The slow arrows exploded in the griffon group, so no manticores were injured, but more than 60 manticores, regardless of level, were all hit by 30% of the slowness, and their speeds were greatly reduced.
Although the manticore is a flying creature, its flying speed is about the same as that of a gryphon.
Their body is that of a lion. With such a huge body, it is good to be able to fly. After all, the wingspan is not as big as that of a griffon.
However, the Manticore Lion and the Manticore King are faster than the Battle Griffin and the Royal Griffin.
After being hit by this 30% slowdown, even the Scorpion Lion King can no longer compare with the Royal Griffin.
The most important thing is that after the speed is reduced, the shooter's hit rate will be higher.
A group of explosive shooters increased their attack by a full 45% with the blessing of Rogers' magic shooter talent and Marksman Master trait.
Rogers' magic archer trait can also increase the basic attack and defense of spell shooters by 10 points. Even without Xu Lai present, these shooters also caused horrific damage.
Their explosive arrows fell into the group of manticores and exploded. The huge damage directly covered all the manticores.
However, for a group of manticores with an average level of 7, this round of attacks is not fatal. At most, it only ignites many manticores and poisonous manticores.
But the subsequent attack by the flame shooter was life-threatening. More than 80 flame arrows were shot out, and less than half of the manticores were cleared immediately.
Although the flame shooters are only level 5, they have the Rogers bonus and the height bonus of the city wall, and their damage is completely equivalent to that of level 6 or even level 7 shooters.
If all the manticores hadn't spread out and most of the attacks were blocked by the manticores in front, this wave of arrows would have definitely wiped out more than half of them.
The damage of the flame arrow is higher, and it also causes additional fire damage. Although the manticore's physique is good, it has no spell resistance after all.
Even if most of the physical damage is reduced by the skin, there is no way to be immune to fire damage.
The explosive arrows alone and the fire damage from the two flame arrows were extremely fatal, not to mention that many manticores in the front row took three or even four shots.
After the manticore in front falls, the poisonous manticore and manticore king in the rear are all creatures of level 7 or above. Mid- and low-level troops attacking them will have damage reduction caused by level suppression.
Besides, the flame archer's flame arrows require additional charging. The explosive archer takes 5 seconds to cast, while the flame archer takes 3 seconds.
But in addition to them, there are sky shooters and master shooters on the city wall.
Three consecutive beads and seven-star consecutive beads were launched at the same time. The rain of arrows erupted by the 20 archers in an instant was almost comparable to the one hundred magic archers before.
Relatively speaking, these physical shooters have higher attack power, but there is no additional damage from spells, and the damage caused is not as strong as the flame shooters.
However, under the attack of these shooters, a dozen more manticores fell.
The magic archers in the arrow tower took action again. This time they used all their strength to output, either serial lightning arrows or powerful flame explosion arrows.
The sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and sparks were everywhere. In the end, only a few Manticores hiding in the back row and ten Level 8 Manticore Kings barely survived.
They were faster, even if they were slowed down, they quickly approached the city head.
But the rain of arrows on the city top has not stopped yet, and the heavy crossbowmen with a shorter range fired the crossbow bolts in the crossbow machine.
Heavy crossbows have far more damage than level 4 archers. Their shortcoming is range, but they use repeating crossbows to make up for this disadvantage.
75 heavy crossbowmen shot 150 heavy crossbow arrows, coupled with the rain of arrows from the militia archers, in the end, these dozen level 8 Scorpion Lion Kings and Poison Scorpion Lions still failed to set foot on the city. head.
The spears of the heavy-armored spearmen had already been thrust out, and the last Scorpion Lion had no choice but to fall off the city wall unwillingly.
Although the militiamen have grown several times, unfortunately, the last round of attacks still has little to do with them.
Unless the militiamen's arrows hit vital parts such as eyes, they cannot even break the skin, let alone cause damage.
If Xu Lai is present, has the blessing of advanced archery, and has the effect of ignoring defense, maybe the militia can still play a role.
Su Ya sighed. Recruiting the militia was her attempt, but it turned out that the level of the militia was still too low.
However, in this attempt, it cannot be said that the militia is completely useless.
At least after recruiting farmers into militia shooters, when controlling city defense equipment such as crossbows, catapults, and catapults, both speed and hit rate are far better than ordinary farmers.
Moreover, militia shooters are helpless against high-level combat capabilities. After all, there are two levels of suppression, and the defense of high-level units is too high.
But with the blessing of the city wall effect, it is still capable of fighting against units below high level.
In addition, the number of militia shooters is there after all. It can be used to clear out some low-level soldiers who consume ammunition and physical strength, and the effect will be very good.
"Clean up the battlefield. In addition, Jian Yuan, you lead the invisible people down the underground passage and investigate the nearby underground world first.
If there is a suitable target..."
< br>
Before he finished speaking, an arrow pierced the dimension and appeared suddenly in front of Su Ya.
The arrow did not cause any harm to Su Ya, but lay stunned on Su Ya's hand, but the luster on the surface of the arrow had faded.
Su Ya is very familiar with the style of this arrow. After all, she carries it with her every day.
“General Su?”
