Chapter 187: The Battle of the Brigade (I)

The camera hidden in the darkness moves slightly, and the shadows of tall pines and cedars are reflected in the arc-shaped field of vision, and the sky and earth are slightly curved, incorporating the three cautious shadows in the northeast.

The leader of the rangers, wearing a long feathered cloak, was leaning down, holding a birch longbow in his hand, his expression was focused, but he did not know that he had entered the field of vision of others. One hundred and twenty meters to his west, Alyssa, hidden in the canopy, threw a pebble into the bushes in that direction, but the Ranger Captain did not react.

She changed direction again and extended the stone forward twenty meters, but the result was the same. The third time she got up and threw the stone as far as she could at the limit of three o'clock, only to stop this time the Ranger Captain and raise his hand for the others to stop.

He looked in that direction, and the forest formed a huge cavity under his gaze, dark and hollow inside, and the trees became distorted and unreal under this vision, but between the twisted trees were red specks of color.

Some of them are fleeting, some of them twist and turn, and some of them may be rodents in the woods, the traces of a pit viper under the bushes, and some faint red spots, which are the background sounds of the forest.

The muffled chirping of insects and the movement of leaves in the wind all left a faint red mark in this vast and dark vision, but only a truly seasoned ranger could judge what he wanted in the eyes of a night owl. And the more complex the background sound, the more difficult it is to distinguish -

Alyssa's pebble tumbled through the grass, leaving a bright red dot and then quickly dimming, looking like the sound marks left by a fledgling turtledove, which the Ranger Captain easily missed.

The Ranger Captain gestured to his teammates, signaling Alert Level One in the forest to the west, and behind him was an alchemist in a gray coat, a golden light buzzing out of his hand, hovering in mid-air for a moment before flying in that direction.

Alyssa held her breath as she watched as the golden light hovered over the woodland almost thirty meters away from her for a week before flying back and disappearing into obscurity.

The forest is silent in the eyes of ordinary people, but there are rich details lurking underneath the silence.

"Sound level six, hearing limit, sixty meters."

A voice was heard in the forest.

The voice came again from a tiny crystal on Alyssa's earlobe: "Miss Alyssa, at four o'clock it turns north, fifty meters, and it stays there in the shadow of the cedar tree. It is 120 degrees in front of it, and it is a warning range. ”

Alyssa nodded slightly.

A higher view captures the grass and trees in the forest below, and although it lacks detail, it is unobstructed to see the movement over long distances and a wide range.

And the eye in the darkness also began to retreat equidistant from the direction of the opponent's ranger.

After the fleeting flash of red, the forest fell silent, and nothing changed for the Ranger Captain. It's just that he didn't know that beyond the limits of his hearing, a huge black domain was forming.

Two blades of light disappeared behind the trees.

Those still visions are reflected in more figures.

Alyssa pressed her ear to the point, observing the direction as she whispered a little bit of detail.

The description of the two people outlines an almost complete picture -

In the mixed forest, the elites of the Dragon Fire Guild formed a sharp arrow in a clear layer. At the apex of the triangle at the front is a ranger leader, a battle craftsman, and a two-handed swordsman who form the arrows of this arrow.

On the left and right, a paladin and an iron guard protect the wings.

And from a broader perspective, there is also a team in the northeast and northwest corners of this team, and the three teams are in full force, covering each other and carefully penetrating into the woodland.

At this point, although the Dragon Fire Guild side has not yet noticed, the first round of battles between the two sides has come to an end. It's just that for the Seven Seas Brigade, the result wasn't perfect either.

Alyssa counted a total of sixteen people, but at least four people were missing, and they did not enter their field of vision.

These four men are supposed to be nightingales, or something like that.

Among the mainstream Scouting professions in Aitalia, the Combat Craftsman and Magus are primarily responsible for long-range scouting.

Among them, combat craftsmen are more comprehensive, more active, and have the ability to coordinate the battlefield, but their reconnaissance capabilities are also more fragile and easier to detect. The Wizard's detection ability is more passive, but more secure and stealthy, and is often the best choice for defensive detection.

As for the Nightingale and the Ranger, they are a pair of spears and shields that follow you on the battlefield.

Without the Nightingale, the Combat Craftsman's reconnaissance ability to see the battlefield might have been far superior to that of the Ranger. But it is precisely because of the existence of the shadow that the light of the ranger is more valuable.

After all, the battle craftsman lacked detection skills and related perceptual attributes, just like although the forest was now fully visible in Fang Yuan's field of vision, he couldn't tell what was hidden in the shadows under the forest.

The rangers, on the other hand, have the longest ability to distinguish details, they don't even need to look, just by hearing, they can perceive everything in the darkness.

As for the nightingale, it is not how far they can see, but how close they can get. So even for Fang Ou, you need to be careful of these eyes hidden in the shadows.

Alyssa, who was motionless at the moment, was such an 'eye' - in the case of being still, the difference between several levels was not even nothing, and with Fang Yuan's 'vision advantage', she also discovered a 'colleague' from the Dragon Fire Guild one step ahead.

