Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 529 The Challenge Invitation of the Dancer of War

Before dark, Li Wei and others successfully arrived at a small town in the north of Bafeng Mountain.

With the massive counterattack of the dwarves, they rarely encountered green skins along the way, but a large number of dwarves went south.

Judging from the direction they were heading, a considerable part of them were probably going to Bafeng Mountain.

This also made Li Wei feel a little bit emotional. The green-skinned attack was so fierce at the beginning. For ordinary dwarves, it seemed that there was a crisis of subjugation and extinction at any time.

But when the dwarf gods made their move, the situation immediately took an astonishing reversal.

If you don't become a god, you are just an ant after all, nothing more than big and small.

However, under such circumstances, the green-skinned gods, who are famous for their short temper and unwillingness to suffer, have never made a move. What restrained them?
Since Bellegar and the others had already greeted him, and also gave Li Wei a token of passage that was recognized by the Angrund clan, Iron Peak Castle, the High King, and the Butcher King, the local dwarves were also very enthusiastic. received them.

After a night's rest, Li Wei started to prepare for the meeting with the dancers.

The invitation letter has quota and level restrictions. Except for Li Wei himself, he can only bring 10 companions who are at least level 10 or level 7. This makes it impossible for Li Wei to lead a large force to enter.

And if the war dancers are located in some special small planes, maybe Li Wei's summoning spells will also be affected by this.

So Li Wei still carefully selected the list of participants.

Considering the abilities of the Dance Dancer, people like Donna, Kai Ruilian, and Luna, who are mainly long-distance, don't need to go there.

Even if she was as strong as Donna, unless she used the Silver Maiden's professional spells, she would basically have no chance of winning. The Battle Dancer's restraint on the shooter was really too great.

Although Donna and the others felt a little regretful, they couldn't force this kind of thing, and when Li Wei and the others were invited to leave, the troops remaining in the town also needed to be in command, and they happened to be in charge of this matter.

So the main force of the next battle will be the three legends, Penthesilea, Khalida, and the Red Prince, followed by Elegy, Cindy, Mikaela, Sepha, Maltis, Mortris, and Winnie the Pooh.

It is worth mentioning that in the identification of the system, Little Zeus is still a special magic, not a summon or pet, so you can go together.

As for the Crystal Vanguard, probably because it is essentially a clone of a goddess, in terms of power or authority, it is higher than the invitation of the war dancers, so she can also go.

This is very good news for Levi.

Now the two sides have had an open and honest talk, and Celekite also formally met with Lilith last night.

Li Wei is not yet clear about the specific agreement reached between the two parties, but Celekite has already transferred her body to the vicinity of Lilith's kingdom of God, and the phantom goddess-Laila who is disguised as a worker for Lilith, Made a neighbor.

In this case, she will naturally go all out to help Li Wei.

And if she can really gain something, Li Wei will definitely not let her work for nothing, which is clear to both parties.

It's just that after using a lot of buffs and protective magics and making all the preparations, when Li Wei chose to inspire the invitation, he was a little surprised to find that a portal completely made of flames opened.

Even before actually entering it, the scorching breath and a bit of sulfur smell rushed towards the face, and the opposite seemed to be a plane dominated by the fire element.

Seeing this, Mikaela and Sefa couldn't help but look at each other, both dumbfounded.

For them, it is possible to gain great growth by going there, but if they encounter enemies there, they can basically just watch.

Due to the restraint of attributes, the three magics of water, ice, and fire basically cannot play any role in the plane dominated by the fire element.

For Mikaela, the only thing that can barely be used is probably the explosion of Yang Yan.

Although Saifa also has the four elements of ice, fire, wind, and thunder at the same time, she can be called an all-rounder, but she is still a little lower in level, and she can't play any role.

So they all prepared to speak at the same time, wanting to quit by themselves and let Li Wei be replaced by other candidates.

But before they could say anything, Li Wei waved his hand to stop them: "We are a group, we must trust our companions."

Of course he can understand what they can think of, but this is also a rare opportunity for the two of them to practice.

Especially Saifa, as the reincarnation of Mage Yufeng who is best at fire magic, it can be said that her breakthrough is today.

