Chapter 193 She is the controller of the Star Alliance (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!)
Sherman was checking the supply list when he suddenly heard a sharp war horn sound.
Warning of enemy attack!
Sherman frowned, put away the list and rushed out.
Not long after they walked, they ran into a group of wizard apprentices who were hurrying over, and the leader was none other than Arthur.
"Who is attacking the city?" Sherman asked.
Atil immediately replied: "Dark Elf!"
Sherman was not surprised to hear this.
The tribes and monsters around the city of Talen were basically wiped out, and the only enemies were the dark elves ahead.
The only ones who would attack the city of Talen at this time are the dark elves.
When Sheman and Arthur arrived at the top of the city, the battle had already begun.
The city of Talen is located in a huge cave, with a stone wall on one side and city walls on three sides.
The dark elves attacked from the south.
The armored ogres, bugbears, kobolds and lizardmen came like a tide, climbing the walls with retractable ladders and ramming the city gates with battering rams. The elite tauren troops were waiting in the rear, but they didn't see any dark elves.
The fortresses outside the city have all been occupied, and huge catapults have been set up, firing huge stone bombs at the top of the city.
If it were the original city of Taren, facing such a fierce attack, it would most likely be caught off guard.
But the emotionless golems had no idea what fear and panic were. They guarded the city walls calmly and wielded their iron fists to kill the enemies.
With rustling sounds, the double-edged spiders came around from the city walls on both sides, raised their sharp forelimbs and rushed into the enemy army. With almost no effort, they tore through the enemy's defense line and killed the enemy, forcing them to retreat step by step.
On the city wall, Sherman watched the scene calmly.
During this period, the Star Alliance captured many natives who escaped from the dark elves' territory and extracted a lot of valuable information from them.
This includes the Dark Elves' style of warfare.
Among these dark elves' cannon fodder, only the Tauren are the real main force. They are brave and ferocious, and much more elite than the likes of Bugbears and Kobolds.
The offensive was thwarted, and the ogres, bugbears, and gnolls began to retreat. Then a long war horn sounded, and fully armed tauren surged up from the rear and rushed towards the double-blade spider.
Seeing this, Sherman decisively gave the order to open the city gate.
Compared with defending a city, the Golem Legion can undoubtedly exert greater advantages in field battles.
Boom!
The city gate opened, and a tall and burly golem rushed out of it, passed the double-bladed spider and rushed to the front line, standing firmly like a Great Wall of steel, and no matter how the ferocious minotaurs attacked, it would not retreat even a single step.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, two elite steel golems slowly walked forward, a flash of light appeared on their chests, and a visible distortion fell into the minotaur array like a cannonball.
Crushing sound waves!
Buzz! The violent sound waves suddenly exploded, turning into a substantial shock wave that spread rapidly in all directions, instantly tearing apart the minotaurs within a radius of more than ten meters! The two elite steel golems kept moving, casting spells one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they killed hundreds of minotaurs.
Even a brave minotaur began to retreat in fear when faced with such a terrible attack.
At this moment, a huge spider illusion suddenly flashed in the distant sky, and then teams of lizard cavalry poured out of the fortress. The riders were all wearing exquisite chain mail, without helmets, revealing their long silver-white hair and black jade-like faces, and holding spears in their hands.
"Dark Elf!"
Sherman's eyes narrowed.
Finally they came out! These were the real elite troops of the dark elves, and those in front were just cannon fodder.
The lizard cavalry began to charge at a very fast speed, and in the blink of an eye they rushed into the golem army. With a flash of cold light, the stone golems were chopped into pieces one after another by the scimitars.
Looking at this scene, Sherman narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Just like the intelligence mentioned, these lizard cavalry are very powerful." Atil looked down at the battle below with a scrutinizing gaze, "Each of them has a knight-level combat power, and is no less powerful than the Black Rock Cavalry of the Star Empire."
The addition of the Lizard Cavalry immediately brought the situation back to normal, and the two sides fell into a melee again.
Sherman and Arthur looked at the situation below calmly, without any hurry.
To the Covenant, golems are merely consumables.
But for the Demon Spider City with limited military forces, every Lizard Knight is a valuable combat force, and the death of one will be painful.
In this war of attrition, they are not the ones who should be anxious.
Sure enough, a horn sounded soon from the front.
The Lizard Knights retreated like a tide.
