Chapter 67: The Assault of the Sorcerers
Switching of perspective, third person.
On October 1, outside Washington.
The sudden battle was extremely chaotic, but the battle on the ground was more worrying than the high-level battle. The two sides of the war, including physical magicians such as George, soldiers of the American Arcane Department, skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, skeleton mages, etc., will not be at a disadvantage for the time being on the human side with weapon superiority; although it is impossible to use powerful alchemy equipment at will like the heavy task of the Heavenly Academy, and too heavy equipment cannot be used at will, but even if it is just an ordinary machine gun fire, the huge impact of the bullet can cause great damage to many skeletons. Bullets are like no money (in other words, the economy and industrial production of the United States do not need to save bullets too much), and the torrential rain is not a situation where firearms are ineffective under normal circumstances.
Not only that, but there are also weapons such as high-explosive grenades and rocket launchers, and there are some armored vehicles in front as a line of defense, which can theoretically be regarded as a one-man affair, but what if the enemy is not only 10,000, but 100,000 million? Skeleton warriors do not need any intelligence, even cannon fodder has a terrible place as cannon fodder, that is, the number is infinite, and there is a steady stream of newly summoned skeleton warriors. When the necromancer summons the skeleton mage, the necromancer itself is freed from the task of summoning cannon fodder, although the skeleton mage cannot summon a powerful necromancer unit at the lord level, it is still not a problem to summon other skeleton mages or skeleton warriors, etc., which is an endless vicious circle for humans.
However, with their current firepower, there was no way to destroy the skeleton mage, and the skeleton warriors in front were enough to block their firepower. And the people who can go and destroy these skeleton mages are those young physical magicians? It's just that physical magicians don't have the ability to resist bullets, even if physical arts Tiangang can resist bullets, the price is a large consumption of spiritual power, even the so-called body armor, it can't eliminate the huge impact of bullets. What's more, it's a rain of bullets?(1000+ spiritual power level physical magicians have the ability to flash bullets, the condition is that the number of bullets is very small, and the situation in front of them is too complicated, after all, it is not a strong man at the level of the colonel, of course, being able to flash bullets is already considered against the sky compared to ordinary people.) )
Young physical artists, although their own strength is strong, but because of the particularity of physical artists (equivalent to special forces), they themselves do not have much "real power", it is impossible to mobilize these soldiers, and even they themselves are commanded by ordinary "officers", which is also a very helpless thing, war needs not only heroes, but also discipline, and they are young and they can't reach the strength level of heroes. The task given to them by the commander is to deal with the skeleton mage, although this task is correct to some extent, but to a large extent it is tantamount to letting them die, but as soldiers, they have no right to refuse, in fact, if they judge for themselves, this is also the best choice, they are ready to die, because they are American soldiers.
(George, Jerry, Blinkin, Trist.) )
Beyond the defensive line organized by their own troops, several young physical magicians were already in the fairyland. Considering that the bullet may be injured by mistake, if it is not decided to disarm the fire in this direction, from here to the place where the skeleton mage is located in the depths of the skeleton army, George and the others will be under tremendous pressure, and a large number of skeletons will also be solved by them; However, the situation is not as bad as imagined, after all, their strength should be higher than those students of the Heavenly Academy, even without the support of the arcane.
Blinkin, as a vanguard, rampage, his burly body is full of power, I am afraid that there is no less than the impact of a truck, and the spiritual power surges to form a powerful "Tiangang", even if there is no obvious attack power, it is not something that ordinary skeleton warriors can compete with. Of course, they will not fight empty-handed on the battlefield, Blinkin has a heavy machine gun in his hand, although it is a heavy machine gun, with his strong strength, it is actually operated with one hand, and the other hand swings to smash all the approaching skeleton warriors, and the violence is abnormal. And around Blinkin, it's George and Jerry, both of whom wield a katana with one hand (although Americans feel weird wielding a katana, it should have been said at some point, it may have been influenced by "Dragon (Gangnam)", the main progress weapons are mostly katana-like, and the katana is set to attack and speed to the extreme, not suitable for defense, not suitable for highly skilled moves, although there is also a lack of my understanding of weapon culture), and the "positive fist" attached to the knife Increases the sharpness of the knife several times, and with a swing, it can cut off the skeleton warrior and the bone knife.
Regardless of the possible existence of viruses, curses, and the like, the combat power of the skeleton warriors themselves is equivalent to that of ancient soldiers, how can they possibly compete with those who have learned these physical arts? The only thing to worry about is how long the physical and spiritual power of George and the others can last. The skeleton shooter and skeleton mage in the rear quickly discovered the anomaly here, and immediately gathered fire on this side, bone arrows flew like rain (in fact, the power of bone arrows is probably a little weaker than the power of gun bullets), George and others grabbed the bone shields of some skeleton warriors as defense, and a little "positioning" can use skeleton warriors as a shield, although it is also troublesome and a waste of physical strength to do so. In the face of long-range attacks, George and the others were helpless, their weapons could not penetrate the skeleton warrior's defenses at all, and they could only kill them step by step.
Among them, Trist has some long-range attack power - not to say that he shoots firearms, but he specializes in physical skills himself. In the system of physical arts, the moves of the physical surgeon are almost the same, but the moves and specialization directions extended by different basic moves may be very different, for example, as mentioned earlier, Blinkin is a "tank" specializing in Tiangang, George Good Jerry is a "warrior" in comprehensive hand-to-hand combat, and Trist is a "shooter" specializing in long-range attacks such as finger guns, with a clear division of labor, so Trist's position is in the middle of the three, preparing for long-range attacks.
