Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 425: The Magic Swordsman and the Summoning of the Four Seasons
Although they wanted to resolve the battle here as quickly as possible, Levi felt that there were some hidden dangers.
Because he couldn't be sure how many troops the greenskins had, and whether there were any enemies hiding in the dark besides these chosen heroes who had been killed.
But he and the other party were strangers who had never even met each other. Given the dwarf's stubbornness, his dissuasion would not have any effect. He could only ask Luna to pay more attention and resolve the battle as soon as possible.
Then he turned around and found that the little female dragon Catherine next to him was looking a little miserable.
It seemed that because she had teamed up with the Frostflame Griffin to defeat the half-blood white dragon at little cost and killed more than one wyvern, she couldn't help but feel a little inflated.
So she just volunteered to make another effort and try to kill a giant.
She had been focusing on magic before, so she had never had such an experience before, and her record was a bit pitiful. Today she wanted to make up for it all at once.
She even wanted to take some spoils from the enemy's corpses, and then go back and tell her fellow tribesmen that the reason she didn't have any achievements in the past was not because she couldn't, but simply because she didn't want to!
Then she was taught a lesson by the opponent. The battle on the ground is completely different from the battle in the sky. After losing the space to maneuver, even if she had more advantages in attributes, she still quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing that the situation was not good, she wanted to rise into the air again, but perhaps her luck was not good, as she chose a rare giant that could go berserk.
The opponent was so excited about the fight that he activated his rage skill directly and rushed forward at an accelerated speed, not giving her any chance to take off. He swung his big stick wildly and beat her so hard that she had to crawl on the ground, looking very embarrassed.
The harm suffered is secondary; the key point is that it is extremely insulting.
Seeing that a giant next to her seemed to be very interested in this and wanted to join the game, but everyone else present was busy, Catherine didn't care about anything else, no matter how embarrassing it was.
Because most of the magic enhancement spells on her body have ended or are about to end, she doesn't think she will be able to deal with two giants at the same time!
"Levi, save me!"
Hearing the other party's cry for help , Levi couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Although he was in control of the overall situation, he had actually been secretly keeping an eye on the other party.
In a battle of this level, her appearance after transformation is so unique that it is very likely to attract targeted sniping by the enemy.
But the little female dragon seemed a little inflated, and he thought this was a good opportunity to give her a little knock.
Not only to make her more obedient in the future, but also because the current danger is still within his control.
It is much better for her to be taught a lesson by the giant than to meet a real strong enemy in the future and end up with a more miserable ending because of her arrogance.
He wanted her to know that she did have some strength, but the reason why she was able to perform so brilliantly today was because of the many enhancement states he gave her, as well as the cooperation of other friendly forces.
But it's almost the same now.
First, a light net temporarily bound the opponent, and then the Hammer of Axiom was launched continuously, each time causing 70-90 points of damage to the giant.
At this rate, he would be able to easily defeat the opponent in less than half a minute.
Although due to the giant's powerful strength, the giant successfully broke free from the light net after only two seconds, but this time was enough for Catherine to accelerate and take off.
After being frightened for a long time, she finally calmed down completely.
At the same time, she also recognized a reality: in her current state, it would still be difficult for her to defeat a giant in hand-to-hand combat on the ground.
There were no surprises in the following battle. Soon, under Levi's arrangement, one giant after another turned into corpses.
They are indeed very powerful, but they have two fatal weaknesses.
First, it cannot attack in the air. Even if it jumps, it can only hit enemies that are ten or twenty meters high.
Second, they are too stupid. Even the stupid and clumsy ogres can enslave them and laugh at them. How can they have much wisdom? They are just humanoids!
So after killing them all, the price Levi paid was minimal, just a few low-level Death Guards were damaged and the Sphinxes were all injured.
But with Harpros around, he could make emergency repairs for the Sphinxes, so it wasn't a big deal at all.
It took them a little time to successfully kill all the giants.
Then, Harpros and the ogre Leslie began to work together to urgently process the giant's meat in preparation for the subsequent recruitment of the ogre tribe mentioned by the Scorpion General.
