After seeing Arkhan's actions, Levi was also a little surprised. Akhan did not choose to summon a ghost dragon or something like that, but instead transformed into a big zombie?
However, as soon as he saw the zombie was covered in magical light, he knew that it was definitely a high-level hero unit.
He had flying units but chose ground units instead. Could this be some kind of trap?
After thinking about it, Levi decided to be on the safe side. He turned to look at the big Lolita beside him: "Cindy, I have to trouble your dad again."
Among all his summoned creatures, the Dragon God is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by the 7th-level elite Punisher.
Although the little female dragon and the high-level red flame user are also very strong, they will definitely be beaten to pieces by the Punisher if they fight in close combat.
As for the Sphinx and Dragon Golem, as constructs, they have significant problems with flexibility, mobility and intelligence.
When the power gap is not too big, the Punisher will definitely have a higher chance of winning.
Moreover, this time it is infantry against infantry. No matter what conspiracy the opponent has, the Punisher's hammer is not to be trifled with!
Cindy immediately responded happily: "Okay!"
With the appearance of high-level troops and even heroic units from both sides, the battle became more and more intense.
Levi also quickly used his chess skills to successfully send some low- and medium-level summons to Arkhan, causing some damage to him.
And in order to force the opponent's Skeleton King and Dragon God to a decisive battle, the Punisher then went after the Zombie King.
The opponent is too big a threat if he stays on the field all the time, so it is better to start the fight as soon as possible and find out the opponent's strengths.
It would be best if he could kill the opponent, but if not, he can also arrange the next plan based on the opponent's actual situation after the battle.
Should he directly chase with the little female dragon and high-level Red Flame and kill the opponent by force, or should he avoid the opponent's sharp edge and attack Arkhan's body directly?
Unable to avoid the situation, the Skeleton King and the Zombie King quickly started fierce battles with the Dragon Chief Messenger and the Punisher respectively.
At that time, Levi focused almost all his attention on them.
They know their own business. If they are no match for their opponents, then they can only count on the Sphinx.
The only thing to be thankful for is that they don't have to fight to the death, as this chessboard battle allows summons to surrender.
Then Levi also witnessed the fighting power of the two powerful undead. Except that the Skeleton King was not as fast as the Terror Knight, he was a more powerful version in other aspects and could also carry out long-range attacks with Hellfire.
Its only weakness is that it can't fly.
In ordinary large-scale wars, this weakness is not actually fatal because it has more friendly forces.
But in a one-on-one fight, this weakness is magnified countless times.
So after a one-sided destruction, it was quickly killed by the dragon-headed messenger who was looking down on it with a violent magic bombardment, and its bones were scattered all over the ground.
But just when Levi thought the battle was about to end, in just a few seconds, the bones quickly gathered into a human form again, and it was actually resurrected!
But Akhan did not give the Dragon Lord a second chance. He just groaned and chose to admit defeat.
Although he lost this small battle, the Skeleton King suffered no losses, and he also took the opportunity to roughly understand the abilities of the Dragon Chief Messenger.
It can only be said that the situation is not optimistic. Even with his most proud treasure, the Heavy Armored Corpse Dragon, it is almost impossible for him to defeat the opponent in a one-on-one duel.
Then, like Levi, he focused his attention on the battle between the Punisher and the Zombie King.
Then within half a minute of the fight starting, Levi and Cindy both started laughing, while Arkhan felt more and more angry and aggrieved.
Because his Undying Corpse King was once again perfectly restrained by the opponent!
Although the number of small zombies it summoned was large, the opponent had a small-scale split attack.
Often, those it summons are not as fast as those the other side can destroy, so it has no chance to use them as a medium to perform other skills!
Seeing that his opponent was getting stronger and stronger, and the negative states such as poison and curse imposed by the Undying King had little actual effect, Arkhan simply admitted defeat again.
His Undying Corpse King does not have the Skeleton King's resurrection ability. If it were lost here, it would be a waste of its power.
And when he made this decision, he didn't feel as painful as he had imagined.
Then he immediately realized that this was because he had unconsciously formed a vague idea: losing to the opponent was not completely unacceptable.
The thought made him feel angry, ashamed, and helpless.
