Throne of the Warlord

Chapter 42 Li Qing's Counterattack
The man shook his head:

"My ability is limited now. I can only kill four. I can't deal with the jackals and kobolds after that."

Chu Zaizhong gritted his teeth:
"Kill it first."

The mage nodded, didn't say anything, just lifted the staff in his hand and began to mutter.

A red light appeared in front of Xiao Xiao, and it quickly turned into a vortex of flames. A dazzling red fire beam flew out of the vortex and shot at the nearest undead wolf man.

Heroic spell——blazing ray, fires three high-temperature blazing rays in succession, causing fire damage to the target, and the first blazing ray has a magic penetration effect.

The normal blazing ray spell only fires a high-temperature flame ray. This mage also points the second point of hero skills on it to raise it to LV2, plus two points of hero expertise to strengthen it, and can shoot three blazing rays at a time, and the first additional spell wears Penetrating, can cause fatal damage to targets with strong magic resistance.

The first blazing ray directly melted a fist-sized hole in the neck of the undead wolf man, and the subsequent second shot completely penetrated his neck, and his head fell off.

Instant kill on the spot.

Standing on the stone pillar, Li Qing could see clearly. When the head of the Wolf Man Undead Warrior fell off, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

It can only be said that when a mage hero goes to extremes and spends all the hero's skill points and expertise points on a single spell, the sudden explosion is too violent.

According to the power of this spell, Li Qing doubted that even the fourth-tier units would not be able to withstand a blazing ray.

Four blazing rays were fired in a row, and the four wolf man undead warriors were beheaded.

Even a harmless undead couldn't bear this kind of attack that directly penetrated the body.

At the end of the four shots, the mana was also exhausted, and the mage hero temporarily lost his combat effectiveness.

Of course, it is no problem to cast some zero-ring spells such as the light spell with the remaining mana, but this will not affect the battle situation.

There are a total of seven Gnoll undead warriors, and after killing four, there are three left.
But these three rushed over with the large force of jackals and kobolds behind them. While they had to face the undead jackals, they also had to face nearly [-] jackals and more than [-] kobolds.

Almost instantly, the two deployed troops collided head-on and began to fight.

The average rank of Chu Zaizhong's troops is not inferior to that of Li Qing, and there are many second- and third-tier troops, but he does not have so many elite and elite template soldiers, and the strength of the same rank is weaker than Li Qing's troops.

However, his number is large enough, about twice that of Li Qing, which bridges the gap.

In order to deal with the three gnoll undead puppets of the third-level horror template, Chu Zaizhong directly mobilized about a quarter of his troops, stabbed arrows with knives, spears, and arrows. Although he could not be killed for a while, the large number of people blocked it The attack of the three undead puppets.

On the other side, the infantry formed a shield wall, with the spearmen behind and the archers at the end, firmly blocking the kobolds driven by the jackals.

Although the kobolds are numerous in number, their individual strength is weak. The moment the two sides engaged in battle, they saw that the front row almost fell backwards.

In addition, he had more than a dozen cavalrymen, and they also began to gallop at this time, trying to attack the enemy's back row and divide and eliminate small groups of kobolds.

Standing in the back row and seeing this scene, Chu Zaizhong was determined.

"There is no problem here. As long as the other side can block Li Qing's counterattack, this wave can win."

He deliberately turned his head to look at Li Qing on the wall of the city wall, but he saw that Li Qing was still smiling.

The heart that had just stabilized was suddenly not so at ease.

At this time, there was a sudden roar from the direction of the gate of the wolf man tribe ahead, which made his heart skip a beat, and after seeing the gate, an extremely tall figure suddenly rushed out.

"what?"

Li Qing was startled for a moment. He could see that figure was the leader of the jackals who had been shot by Xie Zhu's arrow before, but his appearance had changed greatly compared to before.

The height suddenly swelled from the previous two meters to about two meters five, and the figure became stronger.

The bloody magic pattern on his body has been fully activated, and the blood flames are burning, looking like a devil.

With just a glance, Li Qing knew that this guy's strength was much stronger than before.

After this guy rushed out, he went on a rampage. All the jackals and kobolds on the road were knocked away, and rushed towards Chu Zaizhong's infantry line aggressively like a tank.

Chu Zaizhong's face immediately changed, and he shouted loudly:
"The first squad of infantry is ready to fight!"

"All archers change targets and focus on new targets!"

At this time, he already regretted letting his mage hero use up all his mana just now, otherwise he could still block it.

"You lose!"

Li Qing can tell with just one glance.

