Chapter 437 End of appetizers
With a burst of piercing whistling, a total of ninety-four Screamer heavy crossbows collapsed after shooting the only arrow on the string, and nearly a hundred meters away The mutant cluster was shrouded in hundreds of light strips at the same time, howling one after another. Suddenly it became extremely painful. At least five hundred of the monsters at the front fell to the ground without saying a word. Their rotten, tough, and stinky bodies burned strangely, and after a few Within seconds, it quickly turned into some kind of off-white powder and sank into the mud, leaving no trace.
Although the whole body is made of fine steel, and only the arrow is plated with a little silver powder, the [Screamer γ Holy Silver Arrow] is cheap to make. When it first leaves the factory, most crossbow arrows are tough enough and have strong penetrating power. There is nothing new except for the characteristics that they all have, but after several great priests stayed up for two nights to bless them, one-third of them were hollowed out, and each one was hollowed out. The crossbow arrows filled with less than half a kilogram of holy water have collectively been upgraded to excellent quality. In addition to the two inherent qualities of [Penetration] and [Strongness], they also have [Demon Break], [Purification], and [Splash]. ] and the effect of [increased damage to undead creatures by 20%], even if it is not used as a one-time consumable, it is a good enchanted weapon just by holding it in your hand.
With the blessing of a small amount of divine power given by the great priest, it contains holy water that can have miraculous effects on most undead creatures, and with the blessing of [Multiple Shots], it is fired by the extremely powerful one-time heavy crossbow in a self-destructive manner. , only this kind of thing can kill mutants in pieces without hitting them directly on the head.
Ninety-four extremely destructive Holy Silver Crossbow Arrows, coupled with the [Multiple Shot] derivative arrow light that is still penetrating even though its power is greatly attenuated, the Screaming Guerilla Regiment was instantly cut apart. They destroyed or seriously injured more than 700 mutants like wheat, and then they all raised their weapons and swooped down from the platform, spraying arrows like water on the monsters that were still struggling in the mire.
For a time, countless startling chords and whistling sounds resounded throughout the Hodir Pass. Nearly a hundred mid- to low-level rangers jumped up and down in the area about three to fifty meters away from the monsters, choosing the most convenient angle. Shoot arrows one by one at the most unpleasant enemy, dancing like a swarm of ferocious wild bees!
Although the mages around the two resonance towers at the back are still chanting spells, the turbulent land has slowly stabilized, and there is not much time left to continue to expand the results!
The impact arrow with the angry red cold light flowing, the cold current arrow dragging blue light traces in mid-air, the wandering arrow that constantly changes its position, the invisible arrow that only leaves a faint black shadow on the ground , the multi-shot arrows that 'smashed down' like a rain curtain, the spiral arrows surrounded by sharp cyclones, and the explosive shots with several red crystal flakes on the arrow tails
The rangers were in a desperate situation regardless of consumption. differential attack Next, several mutants fell down every second because their heads were pierced by several arrows. At the same time, dozens of elemental creatures also appeared from the air. They had no fixed shape or appearance. Some are even just a whirlwind or a flame, but they use fireballs, ice arrows, wind blades, and flying sand that are not very lethal but have enough advantages to cause a lot of trouble for those monsters. How difficult it is for them to break free from the swamp.
These are small elemental spirits summoned in advance by the Shaman Independent Group in the second phase, with the purpose of jumping out to harass these mutants after they are restrained.
Boom! !
Immediately afterwards, two huge stones suddenly fell from the sky and smashed directly into the monster blocked by the same kind of people behind them, directly smashing dozens of mutants into a mosaic.
On both sides of the three resonance towers, two belatedly arrived ancient war trees finally took root on the Hodir Mountain Road. They fixed themselves on the mountain at the front of the first enemy contact area. At both ends of the wall, under the canopy of the tree, the two old faces covered with wood grains were gloomy and dull, but their movements were not slow at all. The tree on the left continued to mix the gravel and soil with its two intertwined thick arms. Together, they raised their heads above their heads and struck hard at the undead who were also natural enemies in the distance; the one on the right kept 'plucking' fruits covered with spikes from himself, one after another every two seconds. The missiles were thrown at the mutants at the speed of the missiles. Although they only knocked over three or four of them at a time, the advantage was that they were large and fast.
