Chapter 624: Above the Nine Rings
Gavin's thinking diverged and he started to study spells on the battlefield, but it did not affect the power of this nine-ring spell in the slightest.
The thundercloud storm that loomed over the battlefield was much bigger than expected.
Normally, the enveloping diameter of the revenge storm is 250 meters, and now let alone 500 meters, even if it is a kilometer, some people believe it.
The reason for this situation is not that Gavin's ability is extraordinary, and the revenge storm he casts is extraordinary, well, it really has a certain relationship, because the power in the way of war is not directly cast, but strengthened by his Ao Ling Mage Tower, and the power is indeed one or six times stronger than normal, but it can't reach the current level.
Now the storm of revenge that is shrouding the battlefield is not one, but two, and the other is the first elect from the goddess of strategy, Ms. Catherine, her core profession is also the exclusive sacrifice of the Lady of Strategy, and she has the ability to cast priest spells.
When two identical Nine Ring spells appeared in the air at the same time, they actually gave birth to a wonderful chemical reaction, and they were connected to become a spell that surpassed the Nine Rings, not only covering a larger range, but also increasing the power they could control.
Not to mention the others, the six lightning bolts that could only be summoned have directly increased to ten, not a total of ten, but Gavin and Catherine can each control ten paths.
These lightning bolts have extraordinary lethality to those blood marauders and blood rage, and they can't dodge at all, and whoever lets them now have the physique to absorb thunder and lightning will absorb thunder and lightning into their bodies if they have nothing to do, let alone in the case of someone consciously manipulating it.
It's not just Vengeance Storm that will be affected by the bonus, those Thunder Summoning and Thunderstorm performed by the druids and priests will be affected by the Vengeance Storm bonus, after all, they are all using the same power now.
Those blood marauders are naturally the highest priority targets,
Less than two-thirds of the blood marauders can resist the damage of the three summoning thunderstorms (3*5D10=150) lightning strikes, less than one-third of the four realms, and those who can charge even after eating five are the only two marauders Divine Choice, which is the result of their frantic use of the blood power of the surrounding soldiers, including those blood marauders and blood berserkers, to strengthen themselves.
They can become the temporary divine choice of the Marauder Callagos, not only because of their great strength, but also because they have a temperament that is very compatible with the Marauder, even if the degree of compatibility is not high, when they accept the Marauder's power, they will be highly influenced by his character, becoming selfish, tyrannical, plundering and destructive.
Therefore, it is a very serious and prudent matter to accept to be a godly chosen person.
Moreover, these two Marauder Chosen obviously have the ability to dominate other Blood Marauders and Blood Berserkers, and when they find that there is a lightning that targets the Marauder Chosen One, the surrounding Blood Marauders will stand up, jump up, and directly use their bodies to catch the thunder.
In this case, their weakness in absorbing lightning turned into an advantage, and the lightning was naturally attracted to those targets that were closer to it, and ran away directly around the corner.
Those Blood Marauders wanted to do the same and let the Blood Rage strike for them, but the success rate was not high, because the speed of the lightning was so fast that it had already smashed on the Blood Marauders' heads before the Blood Rage could react.
The half-minute-long storm in the second half of the storm of revenge directly brought the war to a temporary standstill, and both the attacking army of marauders and the nimble Red Falcon Knights wisely stayed where they were, no longer moving at will.
The physical sight obscured by the storm made it useless to see even dark vision, and it was impossible to see each other's appearance clearly when they were properly facing each other.
Acting rashly, no one knows whether they will bump into an enemy or a comrade-in-arms in the next second, once they plunge into the enemy's pile, they will be beaten to death in minutes.
In this case, not only actions, but also sounds, are emitted as little as possible to prevent them from being targeted for long-range attacks.
And this half minute won the conqueror's army valuable time to lay out.
The main body of the army of the conquerors on the Bridge of Men and Gods is not covered by the storm of revenge, and they are relatively cumbersome, and it will take time to redeploy the formation.
The Pioneer Vanguard is desperately pulling out to vacate the West Bridge, while the Avowed Vanguard is swapping guards with the armed settlers of the Conqueror's army.
The Avuriant vanguard marched to the West Bridge, where the defense was handed over to a hundred Chariots and the armed settlers attached to them.
Although the possibility of either the Purple Dragon Legion of the Cormir Kingdom attacking them or an army of monsters emerging from behind is very low, as a believer in the Strategy Lady, she will never pin her hopes on others or chances, and making a careful response plan is the most correct choice.
This is not only the case at the east bridge, but when the Avuriant Vanguard Army rushed out from the West Bridge, a hundred Lou Chariots also drove out behind, forming a new vehicle wall defense line at the previous position of the Pioneer Pioneer Army, and once there was an accident in the battle ahead, they could retract the turtle back to the bridge of human gods.
For the army of conquerors, the Bridge of the Gods was their castle fortress, and Gavin designed it with this in mind.
