Chapter 253: Bloodclaw Tribe
It is the boss of this bloodclaw greenskin tribe, the orc leader Bloodclaw!
With the shouting of blood claws, a dozen or so tall orcs in battle armor and armed with giant axes came out of several animal skin tents next to them.
Unlike other low-level greenskins, they look quite well-trained, and unlike most greenskins, their skins are black, which is the top infantry unit in the ordinary greenskins tribe - the Black Orcs!
The black orcs did not immediately attack Levi when they appeared, but some of them gathered around Bloodclaw, acting as its guard, while others turned around and ran further behind.
Levi didn't understand what the other party was doing, but he intuitively felt that there was absolutely nothing good about the other party, so he asked the ogre in front of him to shake the big flag in his hand according to certain rules, this action was not a skill, but it was a good signal that he had communicated with Hua Meisi and others before, after all, in the chaotic battlefield, not all shouts can be heard by the other party, and the flag is more obvious.
Wallace soon received the signal from Levi, and she immediately led the cavalry unit in a half-circle, avoiding the direction where the blood claws were, and began to return from the other place, of course, in the process, she inevitably killed a large number of greenskins.
Bloodclaw was furious when it saw this scene, it didn't care about its original plan, and swung the machete in its hand fiercely: "Roar, damn human, I'm going to eat you alive!" Boys, follow me! ”
After roaring, he didn't look at how many greenskins were behind him, and Bloodclaw rushed in the direction where Levi was, and at the same time, several dilapidated beast skin tents next to it were also suddenly opened, and some greenskinned guys jumped out of it and rushed behind Bloodpaw.
Levi didn't dare to be careless immediately, although he hadn't really fought with the other party in person, but he had sneak attacked a wandering team led by black orcs before, and the black orcs in it were all 4th order, or even 4th order elite strength, then this blood claw would at least be at least 5th order strength, which should not be underestimated!
"Ironwood, Burke, take your dwarven brothers to hold it off, and I'll put stone armor on you in the back!"
"Don't worry, Levi, leave it to us!"
The bearded dwarf promised with a mouthful, since receiving Levi's rune equipment, they have been working hard to improve their strength, and now they have all successfully advanced to the 4th level, and even Tiemu, who has killed the most enemies, has become an elite, and has also comprehended a special skill against the greenskins, coupled with their long-term tacit cooperation, even in the face of the green-skinned leader of the blood claw, they will definitely not be killed by the other party in a short time.
Levi then turned his head to look at his side, where the Berserker Dahl and the warrior monk Chen Cone were quietly waiting for their orders, the former because they were used to doing so, even if they became berserkers.
The latter, on the other hand, has been through too many battles recently, killing a lot of enemies, according to what he said, his combat experience is enough, as long as the special energy he has mastered, called qi, can go further, then his advancement is a matter of blink of an eye, so he is not as interested in fighting now as he was at the beginning.
However, after noticing Levi's gaze, the warrior monk Chen Cone bowed slightly, and took the initiative to make a request: "My lord, the poor monk is willing to fight with him." ”
Levi nodded slightly, for this extremely special warrior monk, he was still very relieved, the other party was simply a natural warrior, although his fists were not strong against those large-sized monsters, but when dealing with human-type creatures, even if it was a green skin that was much stronger than ordinary humans, it was often very sharp.
"Go ahead, safety first. In addition, Dahl you also follow, as long as you advance again, if your physique is further strengthened, even if you don't go back to Oak Village to find the Holy Maiden, the mixed dirty blood in your body will not have any effect on you. ”
Berserker Dahl nodded excitedly, then picked up his axe and rushed over, he was already at the 4th level, he may still not be the opponent of these black orcs in front of him when he fought alone, but with the cooperation of his companions, he would not suffer too much loss.
With the fighting of the melee troops, coupled with the fire of the ranged troops, Bloodclaw and the few black orcs that followed it were quickly and temporarily contained.
It's just that the blood claw doesn't look like an ordinary 5th-order unit, its defense and damage are a little scary, and its machete doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing, because an ordinary 3rd-order unit will be killed in an instant with almost a single knife, even if it is a survivor, there will be an extra negative state of bleeding on the body, and the health value is constantly decreasing, which forces the dwarves to retreat immediately after withstanding its one or two attacks, otherwise there is only a dead end.
