Chapter 275: Seven Days (Nine)

The dazzling light of the fire became the best reference in the night sky to guide the bed crossbow and catapult, and the catapult not only threw huge rocks outward, but also frantically hurled some combustibles towards the area where the drow elves were. One by one, the jars filled with grease smashed to the ground, and then the scattered grease was instantly ignited by the flames on the ground.

The flames couldn't do much damage to the Drow Elves, but they did reveal their whereabouts. Under the guidance of the firelight, the crossbow machine on the city wall naturally became more and more accurate, but the flames in the sky did not burn for long, accompanied by a huge thunder, and the pouring rain directly extinguished the flames without everyone being prepared.

It's just that the heavy rain didn't fall on the city walls, so it can be said that the rain fell within the range of the flames, because it was artificial rain created by the mage. Although the level of the Water Elemental Rain Falling Technique is low, if it is unleashed by an archmage, the effect and enveloping range are absolutely amazing. If it rains in a range of thousands of meters, it will rain, but after a large amount of water element is extracted out of thin air, this area will become extremely dry, at least for a long time, even if heavy rain falls, it will not produce much water. It is not even possible to understand that when all the cumulonimbus clouds are close to the area of this area, the water elements that remain in them will be absorbed by this area. However, forcibly extracting the water element from the air to create heavy rain is also a big burden for the caster, first of all, he must absorb the water vapor remaining in the surrounding thousands or even tens of thousands of square meters. You must know that when the drow elf archmage casts the spell, there are flames all around, and the huge fire element directly disperses the water element in this area, so this archmage must draw a larger area of water element in order to attract heavy rain in such a situation.

At the same time, the larger the extraction range, the more mana will be consumed, so that the archmage will have to rest for at least a few minutes after releasing this rain technique. If it were a player, let alone rain within a range of thousands of square meters, the rain within a range of more than ten meters would tire them to death.

Of course, it definitely made sense for the drow mage to consume so much mana, and the heavy rain not only extinguished the flames, but also obstructed the view of the defenders on the city walls. But this heavy rain came a little late. Most importantly, the heavy rain doesn't just obstruct the view of the defenders on the walls. The same is true of those attackers under the walls. Don't look at the drow, the elves have very good night vision. But under the heavy rain, their vision was also blocked. All the attackers braved the heavy rain to charge towards the walls, and the minotaurs who rushed to the front even began to let out a roar of battle, but the bull's roars came to an abrupt end as their bodies were engulfed by the trenches placed outside the walls.

When Chen Kai was still in Berkner. He and Xu Fei summarized the loopholes of the urban defense system of the towns that were captured by the Drow Elves, and at the same time summarized the tactical rules of the Drow Elves' siege battles. They found that most of the time the minotaurs were used as cannon fodder or strikers to attack on the front line, and their large bodies and strong defenses could withstand many traps. It is precisely because of the Minotaur that many traps placed outside the city have lost their due function. Especially the trenches. The original trench of two meters and five deep did not mean anything at all to the minotaurs, who could jump out of the trench with just a brace of their hands. The most important thing is that these trenches are easy to spot under the detection of the drow elves, and then let them cross it calmly.

So Chen Kai and the others not only deepened the trench, but also thickened the layer of dirt used to cover the trench so thick that even a warrior wearing heavy armor would not trigger the trap if he stood on it. For the Drow Elves, this kind of trap was the most difficult to find, because the soil layer of the trench they had originally obtained did not match the soil layer that Chen Kai was now laying on the trap. Therefore, these drows did not detect these trench traps at all, and as a result, the minotaurs who rushed in front were directly tragic. Due to their height and fatness, they were even heavier than a human warrior wearing heavy armor, plus they were a huge force that gathered their charges, and almost at the same time, under the action of their feet, and then when they lifted one foot, the huge weight directly caused everyone to fall into a huge pit four meters deep and two meters wide at the same time.

Behind the Minotaur, Drow also had no time to brake, and followed the Minotaur into a huge pit. If this pit is just independent, that's fine. But Chen Kai and the others dug the trench not only very deep, but also very long. As a result, the trench became a roadblock for the Drow elves, engulfing at least five hundred minotaurs and dozens of drows. It also blocked the path of the drow elves behind him. Of course, if that's all there is to it, with the agility and jumping power of the Drow Elves, the two-meter-wide trench can easily be jumped over. But you must know that Chen Kai and his people have used spells to reuse the trench in order to make the trench reusable, and the purpose of the waterproof and leak-proof reinforcement is to retain the layer of black liquid in the trench. Almost at the same time that the minotaurs fell into the trench, the black grease was ignited at the same time, and it was only a careful spell ignition device that ignited the black oil.

