After returning to Lahmia City, Levi did not leave immediately. He had already greeted the Dragon Prince and Michaela.
He will stay here for a while, waiting for the right time to attack together with Khalida's navy and attack the Shahuagin and other enemies.
The Dragon Prince was naturally overjoyed to receive reinforcements from the Tomb Queen, so he not only agreed readily, but also even expressed his willingness to give him some conveniences.
When the time was right, he would send quartermasters to serve him exclusively.
During the days that Levi was away from the colony, the colony also received great help from other kingdoms, and even from winged elves and sea elves. There were many good things waiting for Levi to redeem.
So in the next few days, Levi was busy making Sphinxes and ordinary Death Guards, while trying hard to copy and master advanced summoning monsters and the Web of Amintok.
Khalida also quickly delivered her reward. Previously, the caravan leader had to sneak through the back door to barely get the Sun Scarab and other things.
But since it was done by Khalida herself, it was naturally extraordinary, and she directly used the epic equipment to match it.
Levi saved her life and helped her to wipe out the scourge of the Silver Blood Army. In addition, the two sides now have a special relationship, so she will naturally not be stingy with the reward.
The first is the Sun Arm Armor, which increases both fire and light resistance, and comes with two active skills, Fire Attack and Dazzling.
There is no need to say much about the former, it is just enchanting the weapon, which is quite common.
But the latter can target enemies in a small range by instantly bursting out dazzling light to affect the opponent's vision, thereby reducing the enemy's attack hit rate.
Next is the Sorrowful Flame Sword, which not only further enhances the fire attack effect, but also causes additional damage to evil races such as the undead.
In addition, there is a special effect - grief. If the target being attacked does not meet the requirements in terms of physical fitness and other attributes, there is a chance that the target will burst into tears on the spot.
This has the greatest impact on the magic system, which will greatly increase its spell failure rate, but other professions will also be affected accordingly.
But Levi felt that this thing had another hidden effect on intelligent creatures, which was to lower morale or ridicule them.
If an enemy is beaten to tears by this sword, the opponent will basically only have two countermeasures.
Or just turn around and run to avoid further embarrassment.
Or you can go all out, kill the enemy and wash away the humiliation.
At the same time, these two pieces of equipment, when combined with the Sun Scarab, can also slightly increase the fire resistance and fire attack effects.
In fact, this is not all the special equipment of the city of Lahmia. In the past thousands of years, the tomb priests had nothing to do and spent the whole day studying magic and equipment.
But other equipment is basically related to their gods. If you don’t believe in them, you can’t use it even if you get it.
Khalida gave him three sets of six pieces in total. Since Maltis thought they were too conspicuous on the battlefield and was not interested, Levi gave one set each to Elegy, Alduin and Sonia.
As for spells, probably because Levi had been seen using the slap frequently before, Kalida also gave him spells of that kind.
The first is the sixth-level spell: Bigby's Flying High Five, which is similar to the 5th-level Big Slap, and also has a protective effect, but with one more effect.
That is, once an external enemy invades within a certain range, it will not only resist, but will also spontaneously try to knock the opponent out.
In this way, in most cases, the effect is better than the 5th-level slap, because ordinary mages don't want the enemy to get too close to them.
Next are spells of the same series from level 0 to 4.
Bigby's Aid Palm (Level 0): After casting the spell, it will stay beside the caster. You can put some light magic scrolls, magic potions, etc. on it. For Sefa, it will undoubtedly be very useful;
Bigby's Trip Palm (Level 1): Attempts to use a huge palm to sweep the target's legs and trip the opponent. Although it is only a Level 1 magic, the effect may not be great, but the advantage is that this huge palm is as strong as a person's. It is undoubtedly easy to misjudge the enemy for the first time.
Bigby's Strike (Tier 2): Slams the target with a big fist, causing damage and attempting to knock it back. The damage effect is significantly improved.
Bigby's Protective Palm (Level 3): It can be basically understood as a weakened version of the Level 5 Big Palm. It is more effective than other similar low-level magics in resisting low-powered stray arrows.
Bigby's Interference Palm (Level 4): This is specifically aimed at magic units. If the target does not cast a spell, then nothing will happen, but once the target tries to cast a spell, it will slap the opponent in the face.
The damage is low, but it is extremely insulting, and it carries a certain amount of magical energy, so it often interferes with the opponent's spellcasting.
The Bigby series has 10 magics from level 0 to level 9, one for each level, but higher levels are very rare.
