Heart of Empire Chapter 165: Arrows and spells

With a distance of more than a hundred meters, the rangers shot the arrows in their hands.

At this distance, even elite rangers cannot guarantee the high accuracy when shooting wolf cavalry moving at high speed. But the elite ranger is an elite ranger after all, one round of shooting, sixty or seventy arrows, still caused more than twenty wolf cavalrymen to fall off their mounts.

Some wolf cavalry were shot by arrows and fell off their horses; But no matter what, the charge formation composed of sixty wolf cavalry was about to enter the rear of the pure sword mercenary regiment, and suffered such a round of heavy losses, and the result was simply tragic.

During the high-speed charge, falling off the mount, even with the generally strong body of the orcs, will definitely cause death or injury, and will definitely lose combat effectiveness. The loss of twenty wolf cavalry directly scattered the sharp wedge-shaped charge formation of these wolf cavalry, and the speed of the wolf cavalry's charge was also slowed down due to the sudden fall of the companions on the left and right.

However, this is only a prologue. The spells of the mages following up caused a devastating blow to the wolf cavalry's charge formation.

Twelve greasy spells were released on the charge path of these wolf cavalry. The ground suddenly became slippery, and among the wolf cavalry who were not hit by the elf arrows, another dozen or so fell into one piece, and the rest relied on superb riding skills or pure luck. The guy who fell down had to slow down the speed of the front. Some wolf cavalry who had not yet entered the range of the greasy technique strangled their mounts in horror, not daring to step into them.

The double arrival of Arrow Rain and Greasy Art disrupted most of the wolf cavalry's deadly charge. In the end, among the sixty wolf cavalry, only Miao Miao was in his early ten who could really enter the battle formation of the pure sword mercenary regiment. Even the orc commander couldn't get rid of it, and he was still in the range of the greasy technique. Struggling cautiously inside.

With a dozen wolf cavalry, the impact force is much smaller than sixty. Although some white-robed swordsmen were hacked to death by the scimitars of the wolf cavalry who rushed in, at least the formation of the entire team was not torn apart. After the wolf cavalrymen cut down a few swordsmen, they quickly lost their impact and were surrounded by more swordsmen, unable to move.

It has to be said that the wolf cavalry still has its own advantages. In addition to being inferior to human heavy cavalry in terms of impact, they are stronger than traditional human cavalry in several aspects. For example, super mobility. Although the speed of the wargs charging is not as good as that of war horses, their endurance is much stronger. They can continue to move at a certain speed, which surpasses human cavalry in terms of mobility.

And another advantage is the ability to fall into melee.

Human cavalry are awkward in melee. It is quite inconvenient for the cavalry to sit on tall horses and deal with swords coming from all directions. And the war horse itself is not very threatening when it is not charging up. But the wolf cavalry is different. In the melee, these wolfs, which are almost as tall as a man, have sharp claws and teeth, which are very threatening to human soldiers.

But the number of wolf cavalry is too small. If there were sixty of them, the formation of pure swords would definitely be torn apart from behind. But ten...

The wolf cavalry who rushed into the pure swordsmen still relied on the scimitar and the fangs and claws of the wargs to kill almost the same number of swordsmen in an instant, but they were immediately overwhelmed by the mercenaries who surrounded them. blocked in the army formation. One knife and one wolf have to face several two-handed swords at the same time. They are not powerful warriors with one enemy against one hundred, so they are easily hacked to death by random swords.

What's more, the second round of blows from rangers and mages struck again. This time, the rangers approached a few more steps, and the arrows they shot became more accurate. They aimed at the dozen or so wolf cavalry who fell behind during the charge and did not step into the range of the greasy technique, and fired intensively, killing them all directly. The mages also threw out the magic missiles in their hands, and blasted at the wolf cavalry who had entered the army formation of the pure sword mercenary regiment. Cooperating with the pure swordsmen, they caused some casualties, but failed. All the wolf cavalry who tore apart the formation were wiped out.

After this round of blows, of the more than 60 wolf cavalrymen, only 20 to less than 30 were still alive, and all of them were trapped in the range of the greasy technique. On the ground, some are still cautiously trying to get out of the slippery range. However, they couldn't survive the third round of blows, and in the end they all died within the range of the greasy technique, and none of them escaped.

The rangers and mages performed amazingly in this battle! Under the joint power of spells and arrows, only three rounds of attacks, less than a minute, the pure sword mercenary group that was on the edge of the cliff and about to fall into the bottomless abyss ~IndoMTL.com~ was stunned by They fished it back, and by the way they also took out the best part of the orc army, without missing a single one.

The three rounds of spellcasting have consumed the spell slots of the mages a bit seriously. After all, in this mage team, except for the three apprentices who followed Easterlin from another world when the mage tower was first established, the other eight or nine apprentices are all from Ori just now. The little guys brought out by Naidu. It's only been a little over a month since they entered the gate of magic. Although, with the addition of the training in the mage tower, they completed the level from a blank board to an apprentice within a month, but the continuous release of three first-level spells has basically reached the limit.

So, under the leadership of Easterling's three mage apprentices, the mage team began to retreat. Patience also assigned a sentry team to protect these noble guys—if a mage died here, he would definitely be furious when he returned to Dane. And she herself, leading the rest of the ranger team, started to move forward, aiming at the orc army that was fighting the human army and started shooting.

In the chaotic battle, it is not easy to shoot an enemy who is fighting face to face, and it is very easy to accidentally injure. But the elite rangers were not afraid of this at all. They shot arrows heartily, some missed the enemy, and most of them hit. But no matter what, there was not a single case of accidental injury.

The strength of the elite ranger squadron from the rest of Nancy's court can be seen!
