Chapter 313 Oil Bombs, Defense and Suppression Battle 【Seeking Monthly Pass】
This one is the passive skill kerosene bomb attached to the [Giant Turret].
The flaming cannonballs flew out with a flash of fire, and then fell with a screeching sound.
Accurately hit the position locked by Zong Shen's perspective.
"Boom!"
After the violent explosion, the flames shot into the sky, and the shock wave of the airflow blew all the ghost banshees out.
In situ, within 60 meters covered by the explosion, the flames continued to ignite.
The fire tongue licked the crypt monsters, and their flesh was roasted and peeled off, scorched, and finally turned into black carbon, lost all vitality, and turned into a pool of scorched black pus that melted into the ground.
The effect of the kerosene bomb is still very powerful, comparable to a third-order group attacking fire magic with a fixed damage.
The group attack ability of the [Giant Cannon Tower] is basically the first of all the defensive buildings in Zongshen's territory.
Because it has a large range, it is in line with the characteristics of a giant gun, and its explosion damage is not low.
In a high-density monster group, each cannon can cover 2 to 3,000 crypt monsters, with an average of hundreds of points of explosion damage, and one round is 200,000 to 300,000 points of damage.
If it weren't for the shackles of the attack frequency, and the number of [giant turrets] was too small, I am afraid that only [giant turrets] could wipe them all out.
If there are three or five fourth-order [giant artillery turrets] in the territory, it will be absolutely unfavorable to deal with the crowd tactics.
In particular, the individual strength of the crypt monster group is generally not strong, and the monster group that only relies on the accumulation of numbers to push horizontally is a peerless killer.
Zong Shen has already decided that after the final challenge is over, he must collect a few more [giant turrets], which, like the [Monotov Flamethrower], are super weapons for dealing with crowd tactics.
The former is a defensive building in the garrisoned territory, and the latter is a powerful weapon for group attacks that can be carried around. In addition, Zong Shen also wants to form a scientific research team of magic energy technology, rune technology, and alchemy technology in the territory as soon as possible.
In large-scale wars, these war machines are the absolute killers.
The situation on the front line is still relatively stable, and now there are some casualties one after another.
However, the number of casualties is not too many, most of them are the melee soldiers on the northern line. Some of them stand too far forward. During the melee fight, they were occupied by the scattered ghost banshees and controlled their bodies, and then they were trapped in the crypt. The monsters drowned and died.
At present, the number of casualties is only a few dozen.
In the entire territory, there were a total of seven or eight thousand melee soldiers who came to support.
Mages and bow/crossbow archers, as well as ranged warriors such as those who throw spears, total three or four thousand.
There were dozens of casualties among melee soldiers, which accounted for less than 1% of the total, and these casualties were generally the first- and second-rank whiteboard soldiers trained by the lord himself through the barracks.
The survivability of the professional soldiers recruited from the recruitment roll is even better.
How can there be no casualties in the battle? This casualty will not shake the morale of the lords. Although the lords of the fallen soldiers will still feel a little distressed, overall, the current situation is still very good.
The lords took advantage of the team as well as the individual advantages of the warriors, and a large number of crypt monsters were strangled at every moment.
A yellow-green plague smoke rose from the periphery of the entire territory. This was the plague zone produced by the pus from the dead corpse of the crypt monster seeping into the ground.
In this kind of plague zone, second- and third-order warriors can basically be immune, but those first-order warriors and farmers with relatively low physical fitness can't bear it and are prone to diseases.
The crypt monsters in the west and south of the territory also came into contact with the defense lines in all directions of the territory.
In the west of the territory, there is a five-meter-tall, huge [Heavy Combat Puppet] deployed in front of the defense line. It was motionless and did not make any movement. Those crypt monsters also chose to ignore it and gradually moved it. submerged in the hordes of monsters.
This was also one of the methods that Zong Shen had deployed before. The number of crypt monsters facing the west of the territory was second only to the north, reaching more than 40,000.
Now the defense towers in the territory are running at full capacity, and from time to time, you can see a thunder and lightning in the sky, or a huge moon blade rotating and cutting.
