Li Wei's plan was implemented very smoothly. He received intelligence the next day that the drow army had been dispatched, with the total number exceeding four thousand.
It seemed that the other party was really cautious this time, using all their strength like a lion fighting a rabbit, determined to defeat Pamela's Moonsingers, the small village they occupied, and any reinforcements that might appear in one fell swoop.
.
Even looking at its flags, this is still a coalition army. The five big families in Ostark City and more than a dozen small families, ranging from dozens to hundreds, all dispatched a certain number of troops and each led their own.
A certain number of alien servants.
However, it can also be seen that they indeed suffered heavy losses in the previous battle.
Otherwise, given the temperament of the drow, they will never share the credit they can get with other drow, because all drow are dangerous competitors.
And unlike before, the drow who came this time were obviously more elite.
In addition to the troops that Levi and the others had encountered before, there were also many spider-like drow wearing battle armor and holding big swords, drow cavalry riding underground giant lizards or giant spiders, and dozens of manticores.
, and some crypt scorpions that are more than one meter tall and five or six meters long.
Even if they didn't come out in full force, they definitely used most of their power.
But similarly, if Li Wei and the others can completely defeat this army this time, their next attack on Oostak City will be much smoother.
Li Wei immediately sent intelligence to all friendly forces, asking everyone to get into position and prepare to meet the enemy according to the plan discussed yesterday.
Now that these drow have come out, don't even think about going back alive!
After more than half an hour, the drow army crossed a relatively narrow passage and continued to approach the village where Pamela was located according to the intelligence.
But at this moment, the top of the cave suddenly lit up, and a large number of cone-like stalactites burned with blazing flames, and then they separated from the top of the cave one by one and fell straight down.
The chief drow mage of a certain family immediately screamed: "Damn it, it's stone fire and falling stone, those hateful shield dwarves!"
Except for Chaos Dwarves, ordinary dwarves cannot use magic, but they also have a very small number of priests who can use the magic given by their gods to achieve effects similar to magic, such as now.
At the same time, accompanied by a violent shaking, more hard rocks turned into sand and smashed downwards. The damage caused was actually not high, but it had a very serious impact on units such as crossbowmen, priests or mages.
big.
At this time, the caves they came from suddenly softened like mud, and became completely muddy in the blink of an eye. Then with the radiance of magic, they turned into solid rocks again.
Another drow mage couldn't help but curse angrily: "Damn it, fossils are turning into mud and mud into stone. There are more than just dwarves on the other side. This is a conspiracy and a trap!"
It's a pity that they woke up too late. After casting these magics, the mages didn't delay at all and ran away as soon as possible according to their previous plan.
And with a loud shout, nearly a thousand arrows flew out from behind multiple hills, instantly killing most of the drow spider masters, a small number of drow priests and mages on the spot.
As a result, countless small spiders emerged from their corpses, and hundreds of giant spiders in front also fell into a state of madness. They began to attack all surrounding creatures indiscriminately.
Coupled with the blockage of the retreat and the commotion caused by the magic above their heads, the entire drow army fell into a brief state of chaos.
At this time, with the slight shaking of the ground, the shield dwarves, dwarves, Moonsinger, Sui Feng, Sun Knight, Cai Jin and others who had been ambushing in the distance appeared one after another, as well as the most important, Li Wei's party.
Now that the shield dwarves and the Moonsinger's mages have joined forces and successfully cut off the drow's retreat, they can finally launch a formal attack!
With their appearance, arrows, bullets, magic, and even ballistae, trebuchets and cannons all launched violent attacks, killing and seriously injuring countless drow on the spot.
Although the attack speed of cannons and other bulky big guys is very slow, the dwarves also smartly chose to attack in waves, resulting in new attacks arriving every few seconds, which made the drow mages extremely uncomfortable and did not dare to continue for a long time.
Time stays in one place.
In this way, they can only cast some low-level magic, and the threat to the coalition forces is greatly reduced.
At the same time, the mages and shield dwarf priests, who had almost retreated to a safe distance, had almost never heard of magic such as falling stone and turning fossils into mud.
It is not to kill the enemy, but more to continue to disrupt the enemy's morale and formation.
Seeing this scene, no matter how stupid the drow is, they all understand that this must be a deliberate conspiracy.
In fact, the opponent may not only want to defeat them, but also want their Ostark City. Otherwise, there is no need for them to use such a large formation!
