Chapter 181: Cavalry Archers in the Game
A group of hunter players, after listening to the old demon's words, couldn't help but be stunned.
"Chief, you mean, let's get back on our mounts before the centaurs get here?" A hunter player named Wind Chimes was the first to react, and blurted out a surprised old demon.
"That's right!" The old demon nodded and said, "What I want is for you to return to the mount in the shortest possible time, at the end of the attack!" Then start running backwards! ”
"I'll do the math for you!" The old demon simply sat on the ground: "Your ghost wolf mount, the speed is 20 meters per second, which is equivalent to every second in the process of chasing and running, After 25 seconds, the distance between you centaurs will return to the original point of 100 meters, and at that time, you can immediately dismount and repeat the attack action, although the sniper skill is temporarily unusable, but since this 100 seconds is still within your attack range, you can also change to other skills to attack at will. ”
The old demon finally concluded: "This is equivalent to an alternative kite tactic!" It's just that you rely on your mount to achieve it, and it's much faster than you just run with your running skills! If you have less time to mount, the shorter the time to reach your maximum attack range. ”
"This ...... Will this work? Wind Chimes hesitated and said what hunter players were thinking: "On the official website, doesn't it say that you can't summon mounts in a combat state?" ”
"No, no! You have misunderstood this sentence! The old demon smiled and said: "Actually, I was originally a little confused by this sentence, but yesterday I found someone to experiment, and the situation of not being able to summon a mount actually means that you are attacked and enter the combat state, rather than launching an attack to enter the combat state!" ”
"That is, if you can guarantee that you are not hit by any attacks! Then you can summon mounts! Do you understand? The old demon said: "This setting, I guess it's for the sake of the system in order to prevent players with high-speed mounts from using mounts to escape from the battlefield in the combat state, in that case, if there is a high-speed mount, basically no one can kill him." ”
"But, if you follow what you said at the beginning, with such a mount kite tactic, wouldn't the archers be invincible!?" After the hunter players figured out what the old demon meant, they suddenly cried out in surprise: "If you can really do what you said, keep shooting from a distance, then wouldn't no one be able to hit it?" ”
There is a reason why players are so surprised, because the hunter's long-range attack distance is the farthest, and after the talent point bonus, no one can catch up with the distance of 100 meters, and together with the mage of the ranged profession, the maximum attack distance is only 70 meters, which is not within reach at all...... If it is really as the old demon said in theory, relying on the speed of the mount to keep pulling away and then turning back to shoot, such a tactic is really invincible.
However, this was just their understanding, but the old demon smiled and said, "How is this possible? Have you not discovered why I brought you to the plains? This is because this tactic has a drawback, it needs to have a lot of room to move! ”
It is undeniable that the tactics of the archers are indeed powerful, but as the old demon said, such tactics can only be used on flat plain terrain at most, because once they reach other bad terrain, the mount will reduce the movement speed due to the influence of the terrain, and if the surrounding movement space is not large, it will not be able to pull the maximum attack distance with the enemy, so it is easy to be caught up by the enemy, and this tactic will not be used.
Awakened by the old demon so little, the wind chimes thought about their group of hunter players, and then suddenly.
In fact, the idea of archers has been there for a long time in ancient China, and the old demon only thought of it because he discovered the fast movement speed of the ghost wolf, precisely because he was not a veteran player with a long history of the game, and was not affected by the previous game mode, so his thinking was more active, and he actually thought of the idea of reproducing this archer in the game.
Of course, it is precisely because the archers have such a high terrain demand, so the old demon does not plan to cultivate too much, such archers can only be used as surprise soldiers, maybe in the battlefield, they can receive good results.
Think about it, how many of these twenty-four hunter players can dodge when they stand far away and snipe at the same person together? And when the opposing teammate wanted to chase them and kill them, they found that they had already returned to their mounts as soon as they turned around, and fled quickly, and then opened the distance and continued to release cold arrows, I am afraid that many people will be killed by headaches...... Disturbing, containing, this is what the old demon wants to achieve for the archers.
"Alright, now that everyone understands what I mean, let's test it out!" The old demon stood up and said, "If you can control your riding movements for two to three seconds or something, then you can talk about it." ”
The hunter players listened to the words of the old demon, and couldn't help but smack their tongues, don't look at the old demon said easily, theoretically, when the mount is summoned, it takes a second of guidance time, and it takes 0.5 seconds to raise your hand to let it appear in the position you want, turn over and ride up, why do you need a second, right? Therefore, the term "old demon" is theoretical, and if you really want to achieve such a tight time grasp, you must have a lot of practice for players.
