Lord of the Abyss 2

Collisions between forces and forces, between armies and armies, often start with spies and scouts. Duergar scouts are elite veterans of the clan, extremely powerful in combat, and are equipped with crossbows, and have low-level priests follow.

On Luo Ling's side, a few goblins were led by the hobgoblin. The battle started when the gray dwarf's scouts accidentally touched an early warning mechanism. In the darkness, the goblins first fired a few flare bombs. The goblin scouts are fired from the magic energy launcher. The launcher can only be regarded as a product of tricks. It is very simple, but it is still very useful for goblins who do not have superior visual ability.

The light of the flare bombs was too dazzling for the gray dwarves, so they immediately chose to crouch on the spot and protect themselves with shields.The blind fighting abilities of the gray dwarves are very good, and this simple trick of adapting to all kinds of changes is also very good at using it.Only this time they encountered a long fire gun that could easily shoot over 100 meters.

The time of the flare bomb is longer than the gray dwarves imagined, especially the second-class combustion. The light is equal to the light emitted by a larger bright-topped mushroom, but it is very continuous and stable.The gray dwarf scouts had heard from their fellow clansmen who fled back from the patrol that their opponent had a long-range magic-energy shooting weapon, but they still underestimated the power of the long-fire blunderbuss. One gray dwarf couldn't bear to wait and just stood up.

puff!puff!Body, forehead, fire, sparks, miniature version of meteorite impact effect, the gray dwarf immediately fell on his back and remained motionless.

The remaining few gray dwarves glanced at the dead with indifferent eyes, and then turned their eyes to the darkness in the distance.The dark vision of the gray dwarves is very keen. They just saw the little fire light produced by the long fire gun through the viewing hole on the shield, and estimated the distance. The power of the crossbow in their hands is not enough at this distance. Fatal, and more importantly, beyond their identification line of sight.

The little leader of the scouts squatted forward holding the shield, walked to the front of the team, raised a finger, and raised it backwards. The one who was the last among the scouts quickly retreated into the darkness and went back to report.

The little boss beckoned to move forward again, and then crouched forward with the shield on top.

Several other scouts followed suit.

A gray dwarf who passed by the flare bomb took off his war hammer from his waistband and swung the hammer to try to destroy the flare bomb. As soon as his arm came out of the shield's protection range, chi chi!Several raindrop-sized but extremely dazzling fire balls flashed by, and two of them hit.Hands, arms, pair wear.

Bang!The warhammer fell to the ground, and at the same time, the gray dwarf let out a suppressed groan.

Now, the gray dwarf scouts became more cautious, shrank behind their shields and moved forward, saying that they moved, and the speed was similar to that of ordinary people walking.

Just passing through the area illuminated by the flare, two flares were fired from the opposite side.The gray dwarves who wanted to stand up and stretch their waists had to give up this plan.

While cursing in their hearts, the gray dwarves continued to move forward. As a result, they soon discovered that the other party was a bunch of scumbags. They entered each other and kept a distance of more than [-] meters.

Endure it!The passage in the dark area is not a straight road on the surface, the gray dwarf scout thought, you should not retreat when you encounter corners, obstacles and other terrains, right?A retreat is equivalent to retreating a distance of more than [-] meters.The goblins did not retreat, but they were all lying on the ground, and they found a shallow pothole, only half of their head and two arms were exposed, a long firecracker, and a crystal steel helmet on their heads.

This kind of helmet, which is shaped like half a watermelon and has grooves for ears dug out on both sides, was not promoted by Luo Ling, but invented by Gregory. According to his original words: Goblins only need this protective gear.

The gray dwarves finally saw their opponents. According to the thermal imaging, the gray dwarves judged the identities of the goblins.This kind of result made them feel ashamed of being tripped over by elephants and ants. When will even goblins be able to challenge the gray dwarves?

The crossbow in his hand shot a round tentatively, but it didn't cause any damage. On the contrary, another one of his side was injured in the arm.

The bullet shooting effect of the long-fire gun is a bit like a dum bullet. Although it mainly deals with penetrating damage, the expansion damage to the surrounding area is not small. A bullet the size of the belly of an index finger can blast out a little more than a quail egg. Larger holes, even if the gray dwarves have high physical resistance, it is no problem to open a hole the size of a pigeon egg. It hurts tendons and bones, and the treatment of minor injuries is not enough, but the treatment of moderate injuries is slightly excessive. The priest also felt that the designer of the weapon was quite wicked.

There is a limit to the amount of divine spells that can be used. This gray dwarf priest chose a combination of small healing techniques and potions, and hastily healed the injuries of the two gray dwarves. Some distances, under such circumstances, are equivalent to reducing the combat effectiveness of the two gray dwarves by about 40%.

"What should I do?" The gray dwarf leader looked at the six people behind him, two wounded and one non-combat. "Retreat?" The little boss quickly vetoed this idea. If he retreated, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame and defeated by the goblins.

