Chapter 156 Invincible
The stronghold’s spells are more than a step behind those of humans.
As pre-war auxiliaries, the orc priests only released the most basic bloodthirsty thaumaturgy for the wolf cavalry. The human priests, under the auspices of the crimson archbishop Duer, had released a super-astonishing power. Holy spells, prayers.
The great thing about prayer is that it covers all your own troops, not to mention the three most important combat attributes, attack and defense speed, and it also has a guarantee.
On the other hand, bloodthirsty thaumaturgy increases the attack a lot, but it makes orcs with low IQs become bloodthirsty and lose part of their sanity. It is not a perfect gain spell.
The people dispatched by both sides were all the best of the best, so the battle was not in a hurry to start.
After the orc priests once again released a war cry that increased morale and anger, the priests also responded with an ultimate joy, and the morale skyrocketed, reaching the full value and appearing like a rainbow. .
It is worth mentioning that after the division of the troops, the troops directly affected by Xu Lai no longer include Giselle, the elf shooter captain.
So, Xu Lai’s command once again became the full cavalry of the entire empire camp. All the morale bonuses came back, and new flags were replaced. With the blessing of ultimate joy, they reached the full value at once. .
The third red light of the orcs falls, which is a protective shield that reduces melee physical damage by 30%. It is also the only status blessing for the orcs that has no negative effects.
However, what fell on Xu Lai and the others was a counterattack that was far more effective than the protective shield.
A counterattack doesn't have much effect. That is, when the enemy attacks you but fails to kill yourself, this spell will automatically counterattack the enemy.
This does not require the attacker to perform any operations at all, and relies entirely on counterattack simulated by spells. That is, if you happen to have the ability to counterattack at this time, you can also counterattack with spells.
The former commander of the stronghold this time was also at the front of the team like Xu Lai.
After several spells were cast, the famous Wolf General's eyes turned red, and he immediately ordered the entire army to charge and stop releasing Lao Shizi's auxiliary spells.
If he continues to use such auxiliary spells, he is afraid that all the knights on the opposite side will turn into supermen, and they will be beaten.
Our own priests had no choice. After the commander gave the order, they consciously got out of the way and waited for the wolf cavalry to rush away before returning to their own camp.
The number of priests in the stronghold is rare and therefore extremely valuable. The Beast King has repeatedly ordered that no one is allowed to treat these precious priests as consumables.
Archbishop Durr sighed regretfully. He was just about to preside over the release of the next concentration spell to increase defense. At this time, it was difficult to hit when he charged. It was not as powerful as the hero's strategic spell.
The priests in front did not cooperate with the priest in casting spells. Instead, like Ryan before, they prayed to the God of War and summoned their own sacred weapons and armor.
Archbishop Duer waved his hand, and all the priests collectively gave up the focused blessing that was almost ready, and instead guided another powerful sacred spell.
Before the spell was ready, in the fortress behind, a very large trebuchet with countless flame runes painted on its body was slowly pulled by several high-level shooters.
This is a large trebuchet transferred from the Castle of Count Ani. Different from other trebuchets, the cost of this trebuchet is extremely amazing, ten times that of ordinary trebuchets. The mage over there performed enchantments.
Among the ordinary city defense equipment, the attack distance of the ballista is about twice that of a high-level archer. With the addition of arrow towers and the like, it can reach more than 3 kilometers.
The range of trebuchets, especially large trebuchets, can be increased to an exaggerated 6 kilometers or more.
This flame trebuchet has a range of more than 12 kilometers and can be thrown up to 15 kilometers away.
The explosive bombs he used were all enchanted, and each one was worth hundreds of gold coins. Count Aini transported all the ammunition from the entire castle, but there were only more than 1,000 of them.
This trebuchet is also the only long-range device in the entire Stone Castle that can support the frontal battlefield.
Of course, in the big camp of the stronghold, even the highest-level orcs who are known for their strength can only throw a throwing ax a few hundred meters away.
With such a powerful range, apart from the terrifying Titans in the tower, even the boulder-throwing Cyclops can't match it. It is estimated that only the Cyclops King can match it.
The boulder flew extremely fast, but after all, it was more than ten kilometers away from the main battlefield. Before the explosive bombs could fly, the charging knights from both sides were about to collide.
Needless to say, the wolf cavalry can run faster than war horses in short-distance attacks. Talosi has its own ultimate pathfinding skills. Except for a limited number of terrains, the rest of the terrain is almost flat, and the grassland is even more It will not cause any loss to the Wolf Cavalry's speed.
Secondly, he also has master-level logistics skills, with a full 30% movement speed bonus. Even the ranger, who is famous for his speed, cannot outrun his wolf cavalry.
