The powerful flare is an F-level alchemy product, a product related to pharmacy. Since the triggering method is inertial triggering through non-magic channels, it can be easily used by ordinary people. It is a typical simple alchemy prop.
It's just that few people would think of using this thing in this way. It's not like no one had a sudden idea in the past, but most of the actual combat records were not very successful. Fang Plover was actually deeply impressed by this thing during the battle at the Elf Ruins, so he tried making a few spare rounds in his hands before, but he didn't expect it to come in handy here.
He made a total of three rounds, but two of them were soaked in water during the previous rainy night battle and were not enough for use. The last round was kept on the hand crossbow for better protection, so it was saved.
His pharmacy level is not high, and the only things he can make are yellow-green light flares with a brightness of 250,000 candlepower and a duration of 25 seconds. But at such a close range, it can also have some of the effects of flash bombs.
And what’s even better than the flashbang is that although the latter has a strong light effect, it will trigger the light-resistance countermeasures of the magic goggles generally equipped by gunmen, plus the clear-eye resistance provided by the eagle eye skill of the long-range profession. sex, the effect is often worse.
The light source of powerful flares is long-lasting, and its light intensity is far from reaching the conditions for triggering the light-resistant countermeasures of magic goggles. As long as the light source is closer, it can have a miraculous effect on high-level characters in a dark environment.
In comparison, flash bombs only perform better in low-level battles.
Of course, he didn't expect this thing to completely paralyze the combat effectiveness of the opponent's long-range profession like the real blinding effect, but it was enough to reduce the opponent's shooting accuracy to a certain extent.
What's more, the flare also exposed the people of the Dragon Fire Guild to the light source, which may barely be regarded as an advantage but not an advantage.
It seemed to be to verify his hypothesis.
Then the opponent's shooting accuracy indeed dropped, and the ensuing third round of shooting became less targeted, with many bullets hitting the open space.
Only then did Hongye have the chance to raise his head and shout to the other party through gritted teeth: "You bastards from the Dragon Fire Guild, you actually colluded with the cultists. Don't you know that this violates the Stargate Declaration?"
What surprised Fang Yu was that he originally thought that given the size of the Dragon Fire Guild, these words would have an impact on the other party. Either fight back or retreat, but the person on the opposite side seems to have not heard it at all, and another round of bullets comes.
"These people are simply crazy!" Even recalling this, I couldn't help but curse in secret.
However, Fang Plover's flares obviously had the desired effect, and this round of attacks was also not accurate.
The pressure on the Tapolis knights in the front row dropped sharply, and the memories in the crowd also took the opportunity to issue an assault order. In order to prevent the people of the Dragon Fire Guild from judging his own intentions, he instead gave the order in the guild channel and at the same time sent a team invitation to Fang Plover and others.
After two rounds of shooting on the other side, the gunslinger commander of the Dragon Fire Guild obviously realized the problem. While ordering the gunners to maintain low-intensity shooting, he also asked these people to start adjusting the filtering conditions of the magic goggles in batches.
However, this kind of ancient magic goggles often requires manual adjustment. It may take some time to restore the previous firepower density after the adjustments are completed.
What makes the commander anxious is that although they still occupy the initiative on the battlefield, their tactical purpose is not just to 'take the initiative', but to prevent the opponent from escaping.
But now this damn flare has obviously caused them huge trouble.
He wanted to curse for a moment, who came up with such an evil idea - using flares as flash bombs, of course, is not enough to make these damn Tapolis Knights turn defeat into victory - but when used to escape, it is simply It couldn't be more suitable.
"Have someone go up and cover the light source." At this time, Twenty's voice came from the side.
The commander looked at the latter. That person was the assassin who had fought against Fang Pliance once. He nodded quickly, knowing that this person was the confidant of the 'eldest sister', and the former was the girlfriend of the guild president, not He can afford to be offended.
Besides, this is indeed a solution.
However, as soon as the first person sent out approached the flare, they were pinned to the ground by arrows one by one. Only then did the two of them remember that there was a Nighthawk Selector opposite.
Seeing this scene, Twenty couldn't help but shut his mouth, unable to find any good solution.
Although the people from the Dragon Fire Guild who participated in this operation were all core members and elites of the guild, their average level was naturally much higher than that of the two main groups in Tapolis, and due to their calculations and unintentional intentions, they also had more manpower.
But it would be a joke to find a member of the brigade with a higher level than the Nighthawk who recalled.
The Nighthawk selector was from the "Unicorn" brigade of the Oak Knights. The Dragon Fire Guild didn't even have its own brigade yet, but it had a prototype. In fact, Twenty himself was one of the preliminary members of this prototype. But when it comes to being compared to a 'unicorn', he still has this self-awareness.
The battles in the fantasy world these days all illustrate this point. If it weren't for the elusive Nighthawk, how could the people of Tapolis have been able to defend Gray Oak Square with their overall disadvantage in strength and manpower.
