Piao Tian Literature One thing, Shen Yi actually lied - Demon Guard is indeed very difficult to deal with because of its certain restraint, but this does not mean that it is any easier to defend against the next three rounds of attacks than Demon Guard.
In fact, according to the difficulty distribution of the city, the forty rounds of attacks correspond to the intermediate stage and advanced stage of three difficulties and the intermediate and advanced stages of four difficulties.
Since in the eyes of the city, the advanced stage of the low-difficulty area is equivalent to or similar to the low-level stage of the high-difficulty area, starting from the twenty-first round, it jumps up to two small stages and directly enters the intermediate stage of the fourth difficulty area.
In other words, the task they are facing now is actually a task that can only be solved by adventurers with a medium level of difficulty.
Because of this, starting from the twenty-first round, the difficulty level has changed significantly.
If Shen Yi and the others have any advantage over difficulty level four adventurers now, it is that they have a larger number of people and are relatively well prepared, but the pressure they face is still beyond what they can withstand with their own strength.
But Shen Yi can’t say all this!
Fighting requires confidence, and fighting without confidence will never lead to victory. If adventurers know that what they are facing is no longer the task they should face, they will be easily satisfied and ready to give up at any time.
But for Shen Yi, who had once challenged the Demon God on the second difficulty level, this was absolutely unacceptable - there were still three people in the Broken Blade team who had no bloodline. No matter what, at least one Demon God must be killed.
Because of this, we must grit our teeth and defend the next nine rounds of attacks.
The twenty-second round of attack came soon.
Void Dragon.
Void dragons are a kind of void soldier between void walkers and void elders. They also have the talent of disguised movement, but they are stronger. The most terrible thing is that their attacks have a strong corrosive effect, which also affects the castle defense. There is a certain degree of danger.
The battle broke out again, and the adventurers once again took up arms to fight monsters from all directions.
Scenes of bloody fights were staged again and again, and the only result of repeated battles was numbness.
Although all kinds of dangerous and fierce battles appeared one after another in front of Shen Yi, Shen Yi's heart was already in turmoil.
He fired numbly and mechanically, and the battle was driven more by instinct than rational thinking.
One after another, the orc warriors fell down in the killing and were torn into pieces. Blood was flying, and Shen Yi's eyes were filled with red light.
Chu Sheng's thunderous roar rang in his ears, and he was yelling: "Shen Yi, is this what you said is easy to deal with?"
Shen Yi smiled: "In any case, it is indeed easier to deal with than the devil guard, isn't it?"
"Yes, but it's damn limited. These void dragons are too difficult to deal with. I hit him three times in a row and saw that I was hit with residual health. The guy disappeared with a disguised movement. When he reappeared, he was mixed with a group of void dragons. They They all look like birds, I don’t even know which one to hit!”
"Then let's catch whoever is the one, we have four hours to resolve the battle." Shen Yi replied lightly.
"But then we won't have time to rest!"
"You don't really think we can rest in the next battle, do you? It's good to be able to solve the opponent within the stipulated time, but it may not be able to be solved in the stipulated time later, and it is very likely to form a backlog. Then several waves of forces pile up in Together, they pushed us straight away."
"**!" Chu Sheng cursed, but didn't say anything anymore, but the meteor hammer danced more and more crazily.
Due to the omnipresent movement of Void Dragons in disguised form, it is extremely difficult for adventurers to kill them through concentrated fire attacks. In addition, they are aerial units, and even group damage skills have limited effect on them.
Fortunately, this kind of movement also limits the focus of the Void Dragon's fire, and the danger is relatively reduced. The battle therefore becomes a war of attrition, and for adventurers, a war of attrition is both beneficial and disadvantageous.
The advantage is that adventurers with medicine are always the winners in wars of attrition. The disadvantage is that long-term battles reduce the rest time they can get, and the medicine reserves are consumed more. Even if you have the honor of the camp to buy various props and potions, it cannot make up for it.
