Chapter 100 Coordinated Battle
Byrne once left behind several sets of tactics for fighting against metamorphic extraordinary beings. Of course, these were referring to enemies at the lower level of metamorphosis. If the enemy was at the middle level of metamorphosis, the only option was to escape.
Because starting from the level of metamorphosis, the gap between each small stage of the extraordinary person is a huge change.
The guards of the Fisher family stood at various locations in the manor, lighting torches in every key place to dispel the darkness, and were ready to report the situation by whistling at any time.
They can report completely different situations by using different combinations of long and short whistles.
Of course, if the situation is extremely urgent, the guards can also directly "report" with gunshots.
They had already received a lot of training, and although everyone looked extremely nervous, Byrne and Captain Theo had repeatedly instilled a concept in everyone.
As long as the Fisher family cooperates well and unites as one, they can defeat any enemy.
Of course, this is impossible.
However, they must make their subordinates believe this, otherwise morale will collapse easily and everything will be over.
There are papers with mystic rings posted everywhere in Fisher Manor. In order to prevent problems with the papers, they are replaced every few days.
Irene closed her eyes and silently listened to what was happening outside.
After hiding the two children, Vanessa returned to the manor and sent out all the fireflies to help resist the enemy's attacks with aerial firepower.
She has two different summoning type spells, Summon Birds and Summon Fireflies.
Compared to summoning birds, summoning fireflies requires less mental power, and the number of summons that can be summoned will be greater.
The birds and fireflies summoned by Vanessa are not without killing ability, but "bombs" that can be detonated from the inside to cause damage. The power of the former is even comparable to alchemical explosives, while the power of the latter is similar to that of a bullet fired from a flintlock.
The maximum control distance of the summoner at the origin is one hundred meters. If they are farther away, even one or two meters, they will be completely out of Vanessa's control.
Eric took out many alchemical potions that he had purchased and made over the years, divided them into two types: auxiliary recovery and harmful. He quickly distributed them all to everyone present.
"The great Lord of the Lost has told me that he is a summoning spellcaster. He is located behind a tree at the seven o'clock direction, five hundred meters away."
Irene calmly assigned the most important tasks to her brother and Archibald.
"He will definitely send summons to attack the manor. We will resist and delay them head-on. Chris, you and Archibald will go kill the caster himself."
"The great Lord of the Lost will tell you the exact location of that hateful invader."
"Archibald, you have to protect Chris."
Archibald nodded repeatedly, his whole body trembling with excitement, and said with wide eyes: "Well, Dean Irene, I will definitely protect him, don't worry!"
The key to the assassination lies in Chris, who possesses the power of the "killer" sequence.
He was able to sneak up to the caster silently and end the battle once and for all.
However, the most important issue is that spellcasters generally have ways to defend themselves.
Whether Chris can break through the caster's self-defense method is the key to completing the assassination on the battlefield.
However, none of them knew what the other party's self-defense method was.
Just as Byrne concluded, "intelligence" is the most important thing in extraordinary combat.
If they knew in advance how the opposing spellcaster would defend himself, they would be better prepared.
However, the enemy is unaware of their various abilities, and there is a "fog" between both sides. Whether they can successfully use the "fog" to defeat the enemy is the key to victory or defeat.
Time passed little by little, and everyone felt very nervous. Some people even thought that it would be better for the enemy to come sooner, because the waiting period was the most torturous and anxious time.
Chris lowered his head silently, thinking about what he and Archibald had to do, which was to put an end to the enemy once and for all.
At the same time, he was also calculating when the Silver Elder Allen, the old priest of the Storm Cult, the sheriff and others would arrive.
There is no doubt that the participation of every extraordinary person is likely to affect the battle situation.
Irene suddenly spoke up.
“Here it comes!”
Soon, a fierce and loud whistle sounded outside! A long whistle!
"call out!!!!!"
A monster with a bull's head and a human body, over five meters tall, suddenly appeared outside the manor, waving its strong arms and smashing through the wall, with no intention of hiding its huge body at all.
The guards saw it first even from a distance!
"Fire!"
Faced with the terrifying monster that was more than five meters tall, the guards were all extremely nervous and opened fire without hesitation as soon as it entered the shooting range.
However, a despairing scene appeared. The monster with a bull's head and a human body turned out to be thick-skinned and strong. It could actually withstand the flintlock bullets. Even though it was covered with wounds, it still rushed forward angrily!
At the same time, the monster's several huge arms grabbed part of the rubble on the wall.
Its running speed is close to that of an ordinary person, but its strength and vitality are enough to rival a degenerate lower-level Bloodline Knight. However, the distance for throwing alchemical explosives is not close enough, so the guards can only keep shooting.
In most battles, some of the ordinary guards would turn around and run away at this stage.
