With the departure of many God-chosen heroes such as the Sun Knight, the number of large troops was quickly reduced. Probably because the military rank was high enough and the relationship with Mikaela was not bad, so some mages such as Master and Sui Feng also
All stayed.
Not to mention Levi, Michaela treats him the same as she treats other God-chosen heroes. Now she will basically think of him when anything good happens, and she will share a lot of information with him.
However, Master gradually became a little confused, because together with the aboriginal troops, their large army now has about five to six thousand.
With so many people gathered together, it might not be a simple raid on a small village, right?
So after removing all the impossibilities, no matter how incredible the rest is, it is still a fact.
He couldn't help but asked with a little excitement: "Levi, are we going to attack the haunted town now?"
Levi laughed, and there was no need to hide anything now: "Yes, I guess Michaela will explain the situation to everyone later."
Master suddenly became more and more excited, but then he couldn't help but frown: "Then do we have enough troops? It is a town after all."
He was a little confused about Mikaela's operation. If he wanted to attack the town, why would he spread his troops out?
Although Li Wei also believed that a lion must fight a rabbit with all his strength, but since Michaela made such a decision, there must be her reasons.
She must have been worried that there would be green-skinned reinforcements from other directions to interfere, so she sent those chosen heroes out to attract attention.
This is not completely impossible. It is said that the beast's blood boiled and drove away all the green-skinned native defenders who were originally entrenched here. So when they noticed the battle taking place here, it was indeed possible that they would come and take advantage of it.
Mikayla was well prepared.
So Levi explained a little bit: "It doesn't matter. The Haunted Town is different from other towns. It is already in a semi-abandoned state and its defense is very weak. Our strength is enough."
There was no need for him to tell the information about the bugbears now. Anyway, the other party would naturally understand it after a while.
Seeing that Levi seemed a little worried, Master also knew that he must have something to say, but since Levi didn't want to say it for the time being, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask for more information.
Anyway, let's hang out with Li Wei first. If the enemy's resistance is strong, he will probably not be able to work hard. He is still very good at fishing.
After continuing for a while, when the shape of a small town appeared in the distance, the other chosen heroes more or less understood something, and they all suddenly became excited.
I thought I was enjoying the autumn breeze with the aboriginal people, but now it seems that they are not only here to drink soup, but also to eat meat!
Michaela immediately ordered the troops to slow down and prepare to take a rest in the open space a few miles in front of the town, replenish supplies and physical strength, etc., so as to prepare for the next battle. At the same time, she was also waiting for that special moment
arrival.
At this time, she no longer hid, and officially issued the task of attacking the haunted town to all the chosen heroes.
Levi also took advantage of the opportunity to take a look at the defense facilities of the haunted town.
Not to mention, it's really bad. I thought that the defense facilities in Swineherds Town were relatively poor among many towns, but I didn't expect that there were even worse ones here.
Except for some arrow towers that are still intact, the entire town exudes a broken atmosphere from the inside out.
The city wall was originally only three or four meters high and was still in disrepair. Huge holes could be seen almost everywhere. With this appearance, except for the level 2 spearmen who found it difficult to climb up, ordinary level 2 rangers could easily cross it.
Bar?
Coupled with the information that Michaela knew, it's no wonder that she dared to attack with only such a small number of troops, plus her own divinely chosen heroes, because this siege battle would not be too bad no matter how you look at it.
It's difficult.
When they were in Pigherd Town, the crocodiles and giant crocodiles under Sobek's command failed to break through the town's defenses in one fell swoop, and Mikaela needed help.
But if it were the haunted town in front of them, Levi had no doubt that they would be able to easily defeat it in minutes.
However, the greenskins inside should have already discovered their advance, so at this moment, the city walls were so densely packed with bugbears that they couldn't even be seen. Levi didn't know exactly how many there were at the moment.
He knew very well that these must be most of the families whose blood was boiling. After all, the green-skinned natives did not have any channels to recruit bugbears.
Not to mention, these big guys who look like a mixture of goblins and grizzly bears are quite oppressive when their numbers increase.
It's a pity that bugbears have never been good at long-range attacks. They mostly use heavy weapons such as clubs or maces. Now that the distance between the two sides is so far, even if their own side is resting, they can only stare.
But at this moment, along with a series of piercing screams and the sound of flapping wings, a large group of black harpies rose up in the haunted town.
Without any hesitation at all, they flew straight towards the Sky Slayer airship in mid-air, and the greenskins actually took the initiative to attack them!
Levi was immediately shocked, because at a rough glance, the opponent's number was close to two thousand. Although the average strength of the harpies was very weak, with this level of numbers, they could be considered a considerable threat.
