Chapter 21 Bombing
Just as the mages broke their silence, the scouts who were exploring the way in front discovered a new situation and sent out a signal to discover a large group of monsters. Soon, a soldier rushed back and reported to the captain: "Captain, the brothers in front discovered a group of snow deer, which was relatively large, with about fifty heads."
After listening to the report, the captain's face suddenly became solemn, and he nodded gently and said, "Okay! Observe carefully, let the soldiers be careful, don't disturb those monsters, you go and take it first." "Yes, sir." The soldier helped the strong bow on his waist, responded firmly to the captain's order, and quickly fucked forward and informed the newly issued order.
Since the monster that appeared this time was Xue Lu, a first-level monster that could release attack spells, it posed a great threat to ordinary soldiers. Only those melee professionals who had erupted in fighting spirit would not care about these low-level monsters. The captain felt a little tricky for a moment. After hesitating, he explained the situation to Shaoke with a firm look on his face, and hoped that the mages could take full advantage of their efforts, take the initiative to attack and destroy these monsters.
"Master Xueye, I wonder if you want the other two mages to confront these monsters that can actively release spells? I believe that with your help, they will not make any mistakes. Moreover, the other two mages also need such experience. After all, they will have to face this situation alone in the future. Moreover, as long as the soldiers cheer up and be careful, the threat of these snow deer is not that great." The team looked at Shaoke for a long time and hoped to get his support. After all, if two new mages lead the team alone to encounter such monsters that can actively release spells, if they do not have the experience of fighting with them, it is unlikely that there will be casualties.
Yes! The threat of this group of monsters is not great. As a mage, Shaoke also knows the specific situation of these snow deer. They can release the first-level "ice magic" at most at a time. After releasing the spell, it takes a long time to recover to release the second spell. It can be released up to three times a day. Moreover, the attack of the "ice magic" is only a single attack, and its power is not too great, and it is mainly good penetration. In addition, the snow deer's melee ability is very poor. A soldier can easily deal with two to three snow deer. As long as he can avoid the spell attacks of these snow deer, everything will be simple.
According to the experience summarized by Shaoke and others, there are at most dozen or twenty snow deer groups like this that can release spells. The rest are not that they cannot release spells, but that they can easily release spells. Not only, the mental power of these low-level monsters is too low to manipulate already formed spells, and some evasion or mental locks are made in such places. Moreover, their spell distance is about half of the distance between the mages and cannot threaten the mages behind them.
In view of this situation, Shaoke agreed to his decision with a firm expression on the captain. Seeing the captain considering these two first-time mages, thinking about what happened just now, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness: perhaps it was for the soldiers at the bottom, or perhaps for the proud mages. Shaoke didn't think about these things anymore, because the more I thought about it, the more annoying it would be.
After listening to the decision of Shaoko and the captain, Mage Kiya and Iga became a little nervous again. After all, they did not really fight with the monsters who could release attack spells. This is different from the previous second time and those mud pigs who could only release some protective spells. This time, they didn't know whether those spells would pass through the heavy covers and wear them on them? Fortunately, after the second actual combat, their psychological quality became much stronger, but they still looked at Shaoko and wanted to get some guidance. It seemed that they had long forgotten the unhappiness just now, just like the guidance of the previous mages.
Seeing this, Shaoke could not let it go. After all, no matter how unhappy he was, he could not let these mages get in a hurry! He didn't want their magic to deviate from the track and hit his own people. Moreover, this was in the army and carrying out missions! ‘Just treat it as training two dogs.’ Shaoke viciously thought that he was not an enemy. He said that this could reduce the possibility of the poor soldiers being injured.
"Master Kia, Mage Iga, when you attack later, you should give priority to attacking those with antlers. The larger the antlers, the greater the power of the spells. Those without horns cannot release spells, so don't worry about them." Shaoke gave the two mages some tips, and hoped that they could complete this mission well on this basis.
