."! There will be a second update tonight. Although Xiaolong's health is bad and he is very uncomfortable.
But in the future, I will be able to type directly on the bed. The efficiency will definitely drop a bit, but at least I have more time. I will work hard to pay off the debt from tomorrow, and then I will give you more updates. As compensation for the unsatisfactory updates during this period, it is very inconvenient.
Sorry sorry
Two thousand archers, armed with arrows, blue pills, and a large number of fences and horses, in addition to killing half of the monsters on the eastern front before they successfully besieged the city, another more important task was actually to delay the monsters' advance.
pace
The same one hundred monsters give you twenty soldiers. One way of playing is to divide the opponent into ten waves, and ten monsters rush over each time. The other way of playing is to go all-in, with twenty soldiers directly facing one hundred.
Monster, which one would you rather choose?
Michael is willing to choose the first option, so he must find a way to prevent the three forces of enemy monsters from converging! Once they are successfully gathered outside the town, the players in the town will have to face the confluence of the three forces.
The tide of beasts is like a rolling wave of rage! No matter whether the player is strong enough to stop these monsters, psychologically, facing such endless enemies can easily cause psychological pressure on subordinates, causing them to make mistakes in judgment.
You know, although one or two small mistakes on the battlefield are not fatal, the accumulation of a large number of small mistakes is enough to completely subvert a battle that should be victorious!
Therefore, in addition to the 2,000 archer players on the eastern front who went out to meet the enemy, there were also 300 druids who followed the natural mystical route. In addition to effectively providing medical treatment and support to their own troops, they also
The more important thing is the final controlled retreat. Let’s not mention this for now.
The Eastern Front uses the products of the life profession, while the Southern Front is purely a collision of the combat profession! To be more precise, it is the stage for the mage profession to show off!
In the last failed experience, Michael truly saw what the "wisdom of wild monsters" is! Perhaps one or two wild monsters are not surprising when viewed separately, but if they are combined together, it may produce quite astonishing results.
"Mutation.!
Compared with the monsters on the eastern front that are centered around centaurs, the monsters on the southern front are centered on tree-type creatures!
Among the elves, the tree-man series of creatures, whether they take the path of tree spirits who are good at hand-to-hand combat, or the path of tree monsters who are good at combining combat tactics, all have one common characteristic, that is, they are big! And the higher the level of the monsters, the more advanced they are.
, the higher the level, the larger the natural volume!
The two monsters, Night Crow and Vampire Vine, are also quite distinctive, that is, they are born with the ability to climb trees! If you receive a mission related to these two monsters, instead of going to the forest clearing to find the target, the player might as well take advantage of the setting sun.
It is much easier to search for them on the treetops in dense forest areas! Because the habit of these two monsters is to hide on the treetops, use the trees as cover, and launch a surprise attack on the target!
After encountering the tree people, they will naturally form a "fusion" state. The blood-sucking vines and night-stalking crows will attach themselves to the tree people and wait until they are at a suitable distance before attacking the enemy! And before they separate, you
All attacks aimed at the nightcrows and vampire vines will be blocked by the treants.
In the last siege battle, Michael still knew nothing about this, so after seeing a group of tree-man monsters appear, he decisively mobilized a group of elf mages to set fire to the tree-man monsters!
It is conceivable that tree people are afraid of fire, and although the wave of player rebirth had begun at that time, it was still early. It was not like today, and everyone who jumped was reborn, but there were still quite a number of people.
The player was not reborn as soon as possible. Therefore, those who were recruited by Michael to defend the city were those
These are the first-level wizard-level people who have not been reborn. These people are all mages who have mastered intermediate spells. Although elf mages want to learn the academic skills of elemental proficiency, they must give up a certain academic level of natural secrets, but this
It still cannot prevent a considerable number of elf mage players from taking the elemental route.
Michael gave an order at that time, and the Treant troops were faced with killing skills and continuously depleting their skills. All kinds of spells flew over the heads of other creatures as if they were free, and in an instant they were submerged in the Treant cluster outside the town.
In the army.
It was expected that the tree man would be "flammable and easy to catch", but what really shocked people was what happened after the tree man caught fire!
After the fire expanded, the tree people made strange screams, but this was a sound that tree people would never make! Even if the tree people could speak, their voice was mainly deep and deep, and it was also very slow.
The above two sounds should not appear in the tree population under any circumstances!
Soon, everyone discovered the source of the sound!
Just in the blink of an eye, a small "dark cloud" appeared strangely above the tree army!
Because Michael mobilized very promptly after seeing that something was wrong, he attacked the tree troops very quickly, with a distance of more than ten or twenty meters in between, but this "dot" was actually enough for everyone's eyes to see everything clearly
.
Those were actually large groups of "night-crouching crows"! There were at least three to four hundred of them!