Seeing Su Ya stunned, Jian Yuan quickly reminded her again.
Su Ya's face was solemn, she coughed and said, "Wait a moment, there is a letter from the lord." The formerly bustling Green Forest Town was in the midst of a busy relocation.
Xu Lai and his cavalry were escorting the villagers of Green Forest Town and nearby villages to the nearby Baishi City.
This is Xu Lai's last condition for agreeing to send troops, which is to move all nearby villages into the city.
The demons' revenge will definitely come, but Fiona, who was in tens of thousands of troops, was killed. The demons have no idea what happened, nor how strong the human army here is.
Once the demons figure out the information and gather enough troops, they will surely retaliate by bloodbathing all nearby towns.
Xu Lai can't control people in other places, but in Green Forest Town, especially Luo Mingru's village, the people there were brought back from the wilderness by Xu Lai after all the hard work.
Xu Lai couldn't bear to let them die in the devil's revenge.
Archbishop Daniel agreed to this request, but he did not want Xu Lai to waste too much time.
So Xu Lai had no choice but to escort the vanguard into the city, and then immediately ran towards the holy mountain Novak.
As for those in Green Forest Town who still had to pack their bags slowly and could not make a quick decision, Xu Lai could only abandon them.
With Xu Lai and the archbishop of the temple here, the defenders of Baishi City would not dare not open the door.
However, once they leave, even if Viscount Nordin of White Rock City has agreed, he may not open the door again when they turn around.
But Xu Lai has already done everything he can do. The so-called damn ghosts can’t be persuaded by good words. They don’t care about their own lives, and the lord himself doesn’t care about his subjects. What else can he do? Woolen cloth.
Having said that, Xu Lai, who had been traveling all night, was not in a good mood.
Luo Mingru, who had already made up his mind to upgrade to a town, could not hide his disappointment.
Baishi City is not even willing to tolerate the people of the empire too much, so how could it be possible to allow Luo Mingru to bring the fortress race into the city.
Staying there can only wait for death. Luo Mingru can only take the big werewolf and lizard man and fly away.
It's a pity that Xu Lai helped him build a wooden house and a farm. Once the village was demolished, only a quarter of the materials were recovered, and he didn't earn a cent at all.
The heroes he met when they came to the Northern Empire, Fang Yang went to the grassland, Luo Mingru also went in the opposite direction, and even Yu Lan was sent back by him. Xu Lai felt a little more melancholy in his heart.
Fortunately, there wasn't much time left for him to feel melancholy. After driving for several hours at night, Daniel said that further ahead was an area often haunted by demons, and he suggested setting up a temporary camp first.
Of course Xu Lai has no objection. After a busy day, he also wants to have a good rest.
Unfortunately, the camp was just set up, and Daniel and the others ran to Xu Lai Lai.
What they were discussing with Xu Lai was business, and Xu Lai certainly couldn't drive them out.
Daniel took out a military map and spread it out in Xu Lai's tent.
"Welcome to rejoin the battlefield, honorary knight under the God of War, hero Xu Lai.
Please let me introduce you to the current situation. This is Novak Mountain, and this is the Emerald City."
Daniel pointed to a huge city sign under the mountains.
Xu Lai nodded, knowing that this was very important military information and there could be no mistakes.
Just listen to Daniel continue to explain to Xu Lai:
"This is Nok City, Boulder City, and Jade City. They are all satellite cities that protect the Emerald City. The most important thing is that these cities are currently in the hands of the demons."
Xu Lai opened his mouth wide. Looking at Daniel, he knew what a satellite city was.
The satellite cities in this world are completely military cities, mainly to protect those open economic cities, or important cities such as the capital.
Emerald City has a total of 4 satellite cities, only one less than the Holy Angel City, the capital of the empire. Of course, three of these 4 satellite cities were built later.
The three cities Daniel mentioned just now were all built later. When Xu looked at the information, he still remembered that these three cities seemed to have only been built to the fortress level.
"The only base camp city, Sickle City, is still in our hands. It is also the frontline base where most of the empire's nobles are located.
The other base is in Aivik, the former Northern Cathedral. , is located in this city, more than a hundred kilometers away from the Emerald City, and is mainly stationed with the army of the temple and the reinforcements of the tower and barrier camp.
Logically speaking, you should go to Shiklai City first. Report, but if you are willing to lead the Sixth Temple Legion, you can stay in Aivik in the name of the Temple Legion Commander.
Of course, if you do this, your mercenary treatment will be cancelled. , that is, you will not be able to get the monthly salary of 10,000 gold coins.
But our temple has the priority to select trophies. If you are willing to come, several crimson bishops have said that you can. Raise the order of the Sixth Knights to be on par with the First Knights
The First Knights defended the Imperial Capital and almost never left the Imperial Capital.
The Second Knights are in the Western Empire. According to the previous spoils distribution method, the Third Knights have priority. "
Xu Lai looked at the two of them dumbfounded, the focus was on Lina Caril, who had been silent.
"Ms. Lina, I thought we had communicated before. "
Lina nodded and said: "Yes, we have communicated before, but we have not communicated well yet! "(End of Chapter)
