Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 451 Great Advancement in Strength
Fortunately, Michaela was very reliable and did not make Levi wait too long. She arrived quickly within the agreed time.
"Congratulations, Levi!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Michaela!"
Looking at the things in his hands, the two types of troops on the ground, the multiple Sky Slashers floating in the air, and the groups of flying beasts.
Levi was particularly satisfied with one of the handsome giant birds, which was about four or five meters long, as crystal clear as ice, and at the same time gorgeous and majestic.
As always, Lilith was so generous this time.
His military rank was directly promoted to general. In addition to the further enhancement of various bonuses and the replacement of the blue commander's order with a purple general's order, he also unlocked two special permissions.
The first is to confer military titles. He can grant military titles no higher than lieutenant to his subordinates, including but not limited to high elves, elven subraces (except dark elves and drow elves), half-elves, humans, Amazons, etc.
If he wants to do so, he can consume his own military merit points, or he can let them take on the corresponding military merit tasks on their own and then accumulate a certain number of points.
Compared to before, the flexibility has been improved many times. As long as you reach the rank of lieutenant, you can get a bonus of 50 points each of life and magic, and 300 points of leadership.
This is undoubtedly a significant improvement for both warrior-type characters like Elegy and Cindy, and mage-type characters like Sefa and Sally.
Lisadiran might be even happier because after following Levi for so long, he finally has the possibility of regaining his original military position.
The second authority is war mobilization. He can mobilize other indigenous people or gods' chosen heroes with lower military ranks than himself to attack or plunder the stronghold of a hostile force, or ambush an army or something.
But this is not unconditional. The other party may refuse when they are not strong enough to protect themselves or have other things to do.
And once the other party accepts, Levi also needs to provide the other party with reasonable task rewards, including but not limited to gold coins , equipment, skills and arms, etc.
Levi felt that this might be more convenient and easier to use on the indigenous people.
Because all the high elves have a strong sense of honor, each of them is a defender of their homeland and hates evil. If conditions permit, they will definitely be happy to fight alongside Levi.
But if it is a hero chosen by God, then he may pay more attention to material rewards such as money.
Next is the promotion of the title, Earl: Charisma +5, four dimensions of campaign attributes +1, Leadership +2000, the reputation improvement speed in the ten kingdoms of the high elves and their affiliated colonies is increased by 20%.
Other things are fine, but the bonus to leadership is really strong. If it were a low-level troop, he would be qualified to command thousands of troops on his own, which could barely be called a legion.
If he could go one step further, he would become a prince of the high elves with both military and political power .
At that level, he would not only be able to make a name for himself in the various kingdoms of the High Elf, but he would also be able to manage a military fortress or overseas colony as a commander.
They also have certain qualifications to represent the entire high elf race and handle foreign affairs.
If the leader of the kingdom dies for some reason, he is even eligible to participate in the competition.
As for the privileges in recruiting soldiers, learning spells, etc., they are countless.
However, even for him, it might not be easy to do it in a short period of time.
It's not just because of his military merit points or personal strength, but also because his power and connections are seriously insufficient.
The most obvious thing is that he is a high elf, but except for Lisadiran and a few recently promoted sisters of Avalon, he has no outstanding heroic units of his own race...
Even though Lilith was very good to him and the Dragon Prince Imrik was also very friendly to him, in order to be justified, he still needed to train more heroes of his own race.
This was also what the Dragon Prince and Michaela specifically told him.
As for the military types, there is no need to say much about Avalon. There are a total of 5 teams. Their addition with the Sky Slasher airship can further enhance the combat effectiveness of the long-range units led by Donna.
There is also one squad of griffins and three squads of giant eagles as supporting air guards.
Levi plans to acquire more riding skills recently and turn them into mounts for the Huntress or Avalon.
Next came some super strong men who were holding phoenix-head halberds, wearing dark golden armor, and tall, exaggerated helmets that looked like phoenix wings. They were all over two meters one in height.
Although they were as silent as stone and even a little unsettling, their eyes were shining with a light like flames. Levi could also sense that there was a divine power surrounding them.
They are the special forces of the first God-King of the Elves, Asuryan, the Level 5 Phoenix Guards.
They are also the infantry with the strongest defense among the High Elves and are best at fighting against cavalry and large units.
Their attributes and skills are fully worthy of their status. In all aspects, they are the ultimate enhanced version of the Silver Guards, such as resisting charges, countering large forces, breaking armor and causing fear, etc.
In addition, they have two special skills.
The first one is called Blessing of Asuryan, which reduces physical and magical damage by 30.
Simple, crude, but undoubtedly extremely practical.
Combined with the defensive power of their own armor and the bonus of the hero, their defense will be increased to an extremely exaggerated level.
Nominally they are level 5 troops, but in fact they can hold out for a certain period of time even against ordinary level 6 troops.
It is precisely because of this skill that they have become the strongest meat shield troops of the High Elves, and it also makes all the elves firmly believe that Asuryan will return one day.
The second one is called the Oath of Silence. Since deciding to become the Phoenix Guard, they have vowed never to speak again and can only communicate through gestures and eye contact. This is the price they need to pay.
The reward is that their resistance to various curses and mental magic is improved to a certain extent.
If there is any weakness, it is probably that they are wearing heavy armor, and their attack speed and movement speed are relatively slow, but in Levi's team, this is not a problem.
As long as they can hold their line firmly, he has plenty of ways to defeat the enemy.
This time, Michaela brought two teams, totaling 24 Phoenix Guards.
