The sword master's prediction was correct. After taking the magic immunity potion, although the spell no longer worked on him, Giselle's phantom arrows were not really just phantoms.
Phantom arrows also have real physical damage.
It is equivalent to this phantom, which is also physical, so it will not be restrained by the magic immunity potion at all.
The sword master is extremely experienced, and he noticed something was wrong the moment the blade collided with the phantom arrow.
Such a strong sound that breaks the air is not so powerful.
But by the time he reacted, it was already too late.
And there is nothing wrong with him focusing on protecting his legs. Once his mobility is restricted, it is even less likely that he will have a chance to escape.
He just didn't expect that the arrows shot out would be so many and so fierce.
Union was shot straight away and was pierced by countless arrows.
Of course it is impossible for a sword master who is good at agility to wear those heavy armors.
And ordinary shooters are unable to hit the sword master who is as fast as the wind, except for the ninth-level title ranger Giselle who has a sure-hit attribute.
Pierced by the dense arrows, a faint yellow light flashed across the sword master's body, but he did not die.
During the dying struggle, the Sword Master in the air suddenly split into four, with three more identical clones appearing.
The Juggernaut's clone is different from other illusions. His clone, like Giselle's phantom arrow, is physical.
These clones are all capable of fighting and resisting, and can even inherit Union's fatal blow. It is impossible for ordinary people to tell them apart in a short time.
As soon as the Sword Master releases his clones, they all run away in different directions and are almost never caught.
But unfortunately, the Juggernaut who released his clone this time is still in mid-air.
Although it didn’t even take a second to land, this crucial time of less than a second was enough for Giselle to fire several additional arrows.
So what if you have a clone, so what if you can become invisible. The whistling rain of arrows fell, and the main body and the clone were pierced into hedgehogs.
After landing, the Juggernaut was not even qualified to fight to the death, and even the yellow light with strong healing power dimmed.
No matter how powerful the healing ability is, it cannot bring the dead back to life. That is the ability that belongs to resurrection alone.
Elwee fell next to the sword, touched his breath and said: "He should be dead. Do you want those two to continue chasing?"
At this time, Xu Lai He almost rushed in front of him, he reined in his horse and said:
"Forget it, these guys are not that easy to deal with. You don't feel safe chasing me alone."
A group of saints The knights kept rushing and fighting, and their physical strength was almost exhausted. Moreover, the speed of the Beast King and the Ax King was not slow at all, and they had disappeared on the vast grassland in the blink of an eye.
If he sets an ambush for Xu Lai and the others from behind, he will be the one who suffers.
"Gather the corpses and help me resurrect them."
Even if a knight died in battle, Xu Lai was not in a hurry. The root cause was his angel army.
Orcs have no ability to resurrect, and they will be gone if they die. But with this angel army on our side, we are not afraid of sacrifice at all.
Xu Lai immediately rushed over with his men, mainly because he was afraid that the three orc heroes would destroy the bodies of his own knights.
If the body is severely damaged, it is really dead.
Fortunately, they did not have this time. Xu Lai was watching eagerly from the side, and the Beast King and Ax King also used a lot of special moves.
The remaining methods are all used to save one's life or to fight desperately. Once Xu Lai gets stuck on him, he will really have to explain it here.
After all, the Beast King underestimated Xu Lai too much and rushed to support him with only his left and right hands.
And he habitually left Union behind, and ended up leaving a superhero from the stronghold behind in the grassland forever.
Of course, this cannot be the King of Monsters.
Sword Master Union has the magic-proof Blade Storm, the invincible Invincible Slash, the healing totem, the invisibility, the clone, and various potions, and he can run the fastest.
Union has gone through almost all kinds of dangerous places and escaped unscathed.
But this time, Union was greedy for power and rushed forward. Whether it was the Blade Storm that could avoid magic or the Invincible Slash that could make him temporarily invincible, they had already been used.
Although his healing skills are strong, he cannot recover immediately. His invisibility is restrained by the True Sight Gem. Neither his clones nor potions can help him avoid this bad luck.
Not long after, the resurrection ceremony held by Elvi and dozens of Seraphs ended, and Roland and a dozen other Holy Light Knights were pulled up again.
In this brief confrontation, both sides made several moves, but they also retained many methods.
