Chapter 689(1/3)
In the golden autumn evening, the setting sun is like blood.
The red clouds spreading across the sky are like wolf hairs filled with cinnabar, and they outline the misery of clouds and clouds on the otherwise clear and blue void curtain.
This is a beautiful scenery that is rarely seen in the lonely land of the ghost tribe.
In the sky that is forever covered by the dark sky, such a scene that makes people feel endless melancholy is the dust that only exists in illusions. However, in the Sighing Mountains, ghost players finally have a place where they can enjoy all kinds of beautiful scenery.
location, but because of this, the plague city is destined to continue to flow~
However, at this moment, the entire Plague City is as "quiet" as if dead... Facing the surging army like locusts covering the sky, no one can maintain the calmness and calmness of the past...
Even those masters in Plague City who are worshiped as gods by outsiders are not possible.
Unexpectedly, in the evening of this day, Plague City would actually welcome such a group of "visitors", and these visitors were obviously not very welcome, so what Plague City offered them was not flowers and applause, but...
The arrows of the crossbow are also flying like springs.
This unknown army, obviously from the Swamp Clan, launched a decisive attack as soon as they arrived outside the Plague City. However, the main force of the battle was a group of giant flies and a small number of bison driven by lizard man hunters, totaling about three thousand. And they
The main attack direction is the south gate of Plague City.
For such a cannon fodder unit, the Plague City garrison led by Xue Lan did not give them the slightest chance. Whether it was the fifth-level bison whose physical strength was not inferior to the sixth-level flying dragon or the extremely fast third-level giant fly, they all
They were all nailed to death thirty meters outside the city gate by the intensively fired crossbow arrows...
The thick crossbow arrows with trembling tails made a sharp buzzing sound, gutting each giant fly, or else nailing it firmly into the pile of bones outside the city. For these cannon fodder creatures, even just
The lethality of small bed crossbows and motorized crossbows is not something they can withstand.
The bison can actually push it a little bit. After all, it is strong and has a thick constitution.
But their clumsy and slow moving speed makes them natural targets on the battlefield, and their death is even more tragic than that of giant flies. Every one of them was stabbed to death by a motorized ballista, with screams and blood in just half a minute.
The contamination has penetrated every inch of land outside the south gate of the Plague City...
It seemed like a meaningless suicide charge. However, after that, these NPC troops from the swamp tribe left a group of backbone main force to hold down the front line and did not dare to attack randomly to ensure the plague city.
At the same time, a group of bison were asked to cooperate with the wolf-headed man to cut down trees in the nearby mountain forest.
It took more than ten minutes for the players on the Plague City side to realize...these guys actually brought craftsmen with them! This was to make siege machinery such as catapults on the battlefield!
"Damn~ I was just wondering how Michael and the others were able to inexplicably conjure up several catapults when they attacked Jinghu City. Looking at it this way...could it be possible that they also have senior craftsmen who can make catapults on the battlefield?
"
After noticing the other party's movements, Lu Ying Wuhen cursed secretly, and actually figured out something that had been bothering him a few months ago.
Xue Lan, who had experienced the Battle of Jinghu City together, didn't care about this at all. Compared to this, she only cared about what kind of catapult machinery the other party's craftsmen could make.
The level of the catapult itself determines the farthest distance it can penetrate the attack, and the size determines the size of the catapult they can throw, which can also be said to determine the basic killing power of the catapult.
If the opponent can build a medium-sized trebuchet of level five or above, then the problem this time will be quite difficult.
Coupled with the opponent's strong military strength and sufficient mid- to high-grade troops, it is very likely to cause devastating damage to the entire city defense of Plague City!
If it weren't for the lack of an absolute number of vampires on hand, Xuelan would really like to get rid of all those unsightly craftsmen!
"How's it going? Are you sure you can lead the assassin group out for a sneak attack?"
