Chapter 354: A Scorching Battle
Although they didn't say it, whether it was Levi or Orfini, they could see Davi's thoughts, and the other party was really not a person who was good at covering up his thoughts.
Ophini was a little embarrassed, and she felt as if she shouldn't have said that, because she didn't seem to know enough about certain things. Although I don't know why, what she said seems to have hit the other party very hard...
Levi sighed, he stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder: "Davi, if I have the opportunity, I can take you to the Gray Mountains with me to avenge your former comrades-in-arms with my own hands." ”
He didn't know which Hippogriff or the Vulture had killed Davey's teammates, but that was the only thing he could do.
And it's not entirely for David, in fact, he has already had similar thoughts before, as the strength of the army increases, he thinks he can try to go to the gray mountains and collect some information about the Lich Master, even if he can't kill the other party now, it is good to find the way first.
"Your Excellency..." Dawei looked at Levi with some emotion, but he didn't know what to say for a while, he was not a person who was good at expressing himself in words, he was more accustomed to showing his loyalty with practical actions.
Although the other party didn't say anything, the information prompted by the system told Levi that he had triggered a unique job transfer mission, and once the mission was successful, Levi would have a Horned Eagle Beast Knight, but the difficulty of the mission was also not too low.
It requires Davy to challenge and defeat a real Hippogriff first, and deal more than 65% damage to it, and more importantly, in the entire battle, including Davi himself, no more than three people can attack, otherwise the proud Hippogriff will not accept the challenge.
Although according to the system's prompts, the minimum strength of the Horned Hipprypoon is the strength of the 5th order elite, but the difficulty of this task is not to defeat it, I believe that as long as you send any two people such as Tanato, Huames, and Aeus, one of them brings the Epoch Acorn, it is enough to defeat the Horned Hippriff Beast relatively easily, and the most difficult part of the task is how to make Dawei deal 65% damage.
Levi thought about it, in addition to trying to improve Dawei's strength, he could only work hard to assist him in the battle, and bring the Era Acorn Fruit to help him absorb damage...
At this moment, a dazzling white ball with a diameter of several meters flew from behind and headed towards the swamp again, only this time the many necromancers and vampire mages in Musilon City looked left and right a few times, but they didn't dare to make another move.
Before, they used magic to attack, but I don't know what special reaction was triggered, which directly turned a large area in front of Mu Xilong into a plain, and those swamps created by magic rituals were directly purified by the other party's magic, and a large number of undead were killed by a single blow.
Although everyone didn't pay much attention to it at first, after all, they were all cannon fodder, but soon some necromancers discovered that those low-level undead were now completely gone, and even if they wanted to use magic to evoke them again, they couldn't do anything at all.
But just look at it and let the other party use magic to purify the swamp? If you come here dozens of times, the swamp outside Musilon will probably disappear completely, and then those knights will be able to rush directly under the city wall, which will be a serious disadvantage for them to defend the city...
The Red Duke had apparently noticed this, but he was a little powerless for a while, because this swamp had been finally completed by sending necromancers and vampire mages to set up a large number of magic arrays, and using blood sacrifices and the magic recorded in the nine volumes of Nagash.
If he relied on his own strength alone, even if he increased his mana by three or five times, he wouldn't be able to do it at all!
The Red Duke turned to look at the Lich Master, "Heinrich, can you?"
But before the Red Duke could finish speaking, the Lich Master had already waved his hand gently, "Red Duke, I am concentrating on controlling the zombie dragon, and there are other undead creatures fighting against the enemy Vulture Knights and Pegasus Knights, and I have no extra strength. Moreover, don't you still have so many cannon fodder troops, just let them out and attack them. ”
As he spoke, the Lich Master coughed twice while pretending, saying that he was actually really weak, but this could only make the Red Duke hate itchy, a hundred-year-old necromancer, a famous Lich Master, even if you pretend to be like this, no one will believe that you are really weak!
However, this is not a solution, if the Lich Master can deal with those flying cavalry troops in mid-air, and he can ensure that the city gate is not lost, and those knights can't rush in, then the other party can't do anything about it.
The most powerful of the knight kingdoms are undoubtedly their knights, and even if those ordinary warriors climb the city walls, they will not be the opponents of their own undead army. Moreover, such a large number of casualties will definitely further catalyze the hidden magic circle that he has arranged, and after the ceremony is successful, whether it is to continue to fight or transfer directly, he has more choices...
Thinking of this, the Red Duke immediately no longer hesitated: "Immediately let all those Chosen Heroes participate in the battle." In addition, release the four legions of life-seeking walking corpses, blood beasts, gravediggers, and stone mound wraiths, and I will let the blood of these humans be sprinkled on every inch of the soil under Musilon City! ”
With the order of the Red Duke, there were suddenly more troops belonging to several races on the walls of Musilon, including greenskins, goblins, Skaven rat people, dark elves, etc., and even some humans with strong bodies and simple armor, which had plagued the ice and snow country Kislev for a long time, and recently began to gradually invade the forces along the coast of the knight kingdom - the Norsca pirates. Somehow, they managed to get into the city of Musilon.
