Chapter 41: Assault and Assault
The distance between Hope Village and Ogre Hill is less than 50 kilometers in a straight line, and the reason why the villagers have to walk for two days and one night is mainly because their way of travel is too unreasonable, the route is full of twists and turns, and there is a lack of necessary transportation. However, the Ghost Woman Raiding Team traveled in a reasonable way and with the right means of transportation, and when they encountered a large area of mud on the road, they flew directly over, and the speed of travel was not the same as theirs.
Halfway through, Pastor Richard thought hard about what he should do next. At this rate, the arrival time should be between two and five o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone has not used up much physical strength, so they can immediately enter the battle. While it's true that Mike's spell slots will be used up quite a bit, as he said, ninety percent of mages who can't spell a warlock aren't just as good. It's dangerous to camp in the wilderness, and there's a danger of being attacked by a ghost woman at night, so it's not worth it just to restore a few spell slots.
"Let's eat some magic bread, small enough and many times, to keep it in a state where we can jump into battle quickly, and we may attack soon after we get there. "Pastor Richard made a decision.
So, the crowd began to run in small quantities and many times like pigs.
After spending more than five hours meticulously arranging ten flame traps and ten normal traps, Hagrid felt that the swarm of traps around the Sunken Tower was complete enough to effectively kill those fly-like adventurers. The crows haven't heard from them yet, most likely because the group of guys haven't set off yet, so it's best, if they can grind for ten days and eight days, Audrey may be able to initially master the new power, and then it will only take two or three kilometers to deal with the flies in the middle of the night two or three kilometers away.
As a result, just as Hagrid was happily sitting by the window drinking tea and looking into the distance, he noticed that a group of adventurers were approaching two or three kilometers away!
Why didn't the crows call the police?!! how could they be so fast?!!!
But now is not the time to pursue this.
Hagrid cursed loudly, gathering his men for a tentative assault. He also told Audrey to stay in the magic circle and not to go anywhere.
"Mom, you have to be careful. "Audrey was terrified, I don't want to be burned.
"Don't worry, those guys don't have to worry. Hagrid reassured and led his men to ambush him.
Hagrid's plan was to give his men stealth and let them ambush the enemy near the traps under the leadership of Annis. There are hidden tunnels dug and traps to assist, so it's easier to retreat even if you can't win. He watched from a distance and assessed the strength of the other party. If the strength is high, take Annis to escape, if the strength is average, take several sets of combat plans that are often practiced, and if the strength is very poor, a surprise attack can solve the best.
Invisibility is a Tier 2 arcane spell that can make a person invisible for a few minutes, and can be rendered ineffective by violent movements such as combat or outward energy such as offensive spells. The green ghost woman has some spell-like abilities, and stealth is one of them, and there is no spell bit restriction if you want to use it.
"We're rushing all the way here, aren't we, too reckless?" You can already see the target of this trip, the village has a lot of witch legends, and some ancient tower half-sunken in the swamp. Wood felt that he had to say something, and he was not mentally prepared to confront the evil witch.
"No, that's good, the enemy probably wouldn't have thought that we were coming so quickly, and it was probably unprepared. "Pastor Richard thinks it's a good tactical advantage. "Everyone checked their equipment and moved their muscles and bones to prepare for battle. Mike, add long-lasting buffs such as Insight Invisibility. ”
"I don't think we're riding pigs and going straight through the window. Mike felt that SWAT tactics were much better than walking through the door. It's just that the float disc can only be 1 meter above the ground, so it can't complete this heavy task.
Reverend Richard pondered for a moment and rejected Mike's suggestion. "No, that would have required multiple transports, and it would be easy to be broken by each one. But soon, he made a new suggestion: "However, you can ride a pig with Kenar and Pantia and provide remote support through the window." You're not good at close combat, so you're safe and powerful, and you don't need us to be distracted. ”
In fact, all the spells that Panthia mastered needed contact to take effect, and Feikong couldn't play them at all. But the priest felt that his advice was very good, and he had always feared that his daughter would be in danger of the enemy's powerful force. In this way, you can fight with all your might without worrying. "I brought a scroll that ran in the air, and blessed it with Pig Ben. ”
"It's fine. Pig Ben is very smart, able to fly and fight, enough to protect us. "Aerial bombing has always been Mike's favorite trick, but with his caster level, the flying spell only lasts eight minutes, and can only be used after encountering enemies. There is no problem with the 4th order divine technique of running in the air, and the scroll can last for more than an hour.
"Daddy, Brad, be careful. "Last night's conversation made Pandia realize that today's fight probably won't be particularly easy.
"Don't worry. "The priest has also blessed himself with several long-lasting buff spells, such as anti-evil circles.
