Chapter 38: The Right Way To Fight A Mage
Chapter 38 The correct fighting style of the mage
“What the **** did you see?”
“Yo, yokai! A lot of yokai! All of a sudden, all of them are in the mountains…”
“Does it all happen today? When did it appear, did you find any signs in advance?”
“It’s a monster! A lot of monsters…and a snake! What a big snake!”
“So you just fled down the mountain? What about the other people on the mountain, how are they?”
“No, I don’t know, there are so many monsters, we can’t do anything about it, the monsters appeared in the mountains all of a sudden…”
Looking at the soldier in front of him who seemed to be frightened, his face was pale, his speech was stuttering, and his body was shaking, Gu Mo finally couldn’t help pulling the corner of his mouth, and then waved his hand, feeling a little helpless with a headache. commanded-
“Take him down and have a good rest, I guess he’s frightened.”
This was the first person who escaped from the mountain and reported the news about the demon’s disturbance in the Viper God Realm. He was originally a soldier guarding Saito Dozo’s mansion, but now he seems to be scared to death. Gu Mo was originally I was wondering if I could ask for some useful information.
After all, he didn’t think that those things would grow out of the ground. Even the ghosts attracted by the spirit stones should have some signs in advance, and there was no problem for so long before, and Saito Dosan was not. I’m just now starting to collect spirit stones.
Since there have been no problems before, it means that the viper’s confidentiality measures are still well done, but such a change has suddenly occurred recently… Well, even if it is due to the butterfly effect brought by itself, this explanation is not inevitable. Too general.
If it goes back to the specific reasons, Gu Mo is even more suspicious of whether there are other changes on the mountain recently, or if it is like those routine movies, which used to be good before, but recently someone has made a taboo.
However, the result of the questioning was also seen.
I don’t know if it’s really scary enough, or what, anyway, this soldier will only repeat the machine when he comes and goes… To sum up – there are indeed ghosts, but only know that there are ghosts on the mountain to make trouble, as for the specific What happened, how many ghosts were there, what happened to the others on the mountain…
emmmm, I don’t know anything about this.
The situation is such a situation, and the specific situation depends on the situation.
“Master Gu Mo, what should we do now… Should we provoke people immediately and go up the mountain to have a look?” On the side, Toujiro watched the soulless soldier being taken down, he whispered worriedly, wanting to ask someone Views.
Although because of Gu Mo’s insistence, the monkey also climbed up the pole in order to get close to the relationship, and usually called very close, but it was only verbally close, and the proper etiquette and distance were not ambiguous at all. And when in front of people like this, even the title will be corrected consciously.
On weekdays, you can have a relationship, but you can’t overdo it. Otherwise, even if the other party really doesn’t care, he can’t help the jealousy and criticism of other caring people… Tokichiro is very experienced in this, he has suffered like this before. .
After all, he wasn’t born to be a spirit stone merchant, and he didn’t start his career until today. In his early years, he was already wandering in Owari, Mikawa, Suruga and other places, as a ronin who sought the position of a samurai. Activities, and later successfully entered the gate of Matsushita Kabei of the Far River Country.
Because he is a very smart person, he works diligently and takes the initiative to introvert. Naturally, he is quickly seen by the master and is highly valued. Jiabingwei really likes this clever monkey and is willing to support him… But the master Valued but not worth the jealousy of caring people—
Although Kabei has repeatedly protected him, when more and more retainers slandered and slandered him, he was forced to give up him under pressure.
When was fired, Monkey didn’t even know what happened, and it was Kabei’s kind and helpless explanation that made him understand that he was only trying his best to introvert at the time. To this day, he is very grateful to Kabei for his repeated protection and support at that time. He has also learned from experience and lessons, and has become more sophisticated and smooth in some aspects.
“This… no rush.”
Gu Mo looked up at the sky, probably because most of the sunset had sunk behind the mountains in the west, and now the sky was gradually dimming. This was the last moment of dusk, and the moment before night was about to fall. After a while it will be completely dark.
“It’s very late today. It’s not safe to drive at night, let alone explore the mountains. Let’s leave tomorrow morning.”
Toujiro opened his mouth, then nodded with a bitter face.
Although he was very anxious, the other party also made a lot of sense. Demons are not afraid because there are too many people. They will only get excited because there are more prey. Obviously they are not beasts without wisdom, but in some aspects, But more terrifying than beasts that act on instinct and experience.
