Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 426: Jedreg the Strong
After almost finishing these things, Khalida also arrived with a large army. After a brief exchange with Levi, she was somewhat impressed, but not too surprised.
After all, through the previous battle against the Silver Blood Army, she already had a general idea of Levi's strength and wisdom, and she also knew that he always had a trump card.
More importantly, she saw the Sphinxes that were in an activated state from afar.
Thanks to Levi, she now has several of them in her hands, so of course she knows their strength.
She could even say that as long as they served as the vanguard, it wouldn't be particularly difficult to crush thousands of greenskins.
Even though Levi owns a basic Sphinx, they are still the most powerful war beasts of the Tomb Kings.
At this time, Luna in front also sent a message again, saying that the dwarves did not listen to his dissuasion and still stubbornly chose to leave the city, wanting to join forces with their side to encircle and suppress the greenskins.
Then, before they had walked ten miles, they were ambushed by a group of greenskins and their retreat was cut off.
Currently the dwarves are being surrounded from both sides and the battle is in full swing.
Luna had already approached with some female hunters and was waiting for his next instructions.
What else is there to say? Levi and Khalida led the faster troops to join the battlefield first.
They went west this time, not only to stabilize the rear, but also to make the dwarves owe them a favor. Now is the opportunity!
As the distance continued to shorten, Luna quickly joined the battle, and various information was continuously transmitted.
Only then did Levi realize that the dwarves did not decide to leave the city just because they were too excited about the fight or for the sake of face, but they actually had some confidence.
Because there seemed to be few God-chosen heroes among those greenskins. Apart from less than a thousand greenskins, there were only four or five thousand cannon fodder troops composed of low-level soldiers such as goblins and bugbears.
Although the dwarf breakout force was smaller in number, less than a quarter of the enemy's, they were extremely elite.
The worst is the level 3 Dwarf Warrior, followed by many level 4 Dwarf Longbeard Guards and the Dwarf's top infantry, the level 5 Hammer Warriors who usually serve as the King's Guard.
As for dwarf crossbowmen, musketeers, rangers, butchers, etc., there are all kinds of them. Although the number is small, the configuration of the troops is very complete.
But even though their strength is very good, when they are added together, they are not as conspicuous as another type of soldiers armed with special weapons.
Those were some special hand cannons spewing flames. When the red light like cloth covered those poor greenskins, the air would often be filled with a burnt smell first, followed by the greenskins' screams.
But the screams will soon end, because the flames are almost endless. Once they hit, the extremely high damage can often melt the weapons, armor and bodies of the greenskins within a few seconds .
That is the dwarves' special troop - the Iron Dragon Hand Artillery. Although they are only level 4 and seem ordinary, their attack power is incredibly high.
Moreover, once this flamethrower-like weapon launches an attack, it will not stop immediately, but will continue for several seconds until the weapon is overwhelmed and needs to cool down, and then they will press the switch.
This is also a recognized super model soldier on the forum. It is even countless times more cost-effective than the Silver Guard of the High Elves. It is also a must-have soldier in the team of more than 90% of the dwarf natives and God-chosen heroes.
Many people even believe that even if their recruitment and maintenance costs are doubled or tripled, it will not shake their special status at all.
In certain special terrains, such as a narrow tunnel that can only accommodate one person, the Iron Dragon Artillery can at least kill enemies that outnumber their number by dozens of times before their ammunition runs out. Ordinary soldiers of the same level cannot even stand in front of them for more than a few seconds.
It was precisely because there were about four or five teams of this type of soldiers on the scene that the dwarves did not lose the upper hand at all when being surrounded on both sides, and even had the intention of launching a counterattack.
As for the Iron Dragon Artillery's most fatal flaw, its outrageous movement speed, it is not a problem in defensive battles.
Their extremely long attack intervals were also successfully resolved when the dwarf commander used wave-type attacks, constantly alternating between cooling down the Iron Dragon Hand Cannon and replenishing new ammunition.
At the same time, the opposing team should also have a rune blacksmith who can also summon flames. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky and it looked very lively.
After seeing this scene, even Kalida couldn't help but feel a little scared.
The most important reason why she signed the treaty with the dwarves was that she wanted to be free from external interference and be able to concentrate on dealing with the Silver Blood Army.
But isn't the strong restraint of the opponent's weapons on his own troops another reason?
Even the big green-skinned guy who has no weakness to fire can't hold on for a few seconds. Once a conflict occurs, her mummy subordinates will only die faster.
As thousands of reinforcements arrived accompanied by smoke and dust, including many huge monsters shaped like lions and tigers, the dwarf in the lead did not have any worries or fears, but his eyes were shining.
Ever since the fall of Eight Peaks Mountain and the loss of most of the mysteries of rune power, the dwarves can only rely on weapons, armor and gunpowder to fight the enemy. If these big guys could belong to them, then why were they blocked by the damn greenskins today?
Since someone had been sent to notify them in advance and the dwarf general also knew Khalida, the two sides quickly cooperated tacitly and launched a siege on the greenskins together.
With just one charge, the Sphinxes knocked over at least two or three hundred greenskins and goblins, creating a huge gap in the encirclement.
Although those greenskins were fearless and fought back desperately, apart from a series of "ding-dong-dong" sounds, nothing could stop them.
Donna continued to shoot arrows from a high position, and magic troops such as Cindy, Sefa and Sally, and even Nochon who had just become a hero, all fought bravely.
Khalida also seemed to want to show her strength, so even though she did not take action herself, the generals and priests under her command were all firing at full force.
Under their joint fierce attack, the greenskins could not even last two minutes before they began to flee on a small scale, which led to a complete defeat.
This also made everyone more certain that these guys should all be ordinary indigenous people, otherwise the greenskins led by the God-chosen hero would not behave like this.
