Chapter 94 Night Attack (please subscribe)
Xu Lai really didn’t expect it. He thought that the quarry and the crystal mine were the same, and that he could just send farmers over to collect stones.
In fact, this is not the case. The farmers sent here only use this quarry, and the actual collection must be based on the small rock mountain next to it.
The real purpose of this quarry is to improve technology and increase quarrying efficiency.
Xu Lai didn't care about anything else. Xu Lai directly spent 500 gold coins to point out the technology that provided the trolley.
For so many days, the biggest problem for farmers in logging is not the efficiency of logging, but the problem of transportation.
The grove is not too far from the village, and at least one-third of the time is spent on transportation every day.
Although the cart can only hold thirty units of stones, it can greatly save the time of running back and forth.
In addition, the quarry can also be used to stack stones, and it can also be used as a warehouse outside the village.
When Xu Lai was visiting the quarry and considering whether to use the quarry technology, several invisible thieves in the distance looked at each other and turned around to leave while the invisibility effect was still there. quarry.
Don't look at Xu Lai flying a kite and killing these Medusas. In fact, he shot an arrow for a few seconds and ran for 5 minutes. The whole battle process took a lot of time.
After all, the speed of the level 3 shooter is not much faster than Medusa, so he has to run very far to get enough distance.
And the shooting distance of more than 150 meters is really far, and the shooter's hit rate is extremely poor.
Therefore, even if Xu Lai had the intention to let these level 3 shooters do last-minute damage, when the final battle was settled, there was still only one level 3 shooter who had advanced.
On the contrary, a level 3 spearman accumulated enough experience and advanced to a level 4 spearman.
Also advanced at the same time was Xu Lai's unique flame shooter.
This guy is also lucky, because his rockets can burn monsters to death every time, so Xu Lai doesn't need to hit the target he shoots again.
In addition, Xu Lai couldn't distinguish other marksmen, so he couldn't focus on cultivating last-hitting skills. Instead, the flame shooter stood out first.
There is no other option to upgrade the flame shooter. Xu Lai can only spend 400 gold coins to upgrade the flame shooter to the explosive shooter.
Like his name, the explosive shooter is an enhanced version of the flame shooter. Its characteristics are basically the same as the flame shooter, that is, the flame arrows become flame explosion arrows, and the single attack becomes a group attack.
[Explosive Shooter]: A level 6 shooter unit. Each person consumes 1 unit of food per day and has 900 mana points.
Characteristic 1: Projection, the flame shooter can shoot into the sky and use the falling damage of the arrow to attack the target.
It can increase the shooting distance to 600 meters, with 50% hit reduction and 80% damage reduction.
Characteristic 2: Flame explosion arrow. The explosive shooter has the ability to attach flame magic to the arrow. After hitting the target, it will cause an additional 60 points of fire damage to the target and all units near the target (not exceeding 1.5 meters), and Has an ignition effect (causing 2-6 points of fire damage per second, lasting until the flame is extinguished).
Note: Each enchantment of the Explosive Shooter requires 5 seconds of casting time and consumes 60 mana points.
The explosive shooter's equipment has not changed significantly, but the flame leather armor, flame long bow and other equipment have all been upgraded to enhanced versions.
Basically, the Explosive Shooter is a more powerful version of the Flame Shooter.
Although the characteristics of the explosive shooter have not changed much, the explosive shooter has evolved from the previous single attack to the current group-wide damage.
When you encounter a large number of dense enemies like cavemen in the future, the damage will be increased by an unknown number of times.
Xu Lai took the explosive shooter as the center of the circle, took two steps, and turned around at a distance of about 1.5 meters.
After looking at the traces left on the grass, Xu Lai was already satisfied that the circle was not big. If it was a little more crowded, it would be no problem to squeeze in a dozen people.
Of course, that would have to be the best situation when people are crowded.
Generally speaking, if it is not a close formation, this distance will only hurt three or four additional people.
Xu Lai's entire battle and advancement process was almost entirely in the eyes of these thieves.
Yin Andy is a horse thief, but he will not refuse the service of other types of bandits. Anyone with some skills can become a leader with him.
Even for a parallel import like Watanabe, the treatment and other benefits are very good. The gold coins recovered from Watanabe are more than the leader of the horse thieves.
The thieves' combat skills and experience are not very good, but they are very capable of sneaking around and sneaking around. In particular, they also master invisibility spells, which Andy Yin specifically uses for investigation.
The two thieves were both real people, so naturally they would not be as rigid as the scouts. When the search team saw the erected guard tower in the distance, they dismounted in time and sneaked over.
For this reason, the sharpshooters on guard tower did not call the police.
In addition, Xu Lai's fence was only about 400 meters long, which was far from enough to surround the entire village, so the two thieves successfully sneaked into the village to conduct investigation.