Elegy next to him also smiled and said, "That's right, Queen Khalida, Sister Peng, and Prince Red are here, you two just need to watch the fun."

Penthesilea naturally nodded seriously, and Khalida also smiled.

If it was an ordinary tomb king, with their mummy bodies, survival alone would be a problem, let alone fighting, but she was completely different, and she was even more grateful to have met Li Wei now.

But the Red Prince felt helpless.

He is the leader of the knights and a master of swords who grew up in the country of ice and snow. He mostly relies on the power of ice to attack and defend. Now he is walking to fight in a world dominated by fire elements. He may not be as good as Elegy, who is covered in luxurious equipment. ah.
Li Wei has already talked about this, so Mikaela and Sefa will naturally stop being hypocritical, and they just nodded seriously.

At the same time, I also made up my mind to face the next battle with all my strength. Even if I couldn't help, at least I couldn't hold back.

After casting some protective magic specifically for the fire element, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction when he saw that no one had any objections, and then he asked Winnie the Pooh to serve as the Red Prince's mount for the time being.

Kislev's most powerful unit is, of course, the bear cavalry.

Winnie the Pooh, who had been bribed secretly, roared immediately, returned to a three-meter-long appearance, and walked up to the Red Prince.

The Red Prince was overwhelmed with pleasant surprises. Of course, he had never imagined this before, but it was nothing more than being manipulated by the horned rat before. After returning to normal, Winnie the Pooh also had self-respect, so it was impossible for him to ride again.

And if there is a real fight, he may not be able to beat the opponent.

Although he knew that it was only because of the needs of this battle that Li Wei temporarily allocated it to him, he might not have a chance in the future.

But this feeling is still great!
Looking at the grateful Red Prince who was busy thanking him, Li Wei was also very satisfied, and this time it can be regarded as a complete mobilization of the enthusiasm of the Red Prince.

Winnie the Pooh's role in the team is a meat shield, so will you know something about yourself next?

Facts have proved that the Red Prince is indeed not an idiot. Without Li Wei asking, he took the initiative to cross the portal and went to investigate first.

Then Li Wei, Khalida and others also filed in, Mikaela and Sefa were in the middle, and Penthesilea and Maltis were at the end.

After stepping through the gate of flames, wherever one can see, whether it is the sky or the earth, it is full of fiery red.

Hot magma and erupting volcanoes can be seen everywhere, and above the sky, there are thick clouds of fire like hills.

The ground is not so much hot rocks as it is a flat plate of flames, and whether it is a river or a quagmire, it is essentially hot magma.

From time to time, clouds of high-temperature steam and raindrops made of hot ashes fell from the sky, and all of these were shining with fire.

Even though many kinds of magic had been used in advance, it was still inevitable to feel the blazing heat, and even the sight was slightly distorted.

Except for Li Wei, who didn't need to breathe, most of the others felt their noses and throats were burning. If a mortal stayed here, he might not survive half a minute, and would be roasted from the inside out.

Even the powerful Winnie the Pooh couldn't help shaking his head at this moment, and let out a series of low-pitched growls that represented discomfort.

Before encountering the enemy, Li Wei and the others were given a blow by the harsh environment here.

It is also a different plane, compared to here, the double moon world is like a paradise.

Li Wei, Mikaela, and Saifa used the flying technique for the friendly army for a while, so that everyone could leave the surface.

Then they all saw in the distance, in a place similar to the ruins of a temple, there were densely packed, at least fifty or sixty war dancers.

Probably because they have lived here for too long, they have also mutated accordingly. The weapons surrounding them are burning with a layer of flames, and the armor on their bodies is also black and red.

From the number of their weapons and the speed of flight, etc., Levi quickly came up with general information. These guys seem to be all 6th-level.

Among them, the four or five leaders, in addition to swords and so on, are surrounded by flame whips on the outside of their armor, and they are more likely to be Tier 7 units, or simply heroic units.

Even for the current own side, this is not a battle that can be easily won.

