Looking at the human who gradually came out of the woods, even though Hiko was quite prepared, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a very different guy from the usual type of spellcaster. He was muscular, and in terms of appearance and outfit, he was almost indistinguishable from the soldiers who had been killed by Hiko. But if you look closely, you will see that his equipment is much better than that of ordinary soldiers.

A half-length cuirass made of all-metal, leather boots inlaid with steel guards, and gloves woven entirely from a special fabric. None of these are more valuable than a normal scout's belongings. And the wind and snow that lingered on his body also clearly showed Hiko that he was fundamentally different from those ordinary scouts.

These details made Hiko can't help but squint his eyes, and then whispered to the spellcaster opposite.

"I heard that there is a special unit in the Kingdom of Velon, called the Double-Headed Eagle Battle Mage Unit. It is an ace class under the Grand Duke of Brittdam, and is second only to the Knights of the Divided Banner in the entire kingdom. Looks like you're one of these battle mages. ”

For Hikono to recognize his identity so quickly, the caster immediately put a look of surprise on his face. But soon, he retracted his expression. Then he confessed to Hikoko with a serious look.

"That's right, I'm a non-commissioned officer of the Double-Headed Eagle Battlemage unit. Ordered to ambush you. ”

The caster's honesty made Hiko can't help but raise his eyebrows, and at the same time, he secretly inevitably took a breath of cold air. Battlemage, this is not an easy character to deal with.

Spellcasters are known to be a very cheating group. While those warriors were still desperately polishing their bodies and exercising their skills, they had already touched the threshold of supernatural power and became one of the owners of supernatural power. This is obviously ahead of the others, but this advantage of being one step ahead of others is difficult to translate into an advantage that can be seen in actual combat.

It is different from those warriors who have gone through countless trainings and can only cultivate qi when their bodies and wills have reached their peak. Most spellcasters are exposed to this supernatural power too early, and their combat power is not comparable to that of warriors of the same level with supernatural powers.

This is mainly due to the fact that spellcasters are too academic in the study of supernatural powers, and most spellcasters spend their days immersed in books and magical experiments, and it is difficult to gain any practical experience. And the warrior is different, a warrior who has qi is also experienced in a hundred battles, step by step from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. And to have a realistic confrontation between scholars and soldiers killed in the sea of corpses and blood, this is obviously embarrassing these nerds.

Of course, this is not to say that fighters can always have an advantage in such confrontations. After all, there are also combat geniuses among the spellcasters, and a little training can be done quite well. However, this is only a minority after all. In most cases, it will be difficult for the caster to fight against the warriors who have gained energy.

The situation is a bit awkward. Especially for those forces that want to use the power of the caster to achieve certain ends. After all, no matter what, the caster is the first to come into contact with the existence of supernatural powers, but the result is only a little bit of a role in actual combat, which will naturally make people have some scruples about the cultivation of this group. And it was with this scruple that the Battle Mage, a special class among spellcasters, came into being.

Battlemage, in essence, is still a caster. They also practiced spell courses based on the four major categories. A battle mage, possibly an arcane spell system that relies on spells to perform ranged suppression. It could be the kind of combat sculptor system that inscribes arcane circuits on the body, or it may be the transmogrification psychic system that relies on summoning spirit monsters and casting mental strikes, or the natural alchemy system that fights by transforming into beasts and debugging bottles and jars by itself. Even miscellaneous guys who know a little bit of everything are possible.

It is impossible for them to break free from the shackles of the caster, so they are always in the category of casters, not another group beyond the casters. However, compared to most spellcasters, it has a very different nature. That's in their purpose.

The real caster does the work of research. They are habitually immersed in research, and fighting is only a side hustle for them as a last resort. Their real purpose is to gain insight into the mysteries of the world and to open up new understandings of the world with the spells they have mastered. This is similar to that of scientists in the world before Hiko.

