Chapter 463: Battle Stalemate

"Boom!"

Even the land that had been frozen in cold for countless years collapsed in an instant under such a powerful force, and large pieces of stone and ice shards scattered in all directions, smashing the surrounding Norscan pirates and swamp monsters all over their faces covered in blood, and at the same time, a shockwave visible to the naked eye also centered on the mammoth and quickly spread around.

Those guys who had been smashed lightly suddenly staggered to their feet as if they had drunk too much wine, but despite this, they were still trying to escape with frightened faces, because they had already anticipated what was about to happen!

But the mad mammoth didn't give them this chance, and after trampling to death the many Norscar pirates who had fallen from its back because of the human standing, the mammoth then began to wave its pair of fangs, which were several meters long and had many twisted barbs on them, and launched an indiscriminate attack on all the creatures around it like a bulldozer, especially those with its blood stuck to them, and it was its highest priority!

Levi hadn't noticed it at first, as he was busy charging forward, busy fighting the oncoming Norscan Marauders.

The Emperor had personally led the half-griffin cavalry to open the way in front and killed many various units on the Norscan side, but Levi had ordered them to make a detour from both sides in order to avoid too many troop losses, so he didn't have too many allies around him now.

These Norscar pirate raiders seem to think this is a good opportunity, or maybe they see his identity as a chosen hero and think that he is a bully, so they take the initiative to find fault.

Of course, these cavalry units, which are no more than the 4th rank and do not even have a chain mail in pursuit of speed, are not Levi's enemies at all, and their behavior is more like moths to a fire, just rushing to the door to send experience to Levi.

But as the movement behind him became bigger and bigger, he couldn't help but look back, and then he found that the mammoth was trampling around like crazy, and because he had wittily transferred the cavalry troops to the left and right sides in advance, deliberately avoiding each other, so most of the unlucky ones now are from the Norscar pirates, and none of his younger brothers were injured because of this, which was an unexpected surprise.

However, the only fly in the ointment is that some of the empire's cavalry units and some of the troops of God's chosen heroes have also been separated, and they are slightly out of touch with the emperor's main force, but the problem is not too big, they are cavalry units after all, and they will be able to get out sooner or later.

Soon Huames and the others also brought the cavalry troops to reunite with Levi, and as soon as they met, Huames shouted with a little excitement, "Levi, what did you do, why did that long-haired elephant look so angry?" ”

It was the first time she had encountered such a huge monster. Compared with the mammoth, the previous barbarian giants, big spiders and the like, both in size and might, were much worse, so she was inevitably a little excited, because she would probably have the opportunity to fight such a monster in person next!

Levi casually cut down two Norsca Marauders who were overwhelmed and rushed over to try to challenge him, and then replied with a smile, "Haha, I just gave it a hard time, but I promise that I never did anything else to it, probably because its personality is naturally more irritable, right?" ”

The more Levi thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, because compared to other 6th-order monsters, the mammoth monster was almost invulnerable in terms of attack and defense and health in addition to being not very flexible, and when he approached just now, Levi also received a system prompt, saying that the morale value was reduced by 2 points due to the fright effect of a powerful enemy, and if you look at it from the performance alone, this guy is so strong that it is a bit of a foul.

But it still belongs to the 6th class, and it is on the same level as the Savage Giant or something, which means that it still has obvious weaknesses, such as taking a certain amount of damage, it will fall into a state of madness, so as to attack enemies and allies indiscriminately!

However, even if it knew this possible weakness of the other party, the mammoth was not so easy to deal with, and it had been attacked by so many griffon knights before, coupled with a heavy blow from Levi, which finally caused it to fall into a state of madness.

Levi suspects that the trigger condition for this weakness is likely to be less than 30% or several percent of its health, and then it will fall into this state, in short, this threshold is definitely not so easy to reach!

After continuing to charge for a few more minutes, more and more Imperial troops were scattered across the vast battlefield under the obstruction of many Norscan pirate troops, but the emperor's vanguard troops did not stop at all, and seemed to have made up their minds to rush straight into the enemy line at any cost, and preventing more Norscan pirates from landing was the top priority.

