Chapter 012 The most unfortunate lack of strength in the battle
The warning from the companion is only one step faster than the enemy's sneak attack~
When Cupid launched her ultimate move, her subsequent body movements were all instinctive, and her superb and proficient shooting skills only allowed her to shoot two extra arrows. Then the enemy's long-planned attack was overwhelming.
come over--
Under the hazy gray light, the bone-condensed [Bone Teeth] were like a torrential downpour. Even the backs of the two zombies that were hit did not stop crackling. The lethality may not be great, but it sealed Cupid's body to the greatest extent.
Subsequent dodge space.
The next moment, the bone arrows and magic arrows kneaded by the magic attack almost in no particular order. The bone arrows pierced Cupid's armor-less abdomen with almost no hindrance, and then the magic arrows opened a puncture hole in the opponent's left shoulder...
…
At this point, Cupid also realized that he was hopeless - regardless of whether there was a powerful spell in the game world of "Heroes: World of War" that could reconnect limbs and repair them perfectly at a thought. Even if there was, it was not at the moment.
Either you or Captain Liu Yifei can get it.
Besides, if there is such a method of living dead human flesh and white bones, Cupid himself feels that it is not worth spending money on him~
But is this what happened to him?
One mistake and total failure?
No, Cupid would never accept it in his heart...
The violent surge of blood foam in his throat gave Cupid an unprecedented terrifying experience. To be honest, if this kind of physical sensation were to be put into reality, Cupid would have panicked long ago. But in the game, there is a foreshadowing of past experiences... The key point is that
At this moment, the exclamation from his captain exploded like thunder in the distance...
For the first time, the tenacity in Cupid's heart exploded like never before, and he actually suppressed the fear of the near-death experience a little, and managed to survive the pursuit of two zombies with his disabled limbs - thanks to the enemy's indiscriminate attack just now.
, also caused the zombie’s movements to a certain extent.
Although his left arm could no longer move at all, and he even felt the tearing sensation in his abdomen causing his vision to turn black, Cupid, who was so cruel, actually raised his bow arm with his right hand and blocked the attack from the walking corpse next to him.
Claw, and also made a posture to attack the enemy's main formation in reverse!!
Of course, Cupid, who is at the end of his strength at this moment, can only pretend to be bluffing. Even with every step he takes, Cupid himself can feel the mysterious "death" that is constantly pulling away his consciousness.
Leave.
However, she didn't even care how much attention her actions could attract or how much energy she could distract them~
[This is...the only thing I can do...the only thing I can do...]
Cupid indeed paid the price for his carelessness, but his decisiveness at the last moment was also seen in the eyes of the four lancers fighting in front.
In fact, when their commanders at the rear reminded each other, they did not realize that the other party was in danger. It was not until the insidious undead that had been hiding in the skeleton team suddenly showed its fangs that they realized that it was so far away from them.
There is actually a powerful enemy hiding very close by!
Although the enemy who suddenly attacked may be only a few meters away from them... but these few meters are like a chasm at the moment!
The zombie warriors and skeleton archers used their bodies to create a wall of bones. In a hurry, a few poorly equipped lancers could not break through (the cavalry's breakthrough ability came more from the charging effect of the war horses), and they could only watch their own side.
The "comrades" were torn apart by the enemy's spells like broken dolls...
At that moment, even though the previous few people did not regard the brave militiamen summoned by their commanders as their true "comrades in arms," they still couldn't help but roar.
Especially when the elf girl who suffered a fatal blow actually managed to survive and still tried to continue to move towards the enemy who sneaked up on her...
That kind of determination that resisted the pressure of death but never stopped moving forward made even a few rough men's eyes red from the stimulation, and the opponent's bloody footprints made their hearts boil with anger!!
Perhaps he also guessed the human reaction. After severely injuring Cupid, the necromancer who had been disguising himself as an ordinary skeleton archer began to pour firepower on several lancers like crazy - cursing, interfering, attacking, soul shouting...
…
Even when the Lancers were fighting fiercely and refused to retreat, the Skeleton Mage began to cast spells to strengthen the combat effectiveness of his undead soldiers. It was only at this moment that Liu Yifei finally determined that this Nima was not a Skeleton Mage at all, but
He is actually the second necromancer hiding in the undead team!!!
