Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 466
It was a challenge, but Khaleda didn't take any risks. Instead, after recruiting new reinforcements and replenishing the fleet to more than 300 warships, she really started to fight back.

During this process, the black ark has always maintained that unhurried posture, and several kinds of magic are used in turn.

Not only did the reinforcements from the Sea Dreamers die or flee, there were hardly any left.

Sumi's Sea Clan troops have also been severely affected, and they have lost nearly [-]% of their strength.

No way, neither the sahuagin nor those powerful magics could be easily resisted by her murloc-based army, even if they were experienced in many battles.

But fortunately, she kept the more valuable Naga and mermaid, etc., and she also successfully verified Li Wei's conjecture.

Except for the sea dragons who fled in the chaos, there are less than twenty hydra and abyssal sea monsters in the vicinity of the black ark.

There are not many other miscellaneous sea beasts, roughly estimated to be only about [-].

For ordinary small fleets, this may be their full strength, but for the black ark, it is too little.

If the black ark itself is not considered, this part of the force is probably not as good as the army of the sahuagin.

Of course, it was the sahuagin who had just reached their prime.

The various powerful magics of the Black Ark are also unable to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the other party seems to have no intention of doing so.

Therefore, the sahuagin army, which was attacked by the sea dreamer, Sumi, and the Kalida fleet, is basically scrapped now.

Both Li Wei and Khaleda further confirmed the accuracy of this information through their own methods.

For a moment, everyone's morale was boosted. Now that they have seen through the opponent's disguise, it is even more necessary to fight this battle!

So Khalida gave an order, and the fleet sent out more teams to attack the Black Ark from other directions.

Not only to further investigate the reality of the opponent, but also to take the opportunity to disperse the strength of the opponent.

Even Li Wei took the boat himself, wanting to observe the opponent's combat power up close.

Now they seemed to have touched each other's sensitive nerves. Those sea dragons, together with nearly twenty Hydras and abyssal sea monsters, launched attacks underwater one after another.

These gigantic monsters, which were tens of meters at every turn, overturned more than a dozen warships almost as soon as they met each other.

It is also the first time Li Wei has come into contact with Hydra at such a close distance, and it can only be said that it is indeed as powerful as rumored.

Because the necks are long enough, melee units are often sprayed with a few waves of poison before they get close to them.

And because there are enough heads, even if their attack frequency is relatively low, the overall damage output is still very explosive.

What is even stronger is that these hydras actually know some basic cooperation.

One of the mosasaurs summoned by Li Wei was just unlucky, and was targeted by three Hydras at the same time, and was instantly killed in one encounter.

On the whole, they can fight, resist, and have self-healing ability. They are very versatile and powerful war behemoths.

Of course, they are not without weaknesses, that is, their magic resistance is relatively low, and Mikaela also specifically reminded Levi that they have a weakness of fire.

That is to say, in the sea, it is difficult for her to use fire magic.

If it was on land, her Yangyan explosion would not only kill most of its life, but also completely disable its self-healing ability in a short period of time.

In contrast, those abyssal sea monsters are much worse in all aspects, that is, their big mouths look like chrysanthemums with a ring of teeth, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable.

While thinking about it, Li Wei waited with Cindy to fight and retreat. Even if he wanted to attack, he couldn't rush.

At the same time, Khalida, Sumi and others also tried their best to separate these powerful enemies according to the plan just now.

No matter how powerful Hydra is, they still have plenty of ways to deal with a single 7th-level unit.

So slowly, when Li Wei and the others stretched the battle line for dozens of miles, they finally let most of the Hydra gradually fall into the single order.

There is nothing else to say, Li Wei used the hammer of justice to serve him directly.

The hydra is undoubtedly an evil creature, and it has to bear extra damage. In addition, its own magic resistance is relatively low, so each of his hammers is worth hundreds of points of damage.

Coupled with the cooperation of Cindy and others, they successfully killed the three-headed Hydra within 2 minutes.

Without considering the recovery ability, the upper limit of Hydra's health is actually slightly inferior to that of Sphinx.

Khalida on the other side also went all out, and joined forces with many priests to kill an abyss sea monster and two sea dragons.

The sand magic, which the priests of the Tomb Kings faction are best at, will indeed be greatly weakened in the ocean.

But when there are enough of them and there are many summoned objects as cooperation, they can still play a certain role.

And mummies are not only good at sand magic, there are also many curses, which can weaken the various abilities of Hydra to some extent.

At the same time, with the continuous accumulation of experience, they also found some tricks to resist the magic of the Black Ark battle.

Before the opponent successfully casts a spell, there will often be certain omens, such as the sky changing color, a large amount of magical energy gathering rapidly, or the howling wind and so on.

