Lord God: Times have changed

Chapter 216 Takahashi Defensive Battle

Above the sky, the golden roc spread its wings and took Zhou Ming and Ailidan to a bridge.

Looking at the army in the distance, Aridan's face sank like water, and he said: "According to the speed of this group of wolves, I'm afraid it will only take half a day to reach Gaoqiao!

Although there are soldiers stationed on the high bridge, but the number is too small, it is impossible to block this large army. If reinforcements... Even if the teleportation array is used, half a day is still too short, and I don't know how many can be sent through the teleportation array. Reinforcements, if there are too few reinforcements, this high bridge will still be unstoppable! "

Zhou Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "It will be dark by the time they arrive at Gaoqiao in half a day. Do wolf people have the habit of fighting at night?"

"Gnolls are creatures of the night!"

"Ah? This..."

Zhou Ming originally wanted to say that if jackals could not fight at night, they would still have a day and a night, but unexpectedly jackals were nocturnal creatures.

So, the current day is night for the jackals?

But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that the wolf man wants to quickly lay down several important gates of the elf kingdom?

Take human wars as an example. During the period of cold weapons, most of the time, the army worked day and night, because for human beings who are diurnal creatures, fighting at night is extremely unfavorable.

It is necessary to march urgently at night, either because the military situation is urgent and requires the rapid support of the army, or there is a special strategic intention that requires the army to reach the target location quickly.

The same is true for Jackals. If the daytime is equivalent to human night for Jackals, then they must have special military intentions when marching rapidly during the day.

However, after Zhou Ming thought about it, a smile appeared on his face.

"Whether it is a human or a wolf man, it is absolutely impossible to march continuously for a day without stopping. If day is night for the wolf man, it means that they have advanced for a day and a half, [-] or [-] hours. .In this way, for the next half day, they are likely to be stationed and rested."

With Zhou Ming's current attributes, he still has to sleep for about two or three hours a day to maintain his mental state for the day.

What's more, these jackals?
As long as the commander of the wolf man army is not a lunatic, he will definitely let the wolf man rest for a period of time every day.

Otherwise, even if they rushed to Gaoqiao in a hurry, a group of gnolls who were exhausted and overworked would not be able to achieve much results.

It may even be counter-killed by the elf army waiting for work.

In the era of cold weapons, there are countless examples of winning more with less, especially in defensive battles!
Hearing this, Aridan felt a little relieved, and his complexion improved a bit.

"I hope so... Anyway, this news must be told to Takahashi's guardian army first."

The golden roc flew down.

On the high bridge, a total of three small barracks were set up, located at the bridge head, the end of the bridge and in the middle of the bridge. Each barracks contained a thousand soldiers, all of which were [-] ordinary soldiers, [-] shooters, and [-] mages. , a configuration of one hundred druids.

But even if these people were added together, it was only three thousand troops, which was still too small compared to the tens of thousands of wolf man army.

The golden roc flew to the barracks at the bridge head first, and met the commander of the barracks.

The commander naturally believed the news brought by the famous ranger Elidan, but the matter was so important that the commander still had to send out scouts to check it out.

Zhou Ming simply pulled him onto the golden roc, and took him to the front for a look. The commander saw the big army with his own eyes, so he naturally believed it.

After returning, he sent someone to inform the two barracks in the middle of the bridge and at the end of the bridge. At the same time, he sent information to the capital and asked for help from all around.

After the king's capital got the information, he ordered all the nearby fortresses to send troops to support them, and asked the Gaoqiao barracks to stop the wolf man's army!
After discussing with the commanders of the three barracks, they decided to activate the teleportation array in the barracks immediately.

A teleportation array in a thirteenth-level world is naturally impossible to be as powerful and fast as those higher worlds.

The teleportation array in this world can transport up to 50 people at a time, and the time required for each teleportation will increase as the distance increases.

It only takes 5 minutes to teleport within a hundred miles, but as the distance increases, the teleportation time continues to prolong. The farthest is from Wangdu to Gray Crow Port, which spans half of the southern continent. A teleportation takes five hours. time!

And after ten consecutive teleportations, a mage must maintain and maintain the teleportation array, which takes about an hour.

If maintenance is not done, there may be accidents in the next teleportation, and even the teleportation array will explode directly.

Fortunately, the nearest military base is within 5 miles. If you support from there, you can teleport once every [-] minutes.

10 people can be teleported in 500 minutes, although it needs an hour of maintenance and maintenance later...

