Sea dragon is a collective name for a variety of powerful sea beasts.
On the outskirts of the high elves' Ulthuan ring, there are some sea beasts that are like oversized salamanders, but much more ferocious and powerful. They have formed an alliance with the high elves, and they are called sea dragons.
It is said that there are also some hybrids of turtles and fish among the lizard people, called sea dragons.
The dark elf sea dragons only have dragons in their names, but are actually more like giant sea snakes and lizards.
Their heads are like dragons, but their wings are severely degraded and are almost the same as fish fins. They also have no forelimbs or hind limbs. Their bodies are like snakes, and their attack methods are like snakes.
But they still have dragon power and at least level 6 strength, which proves that they indeed have dragon blood.
The reactions of Catherine and Alduin also confirmed this, and even they were completely unafraid of the dragon cloud element.
But now, in addition to the approaching Black Ark, there are nearly 20 such sea dragons rushing over from the side, seemingly wanting to further delay their evacuation.
Khalida could only separate dozens of warships again, and then prepared to rearrange the formation again.
Even in a head-on confrontation with Black Ark alone, she had no confidence that she could win. Once she was held back and flanked, the outcome would only be worse.
But as a result, the number of her warships was reduced.
Although when she discovered that there was a black ark here, she had already sent signals to several other fleets and asked them to rush over to support, but it was not so fast.
Fortunately, the number of sea dragons was not particularly large after all. After spending a certain amount of money, they finally succeeded in getting rid of each other.
As for those sea beasts, although they are still chasing after them, their average strength is undoubtedly much weaker, and they cannot resist the dragon power of the dragon cloud element, so they still do not pose a substantial threat to the fleet.
Throughout the entire process, Levi did not raise any objections. After all, the coach this time was Khalida.
Just looking at the unhurried black ark, he was somewhat doubtful. Why was its speed so different from the legendary one?
Even if the opponent wants to take a step-by-step approach and eat up all the warships that Khalida uses to cut off the queen, there is no need to be so slow, right?
Or are they ambushing troops in other directions?
Thinking of this, Li Wei asked Su Mi and others to increase their reconnaissance efforts.
However, the ambush was not noticed, and instead the sahuagin accelerated their advance.
Sharks are not slow to begin with, and they will go into a frenzy after seeing blood.
In addition, the opponent also has many heroes, priests and other units, and may have been further strengthened in a targeted manner, which directly caused them to take one step ahead of Black Ark and bite the tail of the fleet.
Khalida couldn't help but frown more and more. Just when she was about to decide to cut off her tail again to survive, some unexpected reinforcements arrived.
Sea elves, wise dolphins, seal people, mermaids, loka fish people, triton sea people.
This is a collection of races that are subordinate to the Dreamers of the Sea, including even the Fei Yu tribe, which rarely appears.
They joined the battlefield from the side and launched a surprise attack on the sahuagin army.
After a brief period of shock, seeing that the Black Ark was still some distance away from the flagship, Khalida, who had already accumulated a lot of anger, no longer hesitated.
While she ordered the main force of the fleet to continue to retreat, she contacted the reinforcements, and at the same time asked her elite subordinates, headed by the priests, to begin a counterattack.
The power of long-range projectile weapons will be greatly reduced after entering the water, but the priests' summons and various curse spells can still exert very good effects.
And since the appearance of the enemy and ours is very different, there is no need to worry too much about accidental damage.
Levi naturally also joined in the battle, but simply dealt with underwater enemies. Michaela and Sally, who were good at fire attacks, had little use, not to mention soldiers such as Elegy.
.
Now, he and Cindy are probably the only ones who can still kill the enemy relatively effectively.
Alyssa may be considered half of it, her poison spells are quite special.
Apart from this, the only thing that surprised Li Wei was the magic swordsman Nuo Chong.
His Silent Curse is a small-scale magic, and the casting range is quite far. Especially since most ordinary fishmen do not have magic value at all, they cannot break his curse and will only lose their health points in vain.
The explosive power is very weak, but if it continues for a long time, it can still cause a lot of damage.
While using the Hammer of Justice to kill the most ferocious-looking enemies, Levi also looked at the members of the many races from which they came.
He has seen most of the sea elves and so on, but the rarer ones are the Loka fish people, the triton sea people and the Feiyu tribe.
Loka fishmen are not the kind of idiots who just scream and scream. They have some characteristics of both mermaids and water elements, and they look much more pleasing to the eye than ordinary fishmen.
Except for special parts such as gills, the upper body of Triton Sea people is already very human-like, but the lower body is still full of scales.
In addition, they will also carry one or several conchs of different sizes on their bodies.
