Chapter 261 Master’s Dilemma and New Plan

After killing all the snake men, the journey became much more monotonous. No unexpected enemies appeared again. Li Wei and the others rushed back to the Beast Control Castle smoothly.

After not seeing each other for a few days, a lot of changes have taken place here. Generally speaking, the various defense facilities have been further strengthened, and the number of God-chosen heroes coming and going has also become larger.

Even sharp-eyed Levi noticed that there were several guys who ran away on the eve of victory in the previous Battle of Black Castle, but now they appeared at the forefront of the battle against the greenskins.

Although Li Wei somewhat despises them, their arrival has indeed strengthened his own strength, and may be more reliable than ordinary God-chosen heroes.

Because of the lessons learned from the last time, next time they face a strong enemy or a tough battle, if these guys make the same mistake again, it will be too embarrassing. They will be directly nailed to the pillar of shame, and their accounts can be deleted directly.

.

When they saw Levi's troops, they were somewhat surprised and surprised. They were not surprised at the overall size, but more surprised at the proportion of night elves in his troops.

As a race that has recently been exposed to everyone, the reputation of the night elves is not generally difficult to gain, because they have almost no demands and no tasks to accept.

But now they see so many night elves appearing in the teams of other God-chosen heroes. Doesn't this mean that they have been left behind by several streets?

But when they saw Li Wei, they all felt relieved. If it was him, it would be understandable. He had been particularly active in many recent battles.

Levi also noticed that their troops have become stronger than before. Now, basically all the first batch of God-chosen heroes who entered have their own heroes under their command.

Among them, those who are stronger or have better luck may have more than one hero, but their race and strength cannot be completely guaranteed.

Levi has more than once seen heroes from other races such as humans, dwarves, halflings, and even ogres appearing very suddenly among a large number of elven troops.

But then I thought about it, except for the blank slate hero he threw in the Blood Glory - Rowan, he didn't seem to have any heroes from the elves under his command. It was indeed not easy to recruit the most suitable subordinates.

After officially entering the Beast Control Castle, Li Wei found that the changes here were even greater. The most obvious thing was that there were many more types of elven troops. Looking at the coats and logos on their bodies, they probably came from a dozen different temples.

or reinforcements from the kingdom.

Black Castle and Ashridge Town should have also sent reinforcements. The Sword Master of Hoth, the Phoenix Guard, the Sisters of Avalon and other mid-to-high-level troops could occasionally be seen, but the ones that attracted his attention the most were some wing elves.

Compared with ordinary high elves, their bodies are generally more slender, with a pair of huge wings on their backs, usually white, and occasionally black or brown.

If you ignore their pointed ears, many winged elves look like angels at first glance.

However, the colors at the ends of their wings were messy, more complicated than the colors of the rainbow. Based on the previous experience of drow hair dyeing, Levi felt that these colors were probably dyed by them themselves.

However, looking at their thin armor and the common use of short swords and long bows as weapons, Li Wei believed that their combat effectiveness was still inferior to that of angels at the same level. For no other reason than that they might not be able to withstand beatings.

But Li Wei doesn't think the problem is big. He has his own military governor there to support them. Even if it is only reduced by half, it can slightly improve their survivability. If there is a chance, he can recruit some and give it a try.

While thinking about these things, he moved forward. Just when Levi was about to go directly to the meeting hall to find Michaela and Reiner, he happened to meet Master and his party from the Offa Temple.

As soon as he saw their sad faces and distracted looks, without even noticing his arrival, Levi couldn't help but be a little curious.

Just walking along the way, almost all the God-chosen heroes had smiles on their faces. Judging from their equipment and the number of troops, they should all have gained a lot from the battle against the greenskins.

But why do Master and the others have this expression? Could it be that they lost some battle?

So he took the initiative to say hello to the other party. Then Master and others woke up from a dream, and they all smiled: "Ah, Levi, you are back? Is everything going well?"

Although he didn't know Levi's true purpose of going to the Underdark, he did know roughly where Levi was going.

Li Wei smiled: "Although the original goal was not achieved, there was still some gain."

At first, he wanted to invite Alduin to fight against the orc war general Mogrol Ogre, and to try to obtain the gem ring in the opponent's hand. Now, although Alduin has not come, in other respects,

But he really gained a lot.

Master managed to adjust his mood: "Ah, congratulations."

Levi raised his eyebrows and looked at him and the many mages behind him who were like eggplants beaten by frost: "What's wrong? What kind of problem have you encountered?"

Master opened his mouth, seemingly hesitant to speak, but in the end he decided to tell the truth frankly.

"There is something wrong with our golem."

Levi was a little confused, so what could go wrong with the golems? They were essentially just war tools. As long as there were enough magic crystals to provide action energy, they didn't even need to consider morale issues.

Moreover, Master and the others have become self-taught. Not only can they repair damaged golems by themselves, they are now able to produce 2nd-level clay golems and 3rd-level sandstone golems on a small scale. They are currently working on updating them.

Work hard on stronger metal golems and granite golems.

Nowadays, what troubles many God-chosen heroes is no longer a simple problem of money, but a problem of insufficient soldiers. Many people often cannot recruit enough troops even if they have money.

But as long as there are enough materials, the Arcane Temple doesn't even have to worry about the source of troops. Why do they still have this expression?

