Mage Joan

Chapter 761: Tactics

Spell expansion is a very practical super magic skill.

Adding this kind of super magic skill to a spell requires the price of increasing the level 1 spell level, and the benefit is to double the value of the spell's range of action!

For example, the 3rd-level "fireball", the normal killing range is a spherical area with a radius of 20 feet.

After the addition of "Spell Expansion", it will be upgraded to level 4. The other functions of this "Super Magical Fireball" remain the same, except that the killing range is expanded to a spherical area with a radius of 40 feet!

As for those spells that have no coverage, such as "Magic Missile", they will not be affected by "Spell Expansion".

Joan dipped his pen into the ink and quickly copied the "Spell Expansion", completing today's research work.

Put away the table, chairs and stationery, yawned big, wrapped in a blanket, and fell asleep soundly after a while.

...

Joan slept until the next morning, got up to prepare the spell, and returned to the dwarf's tent.

In the tent, a sumptuous breakfast has been prepared.

Joan met up with his companions and filled his stomach with hot creamy mushroom soup and ham bread under the warm hospitality of Uncle Klein.

Joan was worried about being drunk again, but he didn't see any alcoholic drinks on the table.

This is really a bit abnormal for a dwarf who is addicted to alcohol.

After inquiring from Klein, Joan learned that the prospecting team has a rule that alcohol is not allowed during breakfast and lunch on weekdays.

Now that "workday" was mentioned, Klein took advantage of the opportunity to bring up the topic of prospecting work.

The dwarf prospecting team is currently encountering a major obstacle in the exploration of the Qingbing vein, which is the large group of frost lizards entrenched in the depths of the mine.

These monsters covered in ice armor and exuding cold air are very difficult to deal with and pose a great threat to the miners.

If they want to continue to explore the mine veins and collect ores, they must try to eliminate this group of frost lizards that are in the way.

According to Scholz's investigation, there are no less than thirty or forty frost lizards living in the mine.

The total number of members of the prospecting team is twice that of the Frost Lizard, but the combat effectiveness of ordinary dwarf miners is far from that of the Frost Lizard. Let alone two against one, even ten against one may not be sure of victory.

The Frost Lizard has two magic weapons, one is the indestructible "Frost Armor", and the other is the "Frozen Aura" that radiates the surrounding 20-foot space.

In the prospecting team, only Klein and Scholz have magic weapons that can penetrate the "Frost Armor".

The weapons held by the other dwarf miners are just ordinary steel products. Even with all their strength, it is difficult to cause fatal damage to the frost lizard with ice armor.

What's more, the "frozen aura" emanating from the frost lizard's body will also cause continuous cold damage to any creature within twenty feet of it.

Joan used "Blood Interpretation" yesterday to study the magic imprint of "Frozen Reiki", and by the way, made a detailed calculation of the lethality of this supernatural attack.

According to his calculation results, if a dwarf lacks protection against cold-type magic, then when he is within the radiation range of the "frozen aura", he will suffer an energy level of cold damage every four seconds on average.

Calculated in this way, even if the Frost Lizard didn't take the initiative to attack, but just stood quietly, those dwarves who were too close to it would be frozen into ice sculptures within a minute or two.

After listening to Joan's analysis, Klein and Scholz's expressions were very heavy.

Their dwarven miners are useless in this battle against the frost lizards.

To put it bluntly, as many people as possible die.

Even powerful dwarf warriors like Klein and Scholz couldn't last long in the face of the "frozen aura" attack.

On this point, Scholz's encounter in the mine yesterday is a bloody lesson learned from the past.

At that time, he was besieged by three frost lizards, and after barely sustaining for a few rounds, he was frozen unconscious.

If it weren't for Klein's desperate protection, and Joan and others rushed to the rescue in time, I'm afraid they would have become the prey of the frost lizard.

Even team leaders like Klein and Scholz have nothing to do with it, so how should the dwarf prospecting team solve this problem?

After finally discovering the Qingbing vein, it is one step away from realizing the dream of getting rich, and no one is willing to give up just like that.

"Brother Joan, you and your friends are spellcasters, is there any way to fight the frost lizard?"

"If you can help my brother solve this problem, you will definitely have a share of the mine's income!"

Klein's solemn promise made Joan and the others feel alive.

Whether out of friendship or self-interest, they all have an incentive to help the dwarves against the frost lizards.

Money benefits, like a stimulant, made Hailaer's blood boil and his mind become unprecedentedly active.

"It's actually not difficult to deal with frost lizards. I have a good idea!"

Holden looked at her in surprise, a little unbelievable.

"Of all of us, Joan has the smartest mind. Joan hasn't spoken yet, so you have an idea?"

"Why, can't I be smarter occasionally?" Hailar was very displeased.

"It's not...Miss Caimi, I'm worried that you are eager to make money, and you haven't considered the problem thoroughly enough."

"It's not comprehensive, and it's hard to tell now. Let's listen to Hailar first." Audrey laughed.

"No problem! I will speak out my own ideas first, and if something is wrong, everyone will help to improve it."

Hailar's strategy is actually not new at all, it is to copy the tactics that everyone used when they were exploring Spider Valley.

The core idea of ​​this tactic is to consolidate the defense and advance steadily.

"First, we need to build a 'shelter hut' in the mine pit as a frontline fortress."

"The refuge hut is best placed in an open area extending in all directions. In this way, it is very convenient for us to take the initiative to attack and retreat quickly."

"Furthermore, releasing the 'fireball technique' in an open space will not cause the risk of mine collapse."

"The refuge hut is set up, Joan is responsible for staying in the hut, and the others bless the 'cold barrier' to form an advance team to go deep into the mine to explore."

"If you encounter a single frost lizard on the way, the members of the advance team will take action together and quickly deal with it!"

"If they are besieged by a large group of frost lizards, the advance team must resolutely turn back the same way and withdraw to the shelter."

"If the retreat is blocked, you must ask Uncle Klein to make a move, use the 'any door', and lead your teammates to jump out of the encirclement."

"After the advance team retreats to the hut, the frost lizards are likely to follow them."

"Don't worry, the refuge hut has an impenetrable force field shield, and neither the minions of the frost lizard nor the supernatural cold can harm the people in the house."

"If the frost lizards besiege the hut, it is doomed to be in vain."

"During this period, we can rest and heal our injuries at home, recharge our spirits, and then find an opportunity to go out and fight back!"

"Just attack like this, lure the enemy, rest, and repeat the cycle... In less than a day, we can wipe out all the frost lizards in the mine!"
