Chapter 278: Shotguns for Cannons
The elven archery is unparalleled in the world, and a good elven archer can accurately hit a target two hundred meters away in the tree.
No matter how good an elven shooter is, he is useless in front of the elf devourer.
Because its frantic tentacles attack a range of up to a thousand meters.
Dodging or something is a joke, except for the legendary masters, when a dozen huge tentacles are surrounded and suppressed from various angles at a high speed of tens of meters per second, there are definitely very few existences that can escape from strangulation.
On the other hand, if it can't inflict a physical attack beyond its ability to recover. Edia is invincible!
Corellon arrived first with the avatar of the gods, and even those as strong as him changed from a sword to a bow and arrow. I don't know how many tens of thousands of years. Hit once every century.
Both sides are too old rivals.
If you can't deal enough physical damage, the elven gods are meaningless to go to war, and if you attack rashly and accidentally get eaten by one or two god incarnations, it may also cause Etia to advance. You must know that the original elven devourer was not so huge, and after eating several incarnations of gods, including Lebirath, the god of fate and history of the elves, and Railifin, the god of the forest of the elves, Edia's strength increased significantly.
The Devourer of Elves has broken into an Elven settlement.
Although Corellon repeatedly ordered him to evacuate, there were still elves who were not afraid of death who chose to defend their homes and deliver food.
Watching this super monster wreak havoc across the elven territory, the elven gods really had their teeth crushed.
At this time, the army of winged elves arrived.
Seeing the arrival of this army of more than 70,000 winged elves, even the most critical elves of the non-pure-blood elven race could not pick out half a thorn. Because this is Adelee's full attack exactly as Corellon demands, and she really poured out her nest.
Everyone knows that this is the limit of the Winged Elves, and all that is left in the Sky City is the old man over 500 years old and the teenagers and young children under the age of 60. (Winged Elves are about 110 years old and adults)
The equipment of the winged elves is also incomprehensible to the elven gods.
With the exception of the most elite Janissaries and the original Ruins Guards, all of the Winged Elves have been replaced with mechanical crossbows.
At first glance, it is a typical dwarven product, with a rough skeleton and a rugged design that is very durable. The accuracy may decrease over time, but there will never be any failure until it is completely scrapped.
Train a qualified archer. It can take as little as three months.
But it only takes three days to train a qualified crossbowman at the earliest.
Moreover, the absolute range of a crossbow arrow drawn with a winch is longer than that of a simple bow and arrow, which is definitely a boon for a young winged elf warrior who is completely unqualified in archery.
The only problem is that the Winged Elves don't do anything in the tradition of the Elves.
The elves hate everything unnatural. Unconventional things, especially mechanical.
Adellé flapped her brilliant multicolored wings and flew over, apologizing solemnly, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Larisin, I know this is not in line with tradition. But the time you've asked for is too short for the Winged Elves to train enough shooters in such a short period of time. It just so happened that Raven Yunfield was going to pay us for the removal of the Nelas site, so I accepted his offer. Bow and crossbow arrows are used instead of shipping costs. ”
Corellon frowned, pointed to the dozens of golems that had been airlifted by the Wing Elves and asked, "What about ...... What about these big guys? ”
Raven's spiritual connection was also accessed at this time, and in the void, Raven's illusion stood in the air and made an impeccable elven salute: "Oh, respected Your Majesty the God King of Corellon, this is me, as a half-elf, in order to help Your Majesty share your worries. Specially sent to help clean up this monster. These golems are very effective against Edia. ”
Corellon instinctively disliked it.
Cheffras, the god of hatred of the elves, said coldly, "The elves don't need the help of these unnatural metal monsters!" ”
"That'...... Do you mean, Honorable God, you have a better way to stop Etia from attacking the Isle of Eternal Gathering? It's less than 200 kilometers away from Yongju Island. Raven reminded the elven gods in all seriousness.
Dragons have reverse scales. The elven gods also have a bottom line that cannot be compromised.
Compared to the illusory tradition, in the end, the idea that he could not bear to let the Holy Land of the Sun Elves be destroyed prevailed.
"Raven, get your toys on them." Holding down his partner, this time it was very unexpected, and it was Angelis, the queen of the elves, who made the decision.
"Thank you God for your support, your wisdom will definitely reduce the loss of the elves."
With a flick of his hand, Raven's legendary Adamantite Golem and Iron Golem Legion were parachuted in by the Winged Elves. Since there have been no drills, the airborne landing of more than a kilometer is a bit unreliable.
At least four Iron Golems missed their targets and were thrown to the ground by the Winged Elves from a height of nearly three thousand meters. Broken into scrap metal.
Luckily, two of the most crucial Legendary Adamantite Golems and more than thirty Iron Golems were successfully dropped onto Edia's giant mushroom body. Etiah's thick yet elastic body is the best cushion for landing.
