After confirming Levi's name and identity, Michaela became obviously more enthusiastic. She quickly and proactively stated that she would take the things back as soon as possible and hand them over to the acting lord for personal inspection. Once there were any results,

He will be notified as soon as possible.

Li Wei knew that he was incompetent, so he followed the other party to Ash Ridge Town.

After chatting for a while on the way, he learned that the high elves had established magic outposts in many places outside the town. Once there was a large fluctuation in fire magic, they would immediately go out to investigate.

This is mainly because demons are mostly good at fire magic. Ashridge Town has suffered several similar attacks before. Later, the later lords decided to activate magic sentries to snipe the enemies outside the town as much as possible.

But soon Michaela also expressed with great pride that these sentries had not been triggered for several days, because as time went by, reinforcements from various kingdoms had arrived one after another, and the wood elves also extended their arms.

They needed help, so the offensive and defensive trends of both sides had been reversed. More often, they were attacking and the demons were defending.

Then soon she expressed some annoyance. Unfortunately, because the demons desecrated the dragon's cemetery and summoned many bone dragons and ghost dragons, coupled with the almost endless army of demons, many large-scale attacks by her side failed.

Returned without success.

Therefore, after several failed attempts, the high elves had to temporarily change their battle strategy, which was to fight daily and try to attack the Black Castle while destroying as many demons as possible to prevent them from attacking other surrounding ones.

village.

However, because the demon army can not only pass through the teleportation array, but also fly out directly through the abyss rift, its marching direction is difficult to predict, so the current battle situation can only be said to be beneficial to our side, but it has not achieved a decisive advantage.

After introducing some basic information, they almost arrived at Ember Ridge Town. Mikaela said hello to Levi and led the troops away.

After scanning around, he found that the town was unexpectedly large in size. It was impossible to see the end at a glance. It was a large settlement that could accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people.

The defense force here is also extremely strong. The pure white city wall is two stories high and seems to be made of marble, with a faint magical light shining on it.

Moreover, the city wall is also very wide, and Li Wei can see at least hundreds of spearmen, archers, Lothern Ocean Guards and Silver Light Guards patrolling and vigilant on it.

A dozen giant eagles, griffins and other flying beasts were lazily basking in the sun. There were more than fifty ballistae next to them, and several high elves who looked like commanders were organizing personnel to debug them.

Then there is a series of densely packed arrow towers, all of which are four to five meters in diameter and dozens of meters high. They are not so much arrow towers, but in fact they are more like independent small buildings. They are not at all like the arrow towers in Bitao Village.

It's not on the same level.

It also contains a large number of shooting holes. From a rough look, it should not be a problem to hide three to five hundred people in these arrow towers.

Just what he saw shocked Li Wei. This was just daily defense. If a real battle broke out, he wouldn't be too surprised if the number of defenders increased 10 times.

The scene became even more obvious after entering the city. Along the road, which was more than ten meters wide, there were all kinds of shops and special buildings.

Looking around, he can easily find libraries, weapons training centers, taverns, military camps, magic towers, etc. based on the signs. There are also at least a dozen temples from different elves and gods. This place is obviously better than the ones he has been to before.

Those small villages are so prosperous.

Although it was a time of war, the atmosphere here was not particularly tense, and most of the indigenous people's faces were filled with smiles.

And although he couldn't see it with the naked eye, he could feel energy fluctuations emanating from somewhere in the city. He was constantly scanning for something, probably to confirm his camp and race.

After dozens of seconds, it seemed that the thorough exploration was completed, and then it slowly stopped.

It's already so powerful, but this place is still just a town? This defense is much stronger than that of small cities of other races!

After walking a few steps, he saw at first glance a huge signboard, which listed more than a dozen taboos in Ash Ridge Town.

This includes the prohibition of casting spells at will, the prohibition of fighting in places other than the arena, the prohibition of breaking into other people's homes without invitation or permission, and the strict prohibition of rummaging through other people's houses.

The more he looked at the back, the more outrageous Levi felt, because he felt that normal ordinary people would be unlikely to violate these rules. They were mostly for the God-chosen heroes, especially the thieves among them, right?

This really left him speechless.

At this time, the previous guild member came over with a smile: "Vice President, I am Bai Zhan Song. You have met me in Bitao Village before."

Levi nodded slightly: "Yes, I remember you. Are the Lightcasters and others in the town?"

"No, no, they are now divided into two groups. One group is going to recruit a hero, and the other group has already headed to the border to fight those green-skinned heroes."

Levi suddenly became interested: "There are many heroes in this town?"

Although he already has Donna and Leonidas under his command, it will be a matter of time before Tiva returns to his command, but he still wants more. After all, as his strength increases, leadership has always been stretched thin, even if it is gray

He doesn't mind a quality hero.

White Zhange suddenly couldn't help but frown: "Originally, there were about a dozen heroes from different races. We thought at first that this would be our opportunity. After all, under the leadership of several bosses, our guild

The members have been developing well."

He was not completely flattering. Apart from anything else, just the fact that Li Wei asked them to greet the incoming troops in advance and recruited a large number of subordinates immediately had already distanced them from others.

Then his voice changed: "But we soon discovered that we had overlooked an issue, because our competitors are not only other God-chosen heroes, but also the native people in the town who will extend olive branches to them in order to strengthen their combat effectiveness."

"And they were very generous this time. They brought out a lot of gold coins and equipment, and even conferred military positions on the spot. Human heroes became sergeants directly, and half-elves became non-commissioned officers. This allows us to compete for the top spot.

ah?"

