Chapter 299: A Finger of Death
Most of the goblin troops that attacked this time were from the same tribe based on their similar gray and yellow skins.
These goblins who have formed a brigade are only paired with a non-commissioned officer with a professional rank in a group of 20, and at the front row of the brigade, there is a goblin leader who has a part-time level six or seven warrior rank. Behind it were more than 20 wolves, many of which were ferocious.
This kind of combat power, the entire Watchmen Guild usually encounters, will be a battle to the death.
All player teams that have ventured outside the city have been attacked by goblin raiders. Most of the weapons in the hands of the warriors were the first to see blood on the goblins.
The goblins themselves have a large number of races, and Arthur is very small and have a very high fertility rate, so even if the goblin tribe is wiped out in waves, they still quickly recover their numbers and continue to attack the merchants along the way.
However, at this time, after seeing Zhao Xu release two "fireball techniques" at the same time, the leader of the goblin brigade had already grabbed the whistle and blew it, driving the large army behind him to evade.
However, the huge forward inertia of the goblins could not dodge in front of the rapidly attacking fireballs, and at first glance, I thought that the goblins were resolutely going to die.
At the moment when Zhao Xu cast the spell, the two fireballs had already decided the landing point.
As a long-distance spell, the fireball technique, in Zhao Xu's hands, can directly hit the enemy two hundred meters away, and the range and distance are already comparable to that of a single bazooka.
As the two fireballs landed, when they touched the dust of the earth, it was like a grenade exploding, and the originally calm air instantly swept up a monstrous wave of fire, spraying out with a huge roar.
Countless goblins who were still in a daze were directly covered by the waves of fire, sweeping all over their bodies, as if they were caught in a sea of fire and unable to struggle.
For a while, the entire battlefield was filled with the painful wails of the goblins, which was very poignant.
The base damage of the Fireball Technique is 1-6 damage (1D6), and Zhao Xu's caster level reaches level 7, and all goblins in the sea of fire directly suffer a full 7 stacks of damage, ranging from 7 to 42 damage (7D6).
Based on the life base of an ordinary goblin's 5HP, he was directly burned to death on the spot by the high-temperature scorching damage brought by the "Fireball Technique".
Until the magical flames caused by the fireball technique slowly dissipated, the goblin troops that had been majestic and rushed over had turned into goblin corpses lying all over the ground, and their whole bodies were already charred black.
It's a pity that the "Fireball Technique" is only a momentary burst of flames after all, otherwise what everyone sees in their eyes is a charred goblin corpse, so that even the ordinary five-ring "resurrection of the dead" cannot be saved.
But in the eyes of the Watchmen Union, this is not the case.
It was the first time they had seen the true damage of a fireball spell that completely covered most of the enemy on the open plains.
Anyone who saw more than 100 goblin regiments that only needed to fight to the death by themselves and others would feel a little uncomfortable when they were wiped out by two fireballs.
"It's a brutal fireball technique."
"It's a brutal mage, even if there are goblins who are not dead, they don't dare to move at this time, and they fall to the ground and pretend to be dead."
"Why is that goblin leader also dead, is the fireball damage limit so high?" The observant wanderer asked after noticing this.
He had heard of the reputation of the three-ring spell "Fireball Technique", and he also knew that this spell could be exempted by reflex, dodging half of the damage.
Even after completing level 2 training, their Wanderer class has the ability to "reflex evasion", which allows them to directly dodge all the damage of this spell.
According to his guess, even if the goblin leader didn't succeed in dodging, he wouldn't just fall to his knees.
The goblin leader at the head of the goblin team was wearing a plundered half-body armor, and at the same time holding a big sword in his hand, his own combat power was not good at all as a human level 5 warrior, but at this moment he still turned into a corpse and fell to the ground, let the wind and rain blow.
And it worked hard for half a life to develop this powerful goblin tribe, and it also turned into ashes with Zhao Xu's two fireball techniques, even if the leader was alive, it was better to live than to die, and it was difficult to accept this scene.
Chen Nuo also explained to his companions around him at this time, "That goblin leader was covered by two fireball spells at the same time. ”
The range of action of the fireball technique itself is a circle with a radius of six meters, and the goal of the football field is just over seven meters wide. And once the two circles are close together, there will naturally be room for overlap.
It's easy to cover the goblins with fireballs, but it's not so easy to cover the target with overlapping areas, and the larger the overlapping area, the smaller the coverage on both sides of the flanks.
Combined with the fact that the goblins themselves were rushing forward, being able to cover it so delicately also showed that the wind mage was full of combat experience.
At this time, several high-level officials, including Frost Sword, were all thoughtful.
When the three trolls saw this, the instinctive fear of the flames made them hesitate a little.
It's just that this hesitation was immediately replaced by his own desire, and he continued to raise the weapon in his hand and rush towards the union players who were waiting in formation.
"Cage, you lead your squad of four to strangle the goblins who survived the fireball technique." The Frost Sword shouted at this time.
