Chapter 15 No Discipline and Clever Schemes
This time, I can finally go into battle in person.
Although the minotaurs were brave, Edward was not polite, and as soon as the big fireball went up, he burned two minotaurs and one minotaur overseer to death, and he couldn't run away even if he stood so densely.
In addition, Edward's side has the advantage that he also has a number of cursed mages who can provide assistance from a distance, and there are also all-terrain troops such as ebony spiders that can assist in attacks.
Edward led two of his undead warrior men all the way through, and it was simply unstoppable.
At this time, Edward's subordinates realized that Edward was actually a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, and he was not only good at undead magic, but also good at fire magic.
While the undead didn't have a big morale boost, the miner guards were demoralized.
Originally, Edward wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but he didn't expect the minotaurs to give up their weapons and surrender.
"What's going on?" Edward was puzzled, but waved his hand to stop the attack.
"What about the High Dark Mage?" Edward was actually on the lookout for the enemy's high-level dark mages all the time.
As a result, after asking, I found that the high-level dark mage named Portland had already run away, and without a leader, it was already very good that the minotaur could hold on and not fall.
Edward completely overestimated the shamelessness of the Dark Elves.
Although Portland, as a high-level dark mage, relaxed his vigilance when he was assassinated, the magic shield on his body was still activated in time, but the Stalker Morrigan was equipped with a weak magic dagger, which could reduce the defense of the magic shield.
Of course, this time was enough for Portland to react, but at that time, he didn't have time to cast other magic to resist, so he could only use the dark double technique to escape.
Although he escaped, he almost died just now, but it scared his guts.
However, he thought that the Dark Elf Clan had sent troops, and he planned to cheer up and stabilize the situation, after all, if he lost the Mithril Mine Cave and returned to the Dark Council, he would probably be punished and executed.
I didn't think that I had just come out of the room where I had placed my double, but I met Morrigan and Lively who came to intercept the dark mage.
This surprised him, but he didn't expect that it was the undead who attacked the Mithril Mine.
Didn't the army of the Dark Council just go out for a short time?
As a dark elf, it is natural that he does not understand the terrible efficiency of the undead.
Just defeated the army of the Dark Council, Edward set off with his troops the next day, and basically launched a raid on the mine without rest the next night, anyway, for the undead there is no need to rest at all.
That way, hell if Portland could think of it, well, he really did.
The shock, coupled with the fact that Portland himself was wounded, and who knows how many troops the undead had dispatched.
Anyway, Portland has no intention of coexisting with the Mithril Mine, even if he goes back and is questioned, it is a big deal to surrender to other Dark Elf clans, anyway, his strength is here.
(That's how undisciplined the Dark Elves are.) )
So Portland struck Morligan and Lively as they were found.
Fortunately, the Dark Mage is not very good at damage magic, preferring field control and curse weakening magic, even if it is damage magic, it is the kind of continuous damage.
Moreover, the powerful magic has a lot of movement, and the casting time is not small, so there is no way to ambush at all, so Portland did not kill Morligan and Lavery at once when he made a move.
Then Lavery transformed into an evil spirit form in time, and let a few elite resentful spirits be cannon fodder, which is also an advantage of the undead, that is, to be cannon fodder, the undead soldiers did not hesitate at all.
This is also because the two were caught off guard by being ambushed, so they fled passively.
Although Portland was of the highest rank, he was seriously injured, and he didn't want to stay in this dangerous place, so he solved the resentment of the queen and ran away on his own.
Without Portland's leadership, if the Minotaurs had encountered the forces of the Dark Elves, they would have surrendered long ago, but on the other side were the evil undead, who desecrated the corpses of the dead, and looking at their murderous appearance, they did not seem to intend to take prisoners, so that the Minotaurs had the courage to resist.
However, the Minotaur Fermi led the Minotaur to surrender, and it seems that he was not killed, but was given preferential treatment.
In this way, the minotaur finally dared to descend.
Originally, the Minotaur overseer who stepped forward wanted to surrender, but he didn't expect Edward to release a big fireball technique without saying a word, which made the Minotaur depressed for a while, but fortunately, the Minotaur behind him surrendered in time, so as not to cause a bigger misunderstanding.
Edward arranged for Sephiroth, a dark elf-turned-maid, to take care of the newly surrendered captives.
According to statistics, a total of thirty-four minotaurs were captured.
Among them are eight elite minotaur guards and two minotaur overseers.
Also capture a Dark Elf mage hiding under the mines.
The number of other miner slaves was nearly two hundred, and the number of dead slaves was also close to a hundred.
The most important Minotaur slaves were sixteen in total, two of whom had just been killed in battle, and the rest were replaced in time, so there were fourteen Minotaurs left.