After thinking for a while, Xue Lan frowned and asked the young assassin beside him... Because the territory was in a hurry, Xue Lan had to temporarily recruit the young assassin who was still in charge of the work in the fire elemental plane. And he
The method of returning to the city was extremely decisive...it was suicide!
This is the "shameless return to the city method" that Liu Yifei and Xue Lan figured out a long time ago, which is to use the system's setting loopholes in this aspect to squeeze out more transmission quotas for the cross-border gate.
After hearing Xue Lan's question, the little assassin gritted his teeth and looked at it again and again, still reluctantly shaking his head and saying:
"No. They brought too many wolf-headed men.
Ghost units have a bonus to the stealth effect, but this bonus mainly refers to the improvement in physical transparency, and also improves the concealment of the soul.
But the wolf-headed men mainly rely on their sense of smell to break through stealth. The slightest smell of something wrong can arouse their alertness. There are many high-level wolf-headed men in the opponent's team. They are obviously wary of our sneak attacks."
Since the little assassin said so, Xue Lan was basically certain that a sneak attack on the enemy's logistics troops was unreliable.
However, if you want to defeat it head-on...
Xue Lan roughly counted. They may face a seventh-level nine-headed monster regiment [500], a strange army that looks like a "five-headed basilisk cavalry" [3000], and flying dragons of varying levels.
There are three columns of cavalry, but among them
There are at least one-third of the high-quality flying dragon units, and then there are tens of thousands of giant flies. The most popular ones include bison, mad bull, bull, monitor lizard, war monitor lizard, lizardman archer, and wolf-headed unit.
Human ground forces...
Although it was difficult to estimate their number due to the large scale of the enemy, Xuelan conservatively estimated that the number of swamp tribe units that came to invade this time exceeded at least 50,000, or the standard of two legions [30,000].
Definitely, in short, it is indeed a situation that Plague City has never expected before.
Based on the current strength reserves in the city, trying to charge head-on into such a military formation is simply courting death. However, it does not seem to be in the interests of the Plague City to sit back and watch the opponent build a large number of catapults...
After just a slight hesitation, Yu Huangquan said solemnly:
"Let the assassin group enter the stealth state. Be careful to lurk to the west of the territory, and don't act rashly for the time being... Pass the order. Let the wizard players prepare and listen to my order to release all undead, vampire-type servants and summons."
A large-scale mobilization of troops immediately appeared in the Plague City, especially the north gate quietly opened. It seemed that no one was entering or exiting, but in fact, a secret force had quietly lurked to the side of the battlefield, waiting for the order from the commander of the Chinese army to use thunder.
One blow~
If there are troops deploying quietly, there will naturally be troops showing off their strength with great fanfare.
Before the air force of the Swamp Clan could pass back the reconnaissance information, countless bone streams suddenly appeared in the land of bones, as if countless small bone fountains appeared on the ground.
In just the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of bones gathered together turned into tens of thousands of ghosts and ghosts - all flying units such as undead, vampires, and flying dragons!
Barely giving the swamp party any time to react, these evil spirits soared into the sky as soon as they appeared, like a ghost cloud suddenly rising into the sky, but they sent out ear-piercing screams and pounced on the regular swamp tribe troops gathered outside the south gate ahead.
go!
This is the advantage when countless ghost wizard players gather together!
The system itself gives players career settings that are different from basic mercenaries. The biggest difference is that the number of legal professions has increased dramatically!
Because mercenaries themselves have low intelligence and low soul authority, they either lack legal units, or they have "archer-like" long-range output units like corpse witches.
However, the real value of "spellcasters" lies in the endless means and various ways to deal with various situations. What the emergence of players really fills is the huge gap at this level.
When countless evil spirits suddenly rushed out of the Plague City, the swamp army on the opposite side finally realized that something was wrong.
However, this is an elite force after all. In addition to their powerful strength, the discipline of the army is astonishing. Seeing a wave of sneak attacks approaching, they did not show any signs of chaos.
