Chapter 171 Going deep into the ground
The young man said nothing. Levitra and the dwarf Tiemu Manchu looked at each other and found that the other party was confused, so they had to look at the young man again.
But unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be subjected to some strong stimulation. He widened his eyes and wanted to say something, but before he could say it, a bunch of blood was spurted out first, and then the guy fell down and lost his breath in an instant.
"I'll go!" Levitra quickly cast magic, trying to add some health points to the other party, but soon he found the system prompt, saying that there is no object that can impose magic at the moment. In other words, this guy is really dead this time!
Tiemu Manchuk was also very angry, but he was also a dwarf who understood things. There was no bloody plot. He blamed the other party's cause of death on Levith because he had known that the other party had only one breath left before death. In fact, being able to make the other party say a few more words, Levith's magic is already powerful enough.
He could only sigh and sigh at the fragility of the other party's life.
However, Levitra soon discovered something was wrong, and there seemed to be a little strange bulge in the other party's chest.
After talking to Temu Manchu, the dwarf immediately stretched out and touched it without hesitation, and took out a letter from the dead young man. Unlike the sheepskin scrolls that Leviz often had in Oak Village, the letter was actually written on paper!
After a few glances, Tiemu Manchuk immediately realized and handed it to Levitra.
After a few glances, Levitra found that there was not much text on the letter, but just briefly explained the content, saying that the owner of the letter had been attacked by the necromancer, the green skin, and the Scarven Rats, and was currently trapped somewhere underground, and asked the dwarves to inform the Drakken family of Nunn as soon as possible to come for rescue.
After reading the letter, Levitra found a task popping up in front of him, which was to go to the underground of the Gray Mountains to rescue the Drakken family. The reward was not stated, but just a series of question marks.
Levitra did not follow the first time, but turned to the dwarf with a seemingly irritated expression: "Nunn's Drakken family?"
Levitra knows the name Nunn because in addition to being the most important transportation hub and trade center in the south of the empire, it also has the most attractive place for Imperial players, that is, Nunn is the most powerful and well-known siege equipment manufacturing site in the empire.
Although limited by the current strength and identity of players, only a few players can enter the city of Nunn, they have confirmed that a large number of artillery and muskets are always made from Nunn, and then gradually transported and spread to the entire empire.
Moreover, unlike most cities in the empire, Nunn is an independent city that belongs to the empire but does not belong to any province. This comes from its own strong strength. Before that, only the city with similar situations, Marion Castle, which is at the junction of the empire and the Knights, could do this.
Fort Marion is because of its own island-like terrain that is very favorable, and it is the largest and most prosperous trading port in the old world, with enough financial resources to form a huge army.
Nunn is entirely because of its extremely developed factory equipment, which not only contains a large number of steam tanks, but also an artificial creation called Nunn land ship.
You can tell from the name that the thing looks like it is pulling a warship directly to the ground, and then installing wheels to make it move. Even the smallest land boat is more than ten meters wide and forty or fifty meters long, which is simply moving war fortresses one by one!
"Yes, Levith," the dwarf nodded, "The Drakken family is our friends of Blackstone Fort. Their Black Lady has helped us solve a lot of trouble, and they are also important trading partners of Blackstone Fort."
For some reason, a strange expression appeared on the face of the dwarf, which was mixed with fear and awe. Levitra suddenly realized that the Drakken family was probably not just as simple as the dwarfs said...
After pondering for a moment, Levitra finally decided to take on the task.
"Temu, it will take some time for your reinforcements to arrive here, but looking at this poor young man, his master must need urgent rescue, and I decided to take action."
"What?" The dwarf was a little surprised, but soon he realized that this was indeed a good idea, but the dwarf's friend wanted to let another friend save him... This made the dwarf feel a little uncomfortable.
Although Levitra didn't know what the other party was thinking, based on the dwarf's personality, he also guessed it. He laughed: "And I have long wanted to kill more Green Skin and Scarven Rats. During this period, my subordinates need you to take care of me."
Levitra pointed to the horse-riding attendants behind him.
Although he has not entered the underground world yet, the many videos uploaded by dwarf players and Greenskin on the forum have long shown that the underground world is definitely not a place suitable for cavalry operations.
There are many places that are very narrow, and can only allow single people to pass through. There are also many places that are chaotic in times. If horses and other mounts enter it, they may not be able to break the horse's hooves in a long time.
Moreover, these second-level horse riding servants are not very powerful in combat. After getting off the horse, they are even more of a group of chickens. In order to prevent them from dying in the underground world, it is better to leave them in the dwarf's outpost. Of course, it is impossible for me to ride in on horseback. Even Huameis had to get off Xiaobai's back.
Although this dwarf post was just attacked by the undead, it seemed that only one and a half teams of dwarves were left, and basically everyone was injured, there was no good way. However, according to Tiemu Manchu, their messengers for help had almost arrived at Blackstone Fort at this time, so I guess reinforcements would arrive here in a while and defend the attacked post.
Tiemu Manchu lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally agreed with Levith's proposal: "Levith, the Manchu clan owe you a favor, you will be a friend of our Manchu clan. But I can't let you work alone. Our dwarf soldiers are better at engaging in the underground world. Moreover, they have digged mines and made green skins before. I will send you a few people and let them be guides for you."
While speaking, Tiemu Manchu called four dwarf rangers with crossbows and battle axe in hand, and were very determined to assign them to Levith.
Looking at the other person's expression, Levitra knew that even if he refused, the other party would force him to give him. But why did he refuse such help?
Levitra responded with a smile: "Of course, I already regard the Wildhammer clan as my friend."
