Chapter 237 Harassment and Interception
Early in the morning, he did not rush to the wild to find trouble with the green skins. After assigning daily reconnaissance tasks and letting other subordinates move freely, Li Wei himself stayed in the house and was busy.
This is mainly because after so many days of continuous hard work, his specialty - enchantment - weapons, has finally reached a certain bottleneck. Once he successfully breaks through, there is likely to be a big change. He can't wait to see the improvement.
The final effect.
After a few hours, his hard work paid off, and he finally succeeded in upgrading this expertise to a high level, and its effects also changed dramatically.
At the early stage, enchantment will only change the quality of the weapon to green quality and increase the attack by 1. Its decorative effect is far greater than its actual effect.
After the intermediate level, the weapon will have an additional 1-3 points of attribute attack, which is considered useful.
After reaching an advanced level, the quality of the weapon will be upgraded to blue, and when attacking at the right time, there will be a lower chance of having a certain degree of special effects.
The fire element is scorching, the water element is soaked, the earth element is heavy, the wind element is entangled, the light element is purifying, and the dark element is erosion.
The first two can reduce the enemy's fire and water resistance respectively, the earth and wind systems can reduce the enemy's movement speed and attack speed respectively, the light system can purify the enemy's buff status, and the dark system can reduce the opponent's defense.
It can be said that each force has its own characteristics.
The specific probability of the special effect is not fixed, but is randomized within a small range based on the selected materials and Levi's state of enchantment. After trying many times, he can basically determine that the probability is between 5% and 15%.
To be honest, this probability is a bit low. In actual combat, the weapons he made may be difficult to compare with other blue-quality weapons captured by defeating the enemy, and the whole process consumes more materials, resulting in
The actual cost is very high.
But their biggest advantage is that they can be mass-produced and customized in large quantities.
Think about it, if all of Li Wei's troops were armed with water-enchanted weapons, how much advantage would they have when fighting against an army of demons where almost all of them had weaknesses in water and ice?
Of course, Li Wei just thought about it this way. Due to the high cost, it is completely unnecessary for low-level arms.
The price of a blue weapon is probably more expensive than recruiting an additional soldier. It is almost enough to spread it to high-level soldiers.
Using all the materials on hand, Levi first prepared several weapons for melee units such as Elegy, Zhou Miyin, Simon and Bayolu. After thinking about it, he also prepared two warhammers with different attributes for Cindy.
Although she could clear the Secondary Alien Oath to summon little angels to turn into her weapons, he suspected that they might all be turned into light-attributed weapons, and he couldn't verify it yet.
Because based on Cindy's current strength, she can sign contracts with up to six alien creatures at the same time. Now she has one holy helmet, battle armor, jingwu, shield crown, four kinds of little angels, plus two level 5 thugs - guardians.
Angel, she has used up all her quota.
Unless both parties agree to terminate the contract, the contract time ends, or these angels die in battle, she will not be able to use this magic again in a short period of time.
Since these angels were sent by God Sigma, Levi thought it was better not to act rashly and just wait until the end of time.
However, this business can continue. Whether it is the many temples in Ash Ridge Town or the Lotus of the Red Brotherhood, they should not be short of money.
After roughly deciding what to do next, Levi took a short rest. After sorting out the materials and many supplies in the space bag, he planned to inquire about the news about the green skins.
Yesterday, Master and the others suffered a counterattack from the green-skinned shaman, which meant that in addition to being wary of the beast-blooded army, they also had to be wary of the green-skinned aboriginal troops.
Then as soon as he went out, he saw Donna and Dirge leading several huntresses over in a hurry.
As soon as she saw Levi, Donna was immediately overjoyed: "Levi, you came just in time. The birds tame by the huntresses discovered the traces of a large group of greenskins, at least six or seven thousand in number!"
After frequent battles, more than one huntress has now advanced and gained the ability to tame birds as sentinels.