Although Chu Zaizhong's army is large in scale, it has a fatal flaw, that is, there are no powerful fighters comparable to Long Shou.

Wang Qiyong is a stalker hero with no frontal combat capability.

His melee combat ability is not weak, but a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and it is impossible for the lord to go to the front line until he is defeated.

The key point is that his personal strength is comparable to that of a Tier [-] elite infantryman. It would be difficult to single out a Gnoll undead warrior, but a strengthened Tier [-] hero would definitely not be able to beat him.

In fact, it was impossible for him to go up and fight this powerful Jackal hero himself.

More than fifty archers focused their fire in one round, and most of them hit the rampant wolf leader Larson. But at this moment, his physique was very strong, obviously stronger than before, and most of the arrows were bounced away by the tough flesh. It is rare to shoot into it and it is only one or two fingers deep, and it will not hurt the root.

This aroused his ferocity even more. With a roar, he knocked the kobold away in front of him, and jumped seven or eight meters high.

Berserker hero skill, jump and cut.

Leaping directly over the front row of soldiers and jumping into the rear, a sword cut an archer in half, and the flying blood made him even more crazy.

Berserker Hero Skill: Demoralizing Roar, reducing the fighting spirit and strength of surrounding enemies.

Berserker Hero Skill: Whirlwind.

Although there is only one sword, it is no different from two.

The blade turned and swept across, and the archer's leather armor couldn't stop it, and there was a burst of blood and flesh.

"Cool!"

At this moment, Chu Zaizhong's heart hurts as much as Li Qing's feeling is as good as standing on the city wall watching the play.

"You want to sneak attack me, you deserve it!"

A round of whirlwind swept by, at least fifteen long-range shooters were killed on the spot, and more than ten were injured. Although they were not dead, their combat power was affected.

After the whirlwind, Larson swept across with his sword, and an injured archer was intercepted and cut into two pieces. The cruel scene frightened the surrounding wounded soldiers back again and again, and the other uninjured archers also quickly dispersed.

A berserker rushes into the group of shooters, that is wolf among sheep.

At this moment, the weakness of not having a strong fighter in hand was exposed. Chu Zaizhong had no choice but to transfer the five third-tier elite imperial infantrymen he had carefully trained from the front row. The sword in hand followed.

Seeing this, Li Qing whispered to Xie Zhu next to him:

"Look at the timing and kill the stalker hero in his hand."

Then he said to Long Shou in front of him:

"Find an opportunity to go over and take a breath of the dragon. The target is other than the opponent's lord. You can figure it out."

Li Qing said that if he wants to take revenge, he will definitely take revenge. Since Chu Zaizhong has already done the first grade of junior high school, and has already done substantial work, don't blame him for doing fifteen.

Don't say that you have no losses.

That's because he was lucky, as long as he was blocked later, it would be over.

Anyway, as long as you don't do anything to Chu Zaizhong himself.

The protection of the academy only protects the apprentices of the war lords themselves, not their subordinates. If they are not capable enough to be killed, no one will make decisions for you.

And for the apprentice of the war lord, as long as he does not die, he can make a comeback.

Troops can be re-trained when they are gone, and heroes can be re-recruited after they die.

It is worth mentioning that normal heroes and professional apprentices will be protected, but if the hero and professional have allegiance to a warlord apprentice, they will not be protected.

After all, life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky.

You have chosen to fight for your future, whether you live or die depends on your fate.

After Long Shou took the order, he still stood by Li Qing's side, while Xie Zhu took out an armor-piercing fine steel arrow from behind and put it on the bow, but he didn't pull it away, but was observing.

There is no chance now.

Chu Zaizhong's stalker hero has been in a semi-stealth state, and it is difficult to find and lock it under the cover of the night. From time to time, he will suddenly appear behind the wolf man, lock his throat with his daggers and strangle him.

His speed is not fast, but his efficiency is very high, and he must kill one every time he shows up.

This kind of assassin hero is the nemesis of magic and long-distance professions. If you don't kill him, even if Chu Zaizhong is defeated in the back, you still have the strength to continue to interfere with them.

Li Qing was not in a hurry to urge, this kind of thing must be done recklessly without a chance.

The joint efforts of the five third-tier elite infantrymen, together with Chu Zaizhong's support, managed to draw the attention of the wolf man leader away from the shooter.

The double swords kept slashing, and the iron shield was slashed, knocking back the infantry from time to time with great force.

But two enemies are hard to fight with four hands. Whenever an infantry is repelled and wants to make up the knife, Chu Zaizhong and other infantry will always step forward to interfere and intercept, and no one can do anything for the time being.

