The area of thousand square meters is not very large, but with more than a hundred people separated to guard the edge, in Neo's view, the strength is still too weak. His suggestion of "abandoning the platform and fending off the enemy in a narrow channel" is obviously a desperate move.
Rely on the advantages of close unity and a small area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to resist the waves of monster attacks.
The patrol lieutenant rejected Neo's proposal. He believed that the way to choose the hill ridge was to completely give up maneuvering and change and become a deadlock, a battle of brute force against brute force. Of course, there was another reason why the patrol lieutenant still refused.
Some are lucky and unwilling to rely on this direct method of putting their own side to death to maximize people's fighting spirit.
Time waits for no one, and soon, the chance to fight the narrow road is lost. The stone walls and frozen soil on both sides of the hilly ridge road are covered with monsters. The ridge road is occupied, and more monsters choose to climb in this situation.
platform cliff
Do everything you can to hold the platform! The monsters are not willing to surrender without killing them. Fight with them! "The patrol lieutenant's mobilization slogan is simple and unpretentious, and his personnel dispatching ability is not bad. Combatants and non-combatants are evenly matched, and he also deliberately
Four mobile teams of three were formed to repair the holes. Unfortunately, they were too conventional and lacked effective use of existing materials and resources.
However, Neo made up for this loophole. He took a few lightly injured people who had barely recovered, and distributed ropes to the people on the front line.
Withdraw..."
The stakes are the same ones that were planted during the construction of the wall. The tops were cut off to make temporary spears. There is still a section below, which is tied with a rope. This is considered a safety belt.
There is an intensive arrangement here, and the monsters have climbed up over there. After evolution, these guys are obviously much faster and more agile in their movements, and they also look a lot rougher, several times bigger, their heads have a tendency to turn into mice, and their noses are
They all protrude forward and become longer, and have a pair of sharp and conspicuous front teeth. There is also a thick rat tail, which is full of flesh and has thin black hair on it. It looks very disgusting. Most of these monsters are at the level of level 4 peak fighters.
, some of them have strength exceeding 5. Whether it is cliff rocks or hard frozen soil, they are no longer able to resist the claws of their sharp claws.
"Ouch!" A war cry sounded. There was no shortage of warriors on the defensive side. The most powerful among them was the Steppenwolf Oleg, who had reached level 8. As the main force of the battle group, his war cry level was relatively high.
Using Neo's system, the extra talent bonus of the battle cry has been fully charged, and the skill level has been trained to the highest level that a level 8 warrior can master. Its range of effect reaches 120 meters. His voice makes everyone feel
When the strength is doubled, it is increased by at least 0.5 times
Several higher-level people in the patrol also used defensive auras. This aura is said to be derived from the pious aura of the Holy Knights of the Holy See. It also increases defense power, but most of the defenders do not have armor, and this aura
The level is not high. Neo felt it, which is equivalent to giving a thin shirt the toughness and strength of a tarpaulin. Basically, it is better than nothing.
In fact, in terms of auxiliary abilities, Shaman's totem benefits are quite sharp. However, even if Neo does not consider the issue of revealing his identity, the situation he is facing now is definitely a narrow escape. According to Nancy's estimation, unless there is a major change, such as the sky
If the bull warriors or monsters suddenly take the wrong medicine and give up the attack, otherwise the probability of the defending side holding on until dawn is less than 10%. Moreover, Neo has discussed with the patrol officer before, supporting until dawn does not necessarily mean victory.
As far as the early stage is concerned, the performance of the defenders is still good. More than a dozen crossbows have exerted their due effect, and the spears like probe rods have also achieved good results. Even those who slip through the net and climb up are often capable.
The stronger fighter's sword was waiting, and he was killed in time before any harm was done.
The patrol lieutenant was personally on duty, guarding the only entrance to the platform with more than a dozen experts. He peeked at this situation and was basically satisfied. More than 90% of the more than 100 people in his party were young and strong. With close cooperation, it was still quite large.
combative
After the initial panic, dozens of non-combatants gradually became more stable. The situation did not seem so difficult. When wooden guns were stabbed at the climbing monsters, the monsters could only rely on one front paw at most.
To protect and resist, or simply dodge sideways, but on this cliff, such actions are very difficult, and the defender is condescending and protected by ropes, so he can lean out and claw hard. No matter how fierce the battle is, there is no time to be afraid.
With the concerted efforts of everyone on the defensive side, the monsters suffered a heavy blow. They screamed and fell from a height of tens of meters to the bottom of the valley. The ground below was either frozen soil or rugged rocks. Naturally, it would not be good if they fell.
However, Neo knew that this seemingly optimistic situation was only temporary. He believed in Nancy's calculated data that the offensive side would only get stronger and stronger, while the defensive side was just the opposite.
"Come on, let's get moving and do what we can. Although the pressure on the defense is great, it has not yet reached a critical point. Although many people are dissatisfied with a few privileged people including Neo, they can still suppress it.
