Everyone raced against the heavy rain to search for monster corpses, searching for surviving companions and trophies.
Zhang Mu will reward the mercenaries with corresponding points based on their contribution to the battle. Of course, for encouragement, he will also give some additional rewards as appropriate. The harvested items are sent to the mercenary warehouse, allowing the mercenaries to exchange them freely according to their needs.
There were many skill upgrade scrolls among the loot. Zhang Mu selected one [Skill Upgrade Scroll LV4] and one [Skill Upgrade Scroll LV3], and smashed the God's Blessing to LV5, and the other one to hit the Soul Seal to LV4.
[God's Blessing LV5], A-level skill, maximum LV9, consumes 35% of magic value, invincible within 3 seconds, CD time of skills below S level is lifted, all attributes increase by 60% within 300 seconds. Cooldown time: 49 minutes.
God's blessing becomes more and more powerful as the level increases. The 3-second invincibility effect is enough for an expert to do too many things!
[Steel Tyrannosaurus Fury Talisman] (ordinary silver), a level 15 magic consumable, which contains the fury of the Steel Tyrannosaurus. After being activated, it can cause a fury impact with a radius of 25 meters, causing 900 fire attribute damage, and it requires 50 magic points. The cooling time is 30 minutes, and the remaining number of activations is 5/5.
Although it is a weakened version of [Burst of Fury], it can still be called a top-notch piece of equipment.
Most of the armored tyrannosaurus's other trophies are good. There are several pieces of level 20 silver equipment, but they are not of enough level and no one can use them, so they can only throw them away in the warehouse first. In this loot harvest, there are a large number of magic scrolls and special items, most of which are very useful. Those that can be used in battle, Zhang Mu assigns important tasks to the core group and the elite group, and the rest is stored in the warehouse.
"We still have 30 minutes of rest time left!"
"Hurry up and recover!"
The potions in the camp have long been used up. Although there is some reserve of magic potion Huangquan, it is only a small amount. It is specially prepared for battle. The best way at present is to restore life and magic through food.
Although in this atmosphere, few people have an appetite. In order to fight and survive, they can only bite the bullet and eat.
Du Rongrong ran to Zhang Mu with an animal leg: "I bought it at the tavern yesterday. I didn't even want to eat it. Here it is!"
"No, I have prepared special food!"
Du Rongrong was not polite, she hugged the roasted animal leg and ate it.
Zhang Mu took out a piece of pterosaur meat that the chef helped cook and wolfed it down. The food prepared by the chef himself was a rare delicacy in the world, but Zhang Mu didn't even taste it.
"Many mercenary brothers are injured. Unfortunately, I am a summoner and cannot fight side by side with everyone."
Today's battle was very touching for the little girl. For the first time, she saw the importance of teamwork. Others fought bloody battles on the front line, and many people lost their lives. But she was watching from a safe place, so she felt uncomfortable.
"Different professions have different functions. You can't expect the priest to go into battle to kill the enemy. The summoner is an indispensable profession, and the summoner will be useful later." Zhang Mu seemed to have a new idea.
After eating a piece of meat, I feel full of strength and my legs and feet become light, because pterosaur meat can increase agility, which will be of great help in the next battle!
Black Claw ran to Zhang Mu and howled a few times.
Zhang Mu took out the dragon crystal and swallowed it in one gulp. He shivered a few times and was very satisfied.
Zhang Mu patted Black Claw's huge head and said, "This battle is full of monsters in the air. You have to be careful!"
Black Claw growled twice.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Everyone had no time to collect the corpses, and there was no time to carefully search for the loot. They abandoned the damaged city wall under Zhang Mu's order. Let the thieves whose number of traps has not reached the upper limit leave a large number of traps near the gap to block the third wave of monsters. The remaining soldiers retreated to the second line of defense, and then formed more than a dozen battle groups based on a dozen armored vehicles.
"Everyone, stay alert and show your fighting spirit!"
Zhang Mu sat on the back of the huge black claw, shuttled back and forth in front of everyone, and shouted loudly: "The first battle was very beautiful, everyone performed well, we only need to hold on for two more waves, and we can have it A large number of resources, equipment, scrolls, skill books... In order to survive, we must fight to the end!"
"Fight! Fight!"
Cook stood on the Yiliang armored vehicle and helped his fellow biochemical tribe members to hit the long bullet chain on the heavy machine gun. "We defeated one wave so easily. We have enough ammunition now, so the second wave shouldn't be too difficult."
The village chief was very satisfied with Zhang Mu's performance: "Only 500 members of the biochemical tribe participated in the battle just now, 21 were sacrificed and 43 were seriously injured. The situation is better than expected. Human beings are weak against air. Starting from this battle, I will personally Participate and hopefully limit your losses.”
Cook said: "Loss is inevitable. Even if the biochemical and mechanical tribes fully participate in the war, there is no way to reduce casualties. Aerial monsters are much harder to defeat than ground monsters. It is estimated that the damage caused by humans is 2-3 times that of the first wave. !”
The village chief nodded: "It depends on Zhang Mu's command. The fewer humans die, the more rewards we will get. Your strength is not weak. If the results of the monster wave are good, the power given by the master will be enough to improve you." One level, with power not inferior to that of the lord monster!"
The armored vehicles are ready, and each vehicle has a large compartment space, which can hold about 50 people.
