There was an "empty" area in the sky not far from King Mansicott's camp, but there was a disturbance of the air flow and the smell of perfume, as if some large transparent object was circling and flying.

Those were two fanged wyverns with an "invisible enchantment" and their owners on their backs, Sugata and Spencer. The two of them were triumphantly riding on the back of the wyvern, using arcane vision to determine each other's positions. At the same time, he observed the small insect-sized people on the ground.

"I've set the effects of the Eagle Eye and Sharp Ears to King Mansicott's side. Sugata faced the wind in the clouds and mist, and said, "Let's see what kind of pre-war mobilization he is going to do." ”

Eagle Eye and Sharp Ear Techniques do not make your sense of sight and hearing farther, but set a spell energy field to a distant location, and people can use this energy field to observe things. It's as if you were standing in that spot and looking around.

Now Sugata felt that he was "standing at the king's side" and watched him deliver his pre-war speech with great enthusiasm:

Do you remember the glory, you fought off the murderous dwarves in the snow and ice!

Do you remember those prides, who once resisted the cannibalistic gnolls by eating wild herbs and leather armor!

Do you remember those glorious ones? You hunted down dishonest kobolds with your feet and straw sandals!

Now, the kingdom of Escobar, which has no one in sight, wants to monopolize the rich crystal mine that originally belonged to our kingdom of Mansicott! Can we say yes?

"Can't!" Sugata heard the soldiers shouting "around": "Defeat Escobar's fools, take our riches, and share our spoils!"

They kept shouting, raising their weapons, magic wands, and magic staffs with high confidence, chanting with red faces, and marching towards the plains of the battle in a neat line.

"Ah~~~" Sugata yawned and shouted to Spencer, "Why do these guys say the same thing? What glory, pride, and glory do you talk about every time? and then pull out those waste wood, dog-headed lizardmen, and gnolls to strengthen their morale? I guess the king of Escobar on the other side said the same thing." It's boring!"

Spencer laughed: "What can they say if they don't say that? Do you say to those soldiers: Hey, you fight well, I will pay you disability and settling-in payment." Hmph, don't mention it, the income from the crystal mine is not enough for the king and the nobles to distribute. Who cares about these ordinary hard-working soldiers? I think that no matter which side wins this time, the king and the nobles will have to fight over how to divide the income from the crystal mines. ”

"They don't have that chance. Sugata laughed, "The winners this time are our teacher and the red dragon. Hey~~ It's still a little late for the teacher to do this kind of thing, otherwise the two of us would have made a fortune a long time ago. Counting money every day until my hands cramped, where do you still use riding a flying dragon to toss around. ”

Dong Hezi and his men were still crowded outside the city with a large group of caravans.

"Why didn't they let us in?" asked Toko, "It would be bad if the battle ahead spread to us." ”

The boss lay on the carpet of the grass, stared blankly at the sky and replied, "It's all big caravans inside." They're always the first to be protected. A small caravan like ours can only beg the gods for protection outside. After saying that, he turned over in a dull mood and went to pretend to sleep. He just wanted to escape the reality of all the calamities.

Dong Hezi looked at the crowded caravans around him, and found that they were indeed small and medium-sized caravans. Their eyes can be either anxious or helpless, numb or angry. But without exception, all the mercenaries were preparing for the war.

The same goes for Mackenzie here. He was ordering his men to put on the armor they could, sharpen their weapons, and stretch their muscles for battle. Even the mage was cleaning up his spell equipment, and he took something strange-smelling from his pocket and prepared some arcane arts.

Dong Hezi leaned over and asked McKenzie: "Will the armies of those two countries rob us in a big war?"

