The next day, early in the morning, Levi was already ready to go.
He was busy with a lot of things last night. In order to repay his kindness and generosity, Kazlik signed several treaties with him, including non-aggression and trade.
Although there was still a huge gap between his power and Khalida's, the dwarves treated them both almost equally.
Levi was very happy about this. As one of the races best at forging, the dwarves' sophisticated equipment and various gunpowder weapons would be of great benefit to the development of the towns under his command.
But he didn't have much time to stay here. The specific transaction would have to be discussed later. They were in a hurry to complete another task.
Traveling together this time are a group of dwarves, including the ancestor hero - Dramar Hammerfist, and a group of God-chosen heroes led by Stormhammer.
As for the owners of this place, Kazrik and Khalida, neither of them would go with them.
Although they temporarily repelled the tide of greenskins and killed tens of thousands of greenskins and goblins, this was only a tiny part of the entire army in the Badlands.
Even the greenskins they killed were not the main force of the legendary greenskin - Gallbladder. His real elite had already gone to attack Ironforge and seek revenge on the Dragon Slayer.
Kazrik was definitely going to be in charge here, but Khalida was not entirely sure at first.
It was not only because she was very interested in the awakening ceremony of the dwarf ancestral spirits, but also because she subconsciously felt that it might be more interesting if she followed Levi.
They had only known each other for a few days, but many important things had happened that affected her and the city of Lahmia. Whether it was a simple coincidence or other reasons, it was enough to prompt her and Levi to have a deeper relationship.
In the end, it was Levi who persuaded her. If she didn't stay here, if the evil spirit came back, no one here would be able to defeat him.
Moreover, if she were not there, the generals and priests under her with rigid thinking might not be able to defeat the enemy.
The fortress could not support tens of thousands of troops. Even if she decided to send troops to defend it, they could only set up camps on the plains for the time being, which was the battlefield where the greenskins were good at.
If an army of tens of thousands were easily defeated by the greenskins, then the favor owed to the dwarves would be greatly discounted.
So after some consideration, Khalida finally stayed. After all, what Levi said made sense, and making friends with the dwarves was also one of the instructions given by the Goddess Lilith.
At the same time, some of the God-chosen heroes who met Levi yesterday also gave up.
Basically, they had suffered heavy casualties in previous battles and were unable to go out to fight, so they accepted Kazrik's mission and guarded the fortress together.
Due to the serious situation and tight time, Levi and his team quickly set off for the target location - Misty Mountain.
Then Levi discovered that Storm Hammer and others also had mounts, some mountain goats, wild boars or giant cave lizards, etc., and one guy even got an iron turtle.
Although its straight-line sprint speed is obviously not comparable to that of regular mounts such as war horses, it is still sufficient for transportation.
Unfortunately, that was at ordinary times. When Sally, Sefa and others rode on the Sphinx, all the dwarves looked at Levi with extremely resentful eyes.
Because their mounts were not even as high as the Sphinx's knees, there was a huge difference in attack, defense, speed, or just sheer coolness.
After hesitating for a while, Storm Hammer finally gritted his teeth and moved closer.
"Levi, are you selling this big thing?"
"Of course, there are many things in the world that cannot be sold as long as the price is right."
Seeing Levi being so straightforward, Storm Hammer didn't look very happy. He just continued to ask, "Can you tell me the approximate price? That will make me give up."
He already had a hunch that some things that seemed easy to obtain often actually required higher requirements.
Levi laughed: "If it's gold coins, it's a bit expensive, 3,000 gold per head."
Even if we ignore the issue of soul crystallization, although the other materials used by the Sphinx seem relatively ordinary, the quantity required is extremely large, so its cost price has exceeded one thousand gold.
Considering that he is currently the only one who can sell them to the outside world, doubling the price is already a very fair price.
Stormhammer's eyes suddenly widened. He also had two villages and several younger brothers under him. Since they had always followed Belegar, a wealthy man, everyone was considered a small wealthy man.
But this price really made him vomit blood. He was worth this much, but it was all invested in fixed assets. Even if several people came together, they could not come up with so many gold coins.