Some are used for decoration, some are used for defense, and some are made into magic items. Perhaps this is one of the origins of their race name.
As for the appearance of the Feiyu clan members, they can be roughly summarized as human-shaped giant eagles.
Compared with those ugly harpies, they look more like humans, but they still retain the sharp talons, sharp beaks and other features.
But it is said that after joining the Cathay pantheon, their goddess Salanata received special powers from the dragon gods.
Therefore, it is possible for some powerful Feiyu clan to fully transform into humans.
Due to its small number of members, the Cathay Dragon God has been actively absorbing other kind-hearted gods from the outside world, and has always been mainly composed of various animal gods.
In addition to the goddess of the Feiyu tribe, the God of Qilin - Corell, the Panda Lord, and the Turtle Prime Minister, etc. are also the results of their efforts.
It's just that the Feiyu tribe is the only race among the sea dreamers that can't swim, so they didn't appear much in the previous battles.
But this time they chose to fight side by side. Is the war really urgent, or is it that the Cathay Gods also noticed the snake-man god's little moves, so they also launched targeted actions?
But no matter what, with the reinforcements numbering around 5,000, the sahuagin offensive was quickly contained.
The sahuagin have been doing evil for many years and have harmed many marine races, but they have never been punished. They are indeed very powerful.
But at the moment, their own tribe plus various large sharks only have a total of about three thousand. The remaining servant army, which is about twice as large, is basically all kinds of evil fish-men who serve as cannon fodder, occasionally mixed with some dark Nagas and evil water creatures.
elements and the like.
Moreover, their attack methods are too meager, and they basically just keep charging upwards.
In this case, they faced the coalition forces of various ethnic groups who cooperated tacitly. They did gain the upper hand at first, but their arrogance was soon beaten back.
As more and more sahuagin died, the smell of blood in the sea gradually became heavier, and some sharks even began to launch indiscriminate attacks on both the surrounding enemies and ourselves. The sahuagin were no longer able to perfectly control them.
But despite this, the Black Ark in the distance is still unhurried, insisting on killing those fleets that are behind.
Is this trying to drive a tiger away from a wolf? Levi felt something was not right.
Is it possible that the dark elves really have such strong self-confidence that even without the sahuagin, they can easily defeat their own side and the reinforcements of the Sea Dreamers?
At this moment, the sky in the distance suddenly seemed to split open, and bloody magic lightning fell from the sky and snaked like a snake, splitting three warships in succession.
Then dozens of black fireballs with a diameter of more than 1 meter fell from the sky, covering five or six warships.
In just a few seconds, most of the remaining ships that had been cut off by Khalida were reduced to ashes.
Even some corpses floating on the sea and some unlucky fishmen who got too close were all set on fire.
This kind of black fire is much stronger than ordinary magical flames, both in terms of burning speed and power.
Seeing this scene, Khalida immediately gritted her teeth: "It's the large-scale magic on the Black Ark - Kane's Whip."
The Black Ark is like a mobile fortress on the sea, so there are magic towers and other things on it, and there are often more than one.
Therefore, under the guidance of powerful mages, they can release one or more types of large-scale magic that is basically impossible to release with the help of ordinary mages alone, specifically targeting the army.
This is also their main attack method, and some people call it battle magic.
The dark elves believe in Kane, the bloody-handed god, so there are many powerful magics, titles, or equipment named after Kane.
When Kane is happy, he will also give them something that seems insignificant to him, but very powerful in the eyes of mortals.
This special bloody lightning should be one of the manifestations of his power.
The conditions for release are very harsh, but the power is undoubtedly much greater than conventional magic.
Michaela's face didn't look good either: "The Vicious Black Fire is too restrained against conventional warships and many of your troops."
Levi also frowned a little, because he knew that the other party might not have tried his best.
A normal black ark may be equipped with at most three to four large-scale magics. If they are so powerful, with the fleets around Khalida, it seems that even getting close to the opponent, let alone defeating them, is a luxury.
After doing this, Black Ark also turned to march towards their location. It seemed that they were planning to have a real decisive battle, but the speed was still so slow.
But despite this, even though it was still some distance away, the raging waves had already reacted first.
Some of the weaker water tribe soldiers were shaken to the point of becoming unstable, and many small boats began to shake slightly.
After all, it is a movable island, and every move carries great power.
Then Li Wei saw the coalition of sea dreamers and took the lead in taking action.
They obviously did not dare to confront each other head-on, and many troops began to try to break away from the battle.
And they also sent someone to tell Khalida that their goal was to reduce the number of sahuagin as much as possible. Now that the results were very good, it was time to retreat.
As for powerful enemies like the Black Ark, let's leave it to the high elves' fleet to deal with.
