Compared to a normal archangel, Elvi has 189 more health points.
Coupled with the powerful armor of the Archangel on her body, Xu Lai could not imagine any level 8 that could confront the Archangel head-on, except for the Behemoth that could ignore the defense.
Even the Behemoth can only scream on land, and its flightlessness makes it always passively beaten.
And the Archangel is not a fool. The Archangel's agility is so high that even in a head-on battle, it is impossible to fight against the Behemoth with one sword and one claw.
What is likely to happen is that after the Archangel slashed the Behemoth several times with his sword, the Behemoth got a chance to take action.
And with the archangel's flexibility, it is really unknown whether the Behemoth can hit it.
Behemoths are stronger on the battlefield. At first, there were only a few Behemoths on the battlefield, and most of them were low-level Behemoths.
But even so, these Behemoth beasts are like bulldozers. Their thick arms and claws allow them to attack with the attack efficiency of several archangels in one swing.
The most important thing is that it is basically impossible to dodge on the battlefield, especially in a tight defensive formation, which allows the Behemoth to maximize its advantages.
If you really want to fight one on one, let alone the Archangel, even the Archangel's defeated Archdemon can easily play with the Behemoth.
Well, Xu Lai is thinking a little too far. Anyway, he still only has one archangel.
Cloud City, where angels live, is the only city in the entire empire that has one, and it is guarded by a temple.
Others who want to build Yunzhong City have only two ways. One is to establish an independent country and upgrade their castle to the capital level.
The reason why the human empire fell apart so quickly was not only because the High King did not inherit the bloodline, but also because several ambitious nobles wanted to found a country.
Another way is to destroy the ultimate troop nests of other camps. Maybe there is a chance that a blueprint can be exploded.
With the blueprints, Yunzhong City can be built to recruit angels without being the capital of the country.
However, the latter method may be even more difficult than the former method.
At least now that the empire is falling apart, if you take the opportunity to establish a country, you might actually have a chance to establish it.
To destroy the ultimate nests of other camps, not to mention entering the capital, at least the more powerful cities in these camps must be destroyed.
The light of the bonfire is very bright, and the area it shines on is also very warm.
The griffins lay in a circle around the fire, and a dozen tents on the outside circled around again. The firelight actually couldn't shine very far.
Elwee, Tahan and Yan Feng, the three of them took turns to keep vigil, and unanimously rejected the participation of Xu Lai and Yu Lan.
Anyway, Xu Lai was the main attacker during the day. The workload and physical exertion of these three people were not large, so Xu Lai simply let them go.
Just after Xu Lai fell asleep almost by the second, a large group of elite wolf riders finally arrived at the original orc outpost in the Pingfeng Mountains, separated by a mountain.
The Orc leader guarding here quickly went to report, but Tatarod frowned and kicked the Orc leader away.
If the big-eared monster is the lowest level in the stronghold, it is food.
Then half-orcs are third-class citizens in the stronghold camp and are discriminated against by almost all orthodox orcs.
Tatarod followed in his father's footsteps, and the expertise he learned was very different.
The main offensive technique is already master level, but the pathfinding technique is only intermediate. After all, he is only level 15, which is three levels lower than Xu Lai.
As soon as the tracking skill was used, the scene that appeared in Xu Lai's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Tatarod.
But what was different from Xu Lai's time was that the footprints that appeared in front of Tatarod were extremely dim, and their direction was not towards the mountain pass behind the outpost.
Xu Lai's cover-up worked, but the biggest cover-up came from time.
Although Tracking can view footprints within 24 hours, the longer the time, the more blurry the footprints will be.
Tatarod snorted and said to the orc leader: "Go and get some food for my wolves, hurry up!"
Hurry and hurry all the way, Finally, 24 hours were not missed, but the wolves were not good at running long distances, and most of them collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
In such a state, it was definitely impossible to continue tracking. Tatarod grabbed the half-orc commander's armor again and said:
"I ask you, have you sent anyone to the outpost opposite? Go and ask."
The face of the orc leader changed immediately, and he said with a grimace: "We are worried about destroying the traces left by humans, so we dare not act rashly."
Tower. Tartarod snorted coldly and said: "I'm afraid you are lazy!"
Having said that, Tartarod glanced at the dark mountain pass, but did not continue to criticize.
The Pingfeng Mountains are a continuous mountain range of several thousand meters. Although a pass here leads directly to both ends, it would take at least a day to pass through it on foot.
Back and forth, day and night, even if the orc leader really sent people there, he still can't get a reply.
Besides, the enemy's footprints have clearly appeared, and the enemy should not be stupid enough to go to the wilderness to die. Thinking of this, Tatarod asked again: "Have the other outposts been attacked by sneak attacks?"
