Chapter 159 The Necromancer's Best Tactics (34)

Owl sentry.

After taking a deep breath and stabilizing her mind, Xia Lina quickly issued a battle order.

"Soldiers, fire freely! Don't let any necromancers approach the sentry post!"

"Rosen, you deal with those who slip through the net."

"Filin, Darry, you two raise your shield to protect Rosen!"

"clear."

"clear."

Following the order, the sentry soldiers began to draw their bows and arrows, and the exorcist warriors used their crossbows.

'Quack quack ~~ Beng Beng! '

The enchanted arrows emitted a bright yellow streamer, shooting towards the necromancer puppet more than a hundred meters away like flat meteors.

Regardless of whether the arrow hits the target or is inserted into the farmland, it will quickly catch fire and turn into a violently burning torch.

It's okay to insert it in the farmland, but once it's inserted into the body of the undead puppet, it will burn violently in its body, roasting the body tissue of the undead puppet.

For a necromancer puppet, the upper middle one will greatly affect its mobility, and the upper middle two will be lit to become a human-shaped torch, which will be burned and lose its ability to move within ten seconds.

The necromancer puppet originally only moved forward slowly, but suddenly accelerated.

They let out whimper-like howls, and occasionally spewed out all kinds of strange mucus from their mouths while howling. At the same time, they opened their arms, leaned forward, and ran staggeringly.

Because of the blocking of the farmland and crops, the running speed is not very fast, and the undead puppets often fall down.

But even so, within 20 seconds at most, he could cross a distance of more than [-] meters and rush under the guard wall of the sentry post.

With the fighting qualities of the sentry warriors and the exorcist warriors, if the numbers of the two sides are equal, or even only a few times different, then it is absolutely impossible for a necromancer of this level to charge within a hundred meters.

In the blink of an eye, you will be shot by enchanted scorching arrows,

But there are too many of them. Under the huge gap of 7 times, there are undead puppets constantly penetrating the defense line composed of arrows.

The fastest runners were only less than 60 meters away from the parapet, and the stench of rotting corpses in the air became very strong, making people want to vomit.

The scene was truly appalling.

The exorcist warrior was okay, but the sentry soldiers all showed horror, and their archery hands began to shake. Only the sentry captain, Anglo, could barely maintain his composure.

"Rosen!"

Xia Lina also couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure, and called out the magic strike loudly.

"coming!"

Following these words, there was a whistle-like sharp sound and yellow-white light spots flew out from the sentry post, rushing towards the undead puppet that had just entered the maximum range of the missile.

'drop!drop!drop!drop! '

Each light spot is about the size of a little fingertip, and the excitation speed is extremely fast, and the flying speed is also extremely fast. In one second, six light spots unexpectedly appeared.

Dexterous spellcasting. Extraordinary missiles in a six-hit combo.

Because the scale of the spell is extremely small, less than 30%, the ultimate casting speed is extremely fast, coupled with the proficiency of the master level, resulting in a violent attack effect of six bullets per second.

And because of the parallel casting technique of Serendis, the actual difficulty of casting the spell is only about 5 stars.

The most shocking thing is that the yellow-white spots of light are like scattered flowers from a goddess. They seem to be scattered, but they penetrate into the mouths of different necromancer puppets with great precision. After rushing into their chests, they explode violently.

'Bang bang bang~~'

The scorching flames scrambled in the body of the necromancer puppet, half of it penetrated into the abdominal cavity, and half of it sprayed out from the mouth, eyes, and nose, and it lost its mobility in one fell swoop.

But he was not dead yet. After falling to the ground, he was still slowly but firmly squirming towards the sentry post.

But the threat to the sentry has been lost.

Ferlin laughed out loud: "Rosen, your spells are getting stronger and stronger!"

It wasn't so violent last time.

Rosen smiled faintly: "I've been practicing hard all this time."

After that, the missiles always appeared in time, accurately intercepting every necromancer that slipped through the net, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.

But Sharina is still worried: "Rosen, do you have enough mana?"

She has been counting silently in her heart. From before the start of the war to now, Rosen has released more than 40 spells.

Although the various powers are not very strong, considering that Rosen has just reached the middle level, even if they are all low-level spells, they are still close to the limit.

Rosen gestured to her, meaning: "Don't panic, I still have 9% of my mana."

can do this.

