Chapter 465: The Oriole Is in Action

Although he heard the shouts of the Iron-Armed Steel Bear and the mummy player, Ghost-Hand Nobunaga has no time to care about them now. Facing my strong attack, he and the Seven Nights Resurrection can only barely resist at best. Of course, if the super mode before Seven Nights Resurrection is activated, it can contain me for a period of time, because so far I have no way to deal with his super mode. Although I won the battle before, I used non-frontal tactics to drag me down. The time limit for his skill is reached. However, although the super mode of things can temporarily contain me, the price of this mode is the death of Qiye Huihun. This is not to say that the side effect of this skill is to directly cause the death of the player. The key is that the penalty of this skill is too severe, and my mobility is too high. Even if Seven Nights Resurrection enters super mode, he cannot take the initiative. Although he is invincible within the time limit of his skill, he cannot escape my monitoring range, so once his skill time limit is reached, he will definitely be killed by me. So now, Qiye Huihun knows that he can't defeat me without using that skill, but he still doesn't dare to use it.

The Seven Nights Resurrection and Ghost-Hand Nobunaga here were pinned to death by me and couldn't get away, but the mummy player and the Iron-Armed Steel Bear over there were only able to run around with their heads in their hands. The steel hound seemed to be gradually adapting to this new body. The fighting movements became more and more complex and the speed became faster and faster. In contrast, the surrounding Nobunaga's helpers were completely suppressed and beaten. Normal attacks cannot harm this monster whose whole body is made of steel, and the preparation time for advanced skills is too long. This steel hound moves super fast, making it impossible to aim.

Seeing the battle situation gradually getting out of control, Ghost Hand Nobunaga could only think of other things. He suddenly took out a very special-shaped badge from his body and hung it on his chest. Then he saw his mouth moving from time to time. It seemed that he was talking to someone, but the strange thing was that I He was so close that he couldn't hear anything.

In fact, this badge is a special communication device. The way it works is to use a magic circle to convert the user's voice into magic waves, which are then sent to another badge through the magic, and then converted into sound information. This process is somewhat similar to making a phone call over the Internet. The difference is that magic is used here instead of electricity, and magic is used instead of the Internet.

Of course, this kind of badge actually has some flaws, such as the mana consumption being a bit high. As a communication device, it requires the user to inject magic power when using it, which is already a flaw. Every bit of magic power is precious in battle, and one more magic-consuming thing means less combat effectiveness. Besides, the mana consumption of this thing is not low. This is obviously not very pleasant. Of course, Ghost-Hand Nobunaga doesn't have time to worry about that much now. Anyway, at this rate, his health will be bottomed out before his magic power is exhausted.

Except for the consumption of magic. Another disadvantage of this communication badge is that it can only perform point-to-point transmission. To put it simply, the function of this communication badge is similar to the landline phone at home. Only one party can call the other party at a time, and then the point-to-point communication can be carried out. And before the communication ends, others can no longer call in, as if the phone is busy. Same. In comparison, our guild's crystal communicator is much stronger. It not only supports multi-person conference mode, but also can add and remove certain communication nodes at will during the communication process. This ability to mix and match at will is obviously much better than this badge.

Finally, and the biggest problem with this badge. It's just that the communication distance of this thing is very short.

The game system currently places great restrictions on the communication modes commonly used in traditional games, which are the familiar guild channels, team channels, friend calls and the like.

"Zero" currently uses letters instead of instant messaging to communicate between friends. You can send text, voice or even video messages to your friends, but the process will be very slow. Depending on the actual distance between the two, the transmission time of a message may exceed ten hours. Although the maximum limit is only twelve hours, after all, this speed of communication is too slow. Unless it's a message. Basically no one will use this thing.

As for the guild channel and team channel...these things were also severely weakened in "Zero". Currently, the guild channels in the game are defined based on the guild level of each guild. The higher the guild level, the greater the transmission distance, and vice versa. Our guild's level is currently the best in the world, but the communication distance of the guild channel is actually only about 8,500 meters. The communication distance of other guilds is usually between 500 and 5,000 meters. Except for those used on the battlefield, Issuing large-scale commands has basically no other use. After all, guild channels will not be divided. That is to say, the entire guild has only one channel. No matter who speaks in the channel, all members of the guild within the nearby coverage area will hear the communication content. It would be okay if the guild leader alone issued orders on the battlefield, but if everyone talked inside together, then basically no one would listen to anything.

Not to mention the final team channel. The transmission distance of this thing is determined by the number of people in the team and the average overall combat effectiveness of the team members. Basically, after ordinary players form a team, the communication distance of the team channel will not exceed 150 meters. The more advanced teams are only about 200 meters long. Even for the elite hunting teams in our guild, the communication distance within the team is only three hundred meters. Of course, once before I formed a team with Christina, True Red, and Gold Coin, and the communication distance reached more than 780 meters, but we are basically the strongest team that can be formed on the combat power list. , so it can be seen that the team channel can really only be used to shout out when the team is fighting.

