Chapter 269: Brutal Fighting
It is actually not uncommon to see shield walls in large-scale battles. Although it is impossible for players to completely replicate things in reality in the game, there are still many things that can be replicated. The shield wall itself has no technical content. It is nothing more than a large iron plate with a handle and a strongman standing behind it. There is really nothing complicated about it.
Because of its simplicity, players from various countries basically have their own shield formation experience, among which Russian players use it the most. It's not because Russian players like shields, but because the initial strength points of Russian players are a bit higher than those of players from other countries. That's right, just a little higher.
"Zero" actually has many hidden settings, one of which was not discovered until after the game was in operation for a long time - the initial attributes of players from different countries do not grow at the same rate.
This so-called initial attribute growth refers to the attribute growth obtained by players in the first twenty levels, that is, during the activity period in Novice Village.
The growth of attributes in most countries is basically similar, but some countries will have special biases. For example, players in Russia will increase their strength attributes very quickly, while players in France and Germany will increase their intelligence very quickly. Anyway, all countries have different attributes. Have your own preference.
Because the strength of Russian players is higher than that of players from other surrounding countries, for them, heavy weapons are a more suitable choice. Although the shield cannot be completely regarded as a weapon, this thing is handheld after all and is defaulted in the game system. In fact, it counts as a weapon, but its properties are slightly more special.
It is precisely because Russian players use shield formations a lot. Therefore, the Russian guild presidents who rushed to me did not show any panic when facing the row of shield walls in front of them. Precisely because there are more players using shields in their guilds, these Russian guild presidents also know how to destroy shield walls. After all, they can accumulate some experience after seeing many things.
Initially, the Russian guild presidents didn't pay much attention when they saw the shield wall. However, when they actually hit the shield wall, they finally discovered the difference. Originally, they thought that although they would be blocked when they hit the shield wall, the people behind them could rely on their impact to continue hitting the shield, and then push it down, or at least knock it aside, so that they could use the opponent's shield. The gap in the wall killed the people behind. This is a standard fighting method summarized by Russian guild leaders. They have been used many times in the country. It has also proven to be very useful. However, this tried and tested method suddenly failed here.
Russian players are indeed more powerful than players from other countries, but they are still just players, and their power has not yet left the category of players. but. The person behind the shield wall in front of me is not a player. They are mobile angels. They are a group of constructed creatures that are not tired and have amazing strength.
Precisely because these mobile angels are so powerful, when the Russian guild presidents hit this row of shield walls with the force of their charge, they felt as if they had hit a real city wall. There is absolutely no way to shake this wall.
After the Russian guild presidents in the first row were blocked, the Russian guild presidents in the second row immediately bumped into them again, and then tried to push the people in front to push down the city wall together, but the result was still the same, they could not let the city wall There was the slightest shaking.
The Russian guild presidents in the third and fourth rows at the back rushed behind the Russian guild presidents who were crowded in front of the shield. However, even if so many people pushed up together, they still could not deal with it. The steel city wall has no impact, and it still stands there as it was before.
The Russian guild presidents who were still contemptuous at first finally realized the big problem at this time, because they all led troops to fight and were very familiar with the battle formations. Once the charging legion failed to charge, They have seen the consequences of opening the opponent's shield wall more than once on the battlefield.
Just when the Russian guild presidents had just reacted, the shield wall in front suddenly moved. As if it were a whole, the entire shield wall suddenly pushed forward at the same time, and then the shield surface rose, throwing up the row of Russian guild presidents who were attached to the shield at the front, and followed the shield wall. Leaning sideways, a row of spears suddenly emerged from behind the shield, instantly opening at least five or six bloody holes in the bodies of these Russian guild presidents. However, before these Russian guild leaders could react what to do next, the shield closed again, and then continued to move forward to press them back. Then when they lost their balance again, they immediately tilted the shield to make way for the gap, and then speared Poke out.
In fact, the combat method used by Mobile Angels is not complicated. All each Mobile Angel has to do is to take a step forward - raise the shield - push - turn the shield - assassinate - retract the gun - turn the shield back - and then Take a step forward and repeat like this.
