Chapter 431: The War Is Raging
Although Levi temporarily outscored the opponent through the pre-arrangement, and took out a lot of the elite centaurs who were the fastest and happiest to rush, Gros Warhooves showed considerable combat effectiveness afterwards.
Although its nearly two-meter-long giant mace attack speed is not fast, once it is wielded, even the dwarf hero Tiemu and even Burke cannot resist its wild attack, and ordinary soul warriors and dwarf warriors are easily killed by it in seconds, even if it is a 5th-order tomb giant scorpion controlled by Zhou Jin and others, it can't hold it for too long, because it not only has ordinary attacks, but also has a single, a group attack to fight power combat skills!
Once the crusher stick in its hand blooms and the whole body thickens a few times, it can often easily kill ordinary 4th-order troops in an instant, even the rough skin and thick tomb giant scorpion will be crippled by a single blow, and when it dances madly with the five short spear-like horns on its head to charge, it can cause terrifying damage to all the infantry around it.
Coupled with the large number of long-range attack units of the Centaur, the front-line infantry were losing ground for a while, and Ophini needed to constantly summon new soul scars to fill the gaps of the fallen soldiers, and she didn't even have time to repair her skills, and she didn't have a chance to use them, because the ordinary soul scars were basically completely destroyed after being attacked by Gross Warhooves, and there was no possibility of repairing them at all!
Gros Warhoof may not be the strongest aboriginal Levi's encountered, but in terms of single attack power, it is indeed second to none now, even the famous Beast Butcher Duke Bohammond looks slightly inferior to him, Ophini needs to spend all her energy, plus her various magic, and a group of magicians led by Mina to barely hold it back, but it is still impossible to avoid the death of his subordinates at every moment, and it has a high probability that it is also a member of the legendary hero, a legendary hero belonging to the beastmen!
Of course, Gros Warhoof has only shown pure brute force at the moment, without the slightest skill, and its super giant mace has taken the route of one force to ten guilds, except for smashing or sweeping, if he fights the beast butcher one-on-one, Levi believes that the final winner will definitely be the Duke.
And Levi noticed that the other party showed such a strong combat power after drinking the liquid in the vessel it was carrying behind him, and every once in a while, it would pour a few mouthfuls into its mouth, which quickly attracted his attention, maybe the reason why the other party is so strong is precisely because of the things he drank, then it must not last too long, and those liquids will always run out, and he just needs to hold on and wait slowly, even if it costs a very big price!
At this moment, Tian Lone Star and Mo Yu and other little brothers quietly approached Levi's side, Tian Lone Star, who had never been very careful, was full of worry at the moment, "Boss, the situation is a little not good." Although the emperor said that reinforcements were coming, our reconnaissance force only found less than 2,000 cavalry joining the battlefield, and they were all ordinary imperial cavalry, not even many knights of those various knights, and Rick Janissaries didn't see a few at all, which was different from what the emperor said before! ”
The fish on the side also nodded again and again, "That's right, boss, and our flying unit also detected that more than ten miles away from here, the direction leading to the Talabek Territory is also full of smoke and dust, and the guns are roaring, it seems that there is also a big battle going on there, could it be that the emperor's reinforcements have been intercepted?" ”
Livingston looked stunned, "Do you see the races of the two warring sides?" ”
Touching the fish shook his head slightly, "No, boss, the battlefield of the other party's battle is in the forest, which has a strong obscuring effect on the line of sight of the flying unit, and we need more time to get detailed information." ”
"Touch the fish, immediately increase reconnaissance efforts, we must see the races of the warring sides, and at the same time send a signal to Dawei and Flame Blade, don't continue to entangle with those harpy banshees, if it is really the emperor's reinforcements that are blocked, I may need their strength! Sky Lone Star, I need you to draw out some elite forces as reserves without affecting the battle situation, maybe things will change. ”
Tian Lone Star and Touching Fish also knew the seriousness of the matter, and they nodded in unison at the moment: "Yes, boss!" "Okay, boss, I'll do it!"
After the two departed, Levi began to organize his troops to change formation to resist the increasingly ferocious onslaught of the beastmen, while continuing to stare at the still raging Gros Warhooves in front of him.
Even in the fierce battle, the other party has been protecting the big wine vat behind him, and now it has drunk and spilled on the ground to waste hundreds of catties, after all, Gross Warhoof himself is a big man, every time he drinks a few catties or a dozen catties, but now it looks like that, that big vat looks like a space storage prop, it has never been drunk, Levi's previous idea seems to be in vain!
Thankfully, Reinhardt's side had a good result, and a large number of centaur axemen and spearmen were attracted away, which gradually reduced the pressure on the front-line infantry, and gave them more strength to concentrate on Gros Warhooves.
As for the ordinary centaurs, they were a little threatening when they launched the first wave of charges, but now Aeus, who was wearing the Oak Fruit of the Era, had already started a stage of madness to meet it, with his strength, even if he fought alone in the centaur herd, the big sword in his hand was enough to set off a storm of killing, not to mention that Levi also specially sent the warrior monk Chen Cone and the dark elf female assassin Otilia to guard his left and right, he only needed to concentrate on killing the enemy.
"Sienna, pick out the most elite group of archers, prepare the rockets, wait for my order in a while, and launch an attack with David's air force, I want to see if it will always be on its back if its wine vat burns directly!"