The jackal army still had half a day to arrive. Calculated in eight hours, it would be able to teleport fifty times, a total of 500 people.

There are three teleportation formations in the three barracks, and a total of 500 people can be teleported.

Including the already existing [-] troops, the total is tens of thousands!

Moreover, as long as the gnoll army is blocked, the army of the elf kingdom can come continuously through the teleportation array!

This is still the worst case.

If the jackal army had to rest halfway, calculated based on the time a normal person takes to sleep for eight hours, then Takahashi would have sixteen hours to prepare, and 5000 people could be teleported!

In that case, their confidence will be even greater.

Of course, with more than 1 people and the crisis situation, a more reliable general must be dispatched.

It is impossible for a few commanders to command an army of [-] people.

So when the second teleportation array was teleported, a female elf general with a slightly old face came directly.

The elves have a long lifespan and are protected by the goddess of nature, so it is difficult to show old age.

The female general's face is slightly old, which proves that she is really old, and I am afraid that at the very least, she is also an elf who is over eight hundred years old.

After she came, she directly commanded the entire army and took control of the command.

No one doubts this.

During this period, Aridan thought about going to sneak attack and harass the gnoll army.

But was stopped by the general.

"We have too few people here, even a sneak attack can't cause too many casualties to the Wolf man army, but it will make the Wolf man commander angry and realize that we already know the actions of their Wolf man army.

The greater possibility is to let them attack directly and quickly under anger.

As a weak and defensive side, we should be more stable. "

The character of the wolf man can be reminiscent of the bandits in those movies and TV shows.

If someone sneaked up the mountain and killed one of the bandits in a sneak attack, then the bandits would definitely not be frightened, but would retaliate wildly.

The old general has lived for hundreds of years, and he knows very well that the temperament of the wolf man is just like this, so at this moment, he does not want to be troublesome, but pursues stability.

Although Aridan had dealt with jackals many times, his understanding of jackals was far inferior to that of the old general.

Not long after, Zhou Ming drove Jin Peng to fly into the sky to investigate the military situation, and he saw the wolf man resting in place.

This rest is probably a few hours.

This means that Takahashi's army has more time to prepare.

However, the jackals did not rest for eight hours as Zhou Ming imagined, but only rested for five hours before starting to march again.

According to their speed, they will arrive at the barracks in another four hours.

And at that time, it was around [-] or [-] o'clock at night, when the gnolls were most energetic, and it was also when the elves were most exhausted.

The old general counted the time and said, "It seems that the commander of this jackal army is quite wise."

The jackal clan is notoriously reckless, and basically has no brains, but the magic family can produce a ranger, let alone the huge jackal clan.

It's not uncommon for two or three people with brains to come out.

Four hours passed in a blink of an eye. Although the number of soldiers teleported over had not yet reached fifteen thousand, there were still twelve thousand. Adding in the three thousand soldiers and horses already there, the total number was fifteen thousand.

Seeing that the wolf man army was coming, the old general began to command the whole army to deploy defenses.

At this time, more than ten hours had passed since the Gnoll army was first discovered, and a lot of fortifications had been built at the bridgehead based on the original barracks, and the elf army was conducting defensive battles based on these fortifications.

Ordinary soldiers in front, archers in the back, mixed with mages and druids, is the most common battle formation in the elf kingdom.

The smoke and dust billowed, and the wolf man army approached step by step.

The one in the front is an ordinary jackal bandit, the back is the jackal arsonist, and behind the arsonist is another kind of jackal.

They were covered in armor and held all-metal maces. They were huge and three meters tall. Bite marks could be seen on their exposed skin.

These traces are not from the enemy, but from the gnolls of the same race.

This kind of wolf man is the real warrior of the wolf man family, the wolf man biter!
Not only are they tall and powerful, they have experienced hundreds of battles, and they have rich combat experience. They also wear iron armor and hold iron hammers. Whether it is physical fitness, combat experience, or the equipment they wear, they are far superior to the jackals and bandits. .

It is said that every biter has defeated countless fellows, killed them and survived in bloody and violent battles.

Therefore, while they are powerful, they are also extremely fierce.In the face of enemies, even if they are of the same race, they will show no mercy.

Under such harsh conditions, the biters are considered rare among the entire Chenwolf clan.

Among the wolf man race, only a tribe with more than a thousand people can cultivate and breed some wolf man biters.

A tribe of tens of thousands of people can cultivate an army of wolf man biters.

And among this army of tens of thousands of people, nearly one-third, that is, more than 1 people, are Gnoll biters.

