Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 168: Destroy the Golem and Turn the Fossils into Mud
As more and more golems began to approach, the ground shook more and more violently. Levi asked Janet, Sam and others to continue scouting the surrounding area and try to avoid being noticed by the granite golems. Otherwise, if they threw stones and hit them critically, there would probably be casualties.
Although he now somewhat looked down on ordinary bees, they had made many contributions before, and even just for Janet's sake, there was no need to deliberately send them to die.
Then Donna also commanded the long-range troops to shoot, and in an instant the shells of many golems made a clanging sound.
However, despite Levi's advance magic, the damage of their rain of arrows was still very low, and many people were completely unable to break through the defense. However, no one was discouraged at all, because this first wave of attack was simply to make the effect of destroying the golem take effect!
At this time, the summoned creatures led by the Wolf Patrol and the Mastiff-Headed Yakong, as well as the many beasts in the team, began to split into two groups and bypass the stone statues from the outside.
They certainly didn't intend to launch a sneak attack on the other side. The stone statues didn't have fatal weaknesses like ordinary humans, and it would be difficult to cause more damage if attacked from behind. They were actually just trying to attract the other side's attention and try to split the enemy forces.
As expected, the stone statues, which had almost no brains, fell into the trap immediately. Nearly ten of them were attracted to each side, and the granite golems among them picked up huge rocks from the ground and threw them directly at them.
Suddenly, there were several loud noises like thunder in the air. Judging from the sound alone, they were far superior to the previous Reaper crossbow.
Moreover, its power was extremely strong. Caught off guard, a Sub-Sky was killed instantly. Although a Rat Master avoided the attack that was like a cannonball, he never expected that the thrown boulder would actually roll on the ground. With two "squeaks", he instantly turned into a pool of blurred flesh and blood.
How can this be called a stone throwing? It's clearly almost becoming a catapult!
Levi snorted and cast the summoning magic again. Although there were some losses, at least the purpose of dividing the enemy was achieved. After throwing stones, the two granite golems were led away one after another.
Donna also quickly organized a second wave of attack. This time, the archers' attacks had obviously changed. Although it was still not high, it could indeed cause certain damage. The magic to destroy the golem took effect.
At the same time, the golems took slow and heavy steps, gradually approaching their own melee troops.
Due to their body structure, their movement frequency is not very high, but because of their height and long legs, their actual movement speed is not too slow, which is very similar to Bayoru.
However, when they finally got close at the cost of losing many of their companions, they fell into the quicksand trap one after another.
In order to deal with them, Levi set up dozens of quicksand traps.
Except for the granite golem which was almost completely unaffected, the other sandstone golems were temporarily trapped. Now they became fixed targets and were subjected to more intensive shooting.
At the same time, Levi directly tore open the second magic scroll he bought: "Fossils to Mud!"
A yellowish-brown light flashed by, and the damage suffered by the sandstone golems that were the targets increased significantly.
Just as the name of this magic suggests, it can transform hard rocks into relatively fragile mud and sand. Although these golems in front of us were created by mages and therefore have a certain degree of magic resistance, they are still inevitably affected to a certain extent, and their defense is further reduced.
However, the place where this magic can really be put to good use is in the Underdark.
There are many caves there, and there are many sharp stone pillars above the caves. Once you use this magic on the roots of the stone pillars, a pile of mud and sand will often fall from the sky with thick stone pillars several meters long.
If used well, or if the enemy is stupid enough, it is possible to be killed instantly. This is the experience shared by some drow mages.
However, this magic is of almost no use to the Granite Golem, because Levi just took the time to use it to detect, and then he found that this big guy, whether because he killed a lot of God's Chosen Heroes or because he is so strong in itself, is actually a Tier 4 elite unit with far greater magic resistance than its Tier 3 companions. Only close combat troops can resist it, so he did not waste the scroll.
But according to the old wizard, there is also a tier 3 magic called dispel magic. Once cast successfully, it can directly break the many effects on the golem. When combined with turning rocks into mud, even the defense of a tier 4 granite golem will be weakened to the level of a lowest-level mud golem.
It's a pity that the old wizard not only doesn't know this trick himself, but also because a large amount of his magic power was drained by the jackals, with his current strength, he can't even use the 2nd level magic, let alone create any scrolls.
In fact, because I just cleared out all his goods, I'm afraid that he won't have any magic scrolls higher than level 1 for a long time...
As he was thinking this, the granite golem suddenly roared, and then made an obvious stomping motion.
