Throne of the Warlord

Chapter 55 Artificial Meteorite Technique (ask for monthly pass, ask for subscription)

Xue Yunling is one of the eighteen warlord apprentices under the name of the three-star mentor Ji Yuanjia, and is currently ranked fifth.

As soon as the two-month study period ended, he started to open up to the outside world. He was the first among the eighteen apprentices to enter this fragment of the big plane, and he was also the most radical.

After a short reconnaissance, the other apprentices had just entered the plane, and he had already led the troops into the depths of the plane.

After crossing a hilly area with complex terrain and then came to a plain area, the hero of reconnaissance discovered a village of snake people.

After confirming the strength of the snake people's village and finding out the general situation of the snake people's town not far away, Xue Yunling made a blitz plan.

Prepare to wipe out the guards of this Snake Village and complete the sack before Snake Town reacts and sends troops.

"The weather is fair!"

Xue Yunling raised his head and looked at the dark gray sky. After reconnaissance, it should be the time when the snake man and the slaves are about to finish work. After a while, the slaves who are busy in the farmland will return to the village one after another, and then they can quietly Get to the edge of the village and attack.

Just as his gaze swept across the sky, he saw a rather large shadow passing overhead.

But he didn't care. There are a few raptors in the sky on this plane, which pose no threat to them.

An hour later, a crisp horn sounded in the valley, and a loud voice sounded:

"Everyone has them. The First Squadron of Infantry and the First Squadron of Archers form the First Squadron, commanded by Wang Yiheng, to attack the gate of the Snakeman village from the front."

"The Second Squadron of Infantry and the Second Squadron of Archers form the Second Squadron, commanded by a single section, and attack the Snake Village from the left."

"The cavalry squadron is commanded by Li Bin, sweeping the formation in the rear to intercept the fleeing snake people."

"The other troops form the third wing, which is under my command."

"Go now!"

Following an order, Li Qing descended from a high altitude and saw the troops that had been squatting in the valley slowly moving out, splitting into two groups and touching the snake village under the cover of night.

At this time, the slaves working in the fields had already returned, and the fields were empty. No one could find that a regular army was approaching the village.

It wasn't until the village was less than [-] meters away that the snake man on the village sentry tower discovered it, and a piercing alarm bell sounded in the village.

The human army did not stop, and rushed straight to the entrance of the village.

The snakemen were not afraid either, only twenty or so regular snakemen soldiers led forty or fifty vassal lizardmen rushed out with weapons, blocking the human troops at the entrance of the village.

A large number of snakemen and vassal lizardman archers with bows climbed up to the two wooden watchtowers at the entrance of the village and shot down from above.

These snake people are very powerful in frontal combat. Any one of them can suppress a fully armed regular infantry head-on. If they are singled out by human infantry, they will definitely not be able to do it.

It's a pity that there are too few snake people, and the human side is dominant here.

When Xue Yunling led the third team to arrive, the leader of the snake people in the village had already driven a large number of slaves and rushed out with hoes and axes.

There are 500 people in the whole village, even if only half of the slaves were driven here, the scale is not small.

These slaves have been enslaved for generations, and they had no intention of resisting for a long time. Driven by the snake man, they flocked to the entrance of the village, and their momentum was not low for a while.

But a slave is a slave, and no matter how high the morale is, it is impossible to be an opponent of the regular army.

Wang Yiheng, the commanding officer, only dispatched a small troop of infantry to go up, and then ordered all the archers to focus on the slaves. A wave of arrows killed less than ten slaves and wounded more than a dozen, but the blow to the morale of the slaves was fatal. Yes, suddenly became afraid.

After three waves of arrow rain in a row, more than 200 slaves lost their morale and were afraid to go forward.

Seeing this later, Xue Yunling immediately ordered the cavalry to charge the slave soldiers, and horseshoes sounded like thunder on the battlefield.

At the same time, the Second Wing had already circled to the back door behind the village and launched an attack on the back door guarding the emptiness.

At this moment, more than a dozen more well-equipped snakemen rushed out from the village. The leader was a red-scaled snakeman whose scales were different from other green-scaled snakemen. Understand the snake language.

Of course there was no response, no one could understand.

Seeing this, the snake man snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and most of the snake man rushed to the battlefield. He himself clasped his hands together and muttered something, a little red fire condensed between his hands, and quickly condensed into a huge ball of fire, hot and hot. It quickly attracted the attention of humans not far away.

"Ma's, there are third-tier mages in this small village?"

