Chapter 1335 The Discovery of the Ice God
The coalition soldiers of these legions of gods are different from before.
If these soldiers were hit by lightning before, there would be screams and wailing sounds from around them.
After all, except for the one who was directly hit by lightning, those who were affected slightly further away would not be killed directly.
Instead, he fell to the ground, wailing and struggling.
But the scene at this time was too weird.
"What...what's going on? If I saw it correctly just now, the lightning should have hit the wooden pole, right?"
"Yes, I also saw that it hit the wooden pole, and it also spread along the iron chain to the ground below, but how could those soldiers suddenly fall to the ground?"
"I don't know. This is really weird. Have you noticed that when we were on the first line of defense, even if we were struck by lightning, the area affected would only be four to five meters."
"But now the visual range is at least more than ten meters, right? What's even more strange is that all the soldiers of the Divine Legion in that range fell down without making any sound."
"This is not like the first line of defense before. Even if the people in the center were seriously injured immediately, the people around them would always be less injured. They could always scream and howl a few times, right?"
"Yes, even the outermost ones are not wailing or shouting now. This is really weird!"
The envoys of the Inner Domain Mission felt very incredible.
Because this has completely escaped their cognition.
The wooden pole used to be able to prevent lightning when it was the first line of defense, but now it is not only unable to prevent it.
On the contrary, the power of the lightning became even greater.
But the problem is that the thickness and power of the lightning are exactly the same size.
Of course, what is more puzzling than these inner domain missions are the four gods, the God of Waves and the God of War.
At this time, the four gods looked at the battlefield ahead with livid expressions.
"What's going on? Don't you already have chains of wooden stakes to divert lightning?"
"Yes, why did the wooden pole and the iron chain suddenly fail? Even the power of the lightning seemed to have become greater."
"God of Ice, what on earth is going on?"
Several gods were as anxious as ants on a hot pot and immediately looked at the Ice God.
Hopefully the Ice God can explain why.
But the Ice God didn't know much more than them, and he was also confused at this time.
Facing everyone's questions, he could only shake his head blankly, "I...I don't know either!"
"No, lightning is coming again!"
At this moment, the God of Wind suddenly exclaimed.
Because the first lightning flash seemed to have opened Pandora's box.
At this time, the lightning army finally began to wreak havoc.
Tsk! Tsk!
As streaks of white light streaked across the sky, there was a terrifying sharp grinding sound in the sky.
And these lightning bolts were attracted by the erected wooden piles as before.
However, the lightning that was attracted by the wooden pile did not disappear as before. Instead, it strangely caused greater damage to the surroundings.
With every bolt of lightning falling, swarms of soldiers from the Legion of God would fall down around the wooden pole.
After these soldiers fell, they couldn't even scream or howl.
Of course, don’t think that it’s okay if you stay far away from the wooden pole.
Because everyone soon discovered that even if the nearest wooden pole was thirty or fifty meters away, as long as two wooden poles were hit by lightning at the same time, these soldiers would fall down suddenly and never get up again.
"Quick! Let the legion stop attacking and let them retreat!"
At this time, looking at the fallen legionnaires in droves, several gods finally reacted.
Where is this war? This is simply massacre.
If we say that at the first line of defense, the power of lightning only caused losses to the divine army.
But in the current situation, even if millions of soldiers are sent up, they can only fall down inexplicably.
Woohoo!
Soon, an urgent retreat horn sounded at the foot of the mountain.
However, when the horn sounded at this time, it was actually already a step too late.
Because at least one-third of the attacking team has completely entered the second line of defense, that is, they are already among the lightning-drawing wooden stakes.
In this way, they were destined to be unable to run away from those swift lightning bolts.
When the horn sounds, the only ones who can escape are the teams in the rear who have not had time to enter the second line of defense.
As these soldiers retreated, each of the gods counted them, and their faces turned pale in the next moment.
