Chapter 123: Gathering Storms in Ageisoara (14)
Bows and arrows are excellent as a means of long-range sniping.
It may be lacking in power, range, and frequency compared to modern firearms, but none of these flaws are a problem in the mysterious Moon World.
Not powerful enough, add magic.
The range is not enough, and the bow and arrow are strengthened with various mythological materials and magical powers - let alone 800 meters, it is not a dream to crash an arrow 20 kilometers away. (For details, see Uncle Hai in FSF, shooting twinkle at 20 kilometers with one arrow, which perfectly explains what the ceiling is.) )
The frequency of shooting can also be compensated for by superhuman physical abilities as well as superb marksmanship.
Of course, in order for an arrow to hit its target, it is necessary to have a considerable degree of talent and have undergone unimaginably rigorous training. However, of course, it is impossible for the Heroic Spirit summoned as an Archer rank not to have these necessary conditions, as long as he stands in a distant position, the Archer rank is almost invincible.
Excluding these completely incorrect art styles, bows and arrows also have one of the biggest advantages - the sound they make when shooting is much quieter than that of firearms, and with some special techniques, it is not impossible to be silent.
After shooting the first arrow with all his might, Caron immediately shot the second arrow, which would have been enough to separate the winner if it had not been for Artoria's quick head.
Hearing the "click" sound, Charon looked at the female knight below with a little regret, watching the magic in the arrows destroy her face armor, and looking at the true face under her face armor.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or an inevitability, when the mask shattered, the clouds blocking the moon happened to be blown away by the wind.
The moonlight sprinkled over the land, gilding the walls with a hazy glow, and illuminating the female knights in silver armor and holding shining spears beneath the walls.
She was so beautiful in the moonlight that even Charon, who had lived for a long time and had dealt with many gods, had to admit that her beauty was not inferior to any goddess, and even Artemis, the symbol of the moon, could not overwhelm her with beauty.
And Keron, who has witnessed many heroes, also understands that this beauty belongs only to human beings, only to heroes, and is completely different from the high gods. Although Karon was the child of the union of two gods, with full divine blood and divinity, and had an immortal body, he liked humans more and appreciated the beauty that burst out of their short lives—a beauty that could not be matched by almost eternal gods.
Seeing the female knight's calm countenance, and the heroic posture that was not afraid to look at him, Charon also showed a smile that did not match the image of the sage—with a little hideous, with a little bloodthirsty darkness, which was a smile that could only appear on the face of a warrior.
Thank fate for being called into this world to have a second life. Thanks to the Holy Grail Wars, I was able to meet so many heroes.
Just when Caron was amazed by Artoria's face and courage. Artoria began to fight back, and before the Spear collided with the arrow, she had already figured out what to do next.
The straight-line distance between the two was sixty meters, and under the simultaneous effect of the "Wind King Enchantment" and the "Magic Power Unleashed", it took ten steps - not to climb it with both hands and feet, but to gallop up the ninety-degree outer wall with both feet.
If all goes well, two breaths will be enough to reach Charon's side - but, will it be that smooth?
The answer is clearly no. Just shortening the distance between the two of them to sixty meters took dozens or even hundreds of times the time of two breaths, not to mention the arrow that shattered the mask just now.
Artoria had a feeling that it was not some insidious, unconventional trick, but a display of a more sophisticated skill.
This feeling was fulfilled in the following charge.
Altoria's feet were protected by the wind, and he stepped on the surface of the city wall and stepped five meters in one step.
Charon's face remained unchanged and he unleashed an arrow.
However, Artoria suddenly accelerated, took a second step faster than the arrow, and the arrow naturally missed.
At this time, the second arrow of Caron also arrived.
Artoria was prepared, jumped up with his spear, pinpointed the arrow away, and took a third step at the same time.
But—this third step was only halfway through and stopped.
For at some unknown point, an arrow was firmly planted in the wall, and that was the foothold that Artoria had chosen.
"It's ——!!!"
It wasn't that the arrow arrived after Artoria moved, but that Artoria himself moved to the coordinates where the arrow was—
This suggests that the arrows were shot earlier than Artoria settled.
This shows that Artoria's mode of action has been seen through by Charon.
That's right, when I predict the trajectory of his arrows, he also predicts my movements, and more accurately than I do. I relied on my innate "intuition" to reach and predict the future, but what did he rely on?
Unbeknownst to Artoria, of course, that Keron had not used any talent, but had only reached the realm of predicting the future by relying on repeated accumulation and powerful computing skills that had never been discouraged.
From the time of Cronus, the first Olympian god of the sky, to the end of Greek mythology, Charon has spent much longer than the 1,500 years of Artoria's slumber. These long years are enough for Caron to hone every skill to the peak, and this little bit of accumulation has become part of Caron's eyesight. This accumulation is even reflected in the Servant's skill panel, turning into the B+-level "Clairvoyant" and the A-level "Heart Eye: True".
In Caron's view, no matter how Artoria reacts, some things are always the same—for example, no matter how much you move, you have to do it with your feet. Then you only need to know how often you take a step, the distance you take in one step, and the timing of your leg lift, and you can calculate where your next kick will land.
Next, as long as he grasped the interception of the spear and the sword, he forced Artoria into an embarrassing dilemma.
It was hard to shorten the distance to within 50 meters, and the previous efforts were wasted.
Walking on the upright city wall is completely done in one go, and once this breath is interrupted, it will be difficult for the flightless Altoria to even stand on the city wall.
No, in order to prevent falling from the wall, she nailed the sword into the wall and hung it in mid-air.
For such a fixed target, Charon naturally did not show mercy, arrows one after another, what powerful shots, what a bow with many arrows, changed tricks, and Artoria, who could only defend with one hand and a heavy cavalry spear, was miserable, and if he was not careful, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
Although the arrow pierced through the heavy armor with little force left, and only half of the arrow was embedded in the flesh, it was of no small significance—it was the first time that the invincible Lancer had been injured in Ridgeoara.
The pain of the arrow made Artoria more aware of the difficulty of her enemies, and she gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"There are still forty-nine meters, although it is still a little far, but now, I can't take care of it so much. ”
PS: Clairvoyance: Level B+
How good your eyesight is. Capture distant targets, dynamic vision rises. At the same time, if you take into account the heart and eye (true), you can also achieve limited future vision.
PS2: Heart's Eye (True): Level A
Insight cultivated through cultivation and forging. A "battle theory" that calmly grasps one's own situation and the enemy's abilities in the face of disadvantages, and finds a way to survive.
PS3: Continue to complain about the east. First of all, Charon is agile A+, Xiao Mo is agile B, Charon actually stands on the stake and doesn't fly a kite? What can Ta Meow do, the stronger Caron can't do? Secondly, Xiao Mo has a "sense of intuition", and Charon also has a "clairvoyance" and "heart eye" can also predict the future, and Xiao Mo's intuition is only B, one of Caron is B+, and the other is A, to the end of the original book and Achilles, every step of Achilles is counted to death, so that he actually shoots Xiao Mo's arrow, and it has to be close? And combined with the two points before and after, Xiao Mo's"Bullet falls", Charon should also be able to dodge, after all, agility A+ double speed.