Thanks to Xu Lai's decision to fight Medusa at that time, otherwise the two thieves still had the ability to open locks. They planned to open all the few houses in the village and take a look.
When the time comes, Xu Lai will definitely keep the Amber Crystal that he placed in his bedroom, and the gunmen hiding in the wooden house will definitely be discovered. However, the battle between Xu Lai and Medusa attracted the two thieves.
In addition to searching for Watanabe, their mission also includes finding suitable plunder targets.
There are only a few wooden houses in the village, and except for a few silent farmers working in the fields, the whole village is as quiet as death.
The two experienced thieves could easily guess that this was a newly established village.
There have been several such villages recently, and they have robbed several of them. The process was not difficult at all, but the harvest was quite fruitful.
The two thieves responsible for the investigation also found out the reason. It turned out that the orcs were invading in large numbers. The frontier of the grassland was unsafe to defend, so the villages in front collectively moved to the interior.
When moving, everyone takes their most valuable things with them. The previous defensive measures, fences, and sentry towers of the village have also been discarded.
So in recent times, their horse thieves have also gained a lot.
Seeing that Xu Lai was about to lead his troops back to the village, the two horse thieves' invisibility skills were running out, so they hurried back.
And in order not to alert the enemy, these two people didn't even bother to search where Watanabe was. Judging from the eliteness of Xu Lai's troops, if Watanabe and the others really came here, they would be dead.
Anyway, there is no shortage of horse thieves. If Watanabe dies, he will die. If Andy Yin hadn't been worried that the nobles would send troops to encircle and suppress them again, he wouldn't even bother to search.
Although Watanabe was not found now, Watanabe and his horses were found in the village, which proved that Watanabe and his companions were not rounded up by the knights.
With this news, the two thieves returned to their lair and reported directly to the horse thief leader Yin Andi.
"6 powerful archers, 1 armored knight, some remaining 2nd and 3rd level infantry and archers, plus 2,30 farmers?
How can you possibly eat me with such strength? A cavalry team?
Reiss is more impulsive, but I know that Watanabe is a coward who is most afraid of death. If he is in danger, he will definitely run away
Listen to what you said. The six shooters should be at level 5 or above. Even if Reese and the others can't win, can they still escape?"
The leader of the thieves shook his head and said: "Commander, the range of those shooters is really very far. , the Medusa in the dungeon is such a terrifying creature, it can’t even draw its bow after swimming half the distance.”
Another thief continued: "Yes, if the leading hero deliberately let Reese and others get closer before shooting.
By the time they realize something is wrong, it is probably impossible to run away."< br>
Yin Andi smiled grimly and said: "Hero, I like heroes the most.
Give me the order to gather all the horse thieves. I will lead the team myself."
The thief swallowed his saliva and said: "Commander, will you go there in person? It is a small village with few buildings, and the oil and water are probably not high."
Another person added: "Don't we keep some people in our old village? That guy named Du wants to annex ours, right?"
Yin Andy snorted coldly and said: "Of course I know, mine The elite thieves will stay in the village and only take the horse thieves with them.
Haha, aren't they heroes? I want to see how qualified these bears are to be called heroes.
You guys should go down too. Get ready, eat early today, and set off before evening. It will be evening when you get there.
After these things are done, go and bring the heroine to me. ”
The two thieves looked at each other and couldn't help but lick their lips, but in the end they didn't dare to say anything more.
Horse thieves often rob caravans and villages. If they encounter a good-looking woman, they will snatch it back directly. Otherwise, there would be so many women and children in the village.
They still have a chance with ordinary women, but they can only think about the one that Yin Andi likes, and they don't even dare to show any hint of coveting her.
Yin Andi can command the entire village not just because of the thing buried in the center of the village.
Yin Andy has suffered losses from heroes before and knows that their troops are stronger than ordinary troops of the same level.
The male hero had killed more than a dozen of his thieves before, and he was still locked up in the dungeon.
According to the report from his subordinates, Xu Lai not only has more people, but also may have a higher rank than the previous male hero.
High-level shooters have always been a headache, and Andy Yin is no exception.
So he decided to attack at night, using the moonlight to get as close as possible to the shooters, so as not to cause the troops to suffer too much losses.
Xu Lai naturally didn't know that Andy Yin planned to attack him at night. After challenging Medusa, he really didn't dare to touch the Minotaur again.
So throughout the afternoon, I could only watch the farmers working boringly.
Later, he found a big tree for himself, and practiced his archery skills one after another. After he had something to do, he felt that time passed very quickly.
Of course, he didn’t even know that the horse thieves’ scouts had already entered his village and had a tour. If he hadn’t fought with Medusa, his hometown might have been touched by the two thieves. Got it.
