Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 492 The Phantom Assassin
Although it was for revenge, because of the distance and time, in order to solve the matter as soon as possible, Li Wei still chose to use magic to teleport.

This makes the number of conventional troops accompanying them destined not to be too many.

Naturally, Penthesilea needless to say, this will be her first battle for Li Wei, and at the same time, she is also the strongest combat force on her side so far, so she must be accompanying her.

Then came Elegy, Cindy, Maltis, Sepha, Sally, two little female dragons, and Donna, Luna, and Kerilian who each brought a few personal guards.

Others, such as Alduin, Alyssa, and Lunara, must stay behind the Black Ark and Fear Rock.

It is also rare that Sonia did not go with her good sister Saifa.

On the one hand, it was because she had finally found her favorite way of fighting recently, that is bow and arrow, and it just so happened that Dread Rock also needed a commander in this area to stay behind.

On the other hand, it was her family who reconnected with her and sent people to Fear Rock.

Li Wei hasn't asked about the specifics, but judging by her mysterious appearance, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

Combining the two, when Sonia proposed to stay behind, Li Wei readily agreed.

And despite the secret advice from the blood elf heroes, Kyle still chose to go with Li Wei. Anyway, he has nothing to do in Fear Rock, so he might as well go outside to practice.

Although those heroes are helpless, they can only choose to obey and accompany them as guards.

After all, they are just subordinates who can make suggestions or opinions, but they cannot really make decisions for Kyle.

This made Li Wei completely understand that as long as Kyle can go with him, he can get some free cannon fodder every time.

Although these heroes are generally not high in level, they can still play a certain role with the blessing of equipment.

As for the army, Li Wei also chose the strongest lineup, including King Kong equipped with metal weapons and armor, mountain giants, hybrid giants, and multi-headed feather snakes, and then some auxiliary units such as priests and druids.

The total number of them this time is only a little over one hundred, but their combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.

And because Li Wei's summoning spells have become increasingly powerful, Sepha and Sally have also obtained some of the summoning authority given by the Messenger of Mercy.

In addition, there are a large number of inactive death guards in everyone's space rings. As long as the war requires them, their total strength can be multiplied several times at any time.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the early morning, Lunara ran over excitedly to report to Li Wei, saying that the black ark suddenly became normal, as if the restrictions imposed by the Witch King had completely disappeared. Same.

Although this is very incredible and has never happened in history, it is undoubtedly a great thing for them.

From then on, as long as Li Wei prepares sufficient troops and energy, the black ark can truly travel across the world, instead of being placed in the port as an oversized decoration.

However, Li Wei knew that Lilith must have been here, and with her strength, it was completely impossible for Lunara to detect it.

But this is indeed a good thing, as long as there are enough troops, he may not be able to send it out to do something.

For example, march east.

Snake people and Nibon people come out every day to be pirates, so he can do the opposite and make trouble for them.

The interior of these two forces is not monolithic. As long as they do not openly declare war on them collectively, but choose to stand in line or support agents, they are likely to successfully participate.

Even if the gods behind them know that this is a trick, mortals who think they are smart can't help but seek skins from tigers.

If the act of looting is turned into an internal dispute, the impact of the matter will be much smaller.

Since it is unclear how much time it will take, and Li Wei also intends to visit the tomb kings around the destination and the wood elves in the Orion camp, Li Wei told Alyssa and the others a few more words .

During his absence, he mainly focused on defense. If he really encountered a strong enemy invasion, in addition to sending him information, he could also ask for help from Double Moon World and Ostark City.

Thanks to the Messenger of Mercy, both places have established a stable teleportation circle with Fear Rock, and it will be very convenient to support each other.

Furthermore, god-chosen heroes such as the Sun Knight, and even the shield dwarves in the Underdark can also dispatch a certain amount of troops.

If it doesn't work, Khalida and Dragon Prince are still watching and helping each other on the other side. In short, even if Li Wei is not there for a short time, there will be no major problems in the defense of Fear Rock.

Seeing that the troops were about to leave, the fleet patrolling the sea reported that a new visitor had arrived. The other party claimed to have accepted Illidan's order and came to serve Li Wei.

Li Wei immediately knew that this should be the assassin Illidan had mentioned before.

