Game of the World Tree - Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Battle

Where did such violent elves come from? !

Could it be… are they here to rescue their companions?

How did they know the whereabouts of the mercenary group?

How many people are there? Is the black dragon here?

In a few seconds, several thoughts flashed through Crocodile’s mind, and cold sweat broke out on his back…

The elves that appeared were naturally the players.

To be more precise, they were the fastest Crypt Spider Cavalry.

There were about 200 Crypt Spider Cavalry.

They were separated into a team by Li Mu and handed over to Tomato Fried Tomato, who was more adept at small team operations.

In the team, there were about 40 elf archers, 60 elf mages, 20 elf druids, and more than 90 elf hunters and warriors.

Archers, mages, and druids all have long-range attack methods.

Hunters and warriors were also assigned a dwarf steam gun modified by the Mengmeng Committee…

The steam gun’s attack is notoriously difficult to attach skills, and the archer player’s skills are all for bows and arrows, so their weapons are still bows and arrows, and those who use steam guns are warriors and hunters who can’t fight at a distance.

It can be said that after the warriors and hunters were equipped with steam guns, these more than 200 players had a certain long-range killing ability.

Under Li Mu’s command, Tomato Fried Tomato and the Crypt Spider Cavalry caught up with the mercenary group first, and launched an attack and harassment against them…

They rode on the ferocious big spiders and rushed towards the camp of the crocodile mercenary group, like a group of bandit mad dogs coming down the mountain to plunder.

In the process of charging, the players holding longbows raised their longbows again, the players waving magic staffs chanted spells, and the players carrying swords raised the thick and heavy dwarf steam guns again…

Accompanied by a series of loud bangs, several more mercenaries fell to the ground, and then dozens of arrows flew in, followed by offensive magic, fireballs, wind blades, ice cones… in an instant.

Screams came one after another, and more than a dozen mercenaries were drowned in the rain of arrows and magic.

From the time the players launched a sudden attack, in just less than a minute, nearly fifty mercenaries around the camp died!

The sudden attack confused the mercenaries, and the edge of the camp fell into chaos.

Seeing the panicked mercenaries and the excellent results, the players’ morale instantly increased:

“Haha! What a good little monster!”

“Ten thousand experience points! I shot a mercenary to death, and I got ten thousand experience points in a flash!”

“Fuck! Too rich!”

The remote players were excited, and their eyes changed when they looked at the mercenaries.

The burning eyes even made the outermost mercenaries shiver.

However, the melee players who used the steam gun were a little frustrated:

“What a pity… I’m a warrior, this steam gun has no skills attached, and I can’t get experience even if I kill someone…”

The effect of the war sacrifice is attached to skills and close attacks.

Sword slashing, magic attacks, and even arrows fired by archer players with the assistance of skills can bring experience points.

But if you rely entirely on tools, you can’t trigger this effect.

For example, the lunchbox team that used explosives to kill the crypt spiders before, and the warrior and hunter players who are now using steam guns, although they killed the target, did not gain experience.

“Don’t panic! You will have a chance to fight in close combat later, listen to the command first and keep charging!”

Tomato Fried Tomato comforted the melee players while leading the crypt spider riders to rush towards the mercenaries again…

The first wave of players’ assault caused heavy damage to the crocodile mercenary group.

Fifty mercenaries were killed, which is one twentieth of the number…

However, the loud roar also made the crocodile react from his loss of consciousness.

After seeing more than 200 elf spider riders rushing out, and no other elves supporting them later, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just more than 200 elves riding strange spiders are not taken seriously by the crocodile!

He snorted coldly and shouted:

“Hold on! Don’t panic! There aren’t many people on the other side!”

“They are the elven archers and elven mages! They also got the dwarven steam guns!”

“Get your shields and spears! Form a shield wall defense formation! Mages, quickly cast magic effects on the shield wall! Protect the camp! Don’t let those spiders rush in!”

Under the order of the leader, the mercenaries quickly regained their composure.

They followed the crocodile’s command and quickly raised their shields to form a shield wall, and stabbed their spears through the gaps to prevent the crypt spiders from approaching.

A small number of human mages quickly chanted spells to cast magic shields on the shield wall.

The charging players launched another attack.

The warrior and hunter players pulled the trigger of the steam gun, and the roaring sound came again…

but this time, the mercenaries were already prepared.

The steel bullets fired by the steam gun arrived in an instant, and the shield wall raised by the mercenaries trembled slightly, and the magic shield on it flickered and rippled…

This time, the players’ attacks did not even penetrate the magic shield, and only metal balls fell on the ground…

In the world of Segos, the magic shield is the most effective defense against kinetic weapons without skills attached.

Therefore, after the mercenaries had magic shields, the steam guns in the hands of the players lost their deterrent power.

Looking at the ineffective attacks, the players couldn’t help cursing:

“Damn! Even if this gun is modified, the attack power is too weak!”