Khalida had not deliberately collected it before, so she couldn't provide more, but she also said that if Levi needed it, she would naturally pay more attention to it in the future.
This time she prepared a total of 4 sets. It can be seen that she took the number of magic units in Levi's team into consideration.
Needless to say, in addition to using one set for himself, Levi directly gave one set each to Sefa, Sally and Alyssa. Now their survival abilities have been further improved.
However, Levi believed that the one who could really perform well was, as expected, Sefa, as she was very good at combining various magic.
As for the level 6 one, he didn't use it directly because he didn't need it anymore.
Since none of them currently meet the conditions for use, he decided to keep them for now and see who performs best in the next battle before giving them to that person. So now the girls are secretly holding back.
Although their strengths vary, Levi also said that the award will not be given simply based on who kills more enemies, but rather on their overall performance.
In fact, although the three of them are all magicians, their fighting methods and so on are actually very different.
Sally is a pure violent output type, and she also has some blood elf sisters of the same type under her command, with whom she has a very close relationship.
In addition, with the Lawbreakers led by Nuo Chong as their personal guards, when they get together as a group, their instantaneous explosive power is extremely astonishing.
But if they encounter enemies with extremely high fire resistance such as demons or fire elementals, most of them will be destroyed.
Sefa is a versatile and adaptable type. Although her fire magic is the most powerful, she can also use other magic.
In addition, he uses props, has a strong ability to respond on the battlefield, and has Sonia's help, so his overall strength is also very good.
In comparison, Alyssa now undoubtedly looks much weaker.
The two points of divinity given by Khalida only made up for her talent, so that she was not much weaker than other geniuses, but it did not bring her too strong power at once.
Now she mainly focuses on poison, relying on Viper Guard for continuous output.
But she also has advantages in other aspects. She is good at logistics and has learned a lot of command skills from Levi. She is developing into a general.
After learning these magics, they quickly used them in the battle organized by Khalida to encircle and suppress the rat people of the Hateful Peak.
Then Levi's air force unit arrived. There were more Pegasus Knights and Hippogryph Knights in his team. Now the air force protecting Donna and Sky Slasher became more numerous.
And after Levi thought about it, he felt that the little female dragon Catherine might be suitable if she was used to assist Donna and protect the Sky Slayer.
She is good at cloud and mist magic, which is just right for protecting the Sky Slayer while he hides in the sky.
If the cooperation is long-term, the amount of gold coins required will be quite a lot, so it is better to find a way to recruit her.
Unfortunately, due to limited information, he has no clue for the time being, because dragons and other naturally powerful races cannot use the spirit of heroes to become heroes like humans or elves.
Their strength comes at a price, which is that it is much more difficult to grow.
Without this benefit, the other things he has are either not attractive to the other party or he is reluctant to give them up.
In addition, Khalida also gave Levi a large amount of magic materials, gems, gold coins, etc.
The grace of saving her life was one thing, the reward for successfully annihilating the Silver Blood Army was another, but she also had to pay the many Death Guards, including the Sphinx.
Levi was not polite to this rich woman, not to mention that this was what he deserved.
Even though she gave a lot more, just think of it as a down payment. Given their current relationship, there's no need to divide it so clearly.
At the same time, while Khalida sent troops to encircle and suppress the surrounding ratmen, various riots frequently occurred in the main world.
Although the Eight Peaks Mountain was dealt with by the dwarf gods, other places were not peaceful.
Five or six large-scale regional missions were launched one after another, and all kinds of chaotic alien races showed up one after another, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
In addition, many places have been in war before, or the last regional mission has not yet been completed.
As a result, apart from the High Elves' Ulthuan Ring and the Wood Elves' Athel Loren Forest, there are few places that are truly peaceful.
Even within the Zhendan Dynasty, where the Dragon God was in charge, war broke out.
The Eshin clan, famous for their assassins among the ratmen, directly captured several towns by using underground threats.
And this time is different from the past. They have actually reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the greenskins. Together they pass through the Underdark and stir up trouble in Zhendan.
The leader is none other than the famous three-sword legendary rat man, known as the chief assassin, the Master of Death - Snikch.
It is said that it has trained its tail to be as flexible as its arms. No matter whether it is an assassination or a frontal attack, any warrior who has not reached the level of legend will be unable to resist it.
Given its strength, it would be difficult for mortals to find its trace, let alone kill it, unless the dragon gods took action personally.
