Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 424: Ambush the Greenskins
But as he thought about this, his movements inevitably slowed down. After all, rather than a confrontation, he was essentially just playing with the other party.
This shaman looked very majestic, and he even tamed a half-white dragon as a mount, but in fact, Levi felt that he was definitely less than level 15.
Among the green-skinned natives, he is certainly a big shot, but to me now, what is he?
The greenskin shaman was dissatisfied. Facing such a powerful enemy, how dare you be distracted?
But he was not stupid enough to alert the enemy. He just started to prepare a big move secretly.
But almost as soon as he started, Levi had already felt the rapidly gathering energy in the air. With the greenskins' pitiful spell system, it might be their most powerful "Big Kick".
If you take this attack head-on, it can indeed cause some damage to you.
Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity.
He instantly cast a Hammer of Axiom and knocked the greenskin shaman to the ground.
The greenskin shaman, whose spell was interrupted again, was furious. This was completely different from what he had expected.
How could the opponent still use this trick? Isn't it some precious magic item, but a magic that the opponent has mastered?
Then why didn't he use it for a long time before?
Thinking of this, even though he wasn't particularly smart, he felt something was wrong, because he seemed to have said a lot of things that were strictly forbidden to be spread by the church and the tribe...
But Levi had no intention of explaining to the other party. Now that he had figured out the information about the waste, the other party itself had no use to him except for the soul crystal.
Moreover, during the time it took to say these few words, the wyverns were almost in sight, and he had no time to continue chatting with them.
He just threw another hammer and killed the greenskin shaman instantly.
It was clearly a tier 3 magic that could be cast instantly, but the attack power was so high that even he couldn't help but admire it again and again:
Among low- and medium-level magic, this is truly an invincible existence!
Levi casually tried to collect the other party's soul crystal, but found that it was unexpectedly successful.
Almost at the same time as the greenskin shaman was killed, an extremely shrill cry was heard in the air.
When he looked up, he saw Catherine flap her huge wings in a swirling motion, hitting the half-blood white dragon's head with a bang, smashing the dragon's neck into an almost 90-degree right angle.
Then, the fellow, whose body was already covered in blood and whose original scales could not even be seen, began to fall straight down like a goose hit by an arrow.
But that was not all. The Frostflame Griffin swooped down at an accelerated speed, using its claws and beak to plow several deep, hideous wounds on the animal's abdomen.
Its belly does not seem to be protected by thick scales compared to the rest of its body.
From Levi's perspective, he could see very clearly that as it fell down, a pile of black and red internal organs also fell out. It was directly ripped open by the Frostflame Griffin.
Under normal circumstances, when the strength of the two opponents is similar, it is difficult for ordinary attacks to trigger this special effect, or cause limb amputation or something like that.
But if a critical hit occurs, the corresponding probability will often increase significantly.
So in just a few seconds, the screams of the hybrid white dragon quickly lowered in pitch until they stopped abruptly.
It was obvious that even though it was a half-blood white dragon, it still died on the spot after suffering such horrific injuries.
Levi couldn't help but secretly praise it, saying it was beautiful.
He thought that Catherine would have to fight with the opponent for a while and pay some price before she could achieve the final victory. It would also be a bit of training for her.
But he didn't expect that he ignored the Frostflame Griffin. When he didn't give it any orders, it took the initiative to cooperate with Catherine.
They are all level 6. Even if it is inferior to the opponent in strength, there is a stronger Catherine next to it. It is two against one, so it is natural to achieve such a result.
But he had no time to praise it for the moment, because he had already seen groups of wyverns in the distance and heard their "cackle" sounds.
At the same time, dust and smoke filled the sky in the distance, and the greenskin army was already in sight.
In the army of an ordinary greenskin warlord, goblins often outnumber greenskins by several times, but at the forefront are some God-chosen heroes, whose troops are often much more elite.
Killing the greenskin shaman ahead of time was a pleasant surprise, but this was not the entire goal of the ambush, or the real ambush had just begun!
He first asked the Shadow Element to see if the hybrid white dragon had any spoils. Then he waved his hand and the Frostflame Griffin flew over very consciously.
