Chapter 1608 Different battlefields and unexpected gains
Under the dark night with smoke rising everywhere, there were flames shooting into the sky everywhere, the earth-shaking sounds of magic explosions, the deafening sounds of energy collisions, and the shouts of soldiers rising one after another, filling every corner of the battlefield.
In a spacious open area, there stood an extremely large outline. It was the enemy's sky island that had landed on the ground not long ago.
At first glance, the huge monster that was a hundred meters above the ground was connected to the ground through several giant magic bridges. Dense enemy soldiers were pouring out continuously, and then quickly gathered on the ground to form huge military formations, marching towards the direction of the training academy.
These aggressive enemy soldiers were not the 10 Broken Wing Level Legions that were stationed here at the beginning. They were obviously the ones who came to support later through the teleportation array.
Between the training academy and the landing site of the other party was a complex area with various terrains including forests, rivers, plains, etc., which now turned into a burning battlefield.
Our 15 legions, led by the dark half-elves, have already been fully deployed and are fighting fiercely with the first batch of Broken Wing Legions that rushed down.
I saw that on this vast battlefield, our side and the enemy were almost in a state of disarray. Everywhere were soldiers from both sides fighting, so densely packed that there was no end in sight.
“Hahaha, we finally broke through the defenses of those dark half-elves!”
At the edge of the forest, a general of the Broken Wings tribe whose helmet had been thrown away spat and said angrily, "They are just a bunch of ignorant fellows. If our goal was not to go to the training academy to help our king, we would have killed them all!"
However, although the Broken Wing leader spoke as if he had won the victory, judging from his dusty face and the dejected looks of the trembling Broken Wing soldiers behind him, they had obviously been through a tough battle.
To be more precise, they almost fought and fled at the same time, and only then did they break away from the dark half-elves' defense in the chaotic battlefield.
Not long ago, just after rushing down from the sky island, they were ambushed by the dark half-elves and other members of our army, and were stunned for a while.
Although they were well-trained and quickly reorganized their formation and engaged in close combat with the dark half-elves, what greeted them was a purgatory-like battle.
The moment the two sides started fighting, all the dark half-elf soldiers retreated into the shadows and disappeared in front of them in an instant.
Before they could react, screams began to be heard from all over the army.
Agile figures were seen moving between light and shadow, with the rapiers in their hands containing powerful piercing ability always able to penetrate the energy barrier and pierce through the weakest connection of the armor, causing the Broken Wing soldiers who were caught off guard to fall one after another, some of them even died without seeing the opponent in front of them.
Although the Broken Wing soldiers reacted extremely quickly and soon stood back to back to prevent themselves from being backstabbed by the dark half-elves, when they finally stabilized their formation and prepared to counterattack, the dark half-elf soldiers in black armor in front of them had already merged back into the shadows and disappeared in front of them.
This cycle repeated itself, and after several rounds of attacks, although they were extremely tenacious and their formation had barely remained intact, they still suffered heavy losses, while the losses of the dark half-elves were minimal.
Just when they were getting more and more panicked and about to collapse completely, a turning point appeared.
Those Broken Wing Legions that had not encountered the Dark Half-Elves quickly gained the upper hand, defeating the other legions of our forces with more limited combat power, causing the originally airtight defense line to begin to loosen.
In desperation, the dark half-elf soldiers had to split up and go to various places to provide support and help those weak friendly forces stabilize their formation. This allowed these defeated troops to catch their breath and eventually come here.
"General, what should we do now?"
A sharp-nosed and monkey-faced deputy general with broken wings came up and asked.
"Of course, we are going to help our king. I heard that a group of ignorant rebels dared to challenge the Broken Wing Clan. We must kill them all. Otherwise, how can we seize those incompetent forces?"
The Broken Wing General grinned and replied grimly, "Once we have wiped out those rebellious people, we will come back to deal with these dark half-elves. They actually dared to attack our Broken Wing Legion. I think the Dark Half-Elf Kingdom is tired of living!"
"General, you are right. These ignorant dark half-elves will be punished by our king. When we invade the kingdom of dark half-elves, we will make sure these guys know the consequences of offending us!"
A sinister look emerged on the deputy general's face, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Unfortunately, you will never have this opportunity."
An emotionless old voice sounded, and a skinny black-armored figure appeared behind the two of them.
Before the two stunned people could react, accompanied by a flash of sharp blade light, their bodies were separated and they fell straight down.
The blood-stained blade reflected a calm and resolute face, that of an elderly dark half-elf commander, the Shadow-Chasing Prince of the dark half-elf.
Seeing this sudden scene, the other Broken-Winged soldiers around them who had echoed the sinister smile just opened their eyes wide with fear, and then fell down one after another with screams. Fighting behind them were the dark half-elf soldiers like Prince Shadow-Chasing.
"Your Highness, these few who slipped through the net have been completely wiped out."
A dark half-elf general touched his chest and saluted, reporting to Prince Shadow Chaser.
"Very good, where is the next place where the fish slipped through the net?"
Prince Zhuying nodded slightly and asked.
"Your Highness, according to reports from the scouts scattered around, there are about a thousand people at the other end of the forest, and they also took advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement."
The dark half-elf general still maintained the posture of saluting, his left arm was obviously a little stiff, and there was a cut on the shoulder armor there, which was left by another Broken Winged deputy general just now.
Although the dark half-elf general eventually killed the enemy, the weapon used by the enemy had the effect of making wounds difficult to heal, making it difficult for ordinary healing spells to be effective.
The other dark elf soldiers present also had scars of varying sizes on their bodies. Although not as serious as that of this general, it was not difficult to see that these Broken Wing soldiers were indeed extremely difficult to deal with.
