Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 256 The Grey Clown and the Son of Darkness

After leaving behind the necessary defenders, and asking Alduin and Nar to help take care of the village, Li Wei took about [-] men to attack together, because the inspector Yakon also said that the scale of the warring parties was not too large. Great, these troops are enough.

While casting summoning magic, Li Wei hurried on his way, and soon led his troops gradually approaching the battlefield.

When he had a clear look at the situation of the two warring parties, he finally understood why the inspector Yakong described the battle here as weird.

One of them is an army composed of dwarves. Just like most aborigines or god-chosen heroes, their army composition is relatively simple. They are all dwarf warriors and dwarf warriors fighting in the front, and a large number of dwarf crossbowmen are shooting at the rear. .

Occasionally there are some musketeers, advanced thunder gunners, and iron dragon hand artillery with a short range but can spray flames. Their long-range firepower can be said to be very fierce, that is, their attack speed is faster than that of high elf archers. Much worse.

At the end are some dwarf butchers with bare upper body, eye-catching yellow or red cockscomb heads, and shaved beards. They are in charge of protecting long-range troops and two ballistas.

There were even two small helicopters hanging high in the air, and they were constantly firing downwards.

It's just that these two helicopters are obviously cheap, because their ammunition is not bullets, but bursts of hot, high-temperature steam. Due to the short range, the helicopters need to constantly adjust their positions.

On the whole, the configuration is fairly perfect, but like most dwarven troops, there are no cavalry units, so they often can only defend passively.

Of course, in the face of their ferocious firepower, most enemies can only choose to attack, otherwise their losses will increase as time goes by.

Oh, no, there are less than ten blue sheep behind the dwarven butcher, being guarded by the same number of lightly armored dwarves.

This is a very special situation for dwarves who generally have heavy armor, and the defense of crossbowmen and musketeers is not low. They are probably cavalry units.

These blue sheep and another giant subterranean lizard are the only mounts that the dwarves can promote on a small scale.

No way, based on the dwarves' short legs, super high weight, heavy armor and weapons, ordinary mounts can't carry them, or they can't control them.

As for their enemies, they come from many different races, and the number is much larger.

There are a large number of cavemen, goblins, murlocs, and even a few underground trolls, but more of them are gray-skinned, tomahawk-wielding, eyeless humanoids.

Li Wei noticed that their stone axes blended perfectly into the night, and they were all some uncommon obsidian. In terms of sharpness alone, they must not be treated the same as ordinary stone axes.

And it seems that they still have reinforcements. Previously, the monitoring of Yakong found that there were two or three hundred people on each side of the war, but in such a short period of time, new muscular men continued to join the battle, and the scale was already inflated compared to the beginning. It has almost doubled, and this number is still increasing.

But Li Wei feels that this is not necessarily a bad thing to write, because these strong men are the stone-blind barbarians that Li Wei wanted to take the initiative to beat up.

It is said that they used to be savages from the surface world, and later they were transformed by an evil race called mind flayers. They abruptly became what they are now, and their personalities have also undergone great changes.

Now they, like the Beastmen, are an outright evil camp, and a considerable number of members like to eat human brains raw. It is said that this is a bad habit they learned from their former masters, the mind flayers.

Originally, he sent troops to reconnaissance. The stone-blind barbarian village closest to Blood Glory probably has nearly a thousand soldiers. If they can kill a large number of stone-blind barbarians in this battle, then when they attack the opponent's village next time, they will definitely change. It went more smoothly.

It's just that normally, although these races are all evil camps, it is almost impossible to mix and fight side by side. Trolls feed on goblins and the like. These foul-smelling guys are the same as ogres, and almost any race can Recipes that can be served with them.

But if they all have the same master, that is an exception.

At the back of them are some thin guys in gray coats, one person tall, and dressed as clowns. Their weapon is also a scepter with a doll headdress on top, and the overall shape looks very funny.

They all had extremely exaggerated smiles on their faces, but no sound came out. Their mouths were open so that everyone could clearly see that their mouths were as sharp as sharks, which seemed to indicate that they were actually Not easy to mess with.

At this moment, they are constantly releasing some magic towards the dwarves in front, and then these dwarves will laugh uncontrollably, not only laughing until tears flow out, but also seriously affecting their own attacks and defenses. , thus giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

Some guys even fell directly to the ground and kept patting the floor with their hands.