Although his luck today was indeed very bad and he failed to summon a few truly powerful creatures from beginning to end, he summoned two heroic undead creatures in succession, but they were both cracked by the opponent in a targeted manner.
Even if he summoned the Bone Dragon, the Ghost Dragon and the Corpse Dragon, wouldn't the opponent continue to counter his moves?
He had to admit that if he failed today, it would not only be blamed on luck, but also on his arrogance!
If he had launched a strong attack at the beginning and not resorted to the chessboard battle at all, so many things would not have happened, and his relationship with Neferta might not have reached the freezing point again.
When he thought of this, he finally regretted it. If he had been more decisive before...
But no matter how he thought about it, the battle continued and became increasingly unfavorable to him.
Soon, more summoned creatures belonging to Levi's side approached him and attacked him.
With the successive victories of the Dragon Archangel and the Punisher, the summons on the field by Arkhan's side were completely vulnerable in front of them.
Even though his luck turned around a little later and he summoned out multiple Terror Knights, a Bone Dragon and a Ghost Dragon, it was still not enough to turn the tide of the battle. Instead, it aroused the anger of the Dragon Chief Messenger and the little female dragon.
After a little more time, Levi finally completed the entire layout. He directly ordered the summoned creatures to launch a full-scale attack.
Wherever he passed, it was like destroying dry wood and rotten wood. Arkhan's summons were soon completely cleared out, and Levi's summons also reached the limit.
At this point, even if Arkhan still didn't give up struggling, he knew that the outcome of the battle was already decided.
Unless a miracle happens and he can summon three heavily-armored corpse dragons at once, he will have a chance of defeating the dragon-headed gods on the field who are in slightly poor condition due to multiple battles.
But hope did not appear. Soon, the Dragon Chief Messenger, the Punisher, the little female dragon, the high-level Red Flame Messenger, etc., successfully joined forces and surrounded Arkhan.
Even though he knew that his body would not be harmed during the chessboard battle, Arkhan was still somewhat frightened when he saw the many enemies eyeing him covetously.
He was indeed extremely powerful, and could be considered to be proficient in both magic and martial arts, but the opponent was too close to him, and he instinctively felt threatened.
Seeing that victory or defeat was decided, he no longer resisted, but just looked at Levi very seriously, as if he wanted to imprint him deeply in his heart.
"What a shame, I would lose to a guy who's not even a legend."
Levi smiled slightly: "You may think it is a shame now, but one day, you may regard it as an honor, because you just lost."
But he didn't die.
Although Levi did not say the last four words directly, Akhan certainly understood the meaning.
He couldn't help but snort: "Did you know that I just defeated the incarnation of Tefnut?"
Levi clapped his hands politely and praised: "You are indeed very powerful, but it's a pity that I didn't see the whole process with my own eyes."
He originally thought that Tefnut might be a hidden boss, and even though she was defeated by Arkhan, he still did not underestimate her.
Because the bronze lion-headed gods guarding the Bronze City are always a suspicious point that cannot be avoided.
But his estimate of her strength was indeed lowered a lot because of this.
If she really had hidden powers like Lilith, she wouldn't have been defeated by Arkhan like this.
Not to mention that based on the information he currently has, the Egyptian gods would never play any tricks like "playing the pig and eating the tiger". They attach great importance to their own face.
And if she fails, Arkhan will directly take away the Nine Volumes of Nagash and even prepare the ceremony to resurrect Nagash.
etc……
Levi suddenly realized a problem. As Nagash's old enemy, the Egyptian gods must also know that the reason why Arkhan collected the nine volumes, in addition to the knowledge and power attached to them, what he really wanted to do was to resurrect Nagash.
So if she deliberately lost the battle and let Arkhan take it, was it so that he could resurrect Nagash as soon as possible, and then the Egyptian gods would wait and see for a permanent solution?
The legendary Egyptian god-king Osiris, or Set and Sobek, etc., certainly did not have this wisdom.
It’s not that he looks down on them, but based on their past performance, they really don’t have the wisdom and vision.
But if Tefnut is really a hidden BOSS, and she is the grandmother of the current God-King, she may indeed play this trick.
Anyway, what she showed to the outside world was a useless person with no combat priesthood or domain. Her defeat to the famous Arkhan would not surprise people or gods too much.
