails, Akhan will take away the nine volumes of Nagash directly, and even prepare for the ceremony of resurrecting Nagash.

and many more
Li Wei suddenly realized a problem. As an old enemy of Nagash, the Egyptian gods must also know that the reason why Akhan collected the nine volumes was what he really wanted to do besides the knowledge and power attached to it. , or revive Nagash.

Then if she deliberately lost the battle and let Arkhan take it, is it to let him resurrect Nagash as soon as possible, and then the Egyptian gods will wait for a rabbit to come to a once-and-for-all solution?

The rumored Egyptian god-king Osiris, or Seth and Sobek, etc., must not have this wisdom.

It's not that he looks down on them, but according to their past performance, they really don't have this wisdom and pattern.

But if Tefnut is really a hidden boss, coupled with her status as the current grandma of the God King, she may indeed play this hand.

Anyway, what she showed to the outside world was Godhead 2. She didn't have any combat priesthood or domain. Losing to the famous Akhan would not make people or gods feel too surprised.

In this case, your own actions may conflict with their plans.

But Li Wei thought about it again, this is only a possibility he speculated at present, maybe it is not a fact, but he scares himself.

What's more, even if Tefnut really intends to do this, what does he have to do with you Egyptian gods if he is snatching Nagash from Akhan now?
If you want to continue to implement the plan, there is no problem, just show your sincerity and show some practical benefits!

Of course, it was impossible for Akhan to know that Li Wei thought of so many things in such an instant.

He was just a little surprised. With the opponent's strength and age, he defeated himself, a veteran legendary powerhouse, without much pride and arrogance, but praised himself?

But when he thought about it again, he felt very uncomfortable.

The winner's praise for the loser hurts him more than sarcasm and insults.

The stronger he is as a loser, the more powerful he looks like a winner?

Akhan snorted coldly again: "Another vain attempt to seal the gods? The Seven Heavens Mountain can't do this."

Except for the gods of the first generation, most of the existing gods are able to ascend to the gods by inheriting the priesthood and godhead of other gods, or being bestowed by other gods.

To truly ascend to the gods in their own right, the most recent one was the founding emperor of the Sigmar Empire, now known as Sigmar the God-Emperor.

But that was already two thousand years ago.

And he suspects that there are other gods helping in secret, because Nagash, who once overwhelmed Sigma and has impeccable talent, has been struggling for so long, but he has not been able to find a way to become a god.

There's no reason why a Sigmar, who was originally a barbarian warrior, should be better and more talented than Nagash in this respect.

Li Wei just smiled and said nothing, Lilith put the fragments of the snake man's priesthood in front of his eyes before.

Even Akhan is very powerful, but neither he nor Nagash should have seen such a thing before, right?

Even though he didn't speak this time, Akhan still keenly noticed that after he finished speaking, the other party seemed to suddenly have an inexplicable sense of superiority, which immediately made him very unhappy.

It just so happened that another round was over at this time, and he lost dozens of life points again. Seeing that he was about to lose, he became more and more upset.

In addition to the nine scrolls of Nagash, in order to be able to offset the other items added by the opponent, he also put a lot of treasures.

Once a few of them were lost, even he would feel heartache for them.

After the soul fire in his eyes shook violently, Akhan said again: "Isn't it Li Wei, I remember your name, I hope you will not be blinded by the small interests in front of you, you need to focus on the future , only Nagash can change that desperate fate."

Li Wei felt a little funny: "You know you can't do it, is it because you are really loyal, or because you have been affected by Nagash magic without knowing it?"

He knew that in the past, both Akhan and Nagash had died in battle several times, and each time, they would try their best to revive each other.

And based on the information he saw in history, Akhan is undoubtedly an excellent subordinate with wisdom, strength and loyalty.

It's a pity that they are now standing in the completely opposite camp. He is the hero of the other, and my enemy is the bandit. He can only try his best to fight against it.

Although he didn't think he could successfully alienate the other party with his two words, but anyway, it doesn't cost money, does it?
But he never expected that after listening, although Akhan didn't say a word, his soul fire representing his eyes shook violently, which showed that he really listened.

Because for the powerful undead, if there is any time when they are the weakest, it is undoubtedly one of them when they are resurrected by others.

But before Li Wei could say more, Akhan had already adjusted his state, and he snorted coldly: "Trying to drive me apart? You are too naive."

Seeing that Li Wei still wanted to speak, he waved his hand directly: "Stop wasting your tongue, don't you want to collect the nine volumes of Nagash? Okay, then I will tell you."