There was a loud bang, and with the place where it landed as the center, a burst of dust and gravel flew everywhere. Not only did the melee troops in the front row shake violently and suffer some damage, but the nearby quicksand trap was also destroyed, and two or three sandstone golems were able to escape.
But Levi didn't take it seriously at all. He directly set two more quicksand traps. I want to see who can destroy it faster or I can release it faster!
Of course, the Granite Golem cannot compete with Levi. In fact, the cooldown time of this ability of its is as long as one minute, which is almost the same as the interval between crossbow attacks.
But it still had a huge fist, so soon it rushed forward with heavy steps.
In an instant, Levi felt that the Yu Yong people in the front row were like being hit by a car, no, more like being hit by a bus. They flew several meters away, vomiting blood in the air while flying, and their health points dropped a lot.
And because the granite golem's fist is big enough and its arms are long enough, often when it attacks, several of its subordinates will be knocked away at the same time. No matter if they are ordinary spearmen, halberdmen, or Zhou Miyin himself, they are completely indistinguishable from each other under such a heavy attack.
Even the two earth elements that Levi temporarily summoned were knocked away by it's punch.
At the beginning, Levi's magic of summoning elements developed very smoothly, but as the enemy's strength grew rapidly, the magic also grew a little, but its power could no longer keep up with the pace.
However, Levi was not particularly surprised, not entirely because the opponent's power had crushed them, but more because the granite golem's attack had some special knockback or knockback effect.
Just like the trolls they encountered before, when there is too much gap between the two sides in strength, size, weight and even class, it is easy for the enemy to break through their formation.
But fortunately, he did not only set up one layer of defense, and at the critical moment, Bayoru, who was in a full-body enhancement state, roared and went up personally.
Now the situation is obviously much better.
Although there is still a big gap in strength between the two sides, Bayoru himself must weigh at least 500 pounds, plus the armor that Levi specially customized for him in the blacksmith shop, as well as the weapon and shield in his hand, add some weight to him. This is quite different from Zhou Miyin and others whose total body weight is less than 200 pounds.
Normally these differences would be weaknesses, making him look particularly clumsy, but at this critical moment, they became advantages, enough for him to hold on and not retreat too far under the heavy blows of the granite golem.
Although his body and the hands holding the shield could not help but tremble violently in the face of the enemy's fierce attacks, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on fighting with the opponent.
Simon also rushed forward with his shield raised. Although he had to admit that there was a certain gap between his strength and Bayoru's, his pride as a warrior prevented him from retreating in this situation. He also wanted to join the battle!
Cindy quickly began to use the healing magic she had just learned. Crane Gunner and Julia also started shooting. Zhou Miyin and others also raised their weapons and rejoined the battlefield.
Although the granite golems were indeed very powerful, Levi had already cast protective magic on them, so they would not completely lose their combat effectiveness because of a single heavy attack from the enemy.
Then they entered the rhythm that Levi and the others were very familiar with again. Under the siege of the crowd, even a granite golem as strong as a 4th-level elite was quickly turned into a pile of rubble.
It is worth mentioning that this guy wanted to trick them before he died. A lot of rubble hit the people around him, but fortunately this time the distance was close enough, and Levi had detected his move in advance, so his conspiracy did not succeed .
He signaled his subordinates to pick up the two glowing magic objects dropped by the enemy, but Levi didn't even look at them. He just continued to cast magic, because there were still two waves of such enemies in front of him.
But unconsciously, some new ideas emerged in his mind.
Golems are special constructs that are undoubtedly the product of mages. I had only heard about them before, but now I have truly witnessed their power. If I can also learn the expertise or skills to create golems, then whether I use them for myself or sell them to others, I will benefit greatly...
Although he thought so in his mind, Levi's movements were not affected at all, and relying on the experience gained this time, they quickly and easily killed the remaining two granite golems. Although their strength should not be underestimated, these brainless creatures would become much easier to deal with once their behavior patterns were understood.
However, even after being weakened by magic, the defense of these guys was still not low. No matter whether it was arrows or halberds, they would make a "bang bang" sound when they hit their bodies. However, Bayoru and Cindy seemed to be relatively easy to deal with them.
The former is because it is a high-strength, low-agility type similar to the Sandstone Golem, and the two sides are perfectly matched. The latter is because of her psychic hammer.
Although these golems generally have a certain degree of magic resistance, which reduces the power of the psychic hammer this time, its attack speed is fast enough, so the overall damage is still sufficient.
In Levi's opinion, unless he encounters another epic victory and the opportunity to advance falls on someone else, Cindy will most likely be the first person to advance to level 5.
