The sunshine in the wilderness is surprisingly good. It seems that because it is closer to the scorching earth where the devil is entrenched, the scorching heat of the midsummer season has begun to appear here.
It's just that the heat of the border fortress only lingers at the southern foothills of the Hyjal Mountains. When it reaches the mountainside, the gathering evil wind seems to form a circular wind belt, dividing the inside and outside into two worlds that are indistinguishable to the eye.
On one side, the sky is bright, the birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, and the fragrant smell of summer melons and fruits is floating in the air, making people feel tired and just want to lie down on the grass and laze for a while in this beautiful morning.
In the dark wind zone, the sunlight seems to be covered by a layer of glass. Although it is bright, it is no longer vivid. What is especially weird is that all the temperature is isolated, as if you are in a false illusion~
This is how Liu Yifei feels right now.
The sun shines on the entire battlefield, but it does not bring any warmth. Instead, it has a desolate smell. What is even more terrifying is the faint cry that echoes in the mountains...
It seems like the call of the deceased is more like the dark wind in the desolate land, with a flavor of despair, inducing all kinds of negative emotions to sprout in people's hearts.
Here, even if you don't do anything, just standing around bored, you may be put into an inexplicable debuff state. It is really a speechless place of death!
It’s just that Liu Qiang doesn’t care about it at this moment~
There are angels and saints in the team to help him. He is not worried about any negative emotions. Just integrating the angel mercenaries into the army can improve the morale of all the mercenaries in the team, not to mention Liu Yifei's group of mid-level angels and high-level saints.
It also has large-scale blessing and dispersion skills, but it is completely overqualified to deal with the outbreak of these negative effects.
But what really shines brightly in the field right now is neither angels nor saints, but the four thousand crossbowmen.
The biggest benefit that the arrival of these crossbowmen brings to Liu Yifei is the extra-standard ultra-long-range strike!
The covering attacks of the Corpse Witch and the Six-Armed Magar may be brutal, but the weakness in attack range cannot be easily compensated. In Liu Yifei's plan, the crossbowmen have greater strategic significance.
At this moment, four thousand crossbowmen have been blessed with a variety of light spells. What is strange is that these blessing effects are all about increasing the power of light magic and improving the fixed damage of light attacks, without the most basic "
Common blessing spells such as "Sharp Arrow", "Power of Light", "Blessing of Weapons", etc.
And the next moment, when all the crossbowmen began to twist their strings and load their arrows, a more holy light burst out, coming from the four thousand crossbows. From the four thousand strange arrows. With powerful
Arrows of light...
These arrows were obtained from Galen Temple, and they are excellent arrows that have not been circulated in the game so far!
Consumable items like arrows can actually be made to the Excellent level... Liu Yifei was completely speechless about the strength of the Holy Temple~ At that time, he almost fainted when he saw the effect of these Holy Judgment Arrows...
..For undead, demons, and dark monsters, this is a well-deserved team-killing weapon! Especially when it is in the hands of strong crossbowmen~
The sound of the machine strings twisting immediately disturbed the monsters in the stronghold. Under the leadership of a hero, a large-scale commotion soon occurred in the enemy stronghold. The dark acolyte began to desperately pile up various summons, and soon
The entire internal space of the stronghold was filled, and even more low-level summons had been spread around the stronghold, waiting for the opponent to hit them head-on~
But the next moment, the crossbowmen stood directly "outside the attack range" and took aim. Before the enemies in the stronghold could react, four thousand light arrows like meteors had completely torn apart the stalemate, and struck the stronghold fiercely.
Thousands of holy silver-white flowers bloomed in it!
Bright arrows are special arrows with powerful light power attached. The physical attack and strike effects of the arrows are not greatly enhanced, but after the arrow hits the target, a ball of Holy Judgment Lotus will erupt with a range of three meters.
!
And this skill itself is an advanced rare skill, a fixed-kill light spell.
Skills with fixed killing effects like this are usually not used by players with high mental attributes. However, they are very suitable for players to increase their lethality by stacking targeted academics and skill levels and adding additional statuses.
With the blessing of several targeted states on the crossbowmen, the power of these Holy Judgment Lotuses was increased by more than 30%, immediately igniting countless filthy fire balls in the stronghold occupied by the undead!
Liu Yifei was also insidious enough and knew that the elite and mid-level corpse witches in the opponent's team were the most troublesome, so the first attack in this round was on these carefully protected elite corpse witches. The lowest ones were high-level ordinary corpse witches.
Liu Yifei didn't want to waste such a precious and rare thing on a second-order six-armed mag, even if they were all high-grade...
