Chapter 172: A Battle of Long-Range Firepower
Most of the people who came to practice this time had no actual combat experience, and Ding Kui's shout still played a certain role, and several magicians wanted to attack the demon rat that climbed over the low wall. [Ran^Text^Library] []
The mighty swarm of rats crossed the low wall, split in half, bypassed the fire, and headed straight for the high platform, with no intention of stopping.
Only the high-level demon rats stopped, their stone bullet skills were mainly to intercept magic, and the extra ones were also attacking the high platform, not caring about the melee professionals below.
Ding Kui was the first to rush forward and wave the "Moon Fall" to help intercept the stone projectiles flying up the platform.
He is selective, and only blocks the stone bullet technique sprayed by the third-level demon rat, and the fourth-level demon rat sprays out without touching it at all.
The four blade knights on the stage stepped forward to intercept, and the remaining five trainee knights did not move, they didn't want to help, but they were indeed not strong enough.
This kid can really resist the magic of third-level demonic beasts, no wonder he can defeat the Blade Knight.
Qin Zhao also turned his head to take a look in his busy schedule, a little surprised by Ding Kui's strength.
Seeing that the demon rat group was only ten meters away, Feng Liang shouted: "Raise your sword, split!"
Two crimson sword rays flew out against the ground, and the snow on the ground drew two straight lines, and the demon rats facing him were instantly split in half, and the sword rays continued to slash over four or five ordinary demon rats one after another.
The Demon Rat at the front has come into contact with the cutting-edge melee class.
There are often seven or eight demon rats that pounce on people, and the parts below the chest of the attacker are the targets of the demon rats.
Wang Boding was at the forefront of the southern defense line, and with a wave of the shield in his left hand, four or five demon rats were fanned away, and the short spear in his right hand drew a curve from the bottom to the top, and three demon rats were picked into the air.
"Huh" A long axe was cut down from Wang Bo's side, and the two demon rats that pounced on the side were cut in half in the air, and the warrior behind him was not slow at all.
The only shield-breaking knight in Qin Zhao's team stood side by side with Wang Bo, the long sword that looked like a saw in his hand had not been replaced, emitting a red light dancing in the air, and the demon rat statue took the initiative to collide with it and decompose in the air.
The first batch of demon rats that pounced on them did not escape the fate of being killed in seconds, but the second and third groups of demon rats kept pounced on the humans they could see.
Since the frontal impact was blocked, some demon rats began to circle the east and west sides of the high platform, and some high-level demon rats also turned in those two directions.
"The mages and archers of the east and west give priority to attacking the high-level demon rats. Ding Kui found that something was wrong, and followed a third-level demon rat to the east.
Because the guards on both sides are the apprentice magicians, and they don't know how to use the elemental magic shield yet, once they are attacked by the stone bullets of the high-level demon rats, they will definitely not be able to stop them.
There are five extra trainee knights on the stage, at most they can block a few high-level demon rats' stone bullet techniques, and they can't protect the magician.
Ding Kui ran to the east and said to the trainee knights on the stage, "You go down and change a few blade knights to come up." ”
Fortunately, the Blade Knight on both sides of the East and West was relatively idle, and successfully withdrew to the high platform and took on the heavy responsibility of protecting the mage.
"Bang", when he came to the east, Ding Kui just caught up, and flew a stone bullet, and the aperture on his sword was full.
Ding Kui didn't rush to slash out the white sword, because there were too many people around, he didn't want to use this move too early, and he also wanted to see what was so special about the "Moon Death" hanging all over the aperture.
With a "bang", Ding Kui split another stone bullet, this time he didn't use his fighting energy, the aperture on the sword was full, and it was wasted if he used it. As a result, it didn't take much effort for him to block the magic of the third-level demonic beast, but the aperture on the sword was missing by two.
"Bang", "Bang" He blocked two stone bullets one after another, and the aperture was filled.
That's right, just by intercepting magic, I can save one-third of my fighting energy, and simply use my strength to block it once in the middle, which is equivalent to saving half of the consumption of fighting energy, which can extend the duration of the battle.
Ding Kui is in the dark, and he can hold on for a longer time without splitting the sword, which is most suitable for the current battle situation.
There is still a steady stream of pan-mountain demon rats crawling out of the deep pits at both ends of the valley, and high-level demon rats appear from time to time.
The battle under the high platform became more and more intense, the Pangolin Demon Rats would actually drag the remains of their companions away, and the hand-to-hand combat intensity of the first-line melee classes remained the same, they faced a saturated number of Demon Rats, and where there were gaps, there were Demon Rats.
As more and more high-level demon rats join the battle, the mages on the high platform begin to be suppressed, and the archers have joined the battle, and the consumption of armor-piercing arrows increases.
Fu Ji watched in the middle of the high platform, a little anxious, but he was still able to hold back, the attack of the demon rat was too organized, and the possibility of the "Piercing Mountain Rock Eating Demon Mouse" was quite good.
"Concentrate your firepower and take out one first. Lin Zicheng, you pick an elite demon rat to shoot next, which one of your armor-piercing arrows shoots, we will attack it together. Ding Kui turned back to the high platform to the north.
Qianyou was worried that the other magicians would not listen to Ding Kui, so he also shouted: "Listen to him, concentrate on attacking one!"
"Whoosh" Lin Zicheng's armor-piercing arrow shot at a third-level demon rat near the fire.
