Chapter 2925 Enemy on Both Sides

The local Dikte Laval was originally a level 20 "Black Knight", but after being transformed into a "Death Knight", his strength increased dramatically, reaching the legendary level.

Joan reckoned that Laval singled out Lord Trim of Winterhold, at least he would not lose the wind, so he turned around and waved goodbye to Haakon and others, spread his wings and flew to the front line, casting spells to block the army of Winterhold that was launching an offensive from the ground.

The position on the west side of Shizhu Town is facing unprecedented severe pressure at this time.

Trim received the news that the Laval Corps launched an offensive in advance, and immediately urged his troops to march quickly, and they drove 70 miles away within two hours. The speed of the attack exceeded Slude's expectations before the battle.

At this time, most of the defenders of Shizhu Town were concentrated on the south side, fighting fiercely with the cultists, orcs, and evil plants who were still stubbornly resisting, and the troops deployed on the west side of the defense line were seriously insufficient.

Thousands of snow monsters and no fewer than 3,000 dire wolves are galloping across the plains. Among the herds are many winter wolves spewing cold currents, mutated snow monsters that look like moving hills, and farther away, fully armed and riding horses. The frost giant warriors of the Raptor Dragon gathered together to form a torrent and swept over.

Seeing this scene, the defenders on the west side couldn't help being frightened.

At the critical juncture, Haakon led the "Knights of Armor" to rush to support, and a hundred "steel cavalry" stood at the front of the position, forming a steel defense line together.

Each "steel cavalry" is equipped with 10 grenadiers behind it, who skillfully set up grenadiers and throw grenades at the herd two miles away.

Thousands of gray-haired wolves and snow monsters spread out across the field, like a floating sea of ​​snow. When the grenade exploded among the herd, the splashing flesh and blood bloomed like scarlet waves in the sea of ​​snow.

The crazy herd continued to gallop against the bombardment, and soon approached within one mile of the position.

Haakon ordered all armored knights to "fire" through the "airborne magic broadcast", and a hundred "steel cavalry" fired at almost the same time. Row of wolves torn to shreds.

The offensive of the Winterhold Corps was contained, but the sound of horns in the distance heralded an ominous omen.

More wolves and snow monsters are rushing towards the defenders' position. The armor knights have consumed more than half of their ammunition. Haakon and his comrades can only hold on for another quarter of an hour before they can only throw down the magic crystal cannon and replace it with a large The saber fights the enemy hand to hand.

The biggest advantage of the "Steel Cavalry" is its long-range firepower. If they are forced into hand-to-hand combat, they are actually not much stronger than the Mutant Yeti or the Frost Giant.

Even though the mechanical armor is thick and its own defense is strong, it cannot stop the enemy army from rushing into the position. The weak infantry behind them will become the prey of the ferocious beasts and frost giants. Even if they can finally repel the enemy army, they will pay a heavy price. casualties, and this is obviously not the result Haakon would like to see.

The "wing cavalry" and giant eagle aviation led by Slude are fighting with Trim's White Dragon Guard in the air, and have no time to provide support for the ground position. Haakon can only pin his hopes on Joan, counting on this genius The mage managed to stall the Winterhold army.

With only half an hour's delay, the main force of Shizhu Town can end the battle on the south side and coordinate with the defenders on the west side to launch a counterattack, annihilating the Winterhold Corps in one fell swoop.

In Haakon's memory, Joan was almost omnipotent, and he had reason to believe that he would not disappoint him this time.

Just as Haakon expected, soon four flaming meteorites fell from the sky and hit the area where the herds of beasts gathered one after another, bursting into the sky with fire and smoke, the earth roared for a long time, and the wolf and snow could be faintly heard Strange howling.

The massive "Meteor Explosion" shattered the enemy's arrogance and greatly boosted the morale of the defenders, but Joan himself was not satisfied with the killing effect caused by the spell.

Four meteorites were summoned in a single cast, and less than forty enemies were killed or seriously injured. This result fully demonstrated the shortcomings of "Meteor Burst", the "strongest" evocation magic in name.

The lethality of "Meteor Burst" is as high as 40 energy levels, and the bombing range of the four meteorites adds up to 15,000 square feet. The paper data looks very beautiful, but unfortunately the performance in actual combat is often not satisfactory.

The biggest problem with this spell is that the process from the appearance of the meteorite to its fall is too slow. The fall time is about 6 seconds. If the enemies on the ground are not crawling at a slow speed, or are frightened and stunned there, there is no time to run away. .

When the meteorite fell, there were not many people running near the point of impact, and the actual killing effect was naturally not as exaggerated as the grand scene of the meteor falling.

"'Meteor Burst' is suitable for destroying ground structures, but it's not a good idea to use it against highly mobile dire wolves and snow monsters."

Joan spread out two pairs of bee wings, suspended in the air, and muttered to himself overlooking the battlefield on the ground.

Is there any other magic or tactic that is more suitable than "Meteor Burst" to efficiently slaughter the enemy's vital forces?

Joan first thought of "Frostwind Witch" Katerina's unique supernatural ability "Advanced Freezing Halo".

In the battle against the invasion of the conquest sect in the Algonquin Valley, he used this trick with "myth distraction" and transformation magic to conjure seven "frost wind witches" in one breath, and at the same time opened the "advanced freezing halo" ", massacred countless goblins.

In fact, there is still room for strengthening this set of tactics. For example, with "Mythical Radiation", the radiation radius of the "Advanced Freezing Aura" can be expanded from 60 feet to 120 feet. Suitable for massacring enemy troops on the battlefield.

However, most of the men and horses in Winterhold are creatures of the cold subspecies, and the "Advanced Frozen Halo" is ineffective against snow monsters, winter wolves, and frost giants. If this strategy is adopted, Joan will have to make some adjustments, such as cooperating with the mythical path The ability "Advanced Energy Replacement" switches the attribute of "Advanced Frozen Aura" to Fire, and becomes "Advanced Burning Aura", thus causing double damage to enemies with cold subtype physique.

This idea seems to be good, and Joan was about to put it into action, when an unusually cold current blew in the air suddenly, and the "early warning ring" on his hand also issued a prompt in time.

Perhaps it was because the "Meteor Burst" that was released just now was so spectacular that it startled five white dragons, which were encircling him from different directions.

Joan recited the mantra silently, and successively blessed himself with "Arcane Surge" and "Mythic Acceleration" enhanced by the No. 19 rune Ehwaz, greatly increasing the casting speed, mobility and agility attributes, waiting for the group of clumsy The evil dragon came to die.
