Half-elf Ranger

There were thick dark clouds floating under the gray sky, and a large group of ferocious vultures flew from the uneven cloud layer, hovering high in the sky, making bursts of hoarse chirps, which was creepy.

On the city wall of Waterfall Town, sharp arrows like a torrential rain poured wildly on the densely charged enemy group below.

Driven by the well-equipped Hobgoblin warriors, a steady stream of captured cannon fodder frantically climbed the ladder cart and launched the most violent charge towards the city wall of Waterfall Town.

Bear goblins, ogres, dire wolves, trolls, dire apes, all kinds of evil humanoids and ferocious beasts faced the fiercest counterattack on the city wall, and fell down like reaping wheat.

The vigorous and violent ape used his agile skills to take the lead in rushing to the top of the ladder car, and was about to approach the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, a sturdy and sturdy wolf behind him took advantage of this gap to successfully jump to the position before the violent ape fell. His scarlet pupils stared at the moving figures on the city wall. With a vigorous kick of his legs, he descended from the sky toward the city wall.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Hiding in the bunker, several spear warriors who had been waiting for a long time, swung their sharp armor-piercing spears, accompanied by the whining of the fierce wolf, hot blood swept down, and the huge body fell into the crimson moat, in a frenzy. In the ferocious school of fish, only for a moment, there are no bones left.

"Whizzing!"

On the other side, the two ogres who had just emerged from the cloud ladder were directly pierced by the sharp arrows fired by the ballista that had already been adjusted, leaving a **** hole in their hideous face and fell on their backs.

"boom!"

Under the baptism of the hot kerosene in the steel crucible, several ugly trolls were scalded to the point where they fell to the ground and rolled around frantically.

In the continuous attack, under the most ferocious counterattack of the defenders on the waterfall, no enemy has ever successfully passed the ladder car, broke through the defense line, and jumped into the interior of the city wall.

"Bowmen! Catapults! Cover! Attack!"

The Hobgoblin army commander standing in the siege tower looked at the long-range suppression method that was already close to the attack range, and immediately waved the beheading axe in his hand and roared.

"Are you ready?" Carlos, who was standing on the city wall commanding the troops, glanced at the approaching siege towers, hobgoblin archers, and long-range slingshots in the distance, and turned to Thor, who was tinkering with a special device behind him. Wei said.

Although they occupied the most favorable terrain to defend the city, they used various unique advantages to make it difficult for the enemy to approach the city wall for half a step.

But he also knew that when the enemy's long-range suppression method approached, it was the moment when the defenders of the city wall suffered casualties.

At that time, these captive cannon fodders who were driven by the hobgoblins to charge will use this gap to break through the defense line and rush into the city wall, and start the bloodiest close combat, which is the last thing the defenders want to see.

"It'll be ready soon!" Torvey's messy long hair was dripping with sweat beads, and in front of him was a half-human-high, mechanical-like object. Bright and dark magic aura.

"It's incredible that this goblin wizard was able to design a blueprint for a magical power device. Although it is the lowest-level and most rudimentary defective product, it is enough to deal with the arrow rain and catapult of the hobgoblins. "

Torvey looked at the simple mechanical device in front of him, wiped the bead of sweat on his forehead, put two dark blue magic energy crystals the size of fingernails into the groove of the mechanical device, and sighed slightly:

"It's a pity that this magic crystal is an essential energy source for the wizard's tower. We got these two at a huge cost. War is always the most expensive."

"A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. For us, the population is the most precious resource. They are the foundation of our foothold in the wilderness."

Carlos looked at the soldiers defending on the city wall and the attacking enemy and sighed: "After all, money is gone, you can always find a way to get it, but if people are gone, they will disappear forever."

"Okay! The magic power device is activated!" The moment Torvey put the two magic crystals in his hand, his eyes narrowed and he let out a low voice.

As soon as the voice fell, the flashing mechanical device placed in front of him suddenly burst into a dazzling brilliance.

Immediately afterwards, in the inconspicuous corners of the city wall, the inlaid crystals exuded magical light at the same time.

Then it turned into beams of light and gathered together to form an almost invisible protective barrier, covering the entire defensive range of the city wall.

"Bowman! Shoot!"

"Ejection catapult! Heavy catapult! Launch!"

The hurried orders of the Hobgoblin commanders were issued.

Accompanied by the echo of the bowstrings and the rapid sound of the strong crossbow pulling the trigger, like the sharp arrows under the rain, the crossbow roared towards the city wall of the waterfall town.

The trebuchets that had been prepared for a long time, launched a torrential rain-like stone roaring down from the sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The rain of arrows galloping in the sky and the whistling stones were all intercepted by an invisible protective barrier at the moment when they were about to fall into the city wall. Miserable wailing, and piles of **** corpses.

"How long can this barrier last?" Carlos looked at the protective barrier that blocked all attacks, and looked worriedly at Torvi who was controlling the mechanical device.