"Whew", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", fireballs, wind blades, and ice arrows shot at the magic rat together.
The magic rat that won the jackpot just spewed out a stone projectile and knocked Lin Zicheng's armor-piercing arrow away, and five various magic spells killed it in front of it.
The demon rat was shot away on the spot, and it died in the air.
The magicians on the high platform in the south observed this scene with their spiritual power, and immediately learned to attack an elite demon rat, and another unlucky third-level demon rat fell to the ground.
Not to be outdone, the east and west sides drew a scoop according to the gourd, and killed two elite demon rats at the same time, but these two demon rats were nailed to the ground by four armor-piercing arrows.
Next, high-level demon rats continued to be killed, and the pressure on the ranged troops on the high platform plummeted, and the number of high-level demon rats replenished could not keep up with the number of deaths.
However, it didn't take long for the humans to be happy, and the high-level demon rats under the high platform ran together, and Ding Kui's tactics were cracked.
When a rat is set on fire, the other rats will help shoot stone projectiles to intercept all magic and arrows that attack the rat.
For a while, no high-level demon rats were killed, and when the new high-level demon rats were replenished, the long-range troops on the high platform struggled again.
"Damn, the ability to adapt is so fast, is this a demonized pangolin?" Ding Kui scolded.
"Well, the magic rat at night is not the same as the one during the day. The low-level ones are not afraid of death and blindly rush forward, while the high-level ones will suppress our long-range firepower and will change formation to respond to our attacks. "Qianyou is the second time he has come into contact with the demon rat, and his perception is very direct.
"Hah!" Feng Liang shouted, slashing out a sword horizontally, sweeping a clearing in front of him.
Qianyou on the stage had an idea, and shouted to the audience: "Fengliang, you pay attention to the linkage, do a big one." Then he turned to the stage and said, "Protect me, magician, pay attention to the attack of the sword below, which one they hit, you fight that one." ”
After speaking, Qianyou took a half step back and began to prepare for the whirlwind technique. Ding Kui came to Qianyou's side, no matter how many levels of demon rats spewed out of the stone projectile technique, Ding Kui swung his sword to block it.
The whirlwind can be activated at any point within 50 meters, and the farther away from the mage, the shorter the attack range.
The high-level demon rats were less than fifty meters away from the length of the high platform, and a whirlwind technique suddenly blew around them, and three or four high-level demon rats were rolled up before they could react, and among them was a leader demon rat.
"Huh", "Huh" two sword rays slashed directly at the landing point of the leader demon mouse, and the other two fireballs, a wind blade, and an ice arrow also locked the leader demon mouse.
The demon rat next to him, which was not rolled up, hurriedly spewed out stone bullets to intercept the sword rays together, and it took all the stone bullets to offset the two sword rays.
The rest of the magic succeeded in concentrating the fourth-level demon rat.
Due to the absence of the attack of the wand-wielding magician Qianyou, the fourth-level demon rat was seriously injured and fell to the ground, not dying at the first time, but also losing its combat effectiveness.
Qin Zhao in the south was anxious, he was promoted to staff magician two years earlier than Qianyou, and his strength was stronger, Qianyou could kill a fourth-level demon mouse, and he would also kill one for the sake of face.
"Protect me, you aim for the fourth-level one in the middle, and my magic will set fire as soon as it is activated. Qin Zhao shouted, and began to prepare second-level magic on the spot.
It only took fifteen seconds for a wall of fire to swipe out in the place where the high-level demon rats were concentrated.
The Wall of Fire, a second-level fire magic, locks on to the target area and appears a wall of fire five meters long and one meter wide, lasting for thirty seconds.
The high-level demon rats gathered together immediately fled in all directions, running out of the range of the wall of fire, and they didn't have time to spray stone projectiles to intercept the magic of the fourth-level demon rats that gathered fire.
It can't be said that Qin Zhao is stronger than Qianyou's strength of two swords, the demonized mountain demon rat is naturally afraid of fire, and the damage of fire magic to demon rats is higher than that of qi magic.
Whirlwind is stronger than control, and Wall of Fire is stronger than targeted area damage, with different strengths.
There are no fourth-level combat power leaders on the east and west sides, and the pressure is relatively small, but the elite archers are not willing to be supporting roles like this.
One of the elite archers in the lead said to the apprentice magician, "You can gather any fourth-level demon rat on fire, and we will take care of the rest." "Then draw three arrows in a quiver.
"Demon Breaking Arrow!" exclaimed Li Fei from the east, and then she pointed to a leader demon rat in the audience and said, "Let's set fire to that one." ”
Following Li Fei's ice arrows, the magic of the other four apprentice magicians shot at the designated demon rat.
"Three arrows in one shot!" shouted four elite archers at the same time.
The twelve demon-breaking arrows went straight to the fourth-level demon rat that was set on fire by magic, and the two third-level demon rats beside it.
The elite archers of the west did not hesitate to spend precious demon-breaking arrows, and also killed three high-level demon rats.
Don't look at the elite archers are more fierce than the magicians, but such attacks will not come a few times, each of them only has twelve demon-breaking arrows on them, and they will not be able to continue after three more rounds of attacks.
Ordinary archers simply can't afford to buy Demon Breaker Arrows, these are issued by the Mage Guild.
This round of ranged troops is considered an ultimate, which boosts morale at once, and brings back the original disadvantage, and can take out one or two of the original ones before the new high-level demon rats are replenished.
