Chapter 78 The Interrupted Duel
Faced with the huge foot that suddenly fell, I almost rolled out of the area with my feet. But as soon as I rolled out of this area, I felt a huge shock wave. Just after I rolled out, I was shocked back again before I could stand up. He fell to the ground, and his head felt dizzy!
"Damn war trample!" Although my mind was confused, I could still figure out this extremely famous battlefield skill.
"Master, be careful!" I was still dazed and suddenly felt like I was being teleported out. It turned out that the phantom was controlling my body. Almost as soon as I was teleported away, a huge ivory nearly half a meter thick suddenly swept across the place where I had just been lying, and even a layer of the ground was scraped off.
"Fuck, crows can actually find heavily armored mammoths, it's so fucking unreasonable!" I complained while getting up and quickly distanced myself from those large and small creatures. However, this is obviously not the first time that these creatures have cooperated with crows to use this trick to trick people. As soon as I got up, I saw a bolt of lightning falling from above my head. I was forced to dodge urgently, but the direction of the lightning was very dangerous. Most of my dodge directions were blocked. After dodging, I helplessly found that I was within the mammoth's attack range again.
Without giving me any time to react, a huge nose swept over me immediately. In desperation, I had no choice but to do a forward roll and fly over the nose. However, as soon as I hit the ground, there was another war trample, It almost knocked me down.
"Damn, this bastard Crow is not good at frontal strength, but Yin Ren is pretty good!" After getting up from the ground, I suddenly found a skeleton wearing a black rag cloak and holding a sickle flying towards me. I instantly recognized that this was an upgraded version of the Eidolon King - the God of Law Enforcement Death.
Although the Law Enforcement Death God is also a God of Death, his level is slightly lower than that of the God of Death. However, these guys have very terrifying combat capabilities, especially their exaggerated skills. Once entangled by them, it will be difficult to escape. Seeing this Death God flying towards me, I had to use the teleportation skill that had just passed its cooldown time to fly behind it. Who knew that the damn Law Enforcement Death God suddenly turned around and flashed its eyes.
"Damn it! It's a death stare!" I felt a chill instantly spread all over my body along my eyes. Immediately afterwards, his feet and hands lost all feeling, as if he had no hands or feet at all.
The God of Death who succeeded in the attack did not rush up to attack. On the contrary, it suddenly flew up. I was originally wondering what he was going to do, but after looking at his back, I realized that he was going to create an opportunity for his companions to attack. The God of Death's skills are indeed very powerful, but the God of Death's direct attack power is not outstanding, so after using the skill to block my movement, the God of Death took the initiative to give up the attack position to his companion, the giant war mammoth.
Although our defense is very high, being hit by something like a siege tank is no joke. I had previously experimented with the familiar mammoth of a lucky member of the guild. If I don't use special skills, this creature can completely deplete my health with only five effective attacks. Of course, I have a guardian collar that can use the magic pet's vitality to survive, but in this calculation, I will still suffer a loss. So it's better not to be touched.
Seeing the mammoth rushing over like a tank, a black whirlwind suddenly rose under my feet. When the whirlwind passed over my head, the bottom of the whirlwind below began to leave the ground, but as the whirlwind rose, a black whirlwind appeared below. But it is no longer a domineering dragon suit but the hem of a rainbow-like robe.
Mammoths are not intelligent creatures. In terms of strength, he may have some advantages, but in terms of intelligence, he is a real weakling. He didn't show any reaction to my sudden change of image, but continued to rush forward, hoping to trample me into a meat pie at once. However, as the whirlwind rolled over my head, even the idiot-like mammoth spotted me. has changed. The gorgeous rainbow robe under the shining crystal diamond armor of the oath suit was flying and fluttering automatically without wind, and my appearance and the weapons in my hands had also undergone earth-shaking changes, except for the people who were particularly familiar with me. It's almost impossible to quickly recognize that this is another account of mine.
