Chapter 454 Against the Norsca Pirates (3)
Even though his ears were filled with the roar of various cannons, Levi's laughter was still very accurately transmitted to the ears of the half-elf Reiner. He was curious. When was it time? This human named Levi's can laugh out loud? Could he be sure that this battle will definitely win?
But according to my own opinion, the battle has just begun. Although the Nosca pirates were massacred by blockbusters of war mechanical blockbusters on the Imperial Human side, their number has an overwhelming advantage. Sooner or later, they will come here, and that will be the time to truly decide the outcome!
But seeing that nothing is wrong now, the other party seemed to be in a very good mood. In the end, half-elf Reiner couldn't resist his curiosity. He couldn't help asking, "Sir Levith, why are you so happy?"
"Haha, nothing, I'm just thinking about some happiness, but after the battle, I'll travel around the coast, you said the first goal, how about choosing Fort Marion?!" Levith asked inadvertently.
But Reiner's heart suddenly tightened, and then he pretended to be nothing and laughed, "Marion Castle is a good place. It is said that it is the largest trading port in the entire old world. As long as you have money, you can buy anything."
Levitra smiled, "Yes, I think it's very good there, but I haven't had the chance to go there before."
Reiner laughed dryly, but he was a little nervous. The other party mentioned Marion Fort for no reason. This is not a good phenomenon. You should know that besides the largest trading port, it is also the only place in the old world where the legend of that race is exactly there.
Could it be that the other party saw something and was testing himself?
Thinking of this, Reiner couldn't help but complain, all the time, blamed the guys behind him for being stern all day long, as if others were owing money, and didn't know how to adapt at all. It was normal for others to suspect it!
However, if the other party really just wants to go to Fort Marion, should I make a request to accompany you? Otherwise, if you rely on these people, going to Fort Marion would be in great danger...
The half-elf Reiner couldn't help but feel a little worried about gains and losses for a moment, but Levitra stopped paying attention to him because as the battle continued, more and more enemies appeared in his vision.
At the beginning, the empire could use fierce firepower to suppress the Nosca pirates, making them unable to get close. Hundreds of Nosca pirates died tragically every second. Whether it was a plunderer, a berserker, or a monster unit such as the Swamp Demon and the Ice Troll, there was no big difference under the attack of cannons. Moreover, after the warship was sunk, those monster units often sank faster and died faster.
If you continue at this speed, you may be killed in another hour or two, these aggressive enemies will be killed on the sea surface. They will not be able to break through the blockade of many firepower weapons. Therefore, not only the indigenous troops of the empire are very strong, but the many heroes of the God-Selected are even more excited.
They came from all parts of the old world. Some crossed thousands of miles away, and some went through half a month and went through hardships and obstacles. They finally arrived at Nordland. Isn’t it just to obtain enough merits and then get the generous rewards promised by the emperor?
Even in their opinion, the opposite side was no longer the vicious Nosca pirates, they were all trophys waiting for their harvest!
But this is just an ideal situation. Things will not always go as smooth as they imagined. Various war machinery also need to replace ammunition, and they cannot always be in an attack state.
And I don’t know if it is because of workmanship or improper operation. On average, every three or five minutes, Levi’s could hear a different loud noise, and then rolling black smoke rose from the shore, and a cannon broke down and had to stop the fire.
Ordinary mortars and cannons are fine, but their power is there, and even if the fire is stopped, the impact will not be particularly huge.
But if it is a Hells' serial jet cannon or Hellstorm rocket launcher, the enemy in a small area will often be temporarily safe, because under the emperor's order, each war machine has its own responsible attack area and target. The Noska pirates on the opposite side can accurately feel this situation at the first time, and they will make more excited howls, and then try hard to get closer to the shore.
Although the Empire also has a reserve team, various mages and craftsman units to prevent this situation and carry out urgent remedial measures, some gaps inevitably arise, which gives the Norscan pirates an opportunity to take advantage of.
