Chapter 680: The Rabble (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
Spells and magic are all within a range of effect, and originally only a part of the positive energy spells were needed to fully cover those undead, which is the so-called fire coverage, and in the three rounds of attacks just now, the fire coverage of the crusading troops was seriously repeated, which was a great waste.
What's more, after these spells are wasted, there is no way to replenish them again in a short period of time, take a Knights of the Hot Heart as an example, they are all novices who have just stepped into the ranks of paladins, the level is only level five, this level of paladin spell ability is originally very few, only holy healing (once a day, can heal teammates and yourself, can form damage to the undead), fight evil (once a day), dispel undead creatures (once a day, the effect is the same level, The paladin's ability to dispel the undead is equivalent to half the priest's level)
In other words, when those paladins are after the three-plate axe, they completely lose their spell-like abilities! As a result, it has almost become a complete melee knight.,(The seventh level of the paladin couldn't cast spells with scrolls before.,So you don't have to think about the magic scroll.,When the paladin is level seven.,You can only have the ability to cast magic skills)
This is undoubtedly a waste! Because for the paladin, these low-level undead don't take much effort to destroy them with weapons. Those spells can be distributed more effectively, resulting in a continuous and effective hit! Instead of being consumed as soon as the war starts!
As mentioned earlier, paladins are relatively more likely to act in small teams or individuals, and they are very unfamiliar with group operations, they don't understand the distribution of firepower in large-scale operations at all, they just reflexively see the enemy and shoot directly, and they don't think about the firepower allocation at all.
This is the legendary rabble, not a single soldier with strong quality can definitely become a strong army. For example, Maozi in history, the fighting nation is famous for its fierceness, and it is a nation that has nothing to fight with bears, but what about when it comes to war? They will only use people to pile up, and the mustaches in history are not piled to death.
At the same time, the orcs in this time and space also have a bit of this meaning, the strength of the orcs in individual combat is undoubted, in fact, in terms of ordinary small soldiers heads-up, the orcs are estimated to be the strongest in the mainland, but when it comes to large-scale battles, those guys will only whine and rush in a swarm, either the enemy will be killed by a wave of recklessness, or they will be finished.
Now these paladins mean the same thing, with only enemies in their eyes, completely ignoring the presence of allies.
Not only the paladins, but also those priests, who did not cooperate at all, only thinking about quickly destroying the enemy and supporting their front-line teammates, completely forgetting the limitations of their own divine skills.
Of course, this can't be blamed entirely on them, after all, religious organizations really implement military management and training internally, which is very taboo, except for the Church of the God of War Kampas, other churches are very likely to cause a joint resistance of the aristocratic group, if the religious organization has an army, then it will need the secular power to dry up? And only a religious country like the Glorious Plains can play like this. (The Church of Camppass is still an exception, because they themselves are a military organization, so many countries are very resistant to the Church of Camppass, and only the basic plate of the Church of Camppass can have the Great Temple of Campas, and the scale of the Church of Camppass in other regions is not large)
"They're consuming our spells! How can it be? How could a group of brainless undead have such a tactic? ”
After Witherland's order was given, it quickly caused confusion among the troops, because these rangers who had not experienced the combat training of the corps did not know how to distribute their vitality, so an interesting scene appeared on the battlefield, the long horizontal battle line was still saturated in some places, and in other places it was completely dumb, and those places that cast magic did not have a smart choice to open the spell coverage and still only saturate and attack the enemy in front of them.
Casualties began to appear on the front, and the blows of the undead began to work.
Fighting a war is never a matter of having a meal and ordering to solve the problem, in fact, Witherland's order is not only useless but also counterproductive, because if you don't understand, you don't understand, you give an order, and the people underground still don't understand, and when the whole is disconnected, the battle will naturally fall into chaos.
"I said, how did you graduate from a knight's squire? You paladins don't take military exams now? "Solam actually doesn't understand military affairs, but he can look at it, just now Solam mocked Wesselan not because of any military, he just felt that the undead's approach was wrong, Solam had seen the undead gathering place with his own eyes, and knew that there were many middle and high-level undead there, but he didn't see the shadow of those guys after watching it for a long time, and he came out of some low-level cannon fodder, and many undead in this kind of layer can be summoned by themselves, and they are worthless at all, so what are they coming out for, and you still need to guess? It's definitely for consumption.