Mackensi's approach to the "pastor" was rather polite: "Of course, this kind of thing happens a lot. You've encountered quite a few of them before. Please prepare a few more healing spells this time, because the casualties will be relatively large when fighting with the regular army. Oh, and by the way, you'll want to heal our wounded first. The other teams have their own priests and paladins, so let's save our own lives first. ”

Dong Hezi nodded, he had done a lot of things like cutting paths when he was a general before. For these unprotected caravans, the result is the same regardless of whether they encounter a victorious or a defeated army. Suddenly, he remembered something again, and asked, "Then why don't you all unite to defend against the attackers? ”

"It's hard. McKenzie sighed: "Everyone understands this, but if you really want to fight together, someone must take the lead and be cannon fodder." The mercenary is willing to go, and who is responsible for the compensation after death? The mercenary's original boss will not be responsible. These small and medium-sized bosses are all masters of careful calculations, and others have to fight for a long time for a copper plate if they pick them out, not to mention that this matter is a matter of life and death, and the cost is staggering? You see, where can extremely important matters such as life and money be coordinated and satisfied for a while. It will take ten days and a half months for the big powers to coordinate with each other, let alone these small caravans that are used to being scattered?"

He pointed around again and said, "You see, the team here is so mixed, the small team is afraid that they will be sold again, and the big team is not convinced by each other, and everyone wants to be the leader." Some of them are still competitors, and I wish they were finished sooner. If they could join forces, the Greenland Spirits would have dominated the world long ago. Even if there was a miracle, everyone agreed to unite. These mercenaries do not have uniform weapons, large differences in training status, and different mentalities, so how can they be dispatched and fought like real troops? As long as the pressure is great, they will still collapse. ”

He smiled again and said, "So, I know it's a dead end, but everyone has to go on." It just depends on who will survive to the end. We have experienced this kind of thing a lot, no matter what others do, it is the smartest to save our own lives. But then again, maybe those armies won't come and loot. Who can say for sure? It depends on whether the gods will bless us. ”

Dong Hezi nodded, didn't this kind of thing happen in the Warring States Period? Everyone knew that combining a single force could destroy the Qin State, but each had a ghost and fell apart, and the last one was destroyed by the Qin State. There is really no lower limit to the collective IQ!

The two of them chatted a little more, and suddenly heard an excited voice in the distance: "Fight!

Dong Hezi suddenly wanted to see how the war in this world was going on, so he recited a spell to make a third-order spell "Vaporize Form". In an instant, the body became like a dark blue cloud, gathering and slowly flying towards the battle point in the distance.

Behind him, several of the caravan's mages hesitated for a moment, and followed with flying spells. Go far away and join in the fun.

Spencer rode on the back of the wyvern and shouted excitedly, "Fight! Fight! The vanguard has already collided." It's strange, why didn't they use the magic equipment they bought before the confrontation? ”

"That's because human life isn't as valuable as those spell tools. Sugata said patiently, "Haven't you heard? These poor ravines say, "To have a child is to add a little more bran to the bread." That thing can't even buy a powerful long-range exploding fireball scroll even if you pile twenty carts. Naturally, the enemy will first use human lives to consume the opponent's living force, and then use mage troops to bombard the enemy intensively from the air. But this time it was a big scene, and the mage troops on both sides brought a large number of spell tools. I don't know what this meeting is going to be. I don't know if I'm going to die another batch of mages. Speaking of this, the tone was even emotional and unbearable. Probably because he is also a mage, he can't help but feel sad that some rabbits and foxes have died.

"Whatever. Spencer was still excitedly staring at the battle below: "Look, look. It's quite disciplined. Each squad is dispatched quickly and cooperates well with each other. Alas, I used to think that these small countries were fighting in groups. ”

Sugata laughed, "How is that possible? These poor nations often fight against those vulgar dwarves. They have few mages and mage equipment, so they will naturally develop strong melee abilities. It is said that in times of crisis, all the people can be soldiers. Otherwise, he would have been captured by the dwarves as slaves and gods. ”

Spencer sneered, "What's the use of being strong in close combat? A group of mage flying troops, use the long-range spell to clean them up casually! If you run into the birdmen of the Three Towers, you will be blown into slag if you don't even see each other." ”

At this time, Dong Hezi, who had turned into a blue cloud, was carefully observing his body.

