Chapter 359: Offense and Defense Game
The first round of long-range shooting between the two sides was basically a draw.
However, Gao Fei had already built a complete anti-aircraft fortification. If the two sides continued to shoot at each other, August's casualties would definitely be greater.
The old white dragon realized that the situation was becoming unfavorable to his side, and hurriedly spent two strategic actions in this round to cast "Wind Creation" and "Mist Creation" successively.
The strong wind created by magic blew away the javelin flying in the air.
A large mass of thick fog shrouded the heads of the orc infantry regiment, hindering Gao Fei's vision. If he continued to throw javelins, he would most likely miss.
Gao Fei frowned at the fog swirling on the opposite position, raised his hand to signal his soldiers to stop attacking, it was not worth wasting javelins in vain.
Is there any way to dispel the fog?
The "Wind Creation" of the Sky Druid is a good choice.
But Gao Fei has already issued combat orders to the sky druids this round. If he wants this unit to cast spells, he has to wait until the next round to pass the order to the front line.
In addition, is there any other way?
Gao Fei still has two "strategic actions" that have not been used this round.
He looked at his active ability list and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Gao Fei spent the first strategic action and fired a "fireball" at the orc army shrouded in clouds and mist.
Long-range group attack magic is different from javelin bows and crossbows. It does not need to hit the target accurately, but the general direction is correct.
The fireball hit the orc position, exploded with a loud bang, and flames flew, instantly killing all the orc infantry within 20 feet around!
The high temperature and high pressure released by the fireball explosion formed a shock wave, which blew away all the fog around, exposing the miserable scene of blood and flesh and smoke on the position.
Gao Fei's offensive is not over yet.
Using the second strategic action of this round, Gao Fei used the "fireball technique" to ignite the wooden barricades on the enemy's position as a catalyst to detonate the "fireworks technique", instantly releasing a strong flash!
The strong light radiated a wide range. In addition to the orc infantry company, other adjacent troops and some frost giants in the rear were also stabbed in the eyes by the strong light and temporarily became blind.
The blinded frost giants will not be able to throw stones in the next round.
So far, Gao Fei, as the main general, has used up all the instructions and strategic actions of this round.
Next, it was the turn of his lieutenants to take action.
The first to take action was Eve, who opened a fire wall about 20 feet high and 200 feet long towards the enemy's position, like a bright red curtain, separating the orcs and the frost giants.
The side of the fire wall facing the frost giants automatically erupts a wave of flames every round, with a basic damage of 6d6, and double damage to cold subspecies creatures. If the nearby frost giants are sprayed by the fire wall, they will receive an average of 42 points of burning damage!
The frost giants don't want to stand there stupidly and be roasted like suckling pigs, so they retreat in panic to the area far away from the control of the fire wall.
At the same time, Jiang Feng took advantage of the chaos in the enemy's position and quietly activated the "Void Escape". His figure disappeared in the portal. In a blink of an eye, he passed through a circle of silver halo and appeared in the area where the frost giants gathered. He raised his hand and made a "Yangyan Palm"!
Boom!
The Yangyan Qi gathered into a torrent of golden torrents, sweeping across the enemy's position.
The palm force covered a 60-foot cone area in front, and at least 10 frost giants were hit. Most of them failed to pass the reflex immunity, and received an average of 53 points of damage. They were blinded by the flash and were like useless people. They could no longer play a role in the subsequent battles.
Jiang Feng had already used up two strategic actions in this round, and could not activate "Void Escape" to teleport back again.
If she stayed in the enemy's position for a round, she would inevitably be surrounded. It would be difficult to withdraw in the next round of action.
Fortunately, she had added "Flying Step" in advance. After the surprise attack, she immediately flew out of the ground encirclement and flew to the sky above her own position.
On the way, she passed the patrol area of the enemy's White Dragon Guard, and it was reasonable to suffer the White Dragon's opportunity attack.
But Jiang Feng was well prepared and activated "Agile Action" to execute "Retreat" at the right time, thus avoiding the opportunity attack and retreating safely.
After the first round of the battle between the enemy and us ended, each side counted the losses.
On Gao Fei's side, only a very small number of soldiers were injured by flying stones and lost the ability to continue fighting. They were carried back to the field hospital behind on stretchers to recuperate.
After receiving treatment from druid magic, the lightly injured were basically healed and could continue to fight.
On August's side, the number of casualties was much more severe.
One orc infantry company was completely wiped out, and the remaining 19 orc infantry companies also suffered varying degrees of casualties.
More than a dozen frost giants were attacked by Eve and Jiang Feng, and were seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield.
As for the orcs and frost giants who were slightly injured, there were countless of them.
If the battle continued at this pace, August's troops would collapse sooner or later.
At the beginning of the second round, it was the old white dragon who took the initiative again.
August had realized that he could not passively defend, so he assembled his orc infantry regiment and ordered them to move the barricades and charge at Gao Fei's position!
The frost giant troops still sat in the rear, throwing stones with all their might to cover the orc troops' advance.
After the last round of running-in, Gao Fei had adapted to the "strategic mode" gameplay and calmly issued a series of combat orders.
First, he ordered all wind druids to continue air defense and control the wind element transformed into a whirlwind to blow away the flying stones.
Then, Gao Fei ordered all the water druids to move forward and cast "Greasy" on the route of the orc army's charge, forming a slippery pit.
The water druids who finished casting retreated, and the Berserkers and Bears, holding battle axes and shields, moved forward, guarded the greasy traps, and taunted the orcs on the opposite side.
Although the orc infantrymen were not very smart, they were experienced in combat. They would not foolishly step on the large pool of black sludge emerging from the ground from a distance.
But just when they were about to bypass the trap, the barbarians on the opposite side began to taunt them and cursed, making them furious. They threw all their rationality behind them and rushed forward with a roar.
As a result, they stepped on the greasy traps one after another and rolled on the ground.
At the same time, the fire druids and earth druids also received Gao Fei's orders and moved to the front line of the battlefield, each casting the 2nd ring "Burning Sphere" and the 2nd ring "Rolling Stone".
The fireball created by the fire druid will not explode directly like the "fireball spell", but will be remotely controlled by the caster and roll forward along the ground.
The orcs who fell into the greasy trap were crushed by the "flaming sphere" before they could get up, suffering 2d6 fire damage and being ignited, turning into a group of human torches.
The next to roll over was the huge stone ball created by the earth druid.
The orcs crushed by the "rolling stone spell" suffered an average of 10d6 blunt force damage, and were basically crushed into meat patties on the spot.
The stone ball rolled forward for one round (6 seconds), then ran out of magic power and turned into a pile of rubble.
The damage of the "flaming sphere" is not as high as that of the "rolling stone spell", but it lasts longer. In the next 4 rounds, it can still be controlled by the druid and continue to hit the enemy.
