"It's a joke, the living dragon is not afraid. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info are you still afraid of death?, trying to stop us with a bone dragon...... "Shark, a seasoned wanderer, was able to disarm the mechanism while gushing to Martin about how great and bright their team was.

Although he admires the shark's skills, Martin still thinks that it is better to concentrate when doing this kind of thing. So he was vague about the shark's speech, and "well, well" kept perfunctory.

At the same time, Priest Thomas, Dwarven Mage Barend, and others are not idle. They were busy dealing with the runes set by the black-robed bulls. In order to activate these runes, one must have supernormal intelligence or perception. This can only be understood by them through hard thinking and sensing, and then activating those runes.

The improved Secret Magic Eye, plus the information obtained before, the messy information from the temporary interrogation, and the exploration of the team members. As for some general information about this mage tower, they can be considered to have figured it out. For now, they avoid some rooms that are too sinister (such as the one where the demons are bound). They went straight to the secret passage, ready to assault through it. This secret passage is so elaborate that it will never work if you want to force it open with magic such as fossil mud or dissociation rays. In order to use it, adventurers had to wait for the runes and traps to be drained. As the difficulty increased, the shark also stopped speaking, and concentrated on removing those cumbersome mechanisms. His fingers flipped like flying, even for a halfling thief known for his dexterity. And the tools used are even more ingenious. Not to mention that it is made of pure gold, it also has a powerful magic attached to it. And the two who broke the runes were not easy. Either they are staring at the runes, chanting words in their mouths and gesturing in their hands. Either close your eyes and put your palm on the rune to perceive it carefully.

Thankfully, this mage tower is not a mage tower in the ordinary sense of the word. It's more like a hastily built, hybrid of a mage tower and a castle. In fact, it doesn't have many of the features that a mage tower must have. If it was a croaking mage tower, then the adventurers would have been almost played by the black-robed Bull right now. The relationship between a true mage tower and a mage is as close as the relationship between a mage and his pet. Fortunately, at the moment, this mage tower itself has many flaws, plus the black-robed Bull and Triste are fighting fiercely in the air. Therefore, those black-robed Bull's subordinates may not be able to take much advantage of this tower. In fact, the adventurers were lucky, and the son of the black-robed Bull happened to leave the mage tower. Otherwise, the Sons of Boole, who have certain administrative privileges, will be able to make the tower more combative.

Martin only glanced at the Intelligence Rune before quickly looking away. He had a headache when he saw it. Interlaced like a mountain, he didn't know what doorways were in it, but he was sure that the intelligence rune was a hundred times more complex than the ones he had learned before. It's not even something he can understand. In fact, those sins, cos, cot or something made him head and two bigger. Martin was able to memorize the habits of thousands of plants and animals, but he gave up on geometry problems after barely completing the basics.

As for those perception runes, they weren't something Martin could solve. If it were simpler, Martin would have understood the mystery. But the runes here are too advanced, and there are more capable players again. Martin wasn't ready to make a fool of himself. For now, all he had to do was stand here and guard those crackers.

Suddenly out of the hectic battle, Martin's mind began to smuggle. The shark's unintentional words actually made him sigh. Martin remembered some of the horror stories he had heard as a child. There are often dead people crawling out of the ground. In the story, they are either draped in rotten, foul-smelling rotten flesh and staggering forward. Either a body of craggy white bones, staring at the living (sometimes phosphorescent inside) with the hollow eye sockets on their skulls. These dead people who had risen from the ground up had scared Martin into nightmares. Countless times he dreamed of the filthy, sharp nails and bloodstained teeth of those horrible undead.

But then the situation was completely different. After becoming a Starch Spencer Druid, Martin learns that the undead are nothing more than negative energy. Don't be afraid, don't be superstitious when confronted with them, they are just another problem that requires special measures to deal with. Back then, during the reign of Norma, the last king set a good example for people in dealing with the undead. One of his old enemies was forced to commit suicide, only to be transformed into a Death Knight. After that, countless dead people were summoned to kill him all the way. When the king heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said the famous words: "In that case, let him die again." Then, his legion did it with ease. Of course, the last king didn't laugh at the end. Carried away, he committed a new sin, which was later overthrown by his subjects.