Then he thought about what Levi meant, and he immediately tried to find out: "If it's not gold coins..."
"High-level magic, epic equipment, rare pets, special expertise, campaign treasures, or dwarven runes..."
Levi counted on his fingers and said, "I don't like ordinary things, but if you can bring out these high-value things, you can exchange them with me. I will definitely calculate the premium according to the market price."
During this period, he fought many battles, killed countless enemies, and gained a large amount of spoils.
The ordinary ones were basically disposed of in the nearest towns, but the blue-green equipment that was a pity to sell in the shops were basically bought up by Lotus, Sun Knight and others.
They didn't all buy things with gold coins, they also bartered for goods. For example, the Sun Knight gave him a lot of consumable magic scrolls.
Lotus also specially prepared for him a lot of expertise needed by low-level warriors and mages. Although he himself could not use them, if he used them to train his subordinates, these things would never be too much.
For example, for Nuo Chong and others, becoming a heroic unit does not mean the end, it is just a new beginning, and he still has a lot to learn.
Many specialties, skills, or magic actually have a hidden requirement, which is that you must become a hero unit.
Recently, it even seemed that the Sun Knight was preparing to make a big move in order to exchange the Black Magic Sword and other treasures exclusively used by the Undead in his hands.
It would be a great thing if we could add one more dwarf now.
Stormhammer's face looked much better now, because he already had a general idea. Other things were fine, but the types and quantities of magic in the dwarf's treasure house were definitely not small.
Over the countless years that have passed, they have found a lot of magic from the corpses of demons, devils and other evil races they killed. The dwarves themselves cannot use it, so over time, they have accumulated a considerable amount of magic.
These things were found in the treasure houses of many mountains that Belegar had recaptured before. With his current military position, as long as he was willing to spend some time and effort, he would always be able to get something that Levi would like.
Then he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Levi, I heard that there is a place called Stranglethorn Vale in the Misty Mountains recently."
"It seems that there is a black-striped white tiger named Bangarash wandering around there. In addition to being very cool-looking, it seems to be able to control other wild animals. Some people say that it always has a few jungle tigers or jungle leopards as its minions."
"If you're interested, you might as well take someone to have a look."
Levi was slightly more interested: "Oh, is that so? I wonder how powerful it is?"
"Level 4 Elite should be nothing to you."
If it weren't for the fact that dwarves have low agility attributes, so there are not many hunters or rangers, and the tiger is a bit cunning and knows how to use fog to conceal its body, it probably wouldn't be able to hide until now.
Levi nodded. A level 4 elite, similar to Laxili back then, but indeed not worth mentioning to them now.
In order to catch it, he even had to be extra careful to avoid killing it instantly.
However, the Misty Mountains cover a large area, and Stranglethorn Vale is not on the way to their destination this time, so they can only wait until they finish this mission and come back to talk about it.
"Thanks. I'll keep an eye on it."
Just like this, while chatting, they marched towards Misty Mountain, and then Levi inadvertently let the other party know that three sets of Iron Watch were in his pocket.
Now Stormhammer became even more determined to get some really good stuff to trade with Levi.
As they continued to advance, small groups of greenskins began to block the road, but in front of their army, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Not to mention Levi's direct troops, after experiencing countless battles, those who are able to stay now are all elite.
Dwarves like Stormhammer had experienced many great battles in Eight Peaks Mountain, otherwise Belegar would not have sent them out to undertake such an important mission.
Their troops include a large number of melee troops such as dwarf warriors, dwarf warriors, longbeard warriors and hammer warriors.
Except that their movement speed was a little too slow, which slightly slowed down Levi's marching speed, they were excellent in both attack and defense.
Ranged units are mainly crossbowmen, musketeers and iron dragon artillerymen.
Then there are some relatively swift rangers and butchers as mobile units. However, considering the dwarves' short legs, their swiftness is only relative to dwarves.
It is worth mentioning that Stormhammer and others have some Ironbreakers as their personal guards. Their strength makes Levi look at them with admiration.