Such consumption - the supply of magic immunity potions has been cut off, and even mana potions are about to bottom out.
However these are not real troubles.
The real trouble is that the city wall defense has completely reached the edge of collapse under the attack of the void dragon.
Due to the void dragon's talent of moving in disguise, they can attack anywhere, and the castle gate is the first choice target of the void dragon.
Under the crazy attack of a large number of void dragons, the gate was obviously overwhelmed, like a small tree in the storm, already shaking.
"Quickly! Kill these guys! Don't let them break through the door!" Shen Yi drank a bottle of potion and fired the flower spray gun. This was the second bottle of mana potion he drank in this round of attack.
The shadow of the whip dances in the sky, the light of the ax flashes, the iron fist is vertical and horizontal, and the bullet rains like a tide.
One after another, the void dragons fell under the frenzied attacks of the Broken Blade team, but these brave and death-defying guys never stopped attacking the iron gate.
When there were only a dozen void dragons left at the city gate, there was only a bang!
The iron gate of the castle finally collapsed in full view of everyone, completely ending its mission of blocking the enemy.
The Burning Legion's portal to the castle suddenly opened!
Seeing this scene, even Shen Yi felt a chill in his heart. Although he had known that this would happen sooner or later, he still kept trying to delay it.
It's a pity that it has been delayed until this round, and he can no longer delay it.
"Shen Yi, the city is broken!" Wei Na also cried out.
Before the city is broken, you have to sacrifice your life!
After the city is broken, life is harvested!
This is the eternal truth in the world's offensive and defensive wars.
The city gate is broken, which means that the adventurers are losing their geographical advantage, and the gap will become wider and wider as the enemy strengthens and our own side weakens.
Shen Yi said coldly: "Just break it. Anyway, it's not unprepared. Clean up the remnants first, and then prepare for street fighting. Don't forget that we still have two and three layers of defense lines."
His tone was relaxed, as if it was really what he said and it was no big deal.
Only he himself understands that the second and third layers of defense combined are not as important as the first layer. After all, the former is to keep the enemy out of the country, while the latter is to fight directly at home.
The remaining void dragons were quickly eliminated by the adventurers, but the battle ultimately consumed everyone for more than three hours.
After only ten minutes of rest, the twenty-third round of attacks had already appeared.
This time, it's the Nether Cavalry.
The Nether Cavalry from the Nine Nether Hells is like a king in the darkness, cold, chill, and possessing unparalleled impact.
If the city gate is not broken, as long as they are blocked outside the castle, the adventurers still have a good chance of solving them, but now, they can only choose to fight hand to hand.
Shen Yi had always hoped that the city gate could be guarded for at least twenty-three rounds, in order to guard against the Netherworld Cavalry, but unfortunately he was unable to do so.
"All adventurers, block the city gate and don't let them in!" Chu Sheng shouted.
"No!" Shen Yi shouted quickly: "Don't block the city gate. Those guys have charging skills, but anyone charged by them will receive triple damage!"
However, he is not a real commander after all. There are still some adventurers trying to use their strong bodies to block the impact of the Nether Cavalry.
They quickly paid dearly for their mistakes.
These cavalrymen, shrouded in black mist, didn't seem to mind the human wall blocking the city gate.
They just lined up silently and then charged against the cannon fire.
Whether they charge or die in the attack, they always remain silent, as calm as the eternal ice.
flutter!
A Nether Cavalry who was the first to rush had already rushed to the city gate, and the cavalry spear filled with hazy black air in his hand hit the shield of an adventurer.
The adventurer was obviously a guy who was good at defense, and he was as solid as a rock.
The cavalry spear failed to move him at all. The adventurer smiled with a cracked smile: "What the hell, triple attack, a bunch of scum with a basic combat power of only 5!"
However, the cavalryman turned around after firing his spear, and another cavalryman from behind rushed up and stabbed the shield hard with another spear.
