"It's troublesome now. Our bows and arrows can't hit them." Vivian looked down at the trebuchet at the foot of the mountain and said calmly to Ryan: "They can eat away at our defense area bit by bit..."
"That's impossible." Ryan laughed immediately after hearing Vivian's words: "However, I suddenly discovered that your employment conditions of one gold coin per day are too low."
Vivian rolled her eyes at Ryan and said, "I remember there is another sentence at the end, every time you participate in a battle, you can share the spoils equally."
Ryan shook his head and said: "I am not a necromancer, and I have no interest in corpses."
Vivian was at a loss for words. She felt that Ryan had regarded the wolf-like Saranar family troops at the foot of the mountain as prey. She took a sneak look at Ryan's face and found that Ryan was not worried because Adela's army was approaching step by step. Any emotional fluctuations, it is obvious that Ryan did not take the 800-man army seriously, and from Ryan's tone, Vivian also felt Ryan's indifference, his indifference to the enemy's life and death. This kind of mentality can only be seen when he is around. It can only be found in veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles.
"Okay, let's make a deal." Ryan didn't seem to notice that Vivian was peeking at him. He said, "I'll help you deal with those three riprap trucks. All you have to do is..."
Vivian has no intention of even listening to the content of this transaction. Anyway, she can pay any price, including the entire Emilio family, including herself. As long as Ryan opens his mouth, Vivian will offer it with both hands without hesitation, so As soon as Ryan's words came out of his mouth, Vivian immediately agreed: "Deal."
Ryan didn't expect Vivian to be so decisive. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can barbecue."
Vivian's eyes flickered, she looked at Ryan playfully and said, "That's the only thing."
"Of course." Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said easily, "Maybe you thought I would put forward any conditions."
"But isn't this exchange condition too..." Vivian hesitated for a moment, but she still said: "What I have to do is just a trivial thing. Maybe it's just that my craftsmanship is more suitable for your taste." , and what you have to do..."
"Yes, roasting a large piece of fragrant meat is a trivial matter in your opinion." Ryan said: "But those bulky guys are just a trivial matter to me. I don't think so." I feel that I have suffered a loss, and for Ms. Adela at the foot of the mountain, I need to maintain the little dignity that the magician has."
"Okay, deal." Vivian agreed to the bet with Ryan. At the same time, she turned around and said to the guard behind her: "Didn't you hear me? I'm making a bet with others, so why don't you hurry up and prepare."
The guards standing next to Vivian certainly heard what Vivian and Ryan said clearly. Some of these guards saw Ryan's performance yesterday, but many people only heard a little bit about it, but no matter what No matter what, these guards don't think that Ryan can destroy the trebuchet at the foot of the mountain by himself, even if he is a magician,
As we all know, the most commonly used "fireball technique" by magicians has a range of only 20-30 meters, and a slightly farther one may be 50 meters. But even if you completely give up the power of the explosion and focus all your energy on the flight distance, the fireball It is impossible for the shooting range to exceed 100 meters, and the trebuchets at the foot of the mountain are a full 150 meters away from the mountain. If they hadn't thrown them from the bottom up, then maybe these trebuchets would have been placed 200 meters away. ,
Maybe a magician is invincible in a small-scale battle, but on a medium-sized battlefield with thousands of people on both sides, it is impossible for a magician to change the situation, unless he is lucky enough to use all his strength to release a magic , and happened to hit the enemy leader who came to the front line to investigate the enemy's situation.
Now this Fabian magician actually threatens to destroy the heavily guarded trebuchet at the foot of the mountain. Assuming that he is not bragging, but really intends to do this, then this Mr. Fabia plans to go deep behind enemy lines alone. Well, why don't we grab a few thousand cannon fodder and rush down together to die
These guards were not wrong to think so, but they overlooked one important thing, that is, in the past 200 years, human magicians have gradually declined, and they are no longer as prosperous as they used to be. Therefore, people's understanding of magic has also become narrower. Just imagine , the number of all high-level magicians now is not as good as the number promoted in one year 200 years ago, then can people's understanding of magic and magicians not slowly decline
Those who were promoted to senior magicians in the past may have only just realized the true meaning of magic, because the limit of magic they can master is a small amount of level 6 magic. However, in those duels that often involve magic of level 6 or above, these senior magicians are still It’s really just the most basic existence,
Why is there such a title as "Magister"? In fact, the meaning of this title is really simple, that is, a magic tutor. In other words, only by reaching this level can one be truly proficient in magic and be qualified to teach others magic knowledge. But now Well, if a medium-sized city has a magic tower, then the magicians stationed inside will be at the level of intermediate magicians. And the biggest purpose of these magic towers was to teach magic to local talented apprentices.
Therefore, in the perception of those guards, a powerful magician is an intermediate magician who is good at basic magic such as "Fireball". Being able to reach this level is enough to change the outcome of small-scale battles, such as Ryan's one-on-one battle just now. The battle of Moses' team, and as for the current battle with thousands of people, a magician like Ryan should stay with the leader honestly. At least it can ensure that one's command center will not collapse due to a sneak attack.
In fact, if both sides of the army have a large number of magisters, no one will think about building a trebuchet, because magister-level magicians can already accurately strike targets hundreds of meters away. Well, at that time, both sides will use magicians as the main force to engage in long-distance magic exchanges. The strength of our own warriors is basically meaningless. The reason why we still bring warriors is to do some trivial things. For example, guarding camps and occupying territory,
And if both sides of the war have a sufficient number of archmages, then this war will not be fought at all. Just imagine that one archmage can use forbidden spells to destroy an opponent's city. Dozens or hundreds of forbidden spell attacks It is something that no country can bear. If both sides don't move, they will almost perish together.
Of course, this kind of situation has not happened since the day humans learned magic. It is precisely because of the scarcity of the number of great mages that it becomes precious. Otherwise, the entire continent would become the fragmented alien world in the legend. According to rumors, the strength of the seven kings in the other world all exceeds the limit that humans can understand. And in the respective camps of the seven kings, there are by no means a few subordinates who have reached the level of the Archmage.
