The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 706: A life-or-death decision
With the support of Kerrigan and the leader of the Lava Trolls, Barton, who is gifted with Lava Trolls, the range of the Lava Trolls has also been increased to about 400 meters.
This distance is certainly not as good as the human archers who have the advantage of the city wall.
But if they really shoot, even if humans have the advantage of the city wall, they will definitely fall behind.
There is no way. Even if human archers have the ability to shoot multiple arrows, they still need more physical strength and enough time to prepare.
What's more, even the top sky archers of humans, with the top archery skills of Nine Stars Link, can only shoot 9 arrows at a time.
But the fireballs of the Lava Trolls are not only huge in size, but also explode.
There are densely populated people on the city wall. Once such a super-large fireball explodes, it will at least affect more than a dozen nearby units.
If infantry happens to pass by, a fireball will definitely cover dozens of units.
In terms of range and shooting speed, the fireball is far from comparable to the archer.
But the archer's attack is a physical attack, which is subject to the damage reduction of the ultimate defense technique.
The fireball is a spell attack, which can be affected by the ultimate resistance at most, but the effect of resistance is much worse than that of defense.
In addition, if we only talk about basic damage, the fireball with a slower attack speed has higher damage.
Barton, the leader of the fire demon, is tall and conspicuous, and his own fire control magic spells may not have a chance to stay.
As the saying goes, it is better to take precautions before they happen. Reina keenly noticed the troops that posed the greatest threat to her.
She already had the ultimate defense spell to protect her body, and the Angel Alliance suit plus the War God Statue and the Holy Blood Bottle, and even the offensive aspect had the god-level offensive spell.
With these effects, even if Kerrigan had some advanced artifacts, a mere 4th-level long-horned demon might not be able to beat even the archers of the same level.
Therefore, Reina decisively mobilized all the phantom archers, plus hundreds of ballistas of different levels on the city wall.
The damage of the ballista, especially the ability to break the shield, is much stronger than that of the phantom archer.
Neither Kerrigan nor Barton were willing to see their main forces suffer casualties.
These lava trolls were comparable to the demon army in Kerrigan's mind.
And the long-horned commanders were cannon fodder that could be mass-produced, and no one would feel sorry for them no matter how many died.
The two sides and the front of the lava trolls were full of these long-horned demons, with at least hundreds of thousands of them.
These were only those responsible for cover, not counting the group in front who covered the evil king, nor those behind the lava trolls who were planning to climb the city wall.
Just to knock down these long-horned demons, it was unknown how much firepower would be consumed.
Of course, human shooters had a height advantage after all. Except for the part closest to the lava demons, more meat shields could not actually protect the lava trolls very well.
Under Reina's orders, all the shooters tried to ignore the long-horned demons in front as much as possible, and instead attacked the lava trolls and fire trolls behind them.
From time to time, a ray of light flashed on the trolls.
When this ray of light is on, except for the phantom arrows with a guaranteed hit effect, most of the other arrows will be missed and directly dodged.
Reina is also familiar with the effect of this treasure, called the Dodge Necklace.
The function is that all troops, including herself, will gain 2 seconds of dodge time every minute.
During this period, the basic dodge value of herself and her troops will increase by 100 points, and all damage except magic will be avoided.
It seems uneconomical to exchange two seconds of dodge with one minute of energy storage, but what if the dodge is for the whole army?
The more troops under your command, the more valuable these two seconds of dodge time are.
100 basic dodge points, plus your own dodge, and the dodge effect superimposed by other treasure equipment.
Even if human archers have relevant skills to increase hits, there is a high probability that they will not be able to hit.
Except for the 8th-level phantom archer with a guaranteed hit ability, even the sky archer can only hit nearly one-tenth of it in these two seconds.
Sky Archer also has a skill that can hit the target, but it needs to aim one second in advance.
Barton just got such a precious ultimate treasure from Kerrigan.
Before this, Reina, Xu Lai and others were not aware of it.
Fortunately, this necklace is worn on Barton's neck and is only effective for the lava trolls led by him.
Kerrigan also has a powerful artifact that can reduce 25% of any type of long-range damage, including spells.
With a 2-second dodge, most of the damage of a wave of arrows was dodged.
However, under Reina's command, the defensive force on the city wall is in the form of waves, with continuous attacks.
