Chapter 645: Confrontation Without Gunpowder (1/3)
Before setting out, Luo Lin made a specific understanding of the mercenaries, counting all the missing mercenary teams, as well as the possible locations of their disappearances.
As a result, he was told that those mutant snake people were most likely lurking in the mountains and forests west of the God of War outpost, and that these dark ritual products with terrifying power were like dark deaths, they waited patiently for their prey, and as long as they found an opportunity, they would suddenly appear and take the lives and souls of the mercenaries, while the mercenaries had no power to resist and had no other way but to retreat.
For the mercenaries, the current mountains and forests are simply a nightmare that they cannot get rid of once they enter, and under the entanglement of this deadly nightmare, their move to the God of War Outpost to adventure and seek a path to promotion has suddenly become a foolish act that is no different from sending them to death.
There are already many Holy Spirit mercenaries who are ready to leave the God of War Outpost and return to the hinterland of the Nature God system, partly because of the terrible enemies, and partly because they can't hunt, so they can't pay for the Force cost of staying at the God of War Outpost.
In view of this, at the same time as Luo Lin sent the encirclement team, he also issued another announcement, announcing that during the encirclement and suppression of monsters, the cost of living in the God of War outpost will be reduced to one-tenth of the original, and this action will continue until the elite team kills all the monsters lurking in the mountains and forests.
One-tenth of the Force consumption is almost equivalent to free, and Rollin is at a big loss in the Force anyway. This greatly reduced the pressure on the life of the Holy Spirit mercenaries, and many of the mercenaries who had been watching to leave were much calmer and prepared to wait longer at the sentry.
No one would want to leave this place if it weren't for such a complete threat to their lives. Because at this time, the God of War post is the one with the most promotion opportunities among all the posts. Its main god is also promoted faster. It is likely to become a powerful god in the future, and with such a god, there is a future!
The sentry post was stable, and on the other side, Luo Lin's elite team had also entered the depths of the mountains and forests and began to look for an opponent.
Before the battle, Luo Lin asked Zhi Brain to do a detailed battle simulation, and used the mutant snake man, who had increased his abilities by 50%, as an imaginary enemy. After a few times, he came to a concrete result, and in the elite team, a standard combat squad of eight to twelve people was established.
One of the combat teams is a priest who has mastered the arts, three are dedicated to protecting the priest, and the other are all combatants.
In the simulation, such a standard combat squad has a more than 99% chance of being knocked back when facing an enhanced mutant snake man, and a chance of being killed on the spot is more than 80%. The chance of error is less than 5%. These chances are also not fixed, and can quickly get better as the team members work more together.
Presently. The elite team of 220 people was divided into ten groups by Luo Lin.
Although it is speculated that the number of opponents is around 20, Rollin does not know the exact number and tactical arrangement of the opponent, and for the sake of conservatism, the ten teams did not separate, but acted collectively.
During the march, the priests took turns turning on the life aura, detecting the movement around them and looking for mutant snake people.
This search lasted for three days, and in the process, traces of mutant snake people were constantly found, but the other party's senses were very keen, and as soon as they realized that they were exposed, they would never do anything brutally, and they would immediately flee away.
Over the course of three days, the elite team found nothing except for some fleeing backs.
"A bunch of cunning bugs!" William impatiently waved the tomahawk in his hand.
This tomahawk is naturally an artifact, it is made by Luo Lin using the crystallization rules he has newly comprehended, the tomahawk is crystallized, the whole body is inky black, from the axe handle to the axe blade, the degree of transparency gradually increases, and when it reaches the axe blade, it looks like a flawless crystal. There are countless points of light inside the crystal, and with the ink color of the tomahawk, it looks like a sea of stars, which is really beautiful.
Of course, these points of light are not for the sake of beauty, one point of light represents a rune, a total of 1,637 runes. These runes are combined into a whole, giving this axe the properties of 'near-indestructible, slicing space, and indestructible', making it as easy to cut even the latest Divine Crystal Cold Iron as mud. That's not all, one of the most important characteristics of this axe is self-growth, it will absorb part of the opponent's strength to strengthen itself, the more enemies are killed, the stronger it becomes, and to what extent it will grow, it depends on the master's record.
The appearance of the axe is simple and indescribably delicate, and it has extremely powerful attributes, even William, an orc, will never put it down once he gets his hands, and he sleeps with it every day, and even uses it to shave his beard to exercise his subtle control over the new battle axe. For this reason, William affectionately called this axe 'William's crystal razor', and cherished it to the extreme.
He knew very well that he would never be able to make such a powerful artifact himself, and he couldn't even understand the rune rules in it. His self-growth attribute made him secretly determined to make his tomahawk drink blood!