Although their methods might seem rough due to the rush of time and the fact that they are not professionals, the ogres don't care about that.
When they are extremely hungry, there is nothing they won't eat. Eating dirt is nothing. The famous Fire Stomach Clan is famous for eating volcanic ash and drinking magma.
Of course, their tribe was famous for its small population, and even ogres found it difficult to bear that kind of special food.
After finishing the job here, Levi did not immediately go to meet up with Wange and the others, but instead led his troops directly to support Luna.
This battle was relatively easier. When the huge Sphinx rushed into the battlefield, ordinary greenskins and goblins had no way to resist. They were either easily crushed to death under the feet of the Sphinx like weeds, or directly knocked away.
Even if there are a few brave ones who dare to resist occasionally, they are just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
More importantly, there was more than one such Sphinx. Levi directly mobilized five of them, killing the enemies so much that corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river.
The system refreshes at intervals, and when the casualties are too heavy in a short period of time, it simply cannot handle it.
So they killed another two or three thousand people, until the battle on the other side was completely over and they received news from the rear that Khalida's army was approaching here, only then did they completely end the battle.
The system prompt also popped up at the right time.
Levi looked at the battle report and found that his direct troops suffered extremely light casualties, with only a few Death Guards lost.
But all the skeleton chariots and skeleton cavalry that Khalida gave him were killed, and the cemetery knights also lost nearly two thousand. Of the five thousand vanguards at the beginning, only about thirty percent were left in just a few hours.
But despite this, he still achieved an epic victory and his legend level increased by 1 point.
Because they killed more than 8,000 greenskins and 14,000 goblins, as well as a total of nearly 30 heroes and God-chosen heroes in one battle, the casualty ratio on both sides exceeded 1:6.
As for other giants, wyverns, trolls and the like, there are quite a lot of them.
It is well-deserved to receive this evaluation.
Coupled with the previous waves of attacks, Levi was absolutely certain that even as a legendary hero, his power would be seriously affected.
The greenskins suffered such heavy losses, especially the high-level troops and hero units among them, that it was difficult to replenish them in a short period of time.
In comparison, although Khalida's troops also lost several thousand, the mummies and constructs were very easy to replenish.
And even if it is difficult for Levi to obtain soul crystals from the other party due to the influence of Brother Gomao or the devil, the number is there. In addition to making up for the losses, he can still get five or six hundred more Death Guards and several Sphinxes.
Whether it is a giant or a wyvern, they are both level 6 soldiers.
After the first battle, everyone upgraded. Levi's battle level rose to level 14, his leadership skills became intermediate, and his compatibility with different races and arms was further improved.
Donna's battle level has been raised to level 12, and she has mastered advanced archery, which allows her archers to receive more bonuses to their attack power.
Thanks to her command of the archer troop, her rank among her subordinates has always been closely behind Levi.
Others who performed relatively well, such as Elegy and Sefa, also made improvements. Since Sefa had reached level 10 this time and met the requirements, Levi gave her the command of a Sphinx.
Sefa immediately took it over with great joy. She had seen the opponent's performance with her own eyes. In the subsequent battles, the presence of such a big guy would definitely greatly increase her growth rate.
Catherine next to her was also very envious, because she was defeated by a giant in a ground battle, while the opponent was able to defeat the giant relatively easily. If she could also get such a big guy, why would she be afraid of giants in the future?
Among them, the one Levi values most is No Chong. After this great battle, he has become a level 6 elite unit and his potential has reached its limit.
After thinking about it, Levi handed the other party a hero's spirit and the magic swordsman's job transfer order that Tigris had given him a long time ago.
He had a hunch that this thing would be most .
The magic swordsmen practice both magic and martial arts, and the attribute requirements for strength, physique, agility and intelligence are not low.
For the God-chosen heroes, overly average attributes are most likely to lead to mediocrity.
Just like the bard, at the beginning everyone thought that this profession was both literary and martial, and that one could easily knock down the enemy while singing, dancing, and playing around. It couldn't be described with just one word, "cool".
