Following Tazius's shout, the Vine Monster army immediately landed in the middle of the Dryad forest.
Dafei was shocked. There were so many Dryads down there, and they just landed like that? Why didn't they find an empty space? But there was no empty space here, so it seemed like they could only land from above. But with my attribute bonuses, these Vine Monsters' HP and Defense were both over 100. Plus, they could heal, so they should be able to hold on!
The moment the Vine Monster army landed, the Flower Monster Leader Tazius's body flashed with a green light. With her as the center, a huge green magic circle covered a large area of the forest!
— System Notification: Army Commander Tazius has cast the large-scale Secret Spell "Great Thorn Forest"! All enemies within a 50-meter radius will be bound by the Thorn Forest. Damage, Silence, Life Steal, and Mana Steal effects will last for 30 seconds!
Rumble! Dust flew up from the ground, and countless thick thorns broke through the ground. In an instant, all the Evil Dryads around the landing point were bound!
Dafei was so shocked that his eyelids twitched! What a spectacular spell! This was absolute control! This Vine Monster Hero was really something! But what did this Secret Spell mean? Was it a hidden spell that was not part of the four known major spells of Light, Darkness, Destruction, and Summoning?
"Fire!" Following Tazius's shout, the Vine Monsters immediately started firing magic bullets at the bound Dryads around them. The whole forest was filled with bullets. Countless "Tearing Strike," "Crushing Strike," "Dragon Slaying Strike," and "4, 6, 5" damage numbers jumped all over Dafei's screen!
Dafei was shocked again! The scene was beautiful, but the damage numbers were really ugly!
— System Notification: You have obtained incomplete information on the Evil Dryad through your Intelligence Gathering skill!
There was a message! Dafei hurriedly checked it!
— Evil Dryad: Large Elite Spiritual Creature, Attack? 65 Defense, Damage? Special Skill: Advanced Defense,???
Impossible! How could a mere 65 Defense and an Advanced Defensive Skill reduce so much damage? That's 130 Attack after I buffed them. Right now, I'm using Pro Level Attack to offset their Defense. That's close to 60 points of Attack and Defense. A 1 point increase of 5% can increase the average damage of 20 Vine Monsters by 300%, which is 80 points! How could he get a 5 or 6?
At this moment, the black tree in front of them that was like a fortress spoke, "Little things, do you think you can win?"
Tazius shouted, "Evil Branch, your end is here!"
The Ancient Tree was annoyed. "I have a name. I am the great Elite Tree, Regulus. If you think you can win, then let me give you a warm reminder. Do you have enough ammunition?"
Tazius said angrily, "I have a name too. I am the great vine demon hero Tazius. We have brought all the ammunition we have. Prepare to die!"
The ancient tree snorted coldly. "Then I'd like to see what will happen to your tribe when all their ammunition is used up!"
Tagius shouted angrily, "Your death will be the day you die!"
Only then did Dafei realize that this ancient tree was also a hero! Are you kidding me! I'd rather believe that it's a demigod that fights alone than a hero with such a huge body size! No wonder my team's damage is so low! That means it's a hero with super high Defense. From the 75% damage reduction from the vine demons, there's at least a 60 Attack and Defense difference between us! That means its Strategic Defense is 200! This is a f * cking low-level city wall! Then how high is its personal Defense?
No wonder it asked them if they had enough ammunition. It's extremely confident in its HP! Even if a vine demon can carry 10 rounds of ammunition, that's too much? Shu? Lv Chu? Stripping off his clothes and running to the shore? Wo Dun Liushi? OSS？
Oh right, if I choose to join the evil branch tribe in this battle, what will the result be? Will I easily crush the vine demon tribe? It's probably not that easy. The vine demon tribe should have something special. At the very least, this mobile flying unit will definitely beat the players into idiots.
In short, the players' participation in this battle should not be as simple as just being bystanders. There must be a decisive factor that only the players can resolve. I'll just wait and see!
One after another, the Elite Evil Tree Spirits fell under the intense firepower. Even though the vine demons' damage was reduced by 75%, the 30 seconds in the thorny forest was enough for the hundreds of vine demons to be wiped out by the frequent special attacks from Dafei's Artifact necklace, as well as Dafei's 13 points of Luck and 26% Critical Hit Rate.
Now, the vine demons started to attack the roots of the evil branch ancient tree that was soaking in the black lake. Countless "1" "1" damage numbers popped up. At the same time, all the fancy special attacks from Dafei's Artifact necklace disappeared!
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. 1 damage meant that the damage was reduced by 95%, which meant that the Attack and Defense difference between the army and the ancient tree hero was around 500. The special attacks did not appear anymore, which meant that the ancient tree was a building. A building was immune to all kinds of special attacks. This ancient tree was a real city wall!
