Chapter 356: Assassination
The latest movements of the Women's Federation were quickly learned by Levi, because the number of troops of the Women's Federation was really large, and any of their actions could affect a corner of the battlefield, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to, but Levi didn't have the heart to continue to pay attention to the other party for the time being, because of the new challenges they encountered.
Probably because of their swift attack that attracted the attention of Musiron's side, Musillon sent a large number of dark cavalry and skeleton cavalry to counterattack Viscount Renard, and even sent a part of the skeleton cavalry and tomb warriors to snipe Levi and them directly from a gap in the city wall, and at the same time, some translucent, ghostly knights, mixed with the hordes of skeleton cavalry, launched an attack on them.
Even if Poseidon Knight Werner activated his battle magic to strengthen the defense at the first time, and the others behind did their best, the other party's charge still brought them considerable losses, because these skeleton cavalry, which looked very fragile, their damage was a little high, even better than ordinary third-order cavalry, it was really hard to imagine how their fragile bodies could burst out with such powerful combat power.
And the already very difficult ghost knight showed extraordinary combat effectiveness, forcing Levi to slow down the speed of his attack in the end, switch to a dense formation that is conducive to defense, and use skills such as flame enchantment to carry out targeted counterattacks, even if such a concentrated force will be more likely to be attacked by the opponent's siege machinery, but he has no better choice, because if he doesn't care about these ghost knights who come and go like the wind, their losses will be greater.
The only thing to be thankful for is that whether it is a skeleton cavalry or a ghost knight, they are only strengthened by attack power, and other aspects of defense and health are still within the normal range, and Levi can also be relatively relaxed. But if you don't find out why they have become stronger, it will be Levi's who will suffer in the end, because they will never be able to compete with the undead in numbers.
At this time, a series of exclamations suddenly sounded around Levi, he immediately turned his head to look over, and then he found that except for Ophini and Mina and others, most of the exclamations were his little brothers, and what they all had in common was that they all used spells.
Just when Levi was skeptical, he quickly noticed that he had a very disgusting negative status called magic disturbance, and he would have a 15% chance of having to spend an additional 10% mana when casting spells, a 5% chance of direct cast failure, and even his mana recovery rate was reduced by 20%.
No wonder even Orfini and Mina had to exclaim, if he was also casting a spell just now, he would definitely be unable to help but curse, this is a skill specifically for magicians!
"Bang!"
Just heard a muffled sound, an unlucky little brother unfortunately failed to cast a spell, in addition to losing mana in vain, this failed spell even blew himself up directly, losing a lot of health, but he could also pat his ass, scolded casually twice, and then got up again, and continued to prepare new magic. Even if he has a negative state, he can't just give up his magic!
"Orfini, what's going on?" At the critical moment, Levi looked at Ophini for the first time, although what she really specializes in is actually the soul battle aspect, but there is no way, who let him have a total of few mage units, and the other party's mother is the famous black lady, even from the perspective of family tradition, the knowledge of magic will always be much stronger than others.
Ofini frowned and thought for a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "Levi, this seems to be a special magic specifically for magicians in legends, which often uses dimensional stones as an energy source, whether it is a spellcaster or a war machine, the other party must not be too far from here." ”
Not far away?
Levi looked around, searching for all suspicious people and things, but he didn't find anything special for a while, because the battlefield here was too chaotic, and the big melee of dozens of races, even if he was well-informed and had an excellent memory, it was very difficult to distinguish them one by one, and finally identify the suspicious targets.
However, at the critical moment, Viscount Renard, who had been leading the knights not far away, inadvertently pointed him in the direction: "Attack, destroy those evil magic chariots!" ”
As Levi followed the prestige, he was surprised to find that the chariots that were blocking the gap in the city wall and seemed to have no special place suddenly flashed a dazzling green light, and then turned into a burst of black-green mist, quickly soaking into the dark knights and skeleton cavalry that passed by it and were reinforced from the rear.
