Diablo Destruction

"Rumble————!!"

The huge storm mixed with sand and dust kept hitting the city gate like a hundred-meter-high wave. The strong wind, which was as strong as a substance, made the city wall, which was four to five meters thick, seem to be shaking.

Standing on the city wall and looking out, you can only see a dark yellow world that is constantly rolling. The roaring wind and sand are trying to topple the city wall over and over again. No matter how good the sight is, the Amazon can only see one kilometer away. That’s all.

"This situation...is not good."

Two full days have passed since that deployment meeting. Two days are enough for the action-oriented adventurers to return to the city they are responsible for defending, formulate various tactics, build defensive buildings, and even come first. The last time we cooperated with the exercise, just when everyone was confidently looking forward to the monsters coming to their doorsteps to die, unexpectedly the weather suddenly turned bad.

This is the so-called plan that can never keep up with changes. However, it is indeed our negligence not to ask the forecaster to predict the weather in advance. We cannot blame God. I can only say that everyone still lacks some basic knowledge necessary for legion operations. That’s all.

I kept thinking about these things in my mind and imprinted this lesson deeply in my heart. I stood on the city wall and stared blankly at the dim world outside. The sun at noon was still hanging high in the sky, but The scene at this time was already as dark as the yellow sand filling the sky at the end of the world.

The reason why Lugaoyin City was chosen to be located at the junction of the gravel wilderness and the misty forest is precisely because it is located in the Gobi Desert and has relatively hard soil, so it is not prone to desert storms like other cities.

The five cities of the Western Kingdom spread from north to south like a complete big snake. The farther south they go, the deeper they go into the desert. Unfortunately, the Lost City serves as the tail of this snake, which has penetrated deep into the outskirts of the desert, almost Every three or two cities will be hit by a sandstorm, so that the people there are too lazy to clean up the sand blown into the city. Therefore, the Lost City is also called the City of Sand by many people. The name sounds beautiful, but As long as you stay there for ten and a half months, you will definitely not associate this city with beauty.

Lugaoyin City is just the opposite. It is located at the head of the snake. To the west is the misty forest with rich materials, and to the east is the Twin Seas with prosperous fisheries and shipping. It has a superior location that is worthy of the title of commercial kingdom and jewelry city. It is here all year round. It is rare to be hit by a sandstorm.

Therefore, this sudden sandstorm can definitely be called a masterpiece - for a monster.

"It's so unlucky that it happened at this time."

Looking into the depths of the dark yellow world outside the city wall, although my vision was blurry, the increasingly strong monster aura passing through the dark yellow was enough for me to judge that the sea of ​​monsters surrounding dozens of kilometers away were Taking advantage of this excellent climate environment, they are slowly approaching Lu Gaoyin, revealing their ferocious minions.

The only thing that can be regarded as good news is probably the news that came in the morning that the other four cities were not affected by sandstorms.

No matter what, the monsters in Lugaoyin City are weaker, and there is no monster to lead the mini-boss. In addition, the city wall is thick and there are many adventurers left behind. This sandstorm will pass in a short time.

While thinking about it in my mind, I nodded to the paladin Zaku who stood next to him as straight as cast iron. He was one of the five captains selected a few days ago. He is a level 71 paladin with a late-stage state of mind. Just like his profession, he is upright, brave but not lacking in wisdom. He is very popular among adventurers. It is well deserved that he was chosen as one of the leaders by many captains this time.

However, I have always been a little concerned about his name. I wanted to complain about it but couldn't find a way to break through.

"Then I'll go down and deploy."

Paladin Zaku performed a slight knightly salute, looked at the three of us with awe, and then retreated silently.

Of course, I can feel that at least 60% of this awe is directed at Sister Sharna. I don’t know what kind of collision this upright and traditional paladin had with Sister Sharna. Although I am very I curiously asked Sister Sharna once, but she only said one sentence: There are so many people who have been taught a lesson by me, so how can I remember these small characters?

Thinking of this, I can't help but pity this Zaku brother.

Looking back, I glanced at Sister Sharna and Seattle Ke.

"I think we should put the task of finding out behind the scenes aside for the next few days and take a look at the situation here. If we can hold on safely, it won't be too late to go there. We can also wait for Carlos to come back. Let’s go out together.”

"You have the final say, as long as I have a fight."

Seattle's IQ is not low, but he is the kind of guy who is too lazy to use his brain when other people are around him, so his shameless look now is very similar to my style back then.

"Is there nothing more interesting? Anyway, as long as you stay with me, brother."

Sister Sharna glanced at the outside of the city wall in boredom. It felt as if her sharp and cold gaze penetrated the layers of yellow sand and storm and fell on the monsters who were killing each other. Her clear blue pupils were full of tears. Queen-like arrogance and disdain - these guys are indeed not worthy of her action.

