Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 469 Occupying the Black Ark
Thanks to Grena's full cooperation, the process went very smoothly.

Although she has been locked up in the core area as a slave, as a prophet and a person with different ideas, of course she always pays attention to collecting all useful information, which helps Li Wei a lot.

Palace of Joyful Oblivion (Black Ark)

(Because you have not been authorized by the Witch King and Witch Queen, but forcibly occupied, so you cannot use all functions normally for the time being, and you can only view part of the information)
Super giant vehicle (15km x 28km)

Biocapacity (unable to estimate)
Cargo capacity (unable to estimate)
Garrison (0/200000) (upgradeable)
Power source:

1, United Mage Tower (enabled);
2. Sacrifice circle (not activated);

3. Power Transformation Ceremony (enabled);

4. Sea beast tow rope (enabled);
5. Magic Sail (not enabled).

Special Building 1: Composite Mage Tower - Temple, the current gods worshiped are:

God of Blood Hands - Kane (powerful divine power)
God of Disaster - Illinier (weak divine power)
Queen of Hydra - Hecate (weak divine power).

Can cast battle magic: Kane's whip, rain of souls, vicious black fire, blood pool from heaven.

Special Building 2: Sea Animal Capture House.

Special Building 3: Black City Wall (105 meters high, currently 97% complete)

Seeing this, Li Wei was really shocked.

Even if he already knew from Greina, the black city walls of the ark should be calculated from the underwater part, so the high point is also understandable.

But they spent so much effort and ended up hitting 3%?

Although in an actual battle, there is no need to smash all the city walls and then launch an attack, as long as there is a breakthrough is enough.

But it can also be roughly seen that the defense of the black ark is really invincible.

This also made him more tempted. No matter what price he paid, he must persuade Lilith to help him solve the key problem.

As for the source of power, the other Li Weis can probably understand it, and the power transformation ceremony was explained by Greina, and Li Wei immediately understood it.

Simply put, that thing is like a super giant hamster wheel.

There is a large lake in the south of the Black Ark that can be connected to the seabed. The dark elves can usually catch fish as food and various sea beasts.

Sea beasts that have combat effectiveness and are relatively easy to tame, they will try to transform into their own troops, and then put them together with those Hydras and so on, and drive them to fight the enemy.

If it is those who are not capable of fighting, or who are stubborn, they will be thrown into the lake, first bewitched by magic, and then made to spin wildly.

At that time, the magic circle will absorb its kinetic energy and serve as the driving force for the operation of the black ark.

When those sea beasts have no strength, or are exhausted to death, the dark elves will either kill and eat the meat, or pull them into the sacrificial circle and use them again.

Coupled with the traction of the mage tower and sea beasts, the power sources of the black ark are still very diverse.

But even so, because its area is too large, unless it is still, it costs money to move, and it costs thousands of gold coins for magic crystals every day.

In a big battle like today, it is estimated that tens of thousands of gold coins will be gone. Such a huge expense would be difficult for ordinary dark elf lords to bear.

This is also one of the reasons why the dark elves tend to rob even more frantically after they get the black ark.

Now that the dark elves are running away with Hydra and others, without their traction, if they only use magic spar, the cost will be even higher.

As for the other buildings, they are almost the same as ordinary dark elf towns, with blacksmith shops, grocery stores, taverns and the like, everything that one expects to find.

There are more than a dozen god-given buildings that can recruit Dark Elf Pirates, Sad Swordsmen, Dreadspearmen, Witch Spirits, Harpies, and Cold Ones, but Li Wei hasn't figured out how to use them yet.

Once the soldiers of these evil camps were recruited, due to the conflict between races and camps, they might immediately start a life-and-death fight with him.

Although Cold One is a battle beast and mount that can be used barely, but it is really difficult to go crazy at every turn.

Levi felt that either through the lotus of the Red Brotherhood, or the Sun Knight, etc., they were sold to those who were not afraid of death, or they had to find some special professional animal trainers.

For example, Lizardmen or Amazons.

They can even deal with big dinosaurs, and they must have no problem dealing with the Cold One.

It might not be easy for the lizard people, but Levi has decided to go to Paradise Island later.

With Donna and Elegy, it shouldn't be a big problem to find some animal trainers or something.

There are also some buildings such as fighting halls and arenas. Originally, this was a place where the dark elves used the lives of the slaves for fun.

But because they haven't had time to rob and capture slaves on a large scale, they haven't been used for the time being.