A wave of damage immunity is not a problem.
"Give an order to all magic archers to prepare earth-based slow arrows and water-based freezing arrows."
The range and number of magic archers are not as good as those of sky archers.
At this time, the only targets they can attack within their range are those horned demon warlords.
Under the effects of their slow arrows and freezing arrows, the Horned Demon Warlords who were rushing in the front were either frozen or slowed, or frozen after being slowed.
The damage of these spell arrows was not high, far less than that of fire arrows and lightning arrows.
But their effect was far greater than that of output arrows.
These Horned Demon Warlords were the front-line warriors. In order to minimize casualties, Kerrigan deliberately laid them thickly and full.
The not-so-wide open space in front of Graycastle was completely blocked by these guys.
As soon as Lena released her slow arrows and freezing arrows, the speed of these horned demons immediately dropped by nearly half.
Slowness was reduced by 25%, while freezing would freeze them completely, and even after thawing, there would still be a 5% slowdown effect.
The entire vanguard was almost in a state of being unable to move for a short time.
They couldn't move, and the other units behind them couldn't move either, and could only wait in place to serve as targets for human archers.
That's not all. After confirming that Kerrigan had put all the troops in, Xu Lai didn't continue to hide.
When he dealt with Mondis before, he summoned three water unicorns.
This time, against Kerrigan, it was a real life-and-death battle, so how could he be stingy.
Xu Lai summoned ten water unicorns in one breath.
If he didn't want to keep a few just in case and be wary of Kerrigan's backhand, he might want to summon all the water unicorns at once.
No matter how powerful the water unicorns are, no matter how talented the ice storm is, after all, the number is there, and it is difficult to form a big deterrent.
But the water unicorn has a skill with a wide coverage, the trace of cloud and mist.
Ten water unicorns run together, or run in the sky. In less than ten minutes, the trace of cloud and mist they spread can cover all the evil god kings and horned demon commanders.
The water unicorns do not cover the rear, but only spread the trace of cloud and mist in the area one kilometer in front of Gray Castle.
At this distance, all the horned demon commanders and evil god kings have a very difficult time taking a step.
Under the multiple deceleration effects, these horned demon commanders can hardly move an inch.
Every step seems to be a heavy burden, and they only walked a dozen steps in half a day.
The trolls and evil god kings behind them scolded angrily, but no matter how angry they were, they could not change the situation on the battlefield.
No one can fly over this section where they can only be beaten and cannot fight back.
Layers of debuffs are superimposed, causing huge casualties for every step of the demons.
But the demons have no intention of retreating.
Anyway, there are suppression elves, and no matter how large the casualties are, it will not affect morale.
And the human archers also need to replenish their ammunition and physical strength.
The four turrets behind the city wall also roared. Two of the high-level magic cannons specially ordered by Xu Lai have been completed and replaced overnight.
The turrets belong to the city defense attack, and are not affected by the half-damage effect of the tower shield. The power is stronger than the phantom heavy arrows of the phantom archers.
Although only four cannons have begun to show their power, these four are shotguns, and each can harvest a large number of demon lives.
On the battlefield, the corpses of demons that keep falling have accumulated to several meters high.
Sometimes, the soldiers in the rear have to deal with the corpses of the horned demons before they can rush over.
After the lava trolls and the fire trolls were in place, they finally launched a counterattack against the human city wall.
And the fire control magic that Lena used twice in a row did not help them cover up much damage, because it would soon be dispelled by Barton.
Many of the evil kings died on the way, but under the cover of a large number of horned demon warlords, half of them finally entered the designated range.
On the city wall, hundreds of horned demons appeared every second.
Although these horned demons could be quickly cleared by the Crusaders, their existence seriously interfered with the output of the shooters.
Only one-third of the lava trolls that were hit hard were left.
The fire trolls had even lower health points, and their losses had already exceeded half.
Before they even fought, more than half of their combat power was destroyed by the enemy. If they were replaced by other troops, they would have been unable to fight again.
But these lava trolls, after the death of the fire trolls, split into small fire demons.
The number did not decrease but increased. Under the focus of the target, the number actually increased by nearly one-third against the trend.
Unfortunately, although the number barely increased by one-third, the attack power decreased a bit.
Even with Krieg's god-level fire magic to weaken the fire resistance, the damage caused was still within the tolerance range of humans.
