Chapter 452: Fighting the Norscar Pirates (1)

When Levi returned to the city, he found that the ordinary heroes of the Chosen Ones were not very good, but the armies of many aborigines had already begun to mobilize, especially the war machines brought by the emperor, and they started to transport them as soon as possible, after all, their weight and volume were placed there, and they weighed dozens of tons at every turn, if they were not prepared in advance, I am afraid that they could only be placed in the city at that time.

Levi galloped all the way to the Emperor's mansion, and then he found that many indigenous heroes, including several legendary heroes brought by the Emperor from the Imperial City of Aldolf, as well as those sent by various territories along the way, plus the Nord Electors and several Electors' subordinates, were all ready to go.

Seeing Levi, the emperor took the rare initiative to say hello, "Levi, you came just in time, we have successfully achieved the goal, your subordinates have done a very good job, and even I am a little reluctant to let her go, hahaha!" ”

The Emperor laughed, and many of the indigenous heroes next to him also echoed, except for the Empire's supreme alchemist who was still wearing the golden mask, Levi could tell that everyone else was in a very good mood.

It was Mina who was praised next to the emperor, at this moment her little face was flushed and her head was lowered, and she ran back with small steps, Levi noticed that the mage robe on her body had been replaced with a new one, with a lot of stars and moons depicted on it, and there was also an extra string of bracelets and a ring on her hand, needless to say, this must be a reward given to her by the emperor.

Hua Meisi immediately cheered and ran over to greet her little friend, she hadn't seen her for a few days, but she missed her a little.

Zhou Jin also ran over in a hurry, but the place he was worried about was slightly different from Huameisi, you must know that in the Aurora Empire, giving jewelry to girls is not a casual thing, and Mina has a ring on her hand in addition to the bracelet, which is even more unusual, so he can't help but be nervous!

Levi didn't pay much attention to that, he took a look at it and continued to communicate with the emperor to exchange information, and then he learned that as he thought, the emperor frowned slightly and said, he decided to go on the expedition now, because according to the armillary sphere, the Norsca pirates will officially land at the port of Dister in the Nord Territory at about 3 o'clock this afternoon, and the number will exceed 500,000!

Leviston gasped, no wonder the emperor was in such a hurry, you must know that according to the reconnaissance of the Nord Led Navy, the Norska pirates have not yet gathered their ships, and it will take at least four or five days before they can start to invade one after another, if they really believe their intelligence, when the time comes, the 500,000 army will suddenly come to the front, and with the Nord leading this little army, it will be flattened in an instant!

After this period of intelligence gathering, Levi has understood that the army led by Nord is not only far inferior to the other party in terms of quantity, but also inferior to the Nosca pirate class in terms of quality.

Although the Norscan pirates were extremely scarce in supplies, they had little armor, most of them were made of the fur of the animals they hunted, and a small number of berserkers were simply clothed or shirtless.

And because of their own poor forging skills, the quality of their weapons is not very good, and the guys with excellent weapons are either leader-level units, or they are grabbed in the hands of Nord soldiers or others, but because of the cruel environment in the Norscar region, their own strength is much stronger than ordinary imperial soldiers, not to mention that there are all kinds of monster units in their troops!

With the exception of the Norsca Wardogs, which act as scouts, Ice Wolves, Skin Wolves, Swamp Monsters, Manticores, or Ice Trolls are far stronger than ordinary Imperial soldiers.

But on the Nord Territory, except for a handful of ice griffins, Levi never saw any monster units again, and the strength of the two sides was not on the same level at the beginning!

If there is no reinforcement from the Emperor, the only and best choice for the Nord Leader in the face of such an enemy is to hold on to the city, rely on the geographical advantage and war machinery to resist the enemy's attack, wait for possible reinforcements, or until the city is finally destroyed.

But now they have a better option, which is to arrive at the location early and snipe the Norsca pirates, so that they can't get to land and die in the sea!

"Levi, are you willing to take part in this great war?" The Emperor looked at Levi very seriously, as if he wanted to confirm Levi's sincerity.

In fact, the war is now somewhat beyond the control of the emperor.

At the beginning, the Northern Expedition he claimed was just trying to set a trap to attract the beastmen in the capital and other nearby territories, and then annihilate them, so as to ensure the safety of the surrounding area for more than ten years, he didn't pay much attention to the problem of Norscan pirates at all, the Northern Expedition was just an excuse.