However, not all of these fourteen minotaurs were fifth-level minotaur warriors, most of them were minotaur civilians.
Others are underage minotaurs, such as Fermi.
These minotaurs were originally the spoils of the Dark Council, but most of the captured minotaurs refused to obey the discipline, and the Dark Council reduced them to slavery, ready to wear their will, and then subdue them.
Because the Dark Elf Soul Murmur Clan took refuge, he transferred some of the Minotaur slaves to the Dark Elves, and then Fermi was sent to the Mithril Mine Cave that had just been occupied by the Dark Council with his companions.
"Didn't you go to the nearest minotaur tribe? What about Alista? How is he? Edward asked anxiously.
"We were going to join the Warrior's Hoof tribe, but we didn't expect that it had already been attacked by the Dark Council, and we happened to crash into the army of the Dark Council, and under the siege, the people of the Dark Council wanted to capture us alive. Those miscellaneous members of the Dark Council have gassed us and paralyzed us with magic, and our people are all good, but they have been caught by the people of the Dark Council. Although the little Minotaur Fermi grew taller than Edward, now there were tears in the bull's eyes, and it seemed that the tribesmen had been arrested, which made the little Minotaur very sad.
"Alista, yes, Edward, you're Alista's friend, you need to save him." Fermi suddenly thought of something, took Edward's hand and said excitedly.
"Calm down Fermi, Alista is my friend, I'm sure I'll go back and save him, but you have to tell me where to save him first." Edward reassured.
"He's in another mine not far away, and I know it's called Molière, and we've been sent together. You've got to save him, he's always rebelling against the minotaur overseers, so Arista has been beaten a dozen times, and you've got to get to save him. Fermi seemed a little incoherent.
Hearing that Alista was beaten, Edward's fists tightened, although the little bullaur was stupid, but the two of them said that they would be brothers, and the two also agreed to become legendary powerhouses together, and then find Marquez's account, but now they heard the news that their good brother was captured as a prisoner.
"Save him, of course I have to save him, Fermi will immediately send troops to save my good brother when I solve the enemy in front of me." Edward raised his fist, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
Although his heart is hot, he can't wait to save Alista immediately, but the enemy in front of him still has to be solved, and his mind must remain clear.
Edward approached the captured dark elf mage and stared at him earnestly.
"Your Excellency." The dark elf mage immediately smiled flatteringly.
"Do you know how to act?" Edward asked suddenly.
"Huh?" The dark elves were stunned for a moment, but in the end, they were used to being villains, and they would not learn such things as acting, so they immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the little ones can act, do you want to see the evil dragon and the elf housemother, or do you want to watch ......"
"Stop, I'm asking you to do this...... Do you understand? Edward looked at him viciously.
"Ahh The dark elf mage was taken aback, and originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Edward's face, he immediately gave in.
"Got it, got it." The dark elf mage replied with a bitter face.
What did Edward want?
In fact, this is his strategy, a strategy of "inviting the king into the urn".
Through these surrendered captives, Edward had learned that the troops that appeared to be reinforcements were nothing more than troops that were regularly responsible for transporting slaves and baggage.
Of course, this army also has another important mission, which is to transport back the Mithril ore from the Mithril Mine.
In a normal configuration, this escort unit is led by a level 5 lizard knight squad leader with ten lizard cavalry, plus a squadron of dark elf stalkers.
Stalkers are actually a class exclusive to women of the Dark Elves, where women are much stronger than men, perhaps because they are favored by the Dark Dragon Masala.
Stalkers attack with ringblades, which are also infused with a dark curse that deepens wounds and causes their opponent's limbs to decay.
That's why there's a famous saying that don't try to run away from the hunters, because you can't escape from them at all, and you'll lose your hands and feet.
These stalkers are all third-order elites, but curses have little effect on the undead, so one-on-one is easy to solve, but fifth-level lizard cavalry is a problem.
These lizard cavalry are not only high-level, but they are also powerful and very flexible.
If you are tough, don't say that you can't beat it. Even if you can beat it, the other party will run, and you can't catch up with others when they run.
When they run away, make sure to lead a vote of the enemy over, and Edward will be unlucky.
So you have to wipe out all these enemies, and you have to make it impossible for these lizard cavalry to escape.
As for killing the other party, aren't there still fourteen minotaurs here? After replenishing food and cultivating, I believe that even if you can't beat the other party alone, you will definitely be able to succeed in the group fight.
Coupled with the fact that Edward's forces occupy the top, if they can ambush and then engage in a melee, the cavalry that has lost the distance advantage will definitely not be the opponent of the Minotaur and the War Commander.
Now that the enemy is like an urn, I don't know how this dark elf mage is acting?
