243. Chapter 243 Breaking the Deadlock and Controlling the Rhythm
Because of the protection of "war energy" and armor, the defense of advanced knights is far greater than that of ordinary knights, and ordinary attacks can even be called "ineffective". Therefore, the existence of the three advanced knights can be called "flags".
For this mixed force, as long as they do not fall, their morale will not decrease.
However, at this moment, Roddy's arrow easily killed an advanced knight, making the knights whose morale had just become high collectively silenced...
But this arrow is far from the end of a nightmare, but it is the beginning of a series of terrible blows.
"puff!"
An arrow penetrated a knight's abdomen. The special effect of [Frost Thorn] triggered, and a large piece of hexagonal frost condensed on the metal armor, causing the knight to cover his stomach with a muffled groan.
Three seconds later, the second arrow was nailed to the head of the knight beside him - the metal helmet "click" was completely penetrated, causing the dead knight to fall down from his horse...
When this situation occurred, the other knights thought it was caused by the ten scouts standing on the roof before, but then they found that the scouts had long disappeared.
Muffled groans sounded one after another. Every three seconds, a knight fighting in the front row was shot into an arrow... Some were shot on the shoulder and were chopped down by the scout because they could not raise the sword; some were shot directly through the throat and died on the spot
.
One or two were normal to suffer damage, but when five knights died and seven were injured to varying degrees, they all began to realize that the shooter standing in the shadow was probably much more terrifying than the cavalrymen in front of them!
The arrows were still firing slowly, and the intervals of more than three seconds were very regular, but the knights became frightened birds, and the fighting movements became scared...
After fifteen consecutive arrows hit the target, Roddy naturally took the third last arrow in the quiver, looking at the cooling bar of "concentrating shooting". After the CD ended, he activated this again
Skill!
The effect of "radical shooting" is "increase the basic attack speed by 5%, increase the attack speed by 2% per hit, and stack up to 10 times". The previous point shot has been stacked ten times, so at this time, Roddy's skill release speed is
The 2-second increase was 25%, and the preparation was completed in just one and a half seconds!
The seemingly ordinary arrow actually increased its power by 52% (12% concentration shooting + 40% talent bonus). Roddy's arrow shot out, and the target was to face the advanced knight of Soderol!
"Click!"
The arrow suddenly hit the knight's arm armor - Roddy shot so many arrows, and the other party had already noticed his existence, so this attack was expected and he was firmly blocked by him with metal arm armor...
But when the arrow was bounced away by the arm armor, the huge force still caused the knight's body's center of gravity to deflect a little.
Losing the center of gravity was only a short time. The advanced knight just frowned slightly, but he was not worried that the second arrow would attack at this time...
But he guessed wrongly.
Roddy not only shot the next arrow, but also the third arrow came out under the buff of "rapid shooting" - the previous series of slow shootings were completely a cover, and "concentrating shooting" cooperated with
Extreme rapid shooting is Roddy's real killer weapon!
The two arrows last shot in the quiver were almost the same as the landing points, and shot through the advanced knight's neck at a distance of 27 meters.
His body fell off his horse with a "thump" and fell in front of Soderol.
The three advanced knights died two consecutively in two minutes. Such a blow completely lost all the morale that the team had just increased and completely disintegrated...
"kill!"
In contrast, the scouts who had never retreated for a moment suddenly had a strong morale. They roared loudly and suppressed the enemy back with an almost crazy offensive!
Roddy's arrows were shot all, and the enemies on the battlefield also began to be defeated completely because of his last three arrows.
"Akasha! Save people!"
"Reserve team, assist in evacuation!"
The command sounded one after another, and the soldiers who were originally shooting archers on the roof immediately rushed into the battlefield on horseback to treat the wounded. The battle just now was extremely dangerous, and it could even be called a arduous battle that the scouts had never encountered before. The fifty people who went into battle were in battle.
Among them, more than 30 people were injured, eleven of which were extremely serious and fatal injuries...
In contrast, forty-three enemies also died or were seriously injured - they could survive until now and collapse because they had the belief that "support will arrive soon", but the two advanced knights
Death became a straw that broke the camel's back, causing the situation where there was hope to collapse instantly.
Under normal circumstances, this battle will be a complete loss of both sides.
However, the potion left by Ansadin played a despicable role at this time, because no one died until the enemy fled!
