War is always crazy and fierce. The contact between players and crab crocodiles still starts with the method summarized before.
The long-range attacks of the player team once again began to intensively cover the area where the crab crocodiles were located, and this time they also felt the changes and differences in the monsters. When the NPC ordered the mission, they quickly joined forces with some cleverness.
The total number of people in the two or three teams was seven or eight hundred. Whether they were archers, magicians, or other long-range players, they began to fire intensively. The firepower became more concentrated, but it was aimed at a small area. area, that is where the elite commanders of Crab Crocodile are located.
Players are not fools. They naturally know that the new monsters that appear should be the focus of their attacks. Once the commander is eliminated, the next battle will definitely become much simpler.
However, they had greatly underestimated the elite commanders of these crab-crocodiles. They saw the lips of those elite crab-crocodile commanders trembling rapidly, and the dense crab language that sounded like insects had appeared, and everyone could hear it clearly. But no one could understand them, but then they understood their purpose and meaning.
Some particularly strong and tall crab crocodiles around the crab crocodiles, like Transformers, combined to form a hemispherical shield, protecting the elite crab crocodile commanders from countless attacks. There was a loud crackling sound on the body, but when the attack landed on it, there was only some sound. As for the damage, at most it was just some magic attacks that made the shells of those crab crocodiles a little black.
At the same time, the melee players at the front had already rushed over, and they had no chance to stop. Even if they discovered the remote players later, they could not turn around without causing any substantial damage to the enemy. Because once they stop, they will block the advancement of the soldiers at the rear and cause more serious chaos to the entire team.
A violent collision occurred directly at this time. The players held shields and rushed towards the crab crocodiles like wild bulls. The result can be imagined. Once these strong crab crocodiles formed a formation, It is definitely not something that the players can resist.
In just an instant, the oncoming players were knocked off their feet, and then they were not given any chance to react. The elite crab crocodile commander had already conveyed his meaning under the mysterious crab language. , that is to kill these humans, leaving no one behind.
The crab crocodile in front did not move, but the crab crocodile behind jumped up like a frog, then stepped over the crab crocodile in the front row, and sent the sharp blade in the crab claws into the players' bodies without any hindrance. After clearing the players' blood tanks, the corpses of the players lay coldly in front of these crab crocodiles.
Even though the following players have stopped, the Crab Crocodile that rushed out has already carried out the next wave of attacks. The roar with a wide attack range has appeared. The players are dizzy and their health volume continues to decrease, but Before they could resist, the sharp blades in the crab's claws had already harvested their lives.
It can be said to be a clean and tidy battle. All the melee combatants were completely wiped out within a few seconds. As for the assassins who followed the melee players and then found a place to prepare for a fatal blow. Players, the result is not much better, because the surrounding crab crocodiles have already pressed up, no one can escape at all, and no matter how well they hide, as long as they are approached by the crab crocodiles, they will not end well, and once they dare to If you move around, those crabs and crocodiles will chase you, making it impossible for you to escape. Of course, there are some lucky ones, but those are just the lucky ones.
The fate of long-range players has also been doomed. Without the obstruction of melee players in front, those crab crocodiles can attack more unscrupulously, allowing those professional players, whether they are mages or archers, to be easily eliminated. After all, long-range players The characteristic that most players have in common is that they are all crispy and can be damaged by just scraping them twice, let alone being stabbed by the sharp blade in the crab claws.
Although the distance between those remote players and these crab crocodiles is still a few hundred meters, this is not a real distance to anyone. The speed of the crab crocodiles charging quickly is quite fast. Don't look at them. Each of them looks like a heavily armored warrior, but once the speed picks up, they really come and go like the wind.
The remote player simply ran for a few seconds and was chopped down to the ground by the crab crocodile chasing after him. In less than a minute, all the player teams that came to test had been cleared away by the crab crocodile.
Seeing such a scene, all the players were stunned. It was true that some of the monster spawners were counter-killed, but such a high-efficiency combination was beyond the reach of even the players. Such a battle could only be accomplished by a team of extremely elite players. It's really unbelievable that the things he did are now shown on the monster.
After all, even when players were in the old continent, when they were hunting some human plot monsters, most of them were bandits and bandits. Even though they were fierce, it was really rare to see them cooperate so closely. Yes, after all, when encountering such bandits and robbers, players not only need to cooperate, but also must rely on numerical superiority to resolve the battle, otherwise they will die as many as possible.
The current situation is not like this. The number of crabs and crocodiles is many times greater than the number of players. Originally, I could gain local advantages through tactics. I thought of using local advantages to expand the results and eat them bit by bit. The Crab Crocodiles, although there are many of them, are always manageable with a little time.
