Chapter 212 Hard Work
Orcs are notoriously ignorant of magic, so Xu Lai had ignored the orcs' magical power before, causing him to be almost killed by a focused fireball.
As the saying goes, there are soldiers just like the generals.
Xu Lai, the leader, did not pay much attention to the power of magic. Naturally, Yan Feng and others also ignored magic.
Until a rain of fire suddenly appeared above the head, and the rain of fire came one after another, leaving no one with anywhere to hide.
Yan Feng immediately ordered a charge, and the heroes' speed, which had already reached its ultimate speed, suddenly doubled again.
This speed may not be comparable to that of high-speed rail, but compared to EMU, it is completely crushed.
At this moment, Yan Feng and the others must be traveling at least over 300 kilometers per hour. This is also the first time they have fully unleashed their full firepower.
Three continuous pieces of fire rain covered an area of thousands of square meters, but fell on Yan Feng and the others for only a short two or three seconds.
This is because even if Yan Feng and the others launch a charge, it will take some time and distance to increase their speed, and they cannot reach the ultimate speed instantly.
The level of the Fire Rain Technique is higher than that of the Fire Wall Technique, and it is released by the ogre magician. Enjoy the bonus brought by the spirit, and it is definitely much more powerful than Xu Lai's Fire Wall Technique scroll.
Gebadas on the city wall could see more clearly, and he had been prepared and his calculations were more accurate than Xu Lai's.
“I suffered a total of 3 seconds of rain of fire damage, of which nearly two seconds were in the state of two pieces of rain of fire superimposing.
How much damage was done by your rain of fire? "
The ogre priest replied: "Their spirits are different and their equipment is very average. As you know, we orcs are not good at making magic equipment..."
"I know this, please answer my question." Gebadas once again suppressed his anger and interrupted the other party's words.
"On average, it's about 7 or 80 damage per second."
Gebadas snorted again, but he had no choice but to say silently:
"Calculated based on 70 points of damage, 3 seconds is 210. If two pieces of fire rain are superimposed for 1 second, it is 280 points of damage.
If you estimate it optimistically, it will cause up to 240 plus superimposition for 2 seconds. 160 points, a total of 400 points of damage
Magic damage is only affected by resistance and some treasures. I saw that they didn't even appear seriously injured when they ran out of the fire rain. I guess they should have the effect of resistance on them.
The enemy hero is so young and his level cannot be too high.
Judging from the speed of the cavalry just now, the opponent has logistics skills no less than master level, archery skills no less than advanced, and probably at least high-level resistance.
According to the battle report you provided me yesterday, they should have defensive and offensive effects, and their levels will not be low, at least they will be double high or above.
Coupled with the leadership skill that must be standard for human knights, the wisdom skill that most knights will learn, and the pathfinding skill that is almost essential when entering the wilderness.
This human hero is not simple. "
The orc priest frowned. Of course he knew that this human hero was not a simple hero. Which simple hero would dare to lead such a small number of troops into the stronghold's hometown.
Jebadas also had a headache. , at Xu Lai's age, he doesn't look like a high-level hero.
This kind of hero descending from the sky has also happened in their stronghold, and there are not many heroes born in their stronghold, so one by one. They all attach great importance to them and give priority to training.
Jebadas has several orc heroes with him, but their average level is only about level 7, and the highest one is only level 9. He should focus on training them. There is this level.
To make him believe that Xu Lai is a hero descended from heaven, it is better to make him believe that Xu Lai is a direct descendant of an old noble family and has a very powerful treasure on his body, which is why he has such terrifying strength.
"Go and open the city gate!"
Gebadas suddenly ordered.
"Are you crazy? The city gate is opened, what should I do if they rush into the city? There are not many troops in the city now, they are all old, weak, women and children."
The ogre priest seemed He was extremely excited and had no choice. Most of the people in this city were his tribesmen. If they were massacred, of course they would also be the ones who died.
Gebadas was momentarily frightened by the opponent's momentum. After a pause, he said:
"Forget it, these cavalry have retreated. There is no point in opening the city gate now."
After finishing speaking, Gebadas explained: "The mobility of this human cavalry is too strong. If we don't lure them into the city to give them a try, they won't even be able to catch up in the wild.
< br>Don’t forget, there are many occupied buildings outside Kuba City, and there are stone mines and mercury mines refining them. Even if you don’t want these wild buildings, don’t you want those towns that are attached to Kuba?
< br>After all, they only have more than a hundred units. Not counting the recruitment of troops, there are tens of thousands of orcs and ogres in the city. One person and one stick can kill them all. ”
The priest was silent, and his reason told him that Gebadas' plan was indeed the best choice.
