Spanning in front of the adventurer is a castle about 450 meters wide.
Unlike traditional medieval castles, Cui Fank does not have a tall central tower, nor does it have arrow towers rising everywhere.
The entire castle is a stepped building built on the back of a mountain. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the outside on one side. It extends upward along the mountain road in a staircase shape.
Among them, the outer wall of the castle is the shortest, only about three meters high.
On the city wall are rows of guard posts distributed in a grid pattern. Each guard post is equipped with a sexton, a high-level bloody skeleton mage and a berserker, with a spacing of five meters.
The entire castle defense line has a total of nine floors, with a total height of about 40 meters. Due to the width at the bottom and the sharp top, the defense line becomes shorter as you go up, and the number of monsters is relatively reduced, but the strength of the monsters guarding each guard post is relatively small.
Enhancement. Starting from the second ladder, the King of Night, Flesh Hunter, Scarab, and Cantor appear one after another.
The castle itself has three staircase passages, which are like three dividing lines dividing the triangular castle into three equal parts. This allows the defenders to mobilize troops through these passages to help defend a certain critical area. There are also circles in the sky.
Hidden Crow with a small amount of blood, although the number is not large, but as a support force can rush to every corner of the battlefield as soon as possible.
The entire castle is made of white stone. From a distance, it looks like a white pyramid. The nine steps are covered with densely packed attack points, as if rows of cannon muzzles are aimed at adventurers in the distance - if we talk about Kuras.
Te is still considered a city, so Cui Fanke is basically a fortress.
This scene almost drove the adventurers collectively crazy.
This is the most disgusting thing they have ever seen done in the bloody city!
If it were placed in the human world in the past, building this kind of fortress would only make people laugh. Built around a mountain, with pyramid-like echelon defense and multi-level cross-fire, it is indeed powerful enough and easy to defend. But the problem is that this kind of fortress cannot be defended at all.
It is uninhabitable, it is not located on a major transportation route, and it cannot provide a living area. It can be said that it has no offensive value strategically. Even the most foolish king and the most whimsical decision cannot give birth to such an existence.
Different environments create different needs, which also give rise to different development directions - for bloody cities, it never needs to consider issues such as strategy, population, geographical factors, etc.
Someone began to yell and curse: "Damn, how can we fight here? This is just an artillery position!"
Another person said: "There is not even a city gate. It is obvious that we can only climb the city wall and use it as a target."
Someone with sharp eyes counted: "Ninety on the first floor, eighty on the second floor, all the way to the ninth floor, a total of four hundred and fifty turrets, with two ranged monsters and one melee monster in each turret.
There are a total of 1,350 monsters. There are about a hundred flying monsters in the air. Adding mobile monsters and guards, the number of monsters is estimated to be about 1,770. This does not include the possibility of new high-level monsters and three bosses."
Someone added: "It is less than fifty meters high and less than five hundred meters wide. The opponent's range will not be less than two to four hundred meters. That means no matter which angle we attack from, we will be attacked by at least hundreds of firepower points."
Damn it, one volley will kill you! There are only about thirty of us in total, and we all fell down before we could rush forward."
Some people began to give up their ideas: "This battle is impossible to fight. I think we should give up and go back to fight the Spider Cave and Huge Wetland."
With the completion of the third and fourth missions, most adventurers have escaped from the critical point of life and death.
For them, after getting rid of the threat of death, continuing to fight a mission that will pay a heavy price is destined to be a bad deal. Cui Fanke's almost perverted defense made quite a few adventurers retreat. Originally expected The withdrawal phenomenon that appeared in the sixth mission actually appeared in advance for Cui Fanke.
"What should we do now?" King Kong Honglang was also anxious.
If Cui Fanke cannot be defeated, all of Shen Yi's follow-up plans will be out of the question.
"Don't worry." Shen Yi glanced at the fortress in the distance and said slowly: "It's definitely not possible to charge them hard. We have to think of a way to see if we can lure them out and fight."
He took out the Shooting Moon and used the Moon Mark skill on a church sexton who was far away.
Skill Moon Mark: Use Moon Mark on any visible target within a range of 800 meters. A half-moon mark with a strong flash will appear on the target, becoming a vulnerable light source point for one minute. Use Moon Shooting to target the target. When the marked person attacks, the bullet ignores the range, the damage is increased by 0.5 times, and the damage of other guns is increased by 0.2 times. This skill consumes two points of spirit and has a one-minute cooling time.
He didn't use this moon mark to increase its lethality, but because of its special effect of ignoring distance at this moment.