Li Wei thinks that with a little modification and some priests, they can become a place for the subordinates to enjoy daily leisure and entertainment, plus earn some experience points.

If he is willing to spend some money, he can also learn from the big crocodile Sobek and give his subordinates some valuable things as prizes to mobilize their enthusiasm.

However, in the slave camp, there are still some existences worth saving.

Marus had robbed several times when he came, and these guys were the victims of one of the accidents, and they came from a special place, the country of mist-Obien.

It is said to be a country, but it is actually a large island located in the north of the Ulthuan ring island of the high elves.

As the name suggests, it is shrouded in mist all year round, and there are some savage and primitive human tribes with red hair and blue tattoos living on it.

Albion is rich in a druid named "Truth Talker", as well as various mercenaries.

But the most famous one is probably Stonehenge carved with a kind of Ogham script.

It is said that they can block the power of demons and demons, prohibit the coming of these otherworldly evils, and provide "Truth Worders" with great power.

Whether it is true or not, Li Wei is still not sure, because they are already miserable before the devil comes.

Because there is no unified country, but exists in the form of large and small tribes, the overall strength is not strong.

It is also suspended overseas, and there are no lawful and good allies nearby to rely on, so every time the Norsca pirates go to sea in large numbers, or when the dark elves pass by, they will inevitably be robbed once.

The power of Stonehenge is not enough to protect their safety.

However, it is said that near Stonehenge, there are some giants and swamp trolls who will form a temporary alliance with them. I don't know if it is true or not?

With such doubts, Li Wei released all these prisoners.

Without any hesitation, about [-] O'Brien fighters all swore their allegiance to Li Wei.

Because the environment in their hometown was too harsh, the Obien were originally very professional mercenaries, and they habitually pledged their allegiance to various lawful or good camps.

In the face of Li Wei's question, they also gave an affirmative answer. There are indeed some big guys on the island.

But recently, they have become irritable and murderous, and even the "Truth Worders" have split into two parts.

Some of them called themselves "Dark Messenger" and led the giants to occupy Stonehenge, refusing others to approach.

As soon as he heard this special name, Li Wei knew that there was a problem.

It's just that it's not clear which evil god is behind this, or is it simply a demon?

Although the life of the Obien people is a bit miserable, they are robbed all the year round, and there are various swamps that are not suitable for living on the island, but it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of people on it.

For medium divine power, they are all quite attractive.

It's a pity that even if he knew, he didn't have the energy to do anything for the time being, but he could provide the news to Lilith later.

Doesn't she still have the identity of Ms. Mist, she should be quite suitable for the country of Mist, right?

However, she should also know this, but she has never taken any corresponding action.
Speaking of which, it seems that there is no god worship on Obion Island.
The artisan workshop can also manufacture the Reaper ballista. Although this kind of war equipment is a special product of the dark elves, it has no camp to speak of, and it can also come in handy.

Then there is what Grena is most concerned about, the Hall of Silence that can recruit Medusa.

Tier 5 special arms are still very valuable.

Even if the output is a little low, the two Halls of Silence can barely make up a team every week.

In addition, what Li Wei values ​​most is the area of ​​the black ark.

A full 420 square kilometers, more than half of which is uncultivated rainforest, a quarter is plains suitable for farming, and a small part of the remaining area is garrisons, towns and so on.

If this is taken care of, simply farming can easily support tens of thousands of people.

But the warehouse was empty. Li Wei only found magic crystals worth about 1.8 gold coins, which could be enough for the black ark to run for about 10 days.

This is mainly because Malus also recently got it from the Witch King. He robbed humans once on the road, wiped out two groups of pirates, and then came straight here without any savings at all.

In terms of defense, on the whole, the Black Ark does not have conventional offensive weapons such as ballistas, only the battle magic released by the mage tower, and then it carries many sea beasts and troops. From this point of view, it is a bit like an aircraft carrier.

It's just that while it is powerful, it also has some disadvantages, not only in terms of energy consumption, but also in daily protection.

With an area of ​​420 square kilometers, the required garrison troops are naturally in units of [-], and the biggest weakness of the Black Ark is actually air defense.

Under normal circumstances, Marus himself was in charge, and there were many black dragons, manticores, and thousands of harpies as the air force.

Coupled with the existence of a large number of black sharp crossbowmen, Medusa and many mages, this is naturally not a big problem.

But this time Marus mobilized some of his troops, and when he met Li Wei and the others, he was almost driven straight into the core area.