“No wonder the dwarf’s steam guns are eliminated, they are useless when encountering magic…”

“Do you want to charge?”

“Don’t charge in close combat! Switch to shooters! We still have mages and druids!”

Tomato Fried Tomato roared and issued a new order.

After hearing the words of the team commander, the archer player riding the crypt spider raised his bow and arrow, and shot the magic arrow with the help of the skill.

At the same time, the mage and druid players also chanted the spell again.

The arrows with the skill flew again, but only penetrated the magic shield under the effect of the skill, shot into the shield, but could not go deeper…

But the magic that came later caused some damage to the mercenaries.

However, with the resistance of the magic shield and the shield, there were only a few lightly injured mercenaries.

For the players in the middle of the black iron, the attack power of the long-range skills is still limited…

Therefore, the surprise attack effect was lost. After the mercenaries began to counter in a targeted manner, the players’ attacks were instantly frustrated.

Seeing the players’ offensive frustrated, Crocodile’s eyes lit up:

“The shield wall is well defended! Keep the magic! Their attack power is limited, and there are not many of them! Surround them! Catch them!”

With an order, the mercenaries who had recovered their morale hurriedly raised the shield wall and outflanked the players.

Seeing that the mercenaries wanted to surround the players, Tomato Fried Tomato shouted in Elvish:

“Cancel the charge! Disperse! Guerrilla left and right! Focus on harassment! Delay time!”

After he issued the order, the players instantly changed their route.

They no longer charged at the mercenaries, but avoided the shield wall and moved to both sides of the camp. At the same time, they shot cold arrows at the camp from time to time, fired cold guns, or threw fireballs into the camp.

Not seeking to kill, but only to disrupt everything.

After the players changed their tactics, although they did not cause much damage to the mercenaries, they once again restrained the actions of the mercenaries.

More than 200 crypt spider knights, like a group of guerrilla prairie archers, circled around the mercenaries’ camp, moving and shooting.

The fireballs that were occasionally thrown into the camp and ignited the goods made the mercenaries even more agitated.

Looking at the trucks that were ignited by the fireballs, Crocodile’s eyes turned red:

“Asshole!”

Those goods were all treasures that he had bought from the Kingdom of Aris with great effort! They needed to be resold to the Empire!

“Put out the fire quickly! Keep the formation, the guards follow me! Capture those elves!”

He ordered angrily.

At Crocodile’s order, the mercenaries in the camp began to put out the fire in a hurry. The mercenaries on the outside still maintained their formation, and dozens of mercenaries with the strength of the upper black iron level followed him out and directly launched a counterattack against the elves…

But… Crocodile underestimated the movement speed of the crypt spiders.

After signing the contract with the players, the speed of these large cave spiders became slightly faster, and the mage and druid players also added the continuous magic of [Light Body] to everyone, so the mercenaries could not catch up at all.

Only the crocodile, whose strength reached the middle silver level, could keep up with the speed of the players.

However, every time he rushed out, the players would focus their fire on him and avoid him from a distance. Although they could not cause any harm to him, they limited his pursuit.

“Why are these elves so cunning?!”

The crocodile’s face was very ugly.

However, although the mercenaries could not catch up with the elves, the elves could not rush into the mercenary camp either. Even the killing of the mercenaries almost lost its effect under the defense of the mercenaries.

The situation… unexpectedly became a stalemate.

But even so, the elves did not give up the attack, and continued to circle around the camp, wandering around and harassing, and seemed to be in no hurry to rescue their companions…

After noticing this fact, the crocodile’s face finally changed.

He suddenly realized a problem:

“These elves… are not here to save people, but to delay time!”

“They… may have reinforcements! They are probably waiting for the black dragon!”

In an instant, the crocodile’s face turned pale.

He gritted his teeth and shouted:

“Don’t get entangled with them! Maintain the formation, let’s go!”

However, just after he gave the order, a faint shout came from the direction of the trade route in the south…

The crocodile was startled and subconsciously looked over.

Accompanied by the flying dust, densely packed fully armed elves formed a tight formation and appeared in the sight of the mercenaries.

Looking around, there were so many elves, no less than a thousand!

“So many elves?!”

Looking at the exaggerated number, the crocodile was stunned.

However, this is not over yet…

Just when the members of the mercenary group were shocked by the sudden appearance of the elf army in their sight, and there was a faint commotion…

a loud dragon roar came from the horizon.

The thing that crocodile feared the most happened.

A ferocious black dragon, flapping its huge wings, appeared in the sight of the mercenaries…

“RUA! Evil humans! You have captured Myriel’s followers! You must pay a heavy price for this!”

Its loud and excited voice resounded in the air.

For a moment, the crocodile’s mood fell to the bottom…

Thank you for the 500-point reward from Tiptoe Hehe! Thank you for the 400-point reward from GottKaiser!
