Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 454: Qiu Shuang Village
After receiving the system prompt, Levi nodded with satisfaction. This thing could confirm the other party's sincerity better than anything else.
After briefly explaining to Selina the relevant rules of driving the Death Guards, Levi also delegated the authority to her, allowing her to make targeted allocations to different elegant spirits.
Now that they have joined me, the first thing I should do is to strengthen the village’s combat effectiveness.
As long as those magic units can make good use of the Death Guards and let them act as meat shields and cannon fodder, there will be almost no danger when facing ordinary enemies.
He himself began to quickly browse the situation in the village.
The name of the village is Qiu Shuang, and its members are mainly the two types of elegant spirits, autumn and winter, with a small number of spring and summer elegant spirits occasionally mixed in.
The total population is 563, mainly archers, supplemented by warriors and thieves, and followed by a small number of mages and druids.
Although most of them are only level 2-3, there are less than 50 level 4, and only a single-digit number of level 5, and the only hero unit is Selina herself at level 8/5, they are truly a nation of soldiers.
Since Levi already had Qiu Feng under his command, he was very familiar with the Elegant Spirit of Autumn.
The Winter Elves mainly rely on cold power and can cast Mist Spell, Wind Spell and Ice Cone several times a day. Since this is their racial talent, even warriors can use it.
Xia Zhi Ya Ling mainly uses fire enchantments and is a magic warrior with strong frontal combat capabilities.
The Spring Elegant Spirit is good at charm, confusion and illusion abilities, and is more inclined to be auxiliary.
Selina is proficient in both cold and lightning spells, which is very rare for a winter spirit. She is also the leader of the village.
It was precisely because her lightning had extra restraint on beast spirits, and because she was also proficient in tactics, the elegant elves cooperated well, and most importantly, the nearby enemies were not particularly strong, so they were able to barely defend the village.
There's not much to say about those mages and warriors. At most, because of Yaling's talent, they all have some knowledge of bows and arrows.
The druids were a little special, though, because almost all of them caught some beast spirits in the wild as pets, with an average of two or three per person.
However, unlike the big cats that Donna has carefully trained and have extraordinary strength, they are not really used as pets. They are basically pure consumables.
In the eyes of the elegant spirits, losing some beast spirits and then catching some more outside is much better than having any elegant spirits die, right?
The talents of the elegant spirits are still very outstanding, and they are also very suitable to become believers of gods.
Generally speaking, the power of faith that believers can provide is closely related to their level of piety and wisdom.
It has little to do with their strength, at least below the legendary level.
This is why, even though the dragons are so few in number and are at war with each other, they are still able to support two dragon gods.
The number of goblins, kobolds, and ratmen may be several times greater than that of elves and dwarves combined, but the important reason is that their gods are far inferior to the elven gods in both number and strength.
Based on the current environment of the Elvens, Levi believes that they may even be more suitable and easier to become loyal believers than ordinary elves.
Most elves living in a peaceful environment believe in God because they have something to ask of God and it is the custom of their race.
But the elegant spirits may face the crisis of death at any time. The gods can grant them power and save them from life and death, so it is naturally easier for them to cultivate faith.
The only problem is that there are almost no elderly Yalings in the village, and there are very few young Yalings as well, less than 20 in total, and the male to female ratio is as high as 1:9.
From this data alone, we can roughly see how miserable the past days of the Yalings were, because those Yalings were killed by various enemies.
As for the village's buildings, apart from the well-preserved fortifications such as the fences and watchtowers at the entrance of the village, they only have a blacksmith shop and a communication magic house for communicating with other villages.
Next are a few mushroom fields, corn fields, and a small medicinal garden.
After the priests collectively lost their power, they could only use the most primitive herbs to treat the wounded. In fact, almost all magic units in the village also served as pharmacists.
But the village doesn't even have a decent warehouse, because there are not so many resources to store under normal circumstances.
If the Elfs themselves were not a magical race and not completely dependent on food, they would probably have starved to death long ago.
Seeing this, Levi couldn't help but sigh. In a village without any God-given buildings, reproduction and training of soldiers all rely on survival. Facing countless enemies in the wild, if you are not miserable, then who will be miserable?
Oh, by the way, in addition to this, there is also a temple to Corellon in the village.
Unfortunately, although it consumes the most resources of the village, it is also the most useless existence and is completely useless.
This situation has lasted for five or six years. Although the Yalings have not given up completely, they have never received any response.
After taking a general look, Selena stood beside Levi again, seeming ready to serve him at any time.
As for the distribution of the Death Guards, she handed it over to several of her lieutenants.