What the heck! It's a living creature, a building, and a hero! What kind of expression should I use to face this ancient tree?
Wait! It's a building, right? Going too far is as bad as falling short. If this thing only had 500 + Defense, I'll definitely win. But if it's a city wall, then I have a special nemesis — the catapults that ignore the defense of buildings! Of course, I can't blame it. If it wasn't a building, it wouldn't have 500 + Defense, right?
Dafei took out the War Machine Space Bag that came with the Phantom Ballista from Makar. There was also a normal catapult and a medic tent inside. Fortunately, the catapult that had not been used for a long time was finally ready. Time to assemble.
War machines were also introduced in the previous chapter. This was a subject that involved three types of war machines, so it had the most sub-skills out of all the skills. There were all kinds of plague tents, flints, catapults, and so on. The number of sub-skills was dazzling. In the early and middle stages of the game, players were still at the stage of farming monsters and dungeons. Things like sieging a city was quite illusory, so no one learned the sub-skills related to catapults in the early stages. In the early stages, the ballista could basically deal with everything.
However, the weakness of the ballista was very obvious. For example, Dafei's Master-grade ballista could deal more than 1,000 damage, but the ballista's attack was not buffed by heroes. Even a Master-grade ballista could only deal 35 damage. In front of a city wall that had more than 500 + Defense, the damage was reduced by 95%, leaving only 50 damage! And according to the different materials used, the city wall had a certain degree of damage reduction against light weapons, which was not even 50 damage! That's right, a ballista was actually a large crossbow, and its attribute was a light weapon. And a city wall with 500 Defense had at least 100,000 Durability. How long would it take to rely on a ballista?
Catapults were different. They were a common machine. In the later stages of the war, basically every player would have one. They did not have high skill requirements for the players, and it had nothing to do with the players' attributes. This was because there was no damage formula for a catapult. Catapults dealt fixed damage that ignored the defense of buildings.
— — Catapult: Attack 0, Defense 10, Health 1,000, Damage 100150, Attack Speed 5, Movement Speed 1. Special Skill: Ignores the defense of buildings, uses the ammunition locally, Trajectory Deviation.
These were the basic attributes of a catapult without any skill bonuses. Every additional level of War Machine would increase 50,100 damage, 10 Defense, and 100 HP. At the same time, the accuracy would increase. Dafei's Master-grade catapult's damage was 400750. This was real damage, and with the bonus of Luck and Critical Hit, it was not reduced by the defense of buildings. Who knew how many times more than a ballista!
However, this did not mean that attacking a city would be easy. This was because the catapult had a deceptive special skill called "Trajectory Deviation" that had broken countless players' hearts! It did not mean that it would miss, but that it would miss where it hit!
The city wall was built in units of 10 meters. If a player's catapult attacked this section, sooner or later a gap would be blasted open. However, the problem was that the catapult would often shoot here and there, and would not be so obedient!
At the end of the day, this special skill was designed to balance the game, making it difficult to attack a city.
It was also because of this deceptive flaw that catapults rarely appeared on warships. Of course, it did appear before. It was when Dafei encountered the Ghost Fleet. Once he was hit, he would not be able to take it.
。。。。。
The battle continued. The Dryads that came as reinforcements slowly approached from all directions. However, under Tazius's powerful vine magic and the concentrated fire of the Vine Demons, they fell one after another. It was obvious that this was the enemy's tactic to exhaust their ammunition. However, this tactic was about to end!
— System Notification: You have completed assembling the Siege Catapult. You can use the ammunition locally or use the special ammunition that you brought. The special ammunition has additional damage.
Oh yeah! Thanks to Big Brother's "Take the Material from the Ground" technique!
— Bang! With a loud bang, the catapult threw out a large clump of black mud that whistled towards the ancient tree — Pa! “663！！！”
Oh yeah! It smashed into its face!
Dafei's shocking attack instantly caused the Vine Demons to scream. A golden eagle icon rose above their heads! Their morale soared!
Wahaha! That was the effect I wanted!
"Not bad! You have invited a good helper! "The ancient tree spoke," But, did you think I would just sit here and wait for death? "
After saying that, the ground began to rumble. Below the ancient tree, a dozen thick roots broke through the ground, and around these roots was a huge black hero halo!
Dafei's eyes narrowed in shock! What is this?
— Boom! The ground shook, and the dozen or so giant roots took a big step forward like spider legs! This step was like a huge mountain crushing down!
Dafei was so shocked that he wet his pants! Holy sh * t, it can actually move around? This one big step is equivalent to dozens of steps taken by a human? My catapult has nowhere to run, why would it still fight?
