Chapter 120 The Terrifying Speed Force
Having obtained a new talent, Xu Lai couldn't wait to try it with wild monsters. It just so happened that he brought out all his troops today.
However, all the wild monsters around him had been cleared away a long time ago. There was not even a single harpy left nearby that was just born this month. For a while, even if he wanted to find a group of monsters to come out and practice his skills, he couldn't find them. .
Finally, Xu Lai waved his hand and decided to find the trouble of the group of wild monsters that had been kept, that is, the tauren.
Now Xu Laixin has obtained three Minotaurs, which are the advanced bodies of the Minotaurs, so he has a better understanding of the Minotaurs.
The Minotaur is a pure melee unit at level 5 of the dungeon, with high attack, high defense, and high health. It undertakes the same tasks as the human infantry and spearmen, that is, the front row defense work.
But the advantage of the tauren over the infantry is that they are not slow, and they can become chargers who cooperate with manticores and even red dragons and black dragons.
Normally, even if Xu Lai had the blessing of the God of War's feet, his own archers would not be able to outrun these tauren.
If he must chew this bone, Xu Lai is worried that his low-level shooters will suffer losses, at least the spearmen and infantry in the front row will suffer losses.
Xu Lai, who was reluctant to die, just left them alone.
But now, he wanted to give it a try.
After the Harpy Moon, the number of minotaurs actually increased, now up to more than 30, and the number of minotaurs also reduced to 2.
The reason was very clear to Xu Lai. There were seven or eight more manticores at the entrance to the underground city. The reason was that a large group of harpies came to seize the territory in the middle of the night.
In the end, the manticores naturally won, accepting the gold coins and experience sent by the harpy. While expanding the population, several more manticores were born.
Thinking about it, although I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, the tauren should have become stronger because of this reason.
Xu Lai didn't need to deal with these tauren, and he couldn't, so there was no need to go to their guard zone to fight.
He rubbed his chin and decided to simply use the archer unit to kite.
This task was naturally still given to Su Ya and Giselle. He took Tahan and the knight troops to watch the show at a distance and also observed the situation.
Yu Lan led the infantry and flying troops away. In order to test the effect of the speed, Xu Lai did not even let Yu Lan cast the slowing spell.
To deal with wild monsters, Xu Lai can arrange his troops calmly. When everything is ready, Giselle's three-star combo will start the battle.
Although Giselle is only at level 5, her main attribute is agility, which is a full 30 points. After being blessed with the feet of the God of War, it is 35 points.
One thing that needs to be said here is that movement speed is not entirely brought by agility. Every creature of every race is born with a certain basic speed.
In addition to the basic speed, including attack speed, health, etc., some of them are innate, which is the so-called basic speed and basic health.
There is no basic magic power that comes from acquired cultivation, such as mana.
For those who have not practiced, even if they have intelligence attributes, they cannot activate mana.
The basic attributes are different for each race. For example, the elves have higher basic movement, the dwarves have basic magic resistance, the orcs have excellent basic endurance, etc.
The human race is relatively balanced, with neither outstanding basic attributes nor at the bottom.
And Giselle has 35 points of agility, which allows her to add an additional 11 points of movement speed bonus to the basic movement speed. After the blessing of logistics, it is 12 points.
The high-level treasure Shenxing Boots obtained by Xu Laixin has a 3-point basic movement speed bonus. These 3 points, like agility, can be blessed by logistics.
However, the blessing of logistics cannot take effect again under the speed talent. Both of them are bonuses based on movement speed.
To put it simply, Giselle's movement speed is (base speed + (35+9)/3) * 130%.
Xu Lai didn't know the basic speed of the elf, but just counting the bonus, it was equivalent to the effect of 57 points of agility.
Not to mention that the base speed of the tauren may not be as high as that of the elves. Even if it is a little higher than the elves, the speed of the elves is far higher than that of the tauren with the bonus.
Not to mention, the basic speed of the elves is also subject to a 30% bonus.
With such a terrifying bonus, I am afraid that only high-level flying species such as angels, dragons, and phoenixes can surpass elves in basic speed.
Compared to elves, humans are inferior. Especially Xu Lai has a level 4 long archer. Not only is his level lower than that of elves, but his main attribute is strength, and the difference in agility is more than 10 points.
Xu Lai's main worry is whether these long archers will hold him back.
With the help of the shooters' ultra-long range of 300 meters, the Tauren had already suffered casualties before they even got close.
Every step after that, a tauren fell to the ground.
Although their defense is high, they are still in the state of projectile or half-arrow attack, but they can't stand up to Xu Lai's archers and the damage is not bad.
With the three stacks of Xu Lai, Su Ya and Giselle, several tauren were injured with every wave of arrows.
The front row, which was targeted by Giselle and others, had a slightly more concentrated firepower and was hit by three to five arrows. Even if they didn't die, they would still be seriously injured.
This is the case when the explosive shooter, flame shooter and others collectively released water without using enchanted arrows.
