Chapter 54 The attack of the forest elves
Tuesday, December 27th.
The fleet full of forest elves appeared at noon on the lake surrounding Yoffer City.
Because in a purely round lake, there are no hidden places for ships, the number of enemy ships can be said to be clear at a glance, with a total of sixteen, and the number is twice that of the Dark Elves of the City of Fair.
In other words, even if the ships in both camps have the same combat ability, Lu Ming and Kirito must sink the enemies on the eight ships.
"I didn't expect to experience a large-scale water battle in the floating city [Ain Grandet]..." Looking at the scene on the lake, Kirito couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It was like the naval battle in ancient Greece, and the shape of facing the face-to-face brown and black fleets breaking forward at the same time.
During the initial fierce conflict, there were two forest elves, and one of the dark elves was knocked into a hole and was silent after being slammed into the corner. This turned into fourteen enemy ships and only seven of our army left.
The ships carried by the forest elves were assembled from decomposed wooden boxes, so they became ugly ships with distinct angles in the bow and stern.
Compared with the beautiful ships of the Dark Elves Army, it is not only not as fast as possible, but its movements are not very flexible, but its sturdyness prevails.
In addition, as Kizmel was worried, the training level and morale of the Dark Elves soldiers were not as good as the enemy's. On several ships that were fighting on the side, there were more soldiers who were cut down from the water.
"Brave soldiers!"
The sound of resounding throughout the lake suddenly sounded. This was a tall knight standing in the center of the flagship with a golden shield and a straight sword flag printed on a high green base, and was obviously the commander of the enemy.
"Seize the [Emerald Secret Key] and turn all the despicable dark elves into dead souls in the lake!"
The other party's purpose was obviously to give priority to seizing the [Emerald Key]. After the divided ships were entangled, the remaining ships directly launched an attack on the city gate.
Although a ship is loaded with only 10 people, the opponent's attacking totals nearly forty people. Although it is not much compared to the real war, in SAO, it is equivalent to being surrounded by a bunch of monsters, not to mention that the opponent's soldiers are not weak.
"Damn it, can you just get on?" Kirito looked at the ten soldiers beside him and couldn't help but grit his teeth, "Lu Ming, if it really doesn't work, jump into the lake and escape."
Kirito moved his gaze to the water in the distance and found that many soldiers were splashing water, and soon they swam towards the north.
There will be no mortality in the game. In Kirito's opinion, this battle is given the rule that soldiers who fall into the water must retreat from the battlefield.
He had made up his mind that if things were not done, he would drag Kizmel away even if he was delayed.
In front, more than twenty enemy soldiers had arrived at the pier.
Because the width of the trestle bridge is allowed to be at most six soldiers side by side, the six spearmen on their side are arranged horizontally in front of the city gate to consolidate their defense, and the enemy also forms four rows of six people in each row.
At the end are the white knight who is the commander and a swordsman who wears a cloak and seems to be an adjutant.
Kirito stared at the soldiers who were posing the same long sword and small shield, and quickly approached here, looking at the color buoys and names on each other's heads.
The name is [Forest Elf·Light Warrior], which represents the color float, which is even redder than the sword soldiers and spearmen who have fought so far, and is obviously a little stronger.
On the other hand, the name of the self-guard is [Dark Elf, Gatekeeper]. Although I don’t know which side has stronger abilities than the light-mounted warrior, it is definitely at a disadvantage in terms of quantity.
The three of them could not occupy all the space in a row on the trestle. After that, the goalkeepers would definitely be broken through by four times the number of forest elves. In addition, the main battlefield on the lake should not last long.
Once your own ship collapses, enemy reinforcements will come to the pier.
Can he only pin his hopes on Lu Ming's strength now?
But......
Kirito suddenly turned around and looked inside the castle.
Viscount Yoferis, a master of fine swords, cannot withstand strong light due to illness, and can only hide in a completely dark room even during the day. This may also be the vitality of the mission!
We must believe that there should be a way to survive and fight here.
Or follow your unfounded intuition?
Cut off the moment of hesitation, Kirito shouted at his two companions:
"Lu Ming, Kizmel, help you with five minutes here!"
......
Looking at Kirito's departure back, Lu Ming opened his mouth and said nothing. You should ask me what I think!
Although the number of enemies was a little more, in his opinion, it was only possible to solve the problem with a few more swords.
"Believe in Kirito, he has never disappointed me!" Kizmel patted Lu Ming's shoulder and comforted, "You don't have to force yourself. If you think it's dangerous, don't hesitate and run away directly! There is no need to give up your life for us!"
Seeing Lu Ming pulling out the long sword from his waist with a "clang" sound, Kizmel was slightly stunned and couldn't help but smile a touching smile.
Sure enough, Kirito's companion is as kind as him!
Lu Ming: "..."
Although he couldn't read his mind, judging from the soft look of Kizmel's eyes, the other party obviously misunderstood. He just wanted to prove himself with his strength.
"Don't worry, although I don't know what Kirito's intention is to do this, the most important thing now is to delay time." Kizmel pressed Lu Ming's body.
OK, you guys have the final say!
"Forest elves, if you do this, you will completely break the peace between the two tribes for nearly a hundred years. Are you sure you will continue?" Kizmel stepped forward and shouted loudly.
Perhaps it was because of the nature of the race, the other party's progress actually stopped, and the commander behind him spoke coldly: "It was you who joined forces with the human race to build a ship to capture our castle! It's just that your attempt was discovered and the ship became our thing."
So there is something hidden behind this?
Kizmel obviously thought of this and decided to clarify. Lu Ming just watched the two sides talk back and forth, as if he was tacitly delaying time.
However, he just glanced at the lake and understood that there were still four Dark Elf ships at this time, and it was probably not long.
If Kizmel delayed time to wait for Kirito, then the other party was waiting for the battle on the lake to end completely, perhaps because he was concerned about Viscount Yoferis, who had not yet appeared.
However, the two who had different ideas obviously broke down after a short while.
"Get ready for battle!" Seeing the enemy approaching again, Kizmel took a deep breath.
"It should have been like this long ago." Lu Ming smiled lightly, leaned forward slightly, and made a stunning posture.
Because the enemy is a dense queue, if the opponent's formation is disrupted from the beginning, it will be difficult to let go of the battle afterwards.
"Judgement from the Sword!" His figure instantly turned into a white light.
This is the ultimate skill of Jessmon, which can manipulate data to achieve super-high speed movement, and at the same time, it uses the blade on the arm to cut the enemy into an instant.
However, because it is a human form, the way of display is different, and the speed and power are greatly reduced.
Despite this, in the dazzling flash and shock waves, the enemy's formation was completely disrupted, and the six people in the front row were all flying high in the air, and before they even fell into the lake, they turned into data and completely shattered.
Chapter completed!
