Chapter 430 Misty Mountain(1/3)
The next day, early in the morning, Levi was already ready to go.
He was busy with a lot of things last night. In order to repay his kindness and generosity, Kazric signed multiple treaties with him, including non-aggression and trade.
Although there is still a huge difference in power between him and Khalida, the dwarves treat them both almost equally.
Li Wei was very happy about this. As one of the races best at forging, the dwarves' sophisticated equipment and various gunpowder weapons were of great benefit to the development of the towns under his command.
But he didn't have much time to stay here. The specific transaction would have to be discussed later, and they had to rush to complete other tasks.
This time we were accompanied by a group of dwarves, including the ancestral heroic spirit - Drama Hammerfist, and a group of God-chosen heroes headed by Storm Warhammer.
As for the owners of this place, Kazric and Khalida, they will not go with them.
Although they temporarily repelled the greenskin tide and killed tens of thousands of greenskins and goblins, this was only an insignificant part of the entire Badland army.
Even the greenskins they killed were not the main force of the legendary greenskin - Bad Guts. His real elite had already gone to attack Iron Peak Castle to seek revenge from the Dragon Slayer.
Kazric was definitely going to be stationed here, but Khalida wasn't entirely sure at first.
Not only because she was very interested in the awakening ritual of the dwarves' ancestors, but also because she subconsciously felt that it might be more interesting to follow Li Wei.
They had only known each other for a few days, but many important things happened that could affect her and Laemia City. Whether it was a simple coincidence or other reasons, it was enough to prompt her to have a more in-depth relationship with Levi.
In the end, it was Li Wei who persuaded her. If she didn't stay here, if the evil spirit returned, there would probably be no one here who could rival her.
And if she were not here, the rigid-minded generals and priests under her might not be able to defeat each other.
The fortress cannot carry tens of thousands of troops. Even if she decides to send troops to defend, for the time being she can only set up camp on the plains, which is where the greenskins are good at fighting.
If the tens of thousands of troops are easily defeated by the greenskins, then this kindness to the dwarves will probably be greatly reduced.
So after several considerations, Khalida finally stayed. After all, what Levi said made sense, and making good friends with the dwarves was one of the instructions given by the goddess Lilith.
At the same time, some of the chosen heroes who met with Levi yesterday also gave up.
Basically, because they suffered heavy losses in previous battles and were unable to go out, they accepted Kazrik's mission and guarded the fortress together.
Due to the serious situation and tight time, Li Wei and the others quickly set off for the target location - Misty Mountain.
Then Levi discovered that Storm Warhammer and others also had mounts, some blue sheep, mountain boars or giant cave lizards, etc. One guy even made a steel turtle.
Although the straight-line sprint speed is obviously not comparable to serious mounts such as war horses, it is still enough for transportation.
It's a pity that it was during normal times. When Sally, Sefa and others rode the Sphinx, the eyes of all the dwarves looking at Levi became very resentful.
Because their mounts are not even as high as the Sphinx's knees, their attack, defense, speed, or sheer draw power are all completely different.
After several hesitations, Storm Warhammer finally gritted his teeth and took the initiative to come closer.
"Levi, do you sell this big guy?"
"Of course, as long as the price is right, there are not many things in the world that cannot be sold."
Seeing that Li Wei was so happy, there was not much joy on Storm Warhammer's face. He just continued to ask: "Can you tell me the approximate price? It can be considered as giving up on me."
He already had a hunch that some things that seemed easy to obtain actually often had higher requirements.
Li Wei chuckled: "If it's a gold coin, it's a bit expensive, 3,000 gold a head."
Even if the problem of soul crystal is not taken into account, although the other materials used by the Sphinx seem to be relatively common, they cannot support the huge quantity required, so its cost price has exceeded one thousand gold.
Considering that he is currently the only one who can sell them to the outside world, doubling the price is already a very fair price.
Storm Warhammer's eyes suddenly widened. He also has two villages and several younger brothers under his command. Since they have been following Belegar, a wealthy man, everyone is considered a small rich man.
But this price really made him vomit blood. He was worth this amount, but it was all in fixed assets. Even if a few people came together, they wouldn't be able to get so many gold coins.
Then he thought about it and thought of the meaning of Li Wei's words. He immediately tried: "If it's not gold coins."
"High-level magic, epic equipment, rare pets, special expertise, battle treasures, or dwarf runes"
Levi crossed his fingers and said: "I don't like ordinary things, but if you can bring out these high-value things, you can exchange them with me. I will definitely calculate the premium according to the market price."
During this time, he conquered north and south, killed countless enemies, and gained a large amount of loot.
The ordinary ones are basically disposed of in the nearest town, but the blue-green equipment that is a pity to be sold in stores has basically been acquired by Lotus, Sun Knight and others.
They don't all buy with gold coins, they also barter. For example, Sun Knight bought him a lot of consumable magic scrolls.
Lotus has also specially prepared for him a lot of expertise needed by low-level warriors and mages. Although he himself cannot use it, if it is used to train his subordinates, there will never be too much of these things.
For example, for Nuo Chong and others, becoming a heroic unit does not mean the end. It is just a new beginning. He still has a lot to learn.
Many feats, skills or magic actually have a hidden requirement, which is that they must become a heroic unit.