Then, she hugged me up from the side and held me in her arms as if I was a giant stuffed toy. She exhaled a breath of comfort and satisfaction. Maybe I am standing here, the only one she is participating in this time. Reasons for action.

"Woo..."

Being rubbed by Sister Sharna's smooth face, I sighed with satisfaction and helplessness.

At this time, even if you say that you two should think carefully about the Western Kingdom that is about to suffer a disaster, it will be of no use to the two of them. The fighting maniac of Seattle Lake and Sister Sharna will not even think about it. Human lives that had nothing to do with them were important. For these two people, even if all five cities were captured and the people inside were massacred, they wouldn't feel anything.

Suddenly I miss Carlos a little bit, and this guy is the only one who is kind-hearted at least.

Speaking of Carlos, this guy ran back to the camp yesterday to find his former subordinates in the Alliance of the Fallen. He will be back in as little as two days and as many as four or five days. Of course, the war situation in the camp is not going well. In a serious case, if there is any emergency at the camp, I may have to send Seattle Kaku there as well.

"Oh, it's started, it's started."

Suddenly, Seattlek's excited voice filled with the smell of blood came from the side, licking his lips.

Following his gaze, sure enough, a large number of melee adventurers poured out of the city gate at their feet. They had filled up the magic earth wall in the past few days, stood solemnly, and confronted the monsters on the opposite side of the yellow sand.

"Huhu——"

The first ones to take action were the druids. They masterfully controlled the hurricane and blew away all the storm dust in front of them. Standing on the city wall, I witnessed the spectacular scene of the struggle between man and nature.

It is indeed a battle at the level of the second world, but the technical content is different. Compared with the monster attack on the village in the first world camp that I experienced, that long-range melee brawl with no technical level was simply a sky and a place, a shoddy battle. A limited luxury edition copycat.

Under the control of the exquisite wind skills of dozens of druids, the huge sandstorm was torn apart. The dark yellow world that originally enveloped us was suddenly torn open with a large hole, and the vision suddenly became clear and wide.

Looking at the torn hole from a distance, we immediately saw the dark monster on the opposite side, which had already approached more than ten kilometers away and was rushing towards us, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky. Its ferocious and violent momentum soaring into the sky was even misleading. Thinking that the huge sandstorm was caused by them.

With a swish sound, rows of wizards, necromancers, Amazons and assassins stood on the city wall with sharp eyes. They were not at all frightened by the monsters all over the mountains and plains. Instead, their eyes looked towards the opposite side with a hint of excitement.

This kind of excitement was like a heroic battle involving thousands of horses. Even after decades of experience, they had never encountered it before. The slightest worry in their hearts had long been washed away by the excitement.

With the druid's continuous wind skills, the monsters on the opposite side became clearer and clearer, and soon they were within the maximum range.

"Long range attack!!"

Following the loud orders of the Zaku brothers, the whole world suddenly fluctuated violently. Huge magic waves surged out from every mage and gathered together. These squeezed together magic waves continued to compress in the air. , finally formed tangible and substantial colors, white representing lightning, blue with freezing ice, and deep red representing flames. Among the three colors, there is a trace of black air mixed in. That is the quantity. Less undead waves emitted by the Necromancer.

The entire city wall was filled with four colors of red, blue, white and black in an instant, as colorful as a colorful picture scroll accidentally splashed with dye, attracting the melee warriors under the city wall to turn around and watch.

It is estimated that no one has imagined that the magic waves of hundreds of mages condensed into one, would be so gorgeous and spectacular.

"Boom boom boom——!!"

At the same time as the colorful magic waves burst out, beams of red, white and blue light shot towards monsters ten kilometers away like laser raindrops. This spectacular sight reminded me of the future interstellar battles shown in animations. , the blinding scene of huge space battleships firing thousands of cannons.

These dense magic bombardments all landed at the forward position where the monsters were densely packed. Suddenly, explosive waves formed a deadly explosion wall, drowning the monsters in an instant.

After a while, the monsters were obviously thinner and rushed out of the explosion dust with injuries of varying severity.

After all, they were monsters from the second world. Even with such a powerful magic attack, at least two-thirds of them could survive.

Of course, this is also related to the strategy that has been formulated in advance and does not use high-level magic. For example, the fifth-level magic meteorite of the mage is too wasteful to use on ordinary monsters. The sixth-level ice ball has a shorter range and is more suitable for this kind of High-level magics for combat include Blizzard and Nine-Headed Sea Serpent. However, although these two skills are extremely powerful, including the mental consumption of magic, they are still not as powerful as mid-level magics such as fireballs, ice spikes, lightning, and chain lightning. Cost-effective, it can only be used as a powerful attack to clear monsters when the monsters are coming fiercely and the melee warriors are under too much pressure.

In addition to the gorgeous magic, of course we cannot ignore another type of long-range attack, that is, bows and arrows. Compared with the gorgeousness of magic, the arrows shot out like locusts are somewhat like assassins, and they quietly attack many monsters.