Although he was stunned for a moment. But the mammoth's charge was not interrupted, and the nearby crow's familiar did not give up and continue to attack. They just thought I used some illusion-like skill, but they didn't know that this person was no longer the same me just now.
I pointed forward lightly. A black space door suddenly opened in front of me, and a golden lion-like creature suddenly rushed out of the black space door. The little lion almost caught wind after leaving the space door. When he landed, he had grown into a golden giant beast not much smaller than a mammoth.
"Roar..." After a roar, Gangya rushed towards the charging mammoth and collided with him, making a loud noise like the earth was shaking. Although Gangya didn't gain any advantage in his first collision, he was a mythical beast after all, and his body was based on a carnivore, so his combat power was far beyond that of a grass-eating mammoth. As soon as the two sides collided and stopped, the steel teeth suddenly flashed to the side of the mammoth like lightning, and then bit him on the neck. Two fangs more than one foot long cut into the mammoth's neck fiercely. In an instant, most of the muscle connections were cut off. As Gang Ya fiercely moved his body forward, his neck was pressed forward. With just a few clicks and bangs, the mammoth's neck was finally completely broken by Gang Ya, and its huge head fell limply. It drooped on the shoulders and there was no response.
After breaking the mammoth's neck, Gangya released his mouth and stood on the mammoth's body lying on the ground with his two front legs. Then he raised his head to the sky and let out a deep and deep roar. The sound made all low-level creatures near the battlefield flinch. Don't dare to move forward, this is the power of the king. The overwhelming mythical beast is far beyond what the mammoth, which relies solely on muscle power to fight, can handle.
After instantly knocking down the mammoth with the strongest damage output, Gangya once again focused his attention on a giant snake in front of him. The snake instinctively raised its upper body completely in a posture ready to attack, but a sudden appearance of a figure interrupted the battle that was about to begin. In fact, this person didn't come here willingly.
Crow just used a special skill to switch my position with him and took advantage of knowing what was about to happen in advance. However, he still underestimated the combat power of my demon pet. The figure that flew over just now was Crow himself. As soon as he passed between my demon pets, he launched a surprise attack. Unfortunately, he directly bumped into the nearest Yeyue. As a result, not only did his attack fail, but he was surrounded by all the demon pets. . In the end, a lucky tail swipe completely eliminated the threat of the crow and slapped him back.
The sudden appearance of the crow emptied all my demon pets, so my demon pet immediately rushed into the crowd of crows' demon pets and launched a group attack, and naturally I went directly to the crow.
"How dare you trick me? Let's see if you die this time." I held the staff and flew directly in front of the crow and said viciously.
Crow was badly hurt by Lucky's slap just now. He couldn't react for a moment. He covered his chest and looked at me and asked, "Beauty, why do you want to help Zi Ri? I don't seem to have offended you, right?" Crow actually Didn't recognize me!
"What did you call me?" The thing I hate the most is someone treating me like a woman, especially someone I hate.
"Beauty!" Crow looked at me with confusion and pain, not knowing why I was angry.
"How dare you insult me, you bastard!" I angrily slammed my staff on the ground, and a ring of flames immediately swept across the ground. The crow's body was instantly coated with a layer of flames, which made the guy crawl and dodge backwards, but the flames had already burned on it, and it would not be easy to get rid of it.
"Master, don't move, I'll help you put out the fire!" One of the crow's duck-like magic pets shouted at the crow.
"Don't even think about it." Lucky rushed up from the side, hugged the giant duck, rolled over and disappeared.
"Master, be careful." I was feeling proud that my crow's demon pet was knocked down by Lucky. Suddenly I heard Ling's shout. Unfortunately, I was a little slow to turn around. I didn't know who kicked me in the back of my butt, and then the whole person flew away like a cannonball. go out.
"I'm here to save you." The bird rushed over like lightning to catch me. Unfortunately, a pillar of flame suddenly spurted out from the ground, and the flying bird had to turn around to avoid it. Fortunately, I could fly myself, and after doing dozens of somersaults in the sky, I finally spread my wings and stabilized my movements.