This time, the adventurer's body swayed obviously. Feeling the obvious increase in strength, the adventurer's eyes showed a hint of surprise. The third cavalry had rushed up and hit the shield. The adventurer's whole body was shaken. Struck by lightning.
However, this guy is very brave and still refuses to retreat. Shen Yi has already shouted to him: "Retreat quickly! This is their combined attack skill, and the power can be superimposed infinitely!"
What?
The adventurer was shocked. The fourth Nether Cavalry had already charged forward. This time, the knight's spear actually pierced the adventurer's shield. Among the fragments that exploded all over the sky, the knight's spear had pierced the adventurer's chest. He pierced it with one blow, picked it up on the tip of the spear, and then swung it backwards.
The adventurer was flying in the air and saw a forest of spears poking towards the sky.
"No!" The adventurer screamed in horror.
Swish, brush, brush!
Countless knights' spears have stabbed him at the same time.
"Return..." The adventurer screamed in despair.
However, even if it returns, it actually takes a few seconds for the system to respond.
Just as he shouted to return, the knight spears penetrated his body and nailed him completely in the air.
Bloody Emblem finally sent a hint:
"e4415 requested to return... I'm sorry, you died in the battle and do not meet the conditions for return and cannot return."
The adventurer's body frozen in the air shook, and he squeezed out a sentence: "City...**...your mother!"
He died with his head tilted, but his eyes were still wide open, showing that he was unwilling to die in peace.
The death of this adventurer finally made everyone aware of the horror of this group of cavalry. The charge and the use of group strength are the most powerful support. This is the real main combat unit on the battlefield and is never afraid of any form of frontal force. fierce.
Shen Yi had already shouted: "Leave the city gate! Let them enter the castle, use street fighting, divide and surround! Lao Meng, you can release your skeleton!"
The Nether Cavalry is a cavalry team that is good at charging and decisive battles on the plains. It is suitable for charging on large-scale battlefields but not suitable for individual battles in small areas.
Since we can't defend the enemy outside the country, we have to use the complex terrain inside the castle to fight. This is also one of Shen Yi's backup plans.
However, this is not without cost - if the cavalry is allowed to charge, the outer forts will be severely hit, and the various alchemy traps arranged by Shen Yi inside will also be consumed.
Although these traps have been used for consumption since the beginning of their existence, Shen Yi still hopes that they can act on more advanced targets.
Well, the Nether Cavalry can't be considered a low-level unit. At least if it's a decisive battle on the plains, two thousand Nether Cavalry can wipe out more than fifty adventurers.
This time the adventurers finally listened to Shen Yi.
They quickly evacuated the city gate and retreated to the rear or up the city wall.
The gate of Hyjal Castle opened wide, and a large number of ghost cavalry rushed towards the city with a roar, rolling up a stream of black air and shooting straight into the sky, drawing a thick black arrow on the topographic map of Hyjal Castle.
After entering the castle, the arrow quickly turned into tiny black arrows in the face of the criss-crossing roads, and continued to charge forward, piercing through any soldiers blocking the path along the way.
They have a neat lineup and strict military discipline. Even if they are separated by natural terrain, they still effectively maintain the offensive rhythm of one squad after another, and are interrelated without losing touch with each other.
With this alone, he can be classified as an absolutely powerful soldier on earth, and he is the warrior that any general dreams of.
However, as the Nether Cavalry entered, their troubles soon came.
The alchemy traps Shen Yi placed everywhere came into play, including poisonous smoke traps, flap traps, flame traps, spider web traps, lightning traps, frost traps, arrow traps, and even various horse traps. pit.
If the previous defensive battle of Hyjal was still based on taking advantage of the city's high walls and thick walls to fight hard, then the street fighting that followed the fall of the city gate became a war in which softness faced hardness and softness overcame hardness.
The battle is no longer a huge scene of groups fighting each other, but is divided into countless small battlefields, which are staged simultaneously in every corner of Hyjal Castle.
