A group of hunter players couldn't help but be stunned after hearing what the old demon said.
"Boss, what do you mean, let us get back on our mounts before the centaurs get here?" A hunter player named Feng Ling Si Xian was the first to react and asked the old demon in surprise.
.
"That's right!" The old demon nodded and said, "What I want is for you to use the shortest possible time to get back on your mount when the attack is over! Then start running back!"
"Let me calculate it for you!" The old demon simply sat on the ground: "The speed of your ghost wolf mount is 20 meters per second, which is equivalent to the process of chasing and running. Every second, you can and half
The centaurs open a distance of 4 meters. After 25 seconds, the distance between you and the centaurs will return to the original point of 100 meters. At that time, you can immediately dismount and repeat the attack action. Although the sniper skill
It is temporarily unavailable, but since it is still within your attack range during these 100 seconds, you can also switch to other skills to attack at will."
The old demon finally concluded: "This is equivalent to an alternative kiting tactic! It is only achieved by relying on the mount. It is much faster than simply running with your running skills! If you take the time to mount the mount,
The shorter it is, the shorter the time to draw out the maximum attack distance will be."
"Is this...is this possible?" Feng Chime Sixian hesitated and expressed the thoughts of the hunter players: "Didn't the official website say that mounts cannot be summoned in combat?"
"No, no! You have misunderstood this sentence!" The old demon said with a smile: "In fact, I was a little confused by this sentence at first, but yesterday I found someone to test it, and I couldn't summon the mount.
It actually means that you enter a combat state when you are attacked, rather than launching an attack and entering a combat state!"
"In other words, if you can guarantee that you are not hit by any attack! Then you can summon the mount! Do you understand?" The old demon said: "Such a setting, I guess, is for the system to prevent high-speed
Players who mount use their mounts to escape from the battlefield during combat. In that case, if there is a high-speed mount, basically no one can kill it."
"But, if I follow what you said, boss, and use this kind of mount kiting tactic, wouldn't the archers be invincible!?" After the hunter players figured out what the old demon meant, they suddenly shouted in surprise: "If that's true
If you can do what you said, keep shooting at a distance, wouldn't it mean that no one can hit it?"
There is a reason why the players are so surprised, because the hunter's long-range attack range is the longest. After the bonus of talent points, no one can catch up with the distance of 100 meters. Even the magician, who is a long-range profession, has the longest attack range.
It's only 70 meters away, and it's simply out of reach... If it's true as the old demon said in theory, relying on the speed of the mount to continuously widen the distance, and then turning back to shoot, this tactic is really invincible.
However, this was just their understanding, but the old demon said with a smile: "How is this possible? Haven't you discovered why I brought you to Sunset Plains? It's because this tactic has a shortcoming, it requires
There’s plenty of room to move around!”
It is undeniable that the tactics of horse archers are indeed powerful, but as the old demon said, such tactics can only be used on flat plain terrain at most, because once they reach other harsh terrains, the mounts will be affected by the terrain.
The movement speed is reduced, and if there is not much movement space around you, you cannot reach the maximum attack distance with the enemy, so it is easy for the enemy to catch up, and this tactic becomes useless.
Being awakened by the old demon, Feng Zing Si Xian and a group of other hunter players suddenly realized.
In fact, the idea of horse archers existed very early in ancient China. The old demon only thought of it after discovering the ghost wolf's rapid movement. It is precisely because he is not a very experienced gamer.
As a long-term veteran player, he was not affected by previous game modes, so his thinking was more active, and he actually came up with the idea of recreating this horse archer in the game.
Of course, it is precisely because the horse archers have such high terrain requirements that Lao Yao does not plan to train too many. Such horse archers can only be used as surprise troops. They may have good effects on the battlefield.
Think about it, when these twenty-four hunter players stand far away and launch sniper attacks at the same person, how many of them can escape? And when the opponent's teammates want to chase them and kill them
When he turned around, he found that they had already returned to their mounts, ran away quickly, and then distanced themselves and continued to fire arrows. I am afraid that many people will suffer from headaches... Harassing and restraining, this is what the old demon wants.
The result that the horse archers want to achieve.
"Okay, now that everyone understands what I mean, let's try it out!" The old demon stood up and said: "If you can control your riding movements for two to three seconds, then...
It’s almost done.”
The hunter players couldn't help but gasp after hearing the old demon's words. Although the old demon said it easily, in theory, when the mount is summoned, there needs to be a second of guidance time, and you have to raise your hand to make it appear where you want.