Of course, Levi also understands this, but he is not as big as the emperor, so he tries to gather his troops as much as possible on the way forward, so as not to let them be too scattered, although now there are almost all the troops on both sides of the melee behind him, as long as he is not unlucky to run into the two mammoths, the danger is actually not so great, but he does not want to take this risk.

However, he soon noticed that the speed in front of him seemed to be gradually slowing down, and it was obvious that a new situation was emerging, so he simply ordered the troops to start to speed up, gradually passing the many Imperial knights, and then he found that the many half-griffin knights in front of him had slowly stopped, as if waiting for the Emperor's latest order.

Levi leaned in, and then he understood why they were doing it.

Although the battle line was now very long, and in the snow several thousand meters behind them, there were troops on both sides fighting each other, but two hundred meters away, a large ship with a length of more than forty meters, there was a steady stream of swamp monsters and human skin wolves walking down, and on the shore, some Norsca pirates who looked very elite were facing them in a neat defensive formation, looking prepared.

Pope Sigmar's attack affected some of the Norscan pirate ships, but the number of ships he brought with him was small, and some of the Norscar pirates managed to land.

And more importantly, in addition to some infantry units armed with spears and halberds that specialize in restraining cavalry, there are also some Norska pirates who have a wide shield in their hands, and they can't even use them flexibly, but just stand them on the ground!

Such a defensive formation looks like some hedgehogs covered in thorns, which makes people unable to speak, no wonder even the emperor who bravely took the lead in the charge before couldn't help but stop at this moment.

Although the half-griffin knights are a Tier 6 class, they are not like war monsters such as mammoths and savage giants, and they have the ability to fight against thousands of troops on their own, which is probably the biggest difference between humanoid troops and giant beast units. Compared to other races, the advantage of the Humanoid Tier 6 is that they are more numerous, not more combative.

Seeing Levi and Reinhardt arriving one after another, the emperor nodded slightly, but the war was critical, and he didn't mean to talk to him, but continued to listen to the report of the chief of the imperial guard.

"Your Majesty, in addition to this, there are several heroic units among the enemy, and the leader is undoubtedly a Norscar pirate chieftain, but there is also a giant werewolf beside him, a swamp demon caessayer, and a legendary dragon demon."

In the end, even the chief of the imperial guard, who is a legendary hero, not only has a serious expression.

"The legendary dragon demon?"

Even if Levi hadn't seen them at all, he could roughly guess from their names alone, but it was the first time he had heard of the word dragon demon, but he soon found a suspicious target in the corner of the battlefield.

At first glance, the other party looks like a combination of a centaur and a large lizard, but the size is several times larger. But after a closer look, Levi found that the other party and the centaur are still very different, the most important thing is not the pair of sharp bull horns on the opponent's head, but the palm-sized scales covered by the opponent's body, just the slightest electric light flashing on it, telling everyone that not only is its defense power definitely not too low, but it also seems to have the power of thunder and lightning!

As for the body size of more than four meters tall, with a head and tail of six or seven meters, it didn't surprise Levi in any way, because this guy was obviously a giant beast unit, and it was normal to have this size.

As if to further strengthen the opponent's combat effectiveness, this creature known as the Dragon Demon is still wearing shoddy armor in key locations such as the waist, crotch and heart, but it looks very thick and has quite strong defensive power. Coupled with the giant mace in the opponent's hand, which is thicker than an adult's arm and at least six or seven meters long, all this seems to show that this powerful creature is extremely dangerous!

Levi immediately felt a little troubled, no wonder the emperor who led hundreds of half-griffin knights had to stop for a while and consider the strategy of fighting, because if he rushed forward blindly, not only would his most valuable half-griffin knights suffer heavy casualties, but I am afraid that they would not be able to achieve much success at all!

At this time, the chief of the guard continued, "Your Majesty, Master Walkmar is commanding the fleet to fight, and Byrshazar is fighting against the Frost Demon Dragon, although I can be responsible for dealing with that Dragon Demon, but the other hero units... ”

The chief of the imperial guard was about to speak, but it was clear that he was suggesting that the emperor would retreat for the time being, and then wait for a better moment.