Before Khalida could think of how to respond, Levi suddenly stopped her: "Khalida, look!"
Following the direction of his finger, she immediately noticed that at least thousands of wailing souls had been launched into the air by spells.
Then they rained down from the sky, carrying resentment and hatred towards the living.
Almost instantly, at least seven to eight hundred war dead appeared on the side of the Dreamers of the Sea.
These wailing souls are not only extremely powerful, but also extremely fast, and can almost ignore the obstacles of sea water, armor, or scales.
How similar is this attack method to the "soul coffin" that is considered taboo by the Tomb Kings? It's just that it is undoubtedly much more powerful.
Before she could speak, there was another cloud on the horizon that quickly turned into a blood-colored pond, and then poured water downwards.
Regardless of whether the target was a living aquarium, a warship, a construct, or a mummy, they all melted quickly.
No, more accurately, it was corroded.
Only troops of level 5 and above can easily withstand this move.
But whether it's in Khalida's fleet or the coalition forces of the Sea Dreamers, the proportion of arms with this strength is very low.
So after just two moves, the Sea Dreamer who had been retreating quite calmly turned into a crazy escape.
The Black Ark didn't move, but once it moved, it gave them a showdown on the spot.
Even the messenger who reported the news to Khalida screamed, turned over and got into the water, and then chose to escape.
This actually saved her a little effort and she didn't have to think about how to reply to the other party.
But her mood will not get any better because her troops also lost many lives in battle!
But as a warrior queen, she certainly would not give up easily, and the remaining warships were divided into several squadrons.
Under the leadership of multiple generals, while distracting the opponent's attention, they try to launch attacks from different directions to find the opponent's flaws or weaknesses.
At the same time, the trebuchets and arrows did not stop, but basically they failed to achieve any effect.
Because the Black Ark is an island that has been strengthened with magic, even if a super crater with a diameter of 100 meters is created, it will only be a scratch on it.
Moreover, there is a high wall erected on the periphery of the Black Ark. It was a springboard for the dark elves during the landing battle, but now it has become a powerful defense that is almost insurmountable.
Li Wei and others on the other side also frowned: "The rain of souls is falling in chaos and the blood pool is falling from the sky."
"Michaela, this black ark can actually cast four large-scale magics. Isn't it a rare treasure among the dark elves?"
Michaela's face was equally ugly: "Yes, although I don't want to say this, we are afraid."
At this moment, she suddenly became energetic: "Princess Belinda sent me a message!"
But after listening to a series of messages, her face became even more ugly.
After learning what happened here, Prince Dragon decisively mobilized the fleet and marched towards Dragon Tooth Mountain.
His self-esteem did not allow Khalida to fight here, but he just stood aside and watched.
But he soon discovered that the black ark parked there was not some magical illusion, but a real existence.
What's even more ominous is that after judgment, the opponent should be the beast lord Larkas from Karonde Carl, who is also a legendary hero.
As the name suggests, unlike most dark elf lords, Larkath's troops are mainly composed of various beasts and monsters led by beast tamers.
Lacasse is also very keen on traveling around the world to collect them.
So far, he has mostly succeeded. Other dark elves can only, or can only control some regular beasts, and occasionally get a hydra as a family heirloom.
But Lacasse has dozens or hundreds of powerful war beasts, ranging from those that fly in the sky, to those that run on the ground, or those that swim in the water, he has them all.
He even has ice bears and mammoths from the bitter cold lands of the north, as well as white pudding monsters or ferocious penguins from the Antarctic, etc.
Only the Lizardmen's dinosaur troops have not been collected yet, because the Lizardmen are really difficult to deal with.
And another thing is that Larkas is very good at taming black dragons. He personally tamed the Dark Elf Witch King's mount, and he himself rides a black dragon.
As we all know, Malus has always only ridden a cold lizard, which is not consistent with his status as a legendary hero.
So Larkas came here at Malus's invitation to join forces to seize the Lizardmen's Dread Rock, obtain the god-given building about the dinosaurs above, and then conduct corresponding exchanges of interests behind the scenes. The two hit it off.
Khalida and Mikaela are not stupid either. Everyone can think of this. They also know that even the dark elves are very fond of backstabbing.
But the temporary alliance between these two legendary people is almost impossible to break easily.
Interest is on the one hand, but they also have to pay attention to the Witch King's attitude.
But for Levi and other God-chosen heroes, this beast lord also has another famous title, and that is the "Crooked-mouthed Dragon King"!
I don’t know if he suffered from any disease when he was a child, or if he was simply chopped off. In short, a large piece of flesh was missing from his mouth. This not only prevented him from closing his mouth, but also made his expression full of ridicule at all times.
