Chapter 44: The Attack on the Gate
It's a city with a strong treeman style, but the tall trees that reach into the sky are no longer vibrant, and the magic lamps that dot them glow with a cold glow, and the treehouses built on them are like bird's nests made of dry branches, and the treemen run unscrupulously on them.
Silva has no walls, and countless huge Ancient War Trees and Ancient Living Trees act as a mobile barrier for Sylva, but the city of the Tree Man in front of him is tightly wrapped in a fence made of giant trees, and there are many arrow towers inside.
This is a city full of sharp trees.
The city is called "Da Ayron".
The sturdy wooden gate closed tightly, and the centaur mage Brogen paced back and forth at the top of the city, and as the players stepped into the realm of hatred, he laughed arrogantly: "The great Destruction Mage Brogen has been waiting for a long time, and I will make your obsession pay a heavy price!" ”
Berego the strongbow didn't talk to him this time, and ordered: "Attack the city gates." ”
"Eddrahir, assemble the battering ram."
Edrahill shouted, "Yes, Your Excellency Berego! ”
He began to build a battering ram in front of the gate, but only built a prototype before stopping.
"Warriors, use the supplies you brought to continue to complete the construction of siege weapons!" He commanded in a loud voice.
The 30 NPC warriors who came with the army obeyed his orders and took turns to step forward, only to see that the battering ram slowly became full from the prototype, and finally became operational, and it was obviously completed.
The system prompts: "Break through the gate of 'Da Ayron', the mission time is 5 minutes." Important, protect your siege weapon, it will make it easy for you to break through the gates. ”
Lu Xiaofeng had used a city defense weapon on the first day of the open beta, so this "novelty" thing was no stranger to him. At this time, an NPC warrior began to control the battering ram to hit the gate, and with a bang, the health bar of the gate dropped a trace that was visible to the naked eye.
The gate can be damaged by the player's skills and normal attacks, but in the big adventure, the "city gate" is the boss with the thickest health, and has a high damage reduction for the player's attack, and only a siege weapon that has restraint on it can cause it a great threat to damage.
Therefore, the players found that the fire attack of more than 200 people did very little damage to the gate, and it was not even as good as the impact of the battering ram just now.
Battering ram hits also have a cooldown, and protecting them is the key to breaking the gates within the allotted time.
"Destroy it!" Centaur mage Berrogan casts a spell at the top of the city, ranged monsters on the walls rain fire on the ground, and evil treant archers on the towers begin to wield their might.
Various monsters rushed out of the portal by the gate, this time not only necromantic zombie skeletons, but also evil treants from the Garden of Nightmares.
"Ranged classes attack monsters on the city walls, melee attacks the city gates, and protect siege weapons!" Bai Yunfei ordered.
The idol faction Big Pineapple and Yoshima also made similar arrangements in the meeting.
There was no one to command them on the side of the Sanren, but that did not prevent them from contributing to the breach of the city gates in the most correct way.
Three of them huddled in the corner of the gate with no ranged means, struggling to dodge the damage of the area attack, holding down a zombie who was out of the city to fight.
"What should I do?" Chibuki asked with a bitter face, he was affected by another range of magic, and a large amount of blood was dropped.
This position is a blind spot for enemies on the city walls, but it is by no means a blind spot for attacking, and some large-scale group skills will still be damaged by those hiding inside.
In particular, the centaur mage Brugan is an elementalist who specializes in earth-based magic - many range skills are falling from the sky, because the angle will not be able to hit the enemy hiding in the blind spot under the city wall, but the earth-based magic has always erupted from the ground, and the range can be hit as much as possible.
Halo was the worst of the three, and the Rogue's low HP and low armor made him even more intolerant of damage, and he was the first of the three to use his healing skills. …,
"I can't take it anymore." Halo said, "Wait a minute, I'll have to run a little farther to get back in health." ”
"Hold on," Lu Xiaofeng said, "This position is already the best, and you won't be able to get it back if you run out." ”
It can't be stacked between players in the wild, so the space in the corner of this gate is limited, and the seven people are already full, and four are next to their brothers in the back, but they have already exposed half of their butts to the enemies on the walls.
In fact, even so, this is already a treasure of feng shui, and you can see the brothers who are exposed and slashing at the city gate with their whole bodies exposed, and they know the way - these wild warriors don't know how many times the road has changed.
Halo, of course, didn't want to give up such a good position.
"Guarding you without milk?"
"Nope."
"You're wonderful."
“……”
"Does the brother in the back have milk? A mouthful of milk. ”
"I'm a warrior." The Char warrior proudly said, "The Char warrior is not a milkman. ”
"I'm also a warrior." The human warrior declared: "The human warrior does not milk people. ”
"Thieves." The diminutive Asura thief replied coldly.
"Guard." The tall Norn Guardian picked up the topic sullenly, and after thinking about it, "Guardian" alone didn't seem convincing, and he added:
"Wonderful Guardian +1."
"Greatsword Ranger +1." Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly clarified.
“…… What are you making a fuss about? Halo asked, in a loud voice.
"If I don't speak, it seems like I have, so I have to explain."
“…… I can't bear it, flash first. Halo rolled out of the crowd two times in a row, ran out of the attack range of the people on the city wall, and waited for the battle to recover.
To say that rolling is really a magic skill, it can not only dodge skills, but also achieve the effect of piercing people.
The vacancy left by Halo was immediately filled, and after a while, Lu Xiaofeng and his yellow leopard's blood volume dropped to a dangerous situation one after another, and they had no choice but to get out of the battle circle.
While waiting for the blood to recover, Lu Xiaofeng observed the battlefield: the strong bow Berego was playing soy sauce as always, in fact, he was watching from the outside of the battle circle after he gave the order, and Eddrahir followed him loyally.
These two bureaucratic NPCs.
The battle has continued so far, halfway through the mission, and the health of the gate has dropped by two-thirds, and according to the ratio, it seems that this ring of the mission is about to be successfully completed.
But Lu Xiaofeng looked at it, and he was not too optimistic, although most of the remote mobs on the city wall have been cleaned up by players, but the centaur mage Berrogan is still alive, and most of the long-range players are restrained here.
While the enemies that come out of the portal seem to be endless, the attention of melee players is mainly focused on cleaning up these fierce mobs, and under the constant onslaught of mobs, coupled with the powerful range attack threat of the centaur mage at the head of the city, the protection of the battering ram is not perfect.
More than half of the 30 NPC warriors who came with the army have hung up, which is not surprising, when controlling the battering ram, both NPCs and players are unable to move and use skills, that is to say, these siegers are attacking the city gate with hard damage, with Lu Xiaofeng's observation, the warrior system of these NPCs is far less than the brass boss in the wild, and the magnitude of blood loss is very large.
These 30 NPC warriors seem to be used as cannon fodder.
But these cannon fodder will never be able to withstand the end of the mission.
