As someone who grew up and worked in the South in his previous life, it was actually rare for Richard to see snow once. Occasionally, a few grains of snow would fall and he would feel as excited as the Chinese New Year. If he could pile up a little bit of snow and make a small snowman of a few centimeters, he would
That's hours of fun tinkering with.
But in this life, Richard has lived in the North for nearly twenty years. There is not a single winter in the North where it doesn't snow. Occasionally, snow disasters will cause headaches because the snow is too heavy. He no longer has the same curiosity about snow as before.
Now facing this kind of snowstorm, which is countless times more terrifying than a snowstorm, Richard has no mood to appreciate the snow scene at all.
The heavy snow accompanied by the whistling north wind showed no intention of stopping, and even became more and more intense. He led all high-level troops. Although they did not have the magic resistance effect of the dragon, they were not affected by the ice and snow for the time being.
But the ordinary soldiers of the Dragon Army and the Griffin Army basically have difficulty fighting in this environment, and even walking is a little difficult.
Only the Shenwei crossbow shooters on the city wall changed into non-slip shoes in time and still gritted their teeth and managed to load and shoot, but the efficiency was already shockingly low.
While leading his men to charge, Richard had been observing the direction of the Snow Giant King in the distance. The figure that was much taller than the surrounding Snow Giants was really obvious, making it difficult not to notice him. Although Richard was momentarily
I haven't figured out the key, but it is obvious that this sudden snowstorm is inseparable from the newly arrived Snow Giant King.
The reason why Richard has been observing the opponent is also very simple. As long as the Snow Giant King gets closer and enters the attack range of the energy tower, Richard will immediately attack and activate the strongest attack of the energy tower to directly kill the opponent.
, a holy-level blow, even if the opponent has some life-saving means, it is impossible to escape completely. As long as the opponent is seriously injured, the current predicament will be solved.
However, Snow Giant King Vernon had no intention of getting close to Snowfield City.
Although Vernon was born tall and mighty, his character was somewhat similar to Richard's. He would do whatever he could and would not take risks easily. Xueyuancheng's endless methods made him instinctively feel quite threatened. In addition, the city's
It's very strange when it appears. As the Snow Giant King, he would rather let his men rush a few more times than approach Snowfield City casually.
Releasing a few spells using the Ice and Snow Key from a distance is the limit of what he can do at present.
Facing such a stubborn Snow Giant King, Richard felt very uncomfortable. At this time, he finally understood the feelings of his former enemies, and he simply didn't give them a chance.
The position of the Snow Giant King is just outside the attack range of the Energy Tower. As long as he advances to the Dragon Army's first line of defense, about one kilometer away from Snowfield City, Richard can decisively launch the Energy Tower's attack.
Ability to directly attack Vernon.
But Vernon was extremely cautious, staying behind and refusing to move forward at all, leaving Li Chakong holding a trump card but unable to play it.
"Bang! Bang bang..."
The next thing that made Richard even more uncomfortable came. In this weird snowstorm, there was not only wind and snow, but also hail the size of goose eggs started to fall...
The blizzard contained hailstones as big as goose eggs, which greatly increased the destructive power. The hailstones hit the ground with a loud bang. Hailstones of this level can directly cause certain damage to people when they hit them.
.
The snow giant's defense can still ignore the damage caused by these hailstones, but ordinary human soldiers will start to feel pain after being hit a few times. Some unlucky ones are hit on the head by large hailstones and fainted on the spot. This battle is obviously
There is no way to fight.
During the time when the Snow Giant King was using his skills, Richard went through several plans in his mind, but in the end they were rejected one by one. They were either too risky or the success rate was too low, so he could only play a trump card in advance.
Seeing that the Snow Giant's front team was chasing the retreating army and approaching the city wall, Richard did not issue an order to close the city gate. Anyway, with the Snow Giant's height, as long as he got close to the city wall, it would not be a big problem to climb over. The significance of this city gate
In fact, it's not that big. If you rush to close the city gate, an army of heroes will enter the city to escape the wind and snow.
