In the dark dense forest, a black shadow suddenly danced!
These vague shadows are long and slender, but they seem to have invisible light wings, lifting their bodies to make various leaping and jumping movements among the branches~
Sometimes it's like a fish leaping over a dragon's gate, sometimes like a falcon flying in the sky, sometimes like an antelope leaping, sometimes like a cunning rabbit hopping~
Compared with their movements, the movement speed of these black shadows is extremely fast!
With just a few ups and downs, they had already traveled more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, like ghosts under the shadow of the trees. If they were not careful, they might lose their trace~
These swift walkers in the woods are the powerful elf archers among the third-level tree elves of the elven race!
Each of them is a natural master of archery. The longer they live in the forest, all the branches and roots seem to have become their bodies. No obstacles in the way of jumping can stop their actions, even to the point where the onlookers can't stop them.
People have an illusion.
That is, it is not these powerful elven archers who are avoiding trees or various overgrown branches, but these woods are quietly making way for these elves. Although they are not really moving, they really give people this vague illusion.
~
And this is evidence of the elves’ powerful field combat capabilities in the forest!
As the sons of the forest, the guardians of nature, and the apostles of life, these titles of elves are by no means in vain.
When fighting in a wild environment, even a more powerful being cannot defeat the elves.
But right now, these jumping elf shooters... are running away!
Yes~
Escape desperately!
Try your best to escape!
Although their movements were still graceful and their arrows were still shooting backwards, they were really being chased. To be precise, they were chased by a group of people...
"Fuck! These elves can really run away! It's really... I'm really chasing me to death..."
"Okay, stop complaining! Hurry up~
We managed to kill most of them, so it’s a pity to let them go like this! I heard that there is a boss in the group in front! I killed them all quickly, are all those guys in the back like rabbits? Are they chasing after them like this?
tight?
I didn’t get the first two bosses, so I can’t let them go this time~
Hold!
Following that little bitch Liuyun is really fucking fun. You can actually catch so many regular elves in just a few clicks! What a day~
You can gain a lot of experience and military achievements~"
"Um...boss, by the way, where have Liuyun's soldiers gone?
It seems like I haven’t seen it since just now, are you okay?”
"Fuck~
Are you a stupid idiot?
Of course it’s best not to see them!
If they were here, do you think it would be our turn to snatch them?
Unless all of us who don't follow them rush forward, standing in their way will mean death!
Have you ever seen that pervert with bloody hands who kills without blinking an eye?
Damn it~
Is that guy really a woman? She doesn’t look like it. I’ve never seen such a fierce woman..."
After successfully encircling and suppressing the enemy's first wave of reconnaissance regiments, Liu Yifei ordered the troops to gradually disperse.
In addition to retaining the most powerful mobile force in the center and the Corpse Witch troops holding strongholds in the rear, the rest of the troops, especially the player assassins, were dispersed little by little, spreading a huge reconnaissance network throughout the mountains and fields!
With the help of this reconnaissance network, intelligence from the Elf side was quickly transmitted back, and as long as Liu Yifei and the others got a few clues, they could immediately eliminate one or two of the opponent's troops.
Even though such a small weakening may not seem like much, the weakening of the opponent's detection strength is actually powerful!
Although the most powerful reconnaissance force among the elves should be the fourth-level Pegasus knights, in many cases the Pegasus knights’ detection intensity in dense forest areas is not as high as that of the elf archers. At the same time, the number of Pegasus knights is far less than that of the elf archers.
Compared to this, Liu Yifei's method of removing the opponent's investigators bit by bit is definitely the most powerful early blow to the enemy!
And just ten minutes ago, an enemy reinforcement force was captured by Liu Yifei and the others!
This time, the opponent's reinforcements were not low, and they directly sent two regiments with nearly a thousand people!
These include centaur spear throwers, elven archers and a small number of fifth-level dryads.
Although the enemy's strength has nearly doubled, it is still difficult to organize effective protection against Liu Yifei's group attack.
After the vampire army was formed, Liu Yifei's current military strategy became more and more simple and violent!
Under the leadership of the Blood Prince, the Bloodthirsty Marquis and Bloodthirsty Earl pounced immediately!
These vampires themselves are of high level, and their basic attributes are more powerful than those of the same level. Therefore, Liu Yifei went out of his way and gave these guys heavy armor without occupational restrictions!
Vampires are definitely mercenary units of the light spirit style. They rely on special effects to make a living. Their own strength is completely incomparable to swordsmen, ogres, horned demons, giant lizards and the like at the same level.
However, due to the much higher rank and grade, compared to the heavy armor series armor designed based on basic needs, it can still be barely used smoothly.
As a result, Liu Yifei "transformed" on his own into a deformed military unit. That was the "Heavy Armored Vampire"!
After experiencing the war of the human race, Liu Yifei increasingly realized the value of large-scale "cavalry" on the battlefield!
