Night Ranger

"Gargoyle, immune to most witchcraft, also has high resistance to physical attacks, but..."

"Blunt weapon damage is doubled!"

Such information appeared in Marvin's mind.

This is the only way to restrain ordinary gargoyles. In the entire River Beach City army, only the knights of the Silver Church would carry the Holy Hammer as one of the standard weapons like Guderian!

The rest of the knights were equipped with long spears on horseback, and most of them used two-handed swords when they dismounted.

Only the guardian knights of the Silver Church will carry a holy hammer in addition to the two-handed sword.

As a blunt weapon, the holy hammer can do considerable damage to gargoyles. In addition, the strength of these guardian knights was not weak, and with the cooperation of each other, the first round of the gargoyle's pounce was completely wiped out!

All the gargoyles were smashed crookedly by the hammer, and finally fell hard to the ground.

Once the stone wings were broken, these nimble monsters could do no more damage to the soldiers.

The members of the river beach city guard immediately rushed forward, chopping it up with wild swords.

And the few guardian knights who missed, there will also be wizards to help, and use spells to simply contain them.

These wizards all know some force field spells, which can change the flying style of the gargoyle, which can be of great help to the knights.

The combination of wizards, shield guards, and guardian knights holding blunt weapons is simply the nemesis of gargoyles!

Marvin knew long ago that it was impossible for the gargoyles to pounce on them all in one go. Then they will lose the flexible battle space.

In order to cooperate with each other. They will keep their distance from each other, forming a continuous attack.

It's their instinct.

If Madeline's style of play was followed, the death toll would probably soar.

But under Marvin's command. But there was a completely different result.

After the first round of air strikes, except for a few unlucky ghosts who were slightly injured, the rest of the people were all safe and sound.

And those dozens of gargoyles were all smashed to the ground, turning into dust and fragments all over the place.

Such a result can be called remarkable.

And what is even more worth mentioning is. Marvin's tactics save a lot of wizard's spell slots!

Wizard spells are not in unlimited supply. The monsters behind the scarlet monastery are not just gargoyles.

"Can the Holy Hammer of the Silver Church restrain Gargoyles?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, thinking that the divine power attached to it was working. Only a few people were thinking about why Marvin ordered the use of a hammer. Instead of a two-handed sword.

...

"Get ready! The second round is coming!"

Marvin yelled.

Now that Madeline has temporarily handed over the command to him, he must take care of every detail.

The big win in the first round should not cause the next round to be taken lightly.

details make a difference.

All the knights were in high spirits. Hold the hammer tightly!

The gargoyles didn't know what to do, they didn't seem to see the tragic death of the first wave of companions, but continued to pounce on them.

This wave, the number is obviously much more than the first wave!

The knights of the Silver Church shot one after another, and the holy hammer hit with precision, knocking down the gargoyles one after another.

On the other side, the blood clan members who had been dormant for a long time were also under Marvin's order. started their task.

What they need to do is support and restraint.

Relying on its own speed advantage and low-altitude flying ability, pin down redundant gargoyles.

This is for people of blood race. very easy. They had originally signed an agreement with Madeline, and now that the commander is Marvin, he naturally wouldn't let these strong men rest.

One by one, the blood races continued to fly at low altitude.

The cloaked man Gwen flew up directly from the head of a gargoyle, grabbed his wings, and then performed an amazing move in the air!

He actually directly relied on his own strength to grab the Gargoyle's wings. Then drop it to the ground!

Crash!

Another piece of debris.

High brittleness, easy to break. This is the biggest weakness of ordinary gargoyles. But someone like Gwen who can beat a gargoyle to death is definitely the best in the blood race.

...

"What a high power!"

While directing everyone to do every detail well, Marvin noticed Gwen's eye-catching performance.

This guy, who has been keeping a low profile before, is finally showing his strength gradually.

The third-rank Vampire Earl looks similar to Kanos, but his strength is significantly higher than that of Kanos.

Marvin thought to himself, if he didn't have the part-time job of Warlock, he might not be Gwen's opponent based on the abilities of Night Walker and Ranger alone!

Super high speed and strength, it's as if Marvin met Black Jack who was a black butcher back then.

But the suppression is probably not that strong.

Of course, once transformed into a shadow form or a beast form, the situation will be different.

The wonderful profession of Warlock has caused Marvin's combat effectiveness to fluctuate greatly. After fighting against the scarlet patriarch that night, the beast form is still unusable, and Marvin doesn't know when he will be able to activate it again.

...

What happened next, just as Marvin expected, the extra gargoyles were lured away by the blood clan, and the guardian knights dealt with it easily.

The gargoyle jumped down desperately, and swung a hammer to hit it.