"Then, now it's time for the actual combat drill!" The old demon turned over and rode on the back of the Black Mountain, looked at a group of hunter players standing on the ground, and said: "Wait a minute, after I shout to start, you will fire at will at will at the centaurs within your attack range, and then after shooting the arrows, immediately summon the mount, and then turn around and run backwards, understand?" ”
"Got it!" The hunter players replied in unison, nervous but also a little excited, they knew very well that this was actually the old demon training everyone's cooperation, they were very interested in this, they all wanted to try how much everyone's cooperation could go, but they were afraid that one would be uncoordinated, which would lead to chaos, so they were a little nervous.
Seeing that they were all ready, the old demon immediately shouted: "Begin!" ”
Brushing the ground, the hunter players raised their bows and arrows one after another, although it still looks quite neat, but in fact, the old demon has already found out, and there are still many people who are slow down!
This is actually related to the nerve reflexes of the crowd, just like when an athlete hears a gunshot during a sprint, he does not start at the same time.
For this, the old demon didn't care too much, as long as this kind of action slowed down for no more than a second, there was no problem, everyone was originally an ordinary player, if you want their actions to be completely unified, it would be too harsh.
10 seconds later, with the whistling sound of the arrows, the twenty-four sniper skills were launched, although it seemed that they were all shot at the same time, but because there were already people who were slow when they started, so the arrows shot were also shot first and last.
In this position, the hobbit centaur in the hunter's attack range, there are three in total, the first one is more unlucky, hit sixteen arrows in a row, sniper skills are the strongest attack skills of the hunter profession, and some of the sniper skills of players at this level have been upgraded to level 2, and the damage has been increased a lot, so the old demon saw a series of huge damage numbers on the centaur's head from a distance, accompanied by several critical hits, and tens of thousands of blood were knocked off when he landed. It was directly killed in seconds.
Players with more than 30 levels and 24 level monsters are indeed easier to kill.
And the remaining two centaurs who were hit by the arrows,Because of the attack,So immediately rushed to this side,Although their alert range is 53 meters,But that's the active attack type of monsters,Will attack the player who appears within its 53 meters,This is the concept of the warning range,Once attacked,,They will chase after it no matter how far away。
"Good! Hurry up and get on the mount! The old demon shouted.
In fact, there was no need for him to remind them, the hunter players who had been prepared for a long time summoned their mounts as soon as they released their sniper skills.
The old demon has been watching the system time next to them, from the time the skill is released to the last person summoning the mount, this time the hunter players took less than 5 seconds, about 4.5 seconds!
It's good, it's not as good as it would have been, but it's a bit of progress!
In 4.5 seconds, with a high-speed monster like a centaur, it can already rush to a distance of nearly 82 meters, and the players see the centaur rushing over with the sound of roaring horses' hooves, and hurriedly control the mount to turn around.
It took another 0.5 seconds to turn around...... If the player is attacked on the mount, they will be forcibly removed from the mount state, so for a full 5 seconds, the original 100 meters of separation distance is 90 meters closer to the Centaur pull, if you give the Centaur a second, they can make the Hunter players unable to sit on the mount...... The scene was still quite tense, seeing that the centaur was less than 10 meters behind him, the hunter players hurriedly controlled the ghost wolf under the seat and ran.
As long as they run, the centaurs will naturally not be able to catch up with everyone, that's for sure, but the old demon hid aside and found that when everyone ran like this, the formation was suddenly chaotic.
If the formation is out of order, the players in it will not be able to use the speed of their mounts, and will be blocked by others...... The old demon didn't bring it up at this time, everyone's nerves were a little tense at this time, and even if they brought it up, they didn't know how to adjust it, so the old demon just chose to watch silently.
However, the next problem came again, although everyone knew that such a kite had to run in a straight line to be able to distance itself from the monster, but it was clear that they had forgotten one thing, that there were other places on the plain that were also refreshing the centaur...... It didn't take long for the players to find that there were more and more centaurs following them!
That's because when they ran past the other centaurs, they got the ...... "Wow! Chief! Help me! The hunters screamed, not knowing what to do......
