The huge water dragon raised its head and roared to the sky as if responding to Lance's order. The powerful sound made the goblin warriors nearby retreat together. But it was too late to escape now. The water surface of the entire moat was affected by the magic of the water dragon and vibrated violently like boiling water. The water vortex transformed into circles, and waves soared into the sky, and waves of water rose up, rushing all the corpses in the moat that were paved by the goblins into the sky. Then the surging water waves turned into water blades and shot out at the goblins in front of them like machine guns.
In the card Water Dragon's skills, the water element control is a B-level skill, which is equivalent to a level 5 range magic. However, because Water Dragon itself also has a magic heart skill special effect, it can double the elemental damage and the number of water blades at one time, now the water blade's continuous shots have suddenly climbed to the level of level 6 magic, and the effect is really sweeping across thousands of troops.
The water dragon kept absorbing the water source in the moat. The Goblin army, which was so powerful that it was completely unable to raise its head. As soon as it approached, it was immediately swept away. Although their huge military force continued to attack, the water dragon fired the water blades too fast, just like Lance and Hei Steel, who had no choice but to use the water blades that were injured in the middle distance of the water dragon, let alone counterattack. In this situation, although there were many Goblin warriors, they were only from level E to level D. In front of this high-level and convenient water dragon, they could only act as cannon fodder to keep dying.
Of course, if it is just this way, then the Goblin army can still use their number and cross the river bypassing the attack range of the Water Dragon, but don't forget. There are also long-range artillery batteries on the other side of the city wall to help the Water Dragon continuously bombard the Goblin army.
After more than a minute of magic charging, the roar of the giant cannon sounded again. Compared with the water blade of the water dragon, the damage of the giant cannon is more intuitive. With one shot, it can immediately clear a piece of the scorching area of the magic flames. Five cannons lined up one after another. A large area of goblins on the field fell down instantly, and the rest could not have good luck. The water blade of the water dragon followed, and even if they escaped the successive attacks, there were still arrows of archers waiting for them on the city wall.
This sudden reversal boosted the morale of the army that had almost collapsed on the moat bank. Especially the mercenaries who had no firm will, and the civilians who were forced by the situation and now had no idea under the power of the Goblin army, could not help but cheer after seeing this scene.
The Goblins' army was curbed!
The joyful atmosphere swept away the sadness of the last desperate journey. As the person in charge of the city's defense line, Taran knew that it was far from the time to celebrate, but he couldn't help but turn his head and look over the city wall. There was a lonely figure standing on the top of the city. With a temperament of looking down on all living beings, he overlooked the battlefield that was full of heaven.
He did it, he did it!
Taran's heart was hot. He really wanted to pull out his weapons and rush forward to fight the green-skinned macaques. But his current identity is a commander and cannot act on impulse. He temporarily suspended the surging fighting spirit in his heart. Taran was determined to release them in the next crucial battle.
If anyone on this battlefield is quite in line with him, then it should be Parker who stands respectfully behind Lance at this moment. It is slightly different from Taran. He was not as arrogant as the former at the beginning, but the result now gave him a slap. God knows that he is still very happy about it - the county magistrate is so powerful, no wonder he can command so calmly.
The Goblin Legion now organized several waves of attacks, and the shadow of General Goblin appeared among them, taking the lead in charge at the front line. However, after all, the military mercenaries on the other side of the moat were not all fools, and they would not let the other party take advantage of the loopholes in the water dragon attack. After this confrontation, the Goblin Legion returned in vain.
The front gradually fell into a stalemate. Although Lance's firepower was strong and he kept suppressing the opponent, the number of people on the Goblin was too large. Death of one or two hundred at a time was no problem with the total number. The vacancy left was soon filled by other soldiers who rushed up, and no one could do anything for a while.
Parker, who saw this scene, for a moment, forgot his identity as a guard and asked, "If you continue to fight like this, will those goblins retreat if they can't capture the city wall?"
Parker actually blurted out this inadvertently, but unexpectedly, Lance answered him seriously: "If they are willing to retreat, it will be the best result. I'm afraid they will fight to the end."
Parker couldn't understand what this said for a moment. He savored it carefully. Does the governor think that we are at a disadvantage now?
As if he was read, Lance immediately spoke: "Our situation is still at a disadvantage. After all, the magic of the water dragon and the ammunition of the turret are not infinite, but now the Goblins have only suffered thousands of casualties. I am sure that this number is not as good as one-fifth of the total number of their attacks this time. They are still delaying time when doing so."
"Procrastinate?" Parker didn't care about usurping this time.
Lance nodded without caring: "It's probably waiting for their real main force. Our beacon has been lit for more than twenty minutes, and we have been fighting with the Goblin for so long, but there is not even a single person coming. It seems that the people in the training camp should have encountered the opponent's main force."
“You mean…”
"After they kill those people, they will turn around to deal with us. This battle lasts until reinforcements arrive, which is our victory. If they can't hold on..." Lance said this, and did not continue.
But the meaning is actually very obvious. Parker seemed to be infected by Lance's words and said seriously: "Mr. County Master, I will definitely protect you if I try my best."
Lance turned his head and nodded to the guard who looked younger than him.
