The Hand of Despair obviously did not expect that this was not a high-level illusion, but just a collection of illusions. It was just that the goblin changed the color to make it look like an illusion that was exposed under the effect of True Seeing. At the same time, he also used
Some low-level illusions are used to trigger the opponent's detection spells, making the warlocks and mages of Hand of Despair 'realize' that this is an illusion.
But the player of Hand of Despair never thought that the goblin just used a completely opaque illusion to cover up his own players below. He didn't care whether the other party could tell that it was an illusion. It would be better if he did, because no one would do it for
Attacking the illusion and wasting precious initiative actions——
The goblins also put the illusion and their own people in a staggered position. Even if the opponent attacks according to the "illusion position", most of the attacks will be absorbed by the air and will not fall on their own people.
Judgment on the battlefield itself is a split-second decision. Desperate Hands wanted to maintain the opportunity to strike first, but instead lost the opportunity to strike first. Goblins use this kind of thinking to lay traps, not because the opponent is too stupid, but because not every
Every commander is willing to be a gambler like him. But there is no doubt that the gamble of the disadvantaged side is worth it.
Of course, the commander of the Hand of Despair tried to do something to save the situation at the last moment, but it was too late. The illusion formed by the knight's charge enveloped the shining gold coins below, and other players rushed into the defense of the Hand of Despair.
, wrought iron, and wild stones took the lead in knocking off the human wall, knocking two or three Hands of Despair warriors holding tower shields and wearing black shirts back more than ten feet and rolling them to the ground.
Others wanted to come over and block the gap. But the dwarf held a heavy ax in one hand and shouted "For Omodin's beard!" and came out, and the cold ax whirled out and hit a warrior in the face, who
He screamed and fell on his back. Others swarmed up and tried to suppress this guy when he had no weapons in his hands, but the dwarf directly raised his shield and broke a bloody path, and the people around him staggered around.
Wild Stone followed closely behind, and with a sweep of his ax, a gust of wind blew down the desperate players, clearing a way for everyone. The shining gold coins broke through the gap and poured in, with the black-robed mage catching him behind.
Holding his deadwood-like black crystal staff, he raised his head and scanned the battlefield - his side had inserted itself like a wedge into the Hand of Despair's position, but the enemy was outnumbered and we should not fight for a long time - he noticed the chaotic battle line
There was an area that stood still, and I immediately guessed that the enemy commander should be nearby.
"Sofia." He called over his shoulder.
"Here!" The little girl knocked down an enemy with a sword, wiped the blood on her face with the back of her hand, ran over and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Palin?"
Xiao Fen raised his staff and pointed in the distance. There was a wooden sign saying 'Adams' Tobacco Shop' over there. "Did you see that over there? You and Vladis go kill the commander of the Hand of Despair."
——”
Sophia glanced over there and nodded vigorously. She immediately turned around and shouted: "Sister Vladis!" As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Fen saw a group of desperate players suddenly flying high.
It fell like rain dozens of feet away. Miss Honglong fought her way through the crowd and came here. She glanced at Xiao Fen with her golden-red eyes and asked: "What's the matter, Master?"
?”
"Sister Vladis, Brother Palin asked us to kill the commander of the Hand of Despair." The little girl rushed to answer.
"How much?" Miss Honglong asked.
"One hundred gold coins." Xiao Fen replied without hesitation.
"It's a deal." Vladis immediately showed a joyful expression. She licked her lips, grabbed the little girl's wrist and walked over there. Our little paladin princess was almost dazzled by money.
The little female dragon dragged her to the ground, and she shouted dizzily: "Ugh! Sister Fratis, your grip on my wrist hurts——!"
"Just be patient and you'll be fine."
"But my hand hurts."
Their voices were drowned in the sound of fighting, and desperate hands surrounded them. Miss Red Dragon could sweep away three or four people with one swing of her claws, but most of them fell without being fatally injured. Soon
She was able to get up again. However, the space swept away by Vladis provided room for the little girl's giant sword with both hands - the little paladin princess opened Divine Grace, and a pair of light feathers grew from her back, covering her whole body.
It was as if they were bathed in a river of light, their armor gleaming, and every time they swung the sword out, it brought out a pure white blade of light.
Blood and flesh flew out of the hand of despair. Players from the evil camp burned like pieces of wood under her sword. Those who fell down and died immediately turned into ashes. The white holy flames on the little girl's sword burned blazingly. Xiao Fen recognized
It turns out that this is neither the evil-destroying ability of the paladin nor the ability of the Erathizer knight.
