"Tsk~ It's so annoying. Is there really a big guy hiding..."
Although he had made speculations in his mind early in the morning, and even tried to test the opponent several times. However, when Liu Yifei actually saw the huge dragon skeleton resurrected in the undead stronghold in the magic image through the detection technique, Liu Yifei still felt a wave of pain in his teeth.
Sore...
The word "legend" not only describes the affirmation of the powerful strength of a group of people, but also the awe of its terrifying dominance on the battlefield!
In battlefields where legendary combat power exists, what really determines the direction of the battle is often the outcome of the final battle between high-level groups~
Just like the bone dragon on the undead side, or the green dragon on the barrier side, if one side can win in the end and has enough energy and destructive power to suppress the remaining middle and low-level troops, then there may be dozens of them on the entire battlefield.
Thousands of "all living beings" will tremble under the opponent's "death threat".
This is the "living nuclear deterrent" of the magical world!
With such a troublesome guy watching eagerly from the side, how can Liu Yifei, as a commander responsible for hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, not have a headache?
After all, as the "third party" in this mess, or the original real party involved, he is the only one who does not have any legendary level combat power to listen to the announcement... This matter is not just as simple as losing face, in case
If one is not good, you will have to spend a lot of your life to fill it.
However, without giving Liu Yifei any more time to struggle, the undead side, which seemed to be stimulated by the outpouring of the barrier forces, actually began to send troops out of the city...
But what made Liu Yifei's brows jump was that he could clearly see that the group of suspected [Black Knights] were actually coming towards him...
[Gan! You don’t care about the green dragon in the east. If you come to us south, do you think we are easy to bully...]
"Okay everyone~ This battle has just begun, but I don't need to say more about its importance. Before nightfall, we have to win this round. Everyone... I wish nature is eternal and prosperous!"
Timiusius promptly dispersed the magic scene that was surrounded by everyone. All the commanders around him saluted uniformly. Even Liu Yifei subconsciously performed a simple knight's salute according to the habit of his previous life, and then divided up to control their own affairs.
The subordinates take action - this is the signal to officially start the war!
But even when he led a group of cavalry "out of the city", Liu Yifei still couldn't suppress the worry in his heart - the opposite side had already turned the attention of a [Black Knight] force estimated to be more than a hundred people.
In terms of the division of powers and duties agreed upon in advance, this turned out to be the main opponent of Liu Yifei and his human soldiers...
Who makes Timiusius seem to have no unicorn troops?
In the ordinary war sequence of the barrier forces, the three main forces that can be called "mobile" are [Centaur], [Winging Soldier], and [Unicorn]!
[Unicorn] is out of business, [Winging Soldier] has more important responsibilities of air protection, patrolling, and delivering messages, and if [Centaur] is allowed to face a killing machine like [Black Knight],
That is tantamount to using the corpses of centaurs to forcefully buy time for partial victory in the entire battle...
If you have to, this is not unacceptable, but there is obviously a better choice at the moment, and Timiusius will naturally not really not take his own life seriously~
But as the "better choice" itself, Liu Yifei knew his own hardships.
The mobile cavalry under his command is mainly composed of third-level [Rangers], with a small number of fourth-level [Heavy Cavalry] mixed in. Of course, there are also a considerable number of temporary cavalry [Druids] (a mixture of various factions,
Ruian Commander)] and [Monk].
Regardless of the average level of strength or the size of the troops, Liu Yifei's mobile cavalry team is quite suitable to fight against the [Black Knights]... But the key is that Liu Yifei, as the commander of this unit, did not sacrifice it in exchange for victory.
decision!!
Because all Liu Yifei's current rights are only "temporary"...
He has the right to use various materials, manpower, and command, but he does not have that "ownership" in the end - among all the soldiers under his command, not even one of them is a "private soldier" that truly belongs to him!
And his behavior itself always wanders on the edge of the "rules"!
Once there are serious casualties and someone is held accountable afterwards...
Thanks to the existing system and the "rules", Liu Yifei can accumulate his own strength dozens of times and hundreds of times faster than countless players, and can even "take over the sky" in the northern border of the Kingdom of Erathia!
However, since he grew up in the system, this system will eventually become his "shackles", and once he encounters liquidation, the consequences will be even more terrifying than losing everything...
But can Liu Yifei refuse Timiusius's "responsibility assignment"?
Of course not.
Not to mention that this task assignment itself is very reasonable. If Liu Yifei were in Timiusius's position, he would make the same decision.