The number of this kind of army, at least requires more than [-] large tribes with tens of thousands of people, to be able to piece it together!
The old general knew jackals best, and he was shocked when he saw this: "This group of despicable and shameless jackals, is it true that the whole family is dispatched?!"

are you crazy?
Even if the entire Gnoll race is added up, compared to the Elven Kingdom, they are not too strong enemies.

If the whole clan of gnolls were really mobilized, the final result would definitely not be that they captured the elf kingdom, but that the gnolls would be completely wiped out by the elf kingdom.

But now this large army shows that the Jackals have indeed done so.

The old general didn't understand, but his duty now was to stop this army, so he put this question behind him and began to command the army to fight.

Gnolls are nocturnal creatures and can see at night. In contrast, elves have no advantage at night.

Zhou Ming stretched out his hands suddenly, and surging energy came out of his hands to serve him. Under the action of the energy master, all the energy was combined into blue talismans in midair according to certain rules.

"Six Yang Talisman, go!"

As soon as Zhou Ming waved his hand, countless translucent energy-body blue talismans flew into the sky, radiating immeasurable rays of light, immediately illuminating the entire bridgehead as if it were daytime.

The Liuyang Talisman is just an ordinary second-level Talisman, its only function is to simulate sunlight and release a lot of light.If you are in a dark place, you can use this kind of talisman to emit light to illuminate the surroundings.

With Zhou Ming's strength, he didn't need this thing for a long time, but he didn't expect that this talisman would play a huge role today.

Countless Liuyang Talismans are like countless balls of light, covering the entire battlefield.

The elves also know that they do not have an advantage in fighting at night, and the pitch-black night puts some pressure on their hearts. Now that the Six Sun Talisman is released, the night will change into day in an instant, and their spirits will be lifted immediately.

In contrast, the wolf man's army suddenly stopped.

God closed the door for you, and he will lift the ceiling for you.

As nocturnal creatures, jackals can see at night. Correspondingly, this race is more sensitive to daylight, or to light.

Not to mention strong light, even normal sunlight will make their eyes sting, which is really uncomfortable.

"Damn! Damn!"

The commander in the army cursed and roared: "Go! Everyone go up to me, break through this high bridge, and kill all the elves!"

Following his order, wolves howled in the army, and the whole army rushed towards the elf barracks frantically.

Aridan stood on an arrow tower, expending a lot of skills, an arrow shot into the sky, and then countless arrows fell from the sky.

Zhou Ming was driving the Jinpeng, with mana surging in his hand, suddenly an endless stream of water flew out of the big river below the high bridge, turned into dozens of ferocious water dragons, and rushed into the wolf man army.

This is the technique of water escape and water dragon bullet!
Next to such a big river, directly using the water in the river to attack is not only more powerful, but also the summoned water dragon is thicker and has a wider attack range.

Dozens of water dragons ravaged the wolf man army, not to mention the casualties caused, the most important thing was that it greatly affected the performance of the wolf man arsonists.

"Attack together!"

A wolf man who seemed to have a little bit of prestige roared.

In the next moment, hundreds of gnoll arsonists manipulated the flames on the torches in their hands together to form a huge flame, like a ferocious dragon with teeth and claws, and rushed towards one of the water dragons.

Water and fire have always been intolerant, but at this moment, there was a sudden collision, and a huge force was generated immediately. A large amount of water vapor filled the surrounding area, turning into a thick mist, covering a large area of ​​wolf men.

Zhou Ming curled his lips and ignored them, continuing to manipulate other water dragons to attack.

When the water dragon hits these gnolls, it will inevitably reduce some water volume. In addition, the water is not the energy controlled by Zhou Ming, so after it is reduced, it cannot return to the water dragon. Therefore, these dozens of water dragons have caused a lot of damage. After the casualties, the amount of water decreased, and the water dragon, which was originally as thick as a pillar, was now as thin as a gun shaft, and could no longer exert a strong impact on those jackals.

Therefore, Zhou Ming simply gave up these water dragons, and then used the energy to send them into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

Although the Liuyang Talisman illuminated the surrounding area of ​​the battlefield as brightly as day, it was impossible for the light to reach the sky.

Beyond the range covered by the light, it still looks pitch black, so no one can see the dense dark clouds.

It wasn't until a flash of lightning pierced the sky that the two armies below noticed this kind of thing.

"It is going to rain?"

The old general's face darkened.

