In the age of cold weapons, a war is often not as optimistic as people imagine.
Before being exposed to such face-to-face fighting, it is difficult for people living in peaceful times to speculate on the eyes of pairs of people wandering on the battlefield. The battle is a bone-chilling cold, biting, and sharp blade.
Inserting it into the throat, letting the blood splash and blending into the night - the dying man struggled hard, staring at the last scene he could see with sad and weak eyes. It should be a picture that gradually became dimmed and became still.
Then, because the blood foam choked back into the lungs, the injured coughed hoarsely, curled up and died in misery.
But there are still many people who take it for granted that the scenes in the novel's jokes are replaced with real fighting, just like the first players and later players in "Amber Sword". Of course, at that time, Brando also had a girl named "Sophie"
'Identity. He remembered that his first real battle in the past game unfolded in a funny and ridiculous way.
Unexpectedly, the two armies faced each other in a similar jungle - the Deldetar Forest. Brando still remembers that place, with dense jungle and winding along the steep and rugged coastline.
Stretching out and around, the opponents are hidden among the cliffs, through caves extending in all directions and they hide and seek slave traders with their private armies.
Because the real confrontation actually took place between elite scouts - the player's large army opened a beautiful skirmish line in the jungle in an orderly manner. Their number was about three times that of the slave private soldiers or even more.
More. But the balance of victory and defeat in the actual battle does not necessarily depend on the number of people. The beginning of the battle is accompanied by one-sided confusion among the players. This is natural - the team members and the organizer cannot find each other, and most of them
Most people can only form small teams and fight independently.
For several hours, both wings of the players were attacked, but the thousands of people in the center were only delayed by a small group of cavalry.
Yes, most people understand that the flanks are under attack.
But the problem is.
Where are the scouts?
Where are the wings?
When you put yourself in the shoes of a huge battlefield in the Cold War Age that is several kilometers wide, you will find that being able to overlook the entire battlefield from a 45-degree angle is not only a happy thing, but also a promising one.
An unattainable luxury.
Brando vividly remembered that at that time he was in a forest surrounded by his own people, with all kinds of flags flying in all directions - union flags, personal flags, knight flags, attendant flags, swallow tail flags, square flags.
, but no one understands what that means.
Most people, including him, could only move forward in groups, following the crowd and marching blindly for several hours. Occasionally they encountered a small group of private slave soldiers, and everyone swarmed forward, overwhelmingly. At first, the players were in high spirits,
I thought I was in sight of victory. But later, if I looked down at the battlefield at this moment, I would find that this huge team had already been torn apart.
And two to three professional mercenaries are interspersed in the middle of this torn cake, eating away at the inside like moths.
By the time it gets dark, enemy flags are already appearing in all directions——
Recalling that war, it was later nicknamed the 'Deldetal Massacre' - in fact, the name vividly described the situation of the 1,700 multiplayer players gathered by the three unions.
There is no doubt that these players are extremely brave warriors. Even in the end, they formed small teams and fought desperately, but of course the result was that the entire army was annihilated.
In fact, the real irony is that throughout the morning and afternoon, the damage caused by the players was not as great as the damage caused to the slave traders after they fought independently after dark.
When Brando thought of that battle, he not only smiled in embarrassment, but also broke into a cold sweat. After that, it was not until the Buchi War (during the Second Black Rose War) that the players gradually learned their lessons and learned how to
Lay out the battlefield - what flags they need. How to tell which knight's noble army belongs to a certain flag from the weird badges. Players also learned to place the battlefield on a flat and gentle slope under a highland, so that
Their commander had a panoramic view of the battlefield with a radius of ten kilometers.
Just like what Macaro the Maned Wolf is doing now.
Of course, the battle between mercenaries and bandits is far from a war. However, the battle in the wild forest is similar. Brando tightened the reins to prevent the dense bushes from making the horse restless.
Turning around, I saw some figures wearing green cloaks and holding large grapefruit-lacquered bows flashing past in the forest. If you were an ordinary person, you would probably not be able to notice these guys at all.
Those are certainly not lizard people. Brando thinks that the lizard people in Balogan Forest should of course be a branch of the jungle lizard tribe. Although their granular skin covered with fine scales is also dark green, these short creatures are not as good as
The mountain people are tall and burly. There is no doubt that those are the best hunters among the mountain people - forest shooters.
This is the name given to them by the Cruz people who invaded this place. More than two hundred years ago, this name was like a ghost lingering over this forest to the soldiers of the empire, but to the mountain people, it was an honor.
Title. It means the fastest hunter, the most accurate shooter, and the best ranger.
"I don't know where Macaro got these rangers from," Brando tapped his fingers on the metal accessories on the reins unconsciously, thinking silently. Of course he had heard of these 'most outstanding rangers among mankind.
