Chapter 137 Weird Battle Situation(1/3)
Spiritualism!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Yifei almost subconsciously thought of this word.
In previous game revisions, the initial "strategic skills" of ghost players have also undergone some modifications.
In the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, "Calling Souls" exists as the initial skill of ghost heroes. Its function is to resurrect a certain number of dead units after the war as skeletons to join the team, and the number of resurrections is affected by the total number of corpses.
and total health points.
In previous game versions, the effect of this skill was similar. At most, it was slightly troublesome to use it due to the change of game mode.
As the earliest beneficiary of this skill on the world map, Liu Yifei has the advantage of accumulating a large number of first-level skeletons, so that the number of skeleton mercenaries in Plague City so far is displayed in gray as "abnormal", that is,
Either upgrade the castle to increase the mercenary garrison limit, or send a bunch of them out to die, otherwise you can't continue to hire new skeleton mercenaries.
It may be that using this skill in this way will seriously damage the balance of lord strength between races in the later period, so in the new version of the "Ancient Glory" expansion pack, this skill has been modified into a special "Lord Magic".
Its status is equivalent to strategic magic such as "Magic Arrow" and "Dispelling **", and it is also classified in the strategic magic book. The only difference is that this magic skill can only be mastered by the ghost lord players, and
It is automatically learned once you have the strategy level.
On the strategic map, the effect of this skill has not changed, but on the world map, the effect of "Evocation Magic" has become "instantly consumes all MP, and randomly releases the effect of Evocation on corpses within a certain range, causing them to resurrect as
Skeleton mercenaries are controlled by the caster".
Don't think that after such modifications, the player lords of the ghost clan will become more powerful.
In fact, after the modification, it is difficult for this skill to exert its power in the early and mid-term.
Since it is a magic skill, it must have a cooldown, and the cooldown time of this skill is as long as twenty-four hours. On the world map, it is no longer possible to roll out a large force in one day like Liu Yifei did before.
An army of skeletons will come out, unless several necromancers cooperate.
And the mana consumption of this magic is also terrifyingly high!
Charge each corpse within a certain range with the transformed undead power. In fact, each corpse consumes the player's mp. Generally speaking, a level 80 necromancer like the second-order necromancer actually consumes a lot of mp.
It is impossible to summon too many skeleton mercenaries at one time.
The advantage is that the mental attribute has a great influence on this skill.
Every time the player adds a point of spiritual attribute, the mana consumption of this magic is reduced by one thousandth. At the same time, the scope of the summoning effect is also slightly increased.
If you can have extremely high mental attributes, this skill that seems a bit useless in the early and mid-term will become quite powerful.
(In fact, the game company learned from Liu Yifei’s gaming experience and discovered the bugs in this skill, so it made restrictions)
At the same time, in the new "Lord Knowledge", a new "Souling Enhancement" has been specially added. The effect is to further greatly enhance the effect of Soul Recruiting Magic, greatly reducing the magic consumption.
However, according to the content published by some wizard players on the forum who have "bravely tried to eat crabs", the Lord knowledge of "recruitment enhancement" can actually additionally act on various basic summoning effects of ghost wizards, such as ordinary summons of the undead.
The skills have been strengthened, and at the same time, the effect of adding an additional undead servant has made many undead wizard players crazily applaud.
What Liu Yifei saw at this moment was a large number of corpses standing up unsteadily, and then the skin and flesh on their bodies quickly withered and faded under the influence of the undead magic. Finally, they turned into pictures of brand new skeletons.
"Spiritualism!"
"There's a necromancer!"
...
There are many players in the Tower clan who are very knowledgeable. This immediately caused a chaos in the crowd, and some people on the edge of the team even cast wary glances at Liu Yifei.
There are actually ghost members among the troops in the dungeon?
This is definitely not good news
Could it be that...
Have these two old stalwarts of the Dark Alliance finally begun to cooperate at this time?
Compared to the uneasiness of the tower players, Liu Yifei was also a little nervous.
Xue Lan’s previous “experience” is still vivid in his mind.
Obviously, if a player chooses to stand on the opposite path to the camp in the external plot battle, then the pressure on the player will obviously be much greater!
Just like before, Liu Yifei and the others got money and experience from killing monsters. But Xue Lan directly increased her sin points, and even deducted her dungeon reputation.
If the opponent's move represents the choice of the entire ghost camp, then I'm afraid all Liu Yifei can do is to leave the battlefield immediately...
However, after careful observation, Liu Yifei felt a little more at ease.
Because based on the number of skeletons summoned under the city wall, he could already roughly guess the strength of the attacking necromancer. If the estimate was good, he should probably be a spirit-level opponent. For Liu Yifei at this time,
Not too strong
"Well... they are indeed those guys who like to play with bones. Are they here to join in the fun? Don't you know at all, little guy?"
At some point, the dwarf lord Teklin appeared next to Liu Yifei again, still observing the situation leisurely.