Precisely because the system severely suppresses various traditional communication channels for players, everyone is trying to find ways to develop their own remote communication methods. The more advanced ones develop their own communication equipment like our guild, while the weaker ones simply use the traditional method - flying pigeons to pass messages. Anyway, there are not many small flying monsters in the game, and there are many that can be trained to deliver messages. Except for the slightly slower delivery time, everything else is acceptable.

I have seen the badge of Nobunaga with Ghost Hands before. It seems to have been invented by a small guild in a small country. Unfortunately, the production technology has spread without knowing how, and there is no patent in the game. It is protected by law, so even guilds with certain production capabilities have quickly mastered the production method of this thing. But because this thing has many shortcomings, everyone only uses it occasionally, and not many guilds actually use it as a battlefield command tool.

Seeing Nobunaga on the other side muttering something to someone, I wanted to go over and interrupt his conversation, but the guy from Qiye Huihun actually tried his best to interfere with me. Moreover, two Russian players ran over from the other side to cooperate with the Seven Nights Resurrection, which made it really difficult for me to rush through for a while. In desperation, I wanted to summon the magic pets on the outside that were blocking ordinary players to come back to help. As a result, before I could do anything, I heard the communicator ringing in my ear.

"Hey boss, guess who shot down our spaceship just now?" The voice that appeared in the communication was Matsumoto Masaru's congratulations, and it sounded like the kid was quite excited.

Because I wanted to talk to Masamoto Matsumoto, I postponed the idea of ​​rushing over to cause trouble, and first struggled with the Seven Nights Resurrection and the two Russian players who had just come to support. At the same time, he congratulated Matsumoto and said, "Is he the Gunslinger?"

"How did you know?" Masamoto Matsumoto was obviously shocked by me, because he had no idea how I guessed it.

I deliberately teased Masamoto Matsumoto and said, "You didn't tell me yourself."

Masamoto Matsumoto thought about what he just said in confusion. Then he asked me in confusion: "When did I say I was a gun master?"

"You want me to guess 'who' rather than 'what' shot down the Frost Rose. That means the Frost Rose was shot down by someone rather than some large weapon. Currently, the game has such high damage Output, and someone who can fire from such a distance, after thinking about it, it seems that there is only one gun master, right?"

After my analysis, Masamoto Matsumoto had to admit that it was really him who told me that it was the Gunslinger. After all, when it comes to equipment, any kind of equipment is possible, but when it comes to players... than the Gunslinger Although there are many powerful players, the only one who can sink the Frost Rose in one blow is probably the Gunslinger.

"The boss is indeed the boss." Masamoto Matsumoto flattered me first, and then asked: "Well. What should we do now? Do I need to interfere or force the gunman away? If necessary, The three of me, August Xun and the others will take action together, and it is not impossible to kill the Gunslinger."

"That's not necessary. The Gunslinger probably accepted the mercenary mission. As long as he doesn't get involved in our battlefield, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Damn it, boss, you have such a bad mouth!" As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Matsumoto Masaru shouting: "The Gunslinger just packed up and headed towards the battlefield."

When I heard this report, I was immediately stunned, and then I glanced at Ghost Hand Nobunaga. Found that the other party has now ended the call. Now it goes without saying that Nobunaga must have been contacting the Gunslinger just now to ask him to come over for reinforcements. As for why the talks took so long... I guess it's still a matter of price. Although there is a basic price in the employment agreement, there is a limitation, that is, if the employer knows that the difficulty of the task exceeds the normal level, the price of the task needs to be negotiated separately, otherwise the hired person may not perform his obligations. The system does not punish. When Ghost Hand Nobunaga hired the Gunslinger before, he definitely did not include the part of directly confronting us. Otherwise, I guess the Gunslinger would not have accepted this task from the beginning. As for now...according to the system rules, as long as Ghost Hand Nobunaga is willing to give a reasonable employment price, the Gunslinger cannot quit midway after accepting the previous mission, otherwise he will have to accept system punishment.

After the Gunslinger got up and left the ambush location and moved towards the battlefield, a Japanese player following Masamoto Matsumoto nervously asked Matsumoto Masa: "Matsumoto-kun, that guy is heading towards the battlefield. Do we want to Follow?"

Masamoto Matsumoto is having a hard time making a decision at this time, because even if he goes to the battlefield, he doesn't know who to help. Now the people from our Frost Rose Alliance count as one group, and the people in his hands count as one group, Ghost Hands Nobunaga and his gang are in trouble. The relationship between these three parties can be said to be complicated, and he himself is a little confused about what to do. On the surface, they should be doing nothing now, and it would be best to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. But the problem is that Matsumoto is congratulating them that they are our people, so this decision on the surface is obviously not in line with our actual interests, but if they openly come to help us from the Frost Rose Alliance, it conflicts with their apparent identity. , in this way, Masamoto Matsumoto didn’t know who to help!

"Let me think about it first!" Masamoto Matsumoto, who was a little confused, first comforted the men around him, and then secretly asked me what to do through the communicator.