In order to complete the sniper mission as soon as possible, the emperor wanted to prevent more Norscan pirates from continuing to land, so he took the lead in leading the cavalry brigade to charge, directly cutting through the formation of the Norsca troops and successfully reaching the shore.

But this is not without a price, that is, there are not many troops behind him now, especially the various heroic units, and only the two of them are there, and the others are scattered to the battlefield behind them one after another on the way to charge.

Although these Norsca pirates seem to be very unorganized and undisciplined, even the chief of the imperial guard has to admit that the combat effectiveness of these enemies, especially those monster units, is really strong, and the imperial troops that are left behind are not voluntary, they are all desperately entangled by the enemy, and they can't even get out quickly!

Levi on the other side looked back left and right, and then he was surprised to find that not only the aborigines, but even the Chosen Heroes had fallen into the same situation, and now the Chosen Heroes who could continue to follow the emperor were the only ones himself!

Emperor Karl took a deep breath, he knew he had to make a decision.

If he retreats at this time, with the strong combat power of the half-griffin knights, he can still safely return to the place where the large army is, but he will have to face the attack of these elite Norscan pirates with mammoths later, maybe they will still be able to kill and wound a large number of Norscan pirates, but I am afraid that soon they will have to retreat back to the capital of the Nord Lord, relying on the walls to fight each other.

Although it was only a short stagger, he had already personally verified the Mammoth's combat effectiveness, even if he hadn't tried it, he knew that ordinary spearmen and halberders that were very effective against cavalry were of little effect on the other side, and they either used a large number of war machines to kill the opponent on the way forward, or relied on the city wall to defend.

Of course, the best option is to completely sink the ships that the Norskar pirates have stolen from the Kithries, and let the mammoths all fall into the icy talon sea, and let the sea kill them!

Emperor Karl glanced around, pausing slightly as his gaze passed over Levi's, and then continued to look over, and finally, he made his own decision, a decision that he might have to pay a terrible price for, even his life.

"I'm going to lead the half-griffin knights straight to that Norscar pirate chieftain, Levi, Reinhardt, can I trust you?"

The Emperor looked at Levi with blazing eyes, and Levi immediately stepped forward, "Of course, Your Majesty, you can trust me, I am willing to lead the team with Reinhardt to face that giant werewolf." ”

In fact, he had already made plans just now, but the emperor hadn't made a final decision yet, so he didn't speak, in case the emperor decided to retreat, then he also said that he was going to fight werewolves or something, didn't he directly hit the emperor in the face? So he waited for the emperor to finish speaking, and then he immediately followed.

As for why he chose the Giant Werewolf instead of the Swamp Demon Plague Envoy, it was actually quite simple, because he didn't know anything about the Swamp Demon Disaster Envoy.

All the swamp monsters that have appeared before are all warrior types without exception, he doesn't want to challenge enemies without any intelligence, and the giant werewolf is undoubtedly a powerful version of the human skin wolf, no matter how strong it is, many aspects of it will not get out of Levi's control too much, they have killed hundreds of wolf skin people in this time, and they are somewhat sure of dealing with it.

The Emperor nodded slightly, "Very good, then I will work hard for you." ”

In fact, the Emperor originally planned to let Reinhardt and the Pioneer Attendants go to attract the attention of the Swamp Demon Plague for the time being, and then wait for the other parties to settle the battle, and finally everyone will clean it up together.

It's just that Reinhardt is a woman after all, and he is still a little difficult to speak for a while, because if you think about it, you can know that trying to delay a hero-level unit that looks like a mage type with the 4th order pioneer horsemen will definitely not lose too little, but I didn't expect Levi to directly bring her with her, and it seems that the relationship between the two of them is even deeper than he imagined.

Just when Emperor Karl was about to divide a part of his half-griffin knights to temporarily contain the swamp demon disaster envoy, a rough male voice suddenly came from the cedar forest next to him, "Your Majesty, I, Marcus, am here!" ”
