Early in the morning, as soon as it got dark, Li Wei was already ready to go, because today, the operation they had planned for a long time would be officially launched, that is, the attack on Pigherd Town!
The indigenous people such as Michaela and Reiner have also been preparing for a long time. For this battle, they directly mobilized thousands of troops, most of which were archers, mages and priests, plus a small number of flying units.
After seeing Li Wei and the others, both parties said nothing nonsense. After nodding to each other, they boarded the Sky Slayer airship that was already ready next to them in a tacit understanding.
Levi selected 6 models this time that could accommodate 50 people, allowing his most important archer unit to join the battlefield immediately.
Cindy, Elegy and others were naturally among them, and most of the druids transformed into Storm Ravens or Storm Eagles, clinging to the raised edge of the airship.
Although they can also fly, the road from Beast Control Castle to Swineherd Town is not that short, and they are likely to face a big battle next, so it is always good to save some energy.
After the transformation, they are smaller in size and lighter in weight, which will not have much impact on the airship.
But Li Wei's griffon, the legion led by Xiao Tian and the Archon, as well as Donna and their usual mounts, do not have this honor.
The former two could only follow the airship and fly over by themselves, while the latter was directly left behind, after all, their size and weight were there.
As for most of the remaining infantry and cavalry troops, they were led by Zhou Miyin, Lisa Dilan, Julia, Simon and Luna, together with Reiner, Sun Knight, Master and others on the ground.
March and try to take a circuitous route back to the northernmost side of Pigherd Town.
Although Swineherds Town is surrounded by extremely vast swamps, it does not mean that there are really no roads at all.
There is actually a small road on the north side of Pigherd Town. The greenskins usually march from that direction, and they don't want to have to wade through the mud every time they go in and out.
It's just that under normal circumstances, if you want to conquer there, you have to spend at least five or ten times the number of troops, and you have to be constantly vigilant about possible attacks from behind, so Michaela and the others completely gave up this idea from the beginning.
Because even if you can barely win the final victory, the risk is too high and the price will definitely be high.
But it is different now. The Sun Knight and Master are not trying to capture Pigherd Town, but to guard the only passage and cooperate with Michaela and others to prevent the defenders of Pigherd Town from escaping and to be alert to possible dangers.
reinforcements, and subsequent auxiliary occupation of Swineherds Town, etc.
Of course, if the war goes well, they located in the far north can continue to move north as quickly as possible and sweep through other green-skinned villages in the north.
When the subordinates boarded the airship one after another, upon hearing an order, the drivers drove the horses pulling the carriage straight into the sky.
Accompanied by waves of low exclamations from his subordinates, the Sky Slayer airship flew hundreds of meters into the sky in the blink of an eye, which made them feel extremely strange.
Levi also felt that it was a bit interesting. This was completely different from his usual feeling of riding a gryphon, and these airships were obviously driven by magic. Otherwise, the few level 4 giant eagles pulling the carts would not be enough to pull them.
These ten-meter-long airships are more like guiding the direction of the airship.
The newly joined blood elf Sally also sighed sincerely: "Lord Levi, if I had not joined your command, I would never have had such an opportunity."
After being subjected to multiple blockades including military, economic and magic, the blood elves not only lost their magic inheritance, but also couldn't even make decent armor or weapons. It's not that they don't have this technology, it's just because
They have no channels to obtain the ores as materials.
As for ballistas and trebuchets, there is no need to think about them, let alone such more powerful war tools.
Levi smiled: "Oh, is this just your goal? I think you can broaden your horizons, for example, a certain fire element scholar over there."
Following his line of sight, Sally also saw Michaela, who was riding a sub-adult phoenix, escorted by some giant eagle and griffon knights.
She was originally dressed in fiery red high-end equipment. Against the backdrop of the phoenix, she looked even more heroic. Especially the mount under her butt was the most eye-catching one in the entire sky.
Sally was stunned immediately: "A fire element scholar?"
As a blood elf who is best at fire magic, she would certainly not be unaware of the meaning of this word. It can basically be considered as the ultimate pursuit of their entire race.
It's a pity that she hasn't heard of any clan members being able to change jobs into it for at least a hundred years, right?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Master Li Wei, you really think highly of me."
Levi was noncommittal: "At least, you need to set an ambitious goal first, and then you have the motivation to move forward, right?"
Most of the aborigines only have a higher starting point, but compared to the God-chosen heroes who have to go through more than one battle every day, their lives are still too comfortable, so their speed of becoming stronger will never be as fast as the God-chosen heroes.
.
