Chapter 135: The Fluctuating Scales

When the blinding white light dissipated, the original raging flames disappeared without a trace. This also includes those pillars of fire that rose into the sky. However, when Master Shoshone refocused his attention on the small red-tiled and white-walled building, the spell fluctuations he noticed again caused him to stop chanting. Because his mystical knowledge was telling himself that this time the fluctuation was a teleportation displacement spell.

It's a pity that because of the barrier of the wall, this indirect awareness wants to further confirm whether it is a dimensional gate or a teleportation. Even for Master Shoshone, it was a little too difficult. Immediately afterward, he immediately instructed the mammoth soldiers around him who had not been affected by the flames: "Immediately organize people to conduct a net investigation inside and outside Dongquan Town. Be sure to make sure that the caster is still in town. ”

"But, but. If it's that kind of caster, the average soldier won't be able to keep them at all! At this time, a middle-level officer not far from Master Shoshone suddenly stammered and reminded. Obviously, the 'rain of flames' that had an amazing effect just now had a rather strong impact on them. Of course, this is not entirely due to their greed for life and fear of death, but the senseless sacrifice will always be resistant.

Master Shoshone knew that he had given strong orders at this time, although he could also command them. But it is uncertain whether those soldiers will be passive and slack off after leaving his field of vision. For this reason, he had to murmur for a while, and then said, "Go to the mage regiment and get a batch of flares to distribute to each patrol team." Signal an irresistible enemy, and we'll be ready for reinforcements. ”

"Let's do it." Knowing that this should be the biggest concession that Master Shoshone could give, the mid-level officers went about their mission without complaint.

And Master Shoshone himself after looking at the messy camp in the square. The pupils can be said to be full of haze. Since those spellcasters before were able to infiltrate the first time. Even if it's confirmed that they've evacuated this time. It's still possible to sneak in a second time. But the mammoth's camp could not withstand another attack like that.

Don't look at the fact that Master Shoshone had just solved all the problems almost instantly. But behind this short-term combat method of a few seconds, there is a huge amount of money that is extinguishing the fire and disappearing at the same time. If you really want to look at the market value, the price of the 'health balls' that Master Shoshone threw out before is far more than the supplies piled up in the camp.

How to simply extinguish the natural flame will make things much easier. But at the same time, you have to solve the four-ring spell 'Rain of Fire', and the difficulty will increase exponentially. In addition, Master Shoshone himself is not good at making such one-time strange things, and he can only pay a very big price by purchasing them.

Although as a mage of the Mammoth Dynasty, the official will be responsible for reimbursing a certain percentage of the cost in this regard. But the rest of the part still made him feel distressed. What's more, these 'health balls' are not easy to replenish. After this consumption, even if you take the money to buy it, you don't know when you will be able to fill the gap.

However, in the environment just now, even if you know that your actions are a loss-making deal from a monetary point of view. But Gen Shoshone still had to do it. Because the materials that were about to be destroyed by the fire before were directly related to the survival of all mammoth soldiers and servant troops in Winterspring Town.

The port town of Winterspring is not very large, and its permanent population is not as large as the mammoth army stationed here today. In addition, the consumption of soldiers in battle is much greater than that of civilians, and the food stored locally alone cannot feed them at all. In this way, eating the enemy has become a completely empty word. To maintain the army's provisions, you either had to send a large number of manpower to loot from nearby villages and towns, or you had to wait for the Mammoth Dynasty to deliver it from the mainland. Either is not an easy task.

The consequences of their destruction would likely result in the Mammoth Dynasty's campaign in Wintersprings ending in defeat. All the investment of the mammoth dynasty during this period of time will come to naught. It may also have a negative impact on the overall situation. The indirect losses caused by this are far more than the precious consumables of Master Shoshone.

Master Shoshone is the core staff of the Mammoth Kingdom. He's not ******** kind of academics who do experiments. So after immediately weighing the gains and losses in my heart, I decisively responded like that. But even if he succeeded in solving the problem, Master Shoshone still had some doubts in his mind - after so many changes, he was worried that the treasury of the Mammoth Dynasty might not be able to support the battle plan that had been made before.

Many people may think that a certain amount of money is just a number. But for those in charge, the more the number is better, because it is more of a manifestation - a concentrated expression of the resources they are able to mobilize. So there is nothing wrong with the fact that war is considered to be a process that burns money constantly.

After all, the mobilization of resources is not free, even if different regimes choose to trade through barter. However, the difference must be settled in gold and silver coins, or high-value bills. In the case of the Mammoth Dynasty, they had to purchase a lot of war resources, and it was impossible for them to break even by relying on their own output.

At such times, they can only use their previous gold reserves to fill the gap. As a high-ranking member of the dynasty, Master Shoshone had some knowledge of the specifics of that aspect. The current protracted battle really made him worry - he was worried that even if he completely occupied the town, the final result would be that he would have to choose to withdraw due to the shortage of supplies.

However, compared to the chaotic appearance of the mammoths in the square, the defenders in the temple also ushered in a rare peace. It's not that they didn't plan to try to take advantage of this opportunity to fight back, but it was because the mammoths were too good at guarding against that situation. Not to mention the elite soldiers who have always blocked the door, no one wants to face the three multi-headed sour snake lizards on both sides of the gate that are still intact.

