Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The demons that newly appeared in the player's field of vision with their extremely sudden attacks instantly broke the blockade that had been established with great difficulty. Because the attacks of these flame demons directly detonated those magic crystal flame shells that had just been discharged, although the dwarven zuò magic crystal flame cannonballs were not the kind of thing that exploded at the touch of a button, but if they encountered a violent explosion or impact, they would explode.
When designing these Crystal Flame Shells, the Dwarves designed them in the same way that the warhead hits the target and hits the detonation mechanism. Therefore, when these shells are transported, they have a wooden hollow quilt cap on their warheads, and the shells will not explode during transportation unless the cap is completely shattered.
However, the caps of these shells are absolutely removed when they are fired, so when they are fired, they will explode directly when they hit the fireball in front of them. The huge explosion even appeared directly near the firing port of the bunker, directly shocking the players inside in an instant, and there was no way to relieve their strength for half a day.
By the time the players had recovered their strength, they had already seen that the little flame demons had rushed in front of them, and one by one the flame elemental spells were released directly into the bunker through the firing ports of the guò cannonballs. The terrorist explosion instantly cleaned the entire bunker, and then the shells stored in the zài were also detonated at the same time. So in the next moment, an even more huge explosion directly overturned the entire bunker, and the terrifying explosion force made the undead troops who were passing through the bunker suffer a big loss, and such explosions appeared one after another in the entire defense line. Less than five minutes into the battle, the first line of defense that the dwarves and players had worked so hard to build collapsed.
However, because the explosion caused by the fire of the little flame demon caused the undead army to lose nearly 2,000 troops, after occupying the first line of defense, Latamicius had to choose to let the undead force stop, relying on his own magic to reunite the scattered undead on the ground. Although it is impossible to make up for all the losses, it is better than nothing.
At the same time, the players on the second line of defense breathed a sigh of relief, because the players of the first line of defense collapsed too quickly, or it could no longer be said to have collapsed, after all, there were less than 100 players who managed to escape back to the second line alive. This is basically almost the same as total annihilation, and the faces of these players who fled back are very panicked, obviously the surprise attack just now has a big impact on them.
All players are trying to adjust the rhythm of their breathing at the moment. So as not to leave them with psychological pressure due to the near-total destruction of the first line of defense. But in reality, such a move is of little use at all, and at most it will only give them a little more support. Of course, these players are not without learning their lessons, at least most of them have now held the shields they originally put away in their hands, and they have understood very well that the idea of keeping the undead out of the defense line is very difficult to achieve, and it is better to hold the shield for a while longer than risk being shot into a hedgehog by the bone shooter behind them.
But even with the shield in hand, these players didn't think they could hold out for long, because the first line of defense collapsed so quickly that the players behind didn't even react, and the sound of the bunker exploding came from the front. Wait until the last bunker blows up. These players were still immersed in the shock and did not come back to their senses.
Fortunately, at this time, Latamicius stopped the undead's attack, otherwise players who had not recovered from their senses might have suffered even more severe losses under the blow of the undead, even if the current second and third lines of defense were almost connected to each other. In particular, the maximum range of the steam artillery on the third line of defense is exactly thirty meters in front of the second line of defense, so that the steam artillery on both lines can participate in the attack on the undead.
Therefore, although Latamicius's adjustment this time is said to have replenished the troops, it has also brought back the players who had just fallen into shock. If he could rush straight forward with all his might, it is estimated that the second line of defense must be full of blood by now. But it is precisely because Latamicius is a demon that this happens. You must know that he and Kikigra are just a cooperative relationship, and these undead are an important guarantee for him to settle down and even return to the undead hell in the future. So he'd rather slow down his attacks, and even risk the player's recovery to keep his army of the undead.
Of course, his actions naturally fell into the eyes of the other demon lords, but none of the demon lords reacted to this. Not to mention that the name of the Demon Lord of Latamicius in the past was enough to shock these people, even if he gradually recovered his strength now, it was enough for him to suppress the dissatisfaction of the other demon lords. As the Undead Lord, he naturally needs a lot of undead power if he wants to restore his strength, and relying on the death breath accumulated from killing provides Ratamicius with enough undead power, plus a large number of soul crystals to replenish it. Now Latamicius did not regain his full strength. But half of the power of the past has been restored. Although his soul was still afraid of the gods of the underworld, especially his soul was still not fully recovered, he was already much stronger than the other demon lords in terms of strength.