But now that she has chosen to follow Levi, Sally will never be as comfortable as she was before. She has to participate in more than one battle almost every day!
Sally was stunned again, and then she nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand, Lord Levi!"
Although at first she chose to follow Li Wei in order to repay the kindness of saving her life and because she had nowhere to go, but now it seems that the man she is loyal to has huge ambitions that she cannot imagine.
!
With such emotion in her heart, she had not yet truly realized what the future she would face would be like.
While speaking, the Sky Slayer airship had already crossed a distance of several miles. Its speed was not only much faster than that of an ordinary galloping horse, but it was not much different from the flying speed of the giant eagles themselves.
This further confirmed Levi's guess that this thing was definitely powered by magic.
Not long after, the Pigherds Town in the distance was already in sight. Levi also took out the token Sobek had given him before and held it firmly in his hand.
Although they are coming with force this time and it is an air force raid, Sobek's reinforcements are also a very critical point in this battle. Otherwise, they will only raid and plunder at best, rather than occupy.
As they continued to get closer, they could gradually see some moving green dots in Swineherds Town, which were the green skins that got up early one after another.
Donna and others also clenched their weapons and prepared to fight. Levi and Cindy even began to use summoning and auxiliary magic.
After continuing to advance for some distance, suddenly, a small group of harpies rose into the sky. I don't know if it was a pure coincidence or a routine reconnaissance, but they all quickly discovered their own air force.
A shrill cry suddenly rang out: "Enemy attack!"
But both Michaela and Levi smiled, because the distance is now close enough, and it doesn't matter even if they are discovered by the enemy!
Levi immediately activated Sobek's token. With a low roar, Sobek's shadow appeared in mid-air. After grinning at Levi, the phantom disappeared in a flash.
Then there was only a flash of light, and somewhere in the swamp below, the mud suddenly boiled, then exploded, and a mud vortex nearly a hundred meters in diameter appeared on the spot.
Hundreds of large crocodiles with majestic scales and strong bodies poured out of it. After a slight pause, they seemed to be confirming the direction and target of attack, or accepting Sobek's instructions, and then they went crazy.
launched a charge towards Pigherd Town.
Among them are not only the ferocious crocodiles and crocodile warriors that Levi has known or recruited before, but also some more powerful crocodile warriors, as well as many kinds of extremely large crocodile war monsters.
The most eye-catching thing is a super giant crocodile with extremely swollen muscles. It is at least two meters high and more than ten meters long. Its head alone is larger than that of ordinary people.
Probably because it was summoned indirectly by Levi, he was able to see its general information. Its name is Emperor Crocodile, and it is a 6th-level soldier.
Then there are the Thorn Crocodile with sharp bone spurs all over its body, the Iron-eating Crocodile with gray-black scales shining like metal, and the Spider Crocodile with four pairs of slender claws.
There are so many kinds, at least twenty or thirty types.
More importantly, each type of crocodile seems to have a corresponding crocodile man. When the leader of the crocodile man is upright, he is taller than ordinary ogres or minotaurs, and one arm is thicker than Levi's waist. It seems to be exactly the same.
Transformed from Emperor Crocodile.
In addition, there are some with simple marks or totems on their bodies, some processed crocodile teeth, Sobek's emblem carvings, etc. They look like guys from legal units.
The reason why I say they look similar is because their size and the weapons in their hands are no different from those of the crocodile warriors. If anything, they may be similar to battle priests like Cindy.
But regardless of their profession and strength, this swampland that has troubled the elves for a long time is like flat ground to them.
Almost in the blink of an eye, before the greenskins in Pigherd Town had time to react, they were already approaching quickly.
At the same time, Sobek didn't know if he had listened to Levi's previous words. Forget about the crocodiles, quite a few of the crocodile people held radiant magic weapons in their hands, and some even carried some magic props.
Judging from Li Wei's inference, Sobek probably temporarily opened his treasure house in order to win today's battle with dignity.
The abilities of those crocodile priests also surprised Levi. Since the time was relatively short, they only showed two kinds of spells after their appearance, one of which could suddenly increase the speed of crocodiles or crocodile men by a large amount.
Another one can actually turn dead wood and the like everywhere in the swamp into giant crocodiles, and Levi can be sure that it is definitely not an ordinary illusion.
Seeing how they are working so hard, how can Levi and the others be willing to lag behind? After all, these giant crocodiles are just reinforcements, they are the real main force in this battle!
Following Michaela's sweet shout, all the Sky Slayer airships continued to fly towards the top of Pigherd Town. Before they were far away, a large number of arrows were already shot downwards.
Everyone, including Donna, had to admit one thing. This kind of shooting from a high position, vision and accuracy were far better than ordinary moments.
