After two rounds of shooting, the attackers used crossbows and hard bows to concentrate on counting the three-page windows on this side of the avenue. The attacking side took advantage of the cover of the woods to scatter while advancing forward. The elves were almost suppressed and could not lift their heads. From time to time, there were waves coming from the direction of the woods.
After giving out a command that sounded like one after another, the rangers in the forest could gather and disperse in an orderly manner, retreat or attack according to the command. Many figures were staggering forward, but the elves were never able to form an effective blow to the enemy.
Trouble! The mage raised his head and took a glance. Two sharp arrows whizzed past his scalp. When he retracted, he came to the conclusion: professional mercenaries, which is also used to describe veteran players who have been on the battlefield.
, and they are the guys who can survive - that is, the elite!
He turned away and exchanged glances with the frog prince behind the table.
"Forty of them from the front, captain!" the goblin reminded in a low voice. The little green-skinned man's face almost wrinkled up: "There are also a few cloaks with black backgrounds and blood-striped edges. They are black knights - I can't see them.
They're on that level, but it's terrible!"
"Meng's success in the Southern Alliance has aroused the vigilance of the Hands of Despair. It seems that these people are determined to get rid of her." A thought flashed through Xiao Fen's mind: "I just don't know if I am also here.
On the list.”
The attackers approached the owl and the grove all the way. They fired three more rows of arrows along the way and quickly tightened the encirclement. Within a minute or two, there was only one road separating the two sides. At this time, the sky began to darken again, and the clouds continued.
It droops downward. I'm afraid there will be another heavy rain.
"Hold it, free fire!"
"Team 2, Team 3, attack!"
"Team Four, Team Five, Reserve——"
A loud command came from outside. The attackers then changed their tactics. More than a dozen soldiers lined up in a dense fan shape and launched a charge towards the Owl and Grove Hotel along both sides of the road. The black shirts were placed next to each other.
One by one, they occasionally crowded together and moved forward, like a wave of black tide, overflowing through the woods and sweeping toward the Owl and the Grove Inn.
Naturally, the elves couldn't let the attackers get what they wanted. They shouted each other's names loudly, then stood up from under the window and exchanged a round of attacks with the enemy...
The elves living in the forests near Lanlos, these darlings of nature, have an innate talent for archery. And their people, no matter what profession they are in, can skillfully use longbows - everyone knows that
.This is a racial specialty of elves.
However, the opponents are not inferior. Those are players who have survived desperate meat-cutting battles - most of them have the identity of a ranger, but they can also be the best longbowmen, and have a good knowledge of sniping.
Deep understanding; however, the fear of these people is far from that. They have rich experience and always understand how to give themselves an advantage in attacking points on a battlefield.
After three rounds of shooting, two of the elves by the window fell into a pool of blood. The attackers who surrounded them dropped a body on the way, and the other two people were temporarily separated from the battle sequence due to serious injuries.
This result cannot be said to be brilliant. The elves could have done better, but the other side's rangers were equally good. After both sides tested it, they each understood the other's difficulties.
Several elves rushed over from the kitchen, dragging their injured companions back in pairs, while a few others stayed to participate in the fight back against the attackers - there were a total of seven elves near the three-page window at this moment, each holding a long bow.
, prepared two pots of arrows; and a long sword with cold light at hand, ready for command at any time——
The fourth round. Two more attackers lay down wailing, and a few others rolled on the ground and hid behind the carriage - the horses of this carriage died under the rain of arrows at the beginning, and they are now
It was parked there, riddled with holes, and its original shape could hardly be seen. It provided shelter to Xiao Fen and others at first, but now it is being used as cover by their enemies.
A sharp arrow opened Xiao Fen's hood with a sharp sound, and pulled it over and nailed it to the wooden board behind. But the mage seemed not to see it. He calmly peeled off the scroll and unleashed the final blow on an elf swordsman next to him.
A arrow-preparing technique.
Then he reached behind his head and twisted off the long arrow. He cursed softly.
"Aren't you afraid?" The female elf swordsman exclaimed in surprise.
"No," the mage wiped a handful from his pale forehead, his palms covered in cold sweat: "I just didn't react."
