Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 298 The Punisher Goes to Battle
At this time, some elite drow warriors, under the cover , relied on their own agility to wait for opportunities to attack the melee troops.
Their attacks are often precise and deadly, and they will cooperate with each other on the battlefield, using joint attacks with many companions, minions, slaves, and summoned creatures.
So when some ogres swing their sticks, they are often surprised to find that three or four long swords, two or three sharp claws, and several sticks are fighting back at the same time.
It was the first time for melee troops to face this kind of combat tactics. Many were killed instantly, and some of the survivors had colorful colors on their bodies.
As a typical evil faction, the drow’s weapons are of course coated with poison, and the effect of the poison is even stronger than those of the giant spiders.
Ordinary toxins can only reduce the victim's health, but their toxins have more effects and are stronger.
Weakened, powerless, slowed down, or even dizzy on the spot, the survivability of melee units on the battlefield will be greatly reduced after being poisoned by these poisons.
There were even more than one ogre who were dismembered on the spot by the ferocious giant spiders because their attributes were extremely reduced. The greenskins, bugbears, etc., who had relatively weaker defense and physique, were killed or injured in greater numbers.
Even if units such as priests and druids tried their best to use purification and healing abilities, it was not enough to completely save them from danger.
Because every attack by the drow can poison friendly troops, but it is impossible for the priests to purify all friendly troops continuously. They also have to devote a considerable part of their energy to looking after important hero units such as Alduin, Elegy and Cindy.
This made Cindy's face full of anger, and Caijin's pretty face almost distorted.
However, the reasons for their anger are not exactly the same. Cindy is really heartbroken for her subordinates, but Cai Jin thinks that even if there are sacrifices, these cannon fodders should die in a more valuable way!
However, the performance of the Elf Ranger, some thieves or assassins, as well as Cai Jin and her catwoman were relatively good. Normally, they don't like to fight the enemy head-on, and now they are trying their best to dodge. As long as they are not poisoned, they will not be killed instantly by the enemy.
At this point, Nar no longer cared about her seeds. With the activation of magic, several ancient guardians and a dozen little tree people appeared one after another and began to share part of the defense task.
Treemen are special beings that are half plant and half living thing. Most of the drow's poisons have no effect on them, which immediately relieves some of the pressure on the front-line warriors and priests.
At the same time, Alduin on the other side also roared, transformed into a half-dragon, and killed several drow in seconds with a breath. What he hated most was the enemy who was too agile and unwilling to fight with him!
But even though his strength increased several times after the transformation, he did not dare to be too careless, because the enemy not only had warriors, but also many spellcasting units.
So he still guarded Elegy on both sides, defending her from the enemy's crossbows and other sneak attacks, leaving the task of output to her who was holding two big swords.
Although they have only known each other for a short time, their fighting styles complement each other perfectly, often resulting in greater combat effectiveness.
Seeing this, Levi began to feel fortunate that he did not let the dwarves come over. Otherwise, with their slow speed, they might really be restrained by the drow's tactics. Although their armor was heavy, it was not thick enough to ignore the opponent's attacks.
At this time, Suifeng and others also used their own skills, and let the golems, which were also not afraid of poison, continue to advance forward, trying to replace the ordinary soldiers as quickly as possible.
Thanks to their joint efforts, although the enemy's attack seemed very fierce, it ultimately failed to truly shake their defense line.
But despite this, the drow priests and wizards did not stop casting spells, such as fear spells, magic missiles, weakening rays, electric explosion balls, dark arrows...
Various low-level magics appeared one after another. Even if they did not directly kill many troops, once they were weakened, the drow warriors would rush forward and desperately try to deliver the final blow, showing extraordinary courage and desire to kill.
Although as a price, Donna would immediately retaliate with a rain of arrows and kill some of the spellcasters cleanly and efficiently, but these drow were very cunning. Not only did they split into several teams, but they also kept casting dark magic from beginning to end.
Moreover, they will constantly move their positions on the battlefield, so even Donna can't kill all the opponents at once.
Levi also gritted his teeth. This was the real combat effectiveness of a regular army that was organized and coordinated. It was different from all the enemies he had fought before.
Although the greenskins and demons are considered brave, they have almost no rules when fighting. In most cases, they just rush forward wildly.
If they can disperse the enemy, they can often win. If they cannot disperse the enemy, they will basically taste the bitter fruit of failure.
From this point of view, we really can’t blame the Silver Blood Army for not being strong enough just now, because the opponent is indeed very strong.
But Levi changed his mind and felt that there was no need for him to excuse the Silver Blood Army. They were indeed very weak. They had clearly fought a battle, so why did the drow's magic units seem to have not consumed much magic?