But now, as people are exposed to higher and higher levels, everyone knows that even if a bard serves as an auxiliary, he is probably just a half-baked one and cannot compare to a priest at all.
But for the indigenous people with higher initial attributes, this is not a big problem.
At first, Levi thought that the magic swordsmen could only learn level 5 magic at most, which was good in the early stages, but seemed to lack stamina.
But in fact, this is not absolute. Just like the initial understanding of the bard, many people, including him, also had a wrong understanding of the magic swordsman.
Teclis is a legendary wizard, but he is also the mentor of all magic swordsmen, so it is also possible to say that he is a magic swordsman.
Under the instruction of Lilith, the legendary hero, Eltharion the Grim, who is about to launch a misty expedition against the greenskins in the badlands, is also a magic swordsman.
It is even said that the ruler of the High Elves, one of the contemporary "Twin Kings", the Phoenix King Finubar the Navigator, is also a magic swordsman.
Among the high elves, their status and strength are among the strongest. If the Magic Swordsman really has such a serious weakness, will they choose it?
Nuo Chong was naturally filled with gratitude. Even though he had never seen one, he had heard of the Magic Swordsman. This was almost the most suitable job change for him as far as he knew!
Soon, Levi had a level 4 combat hero under his command, and Levi didn't feel too surprised about it.
Although Nuo Chong has always been accompanied by several Law Breakers, he has never shown any talent or ability in command.
But his personal strength is very good. His original skills have been enhanced, and he has mastered a variety of new abilities, including combat skills and magic. The magic swordsman's dual cultivation of magic and martial arts was immediately revealed after he changed his job.
The one that interested Levi the most was the last one.
Silent Curse. Once hit, the target in a small range will continue to lose a certain amount of health and magic points every second until he uses any skill that consumes magic points.
At first glance, this skill seems useless, because in a real battle, no matter what profession you are, you will definitely attack with all your strength right from the start and use all your ultimate skills.
But in fact, some special professions do not have magic value at all.
Instead, there is fighting spirit, blood rage, unparalleled fighting spirit, chakara, true qi, or other messy stuff.
If Nuo Chong releases this skill, wouldn't the opponent lose health in vain?
Moreover, the magic points of many low- and mid-level soldiers are extremely limited. If you randomly send two of them, they may have no magic points left. When they encounter this skill again, it will undoubtedly be very painful.
Or some warrior enemies, when they have no contact with Nochon, are hit by this skill. If they want to remove the effect, they can only attack the air, which is undoubtedly a waste.
In short, Levi feels that this skill has many uses, but the specific uses still require him to test it personally in actual combat.
Next came Yaling Qiufeng, the old subordinate who had followed him the longest and even came into contact with him before Donna, and finally advanced to level 5.
Although the number of level 5 units in Levi's troops has already reached three digits, and now level 6 and 7 troops are gradually beginning to appear on the battlefield, he still feels somewhat relieved.
The improvement of Qiu Feng's attributes is very small, but he has mastered a special skill - Four Seasons Summoning.
Yes, that’s right, it’s another summoning skill that Levi likes very much.
I don't know if it's just a coincidence, or if they know that Levi likes this kind of ability, so many of his subordinates prefer similar abilities.
According to Qiu Feng, Yaling, a magical creature whose appearance is extremely similar to that of an elf, can transform into one of four Yalings with different abilities, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, during its childhood, depending on the magic power in its body, the external environment, and even different emotions.
It is said that high-level elegant spirits may even be able to change their own attributes relatively freely.
Now Qiu Feng can use summoning magic to randomly summon 1-3 elegant spirits, but just like Bayoru's summoning of celestial companions, he also needs to spend a certain amount of gold coins, elemental crystals, or respond to the other party's summons as a price.
However, for Levi, using a little insignificant money to exchange for combat power is still a very cost-effective thing.
Among them, the Spring Elegant Spirit is the representative of happiness, and is mainly proficient in charm and illusion magic, as well as Tasha's laughter.
