Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 313 Ambush and Death Roller
Li Wei's plan was implemented very smoothly. He received the information the next day that the drow army had already been dispatched, and the total number exceeded [-].

It seems that the opponent is really cautious this time, using all his strength like a lion fighting a rabbit, determined to defeat Pamela's Moon Singer, the small village they occupy, and any possible reinforcements in one fell swoop .

Even looking at its banner, this is still a coalition army. The five big families in the city of Ostak and more than a dozen small families, ranging from dozens to hundreds, all dispatched a certain number of troops, and each led their own troops. A certain number of alien servants.

However, it can also be seen that they did suffer heavy losses in the previous battle.

Otherwise, with the temperament of the drows, they would never share the credits they can win with other drows, because all drows are dangerous competitors.

And different from before, the Zall who came this time is obviously more elite.

In addition to the units that Li Wei and the others have encountered before, there are also many spider-like drows wearing battle armor and holding big swords, drow cavalry riding underground monitor lizards or giant spiders, and dozens of manticores. , and some crypt magic scorpions that are more than one meter high and five or six meters long.

Even if they didn't come out in full force, they definitely used most of their strength.

But in the same way, if Li Wei and the others can completely eat this army this time, the next attack on Ostak City will be much smoother.

Li Wei immediately sent information to all friendly troops, telling everyone to take their positions according to the plan discussed yesterday, and prepare to deal with the enemy.

Now that these drows have come out, don't even think about going back alive!
Half an hour later, the drow army crossed a relatively narrow passage and continued to approach the village where Pamela was located according to the information.

But at this moment, the roof of the cave suddenly lit up, and a raging flame was burning on a large number of sharp cone-like stalactites, and then they broke away from the roof of the cave one by one, and fell straight down.

The chief drow mage of a certain family immediately screamed: "Damn it, it's the stone fire and rockfall spells, those nasty shield dwarves!"

Except for the chaotic dwarves, ordinary dwarves cannot use magic, but they also have a very small number of priests, who can use the magic bestowed by their gods to achieve magic-like effects, such as now.

At the same time, accompanied by a violent shaking, more hard rocks turned into sand and smashed down. The damage caused was actually not high, but it had a great impact on units such as crossbowmen, priests or mages. big.

At this time, the caves they came in suddenly softened like mud, and they were completely stuck in the blink of an eye. Then, with the brilliance of magic, they turned into solid rocks again.

Another drow mage couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, it's turning stones into mud and mud into stones, and there are more than dwarves on the other side. This is a conspiracy, a trap!"

It's a pity that they woke up too late. The mages who finished casting these magics did not delay at all, and slipped away immediately according to the previous plan.

And with a soft shout, nearly a thousand arrows flew out from behind several hills, instantly killing most of the drow spider masters, a small number of drow priests and mages on the spot.

As a result, countless little spiders emerged from their bodies, and hundreds of giant spiders in front also fell into a state of madness. They began to attack all surrounding creatures indiscriminately.

Coupled with the blocked back road and the turmoil caused by the magic overhead, the entire drow army fell into a brief state of chaos for a while.

At this time, with the slight vibration of the ground, the shield dwarves, dwarves, Moon Singer, Suifeng, Sun Knight, Caijin, etc. who had already ambushed in the distance, and most importantly, Li Wei's party, appeared one after another.

Now that the shield dwarves and the mages of the Moonsinger have teamed up and successfully cut off the drow's retreat, they can finally launch a formal attack!

As they appeared, arrows, bullets, magic, and even ballistas, trebuchets, and cannons all launched fierce attacks, killing or seriously injuring many drows on the spot.

Although the attack speed of the bulky big guys such as the cannon is very slow, the dwarves also cleverly chose the wave-band attack, resulting in a new attack every few seconds, which made the drow mages feel so uncomfortable that they dared not grow up. Time stands still in one place.

In this way, they can only cast some low-level magic, and the threat to the coalition forces is greatly reduced.

At the same time, the mages and shield dwarf priests who had almost retreated to a safe distance had almost never heard of magic such as falling rocks and turning stones into mud.

Not to kill the enemy, but more to continue to disrupt the enemy's morale and formation.

Seeing this scene, no matter how stupid Drow was, he understood that this must be a deliberate conspiracy.

