Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Chapter 597: Poison Swamp Melee

Almost all participating lords have brought high-level fighters at the bottom of the box.

Therefore, the actual combat effectiveness of this team should not be underestimated.

When they took the potion and entered the poisonous mist swamp, they immediately received the attention of all the surrounding lords.

The Poison Mist Swamp has always been a mysterious and dangerous place in the south of the region.

In the case of acting alone or in a small group, the lords dare not rush into it.

But this time the situation is completely different from the previous ones. The strength that more than two hundred lords can display after forming a group is definitely not to be underestimated.

The power of the lord's group gradually began to emerge.

That's why Zong Shen's strength is already so strong, and he has to be careful not to be coveted by other lords, especially the mines, which makes him worry about it.

If the mine was exposed, Zong Shen would be in a lot of trouble if he encountered a group of lords attacking him.

After all, the mine does not have hundreds of defensive arrow towers like the territory, and there are even incomplete wonders sitting there.

Zongshen's territory has formed a preliminary defense system.

From defensive arrow towers of various levels to sentry towers with anti-stealth capabilities, and magic patrol dogs.

Then to the [Red Gold Barrier Pillar (Golden)] that can support a large-scale shield and the [Thunderfield Wonder (Incomplete)] that can kill in a large area, such a multi-in-one comprehensive defensive formation.

In order to build the defensive buildings of the territory, he also spent a lot of effort.

So he was not worried about the lords attacking the territory in groups.

Not to mention the lords, even if the aborigines want to attack his territory, they have to weigh it carefully.

He could not devote equal attention to the defense of the mine.

In line with the principle that blocking is worse than sparse, it is the best result to be able to hide the mine well.

At least a few months have to be delayed so that he can develop.

Among them, Zong Shen is most worried about the lord's grouping.

Today, [Legion] forces in the region have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Except for a few large legions including the [Guide Legion], most of the legions are very small.

Just a few people or even a dozen people.

Apart from the big crisis that must be faced together, the only things that can prompt the lords to form a group spontaneously are some huge benefits.

Once the mines in the area are exposed, it is obviously a very attractive factor.

Now Zongshen's mine is not exposed, but the poisonous marsh in the south made the lords gather together first.

These two hundred lords plus 1,700 or 800 warriors also number around 2,000 people.

But in the end it was just a loose cooperation, lacking a commander and a backbone.

It is impossible to coordinate all kinds of fighters of all ranks to form fighter squads or even squadrons.

All lords basically have their own soldiers.

There are also some small groups mixed in.

Basically, there are three or five people.

These people have known each other before.

The recent large-scale challenge activities have not only mobilized the enthusiasm of the lords.

It also facilitates social activities among lords.

Most of the lords have known some "friends" more or less.

Such a "friend" relationship is not necessarily strong, but it is enough to maintain a shallow social relationship.

The cliques in today's ranks have grown out of such shallow relationships.

The largest small group here consists of sixteen or seventeen lords.

The leader was a middle-aged yellow-race lord with a beard.

It seems that they should be in their thirties, and they can be said to be the first batch of lords who came to the standard.

He has a high prestige in the small group.

The dozen or so lords around him were almost all around him.

There are blacks and whites.

In the Endless Continent, different skin colors, different hair colors, and different ethnic characteristics become no longer important.

This is especially the case when all lords have mastered the common language of the continent by default.

After the shackles of language are broken, lords can communicate without barriers.

Of course, in addition to language, there are also differences in living habits and cultural traditions, which can only be resolved by time.

At this moment, the group of people spread across a width of two hundred meters and headed towards the poisonous mist swamp.

In addition to the messy trampling sound, there are all kinds of whispers.

Everyone is discussing in private.

In this small group, a young thick-lipped black lord was the first to be unable to hold back, and walked to the side of the bearded lord. His hair was naturally curly, and he was holding a large machete with a length of 1.2 meters in his hand.

"Zhang, do you think there are really treasures in the swamp?"

"It's not the caller who is lying to us, is it?"

"I spent a lot of resources to buy anti-poison potions."

"If there are no treasures in the Poison Swamp, those little Balrogs alone won't be enough for us."

"All of us are here for you."

The black lord asked in a low voice worried.

The bearded lord grinned and boldly put his arms around the shoulders of the black lord.

"Don't worry, Mu Tuotuo, our old Zhang is not a liar."

"I've been observing the Poison Mist Swamp for a long time."

"A few days ago, I also ventured deep. Apart from the swamp, there are ruins here."

"But there are also very powerful monsters inside."

The bearded lord whispered in his ear.

"A very powerful monster?"

"Are those big crocodiles?"

Curiosity was aroused, and the black lord hurriedly asked.

The bearded lord who called himself Lao Zhang shook his head, his expression became a little more serious, and he shook his head gently.

"No, the lower body of those monsters is like a lizard, and the upper body is like a human."

"We should meet soon."

"We stay in the middle of the line, don't run around, and don't rush to the front."

Old Zhang warned in a low voice.