One after another arrows almost wiped the heads of the frontline soldiers and shot into the group of monsters.
The entire territory was filled with shouts of killing, the lashing of arrows, the sound of slashing, the sound of thunder, and the roar of cannons.
Zong Shen controlled the [giant turret] and fired a cannon at the crypt monsters in the west of the territory.
Then he quit the [gunner mode] without looking at it, called Mariel from the [giant crossbow tower], and after a few words, let her be the gunner.
[Giant Crossbow Tower] will not accidentally hurt allies, and it doesn't matter if it shoots automatically, but [Giant Cannon Tower] is not suitable for automatic attacks when both sides have engaged in close combat. Someone must be watching.
After Mariel took Zong Shen's place, Zong Shen walked outside the territory and dialed the communication crystal numbered 3, which was the one that Colby carried.
At this time, Colby was bringing all the wolf cavalry under the legion, and a total of hundreds of wolf cavalry were on standby outside the territory.
At this time, the nearby crypt monsters have all come into contact with the territory, which is the best opportunity for this wolf cavalry to take action!
Zong Shen must rush to clear this group of crypt monsters before the other monsters arrive, so as to free up his hands and organize these lords who came to support them to attack the dark snake Apophis.
Otherwise, with the passage of time, there will be other crypt monsters one after another coming from other places in the area during these six hours, only to take advantage of the current momentum of thunder to quickly wipe out the surrounding territory. There are less than 200,000 crypt monsters, the longer the time drags on, the more crypt monsters will come from other places, and eventually they will be dragged into the territory, unable to free up their hands to deal with regional bosses.
In this case, it deviated from Zong Shen's previous goals and the meaning of the final challenge.
The communication crystal was quickly connected, and Colby's thick and steady voice came from the other end of the crystal.
"Sir, please order!"
He has been on standby for a long time at the periphery, and now he has finally been contacted by Zong Shen.
"Colby, you brought the wolf cavalry to help clear the crypt monsters outside the territory."
"Assign all fighters into squads in order to activate the dashing effect of the knife array."
"Remember that your mission is to roam and output, don't die, don't entangle, if you are attacked by the ghost banshee's control skills, remember to cover each other."
"If you encounter danger and retreat directly, don't hesitate."
Zong Shen quickly explained to the communication crystal and walked outside the north gate of the territory.
Colby replied decisively after hearing the words.
"Ok sir, I understand."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the communication crystal.
And Zong Shen has also walked to the side of Veresa who is standing on the city wall frantically outputting.
"Everyone, don't save skills and increase output."
"We must clear these crypt monsters as soon as possible!"
All the warriors nodded and activated their skills one after another, and the output ability suddenly improved a lot.
At this time, Zong Shen came to the front line again. He was not busy participating in the battle, but inserted a few [Healing Guards] on the front line to heal the wounds and restore the health of the soldiers on the front line.
At the same time, he told the mages and the soldiers on the front line not to keep their hands. Except for the powerful fourth-order summoning skills, all the other skills were thrown at the crypt monsters.
The two claws druids turned into bears on the spot, becoming two violent bears more than two meters high.
Zong Shen stood in place, directly activated the [Ghoul Ring] skill to summon two ghouls, and then activated the [Teroka Storm Bear Armor] skill to summon two storm bear warriors. Before it was over, Zong Shen took out the [Dragon Slaying Epee] and summoned three Avalon fourth-order strong fencers.
A wave of summoned creatures was created directly on the spot, and with a big wave, these summoned warriors rushed towards the position where Faved's two-headed hellhounds were showing their might.
That area will be contracted by the summoned army!
After some auxiliary operations, Zong Shen left directly to the north of the territory. Although this is the position with the largest number of monsters, it is also the position with the most defensive power.
Zong Shen walked directly along the open space in the north of the territory to the west of the territory. He also inserted a few [Healing Guards] to relieve the pressure on the soldiers here. Then, when the time was right, he used the communication crystal to dial the number 9, which is 【 Heavy Combat Puppet] The crystal number used in the body for magic node transmission.
After the connection, the power of the magic energy core began to be transmitted to all parts of the body of the [Heavy Combat Puppet].