If the owner of the black ark is changed to Li Wei later, then he will naturally be the one who should be troubled. He doesn't have so many troops.

For the time being, he didn't have any good solution to the problem. If the hostile army invaded, he would naturally either use the superior force to crush it, or use a lot of battle magic to bombard it indiscriminately to prevent the opponent from approaching.

But if a small number of elite assaults, such a large area will be impossible to defend.

Unless, ask Lilith and other goddesses to help with some protective measures.

Marus enshrines Kane and other gods here. If Lilith, Moonbow, and Illidan are replaced, will there be some special effects?
But Li Wei soon lost the energy to think about it, because Khaleda's fleet arrived.

After receiving her order, her subordinates did not chase after the fleeing dark elves, but rushed to meet with them immediately.

The task of chasing them is all handed over to those god-chosen heroes.

Li Wei selectively opened a gap and put her fleet in. Inside the black ark, there are also multiple ports where warships can be parked.

Immediately after, Su Mi also came in with a small number of remnants of the Shui tribe.

In the first half of the war, neither she nor her little sisters suffered any losses.

But after confronting the black ark, the situation took a turn for the worse. After a few battle spells, the sea was full of corpses.

Now a group of people add up, and the total number of troops is less than four figures, which makes all of them frown.

In order to repay Li Wei's kindness, they were indeed ready to pay the price, but they never expected that the price would be so high that they would not even be given a chance to repent or hesitate.

Li Wei could only comfort her a little bit, as long as he followed him, he would definitely not treat them badly.

Now that the black ark has been obtained, it is time to employ people.

It just so happens that this special situation is also very suitable for aquariums like Su Mi and the others.

In the sea, there is absolutely no shortage of monsters and battles, and the Black Ark is undoubtedly a very stable and reliable rear.

The only problem is that if Su Mi makes a choice, their dependence on Li Wei will be very, very high.

If they still have ambitions and want to get their own town, it may not be easy for them to get a chance, because the Black Ark needs them as defenders all the time.

But that would require them to discuss and think carefully, and if there is a gain, there will be a loss, and Li Wei will not force them.

He then teamed up with Khaleda to place most of the troops in defensive positions.

Since he is not a dark elf, and has not been recognized by the Dark Elf Witch King and Witch Queen, Li Wei is indeed unable to restore the normal movement of the Black Ark for the time being, but in other respects, there are almost no restrictions.

After all, no matter what, he has indeed officially occupied this place now.

It's just that Khalida's troops also suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, and now there are only about one-third of them left, which is not enough to defend such a large black ark.

The Black Ark can now accommodate 20 troops, and Khalida's troops have just met about 5% of the requirements.

Even after learning of Li Wei's needs, she immediately asked the priests to send a message to the city of Lamia, and asked the priests who stayed behind to wake up the troops buried in the ground of the city of Lamia as quickly as possible, but that still required a certain amount of time.

So she temporarily mobilized the defenders from other towns and asked them to rush over as soon as possible.

Li Wei is very grateful for this, because it means that her town will become weak in a short time.

As for the various death guards and dragon golems that Li Wei spent so long accumulating, even if he activated more than [-]% of them on the spot, it is still a drop in the bucket.

There is no way, the area of ​​the black ark is too large.

After another period of time, after Li Wei prioritized the deployment of his existing troops in some of the most important places, those deserters were also chased a long distance away.

The system officially reminded him that this large-scale naval battle was over, and he won another hearty victory, gaining 3 points of fame.

Cindy, Elegy and others have upgraded one after another, and their strength has been further improved, but it is Donna who has really gained the most.

Because after so many battles, she was finally promoted to Legendary Hero.

She did not receive additional attribute enhancements, but the bonuses to health and mana based on physique and intelligence were doubled again, and the enhancement of the upper limit of life magic became +1.

In this way, 1 point of her physique can increase her health by 30 points, plus other bonuses, as well as the enhancement of magic such as false life, when she enters the battle, she can easily break through 500 points.

As long as there is no surprise attack by a particularly powerful enemy, the safety of life can still be guaranteed.

It's just that the system reminded him at the same time that she has reached her current limit, and she needs to increase her combat level to 21 and become a legend before she can make further breakthroughs.

Yes, it's just possible.

Li Wei felt that in addition to level, talent, record, or passing certain trials may be required to upgrade the quality to legend.

