In the era of cold weapons, a war is often not as optimistic as people think.
Before encountering such face-to-face fighting, it is difficult for people living in peaceful times to speculate on the pair of gazes that are cruising on the battlefield. The battle is a bit of coldness, how did the sharp, sharp blade penetrate into the throat, let the blood splash, and melt into the night—the dying man struggled hard, staring at the last scenery he could see with a sorrowful and feeble gaze. It should be a picture that has gradually become bleak and static.
Then, because the blood foamed back into the lungs, the wounded coughed hoarsely, curled up and died miserably.
But there are still many people who take it for granted to replace the scenes in the novel jokes with the real fight, just like the first batch of players in the "Amber Sword" and the later ones. Of course at that time Brando still had an identity called'Sophie'. He remembered that his first real battle in that past game was funny and ridiculous.
Unexpectedly, the two armies opened up the battlefield, and the two armies faced each other. It was in a similar forest—Deldertal Forest. Brando still remembers that place, densely densely covered with jungle, winding along the steep and rugged coastline, opponents are hidden between cliffs, through caves extending in all directions and their hide-and-seek slave merchants and their private army.
Because the real confrontation actually takes place between elite scouts—the player’s large forces orderly drew a beautiful skirmish line in the jungle, their number is about three times or even more than the number of slaves and private soldiers. Some. But the balance of victory and defeat in a real confrontation does not necessarily depend on the number. The beginning of the battle is accompanied by the chaos of the players. Form a small team to fight each other.
Players were attacked on both wings for several hours, but the thousands in the center were only delayed by a small group of cavalry.
Yes, most people understand that the flanks are under attack.
But the problem is.
Where is the scout
Where is the flank
When you put yourself on a huge battlefield of the Cold Weapon Age with a width of several kilometers, you will find that being able to overlook the entire battlefield from a forty-five-degree angle is not only a happy thing, but also a promising one. Unforgettable extravagant hope.
Brando deeply remembered that at that time he was in a forest with his own people from front to back, all sides were filled with various flags-belonging to the union, individual, knight, attendant, swallowtail flag, square flag, But no one understands what that means.
Most people, including him, could only be surrounded and moved forward, following the crowd for several hours blindly. Occasionally encounter a group of small-scale slaves and private soldiers, all of them swarmed up, like a broken bamboo. At first, the players were in high spirits and thought they were already in sight. But later, if you look down on the battlefield at this moment, you will find that this huge team has long been torn apart.
And two or three professional mercenaries are interspersed among the torn pieces of cake, gnawing into it like moths.
By the time it gets late, the enemy's flag will be on all sides—
Recalling that war, which was later nicknamed the "Del Detal Massacre"—in fact, the name vividly described the situation of more than 1,700 players gathered by three unions. There is no doubt that these players are extremely brave fighters, even if in the end they each formed a small team to fight to the death, of course, the whole army was wiped out.
In fact, what is really ironic is that throughout the morning and afternoon, the results of the battles caused by the players have not caused much damage to the slave traders after the battle after the night.
Brando thought of the battle, not just a wry smile, but also a cold sweat. After that, until the later Buchi War (during the Second Black Rose War), players gradually learned their lessons and learned how to arrange the battlefield—what banners they needed. How to tell which knight aristocrat’s army belongs under a certain flag from the strange-shaped badges. Players also learn to place the battlefield on a flat, gentle slope below a high ground, so that their commander will be around ten kilometers in radius. The battlefield has a panoramic view.
It's just like what the "Maned Wolf" Macaro does now.
Of course, the battle between mercenaries and bandits is far from war. However, the battle in the wild forest is the same. Brando tightened the reins to prevent the horses from being irritated by the dense bushes. He turned his head and saw some in the forest wearing green cloaks and holding pomelo-lacquered bows. 'S silhouette flashed by. If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that these guys will not be aware of it at all.
Those are of course not lizardmen. Brando thinks that the lizardmen in the Balrogan forest should of course belong to the lihzaur tribe. Although their granular skin with fine scales is also dark green, these dwarf creatures are not as good as The mountain people are tall and burly. There is no doubt that those are the best hunters among the mountain people—forest shooters.
This is the name given to them by the Cruz people who invaded this place. This name was like a ghost wandering above the forest to the soldiers of the Empire more than two hundred years ago, but it is an honor for the mountain people. title. It means the quickest hunter, the most accurate shooter, and the best ranger.
"I don't know where Macaro got these rangers," Brando tapped on the metal parts on the reins with his fingers unconsciously, and thought silently. Of course he has heard of these "one of the most outstanding rangers in mankind". In fact, in the past, or in the future, he has fought side by side with these rangers for a period of time, maybe not too long, but it is enough to leave a deep impression. impression. "Could it be that they have been wandering in this area for a long time?"