In fact, he has fought side by side with these rangers for a period of time in the past, or in the future. Maybe it was not too long, but it was enough to leave a deep impression. "Maybe they have been wandering in this area for a long time.
?”
With excellent rangers, the work of the mercenary group will be much easier.
Obviously, the 'Maned Wolf' is quite good at dealing with opponents——
In fact, Brando knew that during the period of chaotic law and order, the mercenaries were far more familiar with their opponents who roamed everywhere than the latter were familiar with them.
This is the case for the members of the 'Gray Wolf' mercenary group. This is not the first or second time they have done this kind of work. It is very common to hire mercenaries to fight against bandit groups entrenched in the wilderness.
The more famous a mercenary is, the more experience he has. Naturally, Macaro, the Maned Wolf, is not an unknown person.
In Brando's own opinion, if players want to deal with a group of thieves, the best idea is to remove the opponent's lair once and for all. After looking at Macaro's layout, he understood that the opponent's approach was different from what he thought.
But they have another advantage, that is, they have determined the location of the lizard man tribe. It takes a lot of trouble for outsiders to find the silver elf ruins in Balogan, but for locals and mountaineer hunters it is
It's a piece of cake.
Originally, Brando was a little hesitant at first. He was not sure whether he had to join the other party in the adventure. After all, he could hire a person to follow him privately and wait for the opportunity. However, there are some risks in doing so.
Following a mercenary group can be seen as a serious provocation, which may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. The young man is unwilling to make extraneous matters, so he thought of using mercenaries to write the existing provisions above.
But now it seems that he didn't expect that Macaro would have so many forest-crossing people, which was an unexpected surprise. Of course, it also gave him a warning. Fortunately, he didn't act according to plan 'a', otherwise it would be normal
How could the guide not be discovered in front of the forest walker?
He couldn't help but look at Macaro and Buga.
'Maned Wolf' Macaro and Buga both had sullen faces. They had no choice but to let Brando see the shooter who was walking through the forest. This was just a deterrent. Brando and his party of fifteen people were in the center of the team.
It was like a time bomb hanging on his back, but it was even more impossible for him to put them in front or behind, because that would be more dangerous.
Of course, if given the choice, Macaro would definitely choose to throw Brando out directly. In fact, Buga has given him such a signal more than once.
But Macaro finally shook his head.
He touched the scars on his face. The 'Gray Wolf' mercenaries could not do anything that would dishonor the overall honor of the group, although many mercenary groups did this - even some of the now famous large mercenary groups.
His past may not be that glorious. But he and Buga actually understand that their group is the same.
The two men looked at each other and invariably thought of the young man Eco.
"Eco is still in town?" Macaro asked.
Add a little bit of cloth.
"Forget it, let him go. It's not his fault," the red-haired middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that we can't talk too much to him."
"He is also doing it for your own good."
"He saw something fishy about the cards, but he didn't realize that we already knew it. Drake was plotting against us. How did that idiot know that we were plotting against him too." Macaro tilted his head disdainfully.
: "But the real trouble now is not that guy, but the young man in the team. I have now confirmed that he and Solitaire are not the same group, but this does not make me less worried."
"This is really a satire, do you understand." The Maned Wolf rarely laughed at himself.
Bu Shen feels the same way.
But Brando didn't understand how much trouble his arrival caused to the two future big shots. There were about seventy people in their group, and they headed straight for the Silver Elf ruins in the forest. It would be best if they could make a sneak attack.
If not, it is estimated that this work will last for several days. Suppressing bandits in the forest is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
But while he was riding on the horse, he was thinking about something else.
He thought of the strategy post on the forum again, but racking his brains he couldn't figure out when Macaro, the Maned Wolf, got involved with a mercenary group called Gray Wolf. It shouldn't be Mountain Wood Blue.
'? That kind of light purple flower that blooms in the mountains of the southern border. What does using that flower as the emblem of the mercenary group symbolize? He suddenly shook his head to get this irrelevant thought out of his mind, and then
It was like a flash of light that cut across the dark sky and sea. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him from the beginning, and he suddenly remembered the connection between this noun and the previous word.
Gray Wolf Mercenary Group! By the way, Gray Wolf Mercenary Group!
Brando raised his head and felt that the surrounding mountains and forests seemed to be dyed with a strange color. It turned out to be a simple mission to eliminate bandits, but now it seems something is wrong.
Logically speaking, he saw more than seventy members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group. More than half of them were at the Black Iron level, and one-fifth were at the Silver level, as well as the forest-piercing shooters. Such a team would be able to eliminate them.
There are more than a hundred lizard man bandits in their early 20s. What kind of strategy is needed there? But there must be something wrong with it.
Just as Brando took a breath, he heard Antitina ask from behind.
"Why did you place people there? It's not normal." He almost didn't have to turn around to think of the frowning look on the noble daughter's face.
"What do you know, little girl?" This was Reddy's voice.