She, Elegy, Janet and others had nothing to do, so they helped catch birds. With the special abilities of rangers and druids, they completed this task very easily.
But I didn't expect that not long after the little bird was released, a large number of enemies were discovered, and even the poor little bird was killed by the enemy.
Levi suddenly became energetic: "Is the beast's blood boiling? There are more troops than expected. Could it be that the green skins of the Red Cloud Tribe are also participating in the war?"
The huntress quickly shook her head: "Those little birds have low intelligence and can't tell whether the opponent is an aborigine or an army of God's Chosen Heroes. In fact, even the number of the opponent's army was analyzed by us afterwards, not what they told us.
"
"Is that so? How far are they from here?"
"Currently there are less than 10 miles left, but the opponent's march is very slow. We should still have enough time to prepare."
Saying this, Elegy also waved her sword in a demonstrative manner. In fact, she quite likes to compete with those green-skinned opponents, because they rarely play imaginary and only engage in her favorite head-to-head battles!
Levi nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, but it's not time to rest yet. Let's go find Lisa Dilan and Julia immediately. We need to keep the enemy outside the village and delay the main force of the green skins for a while."
"Donna, Master and the others are still here, right? Inform them immediately to prepare for war!"
After experiencing yesterday's setback, Master and the others decided to wait for the time being and wait for the other party to take the initiative to attack, so they did not go out immediately today, but they coincided with Li Wei.
As he spoke, Levi began to use summoning magic quickly, asking the supervisory archons to continue their investigation, not only to see the green skins, but also to see their own rear.
Last night, Reiner specially sent back several teams of Silver Helmet knights as messengers to report to him on his latest progress.
After learning that the greenskins had no strength, all the high elves, including the acting lord Princess Belinda, were extremely excited. Just like Reiner, they could not wait to take revenge on the greenskins in order to wash away their past.
The humiliation suffered.
Although they now have to deal with the continuous flow of demons from other abyss cracks every day, so there is a serious shortage of troops, Princess Belinda has begun to try and send reinforcement invitations to many temples.
If the temple is willing to temporarily send troops to help defend the city, or launch an attack on the greenskins, then they will naturally be able to use more power.
And as of the time when Reiner sent the messenger, the temples of many gods including Moonbow, Lilith, God of Wisdom Hos, Lady of Mist, Lady of Golden Heart, Deep Sea Sesela, God of Forging Vaal, etc. had already agreed.
Yes, there are more temples under negotiation and communication.
If all goes well, reinforcements are expected to arrive at the forefront of the battle today.
Then Princess Belinda also issued a series of public tasks to all the chosen heroes in the colony.
In the battle with the greenskins, anyone who recaptures previously fallen villages or captures greenskin gathering places or villages will receive a large number of military merit points as rewards.
If a green-skinned village or even a town can be captured independently, as long as its military rank reaches Lieutenant and its camp is neutral or good, the colony will directly recognize its right to rule, and whoever captures it will belong to whom!
Under such strong stimulation, almost all the God-chosen heroes were going crazy with joy. Even if Ashridge Town did not have enough reinforcements, other God-chosen heroes must be on the way.
Levi is also very excited. The other God-chosen heroes may need to cooperate to capture the greenskin's territory and share the spoils together.
But he already has enough ability to deal with the small gathering of green skins. If he can find an opportunity in the next battle to add two more villages to his command, it is not completely impossible!
Then Reiner had also revealed to him that because of his outstanding performance, Princess Belinda was also very satisfied with him. A reward would be issued soon, and his military position would definitely be further improved.
This is because Reiner does not know for the time being what Levi and his cavalry did after he left, otherwise Princess Belinda would definitely give more rewards.
Unfortunately, there is no hope for the Lightcaster, because he sent intelligence last night. In addition to the troops led by Cai Jin, the aboriginal people there also sent thousands of troops to press through from the northwest.