This "Ye Fu Crow" is not powerful at first, but it has a special skill, that is, it can explode a three-meter-diameter "dark space" dark cloud in the "Death Book Zhen Butt" experience center. Perhaps this is why it can
The final reason for being classified as a "dark creature."
Darkness has never been a problem for ghost players with dim vision and dungeon players with infrared vision, but for players from other camps, dark environments are more or less a big trouble, even if they are only weak
On light nights, long-range professions such as archers will also have a negative value in terms of hit points.
Therefore, although the strength of this Night-Fighting Crow is not strong, not many Elf players are willing to touch it when they are in groups. Firstly, it does not drop equipment or good materials, and secondly, it flies very fast.
, it is very easy to get close, and although the attack power is not strong, once it dies, it will block one's sight, which is indeed a very tricky thing, so a large number of Night Crows have always been like a plague that can make elf players stay away.
.
The levels of Night-Fighting Crows are all distributed in the Feifeng section, and unfortunately, the Night-Fighting Crows that spawn in the space around Michael Town are all below level 30. That’s right. For players, this
The lower the level of Night Crow, the more difficult it becomes!
Even if the gap between the Ten Thousand and Feng levels of Night Crow's attack power is not big, they have absolutely useless attack power and can only defeat their opponents by relying on their numbers. However, the lower the level, the shorter their health bars are.
, the faster you die, the faster the "little darkness" spreads! For a mage of level 50 or 60, comparing three to two
After using the powerful facial damage spell, the blood bar of the Night Crows was almost gone. As a result, a group of Night Crows died in the tree army, directly creating a large dark space there, and more were killed.
The Night Crow, who was injured but not dead by the flames, began to rush toward the nearby town under the cover of the dark space!
The situation at that time was already quite urgent. There were a lot of Night Crows. After they rushed into the town, the result would definitely be tragic. Even if he knew that these guys would be in big trouble, Michael would not
It's possible for everyone to endure the attacks of hundreds of night crows without caring about it. That's a complete joke.
As a result, clouds of darkness exploded one after another in the town, causing great inconvenience to the firepower pouring on the defenders!
With the obstruction of darkness, the tree man finally arrived in front of the town little by little. The tree man may not be able to directly cross the wall and enter the town, but the vampire vines clinging to the tree man can!
The blood-sucking vine quickly moved from the tree man to the wall, and crawled along the wall. After a while, it climbed up the wall that was not high. At this time, the players on the wall were still there.
I feel troubled by the large number of Night Crows, the dark areas that keep appearing, and the large number of siege troops outside the town!
The emergence of vampire vines can be said to have sounded the final elegy for the failure of that city defense battle, because although this thing does not cause high damage, it is extremely tough and can restrict the player's actions in a "binding" way! If there is no extremely high
As for the strength attribute, it is really not an easy thing to break away from their limitations. Naturally,
The large number of vampire vines caused the archers on the wall to mute their fire one by one, and soon lost their firepower to suppress the monsters outside the city. Finally, large groups of monsters rushed to the base of the wall and began to attack and smash the wall.
Until the wall finally broke down and the gate was lost, the blood-sucking vines on the wall were not completely removed.
But this time, Michael remembered his teachings. After learning that the combination of the Ten Tree Demons of the Night-stalking Crow and the Ten Dryads of the Vampire Vine had appeared on the southern line, he decisively ordered the mage assault that had been planned from the beginning.
When the troops are out, they must clear out all the vampire vines and night-sucking crows outside the town!
The level distribution of the two types of monsters, Night Crow and Vampire Vine, is not very high. In addition, they are not physical monsters, so the health bar will not be too thick, which is not considered for players above level 30 of the second level.
It is difficult to kill, so it is not difficult to eliminate them, but it is impossible to eliminate others, such as tree people, tree demons, etc. Thousands of troops are gathered together, and they are separated. They are all better than the players.
The level is high, no matter how hard you rush, you can rush over.
The eastern front is a monster force with the most impact capability, while the southern front has the slowest movement due to the presence of tree-type creatures in the core force. Therefore, the most critical part of this time difference strategy is to
Siege monsters are released in batches and eliminated one by one in a rhythmic manner to reduce the damage caused by engineering troops to walls and other areas.
The first thing Michael is going to deal with is the monster army on the Western Front. Compared with the monster armies on the other two lines, in fact, the troops on the Western Front are truly suitable for siege warfare. Among them,
The centaur safari, centaur conjurer, long-armed monkey, and kobold are all
It has the ability to attack from a distance and can shoot at the defending troops on the city. In addition, the forest bear has a very high strength attribute, so its attack on the gate is very effective. If the gate is besieged by a group of forest bears, that will also be the case.
It's very prone to accidents, and it's probably too late to repair it inside.
However, among these powerful monsters, the ones that really made Michael feel palpitated were the giant soldier ants that seemed "unqualified"!
