Chapter 271 Battle of Pigherd Town

Early in the morning, as soon as it got dark, Li Wei was already ready to go, because today, the operation they had planned for a long time would be officially launched, that is, the attack on Pigherd Town!

The indigenous people such as Michaela and Reiner have also been preparing for a long time. For this battle, they directly mobilized thousands of troops, most of which were archers, mages and priests, plus a small number of flying units.

After seeing Li Wei and the others, both parties said nothing nonsense. After nodding to each other, they boarded the Sky Slayer airship that was already ready next to them in a tacit understanding.

Levi selected 6 models this time that could accommodate 50 people, allowing his most important archer unit to join the battlefield immediately.

Cindy, Elegy and others were naturally among them, and most of the druids transformed into Storm Ravens or Storm Eagles, clinging to the raised edge of the airship.

Although they can also fly, the road from Beast Control Castle to Swineherd Town is not that short, and they are likely to face a big battle next, so it is always good to save some energy.

After the transformation, they are smaller in size and lighter in weight, which will not have much impact on the airship.

But Li Wei's griffon, the legion led by Xiao Tian and the Archon, as well as Donna and their usual mounts, do not have this honor.

The former two could only follow the airship and fly over by themselves, while the latter was directly left behind, after all, their size and weight were there.

As for most of the remaining infantry and cavalry troops, they were led by Zhou Miyin, Lisa Dilan, Julia, Simon and Luna, together with Reiner, Sun Knight, Master and others on the ground.

March and try to take a circuitous route back to the northernmost side of Pigherd Town.

Although Swineherds Town is surrounded by extremely vast swamps, it does not mean that there are really no roads at all.

There is actually a small road on the north side of Pigherd Town. The greenskins usually march from that direction, and they don't want to have to wade through the mud every time they go in and out.

It's just that under normal circumstances, if you want to conquer there, you have to spend at least five or ten times the number of troops, and you have to be constantly vigilant about possible attacks from behind, so Michaela and the others completely gave up this idea from the beginning.

Because even if you can barely win the final victory, the risk is too high and the price will definitely be high.

But it is different now. The Sun Knight and Master are not trying to capture Pigherd Town, but to guard the only passage and cooperate with Michaela and others to prevent the defenders of Pigherd Town from escaping and to be alert to possible dangers.

reinforcements, and subsequent auxiliary occupation of Swineherds Town, etc.

Of course, if the war goes well, they located in the far north can continue to move north as quickly as possible and sweep through other green-skinned villages in the north.

When the subordinates boarded the airship one after another, upon hearing an order, the drivers drove the horses pulling the carriage straight into the sky.

Accompanied by waves of low exclamations from his subordinates, the Sky Slayer airship flew hundreds of meters into the sky in the blink of an eye, which made them feel extremely strange.

Levi also felt that it was a bit interesting. This was completely different from his usual feeling of riding a gryphon, and these airships were obviously driven by magic. Otherwise, the few level 4 giant eagles pulling the carts would not be enough to pull them.

These ten-meter-long airships are more like guiding the direction of the airship.

The newly joined blood elf Sally also sighed sincerely: "Lord Levi, if I had not joined your command, I would never have had such an opportunity."

After being subjected to multiple blockades including military, economic and magic, the blood elves not only lost their magic inheritance, but also couldn't even make decent armor or weapons. It's not that they don't have this technology, it's just because

They have no channels to obtain the ores as materials.

As for ballistas and trebuchets, there is no need to think about them, let alone such more powerful war tools.

Levi smiled: "Oh, is this just your goal? I think you can broaden your horizons, for example, a certain fire element scholar over there."

Following his line of sight, Sally also saw Michaela, who was riding a sub-adult phoenix, escorted by some giant eagle and griffon knights.

She was originally dressed in fiery red high-end equipment. Against the backdrop of the phoenix, she looked even more heroic. Especially the mount under her butt was the most eye-catching one in the entire sky.

Sally was stunned immediately: "A fire element scholar?"

As a blood elf who is best at fire magic, she would certainly not be unaware of the meaning of this word. It can basically be considered as the ultimate pursuit of their entire race.