What is particularly shocking is that this time, Clan Eshin not only sent out a large number of Night Rats or Assassins, but also the latest inventions from Clan Skryre.
Some dimensional stone-powered rifles, flamethrowers, and even mortars.
Unknowingly, except for a few types such as helicopters, the rats have actually copied the dwarves' use of gunpowder weapons quite well.
Although they use dimensional stone instead of gunpowder, the actual effect is still very different, but the power is not reduced at all, and may even be stronger.
Because these weapons combine the power of warpstone, poison and plague.
Often, one shot will add multiple different negative effects to the opponent. Just imagine how disgusting that would be.
After the news spread, most of the main world was in an uproar.
Because for a long time, in the eyes of most races, ratmen are almost the same as goblins, kobolds and the like.
It's not just their average individual strength, but also their way of survival, which is relying on stealing, robbing, and picking up garbage in the sewers of human towns.
This is simply not enough to support the long-term and orderly development of a race, and its potential will inevitably be extremely limited.
Moreover, compared with other races, the ratmen only have a giant horned rat with weak divine power - Squark. In this respect, they are not even as good as goblins or bugbears.
But now they have demonstrated so many new weapons, which shows that their intelligence and technological level are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface.
They are hidden so deeply, what is their ultimate purpose ?
There is no doubt that they are planning to make a big move and fight for the rich land in the main world!
As a result, many forces became alert at once, because the ratmen had strong survival abilities and were good at hiding, and no one dared to say whether they existed near their towns or under their sewers.
The human kingdoms are especially cautious, because ratmen have always loved stealing from humans, followed by dwarves.
In fact, there is no special reason. It’s just because the average strength of humans is relatively low, and they are also more careless, so it is easier for them to succeed.
There are also many middle and lower-level officials who think they are smart. After being stolen or attacked by rat people, they will deceive their superiors and subordinates and take the initiative to help cover up the past.
They were certainly not bought by the Rat People, they just wanted their own face and political achievements.
Some people even directly deny the existence of rat people.
If the ratmen did not exist at all, then those thefts and attacks would naturally not have been committed by them.
Then they can take the opportunity to exercise their rights, catch some thieves, and achieve certain goals.
Under such circumstances, the rat people naturally became less valued.
But this time it’s different, because it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t checked, but the results are shocking.
Those ratmen, whom they originally looked down upon, had unknowingly accumulated considerable strength and were even able to pose a threat to their towns.
As a result, many forces began to prepare for war, ready to solve the current troubles first and then encircle and suppress the rat people.
Under such circumstances, the ratmen naturally could not sit still and wait for death, so even though their plans were also disrupted, there were still quite a few ratmen clans who simply took advantage of the chaos to take the initiative to attack.
It just so happens that there are demons, beastmen, and undead in the front, and many forces are unable to cope with them, so they attack from all directions!
The Clan of Eshin, whose main fighting force is assassins, took the lead in declaring war on humans in the central area of ​​​​Cathay.
The Corrupted Clan, who are good at breeding monsters, appeared in the deep pit of hell further north of the ice kingdom of Kislev.
The Skryre Clan, who specialize in plagiarism, theft, and the development of Warpstone energy, rose up in the swamps adjacent to the Knight Kingdom and the Southern Kingdoms, and declared that they had established a magical city belonging to the Skaven.
The Plague Clan simply fled to the Lustria rainforest and fought a guerrilla war with the Lizardmen, Amazons and others.
The Moss Clan, known as the fifth clan after the four major rat-men clans, is led by the legendary rat-man, the Headhunter Quick, and is competing with the dwarves and greenskins for the ownership of the Eight Peaks Mountain.
As for other clans, big and small, they were almost spread throughout the entire main world. Regardless of order or chaos, good or evil, they launched an indiscriminate general attack on almost all races.
Therefore, the main world, which was already in chaos, became even more noisy.
This also allowed almost all races to see the true power and potential of the rat people.
For a moment, it was unknown how many hundreds or thousands of clans of varying sizes rose up in arms at the same time. Even if their armies were mostly composed of slave rats and clan rats, the numbers were there.
Even the smallest clan can easily gather thousands of ratmen when necessary or when there is enough food.
With so many clans, it is roughly estimated that there are more than one million troops. This is a real rat frenzy composed of Skaven!
Many people couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they were first exposed in the Zhendan Dynasty and therefore were noticed.
Otherwise, if we let them develop for a few more decades, the ratmen will probably become the strongest race in the main world.
