Chapter 834: The Art of Killing
I have to say that the magic defense ability of the void creatures is obviously above the physical defense ability.
The silver-level lightning spell smashed on them, basically only causing skin trauma, at most splitting their heads into pitch black and breaking a layer of skin, it could not cause fatal damage.
Even gold-level spells can only deal half the damage, and it takes several hits to kill a void creature.
However, after all, they couldn't stand the many spells, and the void creatures in the front row still began to have some additional casualties under the care of a large number of spells.
Especially after approaching the city wall, the minotaur archers on the city wall also began to wield their might, constantly shooting at the heads of the void creatures.
Of course, the icy cold light mirror in the sky, and the 20mm cannon of some necromantic airships, are also bombarding non-stop.
However, after seeing the powerful spells of the void creatures, they were all far away, for fear of being beaten down by people's spatial spells, which would be a lot of losses.
Finally, the void creatures finally stepped on the mines outside the city and approached the city walls.
At this time, two different styles of city wall defense also showed different styles.
The city that Alexander Sikoch was responsible for defending, the walls were fortified and covered with various weapons, and not only a large number of minotaurs were stationed, but also blessed wrestlers who were responsible for defending against those void creatures who climbed up.
In addition to the magic tower, there are also various cannons large and small behind them, and the firepower is concentrated outside the city wall, constantly exploding in the Void Creatures, killing and injuring a large number of dense Void Creatures.
But not far from them, the city where Princess Lionheart was responsible for defending was completely different.
After the void creatures rushed over, they found that there was no one stationed on the city wall, and the most important thing was that there were still dozens or even hundreds of meters of openings on the city wall.
Although a large number of artillery pieces were concentrated near the city walls, the void creatures could not find a single enemy in their sight.
In this case, the void creatures who did not have much intelligence did not hesitate to kill them.
Void creatures also have relatively low-level intelligence, and when no one is attacking, they all follow the main road and do not blindly attack the city walls.
In this case, a large number of void creatures were seen, driving into the city in a steady stream along dozens or hundreds of passages.
Then they will find that there are two forks in the road on the left and right in front of them, and there is still no enemy in sight.
So the void creatures divided into two ways, some to the left and some to the right.
Then they will find that there is another fork in the road ahead, and then these stupid fellows will divide their forces again.
As a result, after three or two divisions of troops, the originally dense void creatures immediately became very sparse, basically one head after another.
What they didn't notice was that the entrance they came in was wider, but the passage behind them was getting narrower.
Until later, the passage was only about 20 meters, and they could only barely pass through their huge bodies, and they could only pass one at a time.
Then at this time, the Minotaur shooters, who had already been lying in ambush on both sides, set out.
They tend to put void creatures within 50 meters, and then a dozen or twenty of them shoot together, all aiming at their big heads.
At such a close distance, a target larger than a basin, and a fighter who has undergone strict shooting training, can basically hit easily.
Although there are many heads of void creatures, there are rarely more than ten after all, and they are generally more than three and less than nine.
In this case, it is basically possible to knock out all the heads of the Void creatures with a single salvo, killing them on the spot.
Of course, there are occasional accidents, such as some void creatures will have a head growing on their backs, even if all the heads in front of him are broken, they will not die, but will angrily rush at the minotaur shooter, and if they can't hit anyone, they will tear down the wall.
And these walls are basically improvised and crude, although they can be considered sturdy enough to withstand the accidental collision of void creatures, but they definitely can't withstand the continuous volleys of their big tentacles.
Therefore, if these void creatures were to attack the city wall in a frenzy, it would be easy, and even the city wall would be defeated.
However, for this special situation, Princess Lionheart also has a plan.
If a salvo doesn't kill, the Minotaur who shoots the first shot will immediately flee on the walls, attracting the Void creatures to pursue them along the passage.
However, there will also be some minotaur archers hidden on the walls, and the void creatures below will be completely invisible.
Their weak intelligence makes them only stare at the minotaur who hurts them, and keep chasing.
Then, as soon as they run over, the hidden minotaur can shoot from behind and knock off the rest of his head.
After killing him completely, the oxen in charge of attracting him can come back and continue the ambush.
With this kind of small trick, you can kill all those strangely shaped cannon fodder-level void creatures, and basically there are very few times when you miss.