Xue Yunling was dumbfounded for a moment, and it was too late to remind him, only seeing a ball of blazing fire flying into the battlefield.

"boom!"

The dazzling flames exploded on the battlefield, covering a range of about five meters in an instant, and directly exploded in the middle of the first shooter squadron of the first wing. The screams lasted only for a moment and then stopped abruptly.

"Fuck!"

This red-scaled snakeman is a warlock hero, and this fireball technique is a heroic spell. A squadron of about fifty archers lost more than half in seconds, which can be called a heavy loss.

This loss also shocked Li Qing. Like Xue Yunling, he did not expect that there would be a legal hero above Tier [-] in a small village of snake people. This was completely beyond their expectations.

Information asymmetry on the battlefield is the consequence.

After one fireball, the snake man warlock continued to rub the second fireball.

But at this time Xue Yunling had already reacted, or the stalker hero in the team had already reacted, and disappeared without a sound.

But the second fireball technique couldn't be stopped, even if Wang Yiheng, who commanded the first team, ordered the back row to disperse, but the five-meter-diameter killing range was too large, as long as it hit, even the fourth-tier units couldn't handle it.

When the second flame exploded, the six shooters were charred.

At the same time, other troops were affected by the explosion, and their morale dropped significantly.

It is also the fact that the God's domain units are upgraded from the promotion card. Affected by the magic circle in the promotion circle, the morale threshold is very high. If it is replaced by the native army, it may collapse early.

The snake man warlock fired two fireballs in a row, with a cruel look on his face, looked at the human infantry in the front row, and started rubbing the third fireball.

But when he was about to cast a spell, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and turned around subconsciously. He saw a flash of cold light from the corner of his eye, and then his neck hurt, and his vision seemed to be spinning.

The black-clothed figure appeared and disappeared quickly, leaving behind a headless snake man who swayed and fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, the four snake guards around reacted, but it was too late.

"ended!"

Sitting on the giant eagle, Li Qing said calmly.

Without heroes, how many snake guards can there be in a village, it is impossible to be the opponent of this army.

Even if the snakemen themselves are physically stronger than humans, the minimum level of these snakemen is 9, and once they advance to level 18, they are all elite templates, and their physical fitness is 30% stronger than that of humans of the same level. A higher-level unit of the race, but the number is too small.

However, this battle also reminded him that the snake civilization of this plane is a civilization with a complete inheritance, the regular army is all elite, and there are a large number of powerful heroes, it is not the gnoll tribe that he dealt with before.

Li Qing didn't stay for long, only seeing the snake man defeated, he drove the giant eagle back.

Back at the temporary station, I saw a group of about [-] snakemen and about [-] lizardmen gathered not far from the arrow tower. There were more than a dozen dead lizardmen lying on the side of the arrow tower, either shot or burnt. .

The giant eagle stopped above the arrow tower, Li Qing jumped down, Long Shouying stepped forward and said to him:

"My lord, shortly after you left, an army of snakemen came and tried to attack once, but I repelled them."

Li Qing nodded, walked to the side of the female wall and looked outside, leaned back the next second, and a crossbow arrow passed by.

"Very fierce!"

Li Qing looked at it again, then retracted his head, and said to Long Shou:

"Don't worry about it, we'll talk about it when Xie Zhu and the others come back!"

The arrow tower is ten meters high, thick at the top and narrow at the middle, like a dumbbell. As long as the door below is blocked, they will not be able to get up.

Turning around and going down to the Tibetan soldiers layer on the next floor, Li Qing opened the door of God's Domain and entered.

The scene he saw just now taught him a lesson, making him decide to revise his original attack plan.

Even a small village has a third-tier snake-man warlock. How many can there be in this town, or fourth- and fifth-tier warlocks?
If he had to attack rashly, a larger range of heroic spells could kill all the soldiers he had worked so hard to train.

If you want to capture this town with the least loss, you must first find a way to disintegrate its defenses and kill possible powerful legal heroes.

So the question is, how to do it?

Li Qing thought hard.

His original idea was very simple. He put a few stone balls with a diameter of nearly ten meters in the space in his palm, flew to the sky above the town on a giant eagle and threw them down.

Based on the density of the stone he synthesized, the weight of thousands of cubic meters is about 1000 tons. If it is thrown from a height of more than [-] meters, even a Transcendent monster will turn into a pulp if it is hit.

The city walls were useless to him.

Even the magic tower in the center of the town couldn't withstand the bombardment.

However, this boulder is okay for hitting a fixed target, and it is basically impossible for a powerful hero to hit it.