Soldier ants are a kind of insect-like creature that exists in the real world. They are very cruel by nature, and the population is highly disciplined. They like to attack and plunder. They follow the principle of "eat the rice" towards all other creatures within the range of their activities.
Principles are rampant and taboos are rampant, and there are really not many natural enemies.
In comparison, the giant soldier ants that live in the game and are as big as an adult's fist can really be called "giant." However, compared with other tall monsters, they are still so small.
This was not enough. During the first defense of the city, when the troops from the Western Front rushed to the outskirts of the town after the Eastern Front, they did not attract enough attention from Michael.
Then, the characteristics of the soldier ants derived a terrifying effect that even Michael regretted and was speechless!
Due to the faster impact of the monsters on the eastern front, by the time the troops on the western front arrived, the defenders in the town had already been fighting the monsters running over from the eastern front for a while, and a considerable amount of monsters had already accumulated on the ground.
There are a lot of corpses, but because no one has opened the corpses and no one has collected materials, the refresh rate of these corpses has been greatly reduced, and they have been piled on the ground.
Originally, Michael was a little happy. After all, the more corpses piled up, which was also a hindrance to the monsters attacking the city. However, after he accidentally discovered the "properties" of the giant soldier ants, he couldn't wait to attack them immediately.
Slap yourself.
These soldier ants can actually "eat corpses and split"!
As long as it is not the corpse of the giant soldier ant itself, it seems that these terrifying insects can perform "eating" behavior on any corpse. Not only can they quickly recover the lost ribs, but they can also divide and reproduce after certain conditions are met!
In this way, when Michael discovered this situation, a large number of giant soldier ants had accumulated outside the city. At this time, the night crows and blood-sucking vines began to flood the town walls again, even though Michael knew that these soldier ants
It may become the most terrifying move in a while, but at this time, it is no longer possible to carry out large-scale killings, and as the defense battle continues, the bodies outside the town are still
Slowly increasing, this gave the soldier ants more "food" to continue to increase their number. Eventually, when the walls were destroyed and the doors were broken, the players in the town had to face tens of thousands.
Counting giant soldier ants, as well as a large number of other mixed creatures, there are only a few thousand players. Facing such a terrifying army, destruction is already an inevitable result.
But Michael didn't give up so easily. He kept everyone persisting. At that time, even though he knew that he had failed, he still wanted to collect more information!
For Michael, a failure is just a financial loss. If he has enough information, there will be no problem in the next challenge, so he is still telling everyone to persevere. In the end, he finally
Got the news he wanted to know, that is, the northern front will refresh a large number of air forces after a certain period of time!
Falcon, Night Owl, Pegasus Knight
But this time, Michael re-formulated the battle plan after mastering the information from all parties. In fact, as long as he has a detailed "strategy." After that, the city defense battle will not necessarily be too difficult, and there is no need to pull out thousands of people.
As a human-level city defense force, Michael did this just in case, fearing that the system would do something strange again.
It seems that the troops on the Western Front have ways to restrain themselves. As early as when the siege war notice was officially announced, Michael called a large number of trap thief players to dig at several must-pass places on the Western Front.
It's a trap. Ignore any nooses or anything like that. Just use the kind of trap that digs a ditch.
This kind of trap is indeed a big trouble for large creatures, but for insect-like creatures like giant soldier ants, it has little effect. They can climb out of the trap quickly!
Therefore, as long as we dig a few more "trenches" in front, only a large number of giant soldier ants will be left at the front. At this time, we only need to send a group of fire spells to eliminate a few without other corpses.
It only takes a matter of minutes to kill a hundred soldier ants. Once the wall of fire is released, basically there will be nothing left of these soldier ants.
Therefore, on the ever-changing battlefield, the value of information can be clearly seen here!
If you don't have the slightest understanding of the enemy, then even if you have the advantage of defending the city, a careless move such as the corpse-eating and splitting stunt of soldier ants may have consequences that are difficult to eliminate.
With the characteristics of the enemy, you may be able to resist the enemy very easily, and you may even be able to come up with more active ways to quickly eliminate the enemy! For example, this time, Michael went against the original defensive style of retreat and took the initiative to attack in batches, but
It's a clever move.
All of this, Liu Yifei, who was still hovering in mid-air, trying to find a suitable breakthrough point to break into the Mijiale defense center, had a clear view. Although he now owned a first-class city, he
But he has not experienced any territory upgrade war. In the future, Liu Yifei will face a direct second-level city upgrade war. If he does not have any experience, then what will happen in the future?
The result is also quite difficult. When I came here today, Liu Yifei found out that Michael really had a hand in this situation! He didn't actually have the conservative idea of "since we are fighting a city defense battle, we should just stay in the interior for defense." Instead, he thought of taking a proactive approach.
Attack, use offense instead of defense, especially after seeing the battle situation on the three routes later, Liu Yifei had to sigh: "This Michael, indeed, he still has some tricks."