When Levi landed on its back using the flying technique, he finally regained the familiar feeling.
Riding a dragon is indeed very impressive, but it is also very dangerous, just like someone is speeding on a mountain road and you are sitting in the passenger seat.
It's fun for the driver, but if an accident happens, you can't escape either, which is very uncomfortable.
Seeing his appearance, Catherine, who had flown over excitedly to take credit for defeating her opponent, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Because she thought about her behavior just now, it seemed that when she was nervous, she ignored Levi on her back...
"Levi, I..."
Unexpectedly, Levi didn't even turn his head, but just raised his hand gently: "Catherine, you did a good job, but now is not the time to celebrate. There will be more than one more intense battle waiting for us!"
Catherine took back her words and just nodded slightly. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that she must perform better next time to let Levi see clearly that his gold coins were not wasted!
Soon, groups of wyverns arrived first. Although they were nicknamed "ducks", they were about the same size as Catherine, and their fangs were ferocious enough.
Among the celestial creatures that can fly at the scene, except for the 6th-level elite Red Flame Envoy, there are only a few Balis angels who have been promoted to 5th level after many battles and can barely cope with it.
As for the other inspectors Yakong, Pengyushi, Winged Serpent Ai Ci and so on, they would basically be injured if they were touched or killed if they were touched. If they were left alone, the opponent's poison alone would take half of their lives.
Fortunately, Levi still has a large number of eagle guards. Compared with the celestial creatures, they are admittedly a bit bulky, but they are not afraid of death or poison.
In addition, Catherine was eager to make up for her recent mistake, so Levi simply formed a temporary team with her, the Red Flame Envoy, and the Frost Flame Griffin to specifically hunt down wyverns.
With a large number of cannon fodder to attract firepower, with their strength, they will definitely gain something in almost every attack.
Even in a battle of this level, even if Harpros makes every effort to repair them, after this battle, I am afraid that a large number of Eagle Guards will be permanently damaged. This is purely a war for money.
As for Levi himself who was standing on the ground, he only used two magic tricks.
One is a light net, which is used to pull the wyvern down from the sky. With his current strength, the success rate can basically exceed 80%, and there is no need for continuous casting.
Once the wyvern lands, Sefa, Sally, Sonia, and even elite units such as Nochon and Yaling-Autumn Wind will launch a fierce attack with their strongest means, directly killing the opponent with sufficient damage.
Thanks to their tacit cooperation, the wyverns had no power to fight back at all.
After Levi repeated it dozens of times, almost all the wyverns present were killed, but Levi found that the number of soul crystals he collected was unexpectedly small, barely enough for two sphinxes.
After a quick inspection of the corpses, he discovered, as expected, that they were all covered in graffiti of blood and internal organs. They had all been upgraded by the greenskins using the power of thinking.
So, do their souls go to the green-skinned gods or to Big Brother Mao?
This kind of monster is fine, but if the souls of their believers disappeared, the green-skinned gods would surely notice it after a long time, right?
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, they were all recruited from the God-given buildings.
After this period of research, Levi has discovered that the quality of the soul crystals of native indigenous people is often relatively the highest.
If the soldiers were recruited from the God-given buildings, both the quantity and quality would be much worse.
Hero units are often protected and difficult to obtain. It was pure luck to get the Greenskin Shaman just now.
If he is a hero chosen by God, his success rate is still 0 so far.
Either he was really unlucky, or the system provided them with a higher level of protection.
To be honest, Levi is really curious about what level their soul crystals will be.
But now he didn't have time to think too much, because the Scorpion Warlord had already brought a large number of Graveyard Knights to meet him, and behind them were the green-skinned God-chosen heroes.
When they were still some distance away, Black Whirlwind said angrily, "Levi, what kind of conspiracy did you use to kill our shaman?"
Even though the greenskin was born with an ugly face, others seemed to be able to see that he was extremely irritable at the moment, and therefore looked even more ferocious.
