Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Lynx Viper
Ellie then began to command five hundred Tier 1 soldiers to build a bow and crossbow formation, while Alfred commanded five hundred Tier 2 and Tier 3 soldiers to thoroughly clean up the wolves that had gathered in the vicinity.
Sou! Sou! Sou......
100 sharpshooters and 150 elite archers shoot a rain of arrows at the wolfbeasts.
Oh~! Oh~! Oh......
A burst of wails rang out, and these wolf beasts were shot in the face of the dense arrows of the 2nd and 3rd order archers, and they had no room to resist at all.
A few lucky wolf beasts were able to pass through the rain of arrows and rush in front of these archers.
However, what awaited them was a steel defense line of two hundred and fifty sword and shield warriors and elite swordsmen.
If a wolf beast encounters an elite swordsman, it can still fight back and forth for a few rounds, but if it encounters a sword and shield warrior, it is difficult to be crushed.
At this time, the battle scene is simply hundreds of strong men with tigers and bears, beating more than a dozen kindergarten friends.
In less than three minutes, the battle was over.
Except for a few wolf beasts that fled when they saw that the situation was not good, the remaining more than seventy wolf beasts were all killed.
The corpses of more than seventy wolf beasts were piled up two hundred meters in front of the bow and crossbow line.
In order to create a greater smell of blood, Meng Chen also ordered the soldiers to repeatedly cut the corpses of the wolf beasts.
As the strong smell of blood gradually spread, more and more wolf beasts were attracted to come.
And these wolf beasts, which were quickly shot by the archers, turned into new bait.
Two hours had passed, and two hundred meters in front of the bow and crossbow line, the corpses of more than two hundred wolf beasts had been piled up.
Meng Chen muttered impatiently, "Why hasn't the lynx viper been attracted yet?" ”
At this moment, a loud wolf howl was heard in the distance.
Oh~!
With this wolf howl, the entire canyon area sounded one after another.
After carefully listening to the number of wolf howls, Meng Chen's face changed, "The number is at least three hundred, could it be that lynx vipers can control ordinary wolf beasts?" ”
Half an hour later, a wolf-like beast led hundreds of wolfbeasts towards the crossbow line.
The wolf-like beast was nearly two meters tall and more than six meters long, its fur was dark black, with a thick bloody mane around its neck, and several one-meter-long blood-colored whiskers extending from both sides of its cheeks.
Among the wolf beasts with a height of one meter and a body length of more than three meters, this wolf-shaped beast called the lynx viper is particularly eye-catching.
The lynx viper led the wolf herd, four or five hundred meters in front of the bow and crossbow line, and gradually stopped running wildly.
When Meng Chen saw the appearance of this lynx viper, the memory buried in the depths of his mind immediately surfaced, "Is the wolf-shaped beast that broke into the mine that night this lynx viper?" ”
Now that the lynx viper had appeared, Meng Chen immediately took out two crystal bottles from his arms and ordered the soldiers to smear the giant earth dragon venom on ten Xuantie crossbow arrows and fifty Xuantie arrows.
These fifty special Dark Iron Arrows were assigned to twenty-five sharpshooters, who were a sniper squad specially arranged by Meng Chen.
The lynx viper's dark blue pupils stared at the pile of wolf and beast corpses more than two hundred meters away, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
Oh~!
A moment later, a loud wolf howl sounded again, and nearly four hundred wolf beasts howled in unison.
Then, nearly four hundred wolfbeasts began to charge towards the crossbow line.
Alfred held a rapier and shouted, "Encouragement! Keen! ”
An invisible wave spread out in all directions, gaining +3 morale and +2 agility for soldiers within a 100-meter radius.
Then, through the light curtain in his mind, Meng Chen used the first-order lord skill Tenacity, and the soldier's heart within a hundred meters was +1.
And Ellie was not to be outdone, shouting, "Wise! Bloodthirsty! ”
Wisdom Lv1 increases Intelligence by 1 for soldiers within 100 meters.
Bloodthirsty Lv1 can make soldiers within 100 meters fall into a bloodthirsty state, increasing attack and movement speed by 10%.
When the wolves entered the two-hundred-meter range of the crossbow line, Alfred shouted: "All shooters, shoot in batches!" ”
Hundreds of archers split into three groups and shot a rain of arrows at the wolves.
Thirty breaths passed, and hundreds of wolf beasts were hit hard by arrows and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Ellie, who was standing in front of the crossbow array, began to chant silently: "Element of passionate fire, please obey my call and turn into a blazing flame and burn everything in front of you...... Fireball! ”
As the chant ended, an orange-red fireball appeared in Ellie's hand.
With Ellie's gentle push, the orange-red fireball quickly shot towards the wolves a hundred meters away.
Boom!
The orange-red fireball exploded suddenly, spreading into a ball of flames with a radius of five or six meters, enveloping the four wolf beasts.
Woo! Woo! Woo......
Several wails rang out, and the four wolf beasts burst into flames, and were soon burned to death.
After observing the power of the fireball technique, Meng Chen smiled at Ellie, "This is the power of magic?" Seems to be a good look! ”
Ellie frowned, and said with some discouragement: "The elemental power of this world is too thin, and it has not even reached the standard of a low-magic environment, otherwise the power of the fireball technique can be increased by at least three times!" ”
The lynx viper, crouching in the distance to observe the battle, had a hint of ferocity in its dark blue eyes.
Oh~!
The lynx viper let out a loud wolf howl again.
Upon hearing the howl of the lynx viper, the charging wolves immediately split into two lines, bypassing the front of the crossbow line and rounding up from both sides.
Alfred ordered in a loud voice: "All soldiers obey the order and carry out the second set of defensive formations!" ”
Upon receiving Alfred's order, the archers began to shrink their positions, while the swordsmen quickly moved to the sides, forming two shield walls on either side of the crossbow line.
Although the shooting range of the shooters was greatly affected after shrinking their positions, the arrows continued to shoot at the wolves.
A small number of wolf beasts that broke through the rain of arrows were stopped by the shield wall formed by the swordsmen before they could get close to the bow and crossbow array.
As time passed, the number of wolf beasts was rapidly decreasing.
At this rate of attrition, it wouldn't even take five minutes for this group of wolf beasts to be slaughtered.
The lynx viper finally couldn't hold it anymore, and after letting out a roar of rage, it rushed towards the crossbow line.
In the blink of an eye, the lynx viper was less than three hundred meters away from the crossbow line.
Meng Chen, who had been staring at the lynx viper, immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Aim at the fierce beast, all bed crossbows are fired!" Sniper squad shooting! ”
Twenty divine hands pull the crossbow trigger on the bed at the same time.
Boom~!
After a dull sound, twenty long phantoms shot towards the lynx viper in an instant.
Two shots!
Twenty-five sharpshooters perform a double shot at the lynx viper, shooting out fifty special dark iron arrows.
