The Truth of Magic

Chapter 300 Finger of Death

Judging from the similar grayish-yellow skin, most of the goblin troops that attacked this time came from the same tribe.

These goblins who have already formed a brigade, each group of 20 is paired with a non-commissioned officer with a professional level, and at the same time in the front row of the brigade, there is a goblin leader who is part-time a sixth-level and seventh-level fighter. There are more than twenty wolves driving behind it, many of them are dire wolves.

This kind of combat power, the entire watchman union usually encounters, will be a battle to the death.

All player teams that have ventured outside the city have basically been attacked by goblin raiders. The weapons in the hands of most soldiers were the first to see blood on goblins.

The goblins themselves had a huge population, and Arthur was small and short, and they had a very high fertility rate. Therefore, even if the goblin group was wiped out wave after wave, they still quickly recovered and continued to attack the business travelers along the way.

However, at this time, after seeing Zhao Xu release two "fireballs" at the same time, the leader of the goblin brigade had already grabbed his whistle and blew the whistle, driving the large troops behind him to evade.

However, the goblins had a huge forward momentum, and they couldn't dodge in front of the fast-moving fireball. At first glance, they thought it was the goblins who were determined to die.

The moment Zhao Xu cast the spell, the two fireballs had already decided where they would land.

As a long-distance spell, fireball, in Zhao Xu's hands, could directly hit the enemy two hundred meters away, and its range was already comparable to that of an individual bazooka.

As the two fireballs landed on the ground and touched the dust on the ground, it was as if a grenade exploded. The originally calm air instantly swept into a monstrous wave of fire, which sprayed out with a huge roar.

Countless goblins who were still in a daze were directly covered by the fire wave, covering their whole bodies, as if they were trapped in a sea of ​​fire and could not struggle.

For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with the painful wailing of the goblins, which was very shrill.

The basic damage of the fireball technique is 1-6 points of damage (1D6), and Zhao Xu's caster level has reached level 7. All the goblins in the sea of ​​fire will directly suffer a full 7 layers of damage superposition, and the damage ranges from 7 points to 42 points Not equal (7D6).

Based on the life base of an ordinary goblin with 5 HP, he would be burned to death on the spot by the high-temperature scorching damage brought by the "fireball technique".

Until the magical flames caused by the fireball technique slowly dissipated, the goblin troops that had rushed over aggressively had turned into goblin corpses lying all over the ground, and their bodies were scorched black.

It's a pity that the "fireball technique" is just a burst of flames for a moment, otherwise what everyone would see would be a piece of charred goblin corpses, and even the ordinary five-ring "resurrection of the dead" couldn't save it.

But in the eyes of the watchmen union, this is not the case.

This is the first time they have witnessed a fireball technique that completely covers most of the enemies on the open plains, which can cause real damage.

Anyone who saw more than a hundred goblin corps who needed to fight to the death with two fireballs wiped out 95% of them would feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's the brutal fireball technique."

"It's a brutal mage. Even if there are still goblins alive, they dare not move at this moment, and fall to the ground and pretend to be dead."

"Why is the goblin leader dead? Is the upper limit of fireball damage so high?" the observant rogue Pirates asked after noticing this.

He had heard the reputation of the third-ring spell "Fireball", and he also knew that this spell could pass a reflection save and avoid half of the damage.

Even their rogue professions have obtained the ability of "Reflex Dodge" after completing level 2 training, which can directly dodge all the damage of this spell.

According to his guess, even if the goblin leader didn't dodge successfully, he wouldn't just kneel down like that.

The goblin leader at the head of the goblin team was wearing a looted bust and holding a big sword in his hand. His combat power was not inferior to that of a human level 5 fighter, but he was still a corpse at this moment He fell to the ground and let the wind and rain beat him.

And it took half a lifetime to develop this powerful goblin tribe, and it was turned into ashes with Zhao Xu's two fireballs. Even if the leader was alive, his life would be worse than death, and it was hard to accept this scene.

Chen Nuo also explained to the surrounding companions at this time, "The goblin leader was covered by two fireballs at the same time."

The scope of action of the fireball technique itself is a circle with a radius of six meters, and the goal of the football field is only more than seven meters wide. Once the two circles are close, there will naturally be room for overlap.

It is easy to cover goblins with fireball, but it is not so easy to cover the designated candidates with overlapping areas. The larger the overlapping area, the smaller the coverage area on both sides of the flanks.

Cooperating with the goblins themselves in the process of rushing forward, being able to cover them so delicately also shows that the gale mage has a lot of combat experience.

At this time, several high-level officials, including Shuang Jian, were thinking about it.

When the three trolls saw this scene, their instinctive fear of flames made them hesitate a bit.

It's just that this kind of hesitation was immediately replaced by his own desire, and he continued to charge towards the waiting union players with the weapons in his hands.

