"Don't let the wood stop burning. What these sea monsters fear most is fresh water and light!"
Woody, who was in the middle of the crowd, said solemnly.
At this time, piles of wood brought from the restaurant's back kitchen were placed near the windows of the mansion, which could effectively prevent the sahuagin from approaching. Like wild beasts, they had the same aversion to flames and light, and would subconsciously reject anyone coming from them.
Enter this direction.
But this does not mean that it is safe to light bonfires at the entrances and exits of the entire house, because this will turn the sahuagin's rejection into a broken pot, and everything will return to the original starting point.
Therefore, Woody chose to deliberately set aside a location without a bonfire, and took the initiative to leave a breakthrough for the group of sahuagin, which would create a swarming effect.
And when the sahuagins one after another walked into the hall at the front entrance of the mansion specially reserved for them by walking with wet bodies and speaking in fishman language that they could not understand at all.
What they faced was no longer a scattered mass of manor guards, but an orderly resistance team.
"put!"
Woody picked the right moment, waiting for the number of sahuagin to break in and fight the frontline guards to reach 30, and when the hall was already packed to capacity, he issued an order.
The guard captain Sangbo drew the bowstring. As a professional ranger, "accurate shooting" was just his most basic specialty.
But this time, his target was not the group of shouting sahuagins, but the threshold that the group of sahuagins had just crossed.
It is coated with fire glue that can burn even if it rains. It is a thin layer, but it is enough to form a high-temperature fire curtain. Any creature that crosses the threshold will receive fire damage. If it stays nearby for a long time, it will still be damaged.
Produces dehydration.
This is the best solution for large groups of sahuagin.
Divide the battlefield!
The sahuagin who rushed in did not feel the separation of the brothers behind them at all. They only knew to kill all the humans in front of them and tear off their flesh in their shrill screams! They are those who believe in the great god of the ocean and hunting.
Best course of action.
"Continue! Phase 2! Light the torch!"
Woody gave the second order without hesitation. Under his instruction, almost everyone took a torch, and those without combat ability held it with both hands at the same time. Following his order, with the first
A torch lit up from the hall, and in less than twenty seconds, the entire hall was brightly lit.
"Shake!"
Woody continued to give orders. He wanted this bright light to be affected by the environmental judgment of this group of sahuagin who had never lived in the light for a long time. Even if it was not weakened as imagined, it was enough to make their combat power disappear out of thin air.
Subtract two to three percent.
What's more, these servants holding torches are originally useless foils to the war situation. The reason why they can affect the war situation is because as winter approaches, the winery's wood reserves are much larger than in previous seasons.
After all, burning a fireplace is the most practical choice for every nobleman to spend the cold winter, which leads to every nobleman to stock up on a large amount of wood once winter comes.
Sure enough, just as he thought, the swaying light caused the bright hall to begin to move light and dark, and the guards were completely unaffected. But he never expected to encounter such stubborn humans on land, this group of sahuagin.
It can be said to be difficult to describe.
Arrows pierced into the sahuagin's bodies like falling rain, and the sound of swords piercing flesh was heard more frequently in the manor than today.
Similarly, it is not impossible that some people were injured or even died when the sahuagin counterattacked, but the casualties have dropped a lot.
Woody was not idle either. After instructing Cromwell to listen for sounds from other directions to prevent the sahuagin from leaping over the wall and forcing their way into the mansion, he directly dragged the slender curved blade and broke into the house.
A real-time battlefield filled with blood and flesh.
As the "fish" in the fishing net, the group of sahuagin trapped in the hall fought extremely fiercely.
All of them were struggling fiercely like fish caught in the sea. The fish's eyes were red as they looked at the silhouettes of humans who were much shorter than them, roaring ferociously under the bright and dazzling light.
They may have foreshadowed their own death, and they began to fear that their bodies would lie like this on land without sea water.
But it still didn't affect its increasingly fierce offensive, and Woody knew it clearly.
This is the sahuagin's racial specialty "Bloody Rage". This specialty will cause them to fall into an eternal state of rage until the death of their opponent or themselves.
