Chapter 455 Magic War

The drow also blew the battle horn. More slave servants were driven out of the forest and formed a siege around the flame circle, waiting for the Goliaths to come to them.

Dealing with the woad tree people was a conspiracy, using their uncontrolled anger to lead them into the flame circle.

After the woad tree people joined the game, the rest was an open conspiracy.

Whether Misnoel was saved or not, it would be a loss.

If they were saved, they would have to fight with fewer people and face the army coming out of the city of Delnox.

If they didn't save them, their reputation would be ruined, and the natural races of the Mir Forest would be completely shocked and dare not come to surrender easily.

They were also slave soldiers, but those who rushed to the woad tree people were not the same as those who rushed to the woad tree people before.

Those who rushed towards the woad tree people earlier were mainly beasts from the Mir Forest. They were definitely cannon fodder among cannon fodders, and were sent to the woad tree people to kill in order to lure them into the fire trap.

Those who rushed towards the Mythnoel defenders were the foundation accumulated by the city of Delnox over the years, supplemented by the natives of the Mir Forest and mainly creatures from the Underdark.

Owlbears, forest tigers, forest leopards, gnolls, hobgoblins, terror claws, and troglodytes.

Wherever the slave servants charged, a series of dark spells would explode, turning the place into a land covered by black fog.

Most of the slave soldiers driven by the drow elves had dark vision, especially the dark creatures, many of which were afraid of light.

And where the mixed team passed, another daylight spell exploded, turning the place into daylight.

Daylight spell.

Third-ring spell.

It is the standard for fighting against the drow elves.

For the dark creatures, it is not only an illumination spell, but also a flash bomb that can directly blind the eyes.

On the contrary, the mixed team was minimally affected.

Because the shadow eye mask is their standard equipment, this specialty of the ghost textile factory can not only see through the shadows, but also play a certain role in filtering light, just like wearing sunglasses.

One positive and one negative, the effect is life and death.

The Goliath barbarian's accumulated attack is not so easy to bear. As long as it is chopped, it will be disabled if not dead.

Autumn Wind Brani used practical actions to interpret what autumn wind sweeps fallen leaves, but what they sweep is not fallen leaves, but life.

The twelve mixed combat teams are like twelve extremely sharp scalpels.

Directly cut out twelve narrow passages in the phalanx of slave soldiers of the drow elves.

The Goliath regiment following behind them is an absolute bulldozer. Wherever they go, there is no slave soldier who can still stand.

Most of the attacks from the slave soldiers were like tickling them, and posed no threat at all.

Fortunately, the number of the defenders of Misnoel was small, no more than 300 at most.

If it were replaced by 2,000 elite soldiers, it is estimated that the drow elves' camp would be broken at once.

"Fireball!"

Countless red projectiles the size of glass beads flew up from the drow elves' camp, getting bigger and bigger. When they landed, they had become the size of a head and exploded with a bang. Violent shock waves and terrifying heat waves swept across at the same time.

The drow elves directly used a wave of fireballs to wash the ground. There were more than 30 fireballs in a round, so that many areas overlapped directly.

Fireball is known as the most commonly used spell in Faerun, especially on the battlefield.

First, it is easy to get started. It is only a third ring and six casting levels are enough. This is when it is cast by its own ability.

But in fact, many spellcasters only need three or four spellcasting levels, and the rest can be left to a fireball wand plus special casting skills.

Second, its good range of lethality is enough to harvest the lives of a wave of low-level soldiers.

Jumping!

When the drow elves' fireballs washed the ground.

Magical auras exploded on Goliath at the same time.

Those Goliath soldiers seemed to be fighting alone, but in fact, each of them was followed by a fey druid to provide them with auxiliary spells.

And the first-level jumping spell is one of the most helpful spells for Goliath soldiers.

They have good jumping ability, and with the power of spells, they are really evil.

Directly turned into a human grasshopper, and got up with a bang.

Jumping four or five meters high is ordinary.

Jumping five or six meters high is very common.

Jumping six or seven meters high is outstanding.

Those who jumped seven or eight meters were no longer jumping, but gliding and flying.

The explosion radius of the fireball spell was only six meters, and many people jumped directly outside the explosion radius. Even those who did not jump out had already avoided the impact of the fire wave, and the lethality was really limited.

This ingenious way of evasion surprised not only the slave soldiers, but even the drow elves.

They knew that these goliaths had amazing jumping abilities, but they did not expect it to be so amazing, completely breaking the normal limitations of the human body.

This was not the end.

Those holding large longbows had already drawn their bows before jumping, and only released the bowstrings in their hands after their bodies reached the highest point.

The target was the drow elf spellcasters who had previously exposed their identities because of the fireball spell.

What they shot out were not arrows, but thick and long javelins.

Each drow spellcaster was targeted by at least two Goliath archers, and the chance of dodging two arrows at the same time was greatly reduced.