"Cage, you lead the four of you to strangle the goblins who survived the fireball technique." The president, Frost Sword, shouted at this time.

He immediately took away the weak players who were unfavorable to the trolls, and arranged for them to check whether all the goblins that had fallen on the ground were really dead, so as not to be caught by the goblin javelins from behind in the battle with the trolls.

At this time, the warriors who were following the formation also bravely rushed forward, holding up the tower shield in their hands, to meet the attack of the trolls.

After two months of training, the players have realized that, Arthur, everyone's time is equally fair.

No matter how capable the troll is, it will only pick one or two players to attack each round.

Under the condition of lacking magic attacks, even if players really stand in line for the troll to kill, they still have to wait for more than a dozen rounds.

The leading troll hunter saw this scene. With at least 10 points of intelligence, it immediately understood the player's plan, but it didn't care at all. It just raised the battle ax in its hand and slashed at the nearest player.

It's just that when shooting at close range at this time, half of the flaming arrows in the hands of the rangers in the union were shot empty, and even if they were shot on target, they were blocked by the powerful defense of the troll.

The three incoming trolls were all wearing "chain armor shirts", which provided a full level 5 armor defense, and the trolls also had a level 5 natural defense.

Under the superposition of the two phases, the defensive power exceeding the 20th rank directly caused great suppression to the players present.

And relying on the caster's limited spell damage, even just causing damage, it is directly compensated by the troll's regeneration ability of 5 HP per round.

In the first round of confrontation with the troll, the top union leaders including Frost Sword realized this, but for a while they were a little helpless.

Frost Sword could only call on the "barbarian" players to take the lead and take the lead as the main output.

As long as the barbarians start with high strength and high body, combined with the "Rage" ability, they can guarantee a certain output limit.

It's just that Zhao Xu didn't add flames to the barbarian players' weapons, so even if they successfully penetrated the defense, they could only cause non-lethal damage to the troll.

Players can wear armor, and the same monsters can wear armor.

So sometimes the same means, such as "confusion control" spells, players will not be able to use monsters because of various immunities, but monsters with spellcasting ability can be used by players, one by one.

At this time, Zhao Xu was also observing the battle, and he was also measuring the strength of the "Watcher" union itself.

Those trolls can successfully knock down the player every time they make a shot. It seems that they are limited by the weapon damage and the opponent is not fully attacking, so the priest walking around can still calmly go up and use the "heal minor injuries" spell to recover the fallen player .

Pull their lifeline from below 0HP back to above 0HP.

This is the advantage of a large team of 40 labor unions. Before the healing spell slots of the priests are exhausted and the battery life is not faulty, as long as the trolls do not attack critically, the players will not suffer too many casualties.

And if Zhao Xu and the others were a four-member team, it would only take two rounds, and the whole team would have to lie flat and wait for the resurrection.

Frost Sword, who was just observing the battle in the corner and was ready to come on the bench at any time, already understood that the general situation was over.

The limited two priests in the team have to venture to the side of the downed player every round, and when he uses the "healing spell" that needs to be touched, he knows that dragging down is bound to be bad for them.

Even the players who were revived by the priest barely got out of the near-death state. If they dared to step forward when the state was not full, the next time they would definitely die on the spot.

Arthur's casters are not many in number. They have a union team of 40 people and three priests, which is enough luxury in itself, so reviving the knocked down players is already the limit. beyond reach.

Naturally, the number of barbarians and fighters in the "Watcher" trade union who can delay the progress of trolls in close combat has decreased visibly with the naked eye.

Under such a difficult situation, monks and rangers also began to step forward to contain them.

Originally, players were able to defeat the strong with the weak, and knock down monsters with high challenge levels, because they performed well during their own attacks, and the performance evaluation was near "Tier 20", successfully causing kills.

But now, in the face of these trolls who have the regeneration ability to restore life, this blood grinding strategy has lost its effectiveness for the first time.

"Master Kuangfeng, do you still have any second-ring spells that you can use?" Frost Sword, who was also repulsed at this time, approached Zhao Xu and asked, although he was surprised that Master Kuangfeng wasn't nervous at all.

And he also knew from the bottom of his heart that Zhao Xu had used two third-ring "fireballs", so it was definitely no longer possible to continue preparing for fireballs, and he didn't even say whether there were any third-ring spells.

He can only hope that the mage has some kind of magical second-ring spells that can help.

At this time, Zhao Xu probably had a good opinion of the strength of the Overwatch Association, so he said directly, "Okay."

Just when Frost Sword thought that the gale mage was going to cast some spell to weaken the three trolls first, he saw that he picked up the staff that was originally pinned to his waist, which was a long and slender magic staff made entirely of finger bones. There is also a miniature skull on the top that looks very weird.

Zhao Xu held up the "Legendary Necromancer Staff" in his hand, pointed at the troll hunter in front of him, activated the seven-ring spell contained in the staff, and said softly, "A finger of death."
