This development speed is quite fast!
Lin Xiao nodded, without commenting, patted his shoulder and said:
"Let's talk later, I'm going in first."
"Okay."
Before entering the dungeon, Lin Xiao checked his troops and arms cards. There were a total of 39 spearman cards and 17 archer cards, all of which were accumulated from the first three levels of the five dungeons and the third level of the Saran Battle dungeon. They were just waiting for now.
The arms produced by these dungeons near the City of Glory are all from the Temple forces. The first-level arms are all spearmen, and the second-level arms are all archers. There will be no arms rewards from other forces.
Thirty-nine spearmen, according to two new recruits and one old soldier, can be combined into 19 old soldier cards and one new soldier card.
Then combine nine elite spearman cards, leaving one old soldier card.
Seventeen archer new recruit cards can be combined into eight old soldier archers, four elite archers, and one new soldier card.
Spearmen occupy one population, and archers occupy two populations. Lin Xiao considered
these cards
and readjusted his subordinates. He withdrew part of the original troops to the storage space, leaving only 400 elite spearmen, and then replaced the 100 veteran archers and 100 new recruit archers with 300 elite spearmen, which was exactly the command limit of 1,000.
In the end, the storage slot stored 52 veteran spearmen, 182 new recruit spearmen, 100 veteran archers, and 100 new recruit archers.
There were still eight elite spearmen cards, one veteran card and one new recruit spearman card, as well as one elite archer card and one new recruit archer card in his hand.
This configuration is the best configuration Lin Xiao has now. The core is the 300 elite archers, which is also the core he relies on to pass the level.
"I hope I can pass the level in one go!"
Lin Xiao crossed his fingers and clasped his hands to cheer himself up.
When the dungeon reaches the fourth level, not only is the difficulty increased more than the first three levels, but the dungeon mechanism has also changed.
If you can pass the first three levels, all the dead in the dungeon can be resurrected, but in the fourth level, some of the dead subordinates will be resurrected randomly, not all of them. If you lose, sorry, no one will be resurrected.
This is quite a pitfall. Once you lose, it will be like going back to the days before liberation.
But if you can pass the level, the reward will definitely be worth the risk. If
you want to stand out, you must take some risks. Moreover, compared to others, he has the magic cube of good fortune to directly synthesize elite subordinates, which is a great advantage. Entering
the Saran Battle dungeon again, Lin Xiao immediately observed the strength of his old rival, the Barbarian Hero, and knew that it was necessary to stockpile a wave of soldiers before.
It was still that Barbarian Hero. Lin Xiao remembered that there were more than 700 big-eared monsters on the previous level. This time, not only did the number soar to 1,000, but there were also a large number of veterans and even elites among these big-eared monsters, with up to 300 wolf knights, nearly 100 orc axemen, and most importantly, ten level 4 ogre mages.
Level 4 soldiers are already mid-to-high-level soldiers, and their combat power is quite strong. Ogre Mages have strong physique and strength, and they also have the ability to cast spells.
Of course, this Ogre Mages is a unique soldier in the world of ruins, and its level is level 4, not as strong as other crystal wall ogre mages.
Facing the Barbarian heroes with reasonable soldier combinations, Lin Xiao can only play defensive counterattacks, relying on these 300 elite archers.
After the level 2 archers are upgraded to elite soldiers, they are not only as strong as level 3 soldiers, but their range has also long exceeded that of the Orc Axe Throwers. In fact, the range of archers that have not been upgraded is already farther than that of Orc Axe Throwers, not to mention now.
When the number of archers reaches a certain level, the lethality directly increases exponentially.
At the beginning of the battle, before the Wolf Knight came over, Lin Xiao commanded the troops to retreat to a small hillside, with elite spearmen guarding the bottom of the hill, and 300 elite archers standing on the hillside, with a wave of projectiles from a distance, and a large number of big-eared monsters were nailed to the ground.
Elite archers, which are comparable to the third-level troops, can kill the big-eared monsters instantly. As long as they hit the vital points, they will die.
With enough long-range shooters, the threat of the Wolf Knight is greatly reduced. As long as the Wolf Knight dares to approach, he will also be served by a rain of arrows.
However, when entering the fourth-level dungeon, this barbarian hero also receives a lot of bonuses. The most intuitive manifestation is that the hero's strategic attributes seem to have been greatly enhanced, and his IQ has also been greatly enhanced. Compared with the previous three levels, he was still hesitant to use tactics. This time, he directly attacked head-on regardless of casualties. The Wolf Knight directly launched an attack after the central army engaged in the battle, unlike the previous three levels, which would test back and forth.
A large number of big-eared monsters approached with huge casualties under the urging of the ogre magician's roar. The Wolf Knight also entered the range and rushed straight to the high slope.
Lin Xiao quickly sent one hundred elite spearmen on each side to step forward to fight the two Wolf Knights on the left and right. The archers did not split their troops and only attacked the big-eared monsters.