At this time, the greenskins in the town became more and more confused. They seemed not to have expected to face such an attack, but they still put up some resistance.
The most direct thing is that small groups of greenskins began to gather and began to fight against the crocodile men rushing from the direction of the swamp. More harpies quickly took off, seemingly wanting to kill Levi and the others.
to conduct a raid.
But before Michaela could order the giant eagle or knight to attack, Levi had already taken action.
As he cast the spell, a large purple thundercloud had formed, covering more than 90% of the harpies.
Not only did this affect their sight to a certain extent, they heard a crisp sound and a bolt of lightning flew out of the thundercloud and directly penetrated several harpies.
Then, as if in response to it, more thunder and lightning began to strike at the harpies below, and for a moment the thunder and lightning seemed like rain.
Although the attack power of these thunder and lightning was not too high, at least none of the harpies were killed directly, but they fell straight down one by one as if their wings were paralyzed.
Judging from this height and their fragile bodies, once they actually hit the ground, it would be difficult for them to survive the fall damage alone.
This is the level 4 magic - Thunder Cloud Technique that Levi has mastered that is specially designed to target flying creatures. In the past, he mostly operated in the dark area and never had its turn to appear, but now it has truly shown its power.
Seeing this scene, Mikaela in front couldn't help but smile. She didn't ask the flying troops to take action, but just asked some wind mages to take action.
As a result, several cyan whirlpools with a diameter of more than ten meters were formed. Even if the remaining harpies escaped Li Wei's Thunder Cloud Technique, their flying ability was soon seriously affected by these whirlpools.
Countless tiny wind blades flew out of the whirlpool, splitting their bodies and wings. Even those who occasionally survived would be easily killed by their magic.
While they killed these harpies, the crocodile people also rushed forward with many crocodiles and started fighting with the greenskins' makeshift defense force.
Although the greenskins never thought that they would be attacked from this direction, Pigherd Town is a town after all, and it is the most important stronghold of the Red Cloud Tribe. It may not even be one of them. They still built a large number of fortifications here.
It is not a simple wooden structure, but all are solid stone buildings.
Although it is obviously much inferior to the brilliant defense facilities in Ash Ridge Town, it is still very powerful. Even if the reinforcements sent by Sobek include level 6 troops, they cannot be broken through in the blink of an eye.
Of course, they destroy buildings very quickly. Without the interference of green skins, they would be able to smash out a passage in just a few minutes.
But Levi still felt that it was not fast enough, so he began to use ice storm to assist the crocodile people.
Donna commanded the archer troops to carry out targeted sniping. Once greenskins gathered in any direction, or a commander appeared, she would immediately cover them with arrows, making sure to stop them.
Not long after the war started, although it was still early for the battle to end and the system had not yet conducted detailed statistics, but with her experience, in such a short period of time, she had killed at least 3 warrior-type God-chosen heroes or heroes.
There is no other reason, simply because the equipment on their bodies is more conspicuous and they are more resistant to beatings.
The same is true for the long-range units led by Michaela, and it can be seen that although Black Castle and Ashridge Town are unable to send more troops for support, they are also extremely supportive of her operation.
There are at least five or six new faces on her airship. Judging from the way they are covered in magic equipment, they should all be heroic units. Their appearance will increase the effectiveness of the shooter unit.
So now, many greenskins are dying almost every second. Judging from the current situation, even if the crocodiles cannot break through the defense, they may be able to kill all the enemy troops below if they fight for a few more quarters of an hour.
As for Mikaela herself, after throwing down a few large magic spells and defeating the greenskins gathered together, she turned to concentrate on casting high-level magic.
As the Dragon Prince's confidant mage, she can be considered a battle veteran, so of course she knows that in many battles, killing all the enemies is the most direct and thorough method, but it is not necessarily the most efficient.
It would be more time-saving and labor-saving if one's own side could use a thunderous strike to defeat all the resistance of the greenskins and even make them fearful.
Especially now that Pigherd Town is about to be handed over to Sobek, the shorter the battle lasts and the more intact the many buildings in the town are, the more it can prove the power of the elves.
So she decided to use her ultimate move!
In comparison, Cindy, Elegy and others are a bit boring because they can only watch the battle now. Before the number of green skins is reduced to a certain level, Li Wei will not let them go down because it is too dangerous.
Already.
At this moment, with several roars, five or six bipedal dragons that looked like enlarged versions of ducks soared into the sky.
There was also a green-skinned man sitting on the back of one of them, who was the aboriginal hero left behind in Pigherd Town. He had met and had conflicts with Li Wei and the others in the wild before, Mogrogro Ogre.
