Chapter 347: Fighting in a group
After a solemn funeral, Moramachi Town returned to calm, but unfortunately it can't be quiet, whether it is a mercenary who is usually used to being a mercenary who lives a life, or a highly motivated person, now they are seizing all the time to practice hard, and the next time the undead creatures attack, a little more strength may be able to escape the catastrophe, in Moramachi Town, a wave of large-scale military training is slowly surging. [Full text reading]
Who knew that after more than a month, the large army of undead creatures seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and occasionally only a few or a dozen zombies could be seen, wandering outside the town without a purpose, and every time they appeared, the mercenaries who were full of energy would rush out and cut down those undead like melons and vegetables, so as to vent a little.
Everyone knows that the base number of undead creatures can be described as huge, so no matter how calm the atmosphere is, no one dares to take it lightly.
On this day, An Fei took Suzanne and the couple from the shadow mercenary group to watch Kumorogosha train mercenaries together, in fact, this kind of training is painful for both parties, those mercenaries are miserable, the queue training is too monotonous, and they don't think that standing up straight and walking together can help in actual combat. Kumorogosa was even more painful, he couldn't figure out why the mercenaries were so clumsy!? Normally, their performance was okay, but when it came to the battle drill, the infantry phalanx, which should have been kept in order, immediately became a mess, and the mercenaries also turned into a herd of animals, including rampaging bison, monkeys jumping up and down, and some stragglers bravely broke away from the battle line and flocked to both sides like a herd of wild wolves. Kumorogosa knew that they were trying to outflank the enemy in front of him, because he had corrected it countless times, but ...... Please, in a real battle, outflanking is definitely going to be done, but that will be done by other infantry phalanxes, whose task is to hold the line and strangle the enemy's living forces as best they can.
Kumoro Gosha though experienced in combat. But it's a bit old-fashioned, the mercenaries are good at fighting freely, assuming that their formation is scattered by a group of demonic beasts, even if only a few mercenaries get together, they can immediately cooperate, there is the main attack, there is the main resistance, and there is also response, but it is a little difficult to let hundreds of people do one action repeatedly at the same time. And Kumorogosha used it the wrong way. In order to boost the morale of the mercenaries, he decided that the victors in the exercise could eat the food of the vanquished, and now the food distribution is rationed, and the losers can only rely on leftovers to fill their stomachs, and in the first exercise, the side that insisted on maintaining the infantry phalanx was defeated by the side of the 'free fight', and starved for a night, after which the mercenaries came to their senses. Who cares about the battle formation? Take out all the skills to press the bottom of the box, anyway, you can fight!
Now the field is in chaos again, and the wooden swords in the hands of the mercenaries are stained with white ash. According to the rules, if the vital point is hit and the off-white mark is left behind, the soldier is killed and must leave the battlefield immediately, but there is always someone who plays tricks for a good dinner. When the enemy saw it, he was not angry, and naturally he followed suit, and the result was that you relied on it, I relied on it, and everyone relied on it together. In such a hot battle, there was not even a single place of death. Especially those strong and rampaging mercenaries, their bodies have almost become snow-white, but the wooden swords in their hands are still vigorous, if they are on the real battlefield, they can have such a defensive power that ignores attacks, they must be super powerhouses of the first order of the Sword Master.
Long and Ling laughed on the sidelines, and couldn't even straighten their waists, where is this to interpret the war? It is basically a group of thugs fighting in groups, and fortunately, they are not allowed to use fighting spirit during the exercise, otherwise there will be casualties.
An Fei glanced at the couple and smiled silently, he never asked them to join a group, give them food, give them shelter, give them freedom, as a result, they felt very embarrassed, and took the initiative to take on the task several times, but An Fei refused their request on the grounds that they were injured. In fact, he is putting a long line to catch a big fish, zombies are extremely sensitive to human breath, but they can hide around zombies without being discovered, proving that they have a unique and effective stealth method, this is the best candidate to be a scout, now there is a magic group responsible for guarding, for the time being, they will not be needed, there will definitely be a place where they will be needed in the future.
Kumorokosha walked over dejectedly, he gave up, at least today, he didn't even announce the order, let those mercenaries continue to fight, until he walked up to An Fei, and said in a low tone: "My lord, they may be a qualified mercenary, but they will never be a qualified warrior, I'm sorry, I disappointed you." ”
"Kumorogosha, I think you misunderstood me. An Fei laughed: "I asked you to train them, not to change them into another kind of person, but to play to their strengths." ”
"Strengths? That's their strengths. Kumoro Gosha pointed with his hand and smiled bitterly.
"You've been in the army for a long time, and you're not used to it. An Fei shook his head and said, "I have an idea, so let's talk about it later in the evening." ”
"It's hilarious
Got fighting?" Alice walked over with a smile, carrying something light in her hand.
