At first glance, reaction actions don't seem to be useful in strategy mode.
As a general, unless the enemy sends an assassin, he will usually not be attacked at close range, so there is no chance of counterattack or attack of opportunity.
But is this really the case?
Gao Fei vaguely felt that there was a loophole to exploit.
In order to test his idea, he deliberately gave up flying, landed among the enemy troops, and walked towards his own defense line with his head held high.
It's okay, I'm just moving, I don't mean to attack you.
Unfortunately, the red dragon is too big. One foot is as big as an orc. If he accidentally steps on the green-skinned guy while walking, that can't be considered an active attack, right?
The only thing to blame is that you are too small and have poor eyesight. If you see a giant dragon approaching and don't move away quickly, is this any different from running into a dump truck?
Die, you deserve it!
Along the way, Gao Fei trampled and injured countless orcs and wargs.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, he would have been so frightened that he would hide as far away as possible.
However, the orcs are a proud fighting nation.
Wargs are also fierce creatures that become more courageous the more they fight.
Seeing this lone red dragon being so arrogant and daring to trample it wantonly in the midst of thousands of troops, how could he swallow his breath if he didn't regard himself as a human being!
At this time, General Schroeder had regained his sight and blew the horn in person to boost morale and encourage his soldiers to charge and capture the position.
Encouraged by General Schroeder, the orc wolf cavalry wielded chain hammers and slashing spears, roared and rushed towards the red dragon, launching a ferocious siege, vowing to cut this arrogant dragon into pieces!
Very good, you made the first move, no wonder I!
A sinister smile appeared on the lips of the red dragon, and he slowly raised the dragon's claw, and a huge black ax with a hint of blue appeared in his palm.
Goofy is in red dragon form, with a defense level as high as 40.
The attack launched by this group of soldiers against him was almost impossible to break through.
What's more, he also has the 10/adamantine damage-reducing armor given by Olaf's Holy Axe. Even if he is hit once or twice occasionally, the damage caused is negligible.
Gao Fei deliberately fell into a tight siege and sold his meat and was beaten in order to trigger "tit for tat".
By spending a reaction action, he can immediately counterattack his target.
Goofy has also mastered "Combat Reflexes", which allows him to gain an additional number of counterattacks equal to his agility modifier each round.
In human form, dual-wielding great axes, the attack range is 10 feet.
When Gao Fei transformed into a super large red dragon, as his size increased by two levels, the size of the holy ax also expanded simultaneously, and the attack range was extended to 30 feet.
When the ax is swung, it's not just the target of the counterattack that suffers.
Within 30 feet, the orcs and wargs were chopped to pieces, all were affected, and their heads were flying everywhere.
Who else dares to hit me?
Try hitting me!
Okay! It’s you, boy, you’re brave enough!
Have a taste of your father's big ax!
Gao Fei smiled ferociously and launched "Tit for Tat" again, striking with an axe, and screams repeated.
The red dragon in violent state, agility attribute 17, modification 3.
Gao Fei can activate "Tit for Tat" up to 4 times in each round, so he feels that he still has more to say.
Anyway, orcs and wargs are fragile in his eyes. Instead of overflowing and wasting damage, it is better to have more counterattack opportunities.
In the next round, Gao Fei launched a wave of "Dragon Impact" as usual.
Before the dragon's breath had cooled down, he dived into the crowd and used the second strategic move of this round to perform "Whirlwind"!
The holy ax whirled across the 30-foot space around it. Wherever it passed, all the orcs and wargs were brutally cut in half, and their heads were missing!
After the killing spree, Gao Fei returned to his own position on foot.
On the way, he switched from "furious" to "rage" mode, and his attributes became: strength 37, agility 32, constitution 32, intelligence 10, perception 16, and charm 18.
32 points of agility attribute, providing 11 additional reaction actions per round. Isn’t this a huge blow?!
The giant red dragon wielded the holy ax with its claws, slashing and slashing all the way, killing heads and making rivers of blood flow.
After two attempts, Gao Fei confirmed that this strategy of selling meat in exchange for counterattack was feasible, but it also had shortcomings.
If you can also use "Whirlwind" during counterattack, Gao Fei will be able to sweep all enemies within 30 feet around, greatly improving the efficiency of killing enemies.
Unfortunately it can't.
For now at least, Whirlwind can only be activated by spending a standard attack action.
If you want to use reaction actions to launch this move, you must learn the advanced specialty of "Whirlwind" - "Great Whirlwind"!
At that time, Gao Fei's unique tactic "Counterattack Storm" will be considered to be in perfect form.
Gao Fei rushed into the enemy group alone mainly to experiment with new tactics.
Unexpectedly, it also received an unexpected effect.
The defenders on the position were deeply inspired to see their own commander taking the lead and charging ahead personally, with corpses lying on the ground, showing their unstoppable courage. They followed Gao Fei and counterattacked bravely, repelling waves of enemy attacks that came like a tide.
An offensive.
The anxious offensive and defensive battle continued until dusk. Gao Fei led his troops to withstand Gelmir's spell bombardment and the crazy attack of the ice tower army.
When the sun was about to set, a desolate and solemn horn sound came from the north, echoing in the twilight sky.
The rapid sound of horse hooves was like spring thunder, and the reinforcements from the Asa Tribal Alliance finally arrived.
3,000 Æsir hunters appeared on the flanks of the battlefield, like a wedge cutting through the troops on one side of the ice tower, cutting them in half.
When Gao Fei saw this scene in the air, he immediately became energetic and quickly ordered a counterattack across the board, cooperating with reinforcements to divide and surround Schroeder's troops and annihilate them one by one!
General Schroeder also realized that the situation was not good at this time, and quickly ordered the troops to withdraw to the lakeside camp and switch from offense to defense.
In order to allow as many troops as possible to successfully break out of the encirclement, General Schroeder led the Guards to personally take charge of cutting off the rear and covering the retreat of his men.
When the ice tower army began to retreat, the outcome of this battle was already decided.
Gao Fei received a system prompt and learned that his side had achieved a staged victory, and the battle mode of this chapter ended here.
As the commander-in-chief of the winning side, Gao Fei receives the buff "Victory Pursuit" and has advantages in attack, attribute and saving throws.
As usual, the next step is to pursue the enemy general in a duel.
Gao Fei remembered the last battle in Holy Ax Town. After winning the battle, he also received the buff of "Pursuit of Victory".
At the same time, the defeated general, Old White Dragon August, was given the debuff of "The Defeated General" and was disadvantaged in all tests.
This time there was something unusual.
A system prompt was received immediately, causing Gao Fei's expression to change slightly.
"The enemy general Schroeder personally cut off the rear, showing extraordinary courage, and his own morale was not affected by the defeat!"