Levi is also a little ruthless, it's really Gros Warhoof, this guy is too arrogant, too hateful, not only does it wantonly kill, but also its mouth is not idle, it has been spraying some spicy chicken talk, mixed with some foul language from time to time, it doesn't sound like a beastman leader at all, but like a drunken little rascal in a tavern, it really doesn't fit its identity as a beastman hero!
However, Gros Warhoof's self-destructive speech revealed a lot of secrets, such as the fact that it was very proud of its title of the father of all beasts, and claimed that it hunted far more than centaurs, and that all creatures with four hooves were within its hunting range, and even its gender could not stop it, and the only thing that made it a little regretful was that when it went to the Great Forest of Athel Loren, it was unable to get what it wanted because the alliance of the beastmen was eventually defeated by the alliance of the wood elves and the tree people. And the unicorns are too arrogant...
And Levi also heard a lot of useful information, such as why Marago, the crow father, recovered from his serious injuries so quickly, and Shadow, another legendary hero among the beastmen, did not participate in the battle, and his feud Wood Elves must have been very, very interested in it...
"Yes, sir!"
Sienna immediately received the order, in fact, she was also full of anger at this enemy who had brought heavy casualties to her side, but the opponent's defense was too strong, ordinary bows and arrows and guns were basically ineffective against it, and powerful war weapons could not effectively aim at the other party.
However, when the eagle beast knight Davi led a group of horned eagles, griffins and manticores and other flying units to dive from top to bottom, he heard the scream of the air, even if he was drunk because he had drunk too much wine, Gros Warhooves couldn't help but show some cautious looks on his long horse face, although it claimed to be the king of the ground, but for these winged and flying guys, it really didn't have much means to deal with it.
Gros Warhoof struggled to use all his strength to strengthen his defenses, and turned his head to order his ranged troops to come to reinforcements, although it also knew that ordinary axemen and spearmen were basically useless against such powerful creatures as Hippogriffs, and that they could only make up for the qualitative gap through quantity, and that they would inevitably lose a lot in the process, but it didn't care about that, because all of its descendants were just an accidental product of its entertainment, used as cannon fodder to protect itself, That's the perfect thing to do!
But when Gros Warhoof looked back, it was dumbfounded, because those little cubs who had just obediently followed behind him had already been scattered across the vast battlefield unconsciously, and they had no organization and discipline in the first place, and now they were all happily chasing down some human cavalry armed with muskets, and it was impossible for them to call them back in a short time!
"Cunning human!" Gros Warhoof roared, but it was too late to let out any more fury, for the enemy in the sky was already close at hand, and it had to fight it himself!
Seeing that Gros Warhoof couldn't pull out for the time being under the attack of Dawei and others, Levi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was still very early before the matter was over, their battle here was only a part of the whole war, and it was the Imperial Army led by the Emperor that could really decide the final outcome of this battle!
The fierce battle continued, although some imperial reinforcements came one after another from the direction of the Imperial City of Aldolf, and even four or five squads of half-griffin cavalry appeared, directly charging to kill two beastmen heroes and hundreds of elite minotaurs, slightly alleviating the unfavorable battle situation.
But when he saw the appearance of those reinforcements, Levi's heart sank, because many of the reinforcements had traces of the battle, they must have experienced the battle on the way here, encountered ambushes by other enemies, and there was a high probability of being undead, because many of their armor had traces of being attacked by evil necromantic magic!
Things started to turn for the worst, and these beastmen not only united the Aqua forces, but even the undead! If even the reinforcements from the direction of the Imperial City of Aldolf were attacked by the enemy, then the reinforcements from Talabek would definitely end up even worse!
Sure enough, Touching Fish and the others quickly reported more accurate reconnaissance information to Levi, it turned out that there was indeed an army led by Tarabek among the two sides fighting on another battlefield, and their enemy was a combined army mixed with greenskins, goblins and ogres, and they were at an absolute disadvantage at the moment, let alone come to reinforce the emperor, and even whether they could safely withdraw to Tarabek was a big problem.
And they even found some traces of the Skaven rats, although they have always been cautious and did not participate in that battle, but Levi and they all know that if the army led by Talabek can turn defeat into victory, the rats will definitely not sit idly by, and according to the character of the rat people, I am afraid that the army led by Talabek will be almost 100% ambushed by them when they retreat!
"Boss, should we inform the emperor?"
"I don't think I need you to inform me, they already know." Levi stretched out his hand and saw that about a hundred or so knights with the coat of arms of the Tarabek collar and riding griffons had appeared at the end of the line of sight.
Although they were constantly attacked by harpies, ravens, manticores, and even the screaming shaman and the Beastmen's chosen heroes during their flight, they managed to traverse the battlefield with great tenacity and finally landed on the Emperor's flagship.
Although Levi couldn't see the emperor's expression clearly for a while because of the distance, a series of instructions came out of his flagship quickly, and the way all the imperial armies fought changed slightly.
They no longer planned to survive here for the rest of their lives as they originally did, but tried to distance themselves from these beastmen, and even the Empire's highest alchemist, who had been riding a Pegasus in the sky and fighting against the Raven Father, was no longer so arrogant and laughed between battles, and began to be conservative in his style of play, he no longer launched a ferocious attack, but focused most of his energy on weakening the enemy army and improving the defense of the Imperial troops.
Obviously, the emperor is planning to retreat!