Seeing that the vanguard of the Snow Giants' front team had basically entered within 500 meters of Snowfield City, Richard called his system soldiers to gather together, used the remaining magic power to activate teleportation again, and returned to Snowfield City.
outside the door.
"The First Flag Regiment of the Dragon Army! Follow me to fight!"
"kill!"
At this time, the wind and snow had reached the level of blocking the vision. Under the double interference of blizzard and hail, even the most disciplined army would inevitably have chaos. However, at this time, the subjective initiative of the battle was reflected.
After the Snow Giant broke through the outer position and approached the city wall, although most of the soldiers were in confusion, few escaped. After an officer raised his arms, many soldiers turned around and faced the Snow Giant with weapons.
Go in the direction you came from.
"Gryphon Legion!"
"glory!"
"Gryphon Legion!"
"Invincible!"
"Fight me!"
"kill!"
Compared with the silence of the Dragon Army when they went into battle, the Griffin Army still had an aura of explosiveness. However, this aura of the Second Aura broke the dullness due to the defeat in the war and boosted morale.
.
Then some of the soldiers continued to enter the city, while the other soldiers decisively and difficultly turned around to face the direction of the snow giant. If it were not for this blizzard environment, such a group of soldiers who looked back on death would have caused some damage to the snow giant.
But now they have some difficulty walking. Fighting the snow giants who are not affected much by the environment is basically no different from delivering food.
Fortunately, Richard would not watch his heroic soldiers die meaninglessly. After returning to Snowfield City, Richard quickly clicked on the Snowfield City panel and found the Energy Tower.
As a miraculous building made of artificial gods, the Energy Tower not only produces the effect of boiling magic, but also has two powerful active abilities, one for attack and one for defense.
There is no chance to use the attack ability for the time being. The Snow Giant King is too stubborn. The range of the energy tower is not that far, so he can only activate the energy shield that Richard regards as his trump card.
When Richard turned on the shield option at the midpoint of his consciousness, a dazzling light blue light instantly swayed from the energy tower and expanded in a semicircle in all directions.
The dazzling light directly penetrated the obstruction of the blizzard, and was very conspicuous in the vast whiteness. From the outside, a semicircular light curtain could be seen breaking through the snowstorm, gradually shrouding the entire Snowfield City.
Taking the light curtain as the dividing line, outside the light curtain there is still wind, snow and hail, but inside the light curtain the wind and snow has stopped, and all the wind and snow are blocked outside this light curtain.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"What is this?"
The extending light curtain finally stopped at a position about 500 meters away from the city wall of Snowfield City. Several hundred snow giants who were attacking more urgently were also shrouded in the light curtain at this time. Because the incident happened suddenly, most of them still followed the instructions.
The previous command to attack.
However, the Snow Giant troops that were supposed to follow them and continue the attack were just blocked outside the light curtain.
After hitting hard to no avail, several snow giants even collided directly with their bodies, and then fell to the ground twitching.
"Stop! Stop!"
The Snow Giant commander in front discovered something was wrong with this blue light curtain, and immediately ordered the Snow Giant to stop the attack and stop causing fearless casualties.
But the snow giant who was already inside the light curtain was a little embarrassed. Those who reacted faster had turned around and tried to retreat, but this light curtain turned out to be two-way. Without Richard lifting this protective shield, or automatically disappearing when the duration expires, any
No one can enter or exit this blue light curtain.
Unless there is more power to directly break it, but in terms of energy, the energy core that maintains this light curtain is a pseudo-godhead equivalent to the entire energy of a medium-sized god. No matter how bad it is, it cannot be opened by a group of ordinary snow giants, even now
The same cannot be said for the Snow Giant King who sometimes brings wind and snow and sometimes hail.
"What should I do?"
