Scout warfare, before the two armies fought, the scouts on both sides did everything in order to occupy the reconnaissance advantage, which was no less than the battle on the frontal battlefield.

――Excerpt from "Essays of Ling Zikai"

The two halfling NPC classes have been thrown far away by the edges and qi.

Prismatic Herlands and the angry Fairy Dragon entered the lava terrain.

The mobs below the camp along the way were easily eliminated by Herranth and the Fairy Dragon, without causing any trouble to Rimzi and Qi.

The trouble is that in lava terrains, the +1 agility bonus on Herlands' grass home terrain is invalidated, and it slows down the march speed by 25% due to the lava terrain, but the effect of the primary pathfinding technique from Jia Linfan is reflected, and the primary pathfinding negates the effect of the lava terrain on Herlands.

But in this way, the agility difference with the angry fairy dragon has increased a little more, and the angry fairy dragon needs a larger broken line to keep moving parallel to Herlance!

It was precisely because the angry fairy dragon increased the range of the broken line that Lingzi discovered another abnormality in front of him!

……

As a vanguard general, the vanguard led by Aberon has a lot of NPC cavalry troops under his command, but the overall speed of its action is not fast, it should be said that it is very slow.

From the perspective of NPC setting,It should be a cautious general.,Objectively,It's happy for the player who chose him.,Greatly reducing the possibility of being ambushed by NPCs.,However,I saw the NPC Jia Linfan's players who walked with Aberon.,One by one, they came back to report.、Receive rewards、Obtain honor points,Many players who chose Aberon can't sit still.,Many scattered players overtook the slow-marching NPC troops.,Go to the front of the queue.,Try to kill a few wild monsters., Earn Honor Points!

However, they acted too late, and all the wild monsters around the vanguard were cleaned up by Jia Linfan's players when they were doing scout missions!

Even before the two armies actually fought, scouts had already begun to play their important role: opening mountains and rivers, mapping roads, and scouting the enemy......

Destroying the wild monsters along the way is naturally a matter for scouts!

Continuing the slow march forward, most of the scout troops had already returned, and the vanguard had finally arrived, the junction of lava and meadow.

In front of the NPCs and players is a temporary defense base of the Hell camp standing alone in a black and red land.

Seeing the black Hell Defense Stronghold, the most surprised were those scout players under the command of Jia Lin Fan, obviously many people had come to scout here, why didn't they find a stronghold here at that time, and a stronghold appeared after the report?!

This stronghold seems to have appeared out of nowhere!

Aberon immediately gave the order to open up the formation, and the NPC troops and player troops began to prepare for the siege in front of the black volcanic rock stronghold!

……

In this black volcanic stronghold of the Hell camp, which seems to appear out of thin air, there are two heroes, one is the epic fire monster hero of the Hell camp, Cyril who specializes in hell flame magic; The other is the epic human pagan hero of the Hell camp, Olima.

Olema is a human who lives in this area all year round, has a certain magical ability, and usually has a lot of intersections with halflings, and is very familiar with the human in this area, but when the Legan people of the Hell camp invaded this area, Olima actually recommended himself to the demon as a guide to help the demon sweep away the rebels in the area.

To put it bluntly, Olima and the traitor who was a lackey of the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War mean the same thing!

And this black volcanic rock stronghold, thanks to Olima's advice and help Cyril, was able to appear out of thin air and be built all at once!

The monk who participated in the battle of the Hell camp is currently under the command of Cyril.

Seeing the construction process of the black volcanic rock stronghold, the monk was amazed, it turned out that the city could be built like this, and the programmer was also very desperate, and even such a method of building a city could be imagined, in the world of swords and magic, physical phenomena also existed?!

However, it is only on the battlefield in the world of swords and sorcery that such a scene can be realized and the goal of surprise can be achieved, right?!

In this way, during the Warring States period of Japan, Kinoshita Toyoshiro, who began to show his talent because of the construction of the one-night castle, his method of building the walled city is really a little weak!

This black volcanic rock stronghold is a stronghold of Cyril, who is proficient in the flames of hell and has a deep knowledge of flames, and uses the flames of hell to directly melt the main terrain of the hell camp - the lava ground into magma, and then the sultan fire monsters and fire monsters under the command of Cyril channel the magma into a hell-style city stronghold, and finally the water source summoned by the magic power of Olima's water system is poured on the magma to cool the magma and make it into volcanic rock, and it is instantly formed!

The entire construction process of the stronghold did not take one night at all.

No wonder there are so many player scouts in the Templar camp who have not found the existence of this stronghold!

Outside the Black Volcanic Rock Stronghold, the NPC and player forces from the Templar faction have arrived, and they are preparing to attack the city!

……

The cavalry of the Templars were not good at siege warfare.

Although the agility of the Templar's cavalry is relatively high, since it is a ground force, it is a disadvantage for siege warfare!

Even if you rush to the city at the first time, you can't directly output, you can only be blocked by the city wall and moat and outside the city, and you can only attack the city when the catapult opens the gap in the city wall!

The NPC cavalry units brought by Aberon were deployed to the flanks of the overall formation, and Aberon issued an order to the player troops, ordering them to vacate the position of the central array.

Players are now subordinates, and if they don't obey orders, they will be forced to deduct honor points, and can only obey the orders of NPC Aberon.

As soon as the players relinquished their central positions, a large number of NPC Axe Lancers and Marksmen were deployed from the rear of the troops!

There was a reason for Aberon's slow march in the past, but these axemen and marksmen with very low agility were dragging their feet, and at the time, many players complained that Aberon's AI was too pitiful.

Now, it seems that Aberon is a very good commander for the player, as he doesn't let the player's troops act as the first wave of siege troops to consume the enemy!

Instead, let the NPC's axemen and marksmen act as cannon fodder for the first wave!
