Chapter 101: Guarding the Pass (I)

In siege warfare, the biggest threat to the defender's ranged troops is the besieging team's flying troops, followed by the besieging team's ranged troops!

——Excerpt from "Essays of Ling Zikai"

The people of the casual guild have been very diligent in gathering in room 1102 of the ridge recently!

Before, it was the meeting of who founded the country; Last night was the process of fighting for the task of nation-building; Today is going to gather again due to the crusade and declaration of war by the NPC forces!

For this national war, because of the founding system that was only opened last night, there is no experience on the Internet that can be used for reference and learning.

We can only make use of what little information we know as much as possible, and make some pre-war preparations.

The NPC boss of the swamp faction is Kebas, an epic hero of the swamp faction's lizardfolk who is gifted with the Dragonfly class specialty. Dragonflies are flying troops, and if they are large, they are more suitable for siege!

Kebas's biography states that he was known for his bravery in the Tatalya army, and in Erathia he was known as the "hero who saved the scholars". Judging from the biography, Kebas is obviously a hero who is both brave and intelligent, and his AI level as a coach should not be low!

And the commander of the reinforcements sent by Ralian is Laszlo, who is not a well-known epic hero in Heroes and Might 3. If you want to be a hero under the command of a local power lord, you can't be famous anywhere, right?!

I don't know which side of the four national checkpoints the enemy will attack from, and the preparation arrangement of the random country is very simple: the first step, the four strongest long-range damage, Ning Shuang, Xiaokang, Ayaqi and the circle, respectively hold the eastern, southern, western, and northern four national checkpoints, and each level has one person as a backup assistant, and strive to intercept the enemy outside the national checkpoint as soon as possible! The second step is to wait in the map between the prism and the national capital, and after the war starts, activate the lock of the active national building element, summon the soul of the holy unicorn, and even hire a sawtooth crocodile mercenary group to help in the battle. The third step is to adapt to the situation......

……

5 hours of preparation time is fleeting.

At the moment when the time of the war began, Kabbas led nine NPC heroes to appear on the national level map to the west of the country of Random Country!

The troops under the control of the system are shameless! I even know that the western part of the map inside the country is swampy terrain, and the NPC attacks from this direction, and the swamp camp troops under the command of the NPC can also mix the advantages of the local terrain!

Fortunately, in the national checkpoint to the west of the country of Casual, it is Ayaki, who has the strongest long-range firepower, who is defending the city!

The easiest hero skills to learn are: Archery, Wayfinding, Luck, Scouting, and Resistance. Ayaki's hero, in the process of later leveling up, has learned the art of reconnaissance.

With the scouting technique, Ayaki roughly scouted the strength of the enemy NPC heroes, the coach Kebas level 25 epic heroes, and the nine NPC lizardman heroes under his command, most of them are beast tamer types, there are only three lizardman wizard type heroes, and these "little brothers" brought by Kebas range from level 15 to level 20.

As the head coach, Kebas did not personally step forward to attack the national checkpoints of the country of Casual. With a wave of his hand, one of his nine NPC heroes, a level 20 lizardman hero, stepped out and launched an attack on the western country level of the Casual Country where Ayaki was stationed!

Lezi was in the national capital, and learned that the NPC hero was preparing to attack the city, and directly activated the active national building, the effect of the elemental lock, and chose the pre-negotiated air magic effect, within 10 hours, all the heroes in the country of casual, have obtained the temporary hero skills of the advanced air magic specialization, and any air magic cast is blessed by the advanced air magic specialty!

At the same time, the NPC heroes led by Vello Ladzro sent by Viscount Rolien of the Templar faction appeared in the map of the country level east of the land of Casual......

……

The biggest advantage of defending the city is that it has an arrow tower that can constantly attack from a distance, a moat that restricts movement and carries damage, and a wall that blocks enemy movement and ranged damage!

The number of towers and the level of the towers in the player's country's national level increase according to the level of the player's country!

The country of Random is currently a level 0 country, and there are eight level 5 arrow towers with 50 damage per turn, and two level 5 main arrow towers with 75 damage.

Before the eight towers could start firing, the catapult threw two large stones, both of which smashed into the wall at the far right of the battle space.

Fortunately, with the bricks of the national building, the durability of the city defense facilities has been improved, and the city wall that has been continuously smashed can only shatter without immediately collapsing, and at least it can withstand the attack of the catapult again!

