Chapter 9: Fueling Tactics

Near the Mine Castle.

The two duke's sons, each with 500 light cavalry troops to support, had already killed more than a dozen petty leaders of the overseers who had lied about the military situation in a fit of rage.

Originally, the two sons of the Grand Duke were also going to take the elite troops to experience a battlefield killing game. But who would have thought that after they led a thousand elite cavalry and more than a dozen magicians to join the battle overnight, the enemy in front of them was only a short man and an old man!

What do you mean by being old, weak, sick and disabled? These two people in front of them, one short and one old, are! Just like these two scumbags, they can actually guard the gate of the mine castle and make it impossible for the overseers who are on the corpse to eat for a long time to break through! Not only that, these overseers, who are extremely cruel to slaves on weekdays, do not even have the courage to take the initiative to attack! The situation of hundreds of people fighting against the great superiority of the two can actually be fought into a war of attrition that has not moved forward?

"Charge me!" Seeing that there were only two enemies, the two sons of the Grand Duke suddenly lost the desire to attack. Although bullying the old, weak, sick and disabled is also a very cool thing. But the problem is that the waste overseers under his hands make these two earls who are usually above the top very unhappy, and there is a suffocating breath in their chests, and they want to destroy all of these overseers one by one! However, considering that the operation of the gold mine is inseparable from these overseers, the two earls can only temporarily suppress their breath, just to make an example of the monkeys.

In the face of death threats, the small leaders of the overseers of the gold mine had to rush towards the narrow entrance of the castle with their overseers!

It's just that maybe these overseers reached the distance of drawing their bows and shooting arrows, but the archmage guarding the inner side of the castle made a move in advance, waved the magic staff in his hand, and hit the overseers who rushed in for their lives!

"That old thing is actually a magician!" Finding that there was a magician among the enemies, the second son of the Grand Duke, Count Casa, was slightly interested, and understood why the overseers hesitated. In the face of the great deterrence of mages, ordinary people do not have much courage to be enemies of mages. However, this does not mean that these overseers have done the right thing before. Although there are mages among the enemies, there are hundreds of them on their side, and even if they fight a war of attrition, they can easily consume the enemy to death!

At the cost of the deaths of eight Overseers, the Overseer cavalry quickly approached the range of their bows and arrows. As soon as they got into range, the Overseer cavalry fired arrows from their bowstrings!

All of a sudden, dozens of arrows roared towards the castle gate like dense raindrops!

However, due to the angle of shot, the arrows that can really threaten the great mage on the side of the castle gate are very limited. Not only that, but beside the great mage, who only showed half of his body, there was also a hill king who was not tall enough, but he was full of energy! he easily blocked all the arrows that were fired at the archmage, and although the non-vital position on the hill king's body was shot a few arrows, it was quickly easily healed by the three priests who hid their bodies in the walls of the castle entrance.

With the careful treatment of three priests, the little wound on the King of the Hill healed quickly!

"There's still a priest!" looked at the soft light that lit up on the king of the hill, Count Novan, the third son of the Grand Duke, couldn't help but be surprised. By now, the two counts had finally understood why their overseers were unable to breach the castle entrance. In front, there are warriors with strong martial arts who resist head-on, and there are mages in the back who have non-stop long-range output. Coupled with the priest who is constantly healing behind the warrior, such a combination is used to defend the narrow entrance to the castle, and it is indeed possible to play a situation where "one man is the one man and ten thousand people are not open"!

"Do you want to make a move immediately?" Count Novan asked the second brother beside him.

"Don't worry, wait first, consume their physical strength first. Count Casa, who thought he was witty, calmly ordered. In Casa's mind, such a tactic can not only consume the physical strength and magic of the gatekeeper, but also greatly deter those overseers who have been reluctant to patrol before, so that when they encounter this kind of thing in the future, they will not be like this night!

Count Casa's attrition tactics are like a refueling tactic for Zuo Zhe's side to queue up to send experience. Because of the enemy's tactics, not long after the battle broke out, Archmage Antonidas was promoted to level 2!

It stands to reason that in such a battle to hold a fortress, the area of effect of the Blizzard skill is more conducive to killing a large number of enemies. However, the water elemental lasts longer, and can not only output firepower, but also act as a meat shield. Although the King of the Hill is very strong in melee combat, he can't always stop in front of him, and there are always times when he gets tired. Therefore, in comparison, Zuo Zhe is more inclined to summon the water element. In contrast, the Blizzard skill is more suitable for large-scale team battles. As for the level 2 Brilliant Aura, you need to be at level 3 or higher to learn.

Having made up his mind, Zuo Zhe motioned to the archmage to learn to summon a level 1 water elemental.

"Terran Hero Archmage Antonidas, Level 2, Combat Strength Level 2 (can be upgraded). Skill mastered, summon water elemental level 1, brilliant aura level 1. Once you reach Hero Level 6, you will be able to unlock the ultimate mass teleportation. The Archmage comes with a six-bar equipment slot, an Intellect hero. Note: Heroes need to consume 100 kg* of Hero Level Gold to re-recruit after death. ”

"Water Elemental Level 1, summon a water elemental with combat power level 1 to attack the enemy, lasting 60 seconds, skill cooldown 20 seconds, and consuming 125 mana. ”

"Brilliant Aura Level 1, increases the mana recovery rate of allies within a radius of 300 meters, and restores the effect by restoring 0.75 mana per second. ”

"Hint: The Archmage is not just a hero, he is the leader of the Terrans. ”

After reading the skills of the archmage, Zuo Zhe finally found that there is a big difference between the archmage in reality and the archmage in the game. Among them, the archmage's attack range has been increased to 200 meters, which is much higher than the range of ordinary archers. And the enveloping area of the glorious aura is much larger than the enveloping area in the game! Speaking of which, the hero attributes and skill arrangements in the game are mainly based on the balance of the game. And in reality, the advantages of the archmage as a hero are immediately highlighted. In fact, the previous incident of the Sword Master using a single blow to kill the overseer leader of the second order of strength has already revealed the difference between reality and the game. In reality, characters don't have a fixed health bar, and critical encounters can be killed in one hit!

However, just as Zuo Zhe was thinking, the archmage who had just been upgraded to level 2 had actually been upgraded again!