At this time, the clowns would come to him one by one, with their mouths wide open, as if they were sucking something invisible to the naked eye.

But despite this, the clowns only smiled at this time, and their eyes looked extremely cold.

On the contrary, those cave dwellers are all sad, or simply expressionless, looking haggard and empty as a whole.

It was the two sides that were fighting, one side was laughing, the other side was silent, no wonder the supervisor Yakong would say that the situation was very strange.

Li Wei saw the situation at a glance: "It's the second-level magic-Tasha's Laughter Technique, those guys are gray clowns who suck laughter, level-2 monsters!"

There are thousands of types of magic, and not all magic is used for attack or defense. This Tasha's Laughter Technique is a typical magic that cannot cause any damage.

But once hit, its effect may be much more practical than ordinary water arrows, ice blades and the like.

Of course, the versatility of this magic has certain limitations. Fools with low intelligence, or animal enemies, etc., may directly ignore this magic. As for constructs, undead creatures, etc., let alone up.

Only in this way, it is completely understandable why there is such a motley crew in front of them.

If this magic is cast by the gray clown, and the target is successfully fed with laughter, its charm attribute will be temporarily reduced. When it is reduced to a certain level, they will turn into that expressionless appearance, Started to work for the gray clown.

In this state, they are called "children of bleakness". Unless the gray clown who controls them is killed, they will always lose the ability to feel emotions.

As for spirit creatures, it can be understood as magical creatures born from concepts or nature. In theory, everything in the world can become spirits.

The water goblin embodies the beauty of nature, the dryad represents the heart of the forest, and the war dancer symbolizes the power and brutal nature of battle, etc.

Gray clowns are generally considered to be creatures born from laughter, but instead of bringing laughter to the world, they try to constantly capture the laughter of other creatures.

Compared with ordinary creatures, most of them have some special abilities, and they are more resistant to beating, and have certain resistance to physical and magical attacks.

The only thing that makes Li Wei a little puzzled is that under normal circumstances, the mages' Tasha Laughter Technique is only a dozen meters away, and the gray clowns need to hit the enemy with the clown scepter in their hands in order to accurately and smoothly cast this magic , because this is their innate magic, so it has certain restrictions.

But now they can perform it at a distance of more than ten meters. Is it because they are all advanced, or is there a hero unit among them, which endows them with special abilities?

But it doesn't matter, even if they strengthened the casting distance of this move, could it still be comparable to their own magic or Donna's Arrow Rain?
Except for Tasha's Laughter Technique, the Gray Clown is more resistant to beatings, and other aspects are not worth mentioning at all!
"Lisa Dilan, Simon, led the cavalry to go around from behind, trying to attack those gray clowns, but pay attention to keeping a distance and be careful of their magic."

"Luna, take the huntresses to check the situation in the rear. If the other party still has reinforcements, try to intercept them while ensuring your own safety. At the same time, get in touch with me through monitoring the archon. Well, I will let the celestial creatures You and the Shadow of Silence go to your aid."

"Donna, Cindy, Elegy, you lead the others to move forward."

After quickly issuing a series of orders, Li Wei himself led the druids transformed into Storm Crows into the sky, ready to release magic on the enemy, and Xiaotian naturally accompanied the legion archons.

For the dwarves, it is not easy to save this magic, because it is mainly based on intelligence, followed by level, and then magic resistance. This makes it difficult for dwarf warriors who are born with magic resistance to save.

But for Li Wei and Druids, they can basically be ignored, because the attributes of the gray clowns are very average. Although the class is not low, it is almost impossible to match their intelligence.

If someone really got hit by accident, besides being unlucky, there is only one possibility, that is, an elite or even a hero among the enemy made the move.

Li Wei turned his head and deliberately told the druids not to fly too high, just keep a distance of about [-] meters.

That's right, he was fishing. In this way, the magic of ordinary gray clowns can't work on them. Once it works, it must be its leader.

The subordinates quickly obeyed their orders, and at this time, the two sides that were in a state of war also spotted them one after another.

But their reactions were completely different. Although the gray clowns still had exaggerated smiles on their faces, they sent some members to fight.

It's just that the cavalry and archery troops led by Lisa Dilan and Julia have already attacked, throwing arrows while moving, which forces the gray clowns to constantly adjust the direction the troops are facing.