Even the undead don't have to endure the drow's poison, but they still ended up being beaten into this state. They are really complete trash!
Although he was muttering this in his heart, Levi's actions were not delayed at all. Another flaming skull was released, instantly burning to death or injuring more than fifty enemies of various types.
For a moment, the air was filled with the smell of burning, and the power of the 5th-level magic was undoubtedly revealed.
Sally and Lily, who had received orders, also took the opportunity to launch an attack. However, because the threat posed by the opponent to the magic units was too great, they lagged behind Levi by dozens of meters to reduce the possibility of being attacked as much as possible.
After one move, just as Levi had guessed, many drow soon used demonic fire, dyeing his body colorful. If nothing unexpected happened, piles of magic would fly over in the next moment.
But he had been prepared and naturally retreated at the first opportunity, causing the opponent's magic to be in vain. Instead, Donna once again seized the opportunity and killed many enemies.
A few seconds later, he repeated the same trick and attracted the attention of some enemies again.
But this time the demonic fire on his body was obviously much dimmer than last time. Not only were some of them killed by Donna, but some of them saw through his plan. It was also because after paying a certain price, Caijin's harpies finally succeeded in breaking through the blockade of the drow's crossbows and magic and were able to launch a close combat.
However, Cai Jin soon discovered to her disappointment that even though she had sent out some wind wizards and lightning wizards, the harpies still failed to cause many casualties to the enemy.
Those drow wizards are fine, each of them has multiple guards around them, and almost all of them have powerful magical pets such as giant spiders and underground giant lizards. Ordinary harpies can only delay but cannot kill the opponent.
But those drow priests were a bit too much. Almost all of them wore chain mail and held shields in their left hands. Some of them had war hammers as weapons. After casting buff magic on themselves, they fought with great force.
Although she is obviously inferior to Cindy, she is definitely not someone the harpies can contend with.
Those holding long whips are even more excessive. Not only do they have a wider attack range and strong attack power, but their whips are also like poisonous snakes, and they can bite and release poison.
Often, a dozen harpies would rush forward together, but half of them would be beaten to a pulp before they even got to the enemy, and the remaining half would not be able to hold on for more than a few dozen seconds.
Are all drow priests so tough?
But Levi could fully understand that the reason why female drow had such a high status in drow society was not only because the Spider Queen Rose they worshipped was a woman, but also because they were really good at fighting!
The most famous female race in the main world is the Amazon, but in terms of combat power alone, the female drow are clearly much superior.
As for this snake-headed whip, it is said to be forged from refined gold and living poisonous snakes. Both the whip body and the whip head are poisonous snakes. Under the influence of magic, they will still open their mouths and bite people.
Not all elite drow priests use snake-head whips as weapons, but those who use them are definitely the elite among the elite.
However, these harpies have played a very important role. As long as we can delay the opponent's spellcasting units, victory will quickly tilt towards our side. It's time to launch a real counterattack!
But before Levi could give the order, the information sent back by someone who was following and monitoring Yakong made Levi's face change slightly. Stump and Hans discovered that there were new undead slowly approaching from behind them.
Judging from the enemy's flags and logos, they should be some vampires under Dracula and his followers.
Although they were moving slowly and looked leisurely, as if they were taking a walk in the wild, they were probably completely unaware of the war going on here and were most likely just passing by by chance.
But according to the other party's speed, it would take about a quarter of an hour to pass through here.
At that time, their situation would become very embarrassing and dangerous. Unlike the other two groups of undead, Dracula had already formed an alliance with the Spider Queen Rose. Once discovered by them, they would definitely suffer a fierce attack.
Should we evacuate quickly to stop the losses before the enemy arrives, or should we completely eliminate the drow elves within half a quarter of an hour and then fight the vampires?
This choice is actually not difficult. If they give up so easily, wouldn’t all their two days of planning be wasted?
"Cindy!"
Hearing Levi's call, the big loli was a little surprised, because this was slightly different from the plan they had made before, and now was not the right time.
But because of the deep affection and trust that had been built up over a long period of time, she immediately knew that since the plan had changed, it must be that Brother Levi thought it was necessary!
So she made a prompt decision and directly used the most powerful power she currently possessed, which was to call the parents!
With a burst of laughter, the Punisher, who was wrapped in white lightning, several meters tall and looked extremely powerful, stepped out of the summoning circle.
"Cindy, Daddy's here!"
Without waiting for Cindy's response, he had already seen the enemy in front of him. He couldn't help but roared excitedly: "With so many evil people, it's time for us to fight!"
Cindy, who was just happy to be reunited with her father, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. It seemed that even though he had ascended to the kingdom of gods, his hatred of evil and warlike character hadn't changed at all!
