Chapter 168: Candidates for the Battle: Quicksand Trap
Chapter 168 Candidates for the Battle Quicksand Trap
While chatting on the road, Levi quickly determined the list of people who would participate in the gladiatorial tournament next. The process was much simpler than he expected.
First came the Jade Halberdiers and Jade Spearmen led by Zhou Miyin, then the spearmen rewarded by the Dwarf Hills dungeon, and finally Donna.
Although Donna usually mainly uses bows and arrows, don't forget that she is an Amazon. She is also proficient in spears, and she is a heroic unit. Even if she does not use skills or pets, she can rely on the suppression of attributes and equipment, and most importantly
Combat intelligence is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary level 3 soldiers.
Cindy, the big lolita, was a little eager to try it out and wanted to join this activity that sounded very lively. Unfortunately, she just thought about it because she didn't know how to use a spear at all.
And once the use of magic and divine arts is restricted, most of her strength will be directly eliminated. Even if she reluctantly goes, she will probably be eliminated in a hurry.
However, after finishing the statistics, Li Weide realized that his previous thoughts may have been a bit too optimistic, because except for Donna and Zhou Miyin, the others were really unreliable.
You can tell by looking at the equipment. The Yuyongs are all covered in battle armor. Although their defense is strong, they are not flexible. Of course, they are extremely solid and reliable in defensive battles, but in this kind of large-scale melee, even in single combat,
Their weaknesses will be magnified countless times.
Almost all of the Spartans that just appeared were not wearing armor, and they were all very agile.
Levi even wanted to summon the Wolf Patrollers to see if they had any practical spears as weapons that were suitable for the kindred spirits he had summoned at this stage, so that they could help fight in a few battles.
Although you can't use magic or summons during the battle, it shouldn't be a violation of the rules if you send summoned creatures to join in, right?
It's just that the beast-like characteristics of the Gedin Clan are too obvious, and almost all of the Archons use long swords, so it was really hard to find a suitable partner for a while.
Just as he was thinking about it, the big Loli rode up to him: "Brother Levi, Uncle Simon has something to say."
"oh?"
Levi suddenly raised his eyebrows. Simon, this guy, has always had no sense of presence. It was because he injured his foot before and was guarding Cindy all day long, so he basically had no chance to show off. He looked like
It's like fishing all day long.
After his injury improved and Cindy had become stronger due to advancement and no longer needed him for protection, the average strength of his subordinates also increased rapidly.
A, a jade warrior with many skills such as resisting charges. Although he is a Son of Sigmar swordsman, his usual performance is really not that good.
So this time he came to see me rarely, what were his thoughts?
Is it possible that he, a swordsman, wants to challenge himself?
Thinking of this, Li Wei directly opened the opponent's attribute panel, and then he was slightly surprised to find that this guy was usually not showy, but he didn't know whether he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger or he was really lucky. His
The experience value has almost reached 90% before I know it. If we fight another two battles, we will most likely face advancement.
Although there is no big battle right now, there is also an opportunity right around the corner.
Sure enough, Simon quickly made his feelings known.
"Sir, I also want to sign up to participate in the gladiatorial competition, because I think I may be about to break through."
"You know how to use a gun?"
Simon said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Yes, sir, because I originally wanted to be promoted to the Knight of the Flame Sun, I deliberately learned some. However, because I accidentally became a swordsman of the Son of Sigmar, I gradually gave up my spear skills, so for the time being
I don’t have the spearmanship specialization skill, but if I work hard, I should be able to recall it.”
"It sounds like you want to go back to your old career now?"
"Yes, sir, I heard that all the men in the Spartan village are proficient in spear skills. I want to learn more here. If you agree, sir, I even want to advance to become a knight in the future!"
Levi raised his eyebrows: "Okay, since you have the courage, why would I not allow it?"
As he said that, he casually took out a green quality enchanted spear from the space ring and threw it directly to the opponent: "If you can really advance successfully, I will hand over all the Elion cavalry to your command!
"
Although with his current combat system, there are few opportunities for these cavalry to show their strength, Li Wei knows that as his army continues to expand and encounter more and more types of enemies, cavalry is also an indispensable component.
