Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 248: fireball

"Eugene, has your special mother's fireball been suppressed? The enemies are rushing over, hurry up!" The ogre leader, Neil, standing on the slope, looked up at the large number of ogres who were about to come. After getting into flames with the enemy, he roared violently at the Ede behind him.

"..." Eugene, the Ogre Warlock who was floating in mid-air, flapping his two small skin wings, was so angry that he almost fell to the ground by the vulgar words of the ogre leader. I saw his chest heaving up and down, resisting the urge to beat someone, and using all his strength to stabilize his floating body.

Then the two small glittering eyes glared at the ogre leader fiercely, and continued to concentrate on controlling the dark red fireball that gradually increased in size in front of him.

Warlock Eugene looked at the huge fireball floating in front of him, and locked his gaze on the place where the hobgoblins, bear goblins, and various ferocious beasts were most densely distributed in the distance.

"The tongue of a bat, the smell of sulphur, makes the most fiery flames burst out of the pure air!"

Immediately afterwards, the air trembled with the deafening scream of Eugene, the Ogden Warlock. An extremely huge dark red fireball with the whistling sound of tearing the air crossed a graceful arc and appeared in the horde of goblins. above.

"Boom!"

The scorching flames burst, the high-temperature flames raged wildly, and the violent impact mixed with the refurbished soil splashing around.

"thump!"

At the moment when the weak Odean Eugene threw the fireball, he lost his strength and fell into the verdant grass. He glanced at the effect of the fireball and nodded with satisfaction.

He is a warlock by profession, but only has the highest affinity for the fire of the energy system. He is very obsessed with the beauty of art in explosions. He once asked the goblin wizard: how to cast a fireball to be more outstanding?

The goblin wizard gave him a very simple answer: to increase the power of a spell, some passwords in the spell must be changed, but as long as the spell spell is changed, it will become more difficult to control, and there are unknown dangers, especially The most destructive evocation spell. This technique is a great test of the caster's proficiency in controlling spell energy.

When he understood what Malvasia meant, he immediately put it into action, and finally successfully mastered the use of this super-large fireball.

Although he can only cast one at most with his current strength, the improvement of personal strength is not very strong, but the change in this large-scale battle is still very twisting.

When the shaking ground stopped and the hot smoke dissipated, more than two hundred ogre warriors with sturdy physique and ferocious features immediately waved their mace and roared to meet the warriors of the goblin group. He fell into the bloodiest close-quarters fight.

Although the Hobgoblin warriors in the front row were well-equipped and their attack formations were neat and orderly, their numbers were no match for the ogres.

Moreover, these ogre warriors from Horn Town are also wearing simple iron armor, and the blunt weapons in their hands are the most lethal to heavy armor.

At the moment of contact between the two sides, the captives and beasts led by the Hobgoblin warriors were immediately scattered by more than two hundred grumpy and irritable ogres, and they fell into a one-sided situation. It was only a matter of time before they rushed into the center of the battlefield.

At the same time, accompanied by the undulating wolf howls, the more than 100 goblins on the flanks with light crossbows nimbly jumped down from the Warg's back, mercilessly pouring down a torrential rain of crossbows.

Accompanied by the brisk and rhythmic light crossbow pulling the trigger, there was a 'click' sound. A large number of charging beasts and humanoid captives fell on the way forward like reaping wheat in a dense rain of arrows.

When the goblins of Horn Town finished pouring out all the crossbows of the light crossbow, they immediately left the Wargs beside them, turned to evacuate, and more than a hundred roaring Wargs took the opportunity to rush up to carry out the relay.

"charge!"

Immediately afterwards, there were about 150 orc wolf cavalry soldiers. These orc warriors rode the wolves. Each of them held a large curved blade with a thick back in his hand, and a small blade wrapped around the other arm. Round shield.

For the size of a human, this kind of curved-blade sword basically needs to be held in both hands. In the hands of a burly orc, it can easily dance and chop with one hand, and it is especially suitable for fighting with agile Warg.

More than 100 orc wolf cavalrymen scattered, in a line-shaped formation to double-team the battlefield of the hobgoblins.

With every swooping of the wolves, the orc warriors, with the help of condescending aura, can easily harvest the enemy's life with their powerful curved-blade broadsword.

Soon, the Orc Wolf Cavalry took advantage of the Warg's nimble mobility and rushed into the chaotic horde of goblins.

It was followed by a dozen orc shamans in cloth robes led by the orc leader Sarn.

