While the elves were reporting the information obtained from the small village layer by layer, Greem and Alice were discussing countermeasures facing the wooden statue.
At this time, the giant floating ship was hovering over an isolated island 110 nautical miles away from the Jialan Continent.
The isolated island is not big, only a mile or two in radius, and it is covered with black rocks. Not to mention animals and plants, even the soft soil is not much.
Due to the rugged terrain on the isolated island, there was really no space for the giant floating ship to land smoothly, so Greem could only let it hover ten meters above the ground, resting and preparing silently.
We just fought a battle and captured some elf prisoners. We must find a place to 'place' them down as soon as possible. You can't roll around with a group of prisoners to fight, right
Therefore, a group of construction machinery was dispatched from the giant floating ship, and a small underground prison was dug out from a hidden location on the isolated island, and then all the elf captives were stuffed into it.
After lightening his burden, Greem took advantage of the situation and announced that he would rest on this isolated island for three days.
In this remote area, there was no other form of entertainment. Greem just gave the wizards of the family a fighting buffer to accommodate the upcoming battles. According to the information obtained from the torture by the poisonous woman Endor, Greem has initially grasped the locations and general deployment of all the elf villages, towns, and cities within a thousand miles around the entire south coast.
Once Greem has digested this harvest, in the next month or two, the Crimson Family will launch a large-scale surprise attack on the elf defense line on the south coast. The targets of the attack are all randomly selected. As long as they are not blocked by the strong elves on the battlefield, relying on the flying giants to go high and high, the elves will have no target to stop them.
The south coast stretches for 30,000 miles of zigzag coastline. Even if the elves are all covered with eyeliner in the magical forest, it is difficult to prevent the giant floating ship from penetrating from any position. In Nuoda's magical forest, the elves want to defend everything, even if all the elves in the central mountain range are sent out, it will not help.
If Greem was the commander of the elves, he would be helpless against such an enemy who came and went without a trace. The only solution is to shrink the line of defense and relocate most of the residents of elf villages and towns to cities with strict protection measures.
Only in this way can unnecessary casualties be minimized, and the powerful wings of the elf legion can cover those ordinary elves with low combat effectiveness.
But once this is done, a small number of elf cities will also bear huge pressure to survive, and will also abandon the vast magical forest to that mysterious enemy.
Besides, if the elf commander on the south coast really had the heart to do this, Greem would slap his ass and take his people to other areas to make trouble. At that time, other defense zones will have to face the same difficulties and unwillingness as the south coast defense zone.
Of course, elves are not rookies like goblins, who can be bullied by wizards at will.
Looking at the internal composition of the Elven Legion, there is more than one unit that can pose a huge threat to the floating giant. From top to bottom, the most terrifying thing is of course the Green Dragon Army.
Although the giant floating ship has powerful firepower, once it encounters the green dragon army, it doesn't need to be too many. As long as there are three or four Tier 2 green dragons, it can basically knock down the giant floating ship from the sky.
After all, the dragon clan is recognized as the king of air combat!
However, with the arrogance and laziness of the giant dragons, if they want to drive them thousands of miles from the central mountains to the remote borders to encircle and suppress some "rogue bandits", the price paid is so high that any elf commander may not be able to bear it. Stop thinking twice.
Therefore, as long as the floating giant ship does not approach those large elf cities, the probability of encountering dragons is very small. To put it bluntly, if those green dragons dared to stand alone, Greem wouldn't mind sending out the dragon slaying team directly under the family again to complete a dragon slaying feat on this Faen plane.
After eliminating the dragons, the flying troops in the elf legion are the biggest threat to the floating giant.
The flying troops of the elves are composed of Pegasus Knights, Hippogryph Archers and large Warcraft Chimeras.
Among them, the Pegasus Knights selected some elves who are good at close combat to ride on the Pegasus, and rushed to the enemy's side at a fast speed to fight with them. They use longbows at long range, throwing spears at medium range, and elf knives at short range. They are proficient attackers in all aspects.
And those Pegasus knights who performed well will be selected to ride on the silver Pegasus, a variant of the Pegasus group, to be promoted to the Silver Pegasus knight. Each of these silver Pegasus possessed some strange racial abilities, and after they got in touch with the elf knights to a degree of spiritual connection, they could even assist the knights to develop several powerful knight combat skills.
It's a pity that both Pegasus and Silver Pegasus are just a heterogeneous species formed after the demonization of horses on land, and they are not good at carrying heavy loads by nature. Therefore, the knights riding them cannot wear too thick metal armor, otherwise their flying speed will be seriously delayed.
Therefore, most of the current elf Pegasus knights and Silver Pegasus knights wear leather armor. However, many elves from the upper class still like exquisite and gorgeous metal armor, but in order to reduce weight, they had to thin the metal armor and made some hollowing out.