If a player or NPC performs such a task, a commander will be needed next to him, and he will keep shouting: "Push, assassinate, move forward, push, assassinate, move forward." However, because of the shield formation this time It's supported by Exciting Angels. These guys are just like robots, so they don't need any slogans to unify the pace. They can be unified directly.
Although this method of propulsion seems simple and can be learned by everyone, you must know that it actually contains quite complicated things. Although this series of actions is very simple, it is not that simple for the entire team to unify the steps. As long as anyone in the team moves a step slower, the entire formation will be messed up, and if the enemy catches this If the loophole breaks through the shield wall, it will be even worse. The shield wall is invincible only when it becomes a whole. Once one of its points is penetrated, it is meaningless.
The Russian guild presidents on the opposite side were also quite surprised when they saw the uniform movements on our side, because in their panic, they did not notice that behind the shield wall was actually a mobile angel. I thought this was an NPC troop. When they think about it, an NPC team with such strength is definitely a terrifying team.
Although the Mobile Angels were not as strong as they imagined, the Mobile Angels unit in front of them still showed quite high lethality, and soon caused heavy casualties to the Russian guild presidents, even in During the retreat, the team of Russian guild presidents had begun to merge with the teams of Russian players and Paladin League players behind them.
"Are you kidding me?" Seeing that their own team was actually blocked by a shield wall, a few people with relatively high status among Russian guild presidents couldn't help but frowned and said, "It seems that this time the Frost Rose Alliance Now that we have taken out everything from the bottom of the box, shouldn’t it be time for us to reveal Xue’s hidden secrets?”
One of the Russian guild presidents smiled and said: "The Frozen Banshee has even taken out the essence of snow, what else can't be used? I think now is the time."
The remaining Russian guild presidents nodded after hearing what this guy said, and then said in unison: "Then use it."
Just after these people made up their minds, one of the Russian guild presidents immediately took out a fireworks launcher on his body. Pull toward the sky. With a sharp whistle, a red luminous flare shot straight into the sky. On the Russian warships behind, suddenly the stern hatches of several ships opened.
Speaking of which, we had never noticed before that there was actually something like a helicopter platform installed on the tail deck of these Russian warships, and there was a structure similar to a helicopter hangar in front of that platform. but. There is actually no such thing as a helicopter in the game. Although some guilds have aircraft that can take off vertically. There are also some guilds that have monsters that can take off on the spot. But those weren't helicopters. So preparing a helicopter hangar on a battleship is obviously a very strange behavior.
However, the Russian warships are equipped with this kind of thing, and the thing inside is obviously quite large. Because the hangar is larger than expected. However, because these things were cleverly concealed by the outer structure of the battleship, without knowing the information about these things in advance, we never noticed that the rear of the Russian warship was actually equipped with such a strange weapon. structure.
As the signal flare took off, the warehouses on the Russian warship opened one after another, and then the helicopter platform-like place at the rear of the warship opened directly, and then a pair of mechanical arms rose from inside. These two robotic arms are not the high-tech robotic arms that everyone imagines. In fact, these two things are similar to the telescopic arms of an excavator. The structure is very simple, and they seem to be made in a hurry. They only have a frame, not even a shell, and various pipes and other things are directly exposed to the air.
The two robotic arms are not empty, but each hold a regular box-like structure. However, because this thing is closed, it is impossible to tell what is contained inside.
As the huge box rose, the things in the hangar in front finally came out. No, it shouldn't be used. In other words, it would be more appropriate to open it.
What is located in the hangar is not an airplane, but a monster. Yes, a monster, a steel monster.
This is a mechanical beast that looks like an imitation of a big cat, but I don’t know exactly what it looks like. Anyway, I feel like it’s not wrong to say it’s a lioness or a cheetah.
In addition to the appearance of a large cat, this mechanical beast also has a very special feature. It has two pylons on its back, and the box held by the two mechanical arms looks like it is for this thing. prepare.
Sure enough, the mechanical beast jumped onto the platform between the two robotic arms immediately after it appeared. Then the two robotic arms immediately descended and accurately hung the two boxes on the two back sides of the big cat's body. side position.
