Chapter 384: Rescue Hemlock Castle
A few minutes later, the dark elf from the Jingo Society left with a smoke, and looking at the smile on his face, it was obvious that he had received a satisfactory answer.
And at this time, the weak water Sanqian and the others, who had already heard the news, were also a little surprised to look at the other party's back, the boss didn't kill the other party, needless to say, there is definitely a secret in this!
Facing the doubtful younger brothers, Levi smiled, "I just reached a simple verbal agreement with the Jingo Society, and I think it may be more conducive to the upcoming battle." ”
The younger brothers were excited, because once the boss showed such a smile, it meant that someone was going to be unlucky!
Changqing Jian, who was more anxious, couldn't help but shout directly, "Boss, what kind of agreement is it?" Could it be that they want to partner with us to deal with Blood Raven City? ”
Levi looked at the other party in surprise, "Is it so obvious?" ”
Changqing Jian laughed very ill-willedly, "Boss, after all, I have been guarding the Wind Hunting Tribe for so long, and I still have some understanding of the various personalities of these dark elves, although they are the same chosen heroes as us just now, but they can get into a high position in the society of dark elves, and it will not be a good thing to think of them." ”
Leaviston chuckled, "That's right, but we can't put all the bets on each other, and we also have to be prepared for them to break the contract because of a sudden change of fortune, Evergreen Sword, this task will be left to you." ”
Changqing Jian suddenly puffed up his chest, "Yes, boss, don't worry!" "Since the start of the war, he hasn't done much, so he's been holding back his strength, hoping that the other party can give him this opportunity to perform!
After a few more words, seeing that their middle and high-level juniors were almost clear about the situation, Levi also passed down the order, asking the troops to start slowly retreating, although many ordinary members were still confused, but they still did not hesitate to carry out Levi's order, because they knew that Levi would never let them down.
It seemed to notice Levi's movements, and the dark elf troops belonging to the two forces in the distance quickly accelerated their pace, advancing quickly from both directions, and gradually had the meaning of confluence.
After calculating the distance and direction a little, Levi ordered the troops to stop and began to prepare for the battle, if according to his assumption, the gray dwarves of Hemlock Castle, the army of dark elves and watchers would happen to be in the same straight line, and the dark elves were in the middle, and it was also the position that was most likely to be flanked by the front and back, now it depends on whether the Jin Ge Society, as well as the gray dwarf Duke, can they seize the best opportunity...
Levi's army was on the sidelines, and the dark elves of Blood Raven City gradually slowed down and began to advance slowly, and their ballistas, repeaters, and all kinds of dark and flame magic came before their blades.
Since he had just destroyed a detachment of the Blood Raven City, killed a large number of dark elves, and opened a lot of illustrated books about the other party, Levi had a certain degree of understanding of many attributes and characteristics of these dark elves.
For example, their ballista is called the Reaper, and they have a total of two types of ammunition, one is a high-power ammunition for siege, which is characterized by strong attack power, but the attack speed and hit rate are not ideal, and the other is blessed by black magic, which can explode after hitting the target, which is more effective against large-scale infantry units.
There are also the dark elves dressed as pirates, in fact, they are really pirates, but now they are on land, they are also extraordinary in combat, they are all 4th order troops, but their strengths and weaknesses are also prominent, that is, the most typical offensive and defensive weakness, after all, it is impossible to wear heavy armor in the sea all year round, otherwise if you fall into the water, it will not be good.
After learning so much information, Levi was immediately able to carry out targeted tactics, such as dealing with pirates, giving priority to attacking them from a distance, and dealing with the Reaper ballista, trying to keep the troops loose in formation, its magic arrows have a splashing range after all, and the splashing range is much smaller than that of the mortar cannon, and the opponent's cavalry has been killed, not afraid that they will take advantage of it.
With Levi's orders, it immediately had an immediate effect, and the casualties of the troops were reduced by several percent at once. At the same time, Levi also led the cavalry troops again and launched a charge against the main force of Blood Raven City.
It's just that this time his operation was not as smooth as before, because in addition to the main force of Blood Raven City, which is equipped with a large number of anti-cavalry units such as spearmen and halberders, they also have a large number of monster troops as cannon fodder, and almost all the monsters that appear in the underground world can find traces here.