Seriously speaking, this kind of air cavalry is indeed extremely powerful when used against human armies, and can almost completely control the dominance of the battlefield. But it's not enough to deal with giant floating ships!
The multi-firing muskets covered by the archer's magical equipment are indeed not powerful enough individually, but they are better than the large number. Once the bullet hell is formed, even if the basic strength of the elf knight is several times that of the archer's magic weapon, it will be difficult to rush to them and start killing.
Moreover, with the thickness of the metal body of the battle magic weapon, it is almost impossible to damage them with ordinary elf swords and spear-throwing arrows. Only those powerful erupting knight combat skills or archer combat skills can really harm the battle magic weapon.
Therefore, it is very difficult for a single archer magic weapon to defeat an elf knight of the same level, and many times it will even be brought down by the opponent with targeted means. However, if ten archers and magic weapons were used against ten elf knights, the winner would definitely be the archers and magic weapons, and it might even be a one-sided massacre.
What's more, there are even more powerful magic cannons on the floating giant ship.
The energy rays with an intensity as high as 100 degrees shoot out intensively, and no elf knight can withstand such a terrible magic blow.
With the magic cannon as the core and the archer's magic weapon as the auxiliary, even if the floating giant ship is surrounded by Pegasus knights, it can tear a crack and rush out with fierce firepower. If those Pegasus knights dared to break through the firepower net and board the giant floating ship, what awaited them would be a defensive magic weapon with a thicker body and three such powerful magic weapon warriors.
The situation with Hippogryph Archer is much the same. Select some guys with superb archery skills from the elf archers, board the hippogryphs carefully bred by the tribe, and hover above the high blue sky to launch ultra-long-distance air strikes on the enemies on the ground.
And the problem they face is the same as that of Pegasus knights, that is, they lack heavy armor protection. When encountering a human army without air cavalry and air control means, it is naturally invincible and victorious in every battle. But if they encountered metal hedgehogs made of steel like giant floating ships, their flaw was enough to kill them.
First of all, they don't fly as high as the giant floating ships.
In this way, they will not be able to use their precise archery skills and ultra-long-range projectile attacks.
Secondly, they cannot get close to the giant floating ship.
With their armor, two or three metal projectiles are enough to incapacitate a good hippogryph shooter. Once something goes wrong with the Hippogryph, the Elven Archer falling into the sky will almost die!
Again, their feathered arrows could not do anything to the thick carapace of the giant floating ship.
According to the measurement of the goblin engineer, the thickness of the outer deck and hull of the giant floating ship has reached half a meter. Use a bow and arrow to attack a half-meter-thick iron plate, and it is also a special alloy prepared by the Goblin Alchemy Laboratory. Only those lunatics and fools would do such a ridiculous thing!
It was precisely because of such a clear understanding of the enemy and ourselves that Greem didn't care about the enemy's air knights.
Of course, the Elven Air Force is not completely "useless wood". Those specially raised large monster Chimeras are not only rough-skinned and thick, but also proficient in three-line magic. If the elves can gather a large number of chimeras to launch a charge, it is still possible to break through the firepower net of the floating giant ship and land successfully.
But at that time, it was also the time for many wizards to come forward!
Every elemental wizard is a terrifying elemental volcano. Once you let go of your hands and feet and unscrupulously pour out witchcraft frenzy on the enemy, just thinking about the horrible scene will make people feel extremely frightened and trembling!
In the final analysis, it is a 'pseudo-air force' that can really pose a threat to the giant floating ships!
Order of Druids…
As a special group in the kingdom of elves, the druid order also possesses a transcendent status and powerful strength within the kingdom.
Even a druid at the most basic level has mastered a superb natural secret technique.
They can cast spells, transform themselves, and summon jungle companions to fight with them. They are simply a combination of elemental wizards, blood wizards and summoners. Although they are not specialized enough in each item, it is extremely difficult to examine the comprehensive combat power.
If the army of the Elven Kingdom is most likely to pose a huge threat to the floating giant, it must be a druid order composed of a large number of druids.
They transform into wind eagles or Socrates eagles, and they can fly into the blue sky to catch up with the giant floating ships. Once they boarded the giant floating ship, they could transform into giants like Earth Bear, Rampage Ape, Razor Boar, and Giant Elephant at the moment of landing.
In this way, even if they confront the defensive magic equipment head-on, they will not suffer too much.
And they also have the ability to cast spells quickly, they can cast binding natural spells, and they can also cast powerful offensive natural spells. This is definitely not good news for combat magic weapons with weaker magic resistance!
So once the giant floating ship goes to war with the elves, the first thing to guard against is these nasty druids.