Several were killed on the spot, and several were seriously injured. For the rest, even if they were not dead, the success rate of casting spells again would be greatly reduced. Such thick and long arrows nailed to the body would greatly affect the movement and will.

Even if he could cast it, the drow commander did not dare to rashly use fireball to clean the ground.

The previous wave of fireballs had limited lethality to the Goliaths, but it was quite terrifying to their own slave warriors.

The number of people killed by the explosion even exceeded the number of Goliaths' previous attacks.

After two more rounds of bombing, those slave soldiers would have to flee first.

Hidden in the dense forest, Fu Xing Ye Ying watched the entire battlefield coldly, looking sideways at the beautiful snake beside him and said, "Lord Lilith, is it time to send your people into the field?"

Lord Medusa smiled and said, "How many people do I have? The city lord knows it. If you rush out rashly, you can't withstand the violent jump and slash of these Goliaths. You let your people completely entangle them, and then my people can exert their true power and break the deadlock."

After listening to Lord Medusa's defense, Fu Xing Ye Ying's face, which was already dark enough, became even darker.

This cunning venomous snake is unwilling to suffer any loss.

This is to use his people as cannon fodder, and her people will follow behind to reap the benefits.

But it is undeniable that in terms of tactics, what the other party said is indeed the most reasonable arrangement.

Fu Xing Ye Ying waved his hand heavily and issued the latest order: "The whole army will attack."

Kill!

This time, the ones surging out were no longer just slave soldiers, but well-equipped drow elves, among whom there were also dark figures emitting cold air, which were real shadows.

It was still the darkness spell that led the way, one after another.

Goliath had just used the daylight spell to dispel it, and the drow elves immediately added another one, but it was no longer a darkness spell, but a more powerful deep darkness spell.

This was a third-level spell, not only covering a larger range than the darkness spell, but also neutralizing the positive energy left by the daylight spell, returning everything around to darkness again.

This spell was not the spell-like ability of the drow elves, but the spellcasting ability of the priest Velen.

Normally, both were third-level spells.

The positive energy contained in the daylight spell and the negative energy contained in the deep darkness spell were the same.

When the two met, they would cancel each other out, but when the daylight spell was countering the darkness spell just now, it had consumed part of the spell power, so after being suppressed by the deep darkness spell, it would still show the original darkness spell effect.

However, there are enough Fey Druids in the Goliath camp, and the Daylight spells are also being cast as if they are free.

On the battlefield, the last thing to consider is consumption.

The most important thing is to cast all the spells that can be cast to create advantages for your side.

If there are still powerful magics that have not been cast, it means that the time has not come yet and you cannot create the maximum benefit for yourself. This is a backup for yourself.

The Lord of Delnox City, Fuxing Yeying, has a backup, and the Lord of Misnoel, Gavin, the Restarter, also has a backup.

Every war is a gamble, just to see who can read the opponent's bottom card first and make sure that they still have a trump card in their hands.

The cards that are fighting hard on the battlefield are just the cards in the hands of two gamblers.

At present, the situation is beginning to slide towards the side of the drow elves.

Dark magic is an innate spell-like ability of the drow elves, and each drow elf can use it once a day at will.

Daylight requires six druid casting levels, and even among the fey, druids of this level are not so common.

At the end of the competition, the entire battlefield will be submerged in darkness, and only at a critical moment will a daylight spell explode in it, revealing the chaos inside.

Those Goliaths have switched from strategic offense to strategic defense, relying on each other to guard against sneak attacks from the darkness.

Their feet are already covered with green vines.

This is an innate ability of many fey, such as the entanglement spell that the pixie can cast once a day.

In this environment, if you are not careful, you will not be able to sneak attack the enemy, but will fall into an irretrievable situation.

However, the darkness covers far more than just the figure, and also makes some spells extremely targeted. From time to time, the angry roar of those Goliaths can be heard in the darkness.

"Death Cloud, those drow elves cast Death Cloud, three Daylight spells cover it, it is moving to the southeast, warriors along the way should take precautions to avoid it."

"I have one here too."

"I have one here too."

Death Cloud is a five-ring spell.

This is a very overbearing mass killing spell.

After casting, it will form a thick fog that is seven or eight meters long, eight meters wide, and four or five meters high. The color is dim yellow-green and has strong toxicity. Once you are covered by the fog.

Creatures with less than three life dice have no chance of survival and die instantly.

Creatures with four to six hit dice depend on whether your physique is strong enough. If you can survive it, you will die instantly if you cannot resist it. Even if you survive it, if you don't escape immediately, these creatures in the thick fog will die instantly. The highly toxic substances will also continuously damage the constitution of the creatures in them (1D4 constitution damage per round). Once the constitution reaches zero, it will be the moment of death.

How many points of physical fitness does a person have?

Even a strong Goliath, most of them are only 17 or 18 points, and can be poisoned to death in less than a minute.