With a good ranger, the mercenary group is much easier to do.
Obviously, the'Maned Wolf' is quite capable of dealing with opponents—
In fact, Brando knows that in the chaotic time of public security, the mercenaries are more familiar with their rivals in various places than the latter are familiar with them.
This is the case with the members of the'Grey Wolf' mercenary group. It is not the first time or the second time for them to do this kind of work. It is common to hire mercenaries to fight against the bandit groups entrenched in the wilderness. The more famous mercenaries are, the more experienced they are. And "Maned Wolf" Macaro will naturally not be an unknown person.
According to Brando himself, if the player wants to deal with the thieves, the best idea is naturally to pull out the opponent's nest once and for all. He took a look at Macaro's arrangement, and he understood that the other party's actions were inseparable from what he thought. However, they have another advantage. They have determined the location of the Lizardmen tribe. It takes a lot of trouble for outsiders to find the silver elf ruins in Barrogan, but it is easy for hunters of locals and mountain people. Things.
Originally Brando was hesitant at the beginning, he was not sure whether he had to join the other party in the adventure. After all, he could hire someone to follow him privately and wait for the opportunity. However, there are some risks in doing so. Rushing behind a mercenary group can be regarded as a serious provocation, and it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Young people don't want to make extravagances, so they thought of using mercenaries to write the existing provisions above.
But now it seems that he did not expect that there are so many forest-wearing people under Macaro, which is an unexpected joy. Of course, he also reminded him, fortunately, he didn't act according to the'A' plan, otherwise, how could ordinary guides not be found in front of the forest walker.
He couldn't help looking at Macaro and Buga.
'Maned Wolf' Macaro and Buga both had their faces sullen, and they deliberately let Brando see the forest-piercing shooter under their men. They were also compelled. This was just a deterrent. Brando and his group of fifteen people were like a time bomb in the center of the team, like a mans back, but he was even more unlikely to put them in front or behind, because that would be more dangerous.
Of course, if there is a choice, Macaro will definitely choose to throw Brando directly. In fact, Buga had given him such a signal more than once.
But Macaro finally shook his head.
He touched the scar on his face. The'Grey Wolf' mercenaries could not do anything to apologize for the honor of the group as a whole, although many mercenary groups did it-even some of the now famous large mercenary groups, their The past is not necessarily so glorious. But he and Buja actually understand that they are the same group.
The two men glanced at each other and thought of the young man Eco.
"Ike is still in town?" Macaro asked.
Bu add a little bit.
"Forget it, let him go. It's not his fault," the red-haired middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that we can't talk to him too much."
"He is also for your own good."
"He saw the weirdness on the card side, but didn't understand that we knew it a long time ago. Drake was calculating us. How could that idiot know that we were also calculating him." Macaro tilted his head in disdain. : "But the real trouble now is not that guy, but the young man in the team. I have now determined that he and Solitaire are not in the same group, but this doesn't make me less worried."
"This is really an irony, do you understand."'Maned Wolf' ridiculed himself infrequently.
Bu Jian deeply felt the same.
But Brando didn't understand how much trouble his arrival had caused the two big men in the future. There were about seventy people in their line, and they went straight to the silver elf ruins in the forest. It would be best if they could make a sneak attack. If not, it is estimated that this time out for work will last for several days. Suppressing bandits in the forest is not something you can do overnight.
It's just that he was riding on a horse, but he was thinking about something else.
He thought of the strategy post on the forum again, but he racked his brains and couldn’t figure out when the "Maned Wolf" Makaro became involved with a mercenary group called the "Grey Wolf". It shouldn't be "Mountain Blue". '? The kind of light purple flowers blooming in the mountains in the south. What does the flower as the emblem of the mercenary group symbolize? He suddenly shook his head to throw this unrelated idea out of his mind, and then it seemed as if a flash of sky and sea struck apart the dark sky and sea. He was like being poured cold water from his head, awe-inspiring the connection between this noun and the previous word.
Gray Wolf Mercenary Group! By the way, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group!
Brando raised his head and felt that the surrounding mountains seemed to be stained with a strange color. It turned out to be just a simple task of eradicating robbers, but now it seemed that there was something wrong.
Logically speaking, he saw more than 70 members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group. Among them, the black iron level accounted for more than half, and another one-fifth was silver level, and there were forest-piercing shooters. Such a team would eliminate more than 100 lizardman robbers in their early 20s. What strategy is needed there. But there must be something wrong with it.
Brando just took a soft breath when he heard Antitina ask from behind.
"Why do you arrange people there? This is not the norm." He almost didn't have to look back to think of the noble daughter frowning.
"What do you know, little girl." This was Reddy's voice.
Brando immediately sketched a foul face.