Moreover, they had seized the opportunity so cleverly. It was obvious that they had been closely observing their own movements through some special method.
In addition to the harpies, there are hundreds of gray-white soldiers that are somewhat similar to demons or giant bats. Those are gargoyles.
Gargoyles can be roughly divided into two types, one is a movable statue belonging to the mechanical system, and the other is some kind of living creature.
Levi is not yet sure which category these guys belong to, but he knows that they all have both physical and magic resistance, and are relatively resistant to beatings among the 2-3 level troops.
Then there are more than half a hundred, the Dapeng, one of the green-skinned guard units.
Dapeng itself does not have any special abilities. Their biggest feature is that their various basic attributes are very balanced and excellent, with no obvious shortcomings. Even if they fall to the ground, they can still fight for several rounds with the same level 4 infantry units.
.
But the real threat is the one at the front. There are nearly twenty monsters with the body of a male lion, strong bat wings, and a long scorpion tail behind the buttocks, and are five or six meters long.
They are level 5 flying units - Manticores. In addition to their powerful attack power, their minions and manticore tails are also highly poisonous.
It is said that its advanced unit, the level 6 poisonous manticore, can release special toxins that have a chance of paralyzing the enemy. In addition, they are flying units, making them very difficult enemies.
As soon as he saw them appearing, Levi knew that there might be something wrong with Michaela's intelligence. It was probably last night that Beast Blood Boiled and further sent reinforcements to the haunted town.
Originally, Michaela thought that there were only bugbears among them. Once that condition was triggered, the strength of the defenders would be greatly weakened.
But now it seems that things have undergone some new changes.
Michaela also frowned a little, but she immediately ordered her troops to prepare for the attack. Even if there was an accident, it was still within her control.
Levi also gave orders to everyone on the Sky Slayer. At the same time, he felt a slight commotion in the battle griffins under his crotch, and he obviously noticed the existence of those manticores.
Levi could clearly see that many of the feathers on its neck were standing up, and its eyes had become much sharper. It was obvious that it was eager to fight with the opponent.
It is said that the manticore is the mortal enemy of the griffons. In addition to the fact that the two have similar strength and similar habitats, they often compete for survival in the wild. What's more, their personalities are very different, and they can even be said to be opposites.
Griffins often advocate frontal attack. In addition to maintaining absolute loyalty to their masters, they always hold their heads high most of the time. Therefore, many people think that they symbolize honor and bravery, and this is indeed the case.
But these manticores prefer surprise attacks. Specifically, they first use their poison to weaken the enemy, and then slowly kill the opponent. Moreover, they are not loyal to their masters and will bite back their masters many times.
Not a few.
So over time, the two races have accumulated a lot of hatred. The griffins have become very keen on challenging manticores to a duel. Although they basically lose more and win less, it is said that once they succeed, their chances of advancement will be greater.
The amplitude increased.
But now Levi could not let the other side fight, because on the backs of more than a dozen manticores, there were still greenskins and bugbears holding battle axes, swords, staffs or spears.
Even though he had never fought against each other, he was almost certain that the other party was a heroic unit, including divinely chosen heroes and aboriginals, judging from the equipment that shone with magic.
When they started spitting out the fragrance, they directly asked Li Wei to confirm their identities. After all, even if the aboriginal people cursed, they would not curse so dirty easily.
But he wasn't very angry. What was there to be angry about when someone was about to die?
However, the weapons used by several of the bugbears made him feel a little surprised.
The manticore is five to six meters from head to tail. Can you really fight this kind of aerial combat with a mace and mace over one meter long?
But this thought fleetingly passed in his mind. He also piloted the gryphon to take off in an emergency, preparing to cast magic. At the same time, the 15 giant eagles he had recruited before were also guarding him. Xiaotian took the Yakons temporarily.
Guards are on the left and right sides of the Sky Slayer airship.
Many mages in the Arcane Temple also took action, and a large amount of buff magic began to be released for free. Master even personally led several mages with flying mounts and a part of the air force to follow Levi.
, prepare to fight alongside them.
Although they are mainly composed of golems, they have gradually begun to change the composition of their troops recently, so they have also recruited and trained part of the air force.
As the enemy approached, some impatient God-chosen heroes on the ground had already taken the lead in ordering their troops to start shooting, but because the harpies flew high enough, few of these arrows could successfully hit.
Many Sky Slayers began to move slowly backwards. Their defense and health were very strong, but there was no need to take risks here. Not only were the Sky Slayers themselves very expensive, but also because they carried a large number of troops, and there was no room for them.
accident.
