Chapter 428: Raven Father Marago
The fierce battle continued, and although a large number of Beastmen fell every moment, their numbers seemed to be endless, converging from all directions, while the Imperial army was limited, and they were dwindling at a rate visible to the naked eye.
There are even some small warships that have gradually begun to resist the attacks of the monsters on the water, and it is not uncommon for the entire ship of soldiers to be killed in battle, or simply scuttled through the bottom of the ship and sunk into the river, which is very unfavorable to the Empire on the whole.
Therefore, although the Beastmen side had to endure the constant bombardment of various war machines and the indiscriminate bombardment of various magic on the way to attack, they still barely maintained their morale and continued to attack.
But as the battle continued, Levi felt a little strange, because on the surface, many troops on the Empire's side looked precarious, as if the beastmen could break through their defensive lines as long as they worked harder, but in times of crisis, they could always grit their teeth and support the past.
If this kind of thing happens once or twice, it is called a coincidence, it is called an accident, and it is a small probability event. But since the battle began, Levi has seen it with his own eyes at least dozens of times, and this is not a simple coincidence!
Moreover, the high-level units of the beastmen, such as the Minotaur and the Razorbeast cavalry, were all firmly contained by those cavalry units, and the legendary half-griffin cavalry never appeared, which made Levi more and more strange the more he thought about it, and finally he couldn't help but have a rather bold idea.
That's the scene now, no matter how you look at it, it looks a bit like fishing?
No, to be more precise, it's like slowly cutting and bleeding the beastmen with a blunt knife, they seem to have the upper hand on the surface, but in the face of the fierce firepower of the Empire, often when an Imperial soldier dies, there are at least five or even ten times more Beastmen as a burial!
Looking at the flagship guarded by many warships in the middle, the emperor himself and the two powerful heroes of the empire for a long time seem to have no unusual emotions, and they are still so calm and commanding the battle, and they seem to be very confident...
Thinking of this, Levi continued to command the troops to resist the tide of beast people, and began to slowly adjust the formation and direction of the troops, and began to move closer to the direction where the emperor's main formation was located, and with their strong strength, they soon got a pretty good position, the straight-line distance from the emperor's flagship was only about 1 kilometer, although the pressure they had to bear here was also greater, but no matter what happened, they could definitely react immediately.
After arranging the defensive formation, Levi nodded with satisfaction, the next thing was to harvest the lives of the beastmen, and quietly wait for the moment when the battle would turn around, and he already had a hunch that this situation would not last long.
It's just that not everyone present has Levi's such insight, those Beastmen's Chosen Heroes are just happy with their rapidly rising experience points and merits, and in their opinion, the Emperor's dog life is close at hand, if they can kill him with their own hands, if nothing else, the massive feats alone are enough for them to recruit several Beastman hero units!
At this time, those savage giants, as well as the two cyclops, were also under the cover of a large number of beastmen cannon fodder, passed through the rain of bullets and successfully approached.
The ordinary savage giant stopped in place, and the two cyclops who had been noticed by Levi before bent down one after another and grabbed the dirt on the ground, and then in Levi's slightly shocked gaze, the earthy yellow light flickered, and the originally loose soil turned directly into a solid stone with a diameter of one meter, and the two cyclops actually had the power to master the earth element.
And as they roared and raised the boulder in their hands, Levi knew immediately what was going to happen.
Sure enough, with the screaming of the air, the two cyclops exerted their strength and threw the stones in their hands hundreds of meters, and the target was the emperor's flagship!
Even the emperor, who was originally calmly commanding, as well as his two generals, one on the left and one on the right, couldn't help but change color slightly, and the light of the three fighting spirits instantly shone brightly, obviously they all knew that they were powerful.
Although the Cyclops' attacks didn't seem to be very accurate, and their first attack failed to hit the Emperor's flagship, instead knocking over the fishmen and Naga in the water, everyone knew that if they were allowed to continue their attacks, it would only be a matter of time before they succeeded.
No one thought that they had never been known for their long-range troops, at most there were some Centaur Flying Axemen and Centaur Spearmen as the main force of long-range beastmen, and this time they actually created such a powerful ranged troops, looking at the power of their previous attacks, they were at least 6th order troops, and they were almost 100% sure that they were much stronger than ordinary savage giants!
Dense magical brilliance flashed out, forming magical shields large and small, hanging over the emperor's flagship, trying to fend off the cyclops' stone-throwing attacks. And the Sword of Judgment standing in front of the Emperor, the legendary flag bearer, who is also the chief of the Emperor's Imperial Guard, Ludwig, couldn't help but look at the Lord to whom he was loyal, "Your Majesty, do we want it?" ”
While asking, his expression was still as serious as ever, not because of the battle in front of him, they had expected it, seriousness was just his personal habit, even in the grand palace banquets, he was the same.
His personality has caused him to offend too many powerful people, but he has never changed his mind, because he is loyal to the emperor of the empire, Karl, and he only needs to do so!
But Emperor Karl shook his head slightly, "No, Ludwig, it's not time yet, although the other party has dispatched such a huge force now, these elite troops, and a large number of Beastmen Chosen Heroes have participated in the battle, but the real messenger behind this has not yet appeared, and we still need to wait." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The chief of the guard saluted respectfully, and then continued to maintain the line, the reason why he made the suggestion was only to better protect the emperor's safety, but if the emperor had his own plans, he would only maintain absolute obedience.
But Generalissimo Heihlberg on the other side couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha, Ludwig, Your Majesty is so wise, naturally has his own strategy, that's not something that people like you can guess, don't make your own opinions, ruin Your Majesty's big things!" ”
Although the generalissimo seemed to be patting on the back, he was actually belittling the captain of the guard, but the chief of the guard just snorted and did not make any rebuttal, I don't know if he thought what the other party said was indeed reasonable, or he was too lazy to distinguish it from the other party.
