Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 341: Fighting the Dark Blood Hand
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. As a hero chosen by the Church of Cyric, the other party was a little too polite and too normal, right?
He spoke dozens of words in one breath, but there wasn't a single word of disparagement, ridicule or abuse. It was really strange.
Zhang San next to him was also a little surprised and doubtful. This was not the character of the Dark Blood Hand he was familiar with. Moreover, on the surface, it seemed that the other party had an overwhelming advantage. Why did he suddenly become so easy to talk to?
He wanted to ask a question immediately, but Levi didn't give anyone a chance. He said bluntly: "Since you are so polite, I will give you 10 seconds to prepare."
He is not sure why the other party is behaving like this. It seems that he doesn't want to fight with him, but the less the enemy wants to fight, the more actively he should do it!
Dark Blood Hand was a little angry: "Damn it Levi, don't refuse to drink a toast!"
Levi snorted lightly, without making any comment. He just waved his hand to signal his subordinates and the tree stumps to get ready, and at the same time began to mutter: "Ten..."
Seeing this, Dark Blood Hand immediately knew that Levi was determined to fight, and his mood suddenly became worse.
Damn it, why did we meet each other here?
Not to mention that the enemy captured Thorn Town in just a few hours, their strength must be extremely terrifying. The army in front of them, with less than a thousand people, is definitely not the enemy's entire strength.
If we fight with him, we will definitely suffer considerable losses.
More importantly, if he delayed here for too long, those high-level indigenous people from the church who were waiting for assistance would be in danger!
But things have come to this, and he is no longer able to make any changes. Since the other party insists on fighting, he can only fight to the end!
He immediately drove his mount back into the formation, while issuing battle orders: "Attack, break through the enemy formation in one breath. If you can defeat Levi, I won't take a single penny of the church's bounty on him, it's all yours!"
After hearing his words, many of the God-chosen heroes and indigenous people became a little excited.
The Church of Cyric currently offers a very high bounty to the Church of Bane, the Church of Waukeen, and Levi and others who captured Thorn Town. Whoever can take Levi's head will receive at least enough reward to recruit five or six teams of Tier 4 soldiers. That's no small amount of money!
For a moment, everyone's emotions were aroused, and a large number of troops rushed forward frantically.
Two hundred wind elementals, together with hundreds of vampires, as well as some flying soldiers such as eagles, harpies, ferocious bats, and carrion vultures, rushed straight towards the Sky Slayer in mid-air.
Priests, mages, and others began to apply various buffs, determined to assist friendly forces and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Although the enemies were numerous and looked powerful, Levi was not afraid at all and started with a large-scale ice storm.
The high elves' racial talents - magic penetration + elemental focus + spell expansion + spell range, plus the intelligence and equipment bonus brought by his current high level, almost instantly, all the enemy forces within hundreds of square meters were covered.
More than 70% of the troops were covered with streaks of white frost, which greatly affected their movement speed within a short period of time.
Although the description of Ice Storm states that the enemy attacked has a maximum 20% chance of having their movement speed reduced, it does not mean that only 1 out of 5 people will be affected. Instead, every target attacked has a 20% chance of being slowed down.
In addition, the huge gap in strength between the two sides now greatly increases the actual chance of success.
But that’s not all. The magic pet Xiaoqi also released an ice storm almost at the same time, covering a large area of the enemy again.
The archers on the ground, the crossbowmen and musketeers on the tree stumps also took the opportunity to launch a volley at the injured enemies. Sally also led the blood elf mages to cast their best fire magic, so in almost an instant, they killed more than a hundred enemies.
For a moment, the enemy's vanguard troops were forced to create an obvious gap, and the entire battlefield fell silent.
Although the number of enemies seems to be very small, their explosive power is so strong that they killed hundreds of people in one round of attack. It should not take more than half a quarter of an hour to kill all of our own people, right?
Although this is only in theory, in reality, when more and more troops rush forward at the same time, the opponent will no longer be able to maintain such a fierce attack, but the first wave of people who rush up will definitely suffer heavy losses!
Moreover, Levi's magic is ridiculously strong. Although the high elves are rich in wizards, his magic not only has a strong attack distance and range, but also has quite high damage.
If it can cause such high damage to infantry, how can it be good if it falls on mages and druids?
Therefore, apart from a few close associates of Dark Blood Hand, a considerable number of God's chosen heroes subconsciously slowed down their pace.
This is even more true for the indigenous people. Their usual channels and efficiency for obtaining resources such as gold coins are far inferior to those of ordinary God-chosen heroes, so they cherish their own troops more, and they began to retreat one by one.
In fact, this is also a characteristic of the Church of Cyric and even most chaotic evil camps.
Unless they are war-crazy greenskins or demons, or are forced to fight under strong pressure from the army leader, when facing a strong enemy and the leader lacks prestige, they all hope to let others go up and die, while they stay behind to reap the benefits.