As for the favorite activation spells of the war dancers, Li Wei has not observed them yet, mainly because in this environment, it is too easy to hide some activation spells that are biased towards the fire attribute.

Farther away, there are vaguely some buildings similar to villages or towns, which may have been built by the aborigines here, but now they are all turned into ruins.

Because of their warlike nature, almost all of the war dancers belong to the neutral evil camp. Affected by the fiery flames here, their personality will definitely become more irritable.

It is estimated that the aborigines had a conflict with the war dancers, and then they were slaughtered.

Almost at the same time that Li Wei saw the other party, the war dancers also clearly noticed that they rearranged their formation a little, as if they were preparing for the upcoming battle.

Li Wei began to cast summoning magic. In this case, there was no need for him to summon the Tiger Envoy and other low- and middle-level celestial clans, because they couldn't bear the flames flowing on the ground without fighting.

At the very least, it must be the Archon of Justice and the Archon of Horn that can fly, or, the Ember Guard of the Flame Archon and the High-ranking Crimson Emissary, who are both fire attributes, must also get good buffs in this environment.

A few seconds later, Li Wei's conjecture was confirmed, and the strength of the latter two increased by [-] to [-] percent.

But at this moment, Celekite suddenly cried out in surprise: "Li Wei, something is wrong! Why do I feel the breath of many gods?"

"There are not only human gods, but also green-skinned gods!"

"Wait, Osiris, Seth, and Anhe from the Egyptian pantheon, Gruumsh, and Inavo from the green-skinned pantheon"

"Oh, God damn Ra, there is also the breath of Marduk and Gilgamesh, Li Wei, this is not the ordinary Fire Elemental World, but the site of the Orc War!"

Hearing this special word, Li Wei was also surprised.

The War of the Orc Gate was the largest and most intense war that broke out when the green-skinned pantheon was at its peak.

At that time, the green-skinned gods showed great power and directly destroyed the Egyptian gods, causing the rapid decline of the Egyptian gods, and also laid the groundwork for Nagash's troubles later.

But in fact, in addition to the green-skinned gods and the Egyptian gods, there is another small gods participating in the battle, that is, the Sumerian gods, or the Babylonian gods.

The Sumerian pantheon has Marduk, the king of kings, Negal, the lord of the underground world, Gilgamesh, the hero king, Gru, the lord of fire, Inanna, the goddess of war and love, and Inanna, the goddess of war and love. God of thunder and lightning - Raman and many other gods.

Their clergy can also be said to have many types and great potential, but unfortunately their strength is somewhat insufficient, and they obviously got some tricks before starting the war.

So the final result is that their entire pantheon is almost wiped out, and the only known survivors so far seem to be the God of Vengeance-Hall.

But the green-skinned gods have always wanted to kill the grass, and at the same time, the god of war in the Egyptian pantheon, Anhe, has always wanted to avenge Hall.

Before the Battle of the Orc Gate, the Sumerian pantheon was also at war with the Egyptian pantheon, and there was a big enmity between the two.

In addition, Hall's priesthood is basically useless waste, so under continuous blows, his current godhead level is only 2, which is a very weak god.

If he died, then the Sumerian pantheon would be completely destroyed.

However, although many gods were killed or defeated, the green-skinned gods at that time did not get much benefit.

In the end, it seems that only the god of war-Inafu gained some power and knowledge related to war, the god of sneak attack and thieves-Sagas slightly strengthened the ability of sneak attack, the god king-Gruumsh and the god of valor-Ba Gechu has been slightly strengthened in the field of strength.

But like Marduk's wind, rain, thunder and lightning, Gilgamesh's city, sports, and Gru's fire, etc., a series of very useful priesthoods and many fields, the green-skinned gods did not get it at all.

This may be because their priesthood and alignment seriously conflict with the Sumerian gods, so they cannot perfectly accommodate these powers, but Li Wei prefers that the green-skinned gods are likely to make wedding dresses for others.

Since that war, the green-skinned pantheon has been jointly besieged by humans, dwarves, and elves, until it fell into the current embarrassment. This actually explains part of the problem.

For many existences, if robbery or theft is carried out, the best solution for once and for all is not to return the property to the original owner, but to kill the original owner completely.