The goblin took action. He used his Shadow Sculpture to create a fireball. With just one fingertip, he blew the carriage up into the sky... and the few soldiers behind were all in bad luck, ranging from burns to death on the spot.
Not only that, this move caused the attackers behind to hesitate for a moment. The elves took advantage of the opportunity and knocked down several more.
"Hahaha!" The Frog Prince was so proud that he leaned half out from behind the table and laughed loudly: "You are vulnerable, even professional mercenaries are no more than that!"
But he only had time to be proud for a moment, and there was a flash of green light in the forest - almost everyone heard a long-lasting vibration of a bowstring; the goblin's laughter suddenly stopped, as if being pushed backwards to the ground by a huge force,
It rolled around like a wooden pile several times, and finally stopped in a large pool of blood...
"Ah——!" Shuixun screamed and immediately rushed over, throwing healing spells at the goblin desperately.
"This idiot!" Xiao Fen cursed secretly, this guy was just looking for death.
At this moment, another command came from the woods, and the black-armored warriors outside followed and dispersed, forming a beautiful skirmish line.
"Team Four, Team Five. Press on!"
"Team 7, Team 8, follow us too!"
The planner on the opposite side seemed to have gotten the news that the spell caster here had left the battle order, so he seized the opportunity and immediately pressed up the reserve team.
"There are far more than forty!" Xiao Fen frowned. It would be very troublesome if this group of players were to press forward. These are all quite experienced players. Even if he were to take action, he would only have one or two spells at most.
That's just half of them killed. And then, I'm afraid our mages will have to face the threat of a group of elite snipers!
"Sir..." Lindis hid on the other side of the window. She looked at the wizard with emerald eyes, and then looked outside worriedly.
Xiao Fen shook his head and said that he could not take action. He knew what he was waiting for. He had experienced too many encounters and he could understand what those people's back-up plans were with just one move.
First contact.
The soldiers of the Hand of Despair began to increase in the final stage, trying to use the momentum to climb directly through the window. But the elves were calmer, took a step back, and directly opened their bows to kill several attackers with random arrows... Then they dropped their long swords in unison.
Bow, they all shouted. They drew out their gleaming long swords and faced them.
Death and injury occurred in an instant. Elf female swordsmen have always been agile warriors. They can cleverly avoid the attacker's clumsy attacks, and then use their stabbing swords to bite the opponent's waist and ribs like a poisonous snake. That's exactly what happened.
, they could easily thrust the stabbing sword into the opponent's waist or between the ribs - but the player of Hand of Despair didn't seem to care at all, and swiped the steel sword with his backhand, leaving a deep gash on the elf's body.
As soon as they came into contact, both sides suffered a loss, and even lost two to three people each. On the surface, it seemed to be even, but Xiao Fen understood that the current situation was expected by one party and was expected by the other party.
One party was unexpected.
Therefore, it can be said that they failed in the first contact.
Lindis also saw this, so the young lady snorted in dissatisfaction, and directly led the three female elf swordsmen around her to kill her. As soon as she joined the battle group, the mage soon discovered that she had another
I misjudged this lady once. She is not only a nice person who is easy to talk to, but now it seems that she is also a very powerful nice person.
Most of the female elves under Lin were wandering swordsmen, so Xiao Fen also took it for granted that this lady was the same. But he found that this was a wrong understanding, because the pony-tailed female swordsman put on her green leather armor before joining the battle group.
He pulled it off and threw it aside, revealing a dark brown tights underneath.
After completing this series of actions, Lin began her personal performance. Her speed seemed to be several times faster all of a sudden. After a series of dazzling afterimages, several Hands of Despair players around this lady were directly eliminated.
Increased combat effectiveness——
"Warrior monk?" The mage narrowed his eyes: "It doesn't look like that..."
At this moment, the second wave of attacks arrived at the hotel. The leader was a black knight. When he jumped through the window, the mage happened to see the silver badge under his cloak...
"Knight of Thorns," Xiao Fen discerned the meaning of this badge. This was just the lowest level among the black knights. It seemed that only players participated in this attack.
