Judging from the similar gray-yellow skin, most of the goblin troops that attacked this time were from the same tribe.
These goblins who have formed a brigade are paired with a non-commissioned officer with a professional level for every group of 20. At the same time, in the front row of the brigade is a goblin leader who holds a part-time job as a sixth- or seventh-level warrior. Behind it were driven more than twenty wargs, including many ferocious wolves.
If the entire Watcher Guild encountered this kind of combat power, it would be a life-and-death battle.
Basically, all player teams that have ventured outside the city have been attacked by goblin raiding teams. The weapons in the hands of most warriors saw blood for the first time on goblins.
The goblins themselves have a huge population, and they have a very high fertility rate. Therefore, even if the goblins are wiped out in waves, they still quickly recover in number and continue to attack business travelers along the way.
However, at this time, after seeing Zhao Xu releasing two "Fireball Techniques" at the same time, the leader of the goblin brigade had already picked up the whistle and blew the whistle, urging the troops behind him to evade.
However, the goblins' huge forward inertia made it impossible to dodge in front of the rapidly approaching fireball. At first glance, one thought that the goblins were determined to die.
The two fireballs had already decided where to land at the moment Zhao Xu cast the spell.
Fireball, a long-distance spell, in Zhao Xu's hands, can directly hit enemies two hundred meters away, and the range is comparable to that of an individual rocket launcher.
As the two fireballs landed and touched the dust on the ground, it was like a grenade exploding. The originally calm air was instantly swept up by a huge wave of fire, which sprayed out with a huge roar.
Countless goblins who were still in a daze were directly covered by the wave of fire, and their whole bodies seemed to be trapped in a sea of fire and unable to struggle.
For a time, the entire battlefield was filled with the painful wails of the goblins, which was very sad.
The basic damage of the fireball spell is 1-6 points of damage (1D6), and Zhao Xu's caster level has reached level 7. All goblins in the sea of fire directly suffered a full 7 layers of damage superposition, and the damage range ranged from 7 points to 42 points. Points vary (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 and scorching damage caused by the "Fireball Technique".
Until the magical flames caused by the fireball slowly dissipated, the goblin troops that had rushed over with great energy had turned into goblin corpses lying all over the ground, and their entire bodies had been burnt black.
It's a pity that the "Fireball Technique" is only a momentary burst of flames, otherwise what everyone will see is a piece of charred goblin corpses, and even the ordinary five-ring "Resurrection of the Dead" cannot save it.
But in the eyes of the Watchmen Guild, this is not the case.
This was the first time that they witnessed the real damage that a fireball spell that completely covered most of the enemies could cause in the open plains.
Anyone who sees more than a hundred goblin corps that only needs him and others to fight to the death will feel a little uncomfortable when 95% of them are wiped out by two fireballs.
"It's the brutal fireball technique."
"It's a cruel mage. Even if there are still goblins who are still alive, they don't dare to move at this time. They fall to the ground and pretend to be dead."
"Why is that goblin leader also dead? Is the upper limit of fireball damage so high?" The observant rogue Tie Zhi asked after noticing this.
He had heard of the reputation of the third-level spell "Fireball", and he also knew that this spell could avoid half of the damage through a reflex save.
Even after completing the level 2 training of their rogue profession, they gained the ability of "reflex dodge", which can directly dodge all damage from this spell.
According to his guess, even if the goblin leader failed to dodge successfully, he would not fall to his knees directly.
The goblin leader at the front of the goblin team was wearing a plundered half-armor and holding a big sword in his hand. His combat power was not inferior to that of a level 5 human warrior, but he was still turned into a corpse at this moment. He fell to the ground and let the wind and rain beat him.
And it had worked hard for half a life to develop this powerful goblin tribe, and it was reduced to ashes with Zhao Xu's two fireballs. Even if the leader was alive, he himself would be worse off than dead, and it was difficult to accept this scene.
Chen Nuo also explained to his companions at this time, "The goblin leader was covered by two fireballs at the same time."
The range of action of the fireball technique itself is a circle with a radius of six meters, and the football field goal is just over seven meters wide. Once two circles are close together, there will naturally be room for overlap.
It is easy to cover the goblins with fireball, but it is not so easy to cover the designated person with an overlapping area. The larger the overlapping area, the smaller the coverage on both sides of the flanks.
Coupled with the fact that the goblins are rushing forward, being able to cover it so exquisitely also shows that the wind mage has a lot of combat experience.
At this time, several senior officials, including Shuang Jian, were all thinking.
When the three trolls saw this scene, their instinctive fear of flames made them hesitate a little.
But this 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, lead your team of four to kill the goblins who survived the fireball technique." President Shuangjian shouted at this time.
