Chapter 534: The Revenge of the Tomb Kings
Before he got close to the real battlefield, looking at the majesty of the Tomb King's army from afar, Levi knew that this battle was definitely not trivial, because when he looked over, he couldn't see the side of the Tomb King's army at all, and his eyes were full of white bones and rotten mummies!
At first glance, this number is not much different from the army of Norscan pirates that the emperor faced during his Northern Expedition, 100,000, 200,000, or more?
Levi wasn't sure for a while, but he knew that this was not at the same level as the siege that Oak Town had encountered before, and these Tomb King's revenge army really sent corresponding troops according to the strength of the target!
As far as the eye could see, a large number of warriors, archers, cavalry and other units composed of skeletons and mummies continued to emerge from the yellow sand, marching in a neat formation in the direction of Nunn City.
Above their heads, flying bony vultures and carrion war eagles obscured most of the sky like clouds, but they were just ordinary cannon fodder troops.
The real elite are some of the constructs made of stone and metal, the Stone Men, the Iron Men, the Giant Scarab Beetle, and the many tomb scorpions that Orfini once made herself, but they are not the most dazzling presence on the battlefield.
What really dazzles are those behemoths that are still very conspicuous even if they are thousands of meters apart, some bone giants holding super giant bows of more than ten meters, and some super enlarged versions of sphinxes that look like sphinxes, but with extra metal wings on their bodies, a pair of forelimbs made of large knives several meters long and wide with doors, and super scorpion tails with a diameter of more than one meter and a length of tens of meters!
Looking at the green color on the scorpion's tail, Levi knew that it must still be coated with poison, but he felt that the other party might have added to the snake, because even if there was no poison, who could resist the attack of the huge tail needle more than one meter thick? Are you using Venom for the walls?
What's more, the diameter of one of its hooves is almost higher than the height of ordinary people, plus its weight of at least dozens of tons, as soon as it takes one foot, ordinary human warriors will probably be directly trampled into pulp, they are definitely at least 6th order war behemoth-level troops!
Levi originally wanted to lead his troops to charge from behind, but as soon as he saw the opponent's position, he immediately ordered his troops to slow down and prepare to wait for the reaction from the direction of Nunn City.
He wasn't cowardly, he just wanted to avoid unnecessary casualties, because this Tomb King's vengeful army led by King Lacachal was clearly not an opponent created for the Chosen Heroes alone, it was targeting Nunn, the entire city!
King Lacachal had such a powerful army, suddenly appeared outside the city, Nunn City naturally will not be completely unresponsive, for a while, the alarm bell in the city rang for a long time, a large number of aborigines and the army of the chosen heroes of God, one after another, poured onto the city wall.
I don't know who shot the first arrow, but soon all the Chosen Heroes launched an attack on the enemy outside the city, and for a while the guns and cannons were endless, and all kinds of magic were overwhelming, but Nunn's city guards didn't know why they didn't move, and those large numbers of cannons had no intention of firing at all, these guys shouldn't think that at this time, there was still the possibility of peace talks, right?
Before the Tomb King's entire army had fully emerged from the sands, King Lacachal found himself permanently losing more than a thousand of his men, and that number was rapidly expanding.
Despite the fact that the losses were all some of the lowest-level cannon fodder troops, and there were thousands of times more similar legions buried under the Nehekhara Desert, he was still furious, "Sure enough, they are all shameless thieves!" Order the Screaming Skull Trebuchet and the Bone Giants to attack now, and let these humans taste the wrath of the Tomb King! ”
According to his habit, when two sides are fighting, they must at least wait for the other side to set up their formations and inform each other of their names before officially starting the battle.
But who would have thought that the other party would not say a word, and directly started the attack, the humans in these wild places, even if they were born after a thousand years, still failed to learn what is called the etiquette of war!
But if it was Levi and other Chosen Heroes who knew his thoughts, they would definitely scoff at him, did he think he was Song Xianggong of the Battle of Hongshui? If you also set up a formation and fight, we won't play like this in the Spring and Autumn Period!
But in any case, with the order of King Lacachal, the army of the Tomb King who really launched the attack still made the Chosen Heroes on the city wall suffer a lot.
The arrows fired by the Bone Giant's super bows were even larger than the ballistas used by the normal human camp, and once they landed, a small explosion would immediately occur, which was simply an enhanced version of the power of the Medusa's explosive arrows.
