Chapter 212: Encirclement and Suppression of Elemental Creatures
Both the murlocs and the elemental creatures in the elemental stronghold showed great hostility towards the sudden arrival of Mo Yu and others.
The rules of this world dictate that both the indigenous creatures and the stronghold creatures are natural opponents to the lord players.
However, there are some subtle differences in the attitudes of the murlocs and elemental creatures.
The elemental creatures were alert and cautious. They had roughly determined the identity of the opponent's lord from Mo Yu's team.
As for the fishmen, although they were alert, they were also a little relaxed.
Although these fishmen were not very smart, they recognized that the lord in front of them was the one who came to the lake and stole the treasure chest a few days ago.
There was some fighting between the two sides, which ended in the fishman's miserable defeat.
But now, the other party appeared here, he definitely didn't have any ideas about them, the fishmen, otherwise he would have come here long ago.
Then, it is more likely that the opponent's target is the elementals in the center of the lake.
In terms of hatred, the hatred of the murlocs towards the elementals is even greater than that of Mo Yu.
After all, although Mo Yu came and stole the treasure chest, he did not cause much trouble to the fishmen.
But these elementals are different. Their existence has posed a great threat to the survival of the fishmen.
If Mo Yu can get rid of the elemental people, the fishmen will agree with both hands.
The originally bustling battlefield suddenly became quiet, and the attention of the fishmen and elementals fell on Mo Yu.
However, Mo Yu did not pay much attention to the reactions of both sides.
When he came here today, his goal was to reach the elemental stronghold. By the way, he would also go to collect grass and hunt rabbits, and take a look at the situation in the lake.
In other words, both forces have been included in the expedition list, it is just a matter of who comes first and who comes later.
If the murlocs are blind, then deal with them first;
If the murlocs are smart and stay at the bottom of the lake, then we can first destroy the elemental stronghold.
Under the attention of both parties, Mo Yu swaggered open the Gate of War and began to summon out the defense towers inside.
Also appearing are the Storm Mermaid holding a conch and the Siren holding a bone blade.
In fact, in terms of appearance, the Storm Mermaid and the Siren are two extremely similar creatures, both with human bodies and fish tails.
The difference is that the Storm Mermaid has a soft and beautiful appearance, and the skin color of her fish tail is lighter.
The siren has a ferocious and slightly rough appearance, and its fish tail tends to be dark blue.
"Thunder Naga, prepare for battle. Teemo, strengthen the outer reconnaissance."
Mo Yu gave orders and began preparations for combat.
Several summoning towers began to summon continuously and formed a defensive formation.
In this battle, the summoning towers can hardly play any role. Their main task is to resist the enemy's raid and ensure the safety of the defense towers.
The real main force of the attack is the defense tower.
The appearance of a large number of summoned creatures immediately caused a commotion among the fishmen in the lake and the elemental creatures in the castle.
However, they did not launch an attack.
As we all know, the triangular structure is naturally stable.
The murlocs were weak and were happy to watch the show in the water, while the elemental creatures were worried that any rash action would provoke a joint attack from the other two forces, so they chose to stay put.
As for Mo Yu, he was even more happy to see this.
This will give you enough time to summon a large number of creatures to prevent the opponent's sudden attack.
In more than ten minutes, Mo Yu was ready.
In fact, if he delays for a while, he can summon enough creatures to surround the entire lake.
But there is no need.
Elementals are stronghold creatures. They cannot stray too far from their strongholds, so there is no need to worry about them escaping.
As aquatic creatures, mermen also cannot live without lakes and other such terrains.
Click! Click!
Along with the sound of the mechanism turning, two huge stones flew out with a whistling sound.
One is an ordinary stone, but it is huge, like a hill;
One was slightly smaller, but was surrounded by dense flames;
boom!
The huge rock hit the ice wall with a deafening roar.
The elemental's ice castle cracked with a lot of cracking sounds.
Although the Giant Catapult is a rare-level defense tower, its inherent city-breaking ability makes its damage to buildings unparalleled.
Next to it, the magic flame stone launched by the magic flame catapult also exploded with a loud bang, a large amount of magic flame spread out, and a large amount of water vapor rose up.
These demonic flames are extremely tenacious. Even if there are only ice and snow buildings nearby and no combustible materials, they still burn very vigorously.
It was not until the elementals reacted that they were gradually destroyed by their panicked water magic.
On the lakeside, as two huge rocks flew out, the defense tower sounded the horn of attack.