The orc commander quickly shook his head and said: "During the day, we have sent people and various The outposts have been contacted, and all outposts have strengthened their vigilance and patrol range. Currently, no trace of human knights has been found, and no outposts have been attacked.”
Tatarod frowned. If the human knights were here to block their own retreat, there was no reason to attack only one outpost.
"You try to find a group of bad wolves for me. My wolves really can't run away anymore. I asked my knights to change their mounts and track them down immediately."
The footprints in front of him were extremely insubstantial, indicating that there was very little left before the 24-hour limit. If Tatarod didn't want to lose traces of the human knights, he couldn't afford to waste any time.
Furthermore, the report just given by the orc commander made Tatarod feel a bad worry in his heart.
At the same time, the ogre chief of the Bloodthirsty Department appeared outside the tent of Commander Taloshi.
Just now, the ogre priest in the tribe found him, and there was a new blood feud in their ogre tribe.
What happened on Pingfeng Grassland had nothing to do with Xu Lai. He went to bed late and got up early, full of energy.
When I woke up in the morning, I checked everyone's physical condition. Each soldier's personal indicators were basically displayed in green.
After replenishing water and food, my endurance, health, and mental state were all restored to full state.
Yesterday's battle allowed Xu Lai to regain his winning streak, and his morale was once again +5.
It's a pity that there are still at least dozens of battles to achieve a hundred consecutive victories.
The Heroic Aura of the Valiant Knight can increase the attack and morale of friendly forces within a range of 500 meters by 3 points by 3 points. The paladin effect of the Holy Light Knight will be replaced by Elvy's 5 morale points.
The troops under Xu Lai's command were given 8 points of morale, plus 7 points of morale from the master-level leadership technique, for a total of 20 points of extra morale.
60 points of basic morale, plus Xu Lai did not bring troops from other camps this time, so there is still 1 point of human and 3 points of camp morale bonus, plus 3 points of the vanguard flag and the duel with the stronghold camp 5 points of morale bonus (reward for the first victory of the legion war).
Including the 3-point morale bonus from the God of War's Foot, the total morale is 95 points. Even if Xu Lai does nothing, his morale will remain high.
And if he bears the brunt, with a full 10-point morale bonus, all troops will immediately enter a state of high morale.
Not only the attack, defense, and speed are all increased by 20%, but there is also a 5% chance of a knowing blow, which means there is a 5% chance of causing double damage.
However, a knowing blow and luck do not overlap, and the luck gained from visiting Swan Lake when setting off has long since disappeared. Xu Lai has no lucky treasures, so the probability of a double attack is not high.
Yesterday, the surrounding villages were cleared away. Today, Xu Lai wants to go deeper into the more complicated mountains.
On the map, the nearest stronghold city is only more than 60 kilometers away from Xu Lai's current location.
However, these more than 60 kilometers were a straight line distance. Xu Lai led the knights to run around various hills and wiped out three villages. It took two rounds to finally see this huge stronghold city.
It is different from the ogre town that Xu Lai conquered before. It is just a serious stronghold city, much larger than Xu Lai's fortress.
On the map, this place is marked as Kuba. It is a large ogre base camp-level city and one of the three major branches of the bloodthirsty tribe.
The entire bloodthirsty tribe has three large cities in total, Siqiang, the castle where the patriarch is located, and Ravana, another important branch.
Ravana is the farthest away from Xu Lai. Siqiang is the richest city in the Bloodthirsty Department. It is not far away. It can be seen by going around more than a hundred kilometers from Kuba.
However, the sight of Kuba in front of him already made Xu Lai feel powerless. As a castle, it was really difficult for Xu Lai to think of anything else.
The city wall of Kuba is seven or eight meters high, which is much shorter than Conaston Castle. The height of that castle is a full twelve meters.
Seven or eight meters is not considered high in a different world. After all, this is a world where there are terrifying giant creatures such as Cyclops, Titans, Behemoths, and dragons.
But for Xu Lai and the others, this is a daunting barrier.
The noble war horse under Xu Lai's crotch is already quite tall. Even the heroic war horses of Holy Light Knight and Tahan are only 2 to 2 meters tall. Counting the knight sitting on the horse, the height is at most Just over 3 meters.
Not to mention the 8-meter base camp wall, even Xu Lai's 5.2-meter fortress wall is not something the knights can climb if they want. At least there must be a ladder.
However, Xu Lai was really unwilling to retreat after he had come.
“Let’s go over and have a look!”
After saying that, Xu Lai took the lead and rushed to the front.
It is indeed a big city. Although Kuba is an ogre city, there are also many other orcs living in it.
When Xu Lai and the others approached, an orc threw a flying ax from a distance.
Of course, even with the bonus of the city wall, Xu Lai and the others were still far behind.
However, the catapult in the corner is a huge threat. It is certainly not easy to hit Xu Lai and the others who are moving at high speed, but it will be dangerous once they stop. (End of this chapter)