A few minutes later, more than a dozen female night elves with exquisite figures and special dresses gradually came into view.

The leader is wearing a green battle armor with a cloak on the outside. The edge of the cloak is a series of crescent-shaped sharp blades. It doesn't look like a pure decoration.

Under the owl-shaped helmet, apart from a pair of lavender lips, there are also sharp and resolute eyes.

Then came the long ponytail, a pair of small wing-like decorations on the shoulders, and a half-meter-diameter ring full of sharp blades in his hand.

The troops behind her are uniform standard light armor and throwing blades almost like a full moon.

But unlike the huntresses under Luna's command, there is still a little moonlight floating among the weapons on their bodies, and they don't carry spare flying blades on them.

This seems to indicate that their weapons are very special.

Luna behind her was a little surprised and said, "My lord, it's the Phantom Assassin-Mortride, and her Watcher troops."

Luna quickly explained to Li Wei that the Watchers are a special force of the night elves.

In addition to serving as prison guards, they are also responsible for hunting down, hunting and sealing all kinds of evil creatures, including but not limited to ratmen, green skins, demons and devils, etc.

Part Huntress and Assassin, they are a combination of strength and agility, often blending easily into their surroundings.

The weapon in his hand has also been specially forged, and now it is blessed by the Moon Bow Goddess.

After consuming a little mana, a magic flying blade can fly out with every swing, so they don't need to carry too many spare weapons with them.

If they fight at night or in a moonlit environment, their strength will be further improved.

The Phantom Assassin - Mertrik Shadowsong, was from the Warden Shadowsong Clan.

She abandoned the moon-shaped flying blade and turned to specialize in melee combat. In a very short period of time, she became the only outstanding assassin in the entire night elves.

Not only because of her family heritage, but also because of her hard work, more importantly, her talent is excellent, and she even has the ability of space.

The space spells commonly used by mages on the battlefield are usually Tier 4 magic arbitrary doors, and the more partial ones may be the King's Chariot Transposition mastered by Li Wei and Jianshi Yakong.

Again, it might be the third-order flash of magic. At the cost of reducing one's own spellcasting ability, flashing back and forth between the main plane and the different-dimensional plane, the enemy's attack will have a greater chance of making mistakes.

But for ordinary mages, these spells require casting time.

But Mortride's flickering surprise attack was instantaneous in the true sense, without any warning beforehand.

And after appearing, the special power of space will greatly enhance her attack speed in a short period of time.

In addition, she can also throw the suffocating blade short dagger with slowing poison, and the throwing knives at the hem of the cloak can be launched to form a whirlwind of knives.

And because she specializes in assassination and is good at attacking weak points, her normal attack critical strike rate is extremely high.

This made her success rate 15% in many pursuits and capture missions in the past, even though her level was not too high, less than [-].

Ordinary enemies not only couldn't run away from her, but they couldn't beat her at all.

Hearing this, not only Li Wei is very interested in her, but also Elegy and others, because she is the assassin unit that our side currently lacks most.

Luna's job is as a Sentinel, not an Assassin.

The strength of Javelins is too low. Once they are discovered by the enemy, they can be easily killed by the opponent.

The shadow elements are strong enough, but apart from the smoother communication with Li Wei, the summoner, other people basically cannot communicate with them normally.

Moreover, their wisdom and ability to adapt to circumstances are not very good.

So no matter how you look at it, they really urgently need talents like Mortride.

The only thing that puzzled Li Wei was why did Illidan show a proud expression before?

Mortride's strength and honor were all created by her efforts, and had nothing to do with him who didn't know where his body was lying before. It is unlikely that he was proud of her strength.

Could it be because he had a grudge against her?Sending her to him is considered exile in disguise?
But the difference in age between the two of them is many times, even if the demon hunter doesn't look like a good person, Mortride is not stupid enough to offend him, right?
After much deliberation, Li Wei can only think that it may be that among the ancestors of Mortride, there was an existence that had conflicts with Illidan.

Now the ashes of the other party may be gone, but Illidan is still a god, and he can order the other party's descendants at will. It is understandable for him to be a little proud.

The leader of the Night Elf Watchers - the Warden, is a family-inherited official position. You can go back and check if there is any powerful existence in the special family of Shadowsong that can make Illidan remember it until now.