When he saw their faces, Mogrolu was obviously a little angry: "Damn elves, you dare to attack our pigherder town, you are really asking for your own death!"
But even though he was shouting like this, he had no intention of actively charging. Instead, he retreated slightly and just drove the other flying dragons to attack Mikaela, who was obviously preparing magic.
Li Wei couldn't help but smile when he saw this. Should he be said to be a green-skinned hero who won the title of "Demon Eater" in the war against demons?
Putting aside his strength, his intelligence is indeed completely different from that of ordinary greenskins.
It's a pity that no matter how different he is, he is just a greenskin after all. If Mikaela dares to do this, how can she not be prepared?
"For Charis, for Azul!"
"Gavin Knights, attack!"
With two loud shouts, three Celestial Lion knights from the Charis Kingdom took the lead in breaking through the clouds and rushed straight towards the two-legged flying dragons.
The celestial lions under their crotches are roughly similar in appearance to the big white lion that has become Donna's animal companion, except that it is obviously two times larger and has a pair of white wings on its back, which allows them to fly.
Ability.
The mounts on their backs all held long-handled giant axes and were dressed in pure white armor, looking majestic.
In terms of strength, they are all level 6 flying cavalry. Although their number is small, they cannot be underestimated.
As for the Gavin Knights who followed closely behind, they were a team from the Kingdom of Yris, including many giant eagle knights and griffon knights.
Their strength was relatively low, but they were still at level 5. In addition, they were a whole team of 12 people. Their numbers were larger, and their cooperation was extremely tacit. They almost stopped all the flying dragons in the blink of an eye.
And after only a few moves, everyone present could clearly see that Mikaela's bonus to them was definitely far greater than the ogre's bonus to the flying dragon.
Because even if they are both 6th level troops, those Tianshi Knights can overwhelm those flying dragons in a one-on-one duel. Coupled with the cooperation of the Gavin Knights next to them, the battle is less than 10
Within seconds, these flying dragons were already covered in bruises.
Even though he has a square, vegetable-green face, the devil-eater's complexion has still undergone a huge change.
As a green-skinned hero who has fought against elves countless times, even if he does not know the exact strength of the enemy, he can probably guess it. To put it simply, it is not something that the current air force in Pigherd Town can handle.
!
He immediately wanted to give up. From the current point of view, these hateful pointed ears were clearly prepared, and with the appearance of such a rare crocodile man, Pigherd Town might not be able to be saved, so he had better save his life first.
As soon as he saw the other party's hesitation, and then thinking about the last meeting with the other party, Levi knew that this guy might run away.
With our current strength, it's really hard to stop him.
He immediately snorted and mounted directly on the gryphon that had been waiting for a long time: "Xiao Tian, go all out to entangle that guy, Cindy!"
"Okay, Brother Levi, I'm coming~"
The big Loli suddenly jumped out of the Sky Slayer airship in excitement. Many unsuspecting elves next to her suddenly let out a low cry, suspecting that she was committing suicide because she did not cast flying magic and did not have wings.
But soon, Cindy told them with practical actions that she was not taking risks at all.
The angel cloak behind her was fluttering in the wind. Under the influence of magic, she flew directly to Levi's side with her guardian angel and battle angel guards, ready to cooperate with him in combat at any time.
Xiao Tian directly arranged the legions of archons into a neat square formation, and then rushed towards the demon ogre.
From the current point of view, among the many heroes under Li Wei's command, his strength is not particularly good, and his wisdom is not high. He is probably only better than Luo Wen, who was left by Li Wei to do odd jobs in Blood Glory.
And Leonidas, who was still beating fishmen all day long in Bitao Village.
But he also has the advantage of being absolutely loyal and strictly obeying all Livy's orders.
Since Li Wei gave the order, even if he died here, he would try his best to complete the mission!
The demon eater, who was still thinking about how to retreat, was furious when he saw this. He was afraid of the Celestial Lion Knights, not some mere third-level Archons!
And what's going on with that elf mage? Why does he look at me like that? Is he laughing at me?
So he advanced instead of retreating, and took the initiative to rush towards the groups of enemies. Even if he had to retreat in the end, he had to kill enough enemies first!
For a moment, the minions of the flying dragon and his battle ax swung together, and many legion Yakons were killed in response. They were only at level 3, and even with Xiaotian's battle attribute bonus, they were still too fragile.
Fortunately, Cindy quickly rushed forward with several angels, distracting most of his energy. He could ignore the attack of Legion Archon, but he could not ignore the battle angel's sword or Cindy's war hammer.
