The dark mammoth's footsteps were heavy, and it was indeed not moving very fast, even slower than the spearmen in the previous wave.
However, these dark mammoths were very tall and strong, about the same size as the Asian elephants in the zoo today. They had long trunks and curly tusks, and the tips of the curly tusks shone with a frightening cold light.
The dark mammoth was tall and strong, with heavy steps. Every time a step landed, it would create a huge shallow pit on the ground, causing the ground to tremble constantly, as if it had been affected by an earthquake.
Maybe the NPCs in Lingyun City also realized that this wave of monsters was not simple. The trebuchet that had been blasting against the wall of Black Blood Castle suddenly lowered the angle of the spring ejection, and the one placed this time was no longer a water tank.
Instead of large giant stone bullets, they were changed into shotguns about the size of pumpkins.
Ten of these shotshells can be stacked in the magazine of a trebuchet.
The next moment, another burst of machine springs sounded continuously, and thousands of stone bullets drew beautiful parabolas, and continued to hit the dark mammoth camp with howling sounds that cut through the air.
The stone bullets fell on the unlucky dark mammoths, causing huge damage numbers. Black blood spattered, and hundreds of dark mammoths were severely injured in an instant.
While these dark mammoths were not approaching, I immediately turned on the Internet function configured in the system and searched for information about the dark mammoths. As a result, I quickly found the information that Lin Juran had read.
Mammoths are creatures that have been extinct on the mainland for thousands of years. These dark mammoths are puppets resurrected by the evil undead magicians using mammoth fossils through great spiritualism. They have no independent consciousness of their own and are implanted in their brains.
He was immersed in the fire of the undead and was full of hatred for the humans, elves, dwarves and other races living on this continent.
…
Behind us, those NPC trebuchets were still roaring, continuously firing stone bombs at the dark mammoth camp. In less than five minutes, more than 10,000 stone bombs were fired continuously, making the dark mammoths howl in agony.
However, even though they were hit hard by trebuchets as soon as they left the city, those dark mammoths still continued to move forward despite the dense rain of stone bullets.
They are all undead creatures without autonomous consciousness. Even if their noses are broken directly by stone bullets, or even their legs are broken, they will probably not feel pain. As long as the undead magister who controls these dark mammoths does not issue an order to retreat, they will only know that
Advance, advance, then attack.
At this time, more and more dark mammoths gathered outside the city. Their vanguard troops stared at the intensive stone bomb attack and finally gradually approached our camp.
"Coming,"
When those dark mammoths finally approached, Lin Jieran held a sharp sword in his right hand and said loudly, feeling a little excited but also a little worried.
I immediately locked onto a dark mammoth in front of me and threw a reconnaissance spell at it to read the monster's attributes.
[Dark Mammoth] (dark gold level quasi-boss)
Qi and blood:850000
Attack:3850-4570
Defense:4000
Level:95
Skills: Crash, Pierce, Trample
…
This is only the sixth wave, and there are quasi-boss-level monsters. The undead lords in Black Blood Castle are too careless. Even if we want to play, we have to slowly play until the tenth wave.
With 850,000 blood, maximum attack power of 4,570, and defense of 4,000, with attributes like this and the hidden attribute bonus of a dark gold-level quasi-boss, this is definitely not something ordinary players can handle head-on, even people like me and Lin Jieran.
A top-notch player would not be able to say that he could deal with the repeated attacks of multiple dark mammoths at the same time.
As for the elite NPC Fire Blade Cavalry around me, to be honest, I don’t have enough confidence in them. The Fire Blade Cavalry Regiment claims to have 200,000 soldiers. Even if there are some exaggerations, it seems to be more than 100,000. Now it is responsible for protection. The trebuchets were only a small part of them, and most of the cavalry were resting outside the battlefield.
But after understanding the attributes of the dark mammoths, I still think that even if more than 100,000 fire blade cavalry can successfully defeat these dark mammoths, I am afraid they will have to pay a heavy price. If the death rate of the NPC legion is too high, the next battle will Who will be responsible for the seventh or even eighth wave of monsters, and who will be the main force in the final siege.
Players obviously don't have this ability.
The next moment, as the monster got closer and closer to us, there was a rumble of iron hooves behind us, and the large force of the Fire Blade Cavalry Regiment, which had been waiting outside the battlefield, finally decided to attack.
But as all the NPC cavalry were dispatched, I felt even more nervous. Just as I had worried before, if these NPC cavalry died too many, there would be no hope of seizing the city later.
Now, I must find a way as soon as possible to let the NPC legion reduce losses in the war.
Suddenly, I thought of the firearms we used when performing collective tasks of the guild. The Black Cavalry can equip a large number of these firearms, and I thought that the Fire Blade Cavalry Regiment should not be short of these items.
So I immediately urged the Blue Wolf King to rush in the opposite direction to Roy, the leader of the Flaming Blade Cavalry Regiment.
