Chapter 295 The Movement of the Rat Man(2/2)
And they are often very vindictive. Even if you defeat them once, as long as you don't eradicate the root cause, they will definitely hold a grudge and try every means to find opportunities to get revenge, beating the young and the old.
Levi also felt a little embarrassed. The old black dragon, the drow, and Dracula were the three powerful enemies he had known before.
But now we have to add Herman Goost, the Silver Blood Army whose identity and attitude are still unknown, and the followers of Velsalun who are newly encountered today. Isn't this too confusing?
This is no worse than the previous chaos caused by the demon lord Orcus in the surface world, and the powerful people involved!
Chatting while moving forward, they soon arrived at Blood Glory. The Sun Knight also reached an agreement with Caijin. For Levi's sake, he would give the other party a village as a temporary place to stay.
Of course, this does not mean that he is really generous to this extent.
The main reason is that the value of many small villages in the Underdark is often lower than that of the surface world, and some do not even use the heart of the village. Wild monsters or resurrected skeletons may appear inside the village.
But despite this, Caijin is still satisfied. Only with a village can she have a stable foothold, and in this way, the architectural drawings and other things she prepared can really work, and she can replenish the army as soon as possible.
At the same time, Levi also learned that the reason why Naer did not join the battle was not that she was lazy, but that the team from the Harpers seemed to have discovered some secret yesterday, so they cooperated with the drow from the Moonsinger.
Let's go explore together.
As a member of the Harpers, Na'er had nothing to do at the time, so she went to help, and she hasn't come back yet.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but frown, and was a little worried. The Underdark was so chaotic now, and in front of a large army, the members of the Harper Alliance, even if they were all elites, were not worth mentioning at all.
But because Naer and he were just friends and comrades who had fought side by side, rather than superiors and subordinates, he couldn't see the other party's attribute panel. This meant that even if something happened to her, he couldn't see it.
You can worry in vain.
However, after glancing at Alduin who seemed to have no feeling next to him, he still adjusted his demeanor so as not to put pressure on each other. Maybe everything goes well for Narr and she will return tomorrow?
After arriving at the village, far away, Levi found a dozen helicopters suspended in mid-air. At the same time, some dwarves holding warhammers and shields were also standing on the city wall, watching very vigilantly ahead. It was the dwarf Stump leading the way.
The troops coordinate to defend.
After receiving Levi's order, Rowan and his team led an attack. He happened to be hanging out, so he temporarily helped look after the house. Because except for helicopters, other dwarves moved relatively slowly, so he had better not join in the fun.
.
And this is not the first time he has done something like this. For Levi, he is definitely a very trustworthy friend.
After seeing Li Wei and his troops, Shudun also came out to greet them with a big smile. Li Wei naturally expressed his gratitude immediately, as they are familiar with each other, but this is the most basic politeness issue.
After a few casual chats, Levi also discovered that not only the number of helicopters had increased significantly, but the strength of other troops in Stunt had also improved to a certain extent, especially the number of bearded warriors holding heavy weapons.
Generally speaking, the longer a dwarf's beard means the longer they live, the more combat experience they have, and the stronger they are generally.
In this world full of fights and killings all the time, there are too few people who can live a long life, so most of them become stronger the longer they live.
Ordinary long-bearded warriors are at least level 4 troops, and the elites among them may reach level 5, and have a higher chance of having titles such as squad leader. They can command a part of the troops and have very low bonuses.
For the chosen heroes whose leadership has always been tight, they are definitely a very precious unit.
Now Li Wei looked around and saw that there were at least half a team of long-bearded warriors in Shudun's team, and one of them was more suspicious of a heroic unit. Obviously, he hadn't seen him in the past few days, and Shudun's strength had also improved a lot.
"It seems like you've had a good harvest recently."
Stump couldn't help but smile naively and said: "Thanks to the recent presence of Qian Thief and Sun Knight, the strength of the nearby good camp has been greatly strengthened."
"In addition, we just beat up the Ratmen and almost completely eliminated this threat, so our Helhein clan has a lot more troops."
"Beat the Rat Man?"
Levi suddenly became interested, but he still remembered that Reiner had wanted him to help investigate the information about the Skaven, and it would be best if he could join forces with the dwarves to eliminate this threat together.
Most of the ratmen hide in places like city ruins, sewers, and the Underdark. They have no conflict with the elves. However, there is a clan of ratmen named Eshin near the Red Cloud Tribe, which occupies a ruin called Skinned Rock.
