Chapter 280 About mounts

Soon under Mikaela's order, the large army began to officially march north.

Reiner led the cavalry troops to conduct reconnaissance first. A dozen Skyslayer airships hung high in the sky, carrying hundreds of archers, priests and mage units, five to six hundred winged elves, and forty or fifty giant eagles.

Accompanying him as a bodyguard.

Originally, there were more Sky Slayers, but some of them were urgently transferred back to Ash Ridge Town. It seemed that special circumstances had arisen in other places.

Three Tianshi knights and a team from the Gavin Knights made great contributions in the Battle of Pigherd Town, and are now serving as Michaela's escort.

On the ground were more than a thousand infantrymen of various types, and finally a very small number of war beasts such as the White Lion of Charis and the Spirit Wolves of Ulthuan.

Levi also took his subordinates with him, but after a comparison, he felt that his troops seemed to be more elite than Michaela's.

Her main infantry is generally only level 2-3, including shield spearmen, sea guards, rangers, plus a small number of silver guards and Caledor sentries, etc.

Only some of the Charis warriors holding axes and shields and wearing white lion furs, as well as the silver-helmeted giant swordsmen are level 4 troops and can be considered the elite among them.

In comparison, among Li Wei's own troops, the level 3 Jade Halberdiers were at the bottom, and there was not even a single level 2 Jade Halberdier.

There is still a huge gap between his personal strength and many powerful aborigines, but the gap between the average strength of the troops is rapidly shrinking. With his current military strength, it is already easy to conquer a few small villages.

thing.

As the team continues to advance, heroes chosen by Gods are coming from both sides to join them.

Their previous large-scale Northern Expedition resulted in the capture of many small greenskin villages and gathering places, which eventually became their territory. Usually, they would use their respective villages as strongholds and launch attacks northward from time to time.

Now that they have caught up with Michaela's actions, they naturally don't want to miss the opportunity. Some even call out all the village's defenders. Anyway, in this special situation, the greenskins probably don't have any extra troops.

Attacked their village.

Donna and others were originally a little bit dissatisfied with the special status of the celestial beings in the village, but now it seems that the celestial beings are still very powerful.

They sent equal forces to all the villages under Li Wei's command without discrimination. As Li Wei became more and more powerful in the future, their investment would also become larger and larger. Each village had a hundred or so soldiers who were almost free of charge.

Where can the garrison find such a good thing?

As the chosen heroes joined, they gradually noticed the iron-eating crocodiles serving as mounts in Levi's army. They couldn't help but get closer one by one, trying to get some relevant information.

Levi didn't hide much. Although only he and Michaela obtained the recruitment permission yesterday, the crocodiles have already begun to build various god-given buildings, and it will only be a matter of time before they are opened to others.

Similarly, he was also very interested in the various strange mounts and soldiers in their team.

Cows, horses, wild boars, etc. are all too common. Giant turtles, chocobos, etc. are not particularly unusual either.

The ones riding ogres were somewhat interesting, but what really caught his attention was a female elf priest riding a unicorn, and a guy sitting on a pure metal mechanical war scorpion.

As a rare species of natural type, unicorns have always been a symbol of purity. It is said that they only accept innocent girls as their masters, and ignore others. They are also a bit old-fashioned.

When they saw each other, everyone including Donna, Elegy and Cindy looked very interested. Of course they had heard of the legend. Who didn't want to prove that they were that innocent girl?

So Levi simply went over and asked. Unicorns basically don't live alone in the wild. That is simply seeking death. Since the other party can have a unicorn as a mount, there is a high chance that they will also have relevant information.

Facts have proved that Levi has a certain reputation in the nearby area, and after explaining his purpose, the other party did not talk nonsense.

"I do have information. If it were you, Li Wei, I would be willing to give it to you, but I spent a lot of effort to get it."

Speaking of this, the good-looking female elf paused deliberately. Although she didn't say anything, Li Wei certainly didn't understand what she meant. It was just asking for money. It was easy to say.

He quickly glanced at the opponent's team, and he was somewhat surprised.

In various games, there are relatively few women. Since this game requires commanding subordinates to attack, arrange strategies, etc., the threshold is relatively high, so the number of female God-chosen heroes is even smaller, and most of them are not very good.

.

I didn't expect that the girl in front of me was quite strong, and she should have a good relationship with the tree people and wood elves. There were several types of each other's troops in her team.

Although they are both elves, their appearance is almost identical, but the equipment of the high elves is both gorgeous and powerful, while the wood elves are dressed in green environmentally friendly clothing, and the difference is still very obvious.

She even has 3 heroes under her command. You must know that excluding the Sun Knight, the banker, Master and Light Forger, who are the president and vice president level, there are almost only this number of heroes under her command now.

It's just a unit.

Being able to do this, this girl should be considered very good in terms of strength and luck.

It's possible that she invested most of her resources in recruiting troops, so the equipment of these heroes was pitiful, and they didn't even have a green suit.

So he directly took out a few pieces of equipment that fit the opponent's profession: "Are these enough?"

The female elf waved her hands hurriedly: "That's enough, that's enough. It's not really useful, it's just a piece of information."