High mobility, high penetration, high survivability, and most importantly, it is an excellent suppressor of the enemy's long-range firepower. It is also a hidden threat to the enemy's complete military formation!
In a large-scale military confrontation, what a commander fears most is not that the enemy is far stronger than himself. But that his own military formation is completely torn apart by the enemy!
Once the military formation is torn apart, it will be difficult to ensure a good situation in which human shields protect long-range, heal and support defense, and spread firepower from long-range in battle.
It is very likely that the long-range unit will be stuck by the enemy's close assassin, and our physical human shield will be entangled by the enemy's magic unit...
In the previous dungeon of Lost Heroes, the reason why Liu Yifei was able to charge all the way from the periphery of the Sea of Dead to meet Lewinsky was because he had to resolutely hold on to the formation and not collapse no matter what!
At the beginning, due to improper countermeasures, they were not able to kill monsters very quickly. They were even gradually accumulated by the enemy to the point where the more than 30,000 remaining troops on the periphery had no time to destroy them!
This "30,000 enemies" does not mean that there are 30,000 enemies around them, but that there is a difference between their killing speed and the gathering speed of monsters, and the number gradually accumulates to 30,000!
In other words, during that period, the entire human race military force was always facing the siege of the sea of the undead with "more than 30,000 people"!
The fact that half of the battle was still not overrun by the enemy, and even Liu Yifei was given time to change his strategy and increase his firepower output, all depended on the stability of the "military formation"!
This thing sounds mysterious, but it is the most inevitable and primary problem on the battlefield!
The simplest thing is that if the army is in chaos, then this battle will basically be over~
Even the chaotic party's military advantage will be eroded little by little by the orderly and consistent opponent.
One of the important values of cavalry is that it can crash into the enemy's formation at high speed, forcing the opponent into chaos, and destroying the enemy's solid defense at the first opportunity!
Anyone who has been on the battlefield must know how difficult it is to cut through the enemy's defense line. The value of cavalry in this regard is far greater than that of melee units and long-range units!
Therefore, although cavalry soldiers consume a lot of money and require a lot of investment, the human race has been sparing no effort to support the continued expansion of cavalry!
The ghost tribe also has "cavalry", and the sixth-level Bone Knight series is a powerful existence comparable to the human knights!
Although the characteristics are slightly different, the entire eight tribes of the alliance admit that the black knights of the ghost tribe are definitely powerful!
Facing the hordes of black knights and even terrifying knights, no one can ignore the cold edge of their swords!
It's just that this kind of army is still out of Liu Yifei's reach at least for now, so Liu Yifei took a wrong approach and got a group of "heavy armored vampires"!
Small equipment such as shoes, belts, and gloves are all enchanted leather armor provided by the tauren tribe.
When it comes to leather armor, the craftsmanship of these tauren is indeed exquisite, and the equipment of the same quality is even better than the top-notch products made by players themselves!
Occasionally, there are also some excellent attributes that enhance the recovery of blood and magic.
What Liu Yifei and the Minotaur ordered were small pieces of equipment that could increase movement speed. The quantities were small, but the prices were high. Liu Yifei took them all away in one go. They were used to arm his current and future vampire troops!
The main armors such as the body, legs, and head are all made of rare heavy armor made by dwarves!
As long as the heavy armor equipment is made by an adult dwarf skilled craftsman, there is more than 70% chance that it will be exquisite equipment, and if it is made by an old dwarf with the "Master Craftsman" level in the dwarf tribe, there is more than 40% chance that it will be exquisite.
All are rare and strong!
Fortunately, Old George expanded the size of the dwarves to tens of thousands in one breath. This allowed hundreds of qualified "master craftsmen" to appear in Puni City, who worked non-stop to produce Armonina's arms orders every day.
Liu Yifei then carefully selected the best rare heavy armor from them and used them all privately to arm this "attack" vampire army.
A mere fifteen and a half vampires form an army. Their attack capability is definitely not inferior to that of three to five hundred low-grade cavalry!
Although it is impossible for vampires to have the "charge" effect of cavalry to block the enemy's frontal attack, their strong defense effectively reduces their losses. While charging, they constantly move to cover in a wave formation as much as possible.
Reduced damage per unit.
And as soon as it crashes into the enemy's army, the level of chaos caused is not even lower than that of a thousand cavalry!
After all, the cavalry must ensure mobility. When charging, the best option is to cut in from the side of the enemy and then pass through to ensure that the enemy does not block it from the front.
Vampires have no such worries at all!
The ability of blood-sucking recovery makes their ability to continue fighting even higher!
Although wearing heavy armor reduces the attack speed and blood-sucking amount to a certain extent, the increased defense power of top-quality rare-grade heavy armor is twice or even three times higher than that of leather armor of the same quality and grade!
In this way, the losses of the vampires are naturally reduced a lot~
The doubling of the vampire rate under the leadership of the vampire prince has given the vampires the terrifying power of monsters!
