Switching of perspective, third person.

On October 1, outside Washington.

Colonel Taylor looked at the battle situation in front of him, and the group of Heavenly Academy who suddenly appeared didn't know where they went, Lance was killed in battle, and George and Jerry among the young physical magicians had also died. Of course, this is only a name, and I don't know how many unsung heroes have died - although the large army is suppressed by firepower, there are always those who are unlucky enough to suffer. Life has never been expensive or cheap, and such a loss makes Taylor's face very solemn, not only because he is the person in charge here, but also because those lives are precious. Although now is not the time to hold accountable, Taylor's guilt has not been reduced by half a point in the slightest, and the current situation is at a considerable disadvantage.

The necromancer who fought with him for a long time was also out of the high-level battlefield in the sky, quietly watching the skeleton army on the ground crash into the firepower and defense line of the American Arcane Department, he didn't seem to be able to command militarily, and he didn't intend to summon new skeletons at the expense of spirit, even so, the battle on the ground was still stalemate, maintaining a delicate balance, as if it was a deliberate teasing by the necromancer. The battle at the top is precarious, Owen, Solomon, and Simon are fighting against twice as many necromancers of the same level as them, and it is already considered that they are not defeated;

Sure enough, it's because the strength is too weak, if he has general-level combat power, it's no problem to single-handedly pick up ten necromancers at the same time; there are actually generals in Washington, but they probably don't bother to deal with weak opponents with 3000+ to close to 4000 spiritual power level, so the strongest combat power on the scene is less than 4000 spiritual power level, which can barely be regarded as "evenly matched". In the current situation, in addition to the enemy's own high-level combat power seems to be a little stronger, there are also strategic mistakes, Taylor was restrained by Qi Tian, George was forced to be seriously injured by the skeleton archmage, and the overall battle situation is very defeated;

……

Let's take a look at the high-level battles.

Owen's arcane is the art of harnessing the light (borrowed from "Stealing the Stars in September"), which is rated as a B-level arcane in this world, Solomon's arcane is "Rashomon" (borrowed from the fruit of "One Piece"), because the particularity of the space-time system is at least set at A-level arcane, and Simon's arcane is similar to Tyrone, Beamon transforms into a physically strong Beamon giant beast, but it is judged to be a C-level ghost arcane. As for how the Heavenly Guild Headquarters made these magical judgments, of course, it is not the most important thing at this moment, but the arcane arts of these three people are not very well matched with physical arts, and even Simon's Beamon transformation will affect the casting of physical arts, and he has not cast arcane arts until now.

One-on-two is quite difficult, after all, it is already difficult to defend against twice the number of enemies at your level, and the situation will immediately get worse if you are attacked, so they are the team battle of choice, well, although three against six doesn't seem to make much difference. After all, the sorcerers can't cast spells together like magicians, and they only form a simple formation together, and they don't have much practical effect in the face of the siege of six necromancers, while the necromancers are happy to fight in a team, after all, the crispy unit itself is still too fragile like a mage, and the magic between multiple necromancers can easily be both offensive and defensive.

At the beginning of the battle, every mage will think of all means to protect himself, and only then will he cast a powerful attack magic under "safe" conditions, acting as the main turret. And this battle has been a long time, after all, Lance has been killed, and Taylor has also had a round of confrontation with the incompetent king Qi Tian, and the six necromancers, who are already superior in numbers, can of course arrange quite powerful defensive magic. In my impression, necromancers and necromancers are like those produced on an assembly line, with the same appearance, the same thinking patterns, and the same moves, but in fact, they are not as standard as those in ACGN products, and the necromancers that exist in reality also have their own personalities.

(Of course, there are some general basic spells that are necessary to be used as a necromancer, and the general necromancer's fighting style is really similar, at least at the beginning of the spell used to protect himself.) By the way, I decided to consider the regular combat of the Necromancer along the lines of the "Red Alert...... ）

For example, the Necromancer's Dark Touch of the Incompetent King Qi Tian is considered dark elemental magic (which seems to have summoning properties), although the magic commonly used by necromancers (summoning, cursed, dark, virus, Alchemy) has dark magic, but the use of the dark touch is not all necromancers can use it; this requires a high degree of control over the dark energy, and the energy of the dead air cannot be in conflict with the darkness, even if it is a similar attribute but if it is a different system of magic, it is still easy to have problems in some details; in addition, the dark touch must be quite flexible, which requires multi-purpose skills, otherwise the dark touch is just brute force.

