Chapter 281 Entering the Haunted Town(1/3)
With the departure of many God-chosen heroes such as the Sun Knight, the number of large troops was quickly reduced. Probably because the military rank was high enough and the relationship with Mikaela was not bad, so some mages such as Master and Sui Feng also
All stayed.
Not to mention Levi, Michaela treats him the same as she treats other God-chosen heroes. Now she will basically think of him when anything good happens, and she will share a lot of information with him.
However, Master gradually became a little confused, because together with the aboriginal troops, their large army now has about five to six thousand.
With so many people gathered together, it might not be a simple raid on a small village, right?
So after removing all the impossibilities, no matter how incredible the rest is, it is still a fact.
He couldn't help but asked with a little excitement: "Levi, are we going to attack the haunted town now?"
Levi laughed, and there was no need to hide anything now: "Yes, I guess Michaela will explain the situation to everyone later."
Master suddenly became more and more excited, but then he couldn't help but frown: "Then do we have enough troops? It is a town after all."
He was a little confused about Mikaela's operation. If he wanted to attack the town, why would he spread his troops out?
Although Li Wei also believed that a lion must fight a rabbit with all his strength, but since Michaela made such a decision, there must be her reasons.
She must have been worried that there would be green-skinned reinforcements from other directions to interfere, so she sent those chosen heroes out to attract attention.
This is not completely impossible. It is said that the beast's blood boiled and drove away all the green-skinned native defenders who were originally entrenched here. So when they noticed the battle taking place here, it was indeed possible that they would come and take advantage of it.
Mikayla was well prepared.
So Levi explained a little bit: "It doesn't matter. The Haunted Town is different from other towns. It is already in a semi-abandoned state and its defense is very weak. Our strength is enough."
There was no need for him to tell the information about the bugbears now. Anyway, the other party would naturally understand it after a while.
Seeing that Levi seemed a little worried, Master also knew that he must have something to say, but since Levi didn't want to say it for the time being, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask for more information.
Anyway, let's hang out with Li Wei first. If the enemy's resistance is strong, he will probably not be able to work hard. He is still very good at fishing.
After continuing for a while, when the shape of a small town appeared in the distance, the other chosen heroes more or less understood something, and they all suddenly became excited.
I thought I was enjoying the autumn breeze with the aboriginal people, but now it seems that they are not only here to drink soup, but also to eat meat!
Michaela immediately ordered the troops to slow down and prepare to take a rest in the open space a few miles in front of the town, replenish supplies and physical strength, etc., so as to prepare for the next battle. At the same time, she was also waiting for that special moment
arrival.
At this time, she no longer hid, and officially issued the task of attacking the haunted town to all the chosen heroes.
Levi also took advantage of the opportunity to take a look at the defense facilities of the haunted town.
Not to mention, it's really bad. I thought that the defense facilities in Swineherds Town were relatively poor among many towns, but I didn't expect that there were even worse ones here.
Except for some arrow towers that are still intact, the entire town exudes a broken atmosphere from the inside out.
The city wall was originally only three or four meters high and was still in disrepair. Huge holes could be seen almost everywhere. With this appearance, except for the level 2 spearmen who found it difficult to climb up, ordinary level 2 rangers could easily cross it.
Bar?
Coupled with the information that Michaela knew, it's no wonder that she dared to attack with only such a small number of troops, plus her own divinely chosen heroes, because this siege battle would not be too bad no matter how you look at it.
It's difficult.
When they were in Pigherd Town, the crocodiles and giant crocodiles under Sobek's command failed to break through the town's defenses in one fell swoop, and Mikaela needed help.
But if it were the haunted town in front of them, Levi had no doubt that they would be able to easily defeat it in minutes.
However, the greenskins inside should have already discovered their advance, so at this moment, the city walls were so densely packed with bugbears that they couldn't even be seen. Levi didn't know exactly how many there were at the moment.
He knew very well that these must be most of the families whose blood was boiling. After all, the green-skinned natives did not have any channels to recruit bugbears.
Not to mention, these big guys who look like a mixture of goblins and grizzly bears are quite oppressive when their numbers increase.
It's a pity that bugbears have never been good at long-range attacks. They mostly use heavy weapons such as clubs or maces. Now that the distance between the two sides is so far, even if their own side is resting, they can only stare.
But at this moment, along with a series of piercing screams and the sound of flapping wings, a large group of black harpies rose up in the haunted town.
Without any hesitation at all, they flew straight towards the Sky Slayer airship in mid-air, and the greenskins actually took the initiative to attack them!
Levi was immediately shocked, because at a rough glance, the opponent's number was close to two thousand. Although the average strength of the harpies was very weak, with this level of numbers, they could be considered a considerable threat.
Moreover, they had seized the opportunity so cleverly. It was obvious that they had been closely observing their own movements through some special method.
In addition to the harpies, there are hundreds of gray-white soldiers that are somewhat similar to demons or giant bats. Those are gargoyles.
Gargoyles can be roughly divided into two types, one is a movable statue belonging to the mechanical system, and the other is some kind of living creature.
Levi is not yet sure which category these guys belong to, but he knows that they all have both physical and magic resistance, and are relatively resistant to beatings among the 2-3 level troops.
Then there are more than half a hundred, the Dapeng, one of the green-skinned guard units.