Although the number of people is small, Levi has no complaints, because the Phoenix Guards usually guard the Temple of Asuryan, and only in recent years have they gradually begun to serve as the personal guards of many princes and princesses.
No matter where they are, there will never be too many of them. The last time we took back the Black Castle, in such an important battle, the number of Phoenix Guards that appeared was less than three digits.
Not to mention, the Dragon Prince also equipped him with an extra level 5 elite team leader.
Compared to his companions, this elf nicknamed Flame Heart, whose real name is unknown, is not only as silent as ever, but he also has fire resistance and the ability to enchant weapons and armor with flames.
After updating his equipment slightly and introducing him to his many subordinates, considering that he was unable to speak, Levi decided to equip him with a few more supervisory sub-aircrafters at all times for communication purposes.
Then his attention gradually shifted to the last type of soldier, which was also his next mount, the level 7 Frostheart Phoenix.
It and Michaela's Blazing Phoenix are two extremes, not only in attributes, but also in the tendencies of attributes and skills.
The Frostheart Phoenix is best at defense, which is even stronger than most ordinary dragons of the same level. Its second best strength is speed and flexibility.
In addition to its extremely outstanding attributes, especially its health exceeding 3,000, all of its ordinary attacks are regarded as ice magic attacks, and it is immune to conventional curses, diseases, toxins and mental magic.
Then there are some ice-attribute magic, such as Frost Arrows, Frost Armor, Frost Breath, etc. The attack power is generally not high, but they generally have the ability to slow down or even freeze weak enemies.
Then it has two special skills.
Ice Harmony, by driving the power of magic, it can further enhance its own defense and magic resistance. It can consume its own magic points as well as Levi's.
And its famous skill - Blizzard Halo.
Every flap of the Frostheart Phoenix's wings brings biting cold winds and knife-like ice fragments.
This may not be enough to harm overly powerful enemies, but the attack power, attack speed and movement speed of all enemy forces within its 35-meter diameter will be affected to varying degrees.
Since it is a flying unit, when it floats in the air, it can affect the enemy's ground and air units at the same time.
The area covered by a single Frostheart Phoenix might be small, but if eight or ten of them could be gathered together, the effect would be quite exaggerated.
And this is a passive skill that does not require any consumption.
During the most glorious and peak period of the High Elves' past, one of their commonly used tactics was to use the Frostheart Phoenix as the core, lead the charge against the enemy, reduce the enemy's various capabilities, and then have the dragons and others reap the rewards.
If the enemy accidentally lets the Frostheart Phoenix rush into the positions of archers and other ranged units, then the slowed-down enemy forces will inevitably suffer losses, the only difference is the amount.
The only regret is that the Frostheart Phoenix cannot be reborn like the Blazing Phoenix, but there is nothing that can be done about it, as there are gains and losses.
Next are several kinds of magic, including a level 4 portal that allows short-distance teleportation and can be opened to escape in critical moments. It is a life-saving spell commonly used by mid- and high-level wizards.
A rather rare 7th-level magic - gravity reversal.
As the name suggests, depending on the strength of the enemy and our side, the intelligence and level of the caster, etc., it is possible to reverse the gravity on the target and send them flying.
When the magic duration ends, or the wizard decides to end the spell, the target will fall from the sky according to inertia.
If the target does not have the ability to fly or float, then the end will undoubtedly be very tragic, and often the larger the tonnage, the more severe the fall.
If it is a flying unit, once the gravity is reversed, if the opponent cannot react in time and make corresponding adjustments, it may also crash directly into the ground and suffer serious damage.
Compared with the previous application method, this trick may not be used very frequently in actual combat, because it is purely bullying the opponent for being brainless.
This magic was also a special request made by Levi, because they would have to deal with the dark elves next, and those Hydras were very difficult to deal with.
But if you reverse the opponent's gravity and make him fly to a height of 100 meters, even if he doesn't fall into a pile of meat, he will definitely be close to death.
As for the last one, it is the Yangyan Explosion that Levi has been thinking about all the time, and it is also his first 8th-level magic.
There is no need to say much about this powerful magic that possesses both light and fire attributes. Levi only knows that Michaela clearly told him that any non-legendary vampire or other undead who is hit head-on will basically die.
If it were any other miscellaneous soldiers, it would be very normal to kill two or three hundred of them with one shot.
As for its weakness, like other powerful magic, one is that it takes a long time to cast.
Another thing is that you need to choose the right timing, otherwise you might accidentally kill both friendly forces and enemies.
But compared to its powerful force, none of this matters.
Overall, Levi was very satisfied this time.
Levi changed to the Frostheart Phoenix on the spot, and the original brave Frostflame Griffin was handed over to the Thorn Sister - Kerillian.
He had roughly figured out these few days that Kerillian's level might not be high, not as good as Sonia's, but she had really gone through a lot of training in the past, and she could handle almost all tasks.
You can be a deputy to Donna, Luna and others, and you can also command the priest units and cooperate with Alyssa.
But if that were all, it would be a bit of a waste of her talent.
So Levi decided to give her a separate task, which was to command the flying troops, including archers and war beasts such as griffins and giant eagles.
Donna had been in charge of this mission before because she needed them to protect the Sky Slasher, but Levi felt that they could do more.
But now, Levi still has one thing to do.
After arranging the new subordinates, he turned to look at Michaela, who was very impressed because she knew about his recent progress.
"Mikaela, I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining me in beating up a ghost dragon?"