The winged elves as reinforcements stepped forward slightly and started shooting. Their attack power was not high, but at least it was enough to deal with the harpies.
Following their rain of arrows, nearly a hundred of the harpies fell to the ground. Even if they were not killed directly, given their fragile physiques, falling from such a high place would only cause damage from the impact.
It's enough to be fatal.
But it has little effect on gargoyles with strong defenses, and it is even less painful on manticores.
Upon seeing this appearance, several green-skinned men dressed as shamans roared in unison, and with the flash of green light, they seemed to have activated some special ability.
The harpies, which were originally a large area of black mass, immediately started to move quickly, roughly forming a triangle, and their flying speed also suddenly increased by nearly 20%.
This move was beyond the expectations of the winged elves, and they had no choice but to start aiming again.
Fortunately, the archers on the Sky Slayer did not watch the fun. Hundreds of arrows flew over together and killed some of the harpies.
Some mages and druids who can use wind and electric magic have also taken action. In aerial combat, these two types of magic are the most practical.
Levi also took advantage of the situation and launched the Thunder Cloud Technique, and this time he chose his target very cleverly. He did not choose the strongest manticores, nor the weakest harpies, but chose the roc.
and gargoyles.
As soon as this magic, which is the most restrained for flying troops, comes out, even the higher-level ones cannot ignore it and are injured one after another.
The casualties caused by his magic to the opponent were secondary, but the best thing was that he forcibly divided the opponent's flying troops into two parts with one move, allowing the manticore and the many heroes on its back to fight for a short time.
Neihe's troops were out of rhythm.
Although this time may only be a few seconds, in the ever-changing battlefield, this is also an excellent opportunity!
Of course, Michaela would not miss this opportunity. She shouted directly and commanded her strongest Tianshi Knights and Gavin Knights to launch a charge.
Without much communication at all, she directly began to cooperate with Levi's actions, intending to further separate the manticore and green-skinned troops so that they could be defeated one by one.
At the same time, streaks of fire also flickered on the bodies of many flying troops. She was a fire mage. She was not good at aerial combat with almost all offensive magic, but she could cast some magic to assist.
Master and others naturally chose to follow. Although there was no one among them who had mastered the Thunder Cloud Technique, other wind or electricity magics were also somewhat effective.
Especially those who could use sky turbulence made some gargoyles dizzy and fly in the opposite direction.
This also allowed Levi to confirm that these gargoyles should be living creatures and not mechanical creations.
The green-skinned heroes also knew that this was the critical moment. They roared and used their abilities to press the box. For a while, the brilliance of various magics flickered, and two bugbears directly drove the manticore towards Mikaela.
He rushed over and seemed to want to carry out beheading tactics.
This scene made Levi want to laugh a little. Even though Mikaela is a mage, her mount is a sub-adult little phoenix. Even if we don't mention the combat power, in terms of speed alone, it is by no means a manticore.
Comparable.
It can even be said that as long as she doesn't act stupid, the manticore will never be able to catch up with her in this life!
Sure enough, after casually releasing a volley of fireballs, Michaela retreated directly back and easily opened a considerable distance. Then she started casting again and threw another volley of fireballs. She also knew how to use a kite.
Tactical.
The two reckless bugbears suddenly fell into a very embarrassing situation. They couldn't catch up but couldn't catch up. They couldn't seem to run away. For a while, they could only be beaten in vain.
After adding another Thunder Cloud Technique to further divide a part of the enemy army, Levi summoned some celestial creatures, and Cindy also summoned several angels, and together they besieged the two most reckless bugbears.
As long as you kill the opponent's strongest manticores and the hero units on them, the remaining enemies will be just a trouble, not a threat.
Moreover, he took a fancy to the weapon in the hand of one of the bugbears. The two-handed sword flashing with electric light should be very suitable for Elegy, right?
After entering the battle, he discovered that these two bugbears must have just acquired the manticore, especially the bugbear that used a mace. Its weapon was obviously unable to effectively cooperate with it.
In most cases, its meter-long mace can only be used passively for defense rather than for launching attacks, because it is too short.
At this time, many large rocs and gargoyles rushed up. Michaela directly commanded the giant eagle to intercept, without killing the enemy. As long as they could delay until the Celestial Lion Knights and others killed all the manticores, their mission would be completed.
.
Master also sent their air force there, and their air force probably numbered about a hundred or so. Although the types were very mixed and the strength varied, if they were simply used as cannon fodder, it was still enough.
The Sky Slayer airship and the Winged Elves began to retreat quickly. They were not good at melee combat units, so they naturally needed to keep a distance from the Harpies.
