Chapter 253 The player’s first large-scale battle
Sophie took a group of female players on a mission to conduct a ‘drill’.
Hardy was quite bored and had no official business to attend to, so he nestled in the magic laboratory and flipped through a black-covered book.
This is the treasure Sophie brought back from the devil world, the gunmanship book of the Headless Horseman clan.
Although the Headless Horseman uses a light gun, not even a lance, it stands to reason that it does not match the Nightmare Knight's heavy lance.
But the so-called marksmanship is not simply a weapon move, but a special way of training.
Through different gun-waving movements, the direction of magic power in the human body is changed, thereby achieving the purpose of strengthening human body functions.
For example, stronger strength and more flexible physical fitness.
The Headless Horseman is a light cavalry. They usually make many incredible tactical moves on horseback, which also benefits from the flexibility bonus brought by this set of marksmanship.
Of course... the flexibility bonus can be used in all aspects of life.
But what really matters to Hardy is the special magic confluence effect in marksmanship.
Connect your own magic power with your mount to achieve the purpose of merging the magic power source and expanding the total upper limit.
To put it simply, it is a set of techniques for borrowing magic power from each other.
As magical creatures, whether it is the Headless Horseman's Ghost War Horse or the Nightmare Knight's Nightmare War Horse, they are both magical creatures. The stronger their magic power, the stronger their overall abilities will be.
After reading this marksmanship book carefully, Hardy had to admit that the demons were indeed at the forefront in studying the abilities of their respective races.
On the human side, they actually rely on various gods' beliefs and magical abilities to supplement their combat effectiveness.
The demon clan does not have its own god... This is its biggest shortcoming.
Closing the book, Hardy decided to temporarily give up practicing the Fire Phoenix Sword Technique and switch to the Headless Horseman Spear Technique.
After all, the improvement the Fire Phoenix Sword Technique has had on his physical fitness is minimal.
The emergence of this marksmanship book is a timely 'complement' for Hardy.
Moreover, Sophie also brought a lot of treasures, and threw them all to Hardy with a smile, leaving only a few things she liked.
Honestly, Hardy feels that this time, he is a softie.
And it’s hard to eat.
The days after that were very normal.
Hardy handles some official duties every day, and spends most of his time either in the magic laboratory or in his nightmare form, practicing the Headless Horseman's marksmanship.
It only took him nearly a month to feel that his combat effectiveness while riding had improved to a certain extent.
Strength, physique, and agility have all increased slightly. What is really amazing is that his charging speed has been greatly improved while riding heavily.
Before practicing marksmanship, when the man and horse are integrated, the total weight is more than 6.4 tons, and the charging speed is 57 kilometers per hour.
But now, after just one month of practicing marksmanship, the weight of the Nightmare Knight has increased again, with a total weight of 6.9 tons, and the charging speed has reached 62 kilometers per hour.
It seems that neither the weight nor the sprint speed have increased much, but in real terms, the impact force has increased by slightly more than 17%, and this is only a month's growth.
And after the attributes reach a certain level, there will be a 'crushing' effect.
If it were Hardy now, and he encountered the sixty-man dungeon incident a few months ago, he would no longer be afraid of those ten or so giant heavy guns, and he would directly crash into them, shattering the enemy's guns and shields. , not even a high jump is needed.
This is the crushing effect brought about by attributes reaching a certain level.
Hardy watched himself grow with joy. This feeling of getting stronger little by little makes people want to stop.
And it was in this seemingly peaceful life that the first wave of conflicts between the north and the south broke out after winter.
The reason was still because of Sophie. She led the Silver Moon Witch with hundreds of people to raid the border city of Sainte in the central part of the north. She killed the city lord at the time and burned most of the army rations with a fire. I have to say... the Silver Moon Witches are really strong. The recording of their raid on the Lord's Mansion was posted online afterwards. There was a female player who liked to record this.
Players who joined the northern faction deduced Sophie’s route of action based on the clues in the video, and planned to take a shortcut to intercept and kill the group of female players. As a result, the two sides ended up fighting. It was a tie, and the players from the southern faction were not to be outdone and followed with reinforcements.
The northern faction began to call friends.
The southern faction was not to be outdone and continued to call people.
The two sides went back and forth, and in less than seven days, it actually turned into a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people.
This is also the first large-scale battle between players in this world in the true sense.
Both sides spontaneously elected their own commanders, and then dispatched troops to each other on the Great Plains.
You attack me.
The more angry you are, the more angry you become.
Finally, after more than a month of melee and recruiting, the number of professional players on both sides has reached the 100,000 level.
In general, more people are sent from the south.
Because on the southern side, there is the city of Ruisian built by Hadi. Many players trade, do tasks and stay temporarily here, and it has become a vague gathering place for players.
Relatively speaking, they agree more with the southern faction, so the southern faction outnumbers the northern faction by about 20%.
More than 100,000 people were beaten into a pot of porridge. Lost equipment and mangled player corpses were everywhere on the plain.
Covering almost the entire plain.
As the trigger, Sophie had already returned to Louisian County with those female players.
"Okay, I'm home." Sophie stood in front of the lord's mansion and stretched. Her beautiful curves made people couldn't help but take a few more glances: "You did a good job. It's a holiday. Come back for training in three days.”
“Okay!”
A group of female players shouted happily and then disbanded.
By participating in this exercise, they can get experience and gold coins for the group epic mission.
With more than twenty silver coins, not only can they upgrade, but they can also have money to go shopping. They are very happy.
And Sophie returned to the Lord's Mansion with a proud look.
The moment she found Hadi in the study and closed the door, her proud look immediately turned into a look of fear.
"Hardy, I'm so scared." Sophie threw herself into Hardy's arms and said delicately: "Those undead people are so crazy. Tens of thousands of them were fighting on the plain. Much scarier than our demons.”
Hardy patted Sophie's fattest part and said with a smile: "The total number of them now exceeds one hundred thousand."
Sophie took a breath of air, one hundred thousand professionals, just thinking about it makes her feel uncomfortable horrible.
And this is only about one-tenth of the total number of undead.
"This war may turn into something very bad." Hardy thought for a moment and said, "Just in case, we must be prepared."
Sophie pursed her lips slightly: "Is it my fault?"
Hardy shook his head: "Sooner or later."
In the original world line, a large-scale battle broke out among players. Although the number of players was only half of this time, it still caused great disasters.
Yes, it’s a disaster!
