This time the Cloud Giant listened to the advice and explained: "Instead of letting them land and attack, we use the Charming Song and Charming Dance to create chaos for them outside the range."
"There is a kind of winged kobold among the kobolds, and the blasphemer also controls the dragon-shaped kobolds that can grow dragon wings. Only sending the harpy to attack is too weak and can be easily defeated by each one."
"So, the other party has dug a trap in the army waiting for us." The cloud giant completely put away his contempt for the conqueror.
The opponent is really as cunning and insidious as the legend says. Whether they are hiding in a huddled position among the conqueror's army or taking risks alone, they are all silently hinting at their lack of air force.
But if they really believe it, and a group of flying monsters emerge from those car formations, even a group of weak Oeds will catch them off guard, and combined with their powerful ground firepower, will cause them a lot of casualties. , are not impossible.
Cloud Giant no longer had the lofty ambitions he had when he just set out. Even if the opponent didn't come up with such an unexpected large-scale spell, even if there really wasn't any air force, just relying on the car formation on the ground, there wouldn't be what he expected. The situation of driving away the herd.
The opponent's car formation is not one, but five.
Even if they bite one of them, there will be a second, third, fourth, and fifth waiting for them!
Although their current model makes it impossible for them to support each other, if they are scattered, the impact on others will be relatively small.
If there really is a fight, except for those orc bows and spears that can attack them on the ground, other attack methods must withstand the bombardment of ballistae, skeleton cannons, and tree men's stones, and get close enough to a certain extent. The level is enough.
The connected trucks and countless erected shields are all difficult to crack, unless they also have powerful means that can carry out large-scale attacks like their opponents.
Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many means at their disposal.
Instead of doing this, it is better to target the conqueror and take off all the equipment on him, especially the high-level artifact.
"No, there is something wrong with this cloud." The cloud giant suddenly raised his head and looked at the cloud above his head that was falling towards them. Its target was none other than the black ball shrouded in clouds.
As if he realized that he had been discovered, two clouds that looked like eyes appeared out of thin air, and suddenly accelerated downwards. Along with them, there were huge thunders and violent storms.
"This is the activated cloud, no, this is the storm body, this is the nine-ring spell revenge storm, it wants to rescue the blasphemer." Dilila's expression changed drastically and said, "Quick, quick, quick, everyone Get away, that blasphemer has terrifying single-target combat capabilities, if you meet him in the storm, he will be directly killed by him."
"Come in and entangle him. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy." The cloud giant turned a deaf ear to the drow priestess's reminder and issued the completely opposite order.
He is now determined to get the high-level artifact, and is prepared to pay a certain amount of casualties to hold him back.
The Revenge Storm can rage for up to a minute, just wait until it dissipates automatically.
The power of this nine-ring spell is aimed at ordinary people. It is powerless against these flying cavalry. Most of them can withstand a lightning strike without dying.
"Roar!"
The fear of the cloud giants overwhelmed the fear of Gavin. They roared helplessly and rushed towards the vengeful storm that covered the sky and the earth.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
This is the trembling of the orc's great bow.
Woo! Well! Well!
This is the roar of the sonic attack of the horn-winged monsters and the earth crystal people.
With their vision affected, they could only bombard indiscriminately, trying to attack the enemies hidden in the storm of revenge.
Click! Click! Click!
Huge bolts of lightning responded to them.
They didn't know whether they had hit the enemy, but the enemy's lightning strikes were accurate. From time to time, a flying dragon would spin and fall to the ground, including the person and the mount. The dragon's wings were probably injured.
"The wind is coming." The cloud giant did not wait and started doing what he was best at. A large number of air elements gathered around him, forming a huge tornado, sweeping towards the revenge storm, trying to blow away this spell. open.
There is more than one way to restrain any spell, it depends on whether you can find the corresponding method.
This use of wind blowing is an unconventional method of breaking the revenge storm. If used properly, it can often bring devastating blows to the enemy - blowing the revenge storm in the direction of the enemy's main force.
The Cloud Giant's main purpose was to expose the area covered by the Vengeance Storm to prevent the blasphemer from taking the opportunity to escape.
It’s just that the methods that worked well in the past didn’t work this time.
Revenge Storm was only blown a few dozen meters away and stopped moving. On the contrary, its own violent storm and tornado began to merge with each other, as if it wanted to seize control from the Cloud Giant.
This revenge storm is not an ordinary nine-ring spell, but has its own consciousness and will.
Ahhhhhh...
Screams came one after another from the revenge storm.
From time to time, flying dragons or horn-winged monsters would spin and fall out of it. The location of their injuries was very similar. They were all on the left or right side, close to the keel of the shoulder blade. This is the root of the human thigh. Once it is injured and fractured, , and immediately became unable to walk, let alone fly.
Only the wounds are different.
Some of them were blasted by hammers, and you could tell at a glance that they were the work of the War Predator.
Some had huge, explosive wounds, which were caused by forceful bombardment.
Some of them had long arrows inserted that were one-third of the way in. The wounds were as black as ink, indicating that they contained extremely poisonous substances that directly hit the heart.
The speed of falling was too fast, not one in a round, but several in a round.
This means that the opponent can attack at the same time, and all the flying cavalry cannot survive even one round in front of the opponent. When the opponent comes to the door, they will be hit hard and fall.
At this rate, at least twenty to thirty flying cavalry would have to be lost in one minute.
The violent storm formed by the Revenge Storm seems to have no impact on the opponent's field of vision, and can accurately target the flying cavalry enveloped in it.
"Use the most powerful group attack spell to blast it!" Cloud Giant was a little anxious. These flying units are his old team that he has accumulated for many years, especially the orc flying dragon knights. If he wants to gather so many flying dragons, he is not alone. What the Thunder Peak Mountain Range can do is to search for flying dragons in dozens of mountains.