Soram doesn't know much about military affairs, but there is one thing Soram still understands, that is, never do what the enemy wants you to do in battle, this is Solam's uncle, the king of the clan heads-up told him the truth, although it is simple, it is applicable to any battle, whether it is a heads-up or a group fight, it is just as useful.
As for Solam's reaction now, it is the confusion caused by Witherland's order just now. Damn, it's good that the order is messed up if you don't give an order, this kind of boss is a proper pit!
Actually, Solam really wronged Witherland, although Witherland reacted slowly, he still guessed the enemy's purpose in the end, so he gave the order to stop the spell strike, but the problem is that this pit daddy's array makes Witherland's orders impossible to convey well at all, after all, the orders of this world are conveyed by roaring.
Witherland's orders were conveyed by the adjutant to the various commanders, who were telling the junior officers, who in turn passed them on to the minions......
The horizontal swing of the battle columns, coupled with a weak front, allowed almost all the troops to spread out horizontally and go into battle, so well, how can the transmission and execution of orders be ensured?
After all, whether it is the commander or the small soldier has joined the battle, you just want to find out who is difficult, all can only shout all the way, as for whether you listen to it or not, whether it will be executed if you hear it, it is completely up to the sky.
You say it's not a pit, plus many low-level young paladins used to act alone or in small teams, and a group of people with high autonomy in battle, they basically fought how they wanted, and they were not suitable for someone next to them to command.
So all of this creates chaos in front of us.
"Just because those undead have no brains doesn't mean that the people behind others don't have brains. Vampires don't show up, but that doesn't mean they can't manipulate behind their backs. ”
The average undead don't have any brains, but vampires are different, although these guys are more selfish, but their brains are really good, after all, vampires will not look for those crooked melons and cracked dates if they want to be the first to hug, and the longer they live, the more cunning the vampires become, because the stupid ones have turned to ashes.
"......." Witherland felt that what Soram said made sense, he didn't even have room to refute, he kept thinking that the vampires were cowering in front of the seal and didn't dare to show their heads, and he didn't think that those vampires would still make trouble behind.
"What now?"
"How did I know that the commander-in-chief was you." Isn't asking Soram what to do? He wanted to know what to do, and with his pretending personality, he had already taken power from Witherland and started calling the shots.
"One thing I can warn you about is that the commandos have to start preparing right away, and I don't want to face vampires and their elite undead with a bunch of people who aren't in good shape."
"But ......." Witherland looked at the front line that had been put together, a little hesitant, there is no doubt that the people of the commando team are elites, after all, there are only three hundred people, and they are the most dangerous tasks, of course, the best of the best, 300 people, tentatively 190 high-level paladins, 80 high-level priests, 20 mages, and the rest are Solam and a few other adventurers.
Solam and those adventurers were selected before entering the sewers, Solam they are strong, and they have seen the situation of the seal, so they will naturally enter the commando, and several other adventurers are not necessarily, among them is a wanderer, two warriors, a rare heavy armor shield warrior, and finally a druid.
If these guys can enter the commando, it means that they are not ordinary people. That druid, in particular, is said to be very famous in the north and is known as the Son of the Oak!
They didn't go to the front line at the beginning of the battle, but looked indifferently at the front line directly in the rear, but the remaining paladins and priests of the commando team were not so stable, and they couldn't sit still when they saw their comrades and undead on the front line killing together, and they couldn't sit still one by one, they couldn't sit back and watch their comrades in the safe rear and watch their comrades shed blood and sacrifice, and they asked to go to support.
This is also a common problem of the good camp, they can't calmly look at things with pure gains and losses, they always have a strong will to be in charge of things, which often leads them to do something that is detrimental to the overall situation, not that kindness can necessarily represent good things, and there are really not too many cases of good intentions doing bad things.
For example, now, those guys are so desperate to support their comrades that they have completely forgotten their own tasks, maybe they know, but they can't turn a blind eye to everything in front of them, in their opinion, supporting their comrades and completing the task are not necessarily conflicting.
But this is not the case in the eyes of Solam, their mission is dangerous, and they can't bear to face dangerous enemies with a group of teammates who are not in good shape. Their eyes are more about the pros and cons, although they are more indifferent, but they are the most correct view. Their task now is to rest, and then wait for more undead to be attracted out by their comrades in front.
And the reason for Witherland's hesitation is also based on the common problem of the good camp, he is not a cold-blooded soldier after all, although he is the leader of a military organization, a real soldier will not be so indecisive, in the eyes of a soldier, everything except victory is secondary.