But according to the current situation, it is reversed. The players are probably going to be eaten by these crab crocodiles. As for the time, it should not be too long. After all, even if the players resist, it will be difficult to affect these crab crocodiles. With the pace of advancement, who made people change their tactics and still have the advantage in numbers?
Faced with such a crab crocodile, the NPC commander did not let the players resist. After all, dying in a meaningless battle is an idiot's behavior. Ozarks immediately ordered the player legion to start retreating, and at the same time let the remote players among them release as much as possible. Long-range firepower suppresses the Crab Crocodile's offensive momentum and prevents the Legion from being entangled.
Then he ordered some melee players at the end of the team to withdraw from the legion sequence and attack the Crab Crocodile's formation. They used their own sacrifices to buy time for the legion's retreat and delay the Crab Crocodile's attack rhythm and pace.
Hundreds of thousands of players were sent out in several groups. Ossax showed no mercy at all. People will always die in wars. It would be best to win without killing people. However, the current situation had to be done. I have no choice but to cut off my tail to survive.
And at the same time, he has informed the emperor at the rear about the situation here, and will take the adventurers back to Expedition No. 3 Harbor for repairs. The rest of the matter will require the elite of the aboriginal people to come out to solve the problem. Who will let them These adventurers may no longer be able to deal with these crab crocodiles. If they don't send their own people, they may be attacked by these new monsters in Expedition No. 3 Port.
"It seems that these monsters are difficult to deal with!" Alfred said seriously as he looked at An Xie's advancing Crab Crocodile.
However, Li Coster, who was next to him, did not think so, and said with some disdain, "It's just that those adventurers don't know how to cooperate. These adventurers are only suitable for some one-on-one battles. Such large-scale Legion operations are still a little green. This time, we encountered these guys who know how to cooperate very well, so we couldn’t deal with them. If it were our people, such a thing would never happen!"
Although the other emperors around him didn't say anything, they nodded in agreement, obviously having great confidence in the NPC's legion.
Alfred just smiled. Although he said so, he also thought so in his heart. The previous monsters were just that, and they could always be consumed by the adventurers, but this time the monster was... They know how to cooperate very well. Not only do they have an advantage in numbers, but this also makes it difficult for the adventurers to deal with it easily. What also makes him somewhat helpless is that these adventurers have been here for more than two years and have experienced so many battles. But they will never be able to truly participate in large-scale legion operations. The battle of a small team is okay, and there is no problem with a few hundred people, but as long as the number exceeds a thousand, cooperation is a mess.
It can be said that these adventurers are free and loose, but once an order is given, these guys will work hard to complete it, and they are very serious. But as long as they form a legion, it will become chaotic. It is not a mess, but if they want to be able to command like an arm, That was also a dream. During the breaks in the war, it was not that people were not trained to train adventurers, but the result was that the veterans who were best at training soldiers complained bitterly and were unwilling to take over these adventurers.
This is why in two years, the legion of adventurers can only play a role in large-scale battles and cannot engage in decisive battles. In fact, this is the nature of the players. Since they know Esgaia The world is a game, and it is natural to have fun playing it. If you are restrained too much, you will definitely feel unhappy. If you want to train them, it is of course very simple in the real world. After all, all humans in the Earth Star Alliance have served in the military. Yes, no matter whether they were in front-line combat units or logistics civilian personnel when they joined the army, they all had strong obedience.
But in the game, if you want to command them well, it's just a dream. Unless you really bring the generals and marshals from the real world in to command, it's simply impossible.
…
"The rear legions attack!" Alfred thought for a moment and quickly issued a new order, which was to send out the NPC legions in the rear.
His order also represents the will of the entire Emperor. The NPC legions behind the players quickly took action, and then immediately stepped out of the protective shield of Expedition No. 3 Harbor, and that is when they left At the same time as the expedition to Port 3, the players had also returned.
They ran very fast. Although they were very unwilling to do so, they could only reluctantly admit that they were not suitable for such a large-scale legion-level battle. Rather than die in a meaningless battle, it would be better to return to Expedition 3. Harbor, maybe it can also play some other roles.
The melodious horn of the NPC legion sounded quickly. As dozens of legions advanced in an orderly manner, a large amount of combat materials also began to be transported to the front. War equipment quickly gathered at the outermost edge of Expedition No. 3 Harbor, and then began to be commanded. The officials distributed them according to the orders of the superiors, so that these war materials could exert their maximum effect when necessary.
