?? Since the outermost wall of the Black Ark had been breached by the High Elf army that was one step ahead, and the nearby Dark Elf defenders seemed to have already been killed, Levi and the others were able to easily cross the first layer of defense on the Black Ark and come to the land full of black soil and rocks.

The ground was covered with a clutter of dense vegetation, and in the distance there were black, forest-like clusters of spire-like buildings with some Gothic style, forming a town peculiar to the Dark Elves, and if someone suddenly appeared here and did not look in the direction of the sea, he probably would never have imagined that it would be a moving black ark, and more likely would have thought of it as an island.

After landing, Levi and the others could still see the back of the troops led by Princess Belinda at first, but soon, they disappeared like a wind, if Levi sent cavalry troops, it would definitely be able to catch them, but the infantry units were probably exhausted and couldn't catch up.

Obviously, those high elves are also wearing all kinds of shiny scale armor, and even some are holding two-handed giant swords and various spears and halberds, how can they run so fast? It's not even slower than the average half-elf assassin under Sienna!

As if seeing Levi's doubts, Reiner took the initiative to explain, "That's my sister's battle treasure Rapid Battle Banner, plus her battle skills can also increase movement speed, that's why it's so fast, ordinary Azul warriors can't reach this speed." ”

Levi nodded in understanding, but he seemed to be more and more able to understand why the High Elves couldn't make the initial optional race.

But what is the difference between the Dark Elves, who are in the opposing camp of them, can be used as an initial alternative race? In terms of combat effectiveness, it seems that for the time being, they are extremely powerful for humans. And the lizardmen, who are also temporarily unselectable, can be ranked with the High Elves, and what do they rely on?

But soon Levi didn't have the heart to think about it, because the Dark Elves' attacking force had arrived!

The first to arrive were at least four or five hundred obviously mutated Harpys, unlike the ones Levi had seen in the wild before, these Harpies were not only much stronger in terms of physique, but also equipped with simple and crude armor on some vital parts of their bodies, but they could indeed improve their survivability.

And their attack is relatively orderly, they are divided into several brigades, and they keep swooping down from all directions to attack Levi's troops, but they don't fight for a long time, often touching away, which makes Levi quickly understand their true purpose, they are not to pursue killing the enemy, but to do their best to delay time!

But despite this, they still annoyed Levi, who had not brought a ranged unit with him. But fortunately, their strength is low after all, even if there are no ranged units, when they attack Levi's side, the soldiers' counterattacks can easily kill them, although those extra armor can indeed improve their survivability, but their own strength is too low, for the Levi's side of the infantry at least 3 ranks, and the cavalry is even more 4 level cavalry, they often have only one chance to attack.

However, the Harpys' only once chance to be arrogant was quickly deprived of most of it, as Orfini on the other side finally adjusted her improved version of the Tomb Scorpion mount and began to sit in the space between its backs, casting the enhanced version of the Winged Staff of Crow's Feast.

After a lot of hard work, Orfini finally succeeded in turning the Tomb Scorpion into a mage-specific mount that would not affect spellcasting.

She first hollowed out the back of the Tomb Scorpion to create enough space for her to ride, and then greatly strengthened its stability at the cost of slightly weakening the Tomb Scorpion's flexibility, and then carved all kinds of special magic arrays that Levi didn't understand at all, so that she could successfully perform magic even inside the Tomb Scorpion.

From now on, if anyone wants to attack her, they must first destroy the tomb scorpion she is riding, which is literally an armored vehicle in the shape of a giant scorpion, and an armored vehicle that she can constantly use magic to repair it inside!

Therefore, although the cost has to be more than doubled, and there are quite a lot of conditions for users, Levi still asked Orfini to make them in large quantities in the future, not only for Mage units such as Mina and Zhou Jin, but also for those who have outstanding contributions in the Warden Guild.

Even further, if the quantity is sufficient, he can be used as an important strategic material and sold to other forces such as the Women's Federation that are friendly with Levi, or simply barter for those high-end items that cannot be bought with money!