As 5th-level infantrymen known as the Hammer Warriors among the dwarves, they are covered in meteorite iron armor. In addition to having extremely strong defense and extra resistance to fire, they also have a special method.
That is throwing explosive packs made of black powder.
Simple, crude, but undoubtedly extremely efficient.
With their strength, if they throw as far as possible, it would be enough for them to throw two rounds when an ordinary enemy rushes in front of them.
It is not very practical in a one-on-one duel, but the effect is explosive if it is a legion battle.
Levi felt that even his Silver Guards would be seriously injured if not killed after being hit. If they were the more vulnerable low- or mid-level archers, being killed instantly would be their only fate.
When dealing with trolls and goblins, even if you don't consider the damage, the huge explosion and blazing flames alone can scare away a large group of enemies.
What's even more outrageous is that, probably to make up for the inability to carry cannons into the battle, they made adequate preparations for this battle. Every time the Ironbreakers threw explosives, dwarves would immediately provide them with supplies.
In this way, they alone can cause a lot of damage to ordinary greenskins.
Often, before the enemy really gets close, a large number of arrows and bullets have already poured down, turning some of the enemies into corpses first. Then the Ironbreakers throw their explosive packs, and even if the remaining enemies are not all killed, they will basically be scared away.
If it is a small group of greenskins with less than 500 in number, the melee troops will almost never need to swing their weapons, as the enemies will have been almost completely eliminated.
This allowed Levi to enjoy a rare opportunity to win without any effort.
However, apart from its small number of people, less than a thousand in total, the biggest problem of this dwarf army is its severe lack of mobility.
Even though they had helicopters and hired a few small teams of human cavalry, ogre warriors and the like, if they really encountered a large-scale enemy rout, it would still be difficult for them to chase and kill them.
The second problem is the serious lack of magic troops. Except for a very small number of dwarf priests and hired foreign mages such as Storm Hammer, they can only rely on pure physical attacks in most battles.
Finally, the fights between these dwarves are extremely noisy. You can hear them from ten miles away. It’s not just the sound of gunfire and explosives, but also the constant chatter from their mouths.
They could shout out all kinds of war cries, curses against the greenskins, boasting about their past achievements, and even what to eat and drink when they go back home at night.
Moreover, Storm Hammer and the others had no intention of stopping it, and even occasionally joined in. I don't know if it was because they had been together for a long time, and they were gradually assimilated.
Similarly, mages like Sefa and Sally were also somewhat annoyed.
However, Elegy and Cindy thought that this was a reflection of the true nature of the dwarves, so they would occasionally join in the fun, which made Levi speechless.
In short, this might be the most exciting battle trip Levi has ever participated in.
After killing these greenskins, they also got some loot.
The greenskins that have been reinforced with waste have as few soul crystals as ever, but the drop rate of some basic weapons, combat skills, expertise, etc. is not low.
In addition, they also dropped some simple formations they obtained from the greenskin god of war, Inav.
What makes Levi feel bad is that their effects are obviously stronger than when the Red Cloud Tribe used them before. Does this mean that the power of the Greenskin God of War and the degree of development of it are also constantly improving?
In theory, in addition to the prayers and sacrificial ceremonies of believers, everything related to the realm of gods or priesthood, once it happens, will increase the power of God.
For example, when a wizard casts a spell, the Mother of Magic will gain power.
When someone is in love, Lady Love becomes stronger.
If someone steals something, that is the domain of the God of Thieves.
Lilith calls these special forces source power, which is a supernatural, omnipresent mysterious force. It is the energy created by the actions of all living things and can basically only be utilized by God.
Likewise, once a battle occurs, all gods of battle, strategy, and war will gain power from it.
Gods such as killing and death will also benefit indirectly, after all, the latter two will often occur when there is a battle.
The difference is that powerful divine power can seize more source power. If it is a battle among the same clan, the gods of the same clan will definitely gain more power.
Now the greenskins have raised an army of one million, involving a war of such a large scale. How powerful will the greenskin gods become?
