"Gargoyles are immune to most witchcraft and are highly resistant to physical attacks, but..."
"Double the damage from blunt weapons!"
This information appeared in Ma Wen's mind.
This was the only way to counter ordinary gargoyles. In the entire army of River Beach City, only the knights of the Silver Church would carry a holy hammer as one of their standard weapons like Guderian!
The rest of the knights were equipped with long spears on horseback and two-handed greatswords when dismounted.
Only the guardian knights of the Silver Church would carry a holy hammer on top of their two-handed greatswords.
As a blunt weapon, the holy hammer dealt considerable damage to the gargoyles. In addition, these guardian knights were not weak to begin with. With their teamwork, the first round of attack from the gargoyles was completely annihilated!
All the Gargoyles were directly smashed by the hammers until they were slanted and finally fell to the ground.
Once their stone wings were broken, these agile monsters could no longer cause any more damage to the soldiers.
The guards of River Beach City immediately swarmed forward and slashed them to pieces with their swords.
The few guardian knights who failed would also be helped by wizards who used simple spells to restrain the gargoyles.
These wizards all knew some force field spells that could change the way the gargoyles flew, which was a great help to the knights.
The combination of wizards, shield defenders, and guardian knights with blunt weapons was the bane of the gargoyles!
Ma Wen already knew that the gargoyles would not be able to attack all at once. This way, they would lose the flexibility to fight.
In order to coordinate with each other, they would maintain a distance from each other and form a continuous wave of attacks.
This was their instinct.
If they had followed Madeline's strategy, the death toll would have soared.
However, under Ma Wen's command, the result was completely different.
After the first round of air attacks, except for a few unlucky ones who suffered minor injuries, the rest were all safe.
The dozens of gargoyles were all smashed to the ground and turned into powder and debris.
This kind of battle result could be said to be brilliant.
What was more worth mentioning was that Ma Wen's strategy saved a lot of wizard spell slots!
Magus spells were not limitless, and gargoyles were not the only monsters behind the Scarlet Monastery.
"The Silver Church's Holy Hammer can restrain gargoyles?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, thinking that it was the effect of the divine power attached to it. Only a few people were wondering why Ma Wen had ordered them to use hammers and not two-handed swords.
…
"Get ready! The second round is coming! "
Ma Wen shouted.
Right now, Madeline had already temporarily handed the authority of command over to him, so he had to make sure that every detail was taken care of.
He couldn't let his guard down just because he had won the first round.
Details determine success or failure.
All the knights perked up. He gripped the hammer in his hand tightly!
The Gargoyles didn't know what was good for them. It was as if they didn't see the tragic deaths of their comrades and continued to charge forward.
This wave was obviously much more numerous than the first wave!
The knights of the Church of Silver attacked one after another. Their holy hammers accurately struck the Gargoyles down.
On the other side, the members of the Blood Clan who had been lying low for a long time also began their mission under Ma Wen's command.
What they needed to do was to coordinate and restrain the enemy.
With their advantage in speed and low altitude flight, they could restrain the extra Gargoyles.
This was very easy for the Blood Clan. They had signed an agreement with Madeline, and now that the commander was Ma Wen, he naturally wouldn't let these strong people rest.
One by one, the Blood Clan started to fly at low altitude.
The cloaked man, Gewen, flew directly from the head of a Gargoyle, grabbed its wing, and then completed a shocking move in the air!
He actually used his own strength to grab the Gargoyle's wing and threw it to the ground!
Hualala!
Another floor of debris.
Brittleness and fragility were the biggest weaknesses of ordinary Gargoyles. However, someone like Gavin, who was able to throw a Gargoyle to death, was definitely an outstanding figure among the Blood Race.
…
"What great strength!"
Ma Wen instructed everyone to do every detail while noticing Gewen's eye-catching performance.
This guy had been very low-key before, and now he was finally starting to show his strength.
The Tier 3 Vampire Count looked about the same as Kanos, but it was clear that he was much stronger than Kanos.
Ma Wen thought to himself that if he didn't have the Demon Warlock job, he might not be Gewen's match with just the abilities of a Nightwalker and a Ranger!
Super speed and strength. This was like when Ma Wen met the Black Butcher, Black Jack.
However, the suppression was probably not that strong.
Of course, once he transformed into his shadow form or beast form, the situation would be different.
The Demon Warlock job made Ma Wen's combat power fluctuate greatly. After that night's fight with the Red Patriarch, he still couldn't use his beast form. Ma Wen didn't know when he could activate it again.
…
What happened next was just as Ma Wen expected. The extra Gargoyles were lured away by the Blood Clan, and the Guardian Knights dealt with them easily.
The Gargoyles swooped down without a care for their lives, swinging their hammers and smashing them.
Every hit was accurate.
The Paladins of the Silver Church all turned into stonemasons, smashing the Gargoyles that had been eroded by the evil power back into stone.
