Throne of the Warlord

Chapter 9 Fierce Battle

"All archers are ready, aim at target No. [-]!"

The diameter of the God's Domain is 120 meters, and the radius is only 60 meters. The basic range of the imperial recruit archers is 90 meters. Standing on the central arrow tower of the God's Domain directly covers the entire God's Domain.

The moment the enemy appeared, Li Qing used the authority of God's Domain to make virtual digital marks on the heads of the five kobold throwers and the kobold leader.

When he gave an order, all the archers on the two arrow towers stood beside the female wall, drew their bows, took aim and began to charge.

In just three seconds, Li Qing waved his hands fiercely:

"emission!"

A total of fifteen arrows charged for three seconds drew a long arc in the air and crossed the entire domain of the gods and shot at a kobold who was stronger than his companions and held a thick stone in the kobold crowd.

In an instant, a total of 8 bloody flowers floated up.

The arrows of the elite recruits of the Empire are piercing attacks, which can cause 50% extra damage to the unarmored kobolds, and the lethality is higher than that of swords.

Then deduct the defense, deduct 20% of the level suppression, the damage is extremely considerable.

Although the kobold thrower who was focused on the fire had a level, it was only at the bottom of the first level, and its vitality was not strong. A wave of fire-focused 8 arrows hit, the damage overflowed, and he was shot like a hedgehog and fell to the ground.

And this wave of concentrated fire also awakened the somewhat confused dog-headed crowd who had just been teleported over. The kobold leader in the middle of the kobold crowd raised his stone stick in his hand and shouted angrily, and many kobolds raised their messy weapons one after another. Charge towards the tower.

"Prepare for battle!"

Li Qing loudly issued an order on the high platform:

"Infantry raise their shields, form a tight formation, line up!"

The infantry who were waiting for the battle immediately arranged in a tight formation, and thrust the tip of the triangular wooden shield in their hands into the ground, waiting for the battle.

It's a pity that there are no spearmen, otherwise a row of spearmen will stand behind the infantry, and when the enemy rushes up, they will stand behind the shield and stab them with spears.

There was no formation in the kobold's attack, and they charged freely. Twenty kobold diggers who were stronger than the kobolds rushed to the front with wooden or bone clubs.

Without an order, the archers on the two turrets nocked their arrows and drew their bows again, aiming at the kobold thrower marked with the number two mark above his head.

But this time the kobold thrower was in a charging state and it was difficult to aim. Most of the rounds of focused fire were missed. Only three shots were shot, and blood flew, and the kobold thrower also staggered and fell to the ground.

The skill level is still too low, and the bow equipped in his hand is not strong enough.

If you switch to an advanced archer, one arrow can nail the target to the ground.

But it was not a big problem. After one round, the archers quickly pulled out an arrow from the quiver and put it on the bow, starting a new round of energy accumulation.

Three seconds later, when the fastest kobold digger was about to engage the infantry, the third round of focused fire knocked down the injured No. [-] target to the ground.

Then, the front row was hand-to-hand, and a group of kobolds rushed into the gap in the stone wall to meet the infantry guarding the opening.

In an instant, there were more than a dozen dull sounds of stone sticks hitting the wooden shield, and more than a dozen sounds of swords piercing and tearing flesh.

Li Qing could see clearly from the condescending position that the recruits from the empire who attacked his side this time were actually at a disadvantage. Although humans were taller and bigger than the kobolds, the kobold diggers in the front row were Tier [-] troops, and they were extremely powerful because of their years of digging. powerful.

If they didn't form a tight formation and have wooden shields to cushion the damage, normal 0-tier recruits would not be able to withstand the impact of tier-[-] units.

But as long as you can bear it, it will be fine.

The infantry's wooden shield has durability that ignores various modifiers, and can actually offset certain types of damage.

After a round of impact, the infantry raised their swords and stabbed forward against the wooden shield, and the infantry behind the first row of infantry also raised their swords and slashed forward over the shoulders of their companions. The sound of muscle tearing was endless.

But the kobolds can also huddle in a pile and go over the front row of companions and smash with wooden sticks, smashing the wooden shields.

Although the kobold diggers in the first row had a rank advantage, they couldn't hurt the human recruits until they smashed the shield.

However, the recruit's shield can't last long. The damage of the first-order kobold diggers is extremely high, and four sticks can be smashed.

With so many kobolds crowded together, the shields of two recruits were smashed in two rounds. A kobold excavator excitedly threw down his stick, and the recruits immediately raised their swords to parry.