The mounted big cat jumped directly from the battleship, then turned around and ran towards the Essinger Twin Cities. Although they are mechanical bodies, the shock absorption system of these guys is obviously quite advanced. For such a big body, it looks longer than a rhinoceros and weighs at least a ton. As a result, it turns out that it runs quite nimble and is not only extremely fast. , and not much noise.
After the first mechanical beast started flying, similar things jumped off the battleships behind it one after another, and there was not only one on each ship. Instead, he carried five. Fortunately, not all battleships carry such mechanical beasts, and only a small number of them carry mechanical beasts. Finally, when all these mechanical beasts came down, we calculated that the total number was fifty-five, which means that eleven battleships carried this kind of mechanical beasts.
The elongation of these guys is more than four meters, and they run very fast. The span of each step is more than six meters. Their full sprint speed exceeds 200 kilometers per hour. It is no exaggeration to describe them as lightning fast.
It only took a short time for these guys to rush to the gap in our city wall, then jump directly onto the wreckage of the battleship, and then step into the passage.
When I saw this thing landing, I was a little stunned, because before, only our guild had been equipped with large-scale constructed creatures. The mechanical beasts in front of them are obviously constructed creatures. At least they are mechanical life forms, so the origins of these things are quite strange.
The Russians' technology is actually very good, but we just robbed their technology laboratory before, and although we also found some research on constructed organisms in it. But most of the targets are just to copy our mobile Angels. There is no obvious mechanical beast design. certainly. We did encounter some mechanical dinosaur-like things during the invasion before, but the structures of those things were too complex and difficult to produce. It can only be regarded as a technical verification or experimental product. However, what we see in front of us is obviously a mature and replicable assembly line product, which is really serious.
For individuals, it is definitely more cost-effective to obtain a laboratory trial product than to obtain an assembly line product, because the laboratory trial product is to verify technology, so no expense is spared in terms of materials and workmanship. Therefore, the trial products coming out of the laboratory are usually of better quality than the mass products coming off the assembly line. After all, mass products coming off the assembly line often sacrifice part of their performance based on actual construction difficulty requirements and cost control reasons. Naturally, neither performance nor quality can be compared with laboratory products.
However, this kind of thing is actually only a good thing for individuals, because as an individual, having one is enough. Getting a better quality product is of course what everyone wants. However, for an organization, mass-produced products are actually the most precious, because once something can be mass-produced, it means that you can manufacture it in large quantities, thus overwhelming your opponents with cost-effectiveness. No matter how good the quality of laboratory products is, they can only produce one or two, so what is the use?
Therefore, these mechanical beasts in front of us are far more valuable than the mechanical dinosaurs we discovered from the Russians.
After these mechanical beasts appeared in the passage, they only paused for a moment before starting up again. They actually didn't even care about their own people and ran directly through the crowd, trampling to death countless people along the way, but they were completely There was no reaction, as if the ant had just been trampled to death.
Although many of their own people were trampled to death, the reckless charging method of these mechanical beasts was indeed very fast, and they quickly rushed to the location where the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger were trapped. However, after arriving here, these mechanical beasts did not directly start to help the Frozen Banshee and Gunslinger. Instead, they rushed past and then rushed towards the Russian guild presidents in front.
What surprised me was that these mechanical beasts showed no reaction when they rushed past me. They just rushed past me, as if nothing could interest them before they reached the Russian guild presidents. Same.
Although these mechanical beasts do not regard me as a target, it does not mean that I will let them go. This is the territory of our Frost Rose Alliance. Of course, there will be a price to pay for invading our city.
Looking at the last mechanical beast running past, I suddenly moved sideways without warning, then raised my hand and swept across it with a sword. With a bang, I finally cut off one of the hind legs of the mechanical beast. The sharpness of Eternity is unparalleled. The mechanical beast is obviously just made of ordinary alloy. To me, Eternity is like tofu and breaks everything.