Take advantage of this rare intermission. Clematis led the medical staff in the temple. Herbs and bandages began to be used to treat the wounds. After such a long battle. There were not many spells left on the priests. Since it is not known exactly when the battle will end, ordinary injuries are now treated by conventional means unless it is a very urgent situation.

And Barrett, who had been observing the situation there since the change appeared in the square, shook his head slightly disappointed at this time: "It doesn't seem to be a real reinforcement, just a squad-style harassing attack." Trying to repel the mammoths out there in this way is unlikely at least today. ”

"Such a big action is actually just a squad-style harassing assault?" The Roman swordsman was clearly a little unconvinced. The gap between it and the impression in his mind was so great that he couldn't even connect the two.

Barrett, who took out a flannel cloth to wipe the 'broken peak' in his hand, smiled as if he had thought of something interesting: "Don't forget what place they are besieging now." The Goddess of Wealth and Commerce teaches the extent of wealth. It's not hard to hire that kind of mage to wreak havoc. When you don't have to go head-to-head with your enemies, even a lot of research-based spellcasters don't mind making an extra amount of money for themselves. ”

"Now we can only see how much our brothers in other parishes are willing to pay to pull us along!" Speaking of this, the Rev. Gatsby almost stopped what he was doing, "An attack like today's would take a few more times." I don't think the mammoths out there will be enough to hold themselves back. ”

Reverend Gatsby's guess was not wrong. Even if Mage Shoshone dealt with it properly, the previous 'rain of fire' still caused great damage to the mammoths. The total destruction of the oil stored in the original store is a foregone conclusion. There are also nearly two layers of loss in grain and grass. The equipment was unusable without adequate repair, and the tents and flags were not in good condition.

More importantly, of course, nearly a tenth of the mammoth soldiers and the many more servant armies were burned by the rain of fire that fell from the sky. This is a real headache for the mammoth side of the priest-starved side. Even if we don't consider the issue of combat attrition, the impact of the painful wails of the wounded on morale. But the results were immediate!

Originally, the confidence that had been accumulated in the battle today because of the right methods. At the moment, almost all of them are lost, not to mention. It seems that there is still no way to get as good as before the goal. In this case, how to effectively solve the problem of burns immediately became a problem for mammoths.

In fact, in this world, there are many organizations that choose to kill their own incurable wounded. It's a pity that even if the mammoths have such plans, judging from the current situation, they will never dare to act as long as they are still sensible. Because the main force here is often from the same tribe, the soldiers have a deep affection for each other. If you are not careful, you may cause a mutiny among the soldiers. As for those servants, as long as they killed someone this time, they would definitely be happier to escape.

In this dilemma, the morale of the mammoths suffered, and it seemed that they would not be able to organize a decent attack anytime soon. So, as Pastor Gatsby said, with just a few more similar attacks, there is definitely a risk that the mammoths will be defeated without a fight.

After putting the wiped 'Broken Peak' into the scabbard, Barrett stretched his torso and said, "Ideally, that's right, but with this incident, I think the mammoths will definitely find a way to take care of the fire in their camp." Moreover, the cast range of the spell 'Rain of Fire' is also limited, as long as they set up a complete security net outside, they can still add a lot of trouble to the attackers. ”

A brazier burning on the battlefield is a necessary setting, not to mention the huge advantage over torches when lit at night. Even during the day, it is very convenient for igniting fire arrows and handling surgical tools. Therefore, in the battle just now, the brazier in the mammoth camp will still burn in broad daylight. Otherwise, the attacker would probably only be able to change a spell, and the effect he could achieve at that time would definitely not be as good as the previous 'Rain of Fire'.

As if he felt that his words might affect morale, Barrett then explained: "Of course, as long as those mammoths are put on guard, the troops used to attack us will inevitably be reduced. That's a good thing for us. ”

"Anyway, after holding out for so long, we've finally seen reinforcements from friendly forces, haven't we?" Rielly, who still had a bandage on her head, was speaking to Barrett with a wooden stick on her hand.

'Who knows if this is a real hope, or if the allies outside are deliberately doing it for us to ......see' Although he thought so in his heart, Barrett could only pick up the good at this moment and say, "That's right! Although it was not a large-scale reinforcement that had arrived today, such an attack also represented the gradual arrival of reinforcements from other parish temples. As long as we hold out, there will be more and more comrades outside. At that time, the possibility of breaking the siege will also become more and more likely. ”

The singing and harmonizing response between the two and the changes in the square before more or less inspired the ordinary defenders who had been beaten since the gate was broken. Today's choice of wheel warfare on the mammoth side makes the defenders have to face an energetic enemy every time, while they themselves are extremely weakened by the constant fighting. In this case, even if there are strong generals who are enough to stabilize the front, it is inevitable that the mood will be low.

For the rest of the day, both sides silently began to lick their wounds. The temporary armistice, although not actually signed, has actually begun to enter into force. Taking advantage of this time, Barrett immediately fell asleep. Wait until the conditions for that long rest are met. He came together and without saying a word, he lit up the upgrade option.

As the number 8 is reached, the second bonus stat from the upgrade is already in hand. Barrett then threw it into strength, the most critical attribute of a melee professional, without thinking. Following the martial arts moves, Barrett considered what he had encountered during this time, and finally chose the 'Catapult Slash', a steel soul flow martial art that combines displacement and damage, because he found that his breakthrough ability needed to be enhanced.