But this is all over!
Adding shadow protection to himself, Woody's body was hidden in the shadows behind the crowd, and he directly targeted the sahuagin closest to him.
When it became ferocious, bared its teeth and prepared to attack the humans in this direction again, it didn't realize that the original guard here had been replaced.
Therefore, what greeted it this time was no longer the left and right thrusts of the human holding the shield, but a sword light that was nearly vertical to its body and slashed vertically from top to bottom. The man in front of him was striking at an extremely fast speed.
As fast as a swordfish, he was already in front of it in a blink of an eye.
The sahuagin warrior, dominated by the rage, could only barely resist the attack with the bone fork in his hand, but what he got was a crisp snapping sound from the outer ear, and a heavy pressure like a tsunami hit it.
.
Everything about it seemed so insignificant and ridiculous in front of this sword.
It felt the sharp pain coming from its chest. Its chest was directly opened by the knife just now, and its internal organs flowed all over the floor with blood. It didn't even have time to open its eyes and see clearly before killing it.
Who is this human being? Another distance caused its body to fly completely upside down.
In front of Woody, a row of data appeared.
"Successfully hit the vital point!..."
"Causes 34 (+6) chopping damage to the target, causing a bleeding effect...causing the target to die!..."
"Successfully killed the sahuagin warrior!..."
"Get 30 experience points."
…
To be honest, this group of sahuagin warriors couldn't even sustain a blow in front of Woody who had extraordinary weapons. After all, their challenge level and personal level were placed there.
The only thing he needs to worry about is to pay attention to his position and not fall into the encirclement of the sahuagin. Otherwise, he will be attacked from all sides. Even if he reacts quickly, he will not be able to withstand their high frequency of attacks.
Woody very carefully kicked the sahuagin away who could no longer fight back, and then hid his body back among the escort team. The sofa and dozens of cabinets formed the simplest combat fortification, which also made
Many guards have a place that can be called safe in a sense.
Repeatedly, Woody cooperated with other manor guards, and because they wanted a quick victory, they paid a certain price and eliminated this group of thirty or so sahuagins.
But the bad news is that in fact, towards the end of the battle, the sound of breaking glass could be heard upstairs and throughout the mansion. Apparently other sahuagin had successfully invaded the manor mansion. The bonfire
They cannot be stopped for long.
Woody knew all this, so as soon as the battle ended, he split the remaining guards into two and started to ignite the remaining fuel in the corridor, letting the flames completely engulf the corridor, and then he went upstairs alone to clean up
Sahuagin climbing into the mansion.
The storm outside can effectively contain the burning fire, although the inside of the mansion is already like a steamer.
However, this is an extremely unavoidable approach. If the number of people was not too small, Woody would also like to have a head-to-head fight with these sahuagins, but he does not have such a choice.
Thinking, Woody hunched over slightly. The narrow corridor was not suitable for an overly long curved sword. He replaced it with an ordinary stainless steel long sword to avoid combat obstacles caused by environmental factors.
Soon he noticed the footsteps at the other end of the corridor based on the movement. However, he did not choose to approach, but waited patiently. When the familiar outline of a sahuagin appeared at the corner in front of him, he stepped on the corridor railing and made a direct move.
He turned around and slashed directly to the sahuagin's back.
Along with the sound of bones being chopped, the sound of a long sword penetrating flesh also rang in my ears.
Woody immediately retreated after a successful attack to prevent it from inertial tail lashing. The last time the coast was hit, it could be said that it was an unprepared sneak attack.
But this time, to be honest, every sahuagin who entered the mansion was very vigilant, and he had to guard against any situation where he might be injured.
Injury means a decrease in combat effectiveness, and a decrease in combat effectiveness will affect the combat situation. Before the situation becomes clear, he must seek stability in everything he does.
However, the sahuagin battle group on the opposite side was not stupid enough to let humans be slaughtered by them. The delay in the previous battle was due to the ignition of the fire, which caused the commander behind them to misjudge the situation, and they chose to enter from upstairs.
This is their remedy.