Through previous missions, I knew a deputy commander next to Roy, so at this critical moment, I suddenly rushed towards their command flag and was not ordered to be killed on the spot by Roy.
"Why did you come to me instead of fighting in front?" Roy seemed a little dissatisfied with my actions, and his tone of voice was not very good.
"Sir, I wonder if you have the kind of firearm that is buried in the ground and detonated," I said loudly, gesturing with my hands.
"Why are you asking this?"
"You have also seen that although this wave of monsters is not fast, they are tall, strong and powerful. If you charge directly with cavalry, you may suffer big losses. I wonder if you can use some firearms to disrupt their formation first and then charge," I didn't dare to make excuses in front of NPC commanders, so I always spoke in a suggestive tone.
"That's too unreliable. Now who are you asking to rush up with firearms? One of your adventurers?"
"Even if you have the courage, it is impossible to penetrate directly into the camp of the Dark Mammoth Army and only affect dozens of undead on the front line. I think it is better not to waste firearms," said the deputy commander who knew me well. .
I turned around and pointed at the rows of trebuchets on the battlefield, and asked: "Why do we have to rush up with firearms on our own? Can't we just use those trebuchets?"
Roy's eyes lit up: "Good idea,"
Then he changed the topic: "But the court mage who came from the palace to support us has not arrived yet, and none of my men can detonate those firearms."
I confidently said: "This is not a problem. Some of my adventurers are high-level mages. Let me arrange this matter."
I was worried about how to convince the NPC to leave the job of detonating Si Wen to the mages in our guild. I didn't expect that the NPCs didn't have any mages present at this time. Now there is definitely no one who can compete with us.
Players can directly detonate those mines and cause damage to monsters, and they will be rewarded for killing monsters. These dark mammoths are dark gold-level quasi-boss monsters. After killing them, they will have the opportunity to explode dark gold equipment, so they must not be wasted. .
"Then it's settled," Roy was not a troubled person.
The matter was settled in this way. Roy assigned a team on the spot to collect the firearms from the quartermaster in the rear. I also wanted to go with him to collect the magic documents needed to detonate the firearms.
Then he led a large force and immediately charged towards the Dark Mammoth Legion. After such a long delay, those Dark Mammoths had already reached the trebuchet array.
I was worried that the players in the guild could not bear their loneliness and rushed out early to fight to the death with those dark mammoths. Before my firearm could enter the battle, I was stabbed to death by those dark mammoths with their fangs, so I followed the NPC to collect Si Wen while in the guild. The channel loudly said: "Everyone, please pay attention. This wave of monsters is not something we can directly contend with. Therefore, no one is allowed to rush out to fight without my order. Otherwise, if they die, the family will take care of them."
"Leader Longhu, what is the family law?" Wan Xia asked.
"Um..." I was suddenly stopped by the question. Our Jianzhitianxia emphasizes humane management, and we didn't seem to have established any family laws before.
However, I can be the leader of the alliance with a sword that points the world. Apart from being unlucky in Glory, I also have certain abilities. This kind of problem will not trouble me.
"The family law is to drag them out together and molest them together for ten minutes," I made up a random family law.
"Wow, boss, you are so perverted," Wan Xia said aggrievedly.
The left hand immediately stepped forward and said to sister Wan Xia: "Don't worry, I will never let the boss enforce this kind of family law on you,"
Wan Xia: "Thank you, I'm just asking casually. I have never thought about violating the boss's order. If I want to violate it, you must violate it first."
The left hand replied shamelessly: "I hope the boss will enforce this family law on me and find a dozen beautiful players to come and molest me."
As a result, before I could say anything, Lin Jingran said first: "You have a beautiful idea. If you violate it, I will let you taste Zhou Bing's overwhelming power."
"Humph, you're afraid," what was rare was that Zhou Bing actually helped. It seemed that this girl was now submissive to Lin Jingran.
At this time, someone suddenly pointed out: "Boss Lonely, it seems that you have violated the rules."
Lin Jerran: "What did I violate?"
"Didn't Boss Longhu just say that no one is allowed to go out to kill monsters without his order, and everyone has to hide behind the NPC cavalry, but you..."
"Um, I..."
Lin Jingran was speechless for a moment, but then he immediately reacted and said angrily: "Asshole, what he said is that it is a violation if you disobey orders and be killed by monsters. Do you think these dark mammoths can kill me?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, Lonely Deputy Alliance, I didn't mean that,"
"Huh, if you know this, why don't you shut up now?"
…
Roy led a large force of the Burning Blade Cavalry to fight against the Dark Mammoth. The result was similar to what I had expected. The Burning Blade Cavalry suffered a heavy loss just after the confrontation with the Dark Mammoth.
After I received the magic document, I immediately urged the Blue Wolf King to return to my camp as quickly as possible.