This kind of battle scene is much less impressive than a group duel, but its bloody and brutal level is even worse.
A troll hunter stood on the city wall and threw a spear towards the bottom. Just as the battle ax hit the cavalry, a ghost cavalry below also threw a knight spear, piercing the chest of the troll hunter. The troll The hunter clutched his chest and fell from the city wall. As soon as he hit the ground, he was stabbed into pieces by more than ten knight spears.
A ghost cavalry whipped his horse's head, and the undead horse under his hip actually ran up the city wall. Just as he was about to board the city, a huge tree swung down, and the ghost cavalry was knocked directly from the air. The successful tauren warrior looked up to the sky and roared with pride, but then he was pierced through the holes by cavalry spears and died.
Just as a white bull priest came over to revive him, a ghost cavalry from behind suddenly jumped into the air, drew out his long sword and chopped off the priest's head, and then a light from the Tower of Destruction struck, directly smashing the cavalry into pieces.
More killings were still among the adventurers, between Lao Meng's skeleton summons and the ghost cavalry. The adventurers with more powerful agility and strength attributes once again took advantage of their flexibility, jumping vertically and horizontally between the city walls, and with the help of He highly launched an attack on the Nether Cavalry, and the undead army created by Lao Meng became the best cannon fodder, used to absorb the damage from the Nether Cavalry.
Hyjal Castle is full of traps and wars everywhere.
The attack of the Netherworld Cavalry fell into a quagmire, and it quickly changed from being irresistible to being unable to move forward.
The Nether Cavalry, which had lost the advantages of charging and team combat, was obviously not used to this kind of battle, and fell down one by one on the way to the charge.
However, even if these brave and fearless guys were defeated, relying on their high physical strength, high defense and high mobility, they still caused great damage to the castle defenders.
The most deadly thing was the thirty forts on the outer defense line, which suffered serious damage due to the ghost cavalry rushing into the castle.
Although Shen Yi personally led people to protect him and resisted desperately, a large number of forts were still severely damaged.
After all the Nether Cavalry were killed, the outer defense line had destroyed eight forts and severely damaged seven. Adding in the previous losses, only twelve were left usable.
The orc warriors themselves also suffered huge casualties. Although the ghost warriors were not conducive to small-scale battles, their powerful attributes often made them capable of causing trouble even if they died. Two thousand ghost cavalry directly caused four hundred warriors and The death of an adventurer came at the cost of Lao Meng losing more than half of his undead puppets.
When the battle ended, Hyjal's defense force had only more than 3,000 orc soldiers and 49 adventurers left. Two of the adventurers died in the battle and three returned.
The twenty-fourth round of attack is to destroy the guard.
This is another advanced unit among the guard units. Compared with the Demon Guard, they do not have the war trample skill that troubles adventurers, but they do have the ability to summon hellfire.
Each Doom Guard can summon a Hellfire for auxiliary combat. In other words, there are two thousand Doom Guards, each of which has the Dread Lord's ultimate move.
Although the threat to adventurers is not as great as War Trample, it may not be easy to deal with. In particular, Hellfire itself has a 2-second stun ability when it lands, which is equivalent to every Destruction Guard to a certain extent. Has a one-time group stun skill.
This time, Shen Yi finally came up with another trump card - mercenary summons.
Before entering the mission world, Shen Yi hired two heavy shield soldiers.
These two heavy shield soldiers have 1800 points of life, 50 points of defense, and three active defense skills.
Shen Yi wanted them to guard the city gate and block the destruction guards from the door again.
The impact capability of the Destruction Guard is far inferior to that of the Nether Cavalry. If you let the heavy shield soldiers block the Nether Cavalry, you will be courting death, but blocking the Destruction Guard can still last for a while.
Isn't Shen Yida going to play the tactic of annihilating the enemy outside the country again - the door is gone, how long can two guards survive?
The key is that he knows that the Destruction Guards have a habit, that is, if the battle starts head-on, they will choose to summon Hellfire at the right time.