At this time, the necromancers faced by the three of Owen have prepared quite a lot of defensive magic and auxiliary magic, and each necromancer is surrounded by three huge white bone shields floating and rotating (white bone armor), as well as a layer of faintly visible magic shield (arcane barrier), which can be regarded as personal protection for themselves, of course, this level of defense is at most to resist Owen and their two or three attacks, and the necromancer has not used this time to make an effective counterattack. But this is just the beginning, after the necromancers released these two defensive magics before, a large number of blue ghost fires appeared around each necromancer, just like the skeleton archmage that George dealt with before, of course, the ghost fire around the necromancer is better in both quality and quantity.

Although it is not clear what the ghost fire is for, it is enough as an explosive detonated in an instant, and it is as much as possible to cover the problem of the magician's casting time, and it is quite difficult for the three of Owen to attack in close quarters as a physical technique, and even desperately fighting may not be able to kill a necromancer. Lance was already dead, and the colonels could not afford to sacrifice any more, they were already at a considerable disadvantage......

Surrounded by necromantic energy and a large number of disgusting locusts flying around (Locust Scourge), although there is no way to break through the Colonels' Tiangang, it is quite annoying. In addition, the source of the plague and the fountain of pollution are also playing BUff and debuff effects, and the "Psychic Tower", which combines alchemy and magic, is floating in the air (refer to the tower of the undead in Warcraft), and the top of the tower is ready to deliver a powerful blow. If Pious Heaven relied on the Dark Touch, then these necromancers relied on turrets, although their own positioning was equivalent to turrets, and their firepower was more powerful. The attack power of the Psychic Tower is not bad, at least it can injure the colonel, but the attack speed is a little slower, and each attack takes a long time to recharge, but the sheer number is enough to make up for this shortcoming.

Fighting in the encirclement of necromancers is not a good thing, Solomon immediately launched his own arcane art, opening two "doors" in the space, as long as you enter through one door, you can come out of the other door, it can be said that it is quite convenient, if Qin Ming wants to do this, I am afraid it is quite troublesome, and it may not be able to do it. But in battle, such drawbacks are also quite obvious, two doors must exist at the same time to be able to carry out spatial transfer, which is quite dull in the rapidly changing battlefield, if only Solomon himself may be better, plus Owen and Simon, this drawback is immediately magnified many times.

The sorcerer's perception ability is quite strong, even if it is a necromancer, feeling the spatial power of the two gates, although it is not clear what it is used for, but whether it is to summon teammates or to escape, the necromancer will not let them get their wish, and immediately the powerful attack magic will go towards the two "Rashomon", a large number of locusts are also blocking the way in front of Rashomon, Solomon's strategy failed, and immediately revoked Rashomon, a super punch swept over, and a large area of locusts was struck, but for the sea of locusts, it was just a drop in the ocean.

If one wave fails, Solomon can also prepare another wave of space gates, needless to say, predict the location of Owen and Simon, and set up a space gate around them to help them escape from the siege of the necromancer. The arcane of the space-time system is at least A-level in the evaluation of the Heavenly Guild, and the arcane naturally has its strength, while setting up the "door" for escape, Solomon is still preparing the "door" for attack, ignoring the heavy defense of the necromancer, the space gate directly appeared next to several necromancers, although the space gate itself has no attack power, but Solomon can see his own attack through the space gate directly hit the necromancer.

It's a pity that the speed of the space gate is too slow on this kind of battlefield, and the space gate was discovered by the necromancer as soon as it appeared, after all, it was next to the necromancer! Then there was a wave of random magic attacks, and at the same time, the necromancer's figure quickly dodged to the side, and Solomon's attack was stronger than the necromancer's casual attack, but it would be delayed and ineffective, so a sneak attack was impossible. However, this had bought enough time for the three colonels, all three of whom escaped the necromancer's encirclement through the spatial portal generated by Rashomon, though they soon discovered that it was useless.