The compartment of the armored vehicle was originally prepared for shooters or mages, because the armored vehicle has a special shooting window. Zhang Mu did not arrange mages and shooters inside, but put priests and priests into the armored vehicle as much as possible.
The remaining mercenary soldiers formed a battle group with the armored vehicle as the center. Armored vehicles are very strong and difficult to break through with ordinary attacks. Priests and priests hide inside. They can be well protected and can always be in the middle of the battlefield, better assisting other combat professionals. The armored vehicle not only has extraordinary output capabilities, but is also a mobile health-replenishing vehicle.
The armored vehicle is equipped with one or two heavy machine guns, which have very fierce firepower to make up for the lack of anti-aircraft power. In addition, about 30% of the archer mages did not participate in the first wave of battles, just to recharge their batteries and have enough strength to deal with the second wave of aerial monsters!
The heavy rain has not stopped, and the drainage system of the camp is not perfect. Now that it has experienced a war, most of the drainage holes are blocked. In some places, the water can even reach the waist. However, it does not affect the combat deployment, but can be better hidden. As we advanced into the distance, suddenly a large dark cloud came over.
"Attention everyone!" Zhang Mu shouted through the loudspeaker: "The second wave of monsters has appeared! Don't act rashly, please ask my command to spread out."
The large dark clouds coming from a distance are thousands of flying monsters. The number seems to be smaller than the first wave. They are all flying monsters.
Giant forest bat!
Horned Eagle!
Pterosaur!
…
There are so many types of these flying monsters that most of them are hard to name.
"Summon troops to the designated location and summon monsters!"
The summoner had long since recovered and calmly summoned monsters one by one. There were about five or six hundred of them. Du Rongrong's Mushroom King was very conspicuous. Under Zhang Mu's instructions, she ordered the Mushroom King with all her strength to erupt a large number of summoning spores.
Countless summoning spores fell on some soil that was not submerged in water, and soon hundreds of enhanced mushroom monsters were summoned, with an increasing number and evenly distributed around. The summoning of the Mushroom King reached a limit and could not be Keep calling.
Du Rongrong's magic was about to be exhausted, so she quickly drank the magic potion, took out a prepared magic storage crystal to restore her magic, and then ordered the Mushroom King to retreat and hide, without the idea of letting the Mushroom King join the battle.
When Cook saw Zhang Mu's arrangement, he was very puzzled: "What does he want to do?"
The village chief carefully inspected the deployment and nodded, "He surrounded the surroundings with summoned beasts, allowing them to act as a distraction to attract the monsters' firepower, thus distracting the monster group from attacking humans and reducing human casualties. The monsters' IQ is not High, and the monster tide is composed of different types of monsters. They don’t know how to cooperate with each other, and there is no tacit understanding. Maybe this trick can work!"
The second wave of combat is different from the first wave.
Most of the monsters were blocked in the first wave, but this time there was no way to stop them. They had to withstand the monster's full power from the beginning. Just thinking about defense was not enough. The best way was to reduce the monster's attention to humans.
Summoning a large number of beasts to attract is indeed a good strategy.
Du Rongrong led the summoning troops to withdraw far away, protected by a group of specialized soldiers, and the Mushroom King followed. When the monsters on the battlefield were almost killed, Du Rongrong would lead the Mushroom King and the summoners back, continue to summon, and disperse Firepower.
This wave of monsters was very fast and arrived at the camp in about 10 minutes. All kinds of sharp and unpleasant chirps came from far to near, and large dark clouds covered half of the sky.
Among them, a large group of forest giant bats took the lead and broke away from the monster group and rushed towards the camp. The forest giant bats are a kind of super giant bats. They look no different from ordinary bats, but they are about 1 meter tall and two feet tall. Wing width reaches more than 2 meters.
"squeak!"
The forest giant bats screamed collectively, and the strong sonic attack made people dizzy and nauseated. Before the fight even started, the combat effectiveness of many people was greatly reduced. The bat launched another substantial sonic attack, like countless energy bombs blasting towards the ground.
The large group of summoned beasts and mushroom monsters suddenly boiled, roaring into the sky, and unleashed various magic attacks.
As expected, the forest giant bats fell into the trap, and quite a few giant bats did not target humans, but instead attacked the summoned beasts!
Lei Ming raised his sword and shouted: "Shield array!"
The shield warrior and the knight raised their shields and formed an impregnable formation next to the armored vehicle. The sonic attacks hit the shield formation and almost all were bounced away. At this time, clusters of sharp arrows protruded from the gaps in the shield array, and there was only a sound of bow strings. Countless arrows were sprayed into the sky. Many forest giant bats were hit by arrows and fell down whiningly.
The human attack attracted a group of monsters to attack, but most of the monsters were still chasing the summoned beasts running around on the ground. As for the monsters that arrived later, because they were not attacked by humans, they were the first to encounter a large group of summoned beasts, so Also regard summoned beasts as priority attack targets.
The Mushroom King desperately erupted to summon spores from behind. A batch of mushroom monsters died on the front line, and another batch was immediately added. The mushroom monsters were very weak, and the victory was due to their large numbers. They did not need to deliberately participate in the attack, they only needed to run around on the battlefield.
"These monsters are so stupid!"
"Hit me hard!"
"Kill them all!"
The pressure caused by the second wave of monsters doesn't seem to be much stronger than the first wave!
Everyone's popularity is booming!