Later, he still wanted to take advantage of the victory of the barrier forces, and Jin Yan continued to advance north, so that he could get some oil and water along the way and gain some benefits. Now Liu Yifei could not say "no" to the other party's order...
[Fortunately, there is not completely no room for change...]
Liu Yifei prayed silently in his heart, hoping that today's plot would end smoothly...
A large-scale war involving hundreds of thousands of people is by no means something that can be launched immediately from the beginning. The number of soldiers who can actually exert combat power in a unit area is limited, so the time to "spread the battlefield" is indispensable first.
However, when all the soldiers are deployed, it is not completely safe. A single beyond-the-horizon attack can make many rookies on the battlefield panic for the first time. Why has Liu Yifei not been very fond of those soldiers?
The combat power other than the real "veterans"? Even the vast majority of players... whether they are warriors or spellcasters?
Because only when these rookies actually go to large-scale battlefields and see the "power" that usually seems to be within the scope of understanding suddenly become something they cannot understand, will they truly understand the combat power of this world.
How high is the ceiling?
In daily battles, the regular firepower radius of spellcasters (excluding those single legendary monsters) is basically the same as that of powerful shooters of the same level, ranging from tens of meters to one or two hundred meters.
However, on a large battlefield, a combination with the super magic skills of the caster team can allow the casters to easily project their firepower more than a thousand meters away!!
Just like now, when Liu Yifei leads his first line of defense as the outermost line of defense away from the main formation, he has become a target in the eyes of some people... Fortunately, Liu Yifei has a powerful enough spell caster in his team.
Sensing Superman, otherwise the commander would not know if he was being targeted - at least in Liu Yifei's experience, he truly felt that the caster actually had the advantage in protection and detection compared to the firepower output.
Much bigger!
The newly arrived Ruian was worthy of his ability as a high-level spell caster (maybe with the bonus of a leader template). He immediately reminded Liu Yifei that there was a spell attack on the way, and Liu Yifei, as a veteran on the battlefield, did not panic at all, and instead led
As the cavalry troops under his command temporarily accelerated slightly, they directly crossed the predetermined area that had previously been advancing at a constant speed——
Just kidding~
Although the magical power of magic can do many magical things, it cannot easily shake some of the lowest objective laws!
In a "wasteland" without any guidance auxiliary equipment, it is absolutely impossible for a spellcaster to temporarily condense magic power thousands of meters away from the body, and then release spells on the spot to bombard opponents at zero distance.
The more conventional method is to condense the spells around you, and then with the blessing of the super magic skill array, make the spells more condensed and less likely to collapse, and then project them like cannonballs to the distant target...
This creates a problem that cannot be ignored: not only is the attack distance indeed far, but the attack time in transit is also several times longer!
The most commonly used battle formation spells by the undead army are [Stinky Cloud Technique] and [Death Cloud Technique], which naturally has a lot to do with their main spellcasting force being [Corpse Witch].
Neither of these two spells are dominated by flight speed. It is really easy for the cavalry to avoid it...
Not long after, a group of cavalrymen saw more than a dozen suspicious "clouds" that were huge and heart-stopping above their heads, flying past in a hazy semi-arc trajectory, and behind them, a howling ghost cloud exploded!
The extremely condensed and compressed spell power will naturally undergo some qualitative changes after being accumulated in great quantity. The first one is the great expansion of the scope of influence-in isolation, these spells cast by [Corpse Witch] are at most half.
meters in diameter, it would be amazing to have a radius of several meters after the explosion, covering seven or eight people at the same time~
More often than not, a large number of these spells explode on the battlefield, which actually has a greater effect of blocking the enemy's charging channel!
After all, no matter whether soldiers are advancing or retreating, they can only stay away from these clouds of magic spells with considerable lethality. Compared with the undead troops who can completely ignore and pass freely, they are first suppressed in the array formation.
Got a head...
However, after the "improvement" of the super magic battle formation, the moment the "Death Cloud Technique" exploded, it seemed as if countless resentful spirits were wailing, and a huge smoke cloud of skeletons even rose above the venue - the visual effect was absolutely explosive.
!
And the wild land that was originally still somewhat full of weeds and snakes and insects, not only was it immediately cut off from all life after this round of baptism, but even the surface soil seemed to have suddenly turned into a "cursed place", and a strange feeling began to appear.