In this case, one's actions might conflict with their plans.
But Levi changed his mind and realized that this was just a possibility he had speculated. It might not be true, but he was just scaring himself.
What's more, even if Tefnut really intended to do this, he is now snatching Nagash's things from Arkhan. What does it have to do with you Egyptian gods?
If you want to continue to implement the plan, that's fine, just show your sincerity and offer some actual benefits!
Of course, Akhan had no way of knowing that Levi had thought of so many things in such a short moment.
He was just a little surprised that the other party, with his strength and age, defeated a veteran legendary strongman like him, but he didn't show much pride and arrogance, but instead praised him?
But when he thought about it again, he felt very uncomfortable.
The winner's praise of the loser is more painful to the loser than sarcasm and insults.
The stronger he, the loser, is it not true that the winner appears even more powerful?
Arkhan snorted again: "Another person who wants to be deified? The Seventh Heaven Mountain can't do that."
Except for the first generation of gods, most of the existing gods have been promoted to gods by inheriting the priesthood and divinity of other gods, or by being granted by other gods.
The most recent person to truly ascend to godhood through his own power was the founding emperor of the Sigmar Empire, now known as Sigmar the God-Emperor.
But that was two thousand years ago.
He also suspected that there were other gods secretly helping him, because Nagash, who once surpassed Sigmar and had impeccable talent, had been struggling for so long but had not been able to find a way to become a god.
There is no reason why Sigmar, who was originally a barbarian warrior, would be better and more talented than Nagash in this regard.
Levi just smiled and said nothing. Lilith had placed the fragments of the snakeman's priesthood in front of him before.
Even though Arkhan is very powerful, he or Nagash have probably never seen such a thing, right?
Although he didn't say anything this time, Akhan was still keenly aware that after he said this, the other party seemed to suddenly have an inexplicable sense of superiority, which immediately made him very unhappy.
Just at this time, another round ended and he lost dozens of health points again. Seeing that he was about to lose, he became more and more unhappy.
In addition to the Nine Volumes of Nagash, he also put in a lot of treasures in order to offset the other items added by the other party.
If he lost some of these things, even he would feel sad.
After the soul fire in his eye sockets shook violently, Arkhan spoke again: "Levi, right? I remember your name. I hope you will not be blinded by the small interests in front of you. You need to focus on the future. Only Nagash can change that desperate fate."
Levi found it a little funny: "You did it even though you knew it was impossible. Is it because you are really loyal, or because you have been affected by Nagash's magic without knowing it?"
He knew that Arkhan and Nagash had died in battle several times in the past, and each time, they tried their best to resurrect each other.
And based on the information he had seen in history, Arkhan was undoubtedly an excellent subordinate who possessed wisdom, strength and loyalty.
Unfortunately, they are now standing in completely opposite camps. Their heroes are my enemies, and he can only try his best to fight against them.
Although he didn't think that he could successfully alienate the other party with just these two sentences, it didn't cost any money anyway, right?
But he never expected that after listening, although Arkhan did not say a word, the soul fire representing his eyes shook violently, indicating that he really heard it.
Because for the powerful undead, if there is ever a time when they are at their weakest, being resurrected by others is undoubtedly one of them.
But before Levi could say more, Arkhan had already readjusted his state. He snorted coldly: "Trying to alienate me? You are too naive."
Seeing that Levi was about to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Don't waste your breath. Don't you want to collect the nine volumes of Nagash? Well, then I'll tell you."
"One is in the dwarf's Eight Peaks treasure house, one is in the hands of the magic toad Mazda Moody, and the other is in the hands of Manfred in Sylvania. If you are not afraid of death, go and get them."
Levi raised his eyebrows. Through his perception and intelligence, he could confirm that the first two were true. The third one was not certain for the time being, but there was also a high possibility.
As the ruler of Sylvania, Manfred is not one of the original vampires, but only the second generation, but he is still undoubtedly one of the most powerful vampires.
Moreover, intelligence shows that his ancestor, Vlad von Carstein, who raised him as his own son, also possessed a bloodstone ring with a similar effect to the one Lucia possessed, and both had the ability to resurrect vampires.
But before a great war, the ring suddenly disappeared, leading to Vlad's death. Afterwards, the ring appeared in Manfred's hands. The truth seemed to be self-evident.