It's a pity that she hasn't heard of any clan members being able to change jobs into it for at least a hundred years, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Master Li Wei, you really think highly of me."

Levi was noncommittal: "At least, you need to set an ambitious goal first, and then you have the motivation to move forward, right?"

Most of the aborigines only have a higher starting point, but compared to the God-chosen heroes who have to go through more than one battle every day, their lives are still too comfortable, so their speed of becoming stronger will never be as fast as the God-chosen heroes.

.

But now that she has chosen to follow Levi, Sally will never be as comfortable as she was before. She has to participate in more than one battle almost every day!

Sally was stunned again, and then she nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand, Lord Levi!"

Although at first she chose to follow Li Wei in order to repay the kindness of saving her life and because she had nowhere to go, but now it seems that the man she is loyal to has huge ambitions that she cannot imagine.

!

With such emotion in her heart, she had not yet truly realized what the future she would face would be like.

While speaking, the Sky Slayer airship had already crossed a distance of several miles. Its speed was not only much faster than that of an ordinary galloping horse, but it was not much different from the flying speed of the giant eagles themselves.

This further confirmed Levi's guess that this thing was definitely powered by magic.

Not long after, the Pigherds Town in the distance was already in sight. Levi also took out the token Sobek had given him before and held it firmly in his hand.

Although they are coming with force this time and it is an air force raid, Sobek's reinforcements are also a very critical point in this battle. Otherwise, they will only raid and plunder at best, rather than occupy.

As they continued to get closer, they could gradually see some moving green dots in Swineherds Town, which were the green skins that got up early one after another.

Donna and others also clenched their weapons and prepared to fight. Levi and Cindy even began to use summoning and auxiliary magic.

After continuing to advance for some distance, suddenly, a small group of harpies rose into the sky. I don't know if it was a pure coincidence or a routine reconnaissance, but they all quickly discovered their own air force.

A shrill cry suddenly rang out: "Enemy attack!"

But both Michaela and Levi smiled, because the distance is now close enough, and it doesn't matter even if they are discovered by the enemy!

Levi immediately activated Sobek's token. With a low roar, Sobek's shadow appeared in mid-air. After grinning at Levi, the phantom disappeared in a flash.

Then there was only a flash of light, and somewhere in the swamp below, the mud suddenly boiled, then exploded, and a mud vortex nearly a hundred meters in diameter appeared on the spot.

Hundreds of large crocodiles with majestic scales and strong bodies poured out of it. After a slight pause, they seemed to be confirming the direction and target of attack, or accepting Sobek's instructions, and then they went crazy.

launched a charge towards Pigherd Town.

Among them are not only the ferocious crocodiles and crocodile warriors that Levi has known or recruited before, but also some more powerful crocodile warriors, as well as many kinds of extremely large crocodile war monsters.

The most eye-catching thing is a super giant crocodile with extremely swollen muscles. It is at least two meters high and more than ten meters long. Its head alone is larger than that of ordinary people.

Probably because it was summoned indirectly by Levi, he was able to see its general information. Its name is Emperor Crocodile, and it is a 6th-level soldier.

Then there are the Thorn Crocodile with sharp bone spurs all over its body, the Iron-eating Crocodile with gray-black scales shining like metal, and the Spider Crocodile with four pairs of slender claws.

There are so many kinds, at least twenty or thirty types.

More importantly, each type of crocodile seems to have a corresponding crocodile man. When the leader of the crocodile man is upright, he is taller than ordinary ogres or minotaurs, and one arm is thicker than Levi's waist. It seems to be exactly the same.

Transformed from Emperor Crocodile.

In addition, there are some with simple marks or totems on their bodies, some processed crocodile teeth, Sobek's emblem carvings, etc. They look like guys from legal units.

The reason why I say they look similar is because their size and the weapons in their hands are no different from those of the crocodile warriors. If anything, they may be similar to battle priests like Cindy.

But regardless of their profession and strength, this swampland that has troubled the elves for a long time is like flat ground to them.

Almost in the blink of an eye, before the greenskins in Pigherd Town had time to react, they were already approaching quickly.