However, Illidan should not be so narrow-minded.

In addition to being part of the deal, he should also feel that following behind Li Wei will give full play to her strength.

Moreover, her profession is a Phantom Assassin, and what she is about to find is the lost item of the Phantom Goddess, Laila. How could this be just a mere coincidence?
However, Lilith didn't say anything before, and can only say that these two guys are all riddlers.

While speaking, Mortride had brought the watchmen to Li Wei's body, and saluted him with one hand on his chest.

"By the order of the patron saint of the night elves, Mortride swears allegiance to Lord Levi Goethe."

The other elves following her naturally did the same.

Li Wei raised his eyebrows secretly. Hearing this and watching her actions, he knew that the other party might be somewhat unwilling.

He stayed well in the clan, but he was sent out to serve a high elf who had never been in contact with him before. Anyone who changed them would have a temper.

Even though Li Wei is now considered a well-known figure, Mertridy is also not a miscellaneous soldier, and she will have her own arrogance.

But that doesn't matter, as long as she is willing to work for her sincerely, there are plenty of opportunities and methods to completely convince her.

Because she is just an outstanding young genius, not a veteran powerhouse, but Li Wei is a level 19 mage and the prince of Caledon.

So he didn't show it on the face, but said rather enthusiastically: "You have come from a long way, you have worked hard, and your strength will definitely not be wasted."

Saying this, he also quickly looked at the opponent's attribute panel.

Currently, Mortride's level is 14/3. With such a low campaign level, it can be seen that she doesn't like commanding troops, and prefers to assassinate alone or perform tasks in a small team.

In terms of attributes, she is mainly agile, supplemented by strength, and her physique and intelligence are relatively low.

Even with the bonus of an epic hero, the upper limit of life is less than 300, and the defense and magic resistance are also very ordinary.

It can be said that in a large-scale battlefield, she will be seriously injured if she hits a few area-of-effect spells.

But these shortcomings are not enough to cover up her advantages. In addition to a lot of skills related to reconnaissance, stealth and assassination, as well as the skills Luna just mentioned, she also has two special skills.

The blurry phantom can make her figure difficult to see clearly. Even if she stands still, the enemy's attack will have a high chance of missing. This is essentially her partial application of the power of space.

Then came a super skill that even Luna didn't fully understand-Gift of Relief.

As her level increases, her normal physical attacks will cause more damage when a critical strike occurs. Currently, she is level 14, and this multiplier is 3.5 times.

When he saw this, Li Wei was a little surprised.

If she is equipped with some good equipment, and her flashing sneak attack strengthens her attack speed, if she is lucky enough, a tank fighter of the same level may not be able to hold it for a few seconds, right?

Crisp is really brittle, but the output is also really high, a typical glass cannon, but if it can match her with phantom divinity.
Lila's attack power is at the bottom of all the gods, but the phantom power, whether it is support or survival, is undoubtedly very strong.

After asking a few more casual questions about the journey, Li Wei also took out a bunch of equipment from the space ring and handed it to her.

Except for the weapon called the Judgment Wheel in her hand and the epic cloak of the watchman, her other equipment is not very good.

Although the best things in Li Wei's hands have been allocated to Elegy and others, they are much better than those on her.

Then there are some consumable props, including various strengthening and recovery potions, as well as scrolls to enhance various abilities and weapon enchantments.

Assassin is such a profession, I am afraid that Mage is affirmative, and secondly, it is not very good at dealing with incorporeal creatures such as ghosts, so it can only be compensated by foreign objects.

Mortride's expression moved slightly, she glanced at it, and without saying anything, she directly took it.

Then she saluted lightly again to show her gratitude, but this time, she was a little more serious.

After putting it on, she didn't wait for Li Wei to speak, and she took the initiative to ask if Li Wei had any important tasks in the future.

After all, seeing how they were all ready to go, one knew that they must have something to do.

Of course, Li Wei would not hide anything from Mortetti who had become his subordinate, and he explained it clearly to the other party in just a few words.

Now Mortride was visibly excited, and she offered to hunt down the marsh-dwelling monster together.

