Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 150 Stinking Cloud Technique
Although there was a small accident that made the Sun Knight a little embarrassed in front of Levi and others, probably because they were busy chasing those unlucky God-chosen heroes, when the demon army really came to them, everyone had retreated to the other side in time.
However, when they really saw the enemy clearly, they couldn't help but look serious.
That expanse of red was not a wave at all; it was an army composed of countless enemies with red skin!
Little monsters, inferior demons, Babu demons, ape demons, slaughter demons, Gog, Magog, hell dogs, three-headed hell dogs...
These are the kinds of demons that Levi has dealt with before. In addition, there are some upright demons over three meters tall, with human bodies and horse faces, two long spiral horns on their heads, and long tails that almost drag on the ground behind them. Among them are some advanced soldiers holding long whips.
They are long-horned evil spirits often referred to as horned demons. They are said to be the real main force of the demon army because of their sufficient numbers, and those holding long whips are horned demon warlords.
The Horned Demon is fine, although it is a Tier 3 soldier, but according to the information released so far, it is one of the weaker Tier 3 soldiers. In addition to the basic fire resistance that most demons have, it also has the ability to charge with horns, and then it does not have any other skills.
If it were ordinary level 1 and 2 troops, this could still be barely acceptable, but for level 3 troops, they were simply like a blank slate.
But the Horned Demon Marshal is not so easy to deal with. Level 3 seems to be a watershed, and the strength of level 4 troops is obviously stronger.
And now everyone can see that, with them as the center, a fiery red halo with a diameter of ten meters is expanding outward. When it covers other demons, their minions often have sparks on them. They obviously have range gain capabilities, which can make the attacks of ordinary demons carry fire damage!
In the air, there were more than a hundred flying demons about half a meter tall.
Although they are small in stature, they appear to have very strong muscles, and have a pair of relatively broad leather wings and a long, hooked, pointed tail.
They are the first-level soldiers, the Quasai demons. Although they are of low rank, they are relatively difficult to deal with among the same rank. They are fast, can fly, have strong attack power and are poisonous. Their only shortcoming is probably that their lives are relatively fragile.
But such a large number makes up for their weakness to a certain extent. It is no wonder that Janet looked a little embarrassed just now, because even if she put all the bee people together, it is impossible for her to defeat the opponent.
As for the gnolls and infernal gnolls that they had expected to encounter, as well as the undead that Levi had guessed, they didn't see any of them.
But despite this, everyone was a little frightened, because the number of enemies had exceeded a thousand. They had fought against the same number of gnolls with their backs against the village before, but now there was an endless plain behind them, and there were only a few God-chosen heroes around them!
Although he had planned to let his subordinates temporarily cover the retreat, when he actually saw the enemy army, even the Sun Knight was a little frightened: "This number is too terrifying. And those are Horned Demons and Horned Demon Warlords, right?"
"Yeah, it's fine if they fight in groups in the wild, but now there are so many of them, and they have their minions with them. Tier 4 troops are not something we can easily defeat now."
Although they had just said they wanted to fight a decisive battle, seeing the enemy was so powerful, some people couldn't help feeling guilty.
But the Lightforger said nothing, he just turned and looked at Levi. He felt that Levi would definitely make the most correct choice. After several collaborations, he had full confidence.
Levi quickly scanned the screen and was about to say something, but the system prompt rang first.
"A large number of demons are approaching us. They are evil and crazy creatures that only want to kill and burn everything. Should we snipe them here to buy time for the civilians who may be behind us, or should we return to the village directly and rely on the terrain to defend?"
Levi looked at the others. Some of them were frowning, while others were excited. They had obviously received the system prompts.
The Lightforger said immediately: "There is no follow-up, not even any options. It seems to be just a simple reminder. Obviously, there is a great degree of freedom, but the rewards will be completely different depending on the choices we make. However, the danger of staying here is also great."
The Sun Knight also said: "There is no message indicating that the mission has failed. Does this mean that the target we are trying to save is still alive?"