Being powerful and ambitious, and possessing a bloodstone ring, of course he would think of collecting the Nine Volumes of Nagash.
But Akhan told all three pieces of information so readily, obviously he had no good intentions.
He knew this information, but he had never been able to obtain it because he had no way of getting it. These three forces were not people he could afford to provoke, so he thought about charging into battle.
Needless to say, the dwarves come in groups. As the most important treasure house of the dwarves, the Eight Peaks Mountain is undoubtedly a forbidden place for all dwarves. Even the dwarf gods have their eyes on it.
Mazda Moody, known as the "Horse Master", can command almost all guardian-type lizardmen, skinks, monitors and their various dinosaurs.
It is not an exaggeration to say that his appeal in the main world and the military force he can mobilize are far stronger than more than 90% of the gods.
In comparison, Manfred may be the weakest.
But with the province of Sylvania, he was able to compete with the Sigmar Empire in the west.
In the east, they can also defend against the dwarves and greenskins in the mountains, and occasionally deal with the expeditionary forces sent by the ice kingdom - Kislev, as well as demon hunters like Sonia's family. Their strength should not be underestimated.
Even in Lilith's opinion, Manfred's personal strength is actually stronger than that of the Vampire Queen.
Moreover, their external strategies are completely different. The vampire queen emphasizes more on charm and infiltration, and her vampire maids are spread all over the world. Maybe the maids or concubines of some nobles are vampires.
Manfred had accumulated rich experience in defeats and learned a great deal of military command skills in his battles with the coalition forces of the Empire, the Dwarves, etc.
And one thing may surprise many outsiders. Although his army suffered more defeats than victories in foreign wars, his undead army was always growing stronger.
This resulted in the Empire and others being victorious all the way, but before they knew it, their troops were almost all killed, and then a counterattack by Manfred would completely wipe out all their gains.
Manfred lost face but won substance.
If he went there rashly, no matter which of these three forces taught him a lesson, Akhan would have indirectly taken revenge.
If he could succeed by chance, then he would be able to rely on the connection between the nine volumes of Nagash to come to him and snatch the fruits of victory.
And even if none of them succeed, it doesn’t really matter.
Just like he had just tried to alienate the other party from Nagash, it doesn't cost any money anyway!
After looking at each other, they both felt that the other was difficult to deal with and would definitely be a formidable opponent when they tried to collect the nine volumes of Nagash in the future.
In comparison, Levi has even more headaches.
He had no idea how much effort the opponent had put in, because in past battles, Arkhan was not really known for his summoning spells. He was more like a general with great command.
When he occasionally takes action, either all the enemies are killed and there is not much intelligence at all, or he uses unreasonable instant death spells.
But he has tried his best.
Apart from anything else, it would be difficult for him to defeat the Dragon Lord without using summoned creatures, but Arkhan could definitely defeat the Skeleton King and the Zombie King easily.
However, he would not underestimate himself. He did not know how many years it took Arkhan to reach his current strength, and whether he had regressed during that time.
But Nagash is a super immortal who was born more than four thousand years ago and has lived longer than most gods.
Well, that might not be quite accurate, because he was actually dead most of the time, waiting to be resurrected.
If placed in a 5V5 competitive game, he is very fierce in team battles, but often after a wave of violent output, he will have to count down in the fountain for a long time, and the resurrection time is super super long.
Arkhan was probably captured by Nagash when he was between 100 and 400 years old. The exact time is unknown, but one thing is certain, he is also an immortal who is over 4000 years old.
The time Levi spent to reach his current level is less than one thousandth or even one ten-thousandth of that of the other party. It is not him who should be ashamed, but the other party!
It was not known whether he was left speechless by Levi's words or he felt he had no face to continue arguing, but in the next few rounds, Arkhan did not struggle at all and just allowed the numerous summons to attack him until his health points dropped to zero.
After taking a deep look at Levi, Akhan said nothing more, but let the magic circle of the chessboard teleport him away.
This broken chessboard was the first time he used it after getting it, but he did not expect that it would cause him to suffer unprecedented losses.
And he would no longer be able to explore certain secrets contained in it, because it was also one of the objects placed on the scale.
