Chapter 157 Strategy and Tactics (Brothers, please subscribe)
Unlike other experienced paladins, although Xu Lai also charged forward with a heavy lance, as the first warg warrior After it exploded in front of him, he closed his eyes instantly.
Although the Crown of Dragon Teeth is a high-level treasure with a very powerful defense, it does not have a mask and cannot protect against the blood that hits the face.
So when the confusion of Blood Dance spread, Xu Lai closed his eyes subconsciously.
But he soon realized something was wrong. His charging speed continued to decrease due to constant collisions, and his lance continued to stab each body.
Even after he visited the mercenary camp and the arena, his strength attribute was as high as 18 points, and his arm was sore from the constant impact.
But his health has always remained at full value. It was clear that before he closed his eyes, he saw those orcs with fierce faces, who were trying to kill him with their double swords.
After opening his eyes, the blood mist was still lingering in the air, and the bloody smell rushed straight to his forehead, giving him the urge to gag.
Through the blood mist, you can still see the ferocious-looking orcs, holding two thick-backed machetes and slashing like madmen.
The golden shield in front of Xu Lai emits bursts of golden light from time to time, making him unable to bear any damage at all.
[Holy Armor]: Immune to all attacks and spells, lasting one minute.
This is the least explained skill Xu Lai has ever seen, but it is the most practical skill. The saying that it is immune to all attacks and spells can be renamed, invincible.
It means that after putting on this armor, only I can hit you, and no matter what method you use, you can't hurt me.
There is about half a minute left of the one-minute invincibility time. Xu Lai's long-pole weapon is already good, but after all, the weapon is too long and heavy, and the efficiency of killing enemies is too slow, so he simply changed it to the Hundred Battle Knife. .
The noble horses under Xu Lai's command are much taller than the wolf cavalry's mounts, but orcs are generally taller and stronger than humans.
Usually, hundreds of swords are used to chop off the heads of infantrymen, which is really like mowing grass.
It was obviously much more uncomfortable to cut today than usual. Although these wolf cavalry did not wear iron armor, their physique was not bad, and they were blessed with advanced defensive skills.
However, Xu Lai not only has intermediate offensive skills, but also has the bonus brought by prayer and full morale. The damage is much higher than usual.
Without the charge blessing, if you can't kill a level 5 wolf cavalry with one sword, you can kill him with two or three swords. Anyway, these wolf cavalry can't hurt him.
The best performer around Xu Lai was the heroic Yan Feng. Although Tahan also had a sacred armor, it was impossible for him to just drop his shield.
After throwing away his one-handed spear, he held a two-handed sword in one hand and could easily kill an orc with one sword.
Compared with Tahan, Yan Feng is lighter. The upgraded stainless steel sword of the Thousand Commander in his hand can strike three or four times in one second. Even Xu Lai and Tahan can't beat this guy together.
Pierce, who had the highest level in the game, could not throw away the flag in his hand, but his arms were so powerful that he used the flag as a long stick.
Pierce waved his arms left and right, and the orc warriors in front and the giant wolf under their crotches were crushed to pieces by the powerful force.
While the Holy Armor still had nearly 20 seconds left, Pierce raised the vanguard flag again, this time pointing it towards the opposite flag of King Behemoth.
This is the king's flag given to Talosi by the Beast King. Without this king's flag, Talosi would not be qualified to command the allied beast army in the stronghold.
So, even if Talosi did not deliberately highlight himself, as long as this royal flag is there, Talosi will definitely be there, and even if he is not there, he has to rush back for rescue.
The first collision between the human cavalry and the orcs ended in a great victory for the human cavalry. At this time, the two sides were already fighting in one place, regardless of each other.
The scale of both sides is so large that the death of one or two wolf cavalry will not lose much morale at all.
The key is that the casualties on both sides are seriously disproportionate. With the bonus of the priest's healing and rejuvenation skills from the rear and the holy healing skills of the paladins around him, the high-level knights almost always maintain full health.
The attack that the Wolf Cavalry is proud of, with the ultimate defense technique, high armor, prayers and full morale, is not even half of what it usually is.
It can be said that this battle is almost one-sided.
In this situation where there is only loss but no replenishment, no matter how high the morale of the Wolf Cavalry is, it will gradually collapse.
Of course, Talosi has the ultimate leadership skill. The master-level leadership skill has the effect of reducing the rate of morale loss by 50%. Coupled with the inspiring effect of advanced leadership skills, morale can always be maintained at a high level. .
However, once the King Behemoth Flag given by the Beast King falls, not only the increased attack power of the King Flag disappears, but also the 15 points of increased basic morale will disappear immediately. This does not include the morale caused by the flag falling. punish.
Since ancient times, beheading generals and seizing the flag has been the only way to collapse the enemy's morale. Once King Behemoth's flag falls, this will increase or decrease, at least 30 points of morale will be lost.
The high morale that is now difficult to maintain under the encouragement state will immediately drop to normal morale after losing 30 points. If there are more casualties in the middle, it may directly enter low morale.
The increase and decrease will cause great losses to the combat power of one's own wolf cavalry, so Talosi will never allow this to happen.
However, Pierce took the lead, followed by his bodyguard paladins and knights, as well as Xu Lai, who never dared to stay away.
