Facing a new round of shooting, they had no intention of evading. Instead, they changed the projection position of the phantom playback stone so that they were no longer in front of them, but to the left or right, walking side by side with the real clippers.
When true and false are mixed together, the difficulty of identification rises sharply. Even the mages of the slave trading group are a little dumbfounded. Isn't this the mirror technique of the mages?
It's just that it's now being applied to warships.
The distance between the two parties was too far, and they couldn't cast dispelling magic. Even they couldn't distinguish between true and false.
The only thing you can do is to take a gamble and see if you can win the 50% chance - provided that you can hit it.
Although those clippers did not deliberately dodge, they were still moving at high speed. If you want to hit, you need super high shooting skills. Many crossbow gunners are in a drunken state, which is very detrimental to them.
Eight out of ten arrows failed.
The remaining two arrows still have to bet on odds.
But what the mages of the slave trading group don't know is that the chance of their bet is not 50%, but 25%. Even if they really hit the real clipper, there is still only half a chance of causing damage, because The invisibility-breaking flare only allowed them to see these originally invisible clippers with the naked eye, but it did not break the real effect of the shadow cloak - the clippers were now like ghosts, flashing quickly between the material plane and the shadow plane. , the chance of being shot by an entity is only 50%.
Even if they really win the 50% chance of betting, there will still be an extremely heavy sidecar shield waiting for them.
The compartment of the sidecar looks like a solid piece of wood, but the interior is actually made of multi-layer weaving like a rattan shield. The wooden cores are interlaced horizontally and vertically, with a total of five layers. This technique comes from woad. Tree people, their log shields are made of this. This not only gives these sidecars extremely strong resistance to hacking, but also has good anti-piercing ability, even from the crossbow arrows of the ship-borne ballista. Can withstand it.
The only crossbow bolt that hit the clipper, only half of it penetrated the wall shield of the side car and hung there in plain sight, telling the sailors of the slave trading group that they were not facing a group of ghosts, but a group of living people.
However, it wasted too much time for them to find out the other side's true and false situation. The Clippers had already brought the distance between the two sides close enough, so close that they entered the blind spot of the ballista.
This distance is when the spell casters of the slave trading group begin to show their power.
Dozens of fireballs were thrown down overwhelmingly.
This lowest level group attack spell is always the first choice for such large-scale wars, especially naval battles.
Compared to lightning beams of the same level, this thing covers a wider range and is brainless to use. It also has a flame auxiliary attack. If it can ignite the enemy's warship, it will be a big profit.
Under such an indiscriminate group attack, the phantom effect is relatively small, and one can only rely on the 50% chance of the phantom cloak.
However, the actual killing effect achieved is relatively average. The explosive power of a fireball spell has neither the ability to break the wall shield nor the ability to destroy the clipper. There is not even a chance to ignite it. What they are facing is also experienced in many battles. Elites with rich combat experience. Before setting off, they soaked the wall shields in water. Although it would make them very heavy, they were originally used to hold up, not to wield, so naturally there was nothing wrong with them. Influence.
"Now, board the ship." Gavin took the lead in issuing the attack order.
The wall shield on the clipper suddenly opened, revealing huge figures with a height of three and a half meters below. Who else could it be but the hobgoblin giants from the Giant Plains.
Each of them was naked with their big feet and shirtless body showing off their exaggerated muscles, and they were holding large weapons of astonishing size. It wasn’t that they didn’t have armor, but they had taken it off before going into battle. They wore heavy armor during naval battles. Kai, that’s because you think your death is too slow. Once you fall into the water, unless you have the ability to breathe in water, you will be drowned alive.
But the earthy yellow light shining on them showed that they were not defenseless, but had cast a series of auxiliary spells such as stone skin, brute force, and jumping.
One by one, they squatted down suddenly, and with loud shouts, the bows of these clipper boats sank suddenly, giving people a feeling of capsizing. Then, on each boat, there was a huge monster, jumped out, and headed straight for the three ships. Deck of a schooner.
The two extraordinary battle groups of the Conqueror's Army had a lot of private discussions and learned from each other's advantages.
The Goliath Chapter learns the spirit and skills of legionary warfare from the hobgoblins.
The hobgoblin giants learned various high-mountain combat skills from Goliath, especially jumping tactics, and were very popular with these large warriors. They themselves had absolute advantages in size and weight, and they were taller than ordinary people with just one step. , if combined with jumping tactics, it will be able to exert corresponding combat effectiveness.
The most unique sight of the Conqueror's Army during this period was not the giant cavalry, but the shocking scene of a group of hobgoblin giants practicing leap frogs, squats, and exercising their leg muscles every day.
They have certain skills in this area. With special training, it is impossible to catch up with the talented Goliath who has been training since childhood in a short time. However, with the help of jumping skills, they can jump Don't be too simple on a three-masted sailboat that's only four or five meters taller than their clippers.
