Chapter 44: The Arrow
Every time you clean up the battlefield, it's the happiest time - and that means the adventure pays off.
After opening the chest of the fourth reaper and taking out the energy crystals to look at, Shen Yi finally let out a long breath.
One of the four was the fourth crystallization he needed.
Being able to collect four crystals of different models among the nine reapers, it should be said that his luck is already good.
The next moment, a hint came from the Blood Emblem: "You have obtained four different models of C-rank Reaper crystals, please determine whether they are fused or not." ”
"Sure. ”
In the next moment, the four energy crystals merged into one.
Heraldic Tip: After paying 9000 Blood Points, you will receive a Reaper.
"I know this. Shen Yi chuckled.
Not far away, Zhou Yiyu walked towards him and sat down beside him: "The collection is complete, right? I hope there will be reapers in the third wave, don't you still have a few crystals of other models in your hands? If you can have more, maybe you can have a few more." ”
"Why did you suddenly become so kind and care about me?" Shen Yi was a little surprised.
"Your team is all gathered, shouldn't you ......?"
Shen Yi understood.
Zhou Yiyu was referring to his joining the 641 team.
Shen Yi smiled and patted Zhou Yiyu: "Don't worry, it's not necessarily a good idea to let them make a decision now." Why not spend some time with you, wait until they see how you're doing, are convinced of who you are, and even have a certain level of friendship before making a decision? ”
Zhou Yiyu thought about it and nodded and left.
After the battle, the soldiers of the airborne battalion were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and the adventurers introduced each other to each other. In addition to the monk, the stout adventurer claimed to be called Jing Twelve, and the other claimed to be Lu De, but Shen Yi had already used his spirit to probe and found that these two people were all lying. However, Shen Yi has no interest in exposing this kind of lie, everyone has the right to protect their secrets, including names.
There are a variety of magical items in the Bloody City, and some items may be able to affect the target just by knowing the target's name, so it is necessary to be careful. Of course, these items are extremely rare and often do not have a lethal effect.
Shocked by Shen Yi's ability to cleanly eliminate the Reapers, the two new adventurers became much more honest and no longer easily challenged Shen Yi's prestige. The monk also came over and paid 400 bloody points for the harvest.
After handing over the bloody spots, the monk thought for a while and suddenly said, "I originally thought that an adventurer who was not a melee specialty would be the captain, and such a team would not go far anyway. Now it seems that I was wrong, and I apologize to you. ”
Shen Yi was stunned: "Why do you think so?"
The monk was also a flurry: "Why don't you know that in the bloody city, the captains of most teams are adventurers with melee specialties?"
Shen Yi shook his head.
After all, the time he has lived in the Bloody City is still a little shorter, although his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has even learned a lot of content about the Bloody City that others don't understand, but there are some ordinary things that he knows only a little about.
At this moment, the monk saw the confusion on Shen Yi's face, and realized that the other party didn't know this, so he laughed: "No wonder your teammates will choose you as the captain, it turns out that none of you know this." It's no wonder that it's the first level of difficulty after all, and it's rare for anyone to have a full-fledged team at the first level. ”
"Now that you know, tell me about it. ”
The monk smiled: "The answer is actually very simple, that is, a tactical need. Generally speaking, Bloody City has a common perception of the team: the team is like an arrow, and the captain is the arrow. Where the arrow is pointing, the arrow will shoot there, whether the arrow is good or not, first see if the arrow is sharp. You can't turn yourself into a captain of an arrow, no matter how strong this arrow is, it's useless......"
The adventurer with melee expertise as the captain is actually a set of experiences that adventurers have gradually summed up in battles again and again.
For the vast majority of teams, the intelligent captain and the long-range captain are actually not as meaningful as a melee specialty captain.
This is not because thinking is useless, but because it cannot replace the mighty force as something that can produce immediate results.
