Chapter 300



300 The Finger of Death

Judging from the similar grayish-yellow skin, the Goblin army that attacked this time mostly came from the same tribe.

these gnomes were now in groups of 20, with a sergeant with a professional level in each group. at the front of the group, there was a gnomes leader who was a level six or seven warrior. there were more than 20 mount wolves behind it, many of which were ferocious wolves.

This kind of combat power, if the entire watchman Union encountered it, it would be a life-and-death battle.

All the player teams that had been adventuring outside the city had been attacked by the Goblin Raiders. most of the weapons in the hands of the warriors were the first ones that had seen blood on the gnomes.

The gnomes had a large population, and they had a high fertility rate due to their small size. Therefore, even though the gnomes were exterminated in waves, they quickly recovered their numbers and continued to attack the merchants along the way.

But at this moment, after seeing Zhao Xu cast two fireballs at the same time, the leader of the gnomes had already blown his whistle and ordered the rest of the gnomes behind him to avoid the attack.

however, due to the gnomes ‘forward momentum, they couldn’t dodge the fireballs that were flying at them. at first glance, one would think that the gnomes were determined to die.

The moment Zhao Xu cast the spell, the two fireballs had already decided where they were going to land.

the fireball spell was a long-range spell, and in zhao xu’s hands, it could directly hit an enemy 200 meters away. its range was already as far as a single bazooka.

as the two fireballs landed on the ground and touched the dust on the ground, they exploded like grenades. the originally calm air instantly swept up monstrous waves of fire, followed by a loud roar.

countless gnomes who were still in a daze were engulfed by the fire waves. they were engulfed by the fire waves and could not struggle as if they were trapped in a sea of fire.

for a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with the painful wails of the gnomes. it was very mournful.

The basic damage of the fireball spell was 1 to 6 points of damage (1d6), and Zhao Xu’s spellcaster level was Level 7, so all the gnomes in the sea of fire received a total of 7 layers of damage, and the damage range ranged from 7 to 42 points (7d6).

With a normal Goblin’s 5HP, it would be burned to death by the high temperature of the fireball.

By the time the magic flames from the fireball spell had slowly dissipated, the Goblin army that had been charging at them valiantly had turned into Goblin corpses that were all over the ground. Their bodies had been burnt black.

it was a pity that the ” fireball ” spell only had a momentary flame explosion. otherwise, everyone would see a charred goblin corpse. in this case, even the ordinary fifth-circle ” resurrection of the dead ” could not save it.

however, in the eyes of the overwatch union, this was not the case.

this was the first time they had seen a fireball spell that covered most of the enemy in an open field and the true damage it could cause.

anyone would feel uncomfortable when they saw that 95% of the goblin army, which had more than 100 goblins, were killed by two fireballs.

“it’s the brutal fireball technique.”

it’s the brutal mages. Even if there are still gnomes alive, they don’t dare to move and are playing dead on the ground.

” why is the goblin king dead? is the maximum damage of the fireball so high? ” Rogue Bandit, who had good observation skills, noticed this and asked.

he had heard of the level 3 spell ” fireball ” and knew that this spell could avoid half of the damage through reflex immunity.

even after the rogue class completed level 2 training, they obtained the ability ” reflex evasion, ” which allowed them to directly avoid the damage of this spell.

According to his guess, even if the Goblin King didn’t manage to Dodge, it wouldn’t have kneeled on the ground.

The leader of the goblins was wearing a half-body armor and holding a greatsword. He was as strong as a Level-5 human warrior. However, he was still a corpse on the ground, allowing the wind and rain to beat him.

It had worked so hard for half its life to develop this powerful Goblin tribe, but it had been turned into ashes by Zhao Xu’s two fireballs. Even if the leader was still alive, he would rather be dead, and he couldn’t accept this.

Chen nuo then explained to his companions, ” that Goblin King was hit by two fireballs at the same time.

The fireball spell’s effective range was a circle with a radius of six meters, and the football field goal was only about seven meters wide. and once the two circles were close, there would naturally be room for them to overlap.

It was easy to use fireballs to cover the gnomes, but it was not so easy to cover a specific person with an overlapping area. The larger the overlapping area, the smaller the coverage area on both sides of the wing.

Coupled with the fact that the gnomes were already charging forward, the fact that the gale mage was able to cover the area so exquisitely showed that he had plenty of combat experience.

at this moment, several of the higher-ups, including frostsword, were deep in thought.

When the three trolls saw this, their instinctive fear of fire made them hesitate.

however, this hesitation was immediately replaced by their own desire. they continued to raise their weapons and charge at the guild players who were waiting in formation.

“cage, you lead your team of four to kill the gnomes who survived the fireball.” Frostsword shouted.

he immediately sent away the players who were at a disadvantage against the trolls and arranged for them to check the gnomes on the ground to see if they were all dead. this was to prevent them from being ambushed by the gnomes ‘javelins in the battle with the trolls.