Levi also continued to use summoning magic to allow more heavenly creatures to contain the opponent. At the same time, he also prepared Xiao Qi to join forces with him to release magic.
Unfortunately, the level of Spider Web Technique is still too low, and it is in the air, and the enemy is still so powerful, so it may not be very effective.
Thinking like this, before he could take any other actions, Michaela on the other side had already completed her magic.
There is no doubt that it is of course the most powerful magic she currently masters - Yang·Yan·Explosion!
The fire bloomed and the earth trembled. All the green skins in the place where the magic landed were directly cleared away, and the remaining power continued to destroy those buildings that were in a dilapidated state but still troubled the crocodile people.
Naturally, all the green skins on it were destroyed on the spot.
Faced with such power, the entire battlefield fell silent for a moment, and even the crocodile men were frightened.
Levi was no exception. Even though it was not the first time he saw this powerful magic, he still couldn't help but be shocked every time he saw it.
However, after a brief period of silence, the crocodiles took the lead in letting out a high-pitched howl like a siren, and rushed in through the broken gap.
Many Sky Slayer airships also lowered their altitude, ready to completely occupy Pigherd Town at any time.
The demon eater who originally wanted to kill enough people was also shocked when he saw the scene below.
He had also heard about the power of the other party's magic before, but what he heard and what he saw in person were completely different!
In addition, the battle was already in an extremely unfavorable situation, so he had no intention of fighting anymore and directly drove the bipedal dragon under his crotch to forcefully knock away the groups of celestial creatures in an attempt to evacuate from the battlefield.
But how could Levi just sit back and watch this happen? The reason why he asked Xiao Tian to stop the opponent at all costs was to kill this demon eater here who was not as warlike as ordinary greenskins!
He and Xiao Qi's spider web skills both took action and covered the demon eater.
But whether it was a simple coincidence or whether he had encountered similar magic before, the demon eater suddenly accelerated and dived downwards, avoiding this move neatly.
Levi groaned suddenly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Cindy and the guardian angels had been following the demon eater closely, preventing him from escaping so smoothly.
Their pure straight-line flight speed may be slightly inferior to that of a bipedal flying dragon, but when it comes to rising and falling, or moving around in a small range, they are more than a step ahead of their opponents.
Li Wei also drove the gryphon on his crotch and chased after Xiao Tian and others. He was also thinking about what kind of magic should be used, but after thinking about it, he didn't have any clue.
After all, although he has a lot of magic at his disposal, they are either auxiliary or large-scale attack magic. For the more flexible and powerful enemies, except for using summons to pile them up, he is basically ineffective.
way.
But fortunately, he was not alone. After saying hello to Donna and Janet, a large number of arrows, wind blades and other magics immediately fell from the sky, directly killing both the ogre and his mount.
Cindy, Xiao Tian and others immediately sped up and swooped down. With their superior numbers, they finally found a way to block the demon eater.
This time, the demon eater seemed to have realized the outcome he was about to face. Coupled with Li Wei's deliberate provocation and giving him the illusion that he could kill him, the demon eater finally stopped running away and started the real battle again.
And killed dozens of heavenly creatures one after another.
Among them are not only the legion Ya Kong under Xiao Tian, but also the Pengyu Envoy and Courage Angel summoned by Li Wei, etc.
The greenskins may have many shortcomings, but one thing cannot be denied, their close combat effectiveness is indeed very strong.
But his good days didn't last long. Mikaela quickly used fire magic frequently, and together with other flying troops, killed all the flying dragons to prevent them from causing harm to the Sky Slayer airship. Then she took them
Joined the battlefield together.
At this moment, the whole situation of the battle was reversed in an instant.
Under their joint attack, the demon eater was completely unable to fight back. There were more and more wounds on his body. He no longer cared about any dignity and directly tried to escape.
Unfortunately it's too late.
When he was still forty or fifty meters away from the ground, the bipedal flying dragon under his crotch was killed first, causing him to fall from a high altitude.
Normally, this height wouldn't be a big problem for him, but he was already seriously injured and couldn't do anything at this moment.
After getting up from the ground again, he looked at the crocodile men in the distance who had invaded Swineherds Town in large numbers and were carrying out massacres wantonly. He looked at the greenskins who were retreating steadily and even deserters appeared. The ogre felt sad and angry. He already knew
own ending.
After glaring at Levi fiercely again, he roared unwillingly: "Damn pointed ears, don't think this is the end, our Red Cloud tribe will definitely take revenge!"
Levi chuckled: "Let's wait until you survive the devil's hands first. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see that scene!"