The only thing they have in common is that each of them holds a small piece of totem artifact made from the skull of a beast, with the image of a heroic orc warrior carved on it.

This is a soul shaman, and it is also a basic occupation, but if you want to take a job successfully, you must teach the apprentices the knowledge of ancestor totem and the kingdom of spirit under the guidance of the shaman teacher.

Their power comes from the totem they worship, which can also be called: the power of the ancestors.

They also don't need to study spells like sorcerers, and don't rely on blood like sorcerers, but use ancestral totems they worship to grant them power, and they usually refer to themselves as spokesmen of the realm of spirits, rather than followers of a god.

- "Supernatural ability: Nether Guardian!"

- "Supernatural ability: Blessing of Soul Essence!"

- "Supernatural ability: Spiritual guardian!"

As the totem instruments in the hands of a dozen orc shamans flickered frequently, a creepy yin wind was blowing around.

Immediately, a semi-transparent orc warrior in heavy armor with a sword and shield appeared from the yin wind, floating about half a meter from the ground, motionless.

Immediately afterwards, the orc shamans issued orders to these nether guards who were summoned from the realm of spirits.

These ghost guards, immune to ordinary physical attacks, instantly waved weapons exuding ghostly aura in their hands, and drifted silently and rapidly towards the chaotic battlefield.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Several hobgoblin warriors who could not escape were stabbed by the Nether Guard's long sword. Although no wounds were left, a chilly breath was injected into their bodies. The galloping orc-wolf cavalry wielded the curved-blade broadsword to harvest life.

"Steady! Steady! The people of the Almighty have nothing to fear!" The Hobgoblin army commander standing on the siege tower roared angrily, looking at the situation that was about to collapse.

With every roar of his roar, the morale of the hobgoblin warriors who were caught in the hard battle would increase by a level.

As the people of the Almighty, they always believe that the soul after death will still follow the Goblin Patronus to continue to fight in the four directions in the Shura plane, so the importance of the Hobgoblin warrior to the honor of the military battle is above all else.

For them, death is more like another new life full of honor.

"Don't panic! Don't..." The hobgoblin army commander standing in the siege tower hissed and shouted before it ended. A figure with flames burning all over its body and spreading out its flame wings was wrapped in a scorching fire wave and smashed towards him fiercely.

"boom!"

When Hokage collided with the Hobgoblin Army Commander, the Hobgoblin Army Commander was directly forced to retreat by the strong charge and the scorching flames, and crashed into the fence of the siege tower.

The flames dissipated, and Thorne's sword-wielding figure appeared in front of the Hobgoblin commander.

"It's you! Half-elf ranger! Stalker of the Silent Way!"

The captain of the big goblin army saw the appearance of the person who came, and gritted his teeth, the anger burning in his angry eyes, as if there was a deep hatred that permeated the blood between the two.

Thorne was not surprised that the Hobgoblin Commander recognized him.

After all, he had been living in the Forest of Tranquility a few days ago, and almost all the high-level hobgoblin leaders were deeply impressed by him.

Thorne knew it wasn't the time to talk trash, though, because he had noticed the rushing footsteps of boots stomping on the wooden steps below the siege tower.

Obviously, this is the **** of the Hobgoblin army commander who came to support.

With a thought, Thorne immediately instructed his animal companion, Fulong Beast, to block the entrance of the stairs through his emotional connection ability.

Rangers and druids, as well as priests who have obtained the animal realm, can obtain a special animal companion, and when you identify an animal as your animal companion through the connection ceremony and establish a master-servant relationship.

Then the animal identified by you will gain some special abilities as its level increases.

For example, his Fulong beast, in addition to "emotional connection" and "spell sharing".

With his current level 7 ranger strength, Fulong Beast can also gain an additional 4 points of health, 4 points of natural defense, and 2 points of strength and agility attributes.

And also got a special feat "Reflection Evasion", which greatly enhanced the ability of Fulong Beast to evade spells.

In fact, a normal ranger, animal companion does not have as many enhancements as Druid. But because he obtained the animal domain, the two abilities of the ranger and the domain overlapped each other and became equal to the druid.

— "Spell-Like Ability: Demon Summons!"

The moment Thorne stabilized his body, his hand did not stop at all. With a wave of the Demon Slayer Sword, a circle of light appeared between him and the captain of the Hobgoblin army.

With the strong breath of the abyss permeating, five cowardices jumping like a group of curious babies appeared in the siege tower.

Invaded by the will of the abyss!

Will saving throw in progress...

Will save succeeded!

