Chapter 424: Pursuit
Anyone who has experienced the war knows that if a group of fleeing soldiers appears in the army and there is no strong commander to stop it, it will quickly turn into a rout of the entire army.
Now, both the three demon generals and the Great Demon King of Vic are trapped in the demon realm, and there is no commander on the demon side on the field who is enough to convince the public. Therefore, after the demon soldiers discovered the escape of the demons in the rear, they soon lost their fighting spirit and chose to flee together.
Although demons are not human, they do have a herd mentality. What's more, the wind direction of the entire army is to flee, and even a few demons who want to fight to the death have been coerced by the large army and started to flee.
If you really don't know whether you are alive or dead, you may even be killed by your own people because you are in the way of other demons escaping. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that there are still about two thousand demon forces that have begun to break out.
Seeing the demons that had been relentlessly attacking their camp retreat like a tide, the blood elves first breathed a sigh of relief, and then became excited.
It's better than worrying about whether the demons will break through the defenses and put their home and the great Well of the Sun at risk. The demon soldier who is running away wholeheartedly is more able to be a good target than before.
Relying on the characteristics of the Demon Festival technique and the passive and active mana recovery of the Blood Elf Witch, all Blood Elf mages will not fall into a situation of lack of mana. A large number of blood elf mages are more energetic than before, and they are working hard to cast magic and harvest the lives of the fleeing demons.
And as a melee unit, the Sword Dancer and the Scarlet Knight. It's going to be a lot harder. After struggling to stop the previous demon's onslaught. Now you have to take the initiative to chase down the demon soldiers who have fled.
Fortunately, the Blood Elf Witch Army, which had been busy restoring the magic power of a large number of Blood Elf Mages or restricting the occasional breakthrough of the demons in the defense line, also had their hands freed up at this time, and Qi Qi began to cast a slowdown spell on the Demon Troops.
The Blood Elf Witch's slowing skill is very powerful, and it can directly cut down the enemy's movement speed. Especially for those elite-level Blood Elf Witches, the movement speed of all demons in a small area was greatly reduced as soon as the hand was raised, causing all the demons in a small area to move at a great speed.
When the frontal has already entered hand-to-hand combat, most of the ordinary-level blood elf witches can be said to be difficult to do, and the slowdown skill is when the enemy is already close during the positional battle. It doesn't have much effect.
Only the Blood Elf Witch, who has reached the elite and elite levels, can make a great contribution by using the Sheep Transformation Technique to limit some enemies that are advancing with strong momentum and restore mana to allies.
But when such enemies begin to flee and positional warfare turns into pursuit warfare, the role played by the Blood Elf Witch cannot be ignored. The cooldown of the slow skill is very fast, and every ten seconds, a demon will fall into a state where his movement speed is halved for half a minute, which makes them extremely troubled as they are trying to escape.
Moreover, the casting distance of the slowdown skill is not very short, and most of the blood elf witches have chosen to apply a slowdown effect to those demons running at the front. In this way, although most of the demons cannot be taken care of for the time being, it can still play a role in slowing down the escape speed of the entire demon army.
As the Blood Elf Witch cast a hard time, it slowed down. The melee units on the Blood Elf's side also began to pursue the demons with the blessing of the priest.
At the forefront were the fast-moving Scarlet Knights. The entire Scarlet Knight force formed an arrow-shaped charge. As the arrows were the lancers and the only Bloodfury Knight, Singilli.
Originally, Yu Fei was going to let these knights come out to give the demon side a fatal blow when they launched a counterattack at the back of the day, but he didn't expect the situation on the field to change rapidly, and the demons were inexplicably defeated so quickly.
Fortunately, the Scarlet Knight troops were ready to attack and defend their homeland at any time, and they were not caught off guard under Yu Fei's orders, and quickly lined up to pursue the demons.
Although the spearmen at the front turned on the enhanced blood charge skills, they also deliberately slowed down so as not to be out of touch with the rest of the knights who only had general charge skills; Behind the cavalry units are all the Sword Dancers, who can deal damage to multiple targets at the same time, making them an excellent class for harvesting enemy lives in a dogfight.
Because the demons fleeing in front are slowed down by a large number of slowing skills, the demons that were originally charging at the front and now lagging behind are blocked by these "allies" whose speed has slowed down to the original level. Even if they were able to put their hearts into killing the demons in their way, it would be difficult for them to break free from their shackles for a while because of the wide range of slowdowns.
The Scarlet Knight in the charge, with all his backs to him and no one to fight back or try to interrupt the charge of the cavalry troops, fully showed his strength.
After a short period of charge, the damage of the Scarlet Knights has been greatly enhanced, and the damage of the lancers who have opened the Bloody Charge has been increased to more than twice as much. After breaking into the demon forces that had no intention of resisting, the spears in the hands of the cavalry pierced through the bodies of the demons, turning them into their own experience.
After the charge, the cavalry unit damage bonus is only once, and then the Scarlet Knights can only attack with their own attributes. Only a small number of Lancers have reactivated their spear thrust skills and continue to deal considerable damage.
However, although the effect of the charge was only one round, it also brought three or four hundred casualties to the fleeing demons. Xin Jili, who had opened the state of blood rage, rode alone through the bodies of more than ten demons, and the results were remarkable.
After the cavalry charge, it was time for the sword dancers to show their strength. One by one, the agile sword dancers quickly burst into the demon army, using their dual swords, homeopathic slashes, and even constant sword dances to inflict a lot of damage on the enemy.
The elite-level sword dancers rushed faster than the scarlet knights, relying on the Jumping Blitz skill to directly flash into the demon team, relying on the constant sword dance state to launch a slaughter of the demons around them.
Unlike ordinary sword dancers, who also need to worry about being injured by demon counterattacks, elite-level sword dancers are all sword masters, and the existence of sword curtain skills allows them to easily block the demons' possible counterattacks and devote themselves to killing.
The elite-level Blood Elf Priest also deliberately applied Bloodlust and Psychic Fire to these sword masters, allowing their output ability to be exerted to an extreme.
Although the damage dealt by the hundreds of sword dancers was not as high as that of the cavalry units blessed by the charge at the beginning, the results achieved later were much greater than those of the cavalry. Some ordinary-level sword dancers even advanced directly in battle, becoming elite-level sword dancers, slaughtering fleeing demons faster.
However, relatively speaking, the defense of the cavalry unit was stronger, and in the face of some demons who saw that they could not escape smoothly and fought back, they did not suffer any losses; And the Sword Dancer, whose armor was so low that it was almost none, had already shown some damage.
This made Yu Fei a little angry. It is still more convenient for the Night Elf Archers, although the Archer may be lower than the Sword Dancer in terms of output, but in terms of security and fire suppression, the Archer is more cost-effective.
This is still a downwind pursuit battle, and a small number of sword dancers have been lost, if it were in those more tragic battles, I am afraid that only half of the sword dancer troops would be left after a battle. Of course, the damage they can do is definitely more than their own losses.
On the battlefield, there is a stark contrast between the elite sword dancers who are at ease and the average sword dancers who are constantly injured and even killed. Thinking of the gap between the elite-level blood elf troops and the ordinary and elite-level troops in the rest of the blood elf witches, priests, and blood knight troops, Yu Fei had a kind of realization in his heart.
The blood elf race may not be able to fight as large-scale as the night elves. (To be continued......)