Rain is not a good thing for the elves, but it is the same for the jackals. Once it rains, the torches held by the jackals, the only long-range unit of the jackals, will be extinguished. If it is preserved, its power will be greatly reduced.

But in the next moment, light appeared in the dark sky, and a huge thunderball appeared from under the dark clouds.

Because it was summoned temporarily, this thunderball is more than a hundred times smaller than the two thunderballs that Zhou Ming made in the Yitian Tulongji world.

Even so, this thunder ball was a terrifying force for the Wolf man army.

boom!
The huge thunderball landed with a bang, and the moment it hit the ground, it turned into infinite electricity and spread.

The dazzling electric light even surpassed the Liuyang Talisman floating in the sky for an instant, and countless screams were heard in the army of wolf men in an instant.

But the thunder light was also fleeting, and after a while, I saw a tragic death in the wolf man army. Dozens of wolf man biters were completely black and fell to the ground dead.

Zhou Ming couldn't help frowning.

Just now, he used the technique of water escape and water dragon bullet not to be cool, but to disperse the water, and then use the thunder punishment from the sky to use the water to conduct electricity, so that he can attack more targets.

He didn't know that dozens of Gnoll biters died in this one, which really surprised him.

He also knew that the Gnoll Biter was strong and strong, and his physique and strength attributes must have surpassed the average Gnoll, but logically speaking, hundreds of them would have to die no matter what.

Now, it is only one-tenth of the original!

Zhou Mingfei went to Aridan's side, and after asking, he found out the reason.

The Gnoll Pyromancer can manipulate fire, and the Gnoll Biter also has special abilities.

When more than four biters gather together, the strange power in their blood will automatically take effect.

This is a power called 'Wrath and Fighting Intent', which can increase the attack power and defense power of the four biters by [-]%.

Since then, the number of people has continued to increase, and the increased strength will increase in offense and defense. Of course, this cannot be infinite. According to the marginal effect, four together can increase the strength by [-]%, and ten together can increase the strength. It is [-]%, one hundred is ninety percent, and one thousand is only ten percent.

Afterwards, the more the number increases, the superimposed bonus will continue to decrease.

Even so, when these ten thousand wolf man biters gather together, each biter can get an attack and defense bonus of [-]%.

Zhou Ming was secretly surprised by this peculiar bloodline power, and thought to himself, no wonder he only killed dozens of biters when a thunder ball came down.

But he didn't know that Aridan was also surprised.

When a large number of Gnoll Biters gather together, the blood power bonus obtained can even double the strength of each Gnoll Biter.

With his bow and arrow skills, using the skill of nine consecutive shots, it is estimated that he can only solve one of them.

However, Zhou Ming's one magic attack directly solved dozens of them.

The lethality is dozens of times that of his!
Although he knew very early on that in terms of battlefield lethality, magicians are far better than rangers.

But the gap is too big!

Even if it is his brother Ai Ruiwen, or even his mother and father, if one spell is defeated, at most it can solve two or three, five or six biters. Compared with Zhou Ming, there are still about ten times more people. gap.

On the battlefield, the death of dozens of people did not cause any waves, and it was even more shocking than the movement brought about by Zhou Ming's magic.

Under the effect of the bloodline ability of anger and fighting spirit, tens of thousands of them are already strong and strong, and their physical attributes are far superior to those of elves, gnolls, and biters. Increase.

The marginal utility of the bloodline ability puts an upper limit on the strength of the biters, but in the same way, the death of dozens or even hundreds of biters will not have any impact on their bloodline ability.

At most, the strength bonus has been reduced by a few points.

In the blink of an eye, most of the day had passed, and it was noon the next day.

The glare of the sun made the wolves very uncomfortable, and the whole night of fighting made them even more exhausted. Even the biters with strong physical attributes felt a little tired at this time.

In comparison, the situation on the Elf side is much better.

The state of defense and the barracks and fortifications that have already been built make it easier for them to fight.

The most important thing is that the teleportation array at the rear is still continuously sending troops over. Under the deployment of the old general, these troops even took turns to defend, so that the frontline and most tired soldiers can rest for a while.

The long time of fighting, the constant archery, and the use of skills as soon as the energy is restored, made Aridan, a hero unit, a little bit unable to support.

Although Zhou Ming's energy and energy were not affected, his mood was inevitably affected, which gave him the urge to spend more than a day gathering endless dark clouds and sending a big thunderball to the wolf man army.

Just when he was about to do this, the old general approached him and Aridan and gave them a mission.