In addition to Xu Lai's own bonus, the knights under Xu Lai also received bonuses from Tahan and Yan Feng respectively. Even if they are not as skilled in various skills as other human knights, the damage is actually not bad. Give more. On the roof of the fortress, the leader of the fortress army, ranger Kate, and an old man with a white beard were standing on the roof watching the battle.
Count Aini invited them to the watchtower, but neither of them liked the count, so they ran to the roof alone.
Kate, who possesses a master's eagle eye skill, took a look at the situation and said to the old man with a white beard beside him:
"In my opinion, the stronghold cannot hold it any longer. Pierce's nickname is Blond. It is said that once the lion charges, no one can resist it.
Now that the lion has added strength, the wolf in the stronghold may not be able to resist it. ”
The old man with a white beard touched his beard and said: "Although the golden dragon and the green dragon are far better than the thunderbird and the roc, after all, there are too many ants to kill the elephant. If the stronghold really wants to dispatch the flying legion at all costs, your giant dragon will not be able to resist it." "Stay."
Kate nodded and said: "I am about to ask Master Soros to help me."
The white-bearded old man known as Soros said with a smile:
"It's me, an old man, who wants to ask you for help. Pierce probably won't be able to save us in time. Only ranger Kate, who specializes in logistics, has the ability to save us when we are besieged by orcs."
Kate smiled slightly and said: "Help each other, I heard that a large number of demons have appeared in the Aswan Snow Mountain."
The anger on Soros's face flashed away. A mage like him rarely showed his emotions in front of outsiders. This shows how out of control Kate's news made him.
“Your information is correct. Maybe in a few years, you will never hear the name Aswan Snow Mountain again. The devil is planning to transform it into a lava fortress.
But it is precisely because of this that the Parliament decided to save the empire at all costs
The demons that appeared in the tower were just a partial army. Although they captured the Aswan Snow Mountain, they were also trapped in the snow. On top of the mountain.
If the empire falls and the army of demons and undead sweeps over the tower, the tower will be destroyed. ”
Kate nodded and said: "The same is true for the barrier. With the help of that group of underground reptiles, the Dracolich has appeared in the forest. These bastards have been pursuing the idea of Dragon Nest for thousands of years."
Thoros said happily: "Those underground reptiles, aren't they afraid that the undead will refine their black dragons into bone dragons first? The undead are not a camp that values credibility."
Kate has to say more, Suddenly, countless golden eagles, rocs and thunderbirds began to take off from the base camp.
"The time has come. I sent a message to Count Aini, hoping that he will not miss the mark."
Soros shrugged and said: "Only by winning this battle, his noble knight family Don’t worry, your talent will be preserved.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a super explosive bomb made up of several explosive bombs flew out and landed directly behind the Orc King's flag.
After all, a catapult is not a missile. Even if it is controlled by several high-level shooters, it will be difficult to accurately hit a flag more than ten kilometers away.
What's more, the flag is carried by a person. With the speed of the Wolf Cavalry, he can escape before the explosive bomb hits the ground.
Therefore, there is almost no chance of success in using explosive bombs to destroy the king's flag.
This explosive bomb was obviously just to cooperate with Pierce's capture of the flag. Talosi, who was guarding the flag, quickly deduced this based on experience.
So he ordered the formation to remain unchanged, and only mobilized the thousands of level 7 Wolf Warriors around him around Wang Banner.
With Xu Lai's blessing, Pierce was truly as unstoppable as a tiger descending a mountain. Under the influence of his Holy Light skill, Xu Lai's vanguard flag seemed to be coated with a layer of gold powder.
The Vanguard banner blessed with Holy Light Punishment is like a red-hot iron rod. Those who stand in front of it, whether it is a level 5 Wolf Fighter or a Level 6 Wolf Knight, will either be smashed by the flag. Crush it, or be knocked out and knocked unconscious.
The paladins on the side waved their swords and shields to protect Pierce, who had lost his sacred armor. From time to time, he released a healing Xu Lai who also led his guards to charge on the other side.
Miraculously, with the treatment of the Paladins and Xu Lai's healing spells, the troops under his command have not been attrited so far.
The treatment of the priests could no longer cover the Temple Knights who were rushing forward. They also had to put all their healing power on the knights on both wings and the priests who replaced the Temple Knights on top.
Otherwise, the knights and priests, surrounded by multiple enemies, would all fall to the ground in minutes.
At this time, they cannot fall yet. They must persist longer than the orcs until Pierce succeeds in capturing the flag.
This is a tactic that has been formulated a long time ago. Otherwise, the human coalition would never be able to match the Orc coalition, which is several times their size and has almost the same level of eliteness.
As early as when they learned about the character of the orc commander, Pierce, Duer, Aini, Kate and the top leaders such as Thoros, who had come to Stone Castle a long time ago but could not hide out, made a decision. Today’s decisive battle plan.
There was a loud bang. This time the explosion was far greater than the previous explosive bombs. The flames and flying ammunition fragments killed hundreds of wolf cavalry on the spot, and injured countless more wolf cavalry.
The most important thing is that the smoke and dust formed by the explosion perfectly covered the tower mages who were teleported by magic.
