"What should we do with those two bloody shrines?"
Snorri closed his eyes and quickly turned his brain, and a magic arrow projected by Medusa landed not far away. As long-range artillery, they can cause high amounts of magic damage, even if their own anvil guards are hit, they will be in trouble.
"Aim at those evil things and fire!"
At this moment, a captain on the right-wing Cathay cavalry couldn't help it any longer. He pointed his sword, and the gunners immediately began to take aim.
"Help!"
"I can't move!"
"Where's the Admiral? Admiral, please save me!"
The gunners paid the price for their good eyesight. Before the spellcasters on the treasure ship could rescue them, they turned into lifeless stone statues in the horror of their comrades. This force, beyond the realm of mortal comprehension, caused the rest of the ship's crew to attempt to break away from their posts.
"If Yinyin were here, they wouldn't collapse so easily."
Snorri sighed and muttered, large monsters can generally induce fear and frighten the enemy. Compared to the humans in the old world who have extremely close ties with the dwarves, he has not yet gained much fame among the middle and lower classes in Cathay.
The difference between short-lived and long-lived species is also reflected here. Human generals lack the opportunity to fight against multiple races in their limited lives, so many battlefield experiences need to be paid for with their lives.
"Yang Qi is back!"
Master Sheng hurriedly ran to the bow of the ship to save the situation. He used the Yang element's Cui Yu Jue to create a barrier with the fiery wind of light. In addition to resisting damage, it also boosted the spirits of all friendly forces protected by it.
"Let them shoot freely, and there is no need to aim at such a big target!"
After two or three rounds of confrontation, Black Ark sailed into the range of individual soldiers' long-range weapons. Crane gunmen, dwarf muskets, and crossbowmen from both families formed a dense firepower network, and those who exchanged fire with them were the crossbowmen of the dark elves.
The shooters on both sides tried to kill the opponent's effective forces before the close combat. After several shots, the Tower of Divine Bless the Evil Party crashed into the Cathay treasure ship.
"Duang!"
"Whoops!"
The countercurrent and turns have reduced the speed of the Black Ark to a very low level, but its huge mass still brings a great impact. For a moment, even the dwarves with their large mass and low center of gravity staggered, and the Cathayans' formation was even slightly chaotic.
"What's going on?" Canova found that the treasure ship retreated a few feet and resisted it. It was not directly knocked to the side as he imagined, leaving a way to escape.
"Iron chain! It's an iron chain!" a sharp-eyed sorceress shouted.
"Bang!" What she received was not a commendation but a blow from the whip. The admiral's strength was so great that he pulled the woman's skirt open, exposing her flesh and blood. But what was surprising was that not only was she not annoyed, but there was a sickly blush on her heavily made-up face.
"Kill them and cut them off!"
Canova roared angrily. He had been fighting at sea for hundreds of years, and he easily thought of what measures Snorri had taken to stop his fleet.
"Sai Sarayin protects us. Anyone who dares to put it in front of us will either be a slave or die!"
The dark elves believe in the gods of hell known as Sai Sarayin. They are headed by the bloody-hand god Kane, and other gods also have a broad belief base.
A large number of dark elves jumped from the towers of the Black Ark, led by the most agile pirates. They were good at fighting on the side of the ship, and before the gangway was set up, they used their grabs to lure them over.
"Free fire with muskets! Kill the melee troops as soon as possible!"
Snorri commanded the overall situation on the bridge of the treasure ship, and his guards quickly killed the dark elves rushing towards him. Treasure ships attract the attention of greedy pirates, especially when combined with dwarves.
The dragon fleet does not have many cavalry, so their basic tactics are to resist the line with front-line troops, with remote output from the back-line, and with mages providing extraordinary support. This set of tactics is very similar to the common tactics of the dwarves, and there is nothing obscure about Snorri's command.
The Black Ark pirates arrived quickly and delivered quickly. They lacked protection. In front of the Iron Hailgun, a short-range and large-caliber weapon, their mere sea dragon skin cloaks were instantly beaten into pieces. Those who were lucky enough to land found it difficult to use the scimitars and iron claws in the hands of Yu Yong, who was wearing heavy armor.
"Interesting, is this the role of Ninghe?"
Seeing the tacit cooperation between the distant and close combat troops from a high position, Snorri secretly sighed in his heart. He used some knowledge of Yin Yang, Five Elements, and Taoist thought in his previous life to examine the battlefield in front of him. It seemed that the Cathayans had formed a harmonious Tai Chi diagram to continuously destroy the enemy on the opposite side.
"Let those dragon guards prepare, a decent opponent is coming!"
After a moment of fighting for the side of the ship, the dark elf infantry who had completed the formation on the Black Ark came over. Behind the Darkran Swordsmen and Dread Spearmen who were equipped with shields to withstand long-range fire, Snorri saw some Naggarond Black Guards holding halberds and other more advanced infantry.
"Be careful with those women! Use long weapons and don't let them get close!"
The dwarf king shouted, and a group of dark elf women with scantily clad clothes and bloody evil patterns on their bodies jumped out impatiently as soon as they passed the gangway. They waved their daggers wildly, these sharp tools coated with deadly poison.
These women are called witch spirits. They are born to satisfy Cain's thirst for blood and sacrifice, and they can be said to be the most cruel of this cruel race. Before going to the battlefield, they will drink blood wine mixed with poison and kill the enemy in a state of madness.
"They are very flexible! Fortunately, the people on board are all professional soldiers."
Although he retreated and gained some distance, many of the jabs from Yuyong's spear were dodged. Some witch spirits tumbled in front of them, while others had their bodies pierced and continued to advance along the spear shafts, vowing not to stop until their blood was drained.
"Hahaha, these ragged people rushing into our military formation are like moths flying into a flame!"
When Jiuniang just used the Arrow Retraction Technique, she overloaded her magic power in order to cover the entire defense line. She sat aside and rested for a while before she could catch her breath. Of course she was very proud to see her own warriors still holding on to the front in the face of a desperate enemy.
"wrong!"
Although the Yuyongs maintained their front line, in order to control the distance to prevent the Witch Spirit from getting close and to avoid being accidentally injured by their own side from a distance, they had already retreated a few feet from the initial position of clinging to the side of the ship. Looking at the vacated deck, Snorri suddenly shouted.
"Boom!"
The sky suddenly exploded, and a black chaotic lightning crashed down from the sky, hitting the Jade Yong Army formation compressed into a dense formation.
"Sacrifice Kane with the blood of your enemies!"
Following closely behind were a group of guys holding alien swords in front of their chests with both hands, and they strode towards the scattered military formation.