"One of the volumes is in the treasure house of the Dwarf's Eight Peaks Mountain, one volume is in the hands of the magic toad-Mazda Moody, and the other volume is in the hands of Manfred of Sylvania. If you are not afraid of death, you can go and get it. Bar."

Li Wei raised his eyebrows. Through his perception and intelligence, he can be sure that the first two are true, and the third is temporarily uncertain, but it is also very possible.

As the ruler of Sylvania, Manfred is not one of the original vampires, but the second generation, but he is still undoubtedly one of the most powerful vampires.

Moreover, according to information, his ancestor, Vlad von Carstein, who raised him as his own son, also possessed a blood stone ring, the effect of which was similar to that of Lucia's, and both had the ability to make vampires The ability to resurrect.

But before a certain battle, the ring suddenly disappeared without a trace, leading to Vlad's death in battle, but afterwards the ring appeared in the hands of this Manfred, the truth seems to be self-evident.

Already powerful and ambitious, and possessing the blood stone ring, of course he would want to collect the nine scrolls of Nagash.

But Akhan revealed all three pieces of information so readily, obviously he had no good intentions.

He knew the information, but he never got it, because he couldn't get it. None of these three forces could be provoked by him, so he just wanted to charge himself into battle.

Needless to say, the dwarves, one by one, as the most important treasure house of the dwarves, Bafeng Mountain is undoubtedly a forbidden place for all dwarves, and even the eyes of the dwarf gods have always been placed there.

Mazda Moody, who is known as "Master Horse", can command almost all guardian lizardmen, skinks, monitor lizards and all kinds of dinosaurs they belong to.

It is even no exaggeration to say that his appeal in the main world and the troops he can mobilize are far stronger than more than [-]% of the gods.

In comparison, Manfred is probably the weakest.

But with the province of Sylvania, he can compete with the Sigmar Empire in the west.

The east side can also resist the dwarves and green skins in the mountains, and occasionally can deal with the expeditionary forces sent by Kislev, the kingdom of ice and snow, as well as demon hunters like the Sonia family. Their strength should not be underestimated.

Even in Lilith's view, Manfred's personal strength is actually stronger than that of the Vampire Queen.

Moreover, the external strategies of the two are completely different. The vampire queen puts more emphasis on charm and penetration. Her vampire maids are all over the world. Maybe some noble maids or concubines are vampires.

Manfred has accumulated a wealth of defeat experience and acquired a lot of military command skills in the coalition forces with the empire and the dwarves.

And there is one thing that may surprise many outsiders. When his army is in foreign wars, it is true that it loses more than it wins, but his undead army is always growing.

This caused the empire and others to triumph all the way, but before they knew it, the army was almost dead, and then Manfred's counterattack would completely wipe out all the results of the battle.

Manfred lost face, but won Lizi.

If he went there rashly, no matter which one of these three forces educated him, then Akhan would be regarded as indirect revenge.

If he can succeed by chance, then he is even more likely to rely on the induction between the nine volumes of Nagash to take the initiative to come to the door and snatch the fruits of victory.

And even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter.

Just like he just tried to drive a wedge between the other party and Nagash, no money anyway!

Looking at each other, they both felt that each other was difficult to deal with. When they tried to collect the nine scrolls of Nagash in the future, they must be a strong enemy.

In contrast, Li Wei has even more headaches.

How much strength the opponent exerted, he is still completely unclear, because in the past battles, Akhan was really not known for his summoning spells, he was more like a general who commanded everything.

Occasionally, if the enemy is killed, there is not much information at all, or it is an unreasonable instant death spell.

But he has gone all out.

Among other things, if he does not use summoned creatures, it will be difficult for him to defeat the Dragon Head God Envoy, but Arkhan can definitely easily beat the Skeleton King and Zombie King.

However, he would not underestimate himself. He didn't know how many years it took Akhan to reach his current strength, and whether he had regressed.

But Nagash is a super old immortal born more than [-] years ago, outliving most gods.

Well, it might not be accurate to say that, because he was actually dead most of the time, in the state of waiting for resurrection.

If it is placed in a 5V5 competitive game, he is very fierce in team battles, but often after a wave of violent output, he will have to count the seconds in the spring all year round, and the resurrection time is super super long.

Akhan was probably collected by Nagash when he was between 100 and 400 years old. The specific time is unknown, but one thing is certain, he is also 4000 years old and immortal.

The time it took Li Wei to reach his current level was less than one-thousandth or even one-ten-thousandth of the opponent's time. The one who should be ashamed is not him, but the opponent!

