The lens hidden in the darkness moved slightly, and the shadows of tall cypresses and fir trees were reflected in the arc-shaped field of view. The sky and the earth curved slightly, including three cautious shadows in the northeast.
The leader of the ranger team, wearing a long feather-like cloak, was crouching down with a birch long bow in his hand. His expression was focused, but he had no idea that he had entered other people's field of vision. One hundred and twenty meters to the west of him
Outside, Alyssa, hidden in the canopy of trees, threw a stone into the bushes in that direction, but the ranger captain had no reaction.
She changed direction again and extended the stone twenty meters forward, but the result was the same. The third time she stood up and tried her best to throw the stone as far away as possible in the three o'clock direction. This time the ranger captain stopped and raised the stone.
He signaled others to stop with his hand.
He looked in that direction, and the forest formed a huge cavity under his gaze. The interior was dark and empty. The trees became distorted under this view, becoming more and more unreal, but between the twisted trees were individual trees.
Red spots.
Some are fleeting, some are twisting and turning. The ones that flicker and disappear may be rodents in the forest. The twisting and turning ones are the traces left by a viper under the bushes. There are also some faint red spots, which are
Background sound in the forest.
The low chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the wind all leave dim red marks in this huge and dark field of vision, but only a truly experienced ranger can judge what he wants through the Night Owl's Vision.
The more complex the background sound is, the more difficult it is to distinguish——
Alyssa's pebbles rolled in the grass, leaving a bright red dot that quickly dimmed. It looked like the sound trail left by a fleeing turtle dove, so the Ranger Captain easily missed the sound.
The ranger captain made a gesture to his team members, indicating that the alert level in the forest to the west was level one. Behind him was an alchemist in a gray coat. A golden light flew out of his hand, hovering in the air for a moment, and then turned towards the alchemist.
Fly in the direction.
Alyssa held her breath and watched the golden light hovering over the forest almost thirty meters away from her for a week before flying back again, its trajectory disappearing into nothingness.
The forest is silent to ordinary people, but there are rich details hidden under the silence.
"Sound level six, hearing limit, sixty meters."
A voice passed through the forest.
The voice came again from a tiny crystal on Elisa's earlobe: "Miss Elisa, turn north at four o'clock, fifty meters. It stays in the shadow of the cedar tree there. It faces one hundred and twenty meters.
The ten degrees are all warning ranges."
Alyssa nodded slightly.
A vision from a higher altitude is capturing every plant and tree in the forest below. Although it lacks details, long-distance and large-scale movements are clearly visible.
The eye in the darkness also began to retreat equidistantly from the direction of the opponent's ranger's advance.
After the fleeting red light, the forest returned to silence. For the ranger captain, nothing changed. But he didn't know that beyond the limit of his hearing, a huge black area was forming.
.
Two blades of light disappeared behind the woods.
Those still visions reflected more figures.
Alyssa pressed her ears, observing that direction, and whispered to enrich the details.
The descriptions of the two people outline an almost complete picture——
In the mixed forest, the elites of the Dragon Fire Guild formed a sharp arrow in distinct layers. The vertex of the triangle at the front was a ranger leader, a combat craftsman, and a two-handed swordsman, forming the arrow of this sharp arrow.
On the left and right, a paladin and an iron guard protect the two wings.
From a broader perspective, there is another team in the northeast and northwest corners of this team. The three teams form a tripod, covering each other and carefully going deep into the forest.
At this point, although the Dragon Fire Guild has not noticed yet, the first round of fighting between the two sides has come to an end. However, for the Seven Seas Brigade, this result is not perfect.
Alyssa counted a total of sixteen people, but at least four people were still missing from their field of vision.
These four people should be nightingales, or similar professions.
Among the mainstream investigation professions in Aitaria, combat craftsmen and mages are mainly responsible for long-range investigation.
Among them, the combat craftsman is more comprehensive and proactive, with the ability to coordinate the battlefield, but his detection ability is also more fragile and easier to detect. The magician's detection ability is more passive, but safer and more secretive, and is often used as a defensive investigation.
Candidate.
As for Nightingale and Ranger, they are a pair of spear and shield that go hand in hand on the battlefield.
Without Nightingale, the combat craftsman's reconnaissance ability to survey the battlefield might be far superior to that of the ranger. But precisely because of the existence of shadow, the light of the ranger is more valuable.
After all, the combat craftsman lacks detection skills and related perception attributes. Just like the forest is clearly visible to Fang Plover, but he cannot distinguish what is lurking in the shadows under the forest.
.
Rangers, on the other hand, have the longest ability to distinguish details. They don't even need to look, they can detect everything in the darkness just by listening.
As for nightingales, it's not about how far they can see, but how close they can get. So even for square plovers, you still need to be careful about these eyes hidden in the shadows.