(That's right, the name Trist is LOL's Card Master.) )
Finger gun,As mentioned earlier, it is borrowed from the six-style finger gun of "One Piece", but there are some slight differences, such as the original version contains speed and power, although this side focuses more on the use of spiritual power, but the speed and power of the original version also refer to a form of gun. Finger guns are stabbing (directly stabbing the enemy's body with your fingers), catapult (arc shooting, shaped like a middle finger bending, the thumb is buckled on the middle finger, and the middle finger is bounced with force), and lasing (directly is the energy shoot). Well, at the moment, Trist's application method is a catapult variant, with a card between the middle and index fingers, two fingers bent in the palm of the hand, and then the card is launched with a flick of the action. Then, I saw a playing card fly out and muddle the skeleton warrior's face......
The card successfully blocked the Skeleton Warrior's view, and Trist's body was almost as fast as the playing card, and just as the playing card was glued to the Skeleton Warrior's face, a close punch shattered the Skeleton Warrior's throat bone, and a white skull rolled to the ground, and of course the Skeleton Warrior fell. Well, the role of the previous playing cards doesn't seem to have any practical effect, who stipulates that the shooter can't fight in close combat? But seeing Trist retrieve the playing card casually, the power of the "positive fist" was attached to the playing card, and the originally fragile paper playing card became hard and sharp, and the swing cut the throat bone of another skeleton warrior, which was a powerful weapon in Trist's hand.
As the only shooter on the team, it is necessary for Trist to find a way to deal with the skeleton shooters, but the number of skeleton shooters, although not as many as the skeleton warriors, far exceeds their number, even if Trist can solve a few, it will not solve the problem. It's better to wait until you get close and then solve it together, it's really not possible to quickly deal with most of the skeleton mages and retreat quickly, their goal is only to eliminate the skeleton mages and cut off the source of skeleton warriors, not to be responsible for destroying the skeleton army. With George, Jerry, and Blinkin opening the way, Trist's advance is much simpler, and in a relatively safe position, it is more convenient to observe the situation on the entire battlefield, direct the actions of the entire team, and provide a certain degree of fire support. Trist is not equipped with a firearm, although the firearm is sometimes very labor-saving, but the bullet of the firearm is limited, and the bullet of the firearm still has a certain weight, no matter from which aspect, for Trist, who is originally a shooter, there is no need to use a firearm.
Will the skeleton army allow a few people to move forward? Of course not, no, it is not only the skeleton warriors who stand in the way in front of a few people, but also the skeleton captains! The skeleton captain is a higher-level necromantic unit than the skeleton warriors and so on, and it is no longer completely cannon fodder, and a single skeleton captain may not be as good as George and the others alone, but what if there are multiple skeleton captains? In the sea of skeleton warriors, eight skeleton captains appeared in front of George and the others, and they brought great pressure to the four of them. At this time, Blinkin bore the brunt of the attack, and the three skeleton captains retreated as advances, and the bone shield shield rushed in front of him, and Blinkin did not show weakness and also held the bone shield he had just picked up, and crashed into the three skeleton captains. Although Blinkin was burly, he couldn't fight three with one after all, although he was not injured at all, and he was indeed knocked back again and again, this initial confrontation sounded the horn of a fierce battle between the two sides, George and Jerry also fought two skeleton captains each, leaving one skeleton captain and Trist to confront, neither of them was in a hurry to join the battlefield, and the other party tried to find a suitable time and angle to cut into the battlefield at the same time, which was considered a sneak attack.
Blinkin was under great pressure in the face of the three skeleton captains, of course, he also focused on defense by retreating, and the other party couldn't do anything with him in a short time, even after the initial collision, the bone knife slashed, Blinkin's speed was faster than them, even if they wanted to get out, it was not easy, it should be said that they were restrained by Blinkin, because their bodies themselves occupied a lot of positions, and they were still wandering, and the skeleton warriors around them couldn't find the opportunity to cut in, so they let them confront each other like this. Every collision is a contest of strength, there are not many skills, the bone knife comes to the bone shield to collide, the bone shield to come, or the bone shield to collide, although Blinkin is in a weak position, but the long-lasting physical strength and internal breath of the physical sorcerer are destined to be not comparable to the other party's long-lasting combat effectiveness. It's just that in this army of skeletons, is it really good to compete for lasting combat effectiveness?
On the other side, George and Jerry faced the two skeleton captains, and the six knives were waved frequently, and it was actually George and Jerry who had the upper hand. A skeleton captain slashed at him, George stepped forward, the saber bladed each other, and a clever angle flicked off the skeleton captain's bone knife, and the homeopathic blade slashed at the skeleton captain, so that the skeleton captain had no time to swing the knife to defend, but there was a bone shield in the other hand of the skeleton captain, which did not require much skill at all, the bone shield blocked George's saber, if the bone shield was forcibly cut, the spiritual power required was probably many times that of the bone knife, George and Ji Ruo would not do this. At this time, the attack of another skeleton captain also arrived, and the huge strength of the skeleton captain, the bone knife carrier, forced George to roll around on the ground to dodge, and most of the subsequent attacks and defenses were like this. Even so, George still has the upper hand, his positioning is originally a "warrior" in hand-to-hand combat, and his speed, strength, and skill are better than skeleton warriors (George's strength is probably the strongest among these young physical warriors, and his strength is close to the 2000+ level, not just reaching the 1000+ level, not to mention that Blinkin has no problem dealing with three skeleton captains, he only needs to deal with two now), Jerry's situation is not much worse than George's.
But Blinkin only needs to deal with the skeleton captain, George and Jerry are dealing with the two skeleton captains at the same time, and a large number of skeleton warriors come out to die, the two have to free up their strength to deal with these enemies, but there is no need to think about protecting Trist, after all, Trist himself is also a powerful physical artist.