Although the strength of most of these monsters is not too strong, they can occasionally see fifth-order monsters such as manticores, berserk dragon beasts, and fire lizard beasts, which is a bit of a big threat to Levi's cavalry troops.
So after a few attempts, Levi knew how powerful the other party was, and he began to avoid frontal conflicts, and instead led the cavalry troops, like hunting wolves, around the troops of Blood Raven City, going up to attack from time to time, causing certain casualties to the other party, and trying to find the real weak point of the other party.
For a while, the leader of Blood Raven City, the master beast tamer Agatha's mother was very uncomfortable, and she had to spend some of her energy to deliberately guard against these cunning humans, so as not to be attacked by the other party, which would definitely cause considerable casualties to her army, after all, most of the dark elves were still only at the level of the 2nd and 3rd orders, and the 4th order were all elite backbones.
Previously, because she underestimated this mixed army from Blackstone Castle, the scattered army was annihilated by humans and dwarves. Although most of those troops belonged to other families in Blood Raven City, not directly subordinate troops of their own family, and they usually did not have special respect for themselves, they were still part of Blood Raven City after all, which was already a heavy loss, and if she suffered such losses again, she was afraid that she would not even be able to protect Blood Raven City!
Damn it, it's all to blame on Anuda of Tahamat! If he had attacked with his own troops before, how could he be so easily defeated by those guys from the order camp!
Thinking of this, Mistress Agatha couldn't help but call over a few female assassins, and said with some hatred, "Tell Anuda to speed up the march immediately and cooperate with us to defeat this army led by the Chosen Hero, otherwise he won't want to enter the Hemlock Fort and take a gold coin!" ”
Although this operation is a joint operation between Blood Raven City and Tahamat, the Agatha Mistress dares to say that this is not only a certain gap in each other's strength, but also the domineering and self-confidence that has gradually generated from the many races and forces that have oppressed the underground world for a long time.
The female assassin at the head immediately responded, preparing to leave for the Tahamat army, conveying the meaning of Agatha's mistress. But before they could set off, several of the Dark Elf Chosen Heroes had already stumbled in.
Agatha's Mother suddenly frowned, although these Chosen Heroes have put in a lot of effort recently, and their prestige and merits in Blood Raven City are almost enough to be knighted, but no matter how many times she has watched it, she still can't accept some of their habits, such as now.
She was about to open her mouth to rebuke the other party, but the Chosen Heroes had already taken the lead in shouting: "Lord Agatha, Tahamat has attacked, but the target is us!" ”
"What?!"
Levi in the distance certainly noticed the movements of Tahamat's army, and although they seemed to want to join up with the forces of Blood Raven, when they got closer, they suddenly launched an attack on the army of Blood Raven.
At the same time, there was a continuous sound of cannons in the hemlock fort, and then the city gate was opened, and groups of heavily armed gray dwarf warriors came out of it, launching an attack from the flank and rear, and now the blood crow city will face three forces at the same time, from three different directions to attack!
Although the strength of Blood Raven City was completely superior to any single force present, in the face of the siege of the three parties, after holding out for two quarters of an hour of fierce battle, they were finally defeated.
It's just that Levi and they still failed to catch the other party's leader after all, because at the last moment, in addition to some relatively low strength of the dark elf warriors, a large number of monster enemies were left behind, acting as cannon fodder to block their pursuit, and those monster units seemed to have been applied with special magic, many monsters have become red-eyed, muscles are stretched, and their combat effectiveness has also been improved to varying degrees, which has caused quite a serious obstacle to Levi and them.
Levi heard that the owner of Blood Raven City is a master beast tamer named Agatha, which is likely to be her handiwork, but the other party is very well hidden, until now Levi has not found any trace of the other party, so naturally there is no way to carry out the decapitation tactic.
Although there are only about two or three thousand dark elves who have begun to retreat, they are all elite troops, and they are panicked and not chaotic, and the formation is quite rigorous, Levi led the cavalry troops to try several times, but failed to take advantage, but lost some cavalry, he can only give up this idea in the end, and instead work harder to eliminate the abandoned son in front of him, the number of the other party is still quite large, and he can't be too careless.