Just as Martin was distracted, both crackers smiled as the runes erupted with a blinding glare of light. They have done their job successfully. After a series of clattering mechanical sounds, the shark successfully completed the cracking. With a low roar, the secret passage was revealed.

"Let's go!" the team members went into the hole one by one. The order is very reasonable, and there is a time gap between them to avoid being blocked by the enemy.

After a brief crawl, Martin saw a bright light ahead and heard the shouts of his teammates who had rushed out earlier. And when he stepped up and rushed out, the battle was over. There were a few goblin corpses scattered on the ground.

"Was it a lizardman before, and now a goblin?" said the shark, motioning for Martin to pay attention to the goblin's weapon.

It is an ultra-long spear, a relatively rare weapon in this world.

The Spear is a weapon that is designed to allow the user to attack enemies without fear of being counterattacked. Of course, its length is also a disadvantage. Enemies with a little combat ability can flash the tip of its spear and approach the wielder of the spear. At that point, the user of the superlong spear would be in a terrible situation.

Therefore, for the extra-long spear, it is best for its users to form a close phalanx, and the soldiers can support each other. In this case, the enemy will have to face a wall of thorns made up of dense super-long spears, and each enemy will have to face multiple spearheads. The sight of the Phalanx attacking with a phalanx of super-long spears has been described as a "storm of guns". In battle, the first five rows of soldiers in the dense phalanx lay out their spears like this, and then the five rows of spears formed a wall of spears. The soldiers used that wall of guns to launch a wave of attacks, and even if a nimble soldier could fight to avoid the first row of spearheads, he had no hope of survival. Because the soldiers who put the spears flat were standing in five rows, the spearheads were also five rows. There were very few soldiers who could cross five rows of spearheads to reach the phalanx soldiers, and they were not a threat at all.

What a powerful and terrifying formation, but unfortunately appeared in this magical world. The densely packed soldiers are simply the best target for spellcasters. A low-level mage carrying a fireball wand is enough to deal a devastating blow to the opposing formation. Not to mention any walls of fire, chain of lightning, and delayed burst fireballs. In the face of the Plastic Mage, the Phalanx soldiers will die in pieces like ants.

But where there is a spear, there must be a shield. The king who formed the phalanx of spears also invented a secret method to increase the overall magic resistance of a phalanx unit. As long as their formation is not chaotic, then when they are attacked by magic, the phalanx as a whole can burst out with amazing magic resistance, and very few magic can really break through the magic resistance and damage the phalanx. And measures such as equipping the phalanx with caster protection and increasing ranged strength finally made the phalanx rampant for a while.

But with the loss of that secret method, the spear phalanx was naturally swept out of the war stage by magic. Only the inhabitants of the Central Hills still hold the fragments of that secret artifact. Their phalanx is still resistant to magic, but only requires that the members of the phalanx be fellow villagers.

Therefore, the weapon of the super long gun is relatively rare.

And now that he came across this weapon, the shark only thought for a moment and said to Martin. "I'm probably going to get ready to fight the phalanx of spears. I'll go ahead and scout, and you inform Canian to get ready to deal with them. Before he finished speaking, he had already gone to reconnoitre.

Canion, who had crawled out of the tunnel, heard Martin's return and immediately ordered the crossbow to be removed from the space bag. As the order was executed, all kinds of crossbows of all kinds were taken out. Among those crossbows were extremely large, and even though they pressed the winch, they still needed two big men to open their strings, and the crossbow arms made of thick high-quality crossbow steel could burst out with incredible power, but unfortunately there was only one. In addition, there are ordinary crossbows that are relatively lightweight, and can be pulled with bare hands for some strong adventurers (but if you are an ordinary person, you still have to stand on the crossbow on the ground, step on the ring in front of the crossbow machine, and use all your strength to stretch the strings). Others fall somewhere in between, and even the most powerful adventurers need a heavy crossbow with goat iron to stretch their strings.

