Chapter 72. Defensive counterattacks
The Iron Cross Beast can escape, and the Dry Corpse Mammoth can naturally chase after it.
Changing into a set of silver-quality armor, they were able to easily lift the twelve-meter-long cedar tree after nearly doubling the increase in all 'sex'.
Like a giant wielding a spear!
After a small acceleration of broken steps, the cadaver mammoth rolled around the cedar tree and threw it like a javelin. The escaped Iron Cross beasts gathered again at a distance of fifty meters at the sound of the order, ready to look for an opportunity to strike again? Charge. ”
However, the dry corpse mammoths would not give these Iron Cross beasts a chance to attack again, and when the other party gathered, the huge fir in their hands had already made a move.
The huge cedar tree, which the two of them were able to completely encircle, had reached the top of the NPc army almost instantly.
The first target was still the cavalry, which posed the greatest threat to the Legion of Bones, with the Iron Cross bearing the brunt. The Iron Cross cavalry had sensed the danger and hurriedly retreated. But...... Even if the cedar does not crucify these Iron Crosses head-on, it can still crush them into 'meat' sauce by weight.
There were also a few fir trees that landed in the advancing infantry formation, and these infantry NPcs hurriedly closed the shields in their hands, these shields that were enough to stop the bone spear and even the fire bomb could not withstand the impact of the fir trees. The cedar tree, which crossed the perfect parabola in the air, almost as casually as tearing paper, easily broke through the shield array and smashed these NPc infantry into shredded 'meat'!
The Iron Cross Beast cavalry completely lost their combat effectiveness in this attack, and less than half of the more than 100 Iron Cross Beasts remained.
In the second round of fir tree throwing, almost all the troops were wiped out.
"If only we had mounts." The dry corpse mammoth rubbed his hands and said to Gao Fei regretfully. "With the strength of our charge, we can wipe out nearly a third of these infantry in one round."
Gao Fei was riding the white bone beast to knock a lone Iron Cross beast into the air, and the huge hooves trampled the knight who fell from the back of the Iron Cross into 'meat' sauce, and when he heard the complaints of the dried corpse mammoths, he raised his long sword and pointed at the ten Komodo beasts that came to support. "If any of you can kill those war beasts first, I will use the Necromancy to turn them into your mounts."
Hearing this promise, the screaming corpse mammoths rushed desperately towards the Komodo Behemoth with their blades in hand.
The tide of battle is quietly changing.
More than 2,000 skeletal assassins had left the town of Shining Gold by stealth, quietly approaching the priests hiding behind the catapults.
Due to the fact that the city is full of undead, these siege weapons do not cause much damage to them, and they may also accidentally injure their own companions, so the catapults have stopped their full attack. Because the infantry was advancing over a large area, the priest was relatively safe.
This is the case in any war in Plane, where mage classes such as priests, mages, and shamans do not appear on the front line of hand-to-hand combat. The only mage classes that can attack the back row are archers and mage classes.
Although the torches held high by the NPcs in front of Shining Gold had illuminated the entire night sky, it was not daytime after all, and there was a lot of noise, so few people paid attention to the distorting air.
Several priests were chanting incantations.
In addition to the Psychic Fire, which increases the target's various attributes, they also have the Truth Shield, which increases the armor of the target unit, and the Weapon Sharpness, which increases their attack. If it weren't for the distance, the magic skills would not be able to attack the undead far inside Shining Gold Town, and they would not be able to use more means.
For example, ''Spirit', 'Divine Blast', 'Holy Strike', 'Yin Shadow Guard', and 'Shattered Star'.
These are all skills that are powerful and lethal to the undead.
Although they were not able to attack each other directly, these priests did not feel sorry. Because in "Plane", there is usually a saying that ten level 60 players can't beat ten level 70 players, but if you have a priest, then the ending will be completely opposite, which shows how much this type of class changes the tide of battle.
And before, the Iron Cross beast cavalry had also been pressed and beaten by the dried corpse mammoths. But as soon as the priest 'intervened', the dry corpse mammoth immediately fell to the downside.
This is also the reason why Gao Fei wants to take the lead in addressing these priests.
The skeleton assassin's form was perfectly hidden in the darkness, and the sharp bone dagger was held in their hands, and then silently approached the priest's side. The incantation came out of their mouths without hurry, and the white-robed priests did not realize that danger was coming.