Although their ships were quickly crushed and destroyed, they were able to get closer to the shore during this gap, and they were already able to swim!
Fortunately, the many crossbowmen and musketeers on the shore were not just posing there, but as more and more war machinery in the empire broke down, more and more Noska pirates swimming towards the shore became more and more, and some strange sea monsters began to emerge from the water and approached the shore together. It seemed that in this situation, it would not take long for the melee troops to start hand-to-hand combat.
Levitra was commanding the melee troops forward to cover the long-range troops commanded by Sienna, and felt a little strange.
If there are some war machinery problems, it is an unexpected probability factor, but according to the current situation, this is more like a human factor, because all the malfunctioning cannons stay on the shore.
The warships brought by Pope Sigma are well operated from beginning to end, especially those powerful weapons called the Demon of Light. Every time they attack, they can destroy all the targets in the entire straight line, which is extremely powerful!
At this time, there was a dull sound behind him. Levitra didn't need to look back and knew that another war machine must have been malfunctioning. If it was from the Empire, it would be fine. The emperor was rich and did not care about this little money. But if it was from the God-Selected Heroes, it would be really unlucky. Even if it was the cheapest mortar, it would cost a considerable amount of money to customize it. Moreover, this kind of war machine is completely different from ordinary crossbows. They are both limited quantities.
But a series of screams and curses came soon behind him, and the sound was becoming louder and louder, and the entire ground was also shaking slightly, as if cavalry troops were approaching in the distance.
Levitra immediately knew something was wrong, so he quickly turned around, and then he found that something was going on.
A group of new enemies appeared in the positions of many heroes of the Gods, and their appearance was so unique that many of the defense measures prepared by the emperor were useless because the other party came out from the ground!
I saw that the earth, which was originally covered by ice and snow, suddenly had many huge pits. Countless large rats with gray-black and purple fur, holding various weapons, rushed out like a blowout, launching an indiscriminate attack on all humans wherever they look. The Scarven rats officially participated in the war!
Although Levitra was very close to the emperor's troops, he probably became a blessing in disguise and was not selected as the target of attack by the other party. These Scarvens also knew to pinch soft persimmons, but he did not feel much happy because even after such a quick glance, he found that the Scarvens' purpose was very clear, that is, to destroy various war machinery as the first goal!
Levitra immediately understood that the malfunctioning war machinery before was absolutely inseparable from these big rats. If all the war machinery of the God-Selected Heroes were destroyed by them, they would not need to continue to take action. The furious Nosca pirates could rush to the land and launch a large-scale attack on them. These Scarven rats would not even have to stay here, and they would be able to escape directly!
They must be stopped!
"Wames, Tanato, Flame Blade..."
Levitra pointed out the names of his reliable subordinates in a series, and then issued the latest combat order to them, "Go and rescue friendly forces close to us, and be sure to keep those cannons to the greatest extent while ensuring their own safety. The battle here will be handed over to Sienna, Werner, Eus, and Tiemu."
"Ryanhart, I won't give you more advice. While protecting our own positions, kill as many enemies as possible. But in such a chaotic situation, you'd better stay with your Rick Guards at all times. I'm afraid the enemy may launch a raid on you, and I will complete that small goal for you."
Unlike most of her subordinates, Leonhart is not only one of the best swordsmen in the younger generation of the Empire, but also the leader of the Second Regiment of the Nunn Ghawks Knights. She is also preparing to oust the current Northern Eagle. She has enough judgment, and most importantly, they are just cooperative with each other, not with superiors and subordinates, so Levitra can't call her around so casually.
Ryanhard nodded solemnly and said that she knew. Of course she was not a fool. If the Northern Eagle or the Battle Blade Lambert wanted to make a fuss, of course she would take advantage of the most chaotic situation now! As for that small target, although Levitra didn't say it, she certainly knew who it would be!
"Levis, then he will leave it to you!"
