Chapter 439: Intensified
The battle in the first enemy contact area started like this, and quickly became intensified. Seventeen or eight soldiers at the front holding heavy shields were knocked down in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the previous series of stacked buff states, this number might have directly turned into the number of deaths. Those mutants were When attacking the defense line, most of them used claws and teeth. If there were no magical or magical effects with good defensive effects such as thorn armor and stone skin, those warriors would have been torn apart for at least a few seconds after being knocked to the ground. They were definitely seriously injured, and a few of them were almost dragged out. If the teammates around them were a little slower, they would never be able to save them.
The mages standing at the back were waving their staffs all the time, using instant single-target spells such as [Lightning Strike] and [Ice Spear] to share the pressure of the first two echelons, while using A variety of large-scale destructive magics are thrown far away, and there is no need to even aim or lock, because those dense monsters have already crowded the entire mountain road, and no matter where the spells are thrown, there will be no waste.
Fire, frost, storm, shadow and weird negative energy are constantly washing away those half-dead bodies, but rarely causing fatal damage to them. After being summoned, those who are summoned are just trying to find a good place to explode. The summoned creatures can only cause chaos, and it is difficult to directly kill a large number of mutants. This fact makes all spellcasters in the battle sequence extremely bored, but there is nothing they can do about it.
There is nothing that can be done about it, because compared to ordinary life forms, these monsters, whose average strength is not much stronger, are too difficult to die. As long as their heads are not lost, they will be burned. Even if they are half-cooked, they can blow off limbs or pierce the heart, and they can still violently hurt people. However, spellcasters who are known for their powerful destructive power have difficulty in using magic to accurately knock off those heads. Even if they can, the consumption is much higher than the previous ones. Melee professionals need to be bigger.
Therefore, their mission from the beginning was not to annihilate the enemy, but to use large-scale magic to plow the ground as much as possible, just to make those mutants burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, so that their companions in the first three echelons could quickly harvest their heads. , this kind of job where you can smash a large area without aiming is very pleasant, and it can somewhat dilute the pain of not being able to grab the head.
The drums sounded again, and the shamans and the clergy shouldered the auxiliary work in the war zone. Their most commonly used sputtering thunder spells were not very convenient to cast in this situation, so they used it【 Skills such as Bloodthirsty War Drum, [Inspiring Aura], [Scorching Weapon], and [Fountain Totem] are dedicated to supporting the work, greatly enhancing the overall anti-strike ability of the first battle sequence.
The thieves in the shadows are constantly roaming throughout the first enemy contact area. Some of them are scattered around the perimeter of the defense line, stabbing cold knives and shooting cold arrows. The other part is mixed in between the first two echelons, and they are quickly eliminated in groups of three. A fish that slips through the defense line.
Under Mo Tan's methodical command, more than 600 people in the first battle sequence withstood the initial wave of impact, and nearly 10,000 monsters blocked the middle of the mountain road at the cost of a small number of casualties.< br>
But it’s just blocking.
Although mutants fall every minute, the pressure on the soldiers has not decreased by half. On the contrary, facing countless undead monsters that cannot be killed no matter how hard they are, the fatigue level of the first battle sequence is increasing sharply. Although there won't be any major problems in a short period of time, if this continues...
AM12:37
At the twelfth minute when the first battle sequence of the joint forces encountered the mutant swarm, thirty-nine people were seriously injured and seven were killed. The magic value of the caster began to be unsustainable. The physical strength of the third echelon began to decline like a cliff. A total of 270 enemies were wiped out, and 557 people did not retreat even one step.
AM12:51
The first battle sequence retreated slowly under the order of Commander Hei Fan. A total of 69 people were seriously injured and 27 people were killed. Monitored by the former S3 special observation area The team leader "One Net of Love" and his subordinates blocked the rear of the large army without authorization, blocking the mutants for a total of 11 seconds and then annihilating them all.
AM12:59
The main force retreated to the middle of the first enemy contact area and used the positions prepared in advance to contain the mutant cluster again. During this period, the ogre warrior 'Tataka' was restrained by a large number of mutants. Outside the position, he was killed after struggling to kill more than 30 enemies despite being unable to break through the interception.