"Inform those people." Twenty glanced at the 'eldest sister' who was losing her temper not far away and said to the commander.
"But, twenty, who are..."
"This is what the eldest sister means."
The latter was stunned for a moment, sighed, and then nodded.
On the other side, Fang Yu accepted the invitation from Memories to form a team amidst the hustle and bustle, and only then did he have time to check on the injured people around him.
The injured person was Etila. The elf girl had her eyes closed tightly. She looked seriously injured and was almost in a semi-conscious state of collapse. He groped for Aitila's blood-stained waist with his hands, but could not find the injury for a while, only one hand was stained with blood.
Fang Yu looked at the dazzling red on his palms, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a moment. He seemed to think of Miss Scarpe, and felt extremely nervous. He called Etila's name twice in a low voice, but received no response.
Fang Yu stayed for a moment, then gritted his teeth and picked up the elf girl. Since he was unable to check her injuries for a while, he could only take her away from this place first.
There was also a message from the memory, which said that everyone should evacuate along the left side of the city hall, which is the direction of Hagerstown Cemetery. This idea coincided with him.
In fact, due to the effect of the flares, after the pressure on the front line was relieved, the knights of Tapolis finally had the opportunity to form a horizontal formation, using a square shield wall to cover others and rush out of the city hall.
Then under the command of the memory, they launched a short charge towards the Dragon Fire Guild, forcing the other party to retreat temporarily. With this retreat, the Gray Oak Knights opened a hole in the encirclement and began to break out from the flank.
The people of the Dragon Fire Guild also seemed to realize that the suppression had failed. While they ordered the gunmen to retreat, they also asked another regiment to join the battle, trying to drag everyone in Tapolis back to where they were.
"They are Meniz's double swordsmen." Hongye understood the opponent's tactical intentions as soon as he saw the costumes of those people: "They want to drag us here, we can't fight with them."
Memories nodded to her approvingly.
The dual swordsman born in Meniz has the characteristics of both defense and offense. He is the king of close-range combat. He is often called a "flea" by heavy armor selectors - because there is really nothing he can do against the opponent. When fighting against non-precision professions, the Dual Swordsman is even known as a tank that is not a tank.
The so-called tank is also a term used in past virtual games. It generally refers to those professions that absorb damage in the front row.
Use it to describe a lightly armored melee agility character, whose survivability can be imagined.
Needless to say, the Gaelin Iron Guard.
Kaolin people often joke that the Gaelin Guard is a leftover from the Great Wall of Eldron, which means that the Gaelin Guard is like a piece of granite used to build the Great Wall and is just perfect for blocking the road.
The regiment of the Dragon Fire Guild was passing through the ranks of gunslingers that were receding like a tide. Among them, the faster-moving double swordsmen separated from the Gaelin Iron Guards and quickly passed through the forest. His intention was obvious, which was to stop Fang Plover and others right in front of them before they broke through.
Memories turn around.
Fang Yu saw the firelight reflected in the sky in front of him, and there were mottled blood stains on the corners of his eyebrows. He had not had time to wipe them off, and his expression was a little cold.
Since they had considered the possible obstruction of the Dragon Fire Guild when formulating the plan, they had actually anticipated such a scene.
But Memories looked at him and slowly said: "Ed, do you know? Hongye had a private conversation with me after returning from Traveler's Rest."
Fang Yu held Miss Elf in his arms and looked at him in confusion.
"She admires your talent in combat craftsmanship very much, and even thinks that you are not inferior to the geniuses of the younger generation of the Grand Guild."
"Captain..." Hongye shouted a little embarrassedly: "How could I say it so openly?"
But the memory didn't listen to her and only looked at Fang Plover.
Fang Plover frowned. He just thought that the other party's remarks meant that he wanted to join the Oak Knights.
But he actually had already made his own decision in his heart——
However, the memory paused for a moment, and then she said: "However, she thinks you are not suitable for those big guilds -"
Fang Yu was stunned and looked at the red leaves in the distance with some curiosity: "Why?"
The memory gave a different answer: "Do you know the origin of the Knights?"
"you?"
Memories nodded, glanced at the dual swordsmen of the Dragon Fire Guild in the distance, and said: "You should know that the two major divisions of the Aitaria Guild, behind them represent the alliance guilds of major groups and super clubs in reality—— The Super Competitive Alliance is the Free Chosen Alliance, a once-insignificant free guild."
"Of course, today, the distinction between the two has gradually been bridged, and the real Free League was officially merged into the Super Competitive League system seven years ago."
"But the difference is always there -"
He then turned around and said to the knights beside him: "Guys, why are we fighting?"
The knights looked at each other and laughed.
The memory also smiled and shook his head: "Then, I leave it to you."
A dozen knights stepped forward together, took the two-handed sword from their companions, and then handed over their original weapons and valuable equipment to others, and then said goodbye to their familiar friends.