Akasha knocked two bottles of "intermediate spell potion" in a row, trying her best to pull the seriously injured soldiers back from the brink of death - all the "intermediate healing potion" distributed were taken, and some even
Drink four bottles!
If calculated based on the numerical values, the health values recovered by "Divine Techniques" and "Potions" have reached twice the sum of the health values of the entire team.
Such things have never happened to elite PVE players, but Roddy has made his team a tough and "undead" legion with his own preparation!
However, potions and magical techniques are not omnipotent. Their effects will be greatly weakened due to continuous use. Therefore, many seriously injured soldiers at this time have saved their lives, but they have completely lost their combat effectiveness. At least seven people in the entire team were forced to death.
He helped the war horse, but until he left, the cavalry regiment did not give up any of his companions and kept up with the team!
This time, it was a real retreat.
Whether it is a soldier or a war horse, his physical strength is approaching his limit at this time, and it is meaningless to continue fighting again - Roddy also rode a war horse, and joined Ruger in the rear of the team at the rear. He was exhausted at this time.
Even the strength to pull the bow was not enough, and even the fingers holding the reins were trembling slightly.
"then!"
Seeing the huge wound on Ruger's left shoulder with armor, Roddy raised his hand and threw the healing potion he brought over. The latter reached out to catch it without talking nonsense. He pulled out the plug and drank the sixth drink today.
The bottle of potion was poured in, causing a little blood to regain its pale face.
"They are surrounding us, and the cavalry know where we are going!"
Ruger looked around and said loudly to Roddy.
"Accelerate, don't fall behind! If those guys have brains, we will definitely be able to run out!"
Roddy's answer made Ruger a little confused, but he had no time to think about other issues at this time. He just tried to coordinate his tired body with the war horse, and followed the team toward the south of the town...
*******
"I actually let them run away again!?"
Earl Durant listened to the soldiers' witness report, and the shock in his tone was no longer concealed.
Earl Owen's eyelids trembled a few times, and the other lords looked at each other - they really couldn't imagine that an "elite cavalry regiment" with elemental divisions helped, cooperated with thousands of soldiers to collectively siege a group of only a hundred people.
How come the team fail repeatedly?
The surprise did not last long, but the news that came one after another almost shocked the lords!
"Master Cohen died!"
"The cavalry regiment suffered serious losses, only nine people returned!"
"Knight Forlee was killed!"
"The Buffalo Knights died!"
These two knights are the advanced knights that Count Irving has always been proud of. When he just sent out three advanced knights, his worst expectation was nothing more than "tracking failure", but he never thought that he would suffer serious losses.
To this point!
"All... are dead?"
Earl Durant swallowed, and even tremoloed in his tone, as if he was being pinched on his neck.
"The enemy is evacuating from the town."
"They remain full--no casualties have been reported at this time..."
If the previous few news has surprised the lords, this news makes them feel an unspeakable chill in their hearts.
The sentence "no casualties" has a terrible lethality.
The three-layer defense line, two encirclements, had a total of at least 800 troops encountered, and no one died so far... This sounds incredible!
Because they had not witnessed the battle scenes of this team with their own eyes, the lords could never judge the combat effectiveness of these cavalry - but judging from the current reports, is their strength... stronger than advanced knights?
Although they did not believe in this possibility, but the facts were right in front of them, they had to make similar judgments and quickly change their strategies in fear-
"You can't fight them in the town... There must be something wrong with this!"
"Pull all the troops outside the town and surround and kill in the open area!"
"If you use the number of people, you must die! You can't let them escape!"
Hate is one thing, but self-consideration is another... Every lord suffers a loss at the hands of this team, but he really wants to fight, but he definitely has no courage to force himself.
This is why Roddy had to engage in an "annihilation battle" in the town: only by using thunder to beat them up and be afraid, can his own team create initiative in their disadvantages and leverage the balance of victory!
The so-called "thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy", many people understand it simply "if you can't beat it, run away", but Roddy is very clear that the true meaning of "going" lies entirely in preparing through "retreat".
"****".
From appearing outside Kiger Town to now, Roddy has accomplished three goals he initially set: "Save his own soldiers", "Let the vulnerable troops evacuate" and "Concentrate superior forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy's elite troops".
In the process, the lords were always constantly revising their decisions based on Roddy's actions, and when they were finally deterred by his madness and allowed them to leave the town and dare not continue to surround them, the rhythm of the battle...