Even the opponent may not only want to defeat them, but more likely want their Ostark City, otherwise there is no need for them to use such a large force!

Almost at the same time, at least hundreds of drow cast extremely vicious curses on them, and then fought back one after another.

Because they all know that even if they can survive this battle, if the enemy captures the city of Ostark and treats the loser with the cruel method of the spider queen Rose, they will definitely suffer worse than death. more painful torture.

So now they only have two choices, either defeat each other, or simply die here, there is no retreat at all!

For a while, the drows used all kinds of magic and magic, and almost immediately became extremely anxious almost at the beginning of the battle. It was clearly a dark area, but it was reflected brighter than the surface world.

But Li Wei and the others did not have any surprises or surprises. They just started to move towards the designated area according to the previously deduced situation, and attacked the enemies belonging to their own area.

Yes, after many times of deduction, Li Wei divided each of them into a responsible area, first to solve their own enemies, and then to help others.

There are certainly a lot of drows, but for the smooth success of this battle, Li Wei also mobilized almost all the forces that can be mobilized, so they are more than one step stronger than the opponent in terms of total strength.

And the reason why they can complete the plan so smoothly is also thanks to those shield dwarves.

Among them are some priests and special priests who are not low-level, and they have a variety of powers related to rocks. They are not magic, but under the power of their gods, the effect they exert is no different from magic.

For example, the stone walking technique allows them to walk through rocks and mud, and can conduct reconnaissance or ambush in advance.

Another example is the stone vision technique, which allows them to see rocks as air, and when hiding in rocks, they can also see enemies within a certain range.

Coupled with the magic of the drow mages summoned by Pamela, such as stone fire, falling stone, and turning stone into mud, as well as careful planning, it is only natural that they successfully completed this ambush.

That is to say, there are too many enemies, and they don't have enough time. Otherwise, after turning into mud and then turning mud into stone, those enemies can be locked in the hard rock on the spot, not like this now, just blocked the enemy's retreat.

But despite this, Li Wei felt that if there were no accidents, they would win another hearty victory today. If everything goes well, they might be able to spend the night in Ostak City at night!
After another shower of arrows, a large number of drow spider masters died again, and Li Wei, Sally, and Lily also showed their power one after another. Magic such as Flame Head, Fire Wall, and Flash Blast were thrown out, causing a massive explosion in a short time. s damage.

At the same time, the five Eagle Claw Ballistas also started to attack. This is the first time Li Wei has officially appeared on the field after obtaining them. Let his subordinates get familiar with the operation first, and it will be better when they attack the city of Ostak later. use them.

I don't know if they were lucky. Originally, he divided a large area according to his own ability to take on more responsibilities, but now most of the area is fragile.

Either spider masters, or crossbowmen, thieves, rogues, etc., facing their attacks, they have no power to resist, let alone fight back.

For a while, the melee troops such as Elegy, as well as Pamela and the sword dancers who had been following Li Wei, had no chance to play. He felt that they might be the first team to complete the goal.

The dwarves were also very smooth. Hans used his special rune power again, and the tree stump carried out the bombing with a helicopter, and there were a variety of war machines behind him as assistance. Even if there were some spider drow among their enemies, they could Still beating the opponent so hard that he couldn't lift his head.

The shield dwarves were not so lucky, and many drow priests and drow mages became their enemies.

But they were enemies in the first place, and they had very rich combat experience, so at this time, a large number of earth elementals and Greyishites were at the forefront for the first time.

These elemental creatures with earth attributes are very resistant to beating, and drow's toxins and curses are basically ineffective against them. In addition, they also have a large number of dwarf crossbowmen and musketeers in their team, so It's not too difficult to fight.

And soon they also used a special war machine, the death steamroller that Li Wei mentioned before.

They mainly rely on a huge cylindrical device in front of the machine, which is densely covered with various spikes. Under the urging of steam and spirits, multiple death rollers are arranged in a neat formation and move forward together.

Whether it's collisions, crushing, or those spikes, it's enough to make the drows complain.

However, the drow's counterattack has little effect on them, because their whole bodies are covered with thick metal armor, and ordinary swords and crossbows can't even break through their defenses.

However, from Li Wei's point of view, they are not without weaknesses, and there are even more than one weaknesses.

Not to mention that it cannot be used against the sky, the all-metal structure makes it extremely resistant to lightning-type magic.

