The first person to notice the invading enemy was the depths of the jungle that no one had set foot in. Liu Yifei estimated that it was to the east of where the wild dwarf tribe might be located.
Even before the battle with the wild dwarf ended, the scouts sent out by Wilkes had already brought back information, but everyone's attention was focused on the "crazy wild dwarf" and Liu Yifei.
It wasn't until the battle was completely over, and Liu Yifei even stripped off the wild dwarf's clothes in front of everyone, that the scout found an opportunity to present the previous information - looking at it this way, the opponent might have actually encountered the player team led by Liu Yifei at the beginning.
We had already sent people to explore here, but later we encountered Wilkes and others, and then we adjusted the direction of the pursuit...
It's just that Liu Yifei still expected that "there will be pursuers behind him", but when did the ambush appear on the retreat?
The other party moves so fast?!
And when the shrill and eerie laughter sounded in the forest, Liu Yifei guessed the identity of the other party - the harpy!!
The well-known "cruit guards", "shadow hunters", and "inhumane greedy witches" in Negan's camp...
Even the notorious pirates and bandits of the opposing camp owe a large part of their titles to these half-human, half-bird monsters with extremely vicious and ferocious personalities!
The harpy has a light body and is not known for its strength, but it has an amazing talent for flying - can you believe that these damn things can actually fly upside down?
The extremely flexible flying ability, coupled with the natural sonic nature of the spell-like talent, can easily cause confusion around the target, or simply stun the opponent directly.
Then they swarmed up in staggering numbers, using short blades, daggers and other light weapons in their hands to cut the prey into pieces...
In the "darkest hour" of Erathia in the future, the reputation of these harpies is even worse than that of the God of Death, and among players, it is so bad that people want to beat them up - because no matter how big or small human beings are,
Refugees, as long as they are targeted by these evil monsters, they will never escape.
Either the opponent slowly plays with him until he becomes tired and weak, and then kills him at the neck.
Otherwise, the other party will attract other terrifying creatures from the Dark Alliance... In short, the result will be death~
The Devil's Hound and the Shadow Banshee are the two most troublesome hunting units on the future battlefield.
What Liu Yifei didn't expect was that his first "close contact" with the opponent in the battle would be in this situation - it happened suddenly, and he was really not prepared at all!
In the future, players will design many tactics specifically to deal with hateful monsters like harpies, but they will either require some specific props, or the caster will have to do it himself. Currently, a team of twenty or thirty people is just a handful of soldiers.
It can have more than half of the long-range firepower, but looking at the posture on the other side... at least hundreds of harpies have been dispatched!
This is a bit troublesome...
It's not that the elites from the escort army can't even deal with the second-order harpies, but the problem is that these harpies are extremely troublesome! The abilities of harassment, control, and sneak attacks have almost become instinctive! I prefer to rely on them.
Flexibility and maneuverability to play with the target ~
If they interfered for a while and an encounter with the invading enemy occurred... Liu Yifei was not even optimistic about the ability of the group of "students" in front of him to survive in a chaotic battle.
Although high-intensity training can indeed improve everyone's actual combat effectiveness, and strict elimination standards ensure that everyone present has nothing to lose...but the chaos of fighting on the battlefield and the hard work in the training camp are two completely different things.
Otherwise, with the training of hundreds of people every year, how many truly talented people can you see finally growing up to the level of success and fame?
And in the process, countless people will die young on the cruel battlefield in the future...
"Make a circle formation! Give up the shield in the inner circle and lock the gaps in the armor of the people on the outside to prevent anyone from accidentally being captured by those banshees!"
"What? Form a formation?? But this is a forest terrain with dense obstacles. Doesn't forming an formation here mean that we actively give up on breaking out? We will be killed here!"
"That's better than being chased by the opponent one after another! Do you know the life-kill ratio of Harpies on the battlefield? They have been waiting for us here for a long time. It is like a dream to escape like this.
!
It’s better to calm down and hold on to the enemy’s offensive. As long as we hold on to the situation, Lord Edric will definitely send rescue!!”