However, the power of arrows is greatly affected by distance, so in the first wave of attacks, only the Amazons who were skilled in playing with bows and arrows participated in the attack. The rest of the assassins, as well as the melee warriors standing under the city wall with bows and arrows in hand, also Waiting and watching, waiting for the appropriate distance.

The three of us standing at the corner of the city wall, quietly watching the battle, fell into silence at the same time after feeling the magic wave that shattered the world. Even Sister Sharna had a look of solemn contemplation on her face. .

It's so powerful. I didn't expect that the magic waves of hundreds of mages combined would have such a terrifying effect. This is because these mages are not skilled in cooperating. If they can truly merge into one, I don't know how strong this wave will be. To what extent.

We still underestimated the power of high-level adventurers joining together. All along, I thought that with my current strength of half a foot in the field, I should have no problem dealing with dozens or hundreds of state of mind adventurers at the same time. Now it seems It was a big mistake. If he had been directly facing the powerful pressure gathered by hundreds of mages, whether it was blood bear transformation or moon wolf transformation, he would have no choice but to retreat.

From this point of view, compared to these mood-level adventurers, my current strength is only quantitatively different, but it has not yet reached a qualitative level.

"nnd, I didn't expect that the magical pressure gathered by hundreds of mages would be several times stronger than that of a field-level team. I was shocked."

Seattle Ke on the side was obviously shocked by this unparalleled aura, and he muttered in a low voice.

"We're not strong enough."

Sister Sharna flicked her golden hair that was blown by the storm, and said lightly, her sea-blue pupils were full of burning pride and fighting spirit.

I don’t know which one is stronger or weaker, my blood bear energy cannon, or the gathered attack of these hundreds of mages?

Such thoughts came to my mind in vain, and then I shook my head with a wry smile. Looking at the explosion scene just now, of course my blood bear energy cannon is much stronger, but the problem is that the blood bear energy cannon was fired by myself after all. It can only be used a few times at most, but the opponent's attack can be used dozens or hundreds of times in a row, which is not comparable at all.

There is strength in numbers, and what Grandpa Mao said is indeed a wise saying.

The battle continued. Although these monsters were clones and had higher IQs, they still lacked a little strategy. Those at the forefront turned out to be those desert jumpers who jumped around and were extremely agile.

The Desert Jumper is very fast and has strong jumping ability. It can also attack under the sand where it hides. It is a troublesome monster for legal professions. However, in this situation, once their numbers are dense, they will It is a large-scale overwhelming attack by mages. Their speed and flexibility cannot be used at all, and they can only become cannon fodder.

If I were the commander of monsters, I would definitely use them as a trump card, because these guys’ jumping ability is enough to bypass the obstruction of melee adventurers and jump onto dozens of meters high city walls that are unreachable for other monsters. It causes riots everywhere and has a great effect.

With the second and third waves of attacks from mages and Amazons, and as the distance approached and other professions also participated in long-range attacks, the first wave of desert hoppers was quickly cleared with only a few hundred left, including more than a dozen. The elites and dozens of bosses are still standing strong, jumping around as if nothing is wrong.

However, these little guys soon discovered a strange scene. The hateful humans on the opposite side actually gave up attacking them and turned their attention to the female hunters behind them who were hated by the desert jumpers?

Although I don’t know what happened, it’s a good thing. Let’s rush forward in one go.

The simple-minded desert jumpers screamed with excitement, and their speed became faster and faster. The distance of several kilometers was not far for them, and they could reach it by jumping dozens of times.

Unfortunately, before these complacent guys could react, a large blood-red rain of curses shrouded their heads, immediately accompanied by various negative states, and the cunning humans on the opposite side also took action at the right time.

"Boom, boom, boom—" "Shuttle, shuttle, shuttle—"

The explosion of magic and the sound of arrows piercing the sky immediately filled up the remaining jumpers.

The necromancers who have been lurking have taken action. They are known as the boss terminators. Unless they encounter monsters that can resist the curse, their curse skills are the nemesis of all monsters.

The Desert Jumper, which was originally worrying, was solved so easily. This is of course a good thing, but it is not our turn to stop and celebrate. The second wave of monsters [Hunter] has already rushed up with whips.

These female hunters usually don't look at the desert hoppers. They always use whips to drive the desert hoppers to do their work, and even treat them as food.

This is probably why the Huntress ranks behind the Desert Jumper. These monsters are really easy to guess.

However, since they are elegant and flexible desert jumpers, it means that the overall strength of these female hunters is indeed stronger than those small grasshoppers, especially their defense. Just seeing the shiny leather armor on their bodies and the small shield in their hands, You can know that their defense is not low and their speed is flexible. Otherwise, how could they suppress the Desert Jumper?

There is no doubt that these female hunters are one of the most troublesome monsters for the defenders.
