"Fireball?!"
"It's not the fireball technique. The fireball technique doesn't have such great impact power. It's the nine-ring spell meteor burst. Our quasi-legendary and legendary casters took action."
"This magic tree can withstand the bombardment of three nine-ring fire spells with the strongest attack power. Doesn't it mean that it has four to five hundred vitality?"
"Not to mention our rockets, even those rockets from city anti-ballista vehicles are just tickling it. When we rush to it, it's not even worthy of giving it a pedicure."
"One more round! One more round! Blast them to death, kill them all."
Seeing this scene, the morale of the Usmail city defenders was greatly boosted. They were also shocked by the strong vitality of these magic trees, which actually required three nine-ring spells to kill them.
Among the Usmail City defenders, there were as many as twelve quasi-legendary spellcasters, three in each group, divided into four groups.
Three demonic trees were overturned by the car on the spot, and one of them survived. He added three more top-notch fireballs before killing him.
These four groups of quasi-legendary spellcasters really wanted to repeat their old tricks and smash out all the remaining nine-ring spells and harvest a few more magic trees.
But the remaining demon trees had already received warnings from their companions before they died. The tentacles of the locked demon tree vines danced crazily, rolled up handy tools from the ground, and threw them out as cannonballs, whether they were withered vine monsters or , The withered needle monster was still the demon tree they hatched themselves. They were so anxious that they directly picked up the unripe demon tree fruit on their body and threw it out.
Even the demonic trees around it all switched their firepower and bombarded them indiscriminately, giving no chance for the combat team of quasi-legendary spellcasters to get close.
There was a group that got too close, which directly triggered another attack from the demon tree. The thorns and needles on its body actually shot out. They were said to be thorns and needles, but they were thicker and longer than those on the wall of Uxmail City. The crossbow arrows of the city defense ballistae are even more terrifying, flashing with a greasy black light. If they are hit by such thorn needles, it will not be as simple as being pierced. It is estimated that they will be paralyzed on the spot and unable to move.
Such thorns and needles are not shot out one by one, but in clusters, as many as a dozen, forming a dense array of arrows.
"Don't get too close, safety first, perform remote casting."
The four teams of quasi-legendary spellcasters almost made the same decision.
All magic with range, whether short-range, medium-range or long-range, their casting distance is not static, but is linked to their professional level. The higher the professional level, the farther the range, which means that they are With the increase in magic power concentration, the magic power depletion speed becomes relatively slow during the attack, and the target can naturally fly further.
The meteor bursts they cast had a maximum range of up to three hundred meters, far beyond the attack range of the magic trees and the thorns of the thorns.
The distance of more than three hundred meters made the magic of Meteor Explosion even more dazzling. The huge fireball streaked across the night with a long meteor tail and hit the tall magic tree.
boom! boom! boom!
Naturally, those demonic trees couldn't just watch the meteors and fireballs hit them, so they used all their methods.
Not only did the vine tentacles swing to the extreme, throwing out countless living interceptor shells, but the thorns and tree thorns on their bodies were fluttered outward regardless of the cost. Moreover, it was not just one wave, but divided into five or six waves, which intercepted the intercepted projectiles. The effect has reached its peak.
A large number of meteor fireballs had no chance of hitting their targets, and were smashed hundreds of meters away in the air.
Fortunately, these casters are all top-notch, and they are very skilled in controlling meteor explosions. There is no embarrassing scene where the first meteor fireball is detonated, and the subsequent meteor fireball is also exploded.
All meteors and fireballs maintain a safe explosion distance between them. Even if the previous one is detonated in advance and the next one flies past after the impact of the previous one, or flies directly side by side, it will not matter at all. The bombardment is not the same target.
Twelve meteor bursts and forty-eight meteor fireballs, only twelve actually hit the magic tree, less than 30%. Moreover, these twelve meteor fireballs were scattered on three magic trees, which could only cause a serious blow to it, but did not constitute a Not a fatal threat.
This is the reason why the legendary caster team previously took the risk to cast magic at close range. The farther the casting distance, the longer the magic takes to fly in the air, and the greater the possibility of being intercepted and destroyed.
"Everyone listens to the order, abandons the city wall, withdraws into the city in an orderly manner, organizes a second line of defense along the streets, resists the enemy's invasion, and covers the orderly evacuation of the residents in the city." Gavin decisively issued the retreat order.
The role of these teams of quasi-legendary spellcasters is not to inflict much damage on these magic trees, but to figure out their fighting methods.
The thorns and thorns of those magic trees were extremely lethal to the city defenders, because their height far exceeded the city wall. They were typically condescending, and the female wall could not provide the proper protection at all.
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"
"Don't panic, don't be confused. If you panic at this time, you will only die faster. Although these magic trees are unstoppable, their movement speed is too slow. We have enough time to retreat."
