Chapter 324: Race Against Time

As an auxiliary person in the team of the Four Academies Competition, not to mention the strength, there are about two things that must be possessed in terms of ability: recovery ability, and understanding of magic engineering.

Of course, after all, it is really difficult for a strong person to be able to practice both magic and magic and be excellent in everything, and if you insist on pursuing the average ability of the two aspects, it will make the selected auxiliary leader lower in overall strength due to distraction.

Therefore, generally speaking, when selecting the auxiliary person in charge of the team before the competition of the four academies, basically each team of each academy will focus on selecting the team members who have outstanding ability in the recovery ability that is slightly important in the two, and the overall strength will not be too much inferior to the other players。

From this point of view, Elena is very qualified. It's just that since the start of this year's Four Academies Tournament, there has been Cheruth, an almost impeccable magician, and the work on magicians in the game has almost completely been without Elena, a relatively half-baked intern magician technician, and at this moment, Elena has finally fully made her own team contribution as an assistant to the magician.

"Elena, how are you?"

"Well, no problem, as long as the enchantment device on the floating cannon hasn't broken down, I can still fix a small glitch like the enchantment energy being consumed just because of the attack or the device's magic power is not working properly!"

Elena replied excitedly after taking a closer look at the status of the original five floats that had been replaced by Cheruth with five spare ones in good condition.

"That's good. I can hold on for five minutes here. You try to fix it as quickly as possible. The focus is to repair the most seriously damaged ones first, and those that are not seriously damaged can be put aside for the time being. ”

"yes, I see!"

With the strong support of her teammates, Cheruth was in good spirits and continued to manipulate the new five magic float cannons, and re-danced the magic guide float cannon version of "Dragoon Dance" around Xiao Ai and Yalan.

As a teammate, Cheruth of course knew very well that Elena's magic engineering strength was not enough to repair this broken enchantment device independently, and she had to concentrate on the magic control operation, so she couldn't spare time to focus on repairing it herself, so although it seemed that she used the exquisite operation of two sets of five magic guide floating cannons to drag Xiao Ai and them near the starting point of the attack, and her performance was quite amazing and sharp. In fact, the magic guide floating cannon she had in her hand could indeed destroy one less one.

Thanks to the game operation experience as a hardcore interstellar fan in her previous life, coupled with the strength of the magic rune against the sky, she was able to make the floating cannon entangle the other party in the open space environment for a long time like this, while always ensuring that the protective barrier would not be completely damaged and fall into a state of inusability.

But this is not a long-term solution, the other party's auxiliary young man who was knocked back to the teleportation point by the unreasonable magic cannon at the beginning has returned to the field, with him, Ai and the others also have the confidence to temporarily cancel the rock barrier that is not good at walking, and advance a distance against the magic cannon bombardment, and then put down the barrier again.

After all, although she took advantage of the difference in attack time of the floating cannon to create a non-stop artillery bombardment, in fact, the average attack launched into the Rock Barrier in the same second was only one or two rounds, and the opponent could advance a large distance after a few hard shells in a few seconds, and then set up a new Rock Barrier with the support of the support officer's reply. Move little by little to the vicinity of the fort in a step-by-step manner.

And once they were brought close to the fortress, it would be difficult for Chelus and Elena. The earth and stone fortress in the earth elemental arena is simply no more suitable place for earth magicians to play than here. Langton, the only earth mage on his side, is in the offensive group. There is no one in the defense group who can interfere with Xiao Ai's same magic in earth magic and earth element control, once Xiao Ai is allowed to get close to the fortress. She didn't have to do much, as long as she took the trouble to release the Earth Elemental Guardian summoning magic into the fortress from afar, and create a batch of dirt golems in the city that obeyed the orders of the attackers, it would be enough to make the two of them scramble for a while.