After all, dark half-elf soldiers are best at fighting at night and can hide in the shadows.
"take it."
Prince Zhuying first handed the other party a magic potion with powerful healing effects, and then nodded slightly, signaling everyone to prepare to go to the next location.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness!"
The dark half-elf general swallowed the potion immediately. After feeling his wounds improve, he asked Prince Chasing Shadow, "Your Highness, the enemy's reinforcements are still coming in continuously. Except for the five fifth-level legions of us who can still contend with them, the other friendly forces are already at the end of their strength. If they continue like this, the defense line will soon collapse completely."
After the dark half-elf finished speaking, the other dark half-elves around him all showed a hint of worry on their faces.
At present, the number of enemy troops on this battlefield is almost equal to their 15 legions, and the combat power of the remaining 10 friendly legions is relatively limited. If they continue like this, no matter how strong they are at fighting, they will be unable to take care of every line of defense.
At this moment, a dark half-elf scout emerged from the shadows and reported to Prince Zhuying: "Your Highness, a legion of human cavalry appeared on our flank and has defeated an enemy legion that came to our aid!"
Hearing this, the dark half-elves who were originally extremely nervous all became excited.
The fact that this sudden human cavalry was able to defeat an enemy legion in a short period of time is enough to prove its considerable strength, which will greatly relieve their pressure!
"Oh? Are they actually reinforcements sent by the human race? Their strength is so impressive, no wonder Zhui Ying keeps mentioning the human emperor."
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Prince Zhuying's old face.
As Prince Zhuiying's uncle, he naturally knew about Lei Xiao's recent visit to the Dark Half-Elf Kingdom. He also knew that the reason they took action this time was because they had obtained permission from Her Majesty the Queen.
You know, Her Majesty the Queen never takes anyone seriously. The fact that she chose to help the human emperor was beyond everyone's expectations.
Therefore, although he had never met Lei Xiao, he was extremely curious about this human emperor, and even a little puzzled as to why a mere human emperor would be valued by Her Majesty the Queen.
Now it seems that this human emperor does have some extraordinary qualities. This is not only because of the sudden appearance of this human cavalry, but also because the human emperor was able to get so many second-rate forces to stand together in such a short period of time. This is not something that everyone can do.
"I have to say, this young human emperor does have some courage."
Thinking of this, a look of solemnity appeared on Prince Zhuying's face again.
The reason why they are guarding here must be because of the arrangement of the human emperor, which is undoubtedly a recognition of their strength.
Although they went to war because of the order of Her Majesty the Queen, no matter what, since they are already standing here, they will never let Her Majesty the Queen and the human race down!
"Everyone, don't let any enemy pass through here!"
Prince Zhuying waved his hand, and the group quickly blended into the shadows and disappeared at the edge of the forest.
However, just as Prince Zhuying and his companions were doing their best to hold the defense line, on a sky island not far away, a giant magic cannon carrying destructive power quietly appeared in the square in the center of the sky island.
A devastating magical bombardment is brewing secretly.
The square was filled with elite soldiers and magicians of the Broken Wing Clan, and they were in a very tight defense.
"General, the location of the main force of the dark half-elf army has been locked!"
A Broken Wing deputy general reported to the skinny Broken Wing general standing next to the giant magic cannon.
"Very good, it's time to show the power of our secret weapon."
A trace of murderous intent surged on the face of the skinny and wingless general, and a sinister smile slowly emerged at the corner of his mouth.
This giant magic cannon is Sky Island's own equipment. It comes from the Winged People, a first-class force standing at the top of all races. The destructive power it emits is enough to rival a demigod's full-strength attack!
Under the current circumstances, it is enough to cripple the main force of the dark half-elves in one blow!
"But General, there are still soldiers of ours fighting fiercely with the enemy around that area."
The deputy general hesitated for a moment, then reminded the skinny general again.
"That bunch of rubbish can't even break through the other side's defenses, what's the point of keeping them around?"
The skinny general snorted coldly and said calmly: "If we let them evacuate in advance, then wouldn't the other party be aware of our intentions?"
After that, the skinny general waved his hand and ordered: "Carry out the final charge and prepare to fire!"
As the skinny general finished speaking, the Broken Winged magicians around him all had grim expressions on their faces and began to chant loudly.
As the chanting became louder and louder, the destructive power faintly emanating from the giant magic cannon was also rising rapidly. The space around the giant black muzzle was slowly distorting. Although it had not yet been fired, it was already in an extremely terrifying state.
"Hahaha, speed up, this general can't wait!"
Feeling the destructive power of the dark tide, the skinny and wing-broken general's face became more and more violent.
But just when the giant magic cannon was about to be fully charged, something unexpected happened.
Without any warning, the giant magic cannon that was as big as a dragon suddenly flashed in the air and disappeared on the spot. Only the Broken Wing soldiers and generals were left looking at each other in astonishment.
"What on earth happened? Where is the magic cannon?!"
Before the skinny general could finish his angry words, a deafening demonic explosion suddenly sounded in the square. The rising raging flames swept wildly and soon swallowed up the group of Broken Wing people who were caught off guard.
The area where the violent magic explosion occurred was not just the center of the square, but also the teleportation arrays on the edge of the square. They were all swallowed up by the flames that rose into the sky, leaving only an unexpected wailing.
For a moment, the entire square of the sky island was in chaos. Even the magic bridge leading to the ground was broken, causing the enemy reinforcements who had not had time to pass through to fall down with screams.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to get such an unexpected gain! This time, that guy will definitely praise me!"
At the other end of the square, in an area that was not affected, a petite figure appeared out of nowhere. It was undoubtedly Jasmine in a pink hood. (End of this chapter)