But the terrifying fighting power unleashed by those knights also left the priests with lingering fears. There were many ogres who had fled from other villages and towns in Kuba City.
There were also thousands of ogres in the Blood Man clan's town, but they were all slaughtered, not even a single knight from the other side was killed.
The old priest still had a good eye, and he recognized at a glance that the people surrounding Xu Lai were definitely the most powerful knights in the human race, the paladin.
These guys can fight, carry, and heal. If they rely on the lives of ogres, how many will they have to pile up? Not to mention that there is an archangel beside the opponent, which is a being that even the Behemoth, the symbol of the stronghold, cannot defeat.
Seeing the priest's silence, Gebadas also fell silent.
In any case, the human cavalry has left, and they will not come back even if they open the city gate now.
“I’ll go back and mobilize the troops. You’d better issue a notice in the name of the chief, asking all the ogres from nearby villages to take refuge in the city.
At the worst, you should also concentrate on the town. , the village’s defensive strength is too weak and it will not last long.”
"In this case, what about the food? What about the resources? Without these villages, we would not be able to feed such a large population." The priest asked unwillingly.
Jebadas said: "There are always sacrifices. Besides, didn't your tribe just send a large number of soldiers to the front line, just to make room."
Don't talk about food. The human demon and Gebadas were discussing countermeasures. Xu Lai didn't really want to attack the city, but there was such a big city there, and he felt itchy not to show off.
Fortunately, the results were pretty good. Except for himself, who gained nothing, almost each of the other 12 heroes killed no less than 20 orcs.
After the battle was settled, Xu Lai got the exact answer. There were 288 orcs in total, 11 orc ax throwers, and a total of 299 gains.
I don't know if the ogres are too poor, or if they really feel that the orcs are useless.
Most of the only long-range units in Kuba City are of the lowest level.
Even if they only advance one level and become level 4 orc ax throwers, protected by a base camp-level city wall, the heroes will not be able to kill them one by one with one arrow.
In addition, Xu Lai also discovered a benefit. These 299 gains all came from the heroes. The key is that the heroes can no longer be promoted, so all the experience is equally divided among other troops.
The two trainee knights benefited from this and were promoted to knights' retinue.
Coupled with the experience gained when wiping out those villages, the 54 trainee knights he brought out have gradually been promoted to half of them. The key is that not only did the promotion not cost extra, Xu Lai also made some money for himself.
This is much faster and less expensive than training at home.
The conditions were a bit difficult, and Xu Lai was really tortured by the weather in this wild land.
Xu Lai and the others did not leave too far. After allowing the archers to replenish their strength, they moved to fight elsewhere.
Surrounding the large town of Kuba, Xu Lai discovered several towns and even large mines nearby.
But when the miners saw Xu Lai, they ran away. Xu Lai didn't even bother to chase them. They were undoubtedly some big-eared monsters and big-eared monster kings, trash among the trash.
It is worth mentioning that although miner Xu Lai did not pursue him, he did not gain nothing in the mine.
This large mine should be affiliated to Kuba City. What is mined is not any valuable resources, just ordinary stone mines.
Stones are very valuable when placed on the Pingfeng grassland separated by a mountain.
But in this messy, wild land full of hills, the price is only one-tenth of that of wood.
If trade between the grassland and the stronghold could be opened, the merchants could make a huge profit just from the huge price difference between the two supplies.
Of course, even if trade is allowed, transportation will be a problem.
Have you ever seen orcs who would rather use wood to build their base camp than stone?
This thing is much heavier than wood of the same volume. The orcs' logistics troops have to transport food, weapons and equipment, and stones are really unable to be transported.
There are a lot of stones piled up in the mine. Xu Lai estimates that there are not only 100,000 units but also 80,000 units.
His space backpack has freed up some food and grass in the past two days, but there is still space.
It’s just a matter of stuffing a few hundred units into his backpack, so there’s no problem. Don’t even dream about it if there are so many.
In addition to the rocks on the ground and the big-eared monsters all over the mountains and plains, Xu Lai also found many orc slaves in this mine.
Most of these orc slaves, called hard laborers, come from other races.
For example, the wolf-headed men and lizard men in the swamp fortress, the cavemen in the underground city, and most importantly, there are a lot of humans.
When Xu Lai appeared, these people couldn't even believe it.
They never dared to dream that even though they were kidnapped by orcs and returned to the wilderness, they would still see a human knight one day.
After a moment of stunned silence, there were painful cries that echoed throughout the mountains and plains.
Not only human drudges, but also those wolf-headed men, lizard men, and even a few elves.
Xu Lai didn't know where the orcs got these elves, but there were no women among the elves.