Although the three sailboats in the Basilica Lair are shrouded in the no-fly zone, what is prohibited is the magic of flight, or the ability to fly with two wings, rather than purely relying on the inertial power of physical bouncing.
Even flying, unless it is a flying technique that relies entirely on magical power and does not have any flying ability, will crash. If you have wings, you can use them to glide before landing until your feet touch the ground. , but without the corresponding key, there is no way to take off again.
Many hobgoblin giants directly crossed the edge and stepped on the place where the slave trading sailors were concentrated. Needless to say, the consequences of being stepped on by them were that their weight alone could smash an adult to half to death. Not to mention that the large weapons they hold in their hands are not just decorations. They have been rounded before landing. When they land, it will be the moment when their most sharp attack is launched.
"Gigantic hobgoblins, these are the giant hobgoblins from the Giant Plains. They are members of the conqueror's army!"
"Hell, isn't the army of conquerors besieging Ivanso? Why did they come to Ilip and the sea to attack us?"
"Run, run quickly, I can't stop you, I can't stop you at all."
"Stop, everyone, stop for me. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy. No matter how powerful the conqueror's army is, it is only on the ground. They cannot send their entire army over. They only come with a small number of elites. We There is still a chance of victory, and if you kill one, you will lose one."
"Don't take chances. That Conqueror Gavin is a murderous executioner who hates people like us very much. As long as we fall into his hands, we will be chopped into pieces. We are not here for the Basilisk Lizard." We are fighting for our own people, but we are fighting for ourselves, so let me kill you."
"It's just a difference in body size, and it scares you like this. Looking at your abilities, do you think you are the only one who can grow bigger? Look at my giant transformation technique."
When the hobgoblin giants began to attack, the slave traders also knew who they were being attacked by.
Suddenly, the entire deck was in chaos, with some cowering and fleeing in haste.
There are also those who move forward bravely, and some who use magic on the spot to transform themselves into giants that are no less inferior to the hobgoblin giants, tit for tat.
But such people often die the fastest.
Before the hobgoblin giant landed, the first one to fall was also the fireball.
Although Gavin and the others came with the purpose of snatching the three-masted sailboat, it does not mean that they will not use some means. Before it officially falls into their hands, the ship does not belong to them. If it is because of greed, , and giving up some means and not using them is the real inferiority.
These slave traders also had rich combat experience. When they saw the red fireball, they screamed immediately and rushed out in different directions, or lay on the ground and huddled in a ball, or huddled in various forms. behind obstacles.
The kind of fireball spell that wipes out half the team will only appear on those stupid new recruits, and the effect on veterans on the battlefield is average. Even if it is located at the landing point of the fireball, they can make reasonable use of the shield, armor or The rough skin and thick flesh of the body can withstand most of the fire impact, and very few people are actually killed by the fireball technique.
Fireball often plays a tactical role on the battlefield.
While everyone was avoiding the fireball spell, the first wave of hobgoblin giants who joined forces to fight landed safely on the deck. They did not launch an attack immediately, but jumped towards the taller buildings, allowing With his back supported, he was ready to face the opponent's crazy counterattack.
Before subsequent reinforcements arrive, they will face attacks from all directions alone.
Gavin took the lead and was among these hobgoblin giants, and he was still an unusually conspicuous presence. His size was not conspicuous, because he had used the Giant Transformation Technique on himself. He was now taller than most of the hobgoblin giants, but because He is the only one wearing armor, and his many methods prevent him from worrying about falling into the water and drowning. The defensive ability of the battle armor is too strong, which is perfect for this kind of group battle.
He neither activated his extraordinary body nor took out the death roar, but held two strange snake-shaped swords. Without asking, he knew that these two swords came from the six-armed snake demon and were the two most powerful swords in her hands. , both are +5 magic weapons.
One is called Abyss Flame Explosion, and the other is called Abyss Cold Explosion.
They are all equipped with sharpness properties. This property is equivalent to the sharpness technique, making the swords extremely sharp. Not only will the cuts be deeper, but if they hit vital joints such as the arms and neck, they will probably be cut off directly. Deals critical damage.
The effects of fire blast and cold blast are basically the same, but the properties are opposite. As long as the holder issues a command, they will be wrapped in fire and cold air that will not harm the user. After hitting the enemy, it will cause 1D6 additional damage. Once hit, The key point is that after a heavy hit, a big flame explosion or a big cold explosion will appear, causing huge 3D10 extra damage.
The power of the six-armed snake demon is also inseparable from the weapons she holds in her hands.
These two weapons are each worth at least 100,000 gold coins in the market. They are valuable but not marketable. Those warriors will rush to snatch them up. Even Gavin is greedy for them, so he will not hesitate to sell them. Just borrow it and return it to her when the six-armed snake demon is summoned to help. As for normal times, even without these two weapons, it will not have a great impact on her combat effectiveness.
