Chapter 565: New Weapons
The level of orange fighting spirit is about the elite level in the general army, such as some veterans with rich qualifications, and some excellent grassroots or middle-level officers. If it's a mercenary group, you can basically enter the core of the group, and if it's a smaller mercenary group, you can even be the leader.
Although the summit is still unattainable, you will find that it has climbed a lot higher when you look down. The group of red vindictive spirit can be said to have the largest proportion of combatants. If you want to talk about a continent-wide combat effectiveness ranking, when a person jumps from red to orange, then his ranking may jump tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, in an instant.
"What weapons do you usually use?" asked the Assassin Headmaster casually. After a successful breakthrough, it is a period of stability, don't think about the sudden rush, that is unrealistic. During the period of stability, you can try some new tactics and even new development directions.
"I'm a sword and shield or something," Kevin replied, "and I'm from the military, and I'm better at defense." After all, defensive wars are fought a lot. ”
"But I'm not good at defense," the Assassin leader said, "I'm better at offense." Even when an attack comes, I'm used to dodging, and I don't defend much. Besides, the mission to assassinate me isn't over yet. If you just defend, you can't kill anyone. ”
"Actually, I've always thought about defending against the first wave of attacks, and then taking the opportunity to damage the enemy with illusions. Kevin spoke his mind.
The Assassin Guild was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That's a good idea. However, a lot of your intelligence is known to the enemy, and the illusion itself has a success rate, and if there are many people on the other side in actual combat, they can be lifted from each other, and your illusion may not be able to attack in groups, right? ”
However, the Assassin leader changed his words: "But it also depends on the situation, for example, against the Minotaur, the intelligence is so low, it may be more convenient to use illusions." But you can't eat all over the world in one move, for example, in the face of me, you can try illusions. See if it works?"
Kevin fell into deep thought. I secretly thought that even if I used other weapons and tricks, it would have no effect.
"Tell me, what kind of weapons do you like?" the Assassin Guild pulled out some drawings, "I have a lot of Qimen weapons here, you can pick one and try it." ”
"Cast ...... Do catapults count?" came to Kevin's mind.
The Assassin President was silent for a moment: "We're talking about small arms. ”
"Okay, then......" Kevin hesitated for a moment, but still had the audacity to say, "Let's classify catapults as small arms, shall we?"
Assassin President: "......"
"I had similar thoughts back in the days of the exercise," Kevin said casually, "and we have a space ring, and it's not difficult to put the whole catapult in it." When fighting, when encountering the enemy, the entire catapult is thrown out, and it can even be directly smashed to the opposite side. ”
"In the same way, I think all kinds of chariots, magic defense towers, city defense heavy crossbows, etc., can be counted as light weapons. Kevin replied.
Assassin President: "......"
"There may be some technical difficulties, but they are not difficult to overcome. For example, the question of the timing of the tank in battle, the question of position, whether it is necessary to have a vehicle," Kevin opened his mind, "I even considered a scenario in which I jumped in the air during the battle, and my legs were slightly bent to present a volley sitting position. Then I instantly released the chariot in the Space Ring, and as long as the timing was right, I could sit directly in the cab. ”
The Assassin President fell silent and sighed for a long time: "You remind me that one of our several Holy Tiers is also used to placing defense towers in the space ring, throwing them out directly during battle, and building a formation with their own spells. ”
Kevin nodded and leaned over to the Assassin President: "So, times have changed. ”
Assassin President: "......"
"And how long do you think it will take to get the tactics you speak of and actually pose a threat to me?" asked the Assassin Leader again.
"Uh......" Kevin was embarrassed for a moment, "This needs to be developed, and time is hard to say." ”
"That said, times haven't changed. The Assassin leader smiled, "You probably think it's safe to drive fast and have high defenses. But for those of us who are strong in the Holy Rank, it is more cumbersome than practical. We run faster than the car, our defense itself is higher than the armor, and the car limits our agility. It is true that we can drive better cars, and maybe there will be cars suitable for the Holy Tier in the future, but at least for now, times have not changed. ”
"However, it's about to change," Kevin was still unconvinced, "the melee performance of the vehicle really can't compete with the Holy Order. But remote is different. ”
"Remote?" the Assassin leader was surprised, "Are you underestimating the Holy Order?"
"No," Kevin replied, "I'm not underestimating anyone. But the Holy Rank is also a human after all, and there is also time to react. As long as the attack speed is fast enough, as long as the attack power is strong enough, then the Holy Rank will eventually die. And the attack speed and attack power can actually be hard-stacked through the membrane method. ”
The Assassin Guild shook his head, "Theoretically, it does, and there have been similar ones in history. But this requires the mobilization of large-scale manpower and material resources to do this, which is already at the level of corps warfare. And we seem to be talking...... Small arms? right?"
"What I mean is how to cram a huge amount of firepower into one or several spatial rings. Kevin replied.
"Is it a one-man operation?" asked the Assassin Headmaster.
"As much as possible," Kevin didn't dare to pack his ticket, "Of course it's impossible to make a fool of yourself and go back and forth with the Holy Order." Only on the premise of obtaining advance information can the target location be bombarded. But the so-called assassination was originally the first strike and one hit. In fact, I really thought about how to assassinate you, but such an assassination would not be exercised, so I gave up. ”
"Oh, how to assassinate?" the Assassin president was intrigued.