She was undoubtedly the most outstanding of all the eladrin existing on this plane, but she still needed lieutenants.
It was not to share the burden with her, but simply to prevent her from dying in battle one day so that the village would still have a wise leader.
Levi simply asked all his other questions at the same time.
Then he learned that this plane was 300 miles from east to west and 700 miles from north to south. Most of the area was grassland, with occasional mountains and swamps, which might be less than one-tenth of the total area.
In general, if we don't consider the enemy and only look at the environment, it is still very suitable for intelligent races to survive and reproduce.
Just looking at the thriving plants outside, I guess no matter what you plant, the harvest won’t be too bad.
Moreover, the area here is almost equal to that of two South Korean countries, or 12 Beijings in reality.
I can’t say how many more there are, but as long as we kill all those wild beasts and ghosts, it would be very, very easy to feed hundreds of thousands of people even if we rely purely on agriculture.
After all, as early as the Song Dynasty, Beijing alone had a population of 500,000 to 600,000.
As for the two moons in the sky, they are also very unique.
According to Selina, they are not entities, but projections of two moons, so they are always hanging there, and there is no distinction between day and night in this plane.
This is somewhat disadvantageous for the elegant spirits.
They needed to rest, but there was no telling when those trolls and beast spirits would come and attack them.
The guards have to be on their toes all the time, which is very stressful for them.
If it were in the past, it would be fine. The priests were very powerful and could work together to set up some barriers, summon heroic spirits, etc., which could share the pressure to a great extent.
But now after being abandoned by Corellon, their overall strength has dropped significantly.
And the power of evil is growing stronger every day. For example, about a week ago, the most powerful witch in this plane, Baba Yaga, gained a powerful ghost dragon as an ally.
As soon as it appeared, Baba Yaga joined forces with it to massacre a village of Eladrin as a celebration of their alliance.
In other words, Grandma Yaga's lair was far away from Qiu Shuang Village, so she did not choose them. Otherwise, Levi would not be able to see them, and the ghost dragon alone could easily kill them all.
According to Selina, not only is Grandma Yaga powerful herself, she also has dozens of different kinds of ghost women as her allies and subordinates. Together, they drive a large number of evil races such as trolls and beastmen to serve as her servants.
Although Granny Yaga is very powerful, her level is only around level 12. If the opponent is alone, it is actually possible to defeat the opponent successfully by gathering the strength of all the Yalings.
But the ghost dragon is an undead, incorporeal creature that can fly. Not to mention that it is difficult for them to cause harm to it, once it sees the situation is bad and wants to escape, they have no means of intercepting it at all!
But despite this, if Levi had not come, they might have been forced to move elsewhere or even have their village destroyed in a few months.
Then Selena told Levi with absolute certainty that they had never let Corellon down, so until now they didn't know what they had done wrong and why they suffered such a fate.
Although there were still many doubts in their hearts, this at least made Levi, Khalida and others feel a little relieved.
As long as they don't offend Corellon, they will have relatively fewer concerns about saving these elves.
So their goal now is to kill the most powerful evil here - Grandma Yaga, so that the Yalings don't have to live in fear every day.
After losing her command, the monsters in the wild were still very ferocious, but at least the elegant spirits were able to resist.
The second thing is to find the ghost dragon Black, ask him about the mystery of Maltis's life experience, and then kill it.
After that, Levi can try to gather the leaders of other Yaling villages together and bring them all under his command.
According to Selina, Qiu Shuang Village suffered relatively less damage because it was the farthest away from where Grandma Yaga was entrenched, and it was the most powerful among the Yaling villages.
But since they are all in such a miserable state, one can imagine the current situation of other villages, so Levi is not worried that they will refuse to surrender.
Since Corellon had demonstrated his power here before, his identity as an elf was still of great use here.
If there really are some stubborn guys, it doesn’t really matter. He can just ignore them and focus on developing Qiu Shuang Village.
With a large amount of resources being poured in later, Qiu Shuang Village will surely usher in rapid development. Even if the other party's leader is not tempted, those villagers will definitely be jealous.
In other words, he is a celestial mystic who represents goodness and law, and his actions must be consistent with his own camp.
Otherwise, if he had a bad heart, he would be fully capable of leading some wild monsters to attack the village, and then he would act as a savior at the critical moment and would be able to successfully turn the opponent into his subordinate.
But he wouldn't do that, because after all, what he wanted was this plane, not the elegant spirits here.
Moreover, in a world where gods and magic exist, once such a thing is done, it cannot be kept secret forever. There is no need for him to bring a stain on himself because of such a trivial matter.
