Chapter 19: The Plague of the Gnolls (4)

[Lightning Bolt]: Fires multiple lightning bolts that search for targets on their own.

Current Skill Level: 20;Lightning Damage: 13-15;Quantity 22;Mana Cost: 12.5;Lightning Bolt is given an additional bonus by the following skills: [Lightning], +6% lightning damage per skill level.

As soon as this skill came out, the gnolls who rushed to the front were immediately put down.

However, there were only a few dozen fallen figures, and the empty seats they had fallen were quickly filled by the gnolls behind. Compared to the number of gnolls, the damage caused by this round of [lightning bullets] is really insignificant. On the whole, this just adds to the confusion of the already chaotic gnolls.

However, the first round of lightning was just the beginning. The spells of the Nephilims, apart from those that continue to channel, are seldom spells that require the same slow casting as the spells on Azeroth's side. Most of the time, a spell can be cast with a single spell that looks like a weapon swing with just a bit of magic.

And for the traverser, even if the consumption of lightning bullets is not small, it is completely within the range of what he can afford. The mage profession in [Legend of Nephilim 3], the basic mana recovery is as high as 10 points/second, and then the mana recovery of his profession is superimposed, and the most important thing is a passive skill called [Heating] - increase the mana recovery speed by 258%, this kind of consumed skill, throw it casually.

So, while leaning on a man-tall shield to defend against long-range attacks, Marcus frantically stretched out his long sword from the edge of the tower shield and swung it. By infusing the surrounding air ions with mana, it continuously emits explosive lightning power, bringing out lightning bolts one after another. It wasn't until there was no more standing gnolls in the large-angle cone area in front of him, which was only four or five yards long, that he stopped this crazy spell that he hadn't shaken so fast in a nightclub.

At this time, in the area facing him, there were almost hundreds of charred gnoll corpses lying horizontally.

At this moment, no matter how fierce and brainless the creature of the gnolls is, the two wings have just rushed to the human defense line and started fighting, and the main force in the middle has been almost put down a few steps away from the human defense line, looking at the charred black corpses that are still twitching, the red-eyed jackals have a lot of miserable howls, throwing down their weapons and fleeing backwards.

"We've withstood the gnolls' onslaught?" said one of the lieutenants beside Marcus, who hadn't had time to engage the gnolls yet, with a look of disbelief. "It looks like we're still hopeful, as long as we can have this kind of magical support every time the gnolls attack......"

"It's so beautiful. Marcus sighed and looked around at the soldiers who were relieved that the first wave of the gnolls had broken down, "My magic recovery can keep up, but it's just a temptation...... If the gnolls were really so easy to be defeated, so many gnolls would not have been able to gather at all. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the gnoll's rout suddenly stopped. In Marcus's eyes, he could clearly see a rather old gnoll man with gray-white hair on the hill in the distance. The hunched older gnolll was dressed in metal armor and held a staff in his hand - apparently a spellcaster, and judging by the metal armor, it should have been a shamanic sacrifice (except for freaks like Marcus, the only caster who can wear chain mail is a shaman).

As soon as the gnoll shaman priest raised the staff in his hand, the gnoll vanguard who were howling and fleeing frantically stopped immediately.

"Whew-" the gnoll shaman howled, "Humans, warriors, take out human bones and make them into decorations!"

The behavior of the older gnolls shaman was echoed by the surrounding gnolls, and suddenly, the cries of "whoa" and "whoa" rose one after another.

The shaman nodded in satisfaction, took some green powder from his waist pocket, and threw it into the air, letting the force of the wind carry it to the heads of the large leather-clad gnoll men around him, who were generally one head taller than the gnolls who had attacked the camp before.

"Ancestors are watching you! Kill the humans! Bloodthirsty!"

The gnolls with forgiveness-colored powder on their heads roared in anger, their eyes even reddering. Regardless of whether they were affected by Bloodlust or not, the gnolls screamed again and charged towards Marcus' camp.

Faster than these gnolls who rushed up again were the ranged attacks of the gnolls poachers, gnolls assassins, and gnolls shooters. And ninety percent of this attack was aimed at Marcus, forcing Nephilia to shrink even more completely, and basically couldn't raise his head.

But that's okay, Nephilim's spells were never serious and required chanting, gestures, gestures, and so on!

"Lightning Bullet!"

"Lightning Bullet!"

"Lightning Bullet!"

......

The gnolls who rushed up were once again put down in a large area, only this time, because of the big guys who had turned on the bloodthirsty spell, the gnolls' morale did not collapse as before. As soon as these guys appeared, it was clear that they had a high morale boost, and in their bloodthirsty state, they were still burdened with overseeing the battle, and Marcus had seen more than once the gnolls trying to escape being brought down by the big guys.