It is impossible to avoid it completely, because when you see those omens, the magic is often coming to an end, but at least it can reduce a little casualties.

But despite this, in Li Wei's view, Khalida is using her fleet to forcibly exchange with the opponent's Hydra or something.

Even if they were all killed, she might not be able to attack the black ark itself anymore.

As the battle continued, although the sahuagin side had completely withdrawn, there were also other evils such as snake pirates, nippeng pirates, etc., joining in one after another.

This kind of large-scale war is relatively rare in the nearby waters, so they don't have to pay attention to it.

As for those sea beasts, there is no need to say more, they came here following the smell of blood.

And I don't know if it's because of Hydra's dominance among sea beasts, or there are high-level animal trainers on the Black Ark.

Once they arrive, often before long, quite a few of them will be driven by the dark elves to directly attack Kalida's fleet.

Even the Dragon Might of the Dragon Cloud element is difficult to really work.

Its background is indeed special, but its rank is only 6th rank, so it can't take advantage of Hydra at all.

This situation made Li Wei feel a bit of a toothache. Its defense is super strong and its magic power is extremely powerful. It also carries a large number of troops and war beasts, and can temporarily control sea beasts in the wild.
It's no wonder that the black arks can traverse the world, grabbing them almost wherever they go, because they are really ridiculously strong!
Fortunately, Khalida's other fleets also arrived one after another, replenishing the number of warships again. Although the loss was heavy for a while, they were still able to barely reach the enemy.

Li Wei seized the time and specially picked those tough bones to snipe and kill. Every time he killed a few more, the fleet and Sumi's aquarium troops would be safer, and he would have one more Sphinx.

Then killing and killing, Li Wei found that the other party seemed to have discovered his purpose, and the remaining Hydra and his like began desperately trying to get out of the battle and return to the location of the Black Ark.

Of course he refused to let it go, and chased and killed him all the way, until he was stopped by Kane whipping him.

Watching the Hydra quickly sneak into it from the entrance below the black ark, Li Wei also gritted his teeth.

He casually fired two hammers of justice, smashing a burst of gravel, but in fact, for the huge black ark, this is not worth mentioning at all.

"Sumi, can you go in with me?"

Su Mi couldn't help but shook her head with a wry smile: "I was just about to tell you that we just spent a certain amount of money to find out that the entrance is usually closed, just like a magic gate."

"And apart from a large number of elite guards, there is also a special magic circle, and it is almost impossible to get in."

Glancing at Khaleda's fleet again, Li Wei found that its size was smaller than a few minutes ago.

If this situation continues, they will be wiped out before dark.

There is no way, the opponent's battle magic is too powerful.

You can't attack from the front, and you can't go underwater, so you can only attack from the sky?
To be honest, Levi didn't really want to do this, because it was too risky.

What Khalida brought was a fleet. Once she chose to launch an air strike, except for a few priests and some summons that could help, everything else would have to rely on Li Wei's own strength.

At that time, they will face the main force of the dark elves who have home court advantage, black dragons, manticores, harpies, etc. as minions, and use ballistas and armor-piercing crossbows.

Dark elves are also elves, and their martial arts and equipment are among the best among many races.

They just suspect that the other party may be weak, but if they fail to confirm it for a moment, these threats must be taken into account.

If Malus Blackblade is also hidden in it, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, this possibility is extremely slim.

Based on the information that Li Wei has collected so far, Marus' personal combat power is unparalleled, and his eloquence is also very strong.

Li Wei even knew that Marus had reached a short-term cooperation agreement with the Beastman Shaman.

Although the Beastman betrayed him without any accident, and he chopped off the other side with his backhand without any accident, his wisdom can be seen.

But once encountering a large-scale war, unless it is crushed by strength, he will either win miserably or simply lose.
In the Three Kingdoms, Marus basically belongs to the typical Wei type. Small-scale gatherings can fight, but it is difficult to beat other famous generals in large-scale wars.

He doesn't seem to have learned to use his wit and cunning in command at all.

Although so far, the many tactics adopted by the Black Ark are not particularly brilliant, but they are indeed not like Malus' style.

At this moment, Mikaela suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, Li Wei, good news, the sea dreamer has successfully captured the Gravel Islands, and the Dragon Prince has also defeated the beast lord's black ark, and is currently heading towards Dragon Fang. Mountain march!"

Li Wei was also refreshed: "In other words, there is only Fear Rock left for the dark elves?"

"Uh, no, Princess Belinda also said that the sea queen's pirates have cooperated with the dark elves to take down the Dragon Islands, so the dark elves still have two territories."

"As for the spirits of Taboc, they are dead in name only."

Without a town of its own, without god-given buildings and logistical supplies, even if it still retains some strength, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time. This is a well-known fact.

