Chapter 0077 Battle
In addition to the basic defensive strength, Kevin is particularly concerned about the strength of the fallen apprentices.
According to past practice, there are at least 2-3 quasi-wizards among the 6 fallen apprentices, and the rest are all senior apprentices. But today, there is something strange. There is only one quasi-wizard among the 6 fallen apprentices, which makes Kevin a little confused.
You know, the situation of the fallen apprentices is absolutely different from that of the orthodox wizard tower. The number of apprentices in the orthodox wizard tower is basically pyramid-shaped. If you want to train a quasi-wizard, you need at least 5-10 senior apprentices as backup. And to train a senior apprentice, you also know that you need 5-10 intermediate apprentices as backup, and so on...
It is precisely by relying on the accumulation of numbers and the inclination of resources that the wizard tower can discover elite apprentices with equally amazing potential and talent from hundreds of junior apprentices, and then cultivate them.
But the apprentice structure of the fallen wizards hiding underground is completely different.
In the fallen wizard camp, there are almost no junior and intermediate apprentices. In their eyes, waste does not need to exist, and all resources must be concentrated in the hands of apprentices with potential and strength. Therefore, under this cruel and brutal Black Forest Law, the ratio of quasi-witches among the fallen apprentices is extremely high, and sometimes it can even reach a 1:1 ratio with senior apprentices!
This is also the most troublesome thing for the elite apprentices in the training camp!
If the two sides encounter each other, there is still a fight if the number of quasi-witches is equal, but once the number of quasi-witches on their side is insufficient, the battle is likely to be a one-sided defeat. After all, for senior apprentices, quasi-witches without the same-level opponent to contain them are the difference between a wolf and a goat. Even if the goats are well-armed and their number is several times that of the opponent, they are still powerless to resist an unscrupulous wolf.
But who would have thought that there was only one quasi-witch among the six fallen apprentices in the No. 7 mine today, and this configuration ratio is obviously lower than the normal level. In contrast, there are two quasi-witches among the six members of Kevin's team, and the rest are powerful senior apprentices.
Such strength is enough to crush the opponent head-on!
As for the 17 underground mercenaries, except for a few strong guys who need to be paid attention to, the others are almost ignored by the apprentices. If a fight between apprentices really breaks out, those guys, no matter how many there are, are just rotten meat sent to die.
According to Grimm's idea, such a battle with an advantage must be a battle of teasing, assassination and ambush, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks can be used. But when the battle really started, he was dumbfounded.
So the underground battle was carried out like this!
Without concealing his superior strength, Kevin led 5 teammates, Grimm and Mary, and quickly blocked the entrance of Mine No. 7, and then threw two elemental fireballs in a deterrent way, and the opposing defense forces swarmed out of the mine.
This is a natural cave with an area of three football fields, which is just suitable as a battlefield for the two sides to fight.
It can be seen that this place has also been tested. There were stalagmites and stalactites that collapsed in all directions, broken rock walls with scorched or black spots, and the stone slabs on the ground were covered with mottled bloodstains that had not been cleaned for many years.
At both ends of the cave, the two forces quickly formed a formation and confronted each other 200 meters apart.
The underground mercenaries were of course the ones who were in the front.
The mercenary equipment was incomplete, and most of the mercenaries could not even get a set of leather armor that was suitable for the occasion. They walked onto the battlefield in tattered clothes. The 17 mercenaries included 3 jackal assassins, 2 lizard tamers, 1 mind catcher and 11 werewolf warriors.
Among these guys, except for the 3 jackal assassins and the mind catcher, they needed to be a little careful. The others went to the battlefield just to attract their own attention and attract the firepower.
The fallen quasi-witch hiding behind the team was a middle-aged man with a dark and thin face. When he saw the two surface quasi-witches in the opposite team, his face was so gloomy that black water could be squeezed out.
Damn it, damn it, damn it... Fili, that bastard, said that there was no problem for him to leave for a day or two. How did they block the upper passage and let down such a powerful team? Fili, you bastard, if this garrison mission fails, all the responsibilities will be borne by you!
He roared madly in his heart, but on the surface, the fallen quasi-witch was still calm and began to issue combat orders.
Colorful elemental protection began to rise on the bodies of wizard apprentices, bright red flame shields, crackling lightning shields, suddenly filled with pink smoke, cold ice crystal armor, and green thorn armor...
Almost in an instant, all wizard apprentices wrapped their bodies in elemental protection of different colors, shapes, and effects.
Of course, this is only a benefit for the apprentices, and those mercenaries who serve as meat shields cannot enjoy it.