The ultra-long attack range and powerful fixed killing skills allow the crossbowmen to break through the limitations and achieve amazing results in attacking fifth-level creatures!
More than half of the opponent's mid-level corpse witches were activated and instantly killed in the first round of contact. More than three times the number of guarding corpse witches around them were tragically implicated.
"kill!"
An angry snort came from the stronghold, and the next moment, countless middle and low-level summoned creatures rushed forward like a tide. The number was so great that even the earth trembled slightly, as if it was the effect of thousands of horses galloping.
Before the enemy's charging troops surrounded them, the crossbowmen seized the opportunity and fired again. This time they continued to use the arrows of the Holy Judgment to clear out the corpse witches who had been injured but not dead in the enemy group.
Although this one is just a group fire attack of two people, many corpse witches have lost most of their lives after being affected by the previous one. How can they withstand the enemy's concentrated fire attack?
Although it was only two rounds of volleys, some unlucky corpse witches were able to withstand the spell effects of the Holy Judgment Lotus four or five times. Even with the healing effects of the dark acolytes next to them, they could not withstand it. This damaged corpse witch was
There were too many, resulting in a large number of vacancies suddenly appearing on the opponent's city.
It's just that Liu Yifei is not in a hurry to expand his results even though he has already taken such a huge advantage.
Seeing the enemy's summoned troops rushing towards him like a tsunami, he directly commanded the army to turn around and leave~
If the crossbowmen only rely on their leg strength, even if they run to death, they will not be able to outrun the enemy undead group's pursuit.
Although the opponent cannot summon the third-level undead in a group, it is indeed no problem to pounce on one or two thousand strong crossbowmen and hold back more than half of the crossbowmen. Anyway, if you sacrifice yourself, the undead are definitely not afraid~
However, when all the crossbowmen turned over and sat on the backs of the waiting fighting griffins, an unexpected roar came from the enemy stronghold!
Yes~
Liu Yifei never thought of having a decisive battle with his opponent from the beginning!
Even if he was superior in strength and could definitely break open the dilapidated gate of the dilapidated stronghold, the consequences of being intensively bombarded by the opponent were definitely not what Liu Yifei wanted to experience. In comparison, he would rather use a safer method.
And this method starts with the opponent's main force...
Fixed damage ignores both the enemy and the enemy, and the opponent must be unprepared for the first wave of attacks. As a result, more than 80% of the opponent's high-level corpse witches were killed, and more than 40% of the ordinary army of tens of thousands of corpse witches were lost in an instant!
"Chase!!! Kill all those despicable people who claim to be the light!!!"
A roar that penetrated the clouds and cracked rocks came from the stronghold. Then it was useless no matter how loud it was.
The speed of the gryphon is not something that the undead can catch up with. Even if it carries a person, it will have a slight impact, but it is daytime after all, and the strong sunlight will have a slight impact on the undead, so the fighting griffons can still escape.
The most important thing is that the undead don't dare to pursue it alone.
If there are only a few thousand undead against four thousand strong crossbowmen, they will be able to fight if they get close to them, and they will be able to hold the enemy back if they are held to death.
But that's not possible when facing a griffin, not to mention that the opponent is also guarded by saints and angels. If the undead dares to pounce on it alone, it is simply seeking death~
Except for the undead, the rest of the skeletons and zombies are completely out of reach. Not to mention those flying in the sky, they can't catch up, and even the Bright Knight running on the ground cannot be caught up by them.
The undead that occasionally appear in the wild may slightly block the charging speed of the knights, but they will never be able to trap them beyond a certain limit. What's more important is that after a certain summoning time, all the summoned creatures will appear at almost the same time.
One piece disintegrated, and for a moment the skeletons disintegrated, the zombies fell down, and the undead shrieked and disappeared, as if everything just now was just an illusion!
But seeing that the opponent really disappeared, Liu Yifei immediately led his army back with a wicked smile...
Yes. This is Liu Yifei's plan. It's not too fancy, not too sinister and cunning, and it's not like he would rush head-on into the enemy and fight to the death.
War is about the mind. Liu Yifei happens to be familiar with the military data of the human and ghost families.
The mercenaries of the Corpse Witch type are strong in the face-killing effect of their talents and their late-stage field control and summoning abilities. Although the six-armed mag is relatively unfamiliar, they have already encountered it before, which is enough for Liu Yifei to test the bottom line of the opponent's strength.
, especially in terms of range.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Yifei asked Xue Lan to bring the crossbowmen directly to join him yesterday. If there is no advantage in range, then this battle will be miserable. You can only fight with the opponent, either with long-range firepower or close combat.