And the reason why this war is called the Beastman Gate is because a portal appeared in the green skin territory inexplicably.

A large number of green skins rushed into the territory of the Sumerian and Egyptian gods, massacred a large number of humans, destroyed countless towns and villages, and finally upgraded the war to a war of gods.

But let alone that time, even now, with the spellcasting ability of the green leather shamans, it is impossible for them to open a portal that can pass through tens of millions of troops.

If it wasn't for the actions of the green-skinned gods, then there must be a fourth party in the dark.

Immediately, Li Wei burst into ecstasy again. Judging from the characteristics of this plane, it is most likely that the power of Vulcan-Gru is left. He brought Mikaela and Sefa to come, and it was really the right time.

Mage Yufeng is powerful and mysterious, but the gods have never really paid attention to them, because they have no divinity and are always some mortal things.

But if Sepha can achieve divinity, and given enough time to grow, she may have the potential to become the most powerful Jade Phoenix mage ever!
Taking a deep breath, Li Wei tried to calm himself down, and turned to look at the war dancers.

They gathered here inexplicably, did they also notice the remnants of Vulcan's power?

Maybe there is no need to kill them all directly, you can try to find out some information.
While thinking about it, Li Wei also passed this information to Khalida and the others, while Celekite continued to feel the extremely weak fluctuations of divine power, trying to find the source and solve the key to the problem at once.

It's just that the war took place thousands of years ago, not to mention Celekite, who is in a bad state now, even if her original god-king Osiris came in person, it is impossible to find the trace so quickly.

Thinking of this, Li Wei saw a big man about four meters tall who stood out from the crowd among the dancers, and suddenly shouted:

"Are you the challengers this time? It does seem to have some strength."

"But you'd better move faster, the enemy is approaching, and we won't let you in the next massacre!"

As if in response to his words, a red torrent began to surge rapidly on the distant land. Looking carefully, it was actually an army composed of countless fire creatures.

In addition to various fire elements of different sizes and classes, there are also many races such as magma beasts, fire dwarves, fire elves, and salamanders.

Some of them are pure elemental creatures, while others are made up of flames and flesh and blood, but without exception, they are all biased towards the evil camp.

Even Martis, who has good eyesight, noticed many powerful high-ranking elves looking at her with hatred and greed in their eyes.

Even if this is not the real fire element world, these fire element creatures also don't like any cooler or flesh-and-blood creatures.

They are very fond of burning her, who is obviously the lowest body temperature as a death elf, so that she can be used to create more flames.

Seeing this appearance, Elegy and the others somewhat came to their senses. It seems that the challenge of the War Dancers is not to fight the War Dancers, but to compete for the number of enemies killed?

The war dancers are strong and there are a lot of them. For our own side, this is indeed a challenge.

But Li Wei, Khalida and the others felt a little weird. When did even the dancing dancer become so talkative?When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

So Li Wei did not rush to act, he just further confirmed: "What are the rules of the challenge? What can we gain?"

"The rules are simple, whoever kills enough and is strong enough is the winner."

"If you win, you can pick 10 brothers to leave with you, but if you lose."

The leader of the war dancer deliberately paused, and then laughed loudly: "Then, like those guys before, become the sacrifice of the Lord of Flame!"

"The Lord of Flames?"

Li Wei felt that he was gradually getting closer to the truth. The War Dancers could indeed be regarded as masters of both magic and martial arts, but they were completely incapable of opening channels connecting different planes.

Unless, there is someone else behind them, such as the so-called Lord of Flames.

"That's right, he is everywhere, he is omnipotent, and he is a god born of fire!"

The other war dancers around were also commotioning: "The Lord of Flames lives forever!"

Even though his whole body was completely covered by armor, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly, everyone could feel the enthusiasm of the war dancers at this time.

But Li Wei vaguely understood that these war dancers are so fanatical, and the other party still likes sacrifices, so if they are not evil gods, they may be some powerful devils or demons.

You can't completely trust what the Dance Dancer said just now, and you have to make more preparations in advance.