A think-tank character should play a unique role in a big battle and a big scene. In local battles with only a few people, the effect is extremely limited. This is like the existence of a commander, which can only be truly embodied in the scale of the regiment, and the soldiers below the regimental level need more leaders who can stimulate their morale and encourage them to fight, rather than leaders who sit back and talk in the face of battle.
The so-called layout of thousands of miles, in this kind of low-number, high-intensity battle, is simply a kind of self-deception and rhetoric, does not have any substantive significance, and the battle of wisdom is even more ridiculous to the extreme, like Shen Yi's repeated behavior of testing the city's moves, it is already the result of using his mind to the limit, but it is impossible to do anything fundamentally changed.
Therefore, for adventurers, in the Bloody City, tactical ability will always be more meaningful than strategic ability.
The latter is too broad to apply to the way of fighting as a passerby in the worlds - politically you can't play farming, pull allies, engage in diplomacy, and spread ideas in a mission world. Strategically, with your limited manpower, it is even more impossible to play siege and plunder the city, encircle the city on all sides, attack the east and the west, and surround the city from the countryside......
In fact, the tactical arrangement does not require much wisdom from the team leader, but only requires the opponent to have enough combat experience and good psychological quality.
For this reason, many team leaders in Bloody City are best suited to be melee fighters - they charge forward in battle, they are not only the main combat force, but also the tactical core of the whole team, and their task is to connect all team members in tandem to fight an integrated offensive and defensive battle.
For example, the captain gives a direct order: Whoever I attack, you will follow whoever you fight, then all the team members will follow the captain's action steps to act, this is the most common way of fighting, the pursuit of instant maximum lethality, the fastest speed to weaken the opponent, this is also the simplest and most effective way to fight.
Not everything is as complex as possible, and in combat, the word "simple" means easy to execute, means less prone to error, and means efficient in action.
In this case, when two teams fight hard, the first thing to fight is which captain's captain is more resistant and has more powerful attacking power. Whichever side can defeat the opponent's main general first, the winning rate of which side will be greatly increased.
For example, Xie Rongjun of the Blood Assassination Team is such a typical melee assault captain, and all his team members take him as the core when fighting and carry out unified attack output.
From the perspective of leadership, adventurers with strong personal strength are also more likely to make others obey them, and it is easier for them to establish their prestige, ensure the effective execution of orders, and make the team unified.
Therefore, when the monk saw Shen Yi for the first time, he found that the other party was not an adventurer with melee specialty, and immediately felt that this team would not have any future.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yi's later performance really surprised the monk.
You must know that the so-called leadership ability, in essence, is the ability to control the emotions of others. If you can make your teammates hate what you hate, expect what you expect, and like what you like, then you have completed the most important step of leading others.
Although Shen Yi is not a melee adventurer, the strong self-confidence he shows in the face of death and his ability to control the thoughts of his team members are incomparable.
The latter is obviously more significant than a simple and practical tactic.
"While most teams in the city are captained by melee fighters, just as the most popular ones aren't always the best, that's not a sign of a team's strength, so you don't have to worry about it at all. ”
At this moment, the monk frankly admitted his mistake to Shen Yi.
"So that's ......" Shen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.
It may be a good feeling to be a strong man in close combat, to give full play to the meaning of strength, to rush back and forth in the crowd like a tiger, to let the blood rise, to slaughter wantonly, and to be happy with revenge.
But if there is a choice, Shen Yi actually prefers the way it is now.
After thinking about it, he traded the past 400 blood points to the monk: "This is your message fee." ”
"There's no need for so much. ”
"Even if it's to make friends, I'm sorry for my rudeness. Shen Yi said with a smile.
The monk smiled and left.
Seeing that the monk turned to leave, Shen Yi said to himself lightly: "I may not be able to make arrows, but I can always be the hand holding the arrow." ”
As he spoke, he casually took out something from his arms, and when he looked at it, his face suddenly froze and became extremely ugly.
"Hey, what's going on?" came a sweet voice from behind.