"Go! Close combat!" After the little boss made up his mind, he put away his hand crossbow and gripped his warhammer tightly.

The rest of the gray dwarves followed suit, ready for close combat.

boom!boom!When the distance is less than 50 meters, the goblins start to ignore the shields of the gray dwarves and shoot. The shields of the gray dwarves are made of a kind of dense and hard tan wood with iron hoops. On the ground, he was able to drill a hole in the shield. Although he was no longer able to hurt people, this power still surprised the gray dwarves.

Even so, the little bosses decided to move on, he knew what the goblins were helping.At the same time, the priest in the group also took action, and he cast a dark spell as far as the spell could reach.

The darkness technique can produce a supernatural darkness with a radius of about 6 meters. This kind of darkness cannot be penetrated even by the dark vision of the gray dwarves.Goblins naturally can't see it.With its presence, the goblins' close-range shooting threat will be greatly reduced.

Sure enough, the goblins started shooting randomly, and there were sounds of crawling and running.

The little head of the gray dwarf sneered in his heart: "Sure enough, I'm back!"

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the sneer quickly turned into a wail, and two explosive fires with a diameter of about five meters suddenly broke out, burning the little leader of the gray dwarf into a fire man, and died quickly, even a nearby gray dwarf The dwarves were all affected and burned.

It turned out that the goblins didn't retreat, but took advantage of the dark technique to rush out and plant mines.As a result, the little leader of the gray dwarves who took the lead was hit by this instant fire mine.This fire mine is actually a simplified version of the elemental bomb Luo Ling used. It can be thrown or planted. The method of burying is very simple. Pull a wire between the two mines. Once touched, both of them explode.

After the little boss died, the command of the team automatically fell to the second-level priest.The priest of the gray dwarf was not as brave as the little boss, and ordered the team to take cover nearby and wait for help.

A few minutes later, the effect of the darkness technique dissipated, and the goblins had disappeared from the opposite position.The gray dwarves didn't know whether to rejoice or feel sad. The pastor made a low-level mistake at this time. He was not sure about the specific situation of the little boss just now because of the influence of the dark art. At this time, he went up to confirm .Because there was no one in the opposite position, he thought that this round of confrontation was over, so he stood up straight with his shield in his hand and walked towards the little boss who fell on the ground.

At this moment, several goblins suddenly jumped out from behind the turn, and with one shot, the priest was shot twice in a row, and was killed at the time!By the time the other dwarves fought back with their crossbows, the goblins had already slipped away, and the gray dwarves heard the goblins arguing over who missed the shot.This time, the gray dwarves were really left with nothing but frustration.

When the leading gray dwarf general learned of this situation, he wished to hang the remaining survivors to death immediately, but in the end he calmed down a bit, and only organized those gray dwarves into the first batch of stormtroopers in the ensuing battle .

"A lowly, lowly, obscene and cowardly goblin has the courage to charge and lay traps!?" The gray dwarf's general didn't give it in vain, he could still see the hidden information revealed behind some events.He knew that a strong army was forged by constant victories, and those goblins had such courage, which meant that they had always won before, which made them fatter.

"Did it really kick down the iron plate?" The gray dwarf general imagined a group composed of several races, and also possessed some novel magic weapons. "Behind these, there should be a powerful individual or several powerful individuals standing. What is it? A lich preparing to move to the depths of the Underdark? Or an organization that is expanding?"

The gray dwarves searched all over their memories, but they couldn't find any group whose fighting style was similar to this opponent's. "Order the heavy infantry to clear the way, and the warlocks and priests will follow."

"Yes!"

"Go and urge those deep giants and deep orcs again. Our property has already been smashed in, and I want to hear the sound."

"Yes!"

As the order was communicated, the heavy armored infantry unloaded the armor from the pack animals and armed the entire column.The heavy infantry of the gray dwarves are famous for their steel torrents, but these torrents must be strong enough to flow, and they must not be tired during non-combat moments.It is safe to advance like this now, but it will consume more combat power.

But no one dared to question the order of the gray dwarf general. This gray dwarf named Kamshe had the experience of commanding eleven large-scale battles without a defeat. He could be said to be the most commanding general in this region.

"Morale, we can't be dampened by the enemy's piecemeal attacks. There is also time. Every extra time for the enemy to prepare is cruel to ourselves."

The gray dwarf general's idea is indeed correct from a certain point of view. In the face of the formation of heavy infantry plus warlocks and priests, the goblin's set of wandering fights is useless.

In a blink of an eye, soldiers are already approaching the city.

The passage at the end of Mutland is quite wide, with a width of more than 2000 meters, an average height of more than [-] meters, and a depth of more than [-] meters. It is only slightly narrowed near the entrance to the dome, and it exceeds the width of [-] meters. , and the defensive line of Luo Ling's army is a rock barrier lined up like a wall after shrinking.