However, if Edmonds was not present at this time, perhaps Latamicius's behavior would not have caused any reaction, but at this time, Edmonds was given a small warning to Latamicius, who was preserving his strength. A wisp of spiritual shock bloomed in his mind again, relying on his strong strength, Edmonds, the near-semi-dominant abyssal demon dragon, could be said to be the most powerful of all the enemies standing outside the city. Of course, Edmund only wanted to take revenge on the dwarves, so as long as he could capture the dwarves' lava city, he didn't care how much time it would take, so he only had a warning to Latamicius.
The stirring soul fire made Latamicius restrain a little. The aura of death that pervades the battlefield quickly allows him to replenish his depleted strength, and the next moment the players become punching bags for him to vent his anger. The undead who had been stationed began to move again, and this time it was still the skeleton swordsman holding the bone sword in his hand as the vanguard. However, the bone archers did not appear behind the skeleton swordsmen, but slowly gathered behind them, ready to cooperate with the small flame demons to launch long-range attacks towards the player. Of course, the most important thing is that the little flame demon needs to recover his mana, and he has recovered the damage he received due to the explosion. Just because they're half-elemental demons doesn't mean they won't get hurt in battle. The shockwave generated by the explosion was the same as the impact damage caused by these little flame demons, and some of them were even directly killed by the terrifying explosion.
It's a pity that the damage is the damage. The number of Little Flame Demons was still in the thousands, and the undead archers had not lost much. Despite the fact that they had been hit by steam cannon shells, the explosion was mostly blocked by the skeleton swordsmen, and the shockwave was not very damaging to skeletons with bones all over their bodies. At most, let them turn a few times. At this moment, these bone archers standing in the rear were not watching the battle, but preparing for a new attack. At this moment, the white bone short bow in their hands had changed, and the white bone short bow that was originally folded now began to elongate, turning into a huge long bow nearly two meters long, and the arms of these white bone archers also changed to become thicker. Now just now, Latamicius is not only recovering his troops, but also making certain modifications to these skeletons.
These undead archers aren't just the archers who wielded the bone shortbow, their longbows can be used for more long-range attacks. For example, shooting at players who are kilometers away is covered. The white bone longbow raised high was slowly pulled, and a bone long arrow was slowly put on the white bone bowstring, and the Xiao arrow slowly pointed high, and then the Xiao arrow shot out to form a gray-white dark cloud.
Projectile, which is a basic bow skill that most player archers master, but many players are unable to throw arrows thousands of kilometers away. Not to mention hitting the target accurately. But the undead archers did, and as they reached their top, the arrows began to fall, swooping straight at the player standing on the ground.
At this time, the player was busy dealing with the skeletal swordsman who was attacking in front of him, and he didn't even show the deadly attack above his head. Of course, the reason for such a situation is actually very simple, that is, the dim environment outside the lava city, the collapsed city wall crushes the lava river, so that the light source outside the city is much less at once. Of course, the light source is reduced not just because the lava river is obscured. The most important thing is that the last explosion destroyed some of the natural light plants on the top of the underground space, so that the light coefficient of the entire underground space can be changed from the past to the point where there are almost no toes now.
If it weren't for those flaming torches, and the flames from the explosion, perhaps the black dwarves on the city walls would not have been able to do anything to help in the battle below. At this time, the best thing to use should be flares, but unfortunately the dwarves on the city walls did not have time to shoot. When the flare is fired, it illuminates the entire battlefield, but at the same time, it also allows players to see the bone arrows that are already close at hand.
In such a situation, players simply don't have time to dodge. So the next moment, a scream appeared on the defensive line. Although most players are wearing dwarven zuò armor, there are still players who are unfortunate enough to be hit by the bows and arrows shot by the bone archers, and the kinetic energy carried by the thrown arrows is not bad, if it is ordinary leather armor, it may have been completely pierced at this time.
Of course, these players would like to thank the ancestors who sacrificed their lives in the first line of defense, because they gave the players behind them time to put on thick armor and avoid the shooting of bows and arrows. However, thick armor also has a big drawback, that is, the thicker the armor body, the greater the cost, and at the same time, it will also make the player's mobility more different from that of the skeleton swordsman. Of course, this continuation can also save the lives of these players. At least it's much better than the players in the first line of defense who are directly killed in leather armor. Not only did the weapons that he had managed to buy back during this time become the trophies of the skeletons, but even his own life was given away.
If it weren't for the fact that the steam cannons in the fortress on the position began to shoot cannonballs to stop the undead, it is estimated that the chaotic defense line at this moment gave the undead a chance. But the heavy artillery fire prevented them from expanding their gains. A skeleton swordsman is shredded in the explosion, but more undead roar at the player. The blood quickly stained the rocks on the defensive line red, and even though the player's combat power was improved with new magic weapons, it was still a little worse than these skeleton swordsmen, especially since they wore heavy armor to defend against arrows, which slowed down the swing of weapons. After all, not everyone is a fierce man like Chen Kai, even Zhao Tiezhu is rare, although many players have the choice to add points with all their strength, but their own foundation is there, and they are not like Zhao Tiezhu to fight in bloody mode, and the power formed by adding points with all his strength may not be able to be transformed into real combat effectiveness.