Since the power source is steam and dwarven spirits, and consumes a lot, the back cover has to be opened to replenish energy before running far. This is the best time for the enemy to attack.

At the same time, they have very high requirements on the terrain and are only suitable for plain combat.

It’s okay to have a little gravel, you can crush it directly, but if you encounter a ravine, you won’t be able to get out if you fall into it. If it’s a swamp or desert, then there’s no need to mention it, don’t even think about moving a step stand up.

Li Wei and the others worked together for a long time before finding the most suitable terrain for the shield dwarves.

Then there's the extreme clumsiness. You can only move forward or backward on the battlefield. If you want to turn a corner, it may take a few minutes.

Even so, their advantages are enough to cover up these shortcomings in most cases, especially the drow's many magics and poisons are ineffective against them.

And those silent shield dwarves also began to advance around the death steamroller with Zircon Dussel.

Some of them can use magic spells, some use shields as weapons, and their fighting style is similar to defensive counterattack. Although the efficiency of killing the enemy is not high, the victory is extremely safe. Obviously, they have been trained during the long-term battle with the drows rich combat experience.

Similarly, Suifeng's side is also in a similar situation. The golem legion is not afraid of drow's curses or poisons and other small tricks.

But Caijin and the others did not go well. In the previous battles, their harpies had suffered heavy casualties, but this time they encountered more than twenty tier 5 flying units - manticores.

Although judging from the current situation, they could still defeat each other in the end, but the few harpies might be hit hard again, and now they were completely reduced to cannon fodder.

But the ones who suffered the most were Sun Knight and Qian Qian.

If you just have to face the various magical attacks of drow mages, then their undead cannon fodder will come in handy.

But those drow knights and crypt scorpions are not something they can easily deal with.

Ordinary undead are not good at fighting against cavalry units. Among the undead units in their hands, only skeleton spearmen are capable of this.

But their strength is really too weak. Often, a single drow knight's charge can smash several skeletons one after another, and it is difficult to even delay the time.

And after fighting, they discovered that those crypt scorpions are not only a powerful mix of Tier 5 and Tier 6, they can also punch holes!
Often, they plunge into it with a fierce force, and the solid ground under their feet holds them like water, and then a few seconds later, they pop out from another place.

And I don't know if they are being remotely controlled by some drow, or they are born with such a keen intuition. These crypt scorpions seem to specialize in drilling near crispy units such as archers, which is even more terrible.

Based on their powerful strength, whether it is the swing and pincer strike of the huge double pincers, or the poisonous tail needle, they are extremely deadly to archers.

Moreover, their attack frequency is not low, and the attack range is not small. Often the priests and druids have no time to heal, and those unlucky guys have already died.

Even though the cooling time of their special skills with a lot of burrows seems to be not short, and they can't be used twice a minute, but they are too powerful and too flexible, and their magic and other means are difficult to come in handy.

So just a few minutes after the war started, the Sun Knight couldn't help but complained again and again, and had to ask Levi for help.

The undead creatures under his command have no morale at all, but the other arms and their god-chosen heroes all have morale. If the troops continue to be ravaged like this, their mentality will collapse first!
Naturally, Li Wei would not sit idly by. In fact, he had already noticed what happened there, and he also mentioned that he had made certain preparations for it, so Elegy brought the sword dancer, Cindy brought the angel, Du Yin took a part of the ogres and rushed over immediately.

Then he summoned the bear-headed envoy headed by Bill, and asked them to go to the reinforcements together.

It doesn't matter if they can drill holes, as long as the monster hold technique can take effect, they will only have a dead end.

Temporarily handing over the task of command to Donna, and asking Naer and the others to cooperate with her, he flew directly to the side of the shield dwarves who dealt with these drows the most times, and at the same time, he also let the mages brought by Pamela temporarily rest , to restore mana.

Because he felt that the skills of the Crypt Scorpions were very similar to the Stone Walking Technique of the Shield Dwarves, so the way to deal with them should be similar, right?
It turns out that the shield dwarves do know, and have a way of dealing with it.

The talent of the crypt scorpions is indeed stone walking, but the effect is slightly different from the real magic. They can only pass through ordinary sandstone and limestone and other soft rocks. Shield dwarves can use rocks Metamorphism, strengthening sandstone into stronger granite for a short period of time.

