The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 757 The Final Battle
Relying on greater numbers, they finally killed the golden dragons, but they also lost hundreds of fear knights, and their casualty rate was even higher than that of the golden dragons.
In the end, all these hundreds of golden dragons turned into ashes, leaving not even a corpse for Sandro.
The Sandro people were so angry, but the situation on the battlefield was getting worse and worse.
Taking advantage of the time when the corpse wizards were unable to fight back, a large number of elven archers fired arrows, launching various arrow rains and multiple arrows.
In just half an hour, a large number of skills were unleashed from the archers around the entire Elf King's Court, taking away at least 100,000 corpse wizards.
After completely dealing with this batch of golden dragons, Sandro didn't have many cards left on the table.
Compared to the spells of humans and elves, the undead spells that the undead are best at are mostly based on curses and damage.
Whether it is a curse or damage, it needs to hit the enemy to be effective.
But under the protection of the Dragon King's divine power, even beneficial blessings and healing spells are ineffective, not to mention curses and injuries.
Now the few spells that Sandro can cast include necromancy and spirit gathering, that is, recruiting the undead and healing.
The former requires a corpse, and the latter doesn't have much meaning. The corpse wizard is originally used as cannon fodder, so it doesn't hurt to lose him.
On the other hand, although the helpful spells that priests are good at are also ineffective, humans and elves still have many other spells.
During this half hour, the human priest cast countless purification spells and killed at least tens of thousands of zombies.
The elven wizard did not use lethal spells, but instead turned to summoning spells, which the undead are more proficient in.
It is undoubtedly a very stupid thing to use one's own flesh and blood to compete with the undead in consumption.
The key is that after their own soldiers die in battle, their bodies will be used by the undead.
But if the mana is converted into summoned creatures, such as earth elementals and stone elementals which are as heavy as tree spirits.
Summon these elemental creatures and push them to the front row. Even if they are constantly killed by the corpse wizards, all they will lose is a little mana.
With the blessing of the World Tree, a variety of treasures that restore mana, and a large number of mages, consuming mana is undoubtedly much more cost-effective than consuming life.
Xu Lai was not in a hurry to cast spells. Whether it was prayer or Judgment Day, it was not the time to make up his mind.
Xu Lai and his troops were relatively far back, and even though the Doomsday Judgment had a wider coverage area, it was still difficult to cover the entire Undead Legion.
Sandro has not deployed his main force because he is afraid of the Last Judgment.
Xu Lai has been holding on to this card, which has allowed him to continue threatening Sandro.
Otherwise, once he released the spell, Sandro would be able to see his location. When he could not leave his post, Sandro's bone dragon army could completely avoid Xu Lai's spell range.
Coupled with the Doomsday Judgment, it would be difficult to kill high-level undead in one go.
Considering the scale of today's battle, it would be good enough if a strategic spell could be cast once an hour.
Sandro waved his hand, and a large number of undead continued to rush towards the Elf King's Court from all directions.
But this time, there are no longer just corpse wizards, but a large number of low- and middle-level mixed troops.
Skeleton soldiers, zombies, ghosts, vampires, corpse wizards, black warriors, and any kind of undead below the high level may appear on the battlefield.
Of course, these low- and middle-level undead cannot achieve any decent results.
With the help of Reina's defensive expertise, the nearly ten thousand elemental creatures summoned held out for a while.
The attacks of undead creatures, whether they are toxins or bloodsucking, have no effect on these elemental creatures.
Only the corpse wizard's deathly attacks can hold up the situation.
Otherwise, a bunch of undead would be trying to gnaw on stone elements but couldn't do anything about it, which would be really unreasonable.
In order to destroy these elemental creatures that were constantly summoned, the undead paid a huge price.
During this period, under Reina's command, most of the recruited archers replaced the rangers and elven archers in the attack.
Although these recruited shooters have no skills, their ammunition can be automatically replenished every day, and the quantity is several times that of elven shooters and rangers.
They used their huge numerical advantage to replace the rangers' various arrow skills that required extra consumption of physical strength and mana to release, and the damage was no less than before.