Hearing Levi's words, Temu Manchu was immediately excited. He even untied a metal wine pot from his waist and handed it to Levi's: "Levi, this is a witness to our friendship!"
Levitra took it over and found that it was actually a piece of green equipment, the name was Tiemu Manchu's wine pot.
There is currently a thing called Bergman Beer, which can be used as a buff item. Each drinking will directly increase the upper limit of 10 health points and 2 morale points. Although it lasts only three minutes, this small wine pot actually contains Bergman Beer that can be used 10 times. Even if you use it 10 times, you can just go to the Dwarf Tavern and spend some gold coins to refille it. Overall, it is a pretty good equipment.
Levith naturally accepted it with a smile, and said a few words to the horse-riding attendants, signaling them to obey the arrangements of the dwarves and not allow any conflicts, Levith said goodbye to Temu Manchu, and then followed the guidance of several dwarves and stepped into a dark cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, Levi's gaze suddenly darkened.
Unlike the surface world, there is no sunlight here. The things they use to illuminate are the luminous moss plants that appear from time to time on the walls and underground.
The sight here is seriously affected. If in this case, if the enemy is suddenly attacked, Levitra feels that the combat effectiveness of his troops will be reduced by at least 20% or 30%.
Not to mention, on the ground, the half-elf Sienna and the others were able to attack the enemy first at a distance of 180 meters, but in these twisted and crooked underground passages, they could not see that far, even if they could see that far, it would be difficult to hit the enemy in the dark with an arrow, so in comparison, melee troops were more reliable.
Fortunately, this passage did not last too long. After walking for about ten minutes, my eyes suddenly became clear.
On both sides of the wide tunnels that were obviously carved out by man were numerous torches. Looking at the old and dusty torches, I don’t know how long they have been here, but most of them have been extinguished, with only a few torches still lit up.
Levitra couldn't help asking a dwarf ranger: "Has this been dug out by you before?"
"Yes, sir, we have dug iron ore here, but later the mines here were dug out, so we gave up here and headed for other directions. It has been about twenty years since now. Anyway, the gray mountains are so big, and there are many underground veins."
Speaking of mining, even the dwarf ranger with relatively low intelligence levels straightened his chest and looked very proud.
Levitra looked at the torches again, and then he felt a little bit clear: "Well, then it seems that we have found the right direction. These torches have obviously been ignited recently, and they can't last for more than twenty years."
The young man might have been loyal enough before, but his intelligence was not very high. Although the letter of help asked Levi and others to know about the roughly what happened, he did not tell Levi and others the most important thing, that was the location, where was his master besieged?
So Levitra could only follow the passage and slowly search for traces, which further led to their movement speed becoming slower.
"Sir, I smell some stench of the undead," Moore Knight Tanato suddenly frowned and walked over, and then he said with some uncertainty, "It seems that there is also some fishy smell unique to wild animals."
"Oh? Everyone is more vigilant, and the melee troops protect the long-range troops in the middle!"
Levitra immediately gave an order, and he knew Tanato's character. If it weren't for the real danger, he wouldn't have told himself so seriously about the smell.
But in fact, he also smelled the stench soon. It has to be said that the scent was even more pungent than the stench he had smelled on the beastmen and even the undead. It was not more odorous, but it was just more irritating to the nose.
"Squeak, squeak!"
Suddenly, a noisy scream sounded, and when the movement was heard, the number of the other party was probably quite large.
Several dwarf rangers who were exploring the way in front had already shouted first: "Sir, it's the voice of the Scarven Ratman!"
Although the dwarves shouted loudly, they were not afraid of their appearance, but were full of excitement, as if they had encountered some fun entertainment activities.
However, Levitra was not careless about this. He immediately ordered the troops to be alerted and prepared to welcome the enemy. Fortunately, the passage here was still wide, about four or five meters wide, enough for melee troops to form a formation.
Soon, with a squeaking sound, a group of big mice with gray-green fur more than one meter long appeared in the sight of Levice and others. As they appeared, Levice noticed that the fishy smell in the air suddenly became thicker. It was obvious that the odor he smelled before was from these big mice!
However, after seeing the enemy clearly, Levitra breathed a sigh of relief: "It is the giant rats raised by the Scarven Rats. Their responsibilities in the rat-man society are similar to those of the hunting dogs in humans, and they also have to bear the responsibility for food in an emergency, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning."
The Scarven Rats are at least one of the initial optional races of the chaotic camp. Although they are ugly in appearance and have a very bad combat power, they are very rare in choosing players, almost no more than the halflings of the Stranger Chicken. However, they are also one of the initial races after all, and there are still many information about them on the forum. Moreover, these giant rats, which are not much different in size than adult domestic dogs, are just 0-level troops, which are almost no threat to Levitra and others.
This is true. Although the number of these giant rats was as large as four or five teams, they all turned into broken corpses on the ground in less than five minutes. Apart from wasting some arrows, no one was even injured, because the Moor Knights and the Infantry Attendant were the ones in front of them, and these giant rats were completely unable to break their defenses.
However, except for experience points, Levitra did not gain anything. These giant rats are much poorer than goblins. Even John, the hunter who is best at cleaning the battlefield and obtains the trophy he deserves from the enemy's corpses, could only shake his head very much after seeing the corpses of these giant rats, saying that he was powerless.
Levitra didn't care. Anyway, most of these giant rats are 0-level troops, and there are very few of them in level 1. It would be surprising if there were abundant spoils.
"Come on, it seems that our direction is correct. Since the giant rat is found here, the Skaven rat people are probably not far from us. Let's see if we can find the traces of the Drakken family."
Chapter completed!