Although with the strong strength of the Crypt Scorpions, they can still smash through the granite with brute force, but they can no longer walk freely through the rocks like swimming in water.

After finding a way to restrain it, Li Wei was naturally very happy, but unfortunately there was only one shield dwarf who could cast this spell, and there was only one mage brought by Pamela.

Because when it is used as magic, rock metamorphism is a sixth-level magic, and ordinary mages can't use it at all.

But fortunately, the bear-headed angels were quite powerful. When Li Wei was looking for a solution, they used the monster hold technique to cooperate with Elegy and others, and they had successfully killed 3 crypt demon scorpions.

More importantly, the Sun Knight and others knew that the enemy was not without weaknesses, so they all calmed down and started to adjust their battle strategies to match the actions of Elegy and others.

Soon Li Wei arrived, and the two reinforcements were also ordered by Li Wei to specifically select those crypt magic scorpions that were about to drill underground, or halfway through, to perform rock metamorphism.

Although their magic effects can only cover an area of ​​fifty or sixty square meters, it can be said that usually those crypt demon scorpions can cross over with just a few steps, but at this critical moment, the magic effect has suddenly increased by an unknown number of times. .

The crypt scorpions were either stuck, or they bumped into the hard granite, and they couldn't dig a big hole for a long time.

At this time, Cindy, Elegy, and Alduin all attacked one after another, often able to kill each other neatly.

And under his command, everyone first targeted those weaker Tier 5 crypt scorpions and killed them as quickly as possible, and then dealt with the 6th tier crypt scorpions with higher defense and health.

Because for the archers under the Sun Knight, there is not much difference between the 5th and 6th crypt scorpions, they are all enemies that can take their lives, so Li Wei naturally wants to give priority to reducing the number of opponents, In order to reduce the scope of the disturbance.

So as time went by, their cooperation became more and more tacit, and the number of crypt scorpions became less and less, and the threat they could pose to the Sun Knight decreased sharply.

Seeing that they were all working so hard, Sun Knight and the others became more excited. They used their own tricks one after another, and cooperated with the hired ogres in the front row to fight against Drow's cavalry units.

Even if ogres are not professional anti-cavalry units such as spearmen, because of their large body and high weight, they often resist the opponent's charge and will not be knocked far, which is very useful for maintaining the front line.

After all, drow's subterranean monitor lizard or giant spider were not particularly professional cavalry mounts.

Li Wei also already knew this, so he has decided that the next time he encounters Blood Fist or other ogre leaders, he can recruit more ogres.

At present, when ogres are used as cannon fodder, they are more useful than ordinary Yuyong, mainly because of their strong applicability.

It's just that the amount and frequency of food they usually eat is a bit too much, so he needs to prepare several times the supplies.

But in any case, this way, the battle situation will become more stable.

However, Li Wei felt that something was wrong. Even if the drows didn't come out in full force this time, it was almost the same.

According to the information provided by the Root Shield dwarves and Pamela, the mistresses, mage leaders, martial arts masters, etc. of many major families are basically hero units, but their current performance is a bit too mediocre, right? ?
Seeing that there were not many crypt scorpions left, Li Wei called back his subordinates. It is always good to be prepared.

As if responding to Li Wei's guess, when more than half of the drow troops were lost, their mages and priests began to cast spells one after another. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of wax melted demons appeared in the opponent's formation, and then they all Transformed into an ordinary drow without a long body.

Seeing this scene, Li Wei and the others who had already experienced it didn't matter, but Qian Qian and the others couldn't help screaming strangely.

On the contrary, Sun Knight was a little indifferent, because he had seen it many times in reality.

But of course Li Wei doesn't think that this is the end. The strength of those melted wax monsters is indeed good, but they are not enough to change the whole situation of the battle. The drows must still be preparing a bigger conspiracy!
Suddenly, many drow mages in the rear screamed, and flames burst out from their bodies, burning them to ashes in an instant, but many drow priests laughed strangely: "Damn idiots, let you see Our 'demon army'!"

Fierce flames shot up into the sky, reflecting red on the faces and battle armors of both the enemy and us, and then accompanied by a series of roars, hundreds of hideous and ugly monsters walked out of the magic circle and rushed towards The most pressured side of the Sun Knights.

Everyone knew immediately that the drows were backed by an army of demons!
