Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 122: Magical Scroll

"Gargoyle, immune to most witchcraft, and highly resistant to physical attacks, but..."

"Double the blunt weapon damage!"

This information emerged in Marvin's mind.

This is the only way to restrain ordinary gargoyles. In the entire River Beach City army, only the knights of the Silver Church carry the Holy Hammer as one of their standard weapons like Guderian!

The rest of the knights were equipped with lances on horseback, and most of them used two-handed swords when they dismounted.

Only the guardian knight of the Silver Church would carry a holy hammer in addition to the two-handed sword.

As a blunt weapon, the holy hammer can do considerable damage to the gargoyles. In addition, the strength of these guardian knights is not weak to begin with, and with the cooperation of each other, the first round of gargoyles' attacks were completely wiped out!

All the gargoyles were smashed crooked by the hammer and finally fell heavily to the ground.

Once their stone wings were broken, these agile monsters could no longer cause any more harm to the soldiers.

The members of the River Beach City Guard immediately rushed forward and chopped it to pieces with their swords.

And for the few guardian knights who fail, there will be wizards to help and use spells to simply restrain them.

These wizards all know some force field spells that can change the way gargoyles fly, which can be of great help to the knights.

The combination of wizards, shield defenders, and guardian knights armed with blunt weapons is simply the nemesis of gargoyles!

Marvin knew long ago that it was impossible for all the gargoyles to attack at once, and they would lose their flexible combat space.

In order to coordinate with each other, they will keep a distance from each other and form waves of continuous attacks.

It's their instinct.

If we follow Medili's style of play, I'm afraid the death toll will soar.

But under Marvin's command, completely different results emerged.

After the first round of air strikes, except for a few unlucky guys who were slightly injured, the rest of the people were all safe and sound.

And those dozens of gargoyles were all knocked to the ground and turned into powder and fragments.

Such results are truly remarkable.

What is more worth mentioning is that Marvin's tactics saved a lot of wizards' spell slots!

The wizard's spells are not in unlimited supply, and there are more monsters behind the Scarlet Monastery than just gargoyles.

"Can the Holy Hammer of the Silver Church restrain gargoyles?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, thinking that it was the divine power attached to it that was taking effect. Only a few people were wondering why Marvin ordered to use a hammer instead of a two-handed sword.

…

"Get ready! Round 2 is coming!"

Marvin shouted.

Now that Madeline has temporarily handed over the command to him, he must take care of every detail.

We cannot let our guard down in the following rounds just because we won big in the first round.

Details determine success or failure.

All the knights braced themselves and clenched their hammers!

The gargoyles were ignorant of life and death. They seemed not to have seen the tragic deaths of the first wave of their companions and continued to pounce.

This time, the number is obviously much larger than the first wave!

The knights of the Silver Church attacked one after another, and their holy hammers hit the target accurately, knocking down the gargoyles one after another.

On the other side, the vampires who had been dormant for a long time also began their mission under Marvin's orders.

All they need to do is to coordinate and contain.

Relying on its speed advantage and low-altitude flying ability, it can pin down any extra gargoyles.

This was very easy . They had already signed an agreement with Madeline, and now the commander was Marvin, so he would not let these strong men rest.

One by one, the vampires began to fly at low altitudes.

The cloaked man Gwen flew directly from the head of a gargoyle, grabbed his wings, and then performed an amazing move in the air!

He actually grabbed the gargoyle's wings with his own strength and threw it to the ground!

Crash!

There are fragments all over the ground again.

High brittleness and easy to break, this is the biggest weakness of ordinary gargoyles. However, someone like Gwen, who can smash a gargoyle to death, is definitely a leader among the blood race.

…

"What a high power!"

While directing everyone to take care of every detail, Marvin noticed Gervin's eye-catching performance.

This guy has always been very low-key, but now he is finally beginning to show his strength.

A third-level vampire count, he looks similar to Kanos, but his strength is obviously much higher than Kanos.

Marvin thought to himself, if he didn't have the part-time job of Mystique, he might not be a match for Gwen with his abilities as a Night Walker and Ranger alone!

Super high speed and strength, it’s just like when Marvin met Black Jack, the black butcher.

But the suppression is probably not that strong.

Of course, once transformed into shadow form or beast form, the situation will be different.

The strange profession of the Magical Warlock caused Marvin's combat power to fluctuate greatly. After fighting the Red Patriarch that night, the beast form is still unusable, and Marvin doesn't know when he can open it again.