The most important thing is that the weapons they choose are not heavy weapons, because the magic weapons forged by the dwarves are mainly longsword and battle axes, these weapons are sharp but not enough to destroy, and the threat factor for the undead is not high enough. In fact, for the undead, especially these bone frames, the greatest threat should be heavy weapons such as warhammers, chain hammers, and greatswords. Only such a weapon can smash their bones. Of course, you can also use a huge fighting spirit to directly destroy the death power attached to the undead, but unfortunately most players don't have such fighting strength.
As a result, players with new magical weapons do not have an advantage over these weapons, but instead suffer from a lack of weapon proficiency and sluggishness. However, the large number of players is a good way to hide their shortcomings, the most important is the constant fire of steam cannons, and the bombardment of magic crystal cannons on the city walls, so that players can also block the attacks of the undead.
It's a pity that at this time, Kikigra threw himself into a new offensive, and the four great demons holding the flame giant sword slowly entered the battlefield. Although at the moment of stepping into the battlefield. They were targeted by the magic crystal cannon on the city wall, but they were not the two Bato demons of Argus and Ziger, but the winged demons could fly. With the power of magic, they can fly with wings, and with lord-level strength, their terrifying size is definitely more terrifying than those bones of Toruski in Adok. The biggest difference between them and those Bone Toluski is that they are living beings, while those Bone Tolusky are giant bone golems that are made by using necromancy and magic techniques. In terms of combat effectiveness, these four archdemons can definitely suppress the same number or even more of Toruski, after all, those white bones Torusky has a very fatal flaw, that is, they are not agile enough, at least they are not agile enough compared to the archdemons.
The Great Demon wielding the Demon Flame Greatsword appeared in front of the second line of defense in just a few ups and downs. The flaming greatsword in their hands almost grazed the player's head, and then the terrifying power of the flame directly ignited the player's body. In the next moment, the player was left with only a scorched corpse at the moment of the giant sword, and the magic crystal cannon shot by the black dwarves did not even touch the corners of the opponent's clothes.
The exploding magic crystal cannonball only exploded after it landed on the ground, and their original target was the running Great Demon. The dim light greatly reduced the black dwarves' ability to bombard, even if they calculated the coordinates of almost the entire underground space to adjust the position of the shelling, and even directly sacrificed a big killing weapon like St. Muladin's forgiveness to attack again if they could, but only if they could hit the target. The most important thing is that it is the undead who are attacking now. Only a small number of demons participated in the attack, and most of them were still cowering in the underground passages, just to guard against the dwarven killers.
If the dwarves shoot such an attack now, it is estimated that the only result will only be to turn the undead in front of them into ashes, and it will not improve the battle situation much at all. Therefore, the dwarves will not be stupid enough to destroy the demons at this time, because then it is estimated that it will not be the demons who will be destroyed, but the dwarves themselves. Because the black dwarves are very worried that the entire underground space can no longer withstand the continuous explosions, it is not good for the dwarves to erase the undead on the ground. The entire underground space would collapse and crush the dwarves themselves.
Therefore, don't look at the dwarves at this time to use St. Muradin's forgiveness, but they don't necessarily have the courage. At least they wouldn't take that risk until they were sure that the entire underground space could afford to live. Therefore, this weapon can only be used as a deterrent, but it cannot be used again, unless the black dwarves want to die with the demons. But maybe the forgiveness of the black dwarves who exploded St. Muradin may not be able to make the demons die with them, compared to the vitality of the black dwarves, the survival ability of the demons is undoubtedly much stronger, especially since Edmonds and the black dwarves have been neighbors for thousands of years. After sleeping for so many years, there is nothing to do, and such a terrifying vitality is not something that dwarves can compete with at all.
The attacks of the four arch-demons caused heavy losses to the players who had managed to hold up the defensive line, and those steam cannons that kept firing could not cause problems for the four arch-demons. The magic crystal flame cannonballs that were enough to destroy more than a dozen undead could not cause any damage to the body of the lord-level archdemon, and even the flying cannonballs would be directly exploded by the opponent's giant sword.
The result was only two minutes. A huge gap was torn open in the line of defense that had been held against the undead, and the number of players who died at the hands of these four archdemons was more than fifteen hundred. Because the four archdemons are wielding flaming greatswords towards the city walls, and their ability to fly allows them to escape at any time without fear of the player's siege.