"Don't retreat! If you retreat, you will die!"
However, the deputy captain of the guards roared loudly in the back, and the guards responsible for defending that side turned pale, but they still stood where they were without retreating or running away.
Getting closer!
The monster with a bull's head and a human body had come within thirty meters. Its several huge arms threw stones, instantly killing two guards who were relatively close to it on the spot.
Everyone was terrified when they saw this moment. A new guard screamed and turned around to escape in fear, but was shot down by the deputy guard captain with a precise shot.
"Bang!"
Smoke was still coming out of the muzzle of the gun, and the deputy guard captain's voice was extremely cold.
"No one is allowed to run! Get ready to throw! Those who have finished shooting, reload your bullets!"
Finally, the monster with a bull's head and a human body came within the throwing range of the alchemical explosives, and the family guards desperately threw the alchemical explosives one after another.
For several years, Fischer's family guards received shooting and throwing training every day. The replenishment of various ammunition and extra bonuses consumed a lot of the family's money, and the guards also complained constantly.
However, it was not until this moment that their training finally showed results.
Most of the alchemical explosives were thrown accurately, landing at the monster's feet, and then exploded with a loud bang!
The minotaur was instantly covered in wounds and fell to one knee on the ground, its already red skin torn into pieces.
It couldn't help but wail continuously, and even its charging speed came to a complete halt.
“It works! It works!”
“We did it!”
"Fuck it! Fuck it!"
When the family guards saw the remarkable effect of the explosives, their morale immediately boosted.
The old man in the distance observed the battle situation through the perspective of the Defeater Demon with a bull's head and a human body, and frowned slightly.
"It's really strange, the guards of the Fisher family actually have the qualities of professional soldiers?"
Ordinary people have very poor psychological quality. When they see a monster the size of a house running not far in front of them, and their companions are killed, they will basically become panic-stricken and even flee in all directions.
The Fisher family's guards were completely beyond his expectations.
However, the old man had a backup plan. The worms in the ground suddenly crawled out from behind the bunker and bit to death several guards hiding behind the bunker. Their tooth-filled mouthparts tore their flesh and blood into pieces in an instant!
"Ahhh! Monster!"
The guards were still screaming wildly before they died, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
“Ahhhhh! Help me, help me!”
"damn it!"
The other guards felt a chill run down their spines when they saw this scene. Their morale, which had just begun to rise, suddenly froze, and they quickly opened fire at the worm monster!
However, the worm monster was very fast and drilled deep into the ground again in an instant.
The flintlock had terrible accuracy, and in such a rush no bullet could hit it.
"wrong."
The old man who was watching the battle silently beside a tree in the distance frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong. None of the opponent's extraordinary people had appeared until now.
So he cast the summoning spell again, consuming some of his mental power, and summoned out fist-sized black ants on the ground.
There is a fiery red line on their heads, which starts to spread out around them after it appears.
Various forms of enemy-searching spells are basically a must-have for spellcasters at every metamorphosis level.
The number of spell models that a spellcaster can remember is limited. The origin can only remember one, two, or three spell models, while the metamorphic level spellcasters can remember five, seven, or nine spell models.
Most spellcasters at the origin level have no choice, and in battles at the metamorphosis level, only the stupidest spellcasters will only memorize attack and defense spells.
They all knew the importance of functional spells such as "Search Enemy".
Dozens of big black ants crawled in all directions. When they encountered walls and trees, they climbed directly upwards, sensing all the situations around them.
Soon, they discovered Archibald who was approaching quietly.
The two closest big black ants suddenly charged towards him frantically, and the flame patterns on their heads glowed and hot!
Just when Archibald was about to be touched by the giant black ants, he suddenly jumped several meters high, and then he saw two giant black ants on the east coast explode instantly on the ground!
"boom!"
The ground was blown into pieces, and the explosion was as powerful as alchemical dynamite. If Archibald had not suddenly jumped up, he would have been seriously injured even if he did not die on the spot.
"Hey, he really found me! How did I get exposed? Is he Chris from the Fisher family?"
The old man didn't understand at all that the remaining smell of his breath, the sounds he made, and even the airflow caused by his movements had been locked onto by the other party.
He quickly moved to another location. Although he didn't understand how the other party found him, he had to leave quickly since his position had been discovered, otherwise he would be likely to be attacked suddenly by the other party.
At the same time, the old man was extremely skilled in constantly switching the perspectives of the various summons, controlling them in multiple threads to continuously scout and kill enemies.
"The advantage of spellcasters is that we can create battlefields with completely different situations!"
The worms have killed seven guards in a row, and the morale of the remaining guards is about to collapse. Even the deputy captain of the guards looks very unhappy.
At this moment, an extremely special bullet hit the worm's head with an almost impossible probability!