And even more terrifying events occurred when the flames met the sizzling sound of the cold sea water.
Woody heard the panicked screams below, and quickly passed over another fallen sahuagin corpse. Leaning against the railing, he saw the entrance to the hall.
A sahuagin made entirely of water appeared, about five meters tall. Every time it took a step, seawater would flow out, and at the same time it would extinguish the flames on the threshold. Its elemental properties made it appear as soon as it entered the hall.
Moving towards the burning corridors on both sides, he didn't react much to the people in the hall.
"The highest attribute is 20 points, the lowest attribute is 6 points, and the total attribute value is 70-80 points."
"Special expertise: elemental characteristics, whirlpool, water familiarity."
"Challenge Difficulty: c+."
…
There is a caster! This is a summoned elemental creature.
These two pieces of information popped up in Woody's mind instantly.
Apparently, just now, an elemental creature born from the icy rain and the magic of Sekola's sacrifice quietly took shape in the rain.
Woody frowned slightly.
When facing a mortal army, these water elements, who are not afraid of physical attacks, can be said to be in no man's land.
Regardless of whether the guard is an arrow or a sword, slashing at its body is like being struck by water, without any reaction. Moreover, when facing many enemies, it will turn its body into a whirlpool that sweeps everything.
The large water element in front of them can definitely make everything in the hall a mess, and the water element's ability to swallow fire will cause them to lose the flame barrier they rely on most now. By then, the sahuagins will surround them from all directions. The human battle group will not just let you surround you, but they will surround you.
The danger of offensive and defensive reversal!
Woody didn't care about the sahuagin upstairs. He went downstairs in three steps and rushed up. He must not let the water element overwhelm the already well-ordered formation. Now the time was less than five minutes. Minutes, if it collapses now, it will be difficult for everyone present to survive. This is not what Woody wants.
Therefore, when the curved long blade was unsheathed again, Woody directly held the curved sword with one hand, which gave him an infinite sense of familiarity, but he did not immediately slash at the water elemental that resembled a sahuagin. Instead, he first threw a sahuagin arm he picked up casually into the body of this large water elemental.
Because the movement of the water element is the same as that of all elemental creatures, relying on the elemental core, and the elemental core of the water element is a colorless and transparent prismatic stone.
If you want to determine the position, in addition to the common breath locking, a more convenient and easy-to-use method is the "vortex positioning method" that has been popular among players for a long time.
Since all water flows of the water element are selected around the core of the element, you can roughly determine where its core is based on the direction and amplitude of the flowing objects in its body. This is why Woody threw it into his arm. .
Plop.
Accompanied by the sound of falling into the water, after the bloody webbing of the sahuagin disappeared, it indeed began to flow through the five-meter-high elemental body according to strange rules. Woody observed for a moment and roughly divided the core possibilities. location.
After the determination was completed, the slender blade of the curved sword opened a beautiful arc in the flames and water flow, accompanied by the anger of the water element that was "extinguishing the fire".
Woody's expression remained unchanged as he watched the sahuagin features gradually dissolve in front of him, turning into a large water element in the form of a "whirlpool".
Draw the knife!
Cut again!
This time it did not miss, but hit an object harder than the water flow, the data showed.
"Successfully hit the vital point!..."
"Causes 6 (+2) magic damage to the target,...causing the target's elemental core to shatter!..."
"The target has been angered by you! Entering a state of anger..."
…
Woody, who had found the target of the water element, naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity. He rolled to avoid the involvement of the water element, and then slashed away with the curved sword in his right hand with an downward-facing attitude.
bump!
There was another muffled sound in the water.
Water elementals are actually more difficult to deal with than earth trolls.
Generally speaking, they are integrated with the sea. It is difficult to find their hidden traces in the vast ocean-like water. Moreover, when fighting in large areas of water, they can disappear behind the waves and appear unexpectedly in them. Behind the opponent, it is very difficult to deal with.
However, their weakness is that they move very slowly on land and suffer a -4 penalty on attack and damage rolls.
Therefore, on land, the water element found its weakness.