Although from the outside, the undead cavalry that absorbed the black-green mist did not change at all, but Levi immediately understood why the attack power of those skeleton cavalry became so high, it must be the effect of these magic chariots, although he didn't know if the negative state on his body was also related to the other party, but it was always right to destroy them!
"Sienna, 43 degrees to the southeast, about ninety meters away, mortar ready!"
Although Sienna didn't know what Levi meant when he suddenly gave such an order, Sienna still responded to Levi's order as soon as possible, and she immediately let out a coquettish sigh and commanded the war fortress to start adjusting its direction.
The multi-ton mortar itself was too bulky to move, but she could move the wagon underneath to achieve a similar effect, and the war wagon base was invented for this purpose.
Soon the mortar roared and launched an attack, although the first two shots flew out of the target dozens of meters away because of the worrying hit rate of the mortar cannon, blowing up a skeleton and zombie or something, but the third mortar successfully hit the target, but the hardness and defense of the magic chariot were unexpectedly high, even if the cannonball hit it, it was only a loud sound of hard objects colliding, but it was not able to destroy it directly.
Then a series of curses came from behind the magic chariot, and the black magic cover rose from below, protecting the entire magic chariot, and the damage that the mortar cannon could do in the future suddenly became even lower.
But Levi was not discouraged in the slightest, but chuckled, because the enemy's action made him confirm the importance of these magic chariots, he didn't choose the wrong target, so continue to attack with all his might!
More fierce attacks poured towards the magic chariot, not only mortars, but even muskets, bows, and all kinds of magic, even if the magic chariot's magic shield is very powerful, its own defense is also very high, but it still can't withstand such a dense attack, and soon one of them was blasted into pieces, and Levi's little brother finally succeeded in using reconnaissance, so that they also learned part of the basic information of the other party.
It is a fairly rare 5th-order war machine in the undead - the corpse fire corpse car, it not only has strong defense of itself, but also can release special magic, in addition to strengthening the attack power of the undead for a short time, it can also disrupt the magic of nearby magic units, the negative state on Levi and Ofini and others before is caused by it, but this effect also has a disadvantage, that is, it does not distinguish between friend and foe, so around the corpse fire corpse car, There are also no necromancers or vampire mages.
Seeing that there were still so many undead gushing out of the gap in the wall in front of him, Levi knew that he couldn't wait any longer, he didn't want to be exhausted by the enemy here.
"Bloomes, Tanato, ready to join me"
Before Levi finished speaking, Chen Cone, a warrior monk who had been following him and Ophini beside him, as a personal guard, suddenly shouted, rushed directly to his side a few meters, and then kicked out a guy who was wearing a robe and couldn't see the race and appearance clearly, and then he started a close fight with the other party.
And unexpectedly, this mysterious person's skills are unusually agile, as a combat hero, Chen Cone was unable to effectively suppress the other party in a short period of time, which proves that the other party is at least a 5th-order unit, and may even be a combat hero!
The warrior monk Chen Cone forced the opponent back with a punch, and then he pounced on it fit, and at the same time warned Levi in vain: "My lord, please be careful, I feel that there are unknown enemies nearby!" ”
"And the enemy? Is it an illusion? Hiding from sight? Or the most troublesome stealth? ”
A series of questions quickly flashed through Levi's mind, and he immediately asked the Euric Teutonic guards to be on guard to protect their most important mage-type units, and the most important of them were Orfini, Mina, and several Sister Saria.
As for Sienna, although they are also very important, but she doesn't have to worry too much about Levi, after such a long time of commanding the battle, she has also grown rapidly, although she has not personally killed the enemy, but if anyone dares to underestimate her because of this, it will be a big loss.
And the bunch of Nunn ironclad army around her are also not vegetarians, not to mention that the dwarves who are the best at defense are also not far from her, except for a slight disagreement about the blood of the half-elves at the beginning, they have always gotten along very well with each other since then, if Sienna is in danger, whether it is Ironwood or Burke, they will definitely not sit idly by.
