Chapter 139 The critical situation (3 updates)
The other soldiers also vaguely guessed this.

Now, they all understood that the enemy against them was not some unknown danger, but most likely human beings.

Before these monsters, called experimental subjects, could rush onto the wall, Matthew raised his hand and threw out a "fireball".

The rotating fireball fell with a crash and exploded in the middle of the experimental body.

The terrifying impact instantly tore these ferocious-looking monsters into pieces, and their charred and broken bodies were scattered all over the ground.

"Ding, you kill 7 experimental subjects, the mana drain is activated, and you get 12 mana points."

He frowned involuntarily. The feedback he got from activating mana extraction four times was not much different from that of the violent murloc.

This shows that Matthew’s inference is correct!
More and more monster experiments emerged from the shadows of the swamp. They roared and roared, without stopping, they crashed directly into the iron wood.

The dull crashing sound put a lot of pressure on the soldiers.

They held their spears tightly and aimed downwards without hesitation.

The battle entered a fierce stage from the beginning.

There was a continuous sound of bowstrings.

The terrifying destructive power of the crossbow arrows was clearly demonstrated at this moment.

Even if the maximum health of the experimental subject is increased by 15 points, it cannot resist the ferocious arrows with its flesh and blood body.

The galloping crossbow arrows instantly penetrated the experimental subjects rushing out of the mist and plunged heavily into the ground.

More than 10 experimental subjects rushed from the road and were killed in an instant.

The reason why such results can be achieved is that Adam Smith summed up the defensive experience.

Instead of letting the cart pullers, who have not fully mastered the skills of bow and arrow shooting, just go ahead and shoot for a few rounds before giving up completely.

It is better to separate the original crossbowmen and hand over the heavy physical work to the cart drivers. The original crossbowmen only need to aim and shoot.

Although this will slow down the shooting speed of the crossbow, it will double the number of crossbows that can be fired!
Adam Smith also had more insights into the use of clay golems.

Those violent and bloodthirsty fishmen, whose targets are more living humans and flesh and blood, are not interested in clay golems.

They were concentrated by Adams, blocking the impact of the experimental body right in front.

These experimental subjects, who are on all fours, have taller bodies and stronger climbing abilities than the violent murlocs.

After four or five minutes of concentrated attack, they had already begun to scale the wall.

Although he was quickly smashed by the clay golem's punch, which made Adam Smith even more nervous.

These terrifying experimental subjects are far more dangerous than the violent murlocs!
More experimental subjects broke out of the fog, and after being baptized by crossbow arrows, the number was reduced by about 1/4.

The rest trampled on the corpses of their companions, jumped up the wall nimbly, brandished their dagger-like claws, and slashed deep marks on the shields.

Jumping sparks appeared, and their terrifying attack power made the defending soldiers' hearts beat wildly.

Fortunately, their defense was quite tight, with dense spears thrust out from the gaps in the shields.

The shield-wielding soldier did not leave room for the experimental subject to land, and was stabbed by a sharp spear as soon as he jumped out.

"Roar……!"

The stabbed experimental subject struggled crazily and fell down.

The pressure on the defense increased and the battle became more intense.

Boom!

The fireball technique fell and smashed the first batch of experimental subjects' offensive.

The soldiers won a chance to breathe and took the time to change positions and equipment.

Matthew did not wait until the experimental subject rushed to the wall before releasing the fireball technique like before.

Instead, they started attacking the next batch of experimental subjects that rushed over.

Minimize the attack intensity and quantity of experimental subjects.

Use the destructive power and lethality of the fireball technique as much as possible!

This is the choice Matthew made, and it is also a direct response to the opponent's attrition tactics.

"How many more times do you think I can release?"

The roar of the explosion lit up the battlefield in front of the hillside again and again.

Fireball, a magical skill on the battlefield, once again demonstrated its powerful deterrence.

Without knowing how many opportunities Matthew had to cast spells, he was reluctant to take the initiative to attack.Soldiers have demonstrated great adaptability.

With the help of favorable terrain, sophisticated equipment, desperate determination, generous rewards, and potions.

It was also blessed with Adam Smith’s “Courage” scroll.

He withstood the attack of the experimental subjects whose number was weakened.

Boom!

The fireball technique explodes!
The spreading flames fell in all directions with the remaining flames, and the darkness of the misty swamp was illuminated by shining light.

Matthew put down his staff with some regret, but he still couldn't see how many enemies there were in the fog.

He turned around and left quietly, and said to the nervous Adam Smith beside him:
"Go!"

……

The faint cold wind blowing, the stench of burning and the rotting smell of the swamp were completely unable to shake Bloodhand Karn's nerves.

He stared at the remaining 1/2 of the experimental subject, whose face was hidden under the mask without any emotion.

The flashing red light, even two or three hundred meters away, can still transmit a blurry image through the thick fog.

"The 11th fireball technique!"

Bloodhand Kahn is no longer too lazy to care about why this arcanist has such an amazing ability to continue fighting.

He has only one thought now:
"If the other party can get rid of 2/3 of the experimental subjects, turn around and leave decisively."

He suddenly raised his head. He had counted 200 times just now, but there was still no sound of the fireball explosion.

"Finally no longer capable of fighting?"

"Or are you setting a trap?"

Bloodhand Kahn's simple thoughts flashed past.

Then, he saw a bright light rising from the mist in the distance.

The other party is using alchemical fuel again!
This time, Blood-Hand Kahn did not hesitate any longer. He raised his head and drank a bottle of emerald green potion, and roared in a low and altered voice:
"All-out attack!"

The sound became more and more beast-like as it reached back!

The last bit of reason in my mind turned into burning rage, and in the end only the remaining reverberation remained:
"The 200 barrels of alchemical fuel have been consumed, the 80 fireball scrolls have been consumed, and the resistance time that the soldiers can receive supplies has reached the maximum!"

"You! You will definitely die!!"

"Roar……!"

Bloodhand Kahn's body, as well as the mount beneath him, began to undergo distorted changes.

The body swelled instantly, and dripping blood sprinkled like spring water...

Matthew, who was in the temporary camp, vaguely noticed something. He glanced at the busy kobolds, turned around and left the tent.

The blazing flames enveloped the entire camp, constantly burning the experimental subjects that rushed over.

These irrational monsters swarmed like moths to a flame.

Such a scene made the tired and stressed soldiers immediately relax a lot.

Especially after seeing Matthew walking out of the tent again, every soldier couldn't help but cheer.

Matthew, who looked calm, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he looked at the excited faces.

At first, he wanted to teach the snake out of its hole.

Everyone here is bait!

Although they all know this, almost all of them choose to embark on this path and fight to survive.

"So, we will definitely win!"

"Roar……!"

The deafening roar even tore through the thick fog and spread throughout the camp.

Matthew turned around and saw the huge figure behind the flames, with a little surprise in his eyes:
"Kahn the Bloody Hand, challenge level 15+, peak high level!"

　Ask for a follow-up order, ask for a monthly ticket!