At the same time, Sobek didn't know if he had listened to Levi's previous words. Forget about the crocodiles, quite a few of the crocodile people held radiant magic weapons in their hands, and some even carried some magic props.

Judging from Li Wei's inference, Sobek probably temporarily opened his treasure house in order to win today's battle with dignity.

The abilities of those crocodile priests also surprised Levi. Since the time was relatively short, they only showed two kinds of spells after their appearance, one of which could suddenly increase the speed of crocodiles or crocodile men by a large amount.

Another one can actually turn dead wood and the like everywhere in the swamp into giant crocodiles, and Levi can be sure that it is definitely not an ordinary illusion.

Seeing how they are working so hard, how can Levi and the others be willing to lag behind? After all, these giant crocodiles are just reinforcements, they are the real main force in this battle!

Following Michaela's sweet shout, all the Sky Slayer airships continued to fly towards the top of Pigherd Town. Before they were far away, a large number of arrows were already shot downwards.

Everyone, including Donna, had to admit one thing. This kind of shooting from a high position, vision and accuracy were far better than ordinary moments.

At this time, the greenskins in the town became more and more confused. They seemed not to have expected to face such an attack, but they still put up some resistance.

The most direct thing is that small groups of greenskins began to gather and began to fight against the crocodile men rushing from the direction of the swamp. More harpies quickly took off, seemingly wanting to kill Levi and the others.

to conduct a raid.

But before Michaela could order the giant eagle or knight to attack, Levi had already taken action.

As he cast the spell, a large purple thundercloud had formed, covering more than 90% of the harpies.

Not only did this affect their sight to a certain extent, they heard a crisp sound and a bolt of lightning flew out of the thundercloud and directly penetrated several harpies.

Then, as if in response to it, more thunder and lightning began to strike at the harpies below, and for a moment the thunder and lightning seemed like rain.

Although the attack power of these thunder and lightning was not too high, at least none of the harpies were killed directly, but they fell straight down one by one as if their wings were paralyzed.

Judging from this height and their fragile bodies, once they actually hit the ground, it would be difficult for them to survive the fall damage alone.

This is the level 4 magic - Thunder Cloud Technique that Levi has mastered that is specially designed to target flying creatures. In the past, he mostly operated in the dark area and never had its turn to appear, but now it has truly shown its power.

Seeing this scene, Mikaela in front couldn't help but smile. She didn't ask the flying troops to take action, but just asked some wind mages to take action.

As a result, several cyan whirlpools with a diameter of more than ten meters were formed. Even if the remaining harpies escaped Li Wei's Thunder Cloud Technique, their flying ability was soon seriously affected by these whirlpools.

Countless tiny wind blades flew out of the whirlpool, splitting their bodies and wings. Even those who occasionally survived would be easily killed by their magic.

While they killed these harpies, the crocodile people also rushed forward with many crocodiles and started fighting with the greenskins' makeshift defense force.

Although the greenskins never thought that they would be attacked from this direction, Pigherd Town is a town after all, and it is the most important stronghold of the Red Cloud Tribe. It may not even be one of them. They still built a large number of fortifications here.

It is not a simple wooden structure, but all are solid stone buildings.

Although it is obviously much inferior to the brilliant defense facilities in Ash Ridge Town, it is still very powerful. Even if the reinforcements sent by Sobek include level 6 troops, they cannot be broken through in the blink of an eye.

Of course, they destroy buildings very quickly. Without the interference of green skins, they would be able to smash out a passage in just a few minutes.

But Levi still felt that it was not fast enough, so he began to use ice storm to assist the crocodile people.

Donna commanded the archer troops to carry out targeted sniping. Once greenskins gathered in any direction, or a commander appeared, she would immediately cover them with arrows, making sure to stop them.

Not long after the war started, although it was still early for the battle to end and the system had not yet conducted detailed statistics, but with her experience, in such a short period of time, she had killed at least 3 warrior-type God-chosen heroes or heroes.

There is no other reason, simply because the equipment on their bodies is more conspicuous and they are more resistant to beatings.
