Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing From a Rundown Yard

Chapter 599 Poisonous Swamp Melee【Subscribe】【5K】

Almost all participating lords brought high-ranking warriors from the bottom of the box.

Therefore, the actual combat effectiveness of this team should not be underestimated.

When they took the potion and entered the Poison Mist Swamp, they immediately attracted the attention of all the surrounding lords.

The Poison Mist Marsh has always been a mysterious and dangerous place in the southern part of the region.

In the case of acting alone or in a small group, the lords dare not rush into it.

This time, the situation is completely different from the previous one. The strength that can be exerted by more than two hundred lords after forming a group is absolutely not to be underestimated.

The power of the lord to hold the group gradually began to show.

This is why Zong Shen's strength is already so strong, and he has to be careful not to be coveted by other lords, especially the mine, which makes him worry.

If the mine is exposed and the lords come in a group, it will be a lot of trouble for Zong Shen.

After all, the mine is not like the territory with hundreds of defensive arrow towers, and even incomplete wonders.

Zongshen's territory has formed a preliminary defense system.

From defensive arrow towers of various levels to sentry towers with anti-stealth capabilities, and magical inspection dogs.

Then to the [Pillar of Red Gold Barrier (Gold)], which can support a large-scale shield, and the [Leiyu Wonder (Incomplete)], which has a large-scale killing ability, such a comprehensive defense formation of multiple units.

In order to build the defensive buildings of the territory, he also spent a lot of effort.

So he was not worried that the lords would attack the territory in a group.

Not to mention the lords, even if the aboriginal forces want to attack his territory, they have to weigh it carefully.

He couldn't devote the same amount of effort to the defense of the mines.

In line with the principle that blocking is worse than sparse, it is the best result to hide the mine well.

At least a few months had to be delayed for him to develop.

Among them, Zong Shen was most concerned about the lord's grouping.

Today, the [Legion] forces in the area have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Except for a few large legions, including the [Guide Legion], most legions are very small in size.

Just a few or even a dozen people.

In addition to the big crisis that must be faced together, there are only some huge benefits that can prompt the lords to spontaneously form a group.

Once the mines in the area are exposed, it is obviously a very attractive factor.

Now Zongshen's mine has not been exposed, but the poisonous marsh in the south has brought the lords together first.

There are more than 2,000 lords plus 1,780 soldiers.

But after all, it is only loose cooperation, lacking a commander and backbone.

It is impossible to coordinate the warriors of all types and ranks to form warrior squads or even squadrons.

All lords basically have their own soldiers.

There are also small groups mixed in.

Basically three or five people.

These people have known each other before.

The recent large-scale challenge events not only mobilized the enthusiasm of the lords.

It also promoted social activities among the lords.

Most lords have more or less "friends".

Such a "friend" relationship is not necessarily strong, but it is enough to maintain a shallow social relationship.

The small groups in the team today have grown out of such shallow relationships.

The largest small group here consists of sixteen or seventeen lords.

The leader was a middle-aged yellow lord with a beard.

It seems that he should be in his thirties, and it can be said that he is the first batch of lords who have come to the standard.

He has great prestige in small groups.

The dozen or so lords around him were all around him.

There are blacks and whites.

In the endless continent, different skin colors, different hair colors, and different ethnic characteristics are no longer important.

This is especially true when all the lords have mastered the common language of the continent by default.

After the shackles of language are broken, lords can communicate without barriers.

Of course, in addition to language, there are differences in living habits, cultural traditions, etc., which can only be resolved by time.

At this moment, the group of people spread out over a width of 200 meters and headed towards the Poison Mist Swamp.

In addition to the messy footsteps, there are all kinds of whispers.

Everyone was talking in private.

In this small group, a young black lord with thick lips was the first to be unable to hold back and walked to the bearded lord.

"Zhang, do you really say there are treasures in the swamp?"

"It's not the caller who is lying to us, is it?"

"I spent a lot of resources in order to buy anti-venom."

"If there are no treasures in the poisonous swamp, the little flame demons alone are not enough for us."

"All of us are here for you."

The black lord asked in a low voice with some concern.

I saw the bearded lord grinning, and arrogantly stretched his arms around the shoulders of the black lord.

"Don't worry, Mu Toto, we Lao Zhang don't lie."

"I have been observing the Poison Mist Swamp for a long time."

"I also ventured deep into it a few days ago. In addition to the swamp, there are ruins here."

"But there are also very powerful monsters in it."

The bearded lord leaned into his ear and said.

"A very powerful monster?"

"Are those big crocodiles?"

The black lord was aroused and asked quickly.

The bearded lord who claimed to be Lao Zhang shook his head, his expression became a little more serious, and he shook his head gently.

"No, those monsters are like lizards in their lower bodies and human-like in their upper bodies."

"We should meet in a while."

"We just stay in the middle of the team, don't run around, don't rush to the front."

The old man warned in a low voice.

The black lord seemed very convinced of Lao Zhang and nodded quickly.