"Master, be careful." The prompt appeared again and I had to activate the teleportation. However, after the teleportation was over, I realized that it was not my demon pet that was shouting but the crow's demon pet that was reminding him to avoid the plague's attack. However, the battlefield was too chaotic and we misunderstood. The person who should be hiding did not avoid me, but I teleported stupidly.
After playing in vain for a moment, I wanted to go back to find the crow to settle accounts, but who knew that a real red voice suddenly came from behind. "Boss, be careful, the front line of defense has been penetrated!"
"What?" I flapped my wings fiercely and flew high into the sky to look ahead. I saw a gap in the defense line composed of zombies summoned by the Lich, and many enemies were rushing through the gap towards the city wall. It's fine for me to deal with the crows by myself, but I can't stop the enemy troops attacking the city, right? It's not that I'm afraid of these soldiers, but because there are too many of them. I can't let them waste my peak strength here, right? After confirming the situation, I put my fingers in my mouth and whistled loudly, and my magic pet turned back to look at me. "The situation is not good, get out of the way first."
Ling Di reacted the fastest, and immediately a black lightning struck the enemy in front of him, turning around and reaching a hundred meters away. Fortunately, they were being entangled by the enemy and could not escape. Suddenly, they saw white meteors starting to fall from the sky. These white meteors were small in size and dim in light, but their speed was very fast. However, the crow and I The magic pets soon discovered that these meteors were targeted. They would automatically avoid my magic pet and look for the crow's magic pet to hit.
When Ling saw that no one had any reaction, he shouted: "What are you doing standing still? I'll help you drag the enemies away and quickly dodge." Only when we heard this voice did we realize that it was Ling who was supporting the magic.
"Flash, flash, flash." I shouted loudly, and with the help of meteors, the demon pets quickly broke away from the enemies around them and ran towards the city. Crow wanted to catch up and take advantage. But when he saw me standing in front of them with golden light shining like a little sun, he had no choice but to give up. With his strength, even if he charged into my sun domain, it would be in vain. Even if you are lucky enough to attack me, don't expect to take advantage.
Since there was no hope of pursuit, the crow simply took away his magic pet and disappeared invisibly. After I entered the city, I immediately said to Ashford: "My lich has been blocking you for so long, it's time to let your people move around."
Ashford didn't say anything, and directly moved his troops to the front line of the city wall for defense. Since the zombie defense line set up by the lichs in front has not completely disappeared, and there are always people falling on the battlefield, the enemy's attack is not as fierce as before. The scattered enemies that rushed over were all targeted by archers. If there were a large group of enemies close together, they would immediately be attacked by heavy artillery. Anyway, there was no hope of losing half of the lives under the city wall.
Due to the chaos of the defense line, the lichs were unable to focus on using the undead transformation technique. Therefore, while the consumption increased, the number of undead creatures actually transformed decreased, which further increased the pressure under the city wall. I watched the enemy's skirmish line gradually approaching the city wall and had to temporarily order the lichs to rest for a while. Although the lichs themselves are undead creatures that don't know tiredness, their magic power is not endless after all. If you continue to use it like this, it will be completely consumed very quickly.
Ashford realized something was wrong when he noticed that the undead army outside the city was getting smaller and smaller. When he looked back, he found that the lichs had stopped. He immediately ran to my side. "Ziri, why did your lich stop?"
"The lich's mana is not infinite. If it continues like this, it will be completely exhausted soon. If you don't want to see the enemy's army pressing down on the city, you can only let them rest in rotation. After the corpses pile up under the city wall, the efficiency of summoning them will increase. It’s a lot, and it can at least help you guard it for a while.”
"Then I will ask the troops to strengthen defense."