Dapeng itself does not have any special abilities. Their biggest feature is that their various basic attributes are very balanced and excellent, with no obvious shortcomings. Even if they fall to the ground, they can still fight for several rounds with the same level 4 infantry units.
.
But the real threat is the one at the front. There are nearly twenty monsters with the body of a male lion, strong bat wings, and a long scorpion tail behind the buttocks, and are five or six meters long.
They are level 5 flying units - Manticores. In addition to their powerful attack power, their minions and manticore tails are also highly poisonous.
It is said that its advanced unit, the level 6 poisonous manticore, can release special toxins that have a chance of paralyzing the enemy. In addition, they are flying units, making them very difficult enemies.
As soon as he saw them appearing, Levi knew that there might be something wrong with Michaela's intelligence. It was probably last night that Beast Blood Boiled and further sent reinforcements to the haunted town.
Originally, Michaela thought that there were only bugbears among them. Once that condition was triggered, the strength of the defenders would be greatly weakened.
But now it seems that things have undergone some new changes.
Michaela also frowned a little, but she immediately ordered her troops to prepare for the attack. Even if there was an accident, it was still within her control.
Levi also gave orders to everyone on the Sky Slayer. At the same time, he felt a slight commotion in the battle griffins under his crotch, and he obviously noticed the existence of those manticores.
Levi could clearly see that many of the feathers on its neck were standing up, and its eyes had become much sharper. It was obvious that it was eager to fight with the opponent.
It is said that the manticore is the mortal enemy of the griffons. In addition to the fact that the two have similar strength and similar habitats, they often compete for survival in the wild. What's more, their personalities are very different, and they can even be said to be opposites.
Griffins often advocate frontal attack. In addition to maintaining absolute loyalty to their masters, they always hold their heads high most of the time. Therefore, many people think that they symbolize honor and bravery, and this is indeed the case.
But these manticores prefer surprise attacks. Specifically, they first use their poison to weaken the enemy, and then slowly kill the opponent. Moreover, they are not loyal to their masters and will bite back their masters many times.
Not a few.
So over time, the two races have accumulated a lot of hatred. The griffins have become very keen on challenging manticores to a duel. Although they basically lose more and win less, it is said that once they succeed, their chances of advancement will be greater.
The amplitude increased.
But now Levi could not let the other side fight, because on the backs of more than a dozen manticores, there were still greenskins and bugbears holding battle axes, swords, staffs or spears.
Even though he had never fought against each other, he was almost certain that the other party was a heroic unit, including divinely chosen heroes and aboriginals, judging from the equipment that shone with magic.
When they started spitting out the fragrance, they directly asked Li Wei to confirm their identities. After all, even if the aboriginal people cursed, they would not curse so dirty easily.
But he wasn't very angry. What was there to be angry about when someone was about to die?
However, the weapons used by several of the bugbears made him feel a little surprised.
The manticore is five to six meters from head to tail. Can you really fight this kind of aerial combat with a mace and mace over one meter long?
But this thought fleetingly passed in his mind. He also piloted the gryphon to take off in an emergency, preparing to cast magic. At the same time, the 15 giant eagles he had recruited before were also guarding him. Xiaotian took the Yakons temporarily.
Guards are on the left and right sides of the Sky Slayer airship.
Many mages in the Arcane Temple also took action, and a large amount of buff magic began to be released for free. Master even personally led several mages with flying mounts and a part of the air force to follow Levi.
, prepare to fight alongside them.
Although they are mainly composed of golems, they have gradually begun to change the composition of their troops recently, so they have also recruited and trained part of the air force.
As the enemy approached, some impatient God-chosen heroes on the ground had already taken the lead in ordering their troops to start shooting, but because the harpies flew high enough, few of these arrows could successfully hit.
Many Sky Slayers began to move slowly backwards. Their defense and health were very strong, but there was no need to take risks here. Not only were the Sky Slayers themselves very expensive, but also because they carried a large number of troops, and there was no room for them.
accident.
The winged elves as reinforcements stepped forward slightly and started shooting. Their attack power was not high, but at least it was enough to deal with the harpies.
Following their rain of arrows, nearly a hundred of the harpies fell to the ground. Even if they were not killed directly, given their fragile physiques, falling from such a high place would only cause damage from the impact.
It's enough to be fatal.
But it has little effect on gargoyles with strong defenses, and it is even less painful on manticores.
Upon seeing this appearance, several green-skinned men dressed as shamans roared in unison, and with the flash of green light, they seemed to have activated some special ability.
The harpies, which were originally a large area of black mass, immediately started to move quickly, roughly forming a triangle, and their flying speed also suddenly increased by nearly 20%.
This move was beyond the expectations of the winged elves, and they had no choice but to start aiming again.
Fortunately, the archers on the Sky Slayer did not watch the fun. Hundreds of arrows flew over together and killed some of the harpies.
Some mages and druids who can use wind and electric magic have also taken action. In aerial combat, these two types of magic are the most practical.
Levi also took advantage of the situation and launched the Thunder Cloud Technique, and this time he chose his target very cleverly. He did not choose the strongest manticores, nor the weakest harpies, but chose the roc.
and gargoyles.
As soon as this magic, which is the most restrained for flying troops, comes out, even the higher-level ones cannot ignore it and are injured one after another.
The casualties caused by his magic to the opponent were secondary, but the best thing was that he forcibly divided the opponent's flying troops into two parts with one move, allowing the manticore and the many heroes on its back to fight for a short time.
To be continued...
