Chapter 738: Turning into the wind
Lu Xi was indeed a little surprised. A group of races that seem to be obscene and humble and have a good fight with goblins can still give birth to spellcasters of this grade - you know, although the Ice Ring is only a medium magic of the four rings, its lethality and attack range are quite considerable, and even the Scholarly Alliance is not available to anyone with formal mage qualifications.
However, no matter how surprising you may be, this guy is an enemy that must be eliminated. Lu Xi just used an arcane countercurrent to make this fat and actually very creative Kou Tao fishman die under the loss of control and backlash of his own magic.
(System: Kill Kou Tao Fishman King Xia Kui and gain 843 experience points.) Kill the enemy's commander and reward 3000 XP. The morale of the whole army of the Kou Tao Fishmen is -4. )
Oh yes? Unexpectedly, this fat guy who is amazing, and feels that just a pot of soup is enough for 100 people to eat, is actually the fishman king Xia Kui himself. Lu Xi stabbed the corpse of the fishman with his spear with great interest, and with a slight stroke, he cut off the opponent's head and gave it to Eslena who followed behind him. He doesn't have any bad taste for destroying corpses, but on the battlefield, he has to do everything.
The Drow Cold-Blooded Cavalry Lady expertly lifted the head of the Fish-Man King Xia Kui with her spear, held it high above her head, and also put a light spell with great eyesight. In this way, enemies within an estimated radius of a few hundred meters would be able to see their king's painful and twisted head.
"King Shakui...... He's dead? "Things happened so fast that the fish-man spellcasters and the "noble samurai" with complete civilization biological intelligence couldn't believe their eyes in the face of this sudden fact. Immediately fell into a deep stupor. A few seconds later, when they finally came to their senses. They looked at each other, and then quickly saw panic and trembling in each other's eyes. They were sure they weren't experiencing hallucinations. Immediately, he couldn't help but shudder and retreated backwards. At this time, intelligence will not be their life-saving tool, but will make these fish-people feel the shadow of death more directly and clearly.
The fish people made all sorts of noises mixed with screams in a language that Lu Xi didn't understand at all, and of course, it didn't matter if they didn't understand. As long as it is an animal, when it is running for its life, the meaning of the sound it makes should be similar. It's nothing more than "The king is dead!" "Everyone, run for your life!" "Help! Please spare me! "Mom!" and so on......
Lu Xi sighed and said that it was really good that this group of fish-headed people were all pig opponents. After all, there are only 1,000 people under his command, no matter how elite they are. Facing tens of thousands of troops who are enemies after all. With such a poor strength, even if the other party does not resist and stands and lets everyone kill, it is estimated that they will kill everyone to the point that even people and lizards are exhausted.
These spellcasters and fish-man "nobles" who are running around, but as long as there are so many people who are willing to stand up and encourage their subordinates to resist bravely, then Lu Xi really has to lead everyone away quickly.
It's a pity, though. The difficult situation of "bombing the camp" is a headache even if it is lost to a famous general whose command is already over 90, let alone these primitive fish-man races. And so. While the casters and tribal leaders who had a modicum of judgment and leadership were holding their heads together, the rest of the ordinary fishmen who were almost as intelligent as beasts also scattered. Unorganized "wild animals" have always behaved like this, even the seemingly ferocious and tough predators, no matter how fierce and ruthless they are when they are not stupid prey. Once frightened, they will still run away, no different from those herbivores.
"Leave them alone. Just point to those who seem to be smarter and stronger! Lu Xi shouted to the cavalry around him: "Our goal is not to grab people's heads, but to make this group of Kou Tao fishmen a completely unorganized rabble. ”
40,000 heads. 1,000 people can't be harvested. But if you just stare at the fishmen who seem to have a bit of brains and brute strength, then things are much simpler.
Subsequently. This pursuit battle lasted for more than an hour, and the tens of thousands of Kou Tao fish-man troops were completely dispersed under such a sudden rushing attack. They crawled all over the ground like worms in the meadow. At this time, even if someone on the other side resurrects the god of war, it will be impossible to reorganize this group of creatures that have degenerated from the "army" to reptiles.
The entire battle lasted no more than an hour, and the entire army of the Kou Tao Fishmen was scattered, and a large number of spellcasters and "nobles" from the main general down were killed on the spot. This is mainly because the dead King Xia Kui is very "wise" to believe that the most effective is when the power hits, so he formed the strongest fish-men with the wisdom into all the so-called "fish-man forbidden army", and the powerful fish-man spellcasters formed a so-called mage group, and walked by his side when marching.
In all fairness, there is nothing wrong with his thoughts, it can only be said that the sky is unwilling to be on his side. Before the main forces of these two fishmen could show any combat effectiveness, they suffered from the Pond Fish Attack and were defeated in an instant, saving a lot of time for the Drow cold-blooded cavalry by the way.
The mutilated limbs of the slain fish were scattered across the nearby wilderness, and the entire space exuded the smell of flesh and blood mixed with the smell of fish. In the coming year, the weeds and vines here will surely grow very well.
"Stop the pursuit! The whole army is in full force! Lu Xi opened his pocket watch, looked at the time, and gave the next order.