"No, it seems to be a separate emergency mission, and it seems to have little to do with the mission of saving the old wizard."
As for the other God-chosen heroes, on the one hand, they are relatively weak and do not have much say, but on the other hand, since they have all chosen to join War Heaven, they naturally listen to what leaders like Levi have to say first.
Levi nodded: "We must fight first, at least to kill those Kwasser demons."
"That's right. Otherwise, we won't be able to escape even if we want to."
"But we can't bury all our strength here. If the opponent's attack is too fierce, we will have to move forward."
"certainly."
Several people talked to each other and soon set the tone. They must have a big fight, at least to kill all the faster enemies!
Soon the demon army approached, and after seeing them, they became visibly excited. Even the little monster that seemed very timid before, and the Quasser demon that was just over half a meter tall, began to roar, as if they had extra courage.
Especially the Quasers, probably relying on their ability to fly and their agility, they were the first to break away from the main force and attack Levi's side.
But soon three arrows shot out and pierced the heads of three Quasai demons respectively . Then dozens of ice-blue arrows followed, and then seventy or eighty arrows and bullets, instantly wiping out all the Quasai demons in an area.
Although not all ranged units could shoot that far or that high, at least all those who could do it chose to follow Donna's guidance at this moment.
As the bodies of the Quasers fell heavily to the dust, the demon army was stunned at first, and then they all seemed to be enraged. More than one Horned Demon General roared and swung his whip. With a series of crisp sounds, the demon army officially launched an attack on them, and a battle with a huge difference in numbers began.
However, since there was a river in the middle that had not completely dried up, this bought Levi's side some time. After a brief hesitation, the demons, out of their disgust for flowing water, chose to try to cross the bridge, except for a small number of demons who chose to cross the river.
So they, crowded together densely, immediately became the best targets.
First came a large number of long-range attacks, including muskets, crossbows, catapults, and so on, followed by several kinds of magic. Such saturation attacks directly killed more than a dozen Gogs and Magogs, creating a small gap.
These two types of demons that can throw fireballs have good attack power, but they have no advantages in defense, life, or even range. In addition, everyone knows the threat they pose, so they naturally become thorns in their eyes and bones in their flesh.
But soon, within half a second, this tiny space was filled by the demons behind. Even though their proportion in this demon army was very low, there were still at least fifty or sixty of them, and they would not be killed all at once.
Levi did not cast any offensive magic. Almost all demons have resistance to fire, but his offensive magic was all fire-related, which was really tiring and not very useful.
Even the spider web spell and the grease spell were difficult to take effect. The former would be destroyed by the flames, and the effective range of the latter was too small. It would not have much effect on such a large number of demon armies.
This once again reminded Levi that perhaps he was very good among the many heroes chosen by God, but among the indigenous people, he was still not worth mentioning, and he was far from qualified to be proud!
Thinking of this, he suddenly pointed his staff forward, a flash of light appeared, and then a gray-yellow cloud of about sixty to seventy square meters, which looked not very clean, appeared out of thin air in the place where Gog and Magog were most densely populated.
They were originally preparing to throw fireballs, but they couldn't help but inhale a few times. Then there were sudden sounds of retching. What's worse, the fireballs that were already in their hands exploded on the spot.
This not only caused some damage to itself, but also seemed to have triggered a chain reaction. The gray-yellow cloud first shrank, and then suddenly expanded outward in a small circle.
Then more Gog and Magog were enveloped, and more fireballs got out of control.
There was only a series of explosions like firecrackers, and the gray-yellow clouds were constantly changing. Sometimes a broken blank appeared in some places, and sometimes it continued to expand outwards, even affecting other kinds of demons.
But in general, it expanded more, so with the help of many fireballs, the area of this magic was expanded several times almost in the blink of an eye.
Then more retching sounds were heard, and many demons even knelt on the ground involuntarily because of the strong feeling of nausea and vomiting. They stretched out their claws and scratched their chests and abdomens vigorously, and some even stretched their claws directly into their throats.
