Chapter 973: Passive
The wood elves hiding in the darkness didn't even think about the ambush, and they were confronted by a row of powerful elemental bombardments.
Essien's figure was reflected, and he ran towards the camp in a panic, as if aware of the impending devastating blow behind him, and as meteors fell, he swooped down on a giant tree next to him.
The sentinels saw only this scene, and then heard a loud and violent bang...
"Boom, boom—"
There was no need for warning, everyone knew that an enemy was coming.
The elemental attacks of the Wood Elves are not formed spells like the "Fireball Technique", but a simple "elemental attack" mixed with various departments. To put it bluntly, they are the most primitive form of spell attack. The "Fireball Technique" used by normal mages requires the fire element to be condensed, shaped, and propelled, and requires an explosion after a collision. However, the attacks of the Wood Elves are far less complicated, and the explosion that occurs after they land is completely caused by the instability of the elements themselves, and their power cannot be compared with the "Fireball Technique" of the same level.
However, even if their spells are weaker than their peers, they can't withstand the numbers. Under the bombardment of more than a dozen rays of light, the three giant trees were blown off on the spot, and countless snowflakes were shaken down, as if it was snowing heavily here for a while.
Essien's figure vanished, but because he was standing far away from the camp, the spells did not do any damage to the mercenaries in the camp.
The explosion caused the mercenaries lying in the tent to crawl out in terror. When Panda stood up with the necklace in hand, Kardashian had already raised her staff and pointed to the sky, and the light of the "illumination" instantly reflected the entire battlefield.
However, everyone only had time to confirm the enemy's location, and the wood elves who had already rushed over had already rushed into a distance of forty meters in the falling snowflakes, and a wave of arrows was coming!
"Take cover!"
With Kardashian's shout, she slammed the wand in her hand to the ground under her feet, and the surrounding ice elements immediately formed a translucent ice wall two meters high and six meters wide, blocking not far in front of Rubens and the others.
The "crackling" sound of the arrow hitting was instantaneous. The location of Roddy and the others happened to be facing the wood elves, so the first rain of arrows and spell attacks were coming towards a few people around the campfire. Kardashian's decisive spell cast won a few seconds of reaction time for Panda and the others in the rear, and Panda, as the commander, immediately shouted: "And find cover, and counterattack with bows and arrows and spells!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Wood Elf had already cast another round of elemental attacks.
On a tactical level, these Wood Elves are stupid. Because this stance is completely powerful and has no place to use - the new recruits often use all their strength when swinging their swords, without even thinking about blocking or counterattacking, and this group of Wood Elves is clearly doing a similar approach.
Dealing with a peripheral sentry, or a simple spell barrier, it actually requires a dozen people to cast a spell attack together. Seeing the other party's approach, Panda's heart settled down inexplicably: this kind of combat directly exposed that the other party was a rookie, as long as he held for a while, there would be an attack interval, and his mercenaries could wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
He had already fought against this group of wood elves once, and although it was only a short time, as a former arcanist, he had roughly figured out the way and nature of the opponent's attack.
"Devitt!
When he hid behind a tree, the wall of ice cast by Kardashian had been shattered by a spell. But the whole team has quickly found cover. In a few seconds, Panda's first magic was also released: a silver light bloomed, and a faint halo appeared in front of the bodies of each mercenary present.
The crowd didn't know what it was, but the second round of attacks from the Wood Elves had left them with no time to think, and without interruption, three rounds of spell strikes continued to bombard behind the giant tree they were dodging, and when the impact and concussion left everyone's vision full of falling snow, they realized... This group of enemies is stronger than you think.
The other party obviously only has more than 20 people, but after surrounding the camp, they began to bombard the spells non-stop, and the mercenary group here only has three mages, and it is really stretched thin in the face of the opponent's more than 20 spellcasters - even if Panda and another priest are trying to resist, they can't resist this attack method that seems to be infinitely magical...
"... What's going on!?"
Louis, a mage who had faced the Wood Elves before, found that the strength and speed of these guys' attacks had increased significantly, and in the continuous blooming light, he was constantly knocked back, and the staff in his hand finally shattered on the spot because he could not withstand this magic consumption.
"Ahh
In the chaos, the group of mercenaries did not always hide behind trees without doing anything. One of the seven or eight arrows fired in a row finally made a contribution, and it led to a scream.
Roddy held his short bow and had already fired a third arrow at the speed of a "normal shooter" - he didn't release water when he aimed, but in order not to reveal his strength, he attacked the chest of the wood elf instead of the head.
The "fine short bow" in his hand was a workshop item bought by the city of Hollier, and in terms of quality, it was much better than the inferior short bow he used when he came to this world. However, this bow is only used at the basic level of 15... The maximum damage is only 230.
Roddy usually uses the epic short bow given by Lord Victor, and without triggering the special effect, it is about thirty times higher than the bow's maximum damage.
With a hunting arrow with extremely low lethality, even if the target is only more than forty meters away, the trajectory of the arrow still has an extremely obvious downward deviation after shooting - he confirmed that he hit three targets, but there is no doubt that these hit guys don't seem to be injured at all, and they still stand there and keep casting spells.
The screaming wood elf was knocked down by Nata. After all, the bow she used was not changed, and in the face of such an attack suddenly, Nata would not have thought about "releasing the water" at all... She was not far from Roddy's side, and after shooting three arrows in a row, she dodged back, and then the big tree behind her was hit by seven or eight rays of light, and the flying sawdust crackled on Roddy's head, he directly threw away the bow and arrows and fell to the ground with his head, and when he looked up again, he found that Nata had moved out more than ten meters to the side like a ghost.
This was clearly on the verge of revealing his strength, but Roddy glanced at Panda and found that the latter hadn't noticed this side at all, but was also bombarded by the ferocious spell bombardment.
"Priest Panda!What to do!?"
The shield that Kardashian had just released was shattered again, and she shouted loudly, and the whole team was completely passive at the moment. If it weren't for the mage's desperate efforts to release the shield, I'm afraid those mercenaries hiding behind the trees would have been blown away.
It stands to reason that this kind of attack can't last long, and Panda has never given an order, just waiting for the other party's attack vacuum. However, after waiting for six rounds, this group of wood elves did not seem to stop at all!