But if the battle is carried out by remote interception, assuming that the city gate is not lost, the Destruction Guard will release hellfire into the city as soon as possible. The reason for this is to use the long-range bombardment of hellfire to destroy the city. Opening a castle can, secondly, create internal battles and weaken the external siege pressure.
This design was originally formulated based on the battlefield situation and was the most suitable tactic for destroying guards. It is suitable for both long-distance and close-range attacks.
But for adventurers, what they really fear is not the hellfire, but the two seconds of dizziness.
Just imagine, once the two sides are in close combat, a group of Destruction Guards will smash Hellfire at a group of adventurers one after another, stuning one after another. Just smashing them can kill everyone.
Therefore, the first thing Shen Yi wanted to do was to use the tight defense of the heavy shield soldiers to lure the Destruction Guards to collectively use Hellfire.
When the hellfire falls in the castle, although it will also bring a stun effect to everyone, it does not have the stun of destroying the guard's attack, and there is no threat at all. In addition, the distance is too far, the hellfire cannot concentrate the attack, which greatly Reduced the threat of initial attacks.
Of course, the consequence of doing this would be that the city wall would suffer terrible destruction again, but Shen Yi was basically ready to give up the outer defense line at this time, so it didn't matter.
The battle went exactly as Shen Yi expected.
As two heavy shield soldiers and Fatty and other adventurers who were particularly good at defense jointly defended the castle, the Destruction Guards began to use Hellfire on the castle.
One after another, huge flaming meteorites crazily smashed down in the sky, hitting the city head and knocking out stone debris all over the sky. Some unlucky soldiers were directly knocked away by the hellfire falling from the sky, but most of them were just hit in the air. .
Two thousand hellfires fell on the city, and a new crazy fighting began again.
A Hellfire siege without the support of Destruction Guards is, to put it bluntly, a repeat of the nineteenth round of attacks.
For an attack of this difficulty, the combination of adventurers and orcs can still handle it relatively easily.
As for the periphery, Lao Meng and Shen Yi once again joined forces to stage a good show of smoke bombs and Frostmourne. However, the life of the Destruction Guard is much higher than that of the Demon Guard, and Lao Meng's fountain of youth has lost its effectiveness. , only one-fifth of them were killed before they had to retreat.
Fortunately, when the two heavy shield soldiers were finally killed and Fatty and others stopped retreating, the battle against Hellfire in the castle had also come to an end.
More and more reinforcements reappeared at the top of the city, fighting with the incoming Destruction Guards, and finally withstood this wave of ferocious and powerful attacks.
Of course, the defenders also paid a huge price for this - the outer defense line was almost completely destroyed, and there were many gaps in the city wall, like a sieve, which could not be blocked no matter how hard it was blocked.
None of the peripheral forts survived. It can be said that the entire peripheral defense line was completely finished and turned into ruins.
That's it, it's still based on Shen Yi's ability to predict each round of attacking troops and formulate targeted strategies in a timely manner.
It is conceivable that if there is no internal information, the adventurers may have reached this point and it is the end.
However, for Shen Yi, he was still dissatisfied.
Because the current progress is still six full rounds behind the progress he wants!
But fortunately, at least in the next round, he doesn't have to worry about whether he can pass.
"The twenty-fifth round of attack was the eredar wizards cooperating with three heroic demon kings. There are only three heroic demon kings. Hong Lang has to deal with one, Wen Wen has to deal with one, and Chu Sheng has to deal with one. Those eredar wizards are quite good. Trouble, they are a powerful mage-type unit, a real group attack expert, but most importantly, they have a mental attack skill that is simply unstoppable... Fortunately, when you are prepared, sometimes the best A sharp attack will turn into the weakest attack."
At this moment, Shen Yi said word by word: "Luo Hao, Yi Yu, it's up to you two to deal with the Eredar wizard."
The fat man chuckled: "Just watch."