Finally, we need to find out what happened to this world and why Corellon gave up on it.
While communicating with the other party, Levi kept planning in his mind. Since he gained divinity, he felt that his ability to multitask has become stronger.
Perhaps it is precisely because the gods can provide this ability that they can respond to the prayers of tens of millions of believers at the same time and give different targeted responses.
After almost listening to it, Khalida, Michaela and others looked at each other. If the enemy was only at this level, their chances of defeating the opponent would be infinitely close to 100%.
Without saying anything else, throw two Yangyan Explosions when you meet it. Except for the giants with thick skin and flesh, the Ghost Dragon may be killed instantly.
At this moment, a piece of news came that surprised Levi very much. The Gaidingtian people might not be able to send garrisons to all the villages under his command as agreed before.
At least in Qiu Shuang Village, it doesn't work in this plane.
Because even though Levi had just asked the bear-headed gods to determine the coordinates of this place and send them back to the Gaiding Celestial Clan, they were unable to establish a stable channel to this place.
A temporary summons is possible, but long-term garrison is almost impossible.
Although the village's defense would indeed be weakened without their help, Levi was somewhat surprised.
If the Gaiding Clan has such restrictions, then would it also be difficult for other evil beings from other worlds to come here?
Regardless of whether this was Corellon's original doing, it now helps him build this place into a secret base!
Just as he was thinking about it, a shrill buzzing sound suddenly sounded, and then everyone could feel that the ground began to tremble slightly, followed by a slight feeling of weightlessness.
The elegant spirits, who had hoped to expel the monsters and even restore their former glory because of the Death Guard, were now in a panic.
Selina and others were also furious, but she and her adjutants immediately began to appease the villagers.
It can be seen that she has definitely experienced similar things before, and more than once.
Levi instantly performed a series of flying spells to ensure that important members of his team would not be affected.
"Selena, what's going on? What happened?"
"Sir, we are not sure, but the former elders of the village speculated that it might be the entire plane that is falling downwards."
Selina said with a bit of bitterness: "It has happened several times before. They said that it is because the power of darkness has enveloped this plane, so our world will continue to fall downward."
"Perhaps when all of us Yaling die, this place will completely lose all light and hope, and become the territory of Grandma Yaga, as well as a paradise for other evil monsters and beast spirits."
"Slowly, one day, it will become part of the bottomless abyss."
The attributes of the plane itself will affect the existence within it, but if there are individuals that are too powerful, or if there are a large number of them and their strength is not weak, coupled with some special magic arrays or rituals, it is also possible that the plane will be affected in turn.
It's Granny Yaga again...
Levi repeated the name secretly in his mind, and at the same time he understood why many of the buildings in the village looked a little strange.
They are also designed to withstand major earthquakes to avoid killing the residents inside.
At this time, there was movement in the communication magic house, which was information from another village dozens of miles away.
It was a call for help, but also a warning.
Because their village was attacked, and the leader was the ghost dragon - Black.
The other party wanted to tell Selina that if she could still mobilize sufficient troops, then she should rescue them. If she did not have the troops that could compete with the ghost dragon, then she should quickly prepare to escape!
Although in this small plane, the Yalings have no concept of a country at all, they all exist in the form of villages.
However, they are somewhat similar to the high elves in the outside world. Even if they belong to different forces, the elegant elves have great goodwill towards their own kind.
It's not just because of their nature, but also because only through collective cooperation can the race be able to continue.
Hearing this, Levi knew that he could not wait any longer, he had to take action and kill those two powerful evils!
He rose directly into the air and waved his hands to summon more celestial creatures. Cindy also stood behind him very obediently with the angels.
Even though he didn't speak, with so many celestial creatures guarding him, an invisible aura of majesty naturally emanated from him.
The elegant spirits, who were originally
Seeing this, Levi nodded secretly and regained his composure in such a short time. It turned out that a race where everyone is a soldier is extraordinary.
But on the surface, he remained calm, and said firmly: "I know that due to past experiences, many of you feel pain, disappointment, and even despair."
"But from now on, I will lead you and become the new light and hope!"
"Selina, you lead the way. The other eladrins will all stay in the village. The first step of our plan begins with killing the ghost dragon Black!"
After a brief silence, an elegant spirit started cheering first, and then the other elegant spirits woke up from their dreams and followed suit to cheer.
The reason why they were looking forward to Corellon's arrival was that they were originally his believers.
Secondly, they are powerless to change this desperate fate, and they urgently need a great existence that can save them.