When the crisis broke out, there was obviously a major conflict between Liu Yifei's experience and Will Case's tactics: Liu Yifei favored on-site defense to prevent people from being "taken away" by the harpy one by one after the formation was loosened, while Will's
From beginning to end, Case wanted to break through the enemy's obstruction with strength...
Unfortunately, even if he already paid attention to the other party, at such a life-and-death moment, Wilkes could not trust the lives of his men to the decision of a new soldier.
This does not even involve issues of contempt and contempt, it is simply that a commander cannot easily trust the decision of an "outsider" that has not been tested in actual combat and has not been fully recognized by everyone.
Without even much hesitation, Wilkes strongly rejected Liu Yifei's suggestion, as if she was not the one who praised him so much just a moment ago.
Faced with this situation, although Liu Yifei was anxious, he could not think of seizing the command of the team.
It's one thing to have private feelings, it's another thing to reveal his official identity when the battle is over. No matter how impatient he is, if he dares to disrupt military discipline at this time, he may first face Wilkes' arrow.
Feng, this is something Liu Yifei would not dare to do under any circumstances...at least not right now~
Under Wilkes' command to charge and break through, the entire army quickly gathered into an irregular array of arrows, barely maintaining their formation in the woods, and pounced first on the group of harpies blocking the retreat -
—
"ah!!"
The leading shield guard roared and charged forward, but he was not even touched by the other party's wanton ridicule.
The harpies waved the daggers in their hands, spinning around lightly as if watching an idiot dance. Three of them even landed on a nearby high branch together, making a piercing and noisy sound like crows.
"Shut up!!!"
The soldier raised his head and roared, but the next moment he suddenly felt an invisible shock wave hitting his head hard. Even with the protection of his helmet, the cone-like impact hit him subconsciously.
But the terrible thing is that during this moment, when the helmet blocked the line of sight for a moment, in the area behind the warrior that was out of sight, there were two harpies with sinister smiles, and they suddenly pounced like silent ghosts.
Come up!
Whoosh whoosh~
At the critical moment, the sound of random "arrows" piercing the air startled the two harpies, and the next moment they were hit by a heavy rain of stones, causing pain in their backs.
There were also some stones that crackled on the back of the armor of the warrior in front. It did not cause any damage, but it effectively reminded the opponent, causing him to subconsciously turn around and look over - but he was shocked when he turned around!
It turned out that the two sneaky harpies had already approached less than two meters behind him!
If this is one step slower, I'm afraid the sharp blade in the opponent's hand will try to penetrate into the gap in the armor around his waist...
"Go to hell!"
The warrior roared in shock and anger, but the one-handed sword he swung away failed to injure the opponent at all. Although the violent rain of stones hurt the opponent, it did not cause any injuries. It could be ignored by curling one's lips.
Damage, how can it limit the opponent's flying ability?
This is the reason why Liu Yifei disagrees with Wilkes's breakout - this group of soldiers starts with an average price of three, and it is estimated that they can have fourth-level combat effectiveness. It stands to reason that dealing with second-level enemies is just a trivial matter - but then
It also depends on who you are facing~
If it were Diya's second-level zombies, or even Krorod's second-level wolf cavalry unit, Liu Yifei would raise his hands in favor of everyone's decision to pounce on them and kill them!
In a head-to-head offensive and defensive battle, do you really think that the only human elites selected from a million are vegetarians?
But the key point is that creatures like harpies are too insidious!
Their evil has already penetrated deep into their bones, and they are the most typical part of the dark world under Negan's rule.
Will they fight the human swordsmen head-on in an upright manner and block the enemy with their own bodies?
Stop making trouble~
They will only use their experience and dark instinctive wisdom to cling to this group of inexperienced recruits, and then when the other party makes mistakes again and again, they will use their deadly blade hidden under the despicable and ugly side!
This is a group of despicable hunters who are used to fighting "dirty" battles! It can be said that they are the most unsuitable targets for elite members of the academy like Wilkes - because the other party's code of conduct, way of thinking and personality are all inconsistent with theirs.