Originally, he was still considering whether to recruit an elite unit as their leader through Lotus channels. As the Red Brotherhood claims to be able to handle most things with money, this should not be a difficult problem.
But now if Simon has this ambition, then leave him the opportunity!
Simon was immediately overjoyed and thanked Li Wei repeatedly. As a recruited subordinate, he had basically sold himself to Li Wei. Unless he wanted to defect, he would need Li Wei's approval first for whatever he did.
He just wanted to advance to become a knight, but he didn't expect that such a big surprise would fall on his head!
Cindy next to her was also very happy when she saw this. Although her strength has surpassed Simon now, to her, he has always been the uncle who was very good to her. She also hopes that he can have a better future.
After thinking about it, Levi summoned the Wolf Patroller and Mastiff Archon, who were already familiar with him, and asked about the relevant situation.
It's not that he doesn't trust Donna and others, the main reason is that he wants to continue to improve the success rate. If his subordinates can take all the places in the finals at once, the faces of those Spartans will be particularly exciting, right?
The Wolf Patroller was overjoyed at first, because this kind of large-scale competition was exactly what he longed for, but when he heard that he had to use spear weapons to participate in the battle, his ears and tail suddenly drooped.
"This is a bit difficult. Most of us Gaidin Clan use natural minions to fight. Especially the natural weapons of high-level Gaidin Clan often have the characteristics of the good camp and can break many immunities. In contrast, using iron
I can be considered a heretic if I have claws."
"As for the remaining ethnic groups, they either use other weapons, or they have requirements for strength, camp, and even rewards, etc. Since time is a bit tight, I can only say give it a try, maybe you can get some antlers.
Get interested in this.”
Next to him, the mastiff-headed Akon, who never talked much but acted very steadily, also nodded: "Akons basically use swords. I can only give it a try, but I'm afraid there is little hope."
"It's okay. Thank you for your help. Even if you don't use a spear, if you can get the approval of other members of your clan, I will be very happy to sign a contract with them."
The two guys nodded and left with a small pile of gold coins and meat. Li Wei didn't take it seriously at all.
As he said, participating in the Gladiator Tournament is just a small thing at the moment, but if you can sign contracts with more Archon or Gaidin Celestial Clan, that will be a truly important event.
It didn't take long for them to follow the instructions of the intelligence and successfully reach a certain mountainous area. From a distance, they saw huge figures sitting or lying in the distance, almost completely motionless.
They look roughly human-shaped, but about half as tall. If they stand upright, they are generally about 3 meters tall. They look like small rock giants wearing armor, but in fact those armors are also part of themselves.
, they are just carved to look like that, they are the unique arms of the mechanical system - golems.
Almost all types of wood, stone, metal and even soil, etc., can be made into golems by mages. Based on their original materials, they may also have different strengths and abilities, and there are even some with almost medium to low immunity.
There is a level magic, the obsidian golem that can be called the nemesis of the magic system.
From the appearance, the group of golems in front of us should be advanced units of ordinary stone golems. There are about forty level 3 sandstone golems. Their mottled and rugged appearance seems to indicate that they are
It has lost its owner for a long time.
Three of them are even larger, generally over 5 meters tall, and have a relatively smooth appearance. They should be level 4 granite golems.
However, because the distance was far beyond the detection range of the ring Li Weixin obtained, he was unable to completely determine the other party's detailed information for the time being.
But it is probably because they are so powerful that they are still not killed by many God-chosen heroes even when there is obviously a problem. It is very likely that everyone who wants to have their ideas will be killed by them in a real sense.
It's become scum.
There is a series of special symbols uniformly painted on their left chests, which seem to indicate their place of origin and number, but they are obviously not in the language of humans or elves, and because of the distance, it is relatively blurry, so Li Wei
I can't tell the time either.
But that's not important. What's important is that Sam and the others soon found a small treasure chest under the feet of the granite golem, and presumably Levi's mission items were in it.