Although Lord Levi is not a god now, it seems that there is not much difference to them!
Levi took a glance and found that the guy leading the group was one of Selina's adjutants.
She was able to lead these weak elegant spirits to survive surrounded by powerful enemies. She is indeed quite capable.
Regardless of whether it was her instruction or not, Levi knew that it was definitely related to her attitude.
But he didn't say much, and just started heading towards the destination with Kalida and others under her guidance.
Some druids volunteered to go with Levi.
They knew that they were too weak to be a match for the Ghost Dragon, and they might not even be able to participate in a battle of that level at all.
But they can provide some ghost giant eagles as mounts for Donna and Elegy.
Levi did not refuse. Flying still has its drawbacks and it is possible to be dispelled by the opponent's magic. But as long as the Ghost Eagle is not killed, it will be a very good mount.
Just after flying a few hundred meters, he saw Michaela winking at him and giving him a thumbs up.
This was the first time she had seen Levi like this, but she had to admit that he was indeed quite impressive. Perhaps if she followed him, she might really surpass Princess Belinda.
Levi also smiled slightly. He and Michaela were already very familiar with each other, but after not seeing each other for some time, his strength had improved a lot.
As your strength increases, your confidence and ambition will also increase rapidly, and naturally, things will be very different from before.
Since they were all flying, they moved forward very quickly and soon saw a small village in the distance.
Although the sentry towers at the entrance of the village were all destroyed, the shouts and a little magic had not stopped, which meant that the elegant spirits were not all dead and could be saved.
As the distance got closer, Levi and the others understood why it was like this.
Because a unique ghost dragon, less than 10 meters long and glowing pink and purple, was hovering over the village.
All over its body, there are dozens of magical veins of the same color, like blood vessels.
The rest of the place is translucent, making it look very weird overall.
At this moment, it would occasionally lower its head and spit out a gray-black column of energy, then laugh loudly.
It was obvious that it was not that the resistance of the Yalings was really that strong, but that it was enjoying the pleasure of slaughter and did not want to end the game too early.
It was so focused that it didn't finally notice Levi and the others until they were within several miles of it.
After letting out a rather angry roar, many trolls, beastmen, beast ghosts and the like on the ground turned around and grinned at them.
There were more or less some pieces of flesh and blood on their claws, which obviously came from those elegant spirits.
After seeing this scene, not only Selina was very anxious, but Cindy and others couldn't bear to watch it anymore. They turned to look at Levi, intending to ask.
Of course he wouldn't stop them. After reminding them to be careful, he began to cast summoning magic again.
Cindy and Elegy led the angels and rushed towards each other first, while Maltis landed on the ground silently, took out a bone whistle, and summoned a skeleton horse.
This is also a little skill of the Death Knights, just like the Blood Dragon Knights of the Undead. Although they are one of the most powerful knights, they have not completely thrown away magic.
Although the bone horse summoned temporarily was definitely much inferior to her usual mount, for a knight, it still made a big difference whether he had a horse or not.
It would be fine if it was an ordinary enemy, but now, her enemy is a ghost dragon, so of course she has to go all out.
Thanks to the powerful bonus of the Swift Battle Flag, as long as she was careful not to kill the little bone horse, she was still confident that she could deal with the opponent.
Seeing this, Kalida also summoned a snake, ready to clean up the trolls and other monsters on the ground.
She was very self-aware. The ghost dragon had a great ability to reduce physical damage and was not afraid of conventional poisons. It was not easy for her to get rid of it.
In comparison, Donna, Sefa and others looked a little embarrassed. They were just riding on the magic carpet, following Levi like little followers.
It’s not that Levi was reluctant to give them the Death Guards, he was even willing to give them the Sphinx, but that would make them too big a target.
Michaela remained silent, just thinking about how to deal with the ghost dragon.
In this chaotic situation, Yangyan Blast definitely cannot be used. Otherwise, with one move, regardless of whether the Ghost Dragon dies or not, there will definitely be only a few elegant spirits left in the village.
But no matter whether the opponent is a hero unit or a tier 7 soldier, its attributes determine that it is almost impossible for it to resist her fire magic.
But she had never heard of a ghost dragon that looked like this, and it seemed a bit problematic no matter how she looked at it.
Could it be some treasure on it, or was it something given to it by Grandma Yaga?
Similarly, Levi also felt something was not right. After quickly recalling the evil he had encountered in the past, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Kalida, do you think this ghost dragon has something in common with the guys that appeared in the Bone Temple last time?"
Khalida's face changed slightly when she heard this: "You mean, the Tzeentch demon?"
