Chapter 679: Offense and Defense
One morning, the peace around them was shattered by the harpy screams of the harpy.
Immediately afterward, circles of spell light continued to spread from afar.
Many soldiers haven't even woken up yet, and they have been put on two layers of negative buffs in a row, and the taste is simply ***.
The vigilant troops on the periphery didn't have time to react at all, and this time, the army of dark elves, who had the advantage of aerial vision, grabbed the advantage of the first move.
The detection spells of the dark elf mages reveal the location of the opponent's troops.
Needless to say, the spell ballistas were directly aimed at the location with the strongest and densest red light and launched an attack.
The cannonball, which carried the light of the spell, swept wildly towards the human soldier camp opposite, and the destructive power of the explosion was not nothing short of amazing.
The spell ballista roared wildly, the dark elves' side venting the anger they had been accumulating for so long.
The periphery of the guard force did not play a warning role at all, which made the army under the command of Jacopo Alfonso directly taken by surprise.
This spell ballista is a very terrifying weapon, and every spell cannonball will cause more damage than a high-explosive shell the moment it explodes.
At the same time, in the process, there will be a series of negative emotions such as "poisoning" and "corrosion".
After a series of shelling, Vegeta signaled the artillery to stop, taking into account the remaining number of magic crystals on the front line.
Immediately afterward, a dark elf army wearing black metal light armor, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, drew their swords and rushed towards the human camp opposite.
This unit is the front row of the Dark Elves, the Dark Samurai Force!
The Dark Warriors, who were the front of the main force, rushed to the front, and behind them were the spearmen of the army.
At this time, the two dark elf troops directly formed an offensive formation, and during their attack, the dark elf crossbowmen troops in the rear, as well as the dark elf mage troops, also covered them through long-range attacks.
The sky was full of crossbow arrows, mixed with the attacks of the Dark Spear, constantly suppressing the human forces trying to fight back.
Seeing the opportunity, the main force of the dark elf side rushed directly to kill it.
A dark warrior who takes the life of a human soldier with every swing of his sword, showing a melee ability that clearly surpasses that of other elves.
At the same time, the Dark Warrior, a unit of the Dark Elves, will have a "deterrence" effect during the battle, which can constitute a definite morale blow to the enemy troops.
Although the amplitude is small, considering the heavy attack of the magic ballista before, and now with the charge of the Dark Samurai and the spearman, the superimposed effect is also quite impressive.
However, how could the general on the human side just be so stupid to watch the army under his command collapse, first brushed out a round of skills, and while forcibly stabilizing morale, the infantry battle formation quickly formed with the front-line general as the center began to suppress the fire of the dark elf troops who rushed up.
At the same time, in order to ensure his safety, Jacopo Alfonso, who did not choose to rest in this camp, but stayed in another hidden place, after confirming the news that his army camp had been attacked, the whole person also woke up instantly.
"How's it going?!"
"Back to Your Majesty, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic. As soon as the other party came up, they directly cooperated with the Harpy and the mage troops, and launched a large-scale artillery bombardment of our camp with ballistas."
Hearing this, Jacob Alfonso's face instantly became gloomy. Z.br>
The power of the magic ballista on the side of the dark elves, he has seen it, spell weapons, it is not reasonable at all.
Not to mention a head-on hit, even if you are rubbed by that attack, you will have symptoms of wound decay or even poisoning, which is called nausea.
Don't have time to think about it, Jacopo Alfonso
Hurriedly took his Royal Praetorian Guards and hurried in the direction of the army camp.
On the one hand, he deliberately arrived at the battlefield, on the one hand, because of this crucial battle, if he didn't watch it with his own eyes, he really couldn't rest assured.
On the other hand, the reason is that his buff can overlap with the buff of his commander.
In other words, when he arrives at the front line, he can further improve the combat power of the army under his command!
By the time Jacob Alfonso's buff spread to the camp, the attacked army, after an initial panic, finally stabilized and began to show true combat effectiveness.
After a round of back and forth between the troops of the two sides, Vegeta realized that it was pointless to fight any longer, and directly gave the order to retreat.
The army of dark elves receded like a tide, and during this period, the human troops affected by multiple negative buffs were also too busy to take care of themselves and were unable to pursue.
This time, the attack of the dark elf army directly caused their originally high morale to fall to the qualified line all of a sudden.
On the other hand, the dark elves who finally took a bad breath, although in the end they took the initiative to retreat, their morale has increased significantly.
In this battle, Vegeta's purpose has been achieved.
After the battle, looking at the devastated camp, Jacopo Alfonso gave orders to treat the wounded with a gloomy face, and quarantined those soldiers who showed symptoms of poisoning and corrosion.
He didn't choose to move the camp immediately, after all, it was really difficult to avoid the Harpy's aerial reconnaissance.
In the past, under the premise of having a strong fortress as the backing, it was still possible to fight defensive battles, but now, once the battlefield is transferred to the field, and then it is too much to fight a defensive battle with the army of dark elves with aerial vision, and it is impossible to defend at all.
In this environment, if you want to gain an advantage in the battle against the Dark Elf army, you can only take the initiative to grab the first mover advantage, just like they have done before.
With this in mind, after several days of rest, in order to regain control of the battle, Jacopo Alfonso's army regrouped and struck again.
But the previous successive battles also made Decker, as a dark elf general, guarded in his heart, and in the face of the layers of cordon laid by the dark elves, Jacob Alfonso wanted to succeed again, but it was not so easy.
The next series of battles, the whole battle situation, was very stalemate.
Harpys, who are air units, are extremely difficult, they only reduce their flight altitude when they launch a screaming attack, and when they act as a reconnaissance unit, they fly directly into the air, flying to an altitude that even white phosphorus bombs can't threaten.
This is simply incomprehensible for the army under the command of Jacopo Alfonso.
At this moment, the importance of air units can be said to be unmistakable.
However, after the crash of the previous five airships, it is obviously impossible for the new airships to be built and arrive on the battlefield so quickly.
This made Jacopo Alfonso's life difficult all of a sudden.
Although they could occasionally gain some upper hand in the subsequent battles, he knew in his heart that Hydra was coming, and this slight advantage was not enough for him to turn the tables.
The huge pressure cast a shadow over his heart.
Defeated?
It was something he had never thought about before.
After all, as a powerhouse in the fourth place in the Silver Rank Rankings, within this rank, who can easily let him be defeated.
But after he entered the battlefield of this all-out war, his situation changed dramatically, especially the battle in the No. 9 Sea, which became the most important turning point in this all-out war.
A breath of death was gradually spreading towards him.
However, he still has a killer feature!
As long as he can be successfully developed, then he will have a greater chance of turning the tables
Big boost!