Many other God-chosen heroes were also extremely angry. Not only did they see the rewards that were about to be obtained slip away, but they also had to bear a certain price for it.
Levi smiled immediately: "Oh, why not me relying on hard power?"
The reason why he was not in a hurry to kill the other party immediately before was because he had taken this into consideration.
That greenskin shaman looks like the leader of the siege. In this case, will the chosen heroes of the greenskin side accept some related tasks?
For example, if we protect his life, once he dies, the mission will be a failure?
If he kills the opponent in advance, the opponent's chosen heroes will probably be alert.
This is indeed the case, which is why Black Whirlwind seems so angry at this moment.
But even if they realize something is wrong now, it's too late!
Black Whirlwind wanted to say something, but Levi's order had already been issued silently.
The next moment, a tearing shriek was heard in the air, and a large number of arrows fell from the sky. In order to pursue lethality, each arrow was shining with magical light.
Caught off guard, many heroes in the front were killed instantly. Several chosen heroes, including Black Tornado, saved their lives at the critical moment with the help of their powerful equipment and consumables, but almost all of them were seriously injured.
Levi couldn't help but admire secretly when he saw this. You know, after experiencing so many large and small battles, none of the archers under Donna's command were below level 4, and there were also quite a few elite units.
In addition, several Avalon sisters who have followed them the longest and killed the most enemies have already been promoted to level 6. As long as Levi is willing, he can make them heroes at any time and continue to assist Donna.
But even in the surprise attack, they still failed to kill all the enemies in one wave. These guys definitely had a lot of epic equipment.
If nothing unexpected happens, it was the greenskins who got it for them through my thinking power. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible for them to get these things.
It’s not that Levi looks down on them, it’s simply because the entire greenskin race is not good at forging or making magical items. They simply don’t have that talent at all.
Black Whirlwind was immediately shocked and angry. He looked up again and saw the airship looming in the clouds in the sky. Then he suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder those greenskins died so easily before, no wonder he always felt something was wrong.
I originally thought that the enemy had consumed a large amount of manpower in the previous battles, so their resistance seemed somewhat powerless when facing our attack.
But now it seems that the other party has been hiding their troops all along. Perhaps this was just a strategy from the beginning to the end!
When he took another look at the special terrain of this place, he was even more speechless. It turned out that they had run into a long and narrow valley without realizing it.
Here, our numerical advantage cannot be fully demonstrated, which is really too dangerous!
He immediately turned around and wanted to escape. It didn't matter if he failed once. The greenskins' military force was almost endless now. As long as he could go back alive and give this information to Evil Dan , even though Levi seemed to have the upper hand now, he would die in the end.
But if he was killed now, he would have to spend at least half a day traveling to get back here, and by then it would be too late.
But how could Levi let his opponent go? Before Donna could launch the second wave of arrows, his Bigby Interference Palm had already been released.
A magician who was about to cast a spell was slapped in the face several times, which of course stunned him.
This exposed him, and Levi's light net followed closely.
At the same time, Cindy also descended from the sky with several angels, starting with the Holy Glacier and Blade Barrier.
The attack power of these two kinds of magic is not high, but they are both powerful weapons to divide the battlefield.
Sefa, Sally and others also took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, throwing all kinds of powerful magic as if they were free.
The Scorpion General, who had been chased by the enemy all the way, also commanded the Cemetery Knights and others to launch a counterattack.
The mummies of the Tomb Kings may be at the bottom of the list in terms of strength among their peers, but they also have an advantage, which is that their morale is hardly affected by external factors, and they strictly enforce discipline, so they can be called an iron army.
Some of the cemetery knights who had retreated earlier appeared from both sides, raised their Zhendan dragon staffs, poison staffs, etc., and launched shooting from a high position.
Elegy, Alduin and others, who had also been lurking for a long time but had not killed half of the enemies, also launched an attack from the side with their melee troops.
With their powerful strength, even if many greenskins used scrap materials to upgrade, there is still a huge gap.
For a moment, with Elegy as the vanguard, they easily killed and defeated a large number of greenskins like cutting through the waves.