In addition to the hatred of evil, it is also because the other party's nickname - Mist Walker, seriously desecrated the Mist Lady - Lad Lily.

Seeing the other party's appearance as a little girl, Li Wei has almost figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Probably because she was a crispy assassin herself, Mortride admired Lilith's vest very much. It was covered by mist, and her survival and ambush abilities, etc., would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced by it.

Coupled with some of Illidan's ideas, she was thrown to Li Wei.

No, or more than that.

The night elves originally didn't have their own gods, and Mortride was also the only phantom assassin in the history of her clan. Where did she get the opportunity to change jobs?
Considering Lilith's habit of looking for talents all over the world and investing in them, Li Wei felt that she might have accepted Lilith's power or knowledge unconsciously, which is why she has such a high opinion of Lilith.

Li Wei asked a few more words, where she originally wanted to go.

Then it was not surprising to learn that she actually wanted to seek refuge with the cruel one-Etharion at first, because the other party was the chosen one of Lady Misty.

She didn't change her mind until she received clear instructions from Illidan.

But now it seems that this is also a very good choice.

Many people around her were quite surprised by her bold speech.

Li Wei didn't take it seriously, no matter what she thought before, she has now become her subordinate.

Lunara fought with herself before, but now she has become a workaholic, working hard for the development of Dread Rock?
And he also admired the straightforward character of the other party.

As soon as the incident happened suddenly, but because Mortride acted decisively, it didn't take a quarter of an hour for them to start again.

Following the spellcasting of the bear-headed envoys, they soon came to a dry desert.

Normally, the teleportation techniques of the bear-head angels have certain deviations, but because they have been summoned by him so many times and participated in many battles, their strength has been improved to varying degrees.

In addition, there is Bill, a Tier 6 elite, as the leader, so their maximum error is only 800 meters, and they will draw in minutes.

This kind of error is actually very rare for the transmission of at least thousands of miles.

Li Wei, Saifa, Sally and other mages immediately began to summon the celestial creatures and let them start scouting around.

According to the wing elves, the teleportation location is about ten miles away from the oasis they once occupied.

I don't know if the power of the swamp monster has expanded further after so many days have passed.

It stands to reason that there are deserts all around them, so they should live in the oasis.

But no one knows how powerful and crazy they have become.

Apart from the possibility of gaining the power of Laila, some surviving winged elves have used many words such as devil, terrible and terror to describe each other more than once.

Not only because they are indeed very ugly and vicious, but also because of their brutal and bloodthirsty behavior.

It's a pity that the wing elves are too good at themselves. They only know that each other is very powerful, but whether it is related to the devil or the four gods of chaos, they can't tell at all.

Luna and Kairilian also went to scout with their respective teams, and even Donna sent her big cats to join in the operation.

Since becoming the commander of the flying unit, she has had a rare opportunity to fight side by side with Li Wei, Elegy, Cindy, etc.

Penthesilea alone rode a tyrannosaurus of the 7th rank, standing on a high place and watching.

She has never been to the desert before, and she only heard that this is the territory of the Tomb Kings, so she wonders if she will encounter them this time?

Sphinx or something, it should be very enjoyable to fight, right?
On the contrary, after looking around for a week, Mortride was quite at a loss.

She is the phantom assassin who is best at fighting in complex terrain such as forests, because the environment there can better cover her figure.

But where can she hide in this barren desert?
Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to wait. Kerilian and Luna sent information successively.

There are indeed a large number of swamp monsters in the oasis, but the environment of the oasis itself has been seriously polluted.

Now there is a very strange scene, all the trees and land, etc., present a black, translucent shadow form.

It can be said that even if they take down there, it is absolutely impossible for the wing elves to come back.

At the same time, those Marsh Dwelling Monsters also have a similar appearance. They were mostly gray-white and gray-green in color, but now they have also turned black.

And in many places, they also found traces of demons.

Then, in the other direction, there seemed to be a war going on in a city of the Tomb Kings.

According to the previous information, it should belong to the city of the Tomb King - Lemizazi - Bagh City.

The Tomb King is not a legendary legend like Khalida or Settra the Immortal.

But because he lived long enough, it took him thousands of years to reach the legendary level abruptly.