Dead gray - this is the change of the land after being washed away by a huge amount of undead energy. Speaking of it, it is really the same color as the soil of the tombs and cemeteries that have passed through the years~
Faced with such a terrifying scene, Liu Yifei's team was almost unfazed - after all, they were all veterans from Harmondale. It was a scene where the power of magic directly exploded into the crowd around them.
, many of them may have seen it before. What is there to make such a fuss about in front of them, such a small scene with no blood on their skin?
The only one who is a little disharmonious is probably the group of druids...
Don't forget, most of the people here are just "apprentice" level druids.
Although the "apprentices" mentioned by Timiusius are not all rookies who have just been exposed to the power of magic for a long time, there are indeed some novices among them, or some who have never been on the battlefield, more or less
You will still be surprised and even slightly afraid of the power of spellcasters in the enemy team...
But fortunately, with Ruian's suppression, Liu Yifei shouldn't have to worry about the low morale and battlefield chaos caused by "mixed troops" at least until his main formation is not severely damaged...right?
However, the rear quickly gave the soldiers at the front more confidence - with a loud rumbling sound, two oversized... I don't know whether they should be giant earth elements or giant mud elements broke free from the embrace of the earth.
He rose up from the ground amid the tremors of the earth, carrying vines entangled like a giant python, and began to chase after Liu Yifei and the others and charge towards Strong's stronghold!
The upper body of this huge strange elemental body still has a normal [earth element] shape, but under the huge upper body of more than ten meters, it is in a strange and amorphous state like surging mud...
Should it be said that he is a Druid who is proficient in life, nature, and balance?
There are a lot of tricks to play with various "hybridities" - the lower body of this strange superstar element provides it with the ability to move stably on multiple terrains like chariot tracks. Compared with the original version of the [Earth Element], it has better maneuverability.
Even stronger!
Moreover, Liu Yifei had already seen these "disguised" and similar-looking "alien vine giants" before!
Even though their upper bodies are made of solid earth and rocks, their lower bodies are filled with turbulent mud... However, all this is just an illusion!! Their real core lies in the dense vines in their bodies that look like giant snakes entwining themselves!
And the "toughness" of this thing is outrageously high!!
Rather than saying that they are giant war puppets that can attack a city, it is better to say that they are born to bluff people and then use them to attract the enemy's firepower and waste the opponent's magic power - [Earth Element] itself has the strongest power among the four elements.
Thick, with the toughest endurance, coupled with the transformation of natural spells, these "alien vine giants" can easily withstand the bombardment of most high-level spells and above, and can even absorb the power of the earth through the vines to quickly heal themselves
, becoming an absolutely annoying little goblin in the eyes of the enemy...
But its physical advantage lies there~
If the opponent does not use the dragon-level legendary combat power to contain it, or tilt the saturation spell attack, these vine giants whose actual power is not too exaggerated will definitely attack the opponent's middle and low-level troops, as well as city walls, etc.
Launch a devastating attack on defense facilities!
Do you still remember the "corpse-eating vine breaking through the wall" incident that happened under Heath City?
This is also the specialty of these "vine giants"...
Sure enough, after unleashing such a powerful weapon, the undead side's over-the-horizon magic firepower began to focus on the path of the two giant elemental monsters, leaving ten marks on their bodies in a short period of time.
Multiple traces caused by magic bombardment...
However, the thick "armor" on the elemental giant's body effectively blocked the erosion of the natural vines by the magic of death, and the damage was quickly repaired by the surging repairs of the vines, and the elemental giant's toughness began to take effect.
However, as a result, the Undead side naturally became more concerned about these two big guys - the [Black Knight] team not far ahead seemed to have adjusted its route and was actually planning to rush directly in front of these two big guys.
Door!
"Tsk~"
After all, they are old rivals. They both know each other quite well...
In fact, for things like the "alien vine giant", it is easiest to let an elite with particularly strong individual strength come over and directly show his face.
After all, the so-called "toughness" also requires space and time to recover from injuries that are not painful or itchy. If it is attacked by intensive and high-intensity attacks in a short period of time, the power of the vine giant will immediately be inferior to that of a real [Earth Elemental] of the same volume.
】A giant~
The [Black Knight] itself is also a medium-sized unit, and its strength is astonishing. The giant sword in its hand is extremely sharp, and it is blessed with soul fire. It is the only choice to kill these devilish things. It is also nearby at this time, so it is not possible.
Did he immediately change his original combat goal?
However, Liu Yifei did not go straight to others' homes in the same way...