Penthesilea, the Red Prince and the others also looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether these war dancers were really stupid or fake.

They know that it should be smart to trick people over to serve as sacrifices.

However, before the horoscope was written, they almost exposed the whole truth. Is it certain that they can't use space magic to escape?
But then they received a message from Li Wei. Whether it was summoning spells or space magic, everything was completely normal. If there were any powerful enemies that they could not resist, they could still call for reinforcements.

Gods such as Lilith and Illidan, as well as powerful beings such as the Messenger of Mercy, are not suitable for frequently entering the main world.

But it is only limited to the main world. In this small alien plane, they have no taboos at all!
Even so, seeing the fire creatures in the distance getting closer, Li Wei still made his subordinates prepare to fight.

The War Dancers might be planning to regret it later and use their own side as a sacrifice, but these fire creatures want to kill their own side right now.

However, it is also a battle that needs to pay attention to strategy. Although these war dancers are strong, they should not be able to see the strength of Penthesilea, Khalida and others.

So Li Wei asked everyone to hide their strength for the time being, and use the summoned creatures as the main force.

Follow the wishes of those war dancers first, it is best to lure the Lord of Flame out, and then call for reinforcements to enter the field.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a look at the strength of these war dancers. In various stories and legends, they are all very powerful. Are they worthy of the name?

Their slightly conservative approach made the war dancers obviously look down on them, but the war dancers didn't express any opinions, they just let Li Wei and his actions go.

This naturally made Li Wei more certain that the war dancers must have evil intentions, and the sacrifice they said was really not a joke.

Soon thousands of fire creatures approached, and a big battle broke out in an instant.

Facing an enemy dozens of times larger than themselves, the war dancers did not retreat but advanced, and launched a charge on their own initiative.

But faster than them, is their magic - induced frenzy.

Many low-level salamanders and fire dwarves fell into a state of madness, and began to launch indiscriminate attacks on the surrounding friendly forces, causing a little chaos.

Then the war dancers used the blade barrier to try to divide the enemy army. At this time, they almost rushed over and could start a close combat.

But ordinary fighters are different, they don't stay in place all the time, not only to avoid being surrounded by the enemy, but also because as they run, the various weapons around them can keep flying up and down, cutting quickly along the way the body of the enemy.

The faster they run, the more damage they inflict on enemies.

From time to time, the War Dancer would pull out one or two of them and personally punish the enemy with death.

Except for a few elite fire elves who were able to resist, the rest of the enemy troops were basically killed by them like melons and vegetables, easily killing a large number of them.

The counterattacks of fire elements and others are often mostly resisted by the weapons surrounding the war dancers. Even if they can occasionally break through the siege, it is difficult to leave traces on their armor, let alone wounds.

This is almost a one-sided massacre, no wonder the war dancers will say that this is a massacre contest.

And what made Li Wei feel strange was that he searched back and forth several times, but he didn't find any suspected leader among the enemy army. It seemed that they spontaneously united together and started the war against the dancers.

Are they attracted by some force, or is it something the war dancers have done in the past?
This scene made the Red Prince complain: "Do they really need our help?"

"Maybe it's just cannon fodder to consume their strength."

Saying this, Li Wei threw a few fireballs at random, and found out that it didn't even cause any damage.

Even though his current magic penetration is not low, but in this special environment, low and mid-level fire magic is useless to the enemy, but it is too difficult to kill the enemy with this. It took a lot of effort.

Mikaela and Sefa next to each other shook their heads or spread their hands, indicating that they were really just watching the fun this time.

They also tried a variety of magic just now, and the result was as they had guessed, it was completely useless.

But after all, everyone knows that there must be other powerful enemies behind.

Soon Li Wei and the others also discovered some small tricks hidden by the war dancers, some activation spells.

Animated flaming hands shaped like flaming claws, some crackling, ooze-like animated flashes of flame, and gray swirling mist streams—animated slumber clouds.

On average, each war dancer can control at least four or five, which is not a small number.

It's a pity that these gadgets are really useless in this special environment, and they can't even cause any delay to the enemy.