Without looking back, knowing that it was Gentleness behind him, Shen Yi hurriedly stuffed the thing into the coat of arms and said, "I'm just thinking about whether I can sleep with you in my arms tonight." ”
Shen Yi was gently punched in the back, causing a slight injury, and the force was really not light.
The next moment, the gentle snake-like jade arm wrapped around Shen Yi's neck, and she leaned behind Shen Yi's ear and exhaled softly: "Believe it or not, Aunt Ben can kill you with one move." ”
Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "Just a minute ago, someone told me that the biggest advantage of being a captain of a melee powerhouse is that it is deterrent and convincing, and now I really believe it." As the captain, being shouted and killed by his own teammates is really shameless. ”
Gentle sneered: "Who told you not to fight yourself, you don't even have an attack skill until now." ”
Shen Yi suddenly slid sideways, twisted his gentle arm, gentle was unguarded for a while, but after being twisted by him, the invisible vampire touch had been driven on Gentle's neck, and he smiled: "No skills, it's not the same to kill?"
The gentle and charming eyes glanced at him for a moment, and suddenly the jade neck leaned back, dodging Shen Yi's dagger at the same time, and kicked Shen Yi with a flying kick. Her foot contains the ability of a high-speed neural response system, which is fast and urgent, and Shen Yi is not able to resist it at all.
Shen Yi was kicked off the spot by this kick, and threw it out with a gentle whip, curling Shen Yi upright, and then pulling him back, the katana was on Shen Yi's neck, and he smiled: "I'm afraid it's going to be more difficult." ”
Suddenly I felt a hard object touching my lower body.
Gentle was stunned, but found that it was Shen Yi's spirit spear that had been pointed at her lower abdomen.
Shen Yi smiled: "There are two guns here, you can choose one yourself." ”
Gentle blushed, and the katana and whip disappeared at the same time.
"I won't mess with you. She said, "Come with me, and tell me about what happened today." ”
"Be willing to obey. ”
So just like that, the two walked under the moon together, gossiping casually.
The soldiers didn't bother them, and the adventurers didn't know each other so much.
Together, they walked out of the repair center and into an empty wilderness.
Looking at the starry sky and feeling the quiet and charming night, I have a special taste in my heart.
Wen Rou suddenly pulled Shen Yi to sit down, pointed to the night sky in the distance and said, "You say, could the bloody city be one of the stars?" It is now blinking at us. Maybe you're still saying, "Hey, I've given you such a difficult task, and you're still in the mood to look at the stars here?" Tomorrow, I'll send a bunch of robots to kill you!"
"It's possible!" Shen Yi replied seriously: "I don't know why, for the past few hours, I have been feeling like I'm being spied on, as if someone is staring at us." Maybe that's Skynet. ”
"Then why don't we resist tomorrow, or run away as soon as possible?"
"Okay. ”
Wen Wen rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "Forget it, you have to try anyway, it's too late to run if you can't beat it, right?"
Shen Yi laughed: "Okay, then try, if we really can't beat it, we'll run again." ”
The gentle voice suddenly lowered: "I'm afraid it'll be too late then." ”
Shen Yi was stunned, Wen Wen had already gently leaned on his thigh, and muttered: "How many hours are left, the sky will be dawn?" I am so tired in my heart, I want to sleep but I dare not sleep. I'm afraid that when I wake up, the enemy's muzzle is already on my head......"
Shen Yi patted her cheek: "Sleep, I'm here, it's okay." ”
"That'...... You promised me not to do anything while I was asleep. ”
"Of course, I've always been a gentleman. ”
"And where do you put your hands now?"
"Aren't you asleep yet? ”
“...... Dead pervert. ”
Gently turned over and lay down in Shen Yi's arms and fell asleep.
Shen Yi looked at her smile, and for some reason, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
The feeling of being peeped at in my heart became stronger and stronger, but I don't know where it came from.
A sense of crisis for no reason made him shiver all over his body.
Gentleness rolled over in his arms and whispered, "Don't move." ”
Shen Yi was a little dazed for a while.