Levi suddenly became speechless, right? If even the aboriginal people took action, even if they wanted to repay the money, there would probably be many people rushing over. After all, the hard power of the colony lies here.

As for the one the Lightcaster is currently busy with, he was probably picked out by the high elves. He is probably either incompetent, or his race or appearance does not meet their standards.

As elves, they still care about appearance.

"Is there anything left in the tavern?"

Bai Zhange spread his hands: "Don't talk about heroes, there are not even soldiers anymore. Now I am following Master Mikaela all day long to do some patrolling and guarding tasks. There is also a brother who spends most of the time squatting in the tavern. That is

In order to recruit available troops as soon as possible."

Well, now Li Wei clearly understands the cruelty of battle.

It's no wonder that the Lightforged decided to send people to fight the green-skinned Chosen Heroes, because with such a shortage of soldiers, it was clear that they couldn't fight a war of attrition against the demons.

But fighting greenskins is different. Everyone is a hero chosen by God, and the troops are hard-earned. Even if they are thinking about killing the opponent, they usually won't just come up and beat you to death.

After asking for some relevant information, Levi and Bai Zhange separated. They also had tasks to do, and he went to the military camp and the tavern respectively to accept some tasks of killing a specific number of demons, collecting specific materials, etc.

Although this large-scale invasion of demons, the system did not issue large-scale regional missions like the previous crusade against the jackals in the rocky highlands, but he can still take on various missions independently, will also have military merit points, and can still use

Used to improve military status or exchange for certain items.

At the same time, he also found that the quartermaster in the military camp expressed regret that in order to ensure the town's defense strength, there were no remaining recruitment quotas until the next reinforcements arrived.

Not surprisingly, the tavern seemed a bit empty. Most of the aborigines who usually liked to stay here to drink, chat, and brag were probably recruited by other God-chosen heroes and went out to participate in various battles.

In addition to some ordinary town residents, there are two special, suspected heroes.

After seeing their appearance, Levi seemed to be able to understand why they were not recruited by the aborigines because one of them was a dwarf and the other was a cat person.

Forget about the former, the elves just don't like them or are a little bored of them.

But for the latter, allowing him to walk into the town alive was actually considered generous by the high elves.

Catmen are considered a smaller branch of the barbaric system. Most of their camps are chaotic, neutral and evil. They are hated by the high elves. However, since he can sit here safely, he is probably considered a leader among his own race.

It's a heresy.

Although he was a little curious, Levi just took a look, because these two guys were surrounded by at least four or five God-chosen heroes, and their attitudes were very earnest. There was also a member of the guild, who was probably exposed.

He was too lazy to compete with the younger brother sent by the Forger to stay behind.

After leaving the tavern, he first replenished arrows and various supplies, and then planned to visit other major temples one by one to see if there was any opportunity to recruit troops or buy some special items. At the same time, he also stopped by other taverns to find

Meet Lisa Dilan.

The other party seemed to have been taken back to his residence and could only live in a tavern. Unfortunately, there was more than one tavern in the town. The one he just went to was the largest one. Michaela didn't know which tavern he could find the other party in.

Then he planned to stop by the Temple of the Moonbow Goddess and the stronghold of the Red Brotherhood. There was no other purpose than to simply show his face and tell the other party that he was here.

Then he was very surprised to find that, probably because of his legend and military position, he received a warm reception every time he went to a temple.

But unfortunately, there was still nothing he could do about the troops and the like, because they all said that the effective forces of the temples had basically supported the regular army. He could only replenish some consumable scrolls and holy water and other gadgets from various temples.

Next, his luck was pretty good, and he successfully found Lisa Dilan in the third tavern.

It's just that when they actually saw each other, no one could distinguish between this guy who was unshaven, drunk, and even had some unknown filth on his body, and the guy who dared to take the initiative to charge at an army of demons that was several times his size.

Warriors come together.

Michaela said before that Lisa Dilan's situation was not very good, but Levi never expected that the other party would be so bad.

Even when Levi filed in with Donna, Julia and others, Lisa Dilan didn't notice them at all and just kept pouring wine into her mouth.

Levi couldn't help but look at the Avalon girl guards next to him: "What's going on? Why is he so drunk? You don't care?"

Could it be that he failed in the fight for the girl? But a few days ago, didn't he say that the girl happily accepted the flaming war goose from him as a gift?

Several Avalons sighed, with wry smiles on their faces. They had tried to stop them, but to no avail!

At this time, he probably heard Levi's voice, and Risa Dilan reluctantly opened his hazy drunken eyes: "Ah, it's Levi, I'm sorry for letting you see me like this."

Li Wei pulled up a chair and motioned to other subordinates to find a place to sit down.

"What happened? Were you dumped?"

Lisa Dilan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, but not entirely."

After communicating for a while, Levi finally understood that the girl Risa Dilan was interested in had many suitors, and Risa Dilan was just one of them.

And because he has recently participated in several battles and given the girl her favorite gift, and at the same time, his status in Ashridge Town and his own strength have improved greatly, his self-confidence has increased rapidly.

So he invited another of the strongest competitors to go to the wild for a duel between men to decide whether he had the right to continue pursuing the girl. The losing party needed to give up immediately.

This is actually a bit illegal, because internal fighting between high elves is strictly prohibited. Even if a duel is really necessary for honor or other needs, it must be witnessed by local nobles and priests. This is mainly because