Their screaming skull trebuchets are really skulls, but these skulls are not the skulls of people or animals, but some magical skulls with a diameter of about one meter, spinning and flying forward, screaming in horror along the way!
Not only do they produce a small explosion when they hit the ground, but their screams also seem to have a morale-lowering fear effect, and many troops with very healthy health are screaming and scurrying around like headless flies because of their attacks.
Those who ran backwards down the city wall were fine, and those who jumped off the wall like crazy, even if they were not killed on the spot, were quickly killed by the skeleton archers on the side of the Tomb King.
And there are also a lot of mage units on the Tomb King's side, and they are not idle, with their chanting, for a while, the yellow sand is all over the sky, the bones are flying, and all kinds of magic unique to the Tomb King emerge in an endless stream, including powerful offensive magic and summoning magic.
Combined with the Upper Bone Giant and the Screaming Skull Trebuchet, almost every salvo of their fires was able to instantly clear a fairly clean area on the city wall, and the Chosen Heroes and Aborigines on the city wall were instantly stunned, and then those summoned troops took the opportunity to occupy the city wall.
At the same time, the army of the Tomb King outside the city was also advancing extremely rapidly, although they were all skeletons, mummies, and constructs, and none of the Tomb King warriors made any shouts or cheers, but the shock and pressure brought to Nunn's side was undoubted.
Although Orfini said before that this King of Lacachal was just a very mediocre king, with so many of him, such a strong army of the Tomb King, he didn't need to have too much talent, as long as he could conduct the most basic command, it would be enough to destroy most enemies!
Levi was still directing the troops to advance towards the rear of the other side at first, but after seeing the battle situation clearly, he immediately slowed down the troops, and even stopped the troops directly, because now it is obvious that if he collides headlong like this, he doesn't know if Nunn can win in the end, but his more than 10,000 troops will definitely be thrown here!
"The whole army is on alert, don't attack for the time being, wait for my orders." While passing the order, Levi glanced at Orfini next to him helplessly.
Although he didn't speak, Ophine's instantly understood what he meant, "This is what you call just a very mediocre king?" How strong will the Immortal Emperor Setra be? ”
Of course he wasn't complaining about the other party, it didn't make any sense, he just wanted the other party to try to think back and see if they had any other flaws?
Ophini sighed lightly, and then began to frown and meditate, she now understood that sometimes the information recorded in the book was still very different from the real truth, and she could not believe all the contents of the book.
"I'll go, boss, this guy is a bit ruthless?!" The younger brothers next to him were amazed, and at the same time, they were a little glad that they were not standing on the wall of Nunn now.
Even watching from afar, they all felt a little frightened by each other's might, if it was them who were going to meet the other party's attack now, it would be really miserable.
However, the army of the Tomb King did not last long, and after a few minutes, a large group of natives appeared on the city walls, obviously not the same equipment as the other miscellaneous soldiers, and with their orders, the originally chaotic defenders, whether they were aborigines or the Chosen Heroes, began to change significantly.
Moreover, the wide variety and exaggerated number of cannons on the city wall of Nunn finally began to fight back very ferociously, the first target was those bone giants and screaming skull trebuchets, with the better range of the cannons, and the power of the two cannons at the beginning of hell, they suppressed the arrogance of King Lalchar for a while.
Levi also recognized the commander who was the leader, it was none other than one of his acquaintances, Justice Nunn, the Titan Executioner Theodore!
Levi once fought side by side with the other party outside Nunn City, against the Tzeentch Demon from the Chaos Demon Domain, although the time spent together was very short, but the relationship between the two was unexpectedly good, Levi also remembered that the other party also had a half-griffin mount, and the name was quite the middle two, it was called the Grim Reaper!
And beside Judge Nunn, there was a group of soldiers of the Aquila Knights, the first commander with a half-mask, wasn't it Reinhardt who invited Levi over this time? It seems that with the exploits established in the Northern Expedition, her status in Nunn City has also been greatly improved, and she is not just the sister of a countess, or a brilliant young swordsman.
With the appearance of the other party, a regional mission also arises, to assist Nun in resisting the invasion from the Tomb King, and after Levi took a look, he directly chose to accept.
Nunn's side also realized the seriousness of the problem this time, so they were quite generous this time, not to mention all kinds of more conventional mortar cannons, Nunn's special class of ironclad troops had five thousand exchange places, and there were also dozens of places for the Helljet Serial Cannon and Hellstorm Bazooka.