But Levi and his men would not stop, and various attacks continued to cause casualties to the other side.
At the same time, Donna in the air also commanded the archers to launch several waves of volleys, killing almost all the wind elements before the enemy could get close enough.
This wind element is extremely fast and can use wind blades for magical attacks. It also has a high defense, making it a bit difficult to deal with for ordinary soldiers of the same level.
But their biggest weakness is their low health points and extremely weak resistance to fire magic.
Although the Sky Slasher did not carry any fire mages, Donna had more than one space ring, which was equipped with a large number of magic scrolls.
The Burning Arrow Technique itself is only a tier 1 magic. Even if you have 1,000 of them, how much would it cost?
Anyway, fire attacks are very useful against most enemies, so there is absolutely no need to worry about wasting them.
So after Donna received the message from Inspector Yakong, without Levi saying anything, she immediately ordered all the ordinary archers except Avalon to use the Burning Arrow scroll.
As for her and Avalon, since they can use more powerful magic arrows, they don't need scrolls.
Similarly, those vampires were intercepted by Xiaotian and his legion of sub-kongs.
Although they were indeed no match for their opponents in single combat, the vampires were clearly more skilled in combat than the Legion's Archons, and quite a few of them were level 4 vampires.
But with the addition of the griffins and giant eagles nearby, as well as the even more powerful Cindy and several high-level angels, the battle would have had a different ending.
As for the remaining air forces, although there were many types, their number was small, so they were all stopped by helicopters.
Although some helicopters spray hot steam and were originally used to fight infantry, they often cannot fully exert their combat effectiveness when fighting against the relatively flexible air force.
But their full metal shells give them a strong defensive capability. At least they can hold back the enemy for a short period of time, buying time and air force for Cindy, Donna and others.
As their infantry continued to advance, after enduring attack after attack, they actually ran into the battle formation formed by the Dwarf Warriors and Silver Guards, and more people began to feel a headache.
Because the enemy's defense is really too strong.
They knew how powerful the rare Silver Guards were, and they also knew about the high elves' martial talent, which strengthened low- and mid-level troops. But now the defensive power of these Silver Guards has completely exceeded their expectations.
There is no way this could be the defense that a tier 3 soldier possesses. Some people would even believe it if they said it was a tier 5 soldier, and it has both physical and magical defenses, which are also extremely powerful.
Moreover, even if they really caused some damage to the enemy, within two seconds, auxiliary magic such as healing would fall on the injured. The number of priests in the enemy army also unusually large. How could they fight?
Levi had somewhat expected this, and Shudun also laughed, but Zhang San, who was fighting alongside them for the first time, couldn't help but feel surprised.
But then he roughly understood. No wonder Levi and his men were able to capture the Thorn Town occupied by the Church of Xirik, because they were indeed insanely strong!
After several rounds of fighting, seeing that the morale of the enemy's vanguard troops was rapidly weakening and the troops behind were also beginning to become sluggish, Levi immediately knew that it was almost time.
These people from the Xirik Church are really just like the legend says.
When there is no strong commander, if the battle is going well, they will fight bravely, fearing that others will snatch their spoils. But once the battle is going unfavorably, they will become more cowardly than each other.
However, although Dark Blood Hand clearly does not have a high enough prestige, the Church of Cyric still sent him as leader to carry out a mission that may be very urgent. Why is this?
Really, it seems that after repelling the enemy, I have to rush to that valley as soon as possible to find out what's going on.
After teaming up with Sally to release several rounds of fireballs and creating a blank area full of death in the enemy camp, Levi also issued orders at the right time, signaling the supervisors and Simon and others to go out.
They and their subordinates are not good at defense. Only offense can maximize their combat effectiveness.
Nothing else is needed, just to destroy the enemy's vehicle barriers carrying cannons first, otherwise if they open fire, our side will definitely suffer losses.
War machines that were usually used for siege were used to attack people, and ordinary low- and middle-level soldiers were really hard to resist. If it weren't for his magic that was always taking care of the enemy, his side would probably have suffered casualties because of them.
The guards and Simon, who had been waiting for a long time, attacked immediately, showing extraordinary speed and were unexpectedly agile when dodging the opponent's rain of arrows.
Now more of the God's chosen heroes began to retreat. The cavalry was fine, the High Elves did not pay much attention to cavalry, and both the Silver Helmets and the Arion Cavalry were very mediocre among the cavalry of the same level, and there was nothing commendable about them.
Especially the Arion Cavalry, if they did not have the racial talent - martial arts, their evaluation might be even lower.
But those celestial beings are not so easy to mess with. In fact, among the foreign visitors such as demons, devils or celestial beings, many are proficient in both magic and martial arts and possess all kinds of strange abilities.
The vanguard troops suffered a severe setback and suffered heavy losses, so most of them began to hesitate and did not want to continue to move forward and serve as cannon fodder.