"Don't all take the stairs. Climb down the ropes one by one. The militiamen go first, followed by the ballista operators. The rangers go behind the palace. After getting off the city wall, don't run around. Stay where you are. After I get down, I will go with a small team. Sniper the enemy's vanguard for the unit."
"Even the ropes for retreat are ready. Could it be that the commander had anticipated that we wouldn't be able to hold on?"
"Does this need to be said? Didn't you see that the Brotherhood has been mobilizing the entire city to evacuate in the past few days? It was already planned if we can't hold on."
"Does the commander still have backup plans?"
"Definitely, don't forget, our lord is the chosen one of Ms. Strategy. His plans are always interlocking. Now that these monsters are here, don't even think about leaving."
"Ms. Strategy's planning and strategizing abilities, are they really that magical?"
"If you had heard the legendary story of our migration of 3,500 kilometers, you would not ask this question. Which war did our lord lead? In which the less defeated the more and the weak defeated the strong! What we relied on was The power of strategy and tactics has been the same before, and I believe it will be the same this time.”
"If I have the chance, I must listen to your legendary story of migrating 3,500 kilometers."
"It's simple. When the celebration banquet is held after the war, let our singing and dancing troupe from Battle Valley perform this musical. It will be guaranteed to be a feast for both hearing and vision."
"Your territory also has its own singing and dancing group?"
"Of course there is. There are so many new things in our territory that I can't finish them all in a short while. Now that our lord is here, you will definitely see them in the future."
"As you can tell, I'm already looking forward to it."
"Fire up! Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"
As the defenders of Uxmail City gradually withdrew, the bottles of cocoon piled on top and the grease used to modify arrows were all knocked over by the rangers, and the entire city wall was set alight with a fire. Effectively It slowed down the attack pace of ordinary monsters in the Blight Army, buying them more time to retreat.
For these defenders, the danger of these ordinary monsters is much greater than that of the magic tree. Especially when retreating and neglecting defense, even the attacks of those dead branch monsters are very fatal.
The battlefield is indeed the best place to make friendships. After fighting side by side, whether it is the citizens of Uxmail City, the reinforcements from the Battle Valley, or those lonely giant valley rangers, their relationship will never be the same. We have become very harmonious, and many of us are even like old friends we have known for many years.
After all, they helped each other on the battlefield, saved both sides' lives, and even helped each other block attacks.
The soldiers who can be brought to the desperate Eastern Territory by Gavin are all carefully selected. They definitely possess not only good combat power, but also good intelligence and absolute loyalty to Gavin. Before coming, they all received specialized training. train.
He is subtly promoting his territory and lords to these locals, expanding his influence here.
The Usmail city defenders who withdrew from the city wall did not collapse for thousands of miles, but broke into pieces. Relying on the complex streets of the city, they launched a sniper attack on the withered army that entered the city. The leader of the team was Those rangers.
They are professionals in guerrilla warfare. Although they are not in the forest now, but in the city, many of the principles are the same.
The entire city of Uxmail turned into a huge flesh and blood mill.
As it keeps turning, the withered army seems to be approaching step by step and gradually occupying the small city. In fact, a large number of their troops are being eaten away.
In a city full of buildings, those magic trees can greatly reduce the long-range support provided by one's own army. Large ones have big advantages, and small ones also have small advantages. It is easier to find cover.
The living cannonballs thrown by these magic trees often land on the roofs of those buildings instead of on the narrow streets. By the time those living cannonballs slowly crawl down, the enemies have either run far away or have laid traps waiting for them. .
By the time the main force of the Demonic Tree entered the center of Usmail City, it was already almost dawn.
"Lord Akabane, the time has come, let's take action." Gavin said to Witch Leatherman who was personally presiding over the circle.
"Okay!" The Akabane witch located at the center of the circular circle suddenly opened her eyes and said loudly, "Do it."
The eight extraordinary Leatherman witches surrounding the Akabane witch simultaneously bloomed with bright magic light in their hands. Powerful magics were condensing and forming in their hands. The lowest one was a six-ring spell, and the highest one was an eight-ring spell.
The target of these magics is clearly the central Akabane witch.
But when these magics hit the Akabane Witch, a wonderful scene happened. The magic was reversed. When it fell on the Akabane Witch, it had turned into the purest magic power again.
If you look closely, you will find that the magic power fluctuations on both the Akabane Witch and the Leatherman Witch surrounding her are surprisingly similar, as if they belong to the same person.
With the infusion of those magic powers, the aura of the Akabane Witch is rising steadily, and the dazzling magic aura blooms uncontrollably all over her body. The whole person cannot be looked directly at, and the magic fluctuations emanating from her body make people tremble, as if Like a vast ocean.
Even the divine incarnation of Ms. Strategy did not give Gavin this feeling. The last time he had this experience was when he stood in front of the divine incarnation of the forest goddess Melikai.
Gavin didn't know what the original caster level of the Red Feather Witch was, but her current caster level was as high as level 40.
This is the effect of the magic circle in front of you.
