Chapter 1676 Each with a Purpose
The sky-high flames are reaching the sky, as if to dye the entire sky with the color of flames.
Billowing smoke, constantly filled the city.
At this time, the density of the smoke and dust has probably reached the point where people can suffocate.
And it was in such a terrifying sea of fire, a burst of magic light suddenly lit up, and a dark elf mage scattered all over the place, maintaining the shield, and rushed out of the sea of fire with a large number of dark elf soldiers in the city.
Although the outer protective cover can isolate the direct damage of flames and explosions, the temperature is not enough.
The terrifying high temperature around them has made their shields look like an oven. If they stay here, even if they are protected by a shield, they will probably be roasted to death by the high temperature.
Not daring to relax for a moment, the dark elf soldiers sweating like rain gritted their teeth and kept running away from the sea of fire while protecting the dark elf mages who held up their shields.
And it was during this period that three of the airships that had completed the bomb-dropping mission in the sky began to spontaneously ignite and crashed under the constant attack of the harpies.
The remaining two evacuated intentionally, but they couldn't escape the pursuit of a large number of harpies. In the end, they followed in the footsteps of the previous three airships and crashed on the way to evacuate.
This scene made Philip Albert, who was in the back, hurt.
Damn, that's all money, and it's just like a one-time consumable? !
The only thing he could comfortably talk about was the five airships, which had completed the bombing mission for the time being.
Let the fire burn for a while, and when the fire is under control, he ordered again, signaling his army to put out the fire, enter the city area, and start a search and siege.
During the entire search process, they found nearly 400 charred corpses piecemeal.
Those corpses, obviously under the terrifying high temperature of napalm, were burned beyond recognition, and even some morphological features were burned.
From a distance, it looks like a piece of black charcoal inclined towards a human shape.
However, there are basically no humans in this city, only dark elves. Therefore, the identities of these corpses can also be easily confirmed.
However, this number of casualties is obviously smaller than what Philip Albert expected.
But think about it from another angle, considering the strength of the dark elves, the soldiers of the more than 400 dark elves are estimated to be comparable to the two or three thousand troops of the other race.
Of course, an algorithm like this is also his approximate estimate, because if you want to make a detailed calculation, you must first confirm the opponent's arms, dark elf mages, dark elf crossbowmen, dark elf artillery, dark warriors, black knights, etc. There are a lot of different arms, and the value of each arm is actually different.
If you successfully destroy the opponent's high-level troops, it will definitely make a lot of money.
But according to Philip Albert's idea, these more than 400 corpses are estimated to be the level of the bottom soldiers.
In this way, his mood is actually more subtle now.
But anyway, he took the city back...
With such positive thoughts in mind, Philip Albert's mood instantly became more subtle as he glanced at the city that had been devastated by his successive use of white phosphorus bombs and napalm bombs.
In any case, at this point, what else can he do except continue to march?
The army continued to advance, and the dark elf army, which had been hit unilaterally one after another, fought and retreated all the way.
After fighting with Philip Albert's army many times, now the city behind them is only the port city that was first captured by them.
On the way of this continuous retreat, Delke's face was always solemn.
At this moment, both of them actually know each other's purpose.
Philip Albert wanted to hit the dark elf army on the front lines before the Hydra arrived, paving the way for the next battle.
The dark elf army wanted to preserve the combat power as much as possible before the Hydra arrived, avoid fighting head-on with Philip Albert's army, and accumulate strength for the subsequent attack.
The actions of the two sides with their own intentions have evolved into the current situation.
However, if they retreat like this, there will be only one port city left, and they will soon have no way to retreat.
At the same time, they absolutely cannot give up this port city.
Because of this expedition, most of their supplies were hoarded here, and then shipped to the frontline battlefield in batches.
Once the port city is hit, their losses will be heavy.
Thinking of this, Delke's heart has already raised a few points and the idea of playing against the opponent and rubbing the spirit of the human army.
After all, he can't just let the other side do whatever they want. Although it's a strategy, but retreating like this will have a great impact on the morale of his army. Useful for future battles.
Thinking of this, Derk suddenly changed his strategy.
Another morning, the harsh scream of the harpy completely broke the surrounding peace.
Immediately afterwards, circles of magic light continued to spread from a distance.
Many soldiers have not even woken up, and their bodies have been put on two layers of negative buffs in a row. For a person who was still half-awake before, it makes people want to die.
The surrounding security forces were too late to react. This wave, the army of dark elves, who had the advantage of aerial vision, undoubtedly grabbed the first-mover advantage.
The detection spells of the dark elf mages clearly showed where the opponent's troops were concentrated, so at this moment, they didn't need to say more, aiming at the place where the red light was the strongest and densest, and the pillager ballista. Expand the roar.
The artillery bombardment with the light of magic swept towards the camp of the enemy human soldiers frantically, and the astonishing destructive power erupted, constantly venting their anger these days.
The outer vigilance force did not play a vigilant role at all, which made the human army directly caught off guard.
The Marauder Ballista is a rather terrifying weapon. Every magic shell that flies over will cause more AOE damage than high-explosive shells when it explodes. With a series of negative effects such as 'poisoning' and 'corrosion', it is enough to make people feel scared.
After a series of artillery shelling, considering the remaining number of magic crystals on the front line, Delke promptly signaled the artillery unit to stop, and then, a dark elf unit wearing black metal light armor, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, With the sound of killing, he drew his sword and charged towards the human camp.
This troop is the front-line troop of their dark elves, the dark warrior troop!