Although there are fewer green-skinned gods, their duties and domains are all extremely powerful.
God-King - Gruumsh: Greenskin, conquest, survival, strength, territory, caves, chaos, evil, hatred, war.
Goddess of Life - Ruske: caves, family, evil, wisdom, fertility, slavery, green skin, green skin women, medicine, earth.
God of War - Inavur: war, strategy, battle, destruction, planning, overwhelming victory, evil, green skin.
The God of Strength and Foolish Bravery - Bagchu: loyalty, stupidity, brute force, evil, green skin, power, chaos.
God of Secret Attacks - Shagga: night, thieves, stealth, darkness, underworld, chaos, evil, greenskin, trickery.
God of Death - Idros: death, disease, destruction, green skin, torture.
Excluding those two mysterious and unpredictable second brothers, all other green-skinned gods will benefit from it.
If the war lasts long enough, regardless of whether the greenskins really defeat the dwarves in the end, many of the current greenskin gods may be promoted as a result, because many of them are already at the peak of weak divine power.
Levi suddenly realized that due to the different height and angle of his standing, he might have overlooked something.
If the greenskins could produce a few more medium-level divine powers at once, even if the greenskin army of one million were wiped out overnight, they would probably be able to protect the entire race.
Due to the rules jointly formulated by the gods, and the main world's certain aversion to overly powerful creatures, they often don't send their true bodies here, but that doesn't mean they can't.
The ogre's big stomach god has been staying in the main world, accepting sacrifices from the ogres.
If it comes to a critical moment of race survival, is it possible for the green-skinned gods to abide by that rule?
If they break the law, who will step in? The dwarven gods?
Levi believed that even if they had to fight, the dwarf gods would never fight to the death, because their enemies were not just the green-skinned gods...
But that has nothing to do with Levi for the time being. Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. He just needs to follow Lilith wholeheartedly. His primary goal now is to collect all nine volumes of Nagash first!
After several more hours of trekking, they finally reached their destination - Misty Mountain.
As the name suggests, this mountain is shrouded in fog all year round. It is not so pitch dark that you can't see your hand in front of you, but the visibility is indeed very low. It is difficult to see clearly beyond 20 or 30 meters.
In this environment, even the dwarves could not help but lower their voices subconsciously, as if they were afraid that some ferocious beasts might appear in the dark.
Drama Hammerfist and Stormhammer were well prepared for this. They activated some rune equipment and some magical items that were probably purchased from human towns and came with eternal flames and other magical items, and quickly dispelled a large area of ​​the fog.
Levi also used the wind-making technique and summoned a group of Holy Light Sub-Air to act as mobile torches, which managed to create some visible range.
Even Donna and the dwarf's helicopter flying in the sky couldn't break through the fog. The flying height of the Holy Light Sky was limited, and the fog here was even more severe than Levi had expected.
Levi didn't just let them wait, so he went to Stranglethorn Vale and captured the tiger named Bangarash.
Donna happily agreed as she just happened to have a vacant pet spot.
Although she had wanted to go back to Paradise Island and catch a big dinosaur.
But now that it has happened, there is nothing we can do.
Fortunately, the pet is not something that can never be changed once the contract is signed. If she really encounters a suitable opportunity in the future, she can spend some money to choose a new pet.
After a little consideration, Levi even asked Luna's female hunters to go along as well.
They usually rely on their vision advantage to spot the enemy first, and then rely on their agility to avoid the enemy's subsequent attacks.
The same principle applies to other Night Owl Sub-Kongs and Supervisory Sub-Kongs.
But in this foggy environment, they were almost like poking their faces into the bushes, which greatly increased the danger.
It would be better to go with Donna. The Misty Mountains are a continuous mountain range. The fog is different in different places. At least in Stranglethorn Vale, the fog is much thinner, which is more suitable for them to perform.
So the remaining troops of Levi and his men consisted mostly of tough and sturdy infantry.
Secondly, there are many magic troops who are protected in the central area. Even if they are attacked by the enemy, it will not be a big problem.