And it also seems to have the ability to heal itself, the wounds left by the dwarves will not take long to heal, and in the end, Levi can only continue to send follow-up troops to follow, wanting to trap the other party first, and then give Huames and Tanatoe a chance to charge, and take it away in waves.
Because with his knowledge of the greenskin race, as long as the leader of the other party is killed, then the battle is basically over.
Well, that doesn't seem accurate, as this rule seems to work for almost all races in the chaotic camp, the undead, the nezumi, the beastmen, and the greenskins in front of you...
But things didn't go as smoothly as Levi expected, seeing that Hua Meisi and the others had already taken the cavalry troops around, several black orcs who had retreated behind them suddenly ran out of nowhere, and they were not alone at all, behind them were followed by a large group of small monsters walking upright on two legs, and they were led by them with strings of iron chains.
To put it simply, these monsters are like two large thick legs under the head of a piranha, but their size has been magnified countless times, about 1.6 meters, which is taller than the dwarven warriors under Levi's command.
Their huge mouths are full of interlaced sharp teeth, which look almost like sharks' sharp teeth, but the overall proportions of their bodies are very incongruous, and they are also very ugly, this is the monster of the Greenskin faction that specializes in infantry units, Squeegmon!
The black orcs smirked and slapped the Squiggmons with their chains a few times, and then let go of their hands, and these unrestrained Squeegmons immediately let out a strange hissing sound, their eyes turned blood-red, and they shook off their long legs and launched a charge in the direction where Levi and the others were.
Although a few of the Squiggmons didn't know if they wanted to take revenge because of the previous beating, or if they were simply looking in the wrong direction, so they rushed to those black orcs and fought with them, but the remaining Squiggmons had at least three or four squads, and once they successfully rushed in front of the dwarves, it would be a big disaster for them, because these Tier 3 Squiggmons not only have anti-infantry skills, but also charge skills!
However, Levi was not overly nervous, because he had already realized this problem, so when he was constantly improving his soul battle guilt carving technique, he deliberately made a part of the new troops, that is, the halberd soldiers who specifically restrained the cavalry units and small monster units.
And unlike ordinary Tier 2 Imperial Halberders, although these Warriors look similar in appearance to them, they are completely different in terms of attributes and other aspects, and they are all Tier 3 units with anti-charge skills, which are suitable for dealing with these Squiggs!
Levi waved his hand suddenly, and the Squiggmon, who was running excitedly, suddenly found that there were many more humans holding long weapons in front of him, but the Squigg Beast's head was not eating or eating, and they did not hesitate at all, and directly hit the long halberd like a forest.
Blood spouts gushed out instantly, although because of the powerful impact force, the front row of about a small squad of halberds was inevitably scattered, but the follow-up halberdiers successfully blocked their charge, and then a puff of spear bullets and a rain of arrows carrying flames fell on their heads, compared to ordinary green-skinned troops, these Squigg beasts are the first units to be killed.
However, why hasn't there been any movement on the Huames side?
Levi turned his head and immediately saw that something was wrong, because at the moment he was so negligent, some goblins riding gray wolves came out of nowhere, some of them armed with bows and arrows, while others were carrying scimitars.
Although their strength seems to be very average, it seems that they have not even reached the 3rd order, so even Flame Blade and Dawei can easily kill them in seconds, but their number is quite large, at least more than 4 squads.
And after they died, the gray wolves under their crotch still maintained their combat effectiveness, and they seemed to be stronger than the goblins themselves, at least the strength of the second-order elite, and even occasionally mixed with a few third-order units, they could let out bursts of wolf howls from time to time.
And every time the wolf howl sounded, the speed of the imperial knights was immediately slowed down considerably, because the horses under their crotches seemed to be frightened, and there was a lot of commotion, which forced them to calm their mounts.
But without the speed of the cavalry, the deterrent effect is greatly reduced, plus they are still in the middle of the greenskin camp, surrounded by the constant attack of the greenskins, the situation is very critical for a while, in order to protect them, this forced the strongest cavalry team in the Huames and Tanato had to turn around to carry out rescue, and this further slowed down their speed.
So by now, the entire battlefield has been roughly divided into three small battlefields, although Levi's side has the upper hand on each small battlefield, but if you want to end the battle as soon as possible, you can't do it in either direction!