Of course, Lance is definitely not a consequence-minded person. On the contrary, he made this series of arrangements after careful thinking. If such a front could be dragged to support the reinforcements, it would be natural for everyone to be happy. But if he really couldn't hold on, Lance thought that with the power of Fiona and the water dragon could also make a bloody road in the Goblin army. He took him away, but in this way, the soldiers and civilians under the city wall who were still struggling with vitality would not escape and die. Even if Lance led the army back in the end, there would be only a dead city left in Feront County.
Until the end, he didn't want to give up.
——Lance is still trying hard to save something.
After all, he was not a complete demon. Half of his mother's blood flowed in his body. The thing that he inherited from the extremely weak but particularly gentle mother who had been looked down upon since he was a child, so he was still insisting on it.
But some things on the battlefield are not transferred by human will.
There was a sudden change on the stalemate line. I don’t know if it was the failure of the Goblin charge, the group of green-skinned dwarfs began to evacuate on a large scale.
"Master County, did we win?" Parker asked with wide eyes, unable to hide his surprise.
But Lance's face was covered with a layer of frost: "No, no, it's the strategy of the opposite side that has changed."
This sentence instantly brought Parker's excitement back to his original form. He couldn't believe it, but this was the prediction of the county magistrate. In fact, Lance now had some similar meanings in Parker's eyes as Taran and others.
His eyes looked at the battlefield, and the hustle and bustle just now began to calm down. The evacuation of the Goblin means that both the Water Dragon, the Fortress and the Archer can take a break for a while - this should have been an inspiring thing. But after Lance's reminder, Parker discovered a very serious problem.
"The Goblin didn't leave!"
His eagle eyes swept across the battlefield. Although the green-skinned dwarfs retreated like a tide, they stopped just after retreating to the turret and the archer's attack range. They neither attack nor retreat, as if they were waiting patiently for something.
"What are they going to do?" Parker asked in confusion. Lance, the county magistrate who usually has no airs, has reduced the barriers and increased closeness.
But Lance answered him with a sudden alert voice: "Oh no!"
"Well..." Parker had not had time to ask, but Lance suddenly turned sideways and rushed out of the city wall, shouting to the guards below: "Be careful of the underground!"
The joyful voices under the city came to an abrupt end.
However, Lance's reminder was still a little late, because the first one was not the soldiers or civilians who were excited about the goblin retreating, but the water dragon that Lance arranged in the moat to truly achieve the goal of being a man without any obstacles. Dozens of tentacles rushed out of the water at the same time, tightly bound the whole body of the water dragon, and dragged it into the bottom of the water.
Lance was careless. How could he forget that there was the existence of the Demon Worm in the other party's camp?
Moreover, judging from the number of tentacles just now, there were more than one person who suddenly attacked, at least three demon insects!
C+ level monsters like the Jumo Worm have not strong defenses, but because they are always hidden underground and succeed by sneak attacks, even the water dragons at the two levels higher than them are locked by the other party and cannot move, and they have become prey under the other party's mouth.
But Lance had no time to worry about Shui Jiao. He turned his head and looked towards the turret.
Sure enough, creatures like giant squid drilled out of the land and climbed up the tower through their tentacles. In terms of image, the devil worm looks different from an octopus. Its tentacles are sticky and slippery, and its head is like the buds of a plant, without eyes, and relying on perceptual actions similar to cavemen. When its head cracks, it is a bloody mouth that accounts for half of the body, with sharp teeth opening layers like turbines.
The appearance of the devil worm not only instantly bound Lance's water dragon, but now they also intend to destroy Lance's turret and destroy all the means of long-range fire suppression of Lance.
"Fiona!" Lance called Fiona's name directly in desperation.
The girl who has always followed Lance like a shadow, wouldn't need Lance to give orders. She has released magic. Fiona's dark magic does not only control magic similar to shadows, but also a kind of ranged against enemies.
Fiona just stretched out her hand, and the hat on her head was blown away by the bitter wind, her long hair was flying, and the horns that had been covered by the hat were exposed, proving the girl's unreliable identity as a demon.
The devil race has always advocated violence and liked to pursue power with simplicity and rudeness, but this does not mean that they are not proficient in magic. On the contrary, demons have a natural control over magic.
I saw Fiona raised her arms flat and aimed her snow-white palm at the Demon Worm. The magical luster burst out from her purple pupils. She seemed to have grabbed something out of thin air, and then clenched her fist tightly.
The demon worm, who was trying hard to climb in the sight of Lance and others, collapsed in the air in a split and green mucus sprayed out and splashed all over the ground.
It wasn't over yet, Fiona quickly shifted her hand and aimed at the next target...
But this speed is not as good as the attack of five demon worms at the same time. Although Fiona's magic is effective, the problem is that she can only lock in one target at a time. Although Fiona finally eliminated 4 demon worms (one escaped), the five defensive towers standing behind them were also destroyed.
Lance had no time to feel regret or take a breath. He turned his head and looked at the battlefield. Sure enough, some new creatures appeared in that green ocean.
Compared with an ordinary goblin, his body was extremely huge and fat, lying on a lounge chair fixed with rough wooden boards and thatch, lazily looking at the battle situation on the side of the city wall.
A flash of data flashed across the retina.
The King of Goblins, A-level creatures, 459 life, 73 physical attacks, 88 magic attacks, appearance can increase all Goblin morale.
Skills: magnificent a-, dominating b+, strategy b, and servile monster b.
"Meow!" Lance finally couldn't pretend to be calm anymore and cursed. (To be continued...)
