Chapter 311: Fire oil bombs, defense and suppression battle

This one is the passive skill Fire Oil Bomb that comes with [Giant Turret].

The blazing shells flew out with a flash of fire, and then fell back with a scream.

It accurately hit the position locked by Zong Shen's perspective.

"Boom!"

After the violent explosion, flames shot into the sky, and the shock wave of the air flow blew all the ghost banshees away.

In place, within the sixty-meter range covered by the explosion, flames continued to ignite.

The tongues of fire licked the crypt monsters, roasting their skin until it was crispy and finally turned into black carbon, losing all vitality and turning into a pool of charred pus that melted into the ground.

The effect of the fire oil bomb is still very powerful, comparable to the third-level group attack fire magic with a fixed damage.

The group attack capability of [Giant Turret] is basically the best among all defensive buildings in Zong Shen's territory.

Because it has a large range and is in line with the characteristics of a giant cannon, its explosion damage is also high.

In a high-density monster group, each gun can cover two to three thousand cave monsters, with an average of hundreds of explosion damage, which is two to three hundred thousand points of damage in one round. If it were not for the shackles of attack frequency, or There are three or five fourth-level [giant turrets] in the territory, which are absolutely invincible when dealing with human sea tactics.

In particular, the strength of a single entity such as the crypt monster group is generally not strong, and the monster group that relies solely on the accumulation of numbers is a unique weapon.

Zong Shen has already decided that after the final challenge is over, he must collect a few more [Giant Turrets]. Like the [Monotov Flamethrower], this thing is a super weapon for dealing with human sea tactics.

The former is a defensive building for garrisoning the territory, and the latter is a group attack weapon that can be carried with him. In addition, Zong Shen also wants to establish a scientific research team for mana technology, rune technology, and alchemy technology in the territory as soon as possible.

In large-scale wars, these war machines are the absolute killer weapons.

The situation on the front line is still stable after all, and now some casualties are beginning to appear one after another.

However, the number of casualties was not too many. Most of them were melee soldiers on the northern front. Some of them were too far forward and were occupied and controlled by the scattered ghost banshees during the melee fight. Then they were captured by the crypt. He died when the monsters were drowned.

So far, the number of casualties is only a few dozen.

In the entire territory, there were a total of seven to eight thousand melee soldiers who came to support them.

There are three to four thousand mages, bow/crossbow shooters, and long-range warriors such as spear throwers.

There were dozens of casualties among close combat soldiers, which accounted for less than 1% of the total, and these casualties in close combat soldiers were generally the kind of blank soldiers trained by first- and second-level lords through their barracks.

The professional soldiers recruited by the recruitment rolls have even stronger survivability.

How could there be no casualties in the battle? These casualties should not shake the morale of the lords. Although the lords of the fallen soldiers will still feel a little distressed, overall, the current situation is still very good.

The lords took advantage of their team strength and the individual advantages of the warriors, and a large number of crypt monsters were killed every moment.

A yellow-green plague smoke rose from the periphery of the entire territory. This was a plague zone created by the pus transformed from the corpses of crypt monsters after their death and seeping into the ground.

In this plague zone, second- and third-level warriors are basically immune, but those first-level warriors and farmers with relatively low physical fitness are unable to bear it and are easily infected with the disease.

The crypt monster groups in the west and south of the territory also came into contact with the defense lines in all directions of the territory.

To the west of the territory, there was a five-meter-tall, huge [Heavy Combat Puppet] deployed in front of the defense line. It was motionless and made no movement. The cave monsters also chose to ignore it and gradually submerged it. Among the monsters.

This was also one of the methods Zong Shen deployed before. The number of crypt monsters faced in the west of the territory was second only to that in the north, reaching more than 40,000.

The defense towers in the territory are now operating at full capacity. From time to time, you can see a bolt of thunder and lightning in the sky, or a huge moon blade rotating and cutting.

Arrows almost hit the heads of the frontline soldiers and shot into the monster group.

The entire territory was filled with shouts of killing, the sound of arrows shooting, chopping, the "sizzle" of thunder, and the roar of giant cannons.