At the same time, Li Wei also took advantage of this gap to set up two Reaper ballistae, and asked several operators who were temporarily hired by him to debug the ballistae with the help of the old village chief's relationship.
Although they don't even have a class, it is said that they have gone to a nearby dwarf town for special training, so they can maximize the power of their crossbows.
He himself tore apart consumable magic scrolls one after another, and cast spells for the giant arrows of the ballistae, the arrows of the long-range troops, and the weapons of the melee troops such as Zhou Miyin.
The names of these magic scrolls are Destroy Golems. As the name suggests, it is a kind of weapon enchantment magic specifically targeted at golems and other similar constructs.
Because of its structure, the golem is naturally immune to most negative effects. Its defense and attack power are extremely powerful, and it also has the ability to reduce physical damage and magic damage. No matter what profession it is, it is a difficult enemy to deal with, especially
For the melee chopper team, it is an opponent they really don’t want to encounter.
Even if the opponent has obvious weaknesses, that is, slow movement speed and attack speed, and bludgeoning can ignore part of their defense, it is still difficult to deal with them.
Because the granite golems also have the ability to carry out long-range stone throwing attacks, they avoid the possibility of being kited to a certain extent.
As for the latter, apart from dwarves and ogres, there are still a few races or types of soldiers who use warhammers or maces as weapons that can cause bludgeoning damage to them. Currently, among Levi's team, only Cindy
Just yourself.
Let's not talk about whether Cindy can break through the defense with physical attacks alone. Levi is obviously reluctant to let the big Loli take risks.
But Li Wei came prepared this time. He spent a lot of money to buy two magic scrolls to restrain the stone golem from the old mage. For example, these scrolls that can defeat the golem can weaken it to a certain extent.
Their defense power is very long, and it lasts for a full 3 minutes. During this period, if you replace it with other enchanted arrows, you can cause a lot of damage to these golems.
After adjusting the ballista, Levi also summoned a large number of summons. Janet and the others also scouted the area to make sure that there were no other chosen heroes, demons or large groups of wandering monsters around.
Li Wei decided to attack to avoid a long night of dreams.
Under his command, the ballistae aimed directly at the outermost stone golem. Accompanied by the scream of the air being torn apart, two damage numbers exceeding hundreds of points popped up directly. The target stone golem
It shattered into rocks on the spot and was killed immediately. The power of the war machine was immediately revealed.
But within the next minute, there is no way to count on the ballistae. Their slow attack speed is always their biggest drawback.
At the same time, as if some chain reaction had been activated, the golems, which had been standing still like real boulders, got up from the ground one after another. Even though they were still more than three hundred meters away, Levi and the others seemed to still be there for a while.
You can feel slight vibrations on the ground.
Donna immediately frowned: "With this movement, I'm afraid they must weigh more than 2,000 kilograms."
This weight is much heavier than an ordinary giraffe or brown bear. Just think about it and you will know that their attacks will never be so easy to resist.
Levi nodded slightly: "It doesn't matter, we are fully prepared for this. We only need to temporarily hold back the strongest granite golems. Although there are many other sandstone golems, they are easier to deal with."
.”
As he spoke, he threw out a few khaki rays of light. The surface of the land where it landed hardly changed at all, but in fact, once an enemy stepped into it, they would immediately fall into a trap.
It was precisely for these enemies in front of him that he deliberately changed the priority of learning magic, abandoning the magic missiles he wanted to learn, and instead first solved the quicksand trap copied from the witch Tiva.
Although this magic is only level 1, after truly understanding and studying it, Levi realized that its effect is quite good.
Not only does it cost very little magic, but as the caster's intelligence and level increase, the area and depth of the quicksand trap will continue to increase. Moreover, the witch Tiva specifically emphasized to him that if he grows to a certain level,
You can even use one magic to create multiple quicksand traps at the same time.
With Li Wei's current strength, he can create at most two quicksand traps with a length, width and height of more than 1 meter at the same time and lasting more than a minute in one spell.
Although it seems inconspicuous, even if a level 3 sandstone golem falls into it, it will definitely not escape immediately.
Because even though it looks like quicksand on the surface, it is actually a trap made of magic!