Even recently, the Sun Knight seems to be planning to make a big one so that he can replace the Black Demon Sword and other undead-specific treasures in his hand.
It would also be very good if we add one more dwarf now.
Storm Warhammer's face looked much better now, because he already had a general idea, forget about other things, but the type and quantity of magic in the dwarf's treasure house was definitely not small.
In the past countless years, they have found a lot of magic from the corpses of demons, devils and other evil races they killed, which the dwarves themselves cannot use, so over time, they have accumulated a considerable amount.
There are these things in the treasure troves of many mountains that Belegar has recovered before. With his current military position, as long as he is willing to spend some time and effort, he can always get things that Li Wei can like.
Then he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Levi, I heard that there is a place called Stranglethorn Valley in the Misty Mountains recently."
"There seems to be a white tiger with black stripes named Bangalash roaming there. In addition to being very cool, it seems to be able to control other wild beasts. Some people say that there are always a few jungle tigers or jungle leopards around it as its little brothers.
"
"If you are interested, you might as well take someone to see it."
Levi became slightly interested: "Oh, is that so? I wonder how strong it is?"
"Level 4 elites should be nothing to you."
If it weren't for the fact that dwarves had low agility attributes, so there were very few hunters or rangers, and the tiger was a bit cunning and knew how to use the mist to hide its figure, it probably wouldn't be able to hide now.
Li Wei nodded. The level 4 elites were similar to the original Laxili, but to them now, they were indeed not worth mentioning.
Even in order to capture it, he had to be extra careful to avoid killing it instantly.
It's just that the area covered by the Misty Mountains is not small, and Stranglethorn Valley and their destination this time are not on the same road. They can only wait until they come back after completing this mission.
"Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it."
In this way, while chatting, they marched towards the Misty Mountain, and then Levi very inadvertently let the other party know that three sets of Iron Watch had fallen into his pocket.
Now, Storm Warhammer is even more determined to get something really good to trade with Levi.
As they continued to advance, small groups of greenskins began to block the road, but in front of their army, they were like a mantis trying to block the way.
Not to mention the troops directly under Li Wei. After experiencing countless battles, those who can stay now are all elite.
Dwarves such as Storm Warhammer had experienced many battles in the Eight Peaks Mountain, otherwise Belegar would not have sent them out to undertake such an important task.
Their troops include a large number of melee troops such as dwarf warriors, dwarf warriors, bearded warriors and hammer warriors.
Except for the fact that their movement speed is a bit too slow, which slightly slows down Levi's marching speed, they are very good in both attack and defense.
The long-range units are mainly crossbowmen, musketeers and iron dragon hand artillery.
Then there are some faster rangers and butchers, as mobile units, but considering the short legs of dwarves, their agility is only for dwarves.
It is worth mentioning that Storm Hammer and others have some Iron-Smashing Warriors as their personal guards, and their strength makes Li Wei look at them with suspicion.
As fifth-level infantrymen who are known as the Hammer Warriors among dwarves, they are shrouded in meteorite armor. In addition to extremely powerful defense and extra resistance to fire, they also have a special trick.
That's throwing explosive charges made of black powder.
Simple, crude, but undoubtedly extremely efficient.
With their strength, if they throw it as far as possible, when an ordinary enemy rushes in front of them, it will be enough for them to throw it for two rounds.
It is very impractical in a one-on-one battle, but if it is a legion battle, the effect is very explosive.
Levi felt that even his silver guards would be seriously injured after taking a hit. If they were vulnerable low- and mid-level archers, being killed instantly would be their only fate.
When dealing with trolls and goblins, even if the damage is not considered, the huge explosions and blazing fire can scare away large groups of enemies.
What's even more outrageous is that, probably to make up for not being able to carry cannons, they made adequate preparations for this battle. Every time the Iron Breakers threw explosives, dwarves would immediately supply them.
In this way, they alone can cause a lot of damage to ordinary green skins.
Often before the opponent really gets close, a large amount of arrows and hail of bullets have already been poured out, first turning some of the enemies into corpses, and then throwing away the explosive packs of the Iron Breakers, even if all the remaining enemies are not dead.
, and were basically scared away.
If it is a small group of greenskins below 500, the enemy will be almost eliminated without the melee troops wielding their weapons.
This actually allowed Li Wei to enjoy a rare win.
However, in addition to the small number of people, less than a thousand people in total, the biggest problem of this dwarf army is its serious lack of mobility.
Even if they had helicopters and hired a few small groups of human cavalry, ogre warriors, etc., it would still be difficult for them to chase and kill them if they encountered a large-scale enemy retreat.
Secondly, there is a serious lack of legal troops. Except for a very small number of dwarf priests and foreign mages hired by Storm Warhammer, they can only rely on pure physical attacks in most battles.
Finally, these dwarves fight so noisily that they can be heard ten miles away, not only the sound of guns or explosives, but also the fact that they are always talking.
They can shout out all kinds of war cries, curses on the greenskins, bragging about their past achievements, and even what they will eat and drink when they go back at night.
Moreover, Storm Warhammer and others had no intention of stopping them, and even occasionally joined them. I don't know if it was because they had been together for a long time, but they were gradually assimilated.
To be continued...