Although the big-eared monsters are far less powerful than the wolf knights, they are numerous. If so many big-eared monsters rush forward, he must send out a large number of elite spearmen to resist. When the number of spearmen guarding the archers is reduced, the wolf knights will take the opportunity to attack from behind, and it is easy to lose sight of the
big and be defeated. Therefore, it is necessary to kill a large number of big-eared monsters in one go. As long as the number of big-eared monsters drops to a certain level, only a small number of elite spearmen can be used to block them, and there will be enough troops to protect the elite archers. As long as
the core archers can hold their ground, they can shoot the enemies one by one.
The fact is as he thought. Under the continuous shooting of 300 elite archers with higher attack, longer range and more accuracy, only 1,000 big-eared monsters can't stand it. When the big-eared monsters advance to less than 100 meters from the front row of elite spearmen and enter the range of the orc axe throwers, more than half of the big-eared monsters have been killed.
At this time, it is a head-on shooting.
Two hundred elite spearmen stepped forward to resist the big-eared beasts, and the elite archers began to shoot at the orc axe throwers in the rear.
The ones who suffered in this regard were the Orc axe throwers and the spearmen who blocked the spears in front of the archers.
Because the hand axes thrown by the Orc axe throwers could not be thrown, they had to kill the spearmen in front before they could attack the archers, and the archers' throwing could easily hit the Orc axe throwers hiding behind the big-eared monsters.
The most important thing was that the number of Orc axe throwers was only one-third of that of the archers.
So...
So the barbarian hero directly sent the ten ogre mages, gave himself a set of bloodthirst, and then rushed to Lin Xiao's central army like a tank, bypassing the fighting big-eared monsters and spearmen.
Although he was called an ogre mage, he was also a powerful warrior with thick skin and thick flesh.
Lin Xiao had to let the archers give up shooting at the Orc axe throwers and focus on killing the ten ogre mages first. If this thing rushed in, it could directly mess up the formation.
A wave of full-scale concentrated fire, three of the ten ogre mages fell, and their bodies were full of arrows like hedgehogs.
The orc axe throwers took the opportunity to knock down a dozen spearmen in the front row who were fighting the big-eared monsters.
The second wave of full-scale fire killed another four, and the orc axe throwers took the opportunity to knock down more than twenty spearmen in a wave. The spearmen line, which originally had only two hundred, began to show an unstable trend.
The third wave killed all the remaining ogre mages. This time, more than forty elite spearmen were killed.
There were a total of two hundred elite spearmen, and nearly eighty were killed in three waves. The defense line was deformed by the four or five times larger big-eared monsters, and it seemed that the monsters could not stop them.
But Lin Xiao was not in a hurry. He slowly ordered the archers to continue throwing arrows at the big-eared monster formation.
The rain of arrows disrupted the offensive of the big-eared monsters, and he ordered the spearmen to fight and retreat to offset the pressure, and waves of arrows began to harvest.
The loss was quite heartbreaking, but it was useless to be heartbroken at this time. What should be done is to defeat the enemy and win to recover some of the losses, and you must not panic.
At this time, the two Wolf Knight teams on the left and right could not break through the defense line guarded by the elite spearmen for a long time. Seeing that the losses of the big-eared monsters were getting bigger and bigger, and the situation was getting worse and worse, the barbarian hero gave the Wolf Knights a death order, forcing them to attack.
A large number of Wolf Knights retreated, accelerated, and rushed directly to the spearmen. Many jumped far away and tried to cross the elite spearmen's defense line, but they were greeted by raised spears, and the consequences were self-evident.
Both sides were at level two, but the spearmen restrained the cavalry, and the Wolf Cavalry was not a heavy cavalry. One side could not do anything for a while when it was defending.
In just five minutes, 90% of the big-eared monsters were killed, and the elite spearmen at the front were less than 30 dead.
After more than 20 waves of shooting, the half-orc axe throwers were also dead.
There were more than 200 Wolf Knights left, and they could not break through the guards of the 200 elite spearmen, and finally retreated helplessly.
Lin Xiao did not dare to pursue, but just gathered his troops and followed slowly, never giving the Wolf Cavalry a chance to strike back, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the dungeon determined that he had finally won.
When the scene in front of him slowly became illusory, a light curtain unfolded in front of him, and a series of settlement data slid down in front of him.
"Congratulations on passing the fourth level of the 'Battle of Saran' dungeon, and randomly resurrecting the dead subordinates."
"You get 1,000 experience points, 10 points, 10,000 gold coins, 100 wood and ore, you get 10 spearman cards, 5 archer cards, 20 griffin cards, 2 archer barracks fragments, and +1 temple reputation."
"You have passed the fourth level of the 'Battle of Saran' dungeon, and the fifth level dungeon will be reset and completed in 24 hours."
Lin Xiao carefully checked the prompts, not to mention the various rewards, the key point is that the fifth level dungeon has a whole day CD, which means that it cannot be brushed continuously.
However, there is no prompt that you can't brush the fourth level of other dungeons, which is good news.
Since there is no prohibition, you will naturally continue to brush it.
Through the attempt just now, I proved that I have the ability to clear the fourth floor. It is just right to clear the fourth floor of all the dungeons around the City of Glory and accumulate more strength.
By the way, I can widen the gap with other competitors. Although Yi Lai also has additional options at the beginning, he does not have the magic cube of good fortune to give him a bunch of elite troops. Clearing the fourth floor once will definitely cause huge losses, and it is absolutely impossible to clear it continuously.