Naturally, they took advantage of the situation to kill, while Levi, with some celestial creatures, began to chase towards the northwest because he found a somewhat familiar figure.
So he took a little more time and did not kill the opponent directly, but instead bound him with a light net.
So a greenskin who was running wildly with a pair of big hairy legs suddenly fell to the ground and plowed a small ditch on the ground with his big square face.
But the physical pain was unimportant; what hurt more was his heart.
After a slight try, he couldn't break free at all. Instead, he was bound even tighter. The greenskin could only crawl on the ground like a big insect, complaining with unwillingness and regret.
"Ahh, you cursed elf, why is it you again!"
Li Wei also laughed: "Come to think of it, how many times have we met?"
That’s right, the opponent was the special greenskin he had met several times - Jedreg the Strong.
The last time they met, the opponent was only level 4, but this time he had turned into a black orc with a green body. Not only had his class been upgraded to level 5, but he also had some greenskins and goblins around him as his personal guards.
This growth rate is certainly not comparable to his own, but among his many subordinates, and even in the entire main world, few can match it.
Could it be that he is really the chosen one of a certain green-skinned god, or even the son of God?
However, judging from this guy’s previous performance, he doesn’t look like a descendant of Gruumsh or other green-skinned gods.
Instead, he is more like those greenskins who believe in the evil spirit, who like to fight, but are also a little cunning.
After struggling a few more times, but still not getting loose at all, Jedreg simply lay down.
"Elf, what do you want to do by catching me?"
Li Wei smiled and didn't beat around the bush: "Tell me where the evil courage is and what his troops are deployed, and I will let you go."
Although the two sides have different positions, they both know that if they continue to keep the other party, it will definitely be a hidden danger.
But if he is still afraid of the opponent's growth when he is leading by such a large margin, then he is too cowardly.
For him now, killing one more or one less level 5 soldier makes almost no difference.
But if the opponent can grow into a heroic unit, then the hidden power in his body may be truly stimulated.
If we kill the other party then, maybe things will be very different.
After thinking about it, Levi had let him go more than once before, and now he was caught again. It seemed that he had no good choice. Besides, he was asking about evil courage, which had nothing to do with him.
So Jedreg didn't hesitate at all and told him quickly: "Evilheart went to Iron Peak Fort to fight with a damn dwarf named 'Dragon Slayer', and asked us to capture this place as soon as possible. It would be best if we go to him with the head of the Dragon Slayer's son."
Levi nodded. This really sounded like something a brave person would say.
Evilheart is well-known among the greenskins for his low intelligence, just like his brutality.
At the same time, just as he expected, Jedreg obviously thought that Evil Gall's life or death had nothing to do with him at all, so for his own life, he could sell out Evil Gall without hesitation.
There was no need for Levi to even continue asking questions, Jedreg told him everything he knew like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Since E'Dan was a well-known bully in the area, and with the help of the oracles of the greenskin gods and the cooperation of many churches, he summoned dozens of tribes, large and small, totaling nearly 100,000 troops and hundreds of heroic units.
However, some of them fought and died on the road, and some were eaten as food, so when they arrived here, there were probably more than 80,000 of them.
Levi immediately exclaimed, "Wow! He hasn't even encountered the enemy yet, but he has already lost more than 10% of his troops?
Besides greenskins, what other race could do such a thing? Probably only chaotic evil demons, right?
As for the deployment of Evil's troops, Jedreg couldn't remember clearly. He only knew that the opponent's personal guard was a large number of wild boar cavalry, as well as some spiders of different sizes.
Since the Dracadelin Fortress was carved directly into the mountain, Evil's guards could not deploy their forces at all, so he handed the task of siege to others, namely the shaman who had been killed by Levi.
He sent out a part of the troops to collect food in all directions, while he himself led tens of thousands of troops to Tiefengbao.
Levi nodded secretly. He didn't hear any problem. E'dan had fought with the Dragon Slayer before and was beaten up by the other party.
He was just promoted to legend last year, and this year he has the opportunity to command so many troops. Anyone would definitely seek revenge.
It's this guy Jedreg. He only knows the approximate numbers and the approximate races of those troops, but he knows nothing about their specific classes, which makes Levi speechless.
Not to mention anything else, there are many kinds of spiders alone. The lowest-level jungle spider is only level 0, but the Arachnari giant spider is a level 6 troop at the same level as the giant. The strength difference between these two types of spiders is more than a hundred times?
But there is no way, with the green skin's brain capacity being able to provide this much, it is actually very good.
Seeing that the battle over there was quickly coming to an end, in order to avoid misunderstandings from the dwarves and after confirming some details, Levi waved his hand to cancel the magic.
Jedreg immediately ran hundreds of meters away, without even turning his head, and said, "Hmph, elf, don't think you've won just yet, I'll definitely get revenge next time!"
"Then you have to grow up quickly. You are not always so lucky to fall into my hands. I am not sure I will be so generous every time!"
Even for the possible divinity that may appear in the other party in the future, Levi felt that he probably was not in the mood to really play the trick of capturing Meng Huo seven times.
If he is in a bad mood sometime, he might just kill the other person in advance.
Hmm? Thinking of this, Levi suddenly had an idea. He secretly sent several large shadow elements, carrying a hero spirit, to chase the other party.
They are only level 4, and the chance of killing each other is very low, but it is possible to stimulate the opponent's potential.
What would he choose if he defeated them and found the spirits of heroes in their corpses?
The more Levi thought about it, the more interesting it became. Even if he failed, his loss would only be a hero's spirit.
But if he succeeds, he might be able to reap sweet fruits the next time he encounters it .
He began to understand why in many stories, the mastermind would allow the protagonist to grow instead of destroying him from the beginning.
Because this kind of game is really interesting.