However, the mage did not have time to think about what profession the little girl had advanced to. He saw that her sudden advance with Miss Red Dragon had obviously alerted the center of the Hand of Despair on the battlefield. The entire defense line changed, and a large group of players of the Hand of Despair
They all gathered around the little girl, their black shirts billowing like a black carpet sweeping from the street.
He immediately raised his staff, drew a fourth-level spell from his spell-like ability, and shouted: "Ice Storm——!" The eagle tattoo flashed for a moment, then dimmed; five bolts of lightning jumped out of the mage's five fingers.
, suddenly submerged into a layer of billowing dark clouds that suddenly appeared on Candlemaker Street, and then the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and everyone shivered.
"Area spell, find that mage!"
"Watch out for counterspells!"
Shouts came one after another from the hands of despair. Xiao Fen immediately felt the ripples of several detection spells passing through the entire battlefield. The system informed him of the names of these detection spells one by one. Most of them were detection magic.
One or two of the few are slightly more advanced. But the opponent can hardly lock his position because they can't break through Xiao Fen's avoidance detection at all.
What's more, with Xiao Fen's casting speed, the next spell will be fully formed in just a few seconds.
The mage flicked his fingers and sprinkled the water-mixed sand out. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the water vapor quickly formed ice crystals in mid-air - then the clouds rolled up, the wind howled, and the rain mixed with hail hit those desperate hands.
Many soldiers fell to the ground on the players who came up. Their companions tried to pull up the people who fell on the ground, but they also fell down. The chain reaction caused by this caused the desperate hands in that direction to fall.
During a pause.
Xiao Fen deliberately controlled the range of his spells to be about doubled (80 feet coverage), making it look like a super-magic expansion through spells. Nowadays, many people know that his spell range is five times different from ordinary people.
Therefore, the mage had to be careful. He did not want to be recognized by the people of the Hand of Despair yet.
Under the control of the spell, the warriors and rangers of the Hand of Despair suddenly became unable to move. They initially raised their shields and gathered together to try to pass through the area controlled by the ice storm at half speed, but suddenly a burst of cold breath seized them.
Their minds and catastrophic momentum took effect in an instant. Players whose level was lower than level five were immediately shocked and unable to move. Some of the more advanced characters were also directly affected by the ice storm due to -4 on all rolls.
He fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
The Hands of Despair became panicked, because they were informed that they were affected by the power of a high dragon, and many people immediately thought that there was an old dragon on the battlefield.
Some time ago, the Thornburg Guild collectively annihilated Poison Eyes but was destroyed one by one by Miss Black Dragon. The remaining power is still there, and Hand of Despair has heard more or less about related things, so now almost all the players in this area are talking about it.
The state of the dragon's color changed. Not to mention the old dragon, even an adult dragon can scare these people, and the morale of the Hand of Despair suddenly plummeted.
The Rangers of the Hands of Despair wearing black cloaks on the roof stood up and wanted to suppress the opponent's offensive from a high position and give the friendly forces a chance to breathe, but as soon as they stood up, several of them were shot down.
They immediately discovered that the elf lady was leading her own ranger team to occupy a favorable position. As soon as they showed up, they would suffer retaliatory attacks from the opponent.
At first, these Rangers of the Hand of Despair dared to fight back based on their numbers, but they soon discovered that the battle losses were disproportionate. Although the opponent also suffered some casualties, it was simply incomparable to the fact that every time they took action, one person on their side would inevitably withdraw from the battle sequence.
A small witch can make a big witch appear. These rangers are the core of the battlefield who have worked hard to cultivate by the Hands of Despair. Of course, they cannot die like this. The commander below immediately mobilized a group of tower shields to go up.
At first, this tactic worked, but just after a while, a bone dragon climbed up from nowhere and knocked down a corner of the house above the tobacco shop with one slap. Those rangers were attracted by the red beams of light in their eyes.
The behemoths were frightened half to death, and they all jumped down from the roof like birds and beasts. Those who jumped slower were either snatched back by the bone dragon, or pierced through the heart by Miss Skeleton, who was flying with a bucket on her waist.
The 'Dragon Knight' and her Bone Dragon cooperated seamlessly and quickly cleared a stronghold. At this time, the Hand of Despair players below were also in a situation of retreat.
"A bunch of rookies."
The dwarf cursed and tore off the battle ax from a corpse. There was already a mess around him. There were almost twenty hands of despair mixed with the corpses of players on his side, lying around in random directions. Except for himself,
There was almost no injury except for a gash on his shoulder blade that was bleeding, and a few white marks on the gryphon's feathers.