…

What happened next was just as Marvin had expected. The extra gargoyles were led away by the vampires , and the guardian knights dealt with them easily.

The gargoyle pounced down desperately and smashed it with a hammer.

Every hit is accurate.

The paladins of the Silver Church turned into stonemasons and smashed the gargoyles that had been corroded by evil forces back into stone.

Fifteen minutes later.

The entire first hall was covered with dust and everyone was coughing continuously.

But everyone's eyes were filled with joy.

“Is it that simple?”

"Are these gargoyles fools? They're just going to throw themselves into a trap like this?"

A guardian knight rubbed his aching shoulders and said in surprise, "I killed four of them."

"Hey, I'm five." His companion beside him smirked and said, "You lost to me. Once again."

However, no matter what, the way everyone looked at Marvin changed.

In just a few dozen minutes, he was attacked by the gargoyles, then suppressed, and finally...

The gargoyle army is completely destroyed!

All this was because of the unprecedented tactic proposed by Marvin.

Even the most knowledgeable wizards did not discover the gargoyle's weakness. The smarter ones would use force field spells to restrain it and then let their followers kill it.

No one knew that blunt weapons were the natural enemies of gargoyles. And Marvin was familiar with a lot of such obscure but practical knowledge.

This is his greatest advantage.

…

"A very novel tactic." Madeline looked at Marvin with a cold face and said, "Is this another inspiration from your grandfather?"

"As expected of you, Lord City Lord. You have already learned to draw inferences from one example before I even said anything."

Marvin said with a smile.

"Hmph! You mysterious guy, let's go!" Madeline gave an order, ordering everyone to keep moving forward.

Who knew that at this moment, Marvin suddenly said:

"slow!"

Madeline frowned and asked, "What else do you want to do?"

Marvin coughed and said, "Sorry, Lord City Lord."

"But could you please step aside? The gargoyles aren't the only monsters in the second hall, and this battle isn't over yet."

"I am the supreme commander, so please make way. Thank you. Thank you very much for your cooperation."

…

Under Madeline's gloomy face, Marvin began to regroup and arrange everyone.

After killing hundreds of gargoyles in one breath, only a few people suffered minor skin injuries, which was already a miracle.

Everyone's morale is very high.

And there was a lot more admiration in the look he gave Marvin.

This is a world that respects the strong and the wise. The former is simple: fists decide everything; the latter is even simpler: wisdom is sometimes more effective than fists.

Ma Wen showed his strength by killing the Lich King alone; and his arrangement of tactics showed his wisdom.

After taking these two approaches, no one was dissatisfied with Marvin being the temporary commander.

Even if they did, they wouldn't be stupid enough to show it. These guys are smart.

Didn’t you see that Medili, who had her power taken away, was following Marvin like a bullied wife?

The city lord didn't say anything, so they shouldn't be so stupid as to come and get slapped in the face.

…

"The gargoyles won't attack us on their own initiative. The only one who can instigate them is the deep-sea banshee entrenched in the second hall."

"Everyone should know something about the deep-sea banshees. Everyone has seen their picture albums and some information. These monsters like to use their ultra-low-altitude flying ability and sharp claws to shuttle through the crowd and then take our lives."

"I have a targeted strategy. As long as everyone firmly implements our strategy, victory will be within reach."

As Marvin spoke, he took out a number of sturdy fishing nets from the bracelet on his right hand!

His storage equipment had long been insufficient, so he took the time to go to the Ranger Guild and purchase two more.

This bracelet is one of them, and its internal space is much larger than the Void Conch.

"Shield defenders, step forward. Every four people take a fishing net. The garrison knights also need to take the lead." Marvin ordered.

"I need you to form a formation like this..." He began to gesture.

"All shield guards should go in the front, with patrols interspersed among them. Be careful to protect your vital points."

"Once the deep sea sirens launch a surprise attack, the shield guardians don't need to defend. They can't tear through your armor. You just need to put up the fishing nets."

" These banshees will get hung up there and won't be able to get free."

"Next, it's time for the garrison to reap the harvest. Remember, be sure to chop off the banshee's head."

“That’s their only weakness.”

…

Thirty minutes later.

In the second hall, the air, which was originally filled with water elements, was now filled with a lot of bloody smells.

A large number of headless bodies of deep-sea banshees were piled together.

The atmosphere became a little frenzied!

The way everyone looked at Marvin was no longer admiration, it was worship!

Marvin's second tactic was equally effective.

They killed more than thirty deep-sea banshees without any effort!

Almost no battle damage.
