Chapter 108 Leading a large-scale battle
Xu Lai is holding a level 5 bow. The standard shooting distance is 200 meters, which means that the damage will not be reduced within 200 meters. After 200 meters, it can only cause half the damage, that is, Commonly known as half arrow.
What he uses is wool pulled from the quivers of high-level archers. Anyway, no matter how many arrows those archers consume, they can replenish them all as long as they rest for 7 hours.
This wool will turn white if Xu Lai does not pluck it.
Xu Lai had a bad idea before and wanted to sell a batch of arrows in the town. However, the craftsmen in the town recognized them at a glance and they refused to accept them at all.
It's not that they can't use it, but that these arrows will disappear as long as they are away from the original owner for a period of time. This is a law that no one can change.
This is why the wild monsters and horse thieves that Xu Lai killed never peeled off their trophies. If they peeled off, they would all be in vain. After the battle is settled, they will all turn into light and disappear.
The only kind of equipment worn by real people can be safely removed when you die.
Xu Lai was able to ignore this rule to a certain extent by using his space backpack.
But once it is taken out of the backpack, it will still disappear if it is not used in time. The longest arrow lasted did not exceed 24 hours.
Xu Lai took advantage of this small loophole and caused an unknown amount of extra damage before. Now he has further upgraded and used the fifth-level enhanced arrows of the archer masters. Each arrow has 15-20 points of damage.
These arrows do not have the armor-piercing effect, otherwise the armor-piercing arrows that Yin Andi regards as treasures would really be worthless when Xu comes here.
Getting back to the subject, Xu Lai, who has 15 points of strength, uses a recurve bow and strengthened eagle feather long arrows. The basic damage of each arrow is as high as 72-93. Intermediate archery and the Assault Necklace can also increase it by 25%. The damage caused by an arrow hit will almost certainly exceed 100.
It is worth mentioning that Giselle’s captain skills cannot be applied to Xu Lai, because she cannot command Xu Lai anyway.
However, Xu Lai's own level 4 long-range weapon skill bonus will not be affected in any way. The charged arrows and attack arrows released by consuming physical strength will be enhanced by intermediate archery skills.
The harpy's main attribute is agility and has feather protection, but after all, it has no armor, so its defense is also very weak.
The level 2 harpy is bound to die if Xu Lai hits it. The level 3 harpy can struggle for a while. As long as she is not unlucky enough to trigger the attack limit, she can just breathe.
Of course, if his luck is really bad, Xu Lai can only pray for them and mourn for them, and feel sorry for the trainee shooters who are missing a last-minute chance.
The addition of Xu Lai brought the number of output shooters to 14. The harpy at close range had just been killed, and the harpy at mid-range was almost close.
Except for those high-level shooters, everyone was busy.
Xu Lai was worried at first about how long the ordinary small quivers of the trainee archers could last, but now he was worried about their physical strength not being able to support them.
Stretching a strong bow requires a lot of energy. The bow in Xu Lai's hand is strong enough and consumes enough energy.
Twenty arrows later, Xu Lai finally eliminated the fourth wave of harpies. However, under Yu Lan’s instructions, the high-level archers lured away all the remaining groups of harpies nearby. come over.
Xu Lai watched helplessly as the number of harpies increased little by little. There were more and more harpies and harpies. These things could cast long-range attacks when they got close.
So Xu Lai must deal with them first before they get close.
This not only requires him to draw the bow for a longer time, but is also a great test of his eyesight. Fortunately, he has intermediate eagle eye skills.
But Master Hunter has a long attack range. He can throw arrows more than 600 meters away even if he doesn't move. He can't seduce too many harpies.
The only thing that can comfort Xu Lai is that the wealth piled up behind the harpies is increasing.
Xu Lai also witnessed with his own eyes the transformation from nothing to a small pile of gold coins, then to a large pile of gold coins, and now, not to mention the hills, there are also many gems that shine brightly in the sun as embellishments.
At the end, Xu Lai could no longer remember how many times he had pulled the bow. Anyway, the trainee archers had stopped long ago. They had not rested for 7 hours, which meant that their physical strength was not enough.
Anyway, when the final battle was settled, Xu Lai was really shocked, because they destroyed more than 500 harpies in less than an hour.
In the end, Yu Lan personally took the master hunter away from the team and attracted several groups of medium and large harpies from a distance.
In the words of the scouts, the number of each group there is "many".
In addition to more than 500 harpies, there are also about 200 harpy witches and 30 harpy queens.
If it was to complete the prophet's mission, then Xu Lai had already done it, but after he collected 33 tail feathers of the Harpy Queen, he was unwilling to use those of the Harpy Witch to complete the task.
Although Xu Lai kept shooting, his brain and eyes never stopped observing and thinking.
He had long noticed that the number of harpy queens was extremely rare. Even if Yu Lan later attracted a medium-sized group of 3 or 40 harpies, there had never been a harpy queen among them.
Only after merging into the group of harpies that Xu Lai was fighting, a rare number of harpy queens evolved according to a certain proportion.