Seeing Arkhan leave in disgrace, Levi felt a little relieved, but Arkhan should be ashamed because his health points had returned to zero, while his were still 100.
From beginning to end, none of his summons actually came to him.
But we can't be too complacent, there are too many unexpected events in this battle.
Arkhan himself has bad luck, and most of the dice are 1-5.
This resulted in him being unable to take advantage of his military strength, and his own shortcomings in chess skills were magnified countless times.
In addition to being backstabbed by Neferata and having two heroic undeads targeted by Levi and Cindy, his mentality was a little broken.
But if he encounters a similar situation again next time, Levi is not sure if he can achieve such a victory.
But no matter what, a win is a win, and the chessboard gave him the recognition he deserved.
Following a series of system prompts, Levi directly obtained nearly 20 items. Naturally, he first looked at the eighth of the nine volumes of Nagash - the Book of Avoidance from Disasters.
Similar to the Tome of Wisdom and the Tome of Death, it also has 5 effects, among which Bind Soul, Unholy Oath and Echo of the Nine Volumes are the same.
There are two differences. The first one is called Disaster Avoidance, and the holder's luck will never be lower than 0.
The second one is named Jie'e, and he will greatly increase the resistance to negative states such as plague, toxins and curses.
By consuming magic, this effect can also be applied to other people, and if there is enough magic value, there is theoretically no limit on the number of people and range.
After seeing these two names, Levi's first reaction was that Nagash must have had communication with the Zhendan Empire, because these two names were too oriental.
His second reaction was that from now on, he would become the nemesis of the Skaven!
In addition to the dimensional black technology, mutated beasts and many other things at the moment, the most troubling thing about the ratmen to many races is their plague.
This thing is different from ordinary negative states. Although it can also be easily purified by priests, there are too many ways for it to spread.
Whether hunting or eating animals or ratmen infected with the plague, having close contact with the sick, or being bitten by flying insects, etc., one may be infected with the plague.
Not to mention that the rats will be very insidious and poison various water sources, or simply throw rotten corpses to pollute the environment.
Although the direct damage caused by this plague is not obvious compared to the ratmen's swords, anyone with a little strength can withstand it for a while.
But for civilians who generally have little health, they become very dangerous.
There are even many ignorant people among the people who have begun to spread panic rumors, calling it the end-of-the-world plague.
But now this Jieye is its nemesis, but its specific effect can only be known after actual testing.
Next is a set of three combined treasures, the Bow of the Tree Elf, the Mane of the Divine Beast and the Sky Feather Arrow. Their effects are respectively +5%, +10% and +15% for ranged troop attacks.
After the combination, it becomes a legendary special treasure - Phantom Bow, the effects are integrated into 30%, and the campaign skill - Projectile, no longer reduces attack power and hit rate.
Campaign Skill - Archery has two bonuses for ranged units: one is the basic value, and the other is an additional value based on the attack (campaign attribute) of the leading hero.
The power of the Phantom Bow is determined by the attack power of the soldier itself. The stronger the soldier is, the greater the bonus he will receive.
Projectiles originally traded attack power and hit rate for maximum range and the ability to overcome obstacles to a certain extent.
But now with the Phantom Bow, all the disadvantages of projectiles have disappeared, leaving only advantages, which is extremely exaggerated.
If Donna were to equip this weapon, the strength of Avalon and other soldiers under her command would be greatly improved. Even ordinary level 6 soldiers would not be able to stand in front of them.
As for the equipment requirements, they are advanced archery, campaign level 10 and attack power 15, and now Donna meets all of them.
At the same time, it also has the capabilities of a battle treasure and a weapon. Although its attack power cannot be compared with the Scourge of the Elf Betrayer, it is much stronger than ordinary epic bows.
There are two special skills:
1. Phantom Arrows. When shooting, there is a 50% chance that 1-2 arrows will appear randomly. The arrows have no attack power and are intended to disrupt the enemy's vision. But the good thing is that it is a passive effect and does not require any magic points.
2. Arrow Storm, charge for 3 seconds, consumes 50 magic points, randomly shoots 10-30 arrows, each arrow has 50% attack power.
Although the attack power is a bit low, it is still a range attack skill after all, so there is no shortage of opportunities to play.
As a legendary item, it also has the treasure curse.