The growth trajectories are quite different.
If they rashly collide with such an enemy, these elite human beings who have not officially been on the battlefield will probably suffer heavy losses...
Fortunately, the opponent's number was only one or two hundred. If there were more, Liu Yifei was afraid that he would have to detain Wilkes and force her to change the order - because if there were more enemies, I'm afraid they would
Just rushing forward so recklessly is really a gift...
Fortunately, Liu Yifei noticed the movement here just now and came to help in time, otherwise the careless soldier would have been injured by the harpy's sword~
But soon, Liu Yifei also noticed the situation on the field - just as he expected, even a veteran of the second period suddenly encountered this group of "female hooligans" in the dark army, and couldn't help but panic. More than ten people
The charging group didn't even run thirty meters away before it was intercepted by the opponent...
But Wilkes also has her shrewdness and uniqueness:
Where is Wilkes strongest right now?
That is of course her excellent archery skills that have been carefully trained by Ou Ling!
It can be said that if it were just a comparison of "archery skills", not to mention soldiers, even if all the generals in service were counted, few would dare to beat Wilkes with confidence.
And even if the comparison scope is narrowed to long-range attack accuracy, threat level, etc., among the middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers of Erathia, Wilkes is definitely the most outstanding one!
In terms of long-range attacks, Wilkes has really begun to get involved in the category of "master"...
Therefore, Wilkes took full advantage of her strengths and gathered around her a dozen or so "shooters" with whom she was most familiar and who had had a lot of training and tacit understanding from the very beginning, and formed a "shooting team".
The backbone firepower of "Charge Breakthrough" - and their goal is not to directly kill the opponent's fatal attack, but to become a "threat shot" to cover their teammates!
The long-range troops changed from offensive to defensive. This flexible style of play even made Liu Yifei's eyes shine. Even if there were similar examples of battles taught in the tactics class, they were among the absolute few. Wilkes was able to perform like this on the battlefield.
, which definitely shows his rich combat experience and his wisdom in knowing people and making good use of them~
And the harpies are completely unable to parry the threatening shots fired by the third and fourth level experts - after all, their bodies are too weak and powerless. Compared with their flexibility and agility, they are inferior in physique, defense and strength.
The performance is quite bad~
Even if the human archers on the opposite side draw their bows repeatedly, the power of the arrows is not enough to cause fatal damage to them, and the dark and despicable harpy will never get used to exposing herself to the rain of arrows.
After being stunned by the opponent's "rain of arrows" in the first three waves, the harpies began to scream and retreat - because in addition to the enemy's covering threatening shots, their "sisters" were also hidden.
The sharp archer among humans killed three of them with precision and seriously injured more than a dozen!
Even if the Harpy's side has a large number of people, the killing speed is really terrifying...
Naturally, the banshees also discovered Wilkes, who was an extraordinary shooter in the archer team, and even launched a forceful charge at him - but his opponent actually fired three arrows!! The arrows flying out of the finished font killed him on the spot.
One seriously injured three companions...
That giant bow obviously has extremely amazing power, and it can actually cause the arrows flying from it to directly pierce a not too weak banshee warrior more than 20 meters away...
After Wilkes and more than a dozen shooters managed to hold down the position, on the other side, Liu Yifei also ushered in the most glorious moment since today's unsatisfactory journey - he actually played on the battlefield where banshees were rampant.
An invincible drama of seven in and seven out!
If Wilkes and the others suffered from a slight lack of actual combat experience, then Liu Yifei just represents the other extreme - he is the real old YB on the battlefield, the kind who never grows old or dies~
And his strength seems extremely strong at the moment. After all, compared to the second-level harpy, Liu Yifei is definitely not weak!
In terms of physical strength, he is not weak, and in terms of experience, he has already left the opponent eight streets away! If he doesn't show off this fiercely, then Liu Yifei will really waste the opportunity that Wilkes fought for...
