261 It turned out to be an army

"You can speak dragon language?" the goblin scholar asked the female mage in surprise, "that doesn't even know me." ”

"Neither will I. Catherine shook her head. Dragons have their own language, but dragon language is basically impossible for humans to learn. This is due to the fact that the dragon's vocalization is too special for humans to imitate, and the reason why human research on dragons is still quite limited. Imagine that until today, no human has ever set foot on a dragon city in the true sense, so how can we talk about learning dragon language?

On the contrary, dragons have long lives and superhuman intelligence, they have an unimaginable inheritance, and they have enough time in their lives to learn all kinds of knowledge, including the languages spoken by humans.

"Dragon lice may not only understand dragon language, we can try it in ancient elven language first. But Catherine had her own ideas. After all, the ancient elven language is the language that has existed on the ground for the longest time other than dragon languages. It seems to be very versatile, and throughout the ages, many intelligent races have spoken the Old Elven language.

Catherine then shouted in Ancient Elven language to the dragon lice tribe, "Who are you?"

The dragon lice tribe did not react. "Who are you?" Catherine shouted again, "what do you want to do?"

The dragon lice were quiet, they didn't seem to understand, and they seemed to understand. All in all, this not a successful exchange has not changed anything.

"I knew it was going to be the end. The goblin scholar took two steps behind his back, "These guys don't necessarily have a vocal system or a hearing system, but they certainly have vision. We might as well do something else. ”

"What's your idea?" asked the mage.

"I've studied racial behavior patterns before. You know that different actions have meaning in themselves. The old professor said eloquently, "Especially some dances." For example, in the dances used during the rituals, each movement usually has a very specific explanation. ”

"And what do they do, and what do they mean?" asked Catherine.

"It's like this. The old professor stretched out his hand to the sky, "This is the action that dragon lice did during their sacrifice." ”

"Again. The old professor jumped up on the spot, and he jumped high and then fell, "This is their jumping action." ”

"What's the point?" said Catherine, pointing to the dragon lice tribe opposite, "You see they're not responding. ”

"How can I do it alone, we have to do it together. The old professor smiled and said, "What I do, you do it, and the movements should be neat." So they can understand. ”

Catherine thought for a moment. I thought it would be a bit funny, but I agreed to give it a try.

The goblin scholar began to raise his hands in worship for a while, and then jumped on the spot. The female mage gradually mastered his rhythm, and did the same. As the movements of the two became more and more proficient. They also jumped higher and higher. One, two, three ....... In the end, they were able to jump five or six meters high. Then it fell steadily back to the ground.

"Look! They reacted. The old professor suddenly shouted.

Sure enough, when the two of them struggled to jump to the highest point this time, the dragon lice raised their heads in unison. And when they fall. The dragon lice bowed their heads in unison again.

"I see. The old professor raised his hand to worship the sky and said, "The height we jump is meaningful to them." ”

After saying that, he jumped up suddenly, and in this jump, the old professor was more than a meter higher than Catherine. The female mage observed the dragon lice tribe, and the dragon lice really seemed to raise their heads a little higher.

On the next jump, Catherine jumped as hard as she could. Strange to say, as long as she is willing to exert her strength, there seems to be no limit to how high she can jump. Catherine caught up with the old professor's height, and the strange "attention salute" of the dragon lice became more and more conspicuous.

The two reached a tacit understanding, and in the subsequent jumps, they tried to touch the limit of height as much as possible. Incredibly, they gradually jumped to ten meters in the air, and then climbed to fifteen or sixteen meters...... up to twenty meters.

At the moment of reaching twenty meters, they found that the entire dragon lice tribe had undergone a change. Yes, the dragon lice seem to have clockwork all at once. Catherine and the old professor glanced at each other as they went, and both read the same thought in each other's eyes.

"Come on. Let's see, what the results will be. The old professor said as he landed on the ground.

"We need to touch the height of the sky. Catherine responded.

They pounced on the sky again with all their might, and the dragon lice rose from the ground. The sight was spectacular, with thousands of dragon lice jumping at the same speed. They are in unison, rising to mid-air in a horizontal line. Catherine and the others looked at the dragon lice tribe opposite each other in the air, as if they were still on the ground.

"It's so interesting, I really should write it down. The goblin scholar sighed heartily.

The dragon lice's jumping ability is absolutely admirable, and their mastery of power is so precise that they actually jump just as high as the duo reaches, and then fall back to the ground in unison at the same time.

Catherine said: "I think they treat us like one kind. ”

"It's possible. The old professor agreed, "But we still haven't found the real answer." What the hell are they trying to do. ”

He glanced at the dragon lice tribe, and the dragon lice were motionless again, as if they hadn't jumped at all.

"Ah, I didn't expect that. The old professor suddenly patted his head, "Formation, I didn't even think to investigate from their formation." It's obviously peculiar that they're lined up like this. ”

Catherine was enlightened, and she looked at the dragon lice for a long time and said, "It's an army, and they're an army." This is a parallel battle formation. ”

"Parallel battle formations?" the old professor asked, "I have very limited knowledge of warfare. What is the parallel battle array for?"

"Long-range attack formation. Catherine swept the dragon lice with her hand, "Such a wide formation, with one round of fire, can cover a frontal battlefield." But ......"

"But what?"

"It's too thin. The female mage is like a general directing the situation on the battlefield, "If a ranged unit, such as a human bow and arrow brigade. In this way, a round of bow and arrows or crossbow arrows is fired, although the area is wide, but the density of the arrows is not enough, and the power is small. In the same way, whether it is a row of 200 people, a rotation of five rows, or a salvo, it can all play an unexpected effect. ”

"What if it's a magician?" said the old professor, looking at Catherine, "a magician like you. ”

"A magician like me doesn't have such a large scale in an army. Moreover, the mage troops have special tactics, and it is impossible to use such a formation. Catherine was very sure, but she paused for a few seconds before adding, "However, it is possible for those low-level ranged cannon fodder from the demon army to expel this formation. Anyway, the demons don't have a good brain, and they don't pay attention to tactics. ”

"Oh. The goblin scholar said with admiration, "It's not a loss to His Majesty Bosseifer, the great commander who has been fighting with the demon army for tens of thousands of years. (To be continued......)