Several rounds of bullets locked on the sexton and flew towards him. Just as he was about to hit the target, the berserker next to him suddenly raised his ax and struck down. As the sharp light of the ax passed by, the flying shadow of the ax actually knocked down all the flying bullets. .
"Damn it!" Shen Yi yelled.
Berserkers are the most powerful unit currently appearing in the third difficulty. They have quick reactions and fierce attacks. With them guarding the turret, it is really difficult for ordinary long-range attacks to be effective. Especially now that the distance is too far, Berserkers can easily capture them. intercept the bullet's flight path.
He turned and shouted: "Arias, give me the gun!"
Barrett drew an arc in the air and fell into Shen Yi's hands. Shen Yi grabbed the gun and jumped into the car: "Yi Yu, drive the car to a stop eight hundred meters away from the fortress!"
"I know!" Zhou Yiyu drove towards Cui Fanke. When he was about 800 meters away, Zhou Yiyu stopped the car, and Shen Yi took Barrett and turned to shoot a church sexton in the distance.
Heavy hit mode!
This time the Berserker couldn't stop it.
The sexton's head suddenly tilted back, and a line of blood spurted out, but he did not die. Its range was not eight hundred meters, so it could only look at Shen Yi and let out an angry roar, but the entire Cui Fanke guard But he didn't move, obviously having no intention of leaving the city.
"Don't come out." Zhou Yiyu felt a little dizzy.
Shen Yi said coldly: "Then keep fighting."
A minute later, there was another gunshot, and the sexton who had been shot earlier was shot again. The sexton also wanted to dodge, but unfortunately the heavy attack mode did not allow him to dodge at all.
After another minute, Shen Yi fired the third shot.
At this time, all the adventurers had gathered around, watching Shen Yi shoot and attack slowly while sitting on the car. For a moment, he couldn't help but think: Is it because the monsters in the fortress don't come out, so he keeps fighting like this?
Zongtang couldn't help but ask: "Shen Yi, what is the kinetic energy of Barrett's gun?"
"38, using C-level bullets, damage 26."
Zongtang lowered his head and did some calculations and said: "The sexton's vitality is 240 and his defense is 13 points. You can cause 51 points of damage to it with each shot. Five shots can kill one."
Shen Yi replied calmly: "It doesn't matter. If they don't come out, I will keep fighting. Even if it's one every five minutes, I can kill nearly 300 of them in 24 hours."
He really had this idea!
I have to say that this is also a method.
Someone asked: "Who still has super long-range attack capabilities?"
Everyone looked at each other several times, then shook their heads.
In the eyes of most adventurers, long-range attacks that overemphasize range are mostly useless - for adventurers whose agility has been strengthened to a certain extent, a distance of 800 meters is actually only a dozen seconds of attack time. This time is not even enough for Barrett to take a second shot.
Who would have thought that under special circumstances and special combat needs, a Barrett could be of such great use?
It's no wonder that the entire Cui Fanke Fortress can be described as impregnable in terms of defense strength. It is not something that adventurers with difficulty level 2 can easily conquer. However, for such a solid fortress, there is one thing that doesn't look too strong. Shortcoming: its range is not far enough.
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to deal with such a shortcoming. It happened to be Shen Yi. As a captain with no melee attack skills, Shen Yi's biggest characteristic is that he is miscellaneous. His abilities have too many directions, so that There are some advantages in every aspect.
And now, this little advantage has laid a good foundation for Shen Yi, allowing him to use distance to eat away at his opponent bit by bit.
If Shen Yi is really allowed to use the shooting range of Cui Fanke to eliminate all Cui Fanke's guarding monsters with just five guns, then Shen Yi will create a miracle - sweeping through the three-difficulty and fifth-level tasks with one person!
Fortunately, things did not become so outrageous in the end.
When the fourth shot was fired, a white-robed priest at the top of the stairs suddenly raised his hands and shot out a white light. The light hit the sexton, and the church sexton who had been seriously injured recovered from his injuries.
"Damn it, there are actually healing troops!" Hong Lang yelled.
The existence of the healing unit completely destroyed Shen Yi's dream of using the range to kill one by one. What's interesting is that in the face of this situation, most adventurers did not feel annoyed, but instead felt relieved - they couldn't win. Cui Fanke, everyone is certainly unhappy; if he can win, everyone will still be unhappy.
Everyone once again experienced the contradictions of human nature.
Compared to other people who worry about gains and losses, Shen Yida is much more leisurely.