In fact, whether Ashford ordered to strengthen the defense or not, it was basically the same. Of course, the guards on the city wall could not watch the enemy climb up the city wall. The enemy would naturally attack when they got near the city wall. Even if Ashford didn't say anything about strengthening their defenses, they would still fight.
The main combat arms of the British and French coalition forces are basically human warriors. These NPC soldiers are of very low level and are purely cannon fodder. Their only function is to consume the enemy's patience and ammunition. Fortunately, Ashford is also well prepared. After the human soldiers roared and rushed to the city wall, they began to bring the troops in front and erect the ladders to the city wall. But the defenders above will desperately use bows and arrows to greet the people holding the ladder. Almost anyone who dares to touch the ladder will instantly turn into a hedgehog full of arrows. If unfortunately they encounter a mage nearby, they will even Even the ladder was blown away.
Of course, the siege team is not completely passive. The British and French crossbowmen who rushed to the city wall under the dense rain of arrows would hide in the crowd and conduct a sneak attack on the Iron Crusaders troops on the top of the city. However, as soon as these archers are discovered, they will immediately attract the attention of Iron Crusaders mages or artillery. As a result, even the people around them will be blown to pieces. Occasionally, the British and French forces would send some small cannons to be fired near the city wall, and then they would be covered with magic. Finally, they would use a quick city ladder to set up a passage and send powerful troops to seize a small area as a breakthrough point.
This breakthrough point tactic of the British and French forces can be said to be quite successful. At least they did hit the city wall many times, and they did cause considerable casualties to the Iron Cross. Since when the breakthrough point is opened, players are used instead of cannon-level NPCs to carry out strong attacks. Therefore, the Iron Crusaders' defense force against cannon-level troops cannot stop these enemies. In the end, they can only rely on the reserve team to extinguish these wildfires again and again. .
I was sitting next to Ashford and looking at the entire battlefield. An Iron Cross Army communication flag commander suddenly turned around and said to Ashford: "President, there is a big hole in Sector 714."
"Just let the fire-fighting team go. Didn't I say that this kind of thing should be transferred directly to the fire-fighting team?"
"But the fire-fighting team has lost two teams there and still hasn't blocked the gap. Now some enemies have entered the city!"
"What?" Ashford jumped up from his seat. "What happened? Who is the enemy?"
"I don't know. They say there are high-level players over there. Our fire-fighting team is not as strong as them. They can't deal with the enemies guarding the gap, and more enemies are coming up from behind."
Ashford was about to get angry when I stopped him. "Don't get excited. You should have thought of this situation."
"What do you mean?" Ashford turned around and asked me in confusion.
"Have you seen high-level players after playing for so long?" Ashford shook his head. I continued: "That's right. If it were you, would you keep filling this bottomless pit with cannon fodder?" Ashford shook his head again. I continued: "So! The role of cannon fodder is to obtain various favorable conditions for the main force, but if the main force does not participate in the war at all, then what is the right thing?"
"You mean the force that appears now is the main force?"
"Bingo. The previous miscellaneous fish were attracting our main force and making us careless. This breakthrough point means that the enemy has officially begun to attack the city. The previous one was just a warm-up."
"Now what?"
"What should we do? Let your senior troops go up and resist!"
"Oh. Yes, I'm so anxious!" Ashford quickly turned around and was about to order someone to plug the gap, but was stopped by Lu Wei. Ashford looked at Luwei in confusion. "What are you going to do?"
'Lu' Wei turned to me and said, "Ziri, can you take me there?"
"What?"
"I want to experience the feeling of fighting more closely. Although I can see it from here, what I see here is the same as what I feel on the battlefield in person. Don't worry, I will try to be careful and never I don’t blame you if you die. As long as you protect it seriously.”
I thought for a moment and finally nodded. After all, I received a Stone of Commandment from someone. I couldn't justify not being dedicated to such an expensive employment fee! "Okay! I'll take you there." After saying that, I glanced at Ashford, who was standing aside with a proud smile. "Hmph, I'm giving you an advantage. You don't need to send the reserve team. Just have me here!" After explaining, I grabbed Lu Wei and ran towards the place where the accident happened.