The first is that it needs to occupy one weapon slot and three campaign treasure slots at the same time, but compared with its powerful effect, this negative effect is insignificant.
Secondly, after holding it for three days, there is a possibility that a certain wood elf force will become hostile to them.
Depending on Levi and Donna's camp, race, etc., the other party may take different actions.
Including but not limited to demanding, redeeming or declaring war, etc., because this thing was originally a treasure of the Wood Elves, but the previous owner was killed by Arkhan.
But Levi was not afraid at all. No matter who it originally belonged to, he had taken it from Arkhan. There was absolutely no reason to give it away for no reason.
You can't take it back by yourself, and now you want to come to me to get a bargain? No way!
Next is a pair of legendary weapons - Sanye Duijian: attack power 12-18.
1, +3 strength;
2, +3 Agility;
3, +15% attack and movement speed;
4, +10 magic resistance;
5. Cripple, passive skill, attack has a 15% chance to reduce the opponent's movement speed and attack speed by 5%-15%, lasting for 3 seconds;
6. Moonlight Transmogrification, an active skill, three times a day, you can use an immediate action to transform one or two weapons into a short sword, long sword or long knife (only the appearance changes, it will not affect the attack power attribute).
(One is Sanhua, the other is Yasha. The moonlight shines on them and they resonate with each other. When the two swords are combined, they can exert greater power.)
The attack power of this pair of weapons is very low, but the overall effect is very good. Unfortunately, Levi's subordinates do not have access to such weapons for the time being.
Warriors such as Elegy, Cindy and Alduin all chose the more violent two-handed sword and warhammer.
So Levi decided to hand it over to Sonia for the time being. She is currently trying to figure out which weapon is more suitable for her. Maybe she will think they will be very good?
Then there is something that Levi particularly values, which is also a legendary item - the Endless Gold Bag: it provides 10 gold coins every day.
That’s it, it’s just that plain and simple.
Although Levi can earn a lot of 10 gold coins by killing some monsters or selling a few Death Guards every day, no one can deny its power. It can even become a family heirloom of a force.
And according to the extent to which the scale had sunk that Levi had seen before, the chessboard's judgment of its value was dozens of times higher than that of the equally legendary San Ye Dui Jian.
Finally, there is the chessboard, the key item that will allow Levi to benefit from this time.
It is also of legendary level, but after actually getting it, Levi discovered that its ability is not as good as he imagined.
It has no additional attributes, and its only function is to allow two mages to engage in a chessboard battle.
Since he had just participated in it personally, Levi had a general understanding of the general content.
What really made him frown was the conditions for its use.
The chessboard battle initiated by it can only proceed smoothly after both parties agree.
As a result, its effectiveness is greatly reduced.
Levi thought about it for a long time and felt that there were probably only two ways in which it could be really useful.
One is to challenge the strong, or play the pig to eat the tiger. The other party thinks you are weak and his winning rate is very high, so he is naturally likely to accept it.
Another possibility is that if the opponent is not sure he can defeat you in a fight, or if you have something he desperately wants, he may naturally agree to a chessboard battle.
In other words, he could find a way to play chess with Arkhan again in the future, and then snatch the war shackles from his hands, so that he could force the enemy to play chess.
But apart from that, its name and its notes made Levi very interested.
Prank of Gun and Chess: A gift made by a rude old father for his daughter. Unfortunately, due to poor craftsmanship, it ended up becoming a prank.
Levi originally thought that it would most likely be related to summoning or mages, but he didn't expect it to have such a background.
This inevitably led him to launch a series of associations.
What kind of existence, without much skill, could create such a special legendary equipment that can protect both summoners and make the flow of time inside and outside different?
Qiangbanqi generally refers to those chess games with chessboard and chess pieces, including Gobang, checkers, watermelon chess and chess, etc.
Coincidentally, the owner of another chessboard on his body - the Crimson Knight, is known as the master of gun and board chess.
Tempus, the human god of war whom she regarded as a father, was undoubtedly a rude old father who only knew how to fight all day long.
So the truth of the matter seems to be very obvious.
On the surface, the chessboard seems to be just a legendary item with many restrictions, but its actual value may be no less than that of the Phantom Bow and the Book of Avoidance!