But it was obvious that they were not good at this, so in less than ten breaths, there was obvious confusion and dislocation in their team.

Cavemen, goblins, and stone-blind barbarians are all very different in race, height, class, etc., and they are not so easy to match.

Simon immediately led the cavalry to move faster, ready to look for opportunities to break through. The number of cavalry troops he led was relatively small, but the more this happened, the more he had to find opportunities and make the most of them.

Originally, he followed to protect Cindy to repay his kindness, but now that Cindy is getting stronger and stronger, he no longer needs to worry about it, so he should work hard to become stronger, so as not to be left behind by Cindy too much Far!

There was a commotion among the dwarves at first, and then a loud voice sounded slightly surprised: "Is it Brother Li Wei? It's me, Stump!"

Li Wei immediately raised his eyebrows. No wonder such a dwarf army suddenly appeared nearby. It turned out to be the tree stump who had just communicated with him yesterday.

Now it seems that he is doing well. Although the dwarf helicopter is only a tier 4 unit and does not fire normal bullets, the recruitment requirements are much higher than those of the same tier.

After all, they represent the technology of dwarves. Whether they are strong or not is another matter, but their rarity is not low.

Looking at the sound, Li Wei barely found a dwarf who was waving at him.

I have to admit that this guy, Stump, did a really good job of concealment. From the outside, he was almost indistinguishable from the other dwarf warriors around him.

But Li Wei knew that this was not to say that Shudun was low-key, but that he had to be so, because the Ratman who fought against his dwarf clan was the Eshin clan, and its biggest feature was that it was rich in various assassins.

It is said that these human-shaped rats had gone to the Cathaytian Dynasty and the island nation of Nippeng for advanced training, and learned a lot of techniques from the assassins and ninjas there.

He didn't know if this rumor was true or not, but the Ratmen of the Eixin clan were indeed very good at assassination, and some Ratmen would use Cathay's unique Daguan knife, and some had special smoke bombs, so there should still be rumors. somewhat based.

The reason why Stump pretended to be so ordinary may also be because he has experienced many assassinations, so he was a little scared.

He immediately responded with a smile: "Understood, let's work together to kill these enemies now!"

"Haha, okay, Brother Li Wei, I will also let you see my development during this period, Hans, it's time for activities!"

"Ah, I've been patient for a long time!"

Hearing what the tree stump said, another bearded dwarf who looked very ordinary also responded loudly, and then he took out a stove that was still burning with flames from nowhere, and slammed it with a hammer.

"Taste my forging fire!"

With the crisp impact sound, Li Wei found that the weapons of the dozens of dwarves in the front row were burning with flames, which not only made the enemies facing them who were afraid of the light and flames shrink back, but also their attack power increased a lot. growth of.

He was even more surprised immediately. This guy who looked like a hero unit turned out to be a rare rune blacksmith?

As we all know, dwarves can hardly use any magic because of their inherent magic resistance, even many subspecies.

This forced the Chaos Dwarves to kidnap the demons in an attempt to use their evil power, and forced the gray dwarves to turn their heads to study more difficult psychics and so on.

But after a long time of hard work, the dwarves still have some results, that is, using their hammers as a medium to engrave the power of magic into the rune engravings, and stimulate them when necessary, forming an effect similar to magic. Call it runic power, or simply runic magic.

The strange objects that Li Wei had obtained before, such as lucky runes and flame runes, etc., are also products of this situation.

Although compared with hundreds or thousands of spells, their number is much smaller, and the commonly used rune spells may be less than 10, but the advantage is that they can use special magic stoves, magic anvils, etc., Cast on multiple different allies or enemies at once.

It's a pity that even for dwarves, this technology cannot be popularized on a large scale, and almost only hero units can master it. This has led to not only God's Chosen Heroes' eagerness, but many aborigines will also regard rune blacksmiths as guests.

From this point of view, Shudun's development is really good, and he was able to recruit a rune blacksmith. He may have another adventure.

However, his own growth is more than one step better than his!

"Ice Storm!"

As he took the lead in taking action, the druids also released spells such as wind blades and thunder arrows, and smashed at the gray clowns.

Although he wanted to fish, but if he could kill all the gray clowns directly, then the battle would be over sooner!
Even if they dodged a little, there were still many enemies who were hit on the spot, but this showed the natural advantages of fine creatures.