At some point, the three gnoll assassins in the enemy team disappeared, and the two lizard summoners chanted loudly in the obscure lizard language, and soon summoned four tall petrified lizards with thick skin and flesh in front of them. 11 werewolf warriors wore worn leather armor, holding flails or thick wooden sticks in one hand and holding simple wooden shields in the other, shouting and rushing towards this side.
Behind them, after the fallen apprentices completed their individual protection, they hurriedly chanted loud spells. This time, they all chanted offensive witchcraft spells.
"Grimm, these small fish are all in your hands!" Although Kevin was a senior apprentice who preferred close-range attacks, after giving Grimm a loud order, he and his companions still chose to fight back with long-range witchcraft.
Since Mary became a vampire, she seemed to have forgotten all the witchcraft before, and currently only had some passive racial talents. Therefore, facing such a battle situation, she flashed into the surrounding shadows and disappeared.
Dozens of colorful offensive witchcrafts crossed in the air of the cave, intercepting or colliding, turning it into a gorgeous elemental ocean. The violent and irregular elemental explosion swept the middle of the battlefield, and also involved the werewolf team that was shouting and charging.
Less than half of the 11 werewolf warriors were lucky enough to pass through the death zone. Even the remaining 5 were scarred and frightened. Unfortunately, before they could regroup and form a formation again, a huge monster that stood tall and proud suddenly appeared in front of them.
The earth spears and a large area of ground spears that were thrown out with a hissing sound killed them all in one encounter. This shows the fragility of ordinary underground creatures when facing witchcraft users.
Grimm rode on the magic crocodile, but did not drive it straight in.
The fallen apprentices on the opposite side were in a neat formation. If he didn't know how to live or die and approached, the opponent only needed one volley to blow him and the magic crocodile into pieces.
Grimm figured it out. No wonder the two sides had to put up such a neat formation that was similar to the battle between the two armies of the human kingdom. The fundamental reason was the terrifying attack power of elemental witchcraft. Don't look at those quasi-witches who seem to be high and mighty. In small-scale battles, they often beat three or two senior apprentices to death and flee. But in this situation, even with their arrogance and arrogance, they dare not easily break into the opponent's formation.
The basic defense of the individual defensive witchcraft of the quasi-witches is mostly between 80 and 100 points. Such defense can be broken by the witchcraft volleys of 3 senior apprentices. Therefore, before they advance to wizards, before their own magic resistance can withstand small witchcraft volleys, they dare not take risks in person.
So even though his side has an advantage in the number of quasi-witches, Kevin still chose the most reliable oppression tactics, using his own superior witchcraft power to crush the opponent's team head-on.
You don't say, after just two rounds of witchcraft attacks, the gap in witchcraft power between the two sides became obvious. Although there were many witchcrafts intercepted and counterattacked, the number of witchcrafts that Kevin's side fell into the enemy's battle formation was obviously more than that of the other side.
In the brilliant and explosive witchcraft wave, the team of fallen apprentices began to panic.
Most of the fallen apprentices' external protection became a little dim, and a few guys were injured. On the other hand, Kevin's team was still in good order, well-protected, and seemed so strong.
Grimm stood high above the demon crocodile, allowing the native hunters to continuously throw earth spears to attack the petrified lizards that were slowly climbing forward. He also followed Kevin's command and contributed a flame spear, which blew up a senior apprentice in the enemy team and made him cry like a wolf.
He stood high, saw far, and had a comprehensive view of the situation. He soon found out where Mary was going.
At the edge of the battlefield, in the shadows, a muffled groan suddenly came out.
Then a hazy and illusory figure of a jackal assassin suddenly appeared, staggering a few steps with his hand covering his throat, and fell to his knees on the ground. The cheerful and surging blood kept gushing out through the fingers, and it couldn't be covered no matter how hard it tried.
Just as it was about to die with a muffled groan, one or two crisp sounds of metal clashing suddenly came from the nearby shadows. Soon, another gnoll assassin was forced out of the shadows, his eyes had been blinded, and his body was covered with horrible claw marks of varying depths. It waved its dagger wildly at the void and shouted loudly, but unfortunately it could no longer see any enemies.
When the blood in its body had almost flowed out, it fell down with a low hiss.
The consecutive deaths of two companions finally frightened the third person. The last gnoll assassin suddenly showed up, turned around and fled to the distance at the fastest speed. Unfortunately, before it ran out ten meters, a dazzling red light flashed, and its head soared into the sky, leaving only the headless body. It ran a few more steps before turning over and falling.
The thin and ugly body twitched unconsciously a few times, and there was no movement anymore. chapter;