"Ah......h
The mantra came to an abrupt halt halfway through, and a thin line of blood appeared on his smooth white throat. The priest who was chanting the incantation had a frightened look on her face, her eyes bulging out, and she quickly covered her throat with her hand, but even then she couldn't stop the blood line in her throat from gradually expanding.
Burst!
Blood gushed out, and the broken throat was like a baby's open mouth until the last drop of blood dried up.
Rumble!
The priest fell to the ground.
The rest of the pastors watched with the same shocked gaze at what was happening around them.
What's going on here?
There was no one to answer for them, and patches of blood sketched out, depicting cruelty in the night. Although the priests have a lot of attack skills, they don't even 'touch' the corners of the enemy's clothes, how can they attack. The guards holding torches aloft were beheaded, and blood gushed out from the headless corpses.
"Assassin."
A priest cried out in horror.
They found that in the darkness, the 'waves' of the air were flowing strangely, like a vast ocean rushing towards them.
Before he could shout a second word to remind his companion, he was pierced through the heart by the dagger that followed.
Due to the large-scale death of the priest, the infantry regiment that had been steadily advancing finally caused a lot of "commotion" and "chaos", and all kinds of buff magic blessed on the body began to disappear gradually, and at the same time, various curses from the skeleton mages also began to take effect at the same time.
Under the effect of aging, healthy, energetic soldiers began to wail. Because they found that their hands holding the shield were aging at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, their skin began to wrinkle, their fair complexion began to be printed with the 'flower' lines of age, and mottled age spots began to appear all over their bodies.
Sickness, weakness also spread wildly.
The germs began to spread during the breathing of the NPc soldiers, and various feelings of dizziness and limb weakness began to spread from the spine to the whole body. Many NPc teams are slowing down their movements, and the advance formation of the long snake formation has appeared uneven positions.
As for the subsequent deceleration, the soldiers' positions were gradually pulled apart, and the general formation of the iron bucket array was greatly deviated, and many soldiers who had hidden half of their bodies behind their shields had been completely 'exposed' within the attack range of the skeleton mage.
This is exactly what Gao Fei intended.
If you allow these NPc infantry to get close to you, then even the skeleton mages with many will be bulldozed by the other side. This is inevitable, the NPc's infantry defense is too high, and the attacks of the skeleton mages can't do any damage to them. Even if there were some, they would be immediately restored to full state by the priest hiding in the rear.
It's a perfect combination.
It's also a cycle, and if you don't find a way to destroy this combination, then the end result is completely conceivable. So Gao Fei chose this rather risky behavior and directly sent skeleton assassins to attack these priests. As long as these priests are killed, then it is possible to have an impact on the advancing infantry.
Now that the number of priests has been solved by less than a quarter, the advance of the infantry has already been greatly affected. It can be seen from this that Gao Fei's inference is quite correct.
The entire battlefield has become quite 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'.
The Komodo Behemoths that have come to their aid have arrived on the battlefield to replace the defeated Iron Cross Knights. The massive war behemoths proved that their name was not false, and their strength alone was enough to knock the dry corpse mammoth in front of them into the air.
The reason why the Iron Cross Beast was not killed before was because the opponent had an absolute advantage in numbers. But now, although the Komodo Behemoth is powerful, it is still quite weak and powerless in the face of the dried corpse mammoths that are more than twenty times their own.
However, due to the sheer size of the War Behemoth, it would be impractical to create a set of chainmail for Komodomon. Otherwise, the Komodo Behemoth could have spent a little more time with these terrible dried corpse mammoths.
The Dry Corpse Mammoth with twin knives leaped high to avoid the Komodo Behemoth's head-on, and its super bounce ability allowed them to leap over the Komodomon's back. The sword flashed, and the knight who was struggling to beat the drum was directly in a different place. Taking advantage of the fall, the Dry Corpse Mammoth sat on the back of the Komodo Beast.
"Moo!"
The terrified Komodo beast roared like a wild horse.
However, the dried corpse mammoths had already prepared, and Thor's Fury stood up straight and stabbed into the gap behind the Komodo behemoth's head. Blood gushed down the blood groove on the knife's body, and death was only a matter of time before they died.
Because of Gao Fei's promise, the Dry Corpse Mammoths almost took the lead.
In less than three minutes, ten Komodo beasts had been killed. They will be the first Komodo Behemoth Knights in Scourge City, while the rest of the Dead Mammoths who didn't get the War Behemoths are furious, and they take all their anger out on the advancing infantry.
The undead in the town of Shining Gold launched their first active attack of the night.
However, at this moment, the horn sounded again in the NPc camp