Even many churches of gods, both good and evil, have begun to take active action.
The gods in the good camp naturally do not want to see the evil ratmen's power expand.
The evil camp also couldn't stand the evil god like the Horned Rat, who was so gloomy and patient.
To some extent, the ratmen and their god, the Horned Rat, have become public enemies.
The last person who had the honor of enjoying this treatment was the Prince of Lies - Xirik.
If the kingdom of the Great Horned Rat had not been built in the Scorching Hell, some impatient gods would have come directly to cause trouble.
The Scorching Hell is adjacent to the Nine Hells of Baator, and the two are somewhat similar, both being notorious gathering places of evil.
The difference is that it is lawful evil and slightly neutral, and there is only one layer. It is full of super-giant volcanoes suspended high in the sky, and the towns there are generally built on the basis of volcanoes.
But no matter what, even for the evil gods, it would be very difficult to cause trouble for the Horned Rat. If the good gods went there, they would be in for a treat.
Even if they are very capable, they cannot ignore the power trend of an entire plane.
So they could only keep giving orders and let their believers work harder to eliminate all the ratmen they saw and knew as soon as possible.
As more and more gods issued orders, the natives had different moods for a while, but the heroes chosen by God were quite excited, because the bigger the scale of the war, the more benefits it would bring to them!
But Levi felt that there must be someone behind this.
Otherwise, how could something that happened in the Zhendan Celestial Empire seem to be known to the whole world in the blink of an eye?
Even the data of special weapons called poison wind mortars, such as their maximum range, attack power, and attack interval, are now clear enough that even the waiters in the tavern can memorize them.
The situation is similar for other types of troops, and they even come with detailed descriptions of their strengths and weaknesses, etc.
I'm afraid that even the rats themselves don't understand these things clearly. After all, the types of troops of each clan vary greatly, and many clans have their own private collections.
It's as if some existence is afraid that everyone doesn't take the rat people seriously enough, and is afraid that they won't be able to kill them all at once.
And most importantly, Zhendan Tianchao did not say that the information was released by themselves. They did not deny it, but they did not admit it either.
So after thinking about it, Levi felt that this might be related to Lilith.
She had long been thinking about establishing a relationship with the Zhendan Dragon God. After all, the other side's camp was very suitable for her and was strong enough.
She had never had the opportunity before. At most, she had some connection with the Zhendan Dragon Gods through the Sea Dreamers led by the God of Sea Elves.
Because one of their members, the goddess of the Flying Feather Clan, Saranata, is a member of the Zhendan pantheon and is also the adjutant of the Moon Queen, the mother of the Zhendan Dragon God.
That’s right, as you can tell from her title, this is another goddess with the ministry of the moon, and a powerful divine power at that.
After he and Lilith had told each other about Skryre's warpstone gun, she might have had some ideas about it.
But that has little to do with him for the time being, because the ratmen in this area have basically been cleared out.
However, even though he had already created four Sphinxes, he still needed to accumulate more Death Guards to deal with the upcoming naval battle.
Ordinary poisonous scorpions and beetles are no longer suitable, but the Eagle Guards are just what they need.
But he didn't rely entirely on them. In addition to Kalida, he also contacted the crocodile people in Swineherd Town. Sobek would also send crocodiles and crocodile people who were good at water battles to participate in the next battle.
Although most alligator people are accustomed to living in swamps, quite a few of them are good at water battles.
The most obvious ones are the huge Sarcosuchus, because when living in ordinary swamps, they often spend 20 hours a day hunting.
There is no way, the prey in the swamp are usually not big in size.
But if you go to the sea, just catching a whale will be enough for them to eat for a while.
At the same time, Shudun's elder sister, who is from the mermaid clan, will also come with a few younger sisters.
Recently, the actions of the Sea Queen and the Vampire Pirates have become rampant, and several smaller merman tribes and clans in the sea have been destroyed one after another.
Life is even more difficult for those of them who lack strength.
Although Levi had previously provided them with some gold coins and resources through the tree stump, where could they recruit troops if even the village was gone?
If we rush here now, we can not only fight alongside Levi and the high elves, but also the nearby mermaids and other forces, which can be considered relatively powerful.
In addition, when Levi used the Dragon Covenant, he also kept all the dragons that were good at water battles.
Although their strengths vary, it is no problem for them to be cannon fodder. After all, he charges by the hour and there is no need to pay them pensions.