This is not the case with battlemages, who hardly do this kind of research. All of their spell reserves come from the research of orthodox spellcasters. That is to say, what the orthodox caster has studied, they are likely to learn. Orthodox spellcasters will never learn anything new without a breakthrough in the study of a new spell.

This trait causes most of the true casters to look down on these so-called battle mages, treating them as vampires. However, in terms of combat ability, these battle mages are completely above most orthodox spellcasters.

They don't study the mysteries of spells, but they do study how they can be used better in battle. They are the takers of spellcasters, and the purpose of their learning spells is to fight. This purpose is very pure, and this makes them extraordinary in battle.

Take, for example, the caster of arcane spells. A caster with the same knowledge reserve is simply no match for a battle mage, and even a caster with a knowledge reserve one level higher will have a hard time defeating a battle mage one level lower than him. This is the gap in application, and it is also the fundamental reason why human beings do not hesitate to spend countless resources to create the system of battle mages.

They don't need to put scholar-type spellcasters on the battlefield. But they can take the experience of academics and apply it to their own soldiers. Train soldiers to be spellcasters and have them fight instead of these scholars. It's a smart thing to do, and that's exactly what it's done. There will be one more ace class in the human army. And Hiko has to face such a big trouble now.

This is the first time you've fought a spellcaster. And as soon as he got started, he was a difficult opponent like a battle mage, and it was absolutely impossible to say that he was not nervous at all. But only a little. The right amount of tension can make one more cautious, which is advantageous in battle. Of course, it would be better if you could find out the details of the other party.

Judging from the performance of the icicle projection just now, this battle mage's combat style should be one of the arcane spell system or the battle mold energy system. If it's the former, then things are undoubtedly much simpler. Because the Nords like to bully these little weak chickens who don't know anything once they get close.

But since he dared to appear on the territory of the Nords, and also planned such an ambush. Hiko's hard time believing that this could be a melee weaker who specializes in spells. There's a good chance he's a battle sculptor who has physically forged arcane rune circuits. It may even be a special combatant who has both.

Either of these possibilities is very cumbersome. In particular, the existence of combat plastic energy adds a bit of threat to Yan.

The Combat Shape is a special category developed by the caster while studying the mysteries of spells. And the origin of this genre is from the dragon family.

Of course, the origin of the whole magic comes from the dragons, which are the power that the dragons bring to this world from the depths of the starry sky. However, compared to other spell-casting categories, the Combat Shaping Energy System has a deeper relationship with the Dragons in terms of origin and history. However, this kind of relationship is definitely not a good word.

The origin of the Combat Shaping system comes from a group of legendary spellcasters who are about to drain their lives. Every legendary spellcaster is the most profound researcher of magic. They have been studying the mysteries of magic for decades, studying the truth of the world in their own eyes. But, as scientists from another world say. The truth is what the more you know, the more shallow you feel.

When they find that they have only understood the contingency of the Sea of Truth after all their life's efforts, they will not be willing to fall into the sleep of the Eternal Dead. And how to stand on this world for a longer time and continue their search for the truth has become a problem that they must solve.

As legendary-level spellcasters, these people's minds are naturally unimaginably crazy. Because they directly hit their own ideas on dragons, which have the longest lifespan. And to get the reason for their long life from the dragons. And they used all means, at the great risk of offending the dragons, dissecting one dragon after another, and finally obtained a forbidden knowledge from them. And this knowledge is the arcane rune circuit.

Dragons, as congenital magical creatures, flow through their veins with the purest form of arcane magic. This power flows through the dragon's body in a specific trajectory, giving the dragon incredible power and the strongest physique.

Legendary spellcasters believe this is the reason for the dragon's longevity and innate strength. And they also began to imitate this magical power through their own knowledge. They molded the aether into substantial arcane energy, mimicking the arcane rune circuits found on different dragon species, and loaded it into mortals.

It's been a long cut, with countless failures and gore. But in the end, they succeeded, and they developed a new magical power, a new way of harnessing arcane power. And this is the earliest and most powerful special case of the Combat Plastic Energy Department.