Zong Shen controlled the [Giant Turret] and fired a shot at the group of cave monsters in the west of the territory.

Then he exited [Gunner Mode] without looking, called Mariel from under the [Giant Crossbow Tower], and after a few words of instruction, he asked her to be the gunner.

The [Giant Crossbow Tower] will not inadvertently injure friendly troops, and it does not matter if it fires automatically. However, the [Giant Gun Tower] is not suitable for automatic attacks in the current situation where both sides are engaged in close combat. Someone must keep an eye on it.

After Mariel took Zong Shen's place, Zong Shen walked towards the outside of the territory, dialing the communication crystal numbered 3 as he walked. This was the communication crystal carried by Colby.

At this time, Colby was leading all the human and wolf cavalry under the legion. There were hundreds of wolf cavalry on standby outside the territory. This was a cavalryman commanded by Zong Shen.

At this time, all the nearby crypt monster groups have come into contact with the territory. This is the best opportunity for this group of wolf cavalry to take action!

Zong Shen must clear out this group of cave monsters before other monster groups arrive, so that he can free up his hands to organize the lords who came to support to launch an attack on the underworld snake Apophis.

Otherwise, as time goes by, other groups of cave monsters will gradually come from other places in the area during these six hours. We can only take advantage of this moment to quickly wipe out the territory surrounding the forest with the force of thunder. There are less than 200,000 crypt monsters in total. The longer time goes on, the more and more crypt monsters will come from other places, and they will eventually be dragged into the territory, unable to free their hands to deal with the regional boss.

In this case, it would deviate from Zong Shen’s previous goals and the significance of the final challenge.

The communication crystal was quickly connected, and Colby's rich and steady voice came from the other end of the crystal.

"Sir, please give me your orders!"

He had been on standby for a long time, and now he finally received contact from Zong Shen.

"Colby, you take the wolf cavalry to help clear out the crypt monsters on the outside of the territory."

"Assign all warriors into small teams in order to activate the effect of the sword array rush."

"Remember, your mission is to roam and deal damage. Don't fight or get entangled. If you are attacked by the Ghost Banshee's control skills, remember to cover each other."

"If you encounter danger, retreat directly without hesitation."

Zong Shen quickly explained to the communication crystal while walking outside the north gate of the territory.

Colby replied decisively after hearing this.

"Okay sir, I understand."

After saying that, he hung up the communication crystal directly.

And Zong Shen had already walked up to Vereesa who was standing on the city wall doing crazy output.

"Everyone should not save skills and increase output."

"We must eliminate these cave monsters as soon as possible!"

Everyone nodded and activated their skills one after another, and their output capabilities suddenly increased a lot.

At this time, Zong Shen came to the front line again. He was not busy participating in the battle, but inserted several [Healing Guards] on the front line to heal the injuries and restore the health of the soldiers on the front line.

At the same time, he told the mages and frontline soldiers not to hold back. Except for the powerful fourth-level summoning skills, all other skills were thrown towards the group of cave monsters.

The two Claw Druids transformed into bears on the spot, becoming two violent bears over two meters tall.

Zong Shen stood there and directly activated the [Gargoyle Ring] skill to summon two ghouls, and then activated the [Teroka Violent Bear Armor] skill to summon two violent bear warriors. This was also Not finished yet, Zong Shen took out the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] again and summoned three Avalon level 4 strong swordsmen.

He created an army of summoned objects directly at the place where he came from. With a wave of his hand, these summoned warriors rushed towards the location where Favid's two-headed hell dogs were showing off their power.

That area will be contracted by the summoned army!

After some auxiliary operations, Zong Shen left directly to the north of the territory. Although this was the area with the largest number of monsters, it was also the area with the most defensive power.

Zong Shen walked directly along the open space in the north of the territory to the west of the territory. He also inserted a few [Healing Guards] to relieve the pressure on the soldiers here. Then when the time was right, he directly used the communication crystal to dial number 9. This is [Heavy Combat Puppet] The crystal number in the body used for the transmission of magic energy nodes.

After the connection, the power of the magic core began to be transmitted to all parts of the [Heavy Combat Puppet]'s body.