They originally fought with the dwarves and occasionally attacked the greenskins, but now that the elves have occupied the territory of the Red Cloud Tribe, they have naturally become enemies they need to be wary of.
It's just that he had been busy fighting with the greenskins before, and the whereabouts of the rat people were too hidden. During the time he stayed in the Underdark, he basically didn't meet any rat people of a large scale, so he
It was put on hold for now.
Unexpectedly, Tree Stump now said that the dwarf aborigines seemed to have defeated each other?
Naturally, Shudun had nothing to hide, and he quickly told Li Wei the information he knew in detail.
Since three days ago, dwarf rangers have noticed that the rat people seem to be preparing to start a large-scale evacuation operation. They not only withdraw their troops from the vicinity, but also seem to want to leave this area completely.
So they seized the opportunity and launched a successful raid against the rat people, killing tens of thousands of them at once.
This immediately made the rat people run faster.
At the same time, a friend of his in Cathay said that rat-men have become increasingly rampant in a certain place recently, and are fighting a war with the Cathay Celestial Empire. They happen to belong to the same clan as these rat-men, and that is the Eshin clan, which is famous for its assassins.
.
Among them is the legendary rat hero, the assassin-Master of Death-Snitch who can use the three-sword style.
So he had every reason to suspect that these rat men might have traveled thousands of miles to support the other party.
Levi also sighed a little. If that was the case, the distance was really not short. From here to the Kingdom of Cathay, it was more than a thousand miles?
Although these ratmen most likely do not need to travel to the surface world, so they do not need to pay the ogres for their journey, there are more evil forces blocking the way in the Underdark.
Unless they really have some secret passage, Levi doubts that 3 to 5 out of 100 rat men will survive there successfully. Life is not easy for these big rats.
However, the reproductive capacity of ratmen is off the charts. If the survival of elite troops can be guaranteed, the 95% casualty rate of cannon fodder troops should not be a big problem for them. Anyway, as long as there is enough food, they can give birth to more immediately.
.
This is not a guess by Li Wei, he saw it on the forum.
It is said that the rat people are not monogamous, but an entire clan shares one or several reproductive female rats, and only a very small number of elite rats are qualified to mate.
As for reproductive females, as the name suggests, their whole day job is to give birth to mice. Their size is often several times larger than that of ordinary rats. They have a tendency to evolve towards ant queens, and they are all specialized reproductive tools.
It's a bit far-fetched, but in short, because they have already reconnoitred clearly, the ratmen have almost completely given up on the peeling rock, and the threat to the dwarves has disappeared in a short period of time, so the aborigines have also let go of their attack on the tree stumps.
Recruitment restrictions.
Of course, it doesn't mean that they will be at peace from now on. After they have beaten away the ratmen, they will now have to deal with the drow and their blood relatives and blood enemies, the gray dwarves.
After chatting for a few more words, Levi also revealed his true purpose. He also wanted to recruit some helicopters.
When he saw the helicopter for the first time, he had similar thoughts and impulses, and now this impulse is even stronger.
Because in addition to helicopters that spray hot steam, Stump's troops now have several new tricks.
One is a bomber that throws bombs, the other is using a ballista and hand crossbow, and the last one simply mounts a machine gun.
Forget about bombers, but if the latter two can be recruited and used to protect the Sky Slayer airship, it would be too worry-free.
Shudun immediately patted his chest and assured that judging from the current relationship between the two parties, the problem is definitely not big.
Not only has the rune blacksmith Hans always had a very good attitude towards Li Wei, but also because in the days since Li Wei left, the dwarves, Nar, Rowan, etc. have never stopped cooperating with each other.
They teamed up to beat up the evil aliens nearby several times.
But if Li Wei wanted to recruit helicopters on a large scale, that could not be guaranteed by Stump. He suggested that Li Wei had better go to Huipo Mountain in person.
Li Wei thought about it and felt that it did make sense. No matter what, he might be able to recruit other troops there. Even if it was inconvenient for him to bring them with him, they could be used to strengthen the defense of Blood Glory.
Then he began to discuss with Stump whether there were any suitable targets nearby. He wanted to invite Hans to join him in the encirclement and suppression campaign to further enhance the friendship between the two parties.
But before Tree Stump could think of it, a ray of light fell from the sky and went straight to the meeting hall, and then a slightly crying female voice also rang out: "Lily, wake up, Lily, are you talking?"
Levi immediately felt something bad, and Alduin next to him jumped up because the female voice came from his good friend who had not seen him for several days - Nar!
