Chapter 89 Dire Bat
Seeing that everyone was already standing in their respective positions, Li Luo clapped his hands and attracted the attention of everyone in the seventh team, and then said a few words:
"Let me tell you a few more words."
"The earth-line creatures we will face later are dire bats, mainly at level 0, and some powerful dire bats will reach level 1."
< br>“We only need to ensure that no level 0 dire bats will cross the wall we are defending and enter the city, then the mission will be completed.”
"If a level 1 ferocious bat appears, don't worry, a high level mage will take action."
"The intensity of the earth-line creature's attack on the city this time is not too high for the city of Bremen. , Mainly because there are too many ferocious bats, and most of the mages in the city are sent out to protect the surrounding villages and towns, so there is a shortage of manpower, so we need to call everyone to participate in the defense. "
"Try to ensure that there are no casualties!"
The Dire Bat, which is only level 1 at most, does not pose much danger to the city of Bremen.
But for ordinary people, earth line creatures are still extremely powerful.
Especially in the towns and villages surrounding the city of Bremen, there are no defensive measures that can effectively stop the dire bats.
Residents from nearby villages and towns can also be transferred to the city of Bremen.
For villages and towns further away, Bremen City officials can only send high-ring mages for protection.
Bulei City is a large city with an extremely large number of villages and towns surrounding it. Therefore, a large part of the official mages in the city were sent out, and then the unofficial mages in the city were summoned to participate in the defense.
“In addition, although dire bats are called bats, they are actually completely different from our common bats.”
"This is a large earth-line creature with a body as big as a horse and a wingspan of more than ten feet. Its whole body is covered with fur. Its common attack methods are to pounce from mid-air, flap its wings and bite with its teeth."
< br>“They don’t have any extraordinary power, so as long as everyone is careful, nothing will happen.”
“But be careful, dire bats carry fatal diseases, don’t be attacked by them If you get scratched, it will definitely be a nightmare for you!”
“Also, we are all mage apprentices with limited mana, and the spells we master are even more limited, so we use spells conservatively and use the city guards as defense! Mainly."
"Our task is mainly to fill the gap and kill the ferocious bats that luckily break through the city guards' defensive line and approach the city wall."
"Don't waste your mana. Try to use every spell on the edge!"
"Do you understand?" Li Luo asked loudly.
“Understood!” Everyone nodded.
In the final analysis, this is just an attack by low-level earth-line creatures that does not pose much of a threat.
This kind of low-level city defense battle is still based on ordinary city guards, supplemented by mages.
It is cost-effective and realistic - a trained archer can at least shoot dozens of arrows in one breath, but how many spells can a mage apprentice cast?
Similarly, 0-level leyline creatures are not immune to cold weapon damage.
So this time, apart from the extremely large number of dire bat attacks, which is a bit of a headache, there is actually nothing else worth noting.
“It’s coming!” After everyone on the city wall waited attentively for another ten minutes, Lillo reminded loudly.
No need for him to remind me at all.
Everyone saw it. At the end of the line of sight, the line where the forest and the sky met seemed to be sprinkled with a little bit of ink.
The ink quickly spread out and turned into clouds of black mist.
Thousands of black mist gushes out from the depths of the forest, accompanied by ear-piercing screams, covering the sky like dark clouds, heading towards the city of Bremen, which is located on the edge of a deep lake. The city pounced.
They were huge bats one after another, too numerous to count.
With the appearance of the dire bat, everyone quickly entered a fighting state.
The swarm of dire bats is getting closer and closer, their high-pitched screams echoing in an eerie way.
The archers have lined up behind the fortifications, nocking arrows and drawing bows.
When the bat swarm finally approached the city wall and entered the range of the bow and arrow, the archers immediately launched an attack.
Arrows poured out like raindrops.
Boohoo!
The sound of the arrow leaving the string and cutting through the air continued to echo.
The ferocious bats, each about the size of a horse, showed no fear at all when faced with the arrows that rained down on them.
They waved their feather-covered wings like two shields, sweeping away the arrows.
But with such a dense rain of arrows, the Dire Bat could never completely stop it.
Therefore, there will always be arrows that accurately penetrate the bodies of these bats. But even so, it didn't have much impact on the bat's movements.
"These beasts don't have much meat on their bodies at all. The damage caused by a single arrow is minimal. It can only add up to a small amount, or hit a vital point." Li Luo was not surprised when he saw this scene.
A hail of arrows poured out one after another.
Accompanied by a shrill wail, a ferocious bat finally couldn't bear the attack and fell from the sky to the city wall.
Like a signal, as the first dire bat fell, one after another followed, falling like rain.
But the death of their companions did not frighten these earth-line creatures, but seemed to inspire their wildness.
They launched a suicidal attack on the city wall even more crazily.
Under such a crazy attack, even though the arrows were raining down, some fish still slipped through the net. Under the cover of their companions, they were lucky enough to break through the rain of arrows and approach the city wall.
This is the time for the mage to take action.
“Take action!” Li Luo shouted.
The seven teams of mage apprentices, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately showed off their magical powers, each aiming at a target and casting their own special spells.
With the fluctuation of magic power, acid, transparent blades, flames, and different spell effects appeared, attacking the dire bat.
The number of these ferocious bats that slipped through the net is not large, and because they still bear injuries from breaking through the siege of arrows - most of them have several or even dozens of arrows on their bodies, and their quality is poor. Not high.
Often just one spell is enough to completely defeat it.
This is where the mage apprentice outshines the massive city guards.
Ten city guards couldn't quickly kill a dire bat in one or two seconds, but the mage apprentice could.
Gaode, who was mixed in the crowd, also immediately activated the spell model.
As the mana surged in his body, a dazzling red light burst out from his hand.
【Flame Arrow+】!
Under the control of his mind, the magic wave turned into a bunch of hot flames and spurted out, turning into a deadly flame arrow, heading straight towards a ferocious bat with more than a dozen arrows pierced through its body. And go.
The flaming arrow drew a perfect arc in the air and hit the bat accurately.
Boom!
The explosive fire swallowed it up instantly.
The already wounded Dire Bat let out a sharp cry, fell from the air, and turned into a corpse.
It’s that simple!
In the suicidal siege of the dire bats, they hardly made any evasive movements, they just relied on their numbers to rush forward.
Gold coin +1.
The origin of the dire bat +1/7!
In Gaode's eyes, what fell was not a bat, but money and experience!
There are only seven or eight ferocious bats approaching the seventh team responsible for defending the city wall section.
Not to mention taking action, some people in Team 7 had already wiped out this batch of ferocious bats before they even reacted.
Gaode can grab a "monster", which means he has quick reaction.
“We can only wait for the next batch.” Gaode suddenly thought that there were no monsters to fight. At the same time, he concentrated on getting ready to “rob monsters”.
He now has enough mana to cast seven tricks in one go.
If you can guarantee that you can kill a dire bat every time you cast a spell, you can just get the origin of the dire bat.
However, there is no fault tolerance.
So Gothe must focus on choosing those with more serious injuries among the ferocious bats approaching the city wall to ensure a 100% kill rate.
There is still competition.
After all, for others, although killing the dire bat cannot obtain the source like him, the additional reward of 1 gold coin is also real.
They must also want to use the limited amount of magic to kill as many dire bats as possible.
It's better than a quick eye and a quick hand.
Fortunately, [Flame Arrow], as an energy-shaping magic, has outstanding destructive power and the most outstanding casting range among the magic.
The casting distance of 120 feet is enough to stand out among the magic tricks.