Li Wei has never heard that the opponent has defeated any strong enemy in a duel, but it is said that this Lemizazi is quite capable in commanding the army, especially in terms of constructs.

Although it is incomparable with the Immortal Emperor, but with the legion formed by the guards of the gods, he successfully repelled Nagash's army and regained the lost ground, and was rewarded by the Immortal Emperor for this.

Like Li Wei, he is good at making and driving these special constructs. Li Wei thought about it before, if he has the opportunity, he can communicate with him.

But because the distance is relatively far away, they don't know the details of the warring parties for the time being.

After listening to the whole content, after thinking about it for a while, Li Wei couldn't help frowning slightly, the shape of the shadow made him have some bad guesses.

"Are there fire demons among them?"

Kai Ruilian shook her head: "The ones I noticed are the more conventional hell dogs, three-headed hell dogs, horned demons, horned demon warlords, and occasionally a few berserkers, but they add up to less than 100."

"The number of those marsh dwelling monsters may be relatively large, about three hundred or so. There are not too dense or tall trees in that oasis, and there should not be too many enemies hidden in it."

Hearing this, many people showed eagerness to try.

Although the swamp monster can be regarded as a powerful monster race, it can generally have the strength of level 4 after adulthood. It is famous for its brute strength, rough skin and thick flesh, and the talent of spreading mist.

But if there is only this amount, even if you add those demons, you probably won't be able to last 10 minutes in front of their elite troops.

Li Wei shook his head: "According to common sense, it is so, but what if those demons have incorporeal bodies?"

Elegy and others have no clue yet, but Cindy and Sepha's eyes are brightened. Due to the recent actions of the four gods of chaos, they have ruthlessly supplemented some knowledge about demons.

"Brother Li Wei, do you suspect that the Shadow Demon Queen Rex Sally is behind this?"

"That's right!"

The Shadow Demon Queen, as the name suggests, she and her most elite demons all present a black translucent incorporeal appearance, just like what Kerilian and the others scouted at the oasis.

She is a special and mysterious demon. As the 49th layer of the abyss, the lord of the desert country-Satonnon, she doesn't care about mortals.

She is also one of the very few demon lords who don't want to invade the main world to grab the souls of mortals.

She basically chooses to trade with other demon lords, hag traders, etc. to get the souls and other resources she needs.

Selling a large number of demon troops is another characteristic of her.

But even so, how could she still sit still when encountering the lost things of the phantom goddess-Leila?

Originally, her country was also a desert environment, and this is simply the most suitable battlefield for her.

She is also used to living in the dark and shadows, which is very compatible with the nature of the marsh monster, and also with the phantom divinity.

Moreover, there have been rumors recently that many demon lords of the bottomless abyss, including the King of Ghouls, are planning to become gods.

It is said that they obtained the secret of conferring godhood even in the body of a demon from the four gods of chaos.

Although Li Wei thinks this is probably nonsense, because according to Lilith, the four gods of chaos are all demons formed by the condensed emotions, and only four of them are of the same kind in the whole world.

It is a completely different existence from the guy in the bottomless abyss.

But the temptation to become a god is too great, and this does not prevent the demon lords from taking action.

It just so happens that such an opportunity is in front of us. Although Li Wei cannot be completely sure unless he actually sees the Shadow Demon Queen appear, her suspicion is undoubtedly the biggest.

Since she seems to have never fought against other powerful beings, it is completely impossible to speculate on her true strength based on past records.

More importantly, she is also one of the few steadfast allies of Graz'zt, one of the giants of the bottomless abyss, because they are brothers and sisters.

Each of their hands and feet has 6 fingers or toes.

Although blood relationship is of no use to demons, past history has proved that the alliance between the two of them is indeed unshakable.

This gave Li Wei a headache, because if the other party was really the Shadow Demon Queen, he would offend two demon lords at once.

The strength of the demon lords also varies. They are not at the same level as the previous kings of ghouls and gnolls.

But the matter has come to this point, and he has no better choice. In order to cultivate Mortride, even if there is a conflict with them, what's the problem?
Unless they come directly with real bodies or projections, ordinary demon troops are just food for us to become stronger.

"Attention all, start casting summoning magic, activate the death guard, we must defeat each other as quickly as possible, and then go to Bag City to find out!"