"All I have to do is blow up your house, and you'll be assassinated. Kevin replied as a matter of course.
Assassin President: "......"
In the evening, Kevin came back with another beating, but he got used to it. Although it seems to be cautious and polite, in fact, you dare to say anything, and you should practice your ability to resist hits.
This small talk was actually Kevin's own attempt to establish his own direction of development, and although the Assassin President was a little dissatisfied, he did not directly oppose it. I only told him in the end that even if such a powerful "light weapon" is really developed, its use will inevitably be severely restricted.
But Kevin doesn't care much about this, for orange vindictive, having an ordinary vehicle can improve a lot. However, Kevin still seriously considered the kindness of the Assassin President. That night, bring back those Qimen weapon drawings and study them carefully.
The study was also an eye-opener, with a jumble of jagged, rounded, and perforated swords, as well as a variety of shapeshifting weapons, including a telescopic spear with a small spoon. But her weapons seem to be the most normal type, and there are all kinds of big swords that are dismantled and turned into big scissors, and big scissors are dismantled again to become double swords, and the hilts of the two swords can be connected together and become a kind of two-pointed thing......
Kevin studied it for a long time, but he took a fancy to a shield. The shield is a round shield, which can cover half of the body under normal circumstances, but there is also a circle of iron pieces on the edge, and the iron pieces can be turned outward through the mechanism, and the whole shield is as large as a flower.
This shield doesn't seem to have any other function, and it feels very fragile to be so neat on something that is used for protection. Could it be that after the shield bloomed, it flew out to be used as a dart? Or was it used to hold an umbrella on the head? This drawing is too sketchy to understand.
But Kevin is interested in another aspect, and when it comes to illusion, the most suitable is the shield. There is a very large shield surface that can be drawn, as a physical illusion aid, and at the same time, it has a good defense itself, which can set the first wave of attacks.
Imagine if this shield is painted with a funny picture, the enemy will inevitably be attracted to attention immediately, and then it will be easier for Kevin to try illusions on the other side.
The next day, Kevin handed over the chosen weapon to the Assassin Headmaster and explained his intentions.
The Assassin President immediately mocked: "Wouldn't it be nice for you to draw a shield yourself?
"No, the shield I made myself can't bloom," Kevin forcibly defended, "and the blooming antics are even more funny." ”
"Do you know what this shield is for?" the Assassin leader couldn't help but ask, "This shield was left by a light mage assassin, and it was mainly used for reflection, the so-called mirror shield." With its own flash activation, the surrounding petals can be adjusted, and the size and distance of the reflection can be controlled. And you're going to draw funny on the mirror? That's funny!"
Kevin was embarrassed for a moment: "Well, you didn't write it on the drawing." "I thought that the Qimen weapon must be useful, but I didn't expect that I couldn't use it at all.
"You can also make some changes as needed, but when the time comes, you can go and talk to the craftsman yourself. I'll give you the address of the craftsman, and I'll let you do it. The Assassin President waved Kevin away.
"Oh yes, you pay for it yourself. The Assassin President added.
Kevin had no choice but to return home, and instead of going directly to the craftsman, he tried to improve it in the dormitory himself. I tried a variety of schemes, consulted a lot of information, compared many patterns, and did three paper shields to test the effect, and after two busy days, I finally got the basic results.
Overall, it is still the bottom plate of the flowering shield, and it has barely moved. The shield is still funny, but the petals are painted with blue-and-white lines of different thicknesses. As the angle of the petals changes, so does the thickness of the line. This is due to the contrast, which gives the funny picture in the middle an optical illusion of flickering big and small.
Kevin was pleased with the result, and did not change the physical structure of the shield, so that its defense was also guaranteed, and its illusion ability was superior.
Then it was time to send the drawings to the craftsman, Kevin didn't explain anything, and the craftsman just raised his eyebrows. It seems that they have become accustomed to all kinds of strange weapons. But it's still too expensive, and this thing costs Kevin two months' salary. However, as the main weapon, it is actually worth it.
Then there was a week of waiting, and Kevin was in the dorm room to practice the tactics of the funny shield, holding a paper shield and posing in front of the mirror, far or near, up or down. The key is what should be equipped with the right hand? with a sword, with a sword, or ...... And a funny shield?
A week later, Kevin got his new weapon. Moderate weight, excellent defense, flexible traps, love to put down. When I went to bed, I hung my shield at the head of the bed, and when I woke up in the morning, I saw that it was funny, and I was in a good mood.
However, when Kevin returned to the Earl's Court with his new comic shield, the Assassin President was no longer at home. Asked the butler, the butler replied, "If you asked this question, the Earl said, 'He was worried that you would blow up his house, so he would not stay here'. ”
Kevin was helpless and asked, "Then where did he go?"
"Sorry, I don't know. ”
"Okay. Kevin was helpless, and was about to leave, but he looked back at the huge manor and hesitated for a moment.
"Butler," Kevin whispered, "you know...... Where's the little spoon?"
The butler turned to look at Kevin, "What's the matter in the kitchen?"
"Uh...... Haha," Kevin chuckled dryly, "It's okay, I'll go first." ”
