Chapter 1675, each with a purpose
The flames reached the sky, as if to dye the entire sky the color of flames.
Billowing smoke fills the city.
At this time, the intensity of this smoke and dust is probably already to the point where it can be suffocated.
And it was in such a terrifying sea of fire that a burst of spell light suddenly lit up, and a dark elf mage scattered everywhere, maintaining a shield, and rushed out of the sea of fire with a large number of dark elf soldiers in the city.
Although the outer shield can isolate the direct damage of flames and explosions, the temperature is not.
The terrifying heat around them has made their shield like an oven, and if they stay here, even if they have the protection of the shield, they will probably be roasted to death by this high temperature.
Not daring to relax for a moment, the sweaty dark elf soldiers gritted their teeth and protected the dark elf mages who were holding up the shield and kept fleeing towards the sea of fire.
And it was during this period that in the sky, the airships that had completed the bomb dropping mission were attacked by the harpy, and three of them directly began to spontaneously combust and crash.
The remaining two ships had the intention to evacuate, but they couldn't escape the pursuit of a large number of harpies, and finally followed in the footsteps of the previous three airships and crashed on the way to evacuate.
This scene was painful to see Philip Albert in the rear.
Damn, that's all money, and it ended up being used up as a one-time consumable?!
The only thing that can give him comfort is probably the five airships, which can be regarded as having completed the bombing mission.
Let the fire burn for a while, and when the fire was slightly controlled, he ordered again, signaling his army to extinguish the fire, enter the city area, and launch a search and encirclement.
During this entire search process, they found nearly 400 charred corpses in fragments.
Those corpses, apparently burned beyond recognition under the terrifying heat of napalm, even some of their morphological features were burned.
From a distance, it looks like a black charcoal that leans towards a human form.
However, there are basically no humans in this city, only dark elves, so the identity of these corpses can be easily confirmed.
However, the number of casualties was clearly smaller than Philip Albert had expected.
But think about it from another angle, considering the strength of the dark elves, these more than four hundred dark elf soldiers are estimated to be two or three thousand troops comparable to the other races.
Of course, an algorithm like this is his approximate estimate, because if you want to make a detailed calculation, you first have to confirm the opponent's class, Dark Elf Mage, Dark Elf Crossbowman, Dark Elf Artillery, Dark Samurai, Black Knight, and a lot of other different troops, and the value of each class is actually different.
If you succeed in destroying the opponent's high-level troops, you will definitely make a lot of money.
But according to Philip Albert's idea, these more than 400 corpses are estimated to be the level of low-level miscellaneous soldiers.
In this way, his mood is actually quite delicate now.
But anyway, he took the city back......
With such positive thoughts in mind, Philip Albert's mood instantly became more subtle as he swept over the city that had been devastated by him with white phosphorus bombs and napalm bombs.
Anyway, when it comes to this point, what can he do besides continuing to march?
The army continued to advance, while the army of the dark elves, which had been attacked unilaterally, fought and retreated all the way.
After many battles with Philip Albert's army, the only city left behind them was the port city they had first captured.
On the way to retreat, Derk's face remained solemn.
At this moment, both of them actually knew each other's intentions.
Philip Albert wanted to inflict heavy damage on the Dark Elves on the front lines before Hydra arrived, paving the way for the battle to follow.
The Dark Elf army, on the other hand, wants to preserve its combat strength as much as possible before Hydra arrives, avoid fighting head-on with Philip Albert's army, and accumulate strength for the subsequent attack.
The actions of both sides with different goals have evolved into the current situation.
However, if they continue to retreat like this, they will be left with a port city, and they will soon have no way out.
At the same time, this port city, they must not give up.
Because of this expedition, most of their supplies were hoarded here, and then transported to the front line in batches.
If the port city is hit, their losses will be heavy.
Thinking of this, the idea of fighting two battles with the other party and rubbing the sharpness of the human army already rose in Deck's heart.
After all, you can't always let the other side do whatever you want, although this is a strategy, but fighting and retreating like this will still have a great impact on the morale of the army under his command, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the morale will be low, which is not conducive to the subsequent battle.
At this thought, Derk suddenly changed his strategy.
It was another morning, and the harpy screams of the harpy broke the peace around them.
Immediately after, circles of magic light continued to spread from afar.
Many soldiers haven't even woken up yet, and they have been put on two layers of negative buffs in a row, which makes people want to die for a person who was still half-asleep and half-awake before.
The vigilant troops on the periphery didn't have time to react at all, and this wave, the dark elf army, which had the advantage of aerial vision, undoubtedly grabbed the first-mover advantage.
The detection spells of the dark elf mages clearly showed the location of the opponent's troops, so at this moment, they didn't need to say anything at all, aiming at the location where the red light was strongest and densest, and the marauder ballistas roared.
The cannonballade with the light of the spell swept wildly towards the camp of the enemy human soldiers, and the astonishing destructive power that erupted continued to vent their anger these days.
The peripheral vigilance troops did not play a warning role at all, which made the human army directly caught off guard.
The Marauder Ballista is a rather terrifying weapon, every spell cannonball flies over, and at the moment of explosion, it will bring greater AOE damage than high-explosive shells, and at the same time, in this whole process, it will also come with a series of negative effects such as 'poisoning' and 'corrosion', which is enough to make people frightened.
After a series of shelling, considering the remaining number of magic crystals on the front line, Derk signaled the artillery troops to stop in time, and immediately after, a dark elf unit wearing black metal light armor, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, drew their swords and rushed towards the camp on the human side in a furious shouting of killing.
This unit is the front row of their Dark Elves, the Dark Warrior Force!