But soon Li Wei and the others lost their minds on this trivial matter, because those fire elves began to cross the chaotic battlefield and launched an assault on them.

These big guys look like the lamp gods of the fire department, and they can also fly, but they are actually very different.

The spells they master are extremely limited, and they tend to use huge flaming scimitars to chop up enemies, or drive other fire creatures, or even demons to fight, which makes their camps basically inclined to evil .

It's a pity that they underestimated their own strength, and they didn't need other people to take action. Cindy rushed up with the angels and archons and beat them up.

There are generally only 4-5 ranks of them, even if there are seventy or eighty in number, they are easily killed in just one or two minutes.

But before Cindy had time to take a break, the real main force of the enemy army appeared along with a series of roars and screams.

Some giant humanoid monsters made of rock and magma, Tier 6 Lava Dreadnoughts, formed a phalanx of a hundred men, and joined the battlefield carrying some burning boulders.

Being able to resist, fight, and throw huge boulders, even if their combat effectiveness is slightly inferior to that of the War Dancer, even if they are of the same class, they will definitely not be much worse.

They alone are enough for the war dancers to drink a pot, not to mention there are more than 10 fire giants behind them.

Even Li Wei felt a little tricky, but he was not anxious at all, but rather happy.

Mikaela and Sefa next to each other also had the same expression, because in mid-air, there were three blazing phoenixes, two in front and one behind, flying towards them in a triangular formation.

Even on the real fire elemental plane, the number of fire phoenixes is not particularly large. Now these three fire phoenixes are like carved out of a mold, does it represent some kind of possibility?

Or no matter how bad it is, they can try to communicate with it and use it for their own use.

Especially Mikaela, the ten kingdoms of the high elves, each of them has reached a long-term alliance with some phoenixes.

As a fire elemental scholar, she has naturally carefully studied a lot of knowledge related to the blazing phoenix, not to mention that she herself has a blazing phoenix - Xiaohong as a mount, so she is quite sure about this.

But before that, they still need to deal with another enemy, that is, a giant fire elf sitting on the back of a blazing phoenix that fell behind.

Compared with many of its kind, there are several gemstones on its body, and the scimitar is also shining with a little golden flame, which shows that it is different.

Moreover, its size is obviously much larger, like an adult riding a big goose, even making the Blazing Phoenix under the seat a little overwhelmed, and its flying speed is obviously inferior to its two companions.

The fire dwarf itself can fly, but now it wants to ride a blazing phoenix. It's so funny, it's obviously showing off.

After thinking about it, Li Wei shouted to the leading war dancer, "Hey, do you have any other means?"

The elegy next to him also chimed in: "That's right, such a powerful enemy is beyond our ability to deal with. We don't want to die here in vain!"

The leader of the War Dancer suddenly turned his head. Even though he still couldn't see his face clearly, Li Wei could feel it. He seemed to want to yell at him right now.

But he still managed to endure it: "Don't worry, cowardly mortals, when the blood and flames are full, it will be the day when our Lord will appear, so you can hide behind with peace of mind!"

But the fire elves in the sky laughed loudly: "Idiots who are still obsessed with holding sacrificial ceremonies, have you tricked some mortals into offering sacrifices?"

"It's a pity that the gods who used to exist here have long since disappeared, and they can't respond to you at all."

"And I have successfully changed my job to Fire Djinn Incinerator, today is your death day!"

Before it finished speaking, Celekite's voice came over immediately: "Li Wei, I found out!"

"Among the clouds in the sky, there are some ruins and ruins that have been arranged with permanent anti-gravity spells. In addition to a god-given building of the War Dancer, there is also a complete sacrificial circle!"

Li Wei snorted softly, and he knew it would be like this.

The invitation of the war dancers was not well-intentioned from the very beginning. No matter whether I and the others died fighting against enemies such as fire elements or survived to the end, they would inevitably be reduced to sacrifices.

In this way, he would have no reason to help the war dancers fight.

It's just that, even though the fire dwarf burner said so, he still prefers that behind the war dancers, there is indeed a powerful existence.

He wanted to see if the so-called Lord of Flames would show up in advance when the war dancers suffered heavy losses.