Originally Xu Lai thought that the biggest impact of his talent bonus was his movement speed.
But looking at it now, it is obvious that the attack speed is more affected.
The different attack speeds of the long archers and sharpshooters, with Xu Lai's bonus, just formed a ladder-like continuous rain of arrows. Giselle did not let her marksmen take aim, and instead suffered a partial loss of hit rate. But without that second of aiming time, the speed of the marksmen and master marksmen could be described as exaggerated.
The arrows that could hardly stop, one after another, reminded Xu Lai of the firearms in modern society. They were not bolt-action rifles that fired once. , but the kind of automatic rifle that keeps ejecting bullets once the trigger is pulled.
Of course, if there is a real comparison, there is still a certain gap in speed between the two.
But it can't be compared to fully automatic, semi-automatic or worse, but it can still be compared.
The Archer Master is already a level 6 unit, only one level away from the advanced level 7, so these two units receive the most bonuses.
On the other hand, the longbowmen were obviously much worse off, especially since they still used projectiles at the beginning.
The tauren were not densely packed, and the hit rate of the projectiles was really impressive. Even if Su Ya deliberately controlled them to make last hits, they didn't pick up a few heads in the end.
Xu Lai originally just wanted to test the movement speed, so he only asked the shooter to kite.
Unexpectedly, the kite finally got up. The two minotaurs at the front died in the second round of arrow rain. There were a bunch of seriously injured minotaurs around them, and the third minotaur was killed. A lot of them died in one round.
In the end, less than 10 minotaurs rushed into the 100-meter cordon. It was at this time that the power of the shooters really exploded.
With such amazing results, Su Ya simply ordered not to move. Sure enough, the last fallen tauren was still 50 meters away.
The speed of the tauren is not bad. Running at full speed is no less than a car in the city. The speed is definitely 7 or 80 kilometers per hour.
Equivalent to these minotaurs, it only takes 15 seconds to run 300 meters, and these 15 seconds are enough for the master archer to shoot at least dozens of arrows. This is still to ensure a certain hit rate. Down.
If he just closed his eyes and shot blindly, Xu Lai would never dare to think about the speed.
Xu Lai had already felt the power of his troops when he was in the harpy's treasure house.
But until this moment, his number is smaller than that of the opponent, and the shooter troops are not much different in level. The battle attributes can be called level 5. The strongest tauren in level 6 still have high morale. The blessed tauren actually suffered zero casualties.
Xu Lai finally realized what a real hero is.
A hero is not the strength of one person, but the strength of a group of people. What Xu Lai brought to his troops was a qualitative change, which is also the strength of a hero.
It was this battle that directly strengthened Xu Lai's determination.
He immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops and ordered all the soldiers to go back and rest, including Giselle and others.
The archers go to the wooden house first. Their arrows and physical strength are not very exhausted. It is estimated that they will be fully recovered in less than 3 hours.
The same goes for other warriors. When they were fighting hand-to-hand with the harpies, they lost a little physical strength and could rest without even using the cabin.
Of course he would not go back. Instead, he and Su Ya visited the camp guarded by the tauren.
Surprisingly, this camp is not big. It is a group of tents connected together, and the people living inside are all humans.
This is a mercenary camp, and there are several mercenaries living in the camp.
Before, they were blocked by the circle of tents outside and Xu Lai could not see them. After he entered the camp, the mercenary leader found him directly.
"This hero, are you interested in training with us?"
Although he didn't know what this meant, Xu Lai knew that such outdoor buildings are generally for benefits. He immediately agreed.
The mercenary leader was also unambiguous. He directly asked his men to bring a wooden sword and shield to Xu Lai, and then struck Xu Lai with his sword without saying a word.
Xu Lai's shield usage was already level 2, and he blocked almost instinctively. However, although he blocked the sword, he was hit in the thigh by a side kick from the mercenary leader, and he knelt down on the spot.
"Training with the mercenaries in the mercenary camp, your strength has increased."
After walking out of the camp, Xu Lai received the news, and his strength indeed increased by 1 point.
But when he wanted to turn back and continue training, the mercenary camp was already empty, as if that group of people had never appeared.
Unlike Xu Lai, although Su Ya also entered the camp and received training from other mercenaries with Xu Lai, Su Ya's strength did not increase.
However, Su Ya's one-handed weapon and shield use skills greatly increased her experience points, all of which were upgraded by one level. In comparison, Xu Lai was a little behind.
Wei Yihong, who was walking in the village, felt strange when he saw the large army returning.
Although he was recruited not long ago, he also knew that Xu Lai had never been idle for a moment in the past few days.
But he is a smart man. In his current life, he no longer has to fight and kill, and he does not have to be with a group of mummies. He is already very satisfied and does not want to make himself unhappy.
Xu Lai will naturally tell him whatever he needs to know.
And if Xu Lai didn't take the initiative to tell him, he would never inquire about it.
After Xu Lai came back, he really had no intention of telling him. He simply said hello and went to rest in the house.