These flying dragons are obviously the priority targets of the opponent. The ones that are still in the air are sparse and only half of what they were when they first set off.
He took the lead in picking out a blue one from the many gems on his body, crushed it directly, and then scattered it casually, forming a perfect giant circle in the air.
This giant circle is like a standing whirlpool, but it is not water that is swirling inside, but wind.
The moment the giant circle was formed, funnel-shaped spiral airflow clouds with vague faces emerged from it.
This is not a ball of wind, nor a living thing, but an existence between the two - the activated element. This is the activated air element.
Large air elementals, they are only a little over four meters tall.
But they couldn't stand the large number, so twelve of them came out at once.
The spell that the Cloud Giant just cast was called Elemental Team, a nine-ring spell, also known as the nine-ring elemental summoning spell.
The names of various elements are actually given to them by creatures in the material plane, because they only show their material form when they are summoned and concentrated by spells, especially in the material plane. They are a bodyless force in the native plane. The force of life.
These elemental spirits are like beasts in the material plane. They have no culture or sociality, and only very little intelligence. Most of them are absolutely neutral, and will neither be biased towards good nor evil, at least until the evil force is infected. , as long as they are not provoked, they generally will not attack because they do not need to breathe, eat, and sleep.
"Tear it apart!" The cloud giant pointed at the gem scepter in his hand, and twelve of them simultaneously turned into howling winds and swept towards the revenge storm.
Compared with the violent wind controlled by the cloud giant before, the whirlwind formed by the twelve air elements was much smaller, but the degree of cohesion was not the same. It directly opened twelve gaps in the revenge storm, allowing everyone to peek inside. .
Just a glimpse of it makes people even more shocked.
Not only was he shocked by the terrifying speed of the opponent's mount, but he was also shocked by the opponent's current appearance. The opponent now had four arms and three weapons.
One is the high-level artifact War Reaver that I saw before, but it is one size larger.
One is a weird crystal weapon that looks like a dwarf hand cannon.
One handle is a large longbow that looks like a python, can automatically condense arrows, and emits black light.
This would explain why the damage he caused was so varied.
"Meteor burst!"
On the other side, the drow priestess also prepared her own attack spells.
Four huge fireballs with a diameter of more than half a meter successfully condensed around her and slowly rotated. The hot temperature emanating from them made the clouds around the barbecue creak. Everyone could not help but stay away from her, as if they were afraid of these. The fireball exploded in the next second, engulfing everything around it.
With her finger, four huge fireballs pulled their gorgeous tails and rushed towards the revenge storm. If viewed from the ground, they looked like meteors streaking across the sky. This is the origin of the first half of the name of this spell.
Then in the next second, they told the world the reason for the second half of its name. These fireballs exploded, forming a huge wave of fire that swept through every inch of the surrounding space. Each fireball enveloped a ball with a diameter of nearly 25 meters. Rice circle.
The four fireballs exploded at just the right position to connect perfectly, enough to sweep across most of the area covered by the Revenge Storm.
This nine-level magician is nicknamed Lianzhu Fireball. It is known as the most powerful group attack spell. Like just now, large-scale bombing is not its strongest use.
The most correct way to open it is to aim at the ground and throw it out in series from hundreds of meters in the air, like meteors falling from the sky, four of them falling at once.
Any target that is directly hit will suffer 2D6 knocking damage, followed by 6D6 fire damage, and each time it is hit by a fireball, the fire damage will increase by 2D6 damage dice, that is, the second fireball is 8D6. The third one is 10D6, and the fourth one is 12D6.
Basically, before the third fireball hit, everyone below Extraordinary, including those barbarians and warriors, probably had to lie down. When the fourth fireball hit, most of the crispy professionals below Legend also lay down.
What Dilila is using now is not the high-intensity damage of this spell, but its controllable explosiveness and powerful fire impact, using the blazing high temperature to neutralize the rich water vapor of the revenge storm, allowing the visibility here to be restored.
This spell lived up to expectations. It not only dispersed most of the violent storm of the revenge storm, but even interrupted the blasphemous pace of the blasphemer. He didn't care about this kind of indiscriminate bombing, but Ban Yueju couldn't bear it, but such a large area It is difficult to completely avoid the covering group attack spell, and can only form an emerald green light shield to block the direction of the flame shock wave.
Most of the flame shock wave was blocked, and Gavin and his horses were thrown away.
At the same time, the user of the Revenge Storm that enveloped this place also revealed his true face. It was a Revenge Storm that had shrunk nearly ten times. Just like the previous air element, this was not a living thing, nor was it simply a cloud of thunder and lightning. , but a unique elemental creature with high intelligence.
"Revenge, let's go." Seeing that his cover tactic was forced, Gavin turned around and left without hesitation.
He was just able to wreak havoc in the enemy's encirclement, which was based on a series of powerful abilities.
Now that all three of his axes have been used up, he can only run away.
"Okay!" The revenge storm responded, suddenly turning into a huge funnel-shaped whirlwind, and rolled towards the wind elements rushing in front of them.
The wind elements were obviously aware of the danger and turned around to run away.
However, their speed was far beyond that of the whirlwind formed by the revenge storm. They were directly involved in it. With a burst of terrifying tearing, the four wind elements involved did not even hum. They were torn into pieces on the spot. The fragments, not even the dregs were left, directly became part of the revenge storm.
I don't know if it was Gavin's misunderstanding, but he obviously heard a belching sound like the whistling of the wind, and couldn't help but open its property panel.
Sure enough, Revenge Storm's hit die increased by one, and the elemental essence of these wind elements was absorbed by it and became part of its body.