"Yiyu, drive the car a hundred meters further."
As the black lightning advanced another hundred meters, the entire fortress was already under the muzzle of Barrett's gun.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunfire after gunshot echoed across the wilderness.
Shen Yi was almost holding a stopwatch and firing. He would attack every 60 seconds. This time he was no longer limited to attacking the sexton, including berserkers, bloody skeleton mages, and new powerful monsters. Within his attack range. Whenever a target is healed, he will grab the muzzle and look for the next target, but the targets he locks on are almost all in the same area.
"Shen Yi, it's useless if you keep fighting like this. Even if I give you a day, you won't be able to kill even one monster." Zong Tang became a little impatient.
In his opinion, Barrett's long cooldown time gave Shen Yi no chance to kill any monster, and he was simply wasting his time.
Shen Yi replied calmly: "King of the Night, life 320. Flesh Hunter, life 340. Scarab, life 450. Cantor, life 380. Hell Hidden Crow, life 280. As for the healing priest, the defense should be the same as that of the sexton. About the same, the vitality may be slightly higher, estimated to be around 250."
Zongtang was stunned: "How do you know? Your spiritual detection cannot be effective at such a long distance."
"I attacked first the sexton, the berserker, and the bloody skeleton mage, monsters whose details we already know. If you pay attention, you will find that the white-robed priest's healing skills are always on my next shot. Use it when you are about to kill the opponent. Assuming their defense is between 10-15, I can roughly estimate their vitality through the number of shots."
"It turns out you used this method to find out."
"Not only that, have you ever thought about why the healing priest calculates its treatment so carefully?"
Zongtang was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses: "Because its healing skills are limited just like ours."
Shen Yi chuckled and continued to shoot.
Since these white-robed priests are scattered throughout the area, when Shen Yi only attacks monsters in one area, only one white-robed priest can use healing skills to heal himself.
When Shen Yi fired the forty-eighth shot, the white-robed priest finally stopped using his healing skills. It roared in the distance, and a white-robed priest came over and healed the church sexton on its behalf. , and then returned to his position.
Seeing this scene, everyone sighed together.
Zongtang shook his head: "It's useless. These guys may not be smarter than us, but they are not stupid enough to even dispatch soldiers. It has been forty-eight minutes now, you fired forty-eight shots, and the priest also used eleven times of healing, which means that its healing can probably be used ten times in a row, but because it is spiritually consuming, it can grow slowly over time. There are at least 80 healing priests there, and you can't possibly use them all up. of mana."
"Since we can't run out all the money, we have no choice but to kill them." Shen Yi smiled slightly.
"Unless you can kill it instantly, you can't. But Barrett alone isn't enough."
"What about adding gun skills?"
"No one can shoot this far."
"I do." Shen Yi smiled and said, "It's just not enough in terms of damage, so we have to upgrade the weapons first."
As he spoke, he suddenly took out the Horadric Cube.
Waved to Frost, the death revolver had fallen into Shen Yi's hands.
Throw Barrett and Death Revolver into the block.
Heraldry prompt: "The homogeneity is 82%. Before synthesis, you need to select a weapon as the main attribute. The synthesis requires 1800 blood points..."
"Using Barrett as the main weapon, deferred payment."
With the disappearance of the Death Revolver, a new Barrett has appeared in front of everyone.
"Double C-level Barrett heavy sniper rifle."
"Heavy attack mode: muzzle kinetic energy bonus 48, range 750 meters, rate of fire per shot/60 seconds, hitting the target will randomly cause damage from three elements: freezing, fire, and thunder, with a damage power of 18-24 points. "
"Burst mode: muzzle kinetic energy bonus 18, range 300 meters, rate of fire per shot/2 seconds, hitting the target will randomly cause damage from three elements: freezing, fire, and thunder, with damage power of 9-12 points. Heavy hit mode shares a cooldown with burst mode."
Picking up Barrett, Shen Yi fired a shot into the distance. This time, he was aiming at the white-robed priest who had exhausted his magic power.
boom!
The shot shook the priest's body.
As the shot was fired, Shen Yi threw the Barrett in his hand, took out the shooting moon and pointed it at the sacrifice.
The skill Moon Mark is activated.
The skill Shooting the Moon is activated.
With two consecutive skills, coupled with the 10% skill power bonus of Heyu Cloak, a double-B bullet passed through the head of the white-robed priest at high speed with 3.4 times the damage, and a blast shot out between his eyebrows. After the blood fountain, the white-robed priest fell to the sky.