Although less than half, it is definitely more than one-third.
There were only 350,000 troops left out of the 600,000 troops.
In other words, in just a few minutes, 250,000 legionnaires were left above.
If it were placed in other places, even if it was 250,000 pigs, it would take a long time to kill them, but now it is like wasting water, and there is not even a sound.
"This...if I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I would never have believed that this army of more than 200,000 people could be wiped out in just a few minutes."
"Yes, why did the lightning-inducing wooden stake fail? This is incredible!"
"The God of Waves and the other gods must be dumbfounded now. They didn't expect such a result in the end."
"Hey, look, Narant's men over there have opened the door to the second line of defense. Are they searching for the injured?"
"Hey, it seems true, but the God of Waves and others should not dare to act rashly for the time being, right?"
All the envoys from the inner realm were stunned by the previous scene.
Even they have seen all kinds of wars, big and small, but they have never seen anything like this and at such a pace.
While all the inner realm envoys were marveling at this scene, Nalant sent a large number of manpower to search for surviving enemies outside the defense line!
Although the power of the rain and wooden pole chains was amplified, many enemies were actually temporarily knocked unconscious due to the current flowing through their bodies.
After all, all the legionnaires in this second line of defense were not directly struck by lightning, but were indirectly contacted.
There are advantages and disadvantages to indirect contact.
The advantage is that the voltage and current of lightning become stronger, and the attack surface is wider and more comprehensive, ensuring that there is no mistake or omission.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the enemies are knocked down by current and voltage, and there is no burns or high voltage damage caused by direct lightning strikes.
In this way, among the 250,000 people who have fallen now, at least two-thirds have just fainted or lost the ability to move.
If you give them half an hour or more, maybe one-third of them can wake up.
Although it is not certain whether they will be intact by then, at least if they are raised for a while, they will probably be full of life again.
After all, the title knight's vitality is still very strong.
In this way, Nalant took advantage of the situation and directly sent people to carry them back, and then tied them up and took them into custody in advance, which was considered as a prisoner.
Of course, this is just because Nalant is kind.
Otherwise, even if two-thirds of them were not actually killed at this time.
But Narant only needs to let the Lightning Legion continue to bombard for ten minutes, and it is guaranteed that the two-thirds of the fish that have slipped through the net will not be left.
After all, the rainwater on the ground might be heated by the current, not to mention the people lying in the water.
On Nalant's side, it took him half an hour to bring at least 170,000 to 80,000 enemies into the mountains for custody.
At this time, the gods below finally discussed the rules for continuing the attack.
That is to let the team go full attack this time.
That is to say, both the trench area and the wooden wall area in the middle started attacking at the same time.
The reason why such a decision was made was that all the gods had vaguely realized that the scene that had occurred before must have been caused by some factor that they were not aware of.
So, they were ready to see what the difference was.
In fact, the method Nalant used at this time was just a layer of window paper for these gods.
They just haven't thought of the real idea yet.
But I believe that after a while, these gods will definitely react.
Naturally, Nalant had no choice in this matter. This was war.
My enemies are not puppet NPCs. They will not remember or think after suffering pain.
They were very smart. To put it bluntly, they just lacked the most basic knowledge of physics. Otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult for Nalant to fight against them.
Woohoo!
With the sound of the trumpet, the coalition of gods began to attack again.
But this time, the Divine Legion did not increase its strength too much. It also only supplemented the team to the original army of 600,000.
And the distribution of the army this time is also particularly interesting. The number of soldiers on both sides of the trench is at least twice as many as those attacking the wall.
This is because they are worried that if too many soldiers are invested in attacking the wall, they will suffer previous losses.
Moreover, this time the soldiers of the Divine Legion also carried wooden stakes and iron chains used to draw thunder.
After all, these items are very easy to find and are readily available, so it is not troublesome to equip them.
When the army arrived in front of the second line of defense, the divine army once again began to place lightning-inducing wooden stakes on the ground.
