Chapter 484: The Battle on the Sea in the Center
After clearing the ships, the small fleet began to set off again, and Levi took the map and gathered his main men for a brief meeting to give a general explanation of the current situation.
Although he now has a map and a compass, and even some coordinates and topographic maps on it, but after all, he is the first time to come to the sea, and he can be said to know nothing about sailing, he can't read those things at all, he is not an omnipotent god after all, so he also needs his subordinates to help him solve this puzzle together.
"That's right, it's almost certain, it's a deserted island near Fort Marion, about fifty miles to the northwest, and I've walked around Fort Marion a few times when I first arrived in the Old World, so I'm a little impressed."
It was Reiner who spoke, because his sister was the Supreme Commander of the High Elves garrison at Fort Marien, in charge of the High Elves fleet there, so he could be said to be the most vocal person in this matter.
Werner, the Poseidon knight next to him, also nodded, "That's right, my lord, I think so too." ”
Werner is also a native of Marienburg, and he is also a descendant of nobles, and the Mannan Church of the Sea God he believes in also has a lot of energy in Marienburg, but he has been away from Marienburg for too long after all, and he didn't care much about this information before, and his memory is not particularly deep, so he didn't speak out for the first time just now.
"Near Marienburg? This can be a little tricky. ”
By now, there were almost all traces of God's chosen heroes all over the old world, and Marienburg was no exception, and Levi felt that his trip might not go so smoothly.
The Chosen Heroes may not be able to catch up with the aborigines in terms of combat effectiveness for the time being, but when it comes to the ability to make trouble, they are definitely far superior to any aborigines, and I am afraid that the legendary Tzeentch demons, who are the best at intrigue and trickery, may not be able to match them.
However, it was only a slight trouble, and the powerful natives who died at his hands did not know how much, and he was not afraid of other Chosen Heroes, and maybe even he might get extra help by virtue of his status as an expeditionary knight.
Although Marion Castle is firmly stuck at the mouth of the Rick River, it is not the closest place to the sea, there is a narrow wasteland to the northwest of Marienburg, which is the closest place to the sea, and theoretically it is also the territory of the Knight Kingdom, next to it is the capital of the Knight Kingdom.
Although that wasteland has no mining value, and because of this, there are no towns or villages at all, and there are still green skins, beastmen or something all the year round, Marienburg seems to have intended to use it as a buffer with the knight kingdom, so it has only sent troops to garrison key parts without any clearance work, but if Levi can pay enough price, it seems that it is not impossible to land from the wasteland and then seek the help of the knight kingdom...
Of course, this is just Levi's general idea, he first has to determine the value of that treasure, if its value is high enough, and he can't keep it alone, it seems to be a good choice to pull Reiner and his sister into the game, and compared to the completely unfamiliar knight kingdom, Reiner should be able to say a few words in front of his sister...
With a clear goal, Levi let the wolf ship where the Poseidon Knight Werner was take the lead, and they began to go straight to the island recorded on the map, and occasionally encountered some Norsca pirates on the way, but the sea snake people never appeared again, and it seemed that it should indeed be on the original island, and they were served by Levi's and them.
This makes them a little less troublesome, those guys are really a little bit poor, they have almost nothing but experience points, even gold coins are pitiful, and they are not even as good as those Norscar pirates who are also very poor, at least the Norska pirates can occasionally drop some good blue equipment, but these sea snake people, their weapons made of animal bones and rocks, even the green grade is less!
In this way, after sailing for most of the day, Levi and the others finally crossed the Talon Sea and stepped into a new realm, the central sea that connected to the Rick River.
The most obvious change here is the temperature, which is different from the original Talon Sea, where the temperature is very low and there are often snowflakes falling in the sky, the temperature here is much higher, and even the sea breeze is warm, which makes people a little unrefreshed and just want to sleep.
Even Levi was the case, not to mention the others.
But soon, a series of cannon shots completely woke everyone up from their drowsy state, and soon the news came from the wolf ship at the front, and it seemed that two fleets were fighting each other in front, or more directly, one of them was besieging the other, and the scale was still very large!
"Can you see clearly what race and what forces are on both sides?"
That's Levi's main concern, if both sides of the war are Norscan pirates, then they can rush over from the side and fight whoever they see, preferably killing both groups together.
Anyway, they don't have any need to communicate with the Norscar pirates, just fight, and if they are Norscan pirates, even if they are numerous, they will not be very threatening to themselves, their ships are too dilapidated and old, even if they can also snatch the ship from Lady Kesley, Levi is not afraid of it.
But if it was another race, he would have to think about it somewhat, although the firepower of the Landuine was very fierce, and the other three wolf ships were not weak, but if it was the regular navy of a big power, it would be absolutely impossible for them to go to sea with only four boats like themselves!
"Most of the ships on the besieging side are in tatters, and they look very similar to the pirate ships we fought before, except that the scale is much larger, and they are divided into more than a dozen large and small forces, and they all carry different flags, but there are at least more than a hundred warships that are more than ten meters long, and there are some larger ships. As for the other side, because of the siege of those pirate ships, Lord Werner couldn't see it clearly for a while, so you might as well go and see for yourself! Said the subordinate in charge of conveying the message.
Levi frowned and ordered the Landoin to begin approaching the battlefield from the side, but to be careful at all times so that the two sides in the battle would misunderstand them.
More than a hundred warships, even if they were the undead pirate ships that were sunk by them before, that was at least a few hundred mortars and a larger number of ballistas, if they fought head-on, it was impossible for Levi and their four ships to win at all.