Master gritted his teeth: "Levi, you don't know something, because high-level golems are not only about the materials needed to make them, but more importantly, consciousness, wisdom, and soul!"

It is precisely because of the serious lack of wisdom that the golems often have very good panel data, but in actual combat they are not very satisfactory.

Even if the chosen heroes are constantly issuing orders, they often appear very clumsy in battle.

In the final analysis, they are just puppets with almost no self-awareness.

As their strength increased, Master and the others gradually found a way to improve this aspect, which was to use the souls of other intelligent creatures.

But playing with souls has always been a taboo for all lawful and good races, and even the gods.

Just killing the body, or manipulating the soul out of desperation, is the real heinous crime, which is equivalent to directly depriving mortal beings of the possibility of returning to the temple of the gods.

This is why the undead, demons, devils, etc. are so hated.

Once Master and the others try to start from this direction, their camp will fall hopelessly into evil and be beaten by everyone.

It is said that there once was a powerful force composed of many mages, which specialized in making golems. However, because they attacked the souls and violated the domain of the gods, they were directly encircled and suppressed by the alliance, and they were destroyed almost in the blink of an eye.

Many forces joined forces to destroy it.

It is precisely because of their destruction that many techniques for making golems, gargoyles, etc. have been widely spread in the main world.

But if they don't use souls, their golems will stop at level 3, and even granite golems will be almost impossible to successfully create. This is tantamount to completely denying their development direction, and how can they not be troubled by it?

Woolen cloth?

With their background, they can still support it now, but it will become harder and harder to leave as the future goes on.

You must know that in order to drive the golem army, many of them made preferential choices with their expertise, magic, equipment, etc., just to maximize the power of the golem army.

If you want to change now, it is not completely impossible, but the cost will be really huge, and when they make changes, they will definitely be surpassed by others.

With all this going on, it’s no wonder they have such sad faces.

After listening to Master's series of complaints, Levi couldn't help but grin. He really didn't understand this. If he was in a different place, he would probably have a headache.

Fortunately, now, he is no longer particularly dependent on those external objects. Even without summoned creatures or large troops, with his own magic, as well as Donna, Cindy, Elegy and others, they can still perform quite well.

Good fighting ability.

After thinking for a while, Li Wei came up with a new idea: "Have you never thought about going to the Kingdom of Cathay? The terracotta warriors there are much more powerful than ordinary granite golems, or consider the ancient

Tomb King?"

If the constructs are the most famous, one is the Cathay Celestial Dynasty, and the other is the Tomb Kings.

It is said that there are huge warrior warrior guards at regular intervals in the Great Wall of the Cathay Empire. They are usually city walls, but when necessary, they are the most powerful weapons of war.

Its capital, Wei Jing, also has eighteen bronze figures, which are said to have been personally made by the Dragon Gods of Cathay. They are much more powerful than the granite golems in terms of strength and style, and are nicknamed "Chinese" by many God-chosen heroes.

Gundam".

Next is the Tomb Kings. They have even more types of constructs. They are not only limited to humanoids, but also include scorpions, scarabs, big cats, etc.

Compared with ordinary golems, their intelligence is much higher, because it is said that they allow the souls of warriors to descend into the structures and control them like a mecha.

Master sighed: "We have thought about it, but how could they easily teach such precious knowledge to us alien races?"

"Besides, the journey is too far. Even if we get to Cathay, which is relatively close, we still need to go through the entire Ogre Kingdom before we can reach it."

Li Wei smiled: "If you find it difficult, why not just take refuge in me? With my strength, I will definitely not treat you badly."

There are also some good quality members in War Heaven, but he has never managed the guild very much. Except for Qian Pi and him who have a good relationship, those people are basically closer to the Sun Knight or the Light Forger, and he is too lazy to start training his younger brothers all over again.

, then it is better to compile a ready-made one.

God's Chosen Heroes and Aboriginal People each have their own pros and cons, and it would be best if they could work on both sides.

And with this period of contact, he felt that Master's personality was very similar to his own, and the mages he recruited were more similar to him. Overall, they were very compatible.

"Forget it, I'm already in such a miserable state, so stop joking."

Master subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at Levi's expression, he suddenly realized: "Wait, are you serious?"

Levi was noncommittal: "At least, I give you one more choice."

By now, he has almost understood Master's character and abilities. Of course he has many advantages, but in Levi's view, as a president, he is not particularly qualified.

The vice-presidents under him are in a similar situation. They focus more on studying magic and making golems. They don't seem to have any long-term plans for the future development direction of the guild.

If you really want to use the Golem for a long time, you must at least obtain a stable source of materials, such as mines and elemental channels, right?

All we know is to let the golems take the lead, with the elves' troops as the auxiliary, and their magic as the output. This is just a battle plan at best, but not a real long-term plan!

Master thought for a while, and finally shook his head firmly: "Sorry, Levi, this guild is not just my temporary interest, but also the joint efforts of all of us."

As the guild continues to develop, he does feel tired and incompetent. He also knows that with Li Wei's character, once he chooses to agree, he will never treat him badly.

There is even a high chance that he will still put everyone under his own command. He is only responsible for guiding the key directions and calling everyone to fight collectively when necessary.

But it's been less than half a month since the guild was formed, and if he was allowed to give up so easily, he would be so embarrassed!