The next moment, dozens of tall, short, fat and thin guys in robes, almost all of them, burst out of the nearby ruins and shadows, and launched a sneak attack on Levi, his precious mage subordinates, and other younger brothers from the watcher.
There is no doubt that they all know which targets are most important to kill, and this combat method made Levi think of the identity of his opponent for the first time, they must all belong to the subordinates of other chosen heroes, otherwise even the undead who are cunning and despicable by nature, they are unlikely to use such a despicable assassination technique!
Although Levi's reminder had been given, a junior brother was killed by the enemy's attack on the spot, and several were seriously injured, but many of Levi's subordinates were already on guard, and their strength was stronger, so these despicable assassins were defeated one after another, and even the Nunn ironclad army under Sienna used muskets and swords together, and easily killed four or five sneak attackers, and also knocked over their cloaks and saw their true colors.
"This is the Dark Elf!"
"This is a Skaven!"
"Ah, there's a Night Goblin here!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, the identity of the other party really surprised them, no wonder although these assassins were wearing uniform robes, they were so different in height and other aspects, because they were not of the same race at all!
And Levi is also more and more sure of his judgment at this moment, except for the chosen heroes, I'm afraid that no aboriginal can easily command these soldiers belonging to different races, right?
Seeing that there are still assassins in the shadows nearby, taking advantage of the chaos of the battlefield to give their own sneak attack, although this behavior is of little use to Levi's own headquarters, but his younger brothers have suffered a lot of losses, even if these assassins will definitely be beaten to death once they appear, but they will also bring a lot of casualties to everyone before they die.
Levi thought quietly for a few seconds, and then he gave a new order: "Three thousand weak waters, pass the order, and let everyone release all the ambushing dragon beasts that they had subdued before." ”
The ambushing dragon beast is the group of beasts that Levi encountered on the way to Musilon before, when the dark elf beast bound a lot of them, and finally distributed them to Levi's younger brothers as a reward, although the combat power of those guys looks quite average on this battlefield, but in addition to their gluttony, they also have one of the biggest characteristics, that is, their sense of smell is very sensitive, and their movements are very agile, which is simply a natural nemesis of thieves and assassins!
"Yes, Boss, I see!"
Weak Water Sanqian also immediately remembered the characteristics of the Volcanic Dragon Beast, and immediately conveyed Levi's order very excitedly.
In fact, it's not to blame that they are too slow to react, but because they have used this type of troops except when they were novices at the beginning, and now that the scale of the battle is getting bigger and bigger, some assassin classes really don't play much role in the frontal battlefield, and they basically haven't encountered any similar enemies, so they are slightly negligent.
But with Levi's reminder, everyone released their own ambushing dragon beasts, although these two-meter-long beasts were very greedy, but they were still fierce beasts after all, and soon under the orders of their respective masters, they all pounced into the shadows, and then a series of fighting sounds came, they had obviously discovered those lurking assassins.
Many members of the Watchers Guild immediately followed closely and sent more subordinates, stepped forward to reinforce the ambush dragon beasts, and surrounded those assassins, but the commander of the other party was not stupid, with a few strange bird calls sounded, the assassins lurking in the shadows began to retreat, the other party's reaction was too fast, and there were also targeted troops, this planned large-scale assassination, just not long after the launch, had to be forced to stop, if they didn't leave, I'm afraid they would all be buried here.
Levi didn't let the younger brothers continue to pursue, because compared to the entire battlefield, their existing strength was not enough for them to act so recklessly.
He just gradually focused his gaze on the assassin who was still singled out with Chen Cone, but he had obviously fallen into the disadvantage, his chest was snorting and whirring like a bellows, and it was obvious that this was a big fish in front of him, he was definitely not an ordinary 5th-order unit!
