The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 282 Taking the lead
Cerberus is the third-level unit of Hell, three-headed hounds are at level 4, and hellhounds that can breathe fire are at level 5.
Generally speaking, hell dogs can advance to level 5 at most, but some with stronger bloodlines will mutate into hidden species. The three hell dogs beside Fiona were as high as level 8.
The most common Cerberus, even with Fiona's Cerberus talent bonus, is at most equivalent to a Tier 4 soldier.
Even though they are different from wild monsters and have the hero's primary defense skills and treasure bonuses, Yan Feng and his team can still kill one arrow at a time.
The Pegasus archers are a little worse. Firstly, they are actually melee units and do not have the characteristics of archers. Secondly, the bows and arrows they use are made by themselves in Bowser City, and the damage is relatively low.
There was no way, even if Xu Lai spent money to find a job for them, bows and arrows were not part of their regular equipment, and they couldn't buy them no matter how much money they spent.
However, the attack targets of these Pegasus shooters are not hell hounds, but small level 1 monsters, level 2 monsters, and large level 3 monsters.
The devil doesn't care about these monsters at all, or in other words, according to the devil's usual strategy, these monsters are meant to die.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the death of these monsters can be exchanged for more valuable horned devils.
However, this time, the Evil God and the Evil God King under Fiona could only tell their masters in embarrassment that they had no way to cast spells.
Fiona was angry, but she was actually mentally prepared.
In order to test whether it was an accident before, Fiona had already tried casting a spell when she learned that the target was nearby.
Unfortunately, she failed to cast the spell successfully. It was still the same situation as last night. She couldn't even open the spell book, even using the scroll to cast the spell.
Combined with the report from her evil god, she could basically confirm that her opponent had the ability to ban demons.
But even so, she still did not change her strategy. She still used the monsters as cover and kept pushing forward.
There is no way. Although Magog's fireball can attack in groups, the attack distance is calculated based on the mage's range. No matter how high the power value is, the distance cannot be increased.
Therefore, before getting close to the enemy, she would have to withstand the enemy's arrows. This was something she had been mentally prepared for.
However, for today's revenge, in addition to pulling out all the soldiers from her territory, she also specially replaced a new set of equipment.
Although she is a devil, she is very good at spells, and because she lacks opportunities for direct combat, she has always liked to use acceleration and spell-based equipment and treasures.
However, she is a devil after all, and has collected a lot of physical equipment and treasures, so she will not be restricted by a mere ban on demons.
She was even a little lucky that she was a devil and her physical combat ability was still very strong.
Unlike those mages, warlocks, pagans, etc., once the demon is banned, it is equivalent to being restrained. The tenth level of strength cannot even use the first or second level.
Following Yan Feng was the ballista set up by Xu Lai.
As a city defense and siege weapon, the attack range of the ballista is unquestionable, with a full half-arrow range of 700 meters and a standard range of 350 meters.
With Xu Lai's advanced archery skills, the damage at 700 meters is still good. The most important thing is that the health of low-level monsters is not high.
The first-level monsters are worse than farmers, with only 30 basic health points, and only about 60 health points including their physical constitution.
There is no way, this is a racial characteristic, and the health of this small-sized creature is inherently weak.
And large creatures like Behemoths, Cyclops, Dragons, and Titans with a giant character on them have a natural life advantage.
Even an ordinary ballista with slightly lower attack power, with the addition of Xu Lai's advanced archery and tree elf bow, as well as a 10% morale increase, half an arrow can do more than 120 points of damage.
No one in the monster family can block this damage. If you are unlucky, the penetration can kill two of them directly.
Xu Lai still has 1 lucky point, and the 10% chance is not too high. A salvo of 9 ballistas can basically trigger one.
A crossbow with a rainbow will definitely kill two demons, no matter their level, whether they are monsters or hellhounds.
A volley from a ballista can last up to 5 or 6 seconds under the control of skilled civilians.
At this time, the demon army had no time to advance very far, because they put the trashiest monsters at the front.
Monsters with weak health actually have an advantage in agility. Regardless of how they jump, they are faster than militiamen.
But after all, the level was too low, and they were harassed by the archers and ballistas led by Yan Feng, so the overall movement was still slow.
The ballista has only 30 rounds of ammunition. After returning to the Northern Empire, Xu Lai had no time to stock up on the ballista ammunition. Luo Mingru didn't even have a blacksmith shop, let alone the ballista ammunition.
The ammunition cart that the merchants sold to Xu Lai was stocked with ammunition of various specifications, but more of it was arrows.
These ammunition are divided equally among 9 ballistas, which only adds 20 rounds of ammunition to each ballista.
However, 20 rounds of ammunition should be enough. No matter how slow the demon army is, it is impossible for them to shoot 50 times calmly.
There was a crack of thunder, and the 20% chance of the Thunderbolt Ballista was finally triggered. A bowl-thick bolt of lightning fell out of thin air, illuminating half of the battlefield.