In contrast to the human side, night battles are not a home field advantage worth playing. In broad daylight, inexperienced soldiers will panic in the face of ghosts, let alone at night with limited visibility. The battlefield is an intricate mountain environment l
Unless you can gather a large army to sweep over it, otherwise, the number of people will be slightly smaller. This plan of going up the mountain overnight will not only solve the problem, but will only deliver supper to the ghosts…
“Let’s prepare first, we’ll set off early tomorrow morning.” Gu Mo sighed, a new scene was about to start, but it seemed that his ability growth was not enough.
Compared to when the scene of Thirteen Cherry Blossoms ended, how much have you grown now?
—Strength attribute increased by one point…
—An additional guardian spirit like an air friend…
—Accurately mastered the two onmyoji spell skills, as well as some skills that are not yet proficient in the study, and also have a certain understanding of the basic skills of swords…
Well, it seems like that. Gu Mo, who was searching his stomach, suddenly became a little worried. This kind of growth seems to be untenable. He thought about it for a while, then turned around and walked into the house, leaving behind Tokichiro and the local officials who had been working in Lushan Castle to help manage the city.
They all looked worried, their brows were furrowed and their faces were unknowingly wrinkled into a bitter face, after all, this was a disaster.
…
The next morning.
The Sun Also Rises.
Not long after Chaoyang leaped over the horizon, a team that had been ready for a long time left the city and headed straight into the mountain. The number was not particularly large, but they were all experienced elites, not a single recruit, and everything that could be equipped was equipped. .
Like armor, iron cannons, etc. Of course, iron cannons are not cannons, but the name for arquebuses in this Warring States period.
Gu Mo is not familiar with the history of the Warring States Period, and he doesn’t know whether it is the plane deviation of this world or what, but at this time, this type of musket has indeed begun to become popular. The forces basically have equipment, but it is more or less a problem.
Although from the perspective of future generations, there are still many shortcomings of one kind or another, but it is already rare at this time, and he did not plan to let these excellent military equipment go moldy in the warehouse, but used it directly…
You don’t even need it when you go up the mountain to fight monsters, so when are you going to use it? It’s not something you buy and store for appreciation.
Gu Mo, who was riding on a horse, hurried on the road, lowered his head and pondered the rough matchlock gun in his hand, and finally shook his head. The use of this thing was not in line with his idea, so it gave soldiers an advantage in terms of scale. It would be quite unwise to use this thing alone against the enemy in a non-battlefield confrontation.
The operation is slightly complicated, and the loading speed is too slow…
It feels better to use a bow and arrow…
Glancing at the black-haired girl next to him, and looking at the longbow behind Xiuchiyo, Gu Mo exhaled and put down the arquebus. Sure enough, the gameplay cannot be equal to reality. It can also fire a shot every second.
seems to be able to shoot directly by pulling the trigger. As long as there is still ammunition, there is no need to load or complicated operations, so muskets and cannons have practical value.
But in reality, it’s not that easy.
They marched all the way, and it didn’t take long for the group to reach the halfway up the mountainside. A camp shrouded in fog appeared in front of them. It was the barracks of the soldiers who were originally guarding the mountain. A checkpoint was set up on the steep part of the mountainside to cut off the road up the mountain. .
In the back of the camp, you can see the vague buildings built on the mountain, gorgeous and delicate, with eaves and eaves, layer upon layer, as if flying.
It takes two or three years to build such a luxurious mansion on this kind of rocky mountain. It’s a bit of a waste of money… But after thinking about what the old man is for, Gu Mo thinks it seems to be understandable, if not so The big project is used as a cover up on the bright side, and the act of hiding a large number of spiritual stones here is probably exposed long ago.
“It’s here, kill them!”
Looking at the silhouettes of things that were clearly inhuman in the dark and foggy camp, Gu Mo also saw some familiar figures. He looked back at the group of iron cannons behind him, and found the group of soldiers. Some of them looked dignified, some were nervous, but they were not afraid of being overwhelmed.
All have faced demons and have experience. As his thoughts turned, he directly issued an order.
The iron cannons behind Shigara quickly approached, and at the same time, they raised the iron cannons in their hands in unison. The tactics are very simple. First use the artillery to bombard one round, kill the opposite side as much as possible, and then look at the distance between the two sides. See if there is time to reload to shoot the second round, if there is naturally the best, if not they will use cold weapons to meet.
boom! Boom!
A burst of gunshots like firecrackers, crackling for a while, echoed in the empty mountains, and then there was the strong smell of gunpowder and gunpowder smoke.