The remaining 100 Lou Chariots were not idle, but staggered in two rows on the Renshen Bridge to prevent further enemies from popping up on the side of the river.
After the Pioneer Vanguard Army and the Limb Breaker Vanguard Army were assembled in the west, they did not rush into the battlefield, but formed a huge encirclement in the mode of moving the vehicle formation, like iron pincers, towards the monster army that had been severely shrunk.
Their operational purpose is very clear, one is to provide long-range fire support for the main force on the battlefield, these side boxes are also installed with vehicle-mounted heavy ballistas, just because of the formation, they can only shoot outward through the reserved shooting holes, when the side box cars enter the mobile state, they can fire freely.
The second is to prepare for the further annihilation of the enemy's main forces and new tactics, when the enemy is completely defeated, they will become two walls, preventing them from escaping from their own lines.
If you look down from the sky, with the west entrance of the Bridge of Humans and Gods as the center, a huge pocket array is taking shape.
How powerful this pocket array can be depends on the twin kings in the center of the pocket to see if they can defeat the Chosen of the Marauders and the Blood Marauder Corps led by him.
Spells are spells, and they gather natural phenomena quickly and dissipate quickly, even if they are nine-ring spells.
One second it was still stormy, and the next second it was stopped because the magic power was exhausted, and although the sun was not shining, at least the vision was no longer affected in any way.
And then the next second the fiercest battle broke out.
The previously mentioned no-touch operation is limited to people with normal thinking.
Neither Carlagos the Marauder nor his followers were in this category, and the two Marauder Chosen Ones took advantage of the storm with blood to cover their tracks, rushing forward with their memories in an attempt to launch a surprise attack.
There are pros and cons to this crazy approach.
On their advantage, they narrowed the distance between them and Gavin, especially the two Marauder Choices, who were only a few dozen steps away from Gavin and Catherine, respectively.
What touched Gavin was not the Earth Spirit Chosen who came to him at the beginning, but the Gnoll God Choice.
The Earth Spirit chose to touch Catherine's side, and the two were perfectly misaligned.
The downside was that there was a serious disconnect between the marauder armies, and the number of blood marauders chosen by the Gongwei in the Earth Spirit had shrunk significantly, and there were originally at least two hundred blood marauders and six or seven hundred blood ragers around them.
At most, there were only a hundred blood marauders around them, and the rest were either left in place, scattered along the way, or had gone in the wrong direction, running to the sides or away from Gavin and Catherine.
But neither the Jackal Marauder Chosen nor the Blood Marauders cared about it, and they didn't even wait for the troops behind them to follow, and launched a direct attack on Gavin and them - even the slightest hesitation was a blasphemy against Calagoth the Marauder.
Because his concept of war is to move forward, hesitate and retreat, which is the behavior of the weak, and will become the object of plunder.
"Steel Whirlwind!" Whether it was the Jackal Marauder Chosen or the Blood Marauder, before officially launching the final attack, Qi Shushu made the same move, and the blood cloak behind him flicked forward.
Some of them split directly from above, reuniting, and in the blink of an eye, thick blood phantasm arms were produced, each holding a blood phantom scimitar on top of it.
These blood phantom arms wielding scimitars were grouped in groups of five, bent like fidget spinners, and the scimitar blades were pointed outward, forming a circle like a wheel.
This shape is the emblem of Calagos the Marauder.
It spun forward like a single unit, spinning in the form of a wheel, with a high-pitched whine, and no one would treat it as a non-lethal phantom, even without the physical properties of the previous cloak of blood.
This is another of the Marauder's exclusive sacrificial abilities, the Iron Whirlwind, which is a five-ring spell.
These whirlwinds of steel floated right in front of the user, and began to move forward in unison with the user's forward charge, whirling and attacking.
Due to the different composition of the soldiers, Gavin and Catherine showed different ways of dealing with them.
"Assemble your shield." Under the command of several goblin giant commanders, the goblin giants scattered around the lizard queen quickly gathered on both sides of the lizard queen, and ten people formed ten battle squads in a team.
The large battle shields in the hands of these goblin giants overlapped each other, forming a huge wall shield that tightly shielded them.
Dozens of whirlwinds of steel and the blood marauders rushed up, slamming into their shields.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
All of a sudden, all that echoed in my ears was the sound of steel crashing, accompanied by the harsh sound of metal grinding.
When the steel whirlwind was chopping, there were obviously traces of dragging, and if it was cut on the flesh and blood, it would not be as simple as a wound, but a large hole directly cut out.
The main thing is that this thing's attack is so unique that it moves in circles to attack.
It's not very fast, it basically takes three seconds to make a turn, but the problem is that it is made up of five blood phantom arms holding scimitars, and one turn is equivalent to five cuts.