After he finished speaking, Lao Zhang stopped talking, took out a long spear with his backhand, and followed the army.

The front end of the 200-meter row that the entire team had drawn quickly entered the poisonous swamp.

They were like small specks, gradually being swallowed up by a pale green poisonous mist.

Disappeared from the sight of the lord outside.

After entering the poisonous marsh area, the scenery in front of them became different again, and the visibility was higher than they thought.

This shows that the poisonous fog covering the entire swamp is mainly to deceive people.

Blocks prying eyes from the outside.

The swamp was muddy, the ground was damp, and the soil was dark and rotten.

Everyone dared not breathe to their heart's content, although the poisonous mist no longer affected the vision inside.

But it's still everywhere.

Because they can feel the tingling in their throats with every breath they take.

There was even a faint sense of dizziness.

In order to save money, most lords buy Tier 3 anti-venoms.

According to some "Dog Bold" lords who have entered the outer swamp, the poisonous mist is exactly the third order.

But in fact, the third-order antidote is still a little bit poisonous.

But everyone has already come in, so there is no reason to leave so easily.

So everyone took the initiative to reduce the breathing rate, which can reduce the negative impact of the poisonous mist on the body, let alone more than 2,000 people, even if more than 2,000 cattle and horses breathe at the same time, they can stir the airflow. At this time, The light green fog above is slowly surging.

There was silence in the Poisonous Swamp, only the sound of gurgles of clear and shallow water could be heard.

Some lords sent their wolves and night huntresses to serve as scouts.

In swampy terrain, both coyotes and panthers are more agile than ordinary horses.

The large troop was moving slowly, and everyone looked around with vigilant eyes.

The ground is muddy and difficult to walk, and if you stay for a while, your legs will slowly sink.

Soon, they saw the ruins of the ruins rumored by the outside world.

- Rows of jagged ruins stand on the ground.

A thick layer of dirt had already been attached to the surface, and dark green moss had grown.

After seeing the ruins, everyone's hearts were overjoyed, as if they saw the hope of treasure hunting.

Every once in a while, the lords can find a small Balrog in the swamp.

The large army went five or six hundred meters deep into the swamp like this.

It wasn't until the wolf cavalry and huntress scouts dispatched first were attacked, and the lords who dispatched the scouts saw the corresponding prompts and informed everyone, and then they realized something was wrong!

It is a pity that such a large team does not have a unified commander.

The situation of fighting each other is almost a foregone conclusion.

Even the delivery of the attack news was extremely chaotic.

The lords in the front row who were the first to know the news stepped back.

The lords in the middle were unable to advance or retreat.

The last lord didn't know what happened.

Some people shouted, some people sent private chats, and some people sent them directly to the [regional channel].

By the time the lord in the back row reacted, the front had already been attacked.

The fog in front of them became extremely solid, like a fog wall quickly pressing towards everyone.

No one knew what was hidden behind the foggy wall.

"Shhhhhh!"

Soon the fog wall was close to within 100 meters.

With the sound of breaking wind, hundreds of crossbow bolts shot out from the fog wall.

It was followed by dozens of blood-red magic bullets.

These attacks are uniform and clearly come prepared.

The thick fog was swayed by some gaps in the trajectory of the airflow.

From these gaps, there are figures with red scales...

These ranged attacks quickly hit the front row.

The 200-meter-long army was like a square living target.

"Puff puff!"

"Bang!"

"boom!"

"Ugh!"

The crisp sound of the crossbow bolt penetrating the armor, the muffled sound of penetrating the flesh, and the roar of the magic bomb exploded, resounding in the front row.

Accompanied by these voices, there are shrill screams and screams.

Humanity's greatest fear comes from the unknown.

The light green poisonous fog wall blocked their vision, making it impossible for them to judge who the enemy was and how many there were!

A sparse long-range counterattack began to appear in the large force.

Or arrows or magic.

It's a pity that these long-range attacks are hard to come by because of the lack of unified command.

Most of the lords were barely able to keep their composure.

After all, it has been almost a month since they came, and the previous challenges and many battles have given them some courage to face the crisis.

However, there are still a small number of timid lords who even try to retreat and escape.

Holding a group can allow the lords to achieve an upgrade in combat power.

However, in the absence of command and operational discipline, it is extremely easy to rout.

Especially when there is a runaway in the team.

These runaways will make the team chaotic, and the fighting spirit that has finally been gathered will quickly disappear.

Just as the team gradually became chaotic, there was also a situation in the rear.

Those pale green hazes are like mysterious ghosts.

I don't know when it started, but a thick wall of poisonous fog appeared behind!

Accompanying the wall of poisonous mist are spears that represent death.

The rear of the team was another riot!

All the lords know, they are surrounded!

Due to the obstruction of vision by the fog wall, they could not quickly observe the trail and number of the enemy.

But after the retreat disappeared, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused instead.

There are enemies forward, and there are enemies backward!

There is no way forward, only a desperate fight.

