Chapter 157 Strategy and Tactics (Brothers, Please Subscribe)

Unlike other experienced paladins, although Xu Lai also charged forward with a heavy lance, he closed his eyes instantly when the first wolf warrior exploded in front of him.

Although the Dragon Tooth Crown is a high-level treasure with strong defense, it does not have a mask and cannot protect against the blood that hits his face.

So when the blood dance spread, Xu Lai subconsciously closed his eyes.

But soon he realized that something was wrong. His charge speed was continuously reduced due to constant collisions, and his lance kept piercing flesh.

Even though he had visited the mercenary camp and the arena, his strength attribute was as high as 18 points, and his arms were hurt by the constant collisions.

But his health value remained full. He clearly saw those fierce-looking orcs before he closed his eyes, and they were determined to chop him with their double knives at the risk of their lives.

After opening his eyes, the blood mist was still in the air, and the bloody smell rushed straight to his forehead, making him feel sick.

Through the blood mist, you can still see those hideous orcs, holding two thick-backed machetes and slashing like crazy.

The golden shield in front of Xu Lai occasionally emits a burst of golden light, which makes him completely unable to bear any damage.

[Holy Armor]: Immune to all attacks and spells, lasting for one minute.

This is the skill with the least description Xu Lai has ever seen, but it is the most practical. The saying of being immune to all attacks and spells can be completely replaced by another name, invincible.

In other words, after putting on this armor, only I can hit you, and you can't hurt me no matter what method you use.

There is about half a minute left of the one-minute invincibility time. Xu Lai's long-pole weapon is already good, but after all, the weapon is too long and too heavy, and the efficiency of killing the enemy is too slow, so he simply changed it to the Hundred Battles Sword.

The noble horses under Xu Lai's command are much taller than the mounts of the wolf cavalry, but the height and strength of the orcs are generally greater than humans.

Usually using the Hundred Battles Sword to chop off the heads of infantrymen is really like mowing grass.

It was obviously more painful to chop today than usual. Although these wolf cavalrymen were not wearing armor, their physique was not bad, and they were also blessed with advanced defense skills.

However, Xu Lai not only had intermediate offensive skills, but also had the bonus brought by prayer and full morale, so the damage was much higher than usual.

Without the blessing of charge, if he couldn't kill a level 5 wolf cavalryman with one sword, he would have to use two or three swords. Anyway, these wolf cavalrymen couldn't hurt him.

Around Xu Lai, the best performer was the hero Yan Feng. Although Tahan also had sacred armor, he couldn't just throw away his shield.

After throwing away his one-handed spear, he held the two-handed sword in one hand and could easily kill an orc with one sword.

Compared with Tahan, Yan Feng was lighter. The upgraded thousand-man fine steel long sword in his hand chopped three or four times in a second. Xu Lai and Tahan couldn't beat this guy together.

Pierce, who had the highest level in the field, couldn't throw away the big flag in his hand, but his arms were amazingly strong, and he used the big flag directly as a long stick.

Pierce waved his arms left and right, and the orc warriors in front and the giant wolves under their crotches were crushed to pieces by the powerful force.

Taking advantage of the fact that the holy armor still had nearly 20 seconds, Pierce raised the vanguard flag again, this time pointing to the Behemoth King Flag on the opposite side.

This is the king flag given to Taloshi by the Beast King. Without this king flag, Taloshi is not qualified to command the orc coalition forces in the stronghold.

Therefore, even if Taloshi did not deliberately highlight himself, as long as this king flag is there, Taloshi must be there, even if he is not there, he must rush back to rescue.

The first collision between human cavalry and orcs ended with a great victory of human cavalry. At this time, the two sides have fought to the same place, and they are indistinguishable from each other.

The scale of the two sides is so large that the death of one or two wolf cavalry will not reduce morale much.

The key is that the casualties on both sides are seriously disproportionate. With the healing and rejuvenation spells of the priests in the back and the holy healing spells of the paladins around them, the high-level knights almost always keep full blood.

The attack that the wolf cavalry is proud of, with the ultimate defense, high armor, prayer and full morale, is less than half of the usual.

It can be said that this battle is almost one-sided.

In this situation where there is only loss and no replenishment, the morale of the wolf cavalry will gradually collapse.

Of course, Talosi has the ultimate leadership skill, and the master-level leadership skill has the effect of reducing the morale loss rate by 50%. Coupled with the inspiring effect of the advanced leadership skill, morale can always be maintained at a high level.

However, once the Behemoth King Flag given by the Beast King falls, not only will the attack power increased by the King Flag disappear, but the 15 points of basic morale will also disappear immediately, and this does not count the morale penalty for the flag falling.

Since ancient times, beheading the general and seizing the flag is the only way to collapse the enemy's morale. Once the Behemoth King Flag falls, this increase and decrease will at least lose 30 points of morale.

The high morale that was finally maintained in the state of encouragement will immediately drop to normal morale after losing 30 points. If there are more casualties in the middle, it may directly fall into low morale.

The increase and decrease will cause great loss to the combat power of the wolf cavalry, so Taloshi will never allow this to happen.

However, Pierce took the lead, followed by his personal guards, paladins and knights, and Xu Lai who dared not to leave at any time.