"How much longer can everyone hold on?"
Under the No. 3 Resonance Tower, Beria, who was carrying a big wave, quickly jumped down from the spiral staircase and looked around anxiously. One after another with red faces: "The results of the Screamer's battle seem to be lower than expected. Although the rangers are fighting for their lives at the moment, they still can't reduce the number of those monsters in a short time!"
The thin, mid-level dwarf mage was currently leading the crowd in the seventh chant of [Quirk Technique]. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly, stretched out his short index finger and shook it vigorously, and then shook his head quickly. shrug.
“The last time?!”
Beria, who continued to pay attention to the enemy contact area zero, exclaimed and said blankly: “But.”
< br>"No more buts, Miss Beria."
The elf named Young Gandalf was too shaken He sat down on a pile of empty bottles, spread his hands and said: "Everyone has tried their best to drag it away, but if we don't leave after this joint casting, none of us will be able to survive. Don't worry, here The commander was aware of the situation, and he allowed us to retreat after one last attempt."
Beria bit his lip lightly and nodded as if he was relieved: "Since Master Heifan thinks it's okay, then it should be no problem."
Although he is not a veteran, But during this period of time, Beria has already placed great trust in Lord Black Van, so since he said he is allowed to retreat, it doesn't matter much even if the set mission is not achieved, besides.
Even though the rangers were trying their best to rain arrows, and the two ancient war trees that had just been put in place were bombarding the mutants non-stop, the actual effect was not satisfactory, and the results were as good as The previous rounds are completely incomparable.
The first line of [Explosive Crystal] is said to have wiped out 1,300 enemies.
The thunderstorm just now harvested more than 1,500 mutants in one go.
As for the first wave of the Screaming Guerrilla's offensive, they killed nearly a thousand enemies even though they did not achieve the expected results.
Under this premise, according to the observation of Beria, who originally had very good eyesight and was assisted by the mage's eyes, there are still 9,000 monsters attracted to Hodil Mountain Road by His Highness Chen Wangyu. Although there is definitely an error in this number, it shouldn't be much different.
However, in the next few minutes, although the guerrillas, dozens of elemental spirits and two ancient war trees tried their best to attack, to be precise, they attacked those who were trapped in the mire. , the almost defenseless monster attacked, but only killed less than 300 mutants
Looking at it this way, even if the exhausted joint casting group can barely put in one or two more [ Mire Technique], it is difficult to expand the results too much.
[Sure enough, we can’t expect to kill those monsters by the thousands like before. 】
Beria smiled bitterly and shook his head to cool down his unknowingly inflated mentality.
Although it only took less than half an hour to reduce the total number of nearly 13,000 mutants to 9,000, annihilating nearly one-third with almost zero battle losses. One enemy, but this does not mean that two more thirty minutes will kill all those monsters. In fact, the real war has not even begun!
In the words of Lord Hei Fan, there is only a few rounds of room for such things as mental arithmetic and unintentional bullying of mentally retarded people. No matter how many tricks are used and no matter how well prepared, those who can achieve decisive results without losing any blood will still be able to do so. Just a few rounds.
The [Explosive Crystal] that killed a large number of mutants was prepared by Luna before the joint forces completely entered the southern border. After putting in a lot of effort and resources, she was able to save it until yesterday. It’s only more than two thousand kilograms, and these precious explosives have been consumed not long ago, along with the hard work of the engineering team who worked overtime for several days.
The same is true for the layout that resulted in a large number of mutant casualties in the second round. Not to mention the establishment process of the three resonance towers and the complicated and boring debugging work, just how to arrange the totems perfectly for the Shaman Independent Group Covering the entire Hodir Mountain Pass, how to avoid waste as much as possible while also trying to The previous calculations and attempts to reduce consumption lasted for three and a half days, and the Screaming Guerrilla Regiment's positioning drills and one-time heavy crossbow assembly exercises also consumed a lot of time. The awakening of two ancient war trees The work started quickly on the first day when the large troops arrived in Panshu City.
This was the perfect completion of the previous set of rapid harvesting of heavy rain, thunderstorms and arrow rain, and that scene seemed to be simple and crude, but there were so many details hidden in it.