Fuck~
Although the reinforcements sent by the enemy to the rear this time seemed small, they managed to squeeze out two necromancers in one go!!!
Ordinary skeleton mages are just outliers among the skeleton group - if skeleton archers can be trained from skeleton soldiers through simple training, then skeleton mages need more harsh external factors to be formed.
Either it is a place where natural magic and death energy gather, or there are more powerful upper-level undead who spend a lot of effort to "transform" themselves. Generally, those created in this way exist as their own "guards" and can also be used for
When controlling the undead army on a large scale, it is easy to subordinate other more low-level cannon fodder...
But in any case, the Skeleton Mage's own spellcasting abilities are not very diverse - since the high-ranking undead may spend a lot of effort to inscribe magic patterns on the Skeleton Mage, the Skeleton Mage is not necessarily unable to cast mid-to-high-level spells, but they are almost
It is possible that the types of spells that can be cast will be added in the future.
Strictly speaking, Skeleton Mage is more like the blood warlock often mentioned in other fantasy games...
The "skeleton" in front of me, who looks ordinary in appearance, has many types of spells that far exceed the limit of the average skeleton mage. Although he doesn't have any great skills, he is probably also a necromancer!
It is extremely possible that he is a subordinate slave of the corpse witch, serving the former... and the corpse witch is really tolerant enough, and actually kept holding this trump card until Liu Yifei gave the final warning, otherwise I am afraid that Cupid may not even have the chance to take action.
You will all miss it in vain...
"Light the fire! Light the fire!!!"
The lancers in front were already getting angry - maybe the previous battle went well, and their commander also divided the battle into a simple step by step. Everyone acted according to the plan and everything seemed to be going smoothly...
But suddenly seeing the dying state of their "companions" and the determination bursting out from them, the blood in the hearts of these soldiers rolling on the battlefield of life and death was suddenly activated.
Although it may gain combat effects similar to "explosion" and "madness" in a short period of time...but in fact, a state like this may not be a good thing——
First of all, it exposed the blank slate identities of the four Lancers in front of them as indeed having "limited potential"!
The so-called "elite" for ordinary NPCs, the more they hone their own strength and join more advanced military groups, they will naturally become the so-called "elite"~
But in the measurement system of whiteboard, elite, and BOSS (hero), the breadth and depth of knowledge an individual possesses, the number of skills he possesses, the level of his skills, and most importantly, the amount of talent are the real basis for judging his or her potential.
.
Under this system, simple basic attribute levels are meaningless - if you recruit soldiers, Liu Yifei naturally wants a rank, and the higher the level, the better. But if you recruit non-commissioned officers such as lieutenants, it is better to recruit non-commissioned officers like Da Siji.
Young people who are obviously talented like that have a better future, even if the other party's hard power is temporarily inferior...
Liu Yifei had already made the battle plan very clear before. Cupid's "sneak attack" did not mean that he could easily kill the opponent with a few arrows - after all, the opponent was an undead! In the absence of the power of spells to strike, the more difficult it was to
Facing high-level undead, the effect of ordinary physical damage will be worse.
Especially at the level of [Corpse Witch], even peasants with swords are difficult to hurt. Even if an ordinary strong person dismantles half of their body, the Corpse Witch still has terrifying spellcasting ability...
The current conditions are limited, and all Liu Yifei can think of is "fire"!
So the arrows Cupid shot were not ordinary arrows at all, but "special ammunition" in which all the original iron arrows were replaced with small kerosene bottles!
Originally, Cupid should be responsible for the task of "lighting the fire". He would first shoot more arrows to "soak" the opponent, and then send the opponent to heaven with the last arrow~
The lancers on the periphery are not only to cover the opponent's sneak attack, but also to suppress the opponent in reverse. If the Necromancer discovers their purpose and wants to escape, four fifth-level soldiers can join forces to suppress the opponent...
Now that Cupid's operation has failed, the most labor-saving way is naturally to try to ignite the fire oil that the other party has spilled~
After all, although Cupid's last two arrows were a bit crooked, at least the previous "three consecutive shots" still poured water all over the corpse witch's head and body~
Who would have thought that not only did Cupid himself fail, but seeing the miserable situation of his comrades, several of the top soldiers actually turned red and wanted to fight the enemy desperately!!
