Chapter 98 Seeking Cooperation(1/3)
In the original settings of the system, players' reinforcements for this ring trial mission will actually only come from two directions, and the number of each batch of reinforcements will be fixed at twenty-five big goblins, twenty gargoyles, and ten
Five iron men, ten mages and five lanterns.
The arrival time of reinforcements from route A is fifteen minutes, and route B is twenty minutes.
After that, for every ten more minutes, reinforcements will join the defenders.
Of course, in addition to this, the system even includes side missions on Route C, but in fact, this is just a "setting". No one, including programmers, expected that any player could actually clear Route C.
.
Because in the original setting, the difficulty of the battle would not reach such a perverted level as what Liu Yifei is experiencing now.
As I explained before, in fact, the reason why Liu Yifei's current battle is so difficult is entirely because of his "quadruple jump", which forcibly increased the enemy's strength~
According to the original estimates of the system, even if someone received high-level evaluations in the first two rounds of trials, fighting to death would only increase the difficulty of the battle by two levels!
In addition to the troops accumulated by the players in the first two rings and two lines of reinforcements, it is not difficult to complete this trial~
The reinforcement side mission on Route C is not so much a reward, but more of a "trap" that tests the player commander's ability to make on-the-spot decisions.
If you make a mistake in judgment and attack here without authorization, the player will suffer heavy losses that are difficult to avoid, further increasing the difficulty of subsequent battles.
And if the players cannot be brave enough to cut off their wrists, be decisive on the spot, but are unwilling to retreat after facing losses, and still persist in fighting, then perhaps what they will face is destruction~
As a result, before the first batch of reinforcements arrive, the player must face the enemy's three-way siege force alone, and failure is almost certain.
Of course, if it weren't for Liu Yifei's "quadruple jump" that scared people to death, the barbarian camp would not have spawned a terrifying general like "Rosentaire" whose strength exceeded the system's estimate.
Just a Cyclops.
However, Liu Yifei's abnormal performance not only led to the appearance of a highly intelligent general in the barbarian camp, but also allowed the originally ordinary Cyclops to evolve to an advanced stage, which made the difficulty of the battle beyond the controllable range.
The game mastermind is obviously a "flexible" being. Since the "test" is so difficult, no matter whether the player can pass the test or not, a "reward" must be set for him that is sufficient to compensate the player.
Therefore, after Liu Yifei actually completed the side mission on Route C, in addition to receiving the expected reinforcement reward, he also received two small catapults named "Frost and Snow Catapults".
This thing... is a cross-generation "magic siege equipment" that has never appeared in the game so far!
The basis of the small catapult determines that its basic ammunition projection distance is only one hundred meters. However, after being "frost and snow enchanted", all the stones thrown by the catapult will have a "frost and snow enchantment effect" added to it.
After all the catapults hit the ground, they will explode a frost and snow shock wave with a radius of five meters. Not only does the catapult, which was originally impractical in city defense battles, have a rare magic killing effect, but it is also in addition to the basic physical attack.
Magic additional attack!
More importantly, this frost and snow enchantment can also slow down all attacked units by 25%!
To the city defenders, this was as powerful as an artifact!
Originally, catapults were limited by low attack frequency and narrow strike surface. Their main role in city defense warfare was to launch counterattacks against the enemy's catapult formations and restrict the enemy from using catapults to destroy city walls.
But this kind of enchanted frost and snow catapult has become a nightmare for the siege troops on the ground!
At a range of 100 meters, the blast of frost and snow shock waves is enough to become a nightmare for all ground troops!
Even if a shock wave cannot kill the opponent, an instant deceleration of 25% will make the ground troops fall into hell!
Theoretically, as long as there are enough enchanted catapults, it is impossible for ground troops to touch the city wall!
The repeated attacks of frost and snow will inevitably cause the ground troops to abandon their armor and even run away with their heads covered!
If there are any shortcomings of this catapult...
Perhaps it is the "small" size that limits the stone-throwing distance, and the attack frequency is slightly slower. If the "large" catapult can have a basic stone-throwing distance of 300 meters, Liu Yifei can shoot the dungeon troops.
The ground troops cry out!
What made Liu Yifei even more ecstatic was that in the second batch of reinforcements, the reinforcements from Route C brought over two more small frost and snow catapults!
At this time, it is not even half an hour into the trial mission of this ring!
If Liu Yifei can finally persist in the entire defense mission for an hour, it means that he can obtain a total of ten such catapults, and he can retain five of them after the battle!
When Liu Yifei thought about the benefits that all these things would bring to him in the subsequent official battle, Liu Yifei was even so excited that he couldn't help but tremble!
In the subsequent formal battle missions, Liu Yifei can desperately take on various defense missions. As long as he swings these catapults, he can just wait to reap military glory!
In such a large-scale battle where large corps collide, this kind of catapult with a killing effect is simply a natural machine for gaining military merit!
And according to the system's judgment, all enemy units that have been slowed down, even if they are not killed by Liu Yifei in the end, he will still get 20% of the military merit!
This is tantamount to stealing military merit from other players!
Is there anything more exciting than this?