Catherine also took the opportunity to cast a variety of cloud magic. Since she almost tricked Levi once before, she learned her lesson this time.
She deliberately controlled the coverage of the magic, covering the enemy archers' positions. As a result, many green-skinned archers were either slowed down or blinded, and some were simply hit by the instant death effect and died on the spot.
Then she followed Levi's orders and went to take care of the giants.
Those level 6 giants all held a weapon that was more than a foot in diameter. It looked like a big wooden stick, but in fact it was just some small trees with trimmed branches and leaves as weapons.
In addition, their bodies were covered in blood and inexplicable graffiti, and it was obvious that they had been upgraded with the waste materials of the greenskins.
This made her dare not go down easily and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent. It would not be fun to get hit.
But she could use magic to affect their vision and minimize their threat. It would be even better if she could lead them away from the main battlefield.
In addition, many heroes were killed, and a considerable number of greenskins lost their command in a short period of time. Some of the brave ones directly launched a desperate attack and were then easily killed. Those who were timid even ran away directly.
Greenskins and demons are equally warlike, but there is still a huge difference between the two.
The most obvious thing is that the demons cannot . They can be resurrected in the Abyss, so they are fearless in battle. After all, there are too few beings that can absorb their souls.
But the greenskins also know how to be afraid when the situation is unfavorable.
As for the goblins, there is no need to say more. Even describing them as cowardly as mice is not quite accurate, because once the ratmen enter combat state, they are often more brutal than ordinary humans.
However, the performance of the trolls was a little beyond Levi's expectations .
It is obvious that their strength is superior to that of ordinary greenskins. They also have a rebirth effect, which allows them to continuously restore their health points, and they have strong survivability on the battlefield.
But their morale was very low, even more cowardly than the goblins, and they were the first to run away.
Levi didn't figure out what was going on.
Perhaps, it’s not that they are too timid, but that the morale of the goblins and greenskins, who are supported by the gods such as the greenskins, is too high?
After all, it is well known that although there are many trolls, they do not have their own gods.
This huge WAAAGH had nothing to do with them. They were just following it to make a living.
But this is of no importance. His ambush plan was carried out very successfully. For a moment, the greenskins were truly defeated. Black Whirlwind and others only struggled for a few seconds before they were quickly overwhelmed by the rain of arrows.
A few God-chosen heroes who had escaped the disaster because they fell behind or because they were thieves and assassins had no intention of fighting back when they saw this. They just wanted to run away.
Unfortunately, the green-skinned natives behind were not aware of what was happening in front of them, and they were still rushing forward.
This is also what Levi asked the Scorpion General to do before. He would rather suffer more casualties and lead the chosen heroes to the front.
So gradually, one side wanted to escape and the other side wanted to attack, and they were completely blocked together.
When they were standing next to each other, they couldn't even stretch their arms smoothly, let alone think about causing much damage to the enemy.
But on the contrary, magic troops such as Levi and Sally are very happy now.
The denser the enemies are, the more effective their area magic will be.
The only pity is that after using the waste, the combat effectiveness of these greenskins has indeed increased significantly, but their class and the experience points provided still remain at the original level.
Still, the quantity is enough to offset everything.
Under their fierce attack, the greenskins in the front row melted away extremely quickly like snow under the midday sun.
As the battle continued, more and more greenskins died, and the few surviving God-chosen heroes finally collapsed completely.
They didn't even want to care about their own large army, they just wanted to escape first with their trusted subordinates.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
The Rat Master has already grasped their movements, and the Shadow Elements are following closely. Although they seem inconspicuous, they are actually level 6 killers. With Levi coordinating the movements, they have almost no ability to fight back.
It can only be said that Levi’s current overall strength has far surpassed 99% of the God-chosen heroes.
After they were all killed, the scene became even more chaotic.
But for Levi and his team, there was a small problem. Without the supervision of the heroes, many greenskins no longer ran away, but turned around and tried to fight back driven by their warlike blood.
Of course, for Levi, this is just a small problem, not even a trouble.
Except for melee troops such as Elegy, which pose certain risks, other troops are well protected by the Cemetery Knights, so it is enough to just keep attacking.