Because within the Church of Xirik, even if you suffer losses from resisting enemy attacks, you will not receive any sympathy or mercy, or even any compensation.
Instead, they may have some special feelings for you.
As long as there is murder, conspiracy, and strife, it can strengthen Cyric's power, so Cyric does not care who the sacrifice is.
If it is an enemy, that is of course good, but if it comes from our side, it is also good, because the weak are not qualified to serve Xirik!
This is what the people of the Xirik Church thought and did, so as the battle went on, Levi and his men discovered that although there was a huge gap in the number of people on both sides, the number of opposing troops rushing up at the same time was not too large.
They don't even have to give their all and can handle it quite easily.
If Cindy and Donna clear out all the enemy's air forces, and Luna, Anaconda and the others are in place, won't we be able to win another big victory?
So Dark Blood Hand was very surprised to find that it was actually his own side that was at a disadvantage.
He frowned and glanced at the battle in mid-air, looked at the friendly forces who were retreating, and then looked at the silver guards who were like a breeze even when facing multiple attacks from their own side such as melee combat, arrows, and magic. He knew that this battle was quickly turning in the most unfavorable direction for his side.
The first thing that is certain is that our air force is likely to be destroyed. Once we completely lose air superiority and there is no other chance of success on the battlefield, those guys might just retreat.
After all, most of them were attracted by rewards such as gold coins, rather than having any real loyalty to the Church of Cyric.
How much loyalty can you expect from people who are paid to do things?
Although the number of the opponent's celestial creatures and cavalry units is not large, once they really launch an attack, they may be able to severely damage a certain God-chosen hero. If a chain reaction is formed at that time, it will be very unfavorable to the battle situation.
So he gritted his teeth and directly used his hidden props.
I saw a black and red light flashing from his hand, and several vampires who were fighting with the giant eagles in mid-air suddenly had mist of the same color emerging from their bodies.
They seemed to be full of corrosiveness, because all the giant eagles that were affected around them made slightly shrill cries, and could not help but retreat temporarily.
Then, accompanied by a few roars, their bodies swelled up rapidly. In less than two seconds, they turned into huge monsters, level 5 bloodthirsty sky demons!
Although there were not many of them, the giant eagles, which were relatively weak among the same level, were no match for them at all. Several of them were torn to pieces in the blink of an eye.
Levi immediately snorted. Although he had always disliked giant eagles, they should not be slaughtered by the enemy.
However, Dark Blood Hand was able to get this special item, and his relationship with the vampire was obviously not ordinary.
In this case, the true identities of those mysterious enemies who have been hiding in the black fog and have not taken any action until now seem to be revealed, and most of them are undead creatures.
Taking another look at the Dark Blood Hand's occupation and his personal guards, Levi felt that he seemed to have guessed the general idea.
So he casually threw down a series of quicksand traps. After all, they were low-level magic, and the casting speed was very fast, so it wouldn't delay anything.
Lucia snorted coldly: "Using filthy blood to forcibly transform their own people into monsters, those guys really betrayed Dracula."
Bloodthirsty sky demons have never been the product of the natural evolution of vampires, and Dracula has never actively created them before.
After all, in addition to the name Dracula, his other identity is also known as the "eternal vampire elder". He also has to save face and he needs to follow certain rules.
Some guys from the Eclipse Alliance secretly made some before, and Dracula turned a blind eye to it. But giving this kind of thing to outsiders who are not vampires is something Dracula will never tolerate!
But Levi laughed: "Lucia, this may not be a bad thing for us. As long as we find their traces, I think we will have a chance to kill them soon."
If she had known about this opportunity before, Lucia would have been a little happy, but now she was not in a good mood: "Levi, I think it is more likely that Dracula gave up on them. Otherwise, even if he was in a weakened state, the remnants of the 13 families would not have the courage to betray him."
Levi's eyes narrowed slightly, motioning for her to continue.
"The 13 families were founded by him and are completely under his control, but the Eclipse Alliance is not like that. They are much stronger than him."
“Although Dracula is worried about his position being threatened, so there doesn’t seem to be any legendary vampires inside, but we should also be more careful.”
Levi smiled and immediately fired another micro meteor, blowing away dozens of enemies and causing all the enemies around them to enter a burning state.
"I understand, Lucia, but I am not as professional as you in this area. If possible, I will rely on you for my safety in the future."
Lucia was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, if it's you, I won't refuse."
Zhang San, who was not far away, also heard some of it, and he immediately felt like he was being fed dog food.
Really, if it were before, he would at most be a little envious of Levi for having so many beauties around him, envious that he could feast his eyes every day.
But after , he was almost jealous.
Because although these beauties are of different races and have their own styles, they are all so outstanding. More importantly, their attitude towards Levi is by no means an ordinary superior or subordinate.
Really, why does he only have some bearded idiots under his command?