No one was pessimistic. They only punched each other, and there was even a hint of ridicule in their expressions: "Don't let me down."
Then they turned around one by one, holding the sword in both hands and looking forward.
Fang Yu only held Aitila and looked at the backs of these people - in this era full of fantasy and adventure, different people seem to be chasing different dreams, but the only thing that is the same is that people still have the same heart. Passionate, fearless and pursuing oneself.
This optimistic and free spirit seems to constitute the temperament of the pioneers of this era, writing countless responsibilities and ideals above the stars.
The knights raised their swords high and shouted in unison: "Oak toughness, let's advance together and retreat together!"
Then move forward bravely and face an enemy several times larger than yourself.
Memories silently watched this scene, watching as the offensive edge formed by the dual swordsmen of the Dragon Fire Guild gradually blunted, and then was blocked, entangled with the knights of Tapolis, and became a mess.
"Each of us fights for our own free will, and is therefore brought together." He turned around and answered word by word: "The Free Chosen decide their own destiny because they are unwilling to succumb to the great power." The oppression of the guild is also the origin of the Knights.”
"Ed, Hongye told me that you should be on the same side as us." The memory replied: "What do you think?"
Fang Plover looked at the backs of those knights with some admiration.
Indeed, the grace displayed by those people was the reason why he came to this world.
But not all -
He turned around and replied to the other party: "Indeed, because of some things, I was generally biased against the great guilds of Aitalia. You corrected my view. Not all guilds are like this. Thank you, Brother Memories, And red leaves.”
But he shook his head again, thinking of his own promise: "But. I have my own way."
"Okay," Hongye glared at him angrily: "You are so brazen, do you think the Knights are begging you to join?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He always felt that he had heard this before.
The situation on the battlefield is changing——
The commander of the Dragon Fire Guild is feeling overwhelmed. The high level of loyalty and morale of the Free Guild has always been one of the most enviable things of the major clubs. But it is enviable, that kind of extraordinary sense of belonging and ownership is indeed not something that ordinary business guilds and clubs can give.
Maybe, but very few.
He could only watch helplessly as one of his regiments was disrupted by the opponent's desperate charge, while taking advantage of the fact that he had far more manpower than the opponent, he tried to allocate part of his manpower to continue to implement the original tactical goal.
It's just that the battle has reached this point, and the forest is already in chaos. The people in front block the view of those behind, making it impossible to judge the situation.
Not to mention that there are countless undead in the forest, and they are either with the Dragon Fire Guild or the same people. The living and the undead are inherently opposed. Although the Golden Dragon can try to control Dolifen's resentful soul, it is difficult to suppress it. Their instinct is driven by negative energy.
As a result, the people of the Dragon Fire Guild and the knights of Tapolis were separated by the undead and entangled with these ghost armies. In the end, it was the latter who were well prepared to break out of the encirclement first.
Fang Plover and others walked through the forest. When they looked back, there was still a bustling scene in the direction of the battlefield. However, the city hall in the woods only had a spire above the tree crown. Against the backdrop of the firelight on the horizon, The marble spire is golden and red.
The undead were still gathering from all directions, forming a mighty torrent behind them.
Whenever they were about to form a circle in front of them, the memory allowed Parker and another crossbowman to use explosive shots to prevent them from closing. It didn't take long for Papalar and another crossbowman to run out of ammunition.
After a few minutes of this, everyone saw a fence appearing in front of them.
Hongye took out the map and looked at it, then said to the others: "Then behind is Hagerstown Cemetery!"
But no one said anything.
Although there is Hostings Cathedral through the cemetery area, they have not yet encountered the Dragon Cultists. The situation seems to be a little wrong. No one dares to guarantee that they will be able to reach that place before the other party.
What's more, although the people from the Dragon Fire Guild failed to keep them, they should have captured the city hall. Counting all the scenes of Dolifen's three objects have been activated by the opponent.
They could only hope that Fang Plover's inference was reliable.
But the hope is very slim.
Fang Yu was walking to the front with Aitila in his arms, and his face didn't look good either. He carefully examined Attila's injuries. The bullet hit her lower abdomen. The wound was torn deeply and looked ferocious.
There was blood once before, but it had dried up and formed a crust of blood on the wheat-colored skin.
Tianlan and Jita's worries were also palpable: "Brother Ed, sister Aitila, is she okay?"
Fang Yu shook his head.
He has already found a healer to treat Miss Elf's wounds, but although Aitalia has Mirela, the goddess of life and healing, with miraculous healing abilities, it is not omnipotent.
The healer told him that he had to remove the bullet first before he could heal the wound, but there was no such time and conditions here. The other party could only slow down the flow of life for Attila and use false life to maintain her vitality.
Looking at this scene, he comforted him: "Don't worry, she should be able to hold on for a while. And her starlight is very abundant, even the worst case scenario... is not unacceptable."
He sighed, his tone less optimistic than expected.