What's even more troublesome is that the big guys are different from those gnoloid brutes who can be put down by one or two bolts of lightning, and they often have to eat four or five rounds before they fall, and after all, there are only 22 small lightning bolts at a time, and Marcus's range kill effect is suddenly affected. And these guys charged fast, and the Gnoll's offensive did not collapse, and a large number of Gnolls quickly rushed to the defensive line and began to destroy the poor wooden fence and the human soldiers behind the wooden fence.

The situation on the battlefield quickly tilted in favor of the gnolls. When Marcus cast a spell at high speed, and the [lightning bullets] smashed out brainlessly destroyed the gnolls faster than the speed of the opponent's rush, and easily cleared a clearing, the threat of the gnolls was of course greatly reduced.

But now, even on Marcus's defensive line and even in front of him, when there are Jackal Warriors coming with [Lightning Bullets], the clearing and suppression effect of spells has become quite poor.

Faced with an enemy close at hand, Marcus couldn't help but use the [Fire Bullet], a skill with a maximum damage of 60, which is 4 times the maximum damage of a single lightning bolt of [Lightning Bullet], to kill those big guys. It's not a game after all, and spells don't automatically distinguish between friend and foe. Even if these bursting lightning bolts would find and strike their targets on their own, it would be impossible for the human soldiers to put up a human wall to protect Marcus. Marcus could only rely on his spell to prevent himself from harming, and cast lightning from the edge of the outer metal-clad tower shield - he couldn't guarantee that if the humans got too close, the lightning wouldn't fly back and crash into the metal armor and weapons that conducted electricity and guided lightning.

Because of the need to make space, if he still insists on being on the front line, which would not be too effective, he also needs to help the soldiers who are guarding him on both sides to deal with the big guys who have rushed to the line.

Although the [Lightning Bullet] can automatically seek enemies, the flutter of the lightning is really uncertain. Although it is automatic to find the target, this is this kind of spell that flies blindly towards the target, the farther the casting distance is pulled, the more scattered the lightning drifts, and the more it cannot be concentrated in a small area. No matter how experienced or fast the spell was cast by Marcus, it was useless, and after the lightning floated ten yards, the distance between the two lightning bolts was probably not thirty or forty yards! It's no problem to retreat to a relatively safe standard casting area, but the lethality of a single small lightning bolt is not high, and there is no need to let them kill an area intensively by sticking to their faces, and the number of gnolls that can be killed by uninterrupted [lightning bullets] will drop significantly.

Besides, if you retreat to the high platform in the rear and put the [Lightning Bullet], will this kind of lightning that automatically search for (chaos) the enemy (float) really not hit your own infantry? The human infantry has much more metal on their bodies than the Gnolls.

Regardless of accidental injury, whether it is considering the experience value of killing monsters, or the combat thought that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers, this behavior will further reduce his suppressive power on the battlefield and the amount of experience gained.

After all, [Fire Bullet] is only a single skill, and the result of using [Fire Bullet] is also a decrease in suppression power, and the efficiency of gaining experience is also reduced.

At times like these, Marcus misses the massive crowd-killing spells.

For the time being, it seems that the situation has not deteriorated to a certain extent, but anyone with a little brain knows that the gnolls actually have a huge advantage because of their overwhelming numbers. One less human soldier dies, one less defense is broken or breached, and the opposite side is a duanzi, which can also redeem Marcus and them to death.

As the sound of "bang bang bang" continued to sound, the human soldiers gradually began to die, and the shield he raised also ate the flail thrown by the big man several times.

"Ahhh The only problem is that it is a little higher, and while using the height difference to avoid accidentally injuring allies and opening up the space with the first line, it also exposes the mage.

Ordinary mages have magic shields, but as a mage who doesn't want to be attacked with ice armor, Marcus directly asked several huge tower shields to be inserted on the high platform to protect him, allowing him to stretch out his sword through the gap to cast spells.

In fact, if he is a little more frustrated, he can completely use the shield to cast spells, anyway, the [Lightning Bullet] can automatically find the target, but this kind of big shield is too physically demanding to shake. If you use other spells, you also need to consider that the shield will affect your vision if you are not careful. As for the small round shield, when this kind of remote fire is used as a target, who dares to hold a small round shield on a high platform?

It's a pity that Marcus, who got on the stage, watched the [Lightning Bullet] that fell straight down and made the reserve team jump, so he had to give up this spell that was very compatible with the tower shield, and instead locked on to the target from the gap, and then released the [Fire Bomb].
