How to deal with remote saturation attacks
Every player with rich combat experience has his own set of methods, but they are similar with minor differences. In summary, it is the following points, find cover, reduce the area of hits (such as crouching with your head in your arms), increase your own defense, and so on.
If Beta is still a mercenary or a nobody, rolling and crawling to find cover is the best way, and the latter two are also good. But now that he is the pope, with more than 2,000 pairs of eyes watching him, it is impossible for him to act like this. For a pope to act in such an embarrassing manner, it will definitely seriously depress morale.
So you have to think of other ways.
Fortunately, this is an unscientific magic world, and occasionally there will be some weird methods, such as shadowing, avoiding planes, defending against arrows, and so on.
The two abilities of shadowing and plane avoidance are blood-type, extremely rare, and defensive arrows are very common low-level magic, but it has a big disadvantage, that is, the number of defensive arrows is limited.
If it is a one-on-one match, the defensive arrow skill is simply a nightmare for long-range occupations, but in a war, facing dense and saturated long-range attacks, it is useless to resist the limited number of defensive arrow magic. not much difference.
Magicians are the most creative professions. In order to deal with this situation, another kind of magic that specifically deals with long-range physical attacks in war has appeared.
The long-range attack rebounds!
The invention of this kind of magic is not the protection magic tower that is good at defense, but the evocation magic tower that is famous for offense, which is often called the red magic tower, the group of violent madmen who take bombing as their mission.
As the saying goes, extremes lead to opposites, because the red magic towers focus too much on attacking and don't pay much attention to their own defense, so they are easy to be attacked by people. Instead of being attacked by an assassin, a powerful magician has strong mental power. Whether it is shadowing or invisibility, you will feel it after getting close to them for a certain distance.
What they are most afraid of is the unexpected long-range attack, especially the kind of arrows that do not have magic fluctuations. Moreover, high-level long-range professional attackers can use powerful Lianzhu arrows. Even if the defensive arrow magic is used in advance, it is of little use. After all, the people in the red magic tower are not specialized in defense, and defensive arrows can be resisted by magic. The number of arrows is limited, and the arrows with stronger penetrating power cannot be blocked by the people of the red magic tower.
After suffering several big losses, the long-range attack rebounded magic, which was created by the people of the red magic tower.
If it is purely defensive magic, there is no difference between long-range attack rebound magic and defensive magic arrows.
But the category attribute of this magic is 'attack magic', and the attribute is fire.
The situation is different now... The red magic tower mages who are good at attacking specialization can easily master this magic to the proficient level, and this magic can not only be cast actively, but also can be made into magic patterns, which can be triggered passively and forcefully. outrageous,
Since then, the people in the red magic tower are no longer afraid of sneak attacks from long-range attacks.
Of course, there are always restrictions on powerful magic. This magic can only be mastered by master-level spellcasters, and most importantly... the red magic tower did not spread this magic to outsiders.
But in the game, a group of players raised the prestige of the red magic tower to admiration, and then posted the magic modeling on the forum, and downloaded it for a fee.
It was at that time that Beta obtained the magic of rebounding long-range attacks.
The effect of long-range attack rebound is: according to different levels, all long-range physical attacks with a certain intensity in a certain area will be returned to the enemy.
A powerful caster can even maintain this magic for nearly an hour.
Beta is not that powerful, he is just a half-toned warlock, and can only maintain this magic for about ten minutes at most.
But that's enough... Three magic scrolls were thrown on the ground, and three dark red magic light curtains blocked the wall. Each light curtain is 100 meters long, wide and high, and it protects the middle 300 meters of the city wall, which is also the most intensively attacked by the arrow rain.
The black rain of arrows hit the light curtain, causing dense ripples to appear on the light curtain, like countless raindrops falling on a calm lake.
The thin light curtain 'swallowed' all the long arrows in, like a bottomless pit.
The queens, protected by the light curtains, stuck their heads out behind the wall. They looked at the three light curtains in midair, and felt very relieved, and their morale improved a lot.
After about a minute, the Ibuganda army stopped firing, and they played, and the effect of the shooting was very small. Naturally, they also discovered the three light curtains, and planned to attack again after the magic disappeared.
But at this moment, Beta's mental power moved, controlling the three light curtains, ejecting all the arrows that were 'swallowed', and returning them back the same way.
Just now Ibuganda shot four waves of arrows, these arrows were absorbed by the long-range attack rebound magic, and then turned into a wave of arrows.
Four in one, the densely packed arrows covered most of Ibuganda's army at once, and then saw the enemies in the distance, and they fell down a lot at once, like a black square cake with a few small holes missing.
Many were killed by arrows, but compared with the number of an army, it was still a little less.
But this has a good result. The soldiers on the city wall held up their weapons and shouted cheers. The pope personally took action to protect his own people and kill the enemy army, which would greatly increase the morale of his side.
There is an essential difference between "you follow me" and "you follow me".
The morale of the enemy troops was greatly affected, and they began to retreat.
In the camp in Urganda, after listening to the report from the front line, Commander-in-Chief Bram waved his hand to let the messenger go down.
A young staff officer next to him said: "If my information is correct, what the other party used just now should be the unique magic that the red magic tower never spreads. At least three experts from the red magic tower have been invited."
"This is a jihad of worshiping Vulcan. Why do the people in the red magic tower face outsiders?" A middle-aged staff officer on the left of the commander was a little puzzled: "The people in the red magic tower should also believe in Vulcan."
"No, they don't believe in Vulcan." The young staff officer smiled bitterly: "The red magic tower, in fact, its real name should be called the evocation system magic tower, but they like to use fire magic, so people in the world call them red magic towers. They believe in It is Mystra, the goddess of magic, not Vulcan."
The middle-aged staff officer muttered: "The magic world is really troublesome. Why does Vulcan allow people who don't believe in him to use magic flames? I don't understand."
Bram, the commander, clapped his hands and asked, "It seems that long-range strikes have no effect now. Do you have any other ideas?"