Moreover, since those who died were all elemental creatures, they were all summoned, so it was not an actual loss.
In contrast, our own gains were ten or even a hundred times greater.
With such a large casualty ratio and almost no casualties on our side, morale naturally improved very quickly.
Thanks to Xu Lai, the elves' ranger troops finally managed to hold on a little, but the largest number of recruited archers have not been improved much.
Take this opportunity to boost the morale of those recruiting shooters.
In this way, even if the morale of Pegasus Knights, Unicorns, and Dwarves is still not high, the average morale is still 70+.
Intermittently, the elven wizards continued to summon for the front line until most of their mana was consumed, and about 3 stone elements were deployed to the battlefield.
And these 3 stone elements and more than 7 earth elements can be exchanged for at least 80 to low- and middle-level undead, or even more than one million.
Incorporeal creatures like ghosts and spirits can be stacked together infinitely, and their number is impossible to estimate.
Skeleton soldiers take up very little space. Not to mention human warriors, even elf warriors can take up as much space as two or three skeleton soldiers.
And the undead keep dying and being replenished.
The necromancers had nothing else to do now, so they threw one soul-gathering spell after another onto the battlefield.
The crushed skeletons, under the power of magic, continued to reassemble themselves and stand up again, as if endlessly.
In the past, the elven cities fell one after another under the endless attacks of the undead.
After another two hours of fighting, although the elves had slaughtered millions of undead, the ammunition of the recruited archers had reached its limit.
Although their ammunition can be replenished every day, it still takes at least 6 hours to recover even if they rest in the high-end houses of the Elf King's Court.
Of course, they can also be replenished by replenishing additional ammunition.
Only ammunition can be replenished, but the consumed physical strength cannot be replenished.
It was Lena who gave the order, instructing generals and captains at all levels to control the output of recruited shooters.
If you have aiming skills, try to use them. If you don't have any, you should still shoot an arrow and take a rest.
If these recruited archers are not controlled, even if each of them has 3 quivers, high-level archers will have a lot of arrows in each quiver.
With the help of logistics, archery and generals, a rank 6 or 7 archer will have at least 150 arrows.
If this were placed in the environment of Earth, just shooting all these arrows would cripple one's arms. In this world, even if the physique of the elf archer is not as good as that of humans, they would not be able to shoot these arrows for more than half an hour.
Order the recruited shooters to go into the tree house to rest, and then rotate the rangers who have rested and replenished their ammunition to come up.
There are only a few creatures left to recruit, so we can only push out dwarves and tree people.
The mage still has mana, but it cannot be all used up, otherwise he will not be able to deal with some emergencies, such as a bone dragon riding on his face.
The most crucial thing is that due to the switching of defenses between the tree men, dwarves and elemental creatures, the elves' defensive area is constantly being compressed.
The speed of the undead's advance was indeed not fast, but the elves initially deployed their defenses several thousand meters outside the royal court.
Now, after most of the day's fighting, the battle line has been compressed by at least three or four hundred meters in the direction of the Elf King's Court.
This loss means a loss of nearly one-third of the strategic depth. If they retreat another seven or eight hundred meters, the undead will be able to directly touch the body of the World Tree.
The only good news is that the number of undead is not as dense as before.
The number of Undead Mages is much smaller than that of Elven Mages, and once their positions are exposed, they will suffer ultra-long-range attacks from the Royal Court.
In order to save ammunition, the elven catapults in the royal court have rarely been used.
But as long as the elven rangers detect the location of the necromancers, they will inevitably attract at least a few magical ammunition.
Under the special care of the catapults, even if there were still necromancers and undead heroes alive, they did not dare to approach the front line.
Not to mention, they also have to go to the front lines to heal and resurrect the undead warriors.
Without the support of the Necromancer, the undead were not infinite after all. After half a day, they finally saw a sign of decline.
However, Sandro remained indifferent. The undead meat grinders he had accumulated for a month were still stored in the back, unmoved.
The elves' catapults were not launched on a large scale, and their positions were exposed, so no one knew how many catapults there were.