The scorching heat of summer shaped the Summer Elves. They are good at low-level fire magic, and their swords and bows are enchanted with flames. As long as they don't encounter special enemies such as fire elements or demons, they are probably the most powerful among the four types of Elves.
Qiufeng is the typical representative of the Elegant Spirit of Autumn, which is more inclined to assistance and control, and its output ability is very poor.
So even though Levi created very favorable conditions for him, it still took him so long to finally advance to level 5.
The last Winter Graceful Spirit symbolizes sadness and coldness, and mainly uses ice to slow down enemies. In Levi's opinion, it may be the most suitable for auxiliary troops in battle.
Many other subordinates have also been promoted. The stronger the enemy and the larger the scale of the battle, the more likely it is that outstanding elites will emerge.
In addition, Levi was very surprised to find that the greenskin warrior named Big Boy who was wanted by Tiefengbao before seemed to be mixed in with these greenskins, and then was killed by someone unknown.
Now his mission has been shown as completed. At the same time, when cleaning the battlefield, he also found about two thousand gold coins and a small amount of oath money.
Under normal circumstances, greenskins do not use gold as currency, let alone the dwarf's oath money, so it could only have come from that guy.
But in terms of equipment and other loot, this time it was very pitiful.
The young man had probably been fooled by other green-skinned God-chosen heroes before coming here, so he didn't have much left.
Finally, there are only two Disintegration Runes. After hitting the enemy with physical attacks, they can reduce the opponent's defense by 10 points in a short period of time.
Since there is no restriction on melee or ranged combat, Levi gave them to Luna and Sonia respectively.
The former is that the Moon Blade can be catapulted, which will undoubtedly maximize its effect.
The latter's strength had declined significantly after she lost the legendary whip, and Levi wanted to make up for it and let her catch up as soon as possible.
As for other enemies, whether they were green-skinned shamans or those chosen heroes, they generally only dropped some basic white and green equipment, which was totally inconsistent with their identity and strength.
Levi thought about it and finally could only conclude that they might all be using equipment that had been upgraded using scraps, but these equipment could only exert their greatest effect in the hands of the greenskins and the like.
If they fall into enemy hands, they will revert to their original appearance.
However, in this way, he also discovered another thing, that there seemed to be a limit to upgrading waste materials.
Otherwise, given the wealth of the God-chosen heroes, in pursuit of stronger combat effectiveness, they might very well use blue or purple equipment as raw materials, rather than the white and green ones in front of them.
Or at least there is a limit now, and they should only be able to use scrap upgrades on low-level equipment for the time being.
This made him feel a little relieved. He was a little worried that the other party would produce legendary or legendary equipment in large quantities.
As for those giants or trolls, they have almost nothing. After all, apart from their crotches, their weapons are mostly a combination of wood, stone and various metal fragments. What good things can we expect them to contribute?
However, those two-legged dragons left behind a lot of fangs, claws and other materials, which are quite valuable and can also be used to make dragon tooth soldiers.
Although Levi doesn't think highly of this thing, he will always make it as soon as he has the materials, because the Sun Knights and the Lotus of the Red Brotherhood are very interested in this thing, and it is said that it is very popular and in short supply.
The half-blood white dragon gave an additional rare material - dragon crystal.
Generally speaking, dragon crystals can be divided into two categories:
The first category is some special gems that contain abundant energy. They are often used as inlays to assist in the creation of legendary or legendary equipment.
It is said that it was originally only produced in three special planes: Siberys, Khyber, and Eberron.
This is also the name of the three-headed dragon god that occupied these planes, and these gems are therefore called dragon crystals.
But unfortunately, due to their fighting with each other and the invasion of demons and devils, they themselves and the three worlds disappeared into the dust of history.
These things are basically not seen in the main world now, and even few people know of their existence. It is estimated that they may only exist in some legendary heroes or in the treasure houses of major forces.
The other one comes from dragon creatures.
In fact, this is also not common, because only when they cannot make full use of the energy in their bodies, the excess energy may be temporarily stored in the body in the form of crystals. For pure-blooded dragons, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.
