Chapter 76: Elf's Advice! (2nd Update)
The sky was just dawning.
Sauron was already up, he washed up briefly, and then went to the martial arts training ground outside the room to exercise his muscles. The progress of sword mastery has once again entered a period of accumulation, and Sauron is now training in crow tactics. This is much more difficult to master than the sword momentum, and he has been practicing for several months, but he still hasn't made much progress. Under normal circumstances, this kind of mid-to-high-end combat skills take up to three or five years to master a part.
Sword stance is a one-move attack, while crow tactics are a set of attacks.
It's like the difference between a powerful sword technique and a set of powerful sword techniques, which also includes the technique of bursting, the technique of lifting qi and accumulating strength, and the skill of continuous combination of moves, etc. These things require special training and the ability to master the corresponding skills, just like Sauron has just finished using his sword power and can't immediately charge up his sword power to decapitate. The pinnacle of this skill is still the Juggernaut, and many combat skills can only be used by them.
Sauron moved for a while, and the sky was getting brighter.
He pulled out a three-shot crossbow, reloaded his ammunition with both hands at a rapid pace, and fired at the target a hundred meters away. It wasn't too far, but it wasn't close, and Sauron barely took aim, and he raised his hand and shot at the target in front of him. With his current strength and attributes, there is almost no need to specifically aim to shoot, and the probability of hitting is quite high. All the abilities in terms of attributes extend to various fields, so attributes are also the most difficult abilities to improve.
Tremble!
All three bolts hit the target, and all of them hit hearts.
But there was not the slightest smug on Sauron's face, because it was only the simplest shooting technique, which in the eyes of many people was nothing at all. He calmly continued to reload his bolts, then ran from left to right, moving at breakneck speeds while shooting at distant targets as he rolled and dodged.
Tremble!
All three bolts still hit, but this time only one hit the heart.
Sauron looked at the target in front of him and frowned slightly. He doesn't have any expertise in long-range shooting, and it's not easy to hit targets at high speeds for long distances, relying entirely on his strong agility attributes (balance, coordination, hit rate, etc.). But this is really nothing, a real master can move at high speed and the enemy is also moving at high speed, directly hitting the heart of the target, that can be regarded as a real marksman. If it's just a marksman according to the standard of ordinary people, then most elves who are good at bows and crossbows can do it.
The conditions are still insufficient, there is no modern training equipment, and high-speed mobile shooting must be mastered in real combat.
Sauron fiddled with the triple crossbow in his hand, then reloaded it and shot it into the sky. With a clattering sound, a palm-sized bird was shot down.
Bang Bang Bang!
There was a round of applause in the distance, and then I saw the Drow Elf that Sauron had let go, his name was Darkblade-Andri, and he was the battle master of the Drow Elves and the leader of the Drow Warriors. This drow elven warrior was followed by two people, and he looked at Sauron in front of him and leaned over slightly, and then exclaimed, "Your Excellency's skills are truly amazing! ”
It's a bit fake.
Sauron had an idea of how good he was shooting, but his face didn't change in the slightest. Just smiled and said, "It's just a casual training, the drow elf is a master of shooting!" ”
Darkblade-Andriy smiled and then pointed, "Do you like to use a crossbow?" ”
"Yes." Sauron frowned slightly, not quite understanding why the other party said this.
The leader of the Drow Elven warriors in front of him glanced at the target in the distance. Then he bowed his head slightly and said, "In my opinion, with Your Excellency's strength, you should not use this kind of bulky and sluggish crossbow at all, only some people with insufficient talent are suitable for using the strong crossbow, because it is too slow to load." And it's not more powerful than a bow and arrow. From my personal point of view, your Excellency is far superior to others in terms of strength, agility, and physical fitness. From an archer's point of view, Your Excellency is a complete genius with a bow and arrow! ……”
Talented?
Hearing this, Sauron couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, in terms of attributes, he did have quite abundant attributes to use bows and arrows. It's just that he has always used a strong crossbow before, and has formed a habit, so he has hardly thought about transforming into using a bow and arrow, until today, when the leader of the Drow Elf warrior in front of him brought it up, Sauron found that using a bow and arrow with his current attributes may have a higher combat power than a strong crossbow.
"Someone."
Darkblade-Andriy turned to look behind him and commanded, "Bring me that elven warbow." ”
One of his subordinates quickly left, and after a while he brought over a dark golden elven warbow, the curve of the surface was very smooth, and there were delicate glyphs on it, as if it had been painted, and it was not clear what Sauron was. This elven warbow is not ordinary at first glance, in fact, all the elven warbows that can be called are not ordinary, they are at least +1 transcendent weapons. Because the bows and arrows made by the elves are more sophisticated than those made by humans, the craftsmanship and materials used cannot be compared.
- "Elven War Bow (+2) [Second Order Transcendent Item]! ”
Darkblade-Andriy handed the elven warbow in his hand to Sauron, and said slowly, "Your Excellency, how about trying this warbow!" You may find that a bow and arrow are more effective than a crossbow! ”
Sauron reached out and took the elven warbow.
In the past, the way he fought was to load the crossbow with ammunition in advance, and then throw it away after firing it during the battle. In fact, Sauron rarely reloads his ammo continuously in battle, always as a one-time consumable. However, today's words from the Drow Elves in front of him all caught his attention, and he also had the heart to test the lethality of his use of the Elven War Bow.
The attendant next to him quickly brought a quiver, which was filled with arrows one by one.
Sauron stood at a distance of about 120 meters from the target, then reached out and picked up an arrow, and shot it smoothly with his bow on the target. He didn't use bows and arrows much, but he wasn't completely unfamiliar with them, but bows and arrows weren't as easy to shoot as crossbows. After all, the crossbow only needs to be fired after the ammunition is loaded, but the bow and arrow have a process of putting the arrow on the bow, but the continuity of the bow and arrow shooting is undoubtedly much better than the strong crossbow.
Suck!
A sharp arrow was fired, and Sauron easily hit the bull's-eye.
His strength is not high, but his agility has 24 points, which means that Sauron's balance and coordination skills are very strong, and anything related to skill, he is very outstanding.
This arrow doesn't mean anything.
Sauron had just tried his skills, and when he had found a feeling, he raised his hand to take the quiver and shot at the target in front of him.
Tremble!
Five sharp arrows were shot out in a row, Sauron shot quite fast, although his strength was not very high, but his endurance was quite good, it took him about a second from aiming to shooting, that is to say, in five seconds he shot continuously, and shot at the target at a rate of one arrow per second. Almost in the next moment, five sharp arrows shot through the air to the distant red heart, and he didn't seem to be unaccustomed to using a bow and arrow, probably because of the role of the versatile hand, he was very accurate in aiming and shooting.
Tremble!
Sauron didn't stop for a moment, there were thirty arrows in his quiver, and he shot ten arrows at each target, which took about thirty-six seconds in total. During this time, he didn't need to rest, and he didn't have any physical strength to keep up with the consumption, until he shot all the arrows in the quiver, he felt a slight soreness in his arm, and the role of his extraordinary physique was undoubtedly played.
The distant target was already full of arrows, and Sauron didn't miss the target, but only twenty-seven arrows hit the heart, three of which didn't hit the heart.
From the point of view of aiming and shooting, this should be considered a good result!
The drow elf next to him was slightly surprised.
Sauron, on the other hand, looked at the target full of arrows in the distance, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, he really seemed to have overlooked something before, maybe the crossbow was not a suitable long-range weapon for his use.