When the red flames rose under their feet, most of the Drow elves who fell all the way chose to step on the minotaur body and jump out of the trench, and those minotaurs also wanted to jump out of the trench, but the four-meter-high trench not only cost Chen Kai a lot of their strength when digging, but also took into account the situation that the people inside might jump out when designing. It's a pity that they were forced to give up due to the high cost, but after all, there are only a few drow elves who can successfully jump out, because they have already fallen by the time they fall, and the flames are almost instantaneous and the entire trench must be completed in more than ten seconds if they want to jump out.

In the end, only a few drows escaped from the trench before the flames ignited, and there were hundreds of minotaurs who helped each other out of the trenches after the flames were ignited. But the flames burning on their bodies still could not be extinguished, and even if they escaped from the trench purgatory, they were still seriously injured. These fuels carefully made by Bai Shasha and He Liwen are not only black in color, but also black and deep, black and terrifying, not only have extremely strong adhesion when burning, but also have a terrifying high temperature. The most important thing is that there is a terrible poison gas in the smoke from the combustion, and in fact many of the minotaurs who died in the trenches were not burned, but poisoned.

With their superhuman night vision, the Drow could see the churning green clouds above the trench, which slowly dissipated over time, but more remained attached to the trench. Let the minotaurs below die in agony. It is with this layer of poisonous clouds that it is blocked. The drow elves behind did not dare to jump over the trench rashly. Because they were not sure if there were any undetected traps behind the trenches, and the drow who were in charge of the investigation were even dead. As a scout, it is their job to detect traps in itself, if only a few small traps have not been detected, it is at most just because the time is too rushed, but such a large-scale trench has not been discovered, and it can definitely be described as dereliction of duty.

Fortunately, this time it was the Minotaur who died the most. If it were the drow elves, these drow scouts would definitely not escape death. Of course, the death of the minotaur is definitely a good thing for the people defending the city, although this good thing is to exclude Alyssa and her minotaurs, after all, the dead minotaurs are still Alyssa's people, and they naturally can't be happy. But for the town of Burkner, the dead minotaurs were the biggest hidden danger in the siege, because the minotaur seismic waves were too strong. Even the tallest and strongest walls could not withstand their constant trampling. It can be said that the dead minotaurs saved the town of Burkna from a small threat, but there are still many minotaurs behind the drow elves who rushed over, and the number of these minotaurs is still a great danger to the city walls.

It's just that with the hundreds of minotaurs as a warning, the drow and minotaurs behind are much more careful when moving. However, no matter how careful they were, they would inevitably be attacked, and most importantly, as they got closer and closer to the walls, the weapons on the city could pose a great threat and damage to them. For the strongest of the Drow Elves, they found the town of Burkner more difficult to attack than they expected, especially the Drow who had first launched a vindictive slash against Donnie and Kim, who was now cared for by at least four heavy bed crossbows mixed with magic crystal cannons.

As for the drow elven archmage, although he wanted to take care of the defenders of the city wall in the air after the magic was restored, such as rewarding a huge hailstone or something. But not once when he was in the air. The two idle magic crystal cannons on the city wall will take care of him fiercely. Crossing the attack range of nearly a kilometer, it hit him, and although the power of the magic crystal beam was not large, if it was hit by the vital point, it would be fatal. The most important thing is that the accuracy of these two magic crystal cannons is too high. Gao made this drow elf archmage think that the other party was attacking him in front of him.

Of course, if this Drow Elf Archmage knew that Chen Kai had invested a lot of money in order to enhance the aiming ability of these magic crystal cannons, especially after the arrival of the Drow Elves, in order to increase their aiming ability at night. Even the players who operate these magic crystal cannons are hired for money, two ace snipers of the SWAT team in reality, and one is an ace sniper in the army. Although it was only a temporary worker, in order to hire these three temporary workers, Chen Kai entrusted Lin Lei with a salary of 100,000 yuan per month alone, and he was still one person. The most important thing is that they don't go online very often, and only occasionally come up to report. Today, the Drow Elf Archmage can be said to be very unlucky, as it happened to be a situation where all three snipers were online, and this situation was less than three times in this month.

Equally unfortunate was the Drow Warrior, who was a sniper who attacked him, and he thought he was not a good sniper. Because he had easily dodged the rays of the magic crystal cannon shot by the other party several times, but he didn't know that these beams were all designed to lead him to the edge of the city wall, to the most powerful position of the magic crystal cannon. As soon as he stepped into this attack range, a beam of magic crystal cannon that was at least twice as thick as before gradually enlarged in front of him. Although this drow elf powerhouse tried his best to dodge, the speed of the beam was faster than his movement speed, even if there was a distance of nearly three hundred meters as a buffer, but this distance could be calculated for some people.

