Chapter 442: Weather Control
An hour later, the allies garrisoned on the north shore of Ice Ring Lake sent a reply.
The three old chiefs are having urgent consultations, and once they reach a consensus, they will immediately lead their troops to come for reinforcements.
Before that, little brother Basaka has to work hard and persevere.
Seeing this reply, the young barbarian chief became furious and tore the sheepskin letter to pieces!
This is so urgent, what a waste of time to negotiate!
After you three old bastards have discussed it, will you come and collect my body?
Eve quickly comforted her husband to calm down.
Basaka suppressed his anger and considered the serious situation he was currently facing.
The enemy army is coming, but our allies have yet to move.
Even if the three old guys can reach a consensus as soon as possible and gather troops to come for reinforcements, it will be difficult to arrive before dusk.
In other words, one's own side must hold the position for a whole day with insufficient troops until reinforcements arrive.
This is no easy task!
“Looking back at the time when Holy Ax Town was liberated, the people wholeheartedly welcomed us, and we took advantage of the opportunity.”
"That state of vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes. Could it be that in just one year, this ice-ringed lake will become my burial place?"
The young barbarian chief held the hand of his beloved wife with a heavy heart.
He was exhausted mentally and physically, and was really not sure of winning this battle, so he had to silently pray to his guardian angel for divine guidance.
…
The game screen flashed, and Gao Fei received the "God Appearance" prompt.
"Brother Basaka, don't panic! As long as I'm here, there won't be any problems!"
Gao Fei first switched to the subjective perspective, and while Jiang Feng was peeing, he touched sister Eve's little hand...
Afterwards, he sat upright with a solemn look on his face and invited his allies to join his module.
"Come on, come on!"
Jiang Feng came back from the bathroom, wiped his hands, picked up the astrolabe, accepted Gao Fei's invitation, and entered the Ice Ring Lake battlefield as Yangyan monk Sumo.
The sky above the battlefield was overcast, and a blizzard was roaring and raging.
Jotunheim at the end of September was at the tail end of autumn, so logically there shouldn't be a snowstorm.
In fact, this sudden snowstorm was completely the product of magic.
The frost giant lord Gelmir, personally sitting in the ice tower, is using the 7-ring magic to "manipulate the weather", forcibly reversing the seasonal solar terms, summoning a blizzard over the battlefield, causing the temperature to drop sharply.
In this severe cold environment, the soldiers on the tribe's side were shivering with cold, their hands and feet were stiff, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
What's even worse is that the blizzard significantly reduced the visibility on the battlefield, providing a natural cover for the enemy troops launching a surprise attack.
The ice tower side is led by General Schroeder, the only remaining member of the "Big Three".
The troops involved in the attack can be subdivided into six corps.
Two of the regiments were orc infantry, totaling two thousand men.
There is also an orc cavalry regiment with a strength of 1,000 and equipped with 1,000 fierce and strong wargs.
In fact, the warg's combat effectiveness even exceeds that of the orc cavalry on its back.
General Schroeder is accompanied by a frost giant guard camp, consisting of 300 strong frost giant warriors.
There are also 300 Yitian troops composed of mobile troops, which are not only heavy cavalry battalions used to attack fortresses, but can also project javelins over long distances and provide long-range fire support.
The last unit is the white dragon swarming in the air.
In this battle, Gelmir made a desperate move and handed over all 100 white dragons to the command of General Schroeder as the vanguard of the raid.
Under the cover of the blizzard, the white dragons quickly flew over the position where the Basaka Corps was stationed, and swooped down in groups, spewing cold air.
After this wave of air raids, no fewer than 200 Asa warriors were killed and frostbitten on the position.
Compared with the number of casualties, the panic and chaos caused by White Dragon are more deadly.
Gao Fei quickly ordered his own White Dragon troops to take off to stop the attack.
50 white dragons fight against 100 white dragons, and our own air defense pressure is huge.
Gao Fei quickly opened the strategy mode panel to see what other cards he had available.
In addition to the 50 white dragon mercenaries, there are also two infantry regiments on the position, namely the "Mad Fighting Soldiers Group" of the Olaf tribe and the "Bear Fighting Soldiers Group" of the Vali tribe, with a total of 2,000 people, and the average professional level is level 5. .
The Berserker Soldiers are personally commanded by Gao Fei.
The Bear Soldiers were commanded by Chief Siegel.
In addition, Goofy has an army of spellcasters under his command.
There are 100 druids of the four elements of water, fire, wind, and earth each, all at level 5, and are commanded by Eve.
In strategic mode, each unit can execute one command each round.
In addition, the generals and lieutenants of both the enemy and ours each have one passive ability and two active commands (strategic actions).
After the battle started, the ice tower side that launched the surprise attack took the lead.
The enemy's general, Gelmir, is worthy of being the overlord of his side. His passive ability is called "Kingly Style", which improves the morale of all units under his command!
Gelmir's strategic actions can be used to cast spells, or to cast the "Frost Warlock"'s signature killing move "Frost Burst".
At the beginning of the battle, Gelmir cast two spells.
First, use the 7th ring "Control the Weather" to create a blizzard covering the entire battlefield, and then use the 5th ring "Control the Wind Direction" to blow the blizzard towards the Asa tribe's position.
The white dragon under Gelmir's command can fly with the wind with less effort and faster speed.
On the contrary, the white dragon on Gao Fei's side was in a headwind environment, and its mobility was obviously suppressed.
Schroeder, Gelmir's deputy general and front-line commander, has a passive ability to improve the morale of the frost giants.
General Schroeder has two strategic actions, "Earthquake" and "Big Whirlwind Slash", which can only be performed in close combat, and are temporarily useless.
At this time, the Ice Tower Army was still half a mile away from the defenders' defense line, and General Schroeder ordered his frost giants and Yi Tian Centaurs to launch a long-range attack.
Under normal circumstances, the ice blocks thrown by the frost giants and the javelins thrown by the Yi Tian Centaurs could not effectively kill targets half a mile away.
However, the wind and snow controlled by Gelmir provided convenience for these big shooters.
The range of ice blocks and javelins thrown with the wind was greatly increased, and they could actually cross half a mile and fall on the heads of the defenders like raindrops!
Gao Fei ordered the defenders to rely on the breast wall and raise their shields to block the ice blocks and javelins flying from the opposite side.
At the same time, the "Fire Druid" and "Water Druid" on their side were responsible for blessing their comrades with "Anti-Cold Barrier" to reduce the damage caused by the White Dragon's breath and treat the wounded.
100 Earth Druids collectively cast the 2nd level "Stone Shaping" to strengthen the front-line fortifications.
100 Sky Druids collectively summoned their natural partner "Wind Elemental", commanded the Wind Elemental to transform into a whirlwind form, and united to create a storm to offset the oncoming cold air flow and blow away the ice and javelins thrown by the Frost Giants and the Sky-Earing Centaurs.
In addition, the storm also weakened the mobility of the enemy White Dragon.