However, although demons need to breathe and have stomachs, they do not need to eat flesh and blood to maintain their existence. They devour the flesh and blood of their prey just for fun. What they really desire and need are magic power, negative emotions such as pain and sorrow, and even the most precious soul, so they cannot vomit out anything.
What's more, this is a unique magical effect, not vomiting caused by eating something bad.
So even though they scratch constantly and even hurt themselves, their sharp claws often bring out pieces of flesh and blood, but their discomfort is not reduced in the slightest.
Even if those in the marginal areas or the smartest and most clever guys quickly escaped from the range of the fog, they were not immediately saved, as the smell of the stinking cloud could last for a certain period of time.
Several hellhounds nearby were a little confused at first, but after taking two tentative sniffs, they immediately followed in the footsteps of Gog and Magog and began to dry heave frantically. Because their sense of smell was even more acute, the effect was particularly obvious. Many hellhounds even vomited so much that their entire bodies began to twitch.
Only the horned demons and horned demon warlords, perhaps because of their strong physique or some special experiences, were accustomed to the stench, so although they also showed expressions of disgust, they were hardly affected by this magic.
But despite this, this scene also stunned many of the God-chosen heroes. They had never expected that just a piece of fog could make these demons wish they could die!
However, although they were shocked, it did not affect their actions. They should take advantage of the opportunity to kill the beast!
Levi never expected that the effect of this magic would be so great. These Gog and Magog really helped a lot.
Sure enough, in such a large-scale battle, ordinary low-level mages should not always think about using offensive magic. As both are level 3 magic, Stinking Cloud is more effective than Ma Youfu's Meteor in this case!
However, he did not release it again immediately, but threw a spider web at the Quasers in the air. Although Donna and others were shooting with all their strength, there were many of them after all, and it was not so easy to kill them all, so he needed to help a little.
He had never used the spider web technique in this way before, because the spider web technique required more than one stable support point to bring strong toughness and even restrain the enemy's movements.
But at this moment, he really wanted to know what effect it would have on flying enemies?
It turns out that it does work.
As the light of magic flashed, spider webs fell from thin air. The sticky spider webs directly bound the wings of many Quasers, causing them to temporarily lose the ability to fly and fall straight down.
Some even collided with their companions in order to avoid this magic, causing one air disaster after another.
Donna and the others immediately took advantage of the situation to launch another round of shooting. At the same time, under the leadership of Janet, the bees also launched a charge at the outermost edge. Then people with long-range abilities nearby also took action, further reducing the number of the enemy.
There was also a warlock-type God-chosen hero who chanted something and summoned a gargoyle into the air.
There are two types of gargoyles. One is a moving statue that looks like a demon or a bat and is a member of the mechanical department. The other is a living creature that gets its name because it has skin as hard as stone.
But no matter what, their common characteristics are that they can fly and are very resistant to attacks.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Less than two seconds later, the spider web without a fixed support point flashed, and then disappeared quickly like snow in the sun. Compared with the more than ten seconds it lasted on the ground, its effect was greatly weakened.
But despite this, Levi still did not lose heart and continued to throw a spider web spell. As long as he could delay the enemy a little and buy enough time for Donna and the others, it would not be considered a waste or a failure!
After repeating this several times, these annoying Quasers were finally almost killed, and Levi and Donna both breathed a sigh of relief.
The enemy lost their air units and their ranged units. Without their harassment, our shooters can exert their combat effectiveness to the maximum extent.
Seeing that the fastest hellhounds had already started fighting with Yu Yong led by Zhou Miyin, Cindy and others, Levi began to use the Stinking Cloud Technique again.
This time he deliberately placed his position in the enemy's central area. Although the demons that could cast fireballs were almost all killed, with the presence of the Horned Demon Warlords, these demons could still use fire attacks. If under their influence, this magic affected his side, it would be his sin.
Even the demons who lived in extremely bad conditions and didn't need to eat were disgusted like this. He really didn't want to try the smell of the Stink Cloud spell himself. After all, except for special types of magic such as summoning or enhancement, most magic did not distinguish between friend and foe at all...