"Alice, what are you holding in your hand?" An Fei asked curiously.
"It's a crossbow that the dwarves just made. Alice handed the crossbow to Anfei.
"When will the dwarves make crossbows?" asked Kumoragosha in surprise. The crossbow has been a weapon for a long time, but it has always been despised by the people, who consider it a shameless weapon, full of subversion, because a beggar who is about to starve to death can also inflict damage on knights, swordsmen and magicians with the crossbow, but the kings of various countries attach great importance to this weapon, and it is because of their support that the widely criticized crossbow is not only not banned, but more and more sophisticated.
"Don't underestimate the dwarves, they are the smartest craftsmen in the world. Alice said slowly, "My lord, you can try." ”
An Fei looked around, and selected an earthen wall, he was very familiar with the crossbow weapon, although the craftsmanship between the two worlds is very different, but many things with the same effect can be seen at a glance, An Fei raised his hand, pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow shot out with a scream, hitting the earthen wall.
Then a puff of white smoke came out, and the bolts softened at a speed perceptible to the naked eye until they turned into a bright red liquid that flowed down the walls, making a sizzling sound wherever they passed.
"Really...... Magic arrows?" Kumorogosha's eyes widened, he had sensed a faint fluctuation of mana just now.
"Yes, it's a pity that Hagen is not here. Alice sighed, "We have so many magicians, and with Hagen's help, we can produce better magic arrows, and those goblins have mastered only the rudimentary alchemy, and at most they can only go so far." ”
"It's already pretty good. An Fei nodded.
"It's not enough, my lord. Alice said softly, "Magic arrows all have a certain splashing ability, which can only be regarded as the lowest. ”
"Something is better than nothing. An Fei thought for a moment, "Susanna, if someone attacks you with this kind of crossbow arrow, can it hurt you?"
Suzanne shook her head, and Alice smiled: "My lord, you also underestimate the combat power of high-level swordsmen, only the most sophisticated magic arrows can pose a certain threat to Lady Susanna." ”
"What if a few thousand people attack you with such crossbow arrows?"
"I'm not going to be stupid enough to stand there as an arrow target. “
At this moment, a dwarf ran over in a hurry, and when he was still more than ten meters away from everyone, he stood there and raised the thing in his hand and shouted, "My lord, it has been made!"
It was also a crossbow, but it was very small, about the size of a dwarf's palm, and Alice nodded, "Take it and show it to the adults." ”
As soon as the dwarf took a step, something flew from the school field, it was a wooden sword that flew out of his hand in the struggle, and the wooden sword drew an arc-shaped trajectory in mid-air, and it hit the back of the dwarf's head, and the dwarf staggered, and a sharp sound sounded to break the air, and the crossbow arrow in the dwarf's hand had been shot.
The dwarf was walking towards An Fei, and the crossbow arrow was also pointing at An Fei, Alice took a step forward, but unfortunately she was not a swordsman, and her magic cultivation was also very low, and the reaction speed of an ordinary woman could be imagined, and the crossbow arrow had already passed by her when she started to move. Kumorogosha felt to his waist, but he felt empty, he had already taken off the long sword before the drill began, only Suzanne had the fastest reaction, the long sword stabbed halfway, and suddenly fixed in the air, because by this time An Fei's hand had already grasped the crossbow arrow.
Everyone showed a look of horror, it was nothing that An Fei could catch the crossbow arrow, what shocked them was that the crossbow arrow stopped quietly in An Fei's hand, there was no change, but it was obviously also a magic arrow!
With a flick of his wrist, An Fei let go of his finger, and the crossbow arrow fell to the ground, instantly turning into a cloud of bright red liquid, and the solid yellow earth was burned by the liquid with a deep trace.
Everyone was silent, and Long and Ling's mouths were so wide open that they could almost fit a fist into a fist, a phenomenon that was unbelievable to them, and only those two words in the legend could give a reasonable explanation for it. Suzanne's expression is the most normal, she knows the little secret between Anfei and Alice, at the beginning Anfei just let Alice use magic to attack him, and finally became more and more arrogant, repeatedly snatching Alice's control of the small fireball, little Alice felt bullied, of course she would complain to Susanna, and Anfei's performance at the moment only represents progress.
"Bring the crossbow. An Fei said softly.
The dwarf was already stupid, he couldn't hear An Fei's words at all, but Gu Mo Luo Gosha snatched the crossbow, turned around and handed it to An Fei, An Fei looked at it for a moment, buckled the crossbow machine with his finger, shook his head and said: "It's too sensitive, this kind of crossbow will cause accidental injury, like today, take it back and modify it." ”
