Tauren Overlord

Page 152

In the direction they were charging, about thirty or forty "poor lambs" had already formed three rows, and the first row of them had also begun to generate magic light balls.

Even the few old robbers who led the charge and killed countless people felt their scalps tingling at the horrifying scene.

They thought of this possibility with horror: Could all of these dozens of people in front of them be spellcasters?

Instead of being officials or adventurers, they travel in groups and form arrays like soldiers?

The spellcaster...is so worthless?

Even the big-nosed president, who had always been extremely confident in his sense of smell, finally realized that something was wrong!

In fact, there is nothing wrong with his "sense of smell".

How are humans not weak when they have no fangs or claws and only a thin layer of skin covering their soft little flesh?

But everything is different as humans have ever-developing production and combat tools.

With the benefit of the Stone of Skill, Mofa can now launch an air strike on the Angry Brother like a skilled crossbowman pulling the trigger.

At the same time, a dozen dazzling balls of light on the ground also hit them in the face.

This is the new artillery formed by Lu Heng. It does not need to be towed by horses or loaded with ammunition. As long as it has sufficient spiritual energy, a single artilleryman can enter siege mode at any time.

Compared to "Ghost Squad" members like Elsa, the artillery platoon led by Mofa is the troop that Lu Heng really wants.

On the one hand, external forces may be willing to provide assistance for their own interests, but such opportunities are rare.

The more important reason is that although an old ghost like the Skeleton Swordsman Gadlan is very powerful, no one knows how many decades or hundreds of years he has practiced his swordsmanship.

This kind of force, which relies on a very small number of veteran soldiers, is destined to be difficult to mass-produce.

But a mass-produced unit can gradually grow into battle-hardened veterans through long-term actual combat.

As long as Lu Heng's subsequent magic industry can keep up, similar artillery platoons will be able to spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

Under the ruthless bombardment of more than a dozen light balls, the irritable old man was either killed or injured. One of the predator tanks was directly hit by a light ball, and the entire vehicle was blown apart.

The violent old man in the car suffered a particularly tragic death. He was blown into four or five pieces that were difficult to piece together.

Only two Marauder tanks survived the first wave of bombing.

One of them was the chariot where a veteran raider was stationed. He was also a spellcaster and had extremely quick reactions. He activated his shield ability the moment he was bombed.

As one of the strongest spellcasters in the General Association, his magic shield has helped him survive countless battles.

Coupled with his excellent combat experience, he has always been regarded as the successor to the big-nosed president.

The Marauder veteran immediately made the correct judgment - any attempt to escape would be futile when the enemy had high-speed long-range air units.

As for surrender - the old plunderer will never surrender!

Then the only option left is to rush!

100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters... The entire tank was like a stubborn rhinoceros, getting closer and closer to Mofa's artillery platoon.

The leader of the artillery platoon was originally the steward of Mofa's estate, but he was not a complete fake, but a mature and stable middle-aged man.

"hiss……"

Under the command of the platoon leader, the magic that the next squad will perform is not siege artillery.

I saw that the light prism staffs all emitted beams of light in unison, converging on the squad leader's light prism staff, and then shot a blue beam of light at the old plunderer.

The beams of light that formed were so sharp that the first shot penetrated the old plunderer's shield and exploded him into a shattered corpse.

While the plunderer was being bombarded by the prism rays, the big-nosed president survived temporarily because he rushed slower.

Since the situation was so wrong, he naturally didn't dare to rush forward again. Instead, he turned around and ran away while the "warriors" were delivering him.

The big-nosed president no longer had the energy to think about why what should have been a scenario of a wolf meeting a sheep turned into a one-sided massacre.

He also didn't have the energy to think about why someone could be rich enough to form such a well-organized army with spellcasters.

At this moment, he just wanted to run away, as far away from the battlefield as possible.

In terms of this judgment, he is actually a little better than his successor.

If the failure rate of charging is 0%, then there is a one in ten thousand chance that the probability of survival of escaping is greater than zero.

At the same time, the Big Nosed President was lucky enough to see that although the opponent could open the portal, they only teleported all the troops to the same place and did not attack him from both sides.

If the enemy intercepted his escape route at this time, he would be completely dead.

Just as the big-nosed president was indulging in this luck, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes, as if he had entered an endless void.

The author says:

Author's words: I recommend Patizan's "Mount and Blade: Song Dynasty".

As a Mount and Blade system novel, the author has done a lot of research on the historical background and has a very serious attitude towards writing.

Summary:

I'm just a social animal taking part in a historical reenactment event. How did I end up traveling through time?

The year came again in 1127. The Northern Song Dynasty collapsed, and the Southern Song Dynasty had not yet been established. The Han land was filled with the iron hooves of the Jin army. How could the Han people survive in the cracks?

Fortunately, I have the Mount and Blade system, so I packed my bags, took a group of people to the mountains to start a business, and established a dynasty full of martial virtues!

"Surrender or die!"

221. The Founding of New Tymenia City

Lu Heng's teleportation skill does have a weakness, which is that it takes time to open the door and it will emit a dazzling light.

If you encounter someone with extremely quick reactions, you may be able to detect and avoid them in time.

So when Lu Heng welcomed the big-nosed brother into the house this time, he added a disguise of "going back in time".

This was originally the ability of Gaspard, the "Re-enactor of the Past", who could use images from the past to blind people's vision in a small area, and it was just right to use it here.

As the big-nosed general ascended within the gate, Lu Heng also gained a new "smell" ability.