I don't know whether he was speechless by Li Wei's words, or he felt ashamed to continue arguing. In short, in the next few rounds, Akhan didn't make any struggles, but just let many summoned creatures attack him , until the HP reaches zero.

After taking a deep look at Li Wei, Akhan didn't say much, but let the magic circle that comes with the chessboard teleport him away.

This broken chessboard was the first time he used it after he got it, and he did not expect to suffer an unprecedented huge loss.

And he can no longer explore some of the secrets contained on it, because it is also one of the items placed on the balance.

Seeing Akhan leave in a desperate state, Li Wei was somewhat relieved, but Akhan should indeed be ashamed, because his health has already returned to zero, while he is still at 100.

From the beginning to the end, none of his summoned objects really came to him.

But don't be too complacent, there are really too many chances in this battle.

Akhan himself was unlucky, and most of the dice were 1-5.

As a result, he failed to give full play to his superiority in military strength, and magnified his own shortcomings of poor chess skills countless times.

Coupled with the fact that he was backstabbed by Neferita, and the two heroic undead were all targeted by Li Wei and Cindy, his mentality collapsed a bit.

But if he encounters a similar situation next time, Li Wei is not sure that he can still achieve such a victory.

But no matter what, winning is winning, and the chessboard gave him the recognition he deserved.

Following a series of system prompts, Li Wei directly harvested nearly 20 items. Naturally, he immediately looked at the eighth of the nine volumes of Nagash - the book of disaster avoidance.

Similar to the Scroll of Wisdom and the Canon of Death, it also has 5 effects, among which Soul Binding, Evil Oath and Nine Scrolls of Echoing are all the same.

There are two differences. The first one is called disaster avoidance, and the holder's luck will never be lower than 0.

The second one is called Jie'er, and his resistance to negative states such as plague, toxin and curse will be greatly improved.

In the case of consuming mana, this effect can also take effect on other people, and in the case of sufficient mana, theoretically there is no limit to the number of people and range.

After reading these two names, Li Wei's first reaction was that Nagash must have communicated with the Cathay Dynasty, because these two names are too oriental.

His second reaction was that from now on, he will become the nemesis of the Skaven!

In addition to Dimensional Stone Black Technology, mutant beasts and many other things, the Rat People are currently the most troublesome thing for many races, than their plague.

This thing is not the same as the ordinary negative state, although it can also be easily purified by priests, but there are too many ways for it to spread.

Whether it is hunting or eating animals or ratmen infected with the plague, close contact with the sick, or being bitten by flying insects, etc., it is possible to be infected with the plague.

Not to mention that the Ratmen would also poison various water sources in a vicious way, or simply throw rotting corpses and so on to pollute the environment.

Although compared to the Ratman's sword, the direct damage caused by this epidemic is not obvious, and those with a little strength can carry it for a while.

But for those civilians who generally have little health, they become very dangerous.

There are even many ignorant people among the people who have begun to spread panic rumors, calling it the plague of the last days.

But now this solution is exactly its nemesis, but the actual effect will only be known after actual testing.

Then there is a set of three combined treasures, the Bow of the Tree Elf, the Mane of the Beast and the Arrow of the Sky Feather. Their effects are 5%, 10% and 15% of the attack of long-range troops respectively.

After the combination, it becomes a special treasure of the legendary level - Phantom God Bow, the effect is integrated into 30%, and the combat skill - projectile, no longer reduces the attack power and hit rate.

Battle Skill - Archery has two types of additions to long-range units, one is the basic value, and the other is an additional value based on the attack (campaign attribute) of the leading hero.

The Phantom God Bow is determined according to the attack power of the unit itself. The stronger the strength, the greater the bonus it receives.

Throwing was originally an exchange of attack power and hit rate for maximum range, and the ability to cross obstacles to a certain extent.

But now with the Phantom God Bow, the disadvantages of throwing are gone, leaving only the advantages, which is very exaggerated.

If Donna is equipped with this, the strength of her Avalon and so on will suddenly rise to a big level, and even the ordinary 6th-tier troops will not be able to stand in front of them.

As for the requirements for equipment, they were advanced archery, battle level 10, and attack power 15, and now Donna satisfied all of them.

At the same time, it also has the ability of battle treasures and weapons. Although its attack power is incomparable to the disaster of the elf betrayer, it is also much stronger than ordinary epic bows and arrows.

There are two more special skills:
1. Phantom Arrow, 50-1 arrows will randomly appear in 2% of the shots. The arrows have no attack power and are intended to disturb the enemy's sight, but the advantage is that it is a passive effect and does not need to consume any magic points at all.