Because before that, the warlike Nord Leader Elector had beaten those pirates all year round, and there were not many times when they could land on land, as long as he arrived at the Nord Territory and sent a large amount of supplies, he would be able to successfully win over the other party.

Although the Nord Leader and the Midden Leader have been related by marriage for at least a few hundred years, and the Rick Leader where the Midden Leader and Aldolph are located have different beliefs in the gods, and the Middlen Lord's Elector Boris has been unkind to himself when he failed to compete for the throne and a woman, but these materials are true after all, and he is almost the poorest Nord Leader Elector in the whole empire, and he will not refuse himself even if he looks at the material.

But things soon changed dramatically, first of all, he underestimated his appeal, not only the Beastmen, the Undead, the Skaven, but even the Greenskins and the Aquatic Tribes were involved in the attack, if it wasn't for the fact that he contacted the King of the Wood Elves he had met from his youth in advance to be on the safe side, and invited reinforcements with the generational racial hatred between the Beastmen and the Wood Elves, I am afraid that his Northern Expedition would have turned into a complete joke, and he would have become an incompetent emperor who lost his troops and talked a lot.

But fortunately, the battle was won in the end, the beastmen were killed by hundreds of thousands, and almost half of the empire's beastmen were empty, and he, the newly appointed emperor for a few years, showed his outstanding military command ability and excellent negotiation ability, not everyone can invite the wood elves, or the wood elves are difficult to see when they even play their forests, in the words of those chosen heroes, they are all some otaku otaku.

But the good times didn't last long, and the Nord Territory soon received urgent information that the number of Norska pirates was far beyond the ordinary, already more than 100,000!

So later, he had to make a fake show and really decided to crusade against those Norscan pirates, but when he arrived, he found that the truth was far more serious than he expected, and what the Nord Chosen Emperor said combined!

Fortunately, he still has a loyal and reliable group of subordinates, and now that things have taken a turn for the better, as long as he wins this war, his reputation will skyrocket in an instant, and no one will doubt whether he can be a good emperor!

It's just that when facing such a large number of Norscar pirates, he is still inevitably a little more than capable of strength, and of course he can't afford to raise a force of the same size.

Even his Northern Expedition this time has used the inventory of the past years to support it until now, but in the same way, he has also found a new way, without having to reserve a large number of standing troops, but still be able to achieve various goals, that is, the Chosen Hero!

Levi naturally didn't know the details of this place and the emperor's various mental journeys, they were not familiar to this point, but in the face of the emperor's inquiry, he naturally gave a positive response as soon as possible.

Levi bowed slightly, and gave a military salute, although he was still relatively low-level, but he was now also a general of the empire, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty and sweep away the Norska pirates!" ”

"Hahaha," Emperor Carlton laughed, and then he shook his fist fiercely, "Tell the whole army, and set off to meet the Norsca pirates!" ”

With the emperor's order, the whole city seemed to be lively in an instant, whether it was the aborigines or the chosen heroes, everyone moved actively and quickly, and Levi's subordinates were also very excited, although they had all been experienced in a hundred battles before, and even experienced a super battle with hundreds of thousands of beastmen, but that incident happened suddenly, they were the one who was attacked, and they didn't have time to think too much, they just knew how to kill the enemy desperately.

But this time it was different, according to the emperor's strategy, they set traps for the enemy in advance, and finally let the enemy taste the taste of being ambushed!

Looking at the excited people around him, the new half-elf Reiner was a little puzzled, of course Levi would not take him when he met the emperor, and because he was new to the city, he didn't seem to plan to join Levi, it was just a simple short-term employment relationship, so except for Sienna who chatted with him because everyone was of the same race, everyone else kept a distance from him very politely, and he couldn't get much useful information.

So in the end, Reiner, the half-elf, decided to come and ask Levi in person.

"Oh, since your village of Doleka is in Nord territory, you must be aware of the growing popularity of the notorious Norscan pirates, right?"

When Levi met with the emperor before, he also told the Nord Emperor about the half-elf village, and inquired a little about the details.

It is true that the half-elf village of Doleka is still in a small valley south of the Nord Territory, and they have always been very obedient to the Nord Territory, and the annual offerings and taxes are not less than that, and the special fruit wine brewed in their village is also not bad, and the Emperor Elector will receive some every year.

Although the Elector has not yet received any relevant news about the destruction of their village, he also feels a little pity, and promises to Levi that he will investigate after this war is over, and if it is really the Blade Lambert's doing, then he will definitely not let the other party go.