What's more, the main force of Taboc's spirit had already been wiped out in previous battles.

Li Wei couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly: "Tell the news to Khalida first, and let everyone get ready for battle."

He didn't want to take risks at first, but if the other two sides have won, and only his own side has suffered a lot of damage here, but has made no progress, wouldn't it be looked down upon by others?
And if there is a little more delay, when the Dragon Prince's army arrives, even if they capture the Fear Rock, how much success will they get?
Perhaps in the beginning, he just tried to test the opponent's reality and familiarize himself with the rhythm of naval battles.

But unknowingly, his goal has undergone a major change. He no longer simply considers meritorious deeds or trophies, he cares more about the Fear Rock itself!
So even if there was danger, he decided to go for it. At worst, he would go up alone with the Death Guard, and the others would cover behind.

As soon as this idea emerged, Elegy had already leaned over: "Li Wei, don't try to abandon me this time."

Although he hasn't spoken yet, she already knows what he will think out of a long-standing tacit understanding.

Really, every time he encounters a particularly dangerous situation, he always thinks of fighting alone and leaving them behind, obviously she is the fighter, okay?
Li Wei glanced at her, didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

She, like Donna, has always been assertive, maybe Amazon is like that?

So Li Wei turned to sorting out his many collections. If he wanted to minimize the danger and maximize the success rate, he would naturally go all out.

Seeing that Li Wei didn't refute, Elegy couldn't help laughing rather complacently.

Then her voice changed: "By the way, Li Wei, do you think that if we come a few days later, will the dark elves take advantage of the trend to attack Paradise Island?"

"Very likely, at least the Beast Lord should be very interested in you."

Amazonians like to domesticate dinosaurs, but not only dinosaurs, but also some ground vultures, giant macaws and stegosauruses, etc.

However, the most powerful thing on Paradise Island may still be the special guardian that exists only there-King Kong Giant Ape.

A kind of super-giant ape of level 7, not low in intelligence, equipped with weapons and armor, and even able to use crude martial arts including over-the-shoulder throws after training.

It's fine if the beast lord doesn't know, because Amazon has always been relatively low-key, but if he knows this information, then he will definitely go to attack because of his collection addiction.

Maltis didn't know where he came from: "Count me in, I feel that I have become more proficient in controlling the power of death recently."

Li Wei also did not refuse. He was a little worried at first. After finding out her identity, would she become confused because of losing her goal, and even lose the motivation to live?

But Maltis has shown with practical actions that she is not that kind of idiot.

While constantly torturing the soul of the dracolich in the bone horse for revenge, she is also constantly researching the power of death, and the appearance of her efforts even gave Li Wei a bold guess.

Could it be that she wants to use this to find the missing Goddess of Death, and then ask for clarification in person?
"Li Wei, and me."

Mikaela also jumped out: "Princess Belinda performed quite well in the battle, and was even praised by the Dragon Prince. I don't want to be left behind by her every time."

For this reason, Li Wei also could not refuse.

However, Mikaela's level is not low, and her little red has grown into a level 7 blazing phoenix. The overall strength is still very strong, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

And now two mages paired with two fighters just complement each other.

During the conversation, in less than 2 minutes, Khalida approached in person, obviously reacting greatly to this.

"Li Wei, we need to change our battle strategy. I hope to resolve the battle here before the Dragon Prince arrives!"

"Air strike?"

"Air strike, I'm with you!"

"But without your command, your generals"

Khalida has indeed changed a lot recently, but those generals are still elm-headed.

However, those more clever God's Chosen heroes didn't know that they encountered enemies on the road, so they delayed their trip.

Or maybe they saw some chance to make a fortune. In short, not many came to meet after receiving her order.

Ever since Ramses II leaked her whereabouts before, she has maintained a certain degree of suspicion towards these people. This time, she may be more dissatisfied, so it is naturally difficult to entrust them with important tasks.

So Li Wei felt that if he went in with Khalida and failed to solve the Dark Ark immediately, then when they came out, there would probably be nothing left in her fleet.

Of course, Khalida is not unaware of this point. In the past, their ability to deal with ratmen, undead, and occasional pirates on the coastline was sufficient.

But once they encounter more complicated situations, their rigidity and slowness are fully exposed.

However, she didn't particularly care.

Because for the Tomb Kings, all heroic units can be resurrected, it just costs some resources, she really doesn't care.

For so many years in Lahmia City, she may not have done much other than collecting information about Neferita and targeting the Silver Blood Army, but she has collected a lot of wealth.

As for those troops, it would be a pity if their elites were lost.

But under the land of Lahmia City, there are still dozens of hundreds of times the army waiting for her to call.