"Array, assemble trebuchet!"

In large-scale battles, there are usually things such as ballistas and rock-slinging machines. Dashi can hit the point, and Shiyu can hit the face. Adding kerosene, the power is even greater.This gray dwarf clan did not lose the face of the dwarves in the race. The heavy-swinging stone machine made by it can throw more than 400 kilograms of stone bullets 800 meters away. The distance of the large trebuchet can be said to be quite terrifying.

It's just that when I met Luo Ling, an outsider, it was doomed that this kind of trebuchet, which made all the residents of the dungeon with a radius of several hundred miles, could only be a tragedy.The test distance of the lava stone machine behind the previous rock barrier is 1200 meters...

After a lot of busy work, the gray dwarf army formed an array at a distance of about 700 meters from the rock barrier. After the formation, five trebuchets were assembled, and there were technicians and coolies who were responsible for mining stones. The stone bullets were filled into the pockets.

Crack!Boom!The process of launching the trebuchet seems to be quite exciting. The huge heavy pendulum drives the long swing arm, and at the end of the swing arm, the soft throwing belt is connected to the throwing pocket. a feeling of.

Tom!The dull sound came more than ten seconds later, and they couldn't see it, but the gray dwarves knew that the first strike was an accurate hit.With this sound, they seemed to see an extra depression and dozens of cracks, large and small, on the city wall.

Woohoo!The dwarves cheered in unison, led by their commander.The huge sound spreads in the dark area, echoing lang after lang, which often brings huge psychological pressure to the opponent, because you don't know how many people are there in the dark.

The corner of Kamxie's mouth curled up slightly, "Put on the cupping pot."

The cupping tank is also called the fuel tank. Although the burning is fierce, the more important thing is to illuminate the target.In the Underdark, especially the Deep and below, natural light sources go out with jaw-dropping frequency, while magical light sources attract attackers like rotten fruit attracts flies.The gray dwarves paid great attention to this point, so even their warlock group did not have any magical artifacts that shone with magical light, and it would take a long time to make the target shine and become a conspicuous target.

The cupping jar is filled, lit, and boom!Flying out, under the gaze of everyone, draws an arc of eyebrows in the void, and then, bang!Suddenly it exploded in mid-air and turned into a day of scattered and flowing fire.

Roar!

This time, it was the defensive side that roared.

On the rock barrier, Obuk ​​grinned and laughed.The one that knocked down the tin can was the long-fire blunderbuss he modified himself, or it should be called the rough wind cannon.The caliber is thicker than that of a rocket launcher, and it is powered by wind. When it is launched, it is like blowing up a thick-skinned balloon, boom!With a bang, the recoil force is huge, but the effect is obvious.

"Five cans!" Kamxie raised his hand and let the five trebuchets launch at full power.

Hurrah!Five cupping cans lifted into the air.

"What is this? It's far from playing a flying saucer. It's strange if you can't!" Many dwarves in the Self-Defense Force had this idea.In order to deal with air units, they usually use flying saucer machines in practice, throwing stone discs, which are much faster than the plastic Frisbees on Earth.This kind of cupping can with a beautiful parabola has enough time for them to aim and shoot.

Tsk... A rain of bullets blasted into the air, and one of the five cupping jars turned into a sprinkling of fire, burning an area more than a hundred meters away in front of the barrier into a sea of ​​flames.

"Stone bomb!" As the main attacker, Kamxie was not in a hurry.If the opponent didn't come out to fight, he would smash the opponent's city defense into ruins little by little to see how they defended.Besides, he was waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Tom!Tom!Tom!The gray dwarves in the formation know that there are no twenty rounds of stone bullets, and Kamshe will not order to stop. Kamshe's tactics have always been very stable, and the war presided over by him will not lose. How many people will die, and once you win, it is often a big victory.

On the other side, as the commander, Seken's strategy is very forbearing. The position of the opponent's catapult machine has been marked. He is confident that he will destroy all five catapult machines in at most three rounds, but he wants the enemy to get closer. And the rock barrier made of rock and iron is also in charge, and the damage caused by the opponent's stone bullets is very slight, which makes him also very stable.

"Aiti, is your Phobos activation technique okay?" Seken confirmed again.

"No problem, each person controls one, cast spells instantly, there will be no mistakes." Aiti, the fire dwarf, answered with certainty.

"Yeah." A cruel smile curled up at the corner of Seken's mouth. Not long ago, he saw a Phobos lose his temper. He felt that with a hundred Phobos instead of two hundred, the other party would know what it means to collapse.Wait for a while, he is going to come to a celestial girl to scatter flowers, a magic soldier and a general...

At the same time, Luo Ling was in his room, researching the alchemy potion whose main material was gas bugs. He was trying to understand the kind that could form a tree.