Therefore, from the beginning, Cheruth took the initiative to control the magic guide floating cannon to attack, and began to block Xiao Ai and the others from the starting point, just because she didn't want them to get too close to the fortress too quickly. However, it seems that although the transposition time difference operation of the magic guide floating cannon did catch Xiao Ai and the others a little unprepared at first, after a long time, when they get used to this attack mode, using the wind mage Selena, the only thing that Cheruth can't limit with the floating cannon, or using the planned instantaneous fire attack to launch a counterattack, it is only a matter of time before the magic guide floating cannon cannon bombardment array is broken through.

...... At that time, we will only have to rely on the combat power of our wind magicians themselves to delay time, but we are not very good at this time to make any limelight in wind magic battles...... Captain, you need to hurry......

"Hey~!"

It sounded a little soft and unreliable shouts, but the accompanying attack effect was indeed extremely satisfying, I saw that at some point, I had sneaked to the right wall of the earth and stone fortress defended by Digakar Academy, and several pale red magic energy balls under a floating cannon on the right wall of the Digakar Academy exploded instantly, and the light of the enchantment flickered and dimmed for a few moments before disappearing completely, and then the floating cannon that lost the protective enchantment was teleported to the repair room inside the fortress by the teleportation magic set in advance, and it was no longer possible to continue shooting at the attackers outside the fortress。

"Oh~Finally succeeded~!"

"Great! The three floating cannons have been destroyed, Sister Shanoff, let's hurry up!"

Seeing the somewhat bare walls of the fortress on the right, the little wolf and Shanoff, who had been attacking the floating cannon here since the start of the game, couldn't help cheering, and then the little wolf suppressed the joy on his face and said with a little guilt.

"We didn't listen to Cheruth's advice. I'm afraid the delay here has been longer than Chelus had anticipated before the game. Digakar's attack team is probably even more powerful than us in terms of attack power. As soon as Cheruth's side misses first because we didn't delay time as planned......"

"Hmm. At that time, we won't have the face to meet her~"

Charnof, who had always been a little slow to react, rarely answered in time, and the two of them looked at each other, and then they cast an attack spell on the empty fortress wall together.

Before the start of the game, when they came to their respective venues to prepare for the start of the game after the division of offense and defense was completed, the captain Langton originally planned to form a formation of four people with him and Robert as the main defense, the little wolf from the side, and Shanoff as the main attack battery. But when it was time to start the game, Robert came up with an idea that seemed even better.

"If you break through in a frontal formation, although it looks like we are attacking and defending, because of the combat characteristics of Shanov's fixed-point battery, the attack and defense are actually reversed. We have to do our best to prevent the opponent's earth mage from raiding and plotting against the strongest attack on our side, and because the opponent is an earth type that is good at defense, even if Xia Nov destroys the four floating cannons on the front, it may be difficult to repel the earth mage, this is not a way! We might as well divide into two ways, the captain and I will make a feint attack from the left and then contain the earth magician, and then Shanoff and the little wolf will attack from the right, and then as long as we destroy the three floating cannons on the right, we can successfully destroy the earth wall of the fortress and enter the interior. There is only one magic guide left on the other side, and it will definitely not be able to stop Xia Nove and the little wolf. ”

In fact, in theory, this strategy does seem to be more labor-saving and more skillful than Cheruth's head-on breakout. After all, if you break through head-on, you have to resist the shooting of the magic guide floating cannon and guard against the attack of the opponent's earth magician, Langton and Robert, as the main force of defense, want to not only protect themselves but also protect their teammates under the pressure of this attack, the difficulty can be imagined.

And speaking of which, the four of them are all small geniuses among ordinary people, and seeing that the first half of the race has almost become a stage for Cheruth to perform alone, it would be a lie to say that they don't have any ideas in their hearts. Although they are not jealous of Cheruth as a teammate, it is precisely because of Cheruth's excellence that the desire in their hearts as teammates to prove that they can achieve victory without relying on Cheruth has become stronger and stronger.

Therefore, after Robert put forward such an idea of splitting the troops into two ways, the four of them thought that it was simple and feasible, so they decided to adopt this tactic on the other hand, rather than choosing to concentrate on the frontal breakthrough as Chelsea arranged before the game.