But the most peculiar of these crossbows was a strange crossbow with two strings and two arms. Canion's introduction to Martin was a crossbow imported from the East, which the Orientals named the Enemy Crossbow. The reason why it is designed this way is to shoot twice in a row. This special crossbow can also use two strings and two bowarms to fire an arrow, which will greatly increase the power.

After listening to Canion's introduction, Martin asked, "I've heard that there is a single repeater in the East. Being able to shoot ten arrows in a row in a very short period of time, why is there no such thing as equipping it? That kind of repeater must be very suitable for the current battle. “

Canian smiled when he heard this, and then told Martin that there were indeed crossbows in the East. But that's just what the rich use to protect against thieves. The rate of fire of the repeater is truly impressive, but the power is extremely poor. According to those Orientals, not to mention iron armor, even leather armor can't be dealt with. In fact, at a slightly greater distance, even a thicker cotton garment could not penetrate it. In addition to its weak power, it is also too heavy and complex because the arrows fired cannot be equipped with tail fins, and they are too heavy and complex. Basically, they don't have the ability to go to war.

"You remember, no matter what kind of individual crossbow, their power and rate of fire are inversely proportional. The high rate of fire of repeaters comes at the cost of insufficient power, and these extremely powerful heavy crossbows require a winch to stretch the strings, sacrificing the rate of fire for power. Canian finally introduced Martin.

Martin didn't know much about crossbows because he wasn't a professional samurai. After listening to Canion's introduction, it can be regarded as an increase in knowledge. As they spoke, they had completed all the string problems of the crossbows, and they were all mounted with arrows. It's time to get these guys into battle.

Now, they're just waiting for the shark to come back and report on the situation.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― first of all, it was a question of the phalanx of spearsIt has been used on a large scale twice in history. One was the ancient Greek period, the famous Macedonian phalanx, I think everyone knows. The other thing is that the Swiss phalanx came out later. It wasn't just the Swiss who could use the spear phalanx, but the German mercenaries as well. There is a print of the Swiss phalanx fighting German mercenaries, and it looks like two hedgehogs fighting.

However, it must be mentioned that the spear phalanx of the Qin army mentioned in "The Resurrected Legion" has no basis at all, and they have not even found a spear that long! In fact, it is now generally believed that it was actually a trace of a flagpole, which made the powerful director think that it was a spear, and then fabricated the spear phalanx of the Qin army. However, it cannot be arbitrarily said that there must be none. Maybe one day archaeological excavations will prove that there is. But judging by the current information, there was no pike phalanx in the Qin army.

The other is the Zhuge Repeater. It's hard to say what the real Zhuge repeater looks like. But if it is the kind of individual crossbow that is generally regarded as the Zhuge Repeater, it is indeed not capable of going to the battlefield. "The weapons of the national dynasty made the god arm crossbow and the enemy's crossbow, all of which fired two arrows and three arrows. There is also a Zhuge crossbow, which is carved with a straight groove, and the ten arrows of the letter are inherited, and its wings are taken from the softest wood. In addition, the machine wood pulls the string with his hand, sends an arrow, and another arrow falls in the groove, and then pulls the wood on the string and sends it. Although ingenious work, but its strength is very strong, and it is only more than 20 steps. This is a private house stealing tool, not a military weapon. This is the original text on "Heavenly Creation", which is a good explanation of what kind of weapon Zhuge crossbow is.

Since I started writing this novel, some of my knowledge of ancient military affairs has improved by leaps and bounds. Of course, at heart, he is still a rookie. I didn't put much of an experience into that. However, there is a basic understanding of many issues. This is one of the great rewards of writing this novel.