The tragic and angry roar resounded. In the strange fog-shrouded camp in front, the ghosts who seemed to be wandering back and forth without a purpose were hit hard at once. As a low-level cannon fodder, they are not copper skins. Iron bones can be hurt by bows, arrows and swords, not to mention musket projectiles.
There are quite a few individuals among them, all of whom had just noticed the aura of strangers, turned their heads, and collapsed with a crackling sound.
However, most of those who suffered were little monsters like hungry ghosts, and only one or two of ordinary ghosts fell. The rest were either uninjured or very lightly injured, and were thoroughly provoked.
With hideous faces and red eyes, those demons turned their heads one after another, roaring and rushing towards the mountain road outside the camp!
The group of soldiers also quickly put down their iron guns, drew out their cold weapons, and prepared to fight… But there was a figure faster than them.
Hidechiyo pulled out his sword, and it was as light as a swallow, flying over the line formed by the soldiers on the mountain road, and landed at the forefront. The one who picked up the sword and fell, slashed the head of the fastest and most aggressive demon. Next, probably because the blade is too fast and too hasty, that headless burly body still habitually rushed forward for a dozen steps before falling down!
—A fountain of blood spurted from its neck, dyeing the surrounding ground red.
With the help of the inertia of swinging the knife, the girl had no idea of taking it back at all. Instead, she took advantage of the situation and turned forward. The blade of the cold light flashed a great arc of air, which directly swept the other two little hungry ghosts. Uniformly divided into two parts, simply neat.
A big hungry ghost, which is bigger than a human and whose head is so deformed that it seems to be able to swallow a human being, let out a shrill cry, but just after making a flying action, a fist-sized fireball whistled. A spiral of fire and light was drawn in the air, and it just hit it.
The Hungry Ghost who was knocked down screamed and rolled on the ground, and his body was on fire. Although it was only a short breath or two, the remaining flames were quickly extinguished, but half of its body was scorched black and was bombarded by fireballs. The place in the middle was bubbling with black smoke and heat, and the skin had no longer turned out of flesh and blood, turning into a charred paste intertwined with charred black and scarlet!
In Gu Mo’s line of sight, you can definitely see the blood bar displayed on the top of this hungry ghost’s head, almost half of it was knocked out all at once.
He frowned indiscernibly, and another talisman paper with mysterious patterns appeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, the talisman paper that should have been light and weightless immediately burned after he let go, turning into a talisman that was the same as before. Fist-sized fireball!
Boom!
hit the Hungry Ghost in the head again and completely cut off the other half of the blood.
It’s a pretty good performance. Compared to the way he used to fight wits and bravery against hungry ghosts, Gu Mo seems to be a lot more relaxed now, but he himself has a helpless expression on his face.
He knows his own affairs. Last night, he stepped up his intensive training and filled up the proficiency of “Fire Bullet”, which was already very little left, and really mastered this skill. As far as usage is concerned, this seems to be the fireball technique that is indispensable in general mage professional skills, but it is only oriental.
But two fire bullets can kill a big hungry ghost. This is still the case of the fire attribute damage bonus of the guardian spirit increase…
Moreover, he has not yet mastered special powers such as spiritual power, so there is no way to directly biu out fire bombs. He can only use his physical strength and spirit in advance, and make magic talismans with materials, but the number is always very limited.
“Need to increase spell power… Intellect or Spirit? Or both?”
Thinking like this in his mind, he simply pulled out the saber from his waist and slapped a magic talisman on the blade, causing a faint light to suddenly appear on the blade, which was already cold. The power of power, for the things of the eternal life, is the net attribute of true damage.
The number of fire bullets that can be directly attacked is limited, and the lethality is also limited.
On the other hand, there was another big hungry ghost. Although the **** mouth was extremely terrifying and infiltrating, the appearance of fiercely flying and biting was also very scary, but perhaps the body has begun to form an instinct, or Yuan Laiguang gave him pain. The resulting muscle memory is at work.
He directly slanted to dodge, and stabbed back at the moment they passed by!
The blade was fast and urgent, and in the blink of an eye, the efficacious power broke through the demonic protection of the eternal things, and the hungry ghost was directly divided into two parts, the left and the right, and the stomach was broken and the intestines flowed all over the ground.
turned around and glanced, Gu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth and silently clenched the saber in his hand.
is still easy to use, it is better to draw a knife enchantment to give the opponent a savage blow for a long time… Sure enough, this is the correct way to open the battle of the mage! He got it!