Liu Yifei really couldn't complain about this dwarf's elusive ability.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the elves had never heard of anyone working as a thief or assassin, Liu Yifei would have suspected that the bearded man in front of him was the legendary dwarf thief!
This guy's whereabouts are a bit too strange...
"I really don't know anything about this." Liu Yifei shrugged.
"Well, then you don't have to worry too much. Just do what you should do now. If I guess correctly, this should be the personal behavior of the person opposite, or just the secret meaning of a few people in the ghost clan. You
The battle between the two sides should not have any impact on you."
Liu Yifei didn't expect that the bearded dwarf was trying to solve his problem at this time, but it has to be said that with Tecklin's "conclusive conclusion", Liu Yifei finally felt a little more relaxed...
The two men chatted comfortably on the side, but in fact a new round of defense battle had already begun.
The enemy's vanguard is none other than these thousands of newly summoned skeletons.
Under the guidance of the unknown enemy, these fresh bones warriors clutched the crude weapons in their hands and quickly gathered in the direction of the gate of Gray Cloud Castle, with the obvious purpose of attacking the city gate!
Teklin's large army did not move much, but the large number of players gathered on the city were welcome.
They took the mission and didn't come here just to watch a show.
In fact, after easily defeating the first wave of siege enemies, everyone couldn't help but feel a little depressed despite being happy.
Because the battle ends too quickly, and it is obvious that the role played by Teklin and his men in the entire defensive battle is far beyond what the players can match, the rewards that the players may ultimately receive may be very low, which is obviously not in line with the results that the players expected.
.
At this time, the enemies are swarming again, but the NPCs on our side seem to be motionless. How can the players withstand the excitement of grabbing points?
Not to mention killing one more enemy, in such a large-scale plot battle, even if you just hit the enemy one more time, you can gain one more military merit in the final settlement.
For a moment, the city of Gray Cloud Castle was illuminated by the brilliance of magic!
Water bombs, flames, whirlwinds, earth and rocks came down like huge waves that destroyed the dam, and the skeleton at the front of the team suffered a devastating blow in an instant!
There was almost no struggle before it immediately disintegrated into pieces of bones.
In theory, these bones that have been subjected to spiritualism cannot be used again, so even if these skeletons are completely killed...
"The earth shook!"
A thunderous sound suddenly sounded on the plain!
After that, no one had time to react. Suddenly, they felt that the Gray Cloud Castle, the Brier Mountains, and even the entire earth were shaking violently under their feet!
As the magnitude of the earthquake continued to intensify, everyone on the city began to stand unsteadily. Except for a few experienced or clever players who knew how to immediately fall to the ground to maintain their balance, more people were screaming in shock.
The sound turned into a rolling gourd.
There were a few really unlucky guys who simply fell out of the city wall inside and out because they were standing on the very edge of the city!
And whether it falls outside or smashes into the city, it is obviously impossible to escape the fate of instant kill...
The next moment, the power of magic is further released!
Following the rumbling sound of ground cracks, large and small cracks began to appear on the ground in Gray Cloud Castle, and some higher buildings even tilted due to the violent earthquake.
Fortunately, the construction quality of the Gray Cloud Castle seems to be quite good, so it did not suffer heavy damage in this round of attacks.
"Depend on"
Liu Yifei shook his body and stood up first. At this moment, the vibration amplitude of the ground gradually decreased. It was obvious that the effectiveness of the magic was about to pass, and he could barely maintain his balance.
And even if he has seen more and more exaggerated and powerful magic power, experiencing this "earth shaking and mountain shaking" feeling is by no means refreshing, so he couldn't help but cursed secretly.
Just when he raised his head, Liu Yifei's face turned even more ugly.
The scope of the Earthquake and Mountain Shaking magic seems to be quite large, and this spell obviously does not have the ability to "distinguish between ourselves and the enemy". Therefore, it was not only the defenders in Gray Cloud Castle who were just affected, but also the enemies outside the city.
had an impact.
However, because the enemy was well prepared, the impact was much smaller. This group of bold dungeon monsters even sneaked forward a short distance, shortening the distance from the city wall.
But the worst thing is the enemy's air force!
In the short period of chaos, the enemy's air force had already launched a surprise attack!
The Tower Clan's air force couldn't fight the dungeon side from the front, so a large number of harpies, manticores and black dragons took advantage of the enemy's unsteady foothold to attack the city. When Liu Yifei saw it first, the black dragon's claws even
It's close enough to touch the top of the city.
"Watch the air!"
Liu Yifei roared as a reminder, and immediately began to throw death clouds and dark fog into the sky to intercept the enemy.
In fact, there was no need for Liu Yifei to remind him at this time.
The enemy's actions are by no means secret, and the shadows cast like black clouds show the exaggerated number of enemies!
This time, the enemy obviously carried many more air units than before...
To be continued...
