Chapter 21: A Perfect Ambush
Just like the last time he ambushed the Beastman Hundred, Lin Tian, who had a surge in power, decided to use the same tactics again. After nearly a day of rushing and searching, he finally locked onto one of the beastmen scouts, and after trailing him for half an hour, followed him back to the Beastman army's campsite. Although the strategic map could show the general location and scale of the red dots, the specific detailed position and information still had to rely on actual reconnaissance, after all, it was very difficult to judge a point on that small map which displayed a range larger than one county.
The old trick, following the enemy in the dark back to their temporary camp, Lin Tian carefully determined the scale of this unit, should be around 300 people with 3 hundred-man teams. This group of enemies obviously didn't learn from the lesson of the previous victim, because last time some coward had thoroughly cleaned up the battlefield, ensuring not a single clue was left behind. After many days, these scouts still hadn't discovered any trace.
With the many high-ranking troops in his hands, it shouldn't be a problem to take down these 300 beastmen, but his own forces would definitely suffer losses, which he didn't want to bear... Let's think about it again. Lin Tian lay in a tent far away from the beastmen's camp, silently thinking about tomorrow's battle in his mind, the key was how to achieve a sneak attack effect.
Sleep first, and get rid of them tomorrow morning!
The 7th day of the second week.
Because 7-tier buildings cannot be unlocked, the 7-tier angel and dragon are naturally unavailable, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also reached its peak. Under duress, Lin Tian began to supplement his military strength by building up his troops.
"Constructing a 5-tiered temple for the Human tribe - 10,000! Recruiting 10 monks - 10,000!" Remaining 10,000 gold.
Human Tier 5 Soldier Monk, similar to the classic Eastern martial monk image in movies, with a big bald head full of scars, wearing close-fitting short sleeves inside, and a grayish-black linen long gown outside, with hemp cloth shoes on feet, and clean white leg wraps around calves. However, there is no staff in hand, no weapon, can use light ball for magic remote attack, considered as magic shooter soldier type. Possesses the ability to use healing spell once a day, has the same strong milk dad potential as Pastor! Also has a mysterious Kung Fu property!
Martial Arts: In close combat, use martial arts to launch a melee attack, and the attack power is not subject to the constraint of halving the shooter's close combat! This is an all-around type that is suitable for both long-range and close-range combat without any obvious weaknesses.
"Constructing Tier 4 Druid Totem - 5000! Recruiting 20 Druids - 4000!" Remaining 1000 gold. I'm sweating bullets, almost had a resource drought.
The 4th-tier Druid of the Elf tribe, wearing a thick rattan armor woven from old vines and adorned with green leaves on their deer-shaped hat, holding an old vine staff. They may not look impressive, but they are actually extremely powerful among the 4th-tier troops. They are true magical archers, able to use non-consumable magic projectiles for normal attacks, and have the ability to release a Thunderbolt spell once a day when necessary. Their trait is Magical Surge.
Magic Spring: Can be released once a day, actively replenishes 2 points of magic for your hero. This is similar to the hero's magic mobile ATM, awesome!
With the experience of last time, this sneak attack went very smoothly. Unlike before, Lin Tian's troops, especially his long-range units, were incredibly powerful this time. Just as the beastman sentinel jumped up and hadn't had a chance to loudly sound the alarm, 10 elven archers arranged by him directly stuffed its warning cry back into its own throat. The 10 4th-level warriors instantly killed the 3rd-level beastman scout, you're still quite dignified! Due to the enemy's failed alarm, he added to his chances of victory. Dead House now feels very wise.
70 remote archers launched a scattered skill, 60 elf marksmen, 10 priests and 10 monks concentrated on precise shooting, pouring arrows into the enemy; while 20 druids released thunderbolts at the beginning, intense visual effects rose and fell, after a round of magic bombing they continued to shoot with magic missiles. Meanwhile, 110 flower fairies collectively cast Bee Swarm Disturbance, the dense bee swarm's weak attack power had an excellent delaying effect on the enemy's battle formation. These small flower fairies lined up in front of the remote troops after casting their spells, actively defending themselves.
This time, 80 longbowmen and 50 dwarves were directly placed in front of the archer troops, not participating in this attack at all, only serving as a meat wall to protect the remote main force. After all, Lin Tian had an obvious advantage in terms of military strength. In fact, Lin Tian had basically made up his mind that the first-tier longbowmen would probably be eliminated from the combat sequence after this battle. This batch of earliest loyal warriors would likely be dispersed to various cities and villages as a defensive security force for supplementing territories, their master believing that he would have more territories in need of protection by longbowmen in the future, making it unnecessary to waste them at this time.
The Inner Guard only dispatched 4 Tree Spirits and 60 Swordsmen, all of which are high-ranking close combat troops with strong vitality. It's not too difficult to retreat after being heavily injured, and they don't seek to achieve great merit, at least they won't easily fall in battle.
When the Knights joined in, after a brief pause, 4 knights and 10 unicorns led by the ground, plus 20 Griffin in the sky, added to 20 flying horseback riders, launched a cluster trampling charge on land and air at the same time. The already chaotic beastman troops were like butter cut through with a hot blade.
Three beastman hundred-man teams were thoroughly ambushed and were all in a state of confusion, unable to organize an effective formation to intercept them in a short period of time. Compared to the last ambush, Lin Tian's strength had increased greatly this time, his experience was richer, and the high-ranking soldiers completely suppressed them, just one confrontation, these originally very brave beastmen collapsed...
Then it was a chase, and this was the cavalry's specialty. Lin Tian had more than 4 high-ranking cavalrymen, which was no surprise.
Hint: A perfect victory! 300 beastman warriors killed, totaling 3000 military strength. Acquired treasure: Vitality Ring.
Vitality Ring: Increases your own and your subordinates' maximum life by 10%.
What a great thing! The two ring slots of Lin Tian have been empty before, now they can finally use one, and the attribute is still very practical life bonus, which makes the strength of the dead house and its subordinates take another step forward.
Hint: Get 4000 gold coins. Remaining 10000 gold.
Hint: Hero level upgraded to 7, magic +1.
This time he directly chose the primary water system magic! Lin Tian also entered the Magic Tower for the first time and learned 1st-level water system magic: Healing Technique.
Tip: Since the hero's main profession has acquired water system magic ability, the sub-profession also has the talent to learn water system magic.
Well, this time the main profession has been upgraded, but the secondary profession is still quiet, making a certain house both happy and sad. The good news is that things haven't developed in an uncontrollable direction, it seems there's no setting for cultivating gods after all. The disappointing thing is, when can I reach the level of a 7th-level mage, completely unknown!
Alright, a perfect ambush, and no damage to ourselves.
Every time he fought against the Beastmen, it brought many benefits to Lin Tian. This kind of substantial increase in strength made a certain otaku repeat himself over and over again.
I like Beastmen!