The advanced monster summoning magic has a chance to summon 5th and 6th level monsters. Among them, those that are good at water battles include ichthyosaurs, giant turtles, mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, titanosaurs and land sharks, etc.
None of these guys is less than 10 meters in length, and their weights are also very similar, often starting at dozens of tons.
So even though they basically have no magical abilities, their melee ability alone is already quite impressive, and without exception they are very tough.
Due to Levi's camp and profession, he has a certain chance of summoning a corresponding monster with a celestial template, but that is purely based on luck and can hardly be relied upon.
Seeing that Levi had finished another production, the tomb technician next to him, Harpros, immediately trotted over.
Levi was used to it. Instead of participating in battles, this guy was more focused on perfecting his own manufacturing skills. Unfortunately, he was using the power of the Nine Volumes of Nagash instead of his own.
He has personally created thousands of Death Guards, but still has not been able to comprehend the corresponding skills or expertise. How much can he understand just by watching from the side?
But he didn't say anything, just let him watch like that every time, and clean up the freshly baked Death Guards, the remaining materials, etc.
Anyway, every time he fiddled with the Death Guard with his own hands, he seemed to enjoy it to a considerable extent.
But this time it was a little different. Harpros did not start working immediately, but reported the battle situation to Levi first.
Levi has been temporarily unavailable in the past few days, but Donna, Cindy, Elegy, Luna and others have been attacking frequently.
Especially Elegy, I don’t know if it was because of the breakthrough in her relationship with Levi, or because she officially became a battle hero, or because she was too excited about getting legendary equipment, so she performed particularly well.
But it's no wonder. She already had strong strength and excellent equipment. With the legendary magic ball, she underwent a qualitative change and her combat effectiveness increased to a higher level.
"My lord, Donna and Elegy have just returned from a great victory. Lord Elegy has killed many green-skinned heroes in a row!"
Although he is a mummy, he is quite smart and knows whose name to mention first.
But Levi immediately felt something was wrong: "Green skin?"
With Elegy's current strength, she can indeed defeat many indigenous heroes of other races, but how could they fight with the greenskins?
He immediately opened the system prompt. Usually when creating a Death Guard, he would temporarily block it.
Otherwise, he would have been overwhelmed by all the aspects of the towns and villages, as well as the endless reminders from his numerous subordinates.
It was when he gradually felt these things that he felt more and more the power of Lilith.
She has three aliases and receives tens of thousands of prayers every day, and she has to give different responses. No one can refuse to accept it.
Then he discovered that even if he had not gone, Donna and her team had won a resounding victory. They should have launched a joint operation with the generals under Kalida and killed more than three thousand enemies in one battle.
And they didn't just kill a few miscellaneous soldiers, there were also a large number of green-skinned guys and war pig guys.
There are nearly 10 hero units alone, and several of them are God-chosen heroes.
This great victory not only raised Elegy's battle level, allowing her to obtain intermediate offensive skills, but also brought Donna the Silver Girl to level 4, gaining a special professional ability, the Unicorn Spear, which was sure to hit the target once fired.
But the one who gained the most was actually Luna, who was officially promoted to an epic hero.
In addition to the improvement in attributes, she also gained two new skills.
The first move is called Moon Burning, which can release a small spherical moon that explodes 2 seconds after reaching the destination, causing a slowing effect on enemy forces in a small range.
For Levi, this thing is useless. He has more than one magic spell that can slow down or even directly control the enemy.
But for Luna, who is used to guerrilla warfare, this trick is more useful.
Although there will be a delay, it is nothing more than a matter of advance preparation and is not a problem for her at all.
The second move is obviously much stronger, and its name is Lunar Eclipse.
Based on her current level, if she has enough mana, she can summon up to 5 moonlight beams from the sky at a time to bombard the enemy.
These moonlights can be different enemies or the same target.
Combined with her other attacks, it is entirely possible to kill some fragile enemies instantly without warning.
Seeing this, Levi nodded secretly, and after thinking about it, he decided to give the mark of the Lady of the Night Sky obtained from the Moon Bow Goddess to Luna later.
It was this that enabled her to change her job to Moon Knight, and now it is just the right time to hand it over to her.
He even had a plan that the heroes under his command who performed outstandingly would have to have at least a few pieces of epic equipment.
But that's for later. Now it's time to figure out where these guys come from.
Then, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Khalida, Donna and others coming in at the same time.
Before he could even ask, Khalida said bluntly: "Levi, our actions may be affected. Those crude greenskins have started a new round of 'WAAAGH'!"