The falling electric light was divided into several strands, and several small monsters around the monster were directly electrocuted to death.
Taking advantage of this sudden brilliance, Xu Lai's eyes quickly scanned the group of demons in the distance.
Unfortunately, the leader of the demon was well hidden, and Xu Lai could not see through the bloodthirsty demons at all.
Behind him, Elvi, who had returned, quietly took off with a huge group of griffons.
With the help of the darkness and the cover of the soldiers in front, the gryphon took off without being noticed by Fiona at all.
The most important thing is that Xu Lai did not dispatch the Royal Griffin in last night's battle.
Therefore, Fiona had no idea that Xu Lai had such an army of nearly 200 griffins hidden under his command.
These griffons are all at least level 5 combat griffins. The key is the swarm dive of royal griffons, which causes physical damage and has melee physical properties.
It does not cause magic damage and is naturally not affected by the Forbidden Magic Ball.
In addition, the demon army is extremely large in number and is commanded by Elvy. As long as the opponent does not have the ability to teleport, they will definitely not be able to avoid this dive bombing.
However, swarm dive requires the griffons to fly to a certain height first, and then dive and land. The time requirement is relatively high, at least more than 5 minutes.
During these five minutes, Xu Lai would not charge easily. Although Elvi had told him the landing point in advance, people would easily get confused once he started charging.
As the demons continued to fall, the morale of the demon army was also affected.
However, the demon's army was extremely large in number. Hundreds of monsters and hellhounds fell down, which was completely insignificant to the army, and the morale loss was naturally not much.
It's a pity that Xu Lai failed to bring out the catapult in Kuba City. Otherwise, if he used the catapult to blast, although not many demons would be killed, the momentum would be greater and the morale would be lost more.
Luo Mingru didn't stay at his own formation. Together with Fang Yang, who came from Green Forest Town for support, he went into Xu Lai's main formation.
Xu Lai frowned and asked him: "Aren't your troops going to take care of it?"
Luo Mingru said: "I am just a burden. Staying there will only cause chaos."
He insisted on pushing over, and Xu Lai couldn't refuse. After all, his more than 200 troops could help Xu Lai relieve a lot of pressure.
The demon army was still advancing steadily, and soon the marksmen under Luo Mingru also started shooting.
Luo Mingru's marksman may not be as powerful as Xu Lai's marksman. His archery level should not be as high as Xu Lai's, but his shooting range is farther than Xu Lai's marksman.
Xu Lai estimated that the maximum shooting range of these marksmen was close to 600 meters, which was 15% more range than normal marksmen.
Luo Mingru was equipped with only a few of his equipment, which were obviously bonuses from the opponent's generals.
But Xu Lai doesn't need to be jealous. The shooting range of his archer generals has been increased by 30%.
With the sharpshooter, Xu Lai and his team's output ability instantly changed qualitatively.
Compared to cavalry archers, infantry archers can shoot far faster and at a faster rate of fire. After all, they don't have to control horses while shooting.
The heroes led by Yan Feng, even with the attack speed bonus of Xu Lai's talent, can't fire as fast as these sharpshooters.
It's the marksman's projectile. The damage is reduced too much. It can cause relatively fatal damage to first-level small monsters and second-level monsters. It will not hurt the third-level large monsters and hell hounds.
But the projectile is so powerful that fluffs of arrows are scattered out, and the enemy is unable to counterattack, which really boosts morale.
The mixed troops on Xu Lai's side had a huge impact on morale. Fortunately, the morale of Luo Mingru's troops was calculated separately, otherwise Xu Lai wouldn't even be able to get the 10% bonus.
However, as the results of the battle continue to expand, morale has gradually climbed to 95 points. With another 5 points, the morale will be like a rainbow, and the damage will increase a lot.
Xu Laiduan sat on the horse. With the Forbidden Magic Ball, he had no worries about being targeted by the enemy's spells. He could sit at a high place and observe the situation.
Moreover, he was surrounded by knights. In the dark night, Xu Lai did not stand out.
Even if others want to behead them, no matter how you look at them, they are the group of high-level knights on Tahan's side, who look more like the head coach.
As half human and half lizard, lizard shooters are stronger than human shooters of the same level, and their standard shooting range is actually further than human shooters.
But they don't have the characteristics and skills to projectile. They wait until the enemy reaches a range of more than 300 meters before these lizard shooters take action.
At this time, Yan Feng and his team had exhausted their ammunition reserves and had to return to the ammunition truck for the first round of ammunition supply.
It's okay to just resupply ammunition. Xu Lai came back from the wilderness with a lot of ammunition. Last night he bought an ammunition truck full of ammunition from a merchant.
What Xu Lai is really worried about is the physical strength of these horse archers. After all, they haven't rested for a few hours since night.
But just as the horse archers were replenishing ammunition, a deafening roar came from the sky.
After the smoke and dust passed, an obvious hole appeared in the middle of the demon army, and the morale of the demon army also dropped significantly. (End of chapter)