Although the harpies tried their best to catch up, they couldn't catch up at all, and instead had to continue to suffer losses.
The speed of the Winged Elves is slightly better than that of the Harpies. As for the Skyslayer airships, although they look very bulky, they are actually driven by magic, and the Harpies cannot catch up.
of.
While retreating, they also gradually stretched their formation into a long arc. The wing elves even formed a special formation like an erect wall, which would be most conducive to them exerting the power of long-range units.
Moreover, their attacks are extremely targeted, and they are not even specifically pursuing enemy-killing efficiency. They have only two purposes:
First, kill the harpy that is too close to them and poses a certain threat;
Second, launch a covering volley at all harpies trying to get close to Mikaela, Levi and others, and try to prevent the harpies from interfering with the battle there.
Due to the quick response of Mikaela and Levi, the Greenskins side was completely unable to exert the effect of the surprise attack. Instead, they fell into a very passive situation, with more than one war dead appearing every second.
They were fighting fiercely in the sky, and the ground was not completely peaceful. A mixed force composed of goblin wolf cavalry and green-skinned boar boys also took the opportunity to sneak out from the side, seeming to want to launch a back attack.
.
But before they could get closer, Reiner had already noticed the other party. He directly led the Dragon Prince and the Silver Helmet Knights to charge. Simon, Luna and Julia naturally chose to follow.
Although the combined cavalry troops of both sides amounted to just over 500, the encounter was fierce and the outcome was decided very quickly.
How could these low-level green-skinned cavalry be their opponents?
In just one charge, the leading green-skinned hero was killed by Reiner and the Dragon Princes, and the remaining green-skinned cavalry were no match for them.
After fighting fiercely for a while, the result appeared on a small battlefield in mid-air. Levi and Cindy successfully killed the two target bugbears and successfully captured the big sword that Levi wanted.
Their manticore mounts were still struggling, but after losing their command, they were already close to death.
Mikaela also cooperated with the Celestial Lion Knights and killed several green-skinned shamans who were more threatening.
However, the Gavin Knights have not been able to achieve any results, not only because the green-skinned heroes cooperated very well, but also because the strength of the Gavin Knights does not have any advantage over the Manticore.
.
And I'm afraid they won't have much chance next time.
Because after the brief defeat, the greenskins quickly adjusted their battle strategy, and a considerable number of harpies were mobilized, no longer chasing the elusive Skyslayers and Winged Elves.
They began to try to besiege Levi and Michaela, and I have to say that this move did have a certain effect.
Although these harpies are very weak, and the proportion of Level 3 harpies is quite small, no matter how weak they are, they are not enough to allow Li Wei and the others to completely ignore each other.
Not to mention anything else, just their blocking of the line of sight can play a considerable role in the battle, which forces them to continue to distance themselves from the opponent like the Sky Slayer just now.
Even the stronger Michaela is no exception, because she has to be careful to see if there are manticores or harpy heroes suddenly rushing out from behind these harpies to launch a surprise attack on her.
Once she is really entangled by the opponent, she may not be able to resolve the battle quickly. Phoenix is not a unit that is particularly good at close combat, not to mention that her Xiaohong is still in a sub-adult state.
After losing the assistance of Mikaela and Levi, the harpies quickly relied on their numerical advantage to quickly rescue the manticores who were besieged by the Celestial Lion Knights and others, and instead caused them to encounter
siege.
But fortunately, at the critical moment, Mikaela ordered them to launch a breakout. With the 6th-level Tianshi Knight as the vanguard, they successfully reunited with Mikaela.
The greenskins seemed to have tasted the sweetness of this. They once again commanded the harpies to swarm up, some of them attacked Levi and Mikaela, and the other part turned towards the giant eagles.
It seems that they have made up their mind to cooperate with the Gargoyles and Dapeng to eliminate part of their own combat power first.
Even if Michaela issued the order immediately, the giant eagles were still inevitably trapped in a tight siege, and casualties quickly occurred.
The giant eagles couldn't defeat Dapeng in single combat, and now that they were under siege, they were no match for them.
As for Master's air force, their strength is generally not as good as that of the Giant Eagle, and they suffer heavy casualties. However, they do not feel too sad, because when they decided to take the air force to fight, they had already anticipated that this might happen.
.
And they have probably figured out Mikaela's character. Although she is very indifferent to other God-chosen heroes except Levi, she is really clear about rewards and punishments. As long as she can successfully defeat the enemy in front of her,
Their losses will definitely be compensated many times over!