Alyssa, who was motionless at the moment, was just such an 'eye' - when she was motionless, the difference in levels was nothing, and with Fang Plover's 'vision advantage', she was one step ahead.
Found a 'colleague' from the Dragon Fire Guild.
The other party was hidden under a dense fern, moving quietly.
There are only seventeen people, and there are still three people left.
Elisa believes that there are more nightingales located in a direction far away from her.
However, she did not dare to change her position easily. The stationary Nightingale was often the most difficult to detect on the battlefield, but once it moved, the level gap of several levels would become a fatal weakness.
Therefore, even Fang Plover reminded her not to leave her observation position easily.
Fang Plover decided to find another way to launch the attack.
In fact, after experiencing so many battles, the different fighting styles of the Seven Seas Brigade gradually began to form an internal understanding.
At this moment, the Papalar people who were located in the east, after carefully observing the situation for a while, realized that their position was relatively safe, and began to actively try to move north and insert themselves into the side and rear of the Dragon Fire Guild Brigade.
Just because he was not skilled, he took a long detour to reach that direction.
Parker waved his short and chubby hands and feet, and after a lot of effort, he climbed up an ash tree there. He leaned his back against the tree trunk, set up the magic crossbow, then narrowed one eye and stretched out his right thumb.
, and gestured in the direction of the Dragon Fire Guild.
There are still words in his mouth.
When Fang Yu noticed this scene, he was slightly surprised.
Although the Dragon Fire Guild was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of investigation at this moment, the ranger leader was quite vigilant and kept the team moving forward on a straight line, not easily revealing any flaws.
Fang Yu thought for a moment and decided to cooperate with Parker in the battle.
He suddenly retracted his sight, held his glove in one hand, and adjusted the magic gimbal on it. Then he stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, and raised his five fingers slightly.
The wind blew in the forest.
Luo Hao raised his head and watched as a golden wind blew in the forest. The 'swarm' buzzed and flapped its wings, took off, flew into the air, and disappeared above the forest canopy.
Fang Yu noticed his distraction and said: "Protect me, there may be the other party's nightingales here, I can't find them-"
Luo Hao nodded, then put down the shield in his hand, holding it with both hands and standing it among the fallen leaves and soil.
North of the forest.
The Papalar man finally stopped mumbling, he took back his hand and muttered in a low voice as if talking to himself:
Then he raised the huge crossbow in his hand and fired three arrows into the sky above the forest.
Although the distance was far away, the huge and strange sound of the bow string vibrating attracted the attention of the ranger leader.
He turned his head sideways, and a flash of strong red light reflected in his eyes. The sound of breaking through the air formed three thin lines in his dark field of vision, causing him to raise his head and look above the team.
Then the next moment, the ranger leader dragged the combat craftsman beside him and jumped to the side. The two-handed swordsman on his side also reacted extremely quickly. He was only one step behind the ranger leader and rolled behind the black pine on one side.
.
Three stars descended from the sky.
Before the three crossbow bolts hit the ground, the timer on the explosive crystal was started. Three dazzling lights exploded over the forest. The magic spread like mist, with rushing flames. The forest canopy suddenly burned.
Rise up and bloom into a bright halo.
Wherever the halo passed, the pine needles evaporated and vaporized, turning into a sheet of charcoal ash, which fluttered and fell. The mist spread, as if a steam rain had fallen on the forest floor.
Through the vibration and dust caused by the explosion, a small golden object flew silently into the mist, and then disappeared.
No one noticed this scene.
The explosive shot of the crossbowman at level 15 is no longer as lethal as it was before. Although the explosive ranger, combat craftsman and two-handed swordsman are all affected to varying degrees, the impact is quite limited.
The other two crossbow bolts missed slightly, and the most seriously injured mage in the covered area was only thrown away by the shock wave of the explosion and rolled several times on the ground.
A few hundred points of shield damage is not a deterrent to a selector of this level.
What's more, for the members of the brigade, almost everyone has the best equipment of the guild, and their attribute values are even more extraordinary.
The healer immediately jumped up from the ground and ran towards the injured. But first an iron guard dragged him to the ground. There was a sound of wind and a crossbow bolt was fired from where the two of them were. In fact,
At this distance, for Parker, this arrow was like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
What's more, at the end of the crossbow, even if the arrow hits, it may not cause much damage.
But it instead exposed the location of the Papalars.
Without thinking, the ranger captain who was lying on the ground raised his longbow and shot an arrow in that direction - Parker had already shrewdly climbed between the tree trunks below, so the arrow passed through his head and was there.
explode.
The ether magic stored in the magic arrow exploded like a bubble, forming a cloud of magic dust. These powders did not have a physical form, and as soon as they fell on Parker, they immediately disappeared.
However, the ranger captain immediately made a gesture to a magician not far behind him.
The latter understood this and raised his hand. An invisible ripple swept forward with him as the center - detection magic. Wherever the ripple passed, the forest did not change at all.