Fifteen minutes later.
The entire Hall One was covered in dust, and everyone was coughing non-stop.
However, everyone's eyes were filled with joy.
"It's that easy?"
"Are these Gargoyles fools? Are they just going to walk right into the trap? "
A Guardian Knight rubbed his sore shoulder and couldn't help but say in surprise, "I've already smashed four to death."
"Hey, I got five." His companion beside him laughed proudly, "You lost to me. Again. "
However, no matter what, the way everyone looked at Marvin had changed.
In just a few minutes, from being ambushed by the Gargoyles to being suppressed, and finally …
The Gargoyle army was completely annihilated!
All of this was because of the unprecedented tactic that Ma Wen had proposed.
Even the most knowledgeable Magi couldn't find the Gargoyles' weakness. The smarter ones would use field spells to bind them and then let their followers kill them.
No one knew that blunt weapons were the Gargoyles' natural enemy. And Ma Wen knew a lot of such obscure but practical knowledge by heart.
This was his greatest advantage.
…
"A very novel tactic," Madeline's face was cold as she examined Ma Wen from head to toe, "Did your grandfather give you inspiration again?"
"As expected of the City Lord. I haven't even said anything, and you've already learned to draw inferences."
Ma Wen said with a smile.
"Hmph! What a mysterious fellow, let's go! "Madeline ordered, ordering everyone to continue forward.
Who knew that at this moment, Ma Wen suddenly said:
"Wait!"
Madeline frowned and said, "What else do you want?"
Ma Wen coughed and said, "Apologies, City Lord."
"But can I trouble you to stand to the side? The Gargoyles aren't the only monsters in the Second Hall. This battle isn't over yet. "
"I'm the supreme commander, so please step aside. Thank you, thank you very much for your cooperation."
…
Under Madeline's ashen face, Ma Wen began to regroup and arrange everyone.
After eliminating over a hundred Gargoyles in one go, only a few people suffered superficial wounds. This was already a miracle.
Everyone's morale was high.
And the eyes that looked at Ma Wen were filled with admiration.
This was a world that respected the strong and the wise. The former was very simple, the fist decided everything; the latter was even simpler, the wisdom was sometimes more useful than the fist.
Ma Wen's killing of the Corpse King alone had already displayed his fist; the arrangement of tactics was even more so a reflection of his wisdom.
With the two-pronged approach, no one was dissatisfied with Ma Wen being the temporary commander anymore.
Even if they did, they wouldn't be stupid enough to show it. These guys were all smart people.
Didn't they see Madeline, who had her power seized, following behind Ma Wen like a bullied little wife?
The City Lord didn't say anything, so they shouldn't be stupid enough to come up and be slapped in the face.
…
"The Gargoyles won't take the initiative to attack us. The only thing that can incite them is the Deep Sea Banshee in the second hall."
"Deep Sea Banshee, everyone should have some understanding. Everyone has seen their pictures and some information. These monsters like to use their low flying ability and sharp claws to shuttle through the crowd, then take our lives. "
"I have a targeted strategy. As long as everyone resolutely carries out our strategy, victory will be at our fingertips. "
As Ma Wen spoke, he took out sturdy fishing nets from the bracelet on his right hand!
His storage equipment had long been insufficient, so he took the time to go to the Ranger Guild to buy two more.
This bracelet was one of them, and its internal space was much larger than the Void Conch.
"Shield Guardians, step forward. Every four people take a fishing net. The garrison knights also need to take the lead. "Ma Wen ordered.
"I need you to form this formation …" He began to gesture.
"All Shield Guardians walk at the front, and the patrol team will be inside. Pay attention to protect your vitals."
"Once the Deep Sea Banshees launch a surprise attack, the Shield Guardians don't need to defend. They won't be able to tear your armor. You just need to erect the fishing net. "
"These Banshees will be hung on it and won't be able to break free."
"Next, it's time for the garrison to harvest. Remember, you must cut off the Banshee's head. "
"That's their only vitals."
…
Thirty minutes later.
In the second hall, the air that was originally filled with water elements was now filled with the smell of blood.
A large pile of headless corpses of the Deep Sea Banshees was piled up.
The atmosphere became a little fanatical!
Everyone looked at Ma Wen with eyes that were no longer filled with admiration, but worship!
Ma Wen's second strategy was also extremely effective.
They effortlessly killed more than thirty Deep Sea Banshees!
Almost no casualties.
Ma Wen did what he said.
When it was time to distribute the spoils of war, Medeline didn't say anything and gestured for Ma Wen to pick first.
Ma Wen directly picked the best thing. It was a treasure chest with a magic lock.
It was also the only treasure chest with a magic lock in the entire second hall.
He knew that there was a scroll in the chest.
That scroll was called [Magical Scroll], and its effect … was naturally incomparably magical.