So the lords spontaneously divided into two groups and attacked the front and rear fog walls respectively.

All kinds of bowmen and mages took the lead.

Arrows, crossbow bolts, and magic bullets blazed out, more powerful than the attacks inside the foggy walls.

As the so-called random fist kills the old master, this is the truth.

The number advantage is here, and when everyone starts to give it a go, the combined attack strength is also terrible.

But the fog wall has been advancing.

Until everyone launched an effective counterattack, the front and rear fog walls were all within 30 meters.

At this time, some third-order mages began to show their power.

The third-order group attack magic was displayed one after another.

In the Poison Mist Swamp, anomalies suddenly appeared.

A red magic circle appeared in the sky, and fire and rain magic washed the earth.

Dozens of cyan curved wind blades swept out.

Earthquakes tremble, and the ground rises or sinks.

The vines grow wildly, like tentacles inserted into the foggy wall.

The turbid water waves turned into waves and washed away!

These are the masterpieces of the various masters.

In this environment, the effect of fire magic is the most outstanding.

Whether it is a fireball, fire rain or fire tornado, it can evaporate the poisonous mist.

These fire magic scrapers can easily cut a piece of fog wall.

A large area of ​​damage values ​​popped up densely.

After the baptism of magic, those melee soldiers, wolf cavalry, and huntresses launched an assault.

At the same time, the red-scale kobold warriors in the fog wall also charged with bone shields or vine shields.

"jijiji!"

These red-scaled kobolds screeched and moved quickly.

There were one or two arrows inserted into the simple homemade shields in their hands, as well as the cracks left by the explosion of the magic bomb. Many kobold warriors had one or two arrows inserted into their bodies.

However, the red scales on their bodies are very tough, and the arrows are not deeply inserted, which basically does not affect their movements.

These redscale kobold warriors are taller and stronger than the average crypt kobold.

They have sharp horns and a spiky tail behind them.

Although called kobolds, they are not like dogs.

Instead, there is a bit of the ferocity of dragon-like creatures.

The more than 300 red-scaled kobold warriors in front charged directly.

In the fog behind them, the red-scaled kobold crossbowmen and the red-scaled kobold prophets lay on the ground one after another, and while reducing their attacks, they quickly returned fire.

With a huge disparity in the number of enemies and friends, the competition for long-range power becomes extremely important.

Under such circumstances, those red-scale kobold warriors were prepared to die.

For every extra minute they gain for the rear, the disadvantage will be reduced by one point.

When the red-scale kobold warriors launched the assault, the Hyenamen warriors in the rear also launched a charge.

These guys are like big lizards, crawling very fast.

The spear projected just now is also their masterpiece.

Now they are still holding a war spear in their hands, and they are holding them in front of them.

Coupled with the fast crawling lower limbs, the swamp couldn't stop them from moving.

Just like that, he charged at the lords behind with his spear.

Behind these hyenamen, there are one or two hundred slough crocodiles crawling behind them.

A fierce battle begins!

The movement in the swamp also attracted the attention of the lords who were watching outside.

Even standing a few hundred meters outside the Poison Mist Swamp, one could hear the screams and screams coming from it.

And the sound of an explosion that can set off a wave of air.

The light green poisonous mist shrouded in the outside is surging violently.

I heard the news of the attack on the [regional channel] outside.

There was a lot of discussion for a while.

But no one dared to go deeper into it.

Under the unspoken rule of interests above, everyone adheres to the principle of "fight you, and I will eat the meat".

Only people with hard brains will go in and get a kick when they are fighting hard.

If this is bad luck, I'm afraid it will be cold as soon as you enter.

It was at this time that Jiang Yi rushed to the periphery of Poison Marsh with a small team of soldiers.

She asked other teams to kill Little Flame Demon, and deliberately left a team to follow her.

The movement in the Poison Mist Swamp made her a little worried.

Except for Zong Shen, no one knows the internal situation better than her.

But there's not much she can do, except to open the [regional channel] from time to time to see the news sent by the lords in the poisonous marsh, and just stay outside and watch.

The fight lasted longer than she imagined.

More than half an hour passed quickly, and the momentum from it became smaller, and it was obviously drifting away.

This shows that the lords have gradually entered the interior.

During this period, dozens of scheming lords who had prepared anti-poison potions in advance but did not form a group entered the Poison Mist Swamp, but never came out.

Jiang Yi nervously pinched the communication crystal.

Prepare to wait until those lords advance to the depths of the marsh, or when the momentum of the battle disappears, to report to Zong Shen.

The battle continued for another half an hour, and dozens of lords began to retreat with their remnants of defeated soldiers one after another.

As soon as these lords swayed out of the poisonous fog, they were immediately surrounded by onlookers.

Some lords onlookers outside wanted to take advantage of them.

But more lords are more concerned about the battle situation inside the Poison Mist Swamp.

They even took the initiative to provide these lords who left the Poison Marsh with potions that could restore their state!