But it's all a joke, now that Malus has formed an alliance with him, the war has become more complicated.
There must be a huge gap between the combat power of the Crooked Dragon King and the Dragon Prince. After all, even if they both know how to train dragons, their specializations are still completely different.
But the number of black dragons under his command is definitely much more than the dragons and phoenixes under the Dragon Prince combined.
Coupled with the Black Ark and other beast troops, the Dragon Prince may finally be able to win, but it will definitely cost a huge price, and the time it takes is completely unpredictable.
So Princess Belinda also said that they were very grateful to Khalida and Levi for their efforts, but there was no need to force it, and everything would be left to them.
After the battle is over, the Dragon Prince will personally send people to bring heavy gifts to express his gratitude to Khalida.
Having said that, Levi felt that it was unlikely that Khalida would just give up.
Things have developed to this point, how could Khalida retreat?
As expected, Khalida flatly rejected the other party's proposal, and she began to ask the priests under her to urge fleets from other directions to come for support.
At the same time, the generals were also asked to reorganize their battle formations. No matter how powerful Black Ark was, she would fight the opponent openly and openly.
Michaela replied truthfully, and Levi naturally insisted on standing on the same front as Khalida.
After first telling Donna not to act rashly, Levi directed the dragon turtles and summons to kill the approaching murlocs while thinking about where the chance of victory was.
The Black Ark is just a giant turtle with thorns. How could it be possible for a mortal to sink an island?
Have you been using Yangyan to clean the floor?
Not to mention how much time it will take, even if there is no black dragon on the opponent's black ark, there will definitely be at least flying monsters such as manticores.
And although the dark elves never use bows and arrows in order to distinguish themselves from the high elves, their armor-piercing repeating crossbows are not vegetarian.
Then he remembered the last war.
"Michaela, how did the Dragon Prince sink the Black Ark in the first place?"
"Well, Levi, I'm afraid we can't follow suit."
"Last time, the Dragon Prince invaded the core area of the Black Ark, and then the decisive battle between the two legends destroyed it, so it finally sank. But now."
She hasn't finished speaking yet, but anyone can understand what she means.
Let's not talk about how to get close. We don't have the powerful combat power to compare with the Dragon Prince, not even Khalida.
Things seemed to be in trouble again, and the size of Khalida's fleet was constantly decreasing.
Li Wei recalled everything that had happened from the beginning of the war to the present, and then he noticed something suspicious again.
"Khalida, how many sea dragons did your fleet kill?"
"One end, what's wrong?"
Khalida is a little confused. To be honest, she is still a little angry about this. The threat of these guys is really not low. Who would have thought that they would kill just one of them?
A smile from the bottom of his heart finally appeared on Levi's face: "Guess where the rest are?"
Cindy, who had just come back to rest, blinked: "Did you go back to Black Ark?"
"Yes, not only that, the opponent did not release any monsters such as Hydra or Abyss Kraken from the beginning to the end."
"Aside from using magic, the other party just pressed forward unhurriedly."
"On the one hand, they sit back and watch the sahuagin die, but on the other hand, they cherish their own troops very much and are not eager to fight us. What does this mean? I don't believe they don't know that the Dragon Prince has already dispatched."
At this time, not only Michaela and Sefa's smart eyes lit up, but Elegy also directly saw through the truth.
"It means they are probably guilty and want to scare us away!"
Sonia also intervened: "Maybe they just love soldiers, no, they love monsters as children, so they want to kill us all with just magic?"
But even she who spoke knew that this possibility was actually extremely low.
Not to mention that the dark elves have never had the option of mercy in their character. They also have another important identity, that is, they are slave owners who control the world.
Almost all dark elves only engage in occupations related to killing, while other farmers, workers, etc. are all held by slaves of various races.
If they are all killed with magic, who will mine for them?
So if possible, they won't do that.
After all impossibilities have been eliminated, no matter how unbelievable what remains, it must be the truth.
The interior of the Happy Forgotten Palace is probably very weak at the moment, which is why they are so unhurried.
The main power of the Black Ark is provided by the many mage towers inside it, followed by Hydra and other sea beasts, which can also provide certain pulling capabilities.
If the opponent is in a weak state and is seriously short of troops, it is probably not that they don't want to go fast, but that they simply cannot go fast!
While listening, Khalida's eyes gradually lit up, and Levi knew that she had made up her mind.
Because now, it is not just a matter of victory or defeat, it is also about the reputation of her and Lamia City!
Just at this time, the nearest fleet had sent a signal, saying that they were less than ten miles away.
This directly made her make a decision: "Okay, Levi, I trust your judgment. This time I will use my entire fleet to challenge the myth of the Black Ark!"
