Chapter 14: The Secret of Shield Warfare
At night, Roger, who had finished combing the plants he had planted, was lying on the grass, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze. The little fireball nestled directly on Roger's belly and slept soundly.
Unlike the stars in his hometown, each star in the Elia continent is a god's kingdom, and the stars in the sky are clearly divided into six camps. It represents the union of the six gods, the main god of the druid and elven factions, the goddess of nature is the leader of one of them, and its members are also the moon god, the goddess of the hunt and other powerful gods of the neutral camp and the good camp. Of course, compared to the alliance composed of powerful gods such as the Lord of Dawn and the Lord of Justice, the gods of the nature god system have always maintained a neutral posture and are not too involved in the battle between gods and demons.
After all, now is the era of the hegemony of the human race, and compared with the main gods of the human race, the gods of the natural line are much worse in terms of the reserve of the power of faith.
With the sound of armor clashing as he walked, someone came to Roger's side and sat down.
Roger didn't have to turn his head to know who was coming, and only Granny was still wearing armor during the break.
In fact, after Alice's injury, Granny was noticeably unusual. And the reason, Roger, who has had several contacts with Alice and others, can also see that Granny is probably Alice's bodyguard. Alice's every move had the air of aristocracy, though she herself was not aware of it, and the unsuitable swordsmanship was clearly a family tradition. Granny was supposed to be the guard in charge of protecting her, but she probably didn't notice Alice's stupid appearance. As for Vivien, none of the magicians have a simple background. Nancy and Kleina sisters are from normal civilian families, and it is still possible for people from noble families to become rangers, but the thief profession is absolutely unacceptable to nobles, sorry for that person.
The object who was supposed to be protected was injured in front of him, which was a huge mistake for the guards. What's worse is that before Roger's arrival, Granny couldn't interfere with Alice's injuries at all. As a fairly responsible guard, it's normal for Granny to feel guilty about this.
In this regard, Roger, as an outsider, has nothing to say, and can only rely on Granny to think about it herself.
I thought so, but Roger really didn't expect Grannie to come directly to him.
Granny sat quietly on the grass, unlike Roger in a daze, her eyes were very hollow, as if there was no focus, and the whole person was in a trance.
"Mr. Roger, what should I do?" Grannie's voice was soft, but it couldn't stop Roger's hearing was good, and he could hear it clearly.
"Then it depends on what you think." Roger is very calm, after all, it is none of his business, so he can calmly analyze Grannie's possible thoughts.
"If you're feeling sorry for not being able to protect Alice, it's easy." Roger was very understated, but Granny was shocked when she heard it, and turned her head to stare at Roger.
"You just have to keep getting stronger, and become strong enough to protect her."
Granny didn't speak, but there was doubt in her eyes.
Roger didn't turn his head, still lazily staring at the sky.
"You have quite excellent perception and observation, the reason why you can't find the hidden Spinning Spider is just because you didn't think about this possibility, in fact, the advanced monsters instinctively know tactics such as ambushes, sneak attacks, and so on."
"By perceiving and observing, you can detect hidden dangers one step ahead of Alice's energetic stupidity, so as to block the opponent's possible attack route in advance."
From the vigorous eyes, it was clear that Granny was listening. After thinking for a moment, Granny asked, "What if the other party is bent on attacking others?" ”
Got to the point. Roger is very satisfied, compared to those children who don't understand everything, Grannie, who is not low in understanding, is very appreciated by Roger.
"Actually, it's very simple, just let the other party only stare at you." As if he could feel Grannie's question, Roger continued without pausing. "As a qualified tank, ahem, I mean shield warfare, the most important thing is to pull, uh, I mean attract the attention of the enemy."
"Use your shield and body to block your opponent's field of vision, and block your opponent's path by moving to the path they have to take with guò footwork. The other party wants to ignore you like a small stone on the side of the road, so you use yourself as a roadblock to directly intercept the other party's way, so that the other party has to face you. ”
"Attacking in Tong Guò makes the other party realize that they can't hurt anyone else without getting rid of you, and you're halfway there."
Grannie was a little enlightened, and a little puzzled. Roger glanced at her cute baby face and continued.
"That's right, it's only half of it!"
"Since you have stopped the other party, you must always stand in front of the other party until they fall!"
Granny understood as soon as she heard it, but she immediately made a bitter face.
"As a qualified, well, shield battle! Attracting the enemy's attention is only half the battle! Half of the more important thing is to block the enemy's attack! ”
"It's hard, especially when you're facing enemies who are far stronger than you."
"But it's not impossible!"
Granny looked surprised and stared at Roger's face.
"I've seen your shield, and you're so wrong!"
"A powerful magical beast like the Spinning Spider will never be able to block its attack directly, and the reason why you were able to survive at that time was only because the Spinning Spider was playing with its prey!"
Granny actually felt this way, after all, the difference in strength between her and the Soul Weaver Spider was too great, and there was no reason to be able to take the attack of the Life Weaver Spider so easily.