While talking, she shared the map information with Li Wei. Li Wei noticed that there was a special place on it with a single-horned mark, which should be there.

She didn't know if Li Wei's generosity moved her, so she took the initiative and began to introduce it in detail.

"There is a valley at this location, and there are about fifty or sixty unicorns living in it. They call it the Holy Land in the Forest. I suspect that there may be a god-given building."

"The strength of unicorns ranges from level 4 to level 6. In addition to gold coins, recruiting them requires a certain amount of small light element crystals, and then there is that factor."

Speaking of this, the female elf blushed somewhat. Although she didn't know how the other party judged it, the fact was that as a single, she succeeded in recruiting, but her two best friends with boyfriends all failed.

.

Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Although the other party didn't say it directly, how could he not know?

So after expressing his gratitude, he took the opportunity to add the other party as a friend. He had no other intention, just thinking that he would have more friends in the future. This kind of female God-selected hero with both good looks and strength is really rare.

.

After saying goodbye to the female elf priest named Star and Moon Light, Levi walked towards the guy with the metal war scorpion.

The opponent looked quite ruggedly dressed, and there were many beast-type soldiers in the team. There was a big black bear four to five meters long beside him, so he could easily guess the opponent's profession, which must be a druid.

After the previous experience, he directly handed over two pieces of green equipment this time: "Brother, I think your subordinates seem to be short of these two pieces?"

The druid grinned and reached out to knock on his mount: "Brother, are you here for this thing? That guy may be disappointed."

Even so, he still took over the two pieces of equipment quickly. Judging from his proficiency, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Li Wei didn't take it seriously either. This little gadget was not worth mentioning to him.

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Because I bought this from the Cathay caravan. They rarely stay in one place for a long time. It is said that the caravan is heading to Altdorf, the capital of the Sigma Empire. No one knows when they will come back.

.”

Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He seemed to understand why the other party took it so quickly. With this little information, it was not worth two pieces of green equipment!

There was no need to look at it. The other party also knew that Li Wei would definitely be dissatisfied, so he continued to speak quickly: "But if you are interested, Li Wei, I still have some mechanical war horses for sale. Look at these two pieces."

For the sake of equipment, I’ll give you a 10% discount.”

Only then did Levi become more interested: "Did you make it yourself?"

"Hey, I don't have that ability. I bought them from the Sinian Caravan last time. I just want to act as a second-rate dealer."

Saying this, the other party also handed over a piece of paper, with information about the mechanical war horse clearly written on it.

Quickly scanning the series of information, Levi found that this thing was indeed very attractive.

Compared with ordinary war horses, the mechanical war horse's defense power and maximum life limit have been greatly improved, and it is even better than ordinary Tier 4 troops. As a mount, it is definitely very qualified.

It also has some advantages in speed, has some basic magic resistance, can increase the power of charge, provides a collision skill, etc.

Because it is made of metal, once it charges, even if it does nothing and hits the enemy directly, it can still cause a certain amount of damage.

But it is not without its weaknesses. First of all, it is weak in resistance to lightning attacks. Then, like most mechanical creations, it cannot be repaired through ordinary healing techniques.

In addition to going to a specialized craftsman, you can only buy some repair oil, which is more expensive than ordinary life potions.

But it's not considered rare, because it's common to many arms of the mechanical department.

In contrast, it does not require ordinary supplies. Instead, it consumes a certain amount of magic crystals every day, so it is not a problem.

But overall, Li Wei thinks it is quite cost-effective, especially for cavalry units such as Simon, they will be a very good choice, and the price is completely within Li Wei's acceptance range.

So after thinking about it for a while, he directly said to the elf warrior named Iron Guard: "Then give me 20. You just agreed to give them a 10% discount, right?"

In addition to changing the mounts for Simon, Donna, Elegy, Cindy and Zhou Miyin can also be replaced. Well, all the heroes staying in various villages can also participate.

The rest can be given to Michaela and Reiner each. Although this thing may not mean anything to them, it also represents my own feelings to some extent.

"ah?"

Iron Guard was suddenly confused. The reason why he said 10% off just now was entirely because he had calculated it. In addition to the two pieces of green equipment, he couldn't lose money by selling two or three.

But now that Li Wei wants 20 at a time, he will make a lot less, and he doesn’t have that much!

Seeing the other party in a daze, Levi raised his eyebrows: "Brother, you won't regret it so soon, will you?"

The Iron Guard gritted his teeth, but in the end he did not regret it: "No, I only have 13 left in total, and I will give them all to you. If you still need them, you may need to wait a few more days."

Li Wei chuckled, of course he bought everything in front of him first, but you just said you didn't know how to make it, are you going to change your tune so soon?

Seemingly seeing Levi's doubts, the Iron Guard then said: "Brother, I really don't know how to make this thing myself, but I have a few friends hanging out with the Chaos Dwarves."

"If I can get in touch with them, I might be able to get a stable supply of goods, and there might even be more than just mechanical war horses."

For the natives, it is absolutely impossible for the high elves to make a deal with the chaos dwarves, but it does not matter to the chosen heroes.

Li Wei nodded. If he was a Chaos Dwarf, he could really look forward to it.