This is almost a sign of being completely dominated by instinct, and it also proves that the opponent's accumulation of knowledge and combat skills must not meet the standards. Don't think about being elite or not...
If the actual intention is exposed, there is no telling how the opponent will respond. Especially now that the opponent has an additional spell-casting unit, there are even more uncertainties.
However, the behavior of these soldiers was so stupid that Liu Yifei had no choice but to shout out——
Fortunately, these lancers were not comparable to those in Carava Castle. After all, they were elite soldiers from Harmondale. They had a lot of practical little bits and pieces on them. At that moment, someone looked for ignition tools on their bodies.
, ignited a little spark and threw it towards the conspicuous corpse witch without saying a word!
It's a pity that Liu Yifei's "reminder" really gave his opponent a huge hint. When he saw that they were really trying to light a fire, the skeleton wizard immediately used the trick of the mage's hand to remove the "water stains" on the corpse wizard's body.
fell, and the Corpse Witch waved his staff, and a strong wind suddenly roared in the formation, and the two fires were blown away~
Fortunately, the lancer guarding the shield might be more experienced. He also realized the key to lighting the fire immediately, but he was not as eager as his companions. Instead, he used the big shield in his hand to hide the flame in his hand and fought hard.
Even after being attacked by the cannon fodder undead, he forced himself a few steps forward. After knocking open the enemy's protective wall, he directly pressed the flames onto the oil stains spreading to the ground without saying a word...
Boom~~~
The serious kerosene prepared by alchemy is an important strategic material. In the city defense war, it is a terrible liquid that can be used to cause devastating blows to the siege. The burning intensity is not exaggerated compared to gasoline in reality~
As soon as the small flame here touched, the bursting fire almost rolled out. Although the skeleton wizard was already cleaning the suspicious liquid on his master's body quickly, his action was a step too slow after all!
I saw the red lotus explode in the field, and the flames flowed across like water, running along the corpse witch's feet and straight to the opponent's head!
The sharp and ear-piercing screams flowed out in an instant along with the vibrations at the soul level, and even accompanied by the power of the flames bursting, instantly dispersed some of the cannon fodder undead guarding the corpse witch.
"Kill that skeleton!!"
When Liu Yifei saw the fire igniting, he was afraid that the soldiers would be stunned again, so he immediately issued the final killing order!
Compared with ordinary physical attacks, the damage caused by flames to the undead is much more effective even though it is not as obvious as life or light spells~
At this moment, the corpse witch has been surrounded by fire, but the key is that the fire does not recognize people.
It's not like in other simple games where the fire you lighted cannot burn you... Instead of trying to find someone uncomfortable at this time, of course the priority is to kill the skeleton wizard!
Even as long as the skeleton wizard and the corpse wizard are eliminated, it doesn't matter if a few people retreat on the spot. Anyway, in the army of the undead, apart from the high-ranking undead, only the undead wizards are worth killing...
When the lancers had nowhere to vent their anger, they began to charge towards the skeleton wizard without saying a word.
The raging flames not only brought huge continuous damage to the corpse witch, but also frightened the skeleton wizard. He didn't expect that the human goal was so clear, and he immediately wanted his own life!
At this moment, the corpse witch's shrill scream in his soul was also mixed with the scolding of the skeleton wizard, asking him to help him get out of the current predicament.
However, the butcher's knife is already hanging above his head, who has time to care about the owner who cannot live in others?
Just when the front was in a mess, Liu Yifei was alone and entangled with several undead in the back, but he had already broken through the enemy's defense after killing another undead - originally, there were four people here.
Only the undead and the cold arrows of the corpse witch were able to beat someone to death like a dog and escape.
However, the corpse witch definitely has no time to deal with Mr. Liu now, but there are only three undead souls left...
Is this okay?!
Liu Yifei easily killed another one, and then hurriedly ran forward, taking advantage of the enemy's confusion to ambush him!!
As for Cupid, who had disappeared like a meteor before, although he was full of resentment in his heart, his will was eventually swallowed up by the darkness, and now there is only a floating corpse left, thrown into the battlefield...