Although Sandro had been accumulating the money for a month, compared with the elves' nest that had been run for who knows how many years, this meat grinder was not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Sandro knew very well that his meat grinder was only enough to fight one wave.
In this wave, you need to clear out the elves' catapults as much as possible to buy time for the main force to attack the city.
The sparse undead troops did not affect the elves' efficiency in killing enemies.
On the one hand, the undead troops are closer, and some high-level rangers don’t even need to go forward, they can hit the undead just in the Elf King’s Court.
On the other hand, the archery skills of these rangers are already above those of the archers they recruit. As long as they don't use skills like rain of arrows, there is no need to worry about the hit rate.
But the shooters in the rear can take turns to rest, replenish ammunition and restore their strength.
The soldiers in the front row couldn't even take turns.
Their position at this point could not be lost. Every time a tree elf or dwarf died in battle, they would lose a piece of land.
The soldiers in the front row can almost be said to have no choice but to fight to the death.
Fortunately, the tree people and tree spirits have taken root in the ground and can quickly recover their life and strength under the protection of the world tree.
The dwarves couldn't do that. They were wearing heavy armor, and even if they just stood there and did nothing, it was a huge drain on their physical strength.
But we can't do without these dwarves. Dwarves are born with the ability to resist magic. The higher the level of the combat dwarf, the stronger the ability to resist magic.
The death energy of the corpse wizard is not a spell, but it causes spell damage, which can be offset by anti-magic abilities.
The battle situation only became a stalemate because of the dwarves' help in the dryad's resistance against the death ray.
Otherwise, by now, more than 3 meters of land would have been lost.
But by evening, no matter how strong the dwarf was, he could not hold on any longer.
Their physical strength was almost exhausted, and even standing was a luxury, let alone maintaining a defensive posture.
As night was approaching, the attacks of the undead became intensive again from the sparse ones in the afternoon.
Obviously, the undead will not let the elves spend this first night easily.
During the entire day's battle, the undead died over and over again, and countless skeletons crawled up again after dying in battle.
The archdruid and the priests have used up all their magic power in order to destroy the ghosts and vampires that kept pouring in.
Thanks to the Phantom Archers who joined the battlefield in time, they avoided being attacked by these flying undead and breaking into the Holy Land of the King's Court.
However, because of this, the Phantom Shooter had very little physical strength left, and he could not fight for more than a few hours in the long night.
The elves' defense line remained relatively stable throughout the afternoon.
In the evening, the undead suddenly exerted their strength, and many big corpse wizards were trapped in the group of corpse wizards, causing the elves' defense line to retreat 7 to 80 meters.
The defense line retreated to within 500 meters, and immediately an elven elder lost his patience and demanded the use of the elves' moon blade crossbows and catapults.
Reina rejected the request without a second thought. The elves were not good at night battles, and using these powerful weapons at night would at least waste more than half of the output.
In addition to several sacred tree cities, the elves only have some supply capabilities in some cities occupied by Xu Laixin.
However, it is hard to say whether these weak supply capabilities can be delivered to the royal court, and they cannot be relied upon at all.
The only relatively stable source of supplies is Xu Lai’s warehouse ring.
For Lena, of course she doesn't want the Elf King's Court to fall and the World Tree to be obtained by Sandro.
But she also didn't want all of Xu Lai and the Eagle Kingdom's resources to be consumed because of the elves' affairs.
Reina knew very well that although the Eagle Kingdom now had the largest territory, it was still far from peaceful.
She and the elf already owe Xu Lai too much, and she must rely on the elf's own abilities to try her best to solve the problem.
Fortunately, at this distance, although the catapults and crossbows have not been used yet, they have already reached the cover range of the ancient guardian.
These behemoths, capable of throwing boulders at will, can easily cause widespread damage.
Moreover, under the protection of the World Tree, the ancient guardians' physical strength is not close to infinite, but they can easily throw stones for several weeks.
And these stones can explode after hitting the target.
In addition to causing high physical damage to the primary target of the attack, it can also cause a large amount of splash damage to other targets near the primary target.
The splash damage may not be as high as being directly hit, but it is deadly enough for low- and mid-level undead with low health points. (End of this chapter)