If you think about it, you can understand that the level of a scum like evil gallant is legendary, but the quality of a hero is obviously not.

But the Dragon Prince, Teclis, Black-Arkhan, and even Khalida must all be double legends.

Each of them is a well-known figure in the main world.

As for the loot, since the black ark was newly acquired by Marus, there weren't many things.

The equipment dropped by ordinary dark elves is not very attractive to Li Wei now.

On the contrary, Lunara's seized equipment is quite good, a legendary crimson armor, which is basically similar to the super powerful enhanced version of the Vanguard Shield in Alduin's hand.

In addition to strong defense, it can also provide various effects such as life limit, damage block and life recovery.

Naturally, Li Wei handed over the Elegy, who had the strongest melee ability on his side. Although Cindy often charged into battle, she also possessed a variety of healing skills, so she didn't really need it.

Then there is an epic blade of dark frost, which can attack with dark and frost attributes at the same time, and has a chance to slow down the target.

Since it is a one-handed sword, it is not suitable for elegy, and the dark attribute is not suitable for Alduin as a paladin, so Li Wei threw it to the magic swordsman Norchon.

Since changing jobs, his upgrade speed has increased several times, and he has also shown keen insight and certain command ability.

It is foreseeable that as long as he is trained for a while, he can also become a general of Li Wei.

An Adrazer amulet has no attributes of its own, and only comes with an active skill-Adrazer's Strike.

Edresser is the Lord of Blades among the elves and gods, and the Dragon Prince once had a good impression of him before.

It's just that he himself is not strong, he is just a weak divine power, and he doesn't have any powerful priesthood.

In addition, it is a chaotic camp itself, and it seems that it has not thought about vigorously developing the church, so its sense of existence is very weak.

In fact, this is also the status quo of many weaker and chaotic camps with weak divine power.

Because they are limited by their priesthood, domain, background and many other aspects, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult for them to grow, and they simply fail.

The power that different priesthoods can provide, as well as the heights they can achieve in the future, are really quite different.

But this piece of equipment bearing his name is not bad.

After activation, all attacks within 30 seconds will be equipped with broken armor (-20 defense, lasts 10 seconds), and strengthen 20 points of attack power and 10% attack speed.

This reverse is basically equivalent to increasing the attack power by 40 points.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Wei handed it back to Sonia.

Although this girl lost the legendary long whip, she was once very discouraged, but recently she has become more diligent. She has shown outstanding talents in swordsmanship and archery, which can be regarded as a little reward for her.

Although the others failed to obtain equipment of this quality, there were also a lot of various gadgets and gold coins.

Li Wei is still very generous to his outstanding subordinates.

Whether it's buying equipment, recruiting arms, or simply entertaining, they do need a lot of gold coins.

After finishing these things, Khaleda also got new information.

Some God's Chosen heroes have detected the situation in the Fear Rock. The dark elves are fighting against some disgusting demons covered with green pustules, and they seem to have fallen into a serious disadvantage.

In fact, as soon as he heard this, the person who had rescued Lord Krocca with Li Wei before had some physical discomfort.

Those Nurgle demons are not very difficult to kill. Their combat power is not much stronger than other demons of the same level. The key is that the process is too disgusting.

In addition, much of the land on Dread Rock has turned green.

But what it represented was not the crispness of the grass and trees, but full of corruption and ominousness, and even the air exuded a stench.

There are even occasional huge cysts on the ground, once pierced, it will cause a small-scale plague infection to the surrounding troops, causing corrosion and poisoning.

Hearing this, Li Wei and Khaleda glanced at each other, becoming more and more sure that the land there had obviously been corrupted by Nurgle demons.

Although I don't know what kind of deal Marus and the Nurgle demon made before, the two sides joined forces to destroy the lizardmen of the spirit of Tepok.

But now it is clear that at least one of the two parties no longer intends to keep their promises, so they start a war.

The question now is, what action will Li Wei and the others take, and wait for the two sides to finish fighting?
While Li Wei was discussing with Khaleda, Mikaela and others, suddenly, they looked in the direction of Fear Rock at the same time.

There, a completely white light descended from the sky. Even though they were separated by a long distance, they could still feel the vast and boundless power, and there was a faint familiar feeling in it.

After distinguishing for a while, Levi immediately confirmed: "It's the teleportation magic of the lizardman!"

Khalida was also a little surprised: "But it's such a large scale. Could it be that they teleported an entire army?"

The dirge next to it suddenly became a little excited: "They must want to avenge the dark elves!"

