Chapter 64: The Shield Array
It was late at night, and the fire was blazing around the makeshift barracks.
Li Xiaomo sat in the middle of the camp, frowning slightly, he had no time to cultivate in the past two weeks, and he could only rely on the shadow wolf to obtain spiritual power for him every day, but he had not been able to break through until now, which had seriously delayed his progress and made him a little irritable.
Swiftbird patrolled at high altitude and soon discovered the anomaly, he opened his eyes, his face finally flashed with joy, he knew that he could break through tonight.
The route of an army of demon rats happened to pass through the camp, the number was not too many, but it was not a lot, and by visual inspection of thousands, Xunniao found several of them with huge body demon rats, which were elite-level.
The shadow wolf came out of his spatial ring, raised his head and roared, and the soldiers sitting cross-legged on the ground immediately stood up, not too neatly moved, but not bad, after all, the training time was too short, and it was already a rare achievement to have this achievement.
"Frank, you're in command. "Li Xiaomo has been cultivating Frank recently, and when he arrives on the battlefield, he must absorb spiritual power everywhere, and there must be a commander to replace him, and Frank is the best candidate.
"Well, voila. Frank was excited, he had seen the flying sand and immediately led the man out of the camp.
The sound of armor sounded suddenly, the army left the camp and dispersed, each team of 100 people, in a group of 10 people, heavy shields connected to each other, forming a shield ball, staggered with each other, orderly before and after.
These heavy shields are organically enclosed, once opened, the edges bite each other, the shield feet can also poke out deep into the ground, each shield has observation holes and attack holes, there are holes in the joint surface, there are enemies to attack, these shield balls are like a hedgehog, caught in it will be attacked in all directions, is a combination of attack and defense formation.
Of course, the changes in the shield array are far more than that, which is why they are convinced by Li Xiaomo.
Soon the army of demon rats came to the front, they didn't know how difficult the shield ball was, and they rushed into it and were immediately attacked intensively, but their bite had no effect on the shield ball.
"Watch out for the rats attacking from underground!" Frank shouted as he stood behind and gave orders, Modi and Zabi had already rushed into the rat army, and he wanted to go, but as a commander, he knew what he was supposed to do.
Li Xiaomo rode the shadow wolf around, and there was too much spiritual power, and the lethality of being in a position to deal with this kind of attack was amazing.
"Zabi, stop it!" Modi jumped out from behind the shield ball and ambushed an elite demon rat, not wanting the elite demon rat to be very alert, he flicked his head and ran to the right, Modi hurriedly shouted.
Zabi ran head-on, the war hammer flung away, the elite demon rat jumped on the shield ball, and a war spear poked out from its abdomen, how could it have time to dodge, it was immediately pierced through the abdomen, and as soon as the war spear was retracted, it rolled down.
"Yuan Dongzhu counts me as a share!" Qin Haoran's voice came from the shield ball, and the spear just now was obviously stabbed by him.
"Haha, Lao Qin, well done. Modi ran over and put the elite demon rat into the space ring, and heard Qin Haoran shouting: "Lao Tzu is not a few years older than you, what are you calling Lao Qin." ”
Modi smiled "hehe": "Don't say that buddy is not righteous, this bead is yours." ”
After speaking, he jumped on the shield ball and looked around, and suddenly saw Li Xiaomo's shadow wolf throwing an elite demon rat into the air, and then Li Xiaomo shot an ice arrow between his waves, the ice arrow was blue all over, the silk white mist was entangled, castration was like electricity, and it passed through the jaw of the elite demon rat, and then the wound was frozen, and after the demon rat fell, the wound was directly broken around it.
"Instantaneous fourth-level ice arrow?" Qin Haoran shouted.
Fourth-level ice arrows are nothing remarkable, only the sixth-level with the highest difficulty in engraving is a skill, Qin Haoran is a seventh-order elite warrior, of course, he will not be surprised by the fourth-level ice arrow, he is surprised by the instantaneous, by the standards of ordinary people, he can already be called a genius if he can instantaneously send ice arrows in the late stage of the elite level, but Li Xiaomo is not even an elite level.