As for the battle armor on William's body, Luo Lin naturally put a lot of effort into it, and his protective ability was outstanding, but it was much worse than the battle axe, and the brilliance was all covered by this weapon.
William inherited the rough character of the orcs, and he was eager to test the power of his love axe, and in the face of these mutant snake people's hiding in the dark, he felt like an axe slashing in the air, and the whole person was panicked.
"Don't worry. There will be times when there will be a good fight. Rollin's expression remained calm.
He didn't have the slightest impatience in his heart, in his opinion, the three days were just the two sides testing each other, just like a couple making love, first ask you to kiss me, I will touch you, and when the love is strong, it will be real.
As for now, they are testing the enemy, and the enemy is also not stupid, and in the face of the power they don't understand, they naturally have to find out the details of his team that uses new equipment and is not a weak hand at first glance.
When the other party understands, that's when the poor dagger sees.
However, the current situation is not favorable to Luo Lin, because the longer the time drags on, the lower the confidence of the mercenaries and civilians in the sentry will be in him, and now the mercenaries are almost not on missions, and his strength has no income, but is consumed day by day, although it is not fast, but it is always decreasing.
The longer the other party drags on, the more favorable the situation will be to the other party, and if Luo Lin does not take a favorable counterattack, he may even be dragged down by the opponent for a year and a half.
"The Night Blade Sect adopts an elite strategy, and the word elite is really worthy of its name." Luo Lin secretly sighed that the pressure on the mutant snake people who were less than twenty was greater than that of the dark army gathered by the eyeless Dante before.
Although Dante is strong, he is still a warrior in the end, and he still likes to crush in strength in essence, and is not good at capturing and disdainful conspiracies, but this Nightblade Cultist is just the opposite, he hides himself tightly, and then controls the powerful chess pieces with ease, and completes the layout with a few hands, although the number is small, but the huge shadow projected is not less than that of thousands of troops.
Now, Rollin rushed in with this team, and began to play on the chessboard where the opponent had laid out the situation, and it was difficult to judge who would win and who would lose in the end, but Rollin was restrained everywhere at this time and could not get the initiative to start the war.
That's not going to work.
If you don't get it right, not to mention that these more than 200 elite fighters are trapped, after a long time, his rear will also be unstable.
Thinking of this, Rollin knew that he couldn't play with the other party like this, and it was time for him to change his tricks.
The Ares sentry post, the fortress has three floors.
Rollin's body already knows the situation ahead, and he has been thinking about countermeasures, and he has already achieved results.
"Zhi Brain, I need to use the Time Retardation Technique to design a strategic magic technique." Rollin said. Time is slow, this is a rule power that Luo Lin has recently comprehended, to launch this hand, it requires very condensed divine power, and if there is no sign of condensation, divine power cannot do this in any case.
"Host, please elaborate on the effect of the magic." This kind of specific and tedious, but does not require much creative work, Zhi Brain is the best.
"First: After the magic is activated, the warriors within the area of effect of the magic will become unattackable. Second: No enemy can escape from the magic range. ”
As soon as I heard this kind of request, it made people feel that this divine technique was extremely powerful, directly interfering with the rules of the abyss, ordinary gods would never be able to do it, and Luo Lin couldn't do it before, until he began to condense crystallization in his gods, and when he reached the peak of level 56, he touched the edge of a powerful god, and then he got this ability.
It was only then that Luo Lin really understood why a powerful god would be so valued by a god system, because a god who had reached this level already had the power to fight against the immortals!
"That requires the divine skill to have a certain range of effect, but the initial attack, the divine technique with such a powerful effect, the range of action cannot exceed a hundred meters, otherwise the divine power consumption will become unbearable." Wisdom Brain Dao.
"What about a strategy that does not use a range of effects, but specifies a multi-target effect?" Rollin asked.
These two methods are equivalent to carpet bombing and attacking with multiple guided missiles, and there is a big difference in the consumption of gunpowder, that is, divine power.
"The range of action can reach about 500 meters."
500 meters? Enough, Luo Lin gave the second request: "There must also be a requirement for the duration of the magic effect, and the specific time needs to meet the consumption of the surrounding soldiers to come to support, and the preliminary calculation distance is 100 kilometers, and the time is half an hour." ”
"Understood." Zhi Brain replied.
During this time, in the steep terrain of the mountains and forests, Luo Lin was still looking for traces of his opponent with his elite team.
In order to lure his opponents into attacking, he intentionally or unintentionally scatters the fighters, and of course, the smallest scattered unit is a standard team.
The day after this situation, one of Rollin's clans finally came into contact with the mutant snake people, and this team was the team of the elven archer Nova. (To be continued......)