The only way to gather the 1,000 or so horsemen who were scattered in pursuit of the enemy was to use traditional methods such as horns or war drums. However, as soon as this kind of thing sounds, it is estimated that soon all the enemies in the entire fog line will be alarmed. Fortunately, there are also super casters like Hurricane. She just made an enchantment on the silver officer badge of each of the Drow Cavalry Captains that lasted for half a day, and the effect was voice transmission, with a travel range of more than two kilometers. With this thing, Lu Xi can quickly pass his orders to the ears of any cavalry commander without hindrance, which is very much like a war in the digital age.
For a top-level mage like Tempest. Such a simple enchantment was really not challenging and technical, and it wouldn't take her an hour to make 100 copies. The consumed blue has not returned quickly. As long as the brain hole is open enough and used well. The advantages that the superior spellcasters bring to the war are so obvious. If it were as simple as treating them as a humanoid self-propelled battery, it would be the incompetence of the commander.
The cold-blooded cavalry who had been ordered quickly gathered towards Lu Xi. During the period when everyone gathered, Lu Xi took the opportunity to receive the battlefield situation brought back by Anji: "Master, a group of gray dwarf cavalry is pulling along the fog line towards us, and the number is about 2,000 people. ”
"How long will it take to get to the battlefield?"
"If the whole army marches at full speed, there should be more than an hour and a half."
The dwarves, of course, have cavalry. The dwarves of the surface world are stationed near Fort all year round with a total number of about 5,000 so-called "Dwarven Iron Guards", and their mounts are not horses, but the giant bears of the Dhammoder Plateau that can fight ten at a glance. The dwarves not only domesticated the big creatures, which can be considered phantom beasts, but also frantically equipped them with thick armor. Once on the battlefield. It was really a group of domineering armored tanks with superior combat power, and they were absolutely invincible everywhere they went.
Of course, it is impossible for ordinary dwarven tribes to have the financial and material resources to build such cavalry. These endurance creatures mostly walk, but occasionally use mountain dwarf sheep and bantam horses as means of transportation.
The gray dwarves of the Dark Regions have degenerated into an evil camp, and naturally they can no longer domesticate their former livestock. It took them a long time to find a replacement—a thorny boar that inhabits some of the dungeons' relatively flat hills. It is a monster that looks similar to the wild boar in the forest, but with rougher skin and thicker flesh, a larger body, a more violent temper, and sharper fangs. Although it has the appearance of a herbivore. But they are omnivores, so hungry that they are even happy to hunt "big prey" such as lonely cavemen and kotao fishmen.
The Thorny Boar is not good at sprinting quickly, and the speed of running with all its strength will definitely be thrown by the speed dragon for several streets, and the dexterity and agility are far from being the latter's opponents. But. The weight bearing capacity and endurance of this animal are amazing, and it can march for a long time for several days and nights without special rest, and it will be ready to go into battle in no time.
It's a pity. Although all of them are endurors, the thorny boar is a very lazy animal. Unless there is an emergency (e.g. running for your life or hunting when you are hungry). Even the grey dwarf riders had a hard time getting the ugly, fat, and lazy mount under their crotch to run. Even if you have a horsewhip on your buttocks, it will tickle even more for thorny boars with thick skin and thick flesh.
"Hmm. Is it a rush march at full speed...... This possibility is basically non-existent. We still have time. Lu Xi touched his chin and thought, but he accidentally said it to himself.
"Hurried march? What rush march? The wind beside him stopped, and he couldn't help frowning.
"A group of grey dwarf cavalry. We're fighting so much here, the gray dwarves on the foggy water should be aware of it even if they are sluggish, and with a little more effort, it is estimated that the enemy on the north bank of Jingxi will hear the wind. But being aware and responding to it are two different things. However, 2,000 people should only be a tentative vanguard. Lu Xi pondered for a moment: "Since this is the case, they will definitely hesitate, and it is impossible for them to move too fast." ”
"What, are you going to rush up and eat two thousand more gray dwarves?" Hurricane smiled and asked, "A group of big barrels riding wild boars, even if they want to run, they will definitely not be faster than our big lizards." ”
"No kidding, the enemy hasn't arrived yet, so it's not wise to expand the scale of the battlefield like this. In addition, the two thousand boar-riding barrels would not be foolish enough to play cavalry hedge with the cold-blooded cavalry, they would become heavily armed heavy infantry as long as they jumped off the pigs, and it was even easier to form a tortoise formation. Unless we make another perfect sneak attack, these 1,000 riders will not only not be able to eat them, but will also break a row of front teeth. When the time comes, if you seduce the gray dwarf brigade in the Foggy Mountains, you will be completely free. ”
A perfect sneak attack is almost impossible to come up again. Since the enemy is a vanguard and outpost reconnaissance unit that has been lured by the shouts of killing, it must have raised its vigilance and caution to the extreme. On the other hand, the Blue Infantry who are fighting the Werewolf Minotaur Stormtroopers also need support, they may have the upper hand now, but they are outnumbered and can walk and run far less fast than their opponents. In the end, the enemy may be driven away, but the losses of the blue people will definitely be so great that Lu Xidu's heart aches.
"Let's just let those wild boars eat ash behind our butts." Lu Xi said: "If you really don't have enough fun, just take another Crypt Lord's head to play." ”
"It's a shame, I want to see what the big keg looks like when it charges with a boar in the crypt." Hurricane smiled and said, "That kind of picture, there is no way to make up for it at all." ”
"Don't worry, there will be such an opportunity in the future. I'm afraid you'll get tired of watching it by then. (To be continued......)