Exploding Arrow Tower, Fiery Sea of Fire Tower, Earth Spear Stabbing Tower... these large-scale defense towers caught the elemental creatures in the stronghold off guard.
The most noticeable thing is the Yangbao Tower that Mo Yu had just transformed.
Its range is relatively short, but with the support of the Centaurs, the attack of the Yangbao Tower can still reach the center of the stronghold.
The small scorching sun exploded with a loud bang, instantly melting dozens of elemental creatures nearby.
Not only that, the scorching sun flames and the blazing sea of fire left on the spot, as well as the magic flames left by the magic flame stones, connected together and caused great interference to the elemental creatures.
The elemental creatures in the stronghold are mainly water and ice elements.
I thought that the stronghold was built on the lake and should be their home ground, but who knew that with the cooperation of several defense towers, they were actually reversed.
In just the first few rounds of attacks, more than fifty elemental creatures in the stronghold were killed.
You know, there are only about two thousand elemental creatures in the entire stronghold.
The casualties were so heavy as they just met, the elemental creatures could not help but panic.
But Mo Yu was not satisfied.
The defensive capabilities of elemental creatures were even better than he had imagined.
Most of the attacks from defense towers have very little killing effect on them, no matter whether it is the Earth Spear Tower or the Sword Qi Tower, the attacks have little effect.
Even if it is a victorious gun tower, it is difficult to cause fatal damage to elemental creatures if the equality mode is not activated.
Their bodies are very similar to the loaches we encountered before. Unless the internal core is attacked, it is difficult to kill them by damaging the outer body.
Only range attack towers such as the Explosive Arrow Tower, the Fiery Sea of Fire Tower, and the Sun Explosion Tower can cause considerable damage.
"I hope you'll be sensible and come up here to die!" Mo Yu stared at the elemental creatures that were roaring in the stronghold with anticipation in his eyes.
He believed that the elemental creatures would not swallow their anger and become cowards.
Now with the emergence of defense towers, elemental creatures no longer have any geographical advantages, and they have no other way to go except to take the initiative to attack.
Otherwise, you will just have to defend the city and wait for death.
In that case, Mo Yu would have to spend some effort.
After all, the distance is too far, and there are only a limited number of defense towers that can effectively kill elemental creatures.
After the first wave of surprise attacks, the killing effect of the subsequent attacks will only become weaker and weaker.
In fact, several sun-explosive bombs and flame bombs that had not yet hit the ground and turned into a sea of fire were detonated by elemental creatures halfway and did not cause any casualties.
If we continue to attack at this pace, the entire day might be consumed in this five-star stronghold.
This is not what Mo Yu wants to see.
In today's work plan, in addition to this five-star base, there are three four-star bases, and time is very tight. Mo Yu's original plan was to deal with this five-star base before noon.
Therefore, he now needs the cooperation of elemental creatures and they should go out in full force.
Under the melee attacks of a large number of summoned creatures, these elemental creatures will be cleared faster.
Fortunately, the elemental creatures are still very cooperative.
After all, there is nothing wrong with their brains. How could they not fight back when being beaten?
The rules of the stronghold require that they cannot take the initiative to leave the stronghold and attack before the next week.
However, if attacked, these stronghold creatures are allowed to leave the stronghold and launch a counterattack against the attacker.
In the stronghold, all elemental creatures, led by the tall polar ice element, came out in full force and launched a surprise attack on Mo Yu.
There was not a single defender left in the entire stronghold.
Because for elemental creatures, a stronghold is just a city defense. They do not have the mission of guarding the lord's crystal like a territory.
The fishman under the water squatted obediently, with no intention of showing his head.
Now they can see clearly that both sides are big shots and they can't afford to offend either side.
The best outcome would be a huge battle between the two sides, with both sides suffering heavy losses. Only then would they be qualified to take advantage of the situation.
If you show up now, you will probably become a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Faced with the all-out attack from the elemental creatures, Mo Yu was not surprised but happy.
While commanding the defense towers to snipe at the rapidly approaching elemental creatures, he also mobilized the summoned creatures to prepare to welcome the elemental creatures.
At this moment, the elemental creatures, after experiencing the initial panic, gradually began to adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield.
A large number of water elements work together to support a water curtain wall to resist the attack of the defense tower.
At the same time, the wind element released bursts of green light, which blessed the elemental troops and increased their marching speed.
From time to time, thick ice cones and water columns flew out from the water curtain, blocking the attacks of the defense towers.