In terms of results, of course Xu Lai made a lot of money.
Even if two archangels and a group of Holy Light Knights died, they could all be resurrected, which means there was no loss at all.
As for the stronghold, not only did they lose a high-level heroic sword master, but the most important flying legion also suffered heavy losses.
One-third of the golden eagles were lost, all the rocs were wiped out, half of the thunderbirds were lost, and more than half of the entire flying legion was lost. If the beast king hadn't personally come to take charge, morale would have collapsed long ago.
"I'm sorry Xu Lai, we have rushed here as fast as we can, but we still can't catch up."
Seeing Giselle appear alone, Xu Lai already understood what happened.
“Where are the other shooters?”
Giselle said quickly: “Don’t worry, I’ll let Yinyi continue to lead them over here. I’m fast on my feet, so I’ll come over first to take a look. It depends.”
After all, Giselle has equipment bonuses and a high agility value. Even Xu Lai's horse riding speed cannot match her. With only a short charge, she may be faster than her.
The key is that Giselle still has stamina potion on her body, but Xu Lai can only take the medicine himself and cannot give medicine to his mount.
With the Pegasus knight Yin Yi following him, Xu Lai can feel a little relieved. If these precious shooters are lost, it may not be a profit today.
After the Sword Master dies, his body will inevitably be cleaned.
The most conspicuous thing about this guy is the nearly 3-meter long sword.
This thing is actually called a sword among the orcs. This is the most incredible thing about Xu Lai.
Swords generally have two edges, but this broadsword only has an edge on one side, and the other side has a thick back for easy cutting.
Even the sword master, who is famous for his agility, is actually not low in strength. The orc race has a natural strength bonus.
[Fang Crazy Knife]: two-handed weapon, polearm, magic weapon, artifact, attack 92-162.
Special effect: Fang Blade, the attack is accompanied by 15% blood-sucking, and 15% of the damage caused to the living body will be used to restore itself.
The artifact effect, Furious Blade, will increase its own attack speed by 10% every time it successfully hits a target, with a maximum limit of 100%.
Xu Lai weighed the knife. It was not light. Putting it on the body that was on the earth before, it would be very difficult to lift it slightly by one corner with two hands. Of course, for Xu Lai now, except that the blade is a bit too long, the weight does not cause any trouble.
If Xu Lai wants to use this thing, it can only be placed on horseback and used as a riding weapon.
Otherwise, judging from this length, it would be very inconvenient to cast.
However, Xu Lai's long-handled weapon skills were basically developed with lances, and he had never tried machetes.
However, the attack power of this machete is really high, it also comes with 15% blood-sucking, and has the special effect of an artifact that makes it become more and more violent the more you hit it.
If you appear in a group of enemies with this thing on your back, relying on the violent special effects and blood-sucking special effects, plus Xu Lai's god-level offensive skills, it is impossible to be killed as long as your physical strength is not exhausted.
It's a pity that Xu Lai already has so many weapons that he can't find another place for this fanged sword.
But now that Xu Lai has more and more senior generals under his command, this kind of artifact-level equipment will eventually come in handy.
Even if no one can use it, it can still be put in the auction house and used as a grand finale.
Although Xu Lai has made a lot of money in the past few months, the expenses are not small in order to prepare food, grass, soldiers and horses for the stronghold.
In addition, he also has to settle the herdsmen who have withdrawn, distribute rations and grain to them, and give them land and houses.
These herdsmen on the grassland have encountered several wars in the past two years. If Xu Lai ignored them like Aini, at least half of them would die on the road.
Even if the Huitou Grassland is preserved, it will not have a large population and it will take several years for it to recover.
Apart from this conspicuous sword, the most valuable thing about Union is undoubtedly the space ring in his hand.
It’s just that this space ring is locked, and Xu Lai has to find someone to crack it before he can use it.
Other than that, Sword Master Union does not have any good equipment, and it is incomparable to Moriel, who is equipped with a divine weapon.
However, although his leather armor, animal boots, etc. are not artifacts, they are also high-level magic equipment with very practical attributes.
But Xu Lai also discovered one thing, that is, even though the few miscellaneous items on this guy were magic equipment that added attributes or skills, there was not a single treasure on his body.