And although Ayaki's hero doesn't have reconnaissance skills, with the effect of the catapult's double stone, you can also know that the reason why this NPC lizardman hero takes the lead is that he has an intermediate or higher ballistics and a catapult!

The catapult in Heroes of Heroes is no longer a free necessity for every hero like in the original version, and few player heroes can equip the catapult until now!

After the catapult is the round of the arrow tower, eight five-level arrow towers and two five-level main arrow towers automatically shoot, the first round of attacks of the arrow tower is often against long-range troops, 10 arrows for a total of 550 damage, just took the lives of 25 lizardman archers, and the opponent NPC hero obviously has equipment with a +HP ceiling.

The troops of the barrier camp, except for dragons, are not more agile than dragon flies! There are only two golden dragons, and Ayaki didn't bring them out to occupy the queue. The enemy commander is an epic hero who specializes in the dragon fly class, and the heroes under his command naturally also carry dragon fly troops.

NPC Lizardman Hero raised his hand is the magic arrow smashed on the elf archer, -35, the beast tamer hero is not a magic hero, this magic arrow can only kill 1 elf archer with blood blessing under the command of Ayaqi, and then the two teams of dragon flies under his command took off at the same time, although they flew into the city wall, but they could not attack any target! The siege battle space in the national level is already larger than the battle space of ordinary battles, and Ayaki's heroes have primary tactics, and the length of the battle space has been extended by 10% before the start of the war!

The Silver Pegasus Knight's action power is full, and Ayaqi's spell casting round directly uses the magic of 100 shots and 100 hits, because with the blessing of the high-level qi magic specialization obtained from the lock of the national building element, the effect of 100 shots and 100 hits used by Ayaqi is applied to all of his own troops, of course, the magic of 100 shots and 100 hits increases the long-range attack power, and only the ranged troops can exert the gain effect obtained. The Silver Pegasus Knight moves in the city to protect the side of the Elf Archer.

Then another team of flying troops under the command of the NPC Lizardman Hero, the Two-Legged Wyvern, took off and landed in the clearing in front of the moat.

The city's fast melee units, war unicorns and centaurs, are full of mobility and do not move, let alone charge commands.

NPC Lizardmen Hero's ground melee troops, Chaos Hydra, Mighty Ploughmon, and Monitor Lizards, charge towards the city gates.

Finally, it was Ayaki's turn to exert her power, and the two teams of dragon flies that had already been sent to the door and the bipedal wyvern troops that could fly into the city in the next turn, the ranged troops under Ayaki's command were unceremoniously.

Although the number has been reduced due to the previous siege warfare on the towns under the control of the national system, the combat attributes of the attack target have become lower, and it will no longer be offset by the inability to break the defense due to the large number of long-range damage bonuses that are as large as when fighting the Angry Holy Qilin, and the damage that can be caused by each arrow of the 207 Elf Archers hitting the bipedal wyvern is 3600+, and each arrow can take away the life of 41 bipedal wyverns with HP bonus, and the number of bipedal wyverns can be easily shot in two consecutive shots to kill the number of 75 bipedal wyvern troops!

If this team of bipedal wyverns belongs to the player's heroes, it is estimated that the player will have to cry to death, this is a sixth-order class! Before the effect was played, it was killed in seconds! How many of the current player heroes can accumulate the sixth-order troops under their command to this scale of 75?!

The Phantom Archer and the Druid Elder under Ayaki's command attacked the two Dragonfly units in the city from a distance, reducing their numbers.

The arrows of the lizardman archers outside the city fell on the elf archers in the city, -202, after half arrow damage + city wall reduction, the actual long-range damage of the lizardman archers was touching, and only 8 elf archers were killed!

Ayaki's other slow melee units were full of mobility, such as the Battle Dwarves and Deadwood Guards, and after they were full of mobility, they stepped forward one after another to attack the two teams of dragon flies, and the war unicorn and centaur units that were full of action and had not acted before, also rushed up to encircle and suppress the two teams of dragon flies together. And the counterattack damage of the Dragonflies that have been cut down and have taken a lot of melee damage has become tickling, one team of Dragonflies has been beaten and destroyed, and the other team has been entangled in the Root Tree by the Deadwood Guard!
