Once a battle begins, no matter how thorough the preparations are, various unexpected events will always happen.
Soon, Ai Lan discovered that his judgment of the situation was too optimistic.
Although the width of the passage opening can only accommodate five little monsters at the same time, the entire passage is more than two meters high.
There are too many little monsters. Although the ones in front are immobile, the ones behind are still pushing forward desperately.
After a while, these little monsters huddled together and rushed over while stepping on each other's heads.
The range of entangled roots is limited and cannot affect units further behind.
Over time, the entire passage will definitely be crowded with little monsters.
This is a situation he doesn't want to see no matter what.
But relying on the output of eight stone-throwing dwarves, it was simply impossible to suppress the impact of more than 3,000 little monsters.
The crossbow is so powerful that one arrow can kill an entire row.
However, the ballista needs one minute to cool down once it is fired, so Ai Lan tried his best to aim at the evil spirits to avoid wasting the output.
"This can't go on like this."
The current situation is obvious. Their output is not enough, and something will happen over time.
"We can only wait for Ren to recover."
Ai Lan pinned her hopes on Renne's talent as a slugger.
Heavy artillery: As a combination of orcs and elves, Renn possesses the terrifying power of orcs and the flexible hands of elves. He is a natural heavy artilleryman.
Strength +2, hit judgment +2, attack with splash damage.
After half an hour, Ai Lan asked herself whether she could hold on. There was a tree guard waiting for a replacement.
The Life Cane in your hand can more or less restore some blood.
It would be more comfortable if there was a medical tent at this time.
"Now I have a T and output, but I'm short of milk."
"When we go back to Ironwood Town, we have to make up for the milk supply in the team."
Just when the battle was extremely stalemate, a little monster king who was a whole circle bigger suddenly emerged from the passage ahead.
Eat the devil!
As soon as the little monster king appeared, the innate skill Devouring Demons was activated immediately. Ai Lan, Kaka and Ren, who were resting behind, suddenly felt as if some power had been sucked away from their bodies.
"Boss, it's not good."
"This monster is sucking our mana!"
"Mana?"
Ai Lan looked at his skills. Tactics were released through the war compass and did not require mana.
Life recovery is a skill that comes with the cane and does not require mana.
The Entangling Roots of the Treant is an innate skill and does not require mana to activate.
Mana is useless to him, just suck it.
On Ren's side, using artillery bombardment, arrow rain and ricochet arrows may require mana.
As for Kaka, his skills won’t be used here, right?
"Boss, boss, let me in quickly!"
Ai Lan was still thinking about whether to try to put Ren into the soldier card to rest for a while, when Kaka yelled from below the fortress.
Although he didn't know what he wanted to do, out of trust in his younger brother, he drove a stone-throwing dwarf away and let Kaka enter the fortress from the rear.
"It's such a waste to have all your mana absorbed. Boss, let me show you my trick."
As soon as Kaka entered the fortress, he took out a handful of seeds from his pocket and threw them all down the shooting hole.
The soybean-sized seeds quickly fell to the ground. Just when Ai Lan was confused, Kaka stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
"Grow fast!"
crackling
Countless black thorns as thick as arms suddenly shot out of the passage ahead, sweeping up all the monsters in the area.
In an instant, there were at least hundreds of little monsters and many evil spirits, scratched by thorns and covered in blood.
The extremely tough thorn strips firmly fixed them in place, unable to move at all.
"well done."
Kaka actually has this trick, Ai Lan is really surprised.
At this time, the passage near the abandoned gold mine was completely occupied by black thorns.
If the monsters want to rush over, they must first break through the obstacles of these thorns.
If you force it, it will be even better.
The sharp thorns of these thorns can easily scratch the skin of the little monsters, causing them to bleed profusely.
Even though the bleeding damage is inconspicuous, this battle was destined to be a protracted one from the beginning.
The lowest level unit, the little monster, probably wouldn't survive in the thorn bush for 30 seconds.
Ai Lan was still thinking, if there were no elite units on the opposite side, these purgatory monsters would rush in without thinking.
But he soon realized that he was overthinking.
Although there are no elite units on the opposite side, there are a large group of advanced soldiers.
The intelligence level of advanced arms is obviously one level higher than that of ordinary arms.
As soon as they discovered that they had suffered heavy losses by charging into the thorn bushes, the monster group immediately changed their tactics and began to find ways to destroy these thorn bushes.
"That's enough. By the time they finish tearing down the thorn bushes, Renn should be almost recovered from his weak state."
"Kaka, can I use this skill again?"
When Kaka heard this, his face immediately dropped, "Boss, if these thorns are destroyed, the seeds cannot be recovered."
"Do you know how expensive this handful of seeds is?"
"Don't ask me for money. If we can win this battle, it will be worth it no matter how much we spend."
The experience will be settled after the battle is over. If you win a wave of fat, you will have to run away hastily if you lose.
The gap between coming and going is too big.
There are more than three thousand little monsters, more than three hundred evil spirits, ten level 5 units and one elite.
By winning this battle, the three brothers will receive at least tens of thousands of gold coins, their level will be increased by one level on average, and they will have more than 3,000 contribution points.
If he could win by spending some money, Ai Lan would immediately invest all the money he had accumulated over the years.
"Kaka, how many more times can you use it to grow quickly?"
"Twice, it's not enough to use up the mana."
At this moment, the little monster king in the distance suddenly took another puff.
"Boss, there's only one time left."
The mana value is calculated based on the character's intelligence and knowledge attributes. Kaka has 16 points of intelligence, 0 points of knowledge, and 16 points of mana.
After being sucked twice by Demon Devourer and using Rapid Growth again, he now has 9 points of mana left.
"Just once, take out whatever you have in your pocket!"
Kaka had no choice but to take out the seed bag again and took out a handful of jet-black seeds.
"This is a rare breed, and there is no place to buy it."
"Go, Iron Vine." Kaka sprinkled these black seeds right below the tree man's fortress.
As soon as the seeds fell to the ground, they immediately grew rapidly under the influence of the skills.
Hundreds of black rope-like vines wrapped around the Treant Fortress, enveloping it and forming a steel-like outer wall.
Kaka took out his garden shears and worked on the shooting hole for a while, "It's done, boss."
"Yes, it is indeed a good thing."
"In the future, when we build our own city, every city wall can be planted with this kind of vine."
The battle has not yet been won, but Ai Lan has already begun to daydream about the better life after the city is built.