One hit and one accurate.

The paladins of the Silver Church turned into stonemasons one after another, smashing the gargoyles that had been corroded by evil forces into stones again.

Fifteen minutes later.

The entire first hall was covered with dust, and everyone was coughing continuously.

But everyone's eyes are full of joy.

"It's that simple?"

"Are these gargoyles fools? Just throwing themselves into the net?"

A guardian knight rubbed his sore shoulders. He couldn't help being surprised and said: "I killed four of them."

"Hey, I'm five." The companion beside him smiled triumphantly: "You lost to me. Again."

However, no matter what, everyone looked at Marvin differently.

Just a few tens of minutes. From being raided by gargoyles, then overwhelmed, and finally...

The gargoyle army is wiped out!

All this is because of this unprecedented tactic proposed by Marvin.

Even the most knowledgeable wizards have not discovered the weakness of the gargoyle, and the smarter ones will use force field spells to restrain them, and then let their followers kill them.

No one knew that blunt weapons were the natural enemy of gargoyles. As for such remote and practical knowledge, Marvin knows by heart, I don't know how many.

This is his greatest strength.

...

"Very novel tactics." Madeline had a cold face. Looking at Marvin up and down: "Is it your grandfather who inspired you again?"

"As expected of the city lord, I haven't said it yet. You have already learned to infer other things from one instance."

Marvin said with a smile.

"Hmph! Mysterious guy, let's go!" Madeline gave an order, ordering everyone to move on.

Who knew that at this moment, Ma Wen suddenly said:

"slow!"

Madeline frowned and said, "What else do you want to do?"

Marvin coughed: "Sorry, my lord."

"But would you please stand aside? Gargoyles are not the only monsters in the second hall. This battle is not over yet."

"I am the supreme commander, so let me give way, thank you, thank you very much for your cooperation."

...

Under Madeline's livid little face, Marvin began to regroup and arrange everyone.

After killing hundreds of gargoyles in one go, only a few of them suffered some skin injuries. This is already a miracle.

Everyone's morale is very strong.

And look into Marvin's eyes. There is a lot of admiration.

This is a world that respects the strong and the wise. The former is simple, and fists determine everything; the latter is simpler. Wisdom is sometimes more useful than fists.

Ma Wen had already shown his fist by killing the Corpse King alone; he had shown his wisdom by arranging tactics.

After the two-pronged approach, no one is dissatisfied with Marvin as the interim commander.

Even if there is, it will not be stupid enough to show it. These guys are smart people.

Didn't you see Madeline who has been taken away from power followed Ma Wen like an angry little daughter-in-law?

The city lord didn't say anything, let alone those people who foolishly sent them to the door to slap people in the face.

...

"The gargoyles will not take the initiative to attack us. The only one who can encourage them is the deep sea banshee entrenched in the second hall."

"Deep Sea Banshee. Everyone should know something about it. Everyone has seen their picture books and some materials. These monsters like to use their ultra-low-altitude flying ability and sharp claws to shuttle through the crowd, and then take our lives."

"I have a targeted tactic. As long as everyone firmly implements our tactic, victory is within easy reach."

As Marvin spoke, he took out pieces of strong fishing nets from the bracelet on his right hand!

His storage equipment has long been insufficient, so he took the time to purchase two from the Ranger Union.

This bracelet is one of them, and its internal space is much larger than that of a void conch.

"The shield guards step forward. Every four people take a fishing net. The knights of the defense team also need to lead the battle." Marvin ordered.

"I need you to form this formation..." he began to gesture.

"All the shield guards are at the forefront, and the patrols are interspersed inside. Pay attention to protecting your vital points."

"Once the deep sea banshee launches a surprise attack, the shield defenders don't need to defend, they won't be able to tear your armor. You just need to set up your fishing nets."

"These banshees will be hung on it, and they won't be able to break free."

"Next, it's time for the defense team to harvest. Remember, you must cut off the banshee's head."

"That's their only weakness."

...

Thirty minutes later.

In the second hall, there was a lot of blood in the air that was originally filled with water elements.

A large pile of headless corpses of deep sea banshees were piled together.

The atmosphere became a little frenzied!

The eyes of everyone looking at Ma Wen are no longer admiration, but worship!

Marvin's second tactic was equally effective.

Without any effort, they killed more than thirty deep sea banshees!

Almost no battle damage.

Marvin walks the talk.

When it was time to distribute the spoils, Madeline signaled Marvin to pick first without saying a word.

Marvin went straight to the best. It was a treasure chest with a magic lock.

It is also the only treasure chest with a magic lock in the entire second hall.

He knew that there was a scroll in this box.

The name of that scroll is [Magical Scroll], the effect... is naturally amazing.