After the lightning-inducing wooden stakes were installed, the divine army began to hold up their shields to resist the attack of the opposite flame army.
At the same time, the rear began to pull the carriage and continuously fill the trench with soil.
The divine legions on both sides of the trench defense line were working feverishly, but in the walled area that was the easiest to attack, the divine legions became frightened.
Only 100,000 people were allocated to this area.
Moreover, these 100,000 soldiers of the Divine Legion were divided into two groups to attack.
The first batch of 50,000 people stepped into the puddle and rushed toward the wooden wall with fear.
The other fifty thousand are standing at the first line of defense, waiting for the situation ahead.
"Sir, what should I do? These legions of gods have become smart!"
When Shirley saw this, she immediately showed a worried look.
Nalant said helplessly: "There is no way, the enemy already knows our attack methods, now we can only drag them away first!"
In fact, Nalant can't think of a good solution for the time being.
After all, the enemies have seen his methods. Now that the enemies are on guard, it will be a bit difficult to continue to trick them.
As a result, Nalant could only continue to invest in the Lightning Legion, sending two thousand talented girls to the trenches on both sides.
The girls at the wall continue to rain down lightning.
At the trench, the strong winds were hung, and as for the lightning, Narant let the girls fall again.
Because there are lightning rods on both sides, if there are no puddles, continuing to release lightning will only be a waste of talent.
As the girls began to exert their talents again, two kinds of strange weather soon appeared on the battlefield.
There was a fierce strong wind blowing on both sides, and the strong wind mixed with the mud and sand almost blinded the attacking gods' army.
The arrows that were shot became even more powerless. Instead, the long archers of the Flame Legion had the upper hand. When the arrows were shot, they were like divine help, and their power instantly increased several levels.
When the God of Waves and others saw this, instead of worrying, they all showed expressions of relief.
They now understand that if they want to win Narant, losses are inevitable.
In this way, they can accept it no matter how difficult it is.
As long as there is no previous situation where hundreds of thousands were lost in just a few minutes, it will be fine.
At this time, the 50,000 legion soldiers in the puddle in front of the wall were completely wiped out again without any surprise.
Comparing these two, occasionally killing a few soldiers with arrows is nothing.
"I know, I know what's going on?"
But at this moment, the Ice God suddenly changed his majesty and suddenly screamed.
"What's going on? What do you know?" The God of Waves and several other gods immediately looked at him.
The God of Ice said: "I know why on that second line of defense, our lightning-inducing wooden stakes have no effect, but instead cause the lightning to cause more damage!"
"Oh? Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Several other gods also immediately asked after hearing this.
"It's the rain. Have you seen the rain?"
"When we attacked the first line of defense, there was no rainwater accumulation outside the wall, so our mine-drawing stakes were effective."
"But when we get to the second line of defense, because of the rain, the lightning-inducing wooden stakes are ineffective. I think the water must be able to let the lightning pass through like the iron rope!"
"So, the lightning followed the rain and caused more damage to the soldiers! That must be the case. Also, if you look at it, Narant did not release lightning in the trenches on both sides."
"Why is this? He must know that without the rain, lightning will be ineffective in the face of lightning-inducing wooden stakes, so he simply does not use lightning, but uses strong winds to increase the difficulty of our attack!"
The Ice God excitedly expressed his speculation.
Not to mention, if Nalant were here, he would definitely give the Ice God a big thumbs up, because he really guessed it.
Don't think it's easy.
In this world, electricity only appears in the form of lightning.
So people have no way of knowing which substances are conductive.
Even if it is discovered, it is only by chance, such as iron attracting thunder and lightning.
This is because there is a high probability that iron tools will be placed in high places.
But the problem is that water exists, because it is usually in low-lying areas. If you want to find that water can also conduct electricity, it is many times more difficult than finding that iron can conduct electricity. (End of chapter)