"Ten minutes at most, no way, the power source is too little." Torvey said in a weak voice:

"And this kind of barrier can't resist magical attacks. As a fully organized hobgoblin army, it is impossible for them to have no sacrificial troops. Therefore, we must clean up all these cannon fodder before the protective barrier disappears, otherwise it will be our turn to equip If the elite hobgoblin warriors attack the city together, the casualties will be great."

"Boom!"

There was a deafening loud noise, and then a siege tower in the hobgoblin army collapsed in the explosion, and dozens of hobgoblin archers hiding in the siege tower screamed in the sea of ​​fire.

"Beautiful!" Carlos couldn't help but exclaimed. Among the siege troops of these hobgoblins, the greatest threat was actually these siege towers, which were almost the same height as the city wall.

Many Hobgoblin warriors can be hidden in this siege machine, and they use the shutters of the tower to suppress them remotely.

And when the siege tower is pushed close to the city wall, the hobgoblin warriors hidden in the tower can take advantage of the situation to enter the city wall of Waterfall Town and start the bloodiest hand-to-hand battle.

However, the siege tower with solid structure, even the most powerful "fireball" among the third-level spells, could not cause effective damage. For the sudden attack, he could not help but turn around and look at the direction of the attack source with some doubts.

"It turned out to be you?" Looking at the figure appearing on the city wall, Carlos said in surprise.

"I'm also a person from Waterfall Town now, so of course I have to do my part in the defense of Waterfall Town." The sorceress Andrina, holding a staff, left a sentence and continued looking outside the city. Ready for the next attack spell.

Hearing this, Carlos looked relieved, and then glanced at the two warriors holding steel shields not far away.

The two instantly understood what he meant, and immediately dispersed around the sorceress to defend.

"Lord Carlos, the longbowmen guards in the upper city have been assembled. Let's arrange a defense mission." At this time, with the sound of rapid footsteps, nearly a hundred half-elves with longbows appeared under the leadership of Lilia. on the city walls.

This group of half-elf longbowmen are all wrapped with leather cloth, their wrists are protected with leather ropes and leather blocks, they also wear protective holsters at their finger joints, and long swords or machetes are hung around their waists. Their equipment is made of leather. Armor is the main one, in addition to a longbow over 1.5 meters, there are two bags full of special arrows on his back.

"You guys are so timely. With you, the follow-up Hobgoblin warriors will not be such a headache." Carlos immediately greeted them and began to place defensive positions for these half-elf longbowmen on the city wall.

"For the glory of the Almighty! The bravest warriors of the Heruk Hobgoblins, charge!" The Hobgoblin legion commander looked at the cannon fodder that was about to be exhausted, raised the decapitation axe to the sky, and roared.

Immediately, the hobgoblin warriors who were waiting in the array took a neat step, accompanied by the echo of hundreds of war boots. These hobgoblin warriors dressed in pure black armor and smeared with blood-red stripes clenched their sharp blades and raised their shields. In a neat and orderly manner, he launched a violent charge towards the city walls of Waterfall Town.

"Sacrificial troops, dispatch!"

As soon as the voice fell, the wolf howls of each other rang out one after another, and nearly a hundred robes of Hobgoblin wizards, warlocks, and priests drove the wolves to the front line of the battlefield quickly.

——“Second-level spell: Desecration!”

- "Three-Circle Spell: Control the Dead!"

——“Four Rings Divine Art: Fourth-level Undead Summoning Art!”

...

In the hobgoblin sacrificial force, under a large area of ​​fallen evil spells, the icy negative energy aura was like a raging wave, rapidly pouring into the ground and rapidly spreading to the very center of the battlefield. .

In an instant, the countless dead humanoid corpses on the ground were enveloped by the negative energy aura, as if they felt the call of the dead. Strangely, they all stood up stiffly, took up the weapons they used to fight in life, turned into undead creatures, moved clumsily, stepped on the siege ladder, and walked towards the city wall with blood marks one by one.

- "Supernatural ability: Dispel undead!"

On the city wall, more than a dozen priests of Merika led by Lilia immediately sang high-spirited divine incantations, and the light golden light arrays quickly spread to the undead creatures, and all the nearby undead creatures all turned into piles. Smoky black ash.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

When the dispelling light disappeared, bottles of holy water burst into the air, and a large pool of holy water splashed down.

The dense undead creatures around are like piles of raw meat thrown into a hot oil pan, braving the smoke of owls and turning into black ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The sacrificial troops of the hobgoblins have emerged, and the protective barrier of the city wall is about to disappear. Yas, Albert, Chris, the trebuchets and the sacrificial troops of the hobgoblins will be handed over to you." Carlos glanced at the movement below the city wall. , said solemnly.

"The two of you will deal with the trebuchets, and hand over the sacrificial troops to me." Albert, who was holding the thunder and lightning spear, finished speaking, and disappeared into the city wall in a leap.

Yass and Chris looked at each other, and at the same time they turned into two circles of light and disappeared in place.

"The goblin warriors have been dispatched, and the caster troops are ready to attack!" Carlos shouted with a condensed expression.