They can temporarily protect themselves, but it is almost impossible to send reinforcements to their own side.
Donna responded quickly: "I know, Levi, be careful, don't die!"
Levi laughed and didn't take it seriously, because he knew that the other party was definitely not cursing him out of pure intention. This was just the Amazon's unique way of caring for people.
But a minute later, Li Wei had already rushed out of the village on a griffin and led hundreds of cavalrymen, heading straight to the north. Xiaotian and the legionary archons naturally accompanied him.
Compared to yesterday, the size of his team was a little larger this time, because many mages from the Arcane Temple joined with their respective cavalry units.
Although almost all members of the Arcane Temple use golems as their main force, it does not mean that they do not have any cavalry units at all. It is just that they do not have many cavalry units and their quality is average. They can only fight with the wind.
Fight.
In addition, some mages riding flying mounts chose to accompany them, hoping to use magic with Levi to harass the green-skinned army.
By now, Levi has almost figured out the details of Master. He should have mastered the method of making golems, so their entire guild and all members' troops are mainly based on golems, supplemented by others.
Therefore, after they obtain military merit points, they have more opportunities to choose to improve other aspects, such as various magics, equipment, and even various mounts, etc.
Those who are following Li Wei now are basically riding giant forest eagles or pegasus. Their combat effectiveness may not be very good, but they are still very comfortable for mages.
Most of the mages on their backs have some wind magic. Li Wei does not expect them to cause much damage to the enemy, but just to defend against the enemy's aerial troops.
As we all know, the turbulence in the sky in wind magic is the nemesis of low-level flying units, and it also has a considerable impact on mid- and high-level units.
The distance of several miles passed in an instant, and Levi soon saw the green-skinned army in the distance. Not to mention, the momentum was really extraordinary. Looking at it, it looked like a green ocean.
After taking a closer look, he knew that the huntress still underestimated the opponent's number. In this large area of greenskin, even if they maintained a dense formation, the army had spread out for several miles, and I was afraid it had exceeded 8,000!
Moreover, the opponent's army lineup is also very complete, including infantry, archers, cavalry, and chariots. There are even some extremely heavy and slow war equipment at the end, most likely trebuchets.
If they were allowed to enter the shooting range, the village's simple defense, regardless of whether it was an arrow tower, a wall, a horse barrier, etc., would they all be razed to the ground in an instant?
Li Wei was very glad that he did not lazily choose to defend passively, but took the initiative to delay the opponent. Otherwise, this battle would be really difficult to fight.
But despite this, he has quietly retreated. Should he evacuate the village directly and wait for Reiner to arrive with reinforcements while he retakes the village?
But when he looked at the opponent's nearly a thousand cavalry troops, he couldn't help but feel a toothache. If he didn't kill them all, his own infantry and archers would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
It seems that he still has to weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible first, and then wait for the reinforcements that will almost certainly appear.
With this thought in mind, he began to cast summoning magic quickly to further strengthen his own combat effectiveness.
Almost at the same time, the greenskins also clearly discovered them. With a commotion, the greenskins' cavalry also moved. In addition to hundreds of hobgoblin wolf cavalry, there were also some riding giant jungle spiders.
Goblin.
Some of them hold bows, some hold spears, and they also have more or less armor on their bodies. Compared with other ordinary goblins who only wear rags to cover their bodies, they already look a bit elite.
But what Li Wei paid most attention to were the chariots pulled by giant wolves and driven by goblins.
Although they are far inferior to the Silver Chariots of Israma, these Goblin Wolf Chariots are also rare units of level 3. Even in a head-on confrontation, the Elion Cavalry may not be able to defeat them.
Even with the magic level of the greenskins, these goblins should not have the life link magic circle, but there are six or seven goblins holding spears sitting or standing on a chariot, and the Erion cavalry will definitely be unable to defeat four hands with two fists.
At least it takes a knight in silver helmet to try to compete with the opponent.
To be continued...