At the beginning of the game, the plan was still very smooth, Langton and Robert's fast attack on the left side successfully completed the target and attracted the attention of the earth mages in the fortress, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the real decisive attack combination of Little Wolf and Shanoff quickly came to the right flank, and then began to attack the three floating cannons around the fortress.

Soon, however, Wolf and Charnoff were aware of a very important flaw in their plans...... With the combination of the two of them, it doesn't seem as easy to deal with the three floating cannons as you think.

Although the magician of Digakar Academy is not as powerful as Cheruth, and even took a long time to unlock the firing direction of the floating cannon on the right side, but there is still no way to release the lock, but this alone is enough for two people to feel uncomfortable.

After all, the range of the floating cannon was originally a little farther than the spell casting distance of Shanov and the little wolf, and now the firing direction is no longer fixed, and if the two of them want to carry out a magic attack on the floating cannon, they must step into the wide area of the floating cannon first...... At that time, I am afraid that before the two of them finish casting the spell, the artillery bombardment on the opposite side will arrive first, and Langton and Robert, who are very defensive, are both fighting with the other party's earth magician on the other side of the fortress at this time......

Little Wolf and Charof finally understood why Cheruth would let them attack the fortress in such a direct and untechnical way as a head-on breakthrough, obviously as the person in charge of the magician, Cheruth was well aware of the non-negligible range advantage of the floating cannon in the face of a mage of their level, and it was difficult for a firepower point like Shanoff and Little Wolf to exert their 100% offensive strength without the cover of a companion with outstanding defensive power like Langton.

However, it is a little late to wake up now, and if you want to change your strategy temporarily, it will inevitably be a waste of time for this attack layout. The offensive and defensive game is a speed, and the two don't want to lose the game because of the loss of time due to the defeat of their own attack, so in desperation, the two of them have to choose a more dangerous way to carry out the strategy of the right fortress.

Shanoff first used his best controllable burst magic ball to get as close as possible to the floating cannon outside the shooting range of the floating cannon, and then after reaching the limit of the spell casting operation, the little wolf quickly rushed into the range of the floating cannon with the levitation technique and the wind technique, and after attracting three floating cannons to attack him, taking advantage of the attack interval of the floating cannon, Shanov quickly ran in to shorten the distance between the floating cannons and the floating cannon, and at the same time controlled the burst magic ball to blast a few rounds around the floating cannon at close range, and then left the firing range before the magician in charge inside the fortress controlled the floating cannon to turn around her head and attack her。

Although Shanoff's motor nerves are not good, it is not really super natural to wrestle on the ground, she still does this kind of rapid advance and retreat in a straight direction, and at the same time, thanks to the fact that the magician in charge of the Digakar Academy does not have the strength of Cheruth who can use the magic rune to drive the floating cannon like an arm, even if he wants to turn the floating cannon that is attracted by the little wolf to shoot automatically, it takes enough time for Shanoff to take the opportunity to escape.

The tactics were very successful, although the solidity of the barrier on the cannon body was not something that could be shattered by one or two of the bursting magic balls that were more or less suppressed by the earth elemental environment, but fortunately, it didn't take much time for the two of them to repeat the process, although it took a little longer than expected, and finally succeeded in destroying the protective barrier of the three floating cannons on the right side in about fifteen minutes.

Judging from the fact that the earth mage of the Digakar Academy in the fortress has not appeared on the right side, Langton and Robert should have completed the task of entanglement and procrastination quite well, which means that as long as they break the earthen wall of the fortress in front of them now, then the remaining obstacle should only be the magician of the Digakar Academy who is not good at fighting.

Little Wolf and Xanof sped up their spell casting speed as they thought about it, and a few seconds later, several bursting orbs and three or four sharp air guns appeared beside the two of them, and they followed their wishes and rushed towards the earthen wall of the fortress of Digakar Academy.

They're going to win!(To be continued.) )