With a crisp sound of "铛", the long sword was smashed, and immediately another kobold made up with a stick.

The recruit tilted his head, and the bone stick hit the recruit's shoulder. There was a crisp 'click' sound, and the recruit tilted to the side with a muffled grunt.

Seeing this, Li Qing immediately shouted:

"Drag out the injured and make up for the latter."

But although the order was issued in time, the subordinates did not react so quickly. As soon as the words fell, a few big bone sticks hit the recruit's chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out amidst the crisp sound of bone cracking, and he died on the spot.

"Damn, when you enroll in school, you have to find a hero who is good at training soldiers. This reaction is not good."

But this is all for the future, and now the far water can't quench the near thirst.

"As soon as the shield is broken, retreat immediately and let the one behind come up."

"The archers continue to focus on the remaining targets."

"Cavalry at the ready"

Li Qing didn't panic, and continued to give orders one by one.

After giving this order, he turned and left the third floor of the tower, quickly went down to the door on the first floor, and came to the edge of the stone wall surrounding the gate of the tower.

There is a pile of overlapping square stones that have been tampered with a long time ago, and there are many logs under it, which can be pushed with a push.

These wild kobolds have limited IQ, even if they see logs under the rocks, they can't think of the mystery inside.

Li Qing called five cavalrymen to push the stone away to reveal a gap of one meter. The cavalrymen who had prepared earlier came out of the passage immediately, and he pushed the stone back to block the gap.

It's a pity that he is in the assessment at this time, so he dare not use the golden finger.

Otherwise, he would definitely fly to the top of the kobold with a pile of stones and throw stones down.

A stone with a diameter of two to three meters was smashed down from a height of tens of meters, even if the leader of the third-rank kobold came over, it would be smashed into meatloaf.

At this time, all the kobolds were concentrated at the only exit in God's Domain, and there were only scattered kobolds who couldn't squeeze in in other places. When they saw the five cavalrymen, they immediately rushed over screaming, and at the same time attracted some people who couldn't squeeze in at the door. The kobolds came after them.

But the kobold's speed couldn't catch up with the cavalry, and it quickly got rid of it.

"Assembly array!"

After opening the distance, the five cavalry reunited and lined up.

Li Qing, who had returned to the third floor of the tower, immediately ordered:
"charge!"

The five light cavalrymen immediately raised their spears and put them under their armpits. The body of the guns was attached to the shoulders and necks of the horses. The point of the guns slanted down, and the horses accelerated towards the oncoming kobolds.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"boom!"

Five cavalrymen lined up slammed into the crowd of kobolds. Two kobolds were directly knocked into the air by the horses, and three were hit by lances and passed through the chest.

Without accident, the three kobolds were killed in one shot.

Many bones that were knocked into the air were broken and lost the ability to fight.

"Reassemble the array!"

"charge!"

After rushing out more than 30 meters, the knights who turned around and re-arranged accelerated again. This time the kobolds did not dare to charge, but fled in all directions, most of them fled to the crowd of kobolds who were besieging the pass.

A few seconds later, the rapid sound of hooves was accompanied by the neighing of the horse, and the sound of the spear being pierced through the chest was mixed with the sound of broken bones.

The war horse galloped past, leaving four kobold corpses behind.

The rampage of the cavalry quickly attracted the attention of the commanding kobold leader. After a strange cry, about half of the kobolds were separated to meet the five cavalry.

At the time when the battle at the pass was at its most intense, the corpses of three human recruits were mixed with the kobold corpses all over the ground.

Although the defenses were constantly changing, and Li Qing's orders were timely, the recruits' response to the orders was too slow. In this kind of fierce hand-to-hand combat, if they reacted slowly, they might die on the spot.

Among the ordinary recruits in the front row, except for the three who died, the remaining seven were all wounded, but they survived the most difficult wave.

When the other half of the kobolds were transferred to besiege and kill the cavalry, the pressure dropped a lot in an instant.

At this time, Li Qing ordered the elite recruits who had been staying behind to prepare for defense, and then ordered the front infantry to retreat.

At the same time, four of the five second-tier kobold throwers of the invaders died under the constant fire of fifteen archers, leaving only the last one.

"Continue to focus!"

There is no operation to speak of next, just focus on the fire step by step, the cavalry charge back and forth, and the infantry carry it head-on.

As long as the archers kill the last kobold thrower, they can support the infantry from a distance.

Without a single ranged unit, the kobolds are bound to lose.

Li Qing stood on the third-floor platform of the high tower, watching the tragic killing scene below, the muscles on his face couldn't help shaking, but he still didn't do anything.