PM13:08
The ancient war trees turned back to the battlefield along both sides of the mountain wall to take root again and began to attack the middle of the mutant cluster, which to a certain extent alleviated the pressure of the first battle sequence.
The average magic value of all spellcasters is less than 30%, and the effect of the magic potion begins to decay.
PM13:16
Suddenly a large number of rolling logs and boulders collapsed on both sides of the mountain wall. They killed more than 300 mutants at once and also cut off a small part of the mountain road. The effective combat power dropped below 500. The first battle sequence of the people bought a little breathing time.
The 'First Support Sequence', whose members were mostly civilians, joined the battle and began to smash a large number of destructive heavy objects from the mountain wall in batches, with outstanding results.
PM13:23
The mutants successfully eliminated the obstacles and launched a strong attack on the first battle sequence again. During this period, a small number of monsters attracted to both sides of the mountain wall by the breath of the living failed to climb and were not It posed a threat to the first support sequence, but the latter used supply boxes, rolling stones and light crossbows to annihilate more than a hundred of them.
PM13:29
As of now, a total of 97 people in the first battle sequence have been seriously injured and 45 people have been killed. More than 70% of the casters' magic and mental power have been exhausted. The first, second and third battle echelons are all The troops were on the verge of exhaustion and wiped out more than 900 enemies in total.
PM13:35
Former Hawkeye Team 2 captain, Fandral Ray accidentally escaped from hiding due to his physical strength falling below 20%. He was surrounded and suppressed by dozens of mutants regardless of the consequences. He resisted Died after 2 minutes.
PM13:41
Klaus, the Khajiit shield warrior, was killed in battle. The exact time of death is unknown. When she was noticed to have stopped breathing, she was still pressed against the back of the shield, resisting the waves of mutant attacks.
PM13:58
Hodir Mountain Road, the second enemy contact area of the joint forces
“Let us go!”
One man and one horse The big orc shaman stood in front of Yuying, clenching his fists: "Adjutant, let us go! We have already rested!"
Behind him were nearly a hundred members of the Shaman Independent Regiment. They rushed back to the second enemy area to rest after summoning the thunderstorm before, and until now they have not been allowed to rejoin the battle.
The emotional female assassin shook her head expressionlessly and said calmly: "No, you are far from returning to your prime state now, and you are not allowed to go anywhere until you get the order."
The tall orc shaman gritted his teeth, with a little anger in his tone: "From the south The wind from the side tells me that my companions are falling one by one, but we"
"No matter what the wind tells you, shaman, you must stay here until you get the order."< br>
Yu Ying interrupted him coldly and said in a deep voice: "This is Hei Fan's order."
"But."
"No but, go back and rest immediately. If you have rested well, go and pray for those who have fallen."
Yu Ying waved her hand impatiently.
Then, an elf woman holding two battle axes suddenly stood up and said loudly: "What about us? We don't need to rest! We have been here for a whole day!"
Many warriors raised their weapons and responded loudly.
"I said it."
Yu Ying sighed softly, shook her head and said: "If you don't need to rest, pray. In short, no one is allowed to act without authorization before the order comes."
Tirion Windfury trotted to his wife and gently tugged on her, whispering: "Be patient for a while, wife, Black Van is definitely better at fighting than us."
Crazy. Warrior Putao rolled his eyes and kicked his man on the butt: "You cheater, it's nice to be hacked in front of you, right? Go back and have a rest."
But he was still caught by the wind. Nu Qiang pulled him back.
In addition to the Shaman Independent Group and the second battle order that has been stationed here, all members of the joint spellcasting group originally located behind the enemy area zero are also gathered here. These relatively calm and rational spellcasters did not take the initiative to ask for help, but Seize every moment and meditate desperately, trying to restore your magic power as much as possible.
"Huh?"
Beria suddenly woke up from his meditation, glanced curiously at the elf shot next to him who was looking at him intently, and asked doubtfully: "Gandalf, what are you doing? Why don’t you take the time to meditate?”
The latter grinned: "I am gifted."
Beria patted him on the head angrily: "Then find something to do and don't bother me here." Then the young Gandalf said The magic value returned to 90% and immediately jumped up by 2% under the influence of the talent [Normal M].
At this moment
“Everyone, get ready!”
