Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 51: General Assembly (12)
According to my observations and statistics of the last battle, and after the analysis of Xue Wuxia, Yun Feiying and others, Yamato's spirit can support about five "anger transformations", and Yamamoto Kyushu can release four "solid" skills. Maybe they still have enough mental power, but they need to use a few skills occasionally, and it is impossible to put all their mental power into it. In the battle just now, Yamamoto Kyushu tried his best to cover Yamato's spirit and used the "solid" skill three times. In addition, he used several skill attacks. It is estimated that he is already at the end of his strength and can only use the "solid" skill once more at most. However, Yamato's spirit is extremely cautious and often hides behind Yamamoto Kyushu. In an emergency, he would rather consume his health and physical strength and only use his ability once. It seems that he intends to use the "anger transformation" ability to cooperate with the "slash" skill attack to give us a fatal blow after approaching us. This is the same as what Xue Wuxia and the others had guessed beforehand. It is a tactic centered on the Yamato spirit. As long as they do not suffer too serious a blow in the early stage, once the Yamato spirit breaks through our defense line, the archers and magicians will not be able to withstand his full-strength attack and will be quickly killed. Insufficient staffing and too few melee professions are always our biggest shortcomings.
I, a rookie, can have such an understanding, thanks to Xue Wuxia. At the beginning, she asked me to pay attention to the skills of Yamato Spirit and Yamamoto Kyushu, and then report to her in detail. I was quite unhappy. In such a fierce battle, I have to distract myself to observe the enemy situation. Isn't this adding to my burden? Now if we don't have this information as a reference, we can't judge the current specific strength of the opponent, which affects the accuracy of the decision. I didn't expect that playing games actually has some of the flavor of fighting and doing business in reality, which requires constant analysis and calculation.
The situation was urgent, and Xue Wuxia made a decisive decision. "Everyone, form a trapezoidal formation, slowly retreat, and conduct long-range attacks. Try to avoid hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Ah Dai, command the skeleton warriors to form a fan-shaped formation with us as the center and be responsible for cover. Once the enemy launches an attack, we must entangle them and not let them approach ."
Everyone responded and began to change the formation according to the plan. Afeng and the Guardian of the Heart were the first echelon, followed by Yun Wuying and Nan Feiyan, Diewu and Xiaoniaoyiren, Xue Wuxia and me. The skeleton warriors formed a fan shape to protect the two wings, ready to rush forward to resist the opponent's attack at any time. However, I still have too little experience, and I cannot perfectly perform such complex commands. A large number of skeleton warriors were arranged in a mess, without any rules. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as a mob. I have no idea how much combat effectiveness they can exert in a evenly matched melee.
When the Yamato Spirit saw the formation we had formed, they withstood two rounds of arrow and magic attacks, saw through our intention, and quickly changed into a diamond formation. Led by Yamamoto Kyushu and Yamato Spirit, they quickened their pace and charged towards us swiftly . The team moved fast but not in disorder, showing tacit cooperation and combat qualities. With such strength alone, they were already superior to us.
Xue Wuxia made a gesture, and I hurriedly commanded the skeleton warriors to rush forward, focusing on attacking the opponent's two wings, leaving a passage in the middle to allow Akagi and Jingsheng and Yamamoto Kyushu to come over. Since they were eager to rush over, it would be difficult to stop them with the skeleton warriors alone, so we might as well try to entangle the others and let us concentrate on besieging the two of them. Even if two of them die, as long as we can get rid of the two first, the balance of victory will tilt towards us. This was also the contingency measure agreed upon in advance.
Looking back at his teammates who were under crazy attack, Yamato Jingshen still rushed up with Yamamoto Kyushu. Although without their two absolute main forces, the other six people would have a much harder time facing eighty skeleton warriors and would not be able to withdraw to provide support in a short time. However, the two of them were very confident in their own strength and decided to kill us as soon as possible, which would naturally help rescue their teammates.