Just as the golem army was about to give chase, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the shadows above their heads and passed through the middle of more than a dozen golems like a ghost.
In an instant, there were crackling sounds, and more than a dozen golems almost simultaneously turned into pieces and fell to the ground.
Amidst the rubble, a half-human, half-spider figure stood upright.
Its upper body is that of a beautiful dark elf woman, wearing tight-fitting, fine chain mail that reveals her graceful and seductive body curves, and holding two gleaming scimitars in her hands.
The lower half of the body is a huge black spider body, shining with a cold metallic luster under the fluorescent light, and its eight legs look sharper than those of a double-bladed spider.
"Spider Elf!"
Xie Man's expression became more serious.
This is the real formidable enemy they are facing.
After seeing it with his own eyes, Sherman realized that the spider elf was even more powerful than described in the intelligence.
Among the more than ten golems that were attacked and killed just now, there was an elite iron golem.
Being able to crush a second-ring legendary puppet as easily as cutting vegetables or chopping watermelons, the spider elf is obviously not an ordinary fourth-ring legendary creature.
Fortunately, they do have some hidden cards up their sleeve.
Sherman turned his head to look at the figure standing beside him. The other person was wearing a loose gray robe that covered his entire body. Even most of his face was hidden in the brim of his hat, and only a white chin could be seen.
To be honest, Sherman was quite surprised when he found out that the other party was a puppet.
He had never seen a puppet that looked so much like a human.
If he hadn't known it beforehand, he would have almost thought that the other person was a living human being.
Moreover, this puppet does not have the huge and hard body of the golem, which makes people doubt its fighting ability.
But Sherman didn't think much about it.
If it was just an ordinary puppet, how could it be sent here by the teacher to be used to deal with the spider elves?
Since it is the teacher's arrangement, there must be no problem.
“Please!” Xie Man whispered to the man in gray robe.
The latter nodded slightly.
The secret puppet with a medium-sized soul crystal as its soul core already possesses preliminary intelligence.
Although he is not as good as Long Lin's Butler No. 1, he has no problem accepting and executing orders like a normal human being, and can also conduct not-so-complicated communication.
Crash!
The grey robe was blown away, revealing the tall and slender figure of a girl.
She was nearly 1.7 meters tall, wearing a silver scale armor that fit her body tightly, clearly outlining her curvy figure, which was quite eye-catching.
In full view of everyone, the girl jumped off the city wall.
The speed of falling in mid-air suddenly slowed down, followed by a slight pause in stillness, and then the whole person suddenly soared into the sky and shot forward at lightning speed.
The spider elf who was slaughtering the golems immediately sensed the approaching threat and slashed forward with both swords. After a sharp explosion, two dark sword energies visible to the naked eye tore through the void and attacked the oncoming person.
The girl continued to run faster and was met head-on by the pitch-black sword energy.
The moment it touched the body's surface, an invisible force field suddenly emerged, blocking the two dark sword energies.
Immediately afterwards, the girl swung out a blue lightning with her backhand, which hit the spider elf.
【Lightning bolt】! Crack!
The dazzling electric light tore through the surrounding darkness.
Dense electric snakes instantly appeared on the spider elf's body, lingering on the surface of her skin. The severe pain made her unable to help but let out a shrill scream.
At the rear of the Dark Elf army, the Dark Elf leaders who saw this scene all showed expressions of astonishment.
"Spell!"
"That girl is a wizard?"
"She is the controller of the Star Alliance?"
It is no secret in the underground world that the leader of the Star Alliance is a powerful wizard.
The girl in front of them not only could cast spells, but she also made the spider elf suffer a loss in just one encounter. They couldn't think of anyone else with such powerful strength except the ruler of the Star Alliance.
"It must be her!"
The martial arts master from the Lerita family showed excitement on his face.
She is also the commander-in-chief of this army.
"I didn't expect the leader of the Star Alliance to appear here. This is perfect. As long as we kill her, the Star Alliance will surely fall into chaos, and we can take the opportunity to launch a massive attack!"
The other high-ranking dark elves also showed expressions of delight.
In the corner, there was a glimmer of surprise in Tatjana's eyes.
She didn't expect that the leader of the prestigious Star Alliance was actually such a young and beautiful girl.
However, it is said that wizards have ways to delay aging, and one cannot judge age based on appearance alone. Perhaps this girl has actually lived for hundreds of years.