In addition to Xu Lai's own bonus, the knights under Xu Lai's command also received bonuses from Tahan and Yan Feng respectively. Even if they were not as skilled in various skills as other human knights, the damage was actually not much greater.

On the roof of the fortress, the leader of the fortress army, ranger Kate, and an old man with a white beard were standing on the roof watching the battle.

Count Aini invited them to the watchtower, but neither of them liked the count, so they ran to the roof alone.

Kate, who possesses a master's level of eagle eye skills, took a look at the situation and said to the old man with a white beard on the side:

"In my opinion, the stronghold may not be able to hold it any longer. Pierce is nicknamed the Blond Lion. It is said that no one can resist him once he charges.

Now that the lion has added strength, the wolf in the stronghold may not be able to resist it. "

The old man with a white beard touched his beard and said: "Although the golden dragon and the green dragon are far better than the thunderbird and the roc, after all, there are too many ants to kill the elephant. If the stronghold really wants to dispatch the flying legion at all costs, your giant dragon will not be able to resist it." live."

Kate nodded and said, "I'm about to ask Master Soros to help me."

The white-bearded old man known as Soros laughed and said:

"It's me, an old man, who wants to ask you for help. Pierce probably won't be able to save us in time. Only ranger Kate, who specializes in logistics, has the ability to save us when we are besieged by orcs."

Kate smiled slightly and said: "Help each other. I heard that a large number of demons have appeared in the Aswan Snow Mountain."

The anger on Soros's face flashed away. A mage like him rarely showed his emotions in front of outsiders. This shows how out of control Kate's news made him.

"Your information is correct. Maybe in a few years, you will never hear the name Aswan Snow Mountain again. The devil is planning to transform it into a lava fortress.

But it is precisely because of this that the Parliament decided to save the empire at all costs.

The demons that appeared in the tower were just a partial force. Although they captured the Aswan Snow Mountain, they were also trapped on the snow mountain.

If the Empire falls and an army of demons and undead swarms the Tower, the Tower's destruction is not far behind. "

Kate nodded and said: "The same is true for the barrier. With the help of that group of underground reptiles, the Dracolich has appeared in the forest. These bastards have been working on the idea of ​​​​Dragon Nest for thousands of years."

Thoros said happily: "Those underground reptiles, aren't they afraid that the undead will refine their black dragons into bone dragons first? The undead are not a camp that values ​​credibility."

Kate was still waiting to say anything more when suddenly countless golden eagles, rocs and thunderbirds began to take off from the base camp.

"When the time comes, I'll send a message to Count Aini, hoping he won't miss anything."

Thoros shrugged and said: "Only by winning this battle can his noble knight family be preserved, don't worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, a super explosive bomb made up of several explosive bombs flew out and landed directly behind the Orc King's flag.

After all, the catapult is not a missile. Even if it is controlled by several high-level shooters, it is difficult to accurately hit a flag more than ten kilometers away.

What's more, the flag is carried by people. With the speed of the wolf cavalry, they can escape before the explosive bombs hit the ground.

Therefore, there is almost no chance of success in using explosive bombs to destroy the king's flag.

This explosive bomb was obviously just to cooperate with Pierce's capture of the flag. Talosi, who was guarding the flag, quickly deduced this based on experience.

So he ordered the formation to remain unchanged, and only mobilized the thousands of level 7 Wolf Warriors around him around Wang Banner.

With Xu Lai's blessing, Pierce was truly unstoppable like a tiger descending a mountain. Under the influence of his Holy Light skill, Xu Lai's vanguard flag seemed to be coated with a layer of gold powder.

The vanguard banner blessed with Holy Light Punishment is like a red-hot iron rod. Those who stand in front of it, whether it is a fifth-level Wolf Fighter or a sixth-level Wolf Knight, will either be smashed to pieces by the banner, or directly killed. He was knocked unconscious.

The paladins beside him waved their swords and shields to protect Pierce, who had lost his sacred armor. From time to time, he released a healing Xu Lai who also led his own guards to charge on the other side.

Miraculously, with the treatment of the paladins and Xu Lai's healing spells, the troops under his command have not yet been reduced in number.

The treatment of the priests has long been unable to cover the Temple Knights who are rushing forward. They must also put all the healing power on the knights on both wings and the priests who replace the Temple Knights on top.

Otherwise, the knights and priests, who were surrounded by several times the number of enemies, would all fall to the ground in minutes.

At this time, they cannot fall yet. They must persist longer than the orcs until Pierce succeeds in capturing the flag.

This was a tactic that had been formulated a long time ago. Otherwise, the human coalition could not possibly be a match for the orc coalition, which was several times their size and almost as elite.

As early as when they learned about the character of the orc commander, Pierce, Duer, Aini, Kate, and the top leaders such as Thoros, who had come to Stone Castle a long time ago but could not hide out, decided on today's decisive battle plan.

There was a loud bang, this time the explosion was far better than the previous explosive bombs. The flames and flying ammunition fragments killed hundreds of wolf cavalry on the spot, and injured countless more wolf cavalry.

The most important thing is that the smoke and dust formed by the explosion perfectly covered the tower mages who were teleported by magic.