Yu Ying suddenly pulled out the pair of daggers from her waist and said loudly with relief. : "Handover to the first combat sequence in thirty seconds! Congratulations, the break is over."
"Yes!"
The roars of more than 300 people in the second combat sequence stirred in the wind, firm and loud.
PM14:01
End of the first enemy contact area
"The fifth and seventh echelons stayed, and the others immediately withdrew to the second enemy contact area to rest."
Mo Tan tore open a loudspeaker scroll with one hand, covered his bloody arm and said loudly: "All shamans in the second battle sequence, earth-binding totems receive earthquake spells, cover your front row to complete the handover work , no matter what, strive for at least half a minute; the caster is ready to clear the field, you have fifteen seconds to prepare, and then find the colleagues in the first combat sequence to get the mana potion, many people are still left; the right-wing thieves stay, a quarter of an hour Someone will come to replace you!”
A moment later, the hundreds of mutants rushing at the front were suddenly attacked by dozens of large-scale destructive magic. A small part of them evaporated in an instant, and then were suppressed in place by nearly a hundred totems that rose from the ground. , and finally was violently overturned by the violently shaking earth in a loud noise.
“Thank you for your hard work, guys!”
Tao Tao rushed forward immediately, and knowingly high-fived a strange comrade who was covered in blood and carrying a rusty sword, and happily Said: "Go back quickly and rest, and leave the rest to We are here!"
Raymond glanced at the fighting spirit girl in front of him and nodded with a wry smile: "Stay alive."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of death. Kill one to earn money, kill two to gain blood!”
Putao shouted without looking back, swung his battle ax, and knocked the two mutants flying away.
[This is the real warrior.]
Raymond laughed dryly and limped toward the second enemy area, supported by several companions.
The other side
“What did you do?”
Yu Ying squinted at Mo Tan's bloody arm, hugged her arms and said with a smile: "Bleeding heavily again?"
The latter seemed to want to shrug, but in the middle of the action, he grinned. He stopped and had no choice but to shake his head and said: "It's okay. I'll be back in about ten minutes. I'll be bothering you during this time."
"You'd better rest a little longer."
Yu Ying tugged on the long red scarf at her collar, waved her hand and said: "You don't need to worry about this for the time being."
Mo Tan smiled, nodded gently and said: "Then I'll leave it to you, don't I forgot to keep the message bar open at all times.”
"I know, I know, go back quickly."
PM14:05
In the middle of Hodir Mountain Road, the handover of the first and second combat sequences was completed, and the number of joint forces was reduced to Three hundred and fifty people, but their undead enemies have not changed at all, they are still crazy, violent, and endless.
The replaced first combat order rushed to the rear as quickly as possible for rest and supplies. With the help of a small number of clergy and civilians, they bandaged their wounds and recovered their strength, including those who had just returned from the station. Her Royal Highness the Saint ran over.
“Why are you here?”
Hei Fan turned his face slightly, trying not to look at the girl next to him who was wrapping a hemostatic gauze on his arm. The injury to his left arm was so serious that not even magic could restore it to its original state in an instant, so I had to accept a simple bandage first.
"Don't worry, I used the potion that Luna developed before, and it won't be noticed by those mutants in a short period of time."
Yuchen smiled and shook his head. She shook her head, her face looked strangely pale, her originally red and thin lips were slightly darkened, and the skin exposed outside the saint's robe had no color at all. Her whole person exuded a morbid beauty that was completely opposite to her own temperament.
Mo Tan coughed dryly: "That's not what I meant, I just wanted to ask why you didn't take a good rest at the back. Moreover, the potion is not only a semi-finished product, but its duration on your body is also very short. If you drink too much, , the superimposed side effects are no joke.”
Yu Chen blinked: “Isn’t the duration on me only fifteen minutes?”
"Theoretically it should be thirty minutes."
"Huh? Did you try it for me beforehand?"
"Ahem, just to taste the taste. What's so good about this thing? If you want to try it, just look at the description of the item."
"Uh, I really haven't read it yet."
"If you haven't read it, then you haven't read it. You'd better hurry up and get back."
"Yes, yes, I heard Yuying said that you had a heavy hemorrhage before? Could it be because you have been under too much pressure recently?"
"No!!"