Soon, less than ten sandstone golems were also lured over by the patrolling wolf masters. Levi used the usual set of magic: quicksand trap + destroying golems + turning fossils into mud. What's more, his previous estimate was quite accurate. After killing these golems, there should still be five scrolls left, which can be saved for later use.
While he was thinking, Janet suddenly flew back to warn him that other teams were approaching rapidly, and their target was very clear, which was their battlefield.
Levi frowned immediately: "Let Sam open the treasure chest as soon as possible. Also, can you determine the other party's race?"
Janet nodded repeatedly. "Yes, although their team is very mixed, they are mainly green-skinned orcs riding wild boars, about 20 in number, and some goblins riding wolves, about 40 to 50 in number, with a small number of wild boars, wild wolves, and squigs following them."
"Then there are about a hundred infantrymen behind them. It looks a lot more chaotic. They should be the chosen heroes like you."
Janet has been following Levi for some time, so her knowledge has improved a lot in all aspects compared to when she was in the Hive. At least when it comes to judging the chosen heroes and the indigenous people, she will never confuse them.
Unless there is a large-scale military mobilization, the teams of ordinary indigenous peoples basically only have a few types of soldiers, while the team of God's chosen heroes will appear particularly messy, because most of the time they recruit whatever they come across and have no choice at all.
"Greenskin?"
Levi immediately remembered the old wizard's warning. Could this be the other party's act of revenge, in order to snatch the duet ring? Otherwise, why would the other party run straight towards him?
One has to admit that, no matter it was a coincidence or it was premeditated, the timing they chose was very good. The only pity was that they underestimated their own combat effectiveness!
The green-skinned boar boys are a tier 3 soldier. Like most greenskins, they have no decent armor and their defense is almost zero, but they have high attack and high health, making them a good soldier. However, he does not take a mere 20 of them seriously.
The Goblin Wolf Cavalry is at level 2. Although there is only one letter difference between them and the Earth Wolf Cavalry, the difference in combat effectiveness between them is huge. They are basically at the bottom of the same level.
Apart from their decent speed, they were almost useless in other aspects. Even Levi seriously doubted that they could not beat the Halfling Royal War Goose Knights of the same level 2 in a one-on-one fight.
As for the remaining infantry led by the God-chosen heroes, Levi is not bragging, at this stage, he will definitely not be afraid of any God-chosen heroes!
"Zhou Miyin, you heard what Janet said. Lead the halberd soldiers and spearmen to form a battle array in the direction of the greenskins."
"Donna, prepare to snipe the enemy cavalry. Leave the remaining sandstone golems to the big cats and patrol wolves."
"As for you, Julia, I have a dangerous mission for you. Harass the enemy infantry from the flank and delay their advance a little. Are you willing to accept it?"
"Yes, sir, please leave it to me. I will do my best!"
Although she is called a witch hunter, in fact, there are hardly any wizards among her targets. Most of the time, they are evil aliens, mostly undead, but also beastmen, skaven, even greenskins and goblins!
"Haha, okay, but remember, I only asked you to harass, not fight to the death. Arion Cavalry, you also go to guard together, but try to avoid close combat with the enemy!"
As he said this, Levi quickly cast a bunch of auxiliary magic on the opponent.
Although the Greenskins' war pigs and mount wolves are not the most professional mounts, and are not as good as Julia's warhorses in terms of endurance and speed, their explosive charge speed within a short distance is still very good. In addition, the Greenskins also have some archers that have poor accuracy but are not too weak in power, so even if it is just a harassment mission, there is a certain danger in it.
As for her subordinates, there was no need to cast magic, because even if they all died, as long as the money was enough, the Red Brotherhood and Lotus would be happy to provide him with more.
After thinking about it, Levi took off the Explorer's Ring and handed it to her. Although this thing seemed to be effective, it actually had significant limitations in use, and the description was extremely vague, so he could only use it by groping. No wonder it was only a green-quality wonder.
However, we can temporarily give it to scouts like Julia to try. If the effect is not good, we can just take it back after the war.
Soon Julia and the horse thieves left quickly. Levi summoned several Ice Sub-Kongs and told them to enchant the ranged troops. Then he kept casting quicksand traps in the open space in front of Zhou Miyin and the others.
The most feared thing about cavalry is the power of their charge. Once they stop, it is almost impossible for them to defeat spearmen and halberdmen of the same level.
Before, even the sandstone golems weighing nearly two thousand pounds would be delayed for a few seconds when they fell into the trap. Now Levi really wanted to know, what would happen to these greenskins, whose knights and mounts together could never weigh more than one thousand pounds, if they were forcibly stopped during a high-speed charge?
