Chapter 72: Blockade
The gladiatorial arena light troops, all of which are cattle men who fought in the Liuzhi gladiatorial arena, as gladiators, most of them are actually based on melee combat.
This is not to say that ranged and legal systems in the gladiatorial arena are bad, but because most ranged and legal systems do not suddenly survive in the absence of anyone else to work with.
But as long as you can kill the ranged and legal system from the gladiatorial arena, they are all bulls beyond the normal level.
The first to come into contact with the Elephant Men was a troop of archers.
This archer unit is one of the three ranged units in the Colosseum Light, 60 skeleton archers.
If you underestimate them because they are skeleton shooters, you will suffer a big loss.
At the beginning, this level 1 skeleton archer unit stubbornly fought out most of the enemies in the gladiatorial arena, formed a troop formation as the champion of the gladiatorial arena at that time, and incorporated it into the sequence of the gladiatorial arena light legion.
The other two archer troops, one from the Netherworld Elven Marksman and one from the Netherworld Goblin Musketeers.
From this, you can see how powerful this skeleton archer army is.
You must know that the other two archers, one relied on the unique archer talent of the elves to produce such a team, and the other relied on the power of goblin technology to produce such a team.
And this skeleton shooter has killed one by one, which shows their strength.
Skeleton shooters don't have the ability to run and jump while shooting like elves, nor do they have the ultra-long-range strike effect of goblins, and they can become famous thanks to the special effects on their arrows.
When they first started using bone arrows, they had already added the effect of bone spears to their arrows.
Although it can't be blessed with various abilities like a bone spear, it has effects such as automatic navigation, piercing blessing, and automatic acceleration.
At the same time, because they are undead, they can ignore the dangers they face, and do not consider whether their bodies can withstand it, and at the first time, in the face of the enemy rushing over, they can shoot three or even five times in a row.
And after so many years of strengthening, coupled with the support of Liuzhi's equipment, they are now stronger than before, I don't know how many times.
Like the bow they originally used, it was their own wooden bow.
Most of them were eliminated from the first world.
Now it was different, they had the best longbow, which was taller than them, and usually had to be pulled by three people.
The longbow is intended for thick-skinned enemies such as rhinoceros or dragons.
And now here, all skeleton shooters can use this longbow and shoot three to five shots fairly easily.
Another example is that the original arrows were bone arrows, and now the arrows are all long arrows specially customized for them, from the arrows to the tail feathers, all of them are carefully selected, and each skeleton archer only carries twelve of these arrows by his side.
When you run out, you have to retreat to the rear to resupply.
But these arrows, the arrows have an armor-piercing effect, the shaft can store energy, and the tail feathers can keep the arrows balanced in flight, so that they are not affected by the wind.
It can be said that in the bow and arrow set alone, these skeleton archers are beyond the average archer unit.
For this reason, when they encountered the elephant men's rushing troops, the 60 skeleton archers did not retreat without defense.
Instead, he straightened up, raised his longbow, loaded his arrows, and shot them at the elephant man.
The arrows flew in the sky, like shooting stars, with fire or electricity, and fell towards the elephant men.
As soon as the elephant men saw this, they raised their shields.
They are quite confident in their own strength, and they are not afraid of magic, so they have been strengthening their physical defenses all along.
They believed that as long as they raised their shields, even if the catapult smashed them, it would be of no use to them.
But how could the skeleton shooter make them feel so good.
The first attack is just a tentative attack, and the second arrow is the key.
The first arrow triggers the elephants' defenses, and in the second arrow, all skeleton shooters target the weakness of the opponent's defenses.
This arrow was shot faster, and people didn't expect that the defense system they were proud of would be directly seen through.
When they blocked the first wave of arrows, the second wave of arrows pierced their bodies where their shields could not stop.
Originally, with the strength of the elephants, this small injury was not a small injury, but in the second arrow, the skeleton shooters used arrows with powerful effects.
At the time of coming, everyone knew that the Elephant People could fight against most magic, so the Skeleton Archer simply used poison arrows instead of elemental arrows.
The arrows carried in the shaft of the arrow were all alchemy potions and ordinary poisons, and they were not counted in magic.
So people have no way to defend themselves against the damage that toxicity does to them.
And the arrows of the skeleton archer had a negative effect on the elephants.
Most of these poisons are nerve poisons, and after entering the elephant man's body, in addition to damaging the elephant man's nervous system, it will also bring a very strong pain to the elephant man.
The elephant men at the front screamed as they held on to the spot where they had been hit.
And their confusion also caused confusion in the entire army.
Like people at the beginning, they planned to charge directly, in their minds, that is, there were less than a hundred skeletons in front of them, even if they were archers, they usually faced such an enemy, they didn't even look at it, they just stepped over.
So the elephant man behind didn't slow down at all, but still rushed forward.
The elephant man in front fell to the ground, and for a time the elephant man collided with the elephant man, which caused chaos on the entire battlefield.
And at this time, the skeleton shooters launched another shot.
This time, since the opponent has no defense, the skeleton shooter's shot is directly on the combo.
A wave of three shots went down, and the skeleton shooters didn't look at the effect of their attacks, put away their longbows and retreated.
And as they retreated, three waves of one hundred and eighty arrows fell on the elephant man's head.
The skeleton archer gave each elephant a long arrow.
This long arrow is neurotoxic inside, and it can work as long as it pierces the skin of an elephant man.
All of a sudden, all the elephant men were rolling on the ground.
The earth shook as big as a man.
And at this time, the rest of the Gladiatorial Light Legion also arrived.