The Holy Wings stopped the black knight, and several more elven swordsmen rushed out from the kitchen. Now the number of both sides in the hotel hall was almost equal, and the elves seemed to be at a disadvantage; but Xiao Fen still did not take action.
He once again used invisibility to cover his whereabouts, and then quietly came to a window.
The third group of Hand of Despair players gathered around. Xiao Fen frowned. He noticed that there were more than twenty people in this group. The mage hesitated for a moment and moved his fingers, but finally looked at the forest.
He glanced aside but did not make a move.
But it was at this time that he, who was standing by the window, heard noises coming from upstairs. The mage was startled for a moment before he realized that this was the sound of opening a window. Then, he saw the third group of players surrounding him lifting their heads.
At first, there was an obvious expression of fear on his face.
A harsh sound broke through the sky——
Xiao Fen bared his teeth. Almost all of the more than twenty players were nailed to the ground at this moment. Seeing the colorful magic arrows on the corpses, he could imagine what kind of terrifying equipment the players ambushing upstairs had...
…
"We all have backup plans..." He breathed a sigh of relief and began to monitor the movement on the other side of the woods intently.
But at this time, the goblin who had just been rescued from the water suddenly screamed in the hall: "Oh my God, ah, I'm going to die - Captain, retreat!"
Xiao Fen subconsciously turned his head in that direction, but just this moment of distraction suddenly gave him a chilling feeling.
Warning from the Soul of Control!
The mage suddenly stopped what he was doing, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head sharply - but it was still a little too late. Outside the window, a red light flashed in the woods in that direction, followed by a loud noise, and the owl and the grove hotel seemed to be blown away.
A meteorite hit from the front; the whole hall trembled, and a hole seemed to be opened in one of the ground walls. Thick smoke, flashes and flames suddenly swept around, like a huge shock wave, and all kinds of small objects
It was even swept into the air by the strong air current, flying around...
Then the second time, the third time, time seemed to be extended infinitely in an instant, and it seemed that a long distance like eternity had passed before crying, moaning and panicked shouts returned to my ears...
The mage's face was even cut open by flying stone chips, but he didn't care so much. Because the scorching heat that hit his face almost steamed the air, and the entire hall seemed spacious and bright one moment, but was already covered in darkness the next moment.
Filled with paint and messy smoke, there were overturned tables and chairs, broken utensils, panicked wounded, and even one or two burnt human bodies everywhere.
Xiao Fen got up from the floor and coughed twice - to be honest, this level of magic couldn't even cause him trouble. But he was very upset. He didn't expect to ask the goblin to distract him at the last moment.
A moment.
"Goblin, are you damn guy still alive?" He roared angrily into the smoke while fumbled to pick up his black crystal staff.
"These bastards! The water halo is suppressed!" The goblin screamed in frustration over there: "Tell them to go to hell!"
Xiao Fen took a deep breath and finally forced himself to suppress the urge to rush over and slap this guy.
"Sir...?" At this moment, a disgraced Lin ran out of the smoke. She looked at the depressed mage in front of her in surprise. She didn't understand why he suddenly looked angry.
"Get ready...get out of the back door!" Xiao Fen said immediately as soon as he saw her.
"Eh?" Lin blinked in confusion.
"I'll deal with the mage outside, you take the people out first - do you understand?" the mage repeated one word at a time.
"Why?"
"We can't hold it anymore. Have you seen the three holes in the wall... Our geographical advantage is gone!" Xiao Fen sighed in annoyance. He would never say that it was because of his negligence.
The other party took the initiative, which led to the current passive situation.
"Oh." Lin looked aggrieved, but still nodded involuntarily.
"Hey, but is that true?" But then she reacted.
"Don't you understand yet?"
"But, I...I..." Lin frowned in embarrassment: "I have to ask the eldest lady for instructions!"
"Then go quickly!" The mage nodded.
"Oh..." The ponytail female swordsman responded vaguely without any opinion. She felt that after spending a while with this inexplicable mage, it seemed that she had become his subordinate. This is wrong.
!That’s not right! Lin said loudly to herself in her heart.