Creatures with six or more Hit Dice can survive without making a Constitution resistance, but the sustained damage cannot be saved unless you have the special ability of immunity to poison.

Under normal circumstances, this spell has a fatal flaw. It moves slowly (moves forward three meters per round), and the coverage range is not too large. Especially for Goliath, who has the terrifying jumping ability, it is just a vertical jump. It is difficult to cover them.

But under the shroud of darkness, by the time it was discovered, this spell had already exerted its first wave of damage.

"Don't panic, don't be confused, kobold trap maker, cast the trap technique in the center of the Death Cloud Technique."

A clear command sounded in the darkness, and pits appeared silently one after another.

The movement of the Death Cloud Techniques was restrained and began to flow slowly towards the pit.

This is another characteristic of the Death Cloud Technique. It is heavier than air and will flow downwards, even into caves or depressions.

This feature will play a special role in some special battles. For example, when facing small caves or depressions that cannot be drilled into, you can use this spell to force enemies out and deal with large numbers of underground insect enemies, such as giant giants. Ants work wonders.

But it will be restricted by the special spell of trap.

The trap technique of the kobold trap maker is a third-level spell. Using it to destroy a fifth-level spell is a very profitable business in spell confrontation.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

It was only on the front foot that the Death Cloud Technique was solved, and the drow priests on the back foot also caused a lot of trouble.

The sky was filled with the sound of fat locusts flapping their wings.

Swarms of pests.

It is also a five-ring spell.

Locust swarms can be summoned, with a swarm summoned every three career levels.

These swarming insects not only have mind-disturbing properties, but also carry diseases. If you continue to be bitten by them, you will be poisoned, and they will also directly damage your body.

Tweet!

Hoho!

Before these insect swarms could begin their official attack, they were completely wiped out.

Because reinforcements from Myth Noel have arrived.

The sky is filled with overwhelming flocks of birds. Although these insect swarms are summoned by magic, they are also locusts and will be restrained by their natural enemies. When tens of thousands of flying birds pass by from the sky, even if they are still There are still locusts left, but they cannot gather into swarms and pose no threat.

There was a tremor on the ground. Bison, wild sheep, wild deer, wild boars, tigers, forest leopards, owl bears, etc., various magical and non-magical Mir Forest creatures, rumbled across the battlefield, destroying the place. They seemed to have a certain degree of spirituality. At least they could recognize the aura of the Misnoel defenders and actively avoid them.

As for the rest, they are not polite.

They just launched a wave of collision attacks and disappeared deep into the Mir Forest.

These birds and beasts are the indigenous people of Mir Forest who drove away the canker disease in Misnoel some time ago.

Although Gavin cannot command them, he can influence and drive them away, allowing them to launch a wave of impact according to the biological instinct.

The effect is surprisingly good.

They became disruptors on the battlefield, completely disrupting the drow's attack rhythm.

After this huge group of birds and beasts disappeared, Misnoel's defenders had taken the opportunity to complete the reorganization of the team, and changed the direction of attack, taking a detour to the other direction of the flame encirclement.

Even though the drow quickly caught up and fought with them again, the battlefield they had spent so much effort preparing was useless and had to be prepared again.

However, many drow have exhausted their spell casting times and can no longer block out the sky and connect the dark spells like before.

The battlefield is like a leper's scalp, with patches here and there.

Seeing that his carefully prepared tactics were actually destroyed by a group of birds and beasts, Fu Xing Yeying held back his anger and said angrily: "Lord Lilith, how long are you going to wait?"

"As you wish." Lord Medusa did not shirk anymore this time and ordered his subordinates to blow the attack horn.

There's a distinct snake hiss in her attack horn, long and tapering, unmistakable.

The trees swayed, and huge monsters came out of the dense forest. They had a body shape that was stronger than a bull. Their legs were not on the bottom of the body, but on both sides. The typical lizard shape was not four, but They were eight, thick and strong, and their steps were very heavy, as if what they were carrying on their shoulders was not ordinary flesh, but a huge stone statue.

The blue-gray back is covered with sharp spikes, which are rust-colored. The huge head seems to be directly inserted into the thick body, and the mouth is full of sharp fangs.

The most unique thing is that their eyes are filled with substantial magical aura, and the blue-grey color inside seems to bloom at any time.

"Basic lizards, so many of them!"

"Are basic lizards this big? I remember they are medium-sized monsters!"

"Wild basic lizards are indeed medium-sized monsters, but the basic lizards raised by Medusa usually evolve into large sizes."

"Be careful of their petrified gazes, keep your distance, lower your head, and don't look them in the eye!"

"So many basic lizards, so huge, they must be raised by Medusa, and those beautiful snakes may be mixed in, be careful not to be ambushed by them."

Many people can tell the identity of this monster at a glance.

This is a deadly hunter in the dark area, especially in caves.