"A feast for crows!"

With a coquettish cry from Ophini, a large number of energy crows appeared out of thin air, followed by some pitch-black crow-shaped souls, as she continued to use this magic, she became more and more proficient, if it was the first time to see the enemy of this move, I am afraid that for a while I really couldn't tell the difference between them.

The two colors of crows rushed towards the harpy banshees in unison, enveloping hundreds of harpies, with a series of slight explosions, these low-strength harpy banshees instantly lost nearly half, and under the siege of the crow-shaped soul in shame, those who survived the harpy may not last long.

Although the difference in size between the two is more than ten times, compared to the crow-shaped soul warp, the harpy banshees are the weaker side, and even if the current situation continues, even if Levi and them don't need to make a move at all, I'm afraid it won't take a few minutes for Orfini to kill all these harpy by herself!

But when Ofini performed the feast of crows for the second time, her face suddenly changed, "Levi, be careful, there are enemies working magic!" ”

As soon as Orfini's words fell, Levi heard a bang, and then the sky seemed to suddenly crack dozens of openings, and then a flash of lightning burning with black flames drilled out of each crack, slashing fiercely at the cavalry troops at the front.

Caught off guard, nearly twenty cavalrymen suddenly turned over and fell off their horses, falling heavily to the ground, and at the same time, Levi's system panel was permanently missing more than a dozen places, and they were directly killed by the enemy's magic!

Immediately after the ground trembled slightly, nearly one hundred and fifty cavalrymen on black war horses rushed out from both sides of a broken city wall in front of them.

Some of them were ordinary Dark Elf cavalrymen armed with spears and shields, while others were particularly striking in appearance, instead of using the spear-like weapons that best suited ordinary cavalry, they were replaced by magical short blades that emitted a dark light, and more importantly, their upper bodies were bare, without any armor, but covered in mysterious, twisted runes, like burning flames!

Behind them were more infantry, dreadspearmen armed with spears and shields, Gloomy swordsmen armed with swords and shields, black ark pirates with dual swords or scimitars and cloaked behind their backs, black crossbowmen armed with repeaters, and a few black guards armed with halberds.

This is a well-equipped, well-equipped, and well-prepared Dark Elf army, and the number is about the same as Levi's, nearly two thousand!

Otilia next to Levi suddenly exclaimed, "My lord, those are Doomsday Fire Warlocks, although they can only destroy one offensive magic spell, but they are also deadly enough!" ”

There is no doubt that she is talking about those special cavalry who are armed with short blades and do not have much protection, but are significantly faster than other cavalry, because the other dark elf troops, Levi has seen in previous battles.

Except for those cavalry units, the other dark elves did not immediately take the initiative to attack, but quickly relied on the ruined city walls to set up their formations, as if they wanted to fight a positional battle with them, which did not seem to fit the dark elves' invading and fiery character all along.

But soon everyone understood why they did this, because soon some ballistae with exaggerated shapes and intricate decorations had been pushed out, which were Reaper ballistae ballistae for siege purposes, but they were used to attack ordinary infantry units to be more effective, just like Levi had just guessed, they were here to stall for time!

But Levi didn't want to spend too much time here with them, if that Prince Tyrion was really as wise as Reiner and they said, then the final outcome of this battle was already very obvious, if he had been entangled with these ordinary dark elves, even if he won in the end, I am afraid that there would not be much gain!

So even though he hadn't figured out how so many dark elves had hidden and touched the other party so close to him before, Levi still gave the order to attack at the first time, if they just stood still here, they would have to endure the enemy's rain of arrows and ballistas in vain!