If the destruction of this fleet can be exchanged for the overturning of the Black Ark, then their sacrifices are not worthless!
Of course, she didn't need to speak out so bluntly about squandering her subordinates at will.

Because she could see that the relationship between Li Wei and his subordinates was obviously completely different from that of her, the Queen of the Tomb.

So she just nodded vigorously to show her determination.

"Hehe, okay, Khalida, Mikaela, Elegy, Maltis, you follow me first, and I will let Donna cover you."

"Cindy!"

"Come on!"

"You take the angels to protect Saifa and Sally first. If we successfully break in and go well, you can escort them to join the battle. When necessary, you can call your father."

"Okay, leave it to me, Brother Li Wei!"

"Nochon!"

"Sir, I am here!"

After quickly issuing a series of instructions, Li Wei also summoned the dragon and cloud elements, some celestial creatures, and large-scale wind elements again, and then took advantage of the black ark magic to take off directly on the Frost Heart Phoenix named Xiaolan .

Well, this name was not given by him, but by Elegy. It can only be said that she is also a bad namer, and she is also suspected of plagiarism.

However, Elegy did not share Xiaolan with him this time, but took Xiaohong with Michaela who was tens of meters away.

This was mainly because she considered that Maltis, who was an undead, might dislike the heat and flames on Xiaohong's body.

Yes, now behind Levi is Martis.

As for Kalida, she rode a sphinx that could fly at high speed, and her priests even prepared five of them for her as spares, or as cannon fodder in an emergency.

Not to mention, in this case, their take-off immediately attracted the attention of both the enemy and us.

At one time, at least 100 ferocious sea beasts launched long-range attacks on them in their own ways.

But these attacks often lose speed and accuracy after they leave the water, and are basically intercepted by the angels. Occasionally, the remaining ones can't break through his big slap at all.

Mikaela's side is also very easy, Xiao Hong can turn those attacks into nothingness by spitting out two flames at will.

In contrast, Khalida was a little helpless, because she had to do it herself.

Apart from flames, etc., the biggest weakness of the Tomb Kings is that they are not good at air combat at all.

Their whole family, apart from carrion vultures, couldn't find a second general-purpose flying unit at all.

But in any case, they almost did not suffer any effective interception, and they were already close to within one mile of the black ark. This was something that Khalida's many warships could not do.

At the same time, they all know that the next journey may be the most dangerous.

Sure enough, with a series of ear-piercing screams and flapping of wings, at least two or three thousand harpies rose up first, black as a cloud.

Then came a hundred or so manticores, who were also familiar faces.

Although they look ferocious, they are actually quite powerful, but they are enslaved by multiple races, and their experience is actually quite miserable.

At this moment, they are aggressive, and they seem to want to intercept Li Wei and the others outside the airspace of the black ark.

Mikaela immediately released a series of fireballs, Kalida also summoned yellow sand and poison, and Li Wei activated all the remaining eagle guards in his hand, preparing for an air battle with the opponent.

Then he let the dragon cloud elements move towards the most densely populated place of the opponent, and display the dragon's might.

In fact, according to his original intention, he wanted to find other flying units hidden in the opponent's army. Otherwise, he would have a hard time holding back a bunch of black dragons that suddenly popped out while they were fighting.

But unexpectedly, this trick was unexpectedly effective.

A large number of harpies scattered, and some simply fell headfirst. The dense formation suddenly became much sparser, which made Li Wei stunned for a moment.

It wasn't because of Longwei's effect that it was unexpected, but that the opponent really only dispatched these two types of flying units, and there were no hidden units among them.

No matter how weak you are, it won't reach this level, right?
Glancing at the dense forest below, Li Wei knew that there might be fraud in it. After all, this is the opponent's home field, so there is no need to take risks.

He immediately snorted softly: "Come on, let's move on and find an open place before landing."

The black ark was transformed from an island, and its area was very large. If the opponent only had this level of air defense force, then they would just find an open place to land, and they would feel as if they were in no-man's land!
The others naturally had no objections, so under the cover of the eagle guards, they fought and moved, and flew towards the central area of ​​the black ark.

Although the manticore and the harpies tried their best to stop them, it still didn't help, it just added some casualties.

Seeing them escape so easily, in the rainforest below, the temporary admiral Lunara gritted her teeth for a moment.

"They are really cunning Azuls. As long as they descend a few tens of meters, they will fall within our range!"

Her adjutant couldn't help worrying: "Lord Lunara, what should we do next? News has just come from Dragon Tooth Mountain that the beast lord has been repelled by the Dragon Prince."

"What? Damn it, why didn't you say it earlier and order the withdrawal of the troops immediately. I will personally repel those invaders. Everything is for the glory of our Du Luqi!"