After lightly cutting open the guy's hind legs, the mechanical beast immediately lost its balance and fell into the crowd. As a result, another group of people fell on their backs, injuring many Russian guild presidents and their subordinates. However, The mechanical beast seemed to be completely unable to distinguish between friend and foe. It struggled on the ground and actually killed several more Russian guild presidents. What's even more terrifying is that after this guy fell to the ground, he started biting things randomly, and that's how a few unlucky guys around him died.
Looking at the mechanical beast with some experience, I suddenly understood why these mechanical beasts appeared now. These mechanical beasts are obviously not new weapons, but rather experimental products that have not been fully developed. Although it was forcibly mass-produced, the flaws of this thing are actually very obvious. The biggest problem is intelligence.
When these things ran over before, they trampled many of our own people to death. If this kind of behavior of not distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy can be understood as sacrificing the interests of some players for the sake of victory, then after falling down and biting indiscriminately resulting in the death of our own personnel, this It's obviously a technical defect.
Based on the behavior of the thing, I guessed that it was biting because its leg was broken, and this injury made it think it was being attacked. So a counterattack strategy was launched. There is actually nothing wrong with this part. What's wrong is the following part. After the guy launched a counterattack, he didn't correctly judge the cause of his injury. He actually started to attack everything around him within the range of his attack indiscriminately. As a result, he didn't bite our people, but bit their own people. Several died.
Although this thing obviously has something wrong with his brain. But the mechanical structure of the body is pretty good. After that guy killed a few of his own people, the people around him began to move around him. And this guy got up from the ground after realizing that there was no target. But because half of his leg is missing, he walks very unsteadily. However, it soon became secure. Because I rushed over and cut off its other hind leg. After both legs became the same length, although this guy's speed dropped significantly, he could at least move normally. But I won't let this guy continue to exist.
Jumping on the back of the thing, I cut a slit in the box on the guy with a sword, and then used an eternal twist to tear the thing apart.
Without the outer box, I could immediately see what was inside the box. However, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. "Holy shit!" I quickly pressed the communicator with one hand to talk, but unexpectedly there was a burst of sound behind my head. I quickly lowered my head, and then I saw a leg sweeping over my head, but I didn't I flinched, and when the leg swept over my head, I stood up suddenly, dragged the leg upwards, and then picked up the guy who wanted to kick me, and then hugged her legs with both hands. , rushing back with her.
At this time, I actually saw that the person who attacked me was the Frozen Banshee, and my action was quite provocative. Because one of the opponent's legs was carried on my shoulder, when I fell forward, she had to fall backwards, but after her body landed on the ground, my body continued to press her legs upward. Moving closer, the Frozen Banshee fell to the ground in the posture of a horse, with one leg close to her head, but the other leg was still in a straight line with the divine body.
This awkward posture is not a good thing for female players, but the Frozen Banshee didn't care about it. Instead, she turned her hands over, took out the two ice daggers on her waist, and thrust them into my ears.
After feeling her movement, I quickly rolled her on the ground, using the impact of the ground to force her to give up the dagger in her hand. After rolling out in a circle, I hit the ground and bounced up, still changing in the air. After completing the account switch, she hit the ground hard with the staff in her hand after landing, and a red flame ring instantly rippled out. The Frozen Banshee supported the ground and fell back, but she was still hit in the chest. As if being splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, his body immediately made a hissing sound, and white smoke was emitting from his body.
"Zero Impact." The Frozen Banshee is not someone to be trifled with. She used her skills on me on the battlefield as soon as she was hit.
This move of hers is also quite awesome. She actually used the power of the skill to stand up. Not only did she save herself the time to get up, but she also activated the skill at the same time.
Zero Impact is similar to the skill I just used. The difference is that it is an ice spell, which is exactly opposite to my fire spell. But I am different from her. When I used the skill, the Frozen Banshee was sitting on the ground. It was normal that she couldn't hide away. But I was standing on the ground. When I saw the blue halo of light sweeping over me, I immediately did a backhandspring, and the blue The circle of light just missed my chest and flew past me, almost touching me, but just a little bit.
"Damn it!" The Frozen Banshee cursed secretly, but quickly stopped caring. Because I have rushed forward again.