The head of the fully enclosed visor of the five-meter-tall combat puppet flashed a red light, like an awakened Cyclops.
"Bah!"
Its mechanical joints spew out streaks of aerodynamic white smoke.
Start to swipe your iron fist at the surrounding crypt monsters!
The armor value of up to 70 points makes most of the crypt monsters unable to break its defense.
Including the gargoyle as well, the thick rune metal shell gives it a strong anti-strike ability.
However, its magic resistance is only 45 points. At present, only those ghost banshees and crypt heroes in the monster group can cause limited damage to [Heavy Combat Puppet].
The most important point is that this guy has a passive skill, the body of a puppet. He has no emotion, is not afraid of pain, ignores ridicule, fear, intimidation, and most other mental and soul control skills.
This makes the most notorious control skill of the ghost banshee "Occupy" useless, and the [Heavy Combat Mecha] is even more like no one, the crypt monster can't beat it, but it Gotta move the crypt monster.
[Heavy Combat Mecha] Waving a heavy iron fist directly on the monster group, the huge mechanical body swayed and moved around, attracting a lot of damage value from the monster group, allowing the frontline warriors to output more calmly.
All the lords who were responsible for guarding the west of the territory looked at Zong Shen with more and more admiration.
Before, they noticed the [Heavy Combat Puppet] that was placed in the open space outside the territory. It was only regarded as a special defensive building. Now the puppet is showing its power, attacking unscrupulously in the crypt monsters, and successfully disrupting it with its own power. Only after seeing that small piece of crypt monster did they understand how sharp Zong Shen's deployment was.
However, Zong Shen did not stop in the west. He also just did some auxiliary work here and walked towards the south.
The southern part of the territory needs to deal with a crypt monster group with a number of about 20,000. Among the monster groups besieging the territory, the smallest one is also the most loosely defended direction in the territory. Zong Shen's main goal is placed here.
The defense forces in other directions are absolutely sufficient, and the speed of strangulation is also very fast. After most of the crypt zombies and fang worms have been wiped out, the rest is the confrontation between those lords and ghost banshees and crypt heroes. .
Until then, it will enter the real white-hot stage.
There will inevitably be some casualties. Zong Shen estimates that about 10% of the personnel will be killed, but Zong Shen has already greeted the soldiers under his command, including the kobolds, in advance.
As soon as there is trouble, they will deal with it carefully, and the soldiers under Zong Shen have obvious advantages in terms of material equipment and combat experience in dealing with crypt monsters.
Zong Shen's requirements for his soldiers are actually very simple, that is, to ensure the safety of his own life, to fight as hard as he can, not to fight uncertain battles, and not to fight aggressively.
Because these are not all battles that should be fought, he still cherishes his soldiers.
As the so-called dead Taoist friends do not die, Zong Shen can put more strength in the battle, and even provide some auxiliary props, but he will not let his subordinates sacrifice their lives.
When Zong Shen came to the south of the territory, it was nearly 20 minutes after the arrival of the regional boss. The ground melee troops cooperated with the long-range troops and then cooperated with fortifications and defensive buildings to make the whole battle quite smooth, especially the [giant turret] ], out of thin air enhances the group attack ability of 20% of the territory.
According to this trend, if it goes well, in another ten to twenty minutes, these crypt monsters around the territory will be completely cleaned up.
There are battles on all sides of the territory. Although the three [Holy Light Towers] can basically cover the periphery of the entire territory, the amount of healing is obviously stretched.
On average, the total healing amount in one minute is around 4800 points, which is indeed biased towards the auxiliary role.
It relieves the pressure of battle, improves the endurance of battle, and makes the warriors who are fighting in melee on the front line more firm. If there are more than a dozen Holy Light Towers, it will be different. The amount of healing can basically maintain the whole body The soldier fought unharmed.
In the south of the territory, there are about 200 lords guarding this place, accounting for one-sixth of the total number of supporting lords in the entire territory, and it is the weakest side in the four directions.
Zong Shen stood outside the southern territory, and also inserted several [Healing Guards] on the front line.
Then he silently took out the two big knives he always kept.
