Chapter 76: Injure one thousand enemies and lose nine hundred of your own.
"This is?"
This horrifying scene also surprised the mentors who were watching the game:
"How can he summon meteorites?"
"Get closer and take a look."
Rob Cheng shook his head and said:
"This requires switching the perspective, which takes a while."
"Forget it then!"
"But he's only level three, how can he summon a meteorite?"
Someone looked at Nie Yang with doubtful eyes, and Nie Yang shook his head and said:
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't give him any scrolls or items for meteorite magic."
At this time, Robert Cheng also nodded and said:
"It's definitely not a scroll or a tool, and it's not a meteorite spell, but..."
He suddenly smiled and said:
"But then again, this isn't much different from the Meteor Technique."
Not to mention the shock of the mentors, the snake army within the range of the meteorite bombardment was extremely terrified at this time. The horrific threat brought by the meteorite made their scalps tingle and their hearts filled with fear.
The two war lizards that were eating let out anxious hisses, struggled hard to break free from the trainer's control, and tried madly to turn around and escape.
The twenty-meter-long giant body rushed around rampaging, trampling countless snakemen and gnolls to death.
There was chaos within the army. No one had time to pay attention to the enemy in front of them. The soldiers who had already captured the city fled backwards, but there were people everywhere and it was difficult to escape to anywhere.
At this moment, more than a dozen mages in the air were madly fleeing backwards, rapidly increasing their altitude.
If it was a meteorite spell that had just been cast, they might be able to interrupt it by joining forces, but for the meteorites that had already been summoned, even if the snake-man wizard came in person, he could only block one at most.
No, not to block, but to interfere and weaken.
Even an ordinary extraordinary wizard cannot shift the landing point of the meteorite, or continuously weaken the power of the meteorite, or completely block it.
Of course, it is no problem for Li Qing to throw stones from a height of three thousand meters as he is doing now.
Considering the lives of his men, Li Qing did not throw the ball down from too high a height.
But three thousand meters is already very high, and rocks with a diameter of ten meters falling from above have turned into fiery red meteorites and hit the ground when approaching the ground.
"boom!"
There was only a deafening roar, and the earth shook instantly. A strong shock wave that was unimaginable to ordinary people exploded on the battlefield.
Then there were three consecutive loud 'boom' noises, and three other meteorites fell in three other places.
Unimaginable power descended, and the snakemen and werewolves within a hundred meters of the meteorite impact point were crushed into meat paste on the spot. An unimaginable shock wave swept across the battlefield like a tornado, and countless limbs and broken bodies rushed in all directions with the shock wave, sweeping away everything.
Although the power was not as great as what Li Qing had thrown down from a height of five thousand meters, it was not much different.
After all, when the height reaches a certain level, the power will reach a certain limit, but the distance is not enough to completely turn the stone into a meteorite, and it cannot carry the power of fire.
Li Qing looked down from a high altitude and saw four meteorites exploding one by one on all sides of the city. The circular shock wave quickly swept across an area of several square kilometers.
The battlefield was as quiet now as it was noisy just now.
He slowly lowered the altitude. In the center of each of the four sides of the battlefield, there was a large pit several dozen meters in size. A huge rock was embedded in the pit. The ground was littered with body parts, but there was no blood as it had evaporated long ago.
Two giant lizards were huddled in the center of the city wall that had been knocked crooked by the shock wave. Half of their bodies were blown into rotten flesh, and they lay there dying.
The back tower on the giant cicada's back was long gone, and there were many broken siege weapons beside the city wall. A large number of limp corpses were piled up in the corners, forming a large layer.
The city, which was twisted by the shock wave, was filled with broken pieces of war equipment and limp corpses, including those of snake men and werewolves, but most of them were the corpses of human soldiers.
I have to say that the quality of the wall he built was very good. Such a horrific impact only caused it to change its position and shatter a layer of the surface, but most of it remained intact.
The giant eagle landed over the city. Li Qing looked at the tragic scene in front of him and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Although according to the sensing, there are still many people who are not dead but just unconscious, there are more dead, and the outside is full of corpses.
“I don’t know how many people will die in this wave!”
But Li Qing did not regret it.
If you don’t do this, you will definitely fail and you won’t even be able to run away.
Although this would result in heavy losses, the enemy would have no buffer of city walls and would suffer even greater casualties.
The two war lizards of the most critical enemy were both seriously injured, and most of the golem army on the other side was also destroyed. Only one steel golem and some stone golems were left, but they also collapsed to the ground due to the severe impact. The other clay golems were all smashed to pieces, leaving nothing behind.