Although the Germans' rigorous style may feel a bit rigid in life, it can really show great benefits at work. Before the siege, Ashford sent people to number the walls of Iron Cross City, and also developed a signal flag system in advance. No matter where there is a problem, you can directly let the command podium see it. Ashford had sent many people there before when there were problems everywhere, so I roughly knew the order of numbers. Based on the previous rules, it was easy to find the section where the problem was.
When we arrived at the scene, the problem had seriously expanded. Not only area 714, but also the adjacent areas 713 and 715 had a large number of enemies. The on-site resistance forces have been completely replaced by fire brigade members, and the low-level NPCs who were responsible for defending the city at the beginning are basically dead. But thanks to the fact that all those currently defending are senior personnel from the fire brigade, if the general city defense force could not easily lose something, it would not be as simple as two adjacent areas.
As soon as I arrived, I immediately erected the Gate of the Earth. Scott rushed out of the Gate of the Earth with the Ring Knight and immediately began to direct the Kirin Warriors to form an array. My demon pets also ran out of the Phoenix Dragon Space and started preparing to block the city wall.
Many people in the Iron Cross knew me, and the commander who saw my appearance immediately ran over. "President Ziri, why are you here?"
I pointed at Lu Wei. "My customer wants to experience the feeling of fighting in close combat, so I'm here to help Ashford a little. As soon as I assemble the team, I will kill from here and start to block the city wall. You'd better gather all your people on the city wall. The other side prevents the enemy from moving that way. After a while, we squeeze the two sides together towards the middle. As long as we can isolate the enemies on the wall from the enemies outside the city, those who enter the city will be nothing more than dead soldiers."
"Understood, don't worry, President Ziri. I'll make arrangements right away."
The advanced players of the Iron Crusaders were very fast. After the Kirin warriors led by the Ring Knight took over to resist the enemies on this side, they quickly circled from the route inside the city to the other side of the city wall. As the troops from both sides were concentrated on one side of the city wall, the defensive pressure immediately dropped a lot, and the enemy felt as if they had suddenly hit an iron plate and could no longer advance.
It is said that the level of Kirin warriors is not as high as that of advanced players, but in such battles they can exert a combat effectiveness that is much higher than that of normal players. Compared with the chaotic team of players, Qilin Warriors have unified equipment and good coordination training. In battle, they can often exert a combat effectiveness of one plus one greater than two. Suppose a player's combat effectiveness is one hundred, and a Kirin warrior's combat effectiveness is eighty. Then the combat effectiveness of a hundred players together is definitely less than ten thousand. The combat effectiveness of one hundred and unicorn warriors will definitely exceed eight thousand, if actual calculations are made. The combat power of a hundred Kirin warriors even surpasses that of a hundred players.
These commandos had already found it quite difficult when they faced the high-level players of the Iron Crusaders, but now they were blocked immediately when they encountered the Kirin Warriors. According to my request, Scott asked the troops to block the enemy first and not to advance in a hurry. The Iron Crusaders team over there quickly got into position and sent a signal to complete the deployment.
As soon as we received the signal, we responded immediately. The first ones dispatched were my four giant dragons and the dragon girl Xiao Longnu. Xiao Longnu first flew into the sky and cast a Thunder Purgatory. Countless lightnings tangled together and swept all the way along the outside of the city wall, instantly cutting out an isolation zone for the enemies on and under the city wall, followed by Lucky and Plague spraying dragon flames and flying across from both sides. The two dragon flames prevented the enemy from closing the incision and further eliminated the enemy who had just narrowly escaped the lightning purgatory, ensuring that the passage was indeed completely cleaned.
After the five dragons completed the task of cutting up the troops, Xiaofeng suddenly landed on this unmanned passage, followed by more than a dozen blazing walls of flames that began to burn one after another. The terrifying high temperature was 'forced' The follow-up troops did not dare to approach the city wall, and the enemies on the wall could not retreat.
