Chapter 161: Winners and Losers (Medium)
The sparkle that represents the appearance of a new unit is constantly flickering.
The new unit has not appeared for a long time.
Lin Ling didn't care about him for the time being, he focused his attention on the territory under his control.
At present, he has occupied the four rebel flank strongholds of Stronghold 1, Stronghold 2, Stronghold 3 and Stronghold 5, as well as the three strongholds of Ash Manor, Smuggler's Camp and Thumb Mill, and can replenish 7 units of level 20 militia per turn to join his team, the conversion rate for armed farmers is 55% per turn, and all Orions have been upgraded to Militia Marksman.
In terms of troops, the rebel phalanx with a troop strength note of 24 (a lot) is still the titular trump card in his hand.
The rebel phalanx consisted of 27 crossbowmen, 30 spearmen, and 36 militiamen, with the commander of the 28th level Overseer. Although this team had suffered a lot of casualties, when Lin Ling deliberately selected high-level militia to join the phalanx, the average level of this team increased instead of falling.
In addition, Commander Grundy's Overseer class has a great impact on the morale of the troops, and there is basically no possibility that the rebel army will collapse.
Notable are the two Militia Marksmen with a rank 23 (many) rank, upgraded from Orion, the Woodwalled Militia Marksman, led by the Brewer Sarah, who increases their attack accuracy while protected by cover, and the other at Thumb Mill with arrows pointing at the Manor of Godrey.
The Foot Harvester team led by Bean the Big is second only to the Resistance Formation in importance.
This group of walking harvesters with a level 23 (many) strength is composed of walking harvesters and technicians upgraded from the wheat field golems, and in wartime, the walking harvesters and technicians are combined into one, which is basically one person to operate the armor. Their charging nature and high morale make them useful as cavalry troops.
The Shadow Priest Toba's mixed brigade is the largest team, with 700 crop golems making this team as impactful as the Walking Harvester. The number of farmers in this team was very small, only 12 people, and this was only worse after the farmers who had been liberated from the Ash Manor, the Smuggler's Camp and the Thumb Mill were incorporated.
The strength of the mixed brigade is remarked as level 20 (large number), the actual number is 713 units, the morale is average, the mobility is low, and it can only fight against the wind, but the ability to go against the wind is not good.
Like the mixed brigade, there are also militias from the canyon villages that have been upgraded from the militia training camp.
There are two teams of militias in Canyon Village.
The smaller group stationed at the smugglers' camp was converted into a militia training camp.
The other team is stationed at the Ash Manor, ready to support at any time. They were of the same rank as the mixed brigade, as was the one led by the Arcane warrior Kovich. Under the influence of the mysterious obelisk, any undead resurrected by Lin Ling was of the same level as him, which was originally supposed to be a plus, but at this time, it became a disadvantage......
Lin Ling is currently only level 19, and the arcane warrior Kovic is of course only level 19. Of course, there is no problem with such a level staying in the rear, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to lead the army to fight.
In addition to these troops, he left some troops in the four former rebel flanker strongholds of Stronghold 1, 2, 3 and 5, and combined the looted wheat field golems with the farmers into a team.
The armed peasants who joined the troops as supplies were formed in separate groups.
There is a temporary irreconcilable conflict between the armed farmers and the local farmers in the valley villages, and forming them into a team will only affect morale and combat effectiveness, and the best option is to stagger each other in formation as it is now.
Lin Ling adjusted his troop configuration slightly, and then ended the all-army operation, waiting for the start of a new round.
In the new round, the main rebel force once again encountered danger and had to stay in place for a round.
After it was Lin Ling's turn to act, he incorporated the militia added at the end of the round into the militia brigade, and gave orders to rest in place for the teams that were in turn to act, so as to wait for work.
The rebel phalanx continued their slow wriggling, and the scattered rebel soldiers raided Lin Ling's newly formed stronghold guards, and the entire army was wiped out.
Lin Ling controlled a small team to occupy the fifth stronghold, and since then, except for the High Frey Manor, all the strongholds in the entire canyon village have been occupied by him. The number of troops per turn in the militia training camp has also been increased to 9, which is a staggering number.
At the end of this round, the sparkle of the new unit is still shining.
Lin Ling wrote down the coordinates of that shining point, and planned to hire a few rangers to go there and wait for the official battle.
This is the end of the uneventful round.
In the thirteenth round, the main force of the rebels re-embarked on the journey.
A phalanx of rebels entered the range of the militia shooters led by the winemaker Sara, and Lin Ling did not hesitate to give the order to shoot.
The rain of arrows did not inflict many casualties on the rebel phalanx, but their morale dropped a notch.
The other team of militia shooters was unable to attack the rebel phalanx heading to the High Frey Manor due to the angle of their shots, and had to stay in place for one turn.
Corresponding to the rapid advance of the rebel phalanx was the backwardness of the rebel crossbowmen.
The distance between the two sides was stretched to at least three rounds, and Lin Ling set his sights on the stronghold guards and armed mixed brigades that he had supplemented with stronghold troops, and after holding for so long, it was time to take the initiative to attack.
The right of action was transferred to the rebel phalanx.
The menacing rebel phalanx rushed into the Gofrey Manor, but was repelled by the Gofrey Guard, and the dead soldiers were resurrected as skeleton soldiers by the Black Knight Commander Gofrey after the battle, and joined the Gofrey Guard.
A second phalanx of rebels followed suit and stormed the Manor of Godrey, which was also repulsed.