The golem regained its balance and immediately began to wreak havoc.
The thick oily skin on top of the Etia mushroom is tough, and this perverted defense is a nightmare for elves. Unfortunately, this could not stop the blade that had been involved in a small amount of pure gold. The blade of the massive double-edged broadsword sliced through the skin of Etiah's body with ease.
A stream of viscous transparent bodily fluids splattered out in an instant. Brainlessly poured over the golems' heads and bodies. The obviously corrosive bodily fluids poured on, and suddenly there was a terrifying squeak.
If it was an ordinary creature that was poured on, I am afraid that it would have been convulsed in pain at this moment, rolling on the ground in pain, and even falling down.
Unfortunately, the golem doesn't feel the touch.
They still attack at their maximum frequency. Cause destruction and wounds on the head of Eitiah.
Soon, a huge cross-shaped wound was torn out of Eitya's brain.
1,500 meters away from Ethia, high in the upwind direction, seven huge phalanxes of 10,000 people spread out in three dimensions at an angle perpendicular to the ground, and the leading winged elf Roland raised his longbow and shouted: "The wind is seven degrees west-northwest!" Thirty-five degrees in elevation, shoot with all your might! ”
His voice was channelled through Adri's oracle into the spirit of every warrior throughout the Wing Elf force.
Roland shot an arrow first, the crimson arrow was dazzling, accurately drew a beautiful parabola in the sky, and fell to the wound that Ethea had been opened, exploding a huge puff of red smoke, which was clearly visible for several kilometers - this was the lead shot!
In the next moment, 70,000 winged elf archers and crossbowmen fired a salvo every 10,000 people every second.
"Boom—"
With an almost uniform sound of bow and crossbow firing, ten thousand crossbow arrows crossed the border like locusts, overwhelmingly shooting towards the wounds of the Elven Devourer.
There were so many arrows that some of them had already struck each other in the air, making a crackling sound like fried beans.
The scene was spectacular, and it was perhaps the largest long-range shooting unit in the world. On flat ground, such a large number of marksmen is a complete waste, and there is simply no such a large ranged force with the range and space to deploy.
But in the air, in the face of such a huge target, everything becomes possible.
When those arrows were fired, Corellon noticed that even the longbow-wielding Winged Elf Praetorian Army was not the traditional Elven arrows. Whether it is an arrow or a crossbow arrow, the enchanted runes on the shaft of the arrow are all indicating that these are typical alchemical products.
The arrow fell, and the Qi Brush stuck on top of Etheya, turning it into a huge mountain of arrows. These arrows, which were not even as hairy as a devourer of elves, certainly did not deal any substantial damage.
However, after ten seconds, when the delayed burst rune attached to the arrow was activated, it was completely different.
Each time-delay burst arrow was insignificant compared to the Devourer's massive body, and when a burst arrow exploded, Etia could have ignored the damage at all.
Nearly 70,000 bursting arrows exploded almost simultaneously?
The answer is that the sky is falling apart!
Although there were quite a few misses, the Wing Elf's shooting talent was still good, and most of them hit Edia's mushroom-top-shaped body. The earth-shattering explosion caused the monster Etia the Spirit Devourer to let out a painful howl for the first time ever.
The strange sound that resembled the mournful cry of a sheep sounded strange.
But the result undoubtedly exhilarated the entire elven race.
The devastation caused by the explosion caused a nodulous protrusion outside the core area of the explosion, and then it exploded, and the foul-smelling juice exploded all over the ground, and the indescribable stench could be clearly smelled even in the upwind direction. It was so corrosive that there was no trace of green to be found within a kilometer radius of Etiah's feet, and there was a creaking sound of corroded wood and stones.
When the smoke and dust from the explosion dispersed, anyone could clearly see that Eitia's huge mushroom top body was bitten by a giant canine, and the huge gap was full of scorch marks.
There's a play!
Maybe with these alchemy blasting arrows, this monster that has plagued the elves for tens of thousands of years can be destroyed? The thought crossed the mind of almost every elven warrior.
"The second wave attack begins!" Roland quickly calculated the angle and led the shot again.
Eitiyah seems to have discovered that these little elves that it regarded as food also have the ability to hurt it, but this time the effect is not so good.
More than a thousand tentacles, large and small, are raised high and swing to form a moving fence. Although it could not achieve perfect defense, at least sixty percent of the burst arrows were blocked, and countless tentacles were blown off.
Obviously, the effect is not as good as the first time, and overall it is not bad.
In the third round, due to the explosion of a large number of tentacles, the effect was better than the second round. The explosion caused Eithia to let out another terrible howl.
When it seemed that the arrows alone could torture Etia to death—there were no arrows! (To be continued.) )