You have successfully saved the chaotic will from the abyss!

The demons you summon will obey your commands!

Looking at the five half-human-height cowardices, Thorne's thoughts moved, and the five cowardices moved their clumsy bodies to block the stairs.

— "Spell-like ability: mass terror!"

— "Spell-like ability: Darkness!"

— "Spell-like ability: Stinking Cloud!"

The cowardly demons made strange screams while running, and a large black cloud appeared within the range of the siege tower, and the space where everyone was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Immediately afterward, the thick stinky cloud spewed out of the dark red mouth full of saliva, these spit-smelling smells permeated the entire siege tower at a very fast speed, hiding in the siege tower. All of the hobgoblins were affected, and they all stooped and vomited.

And the wizards who were preparing to support below the siege tower chose to give up the attack because they could not see the situation inside clearly.

Finally, there was a terrifying shriek that reverberated frequently.

Thorne launched the steel soul pie's coping skills and endured the stinky cloud that smelled like rotten eggs.

"Clang clang!"

The long sword and the blood axe collided violently in succession, wiping out dazzling sparks.

Since Thorne has been blessed with many magical powers by Druids, his current attributes have completely surpassed those of the hobgoblin army leaders with strength above the third rank.

The continuous collision between the two is completely dominated by him, but it is a little difficult to quickly win the other side.

After all, as a Hobgoblin army commander, he already belongs to a position second only to the Hobgoblin leader. Even if the strength is not the strongest in the Hobgoblin tribe, the rich experience accumulated in countless battles, big and small, is not comparable to him. Yes, and the opponent's strength also stabilized him by the first rank.

If it wasn't for his magical powers, it would be very difficult to resist the fiercest counterattack of the blood axe in the hands of the goblin.

"boom!"

In the continuous collision between the two, Thorne found the opportunity and slashed the shoulder of the Hobgoblin army commander with a sword, but apart from leaving a string of dazzling sparks, it did not cause any substantial damage, but also caused him Because of his excessive force, his arm was numb due to the shock.

"clang!"

Seeing that Thorne was in a bad situation, he hurriedly used another dagger to block, and the blood axe of the Hobgoblin army commander hit Thorne's dagger with a forceful blow, knocking him back again and again.

"go to hell!"

Immediately afterwards, the commander of the Hobgoblin army, who was chasing after the victory, clenched the handle of the axe with both hands and used all his strength to slash at Thorne, who was unsteady.

"boom!"

Thorne raised his sword and struggled to resist the full blow of the Hobgoblin army commander, and the strong force caused him to almost kneel on the ground.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a goblin rogue who was climbing up behind Thorne with the help of the wall of the siege tower slammed into his shoulder with a sharp blade.

Feeling the burning pain in his shoulder, Thorne had a cold sweat on his forehead. If he hadn't blessed the "Tree Skin Technique", I'm afraid one arm would have been abolished by the sneak attacking enemy.

The injured Thorne was heartbroken, and no longer worried about whether the fighting situation here would be noticed by the wizard below.

I saw him roll on the spot, dodging the double attack of the Hobgoblin Army Commander and the Bear Goblin Rogue.

- "Desert Wind Sect (Stance Skill): Flames!"

Then, with a thought, a raging flame barrier burned violently around him, emitting a scorching flame, and the blooming fire light directly dispelled the shadow formed by the "Black Cloud Technique".

"Ah! Ah!"

Because the space at the top of the siege tower was already small, when Thorne's whole body ignited the flames, the two people around him were immediately attacked, and the dense hairs on his body were ignited by the flames.

Especially the bear goblin wanderer, directly turned into a fire man, throwing away the weapon in his hand and rolling frantically on the ground, trying to put out the flame.

Taking this opportunity, Thorne immediately called for the animal companion who was blocking the stairs with Cowardice.

"Roar!"

With the low roar of the Fulong Beast, it turned into a black shadow and appeared behind the commander of the Hobgoblin army. The two strong front claws grabbed his shoulders on both sides respectively, restraining his next actions.

- "Shadow Hand School (Strike Skill): Shadow Twist!"

Thorne, who was protected by the flame barrier, immediately stretched out his hand and waved at the air, and a rope completely condensed by shadow energy appeared in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed towards the struggling Hobgoblin army commander. He was restrained by the dragon beast and had no time to escape. He was restrained by the rope, and the cold shadow energy penetrated into the body along the skin, causing his entire body to begin to change. be slow.

"Roar!"