But this situation didn't last long. Following the second round of demoralizing roar of the wolf hero Larson, the surrounding infantry became frightened, and the second round of whirlwind slashed with the sword.

The third-tier infantrymen had iron shields, and their scale armor was solid for defense. Whirlwind Slash's two quick slashes just knocked the shields in their hands away, causing sparks to fly from the scale armor.

When they recovered from their fear, only two elite infantrymen were cut and one elite infantryman was killed with a single blow.

Chu Zaizhong is fine. He has a hero template and is extremely resistant to negative states such as fear. The wolf man hero avoids the blade early in the whirlwind.

But many elites were injured, and their siege was broken.

Seeing this scene, Chu Zaizhong's eyes flickered, and he was already thinking about whether to dock his tail to survive.

Pull a part of the troops to the rear, and the main force withdraws first.

There is no way, he only has these elite infantrymen of Tier [-], and the rest are a mix of Tier [-] and Tier [-], without a head-on confrontation with the strength of this jackal hero, and the loss will exceed his expectations if he wants to siege him.

The key is not necessarily to be able to kill.

What's more, there is Li Qing on the sidelines, if the loss is too great, even if you can win later, you will not be able to keep the fruits of victory.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was not worth it, and Chu Zaizhong's scale had begun to tilt.

At this moment, he subconsciously looked at the city wall not far away from the corner of his eye and saw a tall figure jumping off the city wall and rushing towards him.

Chu Zaizhong was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted:

"The first and second squadrons of the first squadron are careful."

Long Shou quickly approached, and a vortex of flames emerged from the distance with his mouth open.

Chu Zaizhong immediately recalled Long Shou's breath of flames in the big exam before, his face changed immediately, and he shouted again:
"Hurry up!"

However, Long Shou didn't spit out the dragon's breath immediately, but continued to approach without accumulating energy, and when he reached a certain point, he suddenly turned his head, and a dazzling ray of dragon's breath spewed out amid Chu Zaizhong's drastically changed expression.

"No!"

Amid Chu Zaizhong's despair, the dragon's breath ray passed through the scattered infantry across a distance of 50 meters in an instant, hitting the face of the mage hero wearing a magic robe not far from Chu Zaizhong.

The unimaginable high-temperature flames hit the face of the undefended mage hero. The super-high temperature quickly burned the flesh and blood, and the whole head turned into a fireball.

A mage without defense is not as good as a first-tier infantry, so how can he stop Long Shou from firing a high-energy ray.

A few seconds later, the dragon's breath ray disappeared, and the mage hero's head was still burning, his body swayed a few steps, and he collapsed under Chu Zaizhong's desperate eyes.

Li Qing told Long Shou earlier that he should choose his own target.

For Long Shou, the mage hero is the greatest threat to him.

Those four rounds of three bursts of flame rays were too powerful, if they hit all of them, he would definitely not be able to stop them.

The death of the mage hero made Chu Zaizhong directly determined to retreat. He endured the pain in his heart and quickly issued a series of orders.

More than [-] infantry were left behind to stop Li Qing's possible pursuit, and then ordered the rest of the troops to prepare to leave the battle.

After a brief buffer, Long Shou opened his mouth and took a sharp breath to start the second round of energy accumulation. His eyes were on Chu Zaizhong's No.2 stalker hero.

At this time, Wang Qiyong had accepted the order to withdraw from the back of the wolf man. Although his body was still in a stealth state, Long Shouyuan's perception surpassed that of ordinary people and roughly captured his general position.

Opening his mouth, the second ray breath aimed at an open space not far from Chu Zaizhong.

The blazing rays flew across the sky, but did not hit the target, but the flames dispelled the surrounding darkness, and a human silhouette emerged.

The moment he appeared, a faint light flashed in the void, and an arrow hit the silhouette of the human figure from a distance of nearly 150 meters. The arrow shot into his lower abdomen and exited through his back.

It was Xie Zhu's charged attack.

When Long Shou started the second round of exhaling and accumulating energy, he began to draw the bow to accumulate energy.

With the 100% range bonus of the sniper, it can accurately kill the target even at a distance of more than 150 meters.

There is no discussion, only a tacit understanding.

The moment he saw Wang Qiyong being shot, Li Qing couldn't help applauding.

Killing these two heroes, plus the loss just now, and the loss of breaking out later, Chu Zaizhong's strength was cut in half on the spot, and his competitiveness plummeted instantly. It is estimated that he will fall out of the top ten by then, and he has lost his threat.