When a blood light lit up, the extremely sharp magic crystal cannon ray directly passed through the body of this drow elf powerhouse, even if he was as high as the Holy Rank, he eventually lost his arm forever. The blood that rose to the sky was mixed with a roar and a miserable howl, for a warrior, the arm is his most important thing, and losing the arm is equivalent to cutting off half of the fighter's combat power and the possibility of promotion in the future. The most important thing is that this flying arm was shot down by the beam of the magic crystal cannon, and the fracture was completely burned, and it was impossible to connect it.

But the player who delivered the blow slammed the ground hard, because he knew that the million prize money that was about to arrive was gone, and the arm shot down was worth a maximum of 100,000 yuan. Because according to the agreement made by Chen Kai and them. If they killed a Saint-rank powerhouse in battle, then one Chen Kai rewarded them with one million. Of course, Chen Kai originally thought that this was basically impossible. But I didn't expect this soldier brother to really do it. It's a pity that a little bit of a drow elf sanctuary will be hated on the spot. But the Drow Elf's serious injury shocked the other Drow at once, especially the Drow Archmage in the sky, who almost fell out of the sky in fright. Of course, he still planted it in the end, because at the moment when he lost his mind, two equally thick magic crystal cannon rays directly slashed through the sky and slammed into the magic shield on the surface of his body. The beams of the two magic crystal cannons almost blasted into the same position, one after the other. Instantly shattered the magic shield and struck the drow elf's archmage.

It's just that there are too many things for the mage to save his life, although the two magic crystal rays almost hit directly, but due to the distance of up to a kilometer and the power of the magic crystal cannon itself, the most important thing is that the drow elf's robe activated the protective spell at the last moment. The result was the Drow Elf Archmage who had been shot to death. In the end, he survived. As he staggered into the air, the two snipers who fired the blow also slapped their legs and shouted. Because they also didn't take off the bounty given by Chen Kai, the most important thing is that the barrels of the three magic crystal cannons that were launched at super power have all been scrapped, and the molten metal droplets slowly drip down from the muzzle.

Of course, Chen Kai did not prepare a spare barrel, but it also takes time to change the barrel, and during this time, the Drow Elf may find the problem of the magic crystal cannon. But they may be even more fearful, because no one knows if the walls will be fired again, and perhaps when they think that the walls have no ability to fight back, a new attack will take away the lives they have managed to escape. The attack at night ended in the defeat of the Drow Elves, and the town of Burkna lost only a trench and three million-dollar crystal cannon barrels, and of course, the bounty to be paid to the three snipers.

Chen Kai didn't know everything from Su Xinghe, who was off the line, until after the battle was over. It's a pity that even if he knows that he can't go online, the system still prompts him that his body is in the process of resurrection. And this time the exact time of the resurrection was finally given. According to the system time that has just passed, Chen Kai will need 56 hours, 32 minutes and 15 seconds to be resurrected, and to put it bluntly, it will take at least two and a half days. This time made Chen Kai very depressed, because it was exactly seven days after he hung up, which means that he could not be resurrected until his first seven days in the game were over. What made Chen Kai even more depressed was that this resurrection time eventually became a common practice for all lord players when they died in battle, basically every player lord died in a battle and it took seven days to be resurrected.

It's just that this general rule is not popular with players, especially player lords, at least not long ago, Lin Lei almost didn't him off because he unfortunately hung up in a battle, and as a result, he was resurrected after the first seven days of the game like Chen Kai. In fact, the system also wants to use this method to balance the increase in the strength of the lord player or the speed of obtaining wealth, because although the lord player invests more than the ordinary player, the income is sometimes several times that of the ordinary player, and the player who generally gets the special preferential treatment of the system is at least a lord or above, and the territory has basically entered a stage of rapid development, and the income is very rich. For example, Chen Kai's territory earns a day, which is basically the hard work of tens of thousands of players in a day.

Knowing the news that Chen Kai was about to be resurrected, even if it would take two and a half days, it would be a good thing for others. It's just that no one knows if those Drow Elves will attack again after tonight, especially this time there have been two Drow Elf Holy Steps and they have only been exposed, God knows if there are other Saint Realm powerhouses hidden in the attack tonight, but they just didn't make a move. At the same time, the night's fighting also exposed some of the field defenses of Burkner, and although those trenches were built this time, they may not be effective the next time. The most important thing is that the biggest problem exposed tonight is the lack of troops, and some of the bed crossbows and catapults on the city wall have not been as effective as they should have been due to the problems of the operators. It was impossible to solve these problems before Chen Kai's resurrection, because recruiting soldiers required the lord's seal and consent, and this lord's seal was not handed over because of Chen Kai's death, so the replenishment of soldiers became impossible.