This was the first time he had used this spell since he had practiced the Lei Gong Seal. Originally, I didn't feel anything special when I used it, but this time it's different. When the nature of his body became similar to that of a cloud and mist, his true power was faintly and automatically induced by the power of heaven and earth! As soon as it was a little running, a large number of electric sparks crackled in the entire blue cloud, and the power of thunder and lightning faintly resounded in the clouds, like a vicious tiger hiding in the forest ready to kill its prey at any time. Dong Hezi secretly estimated that in this state, only fifty percent of the original true power would be needed to form a complete electric whip or a chain of lightning that emitted supernatural powers.

What's even better is that this natural mutual induction even induces a change in the primordial spirit, prompting the true power of the whole body to work slowly! Just like a natural teacher who is teaching the students how to mobilize the power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth. This is something that is unimaginable on Earth!

On Earth, even with the guidance of a Master, it is even more difficult to cultivate the true Thunder Dharma. It's not that the teacher hides it and doesn't teach it, but when he does the exercises, there are some places that cannot be described and taught in words. If you can't understand these places, you will stagnate at best, or misunderstand the meaning of the fairy scriptures, go astray or even go crazy!

For this reason, countless ancestors have tried all kinds of methods, either to use herbs to assist in practice, or to draw on the Inner Dan Method to guide their practice, or to make people strictly protect the Dharma at various points of cultivation to ensure that they are not lost, or to guide them with the help of the power of ghosts and gods, and some people even borrow the method of Buddhism to break the five aggregates to practice the Thunder Method. None of this can completely eliminate errors. That's like now, the universe teaches you the thunder method by itself!

As the so-called Qi is not refined, but innate. It's just that mortals are blinded by the changes in the seven emotions and six desires, the five aggregates and the five elements, and can't grasp the qi. Therefore, the pearl is hidden in the withered mussel, and the jade is buried in the stubborn stone. Nature can't change supernatural powers and achieve immortal paths. Therefore, the ancestors set up all kinds of methods in order to break the cover of the seven emotions and six desires, the five aggregates and the five elements, so that the function of Qi can naturally appear

The same is true of Lei Fa, as a type of alchemy. Whether it is obedience, Dan Dao, contemplation or other methods, it is necessary to break through the obstacles of the five aggregates and five elements, so that the body and mind can sense the thunderous power generated by the combination of yin and yang between heaven and earth. The problem is that the practitioner has to sink his body and mind very deeply in order to feel that feeling. And it may not be right!

And now, as long as the mind is calm, there will be obvious induction, and there is also a practical effect to verify, how can practicing the thunder method again be twice the result with half the effort? This is completely a triple jump.

Dong Hezi was extremely happy in his heart, and with a little force, the changing blue cloud suddenly slashed out a purple-red thunderbolt, shattering a rock as big as a horse on the ground with a "bang".

He laughed in his heart, slowly sensing the power of heaven and earth. Slowly fly towards the battlefield with a murderous sound.

In front of him, an open plain appeared, and when viewed from the sky, those human beings were like ants gathered and fighting, gathering in several black groups to fight each other. But if you look closely, you will find that there is a big gap with the cold weapons of the earth.

The first is that there is no large battle formation. Neither the Macedonian large assault phalanx nor the Spanish combined phalanx of various arms were absent. All the soldiers fought in twenty or thirty groups of twenty or thirty into a battle group, which became either round or square or long as needed.

If you look closely, each combat group has a complete configuration of troops, with crossbowmen in the distance, spearmen or halberders in the distance, and sword and shield soldiers in the close. Some teams also have a constant aura of spells, as if they were arcane soldiers like Mackens casting spells to support their teammates. What's even more interesting is that although these groups are small in number, each group cooperates well with each other, and the divisions and mergers are very fast, as if they can communicate with each other.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that there were not low-level spells such as "wind signal technique, short message technique", etc.? It was also possible to store a dozen of them in the magic wand at a time, and of course they could flexibly communicate and coordinate with each other, thus overcoming the shortcomings of small combat groups that could not cooperate with each other during combat.