What is even more frightening is that Talosi has the talent to lead the wolf cavalry. Under his command, the wolf cavalry can increase its speed by another 10%.
However, for the first time, such a terrifying wolf cavalry was defeated in terms of speed by the Temple Knights led by Xu Lai and Pierce.
This is because Pierce wanted to unify the speed of the knights, so he suppressed the speed of the high-level knights. Otherwise, starting from the sixth-level knights, he would have to lose touch with the knights' retinue and trainee knights. It’s no wonder, now that Xu Lai is in charge, the talent speed increases the movement speed by 20%, the magic boots increase the movement speed by 3 points, the primary logistics skill 10%, the prayer magic 20%, and the full morale is like a rainbow in attack and defense. The three major attributes of speed are once again increased by 20%.
If you calculate it this way, the basic movement speed alone has increased by at least 80%-90%, and the charge speed is doubled, which is basically equivalent to 3 times the usual movement speed.
Even if it is calculated based on the ordinary war horse of a fourth-level trainee knight, the usual speed must be about 3 or 40 kilometers. This time it triples. In modern society, Xu Lai can only dare to do this on the highway. .
If the high-level knights did not suppress the speed of the horses, Xu Lai could not imagine how terrible the collision would be.
Seeing that the two sides are about to collide, here we have to mention another major advantage of the empire compared to the stronghold camp.
Middle-earth occupies the most resource-rich world, and the imperial civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years is extremely advanced. In these days, Xu Lai is also qualified to view the top-secret information, which includes the analysis of almost all arms in the stronghold.
The stronghold camp is far inferior in this regard. There are very few written records, and more are recorded by oral transmission.
Just like on the eve of the decisive battle, someone told the orcs that the Paladins led by Talosi were invincible. Talosi directly cursed at the priest:
“Our orc warriors are invincible! ”
But in fact, these paladins really know how to use invincibility.
The Orc Vanguard and the Temple Knights are two completely different formations. The front of the former is dominated by level 5 Wolf Warriors and Level 5 Warg Warriors.
The fifth-level wolf cavalry is the main force of this cavalry duel, and it is also the cannon fodder that Talosi deliberately placed at the front to sacrifice.
Talosi, who is used to cavalry, certainly knows how terrifying the impact of a cavalry duel is. It can be said that no matter how high the level of the cavalry is, there is a high probability that the cavalry will be killed by the opponent's cavalry. Under the gun.
On the contrary, like Pierce, it is extremely ridiculous to directly put the highest level Paladin at the front.
Paladins are of high level and have strong impact. If placed at the front, they can of course pierce through like a sharp knife.
But the number of wolf cavalry on Talosi's side is more than ten times that of the temple knights. No matter how sharp this sharp knife is, it cannot penetrate the wolf cavalry's line. Instead, it will be directly wrapped in it.
What's more, even if the wolf cavalry don't have spears, their double swords are not just decorations. With the blessing of charge and his ultimate offensive technique, their power is extremely terrifying.
You must know that it is extremely difficult to cultivate a level 7 warrior. Even a monster soldier needs countless battles and kills countless opponents of the same level before he can continue to advance.
At this moment, Pierce's vanguard battle flag fell down, and the vertical flag tilted upward, turning into a large charging gun.
All the paladins in the front row instantly made the same move, but the difference was that golden shields appeared on their bodies.
Pierce's shield not only covered his own body, but also Xu Lai who was following him, and Tahan, Yan Feng and others behind Xu Lai were all covered with golden shields.
At the same time, the crimson archbishop raised his staff, and thousands of people collectively released super large low-level spells, dispersing the magic and sweeping across the entire battlefield.
The various states that had just been blessed on the Wolf Cavalry disappeared completely under the influence of the dispersing method.
There was a loud "boom".
The knights on both sides collided fiercely, and a loud noise broke out.
Just as Talosi expected, the wolf cavalry in the front row exploded instantly like an inflated balloon encountering a lance with a speed of over 120 kilometers per hour under such a high-speed collision.
In the front row of the battlefield, bloody fireworks exploded. The blood directly turned into blood mist under the influence of high-speed air.
What Talosi expected was that the Paladins in the front row of the human camp, although they also withstood extremely high-speed collisions, were all intact, not even stained with blood. .
Of course, the ordinary knights and knight retinues behind the Paladin were not so lucky. Although the damage was blocked by the Paladin in the front row, their bodies were covered in blood and minced meat.
Each Paladin was like a high-speed tank, plunging into the group of wolf cavalry and pushing forward like a plow.
When their own impact is not enough, they will tacitly give up their positions, and the knights behind them with their lances raised will complete the second round of impact.
They put away their spears and took out the paladin warhammer exuding golden spells, smashing the orcs around them into meat pies. However, they still had the energy to shoot a holy healing spell at the knight in front. .