Li Qing jumped from the giant eagle onto the city wall, drew his sword and shouted:
"My warriors, those who are still alive answer me!"
The city was extremely quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing.
But more than ten seconds later, there was a sudden movement in the pile of corpses. Two limp corpses were pushed aside, and a figure covered in blood crawled out and stood up shakily.
"My Lord, I'm still alive!"
The one who spoke was Long Fa. The dragon blood gave him powerful vitality, allowing him to survive this wave of impact.
After him, there was movement in the pile of corpses next to him. Li Qing immediately pushed the corpses away with his magician's hand, and a Modao soldier wearing tattered armor and holding a half-broken Modao stood up.
"good!"
Li Qing immediately took out a pure crystal of blood and flesh essence and asked him to take it. His blood energy recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There was one, then two, then three, and soon the survivors pushed the corpses away and climbed up.
Li Qing rewarded each of them with a crystal of blood and flesh essence, allowing them to quickly recover their strength and injuries.
Then he opened the space in his palm, and a vortex appeared above the pile of corpses. The powerful attraction sucked all the dead bodies into it.
The space in the palm of the hand can only accommodate the dead, but not the living. Using this method, it can be confirmed that those who cannot be collected are definitely still alive.
As the bodies were taken away one by one, a layer of soldiers lying in a mess was revealed below.
Most of them are in a coma, and only a few are still conscious.
Judging from their equipment or weapons, those who survived were basically the veterans who followed him first, that is, most of them were veterans who were promoted to the second, third, and fourth levels. Most of the zero-level recruits died.
After the final head count, there were less than two hundred people left alive.
Ten minutes ago, there were over a thousand troops here, but now there are less than two hundred left, and the losses were heavy.
but……
The enemy is even worse.
They were in the direct bombardment area of the meteorite, and had no city walls to withstand the impact. They faced the impact of the meteorite head-on. Up to now, few people were standing on the huge battlefield outside the city wall.
Li Qing took out some water, took out fifty pure blood and flesh essence crystals and melted them into it, forming a pot of broth containing rich vitality for his men to share and restore their strength.
There's no way. There aren't many of these things, so I can't give one to each person.
But it is enough. He is just an ordinary soldier and his vitality is not as good as that of a hero. Even one third of it is enough to restore all physical strength and injuries.
After finishing all this, Li Qing opened the city wall, rolled up a section of it, and asked his men to start cleaning up the battlefield.
In a farmland several kilometers away from the battlefield, a group of people were gathered in a trampled field, looking blankly into the distance.
The snakeman overlord Hashim had been teleported away from the battlefield by his subordinates before the meteorite hit, but his subordinates were not so lucky. Even the elite guards could not escape and were all buried under the meteorite.
At this time, except for a few snake guards, there was only a group of mages who could escape by flying, and the rest were all killed there.
Perhaps many people who are far away can escape, but what use is that at this moment?
At this time, he could only watch Li Qing gather his troops and clean up the battlefield.
From a perspective that they could not see, the mentors had different expressions, with shock and envy mixed in with their expressions.
Luo Bocheng looked at the application in front of him, chose to deny it, and said to Nie Yang privately:
"Now it looks like he has dodged this disaster, and these points can be saved."
Nie Yang nodded:
“Yes, it was saved.”
At this time, one of the instructors licked his lips and said to Nie Yang with envy:
"Congratulations, you are going to have a great man on your hands this time."
Nie Yang breathed a sigh of relief and laughed too.
Li Qing, surrounded by his men, came to the two twitching war lizards and said to Long Fa:
"give it to you!"
The experience gained from the two war beasts can definitely raise Long Fa's combat level to the fourth level. If he kills some wounded soldiers, it won't be a problem to accumulate to the fifth level.
do not doubt.
The war beast is at least level six, a lord-level template.
However, the Dragon Technique is only at the second level , so challenging a higher level will give you a bonus.
Longfa walked up to the war lizard, opened his mouth and fired a dragon breath ray, hitting one of the war lizard's eyes.
The terrifying high temperature caused the war lizard's eyes to explode, and also caused it to reflexively bounce back. Its tail swept the two soldiers who failed to dodge and flew more than 20 meters away. They were dead on the ground.
"Depend on!"
Li Qing was speechless.
A breath of dragon directly melted through one of the war lizard's eyes, but the war lizard's vitality was too strong and it was not dead yet.
Long Fa had to keep spitting out the dragon's breath, until the fifth breath ray was sprayed at the same position, which forcibly melted through the skull and merged into the brain before he was barely able to kill him.
After killing this giant lizard, the Dragon Technique was directly upgraded to a higher level with extra power, and the third level was 88%.