The other party was hidden beneath a dense patch of ferns, moving silently.

It's only seventeen, and it's three people short.

Alyssa believes that there are more nightingales located in a direction away from herself.

However, she did not dare to change her position easily. The stationary Nightingale is often the most imperceptible eyeliner on the battlefield, but once it moves, the difference in rank of several levels can become an Achilles' heel.

Therefore, even Fang Yu reminded her not to leave her observation position easily.

Fang Yu decided to find another way to attack.

In fact, after experiencing so many battles, the different fighting styles of the Seven Seas Brigade gradually began to form an internal tacit understanding.

At this moment, the Paparals, who were located in the east, after carefully observing the situation for a while, realized that their position was relatively safe, so they began to take the initiative to try to move north, and insert themselves into the flank and rear of the Dragonfire Guild Brigade.

It was only because he was not skilled that he made a big circle to get to that direction.

Parker waved his short, chubby hands and feet, and it took a lot of effort to climb up to an ash tree. He leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, propped up the magic crossbow, then narrowed one eye, stretched out the thumb of his right hand, and gestured in the direction of the Dragonfire Guild.

There are still words in his mouth.

When Fang Yu noticed this scene, he was slightly surprised in his heart.

At this moment, although the Dragon Fire Guild's side was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of reconnaissance, the Ranger Leader was quite vigilant, and constantly kept the team moving forward in a broken line, not easily revealing any flaws.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and decided to cooperate with Parker in the battle.

He suddenly retracted his vision, held his glove in one hand, and adjusted the magic gimbal above. Then stretch out your right hand flat, palm facing up, and raise your fingers slightly upward.

The wind rose in the forest.

Luo Hao raised his head and watched as a golden wind blew in the forest, and the 'swarm' buzzed and flapped its wings and took off, flying into the air, and disappearing above the forest canopy.

Fang Yu noticed his distraction, and then spoke: "Protect me, there may be nightingales on the other side here, I can't find them-"

Luo Hao nodded, then put down the shield in his hand, and pressed it with both hands to stand among the fallen leaves and soil.

North of the forest.

The Paparal man finally stopped his thoughts, withdrew his hand, and muttered in a low voice as if talking to himself:

"Three shots, high throw trajectory, blocking shot."

"Five, Four, Three, Two, One......"

Then he raised the huge crossbow in his hand and shot three arrows into the sky above the forest with a thud.

Although the distance was far away, the loud and different sounds of the bowstring still attracted the attention of the ranger leader.

He turned his head sideways, a fleeting red glow in his gaze. The sound of breaking through the air formed three thin lines in his pitch-black vision, causing him to raise his head and look over the group.

Then the next moment, the ranger leader dragged the combat craftsman beside him and jumped to the side with all his might, and the two-handed swordsman on his side reacted very quickly, only the ranger leader was on the line, and one rolled towards the black pine on one side.

Three stars descended in midair.

Before the three bolts hit the ground, the timer on the blast crystal was activated, and three blinding lights exploded over the forest, spreading the magic like mist, with a rushing flame. The canopy burst into flames and bloomed with a bright aura.

Wherever the halo passed, the pine needles evaporated and vaporized, turning into a piece of soot and falling in a flutter. The mist spread like a rain of steam in the middle of the woodland.

With the vibration and dust of the explosion, a small golden object silently flew into the mist, and then vanished.

No one was aware of it.

The crossbowman's level 15 explosive shot is no longer as powerful as it used to be, and although the Heartburst Ranger, Battle Craftsman, and Two-handed Swordsman are all affected to varying degrees, their impact is quite limited.

The other two bolts missed slightly, and one of the most seriously injured mages in the envelope was only swept away by the blast wave and rolled on the ground a few times.

A few hundred points of shield damage is not a deterrent for a Elector of this level.

What's more, for the members of the brigade, almost everyone has the most elite equipment of a guild on their bodies, and their attribute values are even extraordinary.

The healer immediately jumped up from the ground and ran towards the wounded. But first an Iron Guard dragged him to the ground, and with a sound of wind, a crossbow bolt shot from where the two had been. In fact, at this distance, this arrow is already a blind cat meeting a dead mouse for Parker.

What's more, at the end of the strong crossbow, even if this arrow is shot, it may not be able to cause much damage.

But instead, it exposes the location of the Paparals.

The Ranger Captain, crouched on the ground, didn't think about it, raised his longbow and fired an arrow in that direction—Puck had already crawled keenly between the tree trunks below, so the arrow passed through his head and exploded there.

The stored aetheric mana in the magic arrow exploded like a blister, forming a cloud of magical dust, which had no physical form, and as soon as it landed on Parker's body, it disappeared into nothingness.

However, the Ranger Captain immediately gestured to a magician not far behind him.

Seeing this, the latter raised his hand, and an invisible ripple swept forward with him as the center - detecting magic, and where the ripple passed, the forest did not change in the slightest.

