Devil's Journey

Chapter 230 Quick Assault

However, the number of these surviving gray dwarves is not many, and there are only a few dozen accompanying the team at this time, unable to withstand the heavy consumption, they can only follow as guides.

The team of more than 800 people is not very large on the ground, but in the underground tunnels, it seems a bit crowded, so they can only be divided into several battle groups as much as possible.

The demonized half-elves in front swiftly killed some gray dwarve sentries, but as the team gradually approached the lair of the gray dwarf tribe, they inevitably alarmed the other party.

A fierce battle broke out suddenly, and after the duergar's patrol sent out the alarm, they fired crossbow bolts at the half-elves with heavy crossbows, while avoiding the tricky feather arrows of the half-elves.

These half-elf rangers have been strengthened physically and mentally after being demonized. In addition, they have some dark vision, increased resistance to fire, darkness, etc., and some of them have awakened some spells and become magic shooters.

Although the tunnel was quite dark, both sides could see the enemy from a certain distance, but they still couldn't see clearly. Even the half-elves had to get as close as possible to shoot at each other.

But shooting at close range is beneficial to the gray dwarves. After all, the gray dwarves are short and strong and wear heavy armor to shoot. If the bows and arrows of the half-elves are not enough pounds, they can't even shoot through the heavy armor of the dwarves.

The armor on the half-elves is much thinner. Even though they have been strengthened after they belonged to Julian, they are still mainly made of iron-inlaid leather armor. The first-level plate armor is almost the same.

And those gray dwarves who are digging underground all day are all wearing high-quality plate armor, so it is more advantageous to shoot at close range.

The captain of the half-elf scout saw that his side couldn't take advantage, so he ordered a temporary retreat. Of course, it wasn't just that, the scout team was followed by the swordsman team.

Almost all half-elf soldiers can be regarded as rangers, but rangers like them are not only good at archery, they are also good at swordsmanship and close combat.

However, the team of half-elf swordsmen wearing heavy mail armor was only formed after they surrendered to Julian. They didn't have so much equipment before, and they didn't even wear leather armor for a higher attack speed. They were known as sword dancers.

However, the restructured sword dancers couldn't dance anymore. The heavy mail armor on their bodies restricted their attack speed and agility, but it also greatly increased the defense of these sword-wielding rangers.

Holding swords in both hands and wearing steel helmets, the half-elf swordsmen lined up in threes and fives. Under the cover of shooting from the scouts, they lowered their heads and rushed through the tunnel quickly. Although they couldn't dance, their speed was still very fast.

Whether it is the scout team or the swordsman team, they are all the elite of the half-elf, and the lowest strength is the lower Bronze rank. Their strength is not bad, and they quickly rushed through the shooting areas of both sides, but still left behind several fallen figures , I do not know life and death.

The gray dwarves naturally discovered the assault of the half-elves. The gray dwarves are similar to half-elves and orcs. When they become adults, they have the strength of the upper class of black iron, and it is not difficult to break through the bronze rank. It can break through to the Bronze Rank before the prime of life.

However, it is a little bit reluctant to go up to the silver rank, and most of them will stop at the bronze rank for life. Only a small number of people with good talents can break through, and it is even more difficult to break through the gold rank.

In this regard, the advantage of the huge population of human beings is highlighted. Of course, the existence of demons outside the standard is not counted.

With a roar, the gray dwarf patrol team dropped their heavy crossbows, picked up their hammer axes and pounced on them. Although they didn't know why these long-eared people attacked them, since they were enemies, they should be taught a lesson.

The half-elf rushing forward from the front row suddenly used two practical low-level spells prepared at the same time, and saw a gust of wind, the half-elf of the swordsman team suddenly increased their speed, and at the same time the single-edged sword in their hand There was also a flash of light on the sword.

Those are light body technique and sharpness technique, two practical and low-level skills. After the half-elves are demonized, they can be powered by magic power soon.

The half-elf swordsmen blessed with the light body technique seem to have regained the feeling of being without armor, except that they will still be restricted by the chain armor when swinging their swords. ax hammer.

Then he stabbed the sword blade into the bodies of those stocky gray dwarves, but the gray dwarves had thick blood, so they didn't immediately fall down, but frantically wanted to fight back.

The half-elves still wanted to dodge deftly, but the narrow environment in the pit made their second dodge too difficult, and if they were not careful, they would bump into their comrades or their enemies.

It was also difficult to wield the double swords, so they could only stab as hard as they could. Relying on their superb skills, the half-elf swordsmen managed to kill the patrol team of a dozen or so dwarves with a small number of casualties.

"The command has an order, make a quick assault."

The military orders from the rear made these half-elfs look a little dignified, but the half-elf soldiers who came out of the flames of war were no longer as loose as before, and understood the majesty of the military orders.

Soon the forward team left the wounded, no longer concealed and advanced quickly, they wanted to rush to the camp of the gray dwarves as much as possible before all the gray dwarves were mobilized.

At the very least, they can't be blocked in the narrow tunnel, otherwise the team will not be able to expand at all. If that's the case, Beryl can only make a move.

Afterwards, the march of the entire mixed team also accelerated. Although the original mission was just a test, since Beryl changed the mission, they didn't have the courage to protest.

Who dares to protest against a legendary dragon, not to mention that there is a more powerful demon behind this dragon, he may not necessarily die if he obeys orders, and he will definitely die if he does not obey orders.

The gray dwarves were obviously caught off guard, and the sudden attack of the half elves didn't stop until a defensive camp of the gray dwarves.

There was a team of gray dwarves guarding the camp in the empty cave, about a hundred people. The half-elves failed to attack the camp, so they could only retreat temporarily, but they still guarded the entrance of the tunnel.

The gray dwarves had already received the warning, but they hadn't decided whether to stand by and wait for help, or to take the initiative to attack, and the half-elves killed them.

The gray dwarves tried to fight back, but found that they couldn't repel the half-elves, so they could only stick to the camp and wait for their own support.

The two sides sat quietly and confronted each other for several hours, until the reinforcements from both sides arrived, but unfortunately due to the constraints of the battlefield, even though the teams of both sides were not large, they still couldn't expand.

Although the half-elves guarded a tunnel entrance, if they wanted to rush out, they would definitely be attacked by the heavy crossbows and ballistas of the dwarves. Shirley carefully checked the camp in the cave.

In the dim light, the camp made of stones was not that big. There were other facilities outside the camp. I wondered if there were any traps. Maybe Shirley had been watching for a long time, and suddenly a ballista was fired from the gray dwarf camp.

Shirley snorted coldly, raised her head and raised the magic short gun, and with a bang, the magic projectile fired by the short gun accurately hit the ballista in the air.

With a bang, the fuel ballista was directly exploded by the magic bullet, and the orange flame ignited, illuminating half of the cave.