And because Levi deliberately chose a long and narrow valley, no matter how many greenskins were killed in the front, the greenskins behind had no idea. They would only see an open space in front and then rush forward.
It was not until most of the greenskins were lost and there were only a little over a thousand greenskins and goblins left that they finally felt something was wrong.
It was not only because the friendly troops around them had become sparse, but also because the rocks under their feet had long been covered with blood and body parts, leaving almost no place to stand.
Everywhere you look, there are corpses and usable waste.
Some guys who see that the situation is not good will immediately look for something they can rely on, such as giants or trolls.
But they were soon shocked to find that the trolls seemed to be all dead and the giants were nowhere to be seen.
However, somewhere several miles away, there was smoke and dust all over the sky, and roars were heard. It seemed that there were several giant monsters of huge sizes fighting a desperate battle.
That's right, those giants were finally successfully led away by Catherine, so Levi joined forces with her, Cindy and others to open up a second battlefield, which in turn reduced the threat faced by the main force.
Otherwise, facing the giants' huge wooden sticks, it would be almost impossible for both the Cemetery Knight and his Silver Guards to confront them head-on.
If infantry had to fight against such a huge creature, then at least the Phoenix Guards would have to take action personally, and Levi was almost certain that even they would suffer losses.
Unfortunately, the Silver Guards under his command have almost all reached their limits and are unable to make further progress based on their own talents.
He had also thought about letting Donna launch a few volleys to kill the opponent first.
But he soon discovered that this wish might not come true.
These giants already have strong defenses, and the scrap upgrade seems to have specifically increased their resistance to ranged damage.
This resulted in that even though all the archers under Donna had used magic scrolls to enchant their arrows in advance, only some of the Avalons could actually cause effective damage.
And they would need at least several rounds of volleys to completely kill a giant.
Although giants appear to be slow and stupid, they are still a very powerful type of soldier with high attack power.
But if they used this time to hunt ordinary trolls or greenskins, they could cause several times the damage.
So after comprehensive consideration, Levi gave up the sniper plan and instead led them all to the relatively open second battlefield.
Here, there will be some big guys that can not only fight against them, but can even suppress them steadily.
Yes, it is the 7th level Death Guardian - Sphinx.
After the previous battle and with Khalida's full support, Levi created double-digit Sphinxes.
Even if he gave part of it to her and planned to use part of it to befriend the Dragon Prince, there would still be more than enough to use.
Now Levi asked everyone to work together to separate the giants first. Some of them would be used as summoned creatures to fly kites, while the other part would be used by the Sphinxes to fight against them and commit suicide.
Now they looked like enlarged versions of humans, fighting tigers with sticks.
The actual results were basically similar. Not long after the war began, the Sphinxes all gained an absolute advantage without exception.
In addition to the difference in strength, the difference is also due to their different structures. The beast-shaped Sphinx is more suitable for combat.
The giants did not have sharp claws and fangs, and except for the large wooden clubs in their hands, their fists and feet were basically no threat to the Sphinx.
And they are living beings, which means they can bleed, feel pain, and even be afraid.
Likewise, once they slip or are knocked to the ground, they will have almost no output for a short period of time.
Although the Sphinx is extremely large, it is more flexible than a giant. Moreover, the chassis of a four-legged creature is more stable than that of a two-legged creature, and it is easier to adjust its posture.
So from the current perspective, it will take less than two minutes for the Sphinxes to win completely at a low cost and move on to the second round of fighting.
But Levi had no way to assist them and kill the enemy as quickly as possible.
Because Luna sent urgent information, and no one knew through what channel she learned about the death of the greenskin shaman, or she simply knew that a battle was taking place here, so she wanted to join in the fun.
So the greenskins who were originally besieging the dwarf fortress also began to rush here.
Naturally, Luna took the female hunters with her at the first opportunity and kept kiting the enemy to prevent them from interfering with the battle here.
But the dwarves also sent news. They didn't want to sit back and watch any longer. They also wanted to launch a counterattack!