The Fulong Beast took this opportunity to open its **** mouth, its upper and lower jaws exerted force at the same time, biting on the neck of the Hobgoblin army commander, which was not covered by the armor, and a bunch of neurotoxins leaked out from the sharp fangs and injected into the Hobgoblin. The body of the Legion Commander.

"Pfft!"

Thorne glanced at the goblin bear who was about to put out the flame, and the long sword stabbed violently.

When the long sword stabbed the leader of the Hobgoblin army to death, the bear goblin wanderer on the ground suddenly stood up and roared, ignoring Thorne's burning flame barrier, and opened his strong arms and rushed from behind.

Thorne, who felt the crisis, knew that he could not escape the grapple of the bear goblins. When he smelled the stench of bad breath, his face changed suddenly, and he endured the pain in his shoulders and tried his best to tilt his body slightly. , The goblin bear's ferocious fangs that had been biting towards his neck all pierced into his shoulder on the other side.

- "Awesome momentum!"

Thorne endured the pain of piercing the flesh with his fangs, and with a thought, the suffocating murderous aura seemed to suppress the biting goblin bear.

The trembling goblin bear paused for a moment, and was immediately seized by Thorne, and he slammed his elbows back, hammering **** the goblin bear's soft abdomen.

Under attack, the goblin bear was forced to retreat after tearing a piece of flesh off Thorne's shoulder.

"Pfft!"

The pale-faced Thorne raised his sword and threw it violently, directly piercing the goblin bear's chest, instantly dying.

At the same time, Thorne immediately retracted the flame barrier around him, and the top of the siege tower fell into darkness again.

"Block the enemy at the entrance of the stairs." Thorne instructed looking at the dragon beast, then took away the long sword inserted into the goblin bear, and then looked at the blood axe and the armor covering the whole body of the commander of the goblin.

The full body armor that can withstand the full blow of his Demon Slaying Sword is definitely not easy, and he is naturally not going to let it go. Even if he can't use it himself, at least he can exchange for a large amount of gold coins.

The dragon beast pouted at Thorne, turned and ran over.

Thorne, who took a sigh of relief, looked at the Hobgoblin warriors who had not stopped sieging the city, the Horn Town reinforcements who had already reached the bottom of the siege tower, and the Fulong beast who completely blocked the impact of the stairs.

Without any scruples, he pondered for a while, then half-leaned on the fence of the siege tower, put the long sword in the scabbard, and began to prepare spells.

— "Spell-like ability: Fireball!"

- "Desert Wind Faction (Strike Skill): Fire Bomb!"

Thorne looked at the two large and small fireballs in the palm of his hand. He did not rush to throw them, but guided them carefully, so that the two fireballs slowly merged.

"Om!"

When the two beating fireballs merged, the volume suddenly increased a lot.

Thorne then went on to unleash the fireball spell-like spell, channeling the energy of the chi into dangerous flames.

The fusion of the two fireballs and the techniques to enhance the size and power of the fireballs are exactly what he has learned through practice in the past three months.

Although the speed of cohesion is too slow, the improvement of his own strength is not very large, but it is especially suitable for this kind of large-scale war, especially in the most densely crowded places.

In this way, in Thorne's careful condensing, when he exhausted all the fireballs attached to the spell-like abilities, and the energy of Qi in his body was about to be depleted, the fireball the size of a washbasin had been condensed into a fireball by him. An oversized dark red fireball with a diameter of nearly three meters.

Thorne glanced at the large number of hobgoblin warriors gathered in the direction of the city wall, his eyes were reddened by the fireball, and he used the last of his strength to throw it violently.

"call!"

The huge fireball greeted the Hobgoblins with a whistling sound.

When the fireball was about to approach, the heat radiated instantly burned the cheeks of all enemies within the range, and even some furious apes had begun to spontaneously ignite.

Suddenly, the fireball as dazzling as the sun fell from the sky.

The big goblins screamed loudly and shielded their eyes with their shields, the dire beasts whimpered and buried their heads in the green weeds, and the little goblins were chattering like ants on a hot pot.

"Boom!"

The dark red fireball mercilessly smashed into the stunned enemy group, and a dazzling orange flash erupted in the shocking loud noise, as if endless energy sprayed flames and rage rages all creatures within the range, and the violent impact is accompanied by rumbling. The loud noise made the whole earth tremble.

The towering cloud-ladder car and the few remaining siege towers were all overturned by the air waves of the fireball, burning with raging fire, and the stumps and arms that were blown up by the fireballs and the corpses of a **** hobgoblin were everywhere under the city wall. .

...