It's like the war on Earth, in the era of less developed communications, the more concentrated battles are preferred, and the larger the formation of the army. The more developed communications are, the more mobile operations and split operations are preferred. In the 21st century, even small groups were encouraged to fight. There are even small combat units that can be combined and split at will, and these combat units can be recombined into a large battle cluster when needed.

For no other reason, the advantage of the small group strategy is that it is easy to find the weak links in the enemy's formation, but it is not easy to summon teammates to carry out concentrated strikes and key breakthroughs. It is difficult to even communicate with each other and fight together, and it is easy to get lost in the ever-changing battlefield and be broken by the enemies in large formations.

However, when communication capabilities are sufficient, small combat groups can overcome this weakness and develop a very flexible tactic. Eat enemies that seem to be huge, but are actually under the ability to change.

Each small fighting group is like a tenacious ant, mixing with the enemy and fighting each other. Bright red corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Spencer shouted in surprise: "Look! Mage troops on both sides are flying out! Hahaha, I really want to know what their expressions are when they meet together, hahahaha"

Sugata looked down and took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw more than twenty mages gathered in a group and flew out quickly from the rear of King Mansikot's ** array, and flew away violently from the battle area in front of him.

"Looks like it's using the Crowd Flying Scroll and Crowd Acceleration Scroll we sold them. Sugata said, "Yo, it seems that none of them are official mages, but some apprentices who only know the first and second order of arcane arts. ”

"Oh, then they're too bold, aren't they?" said Spencer in amazement, "Take the scroll you bought from us and go straight to the battlefield?" When the time comes, it will be useless to fall on the battlefield, crying dad and calling mom!"

"Alas~~ Where can such a poor country train real mages, and the expensive tuition fees may not even be affordable for these kings. Even if there is a full-fledged mage once in a while, how can he stay in such a poor place? Isn't it a sharp head to drill into a big city? No matter how bad it is, he has to sneak into an adventure team and go out to mess around. Sugata turned around and said, "And it shouldn't be disenchanted." They bought so many Augmentation Burst Fireballs, Augmentation Ice Storms, and Augmentation Chain Lightning Bolts, which were supposed to kill and injure the opponent's ground troops from a distance. Even if the arcane soldiers on the ground had the tools to dispel magic, they wouldn't be able to reach the range. ”

"Hahahaha. Spencer suddenly laughed and said, "That's true, you see Mansicott's mages are bombarding the other side's follow-up troops." ”

Sugata craned his neck to take a look, only to see the mages of the Mansicott Kingdom floating a little after the melee between the two armies, and they all took out the magic wands and scrolls they had purchased and began to cast spells a little slowly. Bursts of colorful spell light flickered from there, and bursting fireballs and serial lightning flashed out like a torrential rain, drawing a long arc and falling straight to the enemy position in the distance. Bursts of ice storms also suddenly rose from the enemy positions, making a violent whistling sound.

This is where the other advantage of small battle groups comes in: they are able to quickly avoid the amazing fireballs and ice storms due to their wide spread among themselves. These powerful spells bombarded the uninhabited clearing, shaking up two or three stories of terrifying dust. If it had been replaced by a large battle formation, they would have been bombarded to the ground in patches like wheat that had been cut down.

The effect of the chain lightning is much better, and it can sweep down several people in a combat group with a single shot. So those junior mages hurriedly switched to the chain lightning scroll. After a burst of singing, lightning bolts formed a gorgeous electric storm waterfall and leaped into the enemy's troops.

The dazzling electric light burst like a chaotic tide, crisscrossing and hurting people in all directions. Screams and moans rang out in waves.

The heavenly Spencer exclaimed, "That's gorgeous enough." It's been a long time since I've seen anything like this. It would have been even more spectacular if the wall of fire had been sold to them in the first place. Look! The mage troops of the Escobar Kingdom are also flying to the front line. Yo, some low-level mages, too. Alas, it's going to be a bombardment again, it's really boring. ”

Sugata took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that both mage troops had flown near the front line and saw each other.