As for the reconnaissance work, it can be temporarily handed over to the shadow elements. They are like fish in water in this environment.
In addition, there were several human assassins that Cindy summoned in the tavern yesterday, and several half-elf rangers. They had just joined the team and were eager to show their abilities, so Levi couldn't refuse them.
Thanks to the little guy's charm and diplomatic skills, she could gain something almost every day. Even though their abilities varied, it was a good opportunity to test them in actual combat.
After several fierce battles, the elites will remain.
Although this sounds a bit cruel, Cindy didn't give any money, and what's more, this was their own choice, right?
Then he summoned the little female dragon Catherine, wanting to let her see what the fog here was all about. After all, she claimed to be a dragon who was very good at using cloud magic and had done some research on it.
If she could dispel the fog, then the next step would be smooth sailing.
Of course, in order to avoid attracting too much attention, she has recently appeared in a girlish posture.
But after several attempts, the little dragon frowned because she couldn't solve Levi's problem.
She could release the clouds, but she couldn't cancel it easily, let alone such a large area of ​​clouds.
Moreover, she always felt that this was not a purely natural phenomenon, but more like magic was at work.
Levi understood, he thought so too.
Perhaps some undead took advantage of the natural environment here, enhanced its effects, and then used it as their lair.
Maybe even the dwarf ancestor spirit sleeping here has become their target.
The soul that can become a heroic spirit is undoubtedly powerful. Once controlled by the undead, it will naturally benefit them greatly.
But he did not tell these speculations to the dwarves, because even if they knew it, it would be useless, after all, they knew nothing about magic.
As they went deeper, the noise of the dwarves became much quieter, until after crossing a certain boundary, Levi suddenly felt a cold energy coming towards him.
Although he did not make any movement, the waves of coldness were instantly expelled by the anti-evil magic circle that had been surrounding his body, but he immediately realized that they were approaching their destination.
Sure enough, soon not only Stormhammer, but even Dramar Hammerfist reminded him that they had now entered the territory of the evil undead and must be prepared for battle at all times.
So Levi ordered his subordinates to start using various enhancement states, and not to be stingy with magic scrolls and the like.
For a moment, the brilliance of various magics continued, making Storm Hammer and others even more envious.
Magic is always the biggest weakness of the dwarves.
Perhaps out of their own pride, most of the indigenous people are unwilling to admit it. They would rather spend more time and energy to make up for it with thick armor and sophisticated weapons.
But as heroes chosen by God, they cannot really be ignored.
After a short rest, they continued to move forward. The visibility around them did not change much, but the land under their feet began to show signs of corruption and decay.
There were no living flowers, plants or trees around. All of them had been devoured by the death energy and twisted into various hideous shapes.
At the same time, the fog around seemed to become thicker. Levi used several wind magic spells in succession, but it only took a few seconds for the fog to return, which was completely different from the situation outside the Misty Mountain.
He frowned immediately. This was definitely not an ordinary physical phenomenon. It was most likely some kind of large magic circle that maintained the fog effect here.
Then Storm Hammer and the others also started to get a little agitated, because compared to last time, the fog seemed to have changed and became more difficult to offset.
But before they could come and communicate with Levi, after hearing a few roars, countless translucent undead had already rushed out from the fog.
What surprised Storm Hammer and the others was that this time there were not only ordinary ghosts and spirits, but also Stone Cairn Wraiths holding sickles, Frostbound Wraiths covered with white frost, and some Soul Bound Knights.
Many more curse magic spells were thrown over, and at the same time, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.
It’s not that there are any huge enemies approaching, it’s simply that there are more undead trying to get out from below.
This place is indeed occupied by the undead, and after they came here last time, they had already noticed it and set up this trap!
A great war broke out instantly. The dwarves, who had been silent for a while, launched a counterattack with roars, especially the Iron Dragon Hand artillerymen, who were the first to erupt with blazing flames. For a moment, even the surrounding fog was dispersed a lot.
Sefa, Sally and others also began to use the most powerful fire magic they knew, which was also the most suitable for dealing with the undead.