Of course, Levi thought that the other party would only say this because he was in front of the emperor, but in fact, what he regretted was probably just taxes and fruit wine, he didn't even know how many people there were in that half-elf village, how many troops could fight, and even who the leader was, and of course he didn't know if there was such a half-elf as Reiner.

In the final analysis, the race of half-elves is too weak, and the Elector didn't take it seriously at all, he can kill them all at any time by sending some troops, because not far from the half-elf village, there is a military post set up by the Nord Territory, which is stationed with hundreds of elite warriors, of course, the purpose of setting them up in the first place was not to deal with these half-elves, and to be wary of beastmen and greenskins or something.

As he spoke, Levi glanced at the half-elves who had been following behind him with a straight face, who didn't look like Reiner had said, just survivors who had gone out hunting with him.

Levi noticed that they had always kept almost the same distance from Reiner as they walked, and at this time, no matter what direction a long-range attack came to Reiner, they would definitely be able to intercept it at the first time, and the level of elite could only be matched by the emperor's personal guards, right?

And how could Reiner, who was protected by them, be just an ordinary half-elf?

This guy can't be some kind of half-elf prince, right? Hiding your identity for revenge? To revive the Half-Elves? Should the bridge be so vulgar?

Of course, the half-elf Reiner would not know Levi's inner complaint, but for the other party's eyes, he was still keenly aware of something wrong, and the other party must have some suspicions.

He couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart, blaming the guys who followed behind him, if it was just himself, he would definitely not show his feet so quickly, although he didn't have any malicious intent, but such trouble was really unnecessary, but he definitely couldn't get rid of the guys behind him, after all, they weren't his direct subordinates...

Seeing that Levi's eyes were more and more focused on the few people behind him, the half-elf Reiner hurriedly snorted, "Of course, I know them, they rush to the land every year to raid and slaughter the villages and towns along the coast, and they are the most hated enemies of all the residents of the Nord Territory, and this year they seem to have encountered some survival problems, they almost poured out, so the emperor will personally bring a large army here to participate in the war." ”

Levi nodded, that's right, he was about to say something, but the half-elf Reiner continued, "By the way, Lord Levi, our village has also been attacked by Norscan pirates before, if there is a battle in a while, can you let me also participate, I also want to avenge them!" ”

Levi's gaze froze suddenly, but he was the first to laugh before the other party could find out, "Of course, you don't have to be soft on dealing with the Norska pirates, I will give you the opportunity to participate in the battle, but you also need to be safe, because I also need you to see us kill Lambert with your own eyes." ”

"Of course, of course, I'm a little confident in my own strength, and I certainly won't forget the hatred of Lambert Blade!" Reiner, the half-elf, raised the weapon in his hand and signaled to Levi that he was not unprepared.

He and several half-elves behind him are all cavalry units with a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, although they are only wearing some leather armor, and they don't seem to have strong defense, but looking at their various movements on horseback, Levi knows that they are definitely quite elite cavalry, which is still very rare for half-elves.

Levi nodded with a smile, but at the same time, his suspicion of the other party deepened.

The half-elven village of Doleka is an inland region south of the Nord Territory, and the Norscan pirates rarely go that deep, as it means that the Nord Lord's army has not succeeded in intercepting the invading enemy.

Moreover, the Elector had said before that he had a military post of several hundred men nearby, and it was impossible for ordinary Norscan pirates to cross them to attack there, and they would give priority to unsuspecting villages when they plundered.

According to the Elector, like this year, the appearance of Norscan pirates in groups of thousands has not been done in the past two hundred years, and in ordinary times, Norscan pirates are a few ships and one hundred and eighty people, even if it is good, so unless they have to, they will not gnaw hard bones at all.

The most important thing is that when mentioning those Norscan pirates, there was no hatred in the eyes of the half-elf Reiner, but excitement and anticipation, which further confirmed Levi's guess that the other party was lying, and he probably just wanted to fight the Norscan pirates, so he made up such a reason!

However, Levi also gained something, he was at least sure that the other party should have no ill will towards him, because he was a little too immature, and his various disguises were really not too good.

And the expressionless and speechless guards behind him also seriously dragged him back, they didn't have any special performance for themselves with thousands of troops under their command, it seemed that they were just a group of air, either they were inherently cold, or they were already used to it...

It's more fun for yourself, though, isn't it?
