Needless to say, Qiao Shan, the NPC intermediate alchemist also knew that the current situation was extremely tense.
The hastily constructed defense line looked extremely thin, and the "refugees" rushing over the mountains and plains had lost their minds. Under the warning shots from here, they still rushed towards the defense line despite the rain of arrows.
Close, close.
You can already see the refugees rushing to the front.
They are already scared, including indigenous NPCs, players and tourists.
They rolled on the ground, using the corpses of their companions as shields and crying bitterly. They were howling and screaming. There was blood, fire, and corpses everywhere... It was like a hell on earth.
It's also interesting when these two different genres collide.
Another round of concentrated fire, the power is much better than the larger amount of arrow rain, the mage can't bear the strongest output... but it's useless.
The light infantry had to use fighting methods that they were not good at to fight and exchange with the enemy.
How to characterize it is a question for the future, and we can no longer worry about so much now.
Woo~~
Two seconds later, he came back and caught him in mid-air.
As soon as a player ranger shot an arrow, a twisted shadow appeared behind him. A black light flashed on his neck, and a white light lit up.
Is it because they have a goal that they must hold on to?
"ah!"
Seeing that the morale of the army was shaken, the chaplain of the army began to loudly preach the necessity of this move, and chanted the name of the system god fanatically, desperately trying to boost morale.
Now players are studying how to break through the opponent's heavy equipment advantage, make up for their own weaknesses in attack, and completely master the air superiority on the battlefield.
But after the outbreak of all-out war, this understanding was subverted by the enemy.
Ten minutes later, reinforcements finally arrived, and the enemy saw that there was nothing they could do and decisively withdrew.
"Fight, leader!"
"Damn it, fight them!"
[Stand-in Doll] The transformed shadow was torn to pieces. Qiao Shan broke away from the bull-helmeted enemy, and faced another opponent wearing a silver mask.
In this way, the biggest advantage is lost - speed and flexibility, and you have to fight the enemy in a dignified formation.
——If they rush up in such a mess, there is no need to fight.
"Captain!?"
The light cavalry had to adopt a dense formation, firmly guard the sky above the resurrection formation, bend their bows and arrows, and unleash a deadly rain of arrows on the enemy.
The enemy turned the heavy hammer into an embroidery needle and pierced his chest like a poisonous snake.
But behind the defense line, especially the sky above the resurrection circle construction point, it was still calm. But Qiao Shan did not dare to be careless at all. He was extremely nervous and paid attention to every tiny abnormality in the large airspace.
The ownerless griffons were wailing. Without their master, they were at a loss as to what to do. The cruel battle made them frightened and uneasy.
But the air battle taking place now is extremely detrimental to Qiao Shan's 'light cavalry'.
But at this time, only about twenty of the hundreds of 'Qingqi' were still standing in the sky above the resurrection formation. Everyone was injured, their physical strength was at the bottom, and most of them only had a layer of blood left.
In a real war environment, the black-and-white classification of players and monsters is increasingly revealing its limitations. In this situation, if an attack is launched against one's own people, how to characterize it is a problem.
The enemies came too fast and too close, and the mages did not have time to chant powerful spells. They generally prepared commonly used PK skills such as [Fireball], [Ice Roar], and [Single Lightning]. If you give them
If you give them enough time and jointly chant special spells for air combat such as [Medium Energy Energy Field] and [Group Gravity], the results will be completely different.
The players and tourists are doing pretty well, although we don’t know where they will be resurrected, but the native NPCs are in dire straits.
But there is a big difference between air combat and ground combat.
Qiao Shan received the mission and spent 5 minutes gathering together the 100 griffin knights allocated to him. Due to the sudden outbreak of the war, many of them were incomplete.
…
No one is willing to be a green leaf, and no one wants to burn themselves to illuminate others. The immersion has not yet reached that level, but the Canaanite natives are different, because they have no choice, or in other words, they have no choice conditions and consciousness at all.
This is not the case on the player's side. Air combat involves long-range pursuit, entanglement, and mutual shooting. After a battle, there are many casualties on both sides, and the duration of the battle is short. What really determines the outcome of the battle is what happens on the ground.
As a last resort, Qiao Shan could only use a substitute.
A large group of enemy griffin knights suddenly rushed out from the "group invisibility" spell effect. This time, it was not a few people who were destroying it, but they were preparing to destroy the resurrection circle that was about to be completed.