Ten seconds later, after two rounds of concentrated fire, the last kobold thrower was shot.

Five level 20 kobold throwers were stared at and killed from the moment they appeared on the stage, and they were all killed without any performance.

Only at this moment did Li Qing show a gleam of joy, and immediately ordered the archers on the arrow tower to aim at the kobolds in the pass and scatter freely to support them.

At this time, two more imperial recruits were chased and killed by kobolds during the retreat, but they were blocked by five elite imperial recruits.

Arrows rained down from the sky and fell into the crowd of kobolds. There were only eighteen kobolds left who were shot and screamed, trying to dodge everywhere but there was nowhere to dodge in the narrow passage.

It is very difficult for a level 5 archer to shoot a level 20 kobold thrower, but it is still very easy to shoot a level [-] kobold thrower. Generally, two arrows can take away one.

The imperial cavalry on the other side was still unscathed at this time. The kobolds who had neither long range nor spears could not even intercept them. How could they resist the cavalry who kept charging back and forth?

At this point in the battle, this battle is basically guaranteed to win.

It's just that the loss is a bit big, and now 5 recruits and infantry have been killed.

But this is all within reason, there is no such thing as an immortal in war.

Moreover, the surviving units will gain combat experience and upgrade their ranks after going through battles, and their overall strength will not decrease but increase.

Don't ask why the assessment of choosing a mentor is so difficult. With so many soldiers killed at once, what should a lord of ordinary civilian background do?
Who will care what you do, you are not strong enough to honestly choose a one-star or two-star mentor, isn't it good?

Whenever risks and benefits coexist, other tutors use real resources to train you. Is there a problem with screening out the weak?
Don't say that you can't screen out potential ones with this method.

You have just started school and haven't started to learn supernatural power, who knows if you have potential.

But as long as you have enough resources, a pig can also pile up into a powerful monster.

In other words, having a lot of resource support is actually a kind of talent.

The selection of tutors in the first semester depends on the resources you have, and then on the talent of commanding, and the others are ignored.

Only when the training is officially started, and the students learn the extraordinary power by themselves, will they know whether you have talent or not.

Focus on cultivation with talent, general training with mediocre talent, and give up those with poor talent, it's as simple as that.

Of course, there is actually another hidden factor in the reason for the unexpected talent in the early stage, and that is to give the low-star mentor a chance to turn around.

After all, with the capital of the instructors, it is not difficult to test the talents of the students.

But if you do this, the low-star mentors will have no chance.

The rich and capital let you choose, and all the talented people are also screened out, so it’s a fart.

The ensuing battle was as he had expected. Waves of arrows rained down, and a large number of kobolds fell into the rain of arrows. The infantry fought and retreated until they reached the core of God's Domain. Big price.

By the time they reached the gate of the core of God's Domain, there were only seven kobolds left.

On the other side, the cavalry battle was about to come to an end. The slow-moving kobolds couldn't help the cavalry at all. They were flying kites back and forth and charging back and forth. At this time, only a dozen of them died.

One thing surprised Li Qing. Logically speaking, given the cowardice of the kobolds, with such a high number of casualties, they should have collapsed early.

But now that the casualties have exceeded two-thirds, and they are still fighting to the death, this is either drugged or buffed.

According to this combat power, the apprentices of the war lord who are weaker than Li Qing are probably a little bit too tough, and they will suffer heavy losses if they win.

After 2 minutes, the kobolds at the gate of the tower were killed.

Li Qing immediately ordered the cavalry not to go around in circles behind, but to lead the kobolds to the front of the arrow tower, and use the archers on the arrow tower to speed up the killing of these kobolds, and let the archers accumulate more combat experience to upgrade.

Most of the kobolds in this battle were shot and killed by archers, but after sharing among fifteen archers, the accumulated combat experience was not enough for any recruit to be promoted.

Li Qing said that he had nothing to say about this, and he could only say that the difficulty of upgrading the arms was higher than expected.

This further shows that advanced arms are more rare.

According to this probability of death in battle.
Ranged units are okay, but melee units are difficult.

But that's all for the future, and now the focus is on the present.

After fifteen shooters worked hard to kill, it took only four minutes to finally shoot and kill more than a dozen kobolds walking around the tower one by one, including the second-rank kobold leader.

This guy is thick-skinned and fast. Half of the 4 minutes are spent shooting it.

"You commanded the victory of a small battle, gained 342 strategic experience points, and the current experience is 342/10000."