Although I don’t know if the frozen banshee in front of me is the true body, I at least know one thing, that is, regardless of whether she is the true body or not, as long as she joins the battles of other groups, she will destroy our encirclement. Because those players in the hunting team can barely trap the Frozen Banshee. If the Frozen Banshee suddenly goes to help other clones of the Frozen Banshee, then the hunting team will definitely be doomed. And once all the frozen banshees escape, we will be in big trouble here.
Just because I thought of those things, I understood that I must not let the frozen banshee in front of me run out to help other frozen banshee. It was also thanks to this frozen banshee that I didn't rescue the other frozen banshee immediately. Instead, he came to trouble me. Otherwise our defense line will be in danger.
This frozen banshee didn't expect my offensive to be so coherent. Seeing them approaching at high speed, I immediately regretted it. I thought I should have rescued the other clones first, but now it was too late to think about anything. She raised the Xuan Bing Sword in her hand and collided with me again.
At this time, I was still in the form of a mage. When the staff in my hand collided with her Xuanbing sword, a large amount of white mist immediately shot out. This is the result of the ice layer on the Black Ice Sword being baked by the heat on my Sun Rod. certainly. If it were an ordinary ice cube, it would probably disappear immediately.
Although this Black Ice Sword can withstand the frontal impact of my Sun Staff. But we all know that if this continues, it will definitely be the Frozen Banshee's sword that suffers, not my staff. However, the Frozen Banshee didn't intend to hold me still with a sword. Instead, after exerting all his strength for a while, he suddenly pulled back, then slammed his foot on the ground, sending out a shock wave that instantly pushed me out.
Advanced players with this kind of field control skill will prepare at least seven or eight types, including types suitable for various environments. After all, masters sometimes make mistakes. Is there a time when a horse stumbles? Therefore, several necessary field control skills are necessary. Especially this kind of skill that can push the enemy away, which will buy you time to adjust the rhythm of the battle.
After being pushed away, I immediately pounced on him again, but this time it was different from before. I was changing color as I ran. The originally golden and white mage's robe gradually turned black as he ran, and then the shape of the armor also changed. Although the Frozen Banshee noticed my changes, she did not dare to change her previous skill preparations, because the opportunity she had so easily obtained could not be missed.
Just when I finished my transformation and rushed in front of her again, the Frozen Banshee suddenly thrust the Xuanbing Sword in her hand into her stomach. I must admit, I had never thought of this move before, and its effect is quite amazing.
The frozen banshee that he stabbed himself through with his sword did not die. Instead, a white shock wave exploded from her body in an instant. This shock wave was mixed with a large number of ice particles, and the speed was very fast. It spread instantly like a shock wave from an explosion. I was so close, and I had charged towards her before. Naturally, I couldn't avoid it, and was immediately wrapped in it. As the shock wave spread, everyone who was touched, whether they were enemies or one of our own, all turned into There are white ice sculptures.
Most people were shocked by this terrifying skill effect, but the Frozen Banshee herself was the most panicked, because just after the opaque storm band on the outer layer of the shock wave spread out, she actually found a person appearing in front of her. A transparent ball of light, and although this ball of light was wrapped in a layer of ice, the ice cracked directly as soon as the shock wave passed. Then the Frozen Banshee was horrified to find a sword blade coming out of the ice. He pierced it out, then directly pierced her chest with a sword and raised it instantly, splitting half of her upper body, neck, and head into two evenly from the middle. If she could still survive, then It can be called immortal.
In fact, the skill used by the Frozen Banshee before did not actually insert the Xuan Bing Sword into her stomach. Although she stabbed herself with the sword, the moment the Xuan Bing Sword's blade came into contact with her own belly, It began to break apart, and the white mist-like substance that spread out was the body of the Xuan Bing Sword.
Of course, this move is not a skill produced by a self-destructive weapon. In fact, the real body of the Frozen Banshee's Black Ice Sword is the hilt, and the front blade is actually just ice, but the temperature is very low. The skill just now just exploded the sword blade made of ice. As long as the skill ends, an identical blade will soon grow on the hilt. The only cost of this skill to the Xuan Bing Sword is that the sword cannot be used within half an hour, because it takes time for the blade to re-condensate.