The Snow Giants, who had been aggressively about to attack the city just now, were suddenly dumbfounded. There were not many or few Snow Giants who had entered the protective barrier. There were only less than 500 people. The follow-up troops could not enter now.
What's more serious is that within the shield, the influence of the wind and snow has subsided, and everything is blocked from the blue light curtain. The soldiers in Snowfield City have returned to their normal state, and they just vowed to die.
Although the soldiers who came over to fight didn't know what was going on, the blizzard had receded and they saw that Richard, not far away, had given an order for the entire team to attack...
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The team of soldiers quickly adjusted and attacked the hundreds of snow giants who were still stunned. Because the protective shield was opened, the battlefield environment suddenly changed drastically. The snow giants who had the absolute upper hand just now were suddenly trapped as a lone army.
Inside the protective cover.
The momentum on both sides changed in an instant. The human side was full of momentum, but the morale of the trapped snow giant dropped sharply.
"Ready to fight!"
"Don't panic! My king is right behind us, and my king is watching us!"
At this time, the Snow Giant Commander was the first to come to his senses and reminded the surrounding Snow Giants to prepare for battle. Facing the gradually approaching human army, the trapped Snow Giants also came to their senses.
There is no way to retreat now. If you want to survive, you can only resist the human attack first and wait for Wang Ting's rescue. These snow giants still have some hope of fighting against Wang Ting. The Snow Giant King is behind them.
Although there was nothing they could do with the shield, they believed that the powerful Snow Giant King would definitely be able to break this strange blue light curtain.
So when the Snow Giant Commander mentioned the Snow Giant King, the Snow Giant soldiers calmed down a little. Although their morale was still low, they finally regained their combat capabilities.
However, they have to continue fighting at this time, and the difficulty is no less than that of the human army fighting in the blizzard just now. The blizzard in the shield has stopped now. They not only have to face a large number of human ground troops, but also
With all the long-range firepower on Snowfield City, they were just within the attack range of all the long-range troops on the city wall...
The first ones to launch attacks were long-range units such as phantom shooters and magic mages. As soon as the wind and snow stopped, the system soldiers who had regained their accuracy took the lead in launching attacks. Although their attack power was slightly weaker, they were still vulnerable to the fate of Richard.
The usual tactic was to use a dozen or so Snow Giants to set one Snow Giant on fire. After a few rounds, seven or eight Snow Giants had fallen to the ground and died.
The Shenwei crossbow in the distance was quickly put into position. Although half of it was damaged and there was no time to replenish it, even if it was used to face the remaining half, the snow giant would still have a headache because they were too close and it was very easy to aim.
The damage caused by dozens of Shenwei crossbows is already equivalent to the previous hundred Shenwei crossbows.
Also firing at the same time were the dark gold golems that Richard had already placed on the city wall. These long-range weapons, second only to the mighty crossbows in power, intensively emitted red rays. Normally, it only took two or three hits to kill a snow giant warrior.
Loss of fighting ability.
"Block!"
"Take cover!"
Because the materials in the snowfield are limited, the snow giants do not have any siege weapons. Of course, the snow giants do not actually need those things to attack ordinary cities.
But therefore, when faced with the powerful long-range firepower of Snowfield City, the Snow Giant seemed very helpless. There was a flat plain in front of Snowfield City, and it was difficult to repair anything on this frozen soil. There was no bunker.
In the end, the snow giant had to pick up the corpses of his companions to block the long-range attacks from Snowfield City. Although the method was not good-looking, it did play a certain role. At least the effects of the normal attacks issued by the system soldiers were weakened a lot.
, only the magic mages are still exerting their abilities. Anyway, they will release a buff skill every once in a while, which is negative for the enemy and positive for their own people.
However, this attack could only be resisted for a while at best. Before the soldiers of the Dragon Army and the Griffin Army could attack, Richard had already led his system soldiers to launch a counterattack...