Anyway, no matter whether they win or lose in the end, the players will be hit hard, and it will have an impact on the advancement of the main body of the copy later.
The system has given great convenience to the undead. The entire Gesalan Mountain area has been set up as a "land of death". Even if there are no corpses everywhere, the undead units are allowed to summon low-level undead cannon fodder at will. At the same time, the opponent's summons have been adjusted.
The existence time of objects greatly extends the existence time of cannon fodder such as skeletons and zombies, which further strengthens the enemy legion's close combat ability...
However, Liu Yifei made a fuss about the range and equipment!
In this way, when the enemy realizes that they are too disadvantaged in long-range firepower, their only option is to break out with the entire army and pursue them. No matter how intelligent the enemy hero is, this is his only option.
In the final analysis, war is about "attacking with distance and fighting with speed." When a certain party cannot occupy the "far" nor the "quick", then he is "meat"! The meat on the opponent's chopping board
...
After repeating this for two rounds, although Liu Yifei's few arrows of the Holy Judgment of Light had been consumed, the enemy's corpse witch mercenaries were also killed, and even a large number of six-armed horses were severely damaged.
Grid zombies.
However, the smile on Liu Yifei's face became more and more prosperous...
"Hmph~ This is not a dungeon mode. I want to see how many mana your mercenaries have. If the system dares to set unlimited, I will sue you for being shameless!"
And the system is indeed not that shameless here.
In any case, this is a normal outside world, and unit refreshes must follow the rules of time, but Liu Yifei's killing speed is obviously faster, each advance and retreat takes less than a minute. The firepower of the four thousand crossbowmen is enough
Kill thousands of units instantly!
And when the target of the crossbowman's attack changes from the fifth-level corpse witch to the second-level six-armed mag, their attack power will not be seriously reduced, even if the six-armed mag's blood defense is reduced after becoming a zombie.
If it improves, it will only have a minor impact.
The battle progressed at a boring but astonishing pace, and after only seven rounds, although the Six-Armed Maga had not yet been completely destroyed, many dark acolytes had lost their magic~
In the fifth game, the enemy heroes seemed to have foreseen the dire situation, so that time the enemy did not summon undead cannon fodder with all their strength, but only dispatched less than 4,000 cannon fodder of various types. The intention was to drive away Liu Yifei and the others and then step up the return of the demons.
But this played into Liu Yifei's plan!
At that time, all the crossbowmen did not retreat even a step, and all the griffins on standby directly took off into the air, and launched a cluster dive attack in front of the array of crossbowmen!
Although Liu Yifei knew how powerful the "dive attack" of griffons was, he had never seen a group of griffins dive in groups!
This time he finally saw it, and he felt a little frightened!
He lined up the Knights of Light beside him, preparing to charge into the enemy's remaining troops at the last moment to finish them off. At the same time, the Saints were on guard at all times to prevent any crossbowmen from being attacked and killed instantly.
But when the griffins turned into falling thunder and pounced into the enemy group in a burst of roars...
In the swirling smoke and dust, Liu Yifei didn't see a single living thing come out of the red alive.
Skeletons and the like are basically dead in one hit. A small number of zombies can survive the dive attack. But they will definitely only have blood skin left. They will die if they are rubbed by a battle griffon~
The worst thing was the undead. A few spliced physical attack penetration effects avoided fatal blows, but they were eventually exposed to the saints' holy light attack range.
Although the saints are auxiliary and healers, bullying the undead is not something that comes easily?
Ever since, the holy white lights that lit up in twos and threes became the last traces of these guys, and quickly dissipated...
When the enemy had no choice but to gather an army of cannon fodder to launch the sixth charge, the crossbowmen took this opportunity to attack five times in a row, giving the enemies in the city a head-on blow!
Even after the opposing hero had no choice but to withdraw all the city defense troops into the stronghold, the free diffusion of the crossbowmen accidentally killed a small number of dark acolytes...
In short, no matter how hard the opponent struggled. Even the seventh time, even the opponent's hero, a spiritual-level dark acolyte, who was obviously transformed after the death of the former priest, jumped out with him and couldn't take advantage at all.
.
Because there were twelve spirit-level undead standing in front of him, he didn't dare to take a step at all~
Compared with his personal assault to break the enemy's defense mode and open up a superior battlefield, he is more likely to be killed by the enemy first...
So by the time Liu Yifei shamelessly circled back in the eighth episode, the enemy was determined to be empty demon...
The fifth-level corpse witches were focused on eliminating, and most of the six-armed mag zombies were wiped out. The dark acolytes were relatively intact, but they were collectively empty demons!
What a sad situation this is?