One is smart casting and energy saving.

The second is the powerful blue potion.

To be honest, the mana he consumes with the small missile is actually almost the same as the recovery speed.

If the potion effect persists, he can cast small missiles for a day.

Seeing that there was still [-]% left, Xia Lina's mind suddenly settled down, and she immediately shouted: "With the glory of the Golden God, purify all the undead!"

'collapse!collapse!collapse! '

The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, the frequency of the sound of the bowstring vibration increased a lot, and even the hit rate increased slightly.

The undead puppets kept falling, and the number kept decreasing.

After about 5 minutes, more than 90 necromancer puppets have fallen.

Xia Lina shouted excitedly: "Soldiers, victory is at hand!"

In 5 minutes, she opened the strings 50 times, shot 50 crossbow arrows, and shot down 18 necromancer puppets by herself, accounting for more than [-]% of the other fighters.

Another master is Anglo. This guy is excellent in all kinds of martial arts, and his archery skills are also amazing. The necromancer he shot down is similar to that of Xia Lina.

As for Rosen, his fire bombs knocked down more than 30 undead puppets.

In the farmland, there were more than 50 necromancer puppets left. The one closest to the log wall was more than 80 meters away, and it did not pose a real threat to the sentry.

Seemingly feeling the hopelessness of victory, the Necromancer Puppet received some kind of order and began to turn around and retreat.

"Shoot! Shoot them all!" Xia Lina shouted immediately.

All the soldiers also put their lives to the test, and kept putting arrows on their bows, leaving as many undead puppets as possible.

Under this wave of attacks, another 20 necromancer puppets fell, and finally more than 30 necromancer puppets successfully escaped the range of the bow and arrow, and escaped into the protection of darkness again.

Xia Lina breathed out lightly, shook her sore arm, and spit outside the parapet regardless of her ladylike image.

"I thought how powerful this necromancer is, but that's all."

The other soldiers also laughed, a little excited, but more of the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe.

"Captain Xia Lina, what should we do now?"

Angore asked, his arms were also numb, and after relaxing, his arms trembled uncontrollably.

"It's still too dangerous outside, stay at the sentry until dawn, and then go back to the temple in Baima Town tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, she waved her hands to all the soldiers: "Everyone rest~ Hurry up to rest and recover your strength, and beware of the second wave of the necromancer's offensive."

As soon as these words came out, another layer of gloom was cast over the hearts of the sentry soldiers.

A sentry soldier asked: "Ma'am, there is a second wave of offensive? Will the Necromancer not be tired?"

Xia Lina sat down with her back against the parapet, gently squeezed her sore arm muscles, and said with a faint smile.

"Of course I will be tired, but certainly not as tired as us."

"why?"

"Because he controls the corpses. There is a lot of vitality left in these corpses. What he does is activate these vitality, not the mana itself."

Sharina explained carefully.

"In addition, the body of the puppets in that wave just now rotted badly, and their movements were slow, which means that they have been dead for a while, and they are useless consumables."

"So, this first wave is not only a temptation, but also to consume our strength."

"This is also the most commonly used and best tactic of necromancers."

The sentry soldiers suddenly fell silent, and looked at each other in blank dismay, most of the joy of the rest of their life just now dissipated.

Anglo was worried.

"Captain Xia Lina, we don't have many arrows, and half of our physical strength is exhausted. Mage Rosen's mana is probably not much. If we really want to do it again, we really can't beat it."

He was basically right, except for Rosen's mana.

But Rosen didn't correct it, because he felt that the necromancer was watching them from the darkness nearby.

Xia Lina also felt that something should be done, so she shouted: "We have to change our tactics."

She got up and spoke loudly about the new tactics.

"There should be a lot of firewood, kerosene and other garrison supplies in the sentry post, right? Take them out and arrange a fire line around the outer edge of the parapet."

"If there is another undead puppet attack, we can't stop it, we will all retreat into the mill."

"The outer wall of the ground floor of this mill is made of stone, and its defense is good. Let's climb to the top of the mill and attack from the top down. Rosen ignites the fire at the same time, so that the wall will be burned into a wall of fire, which can greatly delay the attack of the undead."

This tactic is feasible, but it is also a last resort.

The sentry soldiers were heavy in their hearts, silently carrying out Xia Lina's order.

The exorcist warriors who had been calm all this time felt a little uneasy.