"Damn, where did these goblins come from? Why have I never found them before? Isn't the Bloodclaw Tribe a pure green-skinned tribe? Could it be that these goblin wolf cavalry had done a lot of work in their previous battles to exterminate the Skaven rats? ”
Despite his quick calculations, Levi did not delay the actual command, he quickly summoned the Wind Lantern God, and asked the dwarven beast tamer to send all his animal brothers to attack the goblin wolf cavalry.
After this period of accumulation, he already has more than a squad of Tier 3 animal troops under his command, among which several of the most experienced fierce lions and piercing leopards have even been promoted to elite units, and there is absolutely no problem in dealing with these goblin wolf cavalry.
Then he issued an order directly to Huames: "Huames, don't hesitate, directly break through their interception, and kill the blood claws first!" ”
He knew that Wallace could also see the current predicament, but she was reluctant to let those imperial knights be surrounded, and then besieged to death by the surrounding greenskins, so she would turn around and go to the rescue, so let Levi give this order!
After receiving Levi's order, although he was very unbearable, Wallamis finally obeyed Levi's order and broke out with most of it, at this time Levi once again summoned a part of the halberd soldiers to fight, relying on the dwarven melee units to establish a defensive line, so that the damage caused by the enemy would be minimized.
But the blood claw, which was surrounded by dwarves on the side, was very unhappy after hearing Levi's words, and it cut down a dwarf in front of it to the ground with a machete, and then stared at Levi viciously: "You want to kill me?" I'm going to kill you first! ”
The bloodclaw roared, and the blood-red mist visible to the naked eye surrounded its body, resisting a single attack from the dwarves without incident, and then most of the blood-red mist-like energy quickly converged on its weapon, and then it swung its machete again.
In the next moment, five or six elite dwarves in front of him, including the dwarven guards who specialized in defense, were all slashed out by it, and two of the elite dwarves who had been injured before were killed on the spot, its attack was so powerful!
At the same time, a gap was revealed, and the blood claw, which had been besieged for a long time, gasped excitedly, and rushed directly towards Levi, and the berserker Dahl also tried to stop it, but now the blood claw was like a tank, and it was very easy to knock him to the ground.
Seeing that it was about to hack him to death with a knife in its hand, at this time, a shiny bald head attacked the blood claw from the side, and the sound of "bang bang bang" immediately sounded intensively, it was the warrior monk Chen Cone!
Although the damage floating on the head of the blood claw was pitiful, the orc leader, who was still unstoppable just now, was beaten back again and again by him with his empty hands at this moment, and his original power was no longer there, and the energy of its body protection did not seem to have much effect on Chen Cone.
At this time, the dwarves next to them hurriedly rushed up and surrounded the blood claws again, but this time they were all based on restrictions, and the main force of the battle was handed over to the warrior monk Chen Chong.
Levi took a closer look, and then he found the clue, it turned out that a layer of white mist-like energy was flashing above the fists of the warrior monk Chen Cone, which was his unique "qi".
Originally, he could only use it to relieve his negative status, such as poisoning and the like, but now he can attach this mysterious energy to his fists, because he has been quietly promoted in the battle just now, and he is also the first unit under Levi's command to be promoted to the 5th rank on his own, even earlier than the Flame Blade that Levi originally expected!
In addition to the improvement of attributes, the new skill that the warrior monk Chen Cone comprehended is called the explosion of qi, in addition to enhancing his attack power, he can also have a certain chance to break the enemy's energy defense, probably because of his skill, he can deal with the blood claw that has obviously exploded.
The containment of the warrior monk Chen Cone brought enough time to Hua Meisi and the others, and soon she rushed back with the cavalry troops, and the greenskins along the way were not her opponents at all, even the strongest black orcs could only remain immortal, and it was impossible to fight back.
Under her leadership, the cavalry troops went on a rampage, leaving behind green-skinned corpses all over the ground, and then the whole team split in two, most of the cavalry followed Flameblade and Davey to charge again, targeting the Squigg beasts, although their defense and health are not high, but their attack power should not be underestimated, and it should be killed first.
And Bloomus and Tanato, on the other hand, are heading straight for Bloodclaw, and as long as they kill it, the battle will be over once and for all!
