Chapter 1629 Dilemma

"Joan, this child, is indeed very likely to follow my advice and admit that it is more beneficial for him to stand by and stand by in the fight between the cultists and the invaders."

"However, a person's reason and emotion are not always consistent, especially young people, who often make not so smart decisions, not because they don't know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but because they can't get over the hurdle in their hearts and can't swallow it. That breath in your chest."

Lord Custis sighed, with a trace of melancholy in his eyes.

"Heimdall, you know that I am a guy with a low moral level. I always give priority to gain and loss when doing things. If I do too many bad things, my face will thicken, so I don't care."

"But Joan is different. The child's soul is like a flawless diamond. For him, 'person' can only be an end rather than a means. He has too high demands on his conscience. If someone has to be punished Hurt cannot be done, he would rather others feel sorry for himself first than take the initiative to hurt others."

"Of course I can persuade Joan to leave the Black Ax Mercenary Group alone. If a cultist dies, at least the world won't get worse."

"Joan can accept my point of view rationally, but he may not be able to accept it emotionally."

"Even if Sharman's party is a damned villain, he is unwilling to 'pull back' when the villain does good deeds, let alone take the opportunity to stab a knife in the back."

"If Sharman died in front of Joan as a 'comrade in arms', and he was clearly capable of helping him, but chose to stand on the sidelines and fail to fulfill his obligations as a comrade in arms, it would make him feel ashamed and condemned by his conscience." torture."

Lord Custis walked to the tent on crutches and gazed at the horizon at the end of the moor.

"Heimdall, the older you get, the more you become a philistine, the more you will miss those youthful years of striving for ideals, and cherish those simple, pure and beautiful things."

"I didn't persuade Joan to stay because I suddenly realized that I care more about whether the child is happy than calculating gains and losses."

...

Joan left the camp and flew over the battlefield in less than five minutes, overlooking the bloody scene of the two armies fighting with his own eyes. The visual impact was stronger than when he used magic to conduct long-distance reconnaissance.

At this time, the three infantry phalanxes of Fei Zhenren had completed the formation switch under the dispatch of General Kang Huali. The riflemen who were originally in the front row retreated collectively, and the heavy infantry with large shields and spears on their shoulders moved to the front row.

The Feizhen heavy infantry propped up the shields with brackets on the spot to form several simple shield walls, and then put their spears on the shield walls. There is a cold metallic luster under it.

Just taking a look at the densely packed sharp gun points from a distance, Joan got goose bumps all over his body.

Put yourself in your shoes, if you were a Midgardian cavalry, you might not have the courage to charge forward under the threat of flames and spears.

In fact, even if one had the courage, charging with a long spear might not be an act worth boasting about, it was purely suicidal.

Compared with human cavalry, the blight monsters of the black ax mercenary group and the orc shield axemen are more suitable for fighting the fizen pikemen.

Living plants like the wither monster have no pain-sensing nerves, and they will not be afraid of the densely packed spear points pointing at themselves, and the wooden body is naturally restrained from weapons that cause piercing damage such as arrows, bullets, and spears.

The strong and fierce orc mercenaries all hold a shield in their left hand and an ax in their right hand. They use their shields to hold their spears. With a single ax, they can easily cut off the wooden gun shafts. They are also good at breaking the spear array.

However, the premise is that the wither monsters and the green-skinned hunks can reach the Feizhen spearmen smoothly.

It's not easy.

On the battlefield, the different arms of the enemy and us form a chain of mutual restraint.

Feizhen's mage group happened to be the nemesis of the blight monster and the orc shield axeman.

The continuous fireballs turned the last two hundred yards of space between the two armies into a hell on earth. Even if the wither monsters and orc mercenaries rushed forward bravely, only one in ten of them could cross the line of fire in the end. , far from enough to pose a threat to the enemy's line of defense.

On the battlefield, spellcasters, as a unique tactical unit, are not invincible.

There are usually two strategies to fight against spellcaster troops. One is to use spellcasters to fight against spellcasters, and the other is to use the range advantage of crossbows or rifles to snipe enemy spellcasters.

Among the common spells, the "fireball" with the longest attack range usually has a range of no more than 250 yards, which is slightly lower than the limit range of bows and arrows, and even greater than the range of rifles.

Baron Laval is clearly aware of this problem, and he is summoning the mages and warlocks in the army to move forward. At the same time, the first cavalry battalion equipped with magic crystal rifles - "Blue Lancers" - has also gathered Arriving at Shuai's banner, he was ready to follow Baron Laval and launch a charge.

Joan made a quick calculation. If the battle continues as it is now, it will take at least 15 to 20 minutes for his mage group and the "Blue Lancers" to enter the range where they can attack the enemy mage group.

Joan was worried that the "Black Ax Mercenary Group" would not be able to last for so long. If his concerns unfortunately came true, General Kang Huali could withdraw the mage group to the rear after eliminating the Black Ax Mercenary Group to avoid casualties, and at the same time send the mage group to the rear again. The riflemen moved to the front row to meet their mages and "blue lancers".

Thinking of the ferocious firepower of the Feizhen line infantry, Joan felt that the prospects for this battle were very bad.

In order to prevent the battle situation from evolving in the direction he was worried about, Joan must do something as soon as possible to restrain the enemy's spellcasting troops so that they have no time to cast spells and bombard the "Black Ax Mercenary Group".

As long as he can open up the situation at this stage, Master Fei's tightly meshed tactical coordination like the gears of a clock will be out of touch, or even paralyzed, and his own troops will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

With the idea, the next question is how to implement it?

Joan doesn't want to directly attack the Feizhen mage group. Once he reveals his position, he will definitely attract hundreds of spellcasters to fight back. At the same time, he will also face the concentrated fire of 2,000 magic crystal rifles. No matter what protective spells are blessed , even though his whole body was made of iron, he was still instantly blasted into scum.

Joan didn't lack courage, but he didn't lose his mind and hit the enemy's guns by himself.

Is there a way to interfere with spellcasting without getting into range of enemy mages and gunners?

There is really a way, and there is more than one way!

Joan's first thought was to use the "Advanced Mosquito Finger Technique" to create a blood mosquito spy, and then establish a "mythical link" with the blood mosquito spy, so that this little insect could fly invisible to the enemy's position, and then As the starting point of the spell, the blood mosquito launched a surprise attack on the Feizhen mage group.