As soon as the words fell, more than forty warlocks, druids, and a small number of wizards appeared from the corner of the city wall, and under the protection of many shield warriors, began to chant hurried spells.

- "Three-ring spell: Fireball!"

- "Three-ring magic: Summoning Thunder!"

...

One after another gorgeous magic exudes dangerous magic fluctuations, smashing into all the charging hobgoblin warriors.

——“Fourth Ring Spell: Gathering Explosive Flames!”

At the same time, the magic of the sorceress Andrina was successfully condensed again. Under her guidance, a solid fireball the size of a basketball, accompanied by a loud 'boom', once again submerged a siege tower in the ruins. in a sea of ​​fire.

"Longbowmen, shoot!"

With the order, the half-elf longbowmen who had been waiting for a long time quickly pulled their bowstrings, and the specially made conical armor-piercing arrows shot out from the strings. , the Hobgoblin warriors behind the troops fell to the ground one after another.

"Master Qingchen, the Hobgoblin warriors have launched the general attack." Looking at the situation that had not been reversed, Carlos immediately walked to the Druid Qingchen who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"It seems that the reinforcements in Horn Town have an accident again." Master Qingchen opened his eyes and whispered, then got up and took out a green holly branch. Under the protection of two shield warriors, he walked to the city wall.

——“Five Rings Divine Art: Summon Thunder and Lightning Storm!”

In the dark cloudy sky, a large group of thick thunderclouds quickly condensed above the Hobgoblins, so that the entire battlefield became more and more dark.

"Crack!"

Immediately afterwards, a flash of lightning pierced the sky, followed by an earth-shattering sound of thunder, deep purple electric light, and sword-like lightning accompanied by thunder, and under the guidance of Master Qingchen, one after another fell into the sky. Hobgoblin warriors, as well as in the sacrificial troop group.

As the lightning flashed from the thunder, charred black corpses jumping with dark purple arcs and smoking thick smoke were continuously left on the battlefield.

In just a moment, fifteen deep purple lightning bolts raged, leaving nearly a hundred corpses of Hobgoblins.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Storm Lord Albert, who used the "flying technique" to hide in the clouds, raised a dark purple arc lightning spear, and under his flying long hair was a pious and crazy face.

I saw him roaring loudly: "All those who despise the power of the God of Storms will usher in the most angry destructive power of nature!

Talos, God of Storms! Your most devout believers long for your power to come, let all meet the wrath of the storm! "

In Albert's frantic roar, the explosive electric shock pattern worn on his chest flashed with dazzling brilliance. With the surging light of divine magic, the whole sky became darker and darker again, angry thunder was roaring, and the whole earth seemed to be trembling.

"It's a believer of the God of Storms! Stop him! Stop him!"

The captain of the Hobgoblin army noticed the figure jumping with dark purple arcs in the sky, his expression changed suddenly, a look of fear appeared in his eyes, and then he hurriedly roared at the casters of the sacrificial troops.

When the spellcasters in the Hobgoblin Sacrifice Force heard the words, three Hobgoblin wizards who cast the "flying technique" immediately appeared and rushed into the sky.

"This is the thunder ceremony of the Wrath of the Destroyer, is he crazy? This will kill him!" The crowd on the city wall noticed Albert's situation, and all changed color.

"Looking for death!" Looking at the three hobgoblin priests who arrived, a cold light flashed across Albert's expression surrounded by electric arcs.

- "Supernatural ability: thunder and lightning weapons!"

The crackling lightning surrounded the spear, and the burst of strong light almost obscured the view, and then the spear seemed to be a lightning bolt to cut through the sky.

"Pfft!"

A goblin wizard's chest was punched through a **** hole on the spot and fell toward the ground.

The other Hobgoblin wizard who was about to flee in panic just turned around, and his entire body was tightly embraced by Albert, and with the arc jumping wildly, the Hobgoblin wizard directly turned into a charred corpse.

- "Supernatural ability: thunder and lightning weapons!"

The thrown spear returned to Albert's hands in an instant, and the crackling lightning circled again, and a bolt of lightning cut through the sky.

- "Spell Counter!"

Before the last Hobgoblin wizard who arrived, he waved his staff, and an invisible wave spread rapidly towards Albert.

Albert, who was floating in the air, suddenly changed his expression, and the "Flying Technique" he had blessed disappeared without a trace. I saw his body paused for a while, and he fell directly towards the group of hobgoblin sacrificial troops.

"It's over! It seems that believing in evil gods really doesn't have a good end. I didn't expect that he, who was flooded with chaos, did not die in the thunder and lightning baptism of the storm god, but eventually died in the hands of the goblin." Irvey noticed Albert's falling figure and sighed deeply.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Torvey, who looked sad, noticed that Albert's falling body was caught by a black shadow across the sky, a surprise appeared in his expression, and then he said a little excitedly: "It's Thorne! I didn't expect him to bring the needle-leaf rangers from Merikai Temple to support."