No sooner had Levi made his decision than he noticed a new movement on Tahamat's side, and they began to try to break away from the battle and retreat backwards. Levi immediately raised his vigilance and instructed his subordinates to be on guard, who knows what these capricious and cunning dark elves will do.
Soon Levi received a report from his younger brother again, saying that the members of the Jingo Club who had met Levi before and made a deal were now here again.
After the other party came to Levi, he passed a message, saying that they Tahamat had no intention of fighting with the Warden and Hemlock Castle, in order to avoid their hometown being attacked by the angry Blood Raven City, they had to go back to guard immediately, and they could not continue to fight here, this was the decision of the Tahamat natives, they Jin Ge would be light and powerless to fight, but they hoped that there would be a chance to cooperate with the Warden in the future.
Levi snorted coldly, he had no excuse to believe the other party at all. Blood Raven City had just suffered such a fiasco, and they would not be able to recover for a long time, and perhaps even the leader of this Blood Raven City army would be questioned, after all, he already knew that there were many large and small dark elf families in Blood Raven City.
How could they possibly go and attack Tahamat right now? Tahamat made up his mind to preserve his strength, and then laughed at Levi and they were fighting hard with Blood Raven City!
But no matter what, the remnants of these Blood Raven City in front of them cannot be let go, and now that the other party is out, he can let himself free his hands and feet to attack, and he doesn't have to be wary of them while fighting.
So Levi didn't show too many ideas on the surface, but just said very plainly that he understood, and he also hoped that there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future. In this battle, he did not encounter any aborigines from Tahamat from beginning to end, but always Jingo would communicate in the middle, and the energy of the other party must not be underestimated, and Levi was not entirely polite.
The envoy of the Jingo Society had just left, and Hemlock Castle had also started to communicate with Levi, and this time it was none other than the gray dwarves who had been rescued by Levi under the hands of the cave trolls.
Not unexpected, they brought the news of Duke the lord of Hemlock Castle, probably some words of thanks, and the hope that the two sides could work together to exterminate the remnants of Blood Raven City, Levi naturally had no objection to this, if he wanted to make the underground world no threat to Blackstone Castle, Blood Raven City was originally one of his goals this time, and it was also the biggest goal among them!
The ensuing battle went very smoothly, and under the double attack of Levi and Duke, the remnants of the dark elves were quickly wiped out in large numbers, especially when the buff magic on those monster-like enemies failed, and they died faster.
Although Duke's gray dwarves were blocked in the hemlock castle before, it was only because the dark elves of the two forces crushed them in terms of overall strength, and they had to defend the city, but now they still showed extraordinary bravery against these remnants.
There are well-armed gray dwarf warriors and musketeers on the ground, gray dwarf helicopters in mid-air, and war machines such as catapults, ballistas and mortars in the rear, and their long-range firepower is still very powerful.
The only obvious weakness is probably that the proportion of melee troops in the gray dwarf is too low.
Levi felt that the proportion of long-range troops in his own army was high enough, but compared to Duke, it was still a small thing, because at least more than eighty percent of the gray dwarves he saw were long-range units, which meant that theoretically every dwarven warrior was responsible for protecting four ranged units, which was really a bit exaggerated, they were dwarves, not wood elves!
So when the war was decided and Levi and Duke converged, after a simple politeness, he asked his own questions.
Duke, who was full of gratitude to Levi a moment ago, changed color after hearing Levi's question, the target of his anger will not be Levi's life-saving benefactor, but the culprit who caused him to become so miserable now, the leader of Blood Raven City, the master beast tamer Agatha's mother!
"It's all Agatha's slut, she always said that she would help me and become the master of Hemlock Castle, and then we will form a solid alliance and divide the entire underground world together, but when I cleaned up those annoying old solids, and Hemlock Castle was at its weakest, she suddenly launched an attack on us, and my warriors were stabbed to death by those damn black bean sprouts!"
"Not only does this directly lead to us having to passively defend the city, but even if it weren't for Levi's to save me, after all our soldiers were killed, I'm afraid Hemlock Castle would have to change to a new owner!"
Speaking of which, Duke's face was full of resentment, he had just become the boss of Hemlock Castle, and his ass was not yet hot, but Blood Raven City came to such a hand, this is not just as simple as not giving face or tearing up the treaty, Agatha's old woman not only wants Hemlock Castle, but also wants his life!