The black lord seemed to be very convinced of Lao Zhang and nodded quickly.

After finishing speaking, Lao Zhang stopped talking, took out a spear with his backhand, and followed the large army.

The front end of the 200-meter row formed by the entire team quickly entered the poisonous swamp.

They are like a small speck, gradually being swallowed by the light green poisonous mist.

Disappeared from the sight of the lord outside.

After entering the poisonous swamp area, the scenery in front of them became different again, and the visibility was higher than they imagined.

This shows that the poisonous fog covering the entire swamp is mainly to deceive people.

Block out prying eyes from outside.

The swamp is muddy, the ground is wet, and the soil is dark, exuding a sour smell.

Everyone dared not breathe freely, although the poisonous fog no longer affected the internal vision.

But it's still everywhere.

Because they can feel the tingling in their throat with every breath.

There was even a slight sense of dizziness.

In order to save money, most of the lords bought Tier 3 anti-poison potions.

According to some "dog bold" lords who have entered the periphery of the swamp, the poisonous fog in it is exactly the third level.

But in fact, the third-level anti-drugs still can't suppress the toxicity.

But everyone has already come in, so naturally there is no reason to leave so easily.

So everyone took the initiative to reduce the breathing rate, which can reduce the negative impact of the poisonous fog on the body. Let alone more than 2,000 people, even more than 2,000 cows and horses breathing at the same time can stir up the airflow. At this time, The light green mist above is slowly surging.

There was silence in the Poison Swamp, only the sound of gurgling clear and shallow water could be heard.

Some lords sent their wolfriders and night huntresses as scouts.

In the swampy terrain, both coyotes and panthers are more flexible than ordinary horses.

The large army was moving slowly, and everyone looked around with vigilant eyes.

The ground is muddy and difficult to walk on, and if you stay for a while, your legs will slowly sink.

Soon, they saw the ruins of the ruins rumored by the outside world.

— Rows of jagged ruins stand on the ground.

A thick layer of dirt has long been attached to the surface, with dark green moss growing.

After seeing the ruins, everyone was overjoyed, as if they saw the hope of treasure hunting.

Every once in a while, the lords can find a small Balrog in the swamp.

The large troops went five or six hundred meters deep into the swamp like this.

It wasn't until the wolf cavalry and huntress scouts sent in advance were attacked, and the lords who sent the scouts saw the corresponding prompts and informed everyone that something was wrong!

It's a pity that such a huge team does not have a unified commander.

The situation of fighting each other is almost a foregone conclusion.

Even the delivery of news of the attack was incomparably chaotic.

The lords in the front row who were the first to hear the news stepped back.

The lords in the middle couldn't advance or retreat.

The lord on the last side didn't know what happened.

Some people shouted, some sent private chats, and some directly sent them to [regional channels].

By the time the lord in the back row reacted, the front had already encountered an attack.

The fog in front of them became extremely dense, like a wall of fog quickly pressing towards everyone.

No one knows what is hidden behind the fog wall.

"Shhhhhh!"

Soon the fog wall approached within a hundred meters.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, hundreds of crossbow bolts shot out from the fog wall.

Followed by dozens of blood-red magic bullets.

These attacks are uniform, obviously well prepared.

The thick mist was opened up by the trajectory of the airflow.

From these gaps, figures covered with red scales emerged one by one...

These long-range attacks quickly hit the front row.

The large troops lined up 200 meters long are like a square living target.

"Puff puff!"

"Boom!"

"boom!"

"Ugh!"

The crisp sound of the crossbow piercing through the battle armor, the muffled sound of entering the flesh, and the roar of the magic bomb exploding resounded in the front row.

Accompanied by these voices, there were screams and cries of pain.

Man's greatest fear is the unknown.

The light green wall of poisonous fog obstructed their vision, making it impossible for them to judge who the enemy was and how many there were!

Sparse long-range counterattacks began to appear in the large army.

Or arrows or magic.

It's a pity that these long-range attacks are difficult to achieve because of the lack of unified command.

Most of the lords could barely keep their composure.

After all, it has been nearly a month since they came here, and the previous challenges and many battles have given them some courage to face the crisis.

However, there are still a small number of timid lords who try to retreat and prepare to escape.

Holding a group can allow the lords to realize the upgrade of combat power.

However, in the absence of command and combat discipline, it is extremely easy to be defeated.

Especially when there are escapees in the team.

These escapees will make the team chaotic, and the fighting spirit that is hard to gather will quickly disappear.

Just as the team gradually became chaotic, something happened in the rear.

Those pale green hazes are like mysterious ghosts.

I don't know when it started, but a thick wall of poisonous mist also appeared in the rear!

Along with the wall of poisonous mist came spears representing death.

There was another flurry of chickens and dogs jumping behind the team!

All the lords know, they are surrounded!

Due to the obstruction of vision by the fog wall, they cannot quickly observe the traces and numbers of enemies.

But after the retreat disappeared, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused instead.

There are enemies forward, and there are enemies backward!

There is no way forward or backward, only to fight to the death.