The fire-headed Neo led the patrons and the injured of the fleeing team to do what they could, such as dismantling the carts, whose parts could be used as projectiles, and making spears. Some people's spears
Being grabbed by a monster and pulled away, it can't be done with empty hands. There are also suggested shields, carts and frames, burning two holes, and threading a rope to pull a dead knot. This is a simple shield. Ni
I know, this thing will be used soon...
After fighting for half an hour, everyone on the defensive side was already feeling exhausted. They used wooden guns until they were weak, and slashed with swords until they were gasping for breath. There was still an endless supply of monsters. There were more than 2,000 evolved monsters, which meant that each person had to kill 20 on average.
Not to mention the average difficulty of 1v20 above monsters, the mortality rate of monsters was indeed quite high at the beginning, but there were so many dead below that they became flesh pads. Later, the survival probability of monsters became higher and higher.
Ao Te borrowed the time to send a spear and glanced down. The monsters were smarter than expected. After they discovered that meat mats could save their lives, they actually killed a large number of the lowest monsters and piled them high with their corpses.
The mats, those who were knocked down by the gun barrel, rolled around, banged their heads a few times, retreated for a while to catch their breath, and then started climbing again. The monsters grabbed harder and harder as they climbed, and more and more people were added to the cliff.
There are many shallow caves and pits, which make it much easier for monsters to climb and avoid, which greatly increases the difficulty of knocking them down.
"When attacking, you have to pay attention to your strength. You would rather have a lower frequency, but also ensure the strength, otherwise it will be easy to be grabbed by monsters! We don't have many wooden guns left," Neo reminded the frontline combatants when sending wooden guns.
"It really doesn't hurt your back to stand and talk! Come and try it for half an hour." Finally, some people couldn't suppress the evil fire in their hearts and began to ignore hierarchy and authority.
Neo smiled and handed the wooden gun to the man. He didn't say anything more. There was no need to vent his anger on the dying man. He would still settle for the next weapon. As for whether the other party would listen or not, he didn't care.
What he cares about is that from the beginning, he had no hope of relying on these people to survive. The resistance is only as far as it goes.
Finally, the patrol lieutenant's brain was not burned out. He knew that although Neo did not directly participate in the battle, he contributed a lot in logistics planning. Moreover, dismantling vehicles and making wooden guns and shields also took effort. Ni
Ao Qianren may not be so relaxed
"Pass my order, the spearmen will retreat and rest for 5 minutes, and all the mobile teams will be on top..."
Without the spearmen, the battle suddenly retreated to the edge of the platform. At this time, everyone felt that guarding the platform was really inadequate, but all the professionals worked hard and managed to survive the 5 minutes. Speaking of which, this
More monsters were killed in 5 minutes than in the previous quarter of an hour.
"Drive the monster down!" Following the lieutenant's command, all the professionals activated their skills and drove the monster down in one fell swoop. After taking a break, the spearmen stepped forward again.
Although this counterattack was extremely successful, it could not regain much strength in 5 minutes. A quarter of an hour later, the spearmen were even more tired than before. The spears were finally exhausted, and more and more people retreated from the front line of the confrontation.
down
The combat environment became more difficult, but there was still a way to hold on for a while. Under Neo's organization, the dismantled vehicles were pushed off the platform by non-combatants who had lost their weapons, and they were smashed one after another, which could hurt many monsters, but
There is not much of this kind of rolling wood and stone that is not very interesting, and it will be used up quickly.
By this time, the spearmen had basically withdrawn from the battle, and there were nearly 20 casualties, 23 of which were lost in the last 10 minutes or so.
The patrol lieutenant knew that the front line could no longer be defended. Just when he was about to give the order to abandon the edge and retreat to form a formation, Neo suggested: "Activate skills and be aggressive, it's worth it!"
This time the lieutenant followed Neo's advice because he saw that non-combatants were organized and became shield bearers and were receiving simple training.
In fact, the biggest reason for Neoti's suggestion is not that shield players need to understand some key points, otherwise it will only be of no help, but that the evolved monsters have almost been consumed. If they are basically wiped out by taking advantage of the marginal geographical advantages, one's own side will be in trouble again.
Of course, having more opportunities to breathe does not escape the bad luck of being annihilated. His dark vision reaches 120 meters, so he can see the situation under the cliff. Another gluttonous feast has begun, and there are already left on the cliff.
If you climb too many pits, the monster will not stop. The respite he refers to is to deal with non-evolved monsters.
This time, it is more difficult for professionals to be fierce. The werewolves of West Wind Fighting have all transformed, and their consumption will be faster because of this. However, in order to obtain sufficient combat power, this is the only way to do this, including many patrols.
