Chapter 156: Losses and Gains (Ask for Subscription!) )
After the elite group was woken up by Xiang Ningxuan with a grenade, they hurried to the snake man attack before they all had time to assemble. Along the way, they happened to encounter more than 150 snake people who were outflanked by the detour.
Neither side was prepared, so they could only fight face-to-face with bayonets. In this kind of chaotic war, the elite group suffers relatively much.
These snake people are not weaker than the high-level hero professionals of more than ten levels in their ability to fight alone, and even Tuhat can only hide in the house and use the terrain to fight them.
The advantage of the elite group is that the class mix is reasonable, with long-range attack, melee combat, defense, and healing, and each class is complete. If the number of people is the same, the elite group can level the snake people.
But chaotic warfare is not what the elite regiment is good at, so as soon as it is seen, the elite regiment loses three people. In the first team, everyone was injured and almost collapsed.
At the critical moment, relying on the meteorite technique that woke up from the dream and Ge Zhengzhe's fusion strike, the battle line was forcibly isolated, giving the elite regiment time to complete the team.
In the face of the elite regiment with a strict formation, there is nothing the snake people with a single class of troops can do. The javelin was intercepted by various spells, and the charging melee was slowed down by Chu Jiangyue's freezing, and it was cursed by Chen Lin's necromancer to be aging and sluggish, and it couldn't rush at all.
When the leader of the snake people sent the priests over, the situation improved slightly, but the mana of the five or six priests, how could they withstand the onslaught and consumption of the elite group, and it was empty in less than two minutes. The Snake Army could only flee in disarray.
————
Taking advantage of the time when the elite group gathered, Xiang Ningxuan nodded after listening to Chu Jiangyue's report on the battle, and said a few words of encouragement.
The next step is to take stock of the losses and gains of the battle.
In terms of losses, 20 people in one patrol were completely wiped out, and the other two patrols were disabled, and nearly 20 people were killed.
More than 100 corpses have been found in the three residential buildings that have been broken into by the snake people, and some corpses have been swallowed by the greedy snake people, and there is no time to count the specific data. The death toll is estimated at nearly 200.
In the end, the elite regiment lost three people, and the third and fourth brigades lost ten people.
The total death toll is about two hundred and fifty. This was the largest loss since the formation of the fourth detachment. The total number of survivors here in the sub-district directly under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng District is only more than 15,000, and 1.7% of the total population was lost in one night, which can be described as extremely heavy.
In the last days, the population is the most important, and as for the damage to the house and road, Xiang Ningxuan didn't bother to pay attention to it.
This snake man night attack gave Xiang Ningxuan, who was developing smoothly and was a little inflated, a resounding slap in the face. It's important to expand quickly and save more people.
However, it is also irresponsible to blindly expand and cause unstable foundations and cause the people under one's rule to suffer heavy losses. It seems that after the battle of Jiangcheng, the dangerous monster forces in the area under their control must be cleaned up.
If Tuhat hadn't discovered the enemy situation in time and made an early warning, Xiang Ningxuan might not be able to react until the snake people had assembled and launched an attack.
If Shen Rui hadn't appeared in time and led away the main force of the snake people, the casualties would have been even worse.
If it weren't for Xiang Ningxuan and the main force of the elite regiment stationed in the streets directly under the central government, relying only on the third and fourth two brigades, they might not be able to beat this group of snake people, even if they could win, it is estimated that the casualties would be extremely heavy.
If any of the above does not happen, the streets directly under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng District may suffer unbearable heavy losses, and the consequences will be unimaginable, and even will shake Xiang Ningxuan's position in Jiangcheng District.
In general, the current result is already a blessing in misfortune.
In terms of harvest, Xiang Ningxuan alone dragged the leader of the snake people and more than a hundred snake people in this battle, and killed dozens of them. The Hearthstone level is directly upgraded to level 10, which is equivalent to the standard combat level of level 16 (25+1-10).
According to the current experience, every fifth level of all hero professions is a hurdle. Crossing the threshold of battle level 15, Xiang Ningxuan felt as if he had broken through a membrane, and a new realm was ahead. If you had to give this realm a name, it would be "Epic Hero"!
Before, Xiang Ningxuan felt that he was already a top existence among the elite heroes. Such as skill columns and equipment columns, even Zhou Zijin, who is also a good Hearthstone hero, does not have them. Through the observation of the soul plane, Xiang Ningxuan also found that his soul power far surpassed that of other elite heroes.
He already felt himself bound by some unspeakable rule, like he had grown too tall and touched the ceiling. Of course, he can continue to grow taller, but he can only bend his waist, just like the snake man entering the room, he can't use his hands and feet, and it is very uncomfortable.
Now, the increase in rank has finally enabled Xiang Ningxuan to break through the ceiling.
It's like only by breaking through Battle Level 5 can you have a chance to advance to a good hero. To advance to an epic hero, you must break through combat level 15. This is a necessary but not sufficient condition. A well-made hero must be more than level 5, but now many people are more than ten levels and do not have advanced to the fine. Epic Heroes must also be above level 15, but those who exceed level 15 may not be able to advance to Epic Heroes.
After upgrading, Xiang Ningxuan obtained 1 point of non-combat mana crystal and 1 point of health, to be honest, such a little enhancement is not important to the current Xiang Ningxuan. But to Xiang Ningxuan's surprise, he actually obtained an ogre mage silver treasure chest, which he didn't get when he was promoted to level 20 and 15.
Why it doesn't matter why you send the treasure chest now, anyway, the system sends it, just accept it, the important thing is what is in the treasure chest.
Open!
The "Wow" treasure chest opened, and a burst of light flashed, and in addition to 1 golden blue card, 1 white card, and some arcane dust, there was also an item: a small backpack, passive, and two more cards in the hand at the beginning.
The last is an arena admission ticket, Xiang Ningxuan has been so busy that the arena hasn't played for a long time, and he doesn't know what has become now.
The Gold and Blue cards are:
Twilight Drake (Golden Finesse Follower)
Cost: 4
Attack: 4
Life:1
Warcry: For every card you have in your hand, gain +1 health.
Sure enough, the dragon cards above the elite level are all golden cards, because the strength of dragons is stronger than that of creatures of the same rank, except, of course, pseudo-dragons like elven dragons.
Actually, the giants are also very powerful, but the giants in Hearthstone are all epic cards, and they have not become golden epics. Only the Sea Giant Tide, which has been upgraded to a Golden Epic because of the power of Prides.
There is also good news from the elite group, this night attack has created three excellent heroes: Meteorite Mage Dream Awakening, Ice Mage Zhuang Mingjian and Hearthstone Hunter Li Wujian.
Shen Rui's level has also been increased, and in addition to the increase in attack, health, and energy, he can summon an additional Star Spirit Hero: Tardarin the Immortal.
Tardarin is also a white-painted quadruped robot, slightly smaller than Shen Rui's Archon Armor, but also more than three meters tall. He is a ranged attacker who carries two gravity splinter cannons on his shoulders, and each attack can inflict a gravitational wave that pulls enemy units near the target to the target.
The combat effectiveness of Tardarin is no longer inferior to that of the 99A main battle tank, and moreover, it is still a permanent summoning. It's just that after dying, it takes resources and time to resurrect. Caldalis, who had just died in battle, was in the resurrection.