Seeing that the situation was under control, I waved my hand and gestured to Scott. Scott immediately said to Tank standing in front of him: "Brother, it's your turn to perform."
"It's a small thing."
After receiving the tank's reply, Scott immediately ordered the Kirin warrior who was fighting the enemy in front: "Get out of the way."
As soon as the Qilin warriors heard the order, they immediately began to move toward the inside of the city wall, leaving a passage on the outside of the city wall. The remaining enemy forces sandwiched between us and the Iron Crusaders immediately realized this was an opportunity, and they began to concentrate their forces and move closer in an attempt to tear a gap in our defense line. The flames set off by Xiaofeng only blocked the 714 area on the city wall and the three short walls on both sides. There were areas without flames on both sides. As long as the enemies on the wall could reach those areas, they could fight with the city. The enemies outside are connected together. With their help, more follow-up troops can climb up the city wall and destroy our blockade plan. However, all this is just their fantasy. When the Kirin warriors left, the illusion of Amynis also withdrew automatically. The huge figure of the tank suddenly appeared in front of the enemy.
"Quick, shield formation!" The commander of the British and French forces attacking the city wall shouted as soon as he saw the tank.
Since it was an elite assault force, the enemy's reaction speed was quite fast. Several players with large space immediately took out a large number of shields. Other NPCs and players took the shields from their hands and quickly formed a heavy shield position.
"Throw the gun. Up." The commander shouted again.
A front-row commander in the British and French allied forces immediately shouted: "First team, throw the gun."
A row of senior NPC warriors quickly rushed behind the shield formation and used the power of running to throw out the steel guns in their hands. This move was originally the signature skill of the Ring Knights, but recently they have rarely used it. The reason is naturally that it is not effective against advanced players. The tank is not a player though. But he is a large creature, and he is good at defense. All the spears he threw hit his body, but unfortunately none of them could break the shell of the tank. The sharp steel gun hit the tank's carapace and created a trail of sparks, which then slid out along the curve of the carapace.
After discovering that the spear throw was ineffective, the enemy immediately thought of the mage. Unfortunately, the distance was so close. They were able to throw a round of spears thanks to the fact that the Kirin Warriors retreated too slowly and hindered the tank's impact route. How could there be time for the mage to prepare magic now?
As soon as the Kirin Warrior cleared the passage, the tank immediately ran forward and rushed forward. Using the tank as an arrow, the Ring Knight and the Kirin Warrior followed closely behind the tank and moved forward. Since the tank was attacking along the outer edge of the city wall, the Kirin warriors following the tank actually only had to deal with attacks from enemies inside the city wall. There was still a sea of fire outside the city wall, and it was impossible for anyone to pass through such a sea of fire. Come and attack the city.
Under the leadership of the Ring Knight, the Kirin warriors formed a wedge-shaped formation and moved forward along the channel that the tank had forcedly knocked out, forcing the enemy away from the outside of the city wall and into the inside of the city wall. When the passage was opened, the Iron Crusaders on both sides immediately began to move inward along the outer edge of the city wall to form a new line of defense, completely isolating the connection between the inside and outside of the city wall. My Qilin Warriors and Bell Knights began to advance horizontally toward the inside of the city wall, while the Iron Crusaders on the inside of the city wall advanced outward. The assault troops of the British and French coalition forces were squeezed in the middle and could not exert their strength even though they were strong. We can only compress the living space little by little.
"Yeyue." I called Yeyue over loudly.
"What's up?"
"You are responsible for Lu Wei's safety. Protect him for me. Let's rush into the middle of the enemy's position together."
"Ah? Rush in?" Lu Wei was startled when he saw the British and French troops being squeezed into a pile in the middle of the city wall.
I pulled Lu Wei's arm and said as I rushed forward, "Don't you just want to experience this feeling? Come on, I'll let you enjoy it once."
