Chapter 679
There were no easy opponents among those that dared to travel to a different world and freely roam about in enemy territory!
Mary’s vampire army had swollen like a rolling snowball after she took advantage of Billis drawing away the attention of the Skywater City elves.
However, the ravaging of the vampire army incited Skywater City’s response– a standard elven army of three thousand soldiers. From chimera squads to druid squads to green fairy squads; in all seriousness, the elves were treating Mary and her vampires as an actual army.
After a sloppy battle at Morgan Valley, Mary had unhesitatingly led all her vampires away in an attempt to escape!
She had no choice. The vampires’ survivability was truly powerful, but they were still far from being able to fight with a proper elven army.
Without qualified defenders and ranged units for cover, the vampires were exterminated by an accurate barrage of elven arrows before they could even get close to the elves. The vampires that, luckily, managed to approach the elves due to the cover of trees and terrains were surrounded by war dancers the moment they showed themselves.
This batch of newly converted vampire spawn experienced a tremendous loss of Physique, Strength, Agility, and intelligence compared to actual vampires. The blood elves who endured the intense change of blood and did not regress into wild beasts were a minority after all. Ordinary elves could only be modified into these inferior vampires that just knew how to obey orders.
Moreover, they had only just completed the alteration of their blood and were yet unused to this half-elf, half-vampire form of theirs.
A dozen high-grade druids draped in green leaves and vines stood behind Elder Antoril’s back. Amongst them were as many as four Second Grade druid masters. Even the remaining druids were elite druids with individual specializations of their own.
Such a powerful druid squad would be a treasured elite unit in any elven army. They wouldn’t hastily be sent into battle out of fear of suffering casualties. However, they had no choice today. To avoid letting the vampires escape, these druids would have to serve as vanguards and scouts!
“Leave it to us!” The druid elder was clearly a close friend of the commander. He very generously spoke, “These evil fellows! They have already ravaged the elven villages near the west coast. I was just thinking of settling that debt with them! Let’s go and show them a little color, shall we?”
The druid elder roared, and eighteen druids in eagle helms raised the staffs in their hands in unison. They quickly transformed into giant eagles and featherwing serpents amidst a blinding green light. They then dove forward into the forest.
The druid elder, on the other hand, rapidly turned into a massive thunder roc, spreading his wings and soaring ahead.
The size of this thunder roc and the intensity of the electricity that clad its body was shocking!
With such a group of druids leading the way, the safety of the elven archers was finally ensured to some extent. The routed hippogryph squad gathered together once more. Their numbers had been cut in half, but the remaining riders were still in good spirits. They all requested permission from the commander to continue their pursuit.
With the consent of the commander, this squad of only twenty hippogryph riders quickly followed after the giant thunder roc and pursued in the direction of the enemy.
Several kilometers behind them, a large group of war dancers, archers, and green fairies were traversing the forest in a loose formation, trying their best to keep up with the flying scouts.
One had to acknowledge that the vampires were not the match of this elven army when it came to frontal warfare. However, when it came to a battle of mobility, this elven army wouldn’t be able to touch the soles of the vampires’ feet, even if their numbers increased tenfold.
It couldn’t be helped. The vampires had unique Physiques. They only needed to suck some blood from forest creatures to maintain their stamina and energy. Meanwhile, while these elves were all elites, they were still made of flesh and blood. They were far from being capable of competing with monsters like vampires in terms of stamina!