So the lords spontaneously divided into two groups, and attacked the front and rear fog walls respectively.

All kinds of crossbowmen and Faye took the lead in showing their power.

Arrows, crossbow bolts, and magic bullets shot out, and the momentum was greater than the attack inside the fog wall.

This is the truth of the so-called punching the master to death.

The number advantage is here. When everyone starts to give it a go, the combined attack intensity is also terrifying.

However, the fog wall has been advancing.

When everyone launched an effective counterattack, the front and rear fog walls were within 30 meters.

At this time, some third-tier mages began to show their power.

The third-order group attack magic was cast out one after another.

Immediately, visions abounded in the poisonous mist swamp.

A red magic circle appeared in the sky, and the fire and rain magic washed the earth.

Dozens of cyan arc-shaped wind blades swept out.

The ground trembled, and the ground either swelled or sank.

The vines grew wildly, like tentacles inserted into the fog wall.

The muddy water waves turned into waves and washed away!

These are the masterpieces of the masters of various schools.

In this environment, the effect of fire magic is the most outstanding.

Whether it is a fireball, fire rain or a fire tornado, they can all evaporate the poisonous mist.

These fire magic scrapers can easily cut off a piece of the fog wall.

A large area of ​​damage values ​​popped up densely.

After the baptism of magic, the melee soldiers, wolf cavalry, and huntresses launched an assault.

At the same time, the red-scaled kobold warriors in the fog wall also charged with bone shields or vine shields.

"Chi Chi Chi!"

These red-scaled kobolds snarled and moved quickly.

One or two arrows were stuck on the simple homemade shields in their hands, and there were cracks left by the magic bombs. Many kobold warriors had one or two arrows stuck on their bodies.

However, the red scales on their bodies are very tough, and the arrows do not penetrate deeply, basically not affecting their actions.

These red-scale kobold warriors are taller and stronger than typical crypt kobolds.

They have tall horns and a spiked tail behind them.

Although called kobolds, they are not like dogs.

On the contrary, it has the fierce power of a dragon creature.

More than 300 red-scaled kobold warriors in front charged directly.

In the mist behind them, the red-scaled dog-headed crossbowmen and red-scaled kobold prophets will lie on the ground one after another, counterattacking quickly while reducing the number of hits.

There is a huge disparity in the number of enemies and enemies, and the competition for long-range forces becomes extremely important.

Under such circumstances, those red-scaled kobold fighters were all prepared to die.

For every minute they gain for the rear, the disadvantage will be reduced by one point.

When the red-scaled kobold warriors charged, the hyena warriors in the rear also charged.

These guys are like big lizards, crawling extremely fast.

The war spears projected just now are also their masterpieces.

Now they are still holding a battle spear in their hands, and they are pointing forward with both hands.

Coupled with the fast crawling lower limbs, even the mud can't stop them from moving.

Just like that, he rushed towards the lords behind with his spear in his hand.

Behind these hyenamen, there were one or two hundred swamp crocodiles crawling closely behind them.

A fierce battle begins!

The movement in the swamp also attracted the attention of the lords who were watching outside.

Even standing hundreds of meters away from the poisonous mist swamp, one could hear shouts and screams coming from it.

And the sound of explosions that can set off air waves.

The light green poisonous mist that shrouded the outside surged violently

The news of the attack was learned from the [Regional Channel] outside.

There was a lot of discussion for a while.

But no one dared to go deep into it.

Under the unspoken rules above profit, everyone is based on the principle of "you fight, I will eat meat".

Only people with a strong brain will go in and get a leg when the fight is in full swing.

If this is unlucky, I'm afraid it will be cold as soon as you enter.

It was at this time that Jiang Yi rushed to the outskirts of the Poison Marsh with a small team of soldiers.

She asked other teams to kill the little Balrog, and specially left a team to keep an eye on her.

The movement in the poisonous mist swamp made her a little worried.

Except for Zong Shen, no one knew the internal situation better than her.

But there's not much she can do, apart from turning on the [Regional Channel] to see the news from the lord in the Poison Swamp, she just stays outside and waits and sees.

The fight lasted longer than she thought.

More than half an hour passed quickly, and the momentum from it became weaker, and it was obviously getting farther and farther away.

This shows that the lords gradually penetrated into the interior~lightnovelpub.net~ During the period, dozens of scheming lords who had prepared anti-poison potions but did not form a group entered the poisonous mist swamp, but never came out again.

Jiang Yi pinched the communication crystal nervously.

Prepare to wait until those lords advance to the depths of the swamp, or when the momentum of the battle disappears, and then report to Zong Shen.

The battle lasted for another half an hour, and dozens of lords retreated one after another with the remnants of their defeated generals.

As soon as these lords left the range of the poisonous fog, they were immediately surrounded by the lords who were watching.

Some lords watching outside wanted to take advantage of them and rob them.

But more lords are more concerned about the battle situation inside the Poison Mist Swamp.

They even took the initiative to provide these lords who left the Poison Swamp with potions that could restore their status!