So much so that when it came to the end, Liu Yifei felt a little bored.
Under the protection of the twelve great spiritual thugs, the Angel Legion advanced first and killed the remaining Corpse Witches and Six-Armed Mages one by one.
The angels were in no hurry to attack the enemy heroes.
After the opponent's main long-range firepower failed, Liu Yifei allowed the Saints to step forward...
Although the crossbowmen attack fiercely and have a long range, the lack of arrow vectors carried by the supply brigade limits their effectiveness. There are still two strongholds waiting to be cleared, and the crossbowman Liu Yifei is reluctant to use them too much.
The saints are different~
Although these are only auxiliary nanny-type mercenaries, they can always use Holy Light. They are not strong. Ten people can kill the enemy at once, right?
A thousand saints...gathered together would be quite a firepower!
Then the most bizarre situation since the war began!
A thousand saints lined up neatly outside the city wall. The one in the row was so beautiful and arrogant that they diffused the Holy Light into the city from a distance across the city wall!
Liu Qiang doesn't care about whether he hits or wastes MP.
The good thing about a magic unit is that it can regenerate even if its mp is empty! The saint's ability to regenerate mana is slightly stronger than that of low-grade angels. What does he have to be afraid of?
And if the ten saints throw holy light at an area, they will make a profit once they hit it. Besides, there are people in the sky directing the general attack direction. How can they have a hit rate of three or four times out of ten~
The scene where a thousand auxiliary light nannies were chasing down more than four thousand dark nannies of the undead tribe was the only one that Liu Yifei had seen since the server was launched. It was really weird to a certain level. He simply took a leisurely video of the battlefield in the sky.
.I plan to take it back later and let Huang Quan take a look, so that one day the tragedy will end like this and I don’t know how to deal with it...
It turns out!
An army led by a hero is indeed more cunning!
Just like the previous Crypt Lord Zombies, these Dark Acolytes have secretly hidden MPs again!
But Liu Yifei's despicable method of boiling frogs in warm water really made him lose his temper, so he had to explode once and summon more than 20,000 cannon fodder to surround Liu Yifei's saints.
"Oh, it's the same old story. Do you think I'll be treated the same way a second time? I'm just waiting for you to summon me."
The fighting gryphon that had been waiting nearby immediately pounced on the saints, flapped its wings and flew away again. The enemy hero was furious and wanted to grab Liu Yifei, skin him and cramp him!
"Hey~
It’s a pity that we don’t have the ability to fight on horseback. It would be so cool if crossbowmen or fanatics with griffins could directly launch air strikes... No! That would be incredible!!!”
Thinking of this, Liu Yifei suddenly remembered that during the internal beta test, he actually heard from his mentor that the founding emperor of the Eagle Heart Empire was responsible for the invention of the second-level and third-level soldiers such as the "Eagle Crossbow and Eagle Cavalry".
The aerial long-range strike unit combined with griffins established the absolutely strong position of the Griffin Heart Empire and was able to establish the first human kingdom on the eastern plains where monsters were rampant.
To be able to create such achievements in the "era of chaos" shows the power of the "Eagle Crossbow Cavalry" and this kind of long-range airborne combat force!
Come to think of it~
If both "far" and "quick" are not occupied, then it is meat on someone else's chopping board. But when "far" and "quick" are both occupied...then it becomes the sharpest and most powerful "knife".
"Are you done?"
Moreover, as a low-level creature, the second-level unit has a huge base. Due to the value-added effect of the Griffin Training Center, the number of human griffons is particularly large, ranking first among the third-level units!
Such a combination of two combat units...
It’s no wonder that the Jiuxin Empire at that time was able to sweep across the world!
It's a pity that for some unknown reason, Liu Yifei remembered that the Eagle Crossbow Cavalry disappeared inexplicably with the death of the founding emperor. This was really a disappointing loss. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the human race to defeat the eight tribes of the Alliance.
What a difficult thing it is...
"What a ghost~
Where was the tomb of the founding emperor hidden by these prodigal sons? I remember it was not in the imperial capital mausoleum? When that guy was alive, his bones were probably all gone after Inheim died. I wonder if I can get any clues by asking him.
...
Well~
It would be great if we could find the key to this kind of combined arms..."
Liu Yifei silently muttered these "important things" and saw that the opponent's cannon fodder had no choice but to disintegrate once again when the summoning time limit came. This time he had nothing to fear, so he waved his hand and the whole army pounced!
The roar of war once again sounded in the ancient fortress. The earth was trembling, the city walls were shaking, and the dead were destined to sleep eternally in the coming sanctions. But the prelude of war had just begun...