Although the Frozen Banshee was killed by me. But I didn't completely relax. After all, there were five frozen banshees and three gun gods ahead of me! Of course, they are all trapped now, and they may not be able to come out anytime soon.
There is no need to worry about the previous problems for the time being. I looked back at the battle formation at the rear. As a result, I happened to see the mechanical beasts rushing towards our shield formation at this time.
These mechanical beasts are very big, and our mobile angels are also not small, but the inertial kinetic energy generated by the running speed of these guys is too great, so when they hit our shield formation, those mobile angels finally It's because he didn't fully withstand the pressure. Was forced to take a step back.
It would be nothing if it just caused the shield formation to retreat. The key is that after these mechanical beasts knocked back the shield array, they grabbed the shield and jumped up. They jumped over the shield wall and jumped behind the shield.
As soon as the Mobile Angel saw the mechanical beast falling from the sky, he immediately gave up the spear in his hand and used his long sword to fight. As a result, the mechanical beast threw him to the ground before he could take out the sword.
As the mobile Angel was knocked down. A gap finally appeared in the shield wall. Then more mechanical beasts poured in. The mobile angels were thrown to the ground one after another. The Russian guild presidents behind them became excited and rushed over with howls. Then he began to desperately kill the surrounding personnel. No, it should be said that he was killing the Japanese guild presidents around him.
Don't think that only the Russians know how to gather and use powerful and well-equipped guild leaders. We can do it too. Of course, our Frost Rose Alliance only has one guild, and I am the only president, so we cannot concentrate. However, although I am not good at it, there are many Japanese guilds in Matsumoto Masaru's area. There are hundreds of these Japanese guild presidents, and when gathered here, they are indeed a good force.
Of course, this battle is to enhance the recognition of us by the Japanese guild presidents, not to trick them into being cannon fodder, so our guild also appropriately recruits some senior players to join. But this time we are not acting, our troops are really empty, so there are not many people who can be recruited, and the main force is still the Japanese guild presidents.
Originally blocked by the row of mobile angels in front, these Japanese guild presidents thought that the battle would be simple and remain like this until the end. What they didn't expect was that the Russian guild presidents were so fierce. In less than ten minutes, It broke through the shield wall. However, although these Russian guild presidents are very fierce, the Japanese guild presidents are not bad either.
If you want to ask which country in the world has the most dedicated troops in fighting, it is definitely Japan. The Japanese bushido spirit is actually very similar to religious brainwashing. Compared with an army of normal people and a group of madmen who have been brainwashed by religion, of course the madmen are braver because they have no idea what fear is.
Of course, not many modern Japanese players still remember the spirit of Bushido back then, but things like ethos are not easy to change. Japan has such a culture, and even in modern times there are many people who have this sense of bushido, so Japanese players actually fight very hard. If it weren't for command issues and the fact that our neighboring country happened to be as powerful as China, they could have swept across Asia.
The Russian guild presidents are all tall and tall, looking like polar bears, while the Japanese guild presidents are on average about 1.65 meters tall, which is much taller than the Russian guild presidents. Half, but what surprised the Russian guild presidents was that the combat effectiveness of these Japanese guild presidents was not weaker than them at all. On the contrary, because of their extremely crazy will to fight, they actually destroyed the somewhat crazy Russian guilds after the shield wall collapsed. The elders were forcefully forced to stop. Although the Japanese guild leaders did not have a shield wall like the Mobile Angels, they used their bodies and weapons to create a living wall.
Of course, this violent lethality is exchanged for extremely high battle losses. Although the Japanese Bushido spirit made their army highly impactful, the national custom of being unsustainable and lacking in endurance seems to have been inherited. Seeing that the defense line formed by the Japanese guild presidents was getting thinner and thinner, our rear commanders also began to make some adjustments to prevent the front from collapsing.
"Heavy armored beasts prepare!" Our commanders standing behind the defense line composed of Japanese guild presidents shouted loudly, but the response was a roar of beasts. (To be continued...)