He immediately dropped the players who were vulnerable to dealing with the trolls, and arranged for them to check if the goblins who had fallen to the ground were really all dead, so as not to be overshadowed by the goblin javelins behind them in the battle with the trolls.
At this time, the warriors who originally followed the formation also bravely rushed forward, raising the tower shield in their hands to meet the attack of the trolls.
After two months of grinding, players have realized that Arthury, everyone's time is equally fair.
No matter how good the trolls are, they just pick one or two players to attack each round.
In the absence of spell attacks, players will have to wait for more than a dozen rounds of killing, even if they actually stand in line for the trolls to kill.
The troll hunter led by him saw this scene, and with at least 10 points of intelligence, he immediately understood the player's plan, but he didn't care at all, and directly raised the tomahawk in his hand and slashed at the nearest player.
It's just that at this moment, under the close-range shot, half of the flame arrows in the hands of the rangers in the guild are missed, and even if they are accurate, they are blocked by the strong defense of the troll.
These three attacking trolls are all wearing "chain armor shirts", which themselves provide a full 5th level of armor defense, and the trolls also have 5th level of innate defense.
Under the superposition of the two phases, the defense power of more than 20 levels directly caused a great suppressive force to the players present.
And relying on the caster's limited one-ring spell damage, even if the damage has just been done, it is directly compensated for by the troll's 5HP regeneration ability per round.
In the first round of the battle with the trolls, the union leaders, including Frostsword, realized this, but for a while they were a little at a loss.
Frost Sword can only shout that the "Barbarian" player is the first to go up as the main force of output.
The Barbarian's high-strength and high-body opening, combined with the "berserk" ability, itself guarantees a certain lower output limit.
It's just that Zhao Xu didn't release a flame blessing on the weapons of the barbarian players, so even if they successfully broke through the defenses, they could only deal non-lethal damage to the trolls.
Players can wear armor, and the same monsters can wear armor.
So sometimes the same means, such as the "confusion control system" spell, players will not be able to use monsters because of various immunity, but monsters with spell casting ability can be used against players, one is accurate.
At this time, Zhao Xu was also observing the battle present, and he was also measuring the strength of the "Watchman" union itself.
Those trolls can successfully slash the player with every shot, and it seems that they are limited by the damage of the weapon and the opponent is not attacking with all their strength, so the priest who is wandering around can still calmly use the "heal minor injury" spell to recover the player who has fallen to the ground.
Lift their lifeline from below 0 HP back to above 0 HP.
This is the advantage of the large team of 40 people, before the priests' healing spell slots are depleted, and before the battery life is broken, as long as the trolls do not make critical hits, the players will not suffer too many casualties.
And if Zhao Xu and the others were a four-person squad, it would only take two rounds, and the entire squad would have to lie flat on the spot, waiting for the resurrection.
It's just that the frost sword, who is watching the battle in the corner and is ready to be substituted at any time, already understands that something is over.
The two priests on the team, who had to venture to the fallen player each round, knew they were going to be detrimental to dragging them down when they used a "healing spell" that required contact.
Even if the player is restored to life by the priest, he is only barely out of the near-death state, and if he dares to step forward when he is not in a full state, the next time he will definitely die on the spot.
Arthur's spellcasters themselves are not many, and their 40-member union team, with three priests, is a luxury in itself, so reviving the knocked out player is already the limit, and it is beyond the reach of recovering to full state.
Naturally, the number of barbarians and warriors in the "Watchmen" guild who could slow down the trolls' progress in close combat was visibly reduced.
In this difficult situation, the warrior monks and forest rangers also began to step forward to contain them.
Originally, players were able to defeat the strong with the weak and knock down monsters with high challenge levels, but they relied on everyone's own attack process to play well, and the performance evaluation was around the "20th order", and they successfully caused damage.
But now, in the face of these trolls who have the ability to regenerate and restore life, this blood-grinding strategy has lost its effectiveness for the first time.
"Tempest Mage, do you have any other two-ring spells that you can use?" At this time, the Frost Sword, who was also repulsed, approached Zhao Xu's side and asked, although he was very surprised that this Tempest Mage was not nervous at all.
And he also knew in his heart that Zhao Xu had used the "Fireball Technique" of two and three rings, and it was definitely no longer possible to continue to prepare the Fireball Technique, and even whether the three-ring spell position was still available or not.
He could only hope that this mage had some kind of magical two-ring spell that could help a little.
At this time, Zhao Xu probably saw the strength of the Watchmen Association about the same, and he said directly: "Okay." ”
Just when Frostsword thought that the tempest mage was going to cast some spell to weaken the three trolls first, he saw him pick up the staff that was originally pinned to his waist, which was a slender staff made entirely of phalanges, and a miniature skull that looked very strange on the top.
Zhao Xu raised the "Legendary Necromantic Staff" in his hand, pointed to the troll hunter in front of him, drove the seven-ring spell contained in the staff, and said softly: "Death Finger." ”
