Chapter 374: The Point of Neglect
After a period of intense fighting, the Golden Mages and Golden Warriors on both sides slowly dwindled their shots.
Soon, the golden mages on both sides had a tacit understanding to stop, retreat to the back to meditate, and restore their magic power.
The golden mages behind the Chinese Greek army occasionally smiled at the "ulak" from Sparta.
"That little guy is interesting."
"I don't know if it's carefully cultivated by Sparta, or if it's the genius of other city-states."
"It's a pity that the bronze mage in his twenties has limited achievements, and it is difficult to compare with the four masters of Plato, and it will not be long before he will be surpassed by a new generation of geniuses."
"Euclid, I heard that you came back from Sparta, how is this ulak?"
"It's okay, he'll be promoted to silver soon." Euclid Road.
"Let's not talk about him first, the people who have been used twice are about to be dispatched, and we also need to prepare to avoid the other party's counterattack."
"Let's start preparing, if the magician on the other side reacts quickly, there is still a chance to escape. It's a pity, I've seen half of the magicians on the other side, I've seen them all in Milley......"
"Euclid, the next big battle is up to you."
"No problem."
The battle continues.
After Su Ye finished casting the spell, observe the magicians on both sides.
Golden mages rarely do it themselves.
The Chinese armies on both sides did not have black iron mages, and the black iron mages were arranged on the flanks.
Hundreds of Black Iron Mages on both sides took turns to fight, and their offensive methods were surprisingly consistent, constantly casting fireball spells in front of them.
The fireball technique is a nightmare for ordinary light infantry, once hit, it will completely lose its combat effectiveness, but when it falls on those soldiers wearing armor, it can only cause minor injuries.
Because the effect of the fireball technique was too small, so much so that Su Ye suspected that the two sides were trying to sharpen their magicians, but soon found that the main role of these black iron magicians was not to kill people with the fireball technique, but to hit the morale of the other party.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Black Iron Mage is much more terrifying than the Black Iron Warrior.
Everyone can understand the attack of the Black Iron Warrior, but they can't understand the magic, and looking at the fireballs flying one by one, the warriors will be more or less affected in their hearts.
Su Ye looked at the bronze magician again.
The number of magicians of this rank is much smaller, there are more than a hundred on each side, and unlike the black iron magicians, they are very proficient in magic.
When it's time to use offensive magic, they'll use fireballs, acid balls, frost throws, or rock spikes, and most of the time, they'll use restrictive spells like quicksand, swamps, stone walls, traps, and so on to create opportunities for friendly fighters.
Without a strong talent, the magic lethality of this rank is limited.
Therefore, the bronze mage is not the main force of the battlefield.
At the moment, the Silver Mage is the main caster on both sides.
One by one, the Flame Demon Snakes stood upright like their companions, standing beside the front-line soldiers.
Those flame demon snakes were all the thickness of their wrists, nearly two meters tall, and their huge snake mouths spewed out a fireball every ten seconds, and their power was even greater than that of ordinary black iron mages.
Occasionally, a dense rain of ice and arrows descended from the sky, dealing a fatal blow to the warriors at close distances.
A head-sized burst fireball flew out, these bursting fireballs were a little slower than the fireball technique, but once they exploded, the firelight and shock wave swept through all enemies within a radius of three meters, and the warriors under the black iron would surely die once they were in it. Even if the Black Iron Warrior has the Black Iron Divine Power Protector, he will be hit hard.
Beside each silver mage, there is a metal sword with a length of no more than twenty centimeters, which is a floating blade, which can actively attack all enemies within five meters of the body, and the power is equivalent to a black iron warrior's constant attack.
Once the battle line is in danger, the Silver Mages will use the Nordic fire-based silver magic "Mad Blood" to give several warriors strength and speed beyond themselves, but if they hold on for a maximum of ten minutes, these warriors will have to retreat and fall into a prolonged period of weakness.
Temporary weakness is better than being killed.
With a cast range of up to sixty meters, Silver Mages have a very safe cast range, and countless enemy warriors have died at their hands.
Su Ye somewhat understood why the city-states or countries did not vigorously develop magicians, and the input cost was extremely high, but at least they had to reach the silver rank to play a real role on the battlefield.
Most of the time, apprentice mages and black iron mages tend to be burdensome.
Su Ye looked at the golden mages on both sides, and the doubts in his heart were like wisps of white mist rising after the hot water soaked the tea leaves.
Just before, the golden magicians showed great strength, and within a hundred meters, all kinds of large-scale magic swept through each other, and once the warriors under the silver were hit by the golden magic, they would definitely die.
The fighters on both sides suffered heavy losses.
However, both sides use standard magic, and they are only the most streamlined basic gold magic of each type of magic, and they do not use the creation magic that they are best at.