So, Xu Lai wanted to use the Harpy Queen to complete the task, unless he was looking for a "large group" or even a "large number", a "large number" or even "countless" groups of banshees.
This kind of banshee group should be difficult to find unless he makes it himself. After the battle was settled, all four trainee archers advanced. Only two of the fourth-level long archers advanced, and Xu Lai all advanced to become a flame archer.
He now wants two shooter teams to advance together, but he is a little surprised that only so many shooters have advanced. He originally thought there would be more.
It can be seen that if there were not so many "independent warriors", "captains" and "generals" who provided a lot of extra experience in last night's battle, there would only be 400 level 2-3 horse thieves and thieves who would not have advanced so much. High-level warriors come out.
As of now, this world is obviously about balance. The experience value is basically linked to the level and one's own strength.
No matter how superb the combat experience and skills of ordinary monsters are, compared with intelligent creatures, the gap is still too big. Naturally, the experience given by both sides is completely unequal.
This time, the physical strength bar of the low-level shooters was basically all red. Xu Lai couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he ordered the shooters to rest where they were and took out the food for Giselle to distribute.
Rest is the best way to quickly restore physical strength, and so is eating.
Of course, if they are not allowed to rest for enough time, their physical strength bar will not be fully charged, but being able to turn green is enough to support subsequent battles.
This break will take at least an hour. Xu Lai will naturally not leave the gold coins on the ground without picking them up.
It cost 1,000 gold coins to advance to several shooters, but Xu Lai picked up more than 500 gold coins just by picking up the ones that exploded on the ground. Plus the pile of hills behind, Xu Lai made a lot of money.
"You discovered a huge pile of wild resources and received gold coins*2000 and gems*5."
Not only that, Yu Lan also told Xu Lai that the two largest harpies she had attracted, Each guarded a treasure box. Although it was just two wooden treasure boxes, Xu Lai also got 1,000 gold coins.
After picking up the resources, Xu Lai led his troops non-stop towards the outdoor shooter tower. Although he encountered some harpies in the process, Xu Lai just avoided them.
After the level 2 trainee archer upgraded, the quiver was replaced and the ammunition was replenished a little, but the two quivers together should only have more than 30 arrows.
The long archers are even worse. Those who have not upgraded cannot receive supplements. Xu Lai, who has upgraded, no longer allows them to take action.
With their current amount of ammunition, it is of course possible to maintain a few small and medium-sized battles of intensity, but such gains are too little, and Xu Lai no longer likes them.
So he was careful to avoid them all the way, and it took him more than two hours to get to the wild shooter tower that Su Ya mentioned before.
Here, Xu Lai spent 750 gold coins and successfully recruited the five shooters in June.
It was probably past 4 o'clock in the afternoon at this time. Even if it got dark late in June, they could barely get back before it got completely dark.
After rushing back for more than an hour, Xu Lai launched another attack.
His aggressive fighting aroused collective dissatisfaction between Giselle and Yu Lan, but Xu Lai was the boss. After he formally issued an order, no one could disobey it.
The two of them were not tired. As a hero, Xu Lai had to fight, so how could they complain about being tired.
It was just because it was getting dark that they worried about encountering unpredictable dangers while traveling and fighting in the wild. This was not an impossible thing.
Wild wolves are everywhere in the grassland, and it is the Monster Moon that has just been designated. All monster groups are naturally gathering to form stable communities.
With blocked vision in the wild, any encounter with a moving colony may lead to unimaginable consequences. This month is also the month of the harpy, a monster that can fly.
Of course, Xu didn't come here just to show off. He really had no choice. No matter what he heard or encountered, of all the heroes he knew so far, there was still one who had a good ending.
How could he not have a sense of urgency? What's more, there were two mountains of horse thieves and orcs pressing down on him.
"No need to say more, this is an order, Yu Lan, you can also take action, just stare at the harpy queen and shoot, otherwise the mana will be wasted."
Seeing that I can't persuade you. After Xu Lai, everyone stopped trying to persuade him and began to prepare for battle honestly.
In this battle, Xu Lai no longer had level 2 trainee archers, but had 5 new recruits. A total of 9 level 3 archers plus 6 longbowmen were the main output.
Xu Lai and Giselle also joined the battle, and coupled with Yu Lan's acid spell from time to time, the output was much more intense than in the afternoon.
The two archer masters faithfully carried out Xu Lai's orders, constantly using their super long range to seduce the harpies for Xu Lai and the others.
It took them much less time to kill the harpies of similar size this time than in the afternoon, mainly because they were more experienced and had a tacit understanding of cooperation.
However, they can have the final say on when the battle starts, but they do not have the final say on when it ends.
All the monsters attracted must be cleared away, otherwise there is no way to take away the loot.
As for this loot, Xu Lai witnessed with his own eyes that it gradually upgraded from the most rubbish wooden treasure box to black iron, bronze, and finally into a silver treasure box.
It would be easier to make him give up this silver treasure chest than just stab him to death.