At this moment, the Warriors in formation charged forward bravely. They raised their tower shields and faced the trolls ‘attacks.

After two months of training, the players had realized that everyone’s time was equal in Arthur.

No matter how capable the trolls were, they could only attack one or two players every round.

in the absence of magic attacks, even if players stood in line for the trolls to kill them, they would have to wait for more than ten rounds.

when the troll hunter in the lead saw this scene, it immediately understood the players ‘plan with its 10 intelligence. however, it did not care at all and directly raised the battle axe in its hand to slash at the nearest player.

however, due to the close distance, half of the flame arrows from the guild’s rangers missed. even if they were accurate, they would be blocked by the troll’s strong defense.

The three attacking trolls were all wearing chain armors, which provided a full Tier 5 armor defense. The trolls also had a Tier 5 natural defense.

With the two of them stacked together, his defense was over level 20, and he immediately exerted a great pressure on the players present.

and by relying on the limited 1st-circle magic damage of the spellcaster, even the damage that had just been caused would be directly recovered by the troll’s 5 hp regeneration ability every round.

During the first round of battle with the trolls, the Guild’s upper echelons, including frostsword, had already realized this. However, they had been at a loss for what to do.

Frostsword could only shout for the Barbarian players to take the lead and act as the main damage dealers.

as long as a barbarian started with high strength and physique, coupled with the ‘berserk’ ability, it would guarantee a certain lower limit of damage output.

but zhao xu didn’t cast any fire buffs on the barbarian players ‘weapons, so even if they managed to break through the troll’s defense, they would only be able to deal non-fatal damage to it.

the players could wear armor, and so could the monsters.

Therefore, sometimes, players could not use the same spells, such as ‘confusion’ spells, against monsters because they were immune to all kinds of spells. On the other hand, monsters with casting abilities would be able to use them accurately against players.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was also observing the battle. He was also trying to gauge the strength of the Watchmen Guild.

The trolls were able to successfully knock down players every time they attacked. It seemed that they were limited by the damage of their weapons and the other party was not attacking with full force, so the priests wandering around could still calmly use ‘minor healing’ spells to recover the players who had fallen to the ground.

pull their lifelines from below 0HP to above 0HP.

This was the advantage of a 40-man Guild. As long as the trolls didn’t deal a critical hit, the players wouldn’t suffer too many casualties before the priests ‘healing spell slots ran out and the players’ endurance was not exhausted.

If Zhao Xu’s team was a four-man team, they would only need two rounds, and the entire team would have to lie on the ground and wait to be resurrected.

However, frostsword, who had been observing the battle from a corner and was ready to take over at any time, had already understood that the situation was already hopeless.

the limited two priests in the team had to take the risk to walk to the side of the fallen players every round. when they needed to use the ‘healing spell’ that they needed to come into contact with, he knew that it would be disadvantageous for them to delay.

Even the players who had their health restored by the priests could only barely escape from the state of near death. If they dared to go forward without full health, they would definitely die on the spot the next time.

There weren’t many spellcasters in Arthur to begin with. Their 40-man Guild team with three priests was already extravagant enough. Thus, reviving the players who had been knocked down was already their limit. It was beyond their power to recover them to full health.

naturally, the number of barbarians and warriors in the watchmen guild who could slow down the trolls ‘advance in close combat visibly decreased.

in such a difficult situation, the monk and ranger also began to move forward to pin down the enemy.

Originally, the players were able to defeat the stronger ones and defeat high-challenge level monsters because they performed well in the process of attacking. Their performance rating was around ” level 20 ” and they successfully dealt damage.

But now, against these trolls who could regenerate and recover health, this strategy lost its effectiveness for the first time.

“Wind mage, do you still have any second-circle spells that you can use?” at this moment, frostsword, who had also been knocked back, got closer to zhao xu and asked this question, even though he was quite surprised that this gale wizard wasn’t nervous at all.

He also knew that Zhao Xu had used two level 3 fireballs, so there was no way he could continue preparing fireballs. In fact, he might not even have any more Level 3 spell slots.

He could only hope that this mage had some kind of magical second-circle spell that could help.

by now, zhao xu had a good idea of how strong the overwatch association was, so he said, ” “alright,” he said.

Just as frostsword thought that the Wind Mage was going to cast some spell to weaken the three trolls, he saw the Wind Mage pick up the staff that had been hanging on his waist. It was a slender staff made entirely of finger bones, and at the top of it was a very strange-looking miniature skull.

Zhao Xu raised the legendary undead staff in his hand and pointed it at The Troll Hunter in front of him. He cast a level 7 spell on the staff and said softly, ” “Finger of Death.”