Just jump into the enemy group and the chaos will be completed in the blink of an eye!
In fact, it's just because the Marquis-level vampires are enough to be equipped with the same level of plate armor-type overweight equipment, otherwise Liu Yifei might directly turn these guys into flying plate-armored iron turtles!
But even so, Liu Yifei still risked reducing his movement speed and equipped the only two vampire princes in the team with a full set of heavy plate armor equipment!
The level of the equipment is more than fifteen levels lower than their own level, but the overall defense is more than twice that of the heavily armored vampires around them!
He really turned into an iron turtle that can fly and suck blood!
It's just that the movement speed has been reduced by one-third, which makes people speechless...
This is already a defensive power that only heavy knights or heavy infantry can have. Using this kind of thing on units like vampires who are not afraid of fighting... and not afraid of death is basically turning them into monsters!
And as long as the leading vampire troops cause chaos in the enemy, the subsequent attack force, led by the fifth-grade bloodthirsty earls and mainly composed of third-grade bloodthirsty barons, will fully attack!
When the enemy's military formation is in chaos and long-range firepower fails, these guys are the real reapers who sound the enemy's death knell...
But no matter how powerful and unstoppable Liu Yifei is, he still remembers his previous "promise".
That means taking only half of the opponent's heads.
When receiving goods, we must always be fair and just.
Even in order to take care of the mood of the tens of thousands of player troops, sometimes he only lets the player troops rush forward after completing the leading attack wave...
Of course~
They follow orders in an orderly manner!
During this process, the people Liu Yifei and the others commanded were also getting used to each other little by little. But if there is anyone who is malicious and disobeys the command, he will be free and loose in various ways to grab monsters~
So I'm sorry, the Death Team led by Yu Huangquan will be happy to chat with these guys~
Just before they successfully killed the enemy's two reinforcements, the number of "military players" who died at the hands of Yu Huangquan alone was no less than 300!
As a result, on the current battlefield, the main vanguard force led by Liu Yifei still has non-staff wandering players who dare to appear or follow them from time to time.
But as soon as they see Wu Huangquan and other players who are not under the command of Liu Yifei and the others, they immediately scatter!
Even the players who have been under the command of Liu Yifei and others and are getting used to the opponent's command rhythm and command mode are a little frightened, fearing that they will be targeted and killed by the "devil" if they do something wrong...
..
The escaping elves in front of us were lucky enough to escape from the previous battlefield, and were tagged by non-staff players who were waiting to take advantage. Then they were chased all the way here...
And what makes all the ghost players want to laugh out loud is...
I don’t know whether it was because the opponent ran in the wrong direction in panic, or because the NPC commander of these mercenaries died, so their actions were completely out of order.
These idiots didn't actually run towards the Elf camp in the north, but fled towards the west side of the main battlefield.
If the enemy was fleeing to the north, I'm afraid they would have entered the shelter area of the main elves by now, and these scattered ghost players with thousands of numbers would definitely not dare to pursue them.
But right now...
Hum ~
How can you let the fat go to your mouth without biting it?
While chasing and killing along the way, they successively killed several elves who were running away like crazy, which made this team of ghost players who were the hardest and fastest in pursuit feel inexplicably excited!
This is a fucking regular army!
Being chased by them like this...isn't that enough to brag about?
However, the pursuit here was enjoying itself. The team suddenly heard a burst of chaos behind them...
"Damn~ Don't you chase those rabbits anymore?
What are they all arguing about?
Aren't you afraid that this noise will attract the enemy's main force?
Fuck! A bunch of useless idiots~"
The boss in the team cursed with pride and disdain, and then burst into laughter~
However, the chaos behind him didn't seem to stop for a moment. Instead, it slowly became louder and louder, and even the attention of other people in the pursuit team couldn't help but turn their attention behind them.
Because, the chaotic and noisy sound was obviously getting closer and closer to them...
There was a sound of grass. A player dressed as an assassin suddenly fell out from the shadow of the tree, and then continued to run forward on his hands and feet!
As soon as he looked up, he saw a group of players in front of him who seemed to be in a group, all of them subconsciously stopped and looked back at him. This guy suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Fuck! Look at the yarn!
Run!
There’s a fucking dragon in the back!!!”
Is there a dragon?
People couldn't help but be a little stunned, as if they didn't understand the meaning of this sentence~
However, the next moment, before they could ask any further questions, a hurricane suddenly passed over their heads, causing the dense forest within tens of meters around them to roar. The wind pressure was so strong that there was an endless stream of sounds of branches being broken!
Hold!
What a fucking dragon!
Through the gaps between the branches above the dense forest, many people saw a huge dark green shadow passing by. At the same time, their system interface had reminded them that they were affected by the "lower dragon power", and various attributes
, the ability has declined.
But before those people who had just realized what happened could shout and run for their lives, the overwhelming dragon flames poured down like fire rain, and immediately ignited the forest with soaring flames...