Almost at the same time, at least hundreds of drow unleashed extremely vicious curses on them, and then fought back one after another.
Because they all know that even if they can survive this battle, if the enemy takes advantage of Ostark City and uses the cruel methods of Spider Queen Rose to treat the losers, they will definitely suffer something worse than death.
More painful torture.
So they have only two choices now, either defeat the opponent, or simply die here, there is no way out!
All of a sudden, the drow used all kinds of magical arts and magic. Almost as soon as the battle started, it became extremely anxious. It was obviously a dark area, but it was reflected even brighter than the surface world.
However, there were no surprises or surprises on Li Wei's side. They just followed the previously deduced situation and began to advance towards the designated area and attack the enemies in their own area.
Yes, after many deductions, Li Wei divided an area of responsibility for each of them to deal with his own enemies first, and then help others.
Although there are a lot of drows, in order for this battle to be successful, Li Wei has mobilized almost all the forces he can mobilize, so they have to be more than one step ahead of the opponent in terms of total number of troops.
And the reason why they were able to complete the plan so smoothly was also thanks to those shield dwarves.
Among them are some high-level priests and special priests who have mastered a variety of powers related to rocks. It is not magic, but under the power of their gods, the effects exerted are the same as magic.
For example, the stone walking technique allows them to walk through rocks and soil, allowing them to conduct reconnaissance or ambush in advance.
Another example is Stone Vision, which allows them to see rocks as air. When hiding in rocks, they can also see enemies within a certain range.
Coupled with the stone fire spell, falling stone spell, fossil to mud spell and other spells of the drow mages summoned by Pamela, as well as careful planning, it was only natural that they successfully completed the ambush.
That is to say, there are too many enemies, and they don't have enough time. Otherwise, if the fossil turns to mud and then another turns mud to stone, the enemies will be locked in the hard rock on the spot, instead of like now, just
Blocked the enemy's retreat.
But despite this, Levi feels that if nothing goes wrong, he will win another hearty victory today. If everything goes well, maybe they can spend the night in Oostark City!
After another burst of arrows, a large number of drow spider masters died unexpectedly again. Levi, Sally and Lily also showed their power, throwing out the Flame Skull, Fire Wall, Flash Explosion and other magics, causing a massive amount of damage in a short time.
s damage.
At the same time, the five Eagle Claw Ballistas also began to attack. This was the first official appearance of Levi after getting them. Let his subordinates get familiar with the operation first, so that they can be better equipped when attacking Oostark City later.
use them.
I don't know if they were just lucky. He originally divided a large area according to his own abilities so that he could take on more responsibilities, but now most of this area is filled with squishy ones.
Either they were spider masters, or they were crossbowmen, thieves, rogues, etc. Facing their attacks, they had no power to resist, let alone fight back.
For a time, the melee troops such as Elegy, as well as Pamela and the Sword Dancers who had been following Levi, had little chance to perform. He felt that they were probably the first team to complete the goal.
The dwarves also went very smoothly. Hans once again used his special rune power, and Stump carried a helicopter to launch bombings, followed by a variety of war machines as assistance. Even if there were some spider drow among their enemies, they
He still beat the opponent so hard that he couldn't even lift his head.
The shield dwarves were not very lucky, as many drow priests and drow mages became their enemies.
But they were enemies to begin with and had very rich combat experience, so at this time a large number of earth elements and Gray Stone people were already at the forefront.
These earth elemental creatures are very resistant to beatings. The poisons and curses of the drow are basically ineffective against them. In addition, they also have a large number of dwarf crossbowmen and musketeers in their team, so
It's not difficult to fight.
And soon they also used a special war machine, the death roller that Levi had mentioned before.
They mainly rely on a huge cylindrical device in front of the machine, which is densely covered with various spikes. Driven by steam and spirits, multiple death rollers line up in a neat formation and move forward together.
Whether it's collision, crushing, or those spikes, it's enough to make the drow complain endlessly.
The drow's counterattacks had little effect on them, because their entire bodies were covered in thick metal armor, and ordinary swords and crossbows could not even break through their defenses.
However, from Li Wei's point of view, they are not without weaknesses, and they even have more than one weakness.
Not to mention its inability to fight against the air, its all-metal structure makes its resistance to lightning magic extremely low.