But in Gavin's hands, these are two absolute killer weapons.
He also jumped up from the clipper, and it was a standard jump cut. When his body reached the highest point, the red copper dragon wings stretched out from behind with a roar, and opened in an arch shape. Although it was shrouded in In the forbidden air field, it cannot provide Gavin with flight assistance, but it can provide him with gliding power, helping him to provide stronger airborne stability and stability.
It only appeared for a few seconds, then retracted with a whoosh, and the steel boots stepped towards the tall and strong boatswain who was gathering the slave sailors.
The boatswain with a bare head and bare chest had a red face, and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol, but his hands were steady and not trembling at all. The weapons he held in his hands were not commonly used by pirates. Instead of a scimitar or something like that, it was a dwarf alchemical musket. Seeing Gavin step towards him, not only did he not panic at all, but there was an uncontrollable ferocity in the corner of his mouth. He strode back while holding the dwarf alchemy gun in his hand. The musket is raised, letting you taste the power of my new equipment.
This is a sharp long-range attack weapon that has only become popular in Inland Sea in the past two years. It is superior to ordinary crossbows in terms of power, range and ease of use. Even knight plate armor is as useless as paper when faced with special armor-piercing bullets. .
The only flaw is the high price. Whether it is this weapon or the special alchemy bullet, only those cunning dwarves can produce it. The power of gunpowder bullets produced by ordinary people will be greatly reduced.
boom!
The noise emitted by this dwarf alchemy gun is no less than the noise emitted by Gavin's death roar.
It was obvious that the alchemy bullets used in this dwarf alchemy gun followed the unique style of the dwarves as always, and the charge was sufficient. As for other details, they were not within the scope of their consideration.
This can be seen from the reaction of the bald bosun. A big man of 1.8 meters, holding a gun in both hands, his hands were still shaking wildly, and his body took three or four steps back. It also knocked away a slave-trading sailor who couldn't escape in time.
With such a close distance and his body in the air, Gavin had no way to avoid it. The only thing he could do was to activate his psychic powers and give himself an inert armor.
This is a first-level ability, very similar to the mage's mage armor. It inerts the elements and surrounds the body to form an inert element area. When any attack passes through them, it will be delayed to a certain extent. slow.
Since they have the same properties, they cannot be used at the same time. They can only extend the duration of the armor.
boom.
Gavin could taste the feeling of being sprayed from the front by the roar of death. Even though his body had doubled in size and eight times in weight, he still involuntarily sagged under the huge impact.
If we look at the physical lethality alone, the power of this dwarf alchemy gun is not much less than the roar of death. If it hits an ordinary person, even if he survives, a big hole will appear.
But unfortunately, it is not a magic weapon. Although it is powered by elements, the elemental energy is converted into kinetic energy and does not provide further magic element blessing for the bullet.
After being weakened by inert armor, it is impossible to break through the powerful damage reduction of combat armor purely by relying on kinetic energy.
"Hell, adamantine armor. His armor has powerful damage reduction. Ordinary weapons cannot break the defense. Mage, mage, use magic to kill him..."
This tall and strong sailor had extraordinary insight. When he saw that his dwarf alchemical musket could not break the defense, he didn't even draw his scimitar. He turned around and ran away without even trying. His small broken knife was even less likely to break the defense.
But just because he wanted to leave, it didn't mean Gavin would let him go. As soon as he took two steps, his head fell straight to the ground.
Gavin returned a bullet to him - a psychic bullet.
This second-level ability is basically useless in high-end battles like the six-armed snake demon. Even with a hundred and ten spells, it may not be able to control the opponent twice.
But in this kind of low-end battle situation, especially when the strength is overwhelming, it is really useful as much as it is useful.
One hit and one hit, even if they are not shocked, the sudden pain in the heart and head will cause their movements to be severely distorted. At this time, the Shexin Strange Sword also struck.
The split snake letter makes this strange-shaped weapon lack the piercing ability of an ordinary sword, but it is very useful when it comes to last-hitting or slashing.
The double-edged snake letter can easily hook the victim's joints, and it can be easily removed by just dragging it forward.
The tall and strong sailor who fell to the ground faced this fate. Gavin rushed past him without even bending his waist. He only had to drag the snake letter strange-shaped sword to the ground, and his head was cut off on the spot.
The shadow under Gavin was like a greedy monster, swallowing up his body and the dwarf alchemical musket in his hand.
He didn't want to let other sailors pick up this powerful shooting weapon and fire again.
"He killed the boatswain."
"The bosun is dead, run away."
"Quick, quick, join forces to kill him."
"The boatswain's weapon failed to break through the defense. The magic armor he wears has powerful defense."
The death of the tall and strong boatswain caused confusion among the slave-trading sailors around him. Some bravely rushed towards Gavin, while others fled in all directions.