Seeing that the chief of the guard did not refute himself, the generalissimo suddenly burst into joy, his eyebrows fluttered, and even the strength in his hand increased a little, and he accidentally split out a sword qi of more than ten meters, directly dividing the bodies of dozens of Naga and fishmen.
At this time, the silent chief of the guard suddenly spoke: "Hellberg, pay attention to your proportions, and don't affect Your Majesty's decision-making because of your recklessness." ”
As Levi guessed, their previous countermeasure was to show weakness to the enemy, but if the generalissimo suddenly killed all sides, it would be inconsistent with His Majesty's countermeasures, so the chief of the guard had to remind the other party that he could guarantee that he was definitely not in retaliation for the other party's insulting remarks just now.
"What? You! The generalissimo suddenly blew his beard and glared, but he didn't expect that it was not even a minute, and he was actually found back by the other party, this guy is really as hateful as ever!
Seeing that a small dispute was about to set off, Emperor Karl next to him couldn't help but make a round, "Okay, pass the order, let them get ready, I think the key person on the other side is about to appear." ”
In the face of the personal mediation of His Majesty the Emperor, even the chief of the guard and the generalissimo had to let go of all the dissatisfaction in their hearts, and whispered that although they had contradictions with each other, they must not delay His Majesty's major affairs, this is the largest military activity taken by His Majesty after succeeding to the throne, and they have also made a long plan for this, and they must succeed once!
Looking at the two people who obeyed the order, His Majesty the Emperor also had a little helplessness in his heart, as his right-hand man, although he was equally loyal, but the difference in their personalities was too great, one was the sword of judgment that was strict with himself, the sword of justice, for himself to offend anyone, and the other was the most famous old pervert in the entire Rick Collar, and the two were born with incompatible attributes.
What's more, as the top warriors of the empire, the two of them whose strength is also very close to each other, always have the idea of separating a winner and loser, a fair duel is nothing, but in order to take care of the other party's face, but also to avoid being entangled by the other party in the future, and deliberately lost the game and was recognized, the generalissimo became particularly angry, he thought that he had been insulted, and since then he has become a person who wants to damage the other party at any time, trying to take revenge.
Once or twice, the chief of the guard will endure it, but after a long time, everyone has anger, and the chief of the guard will occasionally fight back, but this makes the generalissimo more interested.
In his words, it is the sandbag that will only be beaten, and the opponent who will fight back!
In the face of such a situation, even as an emperor, he doesn't have a good way, but fortunately, these two guys are very measured, know what is the right thing, and are absolutely obedient and loyal to themselves, otherwise his head will become bigger...
At this moment, almost all the minotaurs on the battlefield stopped their movements, and let out a terrible roar from the sky, and a small patch of gray-black smoke drifted from the sky with the call of the voice, and as the other party approached quickly, everyone realized that it was not a simple smoke, but countless birds with sharp teeth.
In the middle of the flock of birds, there is a beastman holding a staff and dressed as a screaming shaman, but the most eye-catching thing is its back, which is a pair of huge wings full of pitch-black feathers, and the beastman who has this characteristic hissing shaman, there is only one person in the whole old world, it is the embodiment of disaster, the blasphemer, the sign of darkness, the father of the crows, the dark prophet Marago!
Behind it there are thousands of humanoid creatures with the same wings, which look a bit like the Harpy, but they are taller and stronger than the Harpy, and they are not as ugly as the Harpies.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect it to be the legendary Crow Father!" While Emperor Karl frowned, Ophini beside Levi also exclaimed in a low voice, she obviously knew about this enemy who was very imposing.
"Raven Father Malago?"
Reinhardt on the side was also a little surprised, originally these beastmen were enough for them to bear, if you add the famous father of the crow, this battle may be much more difficult to fight!
Ophini's face was also full of confusion: "That's right, it's it, but I heard that last time when it was besieging the Great Forest of Athel Loren with other beastmen, it was besieged by many elven gods' chosen ones in the twelve territories of the wood elves, and it was already seriously injured, how did it recover so quickly now?" ”
Even if she follows Levi around on adventures all day long, but as the daughter of the famous cemetery Rose, Ophine also has some information of her own, although her old lady has gone to the Nehekala region to explore the secrets of those gods, but many death mages in the Amethyst Academy, Ophine, her brothers, sisters and sisters, are gods, but they have correspondence with her from time to time.
But now there is no time for the two of them to continue to speculate, because the father of the crow, Malago, is still in mid-air, and he has already roared very domineeringly, and then raised his hand to summon a large number of energy crows, and the shadow that covers the sky and the sun falls from the sky with a slightly obscure light, and directly crashes into the imperial army that is waiting for it, it looks like a feast of beast spells, but looking at its momentum, it is ten times more powerful than the feast of crows performed by ordinary mages?
A series of violent explosions rang out, and even though the mages and priests of the empire tried their best to cast all kinds of defensive magic, but in the face of one of the most powerful hero units of the beastmen, their magic was much weaker in comparison, and a large magic light shield was easily punctured like a soap bubble, and hundreds of imperial soldiers were killed in its attack, and countless were seriously injured and lightly injured.
And the Empire's magic and arrows and other counterattacks couldn't hurt it at all.
It's not that its defense is really strong to that extent, but whenever an attack comes, there are always a large number of crow soldiers behind it who rush forward and use their bodies and lives to ensure its safety, which is one of the reasons why Marago got the nickname of Raven Father!