Since the source of power is steam and dwarf spirits, and it consumes a lot of money, you have to open the back cover to replenish energy before you can run very far. This is the best time for the enemy to attack.
At the same time, they also have very high requirements on terrain and are only suitable for plain combat.
It's okay to have some gravel, you can crush it directly, but if you encounter a ravine, you won't be able to get out if you fall in. If it's a swamp or a desert, let alone mention it, don't even think about moving a step.
stand up.
Li Wei and the others still studied together for a long time before they found the most suitable terrain for the shield dwarves.
Then there is the extreme clumsiness. You can only move forward or backward on the battlefield. If you want to turn a corner, it will probably take several minutes.
Despite this, their advantages are enough to cover up these shortcomings in most cases, especially since many of the drow's magic and poisons are ineffective against them.
And those silent shield dwarves, using Red Zircon Dusel, began to advance around the death steamroller.
Some of them can use divine magic, and some use shields as weapons. Their fighting style is similar to defensive counterattack. Although the efficiency of killing enemies is not high, their victory is extremely reliable. They have obviously been trained in the long process of fighting with drow.
Have rich combat experience.
Similarly, Sui Feng is in a similar situation. The golem army is not afraid of the drow's curses or poisons and other small tricks.
However, things didn't go well for Caijin and the others. In many previous battles, their harpies had suffered heavy casualties, and this time they happened to encounter more than twenty level 5 flying units - manticores.
Although judging from the current situation, they can still defeat each other in the end, but the already small number of harpies may be severely damaged again, and now they will be completely reduced to cannon fodder.
But the ones who are really suffering the most are the Sun Knights and Thousand Thieves.
If you just have to face the various magical attacks of the drow mages, then their undead cannon fodder will come in handy.
But those drow knights and crypt scorpions are not something they can easily deal with.
Ordinary undead are not good at fighting against cavalry-type units. Currently, the only undead units they have are skeleton spearmen.
But their strength is too weak. Often a drow knight's charge can smash several skeletons in succession, and it is difficult to even delay them.
And as they fought, they discovered that the Crypt Scorpions were not only a powerful mix of Level 5 and Level 6 soldiers, they could also dig holes!
Often they plunge in suddenly, and the solid earth under their feet accommodates them like water, and then a few seconds later, they pop out from another place.
And I don’t know if they are being remotely controlled by some drow, or if they are born with such keen intuition. These crypt scorpions seem to be specifically burrowing near archers and other fragile troops, which is even more terrible.
Based on their strong strength, whether it is the swing of the huge double pincers, pincer strikes, or the poisonous tail needle, they are extremely deadly to the archers.
Moreover, their attack frequency is not low, and their attack range is not small. Priests and druids often have no time to treat them, and those unlucky guys have already died.
Even though the cooldown time of their special skill with many burrows seems to be very short and can only be used twice a minute, they are too strong and too flexible, so it is difficult for their magic and other methods to be put to use.
So just a few minutes after the war started, the Sun Knight couldn't help complaining and had to ask Levi for help.
Although the undead creatures under his command have no morale at all, the other troops and the chosen heroes like them all have morale. If the troops continue to be ravaged like this, their mentality will collapse first!
Li Wei naturally would not sit idly by. In fact, he had already noticed what was happening there, and he had also made certain preparation plans for it, so Elegy took the sword dancer, Cindy took the angel, and Austria
Du Yin took some of the ogres and rushed over immediately.
Then he summoned the bear-headed envoys headed by Bill and asked them to go together for reinforcements.
It doesn't matter if they can drill holes, as long as the monster immobilization spell can take effect, they will only die.
Temporarily handing over the commanding task to Donna, and asking Nar and the others to cooperate with her, he flew directly to the side of the shield dwarves who had dealt with these drow the most. At the same time, he also let the mages brought by Pamela take a break.
, to restore some mana.
Because he felt that the skills of the Crypt Scorpion were very similar to the stone walking skills of the shield dwarves, so the way to deal with them should be similar, right?
Facts have proved that the shield dwarves do know and have ways to deal with it.
The talent of the Crypt Scorpions is indeed stone walking, but the effect is slightly different from that of real spells. They can only pass through softer rocks such as ordinary sandstone and limestone. Shield dwarves can use rocks.
Metamorphism strengthens sandstone into stronger granite in a short period of time.
Although the Crypt Scorpions are powerful enough to smash through granite with brute force, they can no longer walk freely through the rocks like swimming in water.