2. Arrow storm, charge for 3 seconds, consume 50 magic points, shoot 10-30 arrows randomly, each arrow has 50% attack power.

Although the attack power is a bit low, it can be regarded as an area-of-effect attack skill anyway, so you don't have to worry about not having a chance to play.

As a legendary item, it also has the treasure curse.

The first is that it needs to occupy one weapon slot and three battle treasure slots at the same time, but compared to its powerful effect, this negative effect is insignificant at all.

The second is that after holding it for three days, there may be a wood elf force that will become hostile to them.

According to Li Wei and Donna's camp and race, etc., the other party may take different actions.

Including but not limited to asking for, redeeming, or starting a war, etc., because this thing was originally a treasure of the wood elves, but the previous owner was killed by Akhan.

But Li Wei didn't have the slightest fear, no matter who it originally belonged to, he took it from Akhan, and there was absolutely no reason to give it away for no reason.

You can't grab it back by yourself, and now you want to come to me to pick up a bargain?There are no doors!
Then there is a pair of legendary weapons - Sanye Duijian: Attack Power 12-18.

1, 3 power;

2, 3 agility;

3, 15% attack and movement speed;

4, 10 magic resistance;

5. Crippled, passive skill, attack has a 15% chance to reduce the opponent's movement speed and attack speed by 5%-15%, lasting for 3 seconds;
6. Moonlight transfiguration, active skill, three times a day, one or two of the weapons can be transformed into one of short sword, long sword or long knife with an instant action (only the shape change will not affect the attack force properties).

(A Sanhua and a Yasha resonate under the moonlight, and when the two swords are combined, they can exert greater power)

The attack power of this pair of weapons is very low, but the overall effect is very good. It is a pity that Li Wei has not used such weapons for the time being.

Warriors such as Elegy, Cindy, and Alduin all chose the more violent two-handed sword and warhammer.

So Li Wei decided to give it to Sonia temporarily. She is currently groping to see which weapon is more suitable for her. Maybe she thinks they will be very good?

Then there is a legendary item that Li Wei especially values, which is also a legendary wonder-endless gold bag: 10 gold coins are provided every day.

No, it's just so plain and simple.

Although for Li Wei, he can earn a lot of 10 gold coins by killing some monsters every day or selling a few Death Guards, but no one can deny its power, and it can even become a family heirloom of a power.

And according to the magnitude of the sinking of the balance that Li Wei had seen before, the judgment of the chessboard on its value was dozens of times higher than that of the legendary Sanye Duojian.

Finally, there is the chessboard of the key items that allow Levi to benefit this time.

It is also at the legendary level, but after actually getting it, Li Wei discovered that its own ability is not as good as imagined.

It has no attributes attached to it, and its only function is to allow two mages to engage in a board battle.

Since he had just personally participated in it, Li Wei already had a good understanding of the general content.

What really made him frown was actually its condition of use.

The chessboard battle initiated by it requires both parties to choose to agree before it can proceed smoothly.

In this way, its effect is greatly reduced.

Li Wei thought about it for a long time, and felt that there might only be two ways to use it in the future.

One is to challenge the strong, or pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. The other party thinks you are weak and has a high winning rate, so it is naturally possible to accept it.

The other is that if the opponent is not sure about defeating you through fighting, or if you have something he desperately wants in your hand, it is naturally possible to agree to the chessboard battle.

In other words, he would think of a way to play chess with Akhan again in the future, and then snatch the shackles of war from his hand, then he could forcefully play chess with the enemy.

But other than that, its name and its remarks made Li Wei very interested.

Mischievous gun board chess: a gift made by a rude old father for her daughter, but unfortunately due to poor skills, it eventually turned into a prank-like existence.

Li Wei originally thought that it would probably be related to summoning or mages, but he didn't expect it to have such a background.

This inevitably made him develop a series of associations.

What kind of existence can create such a special legendary equipment that can protect the summoners of both sides and make the internal and external time flow differently?
Gunbanqi generally refers to those board games with boards and pieces, including backgammon, checkers, watermelon chess and chess, etc.

And it just so happened that the master of the other chessboard on him - the Yin Hong Knight, was called the master of gun board chess.

Tempus, the human god of war she regarded as her father, was undoubtedly a rude old father who only knew how to fight all day long.

So the truth of the matter seems to be very obvious.

On the surface, it seems that the chessboard is just a legendary level with a lot of restrictions, but its actual value may not be inferior to the Phantom God Bow and the Book of Disaster Avoidance at all!
