Chapter 50: Pros and cons
Inside the stone house, in the face of hundreds of giant bats flying down densely from the outside world, Archmage Antonidas showed the style of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, uh, it was the style of doing things to demolish the bridge before crossing the river, and directly launched a blizzard skill centered on the stone house where Zuo Zhe and the others were hiding!
Countless icicles descended whirring, nailing the bloodthirsty giant bats to the outside of the stone house. Even those giant bats that had not yet landed on the stone house and were in mid-air, because their formation was too dense to avoid the icicles falling from the sky, they were pierced with fleshy wings one after another, and fell to the ground and lost their ability to fly!
Once the giant bats lose their ability to fly, even Zuo Zhe is not afraid of these slow extra-large bats!
Before the stone house was destroyed by the blizzard, the archmage took the initiative to stop the blizzard skill. Before those oversized bats screamed and dispersed, the Blood Mage's Flame Strike was unleashed!
In the fierce flames, the burnt smell of barbecue spreads and burns the bats that have been impaled with ice picks on their wings to charcoal!
With the death of a large number of giant bats, the remaining giant bats quickly retreated and dispersed, not daring to make up for the experience. It's just that after this incident, Zuo Zhe didn't dare to use mortar shells to open the way as unscrupulously as before. Bringing four of these mortar squads into the Monster space, Zuo Zhe turned to beckon the Minotaur Chief to clear the way. Although the Minotaur chieftain is far less able to demolish buildings than a mortar squad, he is better at making a smaller noise and not easily attracting powerful enemies. This time, the giant bats are only melee flying units, but who knows if there will be long-range attacking flying units?
After this battle, Zuo Zhe realized that the team's air defense capability was quite weak. Just when Zuo Zhe was thinking about whether to recruit some ranged troops, the gargoyles who had lifted the stone statue form in mid-air immediately found that the left rear suddenly lit up with a raging fire!
"This is the mage's fireball technique!" Identifying the source of the firelight for the first time, Zuo Zhe immediately recalled the few second-order magicians who were occupied by the banshee. Without the slightest hesitation, Zuo Zhe immediately led people towards the location where the firelight appeared. However, because this firelight may also be a fireball technique released by the third-order magician Bill. To be on the safe side, Zuo Zhe summoned four mortar squads and let the Minotaur Chief walk alone in the front as a decoy. Well, mainly because the Minotaur Chieftain has a resurrection skill, even if he steps into a trap set by the enemy.
Just before, the explosion of mortar shells reached the ears of the three second-order mages and the three spellbreakers who were struggling in the rear. Because there was no check and balance from Zuo Zhe, the three second-order magicians controlled by the undead banshees and the blood elf spellbreakers in the human camp had some intention of starting a fight if they didn't agree with each other. It's just that the undead banshee knows the characteristics of the magic immunity of the blood elf spellbreakers, and a simple magic attack can't hurt these magically immune spellbreakers at all. Similarly, although the three Blood Elf Spellbreakers did not have the slightest affection for the banshee, they did not dare to rashly attack these three second-order magicians who did not know what hole cards they had. As a result, the six people from the two camps confronted each other. It wasn't until the familiar sound of mortar shells sounded that the three lawbreakers put aside their contradictions with each other and rushed in the direction where Zuo Zhe and the others were. And the second-order magicians controlled by these three banshees, although they hated the dwarves of the human race, knew that these mortar squads were likely to stay with Zuo Zhe. After all, before entering the Immortal King City, Zuo Zhe did not recruit a mortar squad. As a result, the three second-order magicians and the three lawbreakers threw aside their contradictions and rushed towards the direction where Zuo Zhe and the others were.
Soon, the two teams converged in one place. Among them, the three Blood Elf Spellbreakers knelt on one knee with teary eyes as if they had seen their own father, knelt down in front of the Blood Mage Karl, and shouted, "For Taras (High Elf Country)!"
"For my people!" the Blood Mage Karl replied as he lifted the three Blood Elves up.
Compared to the touching scene of the blood mage Carl and the three lawbreaker fellows seeing their fellow villagers and the two tears in their eyes, the second-order magicians controlled by the three banshees were directly under the direct command of Zuo Zhe. That's right, heroes like archmages can't command these three undead banshees. Comparatively speaking, it was Zuo Zhe's order that was more effective.
With the addition of three spellbreakers and three magicians, a total of six ranged units, Zuo Zhe's previous air defense problems were immediately greatly alleviated. With the courage in his heart, Zuo Zhe was not particularly worried about the attack from the air. With Zuo Zhe's order, the mortar squads of the five squads began to pour fire again, efficiently opening up the nearest road to rescue. After this incident, Zuo Zhe understood what it meant to "have pros and cons to everything". The loud explosion of the mortar shell certainly attracts an avoidable enemy like the giant bat, but it also guides the way for the scattered factions and heroes around them to converge in the direction of the sound.
With the lessons learned from the previous experience, Zuo Zhe deliberately chose some roads close to the sturdy buildings this time. Of course, there were no roads next to these fortified buildings. However, there is a good saying that there is no road in the world, and after the demolition team passes by, there is a road in the world. Well, it seems that Lu Xun didn't say that back then.
Things were as Zuo Zhe expected, Zuo Zhe and the others hadn't been gone long before they really encountered a new situation! It's just that this time, Zuo Zhe did not encounter a flying monster that could launch a long-range attack, nor did he encounter his own unit attracted by the sound of mortar shells, but encountered a third kind of enemy, that is, an enemy that drilled out from under the surface!
Tough vines spread out from under the surface, quickly surrounding the area where Zuo Zhe and the others were! And at the feet of Zuo Zhe and the others, the vines had already entangled Zuo Zhe and the others, and the spikes sticking out of the vines were injecting venom into Zuo Zhe and the others!
"!" In a hurry, he didn't dodge the attack of the spikes, Zuo Zhe felt the toxin being injected into his body, and his heart suddenly chilled, and he almost scared out the urine!
Fortunately, it depends on Brother Niu at the critical moment. Because of his great strength, the Minotaur Chief broke free from the spikes that emerged from the ground in an instant, and trampled the earth with his hooves that were wrapped in powerful power and magic fluctuations!
"War trampling!"