But the most important, and the most attractive to ordinary Chosen Heroes, should be the real highlight, the Tier 7 war machines - the Steam Tank and the Nunn Ironclad Land Ship!
Although looking at the nearly six-figure merit request, Levi didn't think that a few people would be able to meet the requirements, but being able to put it out for everyone to recruit without any other strings attached, was a testament to the sincerity of the other party!
With the command of Chief Justice Nunn, although still suppressed, the counterattack in the direction of Nunn finally began to take shape, and they quickly recaptured the walls occupied by the summons, and as time went on, as their various cannons continued to output, the casualties on the Tomb King's side also increased rapidly.
Compared to the bone giants and trebuchets, these advanced war machines are just as powerful, and they are more numerous, after all, this is Nunn, the largest arsenal in the entire empire, and even in the entire Old World!
But Levi knew that this was not the end, because when he was in Oak Town, the Tomb King's side sent the Tomb Scorpion and the Tomb Scarab or something, and made a surprise attack on Oak Town by burrowing into the ground, and if they hadn't arrived at that time, Oak Town would have suffered heavy losses even if it could win in the end.
Now in the face of Nunn City, whose strength is not known how much stronger, there is no reason why the king of Rakachar should not use this move, so even if Judge Nun personally commanded the battle, he did not let the army move, but kept throwing out the reconnaissance technique, trying to check the information of the other party's various troops, while waiting for that opportunity.
When there is a commotion in the city of Nunn, that's when they actually start a raid from behind!
But Levi hadn't moved yet, but King Lacachal was the first to come to the door, although they had not yet shown any intentions, but their troops of more than 10,000 people stayed here, which was a threat in itself to King Lacachal!
What's more, he is here to take revenge on the thief this time, and all humans are the target of his revenge until he finds the real target!
Looking at the oncoming tens of thousands of troops, Levi couldn't help but smile, "It seems that this King of Lacachal attaches great importance to us, and there are tens of thousands of troops coming up." ”
"Hey, hey, it's a pity that the quality is not very good, most of them are bone racks and mummies." The little brothers next to him couldn't help but laugh.
Although the low-level soldiers of the Tomb King are all low-level versions of the Heroic Spirits to some extent because of the different reasons for their production, they are different from the skeleton soldiers of the undead who are driven by evil magic, but their foundation is there, and they are basically 2nd and 3rd order troops, although there are a lot of them, but for the current Levi, they are just some experience points!
However, they can't be too careless, after all, the other party still sent some really elite, those chariots and desert cobra knights are still a little threatening, and those newly appeared wolf-headed people, armed with a pair of giant scimitars, four meters tall, taller than ogres, also have strong strength.
"Sienna, you first take the shooters to cover the fire, try to intercept the enemy's chariots and cavalry units, and then your cavalry units will go up to target snipers, and the mortar and flame artillery units will give priority to the fire of those wolf-headed high-level infantry units called Ushabit, they are basically all 4th tier elites, and they have anti-infantry characteristics, so they need to be cleaned up first."
"Orfini, those tomb giant scorpions and scarab beetles will be handed over to you and Mina and Zhou Jin, as for the remaining super big cat, first test it with the cannon of the anti-large unit, I hope the other party's movement speed will be slower...
Looking at the behemoth that is taller than two floors and has a length of more than ten meters from beginning to end, Levi also felt very shocked, ordinary cavalry can only hit the opponent's knee with a charge, and the infantry is even worse, the other party is almost like carved from a hill, this kind of monster must either be solved with war equipment, or it must use magic, if it is an ordinary army, I really don't know how many people will die.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the other party is a rare elite of the 6th order, not a monster of the 7th order, which is somewhat comforting, plus there is obviously a hero unit behind the opponent, a guy named Tomb Technician is commanding, this may become a breakthrough point, there is no hero unit as a command, there is still a big gap in the combat effectiveness that the troops can play.
Death Sphinx, Tomb King faction, Tier 6 Rare Elite, Constructed, Heavy Armor, Magic Protection, High Armor, Anti-Infantry, Anti-Large, Fear-Inducing, Terror-Inspiring Enemies, Sweep, Trample, Crush, Siege、。。。
Looking at the opponent's series of gorgeous skills, Levi knew that ordinary crowd tactics could not have much effect on it, and he had to send real elite troops to kill the hero unit on the opponent's back first, and then deal with this big guy!