This ability does not really make people more sensitive to smells, but rather allows one to use intuition to detect which aggressive enemies are within a radius of approximately 1000 meters.

As a powerful early warning capability, it is very useful whether Lu Heng uses it himself or uses Chloe's psychic simulation stone to make a weakened version and distribute it to scouts.

However, this ability is not omnipotent. Lu Heng has discovered in the previous battle that this ability cannot detect things that lack malicious intent but pose a real threat.

A typical example is weapons and equipment. These killing tools themselves are not aggressive, but they can cause great damage.

The big-nosed president has always believed that he can smell the "breath of the weak", but this is probably a misunderstanding, because strength and malice are two different things.

Perhaps it is because this big-nosed guy has always lived in an environment where whoever is more ferocious is equivalent to whoever is more threatening, which led him to have this misunderstanding.

But from now on, he no longer has to continue to misunderstand, and he no longer has to continue to fight.

Whether he was happy or unhappy, in short, he made significant improvements to the upgrade of Lu Heng's skill tree.

This guy's rank has also reached level three, but his exclusive skill is reconnaissance, which makes him more suitable for supporting roles, so his performance is not that impressive.

After devouring him, Lu Heng's upgrade progress was promoted from "Level 3.5" to "Level 3.75", and the gap with Governor Edric became smaller.

As for how to make up the final gap, Lu Heng does not necessarily have to rely on devouring other souls.

Theoretically, as long as he is given enough psychic crystals or psychic batteries at one time, he can also mature himself.

The real difficulty is that he needs to build a city with a large number of women to obtain 625 or more copies of feminine power to prevent himself from splitting.

Lu Heng has discovered that his psychic power level can only be increased, not decreased, which means that it is actually difficult for him to be a lone wolf who only cares about himself.

If one day he lost his last base, he might not be able to run around with the portal open, because it would break.

Since there is no way back, we can only go down this path until the end.

But overall, Lu Heng's progress was relatively smooth.

The bandit gangs entrenched in Weibei City have been completely wiped out. Lu Heng plans to rename this abandoned city as New Taimenia City and have his identity as William become the city lord.

In this way, the Taimenian people who were placed on the Maoergan Peninsula by the Empire could be settled here and become the main labor force of this city.

This can also ease the conflict between the Luna people and the Taimenia people, instead of always keeping those outsiders on the Luna people's land.

In this way, whether it is the restorer of Lunayuan or the glimmer of hope that the people of Taimenia see in despair, all the credit goes to Lu Heng.

What a great harvest.

The next step is to reward people based on their merits.

Compared with those fierce ghosts, Mofa did not kill all the remaining surrendered brothers, but tied them up and took them back.

In fact, this is more in line with Lu Heng's interests.

Although there were only 18 captured war criminals, there were always some dirty and tiring work that needed them to do.

So Lu Heng also gave Mofa a small credit and rewarded them with more magic props.

Of course, Lu Heng also gave them a hidden reward. Since your actual combat performance is good, there is no need to forcibly separate them.

Lu Heng was a little embarrassed about those ghosts.

Judging from the battle results alone, the "Ghost Squad" that killed the grumpy old man was obviously the number one hero.

But they killed war criminals who could have been used as labor, and took the valuable psychic cores for themselves. This is not behavior that is worth encouraging, right?

If it weren't for the background of their Sea Alliance, Lu Heng would have wanted to ask them for a heart-to-heart talk in his capacity as Earl William.

But it is not appropriate to punish these heroes, so the resources that have been occupied by the undead, such as psychic cores and frost giants, are regarded as rewards.

As for whether the seven ghosts will feel that the distribution is unfair, that is their business.

Fortunately, they didn't kill everything, and there were still some surviving mammoths and frost giants, but most of them had not grown up and needed to be raised for some time.

After all, these large beasts would be difficult to tame if they were not trained from childhood, but after they were raised, they could provide great animal power.

Now they have been almost fully taken care of by the grumpy old man. If they are raised for another year or two, it will save the new immigrants a lot of effort.

Perhaps, next year this place will be a thriving scene.

Of course, we are still a long way from achieving complete peace in the North.

What caused the fall of Weibei City, or New Taimenia City, was not this group of grumpy old men consisting of only a few hundred people, but a much more powerful group of tree people.

They attacked and captured the city for unknown reasons, but they did not like the hustle and bustle of the city.

Perhaps they felt that this place was too urbanized. The tree people simply couldn't get used to living here, and they didn't establish any rule in Weibei City. They ran away soon after.

This gave the grumpy old guys from the General Association for Progressive Education an opportunity to take advantage.

There are at least tens of thousands of tree people, and their individual combat capabilities are generally much stronger than those of ordinary humans.

If Lu Heng doesn't prepare the defense as soon as possible, who knows when... those tree people will come here again to carry out reverse urbanization.

……

The next morning, Elsa, the priestess of the dead, woke up in the early morning.

This sudden physiological change made her ask herself:

Why did I fall asleep last night?

And why do I feel so energetic even though it’s daytime?

As a normal half-dead person, she should be drowsy during the day, not as active as she is now. She really doesn't look like a ghost at all.

She quickly used telepathy to contact her unnamed creation and the other skeleton soldiers.

The mental connection between those undead servants and her was indeed not broken, which meant that she was still a necromancer.

But her stomach soon had an embarrassing physiological reaction - it was hungry again!

So she became some kind of "living" necromancer?

Why does it feel like... I have been turned into something new overnight?