Just kidding~
The [Black Knight] is a serious sixth-level high-level combat power per capita. It collides head-on with these damn things that are comparable to metal tanks... Even Erathia's [Knight] Legion does not play like this. There are so many people under his command.
What kind of goods are they?
However, Liu Yifei has gradually increased the team's swarming speed, and asked the casters in the team to start gathering their power to the side of the team - just like when he rode a griffon and Pegasus to sweep away the undead, at this time Liu Yifei
The purpose is still to fight fast and slow, to fight close from far, and to rely on the power of the casters in the team to focus fire to attack the enemy's black knight...
The battle in the frontline area began to heat up the entire battle little by little. However, as the party being "swarmed", the undead camp where Strong was located did not seem to worry about its situation, and even faced the Eastern Three Heads gradually advancing.
The pressed green dragon didn't seem to let its own bone dragon take off... Even the long-range firepower was not tilted this way, but it made Crane, as the commander, frown secretly...
It is true that Crane was born a dwarf, but what few people know is that their family also inherited a genuine "treasure" called the "Unicorn Helmet"!
The reason why Crane, who is a male...and not very handsome in appearance, is able to win the favor of the unicorn clan is inextricably related to his clan's treasure...
Thanks to living with unicorns all year round, Crane himself seems to have undergone some magical changes inexplicably... It seems that part of the demonic nature of the dwarf has been strengthened. Although Crane is now
Within the barrier force, there is only a knight under a little-known border lord, but his strength is quite strong. The only thing missing is his actual achievements and the recommendation of a high-ranking member of the clan~
Being able to unexpectedly intervene in the war against Diya in the new green territory of Erathia is also a big opportunity for Crane.
That's why after he "accidentally" met Jenny, he advocated for this "support" trip. He even mobilized his own resources and found a lot of extra help, just to make a name for himself in Erathia in one fell swoop.
reputation...
But the sudden outbreak of the Dia invasion war almost ruined Crane's overall plan. Because part of the territory of the lord he served was also destroyed by the initial raid of the undead...
The only good thing is that the territory of my lord is not included in the main attack range of the undead party. It can only be said that it was a little affected early~
Compared to the devastation in other places, fortunately, my lord just stepped up the evacuation work in other areas out of panic.
Why did Liu Yifei feel that the fortress reinforcements hosted by Crane and Timiusius suddenly accelerated the decisive battle against the undead?
In fact, it was precisely because of the increasingly raging war against the undead in Eri that the lord Kelan served could not sit still. Although the elites Kelan was calling were the "patrol troops" affiliated with the Kingdom of Eri,
At the same time, he also mobilized a large amount of his own family's power, but at the same time, Crane also persuaded his own lords to throw chips in this "support war" against Erathia.
Military power, resources...
And now, Crane is almost unable to withstand the pressure from his own lord and has transferred all these things back. How can Crane not be anxious?
For himself... for his allies... for the new friends he just met... No matter what, Crane will make this decisive battle a success!
For this reason, he even did not hesitate to lend out his treasure "Unicorn Helmet", intending to give his enemies a "surprise" in this war - he had hidden the unicorn under his command in advance.
Beast troops.
Except for the three green dragons that belonged to his lord and were hovering above their heads, in fact, Crane's troops did not necessarily "look" much stronger than Timius's troops.
Even because his profession is a warrior rather than a spell caster, in terms of spell power, the eastern branch of the Klan may be weaker...
What Crane wanted to do was to deliberately show weakness to the enemy, attract the enemy's firepower, and then give the opponent some "surprises" or something.
If the other party thinks that he is easy to bully and is willing to send a group of bone dragons to attack him in advance, he will not mind swallowing the "meeting gift" sent by the enemy!
But the enemy in front of them kept staring at the troops of Sir Timiusius in the south to put pressure on them, completely ignoring themselves...
Is the three-headed green dragon not under great pressure?
Or have you shown weakness too much, so much so that the other person doesn’t even want to pinch you?
After a slight hesitation, Crane sent out one of his centaur spear throwers in advance and began to tentatively rush towards the undead stronghold to the west...
The centaur group is also quite strange. They obviously have great potential. It stands to reason that as a group of mature individuals with first-level intelligence per capita, their war potential should be far higher than that of weak "humans".
.
However, the problem is that these centaurs seem to have collectively converted to the Balance Druids, and they don't really like to use "foreign objects"...
If their ancient survival experience hadn't taught them to "take up arms" to protect themselves, I'm afraid these centaurs, who come and go like the wind, would have even discarded their usual long-handled war spears%
