The battle goes on...
Richard, who was acting as a spectator in the corner, watched the battle with thoughts in his mind.
To be honest, although there are some improvements in wizard-level battles compared to wizard apprentice-level battles. It is no longer just a stand-up output, but also has dodge and interaction, but the difference in essence is not very big.
It is still the round cycle mode of "you attack and I defend, and I defend against your attack". Maybe if you go faster and get the upper hand in the battle, you can gain some advantages. But it is almost impossible to use this advantage to kill an opponent of comparable strength in a short period of time.
To sum up, in the current wizarding world, all battles are conservative, and defense is greater than attack. This is exactly the opposite of the modern earth-attack is greater than defense.
There are theoretically no hostile targets on modern earth that cannot be destroyed.
In the age of cold weapons, no matter how strong the enemy was wearing armor, they would still be killed by sharp two-handed swords and heavy war hammers.
In the era of hot weapons, the bulletproof vests worn by the enemy are completely unable to withstand bullets fired by powerful rifles, let alone bullets fired by anti-material sniper rifles.
According to the power of peak mature thermal weapons, it only takes one bullet to hit the human body. Even if you are wearing a double-layered body armor and a heavy bulletproof helmet, you will still be penetrated, severely injured, or even die. Even if the bullet cannot penetrate body armor and bulletproof helmets, the kinetic energy released will still shatter bones and break necks. At that time, the body will be intact, but the person will be dead.
From a certain point of view, the biggest role of body armor, bulletproof helmets, bulletproof underwear and the like is not to protect against frontal bullets, but to prevent shrapnel flying from nowhere on the battlefield.
It is evident that attack is greater than defense.
Upgrading infantry to one level and turning them into combat vehicles, tanks, fighter planes, and battleships is similar. As long as the attacks from combat vehicles, tanks, fighter planes, and warships can hit, they are very likely to destroy targets of the same level.
This leads to the fact that modern battles on Earth pay special attention to the principle of "discover first, destroy first". Once you take the lead, you are very likely to win the battle.
The current battles in the wizarding world look a bit magical when brought to the modern earth: both sides of the attack seem to be fighting with weapons that are more than one generation behind.
The battle between wizard apprentices is like two men wearing armor, each holding a wooden stick and fighting each other. The winner can be determined with difficulty until they are exhausted.
The current battle between Eva and Solmen is like two people sitting in a tank, controlling a musket or a small-caliber mortar. Even if they hit each other dozens of times, they will still be blocked by metal armor with a thickness of several hundred millimeters. Unless some miracle happens, such as hitting the opponent's fatal flaw while not paying attention, it will be difficult to end the battle in a short time.
This way of fighting cannot be said to be stupid. It is probably the evolution of the current wizarding world after hundreds of years and thousands of years of development. It is the result of the mutual influence of wizards in the entire world.
Perhaps it is precisely in this way that wizards can develop in sufficient numbers. Otherwise, like the "attack is greater than defense" on modern earth, the mortality rate of wizards in combat is too high, and the overall number drops by more than an order of magnitude. Then, it is hard to say whether wizards can become the ruling power of the current time. They may be tied to the stake and burned to death by ordinary people just like the Middle Ages on modern earth.
Having said that, this fighting method may be reasonable and adaptable to most people in the current world, but it is not the most powerful and has plenty of room for improvement.
For Richard, if he were to fight, it would definitely not be like this.
Richard thought like this. Eva and Solmen had fought each other for more than a dozen rounds, fighting countless brilliant spells. The ground in the entire courtyard was in a mess, full of pits filled with flames and wind blades. Cut marks.
In the process, Eva actually gained the advantage in the battle.
What Angel said before, that Eva had killed the White Stone Tower teacher, should be true - Eva does have this strength.
Eva is obviously not an ordinary first-level wizard. She is probably the highest-priced first-level wizard. In terms of combat effectiveness, she is stronger than Dempsey on the giant wheel.
Richard thought.
At this time, Eva released a new spell, causing a lot of air to condense around her again, and then formed slender whips, and these whips were not one or two, seven or eight, or a dozen, but dozens.
The attack was almost overwhelming, beating Sommen continuously.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Evocation of wind-like spells·First-level high-level·Wind dances wildly!
Facing this attack, Suomen had no choice but to hold up the flame shield he had used before and resist with difficulty, retreating while resisting.
Eva's momentum became stronger, her attacks became stronger and stronger, and she slowly pushed Somen back into the corner.
Solmen was a little embarrassed, while Mu Keni hid far away, looking like it had nothing to do with her.
Eva glanced at Solmen and Mu Keni, her eyes burst into light, and she suddenly gave up the attack on Solmen. She stepped hard on her feet, blessed her body with flying spells, and rushed into the sky, preparing to escape.
From the beginning, Eva didn't really believe what Mukoni said. After all, she watched her companions being killed without making a sound, and she didn't believe anyone who told her. And she will definitely lose in a one versus two fight.
In fact, even if she has a certain advantage over Solmen alone, it will be very difficult to defeat Solmen. Even if he really defeated and killed Solmen, he would not be able to fight against Mu Keni anymore because of the excessive consumption. Therefore, she has been planning a breakout, and now it seems that this is the best opportunity.
In a very short period of time, Eva's body had risen to an altitude of tens of meters. She was about to escape when she suddenly seemed to hit some defensive shield. She screamed "Ah" and her body felt like it had broken wings. Falling like a bird.
Even though he took some countermeasures when he fell, there was still a "bang" sound when he landed, creating a hole in the courtyard.
"Wow!"
Eva spat out a mouthful of blood, slowly walked out of the pit, and stared at Solmen and Mu Keni: "You! Damn it!"
Solmen's face was expressionless, and Mu Keni sneered and said sarcastically: "Hey, I told you, you fight with Solmen honestly, this is your only way to survive, but in the end you have to run away, then I'm sorry.
You know, I have taken a lot of precautions where you can't see me, to prevent you from escaping, to prevent you from asking for help, to prevent you from deliberately making too much noise and attracting flies from the White Stone Tower. .
In short, it is impossible for you to escape successfully.
In addition, I really want to ask you, are you stupid? Even without my precautions, there are still two of us wizards right here. Are you using flight spells to escape under our noses? Ha, as long as we respond in time, it will be too easy to knock you down, right? Do you really not know how to write the word "death"? "
What Mu Keni said was not an exaggeration, but a fact.
In the current wizarding world, although wizards can fly and fight, in most cases, they can't fly without flying.
The reason is very simple. When flying into the air, the mana consumption increases, and there are certain restrictions on dodging and movement, which will reduce the strength to a certain extent.
Therefore, only when there is an absolute advantage in strength, and under the premise of crushing strength, will flying attacks be carried out. In a battle with the same level, forced liftoff without special circumstances will expose a lot of flaws and drag the battle into an extremely bad situation.
Of course Eva knew this, but just now she felt that Solmen and Mu Keni would not be able to react, so she took the risk of using flying spells to break out. Who knew, Mu Keni had been on guard.
Damn it!