The first is the Earth-bound Totem Array that needs no further description. Its only function is to contain and slow down. All shamans participating in the 'Three Showers' plan need to drag the mutants at the front and suppress them firmly. In the mountain pass, buy time for the subsequent series of actions.
As for conventional traps, Mo Tan has never thought about it, because no matter how many holes are dug, they will be useless to those mutants who have completely lost their minds and have tens of thousands of them. will be filled in. Immediately afterwards, there was the first rain in this offensive, which was a 'heavy rain' that used the Tower of Resonance to complete group spellcasting. With the joint efforts of hundreds of middle and low-level spellcasters in the joint spellcasting group, it directly changed the celestial phenomena and summoned The torrential rain, which was extremely large but had no direct attack power, drenched the enemy and changed the land to a relatively large extent. Soft and moist, and the moment the goal was achieved, the mages stationed near the No. 2 and No. 3 Resonance Towers were immediately stopped, and they jointly used the lower-level [quagmire technique] in the earth element school to let the area under the feet of the leading group of mutants directly It turned into a quagmire, further restraining the monsters in place and freeing the shamans at the same time.
Next, the shaman who was forcibly disconnected from the earth-bound totem due to the violent fluctuations of the earth element will drain his last bit of magic and physical strength and use all his strength to cast Shaman The most common, most versatile, and most versatile attack method in the system is the power of thunder, which is used to bombard enemies trapped in the quagmire.
As for the reason why they were already at the end of their game but still able to achieve huge results, there are two specific reasons.
First of all, the mutants who were soaked by the heavy rain were all wet at the time, which was very compatible with the thunder spell.
Secondly, and most importantly, while the mages of No. 2 and No. 3 Resonance Towers are repeatedly using [Quand Spell] to restrict mutants, the dozens of No. 1 Resonance Towers are People still maintain the [Heavy Rain Technique]. To be precise, they are maintaining the celestial phenomena derived from the Heavy Rain Technique.
Thus, those mutants covered by dark clouds were naturally destroyed by the 'thunderstorm' whose power was increased many times, and finally were destroyed by the sharp weapons that had been practiced countless times. The Xiao Guerrilla Group skillfully set up, adjusted, and cocked the crossbow, and shot a bunch of them down.
The links are interlocked and watertight, which is gratifying and congratulatory.
But then, it's not that simple.
Everything that can be calculated has been calculated, and everything that should be plotted has been done. It is difficult for the more than 9,000 mutants left to suffer from the sin of being short-minded.
The last round of quagmire spell once again turned the land under the feet of the mutant into mud, but monsters that had stepped on them had already rushed out of the corresponding range.
"Retreat immediately!"
The elf Shota, who looked to be no more than 130 at most, stood up suddenly and shouted to Beria and the surrounding magicians: "This is black Master Fan’s order is to retreat to the first enemy area. Run as fast as you can.”
Before 'Young Gandalf' could finish his words, Beria picked him up and held him under his arm, and ran towards the first enemy area as fast as he could.
"Hey! Put me down, I can walk on my own!"
The elf Shota, who has reached the age of sixteen outside the game, protested loudly.
“Stop talking nonsense, how fast can your short legs run? Shut your mouth and let me take you away!”
Beria, who was carrying a big wave, patted hard. He touched Gandalf's butt and continued running.
The shivering Elf Shota was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head with a flushed face: "Oh"
[You have unlocked the growth talent: Normal M]
"What the hell?" "
At the same time
' Notify all members that the mutants will break free within fifteen seconds. All members of the guerrilla group will immediately begin to evade freely and conduct diversionary attacks. ’
A piece of news suddenly jumped out in front of Robin's eyes.
The girl immediately put away her long bow without thinking, jumped back to the mountain wall beside her, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "The time for driving stakes is over. Boss Hei Fan wants us to start from now on." Start teasing them with all your strength!”
At the same time!
"Are there nine thousand left?"
Mo Tan gently rubbed his forehead, stretched his stiff neck a little, then turned around, facing the six hundred in front of him The figures armed to the teeth spread their hands.
"The appetizers are over, let's go, guys."