After finding a way to restrain it, Levi was naturally very happy. Unfortunately, there was only one shield dwarf who could cast this spell, and there was only one mage brought by Pamela.
Because when used as a magic, rock metamorphosis is a level 6 magic, and ordinary mages cannot use it at all.
Fortunately, the bear-headed envoys were quite capable. Just when Li Wei was looking for a solution, they used the monster immobilization technique in conjunction with Dirge and others, and had successfully killed three crypt scorpions.
More importantly, everyone including the Sun Knights knew that the enemy was not without weaknesses, so they calmed down and started to adjust their battle strategies again to coordinate with the actions of Dirge and others.
Soon Li Wei arrived, and under Li Wei's order, the two reinforcements specifically selected those Crypt Scorpions who were about to drill underground, or who were halfway through drilling, to use the rock metamorphosis technique.
Although their magic effect can only cover an area of fifty or sixty square meters, it can be said that the crypt scorpions can usually cross it with just a few steps, but at this critical moment, the effect of the magic has suddenly increased many times.
.
The crypt scorpions were either stuck and couldn't get up or down, or they bumped into the hard granite and couldn't dig out a big hole even after a long time of tinkering.
At this time, Cindy, Dirge, Alduin, etc. all attack one after another, and can often kill each other neatly.
And under his command, everyone gave priority to targeting the weaker fifth-level crypt scorpions, killing them as quickly as possible, and then dealt with the sixth-level crypt scorpions with higher defense and life.
Because for the archers under the Sun Knight, there is not much difference between level 5 and level 6 Crypt Scorpions. They are both powerful enemies that can take away their lives, so Levi naturally wants to prioritize reducing the number of opponents.
to reduce the scope of the riots.
So as time went by, their cooperation became more and more tacit, the number of Crypt Scorpions became smaller and smaller, and the threat they could pose to the Sun Knights was drastically reduced.
Seeing how hard they worked, Sun Knight and others became more and more excited. They used their own tricks to cooperate with the hired ogres in the front row to fight against the drow cavalry units.
Even if the ogres are not professional anti-cavalry units such as spearmen, because of their large bodies and high weight, they often resist the opponent's charge without being knocked far away, which is very useful for maintaining the front line.
After all, the drow's underground giant lizards or giant spiders are not particularly professional cavalry mounts.
Levi also already knows this, so he has decided that the next time he encounters Blood Fist or other ogre leaders, he can recruit more ogres.
At present, it seems that when the ogres serve as cannon fodder, they are more useful than the ordinary Yuyong, mainly because of their greater applicability.
It's just that the quantity and frequency of their usual meals are a bit too much, so he has to prepare several times the supplies.
But no matter what, in this way, the battle situation becomes more stable.
However, Li Wei felt that something was wrong. Even if the drow didn't come out in full force this time, they were almost there.
According to the information provided by Root Shield Dwarves and Pamela, the matrons of several major families, mage leaders, martial arts masters, etc. are basically heroic units, but their current performance is a bit too mediocre.
?
Seeing that there were not many crypt scorpions left, Levi called his subordinates back. It is always good to be prepared.
As if responding to Li Wei's guess, when more than half of the drow troops were lost, their mages and priests began to cast spells. Almost in the blink of an eye, hundreds of waxmelt demons appeared in the opponent's formation, and then they all
Transformed into an ordinary drow with nothing to offer.
Seeing this scene, Li Wei and others, who had already experienced it once, gave it up, but Qian Tie and others couldn't help but screamed strangely.
On the other hand, Sun Knight was a little indifferent, because he had seen it many times in reality.
But of course Li Wei would not think that this was the end. The strength of those wax-melting monsters was indeed good, but it was not enough to change the entire battle situation. The drow must be preparing a bigger conspiracy!
Suddenly, many drow mages in the rear screamed, and flames burst out from their bodies, instantly burning them to ashes. However, many drow priests laughed strangely: "Damn idiots, let me see.
Our 'Demon Army'!"
Blazing flames soared into the sky, reflecting the red on the faces and armors of both enemies and ourselves. Then, accompanied by a series of roars, hundreds of hideous and ugly monsters walked out of the magic circle and rushed toward
The Sun Knights are under the most pressure.
Everyone immediately knew that the drow's back-up force turned out to be an army of demons!