I was scratching my head when I heard that the Gunslinger was coming directly towards us. I'm not afraid of the Gunslinger in a one-on-one fight. His ranking on the combat power list is not higher than mine. In actual battles, I can indeed suppress him. The most important thing is that I have many magic pets, once we are separated. His rifle cannot fully deal with it, and as long as any of my demon pets comes to his side, there is basically no suspense about victory or defeat. However, the above is a one-on-one situation. The Gunslinger's strongest ability is not due to one-on-one combat.

As a musketeer, the Gunslinger's tactics should be similar to those of an archer. In single-player battles, priority should be given to finding covert objects, and then long-range sniping. This can give full play to the high output and long range advantages of the musket. In multiplayer battles, the method used by the archers is to let the team's main tank go forward to fight the monsters. Then they fired cold arrows from behind to kill people. The tactics of musketeers and archers are similar, that is, they also adopt a second-line position. As long as someone is blocking the enemy in front, they can pour out firepower as much as they want.

The Gunslinger can now be said to be the strongest musketeer in the game, bar none. In front of me, Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and Seven Nights Resurrection, two Russian players I didn't know. The four of them looked at me hard, and their magic pets were on the outside to block those Ghost-Hand Nobunaga's men. I was the only one who couldn't rush through it. Do not break the defense line of four people. Although it seems that I still have a slight upper hand, once the gun god joins the battle. Being trapped here, I can only be used as a living target, and with the damage output of the Gun God, even I can only withstand three or five shots at most, and then various negative situations will occur.

Although it is very tangled, the decision must be made. We can't let Matsumoto Masaru wait like this, can we? In desperation, I can only temporarily let Matsumoto Masa and the others move to the vicinity of the battlefield and then decide based on the situation. Of course, after receiving the order, Masamoto Matsumoto immediately moved his men to the battlefield. However, unlike Masamoto Matsumoto, most of his people thought they were here to reap the benefits. After all, except for Masa Matsumoto and a few spy players I arranged for him, most of Masa Matsumoto's people are pure Japanese players. They don't know that Masa Matsumoto is a member of our Frost Rose Alliance. In this case, of course, these people hope that the fight between us and Ghost-handed Nobunaga will be as fierce as possible. It is best to kill all the people on both sides, and they will come out to pick up what is ready.

Although the beam that previously attacked the Frost Rose came from quite far away. But that far is mainly for attack distance. A range of seven or eight kilometers is definitely considered a super long-range attack, but in fact, for ground movement, this distance is nothing at all. Although the Gunslinger carefully concealed his position while moving, he quickly arrived near the battlefield. As for Matsumoto Masaru and his team, they followed the Gunslinger and arrived almost at the same time.

After the two groups of people arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, they had different reactions. Masamoto Matsumoto's men immediately dispersed and hid, while the Gunslinger was still approaching the battlefield cautiously. When Masahiro Matsumoto saw the Gunslinger moving forward, he ordered a deputy next to him whom I assigned to temporarily lead the team and wait here. Then he, August Kaoru and the three of them carefully followed the Gunslinger little by little. Move closer to the battlefield.

soon. The Gunslinger finally crawled to a large rock on the edge of the battlefield. Behind the rock were two players who were fighting. It could be said that this was already a battlefield. However, the Gunslinger did not intend to sneak attack any of the two nearby players. His target is me, because I am the only one here worthy of his first attack on the battlefield. After all, he is still in hiding, so his first shot is basically certain that no one can dodge it. Once he fires a shot, everyone will notice him, and if he wants to attack others, he will change his mind. It's a lot more difficult. After all, it's better to fight someone if they are prepared than if they don't know.

Although the Gunslinger sneaked into this place, he didn't know that Matsumoto Masaga and August Kaoru were actually less than ten meters behind him. Seeing the Gunslinger carefully opening the gun frame and starting to take aim, Masamoto Matsumoto immediately reminded me in a low voice on the communicator: "Boss, pay attention, the Gunslinger has started to aim at you. He is now in your one o'clock direction, five miles away. The side of the big rock about ten meters away. I was behind another rock about seven or eight meters behind him."

"Good job, keep watching. I've seen the barrel of his gun."

Normally, on a battlefield like this, the Gunslinger's barrel hidden in the grass would be almost impossible to detect. After all, he was still wearing a camouflage, and the barrel of the gun itself did not poke out of the grass. Only traces of the muzzle could be vaguely seen through the gaps in the grass. However, under normal circumstances, no one would keep staring at the gaps in the grass. If Masamoto Matsumoto hadn't informed me of the Gunslinger's location in advance, I definitely wouldn't have been able to see him. But now that I know the location, I can find the target if I want to. Much simpler.

I carefully adjusted the positions of Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and the others, deliberately letting Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and Seven Nights Resurrection stand between me and the Gunslinger, so that he could not find the chance to fire. At the same time, he opened spiritual contact and directly Connect the hearts of Rose Vine and Yeyue. "Yeyue, the Gun God is here, you go over to sneak attack him from behind. Pay attention to Matsumoto Masaga and August Kaoru, they are behind the rock behind the Gun God, don't accidentally hurt them. The rose vine passes under the ground and launches it in Ye Yue Before the surprise attack, attack the Gunslinger first to attract his attention. Yeyue, take the opportunity to strike."

"clear."

"Hmph, a sniper whose position is exposed is just a living target." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