The losses of the Gofrey Guardian were not small, but the commander of the Black Knights, Gofrey, immediately summoned a large number of undead to supplement his troops, apparently using the psychic altar under the Gofrey Manor.
Seeing this, Lin Ling showed a cold smile.
The longer the High Frey Manor is guarded, the easier it will be on his side. He dispatched the Stronghold Guard and the Mixed Armed Brigade to move in the direction of the rebel crossbowmen, then pulled out Bean's Foot Harvester and flanked the rebel phalanx after the rain of arrows.
If the morale of the rebel phalanx was full, no matter how bold Lin Ling was, he would not risk the annihilation of the entire army to let the big Bean charge.
But now, the rebels are just poor creatures with weak morale.
A flank charge easily cut through the rebel phalanx, and Lin Ling was dissatisfied and ordered the mixed team of Shadow Priest Toba to follow the big Bean to charge the rebel phalanx again.
Two rounds of charges, directly strangled the rebel phalanx in a small one-block area.
Lin Ling ordered the militia brigade and the rebel phalanx to advance, and together with the foot harvester, they encircled the remaining rebel phalanx.
The embattled rebel phalanx chose to defend in situ, and it seemed that it was planning to fight to the death.
Lin Ling smiled coldly, as long as he ate this rebel phalanx and returned to the Manor of Gao Frey, the victory would be his.
Just then, the flash at the edge of the map was finally replaced by a long-overdue class model.
Hire a rider, and the strength note is 25 (several).
Several?
Lin Ling looked at the sparsely populated hired riders in surprise, and the note "several" meant that there were really only a few people in this team. Noticing that the model representing the unit was covered in blood, as if it had experienced a great battle, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Swan Castle, where the Seventh Fleet was located.
Could it be that the Seventh Fleet discovered the Wolfstein Castle rebels?
This suspicion was quickly dispelled by a pair of shadows that obscured the sky.
A flash of flame obliterates the mercenary rider's class model, and then a model smashes down the strategic attack and defense map, taking up a full four squares.
"Arcane mage, let me have Uncle Phoglos to play with you."
In the dark, I remembered a voice of nothingness.
The four-panel model has its shadowed shell and is revealed.
It was a dragon.
Crimson Dragon!
Dragon Phoglos, Strength Note Level 30 (Unique).
The final battle is to kill the dragon?
Lin Ling ignored the clamor of the void voice, he had also heard the name of the dragon Foglos, the young red dragon, often haunted the shores of the Flash Coast, loved to plunder, belonged to the regional lord, no matter how many times he killed it before destroying the red dragon's lair of Foglos, he couldn't completely kill it.
The Red Dragon's lair in Phoglos is located in the territory of a group of mountain giants, making it very difficult to enter.
Lin Ling remembered that the real death of Phoglos in the previous life was after the popularization of the flying mount, and a team of players used the flying mount to fly into the red dragon's lair of Phoglos and destroyed the dragon soul orb of Phogros, which completely killed this trouble that had brought death to countless players.
The appearance of the Red Dragon is not good news.
Fergros can single-handedly swallow all the pieces in the game, not to mention a monster that can be described in two words.
After the start of a new round, the red dragon took the lead. Its movement power is better than that of all units in the Strategic Attack and Defense map, and it can travel up to 10 blocks in a single flight move.
"How? Arcane mage? Feel the deterrent power of Uncle Fergros, right? Red Dragon Ferglos spoke to Lin Ling through a mysterious method, "Hurry up and find a way to stop Uncle Ben, otherwise your little dilapidated village will become another source of taxes for Uncle Ben." ”
"You didn't wake up, Red Dragon."
Lin Ling ignored the red dragon's interference and continued to play chess step by step. He used a team of militia archers to shoot at the encircled rebel phalanx, and then moved the team to the other side of the wooden wall, ready to take on the red dragon Phoglos.
The rain of arrows was very damaging to the morale of the rebel phalanx.
Immediately afterwards, the rebel formation made a decisive attack, tearing apart the encircled rebel phalanx and completely crushing their morale. Since the two flanks of the rebel phalanx were surrounded by militia brigades and foot harvesters, their breakthrough was only a waste of experience for those two teams.
With a successful blow, Lin Ling ordered the militia shooter team stationed at the Thumb Mill to shoot at the rebel phalanx besieging Godfrey Manor, trying his best to control the death of the rebels in his own hands, rather than giving the living to the Black Knight Commander Godfrey to change into a skeleton.
"It's kind of interesting." Phogros teased in Lin Ling's ear, "Do you want to come back and attack Uncle Ben after a quick decision?" Our red dragons are a cold race, not as delicate as other four-colored dragons, and only eat cooked food. ”
"Do you know what happened to the last person who called himself Uncle Ben in front of me?"
Lin Ling divided and surrounded a group of rebel crossbowmen and ate them all. He used his mixed armed brigade in front of the guards of the stronghold with more puppets in the wheat fields, and used it as a meat shield. Crossbowmen can deal 220% damage to medium and heavy armor, but they can only deal normal damage to fully lightly armored units such as armed mixed brigades.
With no bonus damage bonus, crossbowmen are inferior to spearmen.
"How dare you threaten me?" Phoglos let out a dragon's roar, and the deafening roar directly caused Lin Ling to temporarily cancel the game's sound effects.
"I just want to be kind enough to tell you one fact." Lin Ling transferred the Shadow Priest Toba out of the mixed team, and after dialing into the militia archer team where the brewer Sara was belonging, he replied, "Because one day, you will also fall into the same fate." ”