It still takes 0.5 seconds to reach the position. It takes one second to turn over and ride up, right? Therefore, Lao Yao's statement is theoretical. If we really want to achieve such a tight time control, players must go through it.
A lot of practice is not enough.
"Then, now is the actual combat exercise!" The old demon turned over and rode on the back of Heishan, looked at a group of hunters and players standing on the ground, and said: "Wait a moment after I call start, you will attack those within your attack range together.
The centaur fired at will, and after shooting the arrow, he immediately summoned his mount, then turned around and ran back, do you understand?"
"Understood!" the hunter players replied in unison, nervous but also a little excited. They knew very well that this was actually the old demon training everyone's cooperation. They were very interested in this and wanted to try everyone's skills.
How much cooperation can be achieved, but I am afraid that one person will be uncoordinated and lead to chaos, so I am a little nervous.
After seeing that they were all ready, the old demon immediately shouted: "Start!"
Suddenly, the hunters and players raised their bows and arrows one after another. Although it looked quite neat, in fact, the old demon had already noticed it, and many of them were still a little slow!
This is actually related to everyone's nerve reflexes, just like when sprinting, athletes don't start at the same time when they hear the sound of gunshots.
Lao Yao didn't pay too much attention to this point. As long as the slow-motion of such movements did not exceed one second, there would be no problem. We are all ordinary players. If we want their movements to be completely unified, it would be too harsh.
.
Ten seconds later, with the whistling sound of arrows, twenty-four sniper skills were activated. Although it seemed that they were all shot at the same time, because someone was already slow when they started, the arrows shot
The branches also come first and then later.
At this position, there are three Hobbit centaurs within the attack range of the hunters. The one at the front is more unlucky and was hit by sixteen arrows in a row. The sniper skill is the strongest attack skill of the hunter profession.
, and some of the sniper skills of players of this level have been upgraded to level 2, and the damage has been increased a lot, so the old demon saw a series of huge damage numbers coming out of the centaur's head from a distance, with the middle
Following several critical hits, tens of thousands of blood were immediately knocked out, and he was instantly killed.
For players over level 30, it is indeed easier to kill level 24 monsters.
The remaining two centaurs who were hit by arrows immediately ran towards this side because they were attacked. Although their warning range was 53 meters, they were active attacking monsters and would be targeted at monsters that appeared in the area.
Players within 53 meters of it launch attacks. This is the concept of warning range. Once attacked, they will chase them no matter how far away they are.
"Okay! Get on the mount quickly!" the old demon shouted.
In fact, he didn't need to remind him. The hunter players, who had already been prepared, immediately summoned their mounts after releasing their sniper skills.
The old demon has been watching the system time next to them. From the time the skill was released to the last person summoning the mount, it took the hunter players less than 5 seconds in total this time, about 4.5 seconds!
Very good, although it has not reached the ideal situation, it has made some progress!
In 4.5 seconds, a high-speed monster like the centaur could already cover a distance of nearly 82 meters. Players saw the centaur running towards them with the sound of thundering hooves, and hurriedly controlled their mounts to turn around.
It took another 0.5 seconds to turn around... If the player is attacked on the mount, he will be forced to dismount. Therefore, for a full 5 seconds, the original distance of 100 meters was closed by the centaur.
90 meters away, if the centaur is given one second, they can prevent the hunters and players from sitting on their mounts... The scene is quite tense. Seeing the centaur less than 10 meters behind him, the hunter
The players hurriedly controlled the ghost wolf under their seats to run away.
As soon as they started running, the centaur would naturally not be able to catch up with everyone. This was for sure. However, the old demon hid aside and found that when everyone ran like this, their formation suddenly became chaotic.
If the formation is messed up, the players in it will not be able to use the speed of their mounts, and will be blocked by others... The old demon did not bring it up at this time. At this time, everyone's nerves were a little tense, even if
Even after I mentioned it, they didn't know how to adjust it, so the old demon just chose to watch silently.
However, the next question came again. Although everyone knew that such a kite had to run in a straight line to be able to distance itself from the monster, but they understood that they had forgotten one thing. On this plain, there were still
Centaurs are also being refreshed in other places... Not long after the chase, the players were surprised to find that there were more and more centaurs following them!
That's because the monsters they attracted when they ran past the warning range of other centaurs... "Wow! Boss! Help!" The hunters suddenly shouted, not knowing what to do...