Although there is only a thin layer of clown clothing without any protective effect, roughly speaking, their magic resistance is between 10 and 15 points, and their physical defense is even higher.

This makes the druids' attack effect very low, and the effect of Li Wei's ice storm is even worse, because the ice storm can cause one bludgeoning damage and one cold damage to the target, and the bludgeoning damage is regarded as It is a physical attack, and cold damage is a magical attack.

But the gray clowns have excellent defenses in both aspects, which just restrained Li Wei's magic.

Fortunately, Li Wei didn't expect to be able to deal with the opponent with a single magic. He can also kill all the miscellaneous soldiers first, and it doesn't matter to deal with these guys in the end.

So he asked the druids to change their goals together, kill those trolls first, and then slowly deal with them.

He didn't care about it, but the tree stump in the distance was shocked.

Although he had roughly guessed from the communication with each other and the information on the forum that the current brother Li Wei would be very strong, he never expected that he would be so strong!
This magic at least covered all enemies within two hundred square meters, which was something he had never personally seen before.

And the power is not low, many goblins and cavemen were instantly killed on the spot, and even if they survived by chance, some guys were directly covered with frost, and their speed was significantly reduced, obviously falling into a deceleration state.

With such great power, it's no wonder that dwarves have many regrets about not being able to use magic.

He still wanted to say something, but there was an existence on the other side who couldn't help it.

With a wild laugh full of malice, four or five ordinary-looking gray clowns stood up, raised the ridiculous clown's scepter, and pointed at the few druids who flew the lowest.

The two druids didn't shake their bodies and were directly immune to the magic, but the other three druids immediately fell down uncontrollably.

Even though they have turned into Storm Crows, their eyes are still full of smiles, and their whole bodies are constantly twitching, obviously they have been tricked.

The dozen or so stone-blind barbarians below immediately clenched their weapons and stared at them. Obviously, as soon as the opponent landed, they would directly slam their axes and dismember them on the spot.

But since he wanted to fish, how could Li Wei be so defenseless?

The archons of the legion who had been waiting for a long time swooped down and directly rescued the druids. Then Xiaoqi used a spider web technique to envelop the three gray clowns. Donna in the distance also yelled coquettishly, Arrow rain followed.

There is no doubt at all, a few gray clowns and their nearby servants were all killed in a flash. Obviously they are just some elite units, and there is no half a hero.

When they died, many surviving subjects around them paused in unison, and the dwarves who were fighting with them were keenly aware of the opportunity.

Shu stump let out a roar, and directly ordered a counterattack. The rune blacksmith also used his special skills again, temporarily strengthening the attacks of the frontline dwarves. Simon, who had been waiting for an opportunity, ordered a charge without hesitation.

Even if you get rid of the control of the gray clowns, they are also an evil camp, so kill them all and you're done!

Some reckless stone-blind barbarians immediately roared and launched a counterattack. These guys, who generally have a human appearance, are actually closer to Beastmen, or they can be classified as humanoid monsters. They have always maintained hatred for other humanoid intelligent creatures .

So even though their faces are full of bewilderment and they haven't fully recovered yet, they don't refuse fighting and killing at all.

On the contrary, some cunning goblins and some timid cavemen began to sneak away from the side. Apart from their strong reproductive ability, they, a weak race, can survive until now, and retreat immediately when the situation is not good. Another important reason.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Wei directly ordered the entire army to attack, because the battle in front of him was just the beginning.

When they were fighting, Luna had already opened up a new battlefield in another place with the huntresses and celestial creatures.

The village of the stone-blind barbarians that he was thinking about yesterday seems to have been completely taken over by the gray clowns, and they are all under control, becoming emotionless "sons of bleakness". Villages poured out to try to support the battle here.

After the battle in front of him is over, he will immediately go to support and take down the opponent's village.

Just occupied the Glory of Blood, and immediately went to the next village. According to the rules of the dark region, it has been able to slightly deter other surrounding forces.

After receiving the support from the surface world, it will be much more stable. With the guards of Alduin and Naar, he can almost withdraw from this place and return to the Beast Familiar Castle.

Of course, if during this period, there are any unsightly forces who dare to act wildly and become another record of Glory of Blood, then it will be even more secure!