Although there are rumors that the spirits of Tepok are quite rebellious and do not obey Mazda's orders, they are still part of the lizard people.

It was impossible for the lizardmen not to react when they were beaten up for such a virtue.

Moreover, Lord Kroka is known as the incarnation of Taboc, so he must have some ties to the spirit of Taboc.

Regardless of whether it is public or private, the revenge of the lizard people is a matter of course.

Similarly, this is also a very good opportunity for our own side.

The three-party melee is the time when the snipe and the clam are fighting and the fisherman is benefiting.

As for the plague, Li Wei was not too worried, because the book of disaster avoidance in the nine volumes of Nagash happened to be its natural nemesis!

After understanding this, almost everyone became excited.

It's just that someone still needs to sit on the black ark, waiting for the reinforcements from the city of Lahmia and the high elves.

In order to protect the black ark as much as possible, Li Wei has also sent an invitation for help to the Dragon Prince and the dreamer of the sea through Mikaela.

The main force of the Dragon Prince is still attacking Longya Mountain, but it is still possible to allocate a part to guard the black ark.

There is not much hope for the sea dreamers, because they suffered a wave of losses before. Although that was not all their strength, they also had other tasks.

The dragon prince is attacking the dark elves, and he doesn't want pirates or other evil aliens to disturb them. This is what the sea dreamer needs to do.

Li Wei did not directly appoint candidates, but asked everyone to recommend themselves first.

So Alduin, who has always been very silent and pragmatic, stepped forward first.

To be honest, Li Wei was somewhat surprised, because judging from the character of the other party, the hatred for demons should be far greater than the aversion to filth.

Alduin shouldn't be afraid of the stench and filth of the Nurgle demon, right?

But soon Li Wei knew that he was wrong. Alduin actually had other plans. He wanted to bring all the dragon descendants from his hometown.

The island of Bronze Dragonborn is about 50 miles away from Bitao Village under Li Wei's command, which is not too far away.

Originally, relying on the 15th-level bronze dragon hero on the island and the protection of the high elves, they were considered safe.

But after following Levi, after going through this series of battles, Alduin is not so stupid.

Among other things, if Malus took the black ark to attack, even if the high elves wanted to protect them, they might not have time to do anything.

In his view, the best and safest way at present is naturally to directly join Li Wei's command.

But he is not particularly good at eloquence, and he doesn't want to deceive his own people, so he needs to learn more about the black ark first, and then think about how to say it.

Li Wei is naturally in favor of this. The average strength and potential of the Dragonborn race are better than ordinary humans or elves.

It's just that he didn't expect much from Alduin's approach.

They have been in the colony for so long, but they have not been recruited by the Dragon Prince. Obviously there are some special reasons.

As far as he knew, the relationship between the dragon gods and the elf gods had never been good.

The decline of the giant dragon god system at the beginning seems to have something to do with the elves and gods
But at this time, there is no need to pour cold water on him, just let him do his best.

Then there is Alyssa. Her personal combat effectiveness is not outstanding, but she is better in command and logistics. At present, she is more needed on the Black Ark.

Then Mikaela, Sally, Sepha and others also spoke one after another, expressing that they did not want to deal with the Nurgle demon.

Li Wei can also fully understand, because these fire mages are indeed very unsuitable.

The demon of Nurgle is already full of stench, and when the fire magic is heated up, the smell will often become more intense
Likewise, melee units are not suitable for engaging demons of Nurgle.

So in the end after a little discussion, Levi only brought Elegy, Cindy and Maltis.

He didn't even plan to bring the air force led by Donna and Kai Ruilian. Donna and Luna would undertake the patrol and security tasks together.

Even if he wants to go to Fear Rock to pick up cheap, he can still focus on the Black Ark.

And he didn't go this time to kill the other party, and they didn't have that ability.

According to intelligence, Malus still has 2 to 3 elite troops on Fear Rock, and there are even more Nurgle demons, which are simply overrun.

So let your main force stay in the black ark to prevent any possible enemy raids.

In fact, he didn't even want to bring the elegy, but there was no way, they had to fight side by side with him, and he could only let them.

As for Khalida, she also decided to take some generals and priests to fight together. The mummy's tolerance to smell is still very high.

It's just that in order to protect the black ark this time, they don't have many troops to command. This will be a very elite assault team with less than 20 people.

Just don't know how many chances can Marus, Nurgle Demon and Lizardman give them?
