The training days are as usual, monotonous and fulfilling. While sweating, it also makes people feel at ease.
After all, we are still staying at home. The conditions in all aspects are incomparable to those in the wild. And no matter how much we harvest, we never waste our days, which is enough to make people feel at ease.
In the second stage of combat instinct training, there is no clear dividing line between success and failure. Just like combat skill training, it is also a process of continuous accumulation, but there are also some people who suddenly become enlightened and make obvious progress.
During the battle training in the past few days, Mo Bei, probably tired of squeezing his brain cells, actually changed his previous cautious offensive and defensive style and began to let himself go.
The excuse he gave himself was: Everyone has areas in which they are not good at, and he does not necessarily have to be the leader in everything.
He had to concentrate on the calculations between offense and defense, and he was always a little constrained during the fight, which made him feel very unhappy, so he simply got lazy and started to deal with it as he pleased.
It was true that he was tortured a bit miserably by his friends at the beginning, but he didn't care much and just treated it as a sparring partner for everyone. However, after two or three days, the situation changed significantly, and even completely reversed.
He actually started to fight against his friends in turn, and the gap was getting wider and wider. It was so tricky that he even wondered if the others were just like him, starting to get lazy.
It wasn't until he endured dozens of rounds under Serina without being knocked down that he finally realized that he had really become stronger.
In fact, after this period of training, he and several others have already gained a certain understanding of the second stage of combat instinct, and are subconsciously guiding themselves in that direction.
In this state, he became no longer rigid in order to be lazy, and his thinking lost the messy feeling of stagnation and became clearer.
Even he himself found it incredible that such an unexpected effect could occur.
However, a few days passed in a flash, and he and Akali still made no progress in their attempts at halo fusion. He didn't know if it was because they were always half-hearted during training.
All in all, they had been in Lugaoyin for half a month, during which time Jehain sent someone to deliver some ham, which was said to be Ernstinger's specialty.
Mo Bei didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after cutting the ham open, he saw that the meat was bright in color and as shiny as jade. It felt that it was not inferior to the Iberian ham he had seen before, and it was even more delicious after tasting it. , marveling that there is such delicious food in this world, no wonder Jie Hain specially asked someone to deliver it.
Ernstinger is built among high mountains and borders the Salva Forest, so it is indeed suitable for making this kind of food. It seems that the pigs there are as top-quality ingredients as the chickens in Kurast Seaport!
Thinking of the best ingredients, he immediately went to the sea to fish out some sea urchins and sent them to the palace, and told him several ways to eat them.
Lu Gaoyin residents only fish for shrimps, but they allow these seaweed-eating spiny balls to roam free from the diet, which has caused them to overrun. If this continues, the already not abundant fishery will probably be lost. will continue to shrink.
And if such delicious food is not promoted, it would be a waste of resources.
However, when he met with Jehain this time, he heard some unfavorable battle conditions reported from the north.
A strange projectile device appeared in the bloody hills outside the city of Harrogas and in some monster camps on the Arreat Plateau. It looked like a combination of a monster and a trebuchet. It not only had an amazing range, but also had an incredible power. Very strong, putting huge pressure on Harrogas' defense.
When Mo Bei first heard this, he was stunned for a minute before he came back to his senses.
It turns out that there has always been something like this over there?
At that time, he thought of the drawings he found in the metal treasure house, and they felt very similar to the projectile device described by Jehain.
He had already given the drawing to the Mages Guild, pointing out that they could make some improvements based on the drawing, which might be used at some point.
Unexpectedly, Barr's monster army was equipped with this kind of siege device first. How did it come about?
It seems that the relationship between the three demon gods and the four demon kings is not as disharmonious as in the legend. This is obviously because Billie brought the drawings collected by Sadenko Cathedral back to hell and had a PY with Baal. trade.
It is reasonable to think about it. Even if the seven lords of hell, who are born out of various negative emotions, dislike each other, they cannot be truly hostile or fight on their own. Otherwise, how can they form a stalemate in heaven.
And that kind of magic energy projectile machine needs to absorb the power of demons. If it falls into Baal's hands, it will provide a powerful weapon for his demon army.
Mo Bei wasn't sure how long Bilie had been lurking in Isidor's body, but he thought it couldn't be too short. So Bilie definitely didn't get the blueprint just now, but the magic projectile was in Haloga until recently. Si appeared there, is this a coincidence or is there some other reason?
"Are those siege engines all entities?"
"Not exactly. They are made from a worm-like monster, fused with various waste materials on the battlefield and even wood and stones. Therefore, they have no fixed shape, and the attacks they project have different attributes."
"That's okay..."
"It's really hard to understand. It is said that those worm monsters can even fuse steel fragments together. They seem rough, but they are also quite strong. The only drawback is probably that the hit rate is very poor and they cannot move. But if it hits the target, it will still It can create a suppressive effect. So in addition to dealing with various monsters, the adventure team over there also has to compete with them for various discarded materials."
Mo Bei imagined the scene in his mind and felt a little overwhelmed.
This is starting to harden the wall and clear the country. . That's Baal's demon army. . . Is it so hard and simple?
"When I learned the news, I also thought about using airships for air suppression, but the cold wind in the Arreat Mountains was too strong and the wind direction was changeable. It would be difficult to control the airship there, and we also lacked the ability to carry it. An effective means of attack on the airship..." Jie Hain also sighed helplessly.
Mo Bei opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
Explosives that can be mass-produced cannot directly kill even members of the Wizarding Guild of more than 30 levels, and that kind of magic projectile is considered quite strong even by the career changers from Harrogas. It is obviously a weapon. It doesn't work.
The most important thing is that the worm monster will continue to regenerate, and the bloody hills are full of damaged horses and abandoned camps. It can be said that there are materials everywhere.
Not to mention that airships are difficult to control there. With the extremely limited number at present, the effect they can play is only a drop in the bucket. They might also be attacked and crashed by monsters with the ability to fly, resulting in additional casualties.
"How bad is the situation?" Mo Bei asked.
"Many adventurous teams that have gone deep into the mountains have returned to Harrogas. Currently, this is the only way to check and balance the emerging forces of hell. However, as time goes by, problems may arise in other areas as well." Jie Hai After he finished speaking, he seemed to have guessed Mo Bei's thoughts, so he asked:
"You want to go for reinforcements?"
"I have this idea."
Mo Bei nodded and admitted that the high-level Wizard Guild team they had killed before was almost confirmed to have sneaked back from Harrogas. From this point of view, he felt that he should be able to deal with the monsters over there.
