Chapter 370: The Mummy
Let's not talk about the accuracy, just shooting at a distance is enough to make any enemy frightened and unable to concentrate on the battle, of course, this does not rule out the end of Lao Ma killing his own people as soon as he misses.
Of course, these problems can be solved slowly.
Of course, if it is used to siege and defend the city, Lao Ma's ballista can really be regarded as able to exert its due power.
Especially in the siege of the city, no matter how bad the old horse's accuracy is, such a large city is placed there, no matter how you play, you don't have to worry about not hitting the shot.
The next day, Cheng Kong and the three of them went on the road again, but this time on the road, Cheng Kong received an army from Sophia.
After all, this departure is to capture the mercury mine, which is a business matter, and it should be reasonable for the army of Crow City to cheer and shout.
This time, Cheng Kong received only a hundred crows, fifty wolf-headed monsters, and ten lizardmen.
The number of this army is not large, and the overall combat effectiveness is too weak, and he doesn't care if he doesn't have an empty process, the purpose of receiving this army is to protect the old horse who uses ballistas.
As long as the crow-headed wolf-headed lizardman protects the old horse, even if an enemy wants to kill it, he must slaughter the guy who stands in the way, right?
Thanks to the blessing of cleaning up the past all the way yesterday, there were no accidents in today's daytime march, maybe there were low-level wild things infested, but when I saw this army coming, I honestly stayed where I was and didn't dare to move.
The mercury mine is located a little further east of the pentagram hut that Cheng Kong had visited, a rare piece of high ground in a mangrove swamp.
Lao Ma and Murong Xue led the team to walk behind, and Cheng Kong was close to the mercury mine. It flew into the air and went to explore the mercury mine in person.
To put it bluntly, the place where the mercury mine is located is a small hill. A small hill in the middle of the marshland, about twenty meters high, surrounded by a ring of dry dry land, there is a cave on the small hill, and outside the cave stands a small and delicate building.
Cheng Kong's back wings flapped slightly, hovering in the air, and looked carefully towards the building.
It was supposed to be the same building as the Gold Mine Refining House. Looking at the building that was round like a jar, Cheng Kong nodded.
And the guards guarding the entrance of the cave and around the building made Cheng Kong frown.
Surrounding the building was a group of thirty or so mummies covered in strips of cloth, and the scorched and dry grass at their feet showed that these mummies were not to be messed with.
Guarding the entrance to the cave were five men dressed in emerald green leather armor. A phantom archer with a delicate bow on his back.
Well, Cheng Kong didn't know that these guys in emerald green leather armor were phantom shooters, but he just wanted to get closer.
As a result, the other party raised the big bow and shot an arrow, but fortunately, Cheng Kong's reaction was not slow. Away from afar. The two arrows shot at one time passed through a few mangroves and vanished.
This kind of penetrating ability that ignores obstacles, except for the Phantom Shooter, Cheng Kong really can't think of any class that can do this for the time being.
After returning to join Lao Ma and the others, Cheng Kong revealed the situation of his investigation.
The Mummy is a second-level class of neutral in the wild, characterized by thick blood, high defense, and cursed abilities, which reduce the enemy's weak attack power. Movement force is little. Evolution: Pharaoh, Curse of Ability. Reduces the attack damage of nearby enemies by a small amount and the movement damage by a small amount.
However, the evolved pharaoh is similar to a mummy, and when Cheng Kong was investigating, he really didn't see if there was a pharaoh in it.
The Phantom Archer is a fourth-level neutral class in the field, and its ability is to ignore terrain obstacles, and can shoot two arrows per attack.
There's no doubt that one of these two classes alone is enough to cause a headache, and when they are mixed together, they are even more powerful.
Of course, if you want to get close to the Phantom Archer, you have to deal with the mummy first, and the curse of the mummy is not so easy to bear, and if you want to shoot against the Phantom Archer, I'm afraid most ranged classes will have to bow down.
Especially in an environment densely populated with tall mangroves like mangrove swamps, the Phantom Shooter's ability to ignore obstacles is a bit perverted.
Cheng Kong originally planned to use the army of Crow City to practice a few more to familiarize himself with the use of the army, but looking at the configuration of the defenders of the mercury mine, Cheng Kong could only give up this plan.
Under the cover of the Phantom Shooter, even if all the troops of Crow City were killed, they might not be able to get close to the entrance of the cave.
"Let's fight back defensively, old horse, it's up to you this time."
Since the army of Crow City is excluded, the rest of the battle plan is simple and easy to understand.
That is to give full play to the characteristics of the long range and heavy firepower of the ballista on their side, and to shoot arrows from a distance.
If the other party can't hold out, then it should be used to practice the ballista for the old horse, and if the other party is dispatched, hehe, it depends on the situation.
However, Cheng Kong also guessed the other party's reaction, most of the time, after being attacked, the mummy will fall into the nest, as for the phantom archer, have you ever seen an archer who will directly find someone to play with his life?
In the battle to defend the city, even if it is victorious, sending pursuers to pursue the enemy army is fast, who would be so brainbroken as to send the infantry archers out?
Of course, even if Cheng Kong's guess is wrong, so what?
Now Cheng Kong's side has a great advantage, whether it is strength, time, or location, it is Cheng Kong's side that has the advantage.
To tell the truth, even if Cheng Kong's side is not strong enough, he grinds slowly, he is tired, he will withdraw when he has no soldiers, and he will come back after the replenishment and rest, the other party's mercury mine will not be able to move away, and there will be no reinforcements, and it will be able to grind it down one day.
Of course, this is also a variety of resources, the tragedy of the guardians of the biological nest, born to fight the heroes as little monsters.
But then, in order to broaden the vision of the old horse's ballista, so that all the crossbow arrows would not be shot at the trees, including Cheng Kong, a group of wolf-headed monsters and lizardmen worked together to cut down the mangroves.
If you want to cut down trees, the saddest thing is to cut down mangroves.
It's not enough to cut down the mangrove trunk, the undulating roots used by the mangrove trees to breathe here have grown to seven or eight meters high, and Cheng Kong and others walk in the mangrove forest most of the time past this kind of root, without which they can only step on the collapsed dry trunk.
From about ten o'clock in the morning, it was busy until seven o'clock in the afternoon, and when the sky began to get dark, Cheng Kong and others cleared out the distance of more than half and 600 meters.
It seems that it will take another day to completely open up this distance.
However, Cheng Kong is not in a hurry, he still has three days to go in the Hero World Realm, in short, this time he came in, he will get the ownership of the one percent of Crow City, and it doesn't matter if he delays a little longer. (To be continued......)