The evil spirits here had just taken off, and the swamp tribe troops on the opposite side responded quickly. The buffalo herd collectively moved forward to block the army of lizard man shooters behind them to protect them, and the giant flies that moved as fast as the wind also took off for the first time to defend themselves.
, leaving those stronger flying dragons behind to adjust their formation and take off one after another.
And at the same time that the mercenary army was undergoing major changes, I don't know who was casting spells in the swamp army here, but there was a huge cyan halo shining in the sky. Every time it flickered, it could summon giant flies above the swarm.
There are dozens of sixth-level flying dragons, and they are also powerful flying dragons at the mid-to-high level. The power of this summoning spell is really jaw-dropping.
Although the movement of the Marsh Tribe troops was somewhat unexpected, the situation at this moment was like an arrow that had to be fired.
Xue Lan looked from the high wall of the city tower, but saw that the southern sky was obscured by densely packed enemy air units. He didn't know what size of air force this was, but it still let countless summoned evil spirits pounce on it.
At that moment, more than 10,000 evil spirits of the third and fourth levels of strength charged, but they were rushing towards the opposite army formation like a cloud of evil spirits.
However, the swamp side was also ready to attack. Countless yellow-green giant flies rushed forward immediately, as if a yellow-green barrier had been erected in the sky here to completely wipe out the dark clouds coming from the north.
block.
Even if they have witnessed the larger-scale collision between the ghost and elf NPC armies in the ghost war, everyone can't help but feel excited about this desperate situation on the battlefield with a strong atmosphere of destruction.
At this moment, the setting sun is like blood, and the earth is chilled. It seems that even the wind blowing from the sky is stained with a bloody sweetness, making every player standing here and watching here go crazy and tremble!
What kind of game is this?
It was clearly a real war that broke out in another world!
The undead and vampires screamed and rushed into the giant flies, but apart from "eroding" the first batch of opponents, they were unable to move this even more astonishing enemy group at all~
The flying stumps and roars, screams, whines, and blood-red mixture were like a huge meat grinder hanging high in the sky, swallowing up all the beings who dared to enter this airspace, leaving no trace behind!
"put!!!"
A low shout suddenly came from the enemy troops on the opposite side, but thousands of lizard-men poisonous archers came out in formation, stretched out their bows and set arrows at the edge of the ground troops. They raised their hands and fired a shower of arrows into the sky!
I don’t know if these more than a thousand lizard man poison archers are really strong, or they have been blessed with some powerful spells, or their equipment has the miraculous effect of additional range. But they actually shot hundreds of meters into the air.
The firepower flew almost in a straight line directly to the rear position of the summoned army from Plague City!
The distance of hundreds of meters and the flying arrows did not consume the impact of those Li Xian arrows. On the contrary, they seemed to strengthen their penetrating power. The first time they pounced into the undead group, they took away the
The hit rate of a vampire locked with a hundred times concentrated fire is simply astonishingly high!
Because these troops are recruited by a large number of wizard players themselves, it is even more impossible to hand over the summoned troops to the upper management for command. The players can only do it one by one. This makes it really inconvenient for the commander-in-chief to control a large number of troops.
Important first-hand information.
However, the effect of this wave of arrow rain was still too strong. The other party focused on the vampire shooting from behind. Nearly two hundred vampire summons suddenly fell. Even an idiot could see this sudden drastic change. More information
It couldn't help but arouse the astonishment of Xuelan and the others - what a powerful long-range unit! What a perverted super long range!
Generally speaking, the starting shooting range of bow and arrow players is about fifteen to twenty meters, and it will fluctuate slightly depending on the characteristics of their race and professional characteristics.
Then as the player's strength, bow proficiency and equipment level improve, gradually increasing to about 30 meters can ensure an effective hit rate of 70% to 80% [this refers to those who play the archer profession seriously and have adapted to it for a long time.