Melee professions, especially physical professions, are not suitable for aerial combat. The hands are too short and cannot reach the opponent, so they can only be kited, which is uncomfortable.
Qiao Shan had no time to worry about the situation on the ground battlefield. The air battle had reached a critical moment, and there was no way the enemy could bomb the resurrection array on the ground.
When the tangled electric snakes of flames, hail, and lightning retreated, most of the enemies rushed out and engaged the 'light cavalry' at the front in close combat.
"shoot!"
Qiao Shan was extremely nervous. He raised his right arm high in the array and spoke in a long tone.
ah!
The cruel test has come.
"..."
The player's griffon was easily knocked away. Several whines sounded in the air, and the enemies launched attacks on the back of the griffon. Some disappeared, some left afterimages that rushed towards the opponent, and some were brandishing heavy hammers.
...The crispy light infantry did not miss a single blow, and white lights flashed continuously.
At the beginning, players were completely unaccustomed to this "reckless" fighting method. The "light cavalry" were caught off guard and were reduced to stragglers by the "heavy cavalry". After a battle, they often suffered heavy losses.
"Well done, Lao Qiao!"
Fear, cowardice, not daring to turn around and fight to the death with the enemy.
There are hundreds of gryphon knights, except for Qiao Shan and a few priests, almost all of them are rangers and mages. However, their opponents, even the gryphons on their crotches are one size larger than theirs. They are really heavily armored.
, transformed into a swarm of tanks in the air and launched a charge here.
Damn it, it’s not done yet!
Just when Qiao Shan was distracted, a burst of chaos suddenly broke out below. It was a few sneaking 'Night Walkers' who somehow managed to cross the defense line and avoid the sky's surveillance. They blended into the craftsmen building the resurrection point and went crazy.
Kill people and destroy at the same time.
As soon as the battle begins, casualties begin to occur. Without the resurrection circle being constructed, dead players and tourists will be moved to the rear, unable to support the ongoing battlefield.
The leader of the Great Water Hose Corps still showed his courage, "Hit me, beat me hard!"
Yes, players and tourists do have a spirit, consciousness, and soul quality that far exceeds that of the Canaanite natives, but when it comes to hard work, obedience, and even discipline,...
Resurrection array.
But as the war continued, and after knowing the characteristics of the opponent and making adjustments, the balance of victory and defeat shifted.
There are various types of indigenous air combat units. Generally speaking, melee occupations are the most popular. Because they have a source base, this has led to the fact that almost all of the air combat units they have developed are "heavy assault type".
Just have the order!
The long-range strikes that had been prepared for a long time started to come into effect. The crossbows of the militiamen and the large-scale damage skills of the mages and rangers covered a large area in front of the defense line. Boom boom boom... Under this indiscriminate strike, white light was densely packed.
's rise.
That is to say, focus on defense, focus on formation, focus on head-on confrontation, run over in a majestic formation or be crushed by the opponent, either win or lose. Regardless of the outcome, once an air battle occurs, the time is usually relatively short, and of course, it is also extremely dangerous.
Bloody and cruel.
The good news is that the enemy's small force is not equipped with such "heavy weapons". The war golem is so arrogant that the enemy's knights dare not take advantage of it. The players following behind take the opportunity to cover up and divide the enemy into dozens of pieces.
There were fierce battles on the ground and in the air at the same time.
——Too dependent on the resurrection point.
Qiao Shan's eyes bulged with anger, and he subconsciously wanted to go down and kill these bastards, but he still retained a glimmer of consciousness and said, "Don't move." Who knew that the enemy was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
The leader of the Great Water Hose Corps began to feel pressure.
"Mage prepares!"
The advantage of the heavy cavalry is reflected in this situation. Despite the high amount of damage, only a few heavy cavalry were unlucky and fell from the sky because their defense was breached.
The reason is simple.
Encountering such a heavy blow, the refugees behind were at a loss. Behind them was a butcher's knife, in front was a sea of fire, and there were dead ends on both sides.
The command channel was in chaos.
The longer the time goes, the more completely this shortcoming will be exposed. With the safe zone of the resurrection point behind, players will be more energetic. Even if their strength is very different, no matter how immersed and cruel they are, they can still compete with the enemy.
The arrows carried the tracer light of the skill, like meteors, bombarding the enemy's array, creating thousands of rays of light in an instant.