The Yakons led by Xiaotian also suffered heavy losses. Looking at it now, the legionary Yakons with only level 3 still appear to be too fragile in a battle of this scale.
However, in this way, without the harassment of the harpies, the troops on the Winged Elves and Sky Slayers could fully exert their combat power, and the number of harpies began to decline rapidly.
Almost double digits of harpies fell from the sky almost every second. Soon their number was less than a quarter of the original number, and the pressure they brought to Levi and the others quickly weakened.
.
After another thunder cloud spell severely damaged some gargoyles and affected some rocs, Levi found that the giant eagle under Mikaela was almost dead.
It seems that she has not learned the skills of the Eagle Commander. The battle attributes and equipment bonuses alone are not enough to allow her Eagles to survive in this situation.
Seeing the remaining manticores, rocs and gargoyles gathered together, seemingly preparing to launch the next round of attack under the cover of the harpies, Levi instead smiled.
Almost all of the enemy's air force is close combat units, but our own is mainly long-range units. The longer the delay, the more beneficial it is to our own side. In the ten seconds it took for the opponent to reorganize their formation, hundreds of troops were killed.
.
Even if the greenskins reluctantly launch an attack again, it will be nothing more than a desperate charge.
He prepared to use the Thunder Cloud Technique again, and added some information about the celestial creatures. In such a fierce battle, the celestial creatures died too quickly.
After several lessons, the greenskins have a certain understanding of this trick. They will no longer foolishly rush into the coverage of Thunder Cloud Technique. Instead, they will try to
Then go around from both sides.
But this kind of detour, although it can prevent them from being harmed, can also allow Li Wei to achieve his goal, because his original intention is to divide the enemy's formation, and killing the enemy is secondary.
Master and others took the opportunity to release a wave of magic and killed some gargoyles and several rocs. Although this battle was extremely thrilling, I have to admit that it was also very exciting!
Michaela released some auxiliary magic for the Celestial Lion Knights while looking towards the ground again.
As the supreme commander of this battle, her mission is not only to defeat the enemy's air force, but also to control the overall situation. Otherwise, even if she is a fire mage who is not very good at aerial combat, with full firepower,
It will definitely cause more casualties to the enemy.
After a few more seconds, the greenskins rearranged themselves into a triangle formation. Under the cover of only about two hundred harpies left, they launched another charge. This time they still chose Mikayla as their target.
.
Seeing this, Levi couldn't help but laugh a little. It seemed that he had given priority to killing all the chosen heroes in the enemy army, and it really had a big effect.
Otherwise, according to their usual behavior, in this case, they will either change the target of attack, or they may simply start running away. Only the green-skinned natives can be so persistent.
Michaela also snorted, feeling that she was being slighted, but she hoped that the greenskins could be so stupid.
In that case, maybe she can capture more territory belonging to the Hongyun tribe before the Dragon Prince recovers and returns!
However, after thinking about it, she immediately ordered the troops to retreat and try to keep a distance from the enemy. Although it was possible to win in a head-on fight, it was not necessary at all.
Seeing the fierce fighting in the sky, many of the God-chosen heroes on the ground were initially excited and excited, but gradually became a little bored, because they could only watch the excitement and could not get any experience points or other rewards from it.
And it’s quite tiring to keep my head up all the time.
Some of the chosen heroes, headed by Sui Feng, couldn't help but talk about it, and gradually turned their attention to the haunted town ahead.
These bugbears don't seem to have any long-range weapons at all. If they get close now, they should be able to take advantage of it as long as they pay attention to the opponent's arrow tower, right?
Unfortunately, Michaela has not issued the latest order to them for the time being. Levi and Master are also busy fighting, so they can only discuss in a low voice and dare not take rash actions.
At this moment, a painful wail that seemed to penetrate everyone's ears and hearts suddenly sounded. Before they could react, a system prompt revealed the truth to all the chosen heroes.
"The fearful god of the bear land spiritual system, the demigod Skiggrit, fell into the underdark."
"Affected by this, all bugbears within a radius of a hundred miles who have not reached the legendary level will have their strength weakened to varying degrees in a short period of time, and there is a chance that they will randomly enter states of fear, madness, shock or trance."
Before they could react, another voice also sounded, but this time it was not a system prompt, but a male voice that sounded powerful and full of resentment.
"I used to be called Dalal Firecloak, the Lord of the Green Flame of the Elven Gods, and the enemy of the Spider Queen Rose. Now I have successfully returned."
"From today on, I will be the embodiment of fear, the messenger of revenge, the hunter in the night, and the guardian of the night elves. My name is Illidan Stormrage!"