And under the city, some hidden side doors were also opened, and then a group of elite zombies, dire wolves, and desolate tomb warriors poured out like a tide, and there were some translucent resentful spirits holding scythes in mid-air, condescendingly pounced, and attacked the soldiers on the side of the coalition army, and many of the troops of the Chosen Heroes were the first to be attacked.
As for the new undead troops, they didn't care about it at first, but they just put the focus of defense on the hostile forces and players who poured attacks on the city walls, as well as those resentful spirits in mid-air, because the Chosen Heroes who stayed a little longer in Musilon knew that although these third-order resentful spirits seemed to disperse as soon as the wind blew, and the upper limit of their health was very low, even inferior to most of the second-order troops, in fact, the combat power they could exert was still very strong.
Because their attacks are not ordinary physical attacks, but magical attacks that ignore most defenses, although the attack power is not too high, but their attacks are also very difficult to defend, for many classes with basically zero magic defense, they can take away how much health they can take away with a scythe.
Coupled with the fact that they come and go like the wind, their attack speed and movement speed are very fast, but their counterattacks are almost ineffective against them who can fly low and have physical damage reduction skills, which is the most difficult part of them!
Therefore, many Chosen Heroes have used their own means, some use skills, some use scrolls, and some use magic items, all to strengthen their own magical defense, and even some of the more wealthy Chosen Heroes have gradually begun to apply similar enchantment effects such as flame enchantment and light weapons to their troops, because these skills can effectively damage enemies like resentful spirits.
As for the zombies or something, although they seem to be better equipped, they don't pay much attention to it, because zombies and skeleton soldiers are really synonymous with cannon fodder among the undead, and they don't think they can be much of a threat.
But soon they paid the price for their carelessness, these undead who were named by the Red Duke himself were not those ordinary cannon fodder troops, they were all elite undead summoned by the Red Duke using the power of the nine volumes of Nagash!
Almost as soon as they encountered, the many zombies in the Legion of the Dead-Seeking Corpse left a deep impression on the chosen heroes who despised them with their fierce attacks, and the soldiers at the forefront fell down in a lot of way almost instantly, like wheat that had been cut off, causing a series of exclamations in an instant.
"Damn, what's going on?"
"When did the cannon fodder become so fierce? I'm a Tier 3 troop, huh? ”
"Damn, do you see, these zombies are still playing with sword flowers?"
"Nima, these red dire wolves are not ordinary dire wolves!"
"Those Tomb Warriors are so strong!"
The commotion on the front line was soon known to Levi and others in the rear, because one of his younger brothers had just been very unfortunate enough to be attacked by the Tomb Warrior and the Wraith, and he was directly wiped out by the regiment in barely two minutes, if it weren't for the fact that Doomsday made it possible to set up a resurrection point on the ship, and the place where it docked was also very close to the battlefield here, Levi probably didn't know how long it would be before he could see him again.
And the troops of the other younger brothers also had their own damage, especially Brother Yuan, who used the Skaven as cannon fodder and had the lowest quality of troops, and the number of troops fell even more precipitously, which frightened him to the rear one after another for help.
However, fortunately, Duke Bohammond and others also noticed the situation there, whether it was for the victory of the battle, or to prevent the many Chosen Heroes from retreating in large numbers again as before, they had to take action immediately.
Viscount Renard of the Dukedom of Artois personally led a group of knights of the kingdom to attack, and behind them were more ranger knights, these cavalry units of the lowest rank 4, rushed into the battlefield with the sound of howling wind and deafening horses' hooves, setting off a storm of killing.
The undead, who were difficult for ordinary Chosen Heroes to deal with, were so vulnerable to their charge, and the spear with a unique shape in his hand was even more eye-catching.
Compared with the cavalry spear used by ordinary knights, his weapon has a large and wide spear head, and there is a metal baffle less than a foot behind the gun head, which seems to be a little redundant, but after Levi observed it a little, he found that this special weapon is still somewhat useful, and the baffle can be very effective in preventing the spear head from piercing the enemy's body too deep and not being able to recover it, this spear may not be very effective when dealing with ordinary human enemies, But when facing some tall giant monsters, there is bound to be an extra effect.
Viscount Renard's personal charge saved the situation to a certain extent, allowing many of the Chosen Heroes to temporarily gain a foothold, and with the continuous reinforcements of the Aboriginal coalition forces behind them, they finally began to try to fight back.
Although these undead with unique shapes are powerful, they are not too many after all, so it would be better to leave them all to the aborigines to deal with, and it would be good to pick some soft persimmons and pinch them yourself?
Viscount Renard, after several charges, failed to approach the walls, because the undead of Musilon paid extra attention to knights like him, who had not been stingy with magic and arrows, and even in the end, even the crossbows and trebuchets on the walls were aimed at him, and they didn't care at all about what was wrong or not.
Even if the ordinary undead are killed, as long as they are not purified by magic, their broken bodies can still be re-driven by necromantic magic, and if they can kill Viscount Renard, then they may have an extra powerful kindred.