Modi kicked his shield and shouted, "Where are you looking?" and hurriedly ran over to collect the corpse of the elite demon rat.
Li Xiaomo couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't bother to grab it from Modi, and besides, he didn't have a magic staff, and he couldn't use it if he took the Yuan Movement Bead.
After more than an hour of fighting, the demon rat army retreated after leaving a corpse in one place, they don't have much intelligence, but they won't be stupid enough to die in vain, and the shield array is not something they can break.
Frank watched the demon rat leave in a hurry and ordered the soldiers to return to the camp to rest.
He could have encircled and suppressed these demon rats by changing formations, but he refused to do so, and some of the soldiers were slightly injured by the demon rats' attack from the ground, and he didn't want to cause battle damage here.
Li Xiaomo did not return to the camp and sat down in place.
Early in the morning, he stood up, water vapor flashed around his body, and he was immediately covered with a layer of cold ice armor, which was an eighth-level water skill, and his defense was not weak.
With a shake of his body, his armor disappeared, and he was just about to return to the barracks when the communicator he was issued trembled.
After a short call, his brows furrowed, and Timo asked him to enter the defense zone early, which showed that the battle situation was already very urgent.
A medium-sized transport ship flew in with two smaller warships, and Teemo didn't even give him time to return to the assembly point.
Gale City is located in the first line of defense in the southern theater of operations, and there is a camp every ten miles outside the south gate, lined up, staggered front and back, a full three layers of defense line, like a huge shield.
The camp consisted of four gates, surrounded by fortifications, and the tall scattering ballistae were distributed within the fortifications, which were the forward positions for the Calamity.
At this moment, the army of darkness was overwhelming, and the camp was breached one after another.
Lacking the depth of the camp, the dark army ran like a tide, hundreds of gray-skinned giants crowded outside the south gate of Gael, struggling to smash the tall city gate with wooden or stone sticks, the defenders on the city walls poured crossbow arrows and fire oil, and the gray-skinned giants below also returned fire with stones, both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the dark creatures were huge in number, and humans could not withstand the attrition.
Leonor stood on the city wall, dressed in aqua blue elementalist leather armor, with delicate lines painted in the middle of her chest, and a stone spirit inlaid in the center of the lines, not only leather armor, but also a stone spirit on the metal bracers and combat boots, and the staff in her hand In addition to the stone spirit, there were five Yuan Movement Beads shining brightly, and as the staff waved, thunder and light fell in the sky, even the gray-skinned giants more than three meters tall outside the door were unbearable, and the middle fell to the ground immediately.
The thunder element is a rare elemental ability, and her lightning is almost not stagnant, and the power is huge, which shows that the affinity is extremely high, which may also have something to do with the equipment on her body.
However, the consumption of thunder skills on Yuan Li is not small, and she also looks a little weak at the moment.
"Your Royal Highness, the camp has almost been breached, so you better leave as soon as possible. Qin Chuan, the commander of Gael City in warrior armor, hurried over, his armor was torn in many places, and he almost lost his ability to defend himself.
Leonor said: "Qin Chuan, you are not qualified to order me, please stick to your defensive line." "When he spoke, his hands were not idle, and the thunder kept bombarding.
Two more transport ships were escorted back, but the tail was emitting black smoke, it was not easy to fly, she looked overhead, and said to Qin Chuan: "The students of the Warrior Academy have withdrawn from the camp, you go and see how their casualties are." ”
Qin Chuan sighed: "That's the first and second brigades of the First Mobile Legion, the No. 3 camp that I only went to this morning, I didn't expect to come back now, this is an ace team composed of all soldiers." "He was obviously very disappointed with the students of the Warrior Academy and ran down the city walls.
Soon he brought some students up, and when they saw the princess, they were stunned, and they all came forward to salute her.
Leonor turned her head to look, there were many familiar faces inside, Nangong Zhixi, Jace, Catherine, Anderson, Adam, but these people's faces were extremely pale, how could they still have the demeanor of the past.
Leonor nodded to them, and was just about to speak, when suddenly there was a strange noise at the city gate, and Qin Chuan shouted "not good" and ran down.