A powerful hero also has a strong sense of danger, and the boulder may be sensed and dodged before it falls.

If a powerful hero does not die, he must fight with the lives of his subordinates.

Therefore, he had to find a way to kill the powerful heroes and defenders in the town while destroying the town's defenses.

Therefore, the general plan will not change, and the details will have to be deducted.

It's a pity that there is not enough steel on hand, there are only more than 100 parties, and it is not too big to gather them all together.

If a solid steel ball with a diameter of ten meters is made of thousands of square meters and dropped from a height of 2000 meters, it will definitely destroy the entire town with one blow.

Temporarily demolished some city walls in God's Domain and made huge stone balls into the space in the palm.

Coming out of God's Domain, the next step was to wait for An Erqiu and the others to come over.

This waited for several days, and even the snake people outside were driven away by him.

They just hid inside and came out, and the snake people couldn't help them at all.

The two troops joined together, with a total of over 100 people, which is not bad in size.

But this was not enough, Li Qing returned to God's Domain, took out the cards of 220 Imperial Infantry, [-] Imperial Archers, and [-] Imperial Cavalry that he had bought from his instructor when he left, and summoned [-] civilians from the farm to divide the arms Promotion card loaded.

By the way, I made a few big boats into the palm space.

When he left, Li Qing had already purchased a total of [-] human cards and a batch of promotion cards for imperial units from his mentor.

Considering the quantity factor, this batch of cards has not been strengthened into elites or elites. Five cards in one, it feels too worthless, at least not worthwhile when there are insufficient troops in the early stage.

At the same level, an elite would definitely not be able to defeat five ordinary templates.

Moreover, the number of troops at this stage is too small. If they are all elites, who will be used as cannon fodder?
There must be cannon fodder, otherwise it would be too wasteful to use these elites or elites that cost a lot of money to synthesize as cannon fodder.

The troops were brought out, the arrow towers were put away, several large wooden boats were taken out and thrown into the water, and the troops boarded the boats to cross the river one after another.

After crossing the big river, Li Qing first sent Xie Jin to sneak over, and the large troops hurried behind.

After a while, Xie Jin returned and brought news that there was no one in the field ahead. When they crossed the river, they had already confirmed that this plane was in a rest period at this time.

Li Qing ordered An Erqiu to be in charge of the next army, and let him march and fight according to the scheduled plan, and then soared into the sky on a giant eagle.

To the west of the town, there is a small group of people hidden in the farmland less than 200 meters away from the town.

Xue Yunling looked up at the tall magic tower in the center of the town, frowning.

His subordinate Wang Yiheng glanced at the defenders patrolling the city wall, and said in a low voice:
"Boss, we can't beat this town."

The other subordinate also nodded:
"Not to mention the power of the magic tower in the center, there are more regular snakeman defenders than us, plus the advantage of the city wall, it is impossible to capture it with our strength."

A little Xue Yunling nodded and said:

"We really can't take this town. If there is a fourth- and fifth-level mage in charge of the magic tower, even if my subordinates increase ten times, it will be difficult to take it."

"Then us?"

"Change the place, if you can't fight the town, you can attack the village. There are many snake nobles in this area, and there are dozens of affiliated villages. If we destroy more villages, the harvest will not be bad, and more importantly, there will be no risk."

"Then we withdraw?"

"Get out!"

Xue Yunling nodded, got up and left.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Qing flew to an altitude of more than 8000 meters above the town in a giant eagle. Looking down at the town at this time, it looked like a small model.

The field of vision is gray, only the light ball at the top of the magic tower is still very conspicuous.

He took this light sphere as the coordinates, and summoned a light sphere floating between his line of sight and the light sphere on the top of the tower, three points and one line, which was a straight line, and he opened the space in his palm without hesitation. The stone ball flew out of the vortex and hung straight down.

The stone ball was very fast at the beginning, faster and faster, and soon reached the extreme speed.

The weight of thousands of tons rubbed against the air at high speed to generate heat, and soon a red light appeared on the falling surface, which became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into flames and wrapped the stone ball.

Xue Yunling, who had just walked a few steps, sensed something and turned his head, and quickly raised his head, his pupils were slightly dilated, and a look of shock quickly appeared on his face.

"This"

High in the sky, a huge red meteorite descended from the sky with a long tail flame.

Like a scorching sun falling, the dark sky and earth quickly brightened, and the temperature in the air rose rapidly. Xue Yunling felt as if some terrifying existence was falling from the sky, and a terrifying pressure that made his scalp tingle and his soul tremble hit his face. Come.