"The thing about the orcs is that their heroes are divided into commanders and combat heroes.
Except for a few heroes, such as the Beast King, who will do both, the rest of the heroes develop in one direction.
< br>And the stronghold camp attaches great importance to personal bravery, so commander-in-chief heroes are relatively rare."
Xu Lai was very surprised, but Jilong was not surprised.
As a native of the grasslands, and fighting against the stronghold at this time, Jilong specially studied the relevant information about the stronghold.
He didn't say he knew all about these orcs at this time, but he could give answers to most of the questions.
Xu Lai touched his head, stared at the direction of the orcs' attack, and after pondering for a moment said:
"Let's go, except for this guy, take out the thunder falling from the sky. The bird carcasses were also picked up.
Nearly half of the pasture was lost. Food supply will be difficult for us in the future.
These thunderbirds are advanced creatures. It’s so much, it can’t be wasted.”
There weren't many of them who could move freely, so the Golden Eagle, Dapeng and the like simply gave up.
In addition, after a while, the recruited Thunderbirds dissipated directly in place, so the few people did not work for long.
More than an hour later, Silver Wing brought the Phantom Shooter troops to join them.
Although this force did not attack the flying legion at the stronghold, it did not expose its own strength.
As for Giselle, who finally arrived, the only witness was already a corpse, so she was not a threat.
Besides, even if Beastmaster and the others saw it at that time, one or two high-level shooters were nothing.
Even in a stronghold with relatively poor long-range combat capabilities, there are still some masters who are particularly good at throwing rocks and throwing axes.
“Let’s go home!”
After everything was packed, Xu Lai and the others walked as a team towards the new Stone Castle before night fell.
After all, the location where they are staying is not too far away from Pingfeng Mountain. If the orcs' vanguard moves faster, they can catch up before nightfall.
However, the so-called skilled people are bold. With the help of hundreds of phantom marksmen, all of whom are at least level 7, Xu Lai is fully capable of fighting a small battle, except for the lack of support from mages and priests.
And after more than an hour of rest, the Holy Light Knights have also recovered a lot of physical strength. If the stronghold really sends fast troops such as Wolf Riders to come closer, Xu Lai and the others will just wait and see.
In the past two months, Xu Lai, Elwe and the others have been wandering in the wild almost all the time.
Although they successfully blocked the grassland, they have less control over the rear.
Su Ya told him that the herdsmen who had been transferred from the rear had basically been resettled.
The various materials purchased are also being transported to the Stone Castle in a steady stream.
Leina also told Xu Lai that the construction of the new Stone Castle was very smooth. Thanks to the resources provided by major cities, the new Stone Castle was several times larger than before.
And in addition to the relatively smooth construction of the city, the construction of various military facilities has also been relatively smooth.
City walls, arrow towers, turrets, trebuchets, moats, etc., have all been successfully built.
It’s just that Xu Laidu only heard the report and has not seen it with his own eyes.
The most important thing was the production of poison. Apart from the slightly higher cost, there were no unexpected problems.
Because Xu Lai purchased a lot, the price of materials has increased a lot. In addition, orc slaves are more difficult to purchase, so the cost of these poisons is still relatively high.
The cattle and sheep prepared for the orcs are all in place.
As long as Xu Lai gives an order, all these cattle and sheep can be filled with poison and released to the designated location.
The only pity is that Lena did more experiments later.
This poison is only effective against orcs and beings with orc blood, such as orc warriors, wolf cavalry, ogres and half-orcs.
However, creatures such as Big-eared Monster, Behemoth, Thunderbird, and Cyclops, which are all stronghold creatures but have no connection with the orc bloodline, are invalid.
But people like Beamon and Cyclops, because of their rank, will have priority in enjoying this kind of fresh flesh and blood.
In other words, part of the poisonous cattle and sheep prepared by Xu Lai is likely to be wasted.
Fortunately, only the naturally grown Behemoths, One-eyed people are eligible to enjoy. The recruited warriors are not picky about food, and naturally they do not need to be specially fed.
On the way back, because they brought along the phantom shooters who were severely exhausted, Xu Lai and the others did not arrive near the Stone Castle until mid-month.
At this time, the Stone Castle was no longer called the Stone Castle. Rena named it Stone City. (End of this chapter)