We continue to move backwards, constantly using the skills of "Critical Hit", "Ice Bomb", and "Lightning Arrow". Even if we cannot hit them, we must force them to dodge, increase their physical loss, and affect their flexibility of movement. This way, Afeng and the Guardian of the Heart will be able to fight them more easily later.
The Yamato Spirit suddenly roared, and a red light flashed on its body. It had already used the "Anger" ability, and its speed doubled. It flashed to the right, intending to bypass the two knights guarding the front and attack the archer and magician behind. Yamamoto Kyushu also used the "Solid" skill and rushed towards Afeng and the Guardian of the Heart at full speed, trying to entangle them so that they could not split themselves to meet the Yamato Spirit.
We certainly couldn't let them get what they wanted. The Guardian of the Heart took the initiative to rush forward and face Yamamoto Kyushu. Nan Feiyan and Xiao Niao Yiren also flashed over to help. He wanted to entangle us, and we also wanted to hold him back. A Feng retreated quickly, staring at Yamato's spirit, and continuously shot at him with "ice bullets" and "lightning arrows" that could slow down his movement speed. At this critical moment, he didn't care about saving his mental strength.
The doubled agility was terrifying. Afeng's reaction was fast enough, but he still couldn't keep up with Yamato's spirit. He dodged and slashed Yun Wuying with a sword. Fortunately, he didn't have time to dodge Afeng, and was hit by the "Ice Bullet" and "Lightning Arrow" magic, which slowed down a little. Yun Wuying's reaction was also very fast. When he saw the opponent pounce in front of him, he leaned back and fell backwards. He didn't hit completely, so he unloaded part of the attack. However, looking at the amount of blood flowing out of the wound, he was really injured. After landing, he rolled several times in a row to pull away. At the same time, a piece of gold medicine was already attached to the wound, and then he jumped up immediately and shot out a "critical blow" rapidly. In the last game, the opponent was caught off guard, and there were skeleton warriors holding him back, so he couldn't fully exert his strength. Now he showed his true strength, and his "angry" ability was really terrifying.
The "Fury" ability only lasts for a short time after it is used. The state returns to normal when it hits Yun Wuying. There is an obvious pause in the body, which is a sequelae. We are waiting for this opportunity. Afeng's "Thrust" first stabbed him hard, pushing him back two steps, and then he was hit by the "Ice Bomb" and "Lightning Arrow". It's a pity that the freezing and paralysis effects did not appear and could not slow him down.
Without waiting for our second wave of attack to begin, the Yamato spirit roared again, a red light flashed, and it rushed towards me without paying any attention to Afeng in front of it and Yun Wuying not far away. If I was hit, with my fragile defense and extremely low health, I would definitely be killed in one blow.
Afeng was unable to stop him, and the others were unable to withstand the attack. I could only rely on myself at this time. Fortunately, I knew how powerful he was, so I was prepared and had planned an escape route. While he was repelling Yun Wuying, I turned around quickly and ran away. This was also what Xue Wuxia and the others asked of me. To save my life first, I could retreat first when the situation was not right. There were still fifty or sixty skeleton warriors on the ring, and I could not sacrifice myself.
Yamato misjudged my reaction and didn't expect me to retreat so quickly. His fierce attack actually missed me. He was slightly stunned, and then he became "angry" again and continued to chase me. Although Afeng was desperately chasing him from behind, he was too agile and could only stare at his back and wave his spear helplessly. Xue Wuxia and Diewu intensified their attacks while keeping a distance to prevent him from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. The other side had not yet withdrawn from the battle, and we couldn't lose easily.
I dare not be negligent at this critical moment of life and death. Before I can stand firm and observe the situation, I rush out in another direction, trying my best to get out of the attack range of Yamato Spirit. After a month of practice and special training yesterday, I have accumulated some experience on how to save my life. Surprise attack and maintaining continuity of action are my best tactics to get rid of enemy attacks at this stage.