The battlefield is here, where else can they go? Could it be that if they escaped, they would sacrifice all the soldiers below? Of course it was impossible, so soon, the three colonels fell under the heavy turrets of the necromancers. Although the situation is at a disadvantage, it is not an absolute disadvantage, at least for example, Colonel Solomon can use Rashomon to create opportunities for sneak attacks, even if the success rate is not high, it can keep the necromancer in a state of tension at all times. (Physicists are good at frontal combat, but they don't exclude tactics such as sneak attacks, not to mention that the colonels' other identity is that of soldiers, as the so-called "soldiers don't get tired of cheating"...... ）

And when Colonel Solomon exerted the arcane effect, Owen and Simon were not idle: the operation of the art of controlling the light was very difficult, and it was not as powerful as imagined, and it was not as good as a direct attack on the arcane in terms of attack power alone. After all, the power of the light control technique lies in the control of light, whether it is used for attack, defense or fire suppression, etc., but it is precisely because there are too many functions that each one is not very strong, and to accurately control the light energy to make the changes you want, the requirements for mental power are very high. If the spiritual power is strong enough, it can even approach the spiritual realm of the gods with the technique of controlling the light alone...... However, no normal arcanist would have too much mental strength, not even Colonel Owen.

After all, human beings are not a race that is good at discovering and using spiritual powers, even magicians and alchemists who have studied magic, alchemy and other knowledge for a long time and are extremely wise. Even so, I'm afraid it's very difficult to fully exert the power of the Light Control Technique, and even the elven clan can't do it, unless it's a strong person who specializes in cultivating spiritual power. As for Owen, he is just a physical sorcerer, of course, he doesn't have such a strong spiritual power, and he can't use the art of controlling light to save the world.

However, condensing the light elemental energy into the rudiments of a knife, and then, blessed with the power of the main fist, the erratic light seemed to have really turned into a weapon, and with a slight wave, it slashed out the sword qi fluctuations of the light attribute, and in this battlefield filled with death and darkness, it still has quite extraordinary power. Because the light is almost massless, the speed of the sword in Owen's hand has also reached a rather astonishing level, and it is enough to swing more than ten swords in an instant, and the blade of the sword falls a piece of locusts, and the dead air is also cut by this sharp sword (although it will soon gather again, after all, it is a smoke-like state); Since Solomon is more suitable for using the Space Gate to assist or sneak attack, Owen and Simon are naturally responsible for the attack, although they are both surrounded and there is no difference between the so-called "front row" and "back row".

Of course, as a colonel, Solomon will not be reduced to the extent that he needs Owen and Simon to protect him, he still has the basic strength of a physical magician, and if he does not consider the particularity of the arcane, Solomon's combat effectiveness may not be weaker than other colonels.

A bone spear more than three meters long appeared in front of a necromancer out of thin air, and then rushed towards Owen at high speed, the sharp tip of the spear, the astonishing speed, so that this bone spear has a terrifying stabbing ability; Swinging it and the bone spear-for-tat, as if leaking electricity, releasing a large amount of streamers at the place where the light knife and the bone spear collided, obviously relying solely on the energy to form the light knife is not too releasing in terms of stability. Owen just picked it lightly, and avoided the bone spear, his movements in the background were much more flexible than the bone spear, and as for the damage of the light knife, it was completely invisible.

Even if it is broken, it only needs a small amount of energy to reforge it, not to mention just a little damage? In the blink of an eye, Owen's light knife was already intact again, and his body continued to move forward to approach a necromancer, the light knife in his hand did not stop, and the blade swept over and detonated a little ghost fire, but it seemed to have an invisible barrier, no matter how those ghost fires exploded, they couldn't hurt Owen at all. This is not Tiangang, otherwise Owen will consume a lot of spiritual power, it is simply Owen's knife technique; the attack of the psychic tower has also arrived at this time, and after a long time of charging, a powerful energy cannonball hits Owen, with Owen's flexibility, of course, he can dodge, he still chose to resist head-on, in order to test the attack power of the psychic tower, which is a tactical need.

Later, when a trade-off must be made, it can be used as a basis for judgment; therefore, the "round shield" between the left hand and the five fingers opened, and the spiritual power surged, can this move make Owen safe and sound under the blow of the psychic tower? At the moment when Owen opened the round shield, a sense of weakness suddenly enveloped Owen's body. Of course, this can't be that Owen is in a bad state, as a physical sorcerer, Owen knows his physical state quite well, and he will inevitably adjust his state before the battle, and there is no sudden weakness, then, there may be only one left - the curse of the necromancers......