But the Paparals, tainted with magical dust, lit up like a kilowatt light bulb.

Startled, he hurriedly hid behind the trunk of the tree, and immediately behind him were two arrows that were nailed to the trunk. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the ranger leader put away his bow, raised his right hand and gestured silently to the others, indicating that there was only one person there.

"Outflanking left and right."

The five people on the Dragonfire Guild's Blade, except for the battle craftsman who remained in place and released three clockwork goblins. The others immediately separated left and right, and headed north along the forest, surrounding the Paparals.

Fang Yu watched this scene through a mid-air vision.

At this time, he caught the position of the second nightingale, twelve meters to the left of the opponent's Iron Guard, slid like a shadow in the direction where Parker was, and soon fell out of his field of vision again.

But he quietly let these people go—

As the second team of the Dragonfire Guild followed the Blade Squad through the area, small golden balls suddenly swirled from the dead leaves, and they buzzed and flew towards their nearest target.

Before the elites of the Dragon Fire Guild could react to what it was, a dazzling light appeared in their eyes, and that pure and flawless white light poured straight into everyone's eyes, replacing everything they had seen at the last moment.

There was a loud bang.

The raging flames and exploding shards engulfed the Iron Guard who had rushed ahead, the healer behind him, another ranger, an elemental, and the magician who had previously cast spells with them.

The chain of explosions produced a far greater power than the explosive crossbow bolts of the Paparals before, and after a golden glow, the howling wind almost blew the surrounding pine trees to fall in all directions.

The battle craftsman in the back was pushed out of the way and slammed into a rock, almost knocking out a star. He looked up with a splitting headache, only to see that of the five people who had disappeared in front of him, only the only remaining hand of the mage's hand flew out of the center of the explosion and landed in the soft taiga.

The battle craftsman opened his mouth.

At the moment of the explosion, the Ranger leader in front turned around, and the strong wind blew in his face, causing his cloak to hunt. He pressed his cloak and realized that he had been ambushed by the other side.

However, he didn't have much regret in his heart - such an ambush was also expected, and the enemy would always lose his life in the dark.

They lost the mage group, but it was acceptable.

The Ranger Leader calmly made a judgment in his heart, and at the same time reached out and grabbed the two-handed swordsman who wanted to go back, and gestured to the other remaining squad on the other side of the explosion:

"Go around in a circle."

"Don't come directly, there's an ambush."

The group understood, and nodded to him from afar.

Only then did the ranger leader pat his companion and said for the first time: "Continue to find the other party's crossbowman, don't let the other party lead the nose." ”

"We don't have much choice, we have to grasp what the other side has exposed and force the other side to show up."

The two-handed swordsman was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

And above mid-air, looking at the brigades of the Dragon Fire Guild that were separated on both sides, Fang Yu couldn't help but pause. The speed of the opponent's reaction and the accuracy of his judgment greatly exceeded his expectations—you must know that the opponent made such a decision under the absolute disadvantage of battlefield perception.

He'd seen countless classic battles, pinnacle battles with the Grand Guilds, those impressive battles, but he didn't surprise him at the moment. Because after all, it was from the Crown of the Silver Forest, from the Rose Crusaders, or from the Elite.

But right now, it's just a brigade of the Dragon Fire Guild, and it actually has such a level.

It can only be said that the brigade deserves to be a brigade and a place where elites gather.

Fang Yu suddenly put away his contempt, and with a movement of his fingers, a golden light shot out from under the dead leaves, flying straight towards the group of people who were turning in that direction.

And one of the dexterous swordsmen on the other side, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, suddenly turned around, drew his sword, and threw it back. The knife came out of his hand like a bolt of lightning, shooting straight at his clockwork goblin and piercing through it.

The clockwork elf, which had been cut in half, still maintained its momentum of flying forward due to inertia, and then lost its momentum and landed in the pine forest not far away.

When Fang Yu saw this scene, he understood that it was almost impossible for his fire giant spirit to hit these people head-on, and it was even difficult to get close. The clockwork elf, who is quick and quick in the eyes of ordinary people, does not seem to be an unpredictable object in the eyes of these people.

He immediately gave up the follow-up attack.

After entering the twentieth level, the various professions began to exert their strength, and the first strong period after the fifteenth level of the combat craftsman began to enter the end. And it wasn't until after level twenty-seven that ordinary battle craftsmen would usher in a second period of strength.

All the way up to level forty.

In Fang Yuan's field of vision, the dexterous swordsman also stopped, frowning and looking in this direction. But the other party was obviously very cautious, and did not intend to lean over to check it, but only turned around and said to his teammates:

"It's kind of like an alchemy bomb for demon thieves, I don't know what it is."

"But the captain is right, there should be quite a few of these things in the woodland, and we'd better get out of the way."

Several people nodded in unison.

When Fang Yu saw them leaving, he looked to the north. I knew in my heart that this battle had just begun.