Even if something unexpected happens, the minotaurs still have magic scrolls in their hands to use, and even at critical moments, they can evacuate, and it's a big deal to come back.
This method is also only suitable for the situation where the void creatures are one after the other, and it is not easy to use if two or three rush side by side, so the lionheart princess will build so many forks in the road, and gradually reduce the width of the road, in order to create a chance for the minotaur shooter to kill with one hit.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with bullying stupid cannon fodder with this method, but it's a bit uneasy to use when you encounter those gold-level big guys.
Because more than half of the gold-level void creatures have long-range spell abilities, but they don't use them very often.
But if you hit him on the city wall, then he will never be polite to you, and will greet you with spells from afar.
Compared to the spells of the Void creatures, the bullets of the minotaurs are definitely not half as powerful.
So this kind of little trick is not necessarily going to work, at least after encountering those gold-level void creatures, the minotaur has the right to choose to hide, rather than blindly shooting to find death.
In fact, these gold-level void creatures generally have special care.
The watcher on the tower will mark them and warn them with a spell, and then a master will appear to intercept them.
But most of the time, it was up to tens of thousands of Ice Spirit Chill Mirrors to deal with them.
I have to say that the Ice Spirit Cold Light Mirror is really a good thing, with a range of hundreds of kilometers, it can be adjusted to ensure accuracy, and dozens of Ice Spirit Cold Light Mirrors can easily kill gold-level void creatures by focusing on a single target.
However, the other party didn't even have a chance to resist, because their spell attack range was far inferior to the Ice Spirit Cold Light Mirror.
In this case, the situation on Princess Lionheart's side becomes extremely harmonious and perfect.
First of all, a large number of dense Void creatures were artificially diverted, and at the same time, the gold-level Void creatures with a relatively high threat were marked and handed over to the Ice Spirit Cold Light Mirror to deal with.
Occasionally, gold-level void creatures that slipped through the net would send three times as many alchemy angels and other masters to encircle and annihilate them to ensure that there would be no casualties.
As for the remaining cannon fodder, they will be killed one by one by the minotaur shooters, and the whole process is so easy that there is basically no danger.
In contrast, Alexander's side also blocked the Void creatures, but there were many casualties.
It is impossible for the walls to completely protect the troops, as the Void creatures tend to have long tentacles and are not only good at climbing, but also capable of attacking people from great distances.
And the most terrifying thing is those gold-level void creatures, who can release spells thousands of meters away, and they can kill a lot of minotaurs on the city wall in one go.
Although Alexander also had a lot of Ice Spirit Mirrors and gold-level masters in his hands, their efficiency in killing these gold-level Void creatures was too low.
The reason is also very simple, the void creatures are all huddled together, and it is not very simple to pick out the gold level from them.
And even if it is selected, it can only be used to concentrate on the second kill, but it is not too dare to send a master to kill inside the enemy army, which is almost the same as looking for death.
But Princess Lionheart is different, the void creatures are diverted in large numbers, forming one by one like a river, and walking one by one, it is easy to pick out the gold-level void creatures among them, and then kill them.
Even if the Ice Spirit Cold Light Mirror is too busy, it can also let the masters of one side move from the city wall, and then unexpectedly lean over to carry out a sneak attack, which can often attack from both sides, and can occupy a numerical advantage, and the casualties are very small.
Therefore, in terms of killing efficiency and casualty ratio, Princess Lionheart is going to be completely superior to Alexander.
It is also worth mentioning that in terms of material loss, Princess Lionheart is far less than Alexander.
Because Princess Lionheart dealt with those cannon fodder, mainly relying on 30mm bullets to carry out accurate point fire.
Alexander, on the other hand, mainly pinned his hopes on a large number of artillery, hoping that these void creatures could be destroyed with cannon fire.
Then the cost of destroying the ten Void creatures with bullets and cannonballs is obviously very different.
Alexander is still relatively simple and crude, and although it works, it is not the best answer.
Princess Lionheart, on the other hand, has sublimated this kind of killing into an art, as if it were an assembly line slaughter, precise and efficient, with small casualties and much lower costs, and the performance can be called perfect.
Seeing the performance of the two major defense zones, even the most stupid person can distinguish the superior.
Although Alexander didn't say anything, Emperor Shi Tian could feel that he was very depressed through the faith line, and he actually lost to a little girl in military command, I have to say, it's a bit embarrassing!