Even if it is unfortunate enough to be blocked by the other party, the Landoin may be able to get out of the battle with the help of steam acceleration, but the other three wolf ships may not even be able to escape, so it is better to go over and see the situation first, whether they can join forces with the other side, and do something together.
But when Levi approached the battlefield, and he had just identified by the flag that the pirate ships should belong to eleven different organizations, he saw that in the center of the battlefield, a large shadow suddenly rose, instantly obscuring the small half of the sky, and then volleyed down on all the pirate ships surrounding them.
Almost in an instant, at least five or six pirate ships were directly forcibly sunk by these flying troops, including not only a dozen meters long pirate ships, but also two pirate ships larger than Levi's wolf ship, but under the onslaught of these flying troops, they looked so fragile.
Because among the shadows that flew up, there were not only some obviously mutated harpies, and some manticores that were as black as ink, but also some sky beasts with hideous claws and heavy scale armor, wingspans of tens of meters, and some black dragons!
Reiner's face at the front changed instantly, and even the expressionless High Elf knights behind him began to feel panic, because they all knew who these dragons with pitch-black scale armor belonged to after being transformed by supernatural magic!
"My lord, it's the dark elves, it's the black ark of the dark elves!" Because of extreme nervousness, Reiner's whole voice changed slightly.
But at this time, no one would laugh at him for this, because everyone was already deeply shocked, because in addition to the overwhelming thousands of harpies, and hundreds of manticores, there were also a dozen black dragons.
Unlike the wood elves, who look thin and small, these black dragons with bulging muscles, hideous bone spurs everywhere around their bodies, and a body size that is obviously several sizes larger, are definitely not easy to mess with at first glance!
Without saying a word, Levi immediately ordered the fleet to immediately begin to turn around and flee.
The Dark Elves have a much worse reputation at sea than the Norscan pirates.
Although the Norsca pirates look babbling all day long, claiming that there is no place in the Old World that they can't grab, but in fact, based on their extremely poor shipbuilding technology, in most cases, the only areas they can loot are basically Kislev, the land of ice and snow, and the Nord Territory in the north of the empire.
If they want to go somewhere else, such as the knightly kingdom of Bretonnia with its long coastline, then they need to be lucky enough that their little wrecked ship is not swallowed up by the wind and waves or sea beasts along the way, and it is not sunk by the fleets of other powers, so that they can have a chance of success.
For example, in the Emperor's Northern Expedition that had just passed, those who were able to snatch military warships from Lady Keighrie were extremely rare after all, and there were not necessarily a few times in the past few decades.
But the Dark Elves are different, they are literally raiding the world!
Not only the countries of the Old World, but also the red-crested lizard priest Habakak, who was more familiar with Levi, had inadvertently revealed that the dark elves had attacked their temples in Lustria more than once, slaughtering his kind, just for the decorative gold.
Well, gold is valuable to the lizardmen, but it is different from the value in humans, according to Levi's understanding, the lizardmen are probably a rationing system + communist system, everyone distributes according to their needs, there is no money transaction, gold is a magic prop for them, and then it is an ornament.
Although the High Elves of Ulthuan Roundabout have the protection of the magic storm, they have not escaped this doom either, just look at the expressions of Reiner and the High Elves behind him, after all, the dark elves are from the same race as them!
And most importantly, Levi was almost 100% sure that if he had to choose between the undead pirates and them, under normal circumstances, if he had to choose between those undead pirates and them, the dark elves would definitely choose to attack them!
Because the dark elves are also the largest slave owners in the entire world, ordinary dark elves will not engage in any productive labor at all, their only task is to fight, and those labor will be handed over to the alien slaves they capture!
The Dark Elves won't hunt down those zombies, because the Dark Elves don't have a necromancer class, they can't drive the undead, they only take living people like themselves as slaves!
Maybe a giant dragon is nothing to Levi now, and he can also shoot down with two or three cannons on the ship, but a dozen black dragons, plus the overwhelming manticore lion and harpy, if they don't escape, they will be completely torn to pieces in a few minutes!
What's more, unlike the abandoned dark elves in the underground world of Blackstone Castle, Levi knows that these real dark elves have many other powerful troops, because he now has a real dark elf under his command - the female assassin Otileia!
As soon as the black dragon came out, regardless of race, there was a ghost crying wolf howl from the many pirate ships that were still besieging, and then all the pirate ships began to retreat desperately, trying to pull away to a safe distance.
But it was too late, the seven or eight black dragons took the lead in stretching their wings, and then levitated in mid-air with their supernatural flying ability, and then they almost unanimously made the same movement, and they took a deep breath.
In the next moment, pillars of energy light full of strange and ominous energy spewed out from the black dragons' hideous giant mouths, which lasted for four or five seconds before stopping.
Although these black dragons seemed to have spent a lot of energy after spitting, and they seemed a little sluggish, but below, the pirate warships they targeted had already had some more large holes through the hull, and some black and blue flames were burning wantonly around the big holes.
These strange flames did not spread quickly, but quickly corroded the thick deck around them to a fragile state, and the pirates who were unfortunately affected around them, whether they were zombies, vampires, or other creatures, their entire bodies were transformed into the same color, and large cracks began to appear around the body, and it seemed that they were not only poisoned, but also entered a negative state such as weakness or armor breaking!
Levi, who had been observing from a distance, couldn't help but gasp, "Is this the power of the black dragon's breath?" It doesn't feel like it's the same creature as the Wood Elf's Green Dragon and the Crimson Dragon! ”