The ballistic speed of defense towers such as the Yangbao Tower and the Fiery Sea of Fire Tower is indeed slightly slow, and they can be easily intercepted.
As for the Explosive Arrow Towers and Magic Flame Catapult Towers that were difficult to intercept, most of them were successfully blocked by the water curtain wall.
The gap created by the explosion was quickly filled and soon closed, forming a water curtain again that stretched across the elemental forces.
Mo Yu nodded in admiration. Sure enough, the creatures in the five-star stronghold were much stronger when coordinated than before.
This difficulty is believed to trouble many lords.
Hey!
He became happy. It was worth being happy to see other lords in trouble.
After all, competitive pressure will be further reduced.
The elemental creature troops move very quickly. Water elements and ice elements can half-float on the water, while thunder elements and wind elements float in mid-air.
They ignored the influence of the terrain and quickly approached the shore.
However, how could Mo Yu let them get ashore easily? At least it was impossible for him to let them maintain such a strict formation.
call!
The cold wind howled, and the Ice Wind Vortex Tower stirred up a large amount of cold wind, sweeping towards the lake.
The extreme ice element rushing in the front had a mocking look in its eyes. It could feel the chilling breath coming from the cold wind blowing towards it.
But what kind of operation is it to attack them with ice?
Not to mention the ice and water elements, even the wind and thunder elements will not be affected, and some elements can even absorb and draw power from them.
But the next second, the mockery in its eyes froze.
Because the whistling cold wind actually created dozens of whirlpools of different sizes on the water surface.
These whirlpools emit extremely strong suction forces, and many elemental creatures are swept into the whirlpools and trapped inside.
In particular, Mo Yu was still worried and applied a gravity field to it.
This resulted in the elemental creatures sucked into the frost vortex, although not harmed by the frost attack, being unable to move due to the suction force of the vortex and the suppression of the gravity field.
The originally dense formation of the elemental creatures was instantly destroyed into pieces.
The defense tower seized this opportunity and quickly launched an attack, killing many elemental creatures.
However, the leader of the elemental creatures, the Extreme Ice Element, reacted quickly, quickly abandoned the small number of trapped elementals, and continued to approach the shore.
The idea is simple, these large spells have a long cooldown period.
And it only takes them one or two minutes to get ashore quickly.
They don't even need to go ashore. Just by getting close to the shore, they can cast spells and launch a counterattack.
Woohoo!
A melodious horn sounded in the air, and a storm quickly arose on the calm lake.
The waves rolled in, and the lightning and wind elements in the team flew into the air to avoid them.
They are not as strong as water and ice elements. If they are caught in the waves, it will not be fatal, but it will be troublesome.
Under such circumstances, the extreme ice elements had no time to organize their formation.
It ordered all elemental creatures to quickly approach the shore and release magic to launch a counterattack.
We can't let the other side attack so recklessly.
As the order was given, the elemental creatures' formation dispersed and the resistance they encountered suddenly became much smaller.
After all, Mo Yu's defense towers and storm mermaids are limited, and cannot intercept all elemental creatures.
In the multi-line attack, the first to break through the storm blockade were not the thunder element and the wind element, but the water element and the ice element.
After breaking away from the formation, they half-submerged in the water to avoid interference from the defense tower.
It's very easy to get close to the shore from underwater.
However, the wind and lightning elements in the air suffered heavy losses. They were tasked with attracting firepower for friendly forces and suffered heavy damage.
However, their mission was accomplished, and the water and ice elemental troops successfully reached the shore.
Roar!
With a dragon roar, the extreme ice element took the lead and summoned a crystal clear ice dragon from the water.
However, the ice dragon had just risen from the water when it was blasted to pieces by countless fireballs.
A large number of Fire Demon Wolves, guarding the shore, launched an attack.
However, along with the extreme ice element, there were also a large number of ice elements and water elements.
Ice cones and ice arrows fell like raindrops.
However, when it fell in mid-air, it seemed to encounter some invisible force and slid to one side.
This is the blessing of the Wind Shield Tower, which has an excellent resistance and deflection effect on long-range attacks and spell attacks.
The two sides surrounded the shore and bombarded each other.
These water and ice elementals are very cunning. They hide underwater and never come ashore, only using spells.
The attack from the defense tower was not very effective.
Seeing this, Mo Yu created an illusion of gradually losing strength. The Flame Demon Wolves and Skeleton Soldiers on the periphery were killed in large numbers under the attack of the elemental creatures...