Exchanging a bunch of cannon fodder for a powerful elite, maybe other races still need to measure whether it is worth it, but for the undead, there is no need to think about it, because they have never lacked cannon fodder, they just lack elites!
So Viscount Renard also had to retreat. Although he was also a well-known figure in his dukedom, he was only an expeditionary knight after all, not the Holy Grail Knight of the dragon among those people, and if he was really hit by a catapult a few times, even if he didn't die, he didn't have much to do with this battle.
And there is another point, Musilon's city gate has not been breached until now, and even most of the farmers who are responsible for pushing siege equipment can't get close to the city wall, and they will all be killed by the opponent's long-range attack, even if he can rush under the city wall, he has no way to take the other party at all, his war horse is just an elf war horse, it can't fly!
So he could only retreat temporarily. However, in addition to stabilizing morale, this charge is not without other results, at least he has found out that those new zombies and tomb warriors or something, they really show a certain degree of martial arts, although in his opinion it is still very rude, but with the characteristics and brute strength of the undead, it really has a very strong threat to ordinary soldiers, and it must be reported to the Duke as soon as possible!
At the same time, Levi had just finished listening to the report of his little brother who was so unfortunate enough to be beaten to death, and was discussing the matter with Ophini.
"There is no doubt that this must also be the power of the Nagash Nine Volumes. Ordinary necromancers in the old world only use the power of magic to forcibly drive the corpses to fight for themselves, so unless it is a high-level undead with self-awareness such as vampires, there is always a limit to the undead they can control at the same time. ”
"But the Tomb King's classes are completely different, they are to recall the souls of the dead back to the body, such undead often still have some residual consciousness from the previous life, not only are they more powerful in combat, but the burden of necromancers is also smaller, which means that they can control more undead at the same time."
Speaking of Ophini's face was full of heaviness, although she had never mastered any evil necromancy, but for their harm, how could she not understand, the undead can be called the enemy of all the living, although they belong to the chaos camp, but because of their characteristics, they are not friendly at all with the green skins and dark elves who are also in the chaos camp.
Levi nodded, signaling that he understood, and then he continued to send some of his troops to the battlefield on the front line.
The intensity of this battle has exceeded his imagination.
He originally thought that the two sides would first go to the cannon fodder troops to consume each other for a few days as usual, and then go to the main force for a decisive battle, and he and others could also take this opportunity to harvest some merits, but who would have thought that the Duke of Bohammond would be so strong, and he would make a big move when he came up, and directly purified the swamp.
And it didn't stop until now, every few minutes, a large ball of light flew from behind and fell into the swamp, further purifying the swamp and the undead in it, and it didn't matter whether they used the farmer to add soil to the enemy army in the first place, or for some other reason.
The battle between the Pegasus Knights and the Vulture Knights in mid-air has not stopped, and now the ground is full of all kinds of corpses and messy feathers, and their size has been reduced by half, but they still have no intention of flinching, Levi is absolutely convinced, even for the Duke of Bohammond himself, they are quite rare combat power, does he want to finish the battle?
But if the Pegasus Knight dies of everything, but the opponent's zombie dragon does not die, so that the opponent has air supremacy, then the battle has already been lost by a third, and ordinary arrows and muskets have no effect on the zombie dragon at all.
And based on the tradition of the Knight Kingdom, the aborigines on the coalition side did not carry any cannons, those low-quality ballistas and catapults or something, it is good to fight the low-level undead gathered together, but for the zombie dragon that can fly and has extremely strong defense, let alone whether it can be hit or not, even if it really happens to hit it, it is difficult to cause effective damage to it.
As far as the strength it has shown so far, it is even more powerful than the big spider that Levi and the others have killed, if it is not a 7th-order creature, it is at least the strength of a 6th-order elite!
Seeing that another big white ball came from behind, while purifying a large area of magic swamp, it also killed a lot of undead incidentally, and the coalition forces within the range did not suffer any damage, but were temporarily attached to a blessing that lasted for dozens of seconds, which can improve the resistance to negative states, Levi knew that the lake gods and prophets had become more and more proficient in the control of this magic, and he finally made up his mind.
"Sienna, take the long-range troops to carry out covering shooting, and eliminate those special undead at a fixed point, Sky Lone Star, you are responsible for taking a part of the brethren to cover the advance of the siege engine, the Women's Federation has just sent a message, saying that it is a mission with a very good reward, and I will ask Orfini to give you some more soul shame, but you must also be careful not to work too hard. And all the rest of us will push forward with all our might. ”
After the battle so far, everyone's troops have been damaged to varying degrees, and those low-strength Skaven rats are almost all dead, and Levi can only send out his soul shame to replenish everyone's strength.
"Yes, Boss, I see." Sky Lone Star immediately received the order and strode away, although it must be very dangerous to cover the advance of the siege engine, but even the boss said that it was a good task, and the reward must be indispensable, it is much better than staying with many players to rob monsters!