Then he did the same thing again and killed another giant lizard, and his experience jumped directly to level 4 and 46%.
Then he continued to kill the wounded soldiers dragged in from all over the place, and experience continued to accumulate.
During this period, many wounded soldiers wanted to surrender, but Li Qing did not accept them.
While he was cleaning up the battlefield, Long Shou on the other side was already on his way back.
Not long ago, he was still entangled with the Snake Man Mage, who deliberately lured him away from the battlefield to create an opportunity for the Snake Man Overlord to wipe out Li Qing.
However, the snake-man wizard Kendin never dreamed that not long after he left, four meteorites fell from the sky and directly killed all the subordinates of Lord Hashim.
This was a result he had never expected.
There was not even the thought of luring Long Shou away and teleporting him back.
He thought that with Lord Hashim's strength, he could easily crush this human army and did not even consider the possibility of failure.
Since the main force was defeated, there was no point in seducing Long Shou anymore, so he simply used a teleportation spell to escape, leaving Long Shou to return the same way.
There was no way, he was a dragon vein fighter, not a dragon vein mage, otherwise he would not be able to escape with a dimensional anchor.
On the way back, Long Shou found An Erqiu and others who were marching quickly, so he joined them and rushed back together.
Looking at the chaotic battlefield, An Erqiu and Xie Zhu looked solemn and a little scared.
It took ten hours to completely clean up the battlefield.
The two armies combined to form a force of more than 530 people, and they rested inside the rearranged city.
Li Qing was busy counting the spoils and upgrading his men.
This battle was so brutal, but the gains were also great. The surviving soldiers basically accumulated a lot of combat experience, enough for promotion.
But at this time, Li Qing did not have enough funds. 1.77 million was only enough to promote soldiers below the third level, a group of which were enough to be promoted to fourth-level heavy infantry and fourth-level sharpshooters, as well as twenty fourth-level armored cavalry, and a few were enough to be promoted to fifth-level elite armored cavalry.
In addition, there are many heavy infantry and sharpshooters who have accumulated enough experience and can be promoted immediately by unlocking the fifth-level troops.
It costs 200,000 for a third-level elite infantryman to be promoted to a fourth-level heavy infantryman.
It costs 1 million to upgrade a fourth-tier heavy infantryman to a fifth-tier elite Modao soldier.
It costs 2 million to upgrade a fourth-level armored cavalryman to a fifth-level elite armored cavalryman.
This batch of upgrades will require at least more than 10 million to nearly 20 million yuan in funds.
However, although it costs a lot, it is worth it, because high-level troops are powerful.
Most of the soldiers who died in the previous wave of meteorites were recruits, and there were basically no casualties among soldiers of level two and above.
Well, two fifth-level Modao soldiers died.
In order to cover their retreat, these two unlucky guys did not jump off the city wall immediately, so they were hit directly by the meteorite shock wave. After flying out, they were hit back and forth by shock waves from three other directions and died on the spot, which made Li Qing extremely sad.
Those who can be promoted will be promoted first, and those who have not been promoted can only wait for the time being. After returning, they will sell the spoils and have money.
This wave of war ended with only one trophy, but it encompassed the entire campaign.
While his subordinates were resting and eating, Li Qing also opened the treasure chest of spoils in the rest area.
Yes, a loot chest.
After all, it was a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people, so the spoils would certainly not be as shabby as before.
Taking out the crystal treasure box from the light ball, Li Qing clasped his hands together and whispered:
"Supreme One of the Ten Directions, the great being of the past, present, and future, please give me something good."
This loot chest was very valuable, and he didn't want a bunch of Kobold, Gnoll, and Lizardman cards to dilute its quality. He only wanted good stuff, premium stuff.
After finishing the prayer, Li Qing directly opened the crystal treasure chest and immediately saw several dazzling rays of light bursting out from it.
"It's settled!"
This color is extremely bright and rich, it is definitely a good thing.
When the treasure chest was fully opened, six cards emitting different lights were floating inside.
He picked up one of the cards that was emitting a very strong silver light and grinned.
Not surprisingly, this is an Essence Card, which contains a full 58 Essence points.
He opened the five fingers of both hands and pinched them a few times, making his knuckles crackle, then reached out and picked up another card that exuded an extremely rich purple color, and was stunned.
Snakeman Civilization Luck Card: You defeated the army of the Snakeman Overlord Hashiwei on the front battlefield and successfully plundered a piece of Snakeman civilization luck.
"this……"
"Didn't the instructor say that this thing is very rare and uncommon?"
Li Qing scratched his head. This thing made him feel a little confused.