Almost at the moment when he figured out the key to the matter, Liu Yifei made up his mind to guard this part of the task for an hour no matter what!
At this time, the mission time was just half an hour old, and the third round of siege battle was just about to begin~
If you continue to defend, the enemy will have a total of twelve waves of siege troops in three rounds!
But in the last wave of enemy troops, Liu Yifei calculated that there were already thirty-five level five Minotaurs!
The system cannot increase the number of Minotaur troops endlessly, and considering that the strength of the siege troops is constantly increasing, Liu Yifei feels more and more that the enemy may release sixth-level Manticore troops.
The advantages of high-level creatures over middle- and low-level creatures are huge!
Not to mention anything else, the advantages in blood volume and basic attributes are completely unmatched by mid-level creatures.
High-level creatures have higher soul authority, which allows them to master more skills. If a sixth-level manticore is faced head-on, it is not a problem to kill five fifth-level lantern monsters~
Not to mention the huge chaos that a highly sensitive flying creature like the Manticore would bring to the entire city defense force during a siege battle~
The moment he made the plan to defend the city, Liu Yifei knew that he could not defend passively all the time! The only way to win this game steadily was to take the initiative!
Before the enemy's troops are pushed out, destroy one or two enemy strongholds to suppress the enemy's attack!
After receiving two complete rounds of reinforcements, Liu Yifei's military strength also expanded rapidly! At this time, there were 232 first-level goblins, 165 second-level gargoyles, and 100 third-level iron men.
Twenty-eight, one hundred fourth-level mages, and forty fifth-level lantern monsters.
In addition to the lack of high-level creatures, the troops Liu Yifei has at hand already fully meet the range of daily troops that can be controlled by the city lord of a small system city on the world map.
Compared with the 400 or so siege troops on each side of the siege, Liu Yifei's defenders were simply a behemoth!
The reason why he still wants to take the initiative is just Liu Yifei’s nature to take precautions before they happen~
Liu Yifei's character has always liked to keep his trump cards hidden from others. Another thing he also likes to do is to nip all foreseeable threats in the bud.
At present, our own force advantage is obvious. How long will it take if we don't take the opportunity to split up our forces and attack the opponent's rear?
Of course, before setting off, Liu Yifei wanted to try another thing. If this attempt succeeds, it will be an unexpected and powerful help for Liu Yifei...
Crisis...crisis...
While it represents "danger", it actually also means "opportunity".
For example, meeting Rosenthal was a big crisis for Liu Yifei.
If he cannot be defeated, reinforcements from route C will naturally be out of the question. In fact, for other players, since the battle is not difficult, it does not matter if the reinforcements from route C are missing. However, for Liu Yifei, the reinforcements from route C are not
is required!
Once it is missing, for example, it is only the third round of offensive and defensive battles now, the enemy's single-line strength has exceeded 400, and the loss of two batches of reinforcements along the way will be an unimaginable huge loss!
Once the danger is eliminated, opportunities will indeed come!
However, with the attitude of "everything is possible", Liu Yifei still wants to dig into this crippled barbarian hero. Maybe he can really dig out the "second pot of gold"~
After arranging for Diwei to stay temporarily in charge of the defensive battle at the level, Liu Yifei rode the bone dragon and headed towards the barbarian camp behind.
The sudden visit of the seventh-order bone dragon obviously caused a lot of confusion in the barbarian camp.
The bone dragon here has just begun to slow down, and the barbarian camp below has become a mess.
The wolf cavalry troops quickly rushed out of the camp and began to make a circular motion around the stronghold. The Orcs and Cyclops were all on full alert, as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Even before the Bone Dragon could make any attack, the food in the camp
The human-demon shaman has begun to actively apply bloodthirsty spells and hot-blooded buffs to all important combat units, crazily increasing the attack power and attack speed of his own units.
"Damn it!!! It's not over yet!!! What kind of bastard came to Rosenthal to cause trouble again? Do you really think I'm easy to bully!"
Not long after, Rosenthal's expected loud voice rang out in the barbarian camp!
This guy has a really explosive temper...
"Hey~ Great Rosenthal, I have a good deal, and I want to come to you to do it together! How about it? Do you want to talk to me, a despicable and cunning wizard? I think this will be a good deal that you will be very envious of.
Buy and sell!”
Liu Yifei added a phantom sound spell to himself and shouted loudly towards the camp below.
"Oh~ damn! Why are you this despicable little bastard again? Didn't we make an agreement not to interfere with each other? Why are you bothering me again? Do you really think I'm easy to bully? I swear! If you dare
If you play tricks on me again, the great Rosenthal will challenge you even if he risks his life!"
Rosenthal below jumped to his feet and cursed.
"Okay~ don't lose your temper over there. Just stay here. I'll come down and have a good talk with you. To be honest, it's a big deal!"
This time, Liu Yifei ignored him and landed directly not far from the barbarian camp.
Before the bone dragon landed, Rosenthal appeared directly below Liu Yifei in a flash, then looked at the slowly descending bone dragon with a joking expression, and finally continued to shout at the top of his lungs when Liu Yifei was about to land:
"What? You worried little bastard? Do you dare to land on my soil this time? Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to take your life?
To be continued...