"Judging by the hole in your shield, the Spinning Spider is more than capable of piercing the shield with you!"
The more Roger spoke, the more he got into the groove, as if he was teaching a child in the settlement, and his voice became louder and louder. Grannie was fascinated by this, too, and didn't notice that the others were leaning over as well.
Including Alice, who has not recovered from her injuries, Alice's adventure team has already arrived. Hearing this, everyone subconsciously exclaimed, and covered their mouths before they spoke.
Roger, who was already speaking and was closing his eyes to organize the language, didn't notice this, while Granny rolled her eyes at the others and ignored them.
"If it's an arrow or magic attack, it's right to put up a shield, but in the face of a powerful attack like an attack like a spider that wants to spin your life, you're asking for a curse! The right thing to do is to try your best to deflect the attack with a shield instead of resisting! ”
"For example, when the spider legs of the Spinning Spider are stabbing straight towards you, you should not directly use the shield to block the matter, but should tilt the shield slightly outward, the specific direction depends on your grasp, anyway, just tilt the shield outward, let the spinning spider's sting attack slide outward, and miss its attack."
"Follow the attack to adduct inward, sideways attack outward, face the attack, take the initiative to stand forward and backward to unload the force, constantly choose the shield to rely on the power of the whirlwind to attack crookedly, etc., etc., etc., there are actually a lot of skills in blocking and parrying! Rigid hard resistance like yours is absolutely undesirable! ”
Roger raised his fingers as he spoke, pointing at the country with a style of pointing at the country, and his momentum continued to rise.
If he wasn't lying on the grass, he would have been imposing.
"Oh, I see." Kleina nodded her head in understanding, as if she understood everything.
"Well, that's it, you can ...... Huh? Roger responded happily, suddenly feeling that something was wrong.
Well, that doesn't sound right!
Roger opened his eyes and saw Alice and the others staring at Kleina in unison, and Kleina smirked as if she didn't know anything.
Girls are really born actors.
"It's not a secret, and it's nothing for you to hear." Roger was a little speechless, "But don't delve too deep into the skills that don't suit your own path." ”
Taking out the jasper bamboo from the space bar, Roger gently gave the childlike Kleina a bag.
"Klena, you're a ranger, and the best fit is to use a short bow to quickly release arrows. Your reaction is good, but the foundation is not enough, I hope you can identify the enemy at the moment of encountering the enemy, and you can open your bow and release the arrow in one go, and your reaction is enough, so I want you to strengthen the basic training, when you hit the moving target and instantly release the arrow, it is almost the same. ”
"Nancy, who is also very responsive, you are good at dual weapons, you can parry enemy attacks with one hand, and kill with one direct blow with the other. Of course, if the opponent's strength is not weak, you can also rely on the continuous attack of dual weapons to make the opponent show flaws, and it is also a good means to directly create flaws with kicks if necessary, but be careful of the enemy's countermeasures. In addition, don't stop practicing throwing knives, and it's definitely better to have a long-range attack when necessary. ”
Seeing that Nancy and Sister Kleina nodded quietly, Roger turned his head to look at Alice, and his eyes suddenly became vicious.
"You're not in good health, why are you running around?"
Alice nodded her fingers in embarrassment, turned her head unnaturally and said, "Well, Granny hasn't returned to the tent after playing like this, I'm a little worried." ”
Roger covered his head speechlessly, did it turn out to be my pot for a long time?
"I don't have much to teach you about swordsmanship, but there are some tips I can remind you of."
Seeing Alice look at her with a look of surprise, Roger continued helplessly.
"You definitely can't compare to many men in terms of strength, in that case, don't compare strength, you directly rely on momentum to overwhelm the enemy, understand? Rely on momentum! Think of the enemy as a small animal like a domestic turkey, despise it, give yourself confidence in victory, and stare at the enemy with the belief that you will win! I believe that I can easily slash it under the sword! ”
Looking at Alice, who was bursting with vindictiveness, nodded with satisfaction, and Roger looked at Grannie.
"For you, when the shield can't protect what you want to protect and becomes a burden, throw it away and block the enemy with footwork and sword skills. There are always enemies that can't be stopped with a shield! ”
Granny nodded silently and clenched the sword in her hand hard.
Roger finally looked helplessly at Vivien; "You don't need me to teach you, do you?"
Vivien stared at Roger with glowing eyes, and the eagerness in those eyes made Roger a little hairy.
"Of course." Vivien replied, looking at Roger, who turned around and fled with the fireball that was still sleeping steadily, and felt more and more interesting in her heart.
Proficient in swordsmanship, fighting, shield blocking, archery, magic and other skills, is the druid really that powerful, or is it just you who are powerful?
Vivien looked at Roger's figure, and the research enthusiasm that belonged to the magician was boiling in her heart.
It's a pity, the difference in strength is too far, otherwise I really want to catch you back to study!
Hehehehe......
