Chapter 153: The Battle Around the Pyramids (2)
In the next second hour, the opponent's attack pattern changed as follows: when encountering the infighting between the soldiers manipulated by Yun Zhongyue, only those soldiers within 5 meters of the rebellious soldiers would pay attention and quell the chaos, the other soldiers would just charge towards the pyramid, and when the archers entered a 10-meter radius from the pyramid, they began to shoot their arrows at the pyramid.
Yun Zhongyue's response was to fire two psychic commands in a row, causing the shooters and loaders of the four trebuchets to fight each other, and at the same time, he issued two psychic commands in succession, each time ordering two soldiers to attack the archers beside them, and then sending a group of psychic commands to make the soldiers all retreat.
Kong Xiuying can conclude from the time that Yun Zhongyue has reached the limit of issuing four instructions to manipulate soldiers to make chaos in the time interval between the two mass spiritual power commands, and she has no spare strength and time to issue the fifth spiritual power command, so some of the archers' arrows have been shot at the pyramid, which is the first time that the pyramid has suffered a direct attack since the war, but fortunately, the attack power of the bow and arrow on the pyramid is very limited; As for the soldiers who charged forward, the distance from the pyramid was gradually closing with each wave.
Kong Xiuying can see that except for Yun Zhongyue's use of spiritual stabbing to kill 7 soldiers with sledgehammers on her shoulders at the beginning, she has been focusing on the soldiers and archers who operate trebuchets in her later time, obviously to eliminate the threat of long-range attacks, and here is of course the biggest threat of trebuchets, and everyone will treat trebuchets as a focus. And Yun Zhongyue didn't shorten the time interval between the two mass mental power commands, of course she should know that this would prevent the pyramid from being shot by the arrows of the archers, but it would also increase the consumption of her mental power and affect the time she spent maintaining the mental force field space in the pyramid; The current response rhythm should be the ideal rhythm that Yun Zhongyue has considered.
Kong Xiuying noticed that Yun Zhongyue had now used the Spirit Thorn 11 times, According to the calculation of the consumption of 0.1 mental power points by issuing spiritual thorns in the pyramid, she has consumed a total of 1.1 spiritual power points, Yun Zhongyue uses mass mental power commands here more frequently than she uses on Snake Island, and between the two mass mental power commands in Snake Island, Yun Zhongyue did not issue other individual mental power commands, according to these circumstances, Kong Xiuying deduced that Yun Zhongyue must not be able to hold on to 4 hours in the pyramid, it depends on how long she can hold up at most.
In this repeated charge and retreat, another hour passed, and the forward of the attacking soldiers was already close to only 3 meters away from the pyramid, during which Yun Zhongyue consumed some soldiers with the help of the opponent's internal fighting, which was negligible compared to the total number of soldiers who frequently joined in. Only archers have dealt damage to the pyramid during this time, and the pyramid is now 99% intact based on the pyramid integrity progress bar floating in the tower.
The third hour of the cloud moon guarding the pyramid arrived, and at this time, the attacker's drums and whistles were more intense, and the shouting of the opposing commander was frequently interspersed, and the attacker's attack formation was slightly adjusted compared to before.
In the past, the attacking arms were mixed and matched, but now the opponent has formed a squad of archers and soldiers with sledgehammers on their shoulders to act together, and the proportion of archers and soldiers with sledgehammers on their shoulders has also increased, and archers and soldiers with sledgehammers are now 10 men marching together in two rows.
Yun Zhongyue has now adjusted her strategy accordingly, after she issued two mental power commands to control the loaders and shooters of the four trebuchets to fight infighting, she then issued two mental power commands, each time ordering two archers to fire arrows at the archers in front of her, so that in each round of charging and retreating, you can consume more enemy archers, but due to the increase in the total number of archers, there are still more archers who can fire arrows at the pyramid than in the previous round, and Yun Zhongyue should be powerless to do anything about this, Fortunately, the trebuchet was still under her control, and it was never able to fire a stone projectile. I don't know if the soldiers of the other classes are deliberately making way for the soldiers with sledgehammers on their shoulders, but it can be seen that the soldiers with sledgehammers on their shoulders are approaching the pyramid at a faster speed than the other soldiers.
This lasted for another half an hour, and the soldiers who were crowded in the front row of the charging team were basically those soldiers with sledgehammers on their shoulders, and the soldiers closest to the pyramid were more than 1 meter, just when Kong Xiuying was paying attention to what further measures Yun Zhongyue would take, Yun Zhongyue's spiritual force field space suddenly retracted to a range of 2 meters around her body, and Kong Xiuying could no longer perceive the space outside the pyramid through Yun Zhongyue's spiritual force field, and she immediately understood that Yun Zhongyue's spiritual force field could be downgraded; Yun Zhongyue's reaction speed was also extremely fast, and without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the energy crystal that the waiter had explained before, and quickly placed it in a wooden tray suspended above his head, and the energy crystal was immediately stimulated; Now you can see the 25-meter radius around the pyramid that you controlled before in the space of the spiritual force field of Yun Zhongyue, which should be due to the auxiliary effect of the energy crystal.
The energy spar is now playing its due role, you can see that the soldiers are retreating to the periphery, and the soldiers operating the trebuchet are also disassembling the trebuchet and pushing it away, these soldiers quickly withdrew from the range perceived by the mental force field space, and no longer tried to break in again, the whistles and drums outside, and the shouts of the officers gradually faded away. During this period, Yun Zhongyue did not send out any more spiritual power commands or spiritual thorns.
The next task of guarding the pyramid is to hand over the energy crystal, Yun Zhongyue checked that the integrity of the pyramid is 98%, clicked on the repair, and paid the repair cost of 2 gold coins. Yun Zhongyue chose to teleport back to the skill hall, and there was still 1.5 hours left to protect the pyramid, and Yun Zhongyue paid another 3.75 gold for the protection fee of the energy crystal, and then quit the game.
Kong Xiuying later talked to Xu Ran, Chen Xiangxiang and Li Xin at the sheep herding base when Yun Zhongyue could only issue mental power commands or spiritual thorns to two targets at a time, Xu Ran analyzed that it might be her current maximum ability, and maybe it would increase with the increase of ability in the future.
Xu Ran also went to try the sheep in the sheep grazing base a few times, and then said that he himself could not issue mental power commands to two sheep at the same time, and it felt a bit like splitting his brain into two to aim at two targets at the same time, and the difficulty was not ordinary.
Regarding the problem that Yun Zhongyue can directly kill soldiers with spirit thorns, Chen Xiangxiang raised questions, Xu Ran and Kong Xiuying both felt that if the difference in spiritual power value was very large, the spirit thorn should have the ability to directly kill soldiers.
Since listening to Li Xin's security warning, they generally no longer talk about sensitive issues in the group, worried about the need for hackers to steal important information.
After Kong Xiuying saw the shape of the pyramid in her dream last night, she felt that it was very similar to the shape of the pyramid she had seen in the movie before in reality.
Chen Xiangxiang couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Haven't the experts always been unclear about what the pyramid is for, it can't really be used to increase spiritual power?" Xu Ran, Kong Xiuying, and Li Xin all felt that it was really likely to be used for this.