Three seconds and five knives, this is already a very terrifying attack frequency, a legendary warrior is only six seconds and five knives, don't think it's very slow, the knife here refers to the chopping action from top to bottom, not the kind of small chopping, although that kind of attack has attack speed, but it is difficult to have enough strength to bless and form a sufficient threat.
If this kind of attack is placed in a dense pile of monsters or crowds with no armor or only light armor, the steel whirlwind is a killing whirlwind, and blood will spray wherever it rolls, and there are broken limbs and corpses everywhere, and it is impossible for the flesh and blood to support the crazy cutting of this thing.
But it is obviously not easy to use a heavy armor warrior like the Great Goblin Giant, they not only have a thick and large shield, but also a tailor-made thick and heavy armor, and the defense is amazingly strong, even if they break through the shield protection, they can't break through their heavy armor protection.
Their only role is to provide cover for their makers, so that they can approach the shield wall of the goblin giants and attack them.
But even for those blood marauders, these goblin giants assembled into a war group are also a difficult bone to gnaw, they are proficient in coordinated operations, after forming a shield wall, they are not stupidly standing in place, but constantly moving, those blood marauders face every time they defend and attack, it is not necessarily the same goblin giant, even if it causes him a certain amount of damage, the next time they face is still an intact one, and those injured goblin giants will always be guarded in the center.
This kind of coordinated combat not only exists in these warbands, but also cooperates with each other, those blood marauders attack and attack, and they will suddenly find that they have been sandwiched in the middle by two or three goblin giant warbands, and there are big goblin giants and large weapons that stabbed in all directions, the kind that can't dodge or break free, and the large heavy shield squeezes them.
With a body size of more than three meters, these blood marauders are absolutely amazing and crushing against ordinary people, but they are an out-and-out disadvantage to the big goblin giants with an average height of three and a half meters.
There is no superiority in numbers, no superiority in equipment, and no superiority in tactics.
It's no wonder that the blood marauders aren't pressed and beaten.
Catherine's response was simple and direct, countless disarming spells were thrown at those steel whirlwinds, most of which had just taken shape, and before they could fly a few meters, they dissipated on the spot.
A small number of successful confrontations were successful, but before they could fly in front of the Red Falcon Knights, the second round of disarming magic smashed down again, and it basically disintegrated.
Divine Curses are also spells, and they are also restrained by disarming magic.
This is a typical small for big, and the three-ring magic is exchanged for a five-ring spell, which is a very cost-effective deal.
These Blood Marauders are high-level cannon fodder made on the horizon after all, and compared to the exclusive sacrifices of real Marauders, they not only lack a lot of real professional ability, but also lack experience in using spells.
Many spells are used at the right time, and only in special circumstances and special times can the power of this spell be brought into full play.
Instead of putting all the spells out so openly and using them as auxiliary offensive weapons.
The rest of the battle was the same as before, with the knight's moves combined with a large number of lightning attacks to turn these blood marauders around.
The situation on their side is that the speed cannot keep up, the ability is restrained, the tactics are restrained, and naturally they are also suppressed and can't raise their heads.
Now it is soldier against soldier, general against general, and the king wants to see the king.
It was also a whirlwind of steel, unleashed by those two Marauder Divine Choices, and its power was naturally not the same as that of ordinary blood marauders.
It was made up of oversized arms holding oversized scimitars, with a diameter of more than three meters, and when it rotated, it was quite terrifying, and it was useless to disarm the magic, because it contained the power of plunder.
In front of this super-large steel whirlwind, even the lizard queen was cut down a little unable to raise her head, so she could only shrink her neck and let it chop at her own fat pile, controlling the fat surging from time to time, squeezing the injured or squeezing or covering them.
Since the failure of the naval army that raided the swamps of the far sea, returned to the Bridge of Men and Gods, and entered the process of ascending to the god of the goddess of strategy, even if Gavin let go of his direct control over her, she is as honest as she wants, and she is as well-behaved as she is.
Just kidding, this is a true god, even if he has just been promoted to an existence with weak divine power, it is not something he can provoke.
The dragon only dares to be called the top predator of the material plane, but there is no one called the multiverse, even the primeval dragon, in front of those demigods, has to obediently lower her noble head, not to mention that she is a half-hanger, and she has been controlled by people, and she has no capital to toss again.
Especially after witnessing the terrifying combat power that erupted from the conqueror's army in the future, she knew that she was not wronged at all in losing this time, and the strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all.
If she had cooperated with the ghosts of the Dark Citadel and the Swamp of the Far Sea, she might have had a long chance of being with the army of conquerors, not to mention either side alone, either side would have been completely abused.
Their failure is not simply a matter of strength, but also a failure of tactics, strategy, and planning.
The other party walked in front step by step, and the moves were calculating them, even if the marauder Callagos intervened to launch a divine war, there was no chance of turning the tables, but she knew how strong the young man standing above her head was, a temporary divine choice, I was afraid that it would be difficult to pose a threat to him.