Levitra nodded. Although the appearance of the Scarven Rat Man was a little surprised, he had discussed it with Hawkeye several times for the sake of today's situation. The other party has now fallen into his own rhythm. As long as nothing unexpected happens, Leonhart will get what he wants immediately.
He then turned to look at the half-elf Reiner, "Reiner, do you have the courage to go with me to 'rescue' that war blade Lambert?"
It is similar to Levitra, and the Avengers Hawkeye and others have also reached a pretty good position, not far from Levitra's position.
Battle Blade Lambert naturally followed them together. After this period of frequent battles and Hawkeye's various means, his direct troops are now very scarce. Although he is still nominally the superior of Hawkeye, due to the absolute gap in strength, even he has to make some compromises.
Otherwise, according to his thoughts, of course he would not choose to be in his current position, but would rather find a remote corner to stay. If you can be lazy, try to be lazy!
But it's not bad now. Although Hawkeye failed to arrange him to the front line, they had thought about the possible attacks in the rear before, so Hawkeye arranged the Battle Blade Lambert to the last place. If there was really an enemy attack from behind, Battle Blade Lambert would definitely be the first to suffer.
At that time, as long as they delay the rescue time a little and let the war blade Lambert fight alone, even if he is not killed directly by the enemy, he will definitely bring him considerable trouble and losses. As long as he and his direct troops become weaker, it will naturally be much easier to deal with.
Even if things develop in the most ideal direction, Lambert might use some taboo means to survive, such as some unique powers of demons. Then Emperor Face will have an excuse to deal with him and the Northern Eagle!
And now things are as they expected at the beginning. Lambert, the battle blade, was indeed besieged by the Rat Man troops at the first time, so Levitra didn't want to waste more time because he felt that the Rat Man's attack was not strong enough, and he wanted to help them!
The half-elf Lener nodded excitedly, "Of course I'm willing to go together, Lord Levith!"
Needless to say, smart people were too much, he realized at the first time that what Levitra said was absolutely impossible to mean as literally!
Levitra and the others reacted faster, and the emperor was not slow either. Although they were not at the beginning of the Scarvens, they could also be used here, and it might be better.
The Grand Marshal soon commanded many cavalry units to counterattack the newly emerging Scarven Rats. Under the iron hooves of the cavalry, the fragile Rats were cut into pieces and fell to the ground like wheat. However, as time went by, as the rats troops gathered more and more, the advanced Rats troops began to gradually appear.
At first, it was just a large number of pure cannon fodder such as slave rats and clan rats, followed by slightly more advanced night running rats, gutter running rats, and the backbone of the Scarven rats in the infantry unit, and the storm rats holding swords and shields or halberds.
When thousands of storm rats with purple-black fur and standard armor appeared on the battlefield in a relatively neat and regular formation, even the emperor felt an extraordinary meaning.
Because before this, the Scarven rats gave other races the impression of weak and weak races, and could only steal food in the sewers of cities and villages all day long. They were better than goblins, but they were also very limited, so almost all humans held an extremely contemptuous attitude towards rats.
Under normal circumstances, Storm Rats are already the backbone of the rat-man tribe. In a small tribe with thousands of rats, Storm Rats are often only twenty or thirty or even fewer. Storm Rats are hungry races that are always short of food. The food for raising a Storm Rat is enough to raise more than ten times the average clan rat.
But now, the storm rats they saw alone have already seen thousands, and there is a tendency to increase. Wouldn't that mean there are at least dozens of small rat-man tribes behind them? Or worse, the rat-man has a super-large tribe underground in the Nordlands?
But no matter how surprised they were, the Scarvens' army continued to appear, and not only the ordinary troops that once appeared in front of humans, but also dispatched more high-level troops.
For example, the 4th-level elite unit Plague Incense Burner Monk that Levitra once saw, which could cause powerful damage to large-scale infantry, as well as the ultra-long gun that required several rats to carry together, and there was also a new weapon that Levitra that had seen in the dwarfs but now appeared in the Ratman troops, a double-barrel revolver!