"Werner, activate the campaign skills, Davi, Flame Blade, try if you can raid those Reaper ballistas from the air, or find the enemy's commander, Reiner, give you 200 cavalry, clean up those Doomsday Flamemancers and cavalry for me, Sky Lone Star, infantry units to meet head-on, and the rest of the people are divided into two parts, follow me and Bloomus, and charge the enemy from both sides! As for those harpies and whatever, leave them all to Orfini! ”

Levi quickly issued a series of orders, and everyone immediately responded positively, because the long-term victory had already told them that as long as they followed Lord Levi's orders, there would be few defeats in battle!

Dawei and Flame Blade took the lead in riding the horned eagle beast into the air, completely ignoring the harpy in mid-air, and went straight to the place where the opponent's reaper ballista was, the strength of these harpies was too low for them, even if they stood still, the other party would not have anything to do with them in a short time.

But the other party didn't want them to be happy, and almost all of the harpies made a sharp and piercing sound, forming a small formation, trying to intercept them in front of them and hinder their speed.

The horned eagle beasts that received the order were very dismissive of them, and they rushed directly with their strong bodies, knocking the oncoming harpy to death, and the corpses of the harpies mixed with large messy feathers scattered to the ground like rain.

However, these harpies are obviously controlled by someone behind them, even if they know that they are only sent to death, they still rush forward one after another, such a dense formation is convenient for the Ou Feini below, often she can directly kill sixty or seventy harpy banshees after a group of crow feasts, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

It's just that the horned eagle beasts are a little impatient, when they used to live in the gray mountains, the objects of battle are manticores, griffins and other challenging and powerful enemies, when did even the harpy dare to attack themselves?

Almost unanimously, all the Horned Hippogriffs puffed out their chests and let out a loud cry full of intimidation, which instantly spread throughout most of the battlefield, which was exactly the skill that the Horned Hippogriff was best at dealing with low-level monsters - Intimidating Cry!

In an instant, the harpy banshees, who were still desperately sending their lives to death, were all like they had encountered the biggest nightmare in their lives at this moment, they let out chaotic and piercing screams, and could no longer maintain their original courage, and they fled around, and even many timid harpies were so frightened that they couldn't flap their wings directly, and fell straight to the ground, turning into a pool of blurred flesh and blood with a "pop".

At this moment, the dark elf commander who had been hiding in the shadows finally couldn't bear it anymore, although these harpies didn't have any great power, but if they really lost their block, those fierce big birds would rush directly to the top of his head!

"Black Sharp Crossbowmen, shoot all those Horned Eagle Beasts down for me!"

With a loud shout, a dark elf wearing black battle armor, a barbed whip in one hand, and a serrated spear in the other hand appeared, followed by five manticore-looking manticores behind him, and a small group of black guards covered in heavy armor and armed with black halberds, these lowest 5-order troops are his personal guards, which directly told everyone present his true identity, he is the commander of these dark elves, as well as those harpy banshees, a dark elf high-level beast tamer!

Unlike most of the dark elves, this high-ranking beast trainer wore heavy armor, but his bare head did not have any hair, only a few strangely shaped tattoos on it, and the whole head glittered like a large light bulb in the sunlight, which was particularly attention-grabbing.

But he himself didn't seem to be aware of the problem at all, and he just flicked his whip hard, volleying out a few pops, and at the same time letting out a series of strange cries that were not at all human.

It is also strange to say that those harpies who were originally frightened by the Hippogriffs seemed to be suddenly injected with courage at this moment, they waved their wings again, rushed towards the Hippogriffs, and seemed to have become even more courageous than before, and even a little crazy, they even dared to crash directly into the claws of the Hippogriffs, just to be able to delay their speed a little!

However, there was not the slightest smugness on the face of the high-level beast trainer, he just pointed the spear in his other hand at the horned eagle beast in mid-air with a cold face, and gave an order to the manticore lions beside him, "Up! ”

Several manticores let out a ferocious roar, and then they flapped their wings and rose into the air, joining the fight.

The high-level beast tamer secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time, with these fifth-order manticore lions as the main force, plus those harpy banshees and the black sharp crossbowmen on the ground, even in the face of a dozen horned eagle beasts, he also had enough confidence to fight!