There was no excessive courtesy at all. Based on the tacit understanding between father and daughter, the Punisher knew what he should do with just an eye contact.
Even more violent holy lightning emerged from his body, and then he rushed into the enemy camp like a god of war, and struck hard with his two-handed hammers, killing a level 4 elite drow instantly.
Then, with the remaining power inexhaustible, white celestial energy burst out from Zhuoer's body, affecting all other enemies within a three-meter radius. It was his special ability - Celestial Shock.
Even if this attack has only half the power of the initial attack, the power of the Level 7 Elite is not something they can withstand. More importantly, this is not something that can be blocked or dodged like a sword, but a pure energy attack. All enemies in this area can only withstand it!
Caught off guard, the multi-headed spiders were blown up on the spot, the bones of several drow elves were shattered, and several grimlocks were hammered into pieces of meat.
With just one strike, nearly 10 enemies were killed instantly, and almost the same number of people were injured. For a moment, the powerful might of the 7th-level elite celestial creatures was clearly revealed.
The morale of all the enemies around dropped sharply, because even the dumbest guys knew that the enemy in front of them was not someone they could afford to provoke!
Suifeng, Caijin and others who were also paying attention to this place opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say for a moment.
If this effect was caused by magic, they would not feel too surprised, but the opponent was obviously a warrior-type summon, so isn't this too brutal?
Even Levi was a little surprised, but then he became a little excited. Sure enough, the system's text description is never as intuitive as real combat!
Seeing the Punisher raised his sledgehammer again and headed straight for the nearest drow mages who were using dark magic, Levi didn't want to waste any time: "Sally, Lily, Suifeng, Caijin, cooperate with his actions and resolve the battle here as soon as possible, there are new enemies coming!"
Not only the people whose names were called, but everyone around who heard his words all looked serious, and they also understood why Levi used this powerful weapon at this time.
They quickly gathered their minds and wholeheartedly cooperated with the Punisher in launching the attack.
So wherever the hammer passed, the enemies were defeated. Because he was surrounded by special heavenly energy and possessed epic armor, the magic spells thrown hastily by the drow priests and drow wizards were almost all ineffective against him.
Moreover, his physical defense is ridiculously high. Even a tier 4 elite drow can barely break through his defense only when a critical hit occurs. However, the tiny amount of damage caused is so insignificant that before the priests behind him can heal him, some special equipment carried by the Punisher has already replenished his health points.
If we have to say that he has any shortcomings, it is that as a celestial creature, he cannot fly, and among the 7th-level soldiers, his speed should be relatively slow. He is probably a few percent stronger than ordinary ogres, but undoubtedly much worse than professional cavalry.
If it is a cavalry archer unit like Cindy or Luna, it is actually possible to cause some trouble to him. Whether or not they can break his defense is another matter, but they can definitely restrain or harass him to a certain extent.
However, on the battlefield at hand, these two shortcomings are actually irrelevant, because the drow cannot fly, and they are now fighting a positional war. If the drow choose to retreat, then our side will take advantage of the situation to pursue them and completely destroy all their resistance!
The fact was just as Levi had speculated. When the Punisher defeated thousands of drow wizards with one hand and easily killed several drow wizards, and tore a large gap in the drow battle formation, Cindy brought the angels, Xiaotian and the monitors, together with the celestial creatures as his backup, and quickly expanded the gap.
At the same time, Levi and other mage units did not hesitate to use their magic and launched indiscriminate bombardment. The golem army commanded by Suifeng and others also advanced forward. As a result, less than a minute after the Punisher appeared, the battle situation here changed fundamentally.
The drow suffered heavy casualties and their originally neat formation became riddled with holes. Not only did they themselves become shaken, but large groups of enslaved cave trolls and grimlocks simply chose to flee, heading west.
If they were encountered in the wild, they would be considered brave and would not be defeated so easily even if they suffered heavy casualties.
But now they are serving the drow elves as slaves, without even getting paid. Why should they work so hard?
They are stupid, but they are not brainless!
Looking in the direction of their escape, Levi also understood why the drow could easily defeat the Silver Blood Army with an ambush, because there was a deep passage on the west side of the valley.
Whether it existed originally or was excavated by the drow later, it is clear that they made full use of it.
Now its existence is still somewhat useful to our side, because it gives the drow a hope of escape, so that they don't have to fight to the death with us.
After this idea came to his mind, Levi began to secretly command his troops, focusing the attack on the east side to give the drow a chance to escape.
At this point, killing a hundred or eighty more or less drow is actually not important. What he needs is to end the battle with the drow as soon as possible so as to set up a defense line in the valley to fight against the upcoming vampires!