Thunder and lightning clashed with hail, strong winds and heavy rain swept across. The combatants on both sides were just like the rocks, vegetation and duckweed in this environment...
The sky suddenly turns bright and dark, sometimes it's thunder, sometimes it's rain, sometimes it's hail, sometimes it's strong winds... Most of the time, these spell effects appear at the same time.
really.
Qiao Shan's eyelids jumped as he looked at it. Looking in other directions, there was a fierce battle. The weak mage had to face a huge hammer, the fragile ranger had to contend with the elusive "Night Walker" at close range, and the priest finally
Attracting hatred, they have no time to worry about the life and death of others because they are cared for by the enemy. Divine spells, blessings, treatments, and status auras are all given to themselves.
When the resurrection points on the front line are destroyed on a large scale, death has a high cost for players and tourists. Under immersion and play, in a high-intensity combat environment, the human spirit and consciousness cannot always be
They were all guaranteed to be awake, which led to the current situation.
"well done!"
In this case, players all have concerns, so even though Kong has far greater numbers and strength than the enemy, the battle lines are still locked together.
In this way, players can take the initiative and advantage in air combat, and then regain the air superiority over their own positions, greatly supporting the ground battlefield.
But once something unexpected happens to this important base, the main window for accessing system functions, the dragon turns into a worm. The latest example is the refugees just now.
The 'light cavalry' began to give full play to their strengths in speed, hand length and convenient communication and command. They did not fight with their opponents in a grand formation, but turned into a sponge or a piece of cloth to wrap up the fists swung by their opponents.
Make use of swimming and the vastness of the sky battlefield to wear down the opponent's spirit little by little, and finally reap the rewards.
"ah!"
At this time, the front line of defense was already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Before the outbreak of all-out war, players' understanding of air combat belonged to the "long-range strike light-armor style". That is to say, most players believed that the professions that naturally qualified as air combat arms were long-range professions. This is easy to understand because there is no ground environment for performance in the air.
Well.
If we stick to the established method, this encounter will not need to be fought. Once this is lost, the position where the major counterattack is launched will be forced to move backwards, which will disrupt the steps of the entire campaign. Its responsibility will be a flood.
The leader of the Throat Corps is unwilling to bear this responsibility.
But at this time, I couldn't care about so much. I simply divided the 100 people into four teams, defended them from four directions respectively, and then rushed into the air.
Qiao Shan came back to report. He had not made up his mind yet. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. There was no room for him to waste time like this. The 'refugees' were about to rush forward.
This is how Qiao Shan's battle begins.
The enemy who succeeded in the attack was immediately attacked by players on the rear and flanks in the blink of an eye. He jumped off the struggling gryphon without hesitation and fell to the ground like a meteorite.
In the end, he led the reserve team with only 10 people left to block the heavily armored flying cavalry that had broken through his own front. It was as tragic as if he was using his flesh and blood to block the enemy's rolling wheels.
resurrection point,resurrection point
The formation was shaken in the blink of an eye. Qiao Shan gritted his teeth and roared on the command channel, not a step back, not a step back!
Many people inside the defense line showed unbearable expressions. This was a massacre, and they were killing their own people.
The leader of the Great Water Throat Corps patted Qiao Shan's shoulder heavily, "...Bring 100 Griffin Knights to protect the sky above the Resurrection Array, quickly!"
"I can't do it without fighting!"
Just after he struck an enemy with a minotaur helmet in a no-frills way, his 42 strength seemed like a joke, his arms swung up, and the hole was exposed.
More and more people started shouting along with him, and the shouts were loud enough. Finally, these refugees, who were already unconscious, found the correct escape direction and fled to the left and right as hard as they could.
The natives of Canaan do not have a professional system supported by magic nets and systems. Every indigenous professional has made breakthroughs through repeated battles and training. In addition, humans cannot compare with elves in archery. This is due to genes.
The shortcomings cannot be made up for in the future, which makes the profession of ranger rare among them, and this is precisely the strength of the system.
Qiao Shan had an idea and asked people to shout with him, "Spread out on both sides, spread out on both sides!"
Or the War Golem is at the forefront.
Qiao Shan: "..."
"Haha, it's exciting, isn't it? Isn't it completely different from dungeons and monster spawning?"
Qiao Shan: "..."
"Are you stupid?"
"Ignore him. You'll get used to it after a few more visits."