"It seems that when the final battle comes, we will see all kinds of different creation magic."
Su Ye thought for a moment and said to the nearby Spartan warriors: "You observe carefully, once the golden mages on both sides attack with all their might, we will immediately retreat!" ”
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid, once they use the creation magic, I can run as far as I can." Castor tract.
"Well, everyone be careful. Many of the created magic spells are very weird, controlling the spirit, invisible and invisible, and can even break through the limit of 100 meters. Commodus said.
Su Ye's mind kept coming back to the process of meeting with General Fast yesterday, and he suddenly discovered a particularly important thing.
Neither Fast nor Euclid even talked about the most important thing.
How do you do a Golden Mage and a Golden Warrior?
Yesterday the military formation was discussed, and strategy and tactics were discussed, but both of them seemed to ignore the role of the Golden Mage and the Golden Warrior.
Even when Su Ye said that he was dragging the enemy's golden mage, the two of them didn't say anything deeply.
"The number of magicians in Greece is not the first in Shikoku, but the highest level has always been the first in Shikoku, and I don't believe these guys are unprepared for this battle. Just because you can't use Legendary Magic during battle doesn't mean you can't ask Legendary Masters to use a Grand Portal or Teleportation Circle before fighting. As a legendary warrior and a strategic general, if Mitead had foreseen this marathon battle half a year earlier, he would have asked the legendary master to help him in advance......"
Su Ye realized that he had discovered part of the truth.
"Let's go back thirty meters." Su Ye put away the magic tent as he walked.
"What? At this distance, you can only use the power of magic evolution, and once or twice you can shirk being a magician, but if it is too much, it will inevitably be suspected of you. After all, there are not a few people in the Legends and Sanctuary who have magic evolution, but there are too few people in the bronze rank who have magic evolution. Castor said.
Commodus glanced at Su Ye and said confidently: "He is afraid of death." ”
Su Ye glanced at the old gladiator king and said, "This is an order." ”
In a fierce battle, a small group of inconspicuous fighters moved farther and farther away from the front line, and then stopped.
"What are we going to do next?" Castor tract.
"Wait and see." Su Ye turned his head to look at the golden magicians who were muttering around Euclid, and then looked at the magicians in Persia.
Su Ye suddenly asked, "Kastor, as a demigod family, you have always paid attention to important wars, right?" ”
"Of course."
"Last year, the Persian army first occupied the northern island of Euboea, do you know the whole battle?" Su Ye asked.
"I don't dare to say that I know everything, but I have already seen the detailed battle three times, and it is a battle report from the Persian side." Castor smiled.
"So, what was the role of the Persian golden mage in those great battles on Euboea, and what powerful magic creations were used?" Su Ye asked.
Kastor was stunned for a moment, frowned, and thought for a while before he said, "I want to think about how to answer...... No, without the use of powerful magic creations, the golden mages did not make too many moves, and were basically warriors. ”
Su Ye said: "Is that something to say?" Persia is a huge empire, even though magic has developed rapidly in the past hundred years, because the vast majority of the Persian royal family are warriors, so in Persia, it is still warriors who lead magicians, and magicians are only regarded as warriors who attack on a large scale. In the Persian Empire, there was no magician army formed with magicians as the core, and there was no corresponding magician tactics developed. In other words, there were magicians who were developing, but were not accepted by the Persian Empire. Because the Persian Empire thinks that it has more powerful or more powerful forces at this stage, such as the Giant Legion, such as the Warcraft Legion, such as the Flying Serpent Legion, such as the Destiny Warlock, etc., right? ”
"You seem to be saying this better than mine. Yes, you are talking about the current state of affairs in Persia. Kastor was a little ashamed.
"That would be a shame. I also overlooked an important issue before. Su Ye said.
"What's the important question?" Kastor and the other Spartan warriors looked at Su Ye curiously.
In fact, the last time Greece fought a large-scale war with the other three countries was twenty years ago. Although there have been constant frictions between various countries in the past 20 years, and small-scale and low-intensity battles have never been interrupted, almost every year, this kind of war in which a country directly dispatches more than 500,000 troops is the first time in 20 years. But the war situation on the island of Euboea shows that in the past twenty years, the tactics and methods of warfare of the Persian Empire have not changed, right? Su Ye asked.
Castor pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Yes, I revisited the war situation in the Euborean Peninsula, and also recalled the foreign wars of the Persian Empire over the years, there has been no great change, only a small improvement in equipment, but the number of magicians has increased slightly."
"What about Greece, then?" Su Ye asked.
Everyone was stunned.
Most of the thirty Spartan warriors had a look of shame on their faces.
Some are ashamed of neglecting magicians, and some are ashamed of the increasing role of magicians on the battlefield.
"Greece is different!" Kastor said suddenly.