While Tatana was thinking, the dark elf leaders had decisively sent all their troops forward.
The Minotaur army and Lizard Riders charged forward again.
Some elite dark elf warriors lurked in the shadows, approaching the battlefield silently.
On the city wall, Sherman, who noticed the unusual movements of the dark elves, ordered the reserve troops to move forward without hesitation.
There is an entire small army of golems stationed in the city of Talen, and he is not afraid of a single blow when it comes to military strength.
With the addition of a large number of troops, the area in front of the city wall quickly turned into a chaotic battlefield.
On the ground, the golem army and the dark elf army were fighting fiercely.
In the sky, the girl also had a fierce battle with the spider elf.
The colorful magical lights flashed in the air, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
Spells were released from the girl's hands one after another, with almost no pauses. Sometimes, two or three spells were released at the same time.
"How amazing!" Atil was stunned.
It's not like she had never seen a puppet that could cast spells before - the Elite Iron Golem and the Elite Double-Blade Spider, for example, could cast a small number of spells - but it was the first time she had seen a puppet like the girl's that could cast so many spells, and could even cast third-level spells, and at a casting speed that was almost equivalent to a combination of instant spell casting and compound spell casting.
This is almost catching up with the official wizard!
Sherman was also surprised, with a bright light flashing in his eyes.
He had never thought that puppet-making skills could reach such a high level! This was almost equivalent to creating a wizard alive!
It's simply amazing! "Maybe I should spend more time studying puppet refining."
Xie Man pondered silently.
Compared to the surprise on the Star Alliance side, the Dark Elves were horrified.
"how so?"
"The spider elf is no match for that guy?"
"This is the divine favor created by the Queen of Gods!"
Seeing the spider elves being defeated by the girl's attack and soon covered with wounds, the high-ranking dark elves were stunned.
Previously, they had relied on the spider elves to be invincible and successful in everything they did, which gave them great confidence.
But no one expected that they would suffer a heavy blow in the first battlefield confrontation with the Star Alliance.
For a moment, the dark elves were a little flustered and confused.
The commander, the martial arts master Lerita, also looked extremely unhappy.
At this moment, a shrill scream was heard over the battlefield.
The dark elves looked in astonishment. What they saw was a spider elf that was bound in midair by countless strange runes that were winding like long snakes, unable to move, and a sharp sword that was attacking like lightning! Swish! The demonic sword broke through the mail without any hindrance, deeply sank into the chest of the spider elf, and then stirred it vigorously, completely taking the spider elf's life.
Seeing this scene, the face of the martial arts chief of Lerita changed drastically. He no longer hesitated and decisively issued an order to withdraw.
A shrill horn sounded suddenly, and the dark elf army retreated in panic and fled backwards.
Seeing this, Xie Man on the city wall waved his hand decisively. A beam of fire instantly flew out of his hand, rushed into the sky, and bloomed like a firework, which could be clearly seen from a distance.
Ta-ta-ta! Suddenly, there was a dense and rapid sound of footsteps in the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of knights suddenly rushed out from the darkness.
Leading the way was the Dragon Antelope Knight, followed closely by the Magic Pattern Knights riding on the Black Rock Leopards.
Countless cavalrymen surged in from all directions like a tide, charging towards the dark elves like an overwhelming force.
Taking into account the existence of the spider elves and in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Sherman did not dispatch the Magic Rune Knights immediately. Instead, he asked them to lurk on both wings of the battlefield and remain motionless until the spider elves were killed and the dark elves were defeated and retreated, and then he launched the final attack.
And the effect is very significant.
The dark elves obviously did not expect that the Covenant had even more troops hidden. Caught off guard, the retreat quickly turned into a rout.
Countless dark elf warriors were caught up and killed by the cavalry during their retreat. Those who dared to resist were no match for the knights equipped with magic pattern armor and were quickly killed.
The dark elf army seemed to be completely defeated.
After a long chase, only a few dark elves managed to escape and disappeared into the darkness in panic.
Xie Man felt a little regretful.
The dark environment of the underground world is too advantageous for the dark elves, otherwise this should have been a perfect battle of annihilation.
But soon, Sherman's attention was attracted by the spider elf.
He immediately gathered people and prepared to send the spider elves to the Dragon Forest.
This is something the teacher specifically instructed.
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