This magic circle is called the Circle Magic Circle. Currently, only the witches of the Kingdom of Leatherman and the red-robed mages of the Kingdom of Ser have mastered the use of this powerful magic circle. It is said that it is related to their secret magic-gathering tattoos and magic-gathering spirits. .
The essence of this magic circle is to concentrate the magical power of multiple people into one person, crazily improving her personal strength, and thus casting spells that far exceed her current professional level.
In addition to the host, this magic circle requires at least two specially trained assistants to perform it.
Hosts below extraordinary can accommodate up to five participants, while hosts above extraordinary can accommodate up to nine participants.
The power of the circular array is closely related to the strength of the participants. The stronger they are, the more powerful the spells cast in the process, and the more magic power is gathered.
Each spell level will be converted into a magic circle level of the circle. These magic circle levels can be controlled by the host, and there are four main ways to use them.
1. The host can exchange the level of the circle array into his own caster level on a one-to-one basis, up to a maximum of level 40.
2. The host can choose to add the level of the circle magic circle to the prepared spells to form powerful spells, maximum spell effects or spell upgrading magic expertise effects. Even if the host has not originally learned these metamagic expertise, She can still use it, and each level of the circle magic circle is exchanged for a spell level. The maximum spell casting level of the upgraded spell is not limited by the current spell casting level of the host, but the maximum spell level must not exceed level 20.
3. Improve the tests related to the level of the caster, such as dispel magic test, penetrating spell effect test, etc. Each level of the circle magic circle can be exchanged for a bonus.
4. All effects can last up to twenty-four hours. They will disappear regardless of whether they are used or not. If they are used, they will be consumed.
The only flaw of this magic circle that is not a flaw is that a large amount of precious casting materials need to be prepared to arrange the magic circle. At the same time, all spell casters need to meditate for an hour at the same time without being disturbed, so that the magic fluctuations of both sides converge and connect. Once they are If you interrupt, you have to start over.
This means that this magic circle cannot cope with emergencies and can only be used with premeditation.
The circle magic circle that Akabane Witch currently presides over can be regarded as the top one. Although there is a more abnormal version (gathering eight spell casters who can cast nine-ring spells as assistants), no one has ever cast it, even if it is Killing the God doesn't even require this level of use.
It is precisely because of this magic circle that those selfish red-robed mages devote a lot of energy to training magic apprentices.
Unlike Witch Leatherman, who only uses this magic circle when necessary, those extraordinary red-robed mages basically use this magic circle every day, squeezing their apprenticeship value to the extreme, allowing them to use and learn magic beyond the ranks.
After the Akabane Witch pushed her caster level to level 40, she still had the power of the circular magic circle left, so she invested all of it in the nine-ring magic summoning elemental team without hesitation.
The spell is upgraded, and the spell level is increased by two levels, becoming an eleventh level spell.
The spell becomes more powerful, and the spell level is increased by two levels again, becoming a thirteen-level spell.
The spell is extremely effective and becomes sixteen levels.
The spell is instantaneous and becomes twenty levels.
A huge magic halo appeared right in front of the Akabane Witch. Compared with the magic halo when the Cloud Giant summoned the Cloud Giant Elder, this one was twice as big, but it was not translucent air, but crimson flames. This meant Look, this elemental portal does not lead to the air elemental plane, but to the fire elemental plane.
Along with the violent fluctuations of the elemental portal, twelve super-large fire elements emerged from it dancing wildly. Like the air elements, the super-large high-level fire elements had a vague humanoid outline, and their bodies were made of It is composed of dancing flames, including the arms, which have vague outlines of five fingers, but are more like flames. The lower body does not have legs, but is a ball of dancing flames.
Following closely behind were six giant fire element elders.
This wasn't over yet. A behemoth whose arms were even bigger than the higher fire elements tore open the elemental portal and came in. It already had a complete humanoid appearance, not only having arms, but also legs. The outline of the face is also complete, but it is filled with endless flames.
The Lord of the Fire Element.
The twenty-ring summoned elemental team actually summoned even the top experts from the fire elemental plane. This was a terrifying existence with at least thirty hit dice.
Just one is enough to burn down a small city.
Faced with such a terrifying existence, ordinary weapons cannot pose much threat to it. The arrows were burned by the flames dancing wildly on it before they landed on it. If a non-magical sword fell on it, you should be worried. It wasn't it, but the swords that were strong enough to be melted and burned.
The blazing high temperature emanating from its body forced Gavin to retreat.
As for such a top fire element team, Gavin and the others now have not one, but ten, forming a huge ring, densely distributed throughout the entire city of Uxmail.
The other nine fire elemental teams did not have the pervert summoned by the Akabane Witch. There was no fire elemental king, and there were only two to four elemental elders, leading varying numbers of advanced fire elementals and ordinary fire elements.
Even so, they also have the advantage of rolling over those activated plants.
Just like the advantage those dark-activated plants have over living creatures.