Moreover, at this moment, they seemed to have no fear of being discovered by the enemy and targeted by sniping.
Not only were they standing on the back of the Sphinx, there were also some guards around to protect them, but more importantly, Catherine was also there.
With her as a guard, if some blind undead really came over, they would be torn into pieces by her at will.
Even though she is said to be an expert in magic, she is a pure-blooded silver dragon after all, and her attributes can crush almost all beings of the same level.
The celestial creatures summoned by Levi also went out under the leadership of Cindy. Having just received a complete set of epic equipment, she also wanted to experience the power herself.
The attacks of the celestial creatures also mostly have light or holy attributes, and are more useful than fire attacks when dealing with the undead.
But it is not absolute. For example, the Flame Archon Cinder Guards who signed a contract with Levi not long ago, these big guys holding battle axes are not only quite eye-catching, but also extremely powerful.
I don’t even know if they were infected by the dwarves, but within a few seconds of joining the battle, they started roaring together.
Levi also released several flaming skulls and holy ice storms, but his primary purpose was not simply to kill the enemy, but to determine the direction of the enemy leader.
It is indeed possible for an undead race of this size to be born spontaneously after a long period of time in a place where the power of death is strong.
But there must be a leader behind this kind of ambush.
Then within two minutes, he successfully discovered several necromancers hiding in the dark.
When Levi saw the Boda corpse and the Demon Soul corpse beside the other party, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. These two special undead creatures have almost become the characteristics of the believers of Visharoon. It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet!
He ordered several shadow elements to keep a close eye on the opponent, first summoning the interference palm that was specifically designed to counter mages, and then Levi used an invisibility spell and went over personally.
It must be said that this magic worked much better than usual in this special environment. Even until he could clearly see the bloodstains on the other party's robe, the other party still couldn't find him.
So he didn't hesitate and directly used a black tentacle, and Xiao Qi also cooperated by using the iron restraint.
When the opponent was terrified and tried to fight back, the interfering palm had already flown over and slapped him in the face.
For warrior-type enemies, this kind of attack is at most insulting, but the actual damage is pitifully low.
But for a few fragile mages, this seriously affected their spellcasting efficiency.
Then Levi instantly cast a series of Hammers of Axiom on them, killing many of them instantly.
Even though these guys have some protective magic on them, they are too fragile.
An ordinary human or elven wizard who has not strengthened his physique, even if he has reached level 10 or level 6, basically has only 40 to 50 points of health, while the attack of the Hammer of Axiom is in the three digits.
More importantly, it is bound to hit. Apart from using offensive spells to offset it, you can only rely on your own magic resistance and health points to withstand it.
So these undead mages who saw Levi and the Hammer of Axiom for the first time were all knocked down by Levi with one hammer each.
Seeing their companions die one after another, the survivors who were deliberately left behind by Levi also showed obvious fear on their skinny faces that were almost like skeletons.
However, due to the absolute gap in strength , he was unable to break free from the shackles of magic for a while, so he could only roar in despair: "Damn elf, don't you know who you have offended?"
Levi smiled slightly: "Oh, you mean the coward you believe in - Velsharon?"
"W-what?"
Levi's boldness instantly made the Necromancer's mind go blank. He never expected that the other party would dare to mock a real god?
Levi casually threw out a low-level magic - Dark Arrow, creating some wounds on the opponent: "What are you waiting for? Shouldn't you pray to your god immediately and ask him to personally punish me for such a blasphemous mortal?"
Visharoon's kingdom of God was destroyed, and he was forced to walk in the main world as a saint. He was hunted down by at least dozens of gods and their churches, as well as many more mortal forces.
But until now, he has not been completely caught. He is much more cunning than real rats or ratmen.
Especially after he was beaten up in the Bone Temple before, not only did he lose a combat incarnation, but even the staff that had been with him for countless years was stolen. He became more cautious.
If just a taunt from me can lure it out, it will be definitely worth it even if I die in battle.
Because Lilith will definitely give him better compensation!