But the Papalar people who were contaminated with magic dust lit up like a thousand-watt light bulb.
He was startled and hurriedly hid behind the tree trunk. Immediately behind him were two "bang bang" arrows, nailed to the tree trunk. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the ranger leader put away his bow. He raised his right hand and gestured silently to the others.
, indicating that there is only one person over there.
"Outflank left and right."
Among the five people on the front line of the Dragon Fire Guild, except for the combat craftsman who remained in place and released three clockwork fairies, the others immediately separated to the left and right, heading north along the forest and surrounding the Papalar people.
past.
Fang Plover watched this scene through his vision in mid-air.
At this time, he captured the position of the second Nightingale, twelve meters to the left of the opponent's Iron Guard, sliding towards Parker's direction like a shadow, and soon out of his sight again.
But he quietly let these people go——
When the second team of the Dragon Fire Guild followed Team Fengya and passed through this area, small golden balls suddenly swirled up among the dead leaves. They buzzed and flew towards themselves.
Recent goals.
Before the elites of the Dragon Fire Guild could realize what it was, a dazzling light was reflected in their eyes. The pure and flawless white light poured into everyone's eyes, replacing everything they saw at the last moment.
.
There was a loud noise.
The raging flames and exploding debris instantly engulfed the iron guard who rushed in front, the healer behind him, another ranger, and an elementalist, as well as the magician who had previously cast a spell with them.
The series of explosions were far more powerful than the previous explosive crossbow bolts of the Papalar people. After a golden glow, the howling wind almost caused the surrounding pine trees to fall in all directions.
The combat craftsman at the back was suddenly pushed out and hit a rock hard. He almost passed out with stars in his eyes. He raised his head with a splitting headache and saw that among the five people who had disappeared in front of him, only the magician was there.
One of Cun's hands flew out from the center of the explosion and landed in the soft coniferous forest.
The battle craftsman opened his mouth.
The moment the explosion occurred, the ranger leader in front turned around. A strong wind blew in his face, making his cloak rustle. He held down his cloak and realized that he had been ambushed by the other side.
However, he didn't have much regret in his heart - such an ambush was also expected, and the enemy would always lose the opportunity to take advantage of us in the dark.
They lost the mage group, but it was still acceptable.
The ranger leader made a calm judgment in his mind, and at the same time reached out to grab the two-handed swordsman who wanted to go back, and made a gesture to the other remaining team on the other side of the explosion:
"Go in a circle."
"Don't come directly, there's an ambush."
The people in the group understood and nodded to him from afar.
The ranger leader then patted his companion and spoke for the first time: "Continue to find the other party's crossbowman, don't let the other party lead you by the nose."
"We don't have much choice. We must seize the points that the other party has exposed and force the other party to show up."
The two-handed swordsman was startled, then nodded.
And in mid-air, looking at the Dragon Fire Guild's brigades separated on both sides, Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned. The other party's reaction was fast and the judgment was accurate, which greatly exceeded his expectations - you must know that the other party
But such a decision was made under the perceived absolute disadvantage on the battlefield.
He has seen countless classic battles, peak battles with big guilds, and impressive battles, but none of them surprised him at this moment. Because after all, they came from the Crown of the Silver Forest and from the Rose.
Crusader or elite hand.
But now it is just a brigade of the Dragon Fire Guild, but it has such a level.
All we can say is that the troupe is worthy of being a troupe, a place where elites gather.
Fang Plover suddenly stopped being scornful. With a move of his finger, a ray of golden light shot out from under the dead leaves and flew straight towards a group of people who were turning in that direction.
But a dexterous swordsman on the other side, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, suddenly turned around, drew his sword, and threw it backwards. The flying knife came out of his hand, like a bolt of lightning, shooting straight towards his clockwork fairy, and from it
Pass through once.
The clockwork fairies cut in half still kept flying forward due to inertia, and then they lost power and fell into the pine forest not far away.
When Fang Yu saw this scene, he understood that it was almost impossible for his efreet to hit these people head-on, and it was even difficult to get close. In the eyes of ordinary people, the alert and fast clockwork elves did not seem to be inconvenient in the eyes of these people.
Elusive object.
He immediately gave up the follow-up attack.
After entering level 20, various professions begin to exert their strength. The first strong period of combat craftsmen after level 15 begins to come to an end. It will not be until level 27 that ordinary combat craftsmen will usher in the second phase.
A period of strength.
Until level 40.
In Fang Yu's field of vision, the dexterous swordsman also stopped and looked in this direction with a frown. But the other party was obviously very cautious and did not intend to come over to check. He only turned around and said to his teammates:
"It's a bit like the demon thief's alchemy bomb, I don't know what it is."
"But the captain is right. There should be a lot of these things in the forest. We'd better avoid this direction."
Several people nodded together.
When Fang Yu saw them leaving, he looked north. He knew in his heart that this battle had just begun.