He immediately removed the players who were disadvantaged and weak against the trolls and arranged for them to check whether all the goblins lying on the ground were really dead, so as to avoid being caught by the goblin javelins from behind during the battle with the trolls.
At this time, the warriors who were originally following the formation also rushed forward bravely, holding up the tower shields in their hands to face the trolls' attack.
After two months of training, players have realized that in Arthur, everyone's time is equally fair.
No matter how good the troll is, it can only pick one or two players to attack every round.
In the absence of spell attacks, even if players really stood in line to be killed by the troll, they would still have to wait for more than ten rounds.
When the leader of the troll hunter saw this scene, it immediately understood the player's plan with at least 10 points of intelligence, but didn't care at all. It just raised the battle ax in its hand and slashed at the nearest player.
But at this time, when fired at close range, half of the flaming arrows in the hands of the rangers in the union were missed, and even if they were accurate, they were blocked by the troll's powerful defense.
The three attacking trolls all wore "chain armor shirts", which provided a full 5 levels of armor defense, and the trolls also had 5 levels of natural defense.
When the two are superimposed, the defense power exceeding level 20 directly exerts great pressure on the players present.
And relying on the caster's limited spell damage, even the damage just caused is directly compensated and restored by the troll's regeneration ability of 5HP per round.
In the first round of fighting with the trolls, the union leaders, including Frost Sword, realized this, but for a while they were at a loss.
Frost Sword can only call for the "barbarian" players to take the lead and act as the main force of output.
As long as the barbarian starts with a high strength and high body, combined with the "violent" ability, it itself guarantees a certain output limit.
However, Zhao Xu did not add flame blessing to the weapons of the barbarian players, so even if they successfully penetrated the defense, they could only cause non-fatal damage to the trolls.
Players can wear armor, and the same monsters can wear armor.
Therefore, sometimes players cannot use the same method, such as "Control" spells, on monsters due to various immunities. Instead, monsters with spell-casting abilities can be used on players, and each one can be used accurately.
At this time, Zhao Xu was also observing the battle, and he was also measuring the strength of the "Watchmen" union itself.
Those trolls can successfully knock down players every time they attack. Seemingly limited by weapon damage and the fact that the opponent is not attacking with full strength, the priest wandering nearby can still calmly go up and use the "Cure Minor Injuries" spell to restore the fallen player. .
Raise their lifeline from below 0HP back to above 0HP.
This is the advantage of a large 40-person guild team. Before the priests' healing spell slots are used up and the battery life is not interrupted, as long as the trolls do not hit critically, the players will not suffer too many casualties.
And if Zhao Xu and the others were a team of four, it would only take two rounds for the entire team to lie down on the spot, waiting for resurrection.
Shuangjian, who was observing the battle in the corner and ready to take over at any time, already knew that the situation was over.
The limited two priests in the team had to risk walking to the downed player every round. When using the "healing spell" that required contact, he knew that dragging him down would be detrimental to them.
Even the player who was restored to life by the priest could only barely escape from the dying state. If he dared to step forward when he was not in full state, he would definitely die on the spot next time.
Arthur's spell casters are not many in number. They have a 40-person union team with three priests, which is luxury enough in itself. Therefore, resuscitating the downed players is already the limit. Restoring to full status is just a matter of strength. Out of reach.
Naturally, the number of barbarians and warriors in the "Watcher" union who can delay the progress of the trolls in close combat has visibly decreased.
In this 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. They relied on their own excellent performance during the attack. The performance evaluation was around "Level 20" and they successfully caused damage.
But now, facing these trolls with regeneration that can restore health, this blood grinding strategy loses its effectiveness for the first time.
"Mage Guangfeng, do you have any second-level spells ready to be used?" Shuangjian, who was also repelled at this time, approached Zhao Xu and asked, although he was surprised that Mage Guangfeng wasn't nervous at all.
And he also knew in his heart that Zhao Xu had used two three-ring "fireball spells", and it was definitely no longer possible to prepare for the fireball spell, and it was not even clear whether there were still three-ring spell slots.
He could only hope that the mage had some kind of magical second-level spell that could help.
At this time, Zhao Xu probably had an idea of the strength and confidence of the Watchmen Association, and he said directly: "Okay."
Just when Shuang Jian thought that the Guangfeng Mage was going to cast some spell to weaken the three trolls first, he saw him pick up the staff originally attached to his waist. It was a slender magic staff made entirely of finger bones. The staff has a weird-looking miniature skull on the top.
Zhao Xu held up the "legendary necromantic staff" in his hand, pointed at the troll hunter in front, activated the seven-ring spell contained in the staff, and said softly: "The finger of death."