The first battle happened quickly. After Mike, Kenael, and Pandia take to the skies, Mike, who has the ability to break through invisibility, soon spotted ogres and wolves scattered in the bushes ready to sneak attack. Immediately notify your teammates with gestures, and after a little weighing, you decide to chant a magic missile to deliver an aerial strike. Priests: They are very difficult to deal with when they are attacked by stealth monsters, and they should be reduced in number first. Enemies are scattered in ambush, and only one horse can be killed, whether it's a fireball or a magic missile.
Anise didn't think anything was wrong when she saw someone riding a pig into the air, she was still invisible with the ogre and the wolf, but the enemy immediately killed a wolf with a magic missile.
The other party has the ability to break the hidden, and the ambush has been discovered!
Annis had no choice but to curse loudly and rush out, changing the sneak attack to a strong attack. The ogre and the wolf also rushed out and fanned towards Brad and the others.
"Everyone sat in a circle, Brad took Baker Jr. and his friends to the left, Brother Fisher and Wood to the right, Kena to the right of the Tiger Gang, and I was in the center. "Pastor Richard directs the defense and puts a picture of the range.
Range development is a level 3 magic that can be centered on oneself and make invisible creatures manifest within a certain range, which is the main means of breaking the cloak. Although this spell is a range breaking spell, it is a team spell, but the effective range is small, and the radius of Priest Richard's use is only fifteen meters, and the duration is only ten minutes. There are advantages and disadvantages to the mage's invisibility ratio.
The monsters rushed so fast that Mike only had time to chant a cobweb spell and threw it to Annis to trap her. He has already recognized it, this is a demon woman, not easy to deal with, first solve the miscellaneous soldiers.
But it was these "miscellaneous soldiers" who caused casualties to the team just by taking a look.
Annise in the center is trapped by the spider web, and one wolf rushes in before she can turn, but the other enemies who are not in this direction or react quickly enough are engaged with the crusader as they wish.
The three ogres and three wolves rushed from the right side of the defense of Fisher Sr., Woodcutter and the Tiger, and almost immediately they were rushed out of the line, and the Reverend Richard hurriedly met them with his shield.
Brad took little Baker and his friends to the left side of the defense, and at first there was only an ogre and three wolves, and everyone could withstand it, but then a giant wolf the size of a calf came out and pounced on Little Baker's friend. My friend was already fighting with two wolves, and he was only a militiaman, his strength was relatively limited, and the range of development and concealment was not large, so the reaction time was not enough, although he blocked it with a shield, he was still thrown to the ground. Brad, who was on the left side of his friend, was fighting the ogre, and when he saw that his friend had an accident, he immediately took two steps to the right to rescue, but was stopped by the giant wolf who left his friend. At the same time, the tall and long-legged ogre only took one step to reach Little Baker's friend and slash it with an axe.
The third spell that Mike sings is Glitter Dust, and he is about to weaken the enemy, but he doesn't expect that in just one shot, Little Baker's friend will be in mortal danger, so he throws the spell over.
He did throw the glitter dust on the ogre and the wolf, but the ogre could still cut it down with an axe even if he couldn't see it for a while, and Little Baker's friend fell to the ground and was bitten by two wolves on the leg, so he couldn't dodge at all, and immediately died on the spot.
Kenael commanded the tiger to fight the ogre before she began to chant the sleep technique, and before she could do so, little Baker's friend had already died.
Pantia controls the red dragon illusion to fly next to Pig Run. The illusion can only be less than ten meters away from the card, and the pig is flying in front, fifteen or sixteen meters away from the battlefield, and even if the illusion passes, it can only be scary, and it is not much different from here. Pantia's only long-range means is a crossbow, and because of her poor marksmanship, Richard Priest strictly forbids her to shoot enemies who are engaged with her teammates, and she can only watch except to control illusions.
In the distance, Hagrid was pleased with the outcome of the raid, and with a whistle he sent his men back, and unleashed a Tier 1 plant entanglement technique to hinder the enemy's pursuit. She felt that she had a full understanding of the strength of this group of adventurers, and had achieved the purpose of wasting the enemy's hidden spells, so she should retreat first, so as not to suffer huge damage that could be completely avoided under the flying bombardment of the mage.
The four ogres and the giant wolf immediately retreated, and Annis, who was entangled in the cobwebs, also got rid of the entanglement and retreated together, only those wild wolves did not know whether it was a language barrier or was left behind to break off, and continued to fight hard in the entanglement.
The priest and the others were affected by the entanglement technique and were obstructed by the wild wolves, and they were powerless to pursue. Kena'er's sleep technique was lost on the ogre, and the other party continued to retreat as if everyone was fine. Mike didn't expect the enemy to retreat as soon as they fought, and the fourth spell chanted a magic missile, ready to clear the two wolves to reduce the number of enemies. By the time he had finished releasing the cobwebs, the ogres and the demon women had already jumped into the holes they had dug long ago, wasting a spell in vain.