The chaos on the battlefield has weakened, and the situation has begun to become clearer. Only Griffith of the Shining Gold Coin was hit by an arrow and fell into a coma. However, this elemental tyrant did bring a lot of pressure to the opponent. She seemed to
There is an ability that can summon a large number of elemental creatures - of course, this is why it is targeted by the opponent's mage. After marking the location, it is quickly sniped by one of the opponent's Eagle Eyes.
Of course, that guy was immediately shot through the throat by Cole, but because the elf lady fell into a coma, a large number of fire and wind elements lost control and raged on the battlefield, causing a lot of trouble for both sides.
As for the friendly players, the losses were close to 1/4, which was far more than Xiao Fen expected. He did not expect these players to be so unbearable - or that the desperate counterattack of the Hand of Despair was so fierce. But this is not surprising. One side
Having experienced many wars, they have experienced the most brutal battles, and the most that one side can do is deal with goblins. The combat experience is indeed incomparable.
When he saw Ye Gucheng, the players also looked ashamed. Although they usually looked down on the cold-blooded hands of despair, at this time they had to admit that they were not as good as the opponent. If this battle did not have shining gold coins as the core of the attack,
They had no chance of winning at all. On the contrary, Uncle Hong's group of people were all brave and good at fighting. After Xiao Fen asked about it, he learned that none of these guys were rule-abiding masters. They had been fighting with the Hands of Despair in the city all year round.
, even though he suffered a loss, he also figured out the other party’s ins and outs.
The hands of despair were retreating, no longer as orderly as before. Like ants, they fled along the two alleys towards the inner city. Xiao Fen looked towards the 'Adams' Tobacco Shop', the little girl
The battle is not over yet. They encounter a difficult enemy-Sir Manos, the deputy captain of Thornburg Town Guard.
This gentleman is a level 14 warrior NPC. Although he is selfless, he seems a bit rigid. His swordsmanship is just like him, and every move is quite satisfactory. But even so, the little girl, Miss Red Dragon Vladis
, the Bone Dragon and Baroness Nunnally attacked together but could not shake the gentleman's defense in the slightest.
He also had more than a dozen subordinates, who were surrounded by players together with a group of Hands of Despair. Among them was the commander of the Hands of Despair. Xiao Fen recognized him as an assassin player at a glance.
The commander of the Hand of Despair did not take action, but crawled around in the battle to avoid attacks from other directions, but kept his eyes fixed on the little paladin princess. "Deadly attack?" Xiao Fen was stunned.
As the most popular profession for players - Assassin, the Mage certainly knows every detail of this profession. Fatal attack is one of the Assassin's signature abilities. It means that if the Assassin observes the opponent for three rounds before launching a sneak attack with a melee weapon, and causing damage
, then the sneak attack can also paralyze or kill the opponent (the assassin chooses one). Of course, the little girl's immunity as a paladin is astonishingly high, but she is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Xiao Fen was just about to remind him, but this
At that moment, the commander with desperate hands finally waited for the opportunity to take action.
The little girl passed by his side and swung her sword at Sir Manos in front of him. The commander of the Hand of Despair seized this opportunity and quietly stabbed out his sharp dagger, but unexpectedly the little girl suddenly returned the sword.
As soon as he blocked it, there was a crisp sound, and a spark splashed to the ground. Sophia turned back and looked at this person coldly - obviously she had been on guard for a long time, and the previous blow just made the assassin take action earlier.
The assassin commander of the Hand of Despair was surprised. Most of the paladin players he had dealt with liked to be direct, and their personalities were upright but rigid. However, he did not expect this young lady to be so alert. Of course, he did not know that Xiao
The girl was like this in the past, but after being baptized by countless adventures and battles, she is now a mature warrior. Although the blood is still surging in her chest, she already understands how to achieve her goal.
This Mr. Assassin obviously didn’t understand what it meant to be distracted on the battlefield, but this mistake immediately cost him a heavy price. The paladin lady would not give him time to react, and directly cut off one of his arms with a sword, leaving him behind.
The victim screamed and retreated.
The little girl seized the opportunity and pursued her, but Sir Manos blocked her with one man and one sword.
"Why are you helping him, Mr. Manos? I can see that you are also a paladin!" The little girl's eyes seemed to burst out with fire. She stared at him closely. Even Xiao Fen had never seen her look like this.
When angry: "These hands of despair are a group of callous people who can disregard the happiness and peace of others for their own selfish desires!"
"Just like you, this is my duty." Manos blocked the little girl's holy sword with his sword.
"Your duty is to protect others and uphold justice!" The little girl's momentum was high. She stretched out her hand forward, and white-gold flames appeared all over her body: "Dispel the evil——!"
A dazzling white light burst out from her body.
