Chapter 304: Strict Defense, There Is No Way to Escape
The battle continues......
Richard, who was acting as a spectator in the corner, watched the battle, and his mind turned.
To be honest, the wizard-level battle, compared with the wizard apprentice-level battle, although there are some improvements, it is no longer a simple stake output, there is dodging and interaction, but the difference is not very big in essence.
It's still a round-robin mode of "you attack, I defend, I defend you attack". Maybe you can get a few points of advantage by being faster and getting the first hand in the battle. But it is almost impossible to use this advantage to kill an opponent of equal strength in a short period of time.
To sum up, it is that in the current wizarding world, all battles are conservative, and defense is greater than attack, which is the opposite of modern Earth - attack is greater than defense.
On the modern planet, theoretically there are no hostile targets that cannot be destroyed.
In the age of cold weapons, no matter how strong the armor is, the enemy will die under the sharp two-handed sword and heavy war hammer.
In the era of hot weapons, the body armor worn by the enemy is completely unable to withstand the bullets fired by high-powered rifles, let alone the bullets of anti-materiel sniper rifles.
According to the power of the peak mature thermal weapon, only one bullet needs to hit the human body, even if you wear double body armor and wear a heavy bulletproof helmet, you will still be penetrated, severely injured, and even killed. Even if the bullet can't penetrate the body armor and bulletproof helmet, the kinetic energy released will still shatter bones and break necks. When the time comes, the body will be whole, but the person will be dead.
From a certain point of view, the biggest role of things like body armor, bulletproof helmets, bulletproof underwear, etc., is not to defend against the frontal shot of bullets, but to prevent shrapnel flying from nowhere on the battlefield.
Attack is greater than defense, and you can see it.
Upgrading infantry to a higher level and turning it into combat vehicles, tanks, warplanes, and warships is pretty much the same. As long as the attacks of vehicles, tanks, warplanes, and warships can hit, there is a great chance that they will destroy targets of the same level.
This has led to the fact that in the battles on the modern earth, the principle of "first discovery and first destruction" is particularly emphasized, and once the first hand is taken, there is a great possibility of winning the battle.
The current battle in the wizarding world, brought to modern Earth, looks a bit magical: both sides of the attack seem to be fighting with weapons that are more than a generation behind.
The battle of a wizard's apprentice is like two men in armor, each holding a wooden stick and beating each other until they are exhausted.
The current battle between Eva and Somen is like two men sitting in a tank, controlling a musket or a small-caliber mortar firing at each other. 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 taking advantage of the inattention and hitting the opponent's fatal flaw, it is difficult to end the battle in a short time.
This way of fighting cannot be said to be stupid, it is likely that the current wizarding world has evolved after hundreds of years and thousands of years of development, and it is the result of the interaction between wizards in the entire world.
Perhaps it is in this way that wizards can develop a sufficient number, otherwise like the modern earth, "attack is greater than defense", the combat mortality rate of wizards is too high, and the overall number drops by more than an order of magnitude. It is difficult to say whether the wizard can become the ruling force of the current time, and it may be like the modern Earth Middle Ages, who will be burned at the stake by ordinary people.
Having said that, this style of combat may be reasonable and suitable for most people in the current world, but it is not the most powerful, and there is much room for improvement.
For Richard, if he were to fight, it wouldn't be like that.
Richard thought so, Eva and Somon had fought each other for more than a dozen rounds, and countless brilliant spells had been fought against each other, and the entire courtyard floor was in shambles, and the potholes were covered with traces of flames and wind blades.
And in the process, Eva actually took the advantage of the battle.
As Angel said before, Eva killed the teacher of the White Stone Tower, which should be true - Eva does have this strength.
Eva is obviously not an ordinary first-level wizard, it is likely to be the existence of the high-priced peak of a first-level wizard, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is stronger than Demps on the giant ship.
Richard thought.
At this time, Eva unleashed a new spell, causing a large amount of air to condense around her again, and then form a slender whip, and this whip was not one or two, seven or eight, or a dozen, but dozens.
The attack was almost overwhelming, constantly whipping the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
Shaping Wind-like Spells, One Ring High-Level, Wind Dance!
In the face of this attack, Somon had to re-prop up the flame shield he had once cast, and it was difficult to resist, resisting and retreating as he froze.
Eva's momentum grew, and her attacks grew stronger and stronger, slowly knocking Somen back into the corner.
Somen was a little embarrassed, and Mu Coni was hiding far away, with an expression of disinterest.
Eva glanced at Somen and Mukoni, her eyes burst into a ball of light, and she suddenly gave up her attack on Somen, slammed her feet, and the flying spell blessed her body, and her body slammed into the sky, ready to flee.
From the very beginning, Eva didn't believe much what Mu Coni said, after all, she didn't say anything when she saw her companion being killed, and she didn't believe anyone when she said it. And she's going to lose.
In fact, even if she has a certain advantage over Somon alone, it will be very difficult to defeat Somen. Even if he really defeated and killed Somen, he would no longer be able to fight against Mu Coni because of the excessive consumption. So, she has been planning a breakthrough, and now it seems that it is the best opportunity.
In a very short period of time, Eva's body had risen to a height of dozens of meters, and she was about to run away, when she suddenly seemed to hit some defensive shield, and she screamed "ah", and her body fell like a bird with broken wings.
Rao did some countermeasures when he fell, but the landing was still a "bang", smashing a pit in the courtyard.
"Wow!"
Eva spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly walked out of the pit, glaring at Somen and Mukne, "You guys!"
Suomen's face was expressionless, Mu Koni sneered, and mocked: "Hey, I said it, you honestly fight with Somen, this is your only way to survive, and if you have to run away, then I'm sorry."
You know, in places you can't see, I've done a lot of precautions, to prevent you from escaping, to prevent you from calling for help, to prevent you from deliberately making too much noise to attract flies from the White Stone Tower.
In short, you can't escape successfully.
Besides, I really want to ask you, are you stupid? Even if I didn't have the precautions I did, there were two of us wizards right here, and you used flying spells to escape right under our noses? Heh, as long as we reacted in time, it would be too easy to knock you down, right? You really don't know how to write dead words?"
Mukne's words are not an exaggeration, but a fact.
In the current wizarding world, although wizards can fly and fight, in most cases, they can not fly without flying.
The reason is very simple, flying into the air, the mana consumption becomes larger, and there are certain restrictions on dodging and moving, and the strength will be discounted to a certain extent.
Therefore, only when there is an absolute advantage in strength, under the premise of crushing strength, will it fly and attack. In a battle with peers, a forced lift-off 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 Somen and Mu Coni should not be able to react, so she took the risk of using flying spells to break through, who knows, Mu Coni has been on guard.
Really damn it!