The head of the fully enclosed visor of the five-meter-tall combat puppet flashed a red light, like an awakened Cyclops.

"Bah!"

Its mechanical joints sprayed out streams of pneumatic white smoke.

He began to swing his iron fist at the surrounding cave monsters!

With an armor value of up to 70 points, most crypt monsters cannot break its defense.

The same goes for gargoyles. The thick rune metal shell gives it strong resistance to strikes.

However, its magic resistance is only 45 points. At present, only the ghost banshees and crypt heroes in the monster group can cause limited damage to the [Heavy Combat Puppet].

The most critical point is that this guy has the body of a passive skill puppet. He has no emotions, is not afraid of pain, and ignores most mental and soul control skills such as ridicule, fear, and intimidation.

This makes Ghost Banshee's most notorious control skill "Occupy" lose its usefulness, and the [Heavy Combat Mecha] is like being in a no-man's land. The crypt monsters can't hit it, but it can. Gotta touch the crypt monster.

[Heavy Combat Mecha] waved its heavy iron fist directly at the monster group. The huge mechanical body swayed and moved around, attracting a lot of damage from the monster group, allowing the frontline warriors to deal more calmly.

All the lords responsible for guarding the west side of the territory looked at Zong Shen with more and more admiration.

They had noticed the [Heavy Combat Puppet] placed in the open space outside the territory before and regarded it as some kind of special defensive structure. Now the puppet showed its power and attacked the group of cave monsters unscrupulously, successfully disrupting the situation by itself. After seeing that small area of ​​crypt monsters, they realized how sharp Zong Shen's deployment was.

Zong Shen did not stop in the west. He just did some auxiliary work here and walked towards the south.

The southern side of the territory needs to deal with a group of cave monsters numbering around 20,000. It is the smallest group of monsters besieging the territory and is also the direction with the least defense in the territory. Zong Shen's main target is placed here.

The defensive power in other directions is absolutely sufficient, and the killing speed is also very fast. After most of the crypt zombies and fanged worms have been wiped out, what is left is the confrontation between the lords, the ghost banshees and the crypt heroes. .

By then it will enter a real white-hot stage.

There will inevitably be some casualties. Zong Shen estimated that about 10% of the personnel would be killed. However, Zong Shen had already warned his soldiers, including the kobolds, in advance.

As soon as there is any trouble, they will deal with it carefully, and whether it is the equipment of supplies or the combat experience against the cave monsters, Zong Shen's warriors have obvious advantages. Zong Shen's requirements for his warriors In fact, it is very simple, that is, fight as hard as you can while ensuring the safety of your own life, and do not fight a battle that is uncertain or motivated.

Because these were not life-and-death battles, he still cherished his soldiers.

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend never dies a poor Taoist. Zong Shen can put more effort into fighting and even provide some auxiliary props, but he will not let his men sacrifice their lives.

When Zong Shen came to the south of the territory, it was already nearly twenty minutes after the regional boss arrived. Ground melee troops cooperated with long-range troops, as well as defense fortifications and defensive buildings, making the entire battle relatively smooth, especially the [Giant Turret] 】, the group attack capability of the territory was increased by 20% out of thin air.

According to this trend, if everything goes well, all the crypt monster groups around the territory will be cleared away in another ten or twenty minutes.

There was fighting on all sides of the territory. Although the three [Holy Light Towers] could basically cover the entire periphery of the territory, the amount of treatment was insufficient.

On average, the total treatment amount per minute is around 4800 points, which is indeed biased towards the auxiliary effect.

It relieves the pressure of combat, improves the endurance of the battle, and allows the fighters on the front line to fight hand-to-hand more firmly. If there are more than a dozen Holy Light Towers, it will be different. The amount of treatment can basically maintain the entire body. The warrior fought without injury.

In the south of the territory, there are about two hundred lords guarding it, accounting for one-sixth of the total number of supporting lords in the entire territory. It is considered a relatively weak side among the four directions.

Zong Shen stood outside the southern territory and also planted several [Healing Guards] on the front line.

Then he silently took out the two big knives he always kept.