Seeing that she couldn't stop the lava trolls from approaching, Reina called in the priest team early.
Relying on the priests' group healing and recovery abilities, they fought against the demons.
The demons had explosive range damage, and humans also had crossbows, turrets, and hundreds of catapults that gradually turned their firepower.
God-level fire magic could not offset the huge impact of the city wall.
After the damage of the city wall was reduced, the priests who were amplified by the Sea King's Flag could also firmly hang on to the lives of the archers.
At worst, even if there were some sacrifices, they could be understood and accepted.
Xu Lai and Tahan went back each other, but successfully brought back a lot of archangels.
The angel legion now has nearly 500 people. With the blessing of Elvy, many lives can be resurrected.
Moreover, in terms of the speed of casualties, the demons are much more exaggerated than humans.
The archers on both sides can still fight back and forth and consume each other.
But the demon infantry, those horned demons, basically died in vain.
The walls of Graycastle, which were built by hand on the original foundation, are not so easy to climb.
Even if they managed to climb the walls, the captain of the guards, the golden armored warriors, and the crusaders still had terrifying killing power.
Under the god-level offensive technique, these human warriors, who are at least level 6, can cause a lot of damage.
On the other hand, the demons, the horned demons are a meat shield type that is good at defense, and the damage is not high.
Humans also have the special defense skills, which are more powerful than the god-level defense skills and reduce more damage.
Human warriors and priests can also heal wounds. A group healing spell cannot only heal the archers without healing the infantry.
Although the infantry cannot win, they have a large number. Just from the corpses of millions of little demons, they have raised hundreds of thousands of long-horned demons.
And there are only so many human infantry, and they need to take turns to rest to wait for the natural recovery of physical strength and even life.
If time continues, the final result is really hard to say.
However, the battle in the sky is a one-sided situation.
Originally, there were a large number of little demons and winged demons, and a few fire elves summoned by the gate of hell.
The royal griffins could only barely defend the sky above the city wall.
But with the addition of the ten water unicorns, the situation was reversed in an instant.
The speed at which the abyss demons summoned the fire elves was far slower than the speed at which the water unicorns eliminated the fire elves.
Besides, Xu Lai had already summoned the Water Qilin, so there was no need for Lena to hide.
The dozen golden dragons summoned by the Heart of the Dragon also flew into the sky and joined the battle.
The Royal Griffin had extremely strong combat capabilities, but the monsters could only be killed one by one.
With the hail storm of the Water Qilin, the speed was slightly improved.
Otherwise, the remaining hundreds of thousands of little demons would be killed by the Winged Demons, and each of these thousands of Royal Griffins would kill more than a hundred times the number of enemies.
After the Golden Dragon joined, a breath could burn at least dozens to hundreds of them.
The sudden appearance of the Water Qilin and the Golden Dragon finally made Kerrigan, who had been ready to go, think of taking action himself.
However, after looking at the sky, he decided to wait a little longer.
Three hours later, the sky was dark. In order not to waste the opportunity to revive, the angels pulled up more than a thousand archers before 12 o'clock.
It was at this time that the Crypt Demon, who had been silent, suddenly moved.
Although Xu Lai had been prepared, he even led the Knights of the Guards to ambush these crypt demons.
He and Roland, with the Knights of Holy Light, charged back and forth on the few main roads of Graycastle.
However, there were too many crypt demons, and they had no clear strategic goals at all.
Xu Lai had thought that they would destroy the catapults and open the gates.
Who knew that these crypt demons were just rushing to create chaos.
Their targets were houses, workshops, and teams responsible for transporting ammunition and food supplies.
Of course, they also included key locations such as military camps, city gates, watchtowers, and catapult positions.
The emergence of a large number of crypt demons caused serious chaos in Graycastle, and there were problems with logistics and personnel rotation.
Fortunately, there were reserve troops on the city walls, as well as mountains of resources, so there would be no problems for a while.
Xu Lai, who was charging, suddenly felt a creepy feeling at this time.
Elvy, who had been silently following Xu Lai, flapped her wings and blocked Xu Lai's way.
Through the corner of his eye just now, Xu Lai suddenly saw an extremely tall figure.
In front, behind, and on both sides of this figure, there were countless hell barons wearing gorgeous brocade robes and holding huge sickles. (End of this chapter)