Many people were surprised and refreshed when they saw the transformation of these wild werewolves. But Neo knew that the Zephyr warriors who went to Monstoke wilderness to train troops all year round were more powerful than the rangers.
Professionals and veterans, although they are good at bursting out, they know better than the patrols what a long flow of water is, and they are better at controlling the rhythm of battle. It is just past 2 o'clock in the morning, and their current transformation is actually foreshadowing tragedy...
This was a bloody battle, and Neo also joined the battle. His performance with a broad sword was quite satisfactory, but the foundation was there. When the climax of this wave of fighting ended, although he was covered in blood and flesh, he was not there.
of
Almost all of a sudden, everyone on the defensive side felt relieved and the evolved monster disappeared from people's sight...
"Ha! We defended! We killed thousands of monster elites. We won this round!"
Some cheered, some jumped for joy, some cried with joy, some sat down on the ground, or simply lay stretched out on the ground.
The patrol lieutenant also withdrew from the battle at the entrance of the platform. His expression was very solemn, and he approached Neo, "Sir, our current situation..." This lieutenant still has some brains. He has already seen that Austrian
The 30 or so Westwind Berserkers led by Liege were much more elite than his men, especially the combat force of close combat on the ground, which was originally in Neo's hands, but when he recruited manpower according to local security regulations,
, but Neo was very cooperative in handing such combat power into his hands, instead of doing his part and arguing with reason. The reason was naturally not because he was afraid of him and the people he brought.
Now, the lieutenant did not want to investigate why the 2nd Army soldiers would hide their identities and act in a low-key manner. He just followed a very simple logical reasoning and believed that Neo who could allow such a group of people to serve him must not be a simple person, so he was modest.
consult
Neo inserted his sword into the ground, shook the hand holding the sword, and said: "You kill the enemies in front, and I'll count behind you. A rough estimate is that we killed more than a thousand evolved monsters, almost 23, and the rest
Those guys retreated for the second blood feast, right under the cliff."
"Sir, what do you mean, these rat-like monsters are not the elite among monsters, but evolvers who have completed a meal?"
Neo nodded, "The monsters are coming soon. We can let the shield bearer and the main combat force get used to each other and take turns to rest."
Although Neo did not mention the final outcome of the battle, the lieutenant could easily guess the outcome. He sighed lightly, called a shield bearer and asked him to hold the shield. The lieutenant began to write a report and finished it.
After that, it was not sent immediately. He still needed to confirm the situation finally. After all, it was a major matter.
The monsters have already come up. The shallow pits left by the ordinary and evolved types on the cliff provide them with opportunities to climb. Although the speed is far slower than that of the evolved types, they are a steady stream and almost endless to the defending side.
of
The battle seems to be repeating the situation at the beginning of the platform defense battle. The ordinary monsters are not strong enough, and the defensive side's combat strength has also faded. The shield bearers began to try to act as the deputy of the professional fighters, and the soldiers who cooperated with them were sergeants (4
) Level 1 personnel, the main combat force above Level 5 cannot cooperate with them, and bringing them with them is actually a burden.
"I'm sorry!" When Neo checked on the wounded, the one who apologized to him was one of the two doctors on the defensive side. He was a water mage, but he was not proficient in healing. He used the life detection technique to make a person
He helped the breakouts confirm the specific location of Neo and others. By this time, he had completely understood how Neo's people were originally prepared to deal with the crisis. He admitted that he was the one who brought disaster to these people.
Otherwise, the people here really have no hope of avoiding this disaster.
"What else can I say to a person who will pay for his mistakes with death?" Neo said these words lightly and walked away. This mage has the ability to detect life, so he can naturally detect the changes in monsters.
, under the observation of the eyes of magic, ordinary monsters are just balls of faint light and green fire, while the evolved light is much brighter. Now, bright and dazzling ones are appearing, and their light has already matched the life force of our main combat force.
The light is almost the same...
"Mine owner, three of our people ran away and three of them died." When Neo found Gris, Gris handed over two dark rune scrolls. He had a way of survival in his heart, so he naturally refused to work hard. Gris
Although I can't see the other thugs to death, my movements are still clear.
Neo made a sound, took out 5 scrolls of Nirvana runes, and handed them to Gris, "The smell of sweat, the smell of blood, it's hard to survive just by blending into the darkness. These are used to cover up the smell. Send them to the brothers.
The same sentence continues: Be smart, and when the time is right, I will let you know."
"..." When Gris received the five rune scrolls, he felt a little emotional in his heart, "Boss, why didn't you realize that this pool of water is so deep before?"
Gris left, and Grot came. Neo raised the corners of his mouth: "What, did you hear that?"
"I've been thinking that since I can make three people disappear out of thin air, there should be a way to make the fourth person do the same." Grott also knew that this was his last chance, so he stopped playing elegant.
"Reducing one's own chances of survival in exchange for the possibility of others surviving. If it's not because of noble sentiments or friendship, then..."