Only those mixed-blood bastards with good strength but not very good brains can give birth to this thing.
In any case, this is all a product of coincidence.
After thinking about it, Levi did not put it away directly, because he was not sure what other dragons would think of this thing, even if it once belonged to a half-white dragon.
It's like a greenskin dug out the heart of a half-dark elf and made it into equipment. What would the other high elves think?
But what Levi never expected was that after seeing it, Catherine not only did not feel any disgust, but was a little greedy, and she also took a fancy to it.
Levi couldn't help but burst out laughing. He knew he was overthinking it. She obviously had no good feelings towards the half-blood white dragon, and didn't mind using its remains.
Considering that the other party's performance today was really good, Levi just threw it to her.
And to be honest, he didn't think much of it. According to the system's evaluation, it was just a purple gem with impurities.
Gems of this quality are not common goods found everywhere, but they are not particularly rare either. As long as you have money, you can always buy them.
The little female dragon never expected Levi to be so generous, but she took it immediately, and as if she was afraid that Levi would go back on his word, she directly swallowed the fist-sized white and blue crystal in her human form.
Li Wei couldn't help but grin when he saw this. You don't even need to chew it? Just swallow it whole?
Although her appearance hadn't changed, her eyes were narrowed and she was obviously feeling pretty good.
Then, as if she felt that she had been a little rude, Catherine thought about it carefully, and finally proposed to use this dragon crystal to replace the reward for her battle.
But Levi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to calculate so clearly, because they would have to fight side by side many times in the future.
He gave it to her in order to bribe her, but if he agreed to her proposal, wouldn't it become a transaction?
Catherine subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was indeed very grateful to Levi, she would feel a little sad if the gold coins that were about to be in her hands were gone. This result was the best.
At the same time, an idea vaguely arose in her mind. Since Levi was so rich, was it possible for her to turn his money into her own in some way?
Looking at the little female dragon who was both happy and dazed, Levi couldn't help but laugh secretly. Really, no matter how smart they were, the dragons' obsession with wealth could always easily affect their thinking.
While the troops were taking a quick break, he casually asked the dragon a few questions about his views on dragon products.
Catherine did not hide anything about this. She said that if a human or elf wore dragon skin or dragon scale armor, she would immediately determine which type of dragon the material once belonged to.
If it was a relic of an evil dragon such as a red dragon or a black dragon, she would certainly not care, because even if she encountered it, a life-and-death struggle would most likely break out immediately.
But if it were other dragons of the good camp, such as silver dragons or gold dragons, she would change her attitude slightly.
Even if the silver dragon is not aggressive by nature and will not personally avenge the opponent, it is quite normal for the initial friendship level to be reduced by one or two levels.
But her attitude only represents the lawful good camp, such as silver dragons, gold dragons and bronze dragons. It is impossible for her to know what the other chaotic dragons will think and do. After all, they themselves are full of uncertainty.
However, she felt that if evil beings such as red dragons saw dragon products, they would either laugh at the dead dragon, or directly steal the products, or both.
Levi smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
Silver dragons will conflict with white dragons due to their attributes, but because they both like to nest in mountainous and similar terrains, as well as due to faction conflicts, they will also frequently fight with red dragons.
It is also very normal to take time to belittle the other person.
But she was indeed right. Each of the five colored evil dragons could be represented by a word.
The Red Dragon is a robber who kills people while robbing money;
The blue dragon is a tax collector, and only death and taxes are inevitable;
Green dragons are tricksters. Since they are relatively weak, they often won't start a fight right away when facing a powerful enemy.
The black dragon is a ghoul who lies in a mud pit all day, gnawing on rotten corpses for food.
They don't have much ambition or pursuit, like they set up a snake cult before, and even tried to deify the old black dragon - Black. They are extremely rare ambitious people among black dragons.
As for white dragons, it can basically be said that they are brainless beasts. They are not without intelligence, but they usually don't use that stuff. They trust more in their sharp claws and icy breath.