After the crowd slowly met with the scouts in front, they stayed outside their cordons. Through the gaps between trees, white spotted snow deer jumped from time to time, and occasionally arched the snow on the ground to find some food! Although they were not here to enjoy the scenery, it did not prevent the soldiers from liking these beautiful things. However, after Shaoko had acted with these soldiers many times, he found that these soldiers were not appreciating these beautiful snow deer, and they were now full of bright gold coins.
When the captain saw that the soldiers were all in place, he gestured to Shaoko and the others to start attacking.
Amid the brief whispers, Shaoke skillfully released a first-level spell "spider web" with a first-level spell. This spell is not too many range attack spells in the first-level spell system. It is suitable for most environments and enemies. Moreover, its consumption is relatively minimal and its attack range is the largest.
The spells the size of a fist form a white ball in front of the body. Under the guidance of the mage's mental power, they quickly bypassed some obstacles, flew above the set target, and quickly exploded, spreading into a spider web of five meters size.
Due to the barrier of surrounding trees, the spider web could not be fully unfolded. It only formed an irregular small net. However, it also successfully blocked five snow deer that could release spells, and two ordinary snow deer stuck to the edge. The snow deer that was trapped by the net struggled in horror. After discovering that these spider webs that could not be pulled off, they randomly released their spells, hoping to break through these hateful traps. Facts proved that these pitiful behaviors were ineffective. Apart from killing one companion by chance, these poor guys did not successfully escape, but the spider web was also washed away by several big holes. Fortunately, they could not rush out for a while, and waiting for their fate. It is also conceivable.
After being attacked suddenly, the deer herd, under the leadership of the leader, fled frantically in the direction they thought were safe. Perhaps it was the misfortune of this escape team and the luck of the hunters. Their actions reduced the soldiers many unnecessary troubles, because the deer shed was fleeing in the direction surrounded by the soldiers.
Javelin, axe, bow, arrow, short spear, for a moment, various weapons that could conduct long-distance attacks were thrown at the oncoming prey at the fastest speed. After paying for the casualties of seven or eight companions in the wrong direction of escape, the deer released their talented spells madly in the direction of attack. More than a dozen white crystals flew over like the soldiers. After doing all this, the deer quickly turned the direction and planned to escape in another place.
Just so happened that the spells of Mage Iga and Mage Kia were also ready. Their spells successfully made these simple-minded monsters even more difficult to figure out which direction the enemy came. After leaving behind the bodies of two companions again, the deer collapsed. They no longer obeyed the leader's leadership and began to flee in scattered areas.
At this time, Shaoko's second spell, "Fireball", was successfully released. This time, Shaoko chose to escape to the front of the deer without ambush. After killing one of their companions, he successfully made the deer escape in the direction where the ambush were rushed.
After avoiding the only attack of the deer herd, the soldiers quickly waved their weapons and began to cooperate with the mages to conduct long-range attacks, and prioritized the attacks of those preys that were planning to escape to the encirclement. The deer shed that released its spells had no mediocrity worth mentioning. After Shaoko stopped casting, the other two mages who had abandoned their nervousness slowly returned to their bodies and stopped the spell attack, allowing the soldiers to go up and slowly hunt the remaining prey.
The soldiers also put away long-range weapons at this time. After all, most of the weapons they threw were hit by trees, which did not cause much damage to the prey. They just wanted to deter the enemy. Now it was time for melee combat. The soldiers waved their swords and short axes, and roared towards the remaining deer. With strange screams, they surrounded the prey everywhere. Perhaps only in this way can the soldiers feel that they are a warrior, and they are needed on any kind of battlefield, instead of wielding those inferior javelins and short spears as they did just now, standing in the distance of the enemy to attack. Perhaps, perhaps these soldiers are looking for a kind of passionate feeling: a knife into the skin, an axe into the bones, a shield is like a city wall, and a body is like a pillar.
